| 0:00.0 | Okay, hello everyone. Not sure how long this is going to be or really what this is even going to be, but given what a heavy couple of weeks it's been, we really didn't put much thought into what we would do by way of an episode. A lot of places are not doing episodes or putting out limited things so as to not come off as a bunch of goofballs during a very sensitive time. |
| 0:26.1 | But I think that a lot of, like Pete, you and I have had conversations this past week that we haven't had. |
| 0:32.9 | And I think that a lot of white people, we're both white, have had conversations that they hadn't |
| 0:39.9 | had. And what's been really impressed upon me over these past couple of weeks is that's important. |
| 0:48.0 | You got obviously white folks like us have to be listening to our black loved ones and doing |
| 0:53.8 | everything we can to |
| 0:55.0 | try to make this world a better place. But a big part of that is having difficult conversations |

| 1:41.5 | that there's work to be done and that we're not where we should be |
| 1:45.3 | or where we need to be as a country. But I also think that it's important to not be so vocal |
| 1:53.3 | where you're not letting other people speak and you're not hearing other people. |
| 1:58.2 | Yeah, and that's been, I think, been a difficult thing that I've observed, |
| 2:02.4 | where we don't know how to do this. We, it's been, it's very clear that we do not know how to do this. |
| 2:10.8 | We, we don't know how to do this. And I think that we've always understood, or I guess, |
| 2:17.0 | for a lot of our adult lives understood that, |
