  Speaker 1: After this trip, I revisited the idea of when you have young children, right All inclusive result is the greatest thing ever invented, because these little children is the kings and queens of Sipa, coke and Puedong.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Imagine if he was paying for every drink or paying for every meal, when there's is one ton wastage in these places.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And boy, let's put this, this fellow named Zachary eat every single thing inside.

• 19:01
  Speaker 1: He's eaten two courses for every meal and then pulling up a whole dessert plate to go and eat every single day.

• 19:12
  Speaker 1: He overdid it, you overdo.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: He really went extable.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: But the instead of resort called Grand Palladium in Punta Cana.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I stayed at a Grand Palladium before in Jamaica.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: My sister stayed there too and it was really nice.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: The rooms are all good and the I don't remember was the food situation in Jamaica, which mean it probably was middle of the road.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: It wasn't memorable but it wasn't bad enough for me to remember.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I do and I know my sister sitting Punta Cana in this resort as well, in the Grand Palladium, and that result has about 1500 rooms, is like four resort in one.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: And At what?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: 1500?
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: No, this, I want to tell you that my sister's surname is cash.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Right, that's because she and her husband have loud cash.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: It's not a joke.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: What?
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Listen, money like this, money like rain, you know me Having.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: They have it.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: So they are upscale travelers.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: So when she tell me this is a place, there's a thing, there's a book, there's a link, and I never heard a word link so much in my life.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna link.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: There's a link for this.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I'll click link, click, link, pay.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: But again, I salute of organizing it, but I know they have.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: They have champagne taste and champagne pockets.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: So we went to this resort but they stayed there before me or I think is the adult only side of the resort.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: And then when we stay on the poor side, I mean the family's Sided the resort, because it's everybody and the family and children involved in thinking I could tell you this.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Listen, that place was hot, I don't know why it is went on with Grand Palladium during that trip.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: The food they had some restaurants you couldn't go to at all.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: There was one place open for lunch.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: It was in the open and it was very hot, very uncomfortable, way too much people coming through that dining place.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I had a food when he fooders when he first got there.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: We couldn't check in, of course, but they give us the bands and we could go and eat and all that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: So we went to eat and I'm gonna tell you something I think in.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: But this food is not good with this and nothing ain't saying good nothing.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: So I say I will make a hot dog.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: You know he's wicked Dominican Republicans is Vienna sausage.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: They make me Big, big Vienna sausage, I tell myself also.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: So that was that.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: That was a challenge.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: But we did find one resort, one restaurant in there which something was going wrong with one of the restaurants because everything was pretty bad.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: But it was one restaurant called last tourist is a little hike.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Right to get it because the resort is sprawling.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Picture 1500 rooms, all of them villas right, is not a building I talk about.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yet I walk far to get to different places.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Like one morning I walk to get to the gym and I too, tired to work out when I reach the place to beg.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: It was, it was just huge, but it was one restaurant called last tourist.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I was really really good and the food, the food, the same food as the other place, no, but like they figure out how to cook it down in the last tourist side, like when them walk, real fire.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: The cooking skills is improved because you walk on to the restaurant it was.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: It was pretty good.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: And we had some other experiences.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: We did our family photo shoot for the first time.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: So my sister again for organizing all that.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: We went to a Mountain resort what is called that we end up do zip lining, is a place where you could go and do zip line and Drive them little doing buggy through the bush and all these types of things, and you know I mean they organize a nice little to on.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: That in itself was a scary experience to me.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Listen, I don't want to song so sorry to who will be offended by this right including trend add-ins, but it's a certain things that I don't, I don't like to do in third world countries right now.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: You see, if your country, you see if your GDP is not above us with no month, I don't play certain games because the safety thing I can't take it.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: But all of we go in again, we go another family, remember the purpose of the trip, right?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: So, from a family standpoint, I joined this thing.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I joined this thing, right, I'm going on easy plan or want to tell you this, strap you up in all kind of thing.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: People who does the plan before my beating I sound like a fool, right, but I never do this and I fright now, frightened from on the ground, right, and they strap me up in our inner, in our harness.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Basically, now, what keeping me going here?
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Is I someone nice, hunting is 20 something years old, little 20s to, and looking small like teenagers.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I some little brother and take them small them is little brother and I know baby, I'm a mother, nephew, but my son I see in these fellas strap up to a nobody in eyes, the only man looking nervous.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I frightened like hell because the tower you have to climb up on to do this thing, a big spiral step, I don't know, like spiral step early spiral step.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: This frightened me and I had a climb upon this tour to do this thing, the tour Blowing any breeze.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I don't starting to feel Third world standards already.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I see this is very, very, very, very this at the tower, in secure the tower and past the Oshak, it's in it.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, I've gone up on this thing.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: You know it's scary.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: It passes when you reach up to the part where they have to hook you onto the zip line.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: It's a two-step them and make them.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Step out a play board.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: A man knock up that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: It looked like somebody now finish, make that While we was walking up the spiral step.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: So you had a stand up on these two-piece of play board.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Step now for them to hook you onto the top of the zip line.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And then many have no gates or nothing.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: It's just a open on a banister, open in a railing where you're hooking up to these and I thinking, but this couldn't pass the safety act, this couldn't be right.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Why don't put something where, until I hook up to a line, you have a gate or something preventing me?
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Because when I, when you hook me up there, I what something over the week that was scary too right, I was watching, just just scrolling through my phone, when I was on downtime in a room, and I see shaka, his love on TV and just Just pass out.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: You see he losing Balance and then he lose consciousness and pass out and he thank God, shaka, good.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: So look to shaka.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, happy birthday to Latte P2 as we passing on that right, but you get a bad feeling.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: As we say, in terms of bad feeling, we don't have no medical condition.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: No, we are.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: We only know to medical condition, bad feeling and gas pain, right.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: So if you get a gas pain or a bad feeling and you, you lost consciousness, chaka fall forward, such a frightening thing to see.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: And he out, see is again.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: He see, just get a bloody nose and he, okay, went and guys checks, he good medically.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So suppose I good medically, like shock, I fit and strong and our athletes and our custom working longer was anything like shaka.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: But I go on up on these two playboard step now suppose I got bad feeling, suppose I got gas pain and I double over.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: It's 25 stories.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Don't I fall in?
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you put something there that have a kind of gate on Pornet?
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Catch me, catch me.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Why, frightened like hello, my knee shaking.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: But again I See my stepmother, she gone out.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: There's also little Christine.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I tell myself she'll be frightened.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I said one man frighteners my father know he got some back.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: And then what would the do?
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Is, when he say he ain't going again, I say, well, I can't go out there for company policy.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I would have said, well, it's the company policy of daddy, I can't go.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I can't know we can't go, that all of them went and there's some gone out there.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, I frightened like hell.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: But they hope more puny thing.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: And I'll say it was good.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I glad I experienced it.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I like, I like little trilogy zipline.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I'll be doing it again.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: But I have a bunch of countries that I will do it in again and they are called the G8 nations, the brick countries, whatever.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Not me again, not me again.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I enable is too much of a is too much, it's a little too scary for me.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we did that.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: And even the second party tour was like a Doon buggy thing.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Everybody should try that.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: That is actually a little bit fun to do.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Right, because the the doon buggy is again the man who make me play board.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Step, make them doon buggy.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: You could see the welder top by hand.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: The doon buggy we driving is a one of one them and buy a moto in price mat and weld everything around it and buy some time on it because the buggy and them rough and the it's a lot of road driving and thing.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Right, I don't like driving them.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: But so I was numb to enthused about driving anything until I jump in a car and I realize I In the passenger seat, my wife in the back seat, my father in the back seat behind me, because the buggy holding four people and the driver is my little niece, a Young lady by the name of Asia.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: No again, this is.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: This is problematic for me because I know this child, a little little child, she a baby or she driving me.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: But I say what is the worst could happen?
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: What is the worst could happen?
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: This is a guided tour.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: One of the man make the doon buggy, the man who make you do buggy driving in front, is about 10 cars Going.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I say what is the worst that could happen?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Well, brother, the worst happened because Asia machine X top board and laughing If every hole it have with mud she is hitting that mud hard and splashing up that mud on everybody.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I have contacts in my eye, I can see.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I'm watching back now and then I said the first thing.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: The next thing I saw this study is where is my child?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Because Asia, I know I in my last moments and I don't, I can't remember who is Zachary Godfather or the Godmother and I like that, but I know me and Stacy dead in this, doing buggy with dead Asia is trying to kill.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: We should try to make sure that we go down and them.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: So this live and you saw this dead.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: So I started to say, well, where's my son?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Let me just make eye contact with him for one last time, only to make eye contact with this man in a buggy foot up and her sister, who is even younger than her.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Salute to Jada, she is driving the next.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I don't like it and wise words are all wrong the last week, but everything was safe, everything was good.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something Brain law, he buggy got flat.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: That's a.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: That's a change.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: It higher than he buggy cast.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: That they're the change you will buggy.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Then we buggy shot down.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: It cast that.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Listen, that man who the Kyrie and not always stressed out about train, the buggy Cast that.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I'll.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something feel our makeup right.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: We had to leave to treat buggy, don't any bush, because it cast that.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: This is far from where we do these.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: A planning, alright, a good drive down the road and the man just put other people and other people buggy and he jumped on the back of my the buggy he was driving.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: He jumped on the back of that and he tell me you drive.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: So he holding on to the back of that for clean down any murders the funniest thing ever see.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: But when we drive and back to the thing, I conscious of the fact that this man I Don't want him for and he telling me, I don't know if he telling me go or stop, or like the signals in the American Republic, kind of off, because in Trinidad If you want a man stop, you say stop, stop, stop.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: But if you want a man slow down, your kind of your kind of game, the signals off.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Because when he telling me slow down, I speed enough, when he's a mistop, I gone, I did, it was all over the place.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: And here this friend, when we are in the last climb to go up the hill to reach back to the, the spot where we do this applied, I am extabord because it's a little mash gas all the way down to go uphill and Don't match no brakes which mean these thing I had too much a horsepower.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm machine and the middle of the hill where I could see the home stretch, this buggy, a moving.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: So I'm machine and this thing making one to the north.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna do?
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: That man take a little butler like bleach thing with gas in it and pour anything while with the but what he pointed, gas is much again, much again, oh, much again, oh, and I mash and we come up the hill.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I tell you, listen, I want to go to the brick nations and have these types of experiences.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: And then they carry, starting.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: They said they say it's a specially made brew of liquor that we to drink, while Mama Wana, they said the mama Wana, good for the boy.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: They say when you drink mama Wana, you make mama Wana and the other kind of sweet talk and thing.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: And that is when I realized, when we went to another souvenir shop, that my I Thoughts about the country like it's a lot of misconceptions, as is the case usually right, because if you've never been somewhere and you read about places is just like people saying trend that I do much a crime, I don't want to come here and them kind of thing.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: But when you go to a place you see what the reality of the places and I could tell you that like it's a lot of Haitians living Dominican Republic and I'm not saying living like, looking like asylum seekers or that they integrated into the society so and happy to be there and everything.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: So my, my, my this day, not this like for the country, based on maybe a couple BBC stories and stuff, I start questioning, questioning it immediately.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: So I'm happy I went so I could see some of the reality idea.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I'll definitely go back.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I want to see what.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I want to see more the country and going into want to eat food out of a glass case would fly to Let me see what the real food in the country is like.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: But we gone there as part of the tasting for the mama Wana boy, the mama one and doing one thing that mama one and no alcohol, the damn thing tasting like cat tracks.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: But I see people taking on party culture.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: So we, we enjoy it.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: We enjoy it as a family.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: It was a bunch of special moments and extremely memorable things that happened through the whole trip and like I keep telling, I keep telling daddy and everybody who was there, the, the things that memorable, right, and that we'll talk about and laugh about for many, many years to come, are usually the things that go wrong.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you're planning something and when you're planning as a master says our plan, she get this whole thing together.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: My little brother, stefan, salute to him.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: This man is, this man is a planner.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: When we any girl is like Genial is the manager of the family and Stefan is your road manager.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: You know any other artists.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: You have a manager who's do the bookends, everything, but you have somebody who's traveled with the artists now to make sure the artists good, they eat, they get everything on time, they've trans ground transport, all those things.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: That is what Stefan is.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Because Stefan money reached a day after he done make me wait Whole day to get a room.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I changed three room in the first three days because the first room of starting my system and I hand the gap room become a foot in.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Good, but no problem with that.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: But it does swing in the door for the washroom for you.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Is that so hotel room?
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Right is our bathroom, but you ever watch the Cosby show and them Americans, it comes away between the living room and the kitchen.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I always used to be fascinated by the kind of door they used to put it, where they could just swing the door in and then the next person come and they swing the door and door swinging both way.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: That.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: That that's swinging both ways thing pause.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: So I I Would never imagine that the first time I see one of them doors in real life is the toilet door, the toilet door swinging both ways, I guess suppose I suppose it built room built for somebody in a wheelchair or somebody differently abled or the difference abilities.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: So it might make sense to do it like that.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: The bathroom, I know call, but but the problem is you show and drinks when, when Stacy done made the whole place flood out, the whole thing.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: We had to change rooms.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: When we change rooms now Late any night, we started a gas so a scent.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: If waking up I try to play like I ignore in the clothes my tight, like I was, because I don't want to change rooms again.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I tired but we had to change and third room was fine and everything we could see Grandpa, lady, amazon, older, like they just built a long time ago, you could see, is nice.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: The grounds is a very beautiful place and very scenic and a lot to do, a lot of facilities.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: But it's just built, it's just a little though.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: So the age on it showing time, time for them to start a refurbation, do over some rooms, and those types of things.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: But Stories like changing your room every three days, three rooms in three days, and stories like the doing buggy shut down.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: We had to bed in the river and call rain what we done, we couldn't even do the horseback riding those are the stories that tend to in there or in the way we went in this restaurant the food was bad.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody laugh about that.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a little brother.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: He just start the.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I mean we sit on the wrong table and this man may know where to eat must be one of them Vienna sausage hot dog.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: He must be by to her and he started choking.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Nobody in realize he could be gonna be gone.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: We see him late and you know those types of stories, as much as they might be seen as bad any moment, or seen as the those what he first, things that we could laugh at for years to come, and the stories that in view.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: So on the time, the system, personally, sorry, I take a half or two later I want to thank her personally for doing this because she created a lot of these stories that will endure as well.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: First, I want to say that the stairs in the cash household should be now deemed a public health hazard, because last couple years is John's and all brother for long list of heels and wheels coming on this Uphe and to suitcase one behind one in front and he's sliding all the way down to the basement and now, the night before the trip, generalist tumbling on the stairs and then clearly she hit her head because when she reaching the resort, everybody having a good time in now seeing each other for the first time in years, people now meeting each other because you know you might know each other well, who live abroad and them can't think.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: And then when I reach back to the first or the second room that we in I think this first room in I Get a call from a niece, jada, a FaceTime call to it.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: No, I see the phone ringing on this general call, man, facetime.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: So I answer the phone and I see video.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Is the hot daughter now saying Uncle Cory's where, where's my mom?
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I say I mean where mother, just me.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: The contrast between accents is a great.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: It's like where's my mom.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I say how, you mean where mother?
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Where, mean where mother you supposed to be any mother phone?
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we don't know where mommy is.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Well, boy, I say Lord, this girl organized the trip, everything in place, and now, well, stasis started, cry immediately.

• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Don't tell them, don't let, don't make them wise us to not happen Because term in panic mode.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Immediately this girl starts to cry.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: One time I say but let me look, let me find her.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: It's a big resort.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: She could be lost, she could be doing something else.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: If she don't have a phone, she can't call anybody else.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: This girl lost for about 20 hours with her walking around that resort.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Jump on some train that carrying her on the resort and lost like hell, don't know where she is.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Take it, take it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Take this into consideration, right, I've all of us who there, she's the only person who has been there before.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: And she lost like her.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Can't find her.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: No, so salute, absolutely.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, those are the stories that, stories that we'll tell forever and it was a real bonding experience for our family and we had a special moment as well.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: In the end, before again the Jack Warner and he could sure it was an opportunity for daddy to Close off the trip.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Say some nice words, you know.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I mean hear from your grand jury and everybody get a chance to say something about the trip and the and commit to the fact that it's now an annual trip.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: So next year go up 51 episode, because, well, one week, that all already.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: But they try to make me make a speech and take away all my podcast content and you dumb Rap them for you guys smarter than them, fellas and fellas, and go set me up with ice cream.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Soon, I have my item to talk about here.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: They go make me make a speech there.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: So that was that.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: And now, and we back, we back, we back.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I can't, I cannot guarantee or commit to not traveling again and missing another episode.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I cannot guarantee it.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: But we here, we here, we here that I think I need a next vacation because Stefan is a man waking me up early.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Stefan, say what time are they plans to have breakfast around 6, 30?
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: , what you know, you know what's, you know what's he meaning a vacation.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: But so maybe I need another vacation.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I'd like like just to relax and kick back.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: But from vacation to emancipation, I saw emancipation celebrations going on this week.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I was too tired after still, man relaxed early and I mean I said I don't relax something.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I never went to emancipation Village and never watch a emancipation parade.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: None of them types of things, you know.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I mean I, I, I'm, I don't know if, um, I don't know if that brings my Africanness into question or what it does, but I know that is also a special time.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: My mother is a African queen, when it's just a bunch of African clothes and think I can't miss it.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: But she had all on vacation, you know, I mean.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: So Emancipation celebrations, one of the things that so the auto, auto all the time.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: I mean there's a few things happening, right?
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Should I start with this serious stuff first?
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Let me, let me make a change and start with something serious first.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Right, I saw the I'm gonna butcher this, right?
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: So maybe I should just read and not try to talk from the top of my head.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: For a change From TTT.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister, dr Kid Roller received a courtesy call from his Majesty, or two, four or say two, two.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: The second, the Assanta Henny, at the diplomatic center since then, today that was our only 30 foods.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: He came in, came in the country.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: So he's the head of the Ashanti tribe, right?
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: His royal majesty is the guest of honor this year's Emancipation Day celebrations.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Hey, and turn down to the minister.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Carry come, foreign affairs Minister, carry come, minister of foreign and carry come affairs senator Dr Amory Brown, minister of energy and industries, minister in the office of prime minister, stuart young and Randall Mitchell, whoever he is, sport and all that Shampoo Kujo, whichever one them is, who also represented at the meeting.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: So I saw, I saw him come in and and and hosted for Emancipation.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I find it was a good look.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know nothing about the diplomatic relations.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I'm never the place to come to for the serious part of the story.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I Always looking at the light outside of things.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: So me know what they talk about, me know it had to talk about where the deals are made and so on.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: What I know is that it was an interesting thing to see the contrast between his delegation and Rollers delegation, right?
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: So, as they say, rollers delegation was aemary brown.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Who sort of dressing limit?
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Let me call it Trinidadian version of Emancipation garb, because I know I'm not sure what is African where, and you know I never buy that cheeky and all of them kind of thing.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: It make me wonder how brainwashed I really am, because I like my little Polo jersey.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: As you might know, I'm a jeans.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I don't do much in style and things either polo or T-shirt, and Apollo is, when I went to work at t-shirts when I see this thing simple, but maybe I will dashiki and I'll what is called the rest of the thing that they were in, but he was the only one who was wearing anything like that, and Randall Mitchell, and still young, in suit and tie, along with with the doctor, only shampoo, kujo, shampoo Kujo.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: High heels and a scared kind of thing.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: And I mean what she was wearing is African.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Let me get you benefited, though, because yellow, green and red.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's African inspired, but the members of the Royal delegation from the Ashanti tribe had on and I hope you see it by now.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: If you didn't see it, just Google it, right, just Google Raleigh Trend Daddy Mancipation, you'll see the I'm trying not to say the word outfit right, but I'm not a smart man so whatever they was wearing, I don't want to be disrespectful, but it different, it unique it's.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: In other words, when you see, when you see this crew pull up, you're going to have little doubt that they are where they come from.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: You're going to narrow it down fast to say that these people are African and you know, one of the funny things about the emancipation and all the way we treat it is that we talk about it as being a separation and a freedom and so on, and sometimes I wonder about celebrating the freedom that we were given rather than embracing the freedom that we took, because we don't take some of these freedoms.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: You know, we still feel that the parliament must look a certain way.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: I always remember Jared Yeatming coming in.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: What he said was formal Chinese wear and having issues in parliament.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: They say he looking, he looking not.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say informal, but he not looking formally dressed, because we still see formally dressed as a double breasted suit with a tie or a tuxedo and a hard, hard, hard shoe.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: If they're taking hot in your foot, you can't wait for too long.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: When this, this man and his members, the king of the Ashanti tribe them, fellows, on them, in slipper.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: These slipper would be selling on the drag.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: We dragged them bundled and there was a I can tell you this, right, there was a time when we would have and I talk, tell me if I wrong right, I talking on everybody's behalf because I don't want to put myself out there as the only person there was a time when, if you see people in this African wear that the king and his team was wearing, I try not to say tribes, should I say try If you see the tribal wear versus what role you're in them wearing, now, mentally it looks to me like they look distinguished, they look regal, they look different, they look like, look comfortable in their own skin, they take ownership of their own identity.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: And when you watch a random Michelin so with all due respect to randomity of young and and and and and Roli who in their suit, and even in Rihunal Dashi Gezing, I find we look kind of buffoonish, we look kind of it, it, it don't, it don't look good, we look less.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: You understand, and there would have been a time, you know, in my own lifetime, where the reverse would have been the truth, in terms of my mentality would have been listen, I will never, I mean to us.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: It next in my mentality is still like that, because I say in them fellows and them regal and thing, I mean I went, I went too much, too much too much happened there.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: And part of it for me is my perception of what is style, my perception of what is status, what will look good, what will be laughed at, what will be accepted and all those types of things.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: And not wearing no drag no, no, no, no, no.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Sandals I went, I know, in them and maybe if Gucci or you or Prada one of them had make it, maybe I would have considered and I say that to say that that is the injurious mentality.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: That is not.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: That's something that I had exploited myself, for we have to exploit it in ourselves.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Where those things matter.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Is it that we are afraid of our own identity or we losing our own ability to grasp what is ours versus what we still feel we need to aspire to be, which is British.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: They, rowley and them, look in this photo like they were the fitting more in the British parliament or the British system or culture than they would fit in in the African culture, which is his heritage, or even the Trindadian culture.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: And it makes me wonder if these people could come and represent for themselves.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: They look in comfort.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think they look feeling like if they put in on something like how Amy Brown, feeling like he's celebrating something to put on.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if I Google other pictures of them that they would be in very, very similar way.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if I get a chance to look in these fellow suitcase.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: It make me wonder, like what size of suitcase them is, move it, and how they iron some of these things right, I don't know anything, iron or what the whole situation was.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: They, they, they cool as ever.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: They should outside in a slipper.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: They want some kind of head man, one man on a cane that can fit in a suitcase.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: The man on a cane, he height, you know what I mean.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: And they cool with what they have.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: And I wonder sometimes like, okay, what is our identity as Trindad and Tobago If we had to identify how we look, how we dress, how we behave, how we what?
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: What royalty looks like to us or what dignity the dignitary should look like in our culture.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: It's our casual way, was our formal way.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: We I don't know if you've ever developed it.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: I think we just envelope ourselves into those who had captured us.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: That makes sense, and I'm not sure if the solution or the the freedom comes from identifying what is being done by the Ashanti tribe and others in Africa and we're in what they were or not sure if it comes in one day a year putting on something that we buy, somewhere that makes us feel more African, and not knocking any of them out, genuinely asking questions like we're not sure, because what I know is I I personally further from it than many people who I talk with here because I know when something right and maybe that will change.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe one day you'll see my company podcast here and I will tell all you, for those of you who's listening and when you're on YouTube, when I come out and how they call it.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: I think they were in here the Hasi-Kasi I will be.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I will learn also.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: You can come and watch me.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean and from then on I went nothing else, but for now it's a polo and I'll show you what plans could do it for me as well.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: We've never clearly defined what it is and I saw a solution my guy, damian Goofy Evans.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Right, I saw Goofy point out something which, to be honest with you, I wasn't paying attention to her.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I know I was abroad, but I wasn't paying attention to it at all.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Goofy say in our buildings, in our regular government services that we pay taxes to receive, right, all the government services that we can access are paid for with the taxes that they take from my salary every month, 25% of it and about 20% when your company make money too, and about 1% of whatever you make any green front-end business levy and everything.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: All those when the men collect them taxes on things.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: The services that we receive as a country and the buildings we go to access those services come from those funds that we pull together.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Right, and I cannot go dressed the way King the King come here, but I was going to say King Jeffrey Jaffer, you remember he and all have on-us to the land saying this man, I'm nothing Western on right.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: So I think Goofy raised a good question here you stopping us from coming in our own country to receive services that we pay for because we have one slipper.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: I tell my story too much times about my walking boots when I couldn't get into the border in Land Revenue.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: You're telling the woman that they cannot come in there with their shoulder off.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: They have none of them who had two shoulder in.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: This whole crew, this whole tribe or this whole team, all these dignitaries who come from the Ashanti tribe, everybody have a shoulder outside right and they welcomed into the prime minister's residence, into every part of the.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Everywhere that they went that honored them was several government buildings, including the prime minister residence, which is right.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Everybody.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Toes is exposed.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean Toes is exposed.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Everything is outside.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: And if I was to go, it doesn't matter what business I run or what I do, or what kind of much podcast I do, how much I lecture, it doesn't matter how, what status I've achieved it.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I cannot go into a government building in that slipper.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: I cannot go any prime minister's residence in that slipper.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Or to say it like this right, let's say, when this podcast get wildly famous and we do great works and so on and we get national recognition, I can't go to collect my Trinity Cross or however they call it.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I can't go in a slipper and if I do it, people are going to say I'm so disrespectful of the award and I know respect for the thing and I always used to call him an Rourlas, and now I get award and he's like.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: We, I wonder sometimes what is our own view of ourselves?
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: And let me change that.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: I wonder sometimes what is my view of myself?
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: How do I measure my own world?
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: How do I measure my own identity, my own culture, my own heritage, my own upbringing?
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: How do I value it?
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Is it something that I value at all?
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Do I know what it is?
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I'm saying I to mean we, right, but I just want to personalize it because, again, I probably further from this than most of the people who might be listening to this, but it was just an interesting contrast to see.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: But I was glad that they were invited and they came.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: I saw some discussions about about the Ashanti tribe and some of their history as it relates to the original cross-Atlantic slave trade.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: But we can go into that now.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Right, we will just celebrate the fact that they were here.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I hope to see more of that.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I hope to see more of that outside emancipation time too, because I feel like there's more we could learn and gain from leaders like this, just in terms of the all sharing and our stories sharing our heritage, understanding theirs, and so on.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: There's more that we could gauge outside gain from it, outside of emancipation time, and if we continue to do it only at emancipation time, it feels like if we we put it on a show.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: And my last thing on this is I really want to see one of these days, right, I see Trudeau.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: They say Trudeau now separate, or Biden fall down again.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Or who run in England now Is Truss?
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: She resigned, what do you next?
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: One name the COVID party man.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: He get fired.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Who run in France?
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Sarkozy.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: One of the days come when one of these leaders from one of these countries, particularly the European colonizers, right, when they come here, I want to see rollers or camels or whoever in charge.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Next, I want to see them dress like this.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: And so let's come in my way.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: We could dress however the hell we want.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Probably should probably go off clothes and welcome them one day, but probably probably not Right.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Another thing that happened during emancipation I reading from the Express is a Savannah standoff, or there was something else I need to talk about here.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, so Savannah standoff, this was just before emancipation right.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: And there's another thing that was just passed by in this article I've found to be real interesting.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: It's right vendors who operate along this trip at the Queen's Park, savannah are refusing to move their stalls to another area of the Savannah to make way for upcoming emancipation celebrations.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: So when the men and the mother pass through in a nice little garb, regal, wear Wings man, and they want to move, consup man say they moving the army, they want the thing sell Right.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: So after the ministry of agriculture, land and fisheries agreed to allow them to use his strip of the Savannah opposite Junningham Avenue and to provide tower lights and platforms for their stalls.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: So what they were basically going to do is leave the Savannah the track free for the procession so that they could go across and use Junningham Avenue.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Now some masquerader go out and tell me because I don't know whether they say that I didn't cross the Savannah stage but don't they move when it's kind of all time anyway and they had to take one of the boots along the perimeter of the Savannah, even them big bands pass in trees of honor.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: It have no consup man and them kind of heading right next to it and no royal castle who is not.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Their journey course of the year has a boot or KFC or one of them, close to any rich stage and they set up a stand on all that and place for unlocals.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Don't they move usually by any of them?
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: They're refusing to move here.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Michael Williams, the head of the Association of Local Culinary Ambassadors, which represents the vendors, as called on the vendors to let good sense prevail.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: So look to you, michael Williams.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Back of the Ashanti Kingdom, the Asanteheni Otumfu Osei Tutu, the second Afghano, will be the guest of honor this year's celebrations being hosted by the Suras and Rites.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: We said that already.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Mancipation celebrations will come tomorrow morning when the X-rays of the Savannah we are standing on a Grand One vendor shouted.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Sharon Quinlan, owner of Sharon's Bacon Sharks, said on Tuesday the Ministry of Agriculture informed vendors that they had to be relocated for seven days.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: They said.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Vendors were given until noon to move.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: All the years we've been here during the emancipation we add to the emancipation village.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: I have no doubt about that, quinlan said.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: The Ministry initially suggested the vendors move their stalls to the Savannah entrance, close to TGI Fridays, but this was not feasible as that area becomes waterlogged after heavy rainfall.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: We visited there today as a pool.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Some of the vendors are here to cook and spot water and heat.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: No mix, quinlan said.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: The second suggestion was for vendors to use the Savannah space opposite Jenningham Avenue but this could not work as it did not fit over the forties stalls so they went back and forth for this for some time.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: More quotes from her.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: My thing is why do we have to move when we add to the celebrations?
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: For kind of an Independence Day, they ask us to move, but for emancipation we are usually allowed to stay.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Further quoted her saying what is the reason behind us moving?
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: I have respect for the man who is coming, who is a dignitary, but how are we hampering that?
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: What are these people going to do to pay the bills?
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: We need some place where it makes sense to be reasonable and fair.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: I want to get to the article that I see that I was standing out to.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's a different article.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: I read it in because I read somewhere that these people are using these spaces rent free, like they are allowed to use these spaces.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: So there is no rent that is paid for that food court in Savannah.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Speaking to the express via telephone last night, he expressed disappointment at the vendor's response.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: I believe this is.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that I have quoted her.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Let me read on Reasonable and fair.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Williams arrives soon after to inform the vendors of the ministry's final decision.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: He said he had earlier met with agriculture minister Kazim Hussain and director of the horticultural services division, gloria Brafit.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: He said that the ministry allowed the vendors to use the strip of Yisrava on opposite Agin Avenue.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: If they can all fit, they will let them use it.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: The left and right of the strip on the grassy area will provide modules and will also provide additional lighting.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: But the group of vendors loudly objecting, saying they could lose customers if the grassy areas become waterlogged and muddy.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: After back and forth to the vendors, williams eventually walked away from the group, I believe.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: When is Williams the man who is the union leader for them?
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure I have this right here.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Michael Williams is the head of the local.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: The association of local culinary ambassadors will represent the vendors.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Right, so Williams trying to let better sense prevail.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: But the balling at Williams.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: So Williams bust out.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Speaking to the express in a telephone interview last night, williams expressed the disappointment at the vendors response.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: He said we have to strike a compromise.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: This is government property.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: We are here every day and if they ask us for 2 or 3 days to move so that they can host something, then we have to let good sense prevail.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: In all fairness, we don't even pay our rent or use a fee for here.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: This is when you know you're living in the greatest country they ever create.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Did you know that these people wasn't paid?
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Is this?
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Am I the only person surprised by this?
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: These people are not paying no rent for these spaces.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Right, and this is the same thing I talked about in the Dominican Republic.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Right, in developing nations should I stop saying so?
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: We have a mentality that is crazy to me.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you go all over the place.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: I remember going forward a couple years ago.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: They have a farmers market and everything bubbling in the farmers market food.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: As we break the coin and the first thing we see is a big Trinidadian flag.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: So we from Trinidad, we just glad to see trinies in this part of the world.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: That go, seem to be a big thing.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: You know, it's only city center or anything like that.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: In our farmers market we see trinies.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: We say, hey, what do you have?
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: What do you have?
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: We come to.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: We now setting up Everybody else ready to sell, but then we now setting up just give you about half forward and it just shows you.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: It's just a mentality, it's a culture thing.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: This is why we have to have our own wear.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: You know we must have our own wear.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: We have our own tribal wear and our own traditional thing so that when you see that, you know you're going to be late.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: If you see a taxi driver with that, you know you're late.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: A pilot, you know you're late.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: It's just a mentality we have.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Because you place there for free, which is a bad idea in first place, because you see the idea behind freedom.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: I find it has a multi irresponsibility.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: It's come along with freedom to get people to think for free and they treat it anyhow.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: If you have to pay for it, you have a different mentality when you go there and a different type of person looking for that space or even in the same person sees themselves differently.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: If they're paying our rent and they have it, so you live in the rent free you're charging going market prices for your food.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: So it's not like if, because you rent free and you don't have that expense, you now charge much less for wings than another wings man who's selling on the avenue and and and and and have rent to pay, you charging the going rate.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Some of them have a branch in the food quarter and have taken other places where they might be paying our rent.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: I'm charging one price for the thing, so the consumer not benefiting from that.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's a great initiative because I've been there on a Sunday and I, like I feel like those are better solutions to crime than show them up and light up everybody and all them guys.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: I think those are better crime solutions than what being suggested in a lot of ways now.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: And if you, if you go there on an evening, you will find you'll find people flying the little kites who bring the train, the plane, the riding bike.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Those are the kinds of stress relief that the nation needs.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: I welcome initiatives like those, but I always wonder why do we do things for utility?
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: Only they set up some food soles and things.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Why you can't do something that, whether it's permanent or semi permanent or temporary, you do it.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Nice, a mark of the areas, nice, you get it.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: Vendors, some guidelines so that we know what type of food selling, what's in selling?
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: They have that sanitary spaces people could use our washroom comfortably and with dignity and, more importantly than all of that was an overlay.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: To all of that, you make it beautiful.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: Make it beautiful, make it somewhere that people want to go and take pictures and post on Instagram and make you know I mean so that Savannah food court now becomes an attraction.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: I, looking at them, we really doing thing in Dominican Republic, them doing thing in a way where that is our attraction and everything they do is built around tourism and attraction and those types of things where we just had a build it for ourselves and we do matters.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Study to risk, because I think when you, every time you travel to a real tourist destination is realize how much of a joke our idea of tourism is right.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: But building nice, build beautiful, build nice backgrounds.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: But if it's tent, make all the tents so pretty that you can help but feel good when you walk into that space and a vendor feeling good when you go there and everybody who only patrons and thing is like sighting place to be looking forward.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: A matter of fact, if you never even going when you drive pass, you must see it looking nice.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: But now we have a set of old tent with footprints on top of it and yellow is yellow and our white stripe.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Then I read on our white stripe and then our next man pull up eating here, digicels, like why we do things like this with.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: We have no pride, you know, pride in the way we do things, know what is that really?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: And I think that is really just more and more lost opportunities.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: You just have this utility approach, meaning when I say utility approach, I mean you just building it because, okay, it's a food court, it serves its purpose, goodbye.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: I see we do the same thing on Maracas, sunday Beach bill.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, you get them buildings where they could do the bacon shark and think, but oh my god, this is the same bacon shark that would attract what a man named who used to eat all kinds of jots, ziman or something like that, and Anthony Baudin, and this is same thing.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: That is like world famous or western hemisphere famous, or famous, and it could be even more famous when you bring.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: But oh god, build it and give it our identity in it.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Now, give it to give it a Trinidadian.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: This now you'll be like HDC house for them to go and make the bacon shark out of.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: And it's a house, you know, I mean the house, so you can't fall them, is built for utility only and I wonder sometimes if we don't do it.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: But you can't do them things if you don't want to charge people around, this is a business they're running.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: This is not a handout.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: We have this real handout mentality and it speaks, you see, in it, rooted in the the.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: The campaigning for the local government election is a handout, is a who could get and who could think and who would have a P&M.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: So I must get in and you can see in power now.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: So we must get in.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, and it's a stupid mentality that, alright, p&m, poor, all this, and it's corn soup on them, can't think.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: So now you can see in power, you had to get a roti thing on them.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: There's just a tribal and stupid mentality that's come around election time and at the end look at this, it's not paying or a charge.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: If people rent, charge them, rent, beautify the place.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: There's a certain amount that you have to pay as a business to make your thing comfortable for everybody else, because every wings man can't go there and put up a washroom.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: It's impossible to do so.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: Instead of doing it like that, make sure that you could get a facility there that people could use again dignity.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: Make the place nice, you know, I mean and parent payaways are business you're going to get better if it's like steel shop and steel.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: We're trying to make these things.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: So we try to make them easy in all the wrong ways by handing it out to people.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Make it easy by charging them a rent, put any infrastructure in place and let them compete.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Let it best be able to be there.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: But anyway, nice word was.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: I was very surprised.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to highlight that and show how those things are.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: Such a part of our mentality is a certain amount of pettiness.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: And he pettiness continue to.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: Because instead of highlighting how good these people look and you know me in the emancipation parade and what was in it, a salute on a guy on mariash bsd, a lot of, a lot of praise going out for him for his truck on the road for the emancipation parade, and in his words they say listen, if you ain't come to learn nothing today by the wrong truck, go and check truck one.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: It also holding up the tradition and so on.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: But instead of all that being the highlight, the highlight is that rolly have a richard milley rolly watch with two million.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: So somebody in their wisdom, and with it, you know I mean it.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: As I said, like you all people, you have your camera phone.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Somebody take their camera phone and video.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Rolly, now with here with you richard milley, and he had and talk about the prime minister right now.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Two million dollar watch.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: You know, the richard milley is pnm red to go with his pnm red dashiki, and all of them think man, look good, man, look good.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess somebody googled the watch and see it comes in opposite 200,000 us.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: So they say when a house on your hand, two million dollars, fair watch on, well, rolly, literally enjoy that.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: They'll get him.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: The opposition and everybody's had decided to put it.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: Rolly say is a sa bomba, watch, tsar, bomba.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: You know the words is a amazon, knock off.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: No, it makes me wonder like, would you feel uncomfortable if the prime minister were not two million dollar watch?
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Would you care?
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: And I feel like if all the services in the country was running right and things was running smooth and crime was under control, this could still be like ammunition for political football.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Like people would just say, oh, using two million dollars on your hand, because people never satisfied, as economics will tell you.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: So, no matter how smooth this country running and if you have zero crime, our mentality and our politics will still be look, yeah, watch on, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: And I think it makes it for this man making money.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Is man none of these people in politics they know proper.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: If there were no accusations or corruption, would we be comfortable with what rolly we're in a two million dollar watch?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: Or are we uncomfortable because the Tiffin, you know me only said a Tiffin pnm?
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: And listen, the greatest place in the world is Instagram comments on thing.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Because who?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: There's a certain amount of defense that going on to say, well, what wrong if the man thing, he's a dignitary, and this and that and the other, and then the next side saying he's a Tiffin and then playing golf every day and all the types of things, only for only to come back and hear the Prime Minister say, yeah, cheap, watching this watch goes three, four hundred us.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: No question to is, why would he buy everybody's garbage for two, three, four hundred us?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean you could have just guys have a good little G shock like what is this sub-bomb?
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: But I guess it look nice with your PNM red and things like that.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: How you could fight him.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: No, that was pretty much emancipation and I'm not telling you that is all I'm gonna say is salute everybody who was involved in the jump back into the local government elections real quick, because we know we're in a little discussion about what is happening with.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: What is this happening with with your boy, jack?
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: Because when we last spoke it was just announced that Jack is back and Jack gonna be with UNC, right, and I told you all that on the Monday UNC Monday night forum, jack was gonna come and talk.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: Jack was supposed to come out and address people and say, well, alright, this is the situation, this is what we do, this is how I'm coming back, what it going to look like and all that and truth of form.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: He did, he come out and he let me know how his return will look like.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: What exactly going to do one stuff, and one of the one of the most instructive things that happened is that he is.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: He has announced that the ILP is no more so.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Reading from the Guardian by Gail Alexander, it says the independent liberation liberal.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: That is what ILP at me, independent liberal party.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: You know I never even study what I mean, I just know ILP, the independent liberal party, will be dissolving so its members will be free to join the UNC.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: So the members members are no brain when you dissolve.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: Alright, okay, following Monday's UNC slash NTA meeting with form up with ILP founder Jack Warner, the ILP's general secretary it's had at in drama rod, said she must do nothing to do as she's shocked when Jack called said yesterday the party would would call a membership meeting and bring to an ending party.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: And Monday ILP founder Warner appeared on the political platform at UNC slash NTA.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: Hey, guy Griffith is a genius.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: You know the fact that they being referred to as UNC slash NTA is a stroke of genius by Guy Griffith because by any stretch of the imagination, no party that Guy Griffith form two, three months ago when he in Getty.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: Commissioner, work should never be mentioned.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: Next to what a political party that is the second most popular, but one of the is only a two recognizable sustaining parties in this country.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Which is being a man, unc.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: And now Jack Gary gave himself as like UNC, slash, nta.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: Any outside or anybody looking on would think that these two entities somewhere near the same level, and they really don't.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: But anyway, the UNC and NC platform at the Center excellence, promising to wear monogram UNC shirt when he has earned the right to do so.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: So he just bring out, he just wear yellow shirt.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: He input, input, unc.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: I see Jack and them, a real politician.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Jack say I will only put on the monogram and I only write upon the monogram.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: From now, I just bring yellow as a supporter genius, the, which wouldn't be the probably just tell Jack a.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: We did not even want to more show to know.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: And Jack said don't worry, I'll talk to them.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: He also announced that he would convene a meeting to disband the ILP to reintegrate its members into the UNC.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, let me see.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: How is I hell over taking this man?
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: Telling you outright I make this party to take your supporters and I couldn't disband this party to bring back your supporters.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: I'll be followers and I'll bring also feel I'll be an old followers, but the IP the IP ILP, was found in July 2013 by Warner, when he was not re-selected by UNC.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: As I can't do fresh corners, western media release Marad said can't Mr miss Kamla Pazad be susser?
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: And the United National Congress have been fighting tirelessly to remove the PNM.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: The ILP shares this vision of the UNT for better TNT, for land when people can see it safe to do so again, where food is affordable, where health care saves lives.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: It is now time for the ILP to join forces with UNC to achieve their objectives.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: So Jack made his appearance and I want you to listen to why you had to love local politics.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: Right, if you're on YouTube, you could watch it.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: Right, I'll put it in a video.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: But he had it yet to understand why local politics is one of the greatest things ever invented.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: For those who only listen, what I'm gonna play for you here is the entrance of Jack Warner into that Monday night full.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: Hey, look at this something.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: This is the greatest place I know.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: This is your man security.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Hold them up.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: Jack is a thousand years old also, okay, currently.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, be careful, I don't hold this man with kid gloves you know jacket guy, bad feeling or gasp pain anytime.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: I could be over, yes, but when I watch Anna robots holding on to this man tight, he hold on to the man tight, raising the hand and victory and everything right.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: And you see him great, go piecing.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: Then you reach up to the two bosses so the two bosses is clearly now in video games and you meet your boss.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Then the bigger, bigger boss.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: The boss is Gary Griffith and the bigger, bigger bosses Kamala.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: So clearly they tell themselves Gary Griffith have enough political cash here, along with Kamala, passat bases, and when you add Jack Warner to that makes them a formidable force.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: I have to think that this is not about local government election but it's a long play for the general election.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: The biggest question is can these fellas stay together?
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Will they be able to stay together?
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Why so instructive?
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Right is when you see Anna Roberts and Jack Warner back again, right.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: What everybody why see posting about this was like look at this, we back here again.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: These people crazy and men supporting it again, people who stand to directly benefit from this corrupt.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: Otherwise I could understand why they go there and the ring bell and the support and they make sure they blow, who say learn all them kind of things, and you know I mean ensure that you're good to go right.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: People who benefit directly from the other side, corrupt or otherwise.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: I could understand why, no matter what they do, you will oppose it.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: The people who I don't understand is the impartial people who are enamored by these things, or these things give them hope or inspiration.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: You know is the most instructive part about this for me only had a song that they choose to play.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: I tell it them, fellas, forget the governing them first for getting working for somebody else, and they don't care.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: And it's so.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: It's so glaring when they go into election mode that they don't care.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Just tell me waiters.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: They say we don't care about all the, we care about we self.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: We come in this, we come in there to take over the control so that instead of them, fellas, taking public funds and made it into private pockets, we come into take over that.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: I wanted to listen to the song that they choose to bring Jack Warner into right.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: Listen to this as an impartial, don't listen to it as a P&M or UNT.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Listen to this so they understand how much these people taking me for fools.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: The name of the song is the Will is a Cycle by Richie Spice.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Listen to this.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: Are we round and round, round and round, round and round?
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: The world is the same.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: Come on, round and round, round and round.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: It's everything we're having.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, we're running as same.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: Come on, round and round, round and round, round and round.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: As you check the steps you take and every rate you make, I'm talking to you Because the little things you do is coming back at you.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to you.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: You should dig.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: It might just be your destiny.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to you, I'm just trying to help me out to gain my victims.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: Do right, do right, do right, do right.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: The world is the same.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: Come on, are we round and round?
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: Round and round?
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: It's everything we're having.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, we're running as same.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: Come on, round and round, round and round, round and round.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: It's everything we're having.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, we're running as same.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: Come on, are we round and round, round and round, round and round?
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: Earth are come, earth are come, earth are found.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: As it was in this irish, and so shall it be in this same one.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, joy is the key.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: Still, the man for master.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: Hey, whatever you dance, that's all you shine Does.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: Puh, cu-duk, cu-duh, cu-duk tu.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: So if I see a stumble, I'll catch aacci before you fall.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: So we have even said the man say what?
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: Drop on head, fall on shoulder, or fall from head, drop on shoulder.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: I just want to hear this song they choose to play Because Richie Spice basically say not listen, it had nothing new under the sun.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: Everything you see here, you will see again and they back.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: So it's like wherever we follow, it doesn't matter.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: We put them things behind us and they just observe us.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: We tend to generalize in it here.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: The general public here seems to just not care and not be bothered by any of this.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: And Jack Warner is officially back walking.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: I saw him walking with Maca Milano and them down in Marabella.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: They're walking in the rain.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: They're like Jack can get aegyo any bones.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: I don't believe this old man home alone, like you're watching a documentary about him on Netflix and they were talking about him bringing Mandela here and why they're doing this old man that they really say everything you do is really what you do it on to yourself.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: The fact that he wasn't bothered by bringing an alien, mandela, to Trinidad on a long flight and parade them up through the oval and all them kind of thing.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: It just tells you what he would do to himself and rumor have it that you know what I mean Extradition talks, picking back up, so Jack looking for parliamentary seats so that they can't arrest him, just so again.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: But I mean so little Jack Warner, so little.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: All the X ILP supporters and all the new UNC supporters are, like I, like all the other, feeling going, looking good.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean emblems is on the way, and so look to the NTA and Gary Griffith.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: You know I mean Gary Griffith.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: I underestimated and estimated was Gary Griffith role in this alliance.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: It was my belief that UNC really didn't need him.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't need them much more.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: But it seems as though he's an instructive part of this campaign and Jack Warner has a lot of cashier with people still as those Gary Griffiths.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: If you judge by comments alone, you would see that a lot of people still feel Gary Griffith is a solution to crime, the only person who feels this road are bad, because I mean she might as well pay salary at this point in time.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: But the general consensus is that Gary Griffith is he man.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: You know I mean, bring back Gary.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: That's the only solution we have for crime.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: Superhero status is what Gary have and Jack Warner is a superhero status.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: I myself, I would rather he go back to TTFA.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: Let me see if he could qualify for the next World Cup, but he definitely has it.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: They always talked about him as the best minister works we have ever had.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: There's something he do under minister works which I find was the greatest up to today and maybe he put him back if he could do those types of things.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: But I mean there's a heavy hitter there.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: But Gary Griffiths cashier, or his input to the UNC's drive for general elections, I think, but local government elections at this time is showing no more than in the statement from Kamloopsad.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: This is a story that says light them up, empty the whole clip.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: Light them up and empty the clip.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: That is Kamloopsad's base for dealing with all these criminals and so on.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: I want to, just before I get into this, take a minute to salute the the the Trinidad and Tobago police service for a minute, because you know you knock them all the time, but the Trinidad and Tobago police service was a release recently that said 110% have been arrested over the last eight months in connection with the reports of home invasions, as investigations continue to intensify efforts to restore safety and security across the country.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: I like when I see stories like this.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: It's just totally out of context for me because I don't know what is this as a percentage of home invasions.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much people get hold last year any same amount of time, but I'm gonna take it for granted and make the assumption that this means they ramp up on this and they pay in particular attention to it and making sure that, because that is outside of all the other things we deal with where crime is concerned, that is one of the most scary parts, but Kamloops had been say so 6.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: Darek, yes, disturbs the Alright alright, alright, here we go, a little Rebelsic on recent piece, bad, bad, bad, bad young artist.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: But Kamla Posadbe-Sesor, on her only campaign trail, basically come all through the thing that say Light them Up, light them Up.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: Opposition leader.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: Kamla Posadbe-Sesor made the remark while speaking at a UNC public meeting in Shaguanas on Monday.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: Shaguanas Nandilas, light them Up.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: Tongue Self.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: Wait, that's 6 and 7s.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: I should say these numbers where she reiterated her party's position regarding licensed firearms users, licensed firearms for citizens, referring to an incident over the weekend where Shaguanas woman killed a suspected bandit who was allegedly attempting to enter her home.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: Posadbe-sesor said citizens must be given the opportunity to defend themselves.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: She said, when criminals invade your home, draw your licensed firearm and light them up.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: Empty the whole clip.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: Reload empty the whole clip again we have to fight fire with fire, she said.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: This is why more law abidance citizens must be given legal firearms, why we must have stand your ground laws so this woman will not be charged.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: The opposition leader's comments have garnered mixed views from social media reviewers, some of whom have expressed concern about the use of excessive force.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: Now listen, I only said to laugh and we'll talk, but I can't tell me now that Gary Griffith is not that interested.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: This is not coming from nowhere.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: You also can't tell me that these people in Govac right took a Cambridge Analytica and then get some things together because the idea of words important, right.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: So when they say things like stand your ground laws, it speaks to something and they have for a long time.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: You could trace back UNC campaigns to a lot of the campaigns that we might have seen in the US political race at several levels, not just like federal or national elections in the states, but even state elections.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: When you're rhetoric comes from somewhere and that idea of standing ground laws is basically if, for instance, you are attacked or assaulted in any way, you have the legal right to retaliate and meet force with equal force or, in some standing ground law states, meet an attack.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: Where you feel like your life is on the trend, meet that with deadly force.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, you see it.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: You see it a lot.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: So when I say it's a lot, what you see is big issues with cases like those when the two people are of different races in the states, when you see a white man standing ground against a black man is a big issue, or vice versa, and people want to see how it's done.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: People want to see what happens with police as well, and police killings and so on, and police can't get off on all these types of things.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: So this is the term standing ground laws already has controversy behind it, and when you look back at their efforts or their guidance that they would receive, or they said was received, from Cambridge Analytica Cambridge Analytica is just a data analytics company, right?
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: They basically taking public opinion through, scouring social media with large data sets and trying to understand how people will respond to different things you tend to find that the people who work with Cambridge Analytica tend to have controversial viewpoints, because controversial viewpoints go further on the internet than non-controversial ones, right?
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: So if you have a very I usually talk in a very middle of the road way, that's not very popular with people and a balanced discussion.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: It's not as popular as one that goes way left or way right.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: Those things tend to get more traction online because of course it will offend some people and they will respond and some people will dig the heels down because they believe in it as well, and you'll find that there are causes that clash, especially on social media comments.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: So the idea of the Stony Groom Road, which is just brand new to me I'm not sure if everybody saw this coming, but it seems as though just over the last week, you find that a statement like that made on a political campaign by the political leader, is not planned and curated.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: That is not by guess, it's not by chance.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure I might have missed it, but if that's not a rhetoric that I've heard her say before, or certainly not her say anything like that as openly as that where she's talking about a specific case with somebody and then saying she agreed, like them up, that woman should not be charged, now understand that this woman, should they win a general election, that is, she is going to be prime minister.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: So if she said that is what she wants, that is how the country likely to run, because I mean, she guys, you have a music license.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: The police will say she that.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: But hey, you think the police and the parliament are completely separate, or you feel like there's direct influence over the police force by the political leader?
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: Because one of the men in her party basically come out and say that the prime minister was telling him what to do and he had to fight back against that.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: And you know he stands on it.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: He has a issue now, or at least accusations, about issuing firearms or bypassing processes and having several more dealer licenses issued than we ever had before.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: And when you hear him talk he seems to be of the opinion that more people should have legal firearms.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: He liked the idea of arming ourselves.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: He himself is known for having a larcenal.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: So this is where we are.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: Again, every time I come back to this fire I'm saying I'm not sure what's my take on it, because I mean I'm glad that that woman was able to defend herself and it's not a good ending to a story when somebody invades somebody home and then they get killed.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: I don't see that that way.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: A lot of people find their happy ending.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: I find that a terrible story.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: I think many families, including that woman who killed that person, would be affected for a long time and need help.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: But I feel it's a better story than the invading woman house and killer.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: My ideal in Utopic world would be where nobody don't want to invade nobody house.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: How do we get there?
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: It's a better discussion for me than the discussion where I had to keep some arms just in case somebody come here and I gun them down.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: But this is new.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: This is new for Trinidad and Tobago.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: I must say that even if you wanted to say Gary's viewpoints on firearms was a way, I won't say that.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: I don't remember Gary talking like this or saying things like this openly.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: He used to call little people a road channel and all them kind of things from time to time, but even in that it was fine.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: It found that he was talking more about law enforcement.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard a political leader or somebody as high up as Kamloops at Bisesa come out and say something like this.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: I think she catch everybody by surprise, especially Should I say that it was strange to hear from a woman too.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: That might be bad to say.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: It was odd, for the first person who said this was Kamloops at Bisesa, but, boy, all he think they were saying about her, about her popularity as a politician and all those types of things.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: This might put her right back in the game Because she all day was something, contribution enough where she is the topic of discussion to the country.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: I mean people going in two different ways, but maybe it's better to be polarizing in politics than ambivalence is where you fear most.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: I suppose this is going to cause me to pay even more attention to what is happening here, because this is not a local government election discussion, the idea of I am yourself and stand here growing and light them up on those types of things.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: I want to see if that was just a statement at the moment they started, or is this driving a campaign?
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: If this is driving a campaign, if anything like this is repeated on the Monday night forums and the walker wrongs and all those things, we definitely know that this party is in full general election mobilization mode.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: I think we could safely assume too that they are.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: When you see Jack Warner and Gary coming out.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: The only big boy interested in local government is Faris.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: Another nut is not something that is a high priority for any of these folks Want to pay attention to right, want to pay attention to.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: I don't exactly have an opinion on it yet, because every time I bring up this idea of firearms I am completely on defense about this.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know which direction to go.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: All praise to you if you figure out which direction to go and what you want to do.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to be there.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: Even more talk about the political or directorate control in the police.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: You don't find it strange that a lot of a sudden, dwayne Gibbs is like when he comes out.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: Who is he?
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Gibbs in the name?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: What was his name?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: Dwayne?
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: I don't remember the Canadian Pope commissioner.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: They had Dwayne Gibbs and Iwatski.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: What's his name?
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: Dwayne James and Penfold.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: I believe it would have been under the people's partnership that Dwayne Gibbs was the commissioner of police.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: I remember them discussing how much money he was making.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: Did you forget I commented on mine?
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: It was like 100,000 years or something like that.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: Probably wrong about that, I can't remember.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Gibbs was a police commissioner and I find it strange.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's a media.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: Reach out to him for comment.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: I suppose if Uyla there and she stopped talking to the media and Stephen Williams wake up from his slumber and leave and McDonald Jacob fall asleep right by Stephen Williams and borrows that, I suppose he had to find some commissioner and guide Griffith campaign.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: I find it strange that now his name reappearing in the then fellas completely mobilizing the Will is our cycle.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: So I see on CNC 3 News and this is not the only place I saw this, because I also saw another article by the news day, so it's a former commissioner of police, dwayne Gibbs, says Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley should be cautious about a vetted unit and he turned that on Tobago police service as it could lead to corruption.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: I ain't getting into all that you say, right, because I mean his argument is not nothing unique is what he said.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: So, in other words, what I'm saying is that even in his response, his response didn't seem newsworthy to me.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: It didn't seem that special, it didn't seem warranted and it feels as though, like we're calling for, like we're calling to see what is he saying?
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: Something that is unique?
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: Has he done something great somewhere else?
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: Is he in Trinidad?
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: Like he passed?
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: In truth, like what is the sudden need to get word from doing Gibbs on what Rowley doing as a prime minister.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: It's just, I just find out, I just find out a little bit.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: And then these, these, and the one on the news day was about a year ago where he again quoted as saying I would not call no state emergency.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: That call no state emergency might be something like, and I was like who acts you?
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: Who acts you, and maybe as reporters you know, but is there separation between the political directories and the media or do we have media plants in the media, plants from the political directories who run stories that are beneficial to the campaigns of the parties?
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I ask and I'm not sure I don't know, but I just find odd, like, why is this who talking to doing Gibbs, like who was home saying I wonder what doing Gibbs thinks right now, when Rowley is, when Richard Milley, watch doing Rowley, when Richard Milley, where I feel T-Fit, it's just odd.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: It's just odd.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: It's just odd and it looks like again joining all the forces together that would have worked for them in 2010.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: So I say in all that to say look out for Prakash Ramada.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: If it is, we had green Gibbs guy graphic, jack Warner, and the Prakash Ramada is on the way back.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: Prakash Ramada is on the way back.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: They were them.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: Fellas say they don't got this.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: You think you have a little bit.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: You have anything in them that you could come back.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: So this squad looking like if they back any game and they are serious contenders.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: I mean they are serious contenders once you have the UNC.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: But the initial discussion in the first couple weeks of announcing the local government election was whether Kamla is the right person, how much election she lost.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: Well, that talk is dead.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: I think Kamla is definitely the person to run them through this local government election and with the firepower she have there no pun intended she probably will get some traction in the local government, which will give her all the momentum she needs to go into election, which is about a year and a half away at this point.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: You know I mean so.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: We'll continue to observe that.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: There was an article that asked Jack about sorry, asked Gary about his feelings where Jack concerned, and he said Gary is not upset with Warner's return.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: Not upset and happy is two different things, right.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: Political leader of the NTA, gary Griffin, has dispelled rumors that he was caught off guard, upset by Jack Warner's return to the UNC and to the political platform on Monday night.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: Messages to glazing on social media claimed he was not informed of the decision until he saw notice of the flyer.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: Speaking to Guardian Media Center of Excellence after the meeting, gary said his party was all about alliances and it was even in the name national.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: The name of the party I lead is the National Transformation Alliance, the world.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: The world alliance is what I expected, that we would go get an alliance of all the minds, of persons who feel like they can contribute, including Mr Warner.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: Even though both Griffin and Warner were builder speakers in UNC's Monday Night Report, only Warner took the stage.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can't talk after Warner.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: Sources indicated there was due to time limitations.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it was.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: So this was instructive to because Gary didn't say yeah, I was fully aware of it.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: I welcome Jack, a happy to have Jack around.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: Gary sing, we name his alliance and we're in surprise that it have more alliances and that's what we encourage and them kind of thing.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: So the bigger question, and going back to my good friend Richie Spice comments on the world being a cyclist, can this cycle, can this washing machine cycle of a quick rinse, will it survive till the national or the general election?
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: Because if the world is in fact a cyclist that is the song only choose to come out to, then the cyclist that only go last long, only go fall out, only go satisfy one another and all hell go break loose.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: Right, what we gonna have Back to Cabal?
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: Can they last the year and a half that it takes to get into the election?
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: But I guess when you have a carrot and a stick that is power, any one of them, things can happen.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: So salute to the UNC, salute to everybody.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: I'm only back in the game and already to run the rooster game.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: I mean we looking forward to only winning the general election.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: We here for it, we here for it.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: If Jack is back, we support the UNC.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: Should I go straight into sports?
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: I saw some interesting before.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: Just talk about sports and wrap up, this week Headline from CNC3 said fired unvaccinated workers to get salaries.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: They say, until the legality of their terminations is determined, 6 people will continue to receive their salaries from the companies which fired them due to a refusal to take over 19 vaccine.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: I just glad to see that you know me.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: I glad to see that.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: I find, even though the discussion about vaccine versus non-vaccine was very, very irritating to me and I couldn't take it, after a while, to be honest, I find like we had enough of that I decided I was gonna take the vaccine.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: I know we didn't have a whole lot of information.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: It could be early, it could be experimental, but I also felt as if for me and my family it would be the safest thing to do.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: Stacey and I discussed it like we do most other things.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: I mean if I was thinking about going to ship body art and all.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: But we discussed it and then, kind of thing, and we say you know what I mean, let me take it.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: And we decide that Botus and Zachary will get vaccinated.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: Both of us were hesitant.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: We had our concerns, we was a little worried, we wasn't sure on them types of things and in the end, we decided to take the vaccine.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: But I was documented here saying many, many times that I'm not sure that I'm against people who decided that they don't want to take the vaccine, because if I had doubts, people had doubts, and people might be doing more research than me, might be less inclined to depend on the news of the mainstream media or these pharmaceutical companies and so on, and I find it was anyway right to refuse to take it.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't say that on vaccines, people had that threat to the vibe.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: I find all that so, so much nonsense.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: It was even more hurtful to me to see that they could fire somebody if they decided not to take the vaccine.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: I had staff too, and I had to have a conversation with some of these staff members and again, it was my belief that the vaccine would be the better thing to do.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: So when I had staff who decided that they weren't going to take the vaccine, I was like well, why?
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: You know what you're thinking and when they break it down, for me Some of it makes sense, some of it makes no damn sense, but it's your choice.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: And we had clients who come to us and tell us they want all this stuff vaccinated and my thing was like listen, I cannot do that in good conscience, I can't do it.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: I take the vaccine.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: So if you don't want people who vaccinated, I can't send them home.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing it.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: We took a stance against that.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: I say worst case scenario.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: If the client don't want them to work for them or don't want to work alongside them, I could find somebody to replace them.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: I even had a bid from a big company here which would have been a good contract for us, a lucrative contract over the Christmas, because remember that during COVID, even though a lot of companies shut down, our company actually grew because we were doing outsourced labor and most of all work is in the supermarket See, supermarkets never close so we were even more necessary than we usually are.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: So when I saw that I wanted to do the bid and then in the last minute they say imagine about 40 or 50 people they wanted and they say all of them had to be vaccinated.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: Now this is a different thing, because then I can recruit people and let them know that if you do have the vaccine, you can't get the job.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: That's not exactly sending people home, but just literally never really sit right with me.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: I can't watch 50 good young people in interviews who qualified and could do the job, until 40 of them, nah, you can't get the job because you didn't take the vaccine.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: My issue with that is not telling them that.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: My issue is that let me say some young fellow who have a little child and them saying he decided he needed the job, covid times hard, and he said, boy, I will go and get the vaccine.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: And then some mom say I love me, I want to sleep in the night.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, I take it less of mom to me.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to be in a position where I was asking people to do something and then made way through all that discussion in my mind and I decided I'm not discussing vaccine, no more, I'm not asking you to get the vaccine on YouTube again, yes, god.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: Well, if this episode comes down, it will be because of the vaccine.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: Too much right.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: I decided I'm not discussing it anymore and not asking nobody if they have the vaccine and I just leave it alone.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: And as people call, I get COVID, I live.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: And no, plenty of people get COVID, they live.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: Some was vaccinated, some was not.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: And but you see in now where more studies prove that these things are issues like I sweat.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: In the last week and the continent literally sweat, was with some doctors and, granted, I'm very unfit at this point in time, right, my resting heart rate is high and all the indicators of being fit are bad.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: But I find I just stand up on the field and my heart starts to race.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: It's fast.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: When I watch, my heart rate is 179-180.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: That is my heart rate.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: When I'm extubord.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: There's burpees on them kind of thing.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: Heart rate there's zone 5.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: So I was like what the hell is that.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: And when I did after see my kind of looking at kind of thing, like holding my chest and watching my watch, he say what happened?
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: I say my heart rate just got real high.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: He say how much?
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: I say 180.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: But the next doctor, that man, I open big.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: So now I come off and I sit down.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: So when I sit down I find it when it start going down, not as slowly as it would use, not as quick as it would usually go down, but going down slowly.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: But so I wonder if that panic attack or something like that, and I eventually went back on and it start happening again, but not as intense as it was the first time, the first thing I say is just crazy, vaccine catch up with me.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: I say I'm gone, I'm going home.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: Vaccine catch up with Mahat attack, but I was fine and I hope her hope is still fine on them kind of thing.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: But of course you know me, I like a joke in worse circumstances.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: So I kind of say the vaccine, and the other doctor, he didn't find out, it was funny.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: Now he say which vaccine you take.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: So now Mahat starts a race again.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: I say well, wait this thing real.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: And when I tell him I'm saying, nah, you cool.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: He say once it's not Pfizer because I guess these studies coming out.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: No, I guess it makes me realize now all the vaccine thing I line up in the savannah is I swatter them and jack me with that thing, not a damn thing.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: But going back to these work as I glad to see these people get their salaries, all that firing people drink, that was wrong, that was not right.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: I remember this thing about the nurses and them in COVID times who get dismissed because I mean, come on, I hope they I think I read that they get back the money and they get settlement something.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: I feel like these people back the money and let them live Before.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: Again, the sports right.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: I saw just a little social media story.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: I wanted to touch on real quick right, because my girl Mataro is back in the news again for the same thing that we.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: I remember talking about Matara last time, the whole better men thing and thing, and I like Matara and I want to see Matara do good, I like.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: But I find Matara song good.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: If another artist had pick up that song who already had popularity and fame and think that song would have been a bigger song than it is.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: But they cardinize the song, this song, but it's a kind of, a kind of a girl you never do no girl.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: You remember the best of girl.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: I could find it and play this episode until then, slowly but surely, tell the love, tell, dance all, tell, dance all episode.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: And also we might as well, we might as well play taking this woman, torah singer.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: All right all right, all right, so that's nice.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: The song is bad.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: The song is a bad song.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: No, things seem to be always.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, if the new song is bad, it's not bad.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: No, things seem to be always.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, if the news is, follow my tarot, my tarot it's creating news, or that way, you know, I start to know people have to talk about the idea and the idea.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: One time she performed and he saw a man pick she up and she got a high fall.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: Now she's telling people outright hey, don't pick mob.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: One rule, don't pick mob.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: When you to the point there, they should bring a man on stage.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: I think it was in Tobago.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: The man is a whizzy politically work right away to say that he got crippled.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: You guys are crippled, I don't know what he is right.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: So you got to be in the first room.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: I was in in the video.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: But the tarot one to tell the man all the rules you can pick mob.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: And she turns and say when she watch him she say, well, all right, well, you go pick mob anyhow.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: So let me go.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: So look to my tarot.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: So look to my tarot, listen.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: So more thing going viral is we got my tarot on stage.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: She's performing, she's an artist, so she's on stage and never know if she could be song stars and she could run out and grab a mic or she doesn't perform or what.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: But you see, like as back what we will see back in the day.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: In fact, when people pocket, get pick and they pelt the wallet on the stage Matarro City wallet somebody kick the wallet to the back of the stage Matarro City wallet then don't quick look through that wallet for us to see if it had any money or any kind of thing, and then trade back and like it's wallet and other scent and somebody record that right and put it all in true Matarro style, which is right.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: Which is right.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, to stay true to brand.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: You're cost everybody, Anybody bad talking here, and then you cast them to hell away and then put out the apology, saying she should not custom away.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: She made it clear that she's not apologizing for taking the wallet or checking it.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: She was saying that anybody would do the same thing.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: So she apologizing for cursing people away and her reaction to the thing not necessarily what it is, of course a manager and CW come out and talk about it because that's what he's do.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: That's what he's do, no-transcript, and her manager and he ever vested interest in her well-being and the Not just her well-being but her image is important to him as any manager would.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: It would be more than to any manager if one a artist doing something.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: What I don't understand in this whole thing is why people is feeling needs to respond, including NCW.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: Why are you responding to any of us, I wonder sometimes, like we forget about jokes and things or this place is trying out is what?
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: Easily one of the places where you see old talk and barbershop talk and think we are kicker.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the other one takes skin.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: If you live in here and you from this or even make joke about anything me, was he making joke any situation?
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: It have Quick to find a joke about our situation and make it into a light-hearted thing.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: We we good at that.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: That is one of the things we are the best at.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: And I tell myself that Mata writing away.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: Because if I am, if somebody throw a wallet on stage now and I'm gonna say I'm gonna forget it, I know no stage.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: If I find out what it's only grown now and I hope met and see money, I Am going to find the person.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: Driver's license.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: I'll find a person on Instagram, see if the best.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: I'll message them and I will get a person think back to them with all the money and talking to me I'm not, I'm not taking nobody money, I don't.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: I feel bad, I don't want a karma, I don't need the money.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: So I will give it back.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: But I want to tell you that that that is not a um.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: That would not have been the case all my life.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: There are several points in my life where I was taking every red cent, every cent out of that wallet and I was probably Don't say I find your wallet and I would have felt bad.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: But I would have felt bad a couple hundred dollars richer, you understand, a couple hundred dollars richer, with a few, but I wasn't feeling bad, broken at all.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I don't know, take any money to do nothing but buy Chinese food, rail castle, kfc sneakers, very frivolous things, very frivolous things.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: Let me be honest.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: So when I see my tarot cards, everybody, I see what you damn right she done.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: I remember when a TST, t Calib, so short time a mother doesn't tell me before we leave home boy, I know money, though.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: Ask me for the money though.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: Ask me to buy nothing.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: I don't have no money.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: And boy, listen, I Walk in, truly, cries a child.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: I'm driver.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: I walk in truly crowded, night low to the ground, everybody high up.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: When I watch, I see $20 Crispy cotton it's a no polymer them days by mash.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: That's when, this way, if you see my mash, the 20 and I'm watching wrong no to see who that $20 come like 10 grand to me at that time I'm mashing and when I see nobody in complain, I bend, don't know and I pick it up by picking it up now, looking like if you know when you're picking us up and you're trying to fake like if you're concerned, like who?
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 3: Is this.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: I do it that and while I doing that no Pretending because pockets in that money I See a woman any distance like she lean up on our friends on when she must be done see my mash, she's in my pickup and when I mean here I make for, she says Go ahead, take that.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, much me, she must not see that.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: But I push that.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: You know, the 20 was a 40, it's 220, wrap up anything.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: I basket that money and I mean it.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: So I don't know that I could be so righteous to come on no platform, we're no comments.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: Let's say home a tarot this and she died because she listen.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: Everybody in circumstances different.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, I also don't know.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: I mean again a person, certain point, a person's age.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do that.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: But the world is a cycle.
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: Rich is spicy, no.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: So if I say Pay nothing and I find a wallet, let me say $40, I will return that no matter how hard times get, from a couple hundred years we're gonna be saying I walk it down the road and I find a wallet with $250,000 and I mash that wallet, that piece of money in my mash.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: That me is so sure, me so sure.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: If a piece of hard times fallen me right now and I watching mortgage this and cutting and wife and I'm so sure that I taken my photo for that to 15 250.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: Keep him over than that I pocket is just like that for two.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: It's strange to me that we look at people or look one to look, looking for a reason to look down on somebody and say that they send it that way.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: All of we take and we take on, we buff.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean I said the entity story, all taken, we buff again, depending on these circumstances.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know why people like that.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: And I also don't understand on these only flip side of it, like why am I taro?
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, but our response to me, the first response, is always the best one cost with the hell Everybody, because that is who he is and you're changing.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: And I also don't feel like it's such a bad thing that she's cuss for everybody, like why we treat her like if she's a second class.
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: It doesn't because she's cuss and carry on.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: Like I mean people's cuss and carry on.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: Sometimes she will change, she will evolve.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: It will take time.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: She's cuss people a lot less than she do it now.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: But I suppose as NTW, if I have brand, I talking to one people, I trying to get the To see me differently.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: I see this discussion play out with Joe button podcast and flip Queens flip recently, where Joe button was saying listen, it's an over all, even flip cussing all the fans all the time and telling fans all this kind thing and I mean People's evolved, people's changed.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: Joe button will also tell you that he went through all that before and look where he is now and he may go through it again and it's just life as a evolution process.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: When I tell him about my design for destined for goodness, I mean it.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: She go do fine she.
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: She trutes herself, she cuss to everybody.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: I suppose NTW at them cutting.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: I find that as a manager, why would I do is call and say I can't cuss to everybody, but I I always Feel uneasy when I see him Apologize or speak on her behalf like that.
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: It's feel like if somebody talking down to you a little bit.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: I don't like that.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: I find you could keep that private talk to your artist and the maid.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: Also.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: Imagine if Marshall was your artist right and Marshall do something that is not Publicly acceptable or it hurts the business relationships.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: If NTW was Marshall artists, would he come and talk to Marshall like boy?
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to see you apologize and that's what I was waiting on apology, and Marshall is changing.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, as you're doing that with anybody, you don't need to reason.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: Why I do that with somebody is if you genuinely see any person as less Well, you know, sometimes you see it's not as a father figure and think, well, it's my time, big woman Manager.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: You might respond to that and I always go back to this to like and say was a comedian and he's Extremely funny, very one of the funniest we have on social media.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: Like you could make fun of them situations, them that funny and I myself Just like how my time.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: Natural instinct is to curse, my natural instinct is to make joke and laugh.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: So if I match that to 50,000, look good, pull it out, put it in my pocket something.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: And then I realize you know them Parody shows when, like it's the part the Lonnie Grants I'm gonna pick it up and a fishing line pull it back.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: Let me assume when I go to pick it up, a fishing line pull it back.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: When I put it in my pocket, I realize is as heavy so the counterfeit dollars or it blow up like one of them bank dollars and I become the butt of a joke or a big prank like one material and the being there I Go care, wait to come on the next episode.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: If that happened to me, my next episode finish record.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: I don't need to talk about that because I come in to tell myself I say boys are hot.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: As it may not take that to 50 and I don't count, what I'm gonna do, it it's.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: That is okay.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: That's okay.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: You're catching a wrong sign up.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: It's funny and kill nobody and do nothing major wrong and forget that man.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: You check on the ticket on your buff and enjoy your life and work on your second song Like.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: I remember Macadamon singing a song named robbery, robbery, robbery.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: She, she make a whole song out of that.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: So I find my Sarah next song she should, she should, she should make a kind of a pickpocket, kind of robbery song and let people enjoy music.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: People enjoy music and enjoy.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: This I don't think is ever that serious.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: I find like we need to calm down and enjoy.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: So right, last but not least, west Indies game leaks lost by 200 runs.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: Lost by 200 runs in our inner, inner, inner one day international.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: That is how it's accomplished.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: I mean with that at a time when I used to watch, one day is the whole one day would finish at about 250 runs.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: Man, make one something in our one day.
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: West Indies lose by 200 runs.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: Look to them, they still played.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: Hopefully they don't lose by no more.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean you had a set your marker and Try not to embarrass yourself further and that's all.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: So the CPL coming up as well.
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: So Western, it's greatfully West Indies playing in the region, maybe because in their playing in trend that is still attracting some attention.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: People go into the games, people talking about it and so on, but CPL not attracts more attention in this part on CPL and the CPL is now and he would have a Fuller respect, a lot any business worth by the name of Curtis Rod Fatima, old boy, all marketing manager in prestige holdings, one of the best I mean.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: But when you look at prestige holdings and their brands and KFC and them thing, you would see how much work he put in in our company, like that marketing genius Maverick, if you ask me in this country, also a very great cricket supporter and I reading from his post here from between the end of July.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: Biggest party in sport is now awake.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: Rest in peace.
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 1: Regional cricket.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: I usually don't take to social media to bash organization and brands, at least not for free, but this one hurt me to the core.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: All you know how our love sports, especially cricket and football, the role sports plays in a society Continue to be taken for granted, how only the good thing left in West Indies cricket that we enjoy, which is the lime and the vibes, cpl and CWI have contrived to kill it with these restrictions, though terminal crap about sponsor entitlement have worn that had numerous times for several companies in dealings with West Indies cricket.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: So this is not a lame man opinion here, because I haven't been prestige holdings man Marketing manager for as long as he has.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: It means that he would have done deals.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: Marketing deals and he understands was my system for KFC, pizza Hut, tgi Fridays, maybe even sub way if that was their franchise in any time.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: I know he left before they did Starbucks but certainly grow some of the biggest brands this country has in franchising space.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: And he said he's saying here that he also deal with stendies cricket to make these branks.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: Kfc was sponsored West Indies cricket before.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: He said this is crap.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: This has taken us down the failed 2007 will cup cricket road again.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: Do these people making these decisions even understand the culture of West Indians or is it just a copy and paste from International terms and conditions?
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: He's saying no, we lazy.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: So They've managed to kill West Indies cricket on the field and now they are making sure that it is also dead in these stands.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: You know me and man firing shots here.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: He says no joy on or off the field.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: This has me so pissed I'm willing to risk falling out of many of my friends in and around the industry.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: How no?
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: Sharing of chow with Tanti from peanut, taking a drink from the man in shagowners, getting a taste of the curry or pell Our sauce from the family I just met?
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: Don't even talk about if someone has a special dietary needs or if it's raining and it's not as dirty.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: Concessionaires even ever step up.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: That's always a nightmare.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: There has to be a bet.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: They have to be better ways to enjoy your coveted sponsors and are protected from ambush marketing.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: You all really watch that dotish list of restrictions are blasted, vexing, I mean.
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: All you don't get to.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: It is upsetting these streets.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: Only Try not.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: We're going all alone.
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: We come up up in here, we come love this place.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: Oh so this is coming out from the nightriders saying basically that is important notice for patrons coming to Queens Park overland brand our cricket Academy to watch matches.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: You notice said there's no power banks to charge your phone.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: So if you phone dead, it that no lighters, no selfie stick, no wooden stick, no sharp objects, no backpacks, no bottles, no umbrellas, no cameras, no weapons, no food, no helmet, no cooler, no liquor, no Walk with your hands swinging.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: The first thing I thought about when they say this writers.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe if you let people walk with helmet, you can let them come with a stick and a bottle and them kind of thing.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: You know, some of these things cancel each other, but I just find I think it's right and that it kills some of the culture of West Indies cricket.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: I haven't experienced it in Trinidad for a long time, maybe because I look at the wall cricket often enough, but I went to Guyana to watch a CPL match a couple years ago and that vibe was definitely the.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: Everything that could Describe was part of that vibe.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: People share drinks with us, people offers food.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: I was the only one in our regsie in the midst of all the guy and a supporters.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: So, with all the noise I'm making and think for Trinidad we lost, like hella for the record, the only noise I'm making for Trinidad and think people offer me everything they had in the little area wrong, as people ask you if you want and and nice for a CPL game which is last about half or that takes four hours.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: But imagine test cricket, what it used to be, you know, being there all day and stuff.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: So as I have it West Indies supporter could, is that it's not me and going to games and dealing with the disappointment.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: The CPL seemed to be killed and tough.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: Now Let me explain what ambush marketing is that?
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: Why is important?
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: One of the first examples I saw of ambush marketing was when Kodak was a sponsor of a woke up game, a woke up tournament, a FIFA sponsor, and what Fuji films did, which was Kodak's immediate competitor.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 1: I relol, these are my examples of Kodak and Fuji when they used to sell films, though, but what Fuji films did was give out a whole lot of jerseys and caps outside the stadium, so everybody who was going in they would give them these jerseys and hats, and people wore them.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: So Kodak was a sponsor, but every time you're panned to crowd big sections and Fuji things right.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: What they used to do as well is give people banners so they will pay it.
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: So I could buy tickets for my marketing team or my promotional girls and send them in the stadium, and while coke is a sponsor, I have them in Pepsi jerseys and Pepsi hats, and giving away Pepsi so is an ambush, because I paid for the right to show my brand in that space, which is important in marketing, and my competitor ambushes me by paying and doing underhanded things to get into the events that derail my efforts, right?
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: So the Westin East cricket, our cpl, is trying to protect against this.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: I mean the food, some of those things, so you might have a food sponsor or things like that, and they don't want any.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: They're not alone.
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: People to come in the umbrella might well be, because if b-mobile is a sponsor, they do what people to come in with that digital umbrella and so on.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this right, when I went to the world cup, one of the things that they did differently to prevent ambush marketing was, before you gave your ticket, you were going through a set of gates like a ticket gate.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: You know, when you're going to a big event and you had to show your ticket at different gates before you're going.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: You were doing that, but what I didn't realize it was sponsor gates.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: So I would pass really Coca Cola gate first and what they had was coke, a set of coke things to give away, which they were giving to everybody who passed through.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: Though, but what they would do as well as if you had on a pepsi hat, they would tell you cannot go any game in that hat.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 1: They will take it and it will give you back a hat and maybe some other things that you could use.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: And people were comfortableness.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: You know, nobody was making up first because, listen, you want to get into the game, the game going and start, and you want to Fight a battle, and they tell you come on, get your thing when you think done, but why you're not gonna go?
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: This is going to stay there, man, and allow for ambush marketing.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: So I hope I mean with voices like Curtis Coming out and talking about this.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: I expect that the powers that be because Curtis would put it on social media, his followers and people could see it, but because he's well connected and well respected in that marketing industry and trend that onto bagel and he has relationships with Weston is cricket, as well, as some of the companies would be some of the biggest sponsors of this.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: I expect that even we are likely to see some adjustments in this.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: He might be talking to people behind this as well, and the the weapon and the sharp object part might remain, but certainly the camera, the power bank, some of those things that even even some of the ones that are there for safety, like selfie sticks and those things.
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: There might be some compromise on that, but I hope there is, because I think he right the Cpl.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: The Cpl is continuing to Grow and be a big part of West Indian cricket and I saw somebody in his comments as well saying that there's a possibility that things like this are standard in T20, to go to menstrual the world, and they might have always been there.
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: Somebody just highlighted it at this point in time on social media and some of these things might be rules, but the enforcing of them is a different story and nobody really nobody genuinely paying attention to who coming with a selfie stick and who have a power bank and who come in and put food on those types of things.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: I hope is not the case, because I think he also right to say that we are not um, we are not, we are not very good at the concession thing.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: That makes it easy when these things are done, whereas they have some other International events where those things will be banned, with the trend adding with the first country to ban food and drink and a venue.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: But you find that the concession and all that works better.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: Anyway, it's time to head out here.
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: This is a long episode.
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to y'all from who on vacation and I coming back myself.
• 2:04:36
