171
00:07:59,687 --> 00:08:01,939
Broadway might have killed someone
for my dad.
172
00:08:02,023 --> 00:08:04,317
♪ You're still real close
To this very day ♪
173
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,986
♪ Homeboys through the summer
Winter, spring and fall ♪
174
00:08:07,069 --> 00:08:10,573
I gotta give it up. You don’t really see
that kind of commitment from IG models.
175
00:08:10,656 --> 00:08:11,782
That’s dedication.
176
00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:15,703
No, I’m telling you.
Listen, a baby at her age,
177
00:08:15,786 --> 00:08:17,622
right on the cusp of a milli followers?
178
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:19,207
That little nigga could've sunk her.
179
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:21,417
Taken her right out
of the Explore Page game.
180
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:23,336
- That's like blowing your ACL.
- Yeah.
181
00:08:23,419 --> 00:08:24,879
- Rookie year.
- It's awful.
182
00:08:24,962 --> 00:08:29,008
Oh, my God. You will not believe
what I just saw Izzy doing.
183
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:32,970
I don’t think it can be great.
I heard "Act Up" blaring out of her room.
184
00:08:33,429 --> 00:08:36,766
Not exactly the theme song
to, like, a nonprofit start.
185
00:08:36,849 --> 00:08:39,310
Yeah, that shit’s pretty much
the sonic equivalent
186
00:08:39,393 --> 00:08:41,771
- of a dirty hypodermic needle. [laughs]
- [Joya sighs]
187
00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:43,534
[Kenya] I’m sorry, babe. I’m just kidding.
188
00:08:44,232 --> 00:08:45,232
Are you okay?
189
00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:48,045
- Do you want me to go talk to her?
- No, I'll... I'll handle it.
190
00:08:48,069 --> 00:08:50,589
- Are you sure? I don't mind going...
- Yeah, I'm good. I'm good, thanks.
191
00:08:50,613 --> 00:08:51,447
Oh, okay.
192
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,324
- Well, let me know.
- Yeah.
193
00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:57,161
- See what I did there?
- Yes, I did.
194
00:08:57,411 --> 00:08:59,914
- That was a double ask.
- That's... That's 20 years.
195
00:08:59,997 --> 00:09:02,291
Oh, very nice. That’s a savvy vet move.
196
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:04,043
I gotta be honest with you, dawg.
197
00:09:04,585 --> 00:09:06,587
Raising my daughters
scares the shit out of me.
198
00:09:06,671 --> 00:09:09,799
All those girls scare the shit out of me.
That’s why I let Jo handle it.
199
00:09:09,882 --> 00:09:13,427
I mean, she's not doing a great job,
obviously, they're out of control.
200
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:15,012
But at least it’s off my plate.
201
00:09:15,429 --> 00:09:18,808
Honestly, man, I just focus where for me
right now, I’m raising my little dudes.
202
00:09:18,891 --> 00:09:20,351
- I can handle that.
- Right.
203
00:09:20,434 --> 00:09:21,787
- You know what I'm saying?
- Right.
204
00:09:21,811 --> 00:09:23,604
- What up? What up, my D’s?
- [Kam] Hey, Dad!
205
00:09:23,688 --> 00:09:26,607
Yo, what’s going on, y'all?
What’s up with school?
206
00:09:27,024 --> 00:09:29,026
Wizard school or Dothraki school?
207
00:09:29,527 --> 00:09:31,529
I was just talking about school-school.
208
00:09:31,946 --> 00:09:33,489
[speaks Dothraki]
209
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:36,325
That’s Dothraki for “easy-peasy.”
210
00:09:36,450 --> 00:09:37,660
He's level nine.
211
00:09:40,037 --> 00:09:41,497
- What was that?
- [laughing]
212
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:42,581
[both grunt]
213
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:44,249
Um...
214
00:09:44,292 --> 00:09:46,335
What... what’s that you got there?
215
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:49,880
We made the most annoying robot
in the entire world.
216
00:09:50,089 --> 00:09:51,132
- Check it out.
- Nice.
217
00:09:51,215 --> 00:09:52,401
- You made this?
- [Kam] Turn it on.
218
00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:53,676
- [Pops] Yeah.
- All right.
219
00:09:54,385 --> 00:09:56,238
- [Pops] Come on, Broadway.
- [Kam] Come on, turn it on.
220
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:57,888
[Kam] What's the struggle? Turn it on.
221
00:09:57,972 --> 00:09:59,658
- [Kam] Come on, turn it on.
- [Pops] It's easy.
222
00:09:59,682 --> 00:10:01,642
- Okay, okay, okay, guys,
- [boys encouraging]
223
00:10:01,726 --> 00:10:03,811
I think...
I think Uncle Broadway gets it.
224
00:10:03,894 --> 00:10:06,439
Here, take that back.
You made a really cool robot
225
00:10:06,522 --> 00:10:08,691
that's very annoying, as promised.
226
00:10:09,066 --> 00:10:12,653
Why don’t you guys do anything
other than be around here right now?
227
00:10:12,820 --> 00:10:14,405
[Pops] Okay, I love you, Dad.
228
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:15,990
Lo... love you too, buddy.
229
00:10:18,534 --> 00:10:21,662
- Jesus.
- Yeah, that was rough.
230
00:10:22,705 --> 00:10:24,498
Dude, did I drop the ball?
231
00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:26,041
Uh...
232
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:28,961
I mean, you kind of put me
in a tough spot, dawg.
233
00:10:29,837 --> 00:10:30,838
You saw that.
234
00:10:31,797 --> 00:10:33,174
- Yeah.
- Are they okay?
235
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:37,887
I mean, I thought they were.
236
00:10:40,431 --> 00:10:42,892
Who put them in Dothraki school? Like...
237
00:10:43,601 --> 00:10:46,437
- That's my money paying for that?
- Wizard school, bro?
238
00:10:48,356 --> 00:10:50,650
- This is their mom's fault.
- [bowl clinking]
239
00:10:51,108 --> 00:10:52,108
[crunching]
240
00:10:52,193 --> 00:10:55,237
I really should just handle everybody
on my own, or leave.
241
00:10:55,946 --> 00:10:59,075
- Dudes leave their family all the time.
- They do.
242
00:10:59,158 --> 00:11:02,036
And they seem like they have natural,
like, good times.
243
00:11:02,119 --> 00:11:03,579
I turned out cool, bro.
244
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,874
[groans] Leaving’s not the answer.
245
00:11:07,958 --> 00:11:09,085
So, Mom,
246
00:11:09,877 --> 00:11:10,961
that thing with Izzy,
247
00:11:11,253 --> 00:11:12,713
what do you feel about that?
248
00:11:13,130 --> 00:11:14,548
Honestly, um...
249
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,759
I'm still processing.
250
00:11:16,842 --> 00:11:19,011
I don't want to talk to her until I...
251
00:11:19,095 --> 00:11:21,639
I mean, silence, to me,
seems like a strange...
252
00:11:22,139 --> 00:11:24,266
impulse to an epic parental failure.
253
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:26,102
- Drea... Please...
- [Drea] You know what?
254
00:11:26,185 --> 00:11:28,104
I’m sorry, I’m editorializing.
255
00:11:28,187 --> 00:11:30,606
Why don’t you just walk me through
what you’re feeling?
256
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:32,316
Probably some self-loathing?
257
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,735
Disappointment? Really take me there.
258
00:11:35,152 --> 00:11:37,363
Well, I wasn't feeling
any of those things
259
00:11:37,446 --> 00:11:38,864
until you just said that.
260
00:11:38,948 --> 00:11:42,034
- Well, I'm glad I could help.
- Is that what you call it? "Help"?
261
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:44,453
Hey, I don’t want to be an alarmist here,
262
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:48,833
but the next 24 hours determines
whether or not Izzy lives or dies.
263
00:11:49,792 --> 00:11:51,335
Oh. [scoffs]
264
00:11:51,419 --> 00:11:53,796
Well, I'm glad
you're not being an alarmist.
265
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:56,716
My mom pays for my subscription
to The Atlantic.
266
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:58,884
I wish she read it once in a while.
267
00:11:59,301 --> 00:12:01,762
Since she seemed so unconcerned
on the subject,
268
00:12:02,263 --> 00:12:06,016
I had to explain that society
sees black girls as older than their age.
269
00:12:06,225 --> 00:12:08,936
That it’s not just a problem,
it’s an epidemic.
270
00:12:09,019 --> 00:12:11,605
That this idea has been around
ever since slavery.
271
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:15,401
How nothing is more convenient
than creating a narrative
272
00:12:15,484 --> 00:12:18,863
that little black girls
look and act older than their age
273
00:12:18,946 --> 00:12:22,408
to justify all the horrible shit
this country has asked of us.
274
00:12:22,491 --> 00:12:25,786
And how now, 400 years later,
there's finally a name for it:
275
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:27,329
adultification.
276
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:30,875
I then pointed out the countless studies
done about adultification.
277
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:33,252
Like the one from Georgetown Law,
278
00:12:33,669 --> 00:12:36,630
which showed that 325 adults
279
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:39,133
from different races and backgrounds
280
00:12:39,216 --> 00:12:42,344
all perceive black girls
as being more mature,
281
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:45,431
more sexual and less in need of protection
282
00:12:45,514 --> 00:12:47,141
than white girls their age.
283
00:12:47,224 --> 00:12:50,352
And this perception affects
every aspect of our lives,
284
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:51,687
whether it's in school,
285
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:53,981
where black girls
are three times more likely
286
00:12:54,064 --> 00:12:55,900
to get disciplined than white girls.
287
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:57,902
Or the healthcare system,
288
00:12:57,985 --> 00:13:00,821
where black women
or two to six times more likely to die
289
00:13:00,905 --> 00:13:03,449
from complications of pregnancy
than white women.
290
00:13:03,741 --> 00:13:07,828
And black infants die twice as often
as their white counterparts.
291
00:13:07,912 --> 00:13:11,332
And we're sure as hell less protected
than white girls from predators.
292
00:13:11,415 --> 00:13:12,833
[crowd clamoring]
293
00:13:12,917 --> 00:13:14,460
[Drea] If all that's not bad enough,
294
00:13:14,543 --> 00:13:17,755
we’ve got social media to thank
for making it even easier
295
00:13:17,838 --> 00:13:21,300
for the messed-up way the world
looks at us to just flourish.
296
00:13:21,383 --> 00:13:25,596
And since black girls as young as
five years old are subject to this crap,
297
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,308
adultification means
that little black girls, like Izzy,
298
00:13:29,391 --> 00:13:31,060
don't get to have a childhood.
299
00:13:31,268 --> 00:13:34,146
So the way I looked at it,
my mom had two choices.
300
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:36,607
Either talk to Izzy now
or see her in a bikini
301
00:13:36,690 --> 00:13:38,859
on the Explore page
of Broadway's Instagram.
302
00:13:39,735 --> 00:13:42,279
Now, I'm going to ask you again.
303
00:13:43,739 --> 00:13:45,115
How are you feeling?
304
00:13:45,407 --> 00:13:49,578
First of all,
I am so proud of my little girl.
305
00:13:49,954 --> 00:13:52,623
You are so smart. I taught you so well.
306
00:13:52,706 --> 00:13:54,935
I probably would have added something
about Venus Hottentot
307
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:57,711
and how she was paraded naked
all over Europe because of her big butt
308
00:13:57,795 --> 00:13:59,815
‘cause that would've added
a little bit of historical context...
309
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:01,173
I'm talking about Izzy!
310
00:14:01,257 --> 00:14:03,300
How are you feeling about Izzy?
311
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:04,843
Um...
312
00:14:07,555 --> 00:14:10,224
Like an epic parental failure.
313
00:14:11,058 --> 00:14:12,643
God, is she going to be okay?
314
00:14:14,937 --> 00:14:15,937
I blew it.
315
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,898
[whispering] We got it.
316
00:14:18,232 --> 00:14:19,567
[Joya] Oh, my God, I blew it.
317
00:14:20,067 --> 00:14:21,986
She’s gonna be on the pole soon.
318
00:14:22,987 --> 00:14:27,283
It's a black gentrification,
origin story of black people.
319
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:28,366
Like, if...
320
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:30,995
if the radioactive spider bit blackness,
321
00:14:31,328 --> 00:14:34,874
this... and made it move out...
like, okay. So, like,
322
00:14:35,332 --> 00:14:37,960
black… are you...
You don’t have to answer, but are you...
323
00:14:38,043 --> 00:14:40,880
anyway, gentrification is a part of…
324
00:14:41,088 --> 00:14:44,216
Bixby, remind me to call
the business manager ASAP.
325
00:14:45,175 --> 00:14:47,386
Sweetie, hi. I'm so happy to see you.
326
00:14:47,469 --> 00:14:49,263
I wanted to, um, talk to you.
327
00:14:49,346 --> 00:14:51,181
Yeah, I need to ask you...
328
00:14:51,265 --> 00:14:52,474
um, something.
329
00:14:52,558 --> 00:14:55,102
Oh, okay. Yeah, ask me anything.
What... What do you need?
330
00:14:55,185 --> 00:14:58,856
Uh, can you just tell Caleb’s parents
that I’m not going to the sleepover?
331
00:14:58,939 --> 00:15:00,816
Yeah, that’s no problem. But honey...
332
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:03,444
Stink, I just wanted to talk
about what happened earlier.
333
00:15:03,527 --> 00:15:04,361
[Kenya] Babe.
334
00:15:04,445 --> 00:15:06,572
I think there’s a lot of things
you don’t realize...
335
00:15:06,655 --> 00:15:08,575
What time is the liberation feast
gonna be ready?
336
00:15:08,657 --> 00:15:10,385
- Like, people need to be freed. Honestly.
- I know.
337
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:12,202
But Izzy, I'm not done with you.
338
00:15:12,286 --> 00:15:13,886
- Babe, like, times?
- I'm not... [sighs]
339
00:15:13,954 --> 00:15:16,808
Like, we need to know what time...
the freedom cake needs time to rise up.
340
00:15:16,832 --> 00:15:18,876
I was trying to have something
with my daughter.
341
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:21,462
She needed something from me.
You ruined that. So, thank you.
342
00:15:21,545 --> 00:15:24,882
I'm sorry.
I'm worried about what time people...
343
00:15:24,965 --> 00:15:26,685
Your cake? Is that what you want?
Your cake?
344
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:28,594
It just needs time to rise up, I said.
345
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:31,221
- You wanna rise up? Here.
- Oh, my God, you're so...
346
00:15:31,305 --> 00:15:32,723
Rise up. Rise up.
347
00:15:33,265 --> 00:15:35,392
- [Kenya] Does that sound risen to you?
- No.
348
00:15:35,476 --> 00:15:36,977
That sounds enslaved.
349
00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:38,182
Of course she doesn't care.
350
00:15:38,228 --> 00:15:41,148
She’s always doing some half-assed
Juneteenth celebration.
351
00:15:41,398 --> 00:15:42,733
Remember last year?
352
00:15:42,816 --> 00:15:46,111
She ordered a pizza and put on
the Fleetwood Mac station on Sonos.
353
00:15:46,570 --> 00:15:50,032
Fleetwood Mac for the ending of slavery.
354
00:15:50,115 --> 00:15:51,450
That's what she gave us.
355
00:15:52,451 --> 00:15:54,495
The pizza was not bad, to be fair.
356
00:15:55,204 --> 00:15:56,747
You don’t have to pick up their stuff.
357
00:15:56,830 --> 00:15:59,291
That’s not your job.
They should pick up their own stuff.
358
00:15:59,375 --> 00:16:02,461
I sometimes leave stuff around.
I’d like that picked up, though.
359
00:16:02,544 --> 00:16:04,797
And my wife
can pick up her own stuff, too.
360
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,007
Um, I lost my Rolex.
361
00:16:07,091 --> 00:16:09,677
It’s like a watch like this.
If you see it,
362
00:16:10,344 --> 00:16:13,222
it can just go back
and I won't say anything. Okay?
363
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:14,807
- Tickle attack!
- [Kenya] Ah!
364
00:16:14,932 --> 00:16:16,725
[Pops and Kam] Ah!
365
00:16:16,850 --> 00:16:18,686
Oh, my... Hold on! What...
366
00:16:19,770 --> 00:16:21,188
What is that smell?
367
00:16:22,439 --> 00:16:23,649
[sniffing]
368
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,443
Oh, my God, it’s the both of you!
369
00:16:27,152 --> 00:16:29,363
You smell
like two tiny little homeless men!
370
00:16:29,822 --> 00:16:32,074
This isn’t cool, man,
this is like a bumfight!
371
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:35,452
When's the last time
you guys took a shower?
372
00:16:35,869 --> 00:16:37,079
I don't know.
373
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:39,581
[suspenseful music playing]
374
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:43,377
[Drea] My dad has a pretty unique way
375
00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:46,171
of getting answers out of the boys
when he needs them.
376
00:16:48,924 --> 00:16:51,135
Just look here, you stinking little hobos.
377
00:16:51,218 --> 00:16:54,680
I got some simple questions
and I'm expecting some simple answers.
378
00:16:54,763 --> 00:16:58,100
[Drea] And by “unique,” I mean he stole it
from Menace II Society.
379
00:16:58,183 --> 00:16:59,768
Now listen to me, you little bitch.
380
00:16:59,893 --> 00:17:01,770
I’m gonna ask you
some real simple questions
381
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:03,647
and I want some real simple answers.
382
00:17:03,731 --> 00:17:05,899
[Drea] The exact cadence, words,
383
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:09,111
he even made my camera guy
shoot it the same way.
384
00:17:09,361 --> 00:17:10,446
So unoriginal.
385
00:17:10,529 --> 00:17:12,156
[Kenya] So let's get this straight.
386
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:13,991
When was the last time you showered?
387
00:17:14,074 --> 00:17:15,117
Saturday morning.
388
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:19,913
[Kenya] So you showered on a Saturday...
389
00:17:19,997 --> 00:17:21,165
At 11:15?
390
00:17:21,623 --> 00:17:24,251
[Pops stammering]
Showered on Saturday morning.
391
00:17:24,334 --> 00:17:25,836
[Caine] Yeah, 11:15.
392
00:17:27,004 --> 00:17:29,381
Was that before or after the movies?
393
00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:31,759
[Kam] Before. It was before the movies.
394
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,136
It was before the movies.
395
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,388
Uh, yes, I think.
396
00:17:36,764 --> 00:17:38,098
If I recall correctly.
397
00:17:38,766 --> 00:17:39,766
Yes.
398
00:17:40,142 --> 00:17:43,437
[clears throat] So I’m gonna
ask you again. Last time you showered…
399
00:17:44,188 --> 00:17:45,189
was Friday?
400
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:47,524
Yes, we definitely showered on Friday.
401
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:49,902
Definitely.
402
00:17:52,738 --> 00:17:53,781
Now, you see, son.
403
00:17:54,364 --> 00:17:56,867
You see that date?
You know you done fucked up now, right?
404
00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:59,244
- You done fucked up. You know that?
- You done fucked up.
405
00:18:00,245 --> 00:18:01,955
You just said you showered on Friday.
406
00:18:02,456 --> 00:18:04,124
You didn’t go to the movies on Friday.
407
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:09,129
Fine! It was Thursday morning.
We had school pictures!
408
00:18:09,213 --> 00:18:12,216
[Kenya]
So you guys haven't showered in four days?
409
00:18:12,633 --> 00:18:15,260
Four Earth days.
410
00:18:16,178 --> 00:18:18,305
It’s kind of time-management issues.
411
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:21,308
Mom says we don’t have to shower
on the weekends
412
00:18:21,391 --> 00:18:23,102
as long as we go in the pool.
413
00:18:23,185 --> 00:18:24,561
- What?
- [Joya] No.
414
00:18:24,686 --> 00:18:26,188
Mm-mm, mm-mm.
415
00:18:26,438 --> 00:18:27,856
[Kenya] Guys, listen.
416
00:18:28,732 --> 00:18:30,359
You’re getting too old for this.
417
00:18:30,442 --> 00:18:32,945
Seriously, this is real...
this is real stuff, man.
418
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:36,240
People aren’t gonna wanna fool with you
if you stink, man.
419
00:18:37,032 --> 00:18:40,035
You know what I’m saying?
How you smell matters. It’s hygiene.
420
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,287
We’re about to have dinner
in a second now.
421
00:18:42,663 --> 00:18:44,915
You guys need to go upstairs
and get in the shower,
422
00:18:44,998 --> 00:18:46,583
or I’m calling the dog groomer.
423
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:50,087
No, that's not an option.
424
00:18:50,170 --> 00:18:52,422
Go shower! That wasn’t a real thing!
425
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,007
And use soap.
426
00:18:55,884 --> 00:18:57,511
Real human soap.
427
00:18:57,594 --> 00:18:58,679
[Kam] Okay!
428
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:04,393
I can't say shit.
I ain’t seen my kid in four months.
429
00:19:04,601 --> 00:19:05,644
[chuckles]
430
00:19:06,436 --> 00:19:09,690
Izzy! Oh, my God.
I saw your Instagram story.
431
00:19:09,773 --> 00:19:11,191
- You killed it.
- [Izzy] Thanks.
432
00:19:11,275 --> 00:19:14,027
So you could have bent your knees
a little bit on the booty pop,
433
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:15,654
but we'll get you there.
434
00:19:16,947 --> 00:19:18,157
Izzy?
435
00:19:20,450 --> 00:19:23,162
Can you not encourage that, please?
436
00:19:23,245 --> 00:19:24,246
Dancing?
437
00:19:24,329 --> 00:19:28,208
So I shouldn’t encourage my little sister
to express herself joyfully to music?
438
00:19:28,292 --> 00:19:30,687
I mean, come on. You act like you never
danced with your friends before.
439
00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:32,462
I do dance with my friends,
440
00:19:32,546 --> 00:19:35,048
but I don't put it out there
for everybody to see.
441
00:19:36,466 --> 00:19:39,511
["Don't Walk Away" by Jade playing]
442
00:19:45,142 --> 00:19:46,435
It's not the same thing.
443
00:19:46,518 --> 00:19:49,271
The Get Down Crew is a semi-professional,
444
00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:53,233
organized dance team
for stress relief and exercise.
445
00:19:53,317 --> 00:19:56,570
You told me it was a mandatory
team-building exercise
446
00:19:56,653 --> 00:19:58,989
- your law firm made you do.
- I love my dancing!
447
00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:00,532
It's all I have!
448
00:20:02,701 --> 00:20:05,037
It is all I have.
449
00:20:07,289 --> 00:20:10,292
Come on, Mom, Izzy’s just posting
like any other kid her age.
450
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:11,376
And everyone twerks.
451
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:14,504
It's like our version of the Twist
or whatever you did growing up.
452
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,508
The Twist? What the hell...
How old do you think I am?
453
00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:22,095
I literally have no idea
how old Mom is.
454
00:20:22,179 --> 00:20:23,179
Do you?
455
00:20:23,764 --> 00:20:24,765
Wow.
456
00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:28,810
Now that I think about it, I have no idea.
457
00:20:29,353 --> 00:20:32,773
She’s gotta be, like,
early 50s, late… 20s?
458
00:20:33,482 --> 00:20:35,859
Sixty would be crazy. She’s not 60. No.
459
00:20:37,486 --> 00:20:40,822
Wow, my mom really might be 60 years old.
460
00:20:41,531 --> 00:20:43,116
No, 60’s crazy. She’s not 60.
461
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:45,786
You know, honestly, it doesn't matter.
462
00:20:45,869 --> 00:20:47,955
- However old she is, she looks great.
- Yeah.
463
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:50,332
She’s had work done, right?
464
00:20:50,832 --> 00:20:53,293
Definitely. But, like, the good work.
465
00:20:53,377 --> 00:20:55,545
- Like J. Lo or Keanu.
- Okay.
466
00:20:55,629 --> 00:20:56,922
Yeah, not like Dad.
467
00:20:57,422 --> 00:20:59,174
Wait, hold up. Dad’s had work done?
468
00:20:59,716 --> 00:21:01,551
Oh, yeah. A lot.
469
00:21:01,635 --> 00:21:05,013
He’s had, like, beard stuff,
a couple tummy tucks.
470
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:07,099
- No way.
- You know, I heard Granny say one time
471
00:21:07,182 --> 00:21:09,268
that he almost died
getting eyelid surgery.
472
00:21:09,351 --> 00:21:11,603
What the fuck was he trying to do
to his eyelids?
473
00:21:11,687 --> 00:21:15,482
Hell, I don’t know.
But it didn’t work. Like, at all.
474
00:21:15,565 --> 00:21:18,860
- Looks like he’s never slept.
- Or drunk water.
475
00:21:19,611 --> 00:21:22,698
Damn. We should really figure out
how old our parents are.
476
00:21:23,198 --> 00:21:25,200
Yeah, we're not great.
477
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:28,787
This is about adultification.
478
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:31,373
There's a really insightful article
that I read...
479
00:21:31,456 --> 00:21:33,959
Oh, my God!
Have you been talking to Drea?
480
00:21:34,584 --> 00:21:36,420
Don't let her spin you out like this.
481
00:21:36,753 --> 00:21:39,965
You’ve had all of this great work done.
You don’t want frown lines.
482
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:45,929
Look, I...
I can't just ignore this, Chlo.
483
00:21:46,013 --> 00:21:50,309
I want my girls to know that sexuality
isn't their only currency, you know?
484
00:21:50,392 --> 00:21:52,853
I mean, isn't that
the whole point of feminism?
485
00:21:52,936 --> 00:21:55,314
- Drea was actually saying...
- No, Drea is not a feminist.
486
00:21:55,397 --> 00:21:56,440
She's a bully.
487
00:21:56,523 --> 00:22:00,152
She's out here telling women
how to act and dress and think.
488
00:22:00,235 --> 00:22:02,529
She's like the Taliban but less fun.
489
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:05,657
I mean, we gotta let Izzy get her life.
490
00:22:05,741 --> 00:22:08,410
This is the moment for girls to do
whatever they want.
491
00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:11,913
Yeah, sure. Unfortunately,
that does not apply to black girls.
492
00:22:11,997 --> 00:22:13,123
Hey, I know that, Mom.
493
00:22:13,206 --> 00:22:16,626
And it's exactly why she has to do
everything her white friends are doing.
494
00:22:17,002 --> 00:22:19,004
Aw. My baby.
495
00:22:19,838 --> 00:22:22,007
I just want to protect her.
496
00:22:22,090 --> 00:22:24,509
Okay, this is the culture now, Mom.
497
00:22:24,593 --> 00:22:27,179
You should be proud of her,
not slut-shaming her.
498
00:22:27,763 --> 00:22:29,222
Are you saying she's a slut?
499
00:22:29,806 --> 00:22:33,268
Oh, my God, my baby girl’s a slut.
Drea's right. I’m a total failure.
500
00:22:33,352 --> 00:22:36,563
My daughter is a slut and it's my fault.
501
00:22:37,105 --> 00:22:39,191
Dude, being a slut isn’t a bad thing.

It is bad-bitch season,
and you have to get with the times!

504
00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:46,323
And strippers are the shit.
505
00:22:46,406 --> 00:22:48,283
God, I hope Chloe is not stripping.
506
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:50,869
And if she is, I hope she’s not doing it
at Spearmint Rhino
507
00:22:50,952 --> 00:22:54,039
‘cause I keep finding matchbooks
from there in your dad’s jeans.
508
00:22:55,248 --> 00:22:57,209
You know what? Fuck it.
509
00:22:58,085 --> 00:23:00,379
That might be the sobering moment
they both need.
510
00:23:00,962 --> 00:23:03,048
That might be the best thing
for both of them.
511
00:23:04,508 --> 00:23:05,508
Huh.
512
00:23:05,884 --> 00:23:06,884
Come on, Mom.
513
00:23:06,927 --> 00:23:09,679
Are you telling me you've never had
your bad-bitch moment?
514
00:23:10,347 --> 00:23:11,431
Um...
515
00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:15,477
Um, not that I...
Not that I can recall, no.
516
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:19,606
If you ever show anyone that photo,
517
00:23:19,689 --> 00:23:22,234
I will have you killed
and I will still cry at your funeral.
518
00:23:24,653 --> 00:23:28,115
If you want to be a good mom, you're
gonna let Izzy dance with her friends
519
00:23:28,198 --> 00:23:29,783
like a normal 13-year-old girl.
520
00:23:30,033 --> 00:23:31,910
And I promise you, if you go up there
521
00:23:31,993 --> 00:23:34,121
and give some weirdo speech
about adultification,
522
00:23:34,204 --> 00:23:35,556
you're just gonna make things way worse,
523
00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:37,958
and she's not gonna want
to talk to you about anything.
524
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:44,923
You know what? Just throw everything
I said about gentrification out.
525
00:23:45,006 --> 00:23:46,686
Gentrification has nothing to do
with this.
526
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:48,677
This box represents black culture.
527
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,762
Right? That’s the blackness of the box.
528
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:52,281
- [Danny] Right.
- This is black culture.
529
00:23:52,305 --> 00:23:54,433
And the white flecks are, like...
530
00:23:54,516 --> 00:23:56,852
the white people coming in and push...
531
00:23:56,977 --> 00:23:58,812
Okay, okay, that’s gentrification.
532
00:23:58,895 --> 00:24:00,522
- So don’t throw it all out,
- Oh, okay.
533
00:24:00,605 --> 00:24:04,693
because that’s something to do with this.
So the white diamond flecks represent…
534
00:24:06,403 --> 00:24:10,532
gentrifica... represent white gentrifica...
you know, black gentr...
535
00:24:10,824 --> 00:24:12,826
You can't escape blackness, dude.
536
00:24:12,909 --> 00:24:15,287
It's a black box
that you can't get out of, man.
537
00:24:15,370 --> 00:24:16,621
You know what I'm saying?
538
00:24:16,788 --> 00:24:21,293
Uh, so should I just tell your urologist
you'll call him back or...
539
00:24:23,128 --> 00:24:26,173
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hey, guys.
Can you come here for a second?
540
00:24:26,882 --> 00:24:28,258
Yeah. What's up?
541
00:24:29,259 --> 00:24:30,969
Does this... Does this feel right to you?
542
00:24:31,636 --> 00:24:33,472
I mean, my clothes are a little tight.
543
00:24:33,555 --> 00:24:36,683
- Clothes are a little tight?
- Mine feel pretty loose.
544
00:24:36,766 --> 00:24:37,893
Like, really loose?
545
00:24:37,976 --> 00:24:40,103
Almost like they could fit his body?
546
00:24:40,187 --> 00:24:43,106
And do yours feel
almost like they could fit his body?
547
00:24:43,773 --> 00:24:45,901
To be fair, it was an honest mistake.
548
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:47,736
Having said that, though,
549
00:24:48,361 --> 00:24:49,905
I do not hate this.
550
00:24:50,363 --> 00:24:53,241
Me neither. I like the room.
551
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:55,202
You know, I can be myself.
552
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:59,539
I like to move.
But, you know, I’m... I’m a casual guy.
553
00:24:59,623 --> 00:25:03,752
And I’m more into, like, a Euro fit.
I feel like I'm in my true form.
554
00:25:04,586 --> 00:25:08,381
And if our Dad spent more time with us,
I’m pretty sure he’d know that.
555
00:25:08,465 --> 00:25:10,967
Why would I want to spend more time
with them? They're idiots.
556
00:25:11,051 --> 00:25:12,761
I mean, they're small idiots.
557
00:25:14,387 --> 00:25:17,224
[sighs] I'm sorry, I don't mean that.
I mean...
558
00:25:17,307 --> 00:25:19,643
they are idiots, but maybe this
559
00:25:20,435 --> 00:25:21,811
is a little bit on me.
560
00:25:22,103 --> 00:25:25,815
I mean, I've been so busy trying to, like,
build a legacy around them,
561
00:25:26,441 --> 00:25:27,943
I guess I could have neglected
562
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:31,363
who they are and what they're becoming.
I guess that's possible.
563
00:25:33,782 --> 00:25:35,367
No, fuck that.
564
00:25:35,659 --> 00:25:37,869
This is genetic. It's in their marrow.
565
00:25:38,161 --> 00:25:40,038
Joya’s little brothers are weirdos.
566
00:25:40,163 --> 00:25:42,791
They're gonna bottom out at Chico State
and get hooked on Lean.
567
00:25:42,874 --> 00:25:43,917
I can smell it.
568
00:25:45,043 --> 00:25:46,211
Bixby,
569
00:25:46,586 --> 00:25:48,505
remind me to change my will.
570
00:25:49,130 --> 00:25:50,882
Call lawyer immediately.
571
00:25:52,259 --> 00:25:55,887
Look at part with Joya.
May take her out, too.
572
00:25:57,055 --> 00:25:58,932
Genetic defects.
573
00:26:00,642 --> 00:26:01,810
I... I'll take the call.
574
00:26:02,227 --> 00:26:03,687
He said to just come in.
575
00:26:04,312 --> 00:26:05,146
Fuck!
576
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:07,357
I'm sure it's fine.
I'm sure it's good news.
577
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,692
It's probably good news.
578
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,280
You want one?
579
00:26:14,823 --> 00:26:15,865
You know I do.
580
00:26:16,366 --> 00:26:17,367
Take this one.
581
00:26:18,159 --> 00:26:19,786
[Joya sighs]
582
00:26:23,498 --> 00:26:26,543
Whoa. I was gonna tell you
I thought I messed up with the boys,
583
00:26:26,626 --> 00:26:27,961
but are you okay?
584
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:29,920
I just...
585
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:32,299
I don’t know what to do about Izzy.
I feel like…
586
00:26:33,174 --> 00:26:36,177
I need to press her, you know,
or I'm about to lose her,
587
00:26:36,261 --> 00:26:38,805
but if I press her, I could also lose her.
588
00:26:39,681 --> 00:26:41,099
Wanna talk about it, babe?
589
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:43,225
Not really.
590
00:26:44,227 --> 00:26:45,227
You sure?
591
00:26:46,146 --> 00:26:48,898
It’s just, like, with Chloe.
It was so clear who she was.
592
00:26:48,982 --> 00:26:52,319
You know, she was like extroverted
and social and bubbly.
593
00:26:52,652 --> 00:26:55,780
And Drea was, like,
this introverted, cerebral...
594
00:26:55,864 --> 00:26:58,700
And at some point have to let go.
I mean, that’s something I do know.
595
00:26:58,783 --> 00:27:01,286
I just felt like
it wasn’t gonna be this soon, so...
596
00:27:01,369 --> 00:27:04,456
Normally, the double ask works.
Like, every time.
597
00:27:05,081 --> 00:27:06,750
But when it backfires,
598
00:27:06,833 --> 00:27:10,253
Jesus Christ, does it backfire!
599
00:27:10,337 --> 00:27:14,049
It’s like I... like I knew
how to parent them, you know?
600
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:17,135
‘Cause they were who they were,
601
00:27:17,218 --> 00:27:20,764
and I just kind of watched them
become the best versions of themselves.
602
00:27:20,847 --> 00:27:23,308
But with Izzy,
it’s like I don’t know who she is yet,
603
00:27:23,391 --> 00:27:24,994
- so I don't really know...
- [Kenya] Mm-hm.
604
00:27:25,018 --> 00:27:26,936
...what to say to her or how to help her.
605
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:27,896
[Kenya grunts]
606
00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:29,731
- I'm sorry. Am I rambling?
- No.
607
00:27:29,814 --> 00:27:32,901
- I'm rambling.
- No, you're... Go. Please continue.
608
00:27:32,984 --> 00:27:35,820
It’s just, like, I really thought
that I would have her for longer.
609
00:27:35,904 --> 00:27:38,156
Like, that’s my baby,
that’s my baby girl, you know?
610
00:27:38,239 --> 00:27:39,949
- Oh, my God.
- I feel like I'm losing her.
611
00:27:40,033 --> 00:27:42,160
My... My nose is bleeding.
612
00:27:42,243 --> 00:27:45,747
I'll be... Yeah. You can’t see the blood,
though, but it’s bleeding.
613
00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:46,830
I'll be right back.
614
00:27:46,873 --> 00:27:48,875
- You okay?
- Yea, I'm fine, babe.
615
00:27:48,958 --> 00:27:52,128
It’s bloodless.
Bloodless nosebleed. It happens.
616
00:27:52,796 --> 00:27:53,922
I love you.
617
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:00,512
[knocking]
618
00:28:00,637 --> 00:28:01,637
Stink?
619
00:28:04,015 --> 00:28:05,015
Hi, Stink.
620
00:28:05,558 --> 00:28:06,893
Hi, you have a minute?
621
00:28:07,185 --> 00:28:08,186
[Izzy] No, not really.
622
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:11,356
[Joya] Okay, well, um,
[clicks tongue] I just...
623
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:13,274
I've been wanting to talk to you about...
624
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,194
If you're here to talk
about the dancing video, don't worry.
625
00:28:16,277 --> 00:28:17,487
I... I already took it down.
626
00:28:18,113 --> 00:28:18,947
You did?
627
00:28:19,030 --> 00:28:21,991
I take all my videos down,
like, an hour after I post it.
628
00:28:22,367 --> 00:28:24,452
Don't want my content getting stale.
629
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:25,536
Oh.
630
00:28:25,745 --> 00:28:28,873
[chuckles] Okay.
Yeah, that's cool. Very cool.
631
00:28:28,957 --> 00:28:30,333
No... No stale content.
632
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:34,045
Did you tell Caleb’s parents
that I can’t make it to the sleepover?
633
00:28:35,255 --> 00:28:38,800
[sighs] You know what? I haven't,
I'm sorry. I'll do that.
634
00:28:38,925 --> 00:28:40,635
- I'm sorry.
- Great. Thanks, Mom.
635
00:28:43,138 --> 00:28:44,389
Honey, what...
636
00:28:44,472 --> 00:28:45,807
What's going on? You okay?
637
00:28:46,975 --> 00:28:48,935
Yeah, I’m fine. Everything’s great.
638
00:28:50,186 --> 00:28:51,186
Okay.
639
00:28:51,938 --> 00:28:54,107
I’ll leave you to refresh your content.
640
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,400
Mom?
641
00:28:57,610 --> 00:29:02,115
Remember last week when the entire team
was at Caleb's house?
642
00:29:03,324 --> 00:29:04,324
Yeah.
643
00:29:04,367 --> 00:29:06,453
We were playing 2K like we always do,
644
00:29:06,536 --> 00:29:09,414
and then everyone decided
they wanted to play ball,
645
00:29:09,497 --> 00:29:11,040
so I switched up my clothes,
646
00:29:11,124 --> 00:29:13,793
and when I came out,
everyone was looking at me crazy.
647
00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:16,379
I didn't know why
until Caleb came up to me
648
00:29:16,463 --> 00:29:18,798
and whispered that
I should probably go put a bra on.
649
00:29:19,132 --> 00:29:20,175
No!
650
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:21,759
Yeah.
651
00:29:22,218 --> 00:29:23,261
It's just...
652
00:29:23,678 --> 00:29:24,804
weird now.
653
00:29:24,888 --> 00:29:26,639
Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
654
00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:30,143
That's why you don't want to go
tonight to his house.
655
00:29:30,852 --> 00:29:34,105
Yeah. It’s, like, overnight,
everything’s different.
656
00:29:34,189 --> 00:29:36,024
Yeah, I can imagine.
657
00:29:37,692 --> 00:29:38,818
It's just awkward now.
658
00:29:39,652 --> 00:29:41,237
Yeah, I get that, but...
659
00:29:41,946 --> 00:29:44,866
he’s your friend, right?
For a long time? You gonna just...
660
00:29:45,408 --> 00:29:46,868
stop being friends with him?
661
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:48,411
[scoffs] No, Caleb's my boy.
662
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:51,372
I just think the sleepover days
might be over.
663
00:29:53,166 --> 00:29:54,166
It's fine.
664
00:29:55,376 --> 00:29:56,920
But he'll still be my friend.
665
00:29:57,462 --> 00:29:58,462
Okay.
666
00:29:58,713 --> 00:29:59,923

["Home Again" by Michael Kiwanuka
playing]
668
00:30:04,844 --> 00:30:07,096
In life, everyone faces pressure.
669
00:30:07,514 --> 00:30:10,308
And, as black people, we face a lot.

to overcome that pressure

00:30:19,108 --> 00:30:21,277
is what celebrating Juneteenth

[Drea] Because with enough pressure,
what do you get?

00:30:29,577 --> 00:30:30,620
Diamonds.
677

Shining brightest

Illuminating those precious moments like

00:30:41,256 --> 00:30:43,883
knowing you're going to have your baby
for a little bit longer.

- Yes!
- Buckets!

[Drea] And it turns out
that's what this painting was all about.

00:31:06,531 --> 00:31:08,700
I mean, I don't get it.
688
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:12,745
I do. I’m actually the artist who made it.
Knowledge Bennet.
689
00:31:13,288 --> 00:31:15,498
Oh, my God.
I’m... I'm so sorry. [chuckling]

I’m Joya. I’m Kenya’s wife.
691
00:31:17,834 --> 00:31:19,544
It’s a painting about spirituality.
692
00:31:19,627 --> 00:31:21,546
It's a painting about the essence
of who we are.
693
00:31:21,629 --> 00:31:23,923
As black people,
we're so many different things;

variations of so many different colors.
695
00:31:26,050 --> 00:31:28,303
And it's the sum total
of all of these colors
696
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:30,346
that presents blackness
in its purest form;
697
00:31:30,638 --> 00:31:32,724
in all of its brilliance,
all of its splendor.

- Thank you. I appreciate that.
- Hold on, what?

You get it?

That's a literally word for word

Almost verbatim.

That's literally nothing

Did you talk about gentrification?

- No. No.
