- 2:05Speaker 3: But Raki A Ward called her husband, Travis Ward, to
- 2:07Speaker 3: come to the store with a gun after she got
- 2:09Speaker 3: into a fight. Okay, rip to that brother, Travis Ward.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Definitely sending healing energy to him and his loved ones. Look, man,
- 2:16Speaker 3: our job as men is to protect and provide for
- 2:19Speaker 3: our women. But I feel like this is a teachable moment. Okay,
- 2:23Speaker 3: I'm here to protect, not crash out. Okay, my wife
- 2:26Speaker 3: shouldn't want me to crash out, all right. Don't call
- 2:28Speaker 3: me as your husband to come crash out for you,
- 2:31Speaker 3: all right, And let's be clear this was a crash out,
- 2:33Speaker 3: all right. Friendly piece of advice. If someone calls you
- 2:36Speaker 3: and says bring a gun, I don't care who that
- 2:40Speaker 3: someone is, right, could be your wife, your mother, your child.
- 2:44Speaker 3: If someone says bring a gun, you're probably shouldn't go,
- 2:48Speaker 3: all right, because they're not called They're not calling you
- 2:50Speaker 3: to solve a problem. They're calling you to make a
- 2:53Speaker 3: bad situation worse. And that's exactly what happened here. Okay,
- 2:56Speaker 3: I promise you. If the RSBP says a gun is
- 2:59Speaker 3: part of the address, I'm not attendant. Okay, ask yourself,
- 3:04Speaker 3: why would you ever attend all right. Clearly Travis was
- 3:06Speaker 3: a loyal person a husband, But your loyalty shouldn't cost
- 3:10Speaker 3: you your life, because Travis should have been telling her
- 3:13Speaker 3: I'm coming to Walmart to get you to bring your
- 3:16Speaker 3: ass home.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Okay, what the hell are you doing fighting a grown
- 3:18Speaker 1: ass man in Walmart? All right? Look, if this woman
- 3:21Speaker 1: you know that was arguing with her boyfriend was in
- 3:23Speaker 1: some type of real danger, call the police. All right.
- 3:27Speaker 3: There's no need for you, sisters to be walking up
- 3:29Speaker 3: on this man playing vigilante. Okay, you can tell that
- 3:32Speaker 3: man stop what you're doing or I'm calling the police,
- 3:34Speaker 3: but you can't take that matter into your own hands.
- 3:36Speaker 3: And clearly it was too much for you to handle
- 3:39Speaker 3: because you called Travis to come get your back and
- 3:42Speaker 3: to come escalate.
- 3:43Speaker 1: The situation with a pistol.
- 3:44Speaker 3: All right, Every argument, every fight isn't worth turning into
- 3:48Speaker 3: a murder scene.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Okay, how many times do I have to tell you
- 3:50Speaker 1: to do your jail math.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Your jail math is simply a calculation that you make
- 3:55Speaker 3: that determines whether or not whatever you are about to
- 3:58Speaker 3: do ads up. And none of this adds up up. Okay,
- 4:00Speaker 3: you telling me there wasn't one cooler head that could
- 4:02Speaker 3: have prevailed. Not one person stopped to think to say, hey,
- 4:07Speaker 3: this is going too far. My brothers, you can love
- 4:10Speaker 3: somebody and still not do everything they ask. If your
- 4:12Speaker 3: wife says bring flowers, cool, okay, bring food what you
- 4:16Speaker 3: want to eat? Bring a gun? Excuse me, say what?
- 4:20Speaker 3: I gotta have some more questions first. All right, if
- 4:22Speaker 3: somebody calls you and says, bring a gun, how about pause,
- 4:26Speaker 3: take a breath, and bring some common sense instead. Okay,
- 4:28Speaker 3: I promise you, when someone tells you to bring a gun,
- 4:31Speaker 3: the only thing waiting for you on the other side
- 4:33Speaker 3: of that phone call is prison or the cemetery.
- 4:37Speaker 1: All right. Remember those Choose your own adventure books we
- 4:40Speaker 1: read when we was kids, y'all. Remember those.
- 4:41Speaker 3: Yes, when you made the wrong choice, your character usually
- 4:44Speaker 3: faced the sudden, dramatic failure or an abrupt the end.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Sadly, for brother Travis, this was the end. Okay.
- 4:51Speaker 3: I'm not letting nobody's temporary anger become my permanent consequence.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Somebody tell me bring a gun, I'm gonna call nine
- 4:58Speaker 3: one one for them and tell them they need to
- 5:00Speaker 3: get down there fast because they asked me to bring
- 5:02Speaker 3: a gun, so it must be serious.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Okay.
- 5:04Speaker 3: This is a tragic example of what happens when people
- 5:08Speaker 3: recruit others into conflicts that never needed to become life
- 5:12Speaker 3: of death in the first place.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Please give Rocky Award the Biggest s Hull. This is
- 5:21Speaker 1: a difficult one, I'm sure for some.
- 5:23Speaker 3: People when you think about it, like, because your wife
- 5:25Speaker 3: is calling you and telling you she just got into a.
- 5:27Speaker 5: Fight, it's not just it's not just a regular person
- 5:30Speaker 5: calling you and telling your gun, right, your wife.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's still got to be a plan B.
- 5:36Speaker 3: If her plan A is bring a gun, I got
- 5:39Speaker 3: I need more information.
- 5:41Speaker 6: But did he not ask questions? It's like, damn, It's
- 5:43Speaker 6: just like all right, baby, them on my way hung up,
- 5:45Speaker 6: Like I.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Was like, yo, I'm just I just got into a
- 5:47Speaker 1: fight a walkm out.
- 5:48Speaker 5: With a guy, and you just like what I'm well,
- 5:50Speaker 5: see this is the thing. Right If your wife calls
- 5:53Speaker 5: you and she never talks about anything violent, anything anything
- 5:59Speaker 5: like that.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Anything this woman, I'm just saying, I don't know, I'm just.
- 6:05Speaker 5: Putting myself in a situation, right cause you say I'm
- 6:06Speaker 5: going to ask questions. If he called me and says
- 6:09Speaker 5: come to so and so, bring your hammer, I'm coming.
- 6:11Speaker 5: I'm not going to ask questions. I'm jetting in.
- 6:13Speaker 3: I don't believe you call your father first. No, I
- 6:16Speaker 3: don't believe that. I believe you would call your father.
- 6:19Speaker 3: I don't believe.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Because I believe my wife.
- 6:21Speaker 5: My wife would make sure she wouldn't try to put
- 6:23Speaker 5: me if she called me and told me to bring
- 6:25Speaker 5: a gun is because it's serious. So I'm gonna come
- 6:27Speaker 5: down there with my hand and I'm jetting down there
- 6:29Speaker 5: as fast as I can.
- 6:30Speaker 6: But you still got to think about your life too, right,
- 6:32Speaker 6: and like, yeah, yeah, you got kids and.
- 6:35Speaker 5: Thinking about my wife calls me and says, come down
- 6:38Speaker 5: to wherever with the I am coming.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Well, guess what, there's nobody there to protect your kid anymore.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I mean, it's sadly.
- 6:47Speaker 3: Somebody got to think this sadly, and she probably anyway,
- 6:51Speaker 3: they they're.
- 6:51Speaker 1: A couple, they're a unit. They both got to think
- 6:54Speaker 1: it through.
- 6:54Speaker 3: So because she might be calling you all a rational
- 6:57Speaker 3: and emotionally and you.
- 6:59Speaker 1: And the moment, baby hold up, baby, hold on, what's
- 7:01Speaker 1: going on?
- 7:03Speaker 5: If you if you call Chris right, your husband Chris,
- 7:05Speaker 5: and you say Chris, come to tackle bell and bring
- 7:07Speaker 5: the him just jokeing, but if he said come to
- 7:09Speaker 5: any store, bring the fire on immediately, my husband is.
- 7:12Speaker 6: Not going to think like that. He's going to be like, well,
