Sibling Happy Hour Kickoff
00:00:34
Speaker
On today's episode, it's the Sibling Happy Hour. I'm here with my sis, Jay Andrea. We're gonna be dilly-dallying a little bit. Then we're gonna be talking about them Southern Baptists. And then Millennials versus Gen Z? I don't know. We're gonna get to it in a minute. But that's enough of this intro. Let's get to the show.
Bruce's Transportation Adventures
00:00:59
Speaker
What up, sis? What up, Brennan? I can't call it, I can't call it, ah but I can call it. Oh, you can? Okay, all right. i had I had a very, very interesting thing that happened to me yesterday. Two things that were very, very interesting to happen to me yesterday. First thing. So for those people that that have been following the show, they know that I live outside of D.C. like I am four miles from the Pentagon, right? I'm five miles from Washington, D.C.
00:01:31
Speaker
And I've been going a lot into the Pentagon area for work and meetings and things of that nature. Yeah. I don't have a car because I don't need a car in this area. Yeah, you really don't in the DMV. And I'm always drinking, so I don't drink and drive. So it was really no point for me to have a car. You could just Uber everywhere. Right. But for these meetings, it's pointless for me to pay the 10, $15 for an Uber, because in my city, there's a free bus that takes me right to Pentagon, right to the Pentagon, right? oh
00:02:05
Speaker
So I can hop on the bus anytime I want, I need to go to so the Pentagon area and it runs every 10 minutes every day and it's absolutely free. And I used to be too bougie to ride the bus, but not anymore. i'll never yeah I'm never too bougie for free transportation. Come on now. That's what I had to come to the reconciliation. It's like it's free transportation, Bruce. Like, yeah why are you not doing? So I'm going to catch the bus yesterday and I sit down at the bus stop and there's this older,
00:02:36
Speaker
We're going to say white gentlemen. I'm not real sure what his nationality is, but he's more white than anything else. OK. OK. For whatever that means. You're right. I don't know. He's not a person of color. OK. So he's white. I know that month. Well, he's white, but. Say people are white. No, no, no, no. But well, you know how I feel about the definition of white. yes well I just have complications. Society defines race. Society does define race. and they We're not going to get into that, but you're absolutely right. So anyways, i'm so I'm at the bus stop sitting next to this white man. ah And he says, you see that woman sitting across the street and this young black woman sitting in her car across the street? I was like, yeah. He says, she went over to the projects and bought weed and came back over here and smoked it in her car. And I was like, oh, excuse me, sir. therere we I live in an area that is
00:03:36
Speaker
You know, that's what like, is like, yeah, and no projects. Oh, there is a area. There is an area of apartment and townhouses and there's a little community that is lower income. Right. But low income is not the project. Not the project. And and when I say low income, ladies and gentlemen, these are still working class people. this is Right. i I don't. There might be. But I don't believe there's people like that are on welfare and on Medicaid. It could be. It could be. right But the likelihood of it.
00:04:15
Speaker
not that high, okay? So right it's just a poorer part of the place that I live than where I actually live, which is the high-rise building, that they say luxury. But I got my own issues with with this with this building. It ain't so luxury to me. But once again, I'm no bougie. So so there the guy says to the projects, and I was like, ain't no projects around here. There's no projects. He's like, well, she went over there. Why are you talking to me? Second of all, sir, how do you know this? Third of all, sir, shut up.
00:04:47
Speaker
So that was the first thing. I was like, why are you talking to me right now? I'm not giving off the energy of let's have a conversation. I'm giving off the energy of it's hot as hell outside. I'm just waiting for this bus because I just took a shower. I got the shower sweats and the sweat from my bowl head is dripping down my eyeball, mixing in with my moisturizer and stinging my eyes. It's not a good situation. It's not great. Yeah. It's not great, it's not ideal. So this guy is telling me, he's like, she went over to projects, and she came over here, and she parked in that parking space, and she's smoking weed. Why'd you smoke it over there in the process when you got it? And I was like, it's against the law. And I was like, it's not against the law. But then I thought about it, I was like, she's not buying weed from a dispensary, so technically, that is against the law. No, she did not get it from a dispensary.
00:05:38
Speaker
Oh, this story gets even crazier. So okay i'm getting I'm getting annoyed with him because um yeah be I'm being me. So I'm contradicting what he's saying. First of all, there's no projects. First of all, weed is decriminalized, so it's OK. I don't understand what the big deal is. He's like, but you smell it. I was like, I cannot smell it. Like, I can't smell it. And I have a sensitive nose. I was like, you're making a big deal. I'm just going to sit here. That's what I told him. I was like, I'm just going to sit here. yeah So I turn, I turn, and I'm not talking to him. And this is another dude, a brother, that gets dropped off by, I'm going to assume his woman, because he says, OK, baby, I'm going to catch you later. And you know I do have female friends, but I don't say, hey, baby, I'm going to catch you later. So I'm going to assume that that's his partner, right? I think I saved him.
00:06:26
Speaker
He's got a backpack with him, right? He's just trick trying to get himself together, getting ready to catch the bus just like the rest of them, right? Yeah. There's two buses that that are supposedly coming on this route. The first bus that comes is not my bus, but we're going to call them Mr. Unique. and Mr. Unique is getting on that bus. For those people that are listening, Mr. you Unique is the guy that was talking to me ah about the projects, OK? He gets on the bus. The bus takes off. I'm sitting down, the dude that got out of the car with his woman, we're going to say baby man. And baby man gets out of the car and he sits next to me. You're bad at that, by the way. I would have called him Project Pet.
00:07:09
Speaker
and
00:07:11
Speaker
and no scrubs because he was riding in the passenger side of his girls ride. That's what I would have named him. But you do your names. No, that's better. Project Pat and no scrubs. OK, those are really good names. Hey, I'm going to take that. That's very creative of you. OK, so no scrubs is like not sitting next to me, but like he's getting in his bag and like he's getting himself together. The bus that Project Pat got on stops in the middle of the street. Project Pat gets off the bus, starts yelling, my bag, my bag. He runs up to No Scrubs. It's like, what are you doing trying to take my bag? No Scrubs is like, what are you talking about? This is my bag.
00:07:55
Speaker
Project Pat tries to yank the bag away from no scrubs. No scrubs like, yep, get off of me. What are you doing? They are tussling in the street, going forth, yelling and screaming, OK? No scrubs are saying, my bag, what are you doing? Get that off of me. Because it is. Yeah, off of me. This is my bag. And Project Pat is saying, no, you're trying to steal my bag. You're trying to steal my bag. Finally, in a fit of clarity, Project Pest says, oh, that's not my bag. I'm sorry about that.
00:08:30
Speaker
at the bus stop, oh man, now I done missed my bus. And I said, yeah, because you getting off the bus looking for bags, it's not yours. So he goes, Project Pat goes walking down the street and I look at nose grubs and he says to me, hey man, I'm sorry about that. And I said, man, you ain't got nothing to be sorry about. That was crazy, that was nuts. He was like, yeah, what was wrong with that guy? He was like, I think he has some mental problems. I was like, I don't think, I know he does. Yeah, that's clear, because my man got up, had the bus driver stop the bus middle of the street. Middle of the street. Ran off the, but he had already put his little money in the thing to get on the bus. No, no, remember the bus is free. Oh, both buses are free. that's All the buses that ride in my neighborhood that
00:09:20
Speaker
ride in my city is free. The buses in my city are free. Now ah now that'll make no damn sense and I'm gonna come back to that. Y'all should be paying for the bus. If anybody- We do in our taxes. That should be paying- We do with our taxes. Okay. Well then if you're paying for the bus with your, take that bus. I don't know why you would act like you couldn't take no bus. And I am. I am taking a bus. But it had it had to, the only reason why I started taking the bus is because my supposedly luxury building took away my free shuttle that came along with me living here. And they did it basically in the middle of the night, and just said the next day, shuttle service is done. And we were like, what? Wait a minute. But anyway, go ahead and say what you was going to talk about with Project Patton, no scrub.
00:10:09
Speaker
Now, my question is, what are you doing while I'm in the tussling? With chuckling in my hair. Because you know, because you know.
00:10:22
Speaker
Like, no scrubs, no. But that is not Project Pass Bag. I think I said out loud, hey, man, that's not your bag. I think I said something. But they was tussling. Now, I'm going to be honest. I was a little shocked by everything. It's been a little while. No, I get that. I get that. It's been a little while since I've been with through some ghetto. This is my one cuss word for today. It's been a little while since I've been involved in some ghetto shit. OK, so yeah I was a little taken aback. Dare I say, clutching my pearls. Yeah, you should have. Yeah, I would have been. I would have been. But I would have been like, I noticed that the one time I decided to take the damn bus
00:11:10
Speaker
And here y'all go, afternoon. I used to be an avid bus rider and the things that you see on public transportation, the bus and the train, the things that you see on public transportation. I told you by the time I was taking the train back from Queens, Heading back into Manhattan, and there was an unhoused gentleman on there trying to get money for some chicken, and he started making a song about all the ways in which he enjoys his chicken.
00:11:47
Speaker
it's He liked fried chicken. He liked big chicken. He liked chicken. He liked he like chicken legs. He liked chicken thigh. I love chicken. like And then he started singing about how the percentage of hunger that he had, he set out 99% hungry. It was, I had to give everybody's acting like this man is not there because it's New York, you know, everybody's acting like this man is not there. I say, I got to give, this is creative. And I got to give him some massive money. So he'd go get himself some chicken the way he want. So he wants chicken sandwich, chicken salad. Okay. You want chicken nuggets, chicken tennis, however you want to start. You're going to get it today. And I get that man $10.
00:12:35
Speaker
Hey, look, he got himself some chicken. He got himself some... He yeah got himself some crack, but that's fine. No. Because it might have... You don't know that. You don't know you're hungry after that. I think you... Well, I don't know. ah I've never smoked crack, so I don't know. I don't either. I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm sure somebody in the audience If any of y'all are former more ah current crack users, please tell us, do you realize you're hungry after you've smoked the crack? Oh. This dude, Project Pat, had to be smoking a crack, because good God. And then where did somebody smoke a weed? Right. He had to be on something. You want to know what's crazy? I had a bag with me. I just had it on me.
00:13:30
Speaker
Like I was literally wearing my backpack as opposed to the man had his backpack on the bench. And I thought to myself, if this dude had charged me, what what what have i what would I have done? And he was, the dude was young. The dude was, I say young. younger than I am, right? But still, in his 30s, he looks like he's in his 30s. And he's struggling with the dude. And shout out to Project Pat, because he wasn't a young man. Project Pat was older, at least 50, okay? I mean, not shout out to him, but... But when he wasn't letting go. He wasn't even holding on. Well, let me tell you something. Ain't no strength like crazy strength.
00:14:14
Speaker
Crazy strength, baby strength. There's no strength. Baby strength? You ever seen a baby hold on or something? They get a hold of your earring or something? You can't get that little fist off of that earring. It's the same with crazy strength. Right. That man got a grip on that bag and he wasn't going to let go until his crazy ass remembered. He never had a bag. They was yakin'. They was yakin'. And screaming, that's my bag. You're trying to take my bag. And in the same breath, oh, wait a minute. That's not my bag. I'm sorry. That ain't my granddaddy watch. Ladies and gentlemen, that's from the movie Life. If you don't know, I can't help you with it. So that was one story of my crazy day.
Airline Voucher Frustrations
00:15:00
Speaker
This is the second story. And I told you about this, but you probably forgot and already.
00:15:06
Speaker
because I told you last night. I don't have a great memory, no. yeah And if it occurred but prior to me going to sleep, no, I don't remember it. Okay, so. I told the whole story on a previous podcast, my commute back from your place in April, how I was flying. shaan Should I name the the airline? No. It'll be enough when you describe it that people get the kernel idea. I was flying an airline and my original flight was supposed to take off at one. It was delayed an hour, then another hour, then another hour.
00:15:41
Speaker
Then another hour I find an affordable airline wing. Yeah, um the delays. I'm already at the airport. They tell us it's a delay right right after we're supposed to board. So the time for us boarding has already passed. And then they say, right oh, the flight's been delayed. And the only reason why people knew is because I had downloaded the app. And the app told me before we got any emails. So anyway, they pushed the flight back and we didn't leave. We're supposed to leave at one. We didn't leave it until five or six. I didn't get into and it's an hour and a half flight. I didn't get into Baltimore until like seven. I didn't get home that night until like eight thirty. It was a long, long day to yeah accommodate us for
00:16:26
Speaker
the fact that the flight was delayed, they gave us a voucher to use for future flights. And it was the cost of their flight. And I was like, okay, you know, I can use this for my flight back down to Atlanta for your 40th birthday party. So I was like, cool. Sounds good. I was like, you know what? it's only It's only enough for one flight. So I'm going to buy my flight back and because I found a good deal on another airline for my flight back in August. So I went on to the voucher website, the airline that gave me the voucher. I went on the website, found a great flight.
00:17:07
Speaker
That was very cheap. And I said, Oh, I can upgrade. So I upgraded to the maximum because it was still clear under the voucher. Yeah. I go to click purchase and enter in the voucher number. And the voucher number says available balance is like $9. Now the voucher is. at least 10 times that much, right? The amount that they gave them is at least 10 times that much, but they say it's only $9 that's available. So I'm reading through the voucher and and I'm like, I don't understand this. Why is this only $9 available? So I go back to the voucher and the voucher says voucher is good for the
00:17:46
Speaker
cost of the flight does not include tax, fees, seats, bags. I said, okay. Oh, so I know nothing. Okay. Right. So I go back to what the flight was. The flight was $29. So I didn't tell everybody what airline that was. All right. Yeah. But one or two. Yeah. The flight was $29. But the airfare was only $9. The tax and fees were $20. That's the reason why I was only able to use $9 of the voucher. So I'm looking at it and I'm like, oh, so the the total value of the voucher is not what I could use.
00:18:25
Speaker
Because now I'm not going to find a flight that equals, ah I will, and it will be four times as much because I found that. I found a flight that equals what I could use for the voucher, but the flight was like $400. And I'm like, no, yeah I'm not going to spend an extra $300 to use $100. And I was livid. So what I did was, is I went back to the website for the airline that I bought my ticket home and bought my ticket there. And I paid the same amount of money. Actually, I paid less for both of those tickets than I did flying the other previous airline both times. Yeah. ah You know, and my new thing is tweeting companies. Yes, that works. I would just say, hey, guys, y'all gave me a voucher that ain't worth a damn.
00:19:17
Speaker
It's worth $9 or 10. Well, here's the thing. The fee, that's y'all's fee. It's your voucher and it's y'all's fee. I get the tax and there's, there's probably, there's, I think some other fee that I think is like a government fee or something like that. But the rest of it, that's y'all's. This is your voucher. Your fees. You, I'm paying, I can't even buy my seat. Can't buy the seats, can't use for the bags.
00:19:49
Speaker
So this ain't a gray hat. Right. Okay. It's not, I need the seat. It's your seat. You're charging me for the seat. I want to use the voucher you gave me. Right. To pay for the seat that I'm paying you for. This I hate everything.
00:20:13
Speaker
Because it don't make no damn sense. We lit new in a section of don't make no damn. None of it. yeah None of it. We got a cup like a story coming up. du Don't make no damn sense. We really don't make no sense. These are your fees. This check bag fee? That's your fee. You are charging me the $35 or $50 or whatever it is for the check bag. That's your fee. Let me cover it with the voucher that you get. Or how about this? Don't give me a voucher. It's clearly worth nothing. And hand me it in cash.
00:20:48
Speaker
What? What? Give me the catch. What? because Yes. Because, excuse me. So now, so now I realize what this company does just with it. ticket prices, the reason why they're so cheap is because they're like, no since we control the fees, we're going to say the airfare is real cheap. Yeah. But you got to pay for not only your seat. Well, I didn't, the airfare does include the seat. I didn't have to upgrade. you Right. Okay. But you thought you had the space to do so. but as you is out And don't have first class, but it's kind of first class.
00:21:31
Speaker
writes um It's not anything like it. If you bid it for a class, year you'll know. But it's not anything like it. But how else do you get on that airline? On that airline, they might give me some free ginger ale. Maybe. If I'm lucky. Maybe. Or they might just give me a discount on the ginger ale that they're already going to charge me for. The voucher don't even cover. refreshments on the flight? It might. The voucher might cover actually how do you use the voucher on the flight? Because you've got to use your credit card. You've got to use your credit card. No, I would have a screenshot of that voucher and a voucher number and I say, you figure it out. I would hand you my phone and say, you figure out how to get me that ginger ale using what I just showed you on my phone.
00:22:19
Speaker
Man, we can't do that. Listen to me now. Make it work. You represent this airline. You are this airline to me. Right. And I'm saying this is your voucher, and that's your beverage that you charge me, and I want to use this voucher on that beverage. So I'm showing you this. You figure it out. Figure it out. Make it work. Go into the galley. Talk to whoever you need to talk to. You can talk to the pilot for all I care. He can radio down to the tower. I don't care. Hear it out. He don't call the scene and be barred from this airline. It's an airline that's known for people calling the scene. So I'm not dead. Actually, this airline isn't known for that. Not this airline.
00:23:05
Speaker
They're like what you're thinking of. And that's the other one. That's the other one. That's the other All JetBlue, I think they're all out of business. No, JetBlue is still it still in business. Yeah, they do they do shorter flights, but they they're still in business. They're still holding it down. Yeah. I didn't. Yeah, because I have a friend that's in New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and they told me that Southwest and JetBlue are the best flights to to get to DC from Albuquerque.
Southern Baptist Convention's Controversial Resolutions
00:23:41
Speaker
But that's my craziness. That was just yesterday. That yeah was everything that happened. Well, it wasn't everything that happened yesterday. That's just the two top crazy things that happened yesterday. But there was something crazy that happened yesterday as well that I saw
00:24:00
Speaker
But you sent me the article, and these Southern Baptists, that's all I'm going to say. But I'm going to let you lead the conversation right after this break.
00:24:20
Speaker
All right, Jay, the Southern Baptist. So the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest denomination of Protestant Christians in the U.S., recently voted to oppose the use of in vitro fertilization during their annual meeting. Okay, so why? They believe in personhood. Southern Baptists believe that personhood begins at the moment of conception. They are opposed to willfully destruction or even donating to scientific experimentation of non implanted human embryos created in the typical IVF process. Jay, do you want me to go down each one of those and then let you dig into them? Or do you want me to just read these off and then just let you dig into them individually?
00:25:03
Speaker
No, let's go step by step. Okay, step by step. So, the belief in personhood. hu Okay, I guess that kind of makes sense? No, it doesn't. Okay. Yeah, it doesn't. And that's the point. it It doesn't. So, it's the whole It's the whole argument, the anti-abortion argument, right? That these embryos are people. Here's how you know that that's not the case. If I put a person in a freezer, they would freeze to death and they would die. But if you put an embryo in the freezer, that's how you keep it alive. So that's how you know.
00:25:53
Speaker
that embryo is not a person. It doesn't have a brain or a heart. It's just not a person. Don't have any organs. That's a comp that's a compass cell. So that's already dumb, but you have to understand these are not medical doctors making this decision. These are just, just uninformed or uninformed randos. They're just randos. But again, they're not making it they're not making a decision. They're they're incorporating this into their you know their personal constitution. like this This has no impact politically this vote
00:26:40
Speaker
It does in the sense that anyone trying to garner votes from the Southern Baptist Convention knows that, okay, this is how far they're willing to go in terms of anti-abortion and anti-IVF, anti-science. Let's call it what it is. Anti-science, right? This is how far they're willing to go. And if I want to garner their votes, that's how far I have to go, right? so that's And you already have Trump talking about how I walk side by side with you, right? So they tried it in Alabama saying that embryos were people. And they realized, oh wait, the babies we want so bad, the the the white babies they want so bad. Yeah, if people can't have them,
00:27:36
Speaker
duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. If people can't have them and then you're cutting off their access to medical support that could allow them to have children. That's ah yeah, that's that's the classic textbook definition of it backfire. Right. And they had to go and they had to backtrack and put protections in place for IVF. So this ah this idea of Andrea being a person, and this is people who who don't have any medical degrees that are saying this. So you could take that with a grain of salt. um Well, I just want to clarify. The Southern Baptist Convention in 1995 denounced their previous incarnation
00:28:32
Speaker
that were for slavery and for segregation. So it's not just white babies, they just want- No, no, no, no, no, no. Southern Baptist convention babies. No, they want- they want white babies. And we can say that, that's the truth, that they i want white babies. There's a concern, there's a concern that they won't exist in several decades, all right? There's a concern, and they have all these theories, right? Yeah, the the the replacement theory.
00:29:11
Speaker
Right, so they want more babies. It's just the reason why they're fighting immigration so much. Yeah, it's the reason why they're fighting immigration so much is is because yeah the great replacement theory is that they really- They don't care about black babies. They don't care about Latino babies. They don't care about Asian babies. Well, there's some black and some Latino and Asian people in in the Southern Baptist convention. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, well, cults attract all kinds. We saw that you see it in every cult. They attract all kinds. And if you just look up the definition of what a cult is, I'm not saying this is one, but it's cultish.
00:29:53
Speaker
Okay, let's go on to another another one of the reasons why they came to this conclusion. They have embryo concerns. A significant issue for the delegates was the creation of multiple embryos through iyf through the IVF process, some of all of which may not ultimately be implement and implanted. Excuse me. Correct. IVF often involves creating multiple embryos, as not all embryos may be viable. thats their like So they're like, basically in lamest terms, they're like, look, y'all creating all these embryos to try and create these babies, but some of them are not viable. But we think that they're a person and y'all are just discarded, so we don't agree with that. That's a concern for us.
00:30:34
Speaker
No, they're they're not even considering the fact that some of them are not viable. What they're saying is that they exist at all, that they exist, and they are not being used, they're being discarded, and that's akin to murder. okay First of all, that's partially true. There are people who donate their embryos to other couples who could not get, ah don't do not have viable embryos on their own, right? For whatever reason. So embryos can be donated, but it's true. They do make a lot of embryos in the hopes that one will attach. Like one will be viable, one will attach. It's literally, it's literally a gamble. It's such a gamble and you increase your odds
00:31:29
Speaker
of conceiving by current by trying to make embryos, right? And trying to make viable ones. But again, these embryos, not people. They're not people. You miss all the shots you don't take. Exactly. But if you if you're entering into this discussion with the idea that embryos have personhood, you're never ever going you're never going to convince that person. You're never going to convince that person. So yeah, I mean a little bit of this is us preaching to the choir, but because because they're already operating from a place of
00:32:19
Speaker
I want to say idiocy, but a misinformation or ah they're uninformed, right? okay Or there the information that they're getting is misinformation, right? The information that they're receiving from either what's being communicated to them by leadership in Southern Baptist Convention or that they're getting from different quote unquote news sources. I did the air quotes for anybody who's listening. quote unquote, news sources that are giving them this information that is, and again, not coming from medical doctors or people that work in the fertility field. You're already operating from a place where you're not going to be receptive to the truth and you're going to make decisions that you shouldn't be making. That's all I got to say about that.
00:33:09
Speaker
Next up, government involvement. The CBC urged its members to advocate for government to restrain actions inconsistent with the dignity and the value of every human being, which necessarily involves frozen, embryonic human beings. That's what they say. They're frozen, embryonic human beings. Again. Just, just that's the only response to that one is no. First of all, the government don't have no business being in my private medical decisions, period. well I don't care. The government loves being in in private medical decisions. yeah So this yeah so so that's that's a problem from from the jump, right? Yes, some of these guys are Christians. They love it. And it's funny because the photo in the Washington Post that accompanies the story is it just a bunch of white men
00:34:09
Speaker
who will never be pregnant, who who yes, they themselves can and experience infertility, they themselves can be infertile, but they will never they will never experience pregnancy. nope And they're not medical doctors. Nope. They're not even women. They don't have no business in this conversation. The government doesn't have any business in this conversation. These are private medical
00:34:42
Speaker
concerns, issues, procedures, processes, that's between me and my healthcare professional. What do you say? What do you say? Because the counter argument, I already said on YouTube, the counter argument is going to be, there's a lot of women that agree with those men that are on that picture. You know how we say not all skin focus can folk. That's what we say, just to let it out for our the audience that don't understand what that means, just because you're that you come from a certain ethnic or racial group, that doesn't mean that they all identify and a with what you think is important to the group. Right. Just because you're Black doesn't mean you can't be beholden and ah participate in the proliferation of white supremacy. Tim Scott. Booyah. Byron Donalds.
00:35:34
Speaker
Okay. Clarence Thomas. Yeah. Jinx123. It's the same for women in the patriarchy. well ah A lot of women and men not only participate and and actively maintain patriarchy, they seek to disseminate their ideology. Just because you're a woman doesn't mean that you're a feminist. Just because you're a feminist doesn't mean you support all women. Say a lot of for the people in the back. Just because you're a woman oh doesn't mean you're a feminist. And just because you're a feminist, as some of my feminists out there or people who claim to be feminists, doesn't mean that you support all women.
00:36:30
Speaker
in every variation that a woman can come in, in every way that a woman can present. And not just that, in every way people who can conceive can present. um okay So it's just like Also in this story, they talked about how 61% of the people in this Southern Baptist Conference voted against having any type of female pastoral leadership. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. and They don't allow no female pastors. 61%. That was not all men. No. there are There are women in the Southern Baptist Conference who feel as though a woman cannot be a lead pastor.
00:37:22
Speaker
Quick detour, quick detour. Okay. We're going to get back to this, ladies and gentlemen, but I want to do a quick detour. I saw a clip of a Bill Burr stand up and and he made a point that, I think Bill Burr is brilliant. And he made a point that I was like, hmm, I never thought of it like that. is And there's, go ahead, what was I going to say? Is Bill Burr brilliant? Or does he just have a black wife? it Hey, black wife effect. So he brought up hell.
00:37:55
Speaker
men are being dragged because the popularity of the WNBA isn't going up.
Adoption Hypocrisy
00:38:02
Speaker
And he was like, well, wait a minute. Why does it fall on us? I don't see a lot of women in the stands. All you women love to watch is the Kardashians and the Housewives and love and hip hop. You love to see women tear each other down. but when you have a bunch of women coming together as a team to accomplish your goal, you can't bring yourself to go to the game. right not and He was like, why does it fall on us? Where are you guys? and I was like, hu you know what? He's got a point. I'm not saying he's all the way right, but he's got a point. It's just like when Hillary Clinton was running for president and you had women at the Trump rallies.
00:38:47
Speaker
They were being asked the question, well, don't you think a woman can be president? And these were women saying, well, no, you don't know what can happen if she you know has her period or something like that. you know Women are emotional. And these were women saying it. So some of the biggest haters of women, don't get me wrong, men are still top on that list. But women participate in that. No, actually. Men are our biggest predator, but the biggest hater. Okay. That's a good distinction. That's a good distinction. Yeah. Biggest predator. Jesus. Okay. let's Let's get back to this. Okay. They did come up with some alternative solutions to IVF. Oh, i I'm just... Go ahead. I would love to see.
00:39:40
Speaker
Although the resolution expresses grief for couples experience and fertility, it encourages members to promote adoption and to consider adopting frozen embryos in order to rescue those who will eventually who are eventually to be destroyed. That's good. That I think is one good thing. that they're doing in the height of this lunacy, because there are children- You mean the thing that people are already doing? Well, not doing it at the rate that they should be doing, right? Yeah. Like, they're- Hey, why don't they start? Why don't they start by fostering? There are hundreds of thousands of children- Hundreds of thousands, fo yeah. In the foster care system. Foster care system, yep, yep. Start with you. They could. Yeah, why don't they start? It was 13 million people in the Southern Baptist Conference.
00:40:37
Speaker
That's a lot of kids going to good Christian homes, aren't they? Good Christian homes, good Christian homes. Oh, what's the problem, the expense? No, you get money for the state. You get money for the state when you foster a kid. So then what's the problem? Open up your Christian home. So what is it, the truth seekers? Is that, is that who they are? The truth bandits, they go to all these, um I feel like I'm attacking Trump, but let's be honest. The Southern Baptist Convention.
00:41:13
Speaker
they are conservative Christians. So yeah they vote for conservatism, which is the Republican. So they're going to vote for Trump. Right. yeah Yes. By and large, not all of them, some of them may actually truly be Christians and have a crisis of conscience and not be able to vote for Trump. But by and large, I would love for one of them to ask Trump to spell Christ. I Well, actually, Christ is really hard when you think about it. No, it's not. It's literally, we could spell Christmas. If you could spell Christmas. If you could spell Chris.
00:41:51
Speaker
And with a T at the end, but it doesn't see that's right. Cause that sounds like Christ, not Christ. Yeah. It's a, you know, and I has several different sounds. Yes, it does. But hooked on the phonics did not work for me. i yeah There's a lot of different sounds and I can have that Christ as well. I would like to see them. This is a man. This has been married multiple times. She's on every single wife he ever had. Was Stormy Daniels written when he was with me Melania? Melania, yes. Melania, okay. so he So she knows that he had unprotected sex with- He at least paid her off during their marriage. Well, I will say having unprotected sex with a porn star is a lot safe safer than having unprotected sex with you know some person off the street.
00:42:44
Speaker
That is, me because sex sex workers are constantly taking tests, SPD tests. They have to protect themselves, yes, for sure. That's not the point. this so There's nothing when one you nothing about him that upholds any kind of Christian ideal. He has conservative politics. He's talking about true Christian christian ideals. Right. Okay, now he is not Christ like in in any way not even close I do people understand when we say Christ who we talking about oh the Socialist Jew from the Middle East Yes, the one that was brown
00:43:26
Speaker
Yeah, with the brown hair of wool. Mm hmm. Skin of bronze. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That person. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Yeah. OK. Yeah. One offended people from all walks of life that guy. So I was saying about the truth seekers. They go around. They do these interviews at Trump rallies and they brought up because everybody is anti-abortion. And they and and people would say, you know, you can adopt the kids and the truth seekers. I wish I can remember what their actual name was. But then they were asking, would you adopt kids?
Advocating for Safe Spaces for Everyone
00:44:00
Speaker
And to every one of these people that they asked that question to, they were like, well, no, I have my own. No, we have. they They're from us. It's like, oh, so you wouldn't take a kid that is not from you. Right. But you expect other people to do it because you don't want this one thing. So your solution is something that you wouldn't do. Right. Got it. Got it. yeah Got it. Got it. There are still hundreds of thousands of kids
00:44:27
Speaker
They need homes. like that's the Just need a safe place. That's the most important thing. I don't know. To people out there, I'm reaching out to you guys. I know this is a weird thing. I put my hand out like I'm actually literally. Yeah. The thing that we covet most in life. is a safe space, a safe space to be ourselves without judgment, yeah a safe space to be able to operate in a walk of life that can give us happiness. and Hopefully we're not harming other people, right? Because you've got people out there that don't care about harming other people. But like safety is a safe space. Like mental, emotional, physical safety, right? Like what we all covet. The thing that we should be
00:45:14
Speaker
making sure above all else, because even people that don't want kids, even people that say they don't like kids still all agree children should be protected. Yes, and they are. We were all kids one time. We were all kids one time and we know what it feels like to not feel safe, not feel safe mentally, not feel safe emotionally, not feel safe physically. We've all been there. All of us as adults have been there. Yes. Why would we want to see a young, innocent child use that light in their eye when we can help? Because people like this don't care about the actual life of the child. No, you're right. You ain't lying. They don't care.
00:46:05
Speaker
So what are the political implications of this? And you said it at the top. The measure that was approved, once again, this was a measure that was approved on the under the Southern Baptist conventions, like guidelines are saying like, this is what we believe in as an organization, right? Right, right. This measure that was improved among deep concerns that IVF is under increasing threat from the anti-abortion movement. these sp These fears have spurred leest legislation at the federal labor label level from both parties. What that means is with the Southern Baptist Convention saying, we don't agree with this, all of this should be legislated. It will, from those people seeking the votes from this organization,
00:47:01
Speaker
that are courting the vote from this organization will be put on the agenda, because it already has been for 2024 during that election cycle. So this is that's the implication the implication. The Southern Baptist Convention knows exactly what they're doing. They know that this was just a measure that was approved upon by them, but they also know that everybody courting their vote, this is what they're going to have to be promoting in order to get their vote. Yeah, I mean, we already saw Democrats in the House put up a bill to protect IVF nationwide and Senate Republicans blocked it.
00:47:44
Speaker
You also have, this is actually a good thing, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected a bid to curtail the access of a widely available abortion bill. So you got wins and losses on both sides, but the Southern Baptist Convention, convention, conference, I don't know what the C stands for, the SBC. Convention, it's convention. It is convention, okay. It's convention, yeah. There's a lot of members, like I said, 13, 14 million people
00:48:25
Speaker
the majority of which are saying this is something that's important to us, that can't go that's not going to fall on deaf ears. Again, for people trying to court the Christian right vote that can't fall on deaf ears. So you're going to start seeing more battles in Congress over things like this.
Challenges in Fertility Journeys
00:48:50
Speaker
You're going to start seeing more legislation. People try to put different legislation forward at the state and at the federal level. um It's a scary time. And, you know, on a personal note, you know this, that I'm going to be starting my fertility journey soon.
00:49:08
Speaker
and it makes me very nervous to do it in the South. Yeah, because you in the South. I'm in the South. You in the South. And it's the Southern Baptist Convention, okay? Uh-oh, and there go Roscoe. No, no, that's the other one. That's Roni. Roni is barking. Yes, because I didn't let her in the room because I didn't want her jingling and making noise. So she is outside the door whining and barking to get in because she can't be not next. You hear her? She's ridiculous. yeah She has to be where I'm at. And you and and and you got two dogs and you're about to introduce some children into this in this foray in the South, yeah where the Southern bapt ah Baptist Convention is running rapid.
00:49:57
Speaker
And I want to be clear about what's also at play here. It is, there are a lot of LGBT couples o that use IVF to have children. They do not, Southern practice convention does not want that. Do they think that being gay or being part of the LGBTQ community is in and the genes, is in DNA, encoded in DNA and genetics. What do they think that more day more kids from the LGBTQ community is going to lead to more LGBTQ plus people?
00:50:40
Speaker
I think they think that. I think they think that it's a deviant behavior. I think and and they shouldn't be having and children. and Even though I don't know the statistics on this, but I know a lot of LGBT couples that they're one of the highest demographics that do foster and adopt.
00:51:04
Speaker
so and foster and adopt children with special needs as well. So I have some friends and they have adorable children with special needs. And yeah. So it's it's not just that, oh, science to have babies, we don't like it. It's not just that. It's also, oh, science to have babies, we don't like that. And also gay people can. So it's a it's a lot, like, let's be clear about what's really behind it. It doesn't have anything to do with embryonic personhood, okay? It is just another way that religion, particularly toxic Christianity like this, is weaponized to oppress and to disenfranchise. This is another example of that.
Rejecting Women in Pastoral Leadership Roles
00:52:02
Speaker
No women in leadership pastoral positions. Really a woman can't lead a church. Just think about that. they've They've kicked out churches that have done it. Yeah. Including one. I believe they reprimanded in Alexandria, Virginia. I didn't know that. Yes. would they um might go to that Just because they said they would be okay with having a female pastor in leadership, not just for the Sunday school or the women's Bible study, actually. And you know who that disenfranchises the most? Black women. Because a lot of minority Baptist churches are hit up by women
00:52:52
Speaker
though most of the women and in leadership positions and pastoral leadership positions, they are women of color.
00:53:01
Speaker
So just think about this in 2024, that we still have to have the conversation of whether or not women can lead. That we still have to have the conversation about whether my personal medical situation is even up for debate by people who are not don't have nothing to do with it. What my kids learn in school, how that's somehow now up for debate, that they can't learn anything about about about Black people and Black history or indigenous ah Indigenous folks' history or anything, and they can't learn if anything. Now, it's cool for us to go through it. It's cool for Ruby Bridges.
00:53:48
Speaker
Little self trying to go to integrate the first school to be spit on. It's cool for her to have gone through it, but not for your kid to learn about it. The whole system is broke. Message.
00:54:10
Speaker
All right, Jay.
Generational Differences and Fashion Trends
00:54:17
Speaker
You wanted to talk about millennials and Gen Z. Yeah. And this is going to wrap up today's episode. Yeah. So so it all started. This conversation all started and I'm going to let you go, Jay. This conversation all started because I'm turning 44 soon. hi And back in my younger years, I used to have both of my ears pierced. Yeah. I had both of my ears pierced right before, right when it became a thing because like most people only, most dudes only had one ear pierced. I remember I came home with both ears pierced and dad was like, you trying to tell me something? I'm like, no, this is a style now. Yes.
00:54:54
Speaker
It's like you wear diamonds in both ears. I don't know about this. But, you know, well, not to not to be toxic. Wait, wait till Cameron and Dip said it. It gets even more literally. Yeah, because Cameron, for all of his faults, Cameron was a person that gave me the confidence to wear my favorite color, which is paint pink, pink. I love pink as my, you asked me this yeah yesterday. What's your favorite color? Isn't it blue or green? It used to be, and I still love those colors, yes but it's actually pink. Anyway, so I decided to get my ears re-pierced because i I took the earrings out years ago because I developed a keloid in one ear.
00:55:36
Speaker
which might not be a Keyloid, it might be an allergic reaction, but anyway. So I decided to get them both pierced and I was wearing them before we got on the air today. does Just to show you what they look like. yeah And my sister would tell me if I looked foolish. And she was like, no, they look good. And I was like, cool. I'm back in full effect." But then that got you going on on a rant about millennials and Gen Z. So I'm going to just let you get into that rant because it looked like it was it was going to be all... It might be good. It might be. Yeah. So listen, you know this started also because
00:56:15
Speaker
Millennials were saying that Gen Z is aging bad. They're not aging as well as we are, right? I'm not on here to bash anybody. I actually really think Gen Z is amazing. They are changing culture. They're changing culture. They're changing work culture. They're changing social culture. And we all know that the the majority of change agents, especially when it comes to society, is the young. It's the youth. And they're the smartest generation because they have more access to information and they are accessing that information as opposed to older generations that are dumb as hell. But anyway, continue. Yes. The fact that, again, the PDF seems to be the bane of a boomer's existence. But it's neither here nor there. No. What I want to talk about is
00:57:16
Speaker
Millennials giving Gen Z some grace because it wasn't that long. It was 10 or 20 years ago when we were their age, right? So, and we remember looking at Gen X in their 30s and 40s and thinking, y'all are, oh. We we remember, but I remember being like that. I remember being like that. But here's the thing, and then I want to get across to Gen Z.
00:57:44
Speaker
The way that time works, every year you're gonna get a year older. Right, that's how that works. And that's how time works. And so your comments now about people in their thirties and forties are not gonna age well when you're in your thirties and forties. Well, we did the same thing though. We did the same thing and guess what? Now that I'm in my 30s and 40s, I'm like, i I don't feel that old at all. I don't feel that mature.
00:58:26
Speaker
I don't know. Like, I thought. Those are two different things I thought she was heading on. No, I mean, no, I mean, I don't feel. Because my body feels old. My body, I cannot do this kind of things I was able to do four years ago. Physically, you know, hangover, back in the day, I could be out till 6, 7 in the morning, go shower, change my clothes, head to class, OK? So now hangovers last a week. so Not a week. Yeah, they're not quick, OK? So I get it. Yes, we are definitely not young anymore. But the thing of it is, and I think this is what young people don't understand and what they will understand when they get to our age, is that we don't want to be you if our life depends on it. Wait a minute. What? I would not want to go back to being a teen and a 20-year-old. 20-something.
00:59:23
Speaker
And I don't think most people in their 30s and 40s would. And the reason why I say that is, is because you become more of yourself the older you get. Okay, that's true, yeah. You learn to set boundaries, but now, to be to their credit, Gen Z is learning this stuff much, much earlier, which I think is West Asian. ah Y'all are recognizing and confronting trauma, and right that takes a toll, right? right young with think You would think that avoiding your trauma through alcohol and and drugs would age you, and it does to a certain extent, yeah but confronting it
01:00:11
Speaker
ages you a lot quicker. Yeah. Oh, go in no contact with a parent or, or standing up to your boss. That is some stress inducing. See, the reason why millennials look the way that we look is why we've been through hell. If you look at what it's been like since 1980 to today, we done bit this. We done been through hell. Okay. Yeah. This is true. Hey, we cope. the best way we know how. And that is by tuning out and turning off. And that is what has kept us going. Tuning out, turning off, and then turning up.
01:00:50
Speaker
Yes. And that's what's kept us young. wi And then slowly we get around to setting boundaries and stuff like that. but But no, but the point is, is like you become more of yourself. You understand more of what you like, what you love, what you'll tolerate, what you won't tolerate. You're more comfortable in your skin and standing up for yourself. I feel like I gained a better sense in myself when as I got older because I stopped caring so much about what other people thought. so And I feel like that's so much about what youth is because you're still trying to learn how to be an adult. And you do that by watching the people around you.
01:01:33
Speaker
no But then you get to an age where you're just like, how the hell with that? I'm just gonna do what I want because I ain't got that much time left. You feel like you got all the time in the world when you're young. But so my my advice to Gen Z, for whatever that's worth, you didn't ask for it. I'm going to give it anyway. This show is called Unsolicited Perspectives.
01:02:03
Speaker
Be mindful that you will be us. And there is a generation behind you, generation I, who is looking at you now thinking you're old. Mm-hmm. oh and that y'all don't know nothing. And the thing is, we gotta stop doing this and recognize that our common enemy is boomers. Okay, so this is, no. No, I'm not gonna, yeah. Not really a joke, but a joke. I think, I think, okay. I think people need to recognize who they're getting their advice from.
01:02:43
Speaker
yeah There is nothing worse than an old fool. Yeah. And there's a lot of old fools in the millennial generation and Gen X and in the boomers, right? Yeah. And Gen Z is recognizing quicker than let's say millennials did. of who are these old fools that we should not be listening to. And even when we did recognize an old fool saying something stupid, we didn't correct him because we felt like it was not polite to correct your elders. Whereas Gen Z is like, actually, you're completely wrong and let me tell you why. And I like that. Now, also Gen Z,
01:03:32
Speaker
You need to be open to listening to an older person when they're not a fool. Because we do got a little bit of knowledge, right? but yeah but But I trust Gen Z to be able to look at people, size them up, and be like, all right, this is somebody who's actually got some knowledge I should listen to, and somebody that's an old fool that I shouldn't listen to. Because we got some old fools in our lives. Yeah. ah Millennials are not off the hook because I see you guys baiting them on social media. I see you guys baiting Gen Z on social. Oh, we look younger than you guys. I'm 40 and I look younger than you at 25. Why are you doing that?
01:04:12
Speaker
You're 40? You are a 40-year-old first thing. And you recentista. Now, recentista then turned into something. But also, if you listen to that recentista story, that's an old fool. That's an old fool. That's an old fool, right? Yeah. Because, I mean, that was pretty dumb. Now, she didn't turn around for herself. She made some deals, and she was just storytelling. One last thing. Doing her thing. She's still an old fool. Yes. Yes. So you don't want to listen to her about relationship advice. I just don't see what's the benefit of us telling Gen Z that we're aging better than they are. What's the benefit? This is a young person that's trying to come into themselves. Don't act like you don't remember what that's like.
01:05:05
Speaker
Kind of like my conversations and about people recognizing what it was like when they were kids and wanting to be safe. Recognizes what you were when you were younger. Yeah, this is a good point. Don't forget, just because we grew up and we've got grown people problems. And let me tell you, grown people problems are trash. That's the reason why I wouldn't mind going back to being 20 something. No, man, I just... um Being broke at 20 is a whole lot different than being broke at 35, 40. That's true. That broke was a whole different, it was like, I ain't got a whole lot of money, but I'm going to go and they have in dollar bud night at Santa Fe bar. And it was acceptable to do that. It's not acceptable to go to dollar bud night and you 45. That's unacceptable. That's completely unacceptable. That's unacceptable. And even though it's a deal and we got grown people problems and grown people financial issues, and that is a deal that we should be able to take advantage of, we can't. We can't. My point is, millennials need to have a little grace with this younger generation. OK, they don't like your crew socks. Guess what? I don't either. I switched to ankle, and I never looked back. They're right.
01:06:29
Speaker
Y'all get some horrible socks and lines. Crew socks is coming back, though. No, I don't want them to. I hate it. And I see people on the street when they socks pulled up. Yeah, the crew socks is coming back. up i'm not but out Look, there's certain things that I'm just like, look, I don't care if that's the fashion right now. I don't care. I'm not rocking that. I'm not doing it. I'm not going back to baggy clothes again. I like clothes that fit me. I yeah have a pretty nice body that I work hard on. It would usually be better, but it's still pretty good. I like to show it all. yeah I don't want to wear baggy clothes where nobody can see my cuts and builds. I don't want to go back to that.
01:07:04
Speaker
And millennials, we just gotta be honest with ourselves. there was a I saw another article, I can't remember the publication, but I saw another article about millennials not being like on trend fashion-wise. Yeah, we never were. The 80s were ugly. That was a boy ugly. It was ugly. The 80s were ugly. The 90s were all right. to a certain extent, but we were business casual in the club. Yeah. Okay, there we that was never fashionable. Never fashionable, it was just what we did. And we need to start owning up to some of the stuff that we did. the debt it It just wasn't cool.
01:07:58
Speaker
Well, I think when we look back at every generation, that the fashion was like, I look at the 70s and I'm just like, no. What was y'all doing? Yeah, what was y'all doing, right? Like we see pictures um of our mom and dad in the 70s and it's like. what's What's happening? What was you doing right there in this picture? right well And I've got personal pictures. You definitely got them. I definitely got them. Listen, the number one person who was business casual in the club was me. If you want to know who was rocking a blazer in the club, it was your girl. If you want to know your who had on flats and a big belt around my waist,
01:08:44
Speaker
and a peplum or a peplum top, it was your girl. I can't subscribe to that. I was all about the business casual in my 20s. It was ugly. Well, sometimes you can, sometimes you can bring stuff back and and still make it work.
