[00:01:02] Speaker B: Nah, seriously.
[00:01:03] Speaker A: Seriously.
[00:01:03] Speaker B: No, seriously. And this is why this year has been kind of like a rough year for me. So just, like, making it through the threshold of another year, man, I was really thankful and really grateful. And then you pour out into a lot of people, and then a lot of times, you feel like it fall on deaf ears. You feel like it don't go nowhere. But just yesterday, the outpouring of love that I received was really dope, so I enjoyed it.
[00:01:25] Speaker A: Oh, man. You get a chance to receive your harvest that you put out.
[00:01:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, man. That felt good. So.
[00:01:30] Speaker A: Yeah, so it was a good. Like, the cry was a joyful cry. Like, thankful?
[00:01:36] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, very thankful, man. Like I said, it's been kind of a rough year, but getting through it, so.
[00:01:42] Speaker A: Yeah, getting through it, so it felt good.
Okay, hold up, hold up, hold up.
[00:01:47] Speaker B: Wait a minute. Before we start. Cause I asked you about that Mountain Dew thing.
We ain't sponsored by Mountain Dew.
[00:01:53] Speaker A: No, it's on camera.
[00:01:55] Speaker B: Okay, good, good. Cause that was just. It was just throwing me. It was throwing me.
[00:01:58] Speaker C: Guess what? Since he done said I drank Mountain Dew.
[00:02:01] Speaker A: All right, which. It got, like, 76 grams of sugar. 76 grams added sugar, and that's like that much sugar. And it's not good.
[00:02:11] Speaker C: It just makes me that much sweeter.
[00:02:14] Speaker B: Good way to turn a negative into a positive, I guess.
[00:02:17] Speaker A: I'm that much sweeter, man. Only a woman could say that, neither.
[00:02:24] Speaker B: It made me sweeter,
[00:02:30] Speaker A: Man. How you. How was your week, man? How's everybody?
[00:02:33] Speaker C: My week has been.
It's been decent. I haven't done too much this week, so I made it. That's. That's a blessing, so. Amen. I'm cool with that.
[00:02:43] Speaker A: Damn, man, listen, before we really get started, I really want to shout out my daughter, Azaria Cherry, man. She's reason why I'm shouting her out, man. Cause you know, she getting ready to turn 19, she getting ready to start college next month. Well, this month right here.
And you know, I've been sitting here thinking about the fact that she working two jobs right now, right? And I don't know why she doing it. She ain't like she gotta do it. But, you know, I don't discourage her from not doing it. She working at the hospital and she working twelves, bro. Like, she worked back to back 12s. Thursday, Friday she worked two 12s and then that Saturday she end up going in to her other job and work. I think she worked like six hours or so, you know what I mean? And so, you know, you don't. Honestly, I don't really see. We don't really see a whole lot of young people, man, just going out here getting it. And she doing that right before she start on college, whatnot, man. But I'm super proud of her.
And, you know, the only thing we gotta work on is her managing her money well. Cause this week right here, she got paid. She got paid from both jobs. And you know, when kids see that type of money.
I haven't received no type of money like that when I was young.
I was talking with somebody the other day about, you know, they asked me yesterday, my son asked me about how much when I started working, how much I was getting paid. And I was like, you know, I was working at the fast food restaurant, I was getting paid $8 an.
And he said, oh, dad, you was pole back then. I'm like, come on now, son, come on. I was standing with my parents.
I'm like, son, like, you gotta think about it. You gotta think about it. Time has changed. I said, you know, $8. You know, me working, it wasn't trying to provide and pay no bills. You know what I'm saying? He was putting money in my pocket and getting the working thing out the way. But yeah, I just wanna shout her out right quick, like, because, man, she, she.
She surprised me in a whole lot of ways, man.
But anyway, how was your week, bro?
[00:04:51] Speaker B: You ain't.
[00:04:52] Speaker A: Well, that. That really what it was.
That. That probably was the highlight of my week. My week was pretty good. But, you know, the highlight, highlight of that was the, you know, just seeing my kids, you know, moving into their purpose, you know, especially my daughter seeing what, you know, how she navigating life right now.
And I'm almost like the person on the backside just kind of, you know, helping her manage certain things, really, you know, being a coach, so to speak.
[00:05:24] Speaker B: Okay, gotcha.
[00:05:25] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? And nah, I just had one shout out. Cause that really had made me feel some type of way, man.
[00:05:30] Speaker C: Happy birthday to Bryson, 14.
[00:05:31] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, my son birthday. Yeah, he just turned 14.
Actually, him and Q, the Don man, birthday on the same day. And honestly, they have some similar characteristics.
For real, though. But, man, listen, I ain't gonna hold y', all, man. Chanel, it's on you.
[00:05:52] Speaker C: Okay? So I wanted to do something a little different, have some fun with it. I don't care what y' all say, but the game is kind of like this. I'm explaining my take on it. Cause of course it's something I made up.
I'm gonna read a quote or saying or something that came from a movie, either a book or an actual quote.
And when you hear the quote, say what comes to mind. Whether it's something inspirational, how it applies to your life, or if it's something that, like I said, a movie quote, flip it into something positive.
[00:06:22] Speaker B: Okay, gotcha. Gotcha.
[00:06:23] Speaker C: So, yeah, think fast. I don't want you to sit here and ponder on it too long. But when you hear the quote, say what comes to mind.
Apply it to your life, Elaborate on it, whatever you feel like you need to do with it. But let's keep it rolling. Okay?
[00:06:35] Speaker A: Oh, man.
[00:06:36] Speaker C: You ready?
[00:06:36] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:06:37] Speaker C: The first one is, you see, it's the principle. There's principalities in this whole thing.
[00:06:44] Speaker B: What I get from it is sometimes when you're dealing with people, it ain't about just like what's on the surface. It's the deeper moral compass behind it.
[00:06:54] Speaker A: Hey, it's bigger than me.
That's why I get out of it. It's bigger than me. I ain't got no control of it.
[00:06:59] Speaker C: All right, the next one is when life gives you lemons, you just make lemonade.
[00:07:05] Speaker B: That's self explanatory. But if you're going through something, if you got something going on, try to find the best thing and try to make the best of what you got going on.
[00:07:14] Speaker A: What I get out of it is, man, listen, if you going through anything, any storm, hey, just get a pallet and really embrace that because they're gonna produce a level of growth out of it.
[00:07:29] Speaker B: I like that.
[00:07:29] Speaker C: Okay.
Make that money, baby. Don't let it make you.
[00:07:36] Speaker A: Hey, I got it. I got it.
For me it is, man. Don't Change your character up, man. Once you make it.
[00:07:43] Speaker B: Hey, that was perfect. That was perfect. We can go to the next. That was perfect. That was perfect.
[00:07:48] Speaker C: Okay.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: Shoot, whenever you're going through life, man, don't get in a storm and get stagnant. Cause you gotta keep on moving.
[00:08:01] Speaker A: I think about Ray J and One Wish Dancing in the rain.
[00:08:04] Speaker C: All right.
Every eye that's closed isn't sleeping.
[00:08:11] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. What I get from that is, you know, when I go to sleep, you know I need to put my phone on.
Do not disturb.
[00:08:20] Speaker B: What I get from that is, don't let people catch you off guard. Everybody ain't. Everybody ain't who they say is. Everybody ain't what they say they are.
[00:08:28] Speaker C: I like that.
Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it.
[00:08:35] Speaker B: Sometimes you asking for stuff, thinking that the grass is greener on the other side. And it's not always greener.
[00:08:39] Speaker C: All right.
[00:08:41] Speaker A: Hey, don't wake up that sleeping giant.
[00:08:45] Speaker D: That's it.
[00:08:48] Speaker C: I don't know how to take that.
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
[00:08:55] Speaker B: Shoot, you can have it planned out. You can have everything mapped out. And wife will still throw you a curve ball.
[00:09:00] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:09:02] Speaker A: Man, I think about Mortal Kombat and trying to put the combos together.
[00:09:09] Speaker B: Boy, I don't know what you say. Be on one today.
[00:09:14] Speaker C: Okay, now this is a good one.
I'm loved by some, hated by many, envied by most, but respected by all.
[00:09:24] Speaker B: Read that again. Read that again.
[00:09:26] Speaker C: I'm loved by some, hated by many, envied by most, but respected by all.
[00:09:32] Speaker B: I'm gonna turn this into a positive.
We don't see nobody else. Whatever they feelings are towards you, it is what it is. You do you and keep moving.
[00:09:40] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:09:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I like that. What Q said.
I gotta come up with one.
[00:09:45] Speaker D: Yep.
[00:09:46] Speaker C: I mean, if you don't have one, it's cool.
[00:09:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't have one.
[00:09:49] Speaker C: Okay, I'm gonna wrap this one for y'. All.
You can be as good as the best of them, but as bad as the worst.
Don't test me.
You better move over.
[00:10:03] Speaker A: Yes, sir.
Hey, listen, listen. You ain't want.
[00:10:07] Speaker C: Maybe you too young for this one. You don't know that one? No, that's Biggie Smalls.
[00:10:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:13] Speaker C: You want me to say it?
[00:10:13] Speaker B: You want me to do it? Yeah, say it. Say it.
[00:10:15] Speaker C: You can be as good as the best of Them, but as bad as the worst? Don't test me. You better move over.
[00:10:24] Speaker B: I don't know what he was trying to convey on that one.
I don't know what he meant.
[00:10:29] Speaker A: Well, what I think it is is. Listen, man, I almost like a pressure cooker, you know what I'm saying? Listen, you do not want me to reach the height of my pressure because what gonna come off, I'm gonna probably bust.
That's why I kinda get outta there.
[00:10:44] Speaker B: Okay?
[00:10:44] Speaker C: Okay. Sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around mine.
[00:10:50] Speaker B: Simply put, man, we all got stuff that we need to work on.
Don't look at somebody else situation. Work on your own situation.
[00:10:56] Speaker A: Hey, don't point the finger before I realize you got three pointing back at you, okay?
[00:11:03] Speaker C: You only live once. If you do it right, once is enough.
[00:11:07] Speaker A: Yolo, man.
[00:11:09] Speaker B: I'm. I'm. You know, I get spiritual with stuff like this. You only live once, so you need to try to do it right so you can have eternal life.
[00:11:16] Speaker C: Okay, well, this is gonna fit perfectly with that. Lo, I am with you always. Even until the end, man.
[00:11:23] Speaker B: Even in the midst of your storm, in the midst of your darkest battles, if you look for him, God is there to be found.
[00:11:30] Speaker C: Okay?
Wisdom comes from experience.
Experience comes from lack of wisdom.
[00:11:38] Speaker B: Read that again. Read that again.
[00:11:39] Speaker C: Wisdom comes from experience.
Experience comes from lack of wisdom, for
[00:11:46] Speaker A: me is in the beginning, you trying to figure some stuff out and you don't even have wisdom at first, but once you kind of go through it and look at all the mistakes you made through all of that, you didn't gain wisdom.
[00:11:59] Speaker B: Perfect. Perfect.
[00:12:01] Speaker C: Okay? You can't live above your years.
[00:12:07] Speaker A: Some things, man, you gonna go through some stuff, and I can tell you what it is, but because you haven't experienced it yet, you went through it yet, or in that circumstance situation, sometimes you just gonna find out on your own.
And no matter the amount of advice I gave you, you basically, you still ain't gonna get it until you go through it.
[00:12:33] Speaker C: Okay?
Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside when you're still alive. Never surrender.
[00:12:45] Speaker B: I feel like with that one, that was a great one.
To have lived and never tried something that you actually wanted to try was. Or shoot for the stars. So if you fall, you land on the cloud. To never have done that is a dreadful feeling.
So reach, do whatever it is that's in your mind to do. Try it. And if you fail, you just learned a lesson. You ain't never failed at anything.
[00:13:09] Speaker C: Okay? Cash rules everything around me.
[00:13:12] Speaker A: Get the money, man.
[00:13:14] Speaker B: Go get you some money. When you get money, your life changes for you. Get some money.
[00:13:21] Speaker C: Okay. And this last one was intended to be a surprise for y', all, but this one was supposed to be for me. Give me my flowers while I can still smell them. And for me, what that actually meant is something that we as women don't do enough for our men is give them their flowers while they're still here.
I intended to give you your flowers today, but unfortunately, I had church and I had to be here early.
[00:13:44] Speaker A: It's all good. Listen, I received virtual. Receiving virtual flowers.
[00:13:49] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, I would give you your flowers, but I do believe in giving you tangible things, that a lot of times men are giving us gifts, and you don't actually receive that enough that you do need to receive tangible things to know that you're appreciated and that you're seen as men, that you have something as a token of love to say, hey, I don't want it just when I'm gone or when I'm broken and I'm down. Give it to me on my updates, too.
[00:14:15] Speaker B: Thank you, and we appreciate it.
[00:14:17] Speaker C: All right. I hope you enjoyed my gay.
[00:14:19] Speaker A: No, I actually love the game.
I started off just playing around with it, man. But there was some dope questions, though.
Now, where we go from here, man?
[00:14:29] Speaker B: Hey, but I do.
I want to speak on that last one that you just said, because to me, that's like a real important thing, because that's part of the reason why I was so emotional yesterday, because sometimes in life, man, you do stuff, you pour out. And as a man, sometimes not for my situation, because my lady, like I say, she does great even if I ain't at the place where I feel like I should be, she never makes me feel less than none of that, so. But it's just far. It's like the people you pour into, sometimes it can feel like you pouring into bookings that don't want to be filled. So just always, like you said, manage to give people their flowers, because sometimes you don't know how far you giving people their flowers really takes them. Like, you don't know how much further that pushed them. Like, because when you feeling empty and you feeling like you. You know, man, I've been. I've been doing this, I've been doing that. I'm making sure everybody's straight.
You don't really get that in return. So to get. So if you need. If you feel as though somebody has been valuable in your life, has. Has Played a part in your life. Give them their flowers, man. That's such a. That's such a beautiful thing. And that, that, that appreciation and that gratitude towards somebody can help them. Because even though you feel like people strong all the time, right, they still get low and they still get weak. So that's all I gotta say for that.
[00:15:40] Speaker A: I ain't even gonna lie, man.
Like, I always kinda feel like I'm unappreciated sometimes.
And oftentimes, man, I still do what I do. Cause you know, it just kinda in me. But sometimes, like just receiving your flowers every once in a while, man, it almost put the battery on your back and it make you wanna keep going sometimes when.
Because at the end of the day, I'm gonna say this part, man. You know, most men deal with this silent voice that's in their ear every time, man. And sometimes it's different depending on the man and what his upbringing was. But a lot of times it can be a level of insecurity, a level of, listen, you ain't doing enough.
And oftentimes when people see men do certain things and they trying to figure why he do that, man, he just too extra. But they don't know what voice that really propelling them to do some of these things and go hard. Sometimes it's that voice that saying that you heard when you was growing up, you ain't gonna never be shit. And sometimes that voice right there, you have that.
That being said, you went at a younger age and that same voice is what propelled you into being the man you are. But then as you get older, you realize like, that energy right there, you can't really carry that until your next season. And sometimes, you know, it's a weight to have that, you know what I'm saying, to feel that.
And that's what I realized is that sometimes something negative, it can propel you to. But as you get older, you need something else that can kind of propel you. Because that is dark, right? Just to have that type of energy to propel you. But most men, most men carry that, you know what I'm saying? A lot of times they don't express that. And sometimes you see them being as aggressive. And some people, you know what I'm saying, Like cops, you know, just people in general, man, always stereotyping. Stereotyping is, you know, really is a human instinct that we all kind of stereotype. But the stereotype on black men is real dark, man. You know what I'm saying?
And we hurt and we feel just like any Other ethnicity out here in this world, you know what I'm saying? But when a black man feel a certain type of way, or you see him as, I'm going to say, having a hoodie on, you automatically see that as a threat. But you don't know what that man dealing with or that young man dealing with in his head, you know? And so that's the reason why when you said giving a person they flowers, man, sometimes something so simple, a simple act of that can just really heal a person, you know, and sometimes that's what we need sometimes.
[00:18:39] Speaker C: Have y' all ever seen. I'm not sure if it's on TikTok or maybe just like little Facebook reels where the guys come around the Escalade and he hands somebody a card and an envelope and a flower, and they open it up and it has a message in there saying that I know you needed this hug or whatever. That people normally break down crying and stuff because it was something. That's how I feel about that. Like, you never know in that moment what that person's going through. And a simple message could bring them out of whatever situation they're having.
It's important to just say, hey, you know what?
God laid this on my heart just to do this for you.
[00:19:15] Speaker B: Right?
[00:19:15] Speaker C: You don't have to know the reason why, you know, I'm just gonna do it.
[00:19:20] Speaker A: I don't like the recording part, though, but I don't. It do give the world to see certain things that what's going on is good people out here. Sometimes I. You know, you don't. I mean, it's still good. Rather, it's. They getting monetizing it on social media.
But at the same time, man, one of the things that get me every time, yo, every time I watch it and I see it is when, you know, you see the barbers going out here and giving these homeless people cuts and stuff like that. And, man, I don't care what nobody say, man, a haircut gonna change how you change your mood, boy. They gonna get you swag.
And just to see that, you know, that first glimpse of them when they end that, you know, before they get a cut and they looking down and, you know they ain't smiling till when they see theyself in the mirror after they get that haircut. Oh, man, that. Bless me every time I see that.
[00:20:15] Speaker B: I love them videos, man.
Like, them jumps, them junks if you ain't careful, man, them videos that have, like, I'm kind of emotional person sometimes, not a lot, but like, those Type of videos, like. Cause honestly bro, we look at people and it's your natural human instinct.
And I always tell people this. Everybody don't have the same amount of fight and the same amount of get back. So some stuff hit people and we always got this judgmental thing where we be like, you know, well, they like that because boom, boom, boom.
You don't ever really know what led to a person being wherever they are. And nobody's story is completely written yet. Your story is written. Once you in that ground, you write it every day. But it's not completely written. So you never know what can turn and make you. Because there's some people that go through stuff that makes them lose their mind. So we always just so judgmental. But for those people that do those transformation things and just it made me emotional because I'm like, how many people don't walk past these people probably could have paid for a haircut, could have done something and just be like, nah, they whatever they are. But like, yo, in life sometime I think we have to slow it down a little bit. We chase the money, we go get the money. We got a lot of other things that we focus on and a lot of other stuff that we do. But don't ever get so out of touch with the human reality that we just can't reach out and touch people.
So that's why those things make me a little bit emotional,
[00:21:39] Speaker A: man.
[00:21:40] Speaker B: That got kind of, you know, a little grim, sad.
[00:21:45] Speaker A: Oh no, man, I was just sitting here in whole deep thought about the whole situation, man. Like how like we.
I'm telling you, you can get conditioned to do condition to certain stuff. Like for instance, like when you in a hurry and you know, like, I'm gonna use it. When we went to Atlanta and they got so many homeless people in Atlanta.
And when you, you know, you see somebody digging in trash can that become. And you know, you see it so much, it's like that's something so normal, you know what I mean? And you just kind of walk past them and you know, it's crazy because you got people that walking past these people, man, and just, you know, they ain't bothering me, you know. And that junk is so sad though, because you know, they didn't got conditioned to just walk past these homeless people, man.
Why they digging in trash can, right?
[00:22:43] Speaker B: Like not even saying like, I got to go give you some money, but
[00:22:46] Speaker A: like, you can't come here, man, let me. Nah, man, come on.
[00:22:50] Speaker C: I think it's so much that people don't want to Help. I think it came from the fact of when it was a time that people were helping. You have people that have been combative. You have had people that are in that position that of course, were on drugs and somebody died from overdose. It's a lot of reasons why some people do turn a blind eye. Not because everybody doesn't want to help. Some people are afraid to help because of the consequences of helping. So therefore, one bad seed destroys it
[00:23:17] Speaker A: for the bunch that could be.
[00:23:20] Speaker C: Because I'm not going to sit here and say that I don't feel sorry for seeing a homeless person digging in the trash. I do feel bad, but I know years ago a guy cussed me out because he asked me for $10, and I went and bought him some fruit of McDonald's and he threw that food down and I wanted to cut his rug. You know what I'm saying? Like, stuff like that, I make you say, I ain't never.
[00:23:44] Speaker A: So we categorizing everybody.
[00:23:45] Speaker C: No, you don't want to. You don't want to, but we're human, too. And I'm not saying don't help anybody, but. But there are certain people, and I'm not saying that I've never helped another homeless person after that, but there are certain people who feel like I work hard for my money, and if I done tried to help one person or 10 people and it got thrown in my face, or they went out here and bought drugs with it, or the same person I helped last week end up dying of an overdose this week, it makes you want to say I'm scared to help or I don't want to help because I don't want to lose money and it's not going to the right place or whatever. You know, it's a lot of reasons why people.
[00:24:19] Speaker B: I can definitely understand that.
[00:24:20] Speaker A: Yeah, I can see.
[00:24:21] Speaker B: But I would say to that, too. So don't categorize everybody in the same situation, because I'm gonna look at this from a career field, a career stance.
The same way those people are looked at and deemed in our eyes, and some of them just probably wish somebody would help them and really reach out. It's the same way career wise, me being a younger person. It's people all around that can, yo, let me take you under my wing and show you how to. So it's the same sense. Like, everybody goes through that in a certain sense, but, like, we just don't. Like you said, everybody's not numb to it, and you may have had a bad experience, but don't Let a few one or two bad experiences.
If the Lord put it on your heart, I'm not saying everybody, because everybody that I see, I don't feel the urge to help them. I'm not going to even lie to you. But if I feel the urge, whatever you do with what I give you, that's on you. I know the intent that I had when I gave it to you. I didn't intend for you to go. Now, if I know for a fact, like when you get this, you about to go buy a beer, I'm probably not going.
I can't judge what you do, but I'm not going to give it to you. If I've seen you do it. But if I didn't see you do it and you go do it, my intent was to do that, to help you. Now, whatever you did with that, that's on you. But if I ever feel the pull or the tug to help somebody, I will. And I would just urge anybody, if you feel that, just even if you had a bad experience, still help out because that might be the. That might be a meal that somebody can get for that day.
[00:25:45] Speaker A: So I would say there's a lot of programs and all types of stuff, man. In the city, this city alone, in Florence, they have a whole lot of programs, a lot of homeless shelters for some of these people who don't necessarily have a place to lay their head at. But the part is, this is the part right here, man. Most of these people is like mental, have mental issues that mostly homeless though, you know what I'm saying? Like, they don't necessarily. I mean, you could say some of them on drugs, but for the cases that I didn't see and came encounter with, you know, you can tell something going on mentally. And some, most of the people really want to be homeless and they have families that will help, but they just really don't want to be bothered with them because they didn't. They didn't exhaust their resources with their family, man.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: But also too would that be in America in general, not just one place or another, but in America. In America in general, we have, unless it's commercial mental health. We have cast people aside that needs like real life mental help. Like if it ain't commercial. And when I say that, I mean like the typical stuff. We don't really. If somebody needs mental help, we don't really want to deal with the hard people.
We always want to deal with the people that's. That's functioning, they functioning well. They might have a little therapy. They Need. But we as America, in America, if you, if you. And I hate to use this term, but if you deem that's one of those crazy people, let them do whatever they do, don't. But you can't. Like I just think our mental health system is so commercialized. We don't, we don't really have a system really. Like, because if somebody really going through something, a lot of these people shouldn't even be on the street, honestly, with their mental capacities and their, like, if you got somebody, I used to work at a hospital. So we'll have the same repeat mental health people come to the emergency room, they put them on a 24 hour hold, put them back on the street. If that person is a reoccurring door. You don't think like at some point in time, like, yo, these people really, really need to go somewhere where they can get the help that they need, whether that be medicine, whether that be institutionalized, something. But in America, we don't really, that's not a priority. Like, we don't mind putting people on the street, like when they got mental health problems. And that's a, it becomes a danger for that person and for other people in the community. Because like you said, some people don't know how to approach those people. Because you gotta think as a, let's use you, you a woman. So you go and trying to help somebody and they spaz on you.
If your son's with you, that might end up being bad for that person. But the whole time that person was known to have mental illnesses. So why didn't any of the professionals that could have done something, why nobody did anything? So we don't really look at mental health because I don't honestly think nobody wants to be homeless. I just think you, like you said, you exhaust all your resources because the average layperson is not. We don't know how to deal with somebody who's like, really like, you know, we hear this saying all the time, bipolar.
A lot of people say that, but not, they're not, they don't know the real stuff of bipolar. Like bipolar tendencies and all that and like schizophrenia. Like we're talking about people that get violent in those modes. We as regular people, we don't know how to deal with that.
[00:29:08] Speaker A: Like.
[00:29:08] Speaker B: Cause I'm gonna tell you, if I, if I'm dealing with somebody that's in that and having one of those breaks, I might, don't, I don't. Ain't no telling what I'm gonna do, but I ain't gonna Let you hurt me. But so they do end up exhausting their resources with their families and their people because we not trained professionals, we don't know how to deal with it.
[00:29:26] Speaker D: Well, I can say, I'll say this, this is a.
I'll say that this particular thing is a, it's really, really dear to me, this topic right here.
My brother's bipolar.
He's been, he got, he ended up bipolar back in 2003.
He was normal. Smartest kid I have, smartest person, still the most intelligent person I know ended up, he smoked with somebody, they laced it, gave him a chemical imbalance, and they diagnosed him with bipolar disorder.
And my dad, my brother has, since he was in jail before, he had been in and out of jail before, but since then, since being bipolar, he's probably been in and out of jail a lot more.
You understand that the government is not set up the way it is right now. The law is not set up in a way in which it benefits those that are mentally challenged. And it's definitely not helpful to the families of the people who are mentally challenged because we can't commit them.
And I say the fatal flaw to medication, especially with mental patients, is they have to believe that they have an issue to take the medication. So my brother's issue is he doesn't think he's sick.
He really just doesn't think nothing's wrong with him. He thinks that I drank too much or I smoked too much. So he's at the end of a nine year bid right now.
And what happens is while he's in jail, they pump him up with his drugs. He got to take the medication, he gets out, you don't have to take the medication.
Medication wears off after, I would say about maybe two weeks.
So every time he gets out on probation over the last nine years, he'll do something and end up, they'll violate him, put him right back in.
But in, but when he's in, he's getting the medication, but he's not getting the therapy behind the medicate with the medication to help him understand that he's sick because he's in prison.
So they don't have, it's not like it's a mental institution. So every time we try to help him and we try to get him in the mental institution, they be like, nah, he did this crime, he going here, we'll give him his meds in the prison. So then when he comes out, he hasn't been, he hasn't had any. So my brother literally has gone the last 12 years with no therapy, but in and out of jail because he doesn't understand fully that he's sick.
[00:31:54] Speaker C: I got a question. So they can't.
Whenever he's released, it can't be court ordered that he's released to a medical facility.
[00:32:00] Speaker D: No, they'll put him in a. They'll put him in One Dime. This is the long. I think it was about. He had a three year stint when he was straight.
The thing was they had a team. And the team would come every three months and. Cause the shot would last three months. They would come, tie him down, hold him down and give him a shot no matter where he was. And that was court ordered. The problem was the people told my mom, when it wasn't court ordered, they said they couldn't just come and do it. He had to be okay with them coming to do it. They told my mom, hey, if he ever wants to get the shot, we'll come and give him the shot.
And he didn't want it. And that's when he ended up. He pushed the old lady into a ATM machine and they hit him with armed robbery. Strong armed robbery.
And then later on, the lady ended up with bleeding on the brain and went into a coma. So they tacked on attempted murder.
[00:32:50] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:32:52] Speaker D: And when you're talking about the family, my dad's done.
My dad is like, I'm not giving him no money while he in jail. I ain't doing nothing. He don't need to come for me when he get out. He don't need to come see me. Nothing. My mom still chases behind him, goes to see him wherever, whatever prison he's been in. My mom consistently goes. And my dad, he's the practical. I think he's probably the most practical one because he's like, he is sick and he's not taking his medication. He's making a choice not to take his medication. If he was taking his medication and he was homeless and everything else, I would help him. He said, but he's not taking his medication. And he know he got a problem. My mother's on the other side. He don't know he got a problem. So what's this? That and the third? And the funny thing is he got out in January. Matter of fact, he had got out. They put him out. They put him out, but they released him.
He tried to kill my mom.
[00:33:45] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:33:45] Speaker D: And they put him. They violated him, put him back in. So now he got him axed out.
So.
And my mother's the one that been there for him through Everything.
So. And then when he's bipolar, he goes back into, like, 1998.
His mind goes back into 1998 when he was running the street and, you know, selling drugs and all of that. He goes right back to that, not knowing that that was damn near 30 years ago.
So when you say it has an effect on the fan, it has an effect. Like, my dad and my mom can't agree. Me and my sister can't agree. My sister's like, my dad.
I'm trying to be understanding. His son won't talk to him.
Cause his son is like, dad, all you gotta do is take the medication. He won't talk to him. He hadn't talked to him in probably about 10 years.
You know, baby mama won't talk to him.
[00:34:35] Speaker A: Probably because of his peace.
Imagine.
[00:34:38] Speaker B: I get it.
[00:34:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:34:40] Speaker D: I'm not blaming nobody for understanding.
[00:34:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:34:42] Speaker D: At all. Because even me, like, my brother called me like that sometimes. I answer the phone when he called me for Prince. There's other time. Like, man, I ain't got no time for him. Not today. Like, I don't got no time to go through what plans you got when you get out.
[00:34:54] Speaker A: And.
[00:34:55] Speaker D: Because all I'm telling him is, you're going to. The only plan I need to know is you're going to take your meds when you get out. I don't need to know nothing else. I said, because the next time you try to do something, mommy, I'm going to kill you.
[00:35:03] Speaker B: Right. So, I'm sorry. So, like, like, hearing your story is to, like, what we were saying. Like, man, like, when you hear that, like, not just.
It's not just the people. That's. Man, that junk is a flowing thing. Like, that junk really flows to a lot of people because there's a lot of people that have to. That's intertwined in this whole circle. So, like. And I found that, like, working in the medical field, like, when black people first got hooked on drugs. I'm not that old, but just reading up and just doing research, they started criminalizing drugs. But when it became a white thing, that's. That's why. That's what I mean by, like, a lot of people commercial. Yeah.
[00:35:41] Speaker A: It became, they need help.
[00:35:43] Speaker B: This is a sickness. So, like, the therapy, like, the stuff. Like. And then he said, like, with his brother. Yeah, you give him the medicine, but you don't give. You don't do the other part of it. Like, so for. For mental health, it's like. Like, now I ain't talking about just depression and stuff, because Our mental health issues is real. But I'm talking about, like, really having psychological imbalances. Really stuff that could land you in, like, facilities that stuff is not really dealt with on a. On a real level. And so that. To me, I feel like that's a flaw in America's, like, in our whole infrastructure. Because honestly, like, I wouldn't know what to. I don't. I wouldn't know what to do in a situation with a family member like that. I don't know what to do.
[00:36:21] Speaker D: And that's the funny thing. Like, I've never been home when he's been out.
I've always been here. And just so happens that every time I'm home, he locked up. So I. I wouldn't know what to do. My mother knows what to do. My dad knows what to do. My sister even knows what to do. I wouldn't. I don't even know what to do.
[00:36:43] Speaker B: Because you know what you would do if it was a person in the street that was acting irrational or something? I know what I would do to a person in the street. But this is my blood. And there's.
[00:36:51] Speaker D: I can't even tell you how many times he's been beat up.
[00:36:53] Speaker B: Like, he got.
[00:36:53] Speaker D: He's been jumped.
He's been. He's been stabbed one time because he's. He gets aggressive when he's. When he's called. Manic, manic, bipolar.
When they're manic, he's manic. He becomes violent, or. I wouldn't say violent, but he comes aggressive. He talks trash to everybody. He's.
[00:37:11] Speaker B: He.
[00:37:11] Speaker D: Like I said, he's. Back in 1998 when he was running the streets. I'll shoot your ass. And I'll this, I'll that. You know what I'm saying? He goes right to that. And anybody who's seeing him or whatever, he's gonna approach him. So a lot of times, because he's in that mindset, he's in parts of Newark, New Jersey, or in Brooklyn, where you really can't be saying and doing anything right.
[00:37:31] Speaker A: Especially when he manic.
[00:37:32] Speaker D: We just wait for him to turn up in the hospital. When he out and he manic. My mother just tells me, make the call to everybody. I call all my boys in the street, say, if you see him, call. Call an ambulance. And then we just wait for him to show up in the hospital. Hospital or jail.
Cause eventually he's gonna show up somewhere.
[00:37:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that's tough, man.
One thing I really wanna address, though, see, I go to therapy too, you know, and not Only I go to therapy. I was supposed to be taking some medicine too, as well, but not all the time. And I remember my therapist told me, she told me that, you know, do you take your medicine? I'm like, you know, sometimes. And she was like, why you gonna take your medicine?
I'm like, you know, I don't like how it make me feel.
One thing, I don't like how it make me feel. And then also, you know, the other part is sometimes, you know, being denial about the fact that I gotta take medicine to regulate, you know, when I have my highs and lows. I ain't been diagnosed with bipolar or anything like that, but I have a level of anxiety just through military. Through the military, whatever. And that's one of the things, man, taking your medicine. And this conversation helped me out a lot too, though. Cause sometimes you don't really, you know, you still thinking that you operating from a place where you, you know what I'm saying, like, you normal. But then the question is, what is normal these days? You know what I'm saying? So, you know, like how my therapist said, like, nobody.
If something happened to you, nobody ain't. They ain't gonna put on your tombstone, hey, he had to take this medicine. And blah, blah, blah. Nobody ain't gonna say that on that. You know what I'm saying? So it ain't, you know, so you kind of gotta get out of that mindset of, you know, making you feel weak. Cause you gotta take some type of medication to regulate you, you know.
[00:39:27] Speaker B: Right.
[00:39:27] Speaker A: And so that's really. I wanna add that in. Cause a lot of times most people, you know, is in denial of the fact that they have to take a level of medication to regulate, they move sometimes, you know what I'm saying?
[00:39:39] Speaker B: And about that, I would say, like, man, if you. If anybody, if you're going to do the route of trying to get help, you know, as far as therapy, do the whole process, if you. If you have to take medicine, there is nothing wrong with it. At some point in time, everybody has to take medicine for something that's not even our business. But just feel comfortable within your. No, I'm not saying. But that was great that you shared it. But if you have to take it, don't feel like you got to express to the whole world that you got to take it. If that's something that you. That you. And maybe, you know, your inner people know, that's cool. But like, man, if you're gonna do. If you're gonna do the therapy and if something Is prescribed to you and it makes you feel decent or you can work with it. Just take it if it's going to help you, like. Because at the end of the day, man, when it comes to mental health, we. I think social media has done a huge disservice for us because now we looking at everybody and we thinking like, this is what life is. We don't know what people battling. We don't know what they're dealing with. We don't. The norm used to be your neighborhood, whatever you're dealing with in your neighborhood. Now we're up against the whole world. We see what everybody's doing and what everybody got going on. So we feel there's extra pressure. There's extra pressure. So the anxiety and the depression, the stuff is really real. So. But, man, when you going to get help, like, get the holistic help, like, if you gonna do one part of it, do the other part if it's something that you can manage to do.
[00:40:55] Speaker A: Yeah. And one thing I want to add to that is.
Listen, man, it's okay. It's okay. You know, if you gotta take whatever medication you gotta take. And I don't want to just, you know, make it just to like mental medication, but just blood pressure medication, cholesterol medication, like, you know, these are things that, you know, one of the highest statistics in the black community amongst men is stroke. Well, nowadays you don't. Well, yeah, stroke, high cholesterol, high blood pressure. And one of the stigma behind that is I don't want to take this blood pressure medicine because it gonna make my. I ain't gonna get up, you know what I'm saying? And it take away their manhood.
And sometimes, man, but if you feeling that way, guess what, you need to express that to your doctor.
And they got other medication that they can put you on that, you know what I'm saying? That you won't have those type of side effects. But at the end of the day, man, we have to be healthy. We gotta show up for our families.
And also, man, you know, we are needed in our community more than ever, man. And I know sometimes, you know, we feel like we got older and we, you know, and we got take all these medications. Some people, man, have a whole line of medication they gotta take, and that could be. That can play on your mental.
You know what I'm saying? And so, you know, just know you. You are worthy and. And the medication just keeping you around. But at the same time, I'm. I'm a true believer. A true believer of take Praying over my medicine while I'm taking it. You know what I'm saying? God, I feel like it's healing me completely where I don't have to take this medication and doing, doing the necessary things.
So you can maybe potentially be off medicine. But if you don't, that may be a thorn in your flesh that you keeping you humble and bring you back to the cross, man. And this all depends on where your mindset and perspective is on it, you know. But just know you, you got to do what best for you and your family. You want to add something in on that?
[00:43:04] Speaker C: Nope. Y' all did a wonderful job.
[00:43:06] Speaker B: Hold on, I got some. I got some. We're going to put out a challenge this week.
One thing that helps out with a lot of different stuff when it comes to medical wise is water intake. And you will be surprised how many people don't drink water at all.
So let's challenge ourselves this week to at least increase our water intake. That's not saying, oh you're gonna be healed overnight by doing that.
But I'm gonna tell you the truth.
[00:43:33] Speaker A: Is it water in that cup? It ain't. I knew it's about this, the crazy part, right?
[00:43:36] Speaker B: It ain't nothing in this cup. I just brought this cup in here. Cause this is marketing. I just brought a cup in here. But let's increase our water intake. That's just, that's one thing we could do and also get active, get the moving. Because I was thinking the other day, bro, you know we used to walk to stores, we used to walk through the neighborhood, bro. Besides me being intentional about exercising, I can't tell you, last time I walked to a store, I walked to anywhere. Like a lot of people don't move, we don't have a lot of motion going on nowadays. So you seeing rises in like health related issues amongst young people. Because you think, man, it used to be nothing for us to get okay. They don't go to the park, they don't go do nothing outside. So man, back in our day, we used to get up at when the sun come up. And during the summertime we ain't came home to the street like that.
[00:44:23] Speaker A: First of all, you got yard work, you got on the Saturday yard work,
[00:44:26] Speaker B: you gotta clean up your room, then you go outside and we don't come back in. I don't know what we was eating throughout the day. Cause we ain't get back in the house until streetlights.
[00:44:33] Speaker A: That's why people were teeny and when I say teeny, they would probably Cut up with abs.
[00:44:38] Speaker B: Yeah, most definitely. Cause we actually did the physical work. Now the more technology becomes a part of our life, and the more everything becomes easier, even to the fact of this, bro, you go order your groceries online, you can order your stuff, like, online. Like, it's such. A. Technology is a blessing. But bro, it's hurting us so much. And it's. It's the hurt that we don't see that's really killing us. Like, going to walk around the grocery store, that could be beneficial. That might be the only exercise somebody gonna get all week. But now you can sit in your house, sit in your recliner, Walmart.
[00:45:08] Speaker C: Some people don't leave the house. Just.
[00:45:10] Speaker B: They don't leave the house.
[00:45:11] Speaker C: Imagine if you work from home. You order your grocery all the time.
[00:45:14] Speaker A: I can't. I can't do it.
[00:45:15] Speaker C: You watch TV to do your praise and worship or go to church or whatever. You do everything.
[00:45:18] Speaker A: My neighbor do that, right?
[00:45:20] Speaker B: Like, that's crazy, though. So even your social life gonna be different.
[00:45:25] Speaker C: You ain't even gotta leave the house to do that. You can FaceTime everybody.
[00:45:28] Speaker B: Yeah, man.
[00:45:29] Speaker A: Hey, but you know what, though? I just told my son about that. I said. I just told my son.
Cause he said he have social anxiety when he out in public, you know. And I mean, I'm like, son, how the hell you know that you got social anxiety? Like, you know, you just 14.
But he was, you know, but when he get in public, you know, he just, you know, shy away. Like, he get like real shy or something.
But I told him. But I said, here's the thing though, son. When you on the phone and you facetiming your friends and stuff like that, it's like you can interact with them on the screen, but you can't interact with them in public. And I said, man, that's really psychological, though. Cause you can't really interact with them in public, but you can interact with them on the screen.
[00:46:15] Speaker C: But my son Maury was like that.
At 12 years old, he had social anxiety. He always felt awkward. And the only thing that really brought him out of his shell just a little bit was him playing the saxophone. He got on the band. But Even still, at 23 years old, he's still socially awkward. He still gets anxiety. The only thing that brings him out is the fact he got to play that saxophone. And he hides behind it. Playing the saxophone. Mari does not have friendships. He does not develop relationships with people outside of our family or his own personal relationship or whatever, but he does not have friends.
He's Socially awkward. He has Internet friends, people he work with. He may have a conversation with them while he's working. He does not develop friendships. He's socially awkward, and he's 23. He's been like that since he's been years old, 2012, 13 years old.
[00:47:00] Speaker B: But I think. I think honestly. I think socializing is a lost art, though. Seriously, like. Because honestly is talkative as I am to y'.
[00:47:08] Speaker A: All.
[00:47:09] Speaker B: And it's like, when I go places, like, it's hard for me, like, when people try to come and be like. Like, I've been on the elevator, somebody white asked me, how's the air up there?
Like, I just be like a dumb blank stare come over. I just be like. I don't know what to say.
I guess in some senses, like, I'd be like. I guess if I'm around my. Enough of.
I don't know how to say it, but that is weird. But I be struggling with that sometime.
[00:47:36] Speaker A: I really struggle with. Yes, it is.
[00:47:38] Speaker C: So you the type of person they say that you be looking around like, who you talking to?
[00:47:40] Speaker B: Yeah. And I just be like.
[00:47:42] Speaker A: They'll be laughing, boy, that's my son right there.
[00:47:44] Speaker C: Like, you're so shocked somebody having a conversation with you. That's how my son is.
[00:47:47] Speaker A: Hey, that's my son right there, man. Like, I was at event yesterday. I was. Me and my wife, the only. Really, literally the only black people in there, you know what I'm saying?
[00:47:55] Speaker B: See them at my type of events, man.
[00:47:57] Speaker A: And we was in there. People are people. Yeah, people is people, man. Once you kinda. And that's the other part, too, of just sometimes, man, when we be in those settings or just different settings, you know, our background, I'm gonna say, yeah, our background kind of come out sometimes. Things that we used to. Being around the people that look like us and then being in a situation like that. Like, for instance. Cause years ago, you know, because of what my wife does, it kind of, you know, I was looking at, you know, them type of events. Like, I was looking at. I would smile upon them, and I just didn't know how to interact with them because I ain't never really been in a situation where it was just all white people, you know what I'm saying? Like. And just as well, like, how white people probably feel about black people or all black events, you know what I'm saying? You got black people feel that way about a white event, you know what I'm saying? Maybe in a different way, you know, you thinking them. You thinking they Looking at you like a slave.
Just depending on what you've been taught when you growing up.
[00:49:01] Speaker C: I ain't gonna say they don't think about you like that, but no, I'm
[00:49:04] Speaker A: just saying, like, it just depend on what you've been taught growing up. That when you come to these types of events or what you've seen on tv, you see and you go to these type events, then that you know, you can't help but your mind bring back all the stuff in the remembrance. And you already stereotyping the situation. But honestly, you know, I mean, it was. I had loved it, you know what I'm saying? And of course, I'm used to it now. Cause, you know, so you got on
[00:49:29] Speaker C: a dance floor dancing.
[00:49:30] Speaker A: Well, yeah, my wife, she, you know, you know, she love to dance, man. So like, sometimes I get on the dance floor, sometimes I don't. But they, man, they love my wife, man.
[00:49:42] Speaker B: For me, bro, the barrier be like, I'm kind of stubborn. I'm stubborn and I feel like they be expecting us to code switch, bro. And that's the thing that be like, that's the thing that hindered me.
[00:49:54] Speaker A: Not just at work, but I don't think.
[00:49:56] Speaker B: Nah, but like, I just like all the time I feel like it depends
[00:50:00] Speaker A: on your position at work.
[00:50:01] Speaker B: I feel like they like. And I'm one of those type of people, bro. If you don't authentically accept who I am, like, it's hard for me to just like be in a space with you. And I feel like the expectation of me is to like, I'm sometime a big personality. I feel like when I walk in a room, if you feel a certain way about yourself, you expect for me to be like taking a backseat or the code switch, like, and just I got to talk a certain way, my dialect, like, that's what I be thinking about.
[00:50:29] Speaker A: You really ain't gotta do none of that, man. Like, you know, and.
And you really honest guy, you really don't have to do that, you know what I'm saying? People gonna have to shift, you know, they who they are and you be who you are, you know what I'm saying? And that's really what I teach. Teach my kids that, you know, we ain't doing no code switching, you know what I'm saying? You know, certain circuits, certain situations that you in, certain situations you in that, you know. Of course you ain't with the homies, so, you know, I ain't talking to the homies, man, but, you know, just a regular conversation. Like, you Know, and. And it talk and to be around. When you around your homeless, you have that your guard down so, you know, you can talk to them a certain way. Like when you in a situation like that, your guard gonna be up, like, you know what I'm saying? So it's like really natural for you to. I mean, you ain't really code switching, but it's like, you know, you just talking just a little bit, not giving them much, right?
[00:51:24] Speaker B: You don't want to seem ignorant.
[00:51:25] Speaker D: Like you.
[00:51:26] Speaker B: You're not gonna give. You're not gonna give them what a lot of people expect you to give. Like. So you just gonna be like, nah, I got. I got some sense.
[00:51:32] Speaker A: I got.
[00:51:33] Speaker B: You ain't gonna get around and just be doing anything.
[00:51:35] Speaker A: So you saying they do look at you like that well at work? Nah, they don't look at you like that at work.
Nah, they don't. Man, listen, I think we got a few minutes left, man.

I ain't saying, like, you be feeling like no old feeble man, but like, yo, you start feeling like you ain't gonna be as young as you used to be. Like, I was walking the other day carrying some bags, like. And I had took a step to like, go up the stairs, and like, my knee, like, I almost felt like my knee almost came out on. I'm like, bro, man, that stuff. Older people used to be saying that stuff kind of real. Like, especially not exercising.
