00:00:05.499 --> 00:00:10.560
All right, people, this is a good day to talk

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:16.859
on Christmas and Christmas holidays and what

00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:20.160
Christmas holidays mean to some and what Christmas

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:24.500
holidays don't mean to some, because sometimes

00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:29.750
this holiday comes with a lot of hurt. you know

00:00:29.750 --> 00:00:36.450
bad memories people you know lose people and

00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:41.409
holidays become a strange time you know uh yeah

00:00:41.409 --> 00:00:45.750
parents you know some parents don't have their

00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:49.630
parents and you know some families don't have

00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:54.630
you know parents and sisters brothers uncles

00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:57.030
cousins a lot of times it just brings up a lot

00:00:57.030 --> 00:01:00.399
of different memories. I know for myself, my

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:05.379
aunt Lowe died about three years ago now and

00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:08.219
this holiday is always Christmas that reminds

00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:12.500
me of her just due to the consistencies of what

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:16.219
things she did and how she made phone calls and

00:01:16.219 --> 00:01:18.260
rounded up people for the family. You know, it's

00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:20.780
just like one of those things she did. Nobody

00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:22.700
else in the family does it like did it like her.

00:01:22.819 --> 00:01:27.099
But That's one of my fondest memory. What about

00:01:27.099 --> 00:01:34.659
yours? When I was younger, you know, I got excited

00:01:34.659 --> 00:01:40.180
for Christmas as normal like, you know, the older

00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:44.980
I got though, you know, and the more that I understood

00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:47.599
life and understood what Christmas was really

00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.920
about, I tended just more to just like appreciate

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.319
just being alive, just appreciating. Seeing other

00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.319
kids smile because I know how I wanted to feel

00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:04.340
when Christmas came and I was a child Yeah, you

00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:05.959
know, we ain't gonna front like we didn't we

00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:16.099
weren't excited back then That was my go -to

00:02:16.099 --> 00:02:22.719
yes, sir I got something right now. Pull out

00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.180
right now since I'm standing in here with it.

00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:27.340
We're talking about the staff. Just let me see.

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.979
Man, don't tell me you got the old throwbacks,

00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:33.259
man. What? I gotta have at least one in here.

00:02:33.419 --> 00:02:36.439
I'm about to do it, man. I gotta have at least

00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:40.060
one throwback toy in this one. You know what?

00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.639
I'm just gonna take them all out. Hey, them bad

00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.560
boys still a go though, man. You great. I'm thinking

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.689
about starting my collection back. I'm telling

00:02:52.689 --> 00:02:54.490
you, bro. You need to pull out all that stuff.

00:02:54.569 --> 00:02:58.370
I mean, at least pull it out, check it out, see

00:02:58.370 --> 00:03:00.310
if it's got some value to it. You know what I'm

00:03:00.310 --> 00:03:01.889
saying? Even if you just look at it for a few

00:03:01.889 --> 00:03:05.229
minutes, put it right back up. Right. I wish

00:03:05.229 --> 00:03:07.370
I still had something. I think I took them all

00:03:07.370 --> 00:03:09.330
out just drunk, but I had them in a Ziploc bag

00:03:09.330 --> 00:03:11.050
sitting in here. But one of the biggest things

00:03:11.050 --> 00:03:14.110
I always say, man, I was big on my action figures,

00:03:14.310 --> 00:03:16.370
toys, all that stuff too, bro. Like, I'm telling

00:03:16.370 --> 00:03:19.419
you, couldn't sleep Christmas. I'd be up all

00:03:19.419 --> 00:03:22.560
night just wondering which one Chino and Trisha

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.520
got in the under the tree brides would be so

00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.860
I can't even go to sleep be wrapped up in it

00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:29.860
like go to sleep dude like hey man look at me

00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:35.159
I'm trying and I also want to say bro I also

00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.180
want to say to add on to that man I appreciate

00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:42.500
my mother even more because it's like for my

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:46.830
mom to go all out on Christmas to make sure that

00:03:46.830 --> 00:03:49.050
I had something under the Christmas tree, you

00:03:49.050 --> 00:03:51.710
know what I'm saying? That I had and that I didn't

00:03:51.710 --> 00:03:54.310
have a bad experience of a holiday. No matter

00:03:54.310 --> 00:03:56.889
what we was going through, our situation, she

00:03:56.889 --> 00:04:00.650
always made Christmas special. So I don't have

00:04:00.650 --> 00:04:04.490
like crazy stories and prayers to anybody out

00:04:04.490 --> 00:04:07.849
there that's going without on Christmas, you

00:04:07.849 --> 00:04:10.169
know what I'm saying? Every kid should have something

00:04:10.169 --> 00:04:13.699
to look forward to. But I'm blessed to say that

00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:17.259
I never had to wake up and not experience, or

00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:20.220
experience like not having anything under the

00:04:20.220 --> 00:04:23.959
Christmas tree. So I appreciate it more on that

00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.879
rim now that I'm older, you know? Yeah, and that's

00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.279
a good thing. At least you recognize it. Some

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.180
don't even recognize the blessing of just a,

00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.300
let's not even say just, I'm just saying just

00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:42.139
toys. But just the blessing of just having somebody

00:04:42.139 --> 00:04:48.639
on the holidays to call your parents, or whether

00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.439
it's your kids, it could be a niece, it could

00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.259
be a nephew, it could be a brother, it could

00:04:53.259 --> 00:04:56.779
be a sister. People forget just having one person,

00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.680
you know what I'm saying, on a holiday, just

00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:03.399
to call. They care about you. Yeah, people take

00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:04.959
that for granted. I think that's one of the biggest

00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.899
things people take for granted, is at least just

00:05:07.899 --> 00:05:10.480
having one person. It could be a friend, right?

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.740
It could be, it could be a buddy. I don't know.

00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.579
It ain't, it ain't always the sense of saying,

00:05:14.579 --> 00:05:16.500
you know, it's always going to be a family member.

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:17.860
Cause sometimes we don't have family members.

00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:19.759
Sometimes we actually got solid friends around

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.379
us that are meaningful. You know what I'm saying?

00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.360
It ain't whoever got your back, man. Whoever

00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.899
that's, that's who you should appreciate. Cause

00:05:27.899 --> 00:05:30.779
somebody gonna, if, and if somebody ain't texting

00:05:30.779 --> 00:05:35.120
you or calling you on the holidays, that's a

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.720
problem. You should, you should really evaluate.

00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.699
You should really evaluate yourself if you didn't

00:05:40.699 --> 00:05:43.579
got to the point where there ain't nobody, if

00:05:43.579 --> 00:05:46.800
your phone dry and it ain't no text messages

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.339
or no nothing, you know what I'm saying? On holidays,

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:53.180
man, come on. TIA, let me ask you a question.

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:58.759
So, cause I'm more of a type two, I take holidays

00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:05.160
or my days personal. So is, how would you feel?

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.810
And this is a question like, How would you feel

00:06:09.810 --> 00:06:15.029
if your wife, quote unquote, like she had forgotten

00:06:15.029 --> 00:06:18.009
to tell you Merry Christmas or Happy Birthday,

00:06:18.149 --> 00:06:20.029
since we talking about the holidays, could you

00:06:20.029 --> 00:06:23.029
ever forgive her? And like, my second question

00:06:23.029 --> 00:06:27.069
is, would you keep that same energy when her

00:06:27.069 --> 00:06:30.189
day came around? Or are you the type to just

00:06:30.189 --> 00:06:32.910
forgive and be like, I'm not going to treat her

00:06:32.910 --> 00:06:36.310
how she treated me? It could be if our family

00:06:36.310 --> 00:06:38.730
members. Just beginning to tell you Merry Christmas

00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:41.430
or anything on your special day. How would you

00:06:41.430 --> 00:06:47.209
take that? You know, I think it's. I say it like

00:06:47.209 --> 00:06:51.949
this. Yeah. Being the older I get, the more voices

00:06:51.949 --> 00:06:56.949
I am to a situation, to somebody. So if I feel

00:06:56.949 --> 00:07:00.449
like, you know, this is a problem, like, you

00:07:00.449 --> 00:07:02.709
know, I'm going to feel a certain way about it,

00:07:02.709 --> 00:07:06.129
I would rather say something then. Then to like.

00:07:06.610 --> 00:07:11.490
show of action that, because sometimes my, it's

00:07:11.490 --> 00:07:16.029
not my, I don't know how people say, when you

00:07:16.029 --> 00:07:18.629
get back at somebody, your get back is like really,

00:07:18.629 --> 00:07:20.430
really a get back, you know what I'm saying?

00:07:20.470 --> 00:07:23.730
They go all out on their get back. Hold on, I'm

00:07:23.730 --> 00:07:25.569
gonna come back up in a second. They gonna say

00:07:25.569 --> 00:07:27.569
they gonna get back on their get back, but a

00:07:27.569 --> 00:07:33.029
lot of people forget that sometimes your get

00:07:33.029 --> 00:07:36.910
back can lead to karma just as well, right? So

00:07:36.910 --> 00:07:39.529
what I try to do, especially if it's something

00:07:39.529 --> 00:07:44.529
pertaining to me, you know, if it's like a holiday,

00:07:44.529 --> 00:07:46.310
let's just say it's a holiday, right? Say it's

00:07:46.310 --> 00:07:48.589
Valentine's Day, right? Just pick Valentine's

00:07:48.589 --> 00:07:53.949
Day. Some people take Valentine's Day a certain

00:07:53.949 --> 00:07:55.730
way, you know what I'm saying? Like, they really,

00:07:55.889 --> 00:07:58.310
like, if you don't do something, like, they really

00:07:58.310 --> 00:08:00.050
gonna feel a certain way. They gonna come at

00:08:00.050 --> 00:08:04.209
you, like, and it's not gonna be like for somebody's...

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:09.100
Like pleasure to see you upset, right? So yeah

00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:12.480
This is this is this is the thing that I've learned

00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.980
I've learned to just be voice just right off

00:08:14.980 --> 00:08:17.100
the top about it. You know, I'm saying because

00:08:17.100 --> 00:08:20.800
like I Don't want my get back to come, you know,

00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:22.959
I'm saying I want my get back to stay far away

00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.240
from here You know what I'm saying? I don't want

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.199
it to be one of those things where it's like

00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.079
Oh, you know, don't we don't want to get the

00:08:30.239 --> 00:08:36.100
Let me say this though, but it's so, I'm so,

00:08:37.179 --> 00:08:40.940
what's the right word for it? Like I'm so stubborn

00:08:40.940 --> 00:08:46.200
in my ways to where I feel like my pride, I got

00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.240
too much pride to where it's like, I don't wanna

00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:52.360
have to remind that person, that special one

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.539
that I feel should do it. I don't feel like I

00:08:55.539 --> 00:08:58.980
should have to remind you. Like it'll be killing

00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:01.929
me. Like, I'll probably just be throwing hints

00:09:01.929 --> 00:09:04.590
throughout the day. And it's like, dang, she

00:09:04.590 --> 00:09:07.970
still ain't told me. Like, she still ain't told

00:09:07.970 --> 00:09:10.610
me. So it's like, I play those little games.

00:09:10.649 --> 00:09:13.049
I got too much pride to be like, you ain't going

00:09:13.049 --> 00:09:15.049
to wish me happy birthday? You ain't going to

00:09:15.049 --> 00:09:17.070
wish me Merry Christmas? You ain't going to,

00:09:17.169 --> 00:09:20.909
you know what I'm saying? Because it's like,

00:09:21.049 --> 00:09:24.149
if I have to remind you to do something, then

00:09:24.149 --> 00:09:25.769
you didn't want to do it really in the first

00:09:25.769 --> 00:09:31.190
place. Then sometimes, and this is me. The older

00:09:31.190 --> 00:09:34.269
I'm getting to, I'm starting to understand that

00:09:34.269 --> 00:09:38.769
place of knowing the difference between when

00:09:38.769 --> 00:09:42.629
somebody's being purposed and then when knowing

00:09:42.629 --> 00:09:46.830
somebody's just, sometimes you gotta charge the

00:09:46.830 --> 00:09:51.629
people mine, like literally, because due to,

00:09:51.950 --> 00:09:56.070
it's some things that happens for some, that's

00:09:56.070 --> 00:09:57.570
why people always pray for their right mind,

00:09:57.590 --> 00:09:59.879
because man, bro. Like some people can forget

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:03.620
their own kids birthdays, you feel me? And they

00:10:03.620 --> 00:10:07.519
literally birthed the child. They had the child

00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.039
and they literally forgot to call a child on

00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.659
their birthday just due to how much things have

00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:18.379
changed over the years. And to, you know, you

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:21.360
know, being a parent, it comes with a lot. People

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.899
don't don't pay that part no attention to like

00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:26.580
you really can lose your mind being a parent,

00:10:26.700 --> 00:10:29.230
bro, because you're so you're so locked into

00:10:29.230 --> 00:10:33.230
something to where it consumes you. Once it consumes

00:10:33.230 --> 00:10:35.169
you, just like how I always tell people, like,

00:10:35.570 --> 00:10:39.669
you know, be a parent off of, you know, day to

00:10:39.669 --> 00:10:42.750
day, how things go day to day. Don't try to be

00:10:42.750 --> 00:10:44.870
the parent that's like, oh, I saw this parent

00:10:44.870 --> 00:10:47.029
do this or I saw this parent do that too much,

00:10:47.490 --> 00:10:49.330
because sometimes you come up with a myth. You

00:10:49.330 --> 00:10:51.110
won't ever come up with a method of your own.

00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.659
You just be swimming around in this pool trying

00:10:53.659 --> 00:10:55.759
to figure out how and what your child doing and

00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.019
what your child got going on. And you never figure

00:10:58.019 --> 00:10:59.980
your child out for they even get out the house.

00:11:00.700 --> 00:11:02.700
So when they get out of the house, you never

00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:06.000
learn your own child just because you weren't

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.080
trying to be purposeful. You can be purposeful.

00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.600
It don't hurt to do that. But some people feel

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:16.179
like, oh, if I'm if I'm if I'm doing something,

00:11:16.179 --> 00:11:19.720
you know, like like you say. Let me show them.

00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:23.120
I ain't gonna tell him have a birthday. You can

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.100
see. And I think what hurt me, what hurt me,

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.039
what hurt me really is I was, man, I had a loving

00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.120
mother. Yeah. My mom didn't forget. My mom didn't

00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.100
forget holidays and birthdays. So, like, I guess

00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:37.759
I take that. That's my pet peeve. I take that

00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.139
into if I get in relationships. Like, I expect

00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:44.620
that same. And I'm sure you had wonderful parents

00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:47.480
too like that. You got that love. So when you

00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:51.120
come from that, background of being appreciated

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.179
especially on your days and Being acknowledged

00:11:54.179 --> 00:11:56.399
you're gonna take that with you like through

00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.320
life when you get with somebody or Even when

00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.480
you have kids, you know So most of us are gonna

00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:06.620
use that tactic that belief how our parents treated

00:12:06.620 --> 00:12:10.600
us and treat our kids Yeah, you know I'm saying

00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:14.019
that's how I think it should go. Yeah, and that's

00:12:14.019 --> 00:12:19.750
a that's a again we we're The older we get, the

00:12:19.750 --> 00:12:22.149
better. It's about growth. Yeah. Yeah, the older

00:12:22.149 --> 00:12:26.629
we get, it just becomes a thing. Nobody's gonna,

00:12:26.850 --> 00:12:30.269
I mean, nobody's gonna love you like parents.

00:12:31.250 --> 00:12:35.590
Nobody's. Bro, preach, bro. Yeah, I mean, even

00:12:35.590 --> 00:12:41.669
the ones that do have the overbearing parents.

00:12:43.009 --> 00:12:45.370
Overbearing to me is still a good parent because

00:12:45.370 --> 00:12:48.450
at least they're taking the time to care Even

00:12:48.450 --> 00:12:51.370
if it's over overstepping at times But at the

00:12:51.370 --> 00:12:54.110
same time when somebody won't the best for you

00:12:54.110 --> 00:12:57.110
is a different story if it's okay How do you

00:12:57.110 --> 00:12:59.710
be feeling? You know when they try to say oh

00:12:59.710 --> 00:13:01.990
my parent my mom and dad was this or my mom and

00:13:01.990 --> 00:13:04.309
dad was dead I mean your mom and dad was that

00:13:04.309 --> 00:13:06.190
way for a reason they care. You know, they grew

00:13:06.190 --> 00:13:09.409
up a certain way You know, they got certain morals

00:13:09.409 --> 00:13:13.289
things they want to live by So it's funny you

00:13:13.289 --> 00:13:15.389
say that it's funny you say that because and

00:13:15.389 --> 00:13:18.049
that's one thing that I like I think that's helping

00:13:18.049 --> 00:13:22.610
me get over taking other people not appreciating

00:13:22.610 --> 00:13:26.149
me personally Because I think I put too much

00:13:26.149 --> 00:13:28.889
standards high too much high standards on people

00:13:28.889 --> 00:13:31.350
That shouldn't have never had a higher standard

00:13:31.350 --> 00:13:33.610
in my life. Anyway, they're really probably didn't

00:13:33.610 --> 00:13:36.809
even care about me anyway to their max all right

00:13:36.809 --> 00:13:40.269
Oh So the only people that I expect really, like

00:13:40.269 --> 00:13:43.169
you say, your parents, your kids, if you got

00:13:43.169 --> 00:13:45.110
kids, you want your kids, you know what I'm saying?

00:13:45.149 --> 00:13:48.730
Your parents and your kids. Like if I don't hear

00:13:48.730 --> 00:13:52.590
from them, then I'm hurt. But now it's like I

00:13:52.590 --> 00:13:56.389
don't really hold people to that standard because

00:13:56.389 --> 00:13:59.990
people don't have to do what they don't want

00:13:59.990 --> 00:14:04.269
to do. So in order not to get heartbroken, it's

00:14:04.269 --> 00:14:07.240
just best for you to not. Put your standards

00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:10.500
so high on people you get what I'm saying. I

00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:14.299
gotta say you a lot of heartbreak after you What's

00:14:14.299 --> 00:14:16.279

you know to me like You know, you learn to take

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.200
blows differently the older. I'm just saying

00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.259
for me. And it's the truth, like the older you

00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:37.899
get, the more the younger generation are going

00:15:37.899 --> 00:15:40.360
to like try to degrade you in a sense, right?

00:15:41.820 --> 00:15:47.639
And consider saying that you've already experienced

00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.039
the years that they've experienced. They're trying

00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:53.179
to get to where you're at. You know, like, you

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:57.299
know, a lot of people don't get to see 30. A

00:15:57.299 --> 00:15:59.320
lot of people don't get to see 40. A lot of people

00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:01.500
don't get to see 50. A lot of people don't even

00:16:01.500 --> 00:16:04.899
get to see 60, 70. Keep going. So for somebody

00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:10.019
the age and like in past podcasts, I say, you

00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:13.960
know, man, by the name of James Bowden told me

00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.779
this line. Never forget, you know. So so I'm

00:16:17.779 --> 00:16:19.679
gonna court a group with him for years with the

00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.059
voice of water star and biggest thing that you

00:16:22.059 --> 00:16:26.620
live long enough You ain't live long enough Keep

00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:30.399
on living That's basically I knew I was in that

00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.960
room. I was right keep on living like this Nobody

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.399
nobody's promised tomorrow. So if you're not

00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.500
promised tomorrow That means something may happen

00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:43.820
good or maybe happen bad tomorrow. You don't

00:16:43.820 --> 00:16:46.639
know you got to keep living to see it So keep

00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:49.700
on living it did your day go cool like that's

00:16:49.700 --> 00:16:52.600
cuz the older we get just remember something

00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.639
is going to happen Something just listening listen

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.200
to me y 'all look at the camera Something is

00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.500
going to happen if you're not prepared when that

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:05.359
something happens. It is going to be catastrophic

00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.829
food You need to learn to take control of things

00:17:08.829 --> 00:17:12.150
that control your brain and your mind while you're

00:17:12.150 --> 00:17:14.230
young. The younger you are, the better you are.

00:17:14.390 --> 00:17:16.450
The older you're getting, you're not going to

00:17:16.450 --> 00:17:19.089
do things the same exact way as you did when

00:17:19.089 --> 00:17:21.690
you're young. So if the case be, if you're doing

00:17:21.690 --> 00:17:24.420
a whole lot of stuff, this. Mind taking control

00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:27.160
of your mind at a young age And when these things

00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.140
that I'm speaking of like meaning keep on living

00:17:29.140 --> 00:17:31.599
when these hard times start to happen like how

00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.000
well Let's use a ditty situation. We take a ditty

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.720
situation Everybody's gonna have a ditty situation

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.140
y 'all sitting up here laughing at it, but everybody

00:17:39.140 --> 00:17:41.779
is going to have a ditty situation So at the

00:17:41.779 --> 00:17:43.259
end of the day it ain't saying that we're gonna

00:17:43.259 --> 00:17:46.059
be the exact same way that did he had but you're

00:17:46.059 --> 00:17:48.519

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:01.140
courteous when you kicking people while they

00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:03.940
down because it's gonna be a point when you gonna

00:18:03.940 --> 00:18:07.039
be down You know I'm saying it's gonna be a point

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.559
where you might need your help. That's what's

00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:13.839
humble me And you preach it cuz like you say

00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.759
like sometimes we can get big -headed And we

00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:18.779
can feel untouchable and we can look at this

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:21.079
person to be like man. They like jacked up, you

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.099
know, yeah And then week later something hit

00:18:24.099 --> 00:18:27.940
us over the head. We like, what the? And now

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:31.339
we looking, now we looking for help. Now we looking

00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:35.640
for help. Like Dwayne, bro, bro, like, man, hey,

00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:38.640
man, I'm down, bro. But what was I doing to you

00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:42.460
when you was down? I was laughing, you know what

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:45.400
I'm saying? Like, oh, that ain't my problem.

00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.319
People forget, bro. People forget. It's a real

00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:55.180
easy. easy thing to overlook, meaning your future.

00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:57.420
What's gonna happen? What's gonna happen tomorrow?

00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:59.880
What's gonna happen tonight? You know, what's

00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:02.039
gonna happen in the morning? What's gonna happen

00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.980
tomorrow afternoon? We don't think like that.

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:07.660
And you know, people, and once you get to that

00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:11.019
age and start to realize that part, that's made

00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:14.059
me so much more thankful daily. I can get up

00:19:14.059 --> 00:19:17.319
and thank God every single day just because I

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.319
woke up. Just because I woke up, I ain't even.

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:23.160
I ain't even, I ain't even went and did anything

00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.980
yet. I'm just wait, just open my eyes up. That's

00:19:25.980 --> 00:19:27.819
the first step right there to being thankful.

00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:31.059
People don't get to get that part. So think about,

00:19:31.099 --> 00:19:34.759
think about all the people, like this is, think

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:36.759
about the people that you've lost personally

00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:39.680
in your life, like childhood friends you grew

00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:42.380
up with that might not be here no more. Some

00:19:42.380 --> 00:19:45.440
of them locked up or some of them drugged out,

00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.809
like. Bruh, that's a blessing for you to be able

00:19:48.809 --> 00:19:54.309
to be a free person in your right mind You know

00:19:54.309 --> 00:19:57.670
shelter, but it all don't even matter you woke

00:19:57.670 --> 00:20:00.809
up in your right mind free That's all that really

00:20:00.809 --> 00:20:03.690
matters. The other stuff is extra man, you know

00:20:03.690 --> 00:20:07.089
I'm saying but having breath every day is a blessing

00:20:07.089 --> 00:20:09.730
because man I look back and see all the people

00:20:09.730 --> 00:20:13.349
that pass man that I knew from the music business

00:20:13.349 --> 00:20:16.640
to friends to You know, all that stuff, man,

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.059
and that's what keeps me humble and keeps me

00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:22.440
going, man. Like, that's motivation, just seeing

00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.640
those mothers have to cry on, we talked about

00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.880
Christmas on holidays, man, and birthdays because

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.400
they don't have their son or their daughters

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:35.680
no more. Like, this is real life. Like, we need

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.660
to get off the, like you say, the ditty and the

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.220
gimmicks in the entertainment and we need to

00:20:41.220 --> 00:20:43.779
talk about real life. Like what is affecting

00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:48.380
you? You know what I'm saying? You either gonna

00:20:48.380 --> 00:20:50.980
listen to it, you gonna hear us, you gonna hear

00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:54.500
somebody, but you either gonna listen to it or

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:56.579
you gonna have to learn the hard way. Like I

00:20:56.579 --> 00:20:58.799
say, it's gonna slap you upside the head and

00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:01.359
you gonna have to face it. God gonna make you

00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:05.259
have to face it and sit down and listen. That's

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:09.430
the part where This is the part where, and most

00:21:09.430 --> 00:21:13.549
people, I mean, I'm gonna use it, but it's got

00:21:13.549 --> 00:21:15.589
its truth behind it. The reason why I'm saying

00:21:15.589 --> 00:21:19.390
it, a lot of people, it takes that though. The

00:21:19.390 --> 00:21:22.990
hardest situation humbles them, bro. Like it

00:21:22.990 --> 00:21:27.789
has to come, but I hate it that it has to come.

00:21:27.890 --> 00:21:31.170
Like you said, it slaps them, it hits them. Then

00:21:31.170 --> 00:21:34.200
you can't react. because you don't even know

00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:36.440
how to react. You've never dealt with it before.

00:21:36.740 --> 00:21:38.859
You've always seen it happen on TV. I saw it

00:21:38.859 --> 00:21:41.059
on TV. Saw it on the net. You know what I'm saying?

00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:43.359
I saw it on Instagram. I saw it on Facebook.

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:46.000
I saw it on the blogs. I saw it all these places,

00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:50.539
but I didn't see it happening in my life. Like

00:21:50.539 --> 00:21:53.640
where did that part come from? I wasn't prepared

00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:57.339
for that one. And you know, humbling enough,

00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:01.119
it's a beautiful thing to see somebody humbled.

00:22:01.369 --> 00:22:04.710
By something that's a hard time, but I hate that

00:22:04.710 --> 00:22:12.329
But it changes needed Yeah, and once you as they

00:22:12.329 --> 00:22:14.630
say once it cuts you deep enough and they and

00:22:14.630 --> 00:22:17.589
it blood runs out of that deep enough and You

00:22:17.589 --> 00:22:19.529
know how somebody reacts to something that's

00:22:19.529 --> 00:22:21.329
bloody they got a rapid, you know, they take

00:22:21.329 --> 00:22:24.329
extra care to it You know, yeah, that's when

00:22:24.329 --> 00:22:27.289
it's a thing me when you could have to some small

00:22:27.289 --> 00:22:30.460
precautions and things to follow steps, maybe

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:32.680
methods and things to keep yourself from, you

00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:35.500
know, getting to that point. That's what I listen

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:37.980
to people. Listen to people trying to tell you

00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:43.839
right. I realize I realize, bro, I've been in

00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:46.240
a position where I've just been trying to motivate

00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:49.079
people and trying to help people I love. And

00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:52.000
I realize that you have to let it go sometimes.

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:54.059
Some people ain't willing to take in what you

00:22:54.059 --> 00:22:56.859
give them. So you have to give them that humble

00:22:56.859 --> 00:22:58.720
pie. You got to let them go out and experience

00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.140
on their own But then the problem that I have

00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:03.519
with the problem I have with the world is when

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.519
you do that They only see Oh Q just abandoned

00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.700
this person Q left this person Q Q ain't helping

00:23:11.700 --> 00:23:14.000
this person not knowing the back work that I

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:17.779
done did Yeah for this person and tried to steal

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:21.339
and tried to help this person. So That's another

00:23:21.339 --> 00:23:24.460
thing, like we can only do so much. And if a

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:26.740
person is not willing to take you in and listen,

00:23:27.140 --> 00:23:29.279
you gotta let them go and learn on their own.

00:23:29.660 --> 00:23:32.559
And most times they'll be back saying, oh, you

00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:35.720
was right. But by that time it's too late, probably.

00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.759
It's too late. You think that this is my, you

00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.059
think that, well, let's say this. When you tell

00:23:45.059 --> 00:23:46.940
your family, right, or even not even your family,

00:23:47.059 --> 00:23:50.109
friends too, you know. You can talk to them at

00:23:50.109 --> 00:23:56.069
a certain level of understanding. The level of

00:23:56.069 --> 00:24:00.990
understanding is where you two remember the best

00:24:00.990 --> 00:24:06.369
moments of y 'all life. Meaning, whether you

00:24:06.369 --> 00:24:08.130
got some buddies, all they did was smoke and

00:24:08.130 --> 00:24:11.539
drink together, right? That's it. That's all

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:14.240
their mind goes to smoking drink together. Oh,

00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:16.380
we used to we used to go, you know, hit these

00:24:16.380 --> 00:24:18.039
chicks house You know saying when they parents

00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:20.519
went home, you know, I'm saying that's that's

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:22.960
that's where the mentality goes right there Then

00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:24.920
you got some people, you know, we just went to

00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:27.740
the club. You know saying that's where the mentality

00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:29.799
goes right Oh, we just went out to eat together.

00:24:30.140 --> 00:24:36.099
That's it. So if you think that your moves in

00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:40.140
the your growth it's gonna be accepted by them

00:24:40.140 --> 00:24:43.920
in a sense of and out of it. It ain't saying

00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:46.720
that they're supposed to. There's nothing wrong

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:50.240
with buddies remembering what y 'all did, but

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.319
you have to get past that point sooner or later

00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.640
and understand that, look, I done grew up. I'm

00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:58.420
past that point now. I don't have to do all of

00:24:58.420 --> 00:25:00.680
that crazy stuff no more. You know what I'm saying?

00:25:01.019 --> 00:25:03.240
Run the streets like I used to and none of that

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:04.980
stuff like they don't want to hit some friends

00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:07.279
Don't want to hit it because they're still wrapped

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:10.539
right up in it But for for the sake of saying

00:25:10.539 --> 00:25:14.039
that your growth is important You just have to

00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:16.599
do it your way like it's nothing wrong and it

00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.400
becomes easier it becomes easier I'm a walking

00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:22.940
testimony it becomes easier man because I came

00:25:22.940 --> 00:25:27.519
a long way and Like I can we can all say we moved

00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.480
on and we forgive in You know what I'm saying?

00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.240
Best wishes to this person, but still have to

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:35.039
stay in our heart. You know what I'm saying?

00:25:35.220 --> 00:25:39.559
Towards that person. So just really mentally,

00:25:39.779 --> 00:25:42.259
spiritually being able to move on is a blessing.

00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:44.559
Like you say, it's growth, man. It comes with

00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.400
time. It comes with time. And I'm getting there,

00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:51.140
man. Like, I can look at an ex, see an ex, man,

00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:54.700
you know, on Facebook or whatever and be happy.

00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:57.079
I don't have no ill will towards them because

00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:00.200
it's like... Have moved on me personally. I'm

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.200
in another chapter in my life and like it's not

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:05.839
a flex It's not me sitting here trying to make

00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:09.680
you feel bad Like I'm living my life, bro. We

00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:11.819
live in our life You know I'm saying like real

00:26:11.819 --> 00:26:15.420
people with real situations that's moved on and

00:26:15.420 --> 00:26:19.700
is spiritually Increased and you know mentally

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:22.920
physically everything in a better place They

00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:25.180
don't play tick for tack. We're not out here

00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:27.420
competing with the world. We competing with ourselves

00:26:27.420 --> 00:26:30.839
to be the better version every day. That's the

00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.299
simple fact that, you know, when I hit, especially

00:26:34.299 --> 00:26:36.579
coming into 40, like that's one thing I was trying

00:26:36.579 --> 00:26:38.500
to understand. Like, what do you want to do,

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:41.720
Dwayne? What do you want to make sense of? What

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.420
do you feel would make sense? Like the case of

00:26:44.420 --> 00:26:47.420
what everybody else was doing wasn't making sense

00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:50.119
because eventually that sense is not going to

00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:52.589
be the sense anymore, you know? If you want to

00:26:52.589 --> 00:26:55.869
chase like some people chase celebrities so much

00:26:55.869 --> 00:27:00.750
to the point where they're sick, literally, physically

00:27:00.750 --> 00:27:05.210
sick. And, you know, they think that following

00:27:05.210 --> 00:27:10.130
their lives is the only thing that helps them

00:27:10.130 --> 00:27:12.869
survive. Oh, I got to get this content. I got

00:27:12.869 --> 00:27:15.210
to I got to shoot this or I got to go take these

00:27:15.210 --> 00:27:17.369
pictures. I got to go take these photos. I got

00:27:17.369 --> 00:27:19.509
to write things up and see. This is one thing

00:27:19.509 --> 00:27:24.710
that change has changed. in 10 years, the celebrity.

00:27:24.710 --> 00:27:27.309
You see hip hop, bro, hip hop. You see hip hop.

00:27:27.769 --> 00:27:33.650
Yeah. A lot of people fantasies and inspirations,

00:27:33.829 --> 00:27:37.210
man, letting them down, bro. All of these. And

00:27:37.210 --> 00:27:41.250
think about this, all the, since we on this topic,

00:27:41.309 --> 00:27:43.950
this is buzzing right now. All the gangsta rappers,

00:27:43.950 --> 00:27:46.089
you know, that was out here promoting violence

00:27:46.089 --> 00:27:48.869
and all this stuff. Guess where most of their

00:27:48.869 --> 00:27:52.779
fans are? probably in the penitentiary are dead

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:57.759
and How would you feel if that rapper that you

00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:01.779
were inspired by? That led you down this path

00:28:01.779 --> 00:28:06.000
you were so invested into them right and they

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.359
turn around and be like Forget the streets Yeah,

00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:15.380
like that like I'm all for that. I'm all for

00:28:15.380 --> 00:28:18.700
that movement forget the streets where my thing

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:22.319
is The damage is already, if you were part of

00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:25.359
the problem, the damage has been done. That's

00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:28.480
why I say we have to, people that's taking this

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:32.880
stuff in, don't invest your all into these celebrities.

00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:36.720
They're human. They're human. Like you say, don't

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:40.660
invest your all into no man or woman. You get

00:28:40.660 --> 00:28:42.980
what I'm saying? Like, because they will see,

00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:45.359
they will lead you down the wrong path and like,

00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.119
Yeah, the message is a great message, but think

00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.240
about all the people that we've lost due to the

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:54.079
wrong message you were pushing before this. This

00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:57.079
ain't going out to the ones that wasn't causing

00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:58.980
destruction. I'm talking about the ones that

00:28:58.980 --> 00:29:01.900
was pushing destruction. And now you want to

00:29:01.900 --> 00:29:05.059
set your screen piece and unity and this and

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:07.240
that. But think about all the people that were

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:09.420
invested in you that you laid down the wrong

00:29:09.420 --> 00:29:12.480
path that we'll never get back. So that's the

00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.299
problem that I have with the movement. I just

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:18.680
wish we would have known this before. You know

00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.880
what I'm saying? Before it was too late for a

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:27.920
lot of people. So again, you gotta, again, popularity.

00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:35.960
You can follow a popularity trend so far to where

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:39.420
it consumes you, makes you sick, physically.

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:42.359
I'm gonna say it again. And when I say physically

00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:46.319
sick, meaning you start doing things and your

00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:50.519
body starts doing things that it is not commonly

00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:53.680
doing. It ain't always throwing up. You might

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.319
try to follow a trend and, you know, oh, I'm

00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:59.500
going to start doing or saying what they say.

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:03.839
And then I get put in jail. OK, when you're in

00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.539
jail, you're physically sick. Tell you why you're

00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:08.779
physically sick is because your body is doing

00:30:08.779 --> 00:30:11.889
something that you're not used to. Physically

00:30:11.889 --> 00:30:14.349
sick ain't it? That's not your usual That's not

00:30:14.349 --> 00:30:16.529
your norm and people want to make it seem as

00:30:16.529 --> 00:30:18.589
if I'm like, oh, it's okay to go to jail It's

00:30:18.589 --> 00:30:20.349
okay to go to prison. No, it's not okay to go

00:30:20.349 --> 00:30:22.549
to jail. It's not okay to go to prison It is

00:30:22.549 --> 00:30:25.329
not okay. Stop making that normal. It ain't normal.

00:30:25.470 --> 00:30:27.930
It ain't normal. It ain't been no I don't know

00:30:27.930 --> 00:30:30.569
who's even just a celebrity thing. This ain't

00:30:30.569 --> 00:30:33.410
just about celebrities This could be this could

00:30:33.410 --> 00:30:36.569
be that prostitute that you look that that woman

00:30:36.569 --> 00:30:38.910
that young lady that see that young woman making

00:30:38.910 --> 00:30:42.019
fast money on the corner And she's so invested

00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:45.480
and wants to be like her. Like, you might lose

00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.059
your daughter. You might lose your girl because

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:50.579
of the streets, because of this. She's so invested

00:30:50.579 --> 00:30:52.740
in the other people's life. Like, you see this

00:30:52.740 --> 00:30:56.720
drug dealer, you know, money -making miss. Like,

00:30:56.859 --> 00:30:59.480
Ace was looking up to him. Like, you know, he

00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:01.500
and the dry cleaners doing it the right way.

00:31:01.500 --> 00:31:04.339
And then you see this dude with big money, and

00:31:04.339 --> 00:31:07.140
bam. Like, you so invested into how he's living.

00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:09.869
And look what it cost you. You know what I'm

00:31:09.869 --> 00:31:12.009
saying? So it's like, we lose a lot of people

00:31:12.009 --> 00:31:16.269
due to that, man. Followers. Yep. So speaking

00:31:16.269 --> 00:31:21.170
of that, this is kind of leads into, you know,

00:31:21.329 --> 00:31:25.150
we talk - I'm loving the topic, bro. We got our

00:31:25.150 --> 00:31:29.190
Christmas scene, you know, wonderful. Well, we

00:31:29.190 --> 00:31:31.049
kept it in the room. We back, we back. Yeah,

00:31:31.069 --> 00:31:34.750
yeah, it's different. It's different to have

00:31:34.750 --> 00:31:38.829
- a mindset that is totally different than everybody's

00:31:38.829 --> 00:31:44.569
and feel that is normal and stop comparing what

00:31:44.569 --> 00:31:47.990
you have to anything and anybody. Let me tell

00:31:47.990 --> 00:31:50.170
you why I'm saying this. This is the reason why.

00:31:50.930 --> 00:31:56.670
So there's always a part to understanding more.

00:31:57.609 --> 00:32:02.890
So this is where the, I'm gonna, start giving

00:32:02.890 --> 00:32:05.690
away some stuff here. And I'm doing this in a

00:32:05.690 --> 00:32:11.170
certain way that can be very beneficial to those

00:32:11.170 --> 00:32:14.750
that really want it. Those that have been trying

00:32:14.750 --> 00:32:20.390
to understand how, you know, NJMP is able to

00:32:20.390 --> 00:32:23.069
be here and stay here and continue growing and

00:32:23.069 --> 00:32:26.009
continue going. There's a reason to it. It's

00:32:26.009 --> 00:32:29.349
not fast. It's not like, it's not a, it's not

00:32:29.349 --> 00:32:32.210
a super, this didn't just take off and just start

00:32:32.210 --> 00:32:34.890
sprinting. And it's a good thing it didn't take

00:32:34.890 --> 00:32:37.589
off and just start sprinting. I may not would

00:32:37.589 --> 00:32:39.630
have learned everything that I needed to learn

00:32:39.630 --> 00:32:43.150

God's gift to us that we've got to the point

00:34:23.710 --> 00:34:26.329
where we don't have to run from the situation.

00:34:26.469 --> 00:34:28.829
Google is bringing you to us. So we appreciate

00:34:28.829 --> 00:34:32.090

00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:45.510
till the end of the year. trying to step it up

00:35:45.510 --> 00:35:46.809
a little bit more at the top of the year, but

00:35:46.809 --> 00:35:49.210
I still want to keep the consistency and not

00:35:49.210 --> 00:35:52.190
break the consistency consistency trail that's

00:35:52.190 --> 00:35:54.730
that's that's following. That's keeping it, keeping

00:35:54.730 --> 00:35:57.289
everything rolling over here really good. So

00:35:57.289 --> 00:36:01.989
again, love. Lastly, one more thing. Remember

00:36:01.989 --> 00:36:09.610
this. Monetizing is always your goal. Monetizing.

00:36:09.630 --> 00:36:12.110
Everybody needs to hit it. Monetizing. That's

00:36:12.110 --> 00:36:16.230
the goal. OK. monetize, monetize, look it up,

00:36:16.269 --> 00:36:19.989
understand how to monetize your situation. That

00:36:19.989 --> 00:36:24.869
will help you get a long way. All right. So more

00:36:24.869 --> 00:36:28.809
labs. Again, we appreciate you more labs. I definitely

00:36:28.809 --> 00:36:32.329

I do for me and everything I've been doing for

00:36:37.590 --> 00:36:43.670
me on. Lastly, keep God first. Shout out to the

00:36:43.670 --> 00:36:48.570
autism community. Always keep awareness, understand

00:36:48.570 --> 00:36:51.110
and know when somebody has autism. If you don't

00:36:51.110 --> 00:36:55.650
understand, get on the internet, find out, understand.

00:36:55.829 --> 00:36:59.369
I have twin girls that they need to understand.

00:36:59.610 --> 00:37:02.869
What we don't understand and we need to understand

00:37:02.869 --> 00:37:04.889
what they don't understand. So all of it will

00:37:04.889 --> 00:37:06.969
work together. So again, that's what it is about

00:37:06.969 --> 00:37:10.250
having autism awareness. Just knowing the signs

00:37:10.250 --> 00:37:13.570
and helping them to progress and move forward.

00:37:13.909 --> 00:37:15.710
You may be in the store. You may see somebody

00:37:15.710 --> 00:37:19.449
that has autism. Don't act funny. Speak to them.

00:37:19.469 --> 00:37:21.369
Say hello. Just because you see them looking

00:37:21.369 --> 00:37:23.050
there like they're in their own world. Don't

00:37:23.050 --> 00:37:25.030
act funny towards them. You're the one that's

00:37:25.030 --> 00:37:27.150
being funny. Just walk up to them and speak.

00:37:27.809 --> 00:37:30.530
That's all. Alright, but again, let's get off

00:37:30.530 --> 00:37:34.909
of that little piece Merry Christmas y 'all from

00:37:34.909 --> 00:37:37.170
