note but we are excited about cultural artifacts part two we're going to give our last five the second half of our list if you are just tuning in as a reminder cultural artifacts are the things that moved us in a giving year we do this every single year we give 10 things that moved us from each of our perspectives but it is not things that the

twist is it doesn't have to come out in 2022 we just had to have consumed it or interacted with it in 2022 and I have to be honest with you Jamal I think all a

minor from 2022 was a very interesting year so I have so much I have like 30 35 things but I kind of paired it down to tennis which I'll talk about

you know it's over here that long because we each get five so we got a couple honorable mentions all right all right okay so do you want to go but what you had last time bro your your five for the culture

or thing in cultural artifacts part one I had to do a couple pop culture references the first was the Taylor Swift album midnight so yeah yeah you have to climb me about it just don't worry about it it's been covered the other one was the movie

prey the next one was the slap with Chris Rock and Will Smith the other one was the January 6th committee and last and hauntingly not least was white Christian nationalism what did you give us

like white Christian nationalism so funny to me so mine my first five were the movie note by Jordan Pugh the album The Family by Red Handsman the TV show The Bear on FX Dilla time by Dan Charnes the book and the movie Violet Davis exclusive the woman King

King okay so we got five ish more left and so Jay take it away with your first one in your second half of the list on cultural artifacts okay so the first one I kind of cheated a little bit I have a general category

and there's a couple things in that category but I'll be quick so for me the first cultural artifacts are specific apps apps on my phone

apps that I have become an avid consumer and user of this is interesting we've never had an app before so you're right there yeah okay so that's what I do Pioneer right here so the first one y'all can just you can you can climb me whatever to be like dude what took you so long finally whatever the audible app do you have this time yeah

okay so my I'm sure the audible audible is all audible and I are on a first name basis we got to understand it we got a secret ass shape we've been boys we've been down since like you know like four flat since I don't know like 20 2011

so here's the bro here's the thing I had the Kindle app and you can do text to speech so that's what I've done most of the time until there was an update a while ago that made it much much harder much more complicated or maybe I just missed how to do it again so for the longest time I just didn't have it why because the subscription to audible it's like 1499 a month or something like I already got all these streaming services I already got all these monthly whatever's I don't think

I want to dive into this yet because I don't even know if I like it well finally I did and I can't remember what was the first book or or or why I finally took the plunge but since then and this is only probably halfway maybe maybe in the summer of 2022 I've read like 10 books via audible

some of the outstanding ones were shoe dog by Phil Knight the founder of Nike

and like you got some sense by Jamie Foxx was really good I do I do bios and memoirs you can see and then what was the one oh right of a lifetime by Bob Eiger who is the exactly does the CEO of Disney yeah so that's just a few of them so audible has been awesome mostly for those bios and memoirs send me your recommendations
