And just like that, we're back 3 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: on the air. Welcome to yet another episode of Carefully Reckless. 4 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: It's your Girl. Just hilarious. And this topic will forever 5 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: be debatable because if it's one thing our people, meaning 6 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: the black community, likes to do, it's go toe to toe, 7 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: flow with the flow, and they love to debate on ship. 8 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: So grab your tea in your halls because it's story 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: time today. I got two stories, very interesting. The first one, 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: I was sitting at a black owned restaurant beautiful. I'm 11 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: talking about superb. The ambiance is everything. It's in Baltimore City, 12 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: downtown near Harbor East, right. It's called Black Swan b 13 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: l K Swan. Now, Black Swan has only been open 14 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: for a matter of weeks and they're already booked up 15 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: with reservations all throughout the summer. So it's hard to 16 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: get in there unless you jest him saying, unless you 17 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: get care But y'all ain't me, so y'all gonna get 18 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: in at the end of this year. Right. So I'm 19 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: sitting there, I'm chilling. It's a table next to me 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: full of females. Now they know who I am, they speak, 21 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: we take pictures. Everything's cool, But I hear them running 22 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: their mouth about the prices of the food. This is 23 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: what the girl said, verbatim. Who the funk they think 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 1: gonna pay forty two dollars for a salmon? Nobody's paying 25 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: forty two dollars from the salmon, Like I'm not doing it. 26 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: They're tripping. They're tripping her home girl said, what the 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: type ship? Day on? It's thirteen dollars for a shot 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: of Henny. Now listen, I said there, I ate my food. 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: I ain't say ship. You know I'm not too nosy 30 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: because I listen, I've been there before as well, just 31 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: not in a black owned restaurant. I say this ship 32 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: about white restaurants. The funk I'm talking about five star 33 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: Michelin restaurants. I say this ship. But nevertheless, I've been there, 34 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: so I didn't say ship. Their bill came, they all 35 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: complained purposely about food not being cooked right, that they 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: ate that they never sent back just so they can 37 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: get a discount off of their fucking food. When I 38 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: tell you, that ship makes me so sick to my stomach. 39 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: It discussed me that that happened. I ain't say ship 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: I was piste off about it. I did damn sure 41 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: of telling they asked when they got the funk up 42 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: and left. I called their waiter over and I called 43 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: the manager over to. I said, it was nothing wrong 44 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: with them girls food. That's why they didn't send it back. 45 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: It was nothing wrong with the drinks. That's why they 46 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: didn't send it back. They didn't feel like they should 47 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: have had to pay that much. Because this is a 48 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: black establishment. That's another form of tearing down your own 49 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: fucking people. It's not about bullying all the time. It's 50 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: not about that that got under my skin, all right. 51 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: Story number two cool.

However, 87 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: they were open, but the sign was still up. So 88 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: I never even tried the door that day. The next 89 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,119 Speaker 1: day I went home, I called around like three, waited 90 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: an hour. Called.

Like, I said, alright, cool whatever. After 98 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: they hung up on me, I called back to be petty, 99 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: just to hang up on them and ship you know 100 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Called from a different number and just 101 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: hung up on their ass like I was mad or whatever, 102 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: so they knew it was me. They put two one 103 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: to together, got the same voice. Voice is very distinctive. Whatever. 104 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: So that's the end of that story. So those are 105 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: two different stories. Okay, now we're gonna head over. It's 106 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: a carefully reckless discussion. Hold up, Hold up, I know 107 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: the ship getting good, but listen to just a couple 108 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: of seconds of a commercial. If you love me, you'll listen. 109 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: Now let's discuss this. That's two different stories. That's an 110 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: upside of having a black owned business, and then that's 111 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: the downside of supporting a black owned business. Okay, the 112 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: first story where I was talking about black Swan, Now, 113 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: it's a beautiful restaurant. If you visit Baltimore, you have 114 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: to go, but you have to make your reservations, Like 115 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: right now, if you want a reservation for Christmas, nigga, 116 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: you better call tonight and ask the niggas do they 117 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: have any reservations open for Christmas? You know what I'm saying. 118 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: Like it's really really nice in it's downtown, you know, 119 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: surrounded by a bunch of white businesses and ship, you 120 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So, first of all, that's something 121 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: big to me. I don't know if that's big to 122 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: anybody else's ship is big to me because there's been 123 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: a stigma put on black businesses. Majority of people think 124 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: black and both white, that black businesses belong in the hood, 125 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: that they only flourish in the hood, they only prosper 126 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: in the hood. No, that's a stigma. That's something that 127 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: we've been conditioned to fucking think. Not true at all. 128 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: This is in the middle of Harbor East, surrounded by 129 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: Ocean Air and Nando's and t Volls. These are nice establishment, 130 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: you know, restaurants and ship you know what I'm saying. 131 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: That's been around for years and years. The problem to 132 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: me when I was sitting next to that table of 133 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: black girls, that pissed me off because would you have 134 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 1: had that same fucking energy sitting in Ruth Chris, where 135 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: salmon is fifty dollars and up. You can't get no 136 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: salmon for no forty nine forty seven dollars and no 137 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: fucking roof, Chris. But you think, because you're in a 138 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: black establishment at what it's supposed to be fift a 139 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: dollars for nine, you want some McDonald's prices because we're 140 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: black because because this is a black owned establishment. If 141 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: you can pay a hundred and twenty dollars a plate 142 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: at roof Chris, you can pay a hundred and twenty 143 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: dollars a plate at Black Swan. Do you you understand what 144 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's what I don't like, and it's kind 145 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: of fucked up, you know, And of course I wanted 146 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: to say something, but like I said, they were still human, 147 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: and a lot of people are ignorant. They were ignorant 148 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: to their actions. They didn't even know any fucking better. 149 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: How disgusted they made the people around them. I wasn't 150 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: only when I heard them, you know what I'm saying, 151 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: It was even white people in that bitch looking at 152 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: them like, are you serious? Right now? Are you fucking 153 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: serious complaining about a thirteen dollars shot When y'all same 154 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: bitches will go and pay for a section at a 155 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: club and pay for fifty for a bottle of cosami 156 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: goes when you can stop by the bar, you can 157 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: stop by the fucking bar and get the same bottle 158 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: for under fifty dollars?

I was mad 161 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: at that ship. They couldn't get past their fucking egos 162 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: enough to realize we are running a business. Now. I 163 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: get the death in the family, but it's so many 164 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: of y'all.

But um, that's a whole 353 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: another topic for a whole another episode. The point is improvement. 354 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: We need to help each other improve. You don't see 355 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: Gucci putting Louis down. You don't see Boltega putting down product. 356 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: You don't see that ship. You just see them copying 357 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: the same different styles selling that ship because they know 358 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: we're all gonna run to the fucking store and buy it. 359 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: Let's do the same with our ship. Let's do the 360 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: same within our companies. Now we got a commercial and 361 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: if you click off of this podcast, I swear I'm 362 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: gonna beat your ass. Listen. Now that brings me to 363 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: Jazz fix my mess. Now, y'all know I always come 364 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: to y'all to get your feedback, because you know I 365 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: need that, I said on Instagram, I see a lot 366 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: of black people bashing black businesses. Your take on black 367 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: business bashing go Humbled and Hungry Underscore on Instagram said 368 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: as a black entrepreneur, I find it very disheartening that 369 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: we are so impatient with our brothers and sisters. We 370 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: will wait in a McDonald's line for shitty service and 371 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: keep coming back every time, knowing that we get bottom 372 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: level service and mediocre product. But let a black business 373 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: owner make one simple mistake, and now it's this is 374 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: why I don't support black businesses. That's asked backwards. We 375 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: do easily subscribe to large corporations, but when it comes 376 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: to doing business with one another, it's almost as if 377 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: we look for problems or reasons not to support, and 378 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: you are fucking right, Chef Serenity and shout out to 379 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: you because she's a chef, so she has her own 380 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: black owned business as well. Chef Serenity humbled and hungry Underscore. 381 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: Check out her fool y'all. I don't know where she is, 382 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: but she just spoke some real ship. I have no 383 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: words for that, because when you're right, you're right hot. 384 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: Nina Star with two rs Underscore says, Black White, Orange, 385 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if the customer service is weak. I'm 386 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: not supporting and don't lie and have store hours, but 387 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: your store is never open. Thank you, thank you so much. 388 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: That's what the funk I'm talking about, Emma, thank you, honey. 389 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: That goes back to story number two. I told y'all, 390 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, that ship pisses me off. Don't do that. 391 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: Don't do don't do that, dope girl, Slim says. I 392 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: don't see why we can't give constructive criticism, reviews, help 393 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: one another to improve, and stop putting failure and black 394 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: in the same phrase. Remember what I told you about 395 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: that stigma. She also said, Also, black women slash men 396 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: are starting to take over the beauty industry, which once 397 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: was dominated by non black people. We are raising quality 398 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: and standards, so let's help each other instead of bashing. 399 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: We are in a time where entrepreneurship is more accessible, 400 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: which means more people are trying it and may learn 401 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: that it's not for them. That's also something else I 402 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: wanted to touch on. I like the end of that 403 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: she said. Some people may be trying to be business 404 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: owners and start their own business because it's more accessible. 405 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: It's more at our fingertips than it ever was before. 406 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: With the Internet and ship you know what I'm saying. 407 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: People get these platforms and they just want to dive 408 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: into entrepreneurship. It doesn't work for everybody, but let them 409 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: figure that out. And also to those people, know when 410 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: to get out. You have to know, you have to 411 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: know what's good for you, and it takes time. And 412 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: I know this is gonna sound crazy, but don't keep 413 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: trying to take on a task that you are constantly 414 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: failing at if you're not trying to figure out why 415 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: the funk you're failing, And don't miss the message because 416 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: of who said it, and I'm the one that said it. 417 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Juju Dope girls, Slim. I like 418 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: that last one. I'm gonna read getting mad at shipping 419 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: from black companies, when people wait years for fashion over 420 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: never giving black businesses grace, acting as if it's a 421 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: chore to support black owners. Yes, that's another thing I 422 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: wanted to speak on. That was the end of just 423 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: fix my mess. I want to end it off on this. 424 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: I like that, and we're gonna lead this right here, 425 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: acting as if it's a chore to support black businesses. Now, 426 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: I see a lot of people that get very upset 427 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: and very irritated when people don't support black businesses. And 428 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: that don't mean that they don't support the cause, they 429 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: just don't buy. It's not a chore, it's not a requirement. 430 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: Don't get upset. Where there is two people who won't buy, 431 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: there's twenty who will. Don't focus on bashing the people 432 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: who just simply won't support your business. Put all of 433 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: the energy into the people who do. Put all of 434 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: the energy into bettering yourself as a CEO and bettering 435 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: your company, bettering your product. Always look for ways to 436 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: be innovative to improve your ship.
