Speaker 1: a nonprofit. I can definitely, you don't have to talk

24
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: about what Jill Scott sound like. That's that's it. My

25
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: mother made sure I got a job. She was like,

26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: she said, they ain't gonna know, They're not not gonna

27
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: know till you show up, baby girl, until she put

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: that exclamation point on it. Then it was like, well,

29
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: wait a minute, who's that hold up? Now? It's not

30
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: like somebody drunk. That's what it sounds like. Yo. You

31
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: know how many people thinks of the show putting exclamation

32
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: points on their baby's names. I'm just gonna tell you

33
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: it's happening. It's happening. Listen. I want to put nothing past.

34
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: Like I told you, there's a brother on the TikTok

35
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: that talks about African Americans and linguistics and our language,

36
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: which which is affectionately called now a a V which

37
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: is African American vernacular English. The language, the language, Oh,

38
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: the words, it's a thing. I think it's been a

39
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: lot of new language and words while we've been inside.

40
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just me like, what, like

41
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: what covid E? Girl, Like what you just said? A

42
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: A B E T T A V E. I feel

43
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: like since COVID, did we get a couple more letters

44
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: for the l B G t Q community. Plus? Yeah,

45
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: you just go plus, you just go. Well, I noticed

46
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: that the plus is there now that I didn't know

47
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: about that before. But I don't think because we just

48
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: found out it was it hasn't been there for a

49
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: long time. Oh yeah, well they and they ended up

50
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: adding some more eyes and aids, and so when you

51
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: start doubling up on letters, you might as well just

52
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: throw that plus up in there. Not to confuse the

53
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: layman or the cis, all the cysts, all the cists

54
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: heteros out here, right. But then also to one of

55
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: my children, was like putting me down that there's not

56
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: as multiple flags. Too good. God, hey, now it should

57
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: be UTI flags as well. All right, that makes sense, listen.

58
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: I know it confuses everybody else, but I enjoy it.

59
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: I like people see. One of one of the quandsa

60
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: principles is name yourself, define yourself for yourself. And so

61
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: I feel as if if you are defining yourself for yourself,

62
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: I am your cheerleader. I live with you in them,

63
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: so yes, I'm with you. Listen, y'all. We we had

64
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: a we had a we had a sub one. I

65
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: know it's um, it's kind of early in the game,

66
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Um far as summer is concerned. UM, but we really

67
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: did have quite the summer. This is the first time

68
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: that the three of us have really and truly been

69
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: outside outside. But for you too, you haven't been going anywhere.

70
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: Everybody's been staying close to home. You know, we're we're

71
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: being mindful. We're not really you know, throwing parties like that,

72
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: but you know, we're not having gatherings like that. But

73
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: we're back, you know. I see all the news that

74
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: the COVID cases are rising again. Um, and we have

75
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: to be mindful. Nobody wants to wear a mask. I

76
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: don't either. I thought I was gonna do it for

77
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: the rest of my life. I don't want to talk.

78
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't think you do dat. It's not fun, but

79
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: it's to me, it's just the back and forth and

80
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: the deciding about winning, where and how long and what

81
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna do. That's where I get confused. Where I'm like,

82
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: all right, when I'm going in and out of stores.

83
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: That's a habit, right, So I don't even have to

84
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: think about that. I put it on right I get

85
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: on the airplane, absolutely not going bare faced on the airplane.

86
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: Forget that you're a good they're a good one. I

87
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: can't believe people, I'm gonna put it on, you know,

88
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it on on that good people's airplane.

89
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: But if I'm in a restaurant, you know what I'm saying,

90
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: and there's nobody in there, and I gotta eat anyway,

91
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: I gotta take it off to eat. It's about when

92
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: you walk into your seat, when you walk into your seats, right,

93
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: I keep it on and then I go eat it.

94
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: But then I'll be thinking to myself where I'm eating it.

95
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: So that's where I get confused. I'm just being honest,

96
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: and I'm definitely pro masking. I'm definitely pro vacs. You

97
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: don't have to get into you know, And nobody got

98
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: to hit me up on the side. That's what we did.

99
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: But my point is, as as I'm as we're moving

100
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: towards like you know, the rest of this, you know,

101
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: navigating the outside, those are the things that sometimes get

102
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: me a little frazzled. I won't live. What should I do?

103
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: You know, like I'm jumping into the jump roupe, Like,

104
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: think about aerosol and somebody and somebody aerosol in your mouth,

105
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: and how convenient is it for them the aerosol in

106
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: your mouth and within six ft that they would then

107
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: say a thinking, aerosol in your mouth, especially if they're

108
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: facing you. There you go, that's it. Aerosol in your mouth.

109
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: Jill's face said, in your mouth. I don't know the

110
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: type the scientific way to say it. And I'm done.

111
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm two weeks over to the COVID, so

112
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm back to being massed up. And

113
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: I did two days at the goddamn Roots Picnic and

114
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: didn't get the motherfucking COVID. I got to say, I

115
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: must attribute this to colordial silver. I am learning. Shout

116
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: out to Suzanne Christine who told me that if you

117
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: spray the coloridial silver in your mouth, you will keep

118
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: the virus off. So I think it worked at the

119
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: Roots Picnic. Then I got bougie and comfortable, went to

120
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: the real cute seats at the Hollywood Bowl for June teenth,

121
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: and got the goddamn COVID on June teenth and didn't

122
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 1: spray the colordial silver. So I'm just saying to the people.

123
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: I ain't saying it secure, but I think that it

124
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: may work closingal silver. It's pretty powerful, like rubbing it

125
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: in um. Yeah for like I heard, sometimes it helps

126
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: your scars and stuff heal quick, quicker. Good to know,

127
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: good to know. So yeah, so yeah, I got I

128
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: got the COVID. I mean luckily, I feel blessed because

129
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, triple boosters. So I just had

130
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: headaches and chills and fever for a day. But being

131
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: in South for seven days that ain't cool. That it's

132
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: not fun, I will have to say. But I will

133
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: say that, you know, having to kind of get out

134
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: and experience the world has also been a part of

135
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: people's self care over being locked up for a couple

136
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: of years. And I would have to say, of all

137
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: that this summer that we made up for quite a bit. Okay, okay,

138
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: can you please tell us when you have done this

139
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: for summer thus far? Oh? I mean that's I mean work.

140
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: Y'all know, I'm I'm a traveler, so I don't let

141
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: the virus stop that. So I've been doing that a

142
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: little bit. Um. Yeah, I've been. Yeah, because like like

143
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: Asia said, mask and whatnot? No um, But yeah, I

144
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I think, like I said when I went

145
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: to the Root speaking, that was the first time going

146
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: out to an outdoor concert for real, for real, and

147
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: that felt so good. That felt like a whole reunion

148
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: of sorts. And yeah, I'm just been. I've been outside.

149
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: I just don't want stuff ride my bike doing it,

150
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think. To be honest, I haven't.

151
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: The only new thing I did was be around people.

152
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,240

165
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: I am certain that I had the best trip of

166
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: my entire life. Jet turned thirteen. That's my son. For

167
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: anybody who doesn't know, he turned thirteen. And I was like,

168
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: damn black boys in America, you know, or or around

169
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: the world except for maybe Africa. Obviously, they don't have

170
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: a writer passage. You know. If you're Zulu, you know,

171
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: you go up the mountain. And for anybody who knows

172
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: what that is, you know what that is where from

173
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: from what I understand, if you go up the mountain,

174
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: you go up the mountain and there's men there and

175
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: they teach you how to do important things that helped

176
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: to establish your manhood. And by the time you get

177
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: back to your village, your your young man, and people

178
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: treat you as such. Right for Jewish boys, you got

179
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: your brab mitzvah. You have to learn a passage in Hebrew.

180
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: That's not easy. You know. Um, you have a big

181
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: old party, everybody celebrates you and brab mitzvahs are a

182
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: lot of fun. But I was like, what do you

183
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: do you know, wait till our kids are like sixteen

184
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: to have a sweet sixteen or fifteen for King Tiniera.

185
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: Um with some people do. So I decided a couple

186
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: of years ago I started putting money away. And I know,

187
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: I know people, UM will hear me say something like that,

188
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: like I started to put money away, but I need

189
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: you to understand that I saved for the things that

190
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: I want to do. Okay, and Um, I compartmentalized money

191
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: the same way that I compartmentalized my emotions sometimes. So UM,

192
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to do it big and I took I

193
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: took money out of everything that I earned, and I

194
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: put it towards this trip for jet. I called it

195
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: a bro mitzvah I saw that on Blackish once, UM,

196
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: and I thought that that was really fly. I was like, Okay,

197
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: a bro mitzvah um. But we didn't want to. I

198
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: didn't want to do a party because it's been two years.

199
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: Kids haven't really been hanging out like that. So I'm

200
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a bunch of awkward kids in the space

201
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pay a whole bunch of money to

202
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: had him look weird at each other. I decided Jed

203
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: had been talking about Paris for quite some time, so UM,

204
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,199

382
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: and you got a little bit time left. Um. Again,

383
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: the flight was great, um, the whole deceeding and all

384
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,320

00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: You know, he kept giving me the damn girl, look

387
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: that thing good. Anyway, we go from South Africa and

388
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: we take a little flight to my womb um that's

389
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: in Botswana. So thus far he's gotten three stamps on

390
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: his passport, one to Paris, one to South Africa and

391
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: one to Botswana. So we're back where I was pregnant

392
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: with Oh god, I know, I just was watching most

393
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: of the and the arrangements you must have made based

394
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: on your knowledge of that area, like so being able

395
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: to go back and having it not be a new

396
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: experience for years so that you could be the we

397
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: discovered things together. So I'm gonna say that I went

398
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: to Paris. We went to Paris first because he really

399
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: wanted to go to Paris. He wanted to see what

400
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: he was in before. And I think that we had

401
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: a great meandering of streets and walk of thinnes. We

402
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: definitely had some walk up thinnes. You know. He gotta

403
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: those ceilings. Friends, if you have not been to the

404
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: Louver and in Paris, that that art museum, the the detail,

405
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: even the wood on the floors, the ceilings, the your

406
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: camera will never quite do justice. It gives a good

407
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: idea what you saw, but it it doesn't really give

408
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: you the dimensions of things. And he also had an

409
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to see that the moors were present around Jesus

410
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: consistently in those um in those paintings. I was like,

411
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, pointing out the moors pointing out the brown

412
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: skin you know, all over the place. Um, it's particularly

413
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: you know in Greek uh in some of the Greek

414
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: are we saw a lot of brown people. That's not

415
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: an accident, that's not time, that's not discoloration. I was like, wow, okay,

416
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: they get Jesus color right now. Those photos, those those

00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: he's doing. And he's just got his mouth open like

00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: this is real. Said, I'm gonna take you to Lion King, okay,

Speaker 1: there and they have a van a truck waiting for us.

459
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: You know, you've seen them on TV, the Safari trucks.

00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: So we we get in. Of course they're going to

461
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: offer us beverages because when I tell you, when you

00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: go on Safari, the one thing that they're going to

463
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: do two things for sure. Um, they're definitely going to

464
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: feed you like crazy. I want to know what that is?

465
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: Do I want to eat a have Beth? And you're

466
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: going to go on Safari at least three times a

467
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: day because it's it's literally never the same show twice.

468
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean I see that. Okay, So walk us through

469
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: these things. You know, I need to know what the

470
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: food isn't need to know what, the different things. So

471
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: what y'all eat in the in the safari, Yeah, what

472
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: y'all eat? Let's do that first, the I guess lounge,

473
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: if you will. Everything is on is on a platform,

474
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: so we're not on the ground. The tents because we

475
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: stayed in the tent. The tents that we're in are

476
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: not on the ground. Everything is it's like a bridge. Right,

477
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: we're high up, um, not too high, UM, maybe about

478
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: a good ten feet off the ground. Um. Right. So

479
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: that's all like really pretty. Everything is just really well done.

480
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: And it's what you imagine with the white curtains and

481
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: the um. It doesn't have heat, it doesn't have air condition. UM.

482
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: At night it gets very very cool, depending on the

483
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: time that you go. But they put what they call

484
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: bush babies in your in your bed um and and

485
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: bush babies are um hot water bottles that are covered

486
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: in something fuzzy and it keeps your bed nice and warm.

487
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: So every night there's bush babies in your bed, and

488
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: it's so happy to have them because this brick' is

489
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: really really cold in the desert at night. But the

490
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: dag on foods, you know, I'm here with it. The

491
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: lady comes out and when I tell you everybody so pretty,

492
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: like they're just pretty. Mm hmm, yeah, that's that was

493
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: one of Jet's first observations. Here's like, mom, everybody's just

494
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: so pretty. I said, this is crazy, right, just crazy.

495
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: All different kinds of faces. Um, some some with really

496
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: big guys, some with slanting to the eye, some some

497
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 1: really fair skinned, some some wide no some big lips,

498
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: some one big lip, one small lip, some freckles, some molls.

499
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: You know, this is people, people coming, all different shapes

500
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: and sizes, but that there's something else that is attached

501
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: to these folks. It's like a light within that is

502
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: just you can't ignore it. So to the pretty lady

503
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,239
Speaker 1: comes out and I can't remember her name, it was

504
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: it was like four sillables forgive me. And she comes

505
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: out and she says, today I have prepared for you

506
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: and tacho, I'm soup with fresh crime and a spartacles

507
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: and and then she goes on and we're like just amazed,

508
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: just like looking like, oh, whatever you say, you know,

509
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna eat it. Why was it even better than Paris?

510
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Of course because way better, like way better. Of course.

511
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: The seasons there is just incredible, and they feed you breakfast, lunch, dinner,

512
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: and high tea. What do they eat breakfast? They typically

513
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: have like an English breakfast, which is some big beans, eggs, sausage. Um.

514
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: They had beef sausages. They had chicken sausage. I was like,

515
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: thank you so much, um. And I don't recall eating

516
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: like fresh muffins and things like that. Um. But they

517
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: made omelets. They made The thing that Jet loved the

518
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: most was porridge. He loved porridge. Just ate it slow

519
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: and looked at the O and he was like, this

520
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: is crazy porridge. He loved porridge. Okay, so we go

521
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: out on so far, and you know, I'm a little

522
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: nervous because now I'm second guessing myself. Did I just

523
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: bring my cup out here to get aped by something?

524
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 1: Because you do have to sign a waiver saying that

525
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: if you happen to die, it's nothing fault that you

526
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: fully knew that you were coming to an area where

527
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: they are wild and moneymus They make sure that you

528
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: know as much as possible. How you know, they take

529
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: every precaution, every procution to make sure that you're safe,

530
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: and you have to follow the dog on rules. Don't

531
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: go off the damned bridge and decide you're gonna take

532
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: a walk. You're not safe, dummy, you know, but that

533
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: that boy could kill you. Mind you, they're bones outside

534
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: of our road and they are were just sitting on

535
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: the deck and just watched them play, and the baboons

536
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: and the zebra and the impala and the kid. They're

537
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: all together because you know, they're not out here eat meat.

538
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: They're just chilling, just chilling. It's so much to say.

539
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: We saw a a leopard. They had killed a zebra

540
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: and had a piece of the legs up on the tree.

541
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: And she just looks she looks so satisfied. She looks

542
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: so satisfied. Her legs were gapped over. And I said, wow,

543
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: our guy, his name is Kombungle. We also Delta, Delta

544
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: just he wanted to make sure I told him why

545
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: we were there, and he really made sure to to

546
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: educate gent and to um to go as close as possible.

547
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: We were so close to lions. I just was like

548
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: I prayed the whole time. Um. We also had a

549
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: flat tire while we were in the tall brush, tall bush.

550
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: It was during the day, but that means nothing. Uh.

551
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: And the lions. The lions are the exact same color

552
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: as the bush and Um, I stood up and Jet

553
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 1: was like, what are you doing? And I said, I'm

554
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: looking like a mere cat and he was like, here

555
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: you go with this mere cat. I was like, I'm

556
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: watching because all I could think of was if a

557
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: lion happens to come out and God for big kill,

558
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: come bungle. Um, the wheel is off, and even if

559
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: I could drive this truck, I don't know where to go.

560
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: We started an hour ago, an hour in every direction,

561
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: you still have not reached them. The delta is so big.

562
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: We saw hippopotamus, we saw ostrich, we saw baby ones,

563
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: we saw leopard, we saw lion, We saw so many.

564
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: We saw eagles, white eagles. I didn't know they existed.

565
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: We saw my favorite animals, the key do. We saw

566
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: loads of them with their pretty selves, whatever kind of

567
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: mixture they are. We saw jackals, we saw oh boy, um,

568
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: we saw it all, and we saw it morning, noon, tonight.

569
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: Because the show is never the same, like the animals

570
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: are always doing something. They're living. Okay, So this is

571
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: my first example. Oh god, oh my god, a freedom.

572
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: This is what freedom looks like. This is there's no

573
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: confines here. This is what freedom it's like. You're able

574
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: to do whatever you want, whenever you want, however you want,

575
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: for as long as you want. Period. Okay, So UM

576
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: at night that the sky turns read sometimes it's purple,

577
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: sometimes it's it's it's the orange. Like we can't fath

578
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: the way that the moon shines and the way that

579
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: the pictures do no justice. There's no camera I think

580
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: that could capture what these these colors really look like.

581
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: So we spent four days there with them. Then we

582
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: took a helicopter to um the Calajadi desert. Wow, at

583
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: this point, can I just ask an American question, Jill?

584
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: At this point, how are you guys avoiding the bites,

585
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: the bug bites these things? Are you still buck bite free?

586
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: Because y'all was standing, it's also fabric all around you

587
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that you're that you don't get bitten.

588
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: They have the spray called boom in the room. UM,

589
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: so you can spray boom just in case if you

590
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, you feel away. But I make it a

591
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: point to go um if and when UM I traveled

592
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: to Botswana, I'm not going in there summer. I go

593
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: in the winter. So and that's June and July are

594
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: the best times to travel to me and and at

595
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: winter that the weather it's still what in June July

596
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: and what is the it's res snably warm during the day,

597
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: but it's a different sun there. It's a whole different

598
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: sun there. Okay, so warm is you know, eighties, upper eighties,

599
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: um during the day and at night somewhere in the

600
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 1: twenties we slept in sweatsuits and um, fuzzy socks. Well yeah,

601
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean I heard that the desert can't get really cold,

602
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: but I didn't think get that cold. Not that cold,

603
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: and that less it's the bugs because they don't be

604
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: around in the cold, that's true. So at least you

607
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: then there was one moment when they wanted to tell

608

Speaker 1: me how they felt. And I didn't see it coming,

609

Speaker 1: and they told Jet, um, you hear about these stories

615
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: when when somebody says, you're in Africa, welcome home. But

616
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,439

Speaker 1: You're giving people a very real kind of you know,

635
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: just this moment where they can say I can come

636
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: up with the thing and create it and then follow

637
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: through and that these are all the elements to what

638
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: it would look like and feel like. And then and

639
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: it goes with with whatever budget you have that if

640
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: we can't if we're not doing the big party, you know,

641
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: if if we're not doing the walk with all the men,

642
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, and they take the boy away for you know,

643

644
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,879

645
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, that they're going into their manhood and that

646
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: they're going into their womanhood as well. Like these things

647
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: are super valuable, you know, I think. Anyway, so we're

648
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: in the Calcadi. This is the most luxurious ship. Honestly,

649
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: I've ever seen this tent. The tent is a mansion, baby, Okay.

00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: The toilet is an absolute throne of mahogany. Like, you

656
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. Look, we had our private pool

657
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: or punge pool, and we had an outdoor shower and

658
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: the outdoor toilet and they were separate from each other

659
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: just in case you felt like taking the poop and

660
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: in the bush. We went on safari twice a day

661
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: because we were like, we're a little bit We took

662
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: naps in between. So we got up in five th

663
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: had an amazing breakfast every day. Um. We went out,

664
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: saw all the things. Um, and the desert is different.

665
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: So we're now we're looking at we're looking at we're

666
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: looking at the sky, we're looking at the animals. Of course,

667
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: we ended up bumping into a very large lion. Like okay,

668
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: I understand what a bump. We just happened to turn

669
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: the corner. He was there in the car. We had

670
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: a cage around. There's no cage around the car. So

671
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: he saw us, we saw him, and then we just

672
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: sat quietly and he did. He was like oh and

673
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: went on about his business doing what he was doing.

674
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: Because he's free and living without fear. There's nobody there

675
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: to shoot him or hunt him or kill him. So

676
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, there's one of these things, and

677
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: he's not hungry. So because and we're also not exactly

678
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: on the menu, um, but there is. I've heard many times,

679
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 1: um that people get killed insafari because they don't follow

680
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: the rules. They get out the van, they get out

681
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: the Safari jep, they go and want to take a

682
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: picture with the lion. Like it's freaking simple and I

00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: and I can guarantee you they ain't got this brown

684
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: on their arms. I can guarantee you those people, girl

00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: I wish I could take this whatever this thing is

757
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: with me, right, you did ship not to cell, bring foil.

758
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: And they find a scorpion, right, this big scorpion they

759
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: dug out the ground and now they're playing with it.

760
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, I'm allergic to beast things,

761
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: so now you know. But they're they're telling us they

762
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: didn't really, they didn't really speak English. We had a

763
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: translator who had to live with them in order to

764
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: learn how to speak the language. Because people who speak Paddy,

765
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: people who speaks Zulu Pulsa, I don't know how to

766
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: say that. Right, whatever the languages, this is not that.

767
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: This is old, old, old, old, okay. And it takes

768
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: a lot of time, and you have to live you

769
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: have to be completely immersed in it in order to

770
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: to to learn it. And even still our guide spoke

771
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: six or seven languages, but he said he lived with

772
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: them and still struggles. He said, I can hear, but

773
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: I can't speak as well as I wish I could.

774
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, okay. So they play with the scorpion.

775
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: The guy this this, the bushman puts the scorpion in

776
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: his mouth. I'm never I'm bugged out. I'm bugged out.

777
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: He was like, there, there are friends, there are toys.

778
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: We play with them, and they dog another whole put

779
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: their dude away and buried him. And I was like,

780
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: it's scorpions in this damn doesn't really big facteth us

781
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 1: underneath us. So now Jet and I'm looking everywhere because

782
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: we are a little bit skinned. Now you're not going

783
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: back to merecat status. You know, have thorns in our

784
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: socks and trying to act like everything is cool because

785
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: their barefoot. Why aren't they stopping to take thorns out

786
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: of their socks because it hurts? How you got you

787
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: got shoes on the right. Yeah, but there's there. These

788
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: thorns are coming up under the under the pants or

789
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: something I don't know, and getting stuck like a tiny

790
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: mean needle, like a mean little needle. Well, this is

791
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: the reality also of nature and being outside and you know,

792
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: different terrain. We struggled with that one because every few

793
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: steps it was a new mean needle. And when we

794
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to we didn't want to play ourselves like

795
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: you y'all don't have no shoes on, how are you

796
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: not getting stuck by me needles? I was like, yeah,

797
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: So they made fire out of jackal dung. How you

798
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: make fire to do too, I don't know, but what

799
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: we watched it, we were amazed. We were amazed. I

800
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 1: mean I've never even seen the jack They may fire,

801
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean out of the jack dumb Wow. Okay, there's

802
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: a gas or something that comes off a pool. They

803
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: mashed it up and it was like soft because there's

804
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: like like like hey, it turns into kind of like hey,

805
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: so you know, enough friction it became fire. We were

806
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: like damn happy too. And it's crazy. The pictures that

807
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: we took with the with the bushmen that came out black,

808
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: all of them, and that crazy. You feel like something's

809
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: weren't meant to be seen or you can't see their faces.

810
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 1: And the pictures in between are there, but the pictures

811
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: directly with them standing next to them are black. And

812
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: we were like, oh, in that dope. They bring us

813
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: our our lunch outside. It's so it's so jazzy, it's

814
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: so special, it's so extra okay, all the things. And

815
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: then we take a TVs into the self. A TVs

816
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: are those four wheels vehicles. The salt flats are as

817
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: big as Switzerland. It's where your water used to be.

818
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: But no more right, and so it's like it's like

819
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: white on the ground with the big cracks. Yes, and

820
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: we went directly into the salt flats. Beautiful on the

821
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: a t v s. We sped like crazy. Um. The

822
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: guy was like a valet. He was like, you want

823
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: to go fast? St Ja was like yes because he's

824
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: driving himself for the first time. And that was dope,

825
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 1: ast ship. Um we get out, we get way out there.

826
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 1: We drove for like an hour into the salt flats.

827
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's how big it is, Okay,

828
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: And then we get off and he says, um, find

829
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: an area by yourself. And I noticed that as I'm walking,

830
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: there's really no sound out there. There's no sound. Yeah,

831
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: I felt like that, boll. It's not the same, but

832
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: like out in the desert when you go to like

833
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: Arizona and stuff like that, Like you get out to

834
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: a certain point and it's like standing in like a

835
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: studio or something like, it's like flat, no sound. It

836
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: was deep and I honestly started to feel a little

837
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: fear because I'm not accustomed to not hearing any sounds.

838
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 1: But I was safe. I know I was safe because

839
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: we're an hour away from any trees or vegetation. Animals

840
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: are not walking out there, they'll die, they know better.

841
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: There's nothing growing out there. So he says, all right, now,

842
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: lay down, and we're in three different places, and um,

843
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: he says, enjoy the sunset. And the sky turned peach

844
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: and then it turned blue and then and then all

845
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there were stars just popping up. And

846
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: I think, you know, obviously we've all seen starts before,

847
00:49:55,239 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: but they turned colors. They were green and red and yellow.

848
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: I've never seen a rainbow of stars before. And then

849
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: they were shooting stars in between, not one, not twelve,

850
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: not fifty, just so, so, so many. And he says,

851
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: all right, now after and now I realized that we

852
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: have to ride back. Yeah, there's there's lights on the

853
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,280
Speaker 1: a t v s, but we also have to ride

854
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: through the bush on these a t vs. The driver,

855
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: I mean the guide Valet shout out to Vallet. He's

856
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: in the front, jets in the middle, and I've decided

857
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: to take the back because I think I'm gonna protect him.

858
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: And I got his back. I said, my god, what

859
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: am I gonna do something? Decided to jump on my

860
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: chat which direction to do? Out, what does something jump

861
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 1: on me? And Jett is gunning it. He's gunning it hard.

862
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: Just I got a gun it too, But also not

863
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 1: get in his dust, because if I'm in his dust,

864
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: I can't see, you know. And we're just out here

865
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: in the middle of all of this, you know. And

866
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: I figured, Okay, maybe the noise will distract and they

867
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: won't want to, you know, funk with us. But I

868
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 1: was scared. I was very, very scared. But we arrived

869
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: back at our jeep and then we rode on to

870
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: camp and had a wonderful meal, met people from all

871
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: over the world. Most of them were Americans, which was

872
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: really surprising. And then we left. Were out there any

873
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: chips out there? Any chips? Any American chips out there? No?

874
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: But I want you to go. I know you do.

875
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna be working on it, just to see that.

876
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: See what. So the first part of the trip was

877
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: so Jack to see what man can do in Paris

878
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: with the architecture and all art. And this next part

879
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 1: is for him to see what God does and what

880
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: God can do. We couldn't capture, so what the stars did.

881
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: We only could look at it with our eyes and

882
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: be humbled. By it. Magnificence, like the true definition of creativity.

883
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 1: Nothing better than this, nothing from the animals, to the trees,

884
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: to the all of the things. Okay, so we leave

885
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 1: this wonderful experience just floating. We've learned so much. We'll

886
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: be back after the break. Now we're on our way

887
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: to Amsterdam, and we get to one of my favorite

888
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: cities in the world, and we kicked it. We walked

889
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: the dogs, we ate the waffles. We we went to

890
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: Fabricue de Luminesque, a light museum, and that was freaking

891
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: phenomenal because the light it was uh what's his name,

892
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: Gustaf Clement his artwork, which was very, very colorful. They

893
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 1: had it everywhere. It just became all around you. They

894
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: have a black warehouse and they created these freaking dope

895
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: ass lights and the art was all over you, everywhere

896
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: you look. It was amazing. We must have stayed in

897
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: there for at least an hour, like it was fresh.

898
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 1: You can rid your bike everywhere, and we took a canal.

899
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: He I wanted to Heineken because Heineken is better overseas.

900
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: I gotta Heineken And I was like, you want a beer,

901
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: and he was like, mom, Mom, I'm not, I'm a child.

00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm I said, okay, and the guy says, well, I

903
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 1: mean we have Haneken zero. I said, what was Heineken zero?

904
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: He was like, just no alcohol in it? And I

905
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: was like, you gotta. He was like I do. So

906
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: we enjoyed a beer together and we did that multiple times,

907
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: his Heineken zero and my heine again, and we you know,

908
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,720
Speaker 1: chatting it up and enjoying ourselves. We sat on park benches.

909
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: He's like, mom, I don't think or or a little

910
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: cafe tables. He was like, mom, I don't think we

911
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: could sit here. Um, where's the restaurant? I said, exactly,

912
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: their seats here because people need to sit. There's uh

913
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: lollipops here because people get drying out there. It's like,

914
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, there's it's a conscious

915
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: consideration of what people want in this place. So we

916
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: got a chance to experience three different kinds of creativity

917
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: and freedom, which is hopefully, you know, the goal to inspire.

918
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: He bought some dope ship. I gave him a budget.

919
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: I watched he found his style between Paris and Amsterdam.

920
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure, he found his thing. He was

921
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 1: like this is apparently Hugo Bosses is where the boy lives.

922
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I said, you know what this means, right,

923
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: you know what this means? He was like, what is it?

924
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: Good job? You got that good? Good? Good. We go

925
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: into stories. He's like, oh those sneak his mom no

926
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: steaks fresh and oh man, oh man. I just looked

927
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: at the fray and I was like, oh, look at

928
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: your taste. It was like, were you looking at You're

929
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna be taking care of mama. Okay, good? I like it,

930
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, so we we did all of those things.

931
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: He had a burger in a place, Oh my god,

932
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: cannibal royal. I think that's what it was called Royal Cannibal.

933
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 1: They made a veggie burger for that child. I watched

934
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: my son have his first food orgasm, and I loved it.

935
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: He did. He absolutely lost himself. He didn't speak for

936
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: he kept looking at it and shaking his head. He

937
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: rolled his eyes back, he closed his eyes, he looked

938
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: at it again. He bit it slow. I said, this

939
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: is that's it. That's what I'm looking and he is

940
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:59,720
Speaker 1: his mother's child. That is truly. We're establishing your taste

941
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: as well. Okay. I see how you get there. So yeah,

942
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: and when the answer them. We also went to the

943
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: Torture Museum and all of this understanding when you take

944
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: these trips, that this is really about the education of

945
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: our kids, you know what I mean. You want to

946
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: broaden their horizons and help them understand. So we got

947
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 1: in there and when I tell you the medieval ship

948
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: that was going on the time it took to create

949
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: some of that maniacal, vicious, brutal ship, Jet says, wow,

950
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: so it's always been like that. But that's what I

951
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: was just thinking. The minds, the way these minds work.

952
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: They had a piece of wood, piece of wood, a

953
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: big triangle, right, This was the one that that got me.

954
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,720
Speaker 1: I think that all of them were crazy and way

955
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: too freaking much, but this thing was a big triangle.

956
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: And what they do is they put the triangle way

957
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: up and you gotta get on the ladder to get

958
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 1: up on the triangle. Then they sit your raw neckd

959
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: ass on the triangle and add weights to your arms

960
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: and your feet. Oh so it just hurts on your

961
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: ass like you're just just digging into your ass, like slowly, slowly.

962
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: These others are so creative with your torture. Wow, we

963
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: saw oh they cutting titties off. They was all kinds

964
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: of crazy, extra brutal, and the museum was only, you know,

965
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: maybe about thirty minute visit. But we walked out of

966
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: there like, damn. Your shout outs to Jill because into

967
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: all the people listening, y'all gotta understand, Jill just broke

968
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: down Amsterdam heavily without using the word cannabis or red

969
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: light district. And that is truly beautiful because there is

970
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: so much more, because it's so much more to these cities.

971
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: You didn't even say tulips or tulips. So look they

972
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: had on June teenth, because we were there for June

973
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 1: Team on juneteenth um, they had DJ's on every block.

974
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: So in the areas where people were eating and shopping,

975
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: there were DJs. Now we took it as it was

976
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: June Teeth for us, like this was will know why

977
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: y'all doing this, but this is June Teeth. They played

978
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: Biggie and my son and I blacked out dancing in

979
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: the streets, dancing in the street. It was so fun

980
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: and so what again, free can I remind people as

981
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: they as people listen to your story, I want to

982
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: also remind people that, you know, not for nothing, most

983
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: of us have a friend or some type of family

984
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: member that works for the airline, and most of us

985
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: tend to use those advantages that we take to go

986
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: to like Miami or California, where I like to remind

987
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: people that if you got access to some type of

988
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: flying privileges, you need to use those internationally. Use some

989
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: of this stuff that Jill is saying. Using internationally, it's cheaper,

990
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: it's cheaper, it gives you more of a discount. I

991
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: just want to remind people of that. People who think

992
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: they can't. Everybody knows somebody to work for the airline.

993
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: Think about it. I've been traveling for forty something years

994
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: and I use my mama's flight attended privileges. But I'm

995
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: just saying it's a blessing, and I just think it's

996
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 1: closer than people think it is. It's always yeah, I mean,

997
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: you can you can accumulate miles in a bunch of

998
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,959
Speaker 1: different ways these days, and also to like even through

999
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: your credit cards to all kinds of different things. But

1000
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, but and also to like, there's a bunch

1001
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: of different travel hacks and a bunch of different um

1002
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: websites and Instagram and TikTok pages around being black and

1003
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: traveling solo and traveling with kids. You know. Um there's

1004
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: a blog called the Traveling Child. I believe it's called

1005
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: there's a black woman who travels with her young daughters

1006
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: all the time and they've been everywhere together. Travel Noir,

1007
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: which is another good one, and so just just like

1008
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: a lot of different you know. So it's ways to

1009
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: travel and make it more affordable, and travel with kids.

1010
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: You know, I have six kids. Even I wish they

1011
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: would give you all your own plane sometimes, but that's fine.

1012
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm here for it. I mean, it's it's

1013
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: a thing. In restaurant Cannonball Royal, they played hip hop,

1014
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: they played hip hop and Dutch and they got veggie

1015
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: burgers and it's called Cannaball. I love that. I got

1016
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: a chicken sandwich and they put a chicken wing on

1017
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: on it, on top of it, and I was like,

1018
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: why why have you that? Just what made you do that?

1019
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who's back there and whatever that mustard is,

1020
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: fuck you, fuck you for that mustard. Fuck you, but

1021
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: that mustard. I wanted to I wanted to lay down

1022
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: in it. I wanted to lick it off of someone

1023
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: I love deeply, and now I want to look at

1024
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: on somebody I love dearly. Ms. I'm like, that's that's

1025
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: that should be the caliber of sauce you should have

1026
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: or anything from now War. Yeah, that's the standard. It's

1027
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: definitely the standard. That's the standard of sauces from now War.

1028
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Oh what a wonderful time you got, Like food, culture, art, nature,

1029
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: it's all these really beautiful things that I kind of

1030
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: incorporated and then so much more. Like I said, we

1031
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 1: need to probably unfold over time all the things, you

1032
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean, what it's gonna take me and

1033
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: take me some time to do that, but we're gonna,

1034
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: you know what, We're gonna end this podcast today because um,

1035
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's been kind of long and we're just

1036
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: talking about this one thing so much. You feel long

1037
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,439
Speaker 1: because you've been talking, but it's been great. Please take

1038
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: your time and unwrap these thoughts that our children deserve

1039
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 1: to have some kind of right of passage into their maturation.

1040
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: We are their parents, We are the aunts and uncles

1041
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: were their grandparents. Um, and it this was what I

1042
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: chose to do with the means that I had. But

1043
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: it's it's fair to say that, UM, our kids deserve

1044
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 1: to have something really really special around this time. And

1045
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: guess what you can do it. You can do it.

1046
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: You can do it, um, just figure out how you

1047
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: want to do it. If that means a lake house

1048
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: that Airbnb for a week with family and friends, or

1049
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: just all your kids friends, UM, that's dope. If it

1050
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: means a trip to New York City, you know, all

1051
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: lights and and all the fast pace and energy. If

1052
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: that's what it means to that Broadway show, take your

1053
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: kids to it. Bro. So, thank you so much for

Speaker 1: a two year old son, and after listening to this,

1058
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm starting a travel fund. Like now, speaking of travel funds,

1059
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: you do not have to be rich to see the world,

1060
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: just intentional. I'm going to share with you in an

1061
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: article from nerd Wallet that outlines a couple of the

1062
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: best apps for saving money. I personally use capital to

1063
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: build my little travel fund and I love it. I'm

1064
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: saving and I don't even realize it. It allows you

1065
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: to create rules around your spending habits. For example, like

1066
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: if I get a coffee, it'll automatically put two dollars

1067
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: into my savings. I'll also drop in links to some

1068
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: of the incredible places Jill visited on her trip. I

1069
01:03:51,200 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 1: hope we all get to see a zebra soon. Hi.
