Speaker 1: We go and dance To step to the soul get wet.
9:33
Speaker 2: I'm sorry about that.
9:39
Speaker 2: I just feel to play that song, right, I have no relevance to anything.
9:42
Speaker 2: I want to talk about Anything.
9:44
Speaker 2: I was born to say right, but the only week was First week of the year.
9:46
Speaker 2: Only I get through 51 months ago.
9:48
Speaker 2: Well done, I hope you accomplished something.
9:52
Speaker 2: Wherever weight loss go, like I said, I hope you get that Wherever money wants to save.
9:55
Speaker 2: And in first week I hope you get through it out.
9:57
Speaker 2: All your New Year's resolutions come true.
9:59
Speaker 2: Now, in listening to music this year and listening to the complaints, I come up with a conclusion.
10:04
Speaker 2: Right, I realize that with artists, right, when you see Cannaval Is only about 3 weeks long, which this Cannaval is, right, I always mark Cannaval by my birthday.
10:14
Speaker 2: Anytime Cannaval is before my birthday, we in trouble.
10:17
Speaker 2: We have a short season, right, some small fet good and get squeezed out.
10:20
Speaker 2: Somebody had to feel something Because when it's only a 6 weekend In the whole Cannaval and it have hundreds of fet to happen, some fet in go happen right and some fet go happen empty, so everybody fighting up.
10:33
Speaker 2: But as an artist, when you point out music, right, you remember that every year you listen to probably Hundreds of different Rhythm, hundreds of different concepts, if you're using a writer, how much song you might record, songs that you never put out, right, many, many artists.
10:48
Speaker 2: His hair is a lot after artists pass away With unreleased music that they didn't Put out at all.
10:55
Speaker 2: It is my belief, after listening to everything that happened this year, that when the season short and it only about 6 weeks, water Cannaval I think artists is recycling Tune what they refused before, right?
11:07
Speaker 2: So when you know the season long and you gonna get booked for a hundred Out of the thousand event, you putting out your best material, you putting out what is there In a short season when your name is voice or who is the other people who getting booked For every single fet, when your name is voice or castle Marshall out this season, right, the top tier people, voice cast, patrice destra.
11:28
Speaker 2: It is my belief that these people Going back through the thing and they say here what going on, the maximum return on this Cannaval In 6 weekend at $20,000 a weekend Is $120,000.
11:42
Speaker 2: The way my mortgage and things set up, me and Spenna sent this Cannaval.
11:48
Speaker 2: I'm not sending out black sent in the studio.
11:49
Speaker 2: I'm not sending out black sent, recording nothing and not paying no writers for nothing.
11:53
Speaker 2: I'm going back in my roll of decks Of old tune that I did not use and I did not want to use and it wasn't good enough.
11:59
Speaker 2: And this one, I have a road match here and this here was my tent and it was free, so I had to come big and I taken out that tune what was just good enough.
12:10
Speaker 1: Is that song?
12:10
Speaker 2: Is that song?
12:12
Speaker 2: You taking out something, what?
12:13
Speaker 2: Just good enough, and you putting it out as is.
12:16
Speaker 2: So look at everybody who come at tune.
12:17
Speaker 2: You know I see people come playing that voice singing the same tune every year.
12:20
Speaker 2: See the debate going on about that.
12:22
Speaker 2: And the same song.
12:23
Speaker 2: When people talking about the same song, right, there are a few things that make the same song.
12:27
Speaker 2: What is it?
12:28
Speaker 2: They call it the same song.
12:29
Speaker 2: Is it the same concept you're singing about?
12:31
Speaker 2: Well, this year, follow the same concept.
12:33
Speaker 2: I want a little listen for yourself and those say it's me and I don't want to be that person who is coming here and promote Old school soca and old school kaiso and what I mean, the foundation of the thing, and then hate on the youth.
12:47
Speaker 2: I don't think I am that.
12:48
Speaker 2: Am I telling them to that guy?
12:49
Speaker 2: I don't think I am that guy.
12:50
Speaker 2: I like music that come out every year, right.
12:54
Speaker 2: But when you look at the same concept, I listen to songs this year and I could tell you To the number.
13:02
Speaker 2: Almost all of them Is about how much rum I beat and how much rum on my face and how much rum I drink.
13:08
Speaker 2: So when I say the same concept, voice singing every year.
13:11
Speaker 2: What am I trying to say?
13:13
Speaker 2: All voices sing about this rum.
13:14
Speaker 2: Well, I want to tell you, in the last three, four years I began some success with the rum, so me know if you go move from that at all.
13:21
Speaker 2: I want to say the same song, what song like?
13:24
Speaker 2: The same chord progression, something.
13:26
Speaker 2: I feel like people write it.
13:30
Speaker 2: I feel like people write when I hear voice.
13:31
Speaker 2: It hard to distinguish what voice sing last year, from the year before, from the year before that and again.
13:37
Speaker 2: When you have a winning formula, you're probably not going to change it.
13:40
Speaker 2: I remember people was vexed with chester time when you were singing all kind of tune about iron.
13:45
Speaker 2: But if iron working for you, maybe you're going to stick to song what iron.
13:50
Speaker 2: But outside of voice I'm moving, but my voice is legendary.
13:54
Speaker 2: It hard to dispute anything that voice doing and voice putting out top quality music Every single year.
13:58
Speaker 2: Whether you feel like, whether you feel like it's song in the same way it had the same feel, it really don't matter.
14:05
Speaker 2: Voice going for top tier music all the time, which is done this year again.
14:09
Speaker 2: But the music in general this year, like all, it is about rum and that's why I pick out a few songs this one and I will play from the yesteryear, because you would notice that these songs Not specifically referencing.
14:23
Speaker 2: But you know, when you make up for kind of morning and getting in section and kind of all day and getting your costume, and I come in through the night to pick up my thing and I want to line up and have a scamp on Some of these songs this year.
14:32
Speaker 2: They so literal, it's no kind of story not hooking here.
14:37
Speaker 2: So when the few songs that I play so far, right, and I have a few more line up From this year as well as from yesteryear, you would notice a certain team.
14:47
Speaker 2: So look at Mikkel Tejah.
14:48
Speaker 2: Mikkel Tejah take that Lorraine concept and refix it and remix it and he make himself a song that will last for a million years.
14:57
Speaker 2: Right, that song going to be around for a long time.
15:01
Speaker 2: Because the concept behind Lorraine and also Johnny, he say oh man, come down from Africa.
15:08
Speaker 2: The idea of Ida Farina coming for Canaveral Is in plenty songs from all the years going on.
15:14
Speaker 2: That is a concept, right, you could use that as a concept and build a song around it, right, but the thing about it is because it's such a Talked about concept in Soka and Calypso already.
15:23
Speaker 2: You had to come good for the tune, to come out and rise to the top.
15:26
Speaker 2: In fact, mikkel Tejah take a classic like that and put his own spin on it and use the same name Lorraine and everything for a concept.
15:32
Speaker 2: Because Ida Farina commented Canaveral for the first time they beat out a concept to death.
15:37
Speaker 2: You had to come good A trainee who live in abroad.
15:39
Speaker 2: You had to come home right, a trainee who had to come home.
15:42
Speaker 2: So you went abroad and studied.
15:44
Speaker 2: You never come back.
15:45
Speaker 2: You overstayed your visa.
15:46
Speaker 2: You live in Australia.
15:47
Speaker 2: Now you know what I mean.
15:48
Speaker 2: Your visa expired.
15:49
Speaker 2: Your car came home.
15:50
Speaker 2: You married in for green car.
15:52
Speaker 2: These are common concepts, you know.
15:54
Speaker 2: This is very, very true.
15:56
Speaker 2: So when you think about somebody who all day facing Mikkel February, kind of cool, and again to come home for Canaveral, them songs and them done like many, many songs.
16:06
Speaker 2: That has been done a hundred thousand times.
16:09
Speaker 2: But if you find the right concept and the right groove and the right way to relate that to people, you're onto something.
16:16
Speaker 2: So when you hear explainer sing about Lorraine and that is the team song for people all my age and things Still the Lorraine would have been long before we had started FET and go away to come back and sing, right.
16:26
Speaker 2: But the people who study abroad and who overstayed their time and who married in for green car, they need a new anthem.
16:33
Speaker 2: The car depended Lorraine all their life, right, and Mikkel Tejah.
16:36
Speaker 2: Come and get them A new anthem for that.
16:40
Speaker 2: So when you see people who isn't 20, 21 years old Going all day and facing that, cool, everything brand new to you when you do it and the world starts when you're born.
16:47
Speaker 2: So with them, feeling like them is the first batch of people Went away and overstayed their time and now again a chance to come back for Canaveral After they married and so on.
16:55
Speaker 2: They have an anthem that Mikkel Tejah sung.
16:58
Speaker 2: Well put together.
17:00
Speaker 2: I want to get a glimpse into the youth bar and I want to again.
17:03
Speaker 2: I want to salute the musical director Of this podcast, stacey Shepard Bar.
17:08
Speaker 2: Well, my name is Villarela.
17:09
Speaker 2: My name is Villarela.
17:11
Speaker 2: I don't put Shepard Bar on people Pretty much early, right, but the reality is that she been telling me about Mikkel Tejah for a while and it's take me a while, it's take me a little bit of a Again, if you give me the chance, I will go and sing.
17:25
Speaker 2: I will listen to old school music all the time, you know what I mean.
17:30
Speaker 2: But she been talking about Mikkel Tejah and how bad he is for some time.
17:33
Speaker 2: But I think she will tune a run away.
17:36
Speaker 2: That song is going to last forever and I'm not sure that people the artists and them Too interested in forever music when the Canaveral is only 6 weeks.
17:45
Speaker 2: I feel what we're getting is a throw away song.
17:47
Speaker 2: Rinse and repeat, wash over.
17:49
Speaker 2: You see that that didn't work last year.
17:52
Speaker 2: So rinse off that and dust off that like brand new.
17:53
Speaker 2: Send it by producer Lent Touch it up Song in like 2020-2024.
18:00
Speaker 2: I might have had that since about 2012-2013, but rinse off that and break bait off that like brand new and play that for them.
18:07
Speaker 2: I want to play for you a little slice of Mikkel Tejah Acoustic version of this song, just so you understand how bad this song is.
18:13
Speaker 2: Let's get into the thing for the week.
18:37
Speaker 1: From the best of memories, say she coming home cause she musta took it.
19:05
Speaker 1: If your yes, she falling, I need her to run away.
19:10
Speaker 1: Lauren coming home for cannibal I need her to run away.
19:15
Speaker 1: This woman on back she party back.
19:18
Speaker 1: I need her to run away.
19:21
Speaker 1: She tello different and family I need her to run away.
19:25
Speaker 1: If your seen Lauren everywhere she go, watch she whine and rolling Every video that she fold Is she whine and rolling All over the road.
19:40
Speaker 1: Watch she whine and rolling when they redump it.
19:46
Speaker 2: Listen.
19:46
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it stops so abruptly.
19:49
Speaker 2: I think there it will be wrong, tim, it's not stop abruptly.
19:54
Speaker 2: Salute to me, kelteja.
19:57
Speaker 2: Again I want you to listen to the chord progression more In keeping with today's music.
20:02
Speaker 2: The lyrics he change up, he in change up lyrics, the front song.
20:06
Speaker 2: I don't want to make it song like he make over Lauren, he just make a modern version of the song.
20:10
Speaker 2: The only thing he put in is Lauren and the concept are coming home from New York.
20:14
Speaker 2: But the chord progression and thing more in keeping with today's soca, the selfie in your phone and all of it is whine and rolling.
20:21
Speaker 2: One life to live and I live in it.
20:24
Speaker 2: Those are things that is more modern sayings than Catally steel band and all stars beating.
20:28
Speaker 2: I hope I'm making some kind of sense, but again, forever music.
20:35
Speaker 2: That song going to last forever and ever and ever, amen.
20:39
Speaker 2: Another man I want to highlight here Is a man who he not necessarily looking for all concepts To put into song right, because I mean I don't want to make it song, but he's a old concept himself, one of the old schoolers who remain modern for about the last 40 years in soca music, and one thing you could guarantee is that Every carnival because carnival can make on me Kelteja alone we need more good music for fetica to sell and costume to sell and everything you know I mean.
21:10
Speaker 2: The carnival is an economy, you know you can't just put the wash over and throw away music in this year and whoever happen, happen.
21:16
Speaker 2: But one man you could depend on to sing music that is a wrong 40 year old lifestyle Is the great farmer Nappy.
21:41
Speaker 1: But I'm a brain, soul devil destroy, but it is never learn.
21:46
Speaker 1: But I'm a man who does pray at night, and I'm a man who does pray at night.
22:32
Speaker 1: And I'm a man who does pray at night and I'm a man who does pray at night, and I'm a man who does pray at night and I'm a man who does pray at night Fets coming fast and furious and I'm looking at the performances in the Fets.
23:55
Speaker 2: The big boys are still big boys, right, patrice Roberts is a big boy, you understand.
24:00
Speaker 2: So I want to start by saying I'm very, very happy to see Patrice Roberts performing, very, very happy.
24:08
Speaker 2: I was wondering about that a couple weeks ago.
24:10
Speaker 2: The personnel got a great grade of drew and now how much of an impact he had on artists throughout the industry and seeing Patrice Roberts on stage in Soka and Moka was a good thing to see and I was wondering about that and I was wondering about your work and people's grief so differently.
24:29
Speaker 2: It's hard to think that she would just take a can of alof and so said, so done.
24:35
Speaker 2: When she was on stage she seemed to be a former therapy for her and her audience.
24:40
Speaker 2: With her salute to the audience in Soka and Moka.
24:42
Speaker 2: I'd like to talk about the school Fets.
24:44
Speaker 2: I don't know if I tell you about that.
24:46
Speaker 2: It's the Trinity thing and the St Mary's thing, fatima, old Boys Association.
24:50
Speaker 2: We need to step it up, everybody who went Fatima.
24:54
Speaker 2: We need to amp up the level that we fed so that we, as talked about as Soka and Moka and St Mary's, fed At least on this podcast, right, the audience in Soka and Moka who stand up there with Patrice and is almost like they're there to help her, they're there to support her.
25:09
Speaker 2: There's something else to know about artists, because they become such a part of your life, and I might not understand how much the audience becomes apart of our artist's life, because I hear Patrice Roberts talking on that stage and something that she says stood out so much to everybody I saw, with her husband posting about it as well, where she said that you know, when you want something so bad and it's not for you, god just take it away permanently.
25:34
Speaker 2: That's a heavy statement, that is not.
25:39
Speaker 2: She said God, just take it away totally.
25:41
Speaker 2: And that just to say the mood.
25:44
Speaker 2: You could see how emotional she was.
25:46
Speaker 2: You could see the tears wiping away and I was telling her about that song she sings so prophetic in a way, and it'll be good to see her continue to perform through the kind of all, through all this pain, and if there's a way you're releasing a pain and dealing with a grief, it's great to see that the audience there to be a part of it with you.
26:03
Speaker 2: You know what I mean Our artist is.
26:06
Speaker 2: I remember our girlfriend back in the day who used to talk about our tragic experience in her life and how much Buju helped her through that experience.
26:13
Speaker 2: She just used to listen to Buju over and over to help her cope with it.
26:17
Speaker 2: Basically, all of us have stories like that about artists or particular songs that we use.
26:21
Speaker 2: I always talk about Sizzler.
26:23
Speaker 2: Can't Keep a Good man Down.
26:25
Speaker 2: No, nobody was trying to keep me down when I think about it.
26:28
Speaker 2: Right, I was in UE, my parents was paying for everything, but it was a hard journey and every exam I used to play this.
26:35
Speaker 2: You know, can't keep a good man down loud, over and over, like if I go into the exam, like if the examiner trying to do me something is me who is studying.
26:42
Speaker 2: But the music takes us through the ups and downs in our lives and sometimes you could mark our own journey in life through music.
26:51
Speaker 2: Well, the music so far.
26:52
Speaker 2: We got to skip 20.
26:53
Speaker 2: I hope you're going through, not 924.
26:55
Speaker 2: You're going to need soca for it because it's looking good so far.
26:57
Speaker 2: But again, the audience seemed to be there with Patrice and part of her journey throughout this.
27:06
Speaker 2: The funeral this week.
27:07
Speaker 2: You know if anybody had told me right last year that Baslio Pande and Ricardo Drew would have a funeral the same day, I would say.
27:15
Speaker 2: But it's mad people talking to me, mad people who, who, how you would dream this and who tried Charles Berry in the same week.
27:22
Speaker 2: This is most random Saturday thing I ever see to start 2024.
27:25
Speaker 2: But I saw the funeral.
27:27
Speaker 2: The funeral was, of course, extremely sad 38 years old, many, many artists who they are so desperate paying tribute.
27:33
Speaker 2: Destro sing a song in that, I believe, is a and he watches over me.
27:41
Speaker 2: Go and listen to Destro.
27:42
Speaker 2: I don't listen to me, but Destro singing the funeral.
27:44
Speaker 2: Boy, destro is something else.
27:46
Speaker 2: It's Destro.
27:47
Speaker 2: Destro is an artist and a half and she was posting about it.
27:50
Speaker 2: Also skinny, fabulous.
27:52
Speaker 2: Talking about Ricardo Drew calling him and him wanting to leave the industry and, you know, kind of walk away from it all when he wasn't getting the recognition or he wasn't getting where he needed to be in the industry is just due.
28:04
Speaker 2: And of course, you see Patrice Roberts there, his mother, when you watch Ricardo Drew.
28:10
Speaker 2: Mother is such a young woman to be grieving so, face on, that is not an easy thing.
28:14
Speaker 2: That is that it's easy at all.
28:16
Speaker 2: But again, talking about unreleased music, there was a song that Ricardo Drew had sang in 2016 that they played at his funeral and it was very, very moving.
28:29
Speaker 2: I didn't want to kill the mood of the thing and get everybody in a sad mood, but so I wouldn't play it.
28:33
Speaker 2: But the song was basically about don't cry from when I pass away.
28:37
Speaker 2: You know what I mean and I hope that they release this song this year, because this song is a nice song, but you don't know.
28:43
Speaker 2: Sometimes you wonder what it is that artists or producers or the team hearing that's telling them.
28:48
Speaker 2: Okay, I always wonder about this.
28:50
Speaker 2: Like I have a song, it complete, and I say, nah, don't release that.
28:54
Speaker 2: You know, like Marshall had spoken about like a boss, which is obviously a very good song that's one of the biggest songs he ever sing right, and he said he had that song about three or four years and he decided not to put it out.
29:08
Speaker 2: So I guess when you have a gem, your best bet is to keep your gem for the long.
29:14
Speaker 2: Keep your gem for when?
29:15
Speaker 2: Kind of Val is all about August.
29:17
Speaker 2: So when you see Ash Wednesday is any middle of August, you keep your gem for then so that you can maximize your performances and maximize the length that a good tune could go, and when you have a short season you don't put it out.
29:28
Speaker 2: But this song was so prophetic that maybe you don't want to.
29:32
Speaker 2: Just maybe you say listen to me, I am a partner.
29:35
Speaker 2: No song calling that on myself.
29:36
Speaker 2: I'm too young to put out a song like this.
29:37
Speaker 2: Maybe my legacy in retail wanted to reach yet, but they played it in the funeral and it was sad to listen to one.
29:44
Speaker 2: He did say that his voice will live on and so on.
29:46
Speaker 2: And so said so, done so.
29:48
Speaker 2: Again, condolences to everybody in that family and every what the whole soak of fraternity.
29:53
Speaker 2: Basically, on the personal, ricardo Drew buried, 28 years old.
29:56
Speaker 2: Something else, and in the same week I see Ho Choy Charles buried.
30:00
Speaker 2: So Ho Choy Charles would have been the first.
30:03
Speaker 2: I see controversy about this too.
30:05
Speaker 2: Strange enough, where Ho Choy Charles was the first chief secretary of the THA, which is true.
30:09
Speaker 2: I don't understand why people fight in this battle.
30:11
Speaker 2: The first man in charge of the Tobago House Assembly was A N R Robinson, arthur Napoleon, raymond Robinson, remember that guy, but it wasn't called the chief secretary at the time, I believe.
30:22
Speaker 2: So Ho Choy Charles was in fact the first chief secretary of the THA and somebody who's revered in Tobago, and the first time I ever hear talk about Tobago being separate from Trinidad.
30:34
Speaker 2: You know, as I say, the world starts when you're born in those.
30:36
Speaker 2: So I never realized this thing must be going on long before I come here.
30:39
Speaker 2: I think it's all brand new.
30:41
Speaker 2: But the first person I ever hear talk about independent self-governance for Tobago was really Ho Choy Charles, and that he's an embodiment of that Tobagonian spirit and Tobagonian pride.
30:54
Speaker 2: And I'll never forget bouncing up some Tobagonians in Sweden.
30:59
Speaker 2: We had gone for the World Cup right, not in Sweden, in Germany.
31:03
Speaker 2: After the Sweden game I was training somewhere in Germany as I was talking to them and of course they in red jerseys.
31:11
Speaker 2: So for me I talk into them and think I say so, what part of Trinidad are they from?
31:16
Speaker 2: And they, man say me from Trinidad.
31:18
Speaker 2: So now I find in the strange that he went.
31:21
Speaker 2: I read just like well, where from he's?
31:23
Speaker 2: Like Tobago.
31:24
Speaker 2: And boy, I got a stoop.
31:25
Speaker 2: I was like you know what I mean?
31:27
Speaker 2: What the hell are you talking about?
31:28
Speaker 2: But so I didn't realize how much of a source of pride it was for a Tobagonian that is a Tobagonian is the idea that we collectively call all of the Trinities or Trinidadians.
31:40
Speaker 2: That was the first time I was faced with that concept.
31:42
Speaker 2: I was 26 years old at that time, the first time I faced with the concept that okay identity thing going on here between Trinidad and Tobago.
31:49
Speaker 2: But Ho-Choy Charles was one of the first people who I would have heard that from back in the day.
31:53
Speaker 2: So, of course, again, state funeral and a sad day for all Tobagonians.
31:58
Speaker 2: And you know, it's that thing you're not supposed to laugh at in this life, right, you mustn't laugh at it.
32:03
Speaker 2: You mustn't take serious things and make jokes, right, I must always try and remember that.
32:06
Speaker 2: But I couldn't help but watch how, over London, you know, there's a viewing of the body and things for people like this.
32:13
Speaker 2: Right, when you, when you, when you have states money, you have a state funeral and so on, you have a viewing of the body and then we see over London going into view Ho-Choy Charles.
32:21
Speaker 2: That's going to be a big thing, right.
32:23
Speaker 2: Of course, news and things I want to tell all you over London, take the slightest and quickest glimpse at Ho-Choy Charles, almost like if he wants somebody roping me, like if, like if he sees himself going in.
32:34
Speaker 2: You know what I mean he said just take a little peep quick and keep it pushing, don't don't hang around and linger too long.
32:39
Speaker 2: They might call it so so, so, so over London and control until everybody.
32:45
Speaker 2: We're born in the middle of Ho-Choy, charles and, of course, the big one, the boss himself.
32:49
Speaker 2: You know what I mean If they they're most revered, I'd have called him the most revered.
32:52
Speaker 2: You know, the great Bas-de-Opande Pressmen was in a quandary as pressmen don't know how to act and I guess the whole country, by extension, was, was, was shocked, I would say, by the past.
33:03
Speaker 2: You know Bas-de-Opande, 90 years old, so I mean hard to shock people at 90 years old if you're past right, but he was so.
33:10
Speaker 2: The last times you see per outside of family, of course you know.
33:13
Speaker 2: I mean you're seeing somebody who young and strong and vibrant, and how talk and pick on and thing.
33:18
Speaker 2: You see him, everybody.
33:19
Speaker 2: Love Pandey.
33:20
Speaker 2: We should make that last series, you know.
33:23
Speaker 2: And we heard like a little article or little rumblings that just before Christmas he was there, he had flying out, he wasn't too well and the suit, there's nothing.
33:32
Speaker 2: You're not thinking that dies the end.
33:34
Speaker 2: You're thinking that dies a standard thing for them, for them, for them to fly out, get a medical care and come back.
33:38
Speaker 2: But sad news first day of the year in 2024 and the great Bas-de-Opande passed away.
33:43
Speaker 2: So condolences to his family, everybody in the country, all the supporters of Pandey, the UNC and and anybody who was wrong to see the shift of the opinion about Bas-de-Opande from when he was there, from when he was 96 to 2000, somewhere like that, to what he is today.
34:06
Speaker 2: And it's tell your story right, because sometimes you, sometimes you just sort of outlives little things.
34:11
Speaker 2: You know because I heard the tributes pouring out to Pandey and everybody, like I see Hoppy and them posting them and Lara, you know everybody have a pictured Pandey and a moment to tell him and the words he would say if you're fighting for that line, if you're sorry for the line, you know I mean he known for these kind of things.
34:27
Speaker 2: One of the things that I will never forget about Pandey was when he had lost the election and this man come out in a red berry to talk to the dwindling, crowding, reency complex at the time, until everybody stands tall and he is a real politician statesman when he needs to, be true trinity pick on and politician when he needs to be, and he going to meet his next press partner, manning, who I should have played up there and they can laugh and talk about all the times.
34:56
Speaker 2: You know what I mean I did see is funny to see or not funny, but uncanny like is unsettling.
35:04
Speaker 2: Sometimes watching interviews with Michaela Pandey or watching her talk to the press because so much not just her voice but her mannerisms look like pandey, so much.
35:15
Speaker 2: I really shouldn't say that about a man.
35:17
Speaker 2: Daughter is like she should look just like him is more obvious thing.
35:20
Speaker 2: But it's funny to see like the way she's put her mouth and the whole face when she trying to make a point and like Pandey.
35:27
Speaker 2: Theatrics was something else.
35:28
Speaker 2: Pandey was not just an orator, manning was an orator right.
35:31
Speaker 2: When you see Manning go up on a podium to talk, one of the most impressive things and you know, as a man who like to talk, I like people who like to talk right.
35:38
Speaker 2: So when I agree with Manning or Pandey and their dogma or whatever they come to talk about, I admired both of them in terms of the way they would speak on a podium.
35:49
Speaker 2: But it was two whole different things.
35:52
Speaker 2: Manning would never look down at a piece of paper.
35:54
Speaker 2: I don't know if he had a piece of paper there at all and he would talk for hours straight without any reference or any.
36:00
Speaker 2: That is impressive to me and that's very, very hard to do.
36:03
Speaker 2: And it didn't seem as though he was somebody who was trying to memorize our speech.
36:06
Speaker 2: He was going to the floor of things.
36:07
Speaker 2: If a man say something in the crowd or something funny, he had me quick enough to deal with that and he come back to a message and he know how to get a crowd moving.
36:16
Speaker 2: When you see Manning on a podium and a colleague plays Eddie Hart and he say we could beat him in the east, we could beat him in the east.
36:24
Speaker 2: And he had boy, listen, people are frenzy.
36:25
Speaker 2: And he always said ladies and gentlemen, you know what I mean Rail, rail, statesman and all the real McCoy.
36:32
Speaker 2: Pandey was different.
36:33
Speaker 2: Pandey always had a piece of paper in front of him.
36:36
Speaker 2: If you notice this one.
36:36
Speaker 2: He paid, like he can remember when he come to say at all.
36:39
Speaker 2: He always had things shuffling through when he come to talk, but the nice thing about him is he would shuffle through, glimpsed on at something and then go for solid 10-15 minutes and his punchline after Pandey know how to talk to people and get people moving and his whole way of speaking and everything was so theatrical.
36:58
Speaker 2: His whole body was involved when he come to make a political speech or a statement.
37:02
Speaker 2: Or even at the times where people would have been vexed with him, because I saw an article coming on and I read the article about him a little bit.
37:08
Speaker 2: But he had a one time when he called the teachers and them criminal for I think it was protestant for one money and he called them criminals While he was prime minister.
37:20
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a statement to make, but his way put his whole face on the motorcycle and he was criminal.
37:25
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
37:26
Speaker 2: He had a style.
37:28
Speaker 2: He had a style and when Mikaela talking the way she fix her mouth and the way she say things and even the way she pause in between a question and a response is so much like Baz do Pandey that I something to say and I feel for them because you could see the pain on her and her sisters and his wife as well.
37:48
Speaker 2: You could see that is a shock for them as well, as he wasn't thing as a man to so sprighty and expecting that he going for surgery or anything like that or medical care, and then all of a sudden, 2024 is no Baz again, no more Pandey.
38:03
Speaker 2: Strange, strange times, you know, in Pandey and Ricardo Drew very in the same day, or funeral is the same day.
38:10
Speaker 2: So again, condolences to everybody and the only person in Pandey.
38:15
Speaker 2: And just going back to that, like I saw the reporters, it makes more wonders sometimes, like what happened to reporters as he expressed the self out completely, because when Pandey had his body on display in Napa first and then they did it in Sapa for the public and then they had the funeral right so the general public could walk through and see.
38:36
Speaker 2: And I saw many people talking about how much of an impact Pandey had on them personally as men who was working currently 1975, limited as just supporters.
38:45
Speaker 2: One man said he was only brink, he wanted to come out of his life and Pandey talked to him about fighting on and carry on it and with so many people there to show their respect, the, of course, when the family come, you want to hear from the family.
38:59
Speaker 2: So you had an interview with Kayla Pandey in row.
39:01
Speaker 2: Keep in mind that she she flew to the politics a little bit, but I don't know if she's staying or if she's going or if she's died, something that she wants to do because she, she, she have been flowing that for some time.
39:11
Speaker 2: So now, this is not a states money asking this question in it, you know, you know you're not asking rollers or one of them.
39:19
Speaker 2: A question that is generic and he have a generic prepared answer about the press.
39:23
Speaker 2: Prime minister, right, remember that this is a man, daughter grappling and trying to deal with this real time that you're asking questions.
39:30
Speaker 2: I wonder sometimes if people like reporters, taking this into consideration, because a reporter ask her, well, only on the only passing of Prime Minister Basri or Pandey, how do you feel?
39:39
Speaker 2: My Kayla, it's like this way, this is a real question.
39:43
Speaker 2: And then I mean, just like her father, she pulls her five shows quick and a feature thing and she answered the question.
39:48
Speaker 2: Next question so when everybody go home and you go into bed at night where you feel like what's going on, well, I don't understand that.
39:54
Speaker 2: That's a question you are and I've seen it more and more because it's not just in a funeral for public figure states one like that's the up and I saw it with somebody who lost their parents or who lost their child, like some of these questions and I was glad to see, whether it was the express or CNC tree, whichever official media group had posted it on their Instagram, which to me they should not post.
40:16
Speaker 2: They've made it clear that their reporter did not ask those questions and it's a funny time in this social media year and because we're not depending on credible sources or media houses or anything to be media.
40:28
Speaker 2: These days pretty much anybody could be media.
40:30
Speaker 2: Anybody could walk up with a phone or a mic or anybody could walk up and ask the questions when enough.
40:35
Speaker 2: In the past it would only be credit credible people to do these things.
40:39
Speaker 2: So I think, somewhere in the mix of trying to get a headline and trying to be first to run a story, we must never forget that we deal with real people who have, in a real issue and a very, very vulnerable human moment on a losing a father, like why would you ask those kind of questions?
40:58
Speaker 2: And I think I find sometimes that even the more, the more senior of people are wrong there.
41:04
Speaker 2: So you have, you have somebody like me.
41:07
Speaker 2: Let me say whoever podcast, I look for something sensational and I push a mic and I ask a question like that.
41:11
Speaker 2: I find the more the CNC tree, the express, the guardian, the season journalist should put a stop to that right then and there, always remember.
41:20
Speaker 2: I thought I would refer to the name of John Bob.
41:23
Speaker 2: I want to say is John Bob?
41:25
Speaker 2: I hope?
41:25
Speaker 2: I hope I had that right.
41:26
Speaker 2: I feel like I have it wrong.
41:28
Speaker 2: But when I was doing trinysongscom website we used to have that was covering the entertainment scene always remember taking pictures, you know, I mean them days I looking for looseness in front and taking pictures of that and I remember him like almost nudging me and he's like we're doing that for we're taking that picture to do as a young fella.
41:49
Speaker 2: Then I didn't understand that he's am.
41:51
Speaker 2: I appreciated the fact that as you had somebody there who was senior and seeing a bigger picture than me, who was able to pull up my socks at the time and tell me like listen, what was that for?
42:00
Speaker 2: And that time I mean rich social media.
42:03
Speaker 2: To know that I know when I pop that picture, my album gone, sell off, you know so is equivalent to clicks and likes and stuff at that time.
42:10
Speaker 2: Nice to ask somebody who could tell you come on, you know.
42:14
Speaker 2: So hopefully those are the reporters could could put us stop to that, but the wider conversation, to have a post, the past in a Baselio family and even people like Ho-choy Charles, is this, this, this, this crowd that came out for Pantheon, your mountain people, were there.
42:33
Speaker 2: So when he went to, when they went to do final rights, people already they're waiting to receive him.
42:38
Speaker 2: You know, I mean that that is something else, but that is not the general sentiment I remember that people had for Pantheon back in the day.
42:45
Speaker 2: I don't know if people remember, so you know, the idea is like sometimes if you live long enough as a petty manning and get to live long enough, you know, because people had hated manning at one point in time in this country, right, you wonder sometimes, like if you live and you get old enough, if people are just like you for who you are, once you come out of the battle and the we versus them and I don't like them and everything they do is wrong and everything we do is right, once you come out of that, can you go from complete verification to be somebody of reference who people look back at?
43:16
Speaker 2: Because I I I hear a man say, well, I were currently 1975 limited and I said Pantheon, do so much for me.
43:22
Speaker 2: Then I was like what does he say?
43:24
Speaker 2: Man only wanted to half kill, only wanted to half kill him for that same issue, for that same issue and close the non-current issue and losing the election where that whole same stand, all things.
43:37
Speaker 2: So it makes you wonder, like, can you really hang around long enough?
43:42
Speaker 2: They say I don't hang around long enough to become a hero or villain and I feel like Daisy K is a fan, but it's nice to see that he got his heroes send off, well deserved, for my prime minister.
43:52
Speaker 2: I don't think there was any question about whether there was going to be a state funeral and things.
43:56
Speaker 2: And he was a big one, you know, I mean loved by many, I mean love to the point where I, like I said man trying to figure out as bad as his so called is like what fets are going on them kind of thing, and the way thing going with me these days I try and just see how I could get in fact for no money, right, if I could get complimentary this podcast.
44:16
Speaker 2: I just sort of do something for me.
44:18
Speaker 2: Now I've started to reach a point where this thing had to start a pay for itself, and one of the ways it could be for itself is that anybody who might be out there listening, who throws fets and so on, or have good little links in places, could send two tickets.
44:29
Speaker 2: Let me anywhere.
44:29
Speaker 2: I've gone, shake a leg.
44:30
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
44:31
Speaker 2: What, what, what happened?
44:32
Speaker 2: I looking for free net.
44:34
Speaker 2: Well, maybe not right, but we didn't know all they try not to pay for that.
44:40
Speaker 2: I could storm a fantasy mecheltasia, and I mean somebody who I could storm, a fantasy farmer, in other words.
44:47
Speaker 2: I want to storm to see people who live in and never know people is storming to see people with dead, like before there's always tell me this joke about a man in the country you know I mean they have a way can take the man, come on here, say, good day, is here the dead living.
45:04
Speaker 2: So, karen, you know what was she name?
45:09
Speaker 2: The news and truth Karen Nunes Tishiro is seen making a complete fool of herself.
45:17
Speaker 2: That is real, making a fool of yourself.
45:20
Speaker 2: Right, you didn't get invited to the funeral.
45:24
Speaker 2: Now I want to remind you about 15 minutes ago I said that the body was there for viewing in the public domain in Napa and then it was there for the public domain in Sapa.
45:36
Speaker 2: Right, karen Nunes Tishiro is an ex politician.
45:40
Speaker 2: I was, she is.
45:42
Speaker 2: She had her own party the other day I think she was part of Gary Griffith.
45:45
Speaker 2: Was she would Gary Griffith at a point in the NTA?
45:48
Speaker 2: I don't know what she is and what she's do now, but she's not in the parliament, she's not nowhere near.
45:51
Speaker 2: She's a senator.
45:52
Speaker 2: What she's do we doing for a living?
45:54
Speaker 2: You take your retirement money.
45:56
Speaker 2: I could say that.
45:56
Speaker 2: Did she take her retirement money before CME closed down, did she?
46:02
Speaker 2: I can't remember, you know, I mean, I've watched it say allegedly and now you upset with the world that you didn't get invited to a funeral, a funeral, right.
46:12
Speaker 2: This is the way we put this in perspective.
46:14
Speaker 2: The forgetting Napa and Sapa and all these buildings.
46:17
Speaker 2: You do the equivalent.
46:19
Speaker 2: It's like you storm all saints church because you can't get in a yard for a funeral.
46:23
Speaker 2: What are we doing?
46:24
Speaker 2: If you really was interested in paying respects to Panney and it was not about you and it was about Baselio Panney and what he meant to you and all the other platitudes you want to come and talk about there was public view and for people like me and you so Karen is in the public, right, we is the public.
46:40
Speaker 2: If you wanted to see Baselio Panney, we'd go and see Baselio Panney on the days where the thing open to everybody, if you really wanted to see him and pay respect.
46:50
Speaker 2: What about this you had to make into a spectacle and make a fool.
46:53
Speaker 2: That is real making a fool of yourself and I want to see at every artist it have because you had it.
46:59
Speaker 2: Will you go and jump in for something, your old bones and bill for this?
47:07
Speaker 2: If you did land hard, karen, suppose it land heavy.
47:11
Speaker 2: I'll never jump.
47:13
Speaker 2: I'll never talk to Karen and them age.
47:15
Speaker 2: Let me talk to people we age.
47:16
Speaker 2: When last year jump off or something.
47:18
Speaker 2: The other day it had a little fire in the community, right.
47:22
Speaker 2: So I climb up a wall to see where it is happening and then I do what I would do long time where I swing down my hand, I swing my foot and I drop down.
47:29
Speaker 2: I want to tell all you I nearly land in hell.
47:31
Speaker 2: The hardness I hit the ground with.
47:34
Speaker 2: I nearly went and looking for fire ups one.
47:36
Speaker 2: I nearly find fire done.
47:37
Speaker 2: So I couldn't believe how hard I land every muscle in my bone garret.
47:43
Speaker 2: I want to know if Karen did land hard.
47:45
Speaker 2: Your brittle use bones is brittle at this age and stage you cannot be jumping off or never see defense by supper the security now, who I'm sure would have advised her Karen, do do, do this, do jump the first at a guarantee me I could bet money.
48:01
Speaker 2: The security say car, car, don't do it, car, do do, do, do, do, do it, do it.
48:07
Speaker 2: Did nothing about this angle and well and with, like, I went Stalin funeral, right, stalin funeral was an apple, it had nothing in me, although I wanted to storm it, to be honest.
48:17
Speaker 2: But you could have walking yard freely, right, nobody was looking at me from walking here, but wanted to go inside.
48:22
Speaker 2: But I wasn't sure.
48:23
Speaker 2: I see a woman that booked by the thing.
48:25
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure if it was open to the public.
48:26
Speaker 2: And one thing I don't want to do is make a public fool of myself.
48:30
Speaker 2: So I play like I was outside, not wanting to go in for fear of being embarrassed.
48:34
Speaker 2: You know, I mean, embarrassment is nothing, no more.
48:36
Speaker 2: Well, it carried.
48:37
Speaker 2: No, seem like if it was, embarrassment was a thing, because other than the security, stop.
48:41
Speaker 2: And now you know what else I could bet here?
48:44
Speaker 2: I think she, she calls the entry, she says hello, you from the express, come, come.
48:49
Speaker 2: We hold the media reach so fast to see she climb in over defense.
48:53
Speaker 2: This is something that, if she wanted to do this quickly, she could have climbed over defense.
48:57
Speaker 2: Nappa big, sappa big.
48:58
Speaker 2: You could have climbed over defense wherever you went right by, where the entrances call the media say hey, come on.
49:05
Speaker 2: Excuse, uh, samson nantana, you are kai samuru, who's just just a sombrano.
49:10
Speaker 2: Come, come a minute and you will call them on the camera and then you're gonna jump defense.
49:15
Speaker 2: I want to know what would happen if you didn't learn hard but listen when he is a legend in this life.
49:22
Speaker 2: Which bads your partner?
49:23
Speaker 2: Was it legendary for people to want to storm your funeral?
49:27
Speaker 2: And I imagine you know what kind of newness to share?
49:29
Speaker 2: I was thinking when she pulled up by sappa.
49:58
Speaker 1: Hayey trap trap.
50:06
Speaker 1: Let me say when a bans yeah boy, we're the song's sweet.
50:10
Speaker 1: Oh, nah, nah, nah, nah.
50:07

50:52
Speaker 2: My grandma always used to say I feel bad, but I'm all fool with you.
50:57
Speaker 2: Tell me yourself now.
50:58
Speaker 2: I can't believe she knew that, honestly.
51:00
Speaker 2: And who?
51:01
Speaker 2: The next one, named Hamil Smith-Benj.
51:02
Speaker 2: You could see he didn't wanna do that too.
51:04
Speaker 2: You go and follow in woman, you know what I mean.
51:06
Speaker 2: Instead of you put on your father and say, nah, I good, I outside is no problem, and you know she.
51:12
Speaker 2: Pointing out because I think when she land she accept that she's a member of the public and pointing out look, even my son, he's a little hearty.
51:19
Speaker 2: Come on, come on.
51:20
Speaker 2: This is when you must always be aware in life when something is not about you and when something is not about you, don't go there and make it about yourself.
51:31
Speaker 2: You know, you know that she's one of them people who is it is.
51:34
Speaker 2: Invite them to a wedding and they come and propose or divorce and fight in your wedding.
51:37
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
51:38
Speaker 2: It's not about you.
51:39
Speaker 2: Hold a little back seat and come on, come on, come on.
51:43
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm moving on to something else that start this year.
51:46
Speaker 2: Anyway, this stuff weighs right.
51:48
Speaker 2: A little bit of foreign news for a change.
51:50
Speaker 2: Okay, my dear, lovely, my dear, this is foreign news for you.
51:53
Speaker 2: Let's say, cat Williams destroyed the whole internet to study here.
51:57
Speaker 2: I went back and I watched Pimp Chronicles.
52:02
Speaker 2: If you had time and you're into stand up comedy, go and watch Pimp Chronicles and we will understand why Cat Williams is easily one of the funniest people in the world.
52:10
Speaker 2: But Cat Williams, where anybody who was following went on Club Shashi, which is Shannon Smith, our best titan ever from Baltimore Ravens.
52:19
Speaker 2: And here we have a podcast with Ocho Sinko, and that man had a podcast with Cat Williams which is one of the funniest and most controversial.
52:31
Speaker 2: How much he reached.
52:33
Speaker 2: I think it's 40 million views in just a week.
52:36
Speaker 2: So if people follow him in type interviews, birdman and his breakfast club must be 10 million or 20 million.
52:44
Speaker 2: This man done passed that and Birdman must be.
52:46
Speaker 2: 5-6 or 8 years ago, kevin Hart, steve Harvey, I don't think Shannon Sharp asked a question and then Cat Williams talked for about 3 hours and it was impressive to see.
53:07
Speaker 2: But more than that, the stand up comedy that Cat Williams is do is some of the funniest stuff ever.
53:12
Speaker 2: I went back to it and took some of them over the week and I had to tell you over the Christmas I had checked off one of my bucket list activities, one of the things you know well.
53:32
Speaker 2: One of my bucket list activities was I told you all that early in December or middle of November I went to some partners in the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, florida, to see Bilbo.
53:46
Speaker 2: Bilbo to me is one of the greatest comedians they ever had and in going to that and experiencing that for the first time seeing Bilbo and Dean Delray one of the best nights of my life with some good friends and good company and good show I can only see tickets for the great Dave Chappelle.
54:03
Speaker 2: In December I wanted to check out one of my bucket list activities and I went between the Christmas and New Years to see Dave Chappelle live in person at the Hard Rock Cafe in Miami.
54:16
Speaker 2: It was one of the best experiences of my life.
54:18
Speaker 2: I done hear Mr Luces in my head talking about 1% in this podcast.
54:24
Speaker 2: Is 1% in this for the next 15-20 minutes?
54:26
Speaker 2: Let me save you that comment, right?
54:31
Speaker 2: I didn't get tickets off the gate.
54:38
Speaker 2: I had to get them at resale value.
54:40
Speaker 2: It was very expensive and I had just come back from Miami to see how to get a long face home.
54:45
Speaker 2: You know how to get a long face home and so on, but we went and saw Dave Chappelle live and in person.
54:54
Speaker 2: Donald Rawlings was open for Dave Chappelle, who I also love.
54:58
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see that.
55:04
Speaker 2: So if you go to Dave Chappelle now on Netflix, you will see a special called the Dreamer.
55:12
Speaker 2: That was the show I was able to go and see in person.
55:15
Speaker 2: Now, the one that he did on Netflix, that was done in DC.
55:20
Speaker 2: Right, that was recorded in DC, but that is the material he was touring.
55:25
Speaker 2: It came out on December 1st, december 2nd.
55:29
Speaker 2: We went a couple days before that, so it would be the last days of the tour and then he released it on Olia's Day.
55:34
Speaker 2: And if you have another chance, go and watch Dreamer, because it is Chappelle is one of the greatest.
55:40
Speaker 2: I have.
55:42
Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle and Bilbo as one and two in any audience.
55:45
Speaker 2: Stand up comedy.
55:45
Speaker 2: I love stand up comedy.
55:47
Speaker 2: I always say the first profession.
55:51
Speaker 2: I remember somebody asked me where I want to do for a living.
55:54
Speaker 2: The first thing I remember saying was I want to be a comedian.
55:56
Speaker 2: So I love stand up comedy and I have those two guys as my top two and in two months, in 2023, I was able to go and see both of them in person.
56:03
Speaker 2: So amazing experiences.
56:06
Speaker 2: Thanks to my friends at Muno, os Muno and Juan for coming along.
56:11
Speaker 2: I mean, it was an ill advised, expensive, but we do it anyway.
56:17
Speaker 2: One life to live, right?
56:19
Speaker 2: What do you, man, say?
56:19
Speaker 2: What do you make yourself say One life to live, I'll live it.
56:22
Speaker 2: I needed to run away and take the run away and I went, and I want to say that first things first.
56:28
Speaker 2: Donald Rollings was the funniest on the night.
56:30
Speaker 2: It was gut busted how much he laughed when Donald Rollings was on stage Way funnier than Dave Chappelle at the time.
56:37
Speaker 2: So if you find the dreamer good, you have to see the date of Donald Rollings when he comes out in February.
56:43
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if the material he was doing that night will be in his Netflix special, but I hope it is, because it is ridiculously funny.
56:50
Speaker 2: If you don't know Donald Rollings, I can't be the one who used to say I'm rich bitch.
56:54
Speaker 2: That's him, right.
56:55
Speaker 2: Terrible impression, right, but he was real good.
56:58
Speaker 2: He might have done about 20 minutes.
57:00
Speaker 2: Then a DJ played for a while and Dave Chappelle came on.
57:02
Speaker 2: So what you saw on Netflix or what you're going to watch on Netflix is the same material that was done on the night we were there, but it's not the same Dave Chappelle that was on the night.
57:15
Speaker 2: He was there because I want to tell you that Dave Chappelle was very drunk and very high when he came on stage.
57:22
Speaker 2: Right, I was talking about Manning and Pandey being orators.
57:26
Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle is one of my favorite orators.
57:27
Speaker 2: I don't think he's the funniest guy in the world, but he's the best storyteller I've come across because he tells the most benign ridiculous stories that you clearly made up.
57:38
Speaker 2: It's like if you're just talking and somewhere in there you have a punchline that's ridiculously funny, sometimes very obvious, and you still can't see it coming.
57:49
Speaker 2: And even when he talks about serious things, like when he talks about George Floyd or him trying to get back his special from Comedy Central and Netflix, the Parties that's how he got to get back his rights to his show.
58:07
Speaker 2: He's European completely with stories, and I saw it live on the night how quiet the arenas get when he started telling stories.
58:14
Speaker 2: That's song in serious, and one of the worst thing it has is you ever meet somebody who you don't know if they're joking or they're serious.
58:21
Speaker 2: Everything they say is like they're talking, like they're serious, so you don't know if they're serious or they're joking.
58:25
Speaker 2: It's hard to figure them out.
58:27
Speaker 2: Shepel is definitely one of them people, but Shepel was very drunk and very high as a reto you don't be fumbling over words and slurring your words that much.
58:38
Speaker 2: He was all over the place.
58:40
Speaker 2: I want to say that it was not.
58:41
Speaker 2: It was not great showing.
58:42
Speaker 2: It was not a great experience, as much as it was a bucket listing and I'm very, very happy I did it.
58:49
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that I'm not going to do it again.
58:52
Speaker 2: I'm not spending that kind of money to go and see Dave Shepel.
58:55
Speaker 2: I find, as much as I love Dave Shepel and he's an icon to me and the best to ever do it I find you have a responsibility to your audience.
59:03
Speaker 2: One of your responsibilities is to land the plane.
59:06
Speaker 2: You can't make people show up like that.
59:09
Speaker 2: You know travel is Airbnb, is money.
59:13
Speaker 2: It's expensive to get there on a night and then you inebriate.
59:18
Speaker 2: It is not your best.
59:19
Speaker 2: I don't like that.
59:20
Speaker 2: I find you had to come and give me the best show I could possibly get Again.
59:24
Speaker 2: Dave Shepel would be once in a lifetime type stuff.
59:27
Speaker 2: So I was talking about this would be, on, say, while you in Miami right, I was telling you about this deal, they had considering going and see Beyonce when you get a chance to see greatness, you had to see it, right.
59:36
Speaker 2: But the answer when he had tickets for $400 on something dollars where you could only listen, you can't.
59:40
Speaker 2: You can't see the stage.
59:41
Speaker 2: And I admired like looking up Beyonce show and how much night she was performing in different places, because I think of myself, number one, you had a real take yourself.
59:52
Speaker 2: You can't get no flu.
59:53
Speaker 2: You can't get sick in any way.
59:54
Speaker 2: You had to take care of your voice.
59:56
Speaker 2: You had to take care of your body because she's dancing and doing a whole performance.
59:59
Speaker 2: And when you're doing two hours solid on a stage every night for weeks at a time, oh, you look at usher, who do our Vegas residency usher.
1:00:09
Speaker 2: Usher gets slimming.
1:00:10
Speaker 2: You only watch usher doing that and troubling people, woman and all these guys and keep kicking power and trouble and all these kinds of which man that hard to do.
1:00:18
Speaker 2: To be able to do that, you had to take care of yourself.
1:00:21
Speaker 2: Make sure that you got a whole team of wrongies so that you show up because, while you're doing that every night and it's like second nature to you and repetitive and you could do it on autopilot the personal pay to come to see you that night, that is a once in a lifetime moment or activity or bucket listing for them so you can show up drunk, forgetting the jokes, mixing up the punchline.
1:00:43
Speaker 2: You sit down when he's too late, nearly halfway fall off and, yes, those are not even the reasons are not going back because, to tell you the truth, seeing Dave Chappelle drunk and high on stage is good enough, like just seeing him.
1:00:56
Speaker 2: I good with that, and if he wasn't, he kept saying this is not going well because it wasn't as funny as he had planned it to be.
1:01:02
Speaker 2: Definitely wasn't as funny as where you're seeing on Netflix now, but even seeing Dave Chappelle, balmo or Ghebu would be fun for me.
1:01:09
Speaker 2: You know I really didn't like the night before that.
1:01:12
Speaker 2: Now, when you go to these shows, there's a little thing called a yonder pouch, right, why you end the hour?
1:01:17
Speaker 2: You had a lineup and go and get one of them.
1:01:19
Speaker 2: Pouch here to take off your phone and put it in the pouch and the pouch lock this, lock it to tell device, right, it's a little new printing, but you watch everything, any device, your AirPods, all them thing.
1:01:30
Speaker 2: They take you know and they put it in that and they lock in it and they hand you keeping it right.
1:01:34
Speaker 2: They're not keeping your phone.
1:01:35
Speaker 2: So everybody phone locked away.
1:01:37
Speaker 2: You cannot record, you cannot make a call, you can't take a picture.
1:01:40
Speaker 2: So I have no evidence that I was in this Dave Chappelle show.
1:01:44
Speaker 2: No modern day evidence.
1:01:45
Speaker 2: You know, in today's world if you didn't post it didn't really happen.
1:01:49
Speaker 2: We have no evidence that we were there.
1:01:51
Speaker 2: But I like the idea doing that number one because them comedians, edgy both, well, all of them, all of them Dean Delray was edgy, bilbo, donald Rawlings and Dave Chappelle, all them very, very edgy and saying very, very egregious things, right.
1:02:06
Speaker 2: So recording that and putting it all would not have gone well.
1:02:09
Speaker 2: If you don't think there's backlash from Chappelle, from that special is a joke compared to what it would have be if somebody recorded that Florida show and put it out.
1:02:18
Speaker 2: Right, it would be, it would be bad.
1:02:20
Speaker 2: But they lock away all this stuff.
1:02:22
Speaker 2: And then what I like about it as well is that it gives you an immersive experience where there's no texting, there's no checking your phone.
1:02:31
Speaker 2: It's not taking to check the time.
1:02:32
Speaker 2: You just there with seven thousand other people in the arena, but it's just, and for me it's just me and Edmond on JP.
1:02:38
Speaker 2: We just there together, laughing and having a good time.
1:02:41
Speaker 2: I like the underpouch thing because of that.
1:02:44
Speaker 2: It allows you to just forget everything else and just enjoy the show.
1:02:48
Speaker 2: This is all you focused on at that time.
1:02:50
Speaker 2: So it's no, it's undivided attention.
1:02:52
Speaker 2: Remember this is tell it in primary school.
1:02:53
Speaker 2: I want your undivided attention.
1:02:54
Speaker 2: It make him a feel like when I'm, when I have any lime home here and think I was some young the pouch to buy, I wonder if you could get young the pouch.
1:03:02
Speaker 2: You know me because I don't really party here.
1:03:06
Speaker 2: No, it was Stacy really party last year and it's take a little while for parties to pick up when it only have a little better people.
1:03:13
Speaker 2: And one of the reasons in today's world is because everybody who come in when you're feeling awkward about socializing, the first thing people is do is go to the phone.
1:03:22
Speaker 2: People is be so in other words, you're taking yourself away from the place rather than getting more into the place or do anything that you come to do.
1:03:29
Speaker 2: It's kind of weird and I talk about myself to.
1:03:32
Speaker 2: I do it all the time.
1:03:33
Speaker 2: If I go out socially awkward I don't want to be there I tend to pull out my phone and start using the phone and that kind of thing.
1:03:39
Speaker 2: Well, worse again, I like to put my AirPods in my eyes and pretend me and they're completely.
1:03:43
Speaker 2: I go in the gym me.
1:03:44
Speaker 2: I cannot eye contact with nobody, I just want to do my workouts and get.
1:03:47
Speaker 2: But I like this immersive thing.
1:03:48
Speaker 2: So I was a me on the pouch.
1:03:50
Speaker 2: So don't be surprised if you come by me for a little lime and I'll lock up everybody, phone and force with a fat the way we use the fat when they use the house on like this.
1:03:59
Speaker 2: She give me one injection in my midsection and I did enough to pay.
1:04:31
Speaker 2: Then she give me something and then the swallow fever gone right away.
1:04:36
Speaker 1: One injection in my midsection and I did enough to pay.
1:04:39
Speaker 1: Then she give me something and then the swallow fever gone right away.
1:04:42
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my workout and I'm gonna do my workout and then the swallow fever gone right away.
1:04:59
Speaker 1: Like this I'm gonna do my workout and I did enough to pay, then she give me something and then the swallow fever gone right away.
1:05:17
Speaker 2: I just wanna play some classics for you.
1:05:18
Speaker 2: That not saying I drink a bottle of rum and I wind down low and I walk with my cooler any further.
1:05:23
Speaker 2: The reason I'm not going back to Dave Chappelle show is because the night before we were there we liked to get in with our phone with.
1:05:34
Speaker 2: That wasn't a knee on the pouch.
1:05:35
Speaker 2: If your phone was to ring any show or emergency you have to come out there and go back in front and then there's a locket and you could make a call and then to come back in.
1:05:45
Speaker 2: You had a locket again.
1:05:46
Speaker 2: Me know what he do, but he end up in the waiting for and he was recording and Dave Chappelle see him recording, talk about it and walk off the stage, never to come back about half hour into a show that should be an hour or something.
1:05:59
Speaker 2: I'm not going back to Dave Chappelle show again.
1:06:02
Speaker 2: I don't see why.
1:06:03
Speaker 2: I understand his rant about it, but I think Dave Chappelle reached the point now where there's a couple of things.
1:06:09
Speaker 2: He so much into the craft and the art of talking and saying whatever he wants and don't let nobody stop you and don't let nobody send you and stuff, which is fine.
1:06:16
Speaker 2: But you get so caught up in that you know that you walk out on a show and make 6999 people pay for the activities of one person, and I'm saying one person being the person who filming which is not right, but also the people who are wrong and who could I say, hey, don't film, or call it out, which I don't know if I would have called it out either.
1:06:39
Speaker 2: If I know you go walk off the stage and not come back and dies it, I can't get my money back.
1:06:42
Speaker 2: You know much money it cost me to go to a show.
1:06:44
Speaker 2: And then is the failings of your own people who outside supposed to be seeing about this pouch, because apparently Chappelle is part owner of this eonder thing.
1:06:52
Speaker 2: So if your own people miss the phone, the man walking, and I must fly quite from Trinidad to come there when my wife was on vex already, I don't leave her already between Christmas and New Year's to see a show and then you could simply walk off the stage because you and like what is your child, I need to understand if this man is a chiren or if he's adult.
1:07:13
Speaker 2: That is not the way to handle that.
1:07:15
Speaker 2: Of course, if you get upset you walk off whatever, but come and get the people they show they pay for that.
1:07:20
Speaker 2: Not, I can't imagine and I can't understand why.
1:07:22
Speaker 2: He's not a big guy, but of course when everybody else phone locked up, nobody can tweet that or put it on Instagram while it happened and show that I spent my ex among the money and Chappelle walk off the stage.
1:07:33
Speaker 2: The other thing, too, is I saw the reviews about the Dreamers and they're not great and part of the thing about the Dreamers I remember at the closer, which I did a long thing on, go back to whatever episode that was and talk about the closer being special just before the Dreamer and it was a masterpiece.
1:07:49
Speaker 2: But he ended that by saying he's not talking about trans people, no more, he's not making jokes about the LGBT community unless he know we both laughing and then he do a whole special that was basically about the LGBT community and saying in this special that I don't need to laugh at you all.
1:08:04
Speaker 2: I was funny long before.
1:08:06
Speaker 2: You all talk about this idea man being a woman and so on, and I part of the feeling like that is true.
1:08:12
Speaker 2: There's no dispute in how funny Dave Chappelle was long before trans jokes, right.
1:08:16
Speaker 2: But I make him wonder, like, why are you still talking?
1:08:19
Speaker 2: Why he do a whole set about handicapped people, which is very, very funny, right, and it was a parallel he was drawing, basically to say that, listen, I could laugh at handicapped people, but then the handicapped people will be upset.
1:08:30
Speaker 2: In other words, everything funny until it happened to you, until is you dealing with it, which is all well and good, but I just find it was overdone.
1:08:38
Speaker 2: And if it is your, for the last six specials that is, our main topic is almost like now you could predict exactly what Chappelle will talk about.
1:08:49
Speaker 2: He was talking about OJ Michael Jackson, handicapped people who talk about politicians.
1:08:53
Speaker 2: It's again so predictable and again I still have him as one of the greatest I ever do it.
1:09:01
Speaker 2: But I see somebody describe it with a way I agree with, where Chappelle starting to become an old man who is shouting at the clouds.
1:09:07
Speaker 2: You know, I mean it's time to make me wonder, like when we go back to the greatness that is just Chappelle, just talk about other things.
1:09:13
Speaker 2: I don't think it's worth the hassle and worth all of it.
1:09:15
Speaker 2: And the last part, before moving on from this last part, that I don't like is.
1:09:19
Speaker 2: I remember him doing a long thing on YouTube talking about how Comedy Central robbed him and he was a child signing his contract on the duress and they make him think and they had a controller with image and likeness through the universe and all that sounded very oppressive to me and opportunistic by people who learn a youth man signing a contract like that so early in his career.
1:09:42
Speaker 2: But the truth is also that he signed it and he was upset about it.
1:09:46
Speaker 2: He walked away from the 50 million which we had to hear all the time.
1:09:49
Speaker 2: Now I wonder what is the present value of that 50 million that he walked away from, because he should update it.
1:09:54
Speaker 2: We hear about that all the time.
1:09:56
Speaker 2: And he was talking about Comedy Central not wanting to renegotiate or come back to the table and talk about Chappelle show, although it did way better than they expected to do with just two seasons and all that.
1:10:11
Speaker 2: And then Netflix got the rights to show the comedy, the Chappelle show, along with HBO and he was thanking the people at Netflix for standing in solidarity with him and all that and he helped him get back and now he gets back and feels great.
1:10:25
Speaker 2: So I was really surprised to hear him saying that when we went, it's not on the dream or on Netflix, but while we were there in Florida this man is talking about Netflix, oppressing him.
1:10:35
Speaker 2: Now he's like thank god, this is his final special on Netflix and he don't want to do it.
1:10:40
Speaker 2: So now you're seasoned not a little child, a daughter, signing a contract.
1:10:44
Speaker 2: Now you could afford the best lawyers in the world.
1:10:46
Speaker 2: You have all the leverage in the world, and again in our country.
1:10:50
Speaker 2: It just sounds a little bit petulant and like a child and I love stand-up comedy but I'm really just there to laugh.
1:10:58
Speaker 2: I like that his laughs have some deeper meaning behind it, like it's trying to dissect Jay-Z rhymes.
1:11:04
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
1:11:04
Speaker 2: When Jay-Z put together a song, he's taking a little bit of thinking to hear where he coming from or what was the angle, and double on 200 and triple on 200 and all that kind of thing.
1:11:14
Speaker 2: I like crafty writing and delivery in stand-up comedy, but when I get to be too serious and I rant, I just want a little escape and I want to watch that and I just want to find it funny and sometimes I don't know if he joking.
1:11:29
Speaker 2: You know I mean some of this thing with Netflix and who keeping him back and who oppressing him and that kind of thing, I mean, is enough.
1:11:35
Speaker 2: But anyway, talking about Netflix, there's something that I think everybody should take in as well.
1:11:38
Speaker 2: Netflix has a special called Captains of the World.
1:11:41
Speaker 2: I don't know if people do this for the sports folks.
1:11:43
Speaker 2: Right, captains of the World is one of the best series I see in a long time, and I'm a man who only watch repeats, right, I look into see what I see already, basically, when I saw the thing.
1:11:56
Speaker 2: This Captains of the World is basically following all the captains of the teams who were in the World Cup and looking at it from their perspective.
1:12:04
Speaker 2: I still have, I think, two episodes.
1:12:05
Speaker 2: It's just six episodes.
1:12:07
Speaker 2: Right, the cinematography, the storytelling, the fact that there's so many different languages they're talking.
1:12:12
Speaker 2: I hope there's something that FIFA and Netflix, or whoever gonna carry it, continue to do throughout, where you could follow what addressing room was like or what it was like on field, or hear from a man who missed a penalty or what the coach response was.
1:12:26
Speaker 2: But, most importantly for this series, what did the captains say, or how they were looking at it, how they were approaching the game?
1:12:31
Speaker 2: All those plans of what are they gonna do about Cristiano Ronaldo?
1:12:34
Speaker 2: What are they gonna do about Messi?
1:12:35
Speaker 2: A real good series on Netflix that everybody should take, and I especially invested in it because I really want to see when our captain reached the.
1:12:44
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
1:12:46
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Otis Whitley, as I think I went back in time for a minute.
1:12:49
Speaker 2: There was our captain now name again the man playing full back for Trent, not full back now, he playing center back for Trent, and I remember the name just now.
1:12:56
Speaker 2: But in other news that I want to make sure that we know.
1:12:59
Speaker 2: And the reason why I highlighted this captain series, because we gonna feature in this in 2026, because finally somebody getting thing right and Angus Eve has been reappointed as the coach of Trinidad and Tobago's national team and a two year contract.
1:13:16
Speaker 2: He was looking at dicey for a while now.
1:13:17
Speaker 2: So TNT coach Eve gets two year contract extension from Haddad.
1:13:22
Speaker 2: We're excited for the future.
1:13:23
Speaker 2: Trinidad is from why they take say it by Lissana Leibow.
1:13:26
Speaker 2: I want to say Trinidad because men senior senior team head coach Angus Eve will lead the Soco Warriors into the 2026 World Cup qualifying series after he was granted a two year extension by the FIFA appointed normalization committee.
1:13:40
Speaker 2: The decision is an about to normalize on normalization committee chairman Robert Haddad's initial stance that the new TTFA board would decide on the future of the head coach.
1:13:49
Speaker 2: So sometimes soon, I want to say, is in February they're supposed to be elections that will replace Haddad as the normalization committee and then we'll be back to having a president and have some more independence or autonomous decision making for our local football.
1:14:07
Speaker 2: Oh, looky, have it right here.
1:14:08
Speaker 2: Normalization committees tenure expires in March, at which point the TTFA is due to elect a president and board as such.
1:14:14
Speaker 2: Last September, eve was handed a contract that expired in March.
1:14:18
Speaker 2: Haddad and follow committee members Nigel Romano, trevor, nicholas Gomez after public lobbying, naive and a positive string of results by the Warriors, announced fresh terms today.
1:14:26
Speaker 2: Quote there what Eve and his staff and the players have been able to achieve is commendable.
1:14:32
Speaker 2: Haddad to the TTFA media, the normalization committees 10 years winding down, and we have been consistent with a cautious approach in negotiation of contractual agreements with staff beyond our time.
1:14:42
Speaker 2: We met with Angus, explained our position and discussed plans for the future.
1:14:46
Speaker 2: Angus has led the team extremely well and we believe that we have been able to settle on a new agreement that is a win-win in the best interests of the association and Angus, it's critical that any agreement allowed for each party to be protected, said Haddad, and so the association has little or no risk of making missteps as in the past, which resulted in significant unpaid debts to coaches, team members and suppliers.
1:15:13
Speaker 2: Presumably, the TTFA membership would have to wait until they reclaim the reins of local football body because they could gauge the strengths of Eve's contracts.
1:15:21
Speaker 2: So Eve there for the next two years.
1:15:24
Speaker 2: That is a long and short story.
1:15:25
Speaker 2: So it means that we are going to be there in the 2026 World Cup.
1:15:29
Speaker 2: The results that he's been getting over the last few tournaments and games it looks promising after I find like we have a team that have some fight in them and even when we looking like we are losing positions, we are able to fight and battle our way back into games and battle our way into winning positions.
1:15:51
Speaker 2: We be the states the other day.
1:15:53
Speaker 2: That is always our win, even though it's a losing effort to be the states, and we have a playoff in March.
1:16:00
Speaker 2: I believe that could put us back in Copa America for the first time.
1:16:06
Speaker 2: So Eve has quoted here saying I'm delighted to have the opportunity to continue to serve the country in a positive manner.
1:16:12
Speaker 2: Hopefully we can develop and harness the young talent that we have to give ourselves the best opportunity to qualify for another World Cup.
1:16:18
Speaker 2: We're excited for the future as we head into World Cup qualification years.
1:16:21
Speaker 2: So this year you're going to see World Cup qualifiers coming out and it will be the beginning of the filming of Trinidad and Tobago Leg to be a Netflix Captain Series when we head to the 2026 World Cup.
1:16:37
Speaker 2: I like how Eve has been building the team around younger players.
1:16:42
Speaker 2: I was glad to see in an article recently as well.
1:16:45
Speaker 2: He highlighted the fact that Kevin Molino, who is a little bit of a sore point, you know I mean he gets squeezed out of the national team or you get dropped or he retire or whichever one of the things that you want to go with right and people like Joven Jones you know that that whole squad, kaleem Highlander, believe, was on that list as well.
1:17:06
Speaker 2: They're not featuring for the national team and I feel them, fellas, have a lot of experience, a lot of skill and plenty to offer in local games and so I was glad to see if you've come out and said that listen them, fellas, and them could come in anytime.
1:17:16
Speaker 2: They're good to go in my books.
1:17:18
Speaker 2: Let we come and let we talk and let we merge the foundation players with the youths.
1:17:23
Speaker 2: That we have is the most you could ask for.
1:17:25
Speaker 2: But we head into the World Cup.
1:17:27
Speaker 2: I just want to make sure that we put out there.
1:17:28
Speaker 2: I could go back to the next song.
1:17:30
Speaker 2: They say that I find bad to.
1:17:31
Speaker 2: I hate to harp on Farmer Nappy all the time, but I like him a lot and this song is by GBM Neutron and Farmer Nappy.
1:17:39
Speaker 2: I want to see that GBM.
1:17:40
Speaker 2: So this song is not necessarily a Borena concept.
1:17:46
Speaker 2: That was wrong for a long time.
1:17:47
Speaker 2: But if you listen carefully to the bass line you will hear something that you have heard before.
1:17:53
Speaker 2: And GBM Neutron is a very, very bad artist.
1:17:55
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how come his name never comes up as one of the top guys most consistent, solid hits every year, quality production every year.
1:18:06
Speaker 2: It's kind of stranger his name never coming up there as the best of them when he is one of the best of them, gbm Neutron alongside Faman up.
1:18:14
Speaker 2: Listen to the bass line and tell me if it ring a bell.
1:18:48
Speaker 1: Now I wanna get on bad.
1:18:49
Speaker 1: Two Now I wanna jam in the center.
1:18:52
Speaker 1: Three Tell away you're penalty back.
1:18:54
Speaker 1: Four, I wanna jam on your bumper.

1:19:39
Speaker 1: Come, girl, I want to take a piece.
1:19:41
Speaker 1: When I get this feeling this feeling is no trouble, let me start the back and I'll Come cut your foot with you to an onion head.
1:19:54
Speaker 1: We come out here ready to run this red, a trunk with bread and a do-a-see-no-pe.
1:20:02
Speaker 1: Nobody can tell me to stop.
1:20:09
Speaker 2: Hey, girl, go down go down, go down in the center.
1:20:11
Speaker 2: I tell all the other listeners real new music and I keep learning back here Savage, savage, savage, two Savage.

1:21:45

1:22:09
Speaker 1: Nicaraguan is only known to keep his possession.
1:22:14
Speaker 1: Nicaraguan is only known to keep his possession.
1:22:17
Speaker 1: Nicaraguan is only known to keep his possession.
1:22:25
Speaker 2: This is Gary Vanduia.
1:22:26
Speaker 2: I try, I try.
1:22:36
Speaker 2: How do I really try?
1:22:37
Speaker 2: My best.
1:22:38
Speaker 2: I'm a mess Way to go from here.
1:22:41
Speaker 2: Crime, listen again, hard and hard.
1:22:42
Speaker 2: I tell you all again, hard and hard.
1:22:44
Speaker 2: I come here and not talk about crime.
1:22:45
Speaker 2: The whole time I saw a blogger from Barbada, somebody we should know, a woman by the name of Babzi.
1:22:51
Speaker 2: If you know strictly Babzi, you know what I mean.
1:22:53
Speaker 2: Babzi has been a commentator and a contributor to the culture for as long as I could remember, or, of course, from Beijing to talking about Crop Over and so on, but very, very influential in the kind of all circles and Trinidad and so on.
1:23:07
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
1:23:07
Speaker 2: Babzi's been around, so this is not a fly by night person saying this, right?
1:23:12
Speaker 2: So I want to read for you our Instagram posts that she made recently.
1:23:15
Speaker 2: It's by strictly Babzi, it says over the last two weeks I've been asked the question over and over again.
1:23:20
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago my answer would be different Babzi, is Trinidad kind of a safe for me to travel to?
1:23:27
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago I would have said yes, but be careful.
1:23:31
Speaker 2: Right now it hurts my heart and soul to say what I really feel.
1:23:34
Speaker 2: Anyone that knows me knows I wear the Trinidad and Tobago flag on my sleeve.
1:23:39
Speaker 2: I believe that to be very, very true.
1:23:41
Speaker 2: When you say Babzi, you have to say TNT, my second home, my second love in life.
1:23:49
Speaker 2: I even tell people I am from Maraval as a joke, but I also know you all.
1:23:54
Speaker 2: Look to me for the truth Always.
1:23:57
Speaker 2: I never want to be a person that smooth things over and make it look good and then something goes bad.
1:24:02
Speaker 2: I was taking hard and want the utmost best experience for each and every single one of you.
1:24:09
Speaker 2: There's been crime in Trinidad and Tobago for a while now and that was generally targeted Not rightfully but truthfully.
1:24:16
Speaker 2: Recently, recent events we're Trinidad Trini Bad Artist and gang members are in a serious rivalry.
1:24:23
Speaker 2: Port of Spain is not safe.
1:24:24
Speaker 2: These men will roll up on each other anywhere they get the chance to.
1:24:28
Speaker 2: Large events, small events, it does not matter.
1:24:32
Speaker 2: The violence is on site.
1:24:33
Speaker 2: These youngsters are reckless with no regards for human life.
1:24:38
Speaker 2: Innocent bystanders have lost their lives.
1:24:40
Speaker 2: These men are on social media lives laughing at who lost their lives and talking about who next.
1:24:46
Speaker 2: Kid Raleigh does not have a grasp on this situation.
1:24:49
Speaker 2: He is literally like a dead headlight right now.
1:24:52
Speaker 2: He has no plan and he has nothing implemented to guarantee safety.
1:24:56
Speaker 2: At this time you cannot tell who is in a gang from who is not.
1:24:59
Speaker 2: The man standing beside you buying a corn soup could be six, seven or eight.
1:25:05
Speaker 2: All these are gangs in Trinidad, or all these gangs.
1:25:09
Speaker 2: All these gangs are all in retaliation mode right now.
1:25:14
Speaker 2: Had it not been for the recent slain of some of them, I would not be as concerned.
1:25:17
Speaker 2: I don't want to impact Trinidad kind of all by any means, but I can't be dishonest and say that safety is a huge concern right now.
1:25:25
Speaker 2: No one is safe in Port of Spain, licensed gun holders or not.
1:25:29
Speaker 2: I would pass on Trinidad kind of all this here.
1:25:32
Speaker 2: I need you all to live long and be prosperous.
1:25:34
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm stabbing myself for saying this.
1:25:37
Speaker 2: That is a little violent, babsy.
1:25:39
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm stabbing myself for saying this.
1:25:42
Speaker 2: But folks, I would pass on this here.
1:25:44
Speaker 2: No, this make it wrongs right, because everybody, of course, m-y-o-b and the other blogs in Trinidad are Soka Watchers and all of them, all of them repost this from Babsy and the comments went wild, like people saying basically, every country have its crime and thing and why you don't stay out of people business or live from Barbados, barbados have its crime and people said a quote Barbados crime statistics now and talk about you know what I mean, almost as if she's saying something that not true or something that all of us not thinking.
1:26:18
Speaker 2: I think she's spot on and she absolutely right on several counts here, because, number one, I live in here and I always talk about you know what I mean.
1:26:30
Speaker 2: People who live in abroad, especially Trinidadians who live in abroad, ask me about the crime thing all the time, right, and I usually say, well, that thing I mean me involving nothing.
1:26:41
Speaker 2: I'm my usual response to the thing I say me involving nothing, nobody in coming to shoot me, me, I know, set a thing for nobody to come to rob and so on, right, but I know you are, like me, becoming more and more concerned about this crime situation and it does not matter whether you're involved in six or made nine or 10.
1:26:57
Speaker 2: It don't matter.
1:26:59
Speaker 2: The reality is that, as Babsie rightly say, I could be just buying a little corn soup.
1:27:04
Speaker 2: I could be going anywhere, all the, all, the, all the doing anything anywhere.
1:27:08
Speaker 2: This is, this is no longer a specific situation when you find yourself in the wrong area and people could say, basically, well, what you was doing there, where you going up in the areas and lying.
1:27:19
Speaker 2: For a man like you here, it doesn't matter, it really don't matter, it's wherever, whenever.
1:27:24
Speaker 2: I think she's spot on to when she say, and she might be limited to this Trini bad thing, and I don't think it's just that, I think there are a lot of things that Trini bad might be a reflection or representation of it, and some of it is about the artist, but some of it I hear in for the first time.
1:27:39
Speaker 2: Me don't know who is.
1:27:39
Speaker 2: None of these people I see Monk Lambert, big, big, big.
1:27:42
Speaker 2: Any junction is shook up, ba, ba, ba, man dead.
1:27:45
Speaker 2: And feeba and a woman ballin or walk backward for all the middle.
1:27:49
Speaker 2: No, these people I don't know these names, so I will not know.
1:27:52
Speaker 2: And she talking as a Bayjan, right she joking and saying she live in Marvel.
1:27:56
Speaker 2: I'm from St James, right, st James here, and I can tell you that me ain't gonna know if I, next to feeba, buy another con soup.
1:28:03
Speaker 2: Feeba look like a normal youth man to me.
1:28:05
Speaker 2: I don't know who he is and I don't know training and what to do when shots start to fire or drop low and run as exact, but I don't know what to do.
1:28:14
Speaker 2: I am not trained in this thing.
1:28:16
Speaker 2: My first thing might be to freeze or to panic or to get low.
1:28:20
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
1:28:21
Speaker 2: And suppose I get low and mirrors in my family and get low.
1:28:24
Speaker 2: What will happen?
1:28:25
Speaker 2: So when I hear somebody like this again, not unsolicited advice I wanna be clear that she is somebody who is in and around carnival and not just Trinidad carnival, every carnival in and around Sukam music, the quintessential Caribbean person.
1:28:41
Speaker 2: When you hear somebody like this saying something, it's dice, not the time to climb up and say well, why is she saying?
1:28:47
Speaker 2: Why is she talking about me?
1:28:48
Speaker 2: Why is she talking about me?
1:28:49
Speaker 2: Dice, not the time to climb up, dice the time to listen.
1:28:51
Speaker 2: Because if dice how we being seen and I will I would say number one export outside of oil and gas.
1:28:57
Speaker 2: I mean number one expo, because we don't want oil and gas.
1:29:00
Speaker 2: One of the most important things our economy, our culture, our identity and so on is under threat by people who have no concern or care for what it is.
1:29:09
Speaker 2: They I want to go as far as to say they're too young to even understand the long-term ramifications, or what is they doing they're living for today.
1:29:17
Speaker 2: That's one of my biggest fears.
1:29:19
Speaker 2: You're looking at people who don't see more for their life.
1:29:23
Speaker 2: They just see the life as what it is.
1:29:24
Speaker 2: They, you're still gonna block right through.
1:29:27
Speaker 2: Well, you know you could go and see Dave Chappelle and watch him walk out and so on.
1:29:30
Speaker 2: They have so much to live for.
1:29:31
Speaker 2: You know your children could pass for nice school and go on to be nice things and your children could be prime minister, and you know what I mean.
1:29:38
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that they have this bigger vision for life as a whole, because to me, if you have a bigger vision for your life, you start to value not just your life but you start to value other people's lives.
1:29:50
Speaker 2: I was remembering learning Maslow, hierarchy and needs.
1:29:53
Speaker 2: I'll only remember Maslow.
1:29:54
Speaker 2: We could go into the lecturing mode for a minute.
1:29:55
Speaker 2: Maslow have a hierarchy on needs, right, this psychological theory.
1:30:00
Speaker 2: You know Maslow was trying to write about what motivates people, what causes people to act, what gets you going in a certain direction, and he said it have five levels of needs.
1:30:10
Speaker 2: He draw it like a pyramid, right.
1:30:12
Speaker 2: The first level is physiological, meaning he needs the body, and what Maslow's saying is that when your body needs something, you're motivated to act towards that.
1:30:20
Speaker 2: In other words, if you're hungry sometimes you're hungry and you're careful.
1:30:24
Speaker 2: I remember something about intermittent fasting when I nearly died as I hear intermittent fasting, like I can't study nothing else but food.
1:30:32
Speaker 2: I just I'm so high Woo hungry when I watch this.
1:30:36
Speaker 2: Only nine o'clock me.
1:30:37
Speaker 2: I supposed to eat until 20 afternoon by a bus or by subway.
1:30:40
Speaker 2: You understand Maslow basically saying that if your body is telling you what you need and your motivation going to head in that direction, you're going to be focused on what to eat.
1:30:49
Speaker 2: He basically saying the next level is what he calls safety.
1:30:52
Speaker 2: So, in other words, as humanity, once you figure out where you're eating, the next thing will be is to protect it, to protect the source of the physiological thing.
1:31:01
Speaker 2: So if food, water, shelter, clothing and so on, that is the physiological, that is the body needs, the next thing you will look at is safety needs.
1:31:08
Speaker 2: You want to protect and preserve these things, right?
1:31:11
Speaker 2: So you got to go back down to that level.
1:31:12
Speaker 2: The next level is what he called love and belonging, right?
1:31:15
Speaker 2: So he basically saying that right now you know where you get any food, you know it's safe.
1:31:19
Speaker 2: Now you start to want to love and belong.
1:31:22
Speaker 2: So you're starting to see life as more than just your own selfish and innate needs, right?
1:31:26
Speaker 2: So, in other words, things like friendship, family, community groups and so on, you want a sense of connection to the people around you.
1:31:33
Speaker 2: After that, he has some called self-esteem, or what you used to call esteem needs, right?
1:31:37
Speaker 2: So esteem needs is about you starting to become your higher self.
1:31:41
Speaker 2: So you're looking at your confidence level, what achievements you make, respect for others and community, your uniqueness as an individual and so on comes as esteem needs.
1:31:49
Speaker 2: And then the pinnacle of this triangle is called self-actualization.
1:31:53
Speaker 2: When you start to recognize, like, what you're calling is what is your purpose, what is the meaning of your life, how do you impact the earth.
1:32:00
Speaker 2: So, people, when you're looking at self-actualization as being what Maslow called their highest self, then you start to think about legacy and you're living for your last name and not your first name, right?
1:32:11
Speaker 2: So Maslow had that hierarchy and he's a very real thing when you look at what Babsie talking about with these youths, and my fear with these youths, right, is that they seem to be focused on what Maslow called lower order needs, which is the physiological needs and the safety needs.
1:32:29
Speaker 2: They are, basically and Maslow was talking about those two being lower order needs and in next three, the love, the esteem and the self-actualization has been higher order needs and he was basically saying that if you are focused too low on this pyramid, you start to become a danger to yourself and society because you don't focus on tomorrow, you don't focus on the other, people are wrongly and realize that they are part of your achievements and so on.
1:32:54
Speaker 2: So you have a trini bad movement to isolate it to that right, you have a trini bad movement that could be so great in a global sense, but you all need each other to make it work.
1:33:05
Speaker 2: You can't think that the other people on the other side of these things is your enemies and they kill off the whole genre.
1:33:10
Speaker 2: And then you stand alone and you're not big enough to carry a genre by yourself.
1:33:14
Speaker 2: Although I'm questioning that when Marshall said he not coming out for carnival and like the whole genre for long, I don't understand.
1:33:21
Speaker 2: I'm questioning that a little bit.
1:33:23
Speaker 2: But you're not big enough to carry it by yourself.
1:33:25
Speaker 2: You need rivalries, you need the competitiveness.
1:33:28
Speaker 2: These are things that very, very important in building what you think you wanna build and Babsie didn't say this, but coming out from what she said, I started to wonder if the trini bad thing is about music at all.
1:33:39
Speaker 2: But, more importantly, the youth.
1:33:42
Speaker 2: The fee was the one who may and know me I'm frightened to call the name too the ones who may and know their face, may and know their name.
1:33:47
Speaker 2: Who is to say I, not just farmers market by the savannah, you pass and you get something.
1:33:52
Speaker 2: The other day they have a new little spot open, shaguanas.
1:33:56
Speaker 2: They were like churches, chicken, like a new little plaza open and I wanted to buy something and I saw on any car park they're eating Something to me.
1:34:04
Speaker 2: Boy, you don't eat here.
1:34:05
Speaker 2: No, head down the road.
1:34:06
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know that I'm any safer if I head down the road and I come home and eat, but I didn't feel good being in that car park because I just tell myself, suppose one of them pass now and the next one of them see them and then just sign to open up on the highway, on the byway, them don't care who they, them don't care who pass, as Babzi said, them, them discussing this on live after we think and we shoot.
1:34:30
Speaker 2: And the next one say yeah, but they're mess or they're think.
1:34:32
Speaker 2: And little girl, little girl, 70, oh, she is 90 or some kind of little child Coming from one of them fact I think it's tribe by some in the stadium or one of them, wherever fact it was, shoot out Arpeza Avenue, the after party spot after fact.
1:34:46
Speaker 2: Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, he gone or he hospital or wherever she did.
1:34:50
Speaker 2: And I seen people talk about the girl, he says and she was living faster.
1:34:53
Speaker 2: I don't care.
1:34:54
Speaker 2: I don't care about none of that.
1:34:55
Speaker 2: The fact that you could be living in a country where people comfortable, open fire in broad daylight or broad night light, and whoever get catch get catch.
1:35:07
Speaker 2: And who dead dead, one dead on the highway, you going about your business, you dead because them try to shoot one another.
1:35:14
Speaker 2: The man who them try to shoot still living.
1:35:16
Speaker 2: Now I have people to bury.
1:35:17
Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of society we live in on at all and as much as I come here to talk about the culture and I come here to talk about the music I love when it's rich kind of all the time, I can talk about that, but I think, babs, you're right for all the way who live in here and want to take the chance, in kind of all.
1:35:33
Speaker 2: We had to live right.
1:35:33
Speaker 2: So I don't get nobody wrong who play in mass, who go, in fact, I only say in both right and I don't know that they go in the fact.
1:35:40
Speaker 2: And he say for them, or more dangerous or less dangerous than going to church or going to school or going to work.
1:35:45
Speaker 2: It just random, and at the randomness of it, if I was seeing something like this God forbid in beautiful Barbados, I wasn't going, I wasn't going.
1:35:55
Speaker 2: The response to this is more worrying Because I don't think.
1:36:04
Speaker 2: I try my best not to come on rowly, rowly, rowly and ulla and them up the place because them as much as we need a response from them and we need drastic responses from them, they are not themselves responsible for crimes, they are not doing the crimes.
1:36:20
Speaker 2: It's not them who shoot randomly.
1:36:22
Speaker 2: But in terms of these systems and policies that will prevent people from feeling comfortable doing these things, we depend on them to make changes.
1:36:29
Speaker 2: So in terms of drastic changes, because if people go on first stage of emergency they say put the army on the street.
1:36:36
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I don't know enough crimes statistics to know what does work and what don't work and if something is just a show and I don't know.
1:36:44
Speaker 2: But at this point let me start this show.
1:36:48
Speaker 2: Let me start this show because let me tell you what not going on work right.
1:36:53
Speaker 2: Ulla Christopher quoted as saying appealing to citizens, help us save lives.
1:36:58
Speaker 2: Police Commissioner Ulla Christopher yesterday appeared again, appealed for help from the public to bring down the country's high murder rate.
1:37:06
Speaker 2: And you see the murder rate being used as a proxy for crime.
1:37:13
Speaker 2: I understand the idea right.
1:37:16
Speaker 2: If you can stop people from being murdered, it will look better for these statistics and all them kind of thing.
1:37:20
Speaker 2: Or if you can prevent them, take shooting is not necessarily murder.
1:37:25
Speaker 2: Like you said, nobody dead.
1:37:26
Speaker 2: We had to stop the brazen crime and the brazenness with which people feel they could take vengeance or take.
1:37:32
Speaker 2: We had to stop that.
1:37:34
Speaker 2: The house man kicking in the eyes of somebody right in Shogunas here going in the man hardware this is people working hard, them of our business going in the man beat up their grandfather.
1:37:45
Speaker 2: The people who open back the hardware.
1:37:47
Speaker 2: Yet how that could be, how that could be, what kind of society we have, and then what we're going to do.
1:37:52
Speaker 2: Some people on the road on Mondays and Tuesdays are annoyed that it feels so odd.
1:37:55
Speaker 2: I can't help but agree with Babzy.
1:37:58
Speaker 2: She quoted here, saying Help us save lives.
1:38:01
Speaker 2: Let's determine together we can do it for 2024.
1:38:03
Speaker 2: She said in her New Year's Day message release on social media here what Christopher said that the TTPS accepts the public criticism but also welcomes its support.
1:38:11
Speaker 2: She responded that 576 murders recorded in 2023 was down from 605 in 2022.
1:38:17
Speaker 2: But it was a decline with which she's not satisfied.
1:38:20
Speaker 2: Early reduction of 5% can be considered small.
1:38:23
Speaker 2: If the converse were to be true and there's an increase in the same margin, of the same magnitude, there would be no hesitation in pronouncing on the increase.
1:38:31
Speaker 2: Similarly, if there's an increase in the same magnitude, we should be likewise unambiguous and acknowledge the decrease.
1:38:38
Speaker 2: We acknowledge it.
1:38:39
Speaker 2: We credit the small but noteworthy decrease in murders that we have been successful in achieving.
1:38:44
Speaker 2: I don't want to read no more this to tell you the truth, because I think the just behind the article, or just behind what she's trying to say, is she need the public help and we need to all rally together.
1:38:58
Speaker 2: All lies, true, but when things happen, as callous and as brazen as they happen, these responses feel like if nobody don't.
1:39:10
Speaker 2: I like how Babzi put it.
1:39:11
Speaker 2: He said we're only don't have no handle on this situation.
1:39:14
Speaker 2: It's like the powers that they don't have a handle on this situation.
1:39:18
Speaker 2: I wonder if they know the situation going on at all, because I'm watching the 576, as I think right, which I suppose no matter what statistics I'm working on.
1:39:25
Speaker 2: What I want to watch is where's the metric for how safe I could feel to sit down and eat chicken and churches in the car park.
1:39:32
Speaker 2: Let me keep that as a metric.
1:39:34
Speaker 2: Is there a way to check that we could?
1:39:37
Speaker 2: Is there a way to check that?
1:39:38
Speaker 2: I want to see how safe people feel generally, or where's the metric where I could open my hardware and piece and just run my thing while grocery is called I'm Chinese, spanish on the main road.
1:39:49
Speaker 2: Them and others are important parts of the community we live in here.
1:39:52
Speaker 2: You had to go in and get a little thing when you're on your way home your past bread, right.
1:39:56
Speaker 2: Anybody else is good through that.
1:39:57
Speaker 2: So you have to be worried now because them get up.
1:40:00
Speaker 2: The other day they might have put a big medicine security man in front of to try to detour, prevent people from robbing the place.
1:40:08
Speaker 2: These people doing up there, they serve any community.
1:40:11
Speaker 2: These businesses serve any community.
1:40:13
Speaker 2: This attitude we have in Trinidad that them have money and them rich.
1:40:17
Speaker 2: And that's why I like to come here and talk about that one percent thing, because I feel like our attitude generally to somebody who invests a dollar and turn it into a dollar and 50 cents, we are contemptuous of those people as if they do so from the time they do that they're wicked, they're selling drugs, they're exploiting people.
1:40:35
Speaker 2: They you know how hard it is to take a dollar and turn it into a dollar 50 and to do that for 50 something years or 100 years, and then now it turns into a big business.
1:40:45
Speaker 2: But while you're doing that, employing people, investing in the community, you're giving to charity, you're giving to the church.
1:40:52
Speaker 2: I don't know if people see that, so I don't.
1:40:55
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that we all criminals by saying the one percent this and that, but we have a general contempt for people who do business or make money or have a high salary and is reflected in the crime situation because it seemed to be culturally okay to kick in a mando and beat and take what you have or just running a grocery.
1:41:16
Speaker 2: And I know that we don't accept it, but again, because of the attitudes towards it.
1:41:20
Speaker 2: It's almost like we, we go ahead Once it in me.
1:41:23
Speaker 2: That's the attitude here.
1:41:25
Speaker 2: Next article police commissioner Lucristo for us once more, place of faith in God's little new country's crimes, lucero, but not a grandmother again.
1:41:35
Speaker 2: She used to say God has helped them who have this self, and they had a prayer and they had to act Right.
1:41:39
Speaker 2: She said we know what God's grace and with his help we'll succeed, the tides will turn again and we'll see the success.
1:41:46
Speaker 2: In other words, I find when you make statements like that, them things on like hope to me.
1:41:52
Speaker 2: Them things on like if you open, is 522 next year and is our next, is our next 20% decrease or whatsoever it is.
1:42:02
Speaker 2: But think running wild and man feeling unsafe in their own place and them kind of thing.
1:42:05
Speaker 2: Why, why we had a, why we had to be like that.
1:42:07
Speaker 2: I started to catch myself when you travel too, because when I traveling last place, we stay in to go and see that Dave Chappelle show the place Hano fence, like it.
1:42:17
Speaker 2: I don't know all wrong, it's just in the open.
1:42:19
Speaker 2: The back is a big canal and the front is open.
1:42:23
Speaker 2: And I find myself when I sleep and I frighten because I tell myself.
1:42:26
Speaker 2: But this is what we do.
1:42:27
Speaker 2: We do this, we travel that dog, not realizing that in our society, where nobody interested in kicking on your daughter coming by you and them guys in the incident.
1:42:35
Speaker 2: So these things not, they're not high at all, but anyway, I don't want to turn this entire crime thing.
1:42:42
Speaker 2: I'm trying my best not to turn this entire crime, crying episode every week, but I tell them only to that again, close, again, close and close as we go along, because we can't, we can't continue to come in and pretend like nothing happened, we and almost throw our hands up and say, well, here we're going on, god will take care of it.
1:43:11
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
1:43:12
Speaker 2: Let me just pray and let me ask the public to help me and them kind of thing, and it will come out and you wash at some point in time, everything will be okay.
1:43:21
Speaker 2: I want to highlight as well that, while, while Ula Christopher is talking about the public helping her no, I don't want to say helping her, right, the public helping all of us with the crime situation I think that one of the things that she had a focus on as well is how the people who are hired under her stewardship, what they do in for we wear crime concern.
1:43:44
Speaker 2: What can we look forward to from them?
1:43:47
Speaker 2: I talk about the police now.
1:43:48
Speaker 2: Is there anything that we could look forward to with the police, who are also a part of our society but who charge the responsibility of at least responding to crime, if not stopping it in the first place, right?
1:43:59
Speaker 2: Is there any reasonable expectation we can place on them?
1:44:05
Speaker 2: I'm asking that, against the backdrop of this little voice note, I want to play.
1:44:09
Speaker 2: Good morning WPR.
1:44:10
Speaker 2: What's the Hi?
1:44:12
Speaker 2: Kedeh my wife called this morning, probably about two hours ago, to report home robbery we had called E-999.
1:44:21
Speaker 1: They said that they would call the station, but nobody else has called us as well.
1:44:25
Speaker 2: Okay, so what are you all doing?
1:44:26
Speaker 2: I'm home, always in for the police, so call all of you.
1:44:28
Speaker 2: You don't know where the station is.
1:44:32
Speaker 2: Excuse me, do you know where the station is?
1:44:36
Speaker 1: So why?
1:44:37
Speaker 2: are you all coming and making up for my reports?
1:44:39
Speaker 2: I want to say that, in the words of my little brother, stefan, that man is the most patient man in the history of Trinidad.
1:44:52
Speaker 2: At the beginning I want to give my next round of applause.
1:44:54
Speaker 2: So that's the voice note that went around.
1:44:58
Speaker 2: I'll show you right here by now Another voice note I recorded on my phone call with this man calling in.
1:45:05
Speaker 2: Think about it.
1:45:05
Speaker 2: Put yourself in this position, god forbid.
1:45:07
Speaker 2: Right.
1:45:07
Speaker 2: You have a home invasion and a robbery at your house and you call in the police.
1:45:12
Speaker 2: This is where you're supposed to call in.
1:45:14
Speaker 2: This is who.
1:45:15
Speaker 2: This is the right thing to do.
1:45:16
Speaker 2: The wrong thing to do would be to pull out your pooh and go and look for them and put yourself in more problems.
1:45:22
Speaker 2: The right thing to do is to go and look for the police to intervene in this situation.
1:45:27
Speaker 2: Quantify what was lost, this, that, that See if you could get it.
1:45:30
Speaker 2: People get back at things and whatsoever.
1:45:31
Speaker 2: Right that man, do that and call Nobody in.
1:45:35
Speaker 2: Call back nobody in.
1:45:36
Speaker 2: Come and then call back the stations.
1:45:38
Speaker 2: And this is our police officer who given him that is the response she have for him.
1:45:43
Speaker 2: So I suggest into a little, christopher.
1:45:45
Speaker 2: Right Now I hear disciplinary action was taken and they sent you to go to work and so on.
1:45:50
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
1:45:51
Speaker 2: Good looking young girl when I hear this.
1:45:52
Speaker 2: I think it is some old person who done fed up with you.
1:45:55
Speaker 2: Young young girl like you you supposed to be more pleasant and more understanding.
1:45:59
Speaker 2: What kind of training them, doing them that nobody, helping them to understand where is their role and what their job really is.
1:46:04
Speaker 2: But she get transferred and that kind of thing.
1:46:07
Speaker 2: But I want to suggest to her, christopher, those who in power, that while we pray in any accent, we public for help and think these are some of the problems that you'll get to work on solving.
1:46:16
Speaker 2: Yet, be whether you, it's only two ways.
1:46:20
Speaker 2: If you have a staff right, this idea select the right people or you train the right people, and more than likely you had to do both right.
1:46:26
Speaker 2: You had to put the right people in the right positions and you had to get them the tools to be able to do the job, to train and the development and so on.
1:46:31
Speaker 2: Like, do more of that, help them.
1:46:34
Speaker 2: Help them.
1:46:34
Speaker 2: This is a young girl, she could get help.
1:46:36
Speaker 2: She could be much better as a police officer Interact with the public, I sure she must be fed up here.
1:46:42
Speaker 2: Crime call and the standard police going through to be careful.
1:46:44
Speaker 2: Every minute of the day you hear this one thing and this has a house robbery, and especially when it's a shooting on the highway.
1:46:49
Speaker 2: You might be watching these things as minor matters, but I don't understand how somebody going through this for the first time in society, going crazy in terms of these types of things and the poor fellow and, again, most patient person in the history of patient people.
1:47:05
Speaker 2: But again, I just want to go back to my grandmother saying, yes, you could pray and all them kind of thing, but you had to pray and act.
1:47:13
Speaker 2: Deca, god has helped those who help themselves.
1:47:16
Speaker 2: Now what I would like to do for you now.
1:47:18
Speaker 2: Just play a song from this year that is related to that statement Back in final.
1:47:24
Speaker 2: I don't want to be in a society where the people in power and the people who in charge take it away me, need all these conflicts and obstacles.
1:48:07
Speaker 1: Come to stay and must understand it.
1:48:11
Speaker 1: You can never run away.
1:48:13
Speaker 1: Time to stop the crying.
1:48:15
Speaker 1: Try a little, trying to achieve it, the only way.
1:48:20
Speaker 1: That's my understanding.
1:48:22
Speaker 1: Don't even do it for all the people and get you something.
1:48:27
Speaker 1: Stop.
1:48:28
Speaker 1: You gotta try and try and do what you're doing until you see the light.
1:48:34
Speaker 1: So don't let it out.
1:48:36
Speaker 1: This time you got to try.
1:48:39
Speaker 1: Little progress call so much dedication, plenty hard work and grind in your conquest.
1:49:11
Speaker 1: You have got to understand, keep your goal in your mind.
1:49:17
Speaker 1: Go, fall over, let your limits be the sky.
1:49:24
Speaker 1: Go, go, come back.
1:49:26
Speaker 1: And you want to make a try.
1:49:28
Speaker 1: You must have a strong wind if you're climbing up the hill or stay in the gutter and die.
1:49:36
Speaker 1: That's why you gotta stand up, even though you're falling, and get you something.
1:49:42
Speaker 1: You gotta try and try and do what you're doing until you you see that like, don't let it all taste, like, don't cry.
1:49:55
