0:00.0 | Hey Michael Steel Podcast listeners, Michael Steel here with another quick take from the |
0:12.5 | Michael Steel Podcast. Check out what's going on right now. |
0:16.9 | Welcome back everybody to Michael Steel Podcast. We got Roy Wood Jr. in the house, Emmy nominated |
0:22.5 | comedian, he's part-spotted on and writer and producer, radio personality, the daily show, he's all |
0:32.8 | those things. Roy I wanted to play a clip about how you kind of lean into some conversations that can be a |
0:41.5 | little bit prickly when you get into areas around race and talking with maybe an audience that |
0:46.9 | are this largely a bunch of white folks. Let's take a listen to how you kind of talk about |
