0:00.0	Before we get into all the stories of the day, we were just talking about why some people
0:16.0	might consider math to be racist.
0:18.2	I suppose I could Google it, but it feels like a waste of my finger muscles to Google that.
0:23.2	It's like, why should math ever be considered racist?
0:26.9	I don't know. I was with some friends over the weekend and one of them, she's Chinese
0:31.9	and she was saying how as a Chinese Taiwanese American, she has a three-year-old, she's
0:36.6	feel like my daughter is not good enough at math because if you're fully Asian, you should

1:18.2	So we need to start like Jay, send your feces around every now and then and maybe we'll
1:24.7	get a little better at math.
1:25.7	Yeah, you guys are going to get one and a half year ahead.
1:28.7	We still can't get rid of our white, slimy blood, but it's direct from the source. So you
1:34.1	get directly from the source.
1:35.8	Maybe we can make that promise to all podcast subscribers to like an NFT sort of thing.
1:42.5	I just have to make sure I have Taco Bells every day.
