- 3:54Speaker 1: so I think we did a really great um, Considering
- 3:59Speaker 1: there's two of us, and we had, of course other
- 4:01Speaker 1: folks helping us. But for the most part, this is
- 4:04Speaker 1: still a two women show for certain things, and so
- 4:07Speaker 1: that was one of them. And so yeah, just thank
- 4:10Speaker 1: you all for your patients. We haven't forgotten about any
- 4:14Speaker 1: haven't for the final things we need to mail out.
- 4:17Speaker 1: It's coming, it's happening, and row we're doing it. So
- 4:22Speaker 1: thank you for rocking with us. Thank you for rocking
- 4:24Speaker 1: with us. Truth be told, we're overwhelmed. We're overwhelmed. UM,
- 4:30Speaker 1: we're gonna talk. That's like a good that's a good
- 4:32Speaker 1: segment segue, Like, we're overwhelmed, y'all, We're overwhelmed. We are
- 4:39Speaker 1: low key burned out. We have to admit that Considering
- 4:48Speaker 1: was a intense year for all of us, UM, and
- 4:52Speaker 1: it affected us financially as well, like for the podcast.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Like if you're a listener, you know that we've gone
- 4:57Speaker 1: on university circuits. That's like a big way that we
- 5:01Speaker 1: made our money and are on our income. So that
- 5:03Speaker 1: was greatly affected UM. But it also you know, gave
- 5:07Speaker 1: us that room to get creative and level up in
- 5:09Speaker 1: different ways than One of those ways was selling app space,
- 5:12Speaker 1: which meant producing more content, being more on social media.
- 5:16Speaker 1: It's when we had our l a Times feature, so
- 5:18Speaker 1: we got verified. A lot of really big, incredible things
- 5:20Speaker 1: happened to us in as a project as look at
- 5:23Speaker 1: our radio and so I think that we're a little
- 5:27Speaker 1: burned out this year. You know. One, I think it's
- 5:30Speaker 1: all settling. It's all settling in. We did a lot
- 5:34Speaker 1: with what we could and so that's where we're at. Yeah,
- 5:37Speaker 1: I agree completely, I echo all of that. I mean,
- 5:41Speaker 1: you know, we have two weekly shows now and a
- 5:45Speaker 1: running a weekly show getting our LLC. We are now
- 5:49Speaker 1: look at thought our productions LLC. Mind you, we are
- 5:53Speaker 1: now a true production company because we are a company
- 5:58Speaker 1: formerly in the lives in the eyes of the federal government.
- 6:01Speaker 1: We are formally a company. So that took time and
- 6:06Speaker 1: we're still working on that because now that's another layer,
- 6:09Speaker 1: that's an ongoing thing. Any business owners out there will
- 6:12Speaker 1: know that you have your LLC. So that means now
- 6:16Speaker 1: you have a lot more work. Now the work is
- 6:19Speaker 1: ramping up. And I think part of it is, you know,
- 6:22Speaker 1: the work is ramping up. We have more responsibilities. You
- 6:25Speaker 1: also is still working full time. You guys like you
- 6:29Speaker 1: have no idea, the lengths that we go to, like
- 6:33Speaker 1: the way that we run ourselves raggedy to deliver this
- 6:38Speaker 1: supreme content to you guys, Like this is good stuff,
- 6:43Speaker 1: you know, um, and we really do give it are all.
- 6:47Speaker 1: So we love it and that's why we do it.
- 6:50Speaker 1: But it's a lot. So we're a little overwhelmed, we're
- 6:54Speaker 1: a little burnt out. But we do have tons of help.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I mean, our audio editor, Jordan's, is everythinging. Jordan's came
- 7:01Speaker 1: on to our team onto team look at like this
- 7:05Speaker 1: time last year, and since then, the audio on the
- 7:09Speaker 1: podcast has leveled all the way up. We're able to
- 7:11Speaker 1: produce more shows, were able to be a weekly show.
- 7:15Speaker 1: We're able to like do more with our segments and
- 7:18Speaker 1: with our guests, and and we know that it's in
- 7:21Speaker 1: good hands and that our audio editor is going to
- 7:23Speaker 1: make it sound good. And it just also is like
- 7:27Speaker 1: so much hard work that the also was doing to
- 7:30Speaker 1: edit the audio, and so we're so grateful for Jordan's
- 7:34Speaker 1: and it's like so much, it's like so much, you know, Yeah, yeah,
- 7:38Speaker 1: it's a lot, it's a lot, And I think Jordan
- 7:40Speaker 1: was one of our first hires of which was really
- 7:44Speaker 1: exciting for us because yeah, it like got overwhelming for
- 7:48Speaker 1: me to be putting out the edits and the shows
- 7:52Speaker 1: and then our deadlines would like I would want to
- 7:54Speaker 1: put an episode out all one day, but I wouldn't
- 7:56Speaker 1: be able to edit it in time, and then it
- 7:58Speaker 1: would do it was it was just a cycle. So
- 8:00Speaker 1: it was really great to be able to bring her on. UM.
- 8:03Speaker 1: And we have, you know, more folks on our team
- 8:05Speaker 1: that help us with our socials now and our newsletter
- 8:08Speaker 1: and so remember to subscribe to mesit those you can
- 8:11Speaker 1: subscribe on our website. UM. And yeah, so the team
- 8:13Speaker 1: is growing, and even though the team is growing, the
- 8:17Speaker 1: workload is also growing, and though we are still doing
- 8:21Speaker 1: a lot, even in different ways. And so yeah, we
- 8:25Speaker 1: like like we'll see, like we're gonna we're gonna revamp
- 8:28Speaker 1: season it's six. That feels wild to say, but season
- 8:33Speaker 1: six there will be some changes. We're already talking about it. UM.
- 8:37Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean we're we're almost like we're more
- 8:39Speaker 1: than halfway through one, which is intense, which is wild.
- 8:42Speaker 1: We're still in a pandemic, we're still dealing with all
- 8:45Speaker 1: the aftermath. There's a variant, you know, and so we're
- 8:49Speaker 1: we're doing the best that we can. I think we
- 8:50Speaker 1: all are and every everyone listening, we're doing the best
- 8:53Speaker 1: weekend and so just yeah, we're gonna keep it pushing.
- 8:55Speaker 1: We're gonna keep it pushing, um A, because we have
- 8:59Speaker 1: some pretty lofty goals. And mind you guys, we don't
- 9:02Speaker 1: share all of our hope streams, aspirations and schemes with
- 9:06Speaker 1: you all because like the mother oo is real. Um So,
- 9:12Speaker 1: we like to guard our secrets. We share them with
- 9:15Speaker 1: the right people, and then the right people help us
- 9:19Speaker 1: to like make them come to fruition, you know what
- 9:22Speaker 1: I mean. So just know there's more. There's always more,
- 9:26Speaker 1: and that's what we want, is we want to make
- 9:27Speaker 1: more podcasts. We want to do more. So while we're overwhelmed,
- 9:31Speaker 1: it's a good exciting kind of overwhelmed and you know
- 9:36Speaker 1: what's next and just pushing to that next level and
- 9:39Speaker 1: what's the next thing. So expect some announcements. Yeah, you know,
- 9:44Speaker 1: I think when you're juggling so many things, like you
- 9:47Speaker 1: have your days where you feel like really low and
- 9:49Speaker 1: really down, Like I know I've definitely had those in
- 9:52Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks where it's like, now, why
- 9:54Speaker 1: are things? Why is my life this busy, you know,
- 9:57Speaker 1: why am I still working my nine to five? And
- 9:58Speaker 1: then there's other days where it's things just roll and
- 10:00Speaker 1: it's seamless, and it's like, yeah, this is just my
- 10:02Speaker 1: life right now. Um. And so I think anyone that
- 10:05Speaker 1: is juggling tons of things, working multiple jobs, are going
- 10:09Speaker 1: to school or everything right because we're all busy people. Um,
- 10:12Speaker 1: we think anyone can relate that. You know, you have
- 10:15Speaker 1: your you find your rhythm and then you lose it
- 10:17Speaker 1: and then you find it again. Yeah, it's very true.
- 10:19Speaker 1: And I think like for me since because I quit
- 10:22Speaker 1: my job right before the pandemic, you know, and you know,
- 10:26Speaker 1: I've had my own streams of income, like I've been
- 10:28Speaker 1: on only fans, if you guys keep up that I've
- 10:32Speaker 1: returned to all the fans, and I've honestly like supporting
- 10:36Speaker 1: myself and paying my bills has come from doing like
- 10:39Speaker 1: my fun little odd jobs, whether it's only fans, freelance, writing,
- 10:44Speaker 1: influencer gigs, you know, different kind of speaking engagements. We
- 10:48Speaker 1: work with a team who helps us like bring us
- 10:51Speaker 1: gigs and stuff, um, and like sponsorships and collaborations. So
- 10:57Speaker 1: luckily and I have honestly, I have fewer expensive expenses.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Then then the assa you know what I mean. So
- 11:03Speaker 1: I can kind of live like a very low key,
- 11:05Speaker 1: little like cheap life over here while like working on
- 11:10Speaker 1: look at our productions, you know, while working on the podcast.
- 11:13Speaker 1: So that's just kind of why if anybody was wondering
- 11:17Speaker 1: why it is that we like have this arrangement, it's
- 11:22Speaker 1: just how it's worked out, you know. Um, because when
- 11:25Speaker 1: we do podcast gigs and when you guys donate that money,
- 11:29Speaker 1: we do not pay ourselves like off of the podcast.
- 11:32Speaker 1: We really don't. And the money goes quickly because we
- 11:35Speaker 1: have two weekly shows now and that means our expenses increased. Twofold,
- 11:42Speaker 1: we have two audio editors now yeah, we have two
- 11:45Speaker 1: audio editors now. Um luckily you know, Mola is still
- 11:49Speaker 1: she Mola is handling the socials for all of the marijuana,
- 11:53Speaker 1: but we do have someone handling the look socials because
- 11:55Speaker 1: it's a lot um. And so yeah, the like like
- 11:59Speaker 1: I said earlier, like sure, we're growing and we have
- 12:02Speaker 1: more people, but we also have more work. And like
- 12:05Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, Gideon Production Company, Okay, we literally asked
- 12:10Speaker 1: for this, We asked. Nobody forced us to do this. Um. Yeah,
- 12:18Speaker 1: and so, I mean it's an exciting place to be. Um,
- 12:21Speaker 1: I like always refer to this time as like the
- 12:24Speaker 1: growing pains and just like shout out to us because
- 12:27Speaker 1: like we made it past a hundred episodes where five
- 12:30Speaker 1: seasons deep, they say businesses either like fail in the
- 12:35Speaker 1: first two to three years. We're entering year five. You know,
- 12:39Speaker 1: we've been an informal business for about five years. We're
- 12:43Speaker 1: now like a formal business very and it's not it's
- 12:46Speaker 1: not under the table. It's just in the venmo is
- 12:48Speaker 1: what it is. It's it's just in the venmo. I mean,
- 12:53Speaker 1: in case anyone was wondering like the ins and outs
- 12:56Speaker 1: of it. It's like whenever we get a checkmate, we
- 12:59Speaker 1: will just te who was made to you. You can't
- 13:03Speaker 1: be doing that anymore. Our accountant was like, no more,
- 13:08Speaker 1: I gotta do the LLC. Yeah, a lot of people
- 13:11Speaker 1: you have kind of told us for a few years
- 13:13Speaker 1: now and we knew. But you know, it's a lot
- 13:16Speaker 1: of work. Anybody if you're on Twitter and you're on
- 13:19Speaker 1: Instagram and just just go to ll just do this. No,
- 13:23Speaker 1: it's not just no, it is very involved. It is
- 13:27Speaker 1: very complicated. It costs money, and it takes time. It
- 13:31Speaker 1: also depends where you live. Like we were chatting with
- 13:34Speaker 1: somebody that lives in upstate New York and she was like,
- 13:37Speaker 1: it's like I'm making a number up, but it was
- 13:39Speaker 1: really low. It was she was like, it's like eighty
- 13:41Speaker 1: dollars to do an lccene right in California. Any business
- 13:46Speaker 1: owners listening, you know, your your annual state tags that
- 13:50Speaker 1: you have to pay to the franchise board is eight
- 13:52Speaker 1: hundred dollars and then there's still other fees that you
- 13:55Speaker 1: have to pay. So don't listen to LLC Twitter y'all
- 13:58Speaker 1: like they don't know. It's not it's not just that simple.
- 14:00Speaker 1: It depends where you live as a lot of different factors. Yeah,
- 14:05Speaker 1: and we're dealing with audio, you know what I mean,
- 14:08Speaker 1: there's a lot. There's a lot that goes into this. Um,
- 14:11Speaker 1: it's not just we're not just sell okay, like it's
- 14:15Speaker 1: involved Okay, love, we love ours. We're not well, that's
- 14:19Speaker 1: not what we do. It's just not what we do.
- 14:21Speaker 1: So if you don't know, just listen and you might
- 14:24Speaker 1: learn something. So, um, you know, we just want to
- 14:30Speaker 1: give some updates on some things that we're working on
- 14:32Speaker 1: before we get into the garden. Of today's episode, we're
- 14:37Speaker 1: turning a segment that y'all love into a full fledged
- 14:39Speaker 1: episode because there's so much going on, and so we're

- 15:50Speaker 1: creator and host. It's a comedy podcast. You can tune
- 15:54Speaker 1: in anywhere you listen to podcasts. Leave us a review,
- 15:57Speaker 1: give us a rating, and you can also read my
- 15:59Speaker 1: interview with writer Ruby Mora in the Muhi Spa. I
- 16:03Speaker 1: talked to Ruby about Marijuanada, a podcast for potheads and
- 16:06Speaker 1: de stigmatizing cannabis in Latino communities. Go give it a read. Yes. Also,
- 16:12Speaker 1: can I just say, in my totally unbiased opinion, Marianada
- 16:16Speaker 1: podcaster Potheads is hilarious than funny. I listen weekly. I like,
- 16:23Speaker 1: was able to listen to the first episode before anyone else,
- 16:26Speaker 1: but now like I listen with y'all, I listened with
- 16:28Speaker 1: the listeners, so I'm tuning in weekly. It's hilarious. There's
- 16:32Speaker 1: a lot to look forward to with either the guests
- 16:35Speaker 1: or with Mala's musings. Y'all know how Mala is. You're
- 16:39Speaker 1: you're a listener on the podcast. You know she's just funny.
- 16:42Speaker 1: You know she's dope, you know she's smart. So tune in,
- 16:46Speaker 1: um and you know, just like, I'm here for the
- 16:49Speaker 1: destigmatizing in our communities. You know, my my mom for
- 16:53Speaker 1: a while was like sneaking like her cannabis used because
- 16:57Speaker 1: she didn't want my dad to know because she has
- 16:59Speaker 1: like ailments. And but she like finally told him and
- 17:02Speaker 1: she was like, what do you think about this? And
- 17:03Speaker 1: he was like it's fine. But for a while it
- 17:06Speaker 1: had to be like this little sneaky thing because she
- 17:08Speaker 1: didn't want him to get mad. And so yeah, so
- 17:10Speaker 1: like our people are older folks are are her hint,
- 17:14Speaker 1: there are family members. Um, they need cannabis for many
- 17:18Speaker 1: different reasons, or maybe they don't. Maybe it's just for
- 17:21Speaker 1: fun and that's cool too. So yeah, I'm here for that.
- 17:24Speaker 1: We'll link the article in the show notes and will
- 17:27Speaker 1: also send it out in our newsletter. Yes, yes, yes,
- 17:32Speaker 1: thank you Yosa. There's so much good stuff coming out
- 17:36Speaker 1: of the look At Multiverse Universe audio verse. We haven't
- 17:40Speaker 1: necessarily landed on which verse we are, yet we're one
- 17:45Speaker 1: of them, all of them, all over, all of them,
- 17:49Speaker 1: just interchangeable. We do contain multitudes, we really do, um
- 17:55Speaker 1: And I would like to point out that everything look
- 17:57Speaker 1: At though our productions touches is successible because look us
- 18:01Speaker 1: Botros was like a wild success of a book club before,
- 18:06Speaker 1: like the first book was like even announced. I want
- 18:09Speaker 1: to say, like thinking, yeah, we're like sixty plus members deep,
- 18:14Speaker 1: and you know that's exciting considering we're just on our
- 18:17Speaker 1: second book, and you know, maybe one day, like I
- 18:20Speaker 1: would love like, okay, well no, I don't want to
- 18:22Speaker 1: share too much, but one day I would love for
- 18:24Speaker 1: it to be sponsored by somebody in particular, right, I
- 18:27Speaker 1: would love for it to be a collaboration with like
- 18:30Speaker 1: a publishing house, right, Um, So we'll see And if
- 18:34Speaker 1: any folks that are working publishing are listening emails, like,
- 18:38Speaker 1: we can definitely talk about that because it's We've already
- 18:41Speaker 1: gotten multiple emails from different publicists that want to want
- 18:47Speaker 1: there they wanted on the book club. So you know,
- 18:49Speaker 1: there's tons of possibilities. And if you would like to
- 18:52Speaker 1: sponsor any of our many many projects over at look
- 18:55Speaker 1: at Thought our productions, email us. We're ala at look
- 18:58Speaker 1: at Thought our radio dot um We're down for a
- 19:01Speaker 1: collabor and and and and and and and and um
- 19:35Speaker 1: um um um um um of it and the ship.
- 19:49Speaker 1: And now I think it's time to get into not
- 19:53Speaker 1: only weird things white women did this week, but weird
- 19:56Speaker 1: things white people have been doing recently, namely with regard
- 20:00Speaker 1: it's to hygiene. Yes, so we wanted to take one
- 20:05Speaker 1: of y'all's favorite segments and turn it into a full
- 20:08Speaker 1: episode because you know, just let's start from the beginning.
- 20:13Speaker 1: A couple of years ago on the timeline on Twitter,
- 20:17Speaker 1: white people were talking, in particular white people. I'm not generalizing.
- 20:21Speaker 1: This was actually a thing that white Twitter users were
- 20:25Speaker 1: admitting that they did not wash their legs because, in
- 20:29Speaker 1: their words, the soap that you use on the rest
- 20:32Speaker 1: of your body washes down onto your legs when you're rinsing,
- 20:37Speaker 1: so you do not need to scrub, right, this is
- 20:40Speaker 1: this is a thing. If you were not familiar, haven't
- 20:43Speaker 1: heard of it, you can look that up. It's a thing.
- 20:46Speaker 1: So that happened a couple of years ago. Fast forward,
- 20:50Speaker 1: we're still in a pandemic. Hygiene is especially important right now,
- 20:55Speaker 1: and Mela Kunis and Ashton Coulture go onto a podcasts
- 21:00Speaker 1: and ship volunteer to your information that they do not
- 21:05Speaker 1: shower daily. So there's so many layers here. Because I
- 21:09Speaker 1: don't think that I don't know if we chimed in
- 21:12Speaker 1: on the initial like washing your legs conversation. I don't
- 21:17Speaker 1: think we remarked upon it on the point. We were
- 21:20Speaker 1: just you know, horrified. Yeah, but now it's enough of
- 21:25Speaker 1: a pattern. It's really just picking up speed. Honestly, Like
- 21:28Speaker 1: I feel like in the last two weeks, they just
- 21:31Speaker 1: boom boom, boom boom, more and more celebrities talking about
- 21:34Speaker 1: not bathing with the legs thing. Okay, you tell me,
- 21:38Speaker 1: because growing up, it was always a thing about like
- 21:42Speaker 1: fucking scrubbing the ship out of yourself, like vigorously your ankles,
- 21:50Speaker 1: your feet, your toes, your legs, and especially because I'm like, um,
- 21:54Speaker 1: I've been shaving my legs for years now, and you
- 21:57Speaker 1: have to like scrub and ex foliate like before and
- 22:01Speaker 1: then also after, like I don't under scrubbing my knees.
- 22:05Speaker 1: Especially like being an athletic kid running around outside with
- 22:10Speaker 1: my mom. It was always like we cannot be running
- 22:12Speaker 1: around sucking muro says with dirt caked on our legs.
- 22:17Speaker 1: So that sticks with you, Like we scrub we wear
- 22:20Speaker 1: sandals in California, we were shorts, Like our legs are exposed,
- 22:25Speaker 1: we have to scrub or else, Like you look dirty,
- 22:29Speaker 1: I think, right, or at least I was taught so
- 22:32Speaker 1: I never under I didn't understand the leg thing, because
- 22:35Speaker 1: how do you shave, how do you wear sandals? How
- 22:37Speaker 1: do you scrub the dirt off? No? I I second
- 22:41Speaker 1: that I remember, you know, being taught to vigorous, vigorously
- 22:46Speaker 1: scrub the different areas of your body, especially your toes,
- 22:49Speaker 1: your feet, your legs, um, all of it, all of it.
- 22:54Speaker 1: I mean, my my mother taught me my hygiene, right,
- 22:57Speaker 1: and so that was definitely one of them. And so
- 23:01Speaker 1: you know, fast forward to I think that now there's
- 23:05Speaker 1: a different conversation happening, or there's another layer of the
- 23:08Speaker 1: conversation happening that's not just about bathing, um, but it's
- 23:12Speaker 1: like who gets to be quote clean or who is
- 23:16Speaker 1: deemed cleaner in society? Right? Why is it that white
- 23:21Speaker 1: people can get away with saying they don't shower when
- 23:24Speaker 1: it's historically been black people, people of color, South Asian
- 23:28Speaker 1: people that are deemed as dirty or have to in
- 23:33Speaker 1: some ways overcompensate um and make sure that they're actually
- 23:37Speaker 1: they look extra clean or they smell really good, or
- 23:41Speaker 1: they you know, brush their teeth multiple times a day
- 23:43Speaker 1: because they don't want to have bed breath, like all
- 23:45Speaker 1: these things that were taught that's really important. Um, there
- 23:50Speaker 1: was a whole class missed by by said white people. Yeah,
- 23:56Speaker 1: and um, I'm remembering now. Remember we went to the
- 23:59Speaker 1: gym downtown and we were in the locker room downtown.
- 24:05Speaker 1: L A was a fitness and l A Fitness and
- 24:10Speaker 1: THEOS and I are there together because there was a
- 24:12Speaker 1: time where we would have podcast meetings and then like
- 24:14Speaker 1: go to the gym, Like we did that a few times.
- 24:16Speaker 1: That was cute. That was cute. Um uh. And so
- 24:20Speaker 1: we're there and there was a woman who was like
- 24:22Speaker 1: on the phone and talking to somebody and like, you know,
- 24:25Speaker 1: we're in the stalls or we're getting changed or whatever
- 24:28Speaker 1: we're doing, and we hear this over here, this woman
- 24:30Speaker 1: and she's on the phone and she's like, yeah, this
- 24:33Speaker 1: fath this gym is kind of dirty. There's like a
- 24:35Speaker 1: lot of Mexicans here, verbatim, like that's what she said,
- 24:43Speaker 1: wild wild, there's and I've heard this before. There's a
- 24:47Speaker 1: thing that people have about Mexicans and being dirty and
- 24:51Speaker 1: like Mexican kids, Mexican It's like it's like a type
- 24:56Speaker 1: of racist stereotype for a reason a lie, clearly, because
- 25:02Speaker 1: who was cleaning your house, bitch? Who do you literally
- 25:05Speaker 1: hired to clean up after you? Not just Mexicans, of course,
- 25:09Speaker 1: but anybody who is being stigmatized in this way right well,
- 25:13Speaker 1: and I mean and not even like, um, that's his
- 25:17Speaker 1: own layer of like every Latino being Mexican right in
- 25:20Speaker 1: the eyes of many people. Um, it doesn't there's no
- 25:23Speaker 1: need to specify, because everyone is Mexican in in certain
- 25:28Speaker 1: people's eyes. And yes, exactly. I mean I remember my
- 25:33Speaker 1: first experience, my first experience in undergrad when I lived
- 25:37Speaker 1: with a white woman for the first time, and like
- 25:40Speaker 1: really seeing the lack of hygiene up close, and I
- 25:45Speaker 1: was appalled, and it was kind of like a joke,
- 25:48Speaker 1: not for me, but like she thought it was so
- 25:50Speaker 1: funny that I was like appalled that she wouldn't shower
- 25:54Speaker 1: for days, and she was like she would ride her
- 25:57Speaker 1: skateboard around campus barefoot, and then she would come home
- 26:00Speaker 1: and I could see her fucking bs, you know, doll
- 26:06Speaker 1: the socials hanging from her bump bet you know. And meanwhile,
- 26:10Speaker 1: homegirl would tell me that I was quote ghetto, and
- 26:15Speaker 1: so yeah, and so first of all, based on what
- 26:19Speaker 1: based on my hoop ear rings, bitch, oh my god,
- 26:23Speaker 1: based on my hoop earrings, she would be like, she
- 26:25Speaker 1: would say that I was ghetto, you know. So yeah,
- 26:31Speaker 1: that's that was my first experience up close and personal.
- 26:34Speaker 1: The barefoot thing around campus is a lot, it is.
- 26:38Speaker 1: That's a lot. If you have ever been in Santa
- 26:41Speaker 1: Barbara intended you see Santa Barbara, if you partied in
- 26:44Speaker 1: Santa Barbara, you know that that is a thing. The
- 26:47Speaker 1: white people there are barefoot. I classed everywhere there barefoot.
- 26:55Speaker 1: I am afraid sometimes to wear flip flops outside, like
- 27:00Speaker 1: depending on where I'm going, I won't even wear chunk
- 27:03Speaker 1: glass because that's not enough, you know. So I don't understand.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Aren't they afraid of glass? Of injuring the underside of
- 27:13Speaker 1: their foot? An injury on the sole of your foot
- 27:16Speaker 1: is really inconvenient. That's like enough to take you out
- 27:20Speaker 1: for a while, like if you get if you injure
- 27:23Speaker 1: the bottom of your foot, I don't know, I don't know,
- 27:26Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I
- 27:28Speaker 1: don't know, but but I mean, okay, so along, So
- 27:31Speaker 1: going back to me, Lacunas and Ashton Kulder, right, they
- 27:33Speaker 1: also shared, and this is where Mom and I were like,
- 27:36Speaker 1: we actually need to talk about this on the podcast,
- 27:38Speaker 1: for I mean, aside from it being like kind of
- 27:40Speaker 1: funny and kind of like what the funk are y'all doing?
- 27:46Speaker 1: But it does take an interesting turn here where Lacunas
- 27:50Speaker 1: and Ashtion could just say that they also don't bathe
- 27:53Speaker 1: their children um daily because supposedly it's like bad for
- 27:58Speaker 1: their skin or it's a lot too bath children daily.
- 28:02Speaker 1: So I don't necessarily know how true that is because
- 28:04Speaker 1: I do not have children, right. However, however, I would
- 28:09Speaker 1: imagine I remember being bathed daily often as a child, um.
- 28:17Speaker 1: But something that I was thinking about when I read
- 28:20Speaker 1: this was like, wait, children get taken away from their
- 28:23Speaker 1: parents for a lot less, you know, for and so
- 28:27Speaker 1: bathing and hygiene is like a really important part of parenting,
- 28:31Speaker 1: I would imagine, and I know that when I was
- 28:33Speaker 1: working as an organizer there, that was that was the
- 28:37Speaker 1: thing that would happen to two mothers where their kids
- 28:40Speaker 1: would their principles would call them because their their kids
- 28:43Speaker 1: were supposedly quote dirty, but it's like, oh, actually they
- 28:46Speaker 1: didn't have laundry detergent. They couldn't afford to buy laundry detergreent,
- 28:50Speaker 1: so their clothes was dirty, but they were showering, but
- 28:53Speaker 1: the clothes was dirty. And so there's like these red
- 28:57Speaker 1: flags that are raised by certain like school admitted straighters.
- 29:01Speaker 1: But these celebrities are going on a podcast and saying
- 29:03Speaker 1: they don't feed their kids daily, but that's okay, that's fine, yeah,
- 29:07Speaker 1: and this is like this is like so there's so
- 29:10Speaker 1: many layers, right because like cleanliness and hygiene, um, the
- 29:15Speaker 1: way that it's the standards are held for different people,
- 29:19Speaker 1: like even like I think women are expected to be
- 29:22Speaker 1: way cleaner than men, Like I don't think men are
- 29:24Speaker 1: expected to be clean. And I think that there's tonss
- 29:29Speaker 1: of conversation and evidence online of men talking about they
- 29:35Speaker 1: don't know how to wipe themselves after they take a ship,
- 29:38Speaker 1: like they don't do it they or they don't know how,
- 29:40Speaker 1: or they don't want to or they don't like to
- 29:42Speaker 1: because there's some weird homophobic thing that they have going
- 29:45Speaker 1: on where they will not wipe themselves, like they talk
- 29:48Speaker 1: about this openly, and then women are like, um, found
- 29:52Speaker 1: out my fiance doesn't wipe his ass. I tried to
- 29:56Speaker 1: get him to do it. He never this on Twitter.
- 30:00Speaker 1: My god, I remember this conversation and there's so many
- 30:03Speaker 1: of them, and that's just one of them. So it's like,
- 30:06Speaker 1: who's who can get away with being just filthy and
- 30:11Speaker 1: like literally just caked in their own feces, like walking
- 30:17Speaker 1: I saw on TikTok also just going on about like
- 30:20Speaker 1: just this is just stuff we're seeing online or whatever.
- 30:22Speaker 1: You know. On TikTok, there's this one account um and
- 30:26Speaker 1: she's a wax specialist and she on video she shows
- 30:31Speaker 1: herself melting like the wax pellets and mixing the waxes
- 30:35Speaker 1: and she's telling stories just the audio, and she was
- 30:39Speaker 1: saying she has had like tons of experiences with customers
- 30:44Speaker 1: who are like regular customers who go in for Brazilians
- 30:49Speaker 1: and they're not clean, they haven't showered, they've like gone
- 30:52Speaker 1: number two earlier. It's just caked. It's disgusting. She's like,
- 30:56Speaker 1: I've had to like have them wipe themselves down. I've
- 30:59Speaker 1: had who wax around it. And she was like, I
- 31:02Speaker 1: have one customer who's a regular and she always shows
- 31:05Speaker 1: up like this. First of all, I am so when
- 31:10Speaker 1: I get a Brazilian, I'm so self conscious. I like
- 31:14Speaker 1: I like plan my my meals and my schedules and
- 31:17Speaker 1: my cleaning and my shower and my undy's and everything
- 31:19Speaker 1: is on point. I'm ready. It's like it's more stressful
- 31:24Speaker 1: for me than like having sex with someone like I am.
- 31:28Speaker 1: It's true like your spread eagle talking about going on brunch,
- 31:33Speaker 1: like you're talking about like very casual things while you're
- 31:36Speaker 1: spread eagle, and I will plan for yes, I will
- 31:41Speaker 1: plan my workouts around it because I'm like, wait, okay,
- 31:45Speaker 1: I can't go and work out closed because she's gonna
- 31:47Speaker 1: be like, Okay, this pistol said, didn't shower before, so
- 31:51Speaker 1: I won't do that. But also you can't shower, I mean,
- 31:54Speaker 1: you can't work out after you've been waxed because it's
- 31:58Speaker 1: like not good for your skin, and like there's there's
- 32:00Speaker 1: things right they tell you don't work out for twenty
- 32:02Speaker 1: four hours. So I'm very strategic and timing out like
- 32:05Speaker 1: if I'm going to be active that day, um, and
- 32:08Speaker 1: making sure that I look clean and I showered and
- 32:10Speaker 1: then the whole thing because I want to be like
- 32:12Speaker 1: presentable because this woman is going to be all up
- 32:15Speaker 1: in me. Literally literally I'm appalled, I know, but it
- 32:21Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me. No, I'm not surprised. And I used
- 32:24Speaker 1: to get waxed at the European Wax Center in Pasadena,
- 32:27Speaker 1: and like one of those wax technicians, I remember she
- 32:30Speaker 1: was telling me like in person, she's like, yeah, some
- 32:34Speaker 1: of these women in Pasadena come over here and they
- 32:37Speaker 1: are not clean, Like they don't seem prepared for someone
- 32:41Speaker 1: to be waxing their their business at all. Yeah. Yeah, girl,
- 32:46Speaker 1: it's the thing. And I want to be clear to
- 32:48Speaker 1: like there's also a lot of conversations and like even
- 32:52Speaker 1: like theory and sociology and writing and stuff out there
- 32:56Speaker 1: about like cleanliness and body hair and body odor and
- 32:59Speaker 1: like even like racism like in these in these ways,
- 33:02Speaker 1: like in different ways, and you know, there's so many
- 33:05Speaker 1: things that go into hygiene, like when folks like have
- 33:09Speaker 1: disorders or they have skin issues or gland issues, like
- 33:13Speaker 1: people have like different sense and different smells, and people
- 33:17Speaker 1: are the way that they are. So we're not here
- 33:19Speaker 1: to like no, no, not body shaming. And you know,
- 33:22Speaker 1: sometimes mental illness can affect hygiene and cleanliness, but it's
- 33:26Speaker 1: this this is more like people who are just like
- 33:29Speaker 1: oh no, I just I don't wash. I just don't
- 33:32Speaker 1: because I don't think that I need to and I
- 33:34Speaker 1: don't think that it's important at all or a necessity,
- 33:38Speaker 1: which is wrong. Yes, and obviously we don't know like
- 33:42Speaker 1: the mental health of these people, but these are very
- 33:44Speaker 1: affluent people, very that are saying they don't like to
- 33:47Speaker 1: bathe daily. Right, This isn't somebody because you know, I know, folks,
- 33:52Speaker 1: I've also read, you know, on on the internet people
- 33:55Speaker 1: talk about being depressed or having a bipolar disorder and
- 34:00Speaker 1: they don't They don't shower for days because they literally
- 34:02Speaker 1: cannot get out of it. Again, like Molas said, that's
- 34:05Speaker 1: definitely not what we're talking about. Um, we're talking about
- 34:09Speaker 1: the people that choose not to because they don't think
- 34:12Speaker 1: it's important, or they don't want to, or they don't
- 34:15Speaker 1: like to, Like you know, a couple of days later,
- 34:19Speaker 1: Jake Jillen Hall was like, I don't shower. Everything not shape,
- 34:24Speaker 1: not info. Um, but I'm happy to report that Chris
- 34:32Speaker 1: Evans says that he does a shower. Because now this
- 34:35Speaker 1: is a thing like they're skiing, they're asking people what
- 34:39Speaker 1: they think about this and if they shower daily, And
- 34:42Speaker 1: I'm like, this is okay, what what like alternate universe,
- 34:45Speaker 1: like where are we on the simulation where we're now
- 34:48Speaker 1: asking celebrities if they shower daily, And let me just
- 34:52Speaker 1: say too, if I'm a celebrity and I'm going to
- 34:55Speaker 1: be around all kinds of people who are going to
- 34:57Speaker 1: be talking about me, taking pictures of me, to eating
- 35:00Speaker 1: about me, probably you know, going home and hey, I
- 35:04Speaker 1: interviewed so and so today where I met so and so,
- 35:07Speaker 1: people talk about everything. She had weird toes. Her manicure
- 35:12Speaker 1: was chipping, she smelled weird. You know, like I would
- 35:14Speaker 1: be if I was at that status where I know
- 35:17Speaker 1: there's the scrutiny and people are so likely on you.
- 35:21Speaker 1: I think, I don't know, I think I would be
- 35:24Speaker 1: even more like self conscious about everything, right, yeah, yeah,
- 35:29Speaker 1: I mean as it is. There was like, um, maybe
- 35:32Speaker 1: like two or three years ago where I like I
- 35:34Speaker 1: hadn't gone to the dentist because of my insurance. Um,
- 35:37Speaker 1: I was having issues with my insurance, and so when
- 35:39Speaker 1: I went, I like knew, like I need dental work,
- 35:42Speaker 1: I need a real canal, I need this, I need
- 35:43Speaker 1: my wisdom teeth pulled out. And I remember telling my mom.
- 35:47Speaker 1: I was like, Mom, I like, I am horrified that
- 35:51Speaker 1: a listener were to like meet me and be like
- 35:54Speaker 1: Fiosa has some bed breath, like literally that was like
- 35:57Speaker 1: a thing for me and I'm not sure I'm not
- 36:00Speaker 1: and hostatus that boco like that because we meet people regularly,
- 36:06Speaker 1: um and in our daily lives, like we'll be at
- 36:08Speaker 1: the medico and a listener will find us r or
- 36:11Speaker 1: see us and say hi, I feel self conscious and
- 36:15Speaker 1: would I wouldn't ever want to be like I have
- 36:18Speaker 1: bad breath that day, or I hadn't showered that day,
- 36:21Speaker 1: and I felt like, you know, not as cute. And
- 36:24Speaker 1: there are these things I think about, like I want
- 36:27Speaker 1: to feel like any time I leave my house, I
- 36:30Speaker 1: I brush my teeth before I go, like it's for me.
- 36:32Speaker 1: It makes me feel better aside from like smelling better
- 36:36Speaker 1: or best or whatever have you, like I also feel better.
- 36:40Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I feel way better after a shower and
- 36:45Speaker 1: everything is scrubbed head to toe. And you know, of course,
- 36:48Speaker 1: like many of us do not wash our hair every day,
- 36:51Speaker 1: like I don't wash my hair every day, especially if
- 36:53Speaker 1: we have like big hair, long hair, textured hair, what
- 36:57Speaker 1: have you. That's like ill advit eyes. But but you know,
- 37:01Speaker 1: so we but we will go work out, will run
- 37:05Speaker 1: or skate and then go run errands. I've I've been
- 37:08Speaker 1: at my local Dollar Tree sean glue that like I
- 37:12Speaker 1: like to be. You know, when I'm off and I'm
- 37:15Speaker 1: walking my dog and I'm just in. If I walk
- 37:18Speaker 1: to the Dollar Tree for like some toilet paper or
- 37:21Speaker 1: for some supplies or whatever, I'm getting some dog food.
- 37:24Speaker 1: I'm in my slides and I'm kash And I've had
- 37:28Speaker 1: people at the Dollar Tree be like, Mama, is that you?
- 37:31Speaker 1: And I'm like, dear God, why because don't let don't
- 37:36Speaker 1: let the press features full you, don't let the good
- 37:38Speaker 1: reviews full you. I live in a studio apartment about
- 37:43Speaker 1: my grandma Natchez garage, honey, and we still live paycheck
- 37:47Speaker 1: to paycheck, my dear, So we do what we can
- 37:49Speaker 1: and we're living our regular as like l a girl lives.
- 37:54Speaker 1: You know what I mean. Don't come for me, how
- 37:56Speaker 1: if you see me happen about Yes, looking a little dingy,
- 38:02Speaker 1: hit the venmo at, look radio and donate yes, yes,
- 38:11Speaker 1: um so yeah, that's where we'll get there. That's yeah,
- 38:15Speaker 1: we'll get there. That's where we're at. On the simulation,
- 38:18Speaker 1: you know, where media press is asking people, specifically white people,
- 38:22Speaker 1: I assume if they bathe. My favorite was the Rock
- 38:26Speaker 1: being like I showered twice a day, like and he
- 38:30Speaker 1: has like his different regiments for each shower. I also
- 38:33Speaker 1: shower twice a day, even pre pandemic, because it is
- 38:40Speaker 1: what it is. It's it's what makes me feel better. Um.
- 38:43Speaker 1: And look as former student athletes and now as adults
- 38:48Speaker 1: who still engage in athletics, like if we had a
- 38:53Speaker 1: two a day practice for across country, if we had
- 38:55Speaker 1: a six am practice, we showered after that practice, went
- 38:59Speaker 1: to class, had an afternoon practice, and then showered again
- 39:03Speaker 1: after that practice. And these days, if we're out and
- 39:06Speaker 1: about and we're exercising or doing things, I just think,
- 39:10Speaker 1: shower after everything. Yes, I'm gonna go out that night,
- 39:14Speaker 1: I shower off the day before going out. Yeah, even
- 39:19Speaker 1: like coming home at two am, I take a shower
- 39:22Speaker 1: before I go to I have to be like extremely
- 39:26Speaker 1: messed up, yeah, to blacked out, which doesn't happen often.
- 39:32Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not there anymore, but like I have to.
- 39:35Speaker 1: It'll be l and I'll be taking a shower before
- 39:38Speaker 1: bed because it just you're to me, like your bed
- 39:42Speaker 1: is like you know, if you're you're lucky to have
- 39:44Speaker 1: you not share a bed with anybody or even if
- 39:46Speaker 1: you do, um you know, be able to be in
- 39:49Speaker 1: your sheets, then I feel like clean and safe and
- 39:52Speaker 1: good like to me, that's that's like one of the
- 39:55Speaker 1: best feelings and so I value that and I want
- 39:59Speaker 1: to take a shower before are gett into my very
- 40:00Speaker 1: comfortable bed. I know we're going to get some comments
- 40:06Speaker 1: or something about well, in the gumbo, you can't shower
- 40:09Speaker 1: like that. All that time. People in the compo are
- 40:12Speaker 1: still very fushy, very clean, still very clucking clean, and
- 40:16Speaker 1: find ways it doesn't need to be you know, us
- 40:22Speaker 1: thirty minutes scalding hot showers with vocal nobody has time
- 40:27Speaker 1: for that. With bath bombs and a rans dear a
- 40:31Speaker 1: rans you know, a quick scrub, yeah, I mean also lather.
- 40:36Speaker 1: I live with my family, as many of you know,
- 40:39Speaker 1: if you're a long time listener, I do not take
- 40:41Speaker 1: baths because for me, like if I'm going to take
- 40:44Speaker 1: a bath, I need to scrub the tub before there's
- 40:47Speaker 1: there's three people that use the shower and so I'm
- 40:50Speaker 1: not taking a bath. I'm vocal because everybody does there
- 40:53Speaker 1: what they need to do in the shower. If I
- 40:55Speaker 1: had my own bathroom, and you know I had was
- 40:58Speaker 1: the only one that had access to it. That that's different.
- 41:02Speaker 1: Um So that boco. You know, but we get it.
- 41:06Speaker 1: We know, you guys different things, people have access to
- 41:13Speaker 1: different things, and you know, what works for you works
- 41:15Speaker 1: for you. Again, we're talking about white people that want
- 41:19Speaker 1: to be nasty for no reason. Um. Also in a pandemic,
- 41:26Speaker 1: and there's like a very coded, long history of who
- 41:32Speaker 1: is considered clean read white, and who's considered dirty read
- 41:39Speaker 1: black people, people of color, Mexicans, like immigrants, people Asian people.
- 41:46Speaker 1: You know, it's also like partly why maybe for something,
- 41:50Speaker 1: maybe some people overcompensate or or the cleanliness is very
- 41:55Speaker 1: important to them because they've been taught by their families,
- 41:59Speaker 1: because they've ex arienced it. You have to be on point,
- 42:04Speaker 1: you know, you have to quote smell clean or smell
- 42:07Speaker 1: a certain way or look a certain way. It's it's
- 42:10Speaker 1: a part of how we navigate in this world. Yeah,
- 42:14Speaker 1: it's very true. It's very true. And you know, of course,
- 42:16Speaker 1: like all things, we speak about these things having had
- 42:20Speaker 1: our own experiences and having learned these things ourselves in
- 42:23Speaker 1: our households, not as like sociologists talking about this like
- 42:28Speaker 1: you know, because like like as if it has nothing
- 42:31Speaker 1: to do with us, but it has lots to do
- 42:32Speaker 1: with us, right, which is why we're talking about it.
- 42:35Speaker 1: So um, I mean that being said, I also encourage
- 42:39Speaker 1: you guys to start looking into content having to do
- 42:44Speaker 1: with like the monarchies back in the day and how
- 42:47Speaker 1: the palaces were filthy places like filled with human waste
- 42:53Speaker 1: because they had no plan, right. That was that was
- 42:57Speaker 1: like one of my favorite comments or feedback when the
- 43:00Speaker 1: Bridgetin series came out. Someone was like nobody was smelling
- 43:05Speaker 1: that good, Like nobody was looking that good either during
- 43:09Speaker 1: those times, Like it just doesn't make sense all the
- 43:12Speaker 1: layers of clothing they had to wear. Yeah, no, they
- 43:16Speaker 1: were smelly. They were definitely really really smelly. So I
- 43:21Speaker 1: don't know, I just have to think there's some residual stuff.
- 43:24Speaker 1: Growing up my dad, my dad said so many things
- 43:27Speaker 1: to us growing up that now I think, I'm like,
- 43:29Speaker 1: dear God, this man. But like one of the things
- 43:32Speaker 1: that he would say to us was that like white
- 43:35Speaker 1: people historically are dirty, and that native people's and that
- 43:40Speaker 1: African people's indigenous people's basically taught hygiene, or that European
- 43:46Speaker 1: colonizers learned hygiene and waste management and waste disposal and
- 43:52Speaker 1: sewage and internal plumbing from native communities that is actually
- 43:58Speaker 1: historically accurate, Like it's not wrong. The crazy. The crazy
- 44:04Speaker 1: thing he said to us was that if he has
- 44:06Speaker 1: any Spanish blood in his body, he would push it
- 44:09Speaker 1: to the tip of his pinky finger and then chop
- 44:11Speaker 1: it off. That's the crazy thing he said, not not
- 44:14Speaker 1: the hygiene thing. That's true. But then he said the
- 44:17Speaker 1: pinky thing, and I was like, Dad, yes, this is
- 44:25Speaker 1: how I was raised. Okay, so yeah, I mean, I'm curious.
- 44:30Speaker 1: I would love to hear folks thoughts on like their
- 44:33Speaker 1: own experience with hygiene and like how they were brought up. Um,
- 44:38Speaker 1: because I think we are there. There's I'm sure a
- 44:41Speaker 1: shared experience for our community, but I'm also positive that
- 44:46Speaker 1: people have their own either doing things a certain way
- 44:49Speaker 1: or not doing things a certain way. So I would
- 44:51Speaker 1: love to hear what folks have to say about that. Absolutely.
- 44:55Speaker 1: And again, if you have ideas for topics and things
- 44:58Speaker 1: you want us to cover, if you've notice a trend
- 45:01Speaker 1: or some weird little happenings online or in the world,
- 45:04Speaker 1: maybe we can comment. We're always looking for different things
- 45:07Speaker 1: to talk about. On look at. Um, we don't have
- 45:10Speaker 1: an interview this episode. We're just chatting, you know, And
- 45:15Speaker 1: I love these episodes. I love our interviews, of course,
- 45:17Speaker 1: because our guests are amazing, but when we get to
- 45:20Speaker 1: just dig into like an a topic like this, it's fun.
- 45:23Speaker 1: It's fun. It's fun, and we like to you know,
- 45:25Speaker 1: be able to balance it out. I think the last
- 45:28Speaker 1: couple of episodes have been interview heavy, So yeah, it's
- 45:31Speaker 1: always fun to come back to like what we do
- 45:33Speaker 1: and dive into something comedically also have like a serious
- 45:38Speaker 1: take on it. I think that that's where we thrive.
- 45:41Speaker 1: And so yeah, thanks for tuning into this Weird Things
- 45:44Speaker 1: the White People did episode. Thank you very very much,
