Yeah, charg drive Yeah, 21 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 4: for the last five years, I actually just stopped driving 22 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 4: trucks in April, you know what I'm saying. So once 23 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 4: the ticks has started blowing up, I just kind of 24 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 4: like foresight was just like I gotta find something else 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 4: to do. I can't just live on this one app 26 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 4: and I want to kind of get long form with it. 27 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 4: So YouTube natural place to go in the podcast, just 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 4: in like the place where people speak freely. So it's like, well, 29 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 4: I mean, I figure out how much it cost to 30 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 4: set this thing up. 31 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 3: I just started in the back of the truck. 32 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 4: And then once it started gain tractioning me, I called 33 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 4: him and I was like, Yo, come work this camera 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 4: for me. Because we had a little Canning camera go 35 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 4: out like every twelve minutes, and I was like, man, 36 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 4: just come hit the button every twelve minutes.

Yeah, so you either 43 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: have to reset it every twelve minutes or get two 44 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: views so that way you could go back and forth. 45 00:01:59,200 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: That's what it was doing. 46 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 4: The continual shot was grainy, but it was like a 47 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 4: decam and it was like it'll keep going so in 48 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 4: between times because sometimes he'll be like you forget, I 49 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 4: forget because we talked as friends, he ain't really seeing 50 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 4: me do my thing, so he like kind of getting 51 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 4: lost in the message.

The backlash ain't gonna come. 391 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 3: From corporate No, you know what I mean, It's not 392 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: come from the consumer. 393 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: The consumer or the person you actually talked about. If 394 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: I go on Fox News and I talk about Donald Trump, 395 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: which I have, and that Donald Trump calls me a 396 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: racist swede bag with a low IQ, which he has, 397 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: that just comes with me, you know, making the choice. 398 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, ain't it ain't gonna change, and the 399 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 4: way I approach it.

Well, we don't understand 410 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: push the limit. 411 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 4: For sure, because we also don't understand like what freedom 412 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 4: and speech is. You know what I'm saying, Like, it 413 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 4: ain't the freedom of consequences. I get, but we self censoring. 414 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 4: Now we're gonna censor ourselves. So then when they take 415 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 4: your freedom of speech, it's like, well, y'all slow walked 416 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 4: us into it because you like that mob mentality to 417 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 4: make you feel like you got power online. 418 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: But the thing is, in three days you don't even 419 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 3: care no more. 420 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 4: And this this is messed up person, hard career regardless, 421 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 4: like you know, the the other side of this is 422 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 4: like Russell Lumball had like. 423 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 3: A very lucative career. I ain't agree with. 424 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 4: Most And then he said, but I can understand the 425 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 4: power of that community. They did agree with him, allowing 426 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,479 Speaker 4: him to do it for so long, and we were. 427 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 3: Right here, you know what I'm saying. 428 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: We did a joint show with Russ before and went 429 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: back and forth and everything agreed to disagree and all 430 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: of that. 431 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 4: I think, I think you need a diversity of thought. 432 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 4: If you only engaging with stuff that you agree with 433 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 4: all the time, your scope of intelligence is gonna shrinks 434 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 4: because you're an echo chamber. So I always dive into 435 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 4: like like a lot of people were saying they ain't 436 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 4: no who like Charlie, Kurt web for he died and whatnot, 437 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 4: Like I did.

Like for the most part, I'm gonna take 971 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 4: everything from my parents that I feel like they did 972 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 4: right and in part of their wisdom to my children 973 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 4: because it worked for me and things I feel like 974 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 4: they did wrong. I don't think we gotta demonize it, 975 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,479 Speaker 4: but just learn from it. Why did they think like that? 976 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 2: That's the understanding why they did the day? 977 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 978 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 2: I mean like sometimes I look back at my dad 979 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 2: and I would hate when it's like you got to 980 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 2: be home with this time. You can't go there now 981 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 2: when I got kids, I'm. 982 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 3: Like, that's why you said it. 983 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 2: Now you can't go there. But the difference is, I explain, 984 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 2: as I said, so you just took it. 985 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,399 Speaker 5: Asked why, well I couldn't. Why you know what I mean, 986 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 5: that's because she couldn't. Right, You look at that as 987 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 5: a form of disrespect, like you are you questioning my judgment? 988 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 6: Is like, yeah, I am. 989 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 3: And when and when did that start with black people? 990 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 4: Well, we couldn't question that, so we carry that into 991 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 4: our households and we just got to continue, you know, 992 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,919 Speaker 4: Like I get the idea of breaking generational curses is cool, 993 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 4: but it's like I ain't gonna say my fault cursed me. 994 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 4: I think we just we're healing generation by generation. We 995 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 4: come from a rough beginning in this country, and that 996 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,720 Speaker 4: stuff staying on a on a genetic level of staying. 997 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 3: So I think more than anything. I try to recognize, Like. 998 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,359 Speaker 4: When I'm repeating some of those behaviors too, I try 999 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 4: not to, like try to be slow to anger.

Like we got a lot 1410 00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,200 Speaker 4: of gaps in our community around differences, but our experience 1411 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,560 Speaker 4: is extremely the same.

It's like, 1415 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,040 Speaker 4: you know, I ain't with no division. So if we 1416 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,640 Speaker 4: bridging gaps and it's like a family thing, you know, 1417 01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 4: folks watching this like me and my man watch this, 1418 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,000 Speaker 4: Me and my girlfriend wate this, Like, bro, that's the love. 1419 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 3: That's what we focus on.

I got two more questions learn about 1421 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,600 Speaker 1: one bet right from I heard you talking about systems 1422 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 1: and that we had Christopher Williams up here and he 1423 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 1: was talking about that as well, and I feel the 1424 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,920 Speaker 1: same way. And I don't know we'll ever truly be 1425 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 1: able to change the system. I don't even know if 1426 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 1: that's a pessimistic mindset to have, but I do feel 1427 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 1: like we can liberate ourselves with fitnesses, like that's really 1428 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,280 Speaker 1: the only way to be to achieve anything. Really. 1429 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,959 Speaker 4: I think that's a lot about what like intersectionality is about. 1430 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 4: It's like people want to tear down the dismount of 1431 01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 4: systems that for one, they really don't know how to work. 1432 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,280 Speaker 3: They just know how they work against them. 1433 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,880 Speaker 4: You know, they you know how how it feels to 1434 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,800 Speaker 4: be oppressed, but like you don't understand like the history 1435 01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:51,720 Speaker 4: of these system how they was built and things like that. 1436 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,120 Speaker 4: So you know, you tear everything down, do you have 1437 01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 4: a community you can rely on? Do you like what 1438 01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,360 Speaker 4: you're gonna do? Do you have the tools to rebuild it? 1439 01:00:58,440 --> 01:00:59,440 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1440 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 4: And I think because of like film and movie, we 1441 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 4: think doing the gloom, we think mad Max, and we 1442 01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 4: think the world just gonna end and be anarchy. But 1443 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 4: I think you know, within understanding, that's how you operate, 1444 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,439 Speaker 4: you know, like at work, anybody like Finesse, at work, 1445 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 4: like Big K used to be finishing at the Mercedes beans.
