WEBVTT - Teaching Our Parents

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>There comes a point in your life where you worry

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>about your parents like they're your children.

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:10.400
<v Speaker 2>There is a point in your life where your parents

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 2>become your children.

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>It all started with real talk, unfiltered, honest and straight

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>from the heart. Since then, we've gone on to become

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Webby award winning podcasters in New York Times bestselling authors.

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Dead Ass was more than a podcast for us. It

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 3>was about our growth, a place where we could be vulnerable.

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Be wrong, or but most apportly be us.

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 3>But as we know, life keeps evolving, and so do we,

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 3>and through it all, one thing has never changed.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 5>This is.

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Because we got a lot to talk about.

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 4>Story time.

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:52.040

<v Speaker 1>consider moving down to Georgia?

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 4>He was like, not really, I didn't really think about it.

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>So he and I sat down for about forty five

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>minutes and we went through his whole financial uh plan

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>portfolio and his plan for the next five years, and

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I said, Pops, you know you have enough money to

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>actually buy a home that can be an investment for

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>you and generations to come if you move to Georgia.

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 4>And he was like for real.

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Five days later, my dad put an off friend on

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the house and now my parents are.

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:06.880

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Defending on the episode, Oh absolutely, there's no doubt in

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>my mind.

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 4>So I'm gonna start off with this. See if I notice, Okay, d.

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Man, we're going to make a change. Yeah, it's going

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 2>to make a change. Once in myne this is great.

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:50.920

<v Speaker 2>Winter cold, I never swear disablu.

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 4>Win my mind. No one ever knows those words.

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Every time I forgot what I thought it was.

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 4>It was she don't she just be saying it sounds

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 4>oh as I.

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Always thought it was like as I go to the

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>corner store.

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 4>Going to the corner store.

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you never know, it was all over the place.

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 5>He might have to go to the very Indiana.

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 4>There was no corner store.

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 6>No, it's nothing but corner stores and words corners.

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 7>You know what you was the corner.

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 5>Stood niggas probably Yeah.

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 2>So I wasn't too far off he might have been

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>up in the corner.

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 5>Did we know about the Steel Mills.

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Store? I love it. That's a good one though, making changes.

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:00.839
<v Speaker 4>I closed my eyes.

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 7>I thought, we need to you singing that part right?

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 4>See that? Come on?

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay now, m J two you with the cover J.

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 5>That'd be just as bad as flex this senior the

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 5>Senior years.

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 4>I would never do that to Michael. I ain't gonna

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 4>lie to y'all.

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>When I first watched the movie, I was like, I

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>don't want to see this movie because I love Mike

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>so much that I just said, in my mind there's

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>nobody that can become Michael Jackson.

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 4>And then I watched You Far.

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 2>He was Michael bron He.

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Was Michael Michael. Then then Jamie was Ray. Like when

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 4>I looked at him as I'm.

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 7>Like, ybody anybody got? But I'm not going that far.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 7>Because Jamie had the voice, the movement.

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 4>He danced like Michael.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 7>But he couldn't speak like Michael on the regular.

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 8>That is this conversation impression the person because was Michael.

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 4>That's what Jamie was, absolutely Ray. I'm not saying that

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 4>is better than Mike.

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 7>That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying Jamie was more

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 7>Ray than Jafar as Michael. That's all I'm saying.

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not agreeing with that. The reason why I'm saying

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>that is because it is Ray was known for his voice, right,

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and that right, yes, but Michael is known for dancing

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and did you watch how he became Mike?

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 4>Like it is so there are so many Michael Jackson.

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Impersonal is that when you watch you still say he

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>don't move like Mike Jafar and that that Billy Jean

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>tribute looks just like I'm not disputed he needs to

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 1>win for that.

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.679
<v Speaker 7>Bro, I'm just saying I really adamantly think that Jamie

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 7>tapped into something different to become Ray.

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't argue that because I love Jamie and I

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>love I wouldn't argue that.

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm just want to specify.

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 7>That's the only thing I'm arguing because did an amazing John.

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 4>So how about this? I think it becomes a thing

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 4>where it's like, what do you prefer? Right?

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Because you got Ray, you also got Tina Turner and

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Angela Basset. Nobody became better than anybody like I would never, never,

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 1>not you know what I'm saying, Angela Bassett as Tina Turner.

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not gonna discredit Ray. I would put your

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.679
<v Speaker 1>far up there with them as well, and we can't.

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>We can't discredit j Lo as Selena true because with.

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Life, Yeah, they're kind of all on part man.

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 4>Those those four.

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>For me, I'm just happy somebody did Mike justice, you

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying.

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 8>That's and that's the thing, right, Like you look at

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.160
<v Speaker 8>you watch the movie, and you're not for a second

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:35.679
<v Speaker 8>thinking that this is a bad impression of Mike. You're thinking, like, Okay,

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 8>this guy is impressed like he's Mike.

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Right watching Mike.

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 8>Yes, you know it's not Mike, but his performance isn't

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 8>a distraction to what the story is.

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>So to ask a question, who would you take this,

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Mike or the guy who played Mike in The American

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Dream the Jackson five.

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna take American Dream first, always.

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 1>The story or the guy who played Mike, because I

0:06:58.360 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 1>take the American Dream story.

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:00.600
<v Speaker 4>But I'll take.

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I like that.

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:04.600
<v Speaker 5>I like that.

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 8>I mean they were parts man when he was like

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 8>peoples on my nose an American Dream. Like now I

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 8>feel like I felt like I knew who Michael was

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 8>because American Dream. See, Jafar is just like a.

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 4>Affirming He's reaffirming what I always knew. Like people who

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 4>saw that, I agree with you, bro.

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 1>It was hard for people keep asking me about the movie,

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and all I keep saying is I loved the movie

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>because Jafar did so good as MJ. But when you

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>watch The American Dream and you watch that five part

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>docu series, or.

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 4>It's not even docu series, I don't even know what this.

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 8>Yeh mini series, a limited mini series or something like that.

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I just felt like I got so much in depth

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>information about the whole family that it seemed like it

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>was just a more in depth story. Now we don't

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>know what they had to deal with legally now trying

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to do that movie. So it's unfair to critique, you know,

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>because I don't We've wanted to critique Antoine fu Qua

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 1>as the director because we haven't seen what they had

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>to take.

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Out and this part two coming true.

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 6>But first it was ended at such a weird place.

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 9>But okay, Young Michael, Young Michael and Michael versus Young

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 9>Michael American Dream. I think American Dream Michael Body ye.

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 4>Wasn't Jason Weaver. Jason he did this thing.

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I saw it recently. I was like, Africa, how

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 2>good he was?

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 4>JA was good? And was he really singing?

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.559
<v Speaker 4>I was really singing. That's why to me at Jason

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 4>Weaver gets the nod on that.

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 6>Jason, where is that guy? Is so talented? He's been

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 6>good and everything.

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I think eight episodes on Sister season nine, remember when

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>he was opposite when Cameron was doing that.

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, yes, shout out to Jason.

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Shout out to his mom too for having to wear

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>with I'm so glad that we brought this up a

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>wherewithal for Lion King to turn down the advanced money

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and fight royalty. Yeah, like that's that's like life. His

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>mom is the goat for that.

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 2>This is technically opp.

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 7>The one good thing about Far's performance is that any critics,

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 7>anybody who loved the movie, everybody has the same opinion.

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.320
<v Speaker 7>Far killed. Yeah, it was amazing.

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's going to get nominated, for sure, he has.

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I think after the first day or two of the

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Rotten Tomato score was like twenty seven percent. But I

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>think more and more people are realizing that Rotten Tomato

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.439
<v Speaker 2>is not accurate. It's not the audiences. Yeah, it's so

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>far off sometimes, yeah, so far off. Yeah, all right, cool,

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Well let's take a quick break and we'll be back,

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 2>all right now, all right, So do we actually have

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 2>an opera or no op for today, seeing as though

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>we kind of did an impromptu one.

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 6>We do, And I did have an opera no op

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 6>in my mind because I've been listening to Brandy's memoir

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 6>on audio book and it's really good, okay, and she

0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 6>talks about working with Jason Weaver on the back.

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 4>In Yeah.

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:12.959
<v Speaker 6>And wildly enough, Brandy said that thea was a total

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 6>bitch on the set. You would never know. Yeah, but

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 6>here's my opera. Now, this one is a bit crazy.

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 6>I was on Instagram the other day and I saw

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 6>it was like not really an ad. It kind of

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:34.079
<v Speaker 6>seemed fake, but I couldn't dig out like it looks real.

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 5>So it's a product.

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 6>It's called the Venus Guard, and it's like an insert

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 6>for a woman that she puts in her vagina that

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 6>protects her against sexual assault. It doesn't protect her against

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 6>sexual assault, but if a sexual assault were to occur.

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 5>It would.

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 6>It would damage the man so badly it like attaches

0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 6>to his penis.

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:00.320
<v Speaker 5>He can't take it off.

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 6>Unless he goes to the hospital, and so it preserves

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 6>like evidence of sexual assault so that this person can't

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 6>deny that they did it.

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 5>I think it's insane. Have you ever heard about how

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 5>cats parts work?

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:15.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:22.439
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's like a cat. It's like an apparatus for cats.

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 6>You don't know how cats.

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:27.319
<v Speaker 2>I watched my face.

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm like, bite your joint like a hook.

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Like the male cat has a hook and he

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 6>latches on he like pierces the female once he's inside her,

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 6>so she can't detach.

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Cat.

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.200
<v Speaker 4>So the man got a hook on his joint.

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So that's kind of how the venus guard works.

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 4>This is this is what I think I got.

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.719
<v Speaker 1>If you're not asking and you're trying to take the

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 1>kuda and you get what you deserve.

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Deserve exactly what you deserve, right, Yes, she took the

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.079
<v Speaker 2>guard out for the hospital guy, So it would it

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 2>be something that a woman just wears regularly.

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 5>That's what I'm like.

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 7>I feel like I got something you put in and

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 7>take out because like.

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 6>It's going out to a party and you're like, I

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 6>want to get black down, Like yeah, it's basically essentially

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:26.959
<v Speaker 6>a chastity bell.

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 4>Utility joint.

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:34.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, interested learns something new every day.

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 5>Chill.

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:36.679
<v Speaker 2>I had no idea about.

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 6>That on the flip side of that, because I think

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 6>when it comes to sexual assault and consent, a lot

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 6>of times the onus is on the woman to protect

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:48.080
<v Speaker 6>herself against predators. But I did see another post not

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 6>long after that a man teaches young boys about consent.

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 6>These boys are like seven, eight, nine, ten years old,

0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 6>and he did a demo for them where he's talking

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 6>to a woman and he's like, hey, can I get

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 6>a hug? And she's like no, and then he keeps

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.200
<v Speaker 6>begging her for a hug, and then he asked the boys,

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 6>did that sound like a yes?

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 5>They're like no. So he's teaching them.

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 6>Basically to get an enthusiastic yes. But these are like

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 6>really young boys, So I'm wondering.

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 5>On that.

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.319
<v Speaker 1>I do have an op on that, only because there

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 1>was another thing going around where a woman had made

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.680
<v Speaker 1>a statement that women men don't try anymore and once

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 1>you say no to them, they just walk away.

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 4>And the men were saying, well, what do you want

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 4>us to do?

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.319
<v Speaker 1>And she was like, y'all don't even try to be persuasive,

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 1>which remember when we had this conversation before when I

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>was growing up, A lot of young a lot of

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 1>girls as I got older, told me it was just

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.680
<v Speaker 1>like you didn't work hard enough for it, like I

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 1>had a crush on you, and I'm like, where.

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:46.679
<v Speaker 4>Do we draw the line?

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 2>And that was But when I thought about having four sons,

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 2>how do we advise them when they're in a relationship

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 2>like that or they're trying to pursue someone too much.

0:13:56.080 --> 0:14:00.439
<v Speaker 1>They're going to tell you, They're going to tell you exactly.

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 4>They always going to be the corny kid.

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.719
<v Speaker 1>It don't matter because my father and my uncle is

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the same way. Surety say no, shorty, seem like she's

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 1>not interested.

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 4>Go somewhere else. Because of that, But the narrative about

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 4>what a man.

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Is supposed to do, when you get mixed mixed information

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 1>from people, this is how young men end up in trouble.

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>But this is also how young women end up in trouble,

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>because if you're not teaching young men the right thing,

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and a young woman who doesn't know any better, comes

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 1>across a young man who was taught the wrong way,

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>she's going to start feeling like she was the problem.

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Or realistically, she's not the problem. We have to start

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 1>teaching young men and women what consent looks like.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 6>You know what I'm saying, Yeah, that's what I was

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 6>going to say. Both parties have to learn what is consent.

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 6>Because a woman saying, oh, you don't try hard enough.

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 6>I said no and you're not pushing that is because

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 6>she has learned that, you know what I'm saying, in

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 6>rape culture and not having consent like that, somebody is

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 6>supposed the pushing.

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 5>That is okay.

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 6>Where we should be teaching young women like you have

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 6>to give enthusiastic consent. If you don't give your enthusiastic consent,

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 6>there's no green light. That's not a green light, So

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.640
<v Speaker 6>nobody's going to keep pursuing you, and you're not entitled

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 6>to that.

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 5>And that shouldn't really excite you either unless you have.

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 6>Now in some relationships, you may have consent that a

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 6>no is a green light, but that could be yeah,

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 6>we preconcerned that that. Yeah, not just like a random dude,

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 6>you know, because if I say no to a random

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 6>person and you keep trying, I'm gonna sock you.

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 5>In the face.

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 2>The enthusiastic gifts also should be followed with an enthusiastic no, Yeah, exactly, yes, you.

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 4>Know, and I do.

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I do think people have to be aware that there

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 1>is not one way of teaching people. People are being

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 1>taught different things. So if a young man or a

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>young woman isn't aware, take that opportunity.

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 4>To educate rather than shame, you know.

0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 1>But when I was mentoring young men and women through

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Prototype when they were really really young, and that's when

0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I started to learn, like, y'all really don't know what

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>consent looks like. It's not on one gender or the other.

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Y'all both don't know. Because the young girls were saying

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 1>things that I was just like, you're gonna get yourself

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 1>in trouble saying that. And then young men, I was

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>just like, you can't do that that, Like you just

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 1>cannot do that.

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, wow, no one's really teaching them.

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Because speaking about sex, especially in the Black community, has

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>become so taboo that a lot of parents aren't speaking

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to their kids about sex, you know, Like, I do

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>think that we would have a lot less like rape

0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 1>culture wouldn't be as big of a thing if a

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 1>lot more parents and adults felt comfortable talking to their

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>kids about sex without it being taboo, does.

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Health or sex education classes still happen. I know we

0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 2>had got to sign off on something for Jackson for school,

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 2>but I'm wondering if like across the board, you know,

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 2>having health. I had health in high school, for example,

0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 2>one semester gym.

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I had one semester. They didn't teach consent. They just

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 1>taught reproductive health.

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Protective, right, which is scary.

0:16:58.360 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 5>That is scary.

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 6>I think we did health in sixth grade, seventh grade,

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 6>and tenth grade or something like that, so it was

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 6>like levels of sex education right each.

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I think one should be dedicated to consent though at

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 2>least one, you know, chapter.

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 4>At least.

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it again, my boys is gonna be the

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 1>corny kids. I was the corny kid. My brother Brian

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 1>was the corny We got older, and so many young

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>women when we got older, just like I had to

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.119
<v Speaker 1>crustion on you, but you ain't even really try, And

0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I did try. I asked you if

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you won't go out, and you was like no, So

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't ask somebody.

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 7>Else hard out the window.

0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but I think.

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 6>You also, your sons will also attract the kind of

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 6>people that they are instead of that's true, you know,

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 6>because because they stay true to you know, their values,

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 6>they'll track somebody with the same type.

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 1>About that, because if I had a daughter, I wouldn't

0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.440
<v Speaker 1>play those games neither. I'm I wouldn't tell my daughter

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>that it's cool for you to play the work harder game.

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, you got to have an enthusiastic yes,

0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.439
<v Speaker 1>because if I ask you if something happened and you

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 1>didn't give any enthusiastic yes, now it's the problem for that.

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, man, you know what I'm saying.

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 2>There you go, I agree, all right. Cool, Well, if

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 2>we go back to story time now we're talking about

0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 2>preparing our parents. I was equally shocked when I know

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.879
<v Speaker 2>that my father in law was coming down here to

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.360
<v Speaker 2>visit us like he typically does while de VALA's filming.

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 2>And then after the conversation, Devous like you know, call

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.440
<v Speaker 2>up Curtis Scoop is going to start looking for a house,

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 2>and literally within five days was putting in an offer

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 2>getting it accepted. And It's funny because I spoke to

0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 2>your mom shortly thereafter to kind of gauge how she

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 2>was feeling about it, because I'm just like, man, I'm

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 2>thinking if I were in her shoes and you went

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 2>to visit Jackson and it came home and was like, Babe,

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 2>we moving, I got your house, Like all the emotions

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.640
<v Speaker 2>and the feelings that she would have at one time.

0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.399
<v Speaker 2>But I think because she was so receptive to it

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:50.760
<v Speaker 2>as well, she kind of was just like, you know,

0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 2>it is time. I think it was equally that feeling.

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a change in mindset talking to

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:02.160
<v Speaker 1>your parents and my parents, right, yeah, a lot more lately,

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the biggest change in mindset was both of our parents

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:05.399
<v Speaker 1>lived their.

0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 4>Whole lives for their kids.

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.440
<v Speaker 1>And when I started to ask the parents, like, well,

0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 1>what do you'll have next? Well, the grandkids listening to

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and I said, who whoa, whoa, whoa, We're asking you

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 1>what you want to do for your life. You're adult kids,

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 1>got it. So since your adult kids got this aspect,

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 1>we're asking you what you want. And started asking my

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.080
<v Speaker 1>father what he wants, and your mom and your dad

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and my mom. I realized that once you become a parent,

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:32.199
<v Speaker 1>you forget about yourself. Yes, And I think the biggest

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 1>part about about talking to your parents about what their

0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.680
<v Speaker 1>next phase of life in the twilight years is getting

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.280
<v Speaker 1>them out of the mindset that they're doing everything for

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>their grown kids and grandkids. You know, like you got

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 1>to start doing stuff for yourself, and that starts with health.

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 4>You know, your mom had a heart attack at fifty

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:49.800
<v Speaker 4>fifty four.

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.919
<v Speaker 1>My dad had a really bad diabetes scare in his

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 1>early sixties. Your dad dealt with heart disease, cancer, My

0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 1>mom is inflammation and her family.

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 4>You got to deal with a high blood pressure.

0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like, we have to start with our parents first,

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the health aspect before we get into anything else. Who's

0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 1>your health proxy? Do you have a last will and testament?

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 1>If something happens and you become incapacitated, who is handling

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 1>all of your bills?

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 4>These are the things.

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.360
<v Speaker 1>That we start to sit down and talk to our

0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.760
<v Speaker 1>parents about, and we started to realize that.

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 4>No one in our community prepares us for this, no one.

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 2>My mother's first thing was, I don't have much to

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 2>leave you guys. A little bit I have, we'll just

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 2>go And I'm like, it doesn't matter what little bit

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 2>you have, because when you pass on, then it's trying

0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.359
<v Speaker 2>to pick up the pieces of accessing this account and

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 2>figure out who has access to what It just would

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 2>be so much more difficult. So that's when Devalan and

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I were like, you know, while we're doing our estate

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 2>planning and figuring out our trust and setting all that

0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:50.359
<v Speaker 2>stuff up, how do we then help our parents to

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 2>have their affairs in order? It's no longer a morbid

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 2>conversation that you have anymore. I was wondering, trible, you know,

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.159
<v Speaker 2>since your father passed recently, what was that like for

0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 2>you having to kind of navigate that alongside, like your

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 2>stepmom and family, to make sure that all of his

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 2>affairs were in order.

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 6>It's not over, you know will or he did not

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 6>have a will, but he him and my stepmom had

0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:21.080
<v Speaker 6>been in conversation about what his wishes were and they

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 6>were kind of working on getting you know, their affairs

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 6>in order. So he did at least have some life

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 6>insurance that would cover his funeral, but he didn't have

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:31.639
<v Speaker 6>anything beyond that.

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 5>And then he had.

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.359
<v Speaker 6>Some money set aside so that if anything happened to him,

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 6>my step mom could pay off their house, because he

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:44.719
<v Speaker 6>wanted to leave his house to me and my siblings

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:46.879
<v Speaker 6>when they both passed.

0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:52.439
<v Speaker 5>But even that, like people knowing what he had set aside,

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 5>or people wanting something that really wasn't left to them.

0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 4>Is a problem problem.

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's a huge problem. And I'm like you.

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 6>People always say, like when people die, people show their ass.

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 6>They crazy, and I'm like, what you think? You have

0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:14.240
<v Speaker 6>the best family ever? Everybody so close, everybody gives a fuck,

0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 6>but they really do. They people put empathy and sympathy

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 6>aside and they're like, this is what I want and

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 6>it's what you should do.

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 5>Like, yeah, it just it can get messy.

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:30.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we've seen the same thing on both sides with

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:32.880
<v Speaker 1>messiness with family, especially with deaths. I know your dad

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:34.760
<v Speaker 1>passed away when you was young. Did he have a

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 1>willing testament?

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:39.640
<v Speaker 7>And yeah, everything. My mom talked about everything, so they

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 7>were good to go. I think a major point though,

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 7>that she said is that you even have a life

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.480
<v Speaker 7>insurance policy to cover the funeral. I don't think people

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 7>understand how expensive.

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Funerals Josh, you do your parents talk about that or

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you talk to your parents about it?

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 4>That stuff? They gotta will ask me where it is.

0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Though, under the mattress.

0:22:59.200 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 4>So weird.

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 1>It's funny y'all said that, And how smooth you talked

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 1>about your when your dad passed. When my grandfather passed,

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:09.560
<v Speaker 1>on my dad's side, he had a last will and testament.

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:11.160
<v Speaker 4>He had everything in order.

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 1>It was almost like I watched that side of my

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 1>family not argue about anything because my grandfather was like, Nah,

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:20.359
<v Speaker 1>you get this, you get this, you get this, Troy's

0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna handle this, Debbe, you handle this.

0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:25.080
<v Speaker 4>Make sure that Della has these things. There's no arguments there.

0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>And that's what we did with our parents. I was like, yo,

0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:30.920
<v Speaker 1>when we were going over our last will and testament.

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:32.359
<v Speaker 1>And people think that you got to start doing this

0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:34.680
<v Speaker 1>when you get older or when you become terminally ill.

0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:36.440
<v Speaker 4>No, we are in really good health.

0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Really yes, do it when you're in sound mind, so

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:42.560
<v Speaker 1>you can really have these things go to the people

0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 1>who matter, not when you're under stress or underduress. So

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.359
<v Speaker 1>we started speaking to her parents. Her parents are now

0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:50.679
<v Speaker 1>building out their last will and testament. Our parents are

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 1>doing the same thing. We had them meet with estate

0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:56.400
<v Speaker 1>planners and financial advisors. And this is the crazy part

0:23:56.400 --> 0:24:01.000
<v Speaker 1>about parents for all of you adults. Help parents don't

0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 1>know what they don't know. Like we found out between

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 1>our parents that her parents and my parents both had

0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 1>assets that they didn't know they could access to. And

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:12.920
<v Speaker 1>now we're able to build out the type of life

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:15.679
<v Speaker 1>that they dream they dreamed of, but they didn't know

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 1>that they could get access to those assets. And then

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:20.640
<v Speaker 1>here we come the next generation say hey, mom and dad,

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>did you know you could do this and this and that?

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, wait a minute. So I'm like, so

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:29.360
<v Speaker 1>y'all been living like poor people because you were focused

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>on keeping whatever little assets you had for us. But

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:36.080
<v Speaker 1>we're still working, So how about you utilize that asset

0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:39.159
<v Speaker 1>to grow something else. And then once they started thinking

0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:43.720
<v Speaker 1>like that, because remember their generation never came from that mindset,

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>scarcy mentality, you becoming out of the civil rights movement.

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Black people just wanted to have jobs and get paid adequately.

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:53.080
<v Speaker 1>They wanted to have pensions. You know, they didn't know

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 1>many didn't know about four oh one ks and IRA plans,

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 1>but then those who did put money into it didn't

0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.440
<v Speaker 1>know how to get access to it. So now we're

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 1>looking at out parents and like, y'all had these plans

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:04.440
<v Speaker 1>in all these years, you could have did so much

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>with this money.

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 2>And conversely, sorry, babe, no go finish. And conversely, talking

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 2>about scarcity mentality, my mom and dad, who came up

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 2>here with nothing, have built everything literally from scratch. So

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 2>my mom falls a victim to I see the money

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 2>in my account. I just want to see it there.

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to do anything with it. I don't

0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:23.920
<v Speaker 2>want to gamble with it. I just want to see

0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:25.639
<v Speaker 2>it in that account. So I know that I'll be

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 2>okay because she doesn't want to burden us in her

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 2>later years. You know, I've seen people you have an

0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 2>interaction with at an interaction with the young lady or

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:35.479
<v Speaker 2>older lady rather in dinners the other day and we

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:37.280
<v Speaker 2>were just chatting, you know, how's everything. She's like, good,

0:25:37.320 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm here. You know, I'm gonna go see my grandchildren.

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 2>After this, she said, I'm retired, but you know, things

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 2>got a little tight in retirement, so now I had

0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 2>to come back to work. And I'm like so many Americans,

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 2>because of the economy now find themselves having to go

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 2>back to work in their you know, twilight years where

0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 2>they should just be enjoying themselves, but they have to

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:56.720
<v Speaker 2>go back to make ends meet. And I think that's

0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:59.679
<v Speaker 2>what my mom is seeing lately, and she's afraid about.

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.440
<v Speaker 2>But I say, if you're upfront about what you have,

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:05.280
<v Speaker 2>you have children who are learning more every generation knows

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 2>more than the other. And there's so many different ways

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 2>that you can make your money work for you versus

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 2>sitting and waiting for to pass and then passing that

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:14.159
<v Speaker 2>money on to your children. I said, Mom, we're not

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:15.639
<v Speaker 2>sitting here waiting for you to pass so we can

0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:17.880
<v Speaker 2>have that money. That's not going to do anything for us.

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 2>We rather you utilize those funds to enjoy your life

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 2>and build memories with us, because that's what we're going

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:25.920
<v Speaker 2>to hold on to, which I hope fifty years from

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:26.679
<v Speaker 2>now when you move on.

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:30.679
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's why I was trying to like talk to

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:32.760
<v Speaker 6>my step mom about this, even just with paying the

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 6>house off, Like I know, it's easy to do, and

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:38.119
<v Speaker 6>you've got to have somewhere to live, and she's retired,

0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:40.239
<v Speaker 6>so you know, you want to kind of not have

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:42.119
<v Speaker 6>that bill even though there's still going to be taxes

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 6>and all that stuff.

0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 5>But what you know, what is the best thing to

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 5>do in that situation.

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 1>So I know, the easiest way to pass wealth from

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:55.880
<v Speaker 1>generation to generation is property and land. Right, So take

0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:59.640
<v Speaker 1>take my dad for example. I'm not going to give

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 1>all of his numbers, but say, for example, just to

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 1>give easy numbers, he had five hundred thousand in an IRA.

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 1>My dad smart, He's like, you know what if I

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 1>get seven percent interests on this IRA every year, once

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 1>it goes up, I'm going to pull that money out

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and live off of that interest. But let the five

0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:19.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand sit there so we can continue to work

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:21.680
<v Speaker 1>on its own. And then I said, Dad, how about

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:24.880
<v Speaker 1>you take that money borrow against to get a property.

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Rather than having that interest just pay off your lifestyle,

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:30.240
<v Speaker 1>how about you have that interest pay off your mortgage.

0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 4>So now you have two assets.

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>You have the asset that's growing, but you also have

0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:35.400
<v Speaker 1>this property that can build and grow.

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:37.080
<v Speaker 4>But you also have a place where you can live.

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And if you know that the mortgage is going to

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:41.200
<v Speaker 1>be covered by the interest, now you get to live

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:44.560
<v Speaker 1>mortgage free ultimately. And now you get to pass off

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 1>an asset and property to your kids.

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:49.160
<v Speaker 4>And he was like, I never thought.

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:52.320
<v Speaker 1>About that, And I'm like, that's just one way, you know,

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and there's so many different ways, Like, for example, Kadeen

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and I learned about borrowing against our own assets. When

0:27:57.240 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you own a property and you have equity and a property,

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.439
<v Speaker 1>that's an app It may not be liquid capital, but

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that's an asset you can borrow against to create another business,

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:07.919
<v Speaker 1>to own another property, to help someone else within this

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:11.879
<v Speaker 1>nuclear family live life easier, so that you can work together.

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Our biggest thing is, let's all pool our resources. Your parents,

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 1>my parents, the brothers and the sisters. How much money

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:21.520
<v Speaker 1>are we all making per month? How much assets do

0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 1>we all have? Where are we all living? If we

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.680
<v Speaker 1>all collectively between the nine of us have assets and

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:28.920
<v Speaker 1>we're making money, why are we paying rent to someone

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:30.640
<v Speaker 1>else to fund their dream.

0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Let's put our resources together to buy a house.

0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 1>And then whatever you were going to pay rent, you're

0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna pay to that and now that becomes a part

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:41.480
<v Speaker 1>of our family trust, and that property stays, and as

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you start to make more money, like you know what,

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.480
<v Speaker 1>this house can be paid off. Let's go do it again.

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:48.960
<v Speaker 1>That's what we've done. We've decided to use all of

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 1>our resources between all the work her parents have put together,

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:54.720
<v Speaker 1>all the work my parents have put together. Let's create

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a family trust. Let's get all the assets together, and

0:28:57.720 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>let's find a way for all of us to live

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 1>without paying rent to other people.

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:02.640
<v Speaker 4>That's the first step. And once you can do that,

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:04.480
<v Speaker 4>then you can start to build and save and grow

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 4>it outwardly.

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was really good. I was just listening to

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.160
<v Speaker 2>you as if I hadn't heard the plan before.

0:29:13.680 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 5>Listening to it again, because when you start talking about money,

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:16.320
<v Speaker 5>it'd be like.

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:24.320
<v Speaker 1>The truth is people people like you said your mom our,

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>families generation came from the time where you wanted to

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 1>see your money in an account. You knew you had

0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 1>something because I have it here. When when money is

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 1>not something.

0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 4>To be revered, money is just a tool for you

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 4>to live. And when you.

0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Change your mindset and get the whole ward, let me

0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 1>hoard all the money it becomes. I have this money,

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I have these assets. How can I use these.

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 4>Assets to create more assets?

0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Once you change that mindset in your family, For example, Jackson,

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Jackson just got his birthday money and I just said, yo.

0:29:57.440 --> 0:30:00.960
<v Speaker 1>We were at the closing for Mimi's house and I said,

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:02.600
<v Speaker 1>so you see how much money of your birthday right?

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 4>He said yeah.

0:30:03.360 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I said, do you understand why your grandparents buying this

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:09.320
<v Speaker 1>house helps you? And he was just like not exactly.

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, boom, you're fifteen years old. In about ten

0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 1>years you'll be twenty five. You'll probably be graduated from

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 1>college working somewhere doing something else. Your grandparents now have

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a property that ten years from now may almost be

0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 1>paid off.

0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 4>If your grandparents, safe worst case, are no longer here,

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:28.320
<v Speaker 4>what do you not have? He's like, oh, a place

0:30:28.360 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 4>to live?

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 1>So do you ever have to leave school and go

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>pay rent? No, I can either stay with my grandparents

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:37.240
<v Speaker 1>or take over their property nowaday, And now he's starting

0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 1>to think like that. So now Jackson is not even

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:42.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking about the minute I get out of here, I'm

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 1>going to go rent and live. No, he's thinking, the

0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 1>minute I can make some money, how can I get

0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 1>this back into the trust so that my offspring can

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 1>have the same thing I have.

0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:54.120
<v Speaker 2>And then the conversation continues with reassuring my parents and

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Devour's parents, like, hey, guys, you want to do something

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 2>for your family that makes sense. It's more than just

0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 2>leaving dollars sense. You're leaving an asset that can leverage

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:06.440
<v Speaker 2>so much more for them over time, versus just saying

0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:09.160
<v Speaker 2>here's your portion, here's your percentage, and that money is

0:31:09.240 --> 0:31:11.400
<v Speaker 2>left to anyone's devices to do what they want with it.

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 2>This is a controlled way of us saying these are

0:31:14.800 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 2>the terms within the trust of where things should go,

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:20.400
<v Speaker 2>how funds are allocated, who gets what, so there's no

0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 2>confusion none, no confusion, and.

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Then people get to work their way and pay into

0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the trust. For example, when you have a multi generational

0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 1>family who's all working together, the grandparents shouldn't be working

0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 1>worried about how they are going to make ends meet.

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 1>The grandparents put their down payment on the house, the mortgages,

0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 1>getting covered, taxes may cost things grow, but now you

0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:45.200
<v Speaker 1>have the parents and the grandparents. What we plan on

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>doing is investing in our grandparents or their grandparents, whatever

0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 1>they need in that time. We're going to help them

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:53.440
<v Speaker 1>because all of their assets they're leaving and to go

0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:55.880
<v Speaker 1>to us anyway. So Mom, you want to go do

0:31:55.960 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 1>something extra special, don't worry about it. Vow got it.

0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:02.760
<v Speaker 1>When Cairo gets older and he got a little bit

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:04.800
<v Speaker 1>of extra money and maybe Kay wants to do something

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and we're like we're not working like we used to,

0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Kyro will be like, now I'll cover that. It's an

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 1>investment because everything that we have goes back into the trust.

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 4>So now our boys are growing up realizing that I'm

0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 4>never going to be in a.

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 1>World where I don't have anything. But while I gain stuff.

0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Let me get that back into the trust so that

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 1>my kids have it, you know. So it's just building

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:27.360
<v Speaker 1>that and making sure that they know what the minute

0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:30.520
<v Speaker 1>they are able to understand what finances are. Let's not

0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:33.320
<v Speaker 1>be frivolous. Yeah, let's help those that came. Let's pay

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:34.600
<v Speaker 1>it back, but also pay it forward.

0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:38.200
<v Speaker 2>One of the question questions Dribble had here was what

0:32:38.240 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 2>are some of the things that you realize your parents lack,

0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:42.600
<v Speaker 2>like the knowledge gaps. So some of it is the

0:32:42.600 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 2>dollars and cents and how things can work. But I

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 2>realized with my parents, not so much yours. And I

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:50.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I can classify this as a lack

0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:54.640
<v Speaker 2>of trust per se. It may just be more apprehension

0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:57.480
<v Speaker 2>because of the dealing with the trauma that they've dealt

0:32:57.480 --> 0:33:01.920
<v Speaker 2>with growing up. But I try to explain to both

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:04.160
<v Speaker 2>sets of parents, like, we've been able to build what

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 2>we've built over twenty four years because of the fact

0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 2>that you guys have done the work. You know, both

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:14.280
<v Speaker 2>parents essentially coming from nothing or little. So I had

0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:16.239
<v Speaker 2>to look at my parents at one point and be like,

0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 2>do you guys trust us right? Do you trust that

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:22.280
<v Speaker 2>we have your best interests? At heart. Do you trust

0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:25.920
<v Speaker 2>that we will never allow you to be, you know,

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 2>on the side of a road or having to go

0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:30.800
<v Speaker 2>back words in life pretty much disenfranchised.

0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because some people do take care of the elderly

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:34.040
<v Speaker 4>and their family.

0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 2>And some don't.

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:36.480
<v Speaker 7>You don't and some don't.

0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, so I'm like the love and the revere

0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:42.959
<v Speaker 2>and the respect that we have for our parents granted

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 2>their humans, and they have moments where they annoy both

0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:46.880
<v Speaker 2>of us on either side. It's funny. I was in

0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:49.120
<v Speaker 2>the car with Scoop as he was looking at properties

0:33:49.160 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 2>together and I was pulling houses for him to assist

0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:53.640
<v Speaker 2>with the search. So I jumped in the car with him.

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, Scoop, let's go look at some houses. So

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:57.600
<v Speaker 2>he's excited, jump to the car. We're talking. So at

0:33:57.640 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 2>one point we looked at the house and we were

0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 2>sitting outside waiting to get access to another house, and

0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:04.320
<v Speaker 2>he looked at me and he was like, baby, do

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:07.720
<v Speaker 2>do anything that annoys you? So I was like, why

0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:10.040
<v Speaker 2>you asked that? And he was like, well, no, because

0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:11.399
<v Speaker 2>if I'm gonna be living down here, I don't want

0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:13.399
<v Speaker 2>to you know, roof your feethers and make you feel

0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:18.080
<v Speaker 2>he said, you could be honest with you could tell me,

0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I said, you know, it's goop. There's little things here

0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 2>and there that annoys about everybody. Right, we all have

0:34:22.320 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 2>our insoms, I said, but thank god I have a

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:26.879
<v Speaker 2>set of in laws that I don't have the same

0:34:26.960 --> 0:34:28.879
<v Speaker 2>story a lot of people have where they can't stand

0:34:28.960 --> 0:34:31.960
<v Speaker 2>their in laws. I am sitting here with you, eager

0:34:32.080 --> 0:34:34.440
<v Speaker 2>and excited to help you guys find a house. Did

0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 2>I was filming the whole time, so I was juggling

0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:39.479
<v Speaker 2>two sets of house searches at the same time, two

0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:43.200
<v Speaker 2>sets of realtors. Poor Seawan, our financial advisor, Sean. I

0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 2>told Sean, you can have whatever you like. And I

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:47.440
<v Speaker 2>mean that brother is on record and it's on video.

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:50.520
<v Speaker 2>He can have whatever he wants because he's helping us

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:52.960
<v Speaker 2>to facilitate the process with both sets of parents at

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:55.399
<v Speaker 2>the same time. But just saying all that to say,

0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:58.399
<v Speaker 2>it's we've reached the point now where I think our

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 2>parents are finally like, Okay, I get it, y'all makes sense.

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:04.160
<v Speaker 2>What can you do Because they don't want to think

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:05.960
<v Speaker 2>about their future either. They don't want to have to

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.480
<v Speaker 2>worry about their future stuff. We can help them and

0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:11.160
<v Speaker 2>make it less stressful. Yeah, so I told school, But

0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I appreciate you asking. I said, when you

0:35:12.920 --> 0:35:14.920
<v Speaker 2>get down here, are you gonna replenish my beef patties?

0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Because the valu be looking for his beef patties to.

0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:22.040
<v Speaker 4>A day with two cold champagnes.

0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, bruh, So you're gonna have to drop all

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:27.640
<v Speaker 2>the locations for him to go and re up on stuff.

0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 2>But now it's going to be a blessing to have

0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:30.520
<v Speaker 2>both of them close by.

0:35:30.640 --> 0:35:32.319
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's important for people to realize the

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:35.000
<v Speaker 1>more you can help your parents, it helps you. One

0:35:35.040 --> 0:35:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of my biggest stresses was not knowing how my parents

0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:39.600
<v Speaker 1>were going to vive.

0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, same.

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:42.440
<v Speaker 4>If you look at the world.

0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Now, especially in Trump's America, like the middle class is

0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:48.240
<v Speaker 1>completely obliterated, it does not exist anymore. And you're seeing

0:35:48.239 --> 0:35:50.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot more elderly people having to go back to

0:35:50.440 --> 0:35:53.800
<v Speaker 1>work because their savings, their life savings has been depleted,

0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:56.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to help their adult kids and their grandkids. So

0:35:56.719 --> 0:35:58.719
<v Speaker 1>I used to sit up at night just like wondering, like, dang,

0:35:58.719 --> 0:36:00.439
<v Speaker 1>how could I help my parents get to a point

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:04.720
<v Speaker 1>where they have autonomy over their time and finances?

0:36:04.840 --> 0:36:07.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think sitting down with them and having real

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 4>open conversations about their assets.

0:36:10.000 --> 0:36:11.879
<v Speaker 1>And what they plan to do, we're able to put

0:36:11.920 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 1>us in a place where we could help each other. Yeah,

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, because I know for a fact, as smart

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:20.000
<v Speaker 1>as I think I am with finances, things are going

0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:23.200
<v Speaker 1>to change. AI is going to come coinbases here. There's

0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:25.960
<v Speaker 1>different types of things in Jackson twenty years shrouds like that.

0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 4>We don't do that no more. And I'm going to

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:29.640
<v Speaker 4>have to lean on him and trust that bro.

0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Whatever they figured out at this point helped me because

0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:36.200
<v Speaker 1>me having all these stresses about my kids, my wife

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and then my parents there comes to point out I

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 1>want to be like, yo, I'm not stressing about this

0:36:40.280 --> 0:36:40.760
<v Speaker 1>no more.

0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:44.000
<v Speaker 2>So that's circling back to health. Think about health and

0:36:43.680 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 2>how health and finances are essentially related. Right in having

0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 2>those honest conversations, for example, with my side of family,

0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 2>my mom and dad, my mom got emotional in every conversation,

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I think because she had so much fear surrounding what

0:36:57.560 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the rest of her life was going to look like.

0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 2>And that's just off of what she experienced with her

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:04.040
<v Speaker 2>own mom, for example, or just looking at the way

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:07.480
<v Speaker 2>of the world now, So I think for everyone's health

0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:10.719
<v Speaker 2>and sanity, us included, it was worth it to have

0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:13.319
<v Speaker 2>the conversations to set them up because no longer are

0:37:13.320 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 2>we going to have that hidden stress that eventually can

0:37:16.880 --> 0:37:20.480
<v Speaker 2>make you sick and wear you out, and your lifespan

0:37:20.600 --> 0:37:24.120
<v Speaker 2>can be shortened because you have this concern on your heart. So,

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:26.560
<v Speaker 2>in having those conversations with her, as difficult as some

0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:30.319
<v Speaker 2>of them were, my hope is that she pulls from

0:37:30.320 --> 0:37:32.840
<v Speaker 2>this conversation the fact that she's going to be okay.

0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Dad will be okay. Some of the little bickering that happens.

0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:38.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, guys, let's put things in perspective. My father

0:37:38.960 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 2>had a stroke in September, was diagnosed with heart failure

0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:48.040
<v Speaker 2>in October, cancer in November, treatment January through March, essentially,

0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and that man is making a comeback. Day after day.

0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:55.319
<v Speaker 2>He's getting at least one percent better. So I'm like,

0:37:55.360 --> 0:37:57.040
<v Speaker 2>look at the blessing in that. It's almost like a

0:37:57.080 --> 0:38:00.120
<v Speaker 2>new lease on life. And for me, it's giving me

0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:04.200
<v Speaker 2>the hope and the enthusiasm that if we put care

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:06.480
<v Speaker 2>into our parents and make sure that they live a

0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:10.040
<v Speaker 2>stress free life. As the oldest in the family, they

0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:12.719
<v Speaker 2>can live for another twenty thirty forty years if we

0:38:12.719 --> 0:38:13.200
<v Speaker 2>can have that.

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, I'm glad you doubled back on health because that

0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:19.000
<v Speaker 1>was our biggest thing more than finances. Like she's on

0:38:19.120 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 1>my dad, I hope you know that when you move

0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:23.800
<v Speaker 1>down here, you're gonna be on a completely different lifestyle

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:26.560
<v Speaker 1>because your son don't play no games, and he going

0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:27.200
<v Speaker 1>to be on.

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:28.320
<v Speaker 2>You both all parents.

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:31.759
<v Speaker 1>And I told my dad this, I said, look, you

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:34.319
<v Speaker 1>see the way we travel. You want to be able

0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:37.239
<v Speaker 1>to travel with us, right, Yeah, I'm not going to

0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:41.719
<v Speaker 1>change my son's life because you can't travel a certain way.

0:38:41.800 --> 0:38:43.880
<v Speaker 4>So now my sons have to will.

0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:46.280
<v Speaker 1>You in a wheelchair and take time from our vacations

0:38:46.320 --> 0:38:49.239
<v Speaker 1>because it's unfair to them, especially when you have time

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:52.319
<v Speaker 1>now to fix those things. Now that you have time,

0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:53.839
<v Speaker 1>you're not working every day.

0:38:53.880 --> 0:38:55.160
<v Speaker 4>You need to get health. You need to get out

0:38:55.160 --> 0:38:55.759
<v Speaker 4>and move every day.

0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:57.160
<v Speaker 1>You need to change your diet. You need to cut

0:38:57.200 --> 0:38:59.560
<v Speaker 1>the sugar, you need to cut the dairy. And we've

0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:02.640
<v Speaker 1>been told all the parents that y'all see MEMI has

0:39:02.719 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 1>really like she jumped into that one hundred percent.

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:07.120
<v Speaker 4>She went and got her blood pain work done.

0:39:07.200 --> 0:39:09.640
<v Speaker 1>She plays tennis every day and she's looking like she's

0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:12.759
<v Speaker 1>dropped fifteen years off of her age. The biggest thing

0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:15.040
<v Speaker 1>when you have parents who are getting into retirement is

0:39:15.160 --> 0:39:17.480
<v Speaker 1>make sure that their mind stays active.

0:39:17.520 --> 0:39:19.480
<v Speaker 4>Don't let them sit in that house and just sleep

0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:19.919
<v Speaker 4>all day.

0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:22.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah that's what That was my dad's thing.

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:24.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, he would be in his chair or laying on

0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:26.439
<v Speaker 6>the couch, just sleep all day.

0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:27.640
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's my dad.

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:29.239
<v Speaker 5>And yeah, but.

0:39:29.239 --> 0:39:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Don't it sound amazing when you work your whole life.

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:32.879
<v Speaker 1>It sounds amazing until it ain't.

0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:35.520
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, essentially that's what killed him because he got

0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:36.759
<v Speaker 6>blood clots from doing that.

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:38.279
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:42.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So it's definitely important to make sure and it

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:45.319
<v Speaker 6>does help. Like I was just in Cincinnati. We went

0:39:45.360 --> 0:39:52.960
<v Speaker 6>to see Martin Lawrence shout out, but.

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:56.359
<v Speaker 5>Uh, people kept being like, you need to.

0:39:56.560 --> 0:39:58.759
<v Speaker 6>Be here, you need to move back to Cincinnati, and

0:39:58.800 --> 0:40:05.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, I need a first people. But also it

0:40:05.600 --> 0:40:09.000
<v Speaker 6>is that thing of like being there. As a young person,

0:40:09.040 --> 0:40:10.880
<v Speaker 6>it's a little bit easier to get your parents to

0:40:10.920 --> 0:40:13.400
<v Speaker 6>move around, it is, and to convince them to like

0:40:13.520 --> 0:40:14.320
<v Speaker 6>get the hell.

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:16.080
<v Speaker 5>Up or just be like, oh, we should go do

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:16.520
<v Speaker 5>this thing.

0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:18.319
<v Speaker 6>You want to spend time with me because my my

0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 6>mom and my step mom be thirsty for my attention,

0:40:25.120 --> 0:40:27.279
<v Speaker 6>so if I was there, it would be easier to

0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:30.080
<v Speaker 6>get them to be active and just like out and about,

0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:31.600
<v Speaker 6>so that'll be helpful.

0:40:34.120 --> 0:40:38.120
<v Speaker 4>We take that for granted too, Like I see it now.

0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:40.280
<v Speaker 1>When you're a kid, you be tired of your parents,

0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 1>so you want to be out of their presence because

0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:44.440
<v Speaker 1>they always checking you on something to fix this, fix that.

0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Then you become an adult and you forget that your

0:40:47.040 --> 0:40:50.359
<v Speaker 1>parents have dedicated their whole life to you. So now

0:40:50.480 --> 0:40:53.040
<v Speaker 1>like even my dad bro hit me and my mom

0:40:53.160 --> 0:40:54.719
<v Speaker 1>like I called you, and I'm like, I know y'all

0:40:54.719 --> 0:40:56.879
<v Speaker 1>called me. You bothered me about stuff. And then I'm

0:40:56.880 --> 0:40:59.560
<v Speaker 1>realizing now when Jackson don't call me when he first

0:40:59.560 --> 0:41:02.200
<v Speaker 1>get out of something, I'll be like, dude, right, I

0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:04.239
<v Speaker 1>was waiting here all day to see how your game was,

0:41:04.719 --> 0:41:06.359
<v Speaker 1>and he was like, Dad, the game ended ten minutes.

0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:10.640
<v Speaker 4>That's ten minutes you could have been telling me my

0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:12.000
<v Speaker 4>mom like yo, or.

0:41:11.920 --> 0:41:13.640
<v Speaker 2>When they coming from school and we may be in

0:41:13.680 --> 0:41:15.279
<v Speaker 2>a different part of the house and it's just like, yo,

0:41:15.280 --> 0:41:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you've been home for like thirty minutes. You didn't come

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 2>check me and come say yeah, weird you know, yeah.

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I realized that now, like with them being here, I

0:41:24.440 --> 0:41:26.239
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure that they know like your kids

0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:29.280
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you. Ya, I love you everything that you've done. Yes,

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 1>And we're not gonna let you, you know, be disenfranchised.

0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:34.400
<v Speaker 1>We ain't gonna let people take advantage in you. Because

0:41:34.400 --> 0:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>here's another thing too, and understanding your parents' business. Did

0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:39.600
<v Speaker 1>you see the lady in Brooklyn who they tried to

0:41:39.600 --> 0:41:43.080
<v Speaker 1>come in and take her house, your house that paid.

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Off somebody like, oh, this is not I.

0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:48.319
<v Speaker 1>Think she was an elderly woman who didn't pay like

0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a water bill or something, and it went delinquent and

0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:53.440
<v Speaker 1>they put a lean on the house and then someone

0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:55.640
<v Speaker 1>went and paid the bill and then claimed the oldership

0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:57.480
<v Speaker 1>of the deed. This is only things they do in

0:41:57.520 --> 0:41:59.800
<v Speaker 1>New York for certain people and we're not allowed to

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about. But then they took access on her.

0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:05.719
<v Speaker 7>Talk about it, We talk about that.

0:42:06.120 --> 0:42:08.560
<v Speaker 4>You know who did that last time Kanye did that?

0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 4>What we're not going to.

0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:13.040
<v Speaker 8>Say who was because you can't because you know, he

0:42:13.080 --> 0:42:15.080
<v Speaker 8>said it literally the next sentence.

0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 4>But I'm not saying it. I know we'll be taking

0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:19.400
<v Speaker 4>these houses, yeah, from all.

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:21.640
<v Speaker 2>And literally they probably clock everything and be like, oh,

0:42:21.840 --> 0:42:23.680
<v Speaker 2>it's one day over. It's the linquid. There goes the

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:25.400
<v Speaker 2>lean there was and there goes the.

0:42:25.440 --> 0:42:28.439
<v Speaker 1>D And now she was fighting and they arrested her

0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:30.479
<v Speaker 1>for fighting for her mom's house.

0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:34.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, and Mamdani came.

0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 7>In and he finally put somebody in over in place

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:38.440
<v Speaker 7>for that office.

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:40.680
<v Speaker 4>So they can't just going in just just do.

0:42:40.960 --> 0:42:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Some people don't realize and they've been snatching people's home

0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:45.759
<v Speaker 1>and like they can't legally snatch your home like that.

0:42:46.360 --> 0:42:48.040
<v Speaker 1>But that's why it's important for you to know what

0:42:48.120 --> 0:42:50.000
<v Speaker 1>your elderly parents are going through.

0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:52.160
<v Speaker 8>Decade years.

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:53.480
<v Speaker 5>Get over there too.

0:42:53.520 --> 0:42:57.480
<v Speaker 6>That's the whole Yeah, my god.

0:42:57.600 --> 0:42:59.959
<v Speaker 4>They're doing it everywhere. They're just snatching people.

0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:02.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it is there.

0:43:02.080 --> 0:43:07.279
<v Speaker 2>It's like, all right, Columbus, chill out. You know what

<v Speaker 2>y'all for the past few years now, and I truly

<v Speaker 2>admire how you all move in your marriage, with your kids,

0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:07.239
<v Speaker 2>your careers, and how both of you are bosses in

0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:09.880
<v Speaker 2>your own lane. Thank you and only y'all. Don't put

0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:13.480
<v Speaker 2>all your business out there, but what you decide to

0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:15.840
<v Speaker 2>share with us as such an inspiration. Thank you for

0:44:15.880 --> 0:44:19.399
<v Speaker 2>your transparency and your insight. With that being said, please help.

0:44:19.719 --> 0:44:22.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm twenty six years old and I'm looking for love.

0:44:22.760 --> 0:44:24.399
<v Speaker 2>I want to have a family one day, but even

0:44:24.440 --> 0:44:27.120
<v Speaker 2>outside of that, I desire a partner that I can

0:44:27.160 --> 0:44:30.240
<v Speaker 2>do life with. However, finding that has been a struggle.

0:44:30.560 --> 0:44:32.200
<v Speaker 2>A lot of the men I come across are very

0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:35.760
<v Speaker 2>passive in terms of leadership, or instead of leading the relationship,

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:39.000
<v Speaker 2>setting the tone, making decisions, and I find myself getting

0:44:39.000 --> 0:44:41.919
<v Speaker 2>in the habit of doing it myself because I'm used

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:44.520
<v Speaker 2>to being in that get it done mentality when it

0:44:44.560 --> 0:44:47.759
<v Speaker 2>comes to myself, and it can trickle over into dating too.

0:44:48.480 --> 0:44:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I know nobody's perfect, and I don't want to feel

0:44:50.719 --> 0:44:53.120
<v Speaker 2>like I have to spoon feed someone through every stage

0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:55.480
<v Speaker 2>of our relationship. I just want to be a girl

0:44:55.719 --> 0:44:59.239
<v Speaker 2>and not trying to wear the pants a lot of Also,

0:44:59.320 --> 0:45:01.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of guys I come across are kind of lackluster.

0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:04.200
<v Speaker 2>They don't really have a plan for their life and

0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:08.520
<v Speaker 2>are kind of just coasting by, which doesn't really mesh

0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:11.080
<v Speaker 2>with me because I'm always looking for ways to grow

0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:13.880
<v Speaker 2>and improve myself as a woman, and I'm always making

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:16.960
<v Speaker 2>moves with the idea of the type of life I

0:45:17.000 --> 0:45:19.560
<v Speaker 2>want in mind that I should but you should though.

0:45:19.719 --> 0:45:19.959
<v Speaker 5>Yep.

0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:22.719
<v Speaker 2>Basically, i feel like I'm a bit of in a conundrum.

0:45:23.080 --> 0:45:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to settle, but I have looked and

0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I've searched, and the right one seems hard to find.

0:45:28.560 --> 0:45:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to be patient. I'm trying not to see

0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:34.360
<v Speaker 2>myself as the problem. I know I'm relatively young, but

0:45:34.560 --> 0:45:37.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel like this is a desire that I've wanted

0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:39.320
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, and I'm ready to see it happen.

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:42.880

0:45:42.920 --> 0:45:46.200

<v Speaker 4>Awesome Memphis.

0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I've only been there for Saint Jude in and out, really,

0:45:58.239 --> 0:45:59.239
<v Speaker 2>but I haven't been out a helm.

0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:02.280
<v Speaker 7>Just in the taxi ride on the way to Jewish.

0:46:02.760 --> 0:46:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah all right, I forgot you me.

0:46:04.760 --> 0:46:07.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Memphis was rough. Even when we went to that mall.

0:46:08.560 --> 0:46:10.640
<v Speaker 4>I remember he was like, Yo, what y'all doing here?

0:46:10.719 --> 0:46:11.360
<v Speaker 2>We had to grasp.

0:46:13.800 --> 0:46:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:17.239
<v Speaker 1>They were just like y'all here by y'allself, and we

0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:18.880
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, y'all should have got I was like,

0:46:18.960 --> 0:46:19.560
<v Speaker 1>let's get out of here.

0:46:19.560 --> 0:46:22.799
<v Speaker 6>But I see the guy, Sergeant Caroline Mason from First

0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:24.720
<v Speaker 6>forty eight to escort y'all around the city?

0:46:25.920 --> 0:46:26.560
<v Speaker 4>Did that?

0:46:26.920 --> 0:46:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Have I seen that first forty eight?

0:46:28.560 --> 0:46:32.000
<v Speaker 6>She's she's a black female detective that beyond first forty eight?

0:46:32.600 --> 0:46:38.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, I love my crime show here. It was yeah, girl, when.

0:46:38.760 --> 0:46:41.080
<v Speaker 8>The local celebrity is a detective.

0:46:40.640 --> 0:46:45.520
<v Speaker 2>That you know exactly, So I guess I'll work my

0:46:45.520 --> 0:46:47.680
<v Speaker 2>way back KNI seeing it as a star. How do

0:46:47.719 --> 0:46:49.719
<v Speaker 2>you trust the balance to submit? This man has had

0:46:49.719 --> 0:46:52.520
<v Speaker 2>a plan since day one, I guess to your point

0:46:52.560 --> 0:46:54.279
<v Speaker 2>where you feel like some people are or some men

0:46:54.320 --> 0:46:56.600
<v Speaker 2>for example, are not coming with a plan. So that

0:46:56.719 --> 0:47:00.160
<v Speaker 2>always was a very di visionary. He always had an

0:47:00.200 --> 0:47:02.040
<v Speaker 2>idea of what he wanted his life to look like.

0:47:02.160 --> 0:47:04.520
<v Speaker 2>And finding each other as early as we did. I mean,

0:47:04.520 --> 0:47:06.319
<v Speaker 2>you're twenty six and we started dating when we were

0:47:06.320 --> 0:47:08.799
<v Speaker 2>in college at eighteen. It was easy for me to

0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:10.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of inbound with him because I'm like, oh, this

0:47:10.920 --> 0:47:12.920
<v Speaker 2>is a guy who has a plan. I'm someone who

0:47:13.000 --> 0:47:15.239
<v Speaker 2>craves a plan, has a plan of my own, and

0:47:15.280 --> 0:47:17.200
<v Speaker 2>it just felt easier to do it together. And that's

0:47:17.200 --> 0:47:19.319
<v Speaker 2>how we were able to build. That's in part two

0:47:19.320 --> 0:47:22.319
<v Speaker 2>why you know we're not opposed to people meeting each

0:47:22.320 --> 0:47:24.759
<v Speaker 2>other early on, like in college, for example, because at

0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:28.400
<v Speaker 2>that point you're still green enough to not be impacted

0:47:28.400 --> 0:47:31.600
<v Speaker 2>by too much as happening in your social surroundings, which

0:47:31.600 --> 0:47:34.520
<v Speaker 2>I get can be a bit I guess it's different

0:47:34.520 --> 0:47:36.560
<v Speaker 2>now with social media. We didn't have as much. We

0:47:36.600 --> 0:47:38.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't have social media when we first met, so that's

0:47:38.520 --> 0:47:42.080
<v Speaker 2>not an added distraction, but meeting someone that early on

0:47:42.120 --> 0:47:44.040
<v Speaker 2>when you're kind of green enough to kind of mold

0:47:44.280 --> 0:47:46.640
<v Speaker 2>with each other and grow together. Though we did have

0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:50.319
<v Speaker 2>our own struggles with individuality early on, I think the

0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:53.200
<v Speaker 2>common goal of growing together was something that I locked

0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:55.759
<v Speaker 2>into because I saw that Deval had an idea of

0:47:55.760 --> 0:47:57.239
<v Speaker 2>what he wanted his life to look like, and we

0:47:57.239 --> 0:47:59.280
<v Speaker 2>were able to do it together. So I'm easily able

0:47:59.320 --> 0:48:04.040
<v Speaker 2>to submit. Also because submit sounds a bit. It sounds

0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:05.680
<v Speaker 2>a bit what's the word I'm looking for?

0:48:05.800 --> 0:48:07.200
<v Speaker 4>People get mad she submits?

0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:10.640
<v Speaker 2>No, I submit, But it has the bad connotation. People

0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:13.160
<v Speaker 2>think it means like I'm voiceless in this relationship, and

0:48:13.200 --> 0:48:13.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not.

0:48:13.640 --> 0:48:14.880
<v Speaker 4>And that's that I'm empowered.

0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:17.440
<v Speaker 1>That is the point, though, the point is that social

0:48:17.480 --> 0:48:20.959
<v Speaker 1>media has created a thing where submission is just seen

0:48:21.000 --> 0:48:23.240
<v Speaker 1>as ultra negative. And I'll tell y'all a quick story

0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been filming. I told okay Yo, don't wait to

0:48:27.040 --> 0:48:29.040
<v Speaker 1>go looking at any houses until May first.

0:48:29.400 --> 0:48:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh, this is a good story, I said, Jones, don't

0:48:32.640 --> 0:48:34.120
<v Speaker 2>go look until May first.

0:48:34.360 --> 0:48:35.840
<v Speaker 4>It's now the last week of April.

0:48:35.880 --> 0:48:38.920
<v Speaker 2>What does my wife do preliminary searching, goes and.

0:48:38.840 --> 0:48:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Looks at houses. Right, puts in an offer. Right, puts

0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in the offer. Got everybody running through, jumping the hoops.

0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:46.879
<v Speaker 1>You try to get the offer is long story short,

0:48:46.920 --> 0:48:49.600
<v Speaker 1>we don't get the house. Wow, this is the perfect house.

0:48:49.600 --> 0:48:51.560
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe this is working with this and no, no, no, no,

0:48:51.560 --> 0:48:55.920
<v Speaker 4>no no thing May first comes around, house holds up

0:48:55.920 --> 0:48:56.960
<v Speaker 4>on the market.

0:48:57.239 --> 0:49:02.239
<v Speaker 2>No, no, literally two a m May first. Arian is like, girl,

0:49:02.280 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 2>we have to see this house first thing in the morning.

0:49:05.320 --> 0:49:06.040
<v Speaker 4>And what happens?

0:49:06.280 --> 0:49:10.480
<v Speaker 2>That was the house and we want to offer and

0:49:10.600 --> 0:49:11.440
<v Speaker 2>we're under contract.

0:49:11.520 --> 0:49:14.480
<v Speaker 1>The reason why I tell the story is because when

0:49:14.520 --> 0:49:16.759
<v Speaker 1>I say submit, I don't say submit so that I

0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:17.560
<v Speaker 1>get what I want.

0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:20.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying submit so that you get what you want.

0:49:20.760 --> 0:49:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let me put in order so that you, as

0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:26.359
<v Speaker 1>my wife, get all the things in life that you want.

0:49:26.400 --> 0:49:27.960
<v Speaker 1>And if you just submit for a little bit and

0:49:28.000 --> 0:49:29.279
<v Speaker 1>just be patient, you can get it.

0:49:29.840 --> 0:49:30.959
<v Speaker 4>And so said, so done.

0:49:30.960 --> 0:49:33.840
<v Speaker 1>So that's the problem is when you listen to everybody else,

0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:36.520
<v Speaker 1>everybody else is going to give you reasons why you

0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:39.359
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't do. But with the person you want to build

0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:41.160
<v Speaker 1>life with, what they want to do. They don't just

0:49:41.160 --> 0:49:41.759
<v Speaker 1>do that too women.

0:49:41.760 --> 0:49:43.879
<v Speaker 2>They do that to mental and guess what happened. If

0:49:43.920 --> 0:49:45.880
<v Speaker 2>you have a good person around, you're a good friend,

0:49:46.400 --> 0:49:48.920
<v Speaker 2>they will then tell you the truth. So, for example,

0:49:49.360 --> 0:49:51.160
<v Speaker 2>after the valance, I had this back and forth. He's like,

0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm here filming people calling me about finances, this, that,

0:49:53.400 --> 0:49:55.480
<v Speaker 2>and the third. So I expressed to Arian, my good

0:49:55.520 --> 0:49:57.440
<v Speaker 2>friend in realtor, like, girl, I should have waited till

0:49:57.440 --> 0:49:59.160
<v Speaker 2>May first. She said, actually you should have. She said,

0:49:59.160 --> 0:50:00.640
<v Speaker 2>you should have listen to your hous man. That's what

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:03.320
<v Speaker 2>we're supposed to do, she said, And then she literally

0:50:03.360 --> 0:50:05.200
<v Speaker 2>was like, had you been obedient to him, we probably

0:50:05.200 --> 0:50:10.799
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be going through this. We're doing all. Yeah, that's

0:50:10.880 --> 0:50:12.920
<v Speaker 2>literally what she said. She's like, now we're going to

0:50:12.960 --> 0:50:14.840
<v Speaker 2>listen to that and we're gonna wait till May first.

0:50:15.040 --> 0:50:20.000
<v Speaker 2>But baby, simultaneously she was searching at midnight on May first,

0:50:20.440 --> 0:50:22.520
<v Speaker 2>and at two am the house became available, and she

0:50:22.680 --> 0:50:26.000
<v Speaker 2>was like, this is even further confirmation. So thank you

0:50:26.040 --> 0:50:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Arian for holding me accountable in that and being the

0:50:28.000 --> 0:50:29.440
<v Speaker 2>friend that told me something I did not want to

0:50:29.440 --> 0:50:30.080
<v Speaker 2>hear in that moment.

0:50:30.200 --> 0:50:32.680
<v Speaker 1>And this is the truth, though, when people are trying

0:50:32.680 --> 0:50:34.399
<v Speaker 1>to build out their lives, they got to stop listening

0:50:34.440 --> 0:50:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to everybody. Listen to yourself, bro, because you know what

0:50:37.480 --> 0:50:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you want, and since you know what you want, I'm

0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:41.799
<v Speaker 1>going to listen to the person that's deciding that I

0:50:41.880 --> 0:50:43.680
<v Speaker 1>want this. Yeah, So if we're going to be in

0:50:43.719 --> 0:50:46.000
<v Speaker 1>life together, I know this. I said this before in

0:50:46.040 --> 0:50:49.000
<v Speaker 1>another podcast, but I no longer pledge allegiance to my gender.

0:50:49.480 --> 0:50:51.719
<v Speaker 1>I pledge allegiance to the person that I'm building life with,

0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:53.719
<v Speaker 1>which means, if my wife wants this, if I can

0:50:53.719 --> 0:50:55.840
<v Speaker 1>find a way to get it, I'm going to hustle

0:50:55.880 --> 0:50:56.560
<v Speaker 1>my ass off to.

0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:58.560
<v Speaker 4>Go get it. The same way if she's.

0:50:58.400 --> 0:51:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Just like if my husband says I gotta be paid,

0:51:00.160 --> 0:51:02.520
<v Speaker 1>but he gonna go get it, she gonna submit and

0:51:02.239 --> 0:51:05.880
<v Speaker 1>be patient. The problem is you called to pick me

0:51:06.640 --> 0:51:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm called a simp, and that's fine to the

0:51:09.840 --> 0:51:13.680
<v Speaker 1>rest of social media, But you know what I'm saying,

0:51:14.000 --> 0:51:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's what she needs to realize.

0:51:16.560 --> 0:51:20.000
<v Speaker 4>Figure out what you want out of life, and stop listening.

0:51:19.640 --> 0:51:22.799
<v Speaker 1>To everybody else, because everybody else is gonna do what

0:51:22.920 --> 0:51:25.080
<v Speaker 1>they want to do for their life, even if it

0:51:25.120 --> 0:51:28.319
<v Speaker 1>goes against all the things they say they would never do.

0:51:28.800 --> 0:51:32.480
<v Speaker 1>We watch it all the time with celebrities, right, they

0:51:32.520 --> 0:51:36.680
<v Speaker 1>sing songs about not needing a man, they sing songs

0:51:36.680 --> 0:51:40.120
<v Speaker 1>about money over bitches, fuck these holes, and them saying

0:51:40.120 --> 0:51:41.160
<v Speaker 1>celebrities is married.

0:51:42.719 --> 0:51:45.800
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying. So we all.

0:51:45.680 --> 0:51:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Got to stop listening to what other people and saying,

0:51:47.760 --> 0:51:50.640
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I want this, I'm gonna go and

0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go get this and I'm gonna get this

0:51:52.520 --> 0:51:54.239
<v Speaker 1>by any means necessary.

0:51:53.800 --> 0:51:56.560
<v Speaker 4>With the person that values me the way I value that.

0:51:58.360 --> 0:52:01.080
<v Speaker 6>Just had an aha moment, like when we talk about

0:52:01.080 --> 0:52:05.000
<v Speaker 6>submission as a woman, like in this young lady's situation,

0:52:05.440 --> 0:52:08.399
<v Speaker 6>as a woman, you can do everything that it takes

0:52:08.400 --> 0:52:10.759
<v Speaker 6>to take care of yourself, yes, but in a relationship

0:52:10.800 --> 0:52:13.319
<v Speaker 6>you want to submit to collaborate with another person. Yes.

0:52:13.560 --> 0:52:15.600
<v Speaker 6>And I think young men are also having the same

0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:20.160
<v Speaker 6>problem where they don't want to express their ability to

0:52:20.200 --> 0:52:22.840
<v Speaker 6>be a leader or provider until they see that a

0:52:22.880 --> 0:52:26.160
<v Speaker 6>woman is willing to do what they want instead of

0:52:26.200 --> 0:52:28.239
<v Speaker 6>submitting to collaborate with her as well.

0:52:28.360 --> 0:52:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that is yeah, now you see how you said that, right,

0:52:31.880 --> 0:52:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Me and Kate did all of those things at a

0:52:33.840 --> 0:52:34.279
<v Speaker 1>young age.

0:52:34.280 --> 0:52:36.319
<v Speaker 4>And you know what, people said, yeah, we was wrong

0:52:36.400 --> 0:52:36.799
<v Speaker 4>for doing that.

0:52:36.880 --> 0:52:39.000
<v Speaker 5>I know watched that all the time.

0:52:39.040 --> 0:52:42.120
<v Speaker 6>But I think it's just because Kadeen in these conversations

0:52:42.120 --> 0:52:44.880
<v Speaker 6>that we have, like in posts on social media, Kadeen,

0:52:44.920 --> 0:52:46.799
<v Speaker 6>it's kind of just like yeah, you know, she's kind

0:52:46.800 --> 0:52:50.000
<v Speaker 6>of easy going about it, and Deval is like, you know,

0:52:50.280 --> 0:52:55.400
<v Speaker 6>like yeah, this is the way he talks more about it,

0:52:55.880 --> 0:52:58.239
<v Speaker 6>about what he wants and what you know, what, how

0:52:58.320 --> 0:53:02.400
<v Speaker 6>the marriage is going to Kadeen, it's like, yeah, listen

0:53:02.400 --> 0:53:03.080
<v Speaker 6>to the whole story.

0:53:04.560 --> 0:53:06.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, everything that went behind it.

0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:09.440
<v Speaker 1>And this was before social media. Our parents were not

0:53:09.640 --> 0:53:12.279
<v Speaker 1>all in on us being involved in each other. Now

0:53:13.080 --> 0:53:15.239
<v Speaker 1>that's why I don't get upset when people be like, nah,

0:53:15.239 --> 0:53:17.759
<v Speaker 1>this shit ain't gonna work or now that's never when

0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:20.760
<v Speaker 1>your parents are telling you like nah, y'all going too fast,

0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you got to start realizing that this is not this

0:53:23.239 --> 0:53:25.839
<v Speaker 1>is not the norm, This is an anomaly. So when

0:53:25.840 --> 0:53:29.200
<v Speaker 1>people challenge or question your lifestyle, you can't get offended

0:53:29.239 --> 0:53:31.600
<v Speaker 1>by it. You got to try your best to help

0:53:31.640 --> 0:53:33.680
<v Speaker 1>them see it. And if they can't see it, then okay,

0:53:33.719 --> 0:53:35.880
<v Speaker 1>you can't see it. But I'm also not going to

0:53:36.000 --> 0:53:38.640
<v Speaker 1>change my lifestyle to make y'all feel comfortable with the

0:53:38.719 --> 0:53:41.160
<v Speaker 1>rhetoric that y'all sitting on on speaking.

0:53:40.840 --> 0:53:41.520
<v Speaker 4>On social media.

0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:43.239
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, I know what worked for me,

0:53:43.840 --> 0:53:47.239
<v Speaker 1>and I know that finding a woman that did all

0:53:47.280 --> 0:53:49.440
<v Speaker 1>of the things that a wife is supposed to do

0:53:49.480 --> 0:53:51.799
<v Speaker 1>when we were eighteen without me asking was not a

0:53:51.800 --> 0:53:52.520
<v Speaker 1>red flag for me.

0:53:53.320 --> 0:53:56.840
<v Speaker 4>I knew that me giving my resources and paying for things.

0:53:56.640 --> 0:53:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Even though we weren't married, maybe a red flag to

0:53:58.960 --> 0:54:01.520
<v Speaker 1>some dudes, but it wasn't a red flag for her.

0:54:01.840 --> 0:54:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Or I'm saying Deval being like, Yo, this is what

0:54:03.800 --> 0:54:05.400
<v Speaker 2>we're going to do because I think we should do X,

0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:07.520
<v Speaker 2>y Z. That could have been a red flag, Like, oh,

0:54:07.520 --> 0:54:09.200
<v Speaker 2>he's trying to tell me what to do and you

0:54:09.280 --> 0:54:11.200
<v Speaker 2>think he know everything and I know what we should

0:54:11.239 --> 0:54:12.640
<v Speaker 2>do too, And I was just seeing that, all right, Well,

0:54:12.640 --> 0:54:15.120
<v Speaker 2>if you're better equipping this moment, you have an idea, sure,

0:54:15.160 --> 0:54:16.880
<v Speaker 2>let's let's do it together and see how it goes.

0:54:17.120 --> 0:54:19.800
<v Speaker 2>And then by proving himself with the success rate that

0:54:19.840 --> 0:54:21.359
<v Speaker 2>we've had, I was like, oh, he does know something

0:54:21.360 --> 0:54:23.920
<v Speaker 2>about something. Okay, cool. You know I felt more comfortable

0:54:23.920 --> 0:54:25.799
<v Speaker 2>at that point now saying we should try this, and

0:54:25.800 --> 0:54:26.760
<v Speaker 2>then we talk about.

0:54:26.520 --> 0:54:28.920
<v Speaker 1>It and tell the truth. Weren't the people in your

0:54:28.920 --> 0:54:30.920
<v Speaker 1>corner telling you I was controlling?

0:54:31.160 --> 0:54:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there were people saying the same thing too.

0:54:32.680 --> 0:54:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and my corner telling me she was controlling. She

0:54:35.120 --> 0:54:36.680
<v Speaker 1>got you doing all of this stuff, Bro, I would

0:54:36.719 --> 0:54:39.359
<v Speaker 1>never do that. And I just started to realize, like, well,

0:54:39.480 --> 0:54:42.799
<v Speaker 1>she's not asking you, right, she's asking me. And since

0:54:42.840 --> 0:54:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind doing that, why is it a problem?

0:54:45.880 --> 0:54:46.080
<v Speaker 7>Right?

0:54:47.640 --> 0:54:47.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:54:47.840 --> 0:54:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Why are we so offended? You know what I'm saying,

0:54:49.719 --> 0:54:52.439
<v Speaker 2>just because you wouldn't do it exactly? You're projecting because

0:54:52.440 --> 0:54:54.200
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't do it, or you're not equipped to do it,

0:54:54.280 --> 0:54:55.200
<v Speaker 2>and that's a you problem.

0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And that's what I hope she realizes because she's

0:54:58.800 --> 0:55:00.839
<v Speaker 1>looking I don't want her to look, look at the

0:55:00.920 --> 0:55:04.120
<v Speaker 1>scheme of everything and saying, well, is what I'm asking

0:55:04.120 --> 0:55:07.000
<v Speaker 1>for too much? As a woman, No, you just got

0:55:07.040 --> 0:55:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to ask the right person. I can look at you

0:55:09.200 --> 0:55:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and say I want to be for her all the

0:55:11.960 --> 0:55:14.680
<v Speaker 1>things she requires and a man exactly. And once you

0:55:14.800 --> 0:55:18.080
<v Speaker 1>find that, for everybody else, act because they're all going

0:55:18.160 --> 0:55:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to say that y'all.

0:55:18.760 --> 0:55:21.239
<v Speaker 4>Doing too much for each other. Right when it works.

0:55:20.960 --> 0:55:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Out, you know, there you go, girlfriend, hope that helps, Yeah,

0:55:25.400 --> 0:55:27.560
<v Speaker 2>for sure. All right, if you want to be featured

0:55:27.560 --> 0:55:30.440
<v Speaker 2>at a listener as a listener letter this season, email

0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:33.400
<v Speaker 2>us at the Ellisadvice at gmail dot com.

0:55:33.480 --> 0:55:34.239
<v Speaker 4>That's t H.

0:55:34.200 --> 0:55:37.200
<v Speaker 1>E E L L I S A d V I

0:55:37.280 --> 0:55:39.719
<v Speaker 1>C E at gmail dot com.

0:55:39.760 --> 0:55:44.000
<v Speaker 2>All right. Moment of true time preparing our parents. I

0:55:44.000 --> 0:55:46.640
<v Speaker 2>think mine for today is just looking at the intersection

0:55:46.719 --> 0:55:49.640
<v Speaker 2>between health and finances and well planning as well. So

0:55:49.680 --> 0:55:53.800
<v Speaker 2>it's like a three way how planning, how conversations about

0:55:53.840 --> 0:55:57.279
<v Speaker 2>finance setting your parents up for success can essentially help

0:55:57.360 --> 0:56:01.200
<v Speaker 2>everyone's health, calm everyone's nerve, kind of give a check

0:56:01.280 --> 0:56:04.360
<v Speaker 2>and balances, and it allows everyone to feel comfortable because

0:56:04.400 --> 0:56:08.200
<v Speaker 2>building memories, especially at this phase in life, is probably paramount,

0:56:08.239 --> 0:56:10.680
<v Speaker 2>at least for me, seeing that we're in the middle

0:56:10.719 --> 0:56:14.359
<v Speaker 2>of this intergenerational family situation that we have going on here.

0:56:14.400 --> 0:56:18.680
<v Speaker 2>We have great grandparents still alive, grandparents us, our children,

0:56:18.840 --> 0:56:21.560
<v Speaker 2>and then with extended family eventually you never know, maybe

0:56:21.600 --> 0:56:25.000
<v Speaker 2>they'll be great great grandchildren coming along. So that's my

0:56:25.080 --> 0:56:26.000
<v Speaker 2>moment of truth for the day.

0:56:26.880 --> 0:56:28.320
<v Speaker 4>My moment of truth is very simple.

0:56:28.320 --> 0:56:33.359
<v Speaker 1>We have a fiduciary responsibility to help our parents into

0:56:33.400 --> 0:56:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the twilight of their life.

0:56:34.920 --> 0:56:36.800
<v Speaker 4>And if you're smart enough to help your parents, it

0:56:36.840 --> 0:56:39.040
<v Speaker 4>will help your children period.

0:56:40.160 --> 0:56:43.440
<v Speaker 7>Matt, My moment of truth is that I need to

0:56:43.480 --> 0:56:54.680
<v Speaker 7>learn how to spell fiduciary all the time. It's easy.

0:56:55.320 --> 0:56:56.919
<v Speaker 7>I need to have a conversation with the VOWE about

0:56:56.920 --> 0:56:57.520
<v Speaker 7>trust planning.

0:56:58.000 --> 0:57:00.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, that's honest. You know what about it?

0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:02.520
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, talk about it for sure, and my MoMA,

0:57:02.600 --> 0:57:04.040
<v Speaker 5>the truth is f I d.

0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:09.400
<v Speaker 4>You you now.

0:57:09.480 --> 0:57:10.799
<v Speaker 8>My moment of truth is I got a lot of

0:57:10.800 --> 0:57:12.640
<v Speaker 8>work to do with my parents as well. Like listening

0:57:12.640 --> 0:57:16.440
<v Speaker 8>to this conversation and hearing all the planning you're doing

0:57:16.440 --> 0:57:19.320
<v Speaker 8>with your parents, it's a little eye opening for satity

0:57:19.360 --> 0:57:20.160
<v Speaker 8>to take with my parents.

0:57:20.160 --> 0:57:23.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's that's what before we share we learned. We're

0:57:23.320 --> 0:57:23.920
<v Speaker 2>still learning too.

0:57:24.040 --> 0:57:24.720
<v Speaker 4>We're still learning.

0:57:25.120 --> 0:57:26.760
<v Speaker 2>That's our hope for anyone listening today.

0:57:27.000 --> 0:57:28.880
<v Speaker 7>I know my mother listening, so shout out to shout

0:57:28.880 --> 0:57:32.400
<v Speaker 7>out to you. Yeah, yeah, making sure my father was

0:57:32.440 --> 0:57:33.760
<v Speaker 7>on top of stuff because he didn't want to have

0:57:33.760 --> 0:57:36.640
<v Speaker 7>those conversations. Why why you being so morbid? Right like

0:57:36.720 --> 0:57:38.040
<v Speaker 7>Bro's you gotta have this.

0:57:38.040 --> 0:57:40.959
<v Speaker 1>Conversation, shout out to miss Yeah, your mom does seem

0:57:41.000 --> 0:57:41.680
<v Speaker 1>like she.

0:57:41.400 --> 0:57:42.560
<v Speaker 2>She got it.

0:57:42.600 --> 0:57:46.040
<v Speaker 4>In order insightful les. She sees stuff like she has foresight.

0:57:46.400 --> 0:57:49.080
<v Speaker 7>Even the fact that she's still in New York's foresight.

0:57:49.200 --> 0:57:52.400
<v Speaker 7>She like, this is my mother quote if I moved

0:57:52.400 --> 0:57:55.640
<v Speaker 7>to the South, I'm moving there to die. Like what

0:57:56.560 --> 0:57:58.840
<v Speaker 7>she wants to stand in jump on the train and

0:57:59.000 --> 0:58:01.920
<v Speaker 7>walk through the activity you want to keep? Get it?

0:58:02.600 --> 0:58:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean in New York you don't have to curate

0:58:04.040 --> 0:58:04.400
<v Speaker 2>that life.

0:58:04.440 --> 0:58:10.960
<v Speaker 7>You have to depend on things. She has activities.

0:58:11.160 --> 0:58:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And to say that to say, like your dad,

0:58:13.560 --> 0:58:16.400
<v Speaker 2>it's funny because there's like space in the basements of

0:58:16.440 --> 0:58:19.280
<v Speaker 2>both homes that can be built out to be certain spaces,

0:58:19.600 --> 0:58:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and Scoop is like, I want a movie room so

0:58:21.400 --> 0:58:23.160
<v Speaker 2>I can watch my movies. And my mother was like,

0:58:23.360 --> 0:58:24.960
<v Speaker 2>I want a wellness room so I can work out.

0:58:25.400 --> 0:58:28.880
<v Speaker 2>You see where the priorities lie from both SUPs of parents, right, So, yeah,

0:58:29.160 --> 0:58:31.680
<v Speaker 2>that took to your point, like your mom already knows

0:58:31.720 --> 0:58:33.760
<v Speaker 2>that she has a built in lifestyle that will sustain

0:58:33.840 --> 0:58:36.280
<v Speaker 2>her for the rest of the time. All right, trips,
