0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just so tired, and we are still doing this

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>from home at the very end of we are still

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 1>posting the Ball Alert Show podcasts from home. Yes, did

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>y'all think it was gonna last this long? Mm hmm yes,

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>because Liko is in charge. You're getting about it though.

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it crazy how Joe Biden isn't even in the

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>office yet and it's already given us such a presidential vibe.

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>He already has his team together, he's already telling us

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>what his plans are. And then we can't even you know,

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:21.479
<v Speaker 1>two thousand now stimulus checked, that's been well overdue from

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>the current administration. Then checking chieve six honey tokens that's

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>coming from the presidential seat. I don't know, y'all, I'm

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm over. I'm over. I've been over. I've been over it.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>What's killing me about that? Though? It's like everybody's like,

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, the new Year. Oh my god, I can't wait.

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Like this pandemic is getting on my nerves. It's not

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna go away at the stroke of midnight, y'all. It's

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>not over January one. We got a lot of work

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to do. And to be honest, like I think we

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of healing to do. A lot of

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>people are gonna realize how traumatic money has actually been.

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's hit a lot of people yet,

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>but it will sink in very soon. Well you know

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>what it's needs to sink in in case you missed it,

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, Jeremiah still wears his hospital bracelet. After the

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>COVID battle, he told Kendri g of Chicago's One of

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Seven five w g C, I what up? What up?

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>What up? Shottown n What did do baby? It's just

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>a reminder of what I've been through. Then, he joked

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, these type of bands are hard

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to take off too. Um, I mean, the hospital bands

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>are pretty tough to take off. Not famil, are you ripping?

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Bitches off, But I under I understand the sentiment, and

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I know that the COVID is real, and I know

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>he had a near um, near life situation. So um,

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>thoughts of prayers to him. I'm glad he's okay. I

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>am so happy that he is okay. Um. You know,

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>when the articles were coming out, it was scary, you know,

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>not just because he's Jeremib but but but for anyone

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.239
<v Speaker 1>that has been dealing with COVID nineteen to the extent

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>that he was dealing with it. I mean, we heard

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>some horror stories of people that had to be on ventilators.

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>We've heard people even say that they may be dealing

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>with long term effects after having COVID. So it was scary.

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, the community definitely rallied and prayed for him.

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I just need you to take the band off off, bro,

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>just like y'all know artists. I don't know that that's

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>something to do with artistist, but I say artists because

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>you know some people they take things and you know,

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>he could be in the studio right now, you know

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, make it a record, and this could

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>be his you know, motivation two to push that out.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, what I'm saying. Everything inspires artists in many

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>different ways. So maybe he's in the studio now, who knows.

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but piece of Jeremiah. I'm glad he's

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>feeling better. I wonder if he apologize to Tiana Taylor

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>now that he's gone through ma'am. Okay, let's move along.

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Us and his wife, Samantha, gives an announced of divorce. Wow,

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>what is this guy? Damn his his brain rober got

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>stolen out the driveway. I mean he got it back

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:30.679
<v Speaker 1>in three hours. But now this with a wife, that's sad.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>The announce on social media that they were divorcing. Any

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 1>of their four year marriage. Tyres and Semantha married the

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>two seventeen. Their daughter was born in two thousand and eighteen.

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Should be three. Throughout this marriage with Samantha, it's been

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a pretty you know. Yeah, yeah, Trease goes through it.

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>He's been going through it. I mean, it makes you wonder, like,

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>is it him? I was just about say after this,

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>but so many times now, Broy, it's the fingers gonna

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:14.279
<v Speaker 1>start pointing this way or this way back, and then

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna go start going like these people are gonna

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>be alright alone. Now, I mean, unfortunately, you know, sometimes

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>trouble does follow people, you know, so it may not

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>necessarily be fair to think that it is him or

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.840
<v Speaker 1>assume that it is him. But after a while, you're right,

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>like where they're smoke, there's fired, and people are going

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>to start to question him. So nonetheless, I hope they

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 1>are okay. I hope they can co parent. I hope

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 1>that he has access to this child um as freely

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>as as any parent deserves has to have access to

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>their kid um. And I just hope that they can

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>make it through the holiday season. It's already been brough,

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Like this year has already been rough. So to imagine

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>a child dealing with what everyone else felt was and

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>then dealing with your family splitting up during the holiday season,

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>that's rough. A lot of people already have holiday anxiety.

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.239
<v Speaker 1>I am one of them, so I couldnt imagine going

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>through that as a kid. Okay, I got some good news.

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, y'all know I'm sneaker head Master Pe and

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Baron Davis. You know, he's a former NBA player. They

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>are in talks to by reboked for two point four

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars. Alert really worth that much? Well, you know,

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Adidas acquired Rebok back in two thousand five for three

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>point eight billion. However, it's value has decreased significantly and

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Adidas is looking to offload this brand. So who better

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to buy then master P. But you know, mamter P,

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>he has his own shoe called them in Natti, So

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:59.919
<v Speaker 1>I wonder will but they're cool cool. Well I wonder

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>if if that could be a collaboration right there, if

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 1>he oh just put them in Nati on reboking you

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>know that now that now, that would definitely be a better. Look,

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>what is the plan? Okay, you obtained this company that

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>has already appreciattive value, right, what is the plan from

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>master P to to take it back to where it

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>needs to be or take it up to where it

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>needs to be back rebranded? Yeah? First, the first things first,

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>they need to they need to sign a marquee athlete.

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>So it won't be a Lebron but like a Zion

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>but see Zion signed to Jordan's. But it will have

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to be a marquee talented um athlete or I mean

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>they've worked with athletes, and I just think that sometimes

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>y'all know this man, like sometimes sometimes it might just

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>it needs to be a marquee athlete though. It has

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>to be uh Paul George or um uh Kawai Leonard.

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>It has to be someone that if it's not that big,

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 1>then you know it's gonna be you know, they would

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>still just be average. Now do you think they designers

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>on the team? What was that? They need some new designers,

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>some new sneaker designers. They definitely need some off whites. Rebox,

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>they need some off whites they need. I was never

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>a Rebox fan though, like they are right, it was

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>just the Classics for me, But every other ship that

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>they really liked was just just not the Iverson's Lilla.

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Iverson was a marquee athlete. That's what I'm trying to say.

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>A marquee athlete will make you look at it differently,

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Like look at how we looked at under Armor when

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Steph Curry was on his tear. The kids were buying

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>under Armor, and right now Kauai Kawai Leonard got some

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>some kids buying New Balance because he's with new battles.

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>But if Rebot can grab him and give him a

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>shoot that looks dope, and who who like ka um

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Kawi Leonard Baron Davis, Masterpee, come on, man, make that happen.

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>And then of course they got to redrop some arms

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>from Ali I prison shoes, some some newer silhoue. Now

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>that would be so fire. I am excited that, you know,

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Master Pie wants to do this. I just really hope

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.199
<v Speaker 1>and pray that it is the revival that we bought me.

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. It would be so fire

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>if we could have this black owned company, you know

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>that we could probably rock and support and see it

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>go back to this big brand name that it really

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>used to be. I mean, it definitely is still recognizeable.

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 1>People still know the brand, but it's just it's not

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>like how it used to be. So I do hope

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>that Master Pie can take this and run with it.

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:59.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like we know he can. Um hope they just

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>don't just hold it. And I think that people should

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>just buy it because it's black owned. Now. Young Thugs

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>says that he has more anthems than jay Z. What

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think, Rory? I think Young Thug is a

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 1>very smart individual. Um, he's a unicorn. I ain't gonna

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:26.439
<v Speaker 1>lie to y'all. He's a unicorn. He's specially gifted artists,

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and he knows what he's doing when he says things

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>like this, Uh, do I think he has more anthems

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>than jay Z? No, but you cannot deny Young Thugs

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 1>records he has. Now, he has said that it's not

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>about he's he records. His argument is that the kids

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>know more Young Thugs songs. They just know more than

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>jay Z songs. I would agree with that. I would

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>agree with that, and not the obvious like there's a

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 1>major generational gap. Of course, of course there are rappers

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that we listen to now that don't really know about

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>jay Z's catalog. So of course the generation that's probably

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 1>these current rappers don't know much about jay Z. So

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.839
<v Speaker 1>I think it's it's an unfair comparison. Although it's true

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to a degree. I think it's unfair to say, like,

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.439
<v Speaker 1>because the kids know me, I have more anthems, that

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>that's I mean, I don't know who was popping to

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.560
<v Speaker 1>three generations ago, you know what I'm saying, unless I've

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 1>looked into it. And these kids these days, they're not

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>music sounds a lot of like right now. Okay, A

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of artists are taking the same melodies and same

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>style and that's what they're rocking with. So of course,

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 1>if this is all I listened to in the New Age,

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you care enough to research what was popping back then

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>when it sounds completely different in a city girl NBA world,

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>young NBA world. I've talked to this kid. He was

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>about he about eleven. He thought jay Z was a singer.

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Wait time out. My twelve year old considers jay Z

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Beyonce's husband. She doesn't know nothing about his music. I

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>had to who he was and what he did and

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>how much he has contributed to the mutual to culture.

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I had to teach her that though you know what

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, and if if a parent or someone who's

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 1>older doesn't do that, than someone who's twelve fifteen is

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna gravitate towards who's popular right now. I'm not gonna

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:46.679
<v Speaker 1>necessarily say that. Like, you know, you have to live

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>every day praising, you know, publicly praising the people ahead

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>of you. But we have to stop discrediting people that

0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>really set the bar, especially within our own culture. It's like,

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:05.079
<v Speaker 1>we gotta stop doing that. Yes, we are younger, we're fresh,

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>we are popping right now. I got you, but please

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 1>try not to discredit your own, especially in our in

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 1>our own industries, Like we needed jay Z to do

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>everything he did in his past, which is leading him

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>to do everything he's doing currently and he's leaving his

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>mark on the world. So I'm not really into the

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:32.479
<v Speaker 1>comparisons because sometimes it comes off as if you're disrespecting

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the other person. One person, yeah, I got you, And

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 1>like for example of the Kobe and Lebron thing before

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Kobe passed away r P Cope, they always compare Kobe

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>and Lebron and Kobe fans we're so disrespectful, respectful towards

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Lebron fans, and vice versa. The same thing with Lebron

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and Michael Jordan's same thing. The younger generation think Lebron

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>is the goat and the older generation thinks that Michael

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Jordan's the goat, and the conversations sometimes tend to get

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 1>disrespectful between the two. Well, let me say this. I

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know I don't know thirty to forty Young Thug songs,

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know every Young Thugs song, and I don't

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.199
<v Speaker 1>know whevery jay Z song, So how about that? But

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>what I do know is that bitcoin is popping, You're

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 1>making its way to the sports world. Yeah, this dude,

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>all this Panthers, the Carolina Panthers tackle Russell whom I

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 1>hope I've seen his name right? Who come to get

0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>half of his salary paid in bitcoin? I don't love

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that's smart or or dope or what I mean. I mean,

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>from my understanding, bitcoin is doing absolutely amazing and one

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin equals a whole lot of ship ton of money. Um.

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't necessarily understand cryptocurrency, so I'm not even gonna

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.080
<v Speaker 1>sit here and say too much about it. But I

0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>think if you truly believe that we are going into

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 1>digital currency, then will be ahead of the curb and

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 1>our people actually making legal purchases with bitcoin already. Yes,

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>so what what's the problem. I believe it has to

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>be rather large, but yeah, definitely. I mean, as long

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>as you could spend the money then Yeah, he tweeted

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>pay me in bitcoin and that, which became true on Tuesday,

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and they when he agreed to a fifty fifty split

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>of his thirteen million dollars salary between bitcoin and flat currency.

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mean and and and if again, let's

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 1>just be smart here. If he's being smart and knowing

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>that the numbers will increase or you know, it's gonna

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>get bigger. He's gonna get a nice flip um And

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 1>what five years now, I am I wrong? Or did

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin like originally become like or you know, cryptocurrency in general.

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Bit The thing, the reason why people say bitcoin so much,

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>it's really just because of the brand. Like it's a

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>big brand. So you know, big brand companies are usually

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna win, they're gonna be ahead. But there are lots

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 1>of different companies that have cryptocurrency. Now. I just remember

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 1>watching something and it was what I took from it

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 1>was bitcoin or cryptocurrency was a great way of like purpacy,

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 1>purchasing illegal things, um drugs, yes, so yeah so, And

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the whole point is that you're not traced. The government

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 1>cannot find what you purchased or who you purchased it from.

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's kind of like just going into this

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 1>black market of buying whatever the hell you want with

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>no consequences. And now it just seems like it is

0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 1>growing into now like people can probably start buying the

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 1>groceries with bitcoin pretty soon. Yeah. And I think, just

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 1>like the marijuana market, soon it's going to be fully

0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:16.680
<v Speaker 1>legal everywhere at once the government figures out how to monetize,

0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 1>monetize and charge their taxes. Once they figure that part out,

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:25.000
<v Speaker 1>it's probably gonna be a generic way of paying. That

0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 1>is a fact, because that's what they the government gonna do,

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.920
<v Speaker 1>is come get their money. They're gonna come collect, Yeah,

0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and then they're gonna hold on to it. In the pandemic,

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:38.920
<v Speaker 1>when the American people needed Speaking of the American people,

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:45.119
<v Speaker 1>our first African American female vice president took the first

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:51.440
<v Speaker 1>dose of the COVID nineteen vaccine. Octavia and Suzanne, Well,

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 1>she didn't. She took the maderna. Well, one of two,

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.439
<v Speaker 1>you're right, one of two. I'm just not I'm not

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>interested it. The thing is, we don't have enough knowledge

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.640
<v Speaker 1>of what the long term effects are. Like, yeah, people

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.919
<v Speaker 1>are saying, oh, nothing happened to me, But how do

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you know something they happening inside your body? Like, how

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:13.959
<v Speaker 1>do you know when you have kids, they won't come

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.880
<v Speaker 1>out with three fucking arms or or some weird no balls,

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, like something weird, Like we don't know what

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.120
<v Speaker 1>it's doing to to us. We don't know. I'm sorry,

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the national nation of kids won't come out looking like them, folks,

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:32.880
<v Speaker 1>from damn Futurama. Oh my gosh, who I'm gonna lake

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 1>people gonna have a cartoon babies. What you're saying, they're

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna look like something. They're not gonna look human, They're

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna look like Trump. Well, Karma Harris says, let's do it,

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and she trusted. She said when she got her vaccine,

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>she said that was easy. I barely felt it because

0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>we we've all taken shots before. We know it's easy.

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 1>We just also know that black people have always been

0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:09.120
<v Speaker 1>guinea pigs. We've always been the lab rides, and the

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:13.359
<v Speaker 1>US government has broken our trust. Well, she says she

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 1>trust the scientists. It is the scientists who created and

0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:23.160
<v Speaker 1>approved this, So she wants the American people to trust

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 1>the scientists, including Sue Solo. I don't trust Donald Trump

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the next telling them to hurry up and come up

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>with something, hurry up and approve it. No, it don't.

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 1>It don't sound like they came up with it and

0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:40.919
<v Speaker 1>they were happy to put it out. It sounds like

0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 1>they fucking had to cool. What's for you? Any time?

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take the vaccine, y'all, Okay, we're gonna put

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.440
<v Speaker 1>it on camera. Remember, it's gonna be it's gonna be

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 1>a Balller episode. I'm gonna take the vaccine on that,

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.359
<v Speaker 1>all right. I will be there. I'll be there in

0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 1>support to catch you when you say, okay, you're gonna

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.119
<v Speaker 1>be just. I don't think anybody and my family is

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna take it though. Yeah, no Caribbean ever, it's going

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.399
<v Speaker 1>to take it. Nobody from the Caribbean is taking that ship. No,

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:27.640
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna We're gonna have our seams are ginger. Well,

0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.880
<v Speaker 1>if anybody was gonna be in the household to take

0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.560
<v Speaker 1>it, it it would be the man of the house. So, now,

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.359
<v Speaker 1>how the wife you feel about it? Like, are the

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:40.720
<v Speaker 1>kids gonna get vaccinated? We actually haven't talked about that yet. So, um,

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be definitely a subject because I mean it's

0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:46.280
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be available for anybody like us to take

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of months. So we'll have a conversation. Um,

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:55.400

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:59.440
<v Speaker 1>what you just said, I was like, you know, so

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:03.199
<v Speaker 1>in our clubhouse room at Sue Solo on clubhouse at

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Ferrari Simmons, Uh, I talked about, you know, my insecurities

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 1>like I speak about I think a lot of times

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 1>men don't talk about their insecurities because it's a manly

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.520
<v Speaker 1>type of thing to be like, No, I'm I ain't

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:18.159
<v Speaker 1>insecure about that, I ain't tripping on that. But in

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 1>the whole time, you be insecure. Um with her. I

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:25.159
<v Speaker 1>shared my insecurities with her, and if you trust if

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you trust your lady. This is if she's the one

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:30.359
<v Speaker 1>and you trust her, you know you can share your

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:35.160
<v Speaker 1>insecurities with her, and you know she doesn't. Right, That's

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:37.160
<v Speaker 1>how it should be. That's how she's the same thing

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 1>with her whatever whatever, you know, there's an issue for her.

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:43.639
<v Speaker 1>I make sure that I don't make sure I don't

0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:48.000
<v Speaker 1>leave her with an insecure situation. So I just stay,

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I stay in my lane. Where a team. Um. Again,

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.919
<v Speaker 1>I've never felt this way about somebody before. So yeah,

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think I would find somebody like her, but

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 1>she found. I want to say, she's out met. So

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 1>how did you guys meet? Uh? We were friends. Just

0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 1>we're just friends for a long time. Um, and the

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.159
<v Speaker 1>conversation was always good. But it wasn't until I was

0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:14.200
<v Speaker 1>single that I, you know, I started hanging out with her.

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Once I once I was single, I was like, damn, okay,

0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:20.879
<v Speaker 1>you got a little but bad girl. Okay. I was

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:24.199
<v Speaker 1>extremely attracted to her because from afar, I never I

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.199
<v Speaker 1>didn't I didn't know, you know, because I never crossed

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:28.879
<v Speaker 1>that line once I was when I was in the

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>previous relationship. Once I was single, well started hanging out.

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:36.120
<v Speaker 1>We started going out to eat, and then we would Um,

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I never would talk on the phone like that, but

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I would talk on the phone with her for hours.

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 1>So that's how I kind of the first thing. And

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 1>then I was like, okay, let me put my sister on,

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:47.879
<v Speaker 1>let me put my mom on her. My mom met her,

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and then my sisters met her, and they, you know,

0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 1>they was like, oh yeah, I like her. That's for

0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the first time. My little sister and my mom was

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:04.159
<v Speaker 1>on the same both said oh yeah, she she solid.

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's why I was all right cool, because I

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:08.439
<v Speaker 1>never did that before that either. I always was like,

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:11.639
<v Speaker 1>all right, cool, they cool, cool whatever. Yeah, yeah, And

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 1>then we just started getting tight and tighter and tighter,

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 1>and then the conversation and we just enjoyed the same thing.

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 1>She finishes my sentences, I finished her sentences. I know

0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:23.440
<v Speaker 1>what she's thinking, she knows what I'm thinking. And again,

0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I've never been aligned mentally anyone before across the across

0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 1>the board. That's how I knew, damn, this is this

0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 1>is it right here? You know, I just felt I

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 1>just felt that immediate connection. And again I never felt

0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:41.160
<v Speaker 1>that way before. That's why when my friends be like, oh,

0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:42.719
<v Speaker 1>how do you know I said, bro, I don't know.

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I just I just felt I felt butterflies in my

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>stomach and just on some manship, I don't I don't

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.720
<v Speaker 1>want to feel butterflies in my stomach. I didn't even know.

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was like about to throw up type ship,

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 1>but like it was on some I like her. Yeah

0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. So yeah, it's just um.

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Over time, we were really cool friends and then um,

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 1>once I became single, then you know, and I actually

0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 1>had to pursue her too, Like she wasn't even on

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:13.919
<v Speaker 1>that when I became single. It took it took me

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 1>about four months actually just to just to get her

0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 1>to like, you know, take me, like, yo, I like you,

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 1>like for real, like I really like you. Some art

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:26.359
<v Speaker 1>I had to put in it. I had to put it.

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I remember I sent her this, uh, this picture of

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a car that's like this close to the wall, and

0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:35.119
<v Speaker 1>I was like, yo, like I'm disclosed, like what's up.

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 1>That's when she agreed. We went out to lunch. We

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>just went out to lunch one time and then we talked.

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:45.880
<v Speaker 1>We were done eating and we talked for a long time,

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and then that's how you know, I was like Okay,

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:50.239
<v Speaker 1>let's do this again. And all of a sudden, now

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:52.480
<v Speaker 1>we're hanging out. Now she's coming by. And then I

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:55.199
<v Speaker 1>didn't know she can cook. Cook cook. I was like,

0:25:55.240 --> 0:25:58.960

<v Speaker 1>so on Netflix, I've leave or again Amazon Prime, Amazon Prime.

0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:09.000

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 1>But just started it yesterday. I didn't get to finish,

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 1>so don't say too much. But I'm not gonna say

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I ain't gonna say nothing else. It's such a great movie. Man.

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 1>If you love love stories, you know, like the one

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>we're just said, you would definitely go Sylvie's Love the

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:34.880
<v Speaker 1>show and serious news, though, the Justice Department officially announces

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:38.960
<v Speaker 1>that they will not charge the cops who murdered Tamar Rice.

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 1>What a way to end, What a way to fucking

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 1>slap us in the face one more time? A state

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:52.679
<v Speaker 1>grand jury decided against and died in a low low man.

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:56.960
<v Speaker 1>He was later fired after it was discovered he was

0:27:57.480 --> 0:28:03.159
<v Speaker 1>previously unfit for duty. The use of force experts hired

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 1>by the family said the shooting was unreasonable. For use

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of force experts who were hired by the local authorities

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:19.280
<v Speaker 1>said the shooting was reasonable. You know, uh, I mean again,

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 1>like to to to our friends who don't understand how

0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:29.959
<v Speaker 1>this feels. This is a normal day in African American household.

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh you know, something happening to us by a law

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>enforcement and then a law enforcement person just getting off

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>like that's a normal day for us. So I think

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:46.640
<v Speaker 1>it's no different. This is a normal day for African Americans.

0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just letting y'all know, the year of twenty twenty

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:54.360
<v Speaker 1>is a normal day in our life. Yeah, folks that

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:57.760
<v Speaker 1>live in uh you know, well well off backgrounds and

0:28:57.800 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. This is how is being black. Okay,

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 1>somebody in the neighborhood dying, somebody getting shot, somebody getting

0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 1>somebody hard house getting broken into, uh, police killing, somebody

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 1>doing this, police doing that. That is a normal day.

0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>That was a normal day for me growing up. Okay,

0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to speak for all of it us,

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:21.560
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna say that's that was a normal year

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:24.800
<v Speaker 1>for me growing up. Is the funked up shit about

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 1>every every year for me growing up was you know,

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 1>damn you know. I hope, I hope we all make

0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 1>it to the to the end of the year, but

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:34.240
<v Speaker 1>it don't never end up like that. That's a normal

0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>day growing up. It's it's so sad because so many

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:48.160
<v Speaker 1>of us are extremely desensitized, you know, It's it's one

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 1>thing to hear it and to say that you're upset

0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:58.600
<v Speaker 1>about it, but that true feeling of shock or hurt

0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:02.920
<v Speaker 1>or disappointment really doesn't hit me that hard anymore. And

0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 1>it's because I'm not surprised this is what I expect

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:14.479
<v Speaker 1>from America, that this is exactly what I expect. Um,

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:16.800
<v Speaker 1>And it's unfortunate, you know that it took the year,

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, where everyone was forced to be in quarantine

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 1>for other races to look and see what is happening

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to us. Um. It's it's hurtful, and you know, I

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:34.120
<v Speaker 1>definitely love and appreciate the people that have really taken

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a stand, you know, with us, people that have become

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:42.000
<v Speaker 1>real allies. It's not enough to be a non black

0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:45.719
<v Speaker 1>person or a non minority and just say I've always

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:49.520
<v Speaker 1>hated racism, I've always hated injustice. It's not enough for

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 1>you to say that. You have to participate in the

0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, fighting against it on a daily basis. When

0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you see something, you have to speak up. You have

0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 1>to have these uncomfortable conversations with your kids about what

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 1>racism is and why it shouldn't exist. Because when you're

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 1>not teaching your kids that young you're allowing the world,

0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the world in society to to teach them, and we don't.

0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:25.840
<v Speaker 1>We Racism needs to die, if flat out needs to die,

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:30.080
<v Speaker 1>privilege needs to be a thing of the past. There

0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 1>has to They have to get rid of this idea

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that helping another group of people reach the same level

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.640
<v Speaker 1>of dignity that you have is not going to take

0:31:42.680 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 1>away from you and what you have. It's not gonna

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 1>make you less successful, it's not going to make you

0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:53.080
<v Speaker 1>less of a person. Why is it that some of

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:58.719
<v Speaker 1>you feel that us having a level playing field diminishes

0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:03.280
<v Speaker 1>who you are? It doesn't, It doesn't at all. If

0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 1>that is a fear that you have, then you are

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 1>knowingly oppressing other people. Then you know, you only got

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:13.240
<v Speaker 1>got that promotion because they wasn't gonna promote that black woman.

0:32:13.760 --> 0:32:17.680
<v Speaker 1>You like, How how do you enjoy life that way?

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 1>It just it doesn't make sense to me, I think

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:27.880
<v Speaker 1>to answer your question, and it's normal, that's normal to them.

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I think, Uh, this this year wasn't a normal year

0:32:32.560 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 1>to a lot, to a vast majority of the public um.

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:40.959
<v Speaker 1>But unfortunately, like if you notice, like man like, some

0:32:41.000 --> 0:32:46.160
<v Speaker 1>people be so insensitive about we're so desensitized or whatever,

0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:48.040
<v Speaker 1>if that, if I can say that word to death

0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:51.760
<v Speaker 1>and stuff people dying to a point where like for

0:32:51.800 --> 0:32:54.120
<v Speaker 1>me growing up, like I haven't been. I've been to

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of funerals, like for real, for real, Like

0:32:57.200 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't even lie to you. One of my best

0:32:58.720 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 1>friends got hit by a car in front of my

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 1>face in eighth grade. Never forget that, been to his

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:08.720
<v Speaker 1>funeral um due to cross the street selling drugs. Shot um,

0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 1>been to his funeral um. One of my partners around

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the corner that stayed out in front from seven drugs

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.720
<v Speaker 1>got set up shots been to his funeral. This is

0:33:17.800 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 1>all in high school for me, like this is and

0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 1>this is never this, It's like never anything. So like

0:33:25.120 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 1>sometimes when people and then you know, I saw King

0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Van pass away. I was outside getting my money outside

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the club and then all of a sudden, I turned

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to the right and I see people fighting. Then I

0:33:37.240 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 1>just see boom boom boom boom came Von falls to

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the ground. That ship sucked me up. I ain't gonna

0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:43.560
<v Speaker 1>lie to you all. And I didn't know it was

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 1>King Von until like the next day because they you know,

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the rumors were like, oh King V he had that

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 1>shot in front of Opium that was a club nightclub

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:55.160
<v Speaker 1>here in Atlanta, But it was happening to be right

0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in front of the club I was leaving, and it

0:33:57.360 --> 0:34:00.160
<v Speaker 1>really it bothered me for a while. But at the

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:02.440
<v Speaker 1>same time, it wasn't the first time I've seen something

0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 1>like that happened, so I actually got over it rather quickly.

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 1>But if it was somebody else who saw that for

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:12.719
<v Speaker 1>the first time, they probably be funked up about it

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:16.640
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. But my thing is, have have

0:34:16.800 --> 0:34:20.840
<v Speaker 1>me seeing that before, like legit and dealing with that

0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:24.279
<v Speaker 1>trauma at a young age, it kind of is just

0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:30.319
<v Speaker 1>like normal. That's one thing that really pisces me off

0:34:30.440 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 1>about all this is, for some reason, people don't think

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:38.560
<v Speaker 1>that black people deal with trauma like they just think

0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:42.840
<v Speaker 1>that we are these wild animals. Keep in mind, we

0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 1>are superhuman, Okay, with everything that black people have had

0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:50.720
<v Speaker 1>penned against them, we are superhuman, that is a fact.

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 1>But we still have trauma. We have things that we

0:34:54.320 --> 0:34:56.440
<v Speaker 1>need to deal with, that we need to heal from.

0:34:56.560 --> 0:35:01.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's so unfortunate that, you know, little Billy Bobe

0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:06.319
<v Speaker 1>can go through something and oh my god, we're We've

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:08.560
<v Speaker 1>got to get him to help. This is so traumatizing. Oh,

0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:12.160
<v Speaker 1>my son, my son. But little black boys and little

0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 1>black girls are constantly at the hands of some type

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of traumatic experience, and no one ever thinks twice about it.

0:35:23.800 --> 0:35:28.800
<v Speaker 1>There's no apology, there's no counseling offered, there's nothing, there's nothing.

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:31.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just like, okay, whatever it happens, but let but

0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:35.360
<v Speaker 1>let the roles the roles be reversed. It's a completely

0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 1>different reaction. I'm telling you. It's a real life grant up.

0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Although while here in Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, New York,

0:35:45.719 --> 0:35:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you ain't even allowed to have guns in New York,

0:35:47.520 --> 0:35:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's still going violence in New York, Like it's

0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a minimum two year sentence in New York, especially California,

0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of course, And of course I'm leaving out other hoods.

0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:00.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, like, in your big metropolitans city, it's

0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the damn Neil war zone and I shouldn't be getting

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:05.879
<v Speaker 1>swept under the rug on the low. Especially Chicago, Man,

0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:09.000
<v Speaker 1>they love it. They love to see us in this

0:36:09.080 --> 0:36:12.319
<v Speaker 1>type of chaos. They love to see us harming each

0:36:12.360 --> 0:36:15.319
<v Speaker 1>other because they know if they help us, if they

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:18.320
<v Speaker 1>give us any type of help and we rise above.

0:36:19.480 --> 0:36:21.400
<v Speaker 1>They already know what we're capable of. Don't get me

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:25.279
<v Speaker 1>started that we'll talk. That's a whole episode. But I

0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:29.080
<v Speaker 1>do agree with you, uh Sue Uh. White silence equals

0:36:29.160 --> 0:36:35.680
<v Speaker 1>violence and ferrari for the world has been what it

0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:38.040
<v Speaker 1>is for black people every day, and that is survival.

0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:42.720
<v Speaker 1>So I definitely agree with Thank you. M. Slavery taught

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 1>us how to survive, not to live. We are not

0:36:47.040 --> 0:36:50.120
<v Speaker 1>truly living. We are in survival mode and we have

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 1>been since the first European step foot on Africa and

0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 1>looted the entire continent. And before we go to the

0:36:57.640 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 1>next thing, I just think that that's what our parents

0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 1>taught us to how to survive. I think in a

0:37:01.719 --> 0:37:04.520
<v Speaker 1>different in different households, they don't teach them that. They

0:37:04.560 --> 0:37:08.520
<v Speaker 1>teach them how to thrive. They teach them about their credit,

0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:11.480
<v Speaker 1>They teach them how to you know, save money. They

0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:15.319
<v Speaker 1>teach them how to earn money. My parents didn't teach

0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:16.960
<v Speaker 1>me or none of that. They taught me a bro,

0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 1>make sure you get you a job, get some health benefits. Motherfucker.

0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:23.640
<v Speaker 1>You see them police officers, God damn you feel me.

0:37:23.719 --> 0:37:26.520
<v Speaker 1>You don't funk with them? You know what I'm saying.

0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:29.160
<v Speaker 1>They pull you over, keep your hands on the stair wheels.

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Matter of fact, on your way home, take your hat off,

0:37:32.680 --> 0:37:34.919
<v Speaker 1>don't be don't if you have a hoodie on, take

0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:37.160
<v Speaker 1>your hoodie off. This is the thing. These are things

0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 1>that's embedded in my head for my parents and my grandma.

0:37:41.320 --> 0:37:44.080
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, When you see a police officer, don't,

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:48.520
<v Speaker 1>don't look them like, don't give them a reason to

0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:53.760
<v Speaker 1>think that you're a criminal. That's things that were taught.

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 1>They're not taught that. They're taught about credit and um,

0:37:59.680 --> 0:38:04.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, building foundational generational wealth. We just started doing

0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:07.200
<v Speaker 1>that with our with our kids. But I would say

0:38:07.239 --> 0:38:08.920
<v Speaker 1>for us, and I don't want to talk about this

0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:12.040
<v Speaker 1>too long because that's a whole another conversation, but we're

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:15.399
<v Speaker 1>the We're the generation that's doing that for the youth now.

0:38:16.480 --> 0:38:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Like I have conversations with my kids that my parents

0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 1>never had with me at their age. I'm talking to

0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:23.560
<v Speaker 1>my twelve year old about what you want to be

0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:26.239
<v Speaker 1>when she grow up. I've never had that conversation with

0:38:26.320 --> 0:38:29.640
<v Speaker 1>my parents. They know, my parents aren't even graduating from

0:38:29.719 --> 0:38:33.160
<v Speaker 1>high school. Dog all they did, all they knew was

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:36.279
<v Speaker 1>get a job and get some health benefits. None of

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:40.319
<v Speaker 1>my parents graduated. My dad had associated arts degree, my

0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:43.280
<v Speaker 1>mom got her g D. My grandma never finished school.

0:38:44.000 --> 0:38:45.800
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. My sisters went to college,

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 1>dropped out. You know what I'm saying. I was the

0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:51.520
<v Speaker 1>first person to get it. But I'm talking to my

0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:54.080
<v Speaker 1>kid and I'm actually the first person in my household

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:57.439
<v Speaker 1>or in my family that followed their dreams. Everybody else

0:38:57.440 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 1>have a job. You know what I'm saying that likewise,

0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:05.279
<v Speaker 1>my kids wanting to follow my dreams. That's what I'm saying.

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:07.840
<v Speaker 1>So my conversation with my kids is different. I'm talking

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to them about my daughter is twelve, but she can draw.

0:39:11.080 --> 0:39:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll be over here like baby, you know, you can

0:39:13.200 --> 0:39:16.880
<v Speaker 1>make like five hundred dollars each saw that she was

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:19.879
<v Speaker 1>over here like what I was like, Yeah, And I'm

0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:22.800
<v Speaker 1>just opening their minds about what do you want to

0:39:22.840 --> 0:39:24.960
<v Speaker 1>be when you grow up? You could be anything you want.

0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I never was told that. And I'm not saying my

0:39:27.640 --> 0:39:29.759
<v Speaker 1>parents did a bad job. I'm just saying they just

0:39:29.760 --> 0:39:32.000
<v Speaker 1>taught me how to survive. They ain't teach me how

0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:34.799
<v Speaker 1>to live my dreams. That ain't that. Ain't how I

0:39:34.840 --> 0:39:38.399
<v Speaker 1>was ready because there wasn't no black president until after

0:39:38.440 --> 0:39:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I was a growing as man. But my kids seeing

0:39:41.800 --> 0:39:44.640
<v Speaker 1>a black president, so they now see that, Oh, I

0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:46.799
<v Speaker 1>could do that if I want to. But when we

0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:50.400
<v Speaker 1>was growing up, ain't these babies early nine, these babies,

0:39:50.760 --> 0:39:54.080
<v Speaker 1>we ain't see no black motherfucker black president. We thought

0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 1>vice president. We thought that ship was impossible. Well, I

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:01.719
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm for. The ship seemed like it was

0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:05.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna it was never gonna happen. But my bad job,

0:40:05.520 --> 0:40:08.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't went on another tangent. Go ahead, It's fine, man.

0:40:08.400 --> 0:40:12.360
<v Speaker 1>We have to pray for the well being of our children,

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know it was well. Let's praying for each

0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:22.520
<v Speaker 1>other and praying for world people worldwide, including Ethiopia. Do

0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:26.400
<v Speaker 1>you have an update for us, Sue? Unfortunately, you guys,

0:40:26.640 --> 0:40:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the war and the tip Ry region of Ethiopia is

0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:33.239
<v Speaker 1>getting worse. UM. I do want to acknowledge before I

0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:39.280
<v Speaker 1>move any further that, Um it is really unfortunately not

0:40:39.480 --> 0:40:44.279
<v Speaker 1>even only happening in the tip Rife region. UM. I

0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:48.120
<v Speaker 1>have to acknowledge what is happening to the people of Rama,

0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the Romans day. The Romans have been at the hands

0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:59.479
<v Speaker 1>of violence for a very long time, a very long time,

0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:05.719
<v Speaker 1>and they are again dealing with what is happening in

0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:09.839
<v Speaker 1>Ethiopia now. If you guys do not know what's going on,

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:14.239
<v Speaker 1>please look at hashtag pray for Ethiopia, hashtag stop war

0:41:14.440 --> 0:41:18.600
<v Speaker 1>on Tigrai. It is a genocide. Ethiopia is officially on

0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the genocide list. The Prime Minister i'd Be is not

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:26.640
<v Speaker 1>allowing for any media coverage into the Tigwai region. There

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:31.120
<v Speaker 1>is no medical supplies, no food, no water, no power.

0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:36.360
<v Speaker 1>There are well over sixty thou refugees that have migrated

0:41:36.360 --> 0:41:40.880
<v Speaker 1>from Ethiopia to Sudan. Sudan is now facing a famine.

0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:48.960
<v Speaker 1>So yes, the people are Tigray are surrounded by devastation.

0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:53.360
<v Speaker 1>There's there's nowhere to go. No matter which direction you

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:57.000
<v Speaker 1>go in. You can't go north to Eritrea because Airitrean

0:41:57.080 --> 0:42:00.520
<v Speaker 1>soldiers are actually killing people on site on the border.

0:42:00.760 --> 0:42:05.439
<v Speaker 1>You cannot cross um air train soldiers are actually they're

0:42:05.440 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 1>actually in the region of ti Ride as well. People

0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:14.719
<v Speaker 1>are being massacred, churches have are being bombed, Pregnant women

0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:19.839
<v Speaker 1>are being cut open. It's it is Rwanda, it is

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:25.839
<v Speaker 1>it is, it is bad Um, it has now been

0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:28.880
<v Speaker 1>over sixty days since I've spoken to my mother. I

0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:31.360
<v Speaker 1>have absolutely no idea where she is. I don't know

0:42:31.400 --> 0:42:33.839
<v Speaker 1>where the rest of my family is either. I don't

0:42:33.920 --> 0:42:38.080
<v Speaker 1>know if she has migrated. I don't know if she's

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:41.439
<v Speaker 1>hiding in the mountains. So I literally have no idea

0:42:41.480 --> 0:42:46.160
<v Speaker 1>where she is. She they as as people of the

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:48.799
<v Speaker 1>tail Life Region. They are not allowed to access their

0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:52.240
<v Speaker 1>bank accounts, so she can't even get her own money

0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:56.319
<v Speaker 1>to help her in any situation. Most people are being

0:42:56.320 --> 0:43:00.480
<v Speaker 1>denied their medication. UM. Doctors have fled the high hospitals

0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:05.680
<v Speaker 1>in the regions. There's nothing there, so, UM, we need support,

0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you know. And it's just it's it's gonna be the

0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:11.959
<v Speaker 1>same thing that I say every week until things start

0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:17.439
<v Speaker 1>to get better. Um. There has been some form of communication,

0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Some communication has been restored in MCLF, but that is

0:43:22.880 --> 0:43:26.360
<v Speaker 1>one area, you know that that's there are thous hundreds

0:43:26.400 --> 0:43:30.719
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of families that are lost. There are seniors

0:43:30.800 --> 0:43:33.160
<v Speaker 1>who were separated from their families, don't know where their

0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:36.880
<v Speaker 1>kids are. Um, they're fending for themselves. There are people

0:43:36.960 --> 0:43:42.000
<v Speaker 1>who refuse to leave certain areas because they think that

0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:44.239
<v Speaker 1>their families will come and meet them there. They're just

0:43:44.320 --> 0:43:48.120
<v Speaker 1>hopeful that a sibling or or any relative will show up.

0:43:48.200 --> 0:43:51.279
<v Speaker 1>So people are Some people are standing their ground in

0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:57.640
<v Speaker 1>pure deserts, you know, starvation, nothing, waiting for a family

0:43:57.680 --> 0:44:01.600
<v Speaker 1>to arrive, and it's just it's not happening. So we

0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:05.879
<v Speaker 1>need to continue the Black Lives Matter movement because if

0:44:05.920 --> 0:44:08.360
<v Speaker 1>black lives matter, then they matter everywhere in the world.

0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:15.000
<v Speaker 1>And unfortunately Prime Minister i'd be is acting as a

0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:18.040
<v Speaker 1>dictator and we have to get him out and we

0:44:18.040 --> 0:44:20.200
<v Speaker 1>have to make sure that he's held accountable for the

0:44:20.239 --> 0:44:23.160
<v Speaker 1>war crimes that he has committed. So we're gonna continue

0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:26.720
<v Speaker 1>to pray for Ethiopia. I will continue to have faith

0:44:26.840 --> 0:44:29.759
<v Speaker 1>that my mom will call me at some point, and

0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe that she will be okay. So as soon

0:44:33.040 --> 0:44:35.920
<v Speaker 1>as I hear that, y'all know, I'm gonna be shouting

0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:40.120
<v Speaker 1>at from the rooftop. So please continue to pray and

0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:43.120
<v Speaker 1>fight and if I just find out what you can do,

0:44:43.280 --> 0:44:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I know it seems difficult, it seems very helpless, but

0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:49.000
<v Speaker 1>sometimes just using your platform to talk about it helps

0:44:49.000 --> 0:44:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to bring awareness to people that would have never known

0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:53.960
<v Speaker 1>about it. Sometimes that's all we need. So pray for

0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:57.720
<v Speaker 1>all of Ethiopia. All of Ethiopia needs peace. But please

0:44:57.760 --> 0:45:01.359
<v Speaker 1>pray for the people of the a more regions and

0:45:01.480 --> 0:45:04.439
<v Speaker 1>the people take that. We'll be right back with more

0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:11.399

<v Speaker 1>hope by the time you watch this episode you ain't

0:46:51.080 --> 0:46:53.680
<v Speaker 1>let him hit that box. You need to work for it.

0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:58.359
<v Speaker 1>You need to pull himself worthy. Okay, I m mrs

0:46:58.400 --> 0:47:02.000
<v Speaker 1>RORI made me wait long if I got a little

0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, A little yummy out, okay,

0:47:07.840 --> 0:47:11.319
<v Speaker 1>a very long time. And uh I sat there and

0:47:11.360 --> 0:47:14.920
<v Speaker 1>waited because I really liked her, and I proved myself. Now,

0:47:15.640 --> 0:47:17.440
<v Speaker 1>if you don't want him to prove himselves, and you

0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:19.120
<v Speaker 1>want to go ahead and let him slide up in there,

0:47:19.160 --> 0:47:21.760
<v Speaker 1>that's cool. That is your vagina. You're a grown person.

0:47:22.360 --> 0:47:26.160
<v Speaker 1>It's okay. Just understand after you let him do that,

0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the expectations, uh, because he didn't prove himself to you,

0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:33.360
<v Speaker 1>so you shouldn't have any expectations. Why should you have

0:47:33.440 --> 0:47:37.160
<v Speaker 1>expectations by with sharing your body with someone that didn't

0:47:37.160 --> 0:47:41.040
<v Speaker 1>prove themselves to you. I understand that sex is not

0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:44.040
<v Speaker 1>going to keep someone okay just because he wants the

0:47:44.160 --> 0:47:46.560
<v Speaker 1>sex and he's making you feel bad for making him way.

0:47:46.920 --> 0:47:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't feel bad about that, girl, don't feel bad about it.

0:47:50.480 --> 0:47:53.400
<v Speaker 1>That is you and your body and you give it

0:47:53.440 --> 0:47:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to who you want to give it to when you

0:47:54.960 --> 0:47:57.279
<v Speaker 1>feel like they made you feel like you want to

0:47:57.320 --> 0:47:59.880
<v Speaker 1>give it to him. And he did that, so he

0:48:00.200 --> 0:48:02.640
<v Speaker 1>to yourself because he ain't gonna do nothing. But he

0:48:02.680 --> 0:48:05.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't quit it, like Rory said, and he probably smashing

0:48:05.360 --> 0:48:10.680
<v Speaker 1>somebody else until you're ready. Keep keep in mind, like guys,

0:48:10.800 --> 0:48:14.160

<v Speaker 1>All right? Uh? Do you have any parting words or

0:48:56.680 --> 0:49:02.719

<v Speaker 1>cat um. I wanted to talk about anxiety before we

0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:10.920
<v Speaker 1>get up out of here. I think a lot of

0:49:10.960 --> 0:49:14.560
<v Speaker 1>people have issues with that. I do. Um, Sometimes our

0:49:14.600 --> 0:49:16.800
<v Speaker 1>anxiety gets the best of us, and we do things

0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and we react in a way that, uh, sometimes we

0:49:20.480 --> 0:49:23.440
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have, like will snap on close friends and relatives

0:49:23.440 --> 0:49:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and um, people we care about, even co workers at work,

0:49:27.360 --> 0:49:31.480
<v Speaker 1>because we have anxiety issues with things that happened outside

0:49:31.480 --> 0:49:36.239
<v Speaker 1>of our normal space. And I think that, uh, I

0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 1>would encourage each person to kind of, you know, explore

0:49:41.680 --> 0:49:44.320
<v Speaker 1>options of speaking to somebody, because I think when people

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:46.560
<v Speaker 1>think that you have a therapist, that you're crazy, You're

0:49:46.560 --> 0:49:50.080
<v Speaker 1>not crazy. It's just someone that's a professional to help

0:49:50.120 --> 0:49:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you channel and set boundaries within yourself so you don't

0:49:54.280 --> 0:49:56.840
<v Speaker 1>slap ship at your co worker, or so you don't

0:49:57.239 --> 0:49:59.560
<v Speaker 1>shoot the whole club up or show you so you

0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:02.520
<v Speaker 1>don't beat your best friend up for doing some dumb ship.

0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I just you know what I'm saying. Or

0:50:04.920 --> 0:50:07.359
<v Speaker 1>you don't snap on people that you care about and

0:50:07.560 --> 0:50:09.799
<v Speaker 1>you hurt people feelings. You know what I'm saying, Because

0:50:09.800 --> 0:50:12.839
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, we're all emotional, and

0:50:13.000 --> 0:50:15.319
<v Speaker 1>you see when people just snap and go crazy and

0:50:15.360 --> 0:50:19.360
<v Speaker 1>just curse everybody out, and that's anxiety issues man anger

0:50:19.480 --> 0:50:23.040
<v Speaker 1>anger management is real. Anxiety is real. I think people

0:50:23.239 --> 0:50:26.759
<v Speaker 1>who should really tap into setting boundaries within themselves and

0:50:27.280 --> 0:50:30.280
<v Speaker 1>channeling that inner peace and be a lot more peaceful

0:50:30.320 --> 0:50:33.319
<v Speaker 1>in the way that you handle conflict. I think a

0:50:33.360 --> 0:50:37.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of times we see it on these reality TV shows,

0:50:38.600 --> 0:50:41.560
<v Speaker 1>they'd be just getting crazy and lick. But I guess

0:50:41.560 --> 0:50:44.240
<v Speaker 1>that's that definitely draws ratings. But at the same time,

0:50:44.680 --> 0:50:47.720
<v Speaker 1>necessarily see five years down the line that that person

0:50:47.760 --> 0:50:50.880
<v Speaker 1>has now grown from that situation and they say I

0:50:50.920 --> 0:50:53.960
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have did that, and they're speaking to a therapist.

0:50:54.360 --> 0:50:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm just letting y'all know it's okay to have anxiety,

0:50:57.960 --> 0:51:00.920
<v Speaker 1>but it's also okay to go speak somebody about that.

0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:09.600
