There’s a scene with Tracy Jordan and the writing room in that, to be perfectly honest, does not hold up to a 2022 lens in its entirety. However, at it’s core, it has a good message (albeit not perfectly phrased — but that’s the point). It ends with Tracy, in a very loving manner, saying, “Freaky deakies need love too; freaky deakies need love too.”
That’s what we’re doing today.
