• 1:00
  Speaker 1: still so down South Texas. Oh yeah, I think so. Yeah.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they mean my second coming book.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I'm honored to be on that cover, you know, recognized
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in a world that I cherished so much, you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: art and creativity and style. That's really cool, really cool.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: You feel like they'd be trying to interrogate you when
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: they have those like conversations with you for those covers,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: like they really want to get into mind about to do.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they'd be trying to do. I'm
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in penetrable when it comes to that kind of thing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I usually got the conversation to, you know, talk about
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the things that I think the people should should hear. Yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I got a chance to see you outside the country
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you were. We were staying at the same resort hotel
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and got a chance to see you perform as she
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: was performed. But she was performing and you know, people,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say people, but I forgot how many
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: hits and records that you had, really, like the amount
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of time you were on that stow Oh come on
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you can yeah, absolutely, okay, people would you do it there?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I think so. I don't know they ready for that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I can see those headlines. They'll they'll act like you've
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: cast a spell on America. They but the fact the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: fact that you had young things in there all the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: way to that thing. We had it was like sixty
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: five year olds and everybody the music transcend a you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: have a surprise with the demographic of fans that you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: have because it was young twenty one year olds that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: knew every words, and then it was sixty five year olds.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I think I think that the people our age and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: older resonate with the music, and the people who are younger,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: like who must age group, the eighteen to thirty, they
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: resonate with the words with because that's I think that's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: where we are right now as a culture moving forward
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and our spiritual understanding. So I've been waiting for them
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to grow up. You've been waiting waiting for a minute,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: tell somebody duck to no. That makes so much sense
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: when you hear a lot of these youngsters talk the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: spiritual journeys that they're on. You created the soundtrack for
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that years ago. Somewhat yes, I think so. And now
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you're so fashion forward. How much luggage do you have
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to carry when you're on the road between the hats
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: people through the jewelry? You have something like I'm like,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: how does she carry all that clean and shield cattle,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: gold trunks, concubines, fans have everything walking through the airport,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and you feel like you have to show up for
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: every show like people expect this. You can't just come
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: with them. But you know what, there's something people have
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to know about why I have all of these bags.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I have the bags because generally people have a makeup
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: artist and the hairstylist and wardrobe costume. I do all
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of that myself on the road, so I carried each
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: production with me. So if you see me and I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: have all that stuff, it's just for a reason. You know.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I've seen you pulled up and it was like Ericabaud, dudes,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: truck is head the cars. I was like, all right,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: let me go out and meet her. And when it opened,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it was just bags. I wasn't one of the bags.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: She told BA in the next one out like goodness, Grace,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of bags. How did it feel after
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: twenty five years or how it felt like twenty five
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: years in this game kind of I don't really have
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a great conception of time, as you all know, uh
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: kind of disorder. I could say, now I'm gonna be
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: fifty two on my birthday. WHOA, So I could say that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I would never guess that. Yeah, I could thank you.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I know I looked like a child. Yes you don't.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You know, you see the pictures of you in pullment,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: But when y'all see, I'm like, y'all could be we could,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know. But at fifty two, now
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I see how fast it went. And when you get
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to be like fifty two, we were past middle age,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: because where do we live to eighty ninety, we were
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: middle age of forty. So when you get to about
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: fifty two, it's kind of like it didn't really go
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that fast. So you don't want to really waste time
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: on the things that you had to because you don't
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: have to anymore. So it should be smooth selling from here. Yeah,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you know, you know who's a fun boy and a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: fun girl? You kind of like play the cards like that. Yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: When I look at people like you and Queen of Fool,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I just like you can't even say how old are you? Really?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Do have to say? So how o? How young are y'all? Yeah? Yeah,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Queen the Fool is amazing? Oh yeah yeah yes. And
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I think about your music and I feel like you've
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: been prophecying so many things that we are currently witnessing.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Do you ever look around sometimes say I knew it
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that was right all alone. Yeah, I knew That's why

• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I just do things me things, you know, so I
• 8:26

• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the SONGA they tell you that you you enjoy the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: song numerous times to day? What is it about the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: song of that day? Uh? That heat really um warms
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: up the organs and the seals and the toxins as

  Speaker 1: you know, you know, come out in the in the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: sweat h then go right into the shower, go back.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just a detoxic detoxing all the time. Yeah,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: You've always showing like so much confidence, so much poise,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: so much scrimp. And I love when you say you
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: did you say screen you from the South Carolina? Okay,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: but you talk about looking in the mirror has there
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: ever been a time ever when you look in the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: mirror and didn't like what you saw? If I did
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: something that was not not good, you know, or I'm
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: hard on myself. So even if I think something about
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: somebody that ain't cool, I'd be feeling guilty. Yeah, so
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: yeah I have. Yeah, looked like that's not cool. You said,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: if you think about something negative about somebody, you feel guilty.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I think they can probably feel that at some point.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You know, energy is transferable. Yeah, Now what when people
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: reach out to you to be a dueler, how do
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you decide if you're gonna do it or not? It's
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that based off for energy, based off if you know somebody,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: how do you decide? Yeah, because I'm sure a lot
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of people reach out. It's you know, knowing people and
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and you know, meeting somebody. You said, it's exactly right.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Conversation and what's going on and when you become a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: due a lot how hands on America? Some time between
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: these questions, you should be feeling things through. You know
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: what I mean, he's excited. I feel like we're cutting
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: off the thoughts. You gotta let her just sorry. Yeah,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: it's all right, It's so good he can probably finish
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the sentences. You know this point I was asking when
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: it comes to being a duelot, how hands on all
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you because you know, sometimes you know it might be
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: in a different state, a different area, of different zones.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: So my duelers services start from the beginning of the pregnancy,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe the third month, and we go through
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: a nutrition plan, meditation. If there's something that needs to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: be smoothed out in the relationship, if they want to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: share that, we do that. The fathers are also pregnant,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: so I talk to them and little counsel and we
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you know, build altras together or whatever it is that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and needs, and we build a birthing plan, we start
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the exercise regimen um, just whatever we need to do
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to clear out the way for those babies, because my
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: contract is really with the babies for them to come
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: through and the parents being harmony, and the room be
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the way that the parents wanted to be, just everything.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: It's a really important ceremony. So maybe one of the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: biggest rituals you know that will have besides going the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: other direction, now do that too, that's a duela the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: other direction. Yes, I didn't know the same thing you are,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: especially during the hospice you are gathering family members that
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: they haven't seen. You're making sure that they are happy,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: eating or drinking or reading their favorite things, listen to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Richard Pryde, whatever is they want to do, praying in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: depending on what they believe. And because no one knows
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: really where these beings came from or where they're going.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: But it's important to me that the breasts are easy
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: during the transition. You're breathing easy, the room is easy,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you know, so that you can be prepared for the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: next day. M M. When you said the daddy's pregnant,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? Like, there's an invisible and biblical
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: core connection that I find generally between the wife and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the husband or the mates. He gains weight, he gets moody,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: he starts to change, he starts crave. Other things could
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: be other women, could be freedom. It's just everything changes.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: So everybody's going through this process, and I find it
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: comforting to have someone that understands what you're going through
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to help you make the right decisions during that periods man,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: when you when you do the doers for the transition,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: what kind of energy is exchanged in the room. You
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: think between you and that person if any a lot.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe Usually I'm trying to be like water, like like
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Bruce Lee says, you know, once I get everything the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: way it should be, I'm in a corner like waiting
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to see what the next thing is. And sometimes I'm
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: at the forefront when the person doesn't really have a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: lot of family. We're reading, we're reading, we're watching their
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: favorite show, We're watching Steve Harvey, we're laughing. Where massaging
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the feet, I'm combing the hair, braiding the hair, sometimes
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: brushing the teeth if they can't do that. Sometimes you
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: get to a point where you can't swallow. So I'm
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: walking them through a breathing ritual that makes it more
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: comfortable for them. You know, how difficult is that for you?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Not very difficult for me. And that's why I decided
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to be the welcoming committee in the ushering committee, because
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the first time I did it was with Stickman's first child,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: him and has made a feel I was. I was
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: just friends with them, and I happened to be at
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: her birth and that's when I kind of knew okay,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: because I had just had seven a year before, and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I just kind of knew I could I can do this.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: This is something you know, and I'm always looking for
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to be of service in some kind of way. So
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that's when I started studying and taking it to the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: next level. Yeah, channeling information and things like that. I
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: feel like you've been doing that. That's why I even
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: talking about your music when I said the thing about
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: how you've always been prophecying things, channeling, Yeah, channeling downloads. Yeah,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that's how most things come to me. That did that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: hinder you when you were younger, because I'm sure that
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you saw things other people couldn't see. Yeah, definitely. You know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the energy is so great sometimes in numbers when people
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: don't really understand or could be intimidated by you, or
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: any of those things, envious of you. Even sometimes the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: energy is too big. When there's a lot of people,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I can handle one or two, but when it's a lot,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: maybe the energy gets a little big. So as a child,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: it made me dim my lights or pretend that I
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: was like everybody else, you know, to make it easier
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: for me when you start sharing your gifts. I always did,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: but around groups of people it's easier to it's kind
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: of blend in a little. I don't find that a
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: bad thing to do, especially if you're aware. Yeah, importance
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: of family, you know, one thing. Dealing with all these
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: artists and meeting all these artists, you see who's close
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: with their family. Then you see who's really close with
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: their family, right, And I've seen you around your sister,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: your daughter, your mother, your whole family. Important is that
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: because you seem like you have them around a lot.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: That's what I do it for. I do all this
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: for them. I don't really need nothing. I just like
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: collecting shit. You know. It's for them, you know, And
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: they would do it for me, each of them, you know.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: So we all travel together. We've been all working together
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: for the last twenty six years. My grandmothers were my
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: accountant and publicist at a point they passed on. Now
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: my mom was the governess of my house, the caregiver
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: for my children. My sister sang back up with me
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: for ten years and now she is my partner, my company.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: My best friend out there called Chris, we've been friends
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: since we were in high school. He is my partner
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and my merch company. Yeah, it's just so big, Mike,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you know. We just I keep the same people because
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it's easy, you know, We trust each other and they
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: look out for me if I'm doing something. It's good
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to have like an asshole checker and your family. Your
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: family is not scared of you, you know, So who's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the asshole check out at everybody? You name? My mom? Yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: she quickly, no, that's not it. Yeah. Do you listen
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: when she usually does? H take some time. Sometimes some
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: push back depends on, you know, if I haven't got
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: it yet what she's saying. She's usually always right. I love.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I love to quote about your mom. My mother was
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: an improvement on her mother's design. Right. I'm sure pooma
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: is an improvement on Yeah, her mother's designed as well. Yeah.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I think what I see in a lot of parents
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: mother daughter relationships is the mother doesn't realize that you
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: still have the opportunity to You're still growing. It's not
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: over for you. If you have a daughter, you still
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: have to keep going and the things that you know
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you didn't learn before you will get to learn them
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: through your kid. And that's how I see it going.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes when you don't know that, it makes
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it difficult for both people because when the roles aren't
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: really played to the best that they can be played.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Then that's when conflict arises to me. Now you also
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: you got your own line of cannabis coming out with Burner. Yes,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: how did you and burn a hook up? And how
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: did that come about? I believe Burne reached out years
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: ago and I just wasn't ready to do that yet.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: But we reached reached back out, and I said, I
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: think it's cool, it's time to do that. And I
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: noticed that there was no area in the cannabinoid world
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: where women were being focused on. So my focused in
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: cannabinois is women's these in the body and childbirths, in meditation,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and religious studies and spirituality, casually, mothers, everyday people and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: um building a product line around their needs. Uh yeah?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Is it just is it flower? Is it? Is it edibles?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Is it? What? Is it? Little everything? Flower, edibles, creams, sprays. Um.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: We also do a mushroom mushroom teas, a daytime tea,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and a nighttime psychedelicit need some of that. So I've
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: never had a much room in my life. So break
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: down the feeling of the psychedelic because I know that
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that some people that have never experienced that
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: as well. It might be a little different for everybody,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: but for me, um, it's it's ritual work for me.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I never do it like it's in a group hanging
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: out with people. It's something that I do alone. I
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: do that in my long time and with the mushrooms
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: that plant medicine pretty much allows you to see the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: things that you block out. You know, the traumas that
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you've blocked out come to the surface and you're able
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: to see them. That's not necessarily a solution based medicine,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: but it is definitely a five D look at yourself completely.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Some people would say why, Like, why do I want
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: that trauma and full face? If I'm trying to run
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: from it, why do I want it? I don't want
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to face to run from. Well, that means that you
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: don't want that right now, you know. I think plant
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: medicine finds people. You know, it finds people, It finds you.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: You know, you've heard about it, you're read about it,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and you keep seeing it. Then there you go. Maybe
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: that's how I feel about a wash. Yeah, for whatever reason,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I keep running from shrooms. Yeah, but UACA I want
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I'm all in. I've been talking to a shaman like
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do it and I feel like I
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: got to do it this year. Yes, I understand that
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: because mushrooms is generally not a shaman based thing. You know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the heroic dose of a five ground mushroom and take
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: kind of takes you to a place where ayahuasca does.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: You know, it releases the same amount of DMT. So.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: But what I like about what you're saying, the guided
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: shaman meditation kind of gives you these guardrails if you've
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: never done anything like that before, because it can be shocking,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: it can be sad. But what I've learned is when
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I do ayahuasca, it's different for everybody. But I found
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: myself in these rooms envy Like you were talking about,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: why do I want to go down this rabbit hole? Well,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I found myself in these rooms. And I also find
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: myself able to open my eyes and I don't have
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: to stay there. That's the least for me, and I
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: take it in everyday life. When I get these thoughts
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm able to now discriminate between the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: thoughts that are gonna take me to this place and don't.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: And because of the experience I had with they call
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Grandma Ayawaska grandmother with grandmother who told me, well, you
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: don't have to stay in the room. You know, you
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: bought up in the corner, in the open your eyes.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Get out of that room. Yeah. So I take that
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: with me through life now and people get different things.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: That's what I got, you know, from my experiences, discriminating
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: between thoughts that evolve you and thoughts that do not.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Every everybody I know that's done it. The one constant
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I hear is they all say they saw God in
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: some way, shape or form, like I know, like my
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: man Neil Brennan was an atheist, did not believe in
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: God at all. He said he did Ayawaska and he
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: said he saw God. And they all describe it as
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: he's a light or a feminine energy grandmother. That's what
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: they call it. Um. It is like your highest self
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and protector. It's what it feels like. It's like one thing,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: like a being that you can trust more than anyone.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: And I would describe that as God too, you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: none judgmental. Yeah, and don't help you, you know, when
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: you're going through these hard things during the ceremony, there's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: no help. You know, you gotta man up, you know,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: you gotta see what you're made of during these times,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and I think that is what God is all about
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to me too, So I create. I'm not clarivoyant like that.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I don't see things, but I definitely feel feel them.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Really yeah, I feel like I feel like we can
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: visibly see your third high mine. You might can see it,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: but I don't visibly see any I just feel feel things.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: My claris are Claire Audience and Claracentiens. You know, feelings
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and thoughts and words. But seeing stuff. I don't see that.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, I get but you feel it though, I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: do feel it. Got got you? Yeah. How many times
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: have you have you done? I've had four ceremonies, five ceremonies,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: all in the same place, different places, different places. I
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: wanted to do it in this indigenous place. So South
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: America is where I go to do it South Polo.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Like when I have a show there, then I make
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: sure that I make time for the healing work. How
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: long does it take? What's the processing eight hour journey? Really,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I can't wait, I really can't. I can't wait for you.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I can't. It's gonna help definitely instant. I still feel
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: some of the effects from uh an ayahuasca ceremony I've
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: done two years ago or something. You still getting downloads
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: of Oh that's what it, man, that's why I saw
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: this person or if that's why I feel that person. Yeah.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: How often do you share that information with the public.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I've never This is the first time. Wow, I'm not
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: talking about information of you doing it, but the information
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you to download you get from doing it rarely because
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: it's it's a personal thing. But if it's helpful, I
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: will share it definitely. I think I'm more vocal now
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: about this world, this five D world right now than
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: ever because I think that everyone is receptive to it,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: you know. So I feel, you know, more comfortable talking
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: about it, you think because everybody everybody feels that we
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: can we're fully aware something else is going on, Like
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: this is all a mirage. There's something else after this.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like during COVID and after COVID,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: it's like the curtain got pulled back. Yeah, well that
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: COVID was part of that, part of that thing. They
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: say that we're moving into the Age of Aquarius from
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the Age of Pisces, and the Age of Pisces was
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the age of according to the theory of astronomy, the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: age of I believe now we're moving into the age
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: of I know, which is so Technology's the age of
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: technology where you don't have to guess, you can see
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the matrix, you can get downloads of things really quickly.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: So we've moved into that age together, and our children
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: were born in this age. So yes, we're in a
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: different time, different place. How much do you think technology
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: helps it hurts because you use technology? Yeah, definitely, an
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: analog girl in a digital world gotta use. How much
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: do I think it helps helps it hurts? I don't know.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I see it is like I see any other entity
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: or person. There's good and bad in it, and you
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: use it. You know, how you use it determines whether
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it's good or that. Yeah, because I feel like they
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: can take things that are just pure and turn it
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: into something else, Like I saw that when you and
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Puma posted y'all picture together. Yeah, we just have fun
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: all the time. And Puma's collaboring with a pants brand,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: really cute pants brand. We do this all the time.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, people just you know, I think
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: people just kind of don't have enough to do, you
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, have enough shit to do, But
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't stop doing the shit you're doing
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: to interrupted shit I'm doing. You know, you don't have
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: enough to do. And that's how I look at it.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: But it's okay, it's good. It's and we count on it.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: You know, it helps us sell the product. You know,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: it's free publicity. How do you deal with Puma dating?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: If she's dating, how do you deal with that? How
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: do you deal with that? I really like her mate, Okay,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I think she she's on point. Like said, she's an
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: improvement on my design. I wasn't as mature. I didn't
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: have my boundaries in place the way she does. I
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: think they're good. I think she's cool. I think her
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: father's also thinks that the brother is a really good guy.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: So I she's good. You know, she has so much
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: to do, and I think each step of the way
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: she's making sure that she's paying attention. Yeah, she's a
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: She's definitely an improvement on my design, for sure. I
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: was gonna ask, you know, what, how did you move
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: around a pandemic meeting? They wanted everybody to do certain
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: requirements to get in certain buildings, And I know how
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you are about your herbs and what you drink and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: what you put in your body. So and then you
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: look now a couple of years later, you see so
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: many problems with people, right, people having heart attacks like crazy,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: people are passing away like crazy, and nobody knows to
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the reason why. So how did you move around during
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the pandemic. I really didn't go too many places, you know,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I am the first social distances it was. It was
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: based on my council, but yeah, I don't really go
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: places and stuff anyway. So it was beautiful to me.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: And when I would go somewhere, I would forget that,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Oh we have to wear a mask. We're in this world,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: because I usually be in my world, you know, I
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: created a world inside of my my space, and it's
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: just always been that way for me. So they move around.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: To do you stay away from people because you are
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: such a sponge for energy, like because you feel so much?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Probably probably I'm figuring that out. Why I do that?
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Even not like why I stay away? Yeah, I'm saying
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: you're still figuring it out. Why? Yeah, m hmm, Yeah,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's more. You know, I've peeled back a
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: couple of layers, some more layers to pep man Yeah,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I can't ever imagine the time where Erica Bardou did
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: not know who she was. I do know who I am.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: That's why I know. I don't know things or the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: man that knows something knows nothing knows that he knows that.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: That's how I only know. Mhmm. Yeah, So I just
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I know I didn't know ship then. Yeah, did you
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: always know you'm the healing? I'm sorry, yes, yes, kind
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: of kind of sort of yeah, since at one age
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: nine ten something like that that early. And how did
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, the way people respond animals and things. Yeah,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: like how to respond like I got energy like my
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: four year old everybody, we all see that in her.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: She's a she's an absolute healer like she does think
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: my grandma does. Yeah, just like the way out nurture
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: rocks a plane old rock means a lot to me. Um,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I kind of knew that that
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: cats for the sake of words, healer would be that word.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Did you feel odd in school at because you obviously
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a I'm a mutable person, so I
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: learned quickly not to put myself in in the line
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: of fire. So I kind of mutate to how other
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: people behave and learn that. Yeah, so I didn't really Yeah,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't really do too much talking about these kind
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: of things, which is wild to me. Was your musician, right,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: so you have to to talk not always, even though
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you played mostly your own instruments, it was none of that. Well,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: when I was younger, I thought we were talking about that,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: you know, but I didn't mean come a singer or two.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I was like twenty five. Yeah, I'm talking about when
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you're a kid as a child. Okay, how old is
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: your daughter? Now? I got a fourteen year old and
• 32:21

• 32:24
  Speaker 1: the birthday? She's a Libra. She is ye, she's alib
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: she was born in September. Okay, yep. What made you jump?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Just now? You felt some bad energy, didn't you? You
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: did a little bit, right, a little bit okay? All right?
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was point she did jump a little bad
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: got hot? You gotta you gotta book? Is that book
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: coming out in twenty ing for me? Yeah? I might be.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Am I putting out a book
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: America America that could be the album or a book,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the book, Okay, the book. Okay, that's gonna be part two. No,
• 33:07

• 33:14
  Speaker 1: New America Part two is coming in twenty twenty four.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe somebody else writing it. You would have to do
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: that one day, though, right, write a book. You keep
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: telling me that you should. I really enjoyed your book.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I think I think I'll get I'm so lazy, you know.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I like doing things that come really easy for me,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: you know, and I do them well and I'm not
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: trying to reinvent it. Well, you're performing for two hours straight.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Ain't that easy? It's super easy. You're singing, running back
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: and forth, playing like playing instruments. It's easy. That's easy,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Like this is easy for you. You know. That's what
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I think people should focus on what's the most what's
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: the easiest thing for you, and find a way to
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: capitalize on that. Yeah, we'd be trying to live with
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: other people lives and shiit, what's the easiest thing for you?
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: You know? That's why everybody all out of alignment now,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: because they're doing things that they shouldn't be doing. They're
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: doing things that they see other people do right, comparison. Yep,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I heard what's the guy named at Cartole? You know that.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I hear him say things like the ego needs and identity,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and the identity lives by comparison, you know, so we
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: can't help but compare ourselves. I think somebody also said
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: that when you're scrolling down instatground, when you see a
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: beautiful woman and you're a woman, you have about two
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: minutes of depression that happens in the body. Really, yeah,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: you get depressed a little bit for about a couple
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: of minutes, so your body releases the enzyme or hormone,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: you know, it causes that. What if you two are
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: for a woman, it still happens for some reason because
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the body naturally wants to compare, right, Yeah, who was
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Eric about to ever compared herself too? Because you were
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: one of one? I am one on one. Well, you
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: don't always know that, you know, we don't always know that.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: It depends on how we're feeling hormonally. We move up
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: and down all day long. You know, I'm perfect, you know,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: but I don't know that. M. Yeah all the way. M.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: That's something you have to keep telling yourself. Yeah, Like, yeah,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I think we all. Do you know healing is like
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: a full time and part time job is happening all
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the time. You know. My daughter was and I were
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: talking once about jealousy and those kinds of things, and
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I told her those feelings don't ever go away. You
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: just learn how to manage them better and use them
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: you know better, you know, but the feelings of those
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: things kind of stick with you. And you know, like
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: people say, it's not a journey of trying to get somewhere.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: It's a decision that you make. I'm going to decide
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: to behave this way, you know, And that's that's because
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: we're already here. We just have to decide I'm gonna
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: behave like this starting today. Yeah. So when the left thing,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: you compared yourself to somebody you personally uh m hm compared?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe no, in that kind of way. On Instagram, I'm
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: looking down the thing and you see somebody's body that's
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: cute or something. Can you compare that? You know, because
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: we none of us think we're perfect. I told y'all
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: during window seat I didn't think I had a great body,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: but I learned that I did the responses. Can you
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: imagine that social media back then can you imagine. Yeah, yeah,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: when I see somebody, you know, with an ideal body
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: that I think I should have, you know, I'll compare
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: that in my mind. What is an ideal body? Though?
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: You know? To me, it's athletic body. That's what I like,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: because that's what I've always had. And as gravity comes in,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not the same anymore. It was athletic
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: now it's as Yeah, you had the young boys going
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: crazy last year when you was working on stage. Who's
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that with? What was that with? Megan was working on
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: somebody's stage that was terrible? On purpose? I'll be trying
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: to do terrible things and then people say it's great.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: That scares me. That really scares me, because you know
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: it's great. What do you mean? I don't believe you,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, because that'd be trying to clown and shit,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: you know of the impact you what you all? What
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: like you said, you said you'd be trying to do
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: things terribly. Do you ever create terrible art on purpose
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: just to test somebody in the studio, Lucy, if they
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: tell them, I wouldn't say terrible art, but like not
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: putting a lot of effort into something. And then people
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: say it's great. That's when you know, Okay, this is
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: not me because I personally didn't put a lot of
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: work into that thing. Yeah, what if you're five is
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: somebody else's ten? Well, what if you're five is somebody
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: else's ten. It's possible because we're not the same. Yeah, no,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: it was the same. So you do it to be bad,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: not to be good. No, see y'all taking it too far. No,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, at some point when I'm
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: just doing something like I write a song over some music,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: and then I don't think this is it, and then
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: people will go that's great, that's great. I just don't
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: believe it, you know, because it's not great to me.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: So you know that's what I mean. I want to
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: tell you one of these questions that one of our
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: producers wrote on this list because I think it's a
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: hilarious number eleven, Yes, read it. Read it. I don't
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: know why I'm reading, but I thought it was funny.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious. Okay, they said, you're still selling
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: your pussy in the bottom. It's in a box, in
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: a box, in a box. I am whenever whenever need
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: be insense, Yes, insense, Yeah, whenever need be. How are
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: you with your mate? Are you joking? Did your mate
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: ever know when you're when like you crack a joking?
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It always like he doesn't know if
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: you joking or not. We can say mates, we can
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: go across the board. You know, in time, you have
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: to have a say, sense of humor with somebody for
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: them to understand and you're joking. Because there are a
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: few people that don't. We don't have a sensens to
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: human so they don't never know when I'm joking. Yeah,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I have a super morbid dark sense of humor. You know,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: I laughing shit that people are not supposed to laugh. Word. Yeah,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: So some people know what I'm joking. Some people don't. Do.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: You have to have that real connection because they're gonna
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: you gonna laugh and they're gonna look at you like
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: you crazy. I really like having the same sense of humor, music, taste,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: you know, and everything else can be expand. As long
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: as you're working on yourself, we can have that. And
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: that's enough for me because you know, as you're growing,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: we gotta be listening to music and we're gonna be joking.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Those are the constant things. So I like having those
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: two things in coming, and I don't like nobody making
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: me question myself. That's right, you know what I'm seeing
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: like that laughing right this? I think we laugh it
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: to same thing, and we get in trouble for its time.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: It'd be funny though all the time I can't. I
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: can't look at him most of the time. Go, we
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: just start laughing at stupid iss and we used to
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: get in trouble. Yeah. All the time. People always tell
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: me it's too soon, it's too soon. Yes, sometimes what
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: is time? I don't know. Yeah, right, so tomorrow, don't
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: hit them with what is time? That's why we're feeling like,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: do you mean too soon? Yeah? And most of the time,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: we're not laughing at the situation. We're laughing at the absurdity.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: It's just hey yoka. Hey yoka is a term coined
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: by Native American tribes like the Sioux tribe. For example,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I'm laughing now because we tell you you're talking about No.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: We had a co host today that we're talking about
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Native Americans and Indian people. Later okay. Hey yoka is
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: a term that describes a character in the village who
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: does everything backwards. H he rides the horse backwards. He
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: purposely burns himself to so to make fun. He's like
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: the gesture of a joker, but he's the one who
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: tries to make people not take things so seriously life
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: and death, you know, birsts and tragedy, you know, So
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: he makes the joke out of it. I'm super hey, Yoka.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: So people don't think that's funny a lot you know
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: things I say, but I'm I'm trying to make it
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: lighter and that you don't take it so seriously. It's okay,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: we're in one moment right now, you're too. Yeah, sometimes
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: to my own I don't know, I don't even want
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: to say it to my own detriment. I just don't
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: think it's it's a gift to share with everybody, right.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: That's much something I had to learn much later in life. Though.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: It's tough love because you tell the truth and you
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: don't really have patience for anything in between. So that's hey,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Yoka as well, super gifted but really impatient. You know,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: one thing we talk about with you, and I love
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: it like you've never allowed allowed yourself to be labeled
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: like even when it comes to it it comes to men,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: right if people always talk about your your baby fathers,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: but you like they can't able to label you anything,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: like they don't don't do that with other women. Other
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: women they'll put labels on, oh lucky bought on the
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: right day. You know, it's I don't know. I think
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: if you're transparent, people shouldn't do that. Yeah, I don't.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't know anything. I didn't know. No one would
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: expect to have three baby daddies. Who plans that? But
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: when those things start to happen, you don't stop living.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: You continue to grow and live and learn and make
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: the best out of those situations and things. Who would
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: want to do that? You know, in this judgmental society,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: you just sucked me up because I thought they're about
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: playing that you did. Okay, well I planned it some
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: part of me. No, No, let's let's be transparent, you know,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: for for my sisters out there. Um, we fall in love,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: you know, love is a chemical team. We fall in love. Really,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I think God make us fall in love just long
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: enough to get pregnant so that we could go ahead
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: and procreate, keep the race going. And then that dies
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: down and then everything else is on you depending on
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: your culture, next step is marriage, or the next step
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: is another mate, the next step is whatever. In our culture,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: the next step is supposed to be marriage, and it
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't fit everybody. That doesn't fit me, you know, and
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: marriages in this country or culture, it's a culture. It's
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to do a certain thing. So, because we're
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: all individual beings, everybody does not have relationship skills. Everybody
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: does not know how to be a mate. You know.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: We try, you know, but we're not taught that. That's
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: something that we're not taught out of. It's a whole
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: culture built around it, but we don't even know how
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: to do it. And it's the most important thing. Yeah,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: when did you realize I don't have those skills? You know,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: you're not built a relationship, not that kind, not yet,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: you know. Anyway, I don't I noticed that I didn't
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: have relationship skills when um, the rules of those engaging
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: skills is the man is the giver and the woman
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: is the receiver. I don't. My body is not built
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: that way. I like to poly you're a thing and
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: climb trees and have cars and work and ambitious and
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I'm ambitious for my family I am the breadwinner of
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: my whole entire clan, my family. I'm the franchise. So
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: that doesn't really work for the culture of marriage that
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: we have been taught. You know, it could be another
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: kind of thing accord for, but this culture that has
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: been instilled in our minds doesn't work for that. And
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: women who do have those kinds of desires and things
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: are deemed to this too masculine, too ambitious, too that
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: you want to be a man, you want to what
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: do you mean, I just want to be eric. But
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: it's changed a lot. Yeah, it has to a certain extent,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: but not in that area. Because if you want to
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: be chosen for a mate, you you really have to
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: understand the culture of partnerships. There's a culture, and you
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: have to be willing to work. That's why they call
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: it hard work, you know it. They call it work
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: because it's not a natural thing for us. It's not
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: an it doesn't come natural for us to do some
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: of those things that the culture relationships require. That's why
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: we gotta work hard and make mistakes. And I accidentally
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: did this because it's hard work. It's so wow because
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I think people look at when they think of you
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: They think of Erica is the woman that's that's what
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: she wants to do and necessarily doesn't want to be
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: in a long term relationship. They look at Eric because like,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: this is what I want, and then I'm onto the
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: next because that's how I am. I'm a free being
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: and that's how I feel. I don't think anybody would
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: ever thought that that's what the part is, right. I
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: am very open. My heart is very open. Two new relationships.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: It's open. I don't carry the fear and hate from
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: the last one into it because it's something else. So
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not a planner as much. That's how I also
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: know that I'm not suited for the culture or relationships
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: because it requires all these plans and things. You know.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I am suited for the culture entertainment though I can
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: do that very well. I know all the INDs and
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: outs of that, and I've spent most of my thought
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: life honing that energy and not giving a lot of
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: time to the other part. So you don't you wouldn't
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: necessarily want to work on the relationship part. This wasn't
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: in you at the time. No, I didn't want to
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: at that time, you know. I just felt like if
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: you didn't fit. I ain't doing it. Yeah, it doesn't work.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: So you can let go so so easy, I guess,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: because I have to work afterwards. You know, the letting
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: go part may be easy, but the work is the
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: missing the people and you've you've created these bonds together
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: and yeah, it's it's very difficult, but I like to
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: do that in private. I'm not gonna make it to
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: guy's responsibilities and nobody else's, but I know when there's
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: time the download toe. I'm glad you're here because I
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: want to explore this with you because you said something
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: and I've been thinking about this. I feel like patriarchy
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: is such a forced concept. Yeah, and I feel like
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: people have to create a patriarchy in order to make
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: men lead. I think if it was just naturally divine,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: it'd be a partnership. I just think the balance it'd
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: be more balanced. But the women are the natural leaders
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: to me, and if I don't know, if you've seen
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: the cover, the new cover with Rihanna, and to me,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: that represents that in such a real it's it is.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: It speaks volumes to Asa Rockies love for her, you know,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: and for himself. You know, you have to really love
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: yourself as a man in this society that has done
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: this number on you and beat you down to the
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: point where you feel like you're nothing if you don't
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: have some physical thing to offer. You know, you're an
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: extraordinary human being if you have emerged out of that
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: pool of despair. You know, it's it's disparaging to have
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: to feel like you are nothing if you don't don't
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: bring something to this table in the culture or relationships,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: it's difficult. I was a son, so I would hate
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: for him to have to feel like that and then
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: results to insecurity and result to envy of his mate
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: and all that. You know. That's why I'm not suited
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: for this culture of relationships, you know, because I don't
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: believe those things. I don't believe my son to be
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: in a box, nor myself. You know. Have you had
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: problems with men wanting with men understanding that you just
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: are a natural leader? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. They was in
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: the world I grew up, so yes, I don't think
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: they mean to. I don't think they want to, but
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: this is the program, you know. And I also think
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: it's a very innate thing for men to want to
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: care for and take care of someone for the rest
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: of their life, you know. But the way that we
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: think that they're supposed to take care of someone for
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: the rest of their life is obscured to me. I
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: can't expect somebody to be the strongest person that never
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: cried carry you across the railroad track. And that's the
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: human being too, you know. So and they feel like
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: failures a lot when they don't do those things and
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: can't do those things, and they feel like inadequate beings
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: when the woman makes seventy dollars more than they do
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: or something like that. To me, submission it's a very
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: important thing in the relationship, and I think the person
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: that submits should be submitting to the person with the mission,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: not a stronger person or the male person of the
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: few whoever has the mission, and it works for the family,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: you know, And the woman can have more money, lots
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: more money. But as long as a man has a mission,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: it's fine, you know, because if he wants to and
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: needs to feel a certain way, you know about it,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: then it's up to both of us. Not because it's
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: the rules, it's because we care about each other, where
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: you're compassionate to each other's feelings and what each other's needs.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I know what you want and what you're trying to do,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: and that's no way I would poke as that or
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: put you down because of it. Like what you said earlier,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: make you feel bad because you're your your humor is dark.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: You have a problem submitting to somebody, No I do.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: There's a mission, you know, that's what submitting is about.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: But if someone expects you to be submissive in the
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: like in the culture, what the culture describes as submission
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: is cooking and cleaning and bearing and doing all those things.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I do all those things too, but that's not all
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: I do, and only all I do so because I
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: do it because it's my responsibility, you know, it's my response, Billy, Yeah,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: agreed to do those things. Yeah, that's why I do them.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: The only time I've ever seen you, like like really
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: pushed back on double standards that exist is when they
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: would age shaming you. I think it's so weird. I
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: mean it is. It's it's like Ericabado fifty two goes
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: to the store. But if we're talking about you, Charlottamagne,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: there's nothing in sight with your age, and that's just enough.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: That's part of the culture. It's a part of the
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: patriarchal culture. They don't see its age shaming. They feel
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: like they are letting us know, letting the rest of
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: the people know. Yeah, they're not saying you look good
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: for your age. They're just saying you've aged. And I
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: don't know what that means. You know, still, and they
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: do that even with who you might choose to date,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: because you can be with young Miami. Yeah it's no problem. Yeah,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Erica with a young boys. What does she know? Yeah,
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: it's just like that. It's because we're not supposed to
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to be some pussy. I can beat that out,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: but that's what we're supposed to be. And if that's
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: all you're supposed to be, then they got to put
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: an age on it. Yeah, it's old pussy season. Well
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: we know that. Yeah, we know that. But you know,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: it's just weird how the world is set up because
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: I don't see it, and I'm not programmable when it
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: comes to that part. You know, I'm not a nonconformist.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not a feminist. You know, I'm just awake. I
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: can see awake, not woke both. I hate what I
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: think who people need to get some sleep. You know,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: because they use and woke as it as something to
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: compare themselves to somebody else who doesn't know as much
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: as that that's not what woke. Me and Georgia talking
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: about woke the other day. What woke is is keeping
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: your antenna up and paying attention to the things that
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: are going around along or going on in your life,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: inside your body and outside. Stay woke, you know, and
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: it's just been obscure. We are you taking it back?
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: You know, because woke is is a necessary thing for people.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: You know, you gotta be aware, in tune, in alignment
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: with nature and the things that are going on so
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: you can not make the same mistakes. Yeah, this is
• 55:39
