00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Hey, guys, Princess here, I'm welcome to another episode of

2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.359
<v Speaker 1>by Pumpkin Wrap Up Edition. So I don't know how

3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>these wrap ups have been going. I don't get a

4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of feedback. I like, I don't get a lot

5
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:20.879
<v Speaker 1>of like direct feedback. I see that you guys are

6
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>listening to it. I did have somebody reach out once

7
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to ask me if I was gonna do one this week,

8
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>So I am assuming you guys like this. I don't know.

9
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I like it. I think it. I

10
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 1>think yeah. It lets me get out a lot of

11
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>just talk I want to do every week, just you know.

12
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.119
<v Speaker 1>And it's it's free form, so I get to like

13
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 1>choose what I want to talk about. I'm not like

14
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>really containing into a box. For the most part, I

15
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>think it makes my other episode shorter because I don't

16
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>have as many tangents to talk about me. I got

17
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 1>a tangent, guys, if I'm if I got anything, it's

18
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 1>a motherfucking tangent. I ain't got to do nothing but

19
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 1>stay black, die and have a tangent. But I don't

20
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 1>think I'm adding another thirty minutes or twenty minutes to

21
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>an episode to talk about something that I want. That

22
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>just happened. I just want to like state my opinion

23
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>on so. And I don't know if that's a good

24
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>experience for you guys or not. I I I almost

25
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 1>want to be like, can somebody like send me a

26
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>message and let me know? But I don't want to

27
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:35.359
<v Speaker 1>do that because if I do that, then that means

28
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 1>that I will I'll probably just get people that, you know,

29
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>that like it as opposed to people that do. I

30
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't think I'll get a good sampling

31
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 1>if I do if I do something like that. So, yeah,

32
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 1>I think it's going well. We'll see how the how

33
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>it goes. Uh. So this week, let's figure out what

34
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>we wanna talk about. All right, Let's start off with

35
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a new Black Panther in the house. Uh. If

36
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>you don't know, Marvel Movies is doing a Black Panther three. Uh,

37
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and they have they have not recast Chadwick Boseman. Now

38
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 1>that's the he's the guy who played the original Black Panther.

39
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 1>He did it very well. We were really happy with

40
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.240
<v Speaker 1>that first movie. And he died of cancer not long after,

41
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.199
<v Speaker 1>which is never great for a Marvel actor because until

42
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>they were ready to reboot you. They expect this actor

43
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>to keep showing right. You're usually doing at least three

44
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>or four movies, you know. I think Tom Holland is

45
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>on his fourth Spider Man. I think it's gonna probably

46
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>be his last Spider Man. This four Spider Man over

47
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>a decade. Although Spider Man is owned by Sony and

48
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>lint out tomorrow. It's a it's a little bit of

49
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>a different thing. But so that movie being such a

50
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>spectacular hit, uh resonating with so many, particularly black people.

51
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's who it resonated with. I'm sure lots

52
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>of other people liked it, but that was its main audience.

53
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 1>And then for him to pass on it was really hard.

54
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I say hard, like like it's harder for us than

55
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>his fucking family and friends and people that lost them

56
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>in their lives. I'm just saying that it was not

57
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 1>the ideal situation. Literally, no one's fault. And then so

58
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 1>he passed on. We had a Black Panther two in

59
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:33.319
<v Speaker 1>which we had to really focus on Shurry his sister.

60
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I got a lot of great lego sets out out

61
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>of that fucking Black Panther too. I love my Black

62
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Panther lego sets. Guys, did you know for my birthday?

63
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I got five World Cup Lego sets, five of them.

64
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 1>I got a US a US World Cup little kind

65
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of dow Hickey that you could put either the men

66
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 1>or the I obviously put the women. I want to

67
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>put the winning teams on there. It's really cute. I

68
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:10.759
<v Speaker 1>got little individual sets for Mbape, Vinnie Junior, Messi, and Ronaldo.

69
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>They didn't they didn't have a belling Ham, they didn't

70
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>have a haul In. They didn't they didn't have a

71
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Namar Junior. Obviously they didn't have I don't know, I

72
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 1>can name some other people that that I'm kind of into.

73
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>They didn't have them. But you know, I got five sets.

74
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I am now down. I might be down like eleven

75
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 1>or twelve. Like I got a backlog of like twelve

76
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 1>fucking Lego sets. I got legos back from Wicket that

77
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 1>I ain't did yet. I got a lot of shit.

78
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I got a spider Man uh the big

79
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 1>one where okay from the last spider Man movie where

80
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>all the Spider Mans were fighting uh together? The so

81
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 1>who were there were like four spider Mans for fighting

82
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 1>together and they were fighting sand Like, I got that

83
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>fucking set and there are new Spider Man sets out.

84
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 1>Here's the issue. I don't have a ton of space

85
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>right now. My husband has built me. I mean, if

86
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>you saw my office, my husband has built me, uh

87
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a collection of shelves and shelving in which I get

88
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to keep legos. I don't think I'm gonna have a

89
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 1>topsperce forever. I'm gonna have to reconfigure. I also have

90
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>an attic full of dollhouses. I put my doll houses

91
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 1>away cause something happened to them, and I was upset.

92
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Something happened to like one of my doll houses. Like,

93
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I have a doll house I haven't even put together.

94
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a pizza shop. I really needed a

95
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>pizza shop. I got it for Christmas. I still didn't

96
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>put it together. It's just chilling. I have an attic

97
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>full of dollhouses, dolls, and accessories, and it's very specific.

98
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't heard me talk about my miniature obsession,

99
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 1>I probably what you're what you're envisioning is not what like.

100
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.639
<v Speaker 1>I have a very specific aesthetic and I have very

101
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 1>specific dolls. They're not like baby dolls or anything. They're

102
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess, I guess most people call them more like figures.

103
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I just have a very specific aesthetic. And what I

104
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>really need is some of my children to grow up

105
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>so I can use their rooms. I need to get out.

106
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:27.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't ever want my children to leave, except for

107
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 1>when I'm thinking about setting up a room that's half

108
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>legos and half miniatures. The person, you guys know, I

109
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>don't give a Robin Brown. I think she's I don't

110
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>think she's hitler. I think she's a medium evil lady. Jesus,

111
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 1>a white lady with bad eyebrows. That lies a lot,

112
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>all right. So she's like medium evil and so evil,

113
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>but just medium evil. She's not gonna be the top

114
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 1>of the top. She's not winning any awards for evilness.

115
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>But when it came out that she bought all these

116
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>fucking dollhouses, I think she bought dolls too. And I'm

117
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 1>not literally a doll person. I like the figures in

118
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>my dollhouses. When she brought all these fucking doll houses,

119
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, hold the fuck up, we might

120
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>have some this most relatable thing she's ever done. It's

121
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 1>by two thousand dollars worth of fucking doll shit, or

122
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>do you get see? But GE can just imagine if

123
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 1>I had the space, Cause, m my dollhouses are a town,

124
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.439
<v Speaker 1>like I set them up, like I have the apartment

125
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>building here and the shop, the with the with the grocery,

126
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>with the bodega at the bottom. I have you know,

127
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.839
<v Speaker 1>the farm, the house, the pizza shop. I got a bookstore.

128
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 1>I got a a coffee thing, a coffee shop. A

129
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of shit. And what I love to do when

130
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 1>they're out. When they're out is what I love to

131
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 1>do is I love to be able to cut, to

132
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 1>set up stories, storylines throughout the thing, and just you know,

133
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>every day spend like ten minutes moving forward my stories.

134
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:10.959
<v Speaker 1>Like I have this gay couple. Oh, I have this treehouse.

135
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe this treehouse is bad ass, Okay, nobody had. I

136
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>have a log cabin. I got a lot of shit.

137
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I wish I could sit down and think about how many,

138
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 1>but they're all panantic Anyway. I have this gay couple

139
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.199
<v Speaker 1>that live in my apartment. We live in one of

140
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.199
<v Speaker 1>the apartments in my apartment building in my brownstone, And

141
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.159
<v Speaker 1>they have a son, and his son's getting bullied at school?

142
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Who is he getting bullied by the daughter of their neighbor.

143
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>And she's you know why she's bullying him because her

144
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:46.159
<v Speaker 1>father is having an emotional affair with one of the

145
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>gay dads. She found out about it, and so she's

146
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 1>been bullying that little boy. And so they've been going

147

<v Speaker 1>to the school. I have a schoolhouse. They've been going

148
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.919
<v Speaker 1>to the school, down to the school to like talk

149
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 1>to the principal and everything about it. And you know,

150
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>like obviously the one having an affair kind of knows why,

151
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 1>like doesn't know why, but like it is uncomfortable to connection,

152
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and the one that's not having an affair is just like,

153
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the fuck is going on. We've

154
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>been down here three times, like tell her to leave

155
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>my kid alone. And so then they're in a confrontation

156
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.159
<v Speaker 1>at the coffee shop because they're all getting coffee at

157
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the same time, and you know, the one that's not

158
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.559
<v Speaker 1>in the affair is like, hey, you need to get

159
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 1>control of your little brat over there, and the mom

160
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>is like, well, who are you calling a brat? And

161
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.519
<v Speaker 1>so they're getting into it. But the two men, the

162
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 1>two fathers that are like having an emotional affair, are

163
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 1>like kind of sitting back because they don't they don't

164
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:42.960
<v Speaker 1>want to bring attention to it. So they can't just

165
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 1>walk up on each other at the coffee. So they're like,

166
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.559
<v Speaker 1>oh no, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone.

167
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.679
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, like it's drama and I have to put

168
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.679
<v Speaker 2>Like I ideally I could set up my little stories,

169
00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.399
<v Speaker 2>like the cashier at the bodega, she's stealing.

170
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.639
<v Speaker 1>She's stealing, why she's dealing. She's a drug problem. Her

171
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend got her on drugs. And he lives at the

172
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>top of the apartment complex, in a in a study

173
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.279
<v Speaker 1>at the apartment at the top of the Brownstone in

174
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a studio apartment. He's an artist, he plays the guitar,

175
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 1>he has all those things in there, and like babes

176
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and she lives at home with her parents. She had

177
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:23.480
<v Speaker 1>to move back in with her parents, right, And it's

178
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 1>hard though, because like her parents had her young, really young,

179
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.200
<v Speaker 1>like they were teens, right, And then they decided to

180
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>stay together and like like try to make this work.

181
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.879
<v Speaker 1>But then they broke up because I mean, how are

182
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.039
<v Speaker 1>you supposed to stay together when you're like sixteen years

183
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>old with a fucking baby. So they broke up, lived

184
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 1>their lives, ended up reconnecting, Yes, reconnecting, Like when the

185
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>girl was like eight years old, like a Hallmark movie.

186
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 1>They get married, they start having more children, so she's

187
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>eight years older than all of her biological children siblings. Okay,

188
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.759
<v Speaker 1>so the all event is really nice fucking house, and

189
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.279
<v Speaker 1>she just feels different because those kids have different parents

190
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>than the parents she is. She was she her parents

191
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>when she were little were fighting in the fucking parking

192
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>lot and pick up and drop off. But now these

193
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.399
<v Speaker 1>younger kids, they just got everything. They've got a nice party,

194
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.919
<v Speaker 1>pottery barn set up that I bought from Pottery bon.

195
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 1>It's just a really nice house. But she had to

196
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 1>move in because she she had dropped out of school

197
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 1>and she just really like was trying to find herself.

198
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>So you move back in, but she always feels like

199
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the leftover, even though she's technically these are her biological parents,

200
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.759
<v Speaker 1>her biological siblings. This is my step parent, you know,

201
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.039
<v Speaker 1>moved onor bladed parent thing. It's just the way it happened.

202
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 1>And so she's living with them. They don't even know

203
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.919
<v Speaker 1>she's a drug addict and addict and addict at whatever

204
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying and like, but she's stealing from the bodega,

205
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.639
<v Speaker 1>and the bodego owner, mister chen is gonna find out. Also,

206
00:11:54.120 --> 00:12:00.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking I'm thinking that maybe maybe the girl, the

207
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.759
<v Speaker 1>girl working at the bodega, the bodega girl, it's gonna

208
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 1>leave out some of her drugs in the house, and

209
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>one of her siblings is gonna get into it, and

210
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be very Fiona in her worst season, shameless.

211
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, I'm thinking that might happen. Or they'll buy

212
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 1>a horse, because I do have a little farm horse. Yeah,

213
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>why am I talking about that? Part of the reason,

214
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.519
<v Speaker 1>I like, I've always really loved doll houses since I

215
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>was like super small, and part of the problem part

216
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.360
<v Speaker 1>is not a problem. When I was young, I just

217
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't get doll houses. I got one very plastically that

218
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.559
<v Speaker 1>had stickers and stuff on it that were the doors

219
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. But I got there when I

220
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 1>was really young, and we you know, we're in the military,

221
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:55.200
<v Speaker 1>moved a lot and went told a lot of fucking

222
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 1>schools every year. And it wasn't just being in the military,

223
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:00.639
<v Speaker 1>it was also my parent and like to move a

224
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.399
<v Speaker 1>lot cause we'd be at a certain station, they move

225
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot within that city. And I don't want to

226
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:08.919
<v Speaker 1>say like too like they were like, oh, you don't

227
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.799
<v Speaker 1>let's move. I think that circumstances have been life like.

228
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>They moved a lot because of as a reaction to

229
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>certain things. So I lost that dollhouse. But I always

230
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>used to love little figurines, and I always used to

231
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:26.919
<v Speaker 1>love doll houses. I go to people's houses and if

232
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.080
<v Speaker 1>they have one of those big wooden doll houses, I'd

233
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>like get lost in it. I wasn't really a Barbie

234
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.399
<v Speaker 1>dollhouse type of chick, but I don't hate them. I

235
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>really like a smaller dimension. But yeah, I just always

236
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 1>loved them. And part of me starting to collect dollhouses

237
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>was like, I don't know, maybe shit, five six, seven

238
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 1>years ago, I was just like, yeah, I can just

239
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>have a doll house if I want one, and I

240
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.519
<v Speaker 1>don't have to buy it for a kid and be

241
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>like ooh, look at the dollhouse, don't you No, I

242
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>could just buy my own and enjoy it. And it's

243
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.600
<v Speaker 1>been a really great reclaiming of my childhood and like

244
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a reparenting of myself. And I know that that sounds

245
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.159
<v Speaker 1>a little kooky to a lot of people that are like,

246
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe in that shit, Okay, fine, but reparenting

247
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>my inner child part of it is letting her have shit,

248
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 1>not being like if you get a cabbage patch doll,

249
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>nobody here will be able to eat anymore, you know.

250
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I have lots of Legos. They really

251
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.840
<v Speaker 1>interested me. I love them. They're usually like with some

252
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>really cool ip that community lego set. Ever gets off

253
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:42.559
<v Speaker 1>the fucking ground, Jesus Christ, I will be there for it.

254
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>And the dollhouses, and you know, I used to be

255
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:52.799
<v Speaker 1>a kid that would that that one little dollhouse I

256
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 1>had that didn't have any people and the furniture was

257
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>all plastic and and like the windows were stickers and everything.

258
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.919
<v Speaker 1>I love that fucking dollhouse. I used to sit there

259
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.879
<v Speaker 1>and do spec stories for like just the ten of

260
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:08.399
<v Speaker 1>us and growing pains. I would pretend the kids were

261
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.480
<v Speaker 1>differ were different, the the f I had some like

262
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>figurings that didn't go for that doll house, but they

263
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>fit in there, and I would pretend like they were

264
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.559
<v Speaker 1>characters from from Golden Girls and stuff. And I would

265
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:24.039
<v Speaker 1>like make an episode with my dollhouses. I would. I

266
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>was serious about the the lighting. I would move the

267
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.399
<v Speaker 1>lamp around, which would annoy my brothers, cause at this

268
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>point we all shared a room I would move the

269
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 1>lamp around so that I could mimic uh like sunlight

270
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:41.799
<v Speaker 1>pouring through the cause some of my some of my

271
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.960
<v Speaker 1>setups really needed, like the sunlight was a was was

272
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.159
<v Speaker 1>one of the characters, Okay, it was a paid actor.

273
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.879
<v Speaker 1>I needed the sunlight to stream through as the characters

274
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 1>were talking to each other about their their you know,

275
00:15:54.600 --> 00:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>their boyfriends or whatever. I these things really like, like

276
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I if there's one thing I know

277
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>about myself, I'm imaginative, okay, And I love to make

278
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:12.799
<v Speaker 1>up a good fucking story. And that's what That's what

279
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I used to do and I loved it. And so

280
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.879
<v Speaker 1>as an adult, I have nicer doll houses, way nicer

281
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>shit and obviously and I don't necessarily want to build

282
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>them from scratch, you know those like green leaf doll

283
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.440
<v Speaker 1>houses and like paying everything. I mean, I don't hate

284
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:31.399
<v Speaker 1>that idea, right, I don't hate that idea. But also

285
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know, I I I like what I have.

286
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:37.039
<v Speaker 1>I just I really like to get to the story

287
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.279
<v Speaker 1>building part. So can you imagine if I just had

288
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:41.279
<v Speaker 1>a space in my house where I just had I

289
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.679
<v Speaker 1>was able to like really clean set that shit up,

290
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>get the lighting. Real good. Not worry about somebody bringing

291
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.360
<v Speaker 1>their child to my house and them touching my doll houses.

292
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>My kids, no fucking better, those are not toys for them.

293
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Although I will say this, my little bear bear, he

294
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>absolutely my doll houses with out or out would be like,

295
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.440
<v Speaker 1>so do you think I could just play with this

296
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.799
<v Speaker 1>tree house and this target that's happening at this treehouse

297
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and I gild be and I'd be like, yeah, just

298
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 1>for now. He put my stuff back, he put all

299
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.559
<v Speaker 1>the dishes back, he'd make sure my beds were made again,

300
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>that sort of stuff, because I'm sorry, in my imaginary town,

301
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.599
<v Speaker 1>people make their beds like they're just not wandering around. Well,

302
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.079
<v Speaker 1>maybe the drug addict won't make her bed. No, she

303
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.119
<v Speaker 1>makes her bed. She has to. She has to keep

304
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:35.000
<v Speaker 1>up appearances or her parents will find out she's really

305
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 1>doing her best. Did I to mention she was like

306
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.119
<v Speaker 1>a gifted student. She was like she was in she's

307
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.279
<v Speaker 1>she's she was like in a gifted program A plus

308
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.880
<v Speaker 1>us plus went off to college. Really fucked up. Shit, shit,

309
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.480
<v Speaker 1>just got fucked up. Met that guy, he introduced her

310
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.720
<v Speaker 1>to h Things went downhill from there, and she's just

311
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:54.400
<v Speaker 1>trying to make everything okay and like figure it out.

312
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.400
<v Speaker 1>But she's really in love with him. He's gonna od.

313
00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when, Maybe when I get my doll

314
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.759
<v Speaker 1>houses up, she's gonna od. He's gonna od. Probably the

315
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.400
<v Speaker 1>same week her little her kid brother gets in her drugs.

316
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Anyway, don't know why I'm talking about that. Oh,

317
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I started talking about Legos. I have a lot of

318
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:20.640
<v Speaker 1>l Lego sets I'm behind, and it's mostly because I'm

319
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:25.400
<v Speaker 1>thinking of reconfiguring my setups and some of my some

320
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.240
<v Speaker 1>of the pieces I gotta do are are pretty big.

321
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.720
<v Speaker 1>And I was thinking about Legos because I got a er.

322
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I got a n lot of nice pieces from the

323
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>from from Black Panther. Anyway, back to Black Panther, Black

324
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Panther two comes out. It's it's focused on Shurry Black

325
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 1>Panther's uh younger sister and she becomes the Black Panther.

326
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:49.559
<v Speaker 1>This is not I don't think this is too far

327
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:55.319
<v Speaker 1>from comic uh storylines. But again, these Marvel movies do

328
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>not have to fit the comics. UH sometimes to give

329
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.079
<v Speaker 1>a little nod to the comics. But there, but I

330
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.720
<v Speaker 1>and adaptation is a fucking adaptation and not doesn't be exact.

331
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:06.559
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, she she does a lot of Black Panthers

332
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 1>type shit, and you know, they liked her and everything.

333
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.000
<v Speaker 1>She was fine, but people really Misschad with Bozeman. And

334
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:15.359
<v Speaker 1>also they were filming during COVID and this bitch did

335
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.440
<v Speaker 1>not want to get a COVID. She held up production

336
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:25.839
<v Speaker 1>like a motherfucker real like, I don't know herbs can

337
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.039
<v Speaker 1>cure me type bitch. Okay, fine, so then we're getting

338
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Black Panther three. And at the end of Black Panther two,

339
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Carla's dead. Chap with Bowman's character is dead. But Lupita

340
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:42.279
<v Speaker 1>nuangey Lupita, I don't I'm not saying her name correctly.

341
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Lupita's has had his baby in secret, and Sherry finally

342
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.519
<v Speaker 1>like visits her in I don't Puerto Rico or Vinnegirta.

343
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:58.599
<v Speaker 1>The she's somewhere and she meets her son, and if

344
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:04.519
<v Speaker 1>you watch the cut scene at the he tells her

345
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.200
<v Speaker 1>my he says, my mother says you can keep secrets,

346
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the good secrets, and he goes and she's he's She's like, yeah,

347
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I can keep a secret, and he and he goes.

348
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:22.279
<v Speaker 1>My real name is Chackla Takla whatever Chakla, and that

349
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.839
<v Speaker 1>she's the she's uh, he's the son of the Black Panther.

350
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.759
<v Speaker 1>And so we've got a casting for Sea for uh,

351
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the third sequel, and it is what is his name?

352
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard of this man to day in my life.

353
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:41.319
<v Speaker 1>His name is David Johnson. He's a brit That's I

354
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.039
<v Speaker 1>don't know why anybody have a problem with that. They're

355
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:48.599
<v Speaker 1>doing fake accents in this fucking movie anyway, They're doing afrofuturism.

356
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.599
<v Speaker 1>The accents don't go together. The accents are real bad, Okay,

357
00:20:53.839 --> 00:21:02.480
<v Speaker 1>do not. The amount of the amount of African culture

358
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:06.039
<v Speaker 1>in this movie is similar to the amount of African

359
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:13.480
<v Speaker 1>culture in coming to America, which is almost nothing. So

360
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 1>don't go for that. But I mean, the movies are

361
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>really popular and a lot of people are upset that

362
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:19.839
<v Speaker 1>that of who he's being cast. I mean, this is

363
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.319
<v Speaker 1>just like normal shit these days. Right, They tell you

364
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:24.640
<v Speaker 1>they cast someone and everyone's like, what, Oh, I don't

365
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:27.480
<v Speaker 1>want that one, we want this one. Meanwhile, the casting

366
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:31.599
<v Speaker 1>of a movie or a show is far more complicated

367
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:34.319
<v Speaker 1>than the than somebody that you think looks good on paper,

368
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:37.799
<v Speaker 1>and actually I can do the part they've got to

369
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 1>be available, they've got to be affordable. And Ryan Kugler,

370
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I believe he wrote and directed it. I don't. Maybe

371
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:50.200
<v Speaker 1>he's just directed it. You know, he's been so successful

372
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:54.519
<v Speaker 1>with the Black Panther movies. He chose David and Off

373
00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:57.960
<v Speaker 1>we Go. And I trust Ryan Kugler's vision for it

374
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:03.200
<v Speaker 1>because it is it is his, is right. Everything we've

375
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:05.960
<v Speaker 1>seen comes from him. It's why Michael B. Jordan was

376
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.119
<v Speaker 1>in it. Michael Jordan was in the second one, even

377
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.039
<v Speaker 1>though I think he's dead, he might be an the

378
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>third one. Who knows, But there's a lot of people

379
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:21.759
<v Speaker 1>saying they want to Dampson Idris Idris Dampson, Gosh, he's

380
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.200
<v Speaker 1>not the guy. He's from Snowfall, the one that dated

381
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Lori Harvey. Damnson Idris is his name, and people were like,

382
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:36.759
<v Speaker 1>he couldn't get in because he dated Lori Harvey and

383
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Michael be Jordan's very upset and Michael Jordan Ryan Coogler

384
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:41.720
<v Speaker 1>are best friends. I don't know, I feel like that

385
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.799
<v Speaker 1>that's a big, big reach. I really just feel like,

386
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out

387
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:50.960
<v Speaker 1>later that's true, like that that they were like, you

388
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:54.039
<v Speaker 1>know what, we've been thinking about this dancing guy, and

389
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Michael B. Jordan hit the group chat with Nope, not

390
00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:58.680
<v Speaker 1>that one. I don't know. It's possible. I'm not saying

391
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:01.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not possible. I just think it's might be. It's

392
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:04.240
<v Speaker 1>also possible he was never even considered. It's also possible

393
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:08.240
<v Speaker 1>he had a meeting. It was bad. It's possible, But

394
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.160
<v Speaker 1>there's just been a lot of uproar about the casting.

395
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:14.079
<v Speaker 1>The thing about Black Panther is, while it is a

396
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Marvel movie, it has significance that is outside of Marvel

397
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:23.759
<v Speaker 1>and that it is it is very sacred to black people.

398
00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:27.319
<v Speaker 1>As a black person. When we look at pop culture,

399
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times it doesn't reflect this. We have

400
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to find ourselves in other stories. That's okay, that's a

401
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 1>good skill to have. It's an excellent skill to be

402
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.359
<v Speaker 1>able to look at some money who doesn't reflect back

403
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:40.079
<v Speaker 1>to you and find yourself in that character. It breeds empathy. Okay.

404
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.720
<v Speaker 1>If you can do that, your empathy skills will be

405
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 1>top notch. It actually makes you a better rounded person.

406
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:51.079
<v Speaker 1>But you know, being able to see Black Panther as

407
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:57.839
<v Speaker 1>a Marvel as a Marvel superhero and to also have

408
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.200
<v Speaker 1>it actually be a really good movie. I would say

409
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the second movie is not as good as the first movie,

410
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.119
<v Speaker 1>but there's a lot of reasons. I mean, it starts

411
00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 1>with the funeral. It starts with Chad with Bosman dying.

412
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:10.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean not on screen because he's already dead, but

413
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, it starts with his funeral and the grief.

414
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:16.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot, it's a lot. I believe Angela Bassett

415
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:19.119
<v Speaker 1>deserved that an oscar for that speech at the un

416
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that she does in there where she says that you

417
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:26.119
<v Speaker 1>think that we are unprotected or I think she deserves

418
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 1>for her entire for her entire performance. The part where

419
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:35.440
<v Speaker 1>they've lost Sherry and the head of the general is like,

420
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:40.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, I basically that she sacrificed or whatever, and

421
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:44.319
<v Speaker 1>and Angela Bassett, who's Blackfather's mother, is essentially like, I

422
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.279
<v Speaker 1>have given my husband, I have given my son, and

423
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:50.599
<v Speaker 1>now you have lost my It's a great like she

424
00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 1>did a great job in it. Her accent wasn't great,

425
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:57.759
<v Speaker 1>but nobody's accent in his movies are good. But he

426
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't bother me. I'm like whatever, I'm a suspend believe.

427
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:05.160
<v Speaker 1>But it's such a powerful movie for black culture. It's

428
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:08.480
<v Speaker 1>written in a very entertaining way. Ryan Cooler knows how

429
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to do this, really knows how to fucking do this,

430
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and I just like, we're all very excited. But I

431
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:21.720
<v Speaker 1>understand why people have strong feelings about the casting. But like,

432
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.039
<v Speaker 1>I really just and this goes with reality TV stars too, right,

433
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Often we're like, we don't want to see this person,

434
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:29.640
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to see that person. I'm fine with

435
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:31.319
<v Speaker 1>people saying that because I say it all the time,

436
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:32.799
<v Speaker 1>like there's a lot of people I don't want to

437
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:37.920
<v Speaker 1>see on my screen. But obviously I also understand that

438
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:40.599
<v Speaker 1>I am not in charge of casting the Valley. Okay,

439
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not in charge of casting the Valley. The people

440
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.640
<v Speaker 1>who are in charge of casting the Valley have an

441
00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:50.079
<v Speaker 1>understanding of how to do their jobs that I don't.

442
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I only know what I want to see and don't

443
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.039
<v Speaker 1>want to see. And that's very different than you should

444
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:55.599
<v Speaker 1>be doing this, and you should be doing that here.

445
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Let me come help you. It's very easy for me

446
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to sit at my screen and be like, eh, to

447
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:05.880
<v Speaker 1>see that motherfucker. But I trust that this is going

448
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a good casting. I don't know we're gonna

449
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.519
<v Speaker 1>get this movie I'm really mad at Marvel right now.

450
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:13.640
<v Speaker 1>We did not get our last Miles Morales. Uh Spider

451
00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Man that came it came out in like May or June,

452
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and the second the so the first one amazing, second

453
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:27.519
<v Speaker 1>one really fucking good, really fucking good, like really good.

454
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:29.119
<v Speaker 1>I can watch it right now. In fact, i'll watch

455
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:31.680
<v Speaker 1>it this sin as I'm done recording. This came out

456
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:34.559
<v Speaker 1>in May, and we're supposed to get our third in December.

457
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>They pushed it back. This was years ago. I still

458
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.400
<v Speaker 1>lived in Texas. We haven't seen it. I'm not sure

459
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. But like Miles Morales is also a

460
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 1>very special Marvel character to a certain culture, you know,

461
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:58.799
<v Speaker 1>And I really just feel like I really just feel

462
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:02.400
<v Speaker 1>like people get their emotions get a little bit higher

463
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:05.319
<v Speaker 1>in those situations. So yeah, I don't know when we're

464
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna get Black Panther three. He's been cast. He was

465
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:12.799
<v Speaker 1>cast months ago, so I'm assuming they haven't started filming

466
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:15.599
<v Speaker 1>because if they had, we would have gotten leaked photos

467
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.200
<v Speaker 1>of him being Black Panther or Chicago's Son. I want

468
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:21.039
<v Speaker 1>to know how we're gonna So Angel Bass is dead

469
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.720
<v Speaker 1>in the franchise, we'll probably see her, they let dead

470
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.160
<v Speaker 1>people come back all the time. Angel Bassis is dead

471
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:29.559
<v Speaker 1>in the franchise, Sure he is not. That's gonna be

472
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.799
<v Speaker 1>his aunt, And I'm assuming Lapita is not. I'm calling

473
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:35.880
<v Speaker 1>people by their character name and then by their their

474
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:42.839
<v Speaker 1>Actually it's a lot. I'm assuming Lapita is not. So

475
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:46.319
<v Speaker 1>what are we gonna do? Age wise? I have a

476
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:49.720
<v Speaker 1>feeling I don't know how how old David is, but

477
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I have a feeling that he is going to be

478
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:57.359
<v Speaker 1>playing a little younger. Let me see how old he is,

479
00:27:58.359 --> 00:28:05.119
<v Speaker 1>David Johnson, not Davis. He's thirty two, so I can

480
00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:10.759
<v Speaker 1>see realistically he could play twenties early twenties without like

481
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:13.160
<v Speaker 1>much of a stretch. He is black, so it is

482
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:14.920
<v Speaker 1>hard people to figure out how old black people are.

483
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.640
<v Speaker 1>But I could see that's not the same as Black

484
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:20.680
<v Speaker 1>people look amazing and young for the rest of their life.

485
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:25.799
<v Speaker 1>It's that non black people often have trouble figure out

486
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:28.839
<v Speaker 1>how old black people are. They assume children are older

487
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:31.720
<v Speaker 1>than they are, they assume adults are younger than they are,

488
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:37.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's just it's difficult. It's sometimes difficult for me too, Like,

489
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:45.400
<v Speaker 1>but I'm assuming he's playing early twenties, which would put

490
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:49.799
<v Speaker 1>us fifteen ish years maybe more. Mmm, I don't know

491
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:51.319
<v Speaker 1>how that kid was. I want to say that kid's

492
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>like eight nine years old. Ten would be pushing it,

493
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:58.279
<v Speaker 1>which will put us, like, you know, twelve, ten years

494
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>in the future. So what does Shurry look like now?

495
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:04.480
<v Speaker 1>What does Lapita look like? Now? So those are questions

496
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have, but I'll be seated and I just

497
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:12.200
<v Speaker 1>want to, like, let other fans just let them fucking cook.

498
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Just let him cook, let him cook. First of all,

499
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a huge blockbuster because we're just

500
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:22.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna go. When black people really we just go. We

501
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.440
<v Speaker 1>really like your movie, we really when something is really

502
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>important to us, we'll just go. And so it's gonna

503
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:31.079
<v Speaker 1>make a lot of money no matter what. But the

504
00:29:31.160 --> 00:29:34.720
<v Speaker 1>question is will it be good? And you know, I'm

505
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:39.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna trust Ryan. Uh, he's got his little Oscar, he's

506
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a little he's got he's got his little awards. He's good,

507
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.000
<v Speaker 1>he seems to be he seems to be doing very

508
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.240
<v Speaker 1>well for himself. Let's just trust to see what he's

509
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:53.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna do. And oh, that means I'm gonna get some

510
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:58.319
<v Speaker 1>more black panther like I have so many like if

511
00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I because black Panther comes with like all of the sets.

512
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I have many black Panthers, I have many villains, I

513
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:14.359
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of series. I even have a fuck

514
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:16.359
<v Speaker 1>what's her name? Iron Heart? I even have iron Heart

515
00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:19.200
<v Speaker 1>because she was introduced in the second one. They really

516
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:22.720
<v Speaker 1>fucked with that character. I'm upset about. She could have

517
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 1>been a handful a lot better. But anyway, on to

518
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:32.359
<v Speaker 1>the next thing. So, uh, Tuskegee University is changing its

519
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.559
<v Speaker 1>dressco policy to band do rags and bonnets in the

520
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.319
<v Speaker 1>dress code on like in class and whatnot. If you

521
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:47.359
<v Speaker 1>don't know, Tuskegee University is a historically black university. It's HBCU.

522
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:50.519
<v Speaker 1>It is I would if they told me it was

523
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the oldest one. I believe it. It is incredibly important

524
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 1>to Black history and culture. Well, I'm talking about a

525
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of black things today about important to Black history

526
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and culture, Black American and as an HBCU, it is,

527
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the atmosphere on campus is just a smidge different than

528
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>going to a PWI, a primarily white institution. And so yeah,

529
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 1>like there's been a lot of discourse about this, about

530
00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:29.680
<v Speaker 1>them banning bonnets, dorects. I'm sure they're banning pajamas as

531
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:33.359
<v Speaker 1>well when I was going to college, when I was

532
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.559
<v Speaker 1>at ODU at first, when I started there, it was

533
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:42.279
<v Speaker 1>often said that because I was at a primarily white

534
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>institution as opposed to an SU and so I Norfolk State,

535
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:59.039
<v Speaker 1>which is a more black, a black school, that the

536
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:05.880
<v Speaker 1>way we was very different to class because black people

537
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:11.359
<v Speaker 1>have this history of wanting to be seen a certain way. Right,

538
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:14.519
<v Speaker 1>so wearing pajamas and shit the class, which is not

539
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.519
<v Speaker 1>really a thing that they did. It's a part of

540
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:20.319
<v Speaker 1>respectability politics. It's it's very different now, by the way,

541
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.559
<v Speaker 1>but it's a part of respectability of politics. And we

542
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:23.000
<v Speaker 1>can take this.

543
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

544
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Probably the most famous purveyor of respectability politics is Bill Cosby,

545
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:33.519
<v Speaker 1>although it doesn't end and begin with him, and this

546
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:37.559
<v Speaker 1>idea that if you look a certain way, if you

547
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:41.839
<v Speaker 1>present yourself a certain way, no baggy pants, no bonnets outside,

548
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:48.119
<v Speaker 1>no no.

549
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:45.839
<v Speaker 2>No.

550
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Backwards hats and things like that, if you present yourself

551
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a certain way, then you will earn the respect I mean,

552
00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say from white people, but society at large, right,

553
00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:05.559
<v Speaker 1>you will, Uh if you handle your life a certain way.

554
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Uh No kids outside of marriage, no baby mama's no. No,

555
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:16.400
<v Speaker 1>loud rap music. Make sure your kids are dressed very

556
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:20.359
<v Speaker 1>well and also do very well in school. This make

557
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:24.680
<v Speaker 1>sure that you're not loud in spaces. Make sure that

558
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:31.680
<v Speaker 1>you are presenting yourself as a respectable person, and you

559
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:34.039
<v Speaker 1>don't faull to any of the stereotypes. You can swim,

560
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:37.519
<v Speaker 1>you know they say black people can swim. You can swim. Uh,

561
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.400
<v Speaker 1>black people aren't educated. You're educated, that sort of stuff.

562
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:44.599
<v Speaker 1>And and like where I am a person who doesn't

563
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:46.640
<v Speaker 1>like to wear a bonnet in in public. I don't like.

564
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't like doing that. I'll wear a headscarf, but

565
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:50.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a headscarf mat for me to be in public.

566
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:53.240
<v Speaker 1>That's just me. And also I also won't wear pajamas

567
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:56.519
<v Speaker 1>in public if it's but that's because I have an

568
00:33:56.559 --> 00:34:02.279
<v Speaker 1>inside clothes outside clothes issue. My outside clothes are not

569
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:04.839
<v Speaker 1>comfy clothes. They should not be in my bed. They

570
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:07.400
<v Speaker 1>really shouldn't be like lounging on my couch, although they

571
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.679
<v Speaker 1>could be you know, outside outside, But that's what that's

572
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:16.119
<v Speaker 1>the problem I'm having. And also I know that I

573
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:19.960
<v Speaker 1>do know that the way you present yourself is how

574
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:24.880
<v Speaker 1>people will will will see you. Right, you must present

575
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:26.880
<v Speaker 1>yourself in the way in which you want to be observed.

576
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:30.599
<v Speaker 1>I understand that, but I wanna say this, like, while

577
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:34.199
<v Speaker 1>respectabily politics were were like a huge like thing in

578
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:37.280
<v Speaker 1>the eighties and nineties and even the early aughts and

579
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.159
<v Speaker 1>still exists to this day, I think a lot of

580
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:44.440
<v Speaker 1>us as a whole have realized that there is no

581
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:49.840
<v Speaker 1>way you could dress to keep racist, to outrun racism.

582
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:58.880
<v Speaker 1>There is no black stereotype you could suppress to keep

583
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:04.320
<v Speaker 1>racism away from your door. It's just not how it works.

584
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:13.960
<v Speaker 1>And respectabily politics tells you that you can't be shot

585
00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:18.880
<v Speaker 1>by the police. It it wouldn't happen if only you

586
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:21.360
<v Speaker 1>were wearing a button up and walking straight and did

587
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:24.280
<v Speaker 1>not have dreadlocks. Like That's that's what it tells you,

588
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and we all know that's not true. And so what

589
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of us, when we're thinking about

590
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:38.079
<v Speaker 1>like respectability politics is is about performing purity and in

591
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:44.679
<v Speaker 1>some cases whiteness right, trying to assimilate. Although I would

592
00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:47.840
<v Speaker 1>not say the things that respectably politics demands that you

593
00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:52.480
<v Speaker 1>do are necessarily associated with white people. They're more associated

594
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:56.400
<v Speaker 1>with uh conservatism. But it's all, it's all a little

595
00:35:56.440 --> 00:36:04.599
<v Speaker 1>melting pot over there but I think in in especially

596
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:06.320
<v Speaker 1>in this day and age, a lot of us just

597
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:12.719
<v Speaker 1>wanna be ourselves. If making sure my hair is straight

598
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:18.199
<v Speaker 1>and looks as close to whiteness as possible doesn't protect me,

599
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:21.679
<v Speaker 1>then what if I just have it the way I

600
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:25.119
<v Speaker 1>want to? What if when I go to the store,

601
00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to impress anybody. I'm not ready for

602
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:29.519
<v Speaker 1>my new hair to come out. I my hair needs

603
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.920
<v Speaker 1>to stay protecting this bond. Because why can't I just

604
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:39.599
<v Speaker 1>be in this store as I am? Especially when other

605
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:42.639
<v Speaker 1>groups of people can do that and do not get

606
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:47.519
<v Speaker 1>the same judgment. The judgments they are regardless. So instead

607
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:52.360
<v Speaker 1>of trying to contort your life to look a certain

608
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:56.440
<v Speaker 1>way so that no one judges you, maybe let that

609
00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:58.199
<v Speaker 1>go and just be who you are. And that's I

610
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:01.599
<v Speaker 1>think that's the pushback on it. I mean, obviously tuskege

611
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:03.800
<v Speaker 1>do whatever they want on campus. I think it's gonna

612
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:09.559
<v Speaker 1>be hard to you. I think that to police that

613
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:18.280
<v Speaker 1>that to police that that uh dress code, You're gonna

614
00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:22.679
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna require instructors to do it. And you want

615
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:26.000
<v Speaker 1>me to instruct and grade and and classroom manage all

616
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:29.320
<v Speaker 1>that and be like, hey, get that bonnet off your head, Like,

617
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:31.199
<v Speaker 1>come the fuck, what are we gonna do? What if

618
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:33.320
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to, We're gonna tell them to get out.

619
00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:35.360
<v Speaker 1>What if they don't want to, we're gonna call it.

620
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:37.559
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna call security on them. We don't have security

621
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:41.079
<v Speaker 1>incidents over do rags. I don't know. I just feel

622
00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:43.880
<v Speaker 1>like it's just not really, it's not uncommon, don't get

623
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:48.000
<v Speaker 1>me wrong. You know, I live not far from Hampton University,

624
00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and Hampton University is could be quite a bit more strict,

625
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:57.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's not new. But the fact that people are

626
00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.880
<v Speaker 1>talking about bonnet culture. First of all, all of y'all

627
00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:02.880
<v Speaker 1>can wear about it. I think most people probably should

628
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:09.760
<v Speaker 1>be wearing about it. But okay, fine, But I think

629
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the argument is that a lot of dress code culture

630
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:19.719
<v Speaker 1>is designed to keep certain groups of people out right.

631
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:23.639
<v Speaker 1>So where like you might have a dress code that

632
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:27.719
<v Speaker 1>says no sneakers, tennis shoes or anything like that, right

633
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:31.280
<v Speaker 1>to get into this bar. You know, most people wear

634
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:36.400
<v Speaker 1>athletic shoes unless and so that would affect a lot

635
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 1>of people. But if your dress code says no Jordan's

636
00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:46.960
<v Speaker 1>not saying only black people wear Jordans. But who are

637
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you trying to get with that. Uh, And so I

638
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:54.400
<v Speaker 1>wonder I understand that a lot of people find the

639
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:57.719
<v Speaker 1>dress code anti black. I find it unenforceable and irrelevant.

640
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:04.559
<v Speaker 1>But I think that a lot of people wanting to

641
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:06.559
<v Speaker 1>that really agree with them, like, this is how you

642
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:07.559
<v Speaker 1>have to be seen, this is how you have to

643
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.360
<v Speaker 1>do this. Da da da. I think they're living in

644
00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:12.559
<v Speaker 1>a very different time. I don't think that they have

645
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:18.679
<v Speaker 1>realized that, uh, assimilating as much as possible is not

646
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:21.280
<v Speaker 1>going to keep you safe. It's not gonna guarantee success,

647
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:26.679
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna do any of those things. Yeah, I

648
00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:28.559
<v Speaker 1>mean I saw a lot of people saying, oh, this

649
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:31.079
<v Speaker 1>is coming from COVID culture. First of all, everybody blames

650
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:33.480
<v Speaker 1>everything on those COVID years. Everyone. They're like, the kids

651
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:36.039
<v Speaker 1>can't read, it's COVID, that's not I don't think that.

652
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's exactly it. I mean that there

653
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:40.079
<v Speaker 1>were a couple of law school years there, but I

654
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:42.159
<v Speaker 1>don't think so. I think I think we're we're looking

655
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:48.440
<v Speaker 1>at uh many factors in why you see literacy rates dropping.

656
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:52.239
<v Speaker 1>And I will say again, if everybody can't read, then

657
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:56.000
<v Speaker 1>that is not that is not a one person problem.

658
00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:59.079
<v Speaker 1>That is a systematic failure. So the look at it

659
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:03.000
<v Speaker 1>on those levels not well, somebody's parents didn't read to them.

660
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:06.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man's if you're saying everybody can't do it,

661
00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:08.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why you're blaming this one this one

662
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:13.440
<v Speaker 1>child's parents. But you know, a lot of people, they'll

663
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.760
<v Speaker 1>blame COVID on anything. They'll blame anything on COVID. So

664
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are like, this came from COVID.

665
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:21.599
<v Speaker 1>I do want I do believe that our soft pants

666
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:24.599
<v Speaker 1>culture definitely came from COVID of it, and like, I

667
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:27.760
<v Speaker 1>want to give it, like maybe five more years, somebody's

668
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.159
<v Speaker 1>jeans are gonna come back real hard. But right now

669
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:35.119
<v Speaker 1>most people wear soft pants. That's what they do. But

670
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:37.480
<v Speaker 1>they're But a lot of people are blaming this dressed

671
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:44.719
<v Speaker 1>down like just overall culture on COVID. But people wear

672
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:48.559
<v Speaker 1>pajamas to school in the nineties, I don't know about

673
00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:51.239
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties, but definitely by the late nineties people

674
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:55.199
<v Speaker 1>were wearing like people wear pajamas to school. My parent,

675
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:57.559
<v Speaker 1>my kids hate me because I don't let them wear

676
00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:01.639
<v Speaker 1>crocs or pajamas to school, uh cause I think it

677
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:05.639
<v Speaker 1>looks ugly. That's I think it looks ugly, and I

678
00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:09.360
<v Speaker 1>think crocs are not everyday's shoes. So you know, they

679
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:13.920
<v Speaker 1>get upset with me. But I and again, the pajamas

680
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:17.960
<v Speaker 1>is the inside school. It's the inside versus outside clothes problem. Like,

681
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and so when they do have pajama day, they're often

682
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:23.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't always buy new pajamas, but if it's time

683
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:25.440
<v Speaker 1>to get to like my kids are growing, like they

684
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:27.599
<v Speaker 1>need new pajamas, I'll go out and buy something. You'll

685
00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:29.519
<v Speaker 1>the first time you wear it will be to school.

686
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:34.639
<v Speaker 1>But in no way, shape or form, are you allowed

687
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:37.719
<v Speaker 1>to wear pajamas to bed, get up and go to

688
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:41.559
<v Speaker 1>school in those pajamas for pajama day? No? No, no,

689
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:43.320
<v Speaker 1>And I know there are people be like, what's the

690
00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:45.840
<v Speaker 1>what's the harm in it? Like? Is this as bad

691
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:49.000
<v Speaker 1>as like I don't know them vaping all the way

692
00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to school? No. If you're like, should like do I

693
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:54.320
<v Speaker 1>want my nine year old vaping? Or do I want

694
00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:57.000
<v Speaker 1>them wearing pajamas to school they slept in, I guess

695
00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna chose to fucking pajamas. But so is it

696
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the worst thing in the world. No, But like, let's

697
00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:05.800
<v Speaker 1>draw some lines in the stand in the sand. We

698
00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:09.440
<v Speaker 1>were a proper country at one point. Bath we wear

699
00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:12.639
<v Speaker 1>clothes that you just put on to school if you can.

700
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I know people are gonna be like, what if I'm disabled,

701
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:17.880
<v Speaker 1>what if I'm poor? Whatever? What if? What if? The

702
00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:20.960
<v Speaker 1>what if they don't have any parents and they're living

703
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:23.679
<v Speaker 1>in a in a h in an abandoned house like

704
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:30.599
<v Speaker 1>Wallace from fucking the wire. Okay, fine, fine, but if

705
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:34.639
<v Speaker 1>you are able to not do that, let let's let's

706
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:38.440
<v Speaker 1>wear clean clothes to school. Le let's try that. Yeah,

707
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I I We're talking a lot of bonnets online right now,

708
00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and I and I'm honest to God think a lot

709
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:48.440
<v Speaker 1>of people who are really really anti bonnet culture, like

710
00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:51.639
<v Speaker 1>you should not be allowed in the wah wah with

711
00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:53.079
<v Speaker 1>your bondy. By the way, if you go to wah

712
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:56.480
<v Speaker 1>wah at fucking midnight to get yourself a little sandwich

713
00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:00.239
<v Speaker 1>and and a uh and a and a little uh smoothie,

714
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:03.719
<v Speaker 1>everybody in there got to pajamas on. Everybody. And I'm

715
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:06.559
<v Speaker 1>not just talking about regular ass like they're wearing pajama

716
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:10.039
<v Speaker 1>pants and a bonnet. I'm talking about ass cheeks are out.

717
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Some of them are just wearing underwear Okay, yeah, they

718
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:17.559
<v Speaker 1>got on fuzzy slippers and they got retainers in their mouth. Everybody,

719
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:21.880
<v Speaker 1>not me, but everybody. So jesus, I don't know, maybe

720
00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:29.159
<v Speaker 1>y'all go over to the wad wan start alway. So

721
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I wanna talk about this, I'm getting like served a

722
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:36.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of content, a lot of posts, a lot of

723
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:42.079
<v Speaker 1>information about people going back and forth about straight women

724
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:45.400
<v Speaker 1>dating by men and whether or not they will and

725
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:48.960
<v Speaker 1>whether or not they won't. In terms of bisexuality, as

726
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:56.639
<v Speaker 1>a bisexual woman is so much less. I don't wanna say,

727
00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:58.719
<v Speaker 1>what do I wanna say the world world? As a

728
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:02.400
<v Speaker 1>bisexual woman, I am less marginalized than a bisexual man.

729
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:06.199
<v Speaker 1>People tolerate bisexuality in women in a way that he

730
00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:09.440
<v Speaker 1>will not in men, And kind of the common theme

731
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:12.079
<v Speaker 1>is like, once you get a taste of dick, you

732
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:15.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want nothing else. But it's weird the way that

733
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:17.559
<v Speaker 1>they're like, if you are a man that's had sex

734
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:19.639
<v Speaker 1>with a man, that's what you really want, And if

735
00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you are a woman that's had sex with a man,

736
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what you really want, even if you have sex

737
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:30.079
<v Speaker 1>with women as well, and you know, by women are

738
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:37.039
<v Speaker 1>definitely like talk shit about in the lesbian community obviously, obviously,

739
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:42.000
<v Speaker 1>because you know, there's plenty of by women that are

740
00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:45.679
<v Speaker 1>only bisexual in service of a man. Okay, there's plenty

741
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:48.159
<v Speaker 1>of there's plenty of a cosplaying, by the way, but

742
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:54.440
<v Speaker 1>in terms of by men, a lot of heterosexual women

743
00:44:54.480 --> 00:45:01.119
<v Speaker 1>will not date them, and they get plenty of reasons. Uh.

744
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:09.559
<v Speaker 1>A lot of them cite STDs and HIV, uh, the

745
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:15.800
<v Speaker 1>downlow culture and really a lot of stuff, a lot

746
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:17.960
<v Speaker 1>of stuff that happened like the early fucking nineties, right.

747
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't want a date to buy a

748
00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:27.960
<v Speaker 1>band cause I don't wanna get HIV, which is that's

749
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:32.719
<v Speaker 1>a problematic thing to say. Uh. One, you absolutely can

750
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:35.360
<v Speaker 1>get a std from anybody, literally anybody. You get a

751
00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:37.239
<v Speaker 1>std F from somebody EVE been married to for twenty

752
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:40.320
<v Speaker 1>years if you want to. It's possible. A lot of

753
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:43.440
<v Speaker 1>women end up at the at the clinic wondering why

754
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:47.360
<v Speaker 1>things are different. You really could get it from anybody.

755
00:45:48.119 --> 00:45:54.719
<v Speaker 1>And so, you know, having this idea that that gay sex,

756
00:45:55.559 --> 00:46:03.840
<v Speaker 1>because gay sex does not have the the threat of pregnancy,

757
00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:11.400
<v Speaker 1>that this idea that every person antic that in that

758
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:16.239
<v Speaker 1>participates on male or male sex is not using condoms.

759
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:18.760
<v Speaker 1>They are spreading STDs amongst each other, and then you

760
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:22.079
<v Speaker 1>will get it as well if your man is by

761
00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:26.760
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a really problematic take, but that's what somebody.

762
00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:29.800
<v Speaker 1>That's what people bring up. Also, when I just said

763
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:31.920
<v Speaker 1>this idea that if he had a little bit of

764
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:34.400
<v Speaker 1>dick that's what he actually wants, you can't. You can't

765
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:36.920
<v Speaker 1>have any dick and go back. You just can't. Once

766
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you go dick, you're that's what you stick. So uh yeah.

767
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:50.199
<v Speaker 1>And then often this you know, this idea that men

768
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:53.440
<v Speaker 1>who have sex with men are not real men, and

769
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:56.440
<v Speaker 1>so they're having this conversation. A lot of women, a

770
00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:59.079
<v Speaker 1>lot of heterosexual women will not date vib men. And

771
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the question has been, you know, is this homophobic or biophobic?

772
00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:09.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think the answer is yes. And I think

773
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:12.119
<v Speaker 1>that's so I don't I think that's okay to admit.

774
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying it's okay to be homophobic. Please don't

775
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:20.039
<v Speaker 1>misunderstanding me. I think that when you have a visceral

776
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:23.000
<v Speaker 1>reaction to something like that and someone goes, yeah, that's

777
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a that you know, that's like homophobia, that's ingrained home momophobia,

778
00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:35.239
<v Speaker 1>internalized homophobia, externalized homophobia. I think people don't want to

779
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:37.360
<v Speaker 1>ever be wrong, and they don't want to ever be

780
00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:39.639
<v Speaker 1>a problem. They don't want to ever be the problem.

781
00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:41.920
<v Speaker 1>They don't want to ever have been wrong and fix it.

782
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:43.960
<v Speaker 1>They don't want any of those things. But I think

783
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:50.719
<v Speaker 1>someone explained to you that what you're saying has underlying

784
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:54.760
<v Speaker 1>homophobic tone to it. That's an excellent reason for you

785
00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:56.920
<v Speaker 1>to unpack and like be like, Okay, so why do

786
00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I think this? Like, for me, I don't have a problem.

787
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm dating by men, all right. I think the issue

788
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:06.440
<v Speaker 1>for by people in general is that people think you'll

789
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:08.480
<v Speaker 1>never be satisfied and I could be cheating on them

790
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:11.320
<v Speaker 1>with the other gender. I think a lot of people cheat.

791
00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm always expecting people to cheat, So so that's not

792
00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:16.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a problem. You know what, I what, I

793
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:21.039
<v Speaker 1>am not into fem men. I'm not even the fem

794
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:25.880
<v Speaker 1>men and I like just off the deck. It's just

795
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:28.159
<v Speaker 1>not something I'm attracted to. And you know what, that

796
00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:33.000
<v Speaker 1>probably is internalized misogyny. That's probably what that is. It

797
00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:35.360
<v Speaker 1>might even be a little bit of homophobia. But this

798
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:39.920
<v Speaker 1>reaction that I have to like literally not being attracted

799
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:46.320
<v Speaker 1>to a man, how would I say, I don't I

800
00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:49.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know how I want to phrase this, because I don't.

801
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:54.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm not excluding any gender expression like that's not really

802
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:57.360
<v Speaker 1>an issue for me. I am like I am what

803
00:48:59.519 --> 00:49:03.639
<v Speaker 1>I am what my children refer to as omnisexual. I'd like,

804
00:49:03.639 --> 00:49:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't really care. I really care about

805
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:08.639
<v Speaker 1>the way you bring it to me. I'm not really

806
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:12.679
<v Speaker 1>like caring about what's between your legs. But in terms

807
00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:17.440
<v Speaker 1>of a male expression that also has a large fem

808
00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:22.800
<v Speaker 1>side to it, I'm not really into it. And that's

809
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:25.400
<v Speaker 1>what it is. I don't like. I don't. I don't

810
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:28.280
<v Speaker 1>like males with with short hair, I mean with long hair,

811
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:30.880
<v Speaker 1>even though my husband's been growing his locks a lot.

812
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:36.679
<v Speaker 1>And I generally do not like a fem presenting person.

813
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about studs. I'm talking about a fem

814
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:43.159
<v Speaker 1>presenting person with short hair. And what is that? Probably

815
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:48.119
<v Speaker 1>massage any guys, Probably an underlining a homophobic idea that's

816
00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:51.239
<v Speaker 1>deep down in my psyche. What is it about it?

817
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:53.960
<v Speaker 1>But here's so. What am I gonna do about it?

818
00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Not a lot I can think about it. I can

819
00:49:55.880 --> 00:49:58.360
<v Speaker 1>try to unpack it. But you're attracted to who you're

820
00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:01.639
<v Speaker 1>attracted to, if you are or not if you have

821
00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:05.320
<v Speaker 1>never in your life been attracted to a fat person

822
00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:09.079
<v Speaker 1>or someone in a larger body, and you are writing

823
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:14.320
<v Speaker 1>in your tender profile no fats, that is fat phobic,

824
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you are free to beat. You are free to do that.

825
00:50:18.119 --> 00:50:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Though nobody's saying you have to date fat people. Nobody's

826
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:24.519
<v Speaker 1>saying you have to date Asian people, nobody's saying you

827
00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:28.039
<v Speaker 1>have to date disabled people. No one's saying you have

828
00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:29.519
<v Speaker 1>to do any of that stuff. And I think that's

829
00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:31.440
<v Speaker 1>what part of what the discourse is a lot of

830
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:33.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people who have those feelings that I'm

831
00:50:33.320 --> 00:50:35.639
<v Speaker 1>never gonna date a by person because of these reasons.

832
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Often the reasons they are dipped in homophobia. They think

833
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:47.119
<v Speaker 1>that the people that are pushing back on that are

834
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:49.840
<v Speaker 1>saying no, no, no, you have to no, you don't.

835
00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:51.639
<v Speaker 1>You get to date whoever you want to. There are

836
00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:53.719
<v Speaker 1>no politics in the bedroom. There are no politics in

837
00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:56.280
<v Speaker 1>your pants. A little bit of politics, a little bit

838
00:50:56.320 --> 00:51:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of politics consent thing adults, that's some politics, but there

839
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:11.639
<v Speaker 1>are really no politics in your pants. Okay, but what

840
00:51:11.719 --> 00:51:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you do what's in your pants does tell us more

841
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:19.400
<v Speaker 1>about who you are. It's not all you are, but

842
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:21.800
<v Speaker 1>it does tell us about who you are. If you

843
00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:25.280
<v Speaker 1>are someone who is a card carrying feminist and you

844
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:31.079
<v Speaker 1>are deeply in love with a good old maga boy

845
00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:38.039
<v Speaker 1>and you are in that relationship, it does say something

846
00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:41.760
<v Speaker 1>about your values. It does say something about what you're

847
00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:47.119
<v Speaker 1>willing to excuse and not And I think if you

848
00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:49.239
<v Speaker 1>hear that, you're like, oh, you're calling me a bad person.

849
00:51:49.320 --> 00:51:52.679
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say that. I said that if you are

850
00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:58.880
<v Speaker 1>sleeping with someone who is homophobic, calling yourself an ally

851
00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:01.360
<v Speaker 1>is probably not the move. You can't be an ally

852
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:04.559
<v Speaker 1>if you're fucking somebody homophobic, you just can't. Also, allies

853
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a verb kinda now, like what are you doing to

854
00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:12.360
<v Speaker 1>be an ally? And the same like, the same goes

855
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:16.519
<v Speaker 1>if you are someone who is of color and you're

856
00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:21.039
<v Speaker 1>only attracted to white people, there's something going on there.

857
00:52:21.199 --> 00:52:24.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying you gotta stop, because I'm not in

858
00:52:24.320 --> 00:52:25.800
<v Speaker 1>charge of who you get to fuck. Who you wanna

859
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:28.159
<v Speaker 1>fuck as song as they want to fuck you back, Okay,

860
00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:37.239
<v Speaker 1>consent song as they're adults. But yeah, like that's not

861
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:42.199
<v Speaker 1>the thing. We have all kinds of shit inside of

862
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:47.440
<v Speaker 1>us that are that are affecting our are our decisions,

863
00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and if someone points those things out to you, and

864
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:54.480
<v Speaker 1>your first thing is, oh, I'm a bad person. So

865
00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:57.400
<v Speaker 1>you say I'm a bad person. You're missing the points there.

866
00:52:57.840 --> 00:53:01.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, this journey of life is to observe ourselves,

867
00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:05.360
<v Speaker 1>get to know ourselves better, unpack our things, and it

868
00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:08.880
<v Speaker 1>may not change your actions, but kind of trying to

869
00:53:08.960 --> 00:53:11.840
<v Speaker 1>understand how and why we do what we do is

870
00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:15.360
<v Speaker 1>really important. It's hard, though, so I understand why dumb

871
00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:19.400
<v Speaker 1>people don't want to do it, but it's important. And

872
00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I just told you that when I think of the

873
00:53:25.480 --> 00:53:29.960
<v Speaker 1>things i'm attracted to, I am not generally attracted to

874
00:53:33.159 --> 00:53:36.920
<v Speaker 1>fem men. I'm just really not. And that does not

875
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:40.880
<v Speaker 1>mean I need to go out and date one. First

876
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:42.440
<v Speaker 1>of all, I don't. My husband doesn't let me date

877
00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:46.800
<v Speaker 1>uh party pooper. But it doesn't mean I need to

878
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:49.400
<v Speaker 1>go date one. It just needs to I need maybe

879
00:53:49.400 --> 00:53:54.840
<v Speaker 1>ask myself a few more questions about it, and if

880
00:53:54.880 --> 00:54:00.519
<v Speaker 1>those like hidden or unconscious beliefs are there, why or

881
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:06.400
<v Speaker 1>else are they showing up? Get curious about it. I

882
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:10.079
<v Speaker 1>really respect people that when you're like, well, I think

883
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that might be a little ablest and they go, okay,

884
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:17.760
<v Speaker 1>it might be like instead of like immediately trying to

885
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:21.159
<v Speaker 1>prove that it's not. I really respect people that are

886
00:54:21.199 --> 00:54:25.119
<v Speaker 1>just like, I'm not there yet. I'm sorry. I like,

887
00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:30.960
<v Speaker 1>logically I know these things, but I just I'm not there.

888
00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't think I could be with a

889
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:39.000
<v Speaker 1>by person. I respect that because you know your limitations

890
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:44.440
<v Speaker 1>and you are standing in what is rather than what

891
00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:48.480
<v Speaker 1>should be. And I want I rather you tell me

892
00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:50.480
<v Speaker 1>what it is as opposed to what you wish it

893
00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:52.159
<v Speaker 1>was right. I want to talk about the truth. I

894
00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:56.960
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about now and instead of trying to

895
00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:58.840
<v Speaker 1>piss on me and tell me it's raining and it's

896
00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:03.760
<v Speaker 1>something else. You know, yeah, I did. I don't think

897
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:06.679
<v Speaker 1>that discourse is about you need to start dating by man.

898
00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's what that is. I think the

899
00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:13.000
<v Speaker 1>discourse is more about you need to ask yourself why

900
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:18.159
<v Speaker 1>the thought of dating a by man is so abhorrent

901
00:55:18.280 --> 00:55:22.599
<v Speaker 1>to you? You know, all right, we're almost done. We

902
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:24.880
<v Speaker 1>were hitting an hour. Let's let's finish this up. Let's

903
00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:27.119
<v Speaker 1>talk about Nara Smith. She was on call her daddy

904
00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:31.400
<v Speaker 1>where meteor Licy goes to die. I saw that somebody

905
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:34.440
<v Speaker 1>said that on TikTok so I still wo it. Sorry,

906
00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:38.719
<v Speaker 1>but it's good true repeating it you gonna call her

907
00:55:38.760 --> 00:55:41.800
<v Speaker 1>daddy because they're not gonna ask you no hard questions,

908
00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:48.679
<v Speaker 1>no pushback, and it's it's like doing an interview in

909
00:55:48.679 --> 00:55:50.800
<v Speaker 1>People magazine. You know what I'm saying, like like you

910
00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:52.920
<v Speaker 1>get to you, you'll get to get your you'll get

911
00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:54.639
<v Speaker 1>to get your points off, no problem, You'll get to

912
00:55:54.639 --> 00:55:57.039
<v Speaker 1>be portrayed the way you want to betrayed, be portrayed.

913
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:02.280
<v Speaker 1>It's notournalism. It's a talk show, which I don't think

914
00:56:02.320 --> 00:56:05.679
<v Speaker 1>anybody on anybody looks at call her daddy and thinks, wow,

915
00:56:06.280 --> 00:56:09.199
<v Speaker 1>this is a journalist show. I don't think it's a

916
00:56:09.239 --> 00:56:11.159
<v Speaker 1>talk show. It's a talk show. It's like going on Ellen,

917
00:56:11.199 --> 00:56:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Ellen's not gonna ask you no fucking hard questions about

918
00:56:13.480 --> 00:56:18.559
<v Speaker 1>why your kids on the internet singing? Ellen's talking tonnavite

919
00:56:18.599 --> 00:56:22.039
<v Speaker 1>you there because your kids singing got eighty million hits

920
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:23.960
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube. And then when you sit down and be

921
00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:28.079
<v Speaker 1>like do you think children should be on the internet?

922
00:56:28.079 --> 00:56:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Did your child consent to that? That's how Ellen's gonna

923
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:33.039
<v Speaker 1>ask you. She's gonna be like all of the songs

924
00:56:33.039 --> 00:56:35.639
<v Speaker 1>that she know. That's that's a talk show. It's not

925
00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, and so call her daddy. Is fine for

926
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:41.519
<v Speaker 1>what it is, but Nara Smith was on there, and

927
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Nara Smith, I want to say, since twenty twenty, has

928
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:47.760
<v Speaker 1>been on the internet doing a lot of like, uh,

929
00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:54.239
<v Speaker 1>trad wife content, and I would say that her and

930
00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Ballerina Farm are the top like trad wife influencers. I

931
00:56:59.039 --> 00:57:01.320
<v Speaker 1>can't name a bunch of because that's just not the

932
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:03.360
<v Speaker 1>way my algorithm is set up. That's not something I'm

933
00:57:03.400 --> 00:57:08.840
<v Speaker 1>interested in. She is married to a guy whose name

934
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:10.559
<v Speaker 1>I know but I can't say right now because I

935
00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:14.679
<v Speaker 1>can't remember it, who comes from a very wealthy Mormon family.

936
00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:21.400
<v Speaker 1>She's deeped in Mormon culture, and her stick was to

937
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:26.400
<v Speaker 1>do these weird voiceovers and get on get on camera

938
00:57:26.480 --> 00:57:31.840
<v Speaker 1>in very expensive fashion clothes and show how she's making

939
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:34.760
<v Speaker 1>a fruit roll up from scratch while holding a baby.

940
00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:40.800
<v Speaker 1>And she was often dressed in prairie chic farmhouse stuff.

941
00:57:40.840 --> 00:57:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was expensive, but that's what she was wearing.

942
00:57:44.639 --> 00:57:49.920
<v Speaker 1>And I mean she was the center of the tradwife conversation.

943
00:57:50.039 --> 00:57:53.280
<v Speaker 1>She was one of the center temples of it. And

944
00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:56.159
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty six, she's gonna call her daddy saying

945
00:57:56.239 --> 00:58:03.199
<v Speaker 1>that she never she never was promoting tradwife propaganda and

946
00:58:04.400 --> 00:58:07.159
<v Speaker 1>which is a crazy thing to say. Uh, she was

947
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:10.440
<v Speaker 1>using the hashtag. It was in every piece of media

948
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:14.280
<v Speaker 1>about her, it was in her comments, it was all

949
00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:17.679
<v Speaker 1>and she's she's like reading off of her phone. First

950
00:58:17.679 --> 00:58:23.000
<v Speaker 1>of all, she's dressed like I don't know she She's

951
00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:28.239
<v Speaker 1>dressed like the black best friend on like a CBS

952
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:32.239
<v Speaker 1>comedy where they all like live above a coffee shop

953
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:34.360
<v Speaker 1>or some shit. That's what. That's what she's dressed like.

954
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:37.440
<v Speaker 1>She's wearing like jeans and a and a and a

955
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:40.480
<v Speaker 1>sweater and a like like nothing like how she normally

956
00:58:40.519 --> 00:58:43.760
<v Speaker 1>her branding normally is right. She and she's reading off

957
00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:45.719
<v Speaker 1>and then she's like, I'm in LA, I'm a content

958
00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:51.039
<v Speaker 1>for I'm an influencer. I'm I don't do dishes. Lucky does.

959
00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:54.800
<v Speaker 1>His name is Lucky something. Lucky does the dishes. I

960
00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:56.800
<v Speaker 1>have a nanny. I've told people have a nanny. I'm

961
00:58:56.800 --> 00:59:03.840
<v Speaker 1>a working mom, and stop fucking playing with me, Nara,

962
00:59:04.159 --> 00:59:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Like I do know that she's mentioned she had a

963
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:12.719
<v Speaker 1>a a nanny. That is not the same you mentioning

964
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that when you had one of one of She's only

965
00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:17.519
<v Speaker 1>twenty four years old. By the way, you mentioning that

966
00:59:17.559 --> 00:59:19.440
<v Speaker 1>when you had I won it was her fourth child.

967
00:59:20.679 --> 00:59:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Is not the same as you portraying yourself as a

968
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:28.519
<v Speaker 1>working mom. You really were. And maybe it's maybe it's true.

969
00:59:28.519 --> 00:59:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Maybe in the background he cleans the house. I don't

970
00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:32.719
<v Speaker 1>think so. You probably have a cleaner's but it's fine.

971
00:59:32.920 --> 00:59:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you have more of an equitable relationship. But that's

972
00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:38.239
<v Speaker 1>not what you were doing on the internet. And for

973
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:41.199
<v Speaker 1>you to pretend like you don't understand why people were

974
00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:49.400
<v Speaker 1>were saying that you were promoting trad wife content is

975
00:59:49.440 --> 00:59:52.880
<v Speaker 1>fucking crazy. It's fucking crazy. Like if we go back

976
00:59:53.400 --> 00:59:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and wat and watch the instances of you on the

977
00:59:55.880 --> 01:00:01.400
<v Speaker 1>internet holding a baby while also making a pie and

978
01:00:02.440 --> 01:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about how great it is that you got married

979
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>at like nineteen years old, started popping out fucking babies

980
01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and you stay at home and you take don't stop,

981
01:00:10.639 --> 01:00:13.519
<v Speaker 1>stop stop. I know a lot of people are big

982
01:00:13.559 --> 01:00:15.719
<v Speaker 1>fans of her. I think a lot of people are

983
01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:17.760
<v Speaker 1>defending her in this way that like she's a woman

984
01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:22.079
<v Speaker 1>of color, and they think that she's being like brought

985
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>down because of that. This is not true. What it

986
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>is is that as our country has been rolling back

987
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>uh laws and rights and understandings and and things and

988
01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>privileges for women. As we have seen a huge rise

989
01:00:38.880 --> 01:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>in conservative conservative culture, and we have been inundated with

990
01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>with propaganda about how you don't wanna work for the man,

991
01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>work for your husband, stay at home, you don't wanna

992
01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>go to a job, you don't y, you want somebody

993
01:00:55.880 --> 01:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>else raising your kids like that sort of shit. And

994
01:00:59.519 --> 01:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that part of media literacy is understanding that

995
01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the content you're served up on these social medias, combined

996
01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:19.960
<v Speaker 1>with do you guys remember like two years ago when

997
01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:23.079
<v Speaker 1>every store you went in people are wearing like a

998
01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:25.519
<v Speaker 1>little house on a prairie sheet, Like you could not

999
01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>go in a store without getting the ugliest prairie fucking

1000
01:01:29.559 --> 01:01:39.679
<v Speaker 1>dress right rolling back abortion, writes nara On with millions

1001
01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>and millions of followers and brand identity online basically implying

1002
01:01:49.159 --> 01:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to say it. You were implying that

1003
01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:58.039
<v Speaker 1>it is very easy to make homemade fruit roll ups

1004
01:01:58.079 --> 01:02:00.199
<v Speaker 1>and take care of your children and homeschool them and

1005
01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:03.039
<v Speaker 1>reef in the Bible, and this is the life that

1006
01:02:03.079 --> 01:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>people should have. This is what it's in. Being an

1007
01:02:05.480 --> 01:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>influencer is being an influencer is not just living your

1008
01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>particular life out loud as, as a lot of them

1009
01:02:13.639 --> 01:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>will tell you. It is also influencing other people to

1010
01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:22.679
<v Speaker 1>do things. It's sales. Okay. There are all kinds of

1011
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:24.880
<v Speaker 1>content that you can make. Being an influencer and being

1012
01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:27.599
<v Speaker 1>a content maker a content creator not the same thing.

1013
01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:31.519
<v Speaker 1>There's all type of content you can make that is

1014
01:02:31.559 --> 01:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily about influencing someone's purchase, uh decisions, someone's life decisions,

1015
01:02:40.079 --> 01:02:42.039
<v Speaker 1>that that sort of stuff. That is I some of

1016
01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>this is very I you can make content about around

1017
01:02:45.719 --> 01:02:49.039
<v Speaker 1>sister wives and you're not an influencer. Uh. You may

1018
01:02:49.079 --> 01:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>be talking about ideas, you may be talking about recapping shows.

1019
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not the same as being an influencer. Narsmith is

1020
01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:58.559
<v Speaker 1>a fucking influencer, okay. And for her to show up

1021
01:02:58.599 --> 01:03:03.039
<v Speaker 1>here sick years later and be like, I don't know,

1022
01:03:03.119 --> 01:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where people got that from. I know

1023
01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I hashtag it. I know I never said don't get

1024
01:03:08.760 --> 01:03:13.559
<v Speaker 1>an education. I never said that, Like, come on, And

1025
01:03:14.119 --> 01:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that a part of the discourse I've been

1026
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:20.039
<v Speaker 1>seeing is that people saying that she has a right

1027
01:03:20.119 --> 01:03:22.320
<v Speaker 1>to live her life the way she wants to. She does,

1028
01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:28.599
<v Speaker 1>she absolutely does, but we're not talking about individual decisions. Right.

1029
01:03:31.079 --> 01:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Individual decisions are the microcosm. I'm talking macros, I'm talking overall.

1030
01:03:35.800 --> 01:03:41.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking systematic. You know, I have a million white

1031
01:03:41.079 --> 01:03:44.079
<v Speaker 1>friends and family members, and I have great relationships with

1032
01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Those relationships do not preclude racism. They don't do anything

1033
01:03:49.719 --> 01:03:56.519
<v Speaker 1>to systematic racism. Right You, having a wonderful relationship with

1034
01:03:56.559 --> 01:04:02.079
<v Speaker 1>your male partner does not mean that you have escaped patriarchy.

1035
01:04:02.159 --> 01:04:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Patriarchy is systematic. It's in the air, we breathe, we're

1036
01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:09.679
<v Speaker 1>marinating in it every day. You still will be affected

1037
01:04:09.719 --> 01:04:12.239
<v Speaker 1>by it. The fact that you got my husband is

1038
01:04:12.280 --> 01:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>cooked every day this week and will be cooking most

1039
01:04:14.760 --> 01:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>of next week. That does not change the nature, the

1040
01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:25.719
<v Speaker 1>overall nature of patriarchy. Lots of micro cosms changed the macro.

1041
01:04:26.320 --> 01:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>But it's not a It's not you and then me

1042
01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and then that girl over here and everything's changed. It is.

1043
01:04:33.039 --> 01:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>It has to be an overwhelming change, and the systems

1044
01:04:36.800 --> 01:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>that uphold these things are there. And Nara herself is

1045
01:04:45.800 --> 01:04:52.199
<v Speaker 1>not the problem. The propaganda that Nara is sending out

1046
01:04:52.280 --> 01:04:55.199
<v Speaker 1>to everybody else is the problem. The influence she has

1047
01:04:55.280 --> 01:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>is the problem. And you are responsible for your platform.

1048
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what this reminds me of this is

1049
01:05:02.440 --> 01:05:06.280
<v Speaker 1>probably fucking Jenny McCarthy. Remember how Jenny McCarthy was the

1050
01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>number one vaccines make kids autistic? Vaccines make kid autistic,

1051
01:05:12.800 --> 01:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and I rather my kid be dead than autistic. Remember

1052
01:05:15.519 --> 01:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>that shit. That's not exactly what she said, but but

1053
01:05:17.840 --> 01:05:21.079
<v Speaker 1>she was on every talk show. She was constantly on

1054
01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the was she on Howard, she was on Serious. That's

1055
01:05:24.280 --> 01:05:27.079
<v Speaker 1>not Howray Stern's shit. Harry Stern is the biggest on

1056
01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:29.599
<v Speaker 1>siious and probably has a large share of it. But

1057
01:05:29.679 --> 01:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>she she had a serious show about it. She I didnk.

1058
01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:36.239
<v Speaker 1>At one point, she had a talk show, she was

1059
01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:42.199
<v Speaker 1>writing books. She she was the face of do not vaccine,

1060
01:05:42.320 --> 01:05:45.719
<v Speaker 1>vaccinate your kids. And then I feel like, five years later,

1061
01:05:46.840 --> 01:05:51.599
<v Speaker 1>after all all this shit is happening, she comes out

1062
01:05:51.639 --> 01:05:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and be like, well, I didn't say vacs done, vaccinate

1063
01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:59.159
<v Speaker 1>your kids. I just said that mine is autistic and

1064
01:05:59.199 --> 01:06:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the vaccines did it. I know it. I don't have

1065
01:06:01.360 --> 01:06:04.239
<v Speaker 1>any proof. I don't have any scientific papers, I don't

1066
01:06:04.239 --> 01:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>have any work. I don't have anybody but that one

1067
01:06:06.599 --> 01:06:09.039
<v Speaker 1>dude that says it that has been debunked many time.

1068
01:06:09.119 --> 01:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't have nothing, but I think that's what happened.

1069
01:06:11.320 --> 01:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>And I've been saying it everywhere I fucking say it

1070
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:19.079
<v Speaker 1>for five or seven years, and I know that there

1071
01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:20.159
<v Speaker 1>are some people who are like, well, I don't know

1072
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:21.559
<v Speaker 1>why you're getting on her, cause she was just talking

1073
01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:24.280
<v Speaker 1>about her own experience. When you have influence over others,

1074
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:27.239
<v Speaker 1>you have a bigger responsibility. I think that right now.

1075
01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:29.599
<v Speaker 1>Like so, when I'm seeing like the backlash about this,

1076
01:06:30.559 --> 01:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>besides people mistaking personal choices with systematic issues, I'm seeing

1077
01:06:36.880 --> 01:06:38.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people being like, well, she's doing that

1078
01:06:38.639 --> 01:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>because the trad Wife is not as is not as

1079
01:06:41.440 --> 01:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>popular as it used to be, and blah blah blah blah. No, no, no, no,

1080
01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:46.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's true. I don't think that's true.

1081
01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I don't think trad Wife is going

1082
01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:56.199
<v Speaker 1>anywhere for a while. I don't think that's true. I

1083
01:06:56.239 --> 01:07:02.679
<v Speaker 1>think she's about to announce a divorce. Is what's gonna happen.

1084
01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not, maybe not in three weeks, maybe not in

1085
01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:09.679
<v Speaker 1>six months, but I I think by the end of

1086
01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six, we're gonna be hearing about them having

1087
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>problems and they're they're gonna split. In twenty twenty seven,

1088
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>at the very I think that she is prepping for

1089
01:07:18.360 --> 01:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>her next her next stage in life, the way her

1090
01:07:22.400 --> 01:07:27.039
<v Speaker 1>branding needs to change. And I also wanna, like I said,

1091
01:07:27.079 --> 01:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people in the comments are like, well,

1092
01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:30.400
<v Speaker 1>she says she had a nanny. Nobody didn't think she

1093
01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:32.719
<v Speaker 1>had any Well, some of you dummies did, but nobody

1094
01:07:32.719 --> 01:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't think that. As as as we've been telling you

1095
01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>for years that lady has a job. That's a working

1096
01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:42.599
<v Speaker 1>mom right there. She's a content maker. She makes content.

1097
01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:46.719
<v Speaker 1>You think she makes content and edits and does all

1098
01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>this shit. And she's not a working mom. She needs help,

1099
01:07:49.159 --> 01:07:52.079
<v Speaker 1>of course she does. She is not what she is

1100
01:07:52.119 --> 01:07:56.159
<v Speaker 1>pretending to be because she has to have domestic help.

1101
01:07:56.280 --> 01:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>She is away on work trips. She is a working mom.

1102
01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:11.599
<v Speaker 1>She's pretending for money and also influencing people. And again,

1103
01:08:11.639 --> 01:08:13.119
<v Speaker 1>I just want to make sure that you're not hearing

1104
01:08:13.119 --> 01:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>something I'm not saying. This is not about should you

1105
01:08:16.119 --> 01:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>be a stay at home mom? This is not about

1106
01:08:19.359 --> 01:08:25.359
<v Speaker 1>are you girl bossing it up? Right, which is also

1107
01:08:25.439 --> 01:08:29.039
<v Speaker 1>a problem. Right. This is not about those things. This

1108
01:08:29.159 --> 01:08:35.840
<v Speaker 1>is about whether we as a society are going to

1109
01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:40.279
<v Speaker 1>allow people to portray certain life choices in a way

1110
01:08:40.319 --> 01:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>that they're not and that end up as a typical

1111
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:51.079
<v Speaker 1>outcome being harmful to women and influencing and trying to

1112
01:08:51.119 --> 01:08:54.079
<v Speaker 1>convince women that the last thing you want to do

1113
01:08:54.840 --> 01:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>is have to clock in somewhere, stay at home, let

1114
01:08:59.439 --> 01:09:02.199
<v Speaker 1>rely on man to take care of you. And then

1115
01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:08.479
<v Speaker 1>when they roll back, when they roll back, uh, no

1116
01:09:08.600 --> 01:09:11.279
<v Speaker 1>fault divorce, you can't get rid of them, can't get

1117
01:09:11.279 --> 01:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>out of the fucking divorce because because you have to

1118
01:09:13.800 --> 01:09:15.279
<v Speaker 1>prove while you want to get out of the divorce

1119
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:20.279
<v Speaker 1>and be stuck in these situations that often turn abusive,

1120
01:09:20.479 --> 01:09:26.159
<v Speaker 1>but in general really beat women down. That's that's what

1121
01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:31.159
<v Speaker 1>that's about. I think some people make really good stay

1122
01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:33.319
<v Speaker 1>at home moms. I think you have to write temperament

1123
01:09:33.359 --> 01:09:35.199
<v Speaker 1>for it, and I think a lot of you don't, right,

1124
01:09:35.960 --> 01:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of you fucking don't because being

1125
01:09:37.840 --> 01:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a stay at home mom is a lot of fucking work.

1126
01:09:40.119 --> 01:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think it's easy if you're not doing

1127
01:09:41.920 --> 01:09:44.119
<v Speaker 1>it correctly. I think it's easy if you're not doing much.

1128
01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:47.119
<v Speaker 1>But I guess you know, there's no there's no prize

1129
01:09:47.119 --> 01:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>for who's the most fucking tired, So I guess, do you, babe.

1130
01:09:52.239 --> 01:09:54.199
<v Speaker 1>But it's a lot of hard work. It's not the

1131
01:09:54.279 --> 01:09:57.159
<v Speaker 1>easy way out in any way. And then we also

1132
01:09:57.159 --> 01:10:03.199
<v Speaker 1>have to think about how child care and the wage

1133
01:10:03.239 --> 01:10:06.680
<v Speaker 1>gap and those sorts of things affect women's ability to earn.

1134
01:10:06.840 --> 01:10:12.560
<v Speaker 1>And some people are at home because that's that's the

1135
01:10:14.199 --> 01:10:17.359
<v Speaker 1>smartest choice from the make right now. I also think

1136
01:10:17.399 --> 01:10:20.439
<v Speaker 1>that even that that type of content Balerie of Farm

1137
01:10:20.920 --> 01:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Nara Smith, I think that that type of content is

1138
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:29.439
<v Speaker 1>even harmful to people who want to be homemakers and

1139
01:10:29.439 --> 01:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>stay at home mothers and and that's what they want

1140
01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:34.159
<v Speaker 1>to be doing. I think it's harmful to them too,

1141
01:10:34.199 --> 01:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>because it makes it seem like that's how it is, like,

1142
01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>if you can't make a pie while while holding a baby,

1143
01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:47.880
<v Speaker 1>then what the fuck is wrong with you? They are

1144
01:10:48.399 --> 01:10:53.159
<v Speaker 1>showing you a lifestyle that is impossible to have with

1145
01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:57.439
<v Speaker 1>what they are showing you. Right, this is like, I

1146
01:10:57.479 --> 01:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know a fitness influencer trying to convince you if

1147
01:11:00.760 --> 01:11:04.159
<v Speaker 1>you buy their creatine and their supplements and you do

1148
01:11:04.239 --> 01:11:06.279
<v Speaker 1>their workout that you will look like them when a

1149
01:11:06.319 --> 01:11:08.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of them look like that because of genetics, and

1150
01:11:08.359 --> 01:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot more look like that because of plastic surgery.

1151
01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:15.239
<v Speaker 1>Do you, and they're claiming they're eating like fucking four

1152
01:11:15.279 --> 01:11:20.479
<v Speaker 1>thousand calories a day and they're not, and they're trying

1153
01:11:20.479 --> 01:11:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to sell you this lifestyle along with whatever product they're

1154
01:11:24.640 --> 01:11:27.199
<v Speaker 1>trying to sell. I think it's harmful too. And I

1155
01:11:27.239 --> 01:11:34.479
<v Speaker 1>think I think this grift, this treadwife grift, is it's

1156
01:11:34.479 --> 01:11:38.079
<v Speaker 1>harmful on a personal level to people looking at that

1157
01:11:38.159 --> 01:11:41.880
<v Speaker 1>and being like, wait, why isn't that working for me?

1158
01:11:42.279 --> 01:11:44.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's harmful on a macro level when

1159
01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>we talk about the way our systems interact and what

1160
01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:53.439
<v Speaker 1>our rights will look like in twenty years? Right, what

1161
01:11:53.439 --> 01:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>what what our legal system, our society, our privileges and

1162
01:11:58.920 --> 01:12:04.680
<v Speaker 1>rights will look like in twenty years Because a whole

1163
01:12:04.760 --> 01:12:07.439
<v Speaker 1>generation of people who grew up watching somebody like Nara

1164
01:12:07.520 --> 01:12:10.279
<v Speaker 1>Smith pretend like she was like she was at home

1165
01:12:10.319 --> 01:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>grinding butter and and being perfectly happy making homemade fruit

1166
01:12:16.680 --> 01:12:19.079
<v Speaker 1>roll ups. I really fucking hate that homemade fruit roll

1167
01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:21.479
<v Speaker 1>ups thing. And here's the thing. It's not the homemade

1168
01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:26.439
<v Speaker 1>for roll ups. It's not that. It's not that because

1169
01:12:26.520 --> 01:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it might be cool if somebody showed me

1170
01:12:27.920 --> 01:12:29.399
<v Speaker 1>how to make a homemaate fruit roll up, I'm probably

1171
01:12:29.399 --> 01:12:30.640
<v Speaker 1>not gonna do it. And if I do it, i'll

1172
01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:31.960
<v Speaker 1>do it once which will be a complaint in my

1173
01:12:31.960 --> 01:12:36.159
<v Speaker 1>house because I like to conquer recipes. I like do

1174
01:12:36.239 --> 01:12:39.680
<v Speaker 1>shit one time and do it real well, or do

1175
01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:41.399
<v Speaker 1>it until I do it really well one time, and

1176
01:12:41.399 --> 01:12:42.560
<v Speaker 1>then I'm like, well, that's it. I don't need to

1177
01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:45.439
<v Speaker 1>ever need to make that again. I think that might

1178
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>be very cool content for a certain type of person,

1179
01:12:47.920 --> 01:12:54.399
<v Speaker 1>without the sneaky conservative propaganda also snuck in there, you know.

1180
01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>But Ry, I'm really pissed off about it's her, I

1181
01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:03.039
<v Speaker 1>can We're a bunch of fucking idiots. I never said that.

1182
01:13:06.560 --> 01:13:10.279
<v Speaker 1>This is what they mean by media literacy or literacy

1183
01:13:10.359 --> 01:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>crisis in general, is can you read the words? Okay,

1184
01:13:15.760 --> 01:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not can you read the words? It's can you

1185
01:13:17.920 --> 01:13:21.079
<v Speaker 1>infer things from the words? Can you look at this

1186
01:13:21.199 --> 01:13:25.439
<v Speaker 1>and can you determ whether this is a reliable narrator

1187
01:13:25.560 --> 01:13:29.479
<v Speaker 1>or not? Can you read the underlying tones between the words?

1188
01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Can you make comparisons and contrasts? Right, that's what they

1189
01:13:35.720 --> 01:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>mean by literacy crisis, not whether you can read see

1190
01:13:41.039 --> 01:13:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Bob Run or whatever, although some of y'all can't do

1191
01:13:44.600 --> 01:13:47.880
<v Speaker 1>that either, and the system has failed you. But yeah,

1192
01:13:48.000 --> 01:13:53.479
<v Speaker 1>like it's so for her to show up here and

1193
01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:56.119
<v Speaker 1>be like, I'm a businesswoman. Yeah, I knew you were

1194
01:13:56.159 --> 01:14:00.159
<v Speaker 1>a business woman, but you were selling a lifestyle on

1195
01:14:00.159 --> 01:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a fucking farm. I don't know if she was actually

1196
01:14:01.760 --> 01:14:08.000
<v Speaker 1>on a farm, but a lifestyle of conservativism. Women doing last,

1197
01:14:08.520 --> 01:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>women taking a step back and saying that this was

1198
01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the better choice. Okay, if it was the better choice,

1199
01:14:18.039 --> 01:14:21.079
<v Speaker 1>they was doing it for thousands of years. Well not

1200
01:14:21.119 --> 01:14:23.359
<v Speaker 1>all women, but some women were doing it for thousands

1201
01:14:23.399 --> 01:14:25.439
<v Speaker 1>of years. So why didn't you want to do it?

1202
01:14:25.439 --> 01:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>No more? M hm, You so you don't have to

1203
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:40.920
<v Speaker 1>go into the insurance office and sell auto policies. Yeah yeah, real,

1204
01:14:42.720 --> 01:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>real lame shit, Nara, real lame shit. Is there anything

1205
01:14:49.560 --> 01:14:51.279
<v Speaker 1>else that I wanted to talk about? I don't think

1206
01:14:51.319 --> 01:14:54.760
<v Speaker 1>there is. This episode was a little more preachy than

1207
01:14:54.800 --> 01:14:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to do. Maybe next one will be a

1208
01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:00.000
<v Speaker 1>little more fun. I really am bound by the stuff

1209
01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:02.800
<v Speaker 1>that I have been consuming this week. So it is

1210
01:15:02.840 --> 01:15:05.720
<v Speaker 1>what it is, all right, guys, We'll see you in

1211
01:15:05.720 --> 01:15:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the next one later. M
