- 1:14Speaker 2: broke loose.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Let's go to Cruiz News today for the report. Please.

- 1:25Speaker 3: Twenty nine year old Gannon Jaycox and twenty eight year
- 1:29Speaker 3: old Brooklyn Hicks became involved in an argument after another
- 1:33Speaker 3: passenger asked them to quiet down. Investigators allege the pair
- 1:38Speaker 3: then forced their way into the passenger's cabin, where a
- 1:42Speaker 3: fight broke out involving three people, including a nine year
- 1:45Speaker 3: old child. Both were arrested when the ship returned to
- 1:49Speaker 3: Port Canaveral on Saturday. Jacox faces his charges including burglary

- 2:02Speaker 3: not identify which cruise ship the incident occurred aboard, and.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Uncle rucks to describe the situation for me.
- 2:09Speaker 3: That powerful niggady at work.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Oh nigga's going nigga, you hear me?
- 2:14Speaker 2: Okay, all this Ohio couple had to do was actually
- 2:17Speaker 2: just simmer down.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Imagine you and your boot yelling at each other angry,
- 2:21Speaker 2: and then y'all go take that anger and projecting on
- 2:24Speaker 2: a whole other family, including a nine year old child,
- 2:27Speaker 2: just because they told.
- 2:28Speaker 1: You could you please be quiet?
- 2:30Speaker 2: All right? Stories like this always make me think about
- 2:33Speaker 2: how expensive ego is. This is why I be telling
- 2:37Speaker 2: y'all you have to do your jail math. Okay, the decision,
- 2:41Speaker 2: the decision you.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Are making add up? Okay?
- 2:43Speaker 2: Can you afford to do what it is you're about
- 2:45Speaker 2: to do because now you got to pay for.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Bail and a lawyer.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Ego is expensive, okay, Expensive when it comes to peace
- 2:51Speaker 2: of mind, expensive when it comes to your freedom, expensive
- 2:54Speaker 2: when it comes to your time. It can cost you everything,
- 2:58Speaker 2: all right, those moments where your whole life can change
- 3:02Speaker 2: because for thirty seconds, you couldn't tolerate somebody telling you
- 3:06Speaker 2: something you didn't want to hear.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Another passenger simply asked you to quiet down. That's it.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Nobody threatened your life, nobody putting hands on you. Somebody
- 3:15Speaker 2: basically said, hey, can y'all keep it down? And somehow
- 3:18Speaker 2: that led to two grown adults following people back to
- 3:21Speaker 2: their cabins, forcing their way inside, and fighting a family,
- 3:24Speaker 2: including putting hands on a nine year old child. Not
- 3:28Speaker 2: every feeling requires a reaction, and not every perceived disrespect
- 3:32Speaker 2: requires a response. Okay, nothing y'all did was tough. Nothing
- 3:36Speaker 2: y'all did was gangster. You put hands on a nine
- 3:38Speaker 2: year old. You go to hell for at least thirty
- 3:40Speaker 2: days for putting hands on a nine year old, even
- 3:42Speaker 2: if you get baptized and saved.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:43Speaker 2: See, sometimes the strongest thing you can do is here's
- 3:47Speaker 2: something you don't like, accept it, and keep it moving.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:50Speaker 2: What I've realized, is a man born in nineteen hundred
- 3:52Speaker 2: and seventy eight, is that adulthood is really just a
- 3:55Speaker 2: long series of opportunities to ask yourself is worth what
- 4:00Speaker 2: could happen next?
- 4:02Speaker 1: Just ask yourself that simple question.
- 4:03Speaker 2: If Gannon and Brooklyn would have just asked themselves that
- 4:06Speaker 2: question all would be right in their world. Okay, you're
- 4:09Speaker 2: on a cruise. You're supposed to be relaxing. Just an
- 4:13Speaker 2: ocean breeze. It's unlimited food, it's an all inclusive drink package.
- 4:17Speaker 2: I'm sure the Cupid shuffle was happening by the pool. Okay,
- 4:20Speaker 2: you're in the middle of the ocean on vacation. What
- 4:22Speaker 2: the hell does that argue about? First of all, Second,
- 4:25Speaker 2: somebody asks you to lawyer your voice because they are
- 4:27Speaker 2: enjoying everything I just described and everything y'all should have
- 4:30Speaker 2: been enjoying, and you get upset. Now you have two options.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Option one, all right, my bad, keep it moving. Okay,
- 4:38Speaker 2: you do that. You wake up the next morning in
- 4:40Speaker 2: the Bahamas. Option two, which should have never crossed your mind,
- 4:44Speaker 2: turned it into a confrontation. Follow somebody to their room,
- 4:46Speaker 2: allegedly force your way inside by the family, smack a
- 4:49Speaker 2: nine year old. And now instead of waking up thinking
- 4:52Speaker 2: about an excursion, you're waking up thinking about.
- 4:54Speaker 1: A court appearance. Okay.
- 4:56Speaker 2: That's the part of human nature that will always fascinate me,
- 4:59Speaker 2: and it scares me about being a human because people
- 5:02Speaker 2: we will sacrifice something enormous just to defend something incredibly small. Okay,
- 5:07Speaker 2: we'll sacrifice our freedom to defend our pride. We're willing
- 5:11Speaker 2: to sacrifice our reputations to defend our fragile egos. Some
- 5:14Speaker 2: humans are willing to say f tomorrow because I got
- 5:16Speaker 2: to put hands on this person today. And don't blame
- 5:19Speaker 2: it on the alcohol either. Okay, alcohol doesn't create every
- 5:22Speaker 2: bad decision. Being drunk might explain why your judgment wasn't paired,
- 5:25Speaker 2: but it doesn't magically create your character.
- 5:28Speaker 1: You was who you was before you got drunk.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Plenty people drink and don't break into somebody else's cruise
- 5:33Speaker 2: cabin and start swinging on a family, including a nine
- 5:36Speaker 2: year old, just because they got told to be quiet.
- 5:38Speaker 2: All right, at some point we have to stop acting
- 5:40Speaker 2: like emotional regulation as some advanced spiritual practice. It's basic adulthood. Okay,
- 5:46Speaker 2: you're going to get irritated in life. You're going to
- 5:48Speaker 2: feel disrespected. You're going to encounter people who annoy you,
- 5:51Speaker 2: people who tell you no, people who tell you you're wrong,
- 5:54Speaker 2: people who ask you to lower your voice and shut
- 5:56Speaker 2: the f up. The question isn't whether life is going
- 5:59Speaker 2: to press you button. The question is who's operating the
- 6:02Speaker 2: machine when the button gets pressed. Is it you are
- 6:06Speaker 2: your ego? Because once your ego takes the wheel, common
- 6:09Speaker 2: sense usually.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Gets put in the trunk.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Please let remy ma give Cannon, Jay Cox and Brooklyn
- 6:15Speaker 2: Hicks the biggest e huh he.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Haw he haw, you stupid mother? Are you dumb?
- 6:21Speaker 2: I can't even tell you all that that the dude
- 6:23Speaker 2: Gannon was recording the whole thing too.
- 6:26Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You see what I'm saying.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Think about how crazy coaches become.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Like people aren't even trying to de escalate conflict anymore,
- 6:35Speaker 2: they just trying to document it.
- 6:37Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Come on, man, I agree
- 6:40Speaker 1: with you.
- 6:42Speaker 4: But but we already saw the picture, you know, and
- 6:46Speaker 4: I know that the person.
- 6:47Speaker 3: Didn't say excuse me, can you just lower it a
- 6:49Speaker 3: little bit behind?
- 6:51Speaker 4: I'm sure it was like, yo, shuck the f fuck.
- 6:54Speaker 4: I'm I'm sure it wasn't excuse me, excuse me, I
- 6:58Speaker 4: might have my kid with me, I'm sure, or you
- 7:00Speaker 4: got disrespectful, and I'm sure that's where it started from.
- 7:03Speaker 3: It didn't start from excuse me, sir, excuse me, ma'am.
- 7:06Speaker 1: You know you guys are arguing. Can you just please
- 7:07Speaker 1: lord just a little and it was already mad. They
- 7:10Speaker 1: was arguing then they already about that life. I was like, Yo,
- 7:13Speaker 1: this is a would just shut up? Would y'all be quiet?
- 7:16Speaker 1: I'm from I'm from Brooklyn, I'm from Detroit. What up doe?
- 7:18Speaker 1: What up dope? Period?
- 7:21Speaker 4: There we go and everybody band I'm not saying it's right.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I'm not saying it's right.
- 7:25Speaker 2: You say a lot of things that make us realize
- 7:27Speaker 2: why you end up in the situations you went, because
- 7:29Speaker 2: there's no reason to justify it would happen.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I didn't if that.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Person said it in that don't you force your way
- 7:35Speaker 2: into a cabin on the whole family, including a nine.
- 7:38Speaker 1: I didn't say that.
- 7:39Speaker 3: I said, you're right, I said, but there's.
- 7:42Speaker 4: No You made it seem like you made it seem
- 7:44Speaker 4: like they were like, excuse me, can you just slow
- 7:45Speaker 4: it down a little bit?
- 7:46Speaker 1: No, I'm sure that wasn't the case. I'm sure. I
- 7:48Speaker 1: don't care. Fun, I don't care how they said it.
- 7:52Speaker 2: You know the ways to say in somebody's cabin and
- 7:57Speaker 2: putting you are right.
- 8:00Speaker 1: But there's no butt.
- 8:01Speaker 2: The butt is why your dumb ass being beaige raide situation.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Don't I don't be in beaged Raicher. I'm actually a
- 8:08Speaker 1: very calm individual.
- 8:09Speaker 4: Yes, but shut up busting into somebody's cabinets, creamy beating
- 8:17Speaker 4: up the nine year old, I said, you know.
- 8:21Speaker 1: But all right, well, thank you for that.
