I hear, y'all. I 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: was on every level college, high school, but not wasn't 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: it counting? Not at the pro level. But you know me, 16 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: I ain't gonna talk too much about that, but I 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: am gonna tell y'all what's up with that, dude. Let's 18 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: do it. We had a big practice. We got a 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: big game coming up. From my little itty bitties, my 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: seven year olds, my boys, my Baltimore Ravens are going 21 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles Rams, and these little itty bitty 22 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: Rams are better than the big Rams at least last year, 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: not the year before when they won the Super Bowl, 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: but just the same team that beat us last year. 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: So in two years, we only lost one game this team. 26 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: And we saw that same team in the championship game 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: after they beat us a few weeks earlier, and we 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: got them. So we got them when it mattered, We 29 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: got them when they counted. Now, my guys know those guys. 30 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: They're familiar with them. Even though they changed their jerseys. 31 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: We changed our jerseys. Now it's time to go out 32 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: there and let's get it. And it was good to 33 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: see my kids because I don't lie to them. My kids, 34 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: I always tell them, not gonna lie to y'all. Y'all 35 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna compete. I don't know who told y'all competition is bad, 36 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: keeping scores bad. I was like, they lied to y'all. 37 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: So I got my kids out there competing, and they 38 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: competed in practice. So now I'm scared because they probably 39 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: wasted it all in practice. They look good in practice. 40 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: They beat everybody in practice. But this game's gonna be 41 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: interesting this eight in the morning. My kids, Uh, let's 42 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: just say they like to sleep in. It's gonna be fun. 43 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: No excuses, man, But I got my play calls ready. 44 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: Let's see how these boys respond. I'm pumped for it. 45 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: I was also pumped because my wife came back from 46 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: her trip to Europe excuse her right, left me at 47 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: home with these bad Bay kids. Man. Kids were good though, actually, 48 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: because they had their structure. They had schools, so it 49 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: was simple. Just make sure that they went to bed 50 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: on time, so they would wake up kind of close 51 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: to their on time schedule. But every day it's something different. 52 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: One kid wakes up a little earlier, one kid wakes 53 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: up a little later. And I'm I am so mindful 54 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: of rest because I was a kid that was starved 55 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: the rest. I always thought that, oh I'm good because 56 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: I only need four or five hours. I thought that 57 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: was a blessing. Eh. It came with its curse. I 58 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: couldn't stay healthy because my body never rejuvenated, never recovered. 59 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: So I don't want my kids to get into that. 60 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: Plus the effect your mood, et cetera. You know, your 61 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: brain power all that. So I get I let my 62 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: kids sleep. I do not wake my kids up. And 63 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: if you wake up before all the kids are up, 64 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: you have to be quiet in this house or I 65 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: will get loud in this house. Right, So it's just 66 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: cool that the wife was back. We reunited, Oh yeah, 67 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: and it feels so good. Yes, we did. But she 68 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,559 Speaker 1: came back in great spirits. I guess that vacation obviously relaxation, 69 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: and also going on vacation with a bunch of other women. 70 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: Let's just say, you realize your problems ain't that bad, 71 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: because you know, if you're going on to vacation with 72 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: more than five women, somebody divorced, somebody getting divorced, somebody 73 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: don't want to get married, somebody single, somebody's single. Mama, 74 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: it's like rare to see somebody just like, no, I'm 75 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: just married and got a few kids. Boring, you know. 76 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: So she came back I think a little a little 77 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: more aware and a little more appreciative. How great she 78 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: has it? Damn it now, how great a relationship we 79 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: have as well? Finished it off last night, had some 80 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: fun in the backyard, sipped one, let one go up 81 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: in the air and waved it like I just didn't care, 82 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: and then had a meeting with one of my partners, 83 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: Michael Pierce. That's my dog right there been my friend 84 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: and my neighbor partner, and we discussed this opportunity for 85 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: a beverage company, oh and an endorsement from a beverage 86 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: company and looking forward to seeing how that plays out. 87 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,239 Speaker 1: But that was fun. All right. Let's talk about something 88 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: that was fun on social media, this debate, and I 89 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: gotta jump into it. And you know me, I don't 90 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: jump in first. I don't start nothing, but I'm gonna 91 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: finish it, so I get to topics. Sometimes a little late, 92 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: I get it, but damn it, y'all attention spanning that bad? 93 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: Y'all can't wait a couple of days so I could 94 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: get more facts. I almost liked to season my meet 95 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: and didn't put it back in the fridge and let 96 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: it sit for a couple of days. As long as 97 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't rot. Shoot, it's gonna be better. It's gonna 98 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: be even tastier. Right, you want to rush soon? Something 99 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: come out? Everybody in their car, phones in the car phone, 100 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: everybody and they on their phone in their car just 101 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: talking about the story. Story ain't even broke yet. You 102 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: just heard the headline and you over there just breaking 103 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: it down. I'm like, all right, I need to get 104 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: in that game because I could see why you guys 105 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: do that. It's a lot of response when something first happens, 106 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: but there's also a lot of intelligence if you just wait, 107 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, you know me, I'm gonna go back to 108 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: my colors line. He said, Well, we run down there 109 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: and get one of them. He said, man, let's walk 110 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: down and get them, all right. So I like to 111 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: walk to these stories and get it all right, and 112 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: I never do. I never get it all right. But EBIDK. Williams, 113 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: whoa that bus driver debate? Hey girl, we heard you. 114 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: You wouldn't they a bus driver? So she said that. 115 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: I was like, DJ, cut the music. He's like, noight, 116 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: he did, what are you talking about? Okay, all right, 117 00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: let's get it going. This is interesting because she's had 118 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,119 Speaker 1: that and we heard her. And then the other lady 119 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: tried to give her a life rab but also checked 120 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: her a little bit. So she went into more of 121 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: the mental attributes, more of the spiritual attributes, more of 122 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: the habits of a great husband, a great partner, someone 123 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: to date, and Ebony kind of just went to the 124 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: results and just kind of went to what she really wanted, 125 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: her preferences, and then that went awrise, so that turned 126 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: into her now and she's still on it, this clarification tour, 127 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: and she's been on it ever since. When you step 128 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: in it, just go home and wipe your shoes off 129 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: and wear them again. Do not try and now parade 130 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: around everybody who clowned you, who was looking at your shoes, 131 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: talking trash, and they say, no, look at them, they're clean. 132 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: Now that's not going to work. Let's talk about what 133 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: she's done and what she was thinking. She tried to 134 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: backpedal or broaden her comments into actually black excellence, and 135 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: I'm here to tell everyone the excellence has no different 136 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: racial versions and variations. Excellent is excellent. But I digress, 137 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: and we'll have that conversation another time. But I knew. 138 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, now she into the panda world. 139 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: Now she's over there just trying to Oh, let me 140 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: save myself because I have offended some people. Now, it's 141 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,119 Speaker 1: okay to offend people because if you feel that's your truth, 142 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: that's your truth. But when you go on the clarification tour, 143 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: when you go around and you're trying to clear everything 144 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: up and you're trying to broaden things. Maybe you didn't 145 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: exactly say what you really meant. So let's talk about 146 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: what she said. If you listen to her, this is 147 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: what forever Single sounds like. And that's not to damn her, 148 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: that's not to condemn her, But I just know that's 149 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: the course of the Forever Single. They talk about things 150 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: that are not the main ingredients of a successful relationship. 151 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: And occupation is more important than the occupation. I'll say 152 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: it again. And occupation is more important than the occupation. 153 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,559 Speaker 1: Don't believe me. Let me give it to y'all all 154 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: indigestible ways. James Evans, right, remember good time? Yeah, yeah, Papa, 155 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: James Evans had an occupation, right. He was always looking 156 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: for work, but he found some work and occupation tremendous relationship. 157 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: The occupation is like a Blair Underwood in every damn movie. 158 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: He is, Oh, he always got a good job, he 159 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: always fresh to death, he half the time married, and 160 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: ain't never faithful, right, ain't never happening never in something 161 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: good forever right, So being serious about this, being a 162 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: married man and understanding what was happening here, she has 163 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: now become the poster woman for don't miss the boat 164 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: waiting on the yacht. And I've always said that my homegirls, 165 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: especially the forever single ones, and I could see it 166 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: coming when they were twenty six they were talking now. 167 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: I was like, better changed that tune, change that attitude, 168 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: or else you're gonna be forever single. Don't miss the 169 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: boat waiting on a yacht. And ebidy K Williams is 170 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: sounding like that person. Why because that person thinks that 171 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: the success that money will bring you is going to 172 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: glue a relationship together. No, it's the esteem that you 173 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: have for whatever you're doing that is going to be 174 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: the glue to any relationship. So you don't have to 175 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: make a lot of money. If I were a school teacher, 176 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: like I raised my hand to be, But then my 177 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: other hand was raised as well, saying I'm gonna get bigger, faster, stronger, 178 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: and end up playing in the NFL. But this hand 179 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: was up first. I wanted to be a school teacher. 180 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? On my forty seven thousand dollars 181 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: a year salary, I wouldn't be damned or doomed to 182 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: a lesser relationship. No, not at all. And I understand 183 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: where she was trying to go. She was trying to say, look, 184 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: I want people to aspire to be the best, and 185 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: then in the best that obviously has an equation of 186 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: monetary success or it has a job with reverence and 187 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: high esteem. And she's saying a bus driver that is 188 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: not it. That's a fallback occupation. You did not wake 189 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: up when you were at nine years old and looking 190 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: at the walls and looking at the popcorn ceiling that 191 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: you grew up under, saying ooh, man, once I graduate, 192 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: I want to be a bus driver. She's going there. 193 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: Y'all need to go there too. Now that doesn't mean 194 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: that being a bus driver isn't success, but that doesn't 195 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: mean there's also something you designed and dreamt of as success, right, 196 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: So both things can be right. I didn't dream about this, 197 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: but this is still something that I respect, something that 198 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: I revere, something that is my success. And I tell 199 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: people that all the time because playing football, people just 200 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: think that that is the ultimate level of success. And 201 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, one is not. Because I get a 202 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: check from somebody who is the ultimate level of success. 203 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: If you want to stay in this narrow lens, why 204 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: he pays every single player here and still has enough 205 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: for profit and enough to spend on his grandkids. When 206 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: he sees me, like that guy is even more successful 207 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: to me. But I get it. We're all in that 208 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: top one percent to point one percent, let's say that. 209 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: But we're not the only versions, y'all. We are not 210 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: the only types. Entertainers and athletes and high network people 211 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: are not the only versions of success. Godly, I've been 212 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: broke before, and I understood what happiness looks like then, 213 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: And Godly I got five dollars now, and I still 214 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: know what happiness looks like. And since I have five 215 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: dollars now, I still have marroad old conversations and difficulties 216 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: and arguments and differences like everyone else, no matter how 217 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: about you make. And some would say you got more 218 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: cause you make more. Let me tell you what you do. 219 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: Have more of temptations, opportunities, things you can make happen 220 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: that could undermine your relationship. Yeah, you have more of 221 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: those opportunities. Why because you don't have the same budget. Right, So, 222 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: say you the guy that's cheating and you're making under 223 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars a year, there's a certain point you're 224 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh, we ain't getting the hotel, this time, 225 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: back of this car girl, Right, but if you got 226 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: the dope, you ain't ever thinking about ever going to 227 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: the back of the car or limiting how many times 228 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: you guys hang out because you can't afford it. Right, 229 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: Just simple stuff, simple mathematics, But those mathematics are not 230 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: as simple when it comes to relationships. Look at the 231 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: divorce rate, and the divorce rate is a spread across 232 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: all socioeconomic categories. So I know where she was trying 233 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: to go, but she just didn't get there. And one 234 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: thing I don't like is that we're making this a 235 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: black woman expectation problem. Don't do that to black women. 236 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: Don't do that to her because other races have a 237 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: let's say, smoother or quieter understanding of the dynamic at play, 238 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: and that dynamic is wealth building, and that dynamic is 239 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: different with other races than it is with Black America. 240 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: Be real, Black people in America have the highest poverty rate, right, 241 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 1: So the wealth disparity and the gender disparity within it 242 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: is a consideration along with the education disparity, right with 243 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: black women versus Black men, Like, we ain't gonna go 244 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: into those weeds. But basically that helps you understand that 245 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: she is trying to illuminate what a lot of other 246 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: races already smoothly digests. Right, They smoothly digest that the 247 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: wealth transition in this country. The greatest way to exchange 248 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: wealth in this country is inheritance. Number two is the 249 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: institution of marriage. So partnership matters if you're gonna look 250 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: at it and reverse engineer it in terms of wealth, 251 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: if you're gonna say, Okay, how do I get someone 252 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: to give me some money, Well, the easiest way to 253 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: get money in this country is not to build a business, 254 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: is to have my man daddy say here you go. 255 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: And that's been the number one transmission of wealth. Number 256 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: two is marry somebody who got that right. And she's 257 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: trying to basically say that's what she is in too, 258 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: or that's what she wants for her her preference. She 259 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: should have just said that and stayed there and not 260 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: done anything else. But she ain't listening to your boy. 261 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: Your boy got two rules. I got two rules when 262 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: it comes to this social media. That's why she owned 263 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: this clarification tourd still two rules. One do not respond 264 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: to negative comments and two do not clarify yourself in 265 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: the comments. If not, you don't want to listen to 266 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: those rules, just grab the poisonous rope that you just 267 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: have hung yourself with and forever will be at the 268 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: mercy of those commentings. So that's where she is right now. Man, 269 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy, but I think it's summation. I 270 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: just want her to understand that even if you get 271 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: that dough, you're still gonna need more. He's still gonna 272 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: need way more. And she's a smart lady, she's accomplished. 273 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: I saw she was on the Real Housewives in New York, right, 274 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: I guess I gotta watch that one too. Uh uh man, 275 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: it's sad, man, And that's that sounds like a great resume. 276 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: Now she's on the single mama journey because she I 277 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: saw videos she's a single mother and talking about that. Well, 278 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: I tell y'all, this is whatever single sounds like. And 279 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to change anyone's expectations, anyone's preferences. But 280 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: if you have those, live by them, don't try to 281 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: clear them up. It's okay, and good luck to you. 282 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: Don't miss that boat though, waiting on that yacht. All right, 283 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: let's talk about the Lakers right now. In a good way. 284 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: I always clown the Lakers and I call them fakers. 285 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: But it's just jokes, y'all. I'm like on my Chris Rock. 286 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just jokes. Don't hit me, right, ah man. 287 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: But Jared Vanderbilt, Oh, your cheap faker ass he got 288 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: you got called out here a true faker. Look at this. 289 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: This dude went and bought they say, like three thousand 290 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: dollars worth of clothes something like that, Right, damn. I 291 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: know it could have cost more, but that's still a lot. Dog. 292 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: I busted raider had T shirt and khakis.

He wore the clothes through 296 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: the tunnel and in the post game, and he posted 297 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: pictures of himself wearing them on ig ah. This is 298 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: why thieves always get caught. This is why robbers always 299 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: get caught, oh man, because they just always stay in 300 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: their own thought process. They don't ever look at it 301 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: from the other side, look at it from the victim's 302 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: point of view, right, and then you could cover all 303 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: bases potentially, Hey, if you're gonna do something that's kind 304 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: of like scanless, least cover all bases and let somebody 305 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: else post you so like, oh, I wasn't even trying 306 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: to cause attention.

That's just 322 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: a signal to them, Oh you got some money or 323 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: you care about vanity. Therefore you're gonna spend some money 324 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: wink wink on them or the process of getting to them, 325 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: get team them, right. So I learned young, like I 326 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: used to be the king of taking my shirt off. 327 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: I ain't doing that shit now. Look at me, hurt, 328 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: But before I just take my shirt off in the 329 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: club every time two towels shirt off. Y'all don't believe me. 330 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: Just say that out there in social media world or 331 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: to some old heads and they'd be like, oh WOWY 332 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: was crazy dog. Yes that was me. But at the 333 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: end of the day, my Equifax, my credit score, wasn't 334 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: my clothes. I don't even think it was my looks. 335 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a good looking dude, but I ain't 336 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: a great looking dude. Like I've seen dudes look way 337 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: better than me, not a lot, but I seen them, 338 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 1: all right. It ain't that, you know what it was. 339 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: I just had five dollars in a good resume and 340 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: I was a nice dude. That's all, man. That's this 341 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: shit ain't hard, right, you have five hours. I ain't 342 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: say I was a billionaire, but obviously the more money 343 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: you got, the more women you go on the track 344 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,719 Speaker 1: because all the ratchet's gonna come at you too.

All right, last topic here, my 396 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: boy Jay Williams, Oh, he wants to retire to Mount 397 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: Rushmore topic from Sports Takes. Oh when I heard the 398 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: topic and I said, oh damn, I know where we're going, 399 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: but don't take me there. Sometimes you just don't want 400 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: to go where Captain Obvious is driving you. You're like, 401 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: don't take ah damn, he took me there. All right, 402 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: here's the quote. Can we first off, just stop with 403 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: the Mount Rushmore talk. They're not even the four best 404 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: presidents this country has ever had. Brum, what is Jay 405 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: talking about? That's my dog? But damn it, everyone in 406 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: this room was not even able to vote. Oh okay, 407 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: I just want to say that off the top, that's 408 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: our metric for success, question mark, that's our king. That's 409 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: what Jay Williams said. Now, stephen A I could tell 410 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: he was a little perturbed. He was like, dog, it's 411 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: okay to get off course, but don't go in the weeds, 412 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: don't go in the rough over there for what. Just 413 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: answer the damn question. So he reminded Jay that the 414 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: term is just a metaphor and not an endorsement of 415 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: the presidents who heads are sculpted into the National Memorial Dull. 416 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: But Smith also acknowledged you agree with Williams's overall point. 417 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: That agreement to me sounded more like all right, let's 418 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: move on. And that's the thing about being with co 419 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: hosts or other guest panelists. There's a point where you're like, 420 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: I need to get my point off. So you start 421 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 1: off with your take, they start off with their take. 422 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,479 Speaker 1: Now you can see the disagreement in that, and you 423 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: guys go at it back and forth, volley rally, back 424 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth. Then there's a certain point 425 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: where you're like, okay, they're not understanding me. I'm not 426 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: understanding them. Even if we do, you understand each other, 427 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: we're not agreeing whatever it may be. Do I press 428 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: again or do I just go okay, okay, I concede 429 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: even though I don't agree, I agree to disagree. And 430 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: that's usually like let's move on, right, And sometimes that's contentious, 431 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: but most times it's just like, all right, whatever dog. 432 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: It's basically a big whatever dog. Ain't nobody trying to 433 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: go down there. Ain't nobody trying to talk about that, 434 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: all right, So we all know Jay is not the 435 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: first to kind of go there talking about the Mount 436 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: Rushmore and crowning the best or the elead and when 437 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: we talk about it, jaylen Rose did that also. He 438 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: did it last year he said, can we retire using 439 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore? That should be offensive to all of us, 440 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: especially Native America's indigenous people who were the first people 441 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: here before Christopher Columbus, who in that Wikipedia right now 442 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: and en'cyclopedia. That's not like my third grade project. Four 443 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: American presidents were put on what we call Mount Rushmore 444 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: on top of the dead bodies that is buried right underneath. Amen. 445 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: So I called for you and for myself. I'm owning 446 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: this too, let's stop using the turn Mount Rushmore when 447 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: we're talking about our favorite rappers, talking about our favorite movies, 448 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: talking about our favorite players. Dang right, they ain't wrong, 449 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: They're right. But at the same time, even though they're right, 450 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: I am still going to say Mount Rushmore, I tell 451 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: you why it's not offensive to me. Have you guys 452 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: ever been in these positions where something didn't offend you 453 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: until either someone told you it was offensive or you 454 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: had to read up on the offense, right, and that situation. 455 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: Let's just start in a global sense, like Jada Pinkett 456 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: and Will Smith when they were sitting there at the 457 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: Oscars and when Will Smith laughed at first right, and 458 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: then Jada looked at him like what you don't understand. 459 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: You don't know the context, you're not looking deeper into it. 460 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: You're not offended by that. He got offended. Okay, Now 461 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: that's a dynamic because because of his wife, he's like, 462 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: you always got your back. So if you ain't liking something, 463 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: I don't like it. I get all that part. But 464 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: did you see how he learned in that moment to 465 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: be offended. This Mount Rushmore topic, to me is the 466 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: same way, like we're not gonna change history. We could 467 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: change how history looks. We can obviously talk deeper about 468 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: history and illuminate some things that were forgotten from the past, 469 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: but we're not changing history. It happened, right like, once 470 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: I send this podcast, you ain't changing. It's out there now. 471 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: It's it's a rat. So I am not caught up 472 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: in the symbolism of history because the actual fact of 473 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: the matter and the actual facts and occurrences is enough 474 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: for me. Right. So if Mount Rushmore from Hell, once 475 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: you learn what Mount Rushmore is wasn't offensive, the learned 476 00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: offended the learned offensive statements don't hit me the same, right. Uh, 477 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: Dukes of Hazard comes to mind, right, I grew up 478 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: watching Dukes of Hazard.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, 501 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: but you get the difference. So when you get to 502 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: of age and then all of a sudden you say, 503 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: you know what, we should stop saying Mount Rushmore because 504 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: of what it reflects of yesterday, I'm like, well, one, 505 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: it's not about the best for president, and so we 506 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: already have taken that and made it loose. Right, we're 507 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: trying to say the best and they ain't even say 508 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: the best. But two, what's wrong with it? Oh?
