Speaker 1: the episode where Jet and I went on his bro Mitzvah.

6
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: The reason why it's my favorite is because one I

00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: had a chance to experience something really really amazing with

00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: North Philly, like I never imagined that I would be

11
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: able to even do something like this, but we went

12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: to Paris, we went to Botswana on two separate safaris,

13
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: one in the Kylajadi, the other in the Okavango Delta,

Speaker 1: you know. Um, Welcome back to j dot Ilga podcast.

34
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here with my sister friends Liars, Saint Clair,

35
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: the loud one. My bad. It sounds so ladylike, it

36
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: sounds genteel. It's like Saint Clair, I don't know what

37
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: to do. I've got the wrong silver well or you

38
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: need to call Liars. Saint Clair shouldn't tell you what

39
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: to do. Oh, I love it. You a whole character, honey,

40
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: And that would be means she Jill, what is she?

41
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: You're a name? Her name? Do her name? My name

42
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: sounds like somebody's third grade teacher. It's a graden Dangeler, Dunsler.

43
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: It sounds like I've run a nonprofit. I can definitely,

44
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to talk about what Jill Scott sound like.

45
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: That's that's it. My mother made sure I got a job.

46
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: She was like, she said, they ain't gonna know, They're

47
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: not not gonna know till you show up, baby girl,

48
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: until she put that exclamation point on it. Then it

49
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: was like, well, wait a minute, who's that hold up now? Jill?

50
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: It sounds like somebody drunk, That's what it sounds like. Yo.

51
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: You know how many people thinks to the show putting

52
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: exclamation points on their babies names. I'm just gonna tell

53
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: you it's happening. It's happening. Listen. I wouldn't put nothing past.

54
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Like I told you. There's a brother on a TikTok

55
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: that talks about African Americans and linguistics and our language,

56
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: which which is affectionately called now aa vee, which is

57
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: African American vernacular English m the language, the language or

58
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: the words. It's a thing I think it's been a

59
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: lot of new language and words while we've been inside.

60
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just me, I don't like

61
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: what like what covid E? Girl, like what you just said?

62
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: A B E T T A V E. I feel like,

63
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: since covid, did we get a couple more letters for

64
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: the LBGTQ community. Oh plus, Yeah, you just go plus,

65
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: you just go. Well, I noticed that the plus is

66
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: there now that I didn't know about that before. But

67
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: don't think because we just found out it was it

68
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: hasn't been there for a long time. Oh yeah, well

69
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: they and they ended up adding some more eyes and a's,

70
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: and so when you start doubling up on letters, you

71
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: might as well just throw that plus up. And now,

72
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: just not to confuse the layman rights, all the sys,

73
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: all the cis heteros out here, right, But then also too,

74
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: one of my children was like putting me down that

75
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: there's not as multiple flags too. God, Hey, now, well

76
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: all right, that makes sense. I listen. I know it

77
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: confuses everybody else, but I enjoy it. I like people. See.

78
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: One of the one of the quands of principles is

79
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: name yourself, defining yourself for yourself. And so I feel

80
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: as if if you are defining yourself for yourself. I

81
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: am with you. A cheerleader, I've been with you in them,

82
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: so I am too. Yes, I'm with you. Listen, y'all.

83
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: We we had a we had a we had a summer.

84
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: I know it's um, it's kind of early in the

85
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: game far as summer's concerned. UM, but we really did

86
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: have quite the summer. This is the first time that

87
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: the three of us have really and truly been outside outside.

88
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: But for you too, you haven't been going anywhere. Everybody's

89
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: been staying close to home. You know, we're we're being mindful.

90
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: We're not really you know, throwing parties like that, but

91
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're not having gatherings like that. But we're back.

92
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: You know. I see on the news that the COVID

93
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: cases are rising again, and we have to be mindful.

94
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to wear a mask. I don't either. I

95
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna do it for the rest of

96
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: my life. I don't want to talk. I don't think

97
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: you do. Yeah, it's not fun, but it's to me.

98
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: It's just the back and forth and the deciding about winning,

99
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: where and how long and what you're gonna do. That's

100
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: where I get confused, where I'm like, all right, when

101
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm going in and out of stores, that's a habit, right,

102
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: So I don't even have to think about that. I

103
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: put it on, right I get on an airplane, absolutely

104
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: not going bare faced on the airplane. Forget that you're

105
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: good they are a good one. I can't believe people,

106
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it on, you know, I'm gonna put

107
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: it on on that good people's airplane. But if I'm

108
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: in a restaurant, you know what I'm saying, and there's

109
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: nobody in there, and I gotta eat anyway, I gotta

110
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: take it off to eat. It's about when you walk

111
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: into your seat. When you walk into your seats, right,

112
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: I keep it on and then I go eat. But

113
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: then I'll be thinking to myself where I'm eating it.

114
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: So that's where I get confused. I'm just being honest,

115
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: and I'm definitely pro masking. I'm definitely pro vacs. You

116
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: don't have to get into you know, and nobody got

117
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: to hit me up on the side. Yeah, that's what

118
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 1: we did. We're about that. But my point is as

119
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: as I'm as we're moving towards like you know, the

120
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: rest of this, you know, navigating the outside. Those are

121
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: the things that sometimes get me a little frazzled. I

122
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: won't lie, what should I do? You know, It's like

123
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm jumping into the jump rope. Like, just think about

124
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: aerosol and somebody and somebody aerosol in your mouth, and

125
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: how convenient is it for them the aerosol in your

126
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: mouth within six feet is that they would then six

127
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: set taking aerosol in your mouth, especially if they're facing you.

128
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 1: There you go, that's it. Aerosol in your mouth, jill face,

129
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: sick fall in your mouth. I don't know the scientific

130
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: way to say. And I'm done. I'm just I'm two

131
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: weeks over to the COVID, so I'm like, yeah, I'm

132
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: back to being massed up. And I did two days

133
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: at the goddamn Roots pic Neck and didn't get the

134
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: motherfucking COVID. I got to say, I must attribute this

135
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: to colloridial silver. I am learning. Shout out to Suzanne

136
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: Christine who told me that if you spray the collordial

137
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: silver and your mouth, you will keep the virus off.

138
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: So I think it worked at the Roots Picnic. Then

139
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: I got bougie and comfortable, went to the real cute

140
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: seats at the Hollywood Bowl for juneteenth and got the

141
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: goddamn COVID on June teenth and didn't spray the collordial silver.

142
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying to the people, I ain't saying

143
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: it's secure, but I think that it may work. Clover

144
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: and silver. It's powerful, like rubbing it in. Yeah, for

145
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: like I heard, sometimes it helps your scars and stuff.

146
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: He'll quick, quick, good to know, good to know. So yeah,

147
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: so yeah, I got I got the COVID. I mean, luckily,

148
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: I feel blessed because I'm like, you know, triple boost

149
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: and so I just headaches and chills and fever for

150
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: a day. But being inside for seven days that ain't cool.

151
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: That it's not fun, I will have to say. But

152
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: I will say that, you know, having to kind of

153
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: get out and experience the world has also been a

154
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: part of people's self care over being locked up for

155
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: a couple of years. And I have to say, of

156
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: all that this summer that we made up for quite

157
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: a bit. Okay, okay, yeah, can you please tell us

158
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: what you have done this for summer thus far? Oh?

159
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean that's I mean work, y'all know, I'm a traveler,

160
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: so I don't let the virus stop that. So I've

161
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: been doing that a little bit. Yeah, I've been. Yeah,

162
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: because like like Asia said, mask and whatnot? Yeah, no U.

163
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. I think, like I said

164
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: when I went to the Rootspecking, that was the first

165
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: time going out to an outdoor concert for real, for real,

166
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: and that felt so good. That felt like a whole

167
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: reunion of sorts. And yeah, I'm just been I've been outside.

168
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: Just don't stuff ride my bike doing it, you know,

169
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't think. To be honest, I haven't. The only

170
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: new thing I did was be around people. And I'm

171
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: about to go somewhere again. I'm fed to travel, even

172
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: though I'm kind of magic and they lifting these mandates

173
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: and I'm not liking that. I like going places where

174
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: they make you get tested before you leave and then

175
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: nice yes, yes, he's like, because we kind of want

176
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: to know. Yeah, and before you get on the plane,

177
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: we let me see your paper, sir, so that way

178
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: you know everybody on the plane. We're good for this plane.

179
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna still keep my mask on. Yeah I

180
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: missed that. I'm here for your storage, Jill. I want

181
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: to know all about the June. Look at your face.

182
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: Your face immediately just went into relaxed and enjoying us

183
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: when she said your June, I love it coming to it. Okay, friends,

184
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: I am certain that I had the best trip of

185
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: my entire life. Jet turned thirteen. That's my son. For

186
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: anybody who doesn't know, he turned thirteen. And I was like,

187
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: damn black boys in America, you know, or around the world,

188
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: except for maybe Africa. Obviously, they don't have a writer passage.

189
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: You know. If you're Zulu, you know, you go up

190
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: the mountain and for anybody who knows what that is,

191
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: you know what that is? Where from from what I understand,

192
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: if you go up the mountain, you go up the

193
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: mountain and there's men there and they teach you how

194
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: to do important things that help to establish your manhood.

195
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: And by the time you get back to your village,

196
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: you're a young man and people treat you as such.

197
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: Right for Jewish boys, you got your brab mentzvah. You

198
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: have to learn a passage in Hebrew. That's not easy.

199
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: You know, you have a big old party, everybody celebrates you,

200
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: and brab mitzvahs are a lot of fun. But I

201
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: was like, what do you do? You know, wait till

202
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: our kids are like sixteen to have a sweet sixteen

203
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: or fifteen for King Tiniera with some people do. So

204
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: I decided a couple of years ago I started putting

205
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: money away. And I know, I know people will hear

206
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: me say something like that, like I started to put

207
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: money away, But I need you to understand that I

208
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: saved for the things that I want to do, okay,

209
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: and I compartmentalized money the same way that I compartmentalized

210
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: my emotions sometimes. So I wanted to do it big

211
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: and I took I took money out of everything that

212
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: I earned, and I put it towards this trip for Jet.

213
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: I called it a bro Metzvah. I saw that on

214
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: Blackish once and I thought that that was really fly.

215
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, a bro metzvah. But we didn't

216
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: want to. I didn't want to do a party because

217
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: it's been two years. Kids haven't really been hanging out

218
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm gonna have a bunch of awkward

219
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: kids in the space, and I'm gonna pay a whole

220
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: bunch of money to have them look weird at each other.

221
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: I decided Jet had been talking about Paris for quite

222
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: some time. So how we flew to Paris. This was

223
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: his first time on like in business class. He was

224
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: just like, the chair was so fuss, all the buttons,

225
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: all the button the chair was so fun. And I

226
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: was like, this is about to be dope. Okay, that's

227
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: when I got excited. I was like, look and then

228
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 1: the food came. He looked at this meal like, m

229
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: this is great. We've been on first class tablecloth on

230
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: my table. We've we've even flown private you know before,

231
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: but this is our first time flying overseas together ever. Um.

232
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: He had a passport when he was seven weeks old,

233
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: but not not one you know that he could be recognized.

234
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: So now he's thirteen and he's got this passport with

235
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: his real pictures. So he's like that. I think they

236
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: have every movie ever. Was mom could watch movies, discuss

237
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: many movies. I want to yes, just the just I

238
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: took a video of him when he realized that the

239
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: chair turned into a bed. It was it was it

240
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: was like reliving that moment all over again. For for me,

241
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: I was like, this is great, this is gonna be great.

242
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: So we arrived in Paris and we just took it

243
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: really easy. We stayed at the Four Seasons because I

244
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: told y'all I put money aside from I saved for this.

245
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: We walked in there, it was flowers everywhere. It was

Speaker 1: be really mindful of pick pockets and in the real

286
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, towards the areas. Okay. So we've we've we've

287
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,320

288
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: to go on my purse, I'm gonna need you to

289
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: be like a mere cat and look in every direction.

290
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: He was like, what's a mirrorcat? I was like, boy,

291
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: so he had to look up a mirrorcat that was

292
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: see first of all, youse, haven't you seen a lion king? Yes?

Speaker 1: they look and we're looking out for each other. We

298
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: put the little bands on our phone so we can

299
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,919

389
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: is a well, from Paris to South Africa. It was

390
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 1: about ten or eleven hours. Okay, I'm not too bad,

391
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: but this is new for him. He's never flown this

392
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: long before the ETA was broken. So he was like,

393
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: I know, I slept for eight hours, Mom, I know

394

395
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,679

396
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: just relax, you got a little bit time left again.

397
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: The flight was great, um, the whole deceeding and all

398
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: that other stuff. He loved it and thought it was

399
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: so dope. He kept looking at me like, damn girl.

400
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: You know, he kept giving me the damn girl, look

401
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: that thing good. Anyway, we go from South Africa and

402
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: we take a little flight to my womb um that's

403
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: in Butuana. So thus far he's gotten three stamps on

404
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: his passport, one to Paris, one to South Africa, and

405
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: one to Butwana. So we're back where I was pregnant. Why,

406
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: oh god, that's a lot. I know you was crying.

407
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: I just was watching most and the arrangement you must

408
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: have made based on your knowledge of that area, like,

409
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: oh right, So being able to go back and having

410
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: it not be a new experience for you so that

411
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: you could be the we discussed things together. So I'm

412
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: gonna say that I went to Paris. We went to

413
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: Paris first because he really wanted to go to Paris.

414
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: He wanted to see what it was hit before. And

415
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: I think that we had a great meandering of streets

416
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: and walk of thinnes. We definitely had some walk of thinness.

417
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: You know. He got to those ceilings. Friends, if you

418
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: have not been to the Louver and in Paris that

419
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: art museum, the detail, even the wood on the floors,

420
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: the ceilings, your camera will never quite do justice. It

421
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: gives a good idea what you saw, but it doesn't

422
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: really give you the dimensions of things. And he also

423
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to see that the moors were present

424
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: around Jesus consistently in those in those paintings. I was like,

425
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: you know, pointing out the moors, pointing out the brown

426
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: skin you know, all over the place is particularly you

427
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: know in Greek uh in some of the Greek ared

428
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: we saw a lot of brown people. That's not an accident,

429
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: that's not time, that's not discoloration. I was like, wow, okay,

430
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: did they get Jesus's color right now? Hello? Those hotels,

431
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: those those images are in abatment of the Vatican. Oh oh, okay,

432
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: the afro downstairs, but the press out is upstairs. I

433
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: got you, I got you. So now we're in my

434
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: own and then we take a helicopter. Yep, we took

435
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: a helicopter to the Okavanga Delta. It's the jungle of Bruttara.

436
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: We're going on. Oh, I can't wait to see what

437
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,600

455
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: mother land. That's when I learned all of the African

456
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: countries and that song. Right there, I'm in the helicopter

457

Speaker 1: with Jet and we're watching the earth change. It went

458
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 1: from my womb and it's it feels kind of uh,

459
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: it feels like a beach town, but there's no beach

460
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: and we're flying over and all of a sudden, there's

461
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing for as far as the yay I can see.

462
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: And he just understand how big Batuana is and then

463
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: how big the Okavanga delta is. So we we flew

464
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: for an hour on a helicopter too. We all of

Speaker 1: them on TV, the Safari trucks. So we get in.

476
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: Of course they're going to offer us beverages because when

477
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: I tell you, when you go on Safari, the one

478
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: thing that they're going to do two things for sure. Um,

00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: they're definitely going to feed you like crazy. I want

480
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: to know what that is. Okay too, I want to

Speaker 1: eat a half bath. And you're going to go on

482
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: Safari at least three times a day because it's it's

483
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: literally never the same show twice. I mean, I see

484
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: that okay, so walk us through these things, Jill. I

485
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: need to know what the food is. I needn know

486
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: what the different things you saw in the safari. Yeah,

487
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: what y'all eat? I guess lounge if you will. Everything

488
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: is on is on a platform, so we're not on

489
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: the ground the tents because we stayed in a tent.

490
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: The tenths that we're in are not on the ground.

491
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: Everything is like a bridge. Right, we're high up. Um,

492
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: not too high. UM, maybe about a good ten feet

493
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: off the ground. Um. Right. So that's all like really pretty.

494
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: Everything is just really well done. And it's what you

495
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: imagine with the white curtains and the um. It doesn't

496
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: have heat, it doesn't have air condition. Um. At night,

497
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: it gets very very cold, depending on the time that

498
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: you go. But they put what they call bush babies

499
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: in your in your bed um and and bush babies

500
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: are hot water bottles that are covered in something fuzzy

501
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: and it keeps your bed nice and warm. So every

502
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: night there's bush babies in your bed and you're it's

503
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: so happy to have them because this brick is really

504
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: really cold in the desert at night. But the dag

505
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: on foods, you know, I'm here with it. The lady

506
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: comes out and when I tell you, everybody's so pretty,

507
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: like they're just pretty. That's that was one of Jet's

508
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: first observations. He's like, Mom, everybody's just so pretty. I said,

509
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: this is crazy, right, just crazy. All different kinds of faces. Um,

510
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: some some with really big guys, some with slanted eyes,

511
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: some some really fair skinned, some some wide nose, some

512
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: big lips, some one big lip, one small lip, some freckles,

513
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: some balls. You know, this is people. People come in

514
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: all different shapes and sizes, but that there's something else

515
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: that is attached to these folks. It's like a light

516
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: within that is just you can't ignore it. So the

517
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: pretty lady comes out and I can't remember her name,

518
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: it was it was like four syllables forgive me. And

519
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: she comes out and she says, today I have prepared

520
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: for you and ted Acle, I'm soup with a fresh

521
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: crema and a sparticles. And then she goes on and

522
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: we're like just amazed, just like look, I'm like, oh,

523
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: whatever you say, you know, we're gonna eat it. Why

524
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: was it even better than Paris? Of course? Because way better,

525
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: like way better of course we got because these them

526
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: seasons there is just incredible and they feed you breakfast, lunch, dinner,

527
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: and high tea. They typically have like an English breakfast,

528
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: which is some baked beans, eggs, sausage. Um. They had

529
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: beef sausage, they had chicken sausage. I was like, thank

530
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: you so much. Um. And I don't recall eating like

531
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: fresh muffins and things like that. But they made omelets.

532
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: They made. The thing that Jet loved the most was porridge.

533
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: He loved porridge. Just ate it slow and looked at

534
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: the spoon and he was like, this is crazy porridge.

535
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: He loved porridge. Okay, so we go out on safari

536
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm a little nervous because now I'm

537
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: second guessing myself. Did I just bring my cup out

538
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: here to get epped by something? Because you do have

539
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: to sign a waiver saying that if you happen to

540
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: die itself, the fault that you fully knew that you

541
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: were coming to an area where they're a wild and

542
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: honey mouths. That's a moment. They make sure that you

543
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: know as much as possible. How you know, they take

544
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: every precaution, every procution to make sure that you're safe,

545
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: and you have to follow the dog on rules. Don't

546
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: go off the damn bridge and decide you're gonna take

547
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: a walk. You're not safe, dummy, you know, but bab

548
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: boon could kill you. Mind you. They're babboons outside of

549
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: our room, and they are we just sitting on the

550
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: deck and just watch them play. And the baboons and

551
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: the zebra and the impala and the kid. They're all

552
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: together because you know, they're not out here eating meat.

553
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: They're just chilling, just chilling. It's so much to say.

554
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: We saw a leopard. They had killed a zemina and

555
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: had a piece of the legs up on the tree,

556
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: and she just looks She looked so satisfied. She looked

557
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: so satisfied. Her legs were gapped over, and I said, wow.

558
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: Our guide, his name was Kambungle. We also Delta, Delta

559
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: just he wanted to make sure. I told him while

560
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: we were there, and he really made sure to educate

561
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: Jet and Tom to go as close as possible. We

562
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: were so close to lions. I just was like, I

563
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: prayed the whole time. We also had a flat tire

564
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: while we were in the tall brush all bush. It

565
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: was during the day, but that means nothing. And the lions.

566
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: The lions are the exact same color as the bush.

567
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: And I stood up and Jet was like, what are

568
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: you doing? And I said, I'm looking like a mere cat,

569
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: and he was like, here you go with this meercat.

570
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm watching because all I could think

571
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: of was if a lion happens to come out and

572
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: God for big killed come bonga, the wheels off. And

573
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: even if I could drive this truck, I don't know

574
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,959
Speaker 1: where to go. We started an hour ago, an hour

575
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: in every direction, you still have not reached them. The

576
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: delta is so big. We saw hippopotamus, we saw ostrich,

577
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: We saw babylons, we saw leopard, we saw lions, we

578
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: saw so many. We saw eagles, white eagles. I didn't

579
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 1: know they existed. We saw my favorite animals, the key due.

580
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: We saw loads of them with their pretty selves, whatever

581
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: kind of mixture they are. We saw jackals, we saw

582
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: oh boy, we saw it off, and we saw morning, noon, tonight.

583
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: Because the show is never the same, like the animals

584
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: are always doing something. Yeah, they're living, They're okay. So

585
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: this is my first example. Oh god, oh my god,

586
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: a freedom. This is what freedom looks like. This is

587
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: there's no confines here. This is what freedom. It's like

588
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: You're able to do whatever you want, whenever you want,

589
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: however you want, for as long as you want. Period. Okay,

590
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: So um at night that the sky turns read sometimes

591
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: it's purple, sometimes it's it's it's the orange. Like we

592
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: can't fathom the way that the moon shines and the

593
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: way that the pictures do no justice. There's no camera

594
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: I think that could capture what these colors really look like.

595
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: So we spent four days there with them. Then we

596
00:35:53,360 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: took a helicopter to um the Kalajadi desert. Wow. At

597
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: this point, can I just ask an American question, Jill?

598
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: At this point, how are you guys avoiding the bites,

599
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: the bug bites these things? Are you still buck bite free?

600
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: Because y'all was standing in it's also fabric all around

601
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: you to make sure that you're that you don't get bitten.

602
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: They have the spray called boom in the room. UM,

603
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: so you can spray boom just in case if you

604
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, you feel away. But I make it a

605
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: point to go um if and when I traveled to

606
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: to Putuana, I'm not going in there summer. I go

607
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,959
Speaker 1: in the winter, okay, So, and that's June and July

608
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: are the best times to travel to me. And and

609
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: at winter the weather it's still what in June July

610
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: and what is done. It's reasonably warm during the day,

611
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: but it's a different sun there. It's a whole different

612
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: sun there. Okay, So warm is you know, eighties, upper

613
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: eighties um during the day and at night somewhere under twenties.

614
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: We slept in sweatsuits and fuzzy socks. Well yeah, I mean,

615
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: and I heard that the desert can't get really cold,

616
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: but I didn't think you're that cold, not that cold,

617
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: and that less it's the bugs because they don't be

618
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: around in the cold, that's true. So at least you

619
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: know when you're sleeping, they ain't gonna get you in

620
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: that sleep. So that experienced. They laid out the carpet

621
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: and then then there was one moment when they wanted

622
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: to tell me how they felt, and I didn't see

623
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: it coming, and it was very emotional. They were just

00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: And they told jet Um. You hear about these stories

629

00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: toilet and they were separate from each other, just in

673
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: case you felt like taking the poop in the bush.

674
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: We went on safari twice a day because we were like,

675
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: we're a little bit We took naps in between. So

676
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: we got up in five three. We had an amazing breakfast.

677
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: Every day we went out, saw all the things in

678
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: the desert. It's different. So we're now we're looking at

679
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,240

680
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 1: at the animals. Of course, we ended up bumping into

681
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: a very large lion, like okay, I don't understand what

682
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: a bump a bump. He just happened to turn the corner.

683
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: He was there in the car. We had a cage around.

684
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: There's no cage around the car. So he saw us,

685
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: we saw him, and then we just sat quietly and

686
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: he did He was like oh uh, and went on

687
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: about his business doing what he was doing because he's

688
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: free and living without fear. There's nobody there to shoot

689
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: him or hunt him or kill him. Right, So he

690
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: was like, oh, there's one of these things, huh. And

00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: hair that looks just like the earth. I swear it does,

754
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: like from a distance in the helicopter when you look

755
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 1: down on the earth, it's the exact same textures. Come

756
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: on and they take us for a walk. They speak,

757
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: they are one hundred thousand of them left. This is it.

758
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: This is it because the world is coming and the

759
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: kids want to experience other things, you know, and there's

760
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: very few, you know, one hundred thousand left that really

761
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: want to. I guess hold on to that. But they're trying.

762
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: They're trying. So they take us out for this walk

763
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: and they're they're all of a sudden, you know, they're digging,

764
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: and they're telling us about all the earth and all

765
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: the stuff. You get this take this dug a hole

766
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: and found some big ass thing. And they were like,

767
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: boil this is for pains. And I was like, damn,

768
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: I wish I could take this whatever, this thing it's

769
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: with me? Right, you did notice cell bring foil? Right?

770
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: A scorpion, right, this big scorpion they dug out the

771
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: ground and now they're playing with it. And I was like,

772
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm allergic to be stings, so now you know.

773
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: But they're they're telling us they didn't really they didn't

774
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: really speak English. We had a translator who had to

775
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: live with them in order to learn how to speak

776
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: the language, because people who speak Paddi, people who speak

777
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: Zulu pulsa, I don't know how to say that. Right,

778
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: whatever the language is, this is not that. This is old, old, old, old, okay,

779
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: And it takes a lot of time, and you have

780
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: to live, you have to be completely immersed in it

781
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: in order to learn it. And even still our guide

782
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: spoke six or seven languages, but he said he lived

783
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: with them and still struggles. He said, I can hear,

784
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: but I can't speak as well as I wish I could.

785
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, okay. So they play with the scorpions.

786
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: The guy this this, the bushman puts the scorpion in

787
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 1: his mouth. I'm never I'm bugged out. I'm bugged out.

788
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: He was like, there, there are friends, there are toys.

789
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: We play with them. And they dug another hole, put

790
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: their dude away and buried him. And I was like,

791
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: it's scorpions in this damn doesn't really big factas right

792
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: underneath us. So now Jet and I are looking everywhere

793
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: because we are a little bit scared. Now, yeah, I'm

794
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: going back to meercat status. You know, have thorns in

795
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: our socks and trying to act like everything is cool

796
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: because their barefoot. Why aren't they stopping to take thorns

797
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: out of this socks because it hurts. How you got

798
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: you got shoes on the right, Yeah, but there's there.

799
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: These thorns are coming up under the under the hands

800
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: or something I don't know, and getting stuck like a

801
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: tiny mean needle, like a mean little needle. Well, this

802
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: is the reality also of nature and being outside and

803
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, different terrain. We struggled with that one because

804
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: every few steps it was a new mean needle. And

805
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: when we didn't want to, we didn't want to play

806
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: ourselves like you y'all don't have no shoes on, how

807
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: are you not getting stuck by mean needles? I was like, yeah,

808
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: so they made fire out of jackal dung. How you

809
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: make fire to dodo, I don't know, but what we

810
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: watched it, we were amazed. We were mazed. I mean

811
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: I never even seen the jackal. Wait fire, I mean

812
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: out of the jackal, I'm dung. Wow. Okay, there's a

813
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: gas or something that comes off of poople. Well they

814
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: mashed it up and it was like soft because there's

815
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: a like a like like hey, it turns into kind

816
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 1: of like hey, so you know, enough friction it became fire.

817
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: We were like damn happy too. And it's crazy. The

818
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: pictures that we took with the with the bushmen, they

819
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: came out black, all of them in that crazy what

820
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: you feel like some things weren't meant to be seen

821
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: or you can't see their faces. And the pictures in

822
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 1: between are there, but the pictures directly with them standing

823
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: next to them are black. And we were like, oh wow,

824
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: in that dope. They bring us our lunch outside. It's

825
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: so it's so jazzy, it's so special, it's so extra okay,

826
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: all the things, and then we take ATVs into the

827
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: salt flats. A TVs are those four wheels vehicles. The

828
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: salt flats are as big as Switzerland. It's where your

829
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: water used to be, but no more, right, and so

830
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: it's like it's like white on the ground with the

831
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 1: big cracks. Yes, and we went directly into the salt

832
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 1: flass beautiful on the a TVs where we sped like crazy.

833
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: The guy was like a valet. He was like, you

834
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: want to go fast style? Jed was like yes, because

835
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: he's driving himself for the first time. Yes, and that

836
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: was dopeest shit. We get out, We get way out there.

837
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,439
Speaker 1: We drove for like an hour into the salt flats.

838
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,959
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's how big it is, Okay,

839
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: And then we get off and he says, find an

840
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: area by yourself. And I noticed that as I'm walking,

841
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: there's really no sound out there. There's no sound. Yeah,

842
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: I felt like that. Well, it's not the same, but

843
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: like out in the desert when you go to like

844
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: Arizona and stuff like that, Like you get out to

845
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,879
Speaker 1: a certain point and it's like standing in like a

846
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: studio or something like, it's like flat, no sound. It

847
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: was deep and I honestly started to feel a little

848
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: fear because I'm not accustomed to not hearing any sounds.

849
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: But I was safe. I knew I was safe because

850
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: we're an hour away from any trees or vegetation. Animals

851
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: are not walking out there. They'll die, they know better. Yeah,

852
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: there's nothing growing out there. So he says, all right, now,

853
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: lay down, and we're in three different places, and he says,

854
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: enjoy the sunset. And the sky turned peach and then

855
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: it turned blue and then and then all of a sudden,

856
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: there were stars just popping up. I've seen you know, obviously,

857
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: we've all seen stars before, but they turned colors. They

858
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: were green and red and yellow. I've never seen a

859
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: rainbow of stars before. And then they were shooting stars

860
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: in between, not one, not twelve, not fifty, just so so,

861
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: so many. And he says, all right, now after and

862
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: now realize that we have to ride back. Yeah, there's

863
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: there's lights on the ATVs, but we also have to

864
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: ride through the bush on these ATVs. The driver, i

865
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: mean the guide valet shout out the valet. He's in

866
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: the front, jets in the middle, and I've decided to

867
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: take the back because I figured I'm gonna protect him.

868
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: And I got his back. I said, my god, what

869
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: am I gonna do something? Decided to jump on my chad,

870
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: where which direction to do? Out? What does something jump

871
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: on me? And Jet is gunning it. He's gunning it hard.

872
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: Just I got a gun it too, But also not

873
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: get in his dust because if I'm in his dust,

874
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: I can't see, you know. And we're just out here

875
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: in the middle of all of this, you know. And

876
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: I figured, Okay, maybe the noise will distract and they

877
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 1: won't want to, you know, fuck with us. But I

878
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: was scared. I was very, very scared. But we arrived

879
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: back at our jeep and then we rode on to

880
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: camp and had a wonderful meal, met people from all

881
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: over the world. Most of them were Americans, which was

882
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: really surprising. And then we left. We out there, any

883
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: chips out there, any chips, any American chips out there? No,

884
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: but I want you to go. I know you do.

885
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna working on it, just to see that. See what.

886
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: So the first part of the trip was so Jack

887
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: to see what men can do in Paris with the

888
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: architecture and the artes. This next part is for him

889
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: to see what God does and what God can do.

890
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: We couldn't capture what the stars did. We only could

891
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: look at it with our eyes and be humbled by it. Yeah, magnificence,

892
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: like the true definition of creativity. Nothing better than this,

893
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: nothing from the animals, to the trees, to the all

894
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: of the things. Okay, so we leave this wonderful experience

895
00:53:54,480 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: just floating. We've learned so much. We'll be back after

896
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: the break. Now we're on our way to Amsterdam, and

897
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: we get to one of my favorite cities in the world,

898
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: and we kicked it. We walked the dogs, we ate

899
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 1: the waffles. We went to fabric the Luminesque, a light museum,

900
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: and that was freaking phenomenal because the light it was

901
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: what's his name, Gustav Clement his artwork, which is very,

902
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: very colorful. They had it everywhere. It just became all

903
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: around you. They have a black warehouse and they created

904
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: these freaking dope ass lights and the art was all

905
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: over you, everywhere you look. It was amazing. We must

906
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: have stayed in there for at least an hour, like

907
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: it was fresh. You can ride your bike everywhere. We

908
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: took a canal. I wanted to Heineken because Heineken is

909
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: better overseas. I gotta Heineken and I was like, you

910
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: want a beer, and he was like Mom, Mom, I'm

911
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: not I'm a child. I said, okay, and the guy says, well,

912
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean we have Heineken zero. I said, what's Heineken zero?

913
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: He was like, just no alcohol in it? And I

914
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: was like, you got a coastin He was like I do.

915
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: So we enjoyed a beer together and we did that

916
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: multiple times, his Heineken zero or my Heineken, and we

917
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, chatting it up and enjoying ourselves. We sat

918
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: on park benches. He's like, mom, I don't think or

919
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,439
Speaker 1: a little cafe tables. He was like, Mom, I don't

920
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: think we could sit here. Where's the restaurant? I said, exactly,

921
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: their seats here because people need to sit. There'sh lollipops here,

922
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: because people get drug out there. It's like, you know

923
00:55:53,920 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, there's it's a conscious consideration of

924
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: what people want in this place. So we got a

925
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: chance to experience three different kinds of creativity and freedom,

926
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: which is hopefully, you know, the goal to inspire. He

927
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: bought some dope shit. I gave him a budget. I

928
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: watched he found his style between Parish, some good shopping

929
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: and Amsterdam too. Oh yeah, for sure, he found his thing.

930
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: He was like, this is apparently Hugo Bosses is where

931
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: the boy lives. I was like, oh, I said, you

932
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 1: know what this means, right, you know what this means?

933
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: He was like, what is it me? You good job?

934
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 1: You gonna shot. You gotta get that good good good.

935
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: We go into stories. He's like, oh, those sneak is mom, No,

936
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: sneak is fresh. Oh man, oh man. I looked at

937
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: the price. I was like, oh, look at your taste.

938
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: He was like, you're gonna be taking care of mama. Okay, good.

939
00:56:55,320 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: Ain't like it, you know? So we we did all

940
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: of those things. He had a burger in a place,

941
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Cannibal royal. I think that's what it

942
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: was called Royal Cannibal. They made a veggie burger for

943
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: that child. I watched my son have his first food orgasm,

944
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: and I loved it. He did. He absolutely lost himself.

945
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: He didn't speak for forty five He kept looking at

946
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: it and shaking his head. He rolled his eyes back,

947
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: he closed his eyes, he looked at it again. He

948
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: bit it slow. I said, this is that's it. That's

949
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: what I'm looking And he is his mother's child. That

950
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 1: is truly. We're establishing your taste as well. Okay, I

951
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: see how you get there. So yeah, And when in

952
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: the Amsterdam, we also went to the Torture Museum and

953
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: all of this understanding when you take these trips that

954
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: this is really about the education of our kid, you

955
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean, You want to broaden their horizons

956
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: and help him understand. So we got in there and

957
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: when I tell you the medieval shit that was going on,

958
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: the time it took to create some of that maniacal, vicious,

959
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: brutal shit, Jet says, Wow, So it's always been like that.

960
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: That's what I was just thinking that you were saying.

961
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,479
Speaker 1: I was like the mind, the way these minds work.

962
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: They had a piece of wood, piece of wood, a

963
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: big triangle, right, This was the one that got me.

964
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: I think all of them were crazy and way too

965
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: freaking much, but this thing was a big triangle. And

966
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: what they do is they put the triangle way up

967
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: and you gotta get on a ladder to get up

968
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: on the triangle. Then they sit your raw neked ass

969
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: on the triangle and add weights to your arms and

970
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: your feet. Oh so it just hurts on your ass,

971
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: like you're just just digging into your ass. Like it

972
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: did slowly, ah, slowly. These others are so creative with

973
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: their torture. Wow, we saw oh they cutting titties off.

974
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: They was all kinds of crazy, extra brutal. And the

975
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: museum was only, you know, maybe about a thirty minute visit.

976
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: But we walked out of there like damn. Yo. Shout

977
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: outs to Jill because into all the people listening, y'all

978
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: gotta understand, Jill just broke down Amsterdam heavily without using

979
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: the word cannabis or red light district. And that is

980
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: truly beautiful because it is so much more, because it's

981
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: so much more to these cities. She didn't even say

982
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: to it. So look they had on June teenth, because

983
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: we were there for June Tea on Juneteenth um, they

984
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: had DJ's on every block. So in the areas where

985
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: people were eating and shopping, there were DJs. Now we

986
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: took it as it was June Teeth for us, like

987
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: this was but will know why y'all doing this, But

988
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: this is June teeth. They play Biggie and my son

989
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: and I blacked out dancing in the streets, dancing in

990
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: the street. It was so fun and so what again,

991
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: free free can I remind people as they as people

992
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: listen to your story. I want to also remind people that,

993
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, not for nothing, most of us have a

994
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: friend or some type of family member that works for

995
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: the airline, and most of us tend to use those

996
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: advantages that we take to go to like Miami or California,

997
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: where I like to remind people that if you got

998
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: access to some type of flying privileges, you need to

999
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: use those internationally. Use some of this stuff that Jill

1000
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 1: is saying, use it internationally. It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it

1001
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: gives you more of a discount. I just want to

1002
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: remind people that people who think they can't everybody knows

1003
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: somebody to work for the airline. Think about it. Well,

1004
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: I've been traveling for forty something years and I used

1005
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: my mama's flight attendant privileges. But I'm you're saying it's

1006
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: a blessing. I just think it's closer than people think

1007
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: it is. It's always yeah, I mean, you can you

1008
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: can accumulate miles in a bunch of different ways these days,

1009
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: and also to like even through your credit cards to

1010
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: all kinds of different things. But you know, but then

1011
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: also too, like there's a bunch of different travel hacks

1012
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: and a bunch of different websites and Instagram and TikTok

1013
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: pages around being black and traveling solo and traveling with kids.

1014
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's a blog called the Traveling Child. I

1015
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: believe it's called there's a black woman who travels with

1016
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: her young daughters all the time and they've been everywhere together,

1017
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: traveling Noir, which is another good one, and so just

1018
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: just like a lot of different you know, so it's

1019
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: ways to travel and make it more affordable and travel

1020
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: with kids. You know, I have six kids, even though

1021
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: I wish they would give y'all your own plane sometimes,

1022
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 1: but that's fine. I'm here. I'm here for it. I mean,

1023
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: it's a thing. In restaurant Cannonball Royale, they played a

1024
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: hip hop they played hip hop in Dutch and they

1025
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: got veggie burgers and it's called cannabaun. I love that.

1026
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: I got a chicken sandwich and they put a chicken

1027
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: wing on it, on top of it, and I was like,

1028
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: why I would just what made you do that? I

1029
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: don't know who's back there and whatever that mustard is,

1030
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: fuck you, fuck you for that mustard. Fuck you, but

1031
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: that mustard I wanted to. I wanted to lay down

1032
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: in it. I wanted to lick it off of someone

1033
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 1: I love deep. Now I want to look it on

1034
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: somebody I love dearly. I was like, that's that's that

1035
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: should be the caliber of sauce you should have or

1036
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: anything from now warm. Yeah, that's a new standard. It's

1037
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: definitely the standard. That's the standard of sauces from now war.

1038
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: Oh what a wonderful time you got, Like food, culture, art, nature,

1039
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: It's all all these really beautiful things that I kind

1040
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: of incorporated, and then so much more. Like I said, well,

1041
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: it'll probably unfold over time all the things, you know

1042
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: what I mean, It's gonna take me, take me some

1043
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: time to do that. But we're gonna, you know what,

1044
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna end this podcast today because you know, it's

1045
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: been kind of long, and we're just talking about this

1046
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: one thing so much. You feel long because you've been talking,

1047
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: but it's been great. Please take your time and unwrap

1048
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: these thoughts that our children deserve to have some kind

1049
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: of right of passage into their maturation. We are their parents,

1050
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: We are their aunts and uncles, were their grandparents. And

1051
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: this was what I chose to do with the means

1052
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: that I had, But it's it's fair to say that

01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: lake house, an airbnb for a week with family and friends,

1066
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: I have a two year old son, and after listening

1067
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: to this, I'm starting a travel fund. Like now, speaking

1068
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: of travel funds, you do not have to be rich

1069
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: to see the world, just intentional. I'm going to share

1070

Speaker 1: use capital to build my little travel fund and I

1073
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: love it. I'm saving and I don't even realize it.

1074
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: It allows you to create rules around your spending habits.

1075
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 1: For example, like if I get a coffee, it'll automatically

1076
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: put two dollars into my savings. I'll also drop in
