00:02:13
Speaker
wrote me the letters, right? Did I tell you the new- Yeah, the weird letters. Yeah. Did I tell you and the and and the dogs? She also has the dogs. Mm-hmm. Yes. Did I tell you the new thing of what happened last Friday? Not last Friday. Yeah, last Friday. No. Okay. So I'm coming in from the grocery store. I got all my bags and she was like, oh, ah do you want to say goodbye? And I was like,
00:02:38
Speaker
But you leaving? Right. No, I got um something. She got some disease. I don't know where it is. She got something. And I can't take care of the dogs anymore, so they're going to go. Do you want to say goodbye? I never once wanted to say hello. So I don't know why you would think I literally hate your dogs. And you know what? I don't. I hate the dogs because of her. Like I love dogs. I hate the dogs because of her.
00:03:03
Speaker
oh And so I was like, all right, let me just go up and say goodbye. I don't know. Right. And I go up and then be like, bye, guys. I put my hand in and one of them snaps at me. I'm like, I'm glad you motherfucker. Yeah. Goodbye. good Goodbye. Good riddance. Right. yeah Wednesday, Wednesday night.
00:03:23
Speaker
I'm in my room. And mind you, she's from Florida. Dogs are in the car on Friday. Dogs are driving to Florida, right? Okay. Wednesday, I hear some jingling. And I know that familiar sound is some dogs. And so I run to my door, I look through the people and yes, it's those dogs. After like four days, after like four days, they're back.
00:03:48
Speaker
So i ah ah she sees me as I'm coming in on Saturday. I'm coming in the hallway and she's like, hey, they're back. like And I'm like, yeah, I don't care. So I'm at the point now that.
00:04:02
Speaker
Fuck it. I'm just going to say what's on my mind and and push, come to serve. we got If I got beef with my neighbor, I got beef with my neighbor, but I just don't like her. She was the one being weird first. Right. And her dogs stuck. They don't. It's hurtful. They're wack. It's hurtful. There it is right there. There it is right there. I mean, that's it is what it is. mine I don't know if y'all knows I'm extremely tired. I thought she was extremely high. No, I'm tired because I have to get up every hour to let Roscoe out. got got Well, genius. Yes. Decide to eat some mushrooms in the neighbor's yard.
00:04:47
Speaker
Oh, you know what? I blame that on you. That's your fault. You let him off the leash too much. You don't have control of him. You let him just roam, and he gets in the shit. So now it's 100% on leash. He's not allowed to just roam until he listens when I call him. He doesn't respond to recall, then he's got to be on the leash. Yeah. I mean, he's a puppy. He's going to get in the shit.
00:05:12
Speaker
Yeah. And then, but I got to do, I got to clean the vomit out of his crate. I got, I'm the one that got to get up. Yeah. Just once though. Um, but he's, I let his stomach clear out. So I didn't, you know, didn't feed him any breakfast or lunch. Um, by the time dinner came around, he was like, bitch, I don't care what happens. Feed me something. I just took a sip of water. You almost made me spit all my damn water out. You almost made me spit all of it out. All right, catch your breath. Catch your breath. She was funny. He's like, listen, give me some heat. So I gave him some heat. It's clearing up. It's clearing up that guy. He's been sleeping a little longer and stuff, so.
00:06:07
Speaker
But I had to give him every hour he would just start crying. And I'm like, I called our mother. And I told her to come get these kids, and she wouldn't do it. I just found that just very rude. No, that's not right. No, I'm calling you to come get these kids. No, that's not right. Because I can't take it to work. I need you to come get these kids. No, no, no. Look, it's your fault. It is 100% your fault. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I'm just complaining. OK, I'm here with you. You could play it all day long.
00:06:46
Speaker
I'm just complaining because I'm tired and I'm able with it. And for some reason, Roni has been so clingy. She stopped eating for some reason. I don't know why, but she did eat her dinner tonight. But it's been like a couple days of like I put her food down. She won't eat. So she got her appetite back. I don't know what was wrong with her. I was like, if you go another day without eating, I got to take you to the vet. Right.
00:07:09
Speaker
Uh, he probably passed on the same shit to her, but she's just older and was just like, all right, my stomach just ain't quite right. I'm just going to chill. Right. Yeah. See, he doesn't have that yet. Like Ronnie will be like something that something's going on. Sounds like boots and a dryer in my stomach right now. Let me not eat this fool. He'll do. He'll, he doesn't care. He's going to eat. Except when we're on road trips, he won't eat them. Oh.
00:07:38
Speaker
Because I have anxiety. Yeah, anxiety that makes sense. and i won i'm sad that and Other than that, he's a good boy. Yeah, I mean, he's a puppy. Yeah. Like, he's not even a year. He's curious. I couldn't imagine what it would it be like to to just be introduced to a world that you knew nothing about and then you just jump into the world and be like, I need to find out everything right now.
00:08:05
Speaker
Um, you did. It was when you were a baby. But I don't remember that. Oh. You know what I'm saying? I'm talking about, like, if I was, like, transported to a new planet, and it was just like, explore to your heart's content. I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I'd be all over the place. You know what? You had that kind of reaction to Hawaii. I did. What'd you think about that, uh, that little, um, meme that I sent you from Touch by an Angel, where she was?
Racial Themes in Media
00:08:33
Speaker
That's...
00:08:33
Speaker
That episode clearly never aired again. Like, it probably aired once. Somebody put what episode it was, like season five, episode three, or something like me, or something like that. i I completely disagree. I believe that that aired and ran regularly because it was the 80s, 90s, and something like that wasn't uncommon. But ah so for the people out there that don't understand what we're talking about, it's a touch by the angel episode where If y'all have never watched a show that I can't help you, right? It was right woman That was an angel that if you were black it was on in your house. Yeah, yeah if he was black is something some people was Christian show so if you was black was on a yeah it was only a yeah least on And in this particular episode an angel she's angels white was
00:09:26
Speaker
turned black and she's being chased by some white guys that are trying to catch her. And she's praying to God, please turn me back white, please turn me back white. I don't know. Now notice she doesn't pray for them to have a change of heart.
00:09:41
Speaker
She doesn't pray to be swept to safety. What she prays for is to make me white again. Right. So you got a lot of backlash from a lot of people in our community. It was just like, how the hell was this on TV? And they made the same comments that you made. Then the great Erica Alexandra.
00:10:03
Speaker
who you would know as uh from living scene shaw from liver single uh esquire she but she is um brilliant and everything that she does she wrote this This is back in the day when they made really good TV. Believe it or not, this is powerful for anyone thinking that she should have prayed for the predators to change, you're missing the larger picture. It was her deliverance and understanding that that episode was about. This is a walk a mile in the shoes episode. 70s and 80s TV shows did a lot more teaching about racial politics and complicated nuances around biases and prejudice. The reason they disrupted
00:10:47
Speaker
um and targeted this type of storytelling is because it was working. White owned media companies started to invest only in the negative pathology and divest out of their own racial education. And we have all paid the price. Storytelling is a ground zero for understanding and changing how this world moves.
00:11:07
Speaker
fund the storytellers, creators, and artists. We change hearts and minds. This is a strength of quality, of soft power that is responsible for moral education of humans onwards. So and in a way, see it was it it wasn't a lesson for us, but a damn show was teaching a lesson to the white folks.
00:11:26
Speaker
Yes. yeah Right? Like, it it's offensive to us. In that respect, no, I understood exactly what the story was trying to say in that her deliverance was to be made white again. And then her grappling, but then after that, her grappling with what just happened. It wasn't that her life was threatened. It was that she prayed to be white again and what that meant.
00:11:54
Speaker
for her and now her understanding, like her coming to understand just how much racial animus is out there for black people and that she can run to whiteness to save herself. Right. And and we we don't have that. We don't have that. And by the way, this was a show produced by the great Dela Reese. She was an executive new producer and storyteller. So for all those people that were jumping in, like, this is preposterous. How did the hell did this even get on TV? No. In 2024. Yes. And it's very.
00:12:31
Speaker
Should put more white people in blackface? Absolutely not. There is a better way to tell this story. And it was to put her in the body of a black woman and have a black actress play that role. That probably would have been better. ah ah cook I feel like there was a Quantum Leap episode where he jumped into it. But you always saw Sam Beckett. It wasn't until he looked in the mirror that you saw then a black actor playing the reflection. Like, that's the way you handle it. Well, first of all, Quantum Leap. You know what I never, okay, speaking of Quantum Leap, you know what I never finished watching was Quantum Leap. And I just saw the last, the final scene of Quantum Leap. Do you know he never gets home?
00:13:18
Speaker
No. He's still leaping, leaping. He's still trying to get home. No, he will never get home. He will never get home because it was something he had a choice where he could get home. But I guess ah Sam had died or something like that. I need to watch the final season of Quantum. I need to also because I don't remember any of this. I don't remember any of this. But you knew know who Sam was. Sam wasn't like, hey, Gidget or whatever.
00:13:46
Speaker
Oh, Sam. No, no, no. You're talking to Sam. Sam Beckett was Sam Beckett. I'm talking to what was it? What was it? Ziggy Ziggy was the little thing he used to know. What was his name? God damn it. You're about to Google search it again. No,
00:14:04
Speaker
yeah not the new quantum leap, the old quantum leap. Don't nobody want to know. Damn. I want to get the old quality with the, uh. Al. His name was Al. Oh, that's right.
00:14:27
Speaker
Let's talk about superpower because I teased it on the show. Yes. This truly insane superpower.
Humorous Superpower Debate
00:14:35
Speaker
So you say what this is. You say, and then I will ask my questions. Okay. As I have many. So you go ahead. I'm often annoyed at people for being ignorant and dumb and just not being able to think. So I want the power to have the hands of the glow. So the hands of the glow come from, ah um what was the movie called? Barry Gordon's The Last dragon thats Dragon. And Bruce Lee Roy, my hands glow. My hands will glow and I'll smack sense into people.
00:15:11
Speaker
to make them make the right decisions because typically people make wrong decisions and I just want to smack them. So my power is the hand of the glow smacks you and leads you to make the right decision. I don't understand how that's difficult to understand. Because whose definition of ignorant sense and right decision, because now you have stated you yourself do not know what the right decision is. Hold on. Your hand, the glow is what smacks sense into people. Right, the glow knows the right decision. The glow knows. That's the power. So is your hand part of you, or is it its own being?
00:15:56
Speaker
The glow, okay, so this has evolved over our conversation last night, so um I came to answer these questions. and Okay. So the glow has a life of its own. Sometimes the glow will activate without me even knowing, and then I know I need to smack a person to put the power of the glow in them so they can make the right decisions. Now, how do you, is your hand communicating with you telepathically? yeah It's a power within me. It's the power that I've been gifted.
00:16:24
Speaker
Like, how do you run? You don't know. Listen. Your body just runs. but I do know the mechanics of running. The glow tells me to smack people. But you just said the glow is its own entity. well yeah So how is it from inside you? It's like a Spidey sense. OK. OK. It's like a Spidey sense, yeah. I understand. It was ah an ability that has now become an integral part of who you are. Yes. Got it. Yes. OK. Again, though.
00:16:53
Speaker
yeah If you don't know what the right decision is, but you you're using your definition of ignorance. Okay, so yes. so And your definition of what is sense. Because I think I have a ah really good understanding of This is not coming from the glow. This is you deciding, except in the times when the glow activates on its own, and sometimes you know what to do in those situations. You're making it more complicated than what it really is. No, you're not thinking this through. The glow knows. The glow knows. You don't know until you do know. Well, sometimes I'll look at it and look at my hand and be like, this looks like a time where you should be glowing.
00:17:40
Speaker
and And the glow might be like, well, I don't really know. Let's hear what more this person has to say about that. And again, this is a voice within you. Well, this is a voice within me because I often talk about myself. So this is a voice within myself. Anyway, I think the glow is net. It's glow comes from my heart. Okay. goes get So is it like Spider-Man then? Because that came from Spider-Man. Is the glow a separate entity or is it a part of your heart? Both. That makes no sense. Most superpowers don't make no sense.
00:18:16
Speaker
Yes, yes, they do. No, they don't. You get by a radioactive spider and you get the abilities of a spider. Right. You are from a planet that has a different gravity and multiple suns or some shit, and you come to ours, and that means that you can now float, or whatever. And it means that now you can... If you're going to get them right, get them right. Your parents were murdered in front of you. Yeah, that's Batman. But he's rich. And you use your extensive wealth to give yourself gadgets, like they make sense. Think of it like Green Lantern, right? Like the Green Lantern ring. The Green Lanterns are basically the space police force, right? Yes. yeah And a Green Lantern's ring gives him the power of anything they, he or she, anything that they can imagine. But the ring has to choose you. So just imagine that this cosmic entity
00:19:09
Speaker
that is the glow to help straighten people out because that's basically what it is, chose me because they think that I am a person that has enough common sense to be able to wield this great power. hu So I get this power of the glow that's a part of me. It has its own mind, but also fuses with my mind because it doesn't know human nature.
00:19:40
Speaker
but it knows the right answer. It, okay. Cause then what? How in the fuck?
00:19:53
Speaker
Can it not know human nature? But know the correct... So this intergalactic judiciary has chosen you. Well, I just came up with the intergalactic judiciary. It could just be some cosmic entity that's just like... Yeah, for some reason wants to involve itself in the personal lives of a race of people that are beings that it has no...
00:20:22
Speaker
idea about their nature. It's called a selfless act. You participate in organizations of people that aren't yours because you want to help other people and you want to do right. That's what this entity is. But I don't. It wants the better the world. Insert my own morality on a group of people that I don't even know their cultural traditions. Well, that's the reason why it bonds with me because I know.
00:20:50
Speaker
So it is all coming from you. No, it's not all coming from me. Because sometimes the glow won't work, right? If I just want, I can't just be going around just smacking folks, though I want to. But even now, I could go around smacking folks if I wanted to, and I don't. There is some self control.
00:21:08
Speaker
Even if I was given, even if there was an, why are you scratching your head? Hold on now, I'm trying to explain this. Even if there was no consequences ever for me going around and smacking people, I wouldn't just be smacking people all the time, right? There would be some, like I know what's right and what's wrong. I think my moral compass is pretty solid.
00:21:28
Speaker
I would hope so because this intergalactic judiciary has chosen you. Right. But they chose me for a reason. To be the arbiter of what is ignorant and what is sense. No, well, yes. I mean, that's a real... It's a little bit more... It's not quite... Look, I'm basically helping people.
00:21:55
Speaker
by smacking them in the face. It doesn't have to be a snack. It doesn't have to, why couldn't it be a handshake? Because you understand it's still, why couldn't it be a high five? You got to smack the sense into one. That's what it is. The glow is smacking senses into people. They ain't a loss. They says they ain't got no common sense. You smack sense into them. I don't understand how this is difficult. It's common sense and what people lack.
00:22:21
Speaker
everything that you're saying. Okay. So now I'm going to ask questions having accepted this premise. okay Okay. How long does the smacks effect last? Because you can get, you can easily fall down a rabbit hole constantly having to smack a particularly ignorant by your definition person. Well, I think my definition is pretty solid first and foremost. Okay. All right. That's first. I think I'm a pretty good judge. But we still have to also acknowledge that it is your voice alone and your moral compass alone that is making
00:23:05
Speaker
Once again, let's be clear. Yeah, I believe that I'm right. But these are the but these are also the reasons why ah problems I have with Superman. Oh, no. Okay. Okay. I don't know how Superman has got to be kidding. Because these ah this is the problem I have with superheroes in general. Okay. Because again, you are singularly deciding what is right in this situation. Yeah.
00:23:36
Speaker
You are not beholden to anyone else. I'm beholden to the glow. The glow, I can also smack myself.
00:23:44
Speaker
The glow will smack me. But ah how long, you asked the question, how long does the glow last? I don't really know. I don't really know how long that lasts. That's a good question. Like, if you smack sense into somebody how long and it have permanent yeah and it's permanent, then why don't you just literally smack every person in the world? I don't think that it would be permanent.
00:24:04
Speaker
Okay, so it's not permanent, so they can still get later. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that's humans, right? So, right. I'm not taking away free will. You are? No, I'm not. You're taking away their freedom to make a dumb decision. No, they've already made a dumb decision.
00:24:24
Speaker
They've already made the decision. So then what's the point of me getting sense later on if I've already made the music decision? You learned from it. you You made the dumb decision. I smacked the hell out of you. That was a dumb ass decision. Oh, that was kind of dumb. Next time you don't make that dumb decision. That doesn't mean that you won't make more dumb decisions because people are pretty dumb. ah I think that my hand would get tired for all the dumb people in the world making bad decisions.
00:24:48
Speaker
however It's a job I'm willing to take on to help improve the stupidity that is across our great world. I think that if you were to smack yourself, the glow would leave because it you would then realize that you needed some sense back yeah all along and you are dispensing your own version of vigilante justice yeah when really the glow chose you to smack yourself.
00:25:17
Speaker
No, well, I mean, there might be times when, you know, when the glow's gonna smack me. When? Anytime I'm dating. Every time I'm dating. You know when the glow's gonna smack me? When I open up that Amazon app. That's when the glow's gonna smack me. Yo, facts. When I open up that Uber Eats, what the hell you doing? You got food in right here. I'm gonna get slapped by the glow. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about, I could slap all the Georgia Republicans right now. Smack some sense into them.
00:25:51
Speaker
This is what I'm talking about. No,
00:25:57
Speaker
and no it's not taking away free will. They've already done the things. I'm smacking sense into them to make them think about the things that they're doing. They still have the choice to make decisions that you're going to make, but now they got some sense and making those choices. So it's not taking... Temporarily. Well, yeah, temporary. I don't know how long it lasts. Like, I didn't really, you know, workshop this. I just said it would be great to have the superpower. And it and really, I don't like your dissection of it. It's really taking away all the fun of having the superpower. I just want to smack people. You want to smack people that you think are dumb. Yes. Yes. I think you just want carte blanche to smack people you think are dumb. No. I want to make them smarter.
00:26:42
Speaker
I don't think you do, because if you did, there's like there's definitely an end to that. No, because people are people. We've been making done decisions all our lives. Well, then if there is no end to it, yeah is there a purpose for it? Yes. It's like Batman is out there fighting crime. You will waste your life just smacking people. But I'll save some lives. I'll save some lives. Temporarily.
00:27:11
Speaker
And you won't because they already did the dumb thing. yeah So they're already going to have to suffer the consequences, and now they're going to have the knowledge that they fucked up. Yeah, I don't ever i don't ever want to take consequences away from your actions, but I want you to learn from your concept from your actions, from your stupidity. Right now, there's no consequences for Republicans. Doesn't the consequence do that? Huh? Say what? But doesn't the consequence do that? Are the Republicans thinking about making new gun laws in Georgia after this mass shooting after school?
00:27:41
Speaker
No. Okay. So there's that instance there's a consequence of their laws. Yes. People died. They have not learned from it. That's where the glow comes in. Making them see, they well, making them see the error of their ways.
00:28:06
Speaker
having a whole conversation. You got to hit record on these conversations. I do. You have to see what they're talking about. So yeah, no, I think the last two shows have been really good. And you like, you brought up a really good point. Like last week I was hungover this week. I'm tired and I didn't have my normal morning routine.
00:28:25
Speaker
And so, like, i I guess I'm not anxious, so it's a lot more loose, as opposed to kind of like when I took the SAT for the third time. Like, I walked in there, I hung over, yeah and I scored 300 points above what I was doing before, because I wasn't, like, I wasn't anxious. That damn anxiety is a monster. A monster.
Media Reviews: 'Inside Out 2' and More
00:28:45
Speaker
I don't know. Have you seen it Inside Out 2? I do not want to watch that movie, because the first one makes me Say it. There are no bing bong moments. Look, that bing bong moment. You don't have to worry. I did not cry. Yeah, but it's dealing with anxiety, right? Yes. That means you're seeing a person, and when I see people being anxious, that makes me anxious. Yeah. it I mean, there's an actual character. Her name is anxiety.
00:29:12
Speaker
and um just seeing like her thought process of, no, I'm here to you know because they're I think about the future. you know What should we do for the future? you know I'm thinking about the next thing. You guys are her emotions in the immediate moment. I am thinking about the future. That's why you need me here. and so like That is true. you ah You do need a certain level of of anxiety and that the thing that separates human beings from every other animal is that we can actually conceptualize the future, oh which is an abstract idea. Yeah. Because we never actually get to the future, right? The future doesn't exist. so
00:30:00
Speaker
Tomorrow does exist. I'm going to get to tomorrow. Because when we get to tomorrow is today, we're always in the present moment. we get But right? You say we all say that out loud to the people on the streets and see when people be like, what? When we get to tomorrow is today, because we live in the present moment. We never actually live in some future moment. So you could say, I want to do this tomorrow. The fact that we can think about tomorrow being a thing,
00:30:27
Speaker
that that abstraction is what separates us from other animals. me But the only thing that exists actually is the past, because it already happened, and the present moment. The future is a concept. Yeah, okay. I guess you won't. Yeah, I guess if you don't have a little bit of anxiety, then you're a social path.
00:30:48
Speaker
yeah But wait a minute, don't sociopaths have anxiety? That's part of the reason why they're sociopath. I don't know. You know what, I'm not a psychologist. they I think sociopaths lack empathy. Yeah, oh they absolutely lack empathy. Yeah. So it was funny talking about lack and empathy. It's come out...
00:31:06
Speaker
There's more January 6th stuff coming out. And there m they have been saying that when Trump found out that Pence's life was being threatened, he literally says, so what? And that's been documented by several sources. He literally says, so what? ah Yeah. At this point, if you don't believe that that incited a riot for the purposes of overturning an election, the fuck?
00:31:36
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I'm taking a break from the election. I'm going to take a break from the election. You can't take away 29 days. I'm talking about today. Today alone. For the rest of the day, I'm going to sit up there and watch the last episode of Ghost, a power book ghost. It's the last episode in that series. I try to remember why some football, but I often forget. I always forget.
00:32:02
Speaker
and i Sundays, just because we're filming on Sundays, and like football has started, like it started 15 minutes ago. Don't forget, because I got to go make my brunch. You know what I'm saying? I got my hash browns. I cooked them beforehand. So I just need to reheat them, but I didn't cook them all the way so I could still air fry them a little bit. And I think I'm going to add some cheese to it, to the hash browns. That's why you always ditch your steaks medium rare, so that when you heat it up the next day, it's medium.
00:32:32
Speaker
OK, I didn't think about that, but OK. Because the last thing you want is to get a medium or medium well steak, and then you go to heat it up the next day, and now it's well done. And it's all dry. You can't even cut through it.
00:32:46
Speaker
yeah Oh man, I was telling everybody about my visiting hours and people are going to start showing up in the next couple of weeks and I was like, like that's cool because one of make sure you call them visiting hours. Well, it's only because our brother came up with that and I thought, that's hilarious yeah because they are visiting hours. and One of my friends who's been trying to connect with me all summer was like, are you going to be around next Saturday? I was like, yeah yes.
00:33:15
Speaker
I think I'm done with the Saturday stuff, like leaving. and I think I'm home for the next couple of Saturdays. And so our cousin was like, what Saturdays is your brother and your best friend going to be there? And I was like, I don't know. It's just, just come any Saturday. The Saturdays are always going to be open. But my friend said that she's going to come visit me next Saturday, and then she double checked. It's like, it's after two, right? It starts two. It's like, yes, it starts two. It starts at two.
00:33:42
Speaker
oh Absolutely ridiculous. Well, it's not ridiculous. That's... Look. No, ah it was ridiculous that you called it an open door policy. for that was That was the ridiculous part. It's visiting hours. Well, you don't technically... People don't come visit you during the week. They can, though.
00:33:58
Speaker
Oh, okay. i mean they're not like the point The point is you can like an old 90s sitcom, you can show up to my house. I'm not going to have as loose as Jerry Seinfeld had his place. They was just coming in. They're coming and going. They just didn't even knock. They just opened the door and came in. and I don't want that. No, no, I don't want that. And I also need my meantime.
00:34:22
Speaker
I think most people check the door first. and then just And then if the door is locked, then they'll ring the door bell. Well, if I'm here and somebody's coming through, my door is always most of the time. If I'm here, most of the time the door is unlocked. I very rarely lock the door. ah Farewell. Well, yeah no, that's not true. I started locking it because there was a time where I was dating a woman. And she they could talk about Jerry Seinfeld. She liked to walk around naked all the time, which It's cool in the beginning, but after a while, it's like, now there's no mystery. There's no seduction. I see you all the time. And this ain't the time for you to be naked. We just sitting here, eating Cheetos, watching The Burning Mac Show. Can you put some draws on? Now you got Cheeto dust on your titties. That's not great. I was like, did you at least put draws on? Just some draws. Because maybe I don't want your bare ass on my couch.
00:35:16
Speaker
That is where I would draw the line. Don't put your, you better put a sheet down. Don't put your bare ass. Don't put your bare ass. Don't do that. I don't do that. Don't put, because I lay down on my couch and the last thing I want is to put my face where your ass was. Where your bare ass has been. No. So there was one time maintenance was coming and doing something. I think they were replacing the filters or whatever. And they were just knocking on the door. They were knocking on the door and saying maintenance and just open the door before you can say anything. Because they were expecting this during the day, even though it was during the pandemic. So you would think,
00:35:55
Speaker
People were still remote workers. And a lot of people work from home. Right. They just opened the door, and this happened because I bought her robes. And I was like, look, you can wear robes around the house. I need you to put some clothes on. Plus, I got the window that's in the living room that looks over the courtyard so everybody can see it in my apartment. And I was like, yeah.
00:36:15
Speaker
that's good that you're real proud about your body, but you're showing everybody. Like, I don't care. That's like you want to live cool. Like, I'm not the jealous type. Like, I'm happy that everybody know that you're with me because you look the way you do. That makes me look better. But I'm just saying, so the person just walked in and she was like, I could have been naked. And I was like, if it was two, three weeks ago, you would have been naked.
00:36:36
Speaker
ah Right. With this robot. So I started locking the doors now, but when I had the open door policy, ah the busy the hours on Saturdays, the doors would be unlocked and we'd just come in. yeah I just got to go buy some red solo cups now.
00:36:51
Speaker
Oh, I've always got something somewhere. Yeah, I don't have nothing. Yeah, you got to get the solos cups. Because I ain't going to be doing a whole bunch of dishes neither. No, hell no. I got a stack of paper plates and some solos cups. I still got the little plastic shot glasses for my birthday. Those were not shot. Oh, no.
00:37:10
Speaker
one of the things the little ones the little ones because our brother bought some and i was like mean no those were those were cups you use when you brush in your teeth you put a little water in the cup and rinse your mouth out those cups that you use to play bear pong with Yeah. Those are not it. Those are not it. But I recently found out, I'm today years old, solo cups, the lines, the ridges on the solo cups. You just found this out? I just found this out. I didn't know that they're actually measurements for your drink. Yeah, I found this out about a month ago.
00:37:48
Speaker
I just found this out, too. Yeah, like I think we found it out at the the same time, OK? Yeah. But apparently, yeah, that first little ridge at the bottom of the cup, that's a shot. And and then the next line is wine. Wine. And then the line after that is beer. And I didn't i yeah i just been filling the cup up. yeah Well, and be honest with you and ah I wish my bestie had solo cups because I was with her last Saturday and she got a heavy hand when it's pouring I know you're watching if I tell all the time are you trying to kill me? Like yeah, I have to function. I so I think she can drink I Know that she can she could drink more than me and I can yeah, I think most women can drink
00:38:32
Speaker
ah most men under the table. Like, and from what I've seen. could Yeah, because Dad tells stories that Mom used to drink him under the table when they first met. From what I've seen, ladies can really throw it back. And at last last night, it was open bar at my friend's birthday party. He had an open, he spent some bread. Let me tell you, he sent us his receipt from the liquor store. ah he he He dropped a stack.
TV Shows and Diversity Discussion
00:39:06
Speaker
I like the show, France. I'm tired of being black and and not being able to support the show, France. Yes. Is it stolen from living single? Yes. love Absolutely. Absolutely. Even the show creators were like, yeah, we just made a white living single. Do they not have any black people on the show until like the 70s? Not a one. Not a one. Yes. However, the show is still funny. How is a show set in New York don't have nobody of color on it?
00:39:36
Speaker
Look, forget all that. And they act like, they act like, oh, Joey's our personal color. No. Stop acting like Italian is not white. Well, Italian became white because white people thought it was important to have them because they had they needed more numbers. Yeah, basketball became a game because somebody decided to play it. Listen, I still don't make it not a game. OK.
00:40:07
Speaker
That's still a damn Whatever. i like that I've always liked the show, friends. I love Live the Single 2. I can love both. You can love both. I don't understand this idea that Black people can't admit. Friends, it's funny. If you ever watch an episode, I can point out some episodes. The cast is funny. they were yeah perfectly cut They were perfectly cast. They are funny.
00:40:32
Speaker
And there's nothing wrong with watching a show that you can't personally identify with, right? I cannot identify with. I don't drink coffee. yeah can't ah Oh, I'm drinking it right now during the show. I'm trying to stay awake for the rest of this goddamn show.
00:40:46
Speaker
well
00:40:48
Speaker
But it's nothing wrong watching a show that you don't, that nobody personally identifies with Bridgerton, because none of us were alive in those times, right? Like, so in whatever hell is a Renaissance time, I don't know, because I don't know nothing about history.
00:41:02
Speaker
um but
00:41:05
Speaker
But, um lines very good No, I'm trying to find a diplomatic way of saying I hate friends. I don't hate it. ah I don't think it's particularly funny. i would show And I watched friends i've watched friends. I watched friends when it was on.
00:41:23
Speaker
Like I watched it. I have seen most of friends. Oh, he's a friend though. And I watched it because it was on primetime and it was the thing you you watched primetime television back then. yeah ah Regardless of what it was, you watched primetime television. and it so I watched Friends. Uh, you know, can I say that I have some chuckles? Yes, chuckles. I still say pivot every time I move furniture. okay but Every time I move furniture, I yell pivot. Shut up. But here's the thing, i I feel like there's one character that resonates with you, me, and our brother so much, and that's Matthews Perry's ah character of Chandler, because he's so sarcastic, yes and that's who we are. So every time I'm watching him, aside the fact that I can't identify with him in any other way besides the sarcasm, I'm like, if you could just take his sarcasm, he could he could be a family member.
00:42:26
Speaker
Not the person, the sarcasm of the person. Yes, yes. So I find the show funny. Phoebe is funny. Monica, neurotic, neurotic. Neuroticism. Neuroticism is hilarious. Yeah. This show is funny. I was watching clips last night. That's the reason why this is coming to my attention. Yeah. And I was like, I was chuckling. I was laughing because I was like, I remember this. And I think sometimes people will only give it a chuckle is because they're looking at it like, I don't see me.
00:42:56
Speaker
How could they be in New York? Nobody in that coffee shop. Right. Not one patron. Not one patron is black. I don't know. Not even like a barista in there. Nothing. Everybody they work with is white. Like everybody they know is white. Like y'all don't know. No people would call it. I'm like this only place I know like that in New York City is certain sections of Staten Island and Bensonhurst.
00:43:24
Speaker
Right. But y'all are in a new young in Manhattan. Manhattan. And nobody's coming into that coffee shop. I won't start watching episodes to see if I see any extras this black. But I really don't see it. So I get it. Why people are like, I don't want to watch the show because I don't see any representation of us. This is so unrealistic. yeah But also?
00:43:43
Speaker
The show is funny, okay? If the show is funny, I laugh. Also, Seinfeld, hilarious. Now, Seinfeld gave way more representation of New York City. Yes. Okay. Yes. Also, kind of helped that the creators were Jewish from New York City, so they recognized that this is New York City. Yes. Also, Seinfeld, hilarious show. There is not a character on there that doesn't make me laugh. I know Kramer did his thing. Yep, yep. You know, he apologized.
00:44:13
Speaker
He apologized. He never really bounced back from that. it He never really bounced back from that at all. and don But you know what, though? he went in the type of character, he was a character in that show. yeah Like, where what ah what else could he do besides be that character? right Jason and Alexander didn't really do anything. I mean, he's done stuff. but Yeah, he's been in movies and other television shows. But I mean, Julie Louise Dreyfus, who we're finding and out, is the greatest comedic actress. No, no, no, I'm not going to limit it to
00:44:50
Speaker
Oh, comedic actor, okay. Comedic actor, the greatest television comedic actor of our lifetime. She's absolutely brilliant. Her comedic timing is just top tier. who um She's ridiculous and hilarious. um i've I've liked everything she's ever done.
00:45:13
Speaker
everything and here's another thing like everybody talks about Seinfeld and Veep and I get it but the new adventures or the new life of Christine that showed that she had the new adventures of old Christine the new
Celebrating Julia Louis-Dreyfus
00:45:24
Speaker
hot I almost feel like and I didn't even watch Veep and I probably need to watch that I almost feel like that was ah her best show. Mm-hmm. Because that show, absolutely hilarious. You know, you're talking about what to do from Avengers, and then he died, and then he was in the show, the Avengers TV show. Yeah. Agent Zero, whatever. Agent, Agent, uh... Marvel, Defenders, whatever that TV show. What the hell? Agents of S.H.I.E.L. He was in Agents of S.H.I.E.L. Yeah, but he was, uh... I don't know what the hell was his name.
00:45:58
Speaker
I want to say Turnbull. Colman. Colson. Colman. Colson. There were cold yeah he was. Yeah, he was the the the old baby daddy. The show was hilarious. Yeah. And and Jerry, and when I was watching at the time, I was like, Jerry's the least funniest. Nope. He's actually the funniest now that I'm older. Yeah. Now that you get the jokes. yeah Now that I get the jokes, yeah. No, maybe I got to go back, because I never thought Seinfeld was funny. I never thought it was funny.
00:46:22
Speaker
ah Except for Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander, but like and I never really thought the show was that funny, but maybe now I have to go back and watch it as an adult. so I can get the jokes and get the references. Because you know we're when you're a kid watching these shows, you're like, I don't get it. You just see Kramer come in and be goofy. And you're like, oh, this is funny. the You don't really get it. The slapstick of it you got as a kid, the intelligence of it, you'll get as an adult. Yeah. So so maybe I got to go back and watch it out there. Yeah. The plot and the scheming. It's a very, now that we're in our 40s, it's like, OK, yeah, I've i've actually
00:47:02
Speaker
done that. And I was not proud of that. And they do a lot of things that people do and you'd be like, Oh, I wasn't proud of that. But it happened. So it is what it is. It is what it is.
