• 0:39
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm sorry I'm struggling with my mic because I'm having a day, I'm having having a week.
• 0:44
  Carmen Lezeth: It is what it is.
• 0:45
  Carmen Lezeth: My mic is falling, my lighting is off.
• 0:49
  Cynthia Ruiz: It's just wild.
• 0:55
  Carmen Lezeth: I just wanted to just have an honest conversation about how you're feeling.
• 1:03
  Carmen Lezeth: I know you're both not big political people and I think that's fine, but in some way, shape or form, we're all political people because it affects us all.
• 1:12
  Carmen Lezeth: So I just want to see how you guys are feeling and if you wanted to just chime in kindly or however you feel, and then I'll yell at you if you're not kind about it, go ahead, cynthia, let's let you go first.
• 1:25
  Cynthia Ruiz: Oh, definitely disappointed.
• 1:26
  Cynthia Ruiz: It was a close race.
• 1:29
  Cynthia Ruiz: At this point, it is what it is, and now we just have to deal with it and see where we can go from here.
• 1:37
  Cynthia Ruiz: That's all what's done is done honestly, and we just have to try to make the best of it.
• 1:45
  Rick Costa: Yeah, agreed, rick I think we're gonna be okay.
• 1:50
  Rick Costa: I think there's a lot of fear going on.
• 1:53
  Rick Costa: Um, I think we need to just take a breath, calm down.
• 1:58
  Rick Costa: A lot of things people are saying right now is like okay, come on, we're not trying to make people slaves again.
• 2:05
  Rick Costa: What are you talking about?
• 2:06
  Rick Costa: Okay, I understand you're upset, but we already been through him once and that didn't happen then.
• 2:11
  Rick Costa: I don't think it's gonna happen again now.
• 2:12
  Rick Costa: If I'm wrong, correct me, but I'm just saying calm down, we're gonna get through this, it's gonna be okay I can tell me and Cynthia are both like we just hold them back.
• 2:24
  Carmen Lezeth: We're going to let Rick share.
• 2:26
  Carmen Lezeth: So the first thing I'm going to say Rick, just to push back a little bit.
• 2:31
  Carmen Lezeth: You never want to tell a woman to calm down, right?
• 2:37
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm just going to throw that out there as an idea.
• 2:41
  Carmen Lezeth: I think it's been a day.
• 2:42
  Carmen Lezeth: This is the one thing I'm going to say.
• 2:44
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm going to say this it's been a day, is like.
• 2:45
  Carmen Lezeth: This is the one thing I'm gonna say.
• 2:45
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm gonna say this it's been one day or two days.
• 2:48
  Carmen Lezeth: Let people grieve, let people shout and scream or cry or be upset, like if the roles were reversed, the last thing I would be doing is being even more cruel to the other side.
• 3:02
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what, what I mean To to Trump supporters who won.
• 3:05
  Carmen Lezeth: So I feel like, again, it goes back to all about the joy, about being good and decent people.
• 3:13
  Carmen Lezeth: And, Rick, I called you out yesterday on your Facebook posts that you wrote in such a way that made it sound like you were being cruel to people who were grieving or whatever.
• 3:27
  Carmen Lezeth: I guess there's something and I'm not even going to.
• 3:29
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't even want to mention what it is, because I know you said that on your show, but you actually mentioned it.
• 3:34
  Carmen Lezeth: There are people making fun of other people, grieving, which is just the cruelty in who we have become.
• 3:42
  Carmen Lezeth: And please don't do the whataboutisms.
• 3:45
  Carmen Lezeth: Well, you guys do.
• 3:47
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I don't?
• 3:48
  Carmen Lezeth: I have not said a cruel, motherfucking thing to one goddamn motherfucking person.
• 3:52
  Carmen Lezeth: I have not About who you vote for, about what you believe in.
• 3:57
  Carmen Lezeth: I ask you to be respectful.
• 3:59
  Carmen Lezeth: You can swear as much as I just did in that last seconds, but the cruelty is where I'm just I'm cutting people out, I'm cutting you out.
• 4:10
  Carmen Lezeth: And here's the thing If somebody else is being cruel or saying things that you don't believe are true, rick, okay, great, I agree with you.
• 4:19
  Carmen Lezeth: There are some people who are expressing themselves in the way in which they need to, and you know I have a good friend.
• 4:26
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm not going to say his name.
• 4:27
  Carmen Lezeth: He wrote a blog post and he's definitely a Harris supporter and you know.
• 4:34
  Carmen Lezeth: I know what he's talking about, but he's exaggerating and it's a whole other conspiracy theory.
• 4:40
  Carmen Lezeth: I say you just we just sat and yelled at other people for doing conspiracy theories and now, because we lost, you're going to do the stop.
• 4:48
  Carmen Lezeth: He got mad at me.
• 4:49
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm like be mad.
• 4:50
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm done.
• 4:51
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm done with cruelty.
• 4:53
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm done.
• 4:54
  Carmen Lezeth: I know it's about to get really bad, but I'm telling you right now if you're going to be in my circle, you're going to be on my show.
• 5:01
  Carmen Lezeth: You're going to be anywhere near anything I have anything to do with.
• 5:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm done with the cruelty.
• 5:06
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't care what you believe in, I don't care what religion you preach or listen to or whatever.
• 5:11
  Carmen Lezeth: If I think you're being cruel or you're doing something against my wellbeing and my spirit and my heart, you're done.
• 5:19
  Carmen Lezeth: You're out.
• 5:20
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm over it.
• 5:22
  Cynthia Ruiz: And I'm not messing with you.
• 5:24
  Carmen Lezeth: Hi, Tony, and Tony said good evening.
• 5:26
  Carmen Lezeth: Heavy topic across the country and very triggering to many.
• 5:28
  Carmen Lezeth: Emotions are high.
• 5:30
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what?
• 5:31
  Carmen Lezeth: I think that triggering might not be the best word.
• 5:35
  Carmen Lezeth: It's probably the right word, but I think using the word triggering nowadays triggers people.
• 5:39
  Carmen Lezeth: It's such a weird thing, but I absolutely agree with you.
• 5:45
  Carmen Lezeth: I think we need to be kind to each other, and Tonya just said I've said it before disrespect has taken over society worse than politics.
• 5:54
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, I'm not going to argue that point.
• 6:02
  Carmen Lezeth: I think you're.
• 6:02
  Carmen Lezeth: You are making a statement that I can't refute, but I think sometimes truth is being confused with lies and being confused with disrespect and be.
• 6:13
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 6:14
  Carmen Lezeth: Like, I think what we really need to do is stop talking and start listening more.
• 6:21
  Carmen Lezeth: And if you're going to talk and apologies for what I'm going to say, Rick, because I don't mean this towards you, but I am really sick and tired of people preaching that they're Christian and then acting unchristian-like.
• 6:33
  Carmen Lezeth: I am sick of it.
• 6:35
  Carmen Lezeth: I cannot tell you how many people in my DMs on my Facebook page are the most unchristian people on the planet and then you go to their site and they got Jesus written all over their Facebook page.
• 6:48
  Carmen Lezeth: It got crosses everywhere.
• 6:49
  Carmen Lezeth: Stop with the hypocrisy, Stop it and stop blaming everything on mental health.
• 6:56
  Carmen Lezeth: That's the other thing.
• 6:56
  Carmen Lezeth: People do something wrong.
• 6:58
  Carmen Lezeth: They're like, oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I just I'm a little bit sick and I don't feel good.
• 7:03
  Carmen Lezeth: Stop.
• 7:05
  Carmen Lezeth: Your bad behavior is bad behavior because you're not taking a breath.
• 7:10
  Carmen Lezeth: You're not taking a breath before you speak and thinking.
• 7:16
  Rick Costa: Coincidentally so I posted a one-minute little scripture thought thingy and today's was basically just because you say you have faith, your life basically can disprove it.
• 7:27
  Carmen Lezeth: Absolutely.
• 7:28
  Carmen Lezeth: I saw that.
• 7:30
  Rick Costa: And that's.
• 7:30
  Rick Costa: I didn't post it on purpose, that's just the next one that was on the list.
• 7:34
  Carmen Lezeth: No, no, but it's a truth.
• 7:35
  Carmen Lezeth: But it's a truth and I'll give you credit.
• 7:37
  Carmen Lezeth: You tend to preach that through your sermons on a daily basis.
• 7:42
  Carmen Lezeth: You are saying that.
• 7:43
  Carmen Lezeth: There's the thread that you always say that people can't just say that they believe in Jesus and then turn around and behave differently.
• 7:52
  Carmen Lezeth: Now, this is not going to be a religious broadcast or a political one, but we're talking about this stuff today because it matters.
• 8:00
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I?
• 8:00
  Rick Costa: mean Opposite day, like on Seinfeld matters you know what I mean opposite day, like on seinfeld, so uh, so yeah I was just um.
• 8:11
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, can I say one cool thing?
• 8:12
  Carmen Lezeth: It's joyful, yeah, but we're not the subject yet.
• 8:14
  Rick Costa: But go ahead no, it's still politics.
• 8:15
  Rick Costa: I absolutely loved biden's speech today.
• 8:18
  Carmen Lezeth: I thought it was really good I didn't even see it today because I was unable to but it.
• 8:23
  Carmen Lezeth: It was really good, it's on.
• 8:24
  Rick Costa: YouTube.
• 8:24
  Rick Costa: It's on YouTube.
• 8:25
  Rick Costa: It was very good, it was encouraging.
• 8:27
  Rick Costa: I felt better, I was like oh okay, oh good.
• 8:29
  Rick Costa: Good yeah, it was really good.
• 8:31
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, look it.
• 8:31
  Carmen Lezeth: I'll say this.
• 8:32
  Carmen Lezeth: Everyone here knows I am not a Trump supporter.
• 8:35
  Carmen Lezeth: I hate Trump.
• 8:37
  Carmen Lezeth: There's no doubt about it.
• 8:38
  Carmen Lezeth: But here's, he is the president elect.
• 8:41
  Carmen Lezeth: He is the former president of the United States, and I want that man to prove me wrong.
• 8:47
  Carmen Lezeth: I do.
• 8:47
  Carmen Lezeth: I want to be here in three months, in six months and eight months and be like damn, I was wrong.
• 8:55
  Carmen Lezeth: I love my country.
• 8:58
  Carmen Lezeth: I love my country.
• 8:59
  Carmen Lezeth: Prove me wrong.
• 9:01
  Carmen Lezeth: I am excited to see that happen.
• 9:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I am.
• 9:05
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know why people think I'd be betting against my own country.
• 9:08
  Carmen Lezeth: If this is the will of the people and I'm doing quotes because I'm doing it will of the people, because I'm questioning it, not the votes I'm just like is this really the will of the people, Did he?
• 9:19
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean?
• 9:20
  Carmen Lezeth: Then I want him to.
• 9:20
  Carmen Lezeth: I want to be.
• 9:20
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean?
• 9:22
  Carmen Lezeth: Then I want him to.
• 9:22
  Carmen Lezeth: I want to be.
• 9:23
  Carmen Lezeth: I will be happy to say I was motherfucking wrong.
• 9:27
  Carmen Lezeth: I love this.
• 9:28
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm excited.
• 9:29
  Carmen Lezeth: I want this country to unite, so I'm ready for it.
• 9:32
  Carmen Lezeth: Go ahead, Cynthia.
• 9:32
  Carmen Lezeth: You're going to say something before I went on no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 9:37
  Carmen Lezeth: But that's all I'm saying is.
• 9:38
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm excited for that.
• 9:39
  Carmen Lezeth: So I wish we would start thinking about the best in people instead of the worst.
• 9:44
  Carmen Lezeth: We're always going to have political sides.
• 9:48
  Carmen Lezeth: I think this idea that I can be friends with you and we have really incredible differences in our belief systems and we keep being bullied into these corners and sides and we keep being anti.
• 10:01
  Carmen Lezeth: I can't handle that, so I don't want to talk to you right now.
• 10:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't.
• 10:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I need a minute, and that minute may be seven months.
• 10:05
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't handle that, so I don't want to talk to you right now.
• 10:06
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't.
• 10:06
  Carmen Lezeth: I need a minute, and that minute may be seven months.
• 10:08
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know how long it's going to be, but I need to not be involved with the nastiness.
• 10:15
  Carmen Lezeth: I just I don't care who's doing it.
• 10:19
  Carmen Lezeth: Stop doing it.
• 10:20
  Carmen Lezeth: Do you know, Chris Gales?
• 10:24
  Rick Costa: Cynthia, you mean.
• 10:27
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, you do right, rick, of course I do.
• 10:28
  Carmen Lezeth: You do, okay, I don't think.
• 10:29
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, cynthia doesn't?
• 10:29
  Carmen Lezeth: I already asked her the green room, but she didn't react because she doesn't understand what we're talking about.
• 10:32
  Carmen Lezeth: The green, where I say we have to act like fresh, like it's new.
• 10:35
  Carmen Lezeth: I didn't ask him before I'm gonna play something he posted on tiktok.
• 10:39
  Carmen Lezeth: Let's see if I can do it.
• 10:41
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know if he's gonna come.
• 10:42
  Carmen Lezeth: I didn't ask him to come on.
• 10:44
  Carmen Lezeth: Anyways, he sent this to me and anyway, here it goes, let's see if I can do it.
• 10:49
  Chris Gales: Look, I'm at a point in my life where, if you say something negative about a group of people or about an individual, I'm going to call you on it and I'm going to tell you that's bullshit.
• 11:06
  Chris Gales: If you look at me and you say, don't overreact, or I'm being too sensitive, or you know, I'm just joking, I'm just kidding I'm going to look at you again and I'm going to say that's bullshit too.
• 11:24
  Chris Gales: I'm going to look at you again and I'm going to say that's bullshit too.
• 11:27
  Chris Gales: It's time to take all the negativity out of your vocabulary, all the negative phrases, negative, negative sayings that you've been OK with or people have pretended to be OK with over time.
• 11:41
  Chris Gales: It's time to throw that stuff away.
• 11:43
  Chris Gales: It's time.
• 11:44
  Chris Gales: It's time.
• 11:56
  Carmen Lezeth: I love him, right, but anyways I okay.
• 11:56
  Carmen Lezeth: So the whole gist of it is I have always believed a few things.
• 11:58
  Carmen Lezeth: Number one I think people need to stop talking about who they're voting for all the time.
• 12:02
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know when.
• 12:02
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember growing up and there was a time when that was a sacred and secret thing.
• 12:07
  Carmen Lezeth: Like you didn't talk about your salary Although I'm against that, I think everyone, especially women, should talk about their salaries all the time, because that's why we don't get equal pay.
• 12:15
  Carmen Lezeth: But that's a whole other conversation.
• 12:17
  Carmen Lezeth: But and I'm not saying things have to be secret and in the corner or whatever but I think that's also part of the polarization of who we've become.
• 12:25
  Carmen Lezeth: Is this constant like I'm red and I'm blue and I'm this and I'm that right?
• 12:31
  Carmen Lezeth: Thank you, carol.
• 12:32
  Carmen Lezeth: Yes, exactly, and then just being unkind.
• 12:35
  Carmen Lezeth: That's the whole point of this show.
• 12:37
  Carmen Lezeth: All about the joy.
• 12:39
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 12:40
  Carmen Lezeth: It's just this kind of it's not a joke.
• 12:42
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know if you guys have anything to chime in on that.
• 12:45
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm curious.
• 12:47
  Carmen Lezeth: Your thoughts?
• 12:48
  Rick Costa: I do remember that.
• 12:49
  Cynthia Ruiz: Sorry.
• 12:51
  Rick Costa: No go ahead.
• 12:52
  Cynthia Ruiz: I think when people start talking about their political views or whatever that, their manners, just they really go down the drain Like they.
• 13:00
  Cynthia Ruiz: Just it just brings out the nastiness in them.
• 13:03
  Cynthia Ruiz: It brings out they just forget to be kind.
• 13:06
  Cynthia Ruiz: You can have your views, you can vote for whoever you want, as long as you do vote.
• 13:11
  Cynthia Ruiz: It's just they just forget how to be nice to people and kind and stuff, which really sucks.
• 13:19
  TikTik Quincy Jones: Yeah.
• 13:20
  Rick Costa: I was going to say when I was young I remember you more or less knew if somebody leaned more Republican or Democrat, and I never even heard of independent when I was a kid like today, but nobody talked about.
• 13:33
  Rick Costa: Oh, I voted for so-and-so, it just wasn't done back then.
• 13:36
  Carmen Lezeth: And look, I'm not saying stay in secrecy, because I think part of what's great about this country already is that we do have the ability to speak to each other about it.
• 13:46
  Carmen Lezeth: Like I can argue with you till you know the cows come home.
• 13:51
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know where that saying comes from and I don't live on a farm, but about pro-choice versus pro-life, right, you and I have had these conversations like we can go back and forth and back and forth and then be like respectful and be like OK, cool, like you know what I mean, like you can have conversations.
• 14:10
  Carmen Lezeth: Like we can go back and forth and back and forth and then be like respectful and be like okay, cool, like you know what I mean, like you can have conversations.
• 14:11
  Carmen Lezeth: I think another thing that people are making excuses on that I'm done with everything is not social media's fault.
• 14:14
  Carmen Lezeth: You are motherfucking social media, you are so.
• 14:18
  Carmen Lezeth: Someone said and it has to do with your link, rick, that you put up yesterday.
• 14:23
  Carmen Lezeth: Here's the thing If you don't want to listen to people grieving, you know what you can do.
• 14:28
  Carmen Lezeth: You can actually change what you're watching.
• 14:31
  Carmen Lezeth: You can move along.
• 14:33
  Carmen Lezeth: You can go on your search engine and find dancing videos, please.
• 14:36
  Carmen Lezeth: Or you can go on TikTok.
• 14:39
  Carmen Lezeth: I have on TikTok.
• 14:40
  Carmen Lezeth: I blocked anything that says Trump.
• 14:42
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't get anything that is Trump related because I don't want the toxicity and again he is now president elect I'm talking about.
• 14:50
  Carmen Lezeth: I didn't want the toxicity in the past.
• 14:52
  Carmen Lezeth: I didn't want to listen to.
• 14:54
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean, so I blocked that stuff, so I wasn't listening to it at all.
• 14:59
  Carmen Lezeth: I also block things that I don't want to watch on a regular basis.
• 15:03
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't want to watch recipes and cooking no offense, but I don't cook.
• 15:07
  Carmen Lezeth: I want the food brought to me, but that's what's blocked on my TikTok.
• 15:11
  Carmen Lezeth: But you can do that Well, I don't want to watch.
• 15:13
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, the only one I watched, though, is Terry, because he's analyzing.
• 15:19
  Cynthia Ruiz: He's like police.
• 15:20
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, I'm not a doer this idea that somehow social media is forcing you to watch things that you can now make fun of and be cruel to.
• 15:32
  TikTik Quincy Jones: There is a fly I swear to god, I thought you were just talking with your hand.
• 15:40
  Cynthia Ruiz: I'm like get away from me stop.
• 15:42
  Carmen Lezeth: I've been going, no, but I mean, that's kind of the thing too.
• 15:47
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know why people need to comment on shit they don't like.
• 15:51
  Carmen Lezeth: If you read a comment or you see a post that you don't like, you know what you can do.
• 15:56
  Carmen Lezeth: You can choose not to comment.
• 15:58
  Carmen Lezeth: I do it every day.
• 15:59
  Carmen Lezeth: I will watch somebody do a TikTok or I'll see something, especially Facebook.
• 16:04
  Carmen Lezeth: There's like 1 million ads on facebook and then one person I know doing.
• 16:09
  Carmen Lezeth: It's a whole other issue, but like I'll see all these things and I'll be like you know, I'm just gonna pass on, I don't.
• 16:14
  Rick Costa: You don't have to comment on everything yeah, I'll be like on a youtube video about a whatever topic and somebody be in there.
• 16:22
  Rick Costa: I don't like this and I don't believe this.
• 16:23
  Rick Costa: I'm like, so why are you here?
• 16:30
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't get it.
• 16:30
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't get it.
• 16:32
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't understand why people do this and I think it needs to stop.
• 16:36
  Carmen Lezeth: And it's what Carol is saying about etiquette and manners we need to learn how to use social media.
• 16:42
  Carmen Lezeth: We need to learn how to talk to each other.
• 16:44
  Carmen Lezeth: If you're going to talk about topics of politics and religion, you better learn how to do it with kindness and grace and have an open attitude about it.
• 16:54
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm not saying you have to like everybody or not disagree.
• 16:57
  Carmen Lezeth: I disagree with most of the people watching this show, right?
• 17:01
  Cynthia Ruiz: now.
• 17:03
  Cynthia Ruiz: You can have a debate, just have a good debate, without all the toxic stuff in it, even the candidates like any candidate, not even this one like past ones.
• 17:14
  Cynthia Ruiz: It's like you can have a debate on what your views are for the country without going below the belt you know what I mean and not even they can do that.
• 17:26
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what?
• 17:26
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't even know if that's a topic, we should go there, because we can't handle that crap, but we can take care of ourselves, right?
• 17:34
  Carmen Lezeth: Melanie just said learn how to scroll past what you don't want.

  Carmen Lezeth: I think she did that intentionally.
• 17:45
  Carmen Lezeth: Learn how to not automatically react and say I hate people.
• 17:51
  Carmen Lezeth: Why'd you write?
• 17:55
  Carmen Lezeth: My favorite is when there's some celebrity I think it was Jennifer Aniston, or so.
• 17:59

• 18:14
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't even know and I'm like what she was talking about.
• 18:19
  Carmen Lezeth: I am naturally born this way.
• 18:22
  Carmen Lezeth: I have nothing done.
• 18:23
  Carmen Lezeth: It was like some scene from a movie.
• 18:26
  Carmen Lezeth: Do you know what I mean?
• 18:27
  Carmen Lezeth: And the people in the comments are just bringing and I don't give a fuck about Jennifer Aniston, it's not about Jennifer Aniston, I'm just Stop it.

  Carmen Lezeth: People like seeing other people fail.
• 19:01
  Carmen Lezeth: People like being cruel and mean, especially and we're not going to go down this thing especially when they can hide behind another name Melanie just said.
• 19:10
  Carmen Lezeth: One person I know on Facebook constantly attacks me on certain posts.
• 19:13
  Carmen Lezeth: I am so over it.

• 19:40
  Carmen Lezeth: I was like you know what it's too much trauma Block.
• 19:42
  Carmen Lezeth: I block so many people because I'm like I just I don't want the nastiness.
• 19:48
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't want the nastiness and again, I'm not going to be picking on horror films.
• 19:51
  Carmen Lezeth: I know weird segue.
• 19:52
  Carmen Lezeth: I know the reason why I don't watch horror films for me and I don't know if I'm overly sensitive or I just really believe it is because it does affect me, so I can't sleep.
• 20:06
  Carmen Lezeth: It takes me weeks to forget about it, Like I know.
• 20:09
  Carmen Lezeth: And here's the thing, that is something that is substantial to me since I was a little kid.
• 20:17
  Carmen Lezeth: But I think we've all heard this before right, the way we talk to ourselves, the people we put around it affects you, Melanie.
• 20:22
  Carmen Lezeth: Block that person.
• 20:23
  Carmen Lezeth: Block that person.
• 20:25
  Carmen Lezeth: Even if it's Rick girl, that's your Bible, you don't need him.
• 20:35
  Rick Costa: On Periscope.
• 20:35
  Rick Costa: Periscope was horrible with trolls and people just saying the most insane things and I'd be like I have a high tolerance for weirdos, but if it's too bad or you're attacking somebody else in the broadcast, I'm like we're going to bless and block Bye-bye.
• 20:49
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, bless and block.
• 20:51
  Carmen Lezeth: I forgot about that.
• 20:52

• 20:52
  Carmen Lezeth: Carol just said you got to guard your mind.
• 20:54
  Rick Costa: Yes.
• 20:55
  Carmen Lezeth: It's true.
• 20:56
  Carmen Lezeth: First of all, I think we need to also take a minute.
• 20:59
  Carmen Lezeth: People are really angry and they're blaming everybody and they're like I'm like, dude, it's been a minute.
• 21:04
  Carmen Lezeth: Can we just bring it down a notch?
• 21:05
  Carmen Lezeth: Can I have a minute to just cry in my grief and then put myself back up and be like, okay, I'm on it, Okay, I'm ready.
• 21:14
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean?
• 21:14
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm ready.
• 21:15
  Cynthia Ruiz: It was funny in my office yesterday.
• 21:17
  Cynthia Ruiz: It was so quiet Usually like everybody in all the offices are just chit-chatting.
• 21:23
  Cynthia Ruiz: Everyone was grieving and there are Trump and Harris supporters in the office, but it was just like everyone was just being respectful of each other and just letting everyone take it in.
• 21:39
  Cynthia Ruiz: It was very weird.
• 21:41
  Carmen Lezeth: Not in the offices I work in.
• 21:42
  Carmen Lezeth: You could cut the tension with a knife.
• 21:44
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, because there's one section of the production team that are Trump supporters and then there's another section like the construction workers, the admin people, so there's all like the producers and all the.
• 21:57
  Carmen Lezeth: It's just so funny how it's so segregated.
• 21:59
  Carmen Lezeth: Even in this production house are all Harris supporters.
• 22:04
  Carmen Lezeth: And when I walked in to the office today, I was like, oh my God, cause I go into the warehouse and then I go anyway.
• 22:11
  Carmen Lezeth: I walked in and I was like, oh my God, please help me get through this.
• 22:15
  Carmen Lezeth: Because it was.
• 22:17
  Carmen Lezeth: It wasn't respectful, there was a toxicity, there was a you know what.
• 22:23
  Carmen Lezeth: Somebody wanted to blow and say something, because they've all been tiptoeing around each other all this time and now the results are in.
• 22:30
  Carmen Lezeth: But but I, you know, I was like I kind of tried to break the ice.
• 22:36
  Carmen Lezeth: It wasn't good.
• 22:36
  Carmen Lezeth: Actually, my boss came in and he was totally cool.
• 22:40
  Carmen Lezeth: He's looking, we need to just everybody needs to just chill, we need to talk about this.
• 22:44
  Carmen Lezeth: Let's get pizza for lunch, let's.
• 22:46
  Carmen Lezeth: You know, it's fine, we're going to be okay.
• 22:48
  Carmen Lezeth: And that was actually what broke the ice.
• 22:50
  Carmen Lezeth: I was kind of like what's wrong?
• 22:52
  Carmen Lezeth: Everybody, come on, we got work to do.
• 22:55
  Carmen Lezeth: We have things to do.
• 22:57
  Carmen Lezeth: That didn't work so well because I was just so over it.
• 23:00
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 23:03
  Rick Costa: Pizza brought the love and joy back.
• 23:05
  Carmen Lezeth: Pizza brought the love and joy.
• 23:06
  Carmen Lezeth: It's so funny because it's been two days, so this is my, because the first day was another client.
• 23:11
  Carmen Lezeth: Usually I'm there by myself, so it wasn't okay.
• 23:13
  Carmen Lezeth: There was tension there too, but I didn't see some of the other people.
• 23:16
  Carmen Lezeth: There was only one group of Harris supporters that were there.
• 23:19
  Carmen Lezeth: And then people who don't talk about politics.
• 23:22
  Carmen Lezeth: So yesterday wasn't so bad, but today I was like come on, stop it.
• 23:28
  Carmen Lezeth: I was so frustrated.
• 23:30
  Carmen Lezeth: It's my country, stop it.
• 23:33
  Carmen Lezeth: Come on, people, you know what I mean.
• 23:35
  Carmen Lezeth: So Melanie wrote Rick, did you take that post down?
• 23:39
  Carmen Lezeth: I can't find it.
• 23:40
  Carmen Lezeth: No, he revised it.
• 23:42
  Carmen Lezeth: In all fairness, can I say what I think you did, and then you could say what the truth?
• 23:47
  Rick Costa: is yeah sure.
• 23:49
  Carmen Lezeth: So he wrote a post and I forgot what it said.
• 23:51
  Carmen Lezeth: But when I read it and I think other people too right Cause I wasn't, was it just me who?
• 23:55
  Carmen Lezeth: You were very kind when you said people have misunderstood.
• 23:59
  Carmen Lezeth: I was like I did not misunderstand.
• 24:02
  Carmen Lezeth: Here's the thing.
• 24:03
  Carmen Lezeth: I will call out everybody and anybody.
• 24:05
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, that's the one thing, you know.
• 24:07
  Carmen Lezeth: I will call out anybody and everybody.
• 24:08
  Carmen Lezeth: But you wrote the post, because why don't you just tell me what the post was?
• 24:12
  Carmen Lezeth: Do you not want to bring that up?
• 24:14
  Rick Costa: No, that's fine.
• 24:15
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't even know what it was.
• 24:16
  Rick Costa: I don't remember what it was Basically, it said enough with.
• 24:19
  Rick Costa: You want me to quote exactly.
• 24:21
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, you said enough.
• 24:22
  Rick Costa: With the lefty meltdown videos?
• 24:25
  Rick Costa: Do you even pray for them or just laugh at them?
• 24:28
  Carmen Lezeth: And that's all you wrote.
• 24:29
  Carmen Lezeth: And so when you read that, I was like why is he making fun of people grieving?
• 24:35
  Carmen Lezeth: And I was like and I did not see, this is how you do things, people.
• 24:38
  Carmen Lezeth: I did not post that on the comment, I sent him a direct message and I said Rick, is this very Jesus like that you're making?
• 24:46
  Carmen Lezeth: You're asking your followers if they should either laugh at people who are grieving or if they should pray for them.
• 24:54
  Carmen Lezeth: And somebody had started writing, somebody wrote something like both and I'm like see, no, I didn't misunderstand it.
• 25:00
  Carmen Lezeth: I know I did it, but that's not what you meant.
• 25:03
  Carmen Lezeth: And I sense I mean I was upset because I could not believe you wrote that, but I don't think I was mean to you about it.
• 25:11
  Rick Costa: No, no, no no no, I wish you had still been awake so I could go to bed, not thinking oh, karma's mad at me today.
• 25:18
  Rick Costa: Oh, I'm so sorry, I did go to bed.
• 25:21
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm so sorry I was leaving.
• 25:24
  Rick Costa: This is a misunderstanding.
• 25:25
  Rick Costa: It's the opposite of what you're saying.
• 25:29
  Carmen Lezeth: That's what you said.
• 25:30
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what you should have texted me, baby.
• 25:33
  Carmen Lezeth: It didn't even dawn, baby.
• 25:34
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm so sorry, you know, it didn't even dawn on me.
• 25:36
  Carmen Lezeth: I was just so pissed and then I was like I'm going to bed, I can't believe Rick.
• 25:40
  Carmen Lezeth: He said he's like Jesus, he always bleaches.
• 25:43
  Carmen Lezeth: I was like I really wasn't mad at you because I knew you were going to deal with it.
• 25:49
  Cynthia Ruiz: I just didn't know you'd seen it.
• 25:51
  Cynthia Ruiz: I'm sorry, that's all right.
• 25:52
  Cynthia Ruiz: Okay, this is how you debate people with two different views like.
• 25:57
  Carmen Lezeth: In the future, though, you can just text me, be like oh my god, carmen, don't be, you know, because you know I shut down everything, I'm out and nothing's on my phone.
• 26:05
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm so sorry.
• 26:06
  Carmen Lezeth: I am sorry you thought about that, not that I think it's that big of a deal.
• 26:09
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm in your thought, but I hope you didn't think I was mad at you isn't that a quote from a show or movie?
• 26:14
  Rick Costa: you think what we?
• 26:15
  Carmen Lezeth: have here is a failure to communicate.
• 26:17
  Carmen Lezeth: It is I don't know what movie it is.
• 26:20
  Rick Costa: I can't think of it either, but yeah, it's a movie rick.
• 26:23
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go to bed without clarifying that.
• 26:26
  Carmen Lezeth: I saw what you, yeah, but you revised it because that's not what you meant yeah, no, not at all, yeah opposite yeah, you meant people should stop making fun of people grieving and they should stop laughing and pray for them or embrace them.
• 26:40
  Carmen Lezeth: And you said it again on your show today, which I really appreciated in your prayer part.
• 26:44
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, I appreciate that.
• 26:45
  Carmen Lezeth: But yeah, cynthia, you're right, that's how you debate, that's how you talk, that's how you have conversations, and misunderstandings can be unfolded and taken care of.
• 26:54
  Carmen Lezeth: I really was shook, though I could not understand why you wrote that, because I didn't know what you were talking about.
• 27:02
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean?
• 27:03
  Carmen Lezeth: That's all I was reading.
• 27:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I was like damn, that's not Jesus Like.
• 27:06
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm more like Jesus than he is.
• 27:07
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember saying that before I went to bed.
• 27:13
  Cynthia Ruiz: I totally did.
• 27:14
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm horrible so another thing do you guys have anything else you want?
• 27:20
  Carmen Lezeth: Maybe we can get back to this.
• 27:21
  Carmen Lezeth: I just wanted to maybe get to the next subject.
• 27:24
  Rick Costa: But what's also funny is that generally I don't talk about stuff like that, as you well know, and I was like this I need to address because this is just getting annoying, because it keeps coming up on my feed and then people just making fun of them and laugh Like people like losing their mind, whatever, and people like I'm like, come on, this is enough, that's enough.
• 27:43
  Rick Costa: Enough is enough.
• 27:44
  Carmen Lezeth: Like I look at again, it's not just all of us in social media.
• 27:48
  Carmen Lezeth: There are people that are in positions of power, that have millions of followers who are doing that, and I think that's what makes me sad.
• 27:56
  Carmen Lezeth: I feel like, with the few followers I have, I feel like as a human being, I have a responsibility to be a decent human being and a good person and I think, taking people's grief I don't care what it is, I don't care what the grief is.
• 28:12
  Carmen Lezeth: I look at Alden's going to hate me.
• 28:16
  Carmen Lezeth: Alden's traveling right now but Alden's a cyclist and he'll get upset about his bike.
• 28:20
  Carmen Lezeth: He has, I guess, like a $10,000 bike and I guess that's like a big.
• 28:23
  Carmen Lezeth: He has many bikes but they're very expensive.
• 28:25
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm like I wouldn't spend no $10,000 on no damn bike.
• 28:37
  Carmen Lezeth: You know he's, he's my baby, whatever I'm like okay, inside I say that I'll say oh, I totally get it.
• 28:39
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean like totally.
• 28:40
  Rick Costa: He's like jay leno with his cars or my.
• 28:42
  Carmen Lezeth: You guys saw the sneakers I bought the other day.
• 28:44
  Carmen Lezeth: I showed you.
• 28:45
  Carmen Lezeth: I was just about to say that, okay, I bought what they're 400, I don't know how much, it was $400 or $500 sneakers and I thought Cynthia was going to jump through the door.
• 28:55
  Carmen Lezeth: But then I reminded her of Disney and her craft with Disney.
• 29:01
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, I think you reminded her of Disney, I think you did.
• 29:05
  Carmen Lezeth: Actually, we all have our things, is what I'm saying, and I would grieve if those sneakers somehow got a little.
• 29:13
  Carmen Lezeth: See, if I accidentally walked in dog shit or something, I'd be and you might think good for you.
• 29:21
  Carmen Lezeth: But do you need to mock me?
• 29:22
  Carmen Lezeth: No, we do not mock each other.
• 29:25
  Carmen Lezeth: Maybe on the inside.
• 29:27
  Carmen Lezeth: On the inside we might Private message.
• 29:34
  Carmen Lezeth: We're in a private message.
• 29:35
  Carmen Lezeth: We're like girl, they're just sneakers.
• 29:36
  Carmen Lezeth: What's wrong with you?
• 29:40
  Carmen Lezeth: I wanted to acknowledge that Quincy Jones passed away this week.
• 29:45
  Carmen Lezeth: I know I want to put a little video clip about him that I thought was interesting.
• 29:52
  Carmen Lezeth: Might be fun to talk about just part of his influence on music, but I'm not sure you guys are going to be able to hear it if I do it that way.
• 29:59
  Carmen Lezeth: So let me see if I can share it on the screen, right?
• 30:02
  Carmen Lezeth: What am I going to do?
• 30:03
  Carmen Lezeth: How do I do it?
• 30:04
  Rick Costa: Does everybody have the echo cancellation on?
• 30:06
  Rick Costa: Just to make sure it doesn't echo.
• 30:09
  Carmen Lezeth: How do we do that?
• 30:10
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, under the settings.
• 30:12
  Rick Costa: Yeah, and then go audio.
• 30:15
  Carmen Lezeth: Audio.
• 30:15
  Carmen Lezeth: But should it be blue or black?
• 30:17
  Carmen Lezeth: This doesn't help.
• 30:18
  Carmen Lezeth: Blue Mine is blue Cynthia can't look, she can't look, she's on her phone, the 1875 phone.
• 30:27
  Rick Costa: No, I'm just kidding.
• 30:28
  Carmen Lezeth: Is that a nice thing?
• 30:29
  Carmen Lezeth: No, I'm just kidding.
• 30:31
  Rick Costa: I was going to say Jesus, like Rick.
• 30:38
  Carmen Lezeth: There will be no laughter.
• 30:39
  Carmen Lezeth: We all nice thing.
• 30:40
  Carmen Lezeth: No, I'm just kidding either way you think about that, whether it was 18 dollars and 75 cents or the year 1875, no matter how you think of it that was good.
• 30:54
  Carmen Lezeth: I was just going to pull it up as let me try it this way.
• 30:58
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, here it goes.
• 31:00
  TikTik Quincy Jones: What on those albums Thriller, for example is you?
• 31:04
  TikTik Quincy Jones: We take his stuff and take it to another level.
• 31:06
  TikTik Quincy Jones: Don't stop till you get enough.
• 31:08
  TikTik Quincy Jones: It's very well known that Michael sent me a note.
• 31:14
  TikTik Quincy Jones: Could you please take off the violins in the introduction, though it's messed up my groove.
• 31:19
  TikTik Quincy Jones: You know what that line was Diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle Identifying line on the goddamn song.
• 31:27
  TikTik Quincy Jones: So he said take it off, yeah, and you said no way, he don't tell me what to do.
• 31:35
  TikTik Quincy Jones: No, who was right?
• 31:37
  TikTik Quincy Jones: Well, what ended up on the record?
• 31:39
  TikTik Quincy Jones: That's one of the strongest parts of the introduction.
• 31:52
  Carmen Lezeth: But wasn't that kind of cool.
• 31:53
  Carmen Lezeth: You could see just how he.
• 31:55
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, thank you Melanie, thank you Carol.
• 31:57
  Carmen Lezeth: They could hear.
• 31:58
  Carmen Lezeth: It Isn't that interesting, though, that you can understand the importance of a really good producer and the relationship, like you could see the argument going back and forth.
• 32:09
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 32:10
  Carmen Lezeth: Like take that out because it's messing with my groove.
• 32:12
  Carmen Lezeth: I would totally be that same person.
• 32:14
  Carmen Lezeth: I would have been saying that.
• 32:15
  Carmen Lezeth: I would have been like you know what it's messing with my groove, can we take that out?
• 32:19
  Carmen Lezeth: And I would have been so wrong, but Michael listened to him or didn't have a choice.
• 32:23
  Carmen Lezeth: So I thought that was an interesting clip, because it's short and it says so much about the relationship.
• 32:28
  Rick Costa: And it's 100% right.
• 32:29
  Rick Costa: It is the identifying clip of the song.
• 32:32
  Rick Costa: You just hear that one part.
• 32:33
  Rick Costa: You know exactly what song it is.
• 32:35
  Carmen Lezeth: Exactly, I thought that was so good.
• 32:37
  Carmen Lezeth: Shout out to Quincy Jones and his family and Melanie said I like the violins in that song.
• 32:43
  Carmen Lezeth: What was mine, I know right, it does make the whole song.
• 32:48
  Carmen Lezeth: It's fascinating because I remember just as a little kid, especially Cynthia you no, you weren't born, but when I first started dancing was with Doña Felita on Forbes Street.
• 33:00
  Carmen Lezeth: She used to round up the little kids in the neighborhood and we would dance or whatever for, like, the VFW.
• 33:06
  Carmen Lezeth: Now when I think about it, they still do it.
• 33:08
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, they do.
• 33:09
  Carmen Lezeth: But look at me, I'm like now when I think about how weird it was, like how creepy it was.
• 33:13
  Carmen Lezeth: But we would dance for the VFW and we'd wear these, like and I thought I was Puerto Rican.
• 33:18
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm not Puerto Rican, but I'm very proud to have been confused to be Because we would sing Que bonita la bandera, que bonita la bandera, que bonita la bandera, la bandera.
• 33:29
  Carmen Lezeth: Puerto Rican, which is is how beautiful the flag, how beautiful the flag, how beautiful the flag of Puerto Rico.
• 33:43
  Carmen Lezeth: But we would sing that because clearly she was Puerto Rican, but also, I think, because we were in the Puerto Rican parade.
• 33:45
  Carmen Lezeth: We would do all these different things, but I just always remember.
• 33:48
  Carmen Lezeth: You would listen to her and she would tell you what you should and should not do.
• 33:51
  Carmen Lezeth: And we were just little kids, so we would just do it.
• 33:53
  Carmen Lezeth: But some kids would be like they didn't want to do it.
• 33:57
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 33:58
  Carmen Lezeth: Like they didn't want it, they would mess it up and then she'd be like you're out and I'd be like, oh, I don't want to get out, chris, I just played, you Played you.
• 34:08
  Carmen Lezeth: He's so cool.
• 34:11
  Carmen Lezeth: Let me see if we can get him up here.
• 34:13
  Carmen Lezeth: Chris, I thought I sent you a link to see if you could join us, because I know I didn't think he was playing tonight.
• 34:21
  Carmen Lezeth: Rick, do you have him on Facebook?
• 34:23
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, wait.
• 34:27
  Carmen Lezeth: Alright, let me hook this up.
• 34:29
  Carmen Lezeth: Let me speak amongst yourselves.
• 34:34
  Cynthia Ruiz: I was always bummed because I was never in those and I wanted my mom to put me in and she never did.
• 34:42
  Carmen Lezeth: It was when we got older, because you're so much younger than that.
• 34:46
  Carmen Lezeth: Not that much younger, but you're not that much younger.
• 34:50
  Rick Costa: Chris, you got played, yes, yes, I played you.
• 34:53
  Carmen Lezeth: Did you get my message on TikTok?
• 34:55
  Carmen Lezeth: I took the link you sent me About you Talking about kindness and the way in which we talk to each other and that kind of headed off our whole conversation.
• 35:06
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, I sent you the link.
• 35:09
  Carmen Lezeth: I sent you the link if you want to come on.
• 35:10
  Carmen Lezeth: I know you're not playing tonight, I think you're not anyways, but yeah, so you didn't do con doña felita, you did not do that.
• 35:17
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, that's when I first started performing, but I just remember how important it was that you not only because you didn't want to get kicked out, but yeah, I love that clip and also quincy jones's breath of like his resume is ridiculous, but, as everyone knows, my favorite movie is what color?
• 35:39
  Carmen Lezeth: Purple, purple, and he was the executive producer for that, for the original is the, but also the one afterwards.
• 35:46
  Carmen Lezeth: I think he was involved with the one afterwards as well.
• 35:48
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, so god bless him and rashida jones, his daughter, lovely actress, peace.
• 35:54
  Carmen Lezeth: And I don't know, I think it's a tough time when someone passes away, even if you, him and Rashida Jones, his daughter, lovely actress, peace.
• 35:59
  Carmen Lezeth: And I don't know, I think it's a tough time when someone passes away, even if you know they're going to or they're older or whatever he did.
• 36:02
  Rick Costa: I guess it's considered like a Christmas album Handles Messiah but like in a Black gospel but not only Black gospel he took it like from different time periods with a Black influence, so it totally transforms the song.
• 36:15
  Rick Costa: That's one of my favorite albums.
• 36:17
  Carmen Lezeth: Really Nice.
• 36:20
  Carmen Lezeth: I think Chris Gales is in the house.
• 36:22
  Carmen Lezeth: Hold up one second, hello sir, hello, oh, we can't hear you when you're echoing.
• 36:35
  Cynthia Ruiz: Wait a second.
• 36:36
  Carmen Lezeth: Better, better, better, better, better.
• 36:37
  Carmen Lezeth: Excellent, mr Joy Holla.
• 36:41
  Chris Gales: Hello, how are you?
• 36:42
  Carmen Lezeth: doing?
• 36:43
  Carmen Lezeth: How are?
• 36:44
  Chris Gales: you, I'm good.
• 36:46
  Carmen Lezeth: I loved your video.
• 36:47
  Carmen Lezeth: Thank you for tagging me in it or sending it to me.
• 36:50
  Carmen Lezeth: Were you trying to tell me something?
• 36:52
  Carmen Lezeth: I am the queen of kindness with a little swearing no, but what spurred you?
• 37:01
  Carmen Lezeth: Is it all the political stuff?
• 37:03
  Carmen Lezeth: Is that what it was?
• 37:05
  Chris Gales: Yeah, someone had expressed a concern because of their situation and they're living in fear, a type of fear now, but it's a fear that some of us were used to and we've become so acclimated with it that it sits in the back of our head, but it's not right here.
• 37:24
  Chris Gales: It sits in the back of our head, but it's not right here.
• 37:39
  Carmen Lezeth: Some of the jokes and stuff that we hear and we let pass because at one point in time, it would do no good to say anything about it.
• 37:41
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I just did a disservice.
• 37:42
  Carmen Lezeth: Let me just interrupt you for a moment.
• 37:43
  Carmen Lezeth: I never introduced you to Cynthia.
• 37:45
  Carmen Lezeth: Cynthia, this is Chris Gales.
• 37:48
  Carmen Lezeth: Cynthia, my apologies.
• 37:53
  Carmen Lezeth: I always think everybody knows everybody, so I apologize, okay.
• 37:58
  Rick Costa: Cynthia's part of Carmen's family bush.
• 38:03
  Carmen Lezeth: He's not going to know what the hell that means.
• 38:05
  Carmen Lezeth: The man does not listen to the show because he's busy on thursday night.
• 38:09
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm saying family tree because cynthia is actually my cousin.
• 38:15
  Carmen Lezeth: I always say it's a family bush because there's like weeds, it's a mess.
• 38:21
  Carmen Lezeth: It's a mess, so it's a bush.
• 38:24
  Carmen Lezeth: Uh, it just sounded wrong when Rick just said it.
• 38:27
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, but yeah, so people are living in fear and expressing that, and you were concerned and so you made a statement.
• 38:38
  Chris Gales: It's just little things.
• 38:39
  Chris Gales: It's hard for me to watch Westerns these days.
• 38:42
  Chris Gales: It's hard for me to watch Bonanza.
• 38:45
  Chris Gales: In fact, bonanza in particular, somebody was mentioning on Facebook.
• 38:50
  Chris Gales: You can learn a lot about your friends by looking at social media.
• 38:53
  Chris Gales: But somebody was upset because they were watching the episode of Bonanza and there was a warning displayed before it saying that the views of this show is not the views of, and they're trying to say what does that mean?
• 39:08
  Chris Gales: Mean, and you do know the cowboys weren't the good guys and cowboy was an indian right.
• 39:12
  Chris Gales: A lot of people don't realize that but why would?
• 39:15
  Carmen Lezeth: a show wasn't bonanza like back in the 60s?
• 39:18
  Carmen Lezeth: Why would that have a warning?
• 39:21
  Chris Gales: because the cowboys were not always the good guys in the situations did they have the warning back then?
• 39:28
  Carmen Lezeth: That's my point.
• 39:28
  Carmen Lezeth: No, they did not.
• 39:29
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, that's what I'm saying.
• 39:30
  Carmen Lezeth: So they're doing it now, so that you.
• 39:32
  Chris Gales: They're doing it now, okay, which back then it should have been done.
• 39:38
  Carmen Lezeth: It shouldn't have even been done, it should have never aired.
• 39:40
  Chris Gales: It's become such the norm that it's become accepted, and when you call them out on the fact that, yeah, that's wrong, you're being oversensitive about it.
• 39:52
  TikTik Quincy Jones: Well, not really.
• 39:54
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, yeah, I think people like to excuse, Like you know.
• 39:59
  Carmen Lezeth: And again I don't want to get us back into you know politics.
• 40:03
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm sorry.
• 40:03
  Carmen Lezeth: What did you say, chris?
• 40:05
  Chris Gales: Excuse, this really isn't politics, this is just no it's just being is just having manners.
• 40:11
  Carmen Lezeth: People are like oh, you're so woke.
• 40:14
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm like, see, that is just an excuse to continue having bad behavior and bad language, because it really doesn't hurt me at all to say something correctly or in a preferred manner or to be considerate of other people, so like this whole kind of woke thing or whatever like just because you have to adjust a tiny bit.
• 40:35
  Chris Gales: You know is so difficult, so I think that's part of it too you know when, when that, when that phrase comes toward me oh, you're so woke, well, you just go on back to sleep over there you know, it's such a weird.
• 40:49
  Carmen Lezeth: It is a weird, it's a weird dish.
• 40:53
  Carmen Lezeth: Like you're so woke, I'm like thank you yeah, thank you very much.
• 41:00
  Chris Gales: It's like saying I'm intelligent.
• 41:02
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know what else to say with that.
• 41:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm kind, compassionate, intelligent.
• 41:06
  Carmen Lezeth: I can change, I'm able to adapt to my circumstances.
• 41:11
  Carmen Lezeth: Like thank you is the only answer to being you know.
• 41:14
  Carmen Lezeth: Everyone should be woke, Everyone you know.
• 41:18
  Chris Gales: Yeah, when you point some of this stuff out, it's not just too sensitive, no, it's just you're a dork.
• 41:24
  Cynthia Ruiz: Yeah.
• 41:25
  Rick Costa: You're a dork, you put it nicely.
• 41:27
  Carmen Lezeth: You used a heavy word there, chris, I don't know X-rated.
• 41:31
  Rick Costa: Yeah, La, la, la, la, la la.
• 41:34
  Cynthia Ruiz: That's when you just say bless your heart.
• 41:38
  Chris Gales: Bless your heart.
• 41:39
  Chris Gales: Hey, that's a good one.
• 41:40
  Chris Gales: They will understand that one very well.

• 41:44
  Chris Gales: Bless your heart, yeah.
• 41:46
  TikTik Quincy Jones: Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  Chris Gales: It is a blessing.
• 42:24
  Carmen Lezeth: Cynthia, you may not know, but Chris Gayles plays, he sings, and he plays the guitar with his tongue as well, which is crazy.
• 42:33
  Cynthia Ruiz: I saw the video.
• 42:35
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, you saw that it's scary, but we love Chris and I always wanted to come on the show.
• 42:41
  Carmen Lezeth: But then I also don't like, as always, I don't like to pressure people to come on all the time and I know sometimes when I send the link there's that oh, I can't make it, and I'm like, oh my God, just come if you can.
• 42:50
  Carmen Lezeth: So today I noticed I'm like, oh, I know he home because he just sent me a direct message.

  Carmen Lezeth: But then I was like maybe he was saying this about me.
• 43:14
  Carmen Lezeth: When was I unkind?
• 43:16
  Chris Gales: No, but look, it didn't even matter, I just came on and used says, I still say Crystal's is better than White Castle.
• 43:31
  Chris Gales: That was his response.
• 43:33
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know what that is.
• 43:35
  Chris Gales: I don't even know what that means he was just trying to be funny, but to me, the way, the mood that I was in and everything that came off, as I don't respect what you just said, I want to make a joke out of it.
• 43:49
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, so I'm sorry, I don't know what crystal.

• 44:52
  Chris Gales: I started to say something.
• 44:56
  Chris Gales: See, you just showed how serious that you are taking me, and you can sense the seriousness of it, but you choose to joke.
• 45:04
  Chris Gales: I figured you would be.
• 45:06
  Chris Gales: One of the problems is what I started to say, that's right.
• 45:08
  Carmen Lezeth: Melanie just said I know White Castle, not the other, and Carol now cleared this up.
• 45:13
  Carmen Lezeth: It's a New Jersey thing.
• 45:15
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, got it.

  Chris Gales: Wait what?
• 47:16
  Chris Gales: The band director here?
• 47:17
  Chris Gales: I had a little conversation with him one day about how they snuff out the creativity in students.
• 47:24
  Chris Gales: Okay, Hmm, when I don't know how it is there.
• 47:27
  Chris Gales: But here, when you're in band and you want to play an instrument, they have you play on the different mouthpieces and they say, oh, you will be better on this instrument.

  Carmen Lezeth: I did and I was horrible.

  Carmen Lezeth: I was horrible, but I was only like nine years old and in that moment I still see her face.
• 49:44
  Carmen Lezeth: She was, it was one of the nuns and she was like you know what?
• 49:47
  Carmen Lezeth: you're not a singer, you're never gonna be a singer oh something else and let me tell you, I look at, I always get around say I have a horrible voice.
• 49:54
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't, I do not have a horrible voice and I actually can't keep a tune, but it kept me from ever pursuing anything.
• 50:02
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, and that's why that time when you told me and I think we're interviewing or we were, you were on the show or something you were like you should sing, I was like I would never because I won't.
• 50:11
  Carmen Lezeth: It was traumatic to me.
• 50:13
  Carmen Lezeth: Now, I'm not saying I had a voice like Whitney Houston, but it did keep me from pursuing that.
• 50:21
  Rick Costa: Too bad he didn't exist back then, or not famous.
• 50:23
  Rick Costa: We'd have been like listen, simon Cowell.
• 50:31
  Chris Gales: I don't need your opinion.
• 50:32
  Chris Gales: Okay, when people can't sing, I say you need to listen to bob dylan, and if you really listen, real close.
• 50:35
  Carmen Lezeth: James brown too, you know hey right, I know everybody's got their own, but I look at, because I really believe that.
• 50:42
  Carmen Lezeth: I believe that you should encourage children and maybe someone does that, but you don't tell a nine-year-old, basically, that they suck yeah, it's their first time and you don't tell a nine-year-old basically that they suck and it's their first time and you didn't give them no coaching, you didn't give them nothing yeah, yes, you know yeah, so that's too bad about your son, but is he happy, like he can move on?
• 51:01
  Chris Gales: he's fine, he's fine, it's.
