<v Speaker 1>want to do. We want you to download the audio

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.560

<v Speaker 1>audio component more than the video. Now. We will still

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.120

<v Speaker 1>how the week because you had a week here you

<v Speaker 1>have Yeah, it's like, I don't know, life is just

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>um it's interesting. Like you know, when you're young, you

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>ever think of like what you have like expectations. I

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>guess you could kind of say for life, and then

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>it's like once you become an adult, life was like whoop,

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you thought you know. So it's been a rough week. Um.

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, one of my friends that I grew up

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>with and went to uh dot, I with who I

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>danced with, I should say, um, tragically filled in a

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>car accident. So, um, it's just been a lot going on.

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Work has been, you know, kicking my butt. It's just

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>been like a whirlwind, you know what I mean. I

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know, it's just like pandemic. It just feels like

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.239
<v Speaker 1>people have just been dying for so long and we're

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>just constantly I don't know, like in this place. I

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>don't even know how to describe it. So it's um.

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>It was a bit of a rough week for me,

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>but you were built for a tough Thank you today,

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>good DNA. Oh yeah, thanks, But but I mean, on

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>a brighter note, I know you had a great week,

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>so let's keep this, you know, happier. So how is

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the South by Southwest? Friends? Yeah, get inside. I was

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>in Austin, Texas, but my heart for the South, my

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>south Western conference, which happened to be one of the

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I didn't know what to expect, honestly,

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>but from what you had told me, because you know,

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll be out of the loop, I don't know, but

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>the expectation was I didn't know what to expect, but god,

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>it was incredible and my heart wrote out through a

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>card before me. I think I heart was a little apprehensive.

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Let me just say it. Because I worked for y'all.

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>I can't say it was a little apprehensive by me

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>speaking because they didn't know where I was gonna go.

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 1>But good God that I knocked their socks off. They

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>were so impressed that I'm going to Australia and New

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>York speaking on behalf of my heart and the consumers

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and the marketing people. And I love that they let me,

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>allowed me to just say how I felt as being

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the powerful influential voices of our time, or

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a diverse voices what they called and something like my

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>voice ain't the verse just I don't like everybody else.

0:04:55.480 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>But but found me just to be a free bird.

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>And my vernacular it's not six thousand words, but when

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I say it, and I say it in Layman's terms,

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you get it. So they asked us a question, Laur

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that made me think about you. They asked me, how

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>would I reach out to my demographic to sell products?

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what, what? What is my demographic? You know

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>they would like I think I think they would think

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>in LGBT community, trans people, I'm like, dude, we you

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>sold the older in toilet paper mouth washing. So I'm

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm human, I'm American. Plus I got one up. I

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>can do a shaving commercial and a makeup commercial at

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the same time. We have the sponsors, Lauren. But no,

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that's important though, because you know, I think

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 1>people have this like preconceived notion that because you are trans, Like, yes,

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>you're a part of the l g B t Q

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>plus community, but that's not your only community. Like even

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>if you look at like your Instagram analytics, most of

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 1>your following is women, you know what I mean. I mean,

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>we don't know their sexual orientation maybe, but it's just

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>women in general. They went on Instagram and you know,

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>registered their profile as being a woman. So I think

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that's like a pre you know, a misconception I guess

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>we could say about you. So I'm happy that you

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>were able to, you know, show your versatility and who

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>you are as an individual, and it's like you're not

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>just your sexual identity. There's more to you. So I'm

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 1>happy to hear that, Yeah, that was great, and you

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>know what it was so because I was like a

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>fish out of water, but because I'm in a room

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>full of millionaires. I was in a room full of

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>millionaires longers. I was not the centerpiece, but I was

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the conversation that everybody wanted to have with me. They

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>wanted to not about LGBT. They wanted to talk to

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>me about business and the podcast and marketing and how

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>can we get more people. It was. It was so

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 1>dope that I was like, Wow, I almost had an

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>out of body experience, like, bitch, do you belong here?

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 1>But clearly you did, because you held the conversations. You know, shoot,

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you grab the attention, so clue you did belong. I

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 1>wish I could have been there with you, but you know,

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you crazy, You know you were there with me. You

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>know you was looking over my shoulders and say that

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I was the back of your head telling you all

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the things I tell you. And Connor who who's the

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>president of My Heart, and Will Pearson were just enamored.

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>And to all the people that I met there, Gail

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>who put the program together, the other young lady Brittany

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>who has another podcast called There Are No Girls on

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the End There Oh, she has such a great tick

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>of the speaking voice. Um to feel who works for marketing,

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to who took the pictures. Everybody you see. I remember

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the names because but how they made me remember the names,

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>because everybody was overtly friendly towards me. They were accommodating

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and respectful and in a way that I'm not necessarily

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>used to because I'm used to you being respect for,

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>but because you have to because I'm LGBT, not because

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I am influencer and I'm an employee, you know, And

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.520

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 1>this week, what's going on in what do you want

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>to get into? First? Because I'm in Chicago, which is

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>my hometown, We'll start with Jesse who got I don't

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>want to say railroad it, but the same thing that

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 1>happened to Jesse in two thousand and twenty two happened

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 1>to me in my first defense in Illinois. They sent

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 1>me to prison. The difference and I had a great

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Lloyd there. The difference was he got I got three

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and a half years, but I only did forty eight days.

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And to get arrested though, that's the question, what was

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the crime? Don't you asked my personally? You brought it

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>up the bank. I was a bank robb not she

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>rapped a bank and you only did three years. You

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>did have a good lord, brand new booze and ninety one.

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>There was no place for me that That was the

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.079
<v Speaker 1>difference that saved me from doing all that time. But

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.719
<v Speaker 1>I did not expect him to I must say, with

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.679
<v Speaker 1>all the hpla haaba hand this and all that was

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 1>going on because of his celebrity and all the lawyer's everything,

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.679
<v Speaker 1>I really did not expect him to give him actually time.

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought that they were going to convict him and

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 1>he was gonna have to pay all those fans. But

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I was yeah, they actually gave him jail time. So

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.199
<v Speaker 1>that's volumes to this country. And again, like we always say,

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>there is one course system for them and there is

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>one for us. Because with all his money, fame and celebrity,

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.680
<v Speaker 1>it did not stop him and they didn't. And you thought,

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 1>what was behoo be loring? Because had he been if

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 1>y'all saying I'm playing a race card, was so be it?

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>God damn it. Had he been a Caucasian persuasion, they

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 1>would have given him thirty days to have his affairs

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and get everything in order to say a batchel of

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.080
<v Speaker 1>family would have you. They took him straight to the

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>back right there in the court room. I found that

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 1>quite offensive. Well, not even that if he was worried,

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>he wouldn't be doing jail time. Well come on, let's

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>be honest. So, and I don't know like what the

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 1>circumstances are of how it got to people thinking that

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>he was suicidal. And you know, he made that big

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>announcement in court saying that he's not suicidal, and they

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>put him like in the psych ward. That was a

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>reason to that, because so many of us have been

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>pars rated and then we end up dying. Yeah, but

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:41.319
<v Speaker 1>it was just that it happens to me. I didn't

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.599
<v Speaker 1>do it to myself, right that he was saying like,

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not suicidal. So, but I don't know how he

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>ended up in the psych ward though. Ye, well, well

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he was. First of all, he looked a

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>little extreme the way he did. Let me just say

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>that in the cork carrion on Holland hooping Holland screaming car.

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, but sometimes they put you in the medical

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 1>war in the psych board to protect you. They didn't

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>put him in there because he was great. He is

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a celebrity, He is a star. He is a notable face.

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 1>So they put him in there to protect him from

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.079
<v Speaker 1>putting him not only in protective custody, but for gym

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 1>pop because it's really hard to get to you in

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the psych ward and protect custody. So if I'm a

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 1>protective custody and you're a straight guy and you want me,

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you just say, I'm afraid I need to walk myself

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.719
<v Speaker 1>to protective custody just so you can get to me.

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.680
<v Speaker 1>See it's it's that accessible. Because I was there, I

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>experience that. But now in the psych ward you can't

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.840
<v Speaker 1>just go. Anybody can't just walk that up to the pye,

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 1>but you have to be deemed cuckoo, patty, a little

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, a little fifty. So it's it's actually safer

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 1>for him. But I don't know the situation, but I

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.319
<v Speaker 1>have been in the county jail and that was in

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and it was a filthy place. I can only imagine

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>that it's worse. Oh wow, because yeah, is he in

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the county jail? Did he actually did he go someplace else?

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 1>He's only doing the county jail. It would have probably

0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>been easier had he went to prison. But he's in

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.959
<v Speaker 1>the county. Is he in the same jail as R. Kelly. Yeah,

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:11.960
<v Speaker 1>he's probably not in the same step. Oh my god. Okay,

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.319
<v Speaker 1>so they're both in Cook County. Wow, that's that's crazy.

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I just the way it played out Loreen,

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 1>from beginning to end to now, just I'm in shocked

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>that he got some jail time. And I don't want

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to be on either side of this because I never

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>believed the story that Jesse see and I said that public.

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I just never believed that story. It just sounded it

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>was too many holes in it for me from day one,

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>starting with the substance that they threw and you didn't

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 1>know what it was. Baby, My kids were two years old.

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>They knew what the hell bleat smell like. So it

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 1>just was so crazy. But wow, it just has went

0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>on and on and on. Yeah, because the thing that

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like, even if because it feels like this is

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>all stemming from the fact that he wasted, you know,

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 1>police resources, So even if that was the case, just

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>let him pay it and then move on. But to

0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 1>like stick him in jail over this, and you got

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>white people that have like raped women and they're still

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 1>not in jail, They've been acquitted. Like it's come on, really,

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you got white boys that white other white kill other

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>wife boys and won't yeah for real, So well, just

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 1>look at what happened with the officer who killed Brianna

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Taylor and McKay Bryant. They were both acquitted. Yeah, it is,

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's a troubling time. And but you know

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>what it is the wake up call for black people

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 1>in this country that are celebrity rich, famous. Let you

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 1>know that we don't care about your money, or your

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>stature or your celebrity. We will come after you hard

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and brutally. Because that was brutal to me to put

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>him in jail. That but the best the blessing of

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the county jail. Though, let me just say on the others,

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 1>because you know, there's always another. He gets two for one,

0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 1>So for every two days he get one. I don't

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>expect him to do six weeks. Oh oh, not to

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>do six weeks, okay, I don't expect him to do

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>six weeks because he gets two for one. Okay, well, yeah,

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>A prayer for Jesse, Prayers for Jesse, prayers for his

0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 1>family because and so many people was affected by this,

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and I love that so many celebrities wrote letters for him,

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 1>so many we profile people are speaking up for him.

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Although it did make a difference that judge had a mission,

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that judge was not trying to hear any of it

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and he I thought the judge was cold. I thought

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>he was honest about a lot of things. Let me

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>just say he wasn't all the way wrong, but I

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>thought he was extreme. Yeah. Well, we're gonna send up

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 1>a prayer for Jesse and hopefully he gets out because

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I saw something today that said there's his attorneys have

0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>a million of one reasons why he should be released.

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully something works and he gets out sooner than later.

0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't even want to go down every over. I ain't. Yeah,

0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 1>we not, because we're gonna jump right into something else

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>where we going? Lord, I was first? Is your turn? Well?

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of other Chicago natives, Um, a certain Kanye West

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 1>got into it one of your friends this past week,

0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 1>d L. Hugley. So how do you feel about that? Wait,

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, don't even try it. Don't even try

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Kanye West is I feel like the man is just heartbroken,

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and I've been exactly how he feels. I just hate

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>that it's playing out so publicly in front of his children,

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 1>because they're seeing all of this, you know, and kids.

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>People always say kids don't remember. Kids remember way more

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 1>than we give them credit for him way more seeing here,

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.160
<v Speaker 1>especially with the Internet and way things are now, They're

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.680
<v Speaker 1>seeing here way more than they should. I feel for

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 1>those kids. I hope that Kanye fans some solace. But

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>that is a great adage to go into into money.

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Don't make you happy, because on paper, this man is

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 1>a billionaire and he is just not happy. It's um,

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>it's giving fatal attraction a little bit. I'm not even

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna lie with some of the things that he's put

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:21.480
<v Speaker 1>out about his soon to be ex wife, but um,

0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I appreciate deal speaking out. It's like,

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 1>we don't we're not we don't know Kanye, we're not

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.879
<v Speaker 1>friends with Kanye. We don't know the circumstances of the situation.

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>But it's definitely giving fatal attraction. It really is. But

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I just want to ask a question, hypothetically, Lauren Hogan,

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.159
<v Speaker 1>So with all is that Kanye is doing, because you know,

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:41.800
<v Speaker 1>he was in the White House a year or two

0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 1>ago when the other administration jump sitting on his lap

0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and pretty much hugging him and kissing him. That man

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>has not spoken because Kanye spoke up but him wore

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.119
<v Speaker 1>the red hat and everything. But I have not heard

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:56.439
<v Speaker 1>that man speak on behalf of Mr Kanye West at all.

0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Child Trump's been speaking, but it ain't about that, and

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.439
<v Speaker 1>nobody's paying attention really to what he's saying. But you,

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you have a point. You have a point,

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. I hope he stays on social media. Well,

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 1>good luck with that. That is what's keeping that's what's

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 1>keeping him going. Maybe maybe while he telling his door,

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.919
<v Speaker 1>giving his daughter advice to say hi, as I'll TikTok, dude,

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:23.520
<v Speaker 1>look in the mirror and tell that to your damn

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 1>saif one of them personalities because somebody and listen to you,

0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's about fifteen them up in there. Oh baby,

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:32.880
<v Speaker 1>he can showed us all of them too. They say

0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:34.880
<v Speaker 1>he's a you know, but you know, Lauren, that is

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 1>that is the the old the old termam that they say.

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:42.760
<v Speaker 1>But there's the pigs hare. The line between genius and

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 1>lunacy is as fine as a pig's hair. Somebody snatched

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 1>their pigs hair and he didn't cross the fence to

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the other side. Well yeah, and I will say, like,

0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.119
<v Speaker 1>bipolar disorder is real. You know, I have you know,

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 1>family members who are bipolar who I actually don't speak

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:00.679
<v Speaker 1>to because they refused to take their meds. But it

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 1>is a real, you know, disease. Mental health is real,

0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what it's like to you know,

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 1>whatever that feels like. So I hope he can, you know,

0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:14.120
<v Speaker 1>find some type of peace because that is a serious

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, mental illness to be combating seven and there's

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 1>different you know, there's different um points on the spectrum,

0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, of your type of of the bipolar disorders.

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 1>What I'm trying to say, But um, I just hope

0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.920
<v Speaker 1>he finds some type of peace because um he's really

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 1>wildent and I really do like read what he's trying

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 1>to say to like understand. Sometimes I just don't compre

0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.520
<v Speaker 1>him with some of his posts are about Um, I

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>will say, the songs that he's been writing for Donda

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. I enjoyed them, visuals also great. Didn't like

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.159
<v Speaker 1>that you know, he basically killed Pete Davidson and his

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>easy video. But yeah, I just, um, I hope he

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 1>gets it together and find some happiness and some interpiece.

0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, about Pete Davidson. I don't even know if

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 1>he sees what it really really is. But as the

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 1>man in me, because you know, I'm he she week,

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:05.920
<v Speaker 1>but the man in me that this is a pond.

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 1>This who this is a pawn? You, darling, I think

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.600
<v Speaker 1>it's a pond. I think that you are being played.

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:17.159
<v Speaker 1>But enjoy the rat? Why do you say that. I

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think that Kim Kardashian is gonna ever be in

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>love with him. I think that that it's just employed

0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 1>just to not even on on a I'm trying to

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 1>pay you back, just that maybe she's trying to find

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.199
<v Speaker 1>solace in the arms of somebody else to move on.

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 1>But do I think that's gonna be long term. Absolutely not.

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I think she's gonna enjoy the rat for the time

0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:40.160
<v Speaker 1>that she's ratting, and yeah, that's it. But I mean

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that's fair though. I mean, you just got

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:43.920
<v Speaker 1>out of like a seven year marriage. I mean, maybe

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:45.719
<v Speaker 1>it's not anything serious. She might just want to have

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:47.639
<v Speaker 1>fun right now. You know, she's got four kids, she's

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 1>got responsibility. And Roman has it that they say Pete

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>got the meat. He's like armies, we have the meat. Well,

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you have to look at the lineup of females that

0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 1>he's dated and something must be there based on a line.

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just saying, you say, you know that might

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:09.440
<v Speaker 1>be part of the issue that because men are very

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 1>men's egos are very shallow, he might be intimidated that

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>he thinks that Pete might be packing a little bit

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.679
<v Speaker 1>more than he is. And if I'm telling you it

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 1>is so many I have been in Kanye WIT's position

0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:26.240
<v Speaker 1>about being broken from a love a partner. But you

0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:29.240
<v Speaker 1>know my baby, so I I and then as much

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 1>as I joke about and well, I know that paint,

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I know there is a darkness there that when you

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 1>go to sleep, when you wake up, that misery is

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>still sitting there waiting on you when you can't go

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 1>to sleep. The sad part is that it is playing

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>out publicly. You know, both a huge celebrities and y'all

0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 1>got a gang of children. So and everybody is going

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to joke about it because when he went out the

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 1>d L and say I got enough money to have

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you heard dal say, man, you're a nut, And I'm

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:55.160
<v Speaker 1>glad Pete is busting them up. In your wife, girl,

0:22:55.240 --> 0:23:01.159
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you something old how to read like

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the last City. So I love it. Stump me. You

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 1>know who else on how to read like that? That

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:11.119
<v Speaker 1>damn Fathy said, Oh yeah, that man is rude. That

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:14.640
<v Speaker 1>manages rude. I'm telling you, and you know you you you,

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:16.520
<v Speaker 1>if you put it out there, you get the expected

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 1>to come back. It was cold, it was funny. It

0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 1>was funny. I'm not even gonna lie. He was not

0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:24.879
<v Speaker 1>even nervous. He he had like hits one after another.

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.679
<v Speaker 1>So that's why I said, that's your friends, So you know,

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:38.159
<v Speaker 1>don't come at the media. Look Kanye again. Lauren to Kanye. Yeah, seriously,

0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:42.640
<v Speaker 1>we talked about can we go to Ukraine? Prayers for Ukraine?

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Good God, Okay, so that was a major shift, but yes, Ukraine.

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I know we've talked about it for like the past

0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:52.119
<v Speaker 1>two weeks, but like at this point I feel like

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 1>we can like never not touch on it for an

0:23:54.600 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>episode because everything is like developing each week. Um made

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:03.320
<v Speaker 1>your kudos to UM, and I apologized. I don't know

0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:07.640
<v Speaker 1>her name, but for that TV producer stepping up and

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:11.639
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of a segment new station of Channel

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>one News that reports like for the Kremlin and holding

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:18.560
<v Speaker 1>up a sign basically saying no war kudos to her

0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 1>for having the biggest balls out of everybody in Russia. Okay,

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>women always do, and what years in prison? Fifteen years

0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:28.880
<v Speaker 1>in prison? She was in court today, but like she's

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 1>not in jail, which I was surprised to see considering

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 1>how crazy Putin is. She's not in jail. They you

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.879
<v Speaker 1>know she was. They showed video footage of her leaving court.

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.440
<v Speaker 1>So she's facing up to fifteen years though for what

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 1>she did. But maybe because it's so public, Putin is

0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:47.520
<v Speaker 1>like she can't just go away so quickly. I don't know.

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:50.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm just shocked that she's not already behind bars. So

0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy she still has her freedom or some sense

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 1>of it right now. But who knows what they're gonna

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:56.760
<v Speaker 1>end up doing her. You know, people in Russia just

0:24:56.800 --> 0:25:00.679
<v Speaker 1>mysteriously did so I'm going to say, I know, I

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 1>hope I don't rufle some of my people felas, but

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say it always, and I'm gonna always say

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:07.480
<v Speaker 1>it because I will admire a woman into the day.

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Guy put the dirt on my face and the daisy

0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>on my head. Women will stand when men won't. No

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:17.200
<v Speaker 1>man did this. Women stand and fight and it's not

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 1>black white. This is a Russian woman. Baby. She still

0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:25.199
<v Speaker 1>and she knew the consequences of what could happen to

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 1>her going against Putin. This is what I'm talking about.

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:32.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the strength of women that you just don't

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 1>want to tolerate it anymore. Me and are too afraid

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 1>to lose their positions, their stature, their power, whatever the

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:39.720
<v Speaker 1>coward it is. I don't like coward me and I've

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 1>said that many times. I don't care what color you are.

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Women are showing strength like that's unbelievable. That's why I

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>was like when they wanted to trans women to staying fight,

0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:51.680
<v Speaker 1>staying fight with these women. These women are grounded, strong,

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:54.639
<v Speaker 1>they're afraid, but they're not going to be pushed to

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:57.199
<v Speaker 1>the side. They are standing at it. We need to

0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 1>stand and support them. Hats off to that sister, because

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a man didn't do it. Yeah, and she's actually Russian

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and Ukraine. I think she said like her her mother's

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainian and her father's Russian, or it may have been

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:12.679
<v Speaker 1>the reverse, but she her whole statement, she was like,

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:16.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, when all the craziness happened, we didn't I

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:18.119
<v Speaker 1>didn't take a stand. I didn't stand up to Putin

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and it just didn't sit well with me. So now

0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 1>to see that he's literally starting a war out of greed,

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:27.879
<v Speaker 1>she said, it's I gotta say something. So word's just

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>never good. Bargeous economic destruction, Uh, senseless casualties. And when

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you see all the video of the bombings and oh

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 1>my god, well you saw the pregnant woman that was

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:42.159
<v Speaker 1>being carried out of the hospital that they bombed. She

0:26:42.280 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 1>ended up dying. Yeah, her and the baby died. So

0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:50.600
<v Speaker 1>it's just senseless. Oh and on top of that, we

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:53.600
<v Speaker 1>just have to say, you know, a condolences to the U.

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>S journalists, Um Brent Renard who passed away too, but

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.320
<v Speaker 1>he was murdered. Oh he was covering, you know, he

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 1>was a U. S journalist in Ukraine covering what was

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 1>happening and Russian soldier shot him and killed him. So

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 1>if I was a journalist, I'm a report just like

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing now via zoom. But it's just crazy, Like

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I think we sometimes forget that part, like journalists actually

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:23.119
<v Speaker 1>have a dangerous component to their job, you know what

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean. You never it's always like, oh, yeah, they're

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.640
<v Speaker 1>in Ukraine reporting, but you don't realize how much they're

0:27:28.680 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 1>really in harm's way, you know, just to do their job.

0:27:32.760 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Bad man does not release these nukes because then the

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 1>US is going to have to get involved with NATO

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and all that, and it's just going to be bad

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.639
<v Speaker 1>all the way around. So we're hoping and praying that

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:43.760
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't get any worse. But nobody knows what the

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 1>unpredictable Putin is going to do, because that thing is well.

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:51.439
<v Speaker 1>The samements that I've heard today on the news have

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 1>been very strong. People have said, you know, Ukraine will

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 1>always be, you know, its own country. There's there's way

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 1>more people in you crane, and there's only one Vladimir Putin,

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:05.200
<v Speaker 1>so they're not giving in by any means necessary. And

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:09.560
<v Speaker 1>their president Zelinski, Um, I gotta give him some kudos

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to you know, he put on the armor and said

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to go fight for my people. So yeah,

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:20.680
<v Speaker 1>who he used to be a comedian. Girl, You think

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I could do it? You think? Oh my god. I

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:26.159
<v Speaker 1>have to tell you I saw a video. One of

0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:29.640
<v Speaker 1>my work colleagues, very random sent me a video. There's

0:28:29.640 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 1>a video of Zelinski doing the single Ladies Dance in

0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:36.680
<v Speaker 1>heels with his stomach out and like a little two piece.

0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm send it to you. I'm so serious. I watched it.

0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's photoshopped. I think it's real

0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:44.240
<v Speaker 1>because it's like him and five other men and they're

0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 1>dancing to Beyonce single Ladies. I kid you, not hilarious. Well,

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 1>at least he knows how to have a good damn

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 1>tam thank you right. He doesn't have a stick up

0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 1>his butt, but so it was. It was definitely funny

0:28:55.640 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to watch. That's all these American but only the only

0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 1>American president head of little swell was President Obama because

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 1>they played Marvin got him a piece, baby. I'm sorry.

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:09.719
<v Speaker 1>The swaggiest moment Barack Obama ever had was when he

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 1>wore that tan suit on Easter. That will always be

0:29:14.280 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the swaggiest moment. I just gotta say, that tan suit

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:19.960
<v Speaker 1>on Easter, they hit the roof, Oh my god, it's

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 1>not top two, and not to like, it's not presidential

0:29:24.800 --> 0:29:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and then y'all right, y'all go to him shoot so

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.720
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, prayers to everybody in um Ukraine. I hope

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 1>that this does come to and end at some point

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 1>because it's just wild. Because I even saw the report

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that Joe Biden is like, we're not going to go

0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to war with Russia. He's already said that publicly, so

0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the intention behind it was, but

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 1>he said that like two weeks ago. We'll see what

0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:54.440
<v Speaker 1>comes to this. I've been taking practice and riding my

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 1>bike more because it's looking like a gas prices. I

0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 1>don't pay me that much. Good God saying gas prices

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:03.760
<v Speaker 1>are ridiculous. Somewhere in l a gas is nine dollars,

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to find out where. So I'm

0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:08.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep minding my business, especially when you dress such

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:11.280
<v Speaker 1>a high end luxury vehicle like you drive. I know

0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 1>you're not talking. You got an electric car now, and

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 1>it's still high end luxury. It's still a jeep. We're

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 1>talking about me looking at all these but I didn't

0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 1>even drive. I parked it because I was asked to

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>park it. That's all I did. I was like, I

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 1>don't want to I'll park it. That's it. So I'm

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 1>bummed that you're not going to be with me in

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 1>New York, because you know, I need you in my

0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 1>ear looking on my should, like get it right, I'm

0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna shoot you in the heat because the phone called

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 1>for has a finger to my head like this, like

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:46.800
<v Speaker 1>all the time, that's what the phone calls. Where I

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:48.680
<v Speaker 1>could do that from Florida. I'm gonna just call you.

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm right down. You can feel my energy coming up north.

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be right in Florida. I'm gonna send it

0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>right up to to New York. You're gonna kill it.

0:30:56.200 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna just call you beforehand and give you

0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the same energy. I'm very excited about it. I'm really

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:02.720
<v Speaker 1>ready to represent I hard. I'm doing a breakfast. I'm

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:05.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about the south By Southwest only there because

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:08.080
<v Speaker 1>that experience alone, and you know alone. I called you

0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and told you, because you know, yeah, I don't do great.

0:31:10.320 --> 0:31:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like, it was all right, but because I'm

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 1>very honest about who I am and what I do.

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:17.360
<v Speaker 1>But when it's fantastic, oh, I called said, Oh honey,

0:31:17.440 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 1>they had no idea what was coming train with no

0:31:19.760 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>breaks for breath. Oh my god, it was wonderful. It

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 1>was good. I'm proud of you all in flame mats.

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you we're gonna have such an amazing weekend

0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:30.920
<v Speaker 1>this weekend for the ones that do show up. Great

0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 1>for the ones that going downloaded and watch your livestream. Great,

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I got some dresses for your ass, and some jokes

0:31:36.680 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 1>for your mama and some that's for your dad. So anyway,

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I know this episode was a little different because you know,

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:48.560
<v Speaker 1>we didn't we weren't able to bring in the flame mats.

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:50.880
<v Speaker 1>But like Flames said, we gotta make things work at

0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:54.360
<v Speaker 1>this point because she's busy, I'm busy, and we you know,

0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 1>we still got to get a job done at the

0:31:56.240 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 1>end of the day. So girl has to relaxed all

0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the rules, all the pandemic rules, so we are able

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to get back and me amongst each other. That does

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 1>not mean that the pandemic has went away. Still take

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 1>your precautions, still play safe, because I will. But I'm

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to being I'm interacting with so many people

0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 1>and me alone will probably be on the road this

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:18.400

<v Speaker 1>So here a Life and Learned. We have a saying

0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:15.279
<v Speaker 1>that we're not trying to get anybody to change your mind.

0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>We're simply trying to get you to use your mind.

0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Because wife line, in order to use your mind, you

0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:21.960
<v Speaker 1>have to have one, and the one that you have,

0:34:22.120 --> 0:34:24.399
<v Speaker 1>you have to use for you. You can't be sad

0:34:24.480 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 1>tracked by somebody else because I don't care what my

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:27.880
<v Speaker 1>auntie say or my uncle say. I'm listening, but I

0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:33.680
<v Speaker 1>got to come and say because let me tell you something,

0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:35.839
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, whatever decision you make,

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:38.799
<v Speaker 1>it's your decision. It's nobody else's decision, and it has

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:41.200
<v Speaker 1>to sit right with you because whether it goes right,

0:34:41.320 --> 0:34:43.919
<v Speaker 1>left or right, it was your decision to make. So

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:47.919
<v Speaker 1>be independent, be an independent, critical thinking for yourself. Don't

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:50.160
<v Speaker 1>be dismayed by what somebody else, even myself. And you

0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:55.239
<v Speaker 1>know I'm always right and a larned. Oh huh huh,

0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:59.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry you broke up for a second. Sorry trying

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:01.080
<v Speaker 1>to give me the hook up just late. Good God,
