They be saying, 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.240 wild ship. This is what cracks me up about Spike, 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:58.880 especially like people don't have a ring up. 0:00:59.240 --> 0:00:59.960 You have to break. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.560 See what we're talking about that you jumped your ass 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.680 and I stayed out of you lying and a half. 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:11.399 It was you last week, b it was both of them. 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.679 I get in it. I was you were I did not. 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:20.080 I was likely. I was asked questions. 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.640 I don't what happened when she Well, they were you know, 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:25.680 they were just being girl. 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.040 I think you just got comfortable. It was like that 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.360 the real cue. It was about Rod last weekend came 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:44.200 in talking about people being were off welfare. 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.800 She said, there's a time limit as far as you 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.000 being in the system, as far as welfare Section eight? 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:50.880 How did that come up? 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:56.000 And he just brought it up, she said, dropped. There 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:57.320 was a conversation before that. 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.280 We were talking about something coming off the page, and 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.600 she asked, Mike, if he thinks that they should. 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:09.200 Be turned, you jumped your ass and anything that I 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.240 jumped in that I would stand on. And I feel 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.040 like it was controversial when y'all were telling me that 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.040 the kid who couldn't read ain't got that much to 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:20.160 do with it. No, that seats loves to spin ship, 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.960 Spike said. The Spike said the accountability should be on 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:24.640 the child. 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.919 I said, somewhat if I'm fifteen years. 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.040 Were you as a father, if if if your son 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.000 was just skating through because he was, let's say, he's 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.040 too embarrassed to come tell you I can't read as 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:37.840 well as I should. 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.120 Actually, the question both of y'all are you. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.720 Gonna blame him or more you're gonna put more blame 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.200 on the teachers. I mean, I mean, come on, what 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.280 are we talking about? And I don't even have a kid. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.400 So my old point was, why would you victim blame 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.480 a child? And Spike wants to spin it around like 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.680 he didn't do that. Both of them were doing that. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.360 I'm not a victim. You are victim blamed. That child 0:02:58.400 --> 0:02:58.840 is a victim. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.959 Did just see the story of Baltimore. This lady she 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.919 tried to suit the Baltimore Public School system because her 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.079 son thought that he was graduating. But when they looked 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.040 it up, he had two credits, but they had just 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:09.920 been passing him along. 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.040 He was taking the classes. They had never passed the class. 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.760 She's blaming the school for the Okay, what's your point. 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.440 How is that the school's fault. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:17.960 The school passed them through. 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.079 He was just going to the other class. She's swing 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.040 because she thought he was going to graduate. She never 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.600 checked a report card, she hadn't been to a PTA meeting, 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:27.560 she never done any of those. 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.400 Okay, then it's the school's fucking fault, the school job, 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:36.360 but the child. 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.480 True, Yes, I agree, it is somewhat the school's fault. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.160 But why does that child think that they're going to graduate. 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:46.320 Because they're a child, because they are from somewhere, But 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.560 they was just being moved along to the different classes 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.640 without passing the classes because the school didn't want to 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.200 just keep him BA because they couldn't. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.080 Afford to do. So that's the child's fault. I'm not 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.200 saying that's a child's fault, but what's going Does the 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.800 child be like them? I'm not learning anything. I don't 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:06.200 take that is so unrealistic. And rarely hold kids back. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.320 They move them to the next stage and they're hoping 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.680 that they will learned at the next grade level. 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:11.880 Too, So that's happening. 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.119 They will move them along and they also sometimes will 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.040 call the parents and ask them what they will prefer 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.200 to do as well. This has happened, not to me, 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.640 but I've heard the stories of this happening to other people. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:28.200 Uh personally so, but yeah, that stuff will happen. However, 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:33.239 the schools should be calling the parents and letting them. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.920 Know your child is not. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.440 On his assignments and what you can also this, this 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.880 is what was being completely ignored last week, is it's 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.839 not even just the school itselfs fault. I'm not even 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.600 saying it's the teacher's fault. That entire school system is 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:55.080 fucked up where the teacher is overloaded and and and underpaid, 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.560 and doesn't have the resources and time to spend with 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.000 each kid to make sure they're earning everything. That's the problem. 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.839 They have a problem. See Rod already tuned out. No, no 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.080 conversation last I'm fucking the conversation last week was him 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.760 and Q had a problem with the statement that is 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.560 the system's fault. 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.000 They didn't want to accept that. 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.560 They're like, well, nah, the student is doing this, and 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:18.600 the student is doing that. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.080 The student is just trying to get by. Yeah, that's it. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.040 But y'all are acting like a fucking fifteen year old 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.520 should have the brain power of a twenty eight year old. 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:28.880 Their kids me. 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.800 In two different arguments. You're talking about that and then 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:31.880 the welfare. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.440 Thing because because. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.960 But what it was is they gave a two four 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.520 of ignorance, right. They started off with, well, we're gonna 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:46.320 blame They definitely started with bush, We're gonna blame students 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.960 for not taking accountability, for not learning certain things or 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.440 not bringing up that I need extra help. We're gonna 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.520 blame the student for that. Then we're gonna blame poor 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.120 people for being on the welfare system. Iding you threw 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.440 a couple of little nice you do a couple of 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.280 little nice ones out there purposely. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.359 But look, the school thing, I just couldn't. I just 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.440 don't understand how I get you. 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.400 As far as yes, the system should be held accountable, 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.719 teachers should be held you can stop there. I'm saying. 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.800 I'm going no, you agree with you that on that part. 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.640 And then what I'm adding to is the accountability still 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.760 lies with the parent with the child as well. If 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.080 I'm fifteen or sixteen years old, then I can't read. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.000 I have to do something about that. It ain't on 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:31.200 the school like. 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:32.839 You have to do. That's the craziest thing. 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:38.040 But Spike, some of these kids was what I was 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:43.320 gonna say. If if there are no if there are 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:48.080 no adults invested in them, then they will continue to 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:49.440 just move forward. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.480 Down the wrong path, even if they don't want to. 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.599 That's the way the system makes them. Absolutely Like, That's 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.240 the part that y'all were not understanding or at least ignoring, 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.799 is the system is making the students or the teachers 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:07.160 do this. It's not their fault. The teacher would love 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.560 to spend extra time with the special needs kid. You're 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:10.680 not giving them the tools. 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.320 And I can see if they were engaging, trying to 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.000 help the kid, and the kid just refuse to do it, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.560 you know. But I'm just saying, at least there were 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.000 actions taken. Then you have to try to figure out 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.160 why that kid is reluctant to learn, So then you 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.560 got to start probing into the issues of why. But yeah, 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.320 if you anoy a kid, they're just gonna go through 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:29.320 and do what they do. 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.880 And I still think parenting is still a big part 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.440 of that. It's a team effort, but it definitely starts 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:34.880 at the school. 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.560 There's a percentage. It sounds like what you're. 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.920 But the kid is the last percentage. That's the last percentage. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:44.520 It's it's the system itself, the school system itself, then 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.240 the teachers, then the parents, then the kid. 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.400 I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm just saying that the 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:51.640 kids do have a percentage. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.360 Okay, so we're all going to agree that the kid 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:55.080 has two percent of the. 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:58.600 To be higher. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:05.640 Fifteen he liing Rod, because you just gentified fifteen to 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:06.160 twenty percent. 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.520 He's lying Rod. Last week he was like that kid 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.240 should have said something, that kid should have. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.480 It definitely felt like it was Yeah, Yeah, he got 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.480 beat up by Reddit now he's trying to I don't 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.400 know him and Q got beat up by Reddit. I 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.000 didn't even look at that much at it, but it 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.920 was it was it bad, bad, Yeah, it was some people. 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.160 There were some people that appreciated the conversation from two 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:29.320 different perspectives. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.640 But nobody agree with your ass n Yes, some people 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:31.160 agree with me. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.160 Actually find them. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.680 It was it was like it was a couple of 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:40.240 posts that were in cur positions, you know, but but 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.319 now there you know, it's it's just interesting if I 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.760 think we hypothetically say these things, if just I think 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.520 we even said the last week of the school system 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.440 got the budget of the defense department. Yeah, you know, 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.760 if everything was created equally across the board. But it's 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:58.720 politicized as much as as a lot of things are. 0:08:58.760 --> 0:08:59.200 I read them. 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.640 Spending on school was then sending somebody to the moon 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:02.480 to take pictures. 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.079 You did, did you see that? You see them drop down? 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:12.679 Yes? I watched it. It was playing in the background. Yeah, 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.719 I said, thing to watch the whole ship much. Oh. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.959 It started with with the jay Z conversation. M I 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.800 don't remember exactly what the details were, but it was 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:20.760 something about jay Z. 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:22.960 That's what aout philanthropy. 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.840 I think it evolved from U stuff like that, Yeah, 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.679 responsibility of wealthy people to something. 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.199 Like that, But I don't remember why that even. I 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.360 think it was something Jays saying, Oprah and Childer period, 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.240 like we were saying all them people should be having 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:37.760 schools and things of that nature. 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.240 Yeah that that that turned into you know, the school 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.800 system and it's on the kids to bring up that 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:45.680 they're having problems. 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.360 Then that turned into poor. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.400 People shouldn't you know, be able to take advantage of 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:50.880 the government. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.480 Let me ask you who helped y'all when struggling in 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:54.400 school if y'all ever. 0:09:54.360 --> 0:10:00.600 Had I'm not dumb like y'all, so it I didn't 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.439 have learning disabilities. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.520 I had social disabilities. So the classes that I was 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.200 feeling like I brought them last week were classes where 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.280 people were fucking with me and nobody helped me. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.040 But you didn't ever have like algebra, like geometry that 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.679 gave you trouble anything? Oh oh, yes, yes, happened my mom. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.840 I have that kind of relationship with my mother because 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:22.280 my mother. 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:22.720 Is a teacher. 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.960 So I can't have bad grades, you know what I'm saying. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:26.760 So I had to come. 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.520 Back and be like, look, i'm bad at multiplication. So 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.040 she bought me schoolhouse rock and that fixed it. But 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.480 not everybody has that relationship with their parents. Some are 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.760 afraid to tell their mother because their mother might be 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.920 mad at them, they might be disappointed in them, they 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.760 might get in trouble, they might beat them, who knows. 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.640 That's what I'm saying. The last bit of responsibility I'm 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.240 looking at is that child. That child, there's a reason 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.040 that kid ain't going home and saying, ma, I'm bad 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:52.800 at I'm bad at social studies. 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.600 There's a reason because I personalize it more so it's 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.960 probably my defense, I mean, my staying on him because 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.080 if I struggled in school, like my mom was just like, 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:02.960 figure it the fuck out. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.640 You're smart, Like yeah, but that's unfair. Not every kid 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:05.959 can do that. 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:10.959 And I feel like it was personalized, but that probably 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.640 happened later on, right, no earlier, no one ever, Like 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.800 my mom worked two jobs my whole upbringing, so no 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.680 one ever helped me with my homework anything of that nature. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.920 It's like, you have homework to do, go do it. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.920 I don't got time to help you figure it out. 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.840 They didn't teach you anything in school today, Like what 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.920 did you learn apply that to the homework? 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.320 So what point can you recall it that happened that 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:31.920 you had to start kind of figuring things out on 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:32.320 your own. 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.000 The whole school ride, like yeah, like my mom was 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.800 from so I went to school from my grand great 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.440 grandparents house actually, and this was from first grade to 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.559 my senior year of high school. So when I got 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.079 out of school, she was at work and the assignment 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.560 is do your homework. Then you go outside and play 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:51.960 or do whatever you want to do, but do your 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.959 homework first. She didn't check it or anything. She just 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:55.680 assumed that I knew. And then when the report card 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:56.040 come in. 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.400 Six weeks, it's like, you should have good grades, But 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.560 no one ever sit down with me and was like like, oh, 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.199 this is how you do that. I never got the 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.480 should You're right, maybe, and that's why I have the 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.520 position that I have on it, which may not be correct. 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.240 But as I was thinking about it when you were talking, 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.320 I've never yeah that I had good grades up until 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.640 age grades when I peopled that I could just slide back. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.040 Yeah, you shouldn't have had to do that. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.280 Like that that's the whole like broken school system like 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.600 thing like that. Like that's why it's so important. That's 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.880 why it's big conversation in it. You know what I'm saying. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.400 Lack of books and all that type of shit. You 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:30.920 shouldn't have to worry about that shit. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.080 You shouldn't have to worry about having to find books 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.920 or whatever and teach yourself how to do the same thing. 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:38.520 And it come into a little later. 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.600 Like I had to teach myself for like algebra and 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.600 all that shit because I just didn't understand like what 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.120 the fuck was being taught in class. So I would 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:49.280 afterwards go researching myself. It wasn't fair to me because 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.040 I should have just had the tools available. Same thing 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:53.720 with the computer. Y'all talk about computers and shit all 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.080 the time. We didn't have tomput so so I had 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.000 to go to the library and ship you know what 0:12:58.000 --> 0:12:58.320 I'm saying. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.120 That's that's like an extra hurdle that I had to take. 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.760 But you're a kid, you shouldn't. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.760 But you know, like like I said, I'm resilient, you 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.760 know what I'm saying. I was raised a certain way, 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.480 so I did it. I figured out not every kid 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.120 is like that. Not every kid is gonna think like that. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.920 So that that's that's where the school system. Yeah, they failed, 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:22.640 They fucking failed, man, And you know, and unfortunately parents 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.400 like you said, two fucking jobs, bro, because of a 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.440 system that they and that they shouldn't have to work 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.880 two fucking jobs and it can pay more attention to 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.560 their children. So yeah, it's fucked up. And when you 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.680 talk about welfare, that ties it to the welfare shit too, 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.400 So yeah, man, it's it's really fucked up. I get 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.800 what you're saying, but just think about it in its totality, like, no. 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:42.840 Kids should have to do that. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.360 See, that's the problem that was happening last week is 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.280 they would be like, well, I know this person that 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.719 did this, and I know this person that did that. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.560 And the whole point is, who gives a fuck with 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.480 this person that you know? That person you know does 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:59.080 not represent the entire system. The entire system is fucking broken. 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:01.120 And when you say things. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.080 Like well I was able to do it, cool, you 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.320 don't have a learning disability. 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.520 A kid that has a learned well, I don't know. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.040 You know a kid that has a learning disability, They 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.600 may just look at it like something is wrong with me. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.600 Like to this day, I cannot read a map. I 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.600 cannot fucking read them. Maup and my girlfriend stop. 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:20.040 I'm not. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.440 We've had too I think, so yeah, you'll know Northwest. 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:29.440 I don't. I don't. I don't, I don't. My girlfriend 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:30.920 clowns me every day about this. 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.080 If if you look at the map, I could not 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.720 tell you where Atlanta is versus Decator unless it's fucking 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.160 spelled out. And if you ask me what part of 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:45.160 the earth is Uruguayan, I have no fucking clue because, 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.640 just like Jalen said last week, we learned to the test. 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.200 I just had to memorize it on a map and 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.200 then take the test. But now all of that knowledge 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.880 is gone. If I got lost without my cell phone, 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:58.960 I'm fucked. 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.240 I'm have you been been since I've been saying about 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:03.000 the sun and ship? 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.600 No, because that never makes sense to me. None of 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.000 that shit makes sense to me because I didn't learn 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:08.600 it in school. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.400 And it's probably just not your strength. Everybody has their strength. 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.760 Once you learn it, you got it. Sun rises on 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:17.840 the east probably that you probably just that sort of 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:18.760 your brain. 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.320 Your brain is stronger in other areas. 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.320 Yes, so it uses all and it doesn't need it 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.760 to need it in this other area. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.080 Yeah, so I think that. I think that's everybody. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.840 If you gave me an English test, a writing exam, 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.920 I killed it. But if you gave me sh showed 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.520 me where these places are, I have no fucking clue. 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:40.760 Now. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.520 The whole thing is why did I not tell my mom? 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.080 I didn't think anything was wrong with me. I just 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.800 assumed there was just some ship that I just. 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.200 Didn't know and I didn't care about. 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.640 Because the thing is, if, okay, the sun rise in 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:51.960 the east and sests in the west, Okay, what happens 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:52.800 when the Sun's gone? 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:54.160 What do I do? Then? 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.040 If all I'm looking up at is the stars? How 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:58.320 do I know where I'm supposed to go? 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.960 I think the moon? Where do the moon coming? Moon 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:05.160 is tricky though, see moon is tricky. I don't know. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:11.280 Is guaranteed always? But you might not how you know 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.320 it from the other stars it's brighter, man, you may 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.600 not be able to see it. That's how the railroad ship, 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.760 that's how we passed that. But uh, but but the 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.720 certain ship. Yeah, you don't have the sun. As long 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:28.360 as you can figure out where either the northeast west are. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.960 Once you figured that out, you good. I can't, but 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.800 you just say you can't, but you can, you can. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.880 There's some should I know, there's some ship. I don't. 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:41.760 So right now, you don't know where you are. 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.480 Have no fucking clue in this building because I live 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.120 in East Point and it's right by west west End. 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.120 Makes no sense. You have to travel south from here. 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.880 It makes no sense. Why is that south Point? Why 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.600 is that not South Point? Why is east Point to 0:16:58.920 --> 0:16:59.600 West End? 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:04.240 But you putting too much sauce. 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.919 As a kid, that's so yeah, you know, you know, 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.000 it's a lot of these things are interconnected, Spike, and 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.119 I get what you're saying. I think there was a 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.919 revelation that happened to me having kids, and it was 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:25.480 it was really interesting because you know, very similar upbringing 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.840 to you, right in terms of I had to do everything, 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:35.800 uh in terms of coming home, brother, cook and all 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.000 this stuff. My mam will tell you the stories. But 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.679 I didn't have problems with school. I was fortunate, you know, 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.879 but not everybody's as as fortunate, because, like you, my 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.560 mom was working trying to get us out of a 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.800 very bad situation. Uh So we have to be very 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.119 uh dependent, independent, independent. 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.400 You don't want add no stress to her right right. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.919 And it's just it's just it's just this is just 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.080 the way it is. I didn't know any other way. 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:07.520 I took that mindset. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.639 And was applying it to kids, to my kids, and 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.000 I'm like, why are you helping these kids with this stuff? 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.280 What they need to where? Bro? 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.280 And then I realized it hit me one day. I 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.520 was like, oh, Ship, you're supposed to be getting Is 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:25.320 this what is like with people that have assets to 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.840 stuff where the kids could just be a. 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.640 Kid and you can help. Bro. It completely changed. 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.280 It was like, wait a minute, I wasn't supposed to 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.480 do this. My mama was supposed to be having a move. 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:35.760 I set them up for greatness. Bro. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.440
