You Actually I didn't have 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.800 negative test the negative twice. It wasn't corona. Apparently it 0:00:55.840 --> 0:01:00.040 was a really bad cold, but I feel like it 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:04.120 probably stressed related. My body completely shut down. So basically 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.600 it was like I spoke to my mom and then 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.920 two days later my body just really shut down. I know, 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.880 I was so excited to talk str I think like 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.000 it could have been like stress, and then it's just 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.679 that's that's what I think it was. I think it 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.320 was just hearing her voice kind of called me down, 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.920 and it allowed my body to be to actively be 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.920 as sick as it actually was so. Um, I took 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.679 the whole week off. I was able to just kind 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.319 of calm down and you know, do what I needed 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.399 to do. So I appreciate you guys for the sport. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.440 I'm super grateful, thank you, thank you. This is what 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.640 happens when you get the time to your mama and 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.679 some rest. That's what I do for is that, That's 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.360 what I do for him? Alright, already just takes you 0:01:50.440 --> 0:02:01.760 missed it it, get into it all right, decent Um, 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.080 And can you get Barriss to collaborate on new Netflix 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.840 series based on fifties book The Fiftieth Law. Uh, the 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:14.799 anti biography biography story is details on the life and 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.160 career fifty cents. So I'm assuming it's going to be 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.280 like the movie right to get rich of that trying movie. Yes, No, 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.920 I guess in a way. But this is a series. 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.359 So and I'm a fan of Kenya Barris. I love 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:32.000 follow his mixed Ish, Blackish, Oldish, grownish, all the issues. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:36.200 I love it. So I feel like, um with him 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.240 you know on board, I think this is gonna be great. 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:45.120 Listen at this point, Um, anything fifty decides to do, 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.560 I think it's very strategic. Um, and I think it 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.880 everything he does has been successful, you know, for the 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:57.000 most part, and if telling his story can be told 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.320 in a series and help him get more and more money, 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.359 even if even if he is adding a little flavor 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.240 to it, that's really what a lot of this is about. Okay, 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.560 It's about having a foundation and creating something to get 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.680 some bread. And that's what this man is doing. That 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.800 man is going to continue to make money off of 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.600 his lifestyle for a very lofty listen to boys, smart man. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.000 He's not a smart move and he puts the right 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.680 people around him, just like power. This is gonna be 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.679 successful as well. So I can't wait for it to 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:31.360 come out. Okay, yeah, I think the content creators um 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:36.320 really more successful than the artist. I think so personally 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.240 I can agree with that. And it's more money. He 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.080 does have one of the best albums of all time. 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.960 Get rich Trying albums, I'll give you that for sure. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:50.240 I mean, when you think about it, like these movies 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.840 and all these new series that we're all watching, like 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.240 that kind of surround this particular type of lifestyle, they're 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.200 all doing very well. So why not take your story 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.480 if you've actually lift it and find a cinematic way 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.600 to tell it. He did. He is doing that alright, 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:11.000 Moving right along. Property owners sues the baby for alleged 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.680 assault after he tried to end an authorized video shoot. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.000 You know, these rappers these days, there's on these social 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.960 media platforms. They tend to get an a Airbnb or 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.800 you know, wherever they go and they shoot videos all 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:29.400 the time. And sometimes these owners don't like the bs 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.120 that goes on in these video shoots. So is that 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.320 a real thing? Is that a real thing? They're really 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.159 just going on like Airbnb Venbo getting the house and 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:38.880 feel like they just about to shoot me the video 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:40.800 or is it just like they're in the house Kei Kian, 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:45.920 you know it's a party, like see the differences Now 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.760 it's COVID restrictions. So the man was saying that he 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.640 agreed to no more than twelve people. This man had 0:04:54.680 --> 0:05:00.520 a whole shoot there. So about pot Yeah, just outside 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:04.640 the COVID. Everybody knows, okay that people want location fees 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.719 when when you shoot music videos at the slot, like 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.640 nobody is putting a house on Airbnb to get air 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.479 BB prices when y'all are shooting million dollar videos, like 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.040 nobody's doing that well, these I think these videos are 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:26.760 TikTok and trailer. Sometimes. I'm not saying that this that 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.479 was the case for this, but I think sometimes it 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:34.039 involves you know, uh TikTok trailer. But from what I 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.760 read UM, when the owner got there, he went to 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.960 shut it down, he was knocked on the ground by 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.839 an unknown person. They also claimed that when the baby 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.400 got out of the car, uh, they chased him into 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.640 the house and warned them not to call the police. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.320 Then sucker punched them in the mouth. Um also says 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.000 that the baby uh knocked the tooth out and left 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.599 him bloody. Now I've met the baby, the baby is 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.000 a nice guy. I don't think the baby is even 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:05.920 capable of such a heinous accusation. I mean, I ain't 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:10.359 gonna putbody and I don't know what happened because I 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.599 wasn't Now he's innocent, Okay, well listen, I wasn't there. 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.520 I don't know what happened. What I will say is, yes, 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.840 the baby is a very nice person. He's a he's 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.760 a people person. He's somewhat easy to talk to. But 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.520 do I think that he's not capable of doing what 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:33.520 he allegedly did and he seeing what he don't play, 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.040 shouting man not saying several times, okay, what what do 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.240 you say for ur? He he a rapper that will 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.760 really pop off, like stop y'all. He says it in 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.599 his music all the time. We've seen video of him 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:52.560 being help a promoter. You know again, well, it didn't 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.800 looked like the promoter was laughing at that time. It 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:58.320 didn't look funny at all at that time. Now again, 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.320 I say they did it. I don't know. I don't know. People, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.880 I wasn't there. I don't know what happened. But don't 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.479 be sitting here and talking about he's too nice to 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.880 do something like that, because he's nice with them hands too, Okay, 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.560 and he has shown us that several times. He's a 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.520 nice guy with the hands. All right, Let's get serious though, 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:20.120 because Tiger Woods is recovering playing surgery to repair significant 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.480 injuries to his right leg. From what I've heard, it's 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:28.120 all on espn um that he's even if he makes 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.240 it out of surgery, which they said it's a nine 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.920 nine point nine percent chance, and making that surgery, he's 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:37.360 gonna have to return daily to clean out the muscle 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.520 area of the muscle tissues and all that stuff. He 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.400 got into a pretty bad accident, and uh, Sue Solo. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.160 We were talking about that on the radio streets now 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.640 four five Monday through Friday two pm to six pm. 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:52.040 Roran Sewart two were talking about this, and uh, we 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.000 were a little nervous because she was like, where is that? 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.160 And I said, I guarantee you it's in Los Angeles 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.760 because they got those heels man, those little windy hills 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.920 that tend to you know, can be prone to bad 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:10.120 car accidents if you lose focus for I'd say a second. Now, yeah, 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.320 I mean honestly, when I saw, you know, it kind 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.559 of just came across the screen. We're at the radio station, 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.200 and um, they said it was a single car crash. 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.320 So I'm thinking, okay, Like damn, I hope he wasn't 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.880 trump driving. I hope he wasn't under the influence of anything. 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.680 And to see the photo, it does look like the 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.560 car fell from a hill, like a cliff for one 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.040 of those windy roads that you were describing. The one 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.400 thing that I immediately thought about was obviously number one. 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.440 I hope he's okay. I hope he makes it through. 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.400 Number two was is he going to be able to 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.199 play golf as well as he was with a messed 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.040 up leg. Um. I don't know how intense his injuries are. 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.559 I don't know permanent damage. I don't know anything like 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.200 that right now, but I could imagine that if there's 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.480 something wrong, permanently wrong with his legs, because then I 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.440 have to retrain his body on how to play golf, 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.400 because you need some sturdy athlete. Yeah, based off I'm 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.600 a ESPN junkie. Based off the reports, Uh, they said 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.640 it's gonna be an eight to twelve month recovery. So 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.640 if I'm not even going to note if he can 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.520 play golf within until after that time frame. So we're 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.240 about a year out, you know what. And he's alive. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.199 He is well. He's made it through some crazy things 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.439 in his career, in his life, and I think that 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.120 he will make it through this just and that's what 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.640 people are happy about. People are happy that he's alive, 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.040 more so as the golf park because he's already and 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.520 they did report that he was not impaired, and it 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.360 was quite it was like a pretty big road. It 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.360 wasn't like a little narrow road, and it was he 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.280 was the only one in the accident. So I'm not sure. 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.880 We're still you know, waiting for details on this story. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.120 But he is well, and I feel like he should 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.959 just relax and just let his body, you know, recover, 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.760 and it may be the time to wrap it up 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:00.840 with golf and just be the dad who coaches your 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.240 son to be another youth. Yeah, you got kids. It's 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.000 time for him to be daddy Tiger, just daddy Tiger 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.240 and eventually be Granddaddy Tiger. How about that? I think so. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.600 And you know, he was just doing the father's son tournament, 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.560 I believe, with his son um and his son as 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.959 a golfer. So I think it's about that time. Listen, y'all, man, 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.600 check on your mental health, your physical health. Make sure 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.400 that you know that you are blessed every day that 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.360 you wake up, Okay, and do not take the ship 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.880 for granted. Because people are losing their lives at the 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.440 drop of a dime. I mean, this is a real. 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.000 Death is real, and I don't think that a lot 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.199 of us, you know, really consider how quickly like to 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:44.000 be taken away. So keep your loved ones close. That's 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.760 all I can say. Speaking of close guys and at 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.360 home shots of Johnson and Johnson COVID nineteen's vaccine will 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.040 roll out in New York City. New York's plans to 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.559 distribute Johnson and Johnson single dose of COVID nineteen vaccine 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.959 to his senior residences once the vaccine maker receives approval 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:06.199 for emergency use authorization. Johnson Johnson Player has pledged to 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:10.280 provide twenty million doses of the single dose COVID nineteen 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.520 vaccine by the end of March. UM they're waiting for 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.719 the FDA to give it emergency authorization. What do you 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.560 guys think about to get it? Um? Didn't Johnson Johnson 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.719 do like a recall because they have like ebola and 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:28.880 the baby powder or something like that, Like okay, calm down, 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.320 go down. So you guys are still not taking the vaccine, right, 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:37.000 I'm gonna start researching they're talking about taking the vaccines. 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.520 I will go ahead soon. What do you say, are 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.920 you gonna take the original vaccine or are you gonna 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.400 take the vaccine that they tweaked because now they're talking 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.480 about they're gonna tweak it because of the new strands. 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.079 Had they tested the tweet vaccine now they have not. 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.880 They're going to tweak it and inject your ass with it, 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.200 and you're gonna come to work with a third arm 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.280 in two eyes that looked the other way. No, I'm 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.400 not listen. As long as for our as comfortable we're 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.680 taking it. That's all that matters. That's all that matters.

Okay, I don't 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:13.760 know if I want to be. No testing method. We're 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:17.280 gonna tweak you guys know over I'd say a third 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:22.120 of the population just about the vaccine. That's great, that's 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:26.160 so great. I hope that by next year these people 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:33.480 are still normal and healthy. Speed all right, sou solo. 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.760 We did have get get good news because you told 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.360 me last week I touched on it. I said, you 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.079 spoke to your mom. Yes, very quick updates on give 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:45.319 you'll very quick update on what's going on with the genocide. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.080 Let's be very clear, it is a genocide happening Integrae, Ethiopia, 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.800 which is the northern region of Ethiopia where my family 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.079 is from, where my mother currently lives. Um, So what 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.600 has been happening. It was about a hundred days there 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.000 was absolutely no power. There was a communication blackout. These 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.560 people could not work, could not get medical attention, They 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.600 could not go to the grocery stores, couldn't access their 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.160 money to the bank. Let me stop saying couldn't. They 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.360 still cannot, Okay, but it was. It was a hundred 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.760 days of absolutely no communication with my mom whatsoever. No Facebook, 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:20.360 no text messages, no emails, no phone calls, no none 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.320 of that. Um. So, I had absolutely no idea if 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.560 she was still in her town. I had no idea 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.600 that she had walked hundreds of miles to Sudan as 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.480 a refugee. I didn't know she was dead or alive. 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.880 And by the grace of God, by the grace of 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.960 the ancestors who kept her this entire time, my mom, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.880 as of and I really hate to to talk like this, 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:48.560 but as of last week, is alive and well. Um. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.200 I did hear that the power and the communication has 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.480 been shut back off in some areas of the region. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.280 I have not spoken to my mom for the past 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.920 three or four days at this point, so I'm concerned, 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:05.040 but that the blackout maybe back in effect in her area. 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.760 But um, it was a big relief to talk to 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.480 her and to know that. Um, you know she she 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.240 my mom has always been a person that prepared for 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.240 the worst. Um, she's never kept all of her money 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.600 in the bank. She's never you know, she she's just 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.400 always made sure to have a stash of whether it 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.960 was food supplies. And I never understood going up why 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.440 my mom was like this, and you know, it really 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.880 didn't come to it really didn't make sense until this time. 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.280 I have to remember that, you know, my mom also 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:42.000 survived a famine, you know, as a child. So, UM, 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.520 the warm tap, right is still very serious. We still 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.640 need attention. So please you guys. I've been seeing y'all. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.840 Y'all have been deeming me. Um, you guys have been 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.000 sending me articles, you guys, tagging and stuff.

I know it sounds crazy, 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.360 but tweeting actually does get a lot of attention. Um. 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.840 The proper people and the proper positions of power really 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.320 do get to see those things if we can make 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.840 it trending. UM, So just DM me and underscores too. 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.240 Solo s U s O l O. It's the same 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.160 on Twitter, and um, I can direct you to some 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.760 websites that I actually already have like prefixed tweets for you. 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.840 That way you don't have to worry about if you're 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.760 telling something, if you're telling the right story, or if 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.520 you're using the right hashtags. It's already done, just copy 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.320 and paste. Um. But there are still thousands of people 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.400 dying daily, So I just want to say that, you know, 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.000 if black lives matter, they really have to matter everywhere. 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.280 So please just take a moment to tweet about the 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.280 genocide happening in tig Ethiopia, and continue to pray for Ethiopia. 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.040 And again I appreciate y'all do not take life for granted. Literally, 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:55.000 people are dropping life flies. So hopefully next week there 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.560 will be um more great news. Hopefully I would have 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:01.680 spoken to my mother again and hopefully we can end 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.000 end this genocide.

What are you doing out here in 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.639 the streets that got your ass on the Baller Alert 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:09.040 Show podcast? Um, you know we just did, uh, we 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.720 just did a scholarship tour just recently a few weeks ago, 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.160 where we we went to about five to seven different 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:20.200 cities and you know, personally handed out scholarships to attend 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:24.560 were actually eleven different HBC Unit HBCU students around the 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:29.600 country work. I mean, you know, let me tell you 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.240 Black History Month. Okay, this is black people loving on 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:36.120 black people. Of course you're being a former more House 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.080 College student, you know, it gives a little spice because 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.680 you know we are here in Atlanta, so we under 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.680 a little extra credit, little extra flavor for for that 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.640 more House College. Now, how did you determine like where 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:55.879 these college uh scholarships were going? I mean, so you know, 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:57.720 everything that's been going on in the world over the 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.719 last twelve months with the Black Lives Matter more mint um, 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.880 I went to an HBCU hbc myself, and I think 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.600 HBCUs are unique and what they offered, just from my 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:12.240 own experience, I wanted it to be catered specifically specifically 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.000 to h b c US. Now, you know, this is 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.080 the first one we've ever did. I'm not you know, 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.680 that's that's not me saying that. You know, later down 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.320 the road or years from now, we may expand it, 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:28.200 you know amongks other college institutions outside of hbc US 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.879 as well. But you know, the first one specifically for 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:37.400 HBCU students. So I had to pay how much continue 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.520 to pay how muche to hbc S. Okay, I think 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.720 it is so important that not only we continue to 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.240 show support to hbc U s, but that we do 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.920 that even when we leave Okay, Now I didn't go 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.600 to HBCU, but I'm gonna say we because I feel 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.639 like like I'm a part of the team. Okay, definitely. 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.440 So what's what's in your near future or what what 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:04.240 else do you plan to do to help HBCUs. For me, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:05.840 I was, you know, I want to get to a 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:07.840 point where you know, I can do with Robert A. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.880 Smith did for more House just recently, where you paid 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.920 all the student loans off for you know, all of 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:18.240 the graduates. I think it was foren which was you know, 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:24.200 huge major. But you know, as of right now, you 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.920 know we we actually just made the decision to go 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.320 go ahead and pay it forward and you know, do 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:33.239 this again for next year. So you know that gives uh, 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.600 you know, even more students opportunity to apply and you know, 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.560 be granted a scholarship through our foundation. Now, tell me 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.600 how happy did it make you to be able to 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.960 be a part of something so strong and so motivating. 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:48.440 I mean, if somebody would have gave you some me 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:52.080 it would have been like if somebody has tell you 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.639 to you're you're you are a young man doing this. 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.480 No for sure, I'm you know, I'm I'm gonna be honest, 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.480 I've you know, I've had a lot of things make me, 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:02.840 you know, make me feel good and make me, make 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.080 me happy. I've been you know, I've been blessed financially 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.439 over the last years to being able to buy myself 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:12.280 certain things and do certain things for my family. But 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:14.879 you know, it's it's it's a lifer. It's a little different, 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.480 Like I think, it's different tiers. Like one one you're 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.359 able to do for yourself. Second phase you're able to 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.399 do for like your family and the people that you know. 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.200 And then that her phase, it's like you you're able 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.359 to do stuff for people that you don't know, um, 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.800 you know, And I think that that that's probably been 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.680 the best feeling I've ever experienced, like being able to 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:39.040 you know, impact and affect people personally that I've never 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:43.320 I've never met before. And a real quick right, what 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:45.800 is it that you do? I know you're young, Like 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:49.159 you said, you you've done so much. Uh can you 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:54.280 explain to people what you do exactly? What's your job description? Sir? No? Right, So, 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.080 so I run in the run an investment group. So 0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:00.320 a few years ago, me and uh few of my 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.600 college friends we got we got acclimated with an educational 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:09.480 platform called Iron Academy, and basically, you know, they help us, 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.520 they help us learn how to actually invest in the 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:16.280 foreign exchange market, the cryptocurrency market, um as well as 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.520 other financial markets as well. So you know, we built 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:24.760 a massive group over the last few years of seventy thousand, 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:28.520 seventy thousand plush people like we have. We have organizations 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:32.800 and you know, multiple countries now, and you know, outside 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.879 of that, I've I'm also an investor. So a lot 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.760 of the money, you know, you know, you can see 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.200 in we we've been in a pendent. We were still 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.520 in a pandemic, and you know, people people don't want 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.119 to use paper money. A lot of things are happening digitally. 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:50.159 Like even the other days, I didn't even know you 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:52.280 can tap your credit card. You don't even gotta stick 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:54.240 it in, you gotta swipe it. You can literally type, 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.399 you can just tap. I just I just realized that 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:00.879 like a few days ago. So a lot of you know, 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:03.159 a lot of different things are happening digitally, which is 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:08.199 making you know, the price of cryptocurrencies skyrocket up, you know, tremendously. 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:13.000 Financially was my my biggest year and the bulk of 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:17.920 my income came from, you know, investing in cryptocurrency. So 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.560 by the end of the year or closer than the year, 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:24.280 that's when I made the decision. It's like, wow, you know, financially, 0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:27.040 I'm in a position to where I can, you know, 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:29.440 not only help myself or my family, but I can 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.800 directly help, you know, even the people that I don't know, 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:37.320 you said cryptocurrency. Could you touch on this dodge coin, 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:42.800 uh frenzy that I see people were talking about talking 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:47.240 to it? Yeah, is it a long haul play? I don't. 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:48.840 I don't. I don't think it's a long haul play 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:52.200 at all. Me personally, um, you know, And that's just 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:55.880
