You notice she coming up with the astrology MO got that comic
and that's the best policy. Maurice the goat talking about
animation because you know oh does she move away?
We like the boat, watch some movies and she taking notes.

(00:42):
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Black and Snardy
podcast, the only podcast where two sexy black nerds get
together to shoot the shit. I am MO AKA Kid Licorice.
And I'm Odie. And together, we are the
aforementioned nerds. Here on episode 159 of the Black
and Snardy podcast. Bam.
Bam bam bam. How are you doing today?

(01:06):
I am exhausted. Yeah, I'm so tired.
I could not get to sleep last night.
And because I couldn't get to sleep last night, well, I got to
sleep at like, I don't know, it's like 7:00 in the morning
and like, okay, now the good parts about not being able to
sleep. I washed the dishes, cleaned up

(01:27):
some stuff. I didn't have to do that today.
Like you know, that was good. But then the hard part is I went
to sleep around 7:00. I woke up around, I think it was
12/22 'cause I remember looking at the clock and so that was
about 5 hours. But there is something to be
said about like, you know, your circadian rhythms, which is like

(01:48):
why your body, it's like when itgets dark, you get sleepy and
then gets light, you wake up. So I feel like when you go to
sleep during the day after beingup all night, it's not the same
type of sleep, you know? And then like, I cannot go to
sleep. I couldn't take a nap at all
today because I know I have to wake up early tomorrow for work.

(02:11):
And because of that, if I try toeven sleep for 30 minutes,
thirty minutes. I don't get that one.
You're not chronically online like I am, OK.
But if I don't go to sleep, if Igo to sleep at any amount of
time, like I'm going to be up for the rest of the day.
Yeah, it's going to throw thingsoff.

(02:32):
So I'm just braving through thisday.
Well, you're a brave woman. Thank you very.
Much and we salute you. We salute you for for staying up
and not going to sleep. Thank you very much.
I appreciate that. You know, I, I do what I can for
the people. Yes.

(02:52):
How are you doing? Very tired, like very, very
tired. And I have to get up early
tomorrow too, 'cause I have my doctor's thing and then I have
that other thing at. Yeah, so it's so it's just being
an adult fucking. Sucks.
Yeah, it does. Adulting sucks.
Yes it does. I'm I miss being a child

(03:14):
sometimes. I was telling my I was talking
to my little brother today and Iwas like, you know, he's gonna
be 25. Yeah, so I was just like, you
know, he's having his like early20s kind of like feels of like
where he wants to be. And I was like, this is the this
time of your life is supposed tobe like crazy and weird.

(03:38):
Yeah, 20s is supposed to be 20s is supposed to be like a weird
amalgamation of different experience.
Yeah. And so I was just like, you
know, this is the best time of your life to do the things that
you want to do because the late as you get older, the more
responsibilities you have. So you can't just be like, you

(04:01):
know, carefree or whatever. And even though obviously we're
not geriatric. Oh, Seth Rogen won for the
studio. Oh, good job.
Yeah, sorry that that literally just popped up on my phone for
some reason. But it's like you just have to
take things in stride because this is the time when you're
figuring your life out. You want to do different things,

(04:22):
you want to try different things, you want to do all the
different stuff. That's great, but, you know, be
happy that you're not. Be happy, live life, get an STD
like explore yourself son you. Know about that?
Yeah, come on. Chlamydia.
No, Get it with the antibiotics.It's fun.
I mean, that's probably, I mean.Maybe I like it wrong.

(04:46):
Maybe I like it wrong. No, just terrible.
Oh. Boy, but yeah, you know, it's
just adulting. Adulting.
Yeah, you kind of just adult every fucking day.
It's a Carnival Cruise. It's a merry go round.
It's the fucking line at Trader Joe's.

(05:08):
You never know what it's going to be like, but you do know you
got to stick it through. You know what they say, what
life is a highway? I want to ride it all night
long. And that's how you get
chlamydia. And that is how you get
chlamydia. All right, is that going to be
the episode? Time I was thinking about it,

(05:30):
that's. How you get chlamydia man, Our
parents listen to this. I know, aren't they proud?
I don't even know how to spell it, but it's all good, it's
there. Now listen.
I feel like every day. Every day, in every way, I am

(05:50):
getting better. Yes, but I, I feel like, you
know, the women in my bloodline are so happy that I am living my
life as ridiculous as possible because at this point, my
mother, my grandmothers, my great grandmothers, aunt, all

(06:15):
them, they were married with children, tired as fuck, just
like doing all these things theythought they had to do.
And I'm just fucking shenanigansand chicanery.
Yeah. Whimsy abound.
You're you're a wildflower. I'm a wild one, okay?

(06:35):
And I like it. Wow, wow, wow all.
Right. Are you ready to take it down a
little bit? And we are going to do our RIP
corner and pay respects to thosewe have lost this week.

(06:59):
So we are going to give honor tosomeone that has passed away
this week. Her name is.
Her name was Sarita Domingo. She was an author from London.
She wrote about a lot of things,but mostly having to, you know,

(07:22):
her. Her topics generally were around
Oh my God. Oh my.
God, Alexa, stop. God.
Oh, Jesus. All right, so we want to take it
down a notch and pay our respects to Sarita Domingo.
She was an author from London whose work primarily centered

(07:46):
around black people, black women, and she passed away
suddenly this week on Friday. And so we just want to say thank
you for sharing your work with us.
There's no word yet on how she passed or why, but you know, we

(08:06):
have so much love and appreciation for the work that
she brought into this world. And just thank you for sharing
your thoughts and bringing the space for Black people, Black
women especially, to write what they know, share their words
with the world and and making that possible.
So we say thank you for all you've done and we are sending

(08:30):
our love to your family and friends and your fans and all
those that need you. The best thing about, you know,
having written so much is that her legacy will live on.
Yes, and she has I honestly so many books that she's worked on
that she's published. Mm hmm.

(08:51):
The three of us who's loving you.
She had a book that came out in May entitled The Possibility
about a black woman dealing witha sudden health crisis and also
dealing with love and how that, you know, shapes that journey.
So please go out, support her work.

(09:14):
You know, I'm sure you could find it in your library,
Audible, etcetera. But you know, we have to give
props to those who brought joy and love into the world, even as
after they've passed. Rest in power, Miss Domingo.
We usually fade it down. Oh, sorry.

(09:36):
It's OK. It's OK.
Shall we get into some mayhem? Shenanigans.
Shenanigans with our pop topics.When you want a hot field
without a big. Deal what?
Are you gonna pick? Pop Topics.
All right, so the first thing that we are going to talk about

(09:58):
the, I think, I don't know if you recall the elephant in the
room, but something that has obviously been taking over the
news cycle this week, the murderof Charlie Kirk.
Yes. If you did not know Charlie

(10:19):
Kirk, he was a right wing podcaster who had so many
terrible views. He noted, notably spent his time
harassing George Floyd's family and people within the Black

(10:43):
Lives Matter space by saying that you know he, George Floyd,
Floyd didn't die by having the officer's knee on his neck.
It was fentanyl. He talked a lot about Second
Amendment rights and how, you know, we have to just accept the

(11:06):
fact that there is going to be those dying by gun violence,
although, you know, to be able to keep our Second Amendment.
He also espoused that empathy was a ridiculous notion.
That was some New Age thing. And this is, you know, how I

(11:26):
personally feel. I can't speak about anybody
else. This this puts in two succinct
words how I feel about his passing.
Same thing that everybody says that his assassination was the
result of the climate of hate, but only I only only I said the

(11:48):
chickens came home the roof and which means the same thing.
Climate of hate means that this is this is the result.
Of something. And when I said chickens coming
home, the roof, I mean chickens coming, the rules, I said the
same thing. But you did.
You did not say that you were glad the president was killed.
No, that's what the press said. So yeah, there has been so much

(12:08):
controversy around this murder. Yes.
I don't know if you saw the video.
I watched the. Video I absolutely refused to I
I've I have personally, I can't view like videos of violence on

(12:30):
social media like that. Like I've I've, I'm tapped out.
Yeah, I mean, the thing about itwas when I watch, when I was
watching the video, I just, I didn't know really what
happened. It just said that he was shot.
And so like with most gun violent violence situations,
people are sharing the news, thenews is sharing it, people are

(12:53):
sharing on social media. And it was honestly, it was
horrific. You should never have to see
anyone going about their day, regardless of who they are
getting shot. Yeah.
And this is something that gun or gun, I don't know if you
called, it's not gun activists, anti gun advocates have been

(13:16):
talking about for so long that taking out like police related
shootings, the fact that an individual can have a gun, bring
it somewhere and shoots one or multiple people is horrendous,
Right. And we can all agree that
nobody, regardless of who they are, should be doing something,

(13:41):
going about their everyday life and getting shot.
Yeah, this is something we have been talking about for years
that I mean we were in like second or third grade in
Columbine happened. Yeah, I think we were in.
I remember coming home and watching the news of the
children pouring out of the school and all the things and

(14:03):
the shootings that have happenedsince then.
We have been begging for the government, government to do
something about gun reform. Some form of gun control.
And it has not happened. It didn't if if it didn't happen
when elementary school children were murdered.

(14:24):
Was that Parkinson? No, that was another school
shooting Sandy Hook. Sandy Hook?
Yeah, sorry. December 2012.
I believe that was he had graduated from college.
Right, right, right, right, right.
And we are day in, day out, evenliterally right before school
started, there was a school. Well right before school started
in New York, there was a school shooting in another part of the

(14:48):
country. Children harmed, students,
teachers harmed. The nation is in crisis and it
we have to wonder, like, why is this happening?
The only answer that I come up with is that people just we,
they don't care. The sad thing is, and the sad
truth is that shootings, whetherthey're in schools or nightclubs

(15:13):
or movie theaters, movie theaters, temples.
When you're walking around at a festival, it's hurt.
It's become normalized like and it it.
It has become so normalized thatlike we could, we literally just
sat here and listed off a bunch of actual real locations that

(15:34):
got shot. Even all of them.
And not even all of. Them even I we if we try to name
all of the the mass the list. Is too long.
The list is too. Long shootings in public of
people going about their day, doing their business, regardless
of who they are, where they're from, all of those things.
It would take the entirety of the podcast.

(15:55):
Yes it would. And it's something where, like,
as an American, it feels like this is our legacy.
This is what we are known for. Every time I am out of this
country, it feels like one. I'm getting asked about people
like, are you scared to be in America?

(16:16):
And also, when I'm out of this country, there always seems to
be a shooting of some sort that people are just going about
their day and they're getting shot.
And it's not about like, OK, you're talking about all.
It's gang violence, all right? These are just people who are,
for whatever reason, they're disgruntled, they're angry, and
they're coming after other humans and shooting them.

(16:41):
And so, of course, because of Charlie Kirk's rhetoric, the
things that he put out into the world, there has been all of
this kind of conversation and discourse about whether people
are celebrating his death, whether they should be happy,
they should be sad, We should bewarning them.

(17:03):
Like the Republicans and the MAGA supporters are calling this
a political shooting, which I have a lot of problem with
because he was not a politician.He was never a politician.
He never served in the military.Like in no way was he elected to
anything is his wise. He was a political figure of

(17:26):
some kind. Well, I mean, I would.
Maybe you could? Call him.
I mean, he got he he like his influence was a good portion of
why the president got. Elected.
Oh yeah, of course. Or at least at least his
influence like helped in that regard.
And one thing that to me it's sotelling is really the response

(17:51):
to his shooting, because before anyone knew anything, they were
blaming it on trans people. They were saying he was going to
be a non, they were going to be non white.
They were saying it was. Liberal I believe is it is her
name Nancy Mace. Yes.

(18:11):
Let me see if I can, if I could find the tweets that she put out
because before she before any ofus knew who is The Who the
shooter was, she was on record saying things like this one

(18:39):
second. Let me share it.
This is what she was saying about who the shooter might have
been. Not is enough and now I have to
deal with real safety concerns. It sounds like the shooter was a
tranny or pro tranny. And just because I want to

(19:00):
protect women that I'm worried about getting murdered.
Are you fucking kidding me? This is it's out of control and
and enough is enough. And I'm going to double down on
this. I'm going to be more vigilant
than ever. I'm going to be louder than I've
ever been until this shit stops.It's got to stop this and.
The it's it's incredible to me how quickly misinformation is

(19:26):
disseminated. Yeah, and it's one of those
things where, you know, before we find out, you know, we see
how people are talking about trans.
It's the little people. Nancy Mace was tweeting out all
the person deserves a death penalty.
But then when we found out who this person was, their name is

(19:51):
Tyler Robinson. What?
They're 22 years old. This is a photo of them.
And so from what we know about them, their family, Republican
family, they personally were listed as unaffiliated on their,

(20:15):
you know, registration for voting registration from a, his
father, I believe is a sheriff in law enforcement and.
Then after we find out it's a white man from Utah, then it's,
oh, she's like, oh, we, we. If he could have sat down with

(20:35):
Charlie Kirk, you know, this never would have happened.
But the. It didn't matter that people
found out what was going on. The first group of people who
were targeted. Yeah.
After Charlie Kirk's murder, were black people, Yeah.
Black people, blacks and trans people.

(20:57):
And trans people, yes, and transpeople, but they literally there
were death threats and shooting threats coming in on HPC
campuses across the country. You.
Want to segue into that? Sure.
At NYU, there was some sort of like mass e-mail going around

(21:20):
talking about they were going tobe targeting black students,
They're going to be shooting them, hurting them.
And I think that to me it's, this is indicative of the type
of hate and vitriol that CharlieKirk brought into this world
because even though he may neverhave shot someone, harm someone

(21:43):
or anything like that, but he did push people to go to the
January 6 riots and storm the Capitol, right?
And so we have all this conversation of people like, you
shouldn't celebrate the someone's death.
You shouldn't like be apathetic to someone's death.

(22:03):
Someone who said that they don'tbelieve in empathy, they don't
care, and that someone who literally pushed people to go to
the Capitol and wanted that, whowanted to murder the people in
there. So just because they themselves
may not have ever done any physical harm, words mean

(22:26):
things. And we know, yes, we could ask
any marginalized group whether or not the words from someone
who is popular, whether they're a politician or not, can cause
them harm. Yes.
Do we not think that George Floyd's family may have been
harmed by Charlie Kirk sending his fans to constantly send them

(22:53):
threats, doxing professors at universities that they felt
were, you know, too liberal and had different views?
Like these are the things that this man was doing.
This is his legacy. And I find it really surprising
that you have people like such as Doctor Umar who tweeted out

(23:20):
or instagrammed out. While I did not agree with Mr.
Kirk's rhetoric and considered him to be an anti black bigot, I
will never rejoice at the loss of life of anyone who hasn't
directly participated in the other liven of a member of the
Black African race. I am ashamed to see members of
my community celebrating the situation.
I will never ask you to mourn the loss of an enemy of our

(23:40):
race, but to celebrate not alive.
It's completely unacceptable. We know all too well that the
greatest recipients of politicalassassinations in this country
have been our own people. Stop laughing at the misfortunes
of others and get prepared. Political assassinations have
returned to the United States ofAmerica courtesy of the Deep
State. Now I want to say when the

(24:02):
Minnesota congresswoman and her husband were assassinated, I
don't remember half of the people talking about this.
It wasn't blasted all over the news, you know, like, so there
we talked about this on the podcast previously.

(24:23):
Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot.
There was another legislature legislator from Minnesota Soda,
who was also shot with his his wife.
Thankfully they survived but I just find the it's so
hypocritical. Yeah, that is.
The we have the president who isconstantly talking about harming

(24:47):
people and. Yeah, harming his enemies and
and clear up like OK, the human part of me is like somebody
died. Yes, of course they died in

(25:08):
front of their wife and. Children, they, they died in
front of their wife and children.
They died as part of a public shooting.
That's horrific. That's horrible.
There's the other side of me that's like the person who this
happened to. I don't feel sympathy past the

(25:38):
human level. Yeah, You know what I mean?
Yeah. Like, I'm not going to shed
tears. I'm not going to cry.
I'm not going to, you know, do the.
I didn't. There's a clear reason why we
didn't put them in the RIP section.
Yeah. And The thing is that the.
His rhetoric was dangerous. Yeah.

(25:58):
He spread a lot of of of of hateful ideas.
He trafficked in it. He created a.
Whole, whether he believed, whether he believed it in his
heart or not, he spread this hate.
He was a part of that. And that is his legacy.

(26:18):
Yeah, that is what he will be remembered by.
But I don't think that that someone saying this is someone's
legacy is celebrating, right? I, I don't think that we need a
ticker taper parade to shout up and down, oh look, this man was
killed. Cause at the end of the day, it
is horrifying yes, that you could regardless of whatever you

(26:42):
might think or believe that anyone in this country could be
physically harmed because of what what they just believe
because we have free speech and although we have free speech,
we, we are that does not mean weare free of consequences from
that speech. And I think I wish that this

(27:06):
would mean that we're going to get some gun control, but I'm.
But that's the that's the fuckedup thing.
Yeah, the fucked up thing is that literally, and I've gotten
to to this point, nothing is going to happen as far as gun
control in this country. Yeah.
We literally have witnessed and have been not a part of it, but

(27:31):
like we have seen with our eyes on the news, instances of all
shapes and sizes, of all ages and creeds.
It's, it's almost, it's almost the American way at this point.
Not almost. It really is.
Someone is disgruntled. A young white man is disgruntled

(27:52):
about something, even if like they've they've allegedly said
like the shooter was a fan of Nick Fuentes, who's also a right
wing podcaster who sheds a lot of negativity out in the world.
They're saying that was the reason behind it and that like,

(28:13):
he was just like mad because he didn't like him.
But the idea that someone does not like you and we'll come out
and shoot you like, are we in the fucking wild, Wild West?
We are. It's it's insane.
And oh, I'm sorry, the it's not the wild, Wild West because

(28:34):
people are getting caught. Well, yes, if it was the wild,
if it was truly the Wild West, people would be getting murdered
and never getting God. You know what I mean?
Like. I mean the conspiracy.
Theorist and people getting awaywith things.
The conspiracy theorist in me feels like this is some B613
plot to like start off a civil war because imagine if the if

(28:56):
that if the way that black people were being targeted just
all over the idea, even after they people knew who it was, but
they immediately wanted to talk target by people.
It's like, are we so pressed to keep the Epstein files out the
news and to start a civil war? You didn't even win the first

(29:18):
one that we're just gonna createthese kind of terrorism.
And the craziest part about it is his father is the one that
turned him in. Yeah, he told his father and I
think like someone else's familyand they turned him in.
Dude, now question, do you thinkthat your parents, either one of
them, would turn you in if you committed something, any sort of

(29:41):
crime like this? I won't say who, but I have a
very good feeling that one of myparents would and one of my
parents wouldn't. I'm not going to say which one
is which because of this platform and because I I like my

(30:03):
Thanksgivings, but one yes, one no.
Neither of them are putting me in.
They're sending me to Nigeria. I'm going to a non extradition.
Extradition extradited. Yeah, I'm not going to be
extradited. Yeah, I'm going to just be never

(30:25):
coming back to America. But it's crazy that your father
would turn you in, especially ina state that still has the death
penalty. Like, could you imagine?
Like did he just really want that 100K?
Reward. Oh I didn't realize a reward
was. Yeah, they had like a it was a

(30:46):
reward, you know, like usually when there's some sort of high
profile. I thought it was just like he
did the right thing. I.
Mean also, it could have been that, but I think that like I I
can't help but wonder, did the did the reward push him over the
edge of like, Oh well, down to pay off my student loans?

(31:07):
Hey, I'm I'm close to retirement.
We really want to pull. That 100K is look, I can go down
to Florida. In Utah, I.
Can go down to bulk overtone andI assume all old people go to
bulk overtone to retire they. Do or Key West?
Or Key West, Yes, somewhere warmand where hurricanes will fuck

(31:28):
you up. But the last thing that we're
going to say before we move on to greener pastures is I hope
that Americans will use this situation as I would say, a
cautionary tale of what it meanswhen you spread around hate and

(31:52):
vitriol. Yes.
When you have a platform, you have a responsibility, Yes, to
be mindful of the information that is spewing out of your
mouth. Because some people, it doesn't
matter what you think. It doesn't matter if you think

(32:13):
all I'm just saying is just words.
But some people really and trulytake these things to heart.
Yes they do. And it can come with negative
consequences. And like that, really, we just
need gun control. I mean, his wife doesn't think
so. She's like doubling down on his
rhetoric. Not surprise, surprise.
But I just, I want us as Americans to do better and to be

(32:38):
better and not to have to, you know, sit in fear that we are
going to be mowed down by a bullet anywhere out unless
you're on a battlefield. That is really the only way and
reason why you should be worriedabout getting shot, blown up or

(33:01):
any of these atrocities. Like this literally happened.
Was was the day before 911, the 24th anniversary like this
country has had compared to bothcountries, not as many
terroristic events. But it feels like we are living
under constant threat of terrorism, domestic terrorism

(33:24):
from our own people because there are folks who are waking
up every day that it has nothingto do with mental illness, has
nothing to do with, you know, the religion or whatever the
case may be. It has to do with them believing
that it is OK to shoot someone because they are angry.

(33:44):
And that in itself is a problem because that isn't that should
not be who we are. I do not think that is has
anything to do with what the founders of this country
believed. They may not have believed in
black people and brown people and women and all the white
people who are not wealthy having rights, but they

(34:06):
definitely didn't believe that you should be shot for speaking,
regardless of how disgusting thewords coming of you out of your
mouth are. And you should not be in fear of
your life that you are going to be mowed down just by doing your

(34:26):
job, by enjoying yourself, by like, being at home, like it's
just what is enough, enough, Youknow, And the politicians in
this country who will create this narrative that this is
some, you know, liberal agenda or whatever the case may be.

(34:47):
They're already trying to say, Isaw some news reports that he
had like a trans roommate. They're going to try to pin this
on trans people somehow, someway, you know, And it's
just, it's a. Few obfuscation.
And it's unnecessary. And there's so many other things
we could be doing with our time.And if we didn't have to deal

(35:10):
with gun violence, like maybe wewould have a high speed rail,
maybe, you know? Or at the very least, funnel in
some money towards this crumbling infrastructure.
Crumbling infrastructure that isknown as the MTA.
All right, Are you ready to get into some actual pop topics?
Yeah, sure. All right, so we did.

(35:34):
We talk about the new Street Fighter movie.
No, we did not. So Street Fighter is coming to
theaters? Yes, And they have.
Street For those of you who are not in the know or who aren't
sexy nerds like us, yes Street fighters based on the video game
franchise Street Fighter. You know guile, name three

(36:00):
street fighters go. I don't know their names, I just
picked the characters. Who's the lady?
I will name, I will name 3 and and I just named Guile, so I
won't include Guile. Chun Li.

(36:21):
E Honda Chun Li. Yeah.
E Honda, Right you. So The thing is when you say the
names. Ken M Bison Ball Rock.
When you say the names, I know them, but I, I can't, I wouldn't
have been able to explicitly saylike, oh, this is who it is.
So these are some of the people they have.
They have Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Santino from oh gosh where

(36:47):
was he in that show on Netflix? Noah Santino.
It was the one the letters. To Neo, to all the boys I've
kissed and shit. No to all the boys I've led
before, OK? Umm, she, Kalina Liang is going
to be Chin Lee Cody Rhodes. Cody Guyo, American nightmare is

(37:11):
going to be Guyo. I can't wait to see his haircut.
He is going to be really good. I think that he is definitely.
I mean, he's obviously a more attractive guyo because that is
not a good drawing. We have a lot of people who are
gonna be in this movie. I believe Rome is Roman Reigns.
Yes, Roman Reigns is also gonna be in this movie, Andrew.

(37:33):
Schultz. Yeah, Andrew Schultz is gonna.
Be in this movie too. Yeah Andrew, Roman Reigns is
akuma. And then we have someone who is
planning on being Balrog. Balrog who?
Honestly this took me by complete surprise, but $0.50

(38:01):
and. Yeah, turn that music off.
So this is him training. He has the Balrog haircut.
Now now, as far as trans body transformations are concerned,
I'm not surprised that $0.50 went to this level of extremes

(38:25):
to play a character. Did you ever?
That movie. Watched he got really skinny I.
Think he was supposed to be likea cancer?
Patient, yeah. Yeah, I.
Never saw the movie but I'm veryfamiliar with the he he's the
he's the black. What is the He was Batman?

(38:48):
What's his name? Man, this.
He was in the Christopher Nolan Batman's.
Is it Chris, not Chris Bateman? No, no it's not.
What is his name? The Christopher Nolan Batman was

(39:09):
this is going to bother me. I don't even I cannot remember
but the movie is called Things Fall Apart.
Yes, things fall apart. This is how he looked for that
movie. He dropped 54 lbs in nine weeks,
according to. Christian Bale, Christian.

(39:30):
My name was Christian. Christian Bale?
Yeah, He's the black Christian Bale.
Yeah, is what I'm trying to say.Because Machinist.
Yeah, and the machinist, Yeah, that was him.
But you know, he's the thing about him, he is an entertainer,
yeah. Through and through, Yeah.
And he is going to create a, youknow, a a character or he is

(39:56):
going to, you know, bring a character to life as best as
possible. Yeah.
So I think that when I've seen $0.50 or Curtis Jackson in
movies, I think he's done well. So.
I'm looking forward to this movie.
I remember him and get rich or die trying.
I remember that that slippery shower scene.

(40:19):
Oh yeah. Oh, sorry, I forgot to put that
up there. Yeah, yeah, the slippery shower
scene. And get rich or die trying where
they're sliding over, trying to kill each other, just sliding
all across the naked men. Naked black men sliding,
slipping and sliding, trying to shake each other.
Yeah, very homoerotic. Penises flying everywhere.

(40:40):
But, you know, good for him. Yeah, Good for.
Good for 50 seconds. He'd be on some other timing a
lot, but it's kind of like all right, I guess he's a the hugest
troll in the world. I'm sure he's going to come.
It's. Like he shed all of the
pettiness in order for to to transform into this.

(41:01):
World. That's only reason why we
haven't heard from him so long. Exactly.
He hasn't been available to be petty.
Exactly. Alright so another so this is a
comic situation that I I found this and I was very curious
about whether or not you have heard of spider ramen.

(41:24):
No. So no, I am not OK.
Full disclosure, Spider Man, I did not realize how vast the
Spider Man universe was. Yeah, like in and of itself.
It's a whole multiverse of madness.
It's Multiverse of Madness, It'sit's own universe.

(41:49):
This is why Sony is milking Spider Man for all of its worth.
There's supposed to be a new onecoming out soon.
There it well, you're talking about beyond the spider verse.
That's yeah, yeah. That one has gotten delayed
several times. Well, and it's going to be
amazing. I just watched Across the Spider
verse again. Yeah.

(42:10):
And it is so good. It still holds up.
The movie is phenomenal. It's a it's a Sony movie and
it's in the same style as K Pop Demon Hunters.
Yes, which I love yes, which onewe love, but here is this is a

(42:35):
this influencer content creator is talking about Peter Pot
Noodle, Pot Noodle and I honestly I just kind of loved
it. No, let me go back.
Is the cell this epsilon? Yeah so I had a lot of you

(42:56):
asking in my last video, who in the world is this ramen noodle
spider man? Well let's talk about his name
is Peter Potnoodle AKA the Spider Ramen.
He comes from Earth 542O2 and what we know about this earth is
that everyone living on it is the sentient food dish.
And I'm going to be honest with all of you.
Not really much is known about his back story mostly because he
was a fan created character thatMarvel decided to put in the
book. But what we do know about this
spider being is after the loss of his uncle Bento, Peter
Potnoodle decided we found powers to good and just like his

(43:18):
back story. Honestly we don't know much
about his powers. I don't know if he's got a
spider sense, super strength or anything like that.
The only thing we do know is that instead of shooting webs he
can shoot out noodles that he uses to travel across the city
and defeat crime with. Spider Ramen also uses his
powers in a very unique way by taking his endless supply of
noodles and creating bowls of food to feed to the homeless and
making sure no one ever goes hungry at night.
Oh and also he can change the flavor of the noodles by just
thinking about it and because ofthat injured.

(43:38):
And also he was a spider being he was welcomed with open arms
to join the spider society. Now he serves the biggest and
most important role of all in the spider society and that's to
create food who defeat the hungry mouths of all of the
spider beings across the spider verse because all of them love
noodles. Just make sure not to let it be
known to spider Ramen that you ate before you came there
because he gets very jealous of different dishes.
And honestly that's all I can really share on this topic
because spider Ramen is a fairlynew character.

(44:00):
He is unique and very cool looking and honestly does serve
a pretty good purpose for his team.
I'm going to have to update my list on the top five weirdest
spider man out there, but hey Spider ramen y'all.
I guess you can take this information and share it with
your friends to let them know, hey, there's a living ramen
noodle bowl out there. And the spider verse.
And let that. Be a little known fact for all
of you because I've heard the rumblings out there.

(44:21):
I've heard the rumblings. How is it that this show is
called Black and Snerdy and we never talk about nerdy shit?
Well, guess what we just did? We just talked about a spider
man who is a Cup of noodles. OK, are you going to get this
from anywhere else? No, you're getting it live from
the Black and Snerdy podcast. I would love eat some fucking

(44:46):
ramen. Yes, that pure Pot Noodle gives
to me. It made me hungry and
unfortunately I am poor this week until I get paid again.
I this is going. To be a long week, we have to
make shit stretch. I really want some.
I want them to give me a short rib ramen because I think it's

(45:08):
going to be delicious. I want egg, I want bok choy, I
want Sriracha. I want Hot Chili oil.
I want all of it in there. I need that.
And honestly, you know how with a long walk, this the what's his
name? Not Steven Spielberg.
What's his name? Stephen King, The Stephen King
movie where they were talking about like doing these
promotional things where you go to the movie and you have to

(45:30):
walk for the whole entire. Oh, a long walk, I thought.
I thought W OK A. Long walk.
That's a walk to remember. Put that down.
Long walk. Very funny.
I want at the, like, movie premiere.

(45:52):
I want to do some sort of promotional across theaters
where when you come in, you get a bottle or a bowl of ramen with
your movie. Yeah, and I want it.
I want to be able to choose whattype of ramen I want.
I want to Add all my little additions and I want to get it
'cause that would be delicious. And I want them to put this in a

(46:13):
movie. Where is Pot Peter Pot Noodle in
Beyond the Spider verse? That is going to blow my mind
when he shows up in. That I want it.
I want it to happen. It's.
Gonna happen. It's gonna happen.
It needs. To have it in there it.
Needs to 1st off they they they have so many different spider
man. They have spider cat one who's a

(46:34):
dinosaur the. Lego.
One the Lego one like they they they have some punk rock.
Like you have Peter B Parker, you have Gwen Stacy who's a
fucking spider woman. You have so many different
spider man and spider women and spider people and spider bite.

(46:57):
You have so many spider individuals, you know.
And then of course, you have Madam Webb and Oh my God, did
you see that Madam Webb movie? I tried and it just I couldn't I
I think I got 30 minutes. Maybe it is.
I really feel like I told you, my friend Gina loved it 'cause

(47:17):
she loves all, she loves all things superhero and and she
refuses to see, she refuses to think that any superhero movie
is bad. I mean, you gotta.
She loves Thor, love and Thunder.
She loved Madam Webb, yes. That's the last one, right?

(47:40):
Yeah, yeah, No, I feel like now I don't.
I think they will need to do this in a animated version with
Miles Morales or whatever 'causeobviously like how are we gonna
get a fucking unless you do somesort of remember in the what was
the movie? What was the one with the Lego?
What was that one called? Was that Enter the Spider verse?

(48:02):
Where was. No, no, no.
That was sorry. There's OK, There's Into the
Spider verse. That's the first one.
There's Across the Spider verse.That's the second one.
The third one will be called Beyond the Spider.
Verse and all of those are live action ones, not like the ones
that. Are no, they're they're the Sony
animated ones, not live action. OK, this is going to be

(48:24):
animated. I didn't realize that beyond the
spider. Verse Yeah, it's a it's a part
of the trilogy. It's going to be animated.
OK, but because Tom Holland. Oh, you're thinking of the Tom
Holland move. No, no, those are like
homecoming far from home. And there's.
A1 that's. Coming.
Holland. Holland and you can't.
Go back home. Yeah, Tom Holland is gonna be in

(48:47):
the Spider Man 4. But there's also it's Tom
Holland and. What Tobey Maguire?
McGuire and. That is homecoming.
No, no, no. Homecoming was first, then far
from home was the second one, which I don't know if I.
Saw it's. Fine, what was the 3rd Spider

(49:12):
Man movie? Oh.
Andrew Garfield. Andrew Garfield Yeah.
What was the 3rd Spider Man movie?
I don't the home spider Man trilogy.
OK here we go. Spiderman homecoming far from
home, no way home. That's what it was.

(49:33):
No way home. No way home.
That's the Multiverse 1. They're going to be.
I feel like I literally. There is going to be a Spiderman
4. There's going to be a Spiderman
4. Miles Morales is going to be
because I had pictures. There was a picture.
I don't think that's Miles Morales character.
I don't think there's gonna be like Sony has Miles Morales and
all of those Spider Man. I don't think the and, and Sony

(49:57):
is allowing Tom Holland and Marvel to borrow Spider Man.
They're not going to have the Miles Morales in live action,
contractually speaking. I just I'm I I wish I could
find. I wish I had that one because I
literally was just reading aboutit.

(50:19):
But all right, so I guess they could definitely do this one
with the animated one because I was like, you can't, you can't
do it with. Yeah, you can do it with the
Sony. I don't want to see CGI ramen.
Yeah, like, I want it to be a real.
I want to see them slurping 2D. Hand drawn ramen.
That's what I want, so I'm looking forward to it.
Please give it to us. And I want us to have ramen

(50:40):
bowls at Alamo or Nighthawk or Regal AMC, whatever the case may
be. I want there to be delicious
packed up ramen. I want 2 noodles in my ramen
'cause I never feel like they give me enough noodles.
I feel for those Alamo Draft House employees who are

(51:04):
constantly bringing food out to us fucking slobbing assholes who
are pushing in the light button to get them to flag them down in
order to get in order to get ourfucking Bob's Burger Burger from

(51:24):
the Bob's Burger Movie Burger. You put it on the menu I want.
It it's on the menu and and our beer.
And our beer. I want my.
I want my my. That's fucking milkshake up
charged like a motherfucker. Honestly, next time we should,
we should start bringing those little nips cause how are they

bracelet with the, with the well, you could bring in your
flask. I'm going to bring my bracelet
fast and we're going to be pouring it in.

Do you remember Howard if you went on the Green Line to
Chinatown? Yes, the movie theater down
there. Yeah, the Regal.

(52:06):
Yes. Do you know that we would bring
Five Guys Burgers? Oh yeah, of course.
Into the movie. Theater, you would try to bring
anything and everything. Try.
We succeeded. I never brought five guys, but I
just bring other stuff in there because it was just like it
wasn't paying attention. They didn't care.
You think I'm going? To pay $15.00 for a big bucket
of. Popcorn.
And that was a decade plus ago. Now, if you don't bring $100 to

(52:31):
the movie theater, you're not going to the movies.
Yeah. And that's just for two people.
Yeah, not even alcohol for two people with two tickets and
popcorn, if you want to have a burger or something, you're
going to spend about $100. It's just.
Let's just but looking forward to this.
Spider Ramen. I love, I really do.
I feel like Peter Pot Noodle might be my new favorite spider

(52:55):
man. His uncle Bento.
That was. That made me smile.
I like that. All right, so more animated
movie news. Yes, we are getting a New Super
Mario. Now we knew that we were going

So Miyamoto and Chris Melandri Melandri, who's the founder and

(54:21):

But Illumination have announced its in development and they are

And it looks cute. I mean, come on, Mario's

(55:04):
The Super Mario Bro the Super Mario Movie did gangbusters.
It was great. So I am looking forward to this.
I think the first movie it made over 1.3 billion dollars in the
box office. Yes, one of the highest grossing
movies of 2023. Yeah.

(55:26):
So we knew there was getting a secret.
I am looking forward to the nextJack Black song.
Me too me. Too, because there was nothing
like Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches,
Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches.

(55:50):
And you look good for you, Jack Black.

So this is going to be fun. I'm Yeah.
We need to. Have more fun in the theaters.

(56:11):
Yes, agreed. It's so much darkness every day.
We need to be able to go to the theater, smile, laugh, enjoy
ourselves and know we're going to come out with a happy ending.
Yeah, well, but you're going to come out happy.
And I want that for us and. If you get a happy ending, more

(56:32):
power to you. Even better.
Now, Speaking of even better, there is something that I am
very excited about. All right, so do you read fan
fiction? You lost me at do you read?

(56:54):
And then I stopped paying attention.
No, I do not. No, no, no, no, I read I've, you
know, like I read manga and graphic novels.
That's kind of my, my go to thing.
I, I, I There are some fan fictions that I have read in the
past, some slash fiction that I've written.

(57:16):
I don't even know that. This was, this was back in the
day. This was back when my writing
muscles were a lot more attuned.Yeah, yeah.
I man, I haven't written anything in like a what feels
like a strong five. Gotta get back on it.

(57:38):
Anyhow. Why do you ask?
Well, one of the really popular fan fictions for Harry Potter,
Manacled, is gonna become a is becoming a novel called
Alchemized. So it's a dark fan fiction by

(57:58):
Sen Lin Yu. It's based on Harry Potter and
The Handmaid's Tale. Yes.
So this is honestly a fan fiction that has been popular
for years, right? And has notoriously made JK
Rowling's AKA Turfs R Us very angry.

(58:24):
But apparently the it's going tobe a novel and the novel's going
to become a movie. So she is report reportedly
secured A7 figure deal for theirfilm rights to the novel.
Nice. Awesome.
Yeah. So for you.
Sin Lin you. It's a dark romance between
Hermione Granger and Draco because everybody loves to ship

(58:48):
them that is this friends to lovers to the situation or sorry
enemies to. Lovers.
Enemies to lovers, is that? Yeah, they were not friends.
Yeah. From.
What I have gathered from the Harry Potter movies, Yes they
were. He hated mudbloods, right?
He hated a muggles. He hated Muggles.
Yeah. Very white supremacists.

(59:09):
Yeah. Very Charlie Kirk.
He hated anybody that was not a pure blood.
Yes. So in this in this manacled
universe, the story imagines an alternate alternate universe in
which Lord Voldemort has killed Harry Potter and the Death
Eaters defeated the Order of Phoenix in the Battle of

(59:29):
Hogwarts. So it obviously is completely
different from what the Canon isfor the movie.
You know what? I just thought of what what if
this because it's supposed to bea romance between Malfoy and
Hermione, right? Yes.

(59:50):
What if it is like 100 days? Maybe.
Isn't it? Is that what it's called 100
days? The one that the one that I'm
thinking about. The TV show.
The No the the no not the TV show 100 Days.
The movie 100 Days. We watched the first one, the

(01:00:13):
second one, and the third one. I the guy kidnaps the woman. 300
and 6300. 65 days? Sorry, I thought it was 100
days. I bet 365 days.
What if it's like that? It's probably going to be it.
So it says that after the war, witches who fought for the Order

(01:00:33):
of Phoenix are forced to become surrogates for dark Wizards to
repopulate the magical population.
The Death Eaters give Armani to Voldemort second command, known
as High Reeve as a surrogate in the hopes that he can also help
uncover the she has these lost. OK, sorry, I forgot that you
said that there's a Handmaid's Tale a part of this.

(01:00:54):
OK, Yeah. All right.
All right. Yeah.
So now. So it's not going to be 365
days. Well, who knows, maybe because
they still it's a friends enemies to lovers sort of
scenario. So this Manacled was published
in installments between 2018 and2019 on AO3, which is archive

(01:01:16):
archive of our own. It had a huge following.
It blew up on big Book Talk and all that stuff.
So you can no longer read it on AO3 because of the the release
of the book. But I'm looking forward to it.
Honestly, JK Rowling has completely just ruined

(01:01:38):
everything. Right?
So I would like more opportunities to read and
indulge Harry Potter. Sure, especially if it makes her
angry because she, she does not like, she's never liked
Manacled. She's hates it.
She just does not like it. She's she's always trying to
separate herself from the publication.

(01:02:00):
So the fact that she doesn't like it makes me want to read it
more because I would say like when I, I remember when Manacled
came out, I read some snippets here and there, but it was just
like, you know, I've always readlike I used to read Harry Potter
fanfic. Shout out to you, molnet.com.
But I just never really got intoit as much as everybody else.

(01:02:20):
But I'm going to be locked in, all right.
If it's going to piss JK Rowlingoff, I am all for it.
So shout out to you, Sen Lin, you OK?
We are looking forward to this novel and this movie and
hopefully it is really great. Yeah, more power to.

(01:02:41):
You, more power to you. In some more animated news, the
Demon Slayer Infinite Infinity Castle yes had its biggest
opening weekend for International Film in the US
with a box office of $70 millionand has the biggest opening for

(01:03:05):
an R rated animated film. Now did you see demon Slayer
mugen train? No.
Have you watched any of Demon Slayer?
Yes. OK, can you tell me the plot of
Demon Slayer? Damn, can I?

(01:03:30):
Is it OK, demon Slayer? It's the kids at the school.
Like high school, yes. No, no, no, they're not at high
school, no. Do they not have like magic
demons in them or something thatthey can pull out?
No. Never mind, what is it?
What's what's the fucking? Thing OK, there's an order of

(01:03:53):
swordsman called Demon Slayers. OK, they fight Demons Infinity
Infinity Castle. It's it's it's one of the last
arcs in the Demon Slayer franchise.
Got it. You know what?
It's been a while since I've watched Demon Slayer.

(01:04:17):
I myself might not remember the plot as well as I thought.
I so I have a question. Sure.
Is this kind of like One Piece where there's more arcs after?
No, no, no, no, no, no. This is this is First off, the
manga has ended. OK, because we went this is.
Because One Piece, the manga, isstill going.

(01:04:39):
But we went to that Demon Slayerart exhibit.
Yeah, no, that was bleach. That was bleach, Yes.
Gosh. OK.
There's so many Bleach has walked so the demon Slayer and
jiu jitsu Kaizen can run, yes. Well, are you interested in see?
Do you want to go see this movie?
No, because the the only reason.Here's the thing.

(01:05:00):
Here's the thing. I there is a big divide in the
anime community. Subs versus dubs.
Here's the thing, I appreciate Subs if the show has captured my

(01:05:26):
imagination like One Piece. Like every single week I watch
the sub. Sub meaning subtitle, Dub
meaning English dubbed. I watch the subtitled version of
One Piece every single Sunday. I do it on my break when I'm at

(01:05:52):
work I go to break. I watch it, it's fun, but I am
engrossed in a series when they have the dub, the English dub.
It's how I watch things. Yeah, it's just how I watch

(01:06:15):
things. I'm going through One Piece
right now starting from the verybeginning and gotten to Whole
Cake Island watching the Englishdub.
So much, so many episodes. Having said that, I am also all
the way caught up on One Piece Yes with the Subs.
Yeah, do you like the dubs better?

(01:06:35):
I like the dubs better. Are the dubs true to the Subs?
The dubs are true to the well I I mean.
Because I'm going to say as somebody who like I've always
known there's a dub versus sub debate.
Yeah, I personally I don't, I like the subtitles when the dub
is not in English. Sure, if it's a, if it's in the

(01:06:58):
original language and then I have there.
Is there's some there's localization?
I don't like the the English dubs.
Because even when it's in the English dub and you put the
subtitles on, which I like watching things.
Sometimes the subtitles, some the the subtitles are
translating exactly what the Japanese is actually saying I

(01:07:18):
want. To know.
Whereas the English localizationof the dub is just translating
basically the feel and vibe of what is being said and getting
across that information. I would prefer to watch Japanese
dub with English subtitles. You mean Japanese?

(01:07:42):
Yeah. Japanese sub Japanese.
No Japanese dubbed English subbed.
OK. Because I well.
Then you go see Infinity Infinity train.
No, I don't. Want to see by myself?
You didn't even go see Moogan Moogan train.
I didn't, so I wouldn't know what was going on.
You need to be there with me to be like this.
Who so and so is. Yeah, this is all that reading.

(01:08:04):
That's fine. We have eyes for a reason.
Yeah, but here's the thing, likewith a show like Demon Slayer,
the animation is going to be topnotch.
Like the choreography of the fight scenes are going to be so
amazing. I don't want to take my eyes
off. That's why I appreciate the dub
more than I appreciate the sub because I don't want to take my

(01:08:25):
eyes off the animation to read the letters that are at the.
Bottom No, I mean that makes sense.
I mean, I think that like the one thing about Americans is
that I feel like we have sometimes a lot of intellectual
laziness that'll keep us from enjoying things the way they're

(01:08:46):
meant to be. Right?
I forget who the creator, the the director and producer I
believe of of parasite is, but Iremember him saying like, thanks
for he won. He won like an Oscar for
parasite. He was like, well, 'cause y'all
don't want to read a little two thing screen on the on the
bottom. You're missing out on these
great films. And it's so true.

(01:09:07):
Like there are so many movies that I love that are in
different languages and I list Iwatch them in their language.
I read the subtitles. I want to watch.
Oh boy. Yeah, great.
And I and The thing is, I preferto watch it in the original
language. Yeah.
Because when you watch it even like Squid Games, right, when

(01:09:27):
you watch it in the English dub,the accents never match the tone
of actual people. And I feel like there's
something about listening to it in the real, like the original
language that just adds so much more because of the fact that

(01:09:48):
like when they're we're getting it in English, it's watered
down. So it's like I even though yes,
it might take me, I might have to watch it over again in case I
missed something because I was reading whatever.
But I just think that it adds more to it and I can appreciate
it more. However, I don't think there's
anything wrong with watching an English dubbed anything.

(01:10:10):
But I would I would love if people could be more
appreciative of just reading thesubtitles.
Like we know how to read. So use those skills.
Because how many people in othercountries don't get the chance
of having anything dubbed into their own personal language,

(01:10:31):
right? There's so many.
Most of the time you're going tohave a movie in like certain few
main languages, English, French,Spanish, German or something
like that to. This day I have not watched RR.
I haven't watched R. Well who?
Where is that from? Was that Korea?
No, I thought that was a Bollywood.

(01:10:51):
It might be a Bollywood, yeah, but I know RRR is supposed to be
a great film and the only reasonI haven't watched it really was
because I remember when it came out, I just didn't have the time
to see it. And then like it came out on it
was like 1 and. If it's still on Netflix.
On on these streaming platforms and there's always so much much
to watch that I kept missing it yes, but I would I would like to

(01:11:12):
watch it even though it's a longmovie, but whatever like it's
worth it, you know? It's still on Netflix.
It is. I mean, I, I love, I mean I love
Bollywood movies. RRR.
Bollywood, Nollywood, all of it.I want to watch it regardless of
whether I know what they're saying.
Yes. All right, that was our Demon
Slayer talk, Subs versus dubs. All right, into music news.

(01:11:37):
So it looks like. Or oh, Gorillas.
Gorillas is coming out with a new album.
Yes. Gorillas.
So. Now, how big of a fan of
gorillas are you? I would say I really like them.

(01:11:57):
I can't name the different albums I was.
Just about to say name 3 songs Ican't.
Well, obviously, like, I'm happy.
Feeling glad I got sunshine in abag.
I'm useless when that belong. Our future is coming on.
That's Clint Eastwood. And the other I I like their

(01:12:18):
songs I couldn't name. OK, the songs.
I'll name three. OK, kids with guns broken and
demon days. Now, do you generally like get
their albums and listen to them or you just?
Here's the thing, I love I I, I stopped on the Gorillaz train.

(01:12:41):
Let me pull it up. I stopped on the Gorillaz train
like 4 albums and they have morethan four albums.
It's just like with Coldplay. Like I was a big Coldplay fan,
but I stopped at like album 3 or4 and they have 10 albums.
Yeah. Gorillas has how many albums?

(01:13:04):
How many? If if you were to guess, how
many albums does Gorillas. Have 15. 15.
Yeah. 15 Is that your your guess?
Yeah, it's my guess. OK.
And we're not counting The Mountain, which is the new album
that's gonna be coming out soon,that it's called The Mountain.
OK you ready? Yeah, albums.

(01:13:25):
Why isn't this loading? Here we go, Albums.
Cracker Island. That's the most recent one.
Yes, that is the most recent one, the now.
Now humans, Plastic beach. That's where I left off.

(01:13:45):
Well you're missing a few so I just looked it up.
So the first one was gorillas. Gorillas title album?
Yeah, yes, I love that album. The Demon Days in 2005.
Plastic Beach in 2010, The Fall in in 2010 as well.
Humans 2017, The Now Now 2017 Song Machine Season 1, Strange
Times in 2020, Cracker Island 2023.

(01:14:08):
Yes. So they have 8 studio albums,
three compilation albums, 11 extended plays and 1 remix album
and 46 singles. So I think plastic beach is
where I dropped off. I mean, I think that like, I
think that's fine, honestly. You could really like an artist
and not necessarily listen to every single album they do.

(01:14:29):
Like, I mean, there's few artists that I'm like, I need to
be tuned in like Beyoncé. Like, of course I'm going to
listen to everything that comes out with and play it, play it
over beat. Ad nauseam.
But I feel like whenever the Gorillas comes out with like, a
new album or a song, like, I always appreciate it.
Yeah. So this new one, which is called
The Mountain, is gonna come out in March 20, 2615.

(01:14:52):
Track album. It's including the Idols, former
Smith's guitarist, Smith's guitarist Johnny Maher, the
Roots, Black thought, super furry animals, graph rise, Omar
Suleiman, the clashes, Paul Simonon.
How do you I don't know how Simonon Simonin and Yasin Bay

(01:15:16):
AKA most def yes. They will also have artists
voices such as Bobby Womack, theElastos, Dave Jordaku, The
Falls, Marquee Smith and Fila Kuti's drummer Tommy Allen and
the rapper Proof and also DoctorDennis Hopper.
The actor will be on the projectas well.

(01:15:36):
So I feel like this, it has a star-studded group of people who
are going to be on the album. We know it's going to be good,
so I'm looking forward to it. And they always have, like they
have great animation. I mean for the longest time.
I have been wanting to see them live.
I would love to see them. I think they would do a great

(01:15:59):
live show at any time. I've seen their concerts and
things like that. People are like just going
crazy. It's really cool and I didn't
know, I didn't realize that the band started from the IT was

(01:16:20):
another band. Blur.
From Blur that the one of the lead singers from Blur, Damon
Alban, did gorillas. I don't know, I just never knew
that. I thought I just only recently
found that out when I was looking up information for this
most recent album. I just thought they were a cool
group of people who came out with, like, a different concept

(01:16:40):
of music when we were in middle school and then, like, went from
there. But that's cool that you could
have, like, another have one band you do all this work with
with that one and then, you know, go on to do something
else. Blur, obviously a very popular
woo Hoo. Yeah, very popular band.

(01:17:02):
So, you know, looking forward toseeing what they come up with,
seeing what the visuals are, youknow, and they'll probably have
a concert or something, you know, maybe we can go or
whatever like that. Yeah, maybe.
But I'm looking forward to it. I like, I love having these
bands who have been around for along time are really dedicated
to like musicality and, and and showmanship, being able to show

(01:17:26):
kind of these younger groups howit's done.
Because I think it's, we are getting a resurgence of like
kids in garages making music. I've been seeing like I've been
inundated on my timeline becauseof like the things I like.
To be fair, everything is inundating you on your timeline
because you have your phone up to your face.

(01:17:48):
I AM 20. 4 hours a day. Literally 24 hours a day.
Chronically online, but I've been seeing there's a lot of
like black e-mail bands coming out, people doing like black
people doing like emo covers. I love that.
I want to ski black punk rock, Iwant to see black heavy metal.
I want to see black emo blend, black new age, all of that.

(01:18:10):
I want to see it and I. Want to see black ska?
Well, that's just reggae. I guess it.
I guess reggae is just black ska.
That's it, That's it. But there's not as much
trumpets. No, there's not as much.

(01:18:30):
There's not as much trumpets. But you know.
There should be more trouble. It really had its moment in the
late 90s early 2000s. You couldn't find a ROM com,
coming of age movie or whatever without having some ska on the
soundtrack. Sure, real big fish.
Yes, real big fish who I think they were in 10 days, they hate

(01:18:52):
about you. They were also in basketball.
Yes, they were also in basketball, so you know shout
out to gorillas. We're looking forward to this
new project. Thank you for keep making music
because you don't have to, but you're choosing to and it's
going to be good. We, we, you know, I can only
imagine all the time and effort you guys y'all put into this.

(01:19:13):
And so, Speaking of musicians, Young Thug has put out some
apology letters for some of the things that came out during his

(01:19:34):
leaked calls from prison. Now it should be noted that
these letters that have been written are in old timey font.
Why why why why is this happening?
Also, I just believe if you are going to talk shit, stand on

(01:19:55):
fucking business. OK, yes.
I have to stand on business. And I meant every word that I
said, OK. It's ridiculous to me.
So he wrote these out in his Word doc, put them on some
parchment paper, uploaded them. There's one from Mariah the
scientist. Yes.

(01:20:16):
I can't. Oh, he didn't tag the person in
this one. There's one for Glorilla.
There's one for Drake. There's just, you know, they're
all over the place. I think this is supposed to be
21 Savage because it's savage. You are a real advert.
Don't let them tell you different.
Been calling my phone ever since*** went missing.

(01:20:37):
I wish the Internet could hear the calls.
I'm so serious. Like how I got you and Wham on
the phone to settle differences.I just feel like if you are
going to talk about people, justtalk about them.
And The thing is, we talked about this last time.
You can't tell me what you. Didn't know to me is that you

(01:21:00):
did all of this talking on a prison phone which is recorded,
which says. It is.
Recorded. It is being recorded.
They you literally hear them sayonce the other person on the
other end of your call answers the phone.

(01:21:22):
This call is being recorded. You don't need Olivia, Olivia
Benson to come into your home tolet you know that these calls
are being recorded because we know you're in prison.
They tell you it in prison. They tell the other person that
calls you. So you have to assume, and there
are so many times we have had prison calls leaked AKA Hulk

(01:21:45):
Hogan and talking about he wantshis daughter to be with a 8 foot
*** Like this is just, we know this happens.
We know that people are going todo whatever they can to make
money. They're going to sell your calls
to TMZ or the Shade Room or whatever.
And then now here you are looking dumb like an idiot, and

(01:22:06):
now you're putting out these damn fucking Old English.
You couldn't use Times New Roman, Georgia, Helvetica,
something. You had to do it on papyrus.
Ridiculous. Like it's just ridiculous.
And so glorilla rather. This guy stinks.

(01:22:31):
Glorilla, in response to some ofthe things he said to her about
her in this call about her beingugly and all this stuff, she put
out a diss track. It's over it's kind.
Well, it's not completely over one of the the beats of one of
her other songs, but this is some of the things that she said

(01:22:56):
and this, this this track was targeted towards Young Thug and
Mariah the scientist may still be his girlfriend.
It's completely. Reports that they broke up it's
completely. Reports I've seen.
I've seen that Mariah the scientist broke up with him
after he apparently said some unkind things to her in a leaked

(01:23:18):
phone call too. Because that's why he put the
the thing out. And he also was like cheating on
her and telling another woman hewanted her to have his babies or
something like that. So she she calls him Gloria,
calls him Young Bug, says he looks like a black and mild a
Jamaican Vegeta. I appreciate.

(01:23:41):
That that he's a skirt wearing ass to you about to chirp
looking ass *** a pain in the ass trying to hump looking ass
*** a hole in the mirror about to twerk looking ass *** as well
as several other things. Just a bunch of looking ass.
Yes, a lot of looking ass, looking ass.
And so I liked it, right. I didn't like the colorism in

(01:24:07):
it. She mentioned several times
about how dark he is. I mean the black and mild
obviously she mentions how dark he is.
She has some kind of some some you know quasi homophobic things
in Mariners skirt and all that. Didn't like that.
I feel like just based on his looks alone you could have

(01:24:30):
flamed him off. You don't need to add colorism
and homophobia to your diss tracks for them to still hit the
song. Still good?
It's it's a fun song. It's.
A fun song, but I feel but thoseparts really took me out of it
where I'm like, I don't really feel like I want to listen to
this, you know, multiple times. OK, sorry, don't come for us.

(01:24:54):
Sirens and we can't play that. Yeah, I was going to just play a
little tiny, tiny bit. Yeah, Can't play.
I can't even play the look look all.
Right. It's Disney.
They will come for us. They will.
Yeah. Well, Glorilla, I keeping you.
I just want to see I I see it says where's the I'm trying to

(01:25:16):
figure out what this drop is, folks.
Oh, where's the lie? That's that's the where.
We don't need colorism to be a part of our songs to still make
them effective. Sure.
Now some people who have not been using colorism in their
music, The Clips. The clips was at the Vatican

(01:25:39):
this past weekend. Yesterday, on September 13th,
they did a huge concert at the Vatican on the same day that
boxer Terence Crawford was fighting Canelo, Canelo Alvarez

(01:26:01):
and I what is what is what song is it on Kendrick Lamar's GNX?
No it's not even GNX, it's it's euphoria.
Oh, euphoria. Yeah, Terence Crawford.
Yeah, I'm whooping feet. And so this is pusher T.
He's Terence Thornton. I'm Terence Crawford.
Yeah. I'm whooping feet.
The they let me. Let me find it in you for you.

(01:26:23):
So the clips show, you know, amazing they were.
They came out singing the song that they wrote about their
parents passing and how that impacted them and all that.
Great show. They looked great performing in
the Vatican. I like, it's crazy.

(01:26:44):
And I think that the Pope's birthday is actually today.
I believe it was today or yesterday.
So I don't know if this was for his birthday explicitly.
I don't like you popping shit atPharrell for him.
I'll inherit the beef. Yeah.
Fuck all that push and P. Let me see you push your T.
You better off spinning again onhim.
You think about pushing me. He's tennis Thor, and I'm

(01:27:05):
Terence Crawford. Yeah, I'm whooping feet.
So Kendrick again has given us the song captions to associate
with all of our various pop. Culture.
Terence Crawford is whooping feet, he is.
Oh my goodness. Let's just show a a quick clip.

(01:27:28):
We were busy with family game night.
Yes. So we couldn't.
We couldn't. We could not watch it.
It's OK though. Like I'm, I'm, I will always say
I appreciate family game night. Yeah, it's great.
I'm never going to throw it under the bus just because I
miss the live action thing. And we can watch.
We can watch it again. It's still on Netflix.
Yeah, yeah. So this is this is a clip of the

(01:27:53):
fight and the the back of the person Damon Williams, who is
doing the little voice over hilarious.
And rocked him in the face. Just look at that again.
Look at, look at that. Look.

(01:28:15):
At that. Have you ever been punched in
the face? No.
You've never been punched in theface.
I have never been punched in theface.
Really. Yeah.
You got to get punched. In the face I will do not.
Yeah, you got to, at least once in your life, get punched in the
face. I haven't.
I've punched people, but I've not personally been punched in
the. Face.
You haven't lived until you've been.
I've been punched in the face. During boxing or fighting.

(01:28:37):
Well I because I was a part of boxing club so I was punched in
the face. You need to know how to take a
punch. Yeah.
Now, can I take a punch to the face?
I don't know. Somewhere else in my body, A
body shot. Fine.
Punched in the face? I don't know.
And also, I think if someone punched me in the face, I would
go completely feral. I think I've been slapped in the

(01:28:59):
face. Nah, a punch in the face is
different than a slap. In the face.
A punch in the face would literally cause me to lose the
sense that God gave me and I might get arrested.
No, you, you, you have to have your wits about you to get
punched in the face. Because here's what happens.

(01:29:21):
You get punched in the face. There's a split nanosecond of
this is painful. Then it's I've just been punched
in the face. Then it's I have to shake this
off or else I'm going to go down.
Yeah, a lot of people don't do the second part.

(01:29:49):
Yeah, they go straight from the first part to the third part.
Which is punching. No, which is I've just been
punched in the face. I'm going to go down.
Oh well, OK, yeah. So I was thinking to myself when
I was watching this little clips, like if I have children
I'm putting them in boxing. Yeah, put them in boxing.
Immediately, the moment they canwalk, yeah, you're gonna get the

(01:30:13):
gloves. On pop pop pop pop pop pop you.
Need to, you need to have your form because like one thing when
I was little, obviously being a girl, my mother was so like
trying to be vigilant about like, you know, screaming fire
instead of help and stuff like that.
And she used to always tell us if somebody ever tries to grab
you, you stamp on the soft partson their in their of their heel,

(01:30:37):
you elbow them in the stomach, you try to get them in the
throat, you kick them in betweenthe legs.
That's my purse. I don't know you exactly.
So those are the type of things she taught us.
But I definitely like regardless, male, female, non
binary, trans, whatever. My child needs to know how to

(01:30:59):
fucking right hook you to stop your jaws from flapping.
Yeah, because you obviously you don't know how to back it.
Up my children will learn how totake a punch and how to give a.
Punch, yeah, because you got to do because The thing is getting
hit. Like because I, I personally
don't believe in corporate punishment, right?

(01:31:19):
So I wouldn't want to hit them, but they need to know how to get
hit. Yeah, get back up and start
fucking swinging. And also, a lot of fighting in
the real world does not happen the way that it shows on movies.
Yeah, of course it's not straight.

(01:31:39):
It's not boxing. Like you should learn how to
box, But a lot of it is just swinging wildly at people.
Arms. Wild arms.
It's a lot of wild arms, couldn't drag me away.
You have to know how to be able to hit, how to like.

(01:32:01):
The boxing helps in the sense ofknowing how to like form.
Structure and form. Form the punch also Bob and
weave have some fucking footwork.
OK steady yourself and if you get hit Cassius Clay how to take
it right. But then you also need to know
something else. You need to know some Taekwondo,
some jiu jitsu, some judo, whatever the case may be, you

(01:32:24):
got to know how to, like, take amotherfucker down.
Especially if you're not big, right?
Because at Howard I took judo. I took judo as well.
And I fucking love judo because the main thing about judo is the
shorter you are actually the better you are at it because
it's all in the hips. It's all in the hips.

(01:32:44):
So you are like being able to like lift someone up over my
body and slammed them onto the ground.
Love that. I fucking love it because I
already know if I try to kick you, it's probably not going to
go the way that I think it's going to go, right?
But if you grab me and I know how to literally fling you over

(01:33:05):
regardless of whether you're 55 using your.
Momentum against you. Like you got to know how to do
that because a lot of The thing is most times if you are
fighting someone, and I've had this happen to me because I have
fought many people who are bigger than me, I'm not that
sure at all, right? They do not expect you to like
come at them, right? And it's like, come at me, bro,

(01:33:28):
I'm ready to go, right? And even my like my youngest
sister, my baby sister who's in college, I'm calm telling her
these are the things you need toknow because you're walking
around New York City all times anight, you're enjoying yourself,
all that you need to know how tofuck somebody up, especially
when you're like 120 lbs soakingwet, right?
Because no one's going to think that you.

(01:33:49):
Are and that's not a slam at your sister.
I'm just saying. She's small.
She's a tiny little. She's she's very tiny.
She's a petite. Yeah.
So it's like you got to know howto use your strengths, which are
looking at assuming, and you need to know how to use that for
your benefit because the people who are coming at you are going

(01:34:12):
to see that as a weakness and you got to be able to, you know,
to navigate that. But you know, congratulations to
you, Turns Crawford. You did a great fight.
You won your belt and all that. You did a great fight.
You did you did some good boxingyes, you know, and I think that
more people should learn fight with your fists, not a weapon,

(01:34:35):
because if you cannot all these people who like are all the the
the white folks were some gung ho about like a civil war.
We're going to kill all the people, right?
They think it's going to be likeGrand Theft Auto, fucking Call
of Duty. What is that other one?
That's that other Sniper 1 whatever like they think.
It's Fortnite. No, not Call of Duty, but

(01:34:58):
whatever that little Sniper 1 is.
Whatever. Splinter Cell.
Splinter Cell, right? They always think it's going to
be like that. What In reality, when you are
fighting, if you were at war or whatever the case may be, it is
not going to be nearly as structured, nearly as cool.
You're going to be basically shitting yourself.
Yes. And I've never been to war, but
I know that the people that I'vetalked to who have been like,

(01:35:19):
it's not fucking rainbows and candy canes.
No, it is not. It is, and it's not structured.
It's not structured fucking guerrilla warfare everywhere you
look. You got to be prepared.
You got to know how to take a hit.
And honestly, I feel like it is more honorable and more brave

(01:35:40):
and courageous of you to be ableto fight with your hands versus
having a knife, a gun, a bomb orwhatever.
Because that is when you're showing how strong you actually
are. Because everything else, it
takes you away from the person, your fisticuffs, you're right
here. It's.
Just like John Witherspoon famously said on Friday, yes,

(01:36:03):
you win some, you live you win some, you lose some, but you
live to fight another day. Exactly.
So yeah, I think that that is was our pop culture segment.
Yes, that's. Everything for pop culture
folks. Sorry.

(01:36:23):
When you want. A hot meal, We've got a big
deal. What are you going to pick?
Pop Topics. Are we going to go into things
that made us angry because you did pop topics right there?
Yes. That's not what you meant to do,
is it? No, I didn't.
Mean to do we on topics? Again, I didn't mean to go to

(01:36:45):
say pop to to end the. You wanted to end it and go into
the things. And then go into the things that
made us angry. So what's making you angry?

(01:37:20):
I won't elaborate because I can't but pips.
If you know, you know. If you know, you know.
Pips suck. They suck ass.
They do. They're terrible.
From beginning to end, from top to bottom, the rigmarole, the
micromanagement, the all of it. It sucks.

(01:37:46):
Yeah, it does. And then, sorry, there's,
there's one other thing, there'sone other thing that sucks.
And I'll be quick about this depression.
Yeah, that is the major sucker. I have been doing a relatively
good job at being well managed. Yeah, I take my medication, I go

(01:38:14):
to psychiatry, and I use the tools that I've learned in
therapy to manage my bipolar. I'm bipolar.
Yeah, you are. But every now and then the mania

(01:38:37):
hits you and I didn't want to get too concerning.
Yeah. But it hit me the other day, I
did not manage that well and because I did not manage that
well, the blue period. Is coming on, yeah.

(01:38:58):
Yes, because when you have your highs, all that's left is the
fucking lows. Yeah, and I mean honestly.
Blue periods suck. That is the like with mental
health. That is one of the things that
is the most frustrating, yes, isthat you can feel something
coming on. You know what it looks like, you

(01:39:20):
know what it feels like, you know what's going to happen, but
and also there's nothing you cando to stop it, regardless of how
much medication you're taking, regardless how much you're
talking about it and all those type of things.
And just kind of it's just like it is what it is.
Sometimes it's just the force, the force of nature that happens
and you just have to allow it tohappen.

(01:39:40):
The force is with you. You have to, yes, you have to
live with it and you have to go through.
It. Yeah, And you have to get
through it. I mean, The thing is your mental
health, like our brains, don't we?
We can reprogram our brains and all that like neuroplasticity

(01:40:01):
and learning new things and all that sure, but there are some
things like the chemical imbalances of your brain like
it's just is kind of fucking there yes and it sucks cuz it
impacts everything you're doing.Yes it does and that's why it's
considered like a disability. But.
You're most places, whether it'sa job, it's a school, it's the
relationships you have, they do not understand them.

(01:40:24):
They do not. And then you end up getting
penalized and all these other things.
And so, like, my wish and hope is that one day we would come to
a point in society where disability would not be
something that is seen as such anegative and mental health would

(01:40:44):
not be seen as such a negative. But that kind of brings me into
what my thing that I'm upset with, what's making me mad this
week. So I don't know if you heard
about the young Ukrainian woman who was stabbed in North

(01:41:09):
Carolina on the train. Oh yes, her name.
Yes, I saw this happened a monthago ago.
This happened in August. Yeah, it was a few.
It happened like about a few weeks ago.
Her name was Irna Zarutska. She was a Ukrainian refugee.
She was on the train. Irena.
Irena, thank you. She was on the train and

(01:41:33):
unfortunately had a she was minding her business and this
man on the train apparently stabbed her.
He has allegedly he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and
all these things, right? So on Fox and Friends, one of

(01:41:56):
the Co hosts of Fox and Friends and Brian Kilmeade made this
suggestion about how we should be dealing with people who have
mental health issues and homelessness moving forward.

(01:42:17):
This is 1 case, but this is happening all across the country
and it's not a money issue. They have given billions of
dollars to mental health and thehomeless population.
A lot of them don't want to takethe programs.
A lot of them don't want to get the help that is necessary.
You can't give them a choice. Either you take the resources
that we're going to give you andor you decide that you got to be

(01:42:39):
locked up in jail. That's the way it has to be now.
Or involuntary lethal injection or something.
I just kill them. Brian, why did it have to get to
this point? I would say this, we're not
voting for the right people and.So just kill them.
Yeah, This is something that like we have, we were literally
just talking about how people, their people are losing their

(01:43:00):
jobs for not mourning the death of Charlie Kirk.
People are vilifying them, telling them they're horrible
people. But these are the type of
negative comments that we're getting from places that are
super conservative, super far right, you know, and we already
know. I don't.

(01:43:21):
It hasn't been thankfully A trend more recently.
But I remember in recent history, there was a time when
beating up and burning homeless people alive was a thing that
was running rampant. At least in New York City, we

(01:43:42):
know that well, the and also bumfights.
We know that generally when there's like a serial killer out
there, they're targeting sex workers, they target homeless
people because they know that people do not care whether they
live or die. The bottom rung of society.
And the problem is that at leastin New York, a lot of people who

(01:44:08):
are homeless, they are dealing with mental health issues.
They might be veterans. They might have a mental health
issue that caused them to lose ajob, lose their family or
whatever. And now they are on the streets.
And like, my mother is a social worker, right?
She's worked in social work for a majority of my life in

(01:44:32):
different capacities. And I will tell you that the
services that are there are not enough.
And even when you do say, OK, there's services, a lot of times
there's so many rules around those services that the people
may not want to take them because it feels as if they are

(01:44:54):
are being like infantilized in some ways and or doesn't really
matter. So this was after the backlash
of what he said, this is what his response was after this came
out and. It actually happened when we

(01:45:15):
were together on Wednesday, Lawrence in the morning, we were
discussing the murder of Arena Zaruska and Charlotte, NC.
How to stop these kinds of attacks by homeless, mentally
ill assailants, including institutionalizing or jailing
such people so they cannot attack again?
Now, during that discussion, I wrongly said they should get
lethal injections. I apologize for that extremely

(01:45:37):
callous remark. I'm obviously aware that not all
mentally ill homeless people actas the perpetrator did in North
Carolina, and that so many homeless people deserve our
empathy and compassion. It's it's mindlessness.
It's it's. It's speaking without
consideration. And also the fact that

(01:45:59):
disability advocates have been talking about for so long how we
do not care about people with disabilities, whether it's a
physical disability or a mental disability, and we would do
whatever it took to kind of eradicate them, right?
Like people literally jump for joy when a country has figured

(01:46:23):
out a way to like eradicate Downsyndrome.
That is something that happens if you go you when you because
when you are pregnant, they do all these genetic testings.
They'll tell you like whether your child may have something,
whatever. And they know like that is a we
talk about like femicide with babies because there are certain

(01:46:44):
places where having a daughter isn't isn't designer.
Babies. Better babies or it's not what
you would want. And then they'll, you know, have
an abortion or give them away, etcetera.
But nobody is talking about how disabled people, disabled
children, disabled babies are usually the most likely to be
harmed, aborted, killed after, after the fact.

(01:47:08):
And this is what that narrative perpetrates.
And even if he says apologies, like fuck you, like you, we
already know who you are and what you are and what you
believe in. Yeah.
All right. I re.
Is that all? That's all you had?
That was. Making.
That's everything that is makingme upset.
All right, let's go into the things that are making us happy

(01:47:28):
this week. We don't have that much time.
I started. What is making you happy?
All right, so have you. Do you know this picture?

(01:47:48):
Do you know who this person is? No, I don't, despite the fact
that I pulled up the banner. No, I do not know.
So this is Cecil Williams, this is him now.
This is him when he was a younger man taking this picture,
a picture of defiance and that is drinking from this white

(01:48:09):
water fountain, right. So he was it's New York Fashion
week's coming is up now. He was at actively black and
spells reclamation New York Fashion week event and he walked
down to I never scared. So you know, you see how he's

(01:48:33):
coming down, you know, like looking cool.
You know, this very lovely oldergentleman.
And this just made me happy because the fact that he's still
around, he's still here. And I think this is important
for people to look at and recognize because at the end of

(01:48:53):
the day, like this history is not so far removed from where we
are now. Sure, like my mother, like her
family on my grandfather's side,the pop up's side from South
Carolina. And my mother has talked about
them going down South. And you know, they had this baby

(01:49:16):
blue Cadillac and my grandfather, my pop up being
repeatedly stopped and, you know, the police officers
calling him boy and all this stuff and that.
Happened with my dad in South Carolina.
We know that even though when wetalk about the civil rights
movement, like Ruby Bridges justhad a birthday this past week,
right? Like this is not far away.

(01:49:38):
And the fact that he is still here, he is still able to like
be active and walk and all thesethings, I am so glad that we get
to see him. He's getting his flowers because
he deserves. There's them, that generation,
of course, they all deserve him,deserve them.
Some of the other people that were involved in this this spill

(01:50:05):
event were Ruby Bridges, Ben Haith, the designer of the
Juneteenth flag, Bernie's King, daughter of Martin Luther King
junior Alicia, Aisha Shabash who's daughter of Malcolm X,
marketing executive Bozoma St. John and Olympians John Carlos

(01:50:25):
and Tommy Smith. Who you if you do not know,
they're the ones who raised the 1st at the I believe it was
19681970, maybe Olympics that ended them getting their gold
medals. Revolt, but I think it is so
important for us to be giving the people who are still around
from that time their flowers andto recognize that it was not

(01:50:48):
that far away. Some of these people are our
parents or grandparents were experiencing this history.
So shout out to you, Mr. Williams, thank you so much.
You did all of that so that we could be here living our lives
and, and being able and living our lives in a way where most
people, especially young, younger folks, Gen.

(01:51:11):
Z and below, haven't have no real understanding of what it
meant to grow up in a space where things really were
segregated and as dire as they were.
And secondly, I got all these pictures from my, in my family

(01:51:31):
group chat of my grandparents, my Venturian grandparents.
And they're so beautiful. I only got to see my
grandparents like from my recollection once in my life.
I think they came one time when I was a baby, but I love getting
a chance to see them, you know, living their life happy, excited
and all that. Seeing my aunts and uncles and

(01:51:52):
my dad, you know, as younger people just like celebrating
with their family and their their parents.
So that also made me really happy this week.
That's good. And shout out to you, Celeste.
