00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,290
What are we doing man? Back to
Back?

8
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,090
Well, we owe two people episode
for the one we skipped. And that

9
00:00:51,090 --> 00:00:54,570
makes sure we get back on the
cycle because you know a Mopar

10
00:00:54,570 --> 00:00:55,890
schedule a cycle dependent.

11
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,880
Yes, we have we have cycles that
need to intersect. Hey, by the

12
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:04,200
way, Mo in the words of Morgan
Freeman, Happy Black History

13
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:04,620
Month.

14
00:01:06,930 --> 00:01:10,050
Capri, Happy Black future month.
Where the Kanye

15
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:13,230
Yeah. Oh, is that what he's
that's what he said Happy Black

16
00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:13,920
future month.

17
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:17,670
Well, no, he was saying we need
to stop focusing on the history

18
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:19,800
more on the future. That was a

19
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:22,890
yeah, now it's just it's it
always makes me laugh black

20
00:01:22,890 --> 00:01:26,760
history month in February. The
shortest month the count and

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,990
the coldest. The

22
00:01:27,989 --> 00:01:33,029
coldest. Yeah, that's true. Hey,
well, I'm very excited. So I

23
00:01:33,029 --> 00:01:35,939
guess we have a is this a little
shorter than normal? Will this

24
00:01:35,939 --> 00:01:38,399
be less than five hours today?
Or I

25
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,400
think we should get out here
before five hours.

26
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:45,390
I always love it though. Always
an education.

27
00:01:46,019 --> 00:01:51,929
Yeah. So um, he's gonna be we're
going to go back over some

28
00:01:51,929 --> 00:01:54,359
themes because there's been a
common theme that's been running

29
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:59,069
through the show. And what
happened to what we discussed on

30
00:01:59,069 --> 00:02:02,639
the last show and the recent
events in my personal life, I

31
00:02:02,639 --> 00:02:07,559
think this show is going to be I
just thought more personal show.

32
00:02:09,419 --> 00:02:09,809
So,

33
00:02:09,899 --> 00:02:17,669
okay, well, we like the personal
shows. And these are always the

34
00:02:17,669 --> 00:02:21,629
most interesting to me. So let
me crank it up here. Let's get

35
00:02:21,629 --> 00:02:24,449
the real topics going on. We're
gonna find out what it is.

36
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:26,969
Rhonda Rhonda goes, What's the
topic for today's show? Nobody

37
00:02:26,969 --> 00:02:29,189
knows. Well, Moe does know
because he put it together for

38
00:02:29,189 --> 00:02:32,129
us once again, the topic for
more facts with Adam curry

39
00:02:32,129 --> 00:02:33,539
episode number 75.

40
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,330
is not to be okay.

41
00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:39,480
Okay, it's okay not to be okay.

42
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,190
It's okay not to be okay. And
this is a personal show for me

43
00:02:44,190 --> 00:02:48,300
just talking about personal
experience. But also doing it if

44
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:50,700
I'm going through this, it might
be other people out there is

45
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:55,410
going through the same thing.
And the point I mean by it's

46
00:02:55,410 --> 00:02:59,670
okay not to be okay. We're
coming up on a week to the day

47
00:02:59,790 --> 00:03:03,180
when I found out I was going to
be fired. And I'm going to stop

48
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:07,560
using the word separated or
parted ways with my company it

49
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,620
is what it is I was fired. No
doing on my own other than want

50
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:19,680
to want to maintain medical
autonomy. Um, now I lasted. And

51
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,000
I'll keep saying that a company
I'm a capitalist. So a company

52
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,220
has the right to do or companies
have the right to do what they

53
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:30,840
want. But my issue is the
coercion that went to use and it

54
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,020
took place and now you're
hearing well you did it on your

55
00:03:34,020 --> 00:03:38,340
own choice you did it on your
own choice. I'm the equivalent

56
00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:43,440
would be say a me to issue right
if a person was to quit their

57
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,980
job because they were put in an
awkward situation. And then they

58
00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:52,710
were told oh you quit on your
own choice? No, this is a very

59
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:57,870
tough situation and so just to
be honest with the producers and

60
00:03:57,870 --> 00:04:06,540
the family I have been angry as
hell. I have been mad um

61
00:04:07,469 --> 00:04:11,969
well this is very understandable
you put theirs you said before

62
00:04:11,969 --> 00:04:16,409
you've told me how the social
contract was broken and that is

63
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:21,089
partially the the world in
general but certainly the whole

64
00:04:21,089 --> 00:04:25,619
idea of a corporation in America
where you start and you know 15

65
00:04:25,619 --> 00:04:28,589
years later you're basically
kicked to the curb with a with a

66
00:04:28,589 --> 00:04:31,859
letter is very letter

67
00:04:31,890 --> 00:04:36,030
not even have didn't even have
my name on it. That's that's

68
00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:39,030
really just have employee number

69
00:04:39,420 --> 00:04:42,480
it no it just says basically
like an open I wish I had it

70
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,650
here close to me. But it was
basically like you so whoever

71
00:04:46,650 --> 00:04:50,280
was whoever it making certain
kind of situation. Wow. Yeah,

72
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:52,620
there was no no there was
nothing personal about it.

73
00:04:53,130 --> 00:04:54,270
Completely call in

74
00:04:54,540 --> 00:04:59,190
and it did it. Did it did it and
was like, you can contact HR

75
00:04:59,190 --> 00:05:03,870
too. To finalize stuff or
anything like there,

76
00:05:04,110 --> 00:05:08,790
it is final. The note was the
final news and the final.

77
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:11,370
But healthcare and stuff like
that I

78
00:05:11,370 --> 00:05:13,680
mean that well, they said you'll
be kicked off at the end of the

79
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,570
month, they gave me a week to
find health care.

80
00:05:17,699 --> 00:05:21,239
Enjoy the marketplace and all
the spam that Obamacare brought

81
00:05:21,239 --> 00:05:22,019
us there, brother.

82
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,470
Oh, my God. I mean, I basically
had to cut my phone off.

83
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:32,190
Messages and the calls. It's the
worst. Yeah. But my issue is

84
00:05:32,190 --> 00:05:36,840
that this government, United
States government, you know,

85
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:40,800
colluded with corporations.
That's to get rid of the

86
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,950
undesirable Yep. And, you know,
I didn't think this what, I am

87
00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:52,230
not surprised. Just being as a
black man, you figured out,

88
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:55,110
we're gonna get you some kind of
way. But I didn't think it was

89
00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:57,420
gonna be this kind of way. And
the reason why I know that

90
00:05:57,420 --> 00:06:02,130
sounds very unmowed like, but
this what goes on in the back of

91
00:06:02,130 --> 00:06:04,860
your head, like some something's
gonna get me, I've been I've

92
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:10,110
been on a two year run. Ah, and
that's kind of sad to say, but

93
00:06:10,110 --> 00:06:10,920
it is what it is.

94
00:06:13,019 --> 00:06:16,499
Now, but you clearly don't feel
like you've been gotten or

95
00:06:16,499 --> 00:06:18,929
captured, because quite the
opposite has happened, you've

96
00:06:19,019 --> 00:06:23,429
really, you've been able to free
your mind and explore other

97
00:06:23,429 --> 00:06:24,149
things. Now.

98
00:06:24,630 --> 00:06:29,940
That's true. But what I mean by
God is a stumbling block is

99
00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:34,290
going to be put before you at
some point. And the reason why

100
00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:36,780
I'm having this show is two
things, because I'm sure there's

101
00:06:37,260 --> 00:06:39,720
people out here that's going
through the same thing with less

102
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:46,980
opportunity than me. And less,
you know, less clear path in

103
00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:50,340
front of them than me. So I
speak for them. But also just to

104
00:06:50,340 --> 00:06:55,200
go back and talk about this
anger. Because the angry black

105
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,040
man is a trope, right? It's a
meme. So

106
00:06:59,220 --> 00:07:03,390
you have not displayed any. Of
course, I know you're, you've

107
00:07:03,390 --> 00:07:08,700
been on edge and disappointed
and, and of course, angry but

108
00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:11,670
you have never even you know,
when we talk all the time about

109
00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:16,620
stuff, not on the show. You
really haven't displayed real

110
00:07:16,620 --> 00:07:17,880
anger that I noticed.

111
00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:23,250
And that's the thing is, even to
the point where you can't

112
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:27,450
display it, not with not me
personally, but there's a social

113
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:33,150
norm. Or maybe that's not the
word, but it's like an

114
00:07:33,150 --> 00:07:35,250
expectation that a black person
can't be angry.

115
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,150
Because it's not a good look.

116
00:07:39,449 --> 00:07:42,899
Right? Because it feeds to the
for the last show. You see what

117
00:07:42,899 --> 00:07:45,179
happened when you do some kind
of anger? Do you

118
00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:49,770
feel yourself literally holding
back because of that very

119
00:07:49,770 --> 00:07:52,680
reason. You self censor yourself
because of that?

120
00:07:53,250 --> 00:07:55,530
Well, it's a couple of reasons.
And we won't get this. This

121
00:07:55,530 --> 00:07:58,920
whole show is about this topic.
Okay, good. But you know, so

122
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,550
it's a couple of things. It's
not as self censoring from the

123
00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:07,050
fact that nobody wants to seem
like a whiner. Nobody wants to

124
00:08:07,050 --> 00:08:10,770
seem like a complainer. Uh,
whatever you throw at me, I'll

125
00:08:10,770 --> 00:08:15,900
deal with it. That's just being
a free minded person that comes

126
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:21,930
with that. But also, an angry
black person is seen as a, I

127
00:08:21,930 --> 00:08:24,690
would say as more of a threat
than any any other person,

128
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,890
especially angry black man. Even
compared to counterparts, the

129
00:08:28,890 --> 00:08:34,080
women were not allowed to show
that range of emotion. Because

130
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,770
then you're crazy. You get
labeled with these labels. It

131
00:08:37,770 --> 00:08:39,240
made. Maybe

132
00:08:40,529 --> 00:08:44,879
there's only one kind. I know
that. Do you remember? I don't

133
00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:49,559
remember which protest. This
was. This may have been back

134
00:08:49,589 --> 00:08:53,009
after Occupy Wall Street. I
can't remember. But there was

135
00:08:53,009 --> 00:08:55,919
this kid and he was protesting.
And he was you know, young,

136
00:08:55,949 --> 00:09:02,009
young, black, young black boy.
Maybe like 1314 and his mama

137
00:09:02,009 --> 00:09:06,419
came out. And she grabbed him by
his ear and dragged him off

138
00:09:06,419 --> 00:09:09,869
home. And the whole summer was a
Baltimore's the whole country

139
00:09:09,869 --> 00:09:14,159
was like hell yeah. Why don't we
have more of that? That was

140
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:15,269
fantastic.

141
00:09:15,690 --> 00:09:20,070
Right? That's, that's, that will
be okay. But if it would have

142
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:23,280
been his father, ah, no big
problem. It would have been

143
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,050
enough. It would be something
No, no, I

144
00:09:25,050 --> 00:09:27,630
understand. I'm just pointing
that out is there is there is

145
00:09:27,630 --> 00:09:32,850
this one instance, the black
mother is revered in America for

146
00:09:32,850 --> 00:09:33,360
this.

147
00:09:33,870 --> 00:09:36,810
And then we'll just speak since
we're on Black History Month.

148
00:09:37,140 --> 00:09:41,670
This is the difference between
King and Malcolm X. The king was

149
00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:45,270
acceptable. Because he really
never got angry or showed his

150
00:09:45,270 --> 00:09:45,540
anger

151
00:09:45,540 --> 00:09:48,690
and right and not Malcolm was
the other way around. Yeah, he

152
00:09:48,690 --> 00:09:49,800
was saying not

153
00:09:49,830 --> 00:09:54,180
angry, but he could be perceived
as angry by by the way he spoke.

154
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,030
And it's like, oh, we're gonna
go the king will go at Kings

155
00:09:57,030 --> 00:10:01,230
method. We can't go with Malcolm
X method. So, like I said, I

156
00:10:01,230 --> 00:10:04,080
just want to explain this. I've
just just me being transparent

157
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:10,380
with people. And it's a
secondary purpose to have this

158
00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:13,050
conversation. And we'll get
through it as we get into it. So

159
00:10:13,050 --> 00:10:15,990
I guess we can just go ahead and
jump in the first clip, and this

160
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:20,130
is Dr. Fields, explains the
psychology of anger. I want to

161
00:10:20,130 --> 00:10:26,640
tell you that, I do think that
anger is your default emotion.

162
00:10:27,390 --> 00:10:32,580
It's, it's what you go to,
because it's the safest emotion

163
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,850
to see if if, if you go to
anger, then you're less likely

164
00:10:38,850 --> 00:10:42,660
to be hurt. Because you've
already started a fight, right?

165
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,350
So it's not like you went and
said, Hey, listen, I really like

166
00:10:46,350 --> 00:10:50,250
you. And I want you to want me
and accept me. And then if you

167
00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:54,210
get rejected, that's painful.
But if you go in and say, I

168
00:10:54,210 --> 00:10:56,490
don't want you to want me
because I don't like you, and

169
00:10:56,490 --> 00:10:58,770
I'm gonna yell at you and scream
at you that it doesn't hurt

170
00:10:58,770 --> 00:11:01,140
because you never find out where
they would have let you stay.

171
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:06,240
Anger is a big part of it. And I
do have the freakout. And that

172
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,080
happens a lot, like almost every
day, but then I go through like,

173
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,260
a ton of different emotions
throughout the day, sad, you

174
00:11:13,260 --> 00:11:15,960
know, all kinds of different
stuff happens. That's because

175
00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:23,640
anger is just the outward
manifestation of hurt fear or

176
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,480
frustration.

177
00:11:25,740 --> 00:11:28,620
One of these days doesn't have
to be the show. But I would love

178
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:32,580
to know more about how Dr. Phil
is viewed by black America.

179
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,090
Because you've brought him up on
the show several times in the in

180
00:11:36,090 --> 00:11:40,020
the in the whole history of just
wondering where he stands.

181
00:11:40,830 --> 00:11:43,980
The reason why I bring out a
feeling is because he's like the

182
00:11:43,980 --> 00:11:53,100
mainstream media's doctor. So is
he his takes a widely accepted.

183
00:11:53,250 --> 00:11:56,250
Okay, so so that's why I do
that. It's just a All right,

184
00:11:56,250 --> 00:12:03,360
good, is a good center, center.
Balanced to take on certain

185
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,350
things. Okay. So he talks about
fear, frustration, and

186
00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:10,650
uncertainty, I think was the
third thing he said. That is the

187
00:12:10,650 --> 00:12:16,860
thing. And it's the constant
calculation of I can't seem too

188
00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:21,360
angry. I can't I couldn't stand
up and have a Jerry Maguire kind

189
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:27,030
of rant. Because that will be
taken differently. We remember

190
00:12:27,060 --> 00:12:27,390
the movie.

191
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,810
Well, yeah, I was gonna say yet
yet. Cuba. Gooding Jr. pulled it

192
00:12:30,810 --> 00:12:32,370
off perfectly, and everybody
loved it.

193
00:12:33,450 --> 00:12:38,460
Right. But that's mean, but just
wait, how Jerry Maguire stood up

194
00:12:38,460 --> 00:12:39,150
in the office?

195
00:12:39,630 --> 00:12:42,270
Ah, I see what you're saying.
Right. Right.

196
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:47,219
That's probably gonna get you in
cuffs carried out to carry out

197
00:12:47,219 --> 00:12:51,509
the building. But yeah, I mean,
I have to talk about this,

198
00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:52,139
because,

199
00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:56,280
but that is also a that is a
preconceived notion. I mean, you

200
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,160
say that, and I'm agreeing with
it, I guess. But I don't know

201
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,740
that that kind of depends on the
office, you know? Yes. And I am

202
00:13:04,770 --> 00:13:06,960
totally on board with you. I'm
not going to fight you. But

203
00:13:06,990 --> 00:13:09,930
there are some circumstances
where that would be very

204
00:13:09,930 --> 00:13:12,600
appropriate. And skin color
would make any difference.

205
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:16,560
And this is the thing. This is
not exclusive. As I always say,

206
00:13:16,830 --> 00:13:20,730
it starts with us. Now what
you're seeing is the anger of

207
00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:24,960
other people. Yeah, no, they're
getting fed up. And one of the

208
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,730
most, I don't wanna say passive,
but greenblue set of people in

209
00:13:29,730 --> 00:13:30,900
this world are Canadians.

210
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:34,950
Oh, man, I was talking to one
this morning. Yes, yes, they

211
00:13:34,950 --> 00:13:39,420
are. They're very kind people,
their, their typical mode of

212
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:45,600
protesting is to grouse. They
complain, right? That's all they

213
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,550
do. Usually what? Oh, yeah.

214
00:13:47,580 --> 00:13:51,180
This you see what's happening
there. Now. Yeah, this is, this

215
00:13:51,180 --> 00:13:56,070
is big. When you when you push
people into a corner, it's like,

216
00:13:56,070 --> 00:13:59,580
Okay, I'll take that. I'll take
that. I'll take that now. When

217
00:13:59,580 --> 00:14:02,400
you when you start affecting the
way that I feed my kids and my

218
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,110
family, and not only the way you
feed them, but it affects the

219
00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:13,170
status in your home. You know, I
mean, because like if you're not

220
00:14:13,170 --> 00:14:16,110
a provider, yeah, I mean, like
the two main modes is like

221
00:14:16,110 --> 00:14:20,520
protector and provider. So it
kind of kneecaps you on the

222
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,090
provider side of it. And then
that starts to cause turmoil

223
00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:27,870
inside the home or creates an
environment for turmoil and that

224
00:14:27,870 --> 00:14:30,780
kind of thing to grow. Yeah. So
and that and this is where no

225
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:34,140
man house comes in. So we got to
start looking at these things

226
00:14:34,140 --> 00:14:39,660
and say, what's going on tell
you tell you that it starts with

227
00:14:39,690 --> 00:14:43,920
us. But now you're starting to
see the impact of the state. And

228
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,660
how was trying to leverage
yourself as the de facto father?

229
00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:52,290
Yep. We'll take removing the
providing portion of the Father,

230
00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:55,829
right. Which is like say and
then that you're sitting around

231
00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:59,789
the house all day. And then
you're angry and you're stressed

232
00:14:59,789 --> 00:15:04,709
out And you're frustrated, and
then that makes you even tougher

233
00:15:04,709 --> 00:15:08,129
to deal with. And then it
destabilizes anymore. And it

234
00:15:08,129 --> 00:15:11,249
becomes this complete cycle. And
then it's like, there's really

235
00:15:11,249 --> 00:15:17,219
nobody you can talk to, um,
about your problems, because one

236
00:15:17,219 --> 00:15:21,509
of the things about I'm just
gonna say about black people is

237
00:15:21,779 --> 00:15:24,629
the two sources where we do a
lot of talking at the lunch

238
00:15:24,629 --> 00:15:28,919
table. And the barber shop.
Yeah, which these two things

239
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:31,619
have been taken away from us.
Because you can't go to work.

240
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:35,099
One because we were work from
home, a lot of us and then two

241
00:15:35,129 --> 00:15:38,579
can have one job, you don't have
a job anymore period. Right? And

242
00:15:38,579 --> 00:15:41,129
then you can't go to the
barbershop either. Right,

243
00:15:41,129 --> 00:15:44,309
because it's by appointment.
It's one at a time due to the

244
00:15:44,489 --> 00:15:45,479
COVID rules. So

245
00:15:45,479 --> 00:15:46,799
they cut off your CNN.

246
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,290
What they cut off are your your
communications line. What not

247
00:15:52,290 --> 00:15:54,690
even communication that sense,
but like, that's where you get

248
00:15:54,690 --> 00:15:58,020
stuff out. Yeah, right. Right.
Right. Right. Right. The gods

249
00:15:58,020 --> 00:16:01,140
kind of sit around the table.
About stuff. Yeah, exactly.

250
00:16:01,140 --> 00:16:03,780
Yeah, here. Yeah. So you take
those two modes away from

251
00:16:03,780 --> 00:16:08,100
people, and it's like, what do
you have left? Witter, right,

252
00:16:08,310 --> 00:16:13,050
well, that pressure that causes
a negative, that's a negative

253
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,580
course, course very negative. So
what I want to get into now is

254
00:16:17,580 --> 00:16:21,150
the set of clips, and this is
from the 1960s. And it's a black

255
00:16:21,150 --> 00:16:24,270
man. He's an older black man,
it's gonna matter cuz I got a

256
00:16:24,270 --> 00:16:28,050
younger black man that we heard
before. But I want to listen to

257
00:16:28,530 --> 00:16:32,400
the frustrations of older black
man in his 60s when they try to

258
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,300
be part of America. But it ends
up coming out as anger.

259
00:16:37,470 --> 00:16:40,470
I don't agree with a moderator
No, Reverend Robinson, that we

260
00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:44,730
want some kind of agreement. We
want to be a method by which we

261
00:16:44,730 --> 00:16:54,480
can live. You. I have spoken to
you a lot of times and hatred

262
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,770
and anger, and you have not
heard me. Well, you had better

263
00:16:58,770 --> 00:17:04,230
hear me today is because you
consider me Vagabond leader that

264
00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:09,360
I'm not to speak here. Well, you
have cut those neckties off of

265
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:13,290
them black boys that you put in
our district, because they don't

266
00:17:13,290 --> 00:17:17,340
know what's happening. And I'm
from the pits of nigga Hill. And

267
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:22,890
I know what's happening. If you
won't listen to me, when I make

268
00:17:22,890 --> 00:17:27,390
an appeal for the negroes,
because you have no concern for

269
00:17:27,390 --> 00:17:31,260
the negros. Listen to me when
I'm making an appeal of America.

270
00:17:32,460 --> 00:17:34,590
You claim you love America.

271
00:17:41,310 --> 00:17:45,030
But you are driving us back in
your Megillah Samson out of us,

272
00:17:45,180 --> 00:17:47,400
and we are going to burn down
the bill.

273
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,140
Wow, do you know where that was
or who that was?

274
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,880
I don't know who it was. But he
was speaking to council meeting.

275
00:17:57,180 --> 00:18:01,410
And he was a community leader. I
was saying that. That's why I

276
00:18:01,410 --> 00:18:04,080
say you should consider me a
vagabond leader. Because he

277
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,690
wasn't a part of the structure,
right? You're saying and he was

278
00:18:06,690 --> 00:18:12,420
just venting? Like, no, we we
love America just like everybody

279
00:18:12,420 --> 00:18:18,030
else does. But at that time, it
was based off a race. But now at

280
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:24,300
this time, we're hearing the
similar sentiments at these town

281
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:27,060
hall meetings and things of that
nature. So what I'm just saying

282
00:18:27,060 --> 00:18:31,470
is just showing examples of it
started with us. And now we're

283
00:18:31,470 --> 00:18:36,210
seeing it happen as predicted,
as predicted all over the world

284
00:18:36,210 --> 00:18:41,610
and people are being
pressurized. And anger can be a

285
00:18:41,610 --> 00:18:46,830
very destructive force, if left
unattended either personally or

286
00:18:46,830 --> 00:18:54,060
to society itself. And as we
were saying that the reason I

287
00:18:54,060 --> 00:18:56,760
want to go back a little bit to
the last show and what we talked

288
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,360
about lynching and
depressurization, and, and fear

289
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:03,360
mongering, that kind of thing.
And it left the door open for

290
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:06,810
the Russians to say, hey,
America has problems. Yeah,

291
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,830
let's, let's explore it that
let's give it gas. Let's feed

292
00:19:10,830 --> 00:19:15,420
it. That's what he's saying
here. And it's not that, you

293
00:19:15,420 --> 00:19:20,940
know, people are trying to work
with outside groups. And you

294
00:19:20,940 --> 00:19:24,120
know, that was the first choice
is like you left me no choice.

295
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,080
Right? Is that making sense? Of
course, of course.

296
00:19:28,110 --> 00:19:28,950
Of course it does.

297
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:35,340
And so now that's why you hear
people like I'm considering

298
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:38,700
like, well, that doesn't seem
like that bad of an option. If

299
00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:41,820
this is if this is the way the
system is gonna go. Maybe we

300
00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:45,360
need to consider something else.
And that's a very dangerous

301
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:50,850
thought to allow to linger for a
country or nation.

302
00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:53,910
Absolutely. Just happening
everywhere except for the UK

303
00:19:53,910 --> 00:19:59,370
where they just said screw it.
Yeah, oh, everything's good.

304
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,310
So I don't like I said, I'm
Portlandia out is the anger,

305
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:14,040
anger is a real emotion is, um,
it is. It manifests itself in

306
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,300
different ways. You have the
simmering anger. And I would say

307
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,620
that's where my has been at.

308
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,760
That's very, very unhealthy. To
keep things in is very, very

309
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,530
unhealthy. You know that of
course,

310
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,880
I do know that. But then at the
same time, you had to keep up

311
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,270
with a call keep up errs. Right?
You have to seem like everything

312
00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:37,380
is okay. You can't let the kids
know, which is what dads do.

313
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,370
Right. And that's what kills
you. Yes,

314
00:20:41,490 --> 00:20:44,550
yes, of course. Of course.
That's universal. And that's

315
00:20:44,550 --> 00:20:45,600
certainly for men.

316
00:20:46,470 --> 00:20:50,850
Yes. And that's why men are
saying, in general die younger

317
00:20:51,210 --> 00:20:55,260
than women. And that's why black
men are the lowest on the life

318
00:20:55,260 --> 00:21:00,540
expectancy, right? Because one
either, you haven't obtained

319
00:21:00,540 --> 00:21:05,130
success in America. And that
makes you stew. Or you have

320
00:21:05,130 --> 00:21:09,090
attained success in America in
isolation. Right? Because it

321
00:21:09,090 --> 00:21:13,830
says is a very isolating thing.
I mean, you probably know I

322
00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:17,340
mean, because you're always
wondering, like, Why can't let

323
00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:19,560
on it, you know, something's
going on. Because yeah,

324
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,470
until I started being honest,
and doing podcasts, and then it

325
00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:27,120
became really easy. I am who I
am no phony, no fake. No hidden

326
00:21:27,150 --> 00:21:30,210
no trap doors, you know, that's,
that's what we're has probably

327
00:21:30,210 --> 00:21:30,870
saved me.

328
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,920
And I'm glad you made that
point. Because this right here,

329
00:21:35,430 --> 00:21:39,570
this coming and speaking on it,
three or four hours, and then

330
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,200
you know what I do
independently, that is the best

331
00:21:43,230 --> 00:21:48,360
outlet possible to kind of take
the lid off the pot a little

332
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:49,920
bit. And let's I'm going to
steam out.

333
00:21:50,010 --> 00:21:53,730
And now Now, especially since we
know the final conclusion of

334
00:21:53,730 --> 00:21:57,120
your work situation. Now, you
know, you're really free to

335
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:57,600
speak.

336
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,710
Right? But the fact that I was
left lingering, and I keep using

337
00:22:01,710 --> 00:22:07,590
this word for so long, that adds
to the anger that asked to the

338
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:11,400
like, seriously, like, I mean,
you wake up, I mean, cuz like,

339
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,820
Okay, I'm just gonna give people
how I went through the process.

340
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:18,450
You get the letter you like,
wow, you're saying, okay, that

341
00:22:18,450 --> 00:22:22,830
happened. And then it's okay.
Okay. All right. Well, this

342
00:22:22,830 --> 00:22:28,470
frees me, which it does. And
it's like, oh, I didn't do

343
00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:32,820
anything wrong. No, that's,
that's the part like, I'm not

344
00:22:32,820 --> 00:22:36,360
gonna see if I was slacking off
at work or, you know, made a

345
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:39,420
mistake or that kind of thing.
You could justify or rationalize

346
00:22:39,420 --> 00:22:42,750
it, when you've done nothing
except, say, you don't want to

347
00:22:42,780 --> 00:22:48,750
take part in mass mind control.
No offense to anybody, you're

348
00:22:48,750 --> 00:22:52,530
saying that took it, but it's
like, I don't want to do it. And

349
00:22:52,530 --> 00:22:55,320
this is where the rights thing
comes in. It's the same thing.

350
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,460
It's the same feeling is like,
if, if I don't comply, right,

351
00:22:59,460 --> 00:23:06,720
you can end me at any time. And
like I said, this is where that

352
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,330
mechanism bleeds over to
everybody.

353
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,660
Well, what know what happened
with it was under the surface,

354
00:23:15,990 --> 00:23:18,810
you know, it was just under
surface, it's there. And then

355
00:23:18,810 --> 00:23:24,450
it's like, wow, like, you really
did something to me that I had

356
00:23:24,450 --> 00:23:26,400
no, you know, no recourse.

357
00:23:26,670 --> 00:23:31,620
no control over it, right. It's
very, that's hard for men.

358
00:23:32,580 --> 00:23:35,460
That's the frustrating part is
like, I mean, I'm not worried

359
00:23:35,460 --> 00:23:37,590
about the future, because the
future is gonna be what its

360
00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:41,220
gonna be. But it's like you can
come in and flipped my life

361
00:23:41,250 --> 00:23:45,600
upside down on a whim. And I
don't think the rest of America

362
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,540
in the West rest of the world
understood what that was like,

363
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,180
well, people who neglect the
people who understand it, or the

364
00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:52,770
truckers? Yes,

365
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,140
that's what I'm saying. That
people are going

366
00:23:55,140 --> 00:23:58,410
Oh, okay. I see. Yeah, they're
not happy. No, they got big

367
00:23:58,410 --> 00:24:00,240
trucks. We need them.

368
00:24:01,290 --> 00:24:03,750
And that's the thing. I mean, so
that's why I'm saying every,

369
00:24:03,780 --> 00:24:08,370
it's a great opportunity for
empathy. Because now people can

370
00:24:08,370 --> 00:24:15,420
see the it's not that the action
is the threat is the underlying

371
00:24:15,420 --> 00:24:18,960
well, when is when is the other
shoe gonna drop? Right? Which,

372
00:24:18,990 --> 00:24:22,770
when when? actly right. And I'm
not speaking for all black

373
00:24:22,770 --> 00:24:26,040
people, but I can speak for
myself as my black experience.

374
00:24:26,910 --> 00:24:30,270
You're always waiting for the
other shoe to drop, even though

375
00:24:30,270 --> 00:24:35,670
you don't say it, even though
it's not communicated is when

376
00:24:35,670 --> 00:24:38,520
things are going really good.
Like they were I mean, I'll just

377
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,780
look back. I mean, a year ago, I
was moving into my new home. I

378
00:24:42,780 --> 00:24:45,810
had a podcast going I was
gainfully employed, you know,

379
00:24:45,810 --> 00:24:48,570
everything was on the up and up.
And then it's like, you know,

380
00:24:48,570 --> 00:24:53,880
what? We, we as a society, are
we as they we want to switch

381
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,300
things up. Yeah, we just want to
shake things up. And it's like,

382
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,460
you realize the repercussions If
we don't care, you know, if you

383
00:25:02,460 --> 00:25:08,070
don't want to comply to whatever
we say is right. So be it. It's

384
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:10,920
your fault. It's like it was put
back on you, it's your fault

385
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,780
that you didn't comply. So what
I'm saying is this doesn't have

386
00:25:15,780 --> 00:25:19,260
to really do anything with race,
but what it did was tap into

387
00:25:19,260 --> 00:25:26,430
that ratio. subconsciousness
there. Gotcha. So let's go ahead

388
00:25:26,430 --> 00:25:27,090
and get into this

389
00:25:27,150 --> 00:25:30,300
guy. Yeah, no, I totally I
totally understand. That's

390
00:25:30,330 --> 00:25:32,070
triggering, as all hell.

391
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,120
Right? And then, but then, it's
a lot going on, because it's

392
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:39,060
like, well, I can't say anything
about it, because I don't want

393
00:25:39,060 --> 00:25:41,790
to seem like a complainer. And
honestly, I really don't have

394
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:45,180
anything to complain about
compared to others. But then you

395
00:25:45,180 --> 00:25:47,430
go back to them in the loop
again, it's like, but I didn't

396
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:48,180
do anything.

397
00:25:48,450 --> 00:25:54,810
Yeah, it's unfair. I know, it's
unjust. The minute the minute

398
00:25:54,810 --> 00:25:57,660
you say that just this unfair.
It's like, oh, man, okay. Well,

399
00:25:57,660 --> 00:25:59,130
there it is. It's done. But

400
00:25:59,130 --> 00:26:02,250
then that but the natural thing
is for people to say suck it up.

401
00:26:03,060 --> 00:26:05,880
Suck It Up Your man suck it up.
You know, that's the that's the

402
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:10,830
I there was a an interesting
video in Ottawa and one resident

403
00:26:10,830 --> 00:26:13,590
and the residents of Ottawa, of
course, flipping out because

404
00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:17,970
it's just noise and horn honking
for days. And one guy is just

405
00:26:17,970 --> 00:26:20,730
flipping out, and he's yelling
at the truck driver, and the

406
00:26:20,730 --> 00:26:22,890
truck drivers like, Hey, man,
but we just want all the

407
00:26:22,890 --> 00:26:26,430
mandates gone. And the guy says,
and this kind of shows you and

408
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:31,140
and I understand, I can totally
humanize him. He says, but

409
00:26:31,140 --> 00:26:34,980
that's just for people to go to
their job, that's not a full on

410
00:26:34,980 --> 00:26:37,770
mandate you they're not jabbing
it in your arm, I thought, wow,

411
00:26:37,770 --> 00:26:41,490
this guy just doesn't get it.
And and, you know, there's,

412
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,330
there's a level of
misunderstanding when you're not

413
00:26:45,330 --> 00:26:46,500
affected by something.

414
00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:51,990
And that's the dangerous to say,
well, it was your choice.

415
00:26:52,140 --> 00:26:56,190
Exactly. It's like, what choice
did you give me? No, I don't

416
00:26:56,190 --> 00:26:59,340
trust this. You know, whatever
you're trying to give me

417
00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:02,100
whatever it is just fill in the
blanks. I don't trust that, that

418
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:04,980
path forward. And I don't want
to participate in it. So it's

419
00:27:04,980 --> 00:27:09,810
like, okay, well, let me just
say snatch your, your means of

420
00:27:10,410 --> 00:27:13,080
being a provider away from you
and see if that gets you in

421
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,310
line. See, this is the this is
the book breaking mentality of

422
00:27:17,310 --> 00:27:20,850
this vac situation. It's like,
why don't you just sit on it for

423
00:27:20,850 --> 00:27:23,760
a while? Can you come back and
see if you got your senses

424
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,630
together? That's it pretty much.
Did Yeah. Right. And they're

425
00:27:27,630 --> 00:27:31,560
just gonna try to break you. And
it's like, well, I'm not gonna

426
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,120
break cuz I'm standing on my
principles. But it also opened,

427
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,790
like I said, it puts you in an
awkward situation, because

428
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,360
you've destabilize a lot of
man's position in their home,

429
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,270
the amount of emails I've
received, particularly from New

430
00:27:45,270 --> 00:27:50,850
Zealand, and Australia, from
men, who, you know, they just

431
00:27:50,850 --> 00:27:54,750
email me and they say, dude,
like, I got to feed my family

432
00:27:54,750 --> 00:27:57,810
now. It's like, I'm gonna have
to take this damn thing. It's

433
00:27:57,810 --> 00:28:01,050
heartbreaking. But if that's
what they always say, I got to

434
00:28:01,050 --> 00:28:01,830
feed my family.

435
00:28:02,910 --> 00:28:06,990
And now we see about when we
talk about, and I said, this is

436
00:28:07,020 --> 00:28:11,970
for all men, this show is, but
it specifically I have to talk

437
00:28:11,970 --> 00:28:17,970
about the racial aspect of it,
because there is that underlying

438
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,760
dormant ratio programming.
That's just that a lot of us

439
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,060
have that this situation
triggered, or you know, saying,

440
00:28:27,090 --> 00:28:28,320
or it can trigger

441
00:28:28,619 --> 00:28:33,329
windows and then throw in, for
some reason, all of a sudden, at

442
00:28:33,509 --> 00:28:40,319
historically, black colleges and
universities are getting bomb

443
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:45,419
threats. Just to sprinkle some
shit on top, you know, like, one

444
00:28:45,419 --> 00:28:46,199
does that thing.

445
00:28:47,070 --> 00:28:51,090
And then on top of that you
factor in? Oh, well, we need a

446
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:56,250
woman, Supreme Court justice.
Black one, right. So all these

447
00:28:56,250 --> 00:29:01,440
things is like, it's all feeds
into it of this boogeyman

448
00:29:01,470 --> 00:29:04,170
because it might not be real. I
mean, like I said, it might be

449
00:29:04,170 --> 00:29:08,460
just in our heads, but you can't
fear. Fear, you're something

450
00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:12,810
that fear can make you sick.
Right and in and if even if it's

451
00:29:12,810 --> 00:29:14,730
not real, doesn't mean it's not
impactful.

452
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:21,450
I was talking to a guy from
Nigeria yesterday. It was funny,

453
00:29:21,450 --> 00:29:23,970
because you know, the power went
out right in the middle of who

454
00:29:23,970 --> 00:29:26,940
they were. He was part of a
podcast interviewing me. And he

455
00:29:26,940 --> 00:29:29,430
had his stuff on batteries. And
so that's just life in Nigeria.

456
00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:33,180
And I said, So how to go in
Nigeria with COVID. He said,

457
00:29:33,210 --> 00:29:37,350
Ma'am, it's like, totally like
nothing. No one knows anyone who

458
00:29:37,350 --> 00:29:40,110
died and he says, we already
know the government's corrupt.

459
00:29:40,380 --> 00:29:43,350
He says it's not even from the
anti malarial drugs. We just

460
00:29:43,350 --> 00:29:46,230
weren't afraid of shit. You got
it. You know, you had it for a

461
00:29:46,230 --> 00:29:49,800
few days, and then you're better
and he says, I know 500 1000

462
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,760
people. I don't know anybody who
died from it. And I said, that's

463
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,750
crazy, because I know at least
five princesses from Nigeria. I

464
00:29:57,750 --> 00:30:01,890
can't believe that you don't You
don't know anybody who died from

465
00:30:01,890 --> 00:30:02,430
COVID.

466
00:30:03,629 --> 00:30:06,539
And that's the other thing is
like that feeds into the no SIBO

467
00:30:06,539 --> 00:30:09,059
effect. And that's why I'm
talking about fear. Yeah, fear

468
00:30:09,059 --> 00:30:14,189
can definitely have some
definite, it can manifest things

469
00:30:14,399 --> 00:30:17,429
once you start to harp on it,
because I'm a firm believer that

470
00:30:17,879 --> 00:30:20,999
everything begins in the mind.
Right? So when you start to

471
00:30:20,999 --> 00:30:26,579
think, and it's those, we start
to think, and you you're

472
00:30:26,579 --> 00:30:31,409
thinking, thoughts that are not
controlled, but it's just like

473
00:30:31,409 --> 00:30:34,739
your mind is running away with
itself. That's when you get in

474
00:30:34,739 --> 00:30:38,459
some serious danger. Yep. So
let's just go ahead and get to

475
00:30:38,459 --> 00:30:39,929
the second part of this here

476
00:30:39,930 --> 00:30:42,750
some more angry black man. Yes,
this is this is wonderful.

477
00:30:44,730 --> 00:30:53,280
Again, I'm crazy. Because
America to be saved. Rights that

478
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:58,740
goes on in this country in the
city is better than Pittsburgh.

479
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:07,800
And then you think we have no
right? To ask for something? Is

480
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:14,160
it too much? To ask you to grant
us human dignity? Should we be

481
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:19,410
put down and shot to death? For
this request? Info, you can aim

482
00:31:19,410 --> 00:31:26,010
your guns? What the hell do you
think we care about dying? If

483
00:31:26,010 --> 00:31:28,290
you're going to deny the right
to live?

484
00:31:29,250 --> 00:31:31,560
Yeah, man, you don't see you
don't see stuff like that often

485
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:32,070
anymore?

486
00:31:32,460 --> 00:31:37,560
And that's that last line? What
do we care about dying? If you

487
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:42,120
don't want to give us the right
to lead? Right? I want everybody

488
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:47,910
to keep that in mind. When you.
When I put mice, my anger is

489
00:31:47,910 --> 00:31:53,610
just coming from the audacity
and the power. That someone can

490
00:31:53,610 --> 00:31:57,300
make a decision that impacts
someone just because of what

491
00:31:57,300 --> 00:32:00,240
they won't do not because of
what they will do, if I took

492
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:04,710
action, or what they did do, or
do or what they did do. If I had

493
00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:07,800
taken action, I was sad. They
deserved it, you know, saying I

494
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,550
would have got over it. But the
fact was like, wow, like so near

495
00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:15,270
me, you start to wonder, what's
next? Are they going to come for

496
00:32:15,270 --> 00:32:18,300
your kids? Are they going to
come for your freedom to move

497
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:21,180
around? Or, you know, all these
other things start to come?

498
00:32:21,180 --> 00:32:24,270
Because like, wow, if you took
it this far, how far are you

499
00:32:24,270 --> 00:32:29,520
willing to take it? I mean, that
creates a very unhealthy place

500
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,540
in your headspace headspace to
be in. And now I'm being just

501
00:32:33,540 --> 00:32:36,690
completely honest, and
transparent with everyone.

502
00:32:36,990 --> 00:32:41,820
Because hopefully, somebody in
this same space will not feel

503
00:32:41,820 --> 00:32:43,380
alone and isolated.

504
00:32:43,619 --> 00:32:48,179
I think we all feel that way. I
mean, I I'm in a different place

505
00:32:48,179 --> 00:32:52,289
than you a my life in general.
But I've just turned it into my

506
00:32:52,289 --> 00:32:57,089
vocation. It's like it to deal
with it. And this is this is the

507
00:32:57,089 --> 00:33:02,789
honest truth. I prefer to
engross myself in the details,

508
00:33:02,999 --> 00:33:06,299
try and find figure out what the
next move is, what's being done,

509
00:33:06,299 --> 00:33:11,579
why it's being done. And that
that's how I process any anger

510
00:33:11,579 --> 00:33:15,629
that might crop up. I really
don't have any, even though like

511
00:33:15,629 --> 00:33:18,629
you everyone has a reason to be
angry. And what's next and what

512
00:33:18,629 --> 00:33:22,079
the hell if they did this? What
can happen next, I'm also in

513
00:33:22,079 --> 00:33:25,469
Texas that does make I'm not in
Austin, let's put it that way.

514
00:33:25,469 --> 00:33:31,109
In Austin, I was unhappy. I was
very unhappy during during the

515
00:33:31,139 --> 00:33:33,359
the heavier restrictions which
are still in place, you know,

516
00:33:33,359 --> 00:33:36,239
they're trying to keep them in
place in Austin. So that's

517
00:33:36,239 --> 00:33:39,119
understood. And everyone finds a
way to deal with it. I'm

518
00:33:39,149 --> 00:33:39,929
unfortunate.

519
00:33:41,460 --> 00:33:44,760
And wouldn't the real issue is
it's not about the money. It's

520
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,850
not about any because money can
be made. I mean, this is this is

521
00:33:47,850 --> 00:33:50,790
a world where money just moves
around. If you're saying you

522
00:33:50,790 --> 00:33:54,060
have a plan, you can get money.
So it's not about that. It's

523
00:33:54,060 --> 00:34:00,660
about the power that you know, a
group of people have over your

524
00:34:00,660 --> 00:34:05,100
personal freedoms. That's where
the rubber meets the road. And

525
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:10,140
then the deepest, the
destabilizing effect it has, and

526
00:34:10,170 --> 00:34:14,910
just the callous way it was
done. Um, no. How do you just

527
00:34:14,910 --> 00:34:20,430
throw people away and say, Well,
when you get your mind, right,

528
00:34:20,970 --> 00:34:24,300
we'll have a spot for you. You
know, when you learn to know

529
00:34:24,300 --> 00:34:27,780
your place, and you come to a
spot from when you come here,

530
00:34:27,810 --> 00:34:31,170
right? That's exactly right. And
this is where we've been saying

531
00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:34,620
this for a long time about men
and dresses, specifically black

532
00:34:34,620 --> 00:34:39,090
men and dresses in Hollywood.
He's like, this is this is what

533
00:34:39,090 --> 00:34:43,320
you put on the dress moment.
This is David Shapiro. Right,

534
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,040
right. He's the dress. Come on,
Dave, you know, saying it's

535
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,430
funny. Yeah, you know, that kind
of thing. Like, come on. It's

536
00:34:50,430 --> 00:34:53,580
just a needle. Just a little
prick. It's a little.

537
00:34:54,210 --> 00:34:57,570
It's crazy. It's crazy. Right?
So

538
00:34:57,630 --> 00:35:01,350
when you do that, you're gonna
trigger Some of the ratio

539
00:35:01,350 --> 00:35:04,710
programming because I'm not
immune to it, I mean, I deal

540
00:35:04,710 --> 00:35:07,920
with it probably better than
most. But I'm not immune to any

541
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,450
kind of was just another one

542
00:35:09,450 --> 00:35:12,330
of those things they didn't
really take into consideration.

543
00:35:13,019 --> 00:35:15,719
Right so that now you're
starting to see why.

544
00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:19,110
Especially from from the party
that's in charge that loves

545
00:35:19,110 --> 00:35:20,190
black people Mo.

546
00:35:20,790 --> 00:35:24,840
Well, now we're seeing at least
out of them. They love you, as

547
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,440
long as you're doing what they
asked you to do. When you don't,

548
00:35:28,470 --> 00:35:32,670
that's when we get to see the
real true colors come out. Yeah,

549
00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:35,280
it's like, well, don't let them
move around. Don't let me Don't

550
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,680
let him go to grocery stores.
Don't let them you know,

551
00:35:37,709 --> 00:35:41,909
maybe Canada and Canada,
literally, you're in the grocery

552
00:35:41,909 --> 00:35:45,659
store. If you're unpacked, you
can only go into the produce

553
00:35:45,659 --> 00:35:51,329
aisle and get food you can't get
by, you know, a shovel, or a hat

554
00:35:51,389 --> 00:35:54,899
or underwear. You they they
chaperone, you make sure you

555
00:35:54,899 --> 00:35:56,099
don't go there.

556
00:35:57,090 --> 00:36:02,190
Now tell me if that's that
that's a ritual of humiliation?

557
00:36:02,220 --> 00:36:03,180
Sure is.

558
00:36:03,270 --> 00:36:07,020
It's not a function because you
mean, the Cuf can't be on it

559
00:36:07,050 --> 00:36:11,730
out. I mean, what are you saying
this is? It's Yeah, exactly. And

560
00:36:11,730 --> 00:36:15,420
when you start to humiliate
somebody, it's like, oh, okay,

561
00:36:15,420 --> 00:36:18,840
this is personal. But this is
this. I mean, you could take I

562
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,630
mean, they might not mean it
this person. But it's gonna be

563
00:36:21,630 --> 00:36:24,780
taking this person who's like,
why would you do that? They say

564
00:36:24,780 --> 00:36:28,800
you can't go by, you know,
certain goods. If you're not,

565
00:36:28,860 --> 00:36:33,510
you're saying vaccines punitive
is obvious, right? And it's

566
00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:36,150
petty. And those are the things
like I said, those are the

567
00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:39,240
things that make people start to
lose their mind, right? Yep.

568
00:36:39,450 --> 00:36:44,730
Right. And now I have to do
this. Because with that anger,

569
00:36:44,730 --> 00:36:48,300
if you don't do something with
it, it will destroy you. So now

570
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:52,410
I want to get into getting some
therapy, and this is clip to a

571
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,310
Hi, I'm purpose Taylor, and
you're tuned into black man, did

572
00:36:56,310 --> 00:37:00,450
you some therapy. Today's topic
is anger. Anger at his core is a

573
00:37:00,450 --> 00:37:04,260
secondary emotion, the primary
emotion is hurt. Underneath the

574
00:37:04,260 --> 00:37:07,410
hurt is disappointment. And
underneath the disappointment is

575
00:37:07,410 --> 00:37:11,070
an expectation that hasn't been
met. Unfortunately, when we look

576
00:37:11,070 --> 00:37:14,940
at anger, anger feels like a
much more powerful emotion that

577
00:37:14,940 --> 00:37:18,360
we can display and is okay for
us to display and acknowledge

578
00:37:18,510 --> 00:37:21,480
the key word to acknowledge in
anger is just that,

579
00:37:21,630 --> 00:37:24,270
acknowledging it, in order for
one to acknowledge something

580
00:37:24,270 --> 00:37:27,000
they must be honest with
themselves. A lot of times we

581
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,120
try to present anger as if it's
something that doesn't exist, or

582
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,240
we'd like to bury it. The road
of anger can manifest itself

583
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:37,800
depends and varies, right
sometimes for us as men, anger

584
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,950
shows up in two ways in an
internal way, and also an

585
00:37:40,950 --> 00:37:45,450
external way. The way in which
we internalize anger may show up

586
00:37:45,450 --> 00:37:49,110
in some of our own self
destructive behaviors. Sometimes

587
00:37:49,110 --> 00:37:52,530
we hurt ourselves physically,
through self harm, self

588
00:37:52,530 --> 00:37:56,370
injurious behaviors, substance
use and substance abuse. And

589
00:37:56,370 --> 00:37:59,550
some of the ways in which we
externalize anger can be in the

590
00:37:59,550 --> 00:38:03,720
ways in which we treat the ones
we love, or just strangers.

591
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,950
Sometimes it can show up in the
form of our own patients, how we

592
00:38:07,950 --> 00:38:11,580
talk to folks, our tonality,
sometimes even just our facial

593
00:38:11,580 --> 00:38:15,570
expressions, always tell people
that being angry is not what

594
00:38:15,570 --> 00:38:18,630
usually gets us in trouble. It's
how we manage our anger.

595
00:38:19,710 --> 00:38:24,000
Well, this is interesting. I'm a
big fan of therapy. I started I

596
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,970
did some therapy after my second
marriage like okay, let me just

597
00:38:26,970 --> 00:38:31,290
check a few things here. I think
men in general are getting more

598
00:38:31,290 --> 00:38:34,320
used to the idea of this guy
have a podcast as a YouTube or

599
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,370
where's he doing this? This

600
00:38:35,370 --> 00:38:38,550
is actual podcast called brother
get your black man get you some

601
00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:39,030
therapy and

602
00:38:39,510 --> 00:38:42,300
he needs to get him some sound
advice, which I'd be happy to

603
00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:44,730
help him with. Because I like
it.

604
00:38:45,390 --> 00:38:48,870
It was terrible quality. But
yeah, it was important message.

605
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,400
But it's lost due to the
quality.

606
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,500
Not lost. But you know, you get
my point there, but I'm for

607
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:58,110
this. Is there a stigma on this
in with black men?

608
00:38:58,830 --> 00:39:04,770
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Not stigma
in this. The stigma is going to

609
00:39:04,770 --> 00:39:08,070
lay on somebody's couch. Yeah,
and that don't poke around in

610
00:39:08,070 --> 00:39:08,580
your brain.

611
00:39:09,900 --> 00:39:14,970
That's that's that's not exactly
how it works. No. Perception

612
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:15,420
Yes. I

613
00:39:15,419 --> 00:39:17,969
got your perception of the stick
that's this thing Yeah, I got

614
00:39:17,969 --> 00:39:21,059
now like I said before going to
talk to your friends at the

615
00:39:21,059 --> 00:39:24,659
lunch table. Or the barber shop
you know barber shop or your

616
00:39:24,659 --> 00:39:25,319
barber you

617
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,410
get some older guy who's there
and can say some wise shit.

618
00:39:28,830 --> 00:39:33,450
Exactly. In church. That was the
other thing. Cut off make sure

619
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,110
you cut that off. They cut the
church off they cut the barber

620
00:39:37,110 --> 00:39:38,760
shop off and then they cut the
job off.

621
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,720
And the next day just cut your
dick off.

622
00:39:43,230 --> 00:39:46,740
Is it isn't it? Well, that I
mean, we know stress and notes

623
00:39:46,740 --> 00:39:48,030
kind of thing and had to fix on
that.

624
00:39:49,470 --> 00:39:51,960
Literally, something you want to
talk about mode when

625
00:39:54,420 --> 00:39:57,870
I'm saying is that's that's the
last thing you have left and

626
00:39:57,870 --> 00:40:03,840
then stress can even impact
that. So made up. Yeah. So my

627
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:09,510
point is this is this by design,
I may have to ask this question,

628
00:40:09,510 --> 00:40:14,670
you know? Are they trying to
pressurize people for a reason

629
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,970
to get a reaction because the
way I'm looking at this timeline

630
00:40:17,970 --> 00:40:23,220
is February now. Okay, so people
will probably have 234 months to

631
00:40:23,220 --> 00:40:26,220
savings right? You burn through
your savings Now here we're at

632
00:40:26,220 --> 00:40:30,300
summer we're at summer it gets
hot people get a little crazier

633
00:40:30,750 --> 00:40:33,150
people can go outside I mean
people are not really going

634
00:40:33,150 --> 00:40:36,480
outside now because it's 20
degrees you know saying but when

635
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,740
it starts to get hot and your
money gets low are we going to

636
00:40:40,740 --> 00:40:46,140
start seeing some things pop off
in cities? Where there's just

637
00:40:46,140 --> 00:40:48,360
somebody pissed at somebody
you're saying just pissed in

638
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,420
general and they pop off or
things like we

639
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,120
think that's our that's already
happened mo This is already

640
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,380
happening. This is already
happening this is I see the

641
00:40:58,380 --> 00:41:03,720
reports like Portland Oregon one
night and like nine shootings

642
00:41:04,530 --> 00:41:08,880
with with with deadly
consequences what you know, we

643
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,740
don't need it's interesting. So
okay, so first of all my my view

644
00:41:13,740 --> 00:41:16,500
yes, this is intentional. It's
all intentional. This is the

645
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:19,890
great reset I take these idiots
at their word, but when they say

646
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,460
they're going to do a some kind
of reset that you got to break

647
00:41:23,460 --> 00:41:27,030
shit to reset it that's that's
just I think that's what what we

648
00:41:27,060 --> 00:41:30,570
what is happening. And it's part
of the financial markets.

649
00:41:31,230 --> 00:41:36,510
There's a lot of the wire type
stuff going on with every real

650
00:41:36,510 --> 00:41:40,020
estate is the solution to
everything. You know, so you see

651
00:41:40,020 --> 00:41:42,750
neighborhoods destroyed
neighborhoods burned now all of

652
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:46,230
a sudden, developers go in it's
happening everywhere. I see it.

653
00:41:46,230 --> 00:41:48,750
I'm not stupid. The Wire open my
eyes. Really?

654
00:41:48,930 --> 00:41:54,210
The demolition is damn okay.
It's the Controlled Demolition

655
00:41:54,210 --> 00:41:59,310
through people. Yes, it's free.
It's free. It's like it's free

656
00:41:59,310 --> 00:42:01,650
demolition. It's like, let's
just make a man there, burn it

657
00:42:01,650 --> 00:42:04,320
up. And then we'll come back and
build it. Build it Back up.

658
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:10,680
So and well, I saw literally saw
the United Nations Secretary

659
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:16,470
General gortat us. He had a
tweet. And the tweet said, you

660
00:42:16,470 --> 00:42:20,970
know, here's the priorities for
the world. Basically, I won.

661
00:42:21,780 --> 00:42:31,080
Defeat COVID-19 To change the
financial system. What that's

662
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:35,250
what we're dealing with. So
something very big is going on.

663
00:42:35,700 --> 00:42:41,100
And yeah, I don't know if that
was what was the first part of

664
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:45,450
your question? Or what you were
really asking if this is on

665
00:42:45,450 --> 00:42:48,720
purpose? Yeah, so I think you're
right it's

666
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,960
that's what's happening to
everybody might see 19 Again, I

667
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,430
mean, we talked about the racial
right?

668
00:42:53,460 --> 00:42:57,750
Yes. Yes. I love that the racial
riots of night I brought it up

669
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:03,030
on no agenda Dvorak just he went
holy crap. Dense. Jago is primed

670
00:43:03,030 --> 00:43:03,570
for that.

671
00:43:03,900 --> 00:43:08,160
And when it starts to get hot
people's money start to get low

672
00:43:08,190 --> 00:43:12,030
add some Chem trails, right and
it not only that, then you add

673
00:43:12,030 --> 00:43:15,930
some Okay, now we can really go
out and protest because it's

674
00:43:15,930 --> 00:43:18,300
warm, it's hot. You're gonna
start I think you're gonna start

675
00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:19,380
seeing more

676
00:43:20,340 --> 00:43:21,120
loitering.

677
00:43:23,940 --> 00:43:26,430
But manda him saying you want to
see more pushback against the

678
00:43:26,430 --> 00:43:30,150
mandates, the one in DC was
large for years. And for

679
00:43:30,150 --> 00:43:32,760
something of that, you know,
just what it was. When it gets

680
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,330
hotter, you're gonna start
seeing more people come outside.

681
00:43:37,170 --> 00:43:42,330
Um, and this man did OSHA
mandate is not demanding issue.

682
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,990
That's not the case. But the
government did that, like I

683
00:43:45,990 --> 00:43:52,230
said, incur in collusion, to
coerce people. And it gave a tip

684
00:43:52,230 --> 00:43:55,680
to the hat to the corporation
that go ahead, we won't get in

685
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,400
your way. And that's where the
RIP for me that's where the real

686
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,590
anger comes in it because I
thought the government works for

687
00:44:01,590 --> 00:44:07,050
me. Theory and theory. Yeah, of
course. I mean, that's the

688
00:44:07,050 --> 00:44:10,290
that's the, that's that
underlying thing I'm talking

689
00:44:10,290 --> 00:44:13,950
about. It's like, yeah, we say
that when there's like, not a

690
00:44:13,950 --> 00:44:16,950
government on workforce, but now
it's being proven. So it's like,

691
00:44:16,980 --> 00:44:21,270
oh, wow, I was right, all along,
right. So I guess we can go

692
00:44:21,270 --> 00:44:22,770
ahead and get into part two of
this clip.

693
00:44:23,279 --> 00:44:26,099
A lot of times when people
usually get to that point, they

694
00:44:26,099 --> 00:44:29,879
usually explode. And it causes
them to act, or do things that

695
00:44:29,879 --> 00:44:33,239
they later regret. The point in
peaceful black men is that we

696
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,899
have a lot of Justified Anger
given the issues that are going

697
00:44:36,899 --> 00:44:39,869
on, but we don't want to hold on
to it. And we don't want to

698
00:44:39,869 --> 00:44:43,589
allow it to manifest in a way
that's detrimental to ourselves

699
00:44:43,859 --> 00:44:46,889
and the ones we love. We must
understand that anger can be

700
00:44:46,889 --> 00:44:50,639
destructive or constructive.
When it's destructive. We harm

701
00:44:50,639 --> 00:44:53,579
ourselves and we harm others.
When it's constructive, which is

702
00:44:53,579 --> 00:44:56,009
known as righteous indignation.
It can lead to change and

703
00:44:56,009 --> 00:44:59,309
transformation. It's not about
eliminating anger. It's about

704
00:44:59,309 --> 00:45:03,119
eliminating the destructive
nature of anger. We're emotional

705
00:45:03,119 --> 00:45:06,839
beings, anger, earmarks our
human experience. And in some

706
00:45:06,839 --> 00:45:12,119
cases, it can be used for good.
For example, Rosa Parks in her

707
00:45:12,119 --> 00:45:15,209
anger didn't give up her seat.
And that led to change and

708
00:45:15,209 --> 00:45:17,849
transformation and reformation
for us as black people.

709
00:45:18,210 --> 00:45:22,050
Yeah, I like this guy. And and I
will say just thinking about how

710
00:45:22,050 --> 00:45:24,480
you answer my question that
yeah, there's there's a stigma

711
00:45:24,510 --> 00:45:28,140
someone rooting around in your
mind. You can also say that is

712
00:45:28,140 --> 00:45:31,080
ignorance, you know, learn about
what therapy is and how it can

713
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,430
help you and a podcast like this
is obviously encouraging.

714
00:45:36,270 --> 00:45:39,630
Right, but I'll say there's two
things I want us one I want to

715
00:45:39,630 --> 00:45:45,570
point out the Rosa Park thing.
It Rosa was Ron parks. Yeah.

716
00:45:46,860 --> 00:45:51,300
Yeah. You see, I'm saying like
that is even then. It was we of

717
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:55,230
course, we know Rosa Parks was,
you know, was it was some staged

718
00:45:55,260 --> 00:45:56,130
something. Yeah,

719
00:45:56,130 --> 00:46:00,000
we know she was she it came two
weeks after for the PR after

720
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,320
a huge hurt with Hugo black and
saying was backing her. But

721
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,780
whatever you're saying, if that
would have been Ron Parkes

722
00:46:07,020 --> 00:46:09,240
instead of Rosen, yeah, that
would have had different

723
00:46:09,240 --> 00:46:11,640
different story outcome. Right.
So

724
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,090
now we have to have this
constant calculation in your

725
00:46:15,090 --> 00:46:18,900
head is like, what's the
acceptable level of anger? So

726
00:46:18,900 --> 00:46:24,030
what happens is, okay, you press
it down, press it down, press it

727
00:46:24,030 --> 00:46:28,560
down, press it down, and then we
explode them. Everybody's like,

728
00:46:28,590 --> 00:46:34,080
Oh, where'd that come from? He's
crazy. And it's like, no, I just

729
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:39,360
been eating shit for a long
time. And taking it. And, and,

730
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:45,300
man in general, if this today's
society is expect to suck it up,

731
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,470
take it, suck it up, you know,
if you saw exhibit any kind of

732
00:46:49,470 --> 00:46:52,230
behavior that was like,
aggressive, that's toxic

733
00:46:52,230 --> 00:46:55,500
masculinity, you know, that kind
of thing. So, yeah, we have this

734
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:59,340
powder keg of being pushed down.
And even toxic masculinity.

735
00:46:59,670 --> 00:47:04,620
That's always been the case for
black men. Because like I said,

736
00:47:04,650 --> 00:47:07,470
all all black male anger is
toxic, because what you're

737
00:47:07,470 --> 00:47:08,910
saying is perceived.

738
00:47:09,270 --> 00:47:12,300
Right? And then our
counterparts, the women is kind

739
00:47:12,300 --> 00:47:15,870
of celebrated that they can be
angry. Yeah, you go. Right.

740
00:47:16,350 --> 00:47:18,450
Right. Exactly. When you have
somebody go, I mean,

741
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:24,180
corporations actually look for
that trait. Because they can

742
00:47:24,180 --> 00:47:27,510
weaponize it, you know, for
their business to go in there be

743
00:47:27,510 --> 00:47:28,800
a Firestarter, you know?

744
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,630
Oh, but no, that's the
quintessential you know, our Oh,

745
00:47:33,630 --> 00:47:36,660
no, you didn't you know, that's,
that's cultural. Now, that's

746
00:47:36,660 --> 00:47:40,020
cultural across all racial lines
has just which is alright,

747
00:47:40,230 --> 00:47:41,400
respect for that woman.

748
00:47:41,820 --> 00:47:45,030
Correct. And you see, like, I
mean, because all all the time

749
00:47:45,030 --> 00:47:52,890
whenever there's a DMV scene, or
a black woman playing that role,

750
00:47:53,340 --> 00:47:56,550
to say what you're saying, yeah,
it's even baked into the

751
00:47:56,610 --> 00:48:02,070
archetype. Okay, for them to
have that kind of outbursts book

752
00:48:02,070 --> 00:48:05,580
for me. And it's like, even when
you raise your voice, and I've

753
00:48:05,580 --> 00:48:08,490
mentioned this before on the
show, even when I will be at

754
00:48:08,490 --> 00:48:11,760
work when I'm still physically
there in office. And I'll be mid

755
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,950
thought, and like you get a
scowl on your face when you're

756
00:48:13,950 --> 00:48:17,640
menthol. People come by See,
you're right. You're really

757
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,100
okay. Really. So you have to be

758
00:48:20,100 --> 00:48:25,230
conscious, even a passive deep
bass programming man is heavy on

759
00:48:25,230 --> 00:48:27,150
all sides on all sides.

760
00:48:27,630 --> 00:48:32,520
It's not it's not just American.
I'm talking about people that

761
00:48:32,610 --> 00:48:35,700
are all over the world. Sure.
That will come to you. Okay.

762
00:48:35,850 --> 00:48:36,870
You're everything all right.

763
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,290
Oh, man. Whoa, most got that.
koonta Kintyre look, again,

764
00:48:40,290 --> 00:48:43,110
everybody. Okay, back up. Right.

765
00:48:47,820 --> 00:48:53,220
Right. So, but that's, that's a
real fear. And I don't want to

766
00:48:53,220 --> 00:48:54,600
belabor the point, but now,

767
00:48:54,660 --> 00:48:57,360
it just sucks to hear this is
horrible.

768
00:48:57,810 --> 00:49:02,430
And just to speak on therapy. My
not my mom. She's saying she's a

769
00:49:02,460 --> 00:49:06,360
she's a licensed therapist, you
know, saying like, so. therapy

770
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,960
has been, you know, talking
about paid into the family.

771
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:14,190
Yeah. Right. But when I met her
have this debate, going back and

772
00:49:14,190 --> 00:49:19,470
forth is, I think the way we do
therapy in this country. For

773
00:49:19,470 --> 00:49:21,300
poor middle class people is
broken,

774
00:49:21,390 --> 00:49:25,620
though I'm sure it is, is
without a doubt, I'm sure it is

775
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:27,660
without even knowing enough
about it.

776
00:49:28,140 --> 00:49:32,250
So because we have somebody come
in and say, Alright, we got 15

777
00:49:32,250 --> 00:49:35,940
minutes. Let me tap into your
brain and give you some drugs

778
00:49:35,940 --> 00:49:39,990
and we'll fix it. We're not even
drugs but surface that issue and

779
00:49:39,990 --> 00:49:42,930
then they look at their watch my
up, your time is up, you know,

780
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,720
let's just leave it right and
put a pin in it right there. And

781
00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:49,800
we'll see you next week. Now
Hello. You can't bury that stuff

782
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,610
back. Now. I'm going out to my
life for another six days.

783
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,840
Before I come back here to
therapy again. And you've an

784
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:04,050
open are you on earth this
whatever the issue is, and now I

785
00:50:04,050 --> 00:50:06,840
have to take this back into my
real world. I think that's a

786
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,360
very broken system. Um,

787
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:12,149
and that's, that's not just for
poor people, that is the rich

788
00:50:12,149 --> 00:50:15,659
people version also. But the
rich people version usually

789
00:50:15,659 --> 00:50:19,319
includes group therapy, which
are very interesting activities,

790
00:50:19,319 --> 00:50:22,589
I've participated in a few. And
that's where you really get to

791
00:50:22,589 --> 00:50:26,789
expand a lot more and go a lot
deeper in, believe it or not a

792
00:50:26,789 --> 00:50:30,659
safe space. But the typical
therapy sessions, that's kind of

793
00:50:30,659 --> 00:50:31,889
how it goes for everybody.

794
00:50:32,309 --> 00:50:35,309
Except for the first you can't
pay for more, I guess that you

795
00:50:35,309 --> 00:50:37,199
can get group sessions, you
know? Yeah,

796
00:50:38,009 --> 00:50:40,889
you're absolutely right. I'm
just saying that the basic

797
00:50:40,889 --> 00:50:43,559
therapy session is your 15
minutes looking at the watch,

798
00:50:43,559 --> 00:50:46,379
sorry, you got to go. That's
kind of the same. But then, of

799
00:50:46,379 --> 00:50:49,529
course, if you have money, then
you can expand as much as you

800
00:50:49,529 --> 00:50:50,729
want. Right. But

801
00:50:50,730 --> 00:50:53,400
if you're on the insurance plan,
you know, you're screwed, you're

802
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,860
screwed, you're screwed. And
he's like, You come home, and

803
00:50:55,860 --> 00:50:58,710
like everybody listening, and
I'm, I gotta be transparent

804
00:50:58,710 --> 00:51:04,470
again. I've never went to
therapy before. Ah, don't expect

805
00:51:04,470 --> 00:51:08,700
it out. We'll go to therapy.
That's just me. And I can say,

806
00:51:08,730 --> 00:51:12,750
that might be a stigma, it might
be a stereotype or whatever. But

807
00:51:12,750 --> 00:51:15,090
I just don't want somebody
poking around in my head.

808
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,910
Because that's an that may, I
guess, that my mom is a third.

809
00:51:18,090 --> 00:51:24,090
So that is a very probably
ignorant take on it. But it's

810
00:51:24,090 --> 00:51:30,450
very, I'll say a couple of
masculinity. You always want to

811
00:51:30,450 --> 00:51:32,820
seem like you're in control of
things. Even if you're not.

812
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,660
There's just like the trope and
meme of are we lost? And your

813
00:51:36,660 --> 00:51:41,460
dad's like driving? Now, we're
not lost? What's your losses?

814
00:51:41,460 --> 00:51:44,520
Hail, right. But it's like, I
can't let the wife and kids know

815
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,610
I'm lost. You know, because I'm
the Navigator. I'm the guy

816
00:51:47,610 --> 00:51:49,050
behind the wheel, you know?

817
00:51:49,830 --> 00:51:55,290
Well, so a lot of these things
were discussing. To me also

818
00:51:55,290 --> 00:51:58,410
shows and of course, this is
also being destroyed is how the

819
00:51:58,410 --> 00:52:03,900
male female model when it when
it's in harmony together work so

820
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:08,670
incredibly well. Because yes,
Rosa Parks, if it was Ron parks

821
00:52:08,700 --> 00:52:11,700
would have been a different
story. But if it was Ron parks,

822
00:52:11,730 --> 00:52:16,260
and he was 80 years old, it
might have been yet a different

823
00:52:16,260 --> 00:52:18,750
story. You know, so there's,
there's all these different

824
00:52:18,930 --> 00:52:23,340
types of things that are that
our individual and our

825
00:52:23,340 --> 00:52:27,750
sexuality, just have on a social
scale, when you work together,

826
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,280
is really good. So that's just
that's just my take on it. And

827
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,780
quite honestly, I suck at
directions. And I've just given

828
00:52:36,780 --> 00:52:40,590
that to my wife. Like, I'm just
gonna turn the navigator voice

829
00:52:40,590 --> 00:52:43,350
off because I like yours much
more. And you tap on the window

830
00:52:43,350 --> 00:52:45,930
a little bit to let me know
which way to go, which is always

831
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:46,800
fun.

832
00:52:47,250 --> 00:52:49,650
And it's funny you say that
because that was kind of like

833
00:52:49,650 --> 00:52:52,830
the mom was in the passenger
seat with the map. Yeah, she's

834
00:52:52,830 --> 00:52:56,100
like, I don't think we're gonna,
you know, so, but I'm just

835
00:52:56,100 --> 00:53:00,120
saying like the stopping asking
for directions. Oh, fuck,

836
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,040
no, not gonna do that. I'm a man
Damn it.

837
00:53:02,820 --> 00:53:03,990
Exactly, I'll figure it out.

838
00:53:06,390 --> 00:53:10,410
I'll pull over, pull over, bring
out the sextant before I ask for

839
00:53:10,410 --> 00:53:11,070
directions.

840
00:53:11,790 --> 00:53:14,970
Or I'll run out of gas. And at
least that gives me an excuse to

841
00:53:14,970 --> 00:53:15,990
go to the gas station.

842
00:53:20,370 --> 00:53:20,790
Right,

843
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:25,440
so, but it's a speech about
this, they say it's very

844
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:31,800
destabilizing the effects on
masculinity and that need to

845
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:36,120
hold on to the masculine, it
just makes the situation worse.

846
00:53:36,750 --> 00:53:40,830
I would say um, so I guess we
stopped me to be that's going

847
00:53:40,830 --> 00:53:41,550
into to see.

848
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,570
Interesting enough. I'm not a
big fan of the notion of getting

849
00:53:45,570 --> 00:53:49,200
rid of anger. When we talk about
eliminating anger. Anger is

850
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,630
something that can't be
eliminated. But it's anger is

851
00:53:51,630 --> 00:53:54,960
something that can be managed
and controlled. We actually have

852
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:59,670
to develop a vocabulary around
other emotions. Besides just

853
00:53:59,700 --> 00:54:03,630
anger and sadness. We need to be
able to identify when we feel

854
00:54:03,630 --> 00:54:06,300
helpless. When we feel
frustrated when we feel

855
00:54:06,300 --> 00:54:10,410
disgusted. When we feel shame,
the way we manage anger is to

856
00:54:10,410 --> 00:54:13,260
acknowledge that we're angry.
But beyond that, we need to know

857
00:54:13,260 --> 00:54:16,140
what our triggers are. Knowing
what our triggers are, helps us

858
00:54:16,140 --> 00:54:19,350
to respond accordingly. This is
why I tell black men that it's

859
00:54:19,350 --> 00:54:22,020
so important to be
introspective. It's important

860
00:54:22,020 --> 00:54:24,420
that we be able to sit with
ourselves and examine ourselves

861
00:54:24,420 --> 00:54:27,360
and ask ourselves out of
curiosity, why we show up in

862
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,170
certain ways. After that, it's
important that we learn to take

863
00:54:31,170 --> 00:54:34,380
a pause or pause is good because
it allows us to collect our

864
00:54:34,380 --> 00:54:38,040
thoughts and think of possible
ways to remedy the disagreement.

865
00:54:38,190 --> 00:54:41,490
Black men. It's okay. Not to be
okay.

866
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:48,300
And that's the that's the point
where this show comes in in

867
00:54:49,410 --> 00:54:53,430
doing this show the process of
it. It provides time for

868
00:54:53,460 --> 00:54:58,110
introspection. It occupies the
mind because I wouldn't know

869
00:54:58,110 --> 00:55:02,640
what I would be doing if I Have
something to do in this

870
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:08,460
situation went down. Uh, you
will have a lot more time to

871
00:55:11,610 --> 00:55:15,900
just like for it to fester. You
know, it's just like, ah, you

872
00:55:15,900 --> 00:55:19,050
know, saying you, you just like
harp on it. So that's what the

873
00:55:19,050 --> 00:55:25,710
good part of this show and then
the good is good too. It's like

874
00:55:25,710 --> 00:55:28,440
they say there's good anger, or
there's good way to channel

875
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:32,250
anger. But I think a lot of
times people don't know how to

876
00:55:32,250 --> 00:55:42,300
do that. That's that's very
untaught skill. Sure, either

877
00:55:42,390 --> 00:55:47,640
either we pack it now, or we, or
we outbursts. And now those are

878
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,720
the two mechanisms for dealing
with anger. Now I will say this

879
00:55:51,870 --> 00:55:55,110
two points I made was
frustration and shame. Once

880
00:55:55,110 --> 00:55:58,560
again, I had to be very
transparent. A lot of my anger

881
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:08,400
comes from frustration, of being
less than, well, that images at

882
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,120
this point in life being 41
years old, you kind of had your

883
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,030
map set, right? The kind of
thing in front of you is like,

884
00:56:15,030 --> 00:56:18,270
Okay, I'm gonna do this for the
next 1020 years, I'm going to do

885
00:56:18,270 --> 00:56:22,020
this, the kids are gonna be
here, once they get grown, and

886
00:56:22,020 --> 00:56:24,960
we'll do you know, you're
setting up for that. The middle

887
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,950
game like these, this is the
middle game, right? And to come

888
00:56:28,950 --> 00:56:30,240
in, and just the mind isn't

889
00:56:30,420 --> 00:56:36,360
Yes, shitty time in life to be
confronted with it.

890
00:56:37,110 --> 00:56:40,440
Right? Because you got to
maintain what you got. Because

891
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,470
that's where the shame comes in
it because I can't lose my

892
00:56:43,470 --> 00:56:46,620
house. And this is this is the
goal to speak to the guys that

893
00:56:46,770 --> 00:56:51,000
wrote you letters. By it's the
shame part of it's like, either

894
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,550
one, they probably get their
identity from their work.

895
00:56:53,910 --> 00:56:56,040
Because like people who are
like, Well, I'm an engineer, I'm

896
00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:00,030
a doctor, I'm a you know, that's
they speak their vocation. Some

897
00:57:00,030 --> 00:57:03,390
people, their vocation is their
identity. So if you separate

898
00:57:03,390 --> 00:57:05,610
them from that, it's like, who
am I? You know, that's the

899
00:57:05,610 --> 00:57:08,340
question you have to ask
yourself, like, who am I, then

900
00:57:08,340 --> 00:57:13,740
the shame of just being out of
work? For me, it's family

901
00:57:13,740 --> 00:57:19,830
members I haven't even told yet.
Because, once again, you want to

902
00:57:19,830 --> 00:57:25,650
go back to having everything
under control. So the shame part

903
00:57:25,650 --> 00:57:28,200
of it. And we talked about sign
language, right? It's a shame

904
00:57:28,230 --> 00:57:32,310
and so guilt need to be right.
Shame is a part big part of it.

905
00:57:32,310 --> 00:57:34,860
And it's like, if I can avoid
this shaming feeling, but then

906
00:57:34,860 --> 00:57:39,150
you feel shame because you lied
about it. So it's either like,

907
00:57:39,150 --> 00:57:42,600
Damn, I can't get away from
this. So yeah, shame and

908
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,850
frustration for me the two
biggest things so

909
00:57:45,180 --> 00:57:48,660
just just for me to you, I mean,
you got nothing but shit to be

910
00:57:48,660 --> 00:57:52,230
proud of man. Your chance here?

911
00:57:52,800 --> 00:58:00,420
That's the thing like is being
an entrepreneur in itself, and

912
00:58:00,420 --> 00:58:09,180
working for yourself. There's a
light there's a certain stigma

913
00:58:09,180 --> 00:58:14,040
that comes along with that. Oh,
really? Yeah. Okay, because

914
00:58:14,070 --> 00:58:18,990
it's, it's like you eat what you
kill kind of thing. Yeah. And,

915
00:58:19,050 --> 00:58:22,080
and people that are working. And
I can speak for that. I mean,

916
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,830
I've been working class for
years, all my life. It's like,

917
00:58:25,830 --> 00:58:28,320
well, there's a certain
uncertainty that comes along

918
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:32,490
with that. Destiny especially
Yes, especially if, but that's

919
00:58:32,490 --> 00:58:35,280
seen as a negative. Because
people have this for people

920
00:58:35,940 --> 00:58:39,240
who aren't entrepreneurs. That
is the one reason why they

921
00:58:39,270 --> 00:58:42,030
aren't entrepreneurs. That's
exactly right. Because they

922
00:58:42,030 --> 00:58:43,650
don't like that feeling.

923
00:58:44,730 --> 00:58:49,620
But when you switch lanes made
life, if you came into the game

924
00:58:49,620 --> 00:58:52,440
entrepreneur, that's one thing.
It's like, okay, that's that's

925
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,830
him. But if anybody if somebody
came to you and say, Well, you

926
00:58:55,830 --> 00:58:59,160
know, I quit my job to start a
restaurant, the first thing and

927
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:04,650
back of a worker person in my
life. That's pretty crazy. If it

928
00:59:04,650 --> 00:59:06,930
was, even though it's not crazy,
the person thought out, they

929
00:59:06,930 --> 00:59:08,730
were saying that they're
planning that kind of thing was

930
00:59:08,730 --> 00:59:13,650
like, you got a good job here.
You sure you want to do that

931
00:59:13,650 --> 00:59:15,750
when you fail? These are the
questions you start to get.

932
00:59:15,990 --> 00:59:21,840
Well that I did go through that.
Specifically, when I dropped out

933
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,560
of college, my parents gave me
one month, said you're in this

934
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:29,040
house for one month, and either
you are back in school, or

935
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:34,200
you're paying rent or you're
out. And that motivated me and

936
00:59:34,710 --> 00:59:39,240
then I I got a job in
television. Crazy, but that's

937
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,960
how things go sometimes. And
even though that was like the

938
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,830
most mind blowing thing that
could happen to anybody. Most

939
00:59:46,830 --> 00:59:49,860
people around me were like, wow,
be careful. You know, you know,

940
00:59:49,860 --> 00:59:52,680
show business. You know, it's
not you know, have something to

941
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:53,490
fall back on.

942
00:59:54,270 --> 00:59:56,550
Right that's, that's that's the
key right there. So in the fall

943
00:59:56,550 --> 01:00:00,420
back, if you're something to
fall back on you Whether you

944
01:00:00,420 --> 01:00:04,590
walked away from it or it's been
taken from you, it's like, okay,

945
01:00:05,190 --> 01:00:08,550
yeah, you're gonna walk on a
highway. Uh huh. And now the

946
01:00:08,550 --> 01:00:12,480
risk versus reward is greater. I
mean, well, the reward is

947
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,980
greater, and the risk is higher
as well. But it's a certain

948
01:00:17,340 --> 01:00:21,300
mentality that was been beaten
into Americans specifically yes,

949
01:00:21,330 --> 01:00:24,150
that you go to job you go to
school, you get you're saying

950
01:00:24,150 --> 01:00:26,610
you get, you know, some kind of
training vocational, either

951
01:00:26,610 --> 01:00:31,770
educational, and then you go get
a job. And you you, you say, you

952
01:00:31,770 --> 01:00:35,940
live in that, and you live in
that space until you retire. And

953
01:00:35,940 --> 01:00:39,900
this is the social contract.
That's been, you know, written

954
01:00:40,530 --> 01:00:44,010
all of my life. I can't speak to
before that, but that was the

955
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,550
understanding. And now for
somebody say, I've done all the

956
01:00:47,550 --> 01:00:51,390
right things, I checked all the
boxes, I worked hard. I'm

957
01:00:51,390 --> 01:00:55,590
grinding my way, you know, your
sense of where I met. And then

958
01:00:55,590 --> 01:01:02,130
for somebody else to come in,
this is how that goes. Ah, yeah,

959
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:06,300
that. That's, that's where the
frustration comes in it. So I

960
01:01:06,300 --> 01:01:10,470
understand. So now we got to go
back to show 13 deconstructing

961
01:01:10,470 --> 01:01:19,050
Kanye, because we've seen Kanye
deal with this publicly, you

962
01:01:19,050 --> 01:01:23,100
know, being called crazy. And
because the arrow of his

963
01:01:23,130 --> 01:01:27,840
outburst and yes, yes, yes, yes,
hot takes and those kinds of

964
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,740
things, you know, they just kind
of get back in line. Don't don't

965
01:01:31,740 --> 01:01:35,040
gotta get like Kanye, you get
your rapper, your producer. Why

966
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,650
do you want to be an artist? Why
do you want to be a fashion

967
01:01:37,650 --> 01:01:42,120
person I was thinking this day.
That's crazy. So now we got to

968
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:47,010
go back. And this is Kanye. From
show 13. Number five.

969
01:01:47,339 --> 01:01:51,689
Kobe Bryant won five
championships. He's sprained all

970
01:01:51,689 --> 01:01:56,009
kinds of muscles all through his
body tore ligaments. And for

971
01:01:56,009 --> 01:01:59,969
people to go to Kanye West where
I'm playing in the highest level

972
01:01:59,969 --> 01:02:02,789
of mental sport. I have Mark
Zuckerberg wanting to meet with

973
01:02:02,789 --> 01:02:06,719
me. Yes, I have people kind of
want to meet with me, that are

974
01:02:06,719 --> 01:02:09,539
makers that are worried at this
point. So I'm playing at this

975
01:02:09,539 --> 01:02:16,079
mental sport as a black band.
Post POC, post Biggie, Puff

976
01:02:16,079 --> 01:02:21,659
Daddy Jay Z. In Debt, completely
control. The management knows

977
01:02:21,659 --> 01:02:26,219
how much exactly, you make it on
your tour. And it's just $2 less

978
01:02:26,219 --> 01:02:30,239
than what your house costs. And
I'm ending up in debt every

979
01:02:30,239 --> 01:02:34,649
year. And then I have a
breakdown. I should have a

980
01:02:34,649 --> 01:02:38,849
hospital in the back of our room
for what I'm dealing with. Don't

981
01:02:38,849 --> 01:02:42,389
Don't NBA players got a nice
iced every time I need to just

982
01:02:42,389 --> 01:02:46,049
like Lee everyday just go right
to UCLA to the level of game of

983
01:02:46,049 --> 01:02:50,009
sport down working at but we
don't make Cobis legacy be about

984
01:02:50,009 --> 01:02:53,429
one torn ligament and my legacy
ain't about oh, he got me 12

985
01:02:53,459 --> 01:02:57,569
That just come with the level of
sport I'm playing. What you

986
01:02:57,569 --> 01:03:00,329
talking about people's trying to
send me left and right.

987
01:03:01,350 --> 01:03:03,240
Yeah, that was good. Episode
Two.

988
01:03:04,049 --> 01:03:08,849
So what that thing about, you
know, people trying to sign you

989
01:03:08,849 --> 01:03:13,229
in crack. So this is the other
side of it. Like cuz like say

990
01:03:13,259 --> 01:03:16,079
I'm a free man. And I don't
regret anything. And so I want

991
01:03:16,079 --> 01:03:19,889
to make this clear. Now, I have
zero regrets. But when you make

992
01:03:19,889 --> 01:03:23,309
a decision, there's pros and
cons to it. And we you start to

993
01:03:23,309 --> 01:03:26,729
map these things out. And then
you start getting feedback from

994
01:03:26,729 --> 01:03:31,829
people. It's the selling part
like you did what I say certain

995
01:03:31,829 --> 01:03:34,679
family members I haven't told,
but other family members that

996
01:03:34,679 --> 01:03:39,569
you told the first thing I've
got bad like, You got kids.

997
01:03:39,749 --> 01:03:41,129
Yeah.

998
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,340
Yeah, they can help produce Damn
it.

999
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:48,360
Now. Think about that. Just
think about that for a minute.

1000
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,620
I'm saying I don't want to do
something for me and my personal

1001
01:03:52,620 --> 01:03:57,510
health. And it's like, what you
got kids. It's like, but I don't

1002
01:03:57,510 --> 01:04:02,760
want to do this from my personal
hill. But you got kids. So it's

1003
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:06,420
like, I'm supposed to sacrifice
myself. And this goes back once

1004
01:04:06,420 --> 01:04:11,850
again, to about the sacrifice is
sacrifice yourself. If it

1005
01:04:11,850 --> 01:04:15,210
doesn't work out or your day,
you got heart issues, you're

1006
01:04:15,210 --> 01:04:18,180
saying all these other things
that come along possibly with

1007
01:04:18,180 --> 01:04:23,700
it? And of course, it's not
everybody, but this okay. I

1008
01:04:23,700 --> 01:04:26,700
asked this question we would ask
about what's your number? Here's

1009
01:04:26,700 --> 01:04:32,010
another what's your number?
Okay, say we had a gun. And we

1010
01:04:32,010 --> 01:04:36,240
were going to put a bullet in
one chamber and spin it. How

1011
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,750
many empty chambers would you
need to say okay, that's the

1012
01:04:39,750 --> 01:04:45,210
risk I'm willing to take. Yeah.
1010 chambers 100 chambers. 1000

1013
01:04:45,210 --> 01:04:48,990
chambers by when would you when
were you playing that game? Cuz

1014
01:04:48,990 --> 01:04:52,290
I'm not playing that game. He's
not saying that's bad. Basically

1015
01:04:52,290 --> 01:04:58,830
what they're asking me to do is
like, live nine 999 chances that

1016
01:04:58,830 --> 01:05:02,340
you won't get shot. You know,
Whoa, it's like, I don't

1017
01:05:02,460 --> 01:05:06,630
know, that's people who don't
share the same opinion about

1018
01:05:06,630 --> 01:05:10,800
what this what the shot is. And
they don't see it as you know,

1019
01:05:10,860 --> 01:05:13,710
you have options, you know, and
they see that as the easy

1020
01:05:13,710 --> 01:05:15,510
option. So it's ignorance.

1021
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,470
Right, what I'm saying, like,
what would be this acceptable

1022
01:05:19,740 --> 01:05:23,370
amount of empty chambers, that
you're willing to take that risk

1023
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:25,680
with one live round in one of
those chambers?

1024
01:05:26,430 --> 01:05:28,500
You don't have to ask me now.
I'm not

1025
01:05:31,020 --> 01:05:35,160
saying, I'm just saying that's
that's the mindset of, oh, just

1026
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:36,000
spin the spin it?

1027
01:05:36,330 --> 01:05:39,120
You know, I get a version of it
like, well, you can't even see

1028
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,600
your daughter. So that's right.
And she can't see me. That's

1029
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:42,990
right.

1030
01:05:43,950 --> 01:05:47,670
Right. It's the same as on you,
dad. Here's how you're not gonna

1031
01:05:47,670 --> 01:05:51,240
take that risk. Dan, you know,
you're sure people somebody,

1032
01:05:51,270 --> 01:05:54,450
your must be a bad dad, you were
saying let this let this small

1033
01:05:54,450 --> 01:05:55,980
things stand between you and
your daughter.

1034
01:05:56,070 --> 01:06:00,690
Okay. Well, for my daughter's
the same opinion. So she she has

1035
01:06:00,690 --> 01:06:01,020
the same?

1036
01:06:02,070 --> 01:06:05,310
Yeah, I'm just saying this is
the kind of mental game that

1037
01:06:05,310 --> 01:06:10,950
they play in something you and
then they wonder why or how it

1038
01:06:10,950 --> 01:06:13,530
can impact your mental health?
Because I just want I just

1039
01:06:13,530 --> 01:06:18,180
wanted to point that out.
Because as we seen what Kanye if

1040
01:06:18,180 --> 01:06:24,060
you don't do what's expected of
me? You're crazy. Yep. But and

1041
01:06:24,060 --> 01:06:26,880
on the other hand, if you're
from other communities, and you

1042
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,400
don't do what's expected, you're
innovating. You're still

1043
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,850
innovative. He's risk taking,
you know, he's a Cavalier, he's

1044
01:06:32,850 --> 01:06:37,860
a maverick, you know, they have
all these terms. Yeah. Other

1045
01:06:37,860 --> 01:06:41,880
people, you know, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, you know, like, it's

1046
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,220
like Elon Musk. You're saying
like, if he was a black man,

1047
01:06:44,220 --> 01:06:46,440
like, what? Electric cars?

1048
01:06:49,980 --> 01:06:52,260
Don't know, maybe, maybe no
one's saying

1049
01:06:52,260 --> 01:06:55,950
like, this is the genesis of the
idea. If you if you would have

1050
01:06:55,950 --> 01:06:59,640
said that, like before, he
actually built Tesla cars around

1051
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:00,300
batteries.

1052
01:07:01,290 --> 01:07:05,430
But he didn't build Tesla. Elon
Musk is not a good example. He's

1053
01:07:05,430 --> 01:07:08,850
a figurehead to me, he you know,
he was put in charge of Tesla,

1054
01:07:09,030 --> 01:07:11,160
you know, it was already existed
already.

1055
01:07:11,580 --> 01:07:13,770
Okay, well, I'm just saying like
the narrative, you're gonna say,

1056
01:07:13,770 --> 01:07:17,970
like, if whatever, you're going
to take a risk, then you're

1057
01:07:17,970 --> 01:07:22,860
crazy to take a risk because
Elon is, by the way he is. Yeah,

1058
01:07:22,860 --> 01:07:27,030
he's the He's the richest
African American history. We've

1059
01:07:27,030 --> 01:07:30,750
always put respect on his name.
So let's go to now we're going

1060
01:07:30,750 --> 01:07:36,390
to go to show 41. And I forget
what title this what I had to

1061
01:07:36,390 --> 01:07:40,500
title someone, but show 41
nonetheless, and this is to pot

1062
01:07:40,860 --> 01:07:43,650
and he's going to talk about
being locked in on the outside.

1063
01:07:43,650 --> 01:07:47,160
And, you know, and notice,
that's not it. This is gonna

1064
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,340
talk about, you know, getting
rich and agreed in America. This

1065
01:07:50,340 --> 01:07:51,270
world is such

1066
01:07:51,660 --> 01:07:54,690
an I say this world, I mean, it
I don't mean an ideal sense. I

1067
01:07:54,690 --> 01:07:58,260
mean, in every day, every little
thing you do is such a, give me

1068
01:07:58,260 --> 01:08:02,100
give me give me. Everybody back
off. You know, everybody's like

1069
01:08:02,100 --> 01:08:04,650
you taught that from school,
everywhere, big business, you

1070
01:08:04,650 --> 01:08:07,290
want to be successful. You want
to be like Trump, give me give

1071
01:08:07,290 --> 01:08:10,080
me give me push, push, push,
push, step, step, step, crush,

1072
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,080
crush crush. That's how it all
is. And it's like, nobody ever

1073
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,990
stopped. You know, I feel like,
instead of us just being like,

1074
01:08:15,990 --> 01:08:20,460
slavery is bad slavery is that
bad. YT bad YT. I mean, why?

1075
01:08:20,460 --> 01:08:23,370
Let's stop that. And everybody's
smart enough to know that. I

1076
01:08:23,370 --> 01:08:26,640
mean, we've been slighted. And
we hours. And I don't mean by

1077
01:08:26,670 --> 01:08:30,090
like I was 40 acres in Mute,
because we passed that. But we

1078
01:08:30,090 --> 01:08:33,300
need help. I mean, for us to be
on our own two feet, us meaning

1079
01:08:33,510 --> 01:08:36,270
us or us, meaning black people,
whatever, you want to take your

1080
01:08:36,270 --> 01:08:38,760
phone for us to be on our own
two feet, we do need help.

1081
01:08:38,910 --> 01:08:41,640
Because we have been here we
have been a good friend, if you

1082
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,340
want to make it a relationship
type thing. We have been there

1083
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,070
and now we deserve our pay back.
It's like you got a friend that

1084
01:08:47,070 --> 01:08:49,320
you don't never look out for.
You know, you dressed up in

1085
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:52,830
Jews. Now America's got Jews,
and they got the pain and

1086
01:08:52,830 --> 01:08:55,440
everything and they lending
money to everybody except

1087
01:08:55,589 --> 01:09:01,349
us. Yeah, this this was back
when tea still talk like that.

1088
01:09:01,349 --> 01:09:04,379
And when you you could still get
an interview with him like that.

1089
01:09:04,799 --> 01:09:08,039
Right? So that was that was 92
Yeah, but I just want to show

1090
01:09:08,039 --> 01:09:12,689
for 6892 You hear the same? The
same, you're saying the same

1091
01:09:12,689 --> 01:09:17,579
message. It's the same thing.
It's like hey, you know, you

1092
01:09:17,579 --> 01:09:21,599
want us to be good, you know,
saying good citizens take part

1093
01:09:21,599 --> 01:09:25,319
in this American dream. But you
know, you want to dictate

1094
01:09:25,319 --> 01:09:28,379
certain things to us. And not
you're saying not allow for

1095
01:09:28,379 --> 01:09:32,129
upward mobility. Now, of course,
this is not raised bass with

1096
01:09:32,129 --> 01:09:37,499
this shot. But it's still, you
know, we're gonna they're kind

1097
01:09:37,499 --> 01:09:41,909
of picking the winners and the
losers. How can you do that? You

1098
01:09:41,909 --> 01:09:46,949
know, and it becomes so
pressurized that you know,

1099
01:09:46,949 --> 01:09:50,819
people I don't think people
really understand where we're

1100
01:09:50,819 --> 01:09:58,049
at. There's so many homeless
young men out here. It's

1101
01:09:58,979 --> 01:10:02,579
specifically black mean, cuz I
talked to him you don't say

1102
01:10:02,579 --> 01:10:08,459
like, um, when they stop, excuse
my language like I use on cars

1103
01:10:08,459 --> 01:10:11,579
like this, but when they stopped
giving a fuck, America has a

1104
01:10:11,579 --> 01:10:15,929
real problem. I don't I don't
think they understand what's

1105
01:10:15,929 --> 01:10:20,039
really going on, you know, they
know when a homeless people stop

1106
01:10:20,039 --> 01:10:23,969
caring when that when you know
when the homeless, the hungry,

1107
01:10:24,119 --> 01:10:25,859
the outer work this is what
you're seeing the great

1108
01:10:25,859 --> 01:10:28,859
resignation a lot of people just
throwing their hands up like,

1109
01:10:29,219 --> 01:10:33,539
what Let's go, whatever it will
be will be you know is what it

1110
01:10:33,539 --> 01:10:33,809
is

1111
01:10:33,810 --> 01:10:36,810
how to sauce on top of that
we're all gonna die in 10 years

1112
01:10:36,810 --> 01:10:40,170
from climate change just as a
narrative that just floats

1113
01:10:40,170 --> 01:10:40,710
around.

1114
01:10:41,579 --> 01:10:45,389
And then the racialization of
everything and, you know,

1115
01:10:46,319 --> 01:10:51,059
without any explanation, you
factor that in the you factor in

1116
01:10:51,209 --> 01:10:55,649
that, you know, men men can't
find women or they can't if they

1117
01:10:55,649 --> 01:10:58,019
find a woman that can't take
care of a woman no family

1118
01:10:58,019 --> 01:11:02,129
nothing to live for no kids, not
America, I'm telling you, you're

1119
01:11:02,129 --> 01:11:05,669
sitting on a powder keg. Now I
don't know how it's gonna be

1120
01:11:05,669 --> 01:11:09,629
trouble is gonna manifest
itself. But it's I see all the

1121
01:11:09,629 --> 01:11:14,009
parts because I can truly
empathize. Am I in a better

1122
01:11:14,009 --> 01:11:17,939
position than most? Yes. Am I
immediately my life's gonna

1123
01:11:17,939 --> 01:11:23,459
change? No. But the fact is,
when you come upset somebody is

1124
01:11:23,459 --> 01:11:27,779
lifelike this how this normally
looks is you're being evicted.

1125
01:11:28,349 --> 01:11:31,889
How this normally looks is, you
know, you had to pull your kids

1126
01:11:31,889 --> 01:11:34,469
out of certain things, or you
know, things that you were

1127
01:11:34,469 --> 01:11:36,779
aspiring to buying a home and
those kinds of things. Now my

1128
01:11:36,779 --> 01:11:40,589
downpayment I got to live off of
until I find another person when

1129
01:11:40,589 --> 01:11:45,599
you start dashing people dreams
like that. It's a it's a it's a

1130
01:11:45,599 --> 01:11:50,699
very, it's a powder keg. I'm not
saying that. But I want people

1131
01:11:50,699 --> 01:11:56,309
to understand by is there is a
reason why there was a social

1132
01:11:56,309 --> 01:11:59,189
contract. There was their net
worth just out of the goodness

1133
01:11:59,189 --> 01:12:03,209
of the heart. It was if these
people get pissed off enough, it

1134
01:12:03,209 --> 01:12:04,499
could be real trouble.

1135
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:10,800
Yeah, and this kind of brings in
your Demolition Man theory.

1136
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,220
Yeah. Because what they pushed
them to the last point they

1137
01:12:14,220 --> 01:12:17,280
could go underground. Once you
put me on the ground eating rat

1138
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:23,460
burgers. It's like, What? What?
What we're saying what do you

1139
01:12:23,460 --> 01:12:26,400
want? For me? You're saying
like, where? Where's the loose

1140
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:32,100
for me? Where I'm at the bottom?
You know, so yeah, that's why I

1141
01:12:32,100 --> 01:12:34,890
keep harping on the Demolition
Man thing once you push people

1142
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:37,830
on the ground, and that, you
know, they get comfortable

1143
01:12:37,830 --> 01:12:41,550
there. And it's like, well, the
odd thing between between me and

1144
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:46,740
success is those people, whoever
they are, you're going to get a

1145
01:12:46,740 --> 01:12:50,070
natural reaction and to pot got
another clip for him. He's gonna

1146
01:12:50,070 --> 01:12:53,610
explain that once we stop asking
them demanding of start.

1147
01:12:54,660 --> 01:12:59,430
Interesting how hip hop rap
music in the beginning, or song

1148
01:12:59,430 --> 01:13:02,970
like Grandmaster Flash is the
message where basically they

1149
01:13:02,970 --> 01:13:05,550
were saying, you know, it's like
a jungle sometimes I wish, you

1150
01:13:05,550 --> 01:13:08,940
know, I wonder how I've kept
from going under the whole root

1151
01:13:08,940 --> 01:13:11,970
of what that song was, was
basically saying, Look, these

1152
01:13:11,970 --> 01:13:15,720
are the problems here, you know,
and here we are 10 years or plus

1153
01:13:15,750 --> 01:13:19,860
later, those problems are still
still there. And the intensity

1154
01:13:19,860 --> 01:13:23,700
of the music has built to the no
hope the I don't give a

1155
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:29,040
attitude. How did we get from
from Grandmaster Flash to the

1156
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,980
message to where we are now? in
hip

1157
01:13:31,980 --> 01:13:38,430
hop? Again, you have to be
logical. No, if if I know in

1158
01:13:38,430 --> 01:13:41,940
this hotel room, they have food
every day. And I'm knocking on

1159
01:13:41,940 --> 01:13:45,480
the door every day to eat and
they tell me they open the door.

1160
01:13:45,480 --> 01:13:49,200
Let me see the party. Let me see
like them throwing salami all

1161
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:52,200
over. I mean, just like throwing
food around. But you're telling

1162
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:55,500
me there's no food in here. You
know, I'm saying every day. I'm

1163
01:13:55,500 --> 01:13:58,680
standing outside trying to sing
my way in. You know, I'm saying

1164
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:04,020
we are we please let us and we
are pleased. After about a week

1165
01:14:04,020 --> 01:14:07,800
that song is gonna change that.
We are hungry. We need some food

1166
01:14:07,830 --> 01:14:12,780
after two three weeks is like
you know, give me $1 After

1167
01:14:12,780 --> 01:14:15,570
hearing just like, you know, I'm
saying picking the lock coming

1168
01:14:15,570 --> 01:14:16,770
through and door blasting.

1169
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:25,560
Yeah. And that's why you see the
trains, we're seeing stuff like

1170
01:14:25,740 --> 01:14:30,090
people are robbing trains.
People are walking away from

1171
01:14:30,090 --> 01:14:34,980
their jobs in mass. This what
this symbolizes to me, and just

1172
01:14:34,980 --> 01:14:37,800
like I said, through my
experiences, people are

1173
01:14:37,830 --> 01:14:45,450
unplugging from society. And I
don't understand I don't think

1174
01:14:45,450 --> 01:14:50,520
people understand how
problematic that is. You know,

1175
01:14:50,940 --> 01:14:56,130
if some well armed you know,
elements in this society that

1176
01:14:56,130 --> 01:15:01,050
can make things very hard. And
that likes This goes from two

1177
01:15:01,050 --> 01:15:08,130
pot from 1992 was the first clip
to 1994. And you can hear by the

1178
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,610
distance you're saying this is
Chapman with the system, you

1179
01:15:11,610 --> 01:15:16,560
know, well, even at the same
time, he's, he's achieving so

1180
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:22,200
much success. Personally, where
he was like seeing things get

1181
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:28,020
worse, you know, for for people
around him so I just I just want

1182
01:15:28,020 --> 01:15:29,940
to bring this you know brains to
the light

1183
01:15:29,970 --> 01:15:36,960
Yeah, it's it's really people
weren't listening and and what's

1184
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:41,310
cool about it in a sick way is
that hip hop was just completely

1185
01:15:41,310 --> 01:15:46,440
commercialized culture alized
and people the the words just

1186
01:15:46,440 --> 01:15:50,580
became meaningless just became a
story didn't become fact or

1187
01:15:50,580 --> 01:15:52,080
truth or reality.

1188
01:15:54,240 --> 01:16:00,960
But hip hop is the voice of the
underclass Sure. It no even even

1189
01:16:01,020 --> 01:16:05,010
today, we need to listen to what
these kids are saying. And I

1190
01:16:05,010 --> 01:16:07,680
don't say I don't mean kids
disrespectfully, I'm saying the

1191
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:11,010
young, like, once they get to
the point where I don't even

1192
01:16:11,010 --> 01:16:16,020
care anymore. When you get to
that point, that's when a person

1193
01:16:16,020 --> 01:16:19,620
gets to the point where I don't
have anything to lose. Yeah,

1194
01:16:20,190 --> 01:16:25,770
that's a very dangerous place to
be. Now, luckily, for me,

1195
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:29,520
personally, I've seen a person
go through a change like this.

1196
01:16:30,180 --> 01:16:34,140
My father and my mother, they
went back to college, in their

1197
01:16:34,140 --> 01:16:40,860
30s I mean, literally back to
college, not not like a phoenix,

1198
01:16:40,890 --> 01:16:43,380
you know, saying that, like, I'm
sorry, mom picked up the family,

1199
01:16:44,190 --> 01:16:51,390
quit their jobs. And cuz my dad
saw he was like, okay, at 485

1200
01:16:51,390 --> 01:16:55,530
He's starting to see like, the
jobs leaving the country. Mm

1201
01:16:55,530 --> 01:17:00,360
hmm. So he's like, Well, this
job man cuz he had a good job.

1202
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:02,850
He was a technician. He had an
interesting had, he had the

1203
01:17:02,850 --> 01:17:05,520
equivalent what it was to two
year degree, and he had already

1204
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,340
achieved enough credits to get
it but he was saying he hadn't,

1205
01:17:08,340 --> 01:17:10,560
you know, didn't know that he
had enough credit he was you're

1206
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:15,480
still going to school. And, um,
he finally realized that him my

1207
01:17:15,480 --> 01:17:17,700
mom said now like, you know,
what, if we want a better life

1208
01:17:17,700 --> 01:17:22,020
for our kids, we need to make a
decision. And they packed up

1209
01:17:22,020 --> 01:17:25,860
their things pack this up, and
we moved to college town and

1210
01:17:25,860 --> 01:17:28,380
they went to you know,
university. Now when they got

1211
01:17:28,380 --> 01:17:34,350
there. This is when this this is
where the no man house. My dad

1212
01:17:34,350 --> 01:17:39,180
ran into it. Could they tell him
he's like, Well, because they

1213
01:17:39,180 --> 01:17:43,920
couldn't find daycare for me.
Because he was there. So and in

1214
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,590
the social worker literally told
him like, well, the minister was

1215
01:17:46,590 --> 01:17:51,750
to leave the house. We could
find daycare. From Oh,

1216
01:17:53,820 --> 01:17:59,700
wow. Alright, and that was and
that was what year 280 84?

1217
01:18:00,330 --> 01:18:05,940
Wow. Yes. So this is not so
antiquated thing. This is this

1218
01:18:05,940 --> 01:18:09,690
is I've lived most of the stuff
I talked about on the show. I've

1219
01:18:09,690 --> 01:18:14,100
even lived in a one degree away
from it. And my dad's like, hell

1220
01:18:14,100 --> 01:18:17,310
no, I'm not he basically cuts
the lady out. I mean, anger like

1221
01:18:17,310 --> 01:18:24,600
once again, like, What are you
saying? He meant to entice

1222
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:26,850
just insane.

1223
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:31,650
But it was saying I mean, like
normal, like, hey, you know,

1224
01:18:31,650 --> 01:18:35,700
Sammy leaves, we can do y'all to
help you need. And I'm seeing

1225
01:18:35,700 --> 01:18:39,660
the same thing crop up now.
Because when you lose your job,

1226
01:18:39,660 --> 01:18:40,770
you lose your insurance.

1227
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:47,130
Child Protective Services is a
very odd division of government.

1228
01:18:49,290 --> 01:18:57,450
Well, I have a whole lot to say
I have a Yeah. As is very ham

1229
01:18:57,450 --> 01:19:02,820
handed at best. Let me just say
that. It's one approach solves

1230
01:19:02,850 --> 01:19:06,600
all problems. Which in these
cases, no family is the same. No

1231
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,510
child situation is the same. I
don't want to extend goes too

1232
01:19:09,510 --> 01:19:12,300
far down that rabbit hole down
that rabbit hole, but and we'll

1233
01:19:12,300 --> 01:19:16,380
talk about their upcoming shows,
trust me. But the fact that when

1234
01:19:16,380 --> 01:19:21,540
I'm saying is when the woman is
presented with the state, which

1235
01:19:21,540 --> 01:19:27,600
can provide, right? She's
looking at her man, like you

1236
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,660
ain't working. Yep. And it's
somehow like, Well, you wouldn't

1237
01:19:30,660 --> 01:19:33,780
even then it becomes and it's
not my personal choice not to

1238
01:19:33,780 --> 01:19:36,930
make it very clear. But when she
looks at you and say, All you

1239
01:19:36,930 --> 01:19:41,880
had to do was take a shot. I
know right? Now she's like,

1240
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:45,360
well, this government will offer
me Medicaid or Medicare,

1241
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:49,890
whichever one it is. If you're
not around, and I can get help,

1242
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:53,760
I can get daycare. I can get
this. This we're gonna see no

1243
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:59,250
man in the house. 2.0 I believe.
Um, and the cool thing about it

1244
01:19:59,250 --> 01:20:02,790
is pretty To the show because
this is coming from and I know

1245
01:20:02,790 --> 01:20:04,590
there's a lot doback clips but
we had to look at them in

1246
01:20:04,590 --> 01:20:09,060
context now in a certain way
that we have looked at them

1247
01:20:09,060 --> 01:20:13,350
before, but long before me you
hooked up you and John, we're

1248
01:20:13,350 --> 01:20:17,880
doing the no man in the house
because this is actually from a

1249
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:21,510
no agenda clip. I had covered it
as well. But this is what from

1250
01:20:21,510 --> 01:20:24,570
one of the shows it wanted to
produce sent me back for show

1251
01:20:24,570 --> 01:20:28,950
too. But this is a recap of
Noman house one.

1252
01:20:30,090 --> 01:20:37,950
Before we move into Pruitt I go,
the Welfare Department came to

1253
01:20:37,980 --> 01:20:45,330
our home. They talk with my
mother about moving into a

1254
01:20:45,330 --> 01:20:51,510
housing project. But the
stipulation was that my father

1255
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:59,040
could not be with us. They would
put us into the housing project,

1256
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:03,660
only if he left this state.

1257
01:21:04,650 --> 01:21:06,750
Oh, yeah, that's right, the
state I remember this.

1258
01:21:07,620 --> 01:21:14,220
And I said that was then. Now we
talked about 1984. Yeah, Mr.

1259
01:21:14,220 --> 01:21:19,650
Stan, if you just leave,
everything will be alright, what

1260
01:21:19,650 --> 01:21:23,580
was standing as the Father for
you. And I got a weird feeling a

1261
01:21:23,580 --> 01:21:27,180
eerie feeling. This is gonna be
the scenario once again. Because

1262
01:21:27,180 --> 01:21:29,880
once you run through all your
statements, once you run through

1263
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:33,210
each and every option you have,
yeah, there's going

1264
01:21:33,210 --> 01:21:36,870
to be one main difference. And
it's going to be a digital

1265
01:21:36,900 --> 01:21:40,740
payment with a digital wallet
with a central bank, digital

1266
01:21:40,740 --> 01:21:44,460
currency from the Federal
Reserve. That's how they change

1267
01:21:44,460 --> 01:21:47,190
the system. We're going to
remove retail banks, and you're

1268
01:21:47,190 --> 01:21:49,890
going to get direct direct
pipeline to the government,

1269
01:21:49,890 --> 01:21:53,940
which gives them the ultimate
control of giving you something

1270
01:21:53,940 --> 01:21:56,010
extra or taking something away.

1271
01:21:56,430 --> 01:21:58,830
And they can cut you off any
minute you didn't do this. You

1272
01:21:58,830 --> 01:22:00,840
didn't get your update and
you're saying your key is not

1273
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:02,190
updated on their shots,

1274
01:22:02,310 --> 01:22:04,470
or you watch the wrong Netflix
show.

1275
01:22:05,340 --> 01:22:06,810
Or listen to the wrong podcast.

1276
01:22:08,430 --> 01:22:10,500
ixnay on the odd guy, odd cast
pay.

1277
01:22:12,330 --> 01:22:16,590
I'm sorry. You know how it goes.
I mean, this is the time that

1278
01:22:16,590 --> 01:22:21,300
we're in there with you. So
let's just get into this second

1279
01:22:21,300 --> 01:22:25,590
No, no man clip the welfare
department had a rule that no

1280
01:22:25,590 --> 01:22:29,760
able bodied man could be in the
house if a woman received aid

1281
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:34,590
for dependent children was a man
lost his job. He's looking for

1282
01:22:34,590 --> 01:22:39,150
work, he still had to leave the
home. And there was even a night

1283
01:22:39,150 --> 01:22:43,200
staff of men who worked for the
welfare department whose job was

1284
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:47,490
to go to the homes of welfare
recipients and they searched to

1285
01:22:47,490 --> 01:22:49,260
find if there was a man in the
home

1286
01:22:49,350 --> 01:22:53,520
i Remember also our our second
episode talking about this how

1287
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,190
mind blowing it was to really
understand in depth what had

1288
01:22:56,190 --> 01:23:00,300
gone on and was still going on.
And and just coming back for

1289
01:23:01,470 --> 01:23:05,520
it was going on because dudes to
wrap up the story my personal

1290
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:11,400
story. Oh, my dad was like
before I leave, we had to send

1291
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:13,050
mo to live with his grandparents

1292
01:23:13,950 --> 01:23:17,370
with his auntie and uncle in Bel
Air right? No.

1293
01:23:19,110 --> 01:23:23,010
Grandma and Grandpa ritual
apartments which I he was in the

1294
01:23:23,010 --> 01:23:25,530
country, they call them
projects, but they were rent

1295
01:23:25,530 --> 01:23:29,640
controlled apartments. And
literally, he was the man

1296
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:30,930
renting out the back door

1297
01:23:31,260 --> 01:23:34,200
when the inspectors came. Yes,
yeah.

1298
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:39,840
So I'm, like I said I've lived
this and so now it's like okay,

1299
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:44,970
now I see what the state set
with this. Because whether I'm

1300
01:23:44,970 --> 01:23:50,010
right or not, I feel like
there's an enemy contra break me

1301
01:23:50,010 --> 01:23:57,540
to their wheel. And I don't care
how how kumbaya or nama stay and

1302
01:23:57,540 --> 01:24:00,450
all that you are. When you feel
like you have a target on your

1303
01:24:00,450 --> 01:24:06,720
back. It's gonna make you angry.
Yeah. It's gonna make it's gonna

1304
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,540
make you angry. Now, like I
said, My anger is different.

1305
01:24:10,230 --> 01:24:14,850
Because I do have other options
before me, but that still

1306
01:24:14,850 --> 01:24:19,440
doesn't negate the fact that
someone arbitrarily just do.

1307
01:24:19,470 --> 01:24:23,460
You're saying a whole damn
wrinkle in my whole life? Behind

1308
01:24:23,460 --> 01:24:28,830
what? For what reason for what
outcome?

1309
01:24:31,140 --> 01:24:33,960
Yeah, again, I only have one
answer.

1310
01:24:36,450 --> 01:24:40,800
What is that? I mean, I say it
one more time. It's intentional.

1311
01:24:40,830 --> 01:24:47,490
It's intentional. So, so if it's
intentional what is that now

1312
01:24:47,490 --> 01:24:51,150
that ratcheted up the anger?
He's like, if it was ignorance,

1313
01:24:51,150 --> 01:24:53,400
it's like, okay, they're just
ignorant. You know, I mean, even

1314
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,200
though I'm mad and I'm saying
Nate was ignorant, you were

1315
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:59,310
saying was ignorant mistake, if
it's intentional. Now I got to

1316
01:24:59,310 --> 01:25:03,000
see like how Are you willing to
take it? I think that's where a

1317
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:06,690
lot of people you heard one lady
said about the mask, you know,

1318
01:25:06,690 --> 01:25:09,480
saying it was in the news. I'm
gonna show it with all my guns

1319
01:25:09,480 --> 01:25:14,250
loaded. Did you see that?

1320
01:25:15,030 --> 01:25:17,580
I didn't, but I understand. I
understand. She was

1321
01:25:17,579 --> 01:25:20,759
at a school board meeting. She
was like, I'm gonna show up.

1322
01:25:21,749 --> 01:25:26,309
When you start hearing people
talk like that. Somebody needs

1323
01:25:26,309 --> 01:25:27,929
to doubt that the pressure
somewhere?

1324
01:25:28,499 --> 01:25:32,369
Well, I think Canada will lead
the way. We'll see what happens

1325
01:25:32,369 --> 01:25:35,669
with these truckers and that
will that they're going to be

1326
01:25:35,999 --> 01:25:37,889
it's going to be resolved one
way or the other. And it's going

1327
01:25:37,889 --> 01:25:41,729
to happen pretty soon. I don't
think this will last very long.

1328
01:25:42,659 --> 01:25:43,199
And you know

1329
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:48,570
what, that's where we differ.
And this is his perspective.

1330
01:25:49,440 --> 01:25:56,580
Because this system, they No,
no, stop, in my mind. They know

1331
01:25:56,610 --> 01:25:57,780
it. No,

1332
01:25:57,780 --> 01:26:00,840
I don't think we differ at all.
I'm saying that protest is not

1333
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:05,670
going to last very long one. The
pressure? No, no, the pressure

1334
01:26:05,670 --> 01:26:08,130
is on for a long. This is just
the beginning. We're just

1335
01:26:08,130 --> 01:26:11,880
getting started. Okay, Mr. Mr.
Joe? No, no, no, no, no, I'm

1336
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:14,700
with you on that. This is what
this is why we connect so well.

1337
01:26:14,730 --> 01:26:16,860
We know that these are reptiles
doing this.

1338
01:26:17,310 --> 01:26:21,570
Like this. I think it was a
Neely, Fuller said don't be

1339
01:26:21,570 --> 01:26:25,710
confused and think that they're
confused. Exactly. It seems like

1340
01:26:25,710 --> 01:26:27,960
they're like, what they're all
over the place. Like what are

1341
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,930
they doing? No. Do they know
clue accent? Do they know what

1342
01:26:30,930 --> 01:26:33,960
they're doing? Do? I mean? Do
they realize that's the thing?

1343
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,350
That's the question. But don't
ever begin your scent when

1344
01:26:37,350 --> 01:26:40,110
you're talking about they
capital A. We don't ever begin

1345
01:26:40,110 --> 01:26:44,310
your sentence. They do they
realize they realize what

1346
01:26:44,310 --> 01:26:49,620
they're doing. And I've been
caught up in it. And like I

1347
01:26:49,620 --> 01:26:54,450
said, it's the frustration and
somewhat of the shame because if

1348
01:26:54,450 --> 01:26:59,160
you've never not worked, but how
do you say I don't even know how

1349
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:02,040
to say that. Like, I don't work.
I'm not working. You don't say

1350
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:06,240
like that's like I said that's a
personal issue. But that's still

1351
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:08,580
weird sentence for me to say.

1352
01:27:09,060 --> 01:27:13,140
But you are working. You may not
be employed by a company, but

1353
01:27:13,140 --> 01:27:14,100
you are working

1354
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:17,730
on staying working. I'm
definitely working on a word to

1355
01:27:17,730 --> 01:27:20,910
say is employed. Let me say it
when you say you're not

1356
01:27:20,910 --> 01:27:21,660
employed.

1357
01:27:22,410 --> 01:27:25,620
Yeah, but you don't say that. I
say I'm self employed. Right.

1358
01:27:26,460 --> 01:27:30,630
But I'm coming from a place of
being a worker for 25 years.

1359
01:27:30,630 --> 01:27:34,650
Yeah. Oh, I know. That's a weird
sentence to put

1360
01:27:35,490 --> 01:27:38,100
out. But I also I also know you
a little bit and you've got it

1361
01:27:38,100 --> 01:27:41,220
all in you. You are you have
everything you need in there.

1362
01:27:41,850 --> 01:27:44,760
Oh, yeah. And it still was not
all doom and gloom. But what I'm

1363
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:48,690
saying is, first, we have to
understand what it's like it's

1364
01:27:48,690 --> 01:27:54,570
not about me. Because it's
people out here that made the

1365
01:27:54,570 --> 01:27:58,050
same decision I had, and they
don't know where their next

1366
01:27:59,130 --> 01:28:03,420
check is coming from right there
now dollars coming from those

1367
01:28:03,420 --> 01:28:09,810
kind of you know, so I have to
speak for the experience to say

1368
01:28:09,810 --> 01:28:15,600
one to them, goes to talk to
somebody. For the people that

1369
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:20,460
know people like that reach out
to your brother. You're saying

1370
01:28:20,490 --> 01:28:23,880
and your sisters whoever saying
but for me and I said I'm making

1371
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:29,640
a show about men, because the
expectation to provide is baked

1372
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:36,210
into our identity. Absolutely,
absolutely. It's hard, hardcore.

1373
01:28:37,650 --> 01:28:41,280
I got to tell my wife all the
time. If people come to our

1374
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:45,750
house, and it's messy, they're
gonna look at you every put out

1375
01:28:45,870 --> 01:28:48,270
on the street. They're gonna
look at me. That's just the

1376
01:28:48,270 --> 01:28:52,140
social norms of it. Nobody's
gonna be like, like Wow, did you

1377
01:28:52,140 --> 01:28:55,170
see most houses really a mess?
Right now? What is it? What is

1378
01:28:55,170 --> 01:28:56,910
he doing over there? They're
gonna look at the woman because

1379
01:28:56,910 --> 01:29:01,320
it's just assume that the woman
takes care of the home and make

1380
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:03,870
it knock said that could be
totally far from the truth but

1381
01:29:04,020 --> 01:29:10,530
social expectation, I'm talking
about social norms. So we talked

1382
01:29:10,530 --> 01:29:15,000
about no man house and my dad he
was placed with the same thing.

1383
01:29:15,300 --> 01:29:18,300
And he was like, You know what,
I'm not going to come to the

1384
01:29:18,330 --> 01:29:22,020
Nomad no man house so they sent
me to live with my grandparents

1385
01:29:22,020 --> 01:29:27,390
which I think it had an impact
on me to live with older people

1386
01:29:27,390 --> 01:29:33,120
for a year and a half two years
and gave me a perspective like

1387
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:41,520
no other because their their
wisdom. He was constantly

1388
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:47,790
interesting to showered on me.
So am I'm just like, say you

1389
01:29:47,790 --> 01:29:50,790
just get another kind of love
from grandparents, you know?

1390
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,270
Sure. A little different from
parent love. So I don't regret

1391
01:29:54,270 --> 01:29:58,470
that and my parents don't regret
that but the stigma and shame my

1392
01:29:58,470 --> 01:30:03,090
father felt So you're saying
that you had to send one of your

1393
01:30:03,090 --> 01:30:06,810
kids away. And we saw this with
the Great Depression, CD thing.

1394
01:30:07,260 --> 01:30:11,550
We, it's not harping on history,
we got to look backwards. Um,

1395
01:30:11,580 --> 01:30:13,950
the Great Depression, a lot of
people had to send their kids

1396
01:30:13,980 --> 01:30:22,530
away, because they were
starving. So it's by, here we

1397
01:30:22,530 --> 01:30:26,670
are again, I wasn't starving,
because if they wanted to have a

1398
01:30:26,670 --> 01:30:29,100
better life than they had to
send me away, you know, that

1399
01:30:29,100 --> 01:30:33,180
kind of thing. And the shame
that he felt, even to this day,

1400
01:30:33,180 --> 01:30:35,340
he apologized to me, it's like
that, well, you're apologizing

1401
01:30:35,340 --> 01:30:37,410
for your way, you know, how to
do what I had to do, you know,

1402
01:30:37,410 --> 01:30:41,760
for the better life, or that
kind of thing. So I say I've

1403
01:30:42,180 --> 01:30:45,450
experienced someone in the
middle of their life make a

1404
01:30:45,450 --> 01:30:49,770
decision. That's a better
decision in the long run, but

1405
01:30:49,770 --> 01:30:51,870
it's gonna be hard. It was hard
those years when they went to

1406
01:30:51,870 --> 01:30:56,940
college. I mean, it was like the
1.2 places we ate out it was

1407
01:30:56,940 --> 01:31:03,090
like Domino's Pizza. And
Wendy's, who actually get like,

1408
01:31:03,090 --> 01:31:05,910
go to Wendy's like a steakhouse.
Yeah, and I remember Tuesday,

1409
01:31:05,910 --> 01:31:08,220
like with the ketchup, like
pumping the ketchup and the

1410
01:31:08,220 --> 01:31:10,710
cups, man, you would think we
were going like two cylinders?

1411
01:31:14,220 --> 01:31:19,830
Yeah, yeah. But like, that's the
know, him making the best news

1412
01:31:19,830 --> 01:31:24,930
and a tough situation. So this
next clip is from the family.

1413
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:28,860
And that was the the Christian
Illuminati basically. Oh, yeah.

1414
01:31:28,890 --> 01:31:33,780
ran, ran by duck Co. And this
also comes from the comm Kanye

1415
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:39,180
episode. But this is the family,
the black guy talking about, you

1416
01:31:39,180 --> 01:31:43,170
know, the frustration, but also
dealing with anger as well.

1417
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:46,380
And often men and especially who
are confronted with themselves,

1418
01:31:46,530 --> 01:31:51,990
they don't like what they see.
And they don't like it being put

1419
01:31:51,990 --> 01:31:57,090
in their face and spoken to what
it actually is in its ugly

1420
01:31:57,120 --> 01:32:03,960
database. But my point is, is
the shame keeps us locked in our

1421
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:07,650
circumstances. And then if we
don't deal with shame, right, we

1422
01:32:07,650 --> 01:32:10,590
start playing me we blame our
wives. We blame white folk, we

1423
01:32:10,590 --> 01:32:14,610
blame Blackboard, we blame the
economy. We blame doctrine,

1424
01:32:14,700 --> 01:32:19,320
everybody. There's nothing
scarier in this country than a

1425
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:25,410
free black man speaking. Why?
Because we've been through some

1426
01:32:25,410 --> 01:32:26,130
shit here.

1427
01:32:30,480 --> 01:32:36,480
Yeah, so that's that's the where
all this anger said. And it may

1428
01:32:36,480 --> 01:32:40,500
be justified, that I feel angry.
I'll put myself in this

1429
01:32:40,500 --> 01:32:45,330
position. Right to be dependent
upon a company for this long,

1430
01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:47,460
you know, saying like, it's
their choice, at the end of the

1431
01:32:47,460 --> 01:32:50,670
day, whatever they want to do.
So what you have to do is

1432
01:32:50,670 --> 01:32:54,630
reflect on yourself and say, Hi,
I will not get myself in this

1433
01:32:54,630 --> 01:33:00,360
position again, right? By right.
Well as you want to absolve

1434
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:05,250
yourself, have your know what
you took part in, even though

1435
01:33:05,250 --> 01:33:08,040
that was a social contract, even
though there was an

1436
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:12,330
understanding. At the end of the
day, if somebody else feeds you,

1437
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:15,780
you're at their behest. Right,
you know, so this is what we

1438
01:33:15,780 --> 01:33:16,530
have to sell.

1439
01:33:19,410 --> 01:33:22,980
A lot of young people younger
than you, but a decade younger,

1440
01:33:23,100 --> 01:33:26,460
are just kind of now figuring
out that there's no free lunch.

1441
01:33:29,010 --> 01:33:32,670
Now, it's like if you say, no,
but if you accept something,

1442
01:33:33,030 --> 01:33:37,650
then there's going to be strings
attached to it. Right? And it's

1443
01:33:37,650 --> 01:33:42,060
not even about a free lunch.
It's about there's no

1444
01:33:42,210 --> 01:33:45,420
lunch. There's no lunch. Right?
Exactly.

1445
01:33:46,950 --> 01:33:49,530
There's there's no cafeteria,
and you got to go out and kill

1446
01:33:49,530 --> 01:33:52,110
what you eat. Or you got to eat
with the cafeteria gives you?

1447
01:33:53,250 --> 01:33:59,490
Yep. Ah, I'm sorry, I apologize.
You're saying but for for

1448
01:33:59,490 --> 01:34:01,800
stepping on you like right
there. But no, no, it's okay.

1449
01:34:01,950 --> 01:34:04,920
Now, it was just like I said,
I'm in my own head right now.

1450
01:34:05,610 --> 01:34:08,700
And like, I wanted to do this
episode, and I went back and

1451
01:34:08,700 --> 01:34:11,970
forth on it. Still about the
shame like well, you can't let

1452
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:14,760
you know. You got to keep
errors. That's the thing. You

1453
01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:17,670
got to keep up appearances. You
got to keep up. You know,

1454
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:19,800
everything is all right. And

1455
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:24,510
what you're what you're doing
here is, I think this beautiful

1456
01:34:24,510 --> 01:34:30,660
to listen to your venting. Yes,
yes. You built your own barber

1457
01:34:30,660 --> 01:34:35,820
shop here. I may not be the
right guy to be saying stuff

1458
01:34:35,820 --> 01:34:39,630
back to you. But as a man I can.
And I think everyone who listens

1459
01:34:39,630 --> 01:34:42,330
has the same feeling. It is kind
of like hey, we're in this

1460
01:34:42,330 --> 01:34:44,910
barber shop this. This brother
over here has got some shit to

1461
01:34:44,910 --> 01:34:47,640
say. And it's good. It's good to
hear it.

1462
01:34:48,090 --> 01:34:52,200
And don't underestimate the fact
when we come and do this is very

1463
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:56,910
helpful. A lot of the times when
I make shows is when I'm either

1464
01:34:56,910 --> 01:35:02,460
processing o r are being made
aware of Oh, and we need to keep

1465
01:35:02,460 --> 01:35:06,450
an eye on that. Or maybe people
are going through this. And this

1466
01:35:06,450 --> 01:35:11,790
is not about me because yes, I
am angry where I was angry, make

1467
01:35:11,790 --> 01:35:16,950
a team to be angry. But it's how
do I channel that anger into

1468
01:35:16,950 --> 01:35:20,400
something constructive? And
that's what I hope people take

1469
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:23,580
away from this. Whether you're
dealing with a loved one, a

1470
01:35:23,580 --> 01:35:27,090
wife, a wife, dealing with their
husbands, husband dealing with

1471
01:35:27,090 --> 01:35:29,040
their kids, or dealing with
their sales or brothers,

1472
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:32,790
whatever else, realize, even
when people say they're okay,

1473
01:35:32,790 --> 01:35:33,870
they're not okay.

1474
01:35:35,700 --> 01:35:39,000
Yeah, this is a very good point
to be okay, Tina, and I remind

1475
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:42,810
each other of this often, if
someone has a weird response

1476
01:35:42,810 --> 01:35:46,890
about something, or you know,
families, just stuff, and we

1477
01:35:46,890 --> 01:35:49,290
always had say, Okay, let's just
look at their situation from

1478
01:35:49,290 --> 01:35:53,280
their viewpoint for the past two
years. Now, let's just bring

1479
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:56,760
that in for a moment. So you can
kind of okay, ah, all right. So

1480
01:35:56,790 --> 01:35:59,490
someone may be a little more on
edge than than I may be.

1481
01:36:01,770 --> 01:36:07,920
Yeah, in, they may be dying for
you to say something to them.

1482
01:36:08,850 --> 01:36:14,190
Just like, I wish somebody will
ask me, am I okay? Yeah. Ah, and

1483
01:36:14,190 --> 01:36:16,770
that's why, like, when you
separate somebody from their

1484
01:36:16,770 --> 01:36:22,260
job, you separate them from a
part of their culture. It's no,

1485
01:36:22,260 --> 01:36:26,370
we have work families, and
somebody that sees you every

1486
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:29,760
year saying every five days a
week, every day at the lunch

1487
01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:34,950
table, they can sense something,
right? And it's like, do you I,

1488
01:36:35,310 --> 01:36:38,520
it's like not, honestly, I, and
then you're getting a

1489
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:41,310
conversation about a time to
lunch is over. You're all

1490
01:36:41,310 --> 01:36:44,820
laughing and you left it there,
that kind of thing. So at least

1491
01:36:44,820 --> 01:36:49,590
like because the people that you
work with, they share your

1492
01:36:49,590 --> 01:36:52,140
social economic status,

1493
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:56,220
oh, it's not just a job. It's
very important. An important

1494
01:36:56,220 --> 01:36:57,090
part of life.

1495
01:36:57,780 --> 01:37:00,840
And they can understand when you
say, Oh, well, you know, my

1496
01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:03,750
transmission went out, you know,
interesting, a couple 1000 Ooh.

1497
01:37:04,110 --> 01:37:07,740
But can they understand like, we
make similar money, understand

1498
01:37:07,740 --> 01:37:13,050
how that hits you. Whereas if
somebody either they don't have

1499
01:37:13,050 --> 01:37:15,840
a car, or they don't have all
ages have the money they might

1500
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:20,220
not understand. So this the
separation for that. I would say

1501
01:37:20,220 --> 01:37:25,440
to people start forming your own
groups. I think that's why the

1502
01:37:25,440 --> 01:37:28,770
no agenda meetups are important.
Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think

1503
01:37:28,770 --> 01:37:31,980
that's why the facts family when
they come to the live chat, they

1504
01:37:31,980 --> 01:37:38,130
look forward to seeing each
other. Um, so yeah, so it's, you

1505
01:37:38,130 --> 01:37:41,070
have to start forming other
groups, because we've had me

1506
01:37:41,070 --> 01:37:46,410
personally, no church, no
barbershop, no job. That is very

1507
01:37:46,410 --> 01:37:50,280
isolating feeling. Now, I'm
planning this next to the clips.

1508
01:37:50,670 --> 01:37:55,380
As for clips, and this is a
1960, frustrated, man demands

1509
01:37:55,410 --> 01:37:58,410
America keep their word. The
reason why I'm playing these

1510
01:37:58,470 --> 01:38:04,230
next four clips is when I hear
this, I hear my father. And then

1511
01:38:04,230 --> 01:38:10,140
now also hear myself. And
hopefully, it gives some insight

1512
01:38:10,440 --> 01:38:15,720
to that ratio program. I talked
about how it how it forms. So

1513
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:18,570
let's go ahead and get to the
first part of that clip. Here.

1514
01:38:19,980 --> 01:38:23,490
Revolution is filled with so
many ironies really, first, you

1515
01:38:23,490 --> 01:38:27,690
tell us that it is men need to
keep your word. Right, if you

1516
01:38:27,690 --> 01:38:32,340
are a man, you keep your word.
And now all of the black people

1517
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:35,130
in this country are demanding
and even the black people in the

1518
01:38:35,130 --> 01:38:39,660
whole world are demanding is
that you keep your word. You

1519
01:38:39,660 --> 01:38:44,430
told us we were free? Well then
show us that we're free. You

1520
01:38:44,430 --> 01:38:48,060
told us that there is justice
equality for all in this country

1521
01:38:48,060 --> 01:38:52,020
woven kit, stick to your word.
And let us see the justice and

1522
01:38:52,020 --> 01:38:56,400
equality for all or else admit
to us that you're not a man you

1523
01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:58,740
were worried you were afraid of
us you were afraid to give us

1524
01:38:58,770 --> 01:39:02,910
equal stand. You're afraid that
if you give us equal ground that

1525
01:39:02,910 --> 01:39:06,960
we will match you and we will
override you and if that's what

1526
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:10,350
you're afraid of us then tell us
that just what you're afraid of,

1527
01:39:10,830 --> 01:39:14,370
but don't keep hiding it from us
and holding this up to us and

1528
01:39:14,370 --> 01:39:17,160
every time we ask you for
something, you give us a little

1529
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:20,640
bit of something and it's all
tokenism we don't want tokenism

1530
01:39:21,090 --> 01:39:25,320
and then most black men in this
wallet don't want charity. And

1531
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:27,480
yet still every time we ask you
for something you give us a

1532
01:39:27,480 --> 01:39:30,420
little piece a little piece
you're playing games with us

1533
01:39:30,450 --> 01:39:31,440
when our children

1534
01:39:34,470 --> 01:39:38,550
so you hear the intensity. And
like said that's my thought like

1535
01:39:38,790 --> 01:39:42,630
that's what time my father's
own. Like even in his 80s Now

1536
01:39:42,630 --> 01:39:48,570
he's intense person. So that's
like I said, we're not here to

1537
01:39:48,570 --> 01:39:48,780
shoot.

1538
01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:51,240
Like, Fred Sanford.

1539
01:39:52,199 --> 01:39:57,809
Well, I'll say this. My dad is a
mix between I'll say more George

1540
01:39:57,809 --> 01:39:58,349
Jefferson,

1541
01:39:58,350 --> 01:39:59,970
George Jefferson. Okay. Yeah,
that's it.

1542
01:40:00,750 --> 01:40:07,590
I mean, like, seriously? Ah, and
maybe James Evans like a Bill

1543
01:40:07,590 --> 01:40:09,930
Cosby like if you put all of
those in like, Uh

1544
01:40:10,170 --> 01:40:11,940
oh, that sounds pretty cool
actually.

1545
01:40:12,690 --> 01:40:17,550
Because cuz one charity when he
made there, and that, that's

1546
01:40:17,550 --> 01:40:25,650
what makes you say, I'm good at
maths, maths and I'm good. i

1547
01:40:25,650 --> 01:40:29,400
You're saying me something I'm
good, even though you may be

1548
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:33,840
broke, and don't have $1 in your
pocket, before I let you know,

1549
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:38,940
I'm not good, I'll go hungry.
And maybe, maybe these, this

1550
01:40:38,940 --> 01:40:45,630
isn't the most ignorant mindset
to have. But when you have the

1551
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:54,540
disappearance thing of, well, if
I ask for something that only

1552
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,630
reaffirms in your mind that
black people can't do for

1553
01:40:57,630 --> 01:41:05,250
themselves. So we got to fake it
till we make it. And like I

1554
01:41:05,250 --> 01:41:08,100
said, I'm going through the
mental process now in my own

1555
01:41:08,100 --> 01:41:13,800
head and transfer it out. So he
crosses microphone for people to

1556
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:19,290
feel me. Yeah, I feel you. It's
like, okay, let me let me ask

1557
01:41:21,330 --> 01:41:25,890
you at any point and ask because
I want to make sure we so when

1558
01:41:25,890 --> 01:41:26,700
we understand

1559
01:41:27,030 --> 01:41:30,090
when we first connected, and you
reached out to me, and we're

1560
01:41:30,090 --> 01:41:35,340
chatting back and forth. And
then I think I suggested Hey, we

1561
01:41:35,340 --> 01:41:41,190
should do this as a podcast.
Now. And I don't know if you if

1562
01:41:41,190 --> 01:41:45,180
you can ask this if you want to,
but did you for at least a while

1563
01:41:45,180 --> 01:41:46,650
thing? We'll see.

1564
01:41:49,050 --> 01:41:51,390
Let me let me just pick up and
give you a pleat, complete

1565
01:41:51,420 --> 01:41:57,210
honest answer to this question,
one. I would never ask you to do

1566
01:41:57,210 --> 01:42:01,170
a show if you didn't ask me.
Right. That goes there. I'm

1567
01:42:01,170 --> 01:42:05,190
good, man. I wish that's the
ignorance. That would have been

1568
01:42:05,190 --> 01:42:09,690
done to me not to but that goes
to the I'm good. Since like,

1569
01:42:10,500 --> 01:42:14,940
right? I never asked for help. A
lot of things with the show. It

1570
01:42:14,940 --> 01:42:17,190
comes out of that. It's like,
Man, I could I could do this.

1571
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:18,120
No, no, you

1572
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:20,910
actually came offering me help.
You never asked me for anything.

1573
01:42:20,910 --> 01:42:23,190
You were telling me. You were
giving me information. I was

1574
01:42:23,190 --> 01:42:24,570
asking you for stuff.

1575
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:29,760
Right? So I'm just saying mess.
That's how, you know, saying

1576
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:32,130
validate your place in life. And
in the world. You're saying

1577
01:42:32,130 --> 01:42:36,930
like, I got this. I got this
under control. Now you asked. In

1578
01:42:36,930 --> 01:42:40,350
the back of my mind, what do you
mean, in the back of my mind? Do

1579
01:42:40,380 --> 01:42:41,940
I think you were just blowing
smoke?

1580
01:42:42,329 --> 01:42:46,679
No, I mean, more than I was was
I? I don't know. I'm just I'm

1581
01:42:46,679 --> 01:42:51,029
just curious. Not just, I mean,
I mean, so did you at any point

1582
01:42:51,029 --> 01:42:53,609
feel? Oh, here's this white guy
gonna help the black guy?

1583
01:42:54,449 --> 01:42:57,869
No. Okay. Good. I didn't. I
didn't never think that I

1584
01:42:57,869 --> 01:42:58,439
thought,

1585
01:42:58,530 --> 01:43:02,130
but I can understand why when
you talk about your programming,

1586
01:43:02,130 --> 01:43:05,190
and I'm, I'm hearing some of
these things that wouldn't be

1587
01:43:05,220 --> 01:43:10,350
in. There you go, we've learned
something. The things I think

1588
01:43:11,220 --> 01:43:16,260
you're thinking, because of a
small difference in in us are

1589
01:43:16,260 --> 01:43:20,550
not the things you're thinking.
And you're actually you're

1590
01:43:20,550 --> 01:43:23,550
actually pissed off or worried
about? I'm not considering?

1591
01:43:24,390 --> 01:43:28,530
Yeah, and I'm going to ask you a
question. Give you a scenario.

1592
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:34,650
If you asked me to do that.
Without me proving myself, then

1593
01:43:34,650 --> 01:43:37,530
I would have probably took that
approach. But the fact that you

1594
01:43:37,530 --> 01:43:40,830
waited to see and you decided to
work with me based off of my

1595
01:43:40,830 --> 01:43:45,210
ability and skills crossed my
mind. Okay. Yeah, that's true.

1596
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:47,790
That's true, because it would
have been the first time it'd

1597
01:43:47,790 --> 01:43:50,250
been like, Oh, this is an
outreach program or charity,

1598
01:43:50,280 --> 01:43:53,790
because I got, I got accused of
that. I'm sure you did. Yeah.

1599
01:43:53,820 --> 01:43:56,100
But they don't understand the
work that we did. You're saying

1600
01:43:56,100 --> 01:43:59,730
prior to it actually coming to
the public? Correct? Correct.

1601
01:44:00,030 --> 01:44:04,980
That we both got to some
understandings. So yeah, it's

1602
01:44:04,980 --> 01:44:09,330
the timing that you chose to use
of saying, Hold on, let me wait.

1603
01:44:09,990 --> 01:44:13,290
Not even wait, but I'm asking
this person because I've seen

1604
01:44:13,290 --> 01:44:18,270
that he's a valid. You know,
he's capable of this.

1605
01:44:18,330 --> 01:44:20,670
I liked our conversations. I
thought it would be fun to

1606
01:44:20,670 --> 01:44:21,210
record them.

1607
01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:25,770
Right, right. What y'all are
witnessing is basically what we

1608
01:44:25,770 --> 01:44:28,380
would do. You're saying in
general.

1609
01:44:30,660 --> 01:44:36,870
But this is my takeaway. Very
important, actually. So the

1610
01:44:36,870 --> 01:44:40,710
stuff that people were worried
about, and that of course, I

1611
01:44:40,710 --> 01:44:44,550
also had crossed my mind. It's
not something at all that you

1612
01:44:44,580 --> 01:44:46,500
that you thought about even
though of course, I had no

1613
01:44:46,500 --> 01:44:49,800
reason to think that because
you're absolutely right. It was

1614
01:44:49,830 --> 01:44:52,680
I was only thinking of a show
when I thought holy crap. You

1615
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:55,800
were talking for an hour we
should do an hour and record it.

1616
01:44:55,830 --> 01:44:59,340
You know, little did I know it
was consumed like an entire day.

1617
01:45:01,230 --> 01:45:08,160
I'm just kidding. You know, and
but still, that was what was

1618
01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:12,450
circling around. And you had no
thoughts of that whatsoever. And

1619
01:45:12,450 --> 01:45:15,720
then, you know, I'm hearing
today, of course, stuff I

1620
01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:18,300
understand it's universal, but
stuff that I didn't know.

1621
01:45:20,070 --> 01:45:22,590
And that's, that's kind of what
this show was about. Like I

1622
01:45:22,590 --> 01:45:26,340
said, this is more of a personal
show. Because oftentimes, I make

1623
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:29,190
the show about the content,
whatever the story is in the

1624
01:45:29,190 --> 01:45:33,540
media, and just how I perceive
it. But this is an inward look

1625
01:45:33,990 --> 01:45:37,050
to say what's going on outside
and how it affects me

1626
01:45:37,050 --> 01:45:37,710
internally. You

1627
01:45:37,710 --> 01:45:42,180
didn't tell me that or us that
you witnessed the no man about

1628
01:45:42,180 --> 01:45:46,680
the house when we did that show.
Right? Why not?

1629
01:45:47,130 --> 01:45:50,490
Because it was more about the
story, not me. Now, it's that's

1630
01:45:50,490 --> 01:45:54,930
why I say a lot of these clips.
They're throwback clips, but

1631
01:45:54,930 --> 01:45:59,580
we're looking at their in meat
internalizing or how it affected

1632
01:45:59,580 --> 01:46:04,290
me personally. Before it was
about the the presentation, I

1633
01:46:04,290 --> 01:46:07,800
was trying to give them the
topic. Got it. So it's, like I

1634
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,980
said, this, I was a little leery
about using throwback clips.

1635
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:14,640
Because I want to make sure we
always have fresh content. But

1636
01:46:14,700 --> 01:46:18,420
it needs you gotta remember, I
grew up with to pot. Yep, you're

1637
01:46:18,420 --> 01:46:21,510
saying 92 hours? 1294? And 14?

1638
01:46:21,540 --> 01:46:24,840
No, you are you are consuming
that shit. Like no one else's

1639
01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:25,470
business.

1640
01:46:25,590 --> 01:46:29,100
I was living it. Consume me,
you're living? Right? I'm

1641
01:46:29,100 --> 01:46:32,640
actually because that means, of
course, when you lose a teenager

1642
01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:35,460
by rockstars those kind of
things, you know, saying, Hey,

1643
01:46:35,550 --> 01:46:39,570
you actually live it, you know?
It because it has an impact on

1644
01:46:39,570 --> 01:46:44,760
you. But you know, we're living
this mentality. So I'm just

1645
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:47,880
going back and saying, This is
what this is how these things

1646
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:52,260
stack up, you know, and shaped
me. And like I said, these next

1647
01:46:52,410 --> 01:46:55,950
three or four clips total. But
these next three clips, is that

1648
01:46:55,950 --> 01:47:01,140
what shaped it shaped my
mindset? via my father, but you

1649
01:47:01,140 --> 01:47:04,080
don't ask for help. You're
saying you don't let nobody

1650
01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:08,610
know, you know, you need help.
You don't ask for charity. And

1651
01:47:08,610 --> 01:47:11,790
this is not exclusive to black
because one of the famous scenes

1652
01:47:11,790 --> 01:47:15,600
in a awesome movie Cinderella
Man, when he finally had to go

1653
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:19,590
to the welfare office and get
help. Once he got back on his

1654
01:47:19,590 --> 01:47:26,550
feet, he went and paid it back.
So it's a it's a very old,

1655
01:47:26,580 --> 01:47:32,310
masculine mindset, um, that you
don't take charity that you

1656
01:47:32,310 --> 01:47:36,270
don't take help. Not only no
help lifting this, no, I got the

1657
01:47:37,200 --> 01:47:41,130
you don't ask for help. But what
I'm saying to people is it's

1658
01:47:41,190 --> 01:47:45,090
okay to ask for help. Because of
your feeling like I was feeling

1659
01:47:45,450 --> 01:47:48,210
and I gotta stop right now. You
of course I thank you. You're

1660
01:47:48,210 --> 01:47:52,680
saying but I also got to give
thanks to my man Eclass he's

1661
01:47:52,680 --> 01:47:58,770
been through this process with
me through the whole thing. And

1662
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:02,730
that's what kept me saying the
conversations me and him having

1663
01:48:02,730 --> 01:48:06,240
you were saying behind the
scenes? Ah, because

1664
01:48:07,350 --> 01:48:09,180
I know, I know is really
important to you.

1665
01:48:09,630 --> 01:48:13,470
Yeah. Cuz we weren't at the same
place. So he understands what I

1666
01:48:13,470 --> 01:48:16,260
had to go through to where I
got, you know, and but at the

1667
01:48:16,260 --> 01:48:20,340
same time, he took the jump off
the porch earlier than I did on

1668
01:48:20,340 --> 01:48:23,490
a being an entrepreneur. So now
I can go to him ask him like,

1669
01:48:23,490 --> 01:48:26,820
okay, that kind of thing. So you
never know how important your

1670
01:48:26,820 --> 01:48:32,460
brother is. And how important
you know. They are to you. So I

1671
01:48:32,460 --> 01:48:36,330
got to stop now and just thank
him as well. Like say we of

1672
01:48:36,330 --> 01:48:39,060
course we do this here publicly,
but I just want to give him his

1673
01:48:39,390 --> 01:48:44,730
his flowers. Now he's living.
He's living. Yeah. Because

1674
01:48:44,730 --> 01:48:49,650
that's a lot of times I'll be
like, oh age like, man. I can't

1675
01:48:49,650 --> 01:48:54,150
believe a PvP will play with me.
Right? Well, man, all right, cuz

1676
01:48:54,150 --> 01:48:57,060
you remind me like you reminded
me. You're a free man your

1677
01:48:57,060 --> 01:49:01,920
future's bright in front of you.
Oh, yeah. Right, but they upset

1678
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:08,160
my whole applecart. Yes, I was
on the verge of buying another

1679
01:49:08,160 --> 01:49:10,440
property and all these other
things and like they just kind

1680
01:49:10,440 --> 01:49:13,770
of this came in and like this
kick during all that. So that's

1681
01:49:13,770 --> 01:49:15,990
what anger came from. But we can
go and get to the second clip

1682
01:49:15,990 --> 01:49:16,230
now.

1683
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:20,460
What big man I've seen my father
have to put it where all kinds

1684
01:49:20,460 --> 01:49:24,330
of stuff. He was a big man. He
raised the family. He went down

1685
01:49:24,330 --> 01:49:27,840
shop, and he had to go around to
the back door with his wife.

1686
01:49:29,550 --> 01:49:32,610
without asking for anything,
we're not asking for any favors.

1687
01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:37,620
All we want is what's ours. Now
there are many blank veterans

1688
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:42,090
who are coming back and they're
mad, they're angry. Do you think

1689
01:49:42,090 --> 01:49:44,880
they're gonna sit down through
this? Our fathers didn't have

1690
01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:49,620
the knowledge that we had. They
sat through it. But there are

1691
01:49:49,620 --> 01:49:52,680
other black youth that are not
going to sit through it. We know

1692
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:57,600
about che we know about offenen
we've read the books of our

1693
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:01,500
revolution. We've listened to
mounish quotations we know where

1694
01:50:01,500 --> 01:50:07,050
we stand. We're not going to sit
form it. We're asking it if we

1695
01:50:07,050 --> 01:50:10,140
ask and we don't get we're
prepared to stand up and take

1696
01:50:10,140 --> 01:50:15,540
it. If I ask a man, I tell a
man, I am hungry. I tell him,

1697
01:50:15,540 --> 01:50:20,460
I'm cold. And I asked him to do
something about my condition.

1698
01:50:21,210 --> 01:50:24,360
And this man holds a loaf of
bread right in front of me, so I

1699
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:28,140
can see it. And I keep asking
him, I'm stalking him to please

1700
01:50:28,140 --> 01:50:32,490
give me a slice of the loaf of
bread. I am hungry. Then it is

1701
01:50:32,490 --> 01:50:36,210
known by every psychologist that
the next step in the progression

1702
01:50:36,210 --> 01:50:40,470
is I'm going to knock them
upside take a break from I'm not

1703
01:50:40,470 --> 01:50:44,610
going to starve to death. Wow,

1704
01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:49,620
it's, it's really interesting.
So the exact same example as to

1705
01:50:49,620 --> 01:50:53,310
POC but this guy also has the
cadence and the kind of this

1706
01:50:53,340 --> 01:50:54,990
that sound of Kanye.

1707
01:50:55,980 --> 01:51:00,330
Yeah. Crazy. And you got to
remember Kanye, his dad was a

1708
01:51:00,330 --> 01:51:03,810
member of the Black Panther.
Yeah, yeah. And you heard what

1709
01:51:03,810 --> 01:51:08,040
to do say we read the books of
Mao. Like, once you once

1710
01:51:08,040 --> 01:51:11,460
America, once we realize if
you're, you're not gonna hold to

1711
01:51:11,460 --> 01:51:14,040
your word. That was the mindset
there.

1712
01:51:14,070 --> 01:51:16,500
Yeah, yeah, we'll become
commies. Yeah,

1713
01:51:16,680 --> 01:51:18,810
whatever. I mean, like,
whatever,

1714
01:51:18,840 --> 01:51:20,370
we'll go with someone else.

1715
01:51:21,630 --> 01:51:25,320
It's like a product. If you buy
a product and the brand and

1716
01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:29,160
start to fall off, you'll start
to shop around looking for

1717
01:51:29,160 --> 01:51:33,720
another brand. Yep. And I'm just
gonna say, This is a warning

1718
01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:37,470
flag. This is a this is not a,
I'm not recruiting for Putin,

1719
01:51:37,890 --> 01:51:41,430
saying this is not what I'm
doing. What I'm saying is, all

1720
01:51:41,430 --> 01:51:46,920
those people in the streets that
are without jobs that are

1721
01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:50,130
saying, or without prospects
without future back, that's

1722
01:51:50,130 --> 01:51:53,490
that's the main thing, the
prospects, because you know, we

1723
01:51:53,490 --> 01:51:58,260
always can find another job, but
when you ruin somebody's career,

1724
01:51:58,530 --> 01:52:01,500
because all it takes is one
year, one blank year on your

1725
01:52:01,500 --> 01:52:07,050
resume, you're done. I mean,
seriously, one gap year, let's

1726
01:52:07,050 --> 01:52:09,540
just say if I stopped working
for a year, and you're saying I

1727
01:52:09,540 --> 01:52:13,860
had to go back and look for a
job, I'm done. I'm telling

1728
01:52:13,860 --> 01:52:17,820
because like, what do you do for
the year? Like, nobody wants

1729
01:52:17,820 --> 01:52:21,240
you. So we don't want you kind
of mentality. Right. So this is

1730
01:52:21,240 --> 01:52:25,290
the kind of thing that's being
played. And I'm glad you pointed

1731
01:52:25,290 --> 01:52:28,530
it out. Because he said the same
thing to two pots. There is

1732
01:52:28,530 --> 01:52:31,620
plenty of food around us. We're
seeing billionaires double their

1733
01:52:31,620 --> 01:52:37,470
wealth. Yep. And then we're
seeing the bottom people saying,

1734
01:52:37,500 --> 01:52:40,170
I don't want to work. And I'm
not saying bottom you're saying

1735
01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:43,470
in a derogatory way, but people
to just say, You know what, I'll

1736
01:52:43,470 --> 01:52:47,430
just whatever you want to give
me I'll take it. We're seeing

1737
01:52:47,430 --> 01:52:51,420
them be alright. So it's like,
Wow, am I going to bust my tail?

1738
01:52:53,190 --> 01:52:55,200
Yes, that's not a good position.

1739
01:52:55,980 --> 01:53:00,120
Right. So um, and then Mike
said, the way the corporation

1740
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:03,660
held these things, oh, you know,
saying like, basically waiting

1741
01:53:03,660 --> 01:53:07,320
people out starving them out.
That's the other things like no

1742
01:53:07,320 --> 01:53:11,130
severance package. Like
seriously. I mean, like, really,

1743
01:53:11,160 --> 01:53:14,640
this is how you feel about us.
So now you understand the

1744
01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:17,010
distain. It's like, Oh, wow.
Like, yeah,

1745
01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:24,600
no severance after 15 years. No
insurance. Nothing Not even. Let

1746
01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:26,760
me go. Not even a personalized
letter.

1747
01:53:27,150 --> 01:53:29,880
Not he gave me a form letter,
not even hand signed. So you're

1748
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:32,730
gonna, you're gonna say the best
thing we think for you is to

1749
01:53:33,060 --> 01:53:35,220
leave you without a job and
health insurance during the

1750
01:53:35,220 --> 01:53:38,100
World deadliest pandemic? That's
that's your idea.

1751
01:53:40,050 --> 01:53:41,640
Sounds good to me, Bob.

1752
01:53:42,390 --> 01:53:47,190
Yeah, so that's the thing like,
okay, so Alright, so but don't

1753
01:53:47,190 --> 01:53:52,350
come crying to me. Which shit
hits the fan? Right? Compelling

1754
01:53:52,350 --> 01:53:55,650
you this is not this is not this
is not what, but I'm not

1755
01:53:55,650 --> 01:53:59,730
confused, that they're confused.
Exactly. This, this is what they

1756
01:53:59,730 --> 01:54:02,850
want to happen. So what now I
got to look at and say, Hold on,

1757
01:54:03,090 --> 01:54:07,230
hold your horses don't take
their bait. Just like we know,

1758
01:54:07,260 --> 01:54:09,780
they're trying to bait people
into being getting kinetic,

1759
01:54:10,500 --> 01:54:14,370
taking your stance physical and
him. And I have to warn of that

1760
01:54:14,370 --> 01:54:17,820
as well. So this is why I'm
saying understand your anger,

1761
01:54:17,940 --> 01:54:21,390
understand the source of your
anger. And it's not just the

1762
01:54:21,390 --> 01:54:25,740
mandate. A lot of people have
lost their businesses. Due to

1763
01:54:25,740 --> 01:54:28,560
the shutdowns and those things
of those nature. A lot of people

1764
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:33,000
losing their businesses to the
supply chain issues. From

1765
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:37,020
destabilizing the workforce,
when it can't find people that

1766
01:54:37,020 --> 01:54:40,230
can will are willing to work
because the Gerson government

1767
01:54:40,260 --> 01:54:49,110
aka his daddy is is no basically
supplementing the people not to

1768
01:54:49,110 --> 01:54:54,270
work is like stay at home. So
all these things I know I'm not

1769
01:54:54,270 --> 01:54:57,510
confused. They're confused. So
What are y'all really trying to

1770
01:54:57,510 --> 01:55:00,540
do this? That's my question.
Like what are you really trying

1771
01:55:00,540 --> 01:55:08,880
to do it's a huge problem. But
we can we can continue I want to

1772
01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:10,200
go to a number three now.

1773
01:55:11,160 --> 01:55:15,180
All we're asking, no one wants
to see let no one likes the

1774
01:55:15,180 --> 01:55:18,660
smell of blood. No one wants
war. Anyone who has been in what

1775
01:55:18,660 --> 01:55:22,950
doesn't want war. Everyone knows
what it is to see the inside of

1776
01:55:22,950 --> 01:55:27,180
a man's gut hanging out and see
your friends die, see relatives

1777
01:55:27,180 --> 01:55:31,230
die. No one wants to regress
back to the state of mind where

1778
01:55:31,230 --> 01:55:34,920
you have to think it's all for
the cause. Therefore, my mother

1779
01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:38,610
has to die. My wife has to die.
My brothers and sisters have to

1780
01:55:38,610 --> 01:55:44,130
die. No one wants that. But
you're pushing us to it. You

1781
01:55:44,130 --> 01:55:47,520
leaving us no choice. We're
asking what begging the students

1782
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:51,150
have a Columbia they have the
brothers down south as the

1783
01:55:51,150 --> 01:55:54,090
brothers in Latin America, the
brothers on Africa, they're all

1784
01:55:54,090 --> 01:56:00,360
henskee only doing is asking our
fathers and our grandfathers and

1785
01:56:01,260 --> 01:56:04,110
the presidents of our
universities, all colleges had

1786
01:56:04,110 --> 01:56:07,260
to go to your bank doors to beg
that their children be given

1787
01:56:07,260 --> 01:56:10,860
just enough money so that they
can be taught. So they deliver.

1788
01:56:12,060 --> 01:56:16,350
And yet still asked and asked
and asked and you refuse to give

1789
01:56:16,350 --> 01:56:22,230
him anything. We're just about
out of patience. We're not going

1790
01:56:22,230 --> 01:56:22,710
to ask

1791
01:56:22,710 --> 01:56:29,160
anymore. And that's the whole
point. We're just about out of

1792
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:29,610
patience

1793
01:56:29,700 --> 01:56:31,350
in the 1960s.

1794
01:56:32,130 --> 01:56:39,180
Right. And like you said, my way
like I said, the my father, I

1795
01:56:39,180 --> 01:56:43,500
seen the way this country you're
saying dealt with him and my

1796
01:56:43,500 --> 01:56:49,350
grandfather. And I was that one
generation post. A state

1797
01:56:49,380 --> 01:56:52,830
sponsored racism, Jim Crow, that
kind of thing. I never saw a

1798
01:56:52,830 --> 01:56:55,770
water fountain with a bright
color sign on it. My dad did.

1799
01:56:56,310 --> 01:57:02,190
His dad definitely did. So it's
right. When you think like, I

1800
01:57:02,190 --> 01:57:04,800
own a godfather, right? When you
think when you think you're out?

1801
01:57:04,830 --> 01:57:05,280
Yeah, they

1802
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:06,330
suck you back in,

1803
01:57:06,390 --> 01:57:11,520
you pull me back in. Just in the
end, like I said, I thought it

1804
01:57:11,520 --> 01:57:14,010
would always be I thought the
racecar would give me good news,

1805
01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:19,200
who knew that that car would get
me. And I can say that's, that's

1806
01:57:19,200 --> 01:57:26,160
a very morbid way to look at it.
But that's the mentality that's

1807
01:57:26,850 --> 01:57:34,830
suppressed. You know, I have a
wonderful light present. But at

1808
01:57:34,830 --> 01:57:38,130
the same time, it's like, you
have in the back of your head,

1809
01:57:38,130 --> 01:57:43,620
like some some crap can go lift.
They can go live, you know, it's

1810
01:57:43,620 --> 01:57:47,010
my time is is where you know,
and then when I saw it, but

1811
01:57:47,010 --> 01:57:50,340
luckily enough, I was able to
see it come in way off and

1812
01:57:50,370 --> 01:57:56,490
prepare myself appropriately.
But if I didn't have that sixth

1813
01:57:56,490 --> 01:58:01,950
sense. Oh, so shenanigans about
to go now. I could have easily

1814
01:58:01,950 --> 01:58:05,880
been in a far worse position.
Say if I would have told you no,

1815
01:58:05,880 --> 01:58:09,090
I don't want to do a show. Adam,
that's not really. It's not

1816
01:58:09,090 --> 01:58:12,150
really something I want to do.
It was and then this happens?

1817
01:58:12,360 --> 01:58:16,590
Where does that leave me? You
feel saying so? I thank you for

1818
01:58:16,590 --> 01:58:20,880
creating the Jireh podcast. And
a lot of other people do as

1819
01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:24,810
well, I'm sure you're saying
because now it's twofold. One,

1820
01:58:25,500 --> 01:58:28,470
it gives us outlet. And then
two, it also gives the

1821
01:58:28,470 --> 01:58:32,310
opportunity to use and to earn
as well.

1822
01:58:32,340 --> 01:58:36,900
Well, and and as a third is
you're spreading information

1823
01:58:36,900 --> 01:58:45,360
that I have never found before
in this format. So you're you're

1824
01:58:45,360 --> 01:58:52,080
helping people understand and
it's it's benefiting the it's

1825
01:58:52,080 --> 01:58:56,910
benefiting the world. So this is
this is this is to me. I mean, I

1826
01:58:56,910 --> 01:59:00,210
think you said the other day, we
were talking about stuff, you

1827
01:59:00,210 --> 01:59:03,540
know, what happens if if you
blow up and you got like $500

1828
01:59:03,540 --> 01:59:07,860
billion, and then you won't want
to do the show? And I was like,

1829
01:59:08,250 --> 01:59:11,550
No, even if I had 500 million
this show, I would still do.

1830
01:59:12,150 --> 01:59:15,510
This is the one. This is the one
I think I would pretty much do

1831
01:59:15,540 --> 01:59:16,260
for sure.

1832
01:59:16,890 --> 01:59:20,640
Right. And I say you could have
took that the wrong way. But you

1833
01:59:20,640 --> 01:59:24,480
see that was no more saying is
you could have not seen you

1834
01:59:24,480 --> 01:59:28,680
would. But that was me saying
waiting for the other shoe to

1835
01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:32,160
drop. Not you specifically. But
that's the that's the engine.

1836
01:59:32,520 --> 01:59:39,450
Yeah. That's how we process
information that if I can say

1837
01:59:39,450 --> 01:59:42,180
I've seen how this country did
my father and my grandfather,

1838
01:59:43,440 --> 01:59:47,580
ah, and we had to talk about
that another day. Right but,

1839
01:59:47,970 --> 01:59:50,970
but just so you know, when
certainly when you're an

1840
01:59:50,970 --> 01:59:54,630
entrepreneur and when you're
not, but even you know, I was

1841
01:59:54,630 --> 01:59:58,650
fired many times for the
stupidest reasons for my actual

1842
01:59:58,650 --> 02:00:05,550
appearance. didn't want to cut
my hair never for something that

1843
02:00:05,550 --> 02:00:12,570
I know that really, you know,
they messed up. But in general I

1844
02:00:12,570 --> 02:00:15,720
know that that's what was
promised you. And that just

1845
02:00:15,720 --> 02:00:19,140
doesn't adapt just that
certainty is gone that that was

1846
02:00:19,140 --> 02:00:23,010
ripped up. That's clearly
that's, you know, that's out but

1847
02:00:23,580 --> 02:00:28,740
let me tell you now that you're
free and now that you are Yeah,

1848
02:00:28,740 --> 02:00:32,700
you got your head on straight
you wish you always had a you're

1849
02:00:32,700 --> 02:00:36,450
a fighter. You're highly
knowledgeable and intelligent,

1850
02:00:36,630 --> 02:00:41,400
man, we are happy to have you on
our side with, you know, with

1851
02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:43,410
people who aren't going to
despair.

1852
02:00:45,090 --> 02:00:49,020
Right. And that's the main thing
like said, this is just me what

1853
02:00:49,020 --> 02:00:54,210
you're hearing with this show.
Hopefully, people It translates

1854
02:00:54,210 --> 02:00:58,680
like, I hope it is. This is not
Moby angry. And, you know, just

1855
02:00:58,710 --> 02:00:59,100
just

1856
02:00:59,579 --> 02:01:02,789
know that we're titling the show
pissed off black man. I mean,

1857
02:01:02,789 --> 02:01:05,999
that's, that's what we're doing.
Obviously, this otherwise, you

1858
02:01:05,999 --> 02:01:08,039
know, let's, let's, we would
have put on the tin what's

1859
02:01:08,039 --> 02:01:08,729
inside?

1860
02:01:10,740 --> 02:01:15,270
But it's not. It's not that. I
mean, angry. What I'm saying is,

1861
02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:23,790
you're seeing the process of the
stimulus. And then going through

1862
02:01:23,790 --> 02:01:30,120
the whole anger process. Sure,
hopefully on what why I felt

1863
02:01:30,120 --> 02:01:34,890
this way how I felt why I felt
this way. Know what, what is

1864
02:01:34,980 --> 02:01:38,400
it's under the surface. It's not
like I'm walking around the

1865
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:45,030
house kicking, you know, stuff
over there is a stewing effect.

1866
02:01:45,150 --> 02:01:50,850
Yeah, and what I'm saying is me
there, as a country, and as a

1867
02:01:50,850 --> 02:01:56,850
world we're seeing is above the
pots bubbling. You know, either

1868
02:01:56,850 --> 02:01:59,370
somebody had to turn down, take
the pot off, or take the lid

1869
02:01:59,370 --> 02:02:02,460
off, something's gonna have to
happen. Because if this pot

1870
02:02:02,460 --> 02:02:07,020
keeps boiling, is gonna get, you
know, out of our control, and

1871
02:02:07,020 --> 02:02:09,150
what I mean, out of our control,
I'm not talking about that,

1872
02:02:09,150 --> 02:02:11,700
because we can't control they
their lizard, you're saying it

1873
02:02:11,700 --> 02:02:16,830
is what it is, um, what we have
to do is one, not let them turn

1874
02:02:16,830 --> 02:02:22,680
us against each other racially,
or across the pro choice, pro

1875
02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:25,590
choice argument of the round of
vaccine, right? Because that's

1876
02:02:25,590 --> 02:02:28,260
what they hope to do is have the
infighting cause infighting

1877
02:02:28,260 --> 02:02:32,160
amongst us, like in 1919, it's
like, well, the immigrants don't

1878
02:02:32,160 --> 02:02:35,880
like the blacks and the whites
don't like neither one of them

1879
02:02:36,000 --> 02:02:38,010
deal with the blacks and the
blacks are saying that kind of

1880
02:02:38,010 --> 02:02:41,970
thing. So I'm trying to avoid
that, because I see that's where

1881
02:02:41,970 --> 02:02:45,990
we're headed. And just to speak
to that more, let's get into the

1882
02:02:45,990 --> 02:02:47,700
fourth and final clip of the
segment.

1883
02:02:48,390 --> 02:02:51,450
The news media says that it's
only the young that American

1884
02:02:51,450 --> 02:02:55,950
only the young that want this
and want that, okay, we're 40%

1885
02:02:55,950 --> 02:03:00,900
of the black population now. Oh,
we were a year ago and we're

1886
02:03:00,900 --> 02:03:05,190
climbing the following will be
50% 55%, then we'll have a

1887
02:03:05,190 --> 02:03:10,110
command. We're not going to take
it we're not going to take

1888
02:03:10,170 --> 02:03:15,630
sitting in Latin parks and
places that just aren't fit for

1889
02:03:15,630 --> 02:03:19,440
living when I've got to take it
is the limit to a man's

1890
02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:24,540
patience. And everyone knows
that. God Christ heaven,

1891
02:03:24,600 --> 02:03:29,100
everyone knows that what we're
asking is not a million dollars,

1892
02:03:29,700 --> 02:03:34,860
although asking was humanity
laughing to be allowed to live

1893
02:03:34,860 --> 02:03:40,170
like human beings? And God, you
tell us that this is too much to

1894
02:03:40,170 --> 02:03:48,090
ask is sick? How can you tell me
that it's too much to ask to be

1895
02:03:48,090 --> 02:03:49,170
a human being?

1896
02:03:51,120 --> 02:03:54,690
You know, just to make it even
sicker. I just learned today,

1897
02:03:55,170 --> 02:03:59,010
you know, the Federal Reserve.
There's this weird law that they

1898
02:04:00,180 --> 02:04:04,560
they can wait two years before
publishing stuff they did. And

1899
02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:08,520
in 2009, we had the stimulus,
which you know, we were told was

1900
02:04:08,550 --> 02:04:12,570
$876 billion, or close to a
trillion dollars, it was

1901
02:04:12,630 --> 02:04:18,330
trillion, five, whatever it was.
And after two years, the Federal

1902
02:04:18,330 --> 02:04:20,670
Reserve went to court and said
no, no, we need it has to be a

1903
02:04:20,670 --> 02:04:26,400
total of 10 years we really we
really just so this is not 2012

1904
02:04:26,970 --> 02:04:30,420
to now we really need another 10
years. We need more time to be

1905
02:04:30,420 --> 02:04:33,240
able to get all the information
together and publish it. So this

1906
02:04:33,240 --> 02:04:37,290
just came out. Do you know what
the number is of the money that

1907
02:04:37,290 --> 02:04:41,700
they created and gave to banks
not just in America but

1908
02:04:41,700 --> 02:04:50,010
worldwide in 2010 2009 2.1 $29
trillion.

1909
02:04:54,420 --> 02:04:59,370
Now, when you hear that now must
say you my first reaction to the

1910
02:04:59,370 --> 02:05:02,580
ratio program Hear me, which you
can't do a told me.

1911
02:05:03,480 --> 02:05:08,730
Exactly that's that this is why
I bring it up. The guy even said

1912
02:05:08,730 --> 02:05:13,470
when I asked for a million
dollars now of course, this was,

1913
02:05:13,920 --> 02:05:18,030
you know this this screws, all
Americans citizens around the

1914
02:05:18,030 --> 02:05:23,850
world actually screws everybody.
But that audacity exactly what

1915
02:05:23,850 --> 02:05:28,680
you're saying this is there's
your proof right there plenty of

1916
02:05:28,680 --> 02:05:35,550
money to do all that 30, almost
$30 trillion. That's that's more

1917
02:05:35,550 --> 02:05:38,550
than our entire deficit and I
think we just hit $30 trillion

1918
02:05:41,430 --> 02:05:45,930
as the known deficit, but
there's no money for atonement

1919
02:05:46,050 --> 02:05:48,240
or anything or anything.

1920
02:05:48,690 --> 02:05:51,270
And before we get into this, we
were

1921
02:05:51,270 --> 02:05:55,200
being robbed. We're being robbed
blind. Right.

1922
02:05:55,230 --> 02:05:58,770
And that's the thing is like,
that's what the analogy that

1923
02:05:58,770 --> 02:06:03,480
Tupac was saying, you know, that
the money is here. You know,

1924
02:06:03,480 --> 02:06:06,510
they have the money is how they
choose to spend it. Uh huh.

1925
02:06:06,540 --> 02:06:10,710
Because remember those shovel
ready jobs when that money was

1926
02:06:10,710 --> 02:06:13,770
being handed out? Oh, yeah.
shovel ready to mount you just

1927
02:06:13,770 --> 02:06:17,010
say almost $30 trillion. But now
we have bridges falling down.

1928
02:06:18,540 --> 02:06:19,050
No, but that,

1929
02:06:19,170 --> 02:06:21,990
but that but that that's not
even the money that that's the

1930
02:06:21,990 --> 02:06:25,950
secret money. That's the secret
money we didn't even know about?

1931
02:06:26,130 --> 02:06:30,180
What I'm saying is but why in
this country? Yeah, we have

1932
02:06:30,180 --> 02:06:33,630
bridges falling now when we've
used grant through $30 trillion.

1933
02:06:34,110 --> 02:06:38,940
Oh, there you go. So at this
time, you have people

1934
02:06:38,940 --> 02:06:41,070
complaining about schools and
poor neighborhoods and those

1935
02:06:41,070 --> 02:06:44,130
kinds of things is being Hello
Baltimore, right? Being

1936
02:06:44,130 --> 02:06:47,880
mysterious and deteriorated. And
then it's like, see, it starts

1937
02:06:47,880 --> 02:06:51,390
with us? Well, your wife schools
were in poor shape, those

1938
02:06:51,390 --> 02:06:52,410
breaches were getting even

1939
02:06:53,280 --> 02:06:56,610
accelerated. This is this is not
even in fact, this, this show

1940
02:06:56,610 --> 02:06:58,710
won't even be about race in a
year from now.

1941
02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:05,370
No. Point. As more they've
pushed us in the same corner.

1942
02:07:06,750 --> 02:07:09,540
It'll be self evident. Like I
said, this, this is bigger than

1943
02:07:09,540 --> 02:07:13,200
race. This show is not about
race. It's about how we perceive

1944
02:07:13,200 --> 02:07:17,010
things differently due to the
racial programming. But here's

1945
02:07:17,340 --> 02:07:21,630
what I mean by program is just
the how you digest it and

1946
02:07:21,630 --> 02:07:24,150
interpreted Okay, but what this
means but

1947
02:07:24,150 --> 02:07:29,670
the mistake, the mistake is by
not by not hurting everybody

1948
02:07:29,700 --> 02:07:34,500
equally in the timeline, this
show, and certainly we're not

1949
02:07:34,500 --> 02:07:38,400
the only ones are able to
understand that this is what's

1950
02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:40,470
coming for everybody.

1951
02:07:41,250 --> 02:07:44,280
Right? We just the beta, which
is the beta thing, like your

1952
02:07:44,280 --> 02:07:48,300
rollout, the rollout, like Jim
Crow was just a beta test for

1953
02:07:48,300 --> 02:07:51,150
where we're at right now. It was
just like, that's,

1954
02:07:51,180 --> 02:07:54,630
that's the t shirt. Jim Crow was
a beta test. I kind of like

1955
02:07:54,630 --> 02:07:57,750
that. It of course we
misinterpreted but,

1956
02:07:58,200 --> 02:08:01,050
of course, of course, it would
be. But that's why I can see and

1957
02:08:01,050 --> 02:08:05,640
made the mean of the vaccine and
water fountains. Yes, I can see

1958
02:08:05,640 --> 02:08:08,160
it coming. It's like, can you
not see it? And that was over.

1959
02:08:08,700 --> 02:08:10,590
Almost two years ago, I think
when I made that meme, or at

1960
02:08:10,590 --> 02:08:14,940
least the year close to but, um,
with all that said, that ends

1961
02:08:14,940 --> 02:08:18,900
the first block of the show. And
now we got to thank the people

1962
02:08:18,900 --> 02:08:21,360
that make this show possible
that producers

1963
02:08:21,390 --> 02:08:25,110
Yeah, and and just because I
felt we really did him justice

1964
02:08:25,110 --> 02:08:27,510
today will listen to Malcolm X,

1965
02:08:27,720 --> 02:08:30,990
the white man in the black man
have to be able to sit down at

1966
02:08:30,990 --> 02:08:34,050
the same table, the white man
has to feel free to speak his

1967
02:08:34,050 --> 02:08:36,870
mind without hurting the
feelings about negro. And the so

1968
02:08:36,870 --> 02:08:40,080
called Negro has to feel free to
speak his mind without hurting

1969
02:08:40,080 --> 02:08:42,870
the feeling of the white man,
then they can bring the issues

1970
02:08:42,870 --> 02:08:45,300
that are under the rug out on
top of the table and take an

1971
02:08:45,300 --> 02:08:47,820
intelligent approach to get the
problem solved. What's the only

1972
02:08:47,820 --> 02:08:49,050
way we'll ever do it?

1973
02:08:51,840 --> 02:08:54,990
Well, I think it's obvious that
now more than ever, this show

1974
02:08:54,990 --> 02:09:01,050
depends on your support, and is
highly appreciated. And we do

1975
02:09:01,050 --> 02:09:03,390
have some executive and
Associate Executive producers to

1976
02:09:03,390 --> 02:09:06,540
thank very nice showing
certainly because we're two

1977
02:09:06,540 --> 02:09:10,020
weeks quick in succession. So
very, very appreciative of that.

1978
02:09:10,980 --> 02:09:14,250
And I also have some booster
grams that have some beautiful

1979
02:09:14,250 --> 02:09:18,210
amounts, but I'll do those
separately. Just just to keep it

1980
02:09:18,240 --> 02:09:22,770
because it's it's a confusing
amount of administration. First,

1981
02:09:22,770 --> 02:09:25,860
our executive producers are Well
Steven page comes in with the

1982
02:09:25,860 --> 02:09:28,290
top amount so he totally

through some booster grams real
quick, another another great,

2093
02:17:24,840 --> 02:17:29,610
great way to support the work
that Moe is doing is by getting

2094
02:17:29,610 --> 02:17:33,780
a modern podcast app. Also, if
anyone decides to remove this

2095
02:17:33,780 --> 02:17:36,630
show, you can't get D
platformed. You'll also get up

2096
02:17:36,630 --> 02:17:39,900

podcast in 2.0. The update is

2097
02:17:39,900 --> 02:17:44,070

seconds of when we when we

2098
02:17:44,070 --> 02:17:47,430
publish it. And then of course,
there's all the additional stuff

2099
02:17:47,430 --> 02:17:51,060
that Dred Scott does with the
chapter art and we have

2100
02:17:51,060 --> 02:17:55,440
transcripts and you can also
send us donations with Bitcoin

2101
02:17:55,440 --> 02:17:57,840
with the Lightning Network is
kind of like a Venmo for

2102
02:17:57,840 --> 02:18:01,920
Bitcoin. And let's see we kick
it off, and this of course, will

2103
02:18:01,920 --> 02:18:06,990
be an executive producer ship
for Brian Masih, who sent us a

2104
02:18:06,990 --> 02:18:12,930

bunch of TOS in Satoshis. But

2105
02:18:12,930 --> 02:18:18,360
the dollar amount is $151.11.
That's a lot of ducks. That's a

2106
02:18:19,050 --> 02:18:26,490
lot of ducks. Abel Kirby also
sent us booster gram $34. We had

2107
02:18:26,520 --> 02:18:35,100
Carl Watson with $34 and Harv
hot with a 39. And Abel Kirby

2108
02:18:35,100 --> 02:18:39,810
said love the show, Carl Watson
said in case he boosted this

2109
02:18:39,810 --> 02:18:42,000
amount in case it didn't work,
which it didn't. So I'm glad you

all races, all genders. The

2136
02:20:20,280 --> 02:20:23,340
challenge is that while our
conscious selves are

2137
02:20:23,340 --> 02:20:27,150
egalitarian, we still hold these
unconscious, or somewhat

2138
02:20:27,150 --> 02:20:31,530
implicit biases that have been
primed in us over many years,

2139
02:20:31,560 --> 02:20:34,950
largely through media. And
culture. One of those

2140
02:20:34,950 --> 02:20:38,310
stereotypes is we equate black
men with fear.

2141
02:20:45,180 --> 02:20:48,360
When race drops into a
conversation, our executive

2142
02:20:48,360 --> 02:20:53,250
brain shut down on both sides.
So if you are a white American

2143
02:20:53,250 --> 02:20:57,450
who is, you know, a very fair
minded person, race is presented

2144
02:20:57,450 --> 02:21:02,520
to you, your brain will start to
wonder, you know, is what I'm

2145
02:21:02,520 --> 02:21:06,810
about to say next, going to be
perceived by the other person as

2146
02:21:06,810 --> 02:21:10,560
racist or biased? And if you are
of color, your brain likewise

2147
02:21:10,560 --> 02:21:14,610
shuts down, right? It says,
okay, is something about to come

2148
02:21:14,610 --> 02:21:17,400
at me, that might be an
opportunity to invalidate my

2149
02:21:17,400 --> 02:21:20,010
life experience, both of your
brains are going into fight or

2150
02:21:20,010 --> 02:21:23,070
flight mode. It's just not a
recipe for a meaningful, honest

2151
02:21:23,070 --> 02:21:25,890
dialogue around something that's
so critical and so important.

2152
02:21:27,090 --> 02:21:32,820
Well, there you go. Exactly what
this show is it combats is

2153
02:21:32,820 --> 02:21:34,080
exactly that problem.

2154
02:21:34,620 --> 02:21:37,770
And then, but the opposite of
what we do would be the lizard

2155
02:21:37,770 --> 02:21:40,740
brain. Yeah. Because they want
you to get into the flight fight

2156
02:21:40,770 --> 02:21:44,310
or flight mode. Yep. The
amygdala. Yeah. So that's the

2157
02:21:44,310 --> 02:21:47,670
whole point is, they don't want
us sitting down and having a

2158
02:21:47,670 --> 02:21:51,180
conversation like we do, because
that defeats the lizard brain.

2159
02:21:51,390 --> 02:21:56,160
And now and that their way of
thinking. So I brought I brought

2160
02:21:56,160 --> 02:22:01,620
this up one, as you heard that
the anger thing is scary. You

2161
02:22:01,620 --> 02:22:05,250
know, if you're a if you're
angry, black man, that's a scary

2162
02:22:05,250 --> 02:22:07,890
thing. Yeah. Give us the link.
Go back to like I said, when I'm

2163
02:22:07,890 --> 02:22:10,620
at you, okay, Mo, everything all
right, Mo, he was saying when

2164
02:22:10,620 --> 02:22:15,120
I'm sitting here thinking, and I
have my thinking scowl, or is my

2165
02:22:15,120 --> 02:22:19,470
wife to say get those knots out
of your head? You know, you have

2166
02:22:19,470 --> 02:22:22,380
that those lumps in your
forehead when you're thinking.

2167
02:22:23,220 --> 02:22:26,400
So if something conscious that
you had to be, there's something

2168
02:22:26,400 --> 02:22:28,920
that you had to be conscious
about, excuse me, and I want to

2169
02:22:28,920 --> 02:22:32,580
make an observation, just
observation. If you notice,

2170
02:22:34,560 --> 02:22:38,280
celebrity, I mean, I'm not
celebrity popular people on the

2171
02:22:38,280 --> 02:22:42,420
conservative side, there are
black men typically have to

2172
02:22:42,420 --> 02:22:47,130
smile a lot. I've noticed this,
and I'm just saying, I just

2173
02:22:47,130 --> 02:22:52,050
noticed it, because I'll explain
why. The Democrats are the left

2174
02:22:52,080 --> 02:22:57,270
they weaponize black anger. And
they say we're this is this is

2175
02:22:57,270 --> 02:22:59,880
the Democrats play. And I want
to this goes back to the last

2176
02:22:59,880 --> 02:23:03,180
show again. So black people when
they're facing black people,

2177
02:23:03,480 --> 02:23:05,880
they say we're the only thing
keeping them from lynching you.

2178
02:23:06,660 --> 02:23:10,500
Right? That's their play. Right?
So they need black people to

2179
02:23:10,590 --> 02:23:14,400
appear angry so they could turn
around to the white sector. And

2180
02:23:14,400 --> 02:23:17,850
say, we're the only thing
keeping them under control. And

2181
02:23:17,850 --> 02:23:21,300
not going off at Terry
everything go. Now, back to my

2182
02:23:21,300 --> 02:23:26,130
point about the conservative
smiling that this smile, kind of

2183
02:23:26,130 --> 02:23:29,850
like says I'm safe. I'm okay.
I'm not interested. I'm not

2184
02:23:29,880 --> 02:23:34,500
angling. And it's not just in
politics. It's in you're saying

2185
02:23:34,530 --> 02:23:39,300
in fields of work as well. But I
just noticed this thing. And

2186
02:23:39,300 --> 02:23:45,990
Larry elders is one of them. Not
saying no, for his smell. No

2187
02:23:45,990 --> 02:23:47,430
kidding. Yes. Right.

2188
02:23:48,030 --> 02:23:50,910
So that's, I was wondering what
your example would be I was

2189
02:23:50,910 --> 02:23:52,980
thinking about that Larry elder
is good one.

2190
02:23:53,339 --> 02:23:55,799
But the fact that they're you
have already pre thinking about

2191
02:23:55,799 --> 02:24:00,209
that lets people know, I'm safe.
And I'm not saying he purposely

2192
02:24:00,209 --> 02:24:02,729
does. That's not what I'm
saying. What I'm just saying is

2193
02:24:02,729 --> 02:24:06,419
for optics purse purposes it
politically, the left wants you

2194
02:24:06,419 --> 02:24:11,309
angry. So they could promote
that essay. We're the only thing

2195
02:24:11,309 --> 02:24:14,339
that can control them. Yeah. And
they have a story for both

2196
02:24:14,339 --> 02:24:17,909
sides. Right. Right. So I just
want to say you're saying that

2197
02:24:17,909 --> 02:24:23,699
that that stereotype of me angry
is very pervasive. Because I

2198
02:24:23,699 --> 02:24:27,449
don't know why Black anger is
more potent or seems to be or

2199
02:24:27,449 --> 02:24:30,479
the narrative around it is more
potent or dangerous than any

2200
02:24:30,479 --> 02:24:31,049
other.

2201
02:24:32,580 --> 02:24:36,750
Long, long, long period of
programming.

2202
02:24:37,380 --> 02:24:46,320
Yes. Well, I've lived this and
it's crazy because you're

2203
02:24:46,320 --> 02:24:52,800
conscious not to smile too much.
Not to be taken silly. But then

2204
02:24:52,830 --> 02:24:58,500
also not to be frail too much to
be seen as Millison.

2205
02:24:58,740 --> 02:25:01,380
That sounds this sounds real. be
tiring it

2206
02:25:01,380 --> 02:25:08,070
is. If you're conscious of it,
now, once you break through to

2207
02:25:08,070 --> 02:25:11,190
the other side of you don't give
a rat's ass, right. But when

2208
02:25:11,190 --> 02:25:17,400
you're living in the paradigm,
or in the duality of, Am I Am I

2209
02:25:17,400 --> 02:25:21,150
a nice guy? That kind of thing
you know. And that's another

2210
02:25:21,150 --> 02:25:25,050
form of you're different. You're
saying that's another form of

2211
02:25:25,050 --> 02:25:28,110
it. We talked about last show.
If you're always smiling and

2212
02:25:28,110 --> 02:25:30,750
nice and fun and that kind of
thing, or you're different.

2213
02:25:30,990 --> 02:25:35,280
It's very interesting that this
mirrors or parallels, in many

2214
02:25:35,280 --> 02:25:40,860
ways, the life of a celebrity. I
know it's a twisted comparison.

2215
02:25:40,890 --> 02:25:43,680
No, no, no, you're right. But
they're trapped. They're trapped

2216
02:25:43,680 --> 02:25:48,420
by it. And I've witnessed this
to some minor degree myself. I

2217
02:25:48,420 --> 02:25:52,950
was held hostage by my hair, as
an example. But you're trapped.

2218
02:25:52,950 --> 02:25:57,090
And you certainly can't be seen,
you know, when you scout boom

2219
02:25:57,090 --> 02:25:59,400
cover of National Enquirer, huh.

2220
02:26:00,180 --> 02:26:04,530
And I'm glad you made that
point, because it just sparked a

2221
02:26:04,530 --> 02:26:09,780
thought in my mind. Notice when
Kanye when he's caught smiling,

2222
02:26:10,980 --> 02:26:15,480
he goes, it's actually a meme of
him doing this, that he's caught

2223
02:26:15,480 --> 02:26:18,180
smiling a basketball game or
something. And then he just goes

2224
02:26:18,180 --> 02:26:19,890
blank face, like a stern look on
his

2225
02:26:19,890 --> 02:26:21,420
face, like bright, bright.

2226
02:26:22,860 --> 02:26:26,940
So it's cusses you want to be
taken seriously, but then you

2227
02:26:26,940 --> 02:26:31,380
don't want to be perceived as
angry. Right? It's a weird, it's

2228
02:26:31,380 --> 02:26:34,260
a weird spot, if if you
subscribe to that way of

2229
02:26:34,260 --> 02:26:38,520
thinking, but it's baked into
your programming across all your

2230
02:26:38,520 --> 02:26:42,240
years of going through public
schools and everybody for

2231
02:26:42,240 --> 02:26:47,040
everybody involved, right? Not
to, you know, and goes back to

2232
02:26:47,040 --> 02:26:50,040
lynching, because you will be
conditioned, not in these times

2233
02:26:50,040 --> 02:26:53,940
more per se, but like men that
raised us, we're conditioned,

2234
02:26:53,940 --> 02:26:56,460
it's like, we don't want to come
off as angry. You don't want to

2235
02:26:56,460 --> 02:26:59,430
come out, you know, that kind of
thing. So the conditioning is

2236
02:26:59,430 --> 02:27:02,130
there, you know, just you know,
just lighten up, lighten up, you

2237
02:27:02,130 --> 02:27:05,100
know, that kind of thing. So, I
just want to point that out. So

2238
02:27:05,100 --> 02:27:09,780
now speaking of anger, one of
the most famous angry movie

2239
02:27:09,780 --> 02:27:20,250
clips is from network. No, one
you did just, I want to do this.

2240
02:27:20,850 --> 02:27:23,040
I think I want to do it this
way. Let's go just go ahead and

2241
02:27:23,040 --> 02:27:25,470
go to Network. Are you familiar
with that movie?

2242
02:27:25,590 --> 02:27:29,040
It's one of my most favorite
movies ever. Are you kidding me?

2243
02:27:29,040 --> 02:27:31,770
This right up there with Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory?

2244
02:27:32,010 --> 02:27:35,010
I wish one knew it. Oh, no. The
old Of course.

2245
02:27:38,220 --> 02:27:41,460
My anger not insult me mo do not
know. So.

2246
02:27:43,230 --> 02:27:45,540
That was a piece of crap that
second went on and what they

2247
02:27:45,570 --> 02:27:48,000
were but Charlie and Charlie,
Charlie and the Chocolate

2248
02:27:48,000 --> 02:27:52,560
Factory? Yeah, he's one of my
favorite movies as well. But

2249
02:27:52,560 --> 02:27:54,900
yeah, let's just go ahead and do
it in the switch or let's get

2250
02:27:54,900 --> 02:27:58,080
into 23. First, this is network.
And I'll Mattis Hill.

2251
02:27:59,430 --> 02:28:02,280
I don't have to tell you things
are bad. Everybody knows things

2252
02:28:02,280 --> 02:28:06,750
are bad. It's a depression.
Everybody's out of work, or

2253
02:28:06,750 --> 02:28:11,100
scared of losing their job. The
dollar buys a nickels worth.

2254
02:28:11,340 --> 02:28:14,130
Banks are going bust.
shopkeepers keep a gun under the

2255
02:28:14,130 --> 02:28:17,190
counter. punks are running wild
in the streets. There's nobody

2256
02:28:17,190 --> 02:28:21,060
anywhere seems to know what to
do. And there's no end to it. We

2257
02:28:21,060 --> 02:28:25,860
know the air is unfit to breathe
and our food is unfit to eat. We

2258
02:28:25,860 --> 02:28:29,130
sit watching our TVs while some
local newscaster tells us that

2259
02:28:29,130 --> 02:28:33,270
today we had 15 homicides and 63
violent crimes as if that's the

2260
02:28:33,270 --> 02:28:36,720
way it's supposed to be. We know
things are bad worse than bad.

2261
02:28:37,110 --> 02:28:39,510
They're crazy. It's like
everything everywhere is going

2262
02:28:39,510 --> 02:28:42,510
crazy. So we don't go out
anymore. We sit in the house.

2263
02:28:42,510 --> 02:28:44,880
And slowly the world we're
living in is getting smaller.

2264
02:28:44,880 --> 02:28:47,820
And all we say is please at
least leave us alone in our

2265
02:28:47,820 --> 02:28:51,150
living rooms. Let me have my
toaster and my TV and my steel

2266
02:28:51,150 --> 02:28:53,940
belted radios and I won't say
anything, just leave us alone.

2267
02:28:54,060 --> 02:28:58,710
Well, I'm not going to leave you
alone. I want you to get back. I

2268
02:28:58,710 --> 02:29:00,930
don't want you to protest. I
don't want you to write I don't

2269
02:29:00,930 --> 02:29:02,760
want you to write to your
congressman, because I wouldn't

2270
02:29:02,760 --> 02:29:05,220
know what to tell you to write.
I don't know what to do about

2271
02:29:05,220 --> 02:29:07,890
the depression and the inflation
and the Russians and that crime

2272
02:29:07,890 --> 02:29:12,840
in the street. All I know is
that first you got to say I'm a

2273
02:29:12,840 --> 02:29:22,290
human being God dammit. My life
has value. So I want you to get

2274
02:29:22,290 --> 02:29:27,720
up now. I want all of you to get
up out of your chairs. I want

2275
02:29:27,720 --> 02:29:32,490
you to get up right now. And go
to the window. Open it and stick

2276
02:29:32,490 --> 02:29:36,870
your head out and yell. I was
mad as hell. And I am not going

2277
02:29:36,870 --> 02:29:38,010
to take this anymore.

2278
02:29:42,300 --> 02:29:46,500
So yeah, so obviously you would
think he was talking about 2022

2279
02:29:47,640 --> 02:29:50,370
I loved it even had the Russians
in there. That was great.

2280
02:29:50,970 --> 02:29:57,510
And it had the um, the body
count. Like yes, yeah, you're

2281
02:29:57,510 --> 02:29:57,840
right.

2282
02:29:57,840 --> 02:29:58,740
You're right. You're right.

2283
02:29:58,980 --> 02:30:04,830
It's like certain people shot.
So others killed. So so this is

2284
02:30:04,830 --> 02:30:05,520
where

2285
02:30:05,580 --> 02:30:08,880
and of course, there's the
beautiful, beautiful meeting

2286
02:30:08,880 --> 02:30:12,990
that Howard Beale has with the
with the guy, they with the

2287
02:30:12,990 --> 02:30:16,500
representative of they up in the
boardroom and he has that whole

2288
02:30:16,500 --> 02:30:19,170
speech speech as well. It's like
you have no idea what you're

2289
02:30:19,170 --> 02:30:22,470
doing. Stupid man, this is not
how the world works,

2290
02:30:23,100 --> 02:30:26,640
right? But he was fed up. And
this is kind of like how angry

2291
02:30:26,640 --> 02:30:31,350
we could be good. Because anger
could push you to action, if you

2292
02:30:31,350 --> 02:30:35,040
channel it correctly. So first,
I just want to identify that we

2293
02:30:35,040 --> 02:30:38,100
are angry. That was kind of like
the first part of the show and

2294
02:30:38,100 --> 02:30:42,690
given for me personally, where
the anger comes from, and how

2295
02:30:42,690 --> 02:30:46,290
was perceived through a certain
lens. But now is this like, what

2296
02:30:46,290 --> 02:30:49,380
do you do with the anger once
you have it? Right? Because, you

2297
02:30:49,380 --> 02:30:52,050
know, it's anger is not one of
the things like I just make it

2298
02:30:52,050 --> 02:30:54,420
go away, you know, because
coming from a place of being

2299
02:30:54,420 --> 02:30:59,670
frustrated, or no uncertainty or
those kinds of things. So, um,

2300
02:31:00,180 --> 02:31:03,780
another person was angry was
Christ in the Bible, as well as

2301
02:31:03,780 --> 02:31:07,650
other members in the Bible, but
I've heard about being a

2302
02:31:07,650 --> 02:31:11,490
believer, I wanted to get into
what they call either righteous

2303
02:31:11,520 --> 02:31:15,390
indignation, or either righteous
anger, we can get into 22.

2304
02:31:15,780 --> 02:31:19,500
So I think we first have to
realize that there can be

2305
02:31:19,500 --> 02:31:22,920
righteous anger and then be
unrighteous kind of anger. In

2306
02:31:22,920 --> 02:31:26,130
the end, how do you know the
difference? Certainly, I think

2307
02:31:26,160 --> 02:31:32,910
anger means it's, it's a strong
feeling that we have. And we, we

2308
02:31:32,910 --> 02:31:36,540
want to have be angry at the
right the right things and not

2309
02:31:36,540 --> 02:31:41,520
be angry with the wrong things.
And so if we're angry, because

2310
02:31:41,550 --> 02:31:46,860
this is some value of God, we're
concerned about his glory, then

2311
02:31:46,860 --> 02:31:50,040
that's the time that we can be
angry, and we have righteous

2312
02:31:50,040 --> 02:31:55,140
anger. But if we're just angry
about petty things, things that

2313
02:31:55,140 --> 02:31:59,580
relate to ourselves that we
can't get our way, then those

2314
02:31:59,580 --> 02:32:04,980
are the wrong kinds of anger. I
think we also can look at it

2315
02:32:05,010 --> 02:32:09,510
from constructive and
destructive kind of thing, that

2316
02:32:09,750 --> 02:32:13,650
constructive anger would be
focused on the problem, for

2317
02:32:13,650 --> 02:32:17,970
instance, whereas destructive
anger is just letting your

2318
02:32:17,970 --> 02:32:21,660
emotions out and yelling at
somebody and that type of thing.

2319
02:32:21,840 --> 02:32:24,720
And you just focus on the person
instead of the problem.

2320
02:32:28,110 --> 02:32:33,090
So this is talking about the
righteous anger. And another

2321
02:32:33,090 --> 02:32:38,370
source of my anger is just the
overall impact of everything

2322
02:32:38,370 --> 02:32:44,880
that's going on right now. To
young black men, specifically,

2323
02:32:45,420 --> 02:32:49,980
can I look at myself and say,
Hold on, if I was going through

2324
02:32:49,980 --> 02:32:56,070
this, now, at the exit, say I
was in my 20s, early 20s.

2325
02:32:57,390 --> 02:32:58,500
Yeah, how would you feel?

2326
02:32:58,830 --> 02:33:02,490
What would it be like? Yeah, cuz
I'm seeing guys, too, the same

2327
02:33:02,490 --> 02:33:08,070
path I took. Some of them are
homeless. I mean, like, cuz, I

2328
02:33:08,070 --> 02:33:10,980
mean, you work your way up. So
the years that you were in

2329
02:33:10,980 --> 02:33:13,770
college and that kind of thing,
you're working, you know,

2330
02:33:13,770 --> 02:33:16,920
warehouse jobs, and that kind of
thing, where we could maybe get

2331
02:33:16,920 --> 02:33:20,520
roommates to three roommates and
survive. That's not even

2332
02:33:20,520 --> 02:33:24,750
possible now. Yeah. So that's
another source of my anger. Just

2333
02:33:25,380 --> 02:33:30,300
that's kind of the macro anger
of how society's being played

2334
02:33:30,300 --> 02:33:34,440
with and the impact of it and I
understand as steam become more

2335
02:33:34,440 --> 02:33:38,310
and more pressurized those that
reason why I played this clip

2336
02:33:38,310 --> 02:33:41,490
the order I did, the way we
talked about this body count

2337
02:33:41,490 --> 02:33:49,680
Chicago that's a source of this.
This young men that don't know

2338
02:33:49,680 --> 02:33:53,910
how to channel their anger,
sure, or place their anger. And

2339
02:33:53,910 --> 02:33:56,280
what do you do that causes
personally you to patient you,

2340
02:33:56,280 --> 02:34:03,780
all you you, it comes out. And
people are using this anger and

2341
02:34:03,780 --> 02:34:08,340
frustration for political
purposes? Yes, that's that third

2342
02:34:08,340 --> 02:34:12,510
wave, we always talk about, yep.
What gives what makes the person

2343
02:34:12,510 --> 02:34:16,410
go out and want to loot and
steal and that kind of thing.

2344
02:34:16,680 --> 02:34:19,770
Instead, they get given up on
society, and they feel like

2345
02:34:19,770 --> 02:34:25,440
society has given up on them. So
this is just more of another

2346
02:34:25,440 --> 02:34:29,220
source. When I take it once I go
through the process, okay, okay.

2347
02:34:29,790 --> 02:34:31,980
You know, say I'm gonna be
alright, bright future ahead of

2348
02:34:31,980 --> 02:34:35,850
me. Things may be a little
bumpy, but you're saying I least

2349
02:34:35,850 --> 02:34:41,730
got a runway and you're saying
you're in aviation. So I just

2350
02:34:41,730 --> 02:34:45,780
got to get the plane going fast
enough to make it with the

2351
02:34:45,780 --> 02:34:49,110
runway I have. I mean, that's,
that's my challenge. But at

2352
02:34:49,110 --> 02:34:52,530
least I have, at least I have a
runway. A lot of these young

2353
02:34:52,530 --> 02:34:56,490
men, they don't have that and
they just been thrust into this

2354
02:34:57,690 --> 02:35:03,540
new world. And how do you cut
How do you cope with it? Um, and

2355
02:35:03,540 --> 02:35:06,180
I don't think in the fact that,
like, sad is being weaponized

2356
02:35:06,180 --> 02:35:09,540
and utilized to push political
motors, that really makes me

2357
02:35:09,540 --> 02:35:11,370
angry. Like, that makes me

2358
02:35:11,460 --> 02:35:14,670
that makes all Americans angry,
or at least if they know it

2359
02:35:14,670 --> 02:35:15,150
should,

2360
02:35:15,870 --> 02:35:19,260
right? It should, because a lot
of these people didn't ask for

2361
02:35:19,260 --> 02:35:25,620
this, um, he just the world
changed under them. And I don't

2362
02:35:25,620 --> 02:35:27,870
think as a nation, that should
be the, that should be the

2363
02:35:27,870 --> 02:35:31,200
process. And then you'd say like
weaponizing immigration and

2364
02:35:31,200 --> 02:35:33,720
those kinds of things, is just
gonna pressure out of the

2365
02:35:33,720 --> 02:35:36,330
situation. And then we blame
them, like, look at how they

2366
02:35:36,330 --> 02:35:42,330
kill themselves in Chicago, it's
like, Have you ever been in a

2367
02:35:42,330 --> 02:35:46,200
situation like that? If you
can't, if you haven't been, you

2368
02:35:46,200 --> 02:35:50,100
don't understand. And I've only
been adjacent to a situation

2369
02:35:50,100 --> 02:35:53,370
like that, but I can definitely
understand, cuz it's like this,

2370
02:35:53,370 --> 02:35:57,000
I'm gonna be honest with you, a
podcast, don't worry, if the job

2371
02:35:57,000 --> 02:36:00,660
don't work, and whatever is
don't work. I gotta get how I

2372
02:36:00,660 --> 02:36:05,100
get it. By that that hasn't last
left me, you are saying now that

2373
02:36:05,100 --> 02:36:08,250
could be working with my hands
working with my bank or wherever

2374
02:36:08,250 --> 02:36:12,690
else entails. Because at the end
of the day, a man got IP this

2375
02:36:12,690 --> 02:36:17,850
family, of course. So I can't
like I don't empathize what

2376
02:36:17,850 --> 02:36:20,190
people are saying I had to go
get it. The way to get it now is

2377
02:36:20,220 --> 02:36:23,760
other options, of course. But
you only know what you know, is

2378
02:36:23,760 --> 02:36:24,120
well,

2379
02:36:24,989 --> 02:36:30,089
it's what's interesting is, you
know, for years, I've lived in

2380
02:36:30,089 --> 02:36:33,029
the back of my mind, I mean,
really, if Pay Pal pulls the

2381
02:36:33,029 --> 02:36:37,439
plug, for some reason, I got a
problem. I got a real problem.

2382
02:36:37,679 --> 02:36:41,009
You know, there's that problem.
Yes, of course, there's all of

2383
02:36:41,009 --> 02:36:44,429
these. There's all of the I
mean, there's solutions. But

2384
02:36:45,509 --> 02:36:49,049
again, you just start to look at
a problem say okay, at least

2385
02:36:49,049 --> 02:36:52,169
have a solution. And if not,
there's a solution there and a

2386
02:36:52,169 --> 02:36:56,399
solution there and a solution
that that is also inherently

2387
02:36:56,399 --> 02:37:01,799
American. We are, we do have
some born in if not

2388
02:37:01,829 --> 02:37:04,619
entrepreneurialism, ourselves,
we have respect for it.

2389
02:37:07,980 --> 02:37:12,390
beaten out of you? Yeah. Oh,
yes. Or no, your entrepreneurial

2390
02:37:12,420 --> 02:37:20,640
ism is a is native to humans.
Yes, it's beat of out of us.

2391
02:37:21,120 --> 02:37:28,530
Point years of school of form
dependency. If I owe that scary,

2392
02:37:28,530 --> 02:37:32,970
go make your own money. That's
scary. You know, what you think

2393
02:37:32,970 --> 02:37:36,720
you can take care yourself. And
then when you factor in, like I

2394
02:37:36,720 --> 02:37:40,830
said, with insurance, that's the
end. That's the deal breaker.

2395
02:37:41,010 --> 02:37:45,450
And I must say to Republican
Party, you might want to think

2396
02:37:45,450 --> 02:37:50,100
about looking at reshaping
healthcare. I've know they've

2397
02:37:50,130 --> 02:37:55,020
they've dug in on this and sure,
for financial reasons. But

2398
02:37:55,290 --> 02:37:59,850
whoever figures out this
healthcare situation, is gonna

2399
02:37:59,850 --> 02:38:05,760
have a loyal following. Because
that's the really that's the one

2400
02:38:05,760 --> 02:38:08,010
thing that keeps people from
betting on ourselves.

2401
02:38:09,960 --> 02:38:12,690
Yes, well, good luck with that.

2402
02:38:14,070 --> 02:38:17,520
I'm sorry, this is just like the
black vote, you know, the the

2403
02:38:17,520 --> 02:38:21,810
the healthcare refix vote,
whoever fix that they're gonna

2404
02:38:21,810 --> 02:38:24,540
have they're gonna it's gonna it
could be a huge opportunity for

2405
02:38:24,540 --> 02:38:28,170
you. The insurance company has
rigged and they pay both sides.

2406
02:38:29,370 --> 02:38:33,600
It's way beyond that Mo.
Healthcare is Wall Street done.

2407
02:38:33,660 --> 02:38:36,000
That's it. You don't need to
know much more. It's Wall

2408
02:38:36,000 --> 02:38:40,770
Street. It's bullshit. There's
it's shenanigans, and it's deep,

2409
02:38:40,830 --> 02:38:44,310
and it's not simple to fix. So
people will fix health care

2410
02:38:44,340 --> 02:38:47,430
outside of health care
individually, it'll be a lot

2411
02:38:47,430 --> 02:38:50,880
cheaper. You'll be able to get
most of what you need.

2412
02:38:51,749 --> 02:38:55,079
And I was just about to say that
is that whoever presents the

2413
02:38:55,079 --> 02:38:57,869
opportunity to say you know we
can offer health care for a

2414
02:38:57,869 --> 02:38:58,769
reasonable price

2415
02:38:58,800 --> 02:39:01,470
Yeah, that's gonna happen. I
guarantee you that's gonna

2416
02:39:01,470 --> 02:39:02,640
happen. Now

2417
02:39:02,670 --> 02:39:06,240
they'll they'll have a loyal
loyal following. Yeah, so I'll

2418
02:39:06,240 --> 02:39:09,990
just keep pushing it that but it
just like I said, it doesn't

2419
02:39:09,990 --> 02:39:13,380
make any sense how they hold you
captive. But let's go ahead and

2420
02:39:13,380 --> 02:39:16,620
get into another throwback clip
from Kanye because Kanye is kind

2421
02:39:16,620 --> 02:39:21,270
of like a running theme in this
Yeah. Because he's the epitome

2422
02:39:21,990 --> 02:39:25,320
of betting on yourself. I mean,
he has an album called college

2423
02:39:25,320 --> 02:39:29,100
dropout. Yeah, don't let that be
lost on you because he saw early

2424
02:39:29,100 --> 02:39:33,780
on and I wish I had that clip
I'll put in last tapes are

2425
02:39:33,780 --> 02:39:36,960
basically saying you know, you
go your life to get a degree.

2426
02:39:37,980 --> 02:39:43,440
And like the guy basically this
this the punch line is his son

2427
02:39:43,470 --> 02:39:49,530
inherits his degrees right. So
uh, so he's been a big proponent

2428
02:39:49,530 --> 02:39:52,860
of betting on yourself so that's
why I use a lot of him in this

2429
02:39:54,270 --> 02:39:57,120
in this show, so let's go ahead
and get into 23 A.

2430
02:39:57,300 --> 02:40:01,440
Another thing is like this idea
of like apologizing apologize

2431
02:40:01,440 --> 02:40:05,280
for saying George Bush don't
apologize for running on stage

2432
02:40:05,280 --> 02:40:09,570
we tend to apologize for wearing
the wrong color. A apologize now

2433
02:40:09,570 --> 02:40:13,170
you're dealing with grandpa.
I've been through too much. I'm

2434
02:40:13,320 --> 02:40:16,980
I'm the founder of $3 billion
company. He took off in a listen

2435
02:40:16,980 --> 02:40:22,410
to somebody on line. Tell me who
else wants to apologize for? Do

2436
02:40:22,410 --> 02:40:26,100
you feel like it since you did
get there?

2437
02:40:26,130 --> 02:40:30,870
Do you feel any other pressures
when people say Kanye didn't let

2438
02:40:30,870 --> 02:40:33,780
them down? When we think about
George Bush don't care about

2439
02:40:33,780 --> 02:40:36,030
black people. That's when
everybody was like all Kanye.

2440
02:40:36,300 --> 02:40:40,140
And then when we look at Kanye
now, I mean if we if we agree or

2441
02:40:40,140 --> 02:40:43,500
not agree with you? Just when we
when you say the wrong color

2442
02:40:43,500 --> 02:40:43,890
hat?

2443
02:40:44,580 --> 02:40:47,400
Yeah, think about this for a
hat. This is one of my main

2444
02:40:47,400 --> 02:40:51,330
things like what is the culture?
It's like, Man, this thing for

2445
02:40:51,330 --> 02:40:55,560
the culture we're doing for the
culture. We are orphans, bro. We

2446
02:40:55,560 --> 02:41:00,060
are culture LIS we don't have
our own culture. We signed to

2447
02:41:00,060 --> 02:41:03,840
culture vultures. We signed our
life away our contracts the

2448
02:41:03,840 --> 02:41:06,240
culture, vultures, think about
everything that's cultural.

2449
02:41:06,750 --> 02:41:11,100
Taking a knee is cultural. Being
on social media is cultural,

2450
02:41:11,310 --> 02:41:14,010
wearing high fashion is
cultural, push in a foreign is

2451
02:41:14,010 --> 02:41:18,690
cultural. All these things are
not owned by our culture. So who

2452
02:41:18,690 --> 02:41:22,470
designed the culture? What does
it mean? To do it for the

2453
02:41:22,470 --> 02:41:25,260
culture? That's why I do it for
Christ

2454
02:41:26,280 --> 02:41:32,250
is one thing that about Kanye?
He didn't do the I'm alright

2455
02:41:32,250 --> 02:41:36,180
man, when he really wasn't all
right. He I think he even went

2456
02:41:36,180 --> 02:41:39,090
to Diddy and said, Hey, I need
some money. Donald Trump give me

2457
02:41:39,090 --> 02:41:42,120
money. Anybody Invest in me, I
got something going here. And he

2458
02:41:42,120 --> 02:41:45,780
was right. But I kind of
remember that is not a not a

2459
02:41:45,780 --> 02:41:48,240
moment of Kanye saying I'm okay.

2460
02:41:49,290 --> 02:41:52,530
Well, I think he did it all the
way up. And when I mean, he did

2461
02:41:52,530 --> 02:41:56,100
it. Let me clarify what I mean.
I think he played the role of

2462
02:41:56,100 --> 02:41:59,790
I'm all right, I'm okay, up
until it started affecting his

2463
02:41:59,790 --> 02:42:03,600
mental health. And then he
understood, I'm going to need

2464
02:42:03,600 --> 02:42:06,420
help. Right. And that's, like I
said, this goes back to the

2465
02:42:06,420 --> 02:42:11,160
charity thing. The last thing
any man wants to? And if this is

2466
02:42:11,160 --> 02:42:18,780
general to me, is to ask for
help. Um, I don't know. It's

2467
02:42:18,780 --> 02:42:21,930
just I don't know why. I don't
know why that is. I don't know

2468
02:42:21,930 --> 02:42:25,470
if it's hard baked into, you
know, our gender

2469
02:42:25,470 --> 02:42:28,620
role, right. But what's
interesting is Kanye had

2470
02:42:28,620 --> 02:42:31,500
financial trouble, he asked for
help. Then he asked, he

2471
02:42:31,530 --> 02:42:34,860
literally openly said, I need
help. I got a mental problem.

2472
02:42:35,130 --> 02:42:37,590
And they excoriated him for it
for everything he

2473
02:42:37,590 --> 02:42:40,710
did. He did both of those at the
same time, because he tried to

2474
02:42:40,710 --> 02:42:44,610
play, he tried to go along to
get a loan. But when he did

2475
02:42:44,610 --> 02:42:48,720
that, it's a new, it's a new day
America speech at the law

2476
02:42:48,720 --> 02:42:52,170
concert. That was the point I'm
not just giving that was grandpa

2477
02:42:52,170 --> 02:42:54,840
talking. Right? Like, that's the
point. And that's the point of

2478
02:42:54,840 --> 02:42:59,040
it. Like, like, honestly, I
don't like I don't give a rat's

2479
02:42:59,040 --> 02:43:02,160
anymore. You know, I'm saying
like, not about life, but just,

2480
02:43:03,120 --> 02:43:06,930
I'm betting on me. And this is
this is the part of the

2481
02:43:06,930 --> 02:43:11,460
developing the free mind, is
that you block out all the

2482
02:43:11,460 --> 02:43:14,820
things I said before the shame,
of admitting that you're saying

2483
02:43:14,820 --> 02:43:17,910
that you're betting on yourself,
and you're taking a less secure

2484
02:43:17,910 --> 02:43:24,690
route to success. Um, because at
the end of the day, I had to

2485
02:43:24,690 --> 02:43:28,800
live with myself, I have to look
the 50 and 60 year old mo in the

2486
02:43:28,800 --> 02:43:33,630
mirror and say, Did I leave all
my own Austin own on the table?

2487
02:43:34,020 --> 02:43:38,040
Did I bet everything on myself.
And I think that's what kind of

2488
02:43:38,040 --> 02:43:40,770
what kind he probably went
through because he, he really

2489
02:43:40,770 --> 02:43:45,480
wanted the media's except
accepting him. That was the

2490
02:43:45,480 --> 02:43:48,900
whole point of running on the
stage. You didn't give me my

2491
02:43:48,900 --> 02:43:52,770
wars that I want. It's like, I'm
a genius, but you won't

2492
02:43:52,770 --> 02:43:56,220
recognize it. Then he realized
that dim one and I'm just

2493
02:43:56,220 --> 02:43:59,700
speaking from me watching Kanye
very closely, but just watching

2494
02:43:59,700 --> 02:44:04,650
from outside. It was to the
point where I don't let you

2495
02:44:04,650 --> 02:44:08,700
validate me anymore. Your
rewards don't validate me

2496
02:44:08,700 --> 02:44:14,580
anymore. But it had to come to
almost costing him his mental

2497
02:44:14,580 --> 02:44:22,860
health. Yeah. Which is really
the underlying whole point of

2498
02:44:22,860 --> 02:44:30,660
this episode is one, man. Take a
look at your mental health.

2499
02:44:31,290 --> 02:44:33,900
Because it's going to manifest
in your physical health as well.

2500
02:44:34,500 --> 02:44:38,610
Um, and don't feel like you're
alone. And if you feel like when

2501
02:44:38,610 --> 02:44:41,820
your brothers is, is being
isolated, reach out to him, pick

2502
02:44:41,820 --> 02:44:44,490
up the phone, not say he's
alright. He's good. You know,

2503
02:44:44,520 --> 02:44:48,330
um, pick up the phone and give
him a call and say you good,

2504
02:44:48,360 --> 02:44:51,270
bro. You're saying that kind of
just that kind of thing. You

2505
02:44:51,270 --> 02:44:55,680
might even be surprised what
effect that would have because

2506
02:44:56,040 --> 02:45:00,000
we're going to get into our dark
portion of the show here and I

2507
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:04,110
promise there's a light at the
end of the tunnel. I'll promise

2508
02:45:04,110 --> 02:45:07,320
you. So don't think we're going
morbid here. But we have to talk

2509
02:45:07,320 --> 02:45:09,240
about suicide and black men.

2510
02:45:10,590 --> 02:45:13,050
I had a very informative
interview with Dr. Joanne

2511
02:45:13,050 --> 02:45:17,040
Frederick about the science of
suicide along with prevention

2512
02:45:17,040 --> 02:45:20,580
just moments ago. And yeah, you
got to pick up on some of those

2513
02:45:20,580 --> 02:45:25,560
signs, you got to pay attention
a lot, Shannon, because this is

2514
02:45:25,680 --> 02:45:28,530
just comes out of nowhere.
Sometimes you just see people

2515
02:45:28,530 --> 02:45:31,200
who are full of life, and
sometimes the happiest people.

2516
02:45:31,260 --> 02:45:34,410
And that's what I always say,
check on your strongest friends.

2517
02:45:34,710 --> 02:45:37,230
Because sometimes your strongest
friends are the ones that need

2518
02:45:37,230 --> 02:45:41,010
the most help. I was one of
those guys that always put on

2519
02:45:41,010 --> 02:45:44,880
this strong facade, always happy
always trying to make everybody

2520
02:45:44,880 --> 02:45:48,000
else happy. Meanwhile, I'm
suffering the sound and so you

2521
02:45:48,000 --> 02:45:51,270
never know who could be dealing
with somebody. So always just

2522
02:45:51,270 --> 02:45:54,540
check on and say, Man, you okay,
everything good. Even when you

2523
02:45:54,540 --> 02:45:58,830
think they're happy. Still check
on your friends. Make sure you

2524
02:45:58,830 --> 02:46:00,090
do that. And your family
members.

2525
02:46:01,860 --> 02:46:06,270
Yeah. So this, this is the
strongest, strongest one. So I'm

2526
02:46:06,270 --> 02:46:08,940
gonna go back to kayak for a
minute because he had a line and

2527
02:46:08,940 --> 02:46:13,020
song called gorgeous. And he
said, If they ever saw black me,

2528
02:46:13,020 --> 02:46:17,460
they probably try to crack me.
So just going back to the mental

2529
02:46:17,460 --> 02:46:23,400
programming and the racial
programming, that this is a term

2530
02:46:23,400 --> 02:46:27,780
called unapologetically black.
Have you ever heard that? Sure.

2531
02:46:28,140 --> 02:46:33,780
So this also plays into that
respectability politics. Oh, si

2532
02:46:33,810 --> 02:46:39,540
si respectability policies is a
way of than weaponizing. You

2533
02:46:39,540 --> 02:46:42,510
deciding what's acceptable or
not. And they make it about

2534
02:46:42,510 --> 02:46:49,680
frivolous and trivial things.
Like your hair, or Sure, Tarkin

2535
02:46:49,680 --> 02:46:53,670
are this kind of silly stuff.
Where it's really about is

2536
02:46:53,670 --> 02:47:00,390
finding that sweet spot where
you can be you. And society is

2537
02:47:00,420 --> 02:47:04,830
okay with being you being you
like Kanye, my before he was a

2538
02:47:04,860 --> 02:47:09,150
hall, he was this, he was bad,
you know, all these things. And

2539
02:47:09,150 --> 02:47:12,720
so he found that sweet spot to
say, You know what, I love

2540
02:47:12,720 --> 02:47:19,140
myself, I'm happy with myself.
And until you find that mental

2541
02:47:19,140 --> 02:47:20,940
health is a real concern.

2542
02:47:22,530 --> 02:47:25,620
Most people don't find that,
unfortunately, until much later

2543
02:47:25,620 --> 02:47:28,170
in life, can be lucky if they're
lucky.

2544
02:47:28,830 --> 02:47:32,700
And some not fine at all. And it
can definitely have a cascading

2545
02:47:32,700 --> 02:47:39,660
effect on life. Because then you
start seeing things. And what I

2546
02:47:39,660 --> 02:47:43,560
mean by that is, you will see
something happened. And in what

2547
02:47:43,560 --> 02:47:45,990
shape this is where this is
where that ratio programming

2548
02:47:45,990 --> 02:47:49,200
gets very dangerous. Because
everything that happens to me

2549
02:47:49,200 --> 02:47:51,600
due to my race, everything that
happened because I'm black,

2550
02:47:51,630 --> 02:47:54,060
right, you know, everything that
happened me, you know, he could

2551
02:47:54,120 --> 02:47:58,320
kinda eat Kaya could have easily
went that way. And a lot of us

2552
02:47:58,320 --> 02:48:01,200
easily could go that way. You
know, like, this has happened to

2553
02:48:01,200 --> 02:48:05,790
me because of who I am. And then
you make it personal. It's like,

2554
02:48:05,790 --> 02:48:10,110
well, I can't change me. So do
you get a doom and gloom going

2555
02:48:10,110 --> 02:48:17,310
on. And that then you find
yourself in a dark place. And I

2556
02:48:17,310 --> 02:48:20,820
want to make a point here about
suicide. And I want to ask you a

2557
02:48:20,820 --> 02:48:26,730
question. Have you ever heard or
is that perception that suicide

2558
02:48:26,730 --> 02:48:31,860
is not a black thing? Um

2559
02:48:35,520 --> 02:48:40,470
Gosh, that's a let's put it this
way.

2560
02:48:43,110 --> 02:48:45,480
It's not a spot black. No,

2561
02:48:45,510 --> 02:48:49,380
no, black suicide is typically
not the way Black Death is

2562
02:48:49,380 --> 02:48:53,700
portrayed on television ever.
Whether it's the news or

2563
02:48:53,700 --> 02:48:59,130
fiction. Hmm, so so for that
reason, I would have to say,

2564
02:48:59,820 --> 02:49:04,590
yeah, it's not a thing. But not
like black people. Swimming is

2565
02:49:04,590 --> 02:49:05,220
not a thing.

2566
02:49:06,120 --> 02:49:11,100
Right? Let me give you a context
we're seeing with the suicide

2567
02:49:11,130 --> 02:49:15,180
myth, because the numbers are
growing every day. And it's

2568
02:49:15,180 --> 02:49:21,300
young black men that are that
are harming themselves. But the

2569
02:49:21,300 --> 02:49:25,380
typical suicide method that we
see you're saying in our

2570
02:49:25,380 --> 02:49:29,130
community, quote, unquote
community is the long road to

2571
02:49:29,130 --> 02:49:37,080
death. The unhealthy eating the
alcohol, the drug abuse, that

2572
02:49:37,080 --> 02:49:41,460
kind of thing. Eating I'm
serious, like eating is a long

2573
02:49:41,460 --> 02:49:45,150
road to suicide. Sure, we all
know what we're supposed to eat

2574
02:49:45,150 --> 02:49:47,100
and what we're not supposed to
eat, but if you don't enjoy your

2575
02:49:47,100 --> 02:49:50,550
life, what the hell of dying
young what is that? Yes, that's

2576
02:49:50,550 --> 02:49:54,630
more on my plate. That kind of
thing where it was gonna get me

2577
02:49:54,660 --> 02:49:58,770
whatever it is that morbid. You
know, if it's gonna get me it's

2578
02:49:58,770 --> 02:50:04,170
gonna get me kind of in cuz Life
ain't enjoyable anyway. So or in

2579
02:50:04,170 --> 02:50:07,830
the bottle. A lot of a lot of
people drink themselves to

2580
02:50:07,830 --> 02:50:12,240
death. Now you weren't
classified as a classic suicide.

2581
02:50:13,050 --> 02:50:16,560
But it's the same mentality
they're sure not want to drink

2582
02:50:16,560 --> 02:50:19,260
myself into harm and then drug
is stiff. It's mandatory.

2583
02:50:19,679 --> 02:50:24,689
It's it's nihilist. It's, it's
taking hold amongst young people

2584
02:50:24,689 --> 02:50:29,189
everywhere. But sounds like this
is of course, once again, not

2585
02:50:29,189 --> 02:50:29,879
reported.

2586
02:50:30,930 --> 02:50:36,090
Of course not. And, like I say,
older people used to have this

2587
02:50:36,120 --> 02:50:40,980
or when you get middle aged. Ah,
and this is touching on a lot of

2588
02:50:40,980 --> 02:50:45,120
shows I'm gonna cover later. But
one thing that I'm going to tell

2589
02:50:45,120 --> 02:50:47,970
you now Adam, one thing that
dawned on me when I started

2590
02:50:47,970 --> 02:50:54,060
working with you, is 40 is not
Oh, I mean, that in the most

2591
02:50:54,060 --> 02:50:57,960
respectful way becomes playing
I'm explaining to you why. Once

2592
02:50:57,960 --> 02:51:04,320
you're past your physical prom,
as a black man, life's over your

2593
02:51:04,320 --> 02:51:11,010
own now. It's time to athletics,
you know, notice all heroes

2594
02:51:11,010 --> 02:51:14,400
athletic course and understand
entertainers, those kind of

2595
02:51:14,400 --> 02:51:17,820
things. So if you notice,
there's no and a lot of actors

2596
02:51:17,820 --> 02:51:24,600
get into this situation. There's
no middle aged black actors.

2597
02:51:25,140 --> 02:51:27,990
Either they're young and they
play young roles, or even they

2598
02:51:27,990 --> 02:51:31,620
go to the Morgan Freeman kind of
thing, right? And I wish I had

2599
02:51:31,620 --> 02:51:34,170
this clip with Dimmesdale said
this, because there was a

2600
02:51:34,170 --> 02:51:38,370
reporter kept talking about, you
know, you know, the past she

2601
02:51:38,370 --> 02:51:40,290
kept bringing out his past
accomplishments and those kinds

2602
02:51:40,290 --> 02:51:44,130
of things. And he got hurt by it
because he's like, let's talk

2603
02:51:44,130 --> 02:51:48,480
about now because he understood
if I let you pigeonhole me as an

2604
02:51:48,510 --> 02:51:50,070
old man Yeah, I

2605
02:51:50,070 --> 02:51:53,550
remember that. I think I've seen
that one. Me and Morgan Freeman

2606
02:51:53,550 --> 02:51:58,200
are gonna be competing for oh,
yeah, right. There's there's no

2607
02:51:58,740 --> 02:52:01,410
I'm trying to think like the
like the middle aged actors are

2608
02:52:01,410 --> 02:52:03,960
saying white counterparts
there's always roles for them.

2609
02:52:04,380 --> 02:52:07,740
But you're saying are there's
always rows written for them?

2610
02:52:09,360 --> 02:52:17,280
But there's not in our in our
case, because once you get past

2611
02:52:17,280 --> 02:52:18,450
40 year old when

2612
02:52:18,450 --> 02:52:23,340
I actually the the middle age
actor, black man is the

2613
02:52:23,340 --> 02:52:32,130
overweight police chief. Yeah
the one

2614
02:52:32,160 --> 02:52:36,360
that's the one is amazed that
you say you put out these these

2615
02:52:36,360 --> 02:52:40,020
memes because you see it. I'm
gonna give you a perfect

2616
02:52:40,020 --> 02:52:43,560
example. Ah, the guy from the
office, Stanley.

2617
02:52:44,130 --> 02:52:48,870
Yeah, yes, yes, yes. Yes, of
course. Stanley. Great. gwad a

2618
02:52:48,870 --> 02:52:52,080
great example. The office is a
racist piece of shit.

2619
02:52:52,470 --> 02:52:58,740
No, it's I love the show. Cuz
that portrayal of their black

2620
02:52:58,740 --> 02:53:02,490
characters? Yeah. Ah, the two
lists on there. Yeah.

2621
02:53:02,910 --> 02:53:05,040
Darnell, I think is Darna. Yeah,

2622
02:53:05,190 --> 02:53:07,800
I forget. I forget their names.
It was the handbook. I know

2623
02:53:07,800 --> 02:53:09,960
Stanley. I forget the other
guy's name but the guy with the

2624
02:53:09,990 --> 02:53:10,950
fro Bach. I

2625
02:53:11,340 --> 02:53:13,830
think it's Darnell. Some
shipping.

2626
02:53:14,340 --> 02:53:18,150
Right. That kind of progress.
The the progression he went

2627
02:53:18,150 --> 02:53:23,550
through. Going from Yeah, to the
desk. Yeah, from I can I can

2628
02:53:25,320 --> 02:53:28,350
relate to that. So I kind of
like my thing. Like, we're

2629
02:53:28,350 --> 02:53:32,850
coming from the floor, you know,
working way into the office, I

2630
02:53:32,850 --> 02:53:35,880
can relate that. But going back
to Stanley. Notice Stanley ate

2631
02:53:35,880 --> 02:53:38,160
what he wanted. He kind of was
like inviting death to come.

2632
02:53:38,160 --> 02:53:42,600
Yes. That's awesome. That's that
suicide mentality that I'm

2633
02:53:42,600 --> 02:53:47,070
talking about? Wow. Okay. Yeah.
So I mean, I have to give props

2634
02:53:47,070 --> 02:53:50,130
to the office because they
nailed that. Right on right on

2635
02:53:50,130 --> 02:53:53,970
the head. As far as capturing
that just like, oh, how sad

2636
02:53:53,970 --> 02:54:01,260
that we all viewed that as very
funny. Yes. The more you know,

2637
02:54:01,860 --> 02:54:05,070
yes. It's not funny. But again,

2638
02:54:05,100 --> 02:54:09,300
again, another learning moment
here. Yeah, Stanley is real.

2639
02:54:09,750 --> 02:54:13,800
Yes, Stanley is real. Because
once you get over that prime,

2640
02:54:14,490 --> 02:54:17,700
it's like well, that's gonna get
me and what I find out is this

2641
02:54:17,700 --> 02:54:21,960
is not exclusive to black men.
No, but but our physical

2642
02:54:22,020 --> 02:54:28,050
abilities is so much part of our
identity. Yeah, that once you're

2643
02:54:28,050 --> 02:54:30,120
saying once you get the potbelly
that kind of things like, Oh,

2644
02:54:30,120 --> 02:54:31,950
I'm over. I'm old. I'm just
gonna wait for death to catch

2645
02:54:31,950 --> 02:54:34,410
me. I'm gonna have another side
of ribs while I'm doing it, that

2646
02:54:34,410 --> 02:54:38,700
kind of thing. You know, and me
sad. But that's kind of the

2647
02:54:38,700 --> 02:54:41,430
mentality. That's why you see,
and that but now you see you

2648
02:54:41,430 --> 02:54:47,010
that's why obesity and COVID is
running so because of that very

2649
02:54:47,010 --> 02:54:51,510
thing. But let's go ahead and
get back into number 25. Now,

2650
02:54:52,440 --> 02:54:55,290
and it's so important to get
past the stigma associated with

2651
02:54:55,290 --> 02:54:58,740
when you talk about stronger
people well 78% Of all people

2652
02:54:58,890 --> 02:55:02,280
who die by suicide are actually
men as according to the National

2653
02:55:02,280 --> 02:55:04,830
Alliance on Mental mental
illness, because I think he was

2654
02:55:04,830 --> 02:55:07,410
talking about being strong. A
lot of times men are supposed to

2655
02:55:07,410 --> 02:55:10,110
be strong and not supposed to
share their feelings, they have

2656
02:55:10,110 --> 02:55:13,230
all these emotions, and they go
through these things and don't

2657
02:55:13,230 --> 02:55:15,780
know how to deal with them don't
know how to cope with them. And

2658
02:55:15,780 --> 02:55:17,970
that's when the help comes in.
That's when the mental health

2659
02:55:17,970 --> 02:55:20,880
comes in, that's when talking to
someone and checking on other

2660
02:55:20,880 --> 02:55:24,030
people come into play. And don't
forget about the guys that are

2661
02:55:24,030 --> 02:55:27,510
in involved in these suicides
also, that are the fathers, the

2662
02:55:27,510 --> 02:55:31,230
brothers, the cousins, because
Ian had a father, he has a

2663
02:55:31,230 --> 02:55:34,620
father, he and Alexander senior,
you know, his feelings and his

2664
02:55:34,620 --> 02:55:38,010
emotions are going to play this
is not just Regina King is

2665
02:55:38,010 --> 02:55:41,460
affected by this, all the men in
his life also have to now cope

2666
02:55:41,460 --> 02:55:44,340
with this too, which could cause
depression or sadness that

2667
02:55:44,370 --> 02:55:47,550
they're dealing with. So anytime
that people are going through

2668
02:55:47,550 --> 02:55:51,600
this type of thing, surround
them with love, prayer care and

2669
02:55:51,600 --> 02:55:54,600
check on them. And not only in
this situation, but in everyday

2670
02:55:54,600 --> 02:55:55,860
life check on him.

2671
02:55:56,520 --> 02:56:03,750
You know, there was one suicide
that I saw, um must have been

2672
02:56:03,990 --> 02:56:06,690
might have been during Black
Lives Matter protests kind of

2673
02:56:06,690 --> 02:56:11,640
days as young black man and the
in, you know, to the cops or

2674
02:56:11,940 --> 02:56:14,220
he's like it, they were like
smashing and grabbing or

2675
02:56:14,220 --> 02:56:17,820
something. And the cops, you
know, it's like, you know, stop

2676
02:56:18,330 --> 02:56:22,650
any, he turns the gun upside
down on his head and just blows

2677
02:56:22,650 --> 02:56:26,130
his head off. I don't know if
you saw that. Not having I

2678
02:56:26,130 --> 02:56:29,580
haven't seen that. It was really
shocking for any for any child

2679
02:56:29,580 --> 02:56:33,630
really, in my eyes to do that.
But but that was one it's like,

2680
02:56:33,630 --> 02:56:37,410
whoa, whoa, what the hell? What
with how did that choice come

2681
02:56:37,410 --> 02:56:37,920
about?

2682
02:56:38,700 --> 02:56:43,080
But it's, it's funny you say
that because that is a suicide

2683
02:56:43,080 --> 02:56:47,400
mentality. Yeah. To when you
start smashing and grabbing and

2684
02:56:47,400 --> 02:56:50,580
don't care and don't care about
going to jail and don't care

2685
02:56:50,580 --> 02:56:55,410
about if somebody kills me. Or
if I kill them. This is all

2686
02:56:55,410 --> 02:56:59,970
traits of suicide, that they're
misdiagnosed by when you get to

2687
02:56:59,970 --> 02:57:07,350
the point where you're playing
the death, the death game, of

2688
02:57:07,350 --> 02:57:10,980
chasing that adrenaline rush of
just shooting at people and

2689
02:57:10,980 --> 02:57:11,970
they're shooting at you,

2690
02:57:13,080 --> 02:57:15,840
then then you're at the end
there.

2691
02:57:16,350 --> 02:57:20,370
But they wouldn't call them
suicidal. No. Right, but it's

2692
02:57:20,370 --> 02:57:23,310
clearly there. And another point
I want to move into before we

2693
02:57:23,310 --> 02:57:28,050
get into the next clip is
bothers. I don't know how men

2694
02:57:28,050 --> 02:57:33,510
cope without having fathers.
Because my dad is like, you

2695
02:57:33,510 --> 02:57:37,020
know, saying, been my anchor.
He's like he was saying, cuz I

2696
02:57:37,020 --> 02:57:40,920
could tell him I call him he
like, was not what was going on.

2697
02:57:40,920 --> 02:57:45,120
I bet I'm pretty good. And he
can tell when I'm not alright.

2698
02:57:47,040 --> 02:57:49,320
He's gonna say that last three
times pretty good. What's going

2699
02:57:49,320 --> 02:57:53,220
really what's really going on?
You're saying so the absence of

2700
02:57:53,220 --> 02:57:56,550
fathers plays into this as well.
Great.

2701
02:57:57,060 --> 02:58:03,000
So my father was not present at
all, pretty much after I was

2702
02:58:03,000 --> 02:58:09,090
six. Now I forgive him because I
know what he was doing. And I

2703
02:58:09,150 --> 02:58:12,570
and you know, he made he made a
choice, but he always provided

2704
02:58:12,570 --> 02:58:18,150
this as well as he could. I was
fortunate because I had lots of

2705
02:58:18,150 --> 02:58:24,780
father figures in my life. Older
man, who taught me like, like CB

2706
02:58:24,780 --> 02:58:28,950
radio, there's one one guy
another one taught me a lot

2707
02:58:28,950 --> 02:58:32,910
about big band music. And so
there I was lucky to have people

2708
02:58:32,910 --> 02:58:38,700
in my life. But I do not have
what you just said, Hmm, I do

2709
02:58:38,700 --> 02:58:40,320
have it with with some of these
men.

2710
02:58:41,820 --> 02:58:46,260
It doesn't have to be your
biological father, father figure

2711
02:58:46,260 --> 02:58:46,560
but as

2712
02:58:46,950 --> 02:58:49,860
with it with that I'm saying
this responsibility for all men

2713
02:58:49,860 --> 02:58:51,660
to keep your eye out and to
help.

2714
02:58:52,230 --> 02:58:54,780
Right and that's where to go
back to the barbershop. That's

2715
02:58:54,780 --> 02:58:58,680
why that was important. Because
you at least get a dose of that

2716
02:58:58,740 --> 02:59:02,730
in the barber shop. Ah, they
would know your accomplishment

2717
02:59:02,730 --> 02:59:06,030
all you graduating high school
heard you're saying that kind of

2718
02:59:06,060 --> 02:59:09,300
go to church, the same thing.
And you've isolated these people

2719
02:59:09,690 --> 02:59:14,670
from these modes of support. Ah,

2720
02:59:14,730 --> 02:59:18,000
Eddie Murphy and and Arsenio
Hall really did a good job of

2721
02:59:18,000 --> 02:59:19,440
kind of showing that I think,

2722
02:59:19,800 --> 02:59:23,070
yes, cuz that's, that's the way
in the barbershop as well. Ice

2723
02:59:23,070 --> 02:59:33,000
Cube. Yeah. You have a diversity
of age. The fact that everybody

2724
02:59:33,000 --> 02:59:35,790
has to come get their hair cut.
So you get this the diversity of

2725
02:59:35,790 --> 02:59:42,090
social socio economic diversity
there. Um, so yeah, it's really

2726
02:59:42,120 --> 02:59:48,330
I mean, it's a reason why I'm
saying is, is we have to make

2727
02:59:48,360 --> 02:59:52,980
sure people don't get isolated
in these times, where isolation

2728
02:59:53,010 --> 03:00:01,830
is running rampant. Because and
I'll make this point Sometimes

2729
03:00:01,830 --> 03:00:07,080
that people, even podcasting,
main, make people not feel alone

2730
03:00:07,110 --> 03:00:10,500
or live streaming, oh, sure,
those kinds of things because

2731
03:00:10,500 --> 03:00:13,140
they're like, Okay, at least,
I'm experienced this with

2732
03:00:13,140 --> 03:00:16,590
somebody else, or I can hear
other people talk. Like a lot of

2733
03:00:16,590 --> 03:00:19,980
time people like to listen to us
talk. Because they may be the

2734
03:00:19,980 --> 03:00:22,740
only conversation they hear for
long periods of time due to

2735
03:00:22,740 --> 03:00:23,460
isolation,

2736
03:00:23,729 --> 03:00:26,519
or just hear that they're not
entirely crazy questioning

2737
03:00:26,519 --> 03:00:27,119
things.

2738
03:00:27,539 --> 03:00:33,329
That's, that's another reason.
But yeah, it's, I want to make

2739
03:00:33,329 --> 03:00:36,179
sure everybody's alright. And
this is not exclusive to black

2740
03:00:36,179 --> 03:00:41,069
people. But I know how we are
that we don't want to have to

2741
03:00:41,069 --> 03:00:43,949
ask for any help. You know, cuz
we don't want to seem like we're

2742
03:00:43,949 --> 03:00:46,379
getting charity or handouts,
that kind of thing. So I'll just

2743
03:00:46,379 --> 03:00:49,679
say, once again, check on your
brothers. And you're saying if

2744
03:00:49,679 --> 03:00:53,819
you need help, seek help. So I'm
going to give him 26 Now,

2745
03:00:54,720 --> 03:00:57,870
but yeah, just just check on
people. Because it's important

2746
03:00:57,870 --> 03:01:01,380
and know that if you're going
through these things, that there

2747
03:01:01,440 --> 03:01:07,140
are brighter days ahead. And I
live my life one day at a time

2748
03:01:07,140 --> 03:01:09,840
now. And I wake up every
morning, I thank God for the

2749
03:01:09,840 --> 03:01:11,940
blessing that he's given me. And
I don't know how spiritual

2750
03:01:11,940 --> 03:01:14,100
people are. But I'm very
spiritual when it comes to that.

2751
03:01:14,220 --> 03:01:16,950
Maybe not religious, but
spiritual. I just think God that

2752
03:01:16,950 --> 03:01:19,980
I breath in my body, because I
always say that I'm far from

2753
03:01:19,980 --> 03:01:23,310
perfect, but I'm better than
most. And you have to understand

2754
03:01:23,310 --> 03:01:27,300
that no matter how bad you think
it is, sometimes, you have it a

2755
03:01:27,300 --> 03:01:30,150
lot better than a lot of people
in this world, but you still

2756
03:01:30,180 --> 03:01:34,530
have to continue to try because
Morrow could be that day where

2757
03:01:34,560 --> 03:01:38,850
everything turns around. So if
you need help, there is help

2758
03:01:38,850 --> 03:01:41,670
available, there's a lot of
people to talk to, once again,

2759
03:01:41,670 --> 03:01:44,760
the suicide prevention hotline
is out there. But also just your

2760
03:01:44,760 --> 03:01:47,730
friends, your family, your
pastors, everybody wants to get

2761
03:01:47,730 --> 03:01:52,440
in one 800 273 Talk is a Suicide
Prevention Lifeline that you can

2762
03:01:52,590 --> 03:01:57,660
reach out to, once again and if
you feel that way, please speak

2763
03:01:57,660 --> 03:01:57,960
up.

2764
03:01:58,920 --> 03:02:02,490
And I'll I'll add one personal
experience at the almost at the

2765
03:02:02,490 --> 03:02:08,700
end of the show here. I had a
moment in my life. I had a two

2766
03:02:08,700 --> 03:02:13,830
year old daughter, I had a big
house mortgage. I had a couple

2767
03:02:13,830 --> 03:02:16,770
100 bucks in the in the bank at
the end of the month, and I got

2768
03:02:16,770 --> 03:02:21,840
fired. And it was real this
time. And I did not tell my

2769
03:02:21,840 --> 03:02:25,320
wife, I didn't I didn't really
talk to anybody about it. I just

2770
03:02:25,350 --> 03:02:32,790
was freaking out internally for
five days. Just trying to think

2771
03:02:32,790 --> 03:02:34,950
what can I do? What can I do?
What can I do? What can I do?

2772
03:02:35,400 --> 03:02:38,340
And was a part that was good?
Was the coming up with

2773
03:02:38,340 --> 03:02:42,210
scenarios? What can I do because
I've benefited me later. But the

2774
03:02:42,210 --> 03:02:48,330
feeling that I had when on the
fifth or sixth day. I got that

2775
03:02:48,330 --> 03:02:53,250
like phone call. And in my case,
they hired me back for four

2776
03:02:53,250 --> 03:02:58,500
times as much. I decided right
then and there. The one thing

2777
03:02:58,500 --> 03:03:01,080
I'm not going to do is let it
eat me up inside.

2778
03:03:02,550 --> 03:03:07,230
And that's my point. Right?
That's that's the demise the

2779
03:03:07,230 --> 03:03:08,520
point of this whole show?

2780
03:03:09,930 --> 03:03:13,530
Well, and it's something I was
fortunate enough to just and I

2781
03:03:13,590 --> 03:03:18,570
I'll be honest, I'm always
honest, really. It was Anthony

2782
03:03:18,570 --> 03:03:23,610
Robbins. He had back in the day,
he had cassette tapes. And I

2783
03:03:23,610 --> 03:03:27,960
remember watching him you know,
I've done some info infomercial

2784
03:03:27,960 --> 03:03:31,290
late at night and like, okay, so
I ordered his tapes, the power

2785
03:03:31,290 --> 03:03:34,440
talk tapes, and it really didn't
take me more than listening to

2786
03:03:34,440 --> 03:03:38,730
one and I totally got it. And it
was exactly what he said that

2787
03:03:38,730 --> 03:03:44,010
feeling you have with your sad
happy, jealous, all these

2788
03:03:44,010 --> 03:03:47,850
feelings. You have the power to
change that instantly in a snap

2789
03:03:47,850 --> 03:03:50,790
of finger you can change that
feeling internally and actually

2790
03:03:50,790 --> 03:03:55,080
only you have that capability.
And somehow that has stuck with

2791
03:03:55,080 --> 03:04:00,840
me and when I was in that
position. i i Only when I was

2792
03:04:00,840 --> 03:04:04,470
fortunate enough for it all to
end at that moment I realize all

2793
03:04:04,470 --> 03:04:07,770
the game playing all that was
good for what can I do? What are

2794
03:04:07,770 --> 03:04:12,270
my options, but the feeling is
what will kill you. It will and

2795
03:04:12,270 --> 03:04:13,800
that that's what can consume
you.

2796
03:04:14,580 --> 03:04:17,580
And the mental loop that you say
cuz you can't stop it?

2797
03:04:17,759 --> 03:04:19,949
No, no, no, you can't say
anything.

2798
03:04:21,270 --> 03:04:24,300
Is I'm not gonna say you can't
because you can do all things.

2799
03:04:24,900 --> 03:04:32,400
But it's breaking that mental
loop a lot. You know, like you

2800
03:04:32,400 --> 03:04:36,630
were saying you five days you're
just fretting. Uh, what's going

2801
03:04:36,630 --> 03:04:39,390
to happen next. What do you
start playing out in eastern

2802
03:04:39,390 --> 03:04:42,720
area start playing out in your
head. So I'm glad I thank you

2803
03:04:42,720 --> 03:04:47,370
for sharing that. But I guess we
can go ahead and get to thank

2804
03:04:47,370 --> 03:04:48,870
the rest of the producers.

2805
03:04:48,900 --> 03:04:52,170

have a new ones that are brand

03:10:00,930 --> 03:10:04,590
new than an old 20 That's kind
of dumb. But there's something

2880
03:10:04,590 --> 03:10:09,120
about new money that excites
you. You like $100 bills. Money

2881

to Oh, most beautiful thing on
earth is $100 bill. I haven't

do it. issues a technical issue
universe will be thrown off. We

2887

you're right, like

2888
03:10:33,480 --> 03:10:37,410
last time we left the door open.
That was bad. Yeah, it was bad.

2889
03:10:37,410 --> 03:10:40,230
It was everything and go right
to that. But let's go ahead and

2890
03:10:40,230 --> 03:10:43,800
get into the final clip from
Kanye and this is talking about

2891
03:10:43,800 --> 03:10:45,330
the victimization mentality

2892
03:10:45,660 --> 03:10:50,580
I've been canceled canceled be
40 had canceled culture. I was

2893
03:10:50,580 --> 03:10:53,100
cancelled before they had to
turn do you care about any of

2894
03:10:53,100 --> 03:10:58,020
it? I do I care by everything.
Does it does it not rub you the

2895
03:10:58,020 --> 03:11:01,020
wrong way? But does it get to
your core when when people do

2896
03:11:01,470 --> 03:11:07,800
rub me the right way? Did they
say you turn who turned your

2897
03:11:07,800 --> 03:11:13,800
back on the culture or exactly
100% I have turned my back on

2898
03:11:13,800 --> 03:11:19,380
the idea of victimization
mentality. We are locked up. We

2899
03:11:19,380 --> 03:11:23,310
went from one to four. We went
from one a four to one a three.

2900
03:11:23,580 --> 03:11:29,160
But we always pointing at the
white people. But yet we want to

2901
03:11:29,160 --> 03:11:32,730
spend all of our money on
Florence. We want to spend all

2902
03:11:32,730 --> 03:11:36,630
our money on luxury as opposed
to going and buying some land.

2903
03:11:37,350 --> 03:11:42,090
America is for sale. And there's
a lot of barren land Disney

2904
03:11:42,090 --> 03:11:46,800
bought a lot of it in Florida.
But the culture has you focused

2905
03:11:46,830 --> 03:11:50,640
so much on fucking somebody
bitch and pulling up in a

2906
03:11:50,640 --> 03:11:54,600
foreign and rapping about things
that could get you locked up and

2907
03:11:54,600 --> 03:12:01,230
then saying you about prison
reform. Like, bro we brainwashed

2908
03:12:01,230 --> 03:12:05,010
out here, bro. Come on, man.
It's a free man talking.

2909
03:12:08,220 --> 03:12:11,580
Democrats had his bone Democrats
with food stamps for years, bro.

2910
03:12:12,510 --> 03:12:16,380
What are you talking about? Guns
in the 80s. Taking the father's

2911
03:12:16,380 --> 03:12:20,910
out the home. plan be? Lauren
our votes, making us our board

2912
03:12:20,910 --> 03:12:26,220
our children. Gotcha now kill. I
can't tell y'all how to feel.

2913
03:12:26,370 --> 03:12:29,730
But what I can tell you
honestly, is how I feel.

2914
03:12:29,940 --> 03:12:32,850
Yeah, that was such a great bit
from that interview.

2915
03:12:33,660 --> 03:12:37,470
And I can't tell you all how to
feel I can tell you how I feel.

2916
03:12:38,100 --> 03:12:43,500
So I had to look myself in the
mirror and I said you can't be

2917
03:12:43,500 --> 03:12:50,160
no victim, bro. That's the only
way that is the only way you win

2918
03:12:50,610 --> 03:12:55,770
in this game is you can't be a
victim. And the whole episode, I

2919
03:12:55,770 --> 03:12:58,830
walk y'all through the mental
process those five days you

2920
03:12:58,830 --> 03:13:03,420
talked about? This is what I
went through. And on the back

2921
03:13:03,420 --> 03:13:07,170
end of it's like, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa. Nobody has

2922
03:13:07,170 --> 03:13:11,250
control over my life except me.
and Mrs. Facts.

2923
03:13:12,540 --> 03:13:13,890
Well, there's that.

2924
03:13:17,100 --> 03:13:24,240
But yeah, that's best it you
know. So, yeah, so I had a gut

2925
03:13:24,240 --> 03:13:27,660
check Thomas, go Tom. It's like
there's no, there's no room for

2926
03:13:27,660 --> 03:13:30,930
to be a victim. You can be
angry, but how do you go and

2927
03:13:30,930 --> 03:13:35,250
channel that anger? So I had to
go back and pull out the old

2928
03:13:35,250 --> 03:13:39,690
book, The Seven Habits, you
know, say Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah,

2929
03:13:39,720 --> 03:13:43,620
you know, and I had to revisit
the first habit. And the first

2930
03:13:43,620 --> 03:13:47,640
habit is being proactive. And if
you're proactive, that gives you

2931
03:13:47,640 --> 03:13:50,550
the power and puts you back in
the controller seat. So these

2932
03:13:50,550 --> 03:13:54,120
next three clips are followed
guys that were angry like me and

2933
03:13:54,120 --> 03:13:57,750
was empathize with me. It's time
to suck it up. Time to get

2934
03:13:57,750 --> 03:14:00,060
proactive fellas. So let's go
ahead and get to number 29.

2935
03:14:00,360 --> 03:14:01,350
Habit one.

2936
03:14:02,790 --> 03:14:10,140
Be proactive. Basically means
that your life is a product of

2937
03:14:10,140 --> 03:14:18,000
your values, not your feelings.
That your life or the

2938
03:14:18,060 --> 03:14:24,810
organization's life is the
product of your decisions, not

2939
03:14:24,870 --> 03:14:31,950
your conditions. The opposite of
being proactive, is to be

2940
03:14:31,950 --> 03:14:40,530
reactive. Which basically means
that your life is a function of

2941
03:14:40,530 --> 03:14:46,350
your feelings, your moods, your
impulses, other people's

2942
03:14:46,350 --> 03:14:52,230
treatment. The underlying
principle of habit one, be

2943
03:14:52,230 --> 03:14:55,410
proactive, is to take
responsibility.

2944
03:14:56,250 --> 03:15:00,330
Oh wow. That's so true man. And
boy, are we being trained that

2945
03:15:00,330 --> 03:15:03,720
to be like, you know how you
feel how you make others feel

2946
03:15:04,020 --> 03:15:06,120
crazy. Yeah, spot on.

2947
03:15:07,080 --> 03:15:10,980
And he points out, I didn't clip
this, because we're saying it

2948
03:15:10,980 --> 03:15:14,280
was kind of buried in between
two points he was making, but in

2949
03:15:14,280 --> 03:15:20,190
between the stimulus and your
reaction is your power to decide

2950
03:15:20,190 --> 03:15:24,000
how you're going to react to
whatever thrown at you. Yeah,

2951
03:15:24,720 --> 03:15:28,080
you have the stimulus, me being
fired. And then you have my

2952
03:15:28,080 --> 03:15:33,420
reaction. And in between there,
if I just went off a gut feeling

2953
03:15:33,420 --> 03:15:37,920
and got angry and stayed angry,
they had control. But the fat I

2954
03:15:37,920 --> 03:15:43,260
say, You know what, I'm gonna
control how rare it is. So I did

2955
03:15:43,260 --> 03:15:47,190
three episodes of Converse this
week. I've been busy. I've been

2956
03:15:47,190 --> 03:15:50,640
talking to people on the back
end with the fax machine, you

2957
03:15:50,640 --> 03:15:55,110
know, saying making plans, you
know, more and more. It's crazy

2958
03:15:55,110 --> 03:15:58,320
how the universe works. Because
when you think, not in a lack

2959
03:15:58,320 --> 03:16:01,260
mindset, but the abundance
mindset. And I mean, that just

2960
03:16:01,260 --> 03:16:04,890
in appearance forms, not nice,
esoteric ways. But just the fact

2961
03:16:04,890 --> 03:16:08,610
if you get out of that loop of
how you've been done wrong, and

2962
03:16:08,610 --> 03:16:13,830
how things are bad for you, and
look at, oh, man, I am free. I

2963
03:16:13,830 --> 03:16:17,430
am a free man talking. Nobody
has control over me anymore.

2964
03:16:18,030 --> 03:16:22,740
Then the doors open for you.
interest you.

2965
03:16:22,860 --> 03:16:26,940
This is very interesting. You
use the term I would use you

2966
03:16:26,940 --> 03:16:31,350
said what the universe did.
universe or God

2967
03:16:31,770 --> 03:16:36,330
is God. But what I'm saying is I
make I've never forced my my

2968
03:16:36,360 --> 03:16:40,290
religion on anybody else. So I
don't want the message to be

2969
03:16:40,290 --> 03:16:44,010
lost. Because they say God said
God does not pertain to me,

2970
03:16:44,250 --> 03:16:47,940
whatever you call it, whatever
you're saying, Whatever you

2971
03:16:47,940 --> 03:16:54,270
refer to, as you control with
your mind, your outcome. That's

2972
03:16:54,270 --> 03:16:58,890
right. By what thoughts, what
your thoughts are, if you're in

2973
03:16:58,890 --> 03:17:00,720
a negative place, things are
gonna get worse. If you're going

2974
03:17:00,720 --> 03:17:02,610
to run it from light and you and
worry about get caught by that

2975
03:17:02,610 --> 03:17:06,210
light, you're going to get
caught by that light. Or if you

2976
03:17:06,210 --> 03:17:08,490
do get caught by it, like you're
saying you got worried about it,

2977
03:17:08,490 --> 03:17:10,200
guess what you're saying? It's
just another minute, you're

2978
03:17:10,200 --> 03:17:13,470
like, you're saying this about
higher perspective, you put it

2979
03:17:13,470 --> 03:17:18,750
in? So like, I never, I always
make it a habit, not to leave

2980
03:17:18,750 --> 03:17:24,900
people in a doom and gloom
state. Because if you do, and

2981
03:17:24,900 --> 03:17:29,190
that's very harmful. So like I
said, I had to go back and dig

2982
03:17:29,190 --> 03:17:33,810
out my book that Mahmoud Brahma
gave me God rested, rest in

2983
03:17:33,810 --> 03:17:38,430
peace. But he handed me this
book. And that changed my life

2984
03:17:38,610 --> 03:17:44,520
that made it that sowed the
seed, that this whole podcast in

2985
03:17:44,520 --> 03:17:47,670
the spirit of water, to say, You
know what, I'm beginning this

2986
03:17:47,670 --> 03:17:50,640
job. And, you know, the crazy
thing is, I always thought I was

2987
03:17:50,640 --> 03:17:54,900
bigger than my job as I read
that book. But it's like when

2988
03:17:54,900 --> 03:17:57,990
somebody takes something away
from you, and takes control out

2989
03:17:57,990 --> 03:18:02,430
of your hands. Do you get angry
about it? But as I was on my way

2990
03:18:02,430 --> 03:18:08,430
out anyway, what do you what are
you mad about? Right? So it's

2991
03:18:08,430 --> 03:18:12,510
just that that that's the point
I want to make is, don't doom

2992
03:18:12,510 --> 03:18:15,750
and gloom. If you need help,
seek help. Adam, if you could

2993
03:18:15,750 --> 03:18:18,870
please put that suicide
prevention number in there.

2994
03:18:18,870 --> 03:18:21,600
We'll get it in the show notes
because I'm not Pooh poohing

2995
03:18:21,600 --> 03:18:24,120
that you're saying it's some
darkness, it's the opportunity

2996
03:18:24,120 --> 03:18:28,740
to be dark. But how you respond
to is how you stand in your

2997
03:18:28,740 --> 03:18:32,700
power. It's that space between
your sending the stimulus and

2998
03:18:32,700 --> 03:18:36,360
the reaction. That's where you
decide how you want to react to

2999
03:18:37,230 --> 03:18:39,300
AV USA before we get into 30?

3000
03:18:40,290 --> 03:18:45,660
No, I think you I think you
summed it up really well. The

3001
03:18:45,660 --> 03:18:48,630
power of the mind is awesome, no
matter what you call it, and

3002
03:18:48,900 --> 03:18:52,200
whatever you're focused on.
Here. There's so many sayings

3003
03:18:52,200 --> 03:18:55,530
about this, you know, grass is
always greener on the other

3004
03:18:55,530 --> 03:18:59,910
side, but it's also greener
where you water it. So wherever

3005
03:18:59,910 --> 03:19:03,090
you're focusing, that's that's
where you're going to go and

3006
03:19:03,090 --> 03:19:07,590
that's what I've seen time and
time again. She's just what do

3007
03:19:07,590 --> 03:19:10,590
you want? Just if you want you
can clarify that you focus on it

3008
03:19:10,590 --> 03:19:14,160
you go and it'll happen it's
I've seen it my friends have

3009
03:19:14,160 --> 03:19:18,090
seen it. You're seeing it. It's
it's it's a crazy thing.

3010
03:19:19,560 --> 03:19:24,750
But it's real not in that first
phone call and the star opened

3011
03:19:24,750 --> 03:19:29,040
the door for you, me and you to
meet one day. Absolutely. The

3012
03:19:29,040 --> 03:19:32,730
universe like okay, you stepping
out on faith, okay, I'm opening

3013
03:19:33,060 --> 03:19:35,310
another door for you. And when
you get there to realize the

3014
03:19:35,310 --> 03:19:38,610
door be open here saying is
another door and another door

3015
03:19:38,730 --> 03:19:41,340
and another and you look back
like wow, like well, how the

3016
03:19:41,340 --> 03:19:46,650
hell did I get here? In a good
way is like how did I get here?

3017
03:19:46,650 --> 03:19:49,890
So now we're not we don't doom
and gloom over here. You thought

3018
03:19:49,890 --> 03:19:56,280
that's what you thought that's
what this was none. So we can go

3019
03:19:56,280 --> 03:19:57,120
and get into 30.

3020
03:19:57,480 --> 03:20:03,570
The underlying principle of
habit one, be proactive, is to

3021
03:20:03,570 --> 03:20:11,670
take responsibility. The concept
is, you and I have the capacity

3022
03:20:12,120 --> 03:20:16,650
to choose our response. If you
don't believe that you're

3023
03:20:16,650 --> 03:20:20,130
capable of choosing your own
response, if you don't have that

3024
03:20:20,130 --> 03:20:24,210
vision of yourself, if you're
deep into victim ism, I'll just

3025
03:20:24,210 --> 03:20:29,790
about guarantee you, you will
become disempowered, you will

3026
03:20:29,790 --> 03:20:35,190
not begin with the end in mind
with careful thinking about the

3027
03:20:35,190 --> 03:20:39,780
future, you'll be a function of
the past, you will put second,

3028
03:20:39,960 --> 03:20:44,400
third, fourth and fifth things
first, yep. With your ladder

3029
03:20:44,400 --> 03:20:48,000
leaning against the wrong wall,
you'll think Win, lose or lose

3030
03:20:48,000 --> 03:20:52,350
win, you'll always seek to be
understood first, rather than to

3031
03:20:52,350 --> 03:20:56,070
understand. And you'll be
constantly watching all kinds of

3032
03:20:56,070 --> 03:21:01,470
relationships because both
parties feel misunderstood. Ego

3033
03:21:01,470 --> 03:21:05,070
battles will develop, at best,
you'll end up with compromise

3034
03:21:05,100 --> 03:21:08,160
instead of synergy. And you will
not take the time to sharpen the

3035
03:21:08,160 --> 03:21:14,010
saw because you simply don't
have the time to get gas. You're

3036
03:21:14,010 --> 03:21:18,000
too busy. You're buried in the
thick of thin things.

3037
03:21:18,570 --> 03:21:21,180
Yeah, yeah, this is such a good
book. So

3038
03:21:22,200 --> 03:21:26,940
life changing. And the reason
why it's life changing is it

3039
03:21:26,940 --> 03:21:30,720
doesn't cost you anything to
practice the habits. It doesn't

3040
03:21:30,720 --> 03:21:34,920
matter what your economic status
is your educational status, any

3041
03:21:34,920 --> 03:21:38,820
of that anybody can start the
seven habits today. And this is

3042
03:21:38,820 --> 03:21:42,060
not a promotion of the seven
habits per se. But it's the

3043
03:21:42,060 --> 03:21:45,210
principles behind them of being
proactive. Thinking with the

3044
03:21:45,210 --> 03:21:48,030
end, Sam beginning with end in
mind. They're saying so on and

3045
03:21:48,030 --> 03:21:51,930
so on. And it's one thing that
he you're saying he talks about

3046
03:21:52,290 --> 03:21:59,460
in there is and I want to harp
on this just for a second. I

3047
03:21:59,460 --> 03:22:03,810
know I said reach out to people
and talk to people. But at the

3048
03:22:03,810 --> 03:22:07,230
same time, look at the quality
of people that you're talking

3049
03:22:07,230 --> 03:22:10,140
to. Because if you're only
talking to somebody who's going

3050
03:22:10,140 --> 03:22:13,800
to be negative, that only sends
you negative posts. It only

3051
03:22:13,800 --> 03:22:17,820
wants to get into this
complaining, oh, you know, I'll

3052
03:22:17,820 --> 03:22:21,450
look at another another vaccine
story, another vaccine story,

3053
03:22:21,540 --> 03:22:28,110
another vaccine story. You might
want to start vetting. To say

3054
03:22:28,470 --> 03:22:32,790
are we building? Or are we going
to just stay in saying wallow in

3055
03:22:32,790 --> 03:22:37,260
victimization, right. So I just
wanna I just want to make that

3056
03:22:37,260 --> 03:22:41,040
point because Yeah, cuz you can
you can have people to talk to

3057
03:22:42,210 --> 03:22:45,480
it might put you in a worse
situation, because they don't

3058
03:22:45,480 --> 03:22:48,690
bring us and they're not
thinking with the value adding

3059
03:22:48,690 --> 03:22:52,170
mine. And that like I said, once
again, I gotta pay Eclass for

3060
03:22:52,170 --> 03:22:56,190
that, because his favorite line
is, and he gonna laugh when I

3061
03:22:56,190 --> 03:23:00,330
say this. What you're gonna do
cuz that's his favorite.

3062
03:23:02,460 --> 03:23:05,130
Everything you go through at the
odd man, you know, it's messed

3063
03:23:05,130 --> 03:23:08,130
up. He said, What are you gonna
do? Cuz? Well, that means it

3064
03:23:08,130 --> 03:23:10,980
mess up. The running line
between him is with all that

3065
03:23:10,980 --> 03:23:17,430
said, What's your next move?
Yeah, that's right. And, like I

3066
03:23:17,430 --> 03:23:20,760
said, in that and when he best
that kind of friend, you need to

3067
03:23:20,760 --> 03:23:27,690
say what you sound like a little
Mitch right now, you know, hey,

3068
03:23:29,160 --> 03:23:34,440
you need to man up. It's a time
and place for it. And of course,

3069
03:23:34,440 --> 03:23:37,050
there's a time and place know,
to empathize with your friend

3070
03:23:37,050 --> 03:23:39,450
like, yeah, that is messed up,
you know, that kind of thing.

3071
03:23:39,450 --> 03:23:43,590
But don't get any pity party
either. It's a careful balance.

3072
03:23:44,940 --> 03:23:51,510
That we need to understand how
to strike. So, anything you want

3073
03:23:51,510 --> 03:23:51,840
to say

3074
03:23:51,870 --> 03:23:55,500
or no, I'm, I'm right there. I'm
already you're saying you're

3075
03:23:55,500 --> 03:23:56,520
doing a beautiful job.

3076
03:23:56,910 --> 03:23:57,630
So what you're gonna do,

3077
03:24:00,060 --> 03:24:02,490
what I'm gonna do is play number
31

3078
03:24:02,550 --> 03:24:06,750
You're too busy. You're buried
in the thick of thin things.

3079
03:24:08,520 --> 03:24:13,050
That's why haven't one is so
foundational, so basic. It is

3080
03:24:13,050 --> 03:24:19,860
the vital foundational component
of every other habit. Again,

3081
03:24:19,860 --> 03:24:27,570
let's define it as the capacity,
the desire to subordinate

3082
03:24:28,620 --> 03:24:35,280
impulses, moods, feelings,
conditions, to values based on

3083
03:24:35,280 --> 03:24:40,470
principles to subordinate until
little by little, our emotional

3084
03:24:40,470 --> 03:24:47,610
life, which was once like this
gets ironed out. You still may

3085
03:24:47,610 --> 03:24:50,790
have some ups and downs
emotionally, but there is a

3086
03:24:50,790 --> 03:24:55,740
steadiness, a constancy in your
nature, to where you can make

3087
03:24:55,770 --> 03:25:01,410
and keep promises to yourself
and to others. where you can

3088
03:25:01,410 --> 03:25:05,580
treat others with kindness
without capitulating your

3089
03:25:05,580 --> 03:25:10,710
convictions? In short, to where
you can begin to practice the

3090
03:25:10,710 --> 03:25:13,080
other habits, which build on top
of it.

3091
03:25:14,190 --> 03:25:19,020
Yeah, and I'll add my personal
recommendations for maintaining

3092
03:25:19,020 --> 03:25:23,130
your emotions. Turn off the
television and do not go on

3093
03:25:23,130 --> 03:25:29,130
social media. Those two things
are critical. When you want to

3094
03:25:29,130 --> 03:25:33,450
focus on something else, you
don't want your emotions playing

3095
03:25:33,450 --> 03:25:37,710
with you because the trickery is
so deep in the world is geared

3096
03:25:38,190 --> 03:25:40,470
to trigger your emotions. 24/7

3097
03:25:41,700 --> 03:25:46,920
Yes, and we tap into it soon as
we wake up. Oh, yeah. Especially

3098
03:25:46,920 --> 03:25:54,360
at a point. And I had my alarm
on my phone rings and this is

3099
03:25:54,360 --> 03:25:55,470
the stories for the day.

3100
03:25:55,560 --> 03:25:58,140
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, this is
not healthy.

3101
03:25:58,650 --> 03:26:01,770
I'm not I'm just saying I'm just
letting you know. I'm saying

3102
03:26:01,770 --> 03:26:05,490
transparency, you're saying this
that what you're saying is very

3103
03:26:05,490 --> 03:26:09,960
true. That they tell you what to
worry about. At the point of

3104
03:26:09,960 --> 03:26:12,690
waking up, it's like this is the
stuff you had to be worried

3105
03:26:12,690 --> 03:26:15,360
about today. And when I realized
that you know I don't use it

3106
03:26:15,360 --> 03:26:20,310
anymore. But yeah, it's it's
real like that. So hopefully

3107
03:26:20,370 --> 03:26:26,700
just this introspective ride I
took you on um, help somebody if

3108
03:26:26,700 --> 03:26:29,700
it helped one person it was
worth it. Um,

3109
03:26:29,790 --> 03:26:32,430
I think it helped you and it
helped me and it helped everyone

3110
03:26:32,430 --> 03:26:36,210
who's listening this is this was
beautiful to witness to see it

3111
03:26:36,210 --> 03:26:36,990
all unfold.

3112
03:26:37,500 --> 03:26:40,560
It definitely helped me it
definitely right and this this

3113
03:26:40,560 --> 03:26:46,410
was a good getting the toxins
out kind of thing and and like I

3114
03:26:46,410 --> 03:26:49,260
said, let people know where I'm
at right now I'm back on the

3115
03:26:49,260 --> 03:26:52,650
seven habits. I never went away
from them but it's a refocusing

3116
03:26:52,980 --> 03:26:56,310
and now it's just being
proactive and you know, growing

3117
03:26:56,310 --> 03:27:03,060
growing this thing to I don't
think people really get how big

3118
03:27:03,060 --> 03:27:07,620
the end is in my mind. Like I'm
beginning with the end in mind

3119
03:27:07,620 --> 03:27:09,630
and then they'll see

3120
03:27:10,620 --> 03:27:13,800
me but I have an idea I have I
have ideas of how

3121
03:27:14,010 --> 03:27:16,680
are you from the future so
you're gonna say

3122
03:27:17,550 --> 03:27:20,340
thank you for doing this mo this
was I know it was personal for

3123
03:27:20,340 --> 03:27:24,690
you. You put a lot a lot into
this not just the work for the

3124
03:27:24,690 --> 03:27:27,120
clips, but thinking about what
you want to say and I really

3125
03:27:27,120 --> 03:27:30,510
enjoyed it and I learned a lot
as usual, but maybe a little

3126
03:27:30,510 --> 03:27:31,470
extra more today.

3127
03:27:32,310 --> 03:27:36,510
I'm glad you enjoyed it. And as
I always say pay attention to

3128
03:27:36,510 --> 03:27:38,790
everything and the true reveal
itself.

3129
03:27:39,480 --> 03:27:43,650
And again, in the show notes
