Before we get started. Let's go.
0:58
When it was in my mother's womb, I had a calling on my life to do
1:02
something in the glory of God and marry it black and white and
1:06
commit myself to His word and never be LED astray.
1:10
And when it's all over, when He comes, I'll be glad to see that
1:14
day in the morning time. Hey, Mister man, how you doing?
5:12
Hey, did you see the game last night?
5:16
But did you see the shot? I lost money from that.
5:19
Oh man, the shot was. Unexpected sickle cell trait.
5:42
Ham are. You serious?
5:44
When I was young I found out I had sickle cell trait.
5:47
My mom's told me but I didn't have no knowledge of it.
5:50
But when I got older I had a child and the doctor told me my
5:52
daughter had sickle cell. Trait do.
5:54
You know, the fact that both parents have sickle cell trait,
5:56
there's a 50% chance the child may have the trait and 25%
6:00
chance the child may have the disease.
6:02
And that's what's the count. Do you know that 2.5 million
6:05
people in the United States have sickle cell trait?
6:07
300 million people globally. I didn't find out I had sickle
6:09
cell trait until I was in the Army 10 years.
6:12
Next thing you know I had a sickle cell trait exertion site.
6:15
April cell? I thought that was a black gene
6:17
or something. Nah man, the black community is
6:19
number 21 out of 36,000 babies are being born with sickle cell
6:23
disease. You could be a Caucasian,
6:24
Mediterranean, European. You got really a bloodline, man.
6:30
There is an inherited gene in our community that has been
6:33
forgotten. The name is Sickle cell trait.

9:41
Forward to just the the opportunity to to to show the
9:44
world that, you know, black home promotion company in this era
9:49
now and the way it is in boxing right now.
9:51
There's so much stuff going on boxing, so much politics and
9:54
boxing, you know, today, yesterday, Shakur Stevens got
9:58
released from his summer boxing and you know, it's like, I think
10:02
I don't blame the young buck, but just you guys in in the
10:05
industry, they they take forever to to fight.
10:08
You know you, I mean back in the day, you talk crap using the
10:11
ring like two months later, but what No, what, no, you 45 and
10:15
I'm 27 trying to fight, you know, over the wheel.
10:18
And you know when, when when Mayweather fought, you know,
10:21
packet, it was both out of they going out of their prime into
10:24
their mid prime into the in the old man rocket chair state when
10:27
they fought. I think they both would have
10:29
fought at at their their peak of their career or there've been a
10:33
battle right there. That'd be about a four or $500
10:35
million. Fight easy.
10:36
Oh my goodness. But you know, the crowds that
10:38
lost their, their persona and, and the way they were in the
10:43
boxing world, you know, when I got into it in 2012, back to the
10:47
to, to the greatest, one of the greatest ## one of the greatest
10:50
defensive fighters all the time. James blind side Tony shot to
10:53
James. It was a different persona.
10:55
James talks shit, but James he, he'll fight anybody and plays
10:58
any time in his draws. And you had to make it happen
11:01
with James. James would take you down.
11:03
He'd go to city to city and find you and talk about your Mama.
11:06
He could beat your Mama. He sold a ticket and he never
11:09
let the crowd down either. He I don't care what kind of
11:11
shape you say James in James could be a a Nat and flying by
11:16
and he get it with a body shot, a little shot to the.
11:18
Nat to the Nat and. He couldn't keep me to the to
11:21
the to the mosquito. They're going down.
11:23
You know what I mean? So shut up.
11:25
My boy James, the Hall of Famer, he was there when I popped the
11:29
big question to my my new wife to be December 20th.
11:33
He was there when I popped the question and his wife, little

14:45
Mr. Mr. Whitehurst, tell us a little bit about yourself.
14:47
Wait, give me some background man.
14:49
How you guys doing? My name is Aaron like y'all
14:52
talked about. I'm from Long Beach, CA born and
14:55
raised, went to Polly, went to Long Beach State, started boxing
14:59
for real during COVID. Like it's been 6 years since
15:03
stopping boxing now. And initially it wasn't even
15:06
supposed to be something that turned into a career.
15:08
It was more so like I just wanted to do it to like stay in
15:11
shape and stay active. And then one day my dad was just
15:14
like I was saying you know it was COVID people working from
15:17
home and then you got people that got to go to work.
15:19
I feel like my dad was mad he was the only one in the house
15:22
who had to go to work while the. Rest of us were working from the
15:24
crib. So it's like I'm working from
15:26
the crib and I'm boxing and then my dad walks in one day.
15:28
He's like everyday I come home. You watching boxing, you always
15:31
talk about boxing doing some boxing like have you ever talked
15:33
about just trying it and it's like for real, like really give
15:36
it a go. And so I prayed on it and I just
15:39
asked God to give me a sign if like if he had a favorite for me
15:43
in it and he did. He showed me a couple signs and
15:47
I haven't stopped since. Spent about three years in
15:50
Amateurs Turn Pro last February in 2025 started off with a
15:55
second round knockout and now we're here 2 and one November
15:59
7th ready to make it 3 and 1. Ready to have another dominant
16:02
performance and show why I'm somebody that people should be
16:05
watching out for. Yeah, go ahead, go.
16:10
Ahead So tell me what why were you watching all the boxing
16:13
doing the doing the pandemic, man, what was what was the itch?
16:15
I've always been, I've always been a fan of boxing.
16:17
So like, the first live boxing match I saw was Floyd versus
16:21
Victor Ortiz when I was like 13 or 14.
16:24
Yeah. And you know, it was a
16:26
controversial fight because of how Floyd stopped them.
16:28
But like, since then, like, it always peaked my interest.
16:31
So like, I went back. I watched Floyd's whole career.
16:33
I watched Andre Ward's whole career.
16:35
I started watching Sugar Ray Leonard and Sweet Pete Whitaker
16:38
and Wilfred Benitez and guys like that.
16:41
Like I always like sling guys. I always like boxers, I always
16:44
like boxer punchers. You know, I like people who look
16:46
like me. And so I just so I felt a little
16:48
of the sports. I was always a fan of the sport
16:50
even before I started competing. And so it's just something that
16:54
grabs you. It's like, it's like when you
16:57
see like a beautiful girl like from across the room and you
17:00
just can't stop looking at her. Like that's how boxing is.
17:02
Like boxing grabs you like that? You know what I'm saying?
17:05
Like a magic wand. You know what I'm saying?
17:07
Like it just incenses you become intoxicated with it.
17:11
Yeah, you do, Mr. Dozer, I think Mr. Davis once said you have a
17:16
call in number. Can you give me a call in
17:18
number? Oh no, not no.
17:21
But. He he can stream, he can stream
17:23
in and and. And yeah, that's the question.
17:25
Yeah. Told me he got the screaming
17:27
stuff too. Yeah.
17:28
So I told him to scream in. Yeah, just scream in, you know.
17:31
So, yeah, you, you text him and let him know he can stream.
17:33
He can just stream in. I I gave him a streaming number.
17:36
You can't call that for this. Yeah, yeah, no, not this one.
17:40
So what do you want to say about Pops, man?
17:41
What do you want to say? Let's talk about family real
17:43
quick. What do you want to say about
17:44
the family? You know, I, I'm very inspired
17:48
by both of my parents, both of my parents coming from
17:51
households where they like kind of had to figure it out for
17:53
themselves. You know, my mom, she had lost
17:56
both of life. She had lost her father when she
17:59
was 19. My pops had lost both of his
18:02
parents before he had even gone to college.
18:04
And so they did a lot of just figuring it out and a lot of
18:07
finding ways to put food on the table, making their own way of
18:09
life, having to bump their head and learn from their own
18:11
mistakes and what not. And so seeing like where they
18:15
got to with the life they've made for themselves and the life
18:18
they were able to give us really inspires me and pushes me
18:21
because it's like they worked hard so that their kids can have
18:24
the opportunity to chase the things they want in life.
18:26
And so it's like, why would I waste what the hard work of my
18:30
parents who are trying to give me the best opportunities
18:33
possible? So that's like the big
18:35
inspiration for them. They always raised me with a big
18:39
foundation like in God, Like if you, you know, you know the
18:43
Bible, you know about the story of Hannah and her being the
18:45
mother of the prophet Samuel and her asking God in the presence
18:49
of Eli, like shit, if he'll just give her a child, she'll give it
18:52
back to him. I like that.
18:53
That's in a large way. Like that's how my parents were
18:55
with all of us. They definitely raised all their
18:57
children like in the presence of the Lord and in the faith of the
19:01
Lord. We were in his house, but it
19:02
wasn't like stopped at the church house like at the church
19:05
and at home. We very much know like the Lord
19:08
was king. And so I would say like that's
19:09
the foundation that gave me for life to just be respectful, be
19:13
God fearing and to be hardworking and discipline, you
19:16
know, so they definitely install those characteristics in me and
19:19
I try to let that be to accomplish that guys, my life
19:22
now and. Then I like that.
19:24
I like, I like that because some, you know, in in our
19:27
generation, my generation, your generation, a lot of people take
19:31
those those back stories, man, and they're mad at their
19:33
parents. You know, they don't, they
19:34
don't, they don't really see, you know, what our parents go
19:37
through when they grew up in their environment, right?
19:39
And it plays out, plays out in, in real time in their life as
19:42
adults. So I like how you could look
19:44
back and reflect that perspective, that perception,
19:47
like, you know, what they went through, they what they went
19:49
through and and they gave me this life and it's my turn to
19:52
make, you know, make something of it.
19:53
So I like how you, a lot of people don't have that
19:55
perspective when you talk to people.
19:57
They used to be upset with something in the family, right?
20:00
That's it. That's it.
20:01
Yeah. Aaron, I have a question for you
20:05
now. How would you let your fans know
20:07
how to get those tickets, man? Can you tell them how to get
20:08
them tickets? Oh of course, if you want to get
20:11
a ticket for the fight November 7th, you can either reach out to
20:15
me like you can DM me on my Instagram which is Aaron dot
20:17
GCO, or you can go to nosafecorner.com, hit the link
20:22
and buy tickets online. Make sure you go to the tab that
20:26
says supporting Aaron buy tickets.
20:28
For Aaron. You know what I'm saying?
20:31
But yeah, there's no $85.85 Dollar General admission.
20:35
You got the ring size, which is like 125 to 150 and then you got
20:39
the sofa lined seats, which is like 1200.
20:41
But whatever view you're going to be, whatever like you decide
20:45
to buy, there's not going to be a bad seat in the house.
20:46
It's a great venue that the studios has a great view of the
20:50
ring no matter where you at. So pull up, come see me, get
20:54
another one and come see me be dominant, you know, and God
20:57
willing to get my hand raised and both me and my opponent, you
21:00
know, walk out the ring under our own 2 feet.
21:02
Yes, Sir. Yes Sir.
21:03
I'm going to talk about. I got a question for you as to
21:05
why, why her stick is out now I'm, I'm, I, I consider myself a
21:09
boxing library. Now if you can go back 10 years,
21:16
maybe 15 years, then you have a chance to fight some of these
21:19
greats. Who would you want to fight in
21:20
your weight class? At 1:15 and 1:18, you talking
21:24
about the Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez's?
21:27
You talking about the Juan Francisco Estrada's, the Soriska
21:30
at Saronga Massage, the Carlos Quadrices, You know, like all
21:34
those guys, that was like when they were in their prime, when
21:36
HBO After Dark had all the little guys on there scrapping.
21:40
So I'll just, I'll be right in that mix.
21:41
I'll be fighting all those dudes in their prime, to be honest.
21:46
Yeah, I would say those are the names, those four names I'll
21:48
fight before Kings of 115 at the time.
21:51
Big time. See what we're talking about
21:52
now. What you How do you see yourself
21:54
when you first met Mr. Jeff Davis?
21:56
How did that come about? You and Jeff, it was somewhere
22:00
through this guy, one of my sponsors, he does my trunks.
22:03
His name is James. His brand is Teflon 7.
22:06
And he had been like tagging me on like all of Jeff's posts and
22:12
he had told me like, oh, like you need to follow this guy.
22:15
So me and Jeff followed each other.
22:17
And then I seen him post that he had just gotten his promoter's
22:21
license. He was officially licensed to be
22:22
a promoter. So I reached out to him and I
22:24
was like, are you having a car before the year last time?
22:26
I'm trying to fight again. And he told me he was and I was
22:29
like, all right, bro, like I would love to be on the car.
22:31
And he asked to see my last fight.
22:35
So I sent him my last fight from April.
22:37
And he was like, we'll definitely have you on the car.
22:39
And you know, it went from there.
22:41
I was able to meet him in person at the venue a couple weeks
22:45
back. They're not disappointed.
22:48
Is energy on the phone definitely translated?
22:51
Oh yeah. Oh, oh, and that and that Jeff
22:54
David laugh, dude, that Jeff David laugh, boys classic.
22:57
That laugh, that smile. He know, he know the game, he
23:00
know the business. He was a smart anybody came to
23:02
me and said, Dre, you know everybody in this game and and
23:06
like you be my, you know, my president of box operation.
23:10
I was very honored to do that. I know the the cut off point
23:15
when it comes down to fighters, when it comes to cutting weight,
23:18
how do you keep yourself in shape, what you're eating, your
23:20
mindset and how you do things. And Jeff was was so just he like
23:27
being fucked with the liberated for that kind of stuff.
23:29
Like what do they really mean by you cutting the weight with
23:32
these fighters? But he's straight to the point.
23:34
If you if you hear the fight, you come to fight.
23:36
That why he named it no say corner.
23:38
There ain't no say corner getting that right when you got
23:40
somebody hurt or they were they hoping for that bill to save
23:43
them and then you can't save save that last round.
23:45
So when you beating them up on the November 7th, Mr. Wider, let
23:49
them know and whisper There ain't no say corners bro.
23:52
We going to go and. Go no it's never another safe
23:54
corner in there when you got 8 oz gloves on and two growing in
23:58
you know going in there there's no safe corner and you know all
24:01
they like the LSA in boxing bro, one punch changes everything so
24:06
with one punch anybody could be unsafe, but you know I put the
24:09
work in to make sure I'm the one that's good and that they don't
24:12
want in trouble so that's how I look at it I.
24:16
Love it, I love. It What do you what do you want
24:18
to say about your camp man? What do you want to?
24:20
Say about your camp, how about that that Brandon Cannon?
24:23
Camp, oh man, I mean my camp. I'm blessed.
24:26
I'm blessed to be up under Brandon under Cam.
24:29
You know, Brandon, like Dre said, he's one of the best
24:31
fighters in the world. He's been ranked top five in his
24:33
weight class for for forever. He fought competed for world
24:37
titles. He just came off with a dominant
24:39
win over Sir he Belichick. So when you got one of the best
24:42
in the world today, overseeing your training day in day out,
24:46
giving you like the little things in there and he's able to
24:49
be more hands on than your regular coach, like I'm sport,
24:52
Brandon, I don't know how many times.
24:54
And so when you're exploring somebody like that and they tell
24:57
me you're doing this, you're doing that, I'm seeing this,
25:02
this is this is the opening that you're leaving for me.
25:04
Like it's a whole different perspective and it's a
25:07
perspective that most fighters don't get to have.
25:09
And so I would say that is that's one of the reasons I feel
25:11
like my camp is the best camp, one of the most left on camps in
25:14
the game. But you know, with more time and
25:16
just continue to be coachable and learnable and, you know,
25:20
continuing to grow under him. Like people would see like how
25:23
good of a coach Brandon is, how good of a team Brandon Cam shout
25:27
out Renee Renee's another coach in the gym has worked with
25:29
fighters like Roy Manvia and Venado Lopez, and he's over at
25:33
Canton Nation too. And so all the eyes that are in
25:36
there that who've seen the sport at a world class level, it's
25:39
definitely it's humbling and it's humbling because there's
25:43
always something to work on. There's always something for
25:45
them to, you know, tell you that you're better at.
25:47
But it's a blessing because you're always getting better.
25:49
And that's all in any fighter color force to keep getting
25:52
better. You know, everyone is stagnate.
25:56
But we say, man, we always said that when that's why we had this
25:58
show. That's why if I went went, you
26:01
know, if Ron came into this bags canvas, man, I was like, man,
26:04
put me on board. It's like, you know, I'm the I
26:07
like to be the voice man. But Jeff got a huge
26:10
announcement. He haven't made it yet.
26:12
Who who a special guest is going to be is going game changer.
26:16
He can't wait. He like me, he can't wait.
26:18
And I feel that the game of the boxing is so, so, so dramatic
26:24
sometimes. But you're going to bring the
26:26
magic that day along with that whole entire card of guys with
26:30
Patrick Patterson, a special tag who's trained by Terry
26:34
Claiborne, who's you know, who trained Denzel for the
26:37
hurricane. It's going to be epic nightmare.
26:40
It's going to be iconic night and it's going to be a great
26:43
time. But remember folks, those
26:44
tickets are on sale right now. We'll get them tickets at
26:47
www@nosafecorner.com. They selling crazy.
26:50
And if you miss out, don't be calling me in jail the next day
26:53
and and, and Aaron say I missed your fight when you live 10
26:56
minutes down the road. So ain't no excuses.
26:59
We bring the women out. We we got we got veteran
27:01
discount for vets for first responders.
27:03
Come check us out November 7th. It's going to be a great, great
27:07
night to fight and boy, I'll take.
27:08
Same way, you know, and I, I, I got a probably a sense of it,
27:12
but I don't, I don't want to just guess, but your mindset,
27:15
the mental toughness, is it growing up in Long Beach, you
27:18
know, I hear the spiritual contact deep rooted.
27:21
The seeds are there. So what?
27:23
What does that mental toughness come from, man?
27:25
I mean, definitely, you know, growing up in Long Beach, you
27:27
know, there ain't no punks in Long Beach.
27:29
Everybody, everybody you did on. Well, you know, growing up,
27:32
whether it's like whatever you do, whether he's playing
27:34
basketball or playing football or if you're fighting or
27:36
whatever, like you ain't supposed to raise no punks
27:38
coming out of Long Beach And just, you know, LA in general.
27:41
And then definitely faith has a big part to play in it because,
27:44
you know, Psalm 144, the Lord prepares my hands for war.
27:48
So if the Lord prepares my hands for war, then like, what am I to
27:50
be worried about? You know if.
27:53
Leads. Me besides meadows then, like
27:55
what am I to be stressing over? You know, the one of the fruits
27:57
of the Holy Spirit is the peace that surpasses all
28:00
understanding. And so I'm confident and find
28:03
peace in the fact of my hard work and the favorite that he
28:05
has on my life. So I'll never go in and worry.
28:09
Yeah, you you missing some sports?
28:11
You play any other sports? No, I'm a big basketball fan.
28:15
I ain't never really played no sports when I was in school and
28:17
nothing like that. But I'm a basketball fan.
28:19
I'll say Kyrie, my favorite guard of Kyrie happy to see him
28:23
back tonight coming back on the ACLII need at least 25 for my
28:27
boy. I need him to let people know
28:30
his his he back and it's it's serious out in Dallas with him
28:33
and Cooper flag so. You so you got a you got a team.
28:36
Who you who you watching other than the play?
28:38
You're a play. You're a fan of the game or a
28:40
fan of the players. Which one?
28:42
I'm more of a fan of the players nowadays, mainly because I
28:45
really watch a sport like that. No more because, you know, with
28:47
boxing still working the job, because you know, I ain't got no
28:51
big promoter behind me right now.
28:52
So it's like I'm still working the job and training between
28:55
that. I'll be having time to watch
28:56
sports like that girl. So I I just enjoy, I enjoy
29:01
watching the game, honestly. What what about your music?
29:04
What you got in your headphones when you when you're working?
29:08
Out it depends you know somedays it's like some West Coast stuff
29:12
like Mark Lux or AZ Chai or Kendrick or Jay Rock or
29:16
Schoolboy Q. Sometimes it could be gospel
29:18
like The Winans or something or Marvin Sapp or it could be old
29:23
school like sometimes I play Stevie Wonder in the gym if that
29:26
like when they give me the ox. It just depends on the day.
29:29
Lately lately I've been bumping AZ Tykes new album a lot.
29:33
Mark Williams got a new song called Bunk.
29:35
I'll be playing that a lot. And Oh MO 3 is always in
29:40
rotation and Rafael Sadiq lately has been played Rafael Saad,
29:46
Indiana. He went.
29:47
He took me back in Jericho days. Get involved even in like some
29:53
of his songs with Lucy Pearl, like I've been, I don't know,
29:55
I've been listening to that on the way to the gym.
29:58
So I'll be, it's eclectic. It's all over the place.
30:00
My music taste is all over the place.
30:02
I love the man. Now I got a question for you and
30:05
it's with all the women out there.
30:06
Probably when you got you got the other half while you get in
30:09
this in this world of boxing and you got your other half that you
30:11
committed to and how's that working if you do have that when
30:14
you training for a fight? No, not right now.
30:17
I'm single right now, but. Heard the lady, heard the 1st.
30:20
When I when. I he set you up for that one he
30:23
set you up for. That one didn't let him.
30:26
Set you up. But when I've dated in the past,
30:29
like they're ready for fights, you know, it's just, it's just
30:32
about conversations. And, you know, I was lucky
30:35
enough to have partners that were very supportive, you know,
30:38
I mean, who were supportive and you know, who were just asking
30:41
how could they help me be ready to the best of their abilities?
30:44
And you know, that's, that's the important thing.
30:46
Like if you have a partnership who's willing to support you and
30:49
back you, you know? Ain't nothing wrong with that.
30:52
Help me that help me you. Know what I'm?
30:54
Saying help me, help me out. Nothing.
30:56
Wrong with the rib? What?
30:58
Do you want to say about Coach Cam?
30:59
Coach Cam, you know she's underrated as well over there.
31:02
What? She what she say about her that
31:04
coaches around, I know she is. She's definitely one of the most
31:09
like slept on like as far as how hard she goes.
31:12
She she helped me with my conditioning for my last fight.
31:15
Bro, Oh my God. She had me doing these bike
31:18
exercises and I was like laying out on the floor after.
31:21
But like she's really intense. Like, you know, like people see
31:24
the videos with the kids and her doing a mess with the children
31:27
and you know, they think it's all cute and this sweet, but
31:30
it's like when it's time for her to like be involved and really
31:33
helping you get ready. Like she's invested.
31:36
Like she's yelling and she's screaming and she's shouting.
31:39
But it's not like, it's not like a bad yelling, screaming,
31:42
shouting. It's like a she cares.
31:43
She invested yelling, screaming, shouting, like, you know, I'm
31:47
your grandma yelling that she from the sidelines, like
31:49
watching you play a game, like I tell you what you need to do.
31:53
And so she, she brings a lot of energy and she just, you know,
31:57
she asks, she's always asking for like more like if she see me
32:01
doing course, we're like, all right, all right, we'll do a
32:03
hundred of these or whatever, you know what I'm saying?
32:05
So she's definitely an extra push and just another set of
32:08
hands. And you know, it's always, it's
32:11
always good to just have someone like that.
32:14
No, I love her mint worker Mint worker's a phenomenal.
32:18
So I'm, I'm actually this question.
32:20
I, I asked a lot of fighters, but I asked James, Tony this and
32:22
James, of course, a bit support when you, it was on your
32:26
mission, like you said, your dad had you all really out there
32:30
focusing on other things. Like we said, we should give
32:32
something to try. Now this is something you would
32:34
ask your, your, your, your, your younger self when you were like
32:38
10 years old. Did you ever see yourself when
32:41
you had now at 10 years old? Because every kid is a dream.
32:45
No, at 10 years old, I ain't seen myself here.
32:48
At 10 years old I ain't seen myself boxing.
32:50
But, you know, life works that way sometimes.
32:52
You know, like what's an example?
32:57
David And take David out the Bible.
32:59
You know, David was a shepherd boy tending to his father's
33:03
flocks when he was anointed to be a king.
33:05
You know, he wasn't. He didn't.
33:07
He didn't. I'm sure he didn't go from those
33:08
flocks, leave those flocks to think he was about to be a king.
33:12
And I'm sure he didn't expect the journey that came with it to
33:15
being an exile, coming back to the Kingdom, all that stuff.
33:18
And so sometimes life just takes you on turns, twists and turns
33:22
like that, and you know, you just got to ride it out.
33:24
I'll say that even though this isn't where I expected to be, I
33:28
wouldn't be anywhere else. I would rather be anywhere else.
33:31
I really love boxing and I'm happy I found my way to it.
33:35
Before I let you go, man, what do you want to say to the fans
33:39
coming out? We want to say to the fans is
33:40

34:24
because I've had people tell me that about my last flight.
34:27
I had people coming up to me like, man, I got something.
34:29
I'm supposed to be out of town November 7th, but so last fight
34:32
looked like it was cracking. I'm trying to see if I can make
34:34

Once again, no safecorner.com tickets on sale now.
37:36
You better get them, you heard? You know what, I got one more
37:39
quick. This is a military network,
37:40
right? So we broadcast.
37:41
So a lot of veterans are watching you from globally.
37:45
Your mindset do you do you when you put them their gloves on?
37:48
When, when does the when does your mind click over to the
37:51
boxer? Well, that identity.
37:52
When does that click over? Do you notice when I'm driving
37:57
to the venue? Honestly.
37:59
And so like when I'm driving to the venue, like things start to
38:02
get more serious, but it's still kind of like loose and it's
38:04
still kind of fun. Like I'm still like listening to
38:06
my music and bumping my head or whatever.
38:08
And then, you know, stretching out, you kind of just talking to
38:10
other fighters or in the locker room, which or whatever.
38:12
But then once I get my hands wrapped, that's like when it's
38:15
all the way serious. That's when it's all the way
38:17
serious. That's like when it's no more
38:19
laughing. Once the hands is wrapped, it's
38:20
time to warm. It's something one month.
38:22
It's time to start shadowboxing, time to put them gloves on.
38:25
And then once you like, once you start doing miss in the back and
38:27
you hear that the first couple. And you hear the first couple
38:31
times you. Hit the miss.
38:32
It's like all right, like now we really got to go because you
38:35
know, like it ain't like a vet, like any veteran will know like
38:38
when you go to war, like you ain't there to play with nobody.
38:40
Like they trying to take you out and you trying to take them out.
38:43
It's really you. It's it's not you know, it's not
38:47
like other sports, like other sports, like we playing the
38:49

All right, welcome back to the Frondos, a show on the military
42:38
broadcast real network. MB Radio dot US If you want to
42:42
support us, you know, make sure you hit that QR code up there
42:45
and they provide all of the services for us here at the
42:48
station Where there it goes. Yeah, they provide all the
42:51
services for us here at the station.
42:53
So we appreciate you. If you want to thank us for our
42:55
service, we got representatives of all branches here, first
42:58
responders, their their family members finding their voice,
43:01
sharing their voice around what it is to be a veteran.
43:05
As you heard Aaron talk about it from the athletic perspective,
43:09
we're not different. If you look at the mindset of an
43:11
athlete and I have mindset of a, of a soldier or veteran service
43:15
member, there's a point in time where our brain clicks over and
43:19
when that brain clicks over, it is no holds back bars and, and,
43:23
and for some of us, we, we learn how to turn it on.
43:27
But the transition is how do we turn that off, right?
43:31
That's why I didn't get a chance to ask him.
43:32
But you know, for some people that identity crisis is strong
43:35
when it comes to the mindset. And I know Big Dre, you, you
43:38
serve too, man. So you.
43:40
Know. Yeah, man, that, that, that
43:41
sports mindset, that military mindset, man, mental health,
43:46
real life. Boot can't get injured.
43:49
Give me all all kind of things was interesting.
43:51
You know, my my lifetime with me being didn't get a chance to do
43:56
the things I wanted to because the injuries I have for you
43:58
know, but let me tell you something.
44:00
The mindset that, that, that God gives us when it comes down to
44:04
to being in the service, being out in the world, being any kind
44:07
of first responder. The mental aspect of it is
44:11
fighters, man. You guys go through phenomenal
44:14
brain injury. We're getting hit with 88 oz
44:16
gloves, all that blunt force and they they come out being that
44:20
person. That's different.
44:22
Sometimes at the I've played a good 12 round battle when a
44:25
person comes out of a out of a 12 round battle of boxing, they
44:29
mind that they'd be man, they trim man.
44:32
I can't even imagine. I mean, and my my son thought he
44:36
was a man. Well, he can't bend it and he
44:38
said James said what sucker is going to come in to James tumble
44:41
always sucking the kids getting the ring with anybody call my
44:43
$1000 getting the ring man. He had people getting that ring
44:45
man and he said he said he have no headset on and and the head
44:49
girl he they swinging and missing and the more you swing,
44:51
the more energy comes out. If you don't understand that you
44:54
swinging, you're missing that energy and hit him with one
44:56
little flash kidney shot, living shot.
44:59
You haven't had my son doing that that the dance that that he
45:02
did it that he's a chicken dance boy.
45:03
Did you know? You know, you know, you're a
45:05
gentle, you know, cover soon he fought against our boy on New
45:08
York. God with Sabzuda, that chicken
45:11
dance boy. I said, man, you just don't
45:13
know. But like like like Aaron said,
45:15
you don't know what 11 punching the whole demographic like in
45:21
the military, you and that foxhole and you and people
45:23
throwing grenades you like and people understand.
45:25
It's not no gaming you and you serving ain't no gaming out
45:29
there fighting fires and no gaming your pair mates going to
45:31
A to a thing. No one knows.
45:33
You know, you know it's my give me happy birthday look like my
45:36
my other half. Happy birthday.
45:38
Thank you, baby. I love you.
45:40
I love you, babe. Who was going?
45:41
To put to my Dre. I know, but the other half?
45:45
Thank you baby. You get a nail done she's going
45:47
to nail done be out of here. Thank you.
45:50
Yeah thank you, thank you. But it's it's like you know I
45:53
figured from what what you going through with sickle cell.
45:57
The sickle cell is in part members of my family back in
46:00
Mississippi. I'm sorry to pray and I thank
46:03
God Unfortunately I didn't get it, but we did we my my other
46:06
half were talking about the genetic part of of of you know,
46:11
growing up with certain things just because somebody had heart
46:13
disease and the fat don't they send me smiles will get heart
46:15
disease down a generation of her hereditary stuff.
46:18
So I tell people that's the same thing as any kind of support you
46:21
then with look at your daddy box don't mean you're going to be a
46:24
boxer. Oh, your Mama was a nurse.
46:26
You won't you won't be a nurse, but you you're following
46:28
servicemen. You want people think you got to
46:30
file, you're going to file an order sickle cell ain't got no
46:33
no face to it, ain't got no it ain't got no race to it and
46:36
nothing heart disease liver no, no race to it is this is it?
46:41
Is it something that happens Sometimes people actually say
46:44
well, God, why me? Sometimes God may put someone to
46:47
make you a strong individual to go out and help other people.
46:50
Man put it all about. To to draw us back to him and
46:53
then affliction to him, trying to understand the afflictions.
46:56
No one. Is speaking exactly so if you
47:00
what you're dealing with being a great father to your daughter,
47:02
which I've met your daughters there.
47:03
They probably love me Queens, but being a the single dad of it
47:07
and then doing what you're dealing with.
47:09
Then we have a friend who do a wrapping up that that disorder
47:11
and your body just sits down. I had a friend four days ago I
47:15
was on the pickleball tournament and she had those symptoms and
47:17
she ended up man, she said it's the worst feeling she had in her
47:21
body. It was like she just drive and
47:24
she died. She started so you had to get.
47:26
I said I can't, I can't if I can't pronounce it, I'm not
47:29
going to tear it up. But I gave him the nickname.
47:31
I called the Raptor, Raptor father, but I called it but it
47:35
wrapped around your body. But that's but that's why I
47:38
appreciate, you know, you know, for me now sport, I'm kind of
47:41
like Aaron, you know, I don't really watch sports.
47:43
I'm more of are more of the mindset and the mental toughness
47:46
and all that, you know, part of the game, right, the health and
47:50
safety aspect of it. And again, even with these
47:52
boxers, if they don't understand, you know,
47:55
dehydration and how you push your body, you got to listen to
47:57
your body. Even though you want to, you
47:58
know, play the sport and, and do these activities, you still have
48:02
to be able to pay attention to your body because it will tell
48:05
you if there's something going on, right?
48:06
And a lot of. People to cutting weight that's
48:10
most. Important.
48:12
People understand you getting there.
48:14
You have 147 and you got two weeks left to get down to one.
48:17
No, no, do a cut weight. Cut weight is in between
48:19
weights, so sometimes you probably go in like an idiot and
48:22
do a cut weight. The only people who cut weight
48:24
is people desperate for money because you go in there and it's
48:27
at 1:47, you start going in at 1:44.
48:30
It's the most dangerous concept of time to cut weight.
48:33
Cutting weight if you don't know how to do it the proper way.
48:36
Everybody said coach can't help them condition and teach you how
48:39
to dehydrate yourself because you can't rap the Raptors
48:41
waiting for that body to say, OK, I'm going to shut down this
48:43
area right here. And you think you're feeling
48:46
good in the in the in the final 12th round, all of a sudden you
48:49
get to have having trouble breathing.
48:51
And sometimes you got you got to dig, you got to dig, you got to
48:54
dig. You got 2 more minutes.
48:55
Fatigue kicks in. Try to figure out I got I got a
48:58
minute and a half get to win this file.
49:00
I'm I'm down by a point. I got to knock up down.
49:02
I heard him enough. Put them in judges the seat and
49:04
people understand when your mindset shuts down to the point
49:06
that I cannot do this anymore and the great God kicks in.
49:10
So I I love the fact that you make an awareness to people
49:12
understand and the folks out there who deal with this right
49:15
now. If you have problems, go see a
49:16
doctor. Don't be a superstar.
49:18
Yes, we were. We were.
49:20
We were trained not to go to sick call, unfortunately.
49:22
So veterans, brothers and sisters, yeah, even though we're
49:25
trained, you know, not to go to sick call, but you've got to be
49:28
able to take care of yourself. You've got to get those
49:30
documentations. If there's something you hurt
49:31
yourself, sprain your ankle or anything, you make sure you go
49:35
get some documentation because you're going to need that when
49:37
that career comes to an end. And now you got to find for your
49:40
benefits. And then you got no
49:41
documentation. You got to get a letter and all
49:44
kind of stuff to try to prove your case.
49:45
You know, you got to be able to take the same way you dedicate
49:49
your time to that our country, take that some time for
49:52
yourself. So I appreciate you for me.
49:54
That said, the health and safety most important for me, you know,
49:58
for people to understand that. So I.
49:59
Appreciate every day man and and our sister coming on next we're
50:02
going to yeah we'll put prayers on her man and and let her know
50:05
and then angels got. Angels touched me.
50:07
Bring her. Let me bring her up to the deck.
50:09
What's up, lady? Hey guys for.
50:12
Real. What's happening?
50:13
All right. You doing?
50:13
How you feeling, love? I'm doing.
50:16
I'm doing this nothing like it. Yes, I'm going to be praying for
50:20
you and you're going to be my prayers tonight, my prayer time
50:23
of night at 7:30 tonight we praying for you.
50:26
Yes, yes, my name is DeAndre Adams.
50:29
I'm a dear friend of Mr. Farron Dozer and I have a people in my
50:33
family have the sicker cell trait and and we have our
50:37
families known for having different animals in their
50:42
lifestyle. But under the grace of God,
50:43
thank God, I had the asthma. I still have it, the asthma, I
50:47
still have it. But you know, it's like I look
50:49
at it and God saying he puts enough special in me and I
50:52
caught that that the C word back in in 94 in in the in the in the
50:57
throat area right here when I was throwing the MRA, you know,
51:01
some groundwork in my nikito, but I could hit with a flash.
51:04
No BAM, and I had this little lump kid in my throat.
51:07
I said, man, what is going on, man?
51:09
So I go see my doc. He said they found out a polyp
51:12
the size of a dime that was stuck on my lyrics and they had
51:15
to do surgery remove it and they they found out it was a, a a a
51:19
tumor almost lasted to kind of get it all out.
51:21
But the doctor said your your voice would not be the same
51:24
anymore. You'd be a raspy like and the
51:27
earthquake and no fridge earthquake.
51:30
When the earthquake hit, I screamed, said earthquake.
51:32
What's that? My girl, a girl time day.
51:34
She said, babe. I said what, girl?
51:37
I said you talking? Just shut up.
51:38
I ain't talking. I ain't saying what you talking
51:42
about. Just duck and stuff moving
51:43
around. You know what?
51:44
I. Mean the earthquake was the
51:45
earthquake brought your voice back.
51:47
Brought it back, God said God said, I'm not done with your
51:50
son, come back. And that was I haven't stopped
51:53
talking since. The heck with that.
51:56
So I thank God, man, I thank God for but pleasure meeting you.
51:59
Tell us the story, baby. Tell us the story.
52:02
Yeah, thanks, big Drake man. All right, lady.
52:06
So what do you what do you want to update this the community on
52:09
this on this episode? Well, I was racking my brain as
52:13
to what I wanted to discuss today.
52:15
So the topic that I ended up thinking about was just the best
52:21
treatment of acting American women in healthcare.
52:26
Just being in the hospital myself is just something that
52:32
comes up from time to time, you know, just being at the hospital
52:35
and just having to not have the people understand that
52:40
seriousness is our pain is an issue, is always an issue.
52:45
But the more people that I talk to, like my friends, my sister,
52:48
my cousins, I'm just hearing back, you know, that
52:53
unfortunately we are treated very differently than our
52:56
counterparts in the healthcare system.
53:00
Statistically, the numbers just show like that.
53:06
African American women face severe healthcare disparities,
53:09
including maternal morality rates that are three to four
53:13
times higher than those of Caucasian women. 21% of women
53:18
report untrue treatment by healthcare providers due to
53:21
their race. Vigilant behavior. 61% of black
53:26
women take practice Sir, take proactive measures to try to
53:33
prepare for their appointment because of the discrimination.
53:37
Yeah. And then just the impact on the
53:40
care while you're in the hospital, the care, the changes,
53:44
it's just not as urgent sometimes as it is for our
53:48
counterparts. What do you, what do you, what
53:51
do you in a, in a, in a more perfect world from your
53:56
perspective and your, you know, I mean, you born with sickle
53:59
cell that transition from pediatric to adult care.
54:02
I know we're going to plan on doing some segments on that
54:04
because it's a whole different transition from being a child
54:07
teenager to that adult care. We, we, we know that there's a
54:11
different experience. It's proof of proof of that.
54:14
But in in this conversation of your experience as a, as a young
54:19
black woman and you've got statistics on what you know, the
54:22
numbers say, but for you personally, do you in your
54:27
percentages, do you think that you've had, you know, out of out
54:32
of 20 visits are are they are, is it 10 and 10 you've had
54:35
you've been treated 10 times, you've been treated good and the
54:37
other ten you haven't been treated well?
54:39
Or is it like how would you measure your personal experience
54:43
in in that case of the treatment of your experience?
54:47
Personally, when I first came to California, the biggest issue
54:52
that I faced was them assuming that I was on some form of a
54:56
straight drug because I required so much medication.
54:59
Right. So they assumed that because I
55:02
required a higher dose of medication that I had to be
55:04
taking something else, which is unfortunate because they have my
55:09
blood, you know, they could test my blood at any time and see all
55:12
that I had in my system was what they gave.
55:15
Right, that's that's check. That's check one right there.
55:18
Right, that's check one. Do the blood work If you think
55:20
I'm seeking drugs, I like that. I like that Check test my blood
55:25
then if you want to find any narcotic.
55:26
OK, what else? So the other issue we just I
55:32
I've been told so many things from you have a black disease
55:35
should go to black college that I'm sickly, so therefore I
55:41
shouldn't try to do too many different things and just stick
55:44
to what I know. So I've just heard so many
55:49
negative things that I try to just take it all in stride and
55:52
do what I know, what I know I'm able to do to strive and keep
55:57
going and growing your back happen.
56:00
But as far as like finding good healthcare providers, that
56:06
sometimes is a task because when you go from place to place,
56:09
sometimes like for me, it's for instance, for me, my insurance
56:14
changed so I can no longer go to the same facility I'm going to.
56:18
And then because of that happening, the time just got
56:22
closer and closer, and I ended up being crises and I didn't
56:25
have a place to go, so I had to rush to New York.
56:28
So now it seems like you're also from Hospital Hospital, even
56:32
though that wasn't your plan. Right, right.
56:34
But they view it as such because they're like, oh, you were at
56:37
this hospital 2 weeks ago and last month you were over here.
56:40
And then just four months later you're over here.
56:43
And it's like, well, I was planning to jump behind, but I
56:48
just have to go where they take my shirts.
56:50
Right, right. And, and, and so I know for our,
56:55
I don't say I know, but for our community, you know, I, I
56:59
question wonder and, and, and wonder sometimes the ability to
57:06
have the courage to find another doctor, right?
57:09
So sometimes we got to be proactive too, right?
57:12
I don't, I don't know if people think about that.
57:13
If you're not happy with your doctor, your provider, you have
57:16
the right to call him up, look in that book or whatever and be
57:20
like, Hey, you know what? I need to find somebody else
57:23
that can take care of me. So what about that part of it?
57:27
There's do you think there's a level of lack of confidence or
57:31
lack of whatever? What do you think that is that
57:33
why our community? Well, I.
57:36
Could speak. I could speak from it, from both
57:39
aspects, because I've been a mentee to other singers and I've
57:44
worked with the pharmaceutical companies and some doctors
57:47
before. I had both sides of it.
57:49
So from the doctor's point and those who do like the research
57:53
studies, the clinical studies, there's not enough African
57:56
Americans who are willing to give their information out.
57:59
To participate in studies. Right.
58:02
And then as far as the doctors go, the doctors are just like,
58:05
well, the patient doesn't come consistently enough for me to
58:08
give them these resources to continue to get better care.
58:13
Wow. So there's, so there's
58:16
definitely a perception of the and I, and I, I mean, like I
58:18
said, I've only been in this community for 16 years and, and
58:22
developed my own experiences. But there is a part of that big
58:26
Dre that it seems like there's a disconnection and, and, and not
58:32
just in the care, but in our experience.
58:34
And I don't know if we will talk about the experience.
58:37
Of what it is. Like you said, we all have end
58:40
up having some kind of medical concern that we have to deal
58:42
with. We all have something that we
58:44
got to go to the doctor for. But what is that internal
58:49
dialogue? I believe it's that internal
58:52
dialogue that also is a is a hindrance of how can we show up
58:57
to the hospital like it's the first time, right?
59:00
Well. I see my my my.
59:03
In the past and the and put the take the past out of the future
59:07
and put it in the past like it takes some mental level of a
59:10
level of mental. Toughness to show up like that,
59:12
right? Well, here's the the concept.
59:15
I looked at it through a politics point of view and I'm,
59:18
I'm a political man. I'm, I'm thinking about running
59:20
for City Council. Why is it no, why is people not
59:24
advocating enough when it comes down to secret cell near getting
59:28
into in front of the Senate House and then people hear the
59:31
concept. I don't see enough movement in
59:33
groups that say, hey, I know out of every senator that sits on
59:37
that seat in in, in in the White House, in Congress, someone have
59:41
a trait somewhere in their family that they're concerned
59:43
about. And no one, no one never brings
59:45
it up. We're talking about everything
59:47
else. And I don't like cancer because
59:48
I'm a former cancer victim. But we have October cancer
59:51
month. We have domestic violence,
59:53
barely talks about that on on the same entire month.
59:55
You put all the different the different ailments in a special
59:59
month, but I'll never see sickle cell month.
1:00:02
Yeah, no single September. September.
1:00:04
No, it's September. OK, but but like I say, I didn't
1:00:07
even hear about I didn't know it was in September and we just
1:00:09
passed when we talked about it. So why, why ain't someone went
1:00:12
to, to to their local senators, Councilman and, and say, hey,
1:00:17
this is something we brought up more and better care and more
1:00:20
better medicines to see that that they may have a, a medicine
1:00:24
that they're experimenting with. It might work more on sick and
1:00:26
cell patients, But no one talks about that.
1:00:28
We talk about everything else but dropping a 2000 LB bomb on
1:00:33
somebody and talk about something that's going to save
1:00:35
more lives. But I think this is A to me, I
1:00:38
think this is a, a, a thing. They're saying what we're trying
1:00:41
to eliminate some of the the heads in this world over 8
1:00:44
billion people. That's what I think if we let
1:00:46
this this rich race die in office, OK, that race die.
1:00:50
Oh, we can't miss that race because now it's messed with my
1:00:52
pocketbook. Now these pharmacies are big
1:00:54
pharma and no one's watching big pharma.
1:00:56
So you put somebody in charge of big pharma, a lot of these
1:00:59
problems go away. You say, OK, well, you, you made
1:01:02
how much on this are derma and and RC the new weight loss team,
1:01:06
how much money we lost a quarter.
1:01:08
Oh my God, then your son got to have any weight problems trying
1:01:11
to get your son or you put the heck out of him.
1:01:13
Then you know, you put if you're a senator.
1:01:15
So I figured the main person who could be like a Jasmine Crocker,
1:01:20
who probably would have pushed this more, but see we pushed her
1:01:22
out of our seat. So when you're a senator in your
1:01:25
state, no one ever went to the senators, these councilmen,
1:01:29
councilwomen. But Dre, but Dre, but they, but,
1:01:31
but they're every year 365 where people are advocating.
1:01:37
I mean, but here's, here's the here's the thing, though, 2 two
1:01:40
things that from my experience being a part of the community.
1:01:43
One, some doctors say, well, it's only 100,000 people.
1:01:47
So it's not a lot of people, right?
1:01:49
So then you look at it when you look at it from so if, if you,
1:01:53
if their perception is it's only 100,000 people and then you got
1:01:57
to go back to well, if, if we let sickle cell conversation in
1:02:00
here, then what about everybody else is going to bombard us with
1:02:03
all. Of their problems, all the other
1:02:06
yeah. Bringing polio back and then
1:02:07
your family, yeah. Advocating for all these.
1:02:09
Other conditions, another reason why it's seen as not as
1:02:14
important because it's only really effects Middle Eastern,
1:02:19
African American, Latino is the already minority groups.
1:02:25
So it's not seen as a big issue. Even though it affects agents,
1:02:28
it affects Caucasians, it affects the Latino community, it
1:02:32
affects the Asian community, it affects some Caucasians even,
1:02:36
but it's not that big of a wide, so they don't take it seriously.
1:02:41
Right. So, so 8 billion people in the
1:02:43
world and they they trying to claim that only half percent of
1:02:46
people in the world have 6 Zil trade.
1:02:48
That's what you're trying to say and they have no doctors coming
1:02:52
forth and saying, well, now you say, oh, you take the, the visor
1:02:55
and you take all these shots When you, the doctor's doctor,
1:02:57
you take all these shots during COVID.
1:02:59
Now suddenly get these he later he's getting a heart attack.
1:03:01
Oh, he died because of he took the vaccine back in, in
1:03:04
20/20/21. I took the I haven't had no
1:03:07
health issues, but docs, I'm in great shape.
1:03:10
So somebody somewhere lying somewhere.
1:03:14
Stigmatism, especially in the black community, is because of
1:03:18
there were things like this. To take the Tasiki experiment.
1:03:24
So they think of everything as a negative because of the fact
1:03:27
that before it wasn't negative, they were experimenting on us.
1:03:30
They didn't really know what was going on.
1:03:32
They just made assumptions as to what was going on to a specific
1:03:36
group of people. And because of it, unfortunately
1:03:40
we live in this world of well, I don't want to do it because such
1:03:43
and such like this or I don't want to partake because now they
1:03:46
have too much my information. And unfortunately, as a result
1:03:49
of it, it doesn't get the line like that it deserves because.
1:03:53
Of that but didn't Teddy Roosevelt when did he have polio
1:03:58
and while he was going to he was doing World War in World War 2
1:04:02
started with Japanese didn't he have polio and while he couldn't
1:04:05
walk here at the now when he had polio and our president was
1:04:11
rocking this right here and it wasn't done back in 1940s Can
1:04:14
you imagine right now how it is now you know and what let let
1:04:18
let the orange man get a sickle cell tray and she would have it
1:04:21
I bet you'd be all kind of laws but you're taking you know what
1:04:24
I mean. But here, here here's and so you
1:04:27
know, it's for me and my advocacy work, especially around
1:04:32
spiritual conversation, the mental conversation, right?
1:04:37
We've got to be able to not leave it to the system for us to
1:04:40
heal, right? Because if we can again, I'm
1:04:43
saying that's why I asked her if you got 10, if you got 20 visits
1:04:48
in a year and and and 10 are 10 are good visits and ten were
1:04:53
not. So you know, good, you still got
1:04:56
the 10 good ones right. And then and then we also talk
1:05:00
about then with those 10 that wasn't so well.
1:05:03
Did you report it? Did you file paperwork?
1:05:05
Did you did you get some documentation?
1:05:07
Did you bring? That up to your doctor.
1:05:09
A comment was made in one of the communities that I follow on
1:05:13
Facebook, and they were just saying that they were fairly
1:05:17
unfairly mistreated. They've been in the hospital.
1:05:20
They were asked to be, they were going to get them discharged,
1:05:24
they were going to get discharged and they weren't
1:05:26
physically ready to be discharged.
1:05:28
She was still in pain and she was complaining about the pain.
1:05:31
So my suggestion to her was make sure she wrote down all the
1:05:34
names of the nurses, the doctors, they had people in
1:05:37
charge and write a letter. Because I feel like once you
1:05:40
follow up, they will take your cause seriously and try to
1:05:44
address it. They might not address it
1:05:46
immediately in that moment, but they will take the time to
1:05:49
address. And that way by doing that,
1:05:52
you're setting a standard saying, hey, look, this is what
1:05:54
I didn't appreciate about my admission.
1:05:56
This is what I would like to change.
1:05:58
If we don't advocate for ourselves, no one's going.
1:06:00
No one else is going to. So you have to be a big
1:06:03
proponent for yourself and for your health.
1:06:06
But I definitely believe that every instance that happens, you
1:06:10
have to write it down, because if you don't and you just let it
1:06:13
slide, it's going to continue to happen.
1:06:16
Yeah, so my, I, my idea I have I'm thinking about going back to
1:06:19
my, my representative. You know, I'm not from LA
1:06:21
anymore. I'm out in Santa Clara with my,
1:06:23
my new other half, better half. I'm thinking about going through
1:06:27
the City Councilman saying once I have testing to have a big,
1:06:30
these big buses coming that people be tested for that.
1:06:33
And maybe you start seeing some more movement happen because you
1:06:35
don't see enough testing. Buses come out and say, hey,
1:06:39
test to see if you have a sick cell trait.
1:06:41
You never know, but your unborn child will be at risk.
1:06:43
That's when we're not, we're not pushing enough of that.
1:06:46
We pushed up with that that issue.
1:06:48
We probably get the the the railroad or start being built
1:06:52
better and then start putting better trains on the railroad to
1:06:55
get it out there. We, we, we as a, as a trade
1:06:57
advocate, I mean, that's one of the things that I've, I've done.
1:07:00
But again, as you mentioned, the funding like there's the the
1:07:04
sickle cell trust test ain't free.
1:07:06
Exactly. So it's not free and if you have
1:07:09
insurance then you can actually go and ask your your doctor to
1:07:12
get the test done. So, but at the same time, and
1:07:17
I'll add even Red Cross has stepped in to do sickle cell
1:07:20
trade testing during blood drives, but it's still not the
1:07:23
electrophoresis, it's the it's the cartridge that I'll tell you
1:07:28
if you're a S trade carrier. But how long they've been doing
1:07:31
it? How long?
1:07:31
How long Red Cross been starting?
1:07:33
To do only only a couple of years.
1:07:35
Yeah, only a couple. Exactly.
1:07:37
How long have you been around? They've been 5 million years.
1:07:39
I mean they never started doing no testing all these years.
1:07:45
That's what I'm saying, but that's what I'm saying some of.
1:07:46
The stuff we can't. Go ahead, go ahead.
1:07:49
No, I was just going to say further that conversation
1:07:54
specifically, I'm in the hospital this time because of
1:07:56
the fact that they were unable to find a blood match for me.
1:08:01
They tried to test my blood 12 times.
1:08:04
They tried it so much so that one hospital was unable to get
1:08:08
it. They had to transfer me out to
1:08:09
another hospital because of the lack of blood.
1:08:13
So that is a big issue in our community as it is already.
1:08:17
And then on top of the compounded with that is the fact
1:08:21
that once you start getting the blood transfusion, which we
1:08:23
discussed earlier, right, about the fact that you not have to
1:08:27
worry about antibodies in your blood.
1:08:29
Once you get these antibodies after a certain amount, it's
1:08:32
even, it's almost impossible to find a exact match, right?
1:08:37
Wow. So, yeah, so I can go well, I
1:08:42
think it should be mandatory now.
1:08:43
I mean, some of the athletes may get mad at your sentence because
1:08:46
a lot of athletes that are having a trade on the North.
1:08:49
I think it should be mandatory for the NFL to have the sickle
1:08:51
cell trade blood tests when they get these tests, basketball,
1:08:54
baseball, soccer, all of them should be have to be mandatory
1:08:57
if they take these tests because a lot of you guys be on this
1:08:59
field. They drop dead from Raptor on it
1:09:01
from the. College does, but our our level,
1:09:05
we're trying to get it to before college.
1:09:07
I mean, if a family doesn't unaware and then and that
1:09:10
child's played football since 8-9 years old and he gets to
1:09:13
high school and and and then. Collapses.
1:09:15
Collapses in high school, the tested, they're not being
1:09:18
mandatory tested till college. There's still, there's still a
1:09:22
gap in between there. So there have been things that,
1:09:24
I mean, the needle has moved tremendously the last 16 years,
1:09:28
but there's still a lot of gaps. We can't leave it to the system
1:09:34
to take care of. Exactly.
1:09:39
Right. Yeah.
1:09:41
If you leave it to the system, then who knows what's going to
1:09:45
how it's going to play out. So us as a community, you have
1:09:47
to come together and and and help our help our own community
1:09:51
heal first. I refer it back to Moses and the
1:09:57
Israelites when they left Egypt, they walked that 40 years
1:10:01
because their hearts was still in Egypt.
1:10:03
They was complaining, they was upset, they was frustrated.
1:10:06
How could you go to a new land with all that stuff in the in
1:10:09
your mind? That's baggage, God.
1:10:11
Was not. He could not, he could not have
1:10:13
them go to that new land without that baggage.
1:10:15
So we still carry a lot of it's a it's a human being flaw.
1:10:21
We all tell the truth. We got the passes in the future.
1:10:24
So I don't want that to happen to me.
1:10:26
But we have like she's in the hospital.
1:10:28
We have people in our community that won't go to the hospital
1:10:31
because of the last that they the last five visits or, or or
1:10:37
out of 20 visits, they got 4 bad ones and that's all.
1:10:40
They remember the four bad ones but not the 16 good ones.
1:10:42
Dre, how do you forget the 16 good ones but you only remember
1:10:46
the four bad ones situations? Where they're afraid to go
1:10:52
because they're afraid to hear what the bad part might be.
1:10:56
Because there are, and I know some family members and friends
1:10:59
who are just like, I'd rather not go because I don't want to
1:11:02
hear that I have cancer. I don't want to know that I have
1:11:06
pulmonary issues or heart issues.
1:11:08
I don't want to know about it. And that to me, I don't
1:11:11
understand that concept. But there are people who are
1:11:14
like that. So it need be more.
1:11:16
Depends on. How you grew up.
1:11:19
I think it need to be more fundraising for sickle cells.
1:11:22
There should be more more more shows for that.
1:11:25
Like you have a Jerry Lewis telephone how that went for all
1:11:28
these years and Jerry Lewis died and still did it for the what?
1:11:31
Another four or five and it did it disappeared.
1:11:34
No more Jerry tell the time I went bye bye.
1:11:36
So I figured they got enough money, enough money for $700
1:11:41
million. If I keep saying I'm like this,
1:11:44
if I keep saying one more show about somebody range of money
1:11:49
for, for, you know, for the dogs and animals like a family.
1:11:54
But they, they raise more money for the animals and they do it
1:11:57
for human beings to come down to see some of the biggest things
1:12:00
to wipe them all. You give $1.00 a day and you,
1:12:04
you know man, come on now. I prefer animals to.
1:12:11
Humans so right, can't speak on that one because.
1:12:14
You know, Yeah. You know what I mean?
1:12:16
Yeah. I want Peter to be throwing red
1:12:17
on me. I'm going to throw some black
1:12:19
paint on you. You're.
1:12:19
Going to be hanging, not going. To be doing that stuff to me.
1:12:23
But I think I can still that we don't take, we don't take the
1:12:27
sickle cell community for real. It's like we making you making
1:12:32
up a disease that you want to call a disease what you want to
1:12:35
call you making it up or something where it can't be
1:12:37
possible. But now your kids walk around
1:12:39
here always. You can't.
1:12:40
You can't. See her sickle so you can't see
1:12:43
my sickle so. Exactly.
1:12:44
You can't see. I've had that said to me before
1:12:48
by an actual counselor. She was just like you.
1:12:50
You're very done. You look great, you're talking,
1:12:53
you smell good. Like.
1:12:56
I'm fatigued, I'm sore, everything.
1:13:00
But you don't see that part. Yeah, you don't see, you can't
1:13:04
see what's going on inside the blood.
1:13:05
You can't see that unless you do some blood work.
1:13:08
So there's a lot that there's a lot that plays out into that big
1:13:11
Dre, a lot of myths, a lot of stigmas.
1:13:14
I mean, and it's only been around 100 and what about 120
1:13:19
something years now or? 19 yeah, a few.
1:13:24
A few months to them? Yeah.
1:13:25
A few months. Yeah, half.
1:13:26
My life, at least. So I'm 56, so I have, you know,
1:13:30
it's been around, Yeah. Plus, I guess the parents don't
1:13:33
see the parents don't see the kids.
1:13:34
But then you sleep a lot, you very fatigue a lot.
1:13:37
You play football. I'm just tired of having people.
1:13:40
But offseason, you still lagging the same exact way.
1:13:42
Something's mad with your kid if he's athletic and still having
1:13:45
this. He sluggers all the time.
1:13:47
The feeling bad, the bones hurt after the season's over.
1:13:50
He's been on tradition. You have your kid checked out.
1:13:53
Ladies and gentlemen, you only live have your kid checked out.
1:13:56
Have an adult friend checked out.
1:13:58
He keeps you praying about the issues and he's very athletic
1:14:01
himself. It's something to matter with
1:14:03
him, he or she, but I? Think a lot of the issue with
1:14:05
that too is because I also have a few friends that didn't know
1:14:09
that their children had sickle cell till later.
1:14:12
But the issue might be also they could be also seen as growing
1:14:16
pains as they get older and stretch out, you know, you start
1:14:19
growing. So then the confusion is, oh,
1:14:24
when it's just growing pains, it's not sickle cell pain until
1:14:27
they physically go and get tested and then later find out
1:14:30
that it might be very well sickle cell.
1:14:32
Yeah, that's what mine was. Mine was growing pains from 1975
1:14:36
until I collapsed it. All those years.
1:14:40
Man 2006 it was and and I still have the same pains today at at
1:14:44
56. Wow, it's it's like I look at
1:14:48
now it makes me think my son now have the trait my my middle boy
1:14:51
Roderick. And it's like I take God, why
1:14:54
he's so fatigued all the time. He played, I believe so we only
1:14:57
we had him testing back and see. Well, he's a he's a trigger take
1:14:59
trait that I found out in claims for my for my, the mother of my
1:15:04
my child, my son. And she passed away her heart
1:15:07
attack at 47. And it was like, wow, you know,
1:15:11
I look at myself. I said, well, we said no.
1:15:13
And she's and who's the carrier most that was it the female or
1:15:16
the male? Depends.
1:15:18
On So basically it's just it's like flipping a coin and you
1:15:22
know who it may be. Yeah, you know, yeah.
1:15:24
Wow. Yeah, what I'm saying.
1:15:28
So yeah. Wow.
1:15:29
Yeah, yeah, something the next time somebody really got to push
1:15:32
that needle more into the other cities because I know LA, man,
1:15:37
they kids are yeah, I don't know what it is.
1:15:39
It's it's like CTE and football. You can't tell to the person,
1:15:43
damn, you got to pull a brain out.
1:15:45
They out of the school and you find out they got CTE and I know
1:15:49
it's something out there that can show that it's it's
1:15:52
something to matter with somebody.
1:15:53
It's starting to be mandatory when you're having a headache or
1:15:56
amorism and amorit is just like this.
1:15:58
You'd be walking and just drop there for amorisms, you know,
1:16:00
and you look at it like, wow, you just drop there.
1:16:02
Have a sickle cell too, you know, to the point it turned
1:16:06
into rapid. Your body's just freezing up and
1:16:08
your bones are aching and people just wonder what I'm so much,
1:16:11
you know, so, so so I'm so lagging and and it's the reason
1:16:14
I'm out with you. You tell people, go get a test,
1:16:16
go get blood tests done something.
1:16:19
And then what ends up happening too is when you have
1:16:21
complications in addition to your sickle cell, which is what
1:16:25
happened to me because I had colon cancer on top of my sickle
1:16:28
cell crisis. So at the time I was going to
1:16:30
chemotherapy, I was still getting bone pain and they were
1:16:34
having trouble giving me the right medication to take care of
1:16:38
both at the same time. Wow.
1:16:40
Yeah, 111 medicine, absolutely. The other side of the medicine
1:16:43
because it's different kind of that affects the body a
1:16:46
different in a way. Wow.
1:16:48
But child, you my hero child going through that and still
1:16:51
have a smile on your face. I mean, I, I hate, I hate my my
1:16:56
knee hurt. I'll be like pass out.
1:16:57
Oh God, you know what I mean? We get to we get to we get to
1:17:01
spin it off. We have, we have we smiling.
1:17:03
Cut the thumb off, man. You know we are.
1:17:04
But yeah, what you going through is if God got something for you,
1:17:08
that's what it is. Why you still here?
1:17:11
Yeah, I know. I know.
1:17:11
He got something. He got something for Miss Mr.
1:17:13
Doz over there. He got.
1:17:15
He got. That's the whole thing, Dre, how
1:17:16
do we take those afflictions right and, and, and have that
1:17:20
give us our power back, right? So you can either you can look
1:17:23
at what the world has to say about our our condition, or you
1:17:26
got to go and see what God has to say about our condition. 2.
1:17:29
Different you're going to get, you're going to get two
1:17:30
different perspectives. One's going to be disempowering
1:17:33
and one's going to give you your strength back.
1:17:34
So, but wow, people have a choice.
1:17:37
People have a choice. That's that's what that free
1:17:39
will is about. You, you, you get to pick how
1:17:42
you want to do yourself. You want to pick your see
1:17:44
yourself as disempowered and and in the context that keeps you
1:17:48
stuck and trapped in your mindset, in your heart.
1:17:52
Or you want to get your strength back and and take that illness
1:17:55
and move it forward. Before yes.
1:17:57
And and make a difference in that no one, no one escapes it.
1:18:00
No one escapes it. Cancer, whatever, whatever that
1:18:03
is, no one escapes that. So it's how we, it's how do we
1:18:07
talk about it, how we, how we talk from it.
1:18:10
And then it also how it shows up in your life.
1:18:13
If it shows up in your life in such a way where you're already
1:18:17
in a positive space and you're not allowing those things to
1:18:19
affect you, then you'll go ahead and you'll continue to fight
1:18:23
through it. But if you're already in the
1:18:24
mindset of this is too much for me, it's too, I can't bear this.
1:18:28
I don't know how to deal with this.
1:18:30
Then you're going to have that same mindset going throughout
1:18:33
those things, and even when you go through cancer, the first
1:18:35
thing they tell you is it's all about your mindset.
1:18:38
If you carry that mindset that this is all bad, I'm going to
1:18:42
die. You're going to carry that
1:18:43
throughout the whole term and then eventually you might very
1:18:47
well pass. You might die sooner than yeah,
1:18:49
sooner. Than you were too close to.
1:18:52
I had an aunt suppose they gave her six months to live.
1:18:55
She ended up carrying on for four more years before she
1:18:59
actually died. So.
1:19:00
I think it plays a huge role. Mindset.
1:19:04
Yeah, mindset. Well, you can't, you can't, you
1:19:07
can't put yourself in the place of God.
1:19:09
God got that. Your time frame from, from from
1:19:11
from birth to the end of this time when he ready for you.
1:19:14
Yeah, my mother, the same thing with her in her heart.
1:19:17
She they said she's up in there like 12 years diagnosed and she
1:19:21
lived another 12 years, you know, like.
1:19:23
So yeah, my mother said until God said it's time to beat him.
1:19:28
That's when you know, it's your time.
1:19:29
I don't listen to what man tells me no more.
1:19:31
They they're here to just say this is the prognosis.
1:19:34
Doctor said we can't promise you we're going to keep you alive
1:19:36
with you the best to make you feel comfortable because they
1:19:39
trained this at pretty much. So it's like, yeah.
1:19:44
I mean, that's what it is. So I again, you know, we're, we
1:19:46
got a, another segment coming up in about 10 minutes.
1:19:50
Big drain man. I just, I really appreciate you,
1:19:52
man. Just your stand, just your
1:19:54
relationship. You know that we've cultivated
1:19:58
being at La talk live and then, you know, you stay live over
1:20:01
there, shouts out the Veneric. Veneric is talking about he
1:20:04

1:20:23
I know, but you know, it's it's something we can, we can sit
1:20:26
down and talk to him about something.
1:20:27
You know, I missed the shock factor.
1:20:29
I talked to the I talked to shock team all the time and I
1:20:31
get to Atlanta shock, shock going good enough.
1:20:33
I talk to MO her, her family. I was like, so she's still
1:20:36
bigger than phenomena. She got a restaurant thing now,
1:20:39
phenomenal dishes to be putting on Facebook and got to be all
1:20:41
hungry and going again £100. But you know, it's like you
1:20:46
know, but like I say, I thank you.
1:20:48
Thank you for giving me more understanding.
1:20:50
If I can understand now, but I do have a few, few rich friends
1:20:53
in rich places. We need to do something to leave
1:20:56
this world. It's a way with Dre.
1:20:57
I'm I can't take all this money. I said, well, I can tell you put
1:21:00
some of that money at I can show you where you put it up.
1:21:03
Don't say you can't you be 100 men stronger, no kids and well,
1:21:06
I'm going to let the government take it.
1:21:08
No, for what if they can put in a dirty war.
1:21:10
No, we don't know. We're no more than 100 men.
1:21:12
Bring it. I I tell my uncle all the time.
1:21:14
Well, when I leave, I ain't give my kid that I want to get that
1:21:17
shit. Don't give to the other racial
1:21:19
people. Give him somebody.
1:21:21
Do some do some stuff with it, man.
1:21:22
So you know, Hey, I'm about to talk to him.
1:21:24
I'm doing something. I'm going.
1:21:25
To I'm going to play some I got some some some talks on my
1:21:28
website bigger. I'm going to play this one is
1:21:30
about 3 minutes. It's over here me educating on
1:21:33
the doing an online presentation right here.
1:21:35
I saw that this was about Tuesday show MB radio dot US
1:21:40
We're going to play some play some.
1:21:42
It says. Although in rare cases, people's
1:21:45
sickle cell trait might experience complications of
1:21:48
sickle cell disease such as pain crisis in their extreme form,
1:21:58
rare cases following conditions. So that paragraph right there is
1:22:02
again, personal to me because my left arm has ached since I was,
1:22:08
I can remember, 5 years old. But I remember talking to my mom
1:22:11
and my mom said I was like 2 years old and I would be crying
1:22:15
a lot. And at five, I was able to, you
1:22:19
know, voice that more. And I remember my arm aching at
1:22:23
night. And my grandmother would hold
1:22:25
him over the sink and run warm water over my arm.
1:22:28
And that would soothe my pain. And I would go back to sleep
1:22:32
again. In 1975, they took me to the
1:22:36
doctor and they told my parents my grandparents was growing
1:22:39
pains. He's 5.
1:22:40
Don't worry about it. I'm telling you now, I'm 50.
1:22:44
And that pain in my arm, Wow, It's 50 right there.
1:22:48
And. So.
1:22:49
I just you looking good pain. It is a pain that I, I kid you
1:22:55
not, I wish I was a Black Ken doll and I could pop it off and
1:22:59
put it on a dresser because it hurts so bad.
1:23:02
And even to this day, I still manage that pain in my arm.
1:23:07
So with the research that they're doing now, finally
1:23:13
people that have people that have met with sickle cell trait,
1:23:15
these are the common symptoms that you hear, pain, crisis,
1:23:21
fatigue. You have people who've gone
1:23:24
scuba diving, mild climbing and they've had some serious effects
1:23:30
from it. Low oxygen levels, places like
1:23:33
Denver, Co. If you're a Pittsburgh Steelers
1:23:36
fan, you may know that Ryan Park of experience.
1:23:42
So Treyxertion playing football in Denver.
1:23:45
He lost his sleeping gallbladder from that exertion and he could
1:23:49
never play in Denver, causing such a championship run for
1:23:54
sure. None the less, he could not play
1:23:57
in did ever anymore. So the largest level in the air
1:24:03
now climbing again, exercising extremely hard in military camp
1:24:09
for training with athletic competitions.
1:24:11
So again, I experienced mine in 2006.
1:24:14
I was out of military installation, working on my
1:24:17
bachelor rank and I was out I think my 17 year.
1:24:21
I had done that exam two times a year for the last previous 17
1:24:25
years. So it was like another morning
1:24:28
get up. I got a big push up, sit ups and
1:24:32
then two mile run a lot. And I remember we're trained to
1:24:36
Sprint that last in the military.
1:24:38
So I remember talking to myself and that's right next year.
1:24:43
I'm actually headed to that base tomorrow to speak.
1:24:49
This is another. This is a Part 2 of that
1:24:51
presentation that we that I did over there.
1:24:54
Do you remember studying sickle cells in biology class?
1:24:57
What's the count on? Sickle Cell Trade Prevention is
1:24:59
here to bring you awareness, education and prevention
1:25:02
conversations around the risk factors of this inherited gene.
1:25:06
Visit WDCI call flag for that condom of the sickle cell on the
1:25:09
tube. Already call flag for.
1:25:11
That I call flag for that. Man, you know what is this is
1:25:14
what the world's all about. It's just starting to start a
1:25:16
trouble and make people make people understand who you are.
1:25:19
I love causing problems. I'm a point for me training
1:25:22
problem. You know.
1:25:23
I'm I'm well with it. You know what happened was big
1:25:26
Dre, my mentor before she passed away, Phyllis, she she was like
1:25:32
for Ron, we got to do something extreme to get people's
1:25:34
attention, right? And then so we went to Vegas and
1:25:38
we did some PS as stop sickle sex.
1:25:41
Are you having sickle sex? You know, commercial PS as and
1:25:44
stuff. And so after she passed in 2920,
1:25:49
2012, I was like, so I had, I had went on Twitter and there
1:25:54
was, remember this, the Zika virus.
1:25:56
Oh. Yeah, I remember that.
1:25:57
Right. So it was a huge controversy
1:26:00
with Zika virus. So there was AI think it was
1:26:04
either Ash, somebody had put a a post up that had a Zika, a
1:26:10
condom with Zika virus written on it.
1:26:13
And then they. Had a, they had another condom
1:26:15
with a, they had a condom with a banana on it.
1:26:18
And it was talking about, it was talking about, you know, sex
1:26:20
education and it, these education need to be revamped.
1:26:24
So when I saw that on, on, on the Twitter, I was like, and I,
1:26:28
I saw this sickle cell with a condom on it.
1:26:31
And I was like, let me call my artist in Detroit.
1:26:33
So I hit up my artist in Detroit was like, Hey, can you make me
1:26:37
this diagram with the sickle cell?
1:26:39
And he made it. And so because I, I took on stop
1:26:42
sickle sex, right? And so stop, stop is the
1:26:46
awareness, sickle is the education and sex is the
1:26:50
prevention. So I've, I've started that.
1:26:53
I started that years ago, years ago.
1:26:55
But I've, I've had people that not want to work with me because
1:26:58
I've, I they've, they've that that's it stops a sex campaign
1:27:02
because of the condom. They're like, they're like, it's
1:27:04
a little sketchy. I'm like, but it's real.
1:27:07
It's a real life campaign. And so I still, I still have it.
1:27:10
I got it on. I got on a back burner.
1:27:12
But yeah, so when I, when I saw the sex education needs to be
1:27:17
revamped, I'm like, well, it's inherited.
1:27:20
And how else do you get how do you how does how else is it
1:27:23
inherited by reproduction, by people who not knowing they have
1:27:27
trade. They said 96% of the women who
1:27:30
were have had babies with sickle cell.
1:27:33
They didn't know that they were. They didn't know themselves.
1:27:36
Or the carrier. How to were in were carriers.
1:27:40
So when you look at it from that conversation, it's like where
1:27:44
where is that awareness at? Where is that information at?
1:27:47
So I'm I'm I'm blessed because like I said, the last 16 years
1:27:51
when I started, the needle has moved a lot.
1:27:54
The needle has moved a lot, but there's.
1:27:56
We need to make more, more. We need to make more and needle
1:27:59
move to the point there's still some gaps.
1:28:00
Yeah, there's still. There's still some gaps in that
1:28:03
conversation. Yeah, I'm going to go on another
1:28:05
show, talk about it too. Another show that my boy, no,
1:28:08
all you mentioned millionaire guys, you got this money is
1:28:10
Burns. And look, man, put that money
1:28:12
somewhere. Put that book donated 2 or
1:28:14
$3,000,000 for more research. Yeah.
1:28:18
Well, right now we're working on a on a on a sickle cell trait
1:28:22
conversation. So.
1:28:24
Mama Brings found it right now. That's definitely something we
1:28:28
can talk about. Yeah, for sure.
1:28:30
Yeah, matter of fact, I'll send you some information so you can
1:28:33
take a look at it, but we're waiting on the next fighter.
1:28:36
He should be here in the next few minutes.
1:28:40

1:29:02
Yeah, you want a commercial break?

1:29:47
veterans are finding their voices of that.
1:29:49
What's next. That's really one of the key
1:29:51
things is how do we find out what's next for us, right?
1:29:54
So PSA right here, the front Dozy show.
1:30:12
Hey, what's up man? How you doing?
1:30:14
Hey, did you see the game last night?
1:30:17
But did you see the shot? I lost money from that.
1:30:20
Oh man, that shot was. Old man but it.
1:30:22
Was good, yeah. What's the name?
1:30:31
Do you really want to know? I do.
1:30:37
Exhaustion, muscle spasm, Asthmatic issues, Unexpected
1:30:42
sickle cell trait type. Are you serious?
1:30:45
When I was young I found out I had sickle cell trait.
1:30:48
My mom's told me but I didn't have no knowledge of it.
1:30:50
But when I got older, I had a child and the doctor told me my
1:30:53
daughter had sickle cell trait. You know, the fact that both
1:30:56
parents have sickle cell trait, there's a 50% chance the child
1:30:59
may have the trait and 25% chance the child may have the
1:31:02
disease. And that's what's the count.
1:31:04
Do you know that 225,000,000 people in the United States have
1:31:07
sickle cell trait? 300 million people globally.
1:31:09
I didn't find out I had sickle cell trait until I was in the
1:31:11
Army 10 years. Next thing you know I had a
1:31:13
sickle cell trait exertion site. April Cell I.
1:31:17
Thought that was a black Gen. or something.
1:31:19
Nah man, the black community is number 21 out of 36,000 babies
1:31:22
are being born with sickle cell disease.
1:31:24
You could be Caucasian, Mediterranean, European.
1:31:27
You gotta wear your bloodline man.
1:31:31
There is an inherited gene in our community that has been
1:31:34
forgotten. The name is Sickle cell trait.
1:31:36

1:32:04
All right, welcome back to the Fond Duise Show on the Military
1:32:07
Broadcast radio network, MB Radio.
1:32:09
And it just so you understand what that conversation that Dre,
1:32:12
big Dre was mentioned earlier, it's called a radomyelosis.
1:32:15
You can go to www.rabdo.info. That is a real condition that I
1:32:22
experienced with my sickle cell trade, pretty much ended my
1:32:24
career with the experience of rhabdomyosis and sickle cell
1:32:28
trade exertion. And for some people, the
1:32:31
combination of the two has been fatal.
1:32:33
We've lost athletes, we've lost military personnel exercising.
1:32:38
And so that condition is real. So yeah, we, the name is, you
1:32:42
got to know, pronounce it, but it's called rhabdomyosis.
1:32:45
They say about 200,000 people a year experience rhabdo and for
1:32:49
some cases it can be fatal. Sickle cell trait is just one
1:32:52
connector to rhabdo, but you can have other red blood cell
1:32:55
conditions. You can have skeletal, muscular
1:32:57
disorders, muscle disorders, muscle genes that could trigger
1:33:01
statin medication like cholesterol medications.
1:33:04
Anything that has statin drugs mixed with it can cause rhabdo.
1:33:08
Crushing can cause rhabdo and dehydration right off the top
1:33:12
can cause rhabolosis. So it's not just sickle cell
1:33:15
trait, it's just one of playing heritage genes can be a trigger.
1:33:19
I've met people with all different types of health
1:33:21
conditions and inherited genes that experience Rabdo worst,
1:33:25
worst case in mind. I had to learn how to walk all
1:33:27
over again because they're crediting kinesis levels were in
1:33:29
the hundreds of thousands, right?
1:33:31
And so, and unfortunately, the other side of that has been
1:33:34
fatal. So again, very important
1:33:36
conversation around that. And so I'm bringing up big Dre,
1:33:39
our our guest is here. So let me bring up big Dre deck.
1:33:44
All right, Big Dre. What's happening, man?
1:33:47
Man, hey, you know that was a great Lynn.
1:33:49
But my my prayers go up my girl Lynn.
1:33:52

1:35:35
yourself to the listeners, man. Give them a little bit of
1:35:37
background of of of how you got here growing up.
1:35:40
All right, so I guess I'll start with when I started boxing 17
1:35:46
years old, like right before my senior year of college, like
1:35:52
summer going into senior year, I just I found sweet science.
1:35:57
I wanted to try boxing because I watched this anime called Hajime
1:36:02
no EPO and I was like, damn, boxing is cool.
1:36:04
I want to do that. So I found a gym, I just started
1:36:08
going and the gym owner Marco was sometimes started a really
1:36:13
like pay attention to me, have guys come in to spar me.
1:36:17
And eventually he took me to my first amateur fight, which was
1:36:20
like six months after I started training at the gym.
1:36:25
I won that fight by stoppage. Not long after we did like the
1:36:28
the Socal tournament or something and I won that.
1:36:31
I just kept winning tournaments. Like within like a year of just
1:36:36
me training, he was already taking me to spar pros.
1:36:40
We then like we won the, we won the open class Southern
1:36:47
California Golden Gloves like with like a year and a half or
1:36:51
less of like experience. Boxing eventually started going
1:36:56
to nationals, got like a national ranking.
1:37:00
Finished my amateur career in 2022 or beginning of 2023.
1:37:09
I was ranked #2 at 147 in the country ranked #2 in the.
1:37:13
Country. And I just turned pro, so I have
1:37:17
like a handful of amateur fights now.
1:37:20
Like almost like a handful of pro fights too.
1:37:23
And pro experience. I'm 10 and one for knockouts as
1:37:27
a pro fought in Saudi Arabia and the WBC Grand Prix.
1:37:32
So you're doing that thing we we think you're having to man on
1:37:36
our card man, November 7th. You're going to throw out up
1:37:39
there in in the studios and and on beach.
1:37:42
You about to show out, aren't you?
1:37:43
I know you are. Oh.
1:37:43
Yeah, yeah, I've been. I've been like working on some
1:37:46
real good stuff. You're going to see like a much
1:37:49
better, more improved version of Joey.
1:37:53
So the booty man. We will ask that question, man,
1:37:59
that question. I know all the fans out there
1:38:02
who watching. I want to know where you in the
1:38:04
heck you get the name Booty man, where they come from it?
1:38:07
Actually. Started from like elementary
1:38:13
school. I like my friends.
1:38:15
They used to just like joke around with me.
1:38:17
Oh booty man, booty master. I eventually made my Xbox
1:38:22
gamertag booty man because like just they were all calling me it
1:38:28
so I just thought it'd be. Cool.
1:38:30
So you knock him on your booty. You're not going to their booty,
1:38:31
which we doing in the rain and knock him on your booty.
1:38:34
Exactly. Eventually in the gym, like
1:38:36
everyone in the gym just started calling me that.
1:38:38
So for my last fight I just decided like, maybe I'll just go
1:38:41
with Booty Man. Everyone's saying you need a
1:38:42
nickname. Everyone in the gym calls me
1:38:44
Booty Man or like Booty or something.
1:38:47
It's always something to do with like booty, you know?
1:38:49
So, so, so Joey. Tell me.
1:38:51
Tell me. Because because we know our
1:38:53
peers can be hard on us with the teasing.
1:38:57
How? Did you?
1:38:58
How did you take that and spend that to empower you versus let
1:39:02
that defeat you as a, as a, as a nickname man?
1:39:05
I like that. I always thought it was kind of
1:39:10
funny. Like I, I never, I'm not really
1:39:11
the type of guy who'll take myself, like, too serious.
1:39:15
Yeah. I.
1:39:17
Like I I also thought to myself, like that name kind of stands
1:39:20
out. It's like no one.
1:39:22
Really. Has a name quite like it.
1:39:23
So it would help. Put more eyes on me too.
1:39:28
So yeah, I mean, that's for boxing.
1:39:30
But as far as like just growing up in general is just kind of
1:39:33
like. Normal.
1:39:34
Like it's nothing that ever really bothered me that much.
1:39:38
Yeah, well, the question I got is I want to know.
1:39:41
We asked Aaron earlier. He's gonna be on the same note,
1:39:44
down the same car with you on on November 7th.
1:39:46
Aaron Whitehurst, how did you meet Mr. Jeff Davis, Promoter,
1:39:50
He a great guy. I'm the president of box
1:39:52
operations. I make sure you guys are you
1:39:54
have your needs wanted. And how did you meet Mr. Davis?
1:39:58
I met him through my manager Marco.
1:40:01
He's also the owner of the gym I train at.
1:40:04
I started training like with Marco in 2017 when I started
1:40:08
boxing. Been with him ever since.
1:40:10
And I just recently met Jeff in person for the first time at my
1:40:14
gym Suite Science. And it was just Marco introduced
1:40:17
the two of us. Marco got us on the card.
1:40:21
So that's. I'm looking for I'm looking for
1:40:24
it, man, I'm looking for it. I'm looking forward to the booty
1:40:26
man puts my on their booty at night.
1:40:28
And you know, I think you have a bunch of fan base of women too
1:40:32
and say, well, he must got a cute booty.
1:40:34
Girls were asking questions. You have that female base now.
1:40:38
I actually went the same question I asked caring about if
1:40:42
you put yourself back 10 years and fight some of the the
1:40:46
greatest, you know, super welterweight division.
1:40:47
I was like crazy welterweight division back 20 years ago,
1:40:50
junior. Welterweight.
1:40:51
Junior welterweight. Yeah, junior welterweight.
1:40:52
I'm saying now, one step upset going to next level.
1:40:56
Who would you think you'd be fighting at that super
1:40:58
welterweight 10 to 15 years back if you was back in the rankings?
1:41:02
Who would you want to fight? Your top.
1:41:03
Your Fab 4. 10 years back, Mayweather was fighting. 10
1:41:09
years ago, huh? Yeah, a lot of.
1:41:11
He was fighting at welterweight. So yeah, I, I think him and
1:41:15
Pacquiao, like, I, I always really looked up to Pacquiao
1:41:18
when I first started training. I always like, just really
1:41:21
admired him. But I think both Mayweather and
1:41:25
Pacquiao, like, I really like what Mayweather does, too.
1:41:28
I think those are like the two main fights from people who were
1:41:32
like active 10 years ago. And I think those are like the
1:41:35
two. Like talk guys.
1:41:37
Or I think they were coming. Who?
1:41:38
Who do you see? Well, who do you see yourself,
1:41:41
your fight style? You have your own set of fight
1:41:43
style. Who do you see yourself
1:41:44
fighting? There's so many legends out
1:41:45
there back then, then and now. Who do you see?
1:41:47
Yourself maybe. But you, I'm not saying you
1:41:50
trying to copycat, but who do you see yourself in your ring,
1:41:53
Some of your favoritism, some of your movements of a sweet
1:41:55
science. The name of being boxing is a
1:41:57
science. You know, the game thing is a
1:42:00
science. Yeah, my coach Jamal always told
1:42:04
me that. I remind him of Salvador
1:42:06
Sanchez. Oh man, he went wild.
1:42:12
He went back in Georgia. I was one of the old man Savileo
1:42:17
Sanchez. That's a that's a name directed
1:42:19
with that's a good that's a good person to to follow and be a
1:42:22
mentor. Every turn around shout out to
1:42:24
the late great, you know so, but you know, God is so good that
1:42:29
what makes you like like he was saying earlier, like for all I
1:42:33
was saying earlier as Whitehurst, what makes your the
1:42:36
spiritual part of you keeps you motivated and what makes you
1:42:39
drive to be the best you can be in boxing, because it's so
1:42:42
difficult with in mindset. The thing is when I like, I'm a
1:42:50
completely different person now, like now compared to who I was
1:42:55
like when I first started boxing.
1:42:57
Boxing has changed. Boxing is like helped me grow so
1:43:04
much as a person and it's actually like really helped me
1:43:09
feel more connected to God, helped me.
1:43:11
Like it's taught me how to really find peace within myself
1:43:18
and it's really just made me like it's helped me become a
1:43:21
much better person. It's taught me how to, it's how
1:43:25
to really value family and just like other more simple things in
1:43:30
life, boxing has like given me such a healthy perspective and
1:43:35
outlook on life going forward. And that in itself just
1:43:41
motivates me to want to take boxing as far as I can.
1:43:48
So I would just say like that's the biggest thing is just seeing
1:43:54
what boxing has already done for me and how it continues to help
1:44:01
me grow and mature as a person. Yeah, give me some give me some
1:44:07
mental toughness. You know what, what, what do you
1:44:10
equate or who do you equate that mental toughness developing and
1:44:13
you know, around boxing or around sports, athletics, What
1:44:17
do you, what do you get that your environment, your parents,
1:44:19
your family, who, who, who inspired that or who the.
1:44:22
The mental toughness, I mean, this is gonna sound crazy, so
1:44:29
no. I do.
1:44:30
I always grew up. Playing a lot of sports and I
1:44:33
was always a pretty athletic kid, but I never really had that
1:44:37
work ethic and Dr. nor that real understanding.
1:44:41
And it wasn't until I started watching anime and I saw how how
1:44:47
like these guys approach like I watched a lot of sports animes
1:44:51
like a baseball one too, and then even just other like shown
1:44:54
in animes like one piece and stuff.
1:44:56
I, I just like, I learned a lot from how how they approach
1:44:59
situations, how they handle hardships, like the resilience
1:45:04
and the work ethic. And I was like, wow, you know,
1:45:07
like if I, if I could do, if I can like use that same approach
1:45:14
to whatever I do in life, like what, what can I do?
1:45:19
And I always wanted to be a pro athlete growing up.
1:45:21
That was always like a dream of mine, but I never really
1:45:25
understood the work required to like make it happen.
1:45:31
And so I kind of saw boxing as as my last chance to be cut,
1:45:37
like makes like do something with a sport and become a pro
1:45:40
athlete. So boxing was like the first
1:45:44
sport. I really applied that anime
1:45:46
style work ethic and obviously throughout the last like 10
1:45:50
years or so, I've learned a lot about like work ethic and how to
1:45:57
maximize overall progress and like gains and all that stuff.
1:46:01
I. Just.
1:46:02
Learned a lot, made a lot of mistakes, but I think like
1:46:05
really the the initial mental toughness, work ethic, it really
1:46:09
came from anime. Like I, I learned a lot.
1:46:12
From hey, look, look, I I wouldn't take action if you've
1:46:15
ever watched inside out inside out the movie, man, if people
1:46:19
set aside the cartoonish around that movie and look at the
1:46:23
principles of that little girl and what she's, you know, how
1:46:26
her brain develops. We would learn a lot about how
1:46:28
our minds are developed. And so it's nothing wrong with
1:46:31
getting that from an anime. If that's what you caught that
1:46:34
and that spoke to you to empower you and to give you that level
1:46:38
of self esteem or self worth or self.
1:46:41
It doesn't matter where it comes from because that's that's they
1:46:44
write those characters for a reason, right?
1:46:47
They're. Just animated.
1:46:48
There's, there's stories and those that's it's the first and
1:46:50
you apply that to real life. Like I said, with the inside
1:46:53
out, you understood how much anxiety and joy and and sadness
1:46:57
plays a part of your emotional state.
1:46:59
You would want to get a hold of those conversations and you
1:47:02
would want to how do I develop my emotions?
1:47:04
How do I develop? That I.
1:47:06
Appreciate you. It's, it's not wild.
1:47:07
It's it's just whatever. That was what God allowed.
1:47:10
You to see to say, hey, this is what this is what this looks
1:47:14
like. Oh, and now you got it from an
1:47:15
anime. That's that's there's nothing
1:47:17
wrong with that. So I appreciate that I'm a music
1:47:19
guy. So my mom also used to like tell
1:47:23
me all the time, like, oh, Joey, like you whenever you try at
1:47:28
anything, you're good at anything you try at, but you
1:47:31
just, you just don't care about anything.
1:47:33
So that's why like. That's why you get bad grades.
1:47:36
That's. What I mean like whenever you
1:47:37
I'm, I'm going to be you. Can do anything and like
1:47:40
especially when I first got into boxing, like I really believed
1:47:43
that. I really believed that
1:47:44
throughout the whole course of my life that like oh, anything I
1:47:47
try at I could be good at. And I took that with me in
1:47:49
boxing. I was like, this is something I
1:47:51
want to do and this is something I want to try at.
1:47:54
So like, I just believed in myself with that too.
1:47:58
Yeah, What do you listen to in your headphones?
1:48:02
Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry.
1:48:03
Go ahead. I'm a music guy, So what are you
1:48:04
listening to your headphones when you're working out?
1:48:06
Man, what's going? House music, a lot of house
1:48:09
music sets. I like the rhythm.
1:48:11
I like to dance to house music too.
1:48:14
But when it comes to training, a lot of house music.
1:48:17
Lot of house. I'm actually a mentally tough
1:48:20
question to come to losses. That one loss you got, you lost.
1:48:24
What went through your mindset after that that that first loss
1:48:26
you got? Fuck, like after, I mean after
1:48:32
the fight initially after I like right after I remember opening
1:48:36
my phone and seeing all these like messages, messages like
1:48:40
good positive support. And I just broke down and cried
1:48:43
for a little bit. After that I just kind of like
1:48:47
got my shit together, flew back home.
1:48:51
The the flight home was tough just because I didn't get any
1:48:55
sleep. Like right after the the fight,
1:48:58
we got transported to the hotel. My coach and I, we got the
1:49:02
chance to walk around a little bit, grab some food, and from
1:49:05
there we took the shuttle to the airport and flew back.
1:49:09
And it was late at night. Even just the entire time out
1:49:11
there, I didn't get a chance to really get like a full night's
1:49:15
rest. But it it took some time for me
1:49:20
to process everything. I didn't really feel discouraged
1:49:25
in any way. After.
1:49:27
The loss, it was more so just processing what happened where
1:49:34
like the mistakes I made and what I need to do to fix them
1:49:38
going forward and like what I can do to become better in the
1:49:43
future. So it was.
1:49:45
A big thing just. Focus on what I need to do next
1:49:48
to become better so I don't let something like that happen again
1:49:52
because I still to this day, I feel like I I won that fight at
1:49:58
least by split decision, at the least a draw.
1:50:02
But you know, it. It's boxing the judges like he
1:50:08
was doing better. There's nothing you can really
1:50:10
do about it. Yeah.
1:50:12
I I were you in his hometown? Were you?
1:50:14
Were you in his hometown when it happened?
1:50:16
It it, it was in Saudi Arabia for the Grand Prix.
1:50:21
So like we, we were, we were, we both flew out.
1:50:24
He was from Mexico. He, I only had like 6 pro
1:50:27
fights. He had like 18 pro fights at the
1:50:30
time. He, he was like, he was favored
1:50:33
to win the fight. He was like, if you know, like
1:50:37
the A side B side, he was on the the A side of it.
1:50:40
But I didn't. I also didn't know who I was
1:50:44
fighting until the. Yeah, one of those, one of
1:50:47
those. And it was everyone from just.
1:50:50
All different countries. Wow.
1:50:53
Coming in and it was all like good up and coming guys with
1:50:56
like good records, undefeated guys and this guy happened to be
1:51:01
like the one guy with the the most fights in the tournament.
1:51:04
I got matched up with him the day before and I just I studied
1:51:08
like the footage I found of him and just went.
1:51:11
In there and. Just did what I was trying to
1:51:13
do. Yeah, and, and sometimes it
1:51:15
seems to happen, though that I was.
1:51:17
I know you know who James likes how Tony is a good friend of
1:51:19
mine, mentor. A friend of mine.
1:51:21
James told me. Yeah, when you put a person in
1:51:23
the ring 24 hours for your time, it's so hard to mentor toughness
1:51:29
of trying to figure out who this fighter is his style, where he
1:51:33
he's moving in 24 hours, nothing but for you to think you got to
1:51:36
draw. And I'm going to look at that
1:51:37
fight and see I, I believe my, my, my heart.
1:51:40
I can talk to you now. You probably did win that fight.
1:51:43
But you know, of course you can't make a A side guy look bad
1:51:46
when they come to the B side guy and give him hell and they'll
1:51:49
take him to deep water. They'll be like, how's it dude?
1:51:51
6 and O and you 18 and one or whatever, 18 and O and you can't
1:51:55
get a deep, you know, and then go in the distance.
1:51:56
That shouldn't be happening. So I understand how you feel.
1:51:59
They've been an underdog. I've been an underdog almost
1:52:01
almost all my life. Every sport I've played, but
1:52:04
I've always proved them wrong and I kept moving and doing
1:52:07
things. But come November 7th as the

1:52:57

1:53:07
me. So I'm like really excited.
1:53:09
I've been really focused on this one.
1:53:13
It's been a while since I fought because my last one in May I, I
1:53:17
fractured my hand. So I was out for a little bit.
1:53:19
But ever since I've been like cleared and back, I've been in
1:53:23
the gym like really. And even during my time off, I
1:53:26
spent a lot of time thinking about what I need to do to get
1:53:29
better as a fighter, how I can get stronger, faster, like
1:53:33
smarter, all that. So I've, I just been feeling
1:53:37
really good about this one. I'm really excited to showcase
1:53:41
my skills and what I've been working on in the gym.
1:53:44
OK, good. So yeah, I heard it first here
1:53:47
by Joey the booty man about let me tell you something that so
1:53:51
intro I I saw a couple of your fights.
1:53:53
I I researched your fight. You your style reminds me also
1:53:57
of Camacho. Heck, Camacho.
1:53:59
I don't know why he remind me Camacho much and he's won the
1:54:02
baddest round in the game before it was with division.
1:54:05
He remind me style like his also very aggressive.
1:54:08
You got a good right hand and I think if people don't come see
1:54:12
you and buy them tickets at at no@nosafecorner.com, they're
1:54:16
going to miss out on the great, great even fight they're going.
1:54:18
They're going to miss out seeing an incredible champion in the
1:54:21
future. I already see that.
1:54:23
Exactly. Anything.
1:54:25
So remember folks. Yeah, anything you want to say,
1:54:28
Joy, before we let you go, man, If I miss anything, if any,
1:54:30
shout out. If you want to shout out.
1:54:31
How's your camp? Talk about your camp.
1:54:33
What's up with your? Camp.
1:54:33
Oh yeah, Joe the camp. Yeah, man.
1:54:34
Tell me the camp, man. I'm about to.
1:54:36
Camp Camp has been good like just recently like as of this
1:54:41
week, it's my life is just boxing and I'm doing I'm doing
1:54:46
EMT school. So it's just boxing and.
1:54:47
Studying, Yeah. Before that.
1:54:53
Yeah, but camp's been going well.
1:54:56
Like, I sparred today, felt great.
1:55:00
After this, I'm going to go for a run.
1:55:02
I'm just, you know, living camp life, having a good time.
1:55:07
That's the best life cap life. Now that's a question I want to
1:55:11
ask too. Also, when it comes to the the
1:55:14
day of the way, now, what goes through your mind the day of the
1:55:16
way in, you know, you got to make that way.
1:55:18
What goes through your mind get after when you make that way,
1:55:21
your fighters going on an eating frenzy.
1:55:23
They try to take all of us. When they get on that, that
1:55:25
fight, you know, the night before they really go, they come
1:55:28
in that one, come in that 140, No 40.
1:55:30
Then you come out like 150 come out.
1:55:31
You have to fight. Yeah.
1:55:34
So what? Go to your mind.
1:55:37
For me, like, like my mentality is that the weight cuts not over
1:55:42
until the fights over. And what I mean by that is after
1:55:45
I step on the scale, there's still a very disciplined way of
1:55:51
how I have to approach the the rehydration and refuel process.
1:55:55
So I don't, I don't really go crazy.
1:55:58
I just, I just take all the, I just do what I need to do to
1:56:08
like rehydrate and refuel in, in the healthiest way possible.
1:56:11
I'm very precise with like how much I eat, how much I drink,
1:56:16
the timing of it, all the like, like within like like the hours
1:56:23
and just every, everything. I I'm like very calculated with
1:56:27
how, how I rehydrate and I just for me, I don't the wait
1:56:31
insurance not over until or the the weight cuts not done until
1:56:34
the fight is done or until I'm like I get there on Fight Night
1:56:38
and I start warming up and then it's like time to fight.
1:56:41
Yeah, yeah. So asking that, asking that that
1:56:43
mean question of of ferocious question.
1:56:46
What goes through your mind when you're putting them?
1:56:48
You're getting tape, you're getting inspected by the, you
1:56:49
know, by the Commission expecting you're OK Now what's
1:56:52
in your mind next? Next thing you've been getting
1:56:53
that ringing about 1520 minutes as long as 15 minutes left
1:56:56
hitting them at paths. Get yourself warmed up.
1:56:58
What's going through your mind? Yeah.
1:57:01
Does that. Does that character click over?
1:57:03
I, I don't really think too much.
1:57:06
I just kind of like get myself in the right mood to, to go out
1:57:10
there. I just kind of like just really
1:57:14
just warming up and getting myself ready.
1:57:16
I kind of like get myself kind of excited and just locked in
1:57:20
ready to go. I I try not to think of like
1:57:22
anything else outside that, just kind.
1:57:25
Of like. Think about what needs to be
1:57:27
done in there, practice it, warm my body up and just kind of go
1:57:33
