I'm related about it. I'm thrilled. I'm 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.960 only sorry it's not here. Yeah, to be a part 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:06.080 of it. That you know, most of these honorary honor 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.720 honors are going to people who are not here, right, 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:15.640 you know, but I'm sure he would be thrilled for 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:16.480 that reason. 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.880 I am thrilled to myself, Wayne, what does it mean 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:20.120 to you? 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:21.920 I got to ask you the same question, what does 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.800 it mean to you? 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.840 You know what it's it's it's kind of one of 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:35.679 those bittersweet things. I'm on it. It's he's never been 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:41.360 able to experience what we've experienced from his fans. Right, 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.760 the accolades came after his passing, right, he was on 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.840 the custom of doing so much. So it's bittersweet for 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.040 me from that standpoint, but I think it's extremely well deserved. 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.000 And I'm thankful to the Rock and Roll Hall of 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.400 Fame for, you know, saying acknowledging him for his music 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.720 and his art. And you know, it's been a hard 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.760 more fight over these last you know what I'm saying, 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:09.480 twenty four years, So yeah, this is it means a lot, 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.360 and I'm blessed and I'm thankful and grateful that we 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.160 were able to experience this, and more specifically that Miss 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.560 Wallace was able to be here to witness them. 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:19.240 Absolutely. 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.640 Miss Wallace, how does it feel that Biggie is celebrated 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.359 so much? Like even to this Day and Brookland. There's 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.840 murals of Biggie everywhere. Every single restaurant you go into, 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.760 there's a painting hanging hanging up of Christopher Wallace on 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.400 the wall. He has his own street and everything. How 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:37.400 does that feel for you? 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:43.320 A very proud mother, very proud mother. Sad sometimes when 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.760 I see things that brought tears to my eyes. Once again, 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.320 as I said, He's not here to see these things. 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.320 And I'm going to be honest with you, my son 0:02:55.639 --> 0:03:00.679 is being acknowledged in so many entities, so many avenues, 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:08.080 so many programs. Everywhere you turn, there's a Biggie, there's 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:14.320 a notorious. There's this I never knew, and I can 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:21.760 honestly say I never knew that my son was that. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.840 I'm going to use the word famous. I never knew 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.520 because I'm not a rap model. You know, I don't 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:35.280 know anything about rap music. I've learned over the years, 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.920 you know what it is and how to appreciate it. 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:43.040 Now I appreciate it, I really really do. I appreciate 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:47.040 the young men who are trying, you know, who've done it. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:53.640 But that wasn't me because even today I'm trying to 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.200 listen to some of the words what did he say 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:03.800 or well, you know, when he spoke of a s, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:12.120 I thought he was talking about Holloway, I don't know, 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:13.760 but no, I know what it is. 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.000 Now, let me ask a question, now where Pepsi just 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.919 released an unreleased freestyle from Big right now? Are there 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.160 are the unreleased records and verses that you guys might 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.359 know of or something like that. Because this was a surprise, 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.000 this was so long ago, it's like, wow, there might 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.839 be some some verses that's still lingering around. 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:32.200 Yes, it is. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.800 People are holding on to some of those those jewels. 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.680 We just got to get a hold of it. But 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:44.560 most of what the actual state controls and has actually 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.440 access to it is what it is. It's you know 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.240 what I'm saying, It's been exploited. It's been out there 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.440 just Pepsi commercials and you know what I'm saying, in 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.520 the works from ninety seven when it was done, Wow, 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.200 deal just couldn't get done. Then he pounds and then 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.000 it just kind of went and enough just continued to 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.320 fight to make sure that you know what I'm saying, 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.880 that it stayed relevant and the connection with Rob Stone 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.880 over the Cornerstone, him and his team are the ones 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.280 that brought it back to. 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:16.000 Lights, So you know what I'm saying. And at one 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.640 point we couldn't find that take. Oh wow, at one 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:21.920 point we couldn't find it. 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.159 Where did y'all find it? Was it at mister C's house? 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:25.360 Was it at Puff's crib? 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:31.720 Where was it where they enough had a copy of it? Yeah? 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.880 And I think that's that's why it sounds so choppy. 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.240 You know what I'm saying. It was It's not digitized 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:41.800 anything along those lines. So it is the actual raw fact. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:43.159 Ms. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:44.120 Wallace and Wayne. 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.760 You know, as a fan, you know, we sit around 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.119 and we debating the barber shops. When we at the house, 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.080 we talk about the what if You know, it's always 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.240 wonder for the family. How tough for the what ifs? 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:54.960 When you ask yourself, what if he was here? What 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.760 if he did this? How how tough for the what 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:57.640 if is for the family. 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.039 I can't tell about the family, but I can I 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:02.960 can speak about me. 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:04.800 What if he was here? 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:12.800 Maybe I would strangle him. Maybe I would strangle him 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:17.400 because you know some of the some of his associates, 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:22.560 I still want to strangle them. But you know, there's 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.000 a lot of what ifs, and I know he would 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.960 be a happy guy. I know I would be a 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.719 happy mother because he was a He was a good kid, 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.479 he was a nice, nice person. We thought a lot, 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.000 you know, but the makeup was so beautiful. There's so 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:46.120 much apologies behind it. And he, you know, his explanation. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:53.640 He made me understand what he's trying to do, what 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.440 he was trying to say. I still can't take the profanity, 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.599 still can't. I listen to his music. I listened to 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.560 his music, and I said, Jehovah, please help me. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:05.840 You know. 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:10.360 So the what is maybe it would be still fighting, 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:11.960 but it would still be my best friend. 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:13.600 What about you? Wayne? 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.200 The what is for me is more. I think that 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:21.280 he would have elevated the culture hip hop and generally 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.560 he just had a way of bringing the best out 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.640 of people, forcing him to kind of step up just 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:31.320 from a lyrical standpoint musically, and I think given the 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:36.080 dynamics of where we are from a technology standpoint, because 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:40.240 he was so in tune with everything around him and 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.800 always ahead of the curve, that he would have been 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.000 delving into things that kind of opened himself up to 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.040 allow himself to be what these diets have become today, 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.600 Like to Jay's and the Puffs. But from his perspective, 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.360 in his way, and you know what I'm saying. From 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.320 my standpoint, I think that that in itself is the 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.080 what if that always haunts. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.240 I love when I hear people with their really good 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.440 and find memories, people who knew Biggie and worked with him. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:09.560 I was just talking to Method Man and he was 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.520 talking about how he first got introduced to Biggie and 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.480 how they ended up working together and everything. So what 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.520 are some of your favorite stories to hear about your son. 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:27.120 There's a variety of them. They're always loving ones, you know, 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:37.520 and they always spoke about his generosity, his kindness, his patience, 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:44.600 and him wanting to help to make everyone better. You know, 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:50.520 he wants everyone to have something. He wasn't the kind 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.199 of guy who wants to keep it for himself. He 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:58.160 was a sharer. He likes to share. And the respect 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:03.720 that he had for even the friends, their mothers. You know, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.000 they went all out, you know, Miss Wallace, You know 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.240 he did this for me and he did that for 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.680 me things that I never knew. Did you know that 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.760 he helped me here and he helped me there. I 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.760 know it's in his heart. I know that kindness was there, 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:26.400 but I've never experienced it. But knowing he wasn't here, 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.600 and to hear them say, oh, miss Wallace, did you 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.680 know in that shop he bought me that chair in 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.400 the barber shop he bought me that chair? 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:34.800 Wow? 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.960 Did you know he paid my rent for two months? 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:42.400 You know that that was very touching? Wow, very very touching. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.000 Wayne, Do you have any stories you can share in 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:45.920 front of Miss Wallace? 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:49.280 Any fun stories? 0:09:55.320 --> 0:10:04.719 A lot of story point wise, you can get into, Wow. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:07.600 You're really thinking of. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.040 Think of something that I could you know what I'm saying. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.840 It's like, But most of the stories that I have 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:25.840 are generally related to justice humor. But I mean remember 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.000 being in a dice game with him one day in 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.400 the whole way of Daddy's house, and you know, I 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.640 mean there was a bunch of brothers up in there, 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.560 but you know, we're not on the snitch game. So 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:42.680 at the end of the day, he lost, and when 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.640 he lost, he was mad. I mean, oh my goodness, 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.160 he was so mad. And at the end of the 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:48.920 day he put me up in the corner and say, yo, 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.120 you know what I'm saying, I need to hold something 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:56.719 because I need to come back right. So I told him, no, no, 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.800 what do you mean, No, ain't out of one pain? 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:07.400 You ain't. I wasn't paying you. So I game we 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:15.600 needed exactly story. I can't waited. He did not win 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.400 and then told me that I still got to give 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.000 him some more money so he can go ahead and 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:26.680 eat us bus moves? 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:28.959 Did you get the money back? 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.559 He always had this way of bossing up on you. 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.640 It's just, you know, Big was a very humorous guy. 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.040 But I called him a gentle giant. You know what 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:42.000 I mean? This big heart took care of everybody and 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.760 and never ever wave it mm hmm. 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.960 It's just he was miss Wallace even before he became 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.880 became a rapper. Did all the women love him around 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:54.560 the neighborhood? 0:11:54.679 --> 0:12:01.440 Like? Did he always telephone bill?

I told him, look, honey, you gotta get 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:15.920 your own phone. I mean, every one you could think of. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.840 I could tell you a story. One one morning I 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:25.320 was in my bedroom and I heard someone I told 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:31.000 this story already, and the person said, well, excuse my 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:34.920 languages early in the morning, I am not going to 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:45.520 be your second bitch.

It would always be 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.480 a watch tower based on whatever the subject was. 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.840 Oh yeah, oh yeah. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.280 Second honey, that's not the second, that's all the fifth. 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:42.120 Wayne. 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.480 I got a question, how much of your your love 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.120 of hip hop died with Big. 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.360 Wow? For honesty? 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:53.360 Uh? 0:13:53.520 --> 0:14:02.280 None? Actually what died was big for me was the 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:08.120 purity of hip hop? Right, but he represented as far 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.720 as the purity is concerned. But hip hop it's in me, 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.920 It's just it's just who I am. It's what you know, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.280 what I'm saying, I grew up in. But in terms 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.440 of dying with him is definitely a purity I don't 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.880 think that that has been sustained. 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.160 You know with some some of the states, you know, 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:32.000 they they are very fickle when they sign off on music. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:33.960 How are you guys signing off on music? Do you 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.240 pretty much say you know what, we allow it? Or 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:37.880 is it like, no, I gotta hear where it's going. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.400 I got to hear the song. I gotta hear what 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.920 they're talking about. Like, how do you decide if you're 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.480 going to sign off or not? Is it something like, 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.640 you know, Miss Waller says, no, too much profanity, I'm 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:46.520 not signing off on that. 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:46.720 You know. 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.600 How does it work? Well, it's two ways. One she 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.720 does say that a lot, okay, but it is hip hop, 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:56.600 And you know what I'm saying, you have to make 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.200 her understand the business of it. Once you make her 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:03.240 understand the busines of it, then she's okay, I'm okay 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.280 with it. You can go ahead and improve it. There's 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.600 nothing that's come out in the last twenty three years 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.520 that has not been approved by as well. Her is 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.480 have touched to everything. Everything has touched her ears. She's 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:19.120 in every element of the business. So from that standpoint, 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.240 you know what I'm saying, I think that it lends 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.720 us the opportunity to have the sensibilities to do good business. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.160 So for me, I know what works and what doesn't. 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.040 I know what she wouldn't want done and what she 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.320 would want done. So there are a lot of records 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.160 that came through over the years and it's like absolutely not. 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:44.320 Either the record was straight whack or the business wasn't right. 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:48.840 They was selling something that we knew would be detrimental 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.080 to the brand, you know what I mean. So for us, 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.320 it's always about the legacy, and it's always about assuring 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.760 that we stay true to what he would do closer 0:15:58.760 --> 0:15:59.200 as we could. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:15:59.920 Gotcha? 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.880 Is it hard to watch like the Unsolved stories that 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.160 come on and the series and stuff like that that 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:06.640 they've done. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.360 Oh yes, but it's not done yet. We're still fighting, 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.320 you know. It's it's still there. You know, we're not 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:20.200 I'm not going to give up. And I'm sure when 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:24.400 when it comes to c J, he wants justice also 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:25.640 and also his daughter team. 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.200 How you feel when you watch. 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:37.800 Him Unsolved Mysteries? The thing that, to be honest with you, 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:44.200 I watched it and there's some things that went on. 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.800 I knew about it. I told him I wasn't going 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.840 to be a part of it, but I watched it 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:59.000 and I'm glad it was out. I am glad because 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.720 ninety eight percent of it is a truth. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.679 Wow. Wow, that's one of those things that that we 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.719 didn't approve of as a matter to be good. But 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:14.000 the way that they went about it was tacky, right. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.840 They didn't come and ask for permission. It just out there, 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:19.919 you know what I'm saying at the end of the day, 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.320 and I think that was something that was detrimental to 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.520 the family at that point. But it did turn out 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:30.040 to be a good show, so it paid off for them, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.239 of course. But at the end of the day, you know, 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.480 it is what it is. But that's one of those things. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.560 To the point that you asked, as far as the question. 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.760 I've seen something the other days, Follow'm sorry, so. 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:46.920 I said, I lost my train of thought. I lost 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:47.640 my train of thought. 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:49.200 Was it because it envyes Beard? 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:50.359 Stop it? 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.200 I was gonna say, I seen something the other day 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.760 and it kind of bothered me. It was an apartment 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.159 or a condo, or maybe it was a whole they 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.720 were selling in New Jersey and they were selling it 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:04.880 based off of big living there. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.320 What's the name of the street. 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:10.800 I don't remember the name of it. But they were 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.760 saying this apartment they were selling this was the house 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:14.359 of b I g come by the house and they 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.280 were selling it based off of that, And I was like, 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:17.640 is that legal? Can you do that? 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:26.800 It was in it It's very possible. Court, that's what 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:32.320 it was. Yeah, five Ellid Court. Yeah, he knows. 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.120 People do that all the time, Like this person used 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:35.680 to live here. 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.680 You know. They do the same thing in in in 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.480 Brooklyn on same James, the same thing with the Crown. 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:48.520 Yeah, I saw that that crown did get auctioned off, right. 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:51.400 Supposedly. 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.920 How hard is it to heal when when you see 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:59.520 you know, a big, big everywhere, like even this weekend 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:01.080 with the came into the Rock and Roll Hall of 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:04.000 Fame or you know the bio pics that they always 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.600 do the documentaries, Like, how hard is it to heal 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:08.760 when when with all of that? 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:15.119 It saddens me every time every time I see things 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.960 like that. I mean, I'm going to be watching the 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.000 Rock and Roll All of Fame. I've seen you know, 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.159 clips of it, and it touched it touched me, you know. 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:29.520 I cried when when I got the rough cut, especially 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.640 at the end, I really tears. I was going all 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.760 over the place. So every time I see things like that, 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:41.600 it seems like yesterday he was here and I was 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:45.040 talking to him. So it really saddens me. I'm glad 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.720 it's out there, and I'm you know, I'm glad everybody's 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.520 doing what they're doing. I just want them to do 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:57.600 it fairly, and you know the taste, I'm very I'm 0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:58.359 saddened by it. 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:03.720 What about you way, I mean, I've become. 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.960 Numb to it, right, that's not good though. 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.600 I mean when I said I've healed, that is what 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:14.440 I'm saying, Okay, So I become numb to the nuances 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:18.240 of what that represents, right, because it represents something different 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.640 to me because in where I know where I am, 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:25.800 and I know that from a healing standpoint, I'm tapped 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.880 in in a different way. Right, So I'm cool with that. 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.000 I think that the thing that bothers me is the 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:35.960 disrespect that comes with it. Right, you got people out 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:39.840 here that's promoting parties and doing things along those lines, 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:44.480 or creating opportunities and campaigns for themselves, but aren't giving 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.560 back to the foundation, never going back to the kids. 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.560 For me, it's always been about the kids, right and 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.240 Miss Wallace. So from that standpoint, it's like, when you're 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:57.639 doing that and that level of disrespect, now, I'm cool. 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.480 I passed on that. So I've kind of detached myself 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.879 from the emotion so that we can get into the 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:05.760 business of it all. And that's when I get on 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:06.680 my thing. 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.640 What happened with that crown getting auctioned up? Where does 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:11.720 that money go? I know it was like a photographer 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:12.800 or somebody who had. 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.119 It short goes to him. I wish he would do. 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.119 It's something for the foundation. 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:19.520 That would make a lot of sense because that ran 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:21.200 her a lot. 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.600 Well, Baron's a good guy, Baron Clint boy and we 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:25.600 do have a great relationship with him, do a lot 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.119 of business with him, have done a lot of business 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:29.520 over the years. I do see him as the kind 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.120 of brother that will reach out, and he has reached out. 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.639 We just have to talk about what that would look like. 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:39.240 But I don't want anybody to think for a second 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:41.840 that the man is not out there thinking about things 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:46.080 from a state standpoint or from the family standpoint, because 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.720 in the years that I've known him and the years 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:50.879 that we've been doing the business with him. He's always 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:52.560 been that guy, gotcha. 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:54.880 You know when you say that your heal just going 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:55.800 back to the healing thing? 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:59.880 Is healing mean? You know? His his death is something 0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:00.720 that to accept. 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.000 Healing for me is not only accepting you. What I mean, 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:11.720 healing to me is fortifying oneself. Right at the end 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:16.480 of the day, We're all born to die, right, It's 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:20.120 about how you live your life that matters, right, And 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.840 for me, I lived my life upright and on a 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:26.879 square surrounded by a circle. So as I'm concerned my 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:33.119 inner self, I know how to heal way if that 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.960 makes sense, right, and inn healing me, I can comfort others, 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:40.680 you know what I mean. So I've accepted death in 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.080 a different way because I've dealt with so much death 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.880 from childhood to manhood. So at the end of the day, 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.399 it's not something that I'm afraid of. It's not something 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.879 that I'm afraid to discuss. It's not mentally challenging, it's 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:57.240 not emotionally challenging. I'm content, I'm balanced in my life. 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.320 What about you, miss Wilds, Is this something that you've 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:01.440 accepted his death? 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:10.960 It work hard, and because I know death is final 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:17.320 and for him. It's final. I accept it. 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:19.639 But there are. 0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:26.840 Little avenues, little crevices and corners of his death that 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:31.359 I cannot and I will not accept. And I'm saying 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:36.920
