Okay, the times come. Here we are again. This is Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown.

Thank you very much for listening today first things first i feel that i have

a mea copa to make those of you've been listening for the last couple weeks know i got some blowback over the

noamase episode people felt that I didn't ask him some questions that

needed to be asked. And consequently, I was accused of basically upholding rape culture. And I have a

defense mechanism when people accuse me of things,

especially that particular line of me not wielding my white male privilege

in a way that is socially just.

I get my back up a little, and that's what happened last week,

so I made a case for why I didn't

challenge Noah on these things and then I like broed out with an email. And I think some part of me

knew that if those people on Facebook listened to that, it was going to rile them up more. And that's what happened.

I riled them up even more. Instead of letting things lie, it stirred it up again. And ultimately,

I had some good conversations. I had a particularly good conversation with my friend Matthew

Remski, who's very sensitive to these matters and spends a lot of time

thinking about them and also had been in contact with the parties involved and actually

had information about it that I was not aware of. And frankly, I just think that I didn't,

I didn't do enough research.

I had read the original blog post, but was kind of disgusted by the vindictiveness in it.

And then I didn't really follow along after that.

And there were things that happened,

some actions that were taken.
