Here's the Thing

Absolutely, yeah.

So here's the thing.

You know, sometimes you, [scoffs] you go to a master class, and, um, you learn lot of things, um, in that class.

And then afterward it helps you a little bit f- you know, for a few more weeks.

I'm, I'm like, damn, I'm sitting there watching on the couch, okay, Ocho, how come they can't see that from a replay? Well, I mean, I, I didn't see no PI, bro, off-

I, I think the thing is the receiver did a great job of selling it because-

Oh

... as he was jerking-

16-zero at half and you blow that?

Yeah.

But ev- I think the thing was is that they hurt themselves with the penalties, getting backed up.

Those...

Just like if we won a sports Emmy on "The Dan Patrick Show," we probably wouldn't allow you to have beer.

See, here's the thing.

I was like 22, even though everybody thought I was in high school.

[laughs]

Okay.

So here's the thing.

I don't want them to get to 100 wins.

And I'll tell you why.

I don't know what I'm talking about.

This is, like, the thing I am least familiar with maybe in my whole life is corporate BS politics.

I can just tell you what I would do.

That's what I'd do.

Sure.

And the thing is that-

It's the Woody Allen movie.

He walks out of the doctor, he's like, "Oh God, oh God." You know, he's like, they told him he has a brain tumor, and he's walking down the street, "I'm gonna die."

She told me she's hoping for a new play to come her way.

This is Alec Baldwin.

You're listening to Here's the Thing.

[upbeat jazz music]

Explain to me why i- i- is the system broke?

broke?You know, the thing is, is that if you can't fix one problem without solving another, and so student loan debt, the, the problem really begins at the foundation, which is helping people borrow money for college.

And so unless, Rashawn, we make it free, free 99 in the United States of America, um, this is a trillion dollar problem that really doesn't have a solution.

So even if there was to be massive loan forgiveness, what about next semester when there are new borrowers that accumulate new debt? And so that's why you see different things, uh, and different conversations about loan forgiveness and just the system itself.

I think I was about 26, 27, and it hit me-

Uh-huh

... just the things that we just said, I'm like, "Oh my God.

This credit is important, I wanna buy a house," and just life was hitting me, right, as a young adult, and I had a good professional career working in the city of Philadelphia in higher education.
