1:53
Speaker 3: We have plenty to cover.
1:53
Speaker 3: We are two weeks worth of topic.
1:54
Speaker 3: It's a one episode.
1:55
Speaker 3: Hello, hello, anybody there?
1:57
Speaker 3: I just frightened with all that, one thing I was frightened for.
2:00
Speaker 3: Let me tell little something about my insecurities.
2:02
Speaker 3: As soon as I miss, as soon as I miss an episode, or I miss an episode or two, I just feel like, well, I'm going to move on and leave me behind, you know.
2:10
Speaker 3: So I appreciate everybody who reached out, I appreciate everybody concerned, I appreciate everybody who called the gangster man and messaged the gangster man.
2:18
Speaker 3: So I appreciate it.
2:19
Speaker 3: I'm glad to know it's still a little bit of.
2:21
Speaker 3: I get into it.
2:23
Speaker 3: Well, first my apologies to the YouTube folks for the last episode.
2:28
Speaker 3: I'm not a young man and I press record on the audio, but I didn't too much press record on the video.
2:33
Speaker 3: And then, midway through the video, when I checked the camera to see if it recorded, I see green, I see red and the thing went out.
2:39
Speaker 3: Oh, it went out right.
2:40
Speaker 3: So the first half of the episode, the last episode I think that was episode 187, maybe somewhere around then and you will notice this black screen.
2:51
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do.
2:52
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do different to make it not black screen.
2:54
Speaker 3: So I just leave it black screen.
2:55
Speaker 3: But if you had cut off before that, go back somewhere around the middle point, 40 minutes or so, I realized it was off and the video come on from then.
3:02
Speaker 3: So, my apologies, I'm not a young man blaming everything on age right, only work with me, work with me.
3:07
Speaker 3: So here's what happened over the last few weeks.
3:10
Speaker 3: Right, I'll give you a little story in a nutshell.
3:12
Speaker 3: The problem I end up having is this I went to the dentist.
3:17
Speaker 3: Palastase is taken by the dentist and they're going to take care of yourself.
3:21
Speaker 3: So I go in by the dentist and the dentist do a little scan and so on through to the dentist.
3:26
Speaker 3: I ain't calling no names, eh, you know it's always had to have some kind of story.
3:30
Speaker 3: Coincidentally, this is not the 200th episode, right, we get into episode 200.
3:35
Speaker 3: But I want to tell you that this is the 200th time that I'm publishing an episode.
3:40
Speaker 3: Oh, that doesn't sound like it making sense, right?
3:45
Speaker 3: Some of the episodes like conversations when I have people on, I don't usually number them, so it's only when I was going to upload the last one I realized I'm on my 199th recording.
3:53
Speaker 3: So this is officially 200, but not officially 200, right.
3:58
Speaker 3: And every time I get into a milestone like 100 or 200, because when I, when my memories come up on um you know apple photos like to pop these memories and these kind of things I realized that leading up to the 100th episode is when I had to the first um, the first surgery on my achilles, and I ride back in that spot because they tell me wisdom tooth infected.
4:18
Speaker 3: I said I told you know, I mean, I thought I done, I forget, I was dumb to tell because I take out, I thought I all to be honest, but apparently there's only two I take out, so this 8 Infected.
4:28
Speaker 3: I had a very, very bad experience with one of my wisdom teeth.
4:31
Speaker 3: I think I tell that story here before, where I so like lime that my wisdom teeth hurt and everything.
4:37
Speaker 3: But in TST them days I go into Tobago with a work squad.
4:42
Speaker 3: You know what I mean Squad of men and squad of girls.
4:44
Speaker 3: You know, I didn't want to miss that line at all and I was getting a little pain on the way to the boat.
4:49
Speaker 3: I said I'll stop by Copper Drugs and I'll buy some cataflam them days.
4:52
Speaker 3: They're young, you know.
4:52
Speaker 3: So I'll take two, three cataflam one time, I don't care about what they say.
4:55
Speaker 3: The more it swells, the more cataf.
5:06
Speaker 3: Eat before and take, just take, cataphram, just take.
5:07
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
5:07
Speaker 3: I just eat about three, ain't eat nothing.
5:08
Speaker 3: And by the time I reached Tobago my face starts swelling to the point where the morning after, when everybody eating breakfast, I could only consume liquids at that point in time because my face swells, so my jaw swells shut, my mouth cannot open and I still lime.
5:23
Speaker 3: I still lime that whole weekend and wait to come back on the boat monday morning.
5:27
Speaker 3: Is this about stupidity?
5:28
Speaker 3: I take the normal boat flight back, I mean today, bring up the date and go back home or go at dentist or doctor or the hospital in tobago.
5:36
Speaker 3: I just lime the whole weekend till the side of my face hair swell, big, big and my chest started swelling.
5:43
Speaker 3: I'm going by dr white to dr darius white, greatest of all time, and darius tell me, boy, that thing gonna go to your brain and kill you or go to your heart and kill you, why you take so long to go there.
5:55
Speaker 3: That guy's a man, is buffy up.
5:56
Speaker 3: You know you're done, sick already and send me to do all kind of tests on thing and tell me how to do surgery immediately.
6:02
Speaker 3: If you think he tell me for one set of blood tests, hiv.
6:05
Speaker 3: I frightened like hell with his semen, with his thing.
6:07
Speaker 3: Now, when I started to write down name, I said which one of these?
6:10
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
6:12
Speaker 3: I said which one of them sent me down the river.
6:14
Speaker 3: And well, it turns out I was good and turns out I was the wisdom too that was bothering me and so on.
6:19
Speaker 3: And I had to wait for all that swelling Because I got two injections in Dr White's office, one was cataflam and one was an antibiotic, and I can't tell you how much pain I was in, to my face, swollen and heavy, to the point where I had a whole little walk, it moving heavy and I had a After that injection.
6:40
Speaker 3: I limped in now because the injection was so painful.
6:42
Speaker 3: When he came out in the office I had to lie down for about a half hour Before I could move pain.
6:46
Speaker 3: And when I go on now by the blood test place and tell these people I have a hiv test, you man say no, you don't want to do the test.
6:53
Speaker 3: Save your 300, you have it soaking.
6:55
Speaker 3: You have it soaking.
6:56
Speaker 3: We can see you come in here limping on your face where you're looking for confirmation.
7:00
Speaker 3: But also that ends well.
7:03
Speaker 3: But but when I hear infection, this time now, I say boy, let me take in front before in front, take me, because I cannot afford.
7:08
Speaker 3: No, at this stage in life I can't take too much catapult and become a belly hurting.
7:12
Speaker 3: Youth is youth and age is age.
7:14
Speaker 3: So I said let me take in front.
7:15
Speaker 3: And I went.
7:16
Speaker 3: The dentist tell me the wisdom tooth looking like it by the nerve.
7:19
Speaker 3: You know they do the um, the dental x-ray thing, 360 and all these fancy things.
7:23
Speaker 3: Now and they say looking close to the nerve.
7:26
Speaker 3: And this is what the woman tell me in the office right, this is what the dentist tell me she say.
7:32
Speaker 3: From what I see in here, I want to recommend a dental or oral surgeon.
7:36
Speaker 3: I think is what they say, because the root of that wisdom to looking so close to the nerve that the likelihood of paralysis in your face, right, likelihood of paralysis in your face removing that tooth, is high.
7:50
Speaker 3: I never hear nothing like that in my.
7:51
Speaker 3: I say wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
7:53
Speaker 3: I don't understand what you mean.
7:56
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
7:57
Speaker 3: The likelihood is high, so leave it.
7:59
Speaker 3: Then she's like well, it's infected, so that will affect your jawbone and that thing and you could get a flare-up.
8:04
Speaker 3: Because she says it's like a chronic infection or inflammation and that could become acute at any point.
8:11
Speaker 3: I said, boy, listen, when you say high chance of things, she's like high, it's very likely that the nerve will be affected.
8:19
Speaker 3: I said, well, what trouble is this boy?
8:21
Speaker 3: So I said you know what, let me go by the oral surgeon that she recommends, right, and I decided doing that, I called up the people she recommended four people Now I end up in Couture now and Kankalang in the dental office now, which I don't like them kind of uncomfortable position because she recommends surgeons based on this likelihood of face paralysis.
8:44
Speaker 3: And all I studied in life is I cannot afford to have half my face paralyzed.
8:48
Speaker 3: I as a man laugh at a lot of people in life, right?
8:51
Speaker 3: So sometimes I'll be waiting for my portion to reach back.
8:54
Speaker 3: I'll be waiting for my karma.
8:55
Speaker 3: Because when you see your face I meet you a long time and you're looking nice, but your face is kind of halfway.
9:01
Speaker 3: I say what happened?
9:01
Speaker 3: You sleep with the fan on.
9:02
Speaker 3: Once you must put the fan to oscillate.
9:04
Speaker 3: You're stroking.
9:05
Speaker 3: I tell women all kinds of things in this life.
9:07
Speaker 3: So I'm frightened now because I said they're going to wait for me.
9:11
Speaker 3: Some of them must be done waiting for me already in my old age they say oh, you used to talk about things.
9:15
Speaker 3: Look at you now.
9:16
Speaker 3: So I say face paralysis is not in the equation, that right.
9:21
Speaker 3: I say I'm going by the surgeon when time to get the recommendation from the dentist.
9:26
Speaker 3: Now I sit down in the dental office, I finish, I pay and the lobby now are waiting.
9:31
Speaker 3: I say earlier what going on?
9:32
Speaker 3: Only they tell me hold on a few minutes.
9:34
Speaker 3: I say pass the thing, let me see who she recommend and let me call them.
9:37
Speaker 3: I want to do this tomorrow only for a woman now who wasn't the dental assistant or the dentist or nobody's the first, the first time she's talking to me I saw her in the office or anything before and she come whispering to me now.
9:49
Speaker 3: The head dentist here wanted to see you.
9:51
Speaker 3: We don't know why Dr So-and-so didn't recommend him, but he wanted to come.
9:55
Speaker 3: I said, hey, I can't wait for this.
9:57
Speaker 3: Now when I say do you want to recommend XYZ, tell him, make a point, make a point.
10:01
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean me now If you want to see me.
10:03
Speaker 3: I didn't like that Because now that started to feel like a little bit of a hustle and coincidentally, I see in one of the first articles I'm going to talk about here today is about the whole dental work in Trinidad and Tobago and where it's headed right.
10:15
Speaker 3: But I didn't like the hustle kind of vibes, like the person who asked him to see me.
10:21
Speaker 3: There is not a dental surgeon as far as I understand, but the dentist now recommend that I see a surgeon, but you're saying he shouldn't recommend you and I don't want this kind of problem.
10:31
Speaker 3: So I call up the people who I talked to.
10:33
Speaker 3: Was nice in the dental surgeon place.
10:36
Speaker 3: And I say you know what, make an appointment, let me see this man.
10:39
Speaker 3: And they explained to me that, listen, if they come they could watch it.
10:41
Speaker 3: They'd have things they could do to protect the nerve.
10:43
Speaker 3: Them started sounding like the likelihood of paralysis is a little lower now, right.
10:47
Speaker 3: So I say all right, let me go by them one time.
10:49
Speaker 3: Them sounding like they don't know what they're doing.
10:50
Speaker 3: I'm going up there.
10:52
Speaker 3: The man explained everything to me.
10:53
Speaker 3: He said no, the nerve, the that, that, that.
10:57
Speaker 3: And he said most of the time paralysis is not permanent, it's regenerated over time.
11:02
Speaker 3: Boy, listen, I go and he tells me all these things.
11:07
Speaker 3: I say, well, alright, let me do it now.
11:08
Speaker 3: Let me do it.
11:09
Speaker 3: He tells me I have two options.
11:10
Speaker 3: He could do it as an extraction, or he could while I wake.
11:14
Speaker 3: I can do normal anesthetic you know the normal injection thing.
11:16
Speaker 3: Or he could put me to sleep.
11:17
Speaker 3: I say you know what?
11:17
Speaker 3: Forget the anesthetic thing, am waiting to schedule with the anesthesiologist.
11:25
Speaker 3: I said let me do it today.
11:26
Speaker 3: No, I'll do the thing.
11:27
Speaker 3: Right.
11:28
Speaker 3: I was very responsible in life because I taught about my podcast and I taught about everything that needs to be done for me to recover from wisdom to surgery.
11:36
Speaker 3: I also have an MBA class going on now in digital marketing, so I taught about them.
11:40
Speaker 3: I said you know what my class is whole day Saturday.
11:43
Speaker 3: I want about them.
11:44
Speaker 3: I said you know what my class is all day Saturday?
11:46
Speaker 3: I want to record.
11:46
Speaker 3: Usually around Monday I record, so let me schedule this thing for Tuesday.
11:49
Speaker 3: So when I do it on Tuesday, tuesday and Wednesday I'm numb.
11:52
Speaker 3: Thursday and Friday I recover.
11:53
Speaker 3: Saturday I'm back to class and Monday I'm back to podcast.
11:56
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
11:57
Speaker 3: I'm a responsible man.
11:59
Speaker 3: I'm going to take care of my responsibilities in this life.
12:01
Speaker 3: Well boy, I can tell you this, that did not go well at all.
12:07
Speaker 3: I don't know.
12:07
Speaker 3: He described this in the end as a difficult extraction.
12:11
Speaker 3: I think that's code word for all hell, break loose.
12:14
Speaker 3: That's code word for all hell, break loose.
12:16
Speaker 3: I'd be nine way to say the excrement hit the ventilator.
12:20
Speaker 3: Because when this man do the thing he inject me and do the numbing thing and all that and start to pull, I start to hear teeth breaking.
12:28
Speaker 3: Pow.
12:29
Speaker 3: When he pulling, I I never listen.
12:31
Speaker 3: I have ptsd a little bit.
12:33
Speaker 3: You hear anything breaking and I guess you can't feel pain, but you can feel it.
12:37
Speaker 3: This thing is.
12:37
Speaker 3: That happened about six times.
12:40
Speaker 3: I am now in the over hour.
12:43
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's the fear, the anesthetic, the air condition, the breaking pause, but I sweating like a horse inside the dental chair, sweating, and the thing is like through the dental window, when I lie down through the window in this man's office, I could peep and see my car and I can't get the thoughts out of my mind Like why I leave my comfortable car and come in this man's office.
13:05
Speaker 3: I could peep and see my car and I can't get the thought out of my mind like why I leave my comfortable car and come in this office.
13:09
Speaker 3: That's all I think about.
13:10
Speaker 3: It's like why did I set foot in this office?
13:13
Speaker 3: I cannot get this thought out of my mind at this point.
13:15
Speaker 3: I was like what is happening here?
13:17
Speaker 3: Why did I come here?
13:19
Speaker 3: Eventually the man say, hey, what is he saying?
13:21
Speaker 3: And I hear them talking right, I mean, they're talking in more code words like difficult extraction, but again everything they're saying is sounding like all hell breaking loose.
13:30
Speaker 3: And eventually the man said, hey, what is he saying?
13:33
Speaker 3: Hey, what is he saying?
13:34
Speaker 3: It's going on too long, that thing breaking up into pieces, this, that that we're getting real close to that nerve and we're getting close to the the root of the tooth in front of him.
13:42
Speaker 3: I was like why are we doing this?
13:44
Speaker 3: What is happening here?
13:44
Speaker 3: Morality of the story is he decided to leave two pieces inside, cut them, two pieces too close to the nerve and sew it back up on whatever else he had to do and call it a day.
13:55
Speaker 3: He said all the infected things, go on, all the things removed.
13:58
Speaker 3: And I said I'm on my way Painkillers and antibiotics and go home.
14:01
Speaker 3: My way, painkillers and antibiotics and go home.
14:03
Speaker 3: You know, I'll eventually go honest.
14:05
Speaker 3: This dentist is in town.
14:06
Speaker 3: I want to tell you it's the longest drive home I ever made in my life, because when I when he you know, they put a napkin like a bib when you're doing dental work, I think my mouth still ain't moving too good and I see myself in the screen and my mouth never take myself off the screen.
14:25
Speaker 3: But when they put the bib right, when that man take off that bib, the bib is bloody, it's a blood.
14:32
Speaker 3: I never seen nothing like this in no dental work yet I don't know if this is unique to me, but I never seen this in no dental work yet.
14:40
Speaker 3: They think bloody, like blood, like you're spotting.
14:43
Speaker 3: And then the woman who think to take off the glasses now, when I was sweating.
14:48
Speaker 3: To her she said no, just no, don't think it.
14:50
Speaker 3: She started to wipe off my face.
14:52
Speaker 3: She said a little blood on it.
14:53
Speaker 3: I said what?
14:53
Speaker 3: When I'm watching my review mirror, my mouth looking bloody, my lips, and you know you're biting down on the gauze I already Now leaving the office Typically leaving the dental office the biggest problem you have is that you're not, you can't feel nothing and you have to bite down on this thing.
15:13
Speaker 3: So the numbness is usually your biggest issue.
15:15
Speaker 3: I wasn't, the numbness was there, but I was also feeling a dead pain and my neck and my head and everything hurting Boy.
15:25
Speaker 3: I never see Chagona so far in my life.
15:27
Speaker 3: I can't reach home in feeling a dead pain and my neck and my head and everything hurting Boy.
15:30
Speaker 3: I never see Chogona so far in my life.
15:31
Speaker 3: I can't reach home in enough time and I still had to stop for a set of cataphram and whatever other drugs the man gave me to take.
15:34
Speaker 3: And I reach home here forgetting that I had scheduled with the air-conditioned man to come here to do air-conditioned service on the same day.
15:41
Speaker 3: So them drilling and vacuuming and listen, I don't think now.
15:47
Speaker 3: If you, if you've been here a long time, you remember I went through the foot surgery, right, I went through some kind of pain with the foot surgery.
15:53
Speaker 3: I had to do a second surgery, I think, and it was.
15:55
Speaker 3: It was some some bouts of that with with um, with my foot was the most pain I ever feel in my life.
16:04
Speaker 3: Now an only.
16:04
Speaker 3: I know all the women here.
16:05
Speaker 3: They're talking about pain, they're talking about man.
16:07
Speaker 3: He's just complaining for pain.
16:08
Speaker 3: And if it was a woman, all these make sure they do podcasts at the same time.
16:11
Speaker 3: All right, cool.
16:14
Speaker 3: But with this pain and wisdom to it here, that first couple of days after that surgery, I don't think I ever feel pain like that in my life.
16:22
Speaker 3: You know, paula says she was reminding me about my foot and it's true.
16:25
Speaker 3: They had some bouts of my foot where it's definitely the most pain I ever feel.
16:28
Speaker 3: But imagine that foot pain in your face and then you understand why this is going through.
16:32
Speaker 3: So I say all that to say I had a good excuse to not be here.
16:36
Speaker 3: Today is my first day, my first day since that surgery that I have not been on painkillers, first day.
16:48
Speaker 3: Now I want to set the expectation and manage expectation here, because I tell you all you know, if I do this for two hours and I'm feeling good right now and then after this I'm in pain for the whole night and I think I went and played football yesterday.
17:00
Speaker 3: I feel good playing football.
17:01
Speaker 3: If I end up going back into pain after this, all you need from me for a while.
17:06
Speaker 3: I need this to heal.
17:07
Speaker 3: I need to not talk with a lisp.
17:09
Speaker 3: I feel like I have a little bit of light lisp.
17:11
Speaker 3: I'm in full control, like the bottom left lip what is it called?
17:15
Speaker 3: The bottom left half, right half of your lip not working at all.
17:18
Speaker 3: And I tell the doctor.
17:18
Speaker 3: I say where is the doctor?
17:21
Speaker 3: It's called doctor, dentist or doctor.
17:26
Speaker 3: I tell them.
17:26
Speaker 3: I say that where my special move has come from.
17:27
Speaker 3: I mean, I work at this thing for 40 something years now.
17:28
Speaker 3: You have no feeling anything.
17:29
Speaker 3: I can't give no feedback at all.
17:30
Speaker 3: So I had to cancel my class along with the podcast, and it have my behind in terms of um, both publishing the podcast as well as, uh, my mba class.
17:42
Speaker 3: So I'm trying to catch up with the mba class.
17:44
Speaker 3: I mean, these classes are good classes.
17:45
Speaker 3: I hope it goes well.
17:47
Speaker 3: But there's a lot going on.
17:48
Speaker 3: But I just want you to know that I've lined up a fine selection today of songs about talking, since I can't talk.
17:56
Speaker 3: Since I can't talk, I think I've got a little music to be talking for me.
18:03
Speaker 3: So the songs today is about talking, and take it in two ways.
18:10
Speaker 3: Take it either that I find a nice little playlist to drop for you to make sure that we stay on theme and we do what we do in terms of talking songs.
18:22
Speaker 3: Or take it as I talk about a topic and I'm in a little bit of pain and I need to go and do a salt water rinse.
18:31
Speaker 3: Or they tell me, hot up a warm compress and rub out your face.
18:35
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
18:36
Speaker 3: Pause and make sure that you're good.
18:38
Speaker 3: So take it as either one of them.
18:40
Speaker 3: Things right as the reason for why I'm playing songs.
18:44
Speaker 3: But I have a fine selection of songs about talking and I start with Super Blue, who is one of the kings roadmatch kings and I'm going straight to our next roadmatch king, thank you.
19:01
Speaker 1: People say my girl is ugly.
19:03
Speaker 1: They don't know what is ugly.
19:29
Speaker 2: I know my girl is pretty, cause I know what is pretty.
19:35
Speaker 2: I said ugly is skin deep and pretty is skin deep.
19:43
Speaker 2: I say they look on the outside so they don't know the inside.
19:59
Speaker 2: Thank you, I want the world to know I love my girl and the girl love me.
20:04
Speaker 2: We don't care what nobody say what they say.
20:08
Speaker 2: They say what they say.
20:10
Speaker 2: They say what they say.
20:12
Speaker 2: They say what they say they say Because people just talk, because they could talk.
20:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, people just talk For a good old talk.
20:25
Speaker 2: I see them out and the words jump out.
20:28
Speaker 2: Some of them want luck for their mouth.
20:30
Speaker 2: They talk down the road and they go down the bend.
20:33
Speaker 2: Some of them just looking for friends but they're telling you Talks, cheap, talks cheap, talks, cheap.
21:05
Speaker 3: Talks cheap, talk, cheap.
21:05
Speaker 3: Coincidentally, right, marshall say that that song was a song when he was very depressed and looking to stop sing Kaesu and come out of Calypso and Soka.
21:13
Speaker 3: And he was approached and spoke to the great Winston Bailey and Shadow gave him a song to sing.
21:21
Speaker 3: Right, you know what I mean?
21:22
Speaker 3: He had a lot of them, little backstories in Calypso.
21:25
Speaker 3: So that song was written by Shadow, delivered by Marshall.
21:27
Speaker 3: Now, wait, go back, press the 10-second thing back a few times and listen to that again.
21:32
Speaker 3: Or go back on YouTube and listen to the song and tell me if you care, here, shadow singing that, the whole song have a Shadow vibe to it.
21:40
Speaker 3: What do you say?
21:40
Speaker 3: What do you?
21:46
Speaker 3: The city?
21:46
Speaker 3: Big, big, big.
21:47
Speaker 3: So.
21:47
Speaker 3: So where to start?
21:47
Speaker 3: Start with the dental thing, since I don't start earlier?
21:48
Speaker 3: A whole, a whole rant about dentists.
21:49
Speaker 3: Coincidentally, I saw an article in the paper this week and it's something I've been observing for some time, both in the states and across the region.
21:57
Speaker 3: Right, I'll tell all of this.
21:58
Speaker 3: Right, one of these was at a time back in the day that they tell us we had.
22:04
Speaker 3: Um, well, they tell me how to do a dental implant.
22:07
Speaker 3: Right, because I had a root canal.
22:09
Speaker 3: Hey, listen 30 minutes on dental work.
22:11
Speaker 3: It's wild, right, it's wild.
22:13
Speaker 3: I promise all y'all will get back on track one day.
22:15
Speaker 3: Right, it's a wild startup podcast.
22:18
Speaker 3: But I do have a feeling that time I went back by the man Dr Woon Sam, I think the man's name was on Frederick Street.
22:24
Speaker 3: I did it a few times.
22:25
Speaker 3: It went wrong, the tooth got trouble until it turned into a root canal.
22:29
Speaker 3: One day I was biting some fish bone real life, the thing break and then they had to extract it, right, and they told me I need to do a dental implant or do a bridge is what it's called.
22:39
Speaker 3: It's like a false tooth tooth.
22:44
Speaker 3: I see, uh, you know, annie lincoln, etha james, I think he have two, two bridge.
22:46
Speaker 3: I'm not doing that.
22:46
Speaker 3: Right, let me tell you, talk about pride on thing in this eye and call it false pride or whatever, but I'm not doing that because that means shaving down to where your teeth and my thing is on his sides, right.
22:55
Speaker 3: So once I keep the camera on this side, it's look like I want my teeth right.
22:59
Speaker 3: So we had some dental implants to do, but yeah, I myself am a Palestinian.
23:04
Speaker 3: We decided I was so expensive to do here If you did.
23:07
Speaker 3: First dentist, who quotes us, was 20,000 each.
23:09
Speaker 3: I had to do, she had to do, you had to do.
23:11
Speaker 3: I said can't do it, can't afford it.
23:15
Speaker 3: But we did see dental tourism being a big thing and we went to Cancun because we say for one quarter of the price of them things, we could fly to Cancun as a family, zachary included, go by the dentist and take care of all the dental work, including cleaning, regular checkup, a little filling or whatever you had to do, plus the implants, for a quarter of the price of it.
23:34
Speaker 3: You could do it in Trinidad.
23:35
Speaker 3: You had to like that.
23:36
Speaker 3: Right, you could have loved it.
23:37
Speaker 3: The only expense was coming out because you have to do it as two visits.
23:42
Speaker 3: You had to go and do the actual implant, which is a titanium thing in the bone, basically, and then go back to do the tooth fitting right six months after that I heal completely after six months and then they do the other thing.
23:53
Speaker 3: Now what end up happening is, as with every other procedure that I do, it don't ever go smooth.
23:58
Speaker 3: I don't know why.
23:58
Speaker 3: It is stacy.
23:59
Speaker 3: Good, she have her two implants and she finishing the process here, but mine come out by the time I reached back to trinidad it it never secure properly in the bone it seems.
24:08
Speaker 3: It was swollen and had all kind of problems and pain while I was in cancun and it eventually came out.
24:12
Speaker 3: So I've been kind of gauging when do I go back to cancun to do this thing?
24:17
Speaker 3: Because now we're gonna end up with an extra visit that we didn't cater for.
24:20
Speaker 3: But this is the risk you're taking when you're trying to save money and do this thing abroad, because I know how to go back by myself do the implants.
24:26
Speaker 3: And then two of us had to go back and do the thing.
24:28
Speaker 3: So she decided she's doing it here.
24:30
Speaker 3: She, fed up of waiting on me.
24:31
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm going back cankuna either.
24:34
Speaker 3: So, according to how this one turned out, I might do the implant down here.
24:38
Speaker 3: And I have seen over the years because why tell anybody, it's nearly 10 years ago but I've seen, unlike all other prices in this country, I've seen the price of dental work start to go down and down and down and down and down, from basic dental work like cleaning and those things, all the way up to implants and Invisalign and braces and even veneers.
25:00
Speaker 3: You're starting to see them things becoming more and more affordable and I tell myself right, we're looking good as a country, things looking good.
25:05
Speaker 3: But I'm only to see this article from vivian bowen saying explosion of migrant quacks.
25:11
Speaker 3: I don't like vivian.
25:12
Speaker 3: Vivian, you're hitting a lot.
25:14
Speaker 3: This didn't want to be the headline.
25:15
Speaker 3: You see, while they have always been quacks operating as dentists, dental border trinidad and tobago is saying that there has been an explosion over the past five years.
25:23
Speaker 3: The statement was made by Dr Siobhan Marchand, a member of the DBTT, who confirmed that it was the board that deals with the grouses raised by patients and not the Ministry of Health.
25:36
Speaker 3: I did see that, coincidentally when I was just Googling about things going wrong with dental procedures and I was in so much pain and everything.
25:43
Speaker 3: It looked like we had it in the right direction now.
25:46
Speaker 3: But I was kind of googling like extractions going wrong and nerve damage, and this did come up.
25:52
Speaker 3: It came up with the dental border trinidad and tobago where if you have a complaint about a dentist or work that they did, you could call them and they I don't know if they pick up the case for you, what exactly they do, but it seems as though you can lodge your complaint with them.
26:05
Speaker 3: She said the vast majority of quacks dentists, of quack dentists, will migrate.
26:12
Speaker 3: Why are they saying quack, like is a is a medical term, like an official term or something.
26:17
Speaker 3: All you have to do is go on instagram.
26:19
Speaker 3: They are bold enough to advertise on social media.
26:21
Speaker 3: And what has happened?
26:22
Speaker 3: You may have some, you may have had some professionals or even other categories of dental professionals coming from Venezuela and now there are so many of these types of practitioners because they have come across the wave of my, come across the wave of migration margin, told the express last week.
26:37
Speaker 3: It's common, even in my own practice, a patient would come and say I'm here for cleaning or I have been referred to take an x-ray or to take a tooth out, and I am like who is doing the orthodontics on your braces?
26:49
Speaker 3: They may say I don't know his or her name, but he's a Spanish man or woman.
26:54
Speaker 3: The people are having orthodontics done and you can tell that the work is not being done correctly.
26:59
Speaker 3: Marchant said.
27:00
Speaker 3: Marchant noted why orthodontics was the most common procedure done by quacks, said Marchant noted, while orthodontics was the most common procedure done by quacks.
27:07
Speaker 3: Marchant noted, while orthodontics was the most common procedure done by quacks, veneer or tooth covering and implants were others.
27:15
Speaker 3: She said the problem was that nobody knows the status or dental history of these quacks.
27:19
Speaker 3: You could just say quacks.
27:23
Speaker 3: This bothered me.
27:23
Speaker 3: Why is she just saying they have a questionable history?
27:27
Speaker 3: She said we don't know the history, this thing with quacks, okay, she said the problem is that nobody knows the status of dental history of these quacks, whether they were dentists, dental surgery assistants or dental technicians, saying that the quacks have not presented themselves to the dental council or board for registration.
27:44
Speaker 3: Marshall noted that there was a process to follow to ensure that dentists were properly licensed in practice in Trinidad and Tobago.
27:49
Speaker 3: You need to do a qualifying examination.
27:51
Speaker 3: Once you pass the qualifying examination, you'll be registered.
27:53
Speaker 3: She noted there has only been one migrant who approached the Dental Council on two occasions, but that individual did not pass the required exam.
28:02
Speaker 3: So look at them, use the only quack it have, because better you'd hide on the way, or two.
28:08
Speaker 3: Marchand said she knows for a fact that the woman was now working as an unregistered professional.
28:14
Speaker 3: But, marchand, unregistered professional means quack.
28:19
Speaker 3: You're pronouncing on these people a little rough, a little harsh.
28:23
Speaker 3: You see professionals in this country doctor, lawyer, dentist and things.
28:28
Speaker 3: They all have a kind of style of working with one another to make sure that all their corner markets and all their money and their bills stay high when they come by what you know.
28:38
Speaker 3: I'll give you my opinion.
28:39
Speaker 3: After Ask what was required to stem the upsurge of quacks, marchant said the DBTT did not have the capacity to impose punishments on persons not registered.
28:50
Speaker 3: They said we can prosecute quacks but we must do it with the help of the police and the DPP, so we have to use the summary court act in laying the charge.
29:00
Speaker 3: So if we get a complaint about a quack and we said that we wanted to go after the quack there are three conditions that must be met.
29:07
Speaker 3: It must be within six months from the time that the complaint arose from the patient.
29:12
Speaker 3: For any prosecution to happen.
29:14
Speaker 3: We must have the written consent of the DPP and that has proven problematic because getting a response within the required time frame has delayed matters being brought through the courts.
29:24
Speaker 3: Earlier this year, martian said the dental board met with representatives from the health ministry to deal with several amendments to legislations and one of those amendments had to do with quacks.
29:34
Speaker 3: In a recent statement made by the health minister in the senate that turns the alting right, he said the dental board had regular meetings with the health ministry.
29:43
Speaker 3: Marshall refuted that notion.
29:44
Speaker 3: He said that we were in communication all the time.
29:49
Speaker 3: Well, the way that communication used to happen was in Trinidad we used to have a chief dental surgeon, but then what happened was they decentralized dental services.
29:58
Speaker 3: There was no longer a need for a chief dental surgeon, so they created a posting ministry called Manager of Dental Services.
30:03
Speaker 3: So the Manager of Dental Services used to have a position on the executive dental board.
30:12
Speaker 3: That position, that post, was done away with.
30:13
Speaker 3: So there's no longer a manager of dental services.
30:14
Speaker 3: Mashan said she was no longer the representative of the ministry of board.
30:18
Speaker 3: So those regular conversations they say is happening are really not happening.
30:21
Speaker 3: Uh, they went on to mashan have some gripes, right, mashan has some gripes.
30:25
Speaker 3: They went on further and further along this line.
30:28
Speaker 3: I want to note as well that martian is quoted here as being a member of the dental board at trinidad and tobago and not the president of the board.
30:42
Speaker 3: Let me see if I could.
30:45
Speaker 3: I can find out who is in charge of this board DCTTorg.
30:51
Speaker 3: Is it Dr Roe?
30:52
Speaker 3: And D'Amendro Roe hit Asking that because I'm trying to figure out if Marchand is appointed to speak on behalf of the board, like a PR person or so, or what exactly is her role?
31:05
Speaker 3: Siobhan Marchand is appointed to speak on behalf of the board, like a PR person or so, or what exactly is her role, siobhan Marchand?
31:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, here it just says member of the board.
31:10
Speaker 3: Right, the president of the board is listed here as D'Amendro Rohit, secretary Elamie Drouan, vice President Christopher Mawa, and then you have Nikolai Rajkumar All doctors, right?
31:23
Speaker 3: Nikolai Rajkumar, larry Caldero, siobhan Marchand, juvie Boisin and Dinesh Martin All of them members of the board.
31:30
Speaker 3: Good-looking people too, damn good-looking.
31:32
Speaker 3: Everybody here.
31:33
Speaker 3: Nice, all the hand-picking people they said look so, point.
31:38
Speaker 3: Again, that is this, right.
31:40
Speaker 3: I am worried that official statement coming out by the Dental Board of Trinidad and Tobago that is referring to people in this way, number one casting aspersions about migrant workers, as if it automatically means quacks.
31:56
Speaker 3: So migrant quacks.
31:58
Speaker 3: Once you didn't register with the Dental Board of Trinidad and Tobago, you're automatically being classed as a quack.
32:02
Speaker 3: I don't like the term quacks at all, especially coming from our.
32:05
Speaker 3: This is our official board.
32:06
Speaker 3: These are the people who are supposed to represent us.
32:09
Speaker 3: Also, because of my experience in the medical world again, world is all kind of thing you're going through I am two for two on surgeries that I feel didn't go right.
32:19
Speaker 3: One surgery was done by a migrant right and I'm not sure, man, we cannot just say I.
32:25
Speaker 3: One surgery was done by a migrant Right and I'm not sure.
32:27
Speaker 3: I talk about him a lot, if you're paying attention.
32:30
Speaker 3: I was talking about him in the episodes While I was going through that.
32:32
Speaker 3: He's from Ukraine, if I'm not mistaken.
32:35
Speaker 3: But again, a partner of mine Was playing with us.
32:38
Speaker 3: He's a surgeon as well and he recommended this guy, which for the most part Medical professionals.
32:45
Speaker 3: Most of their business comes from referrals, right.
32:48
Speaker 3: So I know Dylan saluted Dr Thomas.
32:50
Speaker 3: I know him well and he was playing with us.
32:53
Speaker 3: He told me one time it was ruptured the Achilles while we were playing and he referred me.
32:57
Speaker 3: He told me well, this guy in St Clair.
32:59
Speaker 3: I went and I met him and I'll say this that didn't end well.
33:03
Speaker 3: That surgery didn't end well.
33:06
Speaker 3: That surgery didn't end well.
33:07
Speaker 3: I had to do a neck surgery a year later.
33:08
Speaker 3: I was in post-surgical care for almost a full year.
33:12
Speaker 3: But I will say that the experience with him I could not hope to go through that with somebody better than him.
33:18
Speaker 3: He made it easy.
33:20
Speaker 3: He explained everything as he went along, including areas where he felt unsure, uncertain.
33:24
Speaker 3: I feel like we worked together To make sure my foot good and I could score goals and still you know what I mean.
33:31
Speaker 3: After yesterday I ain't sweating so long and it's still goals galore, right?
33:34
Speaker 3: Still, john, levels are goals galore and I felt good working with him.
33:39
Speaker 3: I'm not saying again that he I don't know if he went through what needed to be go through that.
33:45
Speaker 3: I'm gonna fix my language.
33:47
Speaker 3: That's because of the my mouth numb, right, because when he, when he went through what he had to go through, I let me assume that he did everything he needs to do for the medical profession in trinidad and tobago, because he also works in port of spain general and so on, so he would have gone through whatever registration.
34:03
Speaker 3: So I want to class him as just migrants and quack, which I feel like this article tends to do for the layman.
34:10
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about me and you know who could read this and decipher where it is happening, right?
34:14
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that an official board making a statement to official media, not, not, not on twitter or instagram or podcast or anything.
34:21
Speaker 3: They're talking the experts.
34:22
Speaker 3: I would think that the dental board is more measured in the things that they say and take an approach that sounds like well, we have had an influx of migrants over the years and it's difficult to measure or capture everybody who's practicing here.
34:37
Speaker 3: Trinidad and Tobago has an official way of becoming a dentist in this country, which is XYZ, and we are advising all Trinidad and Tobago nationals to check people's credentials, like know what it is?
34:46
Speaker 3: Don't go based on price, because the long-term effects of bad medical work at its most brutal.
34:55
Speaker 3: It could be short-term.
34:56
Speaker 3: You could be out of here, right, if your medical work go bad, you could be going home.
35:01
Speaker 3: But again you could also end up In a situation when you're like me and you had to go by a doctor At a point in time I was being sick, like every other day.
35:08
Speaker 3: I want to tell you that is not a nice thing.
35:10
Speaker 3: You see that you don't want to talk About PTSD, and we just talked About that with Stacy the other day, about how I used to tell her.
35:16
Speaker 3: You know, look at my foot Open, open the surgical wound, opening back right.
35:23
Speaker 3: Dealing with and I saw a preaching to the choir here right, dealing with medical things going bad is a rough, rough road that could end really, really, really bad.
35:34
Speaker 3: Imagine a man telling you how to loss your God forbid, right.
35:38
Speaker 3: So I just expected more when I read this article.
35:42
Speaker 3: I expected more measured statements, more thought going into this than to have an article coming from a board that we're supposed to have faith in, because I don't know if I have a dental board or neither, until I know something go wrong with something happening with me and my dentist.
36:02
Speaker 3: My dentist is a reputable guy.
36:04
Speaker 3: People know his name.
36:05
Speaker 3: He's been around for a long, long time, right, and as far as I can turn, he's saying the word difficult extraction and I hear all hell break loose.
36:16
Speaker 3: I want to be sure that if I really in a situation where somebody do something bad or do malpractice, then let me use that term, which is this is not the case.
36:24
Speaker 3: I don't feel this to be the case, now, right, but if it was the case and it affects my job, because I remember sitting there with him and I tell him brother, paralysis on the side of my face is not something I I can't explore, that I talk for a living.
36:39
Speaker 3: I can't, I can't talk out of one side of my face.
36:41
Speaker 3: I could talk about the one side of my mouth.
36:43
Speaker 3: I.
36:43
Speaker 3: I can't talk out of one side of my mouth.
36:44
Speaker 3: I have to do that twice a week, but I mean, I understand, I have went through it with him and still I don't feel it in my mouth.
36:49
Speaker 3: So if I have somebody I have to go to, based on this, it can't be a dental board that is so loose in the statements.
36:55
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a spokesperson, because nothing on the official website for the dental board saying like pr person.
37:04
Speaker 3: She's clearly not a pr person.
37:05
Speaker 3: A pr person probably would not make statements like this and the dental board ought to hire somebody who's a pr person to make statements on their behalf, if this is the best that they can come up with.
37:14
Speaker 3: This does not inspire confidence at all and it seems like a personal attack, or it could be perceived to be a personal attack on people who did not go through the process in this country or who might be migrants and so on, because you're not saying anywhere in this article that you also have local people who have not passed the exam and have not registered and operating in this way.
37:40
Speaker 3: You're not saying that anywhere.
37:41
Speaker 3: So are you telling me that all the quacks are from abroad?
37:44
Speaker 3: I, I, if, if that's what you want to say, there's an official, measured way to say that as well, because you've done, you did the research as a board and come out and say that anything other than that is conjecture and it don't come across right.
37:56
Speaker 3: This statement makes me very, very uncomfortable, uh, especially because if I have to report a local dentist to this board, I start to question wait, now all the fellas for one another.
38:10
Speaker 3: I don't question that in these professions in Trinidad, I don't mean talking dentist alone, a dentist, doctor, lawyer, as far as I can tell, these fellas are for one another, board or not, and I am of the belief that they will properly hide up wherever it is there to hide up to make things look in favor of.
38:27
Speaker 3: In other words, can I get a fair case, is what I'm saying if this is the approach by this board?
38:33
Speaker 3: But again 30 minutes or 40 minutes of dental work to start a podcast is wild.
38:39
Speaker 3: It's wild, but another 20 minutes On teeth is even more wild.
38:47
Speaker 3: Because you see what happened in Tobago Like I couldn't believe it, from somebody who had no teeth Like me whatsoever To a man who went through the most harrowing experience.
38:57
Speaker 3: I mean, if you had to imagine A worst case scenario.
39:02
Speaker 3: In just going to the beach Something I said a couple of weeks ago I said you know what I mean.
39:04
Speaker 3: I went to the beach, something I said a couple weeks ago.
39:05
Speaker 3: I went to the beach with my son.
39:07
Speaker 3: Me and him alone went up earlier Sunday morning.
39:09
Speaker 3: We had such a good time I said I want to do it often only for a shark.
39:12
Speaker 3: Me only had 32 teeth.
39:13
Speaker 3: Shark had thousands of sharp teeth.
39:16
Speaker 3: And this man, reading from the Guardian shark attack victim, unmanned after surgeries.
39:20
Speaker 3: I want to send prayers to the, the family and everybody who's involved in this incident, even the people who would have seen something like this or something else.
39:32
Speaker 3: But Mr Smith, who went through this is crazy.
39:35
Speaker 3: Let me read from the Guardian Tobago shark victim Peter Smith is on the road to recovery after underwent multiple surgeries at the Scarborough General Hospital since Friday Last evening.
39:44
Speaker 3: Smith, 64, was in a stable condition after he underwent a blood transfusion.
39:48
Speaker 3: Doctors saved his limbs and wounds were closed and treated.
39:51
Speaker 3: The surgeries lasted a little over three hours on Friday.
39:55
Speaker 3: The surgical team is, however, now preparing to determine the next step in his treatment.
40:03
Speaker 3: Is, however, now preparing to determine the next step in his treatment?
40:08
Speaker 3: Uh, so if?
40:08
Speaker 3: If I'm sure you would have followed this over over wherever you live, that was pretty much the biggest story in trinidad at the time, and I believe the last thing that I read on it was that he was air ambulanced back to back to london.
40:22
Speaker 3: I know they had moved him from from Tobago to Trinidad at one point in time, but I believe that he's back home seeing about his injuries and so on, if my memory serves me right.
40:34
Speaker 3: Oh no, they say he was here left and out of Tobago at approximately 12.05 on Tuesday morning, arriving in Miami at 3.51.
40:39
Speaker 3: He's now in the care of medical professionals at Jackson Memorial in Miami, florida.
40:44
Speaker 3: So so I just want to take a quick minute.
40:45
Speaker 3: I don't know why I clapped for that, sorry, I'm clapping for that because of where he is and I'm assuming he will get the best care possible, right, and I just wanted to take a minute to acknowledge that and see how unfortunate that story is and how unlucky he could be.
41:02
Speaker 3: And it made me look into shark attacks as a whole, because I remember being with my father and one of the first things he says he says shark attack in Tobago.
41:13
Speaker 3: Well, he no longer going back to Tobago.
41:16
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
41:16
Speaker 3: You're talking about a man who probably, like I, never seen a man, coward, so he decided he's not going back to Tobago at all, as if Tobago had no land, nothing.
41:25
Speaker 3: Coward, so he decided not going back to bego at all, as if to be go handle and nothing.
41:25
Speaker 3: I mean it's going on.
41:28
Speaker 3: Now, the thing about the shark attack right, I'm looking at uh from florida museum and florida is the place from this article that I read, that has the most shark attacks.
41:36
Speaker 3: They usually separate it into uh, unprovoked versus provoked bites, meaning um.
41:42
Speaker 3: Well, as I say here, unprovoked bites are defined as incidents in which a bite on a live human occurs in the shark's natural habitat with no human provocation of the shark, after assuming that what happened in Tobago would be classified as unprovoked, whereas a provoked bite occurs when humans initiate interaction with the shark in some way.
41:59
Speaker 3: These include instances when divers are bitten after harassing or trying to touch sharks, or bites on spear fishermen, bites on peopleing or trying to touch sharks, or bites on spare fishermen, bites on people who are attempting to feed sharks, bites on bites occurring while unhooking or removing a shark from a fishing net, and so on and so on.
42:12
Speaker 3: So they, there's a global record, there's a global repository of shark bites.
42:17
Speaker 3: I suppose it's like.
42:17
Speaker 3: It's like plane crashes.
42:18
Speaker 3: You know it's such a big incident that people will pay attention when it happens.
42:22
Speaker 3: The the truth about it is when, from what I've read, the hammer, it's hammerhead shark.
42:27
Speaker 3: They call it the one that attack people in Tobago, which, coincidentally, they're meant for a $10,000 bounty.
42:33
Speaker 3: I think, just like the dental board, the THA, anybody, anybody want any public space.
42:39
Speaker 3: Hire good PR people now.
42:41
Speaker 3: Hire good PR people.
42:42
Speaker 3: I know some people who do PR and think well, you want to call me and get some names, because responses to these things are not great.
42:49
Speaker 3: $10,000 for the shark, that's just to join the wave and create people in a frenzy for no reason.
42:54
Speaker 3: They eventually retracted that $10,000 reward, but that was a little bit ridiculous on several counts.
43:00
Speaker 3: But it seems as though this hammerhead shark Is the most Is the one where you get the most unprovoked attacks and several theories Coming out for that right, some of the theories being things like turtles that basically these sharks would Typically try to chase after.
43:16
Speaker 3: I see a man do a video to say Somebody who owned the land when turtles would normally nest, he put a kind of Stream or some kind of drain running back to the thing which the little turtles or the eggs and things running back into the sea and attracting these kind of sharks.
43:31
Speaker 3: All conjecture.
43:33
Speaker 3: I don't know if any of that is true, but he showed you in a video where he thought that could have been the reason for the attack and you're seeing that these.
43:40
Speaker 3: Is it bull shark or hammer shark, whichever one it was?
43:43
Speaker 3: In Tobago they're saying that that one is the one that most frequently involved in unprovoked bites and the truth is that it's never been fatal.
43:50
Speaker 3: They've never had a fatality with that, they say.
43:52
Speaker 3: The fatality usually is great white sharks and Florida is the one with the most any type of shark, I think, followed by Australia in these kind of attacks.
44:04
Speaker 3: So while the chances of that happening are extremely low, I think whenever it happens the consequences are so dire.
44:13
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
44:13
Speaker 3: It's such a harsh and a brutal thing to go through.
44:16
Speaker 3: I can't imagine it.
44:17
Speaker 3: If I had to guess it's like bathing in the sea you wouldn't even know what happened.
44:24
Speaker 3: You just know something hit you real hard because the first thing you feel is something hit you.
44:28
Speaker 3: You might not even feel the cuts or the bite, but when that thing starts to take and it's salt water and just the trying to get away from it.
44:38
Speaker 3: Because, let me tell you something, if me and you knew what I was talking about, amazing grace, yes, amazing grace, and blessed be thy name and blessed assurance, and you know what I mean one by one.
44:50
Speaker 3: And when the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
45:05
Speaker 3: Oh, when the roll is called up yonder, I'm not helping you.
45:09
Speaker 3: I cannot, I cannot, I can't do it.
45:11
Speaker 3: I out every man for their self.
45:14
Speaker 3: Anytime a shark bites involved, somebody had to tell his story, somebody.
45:17
Speaker 3: And a man tell this story.
45:18
Speaker 3: I couldn't find the clip before I come here.
45:20
Speaker 3: A man say shark very unlikely to come maracas due to bacon shark, and I think the man blasted right.
45:30
Speaker 3: I think only only papi showing the man.
45:32
Speaker 3: The man was very right in what it is.
45:34
Speaker 3: He said, if you leave shark, stupid.
45:35
Speaker 3: Or if you leave shark and smelling their ancestors in the waters, the shark fully well know what is to come here and they're not putting themselves through that.
45:43
Speaker 3: Them shark and them say, boy, for me to end up with tamarind sauce, tamarind sauce all over me and garlic sauce and all these things.
45:51
Speaker 3: They ain't going through that.
45:52
Speaker 3: But listen, as I said, for the sake of regular talk breaks for me to rest my mouth and never eat so much lollipops, so much icicles in my life.
46:04
Speaker 3: But in order to get some icicles up in me and make sure my jaw good and I don't ever have to call the dental board or Trinidad and Tobago for nothing, I would like to play you my second selection of talking songs for this episode, which is dedicated to that lifeguard in Maracas who said that shark would not come to Maracas due to bacon sharks.
46:45
Speaker 4: Where ignorance is bliss, it's folly to be wise.
46:48
Speaker 4: But is a dumb boy and a parrot open me eyes In the morning when I gone to work and leave me house.
46:55
Speaker 4: Like me girlfriend used to entertain she boyfriend rouse.
46:59
Speaker 4: Every evening I would feed this parrot red pepper and the dumb boy used to get a half of me supper.
47:06
Speaker 4: We became friends because I was kind and this is how they're trying to tell me in pantomime.
47:14
Speaker 4: The boy said ooh, ah, ee, oh, oh.
47:18
Speaker 4: And he pointed straight at me back door.
47:20
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, hey.
47:22
Speaker 4: The parrot say walla, walla, bing, bang, bang in there.
47:26
Speaker 4: I didn't stop to study this boy too well and the story that the parrot trying to tell.
47:42
Speaker 4: I'm coming home from work as usual this day and me girlfriend try to greet me in the usual way, but like she fed the man my whiskey and got him drunk, yes, cock up his snout.
48:05
Speaker 4: He start again.
48:06
Speaker 4: Oh, ah, boom, boom, boom.
48:08
Speaker 4: And he pointing straight at the bathroom hey, hey, hey, florito say walla, walla, bing, bang in day.
48:26
Speaker 4: I came home next evening about half past ten and it was kinda late to feed my pantomime friend.
48:33
Speaker 4: I reached in the yard, the parrot started to bawl.
48:37
Speaker 4: The boy's sleeping, but the parrot won't sleep at all.
48:40
Speaker 4: So I fed him some red pepper in a butter pan.
48:44
Speaker 4: He so vexed man, he pelting, bited me hand.
48:48
Speaker 4: The dumb boy.
48:50
Speaker 4: Wake up when the parrot said ¶¶, ¶¶, ¶¶.
49:04
Speaker 4: Doritos say wala, wala, bing bang today.
49:07
Speaker 4: At length, and at last I finally saw why this boy was only pointing at my back door.
49:24
Speaker 4: I surprised them by passing in the back road and as a coming in, the boyfriend was going out.
49:32
Speaker 4: Yes, but this is something I couldn't understand.
49:36
Speaker 4: He had something like a chicken, a leg, in his hand.
49:39
Speaker 4: So I went in the kitchen and peep in the room, not realizing I was gazing at parrot stew.
49:47
Speaker 4: The boy said mm.
49:49
Speaker 4: Ah, eh, eh, eh, meaning he ain't want no food today.
49:54
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, hey, my girlfriend say you eat wala, wala, bing bang today.
50:11
Speaker 3: There's the voice of the great Lord Crystal, unmatchable Lord Crystal.
50:14
Speaker 3: Story.
50:14
Speaker 3: Like hell and calypso, you can't go wrong.
50:17
Speaker 3: Next story in Trinidad and Tobago is this right, as we hear A man who calls himself.
50:25
Speaker 3: I want to make sure I get names right and things I try to do better in life, you know, because I have a way of starting to talk about these things and then not be sure about the people's names.
50:32
Speaker 3: The name on the Instagram is the pilgrimage of life.
50:35
Speaker 3: Right, the name is Tilo, a white boy walking across Trinidad.
50:41
Speaker 3: That could be a topic for Calypso.
50:45
Speaker 3: Should I write a case about this?
50:47
Speaker 3: Because the white boy comes, he's 20 years old, looking like 45.
50:49
Speaker 3: And he says he's going to walk from the eastmost point of Toko all the way down to the southwestmost point of whether that is Galiota or Granville or somewhere down on that side, wherever it is down in the southwestern peninsula.
51:06
Speaker 3: He's walking across Trinidad and Tobago and the goal is to walk across with no money at all and no food or anything like that and depend completely on the help of strangers on his pilgrimage, right.
51:17
Speaker 3: I like the back story.
51:20
Speaker 3: He was a kind of nerdy fellow in school, wasn't really fitting in, and then he studied this.
51:26
Speaker 3: He studied that almost like you know your parents have you doing what you need to do to become a better person, kind of thing.
51:31
Speaker 3: And then he first, as he reached 18 and he started to make decisions for himself, his first thing was to say, all right, I'm gonna do something for me to find myself and one of the one of the things he chooses as a german.
51:40
Speaker 3: He's a man walk across, walk across trinidad.
51:45
Speaker 3: And this on social media has been gaining both on on instagram.
51:49
Speaker 3: I want to tell you that he was not a big Instagram influencer or anything when he came here right, or a big influencer at all.
51:55
Speaker 3: He had not a whole lot of followers A couple hundred followers, I believe, if that and he started this and in no time at all the thing started catching traction, right, I believe, when he started the walk.
52:07
Speaker 3: I don't know how he reached Tokko if you walk up the walk back out, but uh, the radio station in toko pick it up and people in toko were supporting him and cheering him on as he went along and so on, and it started to get traction in mainstream media and so on.
52:22
Speaker 3: You're finding more and more articles being written about it, not not just mainstream media, but also, uh like, okay.
52:32
Speaker 3: So when I say mainstream media, I mean like guardian, express and these people right, they, they carry it but also the very big social media, people like the news before news and myob, which is kind of starting to become like mainstream media now in their own way Not as credible, but definitely mainstream.
52:48
Speaker 3: Most people follow or see those pages as well and they're covering it and we're showing it right.
52:54
Speaker 3: So it's Tilo Cruz, and I read it from the Guardian here For those who might not have heard about it yet.
52:59
Speaker 3: It's a German man showcasing good NTNT, robbed and walked from Toko to Ikaka.
53:04
Speaker 3: So, of course, of course, by day two or day three this.
53:07
Speaker 3: So of course, by day two or day three, this man say he get robbed.
53:10
Speaker 3: Now I want to tell you, I want to tell you, I don't really believe him.
53:16
Speaker 3: I can say that it's okay to say that because I don't too much believe him.
53:21
Speaker 3: His story look real.
53:22
Speaker 3: In other words, from all the experience I see in this country, when you're robbed in this country, you are robbed.
53:32
Speaker 3: There's not too much a near miss in this country, whether they come to take your phone, they come to take your camera, they come to take your money, whatever it might be.
53:39
Speaker 3: When you're in this country and you get robbed, you're robbed, you're losing something and and and.
53:48
Speaker 3: These days, with crime going, you could only hope that that is all you get when you, when you get robbed in this country.
53:56
Speaker 3: All again, where I come in from, because I also saw an article saying that um joel, you'll follow joel.
54:05
Speaker 3: Joel de suzo was robbed at a home.
54:09
Speaker 3: Right, I'm not comparing these two stories, but I want to read from the Guardian before I go through this man walking across Trinidad, because I have a lot of assumptions about this guy walking across Trinidad, both about him and about us as a society, and the conclusion I come into on both ends is that I am wrong.
54:25
Speaker 3: Right, but I want to go to Joel here.
54:27
Speaker 3: Activist Joel D'Souza, assaulted and robbed during home invasion, bruised and battered.
54:32
Speaker 3: After being attacked during a harrowing home invasion involving five gunmen, former UNC Senator and animal activist, joel D'Souza expressed sadness at the state of Trinidad and Tobago, saying she felt numb from the experience.
54:43
Speaker 3: Despite showing visible signs of the attack, which occurred around 7.25 on Wednesday, d'soua still went to her business place here by Joel at Independence Avenue, san Fernando, to console her employees, many of whom cried upon hearing the ordeal While police stepped up in the manhunt for assailants.
55:08
Speaker 3: The Sousa said she left both distraught and determined to overcome her experience.
55:10
Speaker 3: I've heard it many storms before and I will come out of this better and more resilient.
55:12
Speaker 3: I will bounce back and continue to help search for these people, she said, even as tears glisten in her eyes.
55:17
Speaker 3: I just want to go into my own house, crawl into my room and wish that I never, wish that I never come back out of that house.
55:25
Speaker 3: The suzer said the gunman came to her meadow drivemas home and entered through her unlocked door on the northern side of the property.
55:30
Speaker 3: One of the bandits described as five foot three inches tall.
55:33
Speaker 3: You took short teeth.
55:34
Speaker 3: Five foot three.
55:37
Speaker 3: You're breaking in people's place where they must use you to climb through burglar proofing and things.
55:41
Speaker 3: But that dark complexion and slim bill wearing a red t-shirt and black three-quarter jeans that was her long jeans.
55:48
Speaker 3: I'm sure it was her long jeans.
55:49
Speaker 3: The three-quarter fit in her long jeans.
55:51
Speaker 3: She was holding her gun.
55:51
Speaker 3: They assaulted the Sousa before binding her hands and feet with tie straps.
56:00
Speaker 3: The assailants then proceeded to ransack the premises.
56:01
Speaker 3: They stole a safe containing documents as well as an array of luxury items, including Louis Vuitton handbags and two Apple iPads.
56:06
Speaker 3: The total value of stolen items is yet to be ascertained.
56:10
Speaker 3: D'souza said she had not yet tabulated what was stolen from the house.
56:14
Speaker 3: They took my safe with all my documents and my will and other items.
56:18
Speaker 3: She had hoped that the perpetrators could be caught.
56:21
Speaker 3: D'souza added, I leave this all in the hands of whoever could solve it.
56:25
Speaker 3: It is really taking a toll on me, but I've come back from worse than this.
56:29
Speaker 3: Let's hope they capture these people.
56:31
Speaker 3: The sousa, the vice president of animals alive, has spent her life rescuing dogs around the country.
56:36
Speaker 3: She's also a philanthropist who supports several charities and gives free training at her salon in san fernando.
56:42
Speaker 3: So that's the story I was reading about joel.
56:44
Speaker 3: I mean, you know joel to be an animal activist.
56:46
Speaker 3: We also know Joel to be one of the first, at least publicly or widely known transgenders or openly transgender in the country, and the comments on Instagram and things seem to be more about the fact that Joel is transgender and why the people are calling him a she or shimmy him.
57:04
Speaker 3: And if it's a it I didn't realize we were still in that era or still during.
57:09
Speaker 3: I thought we passed them things.
57:10
Speaker 3: And when I say passed them things, I'm not saying passed those things where you have changed your position on whether transgender should be referred to as this, that or the other.
57:21
Speaker 3: I'm talking about past the point where it really don't matter, because if you decide, whatever your position is or my position is on transgender, and whether that position comes from religion or my own feelings or my view of the world, I think we will know we pass this as a people when it really matters.
57:40
Speaker 3: You want so.
57:40
Speaker 3: People seem to be seem to be hung up on the fact that the, the guardian or the express or the different uh blog sites calling joelle she uh.
57:55
Speaker 3: No use to that discussion for me, yeah, and you know.
57:58
Speaker 3: The truth too is that the listeners in this part I kind of know how all they feel too, you know.
58:01
Speaker 3: So I want to get too deep into that.
58:03
Speaker 3: Right the article.
58:03
Speaker 3: Call her what she call her and I call her.
58:06
Speaker 3: I call her too.
58:06
Speaker 3: You call her what you want to call her.
58:09
Speaker 3: Morality story is not what she is.
58:11
Speaker 3: It's what she went through, because that Palmas area has been through several Home invasions like this Several.
58:20
Speaker 3: It is becoming common, and Palmas is a, I want to say Upper scale, higher end real estate in the country is like the south of a little golden triangle between Gulfview, palmas and Bel Air.
58:35
Speaker 3: So the assumption is that, like Joel, the people who live in Palmas do well, they figure something out in life and they do well at it, and they make some good money and they buy some good property, which I aspire to and I would think most of the people, well, most of the people in this podcast, some aspire to it and some done.
58:53
Speaker 3: They already only done rich, and this is why I've been talking about here all the time now I've been talking about this for a long time.
59:02
Speaker 3: You see, joel, attitude towards this I admire, because I don't know that I could have an attitude where I went through something like this a stranger, a short, stranger buck, come and tie me up in my house at gunpoint and take my things and go away.
59:16
Speaker 3: I want to migrate, I want to live, I don't.
59:20
Speaker 3: I maybe I should stop saying that way because it's not something I feel that I'm mentally prepared to survive and maybe I should stop putting it out there and talking about it so much, because it's a fear of mine Outside of all the other things that could happen to you here, this idea that somebody could kick in your wife and your child.
59:36
Speaker 3: That is a scary thought and the approach to this being we will get them and have been through worse and so on, that's admirable to me.
59:43
Speaker 3: That's admirable to me Morally.
59:50
Speaker 3: The story is in trinidad and tobago.
59:52
Speaker 3: When you come to rob you, you're going to be robbed.
59:54
Speaker 3: You will imagine they take your safe.
59:56
Speaker 3: She probably have in the safe will and deed and all them kind of things if I have to make an assumption about that maybe money and jewelry and them thing too.
1:00:03
Speaker 3: But the documents in the, if not irreplaceable the, they're extremely difficult to replace.
1:00:10
Speaker 3: So you have to go through all kinds of things now to get back your documents.
1:00:14
Speaker 3: Listen, headache, headache of the highest order.
1:00:18
Speaker 3: Flashing back now to my boy who's walking from Toko and saying he got robbed, where he shows you a kind of scene where he does a blanker roll and he's out in the bush and he's one thing and he's one fly and the fellas run and then you spend the whole day in the police station and so on.
1:00:32
Speaker 3: I'm wondering how much of that is youths, because this boy's 20 years older.
1:00:39
Speaker 3: Just remember what's happening.
1:00:41
Speaker 3: He's 20, you're not.
1:00:41
Speaker 3: He ain't fully formed yet at 20.
1:00:43
Speaker 3: I'm wondering how much of that is social media games to play thing to get more followers and get more traction for your thing, and how much of that is social media games to play things to get more followers and get more traction for your thing, and how much of that is really getting robbed?
1:00:51
Speaker 3: Because, number one, he's being filmed.
1:00:55
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if he's walking with somebody like he bring a cameraman or a brethren with him to film him, or if along the way he's asking somebody to hold his phone and film for him, along the way he asking somebody to hold his phone and film for him.
1:01:12
Speaker 3: But wherever it is he say he get robbed.
1:01:12
Speaker 3: So the next person who film him if it's not his cameraman we had to take that person, had to take his word for it, the police had to take his word for it and so on and go through the thing.
1:01:19
Speaker 3: But just remember when is this not me being a skeptic?
1:01:22
Speaker 3: This is me reading too much articles about just just his small head getting robbed and Maga hat and rope around his neck and all these kind of things and again robbing and know what it could do for your public profile when you went through them kind of things, so the flip side to that.
1:01:37
Speaker 3: So it was a little bit embarrassing and, as a country, when you see the boy start his pilgrimage and so on, and by day two he got robbed.
1:01:46
Speaker 3: Of course the comments went off that like hell, I don't know where's the real trinidad and the point was to show that trinidad safe and the people good and all those types of things which I would say that at this point he reached real far right.
1:01:57
Speaker 3: I think he reached salt, if I'm not mistaken, like deep salt and um, the last version I saw him post was where the search and rescue, the hunter, search and rescue group, was walking with him and giving him kind of like a protection, basically where there are two cars in front of him, two cars behind him and they're walking with him in a cutlass and all kinds of things.
1:02:19
Speaker 3: You know what I mean Just to make sure that he's safe going through.
1:02:25
Speaker 3: What they want to keep him safe from is not so much people but safe from the hazards of nature and so on, maybe from shark and them things.
1:02:33
Speaker 3: They want to shark bite him and those types of things.
1:02:38
Speaker 3: But what I've seen from viewing him and where I tell you I feel I was wrong.
1:02:40
Speaker 3: Right Is that?
1:02:41
Speaker 3: The point I was coming here to make is that we do like we own, that.
1:02:47
Speaker 3: A white boy could come from germany and walk from toko to stay safe like a hell and walked, walked through the whole country and everybody could show love and carry sandwich and he had so much snacks that he had to set up a snack stall to be able to give away snacks to people when they pass me.
1:03:03
Speaker 3: Because he had too much to carry, people start to give him money.
1:03:06
Speaker 3: A man pass, you have a hundred.
1:03:07
Speaker 3: A matter of fact, he had to come back and say listen, I gain away the money.
1:03:10
Speaker 3: I think he take the money and he buy snacks to give to people, because the point was to walk without money.
1:03:16
Speaker 3: People come in just to meet him and share their story with him and be kind to him and share kindnesses and that kind of thing.
1:03:21
Speaker 3: Right, and which is a beautiful thing to see.
1:03:23
Speaker 3: That is very trinidadian.
1:03:25
Speaker 3: That is the same thing will happen if you walk, if you walk through tobago.
1:03:27
Speaker 3: That is very Trinidadian.
1:03:28
Speaker 3: The same thing will happen if you walk through Tobago.
1:03:29
Speaker 3: That is very much a part of our culture being giving and loving and kind and helping people in need.
1:03:35
Speaker 3: I think that is a huge part of our culture To foreigners, to white people.
1:03:41
Speaker 3: When you see foreigners come here, they could get that kind of treatment.
1:03:44
Speaker 3: But sometimes we don't treat our own like that.
1:03:45
Speaker 3: Because I was looking at a fellow by the name of mark hippolyt.
1:03:48
Speaker 3: I want to salute to mark hippolyt.
1:03:50
Speaker 3: Right, I was looking at his facebook and he does pilgrimages of sorts as well, where he is walking through or doing hikes.
1:04:03
Speaker 3: Right, he's doing walks, hikes, all those different types of things.
1:04:05
Speaker 3: But last last year I think, 2023, his goal was to go up El Takush a hundred times.
1:04:10
Speaker 3: I wanted to understand that he'd only have 365 days in a year and this man went up El Takush a hundred times.
1:04:19
Speaker 3: This is something also that I said I would start doing more of like I want to hike, and you know what I mean.
1:04:24
Speaker 3: Learn the thing and do more outdoors.
1:04:25
Speaker 3: May do one.
1:04:27
Speaker 3: Now.
1:04:27
Speaker 3: This man went el to kush 100 times, along with all the other hikes and walks that he do over the year, and he ever crew up people following him to make a nice little cake for me.
1:04:34
Speaker 3: Do the 100th time, and his goal was to make 100.
1:04:37
Speaker 3: I believe he make 120 something because he keep going.
1:04:40
Speaker 3: If I had make the 100, I done hike for life but he kept going and I was just comparing these two things in my mind.
1:04:47
Speaker 3: How come everybody knows this German youth who is walking across Trinidad but nobody knows who is Mark Hippolyt?
1:04:53
Speaker 3: He doesn't have that public media attention or that blog attention or the average person knowing who he is.
1:05:00
Speaker 3: I wonder sometimes if when he's walking here, people stop him to tell him they support him and they want to give him a kiss cake and give him a 100 G and that type of things.
1:05:09
Speaker 3: I wonder sometimes if we really love our own people or if we just hate ourselves and we love foreigners.
1:05:16
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
1:05:16
Speaker 3: I wonder if Mark Hippolyt could get Hunter's Rescue Association to work with him going on.
1:05:21
Speaker 3: But I realize I might be wrong about that, because if I was to talk to somebody like Mark Hippolyt which I intend to do right or people like the Hunters Rescue Association and people like that, you might find that what the theory really might be is that we are so kind to ourselves on a day to day and on a normal basis that it cannot make the news.
1:05:43
Speaker 3: It only makes the news because it's a foreigner, but it's such the norm that it's just not newsworthy.
1:05:49
Speaker 3: So if I, for instance, say I go and walk across trinidad, uh, with no money, no help, no, nothing, I may not get the type of social media attention that gets the guy from here.
1:06:00
Speaker 3: And I walk across mangas, you're a damn fool.
1:06:02
Speaker 3: You walk across in a rubber, ding, ding, walking across the whole country, taking wet and blood and all but building rain and sun.
1:06:08
Speaker 3: For what?
1:06:09
Speaker 3: As far as I know?
1:06:10
Speaker 3: As far as I know, an old man, a little boy and a donkey was walking across the country.
1:06:15
Speaker 3: I'm going to play that for you before I leave, too, right, but you know it's not newsworthy because we're from here and we know what it is and so on.
1:06:21
Speaker 3: But I suspect that I will have the same kindness, or kindnesses, afforded to me.
1:06:28
Speaker 3: I remember recording an episode a couple months ago that talk about the, the multi-religious, multi-racial, multi-ethnic society that trinidad is and the uniqueness of trinidad and tobago.
1:06:38
Speaker 3: Because we not we don't just have all these things, we partake in all these things.
1:06:42
Speaker 3: And it's like this youth man walk from toko and within the first three or four days he's sleeping at church and I'm man dear.
1:06:50
Speaker 3: He get blessed by a baptist leader.
1:06:52
Speaker 3: You understand he eat food with the police.
1:06:54
Speaker 3: You understand it's such.
1:06:56
Speaker 3: Maybe, maybe and maybe in my initial thoughts I wasn't given enough credit to the way our society really works.
1:07:03
Speaker 3: I want to hear a little something.
1:07:04
Speaker 3: That's not.
1:07:05
Speaker 3: If you were to make that kind of a walk, you don't think you will end up with that same um, with that same kind of experience that is this german had just again.
1:07:16
Speaker 3: Nobody ain't putting you on social media because you, number one, you're looking like a trini, nothing, nothing about you, looking unique enough for us to say we're gonna put it out there in any kind of way.
1:07:25
Speaker 3: But I do feel as if those kindnesses like and and you see it a lot if you stay in tongue too much when I say tongue, portisbane, scarborough, chagonas, san fernando or rima, if you stay there a little too much, you might get a false sense of trinidadianness.
1:07:44
Speaker 3: But when you go out in the country and people share their food with you and you go to pick mango and I'm hunting and nobody make no fuss and you, you live like that, you might, you might, you might be able to remember, remind yourself what, um, what trend that I'm to be good, like.
1:08:00
Speaker 3: I always have this experience going to my arrow right and I want to feel like a country boy somehow I don't know what about me could ever pass for a country boy.
1:08:08
Speaker 3: But I remember the last time I went to my arrow daddy and the whole family, we went to our weekend and I was walking out from the house to go by the fishing village.
1:08:15
Speaker 3: I like to go in the fishing village and get some fish on them thing.
1:08:17
Speaker 3: You know, I mean partake in the in the village and when I was walking going, a fellow, a fellow walking coming down the road and I say all right morning.
1:08:27
Speaker 3: He say all right morning.
1:08:28
Speaker 3: He say all right, man, enjoy my arrow.
1:08:29
Speaker 3: I say all right, man, thanks, I appreciate it.
1:08:31
Speaker 3: And I didn't like that, you know.
1:08:32
Speaker 3: I said what the hell do you mean enjoy my arrow?
1:08:34
Speaker 3: Like if me from here, but the tongue is written all over my face, he know fully well me from nowhere, looking like country, my hands off.
1:08:46
Speaker 3: But you're more happy to have me there and I feel like that is more of how we are as Trinbegonians.
1:09:20
Speaker 5: Sometimes we're just happy to have somebody here and to share with them and to partake and break bread with them, and so on.
1:09:32
Speaker 6: So long and short of this story is I had to call myself a hypocrite and I'm going back to my talking songs to do such oh, la-da-dee-la-da-da-da-dee, la-da-dee-la-da-da-dee, la-da-dee-la-da-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-.

1:12:49
Speaker 2: Great trick and all right.
1:12:51
Speaker 3: Great trick and all Listen 200 episodes and maybe that's the first time I've ever played a trick and all.
1:13:09
Speaker 3: What have I been doing?
1:13:10
Speaker 3: What have I been up to?
1:13:11
Speaker 3: That is a lot of time wasted for one of the greatest groups, if not the greatest group in Calypso any history.
1:13:18
Speaker 3: I must have played a trick and all before Leave a reminder.
1:13:19
Speaker 3: I can't remember, but there must be an episode dedicated to the greatness of this trick and all.
1:13:24
Speaker 3: I want to move on to more youth and more greatness here.
1:13:36
Speaker 3: Investors go after influencers for half a million claim Ponzi scheme.
1:13:38
Speaker 3: A pre-action protocol letter has been sent to social media influencer Israel Marcos Mark, surrounding allegations of fraud.
1:13:45
Speaker 3: Several individuals, namely Kavita Raghunanam Kumar, simongal Kumar Sigulam, ashley Sigumal, vitra Maraj aka Vitra Maraj Sigulam, kavita Maraj, suresh Maraj and Savita Maharaj all names Maharaj have engaged the services of Kamina Ramraj, kamina Ramraj and Joseph Sukuz to treat with the matter.
1:14:10
Speaker 3: The letter, which is dated April 12th and signed by Ramlal, has listed Mark aka Israel, xavier Enrique Mark, as well as Christina Amon and Marcos Global Limited, as defendants in the matter.
1:14:28
Speaker 3: The writing is smaller.
1:14:28
Speaker 3: In the letter, it was alleged that the claimants had paid various funds between April 1st and July 5th 2023, which amounted to 550,000, to Marcos Global Limited as part of an investment program done by the company In the recent past and leading up to the events stated in this letter, you have described yourself as a millionaire, 22 years old, operating a business that you scaled up to six figures monthly, and otherwise as someone who has bolstered his reputation on social media stunts involving acts of purported charity in response to response to goodwill shown by to you, by strangers in particular, while you have portrayed yourself as a wealthy and successful businessman, both you, both your businesses and or the means by which you accrued your alleged wealth, have been reported vague, uh, unsubstantiated and otherwise uncorroborated.
1:15:36
Speaker 3: Let me read that again.
1:15:37
Speaker 3: Right, if I know how to read the way you have acquired your wealth has been reported vague, unsubstantiated and otherwise uncorroborated.
1:15:47
Speaker 3: You didn't want to check this before you put half a million dollars into this youth man.
1:15:52
Speaker 3: The claimants are a group of friends and family members who, over during the period of April 1st good day to start 2023 and July 5th 2023, paid various sums between the amongst the 25 000 and 100 000 each inter scheme, otherwise known as mula caribbean.
1:16:13
Speaker 3: Now I want to say this right, I I spent some time on this um on an episode some time ago praising this youth man because he was on social media talking about the very things that they say in here, right, saying that he was able to, or explaining how he was able to, amass his wealth.
1:16:30
Speaker 3: He drives several very high-end vehicles and and shows off high-end real estate and that kind of thing.
1:16:35
Speaker 3: Young, young fellow, 22 years old, black man like me, and he doing good.
1:16:39
Speaker 3: I will always feel good about that, right, I will always give the benefits of the doubt where that is concerned.
1:16:45
Speaker 3: So I spent some time talking about him on the episode and basically saying like what if this man do good?
1:16:51
Speaker 3: And he came out and said he does digital marketing, right?
1:16:54
Speaker 3: Coincidentally, I have a class in digital marketing.
1:16:56
Speaker 3: Now I want to tell the students in that digital marketing class that the likelihood of you starting a business scaling up to $100,000 a month US dollars is what you're talking about.
1:17:06
Speaker 3: That is difficult, right, I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's difficult.
1:17:12
Speaker 3: But if there's anybody who I feel could do it, it's these youths now, because they have found avenues to earn revenue that we didn't have access to.
1:17:21
Speaker 3: I don't think we would have think of it or have access to it and we couldn't get it done, for instance, being YouTubers, social media influencers and so on these youths living in a different time now, globally.
1:17:32
Speaker 3: If you go and look at these stats now, they have more young, million self-made young, young, self-made millionaires now than any other time in history.
1:17:40
Speaker 3: That will probably continue to be the case as we go along.
1:17:42
Speaker 3: Right, because they have more avenues for them to go direct to consumer, and several different reasons.
1:17:47
Speaker 3: Right, but they're doing good.
1:17:48
Speaker 3: So I see the youth man doing good.
1:17:49
Speaker 3: He driving, sweet and taken.
1:17:50
Speaker 3: Uh, in my very simple mind, it is very difficult to fake that for very long.
1:17:56
Speaker 3: So once I see you doing it, I'll say nice, that's good.
1:17:58
Speaker 3: If that's how you get through with it and you're helping other people do it, great.
1:18:02
Speaker 3: What I will also say I can't remember if I said this in the episode then it's that it's going to be very hard for this 22-year-old to get $25,000 out of my dollars what's he at?
1:18:14
Speaker 3: $500,000 out of me and my friend's dollars to invest in anything named Moolah Caribbean.
1:18:19
Speaker 3: I could be glad for you from a distance.
1:18:21
Speaker 3: I am not one of those people who see people who are very successful.
1:18:25
Speaker 3: I celebrate people who succeed, but it's not like I want a slice of it.
1:18:30
Speaker 3: I don't have that in me and maybe that's why I will be naive and be glad for them and assume that they're not under no scheme and thing, because if they're under scheme it's not going to affect me, because it's not like if Marcos Richard 22 and driving Porsche and them kind of thing, I drive a Civic, right, and I'm okay with my Civic.
1:18:50
Speaker 3: I'm glad that this youth man is driving, but I don't want to take my Civic money and put it in that and then end up having to walk across Trinidad and Tobago and get so-and-so rubbed.
1:19:06
Speaker 3: I'm good.
1:19:08
Speaker 3: I'm good with my little Civic.
1:19:09
Speaker 3: I like my little Polo shirt.
1:19:10
Speaker 3: I like my little.
1:19:10
Speaker 3: You see, I have my little polo shirt.
1:19:11
Speaker 3: I like my little polo shirt.
1:19:11
Speaker 3: I like brand name things.
1:19:12
Speaker 3: I cannot afford Gucci and Louis Vuitton and Alexander McQueen.
1:19:15
Speaker 3: I cannot afford them things and I okay, okay, not affording them.
1:19:20
Speaker 3: I, living in a flat house, three bedroom, hdc style, I good.
1:19:25
Speaker 3: I like my house bad.
1:19:25
Speaker 3: I like home here.
1:19:26
Speaker 3: I love my home.
1:19:27
Speaker 3: You understand, I don't watch what people have and envy.
1:19:31
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that these people envy us.
1:19:33
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that I don't really envy what people have.
1:19:36
Speaker 3: I watch what people have and I aspire to be like them.
1:19:39
Speaker 3: When I see Marcos doing it, I say, boy, I like that, I like how he gets through with them things.
1:19:44
Speaker 3: When I look at what he's doing, I say, boy, that is not something I could necessarily do or I'm willing to do at this point in time.
1:19:49
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
1:19:49
Speaker 3: But a glad fame.
1:19:51
Speaker 3: That is kind of where my aspiration or view of that stops until I get more information about you.
1:19:59
Speaker 3: So I remember people telling me back then when I did the episode it's like, boy, you're naive, now you could seize a scammer.
1:20:04
Speaker 3: How are you making that kind of money?
1:20:06
Speaker 3: Somebody asked me at the time how long you in business now.
1:20:09
Speaker 3: I said about 15, 20 years.
1:20:12
Speaker 3: He said you driving a Porsche and living.
1:20:13
Speaker 3: I was like, no, and listen, I'll be frank, I'm not close to it either.
1:20:18
Speaker 3: It's not like if I'm on the route to that and I could see my way to two Range Rover and a Porsche, I'm nowhere close to it at this point in time.
1:20:26
Speaker 3: Right, uh, do I think I would get there?
1:20:29
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, that's the intention.
1:20:31
Speaker 3: I don't know if I like cars enough to go and say I drive, I buy and I drive and no portion them kind of things.
1:20:36
Speaker 3: But I only only know me enough.
1:20:38
Speaker 3: One percent is the goal, that's, that's the intention.
1:20:40
Speaker 3: I want to be generationally wealthy, whether whether I'm here to see it or not.
1:20:45
Speaker 3: But so they tell me, I'm naive and I'm watching marcos, and at 22, you ain't achieved these things at 44.
1:20:49
Speaker 3: But this 22 year old, all of a sudden I was like, well, why not?
1:20:52
Speaker 3: But apparently, and nothing, everything now is still alleged, because marcos, of course, says he's done nothing wrong and he even on social media, making more um, comments on stories and them kind of thing, basically saying things that I, when you're young, you're young, but if it's me and I in court for something, I'm not talking about that at all.
1:21:12
Speaker 3: I frighten like hell.
1:21:13
Speaker 3: I talking to the lawyer, I frighten all when I write.
1:21:15
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
1:21:16
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't like court and all this sort of battle.
1:21:19
Speaker 3: I don't like it.
1:21:19
Speaker 3: But he basically come out and do a video the other day and when he talk he's real snort and sniff, he's real annoying.
1:21:27
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I've never seen anything as annoying as that.
1:21:32
Speaker 3: To be honest, I don't know how you can invest in somebody If you're snorting so much.
1:21:35
Speaker 3: I'm not investing, I don't have no money.
1:21:40
Speaker 3: Invest in a Vicks, invest in an inhaler you know what I mean, invest in some Claritin.
1:21:44
Speaker 3: But these people went and invested this man and he basically, while they have already reported on this lawsuit, coming on and saying people don't understand what investment is and people just want to get into investments as if they can, which is true.
1:21:59
Speaker 3: Anything that you're investing in, equity investments, right once you're investing in a company, and those you stand to lose, or you can lose all your money, everything that you invest in a venture you could lose.
1:22:10
Speaker 3: Do we enter into it with the intention to lose?
1:22:14
Speaker 3: No, but the possibility is that you could lose.
1:22:20
Speaker 3: The possibility is that you could lose.
1:22:26
Speaker 3: There's always that risk and it's why the financial advisors anybody in finance will tell you a portfolio is where you want to, what you want to get to with your money.
1:22:37
Speaker 3: So if you have $500,000 among a group of friends, people will tell you that, like people like Nick Dean Salute my Boy Prevac, salute my Boy Hinks and all them people in finance, they will probably advise you that most of that pie, that $500,000 pie, should be put into safe and recoverable liquid investments, like bonds and so on, that are going to pay you a certain amount of money a year and interest and you can't lose it, meaning you want to grow the $ into a million, yes, but what you don't want to do is put it in things that's so risky that you end up losing the 500 and you go nowhere.
1:23:16
Speaker 3: So they will tell you to put 60, 70% in bonds and T-bills and these kind of things, put X amount into stocks and shares of reputable companies and they will tell you to take a slither of the pie Slither Like a diet kind of slither, like when you, when you see you want to lose weight and they tell you take a slither cheesecake, them fellas go tell you take a slither your pie and put that into your own business and risky ventures and so on.
1:23:40
Speaker 3: Better you grow that because a lot of people who talk about finance like to say high risk, high reward, when that is not.
1:23:50
Speaker 3: That is not actually the statement, right?
1:23:53
Speaker 3: The?
1:23:54
Speaker 3: The state statement is high risk, high potential reward.
1:24:00
Speaker 3: Somehow people forget that word potential in the mix.
1:24:02
Speaker 3: You have a high potential but you also have a higher probability that you will lose part there of all your money.
1:24:10
Speaker 3: But to these people, I hope all of you get through it, marcos, Marcos, I hope you ain't do nothing wrong.
1:24:14
Speaker 3: I hope everybody become whole and don't unpress everybody in that situation, right?
1:24:19
Speaker 3: But the statement that's standing out to me here is where all the lawyers say that reporting of your wealth is vague and unsubstantiated and uncorroborated.
1:24:32
Speaker 3: And I want to know where along the line Oli realized this, when Oli was putting $25,000 at a time to reach $500,000.
1:24:41
Speaker 3: I also want to know, like, if you have $500,000, and there's poor people speaking right, there's big guys who have it If I have $500,000, why are you giving marco's that like there's no chance?
1:24:52
Speaker 3: If I have 500 now I go in by hinkston and fellas and t bill the hell out of that 500, because that is good, proper money to me.
1:24:59
Speaker 3: That is a down payment for a very big house savings.
1:25:02
Speaker 3: I can leave.
1:25:02
Speaker 3: I could put away that for zachary.
1:25:04
Speaker 3: I could I go and put that 500 000 in massey them kind of shares and give them dividends and live, all right, but they're people's people.
1:25:12
Speaker 3: Another young black entrepreneur that I like to look at a lot on social media is a fellow by the name of Geodesigns.
1:25:17
Speaker 3: Right, if you know Geodesigns, he's a fellow who is always going around selling clothes and his brand name things.
1:25:23
Speaker 3: His name is Geodesigns right and he's always saying people want the goods, I can't eat in peace.
1:25:29
Speaker 3: They call him for the goods.
1:25:30
Speaker 3: And then he's always showing that jersey and he collects the money.
1:25:32
Speaker 3: He said don't give me the money, check the goods, make sure you're good.
1:25:35
Speaker 3: I like the fellow vibe a lot.
1:25:37
Speaker 3: I never buy anything from Geodesigns right which will change.
1:25:41
Speaker 3: I'll change that but I like things like that.
1:25:46
Speaker 3: My first instinct is not scam.
1:25:49
Speaker 3: My first instinct is like what my first instinct was with Marcos you're doing good, so glad for you.
1:25:54
Speaker 3: Glad somebody get through that.
1:25:55
Speaker 3: Let me see if I can find it.
1:25:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, paulistace, he must be moving.
1:26:04
Speaker 3: I have a shoe here.
1:26:04
Speaker 3: It's called Classics Republic, little trend that they use.
1:26:07
Speaker 3: They design a thing.
1:26:08
Speaker 3: They designed for a brand I like called Sire Collective.
1:26:11
Speaker 3: I wear their shoes all the time.
1:26:12
Speaker 3: A fellow in California who's doing his own brand and Classic Republic.
1:26:16
Speaker 3: I think they won a competition with him designing.
1:26:18
Speaker 3: He had put out a kind of design for his shoes and gave other shoe designers the opportunity to compete by submitting their designs.
1:26:25
Speaker 3: They won something in that and they have their shoes.
1:26:30
Speaker 3: We'll try to see if I have it on hand for the next episode.
1:26:31
Speaker 3: I think I showed it here already.
1:26:33
Speaker 3: I like things like that.
1:26:34
Speaker 3: I like a man who gets through something and figures out something, but it's so hard to do when you see somebody winning and do good with it.
1:26:39
Speaker 3: I want to celebrate it one time but apparently not everybody Because I saw on Geodesign's page today and as he would usually do, giving out his rental cars or his brand, and I'm so glad for this brother.
1:26:56
Speaker 3: I want to see him become the next Alexander McQueen, ralph Lauren.
1:27:00
Speaker 3: I want to see him do great and I can be proud to say that he's a Trini.
1:27:03
Speaker 3: You know what I mean that man do good.
1:27:04
Speaker 3: All this was leading to material.
1:27:06
Speaker 3: Trinidadians hate one another, but on his Instagram he posts a conversation or some comments between him and somebody by the name of Frank Drew.
1:27:18
Speaker 3: And while he's posting his thing on the Nauti Jersey and thing, frank Drew posts Washing some good money there.
1:27:24
Speaker 3: Boy, he had a special respect for people who hate at that level.
1:27:30
Speaker 3: So he responded and said hate him.
1:27:32
Speaker 3: And Frank Drew said me ain't hating on your game, but no way Trinidadians have enough geodesigns apparel to justify certain things they're claiming.
1:27:41
Speaker 3: Else, a bigger conglomerate would have bought geodesigns and you just working on commissions.
1:27:47
Speaker 3: What the hell are you doing?
1:27:49
Speaker 3: I want to read that again.
1:27:51
Speaker 3: This is to me that the people are sticking their way me hating on your game.
1:27:55
Speaker 3: But no, no way, trinidad, have enough geodesigns apparel to justify certain things.
1:28:00
Speaker 3: You're claiming.
1:28:01
Speaker 3: Else a bigger conglomerate would have bought geodesigns and you just working on commission.
1:28:05
Speaker 3: So you're trying to say that even if he was that successful, somebody would have buy business from him now and tell him he's an employee.
1:28:11
Speaker 3: This has nothing to do with how you see in GO, this is how you see in yourself.
1:28:15
Speaker 3: He said I applaud these guys.
1:28:17
Speaker 3: Just if the right people recognize it, it's going to be an issue for you and your financier.
1:28:25
Speaker 3: No hating, no hating here, just applause.
1:28:29
Speaker 3: I so can feel.
1:28:31
Speaker 3: Let me give you applause because that that that's special geo posted and he's saying been grinding so hard and making the right financial decisions and still have people like this that think I'm doing something illegal.
1:28:43
Speaker 3: What are they thinking about this clown?
1:28:44
Speaker 3: It's just so interesting to see how people is thinking, how people you're going about your life good and on you trying to and and and geo.
1:28:56
Speaker 3: Apart of his brand, he had to advertise on social media and make his advertising.
1:29:00
Speaker 3: Is people actually buying from him, collecting the thing people.
1:29:03
Speaker 3: People started come up.
1:29:04
Speaker 3: Now it's telling him about what he gets people buying it for, the experience he creates and when he delivered the products, which is part of it.
1:29:11
Speaker 3: I teach in digital marketing now that is not just about the product you sell.
1:29:16
Speaker 3: It's about the experience that you could create for people, because anybody could make a brand name jersey.
1:29:21
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, any brand name you make.
1:29:24
Speaker 3: Now I could get a replica of that brand name.
1:29:26
Speaker 3: That is going to be very, very hard for you to differentiate, certainly from a distance and even up close in some cases.
1:29:34
Speaker 3: I was talking to a partner recently who told me he have a collection of high end watch replicas and he was even saying that when he carried them in to change the battery and them kind of thing, he said some watch aficionados can't tell that it's a replica until they open it and they look inside.
1:29:55
Speaker 3: So geodesigns making shoes or jerseys or hats and them kind of things that very replicable is what I'm saying.
1:30:04
Speaker 3: What is not easy to copy is the brand experience, and a part of his brand experience is he come out in an umbrella.
1:30:11
Speaker 3: He say let me come out in my umbrella rain falling, I ain't gonna get wet.
1:30:14
Speaker 3: Come and check your goods for yourself, take your goods for yourself.
1:30:17
Speaker 3: He bought five shades and he say pick your shades, pick your shades, what are you feeling for?
1:30:20
Speaker 3: One time he had earbuds.
1:30:22
Speaker 3: He say what are you feeling for?
1:30:23
Speaker 3: The teal or the black?
1:30:24
Speaker 3: What feeling for?
1:30:25
Speaker 3: And the man creates a whole vibe around his brand that is impossible to replicate.
1:30:29
Speaker 3: Anybody could make earbuds, not anybody could make geo.
1:30:33
Speaker 3: So I don't understand this notion or this mentality that you could just ups and decide and not just ups and decide in your heart and in your mind.
1:30:41
Speaker 3: Ups and decide and have enough time and strength and willingness to pose that to a man.
1:30:46
Speaker 3: Instead of you telling the man, boy, I so glad you're doing it, ask him.
1:30:49
Speaker 3: Say, boy, how you do this, boy, how you make it, I want to make jersey and thing too.
1:30:55
Speaker 3: My experience has been that other people who are doing things successfully right, like you say, you know somebody who's a fat promoter and you want to throw fat A lot of times, just ask a man, just a lot of times.
1:31:10
Speaker 3: Just ask a man you know.
1:31:10
Speaker 3: Just see the fed pro, like see jules somewhere, and just ask him.
1:31:12
Speaker 3: You know, don't, don't doubt the power of that you will find people who don't want, they don't have the time to talk to you or they don't want to make the time or they're not interested in trying to help you or anything like that.
1:31:22
Speaker 3: But I want to tell you that, just like that fellow who, walking from trinidad, from toco, to the south, most Trinidadians is good people who are willing to help.
1:31:31
Speaker 3: And if you, if you have a, you bounce up Jules, you bounce up Sheppy and them, where's the other fellas?
1:31:36
Speaker 3: In any one of the Kyrie people, you bounce up Hoppy, you want to know what radio station, and you're like, just ask them, just ask them, just ask them.
1:31:47
Speaker 3: You might get somebody, might tell you no and what you want to know.
1:31:49
Speaker 3: That for they do at the time which is understandable, they don't owe you anything.
1:31:53
Speaker 3: But I want to tell you, like anything you see somebody doing and you feel like you want to do too, or even if you don't understand, just ask them.
1:32:02
Speaker 3: What I will warn you is, even with geo, don't take 500, 000 and just give him and invest in that, and how they end up in court and thing you know.
1:32:08
Speaker 3: I mean, don't take 500,000 and just give him and invest in that and end up in court.
1:32:09
Speaker 3: Don't do that.
1:32:11
Speaker 3: You might want to do it.
1:32:12
Speaker 3: Due diligence before you invest in somebody's business.
1:32:15
Speaker 3: But if you're seeing somebody doing something online, don't let the first thought be that the man is a scammer, the man is this and that, and if you feel like the person is that, don't go and put your money there to find out.
1:32:27
Speaker 3: There are easier and cheaper ways to find things out.
1:32:34
Speaker 3: But again, this episode is about talk and king fighter said it best.
1:32:36
Speaker 3: King fighter said no matter what you do, people go talk, not only here in the West Indies.
1:33:00
Speaker 3: But I find people is hard to please.
1:33:04
Speaker 7: This is really true, don't matter where you do.
1:33:07
Speaker 7: I ain't talking nonsense, this is practical experience.
1:33:12
Speaker 7: Don't mind how you try, they will criticize and I don't know why.
1:33:17
Speaker 7: If you're changing steady and you're looking fancy, they will see how you're showing off, and if you're keeping yourself like a pageant, they will watch and laugh.
1:33:27
Speaker 7: But I'm falling off and I ain't watching, no man, I'm just doing to suit myself, cause if it's not how you're dressing, the way that you walk, the people will talk.
1:33:37
Speaker 7: Take, for instance, when I was small.
1:33:49
Speaker 7: Every day is a bacchanal.
1:33:52
Speaker 7: Well, I always misbehaving With expression and street fighting.
1:33:56
Speaker 7: Well, they talk all over the place.
1:33:59
Speaker 7: I was so bad on the outer place, now I play cool and easy.
1:34:02
Speaker 7: Well, the outer place and I'm playing cool and easy.
1:34:03
Speaker 7: Well, the same people say how I'm stupid, how I can't even fight.
1:34:08
Speaker 7: So I'm stepping light with my shoes and shoes on my feet and I'm playing at this and I'm playing at that.
1:34:14
Speaker 7: I like a girl with skin swelling, sweet, but I'm calling up and I ain't watching.
1:34:18
Speaker 7: No man, I'm just doing to suit myself, cause if it's not of your dress, it's the way that you walk.
1:34:24
Speaker 7: The people will talk.
1:34:26
Speaker 7: If a man have an ugly head like Gilbryner, they will laugh till they nearly dead.
1:34:41
Speaker 7: Any way he turn, look the clean head man.
1:34:47
Speaker 7: But if your head goes looking like mine, they will say that's a nice design.
1:34:51
Speaker 7: Nothing in this world like you can please people with at all.
1:34:55
Speaker 7: If you're changing steady and you're looking fancy, they will see how you're showing off, and if you're keeping yourself like a pageant, they will watch and laugh.
1:35:05
Speaker 7: But I've fallen in love and I ain't watching.
1:35:08
Speaker 7: No man.
1:35:08
Speaker 7: I'm just doing to suit myself, because if it's not how you dress, it's the way that you walk, leaping through a jar In 1961,.
1:35:37
Speaker 7: I was living in Chantelton.
1:35:39
Speaker 7: Some people say how I'm going mad To choose the worst place in Trinidad.
1:35:44
Speaker 7: I leave the place and I went up San Fernando.
1:35:46
Speaker 7: I buy a big fancy bungalow.
1:35:49
Speaker 7: Friends, I wouldn't lie.
1:35:51
Speaker 7: The same people say how I'm flying high.
1:35:54
Speaker 7: If you're changing steady and you're looking fancy, they will see how you're showing off and if you're keeping yourself like a bad John, they will watch and laugh.
1:36:03
Speaker 7: But I'm calling a plan.
1:36:04
Speaker 7: I say how you showing up and if you're keeping yourself like a bad job, they will watch and laugh.
1:36:07
Speaker 7: But I'm calling a plan.
1:36:07
Speaker 7: I ain't watching no man, I'm just doing to suit myself Because you look black like tar or white like a chum.
1:36:14
Speaker 8: The people will come.
1:36:15
Speaker 8: The people will come.
1:36:22
Speaker 3: You know, it's the Dentist Make-A-Leg-A episode full of talking.
1:36:26
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
1:36:30
Speaker 3: Foremost, I want to salute the Well, I saw the meeting happening with Caricom Heads of Government and it was a special meeting I believe held in Guyana.
1:36:49
Speaker 3: I want to say about West Indies cricket right, salute to Kern Daddy, everybody who were actually supporting West Indies, and the diehards and so on.
1:36:56
Speaker 3: Salute to all of you All.
1:36:58
Speaker 3: Right, we're going to win.
1:36:59
Speaker 3: We're going to win.
1:37:00
Speaker 3: We're going to win.
1:37:01
Speaker 3: I try to stay positive with my talk in this thing.
1:37:02
Speaker 3: We're going to win the World Cup.
1:37:03
Speaker 3: Right, it's the World Cup, but whatever it is, the West Indies play now.
1:37:07
Speaker 3: They were meeting about West Indies cricket and getting it back to where it needs to be.
1:37:10
Speaker 3: I want to believe they said there was a heartfelt appeal made by Michael Holden to get cricket back.
1:37:15
Speaker 3: Michael Holden seemed to be crying.
1:37:16
Speaker 3: Everything he said In your whole age, when you see a side guy in your whole age, you reflect on your career and the greatness that you achieve and think you're bound to cry, michael, we're a little quick to tears these days, but a passionate speech about getting West Indies cricket back where it needs to be as a developmental tool for the youth, as a tool to bring the region together, If not just for the cricket and the greatness and the happiness and joy it brings to all of us.
1:37:40
Speaker 3: But coming out of it I was pleasantly surprised, to be honest.
1:37:44
Speaker 3: Coming out of it wasn't just a mandate or a plan for how the West Indies cricket will go back to the glory days, and the glory days for me was Ambrose and Walsh and Richard Richardson and Viv Richards and them fellas.
1:37:59
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
1:37:59
Speaker 3: If you talk to my father, he's describing a whole different set of glory days that would have gone on for a long, long time in terms of the dominance of West Indies cricket.
1:38:08
Speaker 3: I think youths know and when I say youths, anybody under 40 would only see West Indies lost and it's kind of sad to see.
1:38:16
Speaker 3: But coming out of fixing that, I was pleasantly surprised to see the announcement of a Guyana-backed world Premier League that could bowl off in 2024.
1:38:26
Speaker 3: I like that, I like that, I like that, I like that.
1:38:29
Speaker 3: I understand the CPL and what it brings to the table and so on.
1:38:33
Speaker 3: But a world Premier League Guyana money like dirt these days, right, and the money that they have small compared to the money that they will have and the development that they will see.
1:38:40
Speaker 3: So now is a good time for one of the wealthiest countries in the Caribbean.
1:38:44
Speaker 3: Whenever we have a country in the Caribbean that is wealthy, that is willing to look after the institutions of the Caribbean, I feel we're in a good place.
1:38:56
Speaker 3: So I'm reading from Gassi Merrick here.
1:38:57
Speaker 3: He says the Guyana Cricket Board has approached Cricket West Indies about the possibility of introducing a new T20 franchise tournament in the region that will attract the top global T20 teams to the Caribbean.
1:39:08
Speaker 3: The announcement was made by Guyana President, dr Mohamed Oufanali, a man I like a lot, during a virtual address on day one of the Caricom Regional Cricket Conference held at the Hyatt Regency oh, it was here, sorry it wasn't in Ghana Under the banner of reinvigorating West Indies cricket.
1:39:27
Speaker 3: You know I'm talking right, I'm a mouth getting tired, real time.
1:39:31
Speaker 3: Like you see, the numb part it's starting to fall away.
1:39:35
Speaker 3: So before I catch a stroke I can't move nothing.
1:39:37
Speaker 3: We're wrapping up this quick, but in Guyana we are working with Cricket West Indies and CPL and the ICC to launch a new product for the region that will position the region in the global market the World Premier League.
1:39:53
Speaker 3: We're hoping can replace what used to be the Champions League.
1:39:57
Speaker 3: That league would have the best sides coming together to play to recognize the best team in franchise cricket.
1:40:03
Speaker 3: This article jumping all over the place, these news sites like CNT3, them, want you to read the news.
1:40:11
Speaker 3: I feel like they don't like you to read nothing again.
1:40:14
Speaker 3: While the full details of the new proposal are still being finalized, cwi Chief Executive Officer Johnny Grave confirmed that the tournament could come to fruition as early as the latter part of 2024.
1:40:29
Speaker 3: Grave said the proposal has already received the blessing of Cricket, west Indies and the Caribbean Premier League, as is contractually required.
1:40:40
Speaker 3: As is contractually required, we've received a proposal from Guyana about establishing a new event in the Caribbean where the franchise, when the franchise leagues in the world would come together and participate over a relatively short period.
1:40:51
Speaker 3: I can't read no more.
1:40:53
Speaker 3: In a nutshell, the Champions League.
1:40:55
Speaker 3: At one point in time, champions League of Cricket was bringing, like the top two teams in the franchise cricket, t20 tournaments like CPL and IPL and Australian Big Bash and so on.
1:41:07
Speaker 3: They would have a tournament, a playoff among the champions, just like Champions League football.
1:41:12
Speaker 3: Right, champions League football is limited to at least UEFA.
1:41:16
Speaker 3: Champions is limited to the federations.
1:41:19
Speaker 3: So UEFA is the one in europe.
1:41:21
Speaker 3: I want to say like, uh, every federation have their own version of champions league.
1:41:28
Speaker 3: Of course, the european one is the most popular right.
1:41:30
Speaker 3: I believe real madrid and them still in that they have a few teams in it.
1:41:34
Speaker 3: I believe real and city and two other teams who nobody paid much attention to, still still in the champions league right and they also have, like UE4, they have one that everybody Is expecting Bayern Leverkusen to win UE4.
1:41:47
Speaker 3: It's that two right One for the premier guys, the ones who come first to fourth in most of the Big leagues, and then the people who come fifth and sixth.
1:41:57
Speaker 3: Is that Europa Cup?
1:41:58
Speaker 3: I feel like cricket Missing that space since the Cricket Champions League that they had globally.
1:42:04
Speaker 3: It wouldn't make sense doing it based on federations.
1:42:08
Speaker 3: I think it makes sense what they're proposing here.
1:42:11
Speaker 3: I'm glad they said 2024 too, because this is the kind of idea you want to execute and own very, very quickly, where you can get your top two IPL teams, your top two CPL and wherever they've recognized leagues.
1:42:25
Speaker 3: I believe Bangladesh have won.
1:42:26
Speaker 3: England, australia, all the cricketing nations have a T20 club tournament.
1:42:30
Speaker 3: The only difficulty I've seen in this and I figure is why the Champions League had come to a pause eventually.
1:42:37
Speaker 3: I believe they only did that a few times.
1:42:38
Speaker 3: They did that Champions League and I remember if it's Red Steel was the name of the team at the time, trinidad had a team that went there and play.
1:42:44
Speaker 3: One of the issues is because franchise cricket is journeyman cricket, where bravo is on the team that win in trinidad for the cpl but he also on the team that win in ipl.
1:42:58
Speaker 3: Uh, just using him as an example, right, I think he in retirement mode now, but you had to wonder if you do a Champions League and the IPL team had to play the Trinidad team, who the players would play for, because India owns their players and they don't allow their players to play in any other international T20 league.
1:43:15
Speaker 3: So that settles that.
1:43:18
Speaker 3: But in terms of the top West Indian players like Sunil Narayan and so on, who coincidentally turned on every opportunity or every invitation or every bag they send his way to play for the uh, the world cup, he said he's done with that, he's not going through it again.
1:43:31
Speaker 3: But somebody like him who playing in all those different leagues, or kyron pollard would have played in all them leagues, where exactly they will play, how they will choose which team they play for.
1:43:41
Speaker 3: Nonetheless, once the Iron, or the Kings, like that, are associated with this, I think it's a great initiative.
1:43:46
Speaker 3: I hope that the Caribbean comes to own this tournament, whether it's through Cricket, west Indies Government or Guyana.
1:43:54
Speaker 3: It could be a serious revenue provider for the owner of this and for the region.
1:43:58
Speaker 3: By extension.
1:43:59
Speaker 3: I also hope that they will try to they don't do the the west indian thing of trying to stifle things by keeping it in these little territories that only have a million people.
1:44:08
Speaker 3: Do it in the caribbean once, yes, but treat it like a world cup where people could bid to host the tournament.
1:44:14
Speaker 3: We still own it.
1:44:16
Speaker 3: Let me be the fifa the thing.
1:44:17
Speaker 3: Where we do it in india, we do it in australia, do it in very big markets.
1:44:21
Speaker 3: I don't know why we have this mentality in trend, that or some.
1:44:24
Speaker 3: What is for jamaica carnival?
1:44:25
Speaker 3: We feel to own something mean we must exclude other people.
1:44:28
Speaker 3: I wanted to keep in mind the attitude that we have towards this.
1:44:32
Speaker 3: You to walk in from toko to south as part of the reason why we must.
1:44:36
Speaker 3: We must let go the bird.
1:44:37
Speaker 3: Don't stifle the bird.
1:44:39
Speaker 3: Let the bird fly if, if you have a great idea, let it be a global idea.
1:44:42
Speaker 3: Our countries and territories and islands are too small to achieve economies of scale and large scale profitability, even scalability.
1:44:50
Speaker 3: We can't build nothing big enough, so what we have to do is ideate, create the thing, not saying keep it away from here, but do it and make it global.
1:44:58
Speaker 3: An example of making it global, as seen here, is salute to air committee.
1:45:03
Speaker 3: I will be there this coming weekend, where they have the legends playing against our legends.
1:45:08
Speaker 3: So what they call brazilian legends or is?
1:45:11
Speaker 3: Are they calling them global legends?
1:45:13
Speaker 3: No, they're just saying legends versus tnt all stars.
1:45:15
Speaker 3: And the legends we're going to see coming here are kafu, who you'd remember some of of us will remember, was Cafu the last Brazilian captain to captain Brazil to a World Cup?
1:45:28
Speaker 3: No, but I remember one of my first World Cups I was watching in the early 90s.
1:45:32
Speaker 3: Cafu would have been the captain of that team, where they had men like Romario and Bebeto playing up front.
1:45:37
Speaker 3: Remember that.
1:45:38
Speaker 3: So they bring in Cafu, Rivaldo, kaká and ed milson as part of our legends team that come in to play trinidad all-stars, which would feature people like latipi, dwight, york stone, john leonce lewis I see coming back out.
1:45:53
Speaker 3: We have leonce lewis, to put it in the net for and bring pride and joy to the people in the second tree tree, tree tree.
1:46:02
Speaker 3: You remember that.
1:46:03
Speaker 3: So I like this, I like things like this.
1:46:05
Speaker 3: I don't think we would be able to afford.
1:46:07
Speaker 3: I think you know some of these stars.
1:46:09
Speaker 3: When they're in star mode and they're flying high, we might be able to afford to bring them to Trinidad or bring them to this region, but it's nice to see.
1:46:18
Speaker 3: I wish I could have seen Rivaldo or Fat Ronaldo on this team.
1:46:21
Speaker 3: That would have been nice for me to see, but on pure nostalgia alone, because, let me tell you after I buy the tickets, the mistake I make is to go and watch Legends games.
1:46:30
Speaker 3: Like to see what Rivaldo and Kaka and them looking like now.
1:46:34
Speaker 3: And I want to tell you this right, they're looking like me and you and King George Men, slow, they touch off, but they have some moments of greatness and brilliance in them.
1:46:48
Speaker 3: Legends games that is spectacular to see.
1:46:51
Speaker 3: You still see how great these players are.
1:46:55
Speaker 3: But if you're anything like me, tempe expectations, tempe expectations.
1:47:00
Speaker 3: Don't go too far.
1:47:00
Speaker 3: Don't go too far because it's not the Rivaldo who, in Barcelona, chested up from the top of the box and hit a bicycle home.
1:47:09
Speaker 3: It's not the same guy.
1:47:10
Speaker 3: This guy is 100 years old.
1:47:12
Speaker 3: But just to be able to see them play is something I think is worth it to me and I appreciate Air Committee for bringing these things.
1:47:19
Speaker 3: I remember if not Air Committee, you don't remember when they had like soccer picnic and these things where you would get a chance to see some of our veteran players and them kind of things.
1:47:29
Speaker 3: I'm just excited about Cafu and Rivaldo, as I am to see Dwight York and Latipi play together again.
1:47:36
Speaker 3: Those things are exciting to me, those things that I want to see and what happened.
1:47:41
Speaker 3: That's both of the dogs.
1:47:45
Speaker 3: exciting to me, there's things that I want to see.
1:47:47
Speaker 3: And what happened.
1:47:48
Speaker 3: Let's go.
1:47:48

1:48:13
Speaker 3: Bye you, excited to go Friday?
1:48:15
Speaker 3: Yes, you want to go to see Calypso Rose too?
1:48:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, nah, that's for me and your grandmother.

Speaker 3: I'm also going this weekend To see To see Queen of the Road too.
1:48:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's for me and your grandmother.
1:48:23
Speaker 3: I'm also going this weekend to see um, to see, uh, queen of the road, calypso rose musical by roma spencer.
1:48:30
Speaker 3: Happy mother's day to all the mothers in advance.
1:48:32
Speaker 3: This might be the first year I ever remember to say happy mother's day, because I'm going to my mother and the mothers in my life to go and see queen of the road, which is a musical, a musical about calypso rose I'm not sure if to say featuring calypso rose, like she'll be there, but I'm looking forward to seeing that as well.
1:48:46
Speaker 3: So, as much as as much as we celebrate in legends in the sports, I like the idea of celebrating legends in the culture, and you're supposed to know by now already how I feel about documenting some of the work of our legends.
1:48:59
Speaker 3: I feel like it's something we do a great job at, so I salute anybody who is putting in the work to get that done.
1:49:07
Speaker 3: Talking about legends, there's a legend in Calypso I've come across who I will admit that I did not know very well.
1:49:14
Speaker 3: I don't know much of him as an Antiguan Calypsonian.
1:49:17
Speaker 3: And you know what, sometimes when I'm planning for episodes here, I end up doing a deep dive into some of the Calypsonians from anywhere in the world.
1:49:27
Speaker 3: Pretty much I've listened to plenty of Calypso just to do one episode.
1:49:31
Speaker 3: I just want you to appreciate and understand that.
1:49:33
Speaker 3: But there's a Calypsonian from Antigua that I should have known.
1:49:38
Speaker 3: To be honest, when I look at his catalogue and his music, but more than the catalogue and the music is the vibes of the man and as we're done here to talk about talk and them kind of thing in the episode, due to my inability to talk for long periods at least I want to play a song about a castle Because as much as it has plenty of songs like that, duke has one named Juan, bacchanali has one named Melvi and Yvonne, and plenty of songs like that Duke.
1:50:03
Speaker 3: I want to name one, bacchanalia, I want to name Melvia and Yvonne.
1:50:05
Speaker 3: Plenty of songs where the song is about the talk.
1:50:06
Speaker 3: But I wanted to take a minute to play this calypso by the name of King Obstinate, who is easily one of my favorite calypso, and this man is vibes.
1:50:12
Speaker 3: The name of the song is Wet your Hand and it's about a cuss out happening where he from ¶¶ See Ellie and Bigfoot mad.
1:50:20
Speaker 1: I know me lot of the cussing hard so I climb up in a campground tree to observe the whole scenery.
1:50:45
