All right. 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.960 So she says, I have this friend that's dating a 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:02.000 guy and she knows the is a cheater. She knows 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.440 he is no good and I even showed her proof 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.440 that he's seeing another woman. I tell this friend all 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.960 the time she is too beautiful to settle for less, 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.960 but she is sure that they will get married even 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.480 though he doesn't want a relationship, okay, and they will 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:16.280 have kids together. 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.159 So this is where I need help. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.960 How do I tell my friend that she is settling 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.520 for less and she should move on and find herself 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.640 and find and find herself and find better without her 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.880 feeling like I'm overstepping my boundaries or trying to ruin 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.000 her situationship. So then I had follow up questions. 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:35.400 I was like, how old is she? How long they've 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:36.920 been dating? So she says she's twenty nine. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.680 They've been dating for three years, but she caught him 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.360 cheating with another woman in his house when he invited 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.680 her over to bring him food and ruined. She ruined 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.080 property and had to pay three thousand dollars in repairs, 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.280 and she went back and it's currently with him. 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.440 Now, why if you don't leave that man? And this 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.200 this is the advice you as your as the friend, 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.120 needs to just be straight up and be like he 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.120 is of the worst and leave him. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:07.560 I think, yeah, as a friend, definitely offer your advice, 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.080 but do it in a way that you're like, Okay, 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.000 you know, this is just my advice, this is my opinion, 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.360 but don't let it change our relationship because that's the problem, 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:18.920 you know, And I think that's why you're a little 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:23.200 hesitant to even say anything because a lot of people think, oh, 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.599 I'm going to ruin our friendship if I say something 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.840 about her relationship. But I think you wouldn't be You 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.159 would not be a friend if you did not speak 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:33.920 to her from an honest place. 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.120 Yes, you know, and then you tell you know, do 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:38.040 what you want with this. 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.960 This is just my advice, my opinion regardless, I'm still 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.880 gonna love you blah blah blah, and keep it moving and. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.400 Keep say it once and keep it moving. Yes. Yeah, 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.200 but you can't just like stand by and watch all 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.680 this nonsense and say nothing and call yourself a friend. Right, Yeah, 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.760 so like speak up and if she continues to be 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:58.520 with him, which she. 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.160 Will, right, you have to support it, right, And a 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.480 lot of times it's like people go through stuff and 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.159 she has to almost learn on her own. 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:05.560 Right. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.560 So it's like you can say something, she might get 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.840 mad at you, Your friendship might actually suffer for it. Yeah, 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.960 but I promised you, like one day, she's gonna come 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:17.480 back to you and be like, girl, you were right. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.120 I left him, You know what, you were right?

Yeah, because I mean he's convinced. 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.520 He's like like he knew that was his mom in 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:45.240 the ice machine. 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.199 Wow. He should have like honed in and been like 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.480 tried to talk, try to have a conversation. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.600 Yeah, but but but he was scared for whatever reason, 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.160 Like he was like freaked out, you know what I mean. 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.520 So I think he would just like go upstairs or whatever, 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.520 like he just be more spooped out. But probably now 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:06.520 yeah if maybe looking back, he probably should have. Hasn't 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.800 heard it lately, but it's interesting, like she hasn't followed 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.199 us to any of our other houses. Wow, yeah, it 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:12.280 was just that first house. 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.880 So do you feel like you should go back and visit? No, okay, 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.800 we've moved on. Yeah, okay, I. 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.120 Mean I don't think we would be able to spend 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.240 enough time. It's not like we can just like we 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.640 can't just like sit in someone's house, you. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.600 Know what I mean. I think if Robin and Juan 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.640 showed up, they would let you sit yeah, yes, in 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.240 the basement and listen price, I am sure of it, 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.679 all right, and they would take pictures in video the 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.440 whole thing, right. Yes, I don't, I can't. I mean 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:42.880 a lot of things. I feel like a lot of 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.920 things happen and they're like kind of unexplainable. Yeah, but 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.719 I always believe that, like there, you know, God is 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.439 out there doing his thing to make sure we're okay. Absolutely, yeah, yes, 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:57.840 So it's a good question. Yeah, that was actually an 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.040 excellent question. All right, we have one more Okay, we 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.240 gotta we gotta blow this popcorn stand all right, let's 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.400 see here, here we go, Hijaz Allen Robin. I hope 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.679 you are both are well. This is from Kashif. I 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.000 listened to the podcast every week. My question is if 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.559 you can go anywhere in the world, where would it 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.880 be and why? I think we talked about this a lot, 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.959 right like where should probably have? Yeah, like at the moment, 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.040 I would like to go to Africa. Like I would 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.280 like to go to Ghana first because I have a 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:30.199 lot of Ghanian friends and you know, I always appreciated 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.400 their culture. Yeah, so that's I think that's that would 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.640 be my best You first, my first, okay, and then 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.839 where are you going after that? Hmm? You know, I 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:44.800 don't really know. Yeah, I definitely want to do like, yes, Africa, 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.640 but I would want to do like the Safari, like 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.319 the Kenyan Safari, go down to Zanza Bar, spend some 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:58.559 time there on the White Beach. I would also like 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:07.280 to do Bali and the Maldives and all that. I 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.839 haven't done that yet. I will. I was waiting actually 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:14.080 for a dude to do that. Well, but whatever, Yeah, anyway, 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.000 I have to go on my own. You'll get there, 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.800 I'll get there. Yes, yes, yes, are you gonna meet 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.200 me there, sure, sure, yeah, but I feel I feel 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.839 like it's like a day to get like a long 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.520 long time, I know. Like so I feel like once 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.079 you get to that side of the world, you have 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:29.840 to like you can't just do a couple of things. Yeah, 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.560 you can't just turn around to come back. Yeah. That's 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.640 why I always feel like, like Susan, I would say, 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:38.560 Australia is that close to Maldives. Yeah, maybe I would 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.520 have to look at the map, Okay, you know my geography. 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:41.120 I think that would. 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.160 I think Australia would be fun to visit, just because 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:44.760 it's like so far away. 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:45.600 Yeah, you know what I mean. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.959 It's like it's it's it's so interesting how it's so 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.439 far away, but it's its own beautiful continent. 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.679 You know. I was telling somebody. I think I was 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.559 telling cow that when I travel far, like when I 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:01.440 went to Thailand, when I've been to China, South Africa, 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:06.000 I get huge anxiety about my house. Oh so like 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.560 I feel like, oh my gosh, I'm so far away 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:13.000 from my life. Yes, anything can happen to me. Is 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.800 my house gonna be smashed apart? Am I gonna be 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.960 able to get back to like my regular life. 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.200 Yeah, it feels like a whole different You're in a 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:26.240 different what like world, or it's like like that your 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.800 house in your life doesn't even exist because you're so 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:29.680 far away, so. 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.840 Far away, which I wonder if other people have that feeling. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:34.720 It was like a it's like a feeling and if 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.560 I think about it too long, it can like overtake me. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.480 So are you when you were when you traveled recently? 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.000 Where you like watching your all the time a lot? 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.440 Yeah, all the time because I have twelve thousand cameras. Yeah, 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:49.240 it's like I'm living on the app. Yeah, but yes, No, 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:53.160 anytime like it goes off, I'm like looking, I'm making 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.160 sure like I know what's going on. And it's not 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:59.080 just I'm looking at my house, it's just like that's 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.120 my surrounding, that's where I live, That's what I know. 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:04.760 And am I going to be able to get back there? 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.120 And I feel like when I'm far far away, I 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:09.160 feel like I'm not going to be able to get 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.320 back there, right like oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Yeah, 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.160 like you don't have a lot of control in that moment. No, 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.080 And airplanes all of a sudden stopped working and I'm 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:21.160 left in Thailand. Then you start a new life in Thailand, Robin, 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.160 you had missed me so much, I know. Do you 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:24.800 know how many tears you would cry if I just 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:30.040 lived in Thailand it never came back. Thank God for FaceTime? 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.240 Oh God? All right, this is our last one, guys. 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.960 All right, so this is from Sabrina. Yeah, this froms Brina. 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.320 Hello all, thanks for a great episode. Although I'm not 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.720 an educator, I advocate for challenging school curriculum. I took 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.840 all the challenging courses coursework in high school. I honestly 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:51.640 don't remember most of it. However, those classes teaches children 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.720 how to think and navigate their problems and think creatively. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:57.960 Oh didn't we ask? Yeah? 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.880 So this is in response to our podcasts a few 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.880 weeks ago where I was like, I don't understand why 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.320 our kids have to learn or and we even learn 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.720 or why are we learning physics? Why are we learning geometry? 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.840 Like we're not doing anything with this as adults. 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:14.680 So she goes on to say, as adults, we are 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.760 faced with so many problems where we are not going 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.000 to know all the answers, like how to manage COVID 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.680 in the early phases. So having the ability to effectively 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:29.080 analyze information, form judgments, even apply past knowledge to new 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.160 situations creates great leaders and effective citizens. Sabrina, you know what, 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.720 that's a good perspective. It's a great perspective. I totally 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.960 appreciate it. They should this should be read by principles. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.680 When it's like a PTA meeting, when the when the 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.600 adults are there, when the when the moms and dads 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.440 are there. Because we have to get on board with 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.040 the bullshit that our kids are learning. Right, Like, they 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:54.840 come home, we don't know how to help them with 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.240 the homework. It just looks a mess. They need to 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.280 reiterate to us, like this is how them their brain 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.239 think creatively and allowing them to be effective when they 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.320 get older with the challenges of the world. 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.280 Right, But you know what else would be nice as 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.080 as kids are learning stuff, I think a lot of 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.240 times it's like you teach them the concepts, but you 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.160 don't teach them the why. You know, It's like if 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.960 they said, okay, you're learning about whatever, Newton's law and 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.760 all whatever, all this stuff in physics, like this is 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.840 why this is important for you to learn it? And 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.960 here is a present day scenario. 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.200 Yeah, want you want to be practical, to know what's 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:34.200 a practical right. 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.960 Because I think when you are teaching someone and whether 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.760 anything you're teaching them, if it's something in sports, it's like, Okay, 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.439 a coach shouldn't just say, okay, slide your feet. They 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.480 need to tell them why they're telling you to slide 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.200 your feet or whatever whatever it is, you know what 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.800 I'm saying. Like, And I think when you tell people 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.639 why they're teaching you something or why you're learning something, 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.760 then you can retain it more and you can reflect 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.800 back on it and you can say, oh, this is 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.960 is why I you know, oh I learned this in 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:04.879 ninth grade physics class. 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:06.960 You know, you can make it make sense. Yeah. 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:08.520 So I feel like a lot of teachers they just 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:14.000 teach you the you know, the the concepts, but they 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:15.920 don't teach you the why behind the concepts. 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:21.000 You know. When when Jamal would prepare like his sermons, 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:26.040 he was great about like taking something from the Bible 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.000 and applying it to every day life and applying it 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.040 to what's happening in the world today, applying it to 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:32.919 a rap song, applying it to things that we can 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.480 really relatestand and appreciate. And I think that was like 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.280 the you know, beauty to his sermons, because like you were, 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.479 you were tied in and you really were like, okay, 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.320 this is some good ship. Oh I get it. I 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.320 get it. And then you know, he might have made it, 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.840 made up some stuff and every now and again. But anyway, 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:54.920 I think that's what teachers need to do. 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.560 Yeah, yeah, yeah, they need to just apply modern day 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.480 lessons the reasons why they're teaching stuff, because like I said, 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.200 I don't remember one thing I learned in physics, No, 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.760 not one no, and I failed. I think I'm sure 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:11.920 you did not. I'm sure I probably got a C 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:13.040 in physics though. 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.520 Really yeah, I'm pretty sure I got to see Okay 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.360 not Robin, Yeah, okay. 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:20.800 I think it was one of those things I was like, Okay, 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:22.119 this is not my thing. It's not going to be 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:23.840 my thing. I'm not even going to pretend. 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.639 Well. When I got to Hampton, I was a finance major, 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.560 and then I started taking finance classes and I started 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.000 to get start getting f's. Yeah, so I was like, 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.399 I'm no longer a finance major. Changer, I went to 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.879 that administration office so fast. I was like, I need 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.960 to change my major. I can't know this. I called 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:43.920 my dad. My dad was like, oh my god. My 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.600 dad was like, I tried to tell you, like you 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:47.640 got four years of my money. I was like, okay 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.600
