1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: I listened to the Black Guy Who Tips podcast because

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Rod and Karen a heart hard to listen to. Try

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: giving this podcast a good two weeks, and I had

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: to cut that short. The formula of choosing the topic

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: and having a one side of argument people on Twitter's

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: tweets gets old. After sixty minutes, the host of self

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: acclaimed feminist and true Steve harvest Style started to attack

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: woman when they brought him to task for something he

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: said while calling woman without check marks on social media

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: and nobodies. As much as I wanted to like this podcast,

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: an hour of arguing just wasn't my cup of tea.

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: That exerts by asking me on a one star review

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: on iTunes one of my favorite authors, and then I

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: wanted to add this from another exert that I'm reading

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: this book called creative Quest. Okay, who gets to determine

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: when the artist is on track and when an artist

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: is off track? The artist is the track. Hey, welcome

Speaker 2: Library, and it was fun. It was a lot of fun.

33
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: We were surrounded by a bunch of people that came

34
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: out to support us. It was live. My parents showed up,

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: fans showed up. We got to see some people for

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: a second, third, fourth time. It was really cool, uh,

37
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: some people for the first time, like, uh, definitely a

38

00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: your comments for that episode next week too, because I

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: know it's only been up one day. You guys didn't

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,160

Speaker 2: see that show live.

50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: Right. Uh So the excerpt from creative quest I wanted

51
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: to get to. I thought that was a bar like

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: who determines when an artist is on track or off track?

53
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: The artist is the track, and I think the way

54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: people look at artists is very much like they're whack now,

55
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: they're good now. I like them now, I don't like

56
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: them now, as opposed to the idea that the artist,

57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: we're just watching the journey. That's it, and that's only

58
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: that's the only thing you sign up for.

59
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: You know.

60
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: It makes me think about the podcast because I always

61
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: tell people I'm didn't start to show with you in mine,

62
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: like I'm not know who you was. I don't wake

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: up every day and think I hope these strangers on

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: the internet agree with me. I wake up every day

65
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: and think about myself, and I feel like the journey

66
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: we've been on is one for me of self discovery.

67
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: Not not the opposite way, or I haven't felt like

68
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm discovering the world so much as trying to discover

69
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: my place within it. And so a lot of times

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna lead to people not liking It's gonna lead

71
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: to people, you know, taking a joke about, you know,

72
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: not having check marks seriously and dedicating their life to

73
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: leaving a one star review. It's gonna take that, you know,

74
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: and that's a path that I'm totally fine with. Man,

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: I was were listening or watching the show The Shop

76
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: Lebron James uh was it should be a podcast, should

77
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: be But yeah, I was watching that show and he

78
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: wasn't on this episode, but Whoopi Goldberg was in there,

79
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, she was speaking truth to power.

80
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: I loved it everything she said. I was just like,

81
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: this is why people fuck with Whooby, you know, as

82
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: much as Woopy as said fucked up shit and made

83
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: mistakes and all this stuff and has views that I,

84
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: you know, people totally disagree with. She said some shit

85
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: that was so real, and she was like, look, the

86
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: only thing you can be as authentic to yourself and

87
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: people will either like it or don't like it, but

88
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: you have to like you, So you got to start

89
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: with where you're at. And if people don't fuck with it,

90
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: so what like why give them all that power over

91
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: your life, like trying to fit into these motherfucking groups

92
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: of folks like you know, And I joke about it,

93
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: but you know, seriously, I really do like who I

94
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: am and I want to and I want to be

95
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: able to like who I am, you know in that way.

96
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think on the creative side, feeling that

97
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: feedback from criticism and stuff is something that you know,

98
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: it sucks sometimes because sometimes it's completely irrelevant, like someone

99
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: saying just Steve Harvey and you know, it's just like

100
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: that bounces off of you because it's so it doesn't fit.

101
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: But sometimes you know, it's something that might sting, or

102
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: it's something that really gets to you. And learning that

103
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: balance of being like, well that's that's a fair criticism,

104
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: but also I've thought about what I'm putting out to

105
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: the world, and this is what I want it to be.

106
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's something that's that I think a lot

107
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: of people have a hard time achieving. I know, I do,

108
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, and I've had to learn how to mitigate that,

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, such as we only read the nice reviews

110
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: and stuff unless I can make a joke out of it.

111
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was. It was like, don't be too

112
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: hard on yourself. You are the track, you are the journey.

113
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: You are the person that listens. The person listening is

114
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: listening for where you take them right.

115
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: And also I think, I think for me, I agree.

116
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: You have to be comfortable with who you are. You

117
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: have to live your life for you and not anybody else,

118
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, so many people

119
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: have so many varying views on what they think your

120
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: life should be. Be it your immediate family, your brothers,

121
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: your sisters, your mom, your aunts and uncles. A lot

122
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: of them have views on how they think your life

123
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: should go. And this is not including complete strangers like

124
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: people that you interact with every day. They know your names,

125
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 2: a security number, your address, your telephone number. Them people

126
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: have trajectories on where they think your life should go

127
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: and how they think. You didn't make the right decision here,

128
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: you made the wrong step here. Life is full of mistakes,

129
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: and mistakes are going to be made, but that's part

130
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: of life. You live and you learn from mistakes and

131
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: errors and things like that. And yeah, you've got to

132
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: get to the point, and sometimes even these loved ones,

133
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: but you got to say, I actually don't give a

134
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: fuck about what you feel or think about my life.

135
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 2: And because most people I talked to, quote unquot respect

136
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: your elders and all that shit, that's a very very

137
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: hard place to get to. Well, you got to turn

138
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: to tell somebody I really don't care what you think

139
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: today and mean it, and and just guess what, let

140
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: them sit in the let them sit in the feeling

141
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: of ohce, she don't go fuck about how I feel

142
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: about it? Right, I don't. I absolutely people don't want

143
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: to deal with that awkwardness of telling us that you

144
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: love and care about it. I don't want to hear

145
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: what you got to say about my life. Just let

146
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: me live in that.

147
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I think, yeah, you're taking it to

148
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: a different place, but yeah, I think that that applies.

149
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: Is even when it is you know, outside of just creativity,

150
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, just your life. Your life is you creating

151
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: what you want out of it. And so there's gonna

152
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: be people that detract from that. There's gonna people with

153
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: all kinds of judgments and shit. But you know, I

154
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: think and what I found with Whoopee that it was

155
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: really affirming, was watching her like full throated at defense

156
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: of like nah this like like I think I just

157
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: sent us something about voting and stuff, and how you know,

158
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: he just didn't he knew people. He didn't say it

159
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: was himself, but he knew people that just didn't feel

160
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: inspired by the people on the bout ticket and blah

161
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: blah blah. And she was like, fuck that shit, you know.

162
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: And it was really it was really pertinent because it

163
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: was like, you know, who else is in that room,

164
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams, Stacy Abrams thos know about the voting populace

165
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: and more than about policy and everything than anyone else

166
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: in that fucking room, right, And she was like, listen,

167
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: the one thing I care about in twenty twenty is

168
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: people going to vote correct. She literally said two days ago,

169
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: we have to overwhelm the system with votes, That's what

170
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: she said. But I'm supposed to be prioritized the feelings

171
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: of somebody's just like, you know, I just don't feel

172
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: like it. You don't. Unfortunately, you don't get to center

173
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: everything around your feelings. No, so some shit is like

174
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to feel great about it, but you

175
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: need to do it. That's why it's called a civic duty,

176
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: not a fucking civic you know. It's it's not like

177
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: a civic treat, you know what I mean. It's not

178
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: a civic birthday present, like, it's a duty, you know.

179
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: And and so I really appreciated that conversation, and Woobie

180
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: was just holding the room down in a way that

181
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: I just, you know, I love to see. I really

182
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: want her to have her own podcast where she can cuss,

183
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: because I felt like had the cussing added something extra

184
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: to it. And she was in full like black like Auntie,

185
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck, you know, like if they

186
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: could have just put a space card table right there,

187
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: she would have just had no business and be reading

188
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: everybody for filth. And I loved it. It was probably one

189
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: of my favorite episodes of the shop because of her,

190
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: And like I said, that's a person that I really

191
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: have had these moments where I'm like, I don't know

192
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: what the fuck's wrong with would be you know, she

193
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: she gonna have them again. But there was something about

194
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: her being like, at least I'm being authentic about the ship.

195
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: Well I had to be like I can respect that,

196
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: and especially when her talking about like, you can't be

197
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: to please all the people on Twitter. You can't be

198
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: trying to please all the people fuck them, Like literally,

199
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: they don't know you, they don't invest in you, and

200
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: they don't have the answers either, and a lot of

201
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: times they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

202
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: And I was just like, well, goddamn, there it is.

203
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: Put that on the T shirt. Let me buy twelve,

204
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: you know.

205
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: Right, Because her thing is, you have people that are

206
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: talking about things and sometimes they're not even educated in

207
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: these areas, but they know the answer, And like she said,

208
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: they convince you that they know the answers when they

209
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: don't bother fucking know the answers either.

210
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't therefore it that's the answer, and it's

211
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: very simple. We should all do it. But they really

212
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: don't know, you know. And but back to the original quote,

213
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: the artist is attract and that's what it reminds me of.

214
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: These are people that are essentially tuning in to watch

215
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: you and they're giving their opinion every step of the way,

216
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: but they don't fucking know, you know, like this is

217
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: just their opinion, and it's like the only responsibility you

218
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: have is to create for yourself and then some people

219
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: will like it, some people won't. So I just thought

220
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: that was really dope because I do have this weird

221
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: abstract theory that I already know most people won't agree with.

222
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't really talk about it or flooded out there

223
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: that often, but I don't believe that extremely talented people

224
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: make like whack shit.

225
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: Now.

226
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: I know that that's a very like. I know that's

227
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: not a popular because you know it's people like, well, well,

228
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Kanye y, this was whack or whatever. You know, I'm not.

229
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: I really wouldn't want to argue with people about it.

230
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: It's there. It's just my personal belief system. But I

231
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: think people that are really talented they just make art

232
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: that you might not understand. But I don't think they

233
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: lose all the genius and shit that you've been attributing

234
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: to them just suddenly it's like and now they're not

235
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: a genius anymore, right, Like, No, they just did something

236
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: that maybe you need a very specific mind frame to

237
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: understand it, you know, to go back to the well

238
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: with Kanye West, I know, the album for for a

239
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: lot of people was the what was that album called

240
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: the one where he did auto tune the whole time.

241
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: It's sane, And I remember the reception to that was

242
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: at first it was like, fuck, this Ship is not

243
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: a rap album? Why this Ship is so sad? I

244
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: don't like this, you know? And Heartbreak? Yeah, I remember that,

245
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: and I remember listening to it at first and being like, Hm,

246
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: I don't really like this shit? What is this shit?

247
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: What is kindy of ain't thinking? This isn't good? This

248
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: isn't even rap, Like what, like what the fuck? There's

249
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: like one rap song on the whole goddamn album, like

250
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: this is crazy you thank you Andre three thousand nigga

251
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And then I remember, Uh, it might

252
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: have been when I lost my job or something, but

253
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: I remember I went through a time where I was

254
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, sad, and I listened to that

255
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: album and it just it just communicated with me in

256
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: a way that I had never really experienced before.

257
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: He was singing here that that was a form of

258
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: his pain. And sometimes when it comes to certain things,

259
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 2: people don't want to admit. Sometimes people artists make shit

260
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: and you just ain't the mood, like if you're a

261
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: happy person you're going through and they put out some

262
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: sad shit, like fuck that shit. That's because you might

263
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: not be able to relate to it. Or either they

264
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: put some inspiring shit you don't feel inspired by it. That's,

265
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: you know, that's because you're just not in that spot.

266
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: Because the thing about music, music has a mood, and

267
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: sometimes music might not hit you right when it first

268
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 2: come out. Sometimes it takes a while before you realize that,

269
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: oh this shit is banging or slamming. I wasn't in

270
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: the right friend of my mind like all of like

271
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 2: I realized a lot of times, which is human nature.

272
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: People take the way that they feel and they want

273
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: the artists to make shit directly towards them. But that's

274
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 2: not the artist's job. The artist job is to make art.

275
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: The artist is the track, that's the thing. So yeah, man,

276
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: it really made me think about that, you know, in general,

277
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: and so combined with earlier in this week, which is

278
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: really just just what do you call it for tourists timing.

279
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: But when I was when read that thing, you it

280
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: was like you got to learn how to throw out

281
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: their irrelevant reviews and the irrelevant criticism that's not really critical,

282
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: it's not really constructive, it's not really real and how

283
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: everyone feels like that have to review everything and everyone

284
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: has access to everyone and every time. That's the reason

285
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to read that one star reviews because I

286
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: was just thinking, like, damn, look at the time, and

287
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: it's like, life really be setting you up sometimes for

288
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: like to be prepared for some shit that's about to happen,

289
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: so you can be like, oh, yeah, yeah, I saw

290
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: this coming from a mile away, you know.

291
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: So anyway, and before we move on going back to

292
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: the shop, one thing about Whoopy, regardless of if you

293
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: agree or disagree or whatever however you feel about Whoopy,

294
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, she is a black woman.

295
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: And also something that she said it was profound. It

296
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: actually stuck with me. She was like, y'all can't be

297
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: shitting on the peoples who showed us y'all standing on

298
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: a lot of people have a tendency to do that,

299
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: particularly when you're young. Most young people have a tendency

300
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: to do that because they always assumed that it starts

301
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: with them, when no, there are other people out there

302
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: that have done things and voted and whatn't inspired and

303
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: all that shit. But they did it because it was

304
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: a goddamn right thing to do. They didn't do it

305
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: because I don't feel like it. Oh no, They was like,

306
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: I consider the future. I got to think about the future,

307
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: my children, my grandchildren, my nieces, my nephews, my cousins.

308
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: You constantly have to think about the next generation. And

309
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are so fucking self

310
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: centered that they do not consider the next generation. What

311
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: happens when I don't vote, What happens when I don't

312
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: voice my opinion, what happens when I don't fight back,

313
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: what happens when people's rights are stripped away? What happens

314
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: when I'm gone? What is my legacy going to be?

315
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: Because the thing is the legacy that we live in now.

316
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: I don't know what it's gonna be, y'all. Because we

317
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: can sit back and we can talk about the past

318
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: because it happened, and we actually can read about it

319
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: and learn about it. But what happens when we get

320
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: to the point where people erase that shit, literally erase

321
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: that shit and and change it into something that's not true,

322
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: and you have another generation of people.

323
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: That don't even know who the.

324
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: Fuck fault, what happened or anything like that. I mean,

325
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: it's people in that spot now don't get me wrong,

326
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: but it gonna be even worse as the time goes

327
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: on and as people try to erase the past and

328
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: erase the people that were there before you enact like

329
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: these people never fucking existed.

330
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know. I wasn't trying to turn

331
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: it into the whole like thing, but I do feel

332
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: like what she said about that is just generational and

333
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: Hassamonage and her they represented the in the generational conflict

334
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: that we see all the time, which is the younger

335
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: generation always thinks, well, the old generation did nothing but

336
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: make mistakes, and that's why we inherited what we have,

337
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: and they never think about the progress that was made

338
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: by those generations because they take it for granted. That's

339
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: really what it's almost like, that's what the job is.

340
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: You do your best, and then the next generation texted

341
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: for granted, and this will happen in our generation as well,

342
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: and it happened to the generation after us. But you're

343
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: only living the time you're here, and so they don't.

344
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: They haven't thought about it. So im notche hasn't really

345
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: contextualized it. And the only age can give you that

346
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: like when he's fifty, when he's sixty, he'll be looking like, damn,

347
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: we weren't all bad. We tried, we thought we did things.

348
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: So you know, I think anyway, I think people should

349
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: tune into that episode of the Shop. I thought it

350
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: was really good, and I thought Whoopee was really good.

351
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: And I think the the imagery that can't be lost

352
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: on me is that when the politics came up, you're

353
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: sitting in a room where the two people that were

354
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: the most vocal and knowledgeable and thoughtful, in my opinion,

355
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 1: were black women and that and I thought that that

356
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: was interesting in a room where you have, you know,

357
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: white women. I think they were both like lesbian. Possibly

358
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about Superbirds. Don't mean not let me

359
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: not speculate, but I know at least uh Megan rappingo

360
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: is and then matter of fact, I think Superbird said

361
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: she was in the interview. So anyway, but you're sitting there,

362
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: you got black men in there, you got all these people.

363
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: But when it came to that stuff, it was it

364
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: was okay, super Bird is married to Megan Rapping, No,

365
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: there you go. So when it came but when it

366
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: came to like politics and stuff just in general voting

367
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: and stuff like Stacey Abrams and Whippery whoopee held it

368
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: down in a way that I just don't think can

369
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: be dismissed. And like I said, you don't have to agree.

370
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: I saw people trying to do the row eyes and shit,

371
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: but I think she was just one hundred percent right

372
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: about Twitter and how you really can't listen or live

373
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: for these motherfuckers. And you know, it's definitely a lesson

374
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: I took to heart because I was like, yo, I

375
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: felt that pressure before, like oh, well, what are these

376
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: motherfuckers don't like what I say? Or but you know,

377
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: who gives a fun I'm doing my best and that's

378
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: the only obligation I have, and that obligation is not

379
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: to them. That's to myself to do my best. That's

380
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: to my family to do my best. That's to you

381
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: to do my best. I don't like. At the end

382
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: of the day, that's all I owe anybody. So all right,

383
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: let's get into the review show. Okay, we have a

422
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: into five views. You know the positive ones that people

423
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: left that one, the ones that count, the one we count.

424
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: Oh man, you know the funniest thing about that other

425
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: views that I remember that interaction on Twitter and it

426
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: was a joke, but I love to know that it

427
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: did hurt their feelings, Like I don't know why the

428
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: pity and me up and was like, who that really

429
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 1: hurt your feelings? That joke. It's like the reward for

430
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: people not being able to take the punishment for people

431
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: not being able to take a joke is that they

432
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: get offended by the joke, and it's like, well that's

433
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: kind of the I'll take that as well. If you

434
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: can't laugh at yourself, then at least let me laugh

435
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: at you. Uh So we got five star reviews, two

436
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: of them since the last time we did a feedback show,

437
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: which because they take like a week off. So I

438
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:37,919

456
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: one sided argument on Twitter tweets redundant that gets all.

457
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: After sixty minutes, I feel like we're doing okay, you know.

488
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: upon some sex.

489
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,440

Speaker 1: That was the last feedback episode. Okay, I'll get to

493
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: the I'll get to the review. In the second I

494
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: got like anonymous says, laugh my ass off happened upon

495
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: from sex? Does sound suspect now that I've heard it

496
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: out loud. Oh and that was an issue on the

497
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: website where for some reason they make everyone's comments anonymous.

498
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: I fixed it, but god, it's just like you do

499
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: an update on WordPress, and it just was like, yeah,

00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: so this is happening, and all we got like why

00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: won't nobody log into the site? And then I would

502
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: and fixed it. It was like, what the fuck? It

503
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't even let me post a comment without being anonymous,

504
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: and I on the goddamn sorry anyway, So I think

505
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: this is Brooklyn shoe bag lab my ass off. Having

506
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,480

00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,879

535
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: Yes, And for those of you that was like I

536
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 2: already got five, put ten. Gone over there to the

537
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: black guy who tips spoiled movie reviews and leave us

538
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: a five star view over there?

539
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: All right? Who had more joy in their singing today?

540
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 1: This is our feedback poll, Rod caring or it's a tie. Okay,

541
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: This is a close poll with thirty two percent it's

542
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: a tie with thirty two percent, Rod, which means with

543
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: thirty six percent, somehow Karen still beat me when I

544
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: was giving my best. You guys are biased. I reject

545
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: the results of this side took the poll.

546
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: How you want to recount?

547
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: I count all the ones that say it's a tie

548
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: as being for me, because that's really that's really are sympathy.

549
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: Those are sympathy votes that you said, oh he blue

550
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: carrying out the water, so.

551
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: They don't want to pick so they just like A

552
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: just says.

553
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: The time, I know what this means. We got two

554
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: comments at Licta says okay, Beyonce, Rod, I love you,

555
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: but you were trying way too hard with that singing

556
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: in those runs. Karen wins this round. Oh so, now

557
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: y'all liked singers that don't try hard. When did we

558
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: start liking that because I put a little work into

559
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: my singing. All of a sudden, y'all don't like the

560
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: elbow grease Starbar two thousand says, I love you, Rober.

561
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: Those misplaced runs exuded forced manufactured joy, which doesn't hold

562
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: a candle to the real deal. I can literally hear

563
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: Queen Karen's smile when she sings Fox joined me, But

564
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: thank you for giving me the hardest gut rich and last.

565
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: I've had a long time ride. I needed it. Well,

566
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: you know what Starbar two thousand. First of all, my

567
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: joy is not manufactured. Okay, it's real. It came. I'm

568
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: inside uh as. Second one, Karen smile is fake, okay,

569
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: is not for everything? She didn't. She the one faking Okay,

570
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: y'all the one that fail for it.

571
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: Not I smile all the time. Sometimes I was probably

572
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: smile too much.

573
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying. She smiled all the time, which

574
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: means it's fake. It's not it's not real. Okay. I

575
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: put effort into my smile and she just came, came through,

576
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: and y'all fail for it, and it's you know, it's

577
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: not my bad. The artist is the tract, is what

578
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. And I feel like my y'all

579
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: criticism is irrelevant today. So I should have wondered easily.

580
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: Oh that was the whole twenty thirty four Trying to

581
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 1: Help Wash was an episode we talked about the reaction

582
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: to Kobe Bryant's death. Lean Away with a Bunch of Stuff,

583
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: Terry Crews and his apology to Gabrielle Union, not the

584
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: did gap you ever even talk about that apology? I

585
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: feel like she didn't even reply.

586
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: I don't think she addressed.

587
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: So it's over. Yeah, it's over for him. So we

588
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: got one comment. Michelle says, I'm Trinidad, trinidaddy in, which

589
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: is nothing special about. There's nothing special about dreadlocks that

590
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: represent the culture there, the Rastafarian movement originating in Jamaica.

591
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: I doubt the student wearing the dreads is a rosta.

592
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: It was simply his choice of hairstyle, which he is

593
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: entitled to make. The schools seemed to change the rules

594
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: for no reason. I know this detail makes no difference

595
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: in the school's decisions suspend the student for his hairstyle,

596
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: but I felt like being one of those people today. Sorry.

597
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: Well you know what, Michelle, You can always choose to

598
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: not be one of those people. But I respect your

599
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: choice to be one of those people. Okay, I understand.

600
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it. Guy ain't thing to doing

601
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: being trenddaddy in either not my culture, not my table,

602
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: not my country. But that was what his reasoning was,

603
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 1: and maybe he attaches some type of meaning to his

604
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: hairstyle and like his father's country origin or whatever, So

605
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's not for me to decide. I think

606
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: one of the things I think is kind of weird.

607
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: It is like we try to universalize all these fucking

608
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: personal choices in the things, and if it's like, who

609
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: can I how can I tell him that that doesn't

610
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: represent his heritage. It's like people have just said I

611
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: want my hair like this because I'm black, and I'll

612
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: be like, well, not all black people wear their hair

613
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, they we don't, but it's essentially a

614
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: black thing he's doing. Everybody hare can't do that, you know.

615
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think I'm okay with either way.

616
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 2: But that's say such a it's such.

617
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: A weird footnote that I don't really care. Would you

618
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: watch the all black Asian reboot reboot of the Friends

619
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: of Friends? Yep, I'm in. Nope, I'm good, Karen, I mean, okay,

620
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: Karen will watch all black reboot of the show Friends? Uh, nope,

621
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm good. I didn't watch the first one with the

622
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: white people, and I probably wouldn't watch the second one.

623
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: Although I'm not rooting against those black people. Hope they

624
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: win all the Grammys and Emmies or whatever the fuck

625
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: you get for those shows. But I don't know. Friends

626
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: never really interested me. Oh you mean just like Friends

627
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: show Friends? Yeah, I guess. I mean that's what what

628
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: did know?

629
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: Because I didn't watch Friends. You know, I thought we

630
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: were going to take Friends and spruce it up, and I.

631
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: Mean black it up. I guess put some blackness in it.

632
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean I'd rather watch a living single or something.

633
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,239
Speaker 1: I agree Friends, but you know that you wouldn't need

634
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: to reboot it with black people. You just you know. Anyway,

635
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: Anything for Bernie was this.

636
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: Episode with the numbers. Did you do the numbers?

637
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: Oh shit? Did I not do the numbers? Yeah? I didn't. Okay,

638
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: sixty four percent say they good, thirty six percent say

639
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: they in okay, So I think I mean I'm good.

640
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: I don't want it. Anything for Bernie was episode twenty

641
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: thirty five. Got one comment from a mine man anytime

642
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: you know what else to care? Anytime I started talking about.

643
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 2: Bernie, people come out to worry about that.

644
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: It is about that time for us to start getting

645
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: bad reviews, weird emails.

646
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: Right your messages and post yourself. They probably got your

647
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: shit starred you deleted it. They's like, fuck it, I'm

648
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: gonna take a snapshot and I'm gonna beat Shore that

649
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: I'm remind him.

650
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that. That's probably all this.

651
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: Is every time he runs, and when it get close

652
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: to the election, you know, they kind of scattered, but yeah,

653
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 2: they'll be back.

654
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: I just need that man to like, no, I'm not

655
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: even gonna say it, because I would vote for him.

656
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: I don't know why these niggas be so mad if

657
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: you're not like sucking his dick. Anyway, That was up

658
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: twenty thirty five. Anything for Bernie. Your mom says, hey, y'all,

659
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: you're reading Rambow. Segment reminded me of a conversation I

660
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: had with my sister, who's a journalist and a freelance writer.

661
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,479
Speaker 1: He did an interview with a foster parent, and people

662
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: kept calling or texting her about how it was so

663
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: good and impressive it made them cry. She called me

664
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: upset because to her it was literally the simplest thing

665
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: she ever wrote. She was kind of insulted, in fact,

666
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: because she does a lot of research for other things

667
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: she's written. I laughed and reminded her that's how people

668
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: are with that's how people are when they don't do

669
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: what you do. Always going to like or understand your

670
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: high art and may rave and gush about something you

671
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: think is so simple. Definitely going to have to check

672
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 1: out Quest Loves book.

673
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, because you know it's one of those things

674
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 2: with when people don't put things out there, they don't

675
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: really undamn. But there's things that you do as a

676
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 2: creative where you go, I like this, I think this,

677
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 2: this is cool, and people getting it be like I

678
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 2: didn't have the same thing to this some ship where

679
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 2: you like this is okay, and people going it's the

680
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: best thing in the world, and you're like, oh, okay,

681
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: I guess y'all determine.

682
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think also like you have to let go

683
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of your expectations and desires for the

684
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: audience reaction correct. You know, like you can't be a

685
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: control freak or perfectionist in that way because you're you're

686
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 1: dealing with You're dealing with other people, and other people

687
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: are variables, and so you know, it's something that you

688
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: really over the years, I know I've had to learn

689
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: to let go to be like, well, some people ain't

690
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: gonna like it, you know, and how the fuck can

691
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: I really be mad at that when we have been

692
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: so supportive and so affirmed and so like, we have

693
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:15,479
Speaker 1: had every thought that we feel about what we do

694
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: essentially support it. Like people have come back and say,

695
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: I actually do like this thing. I like. Some people

696
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: even go, I didn't like this at first, Now I

697
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: do like it, you know. So yeah, I can't even

698
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: can't even complain. God'll just let people do what they feel,

699
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: what they feeling. I'm sure I have my things that

700
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: I don't like and stuff, and that's what that's for me,

701
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, to try to decide how to determine and

702
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 1: handle that stuff.

703
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 2: You know, I'm trying.

704
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm really focusing on allowing people more room to cook,

705
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: to make their mistakes, to do the things I don't like,

706
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: to disagree with the things I believe. Like I'm trying

707
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: my best to like allow for people's humanity because I

708
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: feel and maybe it's an overcorrection, but I feel like

709
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: too much pressure via the Internet and social media and

710
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: just media in general, too much pressure has become about

711
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: like being very black or white, on people being very dismissive,

712
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: being very like there is no right answer except the

713
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: one I arrived to anything else is my enemy, all.

714
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 2: Right, there is no other way. One plus one equals two,

715
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: three minus one equals two, two plus zero equals two.

716
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 2: So my thing is, as long as you come up

717
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 2: with the same results, who can talk about how you

718
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: get there? And that's how I've always felt. Who who

719
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: cares what road the mountain you took to get there.

720
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 1: But that's assuming you get to the same result. I'm saying.

721
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're not gonna get to the same result. I

722
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: was reading the article today where Lena Waite was addressing

723
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: the commentary around her film Coin and Slim and how

724
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: a lot of black people, specifically black women, felt ultimately

725
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: betrayed by that film and felt very hurt by the

726
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: ending and felt very confused by what the messaging was

727
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing. The love scene, slash, the black kids, shooting,

728
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: the cop scene and shit. And there's a lot of anger,

729
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: righteous anger from a lot of the people that she

730
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: promoted that film to. You know, she used all the

731
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: woke buzzwords that got those people to feel like it

732
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: was some type of safeness or some type of understanding

733
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: and envision that they never would experience from someone else,

734
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: and it led to people arguing for weeks and all

735
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: this shit. So she was defending her film and someone

736
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: had sent this to me, like, look at this interview,

737
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: and I'll you know, I mean, I on front. Some

738
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: of it I did find to be kind of laughable

739
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: or kind of like typical typical like deflection and avoiding

740
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: stuff that she's done before, you know. You know, they

741
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: brought up, you know, the me too movement and how

742
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: things happened on the set of the shot. So she

743
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: had told everybody how she would it would never happen

744
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: on one of her sets, and she would handle it

745
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: and all. And then all of a sudden, she was like,

746
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: I'm just a janitor. I don't know, I don't even

747
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: work here, you know. But at the end of the day, though,

748
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: when I read that shit and she defended her choices

749
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: in that film, you know what I said, that's her decision, correct,

750
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: I Like, the only real decision I get to make

751
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: is whether or not I want to see the next

752
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: Lena Waite film. That's it. Like, if she feels that

753
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: those were good decisions, I can see the reasoning to

754
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: why she feels those were good decisions. I don't need

755
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: to knock her down because I didn't enjoy it, or

756
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: because I felt that it would have been better with

757
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: a different decision. That's not my fucking That's not what

758
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: I want to do to her art. I want to

759
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: understand it. That's it. And if I can understand it,

760
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: then I can at least acknowledge, like, Okay, here's the

761
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: creativity in that. And I understood her point. You know,

762
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: she brought it back to like, you know, the nineties

763
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: and John Singleton flicks like Boys in the Hood and

764
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, Minister Society and you know, and how it

765
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: ended sometimes sad and people died or they didn't make

766
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: it out the hood or you know, and that was

767
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 1: a message that he wanted to send to America about

768
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: what was happening in black neighborhoods that people didn't give

769
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: a fuck about. And you know what, I remember that time.

770
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with it at that time.

771
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: Now it's twenty twenty, you would think, well, that was

772
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: already that statement was made in the nineties, Why do

773
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: we need to make it again, But you know what,

774
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: she felt like it was time for it to be

775
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: made again. That's it. So the same way that I

776
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: would defend like Tyler Perry's the choice to use shitty

777
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: wigs and at least he don't you know, he keep

778
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: it real. He'll never like try to use the woke

779
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: buzz words. He really be like, I'm over here making

780
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: films for my folk. Okay, lean Away, that's the art

781
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: she wants to make as a black person. She don't

782
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: have to represent me, she don't got to represent you.

783
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: And she can talk all that talk, but at the

784
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: end of the day, she represents lean A Waite and

785
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: that's all she's really responsible for doing. So I don't

786
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: know I was able to kind of let all that

787
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: shit go when I read it, and I know I

788
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: was supposed to get like worked up and be like

789
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: fuck her, but nah, it's her work, right.

790
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 2: And also I think for me. I mean, I talked

791
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 2: to you off my but I think for me overall.

792
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: And I don't know if it's a good or bad thing.

793
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 2: But a lot of times I'll see shit happened, I

794
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: go okay, and then I just turn around and go

795
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 2: and do what iut. Some shit, I don't even talk

796
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: to you about it. I'm like, oh, I don't give fuck,

797
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: and I just go on do it out like like

798
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 2: that's them. They have the right to do those things.

799
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: They have the right to say those things. I am

800
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 2: in control of my own emotions. I am in control

801
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 2: on how much I allow it to directly impact my

802
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: day to day life. I am in control of that.

803
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: A lot of times people on social media act like

804
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 2: they are not in control of their emotions and they

805
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: are not in control over the actions that they take

806
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: based off of somebody else's actions. You are. You don't

807
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 2: have to say anything, you don't have to respond. You

808
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: don't have to if you choose to, so be it.

809
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 2: You have the right to respond back. But they also

810
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 2: have the right to respond and not respond back to you.

811
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah so, And I think also it's just weird to

812
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: be like, I criticize your shit and now I expect

813
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: you to internalize it and change your entire point of view. No,

814
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: I did what I did. I did think about it.

815
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: So now what you're gonna do? Because that's really all

816
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: you can ask somebody, did you think about this choice

817
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: you made? Because there's there's thoughtless decisions, and there's you know,

818
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: decisions with intent. And if you can say, if you

819
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: tell an artist like I didn't like this thing you did,

820
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: and they go, well, I did that on purpose for

821
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: these reasons, right, I feel like you need to drop it.

822
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: I don't think there's another level to this. That's it.

823
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: The way I feel has been considered and they don't agree,

824
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: you know, And I think more people need to get

825
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 1: more comfortable with that shit. And I'm trying my best

826
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: to be comfortable with that, you know, and and and

827
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 1: accept people for This is this person's point of view.

828
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: This is where they're at. They're not coming off of

829
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: this for now.

830
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 2: Cool.

Speaker 1: is was very suspicious. So my brother and I were

847
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: raised by my grandmother that everything is the possibility of

848
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: a robbery set up. Don't let friends come over they

849
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: scoping the house out to get robbed. Left their keys

850
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: at the supermarket. Don't call and ask if they are there,

851
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: because someone will figure out where you live and come

852
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: rob you. Someone asks you for the time they're about

00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: comfortable comment again having said anybody up. But my wife

859
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: can't say the same. Let's just say, while working her

860
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,959
Speaker 1: retail job back into two thousands, management wasn't treating her well.

861

862
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: a couple of friends missing text here and they partied

863
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: as split the money. She's a different person now, God

864
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: is working on all of us.

865
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 2: I'm glad she's a different person now.

866
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: Oh man, So what episode was that? That was for anything?

867
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: For Bernie? Right? All right? So then the next episode

868
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: is Later with Leon, which had four comments. Someone told

869
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: me they actually watched Later with Leon. They told me

870
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: that on Facebook. They said I wouldn't watch Later with Leon.

871
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: They said it was not good because Leon was in

872
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: there talking about Gail Kane. I was like, oh, all right,

873
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about the comments. We got four, not a

874
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: They're not a niner. You guys know what I mean? Hey,

875
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: rody care. Tyler Perry got the views he did because

876
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: he spent thirty years building a fan base. Yeah, because

877
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: he got twenty six million views, which isn't the most

878
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: ever on Netflix or anything, but like it's a lot

879
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: more than what people would have had. You believe will

880
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: want to see some shitty show that blah blah blah.

881
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: Apparently it's it got pretty a lot of views. Tyler

882
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: Perry got the views he did because he spent thirty

883
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: years building up a fan base. The wokes on Twitter

884
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: are overestimating their power. They may have contributed a couple

885
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: of thousand views, but nothing that will ever make or

886
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: break him. He was already stated he's already stated that

887
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: he is going to start executive producing content. I don't

888
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: know what the uproar is about at this point. The

00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: high class Twitter niggas am mad that he hasn't hired them.

890
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,200

891
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:48,520

00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,600

896
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: a shade that is just being around here. Somebody said,

Speaker 1: learned something new about the Loving versus Virginia case. And

920
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: it's crazy how recent that was, isn't it Like when

921
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: I hear Love and Day, I always be thinking to myself, like, oh,

922
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: that must have been around since nineteen and twelve, and

923
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: it's like nineteen seventy six or whatever it was. Like, damn,

924
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: we got.

925
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 2: Family members that were born that age.

926
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: Yep. We looked up Loving Day June twelfth and decided

927
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: we would start celebrating it this year. Side note, we

928
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: are loving your premium content. We are also trying to

929
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: think of creative activities to do with our one year

930
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: old son for Black History Month. He's still pretty young,

931
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: so I think we will settle for taking him to

932
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: a museum featuring historical figures. He will understand none of it.

933
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: But it's really it's more for us and start a

934
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: tradition as a family. Do your families have anything special

935
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: you do for this month? Not really, we know, we've

936
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: never really been a family that celebrated like June teenth

937
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: or like Black History Month as far as like a

938
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: specific annual tradition. But I mean, obviously I got my

939
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: love of black history and stuff from when I was

940
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: a kid, and you know, my parents might take me

941
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: to like a Black history fair or something. My mom

942
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: I remember taking me to this black history like exhibit

943
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: it and then buying me books and stuff. I still

944
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,479
Speaker 1: remember those books. I know they're still on the shelf

945
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: at my parents' house.

946
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

947
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: Or the Mayflower What color was Jesus?

948
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, your dad just told me he bought some more bookshelves.

949
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, yeah, I definitely have that attachment.

950
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: But you all know what's interesting, And I know some

951
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: people feel like it's a controversial view. I personally don't

952
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: care which way you follow on this. I would I

953
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: don't have a problem either way. But I feel like

954
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: black history was like three sixty five, you know, like

955
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't like it's American history. So it wasn't necessarily

956
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: this thing that was cording off to just a month, right,

957
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't necessarily a thing that made me feel like yeah,

958
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: and so I do get excited for Black History Month

959
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: as especially as I get older. When I was when

960
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: I was younger, I wasn't that excited.

961
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 2: About black but I was the same preapproved Negroes.

962
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: And well, it was mostly through the ostices of school

963
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: that that that it would be quote unquote celebrated, and

964
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: the way it was taught was very, uh to me,

965
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: almost demeaning. There wasn't a lot of lessons, like teachers

966
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: weren't talking to us much. It was a lot more like,

967
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: let's watch eyes on the prize every day for a

968
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, let's talk about Martin Luther King. You know,

969
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 1: people do book reports on like you know, uh, the same,

970
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: like Karen said, preapproved negroes. And so it became like a.

971
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: Chore rise and it wasn't fun for me.

972
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, the white kids felt, you know, super guilty and shit.

973
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: And I know there's some black people that really get

974
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: off on that, but I'm not one of those black

975
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: people that get off on on like, look, how bad

976
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: the white people feel today, Oh, our dick is hard

977
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: Like to me, I'm like, that's sad that our history

978
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: makes them feel that way. And why is it being

979
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: taught in a way that isn't American history? Because you

980
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: teach me about the Founding fathers and you don't teach

981
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: the Founding fathers who did own slaves in a way

982
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: that's supposed to piss off black kids. Right, you don't

983
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: do that. That's not on purpose. You found a way

984
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: to make the motherfuckers palatable. But when you teach black history,

985
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: you make it sound like it's a fucking service to us,

986
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: or you know, like white people are you gotta learn this?

987
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: You gotta learn how sad these times where it's like, well,

988
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, maybe talk about different stories, or maybe teach

989
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: instead of just showing a fucking film like and being

990
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: ashamed or being.

991
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 2: Like that's because they don't want to teach it.

992
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, teach the fucking lesson the way you taught me

993
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: and this other shit. You know, I know a lot

994
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: of the history shit is full of lives and bullshit,

995
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: but it's like dog like, it's an obvious, stark difference

996
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: between this and Black history. Teachings and other stuff. So anyway,

997
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, it wasn't really a thing

998
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 1: we like, quote unquote celebrated like that. We also didn't

999
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: like celebrate Kwanza and all that stuff. You know, I

1000
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: know some black houses did, we just weren't one of

1001
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: those houses. As for the Iowa caucus, wow, are we

1002
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: an embarrassment. I don't understand the point of how they

1003
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: do it and wish they would just let us vote

1004
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 1: and leave. Currently, we have to wait for the two

1005
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: to four hours, depending on the precinct, until our body

1006
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: is counted and final talies are in. I'm an introvert

1007
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: and antisocial, so being in a room with a bunch

1008
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: of people for hours gave me so much anxiety. The

1009
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: process is inconvenient for people with children, are those who

1010
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: have to work during the evening. It's nearly impossible for

1011
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: them to participate. The caucas system is outdated and mostly

1012
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: benefits white people. Luckily, my husband stay home with our

1013
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: six son so that I could caucus, but it would

1014
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: have been a second vote for one. Yeah, you know,

1015
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: it's so crazy that caucusing. I don't really understand. It

1016
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: is properly confusing. I've listened to it explained a few times.

1017
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: I think I kind of get it, but then when

1018
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: I went, it's like, once you understand it, then it

1019
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: becomes like why do y'all even do it? You know,

1020
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: as opposed to like, oh, I understand and I see

1021
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: what's valuable about this. It's like I understand it, and

1022
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 1: it scenes convoluted for no fucking reason.

1023
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 2: So then in a certain situations something happened, you know,

1024
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 2: just change and then if we got a tie, we

1025
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 2: flip a fucking coin, a goddamn coin. Right, I'm sorry,

1026
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 2: just frustrating. It's stupid.

1027
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: I will say. When I first got there, I was

1028
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: the only black person in the room. After looking around

1029
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,240
Speaker 1: for about half half an hour, I saw a handful

1030
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: of other black people, older black people come in, and

1031
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,399
Speaker 1: I got excited until they walked over the old man

1032
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: Joe's group. Well, wasn't a lot of them over there,

1033
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 1: it seems then you got fourteen percent of the vote,

1034
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: so you know, don't like, at least in Iowa, it

1035
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 1: doesn't like, you know, he was a threat. A couple

1036
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: of them staring at me like I had deflected or

1037
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 1: defected or something. I felt like Rod. I felt like

1038
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: Rod on Team Ta Tay. Yeah, it's lonely. It's lonely,

1039
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: but there's more of us growing every day. Anyway, Sorry

1040
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: for the long response, just thought I would share my experience.

1041
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: No need to apologize, Dia says, Happy Black History Month.

1042
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: The last two weeks have been exhausted. And I speak

1043
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 1: on Tyler Perry. I follow a white film critic from

1044
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 1: Canada on social media who basically said he does not

1045
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: like to review Tyler perry movies because he is not

1046
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: the intended audience. And any white critic or anyone else

1047
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: not part of Perry's audience who hangs their hat on

1048
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: saying how bad his movies are, it's just an asshole.

1049
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: And that is how I feel about most of his movies.

1050
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm not the intended audience, and I'm just being an assholes.

1051
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: I go around telling people who enjoy the films how

1052
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: bad they are. Yeah, I don't know, I promise you, man.

1053
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: And maybe it's just the way I'm thinking lately, but

1054
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: and hopefully I'll find a way to articulate this one day.

1055
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: But there's a weird type of respectability to the anti

1056
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: respectability shit too. There's a weird type of like it's

1057
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: not really freedom for everybody. It's really like you need

1058
00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: to be a certain type of nigga for us to

1059
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: fuck with you. And and I'm I don't think I

1060
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: fuck with it, you know what I mean? Likes there's

1061
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: a certain type of like we think this type of

1062
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: trope is old and played out, But then what about

1063
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: the people who experience is that? Do they not get

1064
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: to So no more movies for them, no more TV

1065
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: shows for them, nothing, They're not They're supposed to go

1066
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: through life with Joyler's existence or only get finding joy

1067
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: in the fucking woke ass shit you fuck with That's it,

1068
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: like it just it don't seem like real freedom. It's not,

1069
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's seeing kind of fake the way people

1070
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: are doing this. And I can't get down with that

1071
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: so anyway, But I will say that Tyler Perry is

1072
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: my baked beans. I don't like baked beans, but I

1073
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: have had them a few times and they were pretty good.

1074
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: So every time I see them at a function, I

1075
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: always get a small spoon to them because these may

1076
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 1: be the ones I liked before or not. I enjoyed

1077
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: the family that praise and it's out saw that one

1078
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: and mister Deed's and mister d d. I think that

1079
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,240
Speaker 1: isn't mister D's Adam Sandler movie.

1080
00:54:59,560 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1081
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: Maybe, Oh so, yeah, Adam Sailing is the White Tyler

1082
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: per the Jewish Tyler pairs. So I've watched Fall from Grace. Oh,

1083
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: good Deeds, I didn't see that one. Uh. So I

1084
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: watched Fall from Grace. Oh that was a good tank though,

1085
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: because the whole Adam Sandler deal duality. I like that.

1086
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: So I watched Fall from Grace because it took a

1087
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: lot of the boxes for me. I enjoy thrillers in

1088
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: courtroom dramas. I didn't like these baked beans, but I

1089
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: think I am polite about it. I didn't spit them out.

1090
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 1: I just shrugged it off. I still need to watch it.

1091
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: I still need to watch it. Plus, I had that

1092
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 1: thing in my brain where it's like, if something not good,

1093
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: I can laugh, and that's really all I need. I mean, acrimoni.

1094
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: I was like immediately like, oh, just say okay, well shit,

1095
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 1: if he ain't trying, let me get my jokes on.

1096
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 2: Oh. I had a ball watching that in a movie theater.

1097
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: But these last few years have been very rough for

1098
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: black filmmakers. Actors and black creators in general. And when

1099
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: I say creatives, I don't just mean people in arts

1100
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: and media. I've been If you have ever been in

1101
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: the elementary class, you know the teachers can be creators,

1102
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 1: and it's not always and it's not always the rough

1103
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: because of the lack of opportunity. I saw your Twitter

1104
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: post about people who catched their jealousy and enviness and

1105
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: wokeness and it really resonated with me. Mm hmm. To

1106
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 1: borrow from a conversation with an acquaintance, Twitter has largely

1107
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: become an arms race to see who can be the meanest,

1108
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 1: the most quotable. It's exhausting. Do any of you actually

1109
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: enjoy movies or anything anymore? Or has a dopamine rush

1110
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,760
Speaker 1: caused by the perfect insult become too much to resist?

1111
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:21,919
Speaker 1: Have a great upcoming week?

1112
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 2: I agree.

1113
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: I was reading the article by this comedian and it

1114
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: was so fucking good and maybe I'll save it for

1115
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: the show and we can read it in full. But

1116
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 1: it was really about how that she stopped commenting on

1117
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: Twitter comedy beefs and shit, and how it won. It

1118
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: helped her out mental health wise, but also it helped

1119
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: her realize the kind of the reverse psychology of Twitter,

1120
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: to where you think Twitter is helping you because you're

1121
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 1: getting likes and retweets, but one is hurting your mental

1122
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: health to getting all these people that are interacting with you,

1123
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: whether they be bribed, so they be people that want

1124
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 1: to harass you, even if they're people that want to

1125
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: give you big, big ups. It's just spreading your message, spading, spread,

1126
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 1: spreading and getting more and more interaction on brains aren't

1127
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: designed for all that. And then also it doesn't really

1128
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: reward nuance. And so when you say something like she

1129
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: at this example, like if you were to say, I

1130
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: don't like Beyonce's latest song, but I get how other

1131
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: people could like it because she's a talented artist and

1132
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: music opinions are subjective. Okay, that's one thing. How much

1133
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: interaction you think you're gonna get with that comment, But

1134
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: if you were to say Beyonce is trash, right.

1135
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 2: You don't get responsible.

1136
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: One of these is gonna get a lot more responses

1137
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: than the other and there's a fucking reason for it.

1138
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: And so this place rewards that type of of communication.

1139
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: So what do people gravitate towards Tyler Perry is trash?

1140
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't see how anyone could like this. If you

1141
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: don't fuck with this candidate, then then fuck you. You know,

1142
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: that type of thing is more prevalent on social media

1143
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: because of the interaction equation. Eve says that woman who

1144
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: got the vibrator stuck in her bladder is lining her

1145
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: ass off. There is no way she was using that

1146
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: toys directed. I looked up the toy in question and

1147
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: saw that even though it's a thin vibrator, it would

1148
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: take some It would take some trying to get up

1149
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: in the in the urethra. My theory for what happened

1150
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: is that she and her partner were trying this fetish

1151
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: called sounding. I've heard about this, usually done to the male,

1152
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: but I guess some women may like it too.

1153
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 2: Oh.

1154
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: Sounding is when you put something in the urethra.

1155
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 2: Oh oh, I hadn't been down that hole.

1156
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: Some people put like a little ride in the p hole.

1157
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, I've been down. I guess I didn't

1158
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 2: get to that level of my pornography.

1159
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: But what you do is stick along Well, I've never

1160
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: seen any port. I just know about your definition. But

1161
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: what you do is stick a long, thin metal ride

1162
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: up the urethra. The p hole if you will, and

1163
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: you basically move it in and out in motion, but

1164
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: not quite pulling it out. It's called sounding because when

1165
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: done properly, it makes a whistling sound. I only know

1166
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,959
Speaker 1: this because it was in a weird point. I once

1167
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: to watch and I found out that that was actually

1168
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: a thing when I when I looked it up. I

1169
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: hope that lady doesn't get a dime. Well, Karen thinks

1170
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: it was just, uh, we need instructions because you know

1171
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: people out here sticking things. They must not know.

1172
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 2: That's new information. I did not know nothing about no

1173
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 2: sounding or nothing like that. All this is Brent, And

1174
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 2: now I got new evidence. And when you get new evidence,

1175
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 2: I am more educated, so you can change your mind.

1176
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: So I yeah, I don't. Yeah, I understand them for saying,

1177
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 2: bitch what No?

1178
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: Well, I hope that, uh, you know, they get Karen

1179
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: on the jury so they can get the money. Will

1180
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: vibrators come, It'll be eleven to one, but krying go

1181
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: stick to this the guns. Should vibrators come with a

1182
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,479
Speaker 1: warning not to stick them into your p hole? Yes,

1183
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: I need to be warn No, I think that's understood already, Karen.

1184
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: I think that's unders Wow, so you changing your old opinions.

1185
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 2: I told you. New evidence has came to the table.

1186
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 2: I learned about sounding today, and apparently it is not

1187
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 2: from the from the person making the sounds. This is

1188
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 2: from the penis, so the vagina. I didn't notice, this

1189
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,959
Speaker 2: is the brain information. I got the right to change

1190
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 2: my opinion.

1191
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: You do have that right. I'm not even gonna mock

1192
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 1: you anymore. Yes, I need to be warned. Fourteen percent

1193
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: of y'all need to be warned. And see, this is

1194
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: what y'all get, because I know y'all were only saying

1195
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: that to support Karen, because y'all think she saw adorable

1196
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: and sweet and she smiles when she sings, and y'all

1197
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: came out here looking stupid because new evidence came alight.

1198
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: And Karen doesn't even fuck with y'all fourteen percent, no more. So,

1199
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: now who's the dummy?

1200
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 2: Not me?

1201
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: I was always on team No. I think that's understood already,

1202
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: because I know that you don't need the fucking warning

1203
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: to be like, don't put it in your po when

1204
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: it comes to a vibrator.

1205
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, they already And that's and that's the thing,

1206
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 2: because when it came to it. I was thinking like

1207
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 2: us standard vibrator right, Like, I didn't go look it

1208
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 2: up or anything like that, So I didn't.

1209
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: Know panduras is what they are. Karen, let you already

1210
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: on the other side of just don't try to go

1211
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: back and defend them.

1212
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 2: No, No, I speak for me personally, I didn't know.

1213
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Brooklyn shoe Ba says I voted no, but if

1214
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: someone has managed to do it, I suppose one should

1215
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: be given. Why'd you vote no? That insists? See this

1216
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: is what I'll try to head your bet so you

1217
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: can be on Karen's side too. No, this, unlike other things,

1218
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: is literally a black and white situation. Everybody should be

1219
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: on my side and support me. Okay, that's the only

1220
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: thing that matter. Even Karen is on my side. Now

1221
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: this topic, I suppose warning should be given, perhaps an

1222
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: instruction manual. I know their instruction. No sex toys, sex

1223
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: play videos, including things like ropes, hot wax, et cetera.

1224
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: But I never saw one fire to use a vibrator.

1225
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Star Wars two thousand says I voted yes because sex

1226
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: education with emphasis on pleasure a woman's body is still

1227
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: a mystery to most people. Ride you and Karen have discussed,

1228
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: are the goes to studies that have proven it to

1229
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: be a fact. No, you are gonna get grifted, Star

1230
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: bar not to mention the woman to see he was

1231
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: also the one that voted against my singing I'm sensing

1232
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: a patty. Not to mention. The woman in the story

1233
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 1: said her boyfriend was pleasuring her with the vibrator, so

1234
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: he probably did it imitated something he saw on the point. Oh,

1235
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: I know you were joking, but I don't think people

1236
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: should be shamed for not knowing. I think they knew.

1237
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: I don't believe the lies. Sense wake up, That's all

1238
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Wake up to the grift. This ain't nothing

1239
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: but oss Field piping hot coffee on me and McDonald's,

1240
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: Oh I need all the money. And then he found

1241
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: out this motherfucker and plotted this shit for months. Okay,

1242
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: don't read past the headlines, look past the obvious. These

1243
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: are two people grifting the sex toy industry, making all

1244
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:47,919
Speaker 1: of us pay more for our deal doughs. I don't

1245
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: think so I won't have it, not with.

1246
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 2: My tax dollars.

1247
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Mill says, I agree on Tyler Perry. People need

1248
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: to fall back years ago. I went to my local

1249
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 1: cinema to see one of his movies. It was someone's

1250
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: big Mama birthday. They proceeded to pass out cake and

1251
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: snacks to everyone prior to the movie. We all had

1252
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: a ball. One time, I took a white coworker to

1253
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: Boo Halloween to cheer him up, and he said it

1254
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: was exactly what he needed. There are plenty of independent

1255
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: films for the Wolkes to watch. I watched them as well,

1256
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: but I can enjoy a good slash bad movie at times.

1257
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: If Sailor can make money with his feels and Tyler

1258
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: can too, damn they want to watch it, complain, but

1259
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: yet not watch all the smaller black movies either. Man,

1260
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 1: don't even started on that part, but yeah, I do.

1261
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: There's something about the anti Tyler wave that just feels

1262
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: like niggas that don't hang out with niggas at all,

1263
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, I know I was

1264
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: making a running joke, but I really do. They do

1265
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: feel like coming to Thanksgiving and like, now, who is

1266
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: this some vegan options? It's like dog like.

1267
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 2: I told you, it's pork here. We don't need to

1268
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 2: steak eat for your ass?

01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: Come like well, now You're about to give us a

Speaker 1: whole dissertation on black health and diabetes and.

01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 2: Shit like you don't care at the time, they got

1272
01:03:58,680 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 2: too much sugar in it.

1273
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: We know, Oh it's not the time. Get you some

1274
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: glass of water and move on.

1275
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 2: Eat the cellaristicks and shut up.

1276
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: We don't want the lecture. We get it. It's not

1277
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: good for us.

1278
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 2: We get it. You gonna live to you one hundred

1279
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 2: and five and we gonna die next year. We get it. Okay,

1280
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 2: who invited you anyway?

1281
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:19,919
Speaker 1: Who want the hog malls? Okay, that's all we want

1282
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: to know. Do you want the chillings or not? That's

1283
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 1: the real question. Next episode was go to Church, Leave

1284
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: me Alone, and Sailor Agne says, this bickering against Nancy

1285
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: Pelosi from white liberals has been oddly cathartic. I feel

1286
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: the same way when those same folks were putting that

1287
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: case on for Joe Rogan. It's like what you said, Rod,

1288
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: It's like people want to smoke but don't want it

1289
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: at the same time. These people want leaders and they

1290
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: want the shit on them. When we literally have authoritarians

1291
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: on the end on the other end fucking up democracy,

1292
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: and I'm sick of it. Be it when it was

1293
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: drone strikes. Occupy Wall Street. Oh, y'all, I cannot wait

1294
01:04:56,320 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: to read this article about Occupy Wall Street. Okay, the

1295
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: motherfucker that started Occupy Wall Street a whole scammer. Oh

1296
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: that was white people's man they really like, they really

1297
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 1: like Turn and he's black too, I believe, or biracial,

1298
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: so like he really he's been accused of being a

1299
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 1: whole scammer out here. I was laughing when I read

1300
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: that article because I was like, iqipow Wall Street really

1301
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 1: is responsible for a lot of people's blueprint to what

1302
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: they think politics and protests are supposed to be. I'm like,

1303
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: this motherfucker is rich and scamming. This ain't this, I'll

1304
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: tell you. It's so many activists that wouldn't trade for

1305
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: my bank account straight up. I just don't even know

1306
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: what to say. I'm like, nigg, you're doing too good

1307
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: to be this man anyway, Iki pow wall Street, Bernie

1308
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 1: twenty ten to sixteen mid terms and presidents or elections, Defensive,

1309
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 1: Glenn Green, wild Slash, Julian Massage, wiki links, and so

1310
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: much more. I can't fuck with these people, And like Karen,

1311
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 1: I too have tapped out. I'll be voting for the

1312
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: nominee no matter what, however, put demagogaury, but the demagogery

1313
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: is too much a hell of short sighted for the

1314
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: million times. The sad part is, even if they do,

1315
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: quote unquote learn this very lesson from Bernie, I feel

1316
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 1: like they'll make another Messiah and then get burned out

1317
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: because white liberals and even liberals slash Dems as a group,

1318
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: get too comfy. People want hope and change and peace

1319
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: and love, yet don't want that, don't keep that same

1320
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: energy when it comes to others. Right. That was the

1321
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: thing I with Hassamon, not just comments that made it

1322
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 1: just felt so myopic, and it reminded me of why

1323
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: I think at this point it's just hard to argue

1324
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: against how social media has not changed us in a

1325
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: bad way. Not all of it's bad, but some of

1326
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 1: the shit has allowed for us to really be so

1327
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: focused on ourselves in a way that says, fuck everybody

1328
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: else and convince ourselves with the good guys for doing that.

1329
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 2: Yep, Like I'm so focused on me, I deserve a reward.

1330
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: You guys are the problem. And I think this idea

1331
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: of needing to feel great about your civic duty is

1332
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: one of those things you know, this idea that or

1333
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: that everyone before you got to feel great and now

1334
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 1: it's your turn, and it's like, that's not what happened.

1335
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: Nobody really felt great voting for presidents before this. Like

1336
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: the only president that really felt like people felt great

1337
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: voting for my lifetime was Obama, right, And that was

1338
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 1: only the first time, really, because then by twenty twelve,

1339
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: white people had given up on him. Black people had

1340
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: turned them into like, he's a coon because he don't

1341
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: just he's not a black activist.

1342
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 2: And him come in and swing dick and tell these

1343
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 2: black people what's he gonna do.

1344
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not a black activist in chief, so he

1345
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 1: so it's like, yeah, it's supposed to be a civic

1346
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: duty that you do. It's like paying taxes. It's like,

1347
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's like a bunch of shit that we

1348
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 1: do that. It's like, I'm doing this for the benefit

1349
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: of society because I feel like it's my job to

1350
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: push the ball for a little bit more. It's not.

1351
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 1: You know, honestly, I don't. I'm not surprised that the

1352
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: group that's most the most dis chanted are the people

1353
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: that fail for you know, Oh, Obama's gonna say what's

1354
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: all hope and change and the black like I like,

1355
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: And I don't mean it to disrespect them, but I

1356
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 1: do sometimes roll my eyes at them because I'm like, well,

1357
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 1: if you wouldn't have been so fucking like caught up

1358
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: in this code of personality with Obama, then you wouldn't

1359
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: be so let down.

1360
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 2: And a lot of.

1361
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: Us made sober choices to vote for him. We weren't

1362
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: caught up in the height. We were happy for him.

1363
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: We were happy about the landmark, don't get me wrong.

1364
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: But none of us is like I don't care what

1365
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: his policies is. I we'll figure it out later. Like no,

1366
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: we was like, this is his policies also happened to

1367
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: be better. That was what we voted for, and when

1368
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: he delivered on the things he promised, we were like,

1369
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: that's reasonable. When we looked at the opposition he faced

1370
01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: and we were like, this opposition is literally unprecedented, and

1371
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: he's still getting things done. I'm with it. When we

1372
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 1: soberly looked at like, okay, we will love single payer,

1373
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: but when you have blue dog Democrats who will absolutely

1374
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: not vote for that, he doesn't have the votes he

1375
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: will have to change president, lower the amount of votes

1376
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: he could get in Senate, or he would have to

1377
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: do executive order. We're not stupid, we followed that. So

1378
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: our reaction to these emotional outbursts of just like, well,

1379
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 1: I just wanted this, and that's all I care about

1380
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 1: is when we come back and we're sober rational people like, well,

1381
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: this is why that didn't happen, and I understand it,

1382
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,719
Speaker 1: and this is why I feel like we're the adults

1383
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:44,879
Speaker 1: in the room now and it's become this weird reverse

1384
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:50,480
Speaker 1: reality where they're still kind of being these throwing tantrums.

1385
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: They're still doing the like, well then Bernie will do it,

1386
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: you know. It's like my point is nobody can just

1387
01:09:56,960 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: come in the rough shot change the entire government forward.

1388
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: It's easier to do it backwards than forward. And why

1389
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: would you ever yield to let someone do it backwards

1390
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: because we know the next president will be lucky to

1391
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 1: get shipped back to where Obama had it if it's

1392
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:17,639
Speaker 1: not Trump. So I don't know, like, I just don't

1393
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: think these people are living in the reality. And I

1394
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: think that's one of the things, like I said with

1395
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 1: Asimonajen social media, and like how much of it has

1396
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: become like we create our own reality. That's one of

1397
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: the bad things about it is because oh the people

1398
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,480
Speaker 1: that don't be on social media like that Stacey Abrams

1399
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: and we'll be goldver. We're both like, dog, that's not

1400
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,600
Speaker 1: realistic or good. What you said is the pathway that

1401
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: more destruction, not nothing positive will come from that anyway. Yeah,

1402
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: don't keep that saving because I've plaed Pelosi ripped that

1403
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 1: shit at that State of the Union. She's fed up

1404
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:58,600
Speaker 1: and I fed up with her. These fuckers on the

1405
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: left should be as well. What I guess, good in

1406
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 1: the viral hit on social media is more important to

1407
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: stop it. Evil shit is tiring, y'all. Yeah, I feel you, man.

1408
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, I didn't even like go up for that,

1409
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 1: like her ripping the speech, because I didn't watch the

1410
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 1: fucking thing. But when I saw it, I was like, yeah,

1411
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: because she's fighting him with she's fighting him in the

1412
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: place he likes to fight optics, in the place that

1413
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 1: he can't ignore up into his own speech and all

1414
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: the lives and shit, you know, And and the fact

1415
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 1: that people were more mad at her than a nigga

1416
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:31,839
Speaker 1: that stood up there for an hour and a half.

1417
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,839
Speaker 1: Lyon is that current president of the fucking United States

1418
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: was weird to me? Right, But you say, but if

1419
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 1: you say that, you're caping for the establishment and all

1420
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:46,759

Speaker 3: It's like, I'm not a criminal, Okay. So I work

1459
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 3: at this corporation and there's actually, at the time, I

1460
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 3: didn't know there were two notaries here. I just thought

1461
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 3: that they were one. So my mother used to be

1462
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 3: a the CFOE and so she retired, and then there

1463
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 3: are some PaperWorks that she needs to sign, and then

1464
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 3: you're supposed to get it notarized. But of course I

1465
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 3: didn't want to cap oficate mailing things back and work

1466
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,599
Speaker 3: between her. So I was just like, oh, hey, can

1467
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:24,680
Speaker 3: you notarize this so I can just send it to

1468
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 3: her and then she can, you know, file it or

1469
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 3: whatever send it in where she's supposed to send it

1470
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 3: in too. And they were like, oh no, I don't

1471
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:36,600
Speaker 3: think so you know, it doesn't look right if I

1472
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 3: do that. And I'm like, she literally used to be

1473
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 3: your boss. Are you seriously now, I'm like okay, And

1474
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 3: so then I was all frustrated. And then the other

1475
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 3: woman who's the notary is a long time family friend

1476
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 3: and who's worked for the country a long time. I

1477
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 3: didn't know she was a notary. She's like she saw

1478
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 3: me looking all at frustrated. She's like, what's going on.

1479
01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 3: I was like, well, I went to old girl and

1480
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 3: asked a good resist and she said she couldn't do

1481
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 3: it because it was you signed. And she's like, girl,

Speaker 1: two minutes voicemails to say hey, what's going on. You know,

1520
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate you liking all my post and all of that,

1521
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: So thank you, bud. Okay, don't hesitate the call back.

1522
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: All right, So we did all that stuff. The only

1523
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: thing left I believe is email. Because let's see, we

1524
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:16,200
Speaker 1: did voicemails and comments, we did five star reviews, made

1525
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 1: fun of the one star review all I feel like, yeah,

1526
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 1: so let me check the old email machine over here.

1527
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: Oh great, it's taking this fine loading. Well, let's just

1528
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 1: go to the website. I'm in to my phone and

1529
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:32,760
Speaker 1: look at the emails there. Podcast emails, all right, so

1530
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 1: we did get a few this last week, Crystal. Oh wait,

1531
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 1: we already did this one about Uncle Tom history. Let's

1532
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 1: go to the next one. All right, this one, let's

1533
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 1: see what was our last time? We did one? Twenty eight?

1534
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, this one is probably well not

1535
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 1: Justin's not here. Maybe it's better for the balls deep

1536
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, because it's about Kobe. All right, let's

1537
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: go to the next one. Ms. Martinkin says, hey, dear

1538
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: Karen and Rod, binging and catching up on some old

1539
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 1: feedback of episodes. I'm voting against your best interest. Now.

1540
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm a college graduated graduate. I didn't major in finance,

1541
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 1: so I'm losing in that area. When you were talking

1542
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:21,639
Speaker 1: about canceling college that it hit me. My dumb ass

1543
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,719
Speaker 1: worked through college, but to pay for things like food

1544
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: to fix my Jilope my car, I ended up with

1545
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: a credit card debt during college. I wish I was

1546
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: smart enough to get a larger student loans so I

1547
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 1: could get in on that burning free student loan party. Ah,

1548
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 1: this does not help anyone else who didn't go to college.

1549
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 1: As you stated, I did have some loans, but I

1550
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,599
Speaker 1: paid them off. That doesn't mean I don't want those

1551
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:49,479
Speaker 1: who did get loans and are struggling to get rid

1552
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: of that. Also, I want to hire minimum way, so

1553
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily vote in my personal best interest. I

1554
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 1: have no kids, but I still vote in ways where

1555
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 1: taxes would go up, but I will help out the

1556
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: future generations. I know I'm not in the majority as

1557
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: a middle class person with no kids. I vote for

1558
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: those who are less fortunate than me because I don't

1559
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: see many options just for me. And I wouldn't do

1560
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 1: that because I'm blessed. Why would I want to hamper others? Anyway.

1561
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: I say all that to say that I agreed that

1562
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: most people do vote in their interests except when the

1563
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 1: sisms are at play. Shit. Even then, if you think

1564
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 1: it's in your interest, then the sisms is working for you.

1565
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,679
Speaker 1: I love the way Karen sounds so joyous when singing.

1566
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: She cannot be out joyed on singing that, and Rod

1567
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: is not is not to be out ad libs. Careen

1568
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: sounds full of joy, glee and bright shunshiny happiness, and

1569
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: Rod sounds full of excitement for reading. And you can

1570
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:48,679
Speaker 1: actually hear the thirst for knowledge in his vocal trills.

1571
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:53,639
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, doesn't kindwall of saying, Karen's a better, smart,

1572
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: better nicer singing than me. Sorry, sorry for your out loss,

1573
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:00,799
Speaker 1: Sorry for your lost Careen. And it's like a beautiful

1574
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,719
Speaker 1: service and a nice reunion for your family.

1575
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 2: He was.

1576
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: John writes in the Rise of Bernie, Dear Rod, you

1577
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,760
Speaker 1: are absolutely right about the worst Bernie supporters, and the

1578
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:14,719
Speaker 1: only principle that they believe in is whether it's whatever's

1579
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: best for Bernie. I deal with them and organize, and

1580
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 1: they are a real headache. I've been thinking about the

1581
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 1: Rise of Bernie. I have two things that I'll be

1582
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 1: curious here, he takes on sure. The first is that

1583
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 1: I think one reason Bernie appeals to so many white

1584
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 1: progressors because he basically embodies their own fantasy image of themselves.

1585
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 1: They dream that if only people would get behind me,

1586
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,879
Speaker 1: I can solve everything because I have all the answers,

1587
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: and even better, I don't ever have to admit my flaws,

1588
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,679
Speaker 1: listen to other voices, or even try to make nice

1589
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: with other groups. It's sort of the impossible white man fantasy,

1590
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 1: which allows to ignore the ugly reflections of how hard

1591
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: it is to pass broad structural change to our system. Yeah. Sure,

1592
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's part of it. I think

1593
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 1: also white progresses appeal to Bernie, but he appeals to

1594
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: them because that's the only people he really is trying

1595
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: to govern. For his messages to white people who are dissatisfied,

1596
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: and there happen to be other people who think, for

1597
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: political expediency it would be best to attach their boat

1598
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: to his, because they, you know, they're like, well, if

1599
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: he can get some of this stuff done, it doesn't

1600
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: really matter what he thinks about race or what his

1601
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 1: connections to our community is. If he can get some

1602
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,719
Speaker 1: of these things done, then maybe we can still benefit

1603
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: from them. And I'm not necessarily against those people. I

1604
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: just wish they stopped being so full of shit about it.

1605
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,720
Speaker 1: I just wish they'd be honest and be like, I

1606
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,800
Speaker 1: don't really fuck with this dude like that either. But

1607
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 1: I think he I think his policies are better. I

1608
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 1: think that's a reasonable point of view. I think once

1609
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 1: you get to this point where if you wanna, if

1610
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna support him, then you have to support If

1611
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,720
Speaker 1: he fucking farts in someone's face, you gotta support it,

1612
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of crazy, and I'm in a

1613
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: way it just reminds me the populism that elected Trump.

1614
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: They feel like the liberal version of Trump, even from

1615
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 1: the coming outside of the party thing, even through the

1616
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:15,400
Speaker 1: not concerned about anyone else coming up in the party

1617
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: unless they totally dedicate themselves to him. I don't think

1618
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 1: that's good. I think ultimately we will be harmed by that.

1619
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,760
Speaker 1: And I don't think these movements that people think are

1620
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: gonna be created are gonna happen. And what's gonna end

1621
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: up happening is if he wins everything, he doesn't get

1622
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 1: past because he didn't build any bridges, he didn't build

1623
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 1: any community with certain people and certain politicians. This just

1624
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 1: gonna turn into everyone going, why won't they just do

1625
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 1: what Bernie is and the Democrats are the real problem,

1626
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 1: and it's gonna go right back to Republicans. That's my guess. Yes, sir,

1627
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong, but I mean showing me where

1628
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: this dude really builds community with anybody people the most.

1629
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 1: The reason most people were mad at Hillary Clinton was

1630
01:22:58,720 --> 01:22:59,679
Speaker 1: because the shit was true.

1631
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 2: Come on.

1632
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:02,760
Speaker 1: That's why they were like, don't insert yourself into this

1633
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 1: because they couldn't really argue that it wasn't true. They

1634
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:06,639
Speaker 1: could only argue that they didn't want her to.

1635
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:08,920
Speaker 2: Bring it up right right.

1636
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,600
Speaker 1: Secondly, while it's conventionalism at this point to note that

1637
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:14,439
Speaker 1: the rise of Trump was a white wives response to

1638
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: Obama's presidency, I'm starting to feel like Bernie was too.

1639
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: Starting twenty sixteen. Who he was? So many white Bernie

1640
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 1: fans show open content for Obama wanted to primary him.

1641
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:28,599
Speaker 1: Use identity politics as a pejorative. Yeah, I heard black

1642
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: Bernie supporters say identity politics as a pejorative, and I

1643
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: honestly like my mind exploded. I was just like, black

1644
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: people can do that. What are you talking about. We're black,

1645
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 1: We're supposed to understand there's no such thing as identity politics.

1646
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 2: Because you use that where they don't want to talk

1647
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 2: about the shit did affects you?

1648
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you don't want to talk about the truth,

1649
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 1: this wasn't they use it because you're black? You know

1650
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: what people mean. So when someone goes listen as a

1651
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 1: black woman, blah blad, you go, we don't need your

1652
01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: identity politics, I'm like, what do you do? Crazy to me? Really?

1653
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 1: But they love that man that much. So yeah, it's

1654
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,719
Speaker 1: like a weird badge of honored for them to bash

1655
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 1: Obama or tell how much they didn't like him. Whenever

1656
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: his name comes up. It is And I think that

1657
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:20,679
Speaker 1: is a huge reaction in part to the fact that

1658
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: he was black. And I will never be not convinced

1659
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 1: of that. I even had one whisper to me, I

1660
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: was never a fan myself when Obama was mentioned at

1661
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 1: an event co sponsored by Way for our local NAACP. Yeah,

1662
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 1: they can't help themselves. I could do. All I could

1663
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:38,799
Speaker 1: do is roll my eyes almost out of my skull.

1664
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 1: They want so bad for Bernie to be another Obama,

1665
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: and I think it kills him that he isn't and

1666
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 1: likely never will be. I agree, they really think he

1667
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: wants He's this charismatic dude, and it's just not resonating

1668
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:52,559
Speaker 1: with everybody, and they don't really have the numbers to

1669
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 1: back up some of the shit they be talking. So anyway,

1670
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes through the South PS. I

1671
01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 1: want to offer my deepest belated condolences to the main

1672
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 1: host Care for your loss.

1673
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1674
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 1: I lost my mom in twenty twelve and it was

1675
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 1: so hard, even though we didn't have the best relationship. Anyways,

1676
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 1: I wish you all the best in navigating the difficult

1677
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 1: grieving process. Sorry for such a rambling email, chairs John,

1678
01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, John. My girl, Katanya says Blacks

1679
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 1: for Taylor Swift, I'm number six.

1680
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 2: Ay a whole sixty hours.

1681
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: Let's shake it off together, girl. I hope you had

1682
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 1: a great weekend. As always, thank you for the amazing

1683
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: podcast this week. Roder just wanted to stop by and

1684
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:32,639
Speaker 1: let you know you are not alone in your fanom

1685
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 1: of t I've been a fan of her since her

1686
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:37,759
Speaker 1: first song tail Drops on my guitar. It totally speaks

1687
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 1: to the space that I found myself in with God,

1688
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:42,639
Speaker 1: friends and my teens and twenties. I wanted to be

1689
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: number five on the list. However, since I was not

1690
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 1: watching live the live cast. I couldn't claim the spot.

1691
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: He he yes, I know she could be problematic. However,

1692
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 1: she is human, she is learning and changing, and I

1693
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:55,799
Speaker 1: think she catches flag from some white women and people

1694
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,720
Speaker 1: of color for her confidence in different ways. Yeah, I

1695
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:02,640
Speaker 1: just never understood. And I remember we had a whole episodehere,

1696
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: we really went through it, and I was reading about

1697
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 1: some of these things that people were like, this is

1698
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 1: the thing that made me say she's terrible, and I

1699
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 1: was like, these are not bad things. M M, like

1700
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it again, but just in general,

1701
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 1: I'm just like, y'all are really tripping. And this is,

1702
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 1: like I said, this is where it really cautions me

1703
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 1: off of social media and off of these groups and

1704
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 1: off of these people, you know, because some of these people,

1705
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, they might even be our fans. And I

1706
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:32,800
Speaker 1: have to be careful to be like, I don't want

1707
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 1: to be too close to you, because I'm one thing

1708
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:37,680
Speaker 1: away from you thinking this shit is cool to do

1709
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 1: to me.

1710
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,840
Speaker 2: You know, people don't think when they say things down

1711
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:44,959
Speaker 2: and open that people aren't picking up on the context

1712
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 2: clues of what you're saying. And I'll go, oh, this

1713
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 2: anger and this vistoral reaction can be directed towards me.

1714
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 1: Basically, if there's enough group things, then it's right.

1715
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 2: Correct, and I don't.

1716
01:26:57,439 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't like that shit, you know what I mean.

1717
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I like everybody, I love every I don't.

1718
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm not trying to base

1719
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 1: all this shit off of Oh, so we so we

1720
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 1: roasting so and so. Okay, well then I'm gonna let

1721
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 1: me go ahead and add to this when I'm like,

1722
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't actually feel this way, you know so. And

1723
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,759
Speaker 1: it's not always jokes and shit. So I've had people

1724
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 1: like literally no joke. I've had people that their hatred

1725
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 1: for a celebrity or specific person was so bad I

1726
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 1: just stopped fucking with them, right because they couldn't see

1727
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 1: it themselves because they're so deep into it. But like,

1728
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: it's warped everything you think about. You see this person's name,

1729
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 1: and it could be like so and So's mom died,

1730
01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be somewhere on Facebook or Twitter talking

1731
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: shit about them. That's not and maybe it's healthy or

1732
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: okay for you, it's not for me, and I don't

1733
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:51,639
Speaker 1: want you around me. I don't like that energy because

1734
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 1: something something when you can lose your empathy. This is

1735
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:59,679
Speaker 1: the shit that like this thing with Gail King, right,

1736
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: the reason I didn't say shit when she asked that

1737
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: question of Lisa Leslie. And we'll probably talk about it

1738
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: either on Balls Deep or on the regular show. But

1739
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 1: I didn't really have a problem with her asking that

1740
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:13,680
Speaker 1: question because it's kind of her brand. I saw the

1741
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,640
Speaker 1: whole interview, the five or six minutes of it all.

1742
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 1: We talked about it on Boss Deep already. Yeah, I

1743
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 1: don't even have to talk about it. Go premium if

1744
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 1: you don't. Oh no, already. But we talked about it,

1745
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 1: and I was like, within the context of the interview,

1746
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:30,720
Speaker 1: which aired days ago, no one had a problem with it.

1747
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: Take a clip out, put it on Twitter where context

1748
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 1: goes to die. Everybody want her everybody wants her head. Okay, cool, cool, cool.

1749
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 1: You didn't like it, you felt it, you felt it

1750
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 1: was inappropriate. Now I didn't in the context of four

1751
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 1: minutes of them talking about how great this man was

1752
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: for women's sports and one minute of them having to

1753
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:51,960
Speaker 1: be like, but we do have to bring up this

1754
01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 1: other part because it would be extremely irresponsible and I

1755
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: would get dragged to smithereens if I didn't if I

1756
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: lionized this man in his contribution to women's sports and

1757
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 1: then turned around and said, what sexual assault? I forgot

1758
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:06,439
Speaker 1: about it. You're gonna either way, she was gonna get roasty.

1759
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 1: But people felt it was in poor taste when they

1760
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 1: saw that clip on social media. Totally fine, I get it.

1761
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:14,759
Speaker 1: You don't have to like it. You know, shit people

1762
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 1: people might have felt the r. Kelly interview was in

1763
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 1: poor taste. People might feel, you know, some of the

1764
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 1: other things she did was fine. I don't find the

1765
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 1: thing that was interesting was once the turn started and

1766
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:30,120
Speaker 1: you got the Free Cosby delegation coming in talking about

1767
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 1: her and Oprah Winfrey hate black men and they don't

1768
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 1: keep the same energy with white sexual abusers and Free

1769
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 1: Cosby and you know, Free r Kelly and calling her

1770
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 1: a bitch and threatening her. That's Snoop Dogg y'all's favorite

1771
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:50,880
Speaker 1: gospel album of the year telling you that shit. So

1772
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 1: when this when these motherfuckers come out of the woodworks,

1773
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 1: and now you got the goddamn hotel black women haters

1774
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:00,360
Speaker 1: well along with the folks who just loved Obie, but

1775
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:02,519
Speaker 1: they trying to make an exception for Kobe in a

1776
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 1: way they never do for anyone else's legacy because they

1777
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 1: happen to like that. Man, now you got all this

1778
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:11,439
Speaker 1: fucking like perfect storm of hatred and they single out

1779
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 1: of target in Gail King. And I saw someone say

1780
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 1: something and I'm not even sure they meant it in

1781
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 1: a mean way, but I did see someone say something

1782
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 1: to the effect of life. Y'all really think this is

1783
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:24,800
Speaker 1: bothering Gail King? Blahlah blah. But Oprah was went on

1784
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:29,360
Speaker 1: TV and was fucking in tears like Gail is. Gail

1785
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 1: is very sad. She doesn't feel safe right now. She

1786
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,639
Speaker 1: had to hire security. She's just trying to stay off

1787
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: the internet, stay away, blah blah blah. Right, And I'm

1788
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:40,160
Speaker 1: sitting there looking at that shit, and I was thinking

1789
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 1: to myself, people don't want me to think Gail King

1790
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 1: has feelings because she's rich and they're mad at her.

1791
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 1: Correct And you know who else does that. It's textbook narcissism.

1792
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 1: Narcissists tell you that the person they're harassing either doesn't

1793
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:03,720
Speaker 1: have feeling or they deserve to be tormented. And what

1794
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 1: flying monkeys do AKA the rest of the fucking Internet

1795
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:09,240
Speaker 1: that hopped on this shit is that they pile on

1796
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:11,000
Speaker 1: and they go, I agree with you. I have no

1797
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 1: empathy for this person. So you have to believe Gail

1798
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 1: King has no feelings. You have to believe she's completely

1799
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: evil and vow and everything she does is a plot

1800
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 1: against you. And that's why the fuck she needs to

1801
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 1: be destroyed and taken down. And it doesn't matter if

1802
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 1: she fucking needs security or gets suicidal or sad, none

1803
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 1: of it fucking matters, because at the end of the day,

1804
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 1: the only thing that matters is how you feel, and

1805
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: the narcissists feel and the feeling that y'all get from

1806
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 1: combining and pushing down on this person. And in this case,

1807
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:45,160
Speaker 1: which is one of the things I'm avoiding really talking

1808
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 1: to people because it's just not a healthy environment. But

1809
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 1: in this case, we have now turned weaponized privilege into

1810
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:57,040
Speaker 1: we can now harass you, and I don't think that's good.

1811
01:31:57,840 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: So it's like, well, if I can find the place

1812
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 1: but this person is privileged, then I can then bully, harassed, threaten.

1813
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:07,639
Speaker 1: I can do whatever I want to this person as

1814
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 1: long as I can convince people that this person is

1815
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 1: quote unquote above me on the hierarchy. So she's rich, Okay, cool, cool, cool.

1816
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 1: Now I can say extremely mean, fucked up shit about them.

1817
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:20,880
Speaker 1: What did that woman say when they talked about Blue

1818
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 1: Ivy looking like her daddy and all the shit. The

1819
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:25,439
Speaker 1: first thing that white woman brought up was the same

1820
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 1: thing most of these woke niggas bring up when they

1821
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,040
Speaker 1: got something bad to say about the Carters. They're rich,

1822
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 1: so I can talk about how their daughter looks because

1823
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 1: they're rich. But Beyonce, we don't know that Beyonce got

1824
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 1: any type of surgery on her face and anything. And

1825
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 1: she's like, well, you know the celebrity daughters, they always

1826
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 1: get surgery on their face. Look at the Kardashians, and

1827
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:46,719
Speaker 1: you know what she brought the Kardashians Why because y'all

1828
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: talk about them badly and it's okay you can say

1829
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 1: anything mean about them because we're convinced they're not real people.

1830
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,559
Speaker 1: They don't have feelings. Nothing they do can be right.

1831
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:58,400
Speaker 1: If somebody dies in their failure, there's a tragedy, we

1832
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:02,599
Speaker 1: turn it into like an attack us somehow, Like it's

1833
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 1: become so dehumanizing in that environment, sir, that I reject

1834
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 1: the entire fucking environment and I don't want to participate

1835
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 1: in it. So and I recognize it can easily be

1836
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 1: any of us, right easily, you know. So that's the

1837
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:20,760
Speaker 1: thing that that that it made me kept coming back to,

1838
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:24,120
Speaker 1: And that's what I think happened with Taylor Swift. It's

1839
01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:26,800
Speaker 1: just so out of control now that even when she

1840
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:30,000
Speaker 1: finally gives you a glimpse of behind the scenes, which

1841
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't know one of our faves did. You may

1842
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 1: know her name is Beyonce, Mirror Beyonce. Don't tell us

1843
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 1: shit unless it's sold. Hey, you want to know what

1844
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 1: I think about this thing, check out my HBO documentary, you.

1845
01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 2: Know how, check out my next Flix documentary. Right.

1846
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:48,559
Speaker 1: You want to know how it feels to be me,

1847
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:52,519
Speaker 1: check out Homecoming? Right. And so Taylor Swift essentially did

1848
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 1: the same thing, and we're sitting up here being like, no,

1849
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 1: that has to be fake. Her feelings can't be real. No,

1850
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 1: she couldn't have really cried. I mean, she's still up

1851
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:02,599
Speaker 1: to a father. But what she really should have did

1852
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:05,280
Speaker 1: is just because we can't let her be human too.

1853
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 1: We can't let this twenty nine year old I guess

1854
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:09,479
Speaker 1: probably thirty now. We can't let her go through the

1855
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:12,360
Speaker 1: same process we allowed for other people in our group

1856
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:15,320
Speaker 1: because we have empathy and sympathy for our own group.

1857
01:34:15,479 --> 01:34:17,680
Speaker 1: But you know what that empathy and sympathy really is.

1858
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:21,600
Speaker 1: It's our own miiopic narcissism. It's us extending ourselves to

1859
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 1: other people. It's not really true empathy. It's us being like, well,

1860
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:29,160
Speaker 1: i'm a black woman, so this black woman, I'm gonna

1861
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 1: identify with her and defend But if that person was

1862
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 1: a black man, I'm not gonna defend him. If that

1863
01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 1: person was a white person, I'm not gonna defend him.

1864
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 1: The situation could be just as fucked up, just as wrong,

1865
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 1: But in that case, I'm gonna pull my empathy back.

1866
01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:47,839
Speaker 1: I understand why people do that, right, the protective impost,

1867
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 1: the idea that people you know, or that these people

1868
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:52,360
Speaker 1: might not extend it back to me. I get that,

1869
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 1: but I don't want to participate in that because I

1870
01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 1: feel like that's not true to my own values. If

1871
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 1: I see something fucked up, I'm gonna like that's fucked up,

1872
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 1: no matter what's happening to agreed, you know what I mean.

1873
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 1: And if I can't say that, then I'm gonna let

1874
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:07,800
Speaker 1: you know that too. I'm gonna be like, dog, I

1875
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 1: know it's fucked right, Rush Limball got the cancer. Bruh.

1876
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:12,920
Speaker 1: I really ain't got nothing for him, you know what

1877
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. At least be honest about it rather than

1878
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 1: couching it in some woke ass Olympics. Why it's okay

1879
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 1: this time, but when it's somebody else later on, it's

1880
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:23,879
Speaker 1: not okay. Like no, let's just be real anyway.

1881
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:25,639
Speaker 2: Uh.

1882
01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:27,840
Speaker 1: For some people of cold, I think Taylor's confidence and

1883
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:30,759
Speaker 1: advocated for herself, for example when she was just starting

1884
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 1: out and her mom drove her to various record companies.

1885
01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 1: The same for the receptionists to get a meeting with

1886
01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:37,640
Speaker 1: an executive and her missteps and then inserting herself in

1887
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:39,559
Speaker 1: the moments, or she does a Malone iu. When Nicki

1888
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:42,000
Speaker 1: Minaj went on a twinter rat about the VMAs and

1889
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: how it didn't recognize women of color, man has that?

1890
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:46,599
Speaker 1: Has that not come back?

1891
01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:46,800
Speaker 2: There?

1892
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 1: I remember being like Nikki, yes girl, and then now like,

1893
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:55,080
Speaker 1: oh Nikki, you know men, when we love Nikki y'all

1894
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:57,840
Speaker 1: for a little bit, everybody was she had just got

1895
01:35:57,840 --> 01:36:01,360
Speaker 1: the black girl hair, stopped dressing like an anime character,

1896
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:07,760
Speaker 1: start rapping. Man, I miss that that time. Now now

1897
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:09,439
Speaker 1: it's like I'll be trying to go back. But then

1898
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:11,600
Speaker 1: like every other week, she have a tweet that be like,

1899
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,719
Speaker 1: and it's okay to rape little children if it's your brother.

1900
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:15,639
Speaker 2: Fuck y'all.

1901
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:20,479
Speaker 1: Anyway, roll as a park like no, oh god, anyway,

1902
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 1: I missed that, NIGGI. But yeah, I agree. I agree

1903
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:27,160
Speaker 1: with NIGGI that it wasn't It wasn't Taylor's place to talk.

1904
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:29,640
Speaker 1: And just like most white people, she gets good to

1905
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 1: shut the fuck up. It strikes them as white privilege

1906
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:34,400
Speaker 1: and they just dismiss her because they think she can't

1907
01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:38,559
Speaker 1: overcome that, so they just dismiss her and her music hotel. Yeah,

1908
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:41,920
Speaker 1: and I know she did apologize, but nobody accepts apologies

1909
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 1: on internetize. Yeah, but I get it. No, Like it's

1910
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,120
Speaker 1: the Internet that's not really a place for her accepting

1911
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:51,519
Speaker 1: apologies a correct place for keeping grievances. Since Taylor's come out,

1912
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:54,439
Speaker 1: I think she's grown and changed and she's learned more information.

1913
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:56,519
Speaker 1: I think that people just don't have the patience with

1914
01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:58,799
Speaker 1: her and allow her to space to grow and present

1915
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:02,720
Speaker 1: her views what she he's ready ie her political views. Anyways,

1916
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:04,640
Speaker 1: just want to let you know that you're not the

1917
01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:06,120
Speaker 1: only black person out there it was a fan of

1918
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 1: tay Ta. Have a great rest of your weekend. Love

1919
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 1: you best, Kaitanya aka the Thick Ballerina, thank you, thank you.

1920
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:16,559
Speaker 1: And lastly, I think this is the last one Beth

1921
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,400
Speaker 1: says anything for Bernie. Dear Roddy Karen. I hope this

1922
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 1: doesn't reach you too late. I missed the blackout took

1923
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:23,200
Speaker 1: this week, and I had assumed that Kobe's passing that

1924
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:27,040
Speaker 1: affected you both deeply. I even thought to myself, so dignified,

1925
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 1: But you, clever Claus, just waiting for the hot takes

1926
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:33,400
Speaker 1: to die down. How dignified? I thought the Super Bowl

1927
01:37:33,439 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 1: half time show was spectaclear. I grew up listening to

1928
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 1: both Jaylo and Shakira, and they did not disappoint the

1929
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:40,479
Speaker 1: ton of things. Shakira did exist in some variation in

1930
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 1: most indigenous cultures in North and East Africa. It is

1931
01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:48,840
Speaker 1: called auhlation. I hope I said that right eululation in

1932
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:52,720
Speaker 1: Arabic culture is called a zach grolta. You are not

1933
01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:55,600
Speaker 1: supposed to stick your tongue out. I believe Shaku, my

1934
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:58,479
Speaker 1: nickname for Shakira, did it to be playful and provocative

1935
01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:03,000
Speaker 1: and for the sake of showmanship. Anyway, I could talk

1936
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 1: about the show endlessly. It feel me with so much life.

1937
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 1: Wishing you both the best, all my love, betht ps.

1938
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:09,840
Speaker 1: I was fun to your Walking Dare response, but I

1939
01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 1: think it might have gotten lost in the flurial activity.

1940
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what walking their response. I don't remember PPS.

1941
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:21,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of love. I was last week years old when

1942
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 1: I learned that learned your I Love you at the

1943
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:25,640
Speaker 1: end of each episode was to each other and not

1944
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:29,840
Speaker 1: the audience. Yeah, I don't know, y'all niggas. All right, y'all,

1945
01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 1: Oh man, you gotta know somebody to love them. You know,

1946
01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:39,000
Speaker 1: no offense, but you know, I don't like to just

1947
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:43,080
Speaker 1: say that, you know, without meaning it or without knowing

1948
01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:47,360
Speaker 1: the person. So all right, y'all until next time. Before

1949
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 1: we go, parent would like to say something. I know

1950
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 1: we got a few more minutes.

1951
01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:52,640
Speaker 2: I know we talked about the library thing, but we

1952
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,839
Speaker 2: actually had a ball at the library, and I would

1953
01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:59,639
Speaker 2: encourage everybody to use the resources at your local library.

1954
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:01,840
Speaker 2: Go find find out what they're doing. And also for

1955
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:05,400
Speaker 2: those of you don't know, you can also get digital

1956
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 2: library cards. So for those of you that actually don't

1957
01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 2: want to physically go to the library. You can actually

1958
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 2: log onto whatever your local library site is in your

1959
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:17,320
Speaker 2: county or state or whatever and actually get virtual library cards.

1960
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:19,840
Speaker 2: Now you don't have to do physical books. They actually

1961
01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:22,519
Speaker 2: do e books and they also actually do audio books,

1962
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:25,600
Speaker 2: just so y'all know too. So I'm very thankful, and

1963
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:28,599
Speaker 2: I'm very grateful, and I can't thank Alicia enough. And

1964
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:32,040
