I don't want to talk about the Magical Negro. 54 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's been heavy on me. I'm gonna keep 55 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: talking about, you know, folks that are losing their jobs. 56 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna keep talking about you know, three hundred thousand 57 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: people that are gonna be impacted. Guys. I have to 58 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: do it. I have to talk about it because I 59 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: don't feel like people are talking about it enough. I 60 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: think there's a lot, you know, and well, let me 61 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: not say talking about it enough. We don't have enough 62 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: people who give damn to talk about it. To be 63 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: quite honest with you. So the few people who are 64 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: advocating for different things like the Target Fast and the 65 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: unions and all of that, people are stretched and so 66 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: we can't all do the same thing. We all have 67 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: to do something different. Shut out to Pastor Bryant. They're 68 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: focusing on, you know, the target fast and that does 69 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: deal with employees as well. I'm gonna go to his church, 70 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: I believe, somewhere around Easter weekend or Easter week preceding that. 71 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: I don't know the date, but I'm gonna go there 72 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: and actually work with those federal workers, you know, talk 73 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: to them about transitioning our skills, resume writing, all that stuff. 74 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: For those that don't know, I worked at the first 75 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: and third largest staffing firm in the world, A Deco 76 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: and thank you Sylvia A Deco and Robert have and 77 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: I own my own staff and firm, and so I 78 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: want to give my gifts on what I have in 79 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: that area, and I want to interview those folks. I 80 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: think it's important people here directly from the source, you know, 81 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: of what they're actually going through. And there's a huge disconnect, 82 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: a huge disconnect, guys, between the what's actually happening happening, 83 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: and the people who are talking on their behalf. But 84 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: I made a post today about student debt, and don't 85 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: I know Marcella saw it because I went live. I 86 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: made a post of that about student debt and the 87 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: Trump administration now canceling the income deferment option, and I 88 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to really dig and get down 89 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: to it, So don't hope. I don't want to get 90 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: too much in the details because I don't want to 91 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: be inaccurate about anything. But the bottom line is they 92 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: have either cut off these options for people to reapply 93 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: or will be or there's something some type of tampering 94 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: that is going to happen with income debt, the income debt, 95 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: the income deferment option, and what that means for people 96 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: that don't know. People that went to college have a 97 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: a loan, they can set up a payment plan, you know, 98 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: based upon on their income. So it's not that people 99 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: are not This is not for this is not the 100 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: debt asking for debt complete debt relief. This is for 101 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: those that are saying, I want to make a payment 102 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: based up on my income so that I don't default 103 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: so it doesn't mess up, you know, my credit. So, uh, 104 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: there's some type of tampering that's happening with that, and 105 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be honest about it. And I see 106 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: somebody in the weaving room stay right there. We want 107 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: to keep We want to bring you in the conversation.

We got Terror as a guest. 111 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us. There is a what I'm 112 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: learning is well not what i'm learning I've been knowing. 113 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call it out for us. Remember guys, 114 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: when there was that college debt conversation and everybody was like, 115 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, well, you know y'all should just pay all 116 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: bills or it ain't no point in having no degree, 117 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: And uh, you y'all learning in real time. There's a 118 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: real reason, y'all Tell if I'm wrong. There's a real 119 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, resentment, ain't frustration, maybe lack of information 120 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: not across the board, but I see it. And I 121 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: see it even in the comments today on the post 122 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: that I make about how you don't need a college 123 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: degree and you should be able to just go get 124 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: a skill. And so I want to tap into that 125 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: tonight and I want to hear I want to do 126 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: less talking and I want to hear y'all feedback on it. 127 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: That when I was trying to explain, and I don't 128 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: know if your brother or sister, sir ma'am or whatever, 129 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: because of course he don't have his full name, you 130 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: don't have his pitch up, don't have us. I don't 131 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: know who I'm talking to, a bot or whoever. But 132 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: the person in the comments I was saying, it's not 133 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: that we you know what I'm saying, You could just 134 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: read books. You don't need to ed, you don't need 135 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: to go get a formal education. Well, I've hired thousands 136 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: of people, or Robert having a deck on not one 137 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: time Cliff when the client said they must have a degree. 138 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: Have I been able to say, well, you know, he 139 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: got a lot of book reports won or saint ain't 140 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: cutting it. And I think there's a I know there 141 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: is they Most people think that somebody would have agreed. 142 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: It's not saying we don't think you can learn something else, 143 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: or that the information and you don't have as valuable, 144 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: or that you don't learn more outside the classroom. I'm 145 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: pretty sure that most of us that win in God 146 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: our bachelor. I got my bachelor's, my master's, I'm in 147 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: school now for my second master on the way to 148 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: my PhD. It's not that we don't think there's other 149 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: things to learn outside. It's about checking the box. It's 150 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: about checking the box because the box that is working 151 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: against you, that is already working against you. Shout out 152 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: to Jazzy. No, I thought that was my nurse. Shout 153 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: out you though, Jazzy too. The box that is working 154 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: against you automatically when you walk into the room is black. 155 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: And for me, gender black and gender sometimes both work 156 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: against me. Sometimes you know it might be one of 157 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: the other. But one thing I can tell you, it 158 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: usually ain't working in my faith. It's usually not working 159 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: in my favor unless I'm walking into a black organization. 160 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: Which is why it's important to me to be all 161 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: black with Revote News. Why it's important to be with 162 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: all black. You know, iHeart radio black black pic podcasts work. 163 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: But when we're walking in the room, we are all 164 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: ready coming in with two boxes against us, or one 165 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: at the very least. So people with degrees are not saying, oh, 166 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: you can't learn nothing else. What we're saying is they 167 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: already have a system designed to put us out. So 168 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm trying to check every box that I possibly can. 169 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: And on a lot of jobs, like my girlfriend works 170 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: on job, works in a legal department, she can't go 171 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: to the next level supervisor with that a degree. They 172 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: don't give down what the degree is in. They just 173 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: need a degree. So when I hear people say, well, 174 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: you don't need a degree for most jobs, you don't. 175 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: Everybody don't want to be certified in something. Everybody doesn't 176 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: want to have a skill. But I want to just 177 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: a skill, lonely job. But I want to point this 178 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: out because I think there's really some mis confusion at 179 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: this and I'm gonna give it to you and clip 180 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: marcells after this. There's really some confusion for some reason. 181 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: Y'all start thinking people with degrees don't have skills one 182 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: or the other, like you're thinking, oh, you need no 183 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Let me be clear.

I've been 339 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 5: able to make my own path because I'm in a 340 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 5: very niche market we were talking about earlier.

And the rapture. That's why 695 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: I told y'all in definitely until our the notice. When 696 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: this horn go off, you better be ready. I'm like 697 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: the rapture. The Bible says you're gonna hear one time, 698 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: then say nothing about the times. Did it say something 699 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: about two times? But I know they not a believer it, 700 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: so they ain't got to worry about it. That's about 701 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: two times. We can't meet up. Can't wait to meet 702 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: you too, Chris. But did it say something about two 703 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: times or one time? Because I thought I said one time? 704 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: Did it take. 705 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 2: The horn? 706 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: That's some time. I'm blowing the horn and we ain't 707 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: coming back no second time. This is it. Whoever ready ready, 708 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: whoever gonna get left, gonta get left cause you're gonna 709 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: get us killed. Yeah, huggle on the block and coming 710 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: back for you gonna get us killed. So we're moving 711 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: forward now this town hall with these one hundred and 712 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: something because it's one hundred guaranteed tickets. I don't want 713 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: to oversell because banking seafood is a smaller place. So 714 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: I want to make sure we got you know, guaranteed folks, 715 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: and you can always count on maybe fifteen though they 716 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: pay the tickets advance, you know, fifteen may not show 717 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: up because of this or that or is you know, 718 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: something happened, and so there'll still be some opportunity for 719 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: you to get at the door. But I believe we 720 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: can still hold about one hundred and fifty. But I 721 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,240 Speaker 1: didn't want to oversell it, you know, because then people 722 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: be upset they paid for a ticket. Now some people 723 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: give y'all tip organizing tip because those I'm gonna do 724 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: those training too. Don't never go with what they sell. 725 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: Say the capacity is all what. Don't be greedy and 726 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 1: try to oversell no tickets and then you got people 727 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 1: sitting outside who can't get in. I learned that at 728 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: nineteen that my first swim party, twenty five hundred people 729 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: showed up and I thought it was gonna be a 730 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 1: party for two hundred. So always under sell, always consider 731 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 1: because my post I was like, oh, no, people gonna 732 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 1: show up and this is comedyin't gonn want to waste 733 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: their money. I said, no, Y yn't understand organizing. It's different. 734 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: People show over foolishness. That's why I got foolishness in it, 735 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: got the comedy, the shots, the DJ. But people will 736 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: they'll just solve no big deal, whether they pay for 737 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: it or not. And you have to always account for 738 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: emergency or you know, different things like that. So you 739 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: always want to have your numbers down. You know, you 740 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: always want to say okay, ten or fifteen, ten percent, 741 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,919 Speaker 1: cut off ten percent, just like in a relationship, count 742 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: on ten percent of that person not being who they 743 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: say they are. I wish I had somebody didn't know 744 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: what I was talking about. Well, yeah, those are things, 745 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, little tips.

No, it 778 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: costs money to run a restaurant. Restaurant is one of 779 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: the hardest business runs, the least profitable, and the quickest 780 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 1: to go out of business. 781 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 782 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, And they fought a lot to get that open 783 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: over there in that area because they're trying to regentify 784 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: that area. So they fall a lot. Shout out to 785 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: the mayor's office that made that happen. So definitely come 786 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: to the town. So I can't do that in every city, guys, 787 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: because it just requires a lot. You know when people say, 788 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 1: well you can just come to this building. No, it's 789 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: not about me come to a building. If I do 790 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: a live event, we want every We want several sectors 791 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: to win, you know. We want to have vendors and 792 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: have some stuff to sell or promote. We want to 793 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: have a business that's gaining something from it. We want 794 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 1: to have some talent. Like when somebody said, who needs music? 795 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: I love music, Dana. I love music. That's how I heal. 796 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 1: I heal through music. It makes me feel good. I 797 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: am a music lover. So it's great to have a 798 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: community conversation. But after that, yes, I love music is 799 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: very important to my soul, and so that's how that's 800 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: how I find balance. But I do get your point. 801 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: But I can't just come to a city just to 802 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: sit up and look at y'all in the room. If 803 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 1: I come to a city, we want to make sure 804 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: you know that that event is blessing several people. The 805 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: comedians get something in their pocket, the DJ gets something 806 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: in their pocket, a restaurant gets something they pop. You know, 807 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: those are the things to me that make it fruitful. 808 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: If not, we can just go virtual, you know, and 809 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: go online and twenty people can show up, and that's 810 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: enough for me. You know, twenty twenty five people on 811 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 1: twiny turn of five people show up, that's enough for me. 812 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 1: So that's how that's gonna be, guys, because I just can't. 813 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 1: I thought I could really do this tour, but I've learned. 814 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: Even as much love as Atlanta has for me, it 815 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 1: literally took ninety days I started marketing ninety days ago 816 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,839 Speaker 1: to get this room packed and we are two weeks out. 817 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: So it takes a lot of work. And that's why 818 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people get in this and then get 819 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: out of it because once you start seeing how you 820 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: know how rigorous it is. Y'all hear me going lie 821 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: every day.

I'm doing it like it is 824 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: a constant grind. So I don't want to do that 825 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: and then have to cancel an event. Like somebody asks 826 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: you coming to Houston. No, I can't come to Houston. 827 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: The response wasn't the end. The interest, I would say, 828 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: wasn't big enough. And it's sad because Houston is the 829 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: fourth largest city in the country.

Whether 890 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: you like Charlet Mane or not, I don't like them. 891 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: On most days, that's fine. I like it nobody. This 892 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 1: is about him having a vision to have a black 893 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: to have a relationship with. iHeart to say, give the 894 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: black folks a corner of the room. Fifteen creators and 895 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: I was one of the first. So if we're not 896 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: subscribing to the podcast and then it's time to re 897 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: up the deal. We got one billion views, by the way, 898 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: like that podcasts network, all of us can bind. That's 899 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:10,840 Speaker 1: called what Yeah, all of us can bind a billion views. 900 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 1: So now they take that and say, here's a billion 901 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,760 Speaker 1: views advertising. What you're gonna do with it? Charlemagne was wise, 902 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: y'all say what y'all want to say. But there was 903 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: another podcast person that's all that he that he rivals with, 904 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 1: that started his network and we ain't heard nothing from it.
