Oh, she joins a cult.
This is a cult. He literally is like, we're going to take all his property and I'm going to have several wives. This is exactly what a cult is.
Yeah. He didn't invent the wheel.
We all choose toxic people.
But like all she's known are red flags her whole life. All right. I bring the up like a relationship expert would look at this and be like it. You know, it was bad from the beginning in her upbringing. And then she met John, who would prepare the toxic relationship for this guy, Matthias, who beats her. And she stayed. Oh, I love this. And I hate this.
They didn't teach us this in kindergarten when we were drawing her a picture on a piece of worksheet and coloring it in. They were just like, ain't I a woman? She's a feminist. The end. Not like, oh, she joins a cult and is like all up with the cult leader who is super toxic and then he poisons. I mean, but this is this is exciting. This is sexy stuff.
Sounds like she's also the reason that employers now require a minimum of two weeks. Yeah, exactly.
One hour. One hour.
Such a hippie. I'm into it. We never saw this part.
Because she's on the Underground Railroad. It's a stop. Did Harriet be like, hey, handshake? Like, I love it. It's like, you know, it's like the fingers touching on the Sistine Chapel. It's like, ah. I mean, if it's not her, then it's Frederick Douglass.
Okay.
She was busy on the ground, you know, breaking people out of prison. Yes, doing the whole thing. She was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll meet her later. All right, I have a few things going on. But if she's speaking, so is Frederick Douglass, so I'm sure that they would, like, be sitting on plenty of panels together.
Did you do that at the beginning? Because no one's going to find that in the middle if they haven't already bought the book.
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, for the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, are we surprised that she gave her an endorsement that was a little bit sort of not as as woke as we would have enjoyed before? for the time, but also I think there are always artists who are like, yeah, they don't fully get me, but everybody listens to them, you know, even now.
You can't handle the truth. Abolitionist totally destroys other abolitionists on stage at the Chuckle Hut. I mean, yeah, because it's like, look, I know you're Frederick Douglass, but are you ready to be Nietzsche right now? Is God dead? Or are you just showing your weakness right now? I mean, she's like, don't mess with me. I've been in two cults. That's true.
You don't want to know how determined and strong my faith is.
I mean, I'm just saying, like, I mean, my predecessor here, like, although I'm probably not going to sing on stage anytime soon, but you never know. If it works, it works. You know, it's interesting, her approach. You know, there's always been, there's always a back and forth within sort of Black progress about like...
Elaine Locke and Zora Neale Hurston did the same thing about like, you know, can you use vernacular and can you be relatable to people or does it need to be about like the talented 10th and all of this other stuff? So like, you know, you need both. Like you need a Malcolm and a Martin. Like you need both sides of this. So it's amazing that, you know, yeah, she didn't learn how to read.
She learned how to have a reputation. She also flexed her biceps. She sort of, you know, she showed off her guns. She's a show woman. Yeah. Come on. There's songs. There's stories. There's Jesus. There's guns. But not the kind Frederick Douglass is talking about. Yeah. Because God is very much alive. Exactly.
