• 9:58
  Speaker 1: But a man with a catalogue that size it's hard to pick out tunes to play in an episode without playing music for the whole episode.

  Speaker 1: So I just wanted to start with that because you know, I mean I know, but get ready for 50s.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You know 50s, 60s, 70s, right, the most up to I get might be in the 80s today, but that's the way it is.

• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I got into the couture and the bacchanal and the cank along and the lacquerie.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I don't like what I did.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I took my words last week and tried to make it look like I'm against Jamaica.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm against Jamaica Carnival.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: All these people are telling me nothing more.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not against Jamaica Carnival.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I never said Jamaica Carnival wasn't good.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I never said it wasn't successful.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I never said none of them things.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I never said that.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Only listen to what I'm saying good, listen to the one good ears.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Jamaica Carnival great.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I hope it continues to grow and get better and better and better.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: But just remember that every museum in the world is advertisement for the louvre.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So we have the mecca, I don't care what.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: No, but I talked to my partner, pablo today.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I'm pablo in brazil and he was talking about brazil carnival and um rio de janeiro, the greatest show on earth.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: And pablo say he agree, as a carnival man himself they the greatest show on earth.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: And Pablo said he agrees, as a carnival man himself they have the greatest show on earth.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: But I think we have the greatest party on earth.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And they sent me all kind of video where people say all kind of things about Jamaica Carnival and how it was great and that thing to do, and they swim a dolphin and they get with the smoke and all these nice things.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean Good, Every things.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: You know I mean good.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Every museum in the world, whether they're making money or not, is advertisement for the louvre, right?
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I wanted to google the visitation so I make some people some bets, right, I call it?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Name alim jude marsha.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: All the, all, the all the people who believe that jamaica carnival continuing to get better and better, which which I also believe I only believe that one day our carnival will be dead and gone and we'll have no carnival.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: We'll go back to what do you call the thing Tambu, bamboo and them kind of thing, when Jamaica take it over fully.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I want all of you to give me the metric, give me the metric.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I'm buying a bottle of whatever all you want, on whichever day.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: You could show me where jamaica carnival bypass trinidad carnival.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: You use the metric.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you use visitation, I don't care if you use revenue and you, you, you tell me the metric and I will, I will pay it out.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I just want to remind you that I saw an article that was.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I felt very proud as a carnival baby myself, to see an article saying that jamaica carnival with a gross with it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: With a gross, was it $5 billion in earnings?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: $5 billion in estimated earnings.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to read here from Caribbean National Weekly this year's Jamaica Carnival, which culminated on April 7th, is said to be one of the most lucrative carnival seasons in Jamaica, according to the Ministry of Tourism, so this is the biggest one yet, right?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: According to the lanos cyberite cyberite, a senior strategist in the ministry, early estimates indicate a surge in interest and earnings from jamaica carnival compared to previous years.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: In 2023, jamaica carnival estimated to have contributed 4.6 billion to the jamaican economy, stemming from a multitude of sources, including tourism spending.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Listen to what.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: What's what's happening here?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Right, because I don't want nobody come back to tell me nothing, because I quoted the five billion dollar figure and I hearing people messaging man calling me to argue that the five billion is not the whole thing.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Because when people they they go buy gizzard and they go buy bula and they go buy bun and cheese, and listen to what is the content tourism spending, merchandise sales, corporate sponsorships and the rapidly increasing market for all carnival related services.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So they come, they all encompassing in their figure for 5 billion.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I want to, I want to let you know, too, that they're going to count every dollar that they could.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: They could, they could point to being a tourist dollar.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: That is what they're going to count and they will count every visitor who come in during the carnival season, every visitor they're not.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: This is the ministry of tourism talking.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: When we're talking about culture, here, we have a ministry of cult.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: When you talk about carn, we have a ministry of culture.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: When we're talking about Carnival, we have a ministry of culture that's addressing these things, or NCC or TUKO, or bodies that them talking about, the ministry of tourism, which lends to my argument last week that Carnival for them is just an extension of their tourist season, the peak season.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: They're trying to extend it, which makes perfect sense, and I don't want to come across like I against this in any way.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I find it's a great idea.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: That's what our country should do.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I also find it's a great idea that the Marshalls, bungies, destros, fairhands what do you name?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Mcaltasia, the Travis World, the Voice, whoever is partnering with Sun Nation or whatever promoters we morning over there, the promoters and the artists and everybody from here should go and promote jamaica carnival, because every museum in the world is advertisement for the louvre.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: That is just what it is so.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: The bigger jamaica carnival get is, the bigger trinidad and tobago carnival will get, because Jamaica Carnival grew from 4.6 billion to 5 billion.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Let me continue reading.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Right, in 2023, jamaica Carnival was estimated to oh no, sorry, I read that already With a higher spend for this year.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Syve Wright forecasted the revenue to as much as 5 billion.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: The flow, the flow through effect, in the economy, is significant, especially for the micro and small tourism enterprises, and also micro and small enterprises altogether, because every taxi man, every vendor, every jerk chicken man they're making their money too.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: He's counting all this.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I don't want him to call me to tell me now.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: This is not.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Money was spent on costume and money was spent on rum, right?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: This is money spent throughout, from resorts to jerk chicken man, right, this is money spent throughout, from resorts to Juk Chicken man, right.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Beyond direct spending, the growing popularity of the event has triggered increased demand across various support industries, which include air and ground transport, accommodation, gastronomy gastronomy is food or gastro gastronomy is food crafts, merchant sales, job creation, entertainer services, vendor sales and event production.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Essentials such as sound, dj, decor, bars, rentals, food and staffing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I like you 50 000 a whopping.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Let me don't laugh, because I get it, so I'm not laughing.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I hope jamaica carnival reach 500 000, but 50 000 participants for jamaica carnival 2024.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I want to know.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, so so if this is the wall you're using, what's the metric all you're using right now to tell me that it's gonna take over trinidad carnival?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Is it conjecture?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Is it that just the way you feel?
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Or it makes sense like the?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: The argument I keep hearing is that the flights easier to get from the states, it's cheaper to get the flights from the states.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: It's um cheaper to get a hotel.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: This is somebody sent my video on this, you know, with a woman saying it easier for her to get tickets to come to the country and cheaper, and she's saying, not because they have a carnival in the country.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: They magically inflate the prices of the thing, as if trinidad is magically inflate, trinidad not magically inflating the prices of nothing.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: For carnival.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Price is based on demand and supply.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: It has always been, it will always be.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Other interfering factors try to like it's a price ceiling and price flaws and all them kind of thing that people try to put in place.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Them thing don't work.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Them thing don't work.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: We go talk about that next day.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: It have nothing.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: The government ought not to try and put up a cap on Fed ticket prices or let demand and supply determine who could get the goods and services Pricefully.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: If you want to buy a price ceiling or something, maybe they should look at that for some essentials water and electricity and them kind of thing If need be.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: They don't even work in cases like those.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: But if it's based on demand and supply and we have a event where we don't even have enough rooms in the country for people to come in, we don't, and and I'm saying that we should continue to build our capacity I'm not saying we should stand by or we will stand by and watch.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I think the room stock in trinidad and tobago will continue to increase over time as the demand for rooms increases over time.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: The issue we have here is that we have such a high peak season and such a big fall off that, if you look at tobago as an example, right, the average person in tobago is make a little space home by them to rent out, which is something you don't find the average trinidadian household doing.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Uh, so when you, when you look at, when you look at where the average household could put out, let me say I have a room.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I, you know.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I mean I live in St James, I have a room and I have some extra rooms I could rent out for the carnival.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I could make that into a more long-standing thing if we have more festivals or we have more um, more, more things attracting tourists year-round.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: So you know you have the benefit of living in st james so you rent out your place whole year.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: That don't really happen.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: The way it's fine is that room rental during the carnival period is go up as much as five and six hundred us a night.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying the price is not high or whatever.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: You want to say it's ridiculous or whatever.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: But the issue is that for as long as there's demand and short supply, they're gonna have a put pressure on prices.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Just what it is.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: So to think that there's some kind of price go general.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: The market is correct.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: That you know.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Even if you have a year where there's a case, like they say it was for this year, it will correct it and some people there will be some fallout.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Some people will say you know what?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Let me not?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Um, let me do, let me do, let me do, let me do play a part in this.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Let me play a part in this.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I will go barbados or go grenada and again, I want to keep barbados and grenada and st vince.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: With all due respect to the countries who have a homegrown uh, a homegrown carnival, born out of their culture guys are different.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I just don't want jamaica carnival which again I will say is just a slice or a copy of the most commercial aspects of our carnival.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I want to let you go and google for me, right how much.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Them say they had 50,000 participating in Carnival in Jamaica.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you that in 2024, 50,000 people fly in here for Carnival.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: The exact figure I see is 65,000.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: We have more people flying in here for Carnival than them have who participate in the Carnival as a whole.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I want to say their Carnival is one week, we carnival is about two months.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I want to a little, be careful, especially those of us who live in down here and being a part of our culture and our carnival, don't join these foreign yankees and these overseas yankees and them kind of things.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Don't join them in this argument.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: They arguing something separate carnival for for them.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: They start on Marshall Monday and it is ending to be going to Dwight D Huck.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Saturday.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Them fellas and them have a condensed carnival due to their own choice, because they choose to live abroad and don't live here and they choose to go in a country where you could only get two days vacation and I say walk out of that.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Don't join them in their arguments.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: And them is a big part of the reason why the price is inflated for that carnival week and the week, the carnival packages themselves and the week before that, which is where all them fits happen.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Those people who fly in you know all due respect to them and we're grateful that they fly and then think that is what inflates the price of Carnival Because until you have that week the prices are set outside of a few which we could choose to go or not go.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: It's standard pricing to go to any event in this country.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Remember to message me and tell me about Calypso Rose.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: A tribute to Calypso Rose, salute to the great Calypso Rose.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I want to say the price I see for the thing is about $3.50 or $4.50 or something they say money has paid to go soak or whatever it is, and that is a higher end.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: What do you want to call it Higher end.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: We'll just call it expensive.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: That is, a more expensive fit compared to the others.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: So I just want to understand for the people who win the bottle challenge right, just tell me now, tell me what kind of bottle Oli wants up front.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And I want Oli to tell me what Oli is using to measure, outgrow and outperform.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Is it revenue?
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Is it visitors?
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Is it home people from here participating in this?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Is it number of events?
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Is it total number of events?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Because I try all how to find out exactly how much events Jamaica had for their carnival, and I all how to find out exactly how much events jamaica had for their carnival, and I want to tell you that whatever the amount is, it will be dwarfed.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: They have singular promoters, singular individual promoters who have more fit for the carnival season than the entire jamaica carnival, similar to jamaica and the carnival right.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: But I'm not seeing it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I'm only seeing something.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Me and those.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I'm leaving this as an open, not even my bet, because I don't want nothing in return, I just want only.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I want two things from only a matter of fact, from the Jews and the Isles and the Martians and so on.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I just want only a joint man Jamaica Cannavale.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: We have all the way fat and have our time.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, because at some point I will be going back.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I had my experience there and it was not what it is today, but as it continues to grow, I want to go back.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: So if I start to reach the age I'm not reaching the age where I can't see If you don't talk to me hard, I don't know who I'm talking to at this point in time but if I reach the age where I'm starting to see my hearing starting to go and I'm walking like a cripple and I'm kind of thinking, oli, please, I'm asking Oli, come Jamaica Carnival with me.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Take Oli lost, right, take Oli lost.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: At that point in time, when you see you're talking to a man that can't really hear what you're saying, let me go Jamaica Carnival together.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: You can't go wrong with that deal.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: So you know, anyway, before, before again, because it's lord kitchener's birthday, 102nd birthday and and I just want to let you know this too right, lord kitchener, a man who move and live in jamaica to promote this same kind of world that we have a problem with now, you know, I mean man 102 years ago, the man 1922, and he went to jamaica to promote this same kind of world and we have no problem now with the youths.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: This man paved the way for the youths and cut track for them to run, and not him alone, along with several calypsonians, and I want you to remember that when you're talking many people in the uk talking about this winrush generation.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: The winrush generation is a whole bunch of people who would have come over and, uh, jamaica was where they board from.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: If I remember, right on the boat, right, a kitchener was on that boat when all of them was getting classed as Jamaicans at the time.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: But the people come from all over the Caribbean to go there.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So that's it and I'm not listen, I'm not continuing this argument on Jamaica Carnival.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go over and over and over.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: You know my position, I know all you and I just want you line up all yourself to come and take a fit with me in jamaica carnival.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Right, I have another kitchener to play and I have a few my, some of my sweetest kitchener songs lined up for the episode, and this song is a song that you're bound to like.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I, I love it and a way to take in some of these songs.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Right, they're not gonna be able to stop.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: So I want to tell for the people who are so, my boy, ryan Ramchandani, say the music, ryan, is about three minutes and 17 seconds long, right?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: So if you want to skip for all the people who don't like the music and want to skip it, skip about three minutes, because this is not this kind of song that you could stop in the middle.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: But even if you fail to skip it, there's a kind of thing you want to listen Saturday.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I tried a trick on she To get she in me.

• 29:23
  Speaker 1: See Tight Story from beginning to end and happy birthday to the great Lord Kitchener.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: We're still in Jamaica a little bit.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: We're halfway in Jamaica and we're halfway out of Jamaica Because I saw this week Mr King I, sasha, ziggy Rankin and King David come together for a collaboration I'm missing anybody there and King David come together for collaboration.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I'm missing anybody there.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: They come together for collaboration and I think it's a much needed collaboration in the country because if you're following the news the amount of crime and the types of brutal crime, like just before I started recording, right, I see a video talking about some.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Could it have been in a remote?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to call the wrong place, but I was just scrolling through instagram and I saw them showing robbery in a remo.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: When I see the two fellas walking down the road, I ain't seeing nobody.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: It's just a woman sitting in the corner.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Boy, the man come to snatch something from a woman and hit the one bap, bap.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: And I think to myself, but you know, I don't like this thing when they say empty the clip and I don't think that's what Trinidad and Tobago need to come to in any way.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: But I understand the sentiment when I see videos like that, because some of these videos really is angry and is upsetting, because this is somebody who just sit down and they have the thing.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you're watching crime and they're saying who involved in what and that can happen to you when you're ignoring it.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It like this thing where some fellas walk up to a woman car, shoot up the woman human dead.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: When they haven't wake for the woman, they come and kill the brother-in-law, the assumption.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: And when you read the comment, something, or you talk to people, you find that people saying, basically, hey, here, what going on?
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: You have to be involved in something for something like that to happen.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, if you want to assume that, all right, but for you to just have, you have something where you work hard for you, you, you, you don't know.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: People don't know what you do to get your things according to kitchener.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: You know if I put my back aground and get money on your hand, you know what I do to get my little one or two things I have and I could, I have it and you could just come and take it and snatch it from me and walk away with no redress, no mask again.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: You know they don't bother with that something again.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: So we in a state where, as much as I don't like the empty clip thing, some of them things is upsetting and make you see that.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: So all talk and no action, but some fellas come together and take some action to put together a song.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Mr King, king David I, sasha, ziggy Rankin, come together, what, what used to be called back in the days the reggae all-stars you know, I mean salute to the reggae all-stars and them fellas come together and put together a song.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I want to get a slice out of the song, but just just just let me get a slice out of the song first.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Right, so you could understand where they're coming from.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I Do something about this thing.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I have to do something about this thing and f**k it.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Somebody has to bring back the balance.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: You know, eh, yo, sash, oh King, what's going on, buddy, you ain't see the way?
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: The streets in Chinpego are getting bloody Shots not ringing out here, dog, my daughter trying to study, and on news before news it's two more dead bodies.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Things are heading downhill.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I like it, though.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: We intend to stop.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Tell him man no short to come back if I send him to the shop.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: There was another pandemic.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: How the body's ever trapped Cause every other.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Get a huge trap For real Sometime.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I feel like the new music Bring badness back in style Place full of fully done man, woman and child.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I wonder if it's cause the people and the heroes for a while the whole country are get vile.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: But we fed up of the boom.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Fed up of the bang.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Fed up of the war.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Fed up a di bank.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Fed up a di warrants.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Fed up a di gangs.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Fed up a di violence.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Time fi stop, time fi bring di country back.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Fed up a di boom.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Fed up a di bank.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Fed up a di warrants.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Fed up a di gangs.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Fed up a di violence.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Time fi stop time fi bring di country back.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: You see the news last night.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Sash Kingman, I boy Hold on, eh, I feel I had him ziggy to the call.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Oh Lord See.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: What go on, brothers?
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I see two great ones calling me.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: To what do I owe the honors?
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Ziggy boy, be trying to reach them youths, them on the corners, them who giving up their ghosts calling themselves.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: What kind of numbers?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Nuff youths, them youths lost and they started when they small.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: All the watch vibes now the ugly King David trying to call Yo David, go far right when me now, true, but I bet you now telling me shots busting up by you, dan, and up to now me, ni a single siren.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Yo switch the video.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: They on a call with Ziggy and King, serious, oh brother, it's like a meeting call to order.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Oh David, nah, man, we just happen to link each other.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't feel that this just happened.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: I think now is the time for us to free the youth and mind.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Can we Fed up all the boom, fed up all the bang, fed up all the warring?
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Fed up all the gangs?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Fed up all the violence.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Time it fits up, time to take the country back.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: We fed up all the boom.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: We fed up all the bang, fed up all the crime, fed up all the gang.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Honestly, look at them.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I think prophet benjamin coming there too.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Am I forgetting prophet benjamin?
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I think they bring prophet benjamin in the end of the song too, which is always it's always good to see these brothers and see they're doing good, and some of them, if you remember, has some of the best messages in music that we had in the days of reggae all-stars.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Now, when I listen to this song, I mean it's a good song, they really come good and they come together and I hope that they get a movement in a gear again because it's important.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: But one of the things I was wondering about this song right is how much it could relate to the youth who they're trying to talk to.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I was wondering if they make an effort.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe they did, but it would be so nice to see some of these younger youths now on a song like this with them.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: But I salute my barber and all those telling me that even that mightn't be that's wishful thinking, because if you take these same artists and you put one of these youths now who's 6'7", 9 or above or whatever number they have, and they were to come on a song like that and say Fedapa this and Fedapa that and that could put himself in danger because of the music tuning.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I my argument was let music play and leave music uncensored on them thing, but as much as you're singing about your reality and the reality is brutal and in that's in them spaces that in, maybe it's too much for them.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: If they come on the song like that, then men looking for them and I'm kind of thing.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: But it'll be nice to see some of these young fellas now come together and maybe this is a way to open it up because they should be seeing people like ziggy and prophet benjamin, mr king, king david I sasha.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: The youths now should be seeing them as some sort of a like mentors or legend or og or whatever it's called them now.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: So hopefully it reached the rightful audience, but it pick up real tempo with the absolute wrong audience, which is which is we, because we, we not going out and do that kind of crime and we already against crime.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: But I think the song do a good job to capture the sentiment of people like us, where we, the country's too sweet to be running like this.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: And I did see they went and perform, uh, over the weekend at a one love concert, while warrior king, louis, culture bushman, glenn washington, glenn washington, among some others, and the, the local reggae all-stars, went out and performed there too, and I was.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I was looking at that as my parallel with jamaica, kind of all right, sorry, I know I said I'm done with that argument, but it's almost like saying one day, mr king and ziggy them going to be bigger than Bob Marley.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: We will never fix our mouth to say nothing like that, but we're fixing our mouth with ease to say that Jamaica Carnaval is going to take over Trinidad and Gargantua.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Which life?
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Line up your bottles, right.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: But I saw some of the veteran artists in concert last Saturday and when you look at our market for reggae, like even even from as early as bob molly days, you find that a lot of the foundation reggae artists or dance or any genre jamaican music.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: A lot of them would say trinidad is the first country to travel to to do big shows.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Or even the smaller reggae artists or dance, all artists who never really tore the world or get big, big hits, they say.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: They find real success in trinidad when trinidad love you, they love you, and louis culty and bushman and glenn washington, and working them is men well loved in trinidad and tobago.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: So salute to them.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: With the one love concert I saw that that was good when, only when, only make thing, only only know, only come in and do thing for people we hate so well they, they put these things in Napa.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Now, man, time for this show to go to Napa.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: These are legacy acts.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Now we want them in Napa where we can sit down comfortably and watch a show.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't go and snap for so long, but I did see that I believe on the 1st of June as well, they have another big show with Steel Pulse, coll collie, birds and supercats supercat, I guess, headlining our show, and it seems as though all these artists are not taught throughout the caribbean, because I'm feeling like I saw supercat freestyling in grenada over the course of the last week or so.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: So salute to the reggae artists, and I think that it is it more important, more important than the, the discussion or the debate about who can have all better and who they.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Because I I mean, you see, this is why I like to put clips up, you know, because I tried to put up some clips this week and try to be productive, you know.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I mean I ain't put nothing on tiktok or instagram any longer.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I've been trying to get better at that right.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: But when, when I saw one of the clips up about jamaica, canada last week, somebody assuming I'd be jamaican in the comments saying, basically carry that back to canada, that trend that there's a, there's a kind of that trend, that thing only keep that.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: So that had no right in jamaica.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: And this is exactly the point I was trying to make, to make last week, you know.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: I was trying to say that hey, listen, this is not a what, what we have, what they enjoy in there and what they have there is, is, is, is useless comparing it.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: I think more of what we need is just how jamaica, jamaican artists find that trinidad is fertile ground for their young artists, because they have several artists who say you know, cartel, get booked by bring sean storm in trinidad.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Johnson says the first time he ever come trinidad, just using that example right.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: First place he ever traveled to was Trinidad.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: There's fertile ground for them.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Them could have six, seven of them big shows here during the course of the year, and this is the old people show.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: When you look at Supercats and things, that is old people who win that, but even the youths when they bring the younger.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: If they bring YG Mali here now, he sell out the whole stadium or wherever the biggest venue we have.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: We need that I.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I think the caribbean need that, so we could also create the same space in jamaica where our artists and our younger artists or or anybody established, the younger, the older, could go there, do shows, get 30, 40 000 people, get access to bigger markets.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Right, one of these days.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: I promise, and only something, but somebody gotta hold my account to, but I might forget.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: You know it's something, but somebody got to hold my account because I might forget, you know.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I want to tell only this, right, I know this is 40 minutes into the thing and I now realize the camera wasn't recording.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: I would like to apologize up front.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not a young man.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not a young man.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: The camera wasn't recording all the time.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: So we here, welcome to episode.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging around.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: It's poor.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: It's poor form, but uh, where was I here?
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about jamaica.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Jamaica being fertile ground for our artists to go and and and build the trade.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: So let that, let that kind of as big as it gets.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Every museum in the world is a ad for the love.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Uh, I want to.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: I want to quote marlene augustine, who say in the comments last week she was the Louvre.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: I want to quote Marlene Augustine Salute to Marlene.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Who said in the comments last week she was saying Jamaica kind of has a nice party weekend or a getaway for Caribbean people and Jamaicans living in New York and London and so on who have gotten accustomed to soccer music.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I couldn't put it better myself.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: That's pretty much why it is.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: In a nutshell, it's not the same.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: It's not the same.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: It's not the same and maybe it's useless comparing the two and what we should really do is enjoy both of them for what they are.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: We should try to get to jamaica carnival to enjoy all the carnivals across the region, so that we could continue to build capacity outside of the 1.2 or 1.3 million.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, sorry, I was gonna say that I promised in your episode talking about the issue we have with having a very small market.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: You see, when I come from a country, I don't need a 1.3 million people.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: There are certain things that it is extremely limiting, extremely limiting.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: I was just looking at my boy.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Jade was talking a bit about Ghana and talking about how much millions of people in Ghana, how much hundreds of millions right next door in Nigeria and small manufacturers or distributors or retailers there would be considered huge when you compare them to our biggest manufacturers, distributors and retailers.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: So it's important for businesses in the country to look abroad.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: It is important.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: We cannot have anything.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: We cannot have anything homegrown that we try to squeeze and keep homegrown and make sure that it it is not gonna work.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: We need to build things and ensure that those things can be exported and we could benefit from a global market of 7 billion people rather than trying to focus on how to make 1.3 million people spend more and more.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I really come to play some kitsch and to salute and celebrate the anniversary of the life of the great lord kitchen.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Have a next anniversary to celebrate this weekend on some uncle poji and auntie teres.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: They've been married for 102 years too, so it'll be easy, you know, and I have a tune to play.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Now the tune is for uncle poji and auntie teres, right?
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: It's for both of them, right?
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: But uncle porgy is the handiest man I know, so he's only fitting that I play a tune like this.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know where auntie terrence fitting in this song.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: It's not me say so, it's kitchener say so.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I'm a handyman and serve me as you really should, I say, madam is it serve?
• 43:02

  Speaker 2: Madam, I'm a handyman Anytime I see walk Handyman around the clock.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: One night, about 12 o'clock just so, I decide to do some work.
• 43:56

• 44:02
  Speaker 2: She say, kitch, what you doing to me?
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: I say, madam, I'm only making myself handy.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I know you don't like being interrupted, but it's a long time.

• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Madam, I'm a handyman in the morning, I'm a handyman in the night, handyman any time I see work Handyman around the clock.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: She say, kitch, I don't think it's right.

• 44:40
  Speaker 2: I say, madam, you see, when the weather cold it's easier to use me too.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: She say, but Kitch, you can't see to do it neat?
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: I say, madam, I don't have to see to it and for the time I use in this room I could shut my eye and clean out your room.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Madam, I'm a handyman in the morning, I'm a handyman in the night, handyman any time I see work Handyman wrong the night, and the man any time as he walk and the man wrong the clock.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: She continue she sleeping.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I continue me sweeping.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I hurry to finish me sweeping.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: I'm a handyman in the morning.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: I'm a handyman in the night, handyman anytime I see walk, handyman around the clock.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: On to Miss Paris O'au Parker, right, we take the time last week and we salute to the great Warner, right, warner's exit.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: So Warner out and Massey and Massey finished the report, all the independent investigators they worked on it and so on.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: And I mean, as predicted, as predicted, this was only going to go one way way.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, when you see our publicly traded company, you're gonna sort out these things quick and get us out of the way.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: They'll let your share price be affected and continue to do business as normal.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Too big to fail.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Right from asha javid, from the guardian, my uh, massey par Pariseau Potter wanted $100 million to exit the company.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Is she damn right?
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: $100 million?
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Pay more off.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Let me keep quiet.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Let me see what I got out of this thing.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: The overwhelming majority of allegations contained in the 13-page document submitted by its former Executive Vice President of Business Integrity and General Counsel, alison Angelique Pariseau-Potter I always get this woman name wrong consistently, you know, angelique Pariseau-Potter have not been made out.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: That's the conclusion of the three-month probe done.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's three months already.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: That was the conclusion of the three-month probe done by attorneys Cohen, garcia and Vishma Jaising Pariseau-Potter did not participate in the investigation because she refused to sign a requested non-disclosure agreement.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, that speaks volumes, right, if she did not want to participate and refuse to sign an india, it means that she's going to have a lot more to say about this as time goes on.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I suppose you had to be careful, and she probably advised, because you're always exposed to litigation if you say the wrong thing or anything that libelous.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: But look for more TED talk and book and so on coming out from Ms Parish.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: So, potter, right, she's free.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: She's free, unencumbered by NDAs.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: However, apart from the 30 page letter, she did submit a further written and audio evidence through her attorneys to the team.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Written and audio evidence through her attorneys to the team.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Interestingly, despite wanting an NDA during the investigation, the Massey board decided to publish Garcia's two-page executive summary in the interest of transparency.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: In the newspaper advertisement today, massey said it would also review its company's governance systems, in particular, the bonus system for executives.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: The report revealed that Massey was restructuring its operations and her personal porter's job as a group council was made redundant last year as a result, she was in negotiations to exit the company for 11.8 million pounds sterling, as well as a seat on massey's book.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Seat on massey's book.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: He was negotiating a seat on the board.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: I suppose if you negotiate you could go on the seat of the board to make change right To lose blacklight training.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Instead, it's said, in 2019, massey decided to reorganize its operations in accordance with the portfolio model, which resulted in irreconcilable differences between Paris O'Porter and the company.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Those differences were a major factor in the deterioration of the employment relationship between Massey and Mrs Pariseau-Potter.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Following the emergence of those differences, mrs Pariseau-Potter voluntarily entered into negotiations on the terms of her separation package for her voluntary exit from the company.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: The parties agreed to enter into mediation on the terms of her separation package.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Her statement was submitted to facilitate consideration of her proposal.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: The executive said that Pariseau-P that Paris supporters.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Letter to Massey was made on November 12th 2023.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Guardian published on January 7th, she claimed that no one had responded to her 13 page letter.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: The chairman responded saying I can tell you that the 13 page document is taken very seriously.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Well, we covered that right.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: They come and they say they take it seriously.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: She said if you take it seriously, how nobody respond?
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: They say, well, they was looking into it and so on and it ended up in.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, the situation in the end is that neither gervais warner nor angelic paris supporter will move forward with massey.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: They're both home.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Uh, I don't think she get a hundred million and I want to say that at least from all the different articles that I read today let me be careful not to be libelous, neither but it seems as though, as alleged, it looks as though the focus of at least the summary of this seems to have been that nothing was wrong with the training at executive level and so on.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: It's pretty standard across the board for executives to be on this kind of training and paris supporter ain't got 100 million.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: And the 11.8 million pounds, which is 100 million, uh, seems to like they're trying to say that this is the reason for all this right.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: We don't want to give you 100 million, so you ain't taking that.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Uh, paris supporter said the 11.8 is utter rubbish, misleading, extrapolation of issues.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Responding to the sunday guardian yesterday, she said well, that's what she said.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: She said I have not been privy to the report, so of course I can't comment.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: I would be interested to understand the statement of the allegations out that the allegations are unfounded.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Is massey referring to the nine concerns I actually raised or the more than 100 allegations massey stated I raised?
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: So is it none of more than 100 or is it none of the nine?
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: So that battle continues.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: I suppose that will continue to uh play out in the public space and I don't know who's the winner in this at the end.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: I suppose Massey is a strong enough share where these things like I try to monitor the share price from the time this thing came out to now and Massey share price doing what it's due the profitability the company unfounded, or at least from a consumer and boots on the ground you stopping, like I go into Massey stores by normal.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's affecting Massey day-to-day business.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Going to Massey stores by normal, I don't think it's affecting Massey day-to-day business and, um, it's probably not enough of a scandal or issue or anything like that at that level to affect Manning and Grong and shareholders who would be monitoring it.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Because if you have significant shareholdings or any kind of shareholdings in Massey, you don't want to be in a position where you're losing out here.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: At least you could sell at the highest point and get out before the hammer fall.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: But it does seem to be.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Nobody does seem to be bothered by this.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I think that's the end of that.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Juvies, we're not going on.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: I think we we had to wait now to see who will be the named, the new CEO of Massey and who's going to usher Massey into this new era and going to watch and see if they're still going back to Delphi and everything.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: But I mean above my pay grade.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: As always, I really come here to play Kaizo.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I put in this story to bed until we see a new CEO appointed at Massey, right, but in the meantime I want to give you a little next tune where they find new but it's real old and you know what I mean.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: This is foundation music that people take and make into brand new foundation music, sometimes when I'm home with nothing to do.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: My mind always flies on a thing or two and take it from me.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: The first thing in my mind Is them, brooklyn girls.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: How they treat me kind Brooklyn woman.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: I will always understand Brooklyn woman.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: They come get me when in bad.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: I will always love them, but still love them back and on.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: You don't get no problem when you are my Brooklyn girl.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Rock me, kitchy, rock me.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: Rock me, kitchy, rock me.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: I remember last carnival of day I met Andrea from Eastland Parkway.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: Well, we had a ball.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: We touched all the fish.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, the time I had I'll never forget.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Oh Lord Brooklyn, oh Lord Brooklyn woman.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: I will always understand Brooklyn woman.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: They could get me wedding band.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: I will always love them.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: You don't get no problem when you have a Brooklyn girl.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Ruff me, kitchy, ruff me.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Ruff me, kitchy, ruff me.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: Ruff me, kitchy, ruff me.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Ruff me, kitchy, ruff me.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: Couple days later, who you think?
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Miss Clementina from Montgomery Street.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: She said, kichibon, why you have to run?
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: We don't do things, so let me take you home.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Her painful mind.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: I will always understand Her painful love.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: They could get me wedding band.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: I will always love them.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: But they love me back and on.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: You don't get no problem when you have a rope-pain.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, rope-pain, kitchy rope-pain, rope-pain, kitchy rope-pain, rope-pain, kitchy rope-pain, rope-pain, kitchy rope-pain 102, 102.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Good innings, good innings, forever music.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: You see what forever music is?
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I've been monetizing Something here, right as we.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: You know, we always on this crime situation and we can't escape it.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: No matter what we do in this country, crime is the hot topic and you know, I mean always.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: I see, right, but I saw a headline from cnt3 saying ai integrated into turn down tobago police service training curriculum.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Feeling like they could have started like basic manners, and you know what I mean Morning and evening.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: But all right, so we start with AI.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, the integration of AI into our training curriculum represents a crucial step towards modernizing law enforcement practices in Trinidad and Tobago.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: By equipping our officers with the necessary knowledge and skills, we will stay ahead of evolving challenges and ensure a safer, more secure future for all this from Commissioner of Police Earl Christopher Hayward Hayward, christopher.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: As she commented on the recent integration of artificial intelligence into the TTPS training curriculum, commissioner of Police added this initiative aligns with the strategic goals outlined in the TTPs operating plan 2024, specifically focusing on information and communications technology, and underscores the organization's commitment to leveraging technology for enhanced law enforcement practices.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Under the framework of the TTPs Police Academy 2021-2024 strategic operational plan, the targeted AI training has been incorporated into the academic agenda, providing officers with the essential skills and knowledge to navigate the evolving landscape of law enforcement.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Two interactive training sessions have been successfully conducted, focusing on different aspects of AI implementation.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: They gave me some insights into it.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: Let's see training session one introduction to using generative artificial intelligence was held on March 20th.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: This session delved into fundamental AI concepts, focusing on the utilization of generative AI language learning models.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Participants explored potential criminal applications of AI and engaging practices, but they didn't give me details on exactly what is generative AI language learning models.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: But session two is an introduction into artificial intelligence for law enforcement took place on March 29th with an attentive audience of over 150 trainees, so I don't know exactly what they're going through.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Like what, how AI going to be used to solve crime.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: I believe that, uh, a part of the issue we have here, right, I mean artificial intelligence and is, I was going to say, the way of the future, the wave of the future, but we're in it right now.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Right, the use of artificial intelligence is impressive.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Like, I'm not sure if people use chat, gpt and stuff.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I should pretty much say for sure that people use chat GPT a lot here.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Right, and I've mentioned a few times that with the podcast also, I use buzzsprout.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Uh, when I upload the podcast, it gives me a description of what I talk about.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: The description pretty decent.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: It saved me some time, because then I'd want to go and write out the description from scratch, because literally tonight I don scratch, I can't remember what I talked about.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: I just had to write down what I talked about so I could go back and write a description about it.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: But the way I use the AI, right, or things like ChatGPT, it's almost like you have a personal assistant.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: So if I have something to talk about, our presentation to do, our proposal to do, I just kind of put that information in chat GPT and tell it hey, I have about 10 minutes to do a presentation.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Tell me what I should do here.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: Like, do the slides for me, give me five bullet points per slide.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: I want our five slides and tell me exactly.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: And then when I get that, I could use that to do the presentation.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: I might not going to take exactly what ChatGPT gave me.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: I'll probably edit that down and say, well, all right, I could say this here.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I could say this first.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: I could say this I don't want to talk about this song in redundant and repetitive, so I'm not saying it's perfect, but it saves you a lot of time.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: I'll give you an example.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: Right, like, I'm doing courses now since 2010.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: And right now I have a master's class going on in digital marketing, so they're relevant to the.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: When we're doing digital marketing, we get to spend some more time talking about artificial intelligence, right?
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: And if I have slides to do, let me say I have a class to present on and I need to get the course material and all that with the references, and it's at a point already where I could go to ChatGPT and say listen, I have a lecture to do today on marketing promotions.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Give me like talking points that could last me three hours.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: I usually talk about four minutes a slide.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Give me a presentation that could last about three hours on, uh, marketing promotions and digital nature of my channel, how we always switch from from from traditional media to to new media and social media and so on, and it's pretty solid.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: I will get all my harvard style referencing right and then, instead of me sitting when I first started lecturing and I class on a saturday morning nine o'clock, I reach home a Saturday morning 9 o'clock.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: I reach home from work about 4, 5 o'clock.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Whatever time I reach home from work I relax a little bit.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: Let me say I start from 7 o'clock to prepare for that class the next day.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: There are times where I stay from 7 till 4, 5 the next morning Just preparing slides, making sure I have everything together, know what I want to talk about.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: Because if I go and talk about, let me say, marketing promotions, right, when you talk about it, everything is called the communications mix in marketing.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Where is advertising, sales promotions, pr, personal selling, direct marketing and all those things is like a wheel, right?
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: I could go on.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: I could talk about that from the top of my head now because I just do it so many times.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: But back in the day when I had to do that, I had to go and read up on each one of these things.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Make sure I know what is the difference between it.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Uh, to have some little talking points, prepare my examples and thing now, I mean after about 15 years or whatever it has passed.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Some of the examples come from the top of my head, but again, where I come in from is whole night I doing that.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: The the thing now is that when I put that same information now I ask him that, almost like I have a personal assistant, I say come up with some slides.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: When they give me it back now I can edit until I move this from here, put it so in my diagram here I'll spend a little more time talking about that and it gives me up.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: Put me in a position now where, number one, I could sleep the night before, come more refreshed for the class the next morning.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: But it covers the basis in a way that I would never be able to cover it because, even though I mean, I have a degree in that and I could go back and read the information, but I tired, I sleepy sometimes.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: I browsing through the thing this is in seconds thoroughly going through the material probably all of it that is available online and pulling what it is I need and it's.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: It's not far from the truth.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: It is very, very, very useful.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: So I want to say whatever application or whatever kind of job you have or anything that you need, uh, a lot of your man hours, consider, consider using that for knowledge, work and thing.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: You cannot go wrong.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: It can't go wrong.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: It's giving you a real good start.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Uh, I had a debate with some fellas recently where they said that what happens to the ability to think right?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: So our generation, we used to think and analyze and do critical analysis and so on.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: I mean that's true, but I don't know how beneficial it was and I don't know how much of what we were doing was actually thinking.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I think that a lot of what we did in our education system and this is probably everybody who's 25 and up, right A lot of what we do in our education system was learn to read fast, write fast and regurgitate fast and remember fast.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Remember fast, you know.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: I mean because, evidenced by the fact that a lot of the things you learn in school you didn't just people like to talk about it they never use and they learn this and learn algebra.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: Algebra seem to be the first one that's come to mind because algebra pretty useful.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: But people say calculus and everywhere you hear they say I learn a set of calculus in school and I never use them, never learned calculus either.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: It was just on the curriculum, right, like me, sir.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: But the truth is that it's not just that we learned things that we didn't use.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: The reality is that we forget it.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: If we're not going to use it or we don't use it often enough, you're going to forget all that stuff anyway Half a week cram away all the way from primary school straight through to university.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: If you know how to cram real good and pass exams, you would have done great in school.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: You probably have first class honors at bachelor's and master's level and so on, and you know, I mean our system is designed to that and, in fairness, our system rewards that, because if you come to the employer with certificate full of bachelor's and master's and you're probably going to command a better salary if you could get the job in the first the job hard to get right, but once you're getting you're probably going to command a better salary if you have them documents behind you from a reputable school.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: But I had a class that this before this master's class.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Now the class before this was a bachelor's class on the global economy.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: When we were studying they used to call it globalization and then it changed to international business.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Now they're calling it it's using a global all the same course, right, and the students had two assignments to submit.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: One was a blog, so they had to write it like in the form of a blog.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Now, if you, if you're listening to this and it was in ue or any university anywhere around the time I was there you'd know this is crazy talk compared to what we had to do for assignments.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Right, the damn other blog must be 2,000 words and listen.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: I like to hear students complain about this now and I say to them God, we have real work to do and they're like I don't know I don't know.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you have a real book to do.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: I think in a lot of ways it was made much, much easier because of how they get information.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: Now On campus I had to go and get five and six and seven books.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: I had to go and help me borrow books Because I didn't have enough books to go and write articles for Laguerre and Hamid Ghani and Dr B Sessa and all of them.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: It's death when you see how to go and get them books and there are 200 people in our class and the library.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: I ate copy of the book.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: You know you don't do like physical, real research with books, books right now, everything.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: To this generation, at least most of the people who I lecture, it was at their fingertips.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: They stay in home and do the whole assignment and look through it.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: And to me some might argue that our time and the education was better and more robust.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, I hear the argument, but the reality is that this batch of students I teach over the last decade.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: They get to spend less time on trying to look up, look up, look up research, because you know how researchers go you have to read up 20 articles before you find one that useful for the people.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: So what they get to do is spend less time on the look-up look-up part and they find well, technology was provided for them to look up things fast and then they could actually spend more time on critical analysis and the things that matter the most in the real world.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: So I would argue that the students who come out recently under WeTime, with these accelerated degree programs it takes us three years to get a degree, or four years for some only who went and study abroad Bachelor's degree taking a year and two years and three years now.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: And yes, you might argue that we have a lot of theoretical.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: But how much that theoretical knowledge worth?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: The theoretical knowledge is easily findable because now it indexed all over the place.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: So our brain cluttered with a whole set of theory that you could just google and find everything.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: Zachary asked me.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: I said boy, just google it and I always tell you.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: My mother used to make me do that.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Like every time I asked her the meaning of a word, she say I spend.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: If it's where she spent, a hundred thousand dollars, she said I spent a money on a dictionary.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't use a dictionary, which helped me a lot in terms of just your own curiosity and stuff.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: But there's nothing today that they need to memorize any theory for.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: They do not have to memorize any formulas for any mathematical subject or anything like that.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: They don't have to memorize any treatment of any accounting transaction.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Just google it.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: They don't have to use a what is called a thing, a chi-squared and what is it called them kind of table we used to use.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: They don't need to do any of that.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: I said I'm gonna partner in work there.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: This looks a good.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: This is years ago.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: Matter of fact, when we have a study to do for a client and we need to work out the methodology and sampling methods come into play.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: Where how much people I want to remember all who study spss and what the next snake one name, python or whatever all them thing is remember we started going to a lab to learn something called mini tab.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Mini tab, you gotta go.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: You don't know what it have on mini tab.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Up to today, you're confused.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: But them things have.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Them things have their purpose.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: Them things have their purpose and we learn it.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying the knowledge we use was wasted.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: I just think these youths now have opportunities to accelerate learning now because we learn a lot of things.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: That is personal assistance work.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: We all do respect it.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was telling you that, kern, just Google the sample size.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: We say, well, we have a survey to do for X Y, z.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: You put that in chat GPT, now Go size.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: We say, well, we have a survey to do for xyz.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: You put that in chat gpt, now it go and set up the whole study for you know, you don't have to worry about that again.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: So imagine this imagine us coming up with a proposal and have to do the methodology, because we had to tell you how we're gonna get all the information from or what you want to find out.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: Right, imagine we sit down and work out our whole methodology and this is what we do.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: You as a client, now, when you get at, assuming you're hiring a research company because you don't have the research capacity on board, right, you don't need to, you don't need to, um, go and figure that out yourself and learn.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: No such thing.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: And they the well, I shouldn't say use, we all have access to this now, where we don't matter, going cross reference?
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Not, nobody do.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: You could put the whole proposal in ChatGPT and say, hey, this is what I'm trying to find out.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: Rate this proposal for me.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: So I always talk about the idea of us looking at our jobs and trying to assess whether the job we're doing today will still be here in years to come, because of things like ChatGPT and artificial intelligence and so on is important.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: So I commend the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service for making the investment to at least expose people to AI.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: My fear is that we are not a big data collection company, country or society.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think we pay a whole lot of attention to data collection and making sure that we have accurate and up-to-date data that is sanitized and useful.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think we make data available at all.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: I was looking at over the course of last week.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: There was a real estate um, a real estate conference or fair in the Hilton last week.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: My bunch of keys, I believe, was the people who put it on and I was listening to Jared Best Mitchell Salute to Jared who's sales.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: He's talking about sales like sales guru online and he was saying that.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: And even more than sales, jared has encouraged a lot of people to create content and build a personal brand and you know, talk about what it is you do, which is what he does.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: He does sales and he creates a lot of content around sales and you're trying to tell, like insurance agents or financial advisors and so on, create your content and put yourself out there and increase in your pipeline.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: Basically, and he made such a good point he was saying that the mortgage market is so dark and he said one of the questions that, like, real estate agents ask him all the time is like what, what, what, what, what, what to do?
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: What more content do you want me to put up?
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: And he basically saying, like, don't just put up your house for sale or your house for rent, it will get monotonous.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: Like, tell people how to get a mortgage.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: Tell people, okay, if what is stamp duties?
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: Like stamp duties.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: I don't understand what that is exactly.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know what, how to calculate stamp duties.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: Or you might find that if you, if you're valuing a house, you're doing a valuation, a valuation might be two and a half percent of this, the price of the house, or whatever.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: Help me, like, help me to understand.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: If you are a real estate agent and you're in that space you could also co-create with your banking people.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Get your banking person to come on your live or on a video and let them talk about what is this thing and how much money I need to have saved to buy a house worth a million dollars, and so on.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: So he was just basically talking about creating value and adding value for yourself, and I just feel like if this the opportunity we have with ai is to do to raise the level of the work that we do, so that we make the importance of the work about ourselves and what we bring to the table, which is our unique and whole self, rather than the whole set of work which is is drudgery.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: But I just using that as an example to say there's not a whole lot of data collected in this country, so it's hard it's a dark area to find out how much houses sell for how much houses.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: If you just Google, like you know, you go in the States and stay by people and think anybody who went and stayed by, like Google, their address Zillow will tell you how much for that house and when it last sell and how much they pay for it.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: If you have a friend in the States and they're working on things.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: Just Google the job, just Google what them is do, just Google what them is do, and they will tell you where's the exact salary for that position in that company.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: In this country you can't find out nobody's salary.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: You don't know how much.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: We are not a big data collection site, uh, community, uh, society.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: So I wonder how much?
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: What like?
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: What is the use?
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: Like, how are we applying AI to crime detection?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Unless it's white-collar crime?
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: Where it's digital crime and that type of thing?
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: Like, what exactly are we doing when it's very, very hard to get information in Trinidad and Tobago in general?
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: But we wait and see.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that against the backdrop of the most basic technology feeling I see right, because webcams do seem to be.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: When I say webcams, what is it called?
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: Police cams, like the body cams and the dash cams that the police are supposed to be using.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they're always in place or they're working or if they're easy, to easy to access.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: It seems as though the the footage sporadic at best, like it's.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of times you see crimes happening and the first question people are asking is like well, where do you, where do your body cam footage.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: Uh, the, what about the traffic light thing where it's supposed to take a flash on your pass?
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: That working the mailing ticket home for people here is like we, we about 25 steps back in where the most basic technology being applied.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: But again, salute to them for trying to make a leap forward.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean because I mean at some point, at some point we had to make a leap in technology if we want to get there.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: But again, who's me to talk about this?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: I don't need no one to hear about kitchener, you know, and this is a kitchener talking about leap and them kind of thing.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: Again, one of the sweetest kitchener tune for me as we celebrate e-birdie ¶¶, ¶¶.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: Old Lady Walker, mile and a half.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: And she tell me Old Lady Walker, mile and a half.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: And she tell me, up the hill, down the hill, was Miss Beto there.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: She was walking the distance two point four.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: Ten.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: Old Lady Walker, mile and a half, and she tell me Old.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: Lady Walker mile and a half.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: And she tell eh, oh, lady, walk a mile and a half.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: And she tell eh, wai-ai-ai, wai-ai-ai.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: And she tell eh, wai-ai-ai, Wai-ai-ai.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: And she tell eh, oh lady, walk a mile and a half.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: And she tell eh, oh lady, walk a mile and a half.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: And she tell eh.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: She left home from her remand at 6.30.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: When she reached to her room girl, she bowed so deep oh Lady, walk on by la la ha.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: And she tell me bae.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lady, Walk on by la la the hill, down the hill with Miss Bito there.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: Just a fun fact, right?
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: If you didn't know, up the hill, down the hill, when Miss Bito there, you know it's Holly Bito there, mother or grandmother, he was so mother in that song, holly Bito there said he wasn't pleased with that at all.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: He found kitchen and mama guy in him.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: These two are real, my men, you know, two are real my men, but they ain't like one another for years because kitchener, mama guy, any man, mother or grandmother, but holly say before holly passed away to holly, came out and say, you know, he lived to appreciate the song and appreciate the fact that he was him and his family and he beto the name was immortalized in song by the great lord kitchener.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: It's a happy birthday to the great one, right?
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: Uh, there's something I want to talk about here.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Two articles, right, I'll get through them quickly because it's not the greatest news, but it's something that needs to be said.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: Right, you already followed the article or saw this story a couple weeks ago where in south I believe it's on lady hails avenue a soldier walk out in front of bus.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: Right, let me get a quick read here.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: They say soldier stuck by buses on the police, guard at hospital, the soldier who reportedly walked into the part of a bus in san fernando is on the police guard at the hospital.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: The soldier who reportedly walked into the part of a bus in San Fernando is on the police guard at the hospital.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: Investigators said the man allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend the night the previous night, hours before his accident.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: Eyewitnesses claim the 23 year old soldier 23 year.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: 23 year old soldier waited until the PTSD bus approached him on Tuesday to step off the pavement along Lady Hills Avenue and back of there, resulting in the bus colliding with him.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: He's been treated in San Fernando General Hospital.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: Officers said a woman who said she was the soldier's ex-girlfriend reported that around 10.30pm on Monday she was with him in a vehicle heading south along the Solomon-Hochoy Highway.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: When they began arguing, the woman told police that when she and the soldier neared the Coover Hospital, he allegedly grabbed her knife and stabbed her repeatedly.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: He then attempted to turn the vehicle onto the North Bong Lane.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: Now, sad story right.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: So this story went down more well.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: We first hear somebody get hit by a bus and then, when you hear the bus driver and passengers talk about it, it seemed to be that it was an attempted suicide.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: And you know this.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: This whole idea.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: I just want to talk about men for a minute, right?
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I?
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I know that the, the abuse is wrong.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: We could put that, put all that out there, right.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: Domestic violence we support that.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: And abuse women we love women, you know.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: I mean the hitting women, of getting violent to the women anyway, is not something we'll ever condone.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: But just to spare a minute to talk about the men, right, because I also saw a similar story this week talking about khadijah.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, who's a mp?
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Uh, under a unc mp, she.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: She went her seat.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: She had to have gone on her seat.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: She's she.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: I can't remember what his seat is, but uh, in a story that being pieced together, right, the first story on one of the social media blogs was saying who the person is, and the person is allegedly a UNC counselor as well and they seem to have a relationship.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: They have some kind of relationship and they try to rekindle things.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: And she jumped back in the car with him and the car ended up in fire and she had to come out of the car and run out of the thing and run kindle things.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: And she jumped back in the car with him and the car end up in fight and she had to come out the car and run out thing and run to the police station and that's where it end up and stuff and like this.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: These things seem to be very, very, um, as much a part of our culture as trinidad is.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: This thing with the.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: You know, domestic violence and the issues associated between man and woman, and while we talk about crime, a lot, stories like these affect the country just as much as the crime stories, because in the midst of a bloody weekend like we had the weekend before, believe ways, there's a whole lot of crime in the midst of that.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: You tend to find that you go have some kind of domestic violence thing and you always hear this if it's not violence to the children and to the women, or or within the family, men among the family fighting one another, and it gets into brutality.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean Well-passed words, you know, and it's something that when you're talking to men right, men as men I think it's underestimated sometimes in our society how much pressure men could be under, because there's this new world where you could only talk about women and women issues and anytime you talk about men is is mansplaining and all these words that I find to be ridiculous.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know these new age words and these new age people.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: They're brighter than me, you know by far.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: I don't understand them.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: I, I, I strive, but I really don't understand these things the typical or the accepted rule of men, or the traditional rule of men as the breadwinner and the protector, and all those things in the household according to any religious book.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: And it seems to be that the religious books have guided us to where we are today.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: Right, fine position if you follow the religious books.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: It took us well.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: It served us very, very well, very, very well.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: Now the people gonna tell you is because we ain't following the book tatty, why we here, right, but wherever it is.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Generations have attempted to follow all these books and look where we are now right.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: But the accepted in a lot of cases rule, or the, the masculine role in society to protect and to, to earn and to to mine, basically, and to honor and stuff.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: I think whether men decide because I I I let me put it this way I kind of comfortable with that role, I prefer myself in that role.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not knocking anybody these new age men who decide that everything must pay for half and half and everything.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: I I'm not knocking anybody, these new age men who decide that everything must pay for half and half and everything.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: I I'm not knocking them either, but I'm old school.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: I prefer to be in a position where I am that typical man, not traditional man or whatsoever.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: It is that I.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: I call it that.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: But I just want to say that that is a kind of pressure and a burden to shoulder.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: That not easy, because when you, uh, when you're in a position like that in your household and you are the shoulder, whatever it is happening in the house.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: So, whether it is something wrong with the house, something going on, there's something, thing pump blowed, all these things.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: And you seen as the man now who's supposed to be able to fix thing which I can't fix nothing.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: You seen as the protector where if somebody come up there, I frightened like hell.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: I walk into stacy the other day and a dog just rush out.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: I had and look into rush we now, as a protector, I going in front, but I really going in front to take biting me and nothing.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: I can't stop the dog from doing nothing.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: I, what I'm doing is sacrificing my whole self to make sure she and zachary good, which again, I'm not complaining but I'm okay with it.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: But I just want us to continue to remember and acknowledge how difficult that is a role to play, because it's not a.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: I'm a protector.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: By frightening like hell.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: I frightened for my own life.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: I supposed to be the, the caretaker, the household.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: I frightened for my work.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: I frightened for the future gas price going up, electricity price going up, all these things is real things that men deal with.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: I see only women like to post something and I find it's a very interesting thing that always post right only like to post this thing that is going wrong.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: That says me on vacation while my man plan everything and them just walking through the airport looking and the man listen them, things and and again, I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, I just say that when you, when you look at and what he sold, you do if you stab your girlfriend and think that is not.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not in any way condoning that, but I want us to remember and to acknowledge and to address the fact that men are tasked with an enormous burden when it comes to the woman and the children in our society and then, at the same time, men are minimized and minimalized and ostracized in society and, you see, in the very media or by the very women and children we're trying to work on and protect and make sure that they're good and sacrifice us.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: I look into the take dog bite.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: It's not the first time.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: At a time we in cancun, right, and we walked down the strip and we went down a place and we went and take sign by the big cancun and thing.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean me, zachary and stacy.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: Then I come up with the bright and dotish idea.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: Rather than than walk on the street, I say, look the beach there.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: The hotel is down the same street, so let me walk along the beach, right, but with my foolish self.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: You see, leading people into damnation.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you're a man who's leader of a household and think about damnation man leading it through.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: When I walk down the beach now, a part now starts to get rocky.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: It turns into a hike.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: The beach now apart now start to get rocky, turning to hike.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: But we're too far to turn back.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: I said, just Christ, what the hell I put myself in this for we climb over the rocks and take we going, zachary's a soldier, we going.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: Now we up on a ledge outside somebody's wall, big camera pointing down at me face.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: I feeling like I gonna get locked up or brought.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: I don't like it.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: But now resort where we supposed to go to.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: If I could just get past here, I seen like you have to pass through the back of somebody's yard.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: So and then by the time you do so, boom and we bust out in the resort.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: Right, why, when I come off the jail ledge I feel like an outsider man?
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when I walk past that jail ledge and walk past the camera something, and I look down in the yard we had to walk through if you see the size of the two doberman and a little kind of half white girl playing with his dog boy as I make for me and the dog I make for the doberman come russian, a good distance away from him.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: But I cannot run because we on the jail ledge.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: So I kind of push back myself now and I tell stacy and then go back.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: The only words I could have got my mouth was go back.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: Up to now she didn't see the dog because she wish she could see it and I just said go back and I leaned back on the wall.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't make up my mind to take bites again.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: But here was my plan because I remember the seaside right there.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: So I told myself when the dog rush, the dog would jump.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: It's Doberman, they from my neck.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: So I say, well, the first one who jumped from my neck, I grabbed any two front hand, what is called them pause, and he in his seat.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: He had to learn to swim.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: I've taken a big swing out here and threw you out in the sea.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: I only taken bite from one dog at a time and she hear me good, so she got she.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: She see me leaning back on the wall.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: She leaned back on the wall too, but by a shorter words, not because afraid, dog bad.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: When I see the doberman in reach me up now I must have only little bit of courage.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: I have the little bit and I peep out and the little white child now call me come, come.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: I say which come the dog.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: They mean talking, no, english is heavy spanish.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: But she see what happened the dog back and she done put away the two dogs.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: Already and telling me past you, because I learned subsequently that they have to let people.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: Once you have a seaside property, I guess that's everywhere in the world you can't stop people from passing through and things.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: So it would have been problems for them.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: If they get a dog, they don't attack people and thing.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: But do my man bite can't be easy, do my man bite can't be pleasant and thing.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: But again, as man I've taken all the bites and I rather the dog and bite me up.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: I rather go.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: I let the dog and them send me home and let two of them live that me.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: But you can't have men in like traditionally in that masculine role or want to say that this is your role that men should play, and then, at the same time, talk about the same men like they're doing nothing and they're worth nothing and they are no value to you.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: And it have a hundred different kind of woman day with are to buy gift only.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: I'ma list them out it is mother's day and the birthday and the valentine's day.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: Where is a constant one-way street where women are valued in society and seen as the beacon of which which they are?
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: But you can't just expect that you could live like that for decades and centuries and that men ain't gonna trip off, because the pressure of that is enormous.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: You're also living in a world where we know let me, let me talk to the brass tacks, right, we know what all the love and the family life and all the thing.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: And you also know that, boy, if you, if you fall on hard times, you could be watching back and nobody there with you.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: You know the reality.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: You know I cannot have a clap for that they go and tell you go rally with you.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: But they will rally with you in the short run if you can't figure that out, if you can't figure that out fast, where you earn, and especially in this society.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: This society is more of today's world, is more of making money to get things rather than planting or growing or killing or fishing on them kind of thing.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: So the yesterday man had to learn to do them things, otherwise he had monkey pants, but today I don't.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: And if you find yourself not earning and you can't make and then the frustration starts to get to you, then the frustration is the fastest.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: I ain't saying all women will do this, but you have men in opposition where you could find out he's all kind of a waste man and he's all kind of this and that.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: And then you find out, man, the next man.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of pressure is what I'm saying in a nutshell, and I'm reading this to say this right From the Trinidad Guardian by Joshua Simengal male suicide rising in TNT.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: This is not a Trinidad phenomenon, this is something that you will see all over the world.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: Josh Horton-Munger said there's been a 25% increase in suicides in Trinidad and Tobago over the last eight years.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: According to the data from the Ministry of Health, between 2016 and 19, 371 people took their lives, an average of 93 suicides per year.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: Comparatively, 2020 to 2023, 478 people died by suicide.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: An average of 120 a year Forward to the five suicide victims in Trinidad and Tobago is men, which is higher than the global average of male being twice as likely to die by suicide.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Men have accounted for 83% of the self-infected deaths in this country since 2020.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: However, data about the most common motives is not available.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: Same thing I was saying about data just now, right, so I'm just saying that these are the things and they went on to say.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: Covid19 exacerbated these figures because when it came on the scene, there were a lot of psychological problems.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: That also came the isolation, the death of relatives, unemployment, the whole scenario, uh, where people question the meaning of life.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: Covid actors are fuel for the fuel and an accelerant.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, when you look at people who have lost their job during covid, who not earning as much, where prices I mean, we've been a world where, during that same time, we're talking about prices increasing so the pressure you under to manage this household and, and, and, and be the protector and the provider, and all them things you find yourself in a place where that is increasingly difficult to do, and this is a man, is a kind of tankless job sometimes.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: No, so I just using this as an opportunity for us to not forget men in society and the role that they play, and and not forget that I mean with women on vacation, where you just it's a good little parallel for life, you know, because sometimes women just sorry, a woman will listen to this part by talking to the men.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you want them just living in our song, you want them just living.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: They will know what you're going through, for you to have where you have and for you to live the life where you live.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: And so so when you're home relaxing, when you're done, you don even know what you and your boss went through.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: A woman on your walk gave you pressure.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: When you see, they put a woman on there, them as the bosses.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: They're bad, they're talking to you all.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: They don't even know what you're going through.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: When the day comes, or you're doing manual labor, you're hot and you're sweating and you're going out, and then, when you're reaching this half and half world now after you, them coming to tell you but we ain't do this and you ain't do that and you ain't love it, and all this, I just sorry, sorry.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: I had to take a minute.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: I had to take a minute to bat for men right, because I really feel sorry to see that situation with that, with that soldier a couple weeks ago, and then this thing with Khadija.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, and again I want to make it clear that we're not condoning violence to women in any way and we never will, but it is important.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: So when you see how many in your life and you know the thing about it, is man so damn simple, man so damn simple.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: But sometimes a man just want a little acknowledgement and all Thanks for what you do.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you being there for me.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: I see in you, I see in the way you're praying A man want to hear sometime.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of you, I'm proud of the things you're doing.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: I'm saying not all this sort of man bashing I'm talking to particularly the younger people Not all this sort of thing.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: We could do enough of that.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: But anyway, heavy topic this call for light song right, and this is one of my favorite kitchener songs.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: I've played as if I had the opportunity to play this every single podcast, I would.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: It is not one of kitchen was most popular, but it's certainly one of the sweetest.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, and listen to this from the beginning to the end.

  Speaker 2: I had me legs crossed together and holding me purse in the center.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: All at once, something got me frightened.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: It was the spider hands up the gap.

• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: I admit, mom, it's me who told him.
• 1:36:53

• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: Talking about Prada man.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of these youth men.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: Without sounding condescending, at least certifiably bad, ezekiel terrorizes the nation.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: I want to say I'm proud of Michael Mondesi too.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: Let me tell the people I'm proud of them too.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: Let me drink from my own juice.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: I saw Michael Mondesi take the time to do two articles back to back.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: One is about this young fellow they call Certified Samson, who is certified by all the youths in this country, if only they don't like Certified Samson.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something these youths and them love him Because I see a Zachary I mean initially, when I see him doing his skits and things, it was always somebody getting licks.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: Every time you look Certified Samson getting licks for something or another, and zachary and them used to find that hilarious back in the day and he come full circle and create this um character called ezekiel.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: If you don't know ezekiel, check it online.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: Right, it's a little child character of a child who, ezekiel is a problem.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: Right, ezekiel is a problem.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: Salute to ezekiel.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: But, more importantly, create a character that the whole nation is going off on.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: I've seen companies using using it as part of the marketing plan about Ezekiel and the ads and them kind of thing, and it's just the whole country, or at least the social part of the country, seem to buy in and bite off a piece of this character, ezekiel, to talk about.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: Ezekiel is a name for any bad little child in Trinidad.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: And another youth who they have, I believe, is Kyle.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I only know him as Kyler Let me make sure I have his full name, kyle labeled here as a boss of comedy by Michael Mondesi.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: Again, kyle, mark and Kyle have a kind of style to one line.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: It's like social media comedians right them men.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: He have a style where he doing these simple skits, he alone doing his skits, like if you know roadie, he does skits similar to roadie where he playing all the characters in his skit, but kyle have a face.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: They will, no matter where it is.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: You're bound to laugh at some point in time and salute as well to the great junior league, because generally I don't know where he come out.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: May know who he be, but again there's people had to find on instagram and think if you, if you don't know them, but find these youths because they have a little movement and it bubbling, or see certified sam snow celebrating a million followers the other day.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: So them fellas doing good and they're growing their platforms online.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: So salute to them and we're proud of them.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: Right, that's the new thing.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: Right, we're proud of these young men.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: Can I just talk about the YouTube?
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: Doing this and doing that, we had to talk about the YouTube.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: I want to leave only this week with maybe one of my favorite topics again, because I saw last week Tuco or was having their prize giving, where gypsy and marshall and, uh, all the winners during the carnival this season, you know, sneaky coming to mind.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: But the man who I want to talk about is the fellow win the freestyle competition.

  Speaker 1: I just forget.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not a young man.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I be talking here and I have the right person in my head and I really calling the wrong name, but, oh God, I really can't remember my name.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: It's too late in the night.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: He used to sell CDs outside of Trinity Mall, so salute to him.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: I know he win the freestyle competition this year, but outside of Trinity Mall, so salute to him.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: I know he won the freestyle competition this year, but they were doing the prize-giving ceremony and within the prize-giving ceremony, randall Mitchell went and announced that the Soka Monarch will be back for 2025.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: You must know it as an election year.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: You know, you must know it as an election year.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: So I read it here from Kevin Feldman in the Guardian.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: It says while several Soka artists are optimistic about the possible return of the International Soka Monarch Competition next year, they want organizers to take a different approach to make the event fairer for competitors and attractive to patrons.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: On Tuesday, during a prize-giving ceremony by Tuko, tourism Minister Randall Mitchell said he plans to direct the NCC to release an expression of interest for anyone who wishes to collaborate with the government in organizing a new competition similar to the ISM.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see, because I really came here to say I did not know that International Soccer Monarch was a brand owned by the NCC where they could invite collaborators like that.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: But it's not.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: They're saying a competition similar to Soccer Monarch, similar to soccer monarch.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: So the brights have to call that something different because, as far as I understand, international soccer monarch is a brand owned by a private organization, if I'm, if I have it right, uh, ian bungee.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: Garland alvarez, who won the competition four times, welcomed the return of the competition.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he did.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: He said it was a pleasant opportunity when his wife, fellow soccer monarch, fellow soccer star, fay and lions organized the competition in 2020.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: When his wife, fellow Soka star, fae-anne Lyons, organized the competition in 2020.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: Faced with the threat of having no competition, alvarez took up the challenge and pulled it off in 19 days.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: Alvarez compared the competition to a heavyweight boxing match and noted that people attend to see high-caliber fights.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: He said no other event allowed Soka artists to execute at that level of showmanship.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: I think that's an important statement and maybe we need to get fair and back in charge of it, because I remember when fair and did it, it wasn't just that it was the last sold out show or the first sold out show in a while for them and a big production and all that, but the artists were also commending how smooth the show was and how good backstage experience was and so on compared to other years.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: But I think it's an important point you're making here.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: Sookamonarch is a heavyweight fight.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: So this whole idea that sookamonarch is for new artists and a showcase for small artists maybe it's a payday for small artists.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: But sookamonarch has to be a heavyweight fight and in a heavyweight fight like mike tyson and um jake paul or logan paul, whichever one of them he fights in you need the fighters themselves to promote the thing.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: You need to have a big name.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: And you know mom and ali used to tell four money ugly and tell this one he's a dance and he's, so they that them things is part of the promotion is not just about the fight.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: The personalities themselves are the promoted we can be for.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: The last it was wrestlemania.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: The Undertaker make her appearance.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: It was about you know what I mean?
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: The personalities in wrestling and the storyline behind it is always keep these things.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: Wwf and WWE.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: I watching that since I was my son age, maybe even long before that, to the point now where I is 102 years past my son age and them things still are wrong.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad she say this, because this, this notion, that is for new.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: If you're only a new artist and young artists and unknown artists, nobody ain't coming out for soca man.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: I can not go and have the type of value that it would have.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: And when you're talking about heavyweight or high caliber fights, the truth is that you're talking about?
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: You're talking about about 10 people.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: You know all.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: You want me to name out the 10.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: I have about 10 people in soccer who people really want to go and see fight it out against one another, not saying that the other people can't come in, but when they come in you're probably going to get boy, you're going to get trampled.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: People want to see Marshall go against who Marshall was singing against at the time.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: It was Bungie, where you make up verse and them kind of things.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: People want to see that kind of thing.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: People want to see the biggest people and the most competitive come and they want to see a little story behind it.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: So you see, if they have a thing with marshall and bungee, don't like one another even if you make it up.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: That's what people want to see.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: Uh, that socomon arc ring was basically a showdown of the best.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: It was difficult for any newcomer to come into socomon arc and get to shine, because people who were going to Socoma now were not going to Socoma now to see any newcomer.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: They were going to see existing warriors go head on.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: I like this, you know, lorenzo.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: Mr Renzo Adams, a 2020 ISM semifinalist, said, the absence of competition left a void in Canval.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: However, he wants changes to the competition, including less favoritism for certain artists and song popularity, and leveling the playing field by stipulating a $50,000 cap on presentation expenditure.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, renzo, partially you want to level the playing field and make it, but also you had to create this story.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: You know, not everything had to be true.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: In branding and building brands, you don't have to be telling the truth.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: A story could carry the brand.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: So if it is, you create beef between iowa and marshall, are you?
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: And you carry on that beef through the carnival and the fighting and do them at the biggest.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: So that is what people come in to see, why we're gonna say where you go flying on now, where you go, do a bunch of good thing, they go grappling down.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: He just set himself on fire.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: What exactly people do.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: That's what people come in to see.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: People come in to see the biggest and the best guy you know as a fixture of competition in trinidad and tobago too the judges and them teeth, the teeth, the teeth and the game marshall.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: All that is a track recorder.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about this here, right where the um, the twitter, when you, when you see, soca Monarchs semifinals and Twitter come out.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: I find what they should do with Soca Monarchs?
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: Put it back in a remaster.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: But put in some people who are not writing the competition at all, man who just forget lyrics, who just fall off a stage.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: Make that as entertaining as possible, sometimes at the expense of the artist, but you have to know these fellas are getting paid again, some recognition again, some face time and building your brand.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: But you're going there to get licks.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: It's a beating stick.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: So we create the thing.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: Let twitter build up the following behind socomon arc so that by the time all the heavy haters run through and now we have a show of 10 people who could put on a production.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: Uh, now, now people want go on.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: It's something that they wouldn't want to miss at all, but again, something to pay attention to and to kind of look at over the years or over the next year or so.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: Because, as Randall Mitchell did say, he said that he put in it out there early so they could get it planning together early.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: And I think I like the way Fairline's talking.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: I like the way she's talking already because she understands what it is needed for the biggest show in Canova the biggest show within the biggest show on earth to be a success and I hope that it come off.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean and it's not a brown dog kind of show again.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: We need to have this and whatever that friday night look like, maybe I will go back on my word a little bit here too to say that maybe it's best that, whatever the new name is they come up with here, maybe the government should hold some ownership of that.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: I know I like to talk private sector together, but if this is so important to you to development of your genre and development of the carnival and to just make sure, hope to god that we stay bigger than jamaica carnival.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: So I don't buy bottles because these fellas will call for some kind of bottle.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: They will make you a buy.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: You know it's absolutely looking to buy for people, but just in case it died down or the person who was running it, you know, I mean, have the maybe, maybe government, hold the franchise and make sure, because it's a pity that we, as trinidadians, forget the government now, the government acting on our behalf.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: It would be a pity if we cannot use the term soca monarch anymore, after all the work that went into creating what is the calypso monarch, which is a unique and a unique name and a unique competition globally.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: Uh, and it will be sad if we can't use the term socomonarch again, so I'll even know later, you know.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: But I have a few, I have a few kitchener for to play to leave hollywood because, again, I tell, I have the sweetest ones lined up for here, right, and this one particularly sweet.
• 1:49:08
