excellent this is another coming off of another

00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:33.039
weekend of of decisions on what to speak on talk

00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.520
about today it's a lot of stuff that can be talked

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.539
about a lot of history was made last week um

00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:45.140
choosing to talk to talk about ones that uh are

00:00:45.140 --> 00:00:50.840
more have more substance than others are my point

00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:58.109
yeah um i know that winter olympics is starting

00:00:58.109 --> 00:01:02.070
to where they just shut down yesterday i think

00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:08.590
that was last day yesterday um and us came out

00:01:08.590 --> 00:01:11.769
with a good bit of medals like 30 something medals

00:01:11.769 --> 00:01:17.569
or something like that but within that circle

00:01:17.569 --> 00:01:25.739
layla edwards did get a medal to complete the

00:01:25.739 --> 00:01:33.599
task of gold medal run how do you feel about

00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.000
that speaking that you actually said this and

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.359
we talked about this a couple times too but you

00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.620
actually brought this up in the first place um

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:46.540
a lot of black athletes you know usually shoot

00:01:46.540 --> 00:01:52.230
for you know basketball football track Maybe

00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:55.250
some baseball, maybe some softball. I'm speaking

00:01:55.250 --> 00:02:01.989
on men and women. Maybe even considerably, even

00:02:01.989 --> 00:02:08.610
some may get into soccer. But something like

00:02:08.610 --> 00:02:13.629
the Winter Olympics, right? We don't do ice.

00:02:13.710 --> 00:02:15.370
We don't do snow. We don't be doing much stuff

00:02:15.370 --> 00:02:21.419
like that. Why her? was it a search was it a

00:02:21.419 --> 00:02:24.080
thing that you've heard about her why did you

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.759
choose her for the sake of this for that episode

00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.800
that you shot i mean because it's well known

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.280
that you know i i was a wrestler in school i

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.860
was a mad wrestler amateur wrestler um was very

00:02:39.860 --> 00:02:45.099
successful at it um i played basketball and football

00:02:45.099 --> 00:02:49.759
and all that too but my my most best sport that

00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.599
I was that I did was wrestling and it was somebody

00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.939
seeing a talent in me that I ain't see my my

00:02:56.939 --> 00:03:02.599
coach Mickey uh Jordan so I mean a lot of people

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.080
the wrestlers I remember like you know we used

00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.879
to practice with the basketball players and you

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.180
know the basketball players would look down on

00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:13.580
wrestlers and wrestlers will always look down

00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:15.719
on basketball players like we's like man these

00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.050
dudes soft or And they used to look at us like,

00:03:19.189 --> 00:03:22.469
man, you know what I'm saying? People didn't

00:03:22.469 --> 00:03:24.969
understand. Wrestling ain't no sport, this and

00:03:24.969 --> 00:03:29.090
that. So what drew me to her is just her being

00:03:29.090 --> 00:03:33.729
different. I can relate to that. Being talented

00:03:33.729 --> 00:03:38.409
in a sport that a lot of people probably wouldn't

00:03:38.409 --> 00:03:41.669
see popular for her to do or popular in general,

00:03:41.750 --> 00:03:47.759
but you making it yours. Like, I think it's certain

00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.639
individuals that can make something theirs. And

00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:56.259
everybody can't do that. Like, me. I transformed

00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:59.219
wrestling at my program, my school programs.

00:03:59.419 --> 00:04:03.340
Like, wrestling wasn't a top priority before.

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.240
Like, you can check my backgrounds, the East

00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.219
Iredell, East Middle. I was running the joint

00:04:10.219 --> 00:04:12.599
when it came to wrestling. I put wrestling on

00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.040
the map. And it was because of me, my personality,

00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:21.759
who I was, how good I was. So Layla had that

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.180
it factor that she could make something that

00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:29.379
wasn't so popular be popular because of her.

00:04:29.540 --> 00:04:32.639
And a lot of people can't do that. You know what

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.019
I'm saying? Like even basketball players, like,

00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:38.139
you know, like for you to stand out and demand

00:04:38.139 --> 00:04:41.620
a sport, you know, a sport, you become the face

00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:44.319
of that sport is powerful. So that's why I picked

00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.560
her because she stands out over hockey. It's

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:52.040
like, you know, she, she drew attention to that

00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.399
sport that a lot of black people probably wouldn't

00:04:54.399 --> 00:05:00.560
even thought about. And that's powerful. I know

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.279
that was a long answer, but that was the question.

00:05:03.379 --> 00:05:05.680
That was, that was the, that was what you was

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:10.420
supposed to do. I'm not a, you know, it's, it's

00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:20.180
taken. 20 maybe about 20 plus years to witness

00:05:20.180 --> 00:05:27.120
something within olympic games in a sense like

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.360
what she's done i mean you you had the figure

00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.379
skaters you know along the years you know you

00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:36.920
had i think her name was dominique dolls you

00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.290
had dating back to like the 90s and then you

00:05:40.290 --> 00:05:42.910
got you know you've heard of those people that

00:05:42.910 --> 00:05:46.430
hit the mats floor mats you know gymnastics yeah

00:05:46.430 --> 00:05:51.430
gabby's you know all these these are these are

00:05:51.430 --> 00:05:58.129
all phenomenal situations but to be a hockey

00:05:58.129 --> 00:06:02.870
player or you know anything that that's around

00:06:02.870 --> 00:06:09.480
that ice is a feat to any any level of whatever

00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.319
it is i mean but she makes it popular she made

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.420
it popular also not that just saying just making

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:19.899
it popular she made it a a household thing to

00:06:19.899 --> 00:06:23.660
where if somebody was to say if somebody somebody

00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:26.860
of a black did hockey we have somebody that you

00:06:26.860 --> 00:06:29.240
can say that actually is done even though she's

00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.319
not the first but she's actually the first to

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:37.389
meddle in an Olympic game at one of the highest

00:06:37.389 --> 00:06:40.250
levels that you can be considered because Olympics

00:06:40.250 --> 00:06:45.290
only come every four years. It has to be recognized

00:06:45.290 --> 00:06:53.629
as a big act. I'm going to bring up another situation

00:06:53.629 --> 00:06:57.689
here. This is what I was laughing about this

00:06:57.689 --> 00:07:05.379
morning. I know that it's hard for black athletes

00:07:05.379 --> 00:07:12.459
to be considered in america unless you've done

00:07:12.459 --> 00:07:15.560
like something that's like really really great

00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:23.079
right now we have the hype of you got the hype

00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.199
of clarissa shields coming off of last night

00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:31.480
right um you know the way that people look at

00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:32.980
clarissa right let me get you i'm gonna get i

00:07:32.980 --> 00:07:37.339
want to ask you now due to the competitive sport

00:07:37.339 --> 00:07:41.199
right of boxing fighting anything of organized

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:48.040
fighting right yeah do you feel that some of

00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.459
these let's just say even or not even just her

00:07:51.459 --> 00:07:53.540
you can you can pick out any other boxer too

00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:56.949
you know floyd mayweather's They get looked at

00:07:56.949 --> 00:07:59.870
a certain way due to saying that, oh, they may

00:07:59.870 --> 00:08:03.230
be cocky or they may be, they just a big hype

00:08:03.230 --> 00:08:07.029
or they may, they talk too much or, you know,

00:08:07.029 --> 00:08:13.170
all of this can come about in a boxer or a fighter

00:08:13.170 --> 00:08:16.930
can quickly lose credibility, right? Why do you

00:08:16.930 --> 00:08:20.649
feel? that somebody like clarissa shields and

00:08:20.649 --> 00:08:23.730
even just her but just for her sake because she's

00:08:23.730 --> 00:08:26.250
still continuing to make a history brewing right

00:08:26.250 --> 00:08:30.949
and do you feel that that just because it's boxing

00:08:30.949 --> 00:08:35.190
maybe if she was like a like a fairy or something

00:08:35.190 --> 00:08:40.250
right and she was the best at ferrying that would

00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:43.769
that be more respectable or is it that just because

00:08:43.769 --> 00:08:46.860
like i asked is it because she's a boxer And

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:49.120
she's looked at as this rough, tough individual,

00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:52.259
a lot of mouth. You know, she can throw her weight

00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:54.779
around in a sense. Do you think that she loses

00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:57.779
credibility and loses points because of that

00:08:57.779 --> 00:09:02.320
part? I think, for one, I think because she's

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:07.940
a woman and she's in a sport like boxing. Add

00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:11.899
on, she's dominant at what she does. See, what

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:16.120
Floyd has to his advantage is he's a man. That

00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.860
part, you know, a lot of people are going to

00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:21.340
be like, okay, that's normal for a man to do.

00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.220
He's supposed to be dominant, you know? He's

00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:26.299
supposed to be this rough, tough, confident,

00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:29.139
in -your -face, you know what I'm saying? He

00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:33.379
gets away with that end. But with Clarissa, they're

00:09:33.379 --> 00:09:35.679
looking at her like, oh, this is a woman. She's

00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.940
alpha male. She's alpha, you know? Like, I don't

00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:42.490
like this. She's harder than... You know what

00:09:42.490 --> 00:09:45.169
I'm saying? More aggressive than the men. Like,

00:09:45.309 --> 00:09:49.090
and I think that's where a lot of, I see a lot

00:09:49.090 --> 00:09:51.389
of racist stuff said about her and stuff, man.

00:09:51.409 --> 00:09:55.909
You know, like racist stuff and you know, her

00:09:55.909 --> 00:09:59.750
looks and all this. And I, and I just be like,

00:09:59.909 --> 00:10:05.730
all she does is win and talk crap and back it

00:10:05.730 --> 00:10:09.049
up. And I was like, maybe that's what, like,

00:10:09.129 --> 00:10:11.929
if you don't know this woman personally, It's

00:10:11.929 --> 00:10:14.769
obviously her winning that's pissing y 'all off,

00:10:14.909 --> 00:10:17.309
you know? And she can back it up because that's

00:10:17.309 --> 00:10:19.230
all she's really been doing. Love, I hate it.

00:10:19.590 --> 00:10:23.269
That's all she's been doing. Now, would I want

00:10:23.269 --> 00:10:25.509
to see her fight some better opponents, some

00:10:25.509 --> 00:10:28.710
top -notch opponents? I think it's some way other

00:10:28.710 --> 00:10:32.190
better opponents than Cruz like last night. I

00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:34.409
mean, Cruz, no disrespect, she's a Hall of Famer.

00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:36.990
But I feel like, you know, the age difference,

00:10:37.090 --> 00:10:40.960
she's 38, Clarissa's 30. you know it it kind

00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.340
of and you could tell Cruz was her stamina ran

00:10:44.340 --> 00:10:47.600
out she was tired in there you know like I would

00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.379
like to see her fight some better opponents though

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:54.240
like on her level that's young that up and coming

00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.679
like ready to go like you know I'm saying top

00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.720
-notch boxers but other than that I feel like

00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.879
it's just her confidence plus she's a woman plus

00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:06.659
the sport she's in which is boxing you know um

00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:10.210
I think they just they look at females differently

00:11:10.210 --> 00:11:14.090
like leila ali she did the same thing she was

00:11:14.090 --> 00:11:17.789
in your face but the advantage i have i say ali

00:11:17.789 --> 00:11:21.909
uh leila ali had was she had the cover girl look

00:11:21.909 --> 00:11:24.690
not dissing clarissa like she's an ugly female

00:11:24.690 --> 00:11:28.149
she's beautiful in her own right but leila had

00:11:28.149 --> 00:11:30.990
the light skin you know the pretty like you know

00:11:30.990 --> 00:11:33.990
leila is like leila fine you know i like for

00:11:33.990 --> 00:11:37.409
me first like she fine yeah so Layla had the

00:11:37.409 --> 00:11:43.629
cover girl, the magazine look also. And Shields

00:11:43.629 --> 00:11:45.549
has said this, you know, she's like, you know,

00:11:45.549 --> 00:11:48.070
she wasn't really into her looks. You know, she

00:11:48.070 --> 00:11:50.809
admits she wasn't the best looking. You know,

00:11:50.809 --> 00:11:54.210
she was all about being a fighter. But Layla

00:11:54.210 --> 00:11:57.129
had that still, she still had that girly side

00:11:57.129 --> 00:12:00.529
to where it wasn't so dominant. So that's why

00:12:00.529 --> 00:12:04.629
I think it is what hurts her, Clarissa Shields,

00:12:04.629 --> 00:12:09.190
you know, my opinion. Yeah, I see the same. There's

00:12:09.190 --> 00:12:17.710
a lot of, like, feelings. I see one side of things

00:12:17.710 --> 00:12:24.950
for her is, like you said, to be in that number

00:12:24.950 --> 00:12:29.149
one seat, to be that person, to be the it, you

00:12:29.149 --> 00:12:33.970
know. It comes with everything to knock you off

00:12:33.970 --> 00:12:36.679
of that, you know. off of that pedestal like

00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:40.379
you said would we like to see somebody that can

00:12:40.379 --> 00:12:45.039
match up with her yeah we would love to but who

00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.740
is it you know who's gonna I mean there's some

00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:51.139
names out there I can't say off the top but there's

00:12:51.139 --> 00:12:55.539
some names out there man I don't know the names

00:12:55.539 --> 00:12:59.220
off the top of my head female boxing but they

00:12:59.220 --> 00:13:01.919
were on the Jake Paul fight I forgot you know

00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:06.860
the she's from It was a black female. It's two

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:08.779
of them that was on that card. The Jake Paul

00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:13.919
fight. It was two of them. I forgot her. The

00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:18.120
ones that talk about them on the card. You know,

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.539
Clarissa had a face off with one of them. She

00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:25.240
light skin. I forgot her name. And I would like

00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.200
to see her fight her. And I would like to see

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:32.100
her fight the other one. She's kind of dark skin.

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.389
She's from another country. I forgot her name.

00:13:35.929 --> 00:13:37.970
She's kind of dark -skinned, like, you know,

00:13:37.990 --> 00:13:40.210
a little bit. But, yeah, it's some competitions

00:13:40.210 --> 00:13:42.809
that I see. You know, I would love to see her,

00:13:42.889 --> 00:13:45.809
you know, get in there with. But I just think

00:13:45.809 --> 00:13:50.289
a 38 -year -old, like, you know, you could tell,

00:13:50.470 --> 00:13:54.070
man. Like, body -wise, too, that fight last night.

00:13:54.169 --> 00:13:57.179
Alicia Bumgarner. That's her name. Yeah, yeah,

00:13:57.259 --> 00:13:59.539
yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd love to see her fight her

00:13:59.539 --> 00:14:05.279
and the other one. I think it's Badoan, something

00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.620
like that. Layla Badoan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:12.139
yeah, yeah. That's my girl. Yeah, her, her. Those

00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:14.759
would be some great match -ups, I feel. Those

00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.019
would be great match -ups. These are people,

00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.659
that's why I was, the ones that don't get their

00:14:22.659 --> 00:14:28.159
names called. usually are due to the you know

00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:32.500
again here's the new hype of the of the sport

00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:35.379
of course we have to battle with that and then

00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:37.879
we have to battle with who we think is you know

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.779
the ones that can you know match up with her

00:14:40.779 --> 00:14:44.840
i'm sure that she wouldn't turn down you know

00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.039
a situation if it had to come down to it i just

00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.159
really think that sometimes promoters get in

00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:55.840
her way a lot of times because Instead of going

00:14:55.840 --> 00:15:01.299
for a match, they're going for a dollar. But

00:15:01.299 --> 00:15:04.480
then again, she just might be that damn good,

00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:10.179
though. I'm just saying. It might look good on

00:15:10.179 --> 00:15:12.279
paper. That's one thing I'm learning. It might

00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.559
look good on paper, but she just might be that

00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:18.379
damn good to where she just can beat. All these

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:22.539
opponents, man. It could be that. I felt bad

00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:27.539
last night. It's deep to see somebody execute

00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:32.639
a plan and then just float. And, you know, most

00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.820
of these fighters I see. It wasn't even a fight,

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.519
bro. I think Cruz came out. early in the first

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:40.519
round, like trying to, you know, she jumped on

00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:44.320
it. Clarissa kept up momentum and stuck to her

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.779
game plan. Yeah, 38 years old, you don't fight

00:15:47.779 --> 00:15:52.600
a lot, you know. Right. You have a, some can

00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:57.340
come out hot in a sense, but, you know, she came

00:15:57.340 --> 00:15:59.340
out hot and none of the hot stuff was working.

00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:01.940
I could tell that weight, the weight, I could

00:16:01.940 --> 00:16:04.059
tell during the press, like she wasn't really

00:16:04.059 --> 00:16:06.940
ready. Like, especially like the weigh -ins when

00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:11.100
the brawl happened. I knew then that she, I felt

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:12.980
like what Clarissa said, she was looking for

00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:15.740
a way out of the fight. Me personally, I just,

00:16:15.820 --> 00:16:18.139
I felt, I sensed it. That's why I ain't even

00:16:18.139 --> 00:16:20.740
bothered to purchase it. But thank God, you know,

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:25.299
somebody streamed it. But I just, I kind of knew

00:16:25.299 --> 00:16:27.059
it was going to be a Clarissa type night, you

00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:30.230
know, based off the vibe. Like, I knew. like

00:16:30.230 --> 00:16:32.289
you know what i'm saying and then uh uh gotta

00:16:32.289 --> 00:16:35.450
add in the music side my boy boozy walked out

00:16:35.450 --> 00:16:39.250
you know to set it off like he he he walked out

00:16:39.250 --> 00:16:43.450
you know it was dope uh introduction i mean you

00:16:43.450 --> 00:16:46.730
know a great night for her congratulations yeah

00:16:46.730 --> 00:16:49.389
definitely what was you saying bro well finish

00:16:49.389 --> 00:16:53.210
what you were saying for fighters a lot of the

00:16:53.210 --> 00:16:57.700
fighters they come from a background who have

00:16:57.700 --> 00:17:02.559
hype versus fighters who have you know hype and

00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:09.759
you know pack a house capability um it's right

00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.240
now it's gonna be considered to that's those

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:14.599
gonna be the fights i can tell you know i can

00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.579
tell every like if don king was was the was the

00:17:18.579 --> 00:17:21.859
headline of everything right now you know it

00:17:21.859 --> 00:17:25.220
might be different but You know, Don wanted to

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:27.960
see fights. A lot of these promoters now just

00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.180
seem like they want to see a dollar in, you know,

00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:35.339
for the black side of things, the way it looks.

00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:41.119
You know, it doesn't look like a... a thing where

00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.960
again we're gonna see a great fight for a long

00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:46.819
time i mean i'm talking both sides now i mean

00:17:46.819 --> 00:17:49.920
it's it's a lot of ducking too bro yeah you don't

00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.420
meet me being a wrestler bro me being a wrestler

00:17:52.420 --> 00:17:54.819
i can tell you like you know you can drop weight

00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:58.460
and like if this opponent is more dangerous we

00:17:58.460 --> 00:18:01.680
scouting you try to drop five pounds to get in

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:06.000
130 over 135 like it's a lot of strategic planning

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.880
into combat sports like behind the scenes like

00:18:09.230 --> 00:18:12.089
Yeah, of course, every fighter is looking for

00:18:12.089 --> 00:18:15.230
that advantage point. You know what I'm saying?

00:18:15.450 --> 00:18:19.990
That's the key of it. Fighters are smart, too.

00:18:20.390 --> 00:18:23.009
Yeah, you have your fighters that want to fight

00:18:23.009 --> 00:18:25.890
the best, but they ain't going to be stupid.

00:18:26.109 --> 00:18:28.589
All of them are looking for advantage in some

00:18:28.589 --> 00:18:32.150
way when they fight these people. A one -up,

00:18:32.170 --> 00:18:33.970
that's it. They might put it off for years. Yeah,

00:18:33.990 --> 00:18:37.289
that's a one -up. They get older, you know, and

00:18:37.289 --> 00:18:40.279
running back. What's going on? It's your boy

00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:43.319

Uno, that's when you really find out, though.

00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:45.440
All that press conference, the lead up, that

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.140
means nothing compared to when you step in that

00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:49.660
ring, and that's when you find out. And that's

00:19:49.660 --> 00:19:53.339
the part of what I'm saying. I think that's the

00:19:53.339 --> 00:19:58.400
part that's became the ugly part for Shields,

00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.980
really. A lot of people, she made such a big

00:20:01.980 --> 00:20:07.660
impact with the people. innocence now and people

00:20:07.660 --> 00:20:10.579
know her outside of boxing and people want to

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:14.240
always come you know i i hate when you know they

00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:16.579
always try to mix the person you know the regular

00:20:16.579 --> 00:20:20.000
life with the box of life you know yeah yeah

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:23.039
she cleans up nice but again she's still a boxer

00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:24.920
at the end of the day like you said she's already

00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:26.839
admitted her flaws but at the end of the day

00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:29.019
that's what she wanted to be a fighter a boxer

00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.259
And that's why when I see her, when she's with

00:20:32.259 --> 00:20:35.740
Papoose and when she's trying to do things out

00:20:35.740 --> 00:20:38.660
of her ordinary, that I feel like ain't her.

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.339
You know, I have a problem with that because

00:20:41.339 --> 00:20:44.420
I'm like, no, stick to being Clarissa, the gold

00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:48.880
medalist, you know, the humble kid, you know,

00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.720
that wanted to fight, that didn't care about

00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.759
getting on no magazine cover. You coming there

00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.640
to fight. You know, don't get caught up in this

00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.819
world and try to. Live up to what the world wants

00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:02.259
you to be because they calling you ugly or you

00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:04.819
ain't this or that. No, stick to what got you

00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:07.900
here. These people that talk and say things about

00:21:07.900 --> 00:21:10.880
you, like you say, they wasn't in the gym with

00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:13.980
you. They wasn't doing all this stuff. Like you

00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:15.920
did all this stuff. You're the reason why you're

00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:18.940
here. So don't let stuff get to your head and

00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:21.779
change you into something else. Like, you know,

00:21:21.819 --> 00:21:25.279
you're a fighter. That's how I fell in love with

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.160
you, because of your fight, not your outside

00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.279
ring antics and beefing on with Remy and rapping.

00:21:32.619 --> 00:21:39.000
No, you're a fighter. And for history's sake,

00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:43.839
it's still a congratulatory situation there for

00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:47.779
you, Clarissa, if you manage to cross this one.

00:21:48.490 --> 00:21:52.109
And Layla Edwards. Shout out to Layla. Big, big

00:21:52.109 --> 00:21:55.029
shout out to you, too. Y 'all both made a history

00:21:55.029 --> 00:21:58.710
run. Made me proud. This week. And gave us something

00:21:58.710 --> 00:22:02.910
more to talk about. Some more histories to push.

00:22:03.130 --> 00:22:06.930
Because, again, it's rare to see these days because

00:22:06.930 --> 00:22:11.250
we was talking about AI technology. And the class

00:22:11.250 --> 00:22:13.170
earlier today was a short class. It was like

00:22:13.170 --> 00:22:15.230
30 minute class. But basically, you know, they

00:22:15.230 --> 00:22:16.730
was talking about, man, I don't know if I need

00:22:16.730 --> 00:22:19.430
to congratulate AI or congratulate a designer

00:22:19.430 --> 00:22:21.650
nowadays because you don't know who's doing what.

00:22:21.829 --> 00:22:25.190
But luckily we are amongst some of the ones that

00:22:25.190 --> 00:22:28.130
still get to be actual active and doing things.

00:22:28.769 --> 00:22:32.250
And I love it. I love it, man. But yeah, it's

00:22:32.250 --> 00:22:35.109
rare to see these moments and occasions. I'm

00:22:35.109 --> 00:22:38.450
glad we can get to see them. You know, I still

00:22:38.450 --> 00:22:42.880
ride on that. that that history thing in some

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:47.779
ways and giving people something to have from

00:22:47.779 --> 00:22:51.160
years from now versus just some bs to jump on

00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.599
these websites and look at so you know these

00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:56.960
these are the ones that mean something to me

00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.359
and you know i know to you too um especially

00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:03.759
some of the ones that we can connect to um especially

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.019
you were you is you you have you have a sense

00:23:07.019 --> 00:23:10.720
of knowing to Being in rings and stuff like that,

00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:18.940
knowing how it would be to be a fighter and her

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:23.079
eyes and y 'all can kind of... Yeah, the work

00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:25.480
they put. That's why I listen to the training,

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:28.819
the losing, cutting weight, the gaining weight.

00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:33.240
Yeah, man. It's tough, man. It's a battle for

00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:38.529
history to be made in a sense. So those that

00:23:38.529 --> 00:23:41.430
don't know, you know, you have an idea of what

00:23:41.430 --> 00:23:44.809
your lifestyle would be if you're going to become

00:23:44.809 --> 00:23:46.869
a boxer or you're going to get into hockey or

00:23:46.869 --> 00:23:49.400
something to that nature. You know, just know

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.579
that it's never going to be one of those, you

00:23:51.579 --> 00:23:54.920
got to work at your craft, you know. Can't step

00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:57.480
in it halfway. You want to be the best? You can

00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:01.660
make history. I mean, like LeBron. Hey, LeBron

00:24:01.660 --> 00:24:03.539
made history. It took him 20 -something years

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:05.200
to make it. Who's going to be the next nothing

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.059
LeBron? So, I mean, it's always records to go

00:24:08.059 --> 00:24:10.640
for, y 'all. Like, you know, don't look at what

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:12.619
we're saying as if, like, oh, don't go play basketball

00:24:12.619 --> 00:24:15.059
or don't go play football. Regardless of, just

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:17.670
go be great at it, man. Don't look at the, and

00:24:17.670 --> 00:24:19.849
this is something else too. Stop looking at all

00:24:19.849 --> 00:24:22.009
of the NIL hype. Stop looking at all the money

00:24:22.009 --> 00:24:23.769
hype. Stop looking at all the, you know, what

00:24:23.769 --> 00:24:26.809
your deal is going to be. All that'll come if

00:24:26.809 --> 00:24:28.490
you're doing what you're supposed to do. If you're

00:24:28.490 --> 00:24:29.910
doing what you're supposed to do, the money ain't

00:24:29.910 --> 00:24:31.750
going to be no problem. But I think some of y

00:24:31.750 --> 00:24:34.569
'all leading into these sports now, looking at

00:24:34.569 --> 00:24:36.430
the dollar and y 'all ain't putting out the word.

00:24:36.790 --> 00:24:39.250
So, remember, put out the work, then get the

00:24:39.250 --> 00:24:41.369
money. Like, the money will come to you if you're

00:24:41.369 --> 00:24:43.309
putting in the work. So, we ain't going to run

00:24:43.309 --> 00:24:45.150
around. Can I ask you something, man? Yeah. A

00:24:45.150 --> 00:24:47.309
little quick question. Yeah. Do you think, okay,

00:24:47.509 --> 00:24:50.309
with boxing, since we talking about boxing and

00:24:50.309 --> 00:24:56.109
culture, do you think boxing has became, this

00:24:56.109 --> 00:24:58.009
is one thing I believe, I believe boxing has

00:24:58.009 --> 00:25:01.230
became a little racist. Like, do you think racism

00:25:01.230 --> 00:25:04.130
is pushed heavy in boxing now? Like, you know,

00:25:04.150 --> 00:25:07.150
you have your Mexican fighter versus. your african

00:25:07.150 --> 00:25:09.450
-american fighters and it's always seemed like

00:25:09.450 --> 00:25:12.690
they always try to plot you know the mexicans

00:25:12.690 --> 00:25:16.369
against the blacks and like you had teo what's

00:25:16.369 --> 00:25:20.630
his name teo that fall um shakur saying racist

00:25:20.630 --> 00:25:24.109
things calling black people monkeys and like

00:25:24.109 --> 00:25:27.789
do you think now that boxing is more of the vision

00:25:27.789 --> 00:25:30.769
instead of like nowadays i mean you had your

00:25:30.769 --> 00:25:33.230
pacquiao and your floyd mayweather's back in

00:25:33.230 --> 00:25:35.829
the day Like, you know, Floyd Mayweather came

00:25:35.829 --> 00:25:40.250
out with the Mexican, you know, attire. Like,

00:25:40.369 --> 00:25:43.670
you know, when he fought Oscar De La Hoya. Like,

00:25:43.690 --> 00:25:47.230
do you think is more of that now? Like racism

00:25:47.230 --> 00:25:49.650
in the sport, a division in the sport now than

00:25:49.650 --> 00:25:52.789
it was back then? I think it's still I think

00:25:52.789 --> 00:25:56.170
it's really just still due to years and years

00:25:56.170 --> 00:26:04.740
of. Years and years of trying to have both. countries

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:06.940
competing against each other let's say that yeah

00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:09.619
i really i really think and i'm gonna be honest

00:26:09.619 --> 00:26:13.559
i mean this is even saying we was talking about

00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:17.519
the the the boxer air so let's just say you remember

00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:23.140
how tyson holyfield you know buster douglas tyson

00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:29.759
Or you had the Sugar Ray, or you had the Muhammad

00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:33.240
Ali's. They were only fighting black fighters

00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:36.759
at that time, remember? And you had all of these

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:40.039
other countries that were outside looking in

00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:43.500
like, wait a minute, we're good like that. Why

00:26:43.500 --> 00:26:46.940
we can't fight? You remember the lines? Now,

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.359
let's be honest. I really think it was really

00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:51.660
the first racist lines that might have messed

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:54.230
it up. yeah to make it get to the point where

00:26:54.230 --> 00:26:56.970
it is now the way it is that ugliness that's

00:26:56.970 --> 00:27:00.170
there you can tell this is it is there is an

00:27:00.170 --> 00:27:06.569
ugly side to it that i think um uh you got it's

00:27:06.569 --> 00:27:08.349
a mexican fighter that said he didn't want to

00:27:08.349 --> 00:27:11.470
fight mexicans no more because we all because

00:27:11.470 --> 00:27:15.049
it was like we all are hungry i don't feel like

00:27:15.049 --> 00:27:17.690
fighting my fellow mexicans yeah now i was like

00:27:17.690 --> 00:27:20.369
now what if a black fighter was to say i don't

00:27:20.369 --> 00:27:21.990
want to fight black fighters no more how would

00:27:21.990 --> 00:27:24.609
that be taken the world would stop i mean it's

00:27:24.609 --> 00:27:28.869
this is that's why i'm glad that we had have

00:27:28.869 --> 00:27:32.250
history in fighting black black you know in in

00:27:32.250 --> 00:27:34.589
the ring man because you know there's a lot of

00:27:34.589 --> 00:27:36.670
the greatest and this is something to add to

00:27:36.670 --> 00:27:39.170
that other what you was asking notice some of

00:27:39.170 --> 00:27:42.529
the greatest fights were black black Right, right.

00:27:42.690 --> 00:27:44.670
We go pull them up on YouTube. Black history.

00:27:45.150 --> 00:27:47.750
Yeah, we go up on YouTube. We got 100 million

00:27:47.750 --> 00:27:49.950
views on our black fights. I'm being honest.

00:27:50.170 --> 00:27:52.450
So you can't hate on us. We don't need them to

00:27:52.450 --> 00:27:56.230
sell a fight. Thank you. We don't need them to

00:27:56.230 --> 00:27:59.130
sell a fight. We are the fight. That's the point.

00:27:59.210 --> 00:28:01.950
That's the point. Now, that's what I'll basically

00:28:01.950 --> 00:28:04.470
get to. I hate to say it, but like you was basically

00:28:04.470 --> 00:28:06.779
saying. They are probably going to hate because,

00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.160
yeah, we are the face of the sport in America.

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:12.759
I'm sorry. Y 'all can't hate on me. Look, if

00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:16.039
you tuned in to watch Floyd Mather either win

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:19.180
or lose, you didn't tune in to see the other

00:28:19.180 --> 00:28:21.619
opponent. Nope. So that's the power I'm talking

00:28:21.619 --> 00:28:24.779
about. Muhammad Ali, if you didn't like him,

00:28:24.819 --> 00:28:27.779
you tuned in to see if he was going to lose or

00:28:27.779 --> 00:28:34.160
not. Thank you. Shakur, Shields last night. I

00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:36.819
guarantee a lot of them tuned in to see us. She

00:28:36.819 --> 00:28:39.720
probably going to get either win or lose. That's

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:43.619
the, that's the point right there. I think that's

00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:45.799
what it, to me, that's what I feel it is. They

00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.700
don't like the, they want to take out the top

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:51.839
names and make the top names look small. You

00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:54.019
know, they love the crash out of the black, the

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:56.200
black individual. They love the crash out. They

00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:58.880
love the downfall. Yeah. And I think that's really

00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:02.880
the sake of that being the way it is. I mean,

00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:05.259
I don't think it really would even change, even

00:29:05.259 --> 00:29:09.920
if it was, let's say, if we was trying to allow,

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:15.920
let's say, Japanese fighters in, right? We are

00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:18.819
not going to get the same type of reaction just

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:20.940
because I just really think the Latino community

00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:24.980
is basically on that same thing we on. And, you

00:29:24.980 --> 00:29:27.359
know, the reckless part of it, they don't mind

00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:29.599
being reckless, talking junk, you know, whatever

00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:32.619
it is to bring excitement to the sport, too.

00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:34.339
I think that's slightly what it is, too, though.

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:37.740
But who knows, man? But that's just my opinion.

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:40.799
That's my opinion. Yeah, great conversation,

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.380
though, man. But, y 'all, it's a thing, too.

00:29:44.910 --> 00:29:49.829
just a thing to have, you know, good, good people

00:29:49.829 --> 00:29:53.789
in a sport, you know, whether it's, I mean, I

00:29:53.789 --> 00:29:56.329
hate to say it, but like black, this is one sport

00:29:56.329 --> 00:30:00.230
that we can say that, you know, we really thrived

00:30:00.230 --> 00:30:04.029
in for years. Every year, you know, we have a

00:30:04.029 --> 00:30:06.670
fighter that's going to be talked about, you

00:30:06.670 --> 00:30:08.670
know, that's, it's a beautiful thing. It's rare,

00:30:08.910 --> 00:30:12.329
but we have a sport, you know, I mean, I can't.

00:30:12.859 --> 00:30:15.279
And talk about these people good deeds, man.

00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.220
I'm sorry to cut in. This is the last I want

00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:21.420
to say. Let's stop dragging our black historian

00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:25.420
individuals that's doing big things, man. It's

00:30:25.420 --> 00:30:28.400
already hard enough. We already have enough obstacles

00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:32.799
against us out here. Man, look at the play on

00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:35.279
the field. Look at the stuff they're doing for

00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:38.799
the communities. I see family bashing family,

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:44.559
Clarissa family coming out. yo if like nobody's

00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:47.359
perfect and she had like if something happened

00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:50.599
outside the ring don't don't drown all that other

00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:52.900
stuff out with the good stuff the great stuff

00:30:52.900 --> 00:30:55.579
she's doing right now i think that's what's wrong

00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:57.720
with like you know the black community we gotta

00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:01.480
stop trying to drown our black people and like

00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:03.839
let's uplift that like let's shout their good

00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:05.819
things and our good deeds and our accomplishments

00:31:05.819 --> 00:31:08.660
more than we shout their downfalls and their

00:31:08.660 --> 00:31:12.220
bad let's let's do that Every other race does

00:31:12.220 --> 00:31:15.839
that. Let's do more of that. Uplifting instead

00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.299
of tearing our brother and sister down. It don't

00:31:18.299 --> 00:31:20.299
take long to do that either. It don't take long

00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:23.559
to say congratulations. It don't take long to

00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:25.460
clap your hands for somebody. It don't take long

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:28.140
to pat somebody on the back. You did a great

00:31:28.140 --> 00:31:33.859
job. Great fight. Being showing graciousness

00:31:33.859 --> 00:31:37.059
to somebody. uh it's something that you know

00:31:37.059 --> 00:31:38.940
we was talking about being taught things that's

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:41.259
something that you know sometimes it's in somebody

00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:43.339
to do it you know but sometimes it has to be

00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:45.680
taught so at the end of the day if you don't

00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:47.839
know how to congratulate somebody if you don't

00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.119
know how to tell somebody a good job if you don't

00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:51.920
know how to tell somebody or clap your hands

00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:57.579
Way to go. All of this stuff is flowers. This

00:31:57.579 --> 00:32:02.000
could be towards a child that's at school. Your

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:04.000
child comes home. I know that some of y 'all

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:05.980
don't even do this. Congratulate your kids for

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:12.980
successful days at school. Out of all the things,

00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:16.400
one of the key things I see that can be taught.

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:19.480
That's one thing I see. Teach your kids how to

00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:21.500
be gracious, have some graciousness, how to be

00:32:21.500 --> 00:32:23.359
humble, how to be, you know, and be thankful.

00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:26.339
And also that comes from you showing it to them.

00:32:27.059 --> 00:32:30.359
What's a good example of that? So, like I said,

00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:32.000
come home when they get home from school, house

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:33.779
school. Congratulate them. Yeah, congratulate

00:32:33.779 --> 00:32:35.539
them. Oh, you did a great job. That's amazing.

00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:38.539
Keep up the good work. There you go. Something

00:32:38.539 --> 00:32:41.480
like that motivates people. That translates.

00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:43.940
That motivates people, man. And that translates

00:32:43.940 --> 00:32:47.740
to years and years of kindness to the world,

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:49.700
man. And you don't know what your child could

00:32:49.700 --> 00:32:52.700
give to somebody else. It could go even further.

00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.259
And it could just branch off to even more. We

00:32:55.259 --> 00:32:56.859
don't know. I hope they hear this part. They

00:32:56.859 --> 00:32:59.500
need to hear that clip. Yeah. Parents, the parents,

00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:02.119
bro. It's really the parents. Like you, we always

00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:04.299
speak of the youth. That's how we go. We should,

00:33:04.339 --> 00:33:06.920
you know, start by helping the youth by even

00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.640
just showing, like I say, kindness, graciousness,

00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:13.740
love, you know, and nothing, nothing to the point

00:33:13.740 --> 00:33:15.900
where you don't even have to show it online.

00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:17.740
You don't have to get online and show your pictures

00:33:17.740 --> 00:33:20.180
and show all your videos. Do it for the child.

00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:22.920
We don't need to, don't let the world don't need

00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.930
to know. The child needs to know. The child needs

00:33:25.930 --> 00:33:29.329
to know. And one thing about the Clarissa thing,

00:33:29.450 --> 00:33:31.410
she had her niece, she had the little girl with

00:33:31.410 --> 00:33:34.890
her everywhere last night. And I love that because

00:33:34.890 --> 00:33:37.789
she's showing that young lady, that little girl,

00:33:37.910 --> 00:33:40.450
that anything is possible and you can do amazing

00:33:40.450 --> 00:33:43.970
things. She brought her to the post -conference

00:33:43.970 --> 00:33:46.950
and all that. She got to see her win. I love

00:33:46.950 --> 00:33:49.849
that because she don't even know she's inspiring

00:33:49.849 --> 00:33:52.829
that young lady, that little girl, just by doing

00:33:52.829 --> 00:33:54.960
it. You know what I'm saying? And that goes into

00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:59.079
the part that I always like to talk about. Help.

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:04.700
We can help our own. We can help everything in

00:34:04.700 --> 00:34:07.720
our household. We can help our household. We

00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:10.860
don't have to start outside. Like you said, bring

00:34:10.860 --> 00:34:14.500
your kids, bring your nieces, bring your nephews

00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:17.920
around, bring your cousins around, the youth

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:21.889
around you so they can see it in real time. So

00:34:21.889 --> 00:34:24.190
they can understand what it's like in real time.

00:34:24.389 --> 00:34:27.929
I mean, even though we're older, if you feel

00:34:27.929 --> 00:34:29.829
like you still want help, if you want help with

00:34:29.829 --> 00:34:32.769
something, ask for it. Even if you're past the

00:34:32.769 --> 00:34:35.170
point of, man, I ain't get that kind of reaction.

00:34:35.369 --> 00:34:37.469
My parents ain't give me that when I was young.

00:34:37.690 --> 00:34:39.809
Guess what? You can start. You can be the one

00:34:39.809 --> 00:34:42.809
to start for your child. So start a generational

00:34:42.809 --> 00:34:45.070
thing to help the next generation. Now, we all

00:34:45.070 --> 00:34:47.170
need it. We all need love, y 'all. So at the

00:34:47.170 --> 00:34:50.889
end of the day, if you need help, get help. You

00:34:50.889 --> 00:34:52.269
got anything to say, bro, before I close it out?

00:34:52.869 --> 00:34:55.809
Nah, that's it. I said a lot. Hey, man. Autism

00:34:55.809 --> 00:34:59.050
speaks. Y 'all, people, love y 'all. Y 'all hang

00:34:59.050 --> 00:35:02.769
in there. Don't give up. Keep smiling. Keep working

00:35:02.769 --> 00:35:04.889
out these situations. I see you working through

00:35:04.889 --> 00:35:06.929
them. You know, I know it's tough. I go through

00:35:06.929 --> 00:35:08.789
them times, too. But guess what? God is still

00:35:08.789 --> 00:35:10.849
real. And we can believe in something that's

00:35:10.849 --> 00:35:12.670
higher than what we could ever see on this earth.

00:35:12.769 --> 00:35:15.489
All right? We are out. Not Just Music Podcast.

00:35:15.769 --> 00:35:17.230
We love y 'all. Peace. Love.
