Yeah, what's up? Welcome to kind of funny games daily for Wednesday June 3, 2020. I'm one of your host blessing at Julia Jr

and joining me is Mary to the games Gabe Pettillo. Gabe, thank you so much for joining me in. Hey, thanks for having me, bro.

I appreciate it. It's awesome. It's awesome to have you back. Of course we had you in February as like kind of a random guest slot.

You're a in town. I hit you up and you're like, and I was like, Hey, just come on the show and you came through and it was a great time.

And I got to say like the response to having you on the show earlier in the year has been incredible. Like people love you.

Like everybody loves you. And so it's awesome. Awesome. Awesome to have you back. Well, I appreciate the text. When you text me the other day, I was like, Oh, yeah, you move around stuff to do that.

You know, yeah. Yeah. What's going on this week?

Exactly. And I actually want to start with with that. This is the question I've been asking everybody who's been on this week.

Because of course this week, kind of funny. It's been having black creators guests on kind of funny games daily in an effort to get black voices out there and get black voices heard on show, especially black content creators.

Because Lord knows me to be heard more.

A question I've been asking everybody. The question I want to ask you is, how have you been this last week? How's the last week been for you?

You know, it's, oh, man, that's a loaded question. You know, it's interesting. So for me personally, it's been a roller coaster. If I be a completely honest. And I mean, I feel like I've gone from like sad to numb to frustrated.

And then like, I feel like I've fallen these last couple of days on hopeful almost, which is weird. So I live in the South. And so racism is nothing new to us down here.

I'm in an interracial marriage. I've got three interracial babies. And so conversations around our house are mainly this.

And then I work for my regular job, his name's Toby Mac. And his whole thing has been about diversity, his whole, his whole career. And so this is probably 70% of what I talk about just on the regular.

And so what was interesting this last week was obviously you see, you see all these deaths that have happened this year. And it, it saddens you. Right. And then you see the pros testing happen. And you're like, okay.

And then, and then like my wife, especially if she felt like she was getting gilted by other people like if you don't say something, you part of the problem. She's like, well, you know, you know, and she felt like she was getting gilted in this way.

And that made me frustrated because I was like, what, what are y'all just getting here? Like, what's going on? You know, that was a frustrated part of me kind of going on. Yeah.

And then like, you know, as it goes and you're watching more and more people, I remember hearing you talk about like seeing the kind of funny best friends like come together and donate and stuff like that. And you start feeling like really hopeful for the whole situation.

You're like, wait a second. Kind of like this COVID and coronavirus thing has really sat us down and made us look in the mirror a little longer than I think we usually do during our busy in America lives. You know what I'm saying?

I feel like I've run the game. That's been such an interesting thing about this conversation because I'm totally with you as far as the roller coaster. It's been and kind of feeling the hopeful side of it as far as seeing people on social media actually speak out and seeing people donate.

Yeah, seeing people rights to the cause. But at the same time, right? Like you mentioned like the in this moment, right? Seeing people gilted into saying something. And it's one of those things where I'm with you as far as like this conversation is a conversation that's been ongoing my whole life because people as people who are watching the video version of the video version.
