  Speaker 4: Nobody's in there but the people setting up the decorations
• 8:45

  Speaker 3: the DMV, like for real stuff like this, like, no,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: you don't do that.

• 9:53
  Speaker 3: start holding people accountable. Period.

  Speaker 4: That's what's wrong with people. People just want to just
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: not saying that she is.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: But nine times out of ten, we just take what
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: we can get and then go on about our business
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: because we're too scared to speak out about what's right
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: and what's wrong.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Now do better.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: That's fair you.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: When you sit there and have bad business like that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: You don't know who this girl could become. She could
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: sell clothes to all the supermodels in the Victoria Secret Joint.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: You don't know.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: She could be the next Rihanna. But but you're in
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: here trying to carry stuff now. That's putting you on blast.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Won't do business with you in the future. And that's
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: on period. Yeah, my performance went well.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I saw the videos. Reid saw the videos. Everything looked lit.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: You look a vibrant. The band was on point. Everybody
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: looked like they were having a guitar it was.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: It was a good time and I got some great
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: footage that I'm going to put on the website when
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: i go back together. So it is what it is.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: But yeah, man, DMV owners, I don't care what you are.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: If you're owner of a club, boutique whatever, do batter, yo,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: do batter, especially when it comes to our own people,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: do better.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Amen?
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Amen?
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: What about you, Reddy P. How's your mood this week?
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: Well, you know what, I think, I'm here to be
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: a little bit of a ray of sunshine. But now
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: it's actually been pretty good. A bit of a whirlwind,
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: but very very excited. You know some all that work
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: I just talked about. You know, you look at the metaphor.
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: I'm a writer, so I do that everything again. But
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: you look at the metaphor of planting your seeds and
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: tending your fields and waiting up for rain and waiting
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: for a big crop. And so it's kind of really
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: popping up. One of the newest things that I'd have
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: got into. Another hat that I'm starting to wear is acting.
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: I basically in the midst of doing my own work.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: And this kind of even goes to what you were
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: just talking about. Lyrics.
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: You do business, do business, ripe with people. You never
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: know what may happen next. And so I was recruiting
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: people for an event I was I was about to do.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: One of the people that I recruited, I was looking
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: at some stuff he posted. He posted two casting calls
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: for extras here in Dallas. One of them was ten
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: minutes away from my house. And so one thing leads
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: to another, And I did one last week and I
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: got one this week. And in both cases it's like
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: it started as an extra, but it got a little
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: extra in the sense of, oh, we're gonna put you
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: right in the.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: Middle of the shot in the big round.
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: Oh, you can be here twice with somebody else can't be,
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: So let's switch you up. Oh, now you're gonna come in. Well,
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: we're gonna give you a speaking roll on this piece.
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: So it's dope. And in the middle of that, you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: I look up and me and my voice on the
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: slang dysfunctional sleep schedule, I think.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: And boom and we are got an interview in the
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: middle of the week.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: In less than twenty four hours. So uh, it's going
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: pretty good for me. And I'm gonna take that energy
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: and lift y'all up as much as I can, because baby,
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: y'all be carrying a lot for these people.
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: And I'm not saying that you shouldn't.
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: But I do realize the fact of And it's your
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: job too, is your show. Look, I'm looking at this
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: this way lyrics in the middle of you on the
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: other side and this money. I'm in black, but you
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: like the devil on the shoulder and I'm trying to
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: be the angel souldier.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: But just an idea that yeah, no, I mean that's heavy,
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: you know, y'all.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: Y'all, y'all take on a lot of heaviness, even for
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: however long you do it, or to whatever you do.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: And it's like, hey, so I gotta marry y'all up,
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: how y'all wost to do all of that? So the
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: idea of being in y'all comments and talking goofing is
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: on Facebook and being able to be here today boom,
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: I'm here for it all day every day.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Oh that was nice.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Now I have to be the devil and say that
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: my week was fucked up, like I'm talking y'all.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: No, this is this is the confession.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: But I listen, No, I'm kidding.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Wasn't that It wasn't that bad, honestly.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, So my TV has been glued to MSNBC and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: it is infuriating to watch these white people.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Just just just white people.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I don't understand it. I don't understand like where the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: mentality is. I don't understand this whole we're superior, Like, girl,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: what are you protecting?
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: What?
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: What?
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I don't understand how anybody is trying to pass Trump
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: off as somebody being of sound and not like I
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: get it, like I really truly get it that we
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: really probably wouldn't be able to tell if he, you know.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Had to mention or not based off who he is.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But but still thatwithstanding is still just astonishing to watch
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: people dance around something that's playing in all of our
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: faces and nobody's willing to save the thing.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Somebody needs to say the thing.
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: And psychopath sociopathic narcissists. Let me, that's not that minor
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: in psychology.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: He got all of them qualifications of the people. But yeah, no,
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: he yeah no.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: If I was able to say that somebody is probably
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: missing a moral core, he's he's he He kind of
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: reminds me of that that slight difference between us and
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: the rest of the animal kingdom, and that we had
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: that higher sense of reasoning. Now go with me, girl,
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: And it's funny, but go with me. In my opinion,
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: is operating purely out of animal survival.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: So I love the fittest instinct, and.
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: There is no morality or anything trying to counter balance
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: that in any way. Especially being who he is, He's
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: surrounded by sick of fans and yes people, so he
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: he doesn't have any what's the word I'm looking for motivation.
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: And he's not stupid, he's not but he but but
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: and he's not the stupidest one I know, but I
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: will say that I don't think he's smart enough for
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: people to be calling him the Antichrist.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's and whatnot.
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: And Antichrist is supposed to be charismatic. But I think
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: he sposed to be smart. But I'm just saying that, no,
• 16:43

  Speaker 6: And I'm not saying Republicans, Please understand me.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying Republicans, Okay, but I am talking about
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: the ones that in that same psychological group think that
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: gets talking about mm.

  Speaker 2: Huh.

  Speaker 4: Lyric That's a great question. I'm so glad that she.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Asks, are you really I am, because.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I actually have an uplifting one this week. I want
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: to be like Chicago rapper and activist Golden Child, who
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: has been making a powerful impact in the community through
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: his music.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: And actions, and it's time to give him his flowers.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Not only does he do music inspire positive change, but
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: his Unity Movement has been working tirestly to bring people together,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: squash community conflict.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: And promote peace.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Through events like the Unity Concert, he has helped foster
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: conversations and create connections that has led to a real
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: healing in Chicago's neighborhoods.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: And Baby, I want to be like Zorian Harris when
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: I grow up.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: He's a senior at white Haven High School in Memphis
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: who has made headlines for his remarkable achievement of receiving
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: over eight million in scholarship offers from more than one
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: hundred colleges in universities. This accomplishment has only made him
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: a standout student, but also marks him as one of
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the school's million dollars scholars.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Now would they say million dollar scholars for a school?
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Who else?
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Who else got eight million? Who? I feel like? Because
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: he was black? They was like, m.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one of the Not for you, Zorian Harris,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: you are that from graduations?
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: That is amazing?
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: All right? So you ready for these letters? Up next?
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Are the letters ready for me?
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: We'll find out.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: This discourse has resurfaced.
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: On Twitter, where black gay people are being asked whether
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: we identify by race or sexuality first.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: So I'm just here to issue you all.
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: A reminder that you are not black first, and you
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: are not gay first.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: You are everything at the same goddamn time.
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: It does not matter what society sees you as, does
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: not matter if you can hide or conceal your queerness.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: It does not matter what strip black people tell you.
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: Baby, You are both black and queer all at once.
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: The very notion that we have to prioritize which marginalized
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: identity gets recognized first, is to spit in the face
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: of intersectionality. It erases the fact that in black spaces,
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: queerness is a source of contention and subjugation, and in
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: non black queer spaces, blackness is a source of contention
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: and subjugation whose experience this happens simultaneously, and they feed
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: off of each other, often leaving us starting. It is
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: so necessary that we advocate for ourselves and others in
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: ways that are inclusive, intersectional, and complete because of the
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: words of my goddamn self. Allowing motherfuckers to prioritize which
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: parts of your identity they want to recognize first will
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: always leave some part of you behind.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: You should but definitely she would.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Hey, what's going on you guys? This is your girl,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Miss lyric Provido, and I'm back with my segment if
• 21:34

• 21:38

• 21:41
  Speaker 3: cents about it. Now, if you guys want to continue
• 21:44

  Speaker 3: you can DM me on my social media platforms, which
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: is Facebook, TikTok, Instagram Only fans no no, that was
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Tony's day things.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: Name, not her things.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe Twitter now called x uh. We'll get to that anyway.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I do, all right, So this one, dear, I guess
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: we can say names now. Okay, dear lyric, please help
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: me out. My name is Ching Gao ch n g
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Ao chen Gao, so hopefully I did not butcher that.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Please help me out. My name is chingall. My girlfriend
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: and I have been dating for a year, and the
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: first couple of months was awesome, but then we had
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: lots of fights and honestly, it made me rethink if
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: she's the one. The idea of breaking up really upsets me.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, I don't want to waste
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: each other's time dating if we have no real intention
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: of a future.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: But at the.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Same time, I really do love her. The main doubts
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: are mainly because I am Nies atheists and she is
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Endian Muslim, but her religion is really strict and we
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: are of totally opposite cultures. I hope you can help
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: me with some advice. I also feel that if I
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: delayed the breakup then it will hurt even more.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Love with love, Cheen Gao.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, hey, Chen Gao, thanks for writing to me.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: First and foremost, Now for my advice.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Oh up, it's not gonna be harsh this week.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I think that you need to have a conversation with
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: your girlfriend and let her know how you feel. First
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: and foremost. It's very important that you tell her this
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: so she knows what she's going to do, like if
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: you If you, I understand that you guys have been
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: fighting and this, that and the third. Coming from opposite
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: cultures as specially Muslim and you being atheists can be
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: pretty tricky, especially when it comes to possibly raising children.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: That's just something to think about, uniting your families, having
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: these family gatherings.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: I'll be forgetting.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: This is a lot to consider when you're marrying someone.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: People tend to well, people should tend to marry people
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: who they are equally yoked with. What that means is.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: You have the same.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: Values, you have.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: The same not You don't have to have the exact
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: same characteristics as what you feel is though should be.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: How a household is ran but similar, and anything that.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Is not aligned with that things can typically go wrong.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I find it very commendable that you even said that
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: you're thinking of breaking up with her, so you don't
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: waste other people's time, because a lot of the times
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: people get into these relationships and they just become comfortable,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: and it's the longer and longer it takes for them,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: the harder, the harder it's going to be for them
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: to like get over each other. So I think that
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: you need to tell her how you feel, tell her
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: your concerns, let the cars fall where they may, and
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: if you end up separating, at least the very least
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: that you'll be able to become good friends and you know,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: stay in contact with each other that way, because it
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: sounds like you still love her. But you can love
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: someone and.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Not be with them as well. You don't have to
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: have a relationship with someone that you.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Love love you from a distance.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: There you know, it just might not be, you know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: the relationship for you. And to me, it sounds like
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: you already have your mind made up. It's too many
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: negatives on your list that you know. So I wish
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: you the best.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: That's that already. You want me to read this second one?
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Or you going where you want?
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: You go ahead, I'm gona save mine for last, all right.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: This one is from one someone that chooses to remain anonymous.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Dear Lyric, I hope this message finds you all well.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: I've been a loyal listener quite some time, and I.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: Love Okay, Okay.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Today I find myself in a bit of a pickle
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: and could really use your advice.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: So here's the situation.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I recently started dating a woman who is adventurous and
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: open minded, which I absolutely love. We've had some great
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: chemistry and things have been heating up between us. However,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: during a particularly intimate night, she casually mentioned that she's
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: into role playing and suggested that we explore some fantasies together.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I was intrigued, but also a bit hesitant because I've
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: never ventured down that fath before.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: And y'all crack me up with these.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Letters, because I feel that I feel building up and
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to last. A few nights later, she surprised
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: me with the proposition she wanted me.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: She wanted to dress up as a character from a
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: popular fantasy series, and she asked if I would be
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: comfortable playing along as her counterpart. I find myself excited
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: by the idea, but also slightly anxious about stepping outside
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: of my comfort zone.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: I want to be supportive and adventuress.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: But I also don't want to be something that I
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: might might regret or feel awkward about it later.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: So I'm reaching out to you for you all for advice.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: If it were you in this situation, what would you do?
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: How do you navigate the balance between trying new things
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: for the sake of your partner while also ensuring that
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: you're comfortable in having fun. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the time to read my letter. I
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: appreciate any insights you can share. Sincerely, A concerned listener
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: wishing to remain an.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: Honors Okay, anonymous, do it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Are you one to find out what you like and
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: what you don't like? If you don't try it at
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: least once?
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Work very out there, put.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: That anime outfit on, get that girl, do some nasty stuff, and.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: If you don't like it, just say, hey, this is
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: not really for me. You know what I'm saying.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: You can you have that option, or you can compromise,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: say hey this is not really for me, but for you.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: You know, we can do this once in a blue moon.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I don't mind doing that, Like jump out there, put
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: that costume on, right, kung fu moves and ship don't
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: hit her though, I'm domestic violence around this motherfucker y'all

• 29:17
  Speaker 4: for it. Take her down in the costume.

  Speaker 2: the bedroom or whatever? The litter box? However, y'all get
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: down whatever you into work.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: First of all, it's between two consenting adults behind closed doors.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Nobody has to know.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Unless you want some freaky shit and you want to
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: tape it or something and watch it back.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Hey, I'm not judging.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Watch it together, get nasty in and then delete it.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: We liked the idea of eating them cats.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. Just like, try new things,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: don't be afraid to try new things in the bedroom,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: but always make sure that it's consented between two adults.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: That's all that I.

  Speaker 4: Stuff and do all of that stuff.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Don't crash out like y'all youngests be saying, don't crash
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: out on him, because it's never that serious. If you
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: feel as though your significant other is cheating.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: Just leave.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Leave. I wouldn't even say nothing, just leave.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: Wow. Wow, I wouldn't recommend not.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: And then if you send him a picture of that
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: and they'd be like, what's this?
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Hm?
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: I said, want that response, same purpose?
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: What was it left in the hallway? Reason?
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Definitely going on, because baby, if you don't use condoms
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: and you bought him some and he say they're uncomfortable
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: for him and he don't like them, and all of
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: a sudden, there is only four left in a ten
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: act baby, six times? Six times?
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: I was gonna ask because did she ever specify? Because
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: she said she bought them because she was on birth control,
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: which gave me an impression that they possibly used some
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: of them, possibly because if they're still actually active and
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: she's not trying to get pregnant.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: She said they refuse. He refused to use uncomfortable, so
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: there still should be ten of the pay.
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: See, this is why it is hard when you when
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: you like you said, you have to read it multiple
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: times because you laughing through it.
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: I'm laughing through telling all the beats.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: But okay, yeah, it's only flow left. So and one
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: was one was on the flow and it was empty.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Cham sound like to me?
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: Mm hmmm, got you?
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: I n g mm hmm mm hmmm.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: But let's let me tell you something.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: And nobody on God's green Earth worth your freedom.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: Okay, no, but definitely.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Give it for two years, and two years may feel
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: like a long time, But baby, somebody, there's somebody is
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: out there that will love you for foe and will
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: love you correctly the right way, without you know, being
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: disrespecting to you by you and doing all this other
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: stuff and not being monogamous. Like no, it's cliche to
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: say this other fishing to see, but there literally is.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Go find somebody else. But before you do, let me
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: tell you one thing, because this is what people tend
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: to do when they get out of relationships. They want
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: to jump in the next one real quick. No, let's
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: not do that. We're not doing that today, on no day.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: We're gonna work on ourselves first. So if you end
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: up leaving him, I.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Want you to work on you. I want you to
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: date yourself.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Take some time to get to know yourself so you
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: know what to accept and what not to accept. You'll
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: be able to recognize those red flags and you won't
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: go into your next relationship unhealed and expecting somebody else
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: to heal that trauma for you.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: That's not the way it works.
• 37:57

  Speaker 11: So, my fellow black man, I think it's time that
• 38:48
  Speaker 11: we had a conversation because you know what, I'm.
• 38:50
  Speaker 12: Sick of y'all.
• 38:51
  Speaker 11: Now, keep in mind, when I say black man, I'm
• 38:53
  Speaker 11: not talking about all black men. So if this don't
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: pertain to you, don't get offended. But if I'm talking
• 38:58
  Speaker 11: to you, yeah, I'm talking to you, brothers. I just
• 39:00
  Speaker 11: got to ask a question. Do you like black women?
• 39:04
  Speaker 12: Like for real? Do you like black women?
• 39:06
  Speaker 11: Do you like the feminine, melanated female species from which
• 39:13
  Speaker 11: you've color from.
• 39:14
  Speaker 12: Do you like them?
• 39:15
  Speaker 11: I know society has failed us time and time again
• 39:17
  Speaker 11: and fed.
• 39:18
  Speaker 12: Us a big warm bowl of bs.
• 39:20
  Speaker 11: But to go out and have so much energy to
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: disrespect a system that's foul.
• 39:26
  Speaker 12: So I hear some of y'all say, well, I don't
• 39:28
  Speaker 12: know too much about it.
• 39:29
  Speaker 11: I don't know her policies, you know, I question her
• 39:32
  Speaker 11: motives and all this kind of stuff.
• 39:34
  Speaker 12: Brother, have you heard of Google?
• 39:36
  Speaker 11: But since your fingers don't work, I'm gonna just help
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: you out a little big and tell you a couple
• 39:39
  Speaker 11: of her policies. First of all, she is proposing a
• 39:42
  Speaker 11: middle class tax cut, which would include a five thousand
• 39:46
  Speaker 11: dollars child tax credit, the first time in history of
• 39:48
  Speaker 11: child tax credit has ever been that much. Also, a
• 39:51
  Speaker 11: six thousand dollars savings to the Affordable Care Act healthcare premiums.
• 39:55
  Speaker 12: That means when you go to the doctor.
• 39:58
  Speaker 11: Well, never mind, y'all, don't go to the doctor, but
• 40:00
  Speaker 11: if you did, you would save a lot of money.
• 40:02
  Speaker 12: But what about this one, brothers? You know a lot
• 40:03
  Speaker 12: of us go to the grocery store.
• 40:05
  Speaker 11: You know those Captain Crunch serial that you like you
• 40:07
  Speaker 11: can't even afford to get the crunch barriers because Siria
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: is so high.
• 40:10
  Speaker 12: You can't even get the fruity pebbles.
• 40:12
  Speaker 11: You got to get the generic fruity crisp because the
• 40:15
  Speaker 11: groceries are too high. Well, Vice President Harris is proposing
• 40:18
  Speaker 11: the first time ever a ban on price gouging of
• 40:21
  Speaker 11: food and groceries. I think that helps you out doing
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: the brothers. And last of brothers, all of us are fathers,
• 40:26
  Speaker 11: or most of us. We have sons. We have daughters
• 40:29
  Speaker 11: who we hope and dream one day will go off
• 40:31
  Speaker 11: to college. But what if that college that they go
• 40:33
  Speaker 11: to sent you a tuition bill in a mail saying
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: that you had to pay this by Friday, and that
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: tuition bill is ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand dollars
• 40:41
  Speaker 11: a year.
• 40:41
  Speaker 12: Would you be able to just stroke a check and
• 40:43
  Speaker 12: pay for that flat out?
• 40:45
  Speaker 11: Probably not, But thank goodness, we have the US Department
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: of Education that helps our students of color fund their
• 40:51
  Speaker 11: education through programs like the PEL Grant, through work study,
• 40:55
  Speaker 11: through even federal student loans that are affordable repayment plans
• 40:59
  Speaker 11: that all funded through the US Department of Education. But
• 41:02
  Speaker 11: that Orange guy you support. Yeah, he wants to do
• 41:04
  Speaker 11: away with the Department of Education. So what happens to
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: the loans? What happens to all these student aid programs?
• 41:11
  Speaker 11: They go to the private banks, those same private banks
• 41:14
  Speaker 11: that were guilty of predatory lenning, those same private banks
• 41:17
  Speaker 11: that refuse to lend money to people of color, those
• 41:21
  Speaker 11: same private banks that cause the housing collapse. You want
• 41:25
  Speaker 11: them a charge of funding your child's education.
• 41:28
  Speaker 12: Bruh.
• 41:29
  Speaker 11: So, brothers, I'm just saying all this because I love you,
• 41:31
  Speaker 11: and the way we disrespect black women has got to stop.
• 41:35
  Speaker 11: The way that we disrespect Vice President Harris has got
• 41:37
  Speaker 11: to stop. If you want to vote for the Orange dude,
• 41:39
  Speaker 11: that's your business. But just keep in mind. Remember the
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: Central Park five, who are now the exonerated five. This
• 41:45
  Speaker 11: man put out a full page adde to The New
• 41:47
  Speaker 11: York Times calling for their death. This is the same
• 41:50
  Speaker 11: Orange guy that wants to give full immunity to police officers.
• 41:54
  Speaker 11: That's the guy you support. So, brothers, whoever hurt you,
• 41:56
  Speaker 11: whoever didn't give you enough love, whoever didn't give you
• 41:59
  Speaker 11: the attention that you think you needed, Brothers, I'm sorry,
• 42:03
  Speaker 11: but what you need to do is go get heal
• 42:04
  Speaker 11: from that.
• 42:05
  Speaker 12: This toxic male masculinity has got to stop. Go get here,
• 42:09
  Speaker 12: go heal yourself.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Well, all right, we back, yes.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: Right here on w r T. Don't know what that was.

  Speaker 2: to go in on black people and usually when I'm

  Speaker 4: The Year or some shit like for like longer than
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: two years.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, sexy Red is she's got to be
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: an industry plan.
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: Everything about her is so like just even her name
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: sexy Red, What what are we like? What is this
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: like a crayon and a and a boost? Like? What
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: is happening?
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: We could have been more than that. I'm just saying.
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't understand.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: It's just like sexy Red and then the pussy pink,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: booty hole brown thing, and then she going to schools.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that she formed the song at a school,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: but I remember like last year she was recognized and
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: she performed out of school.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: Uh no, that said she couldn't go, She couldn't come in.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: They wouldn't let her in.
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: But who whose idea was.
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: For anybody's school if it's not a college?
• 51:24
  Speaker 7: And that's what I was asking, That's exactly why I
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: was saying, ran my ass.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Up to that school.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: This was not a college. This was not and.
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: I mean I know that the school should.
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: Be let's bring the booty whole brown girl.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Let's do that, like, let's get her the girl with
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: the line, you remember that lipstick line gone a rhea
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: sex on my period?
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: Discharged.
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: You know, I think sometimes.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: About them, but this, this is my problem with these
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: award shows. These people aren't new. It's like we see
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: them everywhere for like years. Why are you giving them
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: these bullshit awards. It's like it's like a participation participation
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: award to me.
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: Like in sports. You're a little too late with that shit.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: Like I feel like some of these girls should have
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: won one of the awards that Nikki got. Let's be clear,
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: their albums were out previously, they was getting bus it
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: was all over the radio, like y'all not even playing
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: fair with the ship. So who wants to fucking watch
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: that shit?
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: I don't I hear you. I hear you. I mean
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: I you know, and I think and you correct me
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: if you're wrong.
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: But I know, at least for me, I think about
• 52:47
  Speaker 7: it from an artist standpoint on some level two right,
• 52:50
  Speaker 7: and so it's it's why I feel like i've sony
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: and so much on what is obviously political, what is
• 52:58
  Speaker 7: obviously money, what is anything other than the art? Right,
• 53:04
  Speaker 7: because this is what we actually supposed to be there
• 53:06
  Speaker 7: to celebrate the art of the artists, not backing or
• 53:11
  Speaker 7: the deals. And of course they don't tell us all
• 53:13
  Speaker 7: of that, but the average person on the street, no,
• 53:16
  Speaker 7: you know, somebody knows somebody. But the other piece I
• 53:18
  Speaker 7: was just throwing the real quick is that one there's
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: already not enough spaces for us as black artists, right,
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: and we have a larger responsibility, I feel, to represent
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: as many of us to the best of our ability
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: as possible. And so that's all the more reason that
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: there really shouldn't be any there's even when you go
• 53:38
  Speaker 7: back to hosting, the idea of hosting and loves taragi,
• 53:42
  Speaker 7: but the idea of hosting that should be somebody new
• 53:45
  Speaker 7: every year.
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: That's easy many of us out there.
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: And then when I think about the impact that because
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: they know it too, the impact that one of those
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: new artists getting that award can you for their career,
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: versus somebody who's already set in the status, somebody who's
• 54:05
  Speaker 7: probably not showing up right, you know, it's come on,
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: come on, So I guess.
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: I bet come on Jesus okayping people who aren't getting
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: as much acknowledgement as they would like life. Jennings got
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: his ass on Instagram and was penty mad.
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: Tiny desk.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: He says, I'm not sure everybody feels like that God
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: gave me real music. Last month, Tiny Dust told me
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: I wasn't a big enough celebrity for their show. So
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: shout outs to unfug for still believing in me. Now
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: all I don't have a time with what he said.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: But what what the fuck is up with tiny dusks,
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: because let's be clear, I had to google some of
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: these artist that you have had on this Tiny backs.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna.
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: Like that must be.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: You know that I listened to that whole album straight through,
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: nothing but box.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: You can't play with that man like that somebody out
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: there now.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: But yeah, he did what he came in this.
• 55:26
  Speaker 7: I mean, they pulled out Shaka Khan, who I love
• 55:28
  Speaker 7: barely from Chicago Women's last time Shaka.
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: Did anything right.
• 55:32
  Speaker 7: And when that was done, I just happened to see
• 55:35
  Speaker 7: it recently, is what I'm saying. But yeah, once again
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: that opportunity to spread things around.
• 55:41
  Speaker 6: But then you know who you are thinking that now?
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: Now, the publisher head, the producer head, come on, and
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: it's not the decisions I would make, but I can
• 55:48
  Speaker 7: imagine the decision making process.
• 55:50
  Speaker 6: And there's somebody out there who just probably don't.
• 55:53
  Speaker 7: See it for him period, you know, And they might
• 55:58
  Speaker 7: not be a musician music officionado like I would. I
• 56:04
  Speaker 7: would unless if you ever saw me somewhere where I
• 56:07
  Speaker 7: was trying to judge musicians or whatever, knowing that I'm
• 56:09
  Speaker 7: not one professionally, I'm gonna have all smirks run across
• 56:13
  Speaker 7: the screen to let y'all know this is a complete joke.
• 56:15
  Speaker 7: I am not at but that person who's picking I
• 56:20
  Speaker 7: don't know who it is, but it uh, your your
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: point makes me think, you know, well, how tuned is
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: their ear?
• 56:28
  Speaker 6: How open minded are they about artists?
• 56:31
  Speaker 7: Do they have any issues with certain artists, certain types
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: of artists?
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: Because he might just honestly, it might.
• 56:38
  Speaker 7: Not be about him only he might just fit into
• 56:41
  Speaker 7: this whole other category of maybe too black in some perspects.
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: So maybe.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: Y'all brought John He's bull headed ass raids hanging on
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: by a thread. Nothing wrong with wife Jennings being able
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: to do the tiny desk because us his fans were
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: sounding off in them comments.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: Chat, Wait and what do they mean brads hanging on?
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: What happened? I got to google it?
• 57:17
  Speaker 14: Okay, you know what, I ain't trying to either way,
• 57:25
  Speaker 14: I wasn't trying to make no disclaimers for them or whatever.
• 57:28
  Speaker 6: But it's just.
• 57:31
  Speaker 7: Uh and and tell me about this lyric. I mean one,
• 57:35
  Speaker 7: I believe in speaking truth to power. I'm gonna always
• 57:39
  Speaker 7: tell my truth or displayed in some shape, form or fashion.
• 57:42
  Speaker 7: But I am very big, especially now he is somebody
• 57:46
  Speaker 7: that's in a whole nother stratosphere, right, several other stratospheres.
• 57:50
  Speaker 7: But one of my rules, and you may see me
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: post little thing every so often that talks about like
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: my kind of best business practices, and one of them
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: is not to disparage of the artists. And to some degree,
• 58:01
  Speaker 7: I also talk about this idea because I hate this
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: for my people, especially those of us who are still
• 58:06
  Speaker 7: trying to make it, that have our events, that have
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: our shows, and something doesn't go or somebody doesn't come,
• 58:12
  Speaker 7: or something doesn't pop, and now we're on social media
• 58:17
  Speaker 7: ranting and raving, and yeah, the screaky oil gets the grease,
• 58:21
  Speaker 7: but we ain't wheels. And I just feel like that
• 58:23
  Speaker 7: doesn't endear me to anybody. After that, it's like, oh,
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: so you just bitched amone because folks didn't support And
• 58:33
  Speaker 7: at the same time, keep in mind when you're doing
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: that you are, in a sense, almost knocking the people
• 58:38
  Speaker 7: who did support because you're so focused on who didn't support,
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: and you could have spend that time saying, hey.
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: Mama, thank you for being the only one in the audience.
• 58:46
  Speaker 7: But you know you want to get on and rant
• 58:48
  Speaker 7: and rape and then you want to write nothing to
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: pop off. But you know, I want to admit for
• 58:53
  Speaker 7: him being him. It's something that I will say. I
• 58:56
  Speaker 7: won't say is I think of as allowable, but I
• 58:59
  Speaker 7: will say his career can survive it and may even
• 59:03
  Speaker 7: pop because of it.
• 59:05
  Speaker 6: But somebody's on.
• 59:07
  Speaker 7: My level and some others, I would just say, don't
• 59:11
  Speaker 7: take that as an example in my opinion of what
• 59:15
  Speaker 7: to do.
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: But I also think it's not what you say, it's
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: how you say it. So young people will go to
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: the extreme in their statements. He kept it cute, you
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. He said, Oh no, I don't
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: think everybody feels that way. But unfortunately they don't feel
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: as though I'm a big enough celebrity for their platform.
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: There's nothing wrong with that.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: That's what they said.
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: That's what they standing with. Staying that, However, he staying twenty.
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: Letting it be known that don't play with him. We
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: want to see him, so he might very well get
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: a tiny desk. We'll see tiny thing. Big ticke of
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: a the Basement made a big announcement.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: I heard he has a little one.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 15: On the way, I heard, and an adorable little video
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 15: with him with his back turn you see some woman's
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 15: arms going in between.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: With cute little tiny baby shoes and then he turns
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: around and has I'm gonna be a dad shirt on,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: which is so cute. So congratulations to Big Tigger. Yeah, Basement,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: we need to bring that show back.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: Like that was a vibe.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 5: It really was. But speaking of having babies.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 16: So there is a There was this wild study from
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 16: back in twenty twenty that basically said it drops some
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 16: knowledge on us about how women who give birth after
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 16: forty were more likely to live one hundred years.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: So all these people, you know, because when.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: I initially heard the Big Tigger story, I was thinking,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: fifty one.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: You waited lot as it good there, bruh.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: But then also I was just like, you know what,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: I am seeing older parents nowadays, and I'm not mad
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: at it because if you look at the decisions the younger.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: Ones are making, do we really want them raising children.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not I mean, I'm not knocking for
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: everything that they do. You know, I'm playing, But I'm
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 5: saying like a lot of the decisions that are made
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 5: and even made in.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Some of our own up brings, could possibly have been
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: different decisions if there were it was a little bit
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: more seasoning behind that experience, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: So I just look at that.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 5: And you know, I'm not mad.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: I'm still I guess I'm on the fence with older
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: men that have babies with or older people, not even
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: older men, older people that have babies with the younger
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: like Marcus, like Michael, Michael Jordan's son, and that woman,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: that grown ass, big titty woman like you know, it's
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: just it's ship like that kind of makes me. But
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: as far as raising kids and stuff, I would rather
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: people with some season and some age behind it, maybe
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: a few grades be out here telling the people what
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: you disagree.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: I disagree, because that's clear.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: Maturity does not have an age on it.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: It doesn't. But you are the exception. You are the exception.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: You people that are over forty, over fifty that do
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: not make the right decision. Okay, whether it be financially, parenting,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. Age don't have no limit.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: Then on the flip side, there are responsible twenty something
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: starting something.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 5: You know what, people need to focus.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: On the age in totality, focus on period, and have
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: those characteristics already in you at whatever age you are.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm looking at, because child, there's dead beats young,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: and there's dead beats oh period, and it goes across
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: the board.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 7: Now, you got to talk about it a little bit earlier,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: and I was telling him how it reminded me of
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 7: the story my dad. So when he had me, he
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 7: was like twenty one, but then he had my younger
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 7: brother who's thirteen years younger than me, and he was
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 7: like in his forties and he was he was somewhere
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 7: with my grandmother at my grandmother's house. He's dog tired,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: he has my little brother. My little brother is climbing
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 7: all over his head. My dad is like half dead
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 7: in the chair and my grandmother was looking over him,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: cracking up, and he was like, what's wrong, and he was.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 7: She was like, you supposed to have him young, because
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 7: you got to be able to keep up with.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 6: Him, and you got to be able to get on
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 6: the flow with.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 7: Him, and I still won't say age that more, in
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 7: my opinion, speaks to vitality and energy so much like
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 7: you said, it's not about the number necessarily, but how
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 7: equipped you are in a sense of physicality, spirituality, mentality, emotionally.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 7: But let's be planning new babies. How many of us,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 7: how many of us were playing?
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: I wasn't exactly, I.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: See.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 5: And I think that.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 6: This thing with Tigger, I mean, you know, and when,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 6: especially when I think about that age and I don't know,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 6: like how old is the partner?
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: How I think I think she's younger than him, but
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: she's not, you know, right media for whatever reason O twenty,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: I do think he's significantly younger than him, but I
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: know he's in his fifty sell so well, my point,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: my point being though, is I had to think about
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: it when because to Marcus's point, okay, he's fifty and.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: And and me, and yeah, we slow down in some respects,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 7: and women y'all go up the older you get with
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 7: it comes to certain things sexually or what have you,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 7: but child bearing age and we know that that has
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 7: fallen so far down for a while.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 6: So that's part of the reason I'm like, how old
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 6: is she?
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 7: Because if she was, like, if she's in her maybe,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 7: oh Lyricy probably correct me on this, and she's in.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: Her late twenties, then popping out.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 7: Babies probably is just like, girl, you gotta be capful
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 7: because you could just catch anything and boom, you got
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 7: a baby. But in her mid thirties, for a lot
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 7: of women, it's a lot harder. So that makes me wonder, Okay,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 7: was this a planned pregnancy? And that makes a difference
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 7: to me when it comes to how old he is.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 7: You know what they're doing, what they're doing, and even
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 7: just the fact that I mean, ideally y'all gonna be
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: kind of setting my fifties and it's like, oh, well,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 7: at that point, I ain't crawling out, no baby, I
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 7: got a name.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: That's true, And you know what and what I was saying,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: I didn't say, like, you know, as far as age,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: like what I'm talking about it, I'm talking about the
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: experience behind it. And there are certain things that own
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: there are certain experiences that only your age can give you.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: Talking personally, I mean like my sister and I grew
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: up in the same house, were raised by the same
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: two people, but her experience in mind, are completely different,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: given that were thirteen years apart. There's just a different
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: level of maturity that my parents had with her that
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: they did not me.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 5: That is my point.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: So when you're talking about children and yes, big Tigger
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: being fifty one and things, if he had a partner
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: that was around that age or something comfortable to it,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: then it would make a little bit more sense to me.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 5: Why you wait it out? But that's that man's business.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: I ain't got nothing to do with it, but I
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: will talk about say from that, speaking of you know,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: people and children, Marlon Wayans clap back at Elon Musk
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: or disowning his trans daughter.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 5: He says, you heard about this, now you tell all right.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: So Marlon Wayans recently called out Elon Musk for the
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: way he's been treating his transgender child, and it's got
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: even more buzzing. Took to stand saying that as a parent,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: you've got to support and love your kids no matter what. Now,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: for those of you that don't know Elon as a
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: trans daughter has come out about it, and you know
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Elon being you know, super maga, ultra conservative, they do nothing.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: They don't want to hear anything. LGBTQ or I.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 5: A none of that.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Get your faggot shit out of here. We don't want
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: it in our white world. Like that's just out a feel.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: It is what it is, so.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: Let's see. Marlon pointed out that it is super important
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: for parents, especially someone with a huge platform like Elon,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: to show love and acceptance, especially when it comes to
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 5: their kids' identities. Marlon's message was.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: All about promoting promoting understanding and respect, urging folks to
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: uplift their children instead of the throwing shade. And for
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: those of you that may not know or haven't listened
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: to the podcasts before, we've.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: Talked about Marlon and how he's very you know, been
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 5: very open about supporting his LGBTQ relatives. So I mean, yeah,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 5: I do too, because you don't see it a lot
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 5: with black men.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to here we go. I'm not
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: shipping on black men or you know, anything of the sort. Right,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: What I'm saying is that when it comes to experiences
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: with the lgbt qy, it's a lot more as a
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: lot more that have to be pushed in the direction
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: of acceptance versus those of you that embrace it the
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: way that Marlin has so gracefully.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: And you know who I blame, the colonized, the colonized,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 7: And here we go, let's go history.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 5: Boom, it is it is, this is oppressed people.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 7: The African tribes. Go back to the African tribe, all right. Now,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 7: they had different practices in different places. In some places
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 7: they threw away, in some places they did not deal
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 7: with our bin no children. But in most cases I
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 7: learned that that was never a thing when it came
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 7: to them in sexuality and gender, that was never ever
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 7: a thing. And those cultures and a lot of Native
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 7: American cultures, they celebrated those people because they said, oh
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 7: my god, you carry two spirits in you. They but
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 7: believe that you carried the spirit of the male and
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: the female, and that was an awesome thing. Those people
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 7: also were kind of like when we think about our
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 7: extended families and we have the aunts and uncles that
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 7: helped raise the children and that sort of thing.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 6: They were very integral.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 7: Part of society in a lot of cases. But when
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 7: good old King James his crew and the Bible he corrupted,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 7: that's a whole other conversation came over in there and
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 7: started imposing all that stuff on us. And then a
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 7: piece I forgot about that I learned about today. You
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 7: had that period where when we were brought over as slaves,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 7: where we were continuously bringing slaves over, right, so you
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 7: still had African influence from the motherland pumping in, so
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 7: we still retained certain things.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 6: But then when the slave trade got cut off.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 7: In America said fuck y'all were still keeping our slaves
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 7: because we can domesticate and breed them. We lost a lot.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 7: We lost a lot, We lost a lot of morals,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 7: values and that sort of thing. And I will say
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 7: that right now, and whoever want to, you know, fact
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 7: check me.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 6: I ain't running for president.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 5: That that.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 6: Okay, And he don't care if they do. He's still
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 6: don't lie.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 7: But but yes, no, that that is something that I
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 7: really feel came with with the Imperial Nations, much like
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 7: the idea of the nuclear family. For them, it was
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 7: always this idea of mother father, uh you know, two
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 7: point three kids or whatever.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 6: For us, it was always the extended family. Who has
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 6: three They came in and threw all our ship off.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 7: You talk about the idea of interrupted history, uh, interrupted development.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 7: I don't think this would have been the problem that
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 7: it is even on the African continent, because I mean
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 7: they're you know, we're talking about folks suspicion of being
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 7: gay and just disappearing.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: Okay, I don't believe it was always that way. It
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 6: was not always Shirton wouldn't oh, all right to you?
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 5: These what else? You got?
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: A lyrics? Like I said, MSNBC has been my TV
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna bore you all with those dads.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 5: So you got anything?
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: I did? Have one more thing and then you can
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: go ahead and continue on.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 4: Let's see.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: Love Island star Hannah Smith was arrested for threatened to
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: kill a police officer and a racist rint. Her attorney
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: this memory of telling.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: The officers I don't recall.

  Speaker 2: That's all I think that we have successively told the
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: timeline this week on w r TR Real Talk Radio.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 5: Up next, I am talking to Eddie p We actually
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 5: both are, but you know, I'm bringing back my Ino
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 5: biz segment because you know, you know, I haven't done
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: that for a while.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: You know, you guys that have been w R t
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: R for a while, y'all know that segment. It's back
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: like they're bumping.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 5: Your lips.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 18: Kamala aris when you're saying people are going to come
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 18: and live in your your home. I think so people
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 18: are gonna come and live in like in your home
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 18: for example, that people would come and live in your house.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 19: Yeah, because you have all these immigrants, They're.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 18: Just gonna come start living in your house.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know how they do that, because they already
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: do it in other states, like in New.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 18: York, and then the people have to leave.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 19: No, people still say that if they want so.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 18: It's their house. Immigrants come and live and then they
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 18: all live together after that.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 7: I guess.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 18: So, I don't know how it works.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 5: Not sure.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: Number One, JD.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 10: Vans and Donald Trump's spreading propaganda about immigrants while being
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 10: married to an immigrated having any losses immigrant is diabotically insitious.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: Number two.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 10: Listening to that video illustrate the example of thinking deeply
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 10: about shallow shit and then drawing in your own understanding.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 10: Number three, I know they trying and take it out
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 10: the history books. But do you know the people that
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 10: actually have to deal with foreigners coming and taking their land,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 10: taking their homes.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: Do you know who deal with that?
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 10: Number four Mark Robinson, the person that reference to the
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 10: sayings you support them. This man is running for governor
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 10: of North Carolina and has referred to himself as a
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 10: black yati. Number five, I'm founding more and more people
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 10: that look like me, that experien rytoric like that. Do
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 10: not let these folks trick you into being anti immigrant,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 10: because as soon as they've done with them, they're gonna
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 10: be back on your ad.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 6: Number six, A lot of y'all are not researching, y'all
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 6: conspiracy theory. Y'all are conclusion shopping.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: You're insane hypothesis and that's bad.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 10: Number seven, y'all remember this little visual right here that
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 10: showed in Colorado. Remember this because a lot of people
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 10: getting bamboozooed and hoodwinked into bond into this old narrative.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 10: And again, if you look like me, don't fall for
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 10: the okie.
• 1:17:13

• 1:17:42

• 1:17:45
  Speaker 7: It's been pretty good. Lord knows, you frightened my day,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 7: if it's okay to put it out there that you know.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 7: I rolled over this morning and it was about four o'clock.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 7: I said, oh lord, this is not when I'm supposed
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 7: to be woke. And I was tempted to reach for
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 7: my phone. I said, I'm not gonna do it.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 6: I reached for it and there's Marcus.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 5: Oh I mean to wake you. Okay, now you didn't you.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 7: Please know my phone is on sitent. My phone has
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 7: been on site it for like fifteen years. Only when
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 7: my partner is out of the house and I'm here alone,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 7: if he's out of town, is it on vibrate.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 6: So nothing wakes me up. It's just that I rolled over.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 6: I look, and you know, the composion to look at social.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 7: Media, but look what it turned into exactly exactly.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: So for those of you that don't know, so, like
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: I said, earlier in the show. Eddie has been a
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: long time well a recent supporter of the show and
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: just all around good guys. Been promoting things. He's been
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: putting things out there for us, and I've learned a
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: lot about his brand, Rainbow Room Publishing.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 5: LC.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: Wanted to make sure that it wasn't reading Rainbow or
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: any of the other ratchet things that j'all be saying.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: They butchered your uh they butcher your business name like
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: they butchered my last name.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 5: So I get it.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: Oo.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been Marcus, slut, smut all this.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 5: Other stuff, so stop. It's been everything but my actual name.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 5: So I get it.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: What that man said, tell us a little bit about
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: Lainbow Room Publishing.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 7: Ah, So, Rainbow Room Publishing it is what I call
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 7: a hybrid of a traditional publishing house and a publishing service.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 7: So the first being, you know, thank god Simon and Schuster, Penguin,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 7: those big big names. That's well and not to say
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 7: that only those do that, but the company that would say, hey, Marcus,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 7: we see you have a book.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: We want to pay you for it.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 7: We want to pay to do everything for you and
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 7: and write those big checks and whatnots. So in my case,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 7: that's right check picking that person who that I see
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 7: or somehow we just whatever way it works that I
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 7: just say, hey, you know what, I'm gonna do this
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 7: one for free, and that's not be paying them anything,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 7: but at the same time, it's saving them money because
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 7: then you look on my other side of what I say,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 7: the other half being a publishing service, which is something
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 7: that I employed for my first two books, and it's
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 7: honestly kind of how I really got to have my
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 7: own company because I felt like there was a lot
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 7: of fluff. There was a lot of stuff I paid
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 7: for that I did not get or did not get
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 7: the full value of, and I was like, there's a
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 7: way to make this significantly cheaper. And I don't even
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 7: like that word cost effective because that the quality won't
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 7: be there. When I tell you, the quality is always
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 7: that my stuff looks because like anybody's stuff on the
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 7: bookshelf when you go into a Borders, if you can
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 7: even find what not of Porterstos have been closed.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 6: The Barns and Noble, uh you know shelf.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 7: So it's me providing opportunities for you know, all those
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 7: aspiring authors to publish the unpublished. Like I said, doing
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 7: my best large and a lot of respects to not
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 7: necessarily eliminate, but help to navigate the financial obstacles. It's
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 7: something that I've had to do obviously for thirteen years
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 7: because I hain'te.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 6: Sitting up in no mansion right now.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 5: So I've learned.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 6: How to keep the overhead very low. So yeah, so
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 6: that's that's pretty much it excellent, excellent.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 5: So as a person that is currently writing a book me,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 5: you know, and for yeah, a little known fact, it's
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 5: in the works, and I don't, okay now that I'll
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 5: put it out there. It's out there, but I don't
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 5: like I just.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: I guess I don't want the anxiety of people constantly
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: asking me.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 5: So, how's the book? So, how's the book? How's the book?
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: So I just I've kind of kept my writing on
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: the low because it comes in, you know, spurts. But
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: either way, that being said, it kind of brought to
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: me the question that I kind of wanted to ask you,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: as a publisher and your process, can you walk us
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: through like the typical process of publishing a book from
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: like acquisition to distribution, you know, how does it usually work?
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 7: So and this is perfect beause it allows me to
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 7: kind of run the gamut of the services and that
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 7: sort of thing.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 6: So yes, I've been doing a little while.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 7: So ideally the person sees me the website whatever, and
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 7: we'll put it out there now and I know we'll
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 7: say it later. But if you find the name Eddie
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 7: s Peers, if you find Rango Wrong Publishing, I'm so bad.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 7: Now you can google me, baby, You're gonna find I'm
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 7: a pop up and all of them are gonna lead
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 7: you to the website. But you get to the website,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 7: and ideally, and that's why I send people when they,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 7: you know, have some of these different questions, because I
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 7: purposely made a contact form that is a short way
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 7: for people to give me an idea of what their
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 7: work is without sharing their work. Too many people have
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 7: done this over the years, where they sending people their
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 7: manuscripts and then you look up ten years later and
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 7: you want to argue with Eddie's Eddie Murphy whoever about
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 7: how they stole your story and whether that's true or not.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 7: It will not happen with Eddie Pears and will not
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 7: happen with Rango wom function because I love comptely, but
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 7: in that contact form. You're telling me you know where
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 7: you are in the process of what you need, specifically
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 7: service wise, and then that goes to me. And like
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 7: I tell people, even if I have an hour long
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 7: conversation with you, I need that in print because my
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 7: hours can be so crazy. I can look up at
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 7: three o'clock and say I want to work on something.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 7: I can't call you, I can't text you, and I
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 7: have everything there. It also serves the purpose of you
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 7: starting to talk about your developing your elevator speech. If
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 7: you can't tell me what story is about, you can't
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 7: tell anybody else but my last piece of that last
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 7: piece of that and I both y'all can probably appreciate this.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 6: You probably do this and don't think about it. I
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 6: didn't think about this until.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 7: After I was using the form that a lot of
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 7: times when I'm working with people, there's always some initial
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 7: step that's really really simple, right, and if the person
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 7: can't won't do that, that's probably not somebody I need.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 6: To work with.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 7: Because baby, all I asked you to do was type
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 7: out of a couple of words. Now we got to
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 7: have more in depth conversations. If we are working together,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 7: you got to sign contracts. You gotta know what you're reading.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 6: You on some level gonna have to do your own
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 6: marketing of this.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 7: And so if if it's you can't do that, aren't
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 7: willing to do that, then that's a good indicator for me,
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 7: regardless of how much I need the money, and I
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 7: do need my money, shoot all of that.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 6: So they send me.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 7: That I see it not even having in the website
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 7: that states, you know, you get a three thirty minute
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 7: consultation and we're gonna talk about how that's gonna change
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 7: from free, because baby, these folks will talk to you
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 7: for two hours by the book and never pull the plug,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 7: and doctors and lawyers don't do that.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 6: So that's another conversation to be had.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 7: But you know, we have that consultation, we get some
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 7: more conversation about the work, and let's say, let's storytell
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 7: and go through the thing. So say this person comes
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 7: and they say, hey, I started something, but I haven't finished. Right,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 7: So we got two options there. We have a writing coach.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 7: This all falls on to what I call manuscript development. Right,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 7: you got to make the manuscript, So you got the
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 7: writing coach you can work with who will help you
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 7: write it. You got the ghost writing folks who will
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 7: with some assistance, because you got to bring us something.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 7: My first client, older gentlemen, I love to tell a
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 7: story that I'll keep it super short. He had four
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 7: audio recordings, okay, and now since then I know how
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 7: to turn that into dictation without us having to listen
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 7: and type it out. But I'm just saying that he
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 7: came to me with that. You can come leave with something,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 7: and it better be typewritten. We're not decipher written, no handwriting,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 7: and my handwrite is terrible and I can read it all,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 7: but I'm you're not gonna pay me enough to do that,
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 7: trust me. And so now we've made the manuscript right,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 7: So we moved into bucket number two, as I call it,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 7: which is publishing and.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 6: Production.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 7: So this is okay, we take the manuscript. Now we're
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 7: talking about.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 6: Editing the manuscript. You won't go and talk to hontail,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 6: but we know what that means. We all got a
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 6: general sense of it. Then we look at the layout.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 7: So you're typing the book on or the manuscript more
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 7: than likely on in eight and a half. I love
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 7: and page document. What would print out to be that size?
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 7: But your book will't necessarily be that size. Your book
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 7: will be small or most minor six by nine. So
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 7: we have to interior layout where we take everything and
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 7: it's not just please know, I tried it. It is
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 7: not just shrinking the text. It is so much more
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 7: than just shrinking the text to turn that into your
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 7: book will look like okay, So you actually give.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: People the opportunity to see and actually visualize like what
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: everything is, you know, how everything is going to lay out,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: because I know I've heard stories in the past of
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: where authors have received their books and then there's this like, uh,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: this isn't what I got, or you know, there's always
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: some kind of like publishing you know, error or something
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: that you hear about from so many different authors, and
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming that's not happening over Rainbow.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 7: I know, and largely because I secondhand I've seen a
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 7: lot of that and I don't know.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: It's just here's the thing, it's my name, it's my story.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 7: I'm going to be involved in that process, especially if
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 7: I'm paying you true okay, I'm going to be involved
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 7: in that process. And if I'm not hearing something by
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 7: a certain amount of time, I'm asking, where is something
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 7: I can see to show me that you're working on
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 7: this and you're following in the direction that I want.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: Now, the nature of what I'm doing with the folks
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 6: is we.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 7: Have to have that communication and I'm going to take
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 7: it upon myself to send them stuff back and forth.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 7: And the work will stop if I don't see responses,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 7: because I'm not going to put all this effort into it.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 7: And then later on you say that it's wrong and
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 7: we're not going to fight about the money.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 6: So you just do your homework. Okay, that's what's up.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 5: I like that, So.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 7: The just wrapping it as quickly as I can. So
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 7: basically the production and publishing technically publishing connotation wise, it
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 7: means two things. It means that you've done the book,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 7: but it also means circulation of the book. In this case,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 7: we're talking about doing the book, which is why I
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 7: say publishing and production. So then you're looking at your cover.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 7: Can be a lengthy process depending on how you do
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 7: it or what have you. But you just look at
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 7: book covers, you see how many different ways they can
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 7: come out, so you can imagine how many different processes
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 7: there are.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 6: Then we have to marry those documents.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 7: We have to make sure that wherever we take that
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 7: to print, that it will print correctly and everything will
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 7: be in the same shape that it needs to be in.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 7: Pages are not longer than the cover, whords are not
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 7: spilling off the page or spilling down in the middle
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 7: where the spine meets. Even the idea of having them
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 7: know how many pages you have before you can make
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 7: the cover. You know, it's a lot of stuff that
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 7: I've been talking about throughout this whole process with everybody
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 7: about don't think about this yet, don't think about that yet,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 7: because everything is driven by you haven't done the writing,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 7: then all this stuff comes out.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 6: It just naturally out.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 7: So you got those two documents, You've identify who you're
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 7: printing with.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 6: I recommend, even though.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 7: I have some issues with Bezos, but there are a
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 7: lot of other places that do this. I recommend any
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 7: place that is print on demand, which means that you
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 7: can print as little as one book for that lovely
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 7: four dollars that they used to sell us back in
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 7: the day that if you bought fifty to one hundred bucks,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 7: each book was you know, four dollars. So I recommend
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 7: doing something like that. That's typically what I do. It's
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 7: an awesome way when you think about managing your economy,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 7: especially for those of us who's while it's aren't fat.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 7: The idea that quick story I was, I was so
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 7: broke one time released, and I think it was my
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 7: third book. I couldn't print a copy for myself to
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 7: just have. When I had a pre sale, one of
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 7: my girls bought and nobody knew this was going on.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 7: She bought it. I took that twenty bucks. I went
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 7: to Amazon, I said, girl, I need four. I gave
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 7: her the one. She paid her twenty dollars for it,
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 7: and I have three in my inventory that I can
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 7: sell for twenty a piece. And so we kind of
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 7: set up all of that. We set up a listing
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 7: and that sort of thing. So now the book is,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 7: it's made, it's available for print, it's available for sale.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 6: That moves you to the third.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 7: Bucket and I can really sell this one that really big.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 7: That's marketing and promotion. So that's the idea of trying
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 7: to get on a show like this, trying to get
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 7: somebody to read and write a review like you've worked.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: On for me.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 7: It's any number of other things that I do, even
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 7: including the idea of video interviews.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 6: I've done that with clients as well. So you write
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: down through that whole thing.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 7: And even when you get and this important thing to note,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 7: and I tell people this all the time, even when
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 7: you get to that break between publishing and production and
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 7: then marketing and promotion, every book that I do, for
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 7: one thing, I'm throwing my whole heart and soul into it,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 7: even if it's not mine and I'm getting paid because
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 7: one it's my name.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 6: Of course, you get a bad burger from McDonald's, are
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 6: you going back?
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 5: No?
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 7: Not, And you're talking about top dollars. We're not talking
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 7: about combo meals here, Okay. So I tell them I'm
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 7: gonna do some minimal promotion just off the back. I'm
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 7: gonna do an announcement congratulations to my new client. I'm
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 7: gonna look up at some point in the year and
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 7: lick and those, Hey, it's your anniversary and I need
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 7: to be pubbing some anyway to get some clients in
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 7: happy anniversary markets.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: Smooth.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 7: Come on, you know, the fifth anniversary of your book
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 7: being out and now you're New York.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: Mess out right, So you keep that rapport, So you
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: keep that rapport up with your clients. That even afterwards
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: to see them along their way. And that's important because
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: it's far too often in today's world do we have
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: you know, like after people have your money, they then
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: stop caring about you and it's just like, okay, well yep,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: that was flying, great, have a good day.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 5: You don't see them anymore. So that is one of
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 5: the things that I really appreciate about your brand.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: You also have a podcast, Tell me the name and
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: describe your podcast and for fog words.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 6: A good luck with that one. And I already lost
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 6: all five of those.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 7: Our RP live the initials of the company, so Rainbow
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 7: Room Publishing Live. And I have to admit it's not
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 7: the conventional setup chest shit in the sense where you
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 7: all are doing it regularly. Is very not regimented, but structured.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 7: It's what you expect when somebody says podcasts, you know,
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 7: you don't talk, don't have things and with mind, well okay,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 7: see that.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: Well I'm worse. I'm doing it with one wing. How
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 6: about that? So in my case, it maybe I'm going.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 7: To the African American Museum of History and I'm taking
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 7: some photos and I'm taking some videos, and like I
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 7: showed you one time, I'm not always live, I mean,
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 7: and I make people know honestly when I need them
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 7: to know that I'm live and that we're going to
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 7: do actual interaction. So sometimes it is kind of like
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 7: that roving reporter. I actually kind of playfully did that once.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 7: But it's you know, developing and get into that place
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 7: of being more continuous and being you know, more in
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 7: line with.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 6: Your set up, you know, and that sort of thing.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that. So we're wrapping up an edition of
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 5: In Your Biz here on w R t R. Eddie
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 5: is gonna keep up with the rest of the show. Correct, Yes,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 5: I am awesome some sauce. So it's a lyric. You
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 5: want to do news making noses or real talk? Next?
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 5: You want to just jump into real talk.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: I know you got a mommying to do.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 4: It's okay.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: I'm just listen. I'm cooking dinner, and so if you
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 3: hear a pop, it's just.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: My instaire bop. I'm gonna ask questions what you cook?
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: Lies might have somebody in a minute.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 5: All right, then we'll do the second half of the show.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: Because somebody asked a question and I wanted to Yeah,
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: I want to answer their letter.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 5: So we'll be right.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: Back, all right.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 20: They want to talk about the Ukrainians, God, all of
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 20: these Nazis, Well, let me tell you something. You can
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 20: find Nazis anywhere. You can find them right here in
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 20: the United States.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 19: In fact, a bunch of.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 20: The people that they're calling victims and prisoners of war
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 20: also known as convicted felons from January sixth.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 19: So here's the point.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 20: We have people in this chamber that are actually causing
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 20: just as much a threat, it's not more of a threat.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 19: To our own country.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 20: We should be talking about holding our very own accountable
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 20: for the misinformation and disinformation that they are spreading, whether
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 20: it's coming out of China, whether it's coming out of Russia,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 20: or whoever's pedling it. It is a problem because right
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 20: now what we see is that people are dying and
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 20: we cannot get the support that we need from the
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 20: public because they continue to peddle lives. And I'm tired
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 20: of it, because I didn't come to this chamber to
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 20: play games.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 19: I can't to this chamber to answer to.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 20: The people, the American people, and to make sure that
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 20: we keep the American people safe. And if we don't
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 20: get something done, as they talk about the border. I
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 20: do want to be clear. The only reason we haven't
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 20: gotten funding for the border is because they killed the
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 20: House Republicans here killed the bill that they actually sent
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 20: us from the Senate side. If they want to do
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 20: some work, let me tell you something. The Democrats are ready,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 20: and it seems like the Senate Republicans are ready to.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 20: They just need to get to it and stop peddling
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 20: Putin's lives.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: Take us to word, take us up ago, take us
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: wherever you go.
• 1:35:33

  Speaker 2: especially around lgbtqia issues and personal stories, makes every episode enlightning.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: She says nice things about us, but then she says
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: that she is a college student studying communications. I appreciate
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: how you both merge personal anecdotes with meaningful discussions. Yes,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: you are in college. I thought it would be fun
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: to ask you some lighthearted questions tailored to your unique personalities.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna answer two of her questions for you.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm gonna give you the two questions and
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna answer to for me.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right?
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: For Lyric as a mom, what's one lesson that you've
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: learned from your kids that has influenced your perspective on
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: life or your creative work?
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 4: Listen before responding.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 5: Love it.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: If you could perform a do it with any artist
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: past or present, who would it be?
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 6: And what song would you choose?
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: That is not freaking fair.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 5: It's all.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: Too many.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 4: It's way too many.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know because you know what it used to
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: be Lauren.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 5: Hall, but.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 6: You'd still be waiting for.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 4: She wouldn't show up to the show.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 5: You still be waiting for.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: But man, I'm gonna have to say, Michael Jackson man
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 3: the greatest to ever to ever do it?
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 5: Okay, And.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know what song I wouldn't sing with him?
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: Maybe Lady. Maybe my favorite is Lady in my life
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 3: I think it.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 6: Is is Okay, I think it's gone.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: Tell you that probably that or Brittany Hompston. I really
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: can't pick. That's not a fair question to ask because
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 3: it's way to.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 4: That's with who are no longer been at?
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 5: So all right?
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: And she says, and for you, Marcus, giving your advocacy
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: and experience with lgbt Q I a issues, what is
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: the what's one piece of advice you would give to
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: someone struggling with their identity?
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 5: You know what? I'll let you answer that one first, Eddie.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 6: Struggling with their identity.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 5: Because I know what I would say, but I want
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 5: to see if you.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 7: First start is and this is tricky, but aut knowing, well, okay,
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 7: let's assume this is college age, like you.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 6: Said, uh, and I can kind of remember college age.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 6: Figure out who you are first? Who that is? Who
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 6: that is? Who? Who are you when no one else
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 6: is watching? Who that is?
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 7: Then as you look at that, and I don't know
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 7: exactly what process to tell anybody else to do.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 6: For me, it was very much a spiritual thing of
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 6: me and God talking to him.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 7: Showing me the beauty, the worth and everything that I
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 7: did not see in myself, especially as a black gay man.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 6: But the idea that you need to learn who you
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 6: are first and ultimately fall in love with itself is
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 6: the goal.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: I want to echo that, and I will say unlearned.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: Unlearn your mask is what I would say someone struggle struggling.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 5: Far too many times.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: Do lgbt Q identifying people have to like we have
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: to put on a mask we grow up or where
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: the world tells us that we have to be a
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: certain thing in order to be safe. A lot for
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of us that aren't embracing, and because of
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: those reasons, a lot of us spend a lot of years,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: I guess, trying to fit into a mold of where
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: everybody else wants us to, where we're comfortable, where we're safe,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: where we can comfortably pass and just be ourselves in
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable situations. I would say, unlearned that behavior, and it
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: should make you, well, I'm sorry, It should get you
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: at least one more step closer to becoming whoever the
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: hell it is that you're supposed to be. Second question,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: she said, if you could collaborate on a creative project
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: with any author or filmmaker, who would it be and
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: what would the project entail t b D. I'm going
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: to say, because as far as that goes, as far
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: as like the author stuff.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 5: I'm just venturing into this.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: So I'm trying to figure out who it is that
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: I am before. I mean, I have my inspirations and
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: everything else, of course, but as far as a collab
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: or just you know, I want to solidify meat first
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: hat man.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 5: So there go.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: She says, thank you both for incredible work and creating
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: such a welcoming space for listeners.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to hear your responses. You heard them.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: Warm regards Jessica Collins of Knoxville, Tennessee.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Jackson's so sweet.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that. That was fun, all right, by files love.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 21: Next, we learned your French, we learned your English, or
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 21: Spanish or Dutch or Portuguese.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 19: You're German, you learned our nothing. You called us stupid.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 19: That's white privilege.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 21: And I'm sure it probably hurts me to hear those
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 21: two words, kind of like gunshots and explosions from those
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 21: Commission to protect you whisking past your ears.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 19: What is white privilege?
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 21: It is the only five decades of legal acknowledgment expected
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 21: to correct four hundred years of white transgression.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 19: It is crack versus.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 21: Cocaine, Blacks receiving almost twenty percent longer sentences for the
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 21: same exact defenses are like, for instance, a black man
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 21: without a record is less likely to get a job
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 21: than a white Fela will.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 19: Maybe it's because we're lazy and we don't work out
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 19: in the flame. What the fuck? Four hundred years in
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 19: the same field. Literally is an incredible resume builder.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 21: It is Katrina answering the government's prayers of eugenics, Dick
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 21: Cheney going fishing the next day, Condoleeza on a shopping
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 21: spree bush in San Diego. But Kanye is the one
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 21: you call crazy because like, it only took the USA
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 21: two days to get aid to Asia, but five for
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 21: FEMA to get to Canal Street and Esplanade.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 19: It is the one.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 21: Black kid who beat the shit out of the odds,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 21: but only thanks to Sandra Bullock, Michelle Pfeiffer in the
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 21: white shadow.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 19: So now we all can make it. It is the only.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 21: Time thousands of white people are cheering for the black
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 21: kid to win is in a stadium. It is you
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 21: looking at me crazy. If I told you to go
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 21: back to Europe, even though we didn't have a say
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 21: and your great grandparents came here voluntarily. It is you,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 21: all of a sudden having a problem with immigration, like this.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 19: Isn't even your nation.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 21: How the hell do you discover some shit that wasn't
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 21: even missing to begin with?
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 19: You Columbus are traditions.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 21: Had white girls t working in high definition with multicolored hair.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 19: And purple nails. But it was ghetto when we did it. Well,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 19: am I making you uncomfortable? Try a cramped slave ship
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 19: for wait.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 21: Slavery is over now it's just called the prison system
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 21: because like, you're not racist because you don't use the
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 21: N word, but y'all use niggas every day.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 19: What is white privilege.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 21: Is the acceptance of bombs over Baghdad but not of
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 21: a Boston. It is European history being taught as.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 19: A major in African as an elective. It is learning
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 19: about my people's only twenty eight days, Like I'm not black.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 21: Every fucking second is every white boy who wants to
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 21: fuck my brains out, not because I'm pretty, but because
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 21: I'm pretty for a black girl. As people thinking that
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 21: Africa is one nation. It is the waving of the
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 21: Confederate flag like you didn't lose the battle, and then
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 21: telling us to get over slavery. It's people saying that
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 21: black people destroyed neighborhoods, but forgetting that white people have
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 21: destroyed continents. Is every time I bring up my plight,
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 21: some white man has to tell me that I'm crazy,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 21: But it's kind enough to praise my English or say
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 21: that we are all given the same opportunities, even though
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 21: he has a family history of wealth and I don't
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 21: even know my family history at all.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 19: It is the justification of police.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 21: Brutality, like what did that person do?
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 21: I'm sure it doesn't hurt as much when the victim doesn't.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 3: Look like you.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 21: It's people thinking that affirmative action is an unfair advantage
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 21: instead of keeping the qualified from being unfairly disadvantaged, or
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 21: throwing out a qualified applicant because their names sounded to
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 21: African American and his newports imported into black communities, but
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 21: black boys explored it for weed and it's big classic
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 21: assides it is a called fat when we naturally have them.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 21: Is an Australian woman who's new classic of rap music
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 21: is everyone who hears this poem dismisses all this truth
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 21: I just spit as reverse racism, that is white privilege.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 4: Why do you have religion?
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 22: Why?
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 15: Why?
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 5: Why? Why do my children hate me?
• 1:45:02

• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: What you got missed lyrics?
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 3: My why comes from me all hell, and it's the
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: piggyback what I said off earlier. Why do some of
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 3: y'all black owned businesses just can't get y'all act together?
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 6: Why do y'all.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 3: Treat the people who come in there so time? I
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 3: don't understand that it be us doing it to us?
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 5: Why is that not always? But yeah, I get it, and.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: You know what, it sucks because we I know, at
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: least you and I have been hard on by black
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: We've done everything like just over the years, for the
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: TV show to the radio show. Just it's always been
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: us helping us that came off real gig.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 5: But you know what I'm saying, either way, I did.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: There's a there's an organization here in DC called US
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: Helping Us anyways. But you know it, it's discouraging because
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: we we do.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 5: But I don't know. It's a double edged sword because
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 5: and on one.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 2: Part of me wants to be like, you know, we
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: pour money into all these white and well known establishments
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: and don't necessarily give to ourselves, but then you know,
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 2: you have experiences like the one that you have, and then.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 5: It's hard to advocate for things.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 4: So I don't know, And let's be clear, I go
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 4: to the manager for both.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 3: I don't make that service, whether it's in a white
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 3: establishment or a black established.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 7: I'm wishing on some of them. I wish on some
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 7: level we could take the black out of black owned
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 7: businesses and maybe just leave it more general as small businesses,
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 7: which we a lot of times.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 6: There's a correlation there, right, you know, the black owned
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 6: business being a.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 7: Small also getting a small small business. But I know,
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 7: I totally feel you. I totally feel you. It's why
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 7: I go so hard. It's why I go so hard
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 7: because and it ain't even just about being black, It's
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 7: about because it's my business, okay, and I'm gonna do it.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: Also, we need to stop walking Yeah, but we need
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: to also stop walking into these situations.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 5: Not saying that you did lyric, but some people need
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 5: to stop walking into these situations thinking that you're gonna
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 5: get the homie hooked up too, because that can.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 4: Let me get it.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah exactly. Oh well, you know you know what I'm saying.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 5: Brothers were both struggling your.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 4: Will.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 3: I learned my lesson this year about giving the homie discount.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 4: Never again, my price is my prize, my price who
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 4: else is?
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 3: Because you're not going into no Gucci star and then
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: oh let me get a discount. Let me get these
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: Gucci shades for this amount of dollars. Not you're not
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 3: doing that. You're gonna pay that bread so.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 6: And that I mean that speaks to the idea too,
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 6: that it's it's a give and take.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 7: They're gonna only treat you as a business if you
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 7: present as a business.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 4: And even when it.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 7: Comes to that piece we talked about those looking for
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 7: the homey discount, let's be there. There are some of
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 7: us who got business is who just kind of feel like, oh,
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 7: they're black, They're gonna give me a pass at the
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 7: quality ain't there too?
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 22: You know?
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 6: So you we both we've got accountability.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 6: In all of that. The only thing I ever go.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 7: In hard on people about is when they want to
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 7: talk about sometimes about the pricing. And that's when you're
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 7: talking about a mom and pop versus even somebody that's
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 7: a franchised McDonald's, you know, owner. They don't have the
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 7: backing and things like that that some other people do have,
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 7: and therefore their prices would be higher.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 6: But that's another thing that I go back to with
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 6: my own business.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 7: If my prices are gonna be higher, then these services
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 7: better be banging.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, exactly, Let's be realistic, because there's no
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: reason we paid for exactly.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 5: But see, let's be realistic.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: There's no reason that them same sliders that I can
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: get at McDonald's for five dollars are twenty dollars.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 5: For two sliders at your old price. Well, you know
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 5: I'm talking about I'm just talking about sliders.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 6: No, I'm just saying.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 7: I'm just saying, take a product any product, take any product,
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 7: right if that product is the main thing that brings
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 7: the money into the business. But that money also has
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 7: to pay the people, pay the overhead, pay all these
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 7: different things. I can see the I can see the
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 7: ripple effect.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: But huh, I'm saying I don't need to be the
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: only ripple. I'm not your only cousin. Yeah, definitely about
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: to make your net sales off of me.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, that is absolutely not what's going
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 7: to happen. Any other business would do, right you you
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 7: here come markets and he's coming in as a client
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 7: or whatever.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 6: I'm giving him a.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 7: Discount so I can make sure I get his business,
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 7: and he gonna more than likely bring all these more
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 7: people into me. But every Joe blow whatever ain't gonna
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 7: just come up in here. Ah, all I got is
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 7: doing a Chris Rock, you know. Can you pour it
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 7: in my hand for a dime and give me one rip?
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 7: No business to stand and run like that. Actually, my
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 7: family owns a barbecue restaurant. They ain't planning like that.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 7: We got bills to pay too.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 5: Absolutely while they're.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 4: Because the truth is out there, and give me my
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 4: clean here.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna just do this one from Erica from
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 5: North Carolina. She wants to know why do white people.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: Feel a need to hold on to the idea of superiority.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: What is it that they have, What is it that
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: they feel is so superior that needs protecting?
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 6: Wow?
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 5: I had to pull that. Can I please tap by
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 5: all me go for it? Because I am.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 6: Of the theory and it just hit me.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 7: In recent years, they know our superiority, they know our greatness.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 6: It's you look at our history.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 7: You look at how much effort has gone into oppressing
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 7: us and pushing us down and telling us who we
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 7: aren't and making up these lies making us subservient.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 6: Great experience.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 7: I just went again to the UH after the Museum
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 7: of African American History or Heritage.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 6: And Culture is too many words forget it.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 7: But the thing in DC the they pretty thing, but
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 7: all the black stuff and you had the slaves of
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 7: the cabin And I walked in and my head was
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 7: here at the door, and I said to myself, my
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 7: educated solf first said, oh, they do talk about how
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 7: people were stereotypically shorter back in the day because like Abraham,
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 7: like a no no hold on Abraham, Lincoln was an
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 7: abnormality because he was so tall.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 6: And I had been into some other historical places.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 7: Unfortunately, somebody took me to a freaking plantation and I
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 7: saw the tiny beds that was supposed to sleep in,
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 7: and I couldn't slept in these beds. But coming back
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 7: to the to the to the cabin. In the cabin,
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 7: I had the epiphany me and God was talking. He
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 7: was like, baby, listen, our people have always been, even
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 7: though I'm on the shorter end, our people have always.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 6: Been to come down. See you can see me, you know.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 7: And so I said, man, the man had to bow
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 7: to enter his own house.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 6: That is by design.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And that is why I think they are so
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 7: fierce with it, because it's something that the idea of
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 7: why I won't take or steal something because I always
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 7: feel I didn't get it the right way, and I'll
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 7: always give on my guard to keep it. This idea
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 7: of superiority that they have was born out of falsehoods,
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 7: and they are going to put all this effort into
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 7: keeping it.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 6: And I feel that the majority of.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 7: Them know deep down, they know, oh this hair, that's
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 7: why you wanted this skin, That's why you wanted this
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 7: fat ass.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 6: That's why you wanted this big at gonna say that
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 6: that's why.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 5: You want it, m what you got l fear.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 3: They know that if there's ever a time where black
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 3: people really unite and come together, we're gonna stop on everything. Honestly,
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 3: that's all that needed to happen back in those days.
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 4: But that's why.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 3: That's why they did so much of hanging us, separating families,
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 3: cause causing division, other stuff that they that they did
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 3: to us.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 5: I just know.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 3: That they really feared us.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 2: I just know that I'm looking at the political comat
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: right now and I'm looking at you know, just Trump
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: and his presence and what he represents, empowering so many
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 2: other people to just wile out White people like they
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 2: just they feel like they're unleashed at this point, and
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 2: you know, they feel like they can say They feel
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: like they can say anything, they feel.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 5: Like they can do anything.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 2: And it's just like this letter says, like, what is
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 2: it that you feel like you need technic?
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 5: What is it that you feel the superior? Because we're
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 5: best you wents uh in athletics.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 13: We are intelligent, more intelligent, are are actually able to
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 13: go out into the sun without burning to a crisp
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 13: like there are so many different things that uh as
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 13: just melanated people and who we are that threat Like
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 13: when you've literally spent your entire life stealing everything from
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 13: everywhere you then are scared of having taken back.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: They literally have nothing everything. And this is I'm not
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 2: dragging white people. What I'm saying is that what is
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 2: your culture?
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 5: White people?
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 3: Because sports, like you said, what do you What have
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 3: you contributed even to things that were made for for
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 3: the US inventions?
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 4: What have you contributed?
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: Wherever we are, there's always Black people are always like
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 2: whatever situation, wherever we find ourselves, we automatically gravitate to
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: the order of the black people in the room and
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: we just have a shared bond. We have shared experiences,
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 2: we have shared looks of vibes, just everything, and it's
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: just all in here. White people, What is your culture?
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 6: One?
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 7: Saving grace and the thing that makes some of this
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 7: song pertaining to me? I love some irony, baby, y'all
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 7: love me some irony. All this ship is your fault
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 7: because you came over to Africa and invented this concept
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 7: of race. Okay, And if we had have been left
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 7: alone on our own, if we were respected as equals.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 7: You would have gone down this track of stealing everything
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 7: that you claim is yours now and being so desperate
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 7: to keep it. And when you speak to that fear,
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 7: it's the fear of the retaliation.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 6: Y'all know that I would go Jesus on this.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 7: I know the things that I deserve because of the
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 7: things I've done, okay, and the idea of all that
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 7: grace being stripped away, Holy shit, I would freak out too.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 7: I would be worried as that, Oh yeah, you're gonna
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 7: be mad at me because I hit Marcus on on
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 7: the arm one day. I'm looking for him to hit
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 7: me back at some point, at some point. That's why
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 7: I think a lot of this is But y'all kicked
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 7: this ship off, and we finna get it in.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 6: You know, you could have left us what we was,
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 6: let us do.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 7: Our thing, and that white if they hadn't identified, if
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 7: they hadn't messed up and identified themselves as white, they
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 7: can still say I'm Italian. Italians have culture, I'm Spanish,
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 7: Spanish has culture, French French ass culture.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 6: England I don't entirely get it. They have culture. But
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 6: where the white white was here?
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 3: Where the did white come from?
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 5: See, this is one of my aliens.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 3: Y'all, mean, even from here, there was people who was
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 3: already living here already.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 5: The aliens are the lizard people. No, I'm playing, and let's.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 6: Talk about it.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 7: Let's talk about real if you don't mind. It was
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 7: a Native American who looked up and said, oh, y'all
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 7: trying to enslave us.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 6: I know these Africans are a bit more durable.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 7: He get over to England with them and pitch this
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 7: to the folks in England, and that's the ship that
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 7: kicked off.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 6: Oh well, let's go get all these black folks's stay it.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 6: We have to do a special yeah episode just.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 5: Miss Erica.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you got your answer, because the truth is out there,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: that rap. This WI files were always answering why for
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 2: you at w r t R Radio on Twitter.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 5: I guess we're going.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 2: To skip news making noxious and go right into real
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: chalk this week, which is what's killing relationships nowadays.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 5: We'll be right back, y'all.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 23: Niggas are so embarrassing, like beyond embarrassing. I know y'all
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 23: are not on the fucking internet asking for child support, forgiveness,
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 23: child support forgiveness. Kamala is proposing to give y'all money
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 23: to start a business, the fund of business. Y'all are
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 23: asking to remove the child support that you did not
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 23: fucking pay take care of you like there is already
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 23: a stereotype associated with black fathers. And then y'all gonna
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 23: get y'all asses on the fucking internet talking about can
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 23: you forgive child support?
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 3: Just fucking embarrassing.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 22: You know, I love my people. I wouldn't want to
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 22: be anything but a black man if God asked me
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 22: in the next life, what race I want to go
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 22: back is? I'm picking black every day of the week
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 22: and twice on Sundays. But I feel like some of
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 22: us it should be slaves again.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 10: Some of us should be slaves again according to what
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 10: and based on what see? Some of us have internalized
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 10: the inferiority of our own people so much you believe
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 10: there are particular qualities that make them deemed good for slavery.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 6: You know I thought the same way. Massive. What's backs
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 6: the question?
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 10: Can we be critical of each other without engaging in
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 10: plantation politics or refine these tropes about enslavement?
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 6: He had being the first half too.
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 10: I'm talking about yeah, I love being my race too,
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 10: you know what I'm saying, And I wouldn't shoot with
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 10: the nelts. But then you said something that was the
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 10: most anti black antithetical things.
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 6: Everything that you just said that was crazy, and you
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 6: said it on blad TV.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 10: Because I think it would be bad if somebody said
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 10: that you need to be enslave for what you and
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 10: Tiffany Hads did and their skit with their boy.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 10: They would be crazy, would it?
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 5: What?
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: Hundred? Hey, it's real jog wrg R, Real Talk Radio.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: We keep it real, all right.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 5: We're black, We're black.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 2: And inside of this week's edition of Real Talk, we
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 2: are talking this week what is killing relationships Nowadays? I
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 2: asked this question online and it sparked a whole debate
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 2: and it then pivoted over into this whole thing with
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 2: a tender profile as anyway, asking what you all think?
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 2: And I guess I'll open it to our current panel
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 2: before I start reading the the answer.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 5: Yes, what do you think, mister Eddie B What are
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 5: we going on?
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 7: Oh God, that is so multilary, and I'm trying to
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 7: keep it short.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 6: I will say.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 5: What is killing relationships now?
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 7: I think on some level, part of the problem is
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 7: that relationships, while they still exist, the context in which
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 7: we view them what they're supposed to be, has changed.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 6: How do we go about them, how do we require them?
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 7: Thinking about some of them letters and the responses earlier,
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 7: I think about the idea that back in the day
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 7: and ship not too long ago for us, you dated
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 7: till marriage, right you you you got to know each other.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 7: That's kind of what I'm trying to say, before we
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 7: get into any of these long term relationships. And I
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 7: know a lot of reasons why people jump into them
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 7: really quick and what have you, But I feel that
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 7: a lot of it starts with it starting off wrong
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 7: and it probably being something that didn't necessarily especially think
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 7: about it as a gay man, something that should have
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 7: been a friendship versus a sexual hook up or even
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 7: a romantic.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 5: Encounter that is true. What's your thinking that's later?
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 3: I would have to say, unrealistic expectations, unhealed trauma, terrible.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 2: Communication, horrible Those are my top three off the internet menu.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 2: Cook says people jumping in them when they aren't ready
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 2: or qualified. We see im Mullen says, women carrying fifty percent.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, ninety percent of the load, especially when children
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 2: are involved. I just spent five days with my daughter
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 2: and she's exhausted. They have a six year old, and
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 2: my daughter works full time and does ninety percent of
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 2: the domestic chores, planning, scheduling, doing. Then when she's so
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 2: exhausted she gets grumpy, she's told that she needs to
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 2: calm down. See Amanda Ford says narcissism, lack of healing
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 2: from past relationships, which is what you said, miss Lyric.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 2: Emotional unavailability, fear of being made a fool of or
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 2: love not being reciprocated, lack of patience and understanding with
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 2: their partner, lack of respect, too many outside influences and
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 2: not enough solid internal influences. Somebody uh ya Wayne Smith's
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 2: dishonesty with oneself. Elmer Pal says, lack of communication. Lourie,
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 2: it's Laurie love. She says, not being true about your
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 2: sexual preferences. And that doesn't mean gay, that just means
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 2: sexual preferences you know all around because a lot of
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 2: y'all are into stuff, then you be trying to get
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 2: other people into stuff.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 5: Dressing up like Odie and Garfield and.
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 6: Within the gay in the gay community.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 7: The guy that's pretending to bet to be a top
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 7: versus a bottom and all that business, and y'all get
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 7: in and somebody all the time.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 5: To be in the top all the time with the gays.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 5: We could go in on all the ways that goes wrong.
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 2: But anyways, let's see William Pulinarian Bellamone and someone else said,
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 2: they all.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 5: Said social media as a collective, and.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 2: I want to know, like, what is going on on
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 2: social media that y'all think that that is what is
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 2: wrong with the relationships.
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 5: That's like saying guns kill people.
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 6: Guns don't kill people.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 5: People kill peace.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 2: Well, whether it's social media or not, whether it's social
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 2: media gasing it or not, if that person is going
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 2: to cheat regardless that if Martin Zuckerberger or whoever ever
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 2: decided tom any of them niggas, if they ever, if
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 2: they never decided to open a platform, and that nigga
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 2: was gonna cheat, they gonna cheat.
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 5: It just is what it is.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 2: Stop making this about the thing like it's well, that's
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 2: my thing.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 7: I would just add that, like any too, social media
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 7: makes a lot of things easier, okay, And so that
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 7: idea of connectivity. Think about how many people like like, okay,
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 7: pure platonic example, I fell in love with the two
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 7: of you and I've never met you, and it's purely
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 7: through social media. And I feel like I know you,
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 7: even though I know I don't know you. Know you, right,
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 7: So imagine that person that's you know.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 6: I look at like.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 7: Relationships where And this is why I can say that
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 7: if you're in a home, you need to have a
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 7: certain amount of space. You need to have enough space
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 7: to be each other and to be separate in the house,
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 7: because when things kick off, a lot of times, first
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 7: thing we want to do is leave the house.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 6: Now in this case, you have in.
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 7: Both cases opened yourself up to the possibility of doing
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 7: some things you wouldn't necessarily do.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 6: And I hear you on the person that's gonna cheat's
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 6: gonna cheat.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 7: I don't feel that that's always, and there's there's never
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 7: never and never always. It's it's about circumstances and and things.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 7: And I'm not advocating for anybody doing anything, but I
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 7: can imagine how easy it is to get fixated on
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 7: somebody that you think is this perfect idea of a
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 7: mate that you've only interacted with on social media.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 6: And before we had social media, we didn't have that.
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 7: You had to go outside, you had to and if
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 7: you were outside, we didn't have keep in mind, we
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 7: didn't have dipping off in the d MS back in
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 7: the day. Best we can do is maybe a voicemail
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 7: and somebody at home might have checked that voice. So
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 7: I'm just saying all of it makes it easier.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 2: I come from I come from the school of do
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: you like me? Check yes or no?
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 5: Because I don't know what you girls were doing when
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 5: I was doing this.
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 6: My first crush, I found her number in the phone book.
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I mean, I'm just saying that,
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 7: while it does not necessarily cause it, it's definitely exactly. See. Yeah,
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 7: it's a tool in this house. It's how it's being you.
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 7: So I would love for them to have elaborated when
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 7: they said social media.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 5: Well what one person did social media? William Culinarian said,
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 5: social media people want these incidents just as water and
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 5: stir ass relationships, just so they can get on here
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 5: and boast about it and other.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 2: Faces, only to be only to be a church mouse
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 2: a few weeks later. I have to change in the
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 2: relationship status the single and they'll do this multiple time
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 2: of year as fos.
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 5: So it's true people do this.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 4: It is who are you?
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 3: Who are you in the relationship for you are your
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 3: social media fans.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 5: But that's not a social media issue. That's a you
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 5: not working through whatever issues it is that gets you
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 5: to need this desire to seem like you're somebody that
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 5: you're not, or to force yourself into a situation that
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 5: is not ideal for yourself for the enjoyment of others.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 5: That's a therapy thing.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 7: But that's that's part that's a therapy thing.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 6: But well that is part of part of that too.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 7: And you speak to therapy, you speak to psychology, you
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 7: speak to psyche and and that's part of the thing
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 7: too with social media, and we tend to forget this
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 7: ship is by design, even that elgorithm, it's design is
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 7: shitit right, It makes us want to fall in love
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 7: with these ideas and these objects and these people and
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 7: these filtered pictures and these relationship goals posts and things
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 7: like that.
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 6: Before we had that.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 7: And please understand, like I said, I'm not bashing it,
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 7: but I just I'm old enough to know and remember
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 7: the time before we had a twenty four hour news cycle,
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 7: before we had twenty four hour social media where shit
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 7: is just constantly pumped into us. And honestly, even if
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 7: even when I turned off social media and people that
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 7: know me, they know I would go gos.
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 6: For like a year, year and a half, you will
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 6: not see me on social media. But there's still a TV,
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 6: there's still a radio.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 7: But it's like I said, it's just making a lot
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 7: of things more accessible to our detriments. And then you
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 7: have the psychological play on the brain that's taking place
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 7: when you are so engaged in this thing.
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 6: You know how addictive it can be.
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 7: So like I said, I'm not saying that it's the
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 7: main factor, not saying it, but I do say that
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 7: it is a contributing factor.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And closing, I guess I would just say, like,
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 2: you know, like I said in my opinion is I
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: just believe honestly that relationships nowadays you just have to
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 2: take the time and to speak to what William said,
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 2: it is true that people want instant gratification and we
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 2: don't take the time that we possibly should to maybe
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 2: iron out the details of things before we jump in them.
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 2: And I know, especially for gay people, a lot of
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 2: us find it hard enough to find other gay people
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: let alone other gay people.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 5: That we like and get along with and are compatible with.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 5: And a lot of times I think a lot of
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 5: us misconstrue friendship for maybe a little bit more because
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 5: we don't have proximity to anything else, I know, just
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 5: for you know, some of us, and that can be
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 5: true across all sexuality. Is not just yet. But anyways,
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 5: oh what you got?
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 3: John Day responded on my post lack of communication, lack
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 3: of mutual respect for others, boundaries, need for constant validation
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 3: or reassurance, and this one expecting the person to remain
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 3: the exact same as if growth is not a thing.
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 6: Crashed and burned. That's done.
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 3: Work. With that being said, I think we hit most
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 3: of the.
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 5: Thing and hopefully we answered that question. And shout outs
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 5: to Tenara for coming up with that topic. Tonara is
• 2:11:52
