0:41
Speaker 1: happy holidays that everyone we love, y'all. Can we do
0:46
Speaker 1: following too? It's like everybody just doesn't celebrate the same thing. Yeah,
0:51
Speaker 1: I'm not one to celebrate American man made holidays. However,
0:56
Speaker 1: I just enjoy the spirit of them. So I just
1:00
Speaker 1: be there being the room, participating in the spirit and
1:04
Speaker 1: they spirit. Yeah, I'm definitely screwed even on trying to
1:10
Speaker 1: get these Kobe's they're called the grinches that come out
1:16
Speaker 1: please sneakers. We're speaking of the bridges. What's going in
1:20
Speaker 1: to get into in case you missed? Okay, what you
1:27
Speaker 1: guys want to talk about? First? The baby the plans
1:30
Speaker 1: are retiring from music in five years. That is so
1:33
Speaker 1: interesting to me. To give me the juice on that.
1:38
Speaker 1: Uh well, a board with what he's doing. I mean
1:42
Speaker 1: I could definitely feel that, um because I've been if
1:48
Speaker 1: he's borable what he's doing, he'd say about five years,
1:51
Speaker 1: he'll start creating other other versions of him, you know,
1:54
Speaker 1: many many hymns or bigger superstars, uh rappers or entertainers
1:59
Speaker 1: who are bigger than him. I'm cool with that. I mean, now,
2:01
Speaker 1: if he's tried to start back rapping again in five years,
2:04
Speaker 1: then you know that means you didn't retire. But are
2:09
Speaker 1: you gonna really retire or you know, you're just saying
2:12
Speaker 1: that right now for headlines. Well, you know a lot
2:15
Speaker 1: of people do it for the headline. But I feel
2:18
Speaker 1: like he will, you know, take his label to another
2:21
Speaker 1: level and create other superstars. Um, that would be smart,
2:25
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. There's a lot of people
2:26
Speaker 1: don't look out for others. They just go for self
2:29
Speaker 1: and they try to write it out as long as
2:31
Speaker 1: they can. Uh So, I think it's a cool idea.
2:34
Speaker 1: Do I think that he's gonna just stop rapping and
2:37
Speaker 1: do a label and that's it. No, I feel like
2:40
Speaker 1: he may jump on a track, you know, with some
2:43
Speaker 1: of his artists and uh push it like that. Yeah.
2:49
Speaker 1: So I guess what I'm wondering is, But when I
2:51
Speaker 1: hear you know, create other superstars, in my mind, I'm thinking, Okay,
2:56
Speaker 1: he's going back to the roots of it were where
3:00
Speaker 1: labels were really taking people and I guess kind of
3:03
Speaker 1: molding them and really teaching them to be the superstars
3:08
Speaker 1: that they could potentially be, Whereas now it seems like
3:12
Speaker 1: most labels want someone who's already done, someone who's already
3:16
Speaker 1: well packaged, doesn't need a lot of work, um already
3:19
Speaker 1: has a million plus followers on social media. So I'm
3:24
Speaker 1: wondering if he's really going back to the grassrooted way
3:28
Speaker 1: of of taking someone who you know has potential, just
3:31
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily have I guess to know how the swag,
3:35
Speaker 1: the the you know what I'm saying. So I'm curious
3:39
Speaker 1: to see, like how how he does this. Plus I
3:43
Speaker 1: think you've got to think about this too, m You
3:47
Speaker 1: know how some people question the me goes and say
3:50
Speaker 1: that they feel like the megos era might be over with.
3:54
Speaker 1: They feel like the flow is has been used over
3:57
Speaker 1: and over and over again. You kind of have to
3:59
Speaker 1: consider is the baby really thinking ahead and saying, all right, well,
4:03
Speaker 1: this is the type of rapper that I am and
4:05
Speaker 1: it works for me right now. Is this gonna be
4:08
Speaker 1: what music is in five years? I'm just wondering, like
4:11
Speaker 1: where he really is coming from. But nonetheless, I think
4:14
Speaker 1: it's a smart vote. I think you can retire whenever
4:17
Speaker 1: you want, and as a as a true artist, you
4:20
Speaker 1: can come back whenever you want. So no matter what,
4:22
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be just fine. I'm look thinking
4:26
Speaker 1: like what superstars he brings on board. Yeah, I do
4:29
Speaker 1: think that in the back of his mind he knows
4:31
Speaker 1: that the rap rap changes all the time. And um,
4:35
Speaker 1: just like he said, he switched just flowing rock star,
4:38
Speaker 1: you know from how he originally was sounding. But I
4:41
Speaker 1: think he looks to the future, and I just think
4:43
Speaker 1: that he's just just gonna give others a chance, you
4:46
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, to make it people that you
4:47
Speaker 1: know from his city or other people that he may
4:50
Speaker 1: have met along his journey as a rapper. I feel
4:53
Speaker 1: like he's just gonna take a step back and be
4:55
Speaker 1: able to allow them some shine and him give his
4:58
Speaker 1: expertise to those people. Um to be able to become
5:02
Speaker 1: superstar rappers as well. That's what go ahead the baby.
5:07
Speaker 1: Well you mentioned the Megoes uh and uh. That's a
5:10
Speaker 1: great segue because Quevo shares an update on the Mego's
5:13
Speaker 1: next album, said it's arriving soon. Uh. Culture three guys,
5:20
Speaker 1: you dropped two singles. I think three gonna get here.
5:24
Speaker 1: Cuevo will make me call your phone bro. Actually real
5:28
Speaker 1: Actually I did see see Real Money. That's one of
5:30
Speaker 1: their managers, um outside of these at L streets, and
5:35
Speaker 1: he told me they were dropping soon too, So soon
5:38
Speaker 1: maybe first quarter. I don't know how they do. Yeah,
5:45
Speaker 1: he's just waiting. They're just waiting on the pandemic to
5:47
Speaker 1: ease up so that people can be outside and enjoy
5:50
Speaker 1: and get the full Culture three effect. That's what I'm
5:53
Speaker 1: thinking it is, you know, but shout out shout out
5:56
Speaker 1: to Quevo for that. Quebo at Martel collab on the
6:01
Speaker 1: holiday gifts that make Sure you guys gifts blue. Okay,
6:04
Speaker 1: the package is super dope. Um. I love that he
6:08
Speaker 1: kind of went left, you know what I'm saying, Like
6:11
Speaker 1: we a lot of us, a lot of the hip
6:13
Speaker 1: hoppers tend to drink something waiting on my Martell. Oh yeah,
6:18
Speaker 1: it's already way, it's already under way. I mean the
6:22
Speaker 1: holiday is Friday, there it is. He's about to say
6:25
Speaker 1: crap my hill before Friday or he said yes me
6:34
Speaker 1: something now like that. Don't like that? Okay, so I
6:41
Speaker 1: think he trying, and he trying. You sure, Martell, talk
6:46
Speaker 1: to me nice, Okay, don't do it all right, but
6:52
Speaker 1: now I shout up to to me goes. I do
6:54
Speaker 1: think that another album would be really good, and I
6:56
Speaker 1: think I think was a good point that maybe they
6:59
Speaker 1: are on the world to open up, because I think
7:03
Speaker 1: some artists need to be out in the streets. I
7:07
Speaker 1: think some artists need to be performing in front of
7:10
Speaker 1: the audience to continuously, you know, touch base with them.
7:13
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of artists flourished during the pandemic
7:16
Speaker 1: without having to be outside. But I do think that
7:19
Speaker 1: the Medos would benefit the most from being able to
7:22
Speaker 1: actually tour. Yeah, and how exciting is it for when
7:25
Speaker 1: the when the country opens back up them to just
7:28
Speaker 1: come out booming, you know what every evant like. You know,
7:31
Speaker 1: they already have their project together and ready I need
7:34
Speaker 1: a record, guys, I need a record. Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, yeah,
7:42
Speaker 1: go ahead. Well, speaking to celebrations, everybody coming to America

Speaker 1: to trailer just dropped March five. Are y'all ready, y'all
7:54
Speaker 1: fans are coming to America one already? I'm super ready.

8:46

8:51
Speaker 1: excited about it. Man. Uh. The movie drops March five

9:00
Speaker 1: I really can't wait um one time for the Lakers

13:51
Speaker 1: That's that's a sexy little shoe. Okay, the varsity red,

13:58
Speaker 1: gonna apply for this si ton of don't apply for
14:00
Speaker 1: the PPP loans. I'm talking about the six hundreds. Do
14:03
Speaker 1: not apply for the p p P loans six hundred
14:09
Speaker 1: when the six hundred you can probably get you about
14:11
Speaker 1: two in them shoes that you mentioned, that's the retail. Yeah,
14:18
Speaker 1: but you know, Donald Trump uh said he ain't gonna
14:22
Speaker 1: sign that bill. He thinks thousand dollars. I am asking
14:26
Speaker 1: Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low
14:30
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars to two thousand dollars or four thousand
14:35
Speaker 1: dollars for a couple. I'm also asking Congress to immediately
14:39
Speaker 1: get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation. Yeah, like,
14:44
Speaker 1: on my way out the door, after shipping on y'all
14:47
Speaker 1: this whole damn time, I'm gonna go ahead and agree that.
14:51
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say two thousand certain that not what they
14:54
Speaker 1: asked you for months ago? Is that not what they
14:58
Speaker 1: asked for months ago? Don't come out the gate trying
15:01
Speaker 1: to act like you give a funk and you want
15:04
Speaker 1: to do this for us. Now, don't do that because
15:07
Speaker 1: you've been sitting on this ship. They had been waiting
15:10
Speaker 1: on you for months to say what you wanted. To
15:13
Speaker 1: look at the numbers of how many people are unemployed,
15:16
Speaker 1: to look at the numbers of people that have gotten evicted,
15:19
Speaker 1: like people that have lost for health care. Two thousand dollars,
15:24
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yes, that is better than six hundred dollars,
15:27
Speaker 1: But they are so out of touch with reality. How
15:31
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay your landlords six hundred dollars, a thousand dollars,
15:35
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars after being backed up for four five,
15:39
Speaker 1: six months. How how are you gonna put a big
15:43
Speaker 1: aspire out with a little water gun. Come on, do
15:47
Speaker 1: better than that. I'm sorry. There should have been some
15:49
Speaker 1: relief for the American citizens every single month that people
15:54
Speaker 1: had to be at home unemployed or they lost their
15:58
Speaker 1: unemployment benefits, whatever the case was. Like, this is ridiculous.
16:03
Speaker 1: Essential workers should have been getting paid extra from the top.
16:08
Speaker 1: They should have been given healthcare like all of the
16:11
Speaker 1: essential workers who didn't have it should have been given
16:14
Speaker 1: it at the very beginning of this pandemic. I think
16:17
Speaker 1: it is very backwards, disgusting and embarrassing and lazy how
16:22
Speaker 1: the administration handled the pandemic, and it shows a lack
16:25
Speaker 1: of compassion. Well with Trump's demand of two thousand dollars
16:30
Speaker 1: stimulus check. The Democrats are ready to bring this to
16:33
Speaker 1: the floor this week, and they're trying to put the
16:36
Speaker 1: pressure on Mitch McConnell, you know, like, let's do this.
16:39
Speaker 1: It's up to you, alright, Moving right along, so solo,
16:42
Speaker 1: any updates with Ethycopia and what's going on over there.
16:46
Speaker 1: So I'll give you guys a really quick update because
16:48
Speaker 1: not much has changed outside of the situation actually getting worse.
16:53
Speaker 1: There are more people dying in the streets, more people
16:58
Speaker 1: are seeking refuge is Sudan, which has now closed the
17:01
Speaker 1: borders UM between Sudan and Ethiopia. UM. They are still
17:06
Speaker 1: accepting refugees, but I don't think that they're having uh
17:11
Speaker 1: as easy of a time getting to the camps as
17:14
Speaker 1: they were prior to the borders being closed. UM. Eritrean
17:18
Speaker 1: troops have moved into Ethiopia as well. They are a
17:22
Speaker 1: part of what's going on unfortunately, although I do want
17:26
Speaker 1: to say I have a lot of Eritrean friends who
17:30
Speaker 1: do not agree with what is going on. You know
17:33
Speaker 1: when when if you know the history of Eritrea and
17:36
Speaker 1: how their government is run, it is the dictatorship Ethiopia.
17:41
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Eritrea hasn't voted in decades. They haven't been
17:45
Speaker 1: given their their lawful right to vote in decades. So
17:49
Speaker 1: I think Eritrean citizens really understand what the Tipwrye region
17:54
Speaker 1: of Ethiopia is going through. So shout out to everyone
17:57
Speaker 1: who has shown support UM and to those those who
18:00
Speaker 1: haven't spoken up. You know, your your silence speaks volumes
18:04
Speaker 1: and and and it just it's it's it shows, it's
18:09
Speaker 1: it's speaks volumes. But I have yet to speak to
18:12
Speaker 1: my mother. I still do not know where she is.
18:14
Speaker 1: There's still a communication blackout in the area that she's in.
18:18
Speaker 1: There has been no humanitarian aid allowed in the region.
18:22
Speaker 1: So anyone who was forced to leave their homes without
18:26
Speaker 1: money or anything like that, they are literally somewhere trying
18:30
Speaker 1: to spend for themselves. Um. I did speak to my
18:33
Speaker 1: father the other day, who is actually in the capital,
18:37
Speaker 1: and even though he is okay, he is outside of
18:40
Speaker 1: that region. Because of his ethnic background, he is a target. Um.
18:46
Speaker 1: So he's you know, landlow as much as possible, staying cool, uh,
18:51
Speaker 1: staying out of the way. But we do need more attention,
18:56
Speaker 1: We need a lot more awareness. We need help, We
19:00
Speaker 1: need the other We need other international countries to step
19:04
Speaker 1: in and stop this because it is a humanitarian concern.
19:08
Speaker 1: If this was an issue that the Ethiopian government had
19:12
Speaker 1: with the tp Left organization, then what people are saying
19:17
Speaker 1: is go for the TPL left, stop attacking the citizens
19:21
Speaker 1: and and leaving them with no access to their money.
19:25
Speaker 1: Medicines I'm talking about hospitals have been deserted because they
19:28
Speaker 1: were bombs and and patients were there. There are stories
19:32
Speaker 1: now finally coming out of what's going on with some
19:35
Speaker 1: people and how some people have lost their lives because
19:37
Speaker 1: again there's no media coverage allowed, so we we only
19:41
Speaker 1: know what they're putting out um and with no communication,
19:47
Speaker 1: it's it's difficult. So we are going to continue to
19:50
Speaker 1: pray for Ethiopia. I need you guys to check out
19:52
Speaker 1: hashtag stop war on tip rye, hashtag stop Abby. You
19:57
Speaker 1: can definitely DM me at Underscore, Sue Solo s U
20:01
Speaker 1: s O l O and I am wasn't happy to

Speaker 1: get you guys some links, uh, you know, to get
20:06
Speaker 1: you some information and also how you can help. But
20:09
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. Let's be about it, and it's
20:12
Speaker 1: Black lives matter. That means that all black lives matter
20:15
Speaker 1: around the world. So let's still a weekend. I know
20:18
Speaker 1: that's hard for you to talk about that. Yeah, it
20:23
Speaker 1: is so draining, just you know, because the not knowing
20:26
Speaker 1: part makes you think everything, you think of all the
20:29
Speaker 1: possibilities that it could be, you know, and then of
20:31
Speaker 1: course when you're watching you know, videos, online of of
20:35
Speaker 1: refugees or different people being interviewed, and and you're actually
20:39
Speaker 1: watching these videos and looking at these visitors and looking
20:43
Speaker 1: for your family just in case they're there. Is gut wrenching.
20:47
Speaker 1: And when I tell you, I have been so low
20:50
Speaker 1: on energy the last three three four days. At this point,
20:53
Speaker 1: I just think it's all catching up. But UM, the
20:56
Speaker 1: work continues. We're gonna continue to bring awareness until we
21:00
Speaker 1: can bring peace, and that's just what it is. Prayers
21:03
Speaker 1: up man. I'm glad that you were at least able
21:05
Speaker 1: to speak to your father and to know that he
21:08
Speaker 1: was okay. And he's out there as well as your mother,
21:12
Speaker 1: but not in the same place. But hopefully, UH, there
21:16
Speaker 1: can be you know, somehow, some way, maybe he can
21:19
Speaker 1: find her, or they go cross paths or something. UM,
21:23
Speaker 1: just praying for that. We have to make sure we
21:27
Speaker 1: do our due diligence and report that, so thank you
21:30
Speaker 1: for that. Updates to UH, We'll be back with more
21:33
Speaker 1: of the ball Alert Show. We'll be right back with
21:36
Speaker 1: more of the Baller Alert Show. Message I is time
21:44
Speaker 1: for Baller mail. I'm dming you from a fake account
21:50
Speaker 1: because you know me, okay, I'm an industry female back
21:54
Speaker 1: and forth between Houston and Atlanta. I'm finding it hard
21:57
Speaker 1: to keep a man who isn't intimidated by my job
22:00
Speaker 1: in the industry. I am constantly around Make A Big celebrities,
22:04
Speaker 1: and I had to deal with them on the regular.
22:07
Speaker 1: My most recent man decided to fall back from the
22:09
Speaker 1: relationship because he said it was too much to deal with.
22:12
Speaker 1: He worked a very corporate job, set schedule off weekends,
22:17
Speaker 1: whereas my schedule isn't set at all. I work around
22:20
Speaker 1: the clock and whenever I get a very important call.
22:24
Speaker 1: I've dated within the industry too, but that didn't work
22:27
Speaker 1: either because we never had time for each other. What's
22:30
Speaker 1: a hard working woman to do? M hmm, well, let's
22:33
Speaker 1: head baby girl. There there's a term my grandma used
22:38
Speaker 1: to say, you make time for what you want. Okay. Now,
22:43
Speaker 1: I didn't understand that until I met a woman to
22:47
Speaker 1: put me in the right mental framework. Okay, you got
22:51
Speaker 1: to set boundaries around your life. Back, Okay, you need
22:54
Speaker 1: to set boundaries. So I'll give you a small example.
22:59
Speaker 1: I'd like to say Tanisha because that's the name of
23:02
Speaker 1: my wife. So if you hear the word tenisia, that's
23:04
Speaker 1: me speaking on my soul. Nat so me and Tnisia
23:08
Speaker 1: had to sit down and I said, hey, baby, you
23:10
Speaker 1: know I want to spend time with you. I want
23:12
Speaker 1: to still date you, you know, even though we are married. Um,
23:16
Speaker 1: what can I do? We came up to agreement. Every
23:19
Speaker 1: other Saturday is date night. My phone is on solid.
23:23
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, she has my phone. And on Sundays
23:27
Speaker 1: I don't do a damn thing, even though Sunday in
23:30
Speaker 1: Atlanta is the most important day in Atlanta. So you
23:34
Speaker 1: gotta set boundaries. Now. I don't know how that's gonna
23:37
Speaker 1: work for you, but if you don't, your love life,
23:41
Speaker 1: your love life is gonna fall to the wayside. Now.
23:43
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to be loved by somebody,
23:47
Speaker 1: but if you do, I wish that to happen. If
23:50
Speaker 1: I was you, I would start sending boundaries around. You know, hey,
23:54
Speaker 1: on x y Z, I'm going out of town for
23:57
Speaker 1: x y Z. Or if you find another situation ration
24:00
Speaker 1: you guys communicate on making sure you date each other.
24:04
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people that get in relationships
24:06
Speaker 1: forget to date each other. And we have calendars. In
24:10
Speaker 1: my eyes are calendars. We got uh Texas reminders and
24:14
Speaker 1: everything going on. So I just think, Um, that's a job.
24:17
Speaker 1: It's a job being a relationship. So if you're not
24:19
Speaker 1: prepared to handle what comes with the job of a relationship,
24:24
Speaker 1: then you shouldn't be in a relationship. So I think,
24:26
Speaker 1: right now and enjoy being single, Uh, focus on yourself,
24:31
Speaker 1: and then when you find another situation. I think, if
24:34
Speaker 1: y'all can work together, create a dope schedule that works
24:38
Speaker 1: out for the both people, you gonna have to shut down. You.
24:40
Speaker 1: You can't make all the money and then not be
24:43
Speaker 1: happy in a relationship. You're gonna have to make sure
24:46
Speaker 1: that relationship. Uh, you know what I'm saying. Blossoms and booms,
24:49
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's gonna be some
24:51
Speaker 1: time where you got have to tell some people know
24:54
Speaker 1: so I do it all the time. I'm pretty sure
24:57
Speaker 1: you're probably not used to that because that yes, eat
25:00
Speaker 1: wools a bag and I'm talking about not a lutie
25:03
Speaker 1: bounds about a large bag. So I'm talking about money.
25:06
Speaker 1: So sometimes you have to say no, you know what
25:09
Speaker 1: I'm saying, And it's gonna be yes over here, gonna
25:13
Speaker 1: be a way more than yes is less nose. I
25:16
Speaker 1: mean unless yes is over here because you know what
25:19
Speaker 1: I'm saying, what's more important to you now? The money
25:23
Speaker 1: is more important all over there. Just know this family
25:28
Speaker 1: and lifestyle and being with somebody that ain't gonna be
25:32
Speaker 1: what you wanted to be. So I think you need
25:35
Speaker 1: to decide. I think you need to put some boundaries
25:38
Speaker 1: in place. And if you and you have to bude
25:40
Speaker 1: by those boundaries, don't you know what I'm saying. Set
25:42
Speaker 1: boundaries in place, and then uh, Kanye West calls you,
25:47
Speaker 1: and then you'd be like, all right, baby, I know
25:48
Speaker 1: we were just going to go out, but we can't.
25:51
Speaker 1: I gotta go to Kanye West. You don't give a
25:53
Speaker 1: damn about no Kanye West. He won't his tie. And
25:57
Speaker 1: it's how ironic is it? A lay is d M
26:01
Speaker 1: is talking to me about about her man wanted to
26:04
Speaker 1: spend time with her when it's usually the opposite. Damn,
26:11
Speaker 1: Ladies got jobs. You know what I'm saying, Dope, that's dope,
26:15
Speaker 1: But hey, what you want what you wanna do? Now?
26:17
Speaker 1: But but but you're but wait where You're absolutely right.
26:21
Speaker 1: People make time for what they want to make time for.
26:24
Speaker 1: That is the gym and this whole thing, absolutely right.
26:28
Speaker 1: We gotta figure it out I just think, you know,
26:31
Speaker 1: if I can say one last thing, I think, uh,
26:35
Speaker 1: we always chase our goals. We you know, and you
26:38
Speaker 1: seem like a very gold driven person. But one thing
26:42
Speaker 1: my grandma always told me, this is what kept me
26:45
Speaker 1: grounded and humble. Don't chase that dream so hard that
26:48
Speaker 1: you lose your family in the process. Like you'll you'll
26:52
Speaker 1: be in that tunnel vision and then sometimes you'll forget
26:56
Speaker 1: that you have friends and family around you that sometimes
26:59
Speaker 1: you need to lean on. You know what I'm saying.
27:02
Speaker 1: And I can necessarily destroy a lot of the um
27:08
Speaker 1: dope relationships that you probably you know, push to the
27:11
Speaker 1: side because oh, well, you know what, I don't need
27:15
Speaker 1: him anywhere. I'm men go get this money. That should cool,
27:17
Speaker 1: but you can get but so much, so many things
27:20
Speaker 1: you can buy, but so many things without you being like,
27:22
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not having think about it. That's
27:26
Speaker 1: all I got. Very well, said sir once again on
27:30
Speaker 1: Baller mail. Send your problem, the problems, then your situation
27:38
Speaker 1: ships at Ferrari. I say, problems that you can talk
27:41
Speaker 1: about every day, not just relationships. You talk about advice
27:44
Speaker 1: across the board. I haven't been through a lot what
27:47
Speaker 1: love man yeah at Ferrari Simmons. If you need any
27:51
Speaker 1: type of relationship advice, uh, situation, ship advice, job advice,
27:55
Speaker 1: whatever you think, I'm just gonna give you a honest answer.
27:58
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give you what I think. And I
28:00
Speaker 1: actually don't like giving advice. But what I try to
28:03
Speaker 1: do is, um, you know your perspective. Okay, Well you
28:09

28:13
Speaker 1: bag of free bands? Rory, Um, I don't have you know,

Speaker 1: don't have any free bands right now. I've kind of
28:24
Speaker 1: been on my on my on my motivational vibes ladies.
28:27
Speaker 1: So I just think, Um, what I want to give
28:30
Speaker 1: everybody today is to live in your purpose. Man. I
28:32
Speaker 1: think a lot of times people when you look around,
28:36
Speaker 1: challenge everybody who's listening to me right now to when
28:38
Speaker 1: you go out, pay attention to everybody, Pay attention to
28:42
Speaker 1: your surrounds a little bit more. Be a little bit more,
28:45
Speaker 1: uh attentive to what people are doing when they're driving
28:48
Speaker 1: their car. A lot of people be stressed out, a
28:50
Speaker 1: lot of people be upset by, people are mad, a
28:52
Speaker 1: lot of people are got a lot going on, a
28:54
Speaker 1: lot of people have are discouraged and you can see
28:58
Speaker 1: it on they face when they're driving, when are on
29:00
Speaker 1: the phone. And I was at this red lfe and
29:02
Speaker 1: this girl was cussing somebody out on the phone. I
29:05
Speaker 1: was like, damn, she's in a bad mood, you know.
29:08
Speaker 1: And don't think it's just you going through the bs.
29:12
Speaker 1: You feel me. Don't think it's just you that got issues.
29:14
Speaker 1: Don't think it's just you that got money issues. It's
29:17
Speaker 1: people with money that got money issues. There's people with
29:20
Speaker 1: no money that got money issues. It's just a different
29:22
Speaker 1: set of issues. So I would challenge everybody to living
29:25
Speaker 1: your purpose because that brings some type of happiness to you.
29:28
Speaker 1: It gives you a great mental state of mind. Um,
29:32
Speaker 1: and if you start late, it's okay. You don't think
29:35
Speaker 1: that you can't find your purpose at forty five years old.
29:39
Speaker 1: You still can't do that. You still provide your purpose
29:42
Speaker 1: at six teams, whatever age it is. So I challenge
29:45
Speaker 1: you to look around your surroundings and pay attention to
29:47
Speaker 1: what's going on, and be a little bit more humble
29:51
Speaker 1: to your situations because it could always be worse. Be running,
