Piece 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:05.399 to the planet is Tuesday, Yes, Tuesday, still stuck in 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:09.399 the crib. Snow came down. I think we got seven 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.559 inches of snow. Man, I ain't seen as much snow 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.840 in a long time. I've been living in New York 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.080 since two thousand and six. I can't remember the last 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.960 time I've seen snow like this two over two feet 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.120 of snow. Bro, Bro, that's crazy. You guys are in 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.040 New Jersey. I'm in Detroit, and normally Detroit has worse 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:31.280 weather than the Tri state area, but we it hasn't 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.080 been bad here now. We got about twenty seven twenty 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.760 eight inches of snow. So yesterday I had to run 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.520 the CVS because one of the producers asked me I 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.400 had to do something. So I needed a blank CD, 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.560 so I ran the CBS to go get it in 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.160 the snowstorm. It took me an hour and a half 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:51.680 to get the CPS. Right, such thing is running out 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:56.440 in the snow storm? Yeah, a blank CD. Yeah, it 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.560 was a long story. So I went and got it. 0:01:58.560 --> 0:01:59.840 It took me an hour and a half to get 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.800 there and back usually takes ten minutes. Then I realized 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.560 I left my wallet at CBS, so then I had 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:07.760 to go back out to go get it again. When 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.120 I say that was like a five hour day yesterday 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.280 going back and forth the CVS and the weather was disgusting. 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.760 The snow was nasty that the streets were at plowed. 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:20.519 It was horrible outside. Yeah, I'm surprised the CVS was 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.000 even open. Yeah, they closed it early at two o'clock. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:24.440 I mean, some people still got to go get their 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.640 prescriptions and pills and medicine or whatever they needed. I 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.600 just needed some blink CD. So I don't get me wrong. Snow. 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.200 Snow is a beautiful thing, right, It's a beautiful thing, 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.200 you know when it's falling and you know your kids 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.320 are looking outside the window. And then once the lands, 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.640 it even looks pretty. But it's the aftermath, you know 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.000 what I mean, having to deal with things like the 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.239 clearing the driveway, digging the car out, digging the car 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.120 or even know, yeah my mind, I put them on 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.919 the rock, but yes, digging the car out in some cases, 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.040 it's a very strenuous process after this, what I mean, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.240 And the snow, this snow right there, the snow gonna 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:05.520 be around for two weeks absolutely, and then gets the side. Yeah, 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.680 it gets ugly, it gets it gets nasty, it gets 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:11.520 it gets all dirtys it gets really really hard, and 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.280 it's still coming down now. I'm looking out the window. 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.760 Now it's still snowing. When you have to when you 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.440 have to park on the street and the snow plow 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.639 comes and it pushes the snow on top of your 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.200 car and you have to dig it out again. Well, 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.360 Drummas just told us that his car is actually plowed in, 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:30.200 so so now that that snow gets difficult, gets hard. 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:31.960 So now I don't even know how Dramas is gonna 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.440 get it out. He's gonna really have the day when 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.120 you're gonna have to get you have to call your 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.240 people's dramas and come help you get that snow that 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:41.440 car off. Just depending on where you live. I know 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.520 where I live, they always plowed to the right, So 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.760 whenever I know what's gonna snow, I always park on 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.360 the left side of the street. I try to park 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.560 it super early so that way I don't get cloud in. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.839 You should have told drama that drama dramas. Dramas gets 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:59.400 plowed in all the time. You know what side you like, dramas, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.120 the right side of side when you get clouded. What 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.480 are you talking about? What are you talking about? Okay, 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.800 we're talking about snow, man, Get your mind out. The 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.720 gutter guy in. Yeah. The only people that like the 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.920 snow like this is I'll be honest, my dog and 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:15.560 my kids. They love it. They want to go out 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.200 and they want to jump out. Everybody else they like Nah, be. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.120 It is something comforting about the snow though, when it's 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.839 just sitting there, saddled, when it first falls, it's something 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.040 comforting about it. But not twenty seven Don't get the 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.279 hell out of here that twenty seven inches, Like there's 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.120 no where to put all the snow, like I've never 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.080 seen it where the snow is all my window like 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.080 it It's crazy. Did you just said there's no where 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.680 You just said that there's nowhere to put twenty seven inches? 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.520 You just said that early in the morning. You you 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.520 that was you? All right? Well, Nate Parker will be 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.240 joining us this morning. Oh man, Nate have a movie 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.640 out called American Skin. If you have not watched American 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.040 Skin yet, and you need to watch American Skin. I've 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.200 been watching some very tru movies I had. I had 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:05.000 an early screener of Judas in The Black Messiah, Black Messiah, 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.840 Black Massire, phenomenal film. It didn't Dominique fishback in that. 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:16.120 I don't know who. She's an amazing actor. She was um, 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.080 she was in The Hate You Give. But she's been 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.800 like a bunch of different movies and she's a great 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.560 She's in The Deuced you know what I'm talking about 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.960 she's been Brooklyn. That's why let me take a look. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.839 I think she's saying, I gotta watch that. That's a 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.120 phenomenal movie. But American Skin. American Skin is another very 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.560 trauma traumatizing movie, triggering movie because of a lot of 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.039 the things that we've been discussing on this radio, like 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.920 yesterday when I gave donkey today to the police officers 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.680 of Rochester who handcuffed and pepper sprayed that nine year 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.080 old girl, and and and the reactions you would think 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.440 somebody would have like if you were the parent in 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.159 that situation. It actually happens in American Skin, if you 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.080 haven't seen it yet, but we'll talk about it this morning, 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.000 all right.

I get it, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.880 I honestly get it, especially if you're doing that from Florida, California, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.560 because we're covered in snow, y'all covered in COVID. All right, 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.640 that's a good way to look at it. That's a 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:20.960 good way to look at it. But let's get the 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.600 show crack in front page news. What we're talking about, Well, 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.680 I send you BA COVID. Let's talk about these at 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.920 home COVID tests and what the plan is. The White 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:29.720 House is putting some money to make sure you can 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.280 get tested at home. All right, we'll get into that next. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.200 Keeping lockers to breakfast club morning morning. Everybody is cej Envy, 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.920 Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:43.920 Let's getting some front page news now. Last night NBA game, 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.480 Lebron James and the Lakers took call on Atlanta Hawks, 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.719 and it looks like he got into an argument with 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.840 one of the fans. I don't know what. Yeah, the 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.080 whole it was for them. They all got kicked out. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.440 They were going back and forth. She said that Lebron 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.440 called her a bitch, and then she started ellen and 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.839 they went back and forth, but she had her mask 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.480 off and they asked her to leave because she took 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.119 a mask down. Why Why would those thugs harassing Lebron James. 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.320 What did Lebron James do to anybody last night to 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.080 be harassed by those thugs? He said they were just 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.360 going back and forth and um, he said, they were 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.239 just talking. Ish. We have audio. Can you play the audio? 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:24.600 Which audio? U the courtside? Karen quart side Karen, all right, 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.720 Chris has been a Hawks fan forever, whatever he has 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.200 this issue with Lebron. I don't have an issue with 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.840 Lebron and don't get Lebron anyway. All of a sudden, 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.680 Lebron says something to my husband. I sat up and go, 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.200 don't talk to my husband. And he looks at me 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.640 and he goes, sit the down, bitch, and they go, 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.680 don't call me a bitch here, sit down, get the 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.640 out of here, and they go, don't talk to my 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.920 husband like that, And all of a sudden, no, I'm 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.840 getting kicked out. Excuse me, I have courtside seats that 0:07:52.960 --> 0:08:00.119 I paid for. Okay, well, I mean he called hers 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.040 been a well the NBA will showing an argument. I 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.600 didn't see Lebron say bitch one time. But here's Lebron's 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.880 what Lebron said after it. I'm having fans were back 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.560 in the building. We as players need that interaction. I 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.320 don't feel like it was warning to be kicked out, 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:13.880 but they might have had a couple of drinks maybe, 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:15.800 and they could have probably kept it going in the game. 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.840 Wouldn't have been about the game no more so. Did 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:19.880 the referees do what they had to do? And I don't, 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.240 I mean, it's fine, I don't. I don't think taking 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:23.920 down the mask or whatever the case. Maybe at that 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.000 point in time with a harmed anybody, but the people 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.480 that was right next year, I wasn't close enough to her. 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.760 I don't think any of my teammates's close enough to him. 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.640 Maybe a couple of rest maybe now, Heckelin got to 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.800 be a normal thing for Lebron at this point in 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.880 his career. Right, A lot of Lebron playing in sixteen 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.240 seventeen years, it's high school, like Heckelin got to be 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.000 a normal thing. I wonder if he's not used to 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.640 it because they haven't had fans in the arena and 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.480 so long. I want to have a level of disrespect though, 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.800 if he was cursing at Lebron and saying all kinds 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:55.600 of crazy things, and then I'm sure she started going crazy. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.800 And she starts going crazy and then and then it's 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.040 been screaming out. Now you sit down. Yeah, no, it depends. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.360 But sometimes Lebron goes back and forth. We've seen Lebron 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:09.160 go back and forth with our friend Michael tell Dad 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.360 each other. So he he goes back and forth sometimes. 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.600 But it was no, so I'm sure he's heard worse. Well, 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.320 they had to go. I just wonder. They're like, we 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.040 don't care if you have course, I see you gotta 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.720 go check it out? What else we got you?

Nah, But 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.120 sometimes you don't know when, like if I want to 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.240 uber at eight am, I call it like seven thirty 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.199 because I don't know what time is you gonna be around. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.440 And then sometimes you come alot.

No, I want you you got to 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:41.040 wait after the five five minutes? They leave that. They 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.319 don't leave after the five minutes. Sometimes they do. Yes, 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.720 they can, yes, they can lift, definitely, they can lift. 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.360 A leave. No uber, give you more than five who 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:54.600 don't just leave after the five minutes? Leave after?

Okay, Michelle Obama said, 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.280 when they go low, you go high. Nope, I take 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.000 it to the floor with him.

You got something 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:38.800 on your mom? Hello, who's this? This is Michelle? Hey, Michelle, 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.079 get it off your chest. First. Let me think good 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.640 morning to all of y'all. I love y'all's chune but 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:48.120 Charlotte man, yes, man. They pissed me off every morning. 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.040 Poll him up there begging for books, like, if they 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.000 really want to support you, I want a book, go bad. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:54.960 Stop being in for books. It's not right to help 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.680 some people. But don't keep giving all your books away. 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.840 You want a book, Mama, I don't purchase me listen. Okay, 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:03.680 you know, Michelle, I have been blessed to be a 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.400 New York Times bestselling author a couple of times over 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.000 with black privileges, shook on anxiety, playing tricks on me. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.240 I have no problem of giving out, giving out books 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.960 and and you know I love I love doctor Rita 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.319 Walker's unapologetic guy in the black mental health. Like I 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.840 bought a bunch of copies of her book to giveaway 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.240 because I think the information in it in regard to 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.280 the mental health and the black community is that important. 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.640 It is very important. But I just I think some 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:34.920 people just taking fantasy to big to be big. It's okay, 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:39.720 ain't you too? Now? Hello, who's this? What's up? Bro? 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.640 Get it off your chest? A little time to job 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.080 for going in on black contractors. Yesterday y'all was going 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.600 in on it like there's no such thing as an 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.360 honest contractor. I'm a honest contractor, and I'll be going 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:53.680 through it down here. We didn't say that a good 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.400 contractor period, regardless of color. Because you have to admit, 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.680 there's a lot of contractors who are pretty shot. I'm 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.920 not agree with you, but I also noticed that a 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.880 lot of people who have the most problems with contractors 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.400 never got worked, like if you don't understand what's involved, 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.280 Like it should be transparency from the beginning, right, so 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.680 you should know, like, hey, this could be this, this 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.160 could be that, this could be this. You know, so 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.600 you know it's always gonna cost more, not HGTV more, 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.680 but it's gonna cost more. You gotta know that. But 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.600 then it's gonna cost more than the estimate you give us. 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.680 It's undetermined because so many things affect so many other things, 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.040 you know what I mean. I'm not no, I don't 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.200 know what y'all talking about specifically, or what y'all been 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.120 through specifically, but I find myself getting in the arguments 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.720 with people who never honed a house one, never got 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:44.200 no housework, no worse, no work done before too. Why 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.080 that's why we look to you to give us a 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.520 pretty decent estimate because that's your specialty. And then a 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.600 lot of times it goes over I would say a 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.560 high percentage of times it goes over the amount of 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.040 money that you say it's gonna be. I'd rather you 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.200 tell me it's gonna cost more and then it ends 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.480 up costing less than the other way around, because we're budgeting, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.280 so you have to think people are putting money to 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:04.880 the side to get this work done based off of 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.400 an estimate that you gave them, and then when it 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.120 comes out to be way more than that, are these 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.080 all these other extra problems? Or were calling somebody else 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.040 and they say they can get it done cheaper, or 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.640 are you say it's gonna get done in a certain 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.560 amount of time and then we're waiting because we play 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.600 for it and it doesn't. Those are all things that 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.320 are difficult because people have their own plans. True indeed, 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.400 true indeed, But again where the transparency comes right, all 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.000 all this should happen. But what do you what do 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.600 you say to people who never who never did nothing before, 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.680 don't know your job and telling you how to do 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.440 your job? You know what I mean? Like things happen, 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.160 and look, most of the time we're building, it's cutting pace, 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.520 so the framing and all that stuff. If you don't 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.880 know what the last person done, so you can only 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.840 give them, you can only give them what you what 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:46.640 you know based off of you know. But once you 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:48.640 open up and then you understand that and there's things 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.000 that you find all the time. But the thing is 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.560 like she said, there's always time. It's time where you say, hey, 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.080 I gotta I have a deadline, just especially for me 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:56.760 if I'm flipping the house and I have a deadline 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.600 and I'm trying to stick to this deadline and you 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.080 got me two months over my dead line, or that's 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.600 not writing and not doing things the proper way, and 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.520 you're doing it to cut corners, and it really hurts 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.359 me more because I got to open back up those walls. 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.520 And you're talking to three people that have done this 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.439 several times. When it comes to working with contractors and 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.640 doing things around the house or building houses or fixing 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.840 the houses. So we have those problems at the point 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.400 now where I buy my own materials and I pay 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.919 the workers hourly. The most frustrating thing about dealing with 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.800 a contractor is my father was a contractor. So it's 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.840 certain things that a contractor can tell me that I 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.399 know is bs and then I can call my pops 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:31.879 and be like, Pops, such and such and such a 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.280 he'd be like, man, that dude is ripping you off. Yeah, 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.520 I mean, but there's always somebody that's gonna say that, 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.280 you know what I mean, Like, there's always somebody that's 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.800 gonna be able to do it or say, what's the disconnect? 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.680 And again, Black people were always skeptical of each other 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:46.560 in general. So you know what I'm saying. I can 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.040 come to you with with with two pure attensions, and 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.280 things happen. And I'm telling you so you know you're 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.080 looking at me like, yeah, he come to ball. You know, 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.720 I'm skeptic from all contractors. I don't care what they are, 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:00.440 Black skeptic for all contractors. I'm get it. And the 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.200 worst when the job and the job is almost done 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.520 and then the contractor goes missing because they're not that 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.840 concerned because they're onto the next that does happen, and 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:13.479 I hate that does happen? People? Will you what if 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.680 we treated y'all? What if we treat a contractors the 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.919 way uber drivers treat us? What you mean, huh? When 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.199 they pull up and they don't give us we need 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:22.760 an extra five minutes but they don't want to give 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:24.440 it to us. That's not the same because you don't 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:26.880 know that all those involved with getting that specific work 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.320 done though, like especially getting it done right. Well, I 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.080 appreciate your honest contractor man, And where you from this, 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.640 I'm from Jersey. I'm in Atlanta right now, though I'm 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.479 doing I'm doing my own thing in Atlanta, and I've 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.000 been grinding for three years out here, grinding, and trust me, 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.440 the only problems I ain't gonna say the only problems, 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.640 but the majority of the problems I have are from 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.280 people who you know, that look like me. And that's very, 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.800 very frustrating. I'm telling people like, listen, you can go like, 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:51.840 you can have these, you can talk to other people 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.200 and you can get other but you're not gonna it's 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.560 not gonna change nothing like it still has to happen. 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.879 So I deal with people who want their home to 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.200
