• 6:26
  Speaker 4: you can make. I said, you can make a whole
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: lot of money be in reality. So after the fact
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I told her, I said, listen, it was I wasn't
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: this can come on bad place. I'm more trying to
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: like help you become reality famous. That's why I was
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: hoping we went back and forth. You know, I didn't
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: tell it let's go back and forth on purpose. I
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: was hoping we went back and forth. But you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: my team, like Mike, you know, postpartum is a very
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: serious thing, so don't play with They don't talk, so
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I kind of like talk about it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: You just have to you know, you got to be
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: there for her. But do you think with her if
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: she is, you know, going through postpartum depression, and is
• 7:01

• 7:17
  Speaker 4: on the next season. But it's a lot more coming
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: on this shell. That probably had something to do with
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: the postpartum thing, but I can I couldn't talk about it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: I'm ruined the show.
• 7:26

  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? You didn't so that is
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Michael Blackson.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, and then when I became honest with myself,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: which was after I broke up with the girl before Rider,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: and I realized that I just can't be with one person.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: And I've been honest from the door, you know.

• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Allowed to have that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, I love to have more than my wife.

• 8:37

  Speaker 5: three times a month.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, But what I try to do, I try to
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: keep it, you know, very simple. Me like two three
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: girls and that I knew and familiar with instead of

  Speaker 4: In America, I finally became and I'm glad I did

  Speaker 4: it before all.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: This things started happening. You know. Uh.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: In fact, Rider don't want to push me to doing
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: it because prior to that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Let me see, I applied for my citizenship about fifteen
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: years ago, took the test, you know, easy test. I
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: studied the test and passed the test, right, man, I
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: passed the test. And then that day this motherfucker did
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: not want me to be a citizen that day, you know,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: because I was, you know. He they asked them to
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: try to incriminate that. He asked me questions where I
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: could easily incriminate myself. He asked me to say, do
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: you or any taxes or chosuple or anything. I said, well,
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I owe taxes, but I'm on a payment plan. So
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: he said, well, before ipprove your citizenship, like to see
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: you know the history of your payment plane. And I
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: sent this motherfucking my payment plane. He said, well, it
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: wasn't consistent enough, so you're not an honest person, so
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: we're denying your citizenship. And once you get denied, you
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: have to wait five years to apply again.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Why were you consistent enough?
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: I have no idea what he meant by dad, I mean,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know. You know, I thought I thought I
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: was consistent enough, you know, But did you use Michael
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: when I was the Philly one or the Ghana one combination.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: Dishonest person.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so, and I got so frustrated with I
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: was like, you know what, fuck being an American. As
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: long as I could renew my green card every ten years,
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: I was okay with going. So I'm let me back
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: into work. That started mattered to me, you know, But
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: then it's when you're not the citizen. You have to
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: travel to Europe and you have to get a visa.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: So it became so difficult. And when Rodick came in
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: my life, she was the one that pushed me, like,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: might get it done. I'm like, I'm a fuck me

• 23:58
  Speaker 4: pay this guy. He just went in like a kind
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: of free promotions in exchange for promotion. He set it

  Speaker 4: with this stuff about you know, uh politics, It's more
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: like we just like you know, through social media.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: Nothing we didn't really communicate about, you know.

  Speaker 4: you know, I go ahead now.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: I was saying, as a comedian, how do you you
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: personally decide when you've gone too far? When somebody else
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: has gone too far? When something is not funny? Uh?
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: I mean if if the person is not laughing at it,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: I think that's important to me. If I'm gonna make
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: fun of somebody, I think they have to laugh somehow someway.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: You know. Uh.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: If Trump can't to my shirt where he laughed at things,
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: I'm saying probably because you know, probably not. Why not
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: The first thing I say when I get on stage,
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: I said, Trump is running America like Sugar Night ran
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: death row in the nineties.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: That's the first thing I said. That's right.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I probably would ask for us the sugar Night do
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: a good job of running diff on tonight.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Though. He'll find a way to the port you.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: He can't. That's that's gonna be a lawsuit. I'm an American.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: You can't just sport me.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Now. I have no criminal record.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: But no, that's part of what he's been doing porting
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: people who are actually US citizens or people who've been
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: going through the process.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Well, i'm you have to have some kind of criminal record.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: He'll find something.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: What are you finding me that?
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: That's really been the whole that's been the whole thing.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: That's why people are upset. I'm not worried about trump Man,
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: you know. I mean, I'm not worried. I have my
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: thing is, you know, but just just just's say one thing.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Whatever he says he's gonna.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Do, he doesn't. Definitely doesn't. That means so.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: And I mean, what, you know, you gotta respect a guy.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: He's he's doing what the hell he say he's gonna do.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna get here, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: do that. He's doing it, you know, And let's just
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: I mean three or four years left. Just let's just
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: figure out what is it that you want from this guy?
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: You want anything from him, because you don't.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I just want America to be great, I really do.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I want America to be great, period. So I'm going
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: to whoever's in the office. I'm going to support any
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: president who is truly no, no, no, who is truly
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: trying to make this country better.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: They know, thank you, who's truly.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, don't get it wrong.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: He did do a few things that I you know that,
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, especially with the Ice situation. I wasn't a
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: big fan of that because I mean, I think that's
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: what make America what it is, is foreigners coming.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: In here and doing things.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Of Course, you know, people like me who what I
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: had to go through to become a citizen. It took
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: me almost picking thirty years to become a citizen, so
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: it's not an easy thing to keep a legal you
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: know papers. So of course, if I don't want nobody
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: coming in here, they can still get you. In the
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Trump era, that's what they've been doing.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: People who have been wrongly deported because of administrative errors
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: and policy change.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So I mean people come in here illegally. I'm
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: not approving of that because I didn't come illegally.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: I came in the right way and I had to
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: keep the right papers to keep newing there and make
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: sure I'm doing the right thing, so you know. But
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: I guess just the force they are taking and setting
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: people back, it's kind of sad when they're separating fathers
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: from their kids and all that.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: That's a sad point.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: And imagine getting sitting back to a country that you're
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: not even from familiar with.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: At least you would be back in Ghana.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, anyway, I forgot.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: It'd be good.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Take me to like bury on the Naturia. It doesn't matter.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: I love my continent. Yeah, gonna go up all the time.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Have you been there?
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: No, I haven't.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I was there when you were there, but I mean
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: you're there all the time. But I was there that
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: you was there for New Year's Dirty December one year.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Like two years ago.
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, you have to people saying that the December
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: time is getting like so many people go down that
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: if it's your first time, you might not enjoy it
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: as much.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Now it's a great time.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Because I actually decided to shoot my special this year,
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: during that.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Time in dirty December.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, and so I decided to go ahead and shoot
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: this one special and give them, give the people probably
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: the best special they've probably ever seen the whole entire life.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Now to go back to this, but I got Trump question.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: In twenty sixteen, you did the Blat interview, and you
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: you always joking, but you said you would deport yourself
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: if he became.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, But now your jokes kind of change, like what
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: what is it?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Because you find out twenty sixty, Yeah, for real a tweet?
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: No, it's comedians. What made you change the tony of jokes?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Damn?
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: Where was I at twenty sixty?
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I remember that headline.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: I have no idea how that did because I remember
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: twenty sixteen. I remember being on vacation in kN Kun
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: with my ex before Rider, and I remember I remember
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: both of us rooting for this guy because it was
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: like he was an underdog.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: He would think he was going against Biden.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: I think that time, So Hillary was it Hillary?
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Hillary? And you know?
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: And I remember like she was saying, you know, if
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: he went, you not being a live back in America
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: something funny, she said. I don't remember, but I remember like,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: you know, quietly kind of rooting for the under dog.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: I always been an underdog type of person.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Even when I'm watching Super Boy, my team is not
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: and I'm wounding for the underdogs to win, you know.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: So maybe I was just trying to be funny, you know,
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: but I'm always rou for the underdogs no matter who
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: For some reason, I.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Don't like he was.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Definitely an underdog in the election. Nobody expected him to
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: win in twenty sixteen.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: What then, I.
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: Feel like I feel like there were people who, like,
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: we voted for Hillary and we wanted her to win, but.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: They thought Hillary people thought Hillary was a four gun
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: at the party, that there was a celebration that didn't happen.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, everybody with.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: You just been having bad choices.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, God, with this, with this Great's greatest country,
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: is your the last?
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: It's like there's nobody.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Standing out there, you really know, you know, whether it's Democrat, Republican,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: nobody's really out there that you guys ever felt comfortable
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: with you?
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Guys, I'm saying you you never been happy with nobody.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: You never wasn't of Hillary.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: You're just not happy.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: You just didn't nothing make you happy.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Ary was cool. I like Hillary he did. Yeah, I
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: like Hillary.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: You like biting into No, I never liked. But okay,
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: so if you got biting.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: In Trump, then we're gonna pick exactly I had got
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: in too many great choices you're saying.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, but.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Listen, I want to go back to what you said
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: about Ghana. Right performing your stand up in Ghana? Do
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: you think Africans and African Americans laugh at the same jokes?
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: A You gotta of course not better. That's why I'm
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: doing it during that time where it's gonna.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Be people from different parts of the world.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna trust my stand up with just straight
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: My Gunns are very.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Strict.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: They are, like you know, very conservative, and I would
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: not want to do that to my special So that
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: time of the year, there are people from Canada, London,
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: and the United States all in Ghana. So my goal
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: is to capture all the dire sport and perform for them,
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: and hopefully I'm hoping ONCET I'll be challenging myself. I
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: like a challenge, you know, so I'm looking forward to it.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Have you ever tried Ghana, I mean stand up.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Nigeria?
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: Nigeria is more like you're is more open. They're more free,
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: you know, Ghana, you would be the more you know
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: certain things. You know, they're not too much on it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: A lot of too much of my hard core ship.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Just get quiet.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: No no, no no.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: I mean if I say, don't get if I say
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: a joke, it didn't like they you know, they probably
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: won't laugh at it. But I just move on to
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: the next ship. And like that ship wasn't even the punchline.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: You know, you have to like learn how to make
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: adjustments on stage.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: You like a football player. Man, if the defense ain't working,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: change your.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Defense, you know, I mean, change your offense going to
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: the heart up, you know, to a shotgun instead of
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: running back position. So you as a professional doing this
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: for thirty years, you have to learn how to make adjustments.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: On stage and in life period. And I think I've
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: learned how to do that. Speaking of football, are you
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: really Eli Apple's uncle? Eli Apple is my nephew. How
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: about that? I came in before that niggaat but he's.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: My nephew, said, I mean, is he really like he's
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: this big I'm the star, he's the now nephew, nigga guy.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Now I'm his I'm his uncle. Yes, he's my Nephwick. Yes,
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: my youngest sister's son.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Wow wow okay, yeah yeah, shout out to corner back
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: right on the back.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: He was your number one draft pick in twenty sixteen.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: I was at the draft pick. Actually, that's the year
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: that Egle selected the guy that's he's now with Minnesota.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Now I forgot, man, God damn quick will forget. But
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: I was there for that draft twenty sixteen in Chicago,
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: NFL Draft. My little nephew, Eli Apple was selected a
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: tenth pick by the New York Giants. I never forget
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: that day. I became a Giants fan. It was the
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: tenth pick, tenth pick overall.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Man, did you lean on him when you open the school?
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: No, Man, I never lean on nobody. Man, I've been
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: doing I've been taking care of the school myself. And
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: the only time I actually decided to even open up
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: a nonprofit was an issue I had. You know, with
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: the last government of Ghana. They give out these bonds.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you heard about it, give out
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: these This is called eurobonds. So your bonds is like
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: is a bond where the money stays in whatever currency
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: you put it in, you know, so if he whether
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: it's euro or pounds or dollars, it stays in that currency.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: And it was paying very high interest rate, like ten
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: percent something crazy. And that's what I had decided to
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: do in paying for the school for life. I said, okay,
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: it was going to take to sustain the school for
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: the lifetime. And I figured out when the school is
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: completely filled up, we should in two more years gonna
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: be filtered. Right now, every year I bring in like
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: twenty kids, so in about two years will be like
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: a two hundred and then I'm a max out there.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: I said, when it's two hundred kids and it's gonna
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: cost me like ten thousand dollars a month. We was
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: very reasonable if you hear it. But you know Ghanain
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: and most part of Africa. The good and bad thing
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: about it is labor is very cheap, so you could
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: four to pay employees, you know, and like I said,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: I could run the whole school for t one a month.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: And I said, how can I get ten grand a
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: month for a lifetime. And then they had his bonds,
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: the your bonds that's paying ten percent interest rate, and
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, it's a million dollars. I put a
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: million dollars in there, get and every give me ten
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars a month. And once they expired after three years,
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: I renew it again and again. Right, so I send
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: a million dollars to my continent, to my country. And
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I said, okay, let me now the school be set.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: I got paid for it, interest paid for it. So
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I got that from We got like one two payments
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: and then payments stopped. And then and I hit up
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: the financial guide them, I'm like, what's going on? He said, well,
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: just having some issues, so but everything's gonna be okay.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Two years later, no payment and then they said between
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: COVID and Ghana, owes China money.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: You know, it's it's all on that last government. I'm
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: not gonna blame you on the country.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Ghana is a great country and this issue has never
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: happened in the history of Ghana. Where they fuck up
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: your bonds. Bonds is like, should be really strong. If
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: bond go run America, the government will come in and
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: pay for it, take care of it. So then it's like,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: you know, two years no payments. So now I'm coming
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: up with new money making these payments, you know. And
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: then right before the election, they decided to make a
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: decision on the bond theyself. Can we decided that we
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: are restructuring the bonds. You have two options. Either take
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: one or would take one for you. So option number
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: one you lose thirty seven percent of money you give them.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Your ten ten percent interest.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Rate is now five percent, it right, and your three
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: four year bond is now eleven year bond.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: You need to hold your money for eleven years.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Optioned them A two You don't lose no percentage, but
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: your ten percent interest rate is now one point five
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: percent and your three year bond is now fifteen year bond.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: So I went on Twitter and I lit them up.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: I mean I lit them so hard. I think I
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: was probably the cause of the last government losing election
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: because they became worldwide, you.
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: Know, because I you know, they knew I did it
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: for the school and you know.
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: And then and so I had to pick one eventually,
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: I mean I picked the one that don't lose no
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: percentage because I said, as long as that money is there,
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: I could always fight for it, you know. So now
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: instead of getting ten grand a month is like whatever,
• 37:43

  Speaker 4: I got to maybe open up some kind of nonprofit
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: and maybe try to raise the rest of the money
• 37:55
