1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: Okay, hi everyone, this is Allison Flowers from the Invisible Institute.

2
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: Before we jump in, we have some big news to share.

3
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: After hearing chaparol story and are reporting, the City of

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Chicago's Office of the Inspector General has decided to open

5
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: an official investigation. They want to know exactly what happened

6
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: in Courtney's case. The Inspector General's Office is an independent

7
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: watchdog agency that oversees city government. It's a powerful and

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: important agency, so their investigations can take a long time,

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: but they can also lead to real change. Their job

10
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: is to root out corruption and uncover misconduct among government

11
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: officials and sometimes the police. Depending on their findings, they

12
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: can recommend a change in rules or even disciplinary action.

13
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: Chaprol is hopeful that the Inspector General can uncover even

14
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: more about the final moments of her son's life. And

15
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: another quick update, there's a new teaching guide for the podcast.

16
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: You can find it online at Invisible Dot Institute slash

17
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: teach dash somebody with schools mostly online this year. It's

18
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: a great way to engage high school students in conversations

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: around race and policing. Now our episode, we still have

20
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: some a few more books backs left. We have about

21
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: sanmore left. You did ticket. Every year since Courtney died,

22
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: Chapol hosts a free book bag party through the Foundation

23
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: in his name. It's a big back to school community event.

24
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: There's always a ton of food, music, and some of

25
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: Courtney's friends give free haircuts to kids. It's all beautiful.

26
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: I love a great day. But this year's book bag

27
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 1: giveaway was a lot to friend Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Fewer people,

28
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: quieter spaced out here, chaparl on Facebook Life. She's a

29
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: little muffled because she's wearing a mask. Are you there.

30
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm getting everybody today. We're giving away bookbag

31
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: because we have hundreds of bookbags left. We are also

32
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: giving away free haircuts today, so I want to turn

33
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: around so you can see they have some availability. We're

34
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: taking haircuts two at a time because of COVID, but

35
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: we do have chaperl and the Foundation still pulled it

36
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: off and gave away three hundred book bags this year,

37
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: even with schools not reopening full time in the pandemic.

38
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: It was a bittersweet start to the school season. Courtney's

39
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: own book bag ended up being a recurring theme over

40
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: the three years at the Invisible Institute investigated the case

41
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: with Chaparl. So today we're going to dive into that

42
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: Lebron James book bag and why it was actually pretty

43
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: important understanding what happened to Courtney. And then we're going

44
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: to remember one of Courtney's best friends who was featured

45
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: in the podcast, Steve Otero, Courtney's book Bag. It's become

46
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: very special to Chaparl since Courtney's death. When we recorded

47
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: our final episode of the podcast, Chaparral brought Courtney's book

48
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: back to the studio just to be among us. And

49
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: that book bag is the reason why for a long time,

50
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: Chapel didn't think Courtney died in an attempted robbery. The

51
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: reason why that theory didn't pay for me as far

52
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: as a car jack is because nothing was taken from Courtney.

53
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: He had a cell phone, he had his wallet, his

54
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: book bag, his iPad, his vehicle, all of that was

55
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: still in the car. Courtney as a person was very

56
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: careful with his surrounding. If he felt like uneasy about

57
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: a situation, he would actually leave. So whatever happened to

58
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: Courtney that night, it was something that he was blind

59
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: aside by. Inside Courtney's book bag, was his iPad, and

60
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: even though the police report clearly listed the iPad as

61
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: being inside the BMW, it was missing. When Chaparll got

62
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: the car back from the impound lot, I x CPD

63
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: about his iPad. They said that they didn't they didn't

64
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: have the iPad and they never saw iPad. I said,

65
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: did you check the iPad to see if your head

66
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: and he captured anything. I said, because you know, iPads

67
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: do have cameras on them. They said, we have too much.

68
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: We don't have space to catalog everything. I said, okay,

69
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: this is the type of things when I say inconsistencies

70
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: that bother me. So this is why I have little

71
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: to no trust in what they're saying. That iPad and

72
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: the book bag was a major rabbit hole. Chapelle and

73
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: I went down for a long time. We tried that

74
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: finder iPad feature and it didn't work. We knew. The

75
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: officers on scene after Courtney pulled up to the station

76
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: and collapsed, went through his book bag because that's where

77
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: he kept his I D and Courtney's BMW co signer

78
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: Christian Hernandez told us that when he went to the

79
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: impound lot to get the car, the book bag was

80
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: dumped out, which was unusual because Courtney kept his car

81
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: pretty clean. When as soon as I walk in there,

82
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: the car was a mess. That was like somebody was

83
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: going through it because his jeans were everywhere. Trip to

84
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: me grabbed the book bag at his belongings. His book

85
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: back was wide open um if he were parking, how

86
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: would we tend to get out of the car, what

87
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: steps should we take? Would you reach for anything or

88
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: do anything? Like? In general, he's getting out of the car,

89
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: who reached for his book back? It will always be

90
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: in the back seat, always somewhere in the back seat,

91
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: usually on the seats on the floor. We heard the

92
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: same thing from Alma, the coworker Courtney was going to

93
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: see that night. It's a convertible, you know, it's a

94
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: It's a little car for a big guy. So normally

95
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: he would get out of his car, pull the seat forward,

96
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: and then reach into the back to get his backpack.

97
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: He would never leave his backpack in the car. He

98
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: would always take it with him. I think it's like

99
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: the weight of it, the weight of the backpack, like

100
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: he felt. I guess like he wasn't alone. When Alma

101
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: got home from the hospital the morning, Courtney died. She said,

102
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: everything became clear what must have happened. When she saw

103
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: the skid marks by the church where he usually parked.

104
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Everything started to make sense. I feel like he parked,

105
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: he was getting out of his car. Maybe he was

106
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: reaching for his backpack. That makes sense to me, you know,

107
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: if he was shot in the back, I feel like

108
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: he probably didn't see who shot him. When we spoke

109
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: to a firearms forensic expert, he thought that Courtney was

110
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: likely ducking out of the way when he saw danger coming.

111
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: Based on the low height of the car and the

112
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: angles someone would have had to shoot into the car.

113
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: But Chaparral kind of agreed with Alma on this one car.

114
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: It's just it's low, so it would have ended he

115
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: was getting his back he was getting his bag out,

116
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: and that would be all plausible, you know, after how

117
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: he got shot in the back. And the tragic irony

118
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: is that right as Courtney was probably reaching for that

119
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: book bag, that familiar weight that made him feel so safe,

120
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: he likely didn't realize the danger that was right there.

121
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Since the podcast aired, many of you from all over

122
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: the world have left Chaparral such kind words on our

123
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: voicemail and by email. Here's a few of Chaparral's favorite messages.

124
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: I am just a single mom with two kids driving

125
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: to Hilton Head left Virginia Beach early this morning, and

126
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: I have to tell you that those episodes that I

127
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: just lifted up to somebody podcast about Courtney Copeland less

128
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: all of you here in Sport. When you talk to

129
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: that cop my god, oh my god, those are the

130
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: peabody to that episode. You are one badass. Okay. You

131
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: have the same exact kind of shries that I know

132
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: my mom would have for me. It's something like that

133
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: happened to me. We're living in a horrible time, UM,

134
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: where it is every day mnus and throwing our face

135
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: to black and brown bodies do not matter at all,

136
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: and it's very heartbreaking and discouraging to live in this space.

137
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: By it, I tune in and listen every week. UM,

138
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I hope you find the answers that you're looking for.

139
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: And I'm so grateful for this podcast and that you

140
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: have a group of people that care enough to help

141
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: you in this search. These messages have meant so much

142
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: to Chaparral because not only did we release this podcast

143
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: right at the beginning of the pandemic and and the

144
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: podcast right as conversations around state violence. We're taking hold

145
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: of us yet again. But Chaparral's family experienced another loss.

146
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: One of Courtney's very best friends, Stephen O'to, died back

147
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: in April. He was I'll tell you, this is the

148
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: second hardest thing that I ever had to do. It

149
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: was just such a beautiful day. The sun was shining.

150
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: Steve the sister Kesha, she was crying. I'm like, what's wrong, Kesha,

151
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: And she was, well, they're calling my sisters to tell

152
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: me that Stephen passed away. When it finally hit me

153
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: that Stephen was gone, heart re shattered in a million pieces.

154
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: Courtney and Steve met his kids in cis Row and

155
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: played baseball together. It was funny because Courney, ever since

156
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: he was little, he was super chunky and like he

157
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: was still run fast. He was still like be real active.

158
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: You know. In our league, he would have a whole

159
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: bunch of home runs. Steve was like a son to Chapel.

160
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: In fact, she says now that it's like losing two sons.

161
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: She used to take him in Courtney all over the

162
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: place in her van for sports trips. She threw them

163
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: in eighth grade graduation party. She took them to New York.

164
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: Stephen told us their friendship really took root at a

165
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: school dance party. It was crazy because we're like the

166
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: highlight of it. We're getting all the girls. Everybody was

167
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: getting crowded around us, and it was the Soldier Boy

168
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: had that song, Soldier Boy, and we're doing the dance

169
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: and stuff the dance many Superman. We talked to Steve

170
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: extensively over the last few years. He was one of

171
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: the people who immediately went to the crime scene to

172
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: collect evidence after Courtney was shot. Steve saw skid marks

173
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: and broken glass by the church, and he talked to

174
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: a woman who lived at the corner and heard gunshots.

175
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: In the early days of the case, he was right

176
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: there with Chaparl investigating. We'd like to let this tape

177
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: of Steve play out a little. Producer Bill Healy recorded

178
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: Chaparl and him reminiscing back in Courtney. I had like

179
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: he's like a leader man, and that guy always told

180
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: me like he always tried to push me to do better.

181
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: And what two years, three years, three years Corney hit

182
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: the type of relationship with his friends, like he would

183
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: do anything for his friends. And so with Stephen, he

184
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: was like, my Stephen needs to come stay with us,

185
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: and I was like stap. I was like, okay, well,

186
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: what's cooling on with Stephen? So but he was already

187
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: sneaking Stephen in for like three or four weeks before

188
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: he told me that, and so I was like okay,

189
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: and then he was like, yeah, he's going through something

190
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: and I want to help him. I said, okay, we're

191
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: gonna help Stephen. And so Stephen, he was like, Stephen,

192
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: you gotta finish school, Stephen, you gotta do this. Let's

193
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: go to church, and you know, you try to give

194
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: them the same kind of guidance that you're giving your

195
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: own children. It's just so happened that Stephen stayed with

196
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: us for like, like he said, three years, just about

197
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: all the high school, right, yeah, definitely. And at that

198
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: point for like you know, accepted with the family. And

199
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: then it was like something more to me, like more important.

200
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: It was like a brotherhood that had a family, and

201
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: I haven't already had a family. But you know, it's

202
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: crazy are some people that they're not your family, but

203
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: they care so much for you, you know, and they

204
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: want to do see you do good, Stephen. You also

205
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: got tattoo. Oh yes, I didn't really have that much

206
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: money or whatever, but I went to the casino. I

207
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: was like, man, if I win, it's for Cordney. That

208
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: same week, I was able to win like five hundred bucks,

209
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: and um, right away I went to go get a

210
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: very detailed portrait tattoo of Corney and this picture he

211
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: had actually took with his mom. I picked this one

212
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: because he looked very happy. That's really nice. My guardian angel. Yes,

213
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: his father passed away and he had on his arm

214
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: that that's his guarden angel. I took that from him.

215
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: I made him my guardian angel. Every time I felt

216
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: bad or anything, I just looked down, you know, I

217
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: looked down and I see him right there. So you

218
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: guys got all these tattoos had my back. They tattoo

219
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: buddy at first tattoo. We we got the same tattoo,

220
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: matching tattoos. We got an art on our chest across

221
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: our chest. You know, since we played a lot of

222
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: basketball or whatever, we wrote ball to Life Fall and

223
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: we used that model as like to go hard, you know,

224
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: to go hard to to the very last of you.

225
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: So you recently had a little baby girl. Yes. You know,

226
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: after after what happened to Corny, I was like, man like,

227
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: it made me think about my life. You know, I

228
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: need to get serious and focus, and you know, I

229
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: wanted to start my own family. So you know, I

230
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: was able to just have my baby. She's four months,

231
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, and I know Corney would have been going

232
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: crazy because it will be like, oh, uncle Theo, like

233
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: that was his niece, you know, and it's something that

234
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: I wished he could have seen. You know, that's one

235
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: of the main reasons I decided to have a baby too,

236
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: just to stay more focused and where about my family,

237
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, and sheished them because you never know when

238
