But Soldier Boy, I 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.200 think what his real claim to fame was that when 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.080 he came up with those songs, he was the producer, 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:16.760 the singer of this. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.880 So it the few songs that you know that did 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:21.040 do really well. 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.159 He made all of the money, and his current network 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.599 is like in the twenty millions or something like that. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.960 So yeah, So it's so that's what's so cool about 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.320 Soldier Boys that even though you know, he you know, 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.960 had a very short lived popular career, that he was 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.520 able to do so in a way that he grew 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.160 great wealth and maintained it, which you know, that's better 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.200 than more than half of the people in his kind 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.719 of like his field. So yeah, like if you google 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.960 Soldier Boy network, I think it is like is it 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.279 like twenty thousand something? 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:52.719 Crazy? 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:54.600 Yeah, he said, I made a lot of money. This 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:55.960 is one of his first I made a lot of 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.120 money doing music over the years. I want to invest 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.640 in style instead of buying jewelry, et cetera. That's a 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.600 that's a good It is way to go. 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.599 Look at you, soldier boy.

Like I hate suspense movies, 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:18.840 I can't take it. 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:19.719 I just can't take you. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.960 This is I'm not feeling the excitement like you know, 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:27.040 Facebook memories, just this is. This week, especially Facebook memories 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.640 has been reminding me of all the past three elections 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.760 or two elections, because my very first election was voting 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.000 for Barack Obama. That's the first time I cast a vote. 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.960 I was twenty one. How old was I twenty twenty 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.880 twenty one. So that was a hell of a year 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.079 to you know, assume my civic duty. And I feel 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:45.920 like nothing is going to compare to that year. And 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:50.160 also the excitement, the peer belief in what he stood for. 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.920 And you know, in twenty twelve, it was like, you know, 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.520 just bring it was all about just getting a Barack 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.679 Obama and making sure he stayed in office. And this 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.640 year it's like god wood, will it and just put 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:02.720 us out of our misery. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.800 And I'm just like, I just I'm not gonna lie. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.720 It's scary, and I'm like, so, I mean, people feel 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.320 like it's weird. My timeline looks back and forth. There 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.360 are people who are like, oh God, like I'm scared. 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.160 Are the people who are like, I'm sure she's gonna win, 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:20.480 And I'm like, I'm not sure of anything. 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.559 I'm just I was sure he wasn't going to get 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.560 the nomination. Okay, I was sure about so much exactly. 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.199 At this point, I'm just anything can happen. 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.800 There are there are a lot of uneducated people. You 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.880 know what's scariest about this selection, especially as a journalist 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.000 who works really hard. I don't even cover politics, but 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.880 I write about how, you know, politicians policies can impact 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.040 people's personal finances, which it has a huge impact on 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.560 everything from tax rates to the cost of college to 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:52.120 your retirement account. But there's just such a lack of 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.480 interest in facts. I feel like facts have been the 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.640 real loser in this election. People like, people want to 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.320 believe what they want to believe, and there's no like, 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:06.320 there's very few people, especially who are you know, on 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:11.200 lower Voldemort's side, who are interested in hearing the facts, 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:15.240 and it's really hard to fight against those people who 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:20.199 willfully want to be ignorant. And I think that's what's scariest. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.719 There's there's just a lack of like logical you know, 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.120 educated thinking and critical thinking. 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.160 Not about that, it's about a feeling that they're losing 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:40.760 they're losing power over some like mythological place that used 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.200 to exist before where there were no people of color 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.120 and women were stood in their place, and like let's 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.000 go back to like leave it to be. I'm like, man, 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.760 that was ashl bab, Like that's not there was never 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.160 Like it's so crazy how people are like I want 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:56.600 to go back to these kinds And I'm like, well, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.080 in the way that you describe in those times, it 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:00.280 never existed that. 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.440 It exists to like that for some people. I think, 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.319 what when people it's almost like in the beginning, it 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.800 didn't it didn't start out racist with the whole make 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:13.319 America Great agan thing. It's almost like, yes, in the sixties, seventies, eighties, 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.520 like manufacturing jobs were like you could get a manufacturing 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.280 job and provide for your family and it was a 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.480 nice blue collar income. And as those jobs went away. 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:27.240 The working white class, blue collar system kind of crumbled, 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.160 and you have those people who are looking back on 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.680 these old decades and they're like, man, I can't believe that, 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.840 you know, I can't provide for my family. These jobs 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.000 are disappearing. What you know, this this America is not recovering. 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.160 I'm struggling. And they say they missed the good old days, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.720 but they don't understand that. I think it's just like 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.600 sort of a everyone's everyone will look out for their 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.480 own self interests and remember how things are for them, 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.640 but they forget what the rest of the world was 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.559 going through in the sixties and seventies, and it wasn't 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.079 equal or you know, they were the only ones doing 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.199 pretty pretty well. 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.520 You know, that's exactly what I want to go back 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.320 to the time when only I was benefiting. 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:04.920 What's wrong with that? 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:08.560 Yeah, I'm perfectly happy back then. And you guys didn't 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.439 have any rights anyway, so who no one even knew 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.560 you were struggling, you know, I just part of me 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.000 is just like, man, one of these people going to 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:17.400 die out? Is that terrible? 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:18.079 You know? 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:19.880 It's so great? No, it's not paradise to think that 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:20.360 all the time. 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.440 And you know it's so crazy though, It's like all 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.400 of these, like so many people that support Trump. I'm like, dude, 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.440 you know that he would you would never be invited 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:35.240 in this house, Like you're not, Like you're not in 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.000 any way shape or form someone that he would like 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.640 hang out with, have over, want his daughter to marry, 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.760 Like you're going for a dude that is looking at 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:46.680 you like beneath him. 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.280 Quite honestly, how. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:52.240 Is this narcissistic billionaire becoming the voice for the working 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:56.920 white class in such a way. It is mind blowing. Anyway. 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.920 I feel like if anyone listening out there is as 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.320 as tired of the election as I am, Here's what 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.920 the one thing I keep holding onto is we have 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:10.280 to vote. Like the best way to get over your 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.280 election dysfunction disorder is just to go vote. Just do it, 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.400 because you can bitch about it all you want, so 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.320 long as you vote. I feel like people who don't vote, 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.160 they don't you know, they don't really have a right 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.120 to complain a vote, not voting, staying home, not voting. 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.600 I feel like you're just voting for Trump. We were 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:33.320 at we were at the house of one of fiance's relatives, 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.880 yesterday and his young cousin, he's twenty something. He's an 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.520 NYPD police officer. We were just talking. You know, it's 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.840 like an ad for the Trump campaign came up on 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.400 the TV and he was just like, yeah, man, I'm 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.000 not going to vote, like I don't know, I don't 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:47.520 know who to believe, I don't know who. And I 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:51.560 was just like, how can you not know? Like how 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:55.000 can you be on the fence and for him, I 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.000 kind of you know, and I got really upset, and 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.840 fiance was like, you need to calm down. It's my family. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.000 But I was like, I was like, what do you mean. 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.320 You have to you know, you have to make a vote. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.760 It's not just the president who's up for election. There's 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.960 all your local you know, congressman, lawmakers who are actually 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.480 writing the laws. You know, they're really important too. There's 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:17.200 a lot of legislators up for election too, that's important. 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.440 And He's just like, you know, I feel like Trump 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.040 supports stop and frisk and that helps me in my 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:27.240 job as a cop. And I'm like, Okay, that's fine. 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.560 You know, it's not even that he wants he it's 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.480 not even that he's like supporting Trump a little bit 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.480 it's that I I just don't see why people don't 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:41.960 want to vote. Yeah, I guess his sense is that 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.560 it doesn't matter. I mean, living in New York City, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.600 it's easy to think that because it's a blue state. 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:52.160 But I don't know. I wouldn't feel it wouldn't feel right. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.960 It would feel like not filing my taxes or like 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.600 not going for annual physical I would never miss that 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.280 kind of stuff. How could you miss the voting? 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.040 No, I just like I said, I just I'm gonna 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.160 be opptensity. I'm just I'm pretty much gonna turn off 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:10.480 Internet because I know it's gonna be pray some emails. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.320 I'm probably gonna watch some reruns of a Fixer Upper. 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.840 You're not gonna watch any election coverage. I'm gonna watch. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.480 Sorry, even when, even when when I first voted for 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.840 President Obama, like I was like, I was like so 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:24.960 sick to my stomach cause I was listening and I 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.200 was like breathing heavy, like, oh, I just can't take it. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.000 I'm sure I'm going to watch some, but I'm gonna 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:37.280 be like so my mind can't take my I know. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:42.560 And I'm just praying for a decisive victory. I'm praying 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:47.920 that I'm praying that everyone just does the right thing 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:49.679 for the country and not just the right thing for 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:54.440 themselves anyway.

Ignorance is a universal state of mind in 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:06.359 some places, speaking of well, actually a terrible segue. But 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.760 since we talked about Solanga's album the other day, I 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.359 wanted to see if you had a chance to watch 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.920 her performance in SNL and see if her performance has 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.320 uh because you weren't so impressed by the album. But 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.240
