Good evening, thank you for listening to weda culture at a podcast, which are host our room. We got.

1:00

Here and we got in the building.

1:08

All right. Um, so today we're doing a totally different, um, but it's not really out of the ordinary, because as likes to say this isn't a show about the culture.

1:21

Um, so I don't know if we'll get some sports in, but, um.

1:25

Just a real, um, we've got to have a real last conversation just about.

1:30

You know, the crab and numbers mentality,

1:33

and just some other things related to the whole crab and umbrella mentality just moving but people for because that's when you move black people for,

1:45

you're moving the culture for it.

1:48

So. 1 of the things before I yield the floor is something that I learned when I went to Alabama State University in history. Um.

1:58

In every societal culture or ethnic group.

2:03

You have these things called for institutions um.

2:07

And those institutions is family religion.

2:12

Education and government, and those things are.

2:16

Important it keeps everything going on and it's pretty much like the government, but you have your family, which is yourself and your mother father, you have your religion. So if you're a Christian, you have that obviously education and your government. Um.

2:30

Those things are, what.

2:34

Pretty much we have, you know, to decipher in regards to our kosher.

2:41

Everything and with each thing,

2:44

there's a crap in the barrel thing that is associated that obviously family is the biggest 1,

2:51

because a lot of times we struggle with family,

2:53

whether is, we're doing this that we're doing that.

2:57

Um, we talk about obviously religion there's definitely a lot of.

3:01

Pushback religion when it comes to doing certain things are trying to live up to certain things that you believe in because,

3:10

and that you're held back because of your religious beliefs,

3:13

or your family's religious beliefs and then obviously,

3:16

education education.

3:19

It has its own way because of the simple fact that.

3:22

If you don't have a certain type of education people, I'll look that differently. So, for example, if.

3:29

I have a high school diploma, but I know somebody who has a G. D.

3:33

Even though it's technically equivalently the same people will shoot on the person who has a GD,

3:39

especially in the black community, and you can even go even further with education and government not necessarily,

3:47

but that kind of ties into education. So, today we're just going to just have a real conversation about.

3:55

You know, how do we, I guess in the crab and the bird mentality?

4:00

Um, we may, like I said, we may get some sports in at the end but the reason why I came to,

4:07

uh, brought this up to the game is,

4:10

um, I was thinking, I mean, my wife was just talking about,

4:13

um, you know, that she because she just got her master's degree and pretty much.

4:18

You know, I worked.

4:21

And I may not tell her that I did not want her to work because I had been in school as well. I've been to Georgia state, and I went to Alabama state.

4:31

And I know how hard it is to work and.

4:35

Take classes like you have to you for me, I just I just can't do it. So I decided because of just my experiences that.

4:45

I wanted her to basically just worry about school. Don't worry about none knows if you want to work on you, but you don't have to. And it wasn't easy.

4:55

Don't get me wrong, but I feel like it paid off because she was able to just focus on school.

5:02

And there who has been people in her life that has basically said.

5:09

You know, you need to go to work, you notice then the 3rd.

5:12

Because I went to work or just various reasons and.

5:16

I thought about that, and I was like, why do African Americans in general? I'm pretty and I'm pretty it may be in other races, but this is where the culture we're talking about, our culture.

5:26

Why do we, as a people like to put our trauma onto somebody else trauma and we celebrate trauma meaning like.

5:35

We want our kids to go through the same thing that.

5:39

You know, that we had to go through and I think that's a huge problem. And I feel like that's a product or the crab and umbrella mentality is because of the fact that.

5:48

If I had to do something, you need to do it too, but the whole.

5:53

The whole point of life is you become successful, so your kids don't have to be had to go through the same situation. So that's just my thoughts on that.

6:04

Um, and I'm gonna open up the floor so I'm gonna just I just to get the ball rolling. Um, and whoever want to go 1st, I'm probably is doing a DJ, um, cause I know you've been talking about this a lot.

6:15

What do you think about, I guess, a celebrating trauma or do you think that's a thing? Or do you not think it's the thing? Like what's your overall thoughts?

6:24

I don't think that it's a trauma thing. Um.

6:32

Somewhat, the way I see is good in some way. I see.

6:36

Like, it's better, um, the.

6:41

The good thing about it, like, I mean.

6:45

South Carolina.

6:50

Um, I mean, I had that used to tell me why.

6:54

Yeah, this thing for you. Yeah what else?

6:59

Let you try and.

7:03

Why don't you know that it's not for you based up to it? The same for you. They, they haven't been.

7:11

It's like, I haven't been through those. I have been through those trials and tribulations.

7:17

But as as a young person.

7:21

It's always in your mind, right?

7:25

You don't they don't know what they're talking about. Like, I got this.

7:28

Or whatever like that and then.

7:32

Um, once you do it, it's like, then they were right.

7:37

But now it's to the point in society that.

7:41

I mean, do you is different now? They so.

7:46

I mean, my trials and tribulations is not going to be yours, but, I mean.

7:53

Is up to is up to you when, I mean.

7:56

Like we said on many other.

7:59

We don't have.

8:03

The, the idea type.

8:07

You don't have those type of demos that.

8:10

Actually, we're.

8:14

Older age and was out here speaking winter or true.

8:20

So, um.

8:23

So, I mean, it's not that, and then.

8:28

But also, the bad part about it is that me.

8:33

You could see here and.

8:36

Is plenty of times that our culture we don't uplift another when someone is actually doing.

8:44

You don't never uplift and then.

8:48

We don't never promote that's 1 key thing.

8:53

We don't promote at all when someone is doing good.

8:58

But the minute someone is going bad, we quickly social media and batch.

9:04

Bye yeah, I already knew he wasn't going to be good.

9:08

He, he wasn't.

9:11

He didn't have any anyway. So, let me 1st, it's.

9:16

It's kind of how can I see.

9:23

It's, it's kind of f*** up because.

9:27

By in our culture, we quick and bring each other.

9:31

We're always we can bring each other there.

9:34

And that's what the, from a culture staff.

9:39

Because from the whole.

9:44

We, we got our rights and everything like that. Like yeah, people did all that.

9:51

So, we could become it comes together.

9:56

And B as 1, but.

9:59

Year by year, just looking at our culture. This is just slipping like.

10:04

Whatever you can say, you say our ancestors did as our ancestors did this.

10:10

But from the standpoint of the keys nowadays.

10:16

The answer is the main goal do s*** because.

10:20

We're not 1 or the people, and it's hard to get.

10:25

To be 1 as a people, because we're all in different category.

10:30

We are all not to say, and we're all not fighting for the same thing.

10:36

So, it's kind of hard to.

10:39

Say culture when.

10:42

We don't really have to be honest, cause.

10:47

For our people, they were fighting.

10:50

To get out of slavery, they were fighting for equal rights.

10:56

Fight for all this the right to vote.

11:00

The women's rights and stuff like that.

11:03

And they came together as 1.

11:06

They came together as 1, so so.

11:11

I mean, within 5.

11:14

Or equality and.

11:18

I mean, they were all is 140 quality.

11:22

But now that we got equality somewhat.

11:27

Not lost they all the way, but now that we got equality somewhat.

11:32

Hey, everybody for myself.

11:36

And that's just how I see it like.

11:40

It's hard to say, 1 thing, because.

11:44

I, I can see here.

11:47

And me, well, us as a whole.

11:52

When we to coach them, we support each of the business we support black businesses.

11:57

Right. We shut out everybody that got businesses that.

12:01

Even that are thinking about promote it and.

12:05

We're trying to get to the point that we can have just promote black businesses and everything for.

12:13

This podcast and everything like that. I mean, we're trying to come together and bring things together like that.

12:19

But outside of that.

12:22

Where else are you going to get it from? Get what I'm saying like.

12:28

Somebody is like, oh, well, I know somebody I got a business like that too.

12:34

So now, HR to steal this person is, and is is not, we're trying to steal each other's businesses is money out here for everybody.

12:43

Get what I'm saying to each his own, right?

12:47

Rashad clean a solution. Okay cool.

12:51

He got cleaner solutions then he went to volunteer.

12:56

Get what I'm saying, but if I'm out here saying I'm cutting grass.

13:01

Oh, s***, I'm going to hey, I'm not going to promote here.

13:04

Well, I'm not going to promote him cause from.

13:08

From what I understand, he live in a totally different location from me.

13:13

He, he, he's not in my area.

13:17

What I'm saying, so I still can make my money.

13:21

And he can make his money and the people that he knows.

13:25

Are different from the people that I know. So, at the end of the day, it's called network.

13:32

And that's the thing that people don't understand people don't understand what networking is.

13:39

People are quick to oh, step on your shoes.

13:42

Don't step on my toes. Don't don't try to take away my money.

13:46

But is money out here is way more money out here.

13:52

and then go on what it is it's not stepping on my toes i can talk to russia and be like yo

13:59

I got this I'm about this bingo and come up with this thing.

14:04

Hi, I'm about to come up with as long as I got this going on.

14:07

I got that going on, but, um.

14:11

He might do now on him, he might be like, well, s*** I might know some people.

14:16

I might know some people that way that shoot if I can't get to him, maybe you could get to him.

14:21

That can be your clients and I can be like, well, shoot I know a couple of people where you at.

14:28

Those can, I can hit them up and try to network.

14:31

With them, they get you to do that. So, is this thing is this word card networking.

14:38

But to us, we don't network.

14:41

To step on people's toes.

14:45

Yeah, let me let me get you in. Let me get you in here because I think like, I was talking about well, I was talking about the whole institutional thing. How.

14:55

In every type of institution that you have, you can talk about.

14:59

You know, the, the support that you give versus a non support, I can honestly can guarantee IJ that the most of the support that you get about, you know, with sharing your business is from strangers.

15:11

So, I talk about that and just talk about, like, your perspective on this. So subject.

15:19

Well, I do get a lot of support from my surrounding team being you J.

15:25

Erica, I'm Wendy.

15:28

Of course, you know, um.

15:32

Can you remember you gave me so, um.

15:35

I do get the support, um, but, yes, uh, uh, strangers do support to.

15:40

Um, it is hard in that aspect, and I think it's just because of what we are talking about the mentality and, of course, people knowing people that do, uh, some of the same things that, uh, you do.

15:53

And to talk more about the crowd and environment Sally, the, I think Beth was keeping 1 of the things 1 of the big things that keeping our culture down.

16:03

Because when you look at everybody else, as a people, like.

16:09

Some of these, uh, uh, ends and, uh, you know, different ethnicities that run, uh, gas stations and stuff. You see.

17:25

Um, you might not be feeling how you feeling today or whatever like that, but it's just like, people won't even extend their hand and help you when they can. Sometimes even when you don't have your hand extended like that, like, begging for help, like, but.

17:39

somebody can see that you need it and that's another thing about these other ethnicities when they see someone trying they they kind of step in and help

18:05

Thanks from a couple of different aspects and, um.

18:09

Even in the craziest situations, when you think that we will band up and stand together.

18:16

It's, it's always those 34 people that say what I just said that she didn't got nothing to do with me. I'm at my, my business. You know what I'm saying when these situations are, uh.

18:28

Vital, you know what I'm saying, that we stand together and we stand for something to fall for anything, but as a people, we don't see it like that. And that's why we can never come together but.

18:39

If we would ever think like that, if we would everything and come together like that, we would overthrow anything that that's in our way. You know what I'm saying? Like, right. Even right now.

18:50

With with everything that's going on in the world, and if we actually stood together with each other.

18:56

We can make a lot of change, but it's, it's so many anchor rocky sees and so many people off of towns and, you know, I'm not trying to say like that on the podcast but there's so many people that get in a good position. If we get.

19:11

Where they came from, that's that's how I'm going to say that I'm not going to say nothing about it, any skin color or anything like that. They just forgot what it came from and.

19:20

The other ethnicities that you see that make it, they never forget their people. They never can get where they came from. They always go back and take care of them. You know what I'm saying?

19:30

Um, but I wanted to touch on another thing that you said about.

19:34

You know, uh, parents or, you know, adults.

19:39

Like, struggling their whole lives, and then they're getting into a position and they don't really put.

19:46

you know they don't really take care of their kids that they let their kids do the same thing that they went through because you know that's the stigma is like that's what people say right like

19:57

Um, if we baby them, or if we give them everything that either they're not going to be successful or, you know, something, they're, they're not gonna appreciate it.

20:06

Um, everything that's give it to them. So eventually it's gonna not work out for them in a, in a sense.

20:14

But I think that everybody, like, has a certain way of doing something, but if you do it the right way, I don't think it will fall back like that. Because I see a lot of people who have, I think, but you spoke on this the other day, the support systems. You know what I'm saying?

20:28

Like, you have the support system and you can see that. They work like, you see that. Jerry had a support system.

20:34

And you see where she mastered it, you know, like, you have people that have these people that stand, not saying that we were talking about buying a car for your 16 year old or, you know what, I'm saying, buying the house for nomad.

20:48

No, we just say in assisting them and helping them throughout the process, because a lot of a struggle and then we can't go to school like, but he said so it's like what he was trying to go to school and go to work. And he said, he couldn't do that.

21:01

That's like, at least 75% of a, you know, young people juggle these type of things for a little while and never finished. You know what I'm saying? So, I think that everybody needs help. We all have to put our hand in some which way I understand that.

21:15

We feel like, you know, assisting and helping people is going to hinder them or crippled them in the long run. But, um, you know, everybody's not the same.

21:26

We came base previous things off of everything and I think that's a big thing also, man. So if we can.

21:35

Just to summarize it, man, if we can just help each other out, man, when we can I understand that. Everybody.

21:42

They need to be helped out on this, the extent that you can't help everybody, but the people you can is kind of like.

21:49

Uh, each 1, each 1 reach 1, you know what I'm saying if you can help somebody out if, you know, some type of information, if you see somebody struggling, say something, you know what I'm saying, send them a message because it's hard out here.

22:02

You know what I'm saying, in the words, the parents hours hard out here, for, you know what I'm saying, we try to get your money for the range. You gave me like, it's hard.

22:09

So, if you know something that you can tell somebody,

22:12

if, you know, some type of knowledge that you can give them the,

22:14

uh, make it a little easier no, man, do that like,

22:17

as a, as the people, like, that's not giving them the money,

22:21

you know, saying, that's not, you know, saying hindering them in any way that's giving them knowledge.

22:25

So they can make it to the next platform and that's all. We're all trying to do, you know, saying so let's help each other get there. And I believe that if we are, uh, like, Ah, you know, saying a little bit, then we'll see a little bit of change.

22:41

Yeah. And I want to speak on that because there's a lot that you said. So, I'm going to just type my phone real quick at the same time. 1 of the things that.

22:50

And I would just be honest and I know we have some people who listen to, who know me. And obviously I know them. So, I'm talking about family.

23:00

But when I was coming up, there was a lot of things that I shared that people was encouraging me to do such as, you know, do this, that.

23:10

And while I listen, I can honestly say.

23:15

I'm proud of my growth because I did it the way that I wanted to do it. Meaning like, I didn't listen to nobody.

23:21

I did everything my way out so the chances.

23:25

Um, but I don't think I actually felt anything like, for example, people told me not to go to Alabama State University, because it was out of state.

23:35

It costs a lot of money, and even I didn't finish. I don't regret going to Alabama state. It was the best thing that ever happened to me, because I remember it. I made it.

23:45

So, is when I was younger or whatever, or, you know, our grandmother or even my mom, or, you know, people style is closely, it was a dream of mine to go to school out of state. Like, I always wanted to go to college.

23:57

But I never wanted to go to school and say, even I know you wanted to go to University of Georgia just because I always wanted to get away and.

24:05

I got the opportunity, I got it set in Alabama state. Shut out to Alabama state.

24:09

Uh, and I went there, but 1 of the things that Ajay that you said, it was, um, about how.

24:17

Uh, essentially, I'm trying to get my, I'm trying to think on the fly, but basically you were saying how, uh, you know, these kids these days, these parents tell many things, but they don't listen.

24:28

And the reason why is basically what I just said, we don't.

24:33

Oh, all way of doing things are good like to.

24:39

Millennials, and specifically 90 s, babies like, we don't give a f*** what you gotta say what you did, how you got to it because we're going to do that s*** our way.

24:49

And I remember having a conversation with Jerry about.

24:53

Just accomplishing the things that we want to do, and this, this was in the family institution as far as in the religious institution.

25:02

A lot of our parents and grandparents wanting us to do things that were safe.

25:08

For example, I can post.

25:12

I just started my new business on Facebook.

25:16

And you'll get, like, 2 or 3 likes, you know, people say, congratulations, Danny really invest in into what you're saying. But I can literally go post. Does he got a job at mcdonald's?

25:25

and people will be like yeah congratulations who like that's a big accomplishment

25:30

And while we crack jokes about, you know, folks, people working at mcdonald's and stuff like this, then the 3rd, I have to say, I have to step back and realize that.

25:39

With the previous generations just getting the job was the, the s*** because got to look at the top here. A lot of our grandparents coming from segregation like.

25:49

Me and H, his grandmother was s.

25:52

Was born doing segregation, and for the most part, our most of our parents, including my mom was born during segregation. My mom was 10, I think 9 or 10 when Martin Luther King was killed.

26:05

So that's just to put it into perspective. But now it's like, we're now moving on, we're, we're changing the narrative, but.

26:15

The problem is, we need to get the older generations to come with us.

26:20

What I mean, by that is like, and this is why I say it's trauma.

26:25

A lot of times, a lot of black people and I'm and I'm just like I said, I'm only speaking for our culture a lot of times when we turns 18.

26:35

The 1st thing some of my parents we like is, oh, you got to get the f*** about it. Here you grow. Now. Bye.

26:41

Do you know how negatively that a fix a child.

26:46

You telling them to get get a place to stay.

26:49

What what is what type of education do they have?

26:53

What type of credit score do they have.

26:56

You're setting your kids up for failure.

26:59

But we don't think we think, like you said, we think that.

27:04

That's tough love they need that note. What they need is support and structure. Meaning like.

27:11

If I send my kids to.

27:14

Okay, my kid graduate high school he don't know what he wants to do.

27:18

i'm not going to automatically kick my child out now we are going to talk about the things that you need to do

27:24

but why that's the why why would i put the worst thing of the world

27:28

On him, because that's 1 of the things we was going to talk about now.

27:31

Like, we, I shared a video to IJ and the about.

27:36

Does that you were saying that.

27:39

His daughter's apartments was going for, like, 1500 dollars with some basic apartments somewhere in Atlanta.

27:48

And it's so hard to get an apartment. You got to have 3 times the rent just to even qualify. You have to have a decent credit score.

27:54

So, why would you kick your keys out and, like, what they're what they're going to do so.

27:58

My point is the reason why there is such a disconnect while we don't listen and why it is why we feel like, because we feel as younger folks and I'm the youngest like, I'm.

28:10

2008, with about the turn 29, we don't trust the all the folks, because we don't we think they, they just don't get it.

28:17

But we think that honestly that at the end of the day.

28:20

y'all have your way like i think that's cool but we don't do shit differently if you look at things such as going to counseling there are certain older adults who think going to counseling and steal for white people

28:33

that's negative we still have people who think that

28:36

You shouldn't do this. Are you sending to that? Because you should go to you should go to church and you should do this and that. But that's negatively affecting people like, and.

28:45

Does that reality is we have been playing it safe for so long that is not time for us to change that narrative.

28:53

Like, that's why I'm so proud of BJ for doing something that's out of the box. You're not planning to save.

28:59

Because plan is safe will be, like, not trying to put your business that they use work in the warehouse. Like, most people would think that's a great job.

29:06

But that's just like, crazy enough. Like, right now. Well, I've made 17 dollars an hour before to me. That's minimum wage right now. That's not a good job. If you can't.

29:16

If you can't sustain and put yourself down and go live wherever you want to, or at least majority of where you want to, then you're not making enough money. So, I I mean, coming back to you, like.

29:28

Well, pretty much based off what I say, like, what is it going to do to make the changes just like your opinions are pretty much what we've just been saying. So far.

29:38

So, I agree to what you was saying, right?

29:42

The whole day, but, um, I agree with both of them.

29:47

U. A. E. and, uh, what I can say is.

29:52

By to each, his own like, we don't we don't teach our kids about credit.

29:57

We don't know about, to be honest with you.

30:01

And we don't teach each other about credit.

30:04

I mean, the way how we learn about credit, he's.

30:08

Whenever you go to apply for something and you get rejected, you'd be why.

30:14

And it's like, oh, well, because your credit score.

30:18

Is low and that's the thing. We don't teach each other about credit.

30:23

The crazy thing is, like, we'll go and put s*** in our queue main.

30:28

And then we will forget that we them.

30:32

Was like f*** Bill and paying that s*** and then.

30:37

When your kids go to apply for the same D*** bill or whatever it is.

30:44

Hey, Katie get it and it's like, well, why I can't get it.

30:49

Oh, well you had a bill back in.

30:53

2003, s**.

30:56

I was born in 2000, so how the hell, I can get a bill in my name.

31:04

Yeah, when I was there, so and that's that's what that's what we failed to realize. We put out.

31:11

We down for our kids just a week and have s*** and then.

31:16

When we, when we can't keep up with it or whatever like that.

31:21

Oh, it just goes in collections or whatever like that and then.

31:25

It's to the point that when it's time for your kid.

31:28

Get the same thing and.

31:31

It is what it is, but.

31:35

We'll be quick. Oh, s**.

31:38

Let me be able to get a credit card and then my kid actually, for some.

31:43

I see, uh, you are you talking about my credit?

31:46

that's what it is but the thing that people don't understand is

31:51

Like.

31:55

I had somebody that talked to me to teach me.

31:58

that yeah i mean once my kids do have a certain age

32:02

Guess what I'm gonna do, we'll put them underneath my credit card.

32:06

Did you want to know why? If my credit score.

32:10

Is a said money and.

32:14

When it's time for them, if I can keep my score and even increase my score.

32:21

over a seven hundred people don't understand that if your kids are underneath your credit card

32:27

Yes, what when they, when they go to get their car.

32:31

Or whatever like that, it, she goes on their back.

32:37

Because they haven't, even though they only 1617.

32:41

But you look like, well, s*** well, you're 12.

32:45

i'm going to go ahead and put you on my credit card

32:49

guess what that makes it look like they had credit

32:54

in their name and it was

32:57

It's in good standing. And is that a 700.

33:01

so guess what people don't want to fuck with them people want to give them a lower apr

33:07

Because it looks like they've been they was pinging things on time.

33:11

People don't understand it. Get what I'm saying.

33:16

That's the 1st, the thing about it, like the whole thing.

33:20

We all trained the whole crap mentality.

33:24

Is real, but too, like I was saying, on the last part, like.

33:29

We don't, it's basically like, what.

33:34

Each 1 teach 1 reach 1, right?

33:38

In order for me to feel better, I got to teach somebody else.

33:46

and since we put in slight businesses out there

33:50

I'll go ahead and say it, I got a 16 year old step daughter.

33:55

Well, technically I got list 12 hours before she turned 16.

34:00

But she's about to be 16.

34:04

She's a sophomore, but she's to a point.

34:08

That she's graduating early and it's not there.

34:14

Like, I told her, I gave her tough.

34:17

But she knows I love if she needs me, I'm here.

34:22

That's what it is, but, I mean, when she says she wants the.

34:28

She's still in the decision phase of.

34:31

If she wants to graduated in December.

34:34

Because she can, because she has, she's going to have all her credit.

34:39

so she's in the

34:42

Mental state of trying to understand that she wants to.

34:47

finish in december or finishing may when everything is done

34:53

So, I mean, to me, my.

34:58

I think where some people don't understand.

35:02

But some people fail to say is that.

35:05

How, but he said, you're 18.

35:08

I got to do s*** for you, you're at the house, you're grown.

35:13

Yeah, that is a, that is a statement that I, I say.

35:16

She's not, she's not even 18.

35:20

Well, she's about to be out there because.

35:23

At the end of the day, she always know she could come back home.

35:27

Yeah, what I'm saying, that's never the door is never going to be coached.

35:32

Well, yeah, the thing about it is, I want her to go out there.

35:37

And see what the world is, because I can see here.

35:41

And I could tell her look at me, look at how we struggled.

35:45

You know what I'm saying? But until you actually get out there, you have to really.

35:51

Figure out these bills and stuff like that.

35:55

You're never going to understand what I'm saying.

35:59

Yeah, cause I was gonna say this I'm sorry, let me add this because my me and Jerry and talk about this all the time.

36:08

Just because you decided you, and whoever your parents is decided to f***, and have us a nut and do all this s*** that's not my fault. You didn't I didn't ask to be here. That's what we always say that.

36:20

So, why do I have to suffer from your, you know, whatever whether it was you Mary, you know, it was from, you know, being married to just a 1 night drunk in the same guy, and y'all f*** or whatever. You brought me to this earth.

36:34

So, why do I have to punish for your f***? Whatever even whether there's a mistake or not right?

36:39

So, because and I said, like I said, I just didn't want to lose my point. I'm going to give you back to Florida, but.

36:46

and it wasn't a mistake because when you

36:50

When you decided to do it, you went into that thing with flow intentions.

36:54

so yeah

36:58

You can't see oh, man, it's showing you was a mistake. No, you wasn't.

37:04

So, when I decided to do that at, I went into it full fledged, I wanted to nasty, nasty.

37:11

So, yeah, hey, hey, no mistake about it.

37:15

Hey, when you bought the go, do what you do.

37:19

You only about the go incident thing and be like, oh, yeah. I'm about to give her this mistake.

37:24

anybody give nobody was going to let you go

37:30

Yeah, it is lingo, but now nobody is a mistake like.

37:34

Even though I consider myself a mistake cause that's the story for another day. But, um.

37:39

But not really 1 of the things that I.

37:43

We always talk about is going to college, right?

37:47

And I think it's just something because this is something that a lot of people.

37:51

Especially the outage and generation may not know about. And I am thankful for your step daughter. I don't know if we're gonna name her, but.

38:00

Um, we and my, uh, Jerry has been talking to her about.

38:04

You know, colleges or whatever you want to do post secondary option that was 1 of the things that.

38:08

You know, I learned about when we went to school, but the funny thing is and this is not trying to put nobody down, but like.

38:16

Having them helping your opinion is understand how to do a fast food.

38:21

Is the funny is slash stressful.

38:25

Slash you just want to just rip your hair out type s*** because.

38:29

Like, God bless my mom, she has done a better because she went to college, but I know it fast was different than what it was back. Then. Um.

38:39

But she thought that she owed money or whatever, and she had to pay. No, I just need because I think until you get to 24.

38:46

You got to put your parents tax information on the fast. But and for those who don't know how fast it is, I figured out where to stand for. But basically, it's how you get financial aid to go to college. And especially for a lot of African Americans. Because we come from lower income, you know.

39:01

Families fast food is you need that s*** like, you, you need fast because.

39:08

Unless you, your parents can get out, like, let's just say, you go to the.

39:13

Georgia perimeter, which is now Georgia state. All right.

39:17

If you want to say, uh, I want to say 12 credits, you need to occur it is to be a full time student.

39:23

I think you did 12 or 13, you don't have to fill out 3000 dollars and give them to a shape. So if you don't have that, you got to depend on financial, late.

39:31

And a lot of parents don't understand that. She and I think that that's a problem and they say, hey.

39:38

Why would you take us through the loans? Cause? That's something that we're gonna talk about later but, I mean, that's something that we have to deal with. But like you said, hey, Jay.

39:46

We you want to your kids to understand the real world.

39:50

And that's the, that's the thing, because for me, like, because of my, I was sorry, I was glad I was homeless between.

40:00

My me being in 11st grade, it's well, great. I mean, I was on my own. I wasn't staying with my mom, Wednesday. My dad on Wednesday or any family. I was really on my own, um, up until.

40:11

Well, that's really high school graduation and when I went to college, so I went out to Alabama state. Never been there before I took a mega bus down there.

40:21

Um, cause I can't get nobody to take me down there. I was like a mega bus, and it was.

40:27

A great experience, um.

40:30

But, yeah, like, I had to grow up, I literally had to learn how to get a taxi.

40:35

So, I can get home, you know, whatever, but.

40:39

The point is like, what you're doing now.

40:42

Is what is counterproductive to what the usual is.

40:47

With families, like a lot of families, and I think our family is included with this as well is the simple fact that.

40:55

You don't get support, you know, in regards to the things that you need you have to get it out of the mud.

41:02

And while we think that getting not demoted clutch or notice, then a 3rd.

41:07

You not demoed is like, I call a traumatic experience like.

41:12

If me and my me and Jerry are getting to a point where we started to become a little bit more, have a little bit more money.

41:21

Oh, hold on 3rd, somebody said the floor roughly.

41:26

Cool. So.

41:30

Um, but, yeah, I get what you're saying, and.

41:35

I appreciate it, but, um, but, yeah, like, she's in that.

41:39

She's in a spot right now where she's.

41:43

Kind of undecided on the whole work. When do I want to graduate?

41:47

So, I mean, my add in.

41:51

I haven't fully taught with her.

41:55

Because I want her to enjoy the last.

41:58

A couple of days of, uh.

42:02

Of school or whatever like that, but she already know that.

42:06

She only has, like, a week ago a week maybe 2 weeks.

42:12

Because right after.

42:15

This little school period.

42:18

She's dual and roll so she starts school at Georgia, military college on online.

42:25

For the summer, so it like it is what it is, so.

42:31

So, her school is about to be year round.

42:36

Really because she's going to dual enrollment.

42:40

So, she can get her college credits.

42:43

Um, so but.

42:46

To to, uh, specify, like.

42:50

She, like, I want her to get a taste of what real life is.

42:55

Because we all know.

42:59

As we're growing up, like, yeah, we might have to pay a cell. Yeah.

43:06

If that, um, really, truly you really don't.

43:11

Uh, some kids don't really have to pay bills and.

43:16

I mean, if if you're fortunate, you don't have to pay to put it like that.

43:21

I don't know everybody's situation, but, um.

43:26

Like, you don't have to pay bills, or you don't have to worry about too much because.

43:32

I mean, everything is time to set up for you to focus.

43:36

What you need to focus on and, um, but.

43:40

I mean, you focused on it, but, I mean.

43:44

Nice looking girl. Nice looking boy. And they might turn you hate.

43:48

Um, so, I mean, you might get our focus, but.

43:54

At the end of the day, if we try to set it.

43:58

You try to set you up for what the best thing possible and, I mean.

44:04

All right, it all goes down to to.

44:07

Being able to listen to being able to listen and learn.

44:13

Uh, there's a lot of this, a lot of the stuff that.

44:17

A lot of stuff that you that you don't know.

44:22

Yeah, right. We always say the support system.

44:25

By a lot of a lot of stuff that I learned.

44:29

I mean, my, my family, I mean, they supported me.

44:34

And everything and every, uh.

44:37

A venture that, uh, that asset set myself to.

44:42

You're looking going into the military.

44:46

I came back me up, um, I had decided to go to college.

44:50

They were behind, so.

44:53

I had a support system as well, but.

44:57

A lot of stuff I learned from strangers.

45:00

Um, I learned from strangers and.

45:03

I mean, to me, I actually had my grandparents as well.

45:08

So, my grandparents taught me a lot, um.

45:13

Even though, even though I did, like.

45:17

Physically right in my.

45:21

Was missing it, they, they still.

45:24

A foundation, and that's the thing. Like, we gotta start making a foundation.

45:31

We always want these pop up shop.

45:34

These pop up homes or whatever like that.

45:38

That they make nowadays with God, D*** fly board. It should.

45:42

but not bill me a foundation build the foundation which which is right

45:47

I seriously get some got D*** concrete makes.

45:51

God, D*** get some water and get out there.

45:55

God, D***, even at Bishop and got them then start putting in you got D**.

46:01

Get some bricks got, em, it's the, it's the 3 little pigs. Everybody didn't want to be the day. I'm making a D*** house, but s*** the 1 that took his time to do it.

46:14

Your house still standing.

46:17

Yeah, well that's the thing. Yeah. Hmm.

46:22

So that's the thing, right? I really build a foundation right?

46:27

you me and i'm not saying he's saying got him to drill your damn he is like you damn drill so i can do that

46:34

You should I know what it is, but I don't do that.

46:39

I sit there and I give little nuggets of.

46:42

Get little nuggets, they, these s*** happy hour raising your kids are off the chicken nuggets anyway.

46:48

So.

46:52

Bye chicken nugget give them a little happy meal making smiles. S*** let them smile at the end of the day when they got them become a them.

47:03

Become an adult somewhat.

47:06

Yeah, what I'm saying. So, I mean, that's what you got to do by you and you got it.

47:11

You got to send me your heartbeat. I told you this and not.

47:16

I at the end of the day, like, you should put the little nuggets in with situation.

47:21

they're going to be like okay i remember that i remember when they told me about it

47:26

I remember this I remember that. You were right?

47:29

Yeah, what I'm saying, but at the same time you got to let your kids be free.

47:35

Because at the end of the day, this world.

47:38

We're laying on the wait what I'm saying. Time doesn't wait. So it is what it is.

47:45

but you got to have to learn or you're going to learn on the fly

47:50

Or you're going to have somebody there to mentor, you.

47:53

And give you to give you somewhat of the ins and outs of what it is.

47:58

And it's up to you to decide what you want to do it. So.

48:03

I mean, but I think that's that's where we fail at.

48:09

As a coach, like, I mean, we don't know.

48:12

We don't know what it is, and I got feel like I said earlier, like, we, we set our kids up for failure sometimes, because we do that. Oh, well, s**.

48:24

I mean, I need the water on, but I can't put it in my name because.

48:30

They, um, my parents put that in my name.

48:34

And they got a feel for them 500 dollars.

48:37

And they paid it off so now I can't get him. Well, let me put it in my kid's name and say, okay with it.

48:45

All right, so let me get back in here real quick. So we can get, uh, I just want to say, well, ejay, um, go ahead, man.

48:58

Uh, yeah, I just, I'm just going to really get in and get out real quick. Uh, yeah, we, it's just like, we gotta we got to step in and help, man.

49:07

I kind of lost where I was going to be, but I did remember that. I was gonna say, um.

49:32

Yeah, so it was, um, this lady Vega owner, she, um, she.

49:38

Got yellow fees for everybody that graduated.

49:41

This year 2022, and I think like, that's where we have to look at with our key is, like, we have to start, um, build it for the future. You know, I'm saying, that's all I wanted to say. Yeah, go ahead.

49:53

I know you get it, because that's what I was gonna pivot in. Before I do pivot. I got to announce this because I'm, I'm super excited about this s**.

50:01

um i think it's memorial day there's going to be a versus between and so make sure i check that shit out i'm just really excited about that i'm sorry about that

50:14

Oh, I'm lucky. God. D*** it a 300 K.

50:22

we've got the greatest southern time we ride and dirty but that's just story for another day but

50:27

Going back to what he's saying was saying, I think it's very dope that what she's doing, or even.

50:34

What the guy did a couple of years ago with Morehouse, like paying off student loans, like.

50:39

That is the type of s*** that we need because, like, we just say it, like.

50:45

you ain't a boston so you don't have to work for yourself like i don't care if you make seven twenty five at walmart

50:54

Or you may you make a high class salary.

50:58

With Microsoft, like, if you don't work for yourself, you're not a boss like, or and I know people get offended by that but.

51:05

That's what we need to start instill in our kids because.

51:09

W, W, like I said, the problem that we had, you know, coming up was we didn't have s***. So.

51:15

The little things that we can get, the consistency of having a job. That's that was great. That that was great.

51:21

For the 50, 60, 70 hail, even because.

51:24

I would say it's late as, like, maybe 2002, 2003, you can really survive in this world without a high school diploma. You can't really even do s*** with.

51:59

I said on the podcast before my son decided that. He wants to be a clown and go to cloud school. I'm going to support it. No matter f*** what? Because that's what he wants to do.

52:10

I may be like, Yo, what the f*** is wrong with you, but if you want to go be a client, that'd be 1, like, you know, and I think.

52:16

That's what we have to do, but at, at the end of the day, we have to also understand.

52:23

What comes with that is.

52:26

We have to put a lot of our jealousy to the side because.

52:31

A lot of times, and I've seen this so many times where.

52:35

Parents they want that that'd be cool if you get on the equal level playing field with you or, you know, everything is great, but let's you start making more money and then we'll let you start being more successful and then we'll let you start.

52:48

You know, having relationships with the, you know, like a spouse or something like that. And that's what the jealousy comes from. So, you know, like, how are we talking about.

52:57

You know, 1, better for our key education wise, financial wise.

53:02

Like, that's the whole point, that's my goal. Like, when I have and we have kids.

53:07

i don't give my goal is to make sure that my key is making more money than i did that's the that's because that means that you did a good job so

53:16

The wrap this segment basically, the whole point of this was just because.

53:23

Like you said, like, your kid, you still want your kids to come to you and be like, hey.

53:30

I need to stay here for a minute. I need to do this and I need to do that. They don't they shouldn't have to feel like they need to go.

53:36

And figure s*** out on their own, because you can't help them. So.

53:41

That's pretty much that the other thing that I wanted to discuss too, and this is kind of injunction with the whole situation with the crab and the barrel mentality.

53:52

We never really got we touched on a little bit briefly, but we didn't really talk about it, but.

53:57

2 weeks ago, like, on a Saturday, I want to say it was the 15th doesn't matter. Um.

54:04

This white supremacist do I went into a buffalo grocery store.

54:09

And shot and queue sin, black, he, he killed, uh, 10 people and, uh, some other people were injured.

54:16

And now we're in talks of getting a crime bill.

54:22

this then a third but they're the democrats are stalin on it inside the republicans so

54:30

We need, I think we need to talk about it as well. Like, so who, like, what are your thoughts on that IJ if you want to go 1st on.

54:42

I mean, it is what it is like, uh, it's it's like, so many other things that we've talked about, uh.

54:48

uh in each other's company maybe not on the podcast but the white privilege and

54:55

Everything that's gone on. I think, uh, I read that he had the word N*** rode on the guide. Um, and 1 of the videos that I think.

55:03

It was sweeping through the supermarket and he was buy 1 of the cash registers and he actually put his gun on a white person. And he said, I'm sorry and.

55:16

It took the gun off of them, moved on, you know what I'm saying? And I'm not saying that I wanted to see him slammed on his head shot or anything, but to see him just took him out. Um, so nicely.

55:29

It looked like the coast in her. He didn't have a knee on his neck. It just like.

55:34

It just speaks volumes of what we see on a daily basis and, uh.

55:39

It's crazy because I think we've become, um.

55:42

This is the time if I say that, right to the situation of what's going on. Now, we see so much like, eh, I'm not going to say every day I wake up. I see. Uh.

55:55

a situation with one of my people you know sam being mistreated and mishandled to

56:01

Here, um, you know, saying for no reason, um.

56:06

It's just becoming a thing that we see, like, when we turn the T. V on, and we watch in house a pain or or a basketball game now should just becoming, like.

56:16

we view it like on instagram it has like when there's some gory stuff or somebody shots the video is covered but now we uncover the video and we just watch it like

56:28

It's regular to us now, you know what I'm saying? So, um, I think it's terrible that.

56:34

Uh, this story was only in the news for, like, a day and a half. I think I didn't I don't even remember seeing it for more than 3 days tops. You know what I'm saying? But that it has been 1 of us that we decide to supermarket and, um.

56:48

kids and white people and injured an extra one and uh uh just

56:54

I can just imagine what the thing would have been.

56:58

Afterwards, you know, taking them in how did it grocery store.

57:03

It just would have been bad, you know what I'm saying? Like, um.

57:06

So, yeah, just to wrap it up, man, I think we've just become accustomed to.

57:12

The, uh, the normal, like the s*** that should not be happening out here is, like, no matter what you do.

57:22

It's a situation that can happen. So, grocery store you know what I'm saying? Like, people would want to make groceries, man, I think I read another story off of that. That's the 1 of the guys that 1 of the black man that was killed in inside of the shooting.

57:37

Um. He was working on the water powered, uh.

57:42

Vehicle it was a truck and, um, he was making it. How did you found it? I believe yeah. Hydrogen power. Yeah. So, it's crazy that, um, these type of things happen and people don't better than I.

57:55

but we're so quick to say something about a black man killing the black man in our community. But nobody says nothing about these mass shootings that these Caucasian people commit.

58:07

Um, and I think it's something that needs to be talked about more, because it happens a lot, you know what I'm saying? And sometimes it happens the weeks and months from each other. And that's crazy. This isn't like some grand theft auto stuff that you're seeing in real life.

58:22

You know what I'm saying? So. Yeah, yeah, yeah, facts. Um, I think the.

58:31

The crux of what you said, is that, like.

58:35

Okay, because this wasn't enough for at least brutality situation this, this wisdom, white supremacy type s*** right? Like, obviously.

58:43

That's the reason why I like what, like, our culture is so f*** up right now is because we have that sheet, but that's only like a tip of the iceberg are like, the issues that we have. Um.

58:55

but the reality because i know we talked about this we talked about this maybe like two podcasts ago about is we got to start killing each other we gotta start doing this we gotta start doing that and rightfully so

59:09

But, like, s***, like, this is just why like that s*** doesn't matter.

59:14

Because, like at the end of the day.

59:17

No matter what f*** up shoot that people got going on that man, 10 innocent lives. Like we're talking about.

59:25

grandmothers the dude that you're you're referring to ejay was a former police officer

59:31

Right he was doing he, he could sit and serve his community. Where are the people that, you know, chime in and say blue lives matter right?

1:00:00

What he did with Dylan, Ruth, did you know going into Charleston South Carolina, which is our 2nd home and went into a historical black church.

1:00:11

And killed, I think I forgot how many I think 9. yeah, the Charles tonight, he killed 9 people, but this is my thing and I'm beautiful.

1:00:21

I don't I don't want to hear nobody say oh, we forgive.

1:00:24

You know, God, want us to forgive. I'm, I'm off that s***. I really am.

1:00:31

I really am off that s*** because when is enough going to be enough?

1:00:35

When are we going to stop forgiving? These mother f*** for killing us.

1:00:39

Like, real I know we're very religious and, you know, we come from a lot of us come from religious background.

1:00:46

But I'm ready for somebody to be like, Barbara, not say we're going to start a war now like that because you already know what's going to happen.

1:00:53

But we invest and this is a sign up. We may discuss another time because we are in the fall time but.

1:01:00

It's time to get folks in office who's going to f*** fight for his men in life? Real.

1:01:06

Because I bring me in, I was talking about this yesterday, um.

1:01:12

When the Asian people got killed in Atlanta, um, and Woodstock.

1:01:18

which is a suburb like twenty minutes twenty thirty minutes north the uh northwest of of atlanta uh

1:01:25

That was an immediate call for.

1:01:28

A bill to be passed, uh, agent hate crime bill.

1:01:33

And I just want to briefly keel every.

1:01:37

Excuse that out here about while black folks can get s*** done.

1:01:41

Oh, Joe body, he's just doing the best. He can, he doesn't have a Senate or he doesn't have the house of Representatives, blah, blah, blah. A lot of people like to say that should.

1:01:49

Well, that's not true.

1:01:52

When we voted for binding, right? We put them in office in November.

1:01:57

We then put in Raphael or not, and then we put in John ASA that gave us a 50, 50 that was a 50 majority. And because of.

1:02:06

The Kamala here has been the vice president, and she's a Democrat that gave Democrats power.

1:02:11

Uh, they gave them the majority not too long ago. In 2020. we had George Florida situation. We had to be on a tailor situation.

1:02:20

We had our various situation, and we had to race our book situation that happened in the city of Atlanta.

1:02:29

Nothing has been passed. There's no, there's, there's no been no George Lloyd view. There's been no nothing. And the reason why I say.

1:02:37

can't get mad at joe body you can't get them at a kamala here is is because black people don't hold them accountable

1:02:43

Our votes literally, like, I got to realize this, and I'm like I said, I don't want to talk too long because I want to get it for Asia, but.

1:02:49

well people don't realize is that black folks put job out in an office

1:02:54

He was because you had the Iowa caucus, which.

1:02:58

People to judge 1, and then you had the New Hampshire primaries, or sudden, I forgot what it's called New Hampshire but she went to New Hampshire Bernie Sanders 1 that.

1:03:09

Joe buyer, if he did not win South Carolina, he was going to drop off the race because he was not doing good. You know, who saved Joe Biden Jim cloud burn and South Carolina and black the black folks, uh, in South Carolina. So.

1:03:21

A lot of times people say, well, you know, the agent be like, you know, this, it's not for us. It's for them.

1:03:27

So, at the end of the day, we need to start holding these mother f*** accountable because at the end of the day, we're putting them in office.

1:03:34

And I know a lot of people like to say, well, we should have forgive them. We got to trust the process. We got to do this. You've got to do that. Let me tell you something about Republicans when they want to get s*** done. They get s*** done.

1:03:46

When, uh, Trump before Trump got out of office.

1:03:50

He got sue Supreme Court justices and Amy call me Barry and I forgot the other dude.

1:03:56

But Amy call me, they got her done before his, his.

1:04:37

She's the same. Uh, sorry, I just got confused. She's the same, uh, district assigned to definitely bug and gun and J right.

1:04:46

So, I don't know if you guys are familiar with Rachel or Brooks if you're not from Atlanta, you probably won't know, but Rachel bruce's queue and the women's parking lot. Um, near downtown Atlanta.

1:04:58

And because of that, there were processed there were 2 teenagers.

1:05:02

Who was who went to Morehouse? Spelman collectively we got pulled out of a car.

1:05:07

They got 1 guy, say, well, we've got 6 and 1 had a spring risks. Those charges has got to drop because funding was decided to pass the case over to somebody else because she claimed conflict of interest.

1:05:19

The reason why we this is why I say the shooting wasn't simple. The iceberg was because of the simple fact that we have these type of problems.

1:05:28

We need folks to fight for us and we gotta, we got to stop saying, oh, we need to. We need we forgive.

1:05:35

We forgive no f*** that we need to because when we forgive these white supremacy are still killing us and they don't give a f*** if we forget them or not. So, at the end of the day, that's all. I gotta say about that. Jamie, you got it for now.

1:05:52

But, um, I agree wait.

1:05:56

D. J. said and and I agree with what you say.

1:06:03

Um, they use though.

1:06:07

Is is the.

1:06:10

Right you just said that when you go on Instagram, I mean.

1:06:15

you see them add the video or whatever it's like well

1:06:20

Let me see, because.

1:06:23

it it become the norm and

1:06:27

Which you're saying the same thing about the Republicans and everything like that, what the black people vote.

1:06:34

How bad it you got in this this thing called.

1:06:39

and even when you speak about

1:06:42

I was trying to get bills for us.

1:06:45

Hi, when it comes down to get in these bills.

1:06:49

for the asian community

1:06:53

there'll be g t q i hope i got all that right don't don't come after me don't counsel

1:07:01

Um, but when it comes down to the bills that came for now.

1:07:07

That they got, they was on these people next.

1:07:10

Constantly constantly there wasn't complacent about it.

1:07:16

And it got to the point that, like you said, in 2020, you had all these killings and everything like that. And the black lives matter movement in.

1:07:28

every every other movement we can pay the started to come about

1:07:33

But we got complacent after we after right we just replace it with.

1:07:41

It's the same thing like, we're complacent, we're looking at these videos now it's nothing new.

1:07:48

There's nothing new, and that's something that we have to get out. Our culture is being someplace.

1:07:54

Because once you can placement, that means you're okay with everything.

1:08:00

Like, it, it has to take somebody that.

1:08:04

That wants to that wants to be out of the.

1:08:08

In order to push to, to get what they want.

1:08:12

But, I mean, when you're complacent about it ain't nothing on get there.

1:08:20

So, I mean, um, with the whole.

1:08:24

The whole, I think I get what you're saying.

1:08:27

Uh, the house and everything like that yeah, he.

1:08:32

I'll let all that matters.

1:08:36

But the thing about it is the black people, we only vote when it comes down to the president.

1:08:41

those goals that

1:08:45

That election I don't want you to. Let me get. Let me say this.

1:08:50

That what I'm about to say is that election doesn't really matter.

1:08:55

And I don't want you to see here and jump on me.

1:08:59

because i said that election don't matter it does matter

1:09:03

But the mid term election is the 1 that you need to hold it.

1:09:08

This election right here when you actually voting for.

1:09:14

Majority of the people who can sit here and put change into motion.

1:09:20

And back up your present back up.

1:09:24

And take over this city, take over the house.

1:09:27

these are the make sure that

1:09:30

Do you need to go vote for? And a lot of people don't vote for him because.

1:09:35

It's not the presidential election and that's where everybody feels but realize just because.

1:09:42

That election has the presidential name to it.

1:09:46

Does it mean that the mid term election doesn't mean that.

1:09:50

Because the mid term election is the 1 that you really get in all your that D**.

1:09:56

Your judges all your judges and.

1:09:59

Board a system that we so call say is against us.

1:10:05

That is the mention that everybody.

1:10:09

Does it for so you still have the same people in.

1:10:13

Because you don't will in the mid term elections.

1:10:17

So, those same people are going to be there when it comes to the presidential election.

1:10:24

So look at your midterm elections.

1:10:28

Because those mean a lot, those elections really mean a lot.

1:10:33

the same way like right now late we got uh we got it

1:10:38

Who is it, Brian Kim and Purdue.

1:10:42

Right. You need to be going out and said it and then we got space the April.

1:10:47

well stacy abrams can't raise funds

1:10:52

Because because of the terms that they got in place.

1:10:57

but ryan can't do the raising funds because he's still a government

1:11:05

So that's the thing, like, I felt like it was weird.

1:11:09

Hey, Brian can't run for governor.

1:11:12

And he was head over the election committee.

1:11:18

that don't seem right out your head over the election committee

1:11:23

And everything over all accounts, and everybody like that, where the poles be, and everything like that.

1:11:31

Are your overnight and you're running for governor.

1:11:34

But the person you run it against, doesn't have that same.

1:11:38

Equal state that's the s*** that.

1:11:44

I'd be looking at what at the end of the day I hope.

1:11:51

That are people really understand.

1:11:55

Eh, if you want change.

1:12:00

We did that and to be honest, like.

1:12:05

Atlanta is the best black capital it is, but let's break that down. Real quick Ajay uh, real quick. Um, let's break that down because what you said is true. Um.

1:12:18

But it's at the same time, it's like, what are we going to do after that? Because.

1:12:25

Let's let's be real right um.

1:12:28

Now, for me, as I can probably tell just listen to the product is.

1:12:34

I'm very well what's going on with politics, you know, so, I don't know what's going on. Like, for me, I'm not even if they say, but that's just the story for another day. Right? Um.

1:12:45

But a lot of times people don't even know who they're voting for.

1:12:49

They don't even know, because they don't I wouldn't say they don't care. They just ignore it to not here. Right?

1:12:57

We like, for example, right we don't talk about, you know, that the conference rooms in the 2nd, right but.

1:13:05

You can get 9 out of 10 people to tell you.

1:13:09

Yo, who wants to who won the gain between the worries and American and not to Tim glide? Yeah man, the warriors, man. Hey, day 1 or you can be like, hey, Yo.

1:13:21

Who you who you think is a better player, Jordan or Brian, and mostly everybody going blind? Yeah. Man. Yeah. Cause, I'll never forget. I used to work at East Point library. I don't know why I did when I was in high school and.

1:13:36

The Finals that year was the thunder versus the heat.

1:13:42

And it was the day after the heat wanted the championship, and it was a group of men basically talking. Yeah, man, blah, blah, blah. Yeah.

1:13:51

Man, you know, Brian, he's s***, you know, saying Katie gonna get here, but no, Brian Brian again, to that go talk, you know, because I think that was as far as title.

1:14:02

That same year, John McCain, and not John McCain. Sorry Mitt Romney and Barrack Obama was, you know, going for the election. This was 2012.

1:14:14

And a lot of times those things they're talking points were generic. Oh, well, why are you running for Barack Obama? Well, you know, he's a black president. Well, you know, he's a Democrat, you know.

1:14:29

Wha, wha, what policies are you voting for Barack Obama for? And they, they can't tell you that. That's the problem that we have in our community. And that is not just a sports thing, anything that we have. That's important.

1:14:43

We gotta get better at and knowing, because we can't keep being ignorant to what's going on. Like, for example.

1:14:51

Most people would think that because, like you said, um.

1:14:58

A lot of people in this, I know sorry come all ears, right?

1:15:02

But a lot of people, you know, they root for Kamala, black girl, Magic this then the 3rd.

1:15:08

A lot of people don't know that she was a da in San Francisco and.

1:15:13

A lot of people that she locked up was the same people. That looked just like her, like, um, that's her record. This is not me making stuff up. A lot of W, we got to get better with understanding policies.

1:15:25

Why are we voting for these people other than the fact that the Democrats.

1:15:29

Or they're black or whatever, because.

1:15:32

you don't know why tim scott is a black senator in the state of south carolina who's a republican

1:15:38

A lot of moving on.

1:15:41

Yeah, Tim Scott has voted time in time again against black issues and a lot of people, but a lot of people on servers won't know that because you see a black person. You, we have to understand policy.

1:15:55

It goes with everything like.

1:15:57

for example we talked about this in school right

1:16:00

Well, we talked about it yesterday how you? It's the 1st day school.

1:16:06

So we know somebody got a brand new pair Air Force 1 that got on travel agencies. I don't know what's popular now, but whatever's popular. Now they got that on. They got some Airforce 1 and they don't even have a piece of paper to take down notes.

1:16:19

About their class, that's the type of problem that we have if we're going to be better as people. I know people are going to be like, oh, you sound like a Republican you sound like yourself. Hey, to know. But that's real.

1:16:30

If we want to get better as people, and to get the s*** that we want to get the s*** that we need.

1:16:37

We got to get better. We got to stop with the f*** fuckery, like, through.

1:16:42

But even though we don't educate and that's that's where the whole that's with is about.

1:16:51

This whole is about.

1:16:54

There's 1 word and it's.

1:16:58

educate that's the key thing

1:17:02

And to our people, we don't want to be educated because we feel like nowhere.

1:17:10

And we had a problem comes in it.

1:17:13

We know that's and that's the thing like, people will see here like you said.

1:17:20

By issue, a lot of people might have voted for Kamala because she was here.

1:17:26

Okay, cool. I mean, at the end of the day fried chicken, but this is something that goes on in all our communities and I'm pretty sure I've seen it on a local level.

1:17:42

Anytime a policy a politician only comes in a black neighborhood doing what? Election year and a lot of times they come in, they have a barbecue Jim burn who's running for this house of Representatives.

1:17:56

Has a fish fry, every, he's running for the house of Representatives, but nobody ever checks is ready to see what he's done specifically for us, but he gets a free pass and I'm and I'm about to go there and not know about the Pis some ya'll off.

1:18:11

John Lewis? Nope. Like you did a great thing. You know, he, he fought 1st.

1:18:18

But he has a, he had a horrible track record of his neighborhoods that he said he served West Atlanta.

1:18:24

On the West side of Atlanta, and his district stayed the same for years.

1:18:30

But the only time it's and you don't believe we look up, go into the archives and look up all his speeches. Tell me 1 time that you've seen some well, he actually did send to make a different story as community that he was serving.

1:18:42

We have to get we have to get out of that whole ideology of.

1:18:47

Well, you know, they're, they're gonna do something or they're black and that's good enough to know if we want to get if we want to stop s*** like that what happened in Buffalo we have to get on code. We have to get people that's going to fight for us.

1:19:01

We got to stop having a Cory bookers who is going to speak Spanish, but don't give a f*** about the black community win. Because if you look at, anytime they ask questions about.

1:19:10

Well, what do you have, what is your plan specifically for African Americans? The 1st thing they're going to bring up is minorities, or they're going to say a 1 size fits all that fits black people into their plan, but they never speak directly to African Americans.

1:19:24

So, um. So, would that mean to say, like.

1:19:29

That's that's just my whole point and he's, I don't know if you wanted to add to this.

1:19:37

Go ahead. All right. Cool. All right.

1:19:42

But just to wrap this up, man, before we get into the sports part, I forgot, man. We, we do have to be better because, like, at the end of the day, like.

1:19:49

We like, and I noticed so old school, like, yeah, we know the latest rap nancys we know who the Kardashians are. We know who the quarterback is of our team.

1:20:01

But a lot of people can't even name the attorney general of their state.

1:20:05

A lot of people know people can't name the governor. They've got their state s***. If I ask a lot of people to date.

1:20:13

Who's the governor of Atlanta? A lot of people might still say kitchen lands.

1:20:17

But the foot, yeah, yeah, I was so afraid of his job.

1:20:24

He was he was arguing what they've got their mayor of the city of Atlanta.

1:20:30

He's beefing on Twitter with the mayor.

1:20:34

of the city of atlanta but you're a governor

1:20:40

But that just supposed to start the political power that we do have in the city of Atlanta, because.

1:20:45

She lands bottoms is well, and Andre digs is the mayor now.

1:20:50

He has this yeah, like Andre power as Brian Kim because this is the, this is the black Mecca whether people want to meet it or not. This is the black Mecca, but 1 of the biggest problems that Atlanta has had.

1:21:03

Since the 70 s in the in the early 80 s. if so if you're not familiar with.

1:21:08

The Atlanta child murder's this was an event it's a place between 79.

1:21:13

In 81, we're over 30 between 2530 kids, we're hitting up and ultimately killed and Wayne waves took the fall, but they don't do a lot of people who don't believe that he killed all those kids. The problem is.

1:21:27

During that time, man, Jackson was the mayor of his he did a lot of great things. He has the airport name that manage. That was a good mayor.

1:21:36

the problem is there was a problem there was an n there was an equity gap meaning like

1:21:41

The rich black folks got Richard and the poor black folks got 4. so, kinda went to kind of bring it back to where agent was saying.

1:21:50

That's the problem that we have, we have to get on code with everybody black leads, right?

1:21:57

Right and that's just kind of the ultimate goal but I guess like, going back to what I was saying, like, a lot of people don't know who to go. Like you said, don't know the government. A lot of people think Chicago is a state. A lot of people think that Africa is a country.

1:22:10

We have to get better with knowing things, because that's how we're going to get serious. Like, like I said, the attorney general is is, uh, Chris card. That's important. Because he's the reason why a lot of your cousins who are game members are getting locked up right?

1:22:24

Now, along with finding Lewis, so if y'all want to stop your little right away from getting locked up, because his gang member.

1:22:31

You need to go and learn about these things. So, wrap it up, man, we got to get to where everybody want to Houston. So I noticed the sports women might understand because I think the election is tomorrow for the primary.

1:22:45

So, we decide who's going to run against Stacy Abrams, is the only person running for the Democrats. So she's going to go ahead and go through. She's going to be the Democratic nominee for the governance. State of Georgia is, uh.

1:22:57

Is, uh, sorry, I don't know why it's Brian kept going against David for do and there's some other people that's going on as well. Um, but those are the 2 main people, and that's more than likely going to go into runoff. But those that are Republican people in the Senate.

1:23:11

Hershel Walker is running against raphia whatnot. There's some other people running, but those are the 2 main people that's running.

1:23:18

So, with that being said, and also senior governance going up, but that's not really here that, because it's not really a powerful position, but once you call it.

1:23:28

Who's running against? Not we're not, um.

1:23:31

The other guy, I don't think Joanna did you see this? Not a, I think cause he's not.

1:23:40

Yeah, he's, he's not up yet. I think he comes up in white maybe even next year yet. So, um, I think, because, you know, pretty much, we're not replaced. I don't even know that. F*** crazy. Let her name, but she was, she was basically calling him in a radical liberal.

1:23:55

That's all she was saying. Yeah. Um, but hers, you know, she was, she had that seat on an emergency basis, because the person that she was fulfilling retired or so that's why the lady from the managing during here.

1:24:11

So, that's why he sees a, um, but, yeah, we're, we're not gonna want to use Hershel Walker. That's gonna be a funny a** thing but, man. Yeah, I mean, we have to get more politically involved and we have to know.

1:24:22

w w who and why were voting for people because at the end of the day

1:24:26

You could be running for somebody. I'll give him. A lot of people didn't know that Joe Biden was friends with the segregation is.

1:24:32

From the status actually went in stone strong, who is a Splunk segregation and so.

1:24:37

At the end of the day, that's the thing. But let's let's go ahead and move on.

1:24:41

Um, real quick we need to talk about the.

1:24:46

Conference find those both of them, so we just going to break down in both. So right now the Mavericks are pretty much done. They're down 3. 0.

1:24:54

Uh, shout out to Andrew Wiggins shut out the stuff. Carrie sent out. Some of my worries.

1:25:00

They look like they're going to the finals and right now, Boston is a big so if this score holds up, it's going to be too too going into game the game. 5 to 6. no.

1:25:14

That'll be gained 4 or 5. no, I'm sorry. You can't. So so.

1:25:18

Yeah, so man, what's your thoughts on these, uh, these 2 series man?

1:25:22

Well, angeline then shut down a whole thought about as well.

1:25:29

That was something.

1:25:35

Like, I'm trying to build my 2 K guy right now to do some s*** like, it.

1:25:40

But.

1:25:44

Uh, is is what it is like.

1:25:51

Add it in, have the mass going this far.

1:25:55

Um, I really didn't think it was going to.

1:26:00

Make it has, uh.

1:26:03

But, um, they they.

1:26:07

And, I mean, it is what it is, um.

1:26:12

Is suffix versus he.

1:26:15

It's interesting. It's very interesting.

1:26:20

Let's see how this, uh, this series go.

1:26:23

Uh, because it's.

1:26:28

It's 2 different place now.

1:26:32

But they both.

1:26:36

And.

1:26:39

Going into it, um.

1:26:43

It is really right.

1:26:46

Well, if your ease versus list.

1:26:51

And then it's like, well, really, who do you want from the East to go up and get? Who do you think.

1:26:59

We'll give the word is the greatest.

1:27:02

greater uh channel

1:27:05

Would it be Boston, potato and brown, or for playing out of his mind?

1:27:12

Or would it be the.

1:27:16

Jimmy Cal, and I don't think girls play it.

1:27:22

But even with bad, so, I mean.

1:27:27

Is star players on E this uh.

1:27:31

Um, but, uh, I got the I got.

1:27:36

Uh, I got in Boston, taking.

1:27:45

Yeah, man, um, I think, uh.

1:27:49

Does Dallas and go to stay serious? It's pretty much a rap. You know, I don't.

1:27:53

I don't think go to state is going to give up this lead that they have this time.

1:28:00

I think we need another kind of load that we need to talk about in another podcast is the Luca effect. Um.

1:28:09

Because a lot of people tried to.

1:28:13

You know, single out, uh, Reggie bullets, uh, game last night I think he went over to from the field.

1:28:21

Like, 44 minutes and, uh, he didn't score.

1:28:25

You know, 3, yeah.

1:28:29

And the only reason I know that is because I've seen the D*** picture on you say, new feature that was floating around but see, but see, that's how they will do right? Because Luca dropped 40, and they will single out 1 person, but.

1:28:44

I I remember the game before.

1:28:47

Where read your book at 21?

1:28:51

Bruce had had 30 and Luca had 40 and 41 or 42, and they still lost.

1:28:58

You know what I'm saying? So, like, these 40 point games are not translating for Lucca. And I think that's something to talk about because it's certain superstars that I've seen.

1:29:08

Lately, they had dropped these 40 point games and they don't win. And when you see when when you talk about a star, it start your superstar dress. What do you expect them to win?

1:29:19

A lot of I know a lot of people expect, uh, 1 of my dogs then when every every time he drops 40, you know what I'm saying anytime Brian drops for you. I know everybody expects them the way. So I want the same.

1:29:29

You know what I'm saying? Because I know that they would a cute tray young for this you know what I'm saying? But.

1:29:35

We're not going to get too far into that. Um, I didn't want to say that I, I do think they go to state is going to win.

1:29:41

This is, I do think they will sweep though. You know what I'm saying? I think it's gonna end. Uh, I think they played tomorrow night. So I think this is going to be over.

1:29:50

Oh, uh, as far as this, Boston and, uh, Miami series, it is interesting as.

1:29:58

Gang is here right now it's 63 to 35 right? Uh, 9 minutes and 50. I'm sorry left in the 3rd quarter.

1:30:12

In this series is what, 2 1.

1:30:15

21 right now, but the series is interesting. It's 21 to my Miami. We.

1:30:21

So, uh, barring any type of, uh, heroic come back, uh, it's going to be.

1:30:26

I do think that Boston is going to win this series because, um, if you look back at the players, so far, Boston has not had a bad series. They probably had a bad 1 or 2 games out of every series.

1:30:40

But any other game they play great, Jason Salem is, um.

1:30:43

He's playing out of his world right now, man and I'm.

1:30:47

I think Boston would be the better.

1:30:50

Match up right now, because I think, uh.

1:30:53

I don't, you know, with Kyle Lowery, I'm not sure what's all going on with him.

1:30:59

Jamie, uh, he's not all way up to par right now.

1:31:02

It's a lot of injuries in this line though I think, uh, W, W, what Mark is Mark was the defensive player the year wasn't um, yeah, yeah, he was.

1:31:14

You can bring this, uh, this grit to the court, man and a lot of.

1:31:19

You know, a lot of things, uh, certain players do.

1:31:22

Don't translate to the bot score, right um, so it's a lot of things that market smart does that you don't really see in the box for all the time.

1:31:31

But when you, when you watch game 1, if you didn't watch anyone that you've seen, the highlights that you see how bad Miami routed them and do you see game too?

1:31:41

When Mark is smart, and our Horford come back and you see the input.

1:31:46

That they put on the game, you know what I'm saying? Like, without that, you don't have the grit and grind and Jason Taylor has to stand up. You know what I'm saying by himself uh.

1:31:55

I'm starting to see the point that Buddy was making when he was saying that jaylyn Brown is not him and Jason is I do believe that Jay Lynn brown.

1:32:05

Is a dog, you know what I'm saying? We're starting to see the superstar.

1:32:10

And Jason say, you know what I'm saying so, I do think to answer a question, I do think that Boston.

1:32:17

It's gonna be the better match up for, uh, the warriors.

1:32:20

And, um.

1:32:24

As much as I want to say, uh, because they do have a dog on the worry is that everything everything he does doesn't show up on the box. And that's during my agree.

1:32:34

But I think the key to this series, if the Golden State Warriors are going to win Jordan, who has to be here.

1:32:41

He has to still open these times because clay Thompson is not the man.

1:32:46

That he wants was, but he still, he's trying to get back. We understand that. We have to give him tell him.

1:32:51

But Jordan who has to step up they don't have Gary Payton right now.

1:32:56

So, he has to be here, you know, say, because it, it opens up the floor for stuff to do what he has to do.

1:33:03

We all know that stuff kind of disappears in the finals. So Jordan has to be there for him. So, um.

1:33:10

What I do think that Boston is going to win the championship issue and Jason is going to win his 1st time.

1:33:20

Well, I disagree, I'm just going to be brutally honest with you. I disagree.

1:33:25

I think that the warriors are prompt to win the championship this year and I would like to go back to a little conversation that back at establishment when I predict the

1:33:40

word. To go far, I just want to, you know, tomorrow, but just a couple of things and, um, yeah, I'm probably gonna like, what I'm about to say, cause I don't like Luca.

1:33:51

And I don't really like him as well, but here's the thing. And I think I said this on a podcast a couple of weeks ago, right? About.

1:33:59

Lucca if Lucca is the European James Hardy.

1:34:04

And what was the rockets.

1:34:08

Thing that they did to get to those with the conference finals, right?

1:34:13

James Hardie plan, isolation, 101, basketball.

1:34:18

And they shoot 3 s and P. J. Tucker that had Chris Paul that habit James hardened. They had.

1:34:25

Who will stay here? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about Gordon.

1:34:30

Had shooters on that team and then he know that clinical fellow.

1:34:34

And where did the worries? Do they may James Hardy have to? They may James hard to look like he was human because.

1:34:43

The 1 thing about the warriors, they played team basketball, they all play 1 on 1. you don't see stuff curry plant and then, you know, because here's the thing.

1:34:56

And I'm just so shocked that people, like, and this is, what P*** me off about sports center the only people that get it right is inside the NBA, because they play everybody is like, oh, my gosh. Lucas score 40. he did a great job.

1:35:11

He's carrying the team. That's great. Most of these points, mostly his points came after they were like, down and out the words, he actually stopped playing.

1:35:20

When it was actually time to play, I like to say about that. Chris guy those his points was it the calories.

1:35:30

He takes his team out of rhythm. I think you made the same that Ryan, but go ahead.

1:35:35

Hello.

1:35:39

Uh, we're not talking about football right now, but no um, yet.

1:35:45

Humble ahead, empty calories last night and see, this is the thing and this is why I think the words are going to win the championship.

1:35:55

Their culture is 1 thing now, I was a huge Andrew Andrew wiki's fans. We came out of Kansas even before he went to Kansas when everybody knew who was going to go number 1, who was him in Japan, Parker and Japan. He got injuries and stuff like that.

1:36:09

It was him Dubai parking and B, right?

1:36:12

That came in that drive 123 Andrew Wiggins was a good player in a bad environment. Nobody can change the temple Kevin and garden can even change. The f*** said, right?

1:36:26

Andrew Wiggins is now, is a quantify all star, and I think he has a chance to become the superstar in the system. Okay.

1:36:36

Um, but like, going back to Luka, they have so many defenders. Okay you want to play I say, okay, cool.

1:36:43

But then and now, people and if people's kill skipped fail, it's a lot. But he made a great point. I'll look at this. It's the same thing that James, how to do, and go back and look up.

1:36:53

When there was talking about James Hardie ought to do with Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Virginia, jumping, triple, and he passed the ball.

1:37:02

And I got to take a shot at like, 2 seconds and they, their rhythms off because all they're doing is literally standing and watching Luke. Good. Do what you do and it works against the wizards. It works against the Lakers.

1:37:16

But you cannot read the words like that. So, my whole point is the reason why I like the war is to win the championship is because they have championship in their culture. They have.

1:37:29

Players loaded, because there's a chance that Gary Payton, the 3rd could be back. There's a chance that they are. Like you said, they got Jordan pool, they got they got bodies. In fact, the funny thing is they're not even playing when they're better players.

1:37:42

Convenient because he's a rookie, so I'm not, I'm not going to say, well, I have not watched 1 game of the Eastern Conference finals, but I know what's going on because.

1:37:51

Every game with the session, the last game has been blowups. Now, I think the word is better chance is to play the heat.

1:37:59

Because 1 of the reasons why I do not like my favorite team is because they are great defensive team, but they don't have a lot of great scores besides Jimmy Butler. He wrote them out a bio who's really going to give you points. Oh, yes.

1:38:12

You have all the depot, but he's older he's coming off of injuries categories and his last legs, right?

1:38:18

And then everybody else was like a stand up 3 point shooter. Right? Um.

1:38:22

So, for me, like the associates are, and I, and I caught you, I think I said that I was kind of crazy but the Celtics to me are the best team and it used to conference.

1:38:33

Now, with that being said, I did not see them game past, uh.

1:38:37

That Milwaukee books, and granted, I will like to see what they would have done. If Middleton was healthy in that series, but he was not.

1:38:45

Would that being said, I think the services do have a good chance, but the reason why I think that they cannot be the workers is they match up just as well as.

1:38:54

The heat yes, I'm sorry. Worries.

1:38:58

The reason why I think the Celtics they only have they have yes, they have our Horford.

1:39:05

But he's not a dominant rebounder. He's not he's, he's a really a powerful place in all his career.

1:39:13

They don't have as much scoring and you can take they have the defenders to take and say to them, they haven't finished that can take a royno. Cause Williams is a bonafide defender. People don't know about this but.

1:39:26

For folks, that's listening, go on Twitter and typing in with his island. He lights up your best players. He lives up, he lives up with Brian he's looking at locking up. Luca the problem is and this is why I say people don't watch the games.

1:39:40

People think that weakness is a bus, because they didn't watch Minnesota, but he was averaging 20 points a game and he was a great defender. Look what? Clay I mean, look what the Minnesota temperatures have done. They just.

1:39:52

Got to the play offs for the 1st time. Like forever they had not made the players since Kevin.

1:39:58

They made the play offs 2 times since they made it to the Western Conference finals in 2004. that's our end of a franchise they have been. So, with that being said.

1:40:09

I think, honestly, in my opinion, it's gonna be a dog fight between the surface and he is because this who's gonna stay healthy cause is her.

1:40:18

Mark Mark has been hurt, but lose been hurt.

1:40:22

How he rose hurt, so it's going to be about nutrition, but whoever limps into the finals are going to get smoked in 5 out of worries. That's my prediction on that.

1:40:33

Oh, no, man. I think it's going to be they gonna push them at 6 at least.

1:40:43

If I'm saying, if you're going to say the word is going to win, and if I'm going to accept the word.

1:40:49

The game gotta be 6 for me. Smoking. I think Jason Taylor minimum boys got a lot of heart.

1:40:58

And if you look at it, not saying, I'm not saying they resemble the warriors, but.

1:41:04

Cause market market new people could never be this doesn't seem right I'm not saying that,

1:41:11

but if you look at it from a defensive a** point aspect,

1:41:15

I mean, to say, like, if you look at it like that,

1:41:17

like, I think that they could kind of like. Go back and forth with the words, and they can kind of shut down a lot of that bar movement because, like you said, um, countless a time, and that's what makes the warriors the Warriors right? Like, even though broke in place when they look like they indicted score.

1:41:34

Like, they moved to Boston that occurred in his little corridor, and he goes back, they sit down. All right and they turned around before the before it even goes me. So.

1:41:44

Even with great defense is like, they still thrive, but I think Boston they, they got to watch out because that's how long to say.

1:41:55

But, let me say this, though, too, the reason why I think, because the team, the way you beat the worries, you got to play their game and you got to do it better.

1:42:03

Meaning like, you have to be a great shooting team and with this session adjacent to them, like, they're not a really great shooting team. Like, the Celtics can struggle with scoring. You have to be a great scoring team to be.

1:42:17

And that's why I was just about to correct, you.

1:42:19

I don't think you have to be a great unit's team because of the burn proved that wrong. Right? Even though they had shoot, it just got re, was prescribed that 1 yeah. That shot.

1:42:30

But the rest of the series was Brian dominated in inside of the 3 point line, right?

1:42:36

Hello, Brian is a great score of regarding. Yeah, so you have to be a great scoring team and play defense to beat the war. You can't you can't play the Warriors game to beat them.

1:42:47

I think it's the opposite. If you try to play the watch me, they're gonna be a D, and you don't have to be a defensive team.

1:42:56

And that's what I think the, what you're what you're also you're also forgetting his.

1:43:03

Okay, the suffix got those 2 Williams.

1:43:08

And they, they don't laugh, they don't like size. They don't like size and they are and oh, I forgot his name.

1:43:19

But, uh, his number is like.

1:43:23

He can shoot from the outside is willing to be a big dude, and they play him as a big.

1:43:32

So that's the thing about it. So.

1:43:35

When when you say, when you say play the warriors, when I looked at the warriors, I look at Martin smart that can that can.

1:43:47

Guard hurry then I looked at 10. am I looking at Brown?

1:43:52

Like, I look at the link that data lake Wiggins got late as well and then you got a dream on,

1:44:01

but at the same time, like,

1:44:04

you still when it's when it comes to their backups,

1:44:08

like no, boys still got people who LinkedIn and hang on.

1:44:15

So that's my thing, like, when we all say it, defense 1 championship.

1:44:21

So, at the end of the day, like, let's be serious, hurry and go play mode, which means on the job to defense employees.

1:44:32

Unless you count, unless you what you're going to say, equal dollar, he's on his last legs too. So it's good to know. He is a sneaky defender.

1:44:46

You still got claimed sign ups and don't play, em, like that. And you still got you got you got, uh, what's his name uh, will champion his grandson, uh, out there. He's a good defender. And, like I said, they play great defense.

1:45:00

I look forward to show you. Yes, what Chamberlain is grandson no,

1:45:04

no he's a joke cause he looked like I really thought out pretty well.

1:45:19

I think he almost got somewhere else by to put it in the search bar and everything. Like, I've never.

1:45:29

And I've really got it like I said, man, like like, and they go when do date they're deep cause like I said.

1:45:38

There's, they're 1 of their better players is not even planning the series right now, because they don't feel like he's ready for the moment yet. Right? So.

1:45:46

Um, why isn't it? Yeah so, basically, man, like I said, I like I said, the services are a good thing, but otherwise me.

1:45:56

So that was when they get not Wiseman, I don't know why I said, okay for me, because the good news America is ready. I think, man, I think every.

1:46:05

I think every young player on the Warriors roster has shown that they're ready for the spotlight a little bit. I just hate happy to hear pain. Um, he's the 3rd day, right? The 2nd.

1:46:17

The 2nd, like, I just hate what happened to him, man because, like, I love those type of players that don't matter, it don't matter, because they don't start they take their minutes and they're gonna do what they do.

1:46:30

You know what I'm saying in those minutes, you know, say, um.

1:46:34

I think Golden State has been blessed with those type of players throughout the runs that they've had.

1:46:41

Like, you always say that they drafted this team, but he like, they did, um, a lot of players came to the draft, but they have been blessed with those type of, uh, you know, gyms that stand out after a while. You know what I'm saying?

1:46:55

I think Korea got those injuries. Now you already knew he was going to be special anyway. Playtime saying, you didn't know, like, it's like, dream mind. We've seen where he was at Michigan State, but we didn't know.

1:47:07

You know, going to be yeah, he was even vocal in the office. I see I remember the games like, he was.

1:47:17

Do the same dream on you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but you don't expect.

1:47:21

I didn't, I didn't think he was going to be the type of player that he turned out to be. I respect his game and a lot of people think that his stats are empty and s*** like that.

1:47:30

But it takes a lot to go out there and make those, uh, those passes and I think he will be key and a lot of offices I don't think that it just is time to go to state. I think it should go somewhere else.

1:47:42

He's key anywhere else that he goes, you know, say he has to knock down those threes in the play offs, though.

1:47:48

i respect that but yeah definitely have been blessed with those type of players in in the draft it

1:47:58

There'll be a really good, you know, saying for you, you're off. It's even even if after they leave the team, they don't sound like that, but when they were in go to the States office, it was, it was, it was.

1:48:12

Facts all right. Man. So.

1:48:15

uh any final anybody i got some funding policies where they just like a message they want to share or anything they want to get off their chest before we end this product

1:48:26

Oh, go ahead. Go. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead.

1:48:30

I didn't want to say something about this guy that's, um.

1:48:34

Walking in the United States, um, if I can pull up his name, I believe his name is David.

1:48:41

Give me 3rd here, man, he's, uh, really, uh.

1:48:47

You know, they went through the word of God right now, and he's saying that the word of God is telling him.

1:48:54

You know, to take this journey that has has been on.

1:48:57

I don't know if you guys are in tune with social media.

1:49:01

But, um, he's out here, man, and, um, I'm on the page if you could give me 3rd to pull up the name. His name is, uh, I think they have the hashtag David faith walk.

1:49:13

David safe walk that's what it is. The David safe walk and, um.

1:49:19

It's really just a big inspiration right now because, uh, like.

1:49:23

What are you doing that I'm seeing is like, bringing people from all walks of life.

1:49:28

Together to even take a picture with him and hear his story.

1:49:32

From what I can get from it, everybody's saying that his.

1:49:37

Is always so bright, man? He's a great man. He's very knowledgeable.

1:49:43

Um, I think I read it, um, that this is his 2nd time.

1:49:48

The journey that his own he's on right now. This is currently his 2nd, 1.

1:49:52

He started his 1st, 1 um, if if I'm wrong, I think it was, like, may 2020 and he finished at the beginning of this year in January.

1:50:02

Um, and he said, um, a lot of that stuff that he was doing throughout the 1st walk, he took peanut butter and jelly to get him through, um, you know, his hunger and everything like that.

1:50:14

But he said with this journey that he's taking now.

1:50:19

And I believe he started on last month and a half ago.

1:50:24

um that he's just you know rely solely on the lord and he hasn't missed a meal in two months i think it's been two months since he's been on his journey actually

1:50:34

You know, you know, a lot of times I said all that, the same man, kudos to him and I think is the it's great, man.

1:50:44

Um, that somebody, you know, uh, is motivated in that.

1:50:49

A sense to do something like that. Um, and I just went around that off by saying that a lot of things.

1:50:56

Uh, that we complain about on a day to day basis. Um, he's, uh.

1:51:01

You know, sacrificing that.

1:51:04

You know what I'm saying? He's sacrificing all that to do what he has to do that. He feels the Lord is calling him to do.

1:51:12

Um, so I think if we can all learn to sacrifice.

1:51:16

A little we will get to where we need to be.

1:51:20

You know what I'm saying? So, just take that little bit of what I said, and, um, try to apply it, you know, to your everyday life or just sacrifice a little bit.

1:51:44

Bye bye.

1:51:47

Do do 1 of these since we, since we are the culture.

1:51:52

And we're trying to change everybody do 1 good day to day.

1:51:57

1, good day today, I don't care if it's a homeless person.

1:52:01

I don't care if it's a druggie or whatever.

1:52:05

1:52:09

1:52:12

And the end of the day, you make sure that you do it out the.

1:52:16

1:52:23

Well, I don't want to give it to them because don't they may going to do by alcohol.

1:52:28

I don't give a D*** what they do with it by at the end of the day. That's 1 new.

1:52:33

But, God knows what your heart was when you.

1:52:37

When you went to give it to so.

1:52:40

Do 100 D, right? It doesn't hurt at the end of the day. He wasn't going to you.

1:52:47

It's not going to hurt to give a couple of dollars or whatever.

1:52:51

And guess what half of the time next couple of dollars going to work.

1:52:55

1:52:58

So just give it to them and, uh.

1:53:02

1:53:06

Because I try to do work, I just do it from the benefit of my heart. I don't know.

1:53:10

Go out and try to be like, oh, well, I'm better than this person.

1:53:15

So, do 1 did the 1 that the.

1:53:20

And build to where, if you do, if you do want to do a good day.

1:53:25

Hang on, go underneath our podcast when we did go on post it.

1:53:30

And just be like, it was a catch up for the go fund agent.

1:53:34

I would gladly take it.

1:53:38

Go for an Asia, I will definitely use it. Okay.

1:53:45

Each 1, each with each 1, 8.

1:53:52

Yes, sir. Oh, find me teach me.

1:53:56

Say go fun day. Go sled back there. We go in on the boy.

1:54:05

Hey, what's up? Everybody good. My name. Hello? Hi.

1:54:14

It's time for school, young console now we know you to be on the podcast that we to coach it.

1:54:23

There we go. Yeah.

1:54:28

Yeah.

1:54:32

So, I'm not going to be long, but, um, I do have my little assignment that I got to say, man. And, um.

1:54:39

At an early age, man, I just always wanted to be different. I always wanted to be great. I never wanted to be averaging what to read you a quote 1 of my favorite songs from found this artist named.

1:54:53

And his name is king remembered in time, whereas half power and this song title is another naive individual glorify and greet.

1:55:03

And basically, it goes like this, I don't want to be another negative set of government. I don't want to be another negative to the white folks. I don't want to be another negative set of black folks. I don't want to be in another negative, but set a world.

1:55:17

I don't want to be another negative and I wrote this on my Facebook page. I said, I don't want to be your drug dealer.

1:55:22

I don't want to be your day, be dead. I don't want to be a parent. I don't want to be your tap dancing entertainment and I don't want to be your average get. Em, N***. That'd be different. 100%.

1:55:31

I want everybody to understand the reason why we do we to coach a podcast is not what it is entertaining you guys it is to give your perspective on everything or the culture, but everybody on this podcast is doing something out of the norm.

1:55:45

Everybody's not trying to be your averages and again, what I mean by that is no, no offense to folks that they have the status quo job this, then the 3rd, but if you don't wake up every day with the mindset of.

1:55:59

Changing go life for the better you have to change your mindset. Everybody has the same opportunity, whether you're making up in a at a homeless shelter.

1:56:09

Are you working up in a penthouse your day? You have to realize that.

1:56:14

We are not here on this art to be status quo average as mother. F**.

1:56:20

And I'm person because I got to get real job. Nick is like.

1:56:25

We gotta, we gotta want to be better we gotta want to do better than what we talked about today was the crap and environments now that we talked about, you know, this, that and the 3rd about the some of the stuff that we faced in our culture right.

1:56:39

But you have to wake up with the mindset. That's my. That's my that's me. And I'm not every day and know I'm not the type of person that makes a lot of money or I'm getting there, but it's going to take time.

1:56:52

But you got to have that 1Million dollar mindset.

1:56:54

And 1 of the things that we have to do is you have to change these 3 things. And, like I said, it will be quick.

1:57:02

The 1st thing is check around you and check who your friends are, if yadah, if John or not like money I don't have the same vision is to get better.

1:57:11

Say, for example, you a business owner and all your friends just do typical negotiate, you need to change your friends because those are not the people that's going to help you get to the level that you need to get to. 2nd.

1:57:24

You need to tell you, you need to make sure that you have a 5 year plan and till on track.

1:57:29

Where have you been in the next 5 to 10 years or where have you gone from?

1:57:33

For me 10 years ago,

1:57:35

right now, I was in a homeless shelter right now I got a job working for a bunch of 500 company,

1:57:40

and this is not the toot my own horn, but that's just to say this is where I have been in the last 10 years,

1:57:46

and where I'm going, like, next year will be my 10 year anniversary of graduating high school right?

1:57:54

In 10 years, I want to be a homeowner, and I want this podcast to be big and I want all of us to be in a better place. And I want to and I want to be.

1:58:03

Consider great and think about this and I'm not talking about this a couple of weeks ago.

1:58:09

But think about your legacy, man, do you want to be a N*** who has been known for having our flash and no substance? Like, you got out of you in the world, but you have no commonsense.

1:58:19

Like, I want to give a shout out to 1 of my cousins who I'm married to his name.

1:58:26

He's 1 of the most educated people. I know he doesn't have a college degree.

1:58:30

But you would never know he had his own business. He reads books.

1:58:34

He's phenomenal. I challenge everybody to do this, because I'm gonna do this myself.

1:58:39

I want everybody to go and read a book about black empowerment, because we all know about massaged stories. We know about reading about Jim Crow. We know about reading about slavery.

1:58:50

But I want people to know who what it is. I want people to know who Louis is. I want people to know who Marcus Garvey is we have to because when you change your mindset.

1:59:04

You're going places in life. You don't want to be you don't want to be 50 years old and the best thing you ever did was work at Kroger for 20 years because nobody wants to do that. You want to be able to say that she went and got to see the world and that's an agent has done.

1:59:19

He's been the career, he's been different places. You want to have that mindset of I D**.

1:59:24

Remember last year we went to Mexico or Dan, you're going to last you went to Vegas or ship bro when are we going to? Dubai? That's the that's the type of mindset that you want to.

1:59:35

This next year.

1:59:40

So, what I'm saying is, man, it'd be f*** different, man don't don't don't try to be the average N***, man. B, start to be the best person that you can be and go hard for what you want and do not settled. That's the that's the last point.

1:59:54

Do not settle. I don't get why, when you settle you, you're spending your growth.

2:00:00

When you settle, you're saying you're, you're stagnant.

2:00:03

Go for it and go for, like, this is something that there was a quote 1 from a program that I went to for education, get comfortable with the uncomfortable because when you're comfortable, you're safe. But when you save.

2:00:18

You're in a union bubble, take chances go hard for what you want to and start not to be another negative. So, with that being said, man.

2:00:27

I wonder if our hearts and minds equipment that's going to be it for today's podcast is.

2:00:32

Um, before we get up out of here, go ahead. If you live in Atlanta area.

2:00:37

2:00:47

Uh, he does count is available.

2:00:50

facts erica reactions and since their project plan as well for your party needs as well

2:00:58

So, man, I think we had a good long podcast, man. I'm going to get you out of for again everybody wakes up like me. I wake up and, you know what I say.

2:01:07

Good morning. God just that's how I'd be.

2:01:10

Hey, and another thing is too, and I know I haven't talked about this recently, but I got it.

2:01:19

Everybody man, I got accounts on every Thursday, man. Um.

2:01:26

If you need, don't be that type of person that thing, I don't need counseling where go to counseling bro if you need to talk with somebody.

2:01:35

Because W1 of the biggest problems that especially black men, because all 3 of us, a black man out here, all 4 of us cause Martin is is gonna be a black man in 1 day struggle with.

2:01:46

And we struggle with learning that it's okay to.

2:01:51

The emotional about you, so, what that means that, man, if you go to counseling, man, like, I'm not going to go into this, but yes, mental health is important and take care of your because there's a lot of black man out here.

2:02:03

Dropping left and right from suicide, because they didn't they didn't know who to go to. So, with that being said, man, I think our hearts and minds are clear.

2:02:12
