So 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:44.839 happy holidays that everyone we love, y'all. Can we do 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:50.920 following too? It's like everybody just doesn't celebrate the same thing. Yeah, 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:56.000 I'm not one to celebrate American man made holidays. However, 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.800 I just enjoy the spirit of them. So I just 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.280 be there being the room, participating in the spirit and 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:10.440 they spirit. Yeah, I'm definitely screwed even on trying to 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:16.559 get these Kobe's they're called the grinches that come out 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.520 please sneakers. We're speaking of the bridges. What's going in 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:27.840 to get into in case you missed? Okay, what you 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.440 guys want to talk about? First? The baby the plans 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.560 are retiring from music in five years. That is so 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.800 interesting to me. To give me the juice on that. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:42.600 Uh well, a board with what he's doing. I mean 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:48.040 I could definitely feel that, um because I've been if 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.240 he's borable what he's doing, he'd say about five years, 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.240 he'll start creating other other versions of him, you know, 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:59.280 many many hymns or bigger superstars, uh rappers or entertainers 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.840 who are bigger than him. I'm cool with that. I mean, now, 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.720 if he's tried to start back rapping again in five years, 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:09.280 then you know that means you didn't retire. But are 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.600 you gonna really retire or you know, you're just saying 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.560 that right now for headlines. Well, you know a lot 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.600 of people do it for the headline. But I feel 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.720 like he will, you know, take his label to another 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.440 level and create other superstars. Um, that would be smart, 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:26.800 you know what I'm saying. There's a lot of people 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.160 don't look out for others. They just go for self 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.000 and they try to write it out as long as 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.600 they can. Uh So, I think it's a cool idea. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.400 Do I think that he's gonna just stop rapping and 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.400 do a label and that's it. No, I feel like 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:42.880 he may jump on a track, you know, with some 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.800 of his artists and uh push it like that. Yeah. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.240 So I guess what I'm wondering is, But when I 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:55.640 hear you know, create other superstars, in my mind, I'm thinking, Okay, 0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:00.200 he's going back to the roots of it were where 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.560 labels were really taking people and I guess kind of 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:08.040 molding them and really teaching them to be the superstars 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:12.160 that they could potentially be, Whereas now it seems like 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.080 most labels want someone who's already done, someone who's already 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.880 well packaged, doesn't need a lot of work, um already 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:24.119 has a million plus followers on social media. So I'm 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:28.280 wondering if he's really going back to the grassrooted way 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.840 of of taking someone who you know has potential, just 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.760 doesn't necessarily have I guess to know how the swag, 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.240 the the you know what I'm saying. So I'm curious 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.520 to see, like how how he does this. Plus I 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.800 think you've got to think about this too, m You 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.760 know how some people question the me goes and say 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.440 that they feel like the megos era might be over with. 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.240 They feel like the flow is has been used over 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.480 and over and over again. You kind of have to 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.880 consider is the baby really thinking ahead and saying, all right, well, 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.760 this is the type of rapper that I am and 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.040 it works for me right now. Is this gonna be 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.200 what music is in five years? I'm just wondering, like 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.600 where he really is coming from. But nonetheless, I think 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.920 it's a smart vote. I think you can retire whenever 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.960 you want, and as a as a true artist, you 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.479 can come back whenever you want. So no matter what, 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.160 I think he's gonna be just fine. I'm look thinking 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.400 like what superstars he brings on board. Yeah, I do 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.720 think that in the back of his mind he knows 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.480 that the rap rap changes all the time. And um, 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:37.960 just like he said, he switched just flowing rock star, 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.400 you know from how he originally was sounding. But I 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.160 think he looks to the future, and I just think 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.120 that he's just just gonna give others a chance, you 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:47.720 know what I'm saying, to make it people that you 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.280 know from his city or other people that he may 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.320 have met along his journey as a rapper. I feel 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.120 like he's just gonna take a step back and be 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.320 able to allow them some shine and him give his 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.440 expertise to those people. Um to be able to become 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.960 superstar rappers as well. That's what go ahead the baby. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.839 Well you mentioned the Megoes uh and uh. That's a 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.560 great segue because Quevo shares an update on the Mego's 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:19.880 next album, said it's arriving soon. Uh. Culture three guys, 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:24.240 you dropped two singles. I think three gonna get here. 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.600 Cuevo will make me call your phone bro. Actually real 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.240 Actually I did see see Real Money. That's one of 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:35.240 their managers, um outside of these at L streets, and 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.599 he told me they were dropping soon too, So soon 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:45.000 maybe first quarter. I don't know how they do. Yeah, 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.960 he's just waiting. They're just waiting on the pandemic to 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.960 ease up so that people can be outside and enjoy 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.800 and get the full Culture three effect. That's what I'm 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.440 thinking it is, you know, but shout out shout out 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:01.159 to Quevo for that. Quebo at Martel collab on the 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.560 holiday gifts that make Sure you guys gifts blue. Okay, 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.159 the package is super dope. Um. I love that he 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.520 kind of went left, you know what I'm saying, Like 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.400 we a lot of us, a lot of the hip 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:18.280 hoppers tend to drink something waiting on my Martell. Oh yeah, 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.039 it's already way, it's already under way. I mean the 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.280 holiday is Friday, there it is. He's about to say 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:34.840 crap my hill before Friday or he said yes me 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:41.880 something now like that. Don't like that? Okay, so I 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.760 think he trying, and he trying. You sure, Martell, talk 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:52.000 to me nice, Okay, don't do it all right, but 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.080 now I shout up to to me goes. I do 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.720 think that another album would be really good, and I 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.560 think I think was a good point that maybe they 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.760 are on the world to open up, because I think 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.479 some artists need to be out in the streets. I 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.080 think some artists need to be performing in front of 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.080 the audience to continuously, you know, touch base with them. 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.320 We've seen a lot of artists flourished during the pandemic 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.400 without having to be outside. But I do think that 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.080 the Medos would benefit the most from being able to 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.360 actually tour. Yeah, and how exciting is it for when 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.760 the when the country opens back up them to just 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.480 come out booming, you know what every evant like. You know, 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.920 they already have their project together and ready I need 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:42.000 a record, guys, I need a record. Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, yeah, 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:47.880 go ahead. Well, speaking to celebrations, everybody coming to America 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:54.320 to trailer just dropped March five. Are y'all ready, y'all 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:58.320 fans are coming to America one already? I'm super ready. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.720 I think I damn that memorize the lines don't come 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.880 to America the first one. I mean that that came 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:11.720 out in the eighties correctly from wrong, man, I believe. Yeah, sure, 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.240 my family tells me. So. You know, my mom was 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.560 pregnant with me when they came to America. So my 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.120 family says that that's the first movie they saw when 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:29.000 they lived in Wow, what a story coming to America day. 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.079 I was like, wait, y'all are lying. They were like, no, 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.480 that was the first movie we saw living on American soil. Wow. 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.160 Well they saw a good one because Eddie Murphy killed 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.880 it as always, man, I mean this one, Eddie Murphy 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.920 actually becomes the king and learns that he has that 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.360 he has a son, so he has to come back 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.120 to America to get to know his son. So I'm 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.360 excited about it. Man. Uh. The movie drops March five 0:08:55.240 --> 0:09:00.760 one on Amazon Prime Video, so that it is so dope. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.600 I really can't wait um one time for the Lakers 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:08.440 championship rings. They feature of Kobe Bryant tribute in the ring. Um. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.920 It is one of the dopest things I've ever seen 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:17.920 a championship team. The ring opens up too. Yeah, that's 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:19.679 why I was about to say. The ring opens up. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.160 It opens up and you see the jerseys and then 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:26.439 that has the Kobe Bryant's number eight, and then that 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:34.160 a microphone and then the mamba or something like that. 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.160 But that was dope.

The Kobe tribute comes 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.600 in the form of a black Mama snake behind the 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:58.520 player's jersey numbers, which is super lit. It also features 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.920 Rabbi's jersey number twenty four and the number eight, so 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.679 both of his jerseys are inside when you open up 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.800 the little ring.

But yeah, it's the same shoe design, right, 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:38.120 that's just reverse. But also that looks like isn't like velvet? 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.520 This is beautiful? What is that velvet? This is all 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:47.920 leather the ones that's coming out. Yeah, I don't think 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.120 it's gonna be SAE. That's exactly. I'm not gonna lie. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:55.440 That's that's a sexy little shoe. Okay, the varsity red, 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.520 that's kind of cute. All right, So are you guys 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.560 gonna apply for this si ton of don't apply for 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.280 the PPP loans. I'm talking about the six hundreds. Do 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.079 not apply for the p p P loans six hundred 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.360 when the six hundred you can probably get you about 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:17.760 two in them shoes that you mentioned, that's the retail. Yeah, 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:22.440 but you know, Donald Trump uh said he ain't gonna 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.080 sign that bill. He thinks thousand dollars. I am asking 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.760 Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:35.000 six hundred dollars to two thousand dollars or four thousand 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:39.040 dollars for a couple. I'm also asking Congress to immediately 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:44.400 get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation. Yeah, like, 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.720 on my way out the door, after shipping on y'all 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.200 this whole damn time, I'm gonna go ahead and agree that. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.760 I'm gonna say two thousand certain that not what they 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.720 asked you for months ago? Is that not what they 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.760 asked for months ago? Don't come out the gate trying 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.600 to act like you give a funk and you want 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.400 to do this for us. Now, don't do that because 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.040 you've been sitting on this ship. They had been waiting 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.000 on you for months to say what you wanted. To 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.840 look at the numbers of how many people are unemployed, 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.360 to look at the numbers of people that have gotten evicted, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.720 like people that have lost for health care. Two thousand dollars, 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.880 I'm sorry, yes, that is better than six hundred dollars, 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.640 But they are so out of touch with reality. How 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.680 you're gonna pay your landlords six hundred dollars, a thousand dollars, 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.800 two thousand dollars after being backed up for four five, 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.240 six months. How how are you gonna put a big 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.040 aspire out with a little water gun. Come on, do 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.680 better than that. I'm sorry. There should have been some 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:54.800 relief for the American citizens every single month that people 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.800 had to be at home unemployed or they lost their 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.960 unemployment benefits, whatever the case was. Like, this is ridiculous. 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.920 Essential workers should have been getting paid extra from the top. 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.120 They should have been given healthcare like all of the 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.080 essential workers who didn't have it should have been given 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.040 it at the very beginning of this pandemic. I think 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:22.080 it is very backwards, disgusting and embarrassing and lazy how 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.480 the administration handled the pandemic, and it shows a lack 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:30.160 of compassion. Well with Trump's demand of two thousand dollars 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.400 stimulus check. The Democrats are ready to bring this to 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.000 the floor this week, and they're trying to put the 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.120 pressure on Mitch McConnell, you know, like, let's do this. 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.440 It's up to you, alright, Moving right along, so solo, 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.400 any updates with Ethycopia and what's going on over there. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.360 So I'll give you guys a really quick update because 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:52.640 not much has changed outside of the situation actually getting worse. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:58.240 There are more people dying in the streets, more people 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.400 are seeking refuge is Sudan, which has now closed the 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:06.840 borders UM between Sudan and Ethiopia. UM. They are still 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:10.159 accepting refugees, but I don't think that they're having uh 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.640 as easy of a time getting to the camps as 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.280 they were prior to the borders being closed. UM. Eritrean 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.439 troops have moved into Ethiopia as well. They are a 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.920 part of what's going on unfortunately, although I do want 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.960 to say I have a lot of Eritrean friends who 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.560 do not agree with what is going on. You know 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.760 when when if you know the history of Eritrea and 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:40.720 how their government is run, it is the dictatorship Ethiopia. 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:45.480 I'm sorry. Eritrea hasn't voted in decades. They haven't been 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.119 given their their lawful right to vote in decades. So 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:54.280 I think Eritrean citizens really understand what the Tipwrye region 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.600 of Ethiopia is going through. So shout out to everyone 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.440 who has shown support UM and to those those who 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.199 haven't spoken up. You know, your your silence speaks volumes 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:09.080 and and and it just it's it's it shows, it's 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.600 it's speaks volumes. But I have yet to speak to 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.399 my mother. I still do not know where she is. 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.879 There's still a communication blackout in the area that she's in. 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.080 There has been no humanitarian aid allowed in the region. 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.920 So anyone who was forced to leave their homes without 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:30.240 money or anything like that, they are literally somewhere trying 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.359 to spend for themselves. Um. I did speak to my 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.560 father the other day, who is actually in the capital, 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.320 and even though he is okay, he is outside of 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:46.080 that region. Because of his ethnic background, he is a target. Um. 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:51.280 So he's you know, landlow as much as possible, staying cool, uh, 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:56.280 staying out of the way. But we do need more attention, 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:59.879 We need a lot more awareness. We need help, We 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.639 need the other We need other international countries to step 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.240 in and stop this because it is a humanitarian concern. 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.800 If this was an issue that the Ethiopian government had 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:16.920 with the tp Left organization, then what people are saying 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:21.600 is go for the TPL left, stop attacking the citizens 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.040 and and leaving them with no access to their money. 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.959 Medicines I'm talking about hospitals have been deserted because they 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.440 were bombs and and patients were there. There are stories 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.240 now finally coming out of what's going on with some 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.879 people and how some people have lost their lives because 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:41.520 again there's no media coverage allowed, so we we only 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:46.040 know what they're putting out um and with no communication, 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.600 it's it's difficult. So we are going to continue to 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.880 pray for Ethiopia. I need you guys to check out 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:57.919 hashtag stop war on tip rye, hashtag stop Abby. You 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.040 can definitely DM me at Underscore, Sue Solo s U 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.800 s O l O and I am wasn't happy to 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.600 get you guys some links, uh, you know, to get 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.600 you some information and also how you can help. But 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.240 let's talk about it. Let's be about it, and it's 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.240 Black lives matter. That means that all black lives matter 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.639 around the world. So let's still a weekend. I know 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:23.200 that's hard for you to talk about that. Yeah, it 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.639 is so draining, just you know, because the not knowing 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.399 part makes you think everything, you think of all the 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.439 possibilities that it could be, you know, and then of 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:35.760 course when you're watching you know, videos, online of of 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.680 refugees or different people being interviewed, and and you're actually 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:43.160 watching these videos and looking at these visitors and looking 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:47.560 for your family just in case they're there. Is gut wrenching. 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:49.879 And when I tell you, I have been so low 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.800 on energy the last three three four days. At this point, 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.679 I just think it's all catching up. But UM, the 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:00.080 work continues. We're gonna continue to bring awareness until we 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.199 can bring peace, and that's just what it is. Prayers 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.840 up man. I'm glad that you were at least able 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.280 to speak to your father and to know that he 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:12.440 was okay. And he's out there as well as your mother, 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:16.120 but not in the same place. But hopefully, UH, there 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.000 can be you know, somehow, some way, maybe he can 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:23.800 find her, or they go cross paths or something. UM, 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:27.720 just praying for that. We have to make sure we 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.560 do our due diligence and report that, so thank you 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.720 for that. Updates to UH, We'll be back with more 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.399 of the ball Alert Show. We'll be right back with 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:44.560 more of the Baller Alert Show. Message I is time 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:50.120 for Baller mail. I'm dming you from a fake account 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:54.360 because you know me, okay, I'm an industry female back 0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:57.840 and forth between Houston and Atlanta. I'm finding it hard 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.800 to keep a man who isn't intimidated by my job 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:04.920 in the industry. I am constantly around Make A Big celebrities, 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:06.960 and I had to deal with them on the regular. 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:09.840 My most recent man decided to fall back from the 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:12.240 relationship because he said it was too much to deal with. 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:17.080 He worked a very corporate job, set schedule off weekends, 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.600 whereas my schedule isn't set at all. I work around 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.520 the clock and whenever I get a very important call. 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.120 I've dated within the industry too, but that didn't work 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:29.960 either because we never had time for each other. What's 0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:33.840 a hard working woman to do? M hmm, well, let's 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:38.320 head baby girl. There there's a term my grandma used 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:43.359 to say, you make time for what you want. Okay. Now, 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.280 I didn't understand that until I met a woman to 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:51.160 put me in the right mental framework. Okay, you got 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.800 to set boundaries around your life. Back, Okay, you need 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:58.720 to set boundaries. So I'll give you a small example. 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.080 I'd like to say Tanisha because that's the name of 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:04.280 my wife. So if you hear the word tenisia, that's 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:08.160 me speaking on my soul. Nat so me and Tnisia 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:10.399 had to sit down and I said, hey, baby, you 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:12.120 know I want to spend time with you. I want 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:16.200 to still date you, you know, even though we are married. Um, 0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.480 what can I do? We came up to agreement. Every 0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:23.199 other Saturday is date night. My phone is on solid. 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:26.840 Matter of fact, she has my phone. And on Sundays 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:30.560 I don't do a damn thing, even though Sunday in 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:34.320 Atlanta is the most important day in Atlanta. So you 0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:37.000 gotta set boundaries. Now. I don't know how that's gonna 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:40.760 work for you, but if you don't, your love life, 0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:43.439 your love life is gonna fall to the wayside. Now. 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:47.480 I don't know if you want to be loved by somebody, 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:50.200 but if you do, I wish that to happen. If 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:54.240 I was you, I would start sending boundaries around. You know, hey, 0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:57.240 on x y Z, I'm going out of town for 0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.280 x y Z. Or if you find another situation ration 0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:03.800 you guys communicate on making sure you date each other. 0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:06.720 I think a lot of people that get in relationships 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:10.720 forget to date each other. And we have calendars. In 0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:14.399 my eyes are calendars. We got uh Texas reminders and 0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.520 everything going on. So I just think, Um, that's a job. 0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:19.679 It's a job being a relationship. So if you're not 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:24.480 prepared to handle what comes with the job of a relationship, 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:26.880 then you shouldn't be in a relationship. So I think, 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:31.360 right now and enjoy being single, Uh, focus on yourself, 0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:34.439 and then when you find another situation. I think, if 0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:38.040 y'all can work together, create a dope schedule that works 0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:40.680 out for the both people, you gonna have to shut down. You. 0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.240 You can't make all the money and then not be 0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:46.160 happy in a relationship. You're gonna have to make sure 0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:49.840 that relationship. Uh, you know what I'm saying. Blossoms and booms, 0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:51.719 you know what I'm saying. So it's gonna be some 0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:53.159 time where you got have to tell some people know 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:57.040 so I do it all the time. I'm pretty sure 0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:59.960 you're probably not used to that because that yes, eat 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:03.399 wools a bag and I'm talking about not a lutie 0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:06.080
