Smart plus Neon. Did he have a nice apartment? Beautiful apartment. Really? It was a beautiful apartment. It's why I went back. It's so funny. I was fully expecting someone on the podcast to be like, did he have a nice dick?

But Rachel, really going in for the family friendly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is, this is what she's attracted to. Oh, hi, welcome to another episode of Bad Dates. I'm your host, Joel Kim Booster, as always here to bring you another set of terrible, no good, awful dates brought to you by some of my funniest friends in the entire world. The premise of the podcast is very simple. It's in the title, Bad Dates. But we don't just cover dates, we cover hookups, we cover relationships, we cover marriages,

years long marriages. I'm telling you, bad dates can look like anything. But before we get to my panel, as always, I'm gonna read a little bit of listener mail. A young lady with a predicament of her own. This is from Endira. Bad Dates. Last week on my young lady with a predicament of her own. Uh, this is from Endira. FAT DATES Last week on my first date with a guy, the vibes were right,

and we made out after one drink. Get it, girl. We got on a subway headed to my place, but while we were on the train, my face started to feel swollen and itchy. I looked at my face in the iPhone camera and I was covered in hives. I started to freak out and he asked me, are you allergic to nuts? I said, yes, and said, oh, that makes sense. I've been eating nuts all day long. Who the fuck does that? We get out of the train, I get Benadryl at a deli and we sit outside for half an hour for it

to kick in. Just when I'm sure I'm not going to die, here comes nut breath for another kiss. I have to remind him, he almost killed me just recently. My problem is he was the best kisser of my life and I'm leaning toward going out with him again. Is this a mistake? Well, Indira, here's the thing. I don't necessarily think that there are any villains in this tale and that's a rare thing for us to come into contact with on bad dates. Obviously, come into contact with on bad dates. Obviously, it doesn't say, I don't think you alerted him to your nut allergy immediately. So not necessarily first kiss, you know,

it's sort of a wash there. Now, he goes in for the second kiss moments after trying to kill you. And that's a problem. That's a problem. That's thoughtlessness. That is telling me that he cares more about getting it than your personal health. But with that, I'm going to bring in some of my esteemed guests. They're going to weigh in on this a little bit too. And maybe they might have a different opinion.

Joining us first, he's an actor and a comedian who has appeared on 9-1-1, This Is Us, and Hacks. Starting in May, he begins the I Love Uly Tour. It's Uly Morazan. Hello, Uly. Hi. Thanks so much for having me. Of course, thank you so much for being here. This next guy, not to flex, but he's a storyteller

who created and hosts two podcasts, Wait For It and Leaving the Theater, and he is a three time Podcast Academy winner. Ronald Young Jr. everybody. You're making me feel like a piece of shit for just hosting this one podcast. And Ronald, you realize we only have one life to live, okay? We have one life to live and you're doing two podcasts?

Let me rub it in, it's actually three. There's pop culture debate club as well. Oh my God. I have a lot of free time. It's overused, but I do hope that you find the time throughout the day to literally touch grass. I do, yeah. Okay, thank God.

I'm outside right now. Makes me feel a lot better. And then last but certainly not least, a very old friend of mine, one of my favorite comedians. She's a writer for shows like Comedy Central's Digman and has appeared on High Maintenance. We were in the trenches of the Bushwick Open Mic scene many, many moons ago.

Please give it up for Rachel Kali. Hey, that is true. It is. I mean, high box rock shot. I remember it like it was yesterday. Some trauma bonds cannot be broken. No, it's tough. Yeah, thank you so much for being here. Now guys, what do we think about Indira's predicament?

Should she give her potential murderer a second go? That second attempt at the kiss is really telling. You didn't even wait for the Benadryl to come down before you go in for the second one. I don't know about this guy. Maybe she was giving Kylie Jenner lips, you know, the smell of sweat. I hate people who are like, oh, need a little energy, and then reach into their pocket and pull out a pocket full of nuts. How long have they been in there?

Like, this is where you're going to for energy? Get the fuck out of here. The other thing that could have happened is she's sitting at the bar watching him eat nuts. Yeah. Because that seems like kind of the most likely thing that happened, to which I say, Indira, you know, advocate for yourself.

-♪ Bath Dates! -♪ to which I say, Indira, you know, advocate for yourself. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates.

Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Yuli, give us a little bit of context about where you're at right now. Are you in a relationship? Are you a monogamy guy?

Are you a serial dater? What's your style? Well, I'm currently married to my first husband. Oh, wow. We have been married for three years. Congrats. Thank you. It was never in my plans for the future.

I never thought about marriage or serious relationships. Same. I'm engaged right now and I never thought I would be a gay marriage gay. And here I am. Neither have I. And he was my first boyfriend. He was like my first serious relationship. So like I, with the bad dates, I was like dates, dates, dates. I was more of like the less I knew about you,

the better my entire life. Like it was more like, don't tell me anything. Just like, let's hook up and go. So like, I didn't have a lot of bad dates, but I have some. I have one. You have enough to appear on the podcast. So take us to where the story takes place. Paint us the picture.

So this is when I was 21. I had just graduated college. I just came out as gay. So I was like exploring myself. I was exploring my body. I went on this date with this guy. We had met on the apps, as the kids would say. Which one?

You gotta tell us. You know, back then, I think it was Adam for Adam. Adam for Adam. Another Adam for Adam shout out on this podcast. I swear to God, everybody from our generation is just singing the praises of a desktop-based hookup. It was the original grinder. Yeah.

Wait, it was on your computer? You had, yeah, back in our day, you had to use your laptop computer to hook up. These kids don't know. These kids don't know what it was like. I was saying with OkCupid, it was the same way. Oh, yeah. Yeah. My mom met her husband on J-Date. Okay.

J-Date? What does that mean? Jewish J-Date. So, yeah. And that's obviously on a desktop computer as well. So you meet on Adam for Adam. We meet on for Adam for Adam. We connect. He invites me over to his place to have dinner and drinks.

The vibes are nice. Everything's going well. And then he's like, hey, let's go to a bar and continue drinking. So I was like, okay, I'm having a lot. I'm having a fun time. Like, let's go to a bar. So then we end up going to a gay bar. He gets so incredibly hammered.

And he is so drunk that I end up ditching him at the bar. And I was like, this is just not working for me. He's making a fool of himself. I was like, there's plenty of other people here. Let me just, so I like, I think I turn a corner and I like leave him. Yeah, no, I love that. It's a take a penny, leave a penny situation.

Yeah, I was like. I ended up getting a call on my phone and it's him saying that he's been kicked out of the bar, that he's no longer allowed to be there. And so then I meet him in the front and the bouncer is like, he's too drunk, he can't be here, he needs to leave. And for some reason, I feel bad. And I was like, okay, let me take you home then.

I don't know. I felt like some kind of- Are you an emergency contact kind of guy? Are you doing this? I think so. Are you that friend. I don't know. I felt like some kind of- Are you an emergency contact kind of guy? Are you doing this? I think so. Are you that friend? I guess so. Yeah.

I guess so. I'm good at a crisis. But he, so I'm like, okay, let's walk to my car. I'll take you back home. And obviously you're way too drunk. And I'm like, why did you get so drunk? Oh my God, we were having so much fun. He slaps me across the face.

No. What? Yeah. This is when I told, like when I look back at the story now, I was like, gosh, you have, you need to have more self respect for yourself because I still after the slap was like, I'll take you home. No, I still was like, okay, fine. Like, no, not okay, fine.

But like, I was like, you're an asshole, but I'll drop you off because I can't leave you in the middle of downtown Sacramento for some reason, which I should have. It seems like that's what he deserves. Yeah. To be deserted in downtown Sacramento. I've been there. It's a difficult place. Exactly. But anyways, he gets in my car. I drive him to his place. But before I get to his place, we get pulled over by the cops

and the cops pull us over and immediately, Officer Lopez, I'll always remember you, he was so hot. He was so hot and so nice. Like, he's just like asking us, you know, about our night. And the date, the guy sitting next to me starts cussing him out. And starts yelling at him and saying how incredibly like wrong this whole situation.

Anyways, I'm going to take a wild guess shot in the dark that your date was a white man. He was a white man. Yes. Same question. I had the same. I'm like, now is this like, are we talking woke like F the police type thing or like, where's this going? You know what I mean? But now, okay, so we're talking entitlement, straight entitlement. He had all the audacity. He had all the cacacity. He just went for it and was basically like, never have I ever in my life been treated so much. Of course you haven't. He actually gets out of the car in the passenger seat and gets tackled by the police officer. Cause the guy's like, stay in your car, sir, stay in your car.

The officer Lopez, I love you. He was like, stay in your car. He doesn't. He gets tackled. We both get taken to jail. No. You get taken to jail too? We both get taken to jail. Unfortunately, I was drinking and driving. Yeah, that'll do it. Officer Lopez couldn't overlook that.

And I want to say for posterity's sake, a cab except for Officer Lopez. We're making an exception today for him because he's hot. And he was so sweet about it. And I think the guy next to me just made the whole situation so much more worse for me. But anyways, we get both taken to jail. Him for me because of a DUI, him because he's just like so belligerent and they just hate him at that point. We get to the jail. I say bye

to Officer Lopez and then we're put in the same cell and he now wants to cuddle in the middle now wants to cuddle in the middle of a Sacramento cell. And we're with like 20 other guys who are all looking at us, like they want to murder us already. And they're like sharpening the thing, they're sharpening their tools that they like are makeshifting. And he's like, hey, we need to stick together and we need a cuddle. He like, let's cuddle.

And I'm like, I'm not cuddling with you on the floor of this cell when you've just ruined my life. we need to stick together and we need a cuddle. He like, let's cuddle. And I'm like, I'm not cuddling with you on the floor of this cell when you've just ruined my life. And it was a really rough eight hour experience. Eight hours in the cell. Wow. And you're still alive. With this first date, yeah.

Do you think there were any other gay guys in the cell? If they were, I have no idea. They were like, that doesn't belong to us. That's not me. I'm not taking that on. I mean, probably. Maybe or maybe some like bisexual men, maybe some vicarious guys.

I really wish you met someone else in the jail cell. I really wish that that was the capper to this. You met your husband in the drunk tank. And you know what? That's where I met my husband. And we had a date. And the rest is history, you guys. I can't believe the audacity to get belligerently drunk, get tackled by the police,

and then propose doing side behavior in a jail cell with another gay man is next level. Like, thank God for 21 year olds, because otherwise we would not have stories like this. We just would not have stories like this. Bad dates. Bad dates. We are moving right along to Rachel's story now. Now, Rachel, give us a little bit of a lowdown on where you're at right now. Are you seeing somebody? Are you dating a lot?

Are you on a single journey? You know what? I'm seeing someone who lives in London. Okay. And I'm in LA and it's a huge issue. That is a, that is a trek. But where does your date take place, Rachel? Where in your history is this date taking place? We start on Tinder, of course.

Ah, where all the great stories start, really. So I matched with this girl and we went to Ginger's bar in Brooklyn, sort of like a famous lesbian bar. And I wanted to play pool, but there was like a long line. And so we were kind of like sitting and we got drinks. I spilled a drink on myself quickly. Charming, charming.

Which she was very nice about, but sort of, you know, we were already off to like a weird start because I was just like soaking wet, but like on my shirt. Yeah, like it wasn't like, you know, hot or whatever. And I was sort of like anxiously waiting for the pool table and this woman was doing amazing at pool and my date was sort of like looking at her all the time and I was like, you know, kind of jealous but also whatever. Then my stomach started to hurt and I was like, okay, like maybe I'm

like anxious, like it's kind of like my first date in a long time, whatever. This bombshell is slaying at pool right now in front of me. Yeah, like the stakes felt high. And I was like, all right, I'm going to go to the bathroom. And I kept going to the bathroom because I was like, maybe I just need to take a shit or something. But I kept going, nothing was happening, but I kept leaving her alone with this uber lesbian kind of pool shark, whatever.

And I was like, this is a disaster. And then I was like, this is actually, like the pain was getting worse and worse to the point where I couldn't sit down anymore So I'm kind of like pacing around the pool table my dates like you need to like chill a bit like you're gonna get She's like you're gonna get your chance to play pool Like you were just so excited to play pool. She thought you were just so excited to play pool. Yeah. I'm amped. Which by the way, I'm so bad at.

If I had actually gotten to play pool, it wouldn't have been cool. I can't reach the table basically. It doesn't work. You wouldn't have competed with the other girl being like, I need to prove myself tonight. It would have ended with them fucking on the table. It wouldn't have gone well. But so it's sort of getting to this point where and I had recently had an ovarian cyst that had burst and it was which is really painful and it was starting to feel like that

because I think I had like just recently gotten an IUD or something. There was something where I was like oh maybe this is something I actually need to like be concerned about and the pain was getting worse. They are scary and it changes like that by the way like it really will shift on a dime. So I was like you know what like I have to tell you something I think I might need to go to the hospital. Cause I was like, if I had a cyst burst, like you're supposed to go to the hospital

if it's like really painful. And that's what it was starting to feel like. And she was like, oh my God, like, do you want me to come with you? And I was like, yeah. Cause I was like, if I left her there, she would have fucked up with the pool lesbian. So I was like…

So you took her to the most romantic place in New York, the waiting room at Cedar Sinai. We went to the, like an NYU hospital near Bay Ridge basically. So we had to take this like long Uber where I, like anytime the car bounced, I was like screaming in pain, you know, and she was kind of just like there with me, which I thought part of me was like, oh, this is like 500 days of summer, you know, like, like quirky day life.

The every time you bounce, you make a sound. It's like your fun Mario Kart sound. Yeah, exactly. She wasn't holding my hand. We had almost no physical chemistry also. Oh. Oh. So.

Wow. We get to the hospital and also this is like the last week of February 2020, which will become relevant. Oh wow. Yes. So we get to the hospital. We're like waiting in the waiting room where people are like coming in, like bleeding out, throwing up.

Like I'm by far like the most well person there, but I'm like such a hypochondriac. I'm like, I need to stay, I need to stay. They finally take us into a room. It's not a room, it's a hallway with a curtain. And the doctors- Because our healthcare system rocks. Rocks. So awesome. And the doctor starts examining me and the doctor's like, oh, it's so nice.

I love seeing... He was basically like, oh, it's so nice your sister brought you. I was like, okay. Oh, no. Actually, this is like a first date and he was like, oh, you guys are gay? And I was like, yeah. And he's like, okay. Where did are gay. And I was like, yeah. He was like, okay.

Where did he learn bedside manner at? Watch What Happens Live? This is so crazy. It was like, and she was kind of like, yeah, yeah, I guess I'm gay. I think she might've been like, I'm actually bi. And I was like, okay. You know, like it was kind of like,

we're learning about each other, whatever. You made her bi actually in this moment. The date was so bad. She was like, actually I'm switching, hey, we're learning about each other, whatever. You made her buy actually in this moment. Yeah, I made her buy. The date was so bad, she was like, actually I'm switching at this moment. And the doctor left and was like, okay, I'm gonna run some tests, even though he hadn't taken anything from me, whatever.

We're kind of sitting, it was kind of cute, I guess, but it's like, you're in a hospital, it smells like shit, the lights are so bright, it's just horrible. And he comes back and he is like, do you want me to say the results in front of both of you or do you want privacy? And I was like, oh my God, I have cancer. Like I was like, this is my first day is going to find out I have cancer. I was like, just say it, just say it.

Because I was like kind of like freaking out. It's funny that he didn't give her an option by the way. By the way, if I were her, I'd be like, actually, I'm excusing myself. But she would kind of like, show down. I was like, oh, this person's cool. But he was like, you have really bad gas. And I was like, okay. And he was like, yeah, we recommend just like just like as many times as you can take,

but you can go home. Many times. Push it to the limit with tongue. That's my professional advice. Five, six. How many can you get in there? Just keep them going. I didn't even know that that was possible. But it was so painful. And I was like, are you sure? He was like, yeah, like there's nothing. I think maybe he did do an ultrasound. I mean, I was there a while.

That is one of those medical situations where you're like, well, I hope I die. I hope I die because you're wrong. And I hope I die and I hope you find out about it. It was brutal. Yeah. But she was so chill about it. We were like, OK, like, let's see each other again, which was nice.

But then the next week, I 100% had COVID. Like, I 100% got COVID in the hospital, like, no question. I think maybe she did too. So we just kind of like never saw each other again. How did the gas resolve? Yeah. I was in pain for days, but I found this amazing medication.

Called Tums? Cause then I went to the, it was Mylanta. You guys know about Mylanta? Yes. I see. We're spot, brought to you, this episode brought to you by Mylanta. What if any lesson did you take from this date that has carried you through to now?

Mylanta. Yeah, that'll do it. Yeah. Bad Dates. Bad Dates. And now finally, the man who not only has three podcasts, but two stories, could not, could not, can't do just one thing at a time. No, he's got to keep the plate spinning. It's Ronald Young Jr. Now, sir, I want to, before we get into both stories very quickly, because I know you have two, give us the lowdown, married, single, dating, what want to before we get into both stories very quickly, because I know you have to give us the lowdown married single dating.

What's the search? I am single recently out of a pretty long term relationship, but it did not. It did not work out. Still still love her, but it just we wanted different things. So navigating that now, but I'm not going to get on any apps. I'm not going to date or anything. I'm just out we wanted different things. So navigating that now, but I'm not gonna get on any apps. I'm not gonna date or anything. I'm just out here chilling right now. I'm gonna be career focused for the short term.

Yes, well, it sounds like you've got that on lock, my friend. Glued behind the mic forever, forever. I love that this is my thing now with you, Joel. It's like, this guy does podcasts. I mean, it's a lot. I can barely do one. So Ronald, tell us where the first story takes place in your life.

I am a black man. As if you're not viewing this podcast and you're listening, I'm a black person. So that's going to be, that's going to come into play later. But, uh, this takes place when I was about 20. I would know, actually this one takes place when I was about 31, I would say 31, 32, around then. Uh, and I had met this woman on Tinder,

one of the dating apps. Uh, it could have been Tinder, it could have been Bumble. We hit it off. We decide I live in the Washington DC area, we're going to go to Arlington and we're going to get some brunch. So we're like, okay, cool, we'll go over there, we'll get brunch. I found this like good spot. I was pretty excited. I get there on time, very excited. There's, you know, it's a nice little spot, it's very cute, all that.

She's a little late. So she gets there late and I noticed that there's a lot of families with kids and like, you know, young people, whatever. And the first thing that was kind of like a red flag for what could happen next was she walks in, she sees these people with kids and dogs and she's like, Oh my God, look at all the babies. I love the babies. And I was like, what was that?

She's just for, for people that need clarification. She's talking about the babies, babies, calling them. She calls him. And it's like one of those things where somebody, you know, we all have bits and we all say that word that means something else. Well, she's she says babies, but she commits to it in several other sentences in a way where I almost want to be like, we get it. OK, you're saying babies.

It is one of those things where like you really do have to establish your baseline vocal pattern before you can start shaking things up with baby. Yes. Right off the bat. Okay, thank you for articulating that because I didn't understand, I knew it frustrated me, but it was like, I want y'all to know who I am before I start being weird with y'all. Like, if you start weird first,

then you can't come back from weird. But if I start normal, I can always like dial up or down the weird. She was not matching your freak. She was overshooting her freak a little bit. Yes. She, right, wait, right over the top of my head. So we sit down and we start talking.

And you know, as a black guy, when I date, especially white women, I always want to know, have you dated other black guys? I want to know what we're talking about. Because the thing is, as a person of color, you don't want to be anyone's first, and you don't want to be anyone's first, and you don't want to be anyone's 40th.

Yep. Yep. Exactly. You want to be somewhere around. You don't want to be 101. You also don't want to be the PhD program either. Correct. Yes.

You want someone who's just kind of a novice. Not totally a novice, but maybe a little bit beyond novice. Like two, three, four, that's fine. They know enough. Just taking the intro classes. They know the names. They know the players. They know the terms.

Yes. They've at least audited the course. That's awesome. So I'm there, and I'm talking. And she says, yeah, no, they've at least audited the course. That's how it is. That's how it is. So I'm there and I'm talking and you know, she says, yeah, no, I've dated other black guys and like, yeah, you know, I'm like always been progressive my whole life. I've been, you know, forward thinking, all that. And in college, you know what I mean? Like I was so progressive doing stuff.

Like they used to call me an N word lover. And she says N word, hard R, y'all. Hard R. Hard R? Hard R, Joel. Hard R. called me an N word lover and she says N word hard R y'all. Hard R. Hard R. Hard R Joel, hard R. And I'm like, oh what. Oh no.

And I want to be clear here. If it was not a hard R, it's a lateral move. It's still dressed as bad, but in tension, it just hits the ear in a much more visceral way for anybody. That's so crazy. And she said this, and how did you, did you immediately leave the table or what happened?

I did not, like y'all would be proud of me. I'm sitting there and I heard it and it hit the way you would expect. Because again, like you said, doesn't matter who says the N word hard R, even other black people can say it. And it's still enough for alert to be like, what's going on?

What's that? So that happens. I sit there and I continue eating my waffle and chicken and I'm sitting there and I'm just like, I finish and I keep talking and I'm curious. I'm asking questions. I make sure I pay the check and leave a generous tip. you know, I finish and I keep talking and I'm curious, I'm asking questions. I make sure I pay the check and leave a generous tip. You know what I mean?

And as soon as I get into my car, I'm like, hey, I'm texting her, hey, this isn't gonna work out for me. Also, you should never use the N word hard R with any black person. It doesn't matter if you're describing anyway, that's highly inappropriate. You should never do that. She apologized and gave this like long text response back. And I never spoke to this woman again.

This is why you don't want to be the first. Thank you, Joel. That's exactly it. That's exactly what I want to do this. Now I'm terrified because you have a second story and I know it's thematically related. So I'm on the edge of my seat. Where does this story take place? So this, y'all are going to love this. So this is when I'm probably about 23 years old.

I'm 23 years old and I am looking for dates on Craigslist. Craigslist personal. Standing ovation. Oh my God. Craigslist Personals. Yes, standing ovation. Oh my God. Craigslist was a favorite of mine as well. Wow. Yes, RIP Craigslist Personals.

So I'm on there and I start talking to this woman and she is older than me. She's probably about 38 years old. Mind you, I'm 23. And this is very exciting for me as a 23 year old. I'm like, this is prime Cougarton. Like, I'm very excited. You're doing a reverse Leonardo DiCaprio.

It's amazing. It's great for gender equality. I love it. And that's why I did it, Joel, to be clear. That's exactly why I did it. Because you're a feminist. Yes, thank you. Thank you.

I really get seen. I appreciate that. So I'm talking to her. We're hitting it off. Like things are kind of going well. And then we start chatting and the chat starts getting spicy as we're like, texting back and forth.

We start talking on the phone. And at one point this very exciting thing happens. We're talking on the phone, talk is getting spicy. And she goes, where do you live? And she's like, I'm like, oh, this is amazing. She's like, I tell her where I live. She comes over. She comes over.

I'm not being catfish. Beautiful lady comes over. I let her in my apartment. Things start to happen. So things are happening. Things are happening and it's incredible. I'm having a great time. I do not have regrets about that portion of it.

We about to finish up. We're like finishing up and like not quite done, could go longer, but it was like in that kind of like gray area where we're kind of like doing stuff and kind of not kind of talking. You've hit all the positions and exactly. Yeah. So we're like, we could do more, but, or we could not. And so we're sitting there and we're kind of holding hands

and she get out of nowhere. Well, not out of nowhere because we're kind of chit chatting. She goes, you know what I think is so incredibly hot? She goes, my white skin against your black skin. No. And I'm like, no. Hey, yo fam. No.

I know. No. No. Joel. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Like there had been no, we hadn't gotten the black lives matter yet. We hadn't gotten the Trayvon Martin. We hadn't like those Zimmerman. None of that. I was still like, but none of the black squares had been posted yet. We hadn't solved it. Yeah. And I'm still like in that moment, I had no articulation to say, why?

I don't know. I just, this is creepy. So I- Because they presented as a compliment, and we're taught to believe that that's a compliment. You know, like it's, it's fucked up. Yeah, like immediate fetishization. And so I'm like, and I didn't even know the word fetishization back then, I can barely say it now.

But at the time, like I couldn't even say it. So I'm just like, at that point I decide I'm just gonna dis. I'm just like, at that point I decide I'm just going to disengage slowly and then like, you got to get home, don't you? You got to get on out of here. And yeah, we got her out of there and I never spoke to her again. Wait for the second lady. Did you know if you were her first or 40th or is that when you started asking that question?

Listen, man, this was 23. So I was still early in the game at that point. I didn't even know that that was I was still convinced that like we were living in MLK's dream at the time and that we were all, you know, moving towards it. But I don't know. Sometime after that, I became Malcolm X very quickly. We're just like, no, hold on. Bad Gates.
