[#108] Uncensored - Maya Got Roasted
Added 2025-01-15 20:00:00 +0000 UTC
This week, Maya and QT dive into cocaine sharks, Maya's experience with depression, QT's review of "I'm Tim", Maya's Twitter roast, and hilarious realizations about ponies, hay, and more.
When the new Postal Service logo came out, they ran ads with the song I want to fly like an eagle.

I always knew Babe Ruth was white, but I'm biased because I'm a baseball fan and particularly a Dodgers fan. So, I obviously knew that Jackie Robinson was the first black player in the MLB and broke the racial barrier, Babe Ruth played in a segregated league.

white afab with zero interest in sports, i knew babe ruth was white. i did, however, convince myself for years that watership down was about military stuff.
when i was little i remembered hearing that there was a movie called "'something' down" that was about animals, so when i saw a movie called "black hawk down" was on TV i assumed 'oh! that must be it!'. needless to say my confusion and disappointment were immeasurable.
when later i heard people talking about watership down i only remembered my betrayal and thought, "well surely if it's called waterSHIP down it has to be another war story, that's definitely not for me."
it wasn't until 4 years ago when my spouse got a graphic novelization that i realized, "wait....it's about rabbits?!". i've now read both that version and the original, and i don't know if i'll ever be able to forgive myself for depriving my childhood self a book i would've been obsessed with.

the idea that depression is a chemical imbalance really hasnt been verified by the evidence. it kind of stems from pharmaceutical companies trying to push their drugs. some people are genetically predisposed to depression, have childhoods or traumatic experiences that give rise to depressive symptoms, and/or undergo an experience that triggers a depressive episode that can evolve into major depressive disorder. can depression medications help people? yes but they need paired with other interventions like therapy or emdr etc. but the evidence suggesting it is a chemical imbalance stems from the use of drugs in depression treatment. mayas point about it not being something you can think out of might be from the structure of the brain and lacking other ways of thinking but even that is a little controversial.

lol freud was a disbarred psychologist and all of his findings were unfounded and disproven. cocaine is a stimulant. for those with adhd cocaine actually helps them focus. no obviously dont take it and its not prescribed for people with adhd. but does have some benefits. also an easy way to find out if u might have adhd ig lol. and depression is a "chemical imbalance" (as in levels of chemicals/hormones/etc are not working together) but there is not good evidence of specific chemicals (serotonin) being the reason depression occurs. what is now debated is which combination of chemicals and other things are not working and also whether the imbalance caused the depression or depression caused the imbalance (basically the chicken or the egg question)

I went down a Google spiral. The Babe Ruth thing was crazy! I grew up knowing he was white. But also, not Ludwig saying he was a racist hahaha. I think Babe Ruth was perceived as black because he didn’t believe in segregation and he was the minority of that opinion in that time. Legend 🫶🏻 What a wild Mandela effect though.

I "knew" warm drinks helped warm you up when you're cold (because drinking a hot drink should make someone less cold), but I also thought it was 90% a vibes thing to drink hot stuff in winter (since I grew up in south Texas). It wasn't until I went to college a bit further north and would drink coffee while walking between classes when I realized hot drinks actually warmed you up quite a lot

As a baseball fan Im just glad people still know who Babe Ruth is. Im a Red Sox fan so I grew up hearing about the Curse of the Bambino (trading Ruth to the Yankees) a lot. Luckily that curse was lifted in 2004.

undiagnosed adhd here and i have always said that cocaine is underwhelming and i don’t understand why people do it. My big proof of adhd is feeling basically nothing when i do cocaine. Not very fun. And i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again to anyone reading this. Don’t do cocaine. Just smoke some weed lol. Shit is boring and expensive

Black man here, also thought babe Ruth was black when I was younger. Took a black history class in high school and learned he wasn’t but due to his facial features and “support” of black people, he was coined as black by whites derogatorily. You’re not alone Maya!

It must be that Jackie Robinson gets a passing mention in American school lessons about civil rights history. And like the only 3 pre-1960s baseball players that non-sports people know of are probably Joe DiMaggio (obviously Italian), Jackie Robinson (trailblazing African American player), and Babe Ruth (whom evidently nobody knows a single thing about). And then later their brain vaguely ascribes the story/ethnicity of Jackie Robinson to both Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth?
That's the only way I can make sense of it. I'm Canadian and don't particularly watch any sports, but I knew Babe Ruth was the chubby white guy, and Jackie Robinson was the famous first black player to integrate with white player leagues.

Just wanted to note that Babe Ruth definitely was not racist, he championed the integration of black players into the MLB, and he would play in minor leagues so that he could play against the NML( I'll let y'all figure out what the N stands for). Owing to all that, there were rumors that he was actually a light skinned black man because of his ferverent support of the black cause and his love for Harlem. Its actually a pretty interesting read if anybody wants to look deeper into it.

New Zealand viewer here. I also though Babe Ruth was black and 90% of our tv (that wasn't sport) is/was American shows. No idea where where it came from.
Also, didn't learn that ponies were a completely separate animal to horses until my late 20's.

2025-01-16 21:45:58 +0000 UTC
I was like oh yea of course Maya doesn't know who Babe Ruth is, but then Connor and others confusion had me baffled. I guess the only time baseball is really mentioned in school is during civil rights history. People's brains then go Babe Ruth = baseball = civil rights = first black player? Or maybe it's that almost all the photos of him are in black and white.

The next level of the hot drink/temperature discourse-- hot drinks help you cool down when it's hot outside, because they induce sweating and sweating cools you down.

I think the babe Ruth thing is a matter of whether you follow sports to any degree. If you do you’ve probably seen at least one picture or know the time period he played during. If not, well, most pro athletes are not white so you just assume!

There are varying degrees and types of depression. Some can be worked on with talk therapy, others need medication, others need more intense treatment etc etc. I think the problem tends to be that people think there’s a miracle pill where you take it and you’re cured or that one therapy session will magically make you snap out of it, when the reality is that it’s a long road to recovery. This can get very frustrating for people and they quit before feeling the effects of a long term solution. Also, if you go in with the mindset that this won’t work or that what the dr is telling you is BS and you don’t even try it, you’re setting yourself up to have the treatment not have the effect it would if you opened your mind to it.

Not to be a "well actually" type but drinking warm drinks doesn't technically make you warmer. The blood vessels in your mouth constrict due to the heat and that causes you to go flush for a moment which your body may respond to with causing you to sweat which is the body's attempt to COOL you down. So if anything it makes you colder, but your perception of the cold around you changes very briefly because you go flush. In reality your body temperature doesn't change very much at all and if you are in cold weather you will still need a jacket or whatever to actually warm up. So you weren't even wrong, you got dogpiled for no reason.
[SOURCE] "Yes, the hot drink is hotter than your body temperature, so you are adding heat to the body, but the amount that you increase your sweating by—if that can all evaporate—more than compensates for the the added heat to the body from the fluid."

This is not true Adderall is amphetamine meth is methamphetamine. They are similar but not the same thing. Adderall is much more mild and less addictive than meth.

I've for sure had a teacher in elementary talk about how hot drinks make you warm and cold drinks make you cool, but maybe it's just because I live in an area of Canada where we get the extremes of the temperature spectrum.

Some people def think Babe Ruth was black due to misremembering baseball history but there's def people that speculate that he was due to his features and fondness for the Negro League. The latter has always been a thing.

A fun fact people might not know is that temperature is just how fast the atoms in a thing are moving. So something being hotter than another thing means that the atoms are vibrating faster than in the colder thing. The coldest something can be is called absolute zero and it’s -273.15°C or -459.67°F. This would mean the atoms are not moving at all which is probably impossible but we have gotten very close. I don’t think we know for sure if there is a max on temperature but at some point all the energy would create a black hole at least in classical physics.
Mikey
2025-01-16 02:55:17 +0000 UTC
Babe Ruth was “white” but white teammates used to call him “N word Lips” and tease him about not being white enough. He was likely mixed or Hispanic white.
