30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,640

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,920

38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: Let's understand something off the bat right now. This is

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 4: not a sports podcast. This is something that I've been

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 4: aching to do for many, many years in my career.

41
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: Although I love sports, although I've been attached to sports,

42
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: I have a lot of interest, particularly in the world

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 4: of politics, things that are going on in the real

44
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: world on an everyday basis, of things that I pay

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: attention to religiously. This is my very own podcast. This

46
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: is one hundred percent owned by me. So for those

47
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: of you out there ready to put up your caution

48
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 4: every signs and what have you, don't look anywhere else

49
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 4: but who you're listening to right now. You never know

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: what I'm going to bring. This is about a conversation.

51
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 4: This is about me expressing a lot of things that

52
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 4: I want to touch on that I have a passion about.

53
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 4: I'm all about trying to contribute, to help and make

54
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: the world a better place. But in order to do that,

55
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 4: you gotta call it like you see it. You can't

56
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 4: sugarcoat stuff all the time. You can't cut corners, you

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 4: can't circumvent issues and what have you and be afraid

58
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: about addressing the things that need to be addressed. If

59
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 4: you try to predict where I'm going to come from,

60
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: that's a mistake. And I'm just letting y'all know I'm coming.
