1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: You really know nothing about nothing if you haven't traveled.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: That is a fact. And Baby, I want to know

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,800

Speaker 2: dead ass.

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 3: It all started with real talk, unfiltered, honest and straight

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 3: from the heart. Since then, we've gone on to become

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 3: Webby award winning podcasters in New York Times bestselling authors.

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: Dead Ass was more than a podcast for us. It

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: was about our growth, a place where we could be vulnerable.

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: Be wraw or but most apportly be us.

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: But as we know, life keeps evolving and so do we,

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: and through it all, one thing has never changed. This

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 2: because we got a lot to talk about, So.

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 4: Quick story time, Right. Kadeena and I went.

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: To Dubai year yes for my birthday last December, and

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: where it was.

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: It was a stressful trip, in part because because you

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: hear all of these things from people about things you

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: have to be concerned about when you go to Dubai. Right,

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: don't kiss your partner, don't hold hands, don't stand next

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: to each other, don't take no marijuana.

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Don't drink no alcohol, don't be loud.

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 3: It was like a whole bunch of dons don't don'ts

24
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 3: when you get there, stand in a straight line, and

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 3: the minute we land in Dubai, it was nothing like

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: anything anyone told us about.

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely not the coolest place as long as you have decorum,

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: when you conduct yourself like facts, a law abiding citizen, right,

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: because I'm sure there's a place for people who don't

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: follow the.

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 3: Rules, absolutely, but even that place doesn't even exist like

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: it exists here.

33
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: But what it just taught me in those moments, and

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: we'll talk.

35
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: A little bit about it when we come back, but

36
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: what it taught me to was to never listen to

37
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: people who've never traveled about what the world is. Everything

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: we think we know about the rest of the world

39
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: we've learned through the American gaze, and you can't trust it.

40
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: Can't karaoke time. I had a really good song prepared,

41

00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 7: Okay, So I think Davao sent this. Somebody sent this

66
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 7: video in the group chat about white vacationers. Van Jones

67
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 7: recently made his video and this was the most poignant

68
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 7: piece of information I've ever received.

69
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 7: But he was talking about Travis Kelce being the latest

71
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 7: of the white vacationers, which is just like a white

72
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 7: celebrity who got famous off of their like blackfish thing.

73
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 7: So Travis Kelsey was wearing his fade. He had a

74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 7: bunch of black girlfriends. He had to chain the lingo,

75
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 7: the black scent, everything right up, and now he's yeah.

76
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 7: So so Van Jones was saying, after they do this,

77
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 7: you know, vacation in blackness, then they go back to

78
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 7: their white selves and then they get super rich. So

79
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 7: now try as Kelsey is about to marry Taylor Swift,

80
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 7: richest white woman.

81
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 5: On the planet.

82
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 7: Some other famous white vacationers he mentioned were Post Malone, obviously,

83
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 7: Miley Cyrus, who.

84
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: After coming to our side, made some comments like that

85
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: music isn't good for us or something like that.

86
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, Malone said the same thing. They both did.

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then Justin Bieber, who is a common flip flopper,

88
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 7: he's about.

89
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: To say he's on a parly vacation, comes back to

90
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: that consistently.

91
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: There is crazy, so he's invested in some way.

92
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 7: Okay, So all of those celebrities, they came up and

93
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 7: you know, really a lot after they got done with

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 7: their black culture vacation.

95
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 5: So oper no op about these white vacationers.

96
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 4: That has been happened a long time. Yeah, start with Elvis. Wow,

97
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: I'm just being honest.

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: He came in and stole rock and roll thole the hip,

99
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: stole the moves, sat down, listened to blues artists tell

100
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: their stories, got engulfed in the culture, then went back

101
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: and then just became Elvis And it was like he's

102
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: the greatest thing since sliced bread.

103
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 4: You know. All he did was just take.

104
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: Our culture and not duplicated and replicated or put his twist.

105
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: This has been going on like this is for a

106
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: long time American history.

107
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, speaking of vacation in Jamaica, I

108
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: was there recently in Portland area and I saw Diplos

109
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: spot that he had. Yeah, we like passed it, and

110
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: I was trying to find a way to jump the

111
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: gate or get in because have you seen the spread

112
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: of the place that he loves Jamaica so much? And

113
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: I think it was like, yeah, he's a DJ and

114
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: he built this oasis in Portland. That was like yes,

115
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: and it is absolutely insane.

116
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: And was his gate bet he did the same thing. Yeah, essentially,

117
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know the DJ.

118
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: I'm asking like.

119
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he's in his circles. But

120

Speaker 2: I just heard vacation and I heard white people and

121
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,400

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 4: Was a hard cut.

123
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 6: I didn't realize you didn't know.

124
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,320

00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: why I say.

161
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: I don't get it for for people who despise us

162
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: so much right to always.

163
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: Come over here, emulate what we do and then go

164
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: back over here.

165
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: And speak about like Miley Cyrus' comments and what's the

166
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: post Malone's comments really rubbed me.

167
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: The wrong way out of pocket because you came here and.

168
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: Built your whole aura off of us, and.

169
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: Then afterwards to go back and talk bad about the

170
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: culture you built your aura off of. I feel a

171
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: way about it. I do, I really, really do, and

172
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: that bothers me. I really talk about huh, That's why

173
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: I didn't mention him. I'm talking about in general, the whole.

174
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: Idea that you could take from the people.

175
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 4: But then that's why I brought up.

176
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: Elvis, because I mean, Elvis build his whole legacy off

177
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: of stealing, literally stealing.

178
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 6: And they purposely do it. They do it.

179
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, we got the source, you know what I'm saying.

180
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 7: And that's I think that's where the white vacation or

181
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 7: thing even comes from, is because they know we got

182
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 7: the sauce and they trying to be somebody. They trying

183
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 7: to get their own sauce, but they got to come

184
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 7: do what we do because that's how they learn how

185
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 7: to have a personality.

186
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: I guess that's the thing that bothers me too, when

187
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: when something that was inherently ours gets named theirs. For example,

188
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: I think it was Kim k had the corn Rolls

189
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: and they called them the Kim Rolls or something.

190
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 4: At one point I was like, oh, you will rename it.

191
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: Or even the Travis Kilsi a fade and the beard

192
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 3: has called the Travis Kilta since when I've had that

193
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, like like you know what I'm saying, it's.

194
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: Just like you just take it, freedoms to it, even this.

195
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 5: They're Columbus in it. That's a really good point.

196
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 7: It's it is almost like how Diplo goes to Jamaica

197
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 7: and builds an oasis. Did you know that Jamaica they

198
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 7: have all of this coastline, but there's only like eight

199
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 7: miles that is publicly accessible.

200
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 5: Jamaican people absolutely absolute.

201
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 7: But yeah, it is like white vacationers going to build

202
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 7: a resort on a beach that they're not from, you know,

203
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 7: and they still they get to keep that.

204
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I met her last weekend.

205
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up. But that's that's it's

206
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: actually a perfect analogy. But they understand, like why do

207
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: black people get upset? We get upset because you come

208
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 3: to our place take up space in a way we

209
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: can't even take up space.

210
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Then you leave, and we still can't even take up

211
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: that space.

212
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: When you're going because now you're won't own it and

213
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: won't even allow us to take up that space. That's

214
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 3: actually a perfect analogy, and why the black vacation That

215
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 3: makes sense because if you come from an island and

216
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: most people don't come from island, so they don't know.

217
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: But I know this from traveling and listening to your family.

218
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: When you come from an island and then people come

219
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: in and inhabit the island and take up everything from

220
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 3: the island, and then you're forced to feel like a

221
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: visitor and the own place, the only place that you

222
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: call home, you build resentment to. And unless you've gone

223
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: through that, you're not gonna know what that feels like.

224
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: That's a fact. And unless you are someone who is,

225
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: for example, a white person that comes and owns half

226
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: of the coastline of Montego Bay, like this woman that

227
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: I met, Michelle Rollins, she gives so much back to

228
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: the island and creates so much many opportunities for people

229
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: out there. So it's like, at least if you're no,

230
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: she's not a vacation er, she's actually like invested in

231
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: the betterment of Jamaica. So you know, you take the

232
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: good with the bad. But a lot of times with

233
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: these vacationers, you see, it's more so about what they

234
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: can gain Jamaica.

235
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 8: You know, I love you, but you got to get

236
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 8: way more that coastline back, Yeah, I mean getting back,

237
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 8: giving back to the local school. But giving the coastline back.

238
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 8: I mean, people fish, they feed their families. They want

239
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 8: to go to vacations as well.

240
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely, they want to travel country for sure. It is

241
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: for sure.

242
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: We met and now were in Jamaica like three years

243
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: ago Treasure Beach.

244
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 9: Remember what we had to go through to get to

245
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 9: that private beach. We had to go to that old

246
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 9: people's house walking down the hills.

247
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 8: Word, Yo, it wasn't It wasn't like direct access to

248
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 8: the beach. It was like you got to go through

249
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 8: private property. And thankfully that private property was abandoned so

250
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 8: we could actually do that. But it was a former

251
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 8: resort that we had to like scurry behind and like

252
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 8: go to a private beach. You know what I'm saying.

253
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 8: Not that we went to a beach by ourselves. We

254
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 8: didn't do that, uh us on the trip. But you

255
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 8: want to make that Josh, every.

256
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 6: Y'all learned all about his mind.

257
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 4: True.

258
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: I used to think that your mind was the worst

259
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 3: his mind nobody.

260
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 8: But somebody might be driving in Carlos the beach together.

261
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 4: Yo, these niggas going to the beach together. Bro some

262
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 4: wrong right, a mess? No idea.

263
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: If we traveled but.

264
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, the point is that Jamaica do better. Man, Government

266
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: We got to get some of that back man, Absolutely hilarious.

267
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 3: That's not for them. We wasn't just as a beach

268
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: just me and Matt by ourselves. There was a third

269
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: person with us that can confirm that it wasn't just

270
00:12:53,640 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: me and math. That was the longest pause ever. He

271
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: could have just been like we was at the beach together.

272
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 4: Pause.

273
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 8: You know, you know why I'm driving in my car

274
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,959

00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: Now you're throwing tread.

279
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,800

Speaker 2: very strngy.

304
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,600

307
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely, the alternative is crazy.

308
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: I know, it's crazy. It's like two and three flights

309
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: to get there. And it's like, guys, if you want

310
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: tourism to boom a little bit with Sandel's being there

311
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: now and it just being an amazing place to get away,

312
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I'm so excited, So just throw that

315
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: I'm glad we actually transitioned from Jamaica because part of

316
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: my storytime was understanding the narratives about countries, right, because

317
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: he and I looking to go to Jamaica last year

318
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: leading into the New Year, and Jamaica was on the

319
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: travel advisory for America, and Kadena is like, why why.

320
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 4: Is Jamaica on the travel advisory?

321
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: So she calls her people in the government and they

322
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: get back to us and they're like, Gene, there's nothing

323
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: happening here.

324
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: Everything is.

325
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: But that was just another example to show how when

326
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 3: you look at everything through the American gaze, right, and

327
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: every everything you get from their news cycle or their

328
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: version of TikTok or whatever it is, you're going to

329
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: get what they want you to know. You have to travel.

330
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: We traveled to Jamaica multiple times since the travel advisory

331
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: and there was nothing wrong. Same thing when we went

332
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: to Dubai, you know, And I just I really want

333
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 3: people to understand that everything you watch, whether it's your phone,

334
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: your computer, or the television, is all being like filtered

335
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: and curated through someone else's idea of what the world

336
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: is supposed to look like. And if you think about

337
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: it like that, you will want to travel more so

338
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: that you can learn more about the world.

339
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: Who has their passport? Everybody here have their passports.

340
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, passport crazy.

341
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: Because yeah, because it's interesting. I've encountered adults who are

342
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: just like, I've never left the country, never left, don't

343
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: even have a passport, And I'm always like, Okay, I

344
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: understand that everyone's financial abilities are different and they allow

345
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: them certain opportunities or not, but it never crossed my

346
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: mind that people have just never left the country, whether

347
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: it was for work or for vacation or something. And

348
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a comfort zone. Some people

349
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: have said they've been scared to go certain you know

350
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: why because of that.

351
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: But we just talked about the news.

352
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, fairly.

353
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: The news is bombs in the Middle East, and my

354
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: advisory don't go to Jamaica. Don't go ahead because of

355
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: tornadoes and hurricanes. You're like, I'm just stay in America

356
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: where it's peaceful and perfect. And that's what they think.

357
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, who went to Saudi Arabia recently and our idea,

358
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: especially growing.

359
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 4: Up, I want to go to Arabia?

360
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: Would you ever want to go to Saudi Arabia? And

361
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: could not true on a magic carpet, but I couldn't

362
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: think that.

363
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: I never thought because I was also programmed too. What

364
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 3: do you think how we grew up in the Middle East?

365
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 3: We thought anything in the Middle East or wars? Yeah,

366
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 3: you know, And I learned going to Madrid with Jackson.

367
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 4: Do you know what they think about America?

368
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: We was in Madrid for a Gellect campaign and I

369
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: was trying to, you know, get some stuff done, and

370
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, can you help me.

371
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 4: I don't speak Spanish.

372
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: They're like flu and I'm like, you know, America and

373
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 3: they're like, oh America bang bang, schools bang.

374
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 4: And I'm like wow.

375
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 3: So the world looks at us and they look at

376
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: us as the country where our kids go to school

377
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 3: and get shot up. And I'm like, dang, could you imagine,

378
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 3: like think about how we false advertise everything that goes

379
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 3: on in the rest of the world.

380
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 4: What the world thinks about us?

381
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: No, it's true. One of my castmates was in Italy,

382
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: I think recently, and she said that this one particular

383
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: gelato shop that she went into. The woman was just like,

384
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 2: like clearly like rude, just like very rude. She had

385
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: her credit card and the woman was like, they don't

386
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: take credit card, they take cash. So whoever was behind

387
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: the counter with the woman must have said to her like, hey,

388
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: you know, there's like an atm around the corner, and

389
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: he spoke better English, and so went around the corner

390
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: and she got the cash. So she said at this

391
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: point she wasn't even ready to patron the business because

392
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: sis had an attitude and she's like, I'm not doing that.

393
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: But then she was like, you know what I want

394
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: the gelato, let me go get it. And she got

395
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: the cash and came back with it, and then she

396
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: looked at her and she was just like, oh, you

397
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 2: got cash, and she was like yeah. And then she

398
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: said you're from America and she said yes. And then

399
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: she said you voted for Trump in plain English and

400
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: she was like, actually no, because none of them we

401
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: don't like that nigga, know how, like none of us

402
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: like him. And she was like, oh, okay, okay, and

403
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: then she was like black people don't. We don't like him,

404
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: like he's not for us. So when she saw she

405
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 2: was an American and spoke English. She instantly was just

406
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: treating her, oh, you know, treating her in a rude

407
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: manner until she realized, okay, she's coming to patron the business.

408
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: You went and got the cash, and then found out

409
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: that she didn't vote for Trump or she wasn't a

410
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: trump'sup porter, and then she softened to her a bit

411
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: and she actually apologize and was watching I'm so sorry.

412
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: So I've heard about an uptick as well in Italy

413
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 2: of just racism in general towards blacks. And I don't

414
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: know if it's just towards blacks or if it's towards

415
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 2: Americans at all, because we haven't been, but I heard

416
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: stories from a couple of friends who have gone this

417
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: summer and they were like, we actually didn't have a

418
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: good time out there because we felt the racism.

419
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 5: I've heard that a lot about Italy specifically. Yeah.

420
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I as a black person, I'm not in a

421
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 7: rush to go to Europe. I haven't been yet, but

422
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 7: I've been to Africa several times. I've been to Caribbean

423
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 7: islands several times. I really am not in a rush

424
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 7: to go to Italy, where anti black racism was born.

425
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

426
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 7: I don't think that, and especially as an American, I

427
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 7: feel like every country kind of looks down on us

428
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 7: now after this whole trenh. Yeah. I was in South

429
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 7: Africa right after Trump got elected the first time, and

430
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 7: that's all anybody wanted to talk about. And even in

431
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 7: the place where apartheid was legal until nineteen ninety four,

432
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 7: they think that we have a bigger problem with racism,

433
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 7: and especially after that elected and they were like, wow,

434
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 7: over there, ain't it. I'm like, talking to a white

435
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 7: South African You're telling me it's here, we are.

436
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up, because people don't, especially Americans,

437
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 3: don't realize that there are people who are watching us

438
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 3: the same way we watch every country, and we feel

439
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 3: like we should police and politics every country. There are

440
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 3: people watching us, and how the world views us right

441
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: now is not in the best light.

442
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 6: I don't think they've ever viewed us in the best

443
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 6: light though.

444
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 4: True.

445
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, they've I think for the large part

446
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: I've heard, at least from like family who lives abroad.

447
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: They intend to think that Americans are arrogant, that we

448
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: know everything, that we're better than you know, every other country,

449
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 2: every other power.

450
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 6: That's the number one thing American arrogance, right.

451
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: Or we're expecting everyone to speak English when you go

452
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: to their country. It's like I can't go to Japan

453
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: and expect for them to be fluent in English.

454
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: Americans do, though, but absolutely do. We absolutely do.

455
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 4: A sub sect of Americans do.

456
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, because there are Americans that know a bunch of

457
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: languages who travel a lot. But yeah, but the average

458
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: American won't know the language but will travel with the

459
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 3: arrogance like I'm an American, you should, you know, convert to

460
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: whatever it is I need.

461
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 4: That is very true.

462
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, And there's so many things that you can do

463
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 7: to at least know some conversational especially if you're going

464
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 7: to another place that has a Germanic language or a

465
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 7: Romance language likely Spain, Germany, anywhere in Europe. Really there's

466
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 7: it's some easy things you can do to learn a

467
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 7: couple of words so that you can communicate.

468
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 5: But most people won't even do that, right, They just

469
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 5: don't get They just talk louder.

470
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 6: Right there, Everybody just start talking louder. And that doesn't.

471
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 8: I said, na, you ever heard this talk? American talk American.

472
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 8: That's the class ever heard.

473
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: That's crazy talk American while in another country.

474
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 4: They say it here and tell people to say here. Well,

475
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 4: I get.

476
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: People saying it while in America. It's it's still like

477
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 3: I think it's disgusting. But imagine being in somebody else's

478
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 3: country and saying talk American, like you know what I'm saying.

479
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: If I'm in America, you know what I'm saying.

480
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: You would expect that the dominant languages English.

481
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: But even if they talk American, when you can't just

482
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: say talk America is crazy.

483
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 4: Imagine you in their country. Though.

484
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: There's also customs, right, so things that we're accustomed to

485
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 2: doing here that may be offensive to other places. It's

486
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: like you got to do your due diligence before you travel.

487
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: Any worse that you're not by accident, you know, because

488
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 2: you're just ignorant to the culture offending people. There was

489
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: something I saw, was it about tipping, Like it's offensive

490
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: to tip something ja American.

491
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 9: Multiple countries that they'll take it offensive that you're tipping

492
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 9: because that's not primary culture for them.

493
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 2: Right.

494
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 3: Well, I've been looking to go into Japan, so I've

495
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 3: been reading up on cultures. I also know that it

496
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: is definitely it's disrespectful to talk on your cell phone

497
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 3: in an elevator, It's disrespectful to have a private conversation.

498
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: And like, these are things that I'm just looking to learn.

499
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 3: But to your point, how about you learn about the

500
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: culture before you go there and get yourself in trouble.

501
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 3: Because when we went to Dubai, everyone knows I like

502
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: to smoke a little bit. I didn't take not one

503
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 3: ounce a week. This is against your culture and I'm

504
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 3: gonna be here for eight days. Fine, I just I'm

505
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 3: not small. I wasn't looking for none.

506
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 4: I didn't need it now.

507
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 3: But some time Americans will go and be like, well

508
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 3: we can do this here, and now you in jail.

509
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 3: You know that that happens.

510
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 4: What was the dude?

Speaker 3: wrote graffiti as a way to mark that he was there,

516
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: but got arrested for it. And he and him yes,

Speaker 3: and being lost and not being able to speak the

571

575
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: travel and learn about cultures and learn about things because

576
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 3: being there and Jackson was six at the time. We

577
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 3: had we were on the bus and I had already

578
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: mapped it out of my head. I'm like, listen, I

579
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: know the bus line. I mapped it out. As long

580
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: as we stay on the bus line, we cool. Stay

581
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: on the bus line. We get off the bus line.

582
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 3: He's like, Dad, I gotta go to the bathroom. So

583
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 3: I said, let's walk into this museum. Oh, you got

584
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 3: to pay to go in the museum. Okay, we go

585
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 3: in the museum, but you got to exit on the

586
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: other side of the museum. So when we came out,

587
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 3: we came out on a different side of the building.

588
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 3: I had no clue where I was, and I'm in

589
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 3: like downtown Madrid and I'm just think of imagine you

590
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 3: walk out of ran on me Plaza and then you

591
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 3: see road road, road, circle road.

592
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 4: You like, I don't know which road. I came from

593
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 4: jet to holiday.

594
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: That was a freaking jet two holidays for me. And

595
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: then I'm walking and Jackson goes Dad like, what's up.

596
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 4: He's like, we lost bro.

597
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 3: My stomach was in my freaking heart, bro Like it

598
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 3: was like I was like, I was like, no, we're

599
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 3: not lost man. And we walked for like an hour

600
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: thirty minutes and I'm walking around looking and looking, and

601
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: finally my ego was like, yo, you gotta ask somebody, right,

602
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: So I said, how could I ask somebody without looking

603
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: like a tourist because the sun was going down. So

604
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: I pulled my key cart out, walked over to a

605
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 3: guy that was sitting in the taxi stand and I

606
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: was just like, you know what I'm saying. I was

607
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 3: just like, hotel, hotel, you know, hotel, and he was

608
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: just like, oh, I'll take you, bro, get in the hotel.

609
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: Two and a half blocks. We had walked that far

610
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: that he literally went scoo cool.

611
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: Cool and got in the cab.

612
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 4: It took me right there.

613
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: But when I tell you, I was so scared, and

614
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 3: I said to myself, I don't ever want my son

615
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 3: to feel like this. So I got to make sure

616
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 3: he traveling even when we go, because she she knows

617
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 3: I'll be in my house all day. But when she

618
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: says she wanted to travel somewhere, I'm like, I wasn't

619
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 3: my idea. That was her idea.

620
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: So I'm a rock understand and travel etiquette too. You know,

621
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 2: the kids should be accustomed to knowing what it's like

622
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 2: to get on a plane, travel somewhere, look after your things,

623
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 2: check for your bags. You know, it's a lot of it.

624
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just even like life lessons that are intertwined

625
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: into the experience, so much.

626
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 9: Traveling through the airport and you could just see they've

627
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 9: never gone through an airport before.

628
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, absolutely. And then you have the TSA

629
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: agent that expects that everyone does this every day, like

630
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: they do, so they're yelling at people about what to

631
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: do when it's like literally people going through for the

632
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: first person and super scared and super intimidated by the

633
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: whole experience.

634
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 4: I like that. I walk right past him.

635
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: It could be a lot.

636
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 4: Get out my weight, man, I'm going to custom you

637
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 4: know much. Funny know, we should talk a little bit

638
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 4: about that.

639
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 7: Man.

640
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 3: Like people be intimidated to travel, do your research beforehand,

641
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 3: find out what time, how long before the flight you

642
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 3: should get there. The number one reason people hate the

643
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 3: travel is because if my flight is right, they want

644
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: to get to the airport at nine thirty. Then they

645
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 3: get there and they don't know where anything is, so

646
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: now they panic. Then it's no give yourself two hours

647
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 3: if you don't travel often, so you can get there

648
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: and you can ask some questions, you can move around.

649
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 4: The lines are going to be long. People are traveling.

650
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 4: That's just what it is.

651
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 3: Someday you're gonna walk into the airport and you're gonna

652
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 3: be online for thirty minutes, unless you're a frequent flyer.

653
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: So people need to know too, like it can give

654
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 3: you anxiety if you're not prepared.

655
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 4: Just give yourself time.

656
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 6: The more rule of traveling. Occupations have occupations.

657
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 5: Oh that's a good one.

658
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 6: That's moment of truth. You heard it here first, bars.

659
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 4: That's.

660
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 6: Shut up.

661
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: Any other jet to holiday stories.

662
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 4: Yes, so back in twenty nineteen nineteen.

Speaker 2: We're y'all together again. Huh, we're together.

664
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 4: We travel the world together with other people. I brought

665
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 4: the love of my life this time, and it wasn't Matt.

666
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 8: We went to India for the very first time and

667
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 8: it was the very last time as well.

668
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 6: Not for me.

669
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 8: Let me tell you something, man, I've been all over

670
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 8: this world and India has some very beautiful parts, but

671
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 8: it has some has some other parts that I was

672
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 8: not aware of. And everything I see online right now,

673
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 8: that's everything that I saw in India at that time

674
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 8: in person, live and direct. And what's funny is Matt

675
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 8: and I we we we went with the purpose of

676
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 8: going to like the Holley Festival.

677
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, we went to the Holly Holy.

678
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 8: Holy Festival early March, and we didn't know that they

679
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 8: like kids will. First off, we didn't know India had

680
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 8: hy ens, all right.

681
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 4: Number one, we were in Delhi, they had Wayians.

682
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 8: They were chasing us in the street with chicken feet,

683
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 8: like like a chicken's foot, not cooked chas.

684
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 9: So for clarity on the story, just in case anybody

685
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 9: wants to jump in and jump us, we didn't go

686
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 9: to an organized Holly festival situation. We were just trying

687
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 9: to figure it out forty Yeah, we don't really know much.

688
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 9: So we thought we could just go there find people

689
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 9: throwing paint powder, yeah, and see what it is. That's

690
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 9: not how it was. It was certain places that have

691
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 9: organized a fence for that we were doing. We basically

692
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 9: ended up in Brownsville, East, New York.

693
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 8: Wow, DEI, we were in the hood, like actual hood.

694
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 8: It was Matt got smacked with this thing in his face,

695
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 8: with the powder in his fate.

696
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: It was it like a jew job job type situation.

697
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 8: Got it all, all these colors. It is one of

698
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 8: the most colorful festivals in India. But we weren't prepared

699
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 8: for there's no guide to this. There's a certain place

700
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 8: that you go to in India. We are not there.

701
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 8: We are waiting from that location.

702
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 4: But the whole country celebrates it, right, so we weren't.

703
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 8: Like we later on we found out we should have

704
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 8: went to this specific place, but you know, flights going in,

705
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,720

Speaker 9: at it's packed his kids. It's kids, and they're taking

787
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 9: bags off and his kids in up there. There was

788
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 9: a grown adults sitting up there.

789
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 4: Too, but the parents are putting their kids up there

790
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:33,959
Speaker 4: because it's.

791
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 9: Like it's the only spot we have to get on this.

792
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 9: These are not things we're thinking about. We're just trying

793
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 9: to get to to context. Zoom out. This is the

794
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 9: only way they could get from the big city to

795
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 9: the small town where they live. This is the only train. Especially,

796
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,479
Speaker 9: so there's people running on the platform while the train moving,

797
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 9: trying to get on.

798
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 6: Stuff like that.

799
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 8: And this is no disrespect to anybody, but no one

800
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 8: wore deal around that train.

801
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 4: All right.

802
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 8: This is not no, I'm not disrespecting anybody, but I

803
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 8: mean this is what it is dealing with. You're dealing

804
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 8: with a compact train, right, people barefoot, summertime, people sweating this.

805
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 8: Vendors he said, the train is packed. It's still vendors

806
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 8: walking through the train, selling, selling soups everything everything.

807
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 6: You know how smell?

808
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, grab yourself with sip.

809
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 8: You think nobody is standing between your legs, you got

810
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 8: another thing coming because there's there's a random dude that's

811
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 8: going to make room and stand between your legs while

812
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 8: you're sitting on that.

813
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why he wont to clarify nothing, you know what.

814
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 4: That's that's good though. This is why you gotta pack

815
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 4: your patience.

816
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: Bro.

817
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: Plan when you travel around the world.

818
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 6: But even but even when you plan, just plan for

819
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 6: it to go wrong and you have to pivot. That

820
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 6: That's why I always say paccupations.

821
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 4: That's true, don't You're right? I had a plan to

822
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 4: you better play, I think.

823
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 8: But I think planning is great, but I think some

824
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 8: of the best experiences comes where you don't plan either,

825
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 8: and you.

826
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 4: Just you just like, let's just anybody, no I'm not

827
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 4: telling somebody do that. But now we travel. We wing

828
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 4: it my wife and that we travel.

829
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 8: Sometimes you're like, you know, you want to go here,

830
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 8: but you might just wing it a little bit and

831
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 8: out of that.

832
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: Winging you might get a little his story.

833
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 4: But it's cool wing with Gavin around.

834
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: And we got that run in the car and almost

835
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: missed our cruise ship.

836
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 7: Back to I.

837
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 2: They were like cross because they might hijack you while

838
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: you're out. And I'm just like another situation.

839
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: The sun is going down and I'm like, yo, Gavin,

840
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 3: we gotta go back. He's like, nah, something we good Gavin.

841
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 3: Gavin from the hood to so Gavin thinks everywhere he

842
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 3: could fight anybody, because I'm like, bro Win Cosmo, you

843
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 3: don't know these people, bro, they don't speak American.

844
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 4: They're not going to give the minute you say I'm

845
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 4: from Brooklyn, they not.

846
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 2: Gonna They got the version of browns over there too.

847
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 3: And that's the fact that's important for people to know

848
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 3: that there's a version of Brownsville.

849
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: Everywhere and don't on Brooklyn. That's that's the Browns that's

850
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: our hood, Brownsville.

851
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 3: There's flat bushes everywhere, there's a canards seat everywhere. So

852
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 3: I don't think you the toughest wherever you go, because

853
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 3: there's some people that's going through some ship that's been like,

854
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 3: wait a minute, arrogant American, I'm taking everything you got.

855
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 4: That is a fact.

856
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 9: Surround out that story real quick. But like for me,

857
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 9: it's all my travel stories are really important because I

858
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,959
Speaker 9: dropped out of school and I just started traveling because

859
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 9: I felt like that was the best way for me

860
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 9: to gain experience in life. And it worked for me.

861
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 9: The India sorry for me, the Mahaw picture. All of

862
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 9: those stories come to me when I see that picture

863
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 9: because I remember and when I got there, it was like,

864
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 9: this place is beautiful, and that's what it felt. Absolutely

865
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 9: worth it. But it gave me compassion for people. I

866
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 9: don't ever complain about m t A or those types

867
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 9: of ever.

868
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 4: Josh said, word, we could, but you.

869
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 8: Could just taxi, but we didn't know that serious. We

870
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 8: could have took up their fifty dollars taxi and we

871
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 8: would have been good. We'd have been miserable, but yeah,

872
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 8: but you.

873
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 6: Don't got that license.

874
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 2: Story now now gave me the moment of truth.

875
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: Matt, Traveling the world does teach you compassion.

876
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 2: For Yeah, you know, you walk around thinking that you've.

877
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 3: Got it so bad until you travel the world and

878
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 3: like man like running water, something that we think is

879
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 3: so regular.

880
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: You go somewhere else and you like, they don't even

881
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:21,959
Speaker 1: have running water.

882
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 4: Get your empathy.

883
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 2: I was thinking the slums that we were in.

884
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 8: You could see you can see electrical poles that have

885
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 8: like thousands of wires on it, like it looks like

886
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 8: he's about to burn down, and you can see the

887
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 8: poverty that these people are living. Being on that train.

888
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 8: Being on that train, you felt you felt almost too

889
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 8: good to be on that train. It was like you're

890
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 8: privileged and you shouldn't be on this train. But when

891
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 8: you look at everybody else on that train and what

892
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 8: they gotta do, like they gotta deal with every day,

893
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 8: they realize, like, you're so blessed if you're hundred percent blessed, Yeah.

894
00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 6: Beyond blessed.

895
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 4: That's a fact.

896
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 9: You see that situation, it's like, I'm never going to

897
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 9: forget how I saw this or how I felt everything

898
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 9: that was happening that.

899
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy when you hear about Flint.

900
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 3: We lived in Canton, Michigan for a minute, and when

901
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: all the stories about Flint started coming out, it made

902
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 3: me realize that, like, Yo, just just one town over

903
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 3: from Canton, runtown over is Flint. They don't have running

904
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 3: water there and haven't had running water there for decades. Right,

905
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 3: if you really think about that, I think about what

906
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 3: the story you just told. There are places in America

907
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 3: in the same exact thing, and it gives you empathy

908
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 3: for people. When you traveled and seen something outside of

909
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: your front porch, it shows you, like Yo, I do

910
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 3: have to value what I have, yes, right, but I

911
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 3: also have to value.

912
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 4: What other people have gone through.

913
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 3: So when you come onto a train and someone may

914
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 3: have an attitude or someone may have like a bad disposition,

915
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 3: think about it. They may be going through something just

916
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 3: to get here that you haven't. And that's what traveling

917
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 3: really is like.

918
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 2: Travel essentially can make you kinder of a person because

919
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 2: you just never understand what people are going through. I

920
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 2: think the one experience that I've value so so much,

921
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 2: and Devo was there for it and Josh as well,

922
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 2: was going back to where my dad is from, you know,

923
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: like traveling back to somewhere where my family originated and

924
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: seeing the humble beginnings of my father having to walk

925
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 2: five miles in the morning to get to you know,

926
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 2: milk the cows, to come back to have breakfast, you know,

927
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: before school. Like those things just made me think, wow,

928
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: like people are still there living in those spaces, and

929
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, in my mind, I'm like, it's unfathomable how

930
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: they're able to function day to day like that. But

931
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 2: they're just so grateful for what they have and they

932
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 2: haven't experienced anything more than that. But it really makes

933
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 2: you appreciate. Well, for me, where my family has come

934
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 2: from and then what I have now. Travel definitely, that

935
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: was one of the first thing that came to mind

936
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: for me, is like it makes you a kinder person

937
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 2: because you've seen so much.

938
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 3: Traveling worked out well for me. I love traveling with

939
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: you. You opened my eyes up to a lot of things.

940
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 3: Like I didn't travel. The first time I left the

941
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 3: country was go to Nova Scotia when I was eighteen,

942
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 3: when my parents took us there. But then after that

943
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: I was in college. I had never traveled the world ever.

944
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 3: So then when Kate was like, let's start going places,

945
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 3: it really opened my mind up and just taught me

946
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 3: how to appreciate, gave me more perspective gave me a

947
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 3: broader perspective, but also it made me hungry though, Like

948
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 3: going to travel more with you made me wonder, like

949
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 3: what's going on over there?

950
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 4: But I do agree with Treble.

951
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 3: I'm more interested in going to Africa than I am

952
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 3: going to Europe. Like I just everything I've heard about

953
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 3: Africa from young was just about how bad Somalia was,

954
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 3: and you know, like it's like they programmed us to

955
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: not ever want to go back and see, but because

956
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 3: of social media, now we get a chance to see.

957
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 4: And he was like, wait a minute, why does that

958
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 4: look like New York over this?

959
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 3: Like wait a minute, Nigeria has a place that looks

960
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 3: like San Francisco. Is you know what I'm saying, Like

961
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 3: I want to go see all.

962
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: Of that, all the doings.

963
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's stupid. Come on, you'll get your passports ready.

964
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 8: I agree with de Vell, but I want to push

965
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 8: the narrative a little bit more and encourage more people

966
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 8: to go to Africa and more people to you know,

967
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 8: explore their origins, especially black people for sure, explore their

968
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 8: origins in Africa. I've been to Nigeria and South Africa

969
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 8: and Mauritius so far and I don't think I tested

970
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 8: the surface.

971
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 4: I'm sure you have of what Africa has to offer?

972
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 2: Did you I did?

973
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 5: You did?

974
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 2: Are you Nigerian part partially?

975
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 4: Yeah? Six percent Nigerian and Benina Togo.

976
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 8: Oh so those three countries make up sixty sixty six percent.

977
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 2: Of my gotcha, I'm thirty eight percent in Yeah, you're

978
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 2: like eighty seven percent. Yeah, yeah, Nigerian, bro.

979
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 3: It makes listen, listen, my green and my white. Please

980
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 3: give me a name to present the green and the white,

981
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 3: you know.

982
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 8: But also understanding that all African countries are not equal,

983
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 8: They're not the same, and they offer so many different things.

984
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 8: So I want to encourage your people to go to

985
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 8: Africa understanding that Africa is a continent and not a

986
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 8: necessarily exactly.

987
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 4: I think it's important for people.

988
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: There's several countries, the largest on the pet because the

989
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: map slide.

990
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have this idea.

991
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: That Africa is the smaller continent and I'm like, there's

992
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 3: no way. Yeah, there's no way if you really look

993
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 3: at it. But I mean, how we're gonna trust when

994
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 3: they make the globes.

995
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's the largest and the richest continent

996
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 7: on the planet. Absolutely and even within the countries in Africa,

997
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 7: there's hundreds of tribes. So even the black people are

998
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 7: not the same where we come from. We see black

999
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 7: people as a monolith. You believe Black American or you know,

1000
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 7: y'all got New York so you got like Jamaican's, Caribbeans,

1001
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 7: all that Afro Latino.

1002
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 5: But people have different tribal.

1003
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 7: Traditions and ways of living and ways of celebrating, and

1004
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 7: it's amazing to see. It's really amazing to see, and

1005
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,720
Speaker 7: it's amazing to be embraced by folks. I remember meeting

1006
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 7: some little girls in South Africa and they were like, oh,

1007
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 7: so your parents are African.

1008
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 5: I'm like, no, they're American. And they're like okay, but

1009
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 5: how did they get there?

1010
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 4: Like what do you mean?

1011
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 2: You know?

1012
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 7: So like there's like a missing link. Even in some

1013
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 7: of the interactions we are, we are alike. And it

1014
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 7: was such such a beautiful experience because these little black girls,

1015
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 7: they were doing things, these little South African girls, they

1016
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 7: were doing things that black American girls do. They wanted

1017
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 7: to touch my hair, they were in flaming hots, you know

1018
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 7: what I'm saying, Like right, and didn't know that there

1019
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 7: was black people in America.

1020
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 5: So it's such a beautiful thing to reconnect with you.

1021
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I got my eye on South Africa

1022
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 2: for this Thanksgiving. Kas's birthday falls on Thanksgiving Day, and

1023
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: we're doing like alternating Thanksgivings where we do one with

1024
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: family and then one travel summertime.

1025
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 7: It's summer and it's a little code there's I loved

1026
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 7: Cape Town. I had a really great time in Cape Town.

1027
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 7: It's really great I did. I rented a car in

1028
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 7: Cape Town and I drove up. First I went to

1029
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 7: this amphitheater is really really beautiful. It has a Dutch name.

1030
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 7: I can't think of it right now, but it's like

1031
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 7: back in the woods, and so all of the surrounding

1032
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 7: the stage is like natural stone unless that's carved out

1033
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 7: of the mountain, and then everything around it is green.

1034
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 7: And then I went to Table Mountain. Now, where you

1035
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 7: rent a car in another country, most of them are manual,

1036
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 7: so it's a stick. I'm driving a stick up to

1037
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 7: the top of a freaking mountain on the coast.

1038
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 5: It was a beautiful drive.

1039
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 7: On the way down, I got to part of the

1040
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 7: city and I hit every car that was park.

1041
00:46:55,840 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 4: Because you know, you.

1042
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 7: Driving on the opposite side of the car, on the

1043
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 7: opposite side of the street. So I'm like, I can't

1044
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 7: really see what, you know, what I'm next to. I

1045
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 7: hate everybody's side few mirror. I was just like, I

1046
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 7: gotta keep going. I can't stop, man, I don't know

1047
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 7: nobody was by myself.

1048
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 4: Just drive American.

1049
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 8: She didn't say fifty pounds. She spent five hundred pounds

1050
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 8: that far.

1051
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 3: And I know they was already like, oh fuck, I

1052
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: still can't believe someone telling somebody to talk Americade like.

1053
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 4: That doesn't even sound right to be bro. Could you

1054
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 4: imagine saying that to somebody?

1055
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. But you know, people, an, that's crazy.

1056
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 4: That's what you said to drive American.

1057
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 2: That's what she's telling these bill collectors who got to

1058
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 2: pay these bills. How about y'all pay them in American.

1059
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 4: I got my moment of truth. That's my moment of truth.

1060
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell y'all.

1061
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: Now, let's take a break and we're gonna get into

1062
00:47:51,640 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 2: listen to letters. So when we get back, all right,

1063
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 2: we'll back with our listed letter for the day. I'm

1064
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 2: gonna dive right in. Thank you so much for the

1065
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 2: beautiful book. My husband and I write it together and

1066
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 2: I truly enjoyed it. Thank you. Who else is still

1067
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: reading and purchasing? We over me. We appreciate y'all. I'm

1068
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 2: reaching out because I've been feeling stuck since becoming a

1069
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 2: mom to my two little ones, now two and four.

1070
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 2: When I met my husband, I had just graduated, was

1071
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 2: working in a nonprofit medical center, running a small nonprofit

1072
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 2: of my own, hosting poetry events and personal training that

1073
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 2: was like a full pay. I was living in my purpose,

1074
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 2: which we love that. But when I became pregnant, I

1075
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: lost my job during the pandemic. It had to put

1076
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 2: everything on pause. Since then, I've pushed my husband to grow,

1077
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 2: which created conflict. Therapy has helped me accept that he

1078
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 2: may never contribute in the way I hoped, and I'm

1079
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 2: learning to release that expectation. Now I'm trying to figure

1080
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: out how to step into the next version of myself.

1081
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: I've earned new wellness certifications, and I know I have

1082
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 2: what it takes to build something again, but community and

1083
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 2: trust have been the hardest to rebuild. I don't want

1084
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 2: to do this alone again, but I also don't want

1085
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: to keep waiting and losing these years to hesitation. I'm

1086
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 2: ready to move forward, but still finding my way back

1087
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 2: to feeling confident and rooted in purpose. What ways have

1088
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 2: helped you create community and trust around the things that

1089
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 2: you want to build? I don't want to create something

1090
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 2: again by myself and build partnerships that are not mutually beneficial.

1091
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 4: How old had she said she was?

1092
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 2: She did not say. She just said that she had

1093
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 2: two little ones, two and four. Her and her husband

1094
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 2: read the book.

1095
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 3: It sounds to me like she's just going through the

1096
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 3: life process, you know, starting things, learning how to use discernment.

1097
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 3: Some people probably did her wrong, which is going to

1098
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 3: happen in life, or maybe not even did her wrong.

1099
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 3: She might have had some business partners who probably had

1100
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 3: some different synergies or things in the work out.

1101
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: It seems like her and her husband don't have the

1102
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: same work ethic or drives.

1103
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 3: Seem like she's a very driven person, right, high energy

1104
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 3: type A type person. I mean, it seems like she's

1105
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 3: at the point in her life where she's starting to

1106
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 3: figure out that everybody isn't like her. You know, we've

1107
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 3: gone through this before, and you figure out not to

1108
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 3: shame people, but also not to accept a lesser version

1109
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 3: of yourself because you want to fit in with those people, and.

1110
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 2: Also releasing expectations because like she said, you know, when

1111
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 2: you have an expectation, especially within a partnership, that you're

1112
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 2: hoping the person changes, or the person grows, or the

1113
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 2: person adapts to your way of thinking, you can end

1114
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 2: up being really disappointed in that. It's learning to accept

1115
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: the person for who they are and then now trying

1116
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 2: to find that village.

1117
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 4: Right.

1118
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 2: So, for example, with Divine and I'm building out our businesses,

1119
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 2: it's about finding individuals who have the work ethic but

1120
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 2: also the same mindset and can bring something to the

1121
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 2: table with their talent. So remember we talked about working

1122
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 2: in groups, for example, whenever kids are now working in

1123
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 2: groups to develop that collaborative spirit. Find people who have

1124
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 2: strengths and areas that you need in order to build

1125
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 2: that business up. So a lot of times it could

1126
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 2: be like Triple Sat in the previous episode, going into

1127
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 2: spaces that have people who are like minded because you

1128
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 2: share the same interest. Right. So whatever this business is

1129
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 2: that you're trying to build, now maybe putting yourself in

1130
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 2: those kinds of spaces.

1131
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 3: I also know that she said when I became pregnant,

1132
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 3: I lost my job. So think about what you just

1133
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 3: said about being in those spaces with like minded people.

1134
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 3: Right then, you go through pregnancy, and a lot of

1135
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 3: times when you go through pregnancy, not that you go

1136
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 3: through it alone, but you're going through a journey in

1137
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 3: your life where other people who aren't pregnant may not

1138
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 3: be able to go with you. You know how some

1139
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 3: women say they lose friends during pregnancy. You know, some

1140
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 3: guys say I lost my homies when my wife got

1141
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 3: pregnant or we started having kids. It seems like she's

1142
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 3: going through that transition in life, you know, like it's

1143
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 3: a different phase of her life.

1144
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 4: You have kids now, your wife.

1145
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 3: You know, you may not have the same syner Jesus

1146
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 3: friends that you grew up with, but it's okay, find

1147
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 3: those people, like you just said. And I think, like

1148
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 3: reading that while you listening to what you just said,

1149
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 3: her trying to find those people of like minds while

1150
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 3: going through a different, like phase of her life is

1151
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 3: going to be challenging. But she's going to therapy, so

1152
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 3: she's learning about herself. I think she's just had a

1153
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 3: phase in life where she's learning about herself.

1154
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 2: It's like the startup all over again. Right, that's always

1155
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 2: the hardest part to kind of like find your way through.

1156
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: But it seems like you have the determination at least

1157
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 2: and the drive to you know, pick the pieces up

1158
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 2: and kind of create something beautiful for yourself.

1159
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 3: And she's asking for ways to help build. I think

1160
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 3: she's doing all the things to build right, going to therapy.

1161
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 3: I hope she's continuing to talk to her husband, dropping expectations.

1162
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't think there's any one thing we

1163
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 3: can tell her other than the fact that she keeps

1164
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 3: doing the work and life is going.

1165
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: To work out for her in a beneficial way.

1166
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 2: And building trust around the things you want to build, Yeah,

1167
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 2: just being being upfront and being vocal and being intentional,

1168
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 2: and that always helps when you're developing trust with someone

1169
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 2: in the very beginning phases of whatever it is that

1170
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 2: you're trying to build. So good luck to you. It

1171
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 2: seems like you got your head on straight.

1172
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: It does seem like you're doing it right. It's just

1173
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: rock with it might keep going.

1174
00:52:55,400 --> 00:53:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, anything good worth having it takes time takes time. Yeah, Yeah,

1175
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 2: all right, if you want to be featured in an

1176

1183
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 2: All right, moment of truth time. We're talking about travel.

1184
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 2: What that's like the importance of opening up your mind

1185
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 2: to actually stepping foot on the soil of other countries.

1186
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 2: Anybody want to take it away? I think Matt tod

1187
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 2: he had one to go. Did you have a momentary

1188
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 2: back the patients?

1189
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 9: I like that, I got another one.

1190
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 4: I would say travel is very byly important. Just do it.

1191
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 8: You don't got to lead the country. Uh, you can

1192
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 8: stay in the United stations. Do it United stations very

1193
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 8: broad ride like yeah, but Josh definitely definitely step outside

1194
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 8: of your comfort zone, out of your neighborhood, out of

1195
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 8: your state, and explore.

1196
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 6: Get off your block.

1197
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 7: That's in truth is that nothing beats a Jetsu holiday.

1198
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 2: That's a fact.

1199
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely nothing done.

1200
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 2: Especially when you can say fifty pounds per person.

1201
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 3: As don't ever in your life, no matter where you are,

1202
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 3: tell somebody to talk. It's my moment of truth, bro,

1203
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,720
Speaker 3: Like I can't even imagine, bro, because I was lost

1204
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 3: to Madrid and I never thought to tell somebody to

1205
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 3: talk about it.

1206
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 4: Was like, Bro, I gotta figure this outhing about.

1207
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: We ate pizza her twice because I can figure.

1208
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 2: Out pizza from the very least.

1209
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 3: Tango tango, no keto, movest tango.

1210
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 4: I gotta do better. But I did not say talking about.

1211
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,879
Speaker 2: I love it well. Jackson's is immersed into Spanish this year,

1212
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 2: so we got to make sure you're speaking at home

1213
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 2: with us. Make sure we at least get one language

1214
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 2: under our beltish like I'm doing it myself and my

1215
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: family the service.

1216
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: You're not speaking Spanish to me?

1217
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 4: You read language.

1218
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 2: I learn a couple of choice phrases.

1219
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 4: Like what.

1220
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 2: Well, how does one say, got got five thousand Spanish?

1221
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 4: Josh, you lost me? You lost me. It's not it's

1222
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 4: not my conversation, bro.

1223
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 2: Think of me. Let's think for me, my mow and

1224
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 2: the truth is, ditch the tramp stamp and get you

1225
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,479
Speaker 2: a passport stamp. How about that? That's where the true

1226
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 2: wealth is. You know what I'm saying in memories and

1227
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 2: building memories and it will overall I think make you

1228
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 2: a more kind, compassionate human when you can see how

1229
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 2: other people live.

1230
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 9: My other one was the travel will help you start

1231
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 9: developing more gratitude.

1232
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 4: That's a fact.

1233
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, Oh for sure. Look at you the

1234
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 2: wealth of humanity today.

1235
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 3: Travel develop a humanity man, Travel, meet people, see different

1236
