Speaker 3: thinking about how you feel in real Timmey, you're saying it,
Speaker 3: why do you feel accomplished?
Speaker 4: Patrick?

Speaker 2: punches and just moving forward and just staying with it.
Speaker 4: And I think that's why.

Speaker 3: seeing a growth of yourself. I'm gonna tell you right now,
Speaker 3: the hate be hating, okay, like it be happening. And
Speaker 3: you know what's crazy is I feel like people have
Speaker 3: always said to me, like people want you to do well,
Speaker 3: but they don't want you to do better than them.
Speaker 3: And I ain't never I never felt that, but now
Speaker 3: I kind of see It's like okay, but I also
Speaker 3: feel like too, It's like when you come from that
Speaker 3: mean where it's like I was raised in love, so
Speaker 3: I could never be a hater.
Speaker 4: I show too much love for you to be a hater.
Speaker 4: All of that that like that that should.
Speaker 3: Live with you when you think about your naysayers, your
Speaker 3: daughters and all of that. And for me, I don't
Speaker 3: really sit in that like you might get me. I
Speaker 3: might be mad for a good like day or two,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, But after that, I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 3: bet heards you. Because when you spend that black baby,
Speaker 3: it's gonna cost you. It's bust that you turn. It's
Speaker 3: gonna cost you Okay, like that that fuels me. It
Speaker 3: makes me get creative, it makes me you know it
Speaker 3: just I don't know, it makes me up it. So
Speaker 3: I hope Patrick, that's how you feel. And I'm happy
Speaker 3: that you feel accomplished because you're doing a great job
Speaker 3: and we are learning and doing in road time. But
Speaker 3: the beauty of that too has been we've been able to,
Speaker 3: you know, start showing our process in real time, and
Speaker 3: I think for young creators that are, you know, figuring
Speaker 3: this all out. My platform has always been about transparency.
Speaker 3: It's always been about Yo, I don't got this all
Speaker 3: figured out. I'm moving, I'm grooving. I'm sticking and moving.
Speaker 3: I just happen to be good at what I do.
Speaker 3: So doors are opening, but when I get in those doors,
Speaker 3: a lot of times I'm having to like feel my
Speaker 3: way to the light switch first time, first time, or
Speaker 3: I did that with college, I'm doing it here with
Speaker 3: this you know podcast.
Speaker 4: I'm a new podcaster.
Speaker 3: So we just got the green light officially and kind
Speaker 3: of got our understanding of what our flow should be
Speaker 3: to be able to post videos this same day that
Speaker 3: the audio goes live, which is a game.
Speaker 4: Changer, drop a bomb for the game changers.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we are looking for a backup editor to
Speaker 3: help Patrick out. So if you're in the New York area,
Speaker 3: and yes, I know it can be done digitally, but
Speaker 3: I want someone here in New York. I think because
Speaker 3: of how timely things need to be, how much content
Speaker 3: we're shooting, I need to be able.
Speaker 4: To pull up on you and drop off a hard
Speaker 4: drive if we need to.
Speaker 3: Baby, I ain't trying to, you know what I'm saying, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we are looking for that. But for me, I think
Speaker 3: I'm feeling because I know how i'meeling. I can't put
Speaker 3: it into one word, but I'm feeling like I just
Speaker 3: got back to school all over again. Like I feel
Speaker 3: like I just walked into class homeroom for the first
Speaker 3: time freshman year, first day of school, and I don't
Speaker 3: know if you remember freshman year, high school, freshman year
Speaker 3: of college, that first day you feel so like your
Speaker 3: eyes are so open wide and it's like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: like you're ambitious, you're ready to go, like you're That's
Speaker 3: how I feel. I feel that way because I think
Speaker 3: I've done some pretty cool interviews at this point. We've
Speaker 3: done and we are doing, and there's so much more
Speaker 3: to come, some really fun stuff. But I'm so big
Speaker 3: on like I just want to make sure, like I
Speaker 3: pray to God, like I literally pray that God keeps
Speaker 3: me like in a place of like focus, because as
Speaker 3: the brand grows, there's gonna be a lot of all
Speaker 3: that fun stuff, a lot of the glitz and the glamour.
Speaker 3: But like, for what I do, I have to like
Speaker 3: sit down, do the work. I create newsroom hours for
Speaker 3: myself because I need to do the work. I need
Speaker 3: to call people, I need to watch what's going on
Speaker 3: all that good stuff. So I'm feeling like I just
Speaker 3: checked back into school because I felt myself kind of
Speaker 3: getting too caught up in the brand of brand, the
Speaker 3: brand of brand, and I'm you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: boom bringing on back baby.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: So that's how I'm feeling today. So I think we're
Speaker 3: both feeling really good feelings. Absolutely, let's get on into
Speaker 3: some things today. In the latest, you know, we have
Speaker 3: some updates. You know, your girl love taking y'all of court,
Speaker 3: a lot of take y'all a court. So first on
Speaker 3: the docket, we have to be honest with y'all. This
Speaker 3: is probably one of the most interesting updates that I've
Speaker 3: done on Diddy in some time, and it's not really
Speaker 3: much of an update. So earlier today reporter legal reporter
Speaker 3: Megan Cunif I follow her on Twitter, you should as well.
Speaker 3: She tweeted a document from the court that explained how
Speaker 3: Brian Steele, Young Thug's attorney and we talked about this
Speaker 3: was officially put on record in Diddy's case for Diddy's defense.
Speaker 4: Now, this this is a big deal. When we talked
Speaker 4: about this.
Speaker 3: Last I told you guys, what how big of a
Speaker 3: deal and how great this would be for a puff
Speaker 3: if this were to happen. Basically, that means that a
Speaker 3: judge is saying, Brian Steele has done everything at missions wise,
Speaker 3: so he's legally submitted everything he needed to submit to
Speaker 3: be able to show that he can come and stay
Speaker 3: the night over the attorney's homes in the Southern District
Speaker 3: of New York. So it's called it's something called pro
Speaker 3: hag vice, and that just means that as a non
Speaker 3: local attorney, he's gonna be able to work with the
Speaker 3: other local attorneys in ddd's case to help figure this
Speaker 3: whole thing out and to be able to represent Puff
Speaker 3: big deal here because Brian still is damn good at
Speaker 3: what he does. Okay, but when this document was posted
Speaker 3: by Megan qniv earlier today, I was like, Okay, well
Speaker 3: that's good, but like you could be put on record
Speaker 3: and he could still decide not to go forward. Money
Speaker 3: checks cannot clear, Like, there's a lot of things that
Speaker 3: can prevent you from officially being retained. So I reached
Speaker 3: out to a source close to the situation, was very
Speaker 3: familiar with all the inside workings of these things, who
Speaker 3: confirmed to me that Brian still has been officially retained.
Speaker 3: And when I say officially retained, my next immediate question
Speaker 3: to them was, so is he already working with the
Speaker 3: attorneys like he's clocked in. They made it clear and
Speaker 3: attorney does not do all of this. And when they
Speaker 3: say all of this, they mean go through the process
Speaker 3: of getting cleared admissions wise, so submitting the paperwork and
Speaker 3: having the conversation and the back and forth with the
Speaker 3: court so that the court can say, hey, you're allowed
Speaker 3: to come on over here. Yeah, you can come over here.
Speaker 3: You can sit with us, and here are the rules
Speaker 3: when you sit with us. An attorney does not do
Speaker 3: that unless their plan is to get active the minute
Speaker 3: the first day outside get active. So I'm told that
Speaker 3: Brian still has already been strategizing with Puff's team since
Speaker 3: the moment he was cleared admissions wise. Now, Puff does
Speaker 3: have a court case today Friday. In court, they're going
Speaker 3: to be having enough couple of conversations. They're going to
Speaker 3: be talking about whether his case is able to be
Speaker 3: pushed out two months or not. If not, he goes
Speaker 3: to court in a few weeks, they're going to be
Speaker 3: able to talk about, you know, this Cassie video and
Speaker 3: whether this video is going to be able to be
Speaker 3: used in court as evidence or not. They're still hung
Speaker 3: up on that because what Puff's team is saying is
Speaker 3: that the video. They're still arguing that the video was
Speaker 3: like distorted, it was an edited version, you know, all.
Speaker 4: Of those things.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the prosecution is saying, no, CNN had an original
Speaker 3: copy of this video, which is what we use. Puff's
Speaker 3: team is saying, well, bring in a specialist. Let's have
Speaker 3: someone go through and look at this video. So all
Speaker 3: of those things are gonna be talked about in court, right,
Speaker 3: So my next question was, well, is Brian still gonna
Speaker 3: be in court on Friday they could not answer that
Speaker 3: question for me. But Brian still does not show up
Speaker 3: to court because what I predict what happened is that
Speaker 3: Puff's team is gonna get granted more time, so they'll
Speaker 3: get those two months to prepare their case, and in
Speaker 3: preparing their case, Brian still will really hone in, get
Speaker 3: way more familiar, and then he'll pop out after that period.
Speaker 3: I also predict that he's gonna kind of lead strategy
Speaker 3: within this, but I.
Speaker 4: Couldn't confirm that.
Speaker 3: I did try and confirm that and couldn't confirm that,
Speaker 3: but it would make so much sense, especially after what
Speaker 3: we just saw him do with Young Dub. I also
Speaker 3: did too acts if you know, if there was any
Speaker 3: response from Puff, how is Diddy feeling about Brian still
Speaker 3: being brought onto this case. Did not get an answer
Speaker 3: to that, but I will have that answer for you guys.
Speaker 3: But I can say that I was told that the
Speaker 3: team themselves, you know, the full legal team, it's super excited,
Speaker 3: and that Brian still after you know, being briefed on everything,
Speaker 3: kind of you know, just just a bit in order
Speaker 3: enough to know if he wanted to take the case
Speaker 3: or not. He is very optimistic that Puff is.
Speaker 4: Going to be a free man. And that's a big statement.
Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about predictions real quick when it comes
Speaker 3: to what I think Brian Steele will lean in on
Speaker 3: and you know what the strategy will be. But specifically
Speaker 3: for him, I think one of the things I mentioned
Speaker 3: this in the last episode will be the the you know,
Speaker 3: the no evidence presented. But I think the way that
Speaker 3: he's going to do it is instead of being like,
Speaker 3: there's no evidence, there's no evidence, there's no evidence, it's
Speaker 3: going to be like his rights were violated. He was
Speaker 3: put through ABC and D as a high profile man,
Speaker 3: a wealthy man, like you know what I'm saying, and
Speaker 3: because of that, here's everything he lost, here's everything that
Speaker 3: was damaged, and there was no evidence presented this whole time.
Speaker 3: I think Brian Steell is really good at making the
Speaker 3: people that he represents look like human beings.
Speaker 4: But I think that that's one of the things he's
Speaker 4: going to try and do.
Speaker 3: I also think that he's going to really hone in
Speaker 3: on this Cassie video. I think that he is going to,
Speaker 3: you know, just again make it a point of Okay.
Speaker 4: We saw the video.
Speaker 3: My client has apologized, but that has He's not being
Speaker 3: charged for what we saw in this video. And I
Speaker 3: think Puff's attorneys tried to do that. Mark Agnefilio tried
Speaker 3: to do that in the beginning, but he wasn't successful
Speaker 3: at it, and I think it's because his approach in
Speaker 3: the court it just wasn't strong, like you didn't even
Speaker 3: believe him. And I also feel like Puff was advised
Speaker 3: wrong from the beginning on that video when it came
Speaker 3: to like him acting like it didn't happen, you know,
Speaker 3: the way that.
Speaker 4: The apology was set up.
Speaker 3: So this will be a fresh start to build a
Speaker 3: different narrative around that video.
Speaker 4: Now, don't get me wrong, that video is so disgusting.
Speaker 3: I don't know how it will happen, but I think
Speaker 3: because of the attorney that I know Brian still to be,
Speaker 3: he's going to not try and minimalize what we see
Speaker 3: at all. He's going to make sure that Puff knows
Speaker 3: he needs to be very empathetic about what we see.
Speaker 3: He's going to make sure that the court understands that
Speaker 3: Diddy's team understands what they saw. And it's also very
Speaker 3: empathetic to that because it did not come off that way.
Speaker 3: It came off as this man who was super powerful
Speaker 3: and super rich who does not care about anything, and
Speaker 3: his team is following right behind him. When it comes
Speaker 3: to that. Brian still is damn good. But baby, he
Speaker 3: got his work cut out for him. If he is
Speaker 3: able to clear Diddy in this case, this will probably
Speaker 3: be one of the biggest he got off since OJ Simpson.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about that online. Y'all tweet me about that.
Speaker 3: Instagram me about that. How do y'all feel? Next topic,
Speaker 3: Drake's legal team is using the biggest stage known period
Speaker 3: as their best witness in this whole defamation lawsuit against
Speaker 3: Universal Music Group. So Drake filed a complaint a while back,
Speaker 3: and just twenty four maybe forty eight hours ago, Drake
Speaker 3: amended that complaint. Drake points at the fact that this
Speaker 3: Super Bowl halftime where Kendrick Lamar performed, was one of
Speaker 3: the most viewed halftime shows of all time, with over
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty three million people watching across platforms too, television, streaming,
Speaker 3: you know, anywhere you could get it.
Speaker 4: The people was eating it up.
Speaker 3: They called this Super Bowl performance an assassination of character
Speaker 3: of another artist, and the reason why and how they're
Speaker 3: positioning it is actually really smart I think Drake is
Speaker 3: on to something with this one. I don't think it's
Speaker 3: going to change the way people view him and his
Speaker 3: people think he's a whiny baby. Is giving light skin
Speaker 3: real quick, like that's how people feel about this. I
Speaker 3: don't think it'll change that, but eagerly I think he's
Speaker 3: onto something. So what he's saying is that So what
Speaker 3: he's saying is that because Kendrick Lamar had to not
Speaker 3: say pedophile on the super Bowl stage, there's no way
Speaker 3: that these brands involved cannot say that's the feminatory. There
Speaker 3: are multiple brands, Like when you make the decision to
Speaker 3: perform the super Bowl, there's a ton of different people
Speaker 3: who like help you decide things. This is something that
Speaker 3: has been happening with the super Bowl for years and
Speaker 3: years and years where the week of, almost I believe
Speaker 3: it's a day of, they do run through a performances,
Speaker 3: They check set list, they you know.
Speaker 4: What I mean.
Speaker 3: They want to make sure that legally everything complies. So
Speaker 3: Drake's attorneys were really smart and basically saying, hey, wait,
Speaker 3: so y'all saying that this man can't say this on
Speaker 3: y'all stage. He can't put y'all in harms way or
Speaker 3: in danger. But he can say it on a song.
Speaker 3: Kendrick Lamar can say this on the song and y'all
Speaker 3: gonna push it and y'all gonna promote it. And when
Speaker 3: we say to y'all at oh, you know, Drake's house
Speaker 3: was shot up and they're leg that it was because
Speaker 3: of the song, or when they mentioned Drake had to
Speaker 3: take his son out of school because he didn't feel
Speaker 3: like it was safe, or he had to move his
Speaker 3: baby mom's out of where she was staying because he
Speaker 3: didn't feel like it was safe, all of these things
Speaker 3: because of a song that claims something.
Speaker 4: Allegedly.
Speaker 3: It's like, y'all don't know what I'm talking about. I'm
Speaker 3: just upset that I lost a rat battle. But I
Speaker 3: would go as far as to say even Kendrick Lamar,
Speaker 3: Kendrick Lamar made a very obvious choice not to say that.
Speaker 4: He teased it, you're.
Speaker 3: Really gonna do it, You're really gonna do like he
Speaker 3: knew you know what I'm saying, But he didn't say
Speaker 3: the word. He didn't say the word pedophile. Everybody was
Speaker 3: tipt on because they didn't want to end up in lawsuits.
Speaker 3: And I think what Drake's team is trying to say
Speaker 3: is hmm, I wonder why I think Drake is on and.
Speaker 4: Something with this one.
Speaker 3: But yes, so our next story we still in court,
Speaker 3: I promise y'all. We almost off the docket. Okay, the
Speaker 3: updates are almost done, done doone. Our third topic is Meg,
Speaker 3: because Meg thea Stallion wants Tory Lanes to get in
Speaker 3: trouble again.
Speaker 4: Okay, Megan is not playing with Tory Lanes.
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is like a calculated like
Speaker 3: eventually he's gonna run out of money for attorneys and
Speaker 3: can't fight back and he's gonna sit down and be
Speaker 3: quiet soon, or if you know, legally they're just like
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's her. She got one of the biggest,
Speaker 3: baddest teams, you know what I'm saying, Like she coming
Speaker 3: out the rock Nation gates and swinging. But yeah, she
Speaker 3: wants them to get in trouble again. And I'm all,
Speaker 3: key not mad at this one. Today. I need to
Speaker 3: have a conversation with y'all about conduct and a deposition. Okay,
Speaker 3: So a deposition is when you know you're sat down
Speaker 3: by attorneys from the opposing side, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: So the ops their attorneys sit you down, y'all have
Speaker 3: a conversation. They ask you some questions because they're trying
Speaker 3: to get more information. The information that they get a
Speaker 3: lot of it sometimes can be used as evidence. It
Speaker 3: can be used as a way for them to strategize,
Speaker 3: like it's just you're laying everything out on the table,
Speaker 3: y'all basically coming to each other as a woman, okay
Speaker 3: with the receipts. So, when that conversation happened with Tory
Speaker 3: Lanes and Megda Sillion's attorneys, because megde Stallion had asked
Speaker 3: for Tory Lane to be deposed while he is locked up,
Speaker 3: while he's still incarcerated in the lawsuit that she has
Speaker 3: against a blogger who she claims that famed her because
Speaker 3: this blogger was allegedly paid by Tory Lanes to do so.
Speaker 3: The judge said, okay, he can be deposed, they can
Speaker 3: have the conversation. But baby megda science team to file
Speaker 3: something that said when they got there and they started
Speaker 3: doing it, it was insane. They described Tory Lane's deposition
Speaker 3: as disruptive, inflammatory, and inconsistent. They said in the documents
Speaker 3: that it was so bad that even Tory Lane's counsel
Speaker 3: had to disavow the deposition. So what they're saying is
Speaker 3: that even his ley with counsel was like, yo, bro,
Speaker 3: come on, dog, you're tripping. So because of this team
Speaker 3: was like, okay, Judge, we want to put y'all on
Speaker 3: notice that this is what happened. We mated our money,
Speaker 3: we wasted our time, and because we wasted our money
Speaker 3: in our time, he should be held in contempt of court.
Speaker 3: So let us know why we shouldn't feel like that
Speaker 3: and why we shouldn't move forward with pressing for that
Speaker 3: to happen from you guys, from the judge, like from
Speaker 3: the court.
Speaker 4: So the judge is like, okay, taking a look at it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, based on everything I'm seeing here, let's move forward
Speaker 3: with this. I'm gonna allow for you guys to put
Speaker 3: this on record in the court. I'm gonna give Tory
Speaker 3: Lane some time. So Tory Lane has until April thirty,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, So a few weeks from now, about
Speaker 3: like two weeks from now, to come back and say no,
Speaker 3: I wasn't in contempt of court.
Speaker 4: Here's what actually happened.
Speaker 3: But baby, one thing the court don't play about is
Speaker 3: you wasting their time, their money, their resources, and you
Speaker 3: just being very like, do you know who I am?
Speaker 3: I could do what I want. They gonna make an
Speaker 3: example out of you every single time. Now, I will
Speaker 3: say I have reached out to Tory Lanez's team to
Speaker 3: see if there would be, you know, just any clarity
Speaker 3: on this from their side of it, and I was
Speaker 3: not providing anything. I did let them know that I
Speaker 3: was gonna be doing this podcast episode, I was gonna
Speaker 3: be talking about this, and I would love to have
Speaker 3: presented both sides, but we don't know from Tory Lane's
Speaker 3: side what was said what wasn't said at all. Now,
Speaker 3: if Tory Lanez is found in contempt of court for
Speaker 3: you know, these alleged actions today or the alleged these
Speaker 3: alleged actions this week in the deposition, what will happen
Speaker 3: is is, uh Meg, the science team wants Tory lane
Speaker 3: to have to pay for their attorney, their attorney fees
Speaker 3: and basically like everything they had to come out of
Speaker 3: pocket to make this happen. They like, tore you owe
Speaker 3: us money, run us our coin, No Wood and Nichols,
Speaker 3: run us our coin. And then they're gonna come back
Speaker 3: and do it again, and the second time though, they're
Speaker 3: not gonna have her team deposing him.
Speaker 4: They're like, let's get a special Master of the court.
Speaker 4: Special Master.
Speaker 3: I looked it up because I'm like, what is the
Speaker 3: special Master of the court, But I figured it was
Speaker 3: like kind of like a mediator, which it is basically
Speaker 3: a special master. Of course, an appointed neutral party. It's
Speaker 3: often an attorney or retired judge who assists a judge
Speaker 3: with specific task in a case, such as resolving different disputes,
Speaker 3: gathering evidence, or making recommendations. They are essentially a judge's
Speaker 3: helper who can perform tasks that would rather otherwise overburden
Speaker 3: a judge. So this is just a person that can
Speaker 3: come in a neutral party. So that way, you know,
Speaker 3: if if Tory felt like, you know, what he was
Speaker 3: being asked, or the conversation that was happening was very
Speaker 3: one sided, or whatever whatever made him respond to what
Speaker 3: they're a legend he did, this neutral party is basically
Speaker 3: supposed to make it where he don't feel like that
Speaker 3: and he don't go through that again because this person
Speaker 3: has no ties to either person.
Speaker 4: So hopefully second time's a charm. What we take away
Speaker 4: from this episode long It's a lot.
Speaker 3: Of information to download, y'all. I know, but I think
Speaker 3: you know you could take away that things are moving.
Speaker 3: But for me, one of the things that I've been
Speaker 3: feeling because things are moving, and we talked about this
Speaker 3: in Alive and if you with Charlotte may make sure
Speaker 3: you go check that out on the YouTube channel. I
Speaker 3: keep plugging it because it is such a good convo.
Speaker 3: It's just the pivot, the art of the pivot, and
Speaker 3: when things are moving like this, you know just how
Speaker 3: it feels and what you remember and what you tell yourself.
Speaker 3: And for me, what I've been telling myself is, Lauren,
Speaker 3: never stop talking to your younger self. Never stop talking
Speaker 3: to your younger self, Lauren, because the minute you stop
Speaker 3: talking to your younger self, you are going to tap
Speaker 3: out of that. Like innocent, I really want to, you know,
Speaker 3: do the work. I want to do good work. I
Speaker 3: want to do good period. Like don't let these things
Speaker 3: take you because they will.
Speaker 4: Be outside.
Speaker 3: We outside, we outside outside. I tweeted out what conversations
Speaker 3: are you having with your younger self right now? And
Speaker 3: y'all went off. We almost had like one hundred thousand
Speaker 3: views on this tweet. So the each hero said, my
Speaker 3: younger self never imagined I be here. I would tell
Speaker 3: her to enjoy life more, let life flow and to
Speaker 3: trust her intuition, and she'll be fine.
Speaker 4: Baby.
Speaker 3: I have that conversation with myself all the time, like
Speaker 3: if I could only tell my younger self, girl, baby girl,
Speaker 3: baby girl like girl like you like, oh ah, baby girl,
Speaker 3: Like what y'all know what I'm saying, specially the black
Speaker 3: girls listening. It's like, I don't gotta say much. Y'all
Speaker 3: just understand what I'm saying because y'all know we speak
Speaker 3: through like h through like feeling. Another person tweeting I
Speaker 3: thought that this one. I was like, wow, man, it's
Speaker 3: just opinion, said, explaining to my younger self that the
Speaker 3: choices my mom made weren't poor. After all, the choices
Speaker 3: made were guided through the experience of addiction. It's okay
Speaker 3: to forgive those traumas experience because she couldn't help herself,
Speaker 3: let alone me.
Speaker 4: That was deep. Jim Liz Keaton said.
Speaker 3: The conversation that she's having with her younger self right
Speaker 3: now is you did everything you said you were going
Speaker 3: to do, put that anxiety, put that in. You did
Speaker 3: everything you said you were going to do. Put that
Speaker 3: anxiety to the back and relax. We were doing cartwheels
Speaker 3: in the park. Now, baby, I felt that on a
Speaker 3: spiritual level, bringing the church temper rines and a shot.
Speaker 4: Abu said, oooh ooh, ooh, y'd when.
Speaker 3: I tell you, I felt that, like I think when
Speaker 3: you're ambitious and you know you want certain things for
Speaker 3: yourself and you've been exposed to more, I think you
Speaker 3: get so like, oh my god, am I doing this right?
Speaker 4: And my this and my dad? Is it gonna work out?
Speaker 4: Is it gonna?
Speaker 3: But it's like now looking back, I would tell my
Speaker 3: younger self, and today I still talk to my younger
Speaker 3: self just I said, stay motivated. But I talk to
Speaker 3: my younger self just about forgiving myself for not understanding
Speaker 3: that I was hurt all along and like I had
Speaker 3: what it took all along. I think that like you
Speaker 3: cosplay right, like you do good things, and people hype
Speaker 3: you up, and people you know, the people around you
Speaker 3: love you and they fill you up. Like I was
Speaker 3: raised in so much love. I never felt anything else
Speaker 3: but that. So I never felt inadequate, and I never
Speaker 3: operated from a space of inadequacy. But there were times
Speaker 3: where I was like, Man, if this don't work, then
Speaker 3: what And I told you at the beginning of the episode,
Speaker 3: because we still in the streets in the tweets. We're
Speaker 3: still in the streets in the tweets right now. I
