  Speaker 1: Here we are, guys, our last break of the day
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: on this Thursday.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: And Steve, Hey, you know something.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: I was online and I saw a tribute song to
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Malcolm Jamal Warner by R. Kelly and I listened to
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: it and man, oh man, oh man, what a great
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: song man. That song was so powerfully written, and it
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: was written by R.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Kelly. Not listen to me.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I know what R Kelly is in jail for, and
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't put him there, most certainly I didn't. I'm
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: not to judge the jury. It is not my job
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: to judge people. And I understand how people delve out forgiveness.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: If it don't happen to you, it's probably easier to
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: forgive than it is for anybody else. I got all
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: of that. I'm just talking about the song. The song
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: was a great tribute to Malcolm Jamal Warner, and I
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: thought the song was so well done. And kudos to R.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Kelly for doing that. Whatever he is and for whatever
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: he's in for. And I know that people want to happen.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: How could you listen to something that something? Hey man,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I got a lot of friends that made lot of mistakes.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I had a lot of friends now R Killer and
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I were never friends, but that's not my position. I'm
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: just talking about the song and if you get a
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: chance to listen to it, it's a good listen. Great
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: song by R. Kelly for this brother who meant so
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: much to the culture. Just shout out, okay, Junior, what
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: you got.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: So I was talking with some fellas man, and we
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: were just talking about the pressures of stuff, you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: with the society that were living in everything happened in
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: this country. And some of the men were just saying, man,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about what if I fail, What if I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: lose you know what, I quit? What if I dot
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: dot dot? They just kept naming things, and I said,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask Uncle Steve and see how he talked
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to men about these type of situations.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Well, you know you can what if you're way out
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: of so many situations. You know, whenever I come up
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: with an idea and it to the team, what I
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: will not allow my team to do is to come
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: back to me and tell me why it won't work.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I know why it won't work. That's not why I
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: have the idea. Every idea you come up with is
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: going to have opposition to it. Every idea you come
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: up with will have the challenges that come with every idea.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Any thought of changing anything is going to come with
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: an equal and opposite reaction. So when I go to
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: my team and I say I got this new idea,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I don't need you telling me why it won't work.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I got all that. How can we make it work?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: The opposition will present itself anyway. So, folks, if I
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: were you, I would get out of the what if
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: business because what if business is kind of like statistics,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: you know, and what I've learned about statistics. Statistics is
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: for you losers. Man for statistics off of people who
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: want to justify when something didn't go their way. One
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: out of every ten people, one out of a you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: if you play the lottery is one out of a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: billion chance.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: But somew when somebody hit the lottery, though, now what
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you're looking crazy for?
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: You didn't play it, but that person took the one
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: out of a billion chance. It is the chances in
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: life that pay off. If you never take the chance,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that will never be a payoff. You only win when
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: you risk, You only win when you play the game.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: You only score when you shoot the ball. Well, what
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: if I missed the shot. Well, keep dribbling there. What
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: that do? Just keep dribbling? What if he dropped the ball?
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: When I throw the touchdown pass, I'll tell you what.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Don't throw it. Just let your receiver run up the
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: field and never throw the ball. So you don't get
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: an incompletion on your record. But guess what. You don't
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: get no completion either. You don't get no touchdown. You
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: don't get no celebration, you don't get no win. Don't
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: get hung up into what if it don't work. I'll
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: tell you what if you do not try, if you
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: do not attempt, if you do not move forward, I
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: have one thing I can guarantee you one thousand percent.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I can promise you this. You will fail. It will
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: not happen. It cannot happen without the effort. It cannot
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: happen without the risk. Life is risk y'all now. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: know sometimes, man, when you take a chance and it
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: don't work, you consider that a failure.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I don't. I consider that as the lesson.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I needed to learn, so when I go again, I
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: can get it right. Stop looking at every time you
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: fail at something as a negative.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: It's a part of the process.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Everybody I know that's a winner has been a loser,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: but they just didn't look at it as being a loser.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: That's round one, down ding round two. It's a fight
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I was watching on the internet the other day, Sugar
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Ray Leonard against Donnie Lalan. I was watching this fight
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and this guy knocked Sugar Ray Leonard down. Man, and
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Sugar Ray Leonard was on wobbly legs. And I remember
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: this fight because I said, man, Sugar, go get whooped.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I think the bord was from Canada or something. I
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: don't know where Donny la Lan was, and it looked bad,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: but Sugar got up and he kept fighting. Sugar made
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: one of the greatest comebacks I've ever seen, and he
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: ended up knocking this boy out. Look, man, if you
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: don't make the attempt after you get knocked down, if
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: you don't get back up, you cannot win.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It's when you get knocked down that you stay down,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that you lose.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: You know many times I've been knocked down in my life, man,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: But every time I've been knocked down, by the grace
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: of God, I got up. And you know why I
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: got up, because I just kept the faith. You got
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: to operate on faith. Faith is a belief in things
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: that you cannot see. Yeah, what if it don't work?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: What if it You ain't got to see it work,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: but you do got to go forward though. Don't get
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: hung up on the what ifs. Operate in faith, man
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: operate on faith. Those are my closing remarks. Hope that
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: helped you.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: God. We'll see y'all tomorrow with another one. In the meantime,
• 6:37
