00:00:27.000
the unbelievably intelligent reb mazel can't tell you enough how much i love you i'm only on just
00:00:36.080
to meet you i'm just i'm leaving in five minutes i'm honored well and i'm getting an episode out
00:00:40.320
of it so thank you i appreciate you i mean when millions of people online want something i want
00:00:44.380
it more i get it so i'm better than them so yep exactly i want to return the sentiment huge fan
00:00:50.640
you and i have been yep online besties for a minute absolutely we've been locked in for a while i think
00:00:55.740
we've been when we became mutuals i shit my pants i think everyone in my group chat all my gays in
00:01:00.440
dallas were like you're lying you're fucking joking like where where can you text her right now i'm
00:01:04.620
like well that's not really how it works but i remember it was like 2021 i think when you were
00:01:10.540
it was like all your videos both of our videos were like a little blurry now when you look at them
00:01:14.320
right so fucking old you look and you're like yeah you're like oh and both of our voices too i
00:01:19.140
realized we i don't know if our balls dropped through throughout this process we are let's talk about
00:01:24.200
it let's talk about it let's talk about it because when bowman was on i told bowman too i'm like
00:01:28.900
something humiliating about looking at my past ones is because since i was a journalism student and i did
00:01:33.540
broadcast journalism in my major i had a really really mean fucking professor who told me that i
00:01:40.300
should change the tenor of my voice like i should try to raise the octave of it when i'm on camera because
00:01:46.000
it's more appealing because it sounds more feminine so i was like no for sure for sure for sure when she
00:01:51.980
told me i was pissed but i was like i need to graduate and i'm taking that degree with me and
00:01:55.420
she hated me so she was like looking for reasons to not let me pass and so i was i would literally
00:02:00.660
sound like mickey mouse when i watch them back i'm like ew because that's my voice sits at a lower
00:02:06.300
register naturally so does yours yeah no it makes no sense because the i feel like almost the exact
00:02:11.560
opposite was kind of pitched to us through law school lawyering whatever is you oh you don't want to
00:02:17.080
sound like a woman the moment it comes out of a woman's mouth no one's gonna believe it all for the
00:02:20.740
same reasons which is right yeah i mean listen look and listen uh and i think my voice got deeper
00:02:27.680
just out of probably spite too because i like oh i'm sure i like making men uncomfortable and when
00:02:32.580
i'm taller and my voice is deeper that's a crazy one-two punch in a courtroom that's wild for them
00:02:38.380
to have to face right crazy town and then they're going home to a divorce and a kid who hasn't spoken
00:02:43.780
to them in two months i'm like yeah that's just the circle yeah so if i'm gonna talk like this then
00:02:48.860
i'm gonna talk like this if that makes them pissed but your voice is higher in your old ones yeah yeah
00:02:53.300
like mine i'm like this yeah that's how it sounds i hate it i'm i'm like this i'm like how the fuck
00:02:59.000
did y'all follow me this is not asmr like y'all like do an audiobook not with that no chance well i'd
00:03:07.940
love to know how you got on tiktok like what made you want to start joining start making content like
00:03:12.440
everything horrible i think kay said this in your last episode you know shitty life circumstance the
00:03:18.120
most stressed ever been in my life the most physically mentally ill and then my little sister
00:03:23.700
bullying me which you know always makes me do something she's like you need to get on tiktok
00:03:28.280
right but i remember in early days early days love um the video that i posted that was like the viral
00:03:36.500
one for lawyer related things is i was in my lawyer fit outfit whatever and i made a tiktok
00:03:42.720
and a bunch of the comment you know i have the comments were like oh my god yay you know a girl
00:03:47.980
is in law i'm like we're here oh god i'm like we've been here yeah and then a bunch of men you
00:03:52.840
know boys whoever yelling at me and i started responding to them easily i think one of them said
00:03:58.620
oh you know wouldn't it be it's it would be a travesty if you know a woman judge was the one to
00:04:03.940
decide your fate and i think i responded and said well didn't your mom decide your fate when she
00:04:09.360
decided not to abort you yeah and jury's still out on whether that was the right choice right like i
00:04:13.980
don't know based off this interaction i'm gonna lean towards no i'm gonna lean towards absolutely
00:04:18.100
not yeah and so then you know things just kept i kept posting my bullshit the same as we always do
00:04:24.100
and yeah yeah here we are and obviously been inspired by also so many other people on the platform i
00:04:30.500
think a lot of people talk about you know when you're viral you have a following or whatnot
00:04:34.760
how it started but i think what kept it going yeah honestly instead of just saying okay you i mean
00:04:41.500
there's always a point i don't know how it was for you where you were like okay if this went away
00:04:46.100
tomorrow i wouldn't really give a fuck right or like oh like sometimes you wake up and you're like
00:04:49.240
ah i don't want to do this anymore yeah um like what kept you on it right like what kept you doing it
00:04:55.680
and for me it was all of the other people on the app including you who were in their own power and in
00:05:03.200
their own individualism who were doing the damn thing no matter what it was whether it be like
00:05:08.700
shitting on men online or doing their fucking worms they're get ready with me's you know and looking
00:05:13.640
great doing it yeah uh i was like yeah like if if someone's gonna represent this culture this
00:05:20.920
profession or this sense of humor i guess i can be one of them that's fine um and hopefully
00:05:25.800
amplify the voices that matter too in this space um but yeah and also it's just fun just funny and
00:05:31.220
fun well it was very apparent to me at in the beginning other than you being a lawyer because
00:05:34.980
i didn't need to know that to know that you're fucking smart and i told k this too i love a smart
00:05:39.200
bitch oh i love a bitch who's smart and i love a bitch who's eloquent and can talk fast and
00:05:44.360
use big words that's my type of shit yeah that's my bitch and it's you that's why i think you
00:05:49.400
love k2 the same way i do because we're all twins really the three of us oh i love her down i love
00:05:55.960
that so much and you know men too it's like i love when when really cool stunning beautiful women
00:06:02.760
unassuming women just eat the fuck out of a sentence just chew on every word every vowel and
00:06:08.960
the men in the comments are misspelling the word rhetoric like they can't even fucking breathe yeah
00:06:14.440
they're just shook their favorite words yeah and or also you know they they comment and they're like
00:06:19.120
oh you know she's all beauty no brains i'm like well you've been living with neither and we
00:06:23.360
haven't we've left you you're doing okay right yeah you're still breathing you're still logging on
00:06:28.000
yeah yeah i don't yeah i don't typically get the beautiful ones what personally i don't typically
00:06:33.600
get the well sometimes i do i and they make me more mad than regular hate that was gonna be my next
00:06:39.000
question is like how has it been dealing with hate because i feel like you get similar hate to me
00:06:42.560
because we're like existing in the same neighborhood on tiktok uh kind of come across the same shit but
00:06:47.280
of yeah we from men mostly we're right and we stand on business and right yeah like i don't want to be
00:06:53.440
right all the time it's daunting they make it so easy they make it so easy and also it's like it's
00:06:59.060
like it's not that i mean it's not that hard to be this right you know i mean like you can just read
00:07:03.640
a fucking like read a book open google one like dead ass i did one of my first like i would say like
00:07:10.940
when i was building it like and i was doing videos like every fucking day there was always like
00:07:14.700
someone new to pick on uh man miss it sometimes yeah and then tiktok was like you can't bully
00:07:20.440
people anymore yeah yeah like the straight alt-right oh yeah then they snared me because they gave me
00:07:26.760
that blue check mark and then they were like actually you're not allowed to do this anymore
00:07:29.900
and i was like well fuck perfect yeah what am i you guys clip my wings now what am i supposed to do
00:07:33.940
yep um there was a guy that the you know they love circulating pseudoscience as if it's fact and
00:07:39.280
then they talk about like pair bonding and then i was like do you guys know we're pair bonding like
00:07:43.640
does anyone know where that comes from because i me thinks no yeah uh it comes from fucking birds
00:07:49.040
so like yeah bird brains and human brains different because their whole thing was that women shouldn't
00:07:55.680
sleep with more people because their pair bonding skills get damaged well good news she's not a bird
00:08:01.120
yeah we didn't worry about that great news and what's crazy too is that the pair bonding
00:08:04.840
psychology in birds that they noticed was that female birds would link up with ones that would
00:08:11.040
carry on their strongest like genetics so like and you are the fourth and you're not getting picked
00:08:16.940
in that world either in that in the world of birds you're also getting left behind you're not
00:08:20.880
even employee of the month at gamestop that's crazy people are getting picked over you for that
00:08:25.240
yeah if you were a bird you'd be ignored please you'd be ignored so how has it how has it been
00:08:32.060
because you're obviously you're a working woman too yep so how has it been when you started growing
00:08:37.020
your like platform online how was that kind of melding with your professional world yeah i mean
00:08:41.960
it i've kept it super separate which is good which yeah and i've taken strides to do that which i think
00:08:48.360
that people do have this idea that oh if you're gonna be or hold yourself out to be a professional
00:08:53.540
online or you know your day job online then it's just you automatically need to cross those worlds
00:08:58.880
and do a day in the life and you know have me in your boss's office like doing a doing a fucking
00:09:03.820
story time like that no like i don't do that i don't have anyone in my videos for a reason i don't
00:09:08.700
want people to connect where i work or who i work with whatever and with the cases that i'm on
00:09:13.280
and i got an a in ethics bitch i know how this lawyer started to go i'm there like well isn't this
00:09:18.180
privilege isn't this confident whatever i'm like y'all are morons no uh first of all y'all are dumb
00:09:23.320
as hell yeah um media literacy is gone exactly and gone and so it's been great because it didn't
00:09:31.500
i've never been recognized by a judge that has been hearing my case or like lawyers across that
00:09:38.840
like opposing counsel before um maybe one time potentially when it was a younger girl who kind
00:09:44.500
of looked at me weird and then just didn't say anything and i don't think they would have yeah but
00:09:49.280
a lot of people in my office i mean one of my first days oh god i almost i almost peed my pants
00:09:53.280
my first days at one of my new firms i get you know i'm literally being set up like quite literally
00:09:58.060

00:11:00.080
shocked the number of clowns that are in this field great ones and bad ones i mean you first thing i
00:11:05.900
learned when i went into this field is 80 of us are really dumb which is fine but you know someone's
00:11:11.800
got which is probably the case for most professions exactly quite honest with you i was thinking about
00:11:15.780
the other day i was like you never walk into a doctor's office and go you know what rank were
00:11:20.820

00:12:22.100
talking about it for the next 10 years yeah you have to that's your culture uh-huh yeah that's my
00:12:25.840
culture um and then yeah i came home i quite literally got home and it was the start of my
00:12:30.380
senior year of of college and my roommate talia came home with lsat books and i was like oh i
00:12:35.960
should probably think about thinking about my career and shit i was thinking i was just gonna
00:12:39.760
keep going to school yeah i mean i was gonna like go to grad school whatever get my master's in history
00:12:44.120
or some shit and i she said yeah you should just take the lsat so i did and it worked out i got a
00:12:48.840
scholarship based on the lsat score because that gpa i was not i need to okay look at you so yeah that's how
00:12:55.240
it worked out and i don't have family who are lawyers i don't have any like legal background
00:13:01.240
other than that before law school and everyone around you is well my dad you know best plaintiff's
00:13:07.080
attorney in the in la county oh well i've worked at a firm for 10 years that's also nepotism right
00:13:11.920
exactly oh exactly i'm happy for you oh yeah yeah amazing perfect like congratulations congratulations
00:13:17.460
you still dress like shit like you still that suit still doesn't fit your fucking shoulders like
00:13:21.740
be fucking serious listening to people chirp about how they have a better chance of doing
00:13:26.240
better in law school because they you know have all this stuff and then you get to law school and
00:13:29.980
you they tell you oh it's anonymous grading first of all and 100 of your grade is the final and it's
00:13:36.020
like four hours and it's half multiple choice half essay uh and that's that's it and you're curved
00:13:40.900
you're curved against everyone in your class uh good fucking luck only 10 people are allowed to get
00:13:46.520
a's and i started getting a's and all the people who were loud as hell started getting real quiet
00:13:50.760
by the end of the year so yeah so if you want to go to law school and you don't have any legal
00:13:54.820
background you can still do it and be fine and be my god yeah really good at it do you feel like
00:14:00.300
you found your calling being a lawyer yes i'd love that definitely i think that's incredible
00:14:04.080
yours hell yeah yeah yeah you know what's funny is like when i was in college i thought about doing
00:14:10.580
law but more specifically entertainment law like i was like i feel like i could really get in there
00:14:14.940
more specifically because i was thinking and we have this in common too our dads used to play
00:14:19.180
sports professionally yeah my dad was an nfl player for a minute and yours was an nba player
00:14:23.580
yeah which is why you're also a tall queen like me yep i love that yeah definitely i mean right now
00:14:28.320
reb's taller than me which is rare and we both have huge shoes on so there's that but right now her
00:14:32.700
shoes are higher than mine so she's taller than me which is crazy yep i love that i love it i know
00:14:36.800
we're both gonna be fucked with our feet in like 10 20 years like on on i'm god people be like oh my
00:14:42.820
god you're wearing four inch heels in court i'm like i need to be intimidating and i know i love
00:14:46.820
being tall i love it so much i love it i used to hate it when i was younger but that was my
00:14:51.000
internalized misogyny and then once i let that go i was like i love being tall so now i always wear
00:14:55.700
platforms or heels always always yeah but i just know shit's gonna get real crazy but thank god i'm
00:15:01.740
like i'm look i'm not a foot model like i'm not selling you know i'm not showing my feet for free
00:15:05.120
on the ground so i figure i'll be fine whatever but we have uh such similar origin stories but i think i
00:15:12.180
went into i was thinking about entertainment law because my dad kind of got dicked on his deals
00:15:16.960
and so i was thinking i was like i'd love to be a a lawyer for athletes who are like fighting for
00:15:22.880
the athlete as opposed to like for the organization yeah so that's kind of kind of what i entertained
00:15:27.320
and i also love school yes wait what sign are you a sagittarius okay violently sad yeah i'm a sag rising
00:15:34.460
okay and both my mom and sister are both stages i have fire women all in my life love that love that
00:15:39.280
for us but i think once i found out i was like oh wait journalism gets me more attention yep i'm
00:15:46.600
gonna do that absolutely absolutely what gets me looked at the most being on camera i'm gonna do
00:15:51.860
that 100 but i still went into sports because i felt like you know i think looking back i'm like
00:15:57.600
oh i could redeem my dad and like still make a name for us turns out they don't want either of us
00:16:01.540
there they said hey get the hell out of here both of your yeah they said what's your last name
00:16:06.280
fired yeah bitch man no that's when i got fired my dad was like man they really don't want us in
00:16:12.400
there yeah at all and fired generational generational hate that's what we like to call that sometimes i
00:16:19.320
think when bad shit happens to me like that where i'm like that's just weird you know for something
00:16:23.740
bad like that to happen twice you have a mormon side of your family and i have a mormon side of my
00:16:28.260
family i'm not mormon she's i'm like don't like don't all freak out on me like whatever but i think
00:16:32.880
you know listen native american curses i believe in that shit and they had every right and every
00:16:37.120
reason i've seen holes bitch all right she listen like they curse and it and it stays it stays and i
00:16:42.720
know for a fact that every time anytime i get a flat tire anytime you know something happens to me
00:16:47.740
that happened to my mother like a month before i'm like you know what this is just what this is what
00:16:51.960
we're owed this is the karma that we were given 150 years ago when we were not in our own business
00:16:58.040
in the fucking american west right and that's fair so the nfl was was telling you basically listen girl
00:17:04.200
this is the worst that could happen yeah they were saying you want to be a part of this
00:17:08.000
this gentrifying system just kidding yeah yeah no for real yeah you're gonna be rich and famous get
00:17:12.840
the fuck out though yeah we're gonna cry right now we're gonna make you cry i've said before like i
00:17:17.220
think i always believe like my that's my ancestors when i'm not listening they got to do something
00:17:21.580
crazy yeah so like and because i'm someone who loves school i loved like being the best at things
00:17:27.280
that's like when people ask me like how did you get past this like male validation thing my validation
00:17:31.940
has never come from men it's almost always come from me being better than anyone at anything
00:17:36.680
competitive yeah like any fault exactly and i got that from my father you probably got it from your
00:17:40.900
fuck like i actually got mine from my mom okay incredible i love that my dad is so like whatever
00:17:46.280
yeah everything my my dad is not my dad's never i mean wiffle ball games i have scars like that

yeah yeah have it have fun with that have fun with that bitch so how does how does your man feel
00:22:24.080
about your presence on tiktok i get that question all the time i know right big crazy that man and
00:22:29.340
that's the thing too is i'm like y'all are over here i'm the amount of dms that i have from men all the
00:22:35.800
time right who would do anything to suck my toe yeah are still in the same vein being like well how could
00:22:42.920
that man ever be okay with like your president lent it i'm like yeah no there are men out there who
00:22:47.120
are stable and normal and who literally are my biggest fucking he is my biggest fucking fan and
00:22:52.220
that's saying a lot because some of my fans are fucking insane right he will tell me things i said
00:22:57.180
in a video or on a podcast that i'm like i don't even remember that shit and he's over here quoting
00:23:01.340
it to people he's sending people links he's so yeah he couldn't be more jazzed about the i saw your
00:23:07.380
video about the what was it he made me a connection yeah yeah because he has to yeah and everyone so
00:23:12.820
sweet he has to go into a uh like a skiff seif like uh you know like a high security like basically
00:23:18.520
like a black box you can't even bring airpods into those like it's very um tight yeah yeah so you can't
00:23:24.240
have your phone in there anything and so you can't text me during the day at work so he would email me
00:23:28.660
like connections games that he made and everyone immediately was like so you're dating a cop i'm
00:23:33.080
like have you met me i'm like in what fucking universe i'm like a cop baby no like absolutely
00:23:38.680
not i'm sorry smart enough to do that not smart enough to do that and also also also the idea that
00:23:43.260
a cop wouldn't be allowed to be on the phone baby what if they couldn't be on their phone who's
00:23:46.980
going to be texting nurses and playing fucking playing fucking wordle or whatever the fuck all day
00:23:51.460
like no those men are on their fucking phone grabbing their vest not doing anything yeah pulling up to
00:23:55.980
yeah taking four hours to pull up to a burglary to say i don't know what to tell you like fucking
00:24:01.140
be serious he's not a fucking cops aren't smart enough to make those no no no no come on now
00:24:06.200
relax calm down we fucking lax yeah they're too busy getting all c's in high school no that's truly
00:24:11.500
that's the reason why i asked too is because that's such a thoughtful sweet thing and like anytime
00:24:18.040
women like us talk about having male partners who who do thoughtful things it's always like a
00:24:24.400
a game of assumptions after that it's like well it's probably because well it's probably just to
00:24:29.340
like undermine it because it makes them feel some type of way so i was curious i figured you get shit
00:24:33.640
like that too oh yeah that's why i never i mean that's the first time that i'd ever even commented
00:24:38.700
about your relationship yeah relationships because i've dated i mean i have stories yeah i have stories
00:24:44.220
i've dated men through this whole tiktok you know for the last like five years whatever
00:24:49.200
who i could and i know every day they wake up in a cold fucking sweat thinking this is the day
00:24:54.940
she's gonna drop a part 50 part series yeah shit right i've dated i dated like a semi-famous
00:25:00.840
currently unemployed because we love that actor um who was not talented at all but god he was rich
00:25:07.520
listen i was like a talent right right man did he have money uh man man was his dad for something
00:25:14.640
yeah man did his dad die right yeah really you really nailed that one you hit that shit so hard
00:25:21.200
nice work um and he yeah and i he did crazy shit to me whatever and i you go through my tiktok
00:25:26.840
during that time never would have known and i want to keep i like to keep it that way because
00:25:30.980
people again they are get so loud about everything yeah nothing about but it is nice when
00:25:37.440
you share little things like that like oh no they just unconditionally are obsessed with me or
00:25:43.160
you right no they just know how how to do this and no they're not trying to get anything out of me
00:25:48.260
they simply want me to be happy yeah imagine that imagine that yeah it's crazy how that works
00:25:54.640
crazy how that works especially because you don't um your content isn't centered on relationships or
00:26:00.040
even really your personal life at all so like i feel like that's another thing when they're like
00:26:04.320
what because i love when they in the beginning i would love when they would write things like
00:26:09.400
oh well that's right you're a single because then i'm like i'm gonna clock five million views off
00:26:13.360
this thank you team thank you appreciate it that's the thing too is what pisses me off is the fact
00:26:17.440
that my block list looks like the january 6 attendance sheet yeah because after a while right after a
00:26:23.500
while they stopped coming in like i don't get hate comments really anymore and i miss them i miss
00:26:28.380
something a lot because i'm like man come back i want y'all to pull up because it was kind of fun
00:26:32.200
we made such a great team right i never yeah i'm like we made such a routine and i also i tell people
00:26:36.640
to say i'm like i to this day i have not read a comment that has actually got like that has really
00:26:40.720
gotten to me all of it is like i've heard worse things from better men always right right um and
00:26:45.760
i'm a lawyer you don't think i've heard this shit from my own fucking client like you don't think
00:26:49.020
that i've heard the crazy shit exactly and i so i always am hoping to be proven wrong one day
00:26:53.460
like to open up a comment go you know what they got me guys yeah it got me girl yeah i i've only
00:26:58.560
said the one that i've gotten and it was a random barb stan account on twitter so i know it wasn't a
00:27:04.660
straight man i'll tell you that right fucking now i know that for a fact that i wasn't a straight man
00:27:08.360
but no yeah if you ever get roasted you do like only straight men are allowed to roast me and it
00:27:13.040
won't be funny if it were the gays i'd be like okay here are tissues babe you're gonna get shit on
00:27:17.200
you're gonna be fucked well my thing too is like even that when i told that story
00:27:23.360
i've told that story on interviews and stuff and like those clips have gone viral on tiktok so now
00:27:27.840
when some new dude finds me and he they start referencing the insult i told everyone about
00:27:34.200
i'm like you're taking shit from me too and and also taking shit from probably a gay person like
00:27:38.660
everything even i said you just can't do anything without me you can't even just can't do anything
00:27:42.540
you can't even think of i'm not even kidding two days ago i got tagged in a like an edit of me
00:27:48.720
with caleb heron on my show the first time he was on my show and it was like an edit of us being
00:27:54.260
funny but i was telling him about being called the pot of greed thing and then they were just like
00:27:58.760
photoshopping it over my face whenever i said pot of greed yeah oh my god the comments acting like
00:28:04.640
that was the funniest thing they've ever seen in their lives i'm like you and there it's all an
00:28:08.780
it's always crazy how it's such an echo chamber because most of those people who think that shit is
00:28:13.360
funny after it's like no i was making fun of myself you didn't yeah yeah you're not in on the
00:28:17.220
joke with assholes and the person who told the joke is probably like give me a yeah give me a cut of
00:28:21.320
that revenue the fuck like are you joking for real um but it's like they're all all of you are samples
00:28:25.920
like all of you are just copies of one another screaming at one another and i've heard and also
00:28:32.220
like in the comment section not a single drag that's funny after that on top of that it was it's
00:28:36.420
just nope the one drag that you stole from me that i told you about none of you can come up with
00:28:40.860
anything better yeah you're just circle jerking and yeah just circle jerking in here and i'm like
00:28:44.700
i've i've heard literally better roasts from a 12 year old girl in fourth grade like running a
00:28:50.240
fucking clay volcano project you know what i mean like they could probably drag me harder yeah young
00:28:55.740
women are mean as fuck dude like it's it's also too like i've been dragged worse by my friends like
00:29:00.920
people who love me yes people who actually love me have been meaner to me than that yeah um which is
00:29:06.380
crazy my husband ethan and i said something rude i think like time we were out or something and he
00:29:10.440
looked at me looked down slowly and said bold thing to say in an open toe shoe you're like oh
00:29:17.240
fuck okay well first of all fuck you okay fuck i'm like the sharpie on my big toe like that i'm trying
00:29:23.040
to fill in right because i didn't get a pedicure that wasn't enough for you he's like he's like yeah
00:29:27.180
i can tell yeah you know what's funny is i i'm branching into acting and stuff now and as you said
00:29:34.200
i was talking to my hair and makeup artist who's also my cousin adam and i was like it was uh we
00:29:41.000
were glamming and i was telling him about something i was working on and i was like you know what i
00:29:44.720
was thinking of though i was like what if i have to do like kissing scenes something about that is
00:29:49.000
giving me hives i don't know what it is but like acting and pretending to be in love with someone
00:29:52.940
well like i'll do it for money too but like fuck you know what i mean and i will do it i'm just having
00:29:59.800
a hard time imagining myself doing it because men make me sick to my stomach so that's why i'm like
00:30:04.520
oh hold on touch oh man touch me oh yes i'm like waking up in a cold sweat and i'm telling him i'm
00:30:09.020
like what am i even gonna do like i'm having this irrelevant conversation that has not it's not based
00:30:12.600
in reality at all it's truly an irrelevant fear and then he interrupted me after i was rambling for
00:30:17.760
like 20 minutes and then he goes okay first of all it's like 4 a.m so calm down and second of all
00:30:22.760
you're not getting any rolls right now so i don't know what you're worried about and i said oh right
00:30:27.960
right right right okay i'll i'll shut the fuck up yeah i'll shut the fuck up no that's a valid
00:30:34.160
and he loves me yeah that's my friend that's my brother yeah that's like i'm honestly i'm praying
00:30:40.080
for you in the event that happens that it's a role where you can kiss a girl like how easy would that
00:30:45.120
be right fucking easy that's what i was like or make me a villain or make you a villain make me make
00:30:49.420
me a villain maybe make me fucking thanos in the next marvel series i mean you have to talk to enough
00:30:53.040
bitchless bums online you could probably emulate one too make me someone make me evil make me like
00:30:58.100
a loki like like an evil like that you end up loving eventually exactly i think that's in the
00:31:03.120
stars for me yes what about what's in the stars for you oh you're coming out with a book yes i'm
00:31:08.020
coming out with a book can you please tell us about it yeah it's going to be called uh the book they
00:31:12.060
throw at you um which is essentially me a sarcastic lawyer's guide to the unholy chaos of the legal
00:31:18.580
field which is basically um you know i want to i almost i want to say it's like chicken soup for
00:31:24.780
the soul but but like not like that no that's it's not gonna help it's not gonna really make
00:31:29.240
you feel well it's gonna make you laugh that's for fucking sure but it's also gonna just in a
00:31:32.960
combination of just teaching you just the baseline of what i think every k through 12 kids should
00:31:38.700
know about their miranda rights and and um what and interacting with police and all that and also
00:31:43.820
just just the craziness that is the legal field and the funny stories that i exactly what i tell
00:31:48.840
on like my podcast or on my tiktok and crazy cases but it's kind of all lumped together in sections that
00:31:54.800
make sense you know like the same as chicken soup for the soul how it's like there's a section on
00:31:58.500
death and it's like all these great inspirational stories it's the same thing it's there's a section
00:32:01.920
on death except it's about you know a farmer who had a had a tractor run over him and then he wrote
00:32:08.180
in blood his will on the side that said all to my wife love cecil if he wanted to he would
00:32:12.660
um and how that was a valid will they like ripped the fender off and like went and put it into court
00:32:18.060
and they were like yeah valid will um another like some some some anecdotes about being a woman in the
00:32:23.200
in this field and how it is navigating that and the types of harassment yeah that i that we've had
00:32:28.900
to deal with um but yeah so overall it's funny and uh the court transcripts are in there which is
00:32:35.500
great the funny ones yeah they love that series for me i know they love that one and it's probably like
00:32:40.740
what you were saying earlier which is it's shocking to hear how people really are like it's almost
00:32:45.980
people's rawest versions of themselves yeah courtroom and people think i mean i understand why because i
00:32:51.400
didn't really know any of this either before i got into the field but i'm like no like regular people
00:32:56.020
are in the law more than like those stuck-up lawyers who do you think we represent yeah who do
00:33:01.400
you think's following all these lawsuits who do you think is you know being accused of these crimes
00:33:05.160
whatever like of course people are gonna say the most the craziest shit craziest shit in court and
00:33:10.100
of course the craziest shit's gonna fucking happen yeah like i mean people what's like a crazy case
00:33:14.300
that you've experienced or been on i'm like i mean do you have four hours like every day i encounter
00:33:20.000
someone i mean there was a case where um a woman a girl i mean she was in her 20s but she god i
00:33:27.960
loki kind of loved her yeah she grave robbed her own mother to prove a point nice which i can respect
00:33:35.560
in in certain ways right and i was at the point where i was like this vengeance goes past it exactly
00:33:40.780
she was like no the ring that i was supposed to get in the will is the one that looked like mom's
00:33:45.240
and mom's was buried with hers and we never got a photo of it and no one fucking believes me
00:33:48.860
everyone's gaslighting me about what this fucking ring looks like so when she pulled up with it in court
00:33:52.700
we were like where'd you get that exact replica where did you get that actually she was like i
00:34:00.260
just got it right what do you want and then we found out you know yeah no she she grave robbed
00:34:05.160
the fuck out of her mom which you know what if her mom raised her to be petty i would if that were
00:34:10.420
me if i was the mom i'd be like you know what yeah you did you you weren't out of that fucking
00:34:13.860
you know what you earned it yeah you fucking earned it you fucking earned it you take that shit golem
00:34:18.540
you know what i mean that is yours you keep you keep that queen you earned it you keep it how was
00:34:23.820
the book writing process for you like how did you oh god i mean how was yours it was interesting it was
00:34:30.920
very different and then it was tedious most times yeah it's just a lot of back and forth yeah and yeah
00:34:36.940
i i mean it's good it's a lot of it a lot of research because a lot of things i mean listen i don't
00:34:43.340
talk about things i kind of as a rule that i don't really think i created in my head to stand
00:34:49.260
on some moral high ground because maybe i'll go low right i'll go lower than you that's for sure
00:34:53.100
um but as a lawyer just like ingrained and taught like yeah you don't make an argument you can't
00:34:58.460
back up with something like you don't have you don't state a conclusion you don't you don't state
00:35:02.040
an opinion unless you have something to back it up or else you don't have an opinion at all yeah and
00:35:05.940
so you know when i talk about something online i know what i'm talking i know what i'm fucking
00:35:09.880
talking about yeah yeah uh and in the book i you know i have the same i hold myself to the same
00:35:14.900
principle and so when i'm talking about going really in depth into all these cases craziest
00:35:20.040
fucking cases uh i want to be right and i want to be on it uh and so that's it's just hours on hours
00:35:26.560
of me having to research and stuff it's like 3 a.m nights honestly yeah all these people are like
00:35:31.600

00:35:44.820
the color of my skin one day like one day it's gonna hit all i'll go south what about uh your
00:35:50.240
podcast i know it's in the same vein that too yeah uh rebuttal podcast because my name's rev
00:35:55.800
me is a little cute uh and it's the same it's honestly like the same kind of not the same kind
00:36:00.260
of thing as the book but the book very much is if you like my podcast you'll love the book uh where
00:36:04.980
each episode i talk about a case or a legal concept or a situation that i think deserves
00:36:10.720
people's attention because it's just fucking crazy or hilarious or whatever and i listened to true
00:36:16.000
crime podcasts before it's like i've heard about jeffrey dahmer a hundred times i've heard about
00:36:20.900
the same cases a hundred times and yeah they're super interesting but like the murder cases are the
00:36:25.580
least interesting in the law everyone knows that the family law cases are where shit gets fucking crazy
00:36:30.200
i i follow a family law lawyer in australia fadon love her um i'm obsessed with her she doesn't know
00:36:37.240
who i am i just she's just my new thing me with k yeah love her love her love her um but she she does
00:36:43.840
family law so she tells cases sometimes they are nuts they're and their laws different obviously but
00:36:48.940
like they're crazy crazy because two the two most dangerous areas of law are property law and family law
00:36:54.780
like family lawyers get jumped they get like attempted like tried to kill and also the things
00:36:59.820
that go on in them are crazy like you find out like you find out that like a husband and wife are
00:37:05.340
related yeah during a paternity test like when shit like that starts happening it's crazy then people
00:37:10.400
start it's like a real skeleton yeah it's real like you think you have skeletons in your closet right
00:37:15.420
murdered somebody i wish it were that simple like oh my god family lawyer clients are like oh you killed
00:37:20.760
who thank god is it just that oh my god god bless you know what i mean thank god you're not inbred
00:37:26.140
for the last three generations and now we've got to figure out the custody of your cat yeah your
00:37:30.320
husband fucked the last weekend swear to god crazy as shit it's always the not always but usually the
00:37:36.680
men yeah usually the men who are doing the crazy shit usually the men who are the deadbeat fault you
00:37:41.180
know i made a joke during my podcast because i don't always pick out like family law cases sometimes
00:37:47.260
there are cases of just really a witness protection case it's just like crazy shit that happens
00:37:51.060
and through the telling of the story it's like i i just joke i'm like at this point this is the
00:37:55.880
deadbeat dad chronicles because every fucking man involved in these cases was a deadbeat dad like
00:38:00.300
you know instead of just divorcing their wife or breaking up with their girlfriend right or getting
00:38:05.140
a job because that would be too right they like fake their own death and like go into witness
00:38:09.180
protection or like become a snitch for the mob so that they can go into witness protection and bring
00:38:12.920
their girlfriend to witness protection with them right they it's easier yeah literally so much
00:38:17.940
easier to do that yeah and i'm like perfect no yeah 100 they assassinate their political opponent
00:38:23.100
in tennessee because you know their wife was on to them and knew about their girlfriend no like
00:38:28.460
the craziest yeah the craziest things i'm curious do you ever watch lawyer shows or movies and you're
00:38:34.360
like oh yeah that's crazy yeah all of it how similar is it to suits not even a little but like that's i
00:38:40.440
do i watch it for megan markle bitch like have you seen her it's entertaining it's entertaining
00:38:44.520
not accurate but i used to love watching i think it was like gq they would have a youtube series where
00:38:50.940
they would have like an expert watch movies or tv shows of people acting in their profession i loved
00:38:58.040
watching them love there was like a chef i watched like a navy seal i watched there was one where it
00:39:02.380
was like a really famous like military doctor or surgeon like something like that and he was watching
00:39:07.660
military like movies or shows where they were doing you know on scene surgeries someone got like a
00:39:13.480
bullet hole through their arm and they're like fixing it and he'd be like not even close like
00:39:16.920
i mean he'd be like okay so they would be dead on the floor like do you watch law and order svu and
00:39:20.520
you're like okay yeah i mean the copaganda i love that but like i love that but like i love that
00:39:24.980
show i grew up loving that show and you rewatch it and you go okay maybe stabler shouldn't have been
00:39:28.840
throwing people through glass walls yeah yeah him beating the shit out of people but then you think
00:39:33.360
but now what the information you have now right maybe he was the most accurate right i mean sometimes
00:39:39.480
listen maybe he was doing like what do they call it method acting right honestly but then also it's
00:39:46.740
like i'm like yeah law and rescue copaganda for you know like nypd like the cops that you are talking
00:39:52.380
to do never talk to cop don't talk to cops yeah mouth don't talk to cops they're not gonna be
00:39:55.980
stabler they're not gonna be benson they're not gonna they're not gonna care they're not gonna give a
00:39:59.120
fuck no but one thing that i don't think anyone really took from it is in during the show right
00:40:05.860
they'd always have the first suspect or some shit right and we always knew it wasn't them because it
00:40:09.720
was just too easy yeah um and they'd be questioning them whatever and they'd lawyer up and they'd be
00:40:14.320
like ah damn it well can't get them now i'm like how did you not connect that that means lawyer the
00:40:21.620
fuck up well they must be guilty no babes were they ever in jail by the end of it were they ever in
00:40:26.980
prison no it was the bitches who were you're getting you're getting pissed off literally i'm
00:40:31.140
like like for some like coming from a bitch with a big mouth shut the fuck up when you're talking
00:40:35.640
to the police oh my god i know they were like all right i guess i'll tell you i know literally
00:40:39.720
like i guess i'll confess i'll cry yeah you twist my arm in the interrogation room i'm like how often
00:40:44.240
does that happen probably not often oh people confess to their shit all the time because they
00:40:47.880
think it's not relevant i mean i've had people be like um like you know they like fail like a
00:40:52.040
drug screening or something like for probation and they're like and like yeah you didn't pass
00:40:56.740
like your drunk test it was an edible said it couldn't smoke okay it's the same right you still
00:41:02.420
have marijuana in your system well okay so now it's on the record that you'd fucking took an
00:41:07.320
edible that's why lawyers say don't tell me yeah don't if you killed someone don't tell me well no
00:41:11.980
if you kill someone tell me and no one else like tell me and no one else you're telling everyone but
00:41:16.840
that's the yeah that's the and you know what's actually interesting and people don't i guess
00:41:20.840
people don't realize with evidence rules the way they work is if a client because obviously a
00:41:27.720
trained client privilege confidentiality we are bound bound by uh you know just shutting our
00:41:34.340
fucking mouths not being able to tell anyone anything and it's a much stronger privilege than
00:41:38.420
like the therapist privilege or a doctor patient because there are certain mandatory disclosures
00:41:42.680
reporting mandatory reporting laws yeah um we don't have that we are we're mandatory not reporting
00:41:48.140
yeah you don't fucking say shit and so the way the evidence rules work out for when you have to tell
00:41:53.980
and when you don't kind of thing if a client drove me out said hey like let's take a drive
00:41:59.780
drove me out to some random location showed me a body in the ground yeah we're like look it's the
00:42:06.620
missing the missing guy on television i killed him if i don't touch it if i if they don't
00:42:12.580
give it to me like i don't hand it i don't handle it i am bound to not say a word that's crazy not
00:42:18.960
even like call a tip anything like i can't say anything and i've always thought about that's
00:42:23.560
always like the most extreme situation that's why people are like oh lawyers are going to hell and i'm
00:42:27.080
like no yeah probably but you know i mean we're trying to keep some people out of prison before
00:42:31.100
then right is you know a good thing uh we're we're the last line of defense for your constitutional
00:42:36.700
rights you know the people who are going to be fighting especially the next four years are going to be
00:42:40.040
the ones who are for sure maybe probably going to hell but they did some great stuff before then
00:42:43.520
right uh but i always think about just completely as a joke how i would react yeah like if a client
00:42:51.200
was like let's get a coffee and i was like oh my god sure and i just have my fucking gucci bag like
00:42:55.580
my stiletto heel in front of an open pit of someone and i'm just like i'm trying to play it cool
00:43:02.000
right because i don't want to be a statistic like no yeah for sure 100 maybe some febreze in the bag
00:43:08.080
like what would you like how would i like i don't know how i would act thank you for sharing it with
00:43:12.200
i don't know how it act but there are i'm holding space for this yes i'm holding space i'm holding
00:43:16.140
space for this don't worry yeah they're not defying gravity anymore anymore they're defying gravity
00:43:21.720
somewhere girl yeah it's not on this earthly plane right it's messy why didn't we use a gun babe
00:43:27.520
there's like stab wounds that's blood everywhere that's crazy yeah what would you say is your most
00:43:32.160
common piece of advice that you give people other than do not talk to cops yeah and that people
00:43:39.720
like well what if they pull you out you know what i mean when i say don't talk to cops i mean that if
00:43:43.600
a cop shows up to your house and knocks on your door you do not contend to a search you do not let
00:43:47.540
them and you do not answer questions yeah you say you have to affirmatively say you're invoking
00:43:52.940
regret to remain silent you have to affirmatively say i want a lawyer and after that then they can't
00:43:56.540
talk to you and if they talk to you then a lawyer later can get it thrown out yeah another thing is
00:44:00.560
don't go into business with your family and it is sometimes you know i mean like i'm seeing your
00:44:05.520
mom and sister in the back of the room like that you know sometimes it works out it's totally fine
00:44:08.180
yeah but like always always always family friends whatever if you get into business with people
00:44:14.780
like people show their faces and it's not that everyone's an asshole i know they're probably your
00:44:19.300
best best best friend if they are your best friend like don't maybe don't like start a
00:44:24.640
cryptocurrency like together you know maybe like deal with someone who you're not that's tea
00:44:29.020
oh yeah it's like shit nobody nobody really thinks about don't do it do not do it and it's
00:44:33.460
like the best case scenarios it works out the worst case scenario is worse like so much worse
00:44:38.380
it's always ever imagined no matter what the upside is yes like the amount of families that
00:44:42.560
have been torn apart i mean if anyone like google i did an episode on the u-haul family dynasty
00:44:47.260
the u-haul business is so wrought with tea and bullshit and murder because of just money like
00:44:55.760
they you know i mean it's just unprecedented power yeah unprecedented yeah so don't go on
00:44:59.940
to visit your family um and i mean first shut your mouth second don't go to your family third
00:45:05.340
get a prenup and fourth shut your mouth and the get a prenup if you're broke if you're a broke man
00:45:10.960
on the internet talking about gold diggers we're not we're not don't worry about you baby i'm not
00:45:15.240
talking about you you don't need that mm-hmm yep yep that's why you still get a tax return you don't
00:45:19.720
need that exactly that's tea like i do you do you offer legal advice a lot to your like to people in
00:45:26.820
your in your life your personal i mean i think i'm not allowed to right but yeah because uh unless you
00:45:33.400
have an attorney-client relationship yeah which can be created off of literally anything like a
00:45:37.840
drunk girl at a bar being like should i do this and i'd be like totally go for it she could sue me
00:45:41.360
later for malpractice so like that's why you gotta be real careful yes of course i am i mean fuck my
00:45:47.020
phone ringing all the time like from some random distant cousin i'm like hello they're like hey
00:45:52.880
so like theoretically like if you ran not saying you but like theoretically if you ran through a car
00:46:01.180
wash naked because of circumstances um and kicked off someone's like side mirror would that be one
00:46:09.540
charge or two and i'm like can you back up is this like personally right like where are you
00:46:14.940
yeah like where are you are you calling from a county jail no okay perfect like that kind of
00:46:18.420
shit where i'm like let me let me look something up really quick and get back to you but like early
00:46:24.020
that pride like that person not every practice area is in my head immediately i'm like well fuck
00:46:29.020
where are you michigan let me look it up really quick like nudity and i'm like on the same google
00:46:33.200
they are i'm like yeah you look fine you're all looks good to me yeah you'll get off well someone
00:46:37.300
will but have you been uh disillusioned by anything in like in law like how you were saying like
00:46:43.560
like for example i've seen that study where they say like statistically in divorce settlements women
00:46:49.120
typically end up with kids in custody battles but part of that is misogyny i think they're just
00:46:54.580
assuming women will want them but most of that is that men don't typically fight for kids the way
00:46:59.240
that women do so have you seen anything where you're kind of like yeah that's like an it seems
00:47:04.680
to be every single time absolutely yeah women in self-defense women and stand your ground laws or
00:47:11.360
black people when people of color yeah on stand your ground laws stand your ground laws the whole
00:47:16.320
idea of like don't tread on me you know where we can guard our castle and protect our castle and that's
00:47:21.820
why you know second amendment right to bear arms um you know people who are white and men who shoot
00:47:29.560
an intruder and kill them and then you know are never charged because oh well it was you know it's the
00:47:34.480
it's called like the castle doctor and you can protect your castle you know you can stand your ground
00:47:38.060
yeah um you know uh shooting just unarmed kids in the street because they had a hoodie on yeah well
00:47:43.640
stand your ground you know we have seen you got they were threatened you know xyz but then when
00:47:48.340
women do it because they're literally being attacked yeah in the street or otherwise in their homes
00:47:53.760
domestic violence victims especially yeah trying to protect their children or protect themselves
00:47:58.160
it's they're always charged and that's not i mean statistically yes it's not literally 100%
00:48:04.140
of the time they're always charged but just from what you see and what you study and what yeah you
00:48:07.820
learn is there are patterns oh it's stand your ground for white men yeah who who are right there's
00:48:13.720
an asterisk exactly like the moment that you know uh people black people specifically people of color as
00:48:19.760
well the moment it's a black man with a gun oh no we don't want we don't want people of color to
00:48:23.640
have guns oh no that's just we just we didn't mean everyone can have second amendment rights
00:48:27.420
actually that's dangerous yeah no oh now now well that's threatening yeah well and also it's like
00:48:33.760
you know when uh someone's pulled over by a cop and then you know a cop like you know shoots them
00:48:39.980
eight 18 times because you know their their skin was a little bit darker and everyone there's always
00:48:44.360
people go well we don't know the full story well they were reaching in their back seat what if there
00:48:47.640
were a gun there was a gun back there maybe they're in alabama there's a gun in every back seat in
00:48:51.820
fucking alabama like they were reaching back for their license or their gum or whatever i'm like but the
00:48:56.040
moment it's a white person everything's fine everything's cool everything's chill i don't
00:49:00.180
care if you're reaching in your back seat right right you don't care well he was getting his
00:49:03.280
license like oh it's not a big deal um and well you know oh he was he was a he had a license you
00:49:08.280
know an open carry license it's fine i'm like but that person had one too the black guy had one too
00:49:12.840
the black girl had one too yeah so that was one thing i mean there are hundreds of things that i could
00:49:18.740
say but that is one thing that that came to mind because because you know domestic violence
00:49:24.740
victims especially in this country women who are stalked women who are threatened and there are
00:49:29.200
a lot of people online even influencers and creators who've experienced that yeah they they
00:49:33.420
basically are like well unless they literally kill you we can't really do anything oh yeah i've been
00:49:39.000
told that yeah yeah yeah i've had i've had issues with men who have stalked me and my family for like
00:49:44.940
years uh and then it's always like well unless they act on it i can't do anything right and then they
00:49:50.180
act on it and then they go well it's not that bad yeah like well they didn't well you well you
00:49:54.940
like ran fast enough so they didn't catch you oh yeah and that works by design yeah because there's
00:50:00.620
a way like everyone who says well what can you do you know free country we can't just you know
00:50:05.340
basically prevent people from moving certain places or talking or saying certain things online
00:50:09.940
or to someone just you know first amendment just because one person feels threatened i'm like well
00:50:13.680
no that's not what's happening they they really because the law is very um archaic when it comes
00:50:21.720
to doing what it can to protect our most vulnerable in society right and our most vulnerable are honestly
00:50:28.540
the people who aren't as protected by the law which includes lgbtq plus community yeah trans community
00:50:34.460
women yeah women of color children too yeah the amount of times that laws just completely leave
00:50:42.300
massive holes open for kids to be abused by the system or to be left out or to be um just subject
00:50:49.280
to the worst things both in you know juvenile detention centers and now like even more it even
00:50:54.080
more vulnerable yeah exactly and it's because i mean i'm like look at who set this system up look at
00:50:59.860
the who's in who's been in power in the legal field yeah or for the last 100 million years uh white
00:51:05.560
men white men white men and even though right now today there are more women in this field than there
00:51:09.860
are men all of the people who are in power are the white men it doesn't matter you know i mean i'm
00:51:13.780
like yeah being a woman i see women everywhere but we're all subject to the same misogyny because
00:51:17.900
the people who are you know determining our paychecks who make decisions yeah we're the ones having to
00:51:23.420
convince those fucking assholes yeah of the personhood and the existence of people who don't
00:51:30.680
look like them yep and that's difficult sometimes when you're fighting prejudice it's fighting ghosts
00:51:35.560
really literally yeah you're like i want to change the system but i need to get inside of it and how
00:51:40.580
can i get in when it's impenetrable exactly you know what it kind of equates to sometimes when it
00:51:46.680
comes to because we're like in the legal field it's like politicians lawyers die in that chair bitch
00:51:51.460
they do not retire they do not quit i worked for a man who was 90 years old practicing in court we do
00:51:57.420
not take licenses away oh no baby we let you we let you pull up like you pass the bar
00:52:03.320
like during prohibition like that shit's fucking wild if father time is assigned to me hey i'm
00:52:10.840
oh yeah no you're hey i'll defend myself in court um he might keel over any second no 100 he's gonna
00:52:16.800
be like oh she's free they freed her shit he's like well i might not be alive by the end of this trial
00:52:22.480
no exactly i kid you not exactly and they smell exactly like you think and so when you know like
00:52:28.240
a lot of times right you're um some of them honestly some of them are great like i've met a
00:52:33.760
lot of um men who are in this field who are the white male old demographic who are honestly not
00:52:39.580
like necessarily the good ones because all of them should be the good ones but they have absolutely
00:52:43.660
been pivotal and like making sure there's a door open yeah but but you know sometimes they're just so
00:52:49.120
old that it's like honestly like working with a make-a-wish kid then i mean that in the most
00:52:56.460
respectful way of look if you're at disneyland and you see a make-a-wish kid and they are a terror
00:53:02.260
right they are screaming yelling crying in line yeah like like fisting people you know i mean
00:53:07.460
punching people whatever and you see the big make-a-wish crown right on their head you go well it's not
00:53:12.960
really my business to say anything because like they don't have a lot of they don't have a lot of time
00:53:16.380
left yeah i mean like you want them to just to enjoy it you just gotta let it you just gotta let
00:53:19.940
it ride right and put your energy somewhere more important take them out to pasture later exactly
00:53:24.620
and all of these not all of them but some of these men who are like it's like you know during the black
00:53:29.880
life matters protest i remember one of my bosses who was otherwise a good lawyer is like rambling
00:53:34.380
on and on right about their you know the whole thugs terminology stuff and i was like i just i just sat
00:53:41.360
there listening because i'm like he's gonna be dead soon you know what i mean like i'm like i don't
00:53:45.120
you're teaching him anything is not helping anyone like it's not like he's a like he's not
00:53:49.980
changing oh yeah yeah he's gonna go home to his dead wife and just and his shitty dog and that's
00:53:56.780
gonna be that and eventually one day i'm gonna get the call and go finally right like he's done it's
00:54:01.100
over yeah you just gotta i'm glad your wife's no longer with you yeah father time can sometimes be
00:54:06.240
on our side because i'm like speed this shit up please god damn it like sometimes people just have
00:54:12.420
to die in order for things to change and that's okay and you know what and you know what when it
00:54:17.940
when it picks the right person i'm a fan you know sometimes i'm like well we're all better off right
00:54:22.860
and i'm not advocating for murder okay i'm saying the natural passing of time circle of life circle
00:54:29.020
of life you know lion king they ate with that okay but but they were on the song let's try to change
00:54:34.660
their minds let's hope that they they deteriorate i've actually said that i said that on i think on
00:54:40.660
rain wilson's podcast like he said like do you think there is hope for change or uh you know
00:54:46.760
what have you and i said yeah i do i just don't think it's going to come from people who have made
00:54:50.420
up their minds it's not going to come from them like you got to let them die out like you got to
00:54:54.520
let those bloodlines stop bitch i've already prayed to my ancestors about it hopefully and baldness
00:55:00.160
hopefully that continues to ravage their bloodlines i said what i think will help enact change other
00:55:05.760
than everyone who's already on the same page is getting a bunch of fence sitters like
00:55:09.220
people who don't care at all or people who aren't plugged in or people who are like i don't know
00:55:13.360
which one's which like it sounds like there's bad on both sides like people like that are the ones
00:55:17.520
that you need you can grab and have join you yep everyone else let them die off exactly that's
00:55:23.820
the fastest way to do it have a chance yeah exactly go either way or they have enough of an open mind
00:55:30.380
or empathy or whatever right exactly to grasp a concept i agree because right you look at all these
00:55:36.200
other horrible times in history and you have to know to a certain extent yeah those people had to
00:55:42.360
die off like i'm sorry like i'm really sorry but they just had to right there's no other way for us
00:55:47.960
to have fixed that at all like literally you can't all when someone's 90 yeah and they've spent 80 of
00:55:53.920
those years hating people very specifically owning people very specific what am i gonna do in their
00:55:58.780
last two months of their life you know what i'm saying not talk not waste my time exactly like are you
00:56:03.860
fucking kidding me i'm not wasting my time that's why i think the same thing and i said that too
00:56:07.780
during 2020 and all of that i was like it got to a point where i was like i'm not convincing anyone
00:56:12.540
no that's not my job no it's not my job and on my billable hour you couldn't afford me anyway
00:56:17.060
be fucking serious i'm gonna tell you to choke bitch that's what i'm gonna tell you to do
00:56:20.300
well you're just intolerant i'm not intolerant i'm tolerant of people who actually want to listen
00:56:25.380
i'm intolerant of you i'm intolerant of you oh no for sure yeah this is not a safe space for you
00:56:29.280
this is dangerous as fuck well they're like well you sound so hateful well that's because i am i
00:56:33.500
hate you that's because i hate you that's a strong word i hope that's clear yeah it's strong words
00:56:38.260
why i used it yeah it's absolutely why i know you're i'm intimidated by you good yeah perfect
00:56:44.560
perfect great it's working thank god okay so to to wrap us because we've been yapping girl sorry
00:56:50.980
period no don't be sorry i love it that's the the best episodes i have are those uh i would love to
00:56:56.240
know if you have any advice for anyone marginalized really who maybe wants to go in into law and maybe
00:57:03.060
is like nervous about encountering invisible barriers which obviously you've spoken to a bunch
00:57:08.140
in the field but i think it's imperative actually before you answer that question i want to give you
00:57:13.280
your flowers i think you're incredible and i think people like you are very important not just because
00:57:18.540
obviously you're extremely smart and talented and you're fucking funny which i love smart and funny
00:57:23.520
go hand in hand in my opinion but also being a woman and being a white woman and advocating the
00:57:29.320
way that you do is very important and i want to give you your flowers i think you're amazing i think
00:57:33.720
people like you are so necessary not just in in the literal world because rev has a literal job a real
00:57:40.020
job unlike mine you can't relate you can't relate and neither can i because she works a lot harder than
00:57:46.520
i do no uh you have your real like you're actually making a difference in the world and i think that's
00:57:51.320
so incredibly important and powerful and i think you're amazing so i want to say that first well thank
00:57:57.180
you i it should be the baseline for everyone like i it makes me feel so awkward because i'm i
00:58:02.120
genuinely believe i'm like i if my job as a lawyer like everyone's job as a lawyer is to go to court and
00:58:08.980
argue for their clients how is it not part of our job that we make it a better profession that we make
00:58:13.820
it a better field that we make it safer for someone else that we to put our neck out where
00:58:18.020
maybe another person couldn't because i'm a white woman and i know that the color of my skin is going
00:58:22.200
to make a difference in whether i can say something or not whether i can threaten my job or not um and
00:58:27.260
and so for people who want to come into this field who are part of those communities that this field
00:58:33.440
does not represent absolutely or are not represented by you know only five percent of all attorneys in
00:58:37.900
the u.s are black which is crazy because 38.7 percent of our incarcerated population is black
00:58:42.660
because of inherent racism period and prejudice period yeah um and and so you know i always tell
00:58:50.040
people i would want if i were in a situation and anyone could be of being on the other side
00:58:57.060
of of a courtroom that's not the good side right the side where you're being accused of something
00:59:01.300
and in this day and age police are legally allowed to lie to you legally allowed to do anything and
00:59:05.300
but their jobs um you would be surprised well i don't do anything wrong there are people who are in
00:59:10.960
prison right now who did nothing wrong yeah and that's how that that's how that works um but you
00:59:15.320
know if if i were ever in that situation or if if you or anyone were ever in that situation
00:59:19.920
wouldn't you want to be represented by someone who looks like you who comes from your culture who
00:59:25.400
understands you and your neighborhood and your background absolutely and yeah of course there
00:59:30.260
are going to be white people who are the good ones who you know hopefully if i represent someone
00:59:35.340
who doesn't look like me and i have obviously that i do my best to represent their interests like
00:59:40.660
any great advocate would yeah but god it's the same thing as like going to the ob-gyn i know there
00:59:46.040
are good male ones i want a woman yeah sorry and that's a personal fucking opinion right i don't think
00:59:51.660
that y'all should lose your licenses i mean it's weird and creepy at a party for sure i'm gonna start
00:59:56.300
i'm gonna side eye you but that's just me that's me personally yeah something stinks about right but
01:00:00.300
why but people say yeah you're you have the right to say no man in my up my vagina when i'm giving
01:00:05.460
birth yep why wouldn't you have why shouldn't you be able to have that choice it on the worst day of
01:00:10.420
your life when you need a lawyer and you need someone and i'll tell you there aren't enough um
01:00:16.120
of people who who are from marginalized communities because of all the barriers in this field yeah so for
01:00:21.320
those who can scale them for those who can be here there are people here who are holding the door open
01:00:28.000
for you and i'm one of them and there are i'm not the only one just because i'm online doesn't mean
01:00:32.880
there aren't thousands of them just like me better than me more experienced than me who can make it so
01:00:39.220
that one day we don't have to have that conversation anymore yeah it doesn't have to be a a plea if you
01:00:44.760
will for people to like endure like all those invisible barriers in order to change it right because
01:00:50.620
the people the people who built those barriers will die yeah and they are which is great
