I 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.119 got the call last minute asking if I could fill in, 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.839 and I said, all right, you know what I'm gonna 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.160 do that.

If y'all know me, y'all know, I'm a 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.680 huge DMX fan. I can't remember what episode when I 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.480 broke down by the chicken. What this chicken wanted to run? 0:01:53.560 --> 0:02:00.640 If I'm a creepernick coming through God, you know gone. 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.760 When I met it, she had a star side seven man. 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.600 I was the biggest DMX fans still is. I actually 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.320 had a chance to DJ for him. He popular at 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.400 the club eleven forty five a couple of weeks ago, 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.280 and he was chilling until I started playing from New 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.639 York vibes. I played in New York music. It was 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.959 one of the highlights of my life. UM leaves, DMX. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.960 We just hope you can pull through this. Um I 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:30.840 heard it's not looking good, so you know, I'm just 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.320 thinking about the good times, and I'm thinking about one 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.880 of my favorite He's one of my favorite New York rounds. 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.600 You know, I'm from the South but definitely have love 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.160 for a lot of East Coast rap and DMX was 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.000 one of the main people for me growing up that 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.200 I loved his music and I still do. Yes, what's 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.440 crazy is y'all know his family held a candlelit vigil 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.280 outside of you know, the hospital where he is, and 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:59.639 they actually played a prayer that he said that he 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.040 um on the loudspeaker for him to hear it. And 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:08.000 I just couldn't imagine being someone that is having this 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:13.520 outer body experience and like hearing myself in prayer in 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:18.400 real time, like it's actually happening. Like it was so eerie, 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.840 to be honest with you, Um, it was very eerie. 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.800 But I do hope that he pulls through. He's getting 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.880 a lot of love from the community, and I really 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:32.200 hope that he feels it because he deserves to be here. 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.320 You know, he deserves to fight one more time and 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.720 I really hope he gets that opportunity. So UM, shout 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.760 out to all the people that have gone out to 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.080 show him support. I mean, the rough Riders went through 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.000 and and did their ride their pull up. I am 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.000 really concerned because I read today that he was actually um. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.120 He tested positive for COVID while in the hospital as well, 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.280 And I'm just like, lord emergencies, Like how much can 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.000 he fight? How much any fight right now? So I'm 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.840 I am really pulling, hoping for him, hoping that he 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.960 pulls through. So DMX, we love you and we wi 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.280 you the best. Yeah, Man, DMX is definitely a preacher man. 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.600 He would go from rap to preaching man um. Yeah, 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.440 prayers up for him and prayers up for Paul Pierce 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.520 because ESPN has fired this gentleman um shortly after a 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.600 viral Instagram video that y'all see the video of all 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.599 the girls in the back. Yeah. Now, the catch staff 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.440 for me is whose house was he at? Was he 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.320 at an NBA owner's house. Was he at a comrade 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:39.960 from ESPN's house. Was he somewhere with somebody also important 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.479 and decided not to switch and just took the fall 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.719 for it. But I didn't know that he was in 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:49.240 California because he was burning up the good weed, which 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.559 just legal my might might have been some guerrilla glue. 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.600 That's the new strand that's kind of lit out here 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.320 in these streets. Uh, Paul Pierce, thank you because you 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.599 are now at the cover of Rory Talk volume for 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.279 the volume eight. Um, I got the graphic coming out 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.560 real soon. I didn't see nothing wrong with it, but 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:13.120 I will I will say professionally, Uh, Disney owns ESPN, 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.840 and there is a code of conduct um, and these 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.520 people who work for them have to sign that. UM. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.080 Of course you just signed when you get an application. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:29.760 Of course you just show Yeah, five years cool. Now. 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.760 They did say if he hadn't released it, then it 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:34.800 would have been different, it would have been a different story. 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:39.280 But since he actually was on live himself, that was 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:45.440 the big problem. You could clearly tell he was high. Yeah, 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.120 and he's been with the network ESPN for three and 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.000 a half years. He's featured on the NBA Countdown and 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.800 the Jump Listen. I think there has to be some 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:59.560 type of separation between what people do professionally and what 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.080 they do their personal life. I think some stuff is 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.920 just like, okay, it's overkill, Like we'd just legal where 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.960 he's at. It's about to be legal damn near everywhere 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.880 within the next few years. Okay. Um. We we're definitely 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.280 seeing an uneven playing field when it comes down to 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.880 weed Um the scrippers. I mean, I get it. You know, 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.960 he's working for the mouth. I get it. He's ultimately 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.480 they're working for the MOUs. But I don't know if 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.440 he should have got fired. I mean, it's not like 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.240 it was you know, domestic violence, like rape, Like it 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:35.320 was him enjoying part of some of America's favorite past time. 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:44.960 In my opinion, he fired damn brom like, yeah, gotta fire. Listen, 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.800 weed and strippers. It sounds like he was in Atlanta, Okay, 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.599 he fired from someone who enjoys the same thing, like 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.880 come on, man, well look and well at least he 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.000 was in the house and not at a public place, 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.359 because you know, it's a lot of you know, it 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.760 could have been a whole different story. Who knows whose 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.800 house he was that because he wasn't at his I'm 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.680 not sure. But ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna keep this 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.480 in case you missed it kind of short because we 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.160 do have a jam pack show for you today. But 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.520 before we get out of here, uh, I want to 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.520 give you some COVID nineteen updates. Now, a new strand 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.360 of COVID nineteen has been found in California. It's called 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.720 the double mutant. It was first appearing in India. Uh. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.520 The evolvement strand is known as the double mutant since 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:34.080 it has two mutations and the virus that helps lock 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:39.920 into cells. Now I'm trying to figure out, is uh 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:44.360 the vaccine that everybody has already been taking gonna help 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:50.920 this or you? No? No, it's barely been proven to help. 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.040 But it's up as to damn help girl, how to 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.520 hell with all help some ship. No, the answer is no, 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:03.000 first of all. So solo, yes, yes, just so you know, 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.240 nobody's arms has been falling off. Okay, now, yeah, it takes. 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.119 I'm just letting you know. It's just like blue shot. Guys, 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.600 you get a flu shot twice or twice a year 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.200 when you go to the doctor. Okay, when we go 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.200 to your doctor feed check up, she's going twice yere. 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.280 I hope some of y'all last go twice a year. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.160 That little that's a whole another episode. Mother, need to 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.200 go to the doctor, especially African American man. Like I 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.400 said a couple of episodes ago, I need to get 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.280 that guy. Damn fo the ye old check when they 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:40.560 you know, have you taken it yet not yet, Okay, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.200 I thought you you're talking about Wait, I'm out. Mr 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.960 Ali gott me after we have to finish this life 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.520 insurance thing because she's nervous, so I gotta. Once I 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.640 finished his life insurance situation, which I think is done, 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.080 I'm gonna go ahead and goddamn. You know what I'm saying, 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.959 get the shot shot. You know what I'm talking. But 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:00.959 listen all I'm saying. It's a flu shot. You get 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.240 a flu shot twice a year. It's gonna be another 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.480 flu shot or another COVID shot that's gonna come out 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.920 again that you'll be it will be availed up for 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.560 us to take the same thing with COVID, same thing 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.520 with the flu shots. And keep in mind Ferrari, Ferrari, 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:22.040 fer the flu shot has been texted for a long time, 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:27.240 that that was really really really tested. The shot out. 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.000 Still get the fluid, just not an aggressive version of 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:35.880 it now COVID. That scene came out overnight. I just 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.760 think more so this is now knowledge for us to 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.440 like people who don't haven't been paying attention to things 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:47.200 like this. This is normal. The CDC has always been around, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.839 They've always been making public statements. You just we just 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.000 chose not to know the West no virus all the 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:58.439 other ship Ebola, it was a similar situation. Well, it's 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:04.719 unclear if the kusky Gi experiment. Well, guys, it's it's 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.040 unclear if the code, if the current COVID nineteen variant 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:12.040 is more infectious or immune to the coronavirus vaccine. But 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:17.880 the infectious disease specialist shin Home claims that it's logical 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:22.679 that it will be. So we will see before we 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.560 hop out of here, guys, I'm gonna take the sue 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.240 solo real quick. You got a quick update on Ethiopia 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:32.559 or no, there's definitely updates on Ethiopia. The genocide and 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:38.199 Tivi's still happening. Um. There has still been major telecom outages, 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.160 meaning it's very difficult to get people on the phone, email, text, video, 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:46.000 none of that. We're unable to get direct contact most 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:51.240 of the time. My mother actually, um fell ill. She's 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.199 she's okay, she's going better, but there's no access to 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.719 medical there's no access to bank accounts, work, Um, she 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:04.520 at travel outside of her town. Um. The attacks are 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.840 very much still happening. We are getting much a little 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.280 more coverage in the media lately. Um. As most of 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.800 you guys may have heard, The Weekend recently donated a 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:18.120 million dollars to help feed people that have been displaced. Um. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.000 You know, Nail meccampbell has been talking about it. It's 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:26.640 been on CNN, and actually the unelected Prime Minister of Ethiopia, 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:31.719 Abby Akhmed, who is the root of all of this, 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:37.600 is actually starting to admit to war crimes you know, happening. However, 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:42.400 he's not taking responsibibility peace, blaming it on Eritrean soldiers. However, 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.880 he allowed air Tran soldiers to be there. Um, so 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:50.360 basically has been completely locked in between you know, the 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.880 southern part of Ethiopia and Eritrea because it's right there 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.040 at the northern border of Ethiopia. So that fight is 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.240 still happening. We still need attention, UM. Please check about 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.839 hashtag stop form too right. You can follow me on 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.959 Instagram at underscore too slow to keep up, and make 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.120 sure you follow this other page at to go to 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:12.400 central um where. Really it's just a page that I 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.320 recently created to kind of put a little extra light 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.040 on this. But I want to come at it from 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.679 a place of love, you know, I think what I'm 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.400 starting to realize this is there's a lot of Ethiopias 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.760 history that I don't know and that I'm learning now, 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:31.160 and I'm realizing one very common thing is revenge typically 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:35.160 comes from a hurt place. So for us to you know, 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.839 never see things like this happened again, we all and 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.960 this goes to people all over the world. This goes 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.280 to the Black Lives Matter movement, it goes to everything. 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.200 We have to figure out why people are so hurt 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.760 and so spiteful and want to be revengeful, and and 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.400 hear them out because sometimes it just comes from a 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.800 hurt place. They there were things that have happened to 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:57.200 other ethnicities that I didn't know about, and maybe they 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.480 feel like I didn't speak out you and I definitely 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.680 want to acknowledge that to the other ethnicities. Um. However, 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.719 what's going on in Sigurd is it's completely obvious that 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.880 the to out of people are disproportionately negatively being affected. 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.079 I mean, the government is trying to clear and entire 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.520 ethnicity people out. So please continue to you know, help 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.360 us by you know, tweeting and just educating yourself on it. Um. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.400 The protests have been growing like Crazy d C, New York, 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.200 l A, Atlanta.

Josh, yeah, no, now definitely, 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.160 aren't you hit it on the nail? You know, we 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.040 just want to make sure that everybody when we creating 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.600 our product and creating our rooms, that everybody know that 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.680 we're kings and queens out here. So you know when 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.400 they wear our hats, you know what, and know that 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.320 you're wearing a crown and walk with your head. So 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.160 basically you're saying, I should switch my this brim to 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.280 your brother. Look. I was about to get to you 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.200 all the way. Yeah, lookna, I was gonna get to 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:44.720 you Friday. I was gonna let you know that we're 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.840 gonna get you bram hat. You know what I'm saying, 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.080 even even a baseball cat. You know, I'm saying, we 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.640 got to switch it up a little bit. Oh okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:57.040 we're here. Yeah, actually got one all right, now, okay cool? 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.560 So how did y'all even come up with this? Like? 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.840 What may jobs don't want to start making hats? I mean, yeah, 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.400 I actually go into it a little bit. I think obviously, 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.000 I think people don't realize that hats are so sustainable. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.520 Right that most of the had companies that bear wrongs 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.160 is the eighteen hundreds. But to be honest, there hasn't 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:17.600 been any cool African American hat companies in the game. 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:19.760 So for us, maybe want to change the industry and 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:23.480 become a number one hat luxury hat company, And that's 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.120 what we did. Yeah, and it's and it's crazy because 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.120 a lot of people say why for doors or you know, 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.680 why start there? Because most people when they started their 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.880 company back in the day, I say back in the 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.560 day they started company with dad had baseball caps, you know, 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.280 the regular fitteds or the snapbacks. So they were looking 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:41.840 at us and we said we're gonna go straight for 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.800 the luxury for doors, and they looked at us like 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.880 we was crazy. But we wanted to create that that blueprint. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.280 You know, we didn't have that um going forward, like 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.920 we didn't have nobody to look to to help guide 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:53.680 us through that way. But we wanted to be those 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.240 pillars and let let people know that you can do 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.840 something new and did something different that you know it 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.680 has been done, but not by us. Y'all had some 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:06.600 flack people in your products. Okay, I've seen you know, Eva, 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:11.080 I've seen Karen Sybil. How is it that you're getting 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:22.440 these products? I mean, yeah, saw that the roads it's 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:28.280 called roads so flat it's it's us. I mean I 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.440 think it's me and tag me. I think anytime we 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:33.520 have a conversation us being authentic who we are, right, 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.600 what you see is what you get us being cool. 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.720 That's who we are and that reflexing to the brand. 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.359 So that's I mean, it's being authentic who we are 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.760 honestly and it's real argain and you know, we want 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.320 people to, you know, love what they're wearing.
