So what's the case in,

23
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,240
I'll throw a timeline so

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
we getting close to the time of Thanksgiving right?

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,640
So let me ask this question.

26
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:15,680
This holiday season.

27
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,280
Yeah.

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,480
What do you do, Thanksgiving,

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,840
what do you normally do Thanksgiving?

30
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,640
What's your, you usually go,

31
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,000
some of the mommas, grandparents, what do you do?

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,300
My tradition has been,

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,680
well, before the pandemic we was going out

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,900
and stuff like that.

35
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,920
Since then, I normally cook a thing at my house.

36
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:46,120
I have moms come over and cook me something at the house.

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,400
And I might go out, you know what I'm saying,

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,360
to her husband's family, cause they real cool.

39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,080
Shout out to my mom, husband, the whole family,

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,720
the house, shout out to y'all man.

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,600
Y'all treat me like family.

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,880
So normally we go over to their people's house,

43
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,320
stuff like that.

44
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,480
But we always have something to where we have

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,600
when we come back to the house, the crib.

46
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:15,520
Cause my thing is, I don't be one to eat a lot,

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,880
cause I know it's people probably that need the food

48
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,520
when we go out to eat, you know what I'm saying.

49
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,080
So I try to be courteous, I eat when I get home.

50
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,040
Yeah, that's mainly how I do my Thanksgiving.

51
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,200
What about you bro?

52
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,960
I always hang with family, I'm always with family.

53
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,760
If I'm not with the in-laws, I'm with my parents,

54
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,720
I'm with my parents, I'm with the in-laws.

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Okay.

56
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,480
Ain't too much outside of that.

57
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,120
That's just my, that's always been my level.

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,200
People, friends, you know, I've been people, friends,

59
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,040
houses and stuff like that.

60
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,600
Don't get me wrong, but I, we cook at the crib.

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,440
Yeah.

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,280
I grill.

63
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,320
That's the best way to be.

64
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,480
I grill a turkey every year.

65
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,400
I used to fry one every year.

66
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,920
But I done started smoking that turkey boy.

67
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:11,160
Changed my life.

68
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,000
I do this.

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,840
Now you giving ideas.

70
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,960
I smoke a whole turkey bro.

71
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,680
I smoke a whole turkey on my grill.

72
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,160
That's the joy for me.

73
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,840
Smoke a turkey and a chicken.

74
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,640
I do this, turkey and a chicken.

75
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:24,840
Every whole turkey, whole chicken.

76
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,480
You gotta have the turkey too man.

77
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,440
I'm a firm believer you gotta have a turkey on Thanksgiving.

78
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,120
I don't play bro, that's why.

79
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,920
I was just telling, I think I talk about one of my dads

80
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,520
like time to get my turkey.

81
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,120
Hey, I'm gonna say wait, turkey is a mutt.

82
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,160
Turkey is a need.

83
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,040
Some people be like they don't need turkey.

84
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,800
Man, I gotta have a bird on this.

85
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,400
Gotta have the turkey man.

86
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,400
Gotta have that bird.

87
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,280
So, as a.

88
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,600
Ready now.

89
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,920
As a person of being that.

90
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,200
What's one thing that you gonna be thankful for this year?

91
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,280
What's your thankful, what's your thankful point?

92
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,040
What you got, what you got?

93
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,320
Number one, God kept me alive.

94
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,760
To see another Thanksgiving, another year.

95
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,600
Secondly, my family, I consider you family too bro.

96
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,040
We all good, alive, good spirits.

97
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,600
And prospering, that's another thing I'm thankful for.

98
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,120
Thirdly, my accomplishments this year.

99
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,120
The movie, the music, stuff like that.

100
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,920
My personal goals that I achieved.

101
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,920
I'm thankful for that.

102
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:47,040
And I said my kids, my kids is with family.

103
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,600
So, I mean, I'm thankful for them of course.

104
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,960
Man, that's pretty much it.

105
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,160
And keeping God first man.

106
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,080
And letting God direct me every step and every direction man.

107
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,160
Let me tell you what I'm thankful for.

108
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,760
Real love.

109
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,840
Wow, that's what I'm thankful for.

110
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,080
I'm searching for a real love.

111
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,080
I'm searching for a real love.

112
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,600
And again, it's hard to find it.

113
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,600
And I'm glad that with the couple people that I know

114
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,160
that are willing to reciprocate it back bro.

115
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Yeah.

116
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,560
I'm not gonna sit here and act as if

117
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,440
that's not the beautifulest thing in the world bro.

118
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,320
Even if it's coming from the kids,

119
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,800
whether it's coming from spouse,

120
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,200
whether it's coming from parents,

121
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,720
whether it's coming from a friend,

122
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,400
whether it's coming from a coworker.

123
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,240
It's rare bro.

124
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,080
It's rare.

125
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:42,920
Real love is rare.

126
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,520
And if somebody shows it to you, take it,

127
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,600
even if it's one person in a day.

128
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,520
Like if somebody, if I just get one hug in a day,

129
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,840
that changes the whole course of the day.

130
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:54,680
Yeah.

131
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,520
You know what I'm saying?

132
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,640
Like that changes the whole course of the day.

133
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,400
So I'm starting to look at those little things

134
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,160
that I wasn't paying attention to.

135
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,240
Just something as small as a hug or a handshake

136
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,440
or a doubt or like a text.

137
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,280
Like good morning.

138
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,880
Yeah, something people, that's the best you man.

139
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,520
That's a blessing to get that dawg.

140
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Like that's, I mean even the,

141
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,240
and this is one thing I want people to realize too.

142
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,880
Don't be too stuck up to speak to that,

143
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,320
to that homeless person that spoke to you.

144
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,160
Facts.

145
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,800
Like take your, if they spoke to you,

146
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,400
take the time to say, hey, how you doing?

147
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,960
Speak back.

148
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,760
Cause we all one step away from being homeless or something.

149
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,600
Bad decision, direction.

150
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,440
Yeah boy.

151
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,640
Like you know what I'm saying?

152
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,480
Yeah.

153
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,320
That will humble you.

154
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,560
Like I don't look down on them man

155
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,640
because we all one step, you know,

156
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,960
one decision, one layoff, you know,

157
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,840
not in our direction, you know, from going homeless bro.

158
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:52,480
And people don't pay that attention.

159
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,760
And people don't pay that attention.

160
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,680
Like that's one thing I know now differently

161
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,160
than you know, I did years ago.

162
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,920
You know, don't look on,

163
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,960
stop looking at people's situation

164
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,720
as if that's permanent.

165
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,000
Like I've seen a guy literally completely homeless

166
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,720
and then move back up the,

167
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,560
start off in a hotel,

168
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,280
work his way up to an apartment,

169
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,640
work his way from an apartment back into a house.

170
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,280
Like it's levels to it.

171
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,600
When God put his hands on it, it's gonna be done.

172
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,440
Yeah.

173
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Look at, y'all gotta start.

174
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,760
And another thing too,

175
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,680
stop looking at that outer package.

176
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,040
It's a bad thing.

177
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,320
Like when I first bought my house,

178
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,800
you know, that's one thing I,

179
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,240
people come into my house and look at it

180
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,720
and they'd be like, man, this is a very nice house.

181
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:38,840
Boy, I wish you could have saw it

182
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,280
the day I walked in that book, the first time.

183
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,120
Yeah.

184
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:42,960
Yeah.

185
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,800
Yeah.

186
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,640
Yeah.

187
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,480
Yeah.

188
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,320
Yeah.

189
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,160
Yeah.

190
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:47,980
Yeah.

191
00:07:47,980 --> 00:07:48,820
Talk to them.

192
00:07:48,820 --> 00:07:50,720
Let me just tell, let me give y'all a quick story.

193
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,400
Like it's okay to take some,

194
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,600
another man's trash is another man's trash, literally.

195
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,080
You know, if you take what you have,

196
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,140
and again, you don't have to start off

197
00:08:06,140 --> 00:08:09,400
with a brand stinking new house.

198
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,200
Start from the bottom, work your way up.

199
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,080
You can go get something that's at the bottom

200
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,740
and people look at it like, okay,

201
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,440
man, this is a nice house.

202
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,800
And I'm thinking like, dog, I got this out the mug.

203
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,960
If you saw this mug today.

204
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,280
That's crazy, you saying this confirmation, man.

205
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,640
Bro, that house I got, man,

206
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,840
like it's a blessing, shout out to Mom Dukes

207
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,820
and shout out to Tom Moody.

208
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,920
That's how I got into that house.

209
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,920
If you want to for mom Dukes, well mom and pops.

210
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Well, mom Dukes, cause she was the one going with me to-

211
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,840
Yeah, mama gonna handle business.

212
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,120
To help me get in, but at the same time, you know,

213
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,160
it's her and Tom Moody, if it wasn't for them two,

214
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,640
that situation never would have came about.

215
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,080
And I remember when Tom took me to it,

216
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,440
you know, he was just telling me about the situation.

217
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,760
Look into foreclosure homes.

218
00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:07,400
Look into foreclosure homes.

219
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840
I'm telling all y'all that are struggling,

220
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,340
looking for somewhere to stay and you want a house,

221
00:09:13,340 --> 00:09:15,400
try looking into a foreclosed home.

222
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,120
You can get some gems out of there

223
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,240
and you'll never even know it.

224
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,080
Luckily the-

225
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,320
So your house is foreclosed?

226
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,440
It was a foreclosed home.

227
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,520
Okay.

228
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,760
It was a foreclosed home.

229
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,360
So you dropping gems right now,

230
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,640
that people probably, y'all need to pay attention.

231
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,920
It's a foreclosure, I mean, I just,

232
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,140
I saw something in it, you know.

233
00:09:38,740 --> 00:09:42,280
Wifey saw something in it, more so me though.

234
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,320
I saw something in it and I went with it.

235
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,760
And then the reason why I'm saying that,

236
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,200
just like with, I say, don't look down

237
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,600
on a homeless person, man.

238
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,600
Y'all could be overlooking a gem and don't even know it.

239
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,440
Exactly.

240
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Y'all could be overlooking a whole gem

241
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,440
and don't even know it.

242
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,040
Yeah, it's a thing now,

243
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,040
how you overlook something that could have been

244
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,400
a possible help for your own good, for your own use.

245
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,600
It could have been your next husband.

246
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,660
It could have been your next wife.

247
00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:20,800
It could have been your next coworker.

248
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,720
It could have been your next admin.

249
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,480
It could have been your next line guy.

250
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,600
It could have been your, I mean,

251
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,000
you don't know what it could have been.

252
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,360
It could have been your next,

253
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:31,960
if you're a musician,

254
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,080
it could have been your next lead singer.

255
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,480
It could have been, I mean, it could be anything,

256
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,320
but my thing is, is if you keep looking at that outer cover,

257
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,520
the outside cover, how far are you really going to get?

258
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:48,280
So let me ask you this, bruh.

259
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,520
Yeah.

260
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,600
Along your years of coming up,

261
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,800
have you always known people

262
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,640
that's always been in great positions?

263
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,360
Heck no.

264
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,440
So give me your examples of knowing people

265
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,640
that you could say they didn't look like

266
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,520
what they were going through.

267
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,360
My mama?

268
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,680
Yeah, that was the first example.

269
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:23,680
Cause my mom was working, but you never could tell.

270
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,520
She never showed it.

271
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,200
I never seen her cry.

272
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,360
And now she tell me, she used to cry in the car

273
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,560
before she came in the house.

274
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,400
She didn't want me to see her crying.

275
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,240
You know what I'm saying?

276
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,880
A lot of times she was up at night, I was asleep,

277
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,360
she crying, you know what I'm saying?

278
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,720
Trying to figure out how we gonna do this, do that.

279
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,640
So my mom was the first example, man.

280
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,720
That was the first example.

281
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,040
My grandma also, I know she's in there so much.

282
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,240
And to this day, I never really seen her cry.

283
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,200
I never really seen her show it.

284
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,960
And recently I went down my grandma's house.

285
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,240
It was the first time it broke my heart.

286
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,240
But I went down my grandma's house

287
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,080
and she was coming outside with the trash.

288
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,320
And I looked at her, it looked like she was crying.

289
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,040
I was shocked cause I ain't never seen my grandma weak.

290
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,160
I said I ain't gonna cry this weak,

291
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,320
but sat down like this.

292
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,600
Always been strong.

293
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,560
Like you all right, mama?

294
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:22,040
I took the trash, I'm like you okay?

295
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,240
She's like, I'm just tired, I'm just tired.

296
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,600
Like her voice was like this.

297
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,960
And I was like, man, that broke my heart.

298
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,800
You know what I'm saying?

299
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Change your outlook on what you feel, right?

300
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,040
Yeah, yeah.

301
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,440
So I mean, those two are the prime examples

302
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,080
of what you just asked.

303
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,480
This is what I think, man.

304
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,440
This is what I think.

305
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,440
Mine were not even just my friends,

306
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,200
but it was a couple people that I went to school with, bruh.

307
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,200
Like I knew this one girl and her brother

308
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,000
when I went to, basically to my middle school,

309
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,720
elementary school and middle school with them.

310
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,040
I remember when in elementary school,

311
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,520
they might have been okay.

312
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,080
But I remember junior year,

313
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,280
well going into my junior high school years,

314
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,280
the mother, I remember literally seeing her

315
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,400
dropping them off, right?

316
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,720
And in the case of, you know how you see somebody

317
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,400
putting clothes together in a car?

318
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,400
Like literally, she literally was changing her clothes

319
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,640
so she could go to work from dropping them off at school.

320
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:40,200
But this is one thing I noticed though, bruh.

321
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,200
Pillows, tissue, household products, all in the car,

322
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,760
trunk full, clothes, shoes, her kids clothes.

323
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,840
I noticed it and I was like, hmm.

324
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,840
You don't know anybody's situation.

325
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,320
There's a lot of that going on today.

326
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,120
But the case of you see it and you don't recognize it though.

327
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,480
You can't tell if it's really that bad off

328
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,840
until unless they actually tell you.

329
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,680
But I remember the guy was actually one of my close friends,

330
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:15,280
the crazy part, ran track with him,

331
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,080
played football with him, everything.

332
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,240
He was actually open about it one time.

333
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,680
He was like, bro, you never probably even would have known

334
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,720
that we was broke, bro.

335
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,360
Mama got kicked out the house,

336
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,880
pops said love, so we ain't having nowhere to go.

337
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,920
Only thing we could do was stand and call mama.

338
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,120
Like dog.

339
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,520
But again, you see these people,

340
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,640
you never know something's going on.

341
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,080
And that's why I tell people,

342
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,760
when you get in your bad situation, don't give up.

343
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,320
You know what, I'm one of the kind of people

344
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,480
I'll really be wanting to help.

345
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,840
Them type of people right there.

346
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,680
I know we talk about Thanksgiving way, Thanksgiving way.

347
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,800
You just said a prime example of what we looking for.

348
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,120
Like people like that, who we wanna help.

349
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,360
Not saying everybody need help,

350
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,960
but mainly the people that we wanna help

351
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,840
are people like he just described, like that.

352
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,160
Because they trying.

353
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,120
They're in a bad situation, but they're trying,

354
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,680
they're keeping the faith.

355
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,720
Put a smile, still with a smile on their face

356
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,240
for their kids.

357
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,960
Bro, they make you wanna help.

358
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,880
You know what I'm saying?

359
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,720
Yeah.

360
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,560
Yeah.

361
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:25,640
And that's why I said,

362
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,960
it's hard to judge by the cover.

363
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,960
And again, that's why I wanna do it in a manner of

364
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,800
it be a thing of I give.

365
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,720
Purses the thing.

366
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,080
Even if I catch them while they at the cash register,

367
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,960
I walk up and look, let me pay for this.

368
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,160
Yes.

369
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,520
Let me pay for this, just let me pay for this.

370
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,640
So that is, so it ain't won't be a thing of

371
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,800
I have to give somebody directly cash,

372
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,680
but I did something with the open mind and an open heart

373
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:56,520
that they get it.

374
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,320
And even if it's the case that you do it too.

375
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,320
Yeah.

376
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,160
I'm gonna do my share.

377
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,000
Do it.

378
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,820
Yeah, I'm gonna do my share.

379
00:16:01,820 --> 00:16:03,080
Do it up there, it stays full.

380
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:03,920
Like my share.

381
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,560
Just put your stamp of approval on it.

382
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,600
Even if you can document it, document it.

383
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,760
If you don't document it,

384
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:11,880
you ain't gotta worry about documenting it.

385
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,920
I already got somebody in mind that talking to them

386
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,760
and knowing their story.

387
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,320
And as I'm saying, you learn stuff from people

388
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,240
in communication, you know what I'm saying?

389
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,840
And people's stories and stuff.

390
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,520
Like, don't be afraid to talk to people, man.

391
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,680
Instead of looking at them and criticizing the judge,

392
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,280
try to know their story, talk to them.

393
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,120
Hey, how you doing?

394
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,240
You know what I'm saying?

395
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,320
Be uplifting.

396
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,160
Yeah.

397
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,160
Be uplifting.

398
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,920
And not only just be uplifting,

399
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,840
be an open vessel for somebody too,

400
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:43,920
because in case of-

401
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,040
They might help you.

402
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:45,880
Yeah.

403
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,080
They could help your life.

404
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,240
Be open to listening to these folk, man.

405
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,800
Don't just be a closed vessel, be open.

406
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,680
Be open and be ready to receive something from them too,

407
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,080
because like I said, you could be in their shoes.

408
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:57,920
Yeah.

409
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,120
They could give you something to keep you

410
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,000
out of those dumps.

411
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,280
So what are you gonna do?

412
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,400
What are you gonna say?

413
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,120
How are you gonna react to them?

414
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:04,960
Facts.

415
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,880
If you just constantly being just like,

416
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,320
ugh, look at them, they stink, they dirty, ugh, ugh.

417
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,800
That's cool, but again, that could be you too.

418
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,120
Very much, easily.

419
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:15,960
Exactly.

420
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,320
In one day, tomorrow could be, that could be you.

421
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,640
Well, some people feel like they untouchable, bro.

422
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,480
And that's sad, but it ain't-

423
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,600
He think they untouchable too.

424
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,120
Easily think they untouchable.

425
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:28,120
Like this guarantee, like I supposed to eat

426
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:29,080
three meals every day.

427
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,880
Like I supposed to eat periods.

428
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,480
Like I supposed to be able to take a shower or a bath.

429
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,280
And what you gonna do if you can't do that?

430
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,520
How would you react to it?

431
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,120
I'm not saying you, but I'm saying these people

432
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:40,400
that look confront upon these people,

433
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,240
what would you do in that position?

434
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,600
You know, I would say it was something

435
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,520
that somebody would do.

436
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,600
Take those, there used to be people

437
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,080
who used to do TV shows like that.

438
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,320
I mean, give them a realistic situation

439
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,960
and put the person in it.

440
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,880
And see how they would react to a realistic situation

441
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,280
being such as, you know, like how they do the realistic,

442
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,240
go to jail, put them in prison.

443
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,760
Let the kids scare straight, stuff like that.

444
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,400
They need to do scare straights for people who got it made.

445
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,280
You know, who got it made and don't understand

446
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,000
what it's like to get it from the bottom

447
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,120
and make sense of the bottom.

448
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:16,200
You get to the top so you can understand.

449
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,720
Like even to me, people like us,

450
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,680
we're considered even middle class.

451
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,160
We're not at the top, but at the same time,

452
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,920
we have that mentality like we're at the top too.

453
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,280
Some people, not all, some had that mentality

454
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,120
like they're at the top.

455
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:35,400
Even living a middle class life.

456
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,440
Get that out your mind.

457
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,360
Bro, a preacher can't preach to a church

458
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:42,080
and be weak, and be weak.

459
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,800
Not saying we preachers, but we preachers

460
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,840
in our own right, in our own way.

461
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,120
You know, we a vessel in our own way

462
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:51,280
of that, you know, uplifting and empowered.

463
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,760
And so, we can't get up here and encourage y'all

464
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,520
and we don't believe, you know what I'm saying?

465
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,720
We can't encourage y'all if we don't believe it.

466
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,880
Or we don't, we look defeated.

467
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,360
So, we gotta look like something,

468
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:06,600
we gotta talk like something,

469
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,440
we gotta stand on what we stand on.

470
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,200
I mean, regardless of what come our way,

471
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,560
the hate, the jealousy, whatever,

472
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,160
we still gotta stand on what we stand on

473
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,880
and can't nothing stop it.

474
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,640
You know what I'm saying?

475
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,920
But, so, you're right.

476
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,240
So, if it's a thing of, as I said,

477
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,880
those that want to change and help people,

478
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,720
what are things that you all do to help people?

479
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,080
What do y'all do to give to people?

480
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,080
What do y'all do to be giving and helpful?

481
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,360
It's always a thing to help one to help another.

482
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:52,400
So, again, we'll be helping y'all.

483
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,720
We've been giving things and ideas of what you can do.

484
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,280
What can we do other than just sit here

485
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,120
and just talk about it?

486
00:19:58,120 --> 00:19:59,400
Because, again, it's not just about sitting

487
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,240
in front of these cameras.

488
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,080
It's about here.

489
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:01,920
Y'all think we just like sitting in front of these

490
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:02,920
camera man. Get action.

491
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,240
It's real action.

492
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,760
I mean, this is short.

493
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,040
This is 30 minutes, hour segments.

494
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,880
We ain't here all day.

495
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,840
So, for the case of, we had to be in the streets

496
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,880
and not the streets per se, the streets,

497
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,280
but out here in the real world.

498
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,120
We got people out there in the real world.

499
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:21,280
And taking on things and taking on people.

500
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,200
Going through it just like y'all go through it.

501
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,160
We talk about it.

502
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,600
You know what I'm saying?

503
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,360
It ain't like we in a closed environment

504
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:28,280
and don't know what's going on.

505
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,080
We actually out here in these environments,

506
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,760
living what we're talking.

507
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,600
Every day.

508
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,160
Going through what we're talking about.

509
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,400
So, yeah.

510
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,520
Here's a good time to introduce this.

511
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,520
So, Christmas give, Christmas giveaway

512
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,040
giveaway is on my mind as well.

513
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,080
So, if it's a Christmas giveaway,

514
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,120
the idea of what I mean by Christmas giveaway

515
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:53,280
is basically not even considerably the case

516
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,720
of just a gift.

517
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,480
It's the case of just the case of just giving, period.

518
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,640
It ain't gotta be nothing very strategic

519
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:00,480
or nothing like that.

520
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,480
It's just more so for the case of what we need to know

521
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,240
as in giving during the holiday season.

522
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,200
That's all I wanna do.

523
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,240
Moving forward.

524
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:15,920
What do you want for Christmas?

525
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:16,760
How about that, bruh?

526
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,600
What you want for Christmas?

527
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,960
What you gonna tell people?

528
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,640
Somebody say, Q, what you want for Christmas?

529
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,480
What you gonna ask?

530
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,480
I want everybody to please go download

00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,720

532
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,200
Now, listen, I don't ask for much.

533
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,280
Now, I won't throw that in there.

534
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,000
I don't ask for much, but I want everybody

535
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,880

536

00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,080
Thank y'all.

538
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:38,960
I love y'all.

539
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,360
Appreciate y'all.

540
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:41,640
Everybody that support me.

541
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,480
Love.

542
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,920
But yeah, and then after that, I want,

543
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,200
you know what I'm saying, I want, of course,

544
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,800
my family, my friends, everybody, y'all, the world,

545
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,160
to have a blessed Christmas.

546
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,120
Be thankful for what we have.

547
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:58,120
God woke us up.

548
00:21:58,120 --> 00:21:59,400
God kept us another year.

549
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,120
God let us see another Christmas.

550
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,240
We in great health.

551
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,680
Woke up in the right mind.

552
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:06,160
That's really what it is, man.

553
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:06,980
Spread love.

554
00:22:06,980 --> 00:22:08,720
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love.

555
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,960
All to all y'all, everybody.

556
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,960
What I want y'all to do firstly is take the time

557
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:21,360
and be great for yourself.

558
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:23,840
Find improvement for the holiday.

559
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,360
Find somewhere, find that space of improvement

560
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:27,800
which you need to work on.

561
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,360
That should be your gift to yourself.

562
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:30,440
Work on that.

563
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,920
Fix that part.

564
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,080
Learn to grow that part because it could be a thing

565
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,240
of, oh, I spent too much money.

566
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,120
Oh, I eat too much.

567
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:38,040
Oh, I wanna lose weight.

568
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:38,960
Oh, I wanna gain weight.

569
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,240
Oh, I want something this, this, and that.

570
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,080
I wanna go get that.

571
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:41,920
Do that.

572
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,520
Do all of that.

573
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,480
Just do all of it with a great, a positive mentality.

574
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,200
Not a mentality, oh, I'm beating myself up over this.

575
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,360
Not the ones that say, oh, I'm broke doing Christmas.

576
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,040
No, don't do it that way.

577
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,960
Because again, we're moving into the Christmas holiday

578
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,160
with the wrong mentality already

579
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,720
because it's not about spending any of your dollars.

580
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:02,200
Bein' honest with y'all,

581
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,120
it don't have anything to do with spending any of your dollars.

582
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:06,640
Thanksgiving is not the case of

583
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,080
that we must eat a thousand things on Thanksgiving.

584
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,240
It don't have nothing to do with food.

585
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,640
What are you thankful for?

586
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,160
Then going into Christmas,

587
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,880
what are you thankful for during Christmas holidays?

588
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,160
Are you just an upset, grumpy person

589
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,080
because the case of, again, like I said,

590
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,720
because you don't have no money.

591
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,280
I mean, them kids really need to understand

592
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,920
that it ain't all about them.

593
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:28,760
Yeah.

594
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,920
It ain't all about them.

595
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:35,280
Your spouse need to figure that it ain't all about them either.

596
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Your boyfriend, your girlfriend,

597
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,000
it ain't all about them either.

598
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,920
And the world, the world done became too soft.

599
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:41,760
Yep.

600
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,840
I remember when it was, honestly, you know,

601
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,520
you tough love.

602
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,360
Yep.

603
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:47,200
You know what I'm sayin'?

604
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,200
Now it's like, oh, I don't wanna hurt my baby.

605
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,920
I can't be too hard on him.

606
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,760
You know what I'm sayin'?

607
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,760
I ain't doin' nothin' but hurtin' the baby.

608
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,240
Hurtin' that man, hurtin' that woman when they grow.

609
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,360
So yeah, bring that tough love back, man.

610
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:01,200
Let him know.

611
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,000
Yeah.

612
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,600
Another great episode, man.

613
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,440
Yeah.

614
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,160
Another great one.

615
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,760
I'm happy for the case of, like I said,

616
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,040
to talk about stuff like this,

617
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,040
because like I said, it's the holiday season.

618
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,240
There's only one way to present it to people.

619
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,040
You gotta give it to them before the time gets here.

620
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,720
I mean, it's around time they can sit down and have fun

621
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,240
and really soak it in.

622
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,760
Because we in November now.

623
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,000
You're here, it'll be, well, basically,

624
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,680
this will be given to y'all in November.

625
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,000
Y'all write a month before Christmas,

626
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
you know, a little bit before Thanksgiving.

627
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,720
This, I want you all to do great things

628
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:42,960
this holiday season.

629
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,120
Not even just holiday season, period.

630
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:46,800
But again, going into the holiday season

631
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,880
where people feel as if in, like,

632
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,960
the things that they should do, the things they're doing.

633
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,920
We can't keep, that can't be keep being your excuse

634
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,920
for being, you know, you're gonna be great, be great.

635
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,160
Give to people.

636
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,640
Do something that could be great for somebody else

637
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,200
other than just yourself.

638
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,840
And watch how your whole year be blessed.

639
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,680
It'll be Thanksgiving and Christmas all year long

640
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,520
if you want it.

641
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,760
Next year gonna be a crazy year, man.

642
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,920
We claiming it.

643
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,760
Next year is gonna be crazy year.

644
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,080
More doors is opening, man.

645
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,040
It's gonna be a crazy year.

646
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,960
In a good way.

647
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:20,880
Yeah.

648
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,280
Claiming that over everybody's life that's watching this.

649
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,800
I feel y'all, y'all are the greatest people.

650
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,520
If you taking the time to watch this show,

651
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,840
y'all are great.

652
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,680
Exactly.

653
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,520
Y'all are the best.

654
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,400
We got good taste.

655
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,080
I'm not sitting up here trying to be biased or anything,

656
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,640
but you know, hey, here we are.

657
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:39,640
You are here with us.

658
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,240
It is what it is.

659
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,840
But again, no bad things again.

660
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,080
No bad talks about anybody else.

661
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,480
I knew you was gonna throw that in.

662
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,280
No bad talks, man.

663
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,120
Throw that in there.

664
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:53,480
Too many podcasts out here.

665
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,040
Y'all look great, all great.

666
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,480
We ain't never hate just cause we up us, man.

667
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,320
We ain't hate no no.

668
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,160
Go do big things.

669
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,880
I mean, of course there's a bunch of podcasts out here.

670
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,720
But you gotta throw that in there.

671
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,240
Yeah, there's a bunch of podcasts out here.

672
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,080
Great podcasts, man.

673
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,880
That see well more than what we see.

674
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,520
But again, just a case of with those that don't,

675
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,600
or feel as if they feel like we're trying to undercut,

676
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:14,600
we're not trying to undercut.

677
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,780
It's just all fun and competition.

678
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:18,760
Nothing in hate.

679
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,640
If y'all wanna have competition, as I told you,

680
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,960
let's sit down and debate on something

681
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,320
that could be worthy of helping folk

682
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,160
versus sitting up here, man.

683
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,000
Just sitting down and talking.

684
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,160
You're better than me.

685
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,000
I'm better than you.

686
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:29,820
I wanna rent.

687
00:26:29,820 --> 00:26:30,960
I wanna get this off my chest.

688
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,800
Rent.

689
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,480
Do that on Facebook.

690
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,560
Again, go find, if nothing else,

691
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,460
go rent with yourself in the mirror.

692
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,560
Lastly, moving, moving, so we can close this out.

693
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,500
What is a thing?

694
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,840
2024s, cause we already here.

695
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,200
2024s, the ones that think like me.

696
00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,720
And I'm gonna ask you too.

697
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,560
Me?

698
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,120
Cause yeah, I'm gonna ask you, bro.

699
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:04,720
This will be a good close.

700
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,280
2024.

701
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,800
For the fact of what has to be done

702
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,240
as far as a case of personal and business-wise, right?

703
00:27:17,180 --> 00:27:20,920
What do you feel and where do you feel

704
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,160
the lack of what you've been doing for the past five years?

705
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,780
And I'm asking y'all this too.

706
00:27:25,780 --> 00:27:27,020
What's the lack?

707
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:29,940
Where have you been lacking?

708
00:27:31,060 --> 00:27:32,500
What have you been putting off?

709
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:34,300
What have you been doing?

710
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:35,140
Music.

711
00:27:35,140 --> 00:27:37,780
Slowly, that you need to step on the gas

712
00:27:37,780 --> 00:27:38,700
and do more of.

713
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:39,540
Go ahead.

714
00:27:39,540 --> 00:27:40,360
Music.

715
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:42,820
Talk about music, man.

716
00:27:44,420 --> 00:27:45,500
I'm ready.

717
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:47,740
I feel like this movie, once it's out,

718
00:27:47,740 --> 00:27:50,660
that chapter, I'ma still do the movies,

719
00:27:50,660 --> 00:27:52,540
but it's time to get back to this music.

720
00:27:52,540 --> 00:27:55,460
Full stop, full blown.

721
00:27:55,460 --> 00:27:57,780
I let this movie put me in a mindset

722
00:27:57,780 --> 00:27:59,540
where I had to focus on that,

723
00:27:59,540 --> 00:28:01,620
but I was still doing songs here and there,

724
00:28:01,620 --> 00:28:05,340
but not how I'm capable of doing.

725
00:28:05,340 --> 00:28:07,180
So yeah, it's time to hit that throttle.

726
00:28:07,180 --> 00:28:09,020
2024 with that music,

727
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:10,620
cause I know I got it in me.

728
00:28:12,420 --> 00:28:15,560
And this is too, I think, for myself personally,

729
00:28:17,980 --> 00:28:18,820
and I miss it.

730
00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:23,740
Yeah, for me is to rebirth my brand.

731
00:28:23,740 --> 00:28:25,860
That's what I need to do right now.

732
00:28:26,780 --> 00:28:28,800
I think once I do that part,

733
00:28:29,780 --> 00:28:32,020
I'll be a little bit better off

734
00:28:32,020 --> 00:28:34,820
with what I feel about what's been going on,

735
00:28:34,820 --> 00:28:37,140
because I haven't had,

736
00:28:37,140 --> 00:28:41,700
I haven't given myself the position of...

737
00:28:41,700 --> 00:28:43,300
This is all part of it though, man.

738
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:44,660
Yeah, I haven't forgiven,

739
00:28:46,180 --> 00:28:50,220
I haven't given myself that position of self

740
00:28:50,220 --> 00:28:52,220
for about a good year and a half now,

741
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:54,740
but I did that purposely because of the fact

742
00:28:54,740 --> 00:28:56,740
of I wanted something else to be big.

743
00:28:56,740 --> 00:28:58,820
And of course, to make something be big,

744
00:28:58,820 --> 00:29:00,100
sometimes you have to take that L,

745
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:01,300
so I took that L,

746
00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:02,860
and they ain't saying I took an L,

747
00:29:02,860 --> 00:29:03,980
I just took a seat with it

748
00:29:03,980 --> 00:29:06,300
because in case of I wanna get away,

749
00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:08,540
get away from what I was doing and rebrand it

750
00:29:08,540 --> 00:29:09,620
to be something else bigger

751
00:29:09,620 --> 00:29:11,700
than what I was already just presenting.

752
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:14,780
Cause I was only really presenting just a piece of myself.

753
00:29:14,780 --> 00:29:15,940
So when I bring it back out,

754
00:29:15,940 --> 00:29:18,280
I'm gonna be presenting my whole entire self.

755
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,380
So 2024, I gotta tell them,

756
00:29:20,380 --> 00:29:24,900
talking about in past podcasts is branding,

757
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:28,460
making the brand be something bigger

758
00:29:28,460 --> 00:29:30,900
than the little that we already present.

759
00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:34,500
It's not little, but in the case of we gotta do more.

760
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:35,500
Add in stuff too.

761
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:37,500
Yeah, for the podcast to be,

762
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:40,300
for everything else that we do,

763
00:29:40,300 --> 00:29:41,380
whether it's podcasting,

764
00:29:41,380 --> 00:29:44,340
whether it's something that we do outside of podcasting,

765
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:48,140
it could be...

766
00:29:48,140 --> 00:29:48,980
Add it to the resume.

767
00:29:48,980 --> 00:29:51,780
Granted, it's something versus it being a thing of,

768
00:29:51,780 --> 00:29:53,540
we just doing it just for the fun of it

769
00:29:53,540 --> 00:29:55,740
or just doing it just because the case of

770
00:29:55,740 --> 00:29:58,020
it's a need for help on something.

771
00:29:58,020 --> 00:30:00,140
We could be doing it for a living

772
00:30:00,140 --> 00:30:02,460
versus we get paid to do it versus a thing of,

773
00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:04,420
we just always just doing things for free.

774
00:30:04,420 --> 00:30:07,540
But to elevate ourself towards monetization

775
00:30:07,540 --> 00:30:08,660
for all of this,

776
00:30:08,660 --> 00:30:10,940
so we can make money from it.

777
00:30:10,940 --> 00:30:13,500
I don't want this, it takes time to do it,

778
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:16,020
of course, because we needed a brand.

779
00:30:16,020 --> 00:30:16,860
We didn't have one.

780
00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:17,700
We had to prove it.

781
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:19,660
We didn't have any brand.

782
00:30:19,660 --> 00:30:21,500
Five episodes ain't gonna be enough.

783
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:22,940
10 episodes ain't gonna be enough.

784
00:30:22,940 --> 00:30:25,380
We need more than even 60.

785
00:30:25,380 --> 00:30:27,300
We at 60 now, but even in the case of that,

786
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:28,140
I want more than that.

787
00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:30,180
Still feel like we need more.

788
00:30:30,180 --> 00:30:32,660
Yeah, but the work and the consistency,

789
00:30:32,660 --> 00:30:35,180
I think as long as we continue to do that,

790
00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:36,620
as far as our personal brands

791
00:30:36,620 --> 00:30:39,100
and then moving that into Not Just Music Podcast,

792
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:40,780
that'll make a bigger thing for this,

793
00:30:40,780 --> 00:30:42,140
that'll make a bigger thing for everything else

794
00:30:42,140 --> 00:30:43,620
we choose to tie into this,

795
00:30:43,620 --> 00:30:46,420
or everything that we tie into outside things to help this

796
00:30:46,420 --> 00:30:49,260
or anything we do inside of this to help outside things.

797
00:30:49,260 --> 00:30:50,380
And this is a good thing,

798
00:30:50,380 --> 00:30:53,860
I feel like this ain't going nowhere.

799
00:30:53,860 --> 00:30:54,700
You know what I'm saying?

800
00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:57,020
Like Not Just Music, with God grace, I mean,

801
00:30:57,020 --> 00:30:58,740
this is a platform.

802
00:30:58,740 --> 00:31:01,980
This is, like I say, this ain't no bigger than me or you.

803
00:31:01,980 --> 00:31:03,620
This is like a platform now.

804
00:31:03,620 --> 00:31:04,460
You know what I'm saying?

805
00:31:04,460 --> 00:31:06,460
Like a brand, Not Just Music Podcast.

806
00:31:08,460 --> 00:31:11,660
So, with all this said,

807
00:31:11,660 --> 00:31:14,340
us Not Just Music podcasters,

808
00:31:14,340 --> 00:31:16,660

Seven, about 700, about close to eight.

827
00:31:54,860 --> 00:31:57,140

How about you guys just run the numbers up.

831
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:05,820
Yeah, run them up, please.

832
00:32:05,820 --> 00:32:06,660
All right.

833

All right, peace.
