Heard on an episode of Code Switch podcast, said by Hari Kondabulu at 
the approx. 7:53 mark:

starting around 7:38 mark: (my lame-ass transcription, not following any 
of the conventions that I was taught for transcribing speech):

"There's just so much talk and there's a cynicism and you get burned out 
from all the talk and the things whether it's safety pins or some other 
thing to show like I'm on your team. Like after a while it's like I I 
don't need that, I want you to Minneapolis this shit, you know what I mean?"
