It's their one-on-one with the 73 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,240 manager. So how you know they was crying? 74 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,760 They told me about it. These are like white girls. 75 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,480 Everyone I work with is not white, but I am the only black 76 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,880 man so I'll let you do the information what you will I. 77 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,520 Mean that's not an answer. That is an answer. 78 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,840 I feel like that gives you a very. 79 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,760 No, like a good answer be a yes or no. 80 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,160 So are you, are you not going to say yes or no to my question? 81 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,800 Of the two of the people who I know for sure know they were not 82 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,400 white. OK. 83 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,600 Yeah. Oh, wait, maybe. 84 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,000 No, no, she wasn't white either. Not, not American. 85 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,560 White. What the What's American White? 86 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,080 Like they like they identify as white from America. 87 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,760 DeMarcus, let's not be xenophobic. 88 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,080 White is white like I. Don't. 89 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,720 How's that being xenophobic? Because you're, you're 90 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,200 classifying people by their country and by their race. 91 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,800 So it's like something else. I'm not asking about their 92 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,520 country. I I know that. 93 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,040 You're asking what their skin looks like. 94 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,000 I know that they're probably not America because America is a 95 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,080 melting pot. Everybody's from somewhere else, 96 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,640 especially if you're white, because they're the original 97 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:19,360 colonizers. So it's probably it's, it's so 98 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,280 more than 9 times out of 10, they're not from America. 99 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,080 You're breaking up, You're breaking up. 100 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,440 So I, I don't I I I don't get why you would say that. 101 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,560 Like does that make them any less of a white person? 102 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:40,160 They still can't say the N word. I don't. 103 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,360 I don't think there is a a a, I don't think there is a a a 104 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,080 lessened level of whiteness. You can have to say the N word, 105 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,600 that is. I think that's more about being 106 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,120 black than it is about not being white. 107 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,040 OK, but you classified them as American whites, which means 108 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,320 nothing. I didn't say they were American 109 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,080 whites. I said they are not OK, I said 110 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,520 they do. As a matter of fact, I said they 111 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,040 do not identify themselves as American whites. 112 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,160 Whereas. Oh man, no. 113 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,160 No. No, no I don't. 114 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,640 Care 1 is like you're why? Where? 115 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,720 Where were they born? I think they were all born in 116 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,360 America. I don't know. 117 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,320 So how are they? They not American. 118 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,800 I said they're not American white. 119 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,840 How, how, how, how they were born here. 120 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,720 And I said and I said they do not identify themselves as. 121 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,360 Oh my God, do you work with fools and idiots? 122 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,160 How are they not American if they were born here in? 123 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,920 America, I did not say they did not identify as American. 124 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,600 I said they did not identify as American whites. 125 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,120 What does that mean, DeMarcus? They don't feel like they they 126 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,720 don't relate to George Washington. 127 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,960 I guess I don't fucking know. I'm not. 128 00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:01,720 Like they never relate to George Washington. 129 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,520 George Washington? I'm a black American. 130 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,440 Don't you talk to these? People, Monday through Friday, 131 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,480 8:00 to 5:00, George Washington. Came hang up. 132 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,000 No, George Washington came from Europe. 133 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,960 They came from Europe. They're more like George 134 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,000 Washington than anybody else here. 135 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,680 Bro I just said I do not know. I made a guess. 136 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,920 My guess was not satisfactory. I don't care. 137 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,120 No. 'Cause I'm a black American, no. 138 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,000 Period. Your guess it it wasn't about 139 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,520 being satisfactory or not satisfactory enough. 140 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,760 It was about you not explaining it. 141 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,039 I would have confused and I have questions. 142 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:45,280 I'm confused. Well then, go ask them. 143 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,800 Go finally. Why would I? 144 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,400 Ask them when I'm asking you you because. 145 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,560 I don't know, Jared. Who are you getting mad at? 146 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,240 I'm. I'm not mad, but you ain't. 147 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,720 Yelling at me.

Daggerheart maybe? 159 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,640 Maybe Daggerheart. I got to see if the group wants 160 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,080 to cause our regular meeting was last Thursday, but yeah. 161 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,880 So y'all don't have scheduled meetings? 162 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,800 We do, I said our regular meeting was last Thursday but I 163 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,640 wasn't here so also. Wait, aren't you the DM? 164 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,000 Yeah, so we didn't play 'cause I wasn't there. 165 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:19,440 OK, OK, OK, so Daggerheart pool. You. 166 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,040 Said yesterday that you were going to see a movie. 167 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,680 I said I might see a movie. Which one? 168 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,160 I didn't go see a movie. I downloaded Pokémon instead. 169 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,960 Red. Fire red. 170 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:31,680 Yes, Sir. Yeah. 171 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,760 And I chose Charmander as my starter. 172 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,480 Really. I was really torn. 173 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,000 I was really torn between Squirrel and Charmander 'cause 174 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,200 sometimes like when it's I I never had growing up, I never 175 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,840 had red or blue version. I had yellow. 176 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,360 So I started with Pikachu. So it was, you know, not none of 177 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,080 the all of that was neither here nor there for me having to 178 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,480 choose between those 3 and I but I think I think the first time I 179 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,760 had fire red, I chose Squirtle and this time I chose 180 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,040 Charmander. So I'm. 181 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,920 I'm always the Bulbasaur. I played through that game 182 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,720 multiple times. I have multiple says but I've 183 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,840 always did bubble sore. I mean sometimes I play through 184 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,360 with Charmander but my main one was bubble sore. 185 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,040 I bubble sore was the one I was like, I definitely don't want a 186 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,920 bubble sore so. Why? 187 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,360 And this is he just always felt like the weakest 1. 188 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:42,040 The Mic is the first gym. Battle is a water gym. 189 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,160 No, the first. In there. 190 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,080 OK same thing. You're walking in there with a 191 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,560 fire type Pokémon? How is the weakest 1? 192 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,400 It's it's it's it is the best choice for the first two gym. 193 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,280 Sure it is the IT is a smart choice. 194 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,040 Now, I won't say the best. It is a smart choice for the 195 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,400 beginning of the game. If you're thinking about getting 196 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,440 past the first two gems, OK, I will not argue with that. 197 00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:17,040 OK. So I do not think the in the 198 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,240 long game I've never felt threatened by a Venusaur. 199 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,120 OK, well you I think played with Razor Leaf. 200 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,280 Razor, I think by and large. Most powerful attack in the game 201 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:35,160 that you get especially early on what you doing? 202 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,600 I'm looking something up. Now, Razor Leaf is the best 203 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,480 attack in the whole game. You can't go wrong with Rice 204 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,680 Leaf, especially at the beginning. 205 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:51,800 And Rice Leaf comes in very, very soon, like UTM out of all 206 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,360 those other abilities. Is that for Razor Leaf? 207 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,400 And then we get some beam, it's over. 208 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,080 Sorry, nobody worried about the damn Sunbeam and if. 209 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:08,160 I worry about no firewheel you. Mean flamethrower. 210 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,920 I think flamethrower is the equivalent of Sunbeam but the 211 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,040 the weakest Pokémon typing is ice but the next one up is grass 212 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,720 so. The weakest Pokémon type. 213 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:33,840 Yeah. What, what what the weakest 214 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,880 Pokémon typeface on who? Yeah, this is this is Reddit. 215 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,680 Reddit and. Get off the Internet please. 216 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,040 It's here because that's I hate how you say the weakest Pokémon 217 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,040 tight when it's all balanced like you say the weakest talking 218 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,560 about tight. I don't think so. 219 00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:55,600 I I think it's definitely not balanced because sometimes have 220 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,320 like a lot more weaknesses than others. 221 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,040 I wasn't like talking. I will say Grant, I didn't learn 222 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,920 this until like I was playing like Pokémon and maybe like I 223 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,920 wasn't bold. Oh, my bad. 224 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,160 Go ahead then. You say the weakest Pokémon type 225 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,880 is ice. The weakest thing in D&D is 226 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,840 magic users. I never said that is. 227 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,600 When all of this stuff is balanced to contradict each. 228 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,120 Other I never said that the weakest classes are are the 229 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,520 magic classes in D and DI just don't play them often. 230 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,480 And I thought you said they were weak and I don't like them. 231 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,520 OK. You said they were weak and 232 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,240 they're bad for beginners. I, I did not say they were weak. 233 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,560 I did say that they are a they are not the best choice for 234 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,680 beginners. I don't remember. 235 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,840 Maybe I said bad and I I could I'll I'll I'll I'll allow that. 236 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,880 I said it's a bad choice for beginners because are they're 237 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,720 complex. I mean, I started with a magic 238 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,480 user. I think for a certain type of 239 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,800 person to a spell Class, A spell casting class is a great idea 240 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:14,120 for a certain type of person. Do you think I'm that person? 241 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,920 I mean the history shows us that you are that certain type of 242 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,440 person that chose a magic class. Like with the your first your 243 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,720 first time playing, your first time playing DND chose spell 244 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,720 casting class. How was it for you? 245 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,440 Was it fun? Easy. 246 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,160 Oh, it was fun. But like I I, I just, it seems 247 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,680 like people who don't respect the spell casters, they just 248 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:45,840 don't like to read. It seems that reading trips them 249 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:52,280 up with spell casters. They aren't thorough in their 250 00:15:52,280 --> 00:16:00,800 reading comprehension schools. But yes, Pokémon, you chose char 251 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,640 and then like you know, you can always build out your party like 252 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,320 what was about the only thing that's going to be in your 253 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,800 party? No, it's not, but a lot of times 254 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,240 your starters like your main, right? 255 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,160 Yeah. I mean, there's always what was 256 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,280 or you always got to be at a piggy, you know? 257 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,640 Yeah, definitely call me a piggy, definitely call it a 258 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,080 ratatat. But I I feel like I catch 259 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,720 ratatat just for like completion. 260 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,960 I don't really plan to use ratatat after like getting 261 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,800 through the Veridian Forest. Yeah, where you? 262 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,600 Get and then like I I think I catch my rat. 263 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,920 Usually I catch my ratatat. I make it evolve into eradicate. 264 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,560 I think that's like at level 16. And then I'm like, all right, 265 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,800 into the box you go, because I'm not fucking with you. 266 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:55,880 Like now since they got the 150 core they are all the way up to 267 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,280 like 1000 now. I would still want to play like 268 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,600 I want to play the new one, but I still want my Bobasaur, my PG, 269 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,119 my MU too I. Feel like I feel like my like my 270 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,079 life starting team changes with the generation because it 271 00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:19,720 definitely was, you know, like PG who else? 272 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,359 Like a a good little mankey. That was I used to always I love 273 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,880 to have a mankey on the team. That's what I would. 274 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,200 That's what I get for the the rock gym and then I have a 275 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,120 Pikachu for the water gym coming next. 276 00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,480 So.

Stuff these are these are both 318 00:20:30,580 --> 00:20:34,260 these Pokémon are from like the original 151 and then the Joto. 319 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,560 I just thought it once from the song Chad. 320 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,760 I don't know these new. Songs. 321 00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,720 Only the ones from the song. There was a Pokémon song for 322 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,400 JoJo. That must have been when it 323 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,200 moved to Cartoon Network on Netflix. 324 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,240 I do not know that. OK, well, I'll let you think of 325 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,560 that. I might ask you that at the end, 326 00:20:53,640 --> 00:21:00,600 but now's the town where we do our But You Are segment. 327 00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:07,280 So this segment is sponsored by our good pals at Movie Pass 328 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,320 DeMarcus, can you please tell them about MoviePass Silver 329 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:19,240 Plates? Yeah, man, Movie Pass is a 330 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:25,760 subscription based service and it is meant to make movie going 331 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,800 cheaper and more affordable and more accessible for the average 332 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,400 person. And the way it does that is that 333 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,240 it allows you to purchase a subscription where you will 334 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,640 receive a certain number of points per month. 335 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,800 And you can use those points to purchase your movie tickets. 336 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,400 And you know, for starting as low as like $10 you can get I 337 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,880 think what like 30 or so points, 34 points per month. 338 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:03,120 And you can, you split those points up so you see as much 2 339 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:05,680 to 3 movies a month. I'll say it's got to be I'll, 340 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,240 I'll keep it conservative. 2 to 3 movies. 341 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,520 It's. Got to be 300 because a movie is 342 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,880 like. Eight points. 343 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,920 Yeah, no movies like 30 points, right? 344 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,360 I think it's when you go see it. I think if you see it like pre 345 00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:26,680 opening night, your first person in the theater type shit, then 346 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,280 yeah, it is like 30 points. And actually, you know, I 347 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,520 haven't, I haven't checked out this math in a while 'cause I 348 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,320 know this. This math is when I went with 349 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,400 like when I very first started MoviePass like a while ago like 350 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,360 when it came back, but I'm not sure that math checks out. 351 00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:45,200 Y'all go go go check out MoviePass check out the how many 352 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,880 points you get in that first tier and let me know. 353 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,680 Because when I was doing it, I do remember I was seeing 2 to 3 354 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,000 movies per month. And that would be, but you know, 355 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,200 I'm, I'm seeing movies in like Thursday night, you know, 356 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,880 something that's been out for a while, maybe a week or two. 357 00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:04,040 I'm seeing movies on like Tuesday afternoon right when I, 358 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,640 I get off work. And then I might go see like one 359 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,560 movie on like a Saturday afternoon while I'm out running 360 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,400 my errands and shit. How was the ping pong movie with 361 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,520 that? I didn't see. 362 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,400 That ballet and opera was low form of art. 363 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,440 Say what?

He decides the winners, the 548 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,680 losers, the right answers, the wrong answers, what questions 549 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,520 there even are and who gets asked the questions. 550 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:30,720 So today's game, I'm going to call it It's electric. 551 00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:39,120 And what I'm going to do exactly, and what I was going to 552 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,200 do, what I'm going to do for you, Jerry, is I am going to 553 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,200 describe a power set for you, OK? 554 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,120 And you are going to have to tell me which black superhero 555 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:57,400 this power set belongs to, OK? This will be a moderately 556 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:04,560 difficult game because these power sets can and or may be 557 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:09,120 very similar because, as we know, all black superheroes have 558 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,520 electricity powers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 559 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,960 OK. So you're going to have to 560 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,720 really pay attention to how these electricity powers show 561 00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:22,800 up. Or you know what, it might not 562 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,560 be that hard because some of their some distinct things like 563 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,040 if they're 3 powers, like one of them is always distinct enough 564 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,920 to where you can be like oh that is this. 565 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:36,400 Person And is this Jess? Oh, excuse me, is this Jess? 566 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,160 Am I boring you, Jared? Yeah, like God, every, every 567 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,280 time, every time. Is this Jess comic book or is 568 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,840 this like comic book, anime, TV or? 569 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,520 Just comic books. Just comic books. 570 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,520 DC, Marvel. Oh, OK, so I mean I should get 571 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,080 it right? Yeah, you should be fine. 572 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,240 Yeah, you should be fine. OK, let's do. 573 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,040 It alright, Are you ready, Buggy Woogy Woogy. 574 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:07,640 That's from Princess and the Frog. 575 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:09,480 Number one. I'm. 576 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:16,440 Still thinking it's. Electric #1 Generates and 577 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,120 controls electricity. Can absorb electrical energy. 578 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,480 Uses electricity to enhance strength and flight. 579 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:32,920 Generates and controls. You said flight, so it's not 580 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,920 Static Shock. Well, Static Shock just upgraded 581 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,920 his powers in the latest comic book, but that's in the future. 582 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,280 Do you want a hint? I do have hints. 583 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:51,320 Not yet, I use flights so it's not storm. 584 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,520 I'm thinking black lightning maybe? 585 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,400 You said generates and controls. Right. 586 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:05,920 It could be actually Electro because Electro also what you 587 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,760 said superheroes, so it's not super villains. 588 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,640 OK, I'm still thinking static shock. 589 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,560 I'm not static shock black lightning. 590 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,800 Electro isn't black. You talking about Electro from 591 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,600 spider man? Yeah, Electro from Spider Man. 592 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,640 Is he black? No, he's not black in the 593 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,000 comments. OK. 594 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,760 Let's see, I'm really thinking black lightning. 595 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,480 OK, is that the one you want to go with Final answer. 596 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,080 You say generates and controls light and what else? 597 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,680 Generates and controls electricity. 598 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,920 Can absorb electrical energy. Uses electricity to enhance 599 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,320 strength in flight. Yeah, white lightning, that's 600 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:55,960 what you. Wanted does all that stuff. 601 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,640 Is that, is that the one you're going with? 602 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,080 Yeah, I'm. Gonna go with black. 603 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,120 Lightning, all right, that's correct. 604 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:14,240 It is black lightning all right #2 can summon lightning storms, 605 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,400 manipulates weather, can fly using wind currents. 606 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,200 Storm. Absolutely. 607 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,240 That is storms. That is one of the easier ones, 608 00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:31,240 all right. Controls electromagnetic energy. 609 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:38,760 Can generate electric blasts. Can ride on metal objects like a 610 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:43,840 flying surfboard. This is sounding like static 611 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,600 shots. Shotic shock. 612 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,800 That's who you're gonna go with. Static Shock. 613 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:49,960 Yes. Virgil Hawkins. 614 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,600 Static Shock. That is correct, Jared. 615 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,280 OK, alright, alright. We. 616 00:39:54,560 --> 00:40:00,560 Got there, by the way, who else? Now he's starting to get tricky. 617 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,040 What I did not say earlier is that all of the heroes in this 618 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,680 game will have electric power, so just be mindful of that. 619 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,080 Are are are, are they all black? They are all black, OK. 620 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:21,680 OK, OK. All right, superhuman strength 621 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,200 and durability, unbreakable skin. 622 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:33,120 That's pretty much it. Where's the electric powers? 623 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,120 I just said that all of these people will not have electric 624 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,640 powers, but the but they will all be black. 625 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,640 OK, so Luke Cage. That is Luke Cage, correct? 626 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:55,840 All right. Enhance strength and agility. 627 00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:02,560 Genius level intellect. Enhance strength. 628 00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:04,880 I mean, this is sounded like Mr. Terrific kind of. 629 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,480 I didn't know he had a hand strength and a jealousy. 630 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,440 Maybe it's like Olympic level 'cause what's it enhanced by? 631 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,120 Enhanced strength. And when I think of enhanced, it 632 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,680 is more than what the IT is more than what a a, a person, a 633 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,000 normal human can accomplish. Like no matter how much you 634 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,840 train, no matter how given athlete you are, you will not 635 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,920 have enhanced strength. You will only have really good 636 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:41,160 human strength. Yeah, like Olympics so. 637 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,440 I think that's just really good human strength. 638 00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:48,120 Yeah. And I don't so it was enhanced 639 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,480 by something outside of him self. 640 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:55,440 That's what you're saying? I'm, I am saying enhanced 641 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,720 strength, like let me think, let me try to think of somebody like 642 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,920 Luke Cage has enhanced strength in my opinion. 643 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:10,640 Because he was a scientific project for the government while 644 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,720 he was in prison, correct? Sure, sure. 645 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,160 OK, Let me try to think of somebody else. 646 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,880 Wonder Man has enhanced strength. 647 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,880 Right, because he controls the ions. 648 00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:34,520 Yes, but would you say that his enhanced strength is due to the 649 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,880 ion stuff or does he just have in hand strength and can do the 650 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,880 ion stuff? Literally do that due to the ion 651 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:47,200 stuff when he was a a scientific project with Baron Zemo. 652 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,240 I didn't know that. I didn't know he did a science 653 00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:54,320 project. OK, but anyway, what is your 654 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,360 guess for #5? I'm still stuck on what does 655 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,480 enhance. Does enhance mean something 656 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:06,280 outside of yourself? I'm not sure. 657 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:07,800 I'm not sure how Marvel defines that. 658 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,440 How do you define it? You're the alpha and the Omega 659 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,120 here. Is that what you said? 660 00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:17,120 I just defined it. I just defined it and gave 2 661 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,400 examples. So. 662 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,400 So according to your examples, it does mean that it is outside 663 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,960 of yourself. That's not what I thought it 664 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,840 meant, but apparently the 2 examples I gave they are they 665 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,200 were enhanced by something outside of themselves. 666 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,600 OK. So in this example that we're 667 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:43,720 saying this question is the enhancement outside of yourself. 668 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,440 Are you asking for a hint? Sure. 669 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,240 OK, because I I, I I'm not getting this question. 670 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,960 Yes, in this in this case it the enhancement does come from 671 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,600 something else. He was not born with enhanced 672 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:04,880 strength. He has a hand strength and a 673 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,200 genius level into like anything else. 674 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,960 Now you want another hint. No, no. 675 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,800 I mean, is there anything else in the question? 676 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:13,960 Is there anything else in the question? 677 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:27,080 OK, I'm thinking Black Panther. I'm thinking Goliath, but you 678 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,560 did say can grow, enhance, strengthen to this level 679 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,600 intellects. So yeah, I'm like Panther, 680 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,320 'cause you all said Dexterity, right? 681 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,400 I did not say anything about oh, I said agility. 682 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:41,800 Yeah, agility. Yeah. 683 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,720 OK, so Black Panther. You're going with Black Panther 684 00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:46,560 then? Yes. 685 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,720 Alright, that is correct. OK, it is the Black Panther. 686 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:58,200 Alright, number six spider like agility, camouflage ability, 687 00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:03,340 bioelectric venom blasts. That's Miles Morales, spider 688 00:45:03,340 --> 00:45:04,840 man. Correct if. 689 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,800 I were to say Spider Man. I would have got that. 690 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,080 I should've just said Spider Man. 691 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,460 You would have also gotten it correct had you just said spider 692 00:45:13,460 --> 00:45:15,160 man. You know he goes by something 693 00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:19,680 else in the cartoon. Manipulates antimatter Who? 694 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:22,720 Monster Rallies goes by.

Skilled martial artist. 725 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,200 I don't know if that's, I'm hesitant to say that one because 726 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,240 it's not really a superpower or anybody can learn martial arts, 727 00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:46,920 no.

Alright, the last one here. 730 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:03,280 Mystical magic, sorcery and spirit summoning. 731 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:08,880 Supernatural combat abilities. Mystical magic. 732 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:15,200 Mystical magic. Magical magic, Jared. 733 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,000 You just said magic three times. So mystical magic sorceress 734 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,720 abilities. Sorcery and spirit summoning. 735 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,960 OK, so you. Said magic. 736 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,240 Magic. And guess what? 737 00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:33,840 More magic. Who's this person? 738 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,640 Is his magic more in the home of necromancy? 739 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,840 Are you asking for a hint? It's Doctor Voodoo. 740 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,120 I'm just going to Doctor Voodoo. No, it could be blood wind. 741 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,160 Hold on, hold on, hold on. It could be blood wind. 742 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:55,800 It could be blood Wind. You said visco, magic, sorcery 743 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,960 and spirit. OK, you said spirit, Sonny. 744 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,800 I'm going to think. Yeah, it's it's Doctor Voodoo. 745 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,240 I'm going to give it to you, but his name is Brother Voodoo. 746 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,680 His name was Doctor Voodoo on the comic book. 747 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,400 His comic baby was source was Supreme I. 748 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,000 Was just about to say, was that when he took over the Doctor 749 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,360 Strange comic? Yeah. 750 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,560 So OK cool. So his name is Brother Voodoo in 751 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,520 HP? His name is Jericho Jerome, his 752 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,520 brother is the Brother Voodoo. That's it. 753 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:32,840 All right. But you got them all right. 754 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:40,840 100%, bro, 100% congratulations. Yeah, I think this is your first 755 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,160 100% in a while. Well. 756 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,480 You be cheating. And on this episode, we're going 757 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,440 to talk about this whole conundrum. 758 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:55,760 We're black people in comics and black people only having 759 00:49:56,040 --> 00:50:03,160 electric powers today. There's been a lot of electric 760 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,880 black characters. In fact, it's a weird pattern in 761 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,440 cop pop culture. You know these black superheroes 762 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:17,720 end up with lightning energy or electricity based commerce, and 763 00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:21,280 once you start naming them, it's hard to ignore the trend. 764 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:26,760 Black lightning static black Vulcan juice, soul power. 765 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,720 That's juice. So Juice was a homage to Black 766 00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:40,840 Lightning in the Super fans, no? That's and then soul power. 767 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,160 Come on. Injustice League cartoon Soul 768 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:49,600 Power was a pastiche of black lightning in Sex Shock. 769 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:57,240 There's also, of course, Storm Miles, Bumblebee. 770 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:05,040 Even in the Hidden Cloud Village, The 4th right cards, 771 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,800 Killer Bee, and of course Vaults. 772 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,240 See the whole damn, The whole damn Village Hidden in the 773 00:51:13,240 --> 00:51:16,760 Clouds. Yes, and vaults in the kind of 774 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,240 book Irredeemable. Did you ever read Irredeemable? 775 00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,760 I remember I was reading Irredeemable, Irreplaceable and 776 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,440 Vince Bar at the same time. Those are great books. 777 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,480 But yeah, yeah. Do you see the trend? 778 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:39,960 Like why do you think there are so many black characters at 779 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:47,040 electric powers? That's a good question. 780 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,720 I have no idea why that would even be a thing. 781 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:51,200 It's. A thing? 782 00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:52,880 So do you not think it's a thing? 783 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:57,680 I mean, it's it is a thing. I definitely agree, but why? 784 00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,760 But like, what is the point of that? 785 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:04,080 Like where did and I, you know it and I and I guarantee is 786 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:08,440 something like like one of the early these black characters had 787 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,480 electric powers. So let's just give them all 788 00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,520 electric powers. It was black lightning. 789 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,520 Black lightning. Well actually it may have been 790 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,840 storm cause black lightning came two years after storm came in 791 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:25,880 1977. Storm came in 1975 and Black 792 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:34,000 Lightning kicked it off for everybody, especially for DC. 793 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:40,600 And Storm she did, but she was mostly in the comments back then 794 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,120 when she appeared. She was mostly just a nudist and 795 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:45,560 free. She didn't really use her powers 796 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,280 that much, you know? So she was just, she was just a 797 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,200 fan service. Kinda. 798 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:58,360 Yeah. Well, some people think that 799 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:04,720 lightning is visually dramatic, easy to animate in comics, 800 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,920 animation and movies. As the lightning is easy to 801 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:13,040 animate, it's. Just some lines, I guess. 802 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,760 I don't think so in movies, but in Congress. 803 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,760 I mean, it's very dramatic. It's very, it looks very 804 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,680 dramatic. But why would they give that 805 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:27,640 immediately to a black person? I don't know, electricity 806 00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:31,400 immediately communicates power in danger without a lot of 807 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,800 explanation and it creates dynamic visuals. 808 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,440 You know, energy sparks emotions on the pages screen. 809 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:44,600 I don't really know why that would suffice to give rid of the 810 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,480 black characters. Can we name any white characters 811 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,120 with lightning base powers? Thor. 812 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:57,240 Thor. OK, but he's mostly known for 813 00:53:57,240 --> 00:54:01,040 that hammer. Like lightning and the hammer? 814 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:05,200 Sure, Yeah, I wouldn't take the lightning away from him. 815 00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:11,080 OK, alright, cool, cool. I I don't, I don't even, I can't 816 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,400 even name anyone, but is there anyone in DC let? 817 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,760 Me, Let me look it up bro 'cause I don't know. 818 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:26,920 I don't know either. I know that yeah. 819 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,400 I, I, I don't think there are any white people with. 820 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,960 I know that Thor is 1 in Marvel. This. 821 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,680 Villain. Had lightning vase powers and 822 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,680 Marvel called lightning lad or lightning something. 823 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,440 He destroyed the West Coast Avengers. 824 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:53,080 There's also Electro in Marvel. Limewire. 825 00:54:55,160 --> 00:55:00,280 Laugh Wire is white. Oh, oh, she's she's a girl. 826 00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,680 Yeah. OK, who's a villain? 827 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:14,080 OK, I'm starting to get the drift because besides the door 828 00:55:16,240 --> 00:55:18,240 lightning lots. Of villain Electro. 829 00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:22,960 'S a villain. Nope, even this even this person 830 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,520 is a black guy. I was going to say Jaquin 831 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,840 Thunder but who doesn't actually have the powers themselves but 832 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,080 controls a like lightning bass genie. 833 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:37,880 He is also black. And and the weather master, he 834 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:46,680 controls the storms and he is a a lightning based villain who is 835 00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:50,640 a Flash villain. OK. 836 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,640 So maybe that's why black people are given these powers. 837 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,640 'Cause they're seen as evil. 'Cause they're seen as evil. 838 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,320 I don't. I guess I don't see lightning as 839 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:05,720 evil. I see lightning as pretty 840 00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:07,360 neutral. It's like a naturally occurring 841 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:08,320 thing. Yeah. 842 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,840 But maybe it's pretty brutal, like to get struck by lightning 843 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:16,440 lights, you probably gonna die. Yeah, and it's easier to get 844 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,960 struck by lightning than like a heat blast from your eyes. 845 00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,720 Is it? Like I don't know, people have 846 00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:28,440 been getting struck by lightning for millions of years and people 847 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,240 haven't been getting struck by lightning for millions of years. 848 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:36,840 I mean by heat blast for millions of years, so or ionic 849 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:38,960 blast. Like, even though getting shot 850 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,880 by lightning is pretty rare, especially more so nowadays. 851 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:49,320 Maybe because it's more common? I don't know. 852 00:56:53,240 --> 00:57:01,610 I do not know. Yeah, who knows? 853 00:57:02,370 --> 00:57:05,050 Yeah, I mean, this is this is a tough one 'cause I'm and I'm on 854 00:57:05,050 --> 00:57:06,810 Reddit right now trying to see if there's any. 855 00:57:07,450 --> 00:57:12,090 So anyone else has any ideas? There's a YouTube video that 856 00:57:12,090 --> 00:57:14,010 goes over this strobe, but I don't really want to watch a 857 00:57:14,010 --> 00:57:15,450 video right now. I just want to. 858 00:57:15,450 --> 00:57:24,200 Read some Yeah, Black Folk and Bumblebee, Static Rapture. 859 00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,160 These are all black people votes. 860 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:33,520 Even Aqualad. Yeah, but they don't say why 861 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:42,760 they have. Yeah, Yeah, I want to talk about 862 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,960 this. I really wanted an answer to 863 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:50,840 this or just like a theory because I can see if it's like I 864 00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,320 can see if it was like all black people have like light powers 865 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,960 because our, you know, our skin absorbs more sunlight. 866 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:08,880 So that would make sense or if or even if it was, or even if 867 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,720 you know something more stereotypical, like if it was 868 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,480 like, oh, all, all the black superheroes have like some kind 869 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,480 of like sound like noise power because black people are loud, 870 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,240 right? You know, But the lightning 871 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,440 thing, I don't it doesn't follow any of the stereotypes or any 872 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:31,440 facts about black people. But are we tried to make 873 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,440 something into something else like I, it's, it's, it's 874 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,560 everything in the world races? Or is this just a coincidence? 875 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,640 You know what? There's an exception to every 876 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,640 rule, and this could be the exception. 877 00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:50,680 However, in my experience, in my 30 or five years of life, 878 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,280 whenever I have been like, oh, this is like not a thing. 879 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,680 This is just a thing is not a racist thing. 880 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,520 It always kind of leads back to like racism or slavery. 881 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,600 For instance. Do you know why splitting the 882 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,240 pole is a thing? So you don't get bad luck in 883 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,560 your friendship. But do you? 884 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,280 Yeah. So that is why, you know, that's 885 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,640 the that's that's that's that's what the the mindset is. 886 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,400 It's like, oh, don't split the pole because it's it's it's bad 887 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:21,800 luck. Yeah. 888 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:23,680 But do you know where it comes from? 889 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:28,960 I do not. Splitting the pole comes from 890 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,120 slavery. When black people were escaping 891 00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,200 from slavery and they were running through the woods, they 892 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:38,000 ran like a straight line. And so, and often times they're 893 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,680 running at night and you know, folks, they have like lanterns 894 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,400 and flashlights and shit back then. 895 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,280 And even if you did, you weren't using them because you were 896 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,400 trying to stay hidden. And if you were to split a tree 897 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,680 or something, an obstacle in the forest, you could very easily 898 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,160 lose your way. And like half of the people you 899 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:59,960 running with could end up lost. So don't split the poles so you 900 00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:03,120 don't get lost running on your way to freedom. 901 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:09,200 You know, I just thought about something that maybe it isn't a 902 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:16,720 bad thing about being inherently racist. 903 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:21,200 Maybe it's just like a subconscious racism, like how 904 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,480 how black people get stereotypes. 905 01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:32,760 I think it's that like black people, all black people have to 906 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:41,880 like rap music, all black people have to root for Issa Rae, gone 907 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:47,360 to these award shows, all black people, you know, blah, blah, 908 01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,720 blah. All black superheroes have to 909 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:54,080 have electric powers. So I think it's more of a 910 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,200 stereotype, which is inherently racist. 911 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,720 I don't think it's a bad thing because the people who have 912 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:07,480 these electric powers, storm, Wally W, Static Shot, they're 913 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:16,080 extremely popular, but I just think it may be a stereotype. 914 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,360 Yeah, like, like once they did it once, they're like, OK, this 915 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,240 is what you do with black, black characters. 916 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:27,720 Yeah like like how it was said before, all black people have 917 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:34,480 electric powers, no black people have telepathy powers, and no 918 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,760 black people can what reality like Scarlet Witch? 919 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,120 Because we would get rid of the racism and that would be bad for 920 01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,920 everybody except the black people. 921 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:50,200 And really, it won't be bad for anybody except for the 922 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,880 pedophiles. Except for the, you know, except 923 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,920 for the capitalists. Yeah, I, I, I, I think it may be 924 01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:01,560 more of a stereotyping type of thing than a what are they 925 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,400 thinking type of thing. So. 926 01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:06,920 You know. Oh, go ahead. 927 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,240 I was, I was, I was going to say often I was like, you know, 928 01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:13,280 often, you know, racism does not have racism and stereotypes do 929 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,640 not have, do not make sense. They do not have any sort of 930 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:23,040 like factual grounding. So this is. 931 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:30,840 If Storm had Jean Grey's power. Oh, she would be badass. 932 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,520 She would be bad. She and she and she would still 933 01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:37,800 find a way to control the weather. 934 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:45,760 Like I think the weather is her lane, but I think that if she 935 01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:55,040 controlled mind and movie matter and Jean Grey controlled storm, 936 01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,280 I really don't think that the impact of those characters would 937 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,160 be any lesson. Oh absolutely not. 938 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:07,760 And I think but I but I also think that Storm would have her 939 01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,840 powers under control a lot better than Jean Grey did. 940 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:13,160 Like the? Only thing, yeah. 941 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,840 Jean Grey, like Storm, would be passing out every time she did 942 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:20,240 like a psychic. In the cartoon, don't do that, 943 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,520 store in because Jean Grey passed out. 944 01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:29,200 Well, I don't know, they both kind of got weak every time they 945 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:30,800 did something big in the cartoon. 946 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,320 And I think, but I think the difference is the difference for 947 01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:38,960 me is, you know, Jean Grey, you're knocking out five people 948 01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,920 at one time. Storm just changed the weather 949 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,000 for an entire region of the United States. 950 01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:51,480 You deserve a break after that. Yeah, yeah. 951 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:58,520 But yes, some people don't think that the electric hero trend as 952 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,480 black people are even. Is even a real thing? 953 01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:04,440 Bad. Oh, I mean, I don't know if it's 954 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,920 bad or not, it's just a thing. Yeah, it's a thing. 955 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,840 I mean, even the latest character that I could think of, 956 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,520 Miles, he has electric power. So it's still a thing. 957 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,480 Like he he didn't originally have electric powers. 958 01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:20,520 No. Did he? 959 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,840 He did not. He got that later. 960 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:29,000 But somebody was like, whoa. A black person. 961 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:34,480 Oh yeah, juice him up. Where's his electric power? 962 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:39,960 Put his fingers in a socket quick, they said. 963 01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,000 Yeah, they just gave him that sword like last year. 964 01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,360 But that was a black person who gave him the sword. 965 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,000 Yeah, 'cause he got somewhere from Blade. 966 01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:52,160 Right. I think it was that storyline or 967 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:57,360 or right before that storyline, but where we got the electric 968 01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:01,000 sword. But he had the electric blast 969 01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,320 before that. Yeah, he had electric blast 970 01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,680 before that, but he just got his electric sword. 971 01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:10,680 OK, OK, OK. I need I I've been trying to get 972 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,640 him on this shelf for a while. I gotta ask him some questions. 973 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:17,280 Too Miles Morales. The writers. 974 01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:20,880 His name is Ziggy. OK, OK, OK. 975 01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:27,560 Ziggy, you know, do you think that the writers like can get 976 01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:31,600 like pigeonholed into like what The Who and what the character 977 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:37,760 is they like, or like do you think, do you think it's like, 978 01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:41,800 alright, Jerry, we're going to get you the right storm, but 979 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,360 here's what's going to happen with Storm. 980 01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,800 So you need to write these plot points that we've already came 981 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,720 up with. So we have Mariah on here. 982 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,600 We did. You know who who actually does 983 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,560 write Storm? Yeah, yeah, she does write 984 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,000 Storm. He, he. 985 01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,240 And that's another thing there. I've read articles by white 986 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,960 people, they call him a she. Like you don't even like a quick 987 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:09,840 Google search. But Mariah said that he pitched 988 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:13,800 his storyline and there were no notes from Marvel. 989 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,920 So I think that's how it goes. Like he pictures his storyline. 990 01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:24,840 And when I asked him, you know, how all the pressure of writing 991 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:31,600 Storm was with a 75 year, well, with a 75, with his over 40 year 992 01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:36,280 history, he said it was hard. It was hard to not be 993 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,280 pigeonholed. But if you are reading Storm and 994 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,600 what he's doing in that book, it's the day I've ever seen done 995 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,920 in comics before. He has taken this level, who was 996 01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,320 at Omega level already and he is up that to. 997 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:51,680 Cosmic. Cosmic. 998 01:06:53,320 --> 01:07:01,160 So not since Jean Grey has a person been up that much. 999 01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:06,240 And yeah, yeah. And I think that what Storm is 1000 01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:09,480 doing now on the rain that he's doing is amazing. 1001 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:13,200 So I don't think that they pigeonholed her and I'm really 1002 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,840 will pigeonholed him. And I'm really confused that 1003 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,720 because if he can write this for Storm. 1004 01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,720 Why can't other? People write books in their solo 1005 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:29,120 series for other characters like like what he's doing. 1006 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:33,560 Like I don't think every carrot needs to be up to the moon and 1007 01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,400 back, but he is 3 days I've never been done before in comic 1008 01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,360 books and y'all are still following the same yeah same 1009 01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:45,120 outline. I like a good, I like a good, 1010 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:49,720 like street level, city level story on a superhero. 1011 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:54,520 Yeah, like make it in. Make it intricate, intimate and 1012 01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,720 personal. But see, that's the thing, this 1013 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:04,240 one still is extremely personal. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, 'cause I 1014 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,280 was reading. I mean, I, I'm, I'm still buying 1015 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,040 the comics. I just am not making time to 1016 01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:13,160 read them as much, but I will. Start. 1017 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:18,439 Well, it's good to mark this. We wouldn't have them on if it 1018 01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:22,160 wasn't good. OK, I think we figured it out. 1019 01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:26,080 It's a stereotype thing. It's a stereotype thing. 1020 01:08:28,319 --> 01:08:31,240 And I think that I think. There's reason behind because I 1021 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:35,439 feel do you think there's reason behind like black characters not 1022 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:40,240 having powers like telepathy or reality warping or like the 1023 01:08:40,279 --> 01:08:45,399 things that would heavily influence someone like can 1024 01:08:45,399 --> 01:08:48,040 heavily influence the person? Tell, tell, tell me your 1025 01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:49,359 thoughts, Jerry, tell me your thoughts. 1026 01:08:49,359 --> 01:08:53,080 And this was. We talked about this when we had 1027 01:08:53,319 --> 01:08:56,160 that person on who would not be named anymore. 1028 01:08:56,680 --> 01:09:00,319 But if a black person got telepathy powers, like the 1029 01:09:00,319 --> 01:09:09,399 person who taught Emma Frost her powers, if a black person got 1030 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:14,520 telepathy, then all this stuff wouldn't be going on like it is. 1031 01:09:18,279 --> 01:09:20,399 This stuff wouldn't be going on like it is. 1032 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:27,399 I guess so, I guess so. Like I can't think of no other 1033 01:09:27,399 --> 01:09:31,000 cause in Marvel and DC they black people don't have 1034 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:35,560 telepathy and I've never seen a black person with telepathy 1035 01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:40,680 outside of the big two. Invincible no. 1036 01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:47,040 Anime no. They just don't want black 1037 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:48,600 people to read, to be able to read their mind. 1038 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:53,520 Can you think of any other power set that black people just do 1039 01:09:53,520 --> 01:10:01,280 not have? This telepathy reality warping. 1040 01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:10,480 I don't see ice. I feel like they're black. 1041 01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:16,600 Who wear ice powers? I can't think of one right right 1042 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:21,880 now, so you might be right. Is Mr. Freeze black in some 1043 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:22,640 instances? Ciao. 1044 01:10:25,480 --> 01:10:30,800 No, you guys have ice powers. He just has to be cold all the 1045 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:34,680 time. Oh, Frozone. 1046 01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,080 Oh, right, the most important one. 1047 01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:43,880 Black people with heat powers. Do we see that a lot? 1048 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,560 Are we breaking reality? There is a mutant that has ice 1049 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,200 and. Oh yeah. 1050 01:10:55,640 --> 01:11:05,600 There's her. There are no black people with 1051 01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:09,920 Jesse powers. Not that I know of. 1052 01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:16,280 Oh, in the anime in Fire Force, there's the black guy who has 1053 01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,920 the firepower. Well, they're all going to have 1054 01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:23,120 fire powers there. That's the point. 1055 01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:30,800 They all have fire powers in Fire Force, but I do not see any 1056 01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,960 black people with ice powers besides the one. 1057 01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:38,000 Sunspot.

But Robbie raises as Ghost Rider 1065 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:08,080 also has fire powers. Is he black or or Latino? 1066 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:14,680 You know what you might be. 'Cause he ain't black. 1067 01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:27,640 Let's see. Eddie Okonkwo is a mutant that 1068 01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:31,400 has both fire and ice power.

Truthfully, I was jealous when 1156 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,560 David hooked up with another with another woman. 1157 01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:16,200 I like David, but I can't bring that bald white guy into my 1158 01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:19,280 inner circle. I would be an art, an outcast, 1159 01:18:19,480 --> 01:18:22,480 but he's still my spirit animal and I miss him. 1160 01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:27,560 Sound like she's at peace with where things are. 1161 01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:34,400 I don't really.

I think that is that doesn't 1174 01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,520 that part did not surprise me because I feel like that kind of 1175 01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,960 stuff happens all the time, especially in sorority world. 1176 01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,880 I mean, just because it happens all the time doesn't mean it's 1177 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,640 right. Fair enough, but it does mean 1178 01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:49,600 I'm not surprised. And then y'all have fun on the 1179 01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:51,200 cruise. Y'all didn't have sex the first 1180 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:55,760 night but that morning you find that he has a team move lock wig 1181 01:19:55,760 --> 01:20:02,080 on and like the Marcus does and he and after you glue it back on 1182 01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:07,880 you're then not not ready to have a relationship with him. 1183 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:09,880 Y'all hook up with other people? You're not attracted. 1184 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,760 You're not attracted to that man no more, no. 1185 01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:17,360 No, no, no, no no no because y'all hooked up with a few on 1186 01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:18,920 that cruise. I don't know what type of cruise 1187 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,520 this was. Maybe not Carnival, maybe it was 1188 01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:26,240 a Virgin Voyages, but y'all hooked up with other people. 1189 01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:31,920 And then you said that you didn't want to bring him around 1190 01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:34,960 because he's white. You didn't want to bring him 1191 01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:39,480 around because he's bored. You would be outcast by your 1192 01:20:39,480 --> 01:20:46,520 sorority sisters whom you do not like enough to let them have a 1193 01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:51,520 man that they saw first.
