WEBVTT - Legacy Beyond Wealth

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Listen closely.

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 2>The legacy you leave will not be defined by how

0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 2>much money you make.

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:10.800
<v Speaker 3>M that's a good thing. And I just know that

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 3>as rich as my heritage and culture is, that needs

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:17.319
<v Speaker 3>to be folded up into the legacy that we leave

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:18.079
<v Speaker 3>our children.

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Dead Ass.

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>It all started with real talk, unfiltered, honest and straight

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 2>from the heart. Since then we've gone on to become

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.639
<v Speaker 2>Webby award winning podcasters in New York Times bestselling authors.

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.239
<v Speaker 3>Dead Ass was more than a podcast for us. It

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 3>was about our growth, a place where we could be vulnerable.

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Be raw, or but most apportly be us.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 3>But as we know, life keeps evolving and so do we,

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 3>and through it all, one thing has never changed. This

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 3>is a sever after because we got a lot to

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 3>talk about.

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.319
<v Speaker 2>Story time, so as you all know, we have four

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>beautiful voice and over the past I say a year,

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I've learned a lot about raising our children. Just in

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.679
<v Speaker 2>the past year, yes, I'll say in the past year,

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:14.679
<v Speaker 2>mainly because Jackson turned thirteen, and as so many of

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, in other cultures, you turn thirteen. In Jewish

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 2>culture you have about missfah even in I think in

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Latino culture, when you turn thirteen, for girls.

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>Or was fifteen for coach.

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 2>So it's like that age that turning thirteen in many

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>cultures is a sign of becoming an adult. And recently

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I've realized with Jackson that there's more teaching that goes

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>into teaching a young man how to be a man

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>than it teaches him how to do anything that's in

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 2>association with his occupation. So, for example, Jackson and I

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 2>had gone through this back and forth with football and basketball,

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>and I realized, you know what, I am going to

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 2>back up a little bit and not hover. Brought Jay

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>down here from New York so that he can be

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 2>his basketball mentor kind of like an uncle, so that

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I could still be dad. But I knew someone who

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>has the same intensity for sports to coach him. One day,

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 2>Jay was like, yo, Jacks, we got five ams. So Jax,

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 2>being Jack's at thirteen, was up five am, five thirty two.

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I get a text message from Jay, literally, yo, d

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I fucked up? This is the text message, right, And

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 2>then I say, testaments of what happened?

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>You're supposed to be here. He calls me.

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 2>He said, Yo, I got sick last night. I actually

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>got really sick, passed out on the floor. Woke up

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>this morning and it's five thirty. I got a long

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>text message from Jackson.

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 2>The text message says something like this, This is a

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>thirteen year old Hey, j I have to be at

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>school for eight o'clock. You told me to be here

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:52.959
<v Speaker 2>at five. You told me to be up at five

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 2>am so you could pick me up. I'm up and

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you're not here. We talk about trusting this house, and

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>if you expect me to trust, you have to be

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 2>a man of your word because words have power. I

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.959
<v Speaker 2>could have gotten more sleep, so I'm not gonna do

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 2>six am. I'm going back to sleep. And he proceeded

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 2>to go back to sleep, and then Papa took him

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>to school. And then Jay said to me, like yod,

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I had to grow up in that moment because the

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>man and me wanted to be upset that he was

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>talking to me. But then I also realized that he

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>was mature and actually right. And I know this story

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>was about me teaching my was supposed to be about

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>me teaching my son how to do something outside of sports,

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>but it was ultimately my son teaching another man about

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 2>something because that was something that he learned from his father.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>And for me that's the important part about the legacy

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>is the man aspect of it. When he said the

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 2>words like you have to be a man of your

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>word and words have power, I noted that's something that

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.119
<v Speaker 2>he got from me because.

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 3>I say that all the time, all the time, all

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 3>the time.

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>And when Jay read the text from me, I was pissed.

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 2>First, well, you had my son wake up, But I

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 2>was also proud the jackson not only stood his ground,

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>but he was eloquent in these words.

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 3>So eloquent and respectful.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 1>That's my boy, man.

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what we teach accountability in this house, all right.

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Everybody has to follow suit.

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 2>So with that being said, you had a karaoke song.

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I did song, which is funny because yesterday we was

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 2>arguing about you know what I like.

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>And I do mine, and then they don't have to

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>be one karaoke.

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 3>If it's fitting for us to have to. I mean,

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 3>initially when I said mine, you were like, oh, that's

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 3>what I was thinking of, But then you had something else.

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>So I think because it was the first thing that

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.280
<v Speaker 1>came up with, legacy.

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Was right right. Well, of course, Jay Z, legacy right

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 3>makes sense. Legacy, Legacy Black excellency, let them see.

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Let them see.

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But then I started thinking about the spoken word.

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 2>This is from the Blueprint two album. Jay Z said

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.679
<v Speaker 2>this at the end of the first song. I see,

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I said, jealousy, I said, got the whole industry mad

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 2>at me? I said, then be I said, Oh, remind yourself.

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Nobody built like you. You design yourself. I see, I said,

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>my wonderful con self getting stoned every day like Jesus did.

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>What he said, I said, has been said before, So

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 2>keep doing your thing.

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>He said, say no more. That's legacy.

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 2>That like, it gives me chills to even say that

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 2>and think about what it means.

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, the idea of getting stoned every day like

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Jesus did.

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 2>It's like, Yo, my legacy is that I'm not going

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 2>to follow and do everything everybody else. I am going

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 2>to do something outside the box. That's my legacy, my legacies.

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do something that's never been done, and

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 2>people will crucify me for it because it's never been done.

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.919
<v Speaker 2>But at the very end, he said, I see, I said,

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>what's been said before. Keep doing your thing, he said,

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 2>say no more, just like Jesus. No matter what they

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>say about you keep doing your thing because your thing

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 2>will ultimately become the trend one day.

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a fact.

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 3>And if not, at least you'll be happy with being yourself.

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Amen.

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 3>That's ultimately what we teach these boys.

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Amen.

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 6>Love that man.

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 3>All Right, y'all, let's take a quick break. We're gonna

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 3>pay some bills and then we're going to get back

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 3>into the meat of the show. So stick around Legacy, baby.

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 3>All right, we're back, all right now for Devo's favorite

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 3>part of the show.

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.119
<v Speaker 1>This is my favorite part of the show.

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 3>What we got going on today, girl.

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, since we're talking about Legacy today, I heard that

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 5>stephen A Smith and Lebron James got into it court

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 5>side of the Lakers game a few weeks ago.

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I did see that.

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 5>I guess Bronnie James was playing particularly poorly that game

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 5>and stephen A Smith must have been saying something courtside,

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 5>so Lebron went up to him and, reportedly, according to Smith,

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 5>he said, stop effing with my son.

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 6>That's my son.

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 5>So my question is about nepotism.

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 6>In this situation.

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 2>About nepotism. Oh, I have a strong opinion about this.

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm all for nepotism. This country was built on nepotism.

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 2>They just mad because now we're using nepotism. And even

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 2>in a more poignant point when it comes to the

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>James family, lebron James has made a shit ton.

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Of money for not only the NBA, but ESPN and Nike.

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, and we all agree that he's made billions of

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 2>dollars for those three companies. Right, people have a problem

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>with his son being drafted into the NBA, right, and

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 2>him getting a seven million dollar deal. I challenge anyone

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to go back in time and look at all of

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 2>the draft picks at that time.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 1>They all got the same amount of deal.

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 2>They all got about seven million, some got more, some

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 2>got nine million, being I think he's a fifty fifth pick, right, Josh.

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>So people were upset that he a seven million dollars.

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>This also shows you the ignorance people see something automatically

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>assume that Bronnie James got more than everybody else until

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 2>they do research and realize he didn't get more than

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 2>everybody else. But also, let me ask you this, if

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>you made billions of dollars for three companies, right, why

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>would you put your son into the nc double A

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>to make more money for the NC DOUBLEA when you

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 2>can put him where you can make sure that he's

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 2>taken care of what he can learn about the game

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 2>and make his own money. Don't that seem like it

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>just makes sense, you know what I'm saying, Like at

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 2>this point, it's really not even nepotism, it's just smart.

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's my son. I make this company all

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 2>of this money. He's going to grow here where I

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 2>can make sure that he's protected. I'm also gonna make

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 2>sure he grows in a place where he's not making

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 2>another institution money.

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Because Braun never went to the NC Double A. He

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>went sure at a high school. So I understand it.

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I understand the mentality.

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that people don't realize that they're playing a

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:53.319
<v Speaker 2>different game.

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, Bron is an icon. His

0:08:58.280 --> 0:08:59.199
<v Speaker 1>son is not going to do.

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:00.959
<v Speaker 2>Things the way ever three other child does, and I

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 2>think people are upset about that. But I don't think.

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's quote unquote nepotism. And even if

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 2>it is nepotism, go ahead and nepotize your way to

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 2>the top. Because I played in the NFL where every

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>coach's son is on staff.

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.680
<v Speaker 1>That owners son is own staff.

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Like, there's people who are gms who have no football

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 2>experience because their father was in the front office. So

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 2>if we don't have a problem with that, I don't

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 2>have a problem with this.

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 3>Remember in college we went to at Hofstra. One of

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 3>my residents, who is living on my floor, okay, woke

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 3>up one middle of the night to someone someone was

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 3>in my in my dorm room. So this is when

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 3>I was living in the towers, so I was in

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.959
<v Speaker 3>charge of my entire ninth floor. Deval and I were

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 3>in my little twin size bed asleep middle of the night.

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 3>I was the r A on duty that night. Big spoon,

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 3>little spoon, big little spoon in the twin size bed, right.

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 3>And then I hear in my sleep like water is running.

0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm like my dreaming, like what's going on? Open my

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 3>eyes and there is a young man in my room

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.839
<v Speaker 3>in the dark, taking a piss in my garbage can

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:09.559
<v Speaker 3>in my room.

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 4>I was dead.

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Nah in my room. So I jump out the bed.

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Deval jumps off the bed. We were like, oh my god,

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 3>jump and grab him.

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>No, he's paying.

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm like he's paying a long stream piece like he

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 3>was clearly like super nebrated and on something right, So

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, don't So he like literally comes to when

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 3>we turn on the lights and he sees like he's

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.839
<v Speaker 3>in the room with me and Deval and he was like,

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 3>oh shit. So I was like, I said his name,

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, you better get the fuck out

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 3>my room and take the garbage can with you.

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 2>It's the funniest part though. It's the funniest part. He

0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.199
<v Speaker 2>picks up the garbage can and goes into the bathroom

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 2>to clean it out. Right, public safety comes. They're all

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 2>former football players because once she called, they run upstairs.

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Yo, do you good.

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, yeah, dudes in the bathroom. They come back laughing,

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>and I said, what happened? They go in the bathroom.

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I go in the bathroom. Dude is in the shower

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 2>with the garbage can, fully clothed and all of the.

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Wall just running on it and running out of the

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 3>garbage can.

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>And the dude was just like he's They were like,

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>he's on something other than just alcohol.

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Made no sense, So they took care of him, took

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.199
<v Speaker 2>him to the hospital, make sure he didn't have anything.

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>So a couple of days later, I go by.

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 2>He lived down the dorm down the hall from me.

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.199
<v Speaker 2>So I'm knock on the door and I'm like, yo,

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 2>what's the deal? Like real talk like you party Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Like how like how dude? Undergrad's a fucking joke. My

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 2>fifth year. My dad owns Vitamin World. When I graduated,

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 2>want to sit on the board, I'm gonna make like

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 2>two hudred and fifty k. That's literally what he told me.

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>And I said, that's a different game, y'all, playing bro like.

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Undergrad to them was a place to go socialized.

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 3>I tell you, wow, old to do it, have fun, travel.

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>He said.

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 2>My dad said, if I get my degree, then I

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 2>can sit on the board. Not when if, But he

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 2>was just there of five years, and when he gets

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 2>his degree, he gets to sit on the board and

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 2>make a quarter million dollars. That's what And that's nepotism.

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 2>They have no problem with that. So that's a great story.

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 3>So for me, I'm just like, they be over here

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 3>doing it all the time. They put their kids in

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 3>positions to at minimum make six figures sitting on a

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 3>board with the potential to if they were invested in

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 3>the company, potentially rise in the company. So I'm like,

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 3>maybe I'm gonna do the same thing for my children,

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 3>because guess what we've been over here busting our ass

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 3>to make away facts and one thing divine and I

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 3>are teaching our kids regardless. When you think of just

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 3>the overarching topic of legacy, it's like you have to

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 3>build a certain character in general to go through life with.

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 3>So I'm all for being able to put your kids on.

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 3>Is Brianny a good player?

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't really pay by the time this comes out,

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 2>y'all seeing he just had his career high last night.

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>He had seventeen, seventeen, five and two.

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 3>He's just starting now.

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be fair because people are going to say, oh,

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 2>they was getting blown out. I don't care if they

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 2>was getting blown out. And I think he's averaging over

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty in the G League, and the number two pick

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 2>from this year I think is in the G League

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.199
<v Speaker 2>and averages less points than Brownie. So it's like, I

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.319
<v Speaker 2>think's number two and number three. I know some sports

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:21.839
<v Speaker 2>people can be like, no, it's not the number two,

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 2>it's not it's the number four. I don't shit, dude,

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 2>just scored seventeen points last night in the NBA game.

0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 2>You cannot tell me he don't belong in the NBA.

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.839
<v Speaker 3>Come on now, exactly, And they're expecting him to come

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 3>fresh out of wherever he's coming out of school to

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 3>be at the same level of his father, Like, come on.

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Also, there's so many other nuances here that people don't realize.

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Two years ago, Brownie had a heart condition that almost.

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Cost him his life.

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Remember, yeah, yeah, at this point, if I'm a dad,

0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't give a shit period about what people think

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.679
<v Speaker 2>about what I'm going to do for my son. Like

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.599
<v Speaker 2>if this is going to and I don't want to

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 2>put this, I say it shortens his life.

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to give my son every opportunity now to.

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Get his dream, you know, cause what if you get

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 2>some report that, hey, he only has a couple more

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 2>years to play basketball before he has to chill. Okay,

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.839
<v Speaker 2>these are things they're not going to disclose to us,

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 2>But he getting there.

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, We don't know.

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not going to say that I'm gonna knock

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.079
<v Speaker 2>on wood because I'm hoping that that's not the case.

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 2>My head here, I just I think this whole thing

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 2>about nepotism with them is just yeah, it's.

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 3>All blown out and shout out to my girl Savannah.

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Because people have told me that I'll be on my

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 3>Savannah tip at these basketball games with Jackson because I'll

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 3>be just concentrating on my son. So I had dming

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 3>that was like girl, I said people somebody said you'd

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 3>be like, oh my god, you so much like Savannah James,

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Like you just be so into the game. Yeah, because

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm here for my son, not here to entertain with y'all.

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying, I'll be like here, people

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 3>shout out to Savannah if you locks up with her kids.

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, you're supposed to be there to entertain people.

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 3>No, I got kids kids, was the AAU circuit track whatever.

0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm not there to chucking job with nobody, but I

0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 3>feel root my kids on. So, yes, what.

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Y'all think, I know, I know how y'all think about nepotism.

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>We had this discussion, Matt.

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 7>Nepotism is running all up and down that building and

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 7>every other building. I'm all for all for it.

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm all for it. I think you bloom where you're planted.

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 8>The fact that his dad put him in bad I

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 8>won't say his dad put him in that position. I

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 8>would say that his dad had influence to get him

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 8>to be a part of the NBA and the Lakers

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 8>for that matter.

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 4>And for the.

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 8>Most part, a lot of us are unqualified for the

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 8>positions that we have in general, right.

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 4>So.

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 8>It is up to you to take the opportunity that

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 8>you have to bloom in that position. And I think

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 8>he's doing exactly what he needs to do. I have

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 8>no issues with it. I guarantee you, once I have

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 8>my production studio, once I'm making my own films, my

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 8>daughter who wants to be an actress, I guarantee you

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.680
<v Speaker 8>she will be in my films. Now a day in

0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 8>acting school. She will go to acting school. Doesn't matter

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.920
<v Speaker 8>because absolutely I'm grooming her for what she wants in

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 8>the future.

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 3>So absolutely that makes so much sense as you should.

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I one agree with nepotism, especially when it comes

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 5>to black folks. It's something that we haven't always been

0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 5>able to do. I saw a video the other day

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 5>White Lotus, the show Arnold Schwarzenegger's son is on White Lotus,

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 5>and they posted a video the other day that was

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 5>like the moment that whoever. Schwarzenegger found out that he

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 5>got the part on White Lotus and everybody was like,

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 5>I thought they were on set in this video because

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 5>they're at like a nice resort.

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:41.960
<v Speaker 6>They're like, this isn't news.

0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 5>Bro, Like, yeah, we know why you got the part.

0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 5>But I guess sports fans are a little bit different

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 5>at they're a little more a little harsher when it

0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 5>comes to criticism, but hey.

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 1>It depends on who they're harsh with.

0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Archie Manning made it a point to make sure

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 2>that his kids went exactly where they went, and no

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 2>one had an issue with that. He pretty much told

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.160
<v Speaker 2>I think it was the San Diego Chargers, do not draft.

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.400
<v Speaker 2>If you draft Eli, he will go back to college

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 2>and not play. So then they drafted him and traded

0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 2>him to the Giants for Philip Rivers. So here's another

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 2>opportunity where nepotism. A former Hall of Fame or hall

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 2>of famer tells people in this organization what's going to happen,

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.560
<v Speaker 2>and nobody has a problem with it. But then when

0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 2>it's Lebron or it's Dion, Oh, now was a problem.

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 1>That's all of this? They can kiss minds with that.

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. I hope them brothers get everything they

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>want out of life, big man, and.

0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 6>They can be the most mediocre player on the team.

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Fact me.

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Hey, yeah, that's how Sometimes though, with nepotism, you wonder

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 3>why think.

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:51.199
<v Speaker 2>About this, think about this in your life. Have you

0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.239
<v Speaker 2>ever seen a C average person in your life? A

0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 2>black sea average person just go on to do anything

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.719
<v Speaker 2>like super super great, and they'd be like, sea average,

0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.199
<v Speaker 2>got me here if you ever know. But if you

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 2>have a sea average, you a white male, you could

0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 2>become president of the United States.

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.600
<v Speaker 1>George W. Bush. Yeah, I'm just being honest.

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.240
<v Speaker 3>What it is is absolutely.

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he went to an Ivy League school, but he

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 2>was a C average student and became president because his

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.399
<v Speaker 2>father was president. Like, come on, man, like, we're not

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.880
<v Speaker 2>going this is all facts. We're not making up stuff.

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not an opinion, it's a fact. So nepotism runs

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 2>rampant in America. Do whatever you gotta do, bron Jackson,

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.879
<v Speaker 2>whatever I got going on. When you turn eighteen, trust me,

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:32.240
<v Speaker 2>you got a job, baby.

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:32.720
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:34.639
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's also about knowing your kids and

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 3>knowing like their interests, Like say, Bronni didn't want to

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:38.640
<v Speaker 3>do asketball like then, I'm sure they would have found

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 3>a different avenue for him to with their connections succeed

0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 3>in that route. So it's like it doesn't always have

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 3>to be the same exact thing that the parent did either.

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 3>That is a fact, you know, I agree with that AnyWho.

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 5>I know we're not talking about finance today, but I

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.919
<v Speaker 5>think the audience always loves to hear y'all talk about money. Okay,

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 5>I feel like what I hear y'all talk about money,

0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.159
<v Speaker 5>I walk out of here like, Wow, I'm about to

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:05.000
<v Speaker 5>have a million dollars. Hasn't happened yet, but I still believe,

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 5>keep the faith. So I just read the Washington Post

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 5>posted an article today that said that Klarna just signed

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.639
<v Speaker 5>a new deal at door Dash. I saw that last

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 5>people can pay for food delivery and for payments.

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:22.600
<v Speaker 3>That's insane, and it makes.

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 5>Me wonder what do y'all think about these buy now,

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 5>pay later companies like after pay Klarna.

0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 6>There's a couple more out there, op or no? Op?

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:37.879
<v Speaker 3>What's the arp on that? There's no there's no interesting,

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 3>So what's the incentive for someone like a Klarna? You know, Like,

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.159
<v Speaker 3>how do they make their money? It has to be

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.919
<v Speaker 3>like some underlying something, because listen, I understand that the

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:50.560
<v Speaker 3>price of food. With four children in this house who

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.679
<v Speaker 3>were always hungry, I get why people have to like

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 3>lay away food.

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.640
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying, no op, because I don't

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 2>know enough about the app to have an education opinion, So.

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:01.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't have one, but go ahead, so you know

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>more about it?

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Well, I've seen people with Klarna, you know, talking

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 3>about you know, the joke is that you know, if

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 3>you're going out and you want to get outfit or

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 3>you're trying to get something designer and you can't afford

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:14.680
<v Speaker 3>it in the moment, you use Klara to get It's like, yeah,

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:16.800
<v Speaker 3>it's like layaway now, I feel you.

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 1>What is the like?

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.120
<v Speaker 5>So, the way that Klarna gets paid is they take

0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.800
<v Speaker 5>a merchant fee that is a percentage of what it costs.

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 2>So the idea is they get their costs from the merchant.

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 2>They get their money from the merchants.

0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Is they already elevating the price anyway?

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:31.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.400
<v Speaker 5>So it's like I used to work for groupon back

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 5>in the day, and the thought behind it is they

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.400
<v Speaker 5>feel seats that would normally be empty. If you give

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:43.399
<v Speaker 5>them a discount, you can make fifty percent of what

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 5>you would normally make instead of zero. So I guess

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 5>that's how they can sell people on using Klarna and

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:50.960
<v Speaker 5>have to pay merchants rather.

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.399
<v Speaker 1>I should now that I know that. I think it

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 1>makes sense.

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:58.119
<v Speaker 2>It's like it's another form of group economics, and it's

0:20:58.160 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 2>what people need to understand. Black people used to do

0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:01.399
<v Speaker 2>this lot back in the day. He used to be

0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:04.040
<v Speaker 2>called the Susu susu.

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:04.199
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's just like we all low money.

0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Say we all put in one hundred dollars, so there's

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 2>five of us. So it's Kadeen's week. She gets to

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 2>five hundred dollars. It's a saving savings plan, but she

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:18.560
<v Speaker 2>gets five hundred dollars to work to have that for

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 2>whatever she wants it for for that week. But then

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:22.440
<v Speaker 2>the next week she got to put in her hundred

0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 2>dollars and that week goes to Josh and he's going,

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I think this is the same thing. Say you don't

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.639
<v Speaker 2>have a group to do a sushu or group economics,

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 2>but you need something in that moment.

0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'll play a premium because I can pay overtime.

0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that that's a bad thing, especially now

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 2>with the tariffs and with you know, we're heading towards

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:42.119
<v Speaker 2>a recession, people are trying to find ways to survive.

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't use it all the time because clearly, since

0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 2>you're playing a premium, you're paying probably close to twice

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 2>as much.

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.479
<v Speaker 5>No, there's no there's no interest, there's no fees you

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 5>pay exactly not.

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:55.639
<v Speaker 1>There has to be a fee you said there is.

0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 8>According to GBT, there is. If you use a financing

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 8>has to be a monthly final. If use financing monthly payments,

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.160
<v Speaker 8>interest may be charged depending on the terms of your loan.

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 5>But it's all financing is only used if you're not

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.879
<v Speaker 5>going to pay for it in four payments, which wouldn't

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:15.600
<v Speaker 5>be for food, smaller purchases. Exactly how much it costs

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:17.719
<v Speaker 5>you just split the payment over four per gotcha.

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Thing is you said they have a merchant fee, so

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:21.439
<v Speaker 2>they get the money from the merchant.

0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so the merchant is gonna.

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Charge right Karma Karnakna.

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Know what I'm saying is if it's the hot dog

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 2>is ten dollars, the merchant's probably gonna charge twelve dollars, right,

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:32.240
<v Speaker 2>and then break it.

0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:34.920
<v Speaker 5>Up into That's essentially what they do they're doing door

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 5>Dash is already doing.

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:36.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:38.840
<v Speaker 2>So I'm saying this is they're going to find a

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:40.679
<v Speaker 2>way to get you to spend more money over a

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.879
<v Speaker 2>longer period. Absolutely, but it may be okay for you

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.000
<v Speaker 2>if you don't have twenty dollars in that moment, but

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:49.479
<v Speaker 2>you got five, Okay, I can have twenty dollars by

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 2>the end of the.

0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:51.680
<v Speaker 3>Way, and you gotta eat it, you know what I'm saying.

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 1>So I understand it. People trying to make it right.

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I get it right.

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:58.120
<v Speaker 7>It was people trying to eat So if it helps.

0:22:58.119 --> 0:22:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they just they do.

0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I have to understand the long term effects, and most

0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 2>people don't because most people will be like, oh, I

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.920
<v Speaker 2>could pay five dollars over four payments, so then it's

0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>just like, oh, it's twenty dollars.

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but the hot dog only costs twelve, you know

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying.

0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, you spend the extra eight dollars and

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 2>then people don't realize if you continuously use that now

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.200
<v Speaker 2>doubled your money like I have over the course of

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:21.679
<v Speaker 2>a year, you'd be like, wait a minute, why did

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I spend so much money on this? Because rather than

0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 2>sacrificing and saving. You chose to do it upfront and

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:29.159
<v Speaker 2>pay more money, and that's how they get you in

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:30.439
<v Speaker 2>the trap. It's just like a credit card.

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:32.919
<v Speaker 3>A friend of mine, she was just like, you know,

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:36.200
<v Speaker 3>talking about her in laws. We're having some financial issues.

0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:38.239
<v Speaker 3>She's like, but my father in law are still going

0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:40.240
<v Speaker 3>to go ahead and get this Gucci shirt on Karna

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:42.360
<v Speaker 3>because he knows he could pay it off over time.

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 3>It was for his birthday. But I think it's also

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:49.120
<v Speaker 3>just another avenue for people to continue to spend poorly

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 3>and not invest in the right things. Like food is different.

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 3>It's like I gotta eat out to feed my kids.

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:56.840
<v Speaker 3>I need groceries. Cool, but like when you're doing it

0:23:56.880 --> 0:24:00.640
<v Speaker 3>for lavish things that you essentially can't afford. Like again,

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 3>the rabbit hole of this is.

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 2>The lesson though, and how they get us because what

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Tripple just pointed out, they say there's no interest rate,

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 2>no APR, so people automatically assume, oh, I'm paying the

0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 2>same price for the same products when they don't realize no,

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 2>the interest comes on the back end or the front

0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:24.520
<v Speaker 2>end this time because the product is the product is

0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:27.200
<v Speaker 2>raised two hundred to three hundred percent so that you

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 2>can use it. People probably don't understand that, so hopefully

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:33.000
<v Speaker 2>somebody listening. Here's that when you pay that on Klarna,

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 2>you paying a premium. You're not paying the cost, which

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 2>is typically with any product, Like you buy a pair

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:40.959
<v Speaker 2>of Jordan's one hundred dollars, it costs you thirty two

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 2>dollars to make a pair of Jordan's. But when you

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 2>use something like Clarna, you're gonna pay way more that

0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:47.479
<v Speaker 2>people need to understand that before they use it. But

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't see anything wrong with it as long as

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:50.880
<v Speaker 2>you have to understanding.

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:52.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think.

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:56.920
<v Speaker 5>I don't think poor people should have to not have

0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:59.280
<v Speaker 5>what they want. If you're working, if you're making money,

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 5>if you're paying your b you have a roof over

0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 5>your head, you have the essentials. You shouldn't have to

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 5>sacrifice everything. You should be able to do something that

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 5>you enjoy with your money. I agree, and so, but

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 5>a lot of times people who don't make a lot

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:14.760
<v Speaker 5>of money, they don't have credit, they don't have credit cards.

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 5>They can't, you know, buy something now, pay for it

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 5>later like people with better income and better credit due.

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:23.639
<v Speaker 5>So I think that Clarina after pay can be a

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:25.960
<v Speaker 5>good thing for those people, so that they can actually

0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 5>buy things that they want without breaking the bank, without

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:31.160
<v Speaker 5>having to sacrifice paying a bill.

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.199
<v Speaker 2>But how important is the things that you want if

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:35.880
<v Speaker 2>you're not where you need to be in life?

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:37.480
<v Speaker 6>Joy is important as hell.

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 5>And I'm not saying going out to spend all of

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:41.400
<v Speaker 5>your money on things that you want, but you should

0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 5>be able to buy yourself something once a month if

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 5>you're working.

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Not if you can't afford it.

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 2>I spent four years of not buying anything, not going

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:51.639
<v Speaker 2>This is a fact. When we was going through our hustle.

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 2>There was no design to close, there was no bags,

0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:56.119
<v Speaker 2>there was no Jordan's. I wore the same T shirts

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:58.439
<v Speaker 2>every day. You can't go on no vacations. And I

0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 2>think that's a bigger lesson for people. Is joy is fleeting,

0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:06.879
<v Speaker 2>That's life? Sure, so is life life. Life is fleeting.

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:07.640
<v Speaker 6>That's my thing.

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 5>Like, if I've spent four years waiting to enjoy my life,

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:13.640
<v Speaker 5>who knows where I'm gonna be four years from now,

0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:16.359
<v Speaker 5>I might not even be able to enjoy my life.

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 6>And for me it's a personal thing.

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:20.160
<v Speaker 5>I watched my sister get sick at twenty one years

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 5>old and not be able to walk and not be

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:23.919
<v Speaker 5>able to take care of herself and die when she

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:24.479
<v Speaker 5>was forty.

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so.

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is different.

0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I do joy is important in life and life is fleeting. Yeah,

0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 2>I just I think we as people need to do

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 2>what's important to us. That's why I can't take away

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:42.359
<v Speaker 2>your perspective of how you feel, like because you've.

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Seen someone close to you die at a young age.

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 2>So when you tell people you have time, that's kind

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 2>of like nah, So I.

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Get that's me trying to even just get you to

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 3>enjoy like the winds in the moment and not just

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:56.879
<v Speaker 3>thinking about what's next next, you know, or how we

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 3>can elevate and do more. It's like, here's a winning moment,

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:02.359
<v Speaker 3>sit in it and absorb it and be grateful in

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:03.159
<v Speaker 3>the moment. You know.

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:05.399
<v Speaker 1>That's true. Yeah, that's true.

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, there's two It's two sides to the same

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.720
<v Speaker 5>coin pretty much, because you gotta you gotta be responsible,

0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:23.480
<v Speaker 5>but you also all right, So one more topic that's

0:27:23.520 --> 0:27:26.240
<v Speaker 5>going to lead into what we're talking about today. Uh,

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.359
<v Speaker 5>there's a woman I follow on Instagram. Her name is

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:31.840
<v Speaker 5>sand Bovel. She like works in AI and recently she

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.120
<v Speaker 5>was speaking at some kind of conference where She said,

0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:39.120
<v Speaker 5>we need to stop preparing kids for jobs because jobs

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 5>are going to change, and I guess, as somebody that's

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 5>working in AI, that's something that you know firsthand.

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:48.360
<v Speaker 6>She said. Instead, we need to prepare them for.

0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 5>The problems they want to solve and how to be

0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 5>better participants in the world.

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I agree. I have a strong opinion on this.

0:27:57.400 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I agree people get afraid of technology but don't realize

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:05.399
<v Speaker 2>that technology has always evolved. For example, back in the

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.679
<v Speaker 2>seventeen hundreds eighteen hundreds, right when everyone was trying to

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 2>figure out the cotton gin because cotton was the biggest

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:14.399
<v Speaker 2>thing that made America a world power.

0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 1>If they told all kids.

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:18.240
<v Speaker 2>At that time, all you need to focus on the

0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 2>rest of your life is how to work with cotton gin,

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:20.800
<v Speaker 2>where would we be.

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:24.120
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. But instead, let's work on innovation.

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:26.199
<v Speaker 2>Let's work on growth, like our kids are not going

0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 2>to have to worry about mainframing and doing things that

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Like my father did you know zero one zero one

0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to programming a computer? Then I did that.

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:39.120
<v Speaker 2>So let them focus on artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence to

0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:40.840
<v Speaker 2>me is not the bad guy. You know, and I

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:43.440
<v Speaker 2>know being in the TV industry, people just like, well,

0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:46.600
<v Speaker 2>what about them using artificial intelligence for actors. I'm gonna

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:48.080
<v Speaker 2>take you guys back to a little bit of time,

0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:50.960
<v Speaker 2>right back in the day when it was just theaters.

0:28:51.360 --> 0:28:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Destians were considered people who were in the theater. And

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:56.640
<v Speaker 2>then you know what happened. Cameras came out and people

0:28:56.680 --> 0:29:00.239
<v Speaker 2>started to film theaters, and they they used to these

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:03.000
<v Speaker 2>penny movies. Right, people don't notice a penny movie where

0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:05.200
<v Speaker 2>somebody would come with a camera and they would film

0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:07.240
<v Speaker 2>the theater and then for a penny you could go

0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 2>watch it and the little thing watch it. And people

0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 2>at that time were upset. Was like, no one's gonna

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 2>come to the theater anymore if they can continue to

0:29:14.280 --> 0:29:19.000
<v Speaker 2>watch these little penny movies. And then penny movies became movies,

0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 2>and then radio, then television and now streaming.

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:25.720
<v Speaker 1>It's like there's always going to be a new technology.

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.920
<v Speaker 2>We as people have to stop running from technology and

0:29:29.040 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 2>understand that these advancements can be good for us if

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 2>we learn them.

0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:33.720
<v Speaker 1>So our kids should learn that, that's my opinion.

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So not be preparing for jobs per se.

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't be prepared to just have a job like

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 2>that's but that's also what's wrong with society.

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 1>We put so much.

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Emphasis, an emphasis on what somebody does as an occupation

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 2>that defines people. Right the first thing you meet someone, right,

0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 2>you don't ask them, you know what I'm saying, You're healthy,

0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:52.160
<v Speaker 2>you know what's your life?

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Use that what you do? What you do the first

0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:55.840
<v Speaker 3>thing the conversation starter.

0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 2>And then people start talking about how much money they make,

0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 2>what their job is, and then you're like, damn, but

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 2>you have a whole other life that you don't even

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 2>talk about. Right, So I think we should stop preparing

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:07.480
<v Speaker 2>kids to feel a way about their job.

0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I know people who are no longer children,

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 3>they're in their thirties and still don't know what job

0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 3>they want to do, you.

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 6>Know what I'm saying.

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 3>So it's like preparing kids solely for one particular job

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:20.240
<v Speaker 3>or one particular lane. I think is insane. I think

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:23.560
<v Speaker 3>the fact that you even have to think of what

0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 3>you want to do for the rest of your life

0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 3>at seventeen and eighteen years old as you approach college

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 3>is insanity. Because I've changed my mind about fifty eleven

0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:36.080
<v Speaker 3>times at this point, I want forty one. Just finding

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 3>my way.

0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:41.640
<v Speaker 9>Pediatrician, pediatrician, lawyer of doctor, you know, nurse all what

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:44.720
<v Speaker 9>pressure is from like my family about what I should

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 9>and shouldn't do, and pressures up on myself.

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 3>So I'm my opinion is, yeah, I completely agree with her.

0:30:50.120 --> 0:30:52.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that we should be preparing children for

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:55.880
<v Speaker 3>jobs per se. Prepare them to be good human beings,

0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Prepare them to seek happiness, Prepare them to be global

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 3>cities and to travel the world and just see things

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:06.200
<v Speaker 3>and be exposed to different cultures. Like that's what we're about.

0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Like you know how many times I've teered on the

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:10.920
<v Speaker 3>maybe we should just be homeschooling our children and like

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 3>backpacking around the world so that they can experience other cultures. Like, man,

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 3>that's what I think is important. This whole nine to

0:31:17.880 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 3>five I forgot when I think I recently read an

0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 3>article about when the nine to five was like enacted

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 3>in culture, but it wasn't always a thing. Like you

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:28.920
<v Speaker 3>go to other cultures and they're not doing nine to five.

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 3>It's like they'll work for a little bit and they'll

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:32.960
<v Speaker 3>have their afternoon tea. People go home for a nap,

0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 3>then you wake up again, you come back and you

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 3>have your little business over for four hours, Like only

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 3>in America do you do this.

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:41.920
<v Speaker 1>It became a nine to five thing to ensure production.

0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:45.719
<v Speaker 2>I think people don't understand that about the the what

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:50.120
<v Speaker 2>is it called capital industrial complex yep, Like the nine

0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 2>to five was a place where all of the employers

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:54.239
<v Speaker 2>was like, we need all of our people who do

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:56.600
<v Speaker 2>our job to come to one central location. You're gonna

0:31:56.600 --> 0:31:58.240
<v Speaker 2>put hours on them. They have to clock in and

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 2>clock out right and get shit done right. And then

0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:02.800
<v Speaker 2>it changed a little bit over the last couple of

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 2>years with the pandemic and people were like, oh, we

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:07.560
<v Speaker 2>can work more from home. And now people are opening

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:09.080
<v Speaker 2>up their mind to the fact like wait a minute,

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have to go into that office because think

0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 2>about it. If you work somewhere and it's an hour

0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 2>and a half commute, and then you work from nine

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 2>to five, then it's an hour and a half commute home,

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:23.600
<v Speaker 2>you're ultimately spending eleven hours of your day focused on

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the job, building someone else's dream.

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 3>That was for me at Matt Cosmetics. You remember driving

0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:30.440
<v Speaker 3>to Roosevelt Field Moore working a nine to ten hour

0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:33.120
<v Speaker 3>shift and then having a drive having no life outside

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 3>of that. Yeah, so what y'all think.

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 4>What was your question?

0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 1>No, she was still about they were saying that they're

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 1>saying we should no.

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Longer for job.

0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:46.560
<v Speaker 1>There is just for jobs.

0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 8>So for me, I think it's more about raising children

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 8>to be creative thinkers, to be tech savvy, to not

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 8>necessarily think about jobs. So my opinion would be one

0:32:57.720 --> 0:32:59.719
<v Speaker 8>the same line as y'all was like, Yeah, there's no

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 8>need to be raising children to be like I'm gonna

0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:05.160
<v Speaker 8>be a doctor today because the reality is that most

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 8>of the jobs that are that we currently understand as

0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:11.240
<v Speaker 8>as as earning.

0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Jobs, will be gone absolutely right.

0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 8>We already automation happening in auto auto industry, UH tech

0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 8>industry up. That's that's the same thing is going to

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:25.920
<v Speaker 8>be happening for the medical field, robotics and and AI

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:30.800
<v Speaker 8>taking over. So raising creative thinkers, sneers, people who can

0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:36.080
<v Speaker 8>or children who can ah create jobs based on their

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:39.800
<v Speaker 8>own interest or the needs of society, I'm glad that's

0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 8>probably the best route to take as opposed to uh,

0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:47.960
<v Speaker 8>jobs that are that started during the industrial period or

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:52.160
<v Speaker 8>jobs that started when we needed to build America as

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 8>a as a country.

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:54.920
<v Speaker 4>It's now innovation.

0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:58.000
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I'm glad you brought this up trouble because

0:33:58.000 --> 0:33:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I have a very unique thought and I want to

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:01.480
<v Speaker 2>hear what I have to say after go ahead, Man.

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:03.320
<v Speaker 10>I agree with y'all.

0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 7>But at the same time, I'm also like, I just

0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 7>thought of it was like, no, we need some of

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:11.040
<v Speaker 7>these jobs. We need some of these parents to push

0:34:11.040 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 7>people to these jobs because some of some doctors only

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:17.319
<v Speaker 7>became doctors and became great doctors because our parents pushed

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 7>them to be that. We might not have a lot

0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 7>of pros in specialists in these areas if people not.

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 10>Push to those areas.

0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 1>That is a fact.

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:29.600
<v Speaker 10>That's the only thing I'm thinking about.

0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:34.120
<v Speaker 2>That is a fact because if everybody goosey like I

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:36.640
<v Speaker 2>be creative today, I'm Gonnawitch'm gonna do something else.

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:38.640
<v Speaker 10>But we need somebody who's going to dedicate to this.

0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:42.600
<v Speaker 8>We're always civity can happen in the same field itself.

0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 10>I agree.

0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 7>I'm just thinking about the standpoint of your I'm saying,

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 7>as parents raising kids, we can still guide them towards something.

0:34:50.840 --> 0:35:02.240
<v Speaker 8>Yet, creator helmet I got you, do not gear your kids.

0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:02.799
<v Speaker 1>To do not gear them to do that.

0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:05.640
<v Speaker 2>That happens organically when they find something they want to do.

0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:08.520
<v Speaker 2>But if you gear your kids towards being a content creator,

0:35:08.560 --> 0:35:10.920
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be a worse content trust me.

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:14.360
<v Speaker 8>And that's not going to be a job in ten years.

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:16.080
<v Speaker 3>It's not It wasn't a job ten years ago.

0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not tribute.

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:23.000
<v Speaker 6>Would you think trip, Yeah, I think yeah.

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 5>Teaching kids how to solve problems, making kids aware about

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 5>what the problems are in the world so that they can,

0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:33.720
<v Speaker 5>you know, either be interested or not interested in figuring

0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:37.360
<v Speaker 5>out a solution, and letting them, you know, develop their own.

0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 6>Career based on that.

0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:42.279
<v Speaker 5>Also, I feel like supporting kids in the interest that

0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:45.520
<v Speaker 5>they show and their talents as they're growing is super

0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:49.960
<v Speaker 5>helpful as well, because even within certain industries, there's more

0:35:50.080 --> 0:35:53.320
<v Speaker 5>jobs than what kids know or even parents know are available.

0:35:53.400 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 5>Like as a child, I wanted to be an actor

0:35:56.080 --> 0:35:58.480
<v Speaker 5>and a singer. My first career day I went as

0:35:58.520 --> 0:36:03.480
<v Speaker 5>a superstar, a movie star actually, But I didn't learn

0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:07.920
<v Speaker 5>until after I graduated college with a business degree that

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.759
<v Speaker 5>I could be a producer or I could be, you know,

0:36:10.840 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 5>something else in the industry that wasn't necessarily a performer.

0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 5>And if I would have known that before, I probably

0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:21.120
<v Speaker 5>could have honed some of the skills that I was

0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:23.239
<v Speaker 5>teaching myself or went to college to learn some of

0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:27.480
<v Speaker 5>those skills professionally and not have taken like five years

0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:28.719
<v Speaker 5>to figure to figure it out.

0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:30.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:34.600
<v Speaker 5>But also I think a problem that we do have

0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:38.080
<v Speaker 5>that some kids should be encouraged to try to solve

0:36:38.160 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 5>is like, we're about to run out of electricians, We're

0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:43.360
<v Speaker 5>about to deny have enough plumbers. Yeah, you know what

0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying. Everybody wants to do something fancy.

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:47.960
<v Speaker 2>We was just talking to the young man that was

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:49.680
<v Speaker 2>in the houses. You see all the work was done.

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 2>There was a young man shout out to mister James.

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:53.680
<v Speaker 2>He brought a young man, Colin by the house. Colin

0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:56.440
<v Speaker 2>was fourteen. Wow, and he was here the middle of today.

0:36:56.880 --> 0:36:59.200
<v Speaker 2>So me and Matt was like, Yo, this is impressive

0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:00.840
<v Speaker 2>that you have a young man in the middle of

0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the day learning about a trade. And then he was

0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:06.080
<v Speaker 2>just like he was my mother is a real estate agent.

0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:07.920
<v Speaker 2>She always needs work.

0:37:07.719 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Done on the house. So I'm gonna learn how to

0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:10.319
<v Speaker 1>do this.

0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:13.200
<v Speaker 2>But that also goes to what Matt was saying and

0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:17.000
<v Speaker 2>what Josh was saying. He had to be here because

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the people in his life told him, you need a mentor,

0:37:19.560 --> 0:37:21.799
<v Speaker 2>so they forced him to do something, which is what

0:37:21.840 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Matt was saying. What Josh was saying is he realized

0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:28.920
<v Speaker 2>that his mom sells houses, but they need people all

0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the time to fix electricity and plums. So he figured

0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:35.520
<v Speaker 2>out that he wanted to focus on that. This is

0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:37.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna bring me to the legacy you build for your

0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:39.799
<v Speaker 2>kids outside of finances.

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Right. I said to k about a year ago, Canini

0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:44.799
<v Speaker 1>is gonna sound crazy.

0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:49.000
<v Speaker 3>But everything sounds crazy. He prefaces everything by saying, I

0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:50.560
<v Speaker 3>know I'm gonna sound crazy, but I'm like, what.

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I do know?

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:56.600
<v Speaker 2>But what if our kids never worked, and what if

0:37:56.640 --> 0:37:58.040
<v Speaker 2>we never put on them?

0:37:58.360 --> 0:37:59.840
<v Speaker 1>You have to go work for somebody.

0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 2>For example, I'm confident that we are going to be

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:09.040
<v Speaker 2>worth over nine figures. Right, So in that case, do

0:38:09.160 --> 0:38:10.600
<v Speaker 2>I have to go out there and tell my son,

0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:12.279
<v Speaker 2>y'all gotta gotta go out there and get more money.

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:13.600
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't have to.

0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:16.200
<v Speaker 2>But what I can tell him is, like what you said, trouble.

0:38:16.480 --> 0:38:18.319
<v Speaker 2>There are problems going on in the world you think

0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 2>you want to solve. Son, Take the money that you've

0:38:21.320 --> 0:38:25.480
<v Speaker 2>already accrued, we've accrued as a family, build something, create

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:28.760
<v Speaker 2>something that's gonna help solve that. I watch Will Smith's

0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:32.200
<v Speaker 2>son Jaden. He's focused on hydrating the planet and he

0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:34.840
<v Speaker 2>came up with this just that's his thing. And I'm like,

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:37.840
<v Speaker 2>that's so dope that people don't even put And I

0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:40.239
<v Speaker 2>see some comments people like, look, rich kids get to

0:38:40.280 --> 0:38:41.919
<v Speaker 2>do whatever they want to do, and I'm like, yeah,

0:38:41.920 --> 0:38:43.799
<v Speaker 2>here's a rich kid who can do whatever he wants

0:38:43.800 --> 0:38:45.960
<v Speaker 2>to do. So rather than go out there and take

0:38:46.080 --> 0:38:49.360
<v Speaker 2>every role because he's Will Smith's son, he's choosing to

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 2>take his money and invest in something that's gonna help

0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:52.720
<v Speaker 2>people in the planet.

0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:53.480
<v Speaker 3>That's a great point.

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:54.799
<v Speaker 1>And I said to Kay, I was like, what if

0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:55.480
<v Speaker 1>our kids do that?

0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not gonna sit here and tell Jackson, like,

0:38:57.680 --> 0:39:00.120
<v Speaker 2>well you better be a fifth a first round I'm

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:01.200
<v Speaker 2>picking win super Bowl.

0:39:01.280 --> 0:39:02.320
<v Speaker 3>No that.

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do this, man, what do you

0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:03.880
<v Speaker 1>want to do.

0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I want to be a humanitarian, you know, I want

0:39:06.200 --> 0:39:07.640
<v Speaker 2>to I want to build some I want to get

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:09.320
<v Speaker 2>some land in Africa and I want to build this

0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:10.680
<v Speaker 2>and I want to do that. I'm gonna be like

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:15.040
<v Speaker 2>fuck yeah, because at this point, your occupation does nothing

0:39:15.160 --> 0:39:16.440
<v Speaker 2>to us as humans.

0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:19.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, why do we have occupations to make money.

0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Why do we have jobs to make money? So it's like,

0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:26.560
<v Speaker 3>if you now have built the legacy financially for your

0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 3>children to be able to then impact the world and

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:31.520
<v Speaker 3>the way they see, yes, then it's like why not.

0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:33.280
<v Speaker 3>That was the whole point of it anyway.

0:39:34.120 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 7>Now that's what you're working and building towards to give

0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:39.879
<v Speaker 7>them that free to go and be a productive member

0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:40.400
<v Speaker 7>of society.

0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes. Now, I'm gonna tell you something, right, it's when

0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:43.960
<v Speaker 3>they piss it away then that's the problem.

0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna tell you something crazy, right. Had this conversation

0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:49.400
<v Speaker 2>amongst some of my cast members. I'm not going to

0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 2>say with casts, but they of course were women, and

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:52.840
<v Speaker 2>they were like, I don't know if I met a

0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:54.600
<v Speaker 2>dude who have money who just wanted to save the

0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:56.160
<v Speaker 2>world that, I don't know if I could marry a

0:39:56.239 --> 0:39:58.040
<v Speaker 2>dude like that. And I said, you see, that's the

0:39:58.120 --> 0:40:01.040
<v Speaker 2>mindset we were brought up. We were all brought up

0:40:01.120 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 2>that your occupation defines.

0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:04.840
<v Speaker 1>You as a person. And the minute I say he

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:07.279
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work, but he's doing, you automatically.

0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Went to he's not working because he's lazy or he

0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:10.600
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have no And they were just like, oh, I

0:40:10.640 --> 0:40:11.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize.

0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:13.960
<v Speaker 1>That, I said, but we all do that because for

0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I was pushing Jackson for that same reason. You ain't

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:18.319
<v Speaker 1>going to be a lazy man. You got to get

0:40:18.320 --> 0:40:20.120
<v Speaker 1>a job. You gotta work this many hours, you gotta

0:40:20.160 --> 0:40:20.320
<v Speaker 1>do this.

0:40:20.480 --> 0:40:22.719
<v Speaker 2>And then over the last couple of months, when I

0:40:22.880 --> 0:40:26.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't working as much and I realized how much effort

0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:28.719
<v Speaker 2>and energy I need to put into my kids, I'm like, Yo,

0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:32.479
<v Speaker 2>what if I stop chasing dollars. Okay, we make money.

0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:35.279
<v Speaker 2>What if I stop chasing dollars and focused on how

0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I could be a better human? Shouldn't more people do that?

0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:41.320
<v Speaker 2>And that, to me is what's important about legacy because legacy,

0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:44.920
<v Speaker 2>even with Hove and b people give them the legacy

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:47.120
<v Speaker 2>card because they made a lot of money. But there

0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:50.400
<v Speaker 2>are people who have legacies who are not rich financially,

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:51.719
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying.

0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 1>There are families who have done things in the world

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that have changed the entire world that people have never

0:40:56.520 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>heard about. Look at our.

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Shirvy y Roff's kids. Yes, there is a process now

0:41:03.000 --> 0:41:05.759
<v Speaker 2>of starting their stardom. I know her son just got

0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a role in a in a Christmas.

0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:12.799
<v Speaker 1>And they're doing that on the side. Their main thing is.

0:41:15.480 --> 0:41:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that is like yo, yeah, shout out to and Ivy.

0:41:19.040 --> 0:41:20.120
<v Speaker 3>We had them on last season.

0:41:20.239 --> 0:41:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I think we've reached a point in our lives black

0:41:23.080 --> 0:41:27.000
<v Speaker 2>people where we're no longer the first generation to do stuff.

0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:30.720
<v Speaker 2>My father went to college. Okay, he got his associates degree.

0:41:31.040 --> 0:41:32.960
<v Speaker 2>My mom didn't get her bachelor's degree. But I can't

0:41:32.960 --> 0:41:34.840
<v Speaker 2>sit here and say I'm the first lst that is

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:38.120
<v Speaker 2>something my parents have done things. Absolutely a situation where

0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:41.240
<v Speaker 2>my life is way easier. Absolutely, I understand my privilege

0:41:41.280 --> 0:41:43.840
<v Speaker 2>having both my parents and them there's stilling this in me.

0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:45.520
<v Speaker 2>So I'm like, let's let's move it forward.

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:48.000
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, Like my story, my legacy

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:49.480
<v Speaker 1>don't got to be I came from the gut that

0:41:49.560 --> 0:41:52.399
<v Speaker 1>got shot. You know, I sold drugs. That's not every

0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:54.719
<v Speaker 1>person's story story. You know what I'm saying.

0:41:54.800 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 2>My legacy is going to be I had a really

0:41:56.600 --> 0:42:00.160
<v Speaker 2>good father who also had a really good father to

0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:02.279
<v Speaker 2>be a really good father. And I have a really

0:42:02.320 --> 0:42:04.680
<v Speaker 2>good wife because my father had a really good wife

0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:06.479
<v Speaker 2>and his father had a really good wife.

0:42:06.840 --> 0:42:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And legacy to me is passing one of those things.

0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:11.279
<v Speaker 3>I just money, Yeah, that's why I mentioned culture and

0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:14.479
<v Speaker 3>heritage in my SoundBite when we first opened the show,

0:42:15.000 --> 0:42:17.839
<v Speaker 3>because I look at, like I said, when I went

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:19.959
<v Speaker 3>back home to my dad's country and my mom's country,

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.400
<v Speaker 3>is like seeing where they've come from and the strides

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:24.600
<v Speaker 3>that they were able to make coming over here at

0:42:25.480 --> 0:42:28.720
<v Speaker 3>what seventeen and nineteen years old and working at Burger

0:42:28.800 --> 0:42:31.399
<v Speaker 3>King and building you know, her life up my mom

0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:33.839
<v Speaker 3>and becoming a nurse, and then being able to give

0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 3>us my brother, my sister, and I the opportunities to

0:42:37.840 --> 0:42:40.400
<v Speaker 3>be able to essentially do whatever it is that we wanted.

0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Like that was the one thing that my mom has

0:42:42.800 --> 0:42:46.399
<v Speaker 3>always said to us. She's like, I worked so hard

0:42:46.880 --> 0:42:49.239
<v Speaker 3>to ensure that you guys can do the things that

0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:52.520
<v Speaker 3>you want to do, and that's a fact, not the

0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:54.480
<v Speaker 3>things that you necessarily had to do. Because that was me.

0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:55.360
<v Speaker 1>That's a legacy.

0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:57.680
<v Speaker 3>That's a legacy, you know. And then when I look

0:42:57.719 --> 0:42:59.759
<v Speaker 3>at my kids now, Like the other day, I was

0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:01.239
<v Speaker 3>on the car with Cairo. We were going to a

0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:04.799
<v Speaker 3>birthday party and he was like, Mom, can I DJ?

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:07.600
<v Speaker 3>So I was like, all right, cool, my boy has

0:43:07.680 --> 0:43:12.040
<v Speaker 3>the most extensive, you know, taste in music. On an

0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:15.600
<v Speaker 3>hour long car ride, we went from a little.

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Rat so it was a little baby, little baby.

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:22.600
<v Speaker 3>Little baby to pops. You go to pop smoke, this

0:43:22.800 --> 0:43:25.920
<v Speaker 3>is Cairo. Right then we jumped over to some worship music.

0:43:26.760 --> 0:43:28.560
<v Speaker 10>What does this sound like? By the way, I just

0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:30.440
<v Speaker 10>want you to because you know who it is.

0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Who my brother true?

0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:33.480
<v Speaker 5>You know what that is.

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Watching that Chosen the same person.

0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:46.680
<v Speaker 2>God ain't real. The pyramids was created by aliens. Then

0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:48.600
<v Speaker 2>in the next day will be like I just watched.

0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Chosen and I believe everything I think about the goodness

0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:51.319
<v Speaker 1>of God.

0:43:51.880 --> 0:43:55.399
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, but it was Cairo. So it's like he's listen.

0:43:55.480 --> 0:43:58.040
<v Speaker 3>We're listening to worship music the goodness of God and everything.

0:43:58.120 --> 0:43:59.759
<v Speaker 3>And then we go to a little Bob Marley and

0:43:59.840 --> 0:44:02.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm was like wow, And I said to him, I said,

0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:04.600
<v Speaker 3>you know what, Cairo, I said, I appreciate your taste

0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 3>in music, I said, We've been on a journey, I said,

0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:08.640
<v Speaker 3>but I feel like we need to start playing some

0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:11.759
<v Speaker 3>more music from like Mimi and Papa's country because I

0:44:11.880 --> 0:44:15.440
<v Speaker 3>feel like my legacy, who are my children? But they

0:44:15.520 --> 0:44:17.920
<v Speaker 3>can't die with me? Like they need to hear some

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:21.840
<v Speaker 3>bearists come on and be like, oh, like that's the tune.

0:44:21.880 --> 0:44:23.480
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying. That's how we grew up.

0:44:23.880 --> 0:44:25.960
<v Speaker 3>So it's like now just like playing more music in

0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:29.840
<v Speaker 3>the house and then taking them places and experiencing different cultures,

0:44:29.920 --> 0:44:34.319
<v Speaker 3>not just where we're from. Culture, culture, heritage is like.

0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:38.719
<v Speaker 2>When we came over on the Middle past, absolutely all

0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:40.520
<v Speaker 2>of our culture and heritage were taken from us. So

0:44:40.560 --> 0:44:42.399
<v Speaker 2>that's a good point if you can keep that alive

0:44:42.440 --> 0:44:45.279
<v Speaker 2>with the younger kids teaching history, especially history in.

0:44:45.320 --> 0:44:48.400
<v Speaker 1>The world that is always whitewiseh Absolutely they're trying to.

0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:51.799
<v Speaker 3>Take away from us. Yeah, So that's that's a portion

0:44:51.880 --> 0:44:54.880
<v Speaker 3>of legacy that's not money related, that I think is

0:44:55.000 --> 0:44:59.120
<v Speaker 3>so rich for us and our families moving forward.

0:44:59.520 --> 0:45:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even think about that because your family but

0:45:02.360 --> 0:45:04.360
<v Speaker 2>us from immigrants. You know, both your mom and your

0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:05.640
<v Speaker 2>dad came over here at a young age, so I

0:45:05.680 --> 0:45:07.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize how important that was to you.

0:45:08.200 --> 0:45:10.120
<v Speaker 1>But not hearing it, it doesn't make sense.

0:45:10.360 --> 0:45:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because our kids won't only be able to say

0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm American.

0:45:14.640 --> 0:45:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, their family, their lineage, their heritage.

0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:18.759
<v Speaker 3>Goes way way beyond it.

0:45:19.239 --> 0:45:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I think we all as as black people, need to

0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:24.719
<v Speaker 2>start doing more lineage to find out where we came from.

0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Like our story doesn't start here in sixteen nineteen, you

0:45:28.920 --> 0:45:30.960
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying, Like our story starts way before that.

0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's important that we use the knowledge

0:45:33.560 --> 0:45:35.480
<v Speaker 2>we have to continue to push that forward.

0:45:35.600 --> 0:45:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, absolutely, so we can open up the legacy conversation

0:45:39.880 --> 0:45:42.560
<v Speaker 3>round table if anybody else has in two sense that

0:45:42.600 --> 0:45:45.800
<v Speaker 3>they want to add to this legacy.

0:45:45.600 --> 0:45:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I do have or like because I wonder, like Matt,

0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:50.480
<v Speaker 2>you don't have any kids yet, Trible, you don't have

0:45:50.520 --> 0:45:54.480
<v Speaker 2>any kids yet? Do y'all think about how? Because me,

0:45:54.719 --> 0:45:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Josh and Kay have kids, we know what it's like

0:45:57.320 --> 0:45:59.239
<v Speaker 2>when you wake up. Do you think about like, I'm

0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:02.200
<v Speaker 2>going to do this is from my child when? Or

0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:04.360
<v Speaker 2>is it just like I'm only focusing on my personal

0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 2>legacy right now?

0:46:06.320 --> 0:46:06.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:46:06.560 --> 0:46:11.759
<v Speaker 5>I used to think about it when I wasn't when

0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:13.760
<v Speaker 5>I didn't think I was too old to have kids.

0:46:14.080 --> 0:46:17.160
<v Speaker 6>You think, I do you do?

0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:18.520
<v Speaker 1>You're not too old.

0:46:18.560 --> 0:46:22.560
<v Speaker 3>You're not too old at all. So can help you

0:46:22.640 --> 0:46:23.440
<v Speaker 3>too if you need help.

0:46:23.560 --> 0:46:24.640
<v Speaker 6>Okay, thank you so much.

0:46:25.239 --> 0:46:26.520
<v Speaker 11>I know a lot of guys that want to help

0:46:26.520 --> 0:46:28.919
<v Speaker 11>you too. I don't know if you want that kind

0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:30.640
<v Speaker 11>of help, but there's a lot of guys that's watching

0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:35.279
<v Speaker 11>right now and be like, please practice what it takes

0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:35.879
<v Speaker 11>to get there.

0:46:39.880 --> 0:46:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Time on my page, They're like, whoa, I know you

0:46:42.560 --> 0:46:43.920
<v Speaker 1>had a sister. How did you get here? You just

0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:44.320
<v Speaker 1>want to know?

0:46:44.840 --> 0:46:49.120
<v Speaker 6>You just want to know something, right. That is so funny.

0:46:49.960 --> 0:46:53.239
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, I do think about that a lot, because, Yeah,

0:46:53.360 --> 0:46:55.480
<v Speaker 5>I think my parents did the best they could with

0:46:55.560 --> 0:46:59.720
<v Speaker 5>what they have. You know, they have barely you know, college,

0:46:59.840 --> 0:47:08.080
<v Speaker 5>They worked and survived and and scarcity, and I had

0:47:08.120 --> 0:47:09.520
<v Speaker 5>the best of what they had to give.

0:47:09.600 --> 0:47:12.880
<v Speaker 6>I think the child. Yeah, And so.

0:47:15.360 --> 0:47:17.080
<v Speaker 5>I think that if I do have kids, that I

0:47:17.160 --> 0:47:20.640
<v Speaker 5>could give them more than that because I've learned so

0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:22.800
<v Speaker 5>much even from from what I have and from what

0:47:22.920 --> 0:47:23.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't have.

0:47:24.000 --> 0:47:25.359
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, I think about that all the time.

0:47:26.320 --> 0:47:28.640
<v Speaker 10>Yeah. For me, I absolutely think about it.

0:47:28.719 --> 0:47:31.040
<v Speaker 7>I try to take steps from right now in my

0:47:31.160 --> 0:47:33.080
<v Speaker 7>career path so that I could try to set up

0:47:33.080 --> 0:47:36.560
<v Speaker 7>places for the future so I can, like even with.

0:47:36.640 --> 0:47:38.560
<v Speaker 1>My art, yeah, talk about it. So I want to

0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:39.360
<v Speaker 1>talk about.

0:47:39.920 --> 0:47:41.760
<v Speaker 7>I want to be able to have an extensive gallery

0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:44.400
<v Speaker 7>that even if I'm going my kids can have that

0:47:44.520 --> 0:47:47.960
<v Speaker 7>and pass that down. It can a crewe wealth for them.

0:47:49.000 --> 0:47:51.120
<v Speaker 7>I have a freedom for them. I think about that

0:47:51.160 --> 0:47:51.480
<v Speaker 7>from now.

0:47:52.040 --> 0:47:54.200
<v Speaker 2>See, one thing I noticed from everyone here is the

0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:58.680
<v Speaker 2>freedom m right, Like, it's not just accruing wealth to

0:47:58.760 --> 0:48:01.000
<v Speaker 2>say I have money, it's one wealth to give my

0:48:01.120 --> 0:48:03.919
<v Speaker 2>kids freedom to do whatever they want to do as

0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:07.640
<v Speaker 2>young black kids on this planet. That's just the bottom line.

0:48:07.680 --> 0:48:11.960
<v Speaker 2>We haven't experienced that. I haven't experienced that in my lifetime.

0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:14.520
<v Speaker 2>But it would be good like to be able to

0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:15.239
<v Speaker 2>be like Jack's what do.

0:48:15.239 --> 0:48:17.359
<v Speaker 1>You want to do? Go ahead, walk free. We talk

0:48:17.400 --> 0:48:17.719
<v Speaker 1>about it.

0:48:17.680 --> 0:48:19.320
<v Speaker 2>All the time, to be able to walk free, to

0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:21.400
<v Speaker 2>walk free. But there's one thing you did bring up

0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:25.880
<v Speaker 2>that's important. You can't get freedom without capitalism in this world.

0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:28.920
<v Speaker 2>It's impossible. And the only way you can get some

0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:30.960
<v Speaker 2>sort of freedom is if you completely go off the

0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:33.359
<v Speaker 2>grid and be like, I'm not buying in at all

0:48:33.920 --> 0:48:36.480
<v Speaker 2>to any of these things. But at some point you're

0:48:36.480 --> 0:48:38.000
<v Speaker 2>going to get your point where you're going to need

0:48:38.160 --> 0:48:41.080
<v Speaker 2>something or someone who is in this I forget that

0:48:41.280 --> 0:48:46.200
<v Speaker 2>this is capital industrial complex or is the capitalist industrial complex.

0:48:46.600 --> 0:48:48.359
<v Speaker 2>At some point your life is going to cross there,

0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:50.759
<v Speaker 2>and we can't ignore that and say that finances don't matter.

0:48:50.760 --> 0:48:53.479
<v Speaker 3>It don't matter exactly. To wrap it up, I guess

0:48:53.800 --> 0:48:56.360
<v Speaker 3>one question Triuble had here. I guess this could be

0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:58.600
<v Speaker 3>for me and you and Josh. What scares you about

0:48:58.640 --> 0:49:04.560
<v Speaker 3>how your kids may turn out? Interesting already? Yeah, right, exactly.

0:49:05.640 --> 0:49:10.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be honest. Nothing scares me because I know

0:49:10.320 --> 0:49:15.040
<v Speaker 2>my kids are not. I am involved in my kids life.

0:49:15.480 --> 0:49:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm never gonna say the TV, the iPad of this.

0:49:18.440 --> 0:49:21.719
<v Speaker 2>My kids are going to hear my perspective now that

0:49:21.800 --> 0:49:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying it. I am afraid. I'm afraid that I

0:49:24.320 --> 0:49:25.520
<v Speaker 2>was wrong about something.

0:49:27.680 --> 0:49:29.759
<v Speaker 3>Like this. You're afraid that you were wrong about something

0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:30.319
<v Speaker 3>you taught now.

0:49:30.360 --> 0:49:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Like for example, I've always been this is the question

0:49:32.320 --> 0:49:34.040
<v Speaker 2>I always ask my dad, and I used to cry,

0:49:34.160 --> 0:49:37.359
<v Speaker 2>ask in this what if we're all wrong about Christianity?

0:49:38.680 --> 0:49:39.600
<v Speaker 1>He was like, what you mean?

0:49:40.000 --> 0:49:42.160
<v Speaker 2>I said, you told me, based on the Bible that

0:49:42.239 --> 0:49:44.719
<v Speaker 2>I have to believe in Christ, and I have to

0:49:44.800 --> 0:49:47.279
<v Speaker 2>believe in God, and I have to do all these

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:49.920
<v Speaker 2>things to go to heaven. Right, But there's thousands of

0:49:50.000 --> 0:49:55.680
<v Speaker 2>other religions that are contradictory to Christianity, which means somebody's right,

0:49:55.760 --> 0:49:56.399
<v Speaker 2>somebody's wrong.

0:49:57.480 --> 0:49:58.239
<v Speaker 1>What if we're wrong?

0:49:58.880 --> 0:50:01.320
<v Speaker 2>And that's my only fear is that everything I believed

0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:04.720
<v Speaker 2>or thought or was working on towards building my family

0:50:04.840 --> 0:50:08.200
<v Speaker 2>is wrong, and now I've indoctrinated into my sons a

0:50:08.280 --> 0:50:10.359
<v Speaker 2>wrong belief system, which is why I'm pretty deep into

0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:13.200
<v Speaker 2>listening because I never want to be that guy that's

0:50:13.200 --> 0:50:14.680
<v Speaker 2>just like, only think one way right.

0:50:15.080 --> 0:50:17.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's my fear now that I've said it out loud.

0:50:17.239 --> 0:50:19.399
<v Speaker 2>My only fear is being wrong about what I thought

0:50:19.480 --> 0:50:21.200
<v Speaker 2>and teaching my kids that I want them to be

0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:22.919
<v Speaker 2>open minded to listen.

0:50:23.200 --> 0:50:27.040
<v Speaker 3>But I think with your intent and your heart and

0:50:27.120 --> 0:50:29.719
<v Speaker 3>the things that you know deep down, it's like, no,

0:50:29.880 --> 0:50:33.279
<v Speaker 3>I have only the best intention for my children. That

0:50:33.360 --> 0:50:36.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't feel like you about.

0:50:36.080 --> 0:50:37.240
<v Speaker 1>That intent versus impact.

0:50:37.840 --> 0:50:39.719
<v Speaker 2>You can intend to do something and if it don't

0:50:39.760 --> 0:50:41.799
<v Speaker 2>land properly, if impact that person in the.

0:50:41.800 --> 0:50:44.279
<v Speaker 3>Wrong way, they could negatively impact them.

0:50:44.880 --> 0:50:48.280
<v Speaker 2>There are tons of older white people now our age

0:50:48.600 --> 0:50:51.280
<v Speaker 2>who grew up during the time where their parents believe

0:50:51.360 --> 0:50:54.520
<v Speaker 2>that slavery or their grandparents believe that slavery was okay,

0:50:54.920 --> 0:50:57.880
<v Speaker 2>and they evendoctrinated into these young white kids that mindset,

0:50:58.000 --> 0:51:00.080
<v Speaker 2>that mindset, and now they're older realized, like, yo, our

0:51:00.120 --> 0:51:01.040
<v Speaker 2>grandparents was wrong.

0:51:01.760 --> 0:51:02.399
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:51:02.760 --> 0:51:05.279
<v Speaker 2>What happens if you don't get that realization before it's

0:51:05.320 --> 0:51:07.520
<v Speaker 2>too late. Maybe you've done some things in that you die.

0:51:07.640 --> 0:51:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Now you got to meet your maker, and now your

0:51:10.040 --> 0:51:11.919
<v Speaker 2>maker tells you all these things you did in life

0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:14.359
<v Speaker 2>were wrong. Yeah, you follow them. That's my biggest fear

0:51:14.680 --> 0:51:16.399
<v Speaker 2>is that I might have led my kids. That's why

0:51:16.440 --> 0:51:19.000
<v Speaker 2>when my kids bring me questions like I used to

0:51:19.040 --> 0:51:21.520
<v Speaker 2>bring my parents, shun them or shame them.

0:51:21.680 --> 0:51:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I say, where did you get that thought process?

0:51:23.960 --> 0:51:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's discuss this together.

0:51:25.200 --> 0:51:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, there's a lot of that happening as they

0:51:27.600 --> 0:51:29.680
<v Speaker 3>get older. And I think maybe because we have the

0:51:29.760 --> 0:51:31.880
<v Speaker 3>open door policy with them where they feel so comfortable

0:51:31.920 --> 0:51:34.760
<v Speaker 3>coming to talk to us about stuff. It's like, okay,

0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:37.719
<v Speaker 3>we ask questions and they give us honest answers. At

0:51:37.760 --> 0:51:39.480
<v Speaker 3>the end of twenty twenty four, we were like, all right,

0:51:39.480 --> 0:51:40.960
<v Speaker 3>what do you guys want to learn more about or

0:51:41.000 --> 0:51:43.800
<v Speaker 3>do more? In twenty twenty five, Cairo was like, I know,

0:51:44.520 --> 0:51:45.680
<v Speaker 3>and what was the first thing? He said?

0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:46.879
<v Speaker 1>You want to learn about God?

0:51:47.080 --> 0:51:47.719
<v Speaker 3>More about God?

0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:49.799
<v Speaker 1>He asked me literally, so he.

0:51:49.880 --> 0:51:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Asked me, was just like that, where did God come from?

0:51:53.040 --> 0:51:57.920
<v Speaker 2>And I was just like, well, said you ask your

0:51:57.920 --> 0:52:01.279
<v Speaker 2>papa school because my father's a deacon. Know he's been

0:52:01.360 --> 0:52:03.640
<v Speaker 2>to these classes and learned some of these things. He

0:52:03.760 --> 0:52:05.200
<v Speaker 2>was just like, no, I asked pop the school, but

0:52:05.239 --> 0:52:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I figured you, I'd ask you. You know everything, man,

0:52:08.480 --> 0:52:10.480
<v Speaker 2>when I tell you the pressure to try to answer

0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:11.000
<v Speaker 2>this question.

0:52:12.480 --> 0:52:12.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I was.

0:52:13.200 --> 0:52:13.680
<v Speaker 3>I was. Well.

0:52:14.680 --> 0:52:16.239
<v Speaker 2>The first thing I said was, you know, God is

0:52:16.440 --> 0:52:19.120
<v Speaker 2>a concept. He's like, what does that mean. I was

0:52:19.200 --> 0:52:22.000
<v Speaker 2>just like, well, there's no proof. We have to believe

0:52:22.040 --> 0:52:25.080
<v Speaker 2>and have faith, and you know, you show your faith

0:52:25.120 --> 0:52:27.520
<v Speaker 2>in God through your works and what you doing in humanity.

0:52:28.120 --> 0:52:29.480
<v Speaker 2>And an eight years old he was just like, that

0:52:29.560 --> 0:52:32.080
<v Speaker 2>don't make no sense. And that's when I started to

0:52:32.120 --> 0:52:34.880
<v Speaker 2>get scared, because I'm like, how do you explain to

0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:37.880
<v Speaker 2>an eight year old the concept of God and faith?

0:52:38.560 --> 0:52:39.600
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:52:40.840 --> 0:52:43.000
<v Speaker 6>Because as a kid, I.

0:52:43.160 --> 0:52:45.160
<v Speaker 7>Literally remember sitting in my front room as a kid

0:52:45.400 --> 0:52:47.279
<v Speaker 7>and one day, you know how, they said, just gonna

0:52:47.280 --> 0:52:48.799
<v Speaker 7>come back on the cloud one cloud.

0:52:48.680 --> 0:52:51.040
<v Speaker 10>Yes, I remember it was one cloud on the sideway.

0:52:53.560 --> 0:52:56.680
<v Speaker 10>I think trumpets might go off to this. I had

0:52:57.520 --> 0:52:58.640
<v Speaker 10>no man knows the time, no doubt.

0:52:58.800 --> 0:53:02.279
<v Speaker 3>And I'm saying right, and I'm like, I don't want

0:53:02.320 --> 0:53:04.400
<v Speaker 3>to hear the thunder and I don't start rising.

0:53:08.560 --> 0:53:09.160
<v Speaker 1>A funny story.

0:53:09.640 --> 0:53:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Y'all know about the rapture, right, yeah, you know about

0:53:12.120 --> 0:53:14.640
<v Speaker 2>the rapture trouble, so I for whoever does know the rapture.

0:53:14.680 --> 0:53:17.360
<v Speaker 2>The rapture is the idea that God is gonna come

0:53:17.440 --> 0:53:19.640
<v Speaker 2>back and he's gonna take all of his people who

0:53:19.760 --> 0:53:21.719
<v Speaker 2>believed in him with him to heaven, and everyone else

0:53:21.760 --> 0:53:24.240
<v Speaker 2>here is gonna stay here. The world is going to collapse,

0:53:24.280 --> 0:53:26.040
<v Speaker 2>and then when they died, they'll be stuck in purgatory.

0:53:26.880 --> 0:53:29.880
<v Speaker 2>So I remember waking up at my nana's house and

0:53:30.640 --> 0:53:33.200
<v Speaker 2>all of my parents, aunts and uncles had all left.

0:53:33.840 --> 0:53:35.800
<v Speaker 1>We would all get together for like a family reunion,

0:53:36.040 --> 0:53:36.439
<v Speaker 1>but our.

0:53:36.400 --> 0:53:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Parents would do stuff like we all go to sleep

0:53:38.200 --> 0:53:39.600
<v Speaker 2>at night and then you wake up in the morning

0:53:39.680 --> 0:53:41.600
<v Speaker 2>and they be gone because they don't want to do

0:53:41.719 --> 0:53:44.440
<v Speaker 2>the big goodbyes, you know, we all young kids. I

0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:48.120
<v Speaker 2>remember bawling my eyes out because I thought the rapture

0:53:48.200 --> 0:53:50.719
<v Speaker 2>happened and they were all gone, and they left and

0:53:50.840 --> 0:53:53.000
<v Speaker 2>all the kids got left here, and I remember thinking

0:53:53.040 --> 0:53:54.040
<v Speaker 2>to myself, what.

0:53:54.239 --> 0:53:54.960
<v Speaker 12>Am I gonna do?

0:53:55.239 --> 0:53:58.320
<v Speaker 1>My parents are gone, I'm gonna be in purgatory. No

0:53:58.520 --> 0:53:59.880
<v Speaker 1>idea what purgatory was.

0:54:00.360 --> 0:54:02.319
<v Speaker 2>But you know, you go to church at a young

0:54:02.400 --> 0:54:04.600
<v Speaker 2>age and you see the cross up there and yeah

0:54:04.680 --> 0:54:05.920
<v Speaker 2>this you do this, you go to hell.

0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:07.080
<v Speaker 1>You do this, you go to hell.

0:54:07.120 --> 0:54:09.000
<v Speaker 10>You sit that one person's going to be in the bed,

0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:11.120
<v Speaker 10>the other person's going to be gone. Bro, you wonder

0:54:11.160 --> 0:54:11.640
<v Speaker 10>what happened?

0:54:11.680 --> 0:54:13.920
<v Speaker 1>So I understand how I literally woke up.

0:54:14.040 --> 0:54:16.080
<v Speaker 2>And it didn't help that they had a rapture playing

0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:18.960
<v Speaker 2>in my church. So I watched the Rapture play and

0:54:19.040 --> 0:54:21.200
<v Speaker 2>I watched them do like the fake disaster scenes, by

0:54:21.239 --> 0:54:23.680
<v Speaker 2>the way, would be a really good movie, like the

0:54:23.840 --> 0:54:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Rapture movie where the guy comes down and takes away

0:54:27.920 --> 0:54:29.040
<v Speaker 2>one third of the people.

0:54:29.160 --> 0:54:30.480
<v Speaker 4>They have a few of them they do.

0:54:31.080 --> 0:54:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Are they good?

0:54:32.360 --> 0:54:34.680
<v Speaker 4>I haven't seen them in years, but there's a few that.

0:54:34.800 --> 0:54:37.080
<v Speaker 2>With technology where it is now, could you imagine it

0:54:37.080 --> 0:54:39.279
<v Speaker 2>would be like the end of the Earth means a

0:54:39.320 --> 0:54:43.279
<v Speaker 2>couple of those would be like the show Paradise, Yeah,

0:54:43.960 --> 0:54:47.120
<v Speaker 2>where you got to start over and figure it out right, watching.

0:54:46.880 --> 0:54:50.919
<v Speaker 3>Everything and whatnot. This is the show the chosen. Cairo

0:54:51.120 --> 0:54:52.520
<v Speaker 3>was like, I want to watch that when we have

0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:55.960
<v Speaker 3>our date day or day night is yeah, and that's

0:54:56.000 --> 0:54:56.200
<v Speaker 3>the one.

0:54:57.520 --> 0:54:57.680
<v Speaker 10>Yeah.

0:54:57.760 --> 0:54:59.560
<v Speaker 3>So I was like okay, So he really wanting to

0:54:59.560 --> 0:55:01.920
<v Speaker 3>know about the that's now I have a responsibility to

0:55:02.160 --> 0:55:04.680
<v Speaker 3>make sure that my boy is learning more about God.

0:55:04.880 --> 0:55:08.279
<v Speaker 3>So you know, it's also helpful that they're in a

0:55:08.360 --> 0:55:10.759
<v Speaker 3>Christian school, so they're getting a good foundation, and then

0:55:10.800 --> 0:55:13.279
<v Speaker 3>we just have to kind of nurture that outside of it.

0:55:13.400 --> 0:55:15.319
<v Speaker 2>So I think that's important too when we talk about

0:55:15.360 --> 0:55:17.879
<v Speaker 2>what we passed down to our kids. Legacy wise, it's

0:55:17.920 --> 0:55:21.240
<v Speaker 2>a spiritual foundation. Is if you don't have a spiritual foundation,

0:55:21.680 --> 0:55:24.240
<v Speaker 2>you can be really lost out here. I think, imagine

0:55:24.280 --> 0:55:26.680
<v Speaker 2>if you don't believe in anything or anyone or any

0:55:26.800 --> 0:55:29.000
<v Speaker 2>idea that there is better for you if you work

0:55:29.040 --> 0:55:31.080
<v Speaker 2>towards it, and you out here, you eighteen and you

0:55:31.239 --> 0:55:34.719
<v Speaker 2>randomly lose your job because they decide to downsize. Now

0:55:34.800 --> 0:55:38.759
<v Speaker 2>you just my job was everything, that's who I am,

0:55:38.960 --> 0:55:41.520
<v Speaker 2>and now I don't have my job, and then people

0:55:41.920 --> 0:55:42.480
<v Speaker 2>go nuts.

0:55:42.760 --> 0:55:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So passing legacy is passing down a spiritual foundation.

0:55:45.840 --> 0:55:47.919
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely. I think the only thing that scares me about

0:55:47.920 --> 0:55:49.400
<v Speaker 3>the kids or how they might turn out is just

0:55:49.480 --> 0:55:52.400
<v Speaker 3>the world around them, like everybody else. My mom used

0:55:52.400 --> 0:55:53.759
<v Speaker 3>to say it all the time. She's like, I don't

0:55:53.800 --> 0:55:58.200
<v Speaker 3>worry about you, worry about them. Everybody else the world.

0:55:58.320 --> 0:56:00.800
<v Speaker 3>That's what I worry about, And I'm like, I freaking

0:56:01.000 --> 0:56:03.600
<v Speaker 3>understand it now. It's like, but so much we can

0:56:03.680 --> 0:56:06.200
<v Speaker 3>do as parents in a controlled environment that's just that

0:56:06.360 --> 0:56:09.000
<v Speaker 3>is our house. But the many you leave those doors,

0:56:09.800 --> 0:56:12.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm already erect thinking about Jackson being in

0:56:12.640 --> 0:56:16.080
<v Speaker 3>college without me, Like I just it's the world, it's

0:56:16.200 --> 0:56:18.920
<v Speaker 3>everything else, it's all the other elements that just scare me.

0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you something that y'all gonna think this

0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:23.040
<v Speaker 2>is funny, But I don't think it's funny. I think

0:56:23.080 --> 0:56:25.160
<v Speaker 2>the world is better now than it it's ever been.

0:56:26.120 --> 0:56:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Think about it. We've come from world wars, apartheid, genocide, slavery, right,

0:56:34.719 --> 0:56:36.320
<v Speaker 2>think about all of those things that happened, right that

0:56:36.640 --> 0:56:38.440
<v Speaker 2>those are the worst atrocities that happen.

0:56:38.280 --> 0:56:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Right, Well, they're happening in other parts of the world

0:56:39.680 --> 0:56:40.000
<v Speaker 3>now still.

0:56:40.360 --> 0:56:42.919
<v Speaker 2>But I'm talking about where we are, our our world.

0:56:43.400 --> 0:56:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that America is a perfect place. But

0:56:45.480 --> 0:56:47.439
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying is we are learning as a people

0:56:47.520 --> 0:56:51.080
<v Speaker 2>from history, and people are trying now not to duplicate

0:56:51.120 --> 0:56:53.399
<v Speaker 2>the same things that's happened in the past. I think

0:56:53.480 --> 0:56:55.920
<v Speaker 2>part of the problem is social media has put us

0:56:55.920 --> 0:56:59.200
<v Speaker 2>to the point where anything negative that happens goes on

0:56:59.320 --> 0:57:02.759
<v Speaker 2>social media and it gets sensationalized. Could you imagine if

0:57:02.800 --> 0:57:05.520
<v Speaker 2>social media existed during slavery? How bad the world would

0:57:05.520 --> 0:57:08.919
<v Speaker 2>have looked. Could you imagine if social media existed during

0:57:09.000 --> 0:57:12.200
<v Speaker 2>World War One? Could you imagine if social media existed

0:57:12.200 --> 0:57:16.720
<v Speaker 2>when Leopold was in Africa killing eighteen million, twenty million Africans.

0:57:16.720 --> 0:57:19.280
<v Speaker 1>You see what I'm saying. It's like where we are

0:57:19.560 --> 0:57:22.480
<v Speaker 1>relative to where the world was in that moment, it's

0:57:22.600 --> 0:57:23.720
<v Speaker 1>nowhere near us. Gruesome.

0:57:24.240 --> 0:57:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Think about the Crusades, right, the Christian Crusades. They were

0:57:27.760 --> 0:57:31.000
<v Speaker 2>just going around killing millions of people in the name

0:57:31.080 --> 0:57:31.479
<v Speaker 2>of God.

0:57:32.080 --> 0:57:32.640
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:57:32.680 --> 0:57:34.920
<v Speaker 2>The world isn't as bad as it was then, but

0:57:35.040 --> 0:57:36.720
<v Speaker 2>we're living in and now when we get to watch

0:57:36.760 --> 0:57:38.560
<v Speaker 2>in a real time so and the reason why I

0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:39.880
<v Speaker 2>say that's not to say that I think the world's

0:57:39.880 --> 0:57:42.480
<v Speaker 2>in a good place. It's really just to say, we

0:57:42.640 --> 0:57:45.200
<v Speaker 2>have a responsibility to teach our kids to be better.

0:57:45.920 --> 0:57:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Agreed, you know what I'm saying. And if we teach

0:57:48.320 --> 0:57:50.200
<v Speaker 1>them to be better, all of us the world will

0:57:50.240 --> 0:57:50.520
<v Speaker 1>be better.

0:57:50.680 --> 0:57:54.600
<v Speaker 3>That's ultimate topic. Yeah, Yeah, as we round out this

0:57:54.760 --> 0:57:56.840
<v Speaker 3>before we pay some bills. The last thing that came

0:57:56.880 --> 0:58:01.200
<v Speaker 3>to mind for me was this past Christmas. Jackson wrote

0:58:01.200 --> 0:58:07.680
<v Speaker 3>a letter to de Valini for Christmas, and it was

0:58:07.720 --> 0:58:11.040
<v Speaker 3>a three page letter that he wrote. I think it

0:58:11.160 --> 0:58:16.200
<v Speaker 3>was like after his Bible clash or something. But guys

0:58:16.400 --> 0:58:22.600
<v Speaker 3>like Devalini sobbed when we read this letter because it

0:58:22.760 --> 0:58:25.760
<v Speaker 3>wasn't only just you know, me being a grammar police,

0:58:26.240 --> 0:58:29.520
<v Speaker 3>the way it was constructed, the way his thoughts were

0:58:29.720 --> 0:58:34.320
<v Speaker 3>so like put together, and then the way he expressed

0:58:34.400 --> 0:58:38.640
<v Speaker 3>his understanding for what it means to be a parent

0:58:38.840 --> 0:58:45.080
<v Speaker 3>raising a child. Yes, Matt got to read it like

0:58:46.320 --> 0:58:49.320
<v Speaker 3>blown away by my thirteen year old, and the way

0:58:49.360 --> 0:58:54.400
<v Speaker 3>he was able to express himself and the candor and

0:58:54.760 --> 0:58:58.520
<v Speaker 3>the eloquence in that letter was like unlike anything I

0:58:58.600 --> 0:59:01.600
<v Speaker 3>had ever seen, and it just made me feel like

0:59:02.960 --> 0:59:05.560
<v Speaker 3>we're doing a great job. The thing we're doing a

0:59:05.600 --> 0:59:09.560
<v Speaker 3>great job protect Jackson at all costs because he's just

0:59:09.680 --> 0:59:14.600
<v Speaker 3>such an amazing individual. And I'm so inspired by my children,

0:59:15.160 --> 0:59:17.280
<v Speaker 3>but him being the oldest, and I see how much

0:59:17.680 --> 0:59:21.120
<v Speaker 3>like he's working to be the best version of himself

0:59:21.560 --> 0:59:25.080
<v Speaker 3>in every aspect of life. It's like if that's the

0:59:25.200 --> 0:59:29.320
<v Speaker 3>beginning of what our legacy looks like. Dap me up

0:59:29.360 --> 0:59:36.280
<v Speaker 3>ellis left it. Thanks, y'all. All right, before we start sobbing.

0:59:37.840 --> 0:59:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Talking about it, I'm gonna crying. I'm not crying. Let's

0:59:40.680 --> 0:59:43.400
<v Speaker 1>take a podcast a couple of times, a couple of times.

0:59:44.360 --> 0:59:48.080
<v Speaker 1>You see how I brought that together, masculinity.

0:59:50.160 --> 0:59:52.400
<v Speaker 3>Let's go take a quick break, and we'll be back

0:59:52.440 --> 1:00:07.440
<v Speaker 3>with listening letters. Y'all all right, and we're back with

1:00:07.640 --> 1:00:10.440

<v Speaker 1>I got to put this out here first.

1:00:16.080 --> 1:00:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I fully got dressed first, and I know y'all see

1:00:18.520 --> 1:00:21.040

<v Speaker 2>vow dressing like Kadeen.

<v Speaker 1>Nope, I put this together first. I was ready first,

1:00:26.440 --> 1:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and was ready first.

1:00:27.400 --> 1:00:27.640
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

1:00:28.120 --> 1:00:30.160
<v Speaker 3>So the funny thing is right, I'm like, oh, now

1:00:30.240 --> 1:00:32.120
<v Speaker 3>that like I'm trying to get addressed for the podcast.

1:00:32.160 --> 1:00:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Since we're doing it new, I was like, let me

1:00:34.520 --> 1:00:36.520
<v Speaker 3>just start like running out some stuff in my closet.

1:00:36.560 --> 1:00:40.000
<v Speaker 3>A that didn't fit me before, Henny that fit now? Okay,

1:00:40.200 --> 1:00:43.200
<v Speaker 3>it's fitting and yeah. So when I saw her dress

1:00:43.240 --> 1:00:44.800
<v Speaker 3>this morning, I started. I said, let me start at

1:00:45.000 --> 1:00:46.960
<v Speaker 3>the top of the closet and work my way this way.

1:00:47.080 --> 1:00:48.600
<v Speaker 3>And this was like one of the third or fourth

1:00:48.640 --> 1:00:50.920
<v Speaker 3>outfits that I saw, and I was like, she fits

1:00:51.520 --> 1:00:55.760
<v Speaker 3>and she matches, So yeah, I did. Yes, I matched

1:00:55.800 --> 1:00:56.479
<v Speaker 3>your fly today.

1:00:57.040 --> 1:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I inspired her.

1:00:58.040 --> 1:00:58.400
<v Speaker 4>You did?

1:00:58.720 --> 1:01:03.520
<v Speaker 3>You inspire me every day? I'm sure.

1:01:03.520 --> 1:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure.

1:01:07.200 --> 1:01:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Back to the task at hand, Hey, Kadian.

1:01:09.120 --> 1:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Devil, that's always a task at hand. Don't get it.

1:01:12.120 --> 1:01:15.840
<v Speaker 3>This is this is just ancillary shit we're doing here. Hey,

1:01:16.120 --> 1:01:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Kadeian Develle love the practical adulting and relationship episodes the most,

1:01:21.000 --> 1:01:24.480
<v Speaker 3>and I have no dating life or experience by choice

1:01:24.880 --> 1:01:28.120
<v Speaker 3>to bring up anyway. I've been going through some monumental

1:01:28.200 --> 1:01:31.440
<v Speaker 3>changes in the last few years and have some incoming

1:01:31.600 --> 1:01:35.320
<v Speaker 3>financial comfort. I still live in my childhood home with

1:01:35.400 --> 1:01:39.400
<v Speaker 3>a sibling and their child, since our parents passing as

1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:41.600
<v Speaker 3>soon as they can, as soon as they can handle

1:01:41.640 --> 1:01:43.800
<v Speaker 3>the property. I'd like to live alone in my late

1:01:43.880 --> 1:01:47.040
<v Speaker 3>twenties in New York City before a man and family

1:01:47.280 --> 1:01:50.280
<v Speaker 3>enter the picture. I have no idea where to start,

1:01:50.400 --> 1:01:53.440
<v Speaker 3>and there seems to be some shock or confusion from

1:01:53.520 --> 1:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>our extended family about us or me doing so in

1:01:56.920 --> 1:02:00.200
<v Speaker 3>the near future. My credit is good already invests, have

1:02:00.360 --> 1:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>a profitable side hustle slash skill. I make good money

1:02:04.080 --> 1:02:08.320
<v Speaker 3>for a single young woman and very little expenses or advices.

1:02:09.120 --> 1:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>This is sounding good, trible eyes perked up.

1:02:13.880 --> 1:02:19.680
<v Speaker 3>I my eminent financial situation may allow me to become

1:02:19.720 --> 1:02:22.800
<v Speaker 3>a home owner in my own right, but not sure.

1:02:22.880 --> 1:02:25.840
<v Speaker 3>The landlord life is for me seeing how bad tenants

1:02:25.880 --> 1:02:28.720
<v Speaker 3>can be, and that responsibility is what I want a

1:02:28.840 --> 1:02:32.440
<v Speaker 3>break from Any advice would be appreciated. The roommate thing

1:02:32.680 --> 1:02:35.000
<v Speaker 3>is off the table, and staying home is no longer

1:02:35.080 --> 1:02:37.760
<v Speaker 3>comfortable for me. I'm ready to see who I am

1:02:37.920 --> 1:02:41.080
<v Speaker 3>without family in the next room, up the block and

1:02:41.200 --> 1:02:42.440
<v Speaker 3>around the corner.

1:02:45.200 --> 1:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I understand her on this. I have very quick advice.

1:02:48.040 --> 1:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, I would say, right now, the interest rates are

1:02:49.720 --> 1:02:53.480
<v Speaker 2>extremely high and everything is high, so it's about to

1:02:53.520 --> 1:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>be a seller's market. I would save as much money

1:02:55.560 --> 1:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>as you can in the next upcoming months and buy

1:02:58.080 --> 1:03:01.480
<v Speaker 2>a property as opposed to renting, because all you're going

1:03:01.520 --> 1:03:03.160
<v Speaker 2>to do when you rent is give your money to

1:03:03.200 --> 1:03:06.320
<v Speaker 2>fund someone else's dream. Hopefully, over the past couple of

1:03:06.360 --> 1:03:08.360
<v Speaker 2>years you've saved so that you can put a down

1:03:08.440 --> 1:03:11.560
<v Speaker 2>payment ten percent on something a condo in New York.

1:03:11.920 --> 1:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Getting a condo in New York is.

1:03:13.200 --> 1:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Gonna cost you up eight hundred thousand dollars, so you

1:03:17.360 --> 1:03:18.760
<v Speaker 2>figure ten percent of that means you have to have

1:03:18.840 --> 1:03:20.200
<v Speaker 2>eighty thousand dollars in the bank.

1:03:20.520 --> 1:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't have that, I wouldn't move to

1:03:22.320 --> 1:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>New York. Now, if you want to.

1:03:23.480 --> 1:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Rent in New York, a nice apartment anywhere in New

1:03:26.600 --> 1:03:28.760
<v Speaker 2>York is going to cost you over four thousand dollars

1:03:28.800 --> 1:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>a month, which about forty eight thousand dollars a year.

1:03:32.920 --> 1:03:35.480
<v Speaker 2>So think about your choices before you make them. Living

1:03:35.520 --> 1:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>in New York is one of the most expensive places

1:03:37.560 --> 1:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>to live is New York in California.

1:03:40.160 --> 1:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>So those are just some things you have to think about.

1:03:42.400 --> 1:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>But I would.

1:03:43.040 --> 1:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Definitely go to buy something before I rent if you

1:03:46.280 --> 1:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>don't want to have the responsibility to pay someone else's bills.

1:03:49.680 --> 1:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>But I do understand that being a landlord is troubling.

1:03:52.240 --> 1:03:54.200
<v Speaker 2>That's why we chose not to be a landlord in

1:03:54.320 --> 1:03:56.640
<v Speaker 2>New York. Being a landlord is New York one is

1:03:56.640 --> 1:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>the hardest places to be a landlord because when someone

1:03:58.880 --> 1:04:00.520
<v Speaker 2>gets there, they don't pay rent. It's going to take

1:04:00.520 --> 1:04:02.600
<v Speaker 2>you six months to a year to move out, and

1:04:02.680 --> 1:04:04.880
<v Speaker 2>if people start to squat on your land, it takes

1:04:04.920 --> 1:04:06.120
<v Speaker 2>them even longer to get out.

1:04:06.280 --> 1:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, I wouldn't do no properties in New York right now.

1:04:09.200 --> 1:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>That's just my take, right.

1:04:10.320 --> 1:04:11.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if you were going to purchase something in

1:04:11.600 --> 1:04:13.120
<v Speaker 3>New York, I would say, then you live in it

1:04:13.280 --> 1:04:15.720
<v Speaker 3>and not get it as like an investment property where

1:04:15.760 --> 1:04:18.240
<v Speaker 3>you're doing rentals. But it seems like you have your

1:04:18.280 --> 1:04:20.640
<v Speaker 3>head on pretty straight bood, like you got your adults

1:04:20.640 --> 1:04:22.400
<v Speaker 3>in a row, you know, and a lot of times

1:04:22.440 --> 1:04:24.000
<v Speaker 3>you got to kind of wait till the right move,

1:04:24.320 --> 1:04:26.400
<v Speaker 3>like not just jumping into something because you feel like

1:04:26.440 --> 1:04:29.120
<v Speaker 3>you're starting to get a little uncomfortable. But if you

1:04:29.240 --> 1:04:30.040
<v Speaker 3>have everything set up.

1:04:30.160 --> 1:04:32.520
<v Speaker 2>She said something that you said before that she said

1:04:32.520 --> 1:04:34.720
<v Speaker 2>that she wants to live on her own without a

1:04:34.800 --> 1:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>man or kids before she gets married.

1:04:36.760 --> 1:04:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:04:36.960 --> 1:04:37.640
<v Speaker 10>I agree with that.

1:04:37.760 --> 1:04:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Caudeina and I both say if there was one thing

1:04:40.040 --> 1:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>we could do differently, just by choice, to learn ourselves,

1:04:43.480 --> 1:04:45.520
<v Speaker 2>it would be before we moved in together.

1:04:45.960 --> 1:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>She would live on her own and I would live

1:04:47.600 --> 1:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>on my own, just so that we could see what

1:04:49.320 --> 1:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that feels what it felt like. Yeah, we've never had

1:04:51.640 --> 1:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>that as adults, but I.

1:04:52.720 --> 1:04:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Think us trying to be adult in our thinking and

1:04:56.200 --> 1:04:59.120
<v Speaker 3>trying to be wise at the time financially, it didn't

1:04:59.160 --> 1:05:02.360
<v Speaker 3>make sense. If we're together, we want to be together.

1:05:02.680 --> 1:05:04.240
<v Speaker 3>It's like, why would I go get an apartment, then

1:05:04.280 --> 1:05:06.080
<v Speaker 3>you get an apartment just for the sake of saying

1:05:06.120 --> 1:05:09.320
<v Speaker 3>that we have our own apartments essentially probably stay in

1:05:09.520 --> 1:05:12.200
<v Speaker 3>either majority of the time. It just didn't make sense.

1:05:12.200 --> 1:05:14.080
<v Speaker 3>It's like, why not just pull our resources together and

1:05:14.160 --> 1:05:16.600
<v Speaker 3>live in one place and pay one rent, you know.

1:05:16.760 --> 1:05:18.640
<v Speaker 3>So that was what we did. But yeah, in hindsight,

1:05:18.720 --> 1:05:20.040
<v Speaker 3>we're like, it would have just been nice to have

1:05:20.160 --> 1:05:22.360
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of that. You know, here's my place.

1:05:22.520 --> 1:05:24.680
<v Speaker 3>You can come by. I'll give you a key maybe

1:05:25.440 --> 1:05:27.600
<v Speaker 3>maybe maybe maybe.

1:05:27.400 --> 1:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't need a key, get the door, cost need

1:05:29.760 --> 1:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>a key. Trust me, I'm like trouble, I find the

1:05:32.760 --> 1:05:33.640
<v Speaker 2>colde and I be in your.

1:05:33.600 --> 1:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Bes before you.

1:05:36.880 --> 1:05:37.000
<v Speaker 5>Too.

1:05:37.280 --> 1:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>You go walking in, like, I don't worry about that

1:05:43.120 --> 1:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>four floor.

1:05:44.120 --> 1:05:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm happy, I got strong arms, I'm happy here, good

1:05:46.920 --> 1:05:55.400
<v Speaker 3>to see you. That's how you absolutely would be like that.

1:05:55.480 --> 1:05:56.160
<v Speaker 4>I know that, so.

1:05:57.680 --> 1:06:00.720
<v Speaker 3>Listen and it would change pretty much so good luck

1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:03.360
<v Speaker 3>to you in your future endeavors. It seems like you

1:06:03.480 --> 1:06:06.760
<v Speaker 3>got your head on street. As my grandmother would say.

1:06:07.640 --> 1:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, so if you'd like to be featured as

1:06:10.560 --> 1:06:14.080
<v Speaker 2>one of our listening letters, email us that els advice.

1:06:14.400 --> 1:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>That's th H E E L L I S A

1:06:17.360 --> 1:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>D D I C E at Gmail.

1:06:21.280 --> 1:06:24.080
<v Speaker 3>All right, y'all, moment of truth time. We're talking about legacy.

1:06:24.680 --> 1:06:27.720
<v Speaker 3>I guess at this point in its totality, not specifically

1:06:27.960 --> 1:06:32.040
<v Speaker 3>having to do with money, but knowing that that will

1:06:32.080 --> 1:06:34.840
<v Speaker 3>help to give you some autonomy over your life. So

1:06:34.960 --> 1:06:38.560
<v Speaker 3>what's your final thoughts on that I got.

1:06:38.520 --> 1:06:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I got a lot of thoughts, but this one thought

1:06:40.360 --> 1:06:42.840
<v Speaker 2>really came to my mind after we had that discussion, is, man,

1:06:42.880 --> 1:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>I just don't want to fuck my kids out. MH

1:06:45.760 --> 1:06:48.680
<v Speaker 2>like legas legacy. Everybody thinks legacies. I did this, I

1:06:48.880 --> 1:06:51.080
<v Speaker 2>won this many I made this much money. No, man,

1:06:51.120 --> 1:06:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I have four beautiful humans that came from us too,

1:06:54.640 --> 1:06:56.600
<v Speaker 2>and I really just don't want to mess them up.

1:06:56.640 --> 1:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I want them to be strong, free, powerful black man,

1:07:00.280 --> 1:07:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and to me, that's going to be my legacy. All

1:07:02.520 --> 1:07:05.200
<v Speaker 2>four of my boys lined up doing whatever they want

1:07:05.240 --> 1:07:07.960
<v Speaker 2>to do in life, having autonomy over their time and

1:07:08.120 --> 1:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>space and everything.

1:07:09.080 --> 1:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>And that's just that's what legacy means to me.

1:07:11.440 --> 1:07:14.880
<v Speaker 3>I love that. Yeah, for me, it's just being more deliberate.

1:07:14.960 --> 1:07:17.919
<v Speaker 3>I think as our boys get older, speaking specifically about

1:07:17.920 --> 1:07:21.200
<v Speaker 3>our family, just being more deliberate about the things that

1:07:21.280 --> 1:07:23.840
<v Speaker 3>I want to pass down to my children, the things

1:07:23.880 --> 1:07:27.440
<v Speaker 3>that I want them to know and to see and

1:07:27.600 --> 1:07:31.080
<v Speaker 3>to feel when they think about who am I? Who

1:07:31.160 --> 1:07:33.640
<v Speaker 3>am I as a person? Where have I come from?

1:07:34.360 --> 1:07:37.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, as my parents get older now now having

1:07:37.720 --> 1:07:39.560
<v Speaker 3>lost actually yesterday it was the one year university of

1:07:39.640 --> 1:07:43.720
<v Speaker 3>my grandmother passed and my last living grandparent, and I

1:07:43.840 --> 1:07:48.000
<v Speaker 3>just think about the richness of my culture and my heritage,

1:07:48.080 --> 1:07:52.360
<v Speaker 3>and like how much they've taught me, those experiences that

1:07:52.400 --> 1:07:56.520
<v Speaker 3>I've had with them, the things that I know will

1:07:56.560 --> 1:07:57.360
<v Speaker 3>live on. What happened?

1:07:58.000 --> 1:08:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Remember I asked you two days ago, I said, Mom's

1:08:01.560 --> 1:08:06.280
<v Speaker 2>walking around with a heaviness, Like, what's the matter, Shoot,

1:08:06.480 --> 1:08:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Grandma's passing.

1:08:08.440 --> 1:08:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I didn't think about it.

1:08:11.280 --> 1:08:13.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking about myself like grandma past, not even thinking

1:08:13.640 --> 1:08:14.919
<v Speaker 2>about how mom my mom.

1:08:15.720 --> 1:08:15.959
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

1:08:16.120 --> 1:08:20.439
<v Speaker 3>I didn't realize the day either until yesterday I was like, oh, shoot,

1:08:20.439 --> 1:08:22.360
<v Speaker 3>we were actually filming and I was like, oh, shoot,

1:08:22.360 --> 1:08:24.280
<v Speaker 3>today is the one year anniversary since that my aunt

1:08:24.360 --> 1:08:26.240
<v Speaker 3>called me and I was like, oh, yeah, I think

1:08:26.280 --> 1:08:26.519
<v Speaker 3>I know.

1:08:26.720 --> 1:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't I didn't put together.

1:08:30.280 --> 1:08:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it might have been the approach to to this,

1:08:34.040 --> 1:08:38.720
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, So just just thinking about how much how

1:08:38.800 --> 1:08:41.639
<v Speaker 3>much I am because of the legacy that was instilled

1:08:41.640 --> 1:08:45.080
<v Speaker 3>in me through my grandparents and my parents, and then

1:08:45.280 --> 1:08:47.600
<v Speaker 3>how fortunate we are to have my parents here with

1:08:47.760 --> 1:08:50.680
<v Speaker 3>our children, your parents here with our children, so that

1:08:50.760 --> 1:08:53.760
<v Speaker 3>they can tell the rich stories and they can, you know,

1:08:54.120 --> 1:08:57.599
<v Speaker 3>learn the recipes like popa scoop and making sweet potato

1:08:57.680 --> 1:09:00.679
<v Speaker 3>pies because all the boys love this wee potato pie.

1:09:00.760 --> 1:09:03.720
<v Speaker 3>But that, for me is also legacy wrapped up. It's

1:09:03.800 --> 1:09:06.320
<v Speaker 3>not just about the financial portion of it. It's about

1:09:06.760 --> 1:09:08.760
<v Speaker 3>the richness of who we are.

1:09:10.920 --> 1:09:13.120
<v Speaker 7>For me is to keep building the capital to give

1:09:13.160 --> 1:09:15.960
<v Speaker 7>my kids the freedom, give my my wife and kids

1:09:16.000 --> 1:09:21.000
<v Speaker 7>the freedom in the future, and then also collecting more

1:09:21.120 --> 1:09:24.719
<v Speaker 7>thinking about more cultural moments and things of that nature

1:09:24.720 --> 1:09:26.920
<v Speaker 7>that I want to pass down in the future for me.

1:09:27.560 --> 1:09:30.600
<v Speaker 8>Got kids right now, I like, yeah, yeah, My My

1:09:30.880 --> 1:09:34.599
<v Speaker 8>moment of truth is if you aren't thinking about legacy,

1:09:35.160 --> 1:09:40.080
<v Speaker 8>you just think about uh my moment of truth is

1:09:40.120 --> 1:09:42.800
<v Speaker 8>if you aren't thinking about legacy, you're only thinking about

1:09:42.880 --> 1:09:46.640
<v Speaker 8>short term and you're only living in a moment like

1:09:46.720 --> 1:09:47.680
<v Speaker 8>that is that is?

1:09:47.840 --> 1:09:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's really good. See Josh was be coming with

1:09:50.280 --> 1:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the concise points and he'd be like, I don't like

1:09:51.760 --> 1:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>to be on camera.

1:09:52.439 --> 1:09:52.800
<v Speaker 9>That was good.

1:09:52.840 --> 1:09:55.360
<v Speaker 6>Bro's over there asking chat GPT.

1:09:56.960 --> 1:10:00.240
<v Speaker 8>We first off, well, first off, first off, if I'm

1:10:00.280 --> 1:10:03.000
<v Speaker 8>not Secondly, I didn't really get to talk about legacy

1:10:03.160 --> 1:10:07.160
<v Speaker 8>in this episode having Victoria, so I think about legacy.

1:10:07.360 --> 1:10:11.280
<v Speaker 8>Legacy is a constant conversation in my household, and I'm

1:10:11.320 --> 1:10:13.880
<v Speaker 8>constantly thinking about my own legacy because I don't want

1:10:13.920 --> 1:10:18.519
<v Speaker 8>to poison my daughter with my bad habits, So I

1:10:18.640 --> 1:10:22.519
<v Speaker 8>think about it constantly, constantly, And Victoria she's a mirror

1:10:22.640 --> 1:10:25.240
<v Speaker 8>of myself and Annika, and she's her own person.

1:10:25.360 --> 1:10:26.880
<v Speaker 4>So I'm constantly thinking about legacy.

1:10:26.920 --> 1:10:29.200
<v Speaker 2>So no, it's not Chad GBT you a question, the

1:10:29.320 --> 1:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>serious question though, So you think about her being a

1:10:32.080 --> 1:10:36.040
<v Speaker 2>wife and how she's going to be, like the type

1:10:36.040 --> 1:10:36.800
<v Speaker 2>of man she chooses.

1:10:36.840 --> 1:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>When you say you don't want to poison.

1:10:38.360 --> 1:10:40.840
<v Speaker 8>All of that, I'm thinking about the type of wife

1:10:40.880 --> 1:10:43.120
<v Speaker 8>she will be, the type of earner, she will be

1:10:43.280 --> 1:10:46.280
<v Speaker 8>the type of person in society that she will be,

1:10:46.880 --> 1:10:50.200
<v Speaker 8>and I don't want my bad habits to rub off

1:10:50.240 --> 1:10:53.240
<v Speaker 8>on her. She said something last week, she was making

1:10:53.280 --> 1:10:56.439
<v Speaker 8>a video whatever, and she's like, this is my parents.

1:10:57.120 --> 1:11:01.040
<v Speaker 8>They're so overprotective. And I was just like, I didn't

1:11:01.040 --> 1:11:03.200
<v Speaker 8>want to ruin her video. But we had a conversation. Well,

1:11:03.240 --> 1:11:05.400
<v Speaker 8>I talked to Nika afterwards. I was like, yo, Victoria said,

1:11:05.760 --> 1:11:08.599
<v Speaker 8>we're overprotective. And then I had to have a conversation

1:11:08.680 --> 1:11:10.680
<v Speaker 8>with her because I don't want her to be a

1:11:10.720 --> 1:11:14.519
<v Speaker 8>fearful person in life because we're overshadowing her.

1:11:15.080 --> 1:11:17.160
<v Speaker 4>But I had to correct her. I said, Yo, we're

1:11:17.240 --> 1:11:18.080
<v Speaker 4>not overprotective.

1:11:18.560 --> 1:11:22.240
<v Speaker 8>You have a cell phone, right, Like you watch almost

1:11:22.280 --> 1:11:25.320
<v Speaker 8>anything that you watch that's age appropriate, right, Like you

1:11:25.400 --> 1:11:26.360
<v Speaker 8>know you you go on.

1:11:26.400 --> 1:11:29.720
<v Speaker 4>Playdas with your friends, we take you out. You're not overprotective.

1:11:30.280 --> 1:11:34.240
<v Speaker 8>I said, what you what we are is protective of you, right,

1:11:34.280 --> 1:11:36.880
<v Speaker 8>And I don't want you to misconstrue that with being overprotective,

1:11:36.960 --> 1:11:40.600
<v Speaker 8>because people who are overprotective, I know you see them

1:11:40.640 --> 1:11:41.519
<v Speaker 8>when they get to college.

1:11:41.600 --> 1:11:42.840
<v Speaker 4>They on girl wow.

1:11:45.680 --> 1:11:48.960
<v Speaker 8>And having a daughter, you're thinking constantly, thinking about the

1:11:49.080 --> 1:11:51.040
<v Speaker 8>things that the decisions that I make, the things that

1:11:51.120 --> 1:11:52.640
<v Speaker 8>I say to her, the way that I acted, I

1:11:52.720 --> 1:11:55.080
<v Speaker 8>treated her mom, the way we treat each other is

1:11:55.200 --> 1:11:57.240
<v Speaker 8>going to literally have an effect on her because it

1:11:57.360 --> 1:12:01.400
<v Speaker 8>is a direct representation of what she sees every single So.

1:12:02.520 --> 1:12:03.759
<v Speaker 4>Legacy is constant.

1:12:04.120 --> 1:12:07.559
<v Speaker 8>Anika talks about it almost almost to a fault because

1:12:08.240 --> 1:12:10.800
<v Speaker 8>you know her own like how she grew up her

1:12:10.920 --> 1:12:14.880
<v Speaker 8>parents right, and we want Vitoya's life to be easier

1:12:14.960 --> 1:12:17.320
<v Speaker 8>than what we had, and we want Victoria to make

1:12:17.360 --> 1:12:20.640
<v Speaker 8>her children's lives easier than what we made for her.

1:12:20.880 --> 1:12:24.479
<v Speaker 1>So I want to touch on that of what that

1:12:24.640 --> 1:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>looks like.

1:12:25.240 --> 1:12:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a father to a daughter, because I only know

1:12:28.200 --> 1:12:30.400
<v Speaker 2>from a father to a son, and sometimes I'll say

1:12:30.439 --> 1:12:33.680
<v Speaker 2>the kay, like you do realize how you behave is

1:12:33.760 --> 1:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>how the kids are going to view women.

1:12:36.160 --> 1:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>So their ideas of what women are supposed to be

1:12:38.200 --> 1:12:38.640
<v Speaker 1>coming from you.

1:12:39.120 --> 1:12:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Hearing you say that from a father to a daughter,

1:12:42.840 --> 1:12:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I could see how like that's a lot of pressure

1:12:46.080 --> 1:12:48.920
<v Speaker 2>because you're hoping that your daughter at some point gets

1:12:49.000 --> 1:12:50.760
<v Speaker 2>in front of a man or deals with the type

1:12:50.760 --> 1:12:52.080
<v Speaker 2>of men and she understands what.

1:12:52.439 --> 1:12:55.840
<v Speaker 1>The type of protection looks like and what love looks like.

1:12:56.240 --> 1:12:56.479
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1:12:56.560 --> 1:12:58.200
<v Speaker 2>And it's different for boys because I can hit my

1:12:58.280 --> 1:12:59.960
<v Speaker 2>boys in the chest and be like, man, you can't

1:13:00.160 --> 1:13:02.200
<v Speaker 2>do that with your Yeah, yeah, I want to.

1:13:02.240 --> 1:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask you after I ask you some question.

1:13:04.360 --> 1:13:05.799
<v Speaker 4>There was a quote on Instagram.

1:13:05.840 --> 1:13:07.439
<v Speaker 8>I'm sorry, I want to make this too long, but

1:13:07.520 --> 1:13:10.800
<v Speaker 8>there was a quote, but there was a videos on

1:13:10.840 --> 1:13:19.080
<v Speaker 8>Instagram and it was the the joy of the daughter

1:13:19.960 --> 1:13:22.800
<v Speaker 8>or the future of the daughter. Her happiness is a

1:13:22.880 --> 1:13:26.160
<v Speaker 8>direct result of how her mom is, like how her

1:13:26.240 --> 1:13:31.720
<v Speaker 8>mom is, her mom's happiness. And I think we had

1:13:31.760 --> 1:13:32.600
<v Speaker 8>a conversation about this.

1:13:32.840 --> 1:13:33.120
<v Speaker 12>While I.

1:13:35.479 --> 1:13:38.280
<v Speaker 8>Want to make sure that I'm not making my wife miserable,

1:13:38.400 --> 1:13:41.400
<v Speaker 8>so my daughter doesn't become miserable, you know what I'm saying.

1:13:42.600 --> 1:13:44.840
<v Speaker 4>It's a crazy concept to have, But.

1:13:46.680 --> 1:13:50.960
<v Speaker 8>Victoria's Victoria's direct influence from women is her mom.

1:13:51.120 --> 1:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not a crazy concept. It's the truth.

1:13:53.080 --> 1:13:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I said the same thing, right with single moms who

1:13:55.880 --> 1:13:57.960
<v Speaker 2>raised boys, who end up raising the type of boys

1:13:58.000 --> 1:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>that the fun boys are, the same men that they hate.

1:14:00.320 --> 1:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>It's the same thing. A dude has a responsibility.

1:14:02.600 --> 1:14:05.400
<v Speaker 2>You have a daughter, Your daughter is going to end

1:14:05.479 --> 1:14:07.519
<v Speaker 2>up dating the same type of dude you are, because

1:14:07.520 --> 1:14:09.240
<v Speaker 2>that's all she sees is a man. If you a

1:14:09.360 --> 1:14:12.040
<v Speaker 2>fuck boy, your daughter's gonna end up with a fuck

1:14:12.080 --> 1:14:15.240
<v Speaker 2>boy unless she has a mentally strong mom who points

1:14:15.280 --> 1:14:17.799
<v Speaker 2>out the fact that that's not how all men behave.

1:14:17.960 --> 1:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>But then even in that, you're her father, her mom

1:14:21.439 --> 1:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>saying anything, you're still her father. So it's interesting to

1:14:24.040 --> 1:14:26.360
<v Speaker 2>me because now I'm thinking about the type of women

1:14:26.479 --> 1:14:29.160
<v Speaker 2>my boys will bring home. I hope they have the

1:14:29.240 --> 1:14:32.280
<v Speaker 2>type of father in their life that's going to show

1:14:32.360 --> 1:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>them what it means to be in a relation, you

1:14:34.040 --> 1:14:35.400
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying, in a relationship.

1:14:35.439 --> 1:14:36.719
<v Speaker 1>We talk about this with our.

1:14:36.720 --> 1:14:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Sons, right, and I'm like, hey, have mothers who take

1:14:39.760 --> 1:14:41.640
<v Speaker 3>care of them. So it's just interesting to.

1:14:41.680 --> 1:14:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Hear a father's perspective your daughters like that. We know

1:14:44.920 --> 1:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about that.

1:14:45.760 --> 1:14:47.599
<v Speaker 2>I want we should do a podcast about that, triple

1:14:47.640 --> 1:14:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Can you write that down, because I'm really starting to

1:14:50.600 --> 1:14:53.439
<v Speaker 2>see a big thing with now. I see why daddy

1:14:53.520 --> 1:14:56.760
<v Speaker 2>issues matter and people think that it's it's just something

1:14:56.840 --> 1:14:59.720
<v Speaker 2>that people say, but it's not. It's not like how

1:15:00.320 --> 1:15:04.160
<v Speaker 2>girls see men directly correlates to their father. Same thing

1:15:04.200 --> 1:15:05.240
<v Speaker 2>with sons and their mom.

1:15:06.720 --> 1:15:12.080
<v Speaker 8>I'm here to change the legacy that Triple has for me,

1:15:13.040 --> 1:15:15.320
<v Speaker 8>I think I need to rely on chat GBT to

1:15:15.400 --> 1:15:16.479
<v Speaker 8>generate my own thoughts.

1:15:19.560 --> 1:15:21.880

1:15:21.920 --> 1:15:23.080
