Canadian bird flu case raises potential pandemic concernsA teen in BC critically ill with H5N1 bird flu has raised concerns about a new pandemic, since it's not clear how they acquired the virus. Researchers are closely monitoring the virus as it spreads, primarily among animals for changes that could indicate it spreading more easily in humans. Matthew Miller, the Canada Research Chair of Viral Pandemics from McMaster University, says the timing of this case is particularly concerning given the potential for influenza viruses to mix now that we're heading into flu season and wild birds are migrating. Sighted and blind people can learn to echolocate equally wellEcholocation — using sound reflections to sense surroundings — is best known among animals like bats and dolphins. But many blind people have also learned to echolocate, and a new study has shown that sighted people can learn to do it just as effectively as those without sight. Dr. Lore Thaler, a professor in psychology and director of the human echolocation lab at Durham University in England, and her team published their findings in the journal Cerebral Cortex. An elephant's shower shows sophisticated tool useAn elephant at the Berlin Zoo has learned to manipulate hoses to wash herself, and is fascinating researchers, including Humboldt University PhD student Lena Kaufmann, who is investigating tool use in non-human animals. In a recent study, published in the journal Current Biology, Kaufmann and colleagues gave Mary the elephant different hoses to test her abilities, and she quickly either adapted to use the hoses to meet her end goal, or got frustrated when the hoses didn't work and bit the hose in anger. What's also interesting is a companion pachyderm that has apparently learned to sabotage these showers by kinking the hose. Pesticides used on farms attract bumblebee queens, not to their benefitResearchers were surprised and disturbed to discover that in tests, young queen bumblebees hibernated in pesticide-contaminated soils. During her PhD studies at the University of Guelph, Dr. Sabrina Rondeau found that bumblebee (Bombus impatiens) queens seemed to prefer soil samples containing pesticides, even when presented with a pesticide free soil option. They're not clear on why the bees would prefer soils with pesticides, but are concerned with the impact this might have on their reproduction and survival. The study is published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.A writer speaks for the trees, and says we have much in common with themThere are about three trillion trees on our planet — about four hundred for each of us. And we literally couldn't live without them. They take in millions of tons of carbon dioxide each year, and provide us with oxygen. Saving our forests is a big step toward saving our planet from the challenges from climate change. Dr. Daniel Lewis, an environmental historian at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California writes about just twelve of the the most exotic, important and interesting species we share the Earth with in his book The Twelve Trees: The Deep Roots of our Future.

Gada dzīvnieks 2024 Latvijā - stirna; gada kukainis - lielacu kamene

Latvijas Dabas muzejs par gada dzīvnieku izvēlējies tik ierastu, bieži sastopamu dzīvnieku kā stirna. Kā pamatojums izvēlei ir cilvēku mazās zināšanas par šķietami parastiem Latvijas dzīvniekiem. Iepazīstam tuvāk stirnas! Stāsta Latvijas Nacionālais dabas muzeja Komunikācijas nodaļas vadītāja, zooloģe Inta Lange. Stirna ir mazākais un visbiežāk sastopamais briežu dzimtas dzīvnieks Latvijā. Iespējams, daudz būsim manījuši dabā stirnu atstātās pēdas, skatījuši šos dzīvniekus grāmatu lappusēs un dokumentālās filmās, bet stirna tāpat saglabājusi zināmu noslēpumainības plīvuru, un šim graciozajam dzīvniekam tas itin labi piestāv. Stirnas ir arī prasmīgas izdzīvotājas, kļūstot par ļoti ierastu dzīvnieku mūsu dabas ainavā. Latvijas Nacionālais dabas muzejs gada dzīvnieku izvēlas jau 25 gadus. Tradīciju izvirzīt gada simbolu muzejs aizsāka 2000. gadā ar mērķi populārzinātniskā veidā stāstīt sabiedrībai par Latvijā aizsargājamiem dzīvniekiem. Laika gaitā gada dzīvnieka gods piešķirts arī bieži sastopamām dzīvnieku, visbiežāk zīdītāju, sugām, jo ikdienas darbs muzeja speciālistiem pierādījis, ka arī par tām ir interese un trūkst zināšanu. Tieši ar tādu apsvērumu par 2024. gada dzīvnieku Dabas muzejs izvēlējies mazāko un biežāk sastopamo briežu dzimtas pārstāvi Latvijā – stirnu Capreolus capreolus. Gada kukainis - lielacu kamene Šogad gada kukaiņa gods pienākas bišu dzimtas pārstāvei lielacu kamenei, kura ir īpaši aizsargājamo sugu sarakstā, kā arī Latvijas Sarkanajā grāmatā iekļauta kameņu suga. Kā nosaukums vēstī, šai kamenei vai, pareizāk sakot, kameņu tēviņiem ir lielas acis, bet cik viegli vai grūti to var atšķirt no citām kameņu sugām, kur dzīvo šīs lielacu kamenes, stāsta Latvijas Entomoloģijas biedrības pārstāvji Jānis Gailis un Madara Merle, kuri, arī pastāsta par sirmām kamenēm. Latvijā mīt ap 30 kameņu sugām un lielacu kamene ir viena retākajām, ne tikai pie mums, bet  diezgan plašā areālā no Centrāleiropas līdz Āzijas videnei. Rets kukainis un maz ziņu par to, tā teic Pasaules dabas fonda un Latvijas entomoloģijas biedrības pārstāve Madara Merle un Latvijas Biozinātņu un tehnoloģiju universitātes asociētais profesors un Latvijas entomoloģijas biedrības valdes loceklis Jānis Gailis. Interesants ir šī gada kukaiņa zinātniskais nosaukums - Bombus confusus, burtiski tulkojot no latīņu valodas, tas nozīmē apmulsusī, apjukusī jeb izbrīnītā bumba. Par šo izbrīnu liecina minētās milzīgās tēviņu acis. Lai arī reta suga un neskolotam dabas vērotājam ir visai niecīga iespēja to  pamanīt pļavā, tomēr tas neliedz cerēt uz laimīgu gadījumu un kaut vai stāstā iepazīt šo kameni un citas tās attālākās radinieces. Jānis Gailis un Madara Merle turpina par  šo kameņu mājvietu, ko tās veido uz zemes.

Buy One, Give One = “BOGO” for the Modern Age: How Dave Heath, CEO & Co-Founder of Bombas, Built a Brand In the Spirit of Giving

The Retail Pilot

Dave Heath is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bombas. Prior to the launch in 2013, Dave dedicated two years to rigorous product testing and refinement to create the best performing and most comfortable sock available, while staying true to their mission of helping those in need. Dave holds a BA from Babson College with majors in Marketing, Management, and Entrepreneurship. Previously, he led business development as one of the founding employees at UrbanDaddy followed by joining the new media acquisitions and strategy team at Yucaipa Companies. As a true serial entrepreneur, Dave has founded three companies, with one successful exit, and has invested and consulted on a range of start-up businesses from concept, through launch and continued growth. Dave has been featured on ABC's Shark Tank, NBC TODAY Show, CBS This Morning, ABC Good Morning America, Bloomberg TV and in The New York Times, and was named EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017.In this episode of The Retail Pilot, Dave Heath joins Ken Pilot and discusses the journey of starting a mission-based sock company and the challenges and successes along the way. He shares insights on the importance of focus, sustainable growth, and using time to your advantage. Dave also talks about the power of partnerships and collaborations that align with Bombas' mission. He emphasizes the need for authenticity and staying true to the brand's values. Additionally, he discusses the role of technology in marketing and the future of the company. In this conversation, Dave Heath discusses the potential of AI in e-commerce and its application in various areas such as asset creation, site updates, and site merchandising. He also introduces Constructor, an AI-powered site merchandising tool. The conversation touches on the use of AI in customer service and the importance of understanding the customer experience. Additionally, Dave shares his favorite streamed shows and provides a promo code for Bombus products.Key Takeaways from this episode of The Retail Pilot with Dave Heath, CEO of Bombas:1.    Entrepreneurial Journey and Problem-Solving Approach: Dave Heath's journey began with a desire to work for himself, learning various skills and exploring different industries, always with the intent of eventually starting his own business. His approach was less about the industry and more about identifying and solving problems. He noticed the lack of socks in homeless shelters, leading him to start Bombas with a mission to donate a pair of socks for every pair sold.2.    Socially Conscious Business Model: Bombas was established with a buy-one-give-one model, similar to TOMS Shoes, to address the significant need for socks in homeless communities. Over time, this model evolved to include not just socks but also underwear and t-shirts, the top three most requested clothing items at homeless shelters.3.    Founding Team Dynamics: Dave Heath, along with co-founder Randy Goldberg and two others, formed a cohesive team where each member possessed specific skills that complemented one another. Their self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses helped them work effectively together, aligning their shared values and visions for the company's ethical growth.4.    Sustainable Growth Strategy: Bombas adopted a deliberate, focused growth strategy rather than chasing rapid expansion. They avoided excessive fundraising and maintained profitability from the outset. They prioritized methodical growth, aiming for sustainability and quality over immediate scale. This approach allowed them to retain control and avoid unnecessary stress associated with continuously raising capital.5.    Multi-Channel Distribution Strategy: Despite primarily being a direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand, Bombas strategically entered the wholesale market after reaching a certain revenue milestone. They carefully selected appropriate retail partners, ensuring the brand fit and maintaining their status as the top-selling sock brand in every store they entered. While primarily D2C-focused, they've recognized the value of being present where customers shop, gradually expanding into various channels without diverting too many resources from their core business.6.    Product Distribution Strategy: Dave Heath emphasizes a focus on strategic distribution channels like Nordstrom rather than vending machines, as the latter may not significantly impact Bombas' growth due to low sales volume.7.    Brand Strategy & Collaborations: Bombas values collaborations that align with their mission. Dave highlights partnerships with Sesame Street, Disney princesses, and LGBTQ+ initiatives, showcasing the brand's commitment to giving back and staying mission-driven.8.    Marketing Approach: Bombas employs a multi-channel marketing strategy, using various platforms like TV (including connected TV), Facebook, Google, and more. They leverage different channels to reach diverse audiences, considering each channel's effectiveness for specific demographics.9.    Competition Perspective: Bombas sees larger commodity incumbents like Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, and Gildan as primary competitors. They aim to capture market share from these established brands by positioning Bombas as a premium mass-market brand known for comfort and quality.10. Tech Integration: While Bombas utilizes technology, such as AI tools for customer service and site merchandising, they prioritize being an apparel company that uses technology, not a technology-driven company. They cautiously approach integrating tech, focusing on customer experience and efficiency without compromising their core values.

National Pollinator Week is an annual celebration since 2010 in support of pollinator health that was initiated and is managed by Pollinator Partnership. This year National Pollinator Week festivities will take place across the country June 19 – 25, 2023 and in celebration, this week on Cultivating Place we look closely at one particular group of our native pollinators the charismatic bumble bees, the more than 250 species in the genus Bombus. Our guest this week, Leif Richardson, is an Endangered Species Conservation Biologist with the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, coordinating the community science efforts behind the newest of the society's North American Bumble Bee Atlases - this time in California. If you're in the Northern California listening region, mark your calendars for the mid-July opening of an in-depth and beautiful exhibit entitled Bombus: The Natural History of Bumble Bees. At Gateway Science Museum on the campus of California State University, Chico, this new exhibition interweaves current scientific research on the North American population of bumble bees, as well as over a decade of study, observations and spectacular photography by plantsman and California Bumble Bee Atlas participant John Whittlesey. Through his deeply studied lens, you will never see a bumble bee again without a deepened love and appreciation. Listen in this week and join us in person this summer!

Bumblebee mouthparts exhibit poor acuity for the detection of pesticides in nectar

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.03.526956v1?rss=1 Authors: Parkinson, R. H., Scott, J., Jones, H., Dorling, A. L., McDermott-Roberts, A. E., Haslam, M., Wright, G. A. Abstract: Bees are important pollinators of agricultural crops, but their populations are at risk when pesticides are used. One of the largest risks bees face is poisoning of floral nectar and pollen by insecticides. Studies of bee detection of neonicotinoids have reported contradictory evidence about whether bees can taste these pesticides in sucrose solutions and hence avoid them. Here, we use an assay for the detection of food aversion combined with single-sensillum electrophysiology to test whether the mouthparts of the buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) detect the presence of pesticides in a solution that mimicked the nectar of oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Bees did not avoid consuming solutions containing concentrations of imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, or sulfoxaflor spanning six orders of magnitude, even when these solutions contained lethal doses. Only extremely high concentrations of the pesticides altered spiking in gustatory neurons through a slight reduction in firing rate or change in the rate of adaptation. These data provide strong evidence that bumblebees cannot detect or avoid field-relevant concentrations of pesticides using information from their mouthparts. As bees rarely contact floral nectar with other body parts, we predict that they are at high risk of unwittingly consuming pesticides in the nectar of pesticide-treated crops.

Yeah, I heard of that. You ever heard of them documentary for a Showtime? Yeah, I haven't heard a Showtime. Showtime is where the data's coming out for 20Hey, can we get a congratulations?fucking platinum. Second. One's coming out. You guys on the way, man. You know, we waiting on that, right? We know you're waiting on. He's waiting. Guess what? Big lips waiting. Can you hurry up? He's waiting, waiting on that from her. You got creamed by the mailbox. Got crazy. that's where it needs to be. Hey, listen.Hey. Hey look bro. I'm sorry, bro. Bro. Don't upset virtual Lipkey cause there's going to be a battle between the real lucky and the virtual lepto. You understand that man, that man made it by the grace. So, you know, the man have says, you know, shout out to my homeboy, Mr. Cartoon. He don't like to hear about God.So we religious, we spiritual. I'm like, shit, I might it's like Twilight zone. I might go in, it might not come out. So, you know, right.fucking blue wall. It's like, I ran up into the tent. are you to go? I can't get, I can't bring you up in there. He was like, why not? I go, look, these motherfuckers don't want nobody in there. They want no filming. You get caught on skid row filming nowadays what happens scan. So then we get mad, right? So anyway, he's like, look, you can come in, but you can't bring the.So I just, I got, so I walked out the 10 and nobody goes, Hey, did you get any dope out of that tent? And I go, yeah, he goes, man, two guys just passed out on the fed died or something. And I was like, well, you know, I'm, you know, maybe I got problems though. All right. So hold on. Sorry. All right, listen, that's true.Esteban, uh, the Cyprus tell us the high point of working on the Cypress hill documentary and exactly what are it, what is the subject matter besides Cypress? So what are you actually capturing? Yeah, man, I'd say the high point is finishing it. And, uh, um, what was the second part? What, what is it about all that it's about, uh, 30 years of their career?Um, you know, uh, in the beginning we tell a little bit of the story of where they all came from. Uh, Sen dog came from, uh Goolwa and then Bobo was a. He's Puerto Rican, but I think his family came from the east coast and landed here in LA mugs was from New York. Then he later on came to LA and be real, was born and raised here in LA.And then, uh, the way they all met up and how they did the group, you know, put the group together and shop the deal. And, you know, from there on, it was just, you know, like a snowball and when, so we're now in a new era of kind of like filmmaking, I think, where it's not right. So when Showtime time, or how did that project come together?Well, um, well, I've been, uh, trying to do this project for maybe 10 years and, uh, it took Ella originals to bring it back to me or bring it to me because, uh, you know, I think the homeys probably thought like, ah, Maybe I could do music videos, but maybe not, you know, pull together on a full, full feature movie.I know for a network. And so they had other people in mind and uh, other people working on it, but that didn't work out or those guys didn't come through. Right. So, uh, Ellie originals came out and, and they were like, Hey, what do you think about, you know, maybe you working on the document. I was like, you know, it sounds a good idea to me.Right. And, um, you know, just got right back right back to it. And, uh, it feels kind of like, um, my original idea would be to do like a four-part series. Like a Jimmy I've been in Dre did, uh, the defiant ones kind of like do that, but on the solar Sassons cause you know, we have, you know, so much, so many different people in our group, in our crew that.Uh, you know, there, there they're artists that are, you know, go, go through all the different forms of art from music to film, to, um, fashion and then art film and video. So we got people in all those different realms of art, and I thought it'd be cool to do a documentary from there. And then, because there wouldn't be enough time to tell all the stories, then we break it off and go into individual stories like Cypress hill, meaning cartoon, um, the house of pain, you know, like, uh, uh, the rest of the crew, you know, the, the dilated peoples and the funk dubious.And, you know, there's a chasing Cron, Don, you know, there's a lot of different, uh, you know, uh, there's James Khan, the hooligans with, uh, I mean, uh, Scottie con and Al you know, Scotty's James concert. Right. So, you know, that there's that big, uh, uh, you know, big, how would you say, uh, like they, they left a big mark in the film industry, right.In film and in TV. And then, uh, you know, they're calling alchemists one of the greatest producers alive, you know, those years. So yeah. You know, our crew goes deep into every different, uh, form of art. And, um, and I also got members that are kind of like part members from other groups. So you got these, like the Rizza you don't, or like their part soul Sassons kind of too, right?Yeah. I mean, you know, mugs did albums with pretty much everybody in, and he's done remixes for, you know, huge people and, uh, also too. Anyways, well that didn't work out, you know, doing it that way. So we, we went to, we did LA originals and so I feel kind of like, this is kind of like part two, but, you know, we're, we're moving up to right where I wanted to start.Right. But it's going, it's going the opposite way, but it's still, it's still delivering you a place that you're able to tell all the stories that you want to tell. Yeah. You're the one that can only tell those stories. You want to be able to get them out. This is heading that direction it's still on is I would say maybe more than 10 years that he's been talking about multiple documentaries, this in particular Cypress hill souls, but there's a bunch of things you've been talking about for a long time and, you know, but I think it's also jumaan if you were there, like maybe some of us are there, this is the ultimate example of.Letting go and not trying to force somebody to do something your way and to just back up, let go, and just continue doing your craft. Yeah. And eventually, you know, even with people that are close to you, sometimes they need to see it in different way to be receive it. You know? And I think what he's talking about is really what happened.Well, LA originals drops and people that he's, you know, two seconds from now are seeing him at different light, just because it's been brought to you through Netflix. Another thing that I want to kind of like point out is that Esteban's been focused on this thing for like decades. Right. And in, in, in, in w when you're sitting there like chilling with your friends and stuff and talking about bullshit project, Well, that's the one that's been focused on is almost a no brainer when you pitch it, you go like, well, what about a documentary about Cypress hill?Or what about LA originals? Meaning cartoon, right? That's a no brainer. Like you don't really no brainer now. No wait, but wait, but what I'm saying is, is that it's a no brainer even five years ago, really? For us. Yes. For us. Yes. But the point of the matter is, is that it's a project that anybody, it makes sense.And then, but Esteban's been on it for a long time. So what happens is I've experienced this even with just talking to U S Devonta, talking to people that are around us, I've experienced situations where people are like, all right, let's make this film tomorrow. Right. Right. And then, uh, Esteban's like, yeah, it doesn't necessarily work that way.Yes. Right. Do you understand what I'm saying? Oh, there's people that have been in something maybe four or five, six years. Right. And they're frustrated because they want the thing made already. And it doesn't go like that all the time, man. I'm all the time. Mostly doesn't go that way. And so, and so I don't have a lot of experience with it.I know you step on that and I know you do because I've seen it time and time again, person just sees somebody on fricking Netflix or whatever, and they think like, oh, so we can just make that tomorrow. They don't realize the thing that hit Netflix is 10 years in the making 20 years or in the making. So that's the one, I mean, you've got a very, um, I would say crafted style about your persona and you don't, um, just stipulate, outrageously or yell necessarily.And people around, you got all these brilliant ideas that you've already thought of and tried to get them excited about 10 decades ago. And now they're coming to you. Like it's a new idea. How do you remain so Zen about it? Is it the facial hair that kind of has a Japanese twinge to it? Or how do you do it?Um, I would just say, I just keep it moving. You know, I get up every day, hit the sun on the ice and think about while I'm there. That's about an hour and a half, two hour, a little ritual I do every day. That's when I think about what I'm going to do for the rest of that day. Um, you know, of course I think about all the shit that I have coming in the future, but for the most part, I just think about today, you know, cause we all know, all we have is today, yesterday's gone.Tomorrow's not here yet. So I just focus on today and, and the bigger picture, but, um, you know, fucking there's, there's never enough time in the day for me, that's for sure. And uh, I got a lot of, you know, I was looking at this, I was looking at this, uh, at this trailer. From Elliot original started off as a project called Inc the movie.And I'm looking, uh, it was 15 years ago that we put that trailer up on the, uh, up on YouTube 15 years ago. Yeah. Hold on. That's whenthat's, when, uh, you know, that's when that's, when somebody put that up on YouTube, but that was when that was that late originals. Right. And, uh, the, uh, a friend of ours, Sebastian Ortega, the one who, uh, you know, locked in that deal, he came and he was like, Hey, man, I want to do, or I want to do ink, you know?And, um, you know, of course we had to change it cause they molested the fuck out of that word, in that industry. We, we, you know, uh, we put it together and came up with LA originals and, um, Hey, how did you come up with the original song? It was really easy. Um, it was, uh, it was, you know, a bunch of homeys sitting around, um, and, uh, was, it was me and, uh, Adam and the homie Bobby, and, uh, maybe one or two other people.And we were just throwing around names and Adam violet Brown's son, he came up, he he's like, well, why don't you just call the LA originals? And they're like, yeah, why don't we? And then we pitched that to, to the, to the team and everybody loved it. And we went with that. Um, and if it fit perfect, cause it's like, not only is it me and cartoon, we were born and raised in LA and, but the whole movie is about LA.We've done in LA and about LA around the world. So it was like that shit just locked in perfectly. And, um, I forgot where I was pulling it out perfectly. Yeah. And that's kinda what brought this people needed to see that all happen. Oh, you talked about it because people just think that it's made just like, but now, now that we're kind of in the zone of LA originals and a little bit of the putting together.I think another thing that's, uh, is interesting is that big lap right. Was in LA originals. Uh, and now I am famous deep in it, deep in it. And now here he is famous. Right. And, um, what are your observations where he was and where he is now putting you on the spot as the Vaughn, don't be waving your hand.Yeah. And unconscious unclench your fist. No one's doing, you were just on the show a week ago or whatever it was and it's already played. So whatever anyone heard in that shows what they heard. Hold on. I'm sorry. I just want to ask you, Hey listen, go ahead. Go ahead, please. Certain things that him and I know outside of this microphone and the thing that I don't, you know, like, like go here, whatever, is this a fucking meeting or is it a show about this, bro?You tripping. It's a scare. You, it does it scare. You do whatever you gonna to do wrong. I'm just, I, listen, this is a longtime friend. He's tried to quit winking. No, because the last time I fucking talked to him, this is my I, every time I get I'm getting blown out of the water. And now you got usyou were talking about things. We just got them to go hunting, but this part of it. Yeah. But like I got my son on here listening to him. I said, look, can we justyou to go hard on me? I ain't tripping on that. I just tripping out. You know, like, no, no, no, no, no. Don't tell the truth. No, no, no. As Davon knows how to be prudent. This is a man that's man, longer than you think. So. What does that mean? What did he say? And prudent. Fuck his mother running everybody over the you ain't fruit and bro, look at this.There's a whole lot. Cause it's like quiet dude. Do whatever fucking duct tape Smitty and throw him in the back. Don't distract us with Schmidt. Now he's waving a red flag. What was the first question? The question was Esteban. You've known him a long time and we saw. Uh, I think maybe challenges that, um, big lip was facing in LA originals.And now here he is. Um, are, do you have any observations or concerns or thoughts about, um, welcome back dreaming only on peacock. Can't wait to start junior year saved by the bell is back and taking school spirit. Our Bibles just destroyed our mascot. We're going to crush valley to the max. If we don't learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it.Reboots of teen Charles, from the nineties, you had a new idea. Hollywood saved by the bell new season screaming. Now let's do this baby only on peacock. Uh, he's still going through the same challenges, you know, like we all, we all do all have been, um, you know, at any second, any one of us could. Go left when we should be going.Right. And, uh, yeah, we always, we all got one foot on a banana put on life, you know, so it's like, you know, anything could happen at any time. And, um, you know, I see a lot of my friends going through struggles and challenges and, and pulling through it. And then, uh, there's some that haven't, you know, recipes of my homie Egypt, he passed away.Um, you know, there's a, there's a bunch of, you know, we've all lost a bunch of friends and family members due to, you know, everything that's going on right now. Um, but I see him left, uh, you know, he's, he, uh, everybody has a 50 50 chance that everything with everything, you know, it's like, what do you think the chances are?You're getting you doing this or that 50 50 that I'm going to where I'm not, you know, so. Um, there's no guarantees and there's no, uh, you know, for sure things. So it depends on, uh, you know, however much work you put into it. That's what you get out of it. Sure. So I take them in order. Um, um, I feel like LEP, well, let me put this way.There was a period of time where I felt like lip was putting in a lot of work. Right. And then all of a sudden, it seems like the work's not there. I was saying, put in the work, you get the results. You don't put in the work and you don't get the results. Half of the work and half Hashem, you're going to get some FAFSA shit.If you want to like visually, like, if you want to ask the question, like, do you feel that you did black lacked on the worker? You're like, bro, I think I lacked, lacked on a lot of other stuff. I didn't just get lazy, but I seen something that happened to me last night. You ain't got to do all that. You look good anyway.Stay in your lane anyway. So anyway,Yeah, it happened to me last night, you know, there was just like, just so much shit happening and that's, and that's, I was talking to somebody on the phone. They're like, you need to just fucking shut that door and worry about yourself. And maybe you're at a point in your life where, you know, you did what you had to do for those men, you know?And I started for me to like, have another individual telling me that, you know, but no, but wait a minute, you fell. But how about when, the way that the program works in like an honesty situation to where, even though I messed up for six months, like you keep looking at it, you know, like for fucking a long time, oh, well you weren't using in this picture.And I fucking, you know, swollen, I'm fucking swollen. I'm like I was three months in a run in this picture. So it takes a long time. It took me a minute in order to. So fuck shit up. And people were noticing that a real close to me there. They were like, next to me saying, is everything okay? And I'm like, sure.Everything's, you know, really in there. And I can see it in their face. Like even a step. I was like, no, everything. Ain't okay, motherfucker. I've known you. I've known you for so long. And then this dude next to me, by my, yeah, the homie right here next to me, he kind of knows what, I don't even look at peanut butter, but he's just hearing my voice.He was like, it was the fuck on me. Like you don't sound right. I know that voice. We know we both like, you know, I've never shot dope with you. How do you know my voice? He goes, cause I shoot dope and I know the voice. So what's going on. Can you interpret that, that we just got a long one as soliloquy from a big law.How do you, how do you interpret what he just said? Um, that, um, I would say that he knows what he, what he did. He knows what he's doing and he knows what he has to do. To get back on the right track. Now it's all about applying everything. He knows just your measure, which is that hard work that you were talking about.Right. You know, cause it, it ain't easy and, uh, you know, uh, He just got to get back to it and it's no secret, no big deal. But, um, but in a way there is, there is a secret because it hasn't reached certain levels in that thing to where I want it to be like, I want to go and just like, make the drastic announcements and do that.But at the same time, I also I'm preparing myself because they say that you have to be honest in all your affairs in what we practice. I practice the 12 step program. Yeah. But I don't, if I were here to suck, he was like, well, you haven't been practicing the right fucking way. None of this shit would have happened.I don't think maybe we just listened to my leaders. He's got 19they know something about not picking up exactly where I got that. Steve, I see you leaning in a certain direction. Right. And then I'm looking at you interpret things, you know, big, big left to what are you hearing? And big lips, you know, He's doing, he's doing better. He, and I think like left, like if someone said he knows what happened, right.And, um, and, and he knows what he has to do. I mean, he'd been knowing this information for a while now, but at the same time, you know, I think that it's, it's applying the information. Maybe it's in the way that you apply it. It needs to be applied maybe differently. The way that you're setting it up. A lot of times it and me the same way I come at sobriety and it lies.And then it falls apart. I guess I started looking at what I was building and I kept on building it unrealistic unsustainable way. Or, you know, like, I don't know. And I really doing the work. I don't know. Esteban did you, and with big, big Lux, right. And big Lux has been through ups and downs or whatever he struggled with.So do you see a similar thing with your friends where you're like, man, they're putting something together, but, uh, but why does it, sometimes it seems like the threads get lost or whatever it is and you know him for a long time. So yeah, probably all of them. I think all my, most of my friends are the same type of person.I don't know. It's weird. Uh, I think, uh, I don't know, but they're all super creative to make it's uh, like when they put their mind at something like a creative idea, it comes out, you know, real, it comes out sick, you know, what, what exactly what they were telling me, maybe even a little bit better and. It's it's a cool process to watch.This is not cool when you know that they're there in their lows and people are, you know, people are getting hurt and not, not like in a physical way, but feelings and shit like that. Yeah. That's not cool. Um, It's, you know, it's, it's been part of the story the whole time. It's part of all of our story and we all have been living it and it's, you know, it's all real life, you know?I mean that, that part of it's real. And when, when big LEP came through last week and he was talking about what he was going through, he, you got choked up a minute there. And I got to tell you mid showed up for like a weeks, man. Like it says, it's just like, if you see me up every day, like really like this one here, this one's heavy, you know, 'cause people hit me up.People hit me up that I don't even know right. People from Milwaukee. And they're like, I almost started crying. I cried when I heard big. And so this, this, this, I think about that. And I'm like, man, there's nobody, these two guys are still on big, big Lux and big Lackey. I've never seen it maybe in a few occasions, but these guys are beloved.Like in any scenario that they're in, they're creative, but also they're like, people love that. Yeah. Right. No, I trip out on that. Cause motherfuckers hate on me and I'm doing I'm fucking doing all my shit. Right? Like tell the Indian to shut the fuck up. I can just imagine if I fucked up, that'd be like trying to kill yourself.Right. Like, oh man. How about a typical day walking down sunset. They'll be like, people will stop me and be like, where's lucky yet. I'm like, eh, like he's people. He knows that. I don't know. Like, I don't know. He's like, um, when she went left, when, when they said, when I was talking about all my close friends, this is kind of what goes on.I started thinking about the group friends. It's like. Yeah, it is man. And the stem on is definitely the one is the, um, he's the, uh, what is it? The common denominator in these, right. So a lot of people close to him, we lost some of them along the way. You know, some never came back. Some are busted, some are out here trying to figure it out somewhere in a sober living and, and right.But they're struggling with this thing. And, and Estelle on is like the, in many ways been the anchor, right? I mean, he was right. He goes through all the shit. And so, and he does it without catching a lot of fucking, uh, attitude about it. And through it, he's dealt with good friends, telling a fuck you and all that shit.And he just fucking, then they come around and apologize. But I'm saying, me looking at all that we can, all that. I got to a place in my life where I wanted to stop. Like when the clock turns and it becomes the lucky show. Now everybody's scared. Lucky's fucking up lucky. I got sick of that time coming. And it being the lucky show again, like I'd rather be one of the glue pieces in this, right.I'd rather be the guy that doesn't disappear and that's not bad. I can able to do small chunks of that, but I haven't been able to do that for a long, consistent stretches. And I'm trying to be, I'm not trying to be, that's the guy I want to be today. That's just accountable and be there more like a Stevan he's one mandate for a long time with a bunch of different dudes.Okay. Something that I've learned from Estella. And I don't generally talk about learning from people because I'm a fucking know it all show off faster, but no, I don't. But one of the things that God's love is true, but one of the things I learned from Esteban is to respect. To respect the amount of time you stuck at something because maybe in the first five years, people might not have been, but Esteban has stayed with a certain thing for so long and been so consistent at it for so long that he's built up a body of work and material to break through certain barriers.And when people look at them and think like, oh, well this is just a, you know, overnight success kind of guy, or it's now it's the Latin turn for media. So will, so here's Esteban instead, it's more like Esteban did it when people believed in it, when they didn't believe in it, when they saw the value in it, they didn't see the value, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.He was there with a camera and his fucking crew day in, day out. And I take that. I actually apply that when I think about my firm, I think about that. I don't think like I haven't seen this guy ever stopped working. Right. But I'm talking about even on trips to Japan and Vegas. Like we could be walking down to go get breakfast in the morning.I an hour asleep and it's still going to be sticker and shit promoting your shit. Yeah. Every minute. I can't do that. I have to be able to unplug like some other shit get lost on switching, but he is doesn't matter. He's either answering email, putting shit away. Right. He's pulling out the stencil to hit the curb and like, why you're just having a conversation stopping from spray, painting the floor right here.But people are listening. Like, what do you mean you guys are still trading on the fucking so yes we are. I think, I think I was getting mad at it for a while. I was getting mad at it, but I was getting mad at the fact that for so long we were doing shit and nobody was getting it. Right. But at some point in time, you give up and you're like, this is, I don't care of anybody.This is just what w what I do. But I think that there was some idea maybe in a Stefan's head or somebody that Avengers. The brown or that is going to get an opportunity at this thing. And whoever kind of has been staying true to the game and collectively, and I think that that kind of happened when, when that did kind of show up our Stefan, he had everything to back it up.I mean, amen is, I mean, everywhere we go was being documented. A lot of shit was being documented, was always being photographed, man, everywhere. We have a development session right now with the master Esteban Oriel guys got fucking show on Netflix, Showtime, um, and a lot more coming. Uh, he, well, he's starting his own streaming platform called Esteban Oriel channel when rival HBO, Esteban Oriel channel,just poached paramount. No, no, no.he posts, he put. He knows hoax. Listen, can I talk, can I tell him, Hey man, poached, one of the executives from paramount, their league president is working for us tomorrow. Do you want me to take those or you want me to add 17 million to guilt? If you want to borrow money, buy oil. Okay. I need some juice.juice, juice, money. I was like, are you Andy? I'm happy that I'm happy. I'm happy. He got the deal with the studio. That's in my neighborhood.Guess what? All of a sudden that's the on your parking fees are going to go through the roof. We know you're going to put theI went the other day to them. Look, don't be coming. You know, causing trouble? No, you gotta be cool. All the free coffee you want a big left over atnine 11. everybody where we always want free shit, man. I don't think that I always want free shit, motherfucker. What are you talking about? I always try to give free shit. I should get you against free shit, man. You would just ask him for juice money as two seconds ago, that's go back to the development.Let's go back to the development. You got a creative genius and we're wasting congrat Hey car. Now what? Wait, wait, wait, can I ask the question different way from developing the shell? Um, you can ask Anthony, you can talk about that, right, please. So he says that, uh, Esteban was always doing stuff when no one knew like it was going to pan out.And I can't just say. It'd be unfair to say that, that, um, there wasn't, it was cartoon. It was a stab on that. And, and, and the whole look, and the whole thing was, was being done and nobody was, nobody wanted to fuck with it. Everybody's scared of it. Nobody gave him any credit. Like that was the majority you guys have this whole thing, nobody getting it and leaving it.They had to go to Japan to do the first, there are two of their photo and his drawings because nobody here wanted it monitoring. But later years later, when I'm saying, it's like, oh, that shit is where the whole everybody went to. And I used to be burned out about it. I used to be like, man, these motherfuckers wouldn't listen.You know, like we've been showing them that shit forever. But as the, on his remained, not that guy, he doesn't do that type of shit. He just stayed cool. Because when you're holding four ACEs, you can have patients in a poker game. Right. But when you really do have it, you ain't tripping and he really has it.Right. Did you always believe that it was going to pan out of that? Um, yeah, just a lot faster. I thought I was gonna, I thought she was going to go through, but then I was like, so invested that I couldn't quit. I was like so deep in it. I was like, I'm not pulling out now. Remember it, remember, listen, you know what I'm saying?So it's like we met when he talked about LA originals, when it finally came through and it looked like it was going down south by Southwest and then COVID hit or something hit. And it was like everything, every little daydream that you were having was just getting smashed and you think you broke through it?Bam. And it even ends up that it, it was right for it to go down. But this is why, now that we, now that the gas is in the car here, now that I'm choking on his fucking corner. And now that the gas is in the car and we've got a development, hold on, developmental genius here. That's the one. Why don't we, why don't you think about what would you.Okay, because we know gold. What would you do to create either a docu-series or even a show around big Mac key? What would it be called? How would you approach it? What would it be? All of a sudden left peace, quiet as a mother fucking church, right? I'm talking about church hill Butler, no church house mouse.Now forget that. Let's get back to your shows. It's trying to make a star out of you. Let's go. Well, wouldn't be as like one of those, um, continuing continuous showers. Yeah. What would it be more like? Um, it'd just be a straight out documentary. Like I have a sizzle reel that I did of, of and another one about DACI.Cause, uh, I've thought like those would be cool. Little breakaway stories from LA originals and those. Two stories outside of me and cartoon that got a lot of response. A lot of people gravitated towards those, those guys. Yeah. Because you know, I mean, they both been through a lot of shit. Right. And, um, that's what I was telling.Lipkey the other day I was like, amen. About a year ago was the best I've ever seen you, you know, in, in the 20 something years that I've known you, you know, you have the five years clean, you're managing all those, you know, sober livings. You're the manager, your house, you were going to school to get your, um, what's that thing called the, the counseling for drug and alcohol addiction.You got one level, but you got to go to level to where Smitty's actually got to do the homework and then he'll go to the next level. Yeah. Maybe he's just trying to get some frequent. So I was telling him I've never seen. Better than this should've been. Yeah. But this true, you are the healthiest in, in physically that I've ever seen him.My healthiest in his head, he was helping, you know, a lot of people all around the world that were getting at him because they saw him in LA originally, it was like, Hey man, it's building up a following. Yeah. W you know, you, you inspired us a lot. And, and I have the same type of issues that look like that you had in that, in the documentary, you know, what can I do to change?And he was helping a lot of people that were just getting at him through Instagram. And, you know, now it's like a worldwide nationwide thing. It wasn't just, he was helping people in LA cause before he's. Yeah. He, you know, when he'd get clean and sober, he'd help people in LA that are, you know, in direct contact with him.But now because of social media and all. He's branched out worldwide, you know, so I think the, uh, the, that, uh, a documentary on him and his whole story with would be inspiring to a lot of people. I agree. And, um, and I have a lot of footage of him, you know, in the dark places and, and in the light. And, um, that's what I'd tell him, man, because of my age, we should film this shit, you know, that you're doing, he was like, why do you want to feel now when you know, I don't, maybe I don't want people to see, you know, me doing that kind of shit.Homie. That's the shit that gets people's attention and you're doing it anyways for no reason. Right. So why don't we do it? And then with a reason, you know,no, there's a reason you're doing it, but there's no, there's nothing coming out of it. Except you just going deeper into the shit, going deeper in the rabbit hole. So there's, you know, uh, something positive out of it. Right. What I'm trying to say. Right. Getting all the negative out of it. That's for sure.But you know, why don't we document a little bit of it and get something positive out of it for later? You know, I don't even like doing it. Like I, I'm not, I'm not cool with watching my homie do fucked up shit to himself. Right. But I will throw myself, you know, on the fire, uh, you know, to, to get that shit.You know, for the, for the project overall. Well, the shaker getting the story. Right? Right. So, uh,you're good with all that rightnow. So this is what he says in rebuttal. That whole Sherm would look like a glazed donut. Okay, go ahead. Well, again, again, listen, listen. This is what are we using? Wait, what'd you say lip? I have your first.Okay, so we're at the . Hey, Hey, here we go. He's got a question for Smitty Smith.Everybody know you. Ain't gonna, somebody goes, Hey. Yeah, it was a problem with that thing. And then I got somebody else. I've got me go. That was one clip of you talking. I don't understand what you're saying. I hear that every day for hours circles,this is what I hear. I drove you to fucking LA you know, it's the true, like really? Because I've noticed a lot of things in my life that distracted a lot of individuals in that right there that ain't never going to stop. Like shiny. Good. Hold up. Thank you anyway. Right. Welloff and they all start firing off.anyway. No, no, no. Personally, I learned a lesson. Imagine if you died, that's what you'd be hearing all the way up. You'd be like,let me know when you're ready. Look, bro. Look, bro. Remember the baby, right? He wouldn't do it.where's the baby Ray who was here? He was doing and doing the fucking back arms. Yeah. I love sweetie. We're going to go look for baby. I need it. I'll give you his phone number. You can go right there, here, Smith. He's got something to say. She made a, what do you have to say? Chocolate shop? Yeah. Yeah. I heard, I heard that Jan Sussman is doing a documentary, this street of streetwear.Yeah. And he said they already did one of those. Right. That's what I heard, but they didn't get all the right people. Yeah. But, uh, Jan's doing one says that he's going to be getting you on talking to you and, and talking about some of that stuff. What, uh, what's going on with the stem on Oreo apparel right now.And, uh, and what's going on with joker brand brand coming back slowly? Is it wasn't? Yeah, like, like everything, I never quit anything and I, uh, just keep doing, you know, consistent. I still have a, I still have a joker Europe. Right. Going strong a long time. Yeah. Tim out there and joker Europe does everything, right?Like as far as, uh, the way he does shit for the brand. Um, for so many years, I had a fight with all of our partners, you know, that the Chinese investors and the Israelis, and it was always a struggle, you know, I always had to like, uh, you know, plead my case with them when they didn't know shit about what I was trying to do or anything.So it was like, I was always hitting a brick wall with every, everybody that we, you know, ever worked with. So now it's just me, you know, I. And I have Tim over there in Europe, he's doing it. He knows exactly what to do exactly how to do it. And he does it perfect. The, you know, he does a little bit better than me because that's his main focus.That's all he has to do everything. He's not doing books or Henry's, or, you know, taco trucks or none of that shit. He's just doing joker Europe. Right. But, um, you know, for, for me here in LA, I shipped to, uh, uh, we have a guy in Thailand who distributes to us. We have a guy in Taiwan, a couple of guys in Japan, um, Canada, Sheila Peru.So, you know, I have, I still have, uh, you know, people all around the world, distributed it and selling it in a time where. Everything is online. We, I still have people, you know, getting it out there in their area, which is cool. And then, uh, you know, I do my thing here pretty much. I sell it in on, uh, at Brooklyn projects and Nixon, Myrtle in Highland park.I love LA. Yeah. I love LA sells. And Steven Oriel do incredible for me, you know, that I always, like, I used to go in there like five years ago and just be like, man, it'd be crazy to get my LA stuff in a, in a store like this, where it's LA base, you know? Wow. And somewhere where people can go in and really get the shit, you know, you might sell a lot of product to them in the best places, fucking the airport, you know, dude it's so it was really smart that they opened that place.Yeah. Wow. And they had, you're like your number one thing, right? They, I do good there. It's just cool that, uh, you know, I used to go in there and think that I should be here one day, you know, it should be in here. And then I saw like homeboy industries get the bakery there and, uh, earth cafe and all these different places.We're getting these spots, trail tacos, you know, like, you know, 10, 15, 20 years ago, you would never think any of that shit ever be in the, in the, in the airport. Wow. So when I finally, you know, this guy reached out to me to see like where I could, if I, if they could, you know, do something with me in that store that I love LA store.Yeah. I was like, man, fucking here it goes, you know, it's happening finally. And, um, he made that connection and the shit's been going great ever since in there, except during the COVID when the whole airport got shut. Yeah, right. Fucking Esteban Oreo joker print. It's not Joe, the books, the photos, the films.Right, right. And then your, all the other shit, but wow. So had stolen. You busy dog grinding for 20, this drops on HBO, right, man. Did I'm excited 30 years and watched the shit, your house or what? Oh yeah. Well, we're going to try and get a little, uh, screening going on somewhere for the homeys that we can all go and celebrate, you know, somewhere at a movie theater, where of course they let the homie smoke, smoke some weed.So Simon movie puts a little bit where they ever, that might be the spot where they do a brain dead. Right. Or, uh, you know, someone. Maybe when a Quentin Tarantino spots, but definitely, uh, I went and saw, uh, um, the song remains the same, the night that is Jimmy page's birthday. So it was a very January 8th at 12 o'clock at night specifically?No, the, the one on Beverly that's combining go to that and Beverly in the Brady theater. And so I went and watched it there. The owner was like, we're going to play it loud, you know, so you can really enjoy the music. But I mean, for me, I would, uh, order a little bit extra sound package, you know, cause, um, it wasn't loud enough and it wasn't clear enough.I wanted to hear that shit, like at a show, you know? Yeah. So I'm thinking like if we do something for the Cyprus project, you know, we definitely have to bring in a little bit of extra sound. So I know a guy you get to hear and feel that fucking, that shit. You know how a guy, oh, blue eyes is an audio engineer.So I think it'd be cool to do screenings for the home, man. That'd be awesome, man. You know, he could really be great, bro. What do you think? Oh, what is leptin? No, bro. What do you mean? No.What I will do is I collect the kitty. He wants to collect the kid, he at the end, and then what these fuckingshit doing, guys getting all bummed out. They DD big money comingin and out in, and the numbers don't change the format. Bull G Hey shit, motherfucker. Shoot mine. Yeah. What we're going to do? Okay. This is what we're going to do, man. What are we going to do? Are you going to eat a hot dog? When you go watch the movie eat a hot dog. Now my blood pressure goes up.my blood pressure. I just fucking sticks a mess up my ass. Damn.secrets. Oh, Hey, what's going on today is step one. It to the taco truck, the LA originals taco truck to this tennis tournament over there. And I want a religion tennis tournament. Yeah, we do it all. Hey dude, is that the Esteban Oreo open classic tennis tournament? No, not yet. We're working on that right now.Right? Is there anything you're not doing? Um, yeah, there's a light Oreo taco truck. Are you guys just popping up at special events right now? Yeah, me and Paige, we just roll up to the events that, you know, we know people get it. Cause I mean that whole industry that talk there, that the food truck shit is just a shit show.You know, there's like so much out there. Right. Many out there. And like you just, you just can't roll up and think like, oh, I got these pictures on the truck. I got good food. I'm going to make thousands today. You know, it's a hard thing to break, but we kind of found our niche to get us off the ground. And that is to go to a people, events that know us, they get it and they want us there.Right. So it's, you know, it's kind of, it's just the way that we're going with that right now. And we don't want it to be out. I think you have a great taco, great product. And if anybody has any inquiries that wants to really fucking jump into a big, nice restaurant deal with these guys, I think we're going to sell on Oreo LA original tacos should be a restaurant who did Kenny Rogers roasters.They're working with Esteban right now, trying to see if they can do a version of that with Esteban Oriel, with all that go for them. It went well. But what they want to do is do your. Copyrighted protected LA fingers image that everybody tries to steal. Right. And turn it into a dining experience. That's what I understand.Now I got to tell you guys to be honest and I, you know, I'm sorry. I don't mean to, but so hard, like talking to Esteban and then in behind us Davon, I see. . Just like twitching and twisting and he's smoking this gigantic, babe. And so like, Esteban's like, well, yeah, I was working on this thing in 10 years and finally like this, and then he's back there, like a little flipper, like he's like a little Manatee, like, like he's a little Manatee with little hands and it's a belly is an arm rest like a Simpsons character.He really does do it. It's kind of scary. It's like, uh, it said little bit, you said you were going to drive with us and we were still waiting on that. Hey, it'd be better if he went withHow about this? Cause I was thinking about it. I'm like, I think you should give, asked him on all access pass to your life, big lap to document it for time. . I would say let's do it because I liked the idea, dude. I'm telling you right now. See the movie where you need gas money. I don't need Jack shit. I am self I'm.Self-made super motherfucker. Let me tell you something. Leprosy the movie. You asked your question and then I let get the movie comments done. And now we are, we're sharing the movie. Okay. Share it. But I'm telling you right now, Esteban, I'm telling you this guy right here is one. Here's some wonder to build one in a zillion.That means that means that it's so weird. You know what? I'm going to tell you. This is my personal feeling. The reason why you listen, the reason why you're able to make the mistakes that you've made in your life is partially because somehow you have the blessing of, of charisma. Like people like you, they really like you.And everybody wants to see you do well. And it gives you a lot of room to make mistakes, bro. And you got big ass bumpers and you need this finally capitalize on it and finally respected. what would you make you feel? Who you make you feel that I'm not respecting myself doing what I know what to do? Well, we just talked about fucking tools.They're not sharp. So I'm taking advice. I got calling people love, like, and then my sponsor says you did the wrong call. You're supposed to cover it for you already. I was already loaded in my head. Way before I put any type of dope in me. I know you're not a psychiatrist. I am actuallyoh, I actually am. But, but, but let me just say something to you big for real, and this is on the real, all the joking aside and everything. I'm going to tell you for real, for me, and this is not really for everybody else, because I truly believe everybody's sobriety journey really is a particular eyes special onto themselves.Okay. I'm really serious about that. But I will say this, the one thing that seemed to things that seemed to give me longterm sobriety, I'll let, I'll let that pass is. Yeah, it's what it is, but here's the deal one. I made a decision in my heart that like, you know what, if I die sober, but I'm never financially celebrity, whatever successful in my life.That's still a success. Of course. Don't say, of course to me, brother just don't do it. No, no, no, no. Just listen to just take it in. Can you take something in for watch, besides, besides what we both know you took in when at one time we went crazy last time. All right, so that's one. Thank you. So, oh, I'm sorry.Just, it's not, it's not exciting enough for you, my friend, maybe if you listened, you be in a different situation right now. Robin asked me, I'm not asking you anything right now. I remember the situation I needed to be. Right. But I'm just trying to tell you the truth. One is it's a success. If I don't pick up and die and two, I don't pick up, I don't care about what's going on in my life.You can say whatever you want from your position, you are arguing. But are you humble enough? Don't give me that. Look, let me hear if I'm humble or enough, are you humble enough to actually take advice? That's destined to help you? That's why I'm here. Is that why you're here? I know you got, cause look, I asked Yvonne that man's is success.Look at us. He's in a success or role. Do you get him fucking no, I didn't say about I'm sorry. Can I talk to myself? Is that cool? You, I mean like all the DMS that I've been getting on you lately, but I'm used to being hated, bro. I don't even worry. I'm like, would you like being hated? Don't try to distract.Try to distract. I'm just saying, well, we've tried to talk to you and you got something specials. All I was trying to tell you, that's where I get a loaner because I always have all the answers that don't get me. No. Well, you know what I think too, I think too is like, you know, that you know, that people like a stamp on it taking ETA that dude take your time to shoot the, uh, your, your, you know, do the trailer on you and get you out there with your writing and bring you in the car, all that stuff.And then, uh, you know, people set up shit. And then when you give, when you go to decide to go get loaded, now, how about some kid going to be taking you? Don't be, you don't be thinking about what that man did. He's trying to set you up to win. And when you do that, it's that fuck. Cause we need you to feel like you're so far in this fucking thing, that you're part of the team now, so that time's going to come and you don't need to go out on the fourth floor.We need you in have everybody in a certain way. I'm not just sitting there, consider myself, have we all like, really realize in your own thinking that that to care for others and to care for yourself to maybe like somebody like got at me and they're like, you need to stop fucking caring for others and start caring for yourself or that this was talk.That's probably the case for you. Since you were 16 years old, he should've been . I only give a fuck about nobody. Yeah. You got to take care of, first of all, let's not get, let's not get killed. I'm saying let's not, let's not get confused on DMS from people they live in your life. Let, let the truth of the matter is is that you sh you have gifts that you should take seriously.And you're not, that's all I'm saying, right? That's really what I'm saying. You're not taking yourself. You're doing is. The pupil, right. It's fucking with people. Right. But, but, but see, but, but, but the issue is, and that's true, but, but let man, I'm talking about, when I talk to you sometimes when I'm being real, I can see that there's a wall where it's not getting through, I've taken this wall down and that's made me the reason why that I know my runner ability to the things that I could be comfortable and get away.One more time. I don't like living like that. I can't lay my head down at night knowing that I'm, you know, lying to motherfuckers and playing the part or you keep shaking them moving, man, I man, yes. Because a big luck, big Lux knows big Lux knows the shoe grind store. And he knows the whole thing. I'm not just saying, I'm honestly telling you that until you take your, with the bullshit.It's bullshit, bro. Yeah, man. Like, like yeah. Well you got to go, well guess what time? Once again, Smitty, you didn't get a shot. Listen. Big lap. My daughter's got ballet and she's got some great I'm going to come home. I love you. Big lap. I love you. And listen. Let's, let's pray for big love right now, dear God, dear Lord, dear Lord, dear Lord, who is in heaven please?No, no, no, no, no. Listen, we're going to pray for you. We're going to pray for you. This is a sincere yes. Can I pray, dear Jesus, please help. And I mean this from the bottom of my heart, with all my energy. Please help. Esteban Oriel get a beer commercial, just like Mr. Cartoon, but like no Corona. No, no, no. But seriously, I prepped for you big lip on many, many, many, many, many, many positive energies to you.Big lab, as much as I like to joke and tease you, the truth is is that deep, deep down. I really believe that yes, something and you've already given a lot to the world and I hope that you can be open-minded and I hope people look out for you. And I hope that God puts his energy around you. And I hope that you can honestly face the truth in your heart.And I hope you can let yourself step up and be the adult man that you were destined to be not the boy, not the kid, not the jokester. The man, not just for you. But for everyone in your life that looks up to you and takes their instruction from what you do is so important. My brother. And so with that, I hope that whatever the universal powers are, they propel you on your way to success and positivity.Now, with that being said, I love you luck. Thank you guys. April 20th.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, you've tuned into the greatest show on earth. It's the hard luck show coming at you from the people. He's a family center in the city of Santa Monica, sitting across from me is my co-hostto Mohan Bowen, a married Southern California, elegant by Barry. Yeah.Roll up your weed, drink your liquor. Come on. I'm going to tell the story much quicker. Any particular surface, the pan lands on, on sound, old blue eyes himself. Yeah, buddy Sean Lewis certified audio professional.when a plan comes together,check that guy that guy's still you shop that's 18 baby. Um, and the most extraordinary showrunner of them all Mr. Ryan shores. Yep. Hey.Schwartz morning guys, fellows. I'm trying, man, trying, you're trying you're doingis being handled Ali Baba and theUh, you already know what it is. All you on the visuals go, you know what I'll eat. That's the first time I saw you trying to do shit. He was, he was doing stick this time now, you know, it's funny. And somehow that made it not asking, right? Yeah. I just had a warmup. Yeah. Good. All right, good. You're doing cut on it.You're doing look at his face. Ali. Do you like those? Just spin on it with the women's spin on a Dick. Fuck. No comment. exactly what not to go. What road to go down. I ain't even go in there. He didn't deny it. He saidthat's the worst. I was like that, bro. You really lost it on that one. Nice. Okay. Let's do it. Sean's looking at me like where do we go from here? Motherfucker. Do something, motherfucker. What the fuck? I love awkward silence. I do too. It's so it's so. It's something people try to avoid. Like they try to move away from it.All right. Uh, shorts what's on tap. What are we doing? You're in charge of, you know, we can roll it out with the, uh, world war two. And the Eddie Carter that you were telling me about was that the gentleman's name? That Carter Eddie Carter. Yeah. That isn't related to Jimmy. No, but this guy is, his story is amazing too.Mom gave me a little, a little, a preview of it and uh, fucking blew my mind. Hey, um, so, so the really start this out really is to talk about black history month. That's what February is, right? Yup. Ollie, why don't you get on his mic, man? I do consider yourself African-American yeah, he does. He does. All right.So Ali, uh, is black history month. What do you understand about black? Sit down my brother. What do you understand about black history man? A month? It's time to celebrate a culture that has been suppressed from the get go. So it's a time for people who are in color to embrace who they are and be happy in their skin and not try to be any other race.Just like, be happy that you're you. But like, it would be cool if like everyone had their own month to celebrate. Like, I don't want to be like, oh, like just take all the shine. Like everyone should have that opportunity. Hey Ali, do you know how black history month got started? Can you just let me know?Okay. Uh, does anybody actually have any idea how black history month even got stuff? Schwartz and shaking his head, Sean. I mean, do you so black history month? Cause I, I didn't know. I looked it up because I wanted to know. Cause it seems like it feels like you just have these sort of politically quote unquote correct holidays that it seemed like the government put out to try to keep everybody cool and like not pissed off.Right. So I looked it up and it's not that in fact, what it is is black history month started out as black history week and black history week started because a guy who was black African-American went to Harvard. Wooden is his last. Wouldn't and he discovered in all the history books at Harvard that know nothing about black Americans contribution to this country history, anything was in any of the textbooks at Harvard.What year is this? We're talking like 19, early 1900. Right? So he's sitting there and he's thinking, and he starts the first, like African-American academic journal from Harvard. Right. And it's like, he reads through the history books and we're talking college level zero, mention about African-Americans contribution to history.And so he says, fuck it. And he said, we're going to start black history week. Now there had already been before the 19 hundreds, a tradition in the African-American community to celebrate, to celebrate the first week in February already. Does anybody know why? No, because. Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln both had birthdays in that first week.I think a Frederick, I think Frederick Douglas is Valentine's day 14th and what? No, no. I thought Lincoln's was like the 13th or something. It's like the eighth, I believe. Right. So African-Americans were like, that was a major change in our situation. It wasn't fixed. Right. But it was. So that week eventually right.Turned into an entire month as, as more and more folks started to push the idea and the whole cause of it was because, um, only one history was shining at the time of that white history. Well, two things about what you said is one, how many African-Americans were at Harvard or at any of the big universities at that time?That could even point out, oh shit. There's nothing in here. Black contribution to this country. Um, and so I think it's amazing that he did that, but also too, I think it's important for people to know it. Wasn't given black history month. Wasn't given out, you hear all these, maybe it's urban legend, like, okay, it's black history month because it's the shortest month in the year, right?That's a, that's a common joke in the comedy circles. Right. And the truth of the matter is, is it, and this is what really gets fucked up in these situations. Is that the common culture, common sense people, right. They think like, oh, this was dispensed from the government. Right. And it was dispensed out of some feeling of obligation to keep black and it's bullshit.Right, right. It was picked because Abraham Lincoln who fucking defeated the entire south and Emmy murdered motherfuckers, that's really what I wind up when grant did that March to the. Right. He burned crops, salted the earth and it was, it was to break the back of the Southern fuck faces. And I love the south, but I'm also saying a lot of those motherfuckers wanted to keep slavery and place.He's the reason why, uh, blacks, at least slavery ended right now. Frederick Douglas. I mean, dude, none of us talked about Frederick Douglas, that dude was born a slave and he tricked white people into teaching them English. He tricked him into teaching them how to read and write when it was illegal for black people, illegal for black people to read or write.And the whole reason is they didn't want black people reading because if they read, then they would read the Bible. Then they read about the Jews who fucking broke out of slavery. And that might lead to us losing a fucking dope ass system. This is American history. And that's the pur and that's the next, that's the next phase though, is that there's a movement like Morgan Freeman and other folks have said, well, I don't want to call it black history because it's really American history.It is American history. Yeah. It's not black history. The problem is is that if you do. Privilege that piece. It won't be acknowledged. It won't be acknowledged. That's the part that, that a lot of these conservative whites gloss over, that's the hidden power structure behind this dialogue. First, as soon as you say black, it goes into a certain column.Right. But the problem is, is if you don't say black, then the P goes into no column and it goes into zero column. Right. Uh, you would hear people, so that's kind of, you would hear people like, oh, well, black history month and why, why isn't there a white history month? Why isn't there, whatever. And you know, the argument and it's true that if you didn't have that, it wouldn't be at all.And like every other month is white history month or American history month without the inclusion of the African-American contribution. So then how does that, how do you think that plays into American when they are talking about just American history? They have the slaughter of the. And that's just American history.It, that is American history and it should be American history. And then you also have to go in. And so this is what I think personally, I think that it should be approached from, uh, from the angle of a disciplinary angle. For instance, if you were to say the history of automobiles, right. Or the history of gambling or the history of song or the history of America, right.All of that would fit under America, but it's still a category, but it doesn't mean that just because you put it into the category, it's separate and apart from America. Right. So if you said, I want to study heavy. Right. You wouldn't necessarily approach it and say, well, don't call it heavy metal. Cause now you're separating it from music.You would already understand that that's a subcategory of the general category of music. So in this case, the general category is American history. Sub category would be African-American history because you need that kind of detailed study in that little branch of the history in order to bring all those details to life.So that the general category of American history is actually more accurate, not better, not worse, accurate the true story. And so I think when you get bogged down into like the fighting about what, what should we call it and should it be the same and blah, blah, blah. I think there's a place for people to say it's American history, but then I think it makes sense from a, from a intellectual standpoint that you have to label certain things in order to feel.Uh, all of the details in order, but that's kind of what the fight is going on now. You know, a lot of Republicans and people on the right are saying, oh, we shouldn't burden our kids with the fact that there was slavery. Fuck. Or there was prejudice, all these things that, oh, you know, they're going to feel guilty or hate their country.No, they're going to have an appreciation and an understanding from where we were, where we're at now and the road that we can take to go. And you know, those same. I gotta say this. Like when I look at old pictures of slavery and read about it, and I look at the problems that I have today, it just like completely wipes out any little negative thing in my life.Like just comparing like my life to what used to be like, knowing about all that messed up stuff. It's like, it's pretty necessary to know. So you can realize like how far we came and like, damn like life ain't that bad. Like it could be a lot worse. I know about that stuff. You gotta know about it because you got to know it could be worse.You got to know about it, that what people consider golden ages of history, where actually rife with complete violence and injustice so that you don't get some fake ass idea that like, oh, it was all good before, you know, part of the power. People don't understand this, but in our Western thinking, we have a tendency to look back in a direction that everything was perfect.At some past point, there was a garden of Eden. There was no trouble. Adam was walking around naked, his vision was naked and they could do anything and they didn't have to work. And there was no menstruation. There was none of that. It was cool. It was. Now we live in this corrupted society and it's all fucked up.It's actually always been fucked up. That's the first point it's always been fucked up. It's always been corrupted. So in looking at that, I wanted to get that out to make sure that our audience and myself and us are aware that black history month started out because black history was not being taught.And it was only a week. And it was already a tradition of celebrating the fact that Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas, right, were people who really advanced. I mean, you can talk all the bullshit you want. You can fucking say all this other stuff. Those are two guys that put their asses on the line.To advance a cause or a people in this country. And, and, and so I think that piece of it is super important and to really the politics of it should be taken out. There should be no question on, in anyone's plate that, uh, the true history of America should be taught to the citizens who are gonna inherit this country.Frederick Douglas, you said he tricked the wipey. Wouldn't teaching him how to read and white. So what did he do with that to help both by being, oh, so he didn't make black history month, but he did was he eventually got himself out of slavery at a time when slavery was still there and traveled through Europe and became emblematic of a guy that showed that African-Americans even see, this is the part that really hurts motherfuckers that are weak.Frederick Douglas showed. You can say, I'm not a man. And you can say that I'm not human and you can put me in jail. But through my own intellect, owls, outsmart you, and I'll make all pain. I'll get myself paid out of this thing. And I'll go on speaking tours throughout Europe and America as a free man.Yeah, he was the, I, I would say during that time, probably the most prominent and respected African-American, um, men, he came out of slavery. Think about, think about being you talk in this country. We all make a big hoopla about being a self-made man. People fucking waxed, you know, Elon Musk's car, because he was like, ah, I, I slept on beanbags and coded all night.Think about Frederick Douglas, what he had to overcome in terms of what he was labeled. The rules were all against him to eventually get to a place where he was free and was able to come and go and places. So Frederick D we could do an entire show. Frederick. Oh, that guy was a real hero. An American hero.I think we should for black history month, I think during this month let's let's do one. I'll do it. I'll do it. You could imagine how crazy it would be if he was living in this time period, like how he would be able to finesse. Cause like that knowledge he has, like, you can't take that away from him. Like when you said like, when you put chains on me, you calling whatever, like you can't change.Like my mom's. Yeah. But, but, but, but hold on a second. All right, but hold on. You're right. But I think a Frederick Douglas came here today. He'd be very disappointed. Oh yeah. Because nobody's working as hard as he did. That's exactly right. That's exactly fucking right. And like you're right. He. W figured out where the freedom is, it's in the mind, but our generations of folks have been so brainwashed by companies like apple, Microsoft fucking Coca-Cola, all these jerk-off companies, Nike, right?That they no longer are free in their mind. You're free in your body. You ain't free in your mind. Oh, like they are brainwashed to consume brainwashed, to consume meaningless jobs, create a meaningless life, which creates people a desire to buy meaningless junk. Meaningless junk to fill a hole in themselves because they haven't developed their mind.And that's where our society is today. And that's why you got all these fucking idiots that they're not genuinely idiots. Like they have the capacity to think, but they're just under so much layers of bullshit that they're so confused that they would try to overthrow their own country and smear feces in their own Congress and then act like it didn't happen.Right. Oh, you talking about like this government? Fuck. That's right. So now that we've hit that point, I want to turn now to write the project here where my, my, my desire here and talking about, um, the African-American contribution to the American project, the American dream, the American home, the American goal, the American success, and one of the things that, um, I want it to do is also connected to Los Angeles.Right. Okay. And I wanted to talk about somebody called Eddie Carter. Nope. Eddie Carter. And in relation to Jimmy Carter, none. What was his, um, ranking by the time that he was done? Was he like a Sergeant? What do you know? Yeah. But by the time that he was, well, this is a good question to ask. Cause I can tell you this, he made it to Sergeant, but he had to give up those stripes.Oh yeah. That's right. So Eddie Carter, his dad, um, was from LA and he was like, um, like, uh, like a, a preacher, right. One of these preachers and he went to, and we're talking like, you know, 1908 or 1910, like around that time, his dad, a black man. Think about that. Right. Went to India to convert Hindus into Christianity.Christian man, they're going everywhere, fucking way team. They're trying to increase their numbers big and uh, I'll sign anybody up. Border will kill you. Right. And so he was up there and he married an Indian woman, I think, here in LA. And that's why they went to India together. And Eddie Carter's mother was from India and his dad was, um, a black dude from LA and they went there.And, uh, and, and when you went to India back then, right, you had to like take a fucking boat. It was no like massive thing. Right? So they stopped at Hong Kong and all this other stuff now really think about an African-American dude, an adult from LA at that time, seeing like Hong Kong and Singapore and Ryan goon and all this shit, it was pretty way out there.They got to India, they set up shop. And the thing of it was, was that for whatever reason, this young Eddie Carter had, was always drawn to the middle of. Um, and in India he said he was visited by a spirit that told them if you, you will become a great warrior. And for whatever reason, when he was like 14, that stuck with him and in India, right.Eddie's his mom ran off with another dude and they took the church money. Oh. So imagine that God damn. Fraud's not, but not the dad. Wasn't okay. Okay. The dad was, it was a die. I mean, this dude would pray and praying all this other shit. Right. And then one day, one of his buddies and his wife just disappeared with the church.Kitty, Tammy Faye ran off with the bag. And I mean, imagine what, how that would make you feel. You're Eddie Carter. You're in India, right? You don't know anybody, your mom's gone now. It's just you and your dad and your kids. It's a fun. Think about that. So, so, so start. So they, they lose all their thing. They try their luck and China, the dad goes to China with Eddie, everybody that goes to China with Eddie and they start up the holy roller shit over there.Cause you know, just like you said, Christians are trying to sign up mothers, right? When they're trying to sign up the Chinese, there was already a lot of white Christian dudes over there. Right. But get a load of this, the Chinese hated white people. You imagine that Steve, why would the Chinese around that time hate white motherfuckers?Cause they were. Pretty much making them go railroads. Yeah. I love you, Steve. I can see right then and there dude, you're like a master of like, I'm gonna throw out an answer. That's correct. Probably in some way, I'm just going to be general enough. Cause they were listen. Why people enslaved a lot of different kinds of people.So if I just say enslaved them, that's probably right. That's a good reason. I can just imagine you in high school brother, I could just see you being like, because they were bad. Well, yes and yeah, no, because of the British and the opium trade got their fucking old country strung out on fucking heroin and then started fucking buying it and doing that, you can make them buy it from all that shit.Do this horrible. What was that called though? The heroin, the Hong Kong or something heroin thing or it was the opium wars. Yeah. So think about that. So, so, so you're hating them at a deep level. Yeah, it's just strung out their whole country. Do they do the pusher? The pusher man was the British kingdom and the queen and she rugged went over there and said, you know what, try this little powder and then got them all hooked up on it.And it's, it's it's England bull that story. When I read that, I was like, God damn. Why is it that that level of evilness comes out of England? Like that, man, what the fuck is that, man? My blink of a shit about nobody up some themselves. They still bro. They still don't. I was just having dinner with that client.He's a, he's a pro he was, he's a retired university president with a lot of connections and shit. He was laying some stories out to me about the British Royals. Oh man, bro. No, no blame. No Blaine. So, so, so, so, but, so, so at that time, right there was like white Christians doing missionary work over there.Right. But the Chinese were like cock block and I'm like, nah, motherfucker, no, we dealt with you before. And we got all fucked up. We ain't going to deal with you now, but Eddie's dad was a black man and the Chinese embraced him. It didn't matter that he was married. I mean, it was his, he was as far from white as possible.So embraced it. Anybody was also American. Right. And this is right around the time that like chairman Mao in and, um, check hi shack where we're clashing about who's going to control, China's going to be communism or is it going to be now American back? Uh Sheck is he going to be right? And the Americans were actually putting a lot of money and energy and in part of the American push, when they saw that Eddie Carter's day.Hat's it was getting some fucking purchase with these fucking, uh, the, with the, the American back Chinese folks, all of a sudden Eddie Eddie's father's dad was able to get his hold of a publishing and the printing press. Next thing you know, they're floating out all that fucking propaganda through Eddie's that now that his dad became close with check, I check and the women is so close.In fact that when that dude's daughter got deathly ill with the fucking typhoid Eddie's dad was praying over the daughter and she miraculously healed. And as a result shack and his crew became converted to Christianity. Schwartz's shorts. Tell us you shaking your hand. You got the cynical scowl. What was that about?No, it's like they, they had, uh, they had some little bit of proof and they fucking ran with it. It was like, man, you performed a mirror. Yeah. So do they Buddhist, do you know what they were to switch over? What type of religion they worked this before? They weren't Buddhist. They were something akin to, I think Confucianism.Okay. All right. And there was a lot of like veneration and it was not Buddhist. And I think the maturation, yeah. Like respect to the ancestors, all that shit you see in those Disney fucking Chinese ones where it's like borderline racist, but are they supporting it or is it racist? And they're like black and incense and then goes to the ancestors, come out and sing some fucked up song.And you're like, I don't know if this might be racist. So all of that. But Eddie Carter, the young man was in military schools in China during that time. And because of the connections, uh, he got into the military to fight against Mao in the early days. And his dad flipped out because the tensions were growing.It was clear that something was going to happen and they were struggling over. Who's going to control China. And so his dad with his connections got his son out early and they moved back to LA. That's crazy. I didn't. So he was like a part of the Chinese military, basically. That's even crazier. Yes. Think about that.That's fucking nuts right now. This is him wanting to fucking, I don't know, what's up with dudes that lost their moms from some shit, but you, you like, you want to get discipline and military, you want join shit and fight shit. And, and young Eddie was already and he could already speak Chinese. He could already speak Hindu.Right? He's like 15, 16. And he's like out there carrying rifles in the Chinese army, fucking throwing down in a fight. That's not even his battle. Cause that's how bad he wanted to fucking fight. He was a soldier through and through. Go back to LA. Right. And all of this is a precursor and leading up to Japan, coming down and starting to take over China, which it did.Right. All right. But Nan king, look it up. Then you go there, all that shit up. Look it up. So all that's kind of bubbling now at this time, this is pre-World war two, right? When now we're getting into pre-World war II and for the first four years of shit that the Nazis were doing, right. Or maybe even five, the United States was like, man, we ain't getting involved.I mean, you know, you're killing Jews over there. All right. Just as long as you pay us and you window down or nah, we're not gonna, you know, and who was it? Which was, um, God, I wanna think it was for. Pushing around that children as ion or the Zionist stuff. Remember Ford was like passing around that anti-Semitic fucking propaganda book called the elders of Zion, which was a total fraud.Right. All right. So, so pre w YouTube America, right? Pre W2. I love watching Steve shakers. So pre WWT bullying me the fucking Connecticut white people did not give a shit about the Jews at all. And at this time though, there was a guy named Franco, which country was Franco in? I don't know Spain. Oh dude. I just guessed it was Franco.Franco was addicted. In Spain. And he was taking over Spain. There was something called the Spanish civil war. Now just like the time that's happening right now, there was something called there was fascist breaking out all over Europe. You had Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, right. And some people have said, it's part of an echo that comes out of the depression, the depression, economic situation set up the perfect circumstances for these dictators to come in and use fascia a dream that's right, right.And blame blame. Right. Right. Okay. That's the biggest thing they need to have. Now. This is, what's so special. Now this is, what's so special about Eddie Carter Jr. When Franco in the Spanish civil war was going on, now you might know, right. There's a lot of, um, Books, you know, uh, you know, um, Hemingway, you know, all of that, there was a rider tradition in America that got involved in the Spanish civil war on the side of the antifascists right.Antifa and motherfucking Tiefer that's Antifa antifascist against the spread of it. And it's not even in America it's way over there, but the danger was so real and they knew it was such an evil thing. This fucking fascism that Americans fat ass Americans, red blooded Americans who had no dog in that fight.We're like, I'm going to sign up and volunteer and go fight in that war. And one of those folks was Eddie Carter Jr. Right. Eddie Carter. And there was something called the Abraham Lincoln brigade in the Spanish civil war. Which is a group of Americans of all stripes, Jewish, black, white, gay, straight BI curious, right.Allied questioning all of those types, going to Spain to fight against the fascists. And Eddie Carter was one of them. And I mean, that dude, when he showed up, have most of the people that showed up over there with were nut Knicks, like idiots that had never had any military training. Eddie Carter had already been in military schools and already fought in the Chinese war.So when they sent him, he was training guys over there. Okay. So this was official, like what branch of the military did he sign up for here in this country? This is unofficial. The government was so hands off. Well, when the government gave you a passport for Europe, the stamp said, this is not valid to go to Spain because they didn't want anyone interfering with Franco's takeover of Spain.And so these people were. Um, the Abraham Lincoln brigade would, um, smuggled themselves through the pier and ease into Spain through a back route. And like Eddie Carter was one of those dudes and Eddie Carter fought. He killed, he got captured. There you go. Hood hood every quarterfor duty, sir, reporting for duty. So he's there. Right? And in fact, I'm going to play you something. This is back when racism, when fascism was something that people of all different creeds believed in. Even Woody Guthrie wrote a song about the Abraham Lincoln brigade. Oh, wow. And let's see if I can find it right here.It's called, it's called valley. And it's about the valley in Spain where the Abraham Lincoln brigade fought against the fascists. Just, just, just, just to give you an idea.there's a valley and Spain called her on, uh, it's a place that we all know so well, it was there that we fought against the flashes. We saw peaceful valley turned to him. That's an issue we'll put you on to that song myself. Oh, really? Well, cause I know you played that song that your dad had, uh, by his son by our low.And so I didn't know if he was just a fan of the Guthrie's my dad was, but he never played that one. Right. But it came up when I was looking into the Abraham Lincoln brigade, I didn't realize that Woody Guthrie had like, written about. And Eddie Carter had actually fought in it.

He's he's gotten himself all the way over there. He can speak German. He can speak Chinese. He can speak English and he can speak Hindu. And he's over there in Spain with a rifle, with a w as a volunteer, not getting paid. Anything. How old is he at this time?Approximately? He's like 18. 19. So he's fresh. Yeah, but he's already got a lot of experience fighting in the valleys. Sean, what do you, what, in terms of thinking about what Woody Guthrie represents as part of like an audience, what do you think about that at a time that, that Woody Guthrie was singing about fighting fascists in back then?And in that 20 way, what do I think about him singing in that way? Yeah. And like, what are you, I mean, to me, it blew my mind that there were these songs that were against fascists circulating around in the music industry back then, that's the first I've ever heard of it. Right. Victim music was so much more culturally relevant and impactful.That was, it's more connected to like a folk music. It does sound like, it felt like country foci. Right. Right. But that's kind of interesting to me, I guess what I'm saying is, is like, where's our correlate for that today. None, there really isn't a record, like some sort of record taking musical output, right?Like where does Cardi B represent or she, can she pull back and talk about, you know, the great, uh, you know, recession? Cause she talked about, you know, things that have politically happened, right. Or even like a, yeah. Some sort of like, I dunno conflict. Yeah. No, she doesn't talk about that, but she will talk about some wet ass.Sure sure. There's no coffee. There is no conflict conflict with that. You know what I'm saying? Even the weekend, I liked the weekends beats and everything, but where is, where is the correlate to Woody? Guthrie's singing about the Abraham Lincoln brigade about volunteers in another country from America fighting for fascism.The, the, well, the only the surprisingly enough in, um, some underground hip hop, some conscious hip hop, you will get people really intelligent MCs covering historical and speaking about, um, those, those issues or the history of things. So I really do the only correlation that I can see. I think that that does exist.And I think. Um, to our detriment, they're not the gatekeepers and when they still act like there's no gatekeepers now because of the internet, but they're still gatekeepers. Those gatekeepers are keeping those voices down. Sure. That's not it. That will never be popular music that's given to the masses.All that shit is the same thing. Y you know, talking about dumbing down or keeping people uninformed and uneducated. I mean, the find the rules hiding the fucking right, right. Think about like Trump, you going, I mean, our president of the United States able to have a platform dig, say Antifa is full of fucking villains and criminals, but then, you know, 80 years ago, there's a guy with a guitar and a record.And he's talking about fighting fascism color, color, style era, regardless. It doesn't matter. Irrelevant. How far have we fallen? And drifted, right? It goes back to when we're talking to Ali about how the history is not really being taught. So Eddie Carter's over there. Eventually he gets captured by Franco's forces and he escapes from military prison.Excuse nuts. Unbelievable. Gets back to the United States. And whenAmerica enters world war II, he's ready to rock. He's ready to rock. So he signs up. Where's my fucking drums.Yup. Edward Carter reporting for duty and the, what did the army do? They said, yes, black man come under the army, but we have segregation in the army. Alright, no different than it is out here. Don't take, you're joining the army and you don't get no fucking, uh, you don't get no metals around here. You got here.Listen to you guys. All right. You're telling out right now, listen, this is what we're going to do. We're going to create a black army and the black army. You're going to be allowed to carry stuff, cook stuff, take stuff off the ships and that's it. You can do the service work. How's that? How's that sound is that good?This is good. A uniform you liked that you liked it, right? And the wagon. Right. They're all going to carry the guns because we don't want any black people carrying guns because we know what we did. And we're afraid that when we're sleeping, you might fucking turn around and shoot us. We don't think you're going to be loyal because we weren't loyal to you.So for a lot, for the most of the world war, uh, and a lot of African-Americans did join the army and, and whatever else, but they were relegated to service roles and, and that pissed, uh, Eddie Carter off. But, but that was the reality of the day. So he was in it and he was a cook and he rose to the level of a Sergeant to, as a Sergeant of a black outfit in the army.Now, at this point, I need to pivot in world war II. I got a fucking pivot. All right, Mr. Mrs. Turn to the side, right? Because I'm going to switch and give you some background to get explained what? Cause we haven't even got to the amazing part of yet everything we just talked about was just kind of like leading up.Yeah. Okay. So in world war two, what was in, I don't know who I should throw this to. Maybe I'll throw this to oh, blue eyes. Oh, blue eyes. What was the major first entry of the Americans into world war II, Eastern theater of operations. It was not the big band swing dance phase. What was it? What was there?What was the big entry? What was the big Tudou the hoopla as it were my good man of American entry into Eastern theater of operations. And it looks like a IP dog right. D day. And what's do they short it's when we stormed the beaches of Normandy and, um, went fucking straight up in the, in the belly of the beast coming right into the, the Nazis Lux. Why did they call it D day? I don't know, because they couldn't think of anything else. So they called it day day, and they shortened it to D day.That's the true story of why it's called D day fucking, they couldn't think of anything else at the time. And I was like, fuck it. We'll just call it D for day D day. And that's it. Nothing special. And what happened is that the American and the British storm to beat. The first group of, in everyone saw saving private Ryan, right?Everybody got cut down, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But it was such a massive amount of numbers that eventually overwhelmed the Nazis who had fucking build all these pill boxes and shit up into the fucking cliffs and all this other shit. Right. But eventually they got overrun. Not only did they get over run.Right. And remember, soon Zhu said, when you're climbing up the mountain with your allies, hold hands. So the British and the Americans were holding hands French. Wasn't doing Jack shakes up smoking cigarettes and fucking wearing braids. They were coming up to fucking from that coast going towards Germany, which you know, and you look at a map you're like, okay.And Hitler looked at him and he's like, okay, they're coming from this angle. And that's the only place that they can come from. So blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So for six months, we kit fucking German fucking ass all over the place and all this masteries talk and fat Americans and mongrel Americans with mixed racial blood.They allow Jews and blacks in their armies. They don't know how to fight. They're weak and soft. All that shit got put to rest and Hitler was tripping. Hell. I was like, look, man, I talked to big one and we're getting our asses handed to us. And in fact, even his own generals around him were starting to be whatever.And they had actually tried to kill him in his Ravens dead. Oh no, no. His Wolf's den. They tried to kill him with a bomb that actually, because the windows were open. If the windows hadn't been open, when this, when this bomb went off from one of us, he would have killed him. Instead, the windows were open, so the compression went out and he just walked and Hitler walks out like in a days with that fucked up mustache and black face.And he's like, well, what happened? And at that point, everybody was in on the plot was like, are you all right? Oh man, what happened? How long did it take before you had them all killed? Uh, like, like a couple of weeks. I think that was, you know, the movie Valkyrie, Tom cruise. That, that was that, uh, attempt. So now you're Hitler, you sitting there on the couch, right?You got these crazy bitches rubbing your shoulder. You've got a massive headache and you're sitting and thinking to yourself, the walls are closing in the Americans and the British are coming at me. I gotta do something. I gotta do something. And so what does he do? He's like, I'm going to do, what's worked in the past.I'm going to do the offensive Nazi punch. All right into the allies, right into their line, and I'm going to punch him so hard. You're going to be knocked back all the way in a fucking Atlantic. That's what I'm going to do. And he called up right. His most trusted warlocks. And one of those was like, uh, what's like this super secret dude who had a whole plan where he dressed up as an American and his troops as Americans and infiltrated the American lines to get sabotage and fucking information.Right. And this myth freaked Americans out. They thought that there was, they, they believed that there was Nazis running around dressed like Americans talking like Americans and believe it or not a good chunk of the Nazi soldiers had studied in America. There was no problem before this war. So a lot of them knew about these different towns that a lot of our service men came from.So really shit. Yes. Ah, it think about it. So, I mean, Pennsylvania is a half of it's German. They call it Pennsylvania Dutch, but it means German. That's ridiculous. They almost break you. So, so, so, so he gets ready and he also gets all of his tanks, the Panzer divisions. Now you got to understand these Nazi tanks.They're pretty fucking ass at that point in time. Right. They've got the dope tank, but what was that? The other, the tiger tanks. So one of the things that the Nazis had on their side, because in world war one, the Nazi, not the Nazis, the Germans at that time, right. They had restrictions put on their industry that they couldn't build any more fucking war weapons.And then world war II. They got the Germans, whatever the Germans get heavily armed, it started getting nuts, right. They just lose control. And they're like, ah, y'all do things for getting high on their own fumes. Oh, they go crazy. So world war one, they're like, look, you can make stuff, but you can't make guns.And one of the guns that the Germans were making, which eventually became, who tells a country, you can make stuff, but you can't make guns in the U S right. Well, when world war one, when Germany loses, when you, when they chop your Dick off and you've got all the country standing around you and it's Europe, right?It's England, it's France. It's fucking Belgium. Right? Belgium is like right next to fucking Germany. It's like on the top of it, or maybe on the side of it, I'm going to pull up the map here and it's gone. So in that treaty, they tell you, you can't. And they got people watch sending. We were telling Saddam like no more, fuck you, no motherfucking chemical weapon.You go to war and you, and there is a not complete annihilation. There's an actual, like lay down of arms and they sign a treaty to end the hostilities. They actually, you, you set the terms. Yeah. Right. And you also set some embargoes like, well, we're not going to give what we're not delivering led to Germany after world war one, because those fuckers went crazy, super chill with it.But they had this gun that was an anti-aircraft gun called the 88 millimeter. And it's like a huge ass motherfucking gun. And we're talking like, yeah, it's twice. It's two double, a 44caliber, 88 millimeter is that that's a caliber where it's different. Who are you telling short 88 instead of 44. But this thing is, is so big. This gun is so big. It's what they use against aircraft. And the Germans after world war one were able to use their Swiss connection to keep working on it and refining it.Right? So fucking loophole. So they were like, yo y'all know, we're not making the gun. And they don't know. We're just making cuckoo clocks in Switzerland. We're just ordering cuckoo clocks. So they make this giant 88 millimeter gun. This gun is probably the most impressive gun in the war in world war two for any country, including the fucking Russians.And this gun was able to punch huge ass motherfucking holes into Sherman tanks. No problem, pal done deal. And it had like, uh, a delayed fuse so that when they shot it up at the, that the flying fortresses that were coming in and Melton down. It would explode shrapnel and this huge like hundred foot arch that these planes would get hit and the people piloting them would get hit.So they weren't trying to hit one individual plane out, although they would try, they were also fucking firing the giant frag grenades into clusters of planes and knocking them all out. And dude, a lot of fucking pilots died in world war two, bombing the shit out of Germany with these flat guns, they called them flat guns at them.Now these flattens, the thing that you got to really understand about it is that they were highly mobile and whatever German fucking engineer figured it out. Instead of trying to build this massive base, they had these foldout legs. And when you see these guns, it's being pulled by, uh, And he pulled his giant gun behind it.And you could put all kinds of brush on it and fucking, and, and the guy would sit in the little fucking cradle, right. And spin these guns on you, fire them the whole thing jumps. Yes. And they, and I think the, each shell was 37 pounds, which was, they had figured out, this is how crazy these Germans are.They're like, what is the most that a man can carry by himself? And they could fire 20 of the 20 of these 37 shells in a minute. They had a whole system. They even had a special little fucking tool to list how many per minute, 20 Jesus Christ. And these were the most feared guns in the fucking war. And so eventually.They not only would shoot at the planes, but they could lower it, so it could shoot at tanks and it would punch holes in the Sherman changes to the biliterate them. Then the Germans were like, yo, you know, I've, you know, you know that, I think maybe it would be a good idea to, uh, put this gun on it on a, on a tank.And they made a tiger tank. And the millimeter armor of the tiger tank was so thick that German tanks couldn't punch through it. And these tanks would sit up and like, just face whatever the American or the burden, the British had some real fucked up tanks. Their tanks looked like their tanks look like some kind of like three-year-old with fucked up Legos made it.Oh, so all of this gets set up. Right. And, and Hitler's like, I'm gonna punch through. And now the art ENS is a piece as a mountain range that only has one road. And nobody ever expects anybody to be able to go through this mountain pass. And so the Americans, after six months of kicking ass, their supply lines got stretched.Okay. Like how are you getting fuel and all the shit to these tanks. And also their men had been depleted. So now they needed to rest. So what did they do? They arrested up in this area, in the Ardennes in the forest, did mountains of art, the gardens, and nobody expected any kind of attack. And in fact, it LER was setting up this whole situation where during the day would look like tanks are going to Russia at night, they would circle around and come back and they were building up these forces in the Arden mountains.And so they were getting ready for this massive fucking Nazi fist, right into the fucking allies and allied intelligence. Had fallen down. They didn't know that this was happening and there was men on the ground with binoculars and they were like, Hey, uh, I'd seen 500 tanks come up. And the fucking military brass was like, you must be seeing things because we don't have any reports like that.So these slim amount of fucking dudes, right? They were the ones that were going to stop the Nazi fist punch into the allies and they barely hung on, had it broken through the, the whole war would've gone differently. But the reason why it's called the battle of the bulge is because that Nazi fist made a bolt into the line of the Americans and the British once the Americans and the British were able to contain that Nazi fist then, and Hitler was almost like not going to give up.I mean, his journey, his generals are screaming in his face. Like, dude, what the fuck are you doing? As soon as it started to cave in then Patton general Patton was tasked with driving right into the German country and annihilating them. Right. Patent was patent in Montgomery and patent had a tank battalion and had been, must've been licking.His chops. Duke is waiting for Eisenhower, right when the first that Nazi first punch came through and they finally became aware of the severity of the situation. I, as in how I had all his generals and he's like massage his bald ass head. And he was like, man, huh? And he's like, what patent, how soon can you get your tanks up into the area?And Patton was like two days and Eisenhower and everybody else stopped. Patting was just being as bragging and acting stupid. And he's like, stop, you know, enough with the manly shit parenting. How, how can you really do it? Pat said two days and Patton did get his fucking people up there in two days. A member of patents, fucking tank brigades, and one of them had their patches ripped off.You borrowed a tank brigade or stole a tank brigade from another general, had the patches ripped off. And they were known as the mysterious battalion. Nobody knew who they were, but they have, they had, you know, different, weird fucks in it and shit like, and this is where you start this bastards. This is where you start getting all these myths about the fucking and they were promoting it like, oh, these were, these are guys that were in prison.It's not true. There was no like criminals in fucking world war II, five minutes to scare the Germans to get them back for that fucking, we got Nazis running around in American clothes, freaking people out. So we were like, yeah, well, we got all our prisoners that we gave them guns and told them, you kill Nazis.You win. So it's going, right. So this American fucking charge is going right to the heart of Nazi Germany in your country. You know, A couple of years before that you were talking about how the third Rock's going to last for a thousand years and given this mission, now, everyone in your country is seeing American flag tanks roll by their little fucking castle.One of the people that was in that was Eddie Carter. And how did he get there? When the battle of the bulge happened, we lost like 80,000 men and Eisenhower was like, we need resupplies. And that's when they finally decided to let black people join the fighting part of the war. They were like, It could take us like another year to get a bunch of white dudes over here.But we've got all of these brothers who are, it was born out of necessity. But when that happened, they, the generals, then the people that never wanted to integrate the army or let them have weapons were probably like, holy shit, no, you know, so, so Eddie Carter, Sergeant Eddie Carter, they said, you ready to fight?He was like, Sergeant Carter reported for duty. They go, it's cool. But you can't be Sergeant anymore because we can't have you outranking any white people. So fucking sick dude, just sick. Think about that. And you're worthy, but we're not letting you have it. He's like fucking, I'm going to go kill it. You still got to listen to the dishwasher.So Sergeant Carter was such a dedicated warrior. He was fighting fascism. He was fighting for freedom, right? He was fighting for equality, which is the principles that America claims the standard. That he was willing to demote himself so he could carry a rifle for uncle Sam and I did true American Patriot.Right? So he's one of the rifle men on these tank brigades and they're, they're, they're heading right to the heart of the Nazis. And he's out in the open now he's really trained well. And one of these tank brigades is going and they go towards this town called Spire. Spire is a small little town in the Rhineland.What's the Rhineland, that's the German, uh, wine country. That's the German like San Louis Obispo. Right. You know what I mean? Napa valley, Napa valley German, Napa valley, because the Rhine river goes by it. And so as a result, you've got a ton of warehouses in that area because they're storing wine and grapes and.Submachine gunfire fires at, and one of these 88 millimeter gun things fires at one of the tanks misses from one of the warehouses and the Americans fucking take cover right there. It was like, oh shit, we got shot at fucking machine guns, man. And they sit there and they get cut. So now everyone's like, what do we do?How we got it. We can't go any further on this road, but we got a timetable and that we don't know what's in those warehouses and Eddie, Eddie, Eddie Carter, volunteers to lead like five dudes to storm the warehouses and find out what the fuck is going on there. And these warehouses are on the other side.So they're in the trees, right? The Americans got up into the trees, try to figure out what's going on. There's the road, then there's nothing but about one football field of open space. And then the warehouses that's got the Germans in it. Right. And they got burp guns, which are the, those little German, M forties.Yeah. They got it. Mortar fire going off, hitting the lines. And they got somewhere around there and 88 millimeter. So Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Carter's like, all right, give me a Tommy gun. And a bunch of grenades. I got this. I was born for this. And they go, you bet, take them in with you or right behind ya. So Eddie and his dudes run right into the field.All of a sudden shots start firing out. Three of us, men are killed right off the bat and they realized the tanks. Didn't follow them into the field, near up at an observation. And we'll be right there. And they're like, well, we could just send them out and figure out where they're shooting from. Eddie Carter tells his other two guys.Go away. I got this. Eddie gets shot in the arm five times. Oh shit. And it goes down. There's a submachine gun somewhere behind one of the warehouse walls or whatever it is. He takes his phone grenade. He throws it in there, takes it, the entire machine gun nest out with one grenade. He gets back up and he's got his Tommy gun and he starts charging again.Again, he gets shot. He gets shot so hard. He gets knocked into the air. He falls down on the ground. He's been shot like six times now he's bleeding. He's shot. He's thirsty. He raises his canteen up to give himself a drink. Someone shoots it out of his hand, fucking pisses him off. He's fucking pissed. And he sits there and he's like, fuck it.And he gets up with his Tommy gun and he runs and like eight Germans come out shooting. And he kills all of them except two right shot, six times fucked up hand. Six Nazis to surrender, surrender to him, surrender to him. That's the way he throws another grenade at the mortar crew, knocks them out. He kills the mortar crew, and now I've got these two Nazis and he's like, fuck, nah.How do I any recognizes that one of the Nazis as an officer now, Carter bleeding says to himself, you know what? I speak German. If I can get these motherfuckers back to the American lines, I can find out where the rest of the German guns are up ahead and we can get there even faster. So while he's losing blood, he bugging grabs.These two Nazis uses them as human shields to go back across that open field injured. And as he's going back, two other guys come out with like pistols and they try to shoot at him. He fucking peels their caps. He's got these two guys because a fucking bad ass, bro. Finally. The 88 mortar or the ADA gun, the 88 millimeter gun dudes are like, we gotta fuck this dude up, man.So they fired a fucking 37 pound shell at him. It didn't hit him, but the fucking excuse made a, the explosion with the shrapnel shot up his legs. So he has to lean on his hostages, but because it was such a big explosion, there was a huge dusk. And Eddie Carter use that dust cloud and he would shoot. And he leaned on him and dragged their fucking punk ass.His back to the American lines. Now he's got the German and the German officer back in the Maryland lines. And now he's like, CEO's are like, Hey man, we gotta get you to the hospital. You lost, you been you're fucked up. And he was like, nah, not right now. We've got to interrogate these motherfuckers who here speaks German.None of you. I do. Okay. Hold on. And he interrogates them in German and he gets the information and he is quintessentially the linchpin to the American success in the fucking hit, Nazi, Germany and knocking out Hitler and all that other shit. Now, after all of that, they go now, will you go to the hospital?And he's like, sure, take me to the hospital. It goes to the hospital within two weeks, he's better. And he breaks out of the hospital and rejoins his fucking army and continues to fight the rest of the war and then goes back to LA. Now he goes back to LA. 'cause he's like, Hey, I'm a fucking hero. Right. I fought in world war II.We beat the fascists when he gets back to LA, he's nearly heartbroken because he's still not allowed to walk through the front door of a regular private business because he's black. It's disgusting. It's really, really discussing when you hear a story like this. That's what true American heroism patriotism.That's what it's all about. And he couldn't even have basic fucking human rights in the country that he did. Was willing to give his life for defended and, and help them be victorious. It's and you know what? This is a great story. And I think that that's one of the reasons about black history month that should, these stories should come out because so many, I didn't know about Juma is going to bring out the stories every black history month.Right. And I think it, I think it's great. I think it's a really, really great man. I, I, this is this guy, Eddie Carter, man, Eddie Carter, who wouldn't. I know this story until now. So this guy is a true American hero. Came back. Racism was not fixed back in America. He re-enlisted in the army. They made him a trainer.And in fact, Eddie Carter, they asked him to build the first national guard here in California in LA, and he built it and he trained those dudes. He's responsible for that. He doesn't get any recognition. They gave him the distinguished service cross at the time. It's the second highest. Metal you could get, but they would not give him a medal of honor because he was black.That was why they wouldn't because he was black. Right. Even though he was more deserving than probably most on it listed the color of his skin. And he was a career soldier. Okay. So he had planned on staying in the army forever. When he got back, he got a hero's welcome from the people around, but he was being surveilled by the FBI.What, Hey, now listen, a person like that. With those skills, with that knowledge, I could totally see why people in the FBI would consider him dangerous.It's disgusting, but they even put him, they took him out of the national guard. He didn't want him training anymore and black people on how to use soldier equipment. So they put them on. In Washington, where he was part of the military police and he was doing drug busts, he, and every place that he went, by the way, all of the white people that were leaders above him, loved him and respected his soldiery.He would spend an hour and a half just cleaning his equipment every day do was fucking disciplined and Ty, and he had a family yet sons. Right? And this thing about him being suspicious, grew into them, worried about the fact that he had fought in China and that may be come, might have a communist sympathy.And so when they, they, they kicked him out of being able to be in the military. And when he tried to re-enlist, he was denied. And when he tried to re-enlist and was denied, he went through every. White black, whatever to help them. And they all, everybody who knew him knew he was a solid dude and they all tried to help him and the government and the army would not give him a fair hearing and explain their reasons for not allowing him to re-enlist.He eventually was broken and bitter. He wrote letters to, uh, the presidents, Eisenhower and all those other people and said, you know, I fought for all this stuff only to come back and have it all taken when you know what fascism isn't dead, it's alive and well here in this country. And eventually he came back to LA any work the rest of his days at a tire shop and died 48 from lung cancer, Jesus Christ.And in 1996, finally right here. They contact his family and they say, we want to award him to metal on after he's gone posthumously. And it was kinda around the time that bill Clinton had gotten into some trouble. And I think he was trying to, you know, uh, I can't believe what happened. Well, that's, that's fucking sad, but think of everything he did, he died at 48 about the life span, man, 48.Yeah. I mean, I don't believe, you know what man, Eddie Carter, that's somebody who, you know, that's an American American hero hero. Thank you for your service west side LA and LA. Wow. Thank you.

I got the connection texting me right now. I'm letting him know I ain't going down.in the middle of all this, this motherfucker is like, how many do you want? How many do you need a trip? No, nothing. I got the connection. He's like, what the fuck, man? I haven't heard from you in two weeks. Like, you know, our camp, you, I don't know what it is. It's like, the way I respond is like, maybe not now, not now, but not today, but maybe not later either.Yeah, but, you know, put that on hold as a matter of fact, you know what, uh, and the dude needs some help, so I might help him. And I might not. Cause the last time I helped him, we both helped ourselves to a little bit. And you know, it was like, you know what, thank God, you know, I'm out of here by mistake.

And it's like, And death is something that I've been faced with this last few days. You know, it's like, you know, I'm, I'm the type of dude that, you know, if I, if I'm in, if I'm, if I'm doing anything, I'm doing it all the way, you know, I'm not just gonna fuck around and just go in and have a glass of Chardonnay.Yeah. You know, it's like my insight, whether or not I'm, I'm up here, like explaining anything of that nature, whether that happened or not. It's like, well, you just expressed that, that you got the connection texting you. Yeah. Well, the connection has been texting me for 58 years of my life. He might've been text texting me while I was in the fucking womb, you know?And it starts with that, you know, and then, you know, I just want to say, I thank God that I may be here today. I give all my, anything that has stayed, anything that you're going to hear today. I'm not going to get religious and I'm not going to get my, get a little bit spiritual on you. So if you're into some spirituality, spirituality, and the reasons why that I am sitting again, one more time in this seat this morning.And, uh, with the gentlemen that got me here to there, I'll just have to look at it like, oh, well, Smitty's fun to play with these fun, the crown, when he's fun to do a bunch of dumb shit with. But the fact of the matter is at the end of the day, he's also a real crazy. Yeah. You know, he got his ass over here and, you know, we're, we're, we're met with things in life that, um, that we're faced with everybody, not everybody in this room, man.I'm glad to be here. You know, I'm glad I was invited and I'm glad that I still have the opportunity to actually come and be here. Amongst all you gentlemen, not as a man, but as a true miracle in the eyes of know whatever you want to call it. You know, there's some people out there listening, you know, I got my boy, Mr.Cartoon. He might not like he approve of the word, the word God. And he might not approve of whatever, but he does the proven something that keeps him going. And that, that could be his job. It could be his whim, his wife, his children. And that's the, what things that, the important things that I needed to look at today, because I do have.That's very important to me in my life. And when I see my sons looking like they, ain't looking at me on the phone, on the little FaceTime and I see this kids eyes looking at me a little bit, like I've never seen that, right. It's I get away where I'm concerned about your dad. Like I'm a, as my mom, I'm going to turn 12 next month.And a, and I'm not that dumb. And I know you have a look on your face. Like you might be worried about something and for my son to worry about certain things today, when he's 11 years old and pinpoint shit that we could be, I'm only imagine that how would a child can pinpoint something of when they, of something that he sees in me that I'm, that I know I see in myself that he probably sees in myself and I'm just trying to figure shit out another day, but I did make it here this morning.And, uh, and I, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna take a few deep breaths, say a few little prayers because this, for the listener, I want you to know this is probably going to be, um, one of the hardest. You know, like just to be real, you know, it's like I made it and it was, um, yeah, I, I, you know, I don't want to be like, oh, well, you, you know, you face some fucking bullets and you've been dragged through the mud and you did a few, you know, you know, stairs penitentiary, you know, you've been faced with strikes, you've done this, you did that.You know, you know what the fuck to do. So like, you know, another, you know, like everybody's looking at it like, like, you know, you know, you, you're supposed to know, like, you need to just, we need to take you out in the alley and whip your ass a few times. That's how many times. You know, you need to think, you know what you're doing and you don't know what the fuck you're doing, man.Every time we leave, we, we, we put the reins in your hands to drive the horse, the horse fields off the track. And this happens time and time again. And I'm letting you know, like I'm not going to change nothing. There's only one thing I can change in that. And then if you think I'm going to change everything in a date year, two years, three years, six years, one day, two months, one more following moment.Fuck all that shit. All fucking man. But you know what? The fact of the matter is I made it here. I'm taking a lot of advice I'm doing, you know, but I'm not doing everything the way that I should be doing it. I'm doing it the way that I should be doing that guys of like this moment that I made it here and the listener that if you're out, down, I'm letting you know, man, if you're struggling, man, I get it.You know what? I'm going to let you know, you know, like, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm open game, you know, you can get at me however you want. You know, I can get it. You know what I mean? I'm still back in the community. I don't stop. You're part of the community. You never left it, but I'm, I'm here, man. And I want to thank you to everybody.Whoever requested that they haven't heard, they haven't seen. You know, it's very important to me to know that I still hold some type of a, you know, a boundary to where I could come and, and express you. But this is probably going to be the most honest expression and that I have for you today, because I'm going to honestly come to this format and let you know that, um, yeah, my shit ain't together, you know, I I'm, you know who who's in actually come up here and go, Hey, everything's great.I got, oh, I got this going on. I got, they're going to have me. Everything's cool. Everything's smooth. Everything's got, you know, right. Not on any of that bullshit. No, man. It's like, I'm here to let you know that, um, what's going on with that giants man. Giants could come to the table, man. I'm a giant, you know, I come to the table and I'm gonna let you know that there's a giant second that, that have fought this thing, man, and have battled it and have, you know, actually stood strong on their own two feet and have one.But Smitty was telling me on the, over, on the way over here, right. When we got in the car, I go, look, man, we just, this could be a little bit, it's a little different way. We're going to have to go about this. We're going to have to get in there and we're going to have to let the listener know that, um, that, uh, everything isn't always going to be, what we're going to feel it's going to be.And that's always running to come with all these things that we're going to come and see all everything's cool. Everything's all right. Sometimes everything. Isn't all right, because part of what is, what would you tell him? I ain't gonna forget cause I fucking stroke. Please try to remember what you told me.Dig deep. You said something about, uh, What would you say? I'm glad you don't remember, because I don't even want to, I don't even know if he knows where he's at right now talking about no, no, no, bro. I didn't warn you about talking about shit, bro. I just told you straight out. You said something about when somebody hits a certain time when they do a, what it starts with an R read labs, what would you say the sentence?What was the sentence when you start relapsing too much or whatever, when you, you really forgot what you said, you said it like in the way that the program states the state of like the 12. You forgot the 12 steps to, well, let me let her know. Listen, I was really thinking was going to let them with the sky was going to park God.And could you forget that? Let me ask you a question. I think I kind of understand and I'm, and I'm not going to try to be disrespectful or anything about what's going on, but that's a hard one. I know it is. And it, and you first and foremost, I want to congratulate you for coming in. Yes, I thank you for coming because I, I want to say that you know how to show roles and all that other kind of stuff.And for you to come in is really in line with the spirit of what the show is, which is honesty, right? Uh, this is the one where like the listener could go look at this poor mother fucker sitting up there and he got guys emotions like this motherfucker, we got there's people out there that will actually take that.Cause they were working on the Eagle type of thing. Well that you don't care about. Anyway. Fuck. Those people hate me, bro. Believe me. It's a lot. I want them off the show. I'm even married to this man that runs the show there. Yeah, man. But I am going to ask you, I'm going to, I'm curious about this at what point and what do you think.Caused the car to go off the rails for you. I knew that I shouldn't see, and I know you tomorrow and I knew that question was like really coming. But if like, like if I, if I, if I, if I not to complicate any, any, he like to just be simple and to come straight, I feel it was a number of things. And if we, if we could start, like, if you really like, like in the, like for the listener, like let's start with the excuses.Cause we're gonna like use excuses to, for the reasons why, like, what am I sit up here and tell you what car would never ever w w the car, what, when did it ever go off the trail? Like, so if somebody does something in a manner to where they. Defeat the purpose of what we, it is that we were taught when we come into something which could be a 12 step program.We could be a Victor outreach church or whatever it is that we want to change in ourselves. What, what is the reasons why we get to a certain point in our time and all of a sudden, just because of everything we learned, like everything that, that I learned that I was taught to do, to keep myself, to keep me from being what I believe in, which is a zero tolerance policy situation that I preached so hard and, and go drastic measures to, to like, have people believe this certain things.And, and to like fully be honest, when I hit a podium and tell people everything that I'm seeing as a truth, and then not follow up to what ex exactly. I said, it's always, what was the reason why that, that you feel that it happened? One of the reasons why I feel that I've been is because I don't like to feel any fear.And let me tell you what I did look. So anyway, I got him to this dude, man. I know you guys are very familiar with them. I watched the interview. I know he's a brother. His name is Kevin. Something. He has black something enterprises on a stomach of Kevin Gates. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. And I watched the interview with him the other night and I really like sat and I listened to this dude and everything he said, and basically this, this dude, Kevin Gates, dude, I listened to what he was saying as like those theories and all those concepts that he believed in.It like helped me for the night. Cause I needed something because something very bad was about to happen. And I was really, really, really, really. About to like, just do what I had got to a point to where I was like, this is not going to happen right now. And then it was really like, um, half of my brain was telling me, you know, that's not gonna, it's gonna happen because you're in a position to where you can just get it, let it happen.And you're going to let it happen. And I put this dude on and it prolonged anything from happening for a little while, but anyway, it kept me for a minute and I listened to him. I really listened hard, man. And it's like, It's like, I kind of feel I'm in a kind of a position. Like he has. It's like, I went through my life, he explained through the pain and the pain and all he really wants.And there's no TV in his house for a reason because all I really wanted in my life, I feel that I'm at a point in my life, but really like the question that I'm going to answer. Cause you just asked it is I feel that I feel that I have like, uh, I have not my mother, I don't have a mother. I have no mother.I have my, my father's not around. There's like having no family members. I have, I have my son and I have my, you know, my, um, my significant other, which is the, um, how would we like my mother, my son's mother, or, you know, my ex my, I would call her my ex, the mother of my son. That, that I think right there, I was pushed.I'm going to blame her, but I was pushing the direction to where I'm just doing the same thing and I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm doing what everybody tells me to do. And I keep doing that. And then I, I met with one, so something that I was, that, that dropped them. So I said, I'm going to get through this.And I, and it was in a situation to where it was kind of heavy. So I got through it and I, and I held onto it and how they got worse, you know, things just kept piling up in that area. Then I took on another thing. I added some more trains, you know, I add the cars to the train because once the train gets in, I'm the type of guy who wants to, I, once that starts to train and I get the motion, I add cars on the train.Every time I hit stop, I have. So I kept putting cars onto the train. Um, you know, and then I added another car and I thought I put the, you know, another car and I'm thinking, here's the car that's going to fulfill me and make me feel whole about myself. And that's going to fix me. And it's the car that, you know, and it's like, it could be deceiving.You know, we could look at the situation like, you know, you could look at it like everything is going one way and the cars rolling good until we hit them. When we hit a stop in the, and then the bag is empty, you know, and that baggage comes out. Now I'm rolling with an empty car, you know, uh, one time, uh, when Steve big Lux was, uh, mentoring me right.Uh, he gave me, he told me, this is what big luck said to me from on high. It came down from some, I'm just sending our next guest a message about to come back in a little while. Okay. And what he said, thank you for that. And then what he said was he said to me that. Can you, this is what big luck said. I never forgot it too.And we're talking about like 20 years ago, maybe, maybe 18 years ago. And he said to me, he said, you know, listen, he goes, listen, uh, relapsed. Okay. That doesn't happen when you pick up a relapse starts long before the pickup. And he's telling me this, and I remember being like a little fat kid and listening to that and thinking like I asked, right.So in some level I kind of follow what you're saying in the sense of like, there's a lot of cars got on it, but just like really just out of curiosity, internally for you. Right. Big thing. That might be one thing or things that may be considerable things that led you to that. Go ahead. COVID yeah. How so?Lay that out. What are believing them? Well, the paranoia from it through more with the people that was around me, where the environment I'm in, there was people that were like, like I looked at it, like if you get a, you get a, you get past it, whatever. There was a lot of. You know, I was in my environment was there's people that, that, you know, we got, you know, so there was tension.I felt like yard tension. Like the people that I was living on my side kind of put myself, like I was living in like a, in a, in a, in like when you're institutionalized, you're going to have like, you're going to have four races that don't. So with COVID, you're going to have two or three races that are looking at like people, not racist, but individuals who have a certain outlook on how, you know, it's not going to hit me, get the shot, don't get the shot, you know, and it, it was like, that was some of it and not in the first year, but as we went into the second year, it was like a little bit stressful move with me for that, I think.And also I shut down. You know, and I'm trying to, it was like, like I shared, I got to a meeting. Finally, I got to a meeting, uh, Thursday night when they go up Thursday, what'd you get over there? Listen, listen. I mean, big, big level. Why, why you're telling this really human story. I'm also watching fucking Schmidt being outsmarted by a water bond.It's going to fail. He's gotta be smarter than the lidtake it. So I told him, I told him, Hey, throw that shit up for the, for the picture. He goes, I don't know any motherfucker, any motherfucker. You got to take both his fingers and twist them in the middle of the, put the west side up. It's like take the head of the fucking and put in his brand Starbucks.People are looking at, I was like, I'm like, Hey, like what is this dude doing to his fingers? I'm trying to twist me the wrong way. That's good. That works. I can use both hands up. Hey, how come you got a neon, yellow fucking hat Carhartt. I got all that. Everybody knows that I'm different than all the other people.Oh, they know, they know you throw the DOB ups. Yeah. Yeah. He did it without the. Also my health also when I'm, um, when, uh, when this dude he had that stroke, you know, we had that health thing, a lot of listeners will know that we went through, uh, like, uh, uh, ma not medical. It's like, um, fuck, I lose these words, man.I get like this dude, it's the, yeah, well, no, not just the stroke is that I'm an unhealthy reasons. So my health was deteriorating without me admitting it. So I started noticing that I had got this stroke and that kind of like tripped me out a little bit. And then, you know, they were, you know, there's some stroke game, the bag of the Saturday when we were at the w the last time I was here, I remember he doesn't remember shit.This is not funny Schmidt. No, it ain't. No, I remember the w when I got the cane, I'm walking with the cane, like, I'm an addict. I'm going to. If my back is fucked up, I'm going to make sure I get some pain pill. Cause I'm not, you know, I'm not that far when I can maintain some pain pills cause of my back.Cause I wasn't fucking, there was one of y'all now, so I'm not going to be like, oh yeah, that's another fucking excuse. So you have some back pain, you got other pain pills. You could have taken some more junior could have done well, when you, when you start taking everything that really ain't really working, you're gonna fall back on the painkillers.So I maintain that for a minute. I did it the way I supposed to, you know, I might've, you know, like the first bottle, I mean, it's true. It does, you know, and I did, I've never taken pain pills as prescribed. That'll always, always right. I swear to God, I got to about a doctor handing them to you. Clears you of any wrongdoing, you know, like you lay on it, open it all up, man.I didn't ask to be sick. I didn't tell the doctor. Hey, let me tell you though, bro. I'm lugging. Have my teeth pulled out. Right. And the doc gave me a fucking big old canister of fucking pain pills that was supposed to last a week. They were gone in one day easily. Fuck. Yeah dude. You're like, oh, I was like, dude, I was like tripping bro.I was like pink flood. I was like, hello? And you're like looking at the thing. Oh, do my feet. My hands felt like five feet thick, almost like glom and shit. And I was happy. I was actually fucking exactly. I was actually, and it didn't work for me like that this time we worked for me this time is I got him and I tried, I actually got him with where I was, you know, in my state of wellbeing.I got him and I go, I'm going to follow directions. I'm going to be the one this time, you know, y'all, I'm going to be the one that says I'm going to do everything it says for me to do. And that happened a little bit in the beginning until like, until I got down to like 12 and I was like, okay, well I gotta add, you know, it was, I could put some more and then I got through those and then I was cool.Listen, I shook it. I was cool. You know, I'm back to normal. Everything's good. And then some. Nan. I knew that, you know, the tension like more tension came, like it hit me more with more tension, more drama, some more shit. Like, you know, this didn't happen, right. This th th the call didn't come through quick enough, the texts wasn't there.It could be a number of things like this. This happened, that happened. I think I'm going to explain another thing. So I got out lucky, lucky me and lucky know each other. Real good, man. We're real close. One time I was talking over just talking man. And he asked me a question, you know, I met him somewhere.We went you a little function. I met up and sat down with him and he got me, you, it was just sitting there. If you could read between the lines, you know, read between them. And if you can't just, just take the listener, just drive, you know, we driving the bus, right. He was getting, you know, just relax on the bus, listen to the music.So I hit lucky up. I'm like this, you know? So what's up with this. He's like, so lucky. That's all. Hey, what's up with this man? Like, he was like, how's that? How's that? How are your situations going on? I go, they going cool. This what's up. And he goes, man, you know, like, then that don't like dentists and like sound too, like, like legging, like he like knew like, and we both looked at you.I said, yeah, well, you know, I can handle it. And he goes, oh no, man, I'm going to have a motherfucker like that. Some shit like that was semi straight out. And I'm like, well, yeah, well it ain't going to send me. I can, he was on, he was, I don't know, man, you like you in that area, you need to, like, you need to back up on me.Like, you know, you a G I known you a long time and you need like, take a step back. And that's like, the more that he was telling me to take a step back, I was like, he could tell him my face. He's like, like, I know you, ain't gonna say like, you're gonna, like, when you leave out of this, after this conversation, you can like, take a step five more further.I know how you get down, bro. Like you a real motherfucker. You're gonna go. Like, if you do anything, like you do it, you go all the way, man. You go hard from the gate and. It's like, you're not just going to put, you know, two or three sugar. Like if you drink sugar in your coffee, you're not putting two or three in there.You got four, you going all the way with it. So I, and the advice that I'm giving you, man, is like, it's like, he gave me that, like, if I would've, if I was stood on that advice that day and did what I was really supposed to do it, might've still prolong whatever it is that I thought I was going to do down the line, which I, they listened to us and need to know wherever the fuck I'm at.But to really be honest with you, the listener is just that I'm letting you know, man, I'm this type of individual. If you don't know me, you don't mean, well, you research, whatever the fuck you eat. If you don't research start researching the fact that I'm not afraid of. No, I really am. I get to a point in my life when I started doing dumb shit, it starts going through my head that maybe I, um, then maybe my time's up here, you know, maybe I said enough or I did enough.And it was like, that was going through my head at early, before anything happened. It was like really going through my head, like, cause I get already visualized. Cause like I'm blessed with a gift that I can actually know where I'm going to go before I get. And I believe that I was already, some things were telling me where, and I was like, you know what, I, I know where this is going to lead.I already played the table and I knew, but I still, I'm still one of those dudes that wants to hold on. I want to just hold on, man. I want to hold on. And I want to keep trying to be a controlling individual and do anything it takes. And, and even like that, we have that conscious, you know, you have that, you have that conscious, deep down and goes, you know, this shit ain't gonna work out, but you got the problem.There's a problem. There's a piece of. That wants it to work out so badly and believes it. That's why you're doing a believes. You might be able to change it this time, but then there's the other half of you, that's telling you, you know how this goes when you're in the middle of that. Yeah. Like, because you don't like defeat, you know, like even though, you know, he wouldn't give up, no, you know, the area, like you don't know exactly what the area and you know exactly where it is, what the outcome's going to be, but then again, you don't, but you're taking about 1% and stretching that it might work.Cause dealing with you're dealing with individuals or an individual you're dealing with individuals who you kind of like, look at the situation and you want to take that chance you are taking that chance. You're fucking taking. Then you're like, well, you know what? And then if you really research and you really smart, if you really like game up and you'd like, really go in, you know, you really realize the fact that you're actually competing with somebody who is exactly identical or most.Close to what you might be going through. Well, well, you know what, I'm listening to this and I'm thinking about it. And I'm thinking like,there is a piece that I, when I'm hearing you talk, bro, there is a piece that I do wonder as lucky the father, right? What you go through because on a certain level, it's all well and good. The games we play when it's just us. Yes. Right? Yes, yes. Right? Yes. Yes. Jumaan there. It's all well and good. And, but there's another piece of this component and I want an eye and I'm curious now I'm not even curious.I'm actually hoping that something that I say goes into the category. Like this, this is more important than me. Hi, I'm Randy. And this is Dave. We're the founders of Bombus the most comfortable socks in the history of fi so comfortable.

When I was a real bro, when I was a little boy. Okay. I didn't have a mom, right? You at least had your mom. Okay. I didn't have a mom at all. What a, how was an alcoholic overweight father? For a long time, but there was a period of time that I idolized him when I was like four or five, because I didn't know everything yet.All I knew was I was real small and he was real big and I thought he was all powerful. Like, like for me, I was like, man, that's the strongest student. I was so happy that he was on my team because he was so big. He could protect me. He could protect me from what's out there. Maybe protect me from other men or a duck.And the thing is, is there came a point in time in my young Innes where I saw my dad weak. I saw him weak and it fucking broke me, bro. It broke me so hard that demand that I looked up to that I, you know, Love, like I loved him and I needed him was actually not as strong as I thought he was. And as a young man that broke me and it took a long time for me to understand everything a long time, but it was very confusing and it was disheartening.And I look at you big lap and I'm like, man, that's a big dude. That's a big why. And, and, and, and, and everybody sees you like that. A mountain. Uh, mountain that absorbed bullets, a mountain that, you know, got real close to fucking death, a mountain that doesn't care about.you know that right. We're filming. Where are you filming that camera though? I ain't tripping. Right. So when you're thinking about when you, I mean, all kinds of, and while you're talking, I got a bunch of shit, but there's people like you, you know, they want it, like I'm still, no matter what happens, I still am in that position to where I still want to do what I'm doing is I, am I got the, can they wait for a minute?I just tell them that I got, I just let him know, like, I'm not I'm doing this. Well, I guess what I'm trying to, I guess maybe enlist is a good example and I'm not trying to come down here. Maybe it's hard for you to be responsible for somebody else. Yeah. Well, at this point, yeah, at any point, at any point I just said, I just said yesterday to somebody, I cry, you know, like I got emotional with somebody yesterday.I told him and I said, listen, he, right now, I'm at a time in my life where I need to like look out for myself. And when I look out for a whole bunch of other people, but you gotta remember something too, I'm coming from a place to, to Mohan. I want you to know I'm coming from a place where I went from, from like, like a yard skid row situation shift, right into another situation through that I've been through throughout my life, like over and over and over again.Like not once, not twice, not three times, not four times. Right? Like throughout my life. And in order for me to go in there again, it's like got people. Don't like, you're not going to do it that way. We want you to do it this way. You're going to go in and sit up here and you're going to do it like this, and you're going to do it like that.You're going to do it like this. And it's like, I'm almost to the point today and I'm not going to listen. I don't give a fuck. I'm going to let you know right now. I, because I'm at a point to where like, people are like, I got people telling me we don't want that. We don't want that. We don't want that. And I'm not, and I'm not saying that I'm faced or anything or I'm taking the control, but I'm looking at everything that I have that I've accumulated.Like I get accumulated on my own. It didn't ever have no woman, nobody, nobody, but me. I accumulated that. I went to the table with it and I, and I did everything I was supposed to do. And everybody looking at it, like some bull, like you, that ain't shit, but we're willing to, like, we want to grab that from under you.And we're going to go on, on a program that we're going to set out in front of you. And that's kind of still hard for me to do because cause you like, what are you going to choose? You choose this. Or you choose to go over here and lay up here in doc. I will choose the other way to die. I listen, I understand.I'm not even going to be like, oh, I'm in here angry. Or I might be upset. I'm at the mercy of, of what, what you're saying or what everybody else around me, because I don't talk like that. I'm just telling you. This is what I'm telling you, identify with your son. You know why? Because he plays the saxophone, you know, who else played the saxophone?He did that for a week and then he got burned down. You know, who else played? The saxophone? Me, me too. Okay. And I looked at your son and I saw how happy and proud he was of you. That's the only thing I see, but I play both. He flat out on tenor. And the issue is, is as all I'm saying bigly, it's one thing to say like, oh, I can live this way or I could die that way.And it's all just me, but it really ain't man says young man, you know, we have a lot of dudes that come up through here that talk about a man wasn't in their life. And that led them to a life of crime. Of course, I have a lot of friends and in a similar situation to like, they might be my age, but they had kids later in life where you got kids, but you had more.So they're my age. And they're dealing with. Okay. I see a young man that's 12, 13, 14 years old. Right. And they're going through this shit right now. But now, currently to that, and I remind all my friends like that. I go, man, you can look at my life and use me as a perfect example. I was sober for like five years and doing it all my kids.And when I decided to relapsed Vincent was like 13. And it was the worst possible time that you disappear on a boy. But I really, really didn't wrap my head around it. I really didn't. I didn't. Then when he went to the joint, no, no, this is a, this is after this or 20, uh, 15, whatever years ago when I relapsed, after having some time I couldn't wrap my head around it.I don't know why. And I don't want to call it just plain selfishness or just. I could not stop using the pain or what I was feeling or what I was going through. There was one thing and I was after it's a solve that and I chased it and I fucking left my family, hanging my kids. And like, it's the only, even my prison terms.I don't say, oh, I wish I could redo, like, okay. But what I wish I wouldn't, the only regret I have is that I, that I left my son hanging in the most important years. What I feel of a man's life. I really did, bro. I left that kid hanging when he needed me the most. And I tell people like you and to different friends in that situation today, I'm like, bro, whatever you do wrong.Please because what you're showing him is what he's going to do. You're showing me he's going to want to do that. And I didn't understand that. And I came to find out that that was the truth man. And that what I was doing was affecting him so drastically. And I had no idea how I found that was when I found out the way you don't want to find out, or one of the ways you don't want to find out when it's already full-blown and this guy's doing exactly what I was doing.And it's like, just, I remember when I got that call, I was heartbroken in tears. My son didn't grow up like me. I didn't even grow up like me. So why is he shoving in his arm? But he was, you know, so it's, it's w you weld a lot of power, bro. We willed a lot of power, man. And sometimes we don't. Give knowledge to who's watching us, bro.Everywhere you go, people are watching you either good or bad. See your son is looking at how everybody looks at you and island. So you're at this place and your actions, man, affect everybody. But it's him. It's him that we're talking about right now, more than ever. I see. Yeah. And the thing is, is, is kids are, are super smart, right?So he's going to see you say whatever you say, and he's going to compare it to whatever else he's thinking and seeing himself. How about you say that he's going to use with you what I say, right. And he's also going to like go off of what everybody else has. Projecting also like, may it be his mother or people around or social individuals who might his, who his mother also put in her life at, uh, at the, at the time, like somebody who like you like got us, like, what do you do?I feel was like the major, like thing that dropped in my lap to where it did not set me up as it put like the motion in my head to where, like, what the fuck? Like this isn't fair. Like what, what isn't fair about it? No, you got to kick back to where it wasn't just a bunch of work. This is something that I don't need to, you know, like I'm not going to use this as, this is not going to be an excuse that I use.And I went and I wrote on that for a long time. Like, I'm not gonna do it like that. I'm not going to do it. But like I said, the cars fucking kept adding on. These cars kept adding over and over and over this man sitting next to me, he seen me, he sees me on the phone. He seen, it was like one time he looked at me.He says, well, like, what the fuck is going on? What are you doing? That's so wrong that these people kind of agree with that. You're doing like, what is it that they want? Like, what do you fucking want? Like, what do you want from me? What do you like actually want out of me? It's like, you give me, you give me all this recognition about how it's like you like, and it's also at the same time, like, like, like, like, like running a game on me, like I'm going to, like, you are not in that position because of the fact that like, uh, like where do you, how did you put me in any position?The only position you put me in. Threaten me that if I didn't do something about this, you, I was never going to see my son. And I'm stating that as that, that's the same thing that's happening. As we sit here at this moment, as I'm sitting here on the phone, I could be happening like right now, you're like, this is an ongoing process.Even when I was doing the right thing, like you're doing the right thing for so long, but yet you're getting blamed every day for not doing the right thing. And you're, you're, you're you're you have the same behaviors and you're not. And then I'm looking at this individual. Right. And I'm not going to put nobody out there, but you know, we know what the fuck.Yeah. I put you out there, you out of there. So yeah, you're doing one thing and it's not justifying whatever the fuck you're doing. Like, we're both getting looked at. You're wrong. I'm wrong. I'm right. You're wrong? Yeah. It's going to get to the point who gives a fuck? What point it gets to, where are you going to go with it?Like, where are you going to take this today? Who gives a fuck? What happened last night? Who gives a fuck? What happened 10 minutes ago? Where are you going to go? When you set up off this fucking mic and you leave up out of this door, fucking. And the tag onto that too. I think it's the affects. I ain't even give them, I feel like that a lot of people and us included myself too, are not really considering, like, we talked about the effects we have on the people around us.Right. Once you're out of it and you're out of it and you're okay, I'm gone or whatever. But, but what I'm saying is you, as you're around longer, you gain more knowledge on something. Right? Right. You see deeper. And I'm going to give you an example real quick. We'll have more in deeper. You know, I said about my son, just now, how about when my son had his son rose heartbreaker and he couldn't show up because my son's getting loaded and I'm seeing his grandson.So now every time I engage my grandson, there's a piece of what he isn't getting, what he's being cheated out of because I taught his dad how to cheat your son out of his. Right. I taught my son. This is how you leave your son hanging XY. You fuck your kid up. And so he repeats it down. That's what I'm saying.The longer I'm at another level wisdom people want to ask me, how is it that you're not doing meth right now? You're not opting to go. Cause you know what, it's not just the program where it's not that it's experiencing. And I say some shit like that when I really see what the fuck I was doing and how deep this thing can go and carry on generations of just sickness.That's what made me step back, man. Like my actions affect. as we, as we're special, we're speaking, I'm looking at you, mom valued. And I, and I feel the vibe, the vibe right now is, is that like, fuck, what are we going through? It's all about our children, man. At the end of the day, it's the most important person that I can sit here and say it is, but is it really about your fucking child when you got the fucking needle dangling out your neck?Okay. No, I think it's things to think about once we're sober to start using, to really taking an investigating look at that. And if you're not clear, I don't think if I wasn't clear on that. And as in a pause or times where I have sobriety, I started to really look at that man. And I was, and it started to change me and I didn't want to look at that stuff.I really didn't want to investigate that. And as I do, the more really become so no lap. It's I'm I'm right with you. When somebody tells me, go ahead and stop for your kid. Do that. Oh, that didn't happen. They said all this to me and I still couldn't stop. But, but, but, but all right. Yes. And I'm going to say something because as a guy that successfully stacked up 19 years off of anything, all right, sure.And there's been millions of times on this show where I've said something that, that I feel like wasn't quite listened to because people think that it's easy for me. They put me in a separate category. I got 19 years. All right. Uh, sobriety and I'll tell you something. Part of it for me was,was that, all that shit. I talked about everybody else when I was weak and being abused by alcoholics and drug. All that motherfucking righteous indignation. I had to battle why I shouldn't change. I was becoming that I was doing it. I was that person as much as I was hurt and victimized by fucking alcoholics and drug addicts, I was doing the same motherfucking thing and I was lying one of them.So what shit was I talking? So big lab. When you talk about you, ain't got your mom and you talking to them about like, oh, listen or missing the most fundamental question in anyone's life is who the fuck is calling Schmitty right now in the middle of a fucking apartment felt Schmitty. Jesus Christ. Get off the phone, man.Did you eat for big Lux to lay out for everybody to hear the generational sickness that he had an opportunity to put a, to stop, to put an end to. And we're talking about his grandson is a little boy and listen, listen, his grandson is a vulnerable, beautiful, sweet, innocent, a little boy, and big luck shows up for him now.But at the same time, big lips, he bears the pain of whatever he's feeling. So, so, so, so I understand not wanting to feel anything. I get that, bro. I, I I'll fucking eat food that not fit. So I'm saying for you big laugh. So when you say like it I'm supposed to do for me and is that going to stop it? You're right, but that's a, that's a, that's, that's a, that's a path.Everybody already knows. The question is what's it going to take for big. To allow his heart to show his son how a man is supposed to live his life. Because one day your system is going to take action. It's going to take action and footwork and doing whatever. What it's going to take for me is I don't like, like people to like, like I'm putting a position to where, where it's like, like you like, all right, I'm in a situation where I have this going, but yet you haven't seen your son.But I'm doing all these fucking things, you know, it's like, I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go. When do you want me? But then no, you're not ready to go. You look this way, you look that way you changed you. This all this fucking shit. How about when everything was like gravy, everything was cool. And I was like, doing everything, like straight as a fucking, you know, walking that line straight, everything.It was the same fucking deal, man. Let me tell you something. I'm like, how long is a motherfucker? Like, just put up with that and just sit up with that. And it's like, it gets to a point and somebody there's a boiling point. I don't give a fuck who you are. No, no, no, no. You know what? There is one point, like it's still a choice and I'll tell you something.I'm a family law lawyer. Okay. Listen, you know how many dads I've worked with? They can't see their kids because of some bullshit from the mother. Uh, you know how many it's all my fault. That's all I hear. Listen, listen, listen, this is a woman I'm not talking about it. I'm not talking about whose fault it is.Even if it is somebody else's fault, right? What's that what's that got to do with you and you're showing up may be not picking up what's that got to do. I'm trying to fucking show up and I'm not given the opportunity to show up in the, in the manner that it doesn't matter. That part, listen. No, no, no, no, no, no.It doesn't matter. No, it doesn't listen. I'm not saying it's not important. You're right. You're right. But what I'm saying is. If you die on the end of a needle, you ain't ever going to show up. That's all exactly. That's what we're getting at now. We don't like people listening, like, oh, we turning this into a relapse relation ship show each other.Let me finish the sentence. Okay. God damn. Cause we love you. We love you. That kind of finish the sentence, man. It's like, yeah. The point of the matter is to me was like, no, it's like, it's like we're with the world. I made a point like in my life right now at this minute, I'm at a point to where like I like, okay, everything is biting everything past.So I'm at a point today where I'm at. Right. And I know where I, and I know where I'm going. I know I need to get you. And I know I'm going to get there. I'm going to get there regardless of what they tell me, you tell me wherever it was. You got people shutting shit. Yeah. Like in other words, you know, you're at a point where I, yeah, you shut down, I'm going to shut you down.I got to do whatever it takes. I'm going to shut it. I'm going to shut everything down until I get to what I got to get to. Right. You don't even want to know how I woke up this morning. Come on. You don't even want to know. And it's not even good for me to put another, cause it doesn't matter because you're gonna have people.Because if I tell you, I woke up this morning by next week, everything is going to getwake up. I wake up, man. I'm not going to say nothing. I know. I know what I'm doing, bro. Look, I wake up this morning, right? I don't give a fuck because you know what? I, I stand amongst you gentlemen. Then I stand amongst you as not as a man, I stand amongst you in the eyes of a spirit man. The spirit that guides.It doesn't matter what two tells me, what, who tells me what, anything I'm guided by a fucking spirit man, a spirit that wants me to live more than it wants me to die. My mother used to tell me, Hey, you know what? The heart is, the older you get, the harder the run. You know, I believe in that. And I, in other words, these runs are getting hard and they're going to get harder.And they going to keep getting harder is what you're going to do in order to how are you going to stop or where you feel you're going to stuff. And everybody. You know, and step on a wheel always tells me, stop taking this shit out on yourself. It's sending me back in a bloke. So it's like, instead of me going over there and telling him, telling him, oh boy, you know, the other half of my woman a while, what I really feel right.If I really go over there and let them know what my feelings are. Right. You know, my feelings is either, you know, you know, what's going to happen. I'm going to be sitting. I'm going to be calling you as a lawyer to tell you like, look, I don't know why that gun went off, or I don't know why this fist went upside.Is that in back of it? You see? So if I'm putting like, like I'm going to say, what, what, what would I rather do I wait? All right. Do I go over there? Do I go over there and do this? I mentioned, you know, do I go over there and do that? No, because what's going to happen is that's going to be fiscal fast, quick, and in a hurry incarceration.And then, and then I play the tape and I'm like, then my son's going to see what type of manner I act. And that's is that enough manner to act then to, is this he's this dude doing enough? Like, so I get up my son, cause I'm still on the verge to ask my son, Hey, how's everything over there is everything cool.Like prior to investigation, is everything going good at that house is everything. And I haven't heard nothing negative with my son, but then I got the other words telling me some other shit. And then I got the dude taking me, like, come on here, I'll drive you home. Right. Let me let, let me roll. You. You, you, you were rotting.You do taking me pulling off to the side of the road, knowing that I'm injured, talking about, come on, you know, like what's up. I mean, yeah. Well what's up, you know, like, yeah. You're the one that pulled over to the side of the room and asked me to get into him. He told me he got to come about it. Yeah. It was cracking.You know, it's like, I don't play chess, but the next move is like, what's up right here. I am like, I do. I need that. That's another thing that built me to the point to where he checked us out. Like, like what the fuck. Like, all I'm trying to do is be a right individual in the eyes of whoever it is. I'm trying to inspire, you know, and listen, and you are an inspirational dude, and this ain't directed at you, homie.I ain't dragging this at you, but let me put it to you this way. I have a friend. Okay. I'm going to say it like this, because now you're putting the situation out there where I kind of understand where you're coming from. You're saying, look, you know, I mean, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm going to show you a way.I'm going to show you a solution. I can listen to this. This is real man. Listen. Okay. Listen, I got a friend who's real close to another friend and his real close friend got himself in a situation that's through no fault of his own. It's real fucked up. Okay. Now my friend might handle things a certain way.When the shit goes down, it goes like this. But my friend called, uh, an attorney, right. To figure out the options from a legal perspective. Right? Like what if you were to like take care of business, take care of business. That's right, right. I'm there. I know. And it's not all, it's also strategy. Right. And there's not a person on God's green earth that wouldn't understand why my friend might want to take care of business in a certain way.Okay. There's not nobody you could kill from the sheriff to the fucking homeless. They'd all understand like, oh, okay. Yeah. Murder was, I don't know. No, I mean, I'm not saying now I'm just saying what's that called murder? I don't know what you're talking about that. No, listen, listen. I understand what you're saying.I, listen, I got a way to handle it. I got a way to handle this. All right. Right. Certain things were hammered out and done in a way that business was taken care of, but not in a way that was going to make everything go real south real fast. So what I'm trying to tell you is, is that solvers meaning what?The worst? No, no, no, no. So Southern south sides, the best we're talking about, what's the worst thing that could happen. Um, I can't tell you that. I don't know. I can't imagine it, but if you can read between the lines, which you can. Okay. Right. Cause there might be blow back and there's a whole problem. But what I'm trying to tell you is when you get into a place as a human, as a spirit where you feel like it's either this or that, okay.I'm telling you from experience that that's a false dilemma. It's not really this or that. There are other options, but it does take. Uh, pause and you do have to let someone else drive to do the little thing. That's all I'm trying to get to you brother. Cause I understand what another thing too. I want to point out.It's another thing that everybody was feeling like, you know, like they, the dude next to me right here, I'm going to explain. So now you're going like a month, some months, like 2000. When I started talking, I said 2022, it hits. So from then on a little bit, after a little bit of 2021 from the time man from that time.So in other words, you, you, every time you go to where you want to lay your head, like you go, you you're, you're in a situation where your home is your, your domain, where it's peaceful. You want to go to a place where you feel at peace. And it started to get like that with, with, uh, it started to get to the points with me, where I was going through a situation where I knew there wasn't peace.I was seeing my, my, um, you know, It got to the point where I was like, I wasn't, it sounded that I felt, I wasn't feeling the inner peace with myself. I was not really feeling the inner peace with myself because of the people that were that they're not really, that I, that I had, like, I'm going to say, oh, well, I, what I say goes, or what if they don't run those, you know, like if we're on the yard and you don't do the burpees you get in.Right. I'm not, I'm not going in a situation like that. I'm going in a situation like, like I want to be able to come somewhere where nobody's hanging on my watch each individual who is going through the same thing that I'm, I'm probably going through now. I watched a certain individuals and I kept looking at it and I go, damn, I don't want that to happen to me.I don't want to, I don't want to be like that guy. I just saw this guy goes through this and all. And it's either about finances or romances is either behind a dude getting in a relationship green. Right. It was either a dude getting in a relationship. And I was watching, I was watching, I was watching in the back of my head.I'm well, I'm not going to let that happen. I'm not gonna let that happen. I'm not going to have, while it was sitting in. Well, little by little I'm I'm telling myself the cunning baffling and powerful thing. That's that I'm not even realizing it's in my head actually saying to me, that's not going to happen to you.That's not grammar. And little by little, I started noticing, but it is happening saying it as you move intoit's like when you're riding a bike and you can see you're going to fuck up before can't turn, that's not going to happen. That's not going to have a look. And none of it driving into the fucking, the border right by the border guys were there and he had the shit and he was like, ah, man, but there's nothing to getAnd I'm like, and I'm looking at it like this now. And in the back of my mind, I was like, wait, and then you start noticing that a little bit of everybody, everybody that you're around. Yeah. It's like everything that you're, that they're experiencing, you're, you're feeling the same effects of that happening.And it was like getting serious, so I wasn't even watching. So they came in on one guy and he said, you missed two for domestic violence. Has a standup pajamas, brown your back. I look at, I go, well, that ain't going to happen to me. Cause I'm not in over there messing around this scratch. But wait a minute, if I keep it at some point, if I'm fighting with somebody in that type of room, but I'm not going to put myself, but I started noticing that I was getting pushed 10, that, that, like you want to like take it all the way you got, even to where it was even, he was even getting to the point to where there was some, like things that I never thought I was.To somebody else and things were being said, and things were in there and I would ever hang. And then, and then even on another and another scale I was, God was putting myself in a position. Nobody else. I don't put nobody in my own self. I was putting myself in a position to do things right, where I thought this individual is putting me in a position where I've never been.I've never had any other individual put me in this position to lead me to up to the points where I would make myself look like this. And I went ahead and I made myself do exactly what I thought I wasn't doing, which. Because of the fact that w I had put, you know, I wasn't in my right from a mind, of course, I'm not going to go and blame.Oh. Because I did what I did and I did. And it doesn't matter what I did. And it doesn't matter if I try to figure out who's doing what, or what are you doing or where you're at with it, or where do you, what are you gonna do with it? What are we going to do at the end of the day? I'm the solution to, what's going to happen to this?When I leave up out of here, I could say, as a man, honestly, honestly, in the listening, well, you leaving about it. There are you going to be all right? When you hear about it, I know I'm not going to fucking be all right, because I'm going into a place where I'm not feeling at peace. So if you're going to be like, well, if you're not feeling, are you, how about you?You feel at peace when you go back, be honest, not late. St. John, you gotta be careful. Y. So you see, so we brought the same person over here, so they kind of explained now, when you talk, you gotta be careful what you're talking about, because if you really want to get honest, I have no problem with that, man.You're you, you're on man. We're men hold up. We're not children. You're a man. So you know, this is a, if you feel this is a good platform for people to know what the fuck is going on, you're an honest man, you still sincere. And a lot of what you say, right? That's why I got that fallen out or whatever that's going on without joking around, man.I seen any jokes, no jokes. It's been a long fucking ride regardless of what we've been through or what we're doing or whoever's out there like what the fuck is really? What the fuck are these dudes even talking about? Like, what do you got one motherfucker? You know, he stands tall, you know, and tell, you know, fuck all that.We remove everything. We come naked. Okay. She knew up in here, naked man, naked shit. Tell us, tell us what you, what you, what you, what you're going to tell him. Uh, I, what I was going to say, how I don't feel, uh, secure or I don't feel in a good place, you know? Cause we do, we do have a sobriety or a UN uh, help.I am, I lost all of our, we have, because we live in a sober living house. It's hard to express the truth we're full right now. And it's not a good feeling when yeah. Okay. Let me tell you something. Let me see if I could turn into a hypothetical something that's not, when I worked and soberly, I used to work at sober living in Malibu while I went to law school.Right. And I can tell you straight up, I know for a fact that that sober living had dirty people living up in there because they could afford the rent. All right. So I can see where you could be in a sober living and you might not feel like maybe you're supported. So I'm not necessarily saying that's the issue here.I'm just saying I could see it that way. Right? Now Schmidt, let me ask you a different question. And all of the warnings still apply and this isn't live so we can delete it out if we have to, because it will all in protect the innocent and all that good thing. But from your perspective, what did you see with the challenges that big LEP was like?Did you, did you notice, uh, challenges coming up or how was your experience kind of, because I was in the orange Thorpe house, uh, for awhile there and everybody started using it. It started a little, some guy, one guy and another guy, and then the young guys come and fuck, they're using the whole back of the whole back room to sell speed out of the back of the house.Right. And so you saw trouble on that summer, everybody high and everybody lying necessarily worried about another house that we actually had to go intervene and do what. The manager was t

What road to go down. I ain't even go in there. He didn't deny it. He saidthat's the worst. I was like that, bro. You really lost it on that one. Nice. Okay. Let's do it. Sean's looking at me like where do we go from here? Motherfucker. Do something, motherfucker. What the fuck? I love awkward silence. I do too. It's so it's so. It's something people try to avoid. Like they try to move away from it.All right. Uh, shorts what's on tap. What are we doing? You're in charge of, you know, we can roll it out with the, uh, world war two. And the Eddie Carter that you were telling me about was that the gentleman's name? That Carter Eddie Carter. Yeah. That isn't related to Jimmy. No, but this guy is, his story is amazing too.Mom gave me a little, a little, a preview of it and uh, fucking blew my mind. Hey, um, so, so the really start this out really is to talk about black history month. That's what February is, right? Yup. Ollie, why don't you get on his mic, man? I do consider yourself African-American yeah, he does. He does. All right.So Ali, uh, is black history month. What do you understand about black? Sit down my brother. What do you understand about black history man? A month? It's time to celebrate a culture that has been suppressed from the get go. So it's a time for people who are in color to embrace who they are and be happy in their skin and not try to be any other race.Just like, be happy that you're you. But like, it would be cool if like everyone had their own month to celebrate. Like, I don't want to be like, oh, like just take all the shine. Like everyone should have that opportunity. Hey Ali, do you know how black history month got started? Can you just let me know?Okay. Uh, does anybody actually have any idea how black history month even got stuff? Schwartz and shaking his head, Sean. I mean, do you so black history month? Cause I, I didn't know. I looked it up because I wanted to know. Cause it seems like it feels like you just have these sort of politically quote unquote correct holidays that it seemed like the government put out to try to keep everybody cool and like not pissed off.Right. So I looked it up and it's not that in fact, what it is is black history month started out as black history week and black history week started because a guy who was black African-American went to Harvard. Wooden is his last. Wouldn't and he discovered in all the history books at Harvard that know nothing about black Americans contribution to this country history, anything was in any of the textbooks at Harvard.What year is this? We're talking like 19, early 1900. Right? So he's sitting there and he's thinking, and he starts the first, like African-American academic journal from Harvard. Right. And it's like, he reads through the history books and we're talking college level zero, mention about African-Americans contribution to history.And so he says, fuck it. And he said, we're going to start black history week. Now there had already been before the 19 hundreds, a tradition in the African-American community to celebrate, to celebrate the first week in February already. Does anybody know why? No, because. Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln both had birthdays in that first week.I think a Frederick, I think Frederick Douglas is Valentine's day 14th and what? No, no. I thought Lincoln's was like the 13th or something. It's like the eighth, I believe. Right. So African-Americans were like, that was a major change in our situation. It wasn't fixed. Right. But it was. So that week eventually right.Turned into an entire month as, as more and more folks started to push the idea and the whole cause of it was because, um, only one history was shining at the time of that white history. Well, two things about what you said is one, how many African-Americans were at Harvard or at any of the big universities at that time?That could even point out, oh shit. There's nothing in here. Black contribution to this country. Um, and so I think it's amazing that he did that, but also too, I think it's important for people to know it. Wasn't given black history month. Wasn't given out, you hear all these, maybe it's urban legend, like, okay, it's black history month because it's the shortest month in the year, right?That's a, that's a common joke in the comedy circles. Right. And the truth of the matter is, is it, and this is what really gets fucked up in these situations. Is that the common culture, common sense people, right. They think like, oh, this was dispensed from the government. Right. And it was dispensed out of some feeling of obligation to keep black and it's bullshit.Right, right. It was picked because Abraham Lincoln who fucking defeated the entire south and Emmy murdered motherfuckers, that's really what I wind up when grant did that March to the. Right. He burned crops, salted the earth and it was, it was to break the back of the Southern fuck faces. And I love the south, but I'm also saying a lot of those motherfuckers wanted to keep slavery and place.He's the reason why, uh, blacks, at least slavery ended right now. Frederick Douglas. I mean, dude, none of us talked about Frederick Douglas, that dude was born a slave and he tricked white people into teaching them English. He tricked him into teaching them how to read and write when it was illegal for black people, illegal for black people to read or write.And the whole reason is they didn't want black people reading because if they read, then they would read the Bible. Then they read about the Jews who fucking broke out of slavery. And that might lead to us losing a fucking dope ass system. This is American history. And that's the pur and that's the next, that's the next phase though, is that there's a movement like Morgan Freeman and other folks have said, well, I don't want to call it black history because it's really American history.It is American history. Yeah. It's not black history. The problem is is that if you do. Privilege that piece. It won't be acknowledged. It won't be acknowledged. That's the part that, that a lot of these conservative whites gloss over, that's the hidden power structure behind this dialogue. First, as soon as you say black, it goes into a certain column.Right. But the problem is, is if you don't say black, then the P goes into no column and it goes into zero column. Right. Uh, you would hear people, so that's kind of, you would hear people like, oh, well, black history month and why, why isn't there a white history month? Why isn't there, whatever. And you know, the argument and it's true that if you didn't have that, it wouldn't be at all.And like every other month is white history month or American history month without the inclusion of the African-American contribution. So then how does that, how do you think that plays into American when they are talking about just American history? They have the slaughter of the. And that's just American history.It, that is American history and it should be American history. And then you also have to go in. And so this is what I think personally, I think that it should be approached from, uh, from the angle of a disciplinary angle. For instance, if you were to say the history of automobiles, right. Or the history of gambling or the history of song or the history of America, right.All of that would fit under America, but it's still a category, but it doesn't mean that just because you put it into the category, it's separate and apart from America. Right. So if you said, I want to study heavy. Right. You wouldn't necessarily approach it and say, well, don't call it heavy metal. Cause now you're separating it from music.You would already understand that that's a subcategory of the general category of music. So in this case, the general category is American history. Sub category would be African-American history because you need that kind of detailed study in that little branch of the history in order to bring all those details to life.So that the general category of American history is actually more accurate, not better, not worse, accurate the true story. And so I think when you get bogged down into like the fighting about what, what should we call it and should it be the same and blah, blah, blah. I think there's a place for people to say it's American history, but then I think it makes sense from a, from a intellectual standpoint that you have to label certain things in order to feel.Uh, all of the details in order, but that's kind of what the fight is going on now. You know, a lot of Republicans and people on the right are saying, oh, we shouldn't burden our kids with the fact that there was slavery. Fuck. Or there was prejudice, all these things that, oh, you know, they're going to feel guilty or hate their country.No, they're going to have an appreciation and an understanding from where we were, where we're at now and the road that we can take to go. And you know, those same. I gotta say this. Like when I look at old pictures of slavery and read about it, and I look at the problems that I have today, it just like completely wipes out any little negative thing in my life.Like just comparing like my life to what used to be like, knowing about all that messed up stuff. It's like, it's pretty necessary to know. So you can realize like how far we came and like, damn like life ain't that bad. Like it could be a lot worse. I know about that stuff. You gotta know about it because you got to know it could be worse.You got to know about it, that what people consider golden ages of history, where actually rife with complete violence and injustice so that you don't get some fake ass idea that like, oh, it was all good before, you know, part of the power. People don't understand this, but in our Western thinking, we have a tendency to look back in a direction that everything was perfect.At some past point, there was a garden of Eden. There was no trouble. Adam was walking around naked, his vision was naked and they could do anything and they didn't have to work. And there was no menstruation. There was none of that. It was cool. It was. Now we live in this corrupted society and it's all fucked up.It's actually always been fucked up. That's the first point it's always been fucked up. It's always been corrupted. So in looking at that, I wanted to get that out to make sure that our audience and myself and us are aware that black history month started out because black history was not being taught.And it was only a week. And it was already a tradition of celebrating the fact that Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas, right, were people who really advanced. I mean, you can talk all the bullshit you want. You can fucking say all this other stuff. Those are two guys that put their asses on the line.To advance a cause or a people in this country. And, and, and so I think that piece of it is super important and to really the politics of it should be taken out. There should be no question on, in anyone's plate that, uh, the true history of America should be taught to the citizens who are gonna inherit this country.Frederick Douglas, you said he tricked the wipey. Wouldn't teaching him how to read and white. So what did he do with that to help both by being, oh, so he didn't make black history month, but he did was he eventually got himself out of slavery at a time when slavery was still there and traveled through Europe and became emblematic of a guy that showed that African-Americans even see, this is the part that really hurts motherfuckers that are weak.Frederick Douglas showed. You can say, I'm not a man. And you can say that I'm not human and you can put me in jail. But through my own intellect, owls, outsmart you, and I'll make all pain. I'll get myself paid out of this thing. And I'll go on speaking tours throughout Europe and America as a free man.Yeah, he was the, I, I would say during that time, probably the most prominent and respected African-American, um, men, he came out of slavery. Think about, think about being you talk in this country. We all make a big hoopla about being a self-made man. People fucking waxed, you know, Elon Musk's car, because he was like, ah, I, I slept on beanbags and coded all night.Think about Frederick Douglas, what he had to overcome in terms of what he was labeled. The rules were all against him to eventually get to a place where he was free and was able to come and go and places. So Frederick D we could do an entire show. Frederick. Oh, that guy was a real hero. An American hero.I think we should for black history month, I think during this month let's let's do one. I'll do it. I'll do it. You could imagine how crazy it would be if he was living in this time period, like how he would be able to finesse. Cause like that knowledge he has, like, you can't take that away from him. Like when you said like, when you put chains on me, you calling whatever, like you can't change.Like my mom's. Yeah. But, but, but, but hold on a second. All right, but hold on. You're right. But I think a Frederick Douglas came here today. He'd be very disappointed. Oh yeah. Because nobody's working as hard as he did. That's exactly right. That's exactly fucking right. And like you're right. He. W figured out where the freedom is, it's in the mind, but our generations of folks have been so brainwashed by companies like apple, Microsoft fucking Coca-Cola, all these jerk-off companies, Nike, right?That they no longer are free in their mind. You're free in your body. You ain't free in your mind. Oh, like they are brainwashed to consume brainwashed, to consume meaningless jobs, create a meaningless life, which creates people a desire to buy meaningless junk. Meaningless junk to fill a hole in themselves because they haven't developed their mind.And that's where our society is today. And that's why you got all these fucking idiots that they're not genuinely idiots. Like they have the capacity to think, but they're just under so much layers of bullshit that they're so confused that they would try to overthrow their own country and smear feces in their own Congress and then act like it didn't happen.Right. Oh, you talking about like this government? Fuck. That's right. So now that we've hit that point, I want to turn now to write the project here where my, my, my desire here and talking about, um, the African-American contribution to the American project, the American dream, the American home, the American goal, the American success, and one of the things that, um, I want it to do is also connected to Los Angeles.Right. Okay. And I wanted to talk about somebody called Eddie Carter. Nope. Eddie Carter. And in relation to Jimmy Carter, none. What was his, um, ranking by the time that he was done? Was he like a Sergeant? What do you know? Yeah. But by the time that he was, well, this is a good question to ask. Cause I can tell you this, he made it to Sergeant, but he had to give up those stripes.Oh yeah. That's right. So Eddie Carter, his dad, um, was from LA and he was like, um, like, uh, like a, a preacher, right. One of these preachers and he went to, and we're talking like, you know, 1908 or 1910, like around that time, his dad, a black man. Think about that. Right. Went to India to convert Hindus into Christianity.Christian man, they're going everywhere, fucking way team. They're trying to increase their numbers big and uh, I'll sign anybody up. Border will kill you. Right. And so he was up there and he married an Indian woman, I think, here in LA. And that's why they went to India together. And Eddie Carter's mother was from India and his dad was, um, a black dude from LA and they went there.And, uh, and, and when you went to India back then, right, you had to like take a fucking boat. It was no like massive thing. Right? So they stopped at Hong Kong and all this other stuff now really think about an African-American dude, an adult from LA at that time, seeing like Hong Kong and Singapore and Ryan goon and all this shit, it was pretty way out there.They got to India, they set up shop. And the thing of it was, was that for whatever reason, this young Eddie Carter had, was always drawn to the middle of. Um, and in India he said he was visited by a spirit that told them if you, you will become a great warrior. And for whatever reason, when he was like 14, that stuck with him and in India, right.Eddie's his mom ran off with another dude and they took the church money. Oh. So imagine that God damn. Fraud's not, but not the dad. Wasn't okay. Okay. The dad was, it was a die. I mean, this dude would pray and praying all this other shit. Right. And then one day, one of his buddies and his wife just disappeared with the church.Kitty, Tammy Faye ran off with the bag. And I mean, imagine what, how that would make you feel. You're Eddie Carter. You're in India, right? You don't know anybody, your mom's gone now. It's just you and your dad and your kids. It's a fun. Think about that. So, so, so start. So they, they lose all their thing. They try their luck and China, the dad goes to China with Eddie, everybody that goes to China with Eddie and they start up the holy roller shit over there.Cause you know, just like you said, Christians are trying to sign up mothers, right? When they're trying to sign up the Chinese, there was already a lot of white Christian dudes over there. Right. But get a load of this, the Chinese hated white people. You imagine that Steve, why would the Chinese around that time hate white motherfuckers?Cause they were. Pretty much making them go railroads. Yeah. I love you, Steve. I can see right then and there dude, you're like a master of like, I'm gonna throw out an answer. That's correct. Probably in some way, I'm just going to be general enough. Cause they were listen. Why people enslaved a lot of different kinds of people.So if I just say enslaved them, that's probably right. That's a good reason. I can just imagine you in high school brother, I could just see you being like, because they were bad. Well, yes and yeah, no, because of the British and the opium trade got their fucking old country strung out on fucking heroin and then started fucking buying it and doing that, you can make them buy it from all that shit.Do this horrible. What was that called though? The heroin, the Hong Kong or something heroin thing or it was the opium wars. Yeah. So think about that. So, so, so you're hating them at a deep level. Yeah, it's just strung out their whole country. Do they do the pusher? The pusher man was the British kingdom and the queen and she rugged went over there and said, you know what, try this little powder and then got them all hooked up on it.And it's, it's it's England bull that story. When I read that, I was like, God damn. Why is it that that level of evilness comes out of England? Like that, man, what the fuck is that, man? My blink of a shit about nobody up some themselves. They still bro. They still don't. I was just having dinner with that client.He's a, he's a pro he was, he's a retired university president with a lot of connections and shit. He was laying some stories out to me about the British Royals. Oh man, bro. No, no blame. No Blaine. So, so, so, so, but, so, so at that time, right there was like white Christians doing missionary work over there.Right. But the Chinese were like cock block and I'm like, nah, motherfucker, no, we dealt with you before. And we got all fucked up. We ain't going to deal with you now, but Eddie's dad was a black man and the Chinese embraced him. It didn't matter that he was married. I mean, it was his, he was as far from white as possible.So embraced it. Anybody was also American. Right. And this is right around the time that like chairman Mao in and, um, check hi shack where we're clashing about who's going to control, China's going to be communism or is it going to be now American back? Uh Sheck is he going to be right? And the Americans were actually putting a lot of money and energy and in part of the American push, when they saw that Eddie Carter's day.Hat's it was getting some fucking purchase with these fucking, uh, the, with the, the American back Chinese folks, all of a sudden Eddie Eddie's father's dad was able to get his hold of a publishing and the printing press. Next thing you know, they're floating out all that fucking propaganda through Eddie's that now that his dad became close with check, I check and the women is so close.In fact that when that dude's daughter got deathly ill with the fucking typhoid Eddie's dad was praying over the daughter and she miraculously healed. And as a result shack and his crew became converted to Christianity. Schwartz's shorts. Tell us you shaking your hand. You got the cynical scowl. What was that about?No, it's like they, they had, uh, they had some little bit of proof and they fucking ran with it. It was like, man, you performed a mirror. Yeah. So do they Buddhist, do you know what they were to switch over? What type of religion they worked this before? They weren't Buddhist. They were something akin to, I think Confucianism.Okay. All right. And there was a lot of like veneration and it was not Buddhist. And I think the maturation, yeah. Like respect to the ancestors, all that shit you see in those Disney fucking Chinese ones where it's like borderline racist, but are they supporting it or is it racist? And they're like black and incense and then goes to the ancestors, come out and sing some fucked up song.And you're like, I don't know if this might be racist. So all of that. But Eddie Carter, the young man was in military schools in China during that time. And because of the connections, uh, he got into the military to fight against Mao in the early days. And his dad flipped out because the tensions were growing.It was clear that something was going to happen and they were struggling over. Who's going to control China. And so his dad with his connections got his son out early and they moved back to LA. That's crazy. I didn't. So he was like a part of the Chinese military, basically. That's even crazier. Yes. Think about that.That's fucking nuts right now. This is him wanting to fucking, I don't know, what's up with dudes that lost their moms from some shit, but you, you like, you want to get discipline and military, you want join shit and fight shit. And, and young Eddie was already and he could already speak Chinese. He could already speak Hindu.Right? He's like 15, 16. And he's like out there carrying rifles in the Chinese army, fucking throwing down in a fight. That's not even his battle. Cause that's how bad he wanted to fucking fight. He was a soldier through and through. Go back to LA. Right. And all of this is a precursor and leading up to Japan, coming down and starting to take over China, which it did.Right. All right. But Nan king, look it up. Then you go there, all that shit up. Look it up. So all that's kind of bubbling now at this time, this is pre-World war two, right? When now we're getting into pre-World war II and for the first four years of shit that the Nazis were doing, right. Or maybe even five, the United States was like, man, we ain't getting involved.I mean, you know, you're killing Jews over there. All right. Just as long as you pay us and you window down or nah, we're not gonna, you know, and who was it? Which was, um, God, I wanna think it was for. Pushing around that children as ion or the Zionist stuff. Remember Ford was like passing around that anti-Semitic fucking propaganda book called the elders of Zion, which was a total fraud.Right. All right. So, so pre w YouTube America, right? Pre W2. I love watching Steve shakers. So pre WWT bullying me the fucking Connecticut white people did not give a shit about the Jews at all. And at this time though, there was a guy named Franco, which country was Franco in? I don't know Spain. Oh dude. I just guessed it was Franco.Franco was addicted. In Spain. And he was taking over Spain. There was something called the Spanish civil war. Now just like the time that's happening right now, there was something called there was fascist breaking out all over Europe. You had Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, right. And some people have said, it's part of an echo that comes out of the depression, the depression, economic situation set up the perfect circumstances for these dictators to come in and use fascia a dream that's right, right.And blame blame. Right. Right. Okay. That's the biggest thing they need to have. Now. This is, what's so special. Now this is, what's so special about Eddie Carter Jr. When Franco in the Spanish civil war was going on, now you might know, right. There's a lot of, um, Books, you know, uh, you know, um, Hemingway, you know, all of that, there was a rider tradition in America that got involved in the Spanish civil war on the side of the antifascists right.Antifa and motherfucking Tiefer that's Antifa antifascist against the spread of it. And it's not even in America it's way over there, but the danger was so real and they knew it was such an evil thing. This fucking fascism that Americans fat ass Americans, red blooded Americans who had no dog in that fight.We're like, I'm going to sign up and volunteer and go fight in that war. And one of those folks was Eddie Carter Jr. Right. Eddie Carter. And there was something called the Abraham Lincoln brigade in the Spanish civil war. Which is a group of Americans of all stripes, Jewish, black, white, gay, straight BI curious, right.Allied questioning all of those types, going to Spain to fight against the fascists. And Eddie Carter was one of them. And I mean, that dude, when he showed up, have most of the people that showed up over there with were nut Knicks, like idiots that had never had any military training. Eddie Carter had already been in military schools and already fought in the Chinese war.So when they sent him, he was training guys over there. Okay. So this was official, like what branch of the military did he sign up for here in this country? This is unofficial. The government was so hands off. Well, when the government gave you a passport for Europe, the stamp said, this is not valid to go to Spain because they didn't want anyone interfering with Franco's takeover of Spain.And so these people were. Um, the Abraham Lincoln brigade would, um, smuggled themselves through the pier and ease into Spain through a back route. And like Eddie Carter was one of those dudes and Eddie Carter fought. He killed, he got captured. There you go. Hood hood every quarterfor duty, sir, reporting for duty. So he's there. Right? And in fact, I'm going to play you something. This is back when racism, when fascism was something that people of all different creeds believed in. Even Woody Guthrie wrote a song about the Abraham Lincoln brigade. Oh, wow. And let's see if I can find it right here.It's called, it's called valley. And it's about the valley in Spain where the Abraham Lincoln brigade fought against the fascists. Just, just, just, just to give you an idea.there's a valley and Spain called her on, uh, it's a place that we all know so well, it was there that we fought against the flashes. We saw peaceful valley turned to him. That's an issue we'll put you on to that song myself. Oh, really? Well, cause I know you played that song that your dad had, uh, by his son by our low.And so I didn't know if he was just a fan of the Guthrie's my dad was, but he never played that one. Right. But it came up when I was looking into the Abraham Lincoln brigade, I didn't realize that Woody Guthrie had like, written about. And Eddie Carter had actually fought in it.

He's he's gotten himself all the way over there. He can speak German. He can speak Chinese. He can speak English and he can speak Hindu. And he's over there in Spain with a rifle, with a w as a volunteer, not getting paid. Anything. How old is he at this time?Approximately? He's like 18. 19. So he's fresh. Yeah, but he's already got a lot of experience fighting in the valleys. Sean, what do you, what, in terms of thinking about what Woody Guthrie represents as part of like an audience, what do you think about that at a time that, that Woody Guthrie was singing about fighting fascists in back then?And in that 20 way, what do I think about him singing in that way? Yeah. And like, what are you, I mean, to me, it blew my mind that there were these songs that were against fascists circulating around in the music industry back then, that's the first I've ever heard of it. Right. Victim music was so much more culturally relevant and impactful.That was, it's more connected to like a folk music. It does sound like, it felt like country foci. Right. Right. But that's kind of interesting to me, I guess what I'm saying is, is like, where's our correlate for that today. None, there really isn't a record, like some sort of record taking musical output, right?Like where does Cardi B represent or she, can she pull back and talk about, you know, the great, uh, you know, recession? Cause she talked about, you know, things that have politically happened, right. Or even like a, yeah. Some sort of like, I dunno conflict. Yeah. No, she doesn't talk about that, but she will talk about some wet ass.Sure sure. There's no coffee. There is no conflict conflict with that. You know what I'm saying? Even the weekend, I liked the weekends beats and everything, but where is, where is the correlate to Woody? Guthrie's singing about the Abraham Lincoln brigade about volunteers in another country from America fighting for fascism.The, the, well, the only the surprisingly enough in, um, some underground hip hop, some conscious hip hop, you will get people really intelligent MCs covering historical and speaking about, um, those, those issues or the history of things. So I really do the only correlation that I can see. I think that that does exist.And I think. Um, to our detriment, they're not the gatekeepers and when they still act like there's no gatekeepers now because of the internet, but they're still gatekeepers. Those gatekeepers are keeping those voices down. Sure. That's not it. That will never be popular music that's given to the masses.All that shit is the same thing. Y you know, talking about dumbing down or keeping people uninformed and uneducated. I mean, the find the rules hiding the fucking right, right. Think about like Trump, you going, I mean, our president of the United States able to have a platform dig, say Antifa is full of fucking villains and criminals, but then, you know, 80 years ago, there's a guy with a guitar and a record.And he's talking about fighting fascism color, color, style era, regardless. It doesn't matter. Irrelevant. How far have we fallen? And drifted, right? It goes back to when we're talking to Ali about how the history is not really being taught. So Eddie Carter's over there. Eventually he gets captured by Franco's forces and he escapes from military prison.Excuse nuts. Unbelievable. Gets back to the United States. And whenAmerica enters world war II, he's ready to rock. He's ready to rock. So he signs up. Where's my fucking drums.Yup. Edward Carter reporting for duty and the, what did the army do? They said, yes, black man come under the army, but we have segregation in the army. Alright, no different than it is out here. Don't take, you're joining the army and you don't get no fucking, uh, you don't get no metals around here. You got here.Listen to you guys. All right. You're telling out right now, listen, this is what we're going to do. We're going to create a black army and the black army. You're going to be allowed to carry stuff, cook stuff, take stuff off the ships and that's it. You can do the service work. How's that? How's that sound is that good?This is good. A uniform you liked that you liked it, right? And the wagon. Right. They're all going to carry the guns because we don't want any black people carrying guns because we know what we did. And we're afraid that when we're sleeping, you might fucking turn around and shoot us. We don't think you're going to be loyal because we weren't loyal to you.So for a lot, for the most of the world war, uh, and a lot of African-Americans did join the army and, and whatever else, but they were relegated to service roles and, and that pissed, uh, Eddie Carter off. But, but that was the reality of the day. So he was in it and he was a cook and he rose to the level of a Sergeant to, as a Sergeant of a black outfit in the army.Now, at this point, I need to pivot in world war II. I got a fucking pivot. All right, Mr. Mrs. Turn to the side, right? Because I'm going to switch and give you some background to get explained what? Cause we haven't even got to the amazing part of yet everything we just talked about was just kind of like leading up.Yeah. Okay. So in world war two, what was in, I don't know who I should throw this to. Maybe I'll throw this to oh, blue eyes. Oh, blue eyes. What was the major first entry of the Americans into world war II, Eastern theater of operations. It was not the big band swing dance phase. What was it? What was there?What was the big entry? What was the big Tudou the hoopla as it were my good man of American entry into Eastern theater of operations. And it looks like a IP dog right. D day. And what's do they short it's when we stormed the beaches of Normandy and, um, went fucking straight up in the, in the belly of the beast coming right into the, the Nazis Lux. Why did they call it D day? I don't know, because they couldn't think of anything else. So they called it day day, and they shortened it to D day.That's the true story of why it's called D day fucking, they couldn't think of anything else at the time. And I was like, fuck it. We'll just call it D for day D day. And that's it. Nothing special. And what happened is that the American and the British storm to beat. The first group of, in everyone saw saving private Ryan, right?Everybody got cut down, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But it was such a massive amount of numbers that eventually overwhelmed the Nazis who had fucking build all these pill boxes and shit up into the fucking cliffs and all this other shit. Right. But eventually they got overrun. Not only did they get over run.Right. And remember, soon Zhu said, when you're climbing up the mountain with your allies, hold hands. So the British and the Americans were holding hands French. Wasn't doing Jack shakes up smoking cigarettes and fucking wearing braids. They were coming up to fucking from that coast going towards Germany, which you know, and you look at a map you're like, okay.And Hitler looked at him and he's like, okay, they're coming from this angle. And that's the only place that they can come from. So blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So for six months, we kit fucking German fucking ass all over the place and all this masteries talk and fat Americans and mongrel Americans with mixed racial blood.They allow Jews and blacks in their armies. They don't know how to fight. They're weak and soft. All that shit got put to rest and Hitler was tripping. Hell. I was like, look, man, I talked to big one and we're getting our asses handed to us. And in fact, even his own generals around him were starting to be whatever.And they had actually tried to kill him in his Ravens dead. Oh no, no. His Wolf's den. They tried to kill him with a bomb that actually, because the windows were open. If the windows hadn't been open, when this, when this bomb went off from one of us, he would have killed him. Instead, the windows were open, so the compression went out and he just walked and Hitler walks out like in a days with that fucked up mustache and black face.And he's like, well, what happened? And at that point, everybody was in on the plot was like, are you all right? Oh man, what happened? How long did it take before you had them all killed? Uh, like, like a couple of weeks. I think that was, you know, the movie Valkyrie, Tom cruise. That, that was that, uh, attempt. So now you're Hitler, you sitting there on the couch, right?You got these crazy bitches rubbing your shoulder. You've got a massive headache and you're sitting and thinking to yourself, the walls are closing in the Americans and the British are coming at me. I gotta do something. I gotta do something. And so what does he do? He's like, I'm going to do, what's worked in the past.I'm going to do the offensive Nazi punch. All right into the allies, right into their line, and I'm going to punch him so hard. You're going to be knocked back all the way in a fucking Atlantic. That's what I'm going to do. And he called up right. His most trusted warlocks. And one of those was like, uh, what's like this super secret dude who had a whole plan where he dressed up as an American and his troops as Americans and infiltrated the American lines to get sabotage and fucking information.Right. And this myth freaked Americans out. They thought that there was, they, they believed that there was Nazis running around dressed like Americans talking like Americans and believe it or not a good chunk of the Nazi soldiers had studied in America. There was no problem before this war. So a lot of them knew about these different towns that a lot of our service men came from.So really shit. Yes. Ah, it think about it. So, I mean, Pennsylvania is a half of it's German. They call it Pennsylvania Dutch, but it means German. That's ridiculous. They almost break you. So, so, so, so he gets ready and he also gets all of his tanks, the Panzer divisions. Now you got to understand these Nazi tanks.They're pretty fucking ass at that point in time. Right. They've got the dope tank, but what was that? The other, the tiger tanks. So one of the things that the Nazis had on their side, because in world war one, the Nazi, not the Nazis, the Germans at that time, right. They had restrictions put on their industry that they couldn't build any more fucking war weapons.And then world war II. They got the Germans, whatever the Germans get heavily armed, it started getting nuts, right. They just lose control. And they're like, ah, y'all do things for getting high on their own fumes. Oh, they go crazy. So world war one, they're like, look, you can make stuff, but you can't make guns.And one of the guns that the Germans were making, which eventually became, who tells a country, you can make stuff, but you can't make guns in the U S right. Well, when world war one, when Germany loses, when you, when they chop your Dick off and you've got all the country standing around you and it's Europe, right?It's England, it's France. It's fucking Belgium. Right? Belgium is like right next to fucking Germany. It's like on the top of it, or maybe on the side of it, I'm going to pull up the map here and it's gone. So in that treaty, they tell you, you can't. And they got people watch sending. We were telling Saddam like no more, fuck you, no motherfucking chemical weapon.You go to war and you, and there is a not complete annihilation. There's an actual, like lay down of arms and they sign a treaty to end the hostilities. They actually, you, you set the terms. Yeah. Right. And you also set some embargoes like, well, we're not going to give what we're not delivering led to Germany after world war one, because those fuckers went crazy, super chill with it.But they had this gun that was an anti-aircraft gun called the 88 millimeter. And it's like a huge ass motherfucking gun. And we're talking like, yeah, it's twice. It's two double, a 44caliber, 88 millimeter is that that's a caliber where it's different. Who are you telling short 88 instead of 44. But this thing is, is so big. This gun is so big. It's what they use against aircraft. And the Germans after world war one were able to use their Swiss connection to keep working on it and refining it.Right? So fucking loophole. So they were like, yo y'all know, we're not making the gun. And they don't know. We're just making cuckoo clocks in Switzerland. We're just ordering cuckoo clocks. So they make this giant 88 millimeter gun. This gun is probably the most impressive gun in the war in world war two for any country, including the fucking Russians.And this gun was able to punch huge ass motherfucking holes into Sherman tanks. No problem, pal done deal. And it had like, uh, a delayed fuse so that when they shot it up at the, that the flying fortresses that were coming in and Melton down. It would explode shrapnel and this huge like hundred foot arch that these planes would get hit and the people piloting them would get hit.So they weren't trying to hit one individual plane out, although they would try, they were also fucking firing the giant frag grenades into clusters of planes and knocking them all out. And dude, a lot of fucking pilots died in world war two, bombing the shit out of Germany with these flat guns, they called them flat guns at them.Now these flattens, the thing that you got to really understand about it is that they were highly mobile and whatever German fucking engineer figured it out. Instead of trying to build this massive base, they had these foldout legs. And when you see these guns, it's being pulled by, uh, And he pulled his giant gun behind it.And you could put all kinds of brush on it and fucking, and, and the guy would sit in the little fucking cradle, right. And spin these guns on you, fire them the whole thing jumps. Yes. And they, and I think the, each shell was 37 pounds, which was, they had figured out, this is how crazy these Germans are.They're like, what is the most that a man can carry by himself? And they could fire 20 of the 20 of these 37 shells in a minute. They had a whole system. They even had a special little fucking tool to list how many per minute, 20 Jesus Christ. And these were the most feared guns in the fucking war. And so eventually.They not only would shoot at the planes, but they could lower it, so it could shoot at tanks and it would punch holes in the Sherman changes to the biliterate them. Then the Germans were like, yo, you know, I've, you know, you know that, I think maybe it would be a good idea to, uh, put this gun on it on a, on a tank.And they made a tiger tank. And the millimeter armor of the tiger tank was so thick that German tanks couldn't punch through it. And these tanks would sit up and like, just face whatever the American or the burden, the British had some real fucked up tanks. Their tanks looked like their tanks look like some kind of like three-year-old with fucked up Legos made it.Oh, so all of this gets set up. Right. And, and Hitler's like, I'm gonna punch through. And now the art ENS is a piece as a mountain range that only has one road. And nobody ever expects anybody to be able to go through this mountain pass. And so the Americans, after six months of kicking ass, their supply lines got stretched.Okay. Like how are you getting fuel and all the shit to these tanks. And also their men had been depleted. So now they needed to rest. So what did they do? They arrested up in this area, in the Ardennes in the forest, did mountains of art, the gardens, and nobody expected any kind of attack. And in fact, it LER was setting up this whole situation where during the day would look like tanks are going to Russia at night, they would circle around and come back and they were building up these forces in the Arden mountains.And so they were getting ready for this massive fucking Nazi fist, right into the fucking allies and allied intelligence. Had fallen down. They didn't know that this was happening and there was men on the ground with binoculars and they were like, Hey, uh, I'd seen 500 tanks come up. And the fucking military brass was like, you must be seeing things because we don't have any reports like that.So these slim amount of fucking dudes, right? They were the ones that were going to stop the Nazi fist punch into the allies and they barely hung on, had it broken through the, the whole war would've gone differently. But the reason why it's called the battle of the bulge is because that Nazi fist made a bolt into the line of the Americans and the British once the Americans and the British were able to contain that Nazi fist then, and Hitler was almost like not going to give up.I mean, his journey, his generals are screaming in his face. Like, dude, what the fuck are you doing? As soon as it started to cave in then Patton general Patton was tasked with driving right into the German country and annihilating them. Right. Patent was patent in Montgomery and patent had a tank battalion and had been, must've been licking.His chops. Duke is waiting for Eisenhower, right when the first that Nazi first punch came through and they finally became aware of the severity of the situation. I, as in how I had all his generals and he's like massage his bald ass head. And he was like, man, huh? And he's like, what patent, how soon can you get your tanks up into the area?And Patton was like two days and Eisenhower and everybody else stopped. Patting was just being as bragging and acting stupid. And he's like, stop, you know, enough with the manly shit parenting. How, how can you really do it? Pat said two days and Patton did get his fucking people up there in two days. A member of patents, fucking tank brigades, and one of them had their patches ripped off.You borrowed a tank brigade or stole a tank brigade from another general, had the patches ripped off. And they were known as the mysterious battalion. Nobody knew who they were, but they have, they had, you know, different, weird fucks in it and shit like, and this is where you start this bastards. This is where you start getting all these myths about the fucking and they were promoting it like, oh, these were, these are guys that were in prison.It's not true. There was no like criminals in fucking world war II, five minutes to scare the Germans to get them back for that fucking, we got Nazis running around in American clothes, freaking people out. So we were like, yeah, well, we got all our prisoners that we gave them guns and told them, you kill Nazis.You win. So it's going, right. So this American fucking charge is going right to the heart of Nazi Germany in your country. You know, A couple of years before that you were talking about how the third Rock's going to last for a thousand years and given this mission, now, everyone in your country is seeing American flag tanks roll by their little fucking castle.One of the people that was in that was Eddie Carter. And how did he get there? When the battle of the bulge happened, we lost like 80,000 men and Eisenhower was like, we need resupplies. And that's when they finally decided to let black people join the fighting part of the war. They were like, It could take us like another year to get a bunch of white dudes over here.But we've got all of these brothers who are, it was born out of necessity. But when that happened, they, the generals, then the people that never wanted to integrate the army or let them have weapons were probably like, holy shit, no, you know, so, so Eddie Carter, Sergeant Eddie Carter, they said, you ready to fight?He was like, Sergeant Carter reported for duty. They go, it's cool. But you can't be Sergeant anymore because we can't have you outranking any white people. So fucking sick dude, just sick. Think about that. And you're worthy, but we're not letting you have it. He's like fucking, I'm going to go kill it. You still got to listen to the dishwasher.So Sergeant Carter was such a dedicated warrior. He was fighting fascism. He was fighting for freedom, right? He was fighting for equality, which is the principles that America claims the standard. That he was willing to demote himself so he could carry a rifle for uncle Sam and I did true American Patriot.Right? So he's one of the rifle men on these tank brigades and they're, they're, they're heading right to the heart of the Nazis. And he's out in the open now he's really trained well. And one of these tank brigades is going and they go towards this town called Spire. Spire is a small little town in the Rhineland.What's the Rhineland, that's the German, uh, wine country. That's the German like San Louis Obispo. Right. You know what I mean? Napa valley, Napa valley German, Napa valley, because the Rhine river goes by it. And so as a result, you've got a ton of warehouses in that area because they're storing wine and grapes and.Submachine gunfire fires at, and one of these 88 millimeter gun things fires at one of the tanks misses from one of the warehouses and the Americans fucking take cover right there. It was like, oh shit, we got shot at fucking machine guns, man. And they sit there and they get cut. So now everyone's like, what do we do?How we got it. We can't go any further on this road, but we got a timetable and that we don't know what's in those warehouses and Eddie, Eddie, Eddie Carter, volunteers to lead like five dudes to storm the warehouses and find out what the fuck is going on there. And these warehouses are on the other side.So they're in the trees, right? The Americans got up into the trees, try to figure out what's going on. There's the road, then there's nothing but about one football field of open space. And then the warehouses that's got the Germans in it. Right. And they got burp guns, which are the, those little German, M forties.Yeah. They got it. Mortar fire going off, hitting the lines. And they got somewhere around there and 88 millimeter. So Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Carter's like, all right, give me a Tommy gun. And a bunch of grenades. I got this. I was born for this. And they go, you bet, take them in with you or right behind ya. So Eddie and his dudes run right into the field.All of a sudden shots start firing out. Three of us, men are killed right off the bat and they realized the tanks. Didn't follow them into the field, near up at an observation. And we'll be right there. And they're like, well, we could just send them out and figure out where they're shooting from. Eddie Carter tells his other two guys.Go away. I got this. Eddie gets shot in the arm five times. Oh shit. And it goes down. There's a submachine gun somewhere behind one of the warehouse walls or whatever it is. He takes his phone grenade. He throws it in there, takes it, the entire machine gun nest out with one grenade. He gets back up and he's got his Tommy gun and he starts charging again.Again, he gets shot. He gets shot so hard. He gets knocked into the air. He falls down on the ground. He's been shot like six times now he's bleeding. He's shot. He's thirsty. He raises his canteen up to give himself a drink. Someone shoots it out of his hand, fucking pisses him off. He's fucking pissed. And he sits there and he's like, fuck it.And he gets up with his Tommy gun and he runs and like eight Germans come out shooting. And he kills all of them except two right shot, six times fucked up hand. Six Nazis to surrender, surrender to him, surrender to him. That's the way he throws another grenade at the mortar crew, knocks them out. He kills the mortar crew, and now I've got these two Nazis and he's like, fuck, nah.How do I any recognizes that one of the Nazis as an officer now, Carter bleeding says to himself, you know what? I speak German. If I can get these motherfuckers back to the American lines, I can find out where the rest of the German guns are up ahead and we can get there even faster. So while he's losing blood, he bugging grabs.These two Nazis uses them as human shields to go back across that open field injured. And as he's going back, two other guys come out with like pistols and they try to shoot at him. He fucking peels their caps. He's got these two guys because a fucking bad ass, bro. Finally. The 88 mortar or the ADA gun, the 88 millimeter gun dudes are like, we gotta fuck this dude up, man.So they fired a fucking 37 pound shell at him. It didn't hit him, but the fucking excuse made a, the explosion with the shrapnel shot up his legs. So he has to lean on his hostages, but because it was such a big explosion, there was a huge dusk. And Eddie Carter use that dust cloud and he would shoot. And he leaned on him and dragged their fucking punk ass.His back to the American lines. Now he's got the German and the German officer back in the Maryland lines. And now he's like, CEO's are like, Hey man, we gotta get you to the hospital. You lost, you been you're fucked up. And he was like, nah, not right now. We've got to interrogate these motherfuckers who here speaks German.None of you. I do. Okay. Hold on. And he interrogates them in German and he gets the information and he is quintessentially the linchpin to the American success in the fucking hit, Nazi, Germany and knocking out Hitler and all that other shit. Now, after all of that, they go now, will you go to the hospital?And he's like, sure, take me to the hospital. It goes to the hospital within two weeks, he's better. And he breaks out of the hospital and rejoins his fucking army and continues to fight the rest of the war and then goes back to LA. Now he goes back to LA. 'cause he's like, Hey, I'm a fucking hero. Right. I fought in world war II.We beat the fascists when he gets back to LA, he's nearly heartbroken because he's still not allowed to walk through the front door of a regular private business because he's black. It's disgusting. It's really, really discussing when you hear a story like this. That's what true American heroism patriotism.That's what it's all about. And he couldn't even have basic fucking human rights in the country that he did. Was willing to give his life for defended and, and help them be victorious. It's and you know what? This is a great story. And I think that that's one of the reasons about black history month that should, these stories should come out because so many, I didn't know about Juma is going to bring out the stories every black history month.Right. And I think it, I think it's great. I think it's a really, really great man. I, I, this is this guy, Eddie Carter, man, Eddie Carter, who wouldn't. I know this story until now. So this guy is a true American hero. Came back. Racism was not fixed back in America. He re-enlisted in the army. They made him a trainer.And in fact, Eddie Carter, they asked him to build the first national guard here in California in LA, and he built it and he trained those dudes. He's responsible for that. He doesn't get any recognition. They gave him the distinguished service cross at the time. It's the second highest. Metal you could get, but they would not give him a medal of honor because he was black.That was why they wouldn't because he was black. Right. Even though he was more deserving than probably most on it listed the color of his skin. And he was a career soldier. Okay. So he had planned on staying in the army forever. When he got back, he got a hero's welcome from the people around, but he was being surveilled by the FBI.What, Hey, now listen, a person like that. With those skills, with that knowledge, I could totally see why people in the FBI would consider him dangerous.It's disgusting, but they even put him, they took him out of the national guard. He didn't want him training anymore and black people on how to use soldier equipment. So they put them on. In Washington, where he was part of the military police and he was doing drug busts, he, and every place that he went, by the way, all of the white people that were leaders above him, loved him and respected his soldiery.He would spend an hour and a half just cleaning his equipment every day do was fucking disciplined and Ty, and he had a family yet sons. Right? And this thing about him being suspicious, grew into them, worried about the fact that he had fought in China and that may be come, might have a communist sympathy.And so when they, they, they kicked him out of being able to be in the military. And when he tried to re-enlist, he was denied. And when he tried to re-enlist and was denied, he went through every. White black, whatever to help them. And they all, everybody who knew him knew he was a solid dude and they all tried to help him and the government and the army would not give him a fair hearing and explain their reasons for not allowing him to re-enlist.He eventually was broken and bitter. He wrote letters to, uh, the presidents, Eisenhower and all those other people and said, you know, I fought for all this stuff only to come back and have it all taken when you know what fascism isn't dead, it's alive and well here in this country. And eventually he came back to LA any work the rest of his days at a tire shop and died 48 from lung cancer, Jesus Christ.And in 1996, finally right here. They contact his family and they say, we want to award him to metal on after he's gone posthumously. And it was kinda around the time that bill Clinton had gotten into some trouble. And I think he was trying to, you know, uh, I can't believe what happened. Well, that's, that's fucking sad, but think of everything he did, he died at 48 about the life span, man, 48.Yeah. I mean, I don't believe, you know what man, Eddie Carter, that's somebody who, you know, that's an American American hero hero. Thank you for your service west side LA and LA. Wow. Thank you.

If I look at this versus something else, it turns into something that, oh me. Oh, it's a paranoid freak out for me, man. I can't even look at these loads. Paranoid freak out. Hey Mr. D now let's stop the bullshit. Let's cut right down to it.What's up? Who would he find? Bitches that are in your video, bro? Come on. What? Tell me about the video. Shit. Don't stop. I got to ask my manager that one, cause even with a book, we just picked up some ladies from Italian. You know what I mean? They're good. Good looking chocolate in there. Like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.We had to, we had to get most, both of them all mixed up. You know, we have. Well close, man. Listen, listen, listen. I'm married. So it doesn't matter anymore, but I'll tell you right now when I go to Baskin-Robbins I ordered a double Dutch shot. You feel what I'm saying? Lose this chick right here. Uh, she's fine.Who's that? Rubbing her thighs. Hey look, Mr. D Mr. D right here. Okay. So, all right, hold on over there. Oh, that's Terminator. That's Terminator Terminator. He's making plans fucking around. Listen, let me tell you. First, uh, just so Mr. And Mrs. Earbuds can follow along. This is Mr. D's new shit. It's on YouTube. You can get it other places it's called shit.Don't stop it. Right. Okay. So now, unlike other fucking whack ass podcasts and bullshit, we got the actual artist here and the manager, we're going to fucking walk through this video motherfucker. I want to know what's the real. I wasn't ready for this shit.it's called hard luck. Not easy. So wait a second. So right now, dude, it looks like you're in like a bunker bro. And you're like, fucking you're fucking staring at a wall and it looks like a planet. Like, what was, did you get direction? Like what is the concept here, bro? Well, we were mainly targeting towards, uh, the whole idea as in like we're looking for the person, like we're directing this to, well, I initially didn't really target this to anybody because I actually wrote it for her homie that, um, his homeboy passed away on like around December.So it was when I wrote this. So, um, I kind of wrote it as like, for him to be all like, like, oh, it's a tribute for him. You know what I mean? So when this came about, I was kind of like, okay, like how can I manipulate it towards. Um, I'm angry. I'm, I'm sort of like, I'm looking for somebody in light, like this, these tier jobs I'm talking about, they're going to get, you know, what I mean events for.So we were kind of going for that, that idea, you know what I mean? Like, like, all right. We're we're, we're on the hunt. We're re how do you put it up? That's loaded guns loaded. It's like you're in there. Right. And then where's this film, cause it looks like you're like in a bunker and there's like monitors and all these fucking wires who designed the set for that.Uh, what was it called? I'm not sure what it's called, but we rented a studio then. And, uh, that's where we got all the footage from. Right. And then I'm like looking at it and it looks like somebody that's like, like, not really like FBI or CIA, but they're fucking looking on a man hunt. We got surveillance cameras everywhere, looking for people, spotting that one person we're going to.Yeah. Then you got like a fun bitch, fucking typing in your data entry for Columbia. Oh, because she looked like she's looking at it at that Porter Porter. No, watch this.the prop guns. That's a prop gun that looked like it. Seen some props. Hey bro. Do you see why this guy is going to be the supermax lookbook guy? Dude, look at the way he's looking at what is that? Is that a newsy or a Mac? Ten one? Is that? No, no, that's a Hosey right there. And you're looking at it. You're looking at the Uzi, like with a Debo you're like, motherfucker, this thing is going to be fucking blast.Did you hit weed before? After all of my scenes right there all, when I'm sober, I try to take my. Uh, visual appearance as serious as I can. Cause, you know, as I, as they say, like any movement with your eyes, like fluttering or anything, they'll notice it, you know? So that's why I try to take more precaution with that for an actor.All right. And who is working with props and making it real? How did you, what was your method for staring at this gun? Like a stone cold. That's easy. I just, I just kind of. Try to kick him my little flashback mode, right. Until like when I was going through my little things and my little molds, I tried to apply it to that.You know what I mean? As best as I could, you know what I mean? Yeah. I love that. So you like, so they call that sensory recall. That's what this fucking high-minded fucking actors over in Beverly Hills, they call it sensor. So you went back to some shit and you were like, only bring the shit to the front.I'm going to stare at this gun with some shit. I'm going to make a fucking killer. And that means dope, bro. All right. Okay. Now you're gonna have to explain this black. I got to tell you I got my attention right there. He's not lying. No, ain't no form of disrespect towards anybody now, but before her and juggle beaver man.So I knew as soon as I saw this, I go and I first, going to love this video. Oh, bro. I look at like a black woman like that. It's beautiful, but looking fierce, like she could fucking eat a kiss. You or cut you and I'm in bro. Oh man. I like that. Hey, they did that eight. Good bro. They did that. Ain't good. That ain't like the right side.That things always cleared a picture.it in on that one. And then it's like, he's like in a red room and now he's got, now you got to shotgun. Mr. D why do you have a shotgun and a, and a black chick? Well, the shotgun was actually, it was, it was just there, you know what I mean? Just to put it there, but. I actually try to, like, I that's actually my favorite gun to keep it real.You know what I mean? Cause it, it, it puts a hole in somebody, you know what I mean? You could walk through them, you know what I mean? Like that's type shit. You know what I mean? But with the female, I actually love that part. That shit was actually pretty tight. You know what I mean? Cause it shows that because one thing, a lot of people get wrong is that.People think that my type of people, like, you know what I mean? Like, as people who are coming from my area, we just like a certain race, you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. That's what I'm trying to break. I'm trying to break those type of barriers. You know what I mean? Like trying to make everybody understand that it's more than just how people look, you know?Yeah, man. That's what the D stands for. And Mr. Lee dream, I also, you know what, man, and I think that is part of the reason. Uh, you're here on the show, man. It's just where, where you guys are, where your, where your thoughts, how, how you guys move and your vision, which Jeffrey, I get to spend more time talking with you actually.And then D but, uh, it seems you're just on it, man. It's just another thing that I think separates you from the pack. I think it was, you're not even really trying. It's just that that's you, that's you and, and it's, it's it defines it. I think it was just trying to reach goals to reach the mass. Right. And like equally, I think everybody in his role as equal the same era, same mouth or just different skins.Right. But inside we're all the same. But do you hear new music you're bound to like attract you're going to attract an audience? That's true. I don't mean to interrupt, but it definitely also feels like in some of our conversation, the current. Understanding of breaking a stereotype or a mole, right? Like, right.It's I mean, for me, it is, and I'm not trying to put that on you, but when we talk, we meet at that place of like an old stereotype and we're so much more than. A clown dancing around with his socks, pulled up in front of low riders, the old he's like, look, I love all these and that, but I think I know that we're so much more man.And, and I love it when I see things put out that really, I don't know, break that old. I think we are. I mean, now it's, you're talking about generations and generations, right? Like. I mean, we have attorneys, we have all types of like other careers paths that our people have gotten a hold of. Right. So we're not just those clouds of like, with the socks up and dancing around, likewith him. Like the way he speaks, the way he . He's good. Like, I mean, he has it, we just got to get it out there to the masses and then you're nodding your head. Yeah, no, I, I agree. I think it's right on. And I think that the fact that you guys focus on that and move that way. Genuinely we'll serve you so well, going forward in reaching the masses because there seems to be, as it should be many more conscious people these days and people that are actually, they can even digest the thought of somebody who is, is, is unique and don't speak to everybody.So I think it's. I think it is through, you know, and I think it's not it's you can't. I also cute. Can't go without at least acknowledging the fact that you guys like this, this cat rolls around with his older homeys. He's older homeys are about, um, professional business and they're, they're kind of like, you know, they're, they've got his back and the intentions are, are clear and, um, And a lot of guys don't have that.They don't have somebody out looking out for them. And if they do, are they really looking out for their best interests? And in this case, it's like, and he listens dude. Like he says, he able to take stuff in and listen and get out of his own way. And I think a lot of. Is maybe somebody getting out of their own fucking way.I think, I think I'm in a position where I put myself through, I guess all my life I've worked really hard. And then I really don't need a lot of stuff in life. Right. I got everything I need. So I just want to see him win at the end of the day. That's my goal is to see him win as long as he wins. I win. So I think as, as a big homie, I have to take that.I got to, got to take that to heart because I've seen so many homies fucking cracked out or whatever, out in the street. And we talked about, and then in the young homie, a bag of dope, you know, I mean, I'm not going to give him a fucking gun. Like I'm going to give him a fucking book and be like, Hey dog, what do you need to get your shit?Right. If I got to pay for college, then fuck it. I'll pay for college. I mean this guy's not just blowing smoke. These are what these guys are about, man. And that I'm not hearing enough of. Go ahead. Wait, wait, before you go. Just y'all. Fuck. Let me, let me fucking ask Mr. D you here, you've been sitting here and listening to the older folks.Talk about blah, blah. What's it like for you as an artist to hear the conversations going on around you and you sort of taking that in what's your. It's more to the point where I got to try to keep up to it. You know what I mean? Um, as in, I need to keep, uh, I need to keep myself aware that I have a certain responsibility and a certain goal that I have to help achieve, you know, cause I definitely didn't get here by myself, you know, cause I tell everybody around me every, every single time that I can at least, you know, that I, I pretty much always to everybody around me more than.The other way around, you know, cause it, it wouldn't, it wouldn't make sense for me to say that my ability of lyricism technically erupted all of this, you know what I mean? Like it's more as a positive thinking in a positive energy and the, uh, I want to say the ambition and the hopes that people have in each other is what got everybody here.You know what I mean? And that's what I feel like I got to make myself be aware every time I step up and step out into the. Excuse me. And I try to do anything right there, like destruction wise, you know what I mean? Like, and I try to do something that'll damage what we built, you know what I mean? You know, big Lux.What are you, what is your, what do you hear when you hear Mr. D talk about his experience or what he thinks his responsibility? Um, I think he, I think he, I think he, he gets it. I want to say, I don't even know if that's the right way to answer it. Like, obviously he's, he's taking heat and he's listening to the people around him, but he's also smart enough to know that the people around him just because they're older and have wisdom, everything they tell him ain't gonna be right.Either because they're just another human being, trying to figure it out at the end of the day. Right. But, and you have enough of. I think people either are just like, fuck it. I am doing what I want. Fuck it. Or I'm going to go all in and listen to everything they're saying. But like, but to be able to have a, you know, have people looking out for you and you be able to understand what you're taking from it and staying open to understanding more, I think, uh, yeah, he is man.Oh, I just, I I've just witnessed and seen a lot of misguidedness and I just really also see when you start mixing people that come from places like where we come from and. Entertainment celebrity, that type of stuff gets, can get very, very convoluted and very weird and gray real quickly, bro. And it, there's almost an art to being able to navigate through that.And um, and I feel like these guys are genuine and they're aware of that. They're aware of a lot of what I'm talking. Now, right ideas. So, Jeff, what are some of the difficulties or challenges let's say, or things that you gotta be smart about when working with like Mr. D and trying to look out for his interests and all the other stuff, what things have you encountered where you're like, man, it takes a second pair of eyes to help navigate this.I think it's more like trying to make the music part. That's the been like the, really the hard part. Right? Like explain that. It's just, I don't know. Trying to get songs done and then trying not to get fucked at the end. Right? Like it's like, we, we, I think we want everybody to be at the same plane level.Right? Like you get paid, we get paid, everybody gets paid. Right. And it seems like so far, it hasn't been that way. It seems like it's, it's been really, like, it's been really fucked up, but you don't have to give any names or anything, but what about some signs to a younger artists that's out there that maybe doesn't have the benefit of managing.It does say to like it, a guy shows up with no money, but a bit a pound of Coke go the other way. Like what, what, what can a young artists kind of see where they can start smelling like this? And on the up and up, you see the science man, what are they like? Just, they tell you things in the things don't happen, right?Like they tell you they're going to bring this to you and they don't bring it to you. It's just, I dunno. I think it's more like, I can't explain. It's like, it's it's you, you see the signs. It's like, I don't know. It's like, I see the fucking signs, like, all right, you're fucking with me. Like, I'm not gonna fuck with you no more.Know what I mean? And you're just experiencing life, I guess. Sure. I think that's what it is. Experience in life. Like you hear people talk and you hear them say certain things and they don't come through. It's like, strike one. You just taking a mental note of that. I take, I take a lot of mental notes. I take three strikes.I keep people. That's what I do. I told him, I give you three strikes, man. Like you told me once. All right, cool. Twice already. The third time, I'll tell, I'll be like, you want me a dog? You going to come through or not? And if it doesn't come through, then the forefront I'm out ice. I don't take, I don't like to deal with.And it's been like that in this industry where you tell people, Hey, you know what I mean? You are, we're going to do this and you do your part. And then they don't do their part. And you're like, fuck me. Like, I'll take one strike. And then the next thing you know, now I'm out. Uh I'm from what I've read, right.I've been reading about the history of NWA and I've been reading about all this stuff, right? I gotta tell you, man, the music industry seems full of bullshit, man. It's it's a Savage industry. I'll tell you that much. Like, I dunno, like I worked in the, I make cosmetics as living right for the past, like 14 years old, like, like a junior chemist.So what's the name of the company? Oh, cosmetic labs of America and shots were shout out to them for employing me for 14 years. Yeah, she's right. Hey man. Shout out to them that they got you, dude, because I looked at the balance sheet and I saw that since they hired her, they raised, they doubled every year.Yeah. So, you know what I mean? Like I've seen the business through like, just the way they carry themselves as far as like putting like contracts out. Like it's, everything's on a timely fashion, right? Like if you don't get shit done at a time, you find that you get fined by the company. You gotta pay them now.So to me, it's like swats put that in our bylaws. Like I'm paying you to come through with some shit. You better come through it. Like you don't have you better come through or else, like, it's like, I'm gonna find you. So that's the way I look at life. Like if I do something for you and you told me you gonna do something for me, then you better come through or there's going to be a fine at the end of.You know, what's funny too, is a lot of times w what I seem to run into is that I got a lot of friends who won't be RA. First of all, I got a lot of friends that won't be right. Now Mr. Mrs. Earbuds, Jeff demands your smile with like one half of his mouth, like a knowing fucking smile. Like yeah, I know I got, right, right.Hey, Mr. D like how many people do you guys run into that are like, I won't be around. I'm an up and coming rapper. Here's my fucking shit. You build little shit too many, too many, right. And the thing that's interesting about it is, is that you said finished the music, finished the song, right? I mean, oh, blue eyes.Do we know anybody in common where we've spent about a decade trying to get that dude to finish a song? No, no. Right. Listen, man, if you want first getting on the ground level, Jeff of managing king salmon, I got his information for you. Don't do that. Don't come up. I don't want to do that now. I don't know, dude.I mean, we got guys on fucking salmon over where he's at salmon salmon. Dammit. Don't intermix salmon in the. Yeah, you put a salmon in what has shocked the shotgun to eat enough water in the valley for the welcome back base dreaming only on peacock. Can't wait to start. Junior year saved by the bell is back and taking school spirit.Our Bibles just destroyed our mascot. We're going to crush valley to the max. If we don't learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it. That's how we have all these reboots of teen Charles from the. You had a new idea. Hollywood saved by the bell new season screaming. Now let's do this baby only on peacock.Hi, I'm Randy. And this is Dave we're the founders of Bombus the most comfortable socks in the history of feet. So comfortable. We sold and donated millions of pairs to sell and donate a lot of socks. We became obsessed with comfort. We reinvented the sock from the ground up, adding comfort innovations alone.It worked. People tried them, loved them, told their friends about them, helping us sell it, donate millions of pairs. Try them now at bombas.com/comfy and get 20% off your first order. That's B O M B a s.com/comfy. Got it. So, um, Uh, so how, what gets in the way? Cause, cause at the end of the day, when a lot of these folks come through, it's like, wait a second.Do you even, I know you got a good idea for a song. I know, you know, a cool little sample that you thought would be cool in a song. They got all these little pieces that might even be good ideas, but they don't come with a complete song, a finished motherfucking product. Mr. D what is the. Oh, executing and finishing a mother fucking song.Well, it's kind of like, it's, I want to give out like a small piece of my formula, but like, this is how I do it. This is how I do it. Right. I kind of visualize it as a, as in like I'm writing sort of a play or something like that. I'm sort like it's sort of a, I'm trying to bring a movie into real life.That's how I kind of look at it. Right. So if I'm talking to. The studio, right. And how I got to the studio, I'm going to evolve every single thing from the studio, from my destination. Right. From my house, the sidewalk, the street, the people on it, the car is right there. The sounds, the environment, you know what I mean?And then how I got to the studio and when I got there, what it made me feel like, and all of the things that I saw, how did that snowball into what I, what I just did. So, you know what I mean? Like that's, that's the best way I can try to give it to the people without physically doing it in front of me.Right. It's just, it really just depends how good you are at jumping from one topic to the other and making it all connect. Well. So the thing is, is that I'm hearing though, is that that's your process for finishing the song, but there's a discipline that goes along with finishing anything. Oh yeah. Right.What's your strategy or what do you do to keep yourself motivated to finish anything that you started? Uh, sort of putting in my mind. Um, today, I'm going to be the first rapper to finish a whole song, at least in one day sitting down like, cause I'll try my best not to leave my chair. You know what I mean?I know, I know a lot of people done it before me, but I like to put it in my mind sort of to motivate me and sort of to like, be like, okay, I got slipped in to show my manager later on in the night. You know what I mean? Cause the more songs we pile up and we don't put out, like it's cool with me. But as long as that, I know that I'm putting out something that people.Like they like, but they can't hear, it keeps me pumped up at the same time. You know what I mean? Like how can I explain it? Uh, uh, recently I had written a song that I feel like it was probably my best shit lately. You know what I mean? However, seeing as I can't show too many people, like it, it kind of holds me back.I mean, I could show you guys know, but I mean like, like, like everybody in general, you know what I mean? Like, it kinda makes me think like, how can I know I'm getting. If a lot of people don't hear it, you know what I mean? Like that's the thing, you know, and a lot of people don't really like to give their, their, their hard input on it because they fear that all I, what if he has some horseshoe later in the future and he doesn't want to show me because of the opinion I give them.You know what I mean? Like, some people do think like that, believe it or not. I agree with, you know, I'm surrounded by a lot of people like that, not here, but in other areas. Yeah. I listened to them now. I'm like, okay, that sounded like a political fucking answer. I don't sound like a real motherfucker. Jeff, what, from a manager standpoint, do you do to motivate D do you have like different things that you think about, or do you, are there times where you gotta remind him and say, We're doing this for, this is bigger than this.We're going. Oh. Or D I mean, has you come in with something and you just like punched a fist through the wall? Cause it was so dope. You were like, you know, I gotta get Savage. Nah, I don't think I've heard is dope. Is. To be honest. I think he still has more coming. Damn. I straight up, I think, I think once we get inside of like a room and really like sit down and make music with someone like, like I'm talking about 12 hour shifts.Yeah. Like I think that's when you really going to see this kid, like spit shit and like, he's going to move like the crowd. You haven't heard it yet, man. Believe me. You haven't heard it yet. Cause sometimes I trip out on the stuff that I hear like you, cause I'll tell them, maybe write something and then by end of the night I have like almost a full song.Right. And I'll hear him speak. And I just like, damn, I got to hear it again and again and again. And I can't because I don't have enough time in the fucking day to get in again and again, us through over to go see mugs, I'll probably bring you with me alone. I'm going to, we're going to go on, I'm going to walk him into the studio Brawny.That's how I think that's, that's like the biggest problem right now. Cause I know like there's, there's a lot there, man. Like this is from the music industry. From the music industry standpoint, we just had a discussion about. There's a lot of nostalgia right now, like set like, like 95% of the music that's being picked up by these digital platforms.And streamers is all old music and like only 5% of the music's new. Are you guys running into like, like, like it doesn't make sense, but somehow there's been a kind of a slowly gripping down on new music. Yeah. I'm actually, I've actually read that. I want to say like a couple of days ago when it came out, like in the Atlantic.Yeah. Yeah. I read that too. It was actually tripping me out because, cause it, it makes sense though. Cause I find myself more finding more older music and playing that more opposed to the new music. You know what I mean? Cause it's just something about. Like, I guess if you want to put it in a poetic perspective, the atmosphere within that song.Right. It's just sounds, it sounds different. You know what I mean? Like, it doesn't sound computerized. It doesn't sound fake. That's the thing. True. Like fucking Fleetwood Mac or even, um, the fuck is that skinny white dude that just died. That does all the don't come around here no more. And what the fuck is that?Guy's name? And Tom petty even, right. They make these atmospheric, I mean, whether or not he's a good song, I don't know. But the vibe that they create is really unique and interesting. Right. But that doesn't come from a digitized situation. It's all like live it's it's live instruments with live lyrics.Yeah. To put it like that, you know what I mean? Most people don't look at it like that. They just look at it. Like we got to put something out right now. Right. Then, you know, cause it's all. It will appeal to the people, but does it really appeal to you? You know what I mean? That's the real question. That is the real, and you know, what's interesting that we're going here and this might be the first podcast in history to ever have a discussion with a hip hop artist and bring up the grateful dead.Okay. Right now you're hearing it right the fuck now, Mr. Mr. All right. You're probably sitting there thinking some of you, young motherfuckers are probably like who the fuck is the grateful dead, but the grateful dead going with your live theory, Mr. D right. The grateful dead made their fucking money and their fucking lard, Jess and their fucking reputation, not on studio albums.What they did was they did more live shows than anybody else. And there was an, uh, con uh, an economy created a marketplace created because they allowed anyone to come to their concert and record it. Yeah, right. Think about that. And that was the currency among Deadheads. I actually knew this guy had been on with the grateful dead for 10 years.They had, he had like boxes of tapes, bro, from live shows and that was currently. Out on tour, they'd be like, oh, you write this show in fucking Illinois like this. And they would trade tapes. They was gold to them. So, no, no, no, no. I I'm going to come out of that. They would have labels that said like Cincinnati, 1979.14. And I said tape and exactly. And everybody in that whole following would know that that was one of the craziest shows and no song was the same. Right. That was the key. It was never sung the same way. Right. Exactly. And so. So, what I'm saying is that goes with your concept of the live theory of like what you're hearing in these, in these, in these older albums is an interaction that's specific and can't be reproduced.Exactly. Yes. Exactly. But I, it makes sense to me though, too, because in your sound, I hear like nineties arrow, rap. I hear your flow. That's how, which I look at the golden era rap. Like that's, that's when I first really felt that I asked you something on that, just on that, like the answer me, this riddle me, this riddle me, this my young, um, you, you.There was a point in time in my life at a certain age that I dressed very similar to the way you currently dress right size 50 twos and crease down my laces and like, and you on a regular basis, kind of bring that back there. I don't see a lot of guys your age really. So meticulously, like you really, really have either studied or saw it close to you enough to really get it right.Cause I paid I'm a clothing guy, so I was paying attention to it. The whole time is, do you, do you. Almost paying tribute to that. Is that just the style you like, or do you feel like you're walking around in a time zone? Like how, how does that come to be such an important and, and that you get it so correctly, right?Or is all that coming from? I feel like all of you book. You know, um, because for one, it definitely is a tribute because all of the older homies around me, you know, they always tell me about their good memories and all the good times, you know, and I want to experience the good times because the good times now are so good, you know, so pretty much I, it's kinda like I'm putting myself in their, in their era and I'm trying to emulate what they experienced.You know what I mean? Even though I can't, obviously, you know what I mean? It's difficult. You know what I mean? I've tried, trust me, like, I've went on tagging sprees on fucking, you know, all these others reason you don't like it. It got to the point where I kinda, like, I kinda lost myself in trying to search, uh, this, this time.You know what I mean? That was already moved on. You know what I mean? It was kinda like searching for that LA that last spec, uh, of that sand from that, from the, what do you call it? The hourglass, you know what I mean? And it would use it. You couldn't flip it anymore. When, uh, when I just started getting deeper and deeper into it, I just started, like, I figured more as an, um, I try to bring the style back, but at the same time, it was more as in like it started becoming me, you know what I mean?It was a more. Oh, I'm gonna just throw on this Ben David shirt. And it's just, it's a shirt night. More people look at his end. Like, that's your look, that's what you got to beat us. That's who you are. You know what I mean? Like, it'll be more as, than you, you look like a ghost. The second you take that off, you know what I mean?Like, like, uh, damn, I'm not good with names, but, um, well, you know, when Superman transformed Clark car, Oh, it's the same thing. You know what I mean? The second I take off my thinking cap is the second night, you know, let me see, let me, let me see about, understand this, that this, in a sense is your Superman outfit, cause you said Clark Kent or is that not right?Yeah. I fucking love that fucking thing. We need to fucking make a comic book about Mr. Diaz. I agree. I'm not fucking, he's not fucking around it. I'm not. And I agree with you a thousand percent brother. Yeah. I'm writing out a whole scene because Manny's been on me about writing. Right. And I wrote out this whole beginning scene of this TV show, this series and the whole thing.It's him as I'm writing, it's all D doing all of it. He's like the character I was telling him about it, man. I just, he has that about him, bro. So much more than music. It's charisma. Yeah. You can't like, there's only one of this guy I've only met one of them, you know, and that shit shines through it.Whether you put a can of tuna in his hand, you're going to see it, you know, like he. Right. You know, that's all that's even when you're taking pictures of this guy. Yeah. He knows. He knows how even how to do that. You know, some people that just natural, it's just natural. We saw some of those picks with the, uh, the cookies gear.Absolute favorite. So tight man. Thank you, Michael Angelois saying, I will say this. Shout out the cook and shout the burn that guy. Particular about who he posts or woke, that's posted up bro. And you know, it's, uh, Mike's photography is just it. And I mean, everybody got behind the, those photos bro, and everybody comment. A lot of people that didn't know you were inquisitive started following.Um, a lot of people I know. What I see in D cookies for having us. I appreciate that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're representing right now. Jeff cookies had on me. I went a little shopping spree. Yeah. It was dope. I think real recognize real, you know, real recognize real man. That's I appreciate it a whole lot. You take a picture.Go ahead. Jumaan did you, were you gonna say something? No, I I'm. I'm letting it just flow to what's. What's going on when you projects right now, tell us about what what's coming out. What can the people, the listeners look out for and. Right now we actually got an autobiography coming up and we'll yeah.Stop that lack of written autobiography, like visual autobiography of his younger life when he was newborn to like a certain, maybe like thinking about like junior high kind of stage and then leaving that gap open for maybe later on, like we, we catch up and we'd do something during that era. Okay. Hold on.So is it. It's from actual footage from when you were young girl minute, we're going to be like doing somewhat of a, an interview almost. You know what I mean? We're going to be throwing like old pictures of myself and my family. You know what I mean? Like just like dubbing it over, you know what I mean?Like a documentary. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Can burn civil war, but it's going to be Mr. D and my fucking shit. Yeah. Fucking love that. Right. That's what I said. I fucking love that. Like, wait, what you, what kind of jam? What little secret find out from the fucking origin story and Mr. D telling you like, wait, what are we going to find out as a newborn, as a newborn, as a newborn.That's a pretty, when that doctor tried to cut the umbilical cord, it was more than that. It's like, I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. A good explanation of why I felt so fitted in big clothes is because I was born premature.Yup. Yeah. You feel comfortable with all that. That makes sense about that doc, about that that's psychologically psychoanalytically. That fucking makes sense. How was the press psychological warfare was a premium homes. I was fucking in big clothes from day one while you were wearing diapers, that thing.all the way back. I was posting a picture of you guys. I could see like, Mr. Dean is like, I was born too late, but I was also born premature. Wrap your mind around that mother fucker. Oh yeah. Right, right. I love that. What is there? Jeff? Is there so music. Singles anything next we're going to drop a, another, uh, another remake.So we call it a remixes. Right? So we have another remix we're gonna drop pretty soon. Maybe think about next week or next two weeks or you are. Yeah. And after that, we're thinking about dropping a single, just him like Richard. Okay. Nice. All right. Who is producing the beat? Um, what's the name of the guy we don't know yet.Like we haven't signed contracts, so I can't say anything. No shit. Yeah. So, I mean, but we're actively looking though. We're actively looking to make more music. Hey, listen, I'm going to follow through with what I'm talking about doing and see how we can start. Well, we got to drop something original. Like we were really looking for that original sound.Like he had something coming like. It's in the wall sliding. Cause we want to do those 12 hour shifts in the, in the studio. I got the cafe, I got vacation time. You know what I mean? So they'll use that. I'll do that. I got, I got.I can get a whole six weeks. I might have to work 10 days, 10 years after that, but I'm going to make it happen now. Listen, we've all talked. Our talk. We've all walked our walk. Mr. Old blue eyes. I'm asking you, what do you got to say? Listen, listen from a production stand point. Yeah. W in, in, given Mr. D. What would your sick twisted fucking music mind do with something like what Mr.D's got. And can you possibly produce some music to let's? Let's let's first hear what? The sick fuck. This musical sick. Fuck. Rocky liked that. He liked it. He is. He's a sick man. He's yeah, he's a darkly crazy music, man. What would you, what would the max he's not upset looking at? Oh, what would I do? I would do exactly what lucky was talking about and bring him to mugs because let me tell you something.From what I hear, uh, mugs just dusted off at an old nineties beat for rigs, for rigs and a joint. So I'm sure, I'm sure I'm 100% sure he's sitting on some fucking fire. And if it's classic, I mean, right. That's who's going to hark back to that era more than this guy, Mr. De. Right. Right. So I think that the artillery and the firepower that mugs can bring with that guy on, on the track would be fucking magical.I agree with that 30 years of friendship, I'm saying this on air, go here. Years of friendship. How many guys have I brought in to mugs to see monks? How many rappers? Zero. Zero. I ain't never brought nobody in. I've never said, Hey, I'm bringing somebody in that. I knew that I'd like you to meet work with.And you know, but as I said, I've only met one of you. And I, I believe in you, dude, I already see it happening. We're going to help put the pieces together. Now the absolutely. Absolutely. I see it every day. I love it, man. Let's let's uh, you know, we want an opportunity to be able to sneak preview anything you got at the hard luck show.We want opportunities to always support. Have you on this is an open door for you. So, and a platform that I want you, uh, to utilize. I challenge you, you like, and, and a platform for people to get to know you, right? Understand your values, the principles by which you operate your artistic visions. You see what I mean?Because I'm going to tell you something, man, a lot of artists, you might see one or two things, but I think the real power comes from. Being able to really understand and know the ground, the background, the fucking theory, all that stuff from what you emanate from. And that's where passion that sorta passion is.And then you got that and I'm going to say this, and maybe Steve, you can fucking check me. Well, I'm going to say is if we're getting to that place where it's time to, is it, are we, where are we at? Um, we should, we need to wrap up. Okay. So instead of going out how we normally go out, I want to go out with Mr.D. Yep. All right, so I'm going to pull Mr. D shit back up and, uh, I want to say this. I want to say super. Can you get supermax@maxhardwareatwwwsupermaxhardware.com. Get some cookies, get some vibes paper, go download and listen to Mr. D. You guys need to do that. Hey, where did they go to download and listen to Mr.D he can find you on YouTube. Mr. D M R dot D E and more D E E E. And make sure that it's not the one for Southland. Cause a lot of people do confuse me with them, but. That's um, I want to say, uh, I'm gonna have a page up, uh, in the next couple of months where all of my music is going to be folded up, so it could be a lot more easy to access.Cause I know some people say that, uh, YouTube kind of gives them issues or whatever. So if it's not that, then it'll be up on Spotify in the next couple of weeks as well. But we'll be coming up with some big projects in the next couple of months. Hopefully everybody keeps waiting and we'll blow up soon enough patients, man, they gotta be patient because you're not dealing with some, no ham, but rubber neck bullshit.Good things. Good things.

So good to have you on the podcast today.  Tami: Great to be  Sarah: with you. Wonderful. You are like one of these voices that I could listen to all day long. You have this just like, I dunno. It like it's anchored and it's calm. I was just like, oh, I feel so good when I hear your voice. Do you ever get that? Like, do other  Tami: people tell you, well, I'm glad you like it. Not all people respond positively. I have received a mail that says things like, sounds like you work at a mortuary in your, have you smoked too much hash before you start speaking? So there's, you know, there's a full spectrum of responses. But I also enjoy your voice, Sarah. It's a sweet and gentle. So it's. Yeah, we like each other's voices. What a great way to start.  Sarah: Yeah. And it's funny. Cause just on my walk today, I heard this on another podcast that I think there's a book about it. That the [00:01:00] S the voice contains the soul of the person. And I, I tend to agree with that. There's a lot of things that you can probably tell out of someone's voice. So it's interesting, especially when. Podcasting day and age, you know, we really find like we get to know someone by just listening to them.  Tami: Sure. And I think some people are more sensitive. And have that kind of voice intuition where you can really feel and sense a lot of someone's presence from their voice. Some people are really sensitive to that sounds like you're one of those people. Yeah. Yeah. I,  Sarah: yeah. I identify as an HSP, so maybe that's part of it. Yeah. So we're not here to talk about voice or voice coaching or anything like that. I'd like to start in 1985, because that's when you started your, your business, your company sounds true. And I'm just kind of like blown away, but by that idea that you started. Back in the [00:02:00] day and already then it had to do with spirituality. And so I'm curious whether back then, and you can talk, you know, tell us about the story, but, but the question is like, if back then already. You kind of had the feeling sometimes that you were ahead of your age, like, like, did this feel like you are going against the grain or were you, was there places where you just walked in and you were welcomed with open arms? Tami: Okay. Well, you know, I wasn't really looking so much at the outer landscape at that point in my life. I was just 21 years of age and I was deeply connected to. With my inner process, which was a process that had a lot of desperation and anguish that was fueling it. And the desperation and anguish came from having dropped out of college. Even though I loved learning that's my [00:03:00] nature is to learn, learn, learn, but there was something about the academic environment. It wasn't the kind of learning. That was a vital to me, the kind of learning that was vital to me had to do with direct experience and discovery and the inner journey of knowing what happens when we die. Is there any way to discover that and how could I know in my own experience, those kinds of questions. So I had a lot of existential. Foment inside of me that I was in touch with that brought me out of academia and brought me into, okay. Is there a way for me to actually use this love of learning? To make a contribution in the lives of other people and possibly even have a job. So that was kind of what was going on inside of me. And there was no ready-made seat at the table. This was far before the whole idea [00:04:00] of mindfulness and meditation was popular, but I was coming from the inside wanting to make a contribution using this love of learning. That is so intrinsic to me. And  Sarah: it was it always, because now you talk a lot about spirituality in life and work. I think that is when I look at some other spiritual teachers that. How I see you differently that you have this focus also on the professional lives that we all or most of us lead. Was that always a priority or was it first like, no, let me get to know myself and let, let me kind of spread the word about that first. Tami: Well, I never had. Active interest in business. As a young person, I was interested in something, you know, I thought spiritual wisdom. Social change and art, something like that altogether business. [00:05:00] I saw some other kind of thing, but yet I quickly discovered that I am a team player. I like working with other people and that as a solo operator, I could only get so much done. I could only have so much impact. I could only reach so many people and I wanted to have a greater reach. And so before you knew it, I was working with the. And before you knew it, that team grew. And then it became really important to me that the products and the process of our work were coherent, that the process would reflect the values that were embedded in the products. And so before you knew it, there. Doing a lot of reflection and then writing and speaking about the whole topic of, well, okay. How do we make the workplace a congruent environment with the greatest spiritual principles of, you know, the, the [00:06:00] mystics of all times? Who weren't applying their writing and thinking to a for-profit business, but we can, and we must, if we're going to feel whole inside ourselves as sounds true as an operation. So that's kind of how it evolved.  Sarah: So if you compare then, or even, you know, the nineties to today, Do you see more readiness in the business world to look at these topics and work with these topics?  Tami: Do you see? Sure, for sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. You know, back in the beginning of. I was I was on my own, you know, I was talking to myself and what I mean, that was, it was, you know, there was not a lot of interest at all. In fact, I remember talking to various people in business. I remember one person and he said, oh my God, it's like, you have five green heads as you're describing. And I'm like, I don't have 500. I just have one kind of, [00:07:00] you know but I mean, it was so foreign to most people, the whole notion of conscious capitalism, B Corp's this was not this wasn't part of the landscape. Now. I feel that there's a whole mood. Happening worldwide, where people are saying, you know, we have to do business differently. We have to address social problems through our business. Our business has to be a force that brings people up in our, the people who work with us, our communities, et cetera. So I feel part of a movement now. And that's why. Yeah. And  Sarah: you must be thinking, finally, you're waking up to this. I've been doing this for ages. Yeah.  Tami: Well, you know, it's interesting. The inner MBA is a program that sounds true has produced in partnership with LinkedIn and wisdom 2.0. And when we had our first graduating class, Lynne twist came. [00:08:00] To gave the commencement speech and Lynne twist is the founder of the soul of money Institute. And here I'm getting, to my point, she talked about how 45 years ago. So I started sounds true. 36 and a half years ago, but 45 years ago, she heard a speech by Buckminster fuller. Who said 50 years from now, we will see all of the institutions of our world starting to reflect the deep knowing of interdependence. That's just coming into our conscious awareness now, but it's going to take 50 years before that starts. Revolutionizing and changing the structures, the societal structures, the structures of education and politics and business that have been created that have been built on a different paradigm, [00:09:00] a paradigm of the separate individual that, you know, leader trying to get their, you know, whatever financial reward who's not. Tuned and not creating from a deep knowing of our interdependence. And I think that early spiritual insight that I had, that was part of the very beginning of my life in my twenties. I knew that another person was an aspect of my greater self, that the people I was working with, the customers, the authors, that we were all part of this web of. Interdependencies really, you could call it a web of being, and I wanted our business to reflect the honoring of that web. Now I think that knowing that knowing of our interdependence is something that many, many, many people. Are in touch with and can articulate. And they want to design social structures, [00:10:00] business organizations that are true to it that reflect those values that honor our interdependence. Sarah: It feels really good to hear that. And kind of also this knowing that, you know, it was always meant to be maybe that we had to go through this evolution and. Yeah. How these things often go break down in order to break through and build from scratch. At the same time, it feels like there's a lot of work ahead of us still. Like we're in the middle of  Tami: the change. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. And no guarantee that as a species. Yeah, we'll come out the other side successful, no guarantee at all. And yet what great work to be doing together. How awesome let's go. Yeah. What else?  Sarah: What other choice do we have? This is there's only way, one way forward. Right? So I I'm featuring this chat under my seven PS of humane marketing. When [00:11:00] I looked at marketing and the 7:00 PM. Kind of re invented them. And the second P of that humane marketing Mandalah stands for personal power. And so I and that for us has a lot to do with the, in their work. And I know you know, But that's a big focus for you as well. And we talked a bit about the evolution of business, but I'm curious, you strike me as the person who kind of always knew, you know, who you are and what your, what your values are, but I'm sure as a 21 year old you know, 20 years later or even more now. There has been some evolution for you as well. So we'll just to share the Tami evolutionary  Tami: well, knowing who you are, what your values are what's needed. What's wanted now in my experience, that is always a fresh discovery. It's not like, oh, check the [00:12:00] box. I found my purpose. We're done. Doesn't work that way in my life. In my life. There's always a new. Upflow a new arising, a new asking of what's next what's now what's needed. Now what's needed. Now for me, what I was doing previously, as fulfilling as that was, that was then that was that something different is needed now. And can I be in dialogue and responsive to that? So for me, this notion of. Personal power. It comes from being authentically in touch with what is emerging deep in our own bodily, knowing bodily experience, deepen our soul. And that soul is communicating in present time with new instructions all the time. [00:13:00] And you know, it's not, it's not always. It's not always like, oh yeah, I got this. It's like, oh, wow. This is unknown. Never been here before. Huh? I'm going to have to really slow down and listen and see what's next. And  Sarah: I think what's new is that. Making this a priority in the business context where before, you know some people were on a spiritual path, but that had nothing to do with business. Like we weren't addressing any of that in the business context. So why, why now? Why is it so important for leaders to also do this in their  Tami: work? Well, okay. I think the whole notion that there are all these different means. Like there's the me, who's the business me. And then there's the knee who said, so my cushion, who's the spiritual me. And then there's the me who, you know, I mean, of course there are different aspects of ourself, but in my experience, [00:14:00] I want to be a whole unified person. I don't put a mask on. To go to work. I'm not putting a mask on to have this conversation with you. And I think what has evolved is this whole notion that there's a price we need to pay. And the price we have to pay is that of putting on some costume that isn't, who we really are in order to be successful at work. People are discarding that I want to be one integrated self who is authentic. And I think people are discarding that because it doesn't work for us at a inner level. And I also think other people are like, Hey, knock, knock. I'd like to know the real. Who's the real you, I want to relate authentic person to authentic person. I know one of our core values at sounds true is actually authentic connection. We value that and you can't have authentic connection. You know, mask to mask, [00:15:00] you have to have it heart to heart. And I think there's a longing for that because it's so fulfilling to work with other people and have authentic connection, be how you're doing the work together. And of course our customers, customers who are on the spiritual journey, who are on this journey of deep wellbeing, they want us as a company to connect authentically with them. They don't want to be just like sold something from the outside. They want to know why from our hearts does this creation matter. So we have to be able to articulate that. And you can't articulate that if you're not in your authenticity, connecting to the authentic journey and needs of your. Yeah.  Sarah: Yeah. The mask has a whole, you know, really important meaning for, for my listeners as well, because I actually shared the journey of taking off my own mask, having grown up [00:16:00] in this online marketing world where pretty much anybody, every. Whereas the mask. And so I, you know, grew up thinking that's what you do and you show up with a mask. And so part of that meant, you know, my hippie upbringing story, no, that doesn't belong here. That's not, you know, I'm not gonna share that anywhere. And so taking off the mask feels just like, like you say, so liberating. The other thing I want to mention is the word authentic authenticity dot, you know, it's a great word, but unfortunately, if we don't really understand it, it's just one of these words that we're using together with vulnerability. That's just kind of become almost like a marketing thing. And so I think what you explained is like, yes, authenticity. And I just want to highlight, again, also this inner work that's actually what brings [00:17:00] you to the authenticity,  Tami: right? Because sure. Well, yeah. Well, let's talk about, let's talk about it for a moment, because of course authenticity, you know, any word can get destroyed by the culture when it gets used too much to me in so many different things and so many. Levels, but let's go for a different word for a moment, which is genuineness. I really liked that word being genuine. And once again, it's just a word, but what's underneath it and I think what's underneath it. And this gets to the point of vulnerability too, is first of all, sharing your bodily, knowing. So you can't, first of all, share your bodily knowing unless you're in touch. So, first of all, you have to be able to be in touch with what's actually going on. How are you feeling right now? Really, really not like, oh, this is what I think Sarah wants to hear. Or this is, this is the truth of how I'm feeling. So first of all, you have to be in [00:18:00] touch with your bottle. Knowing, and that means in touch with your emotions. So, because your emotions are showing up in your body. And so is it okay to say. You know I feel really sad about that, or I feel really vulnerable because there's a sense of loss for me right now going on in my life. And you know, for example, just to share, you were talking about like personal power and purpose, and I thought to myself, wow. You know, I'm in a transitional period actually in my life. Is that okay? You know, complish so much, it should be like, Pristine and done. No, and that's okay. Because I think there becomes this recognition and I think this is a really deep point that all of our experience is sacred. All of it, even the hard experiences. So it's not just this, you know, terrific accomplishment, achiever, business, self. [00:19:00] No, it's everything we're going through is a sacred uprising in our experience. And then when we know that. We're making space for that in other people, for their genuine journey. So this is all so important to me because it brings forth our human wholeness at work. We're not just these, you know, winners all the time. That's not who we are as people. We're we're whole people with complex inner lives. And so it gets more into like, what's really going on with people underneath that term, you know, authenticity. Now the interesting thing is we can smell it out in each other. We can smell it  Sarah: now more than ever. If we weren't able before now we definitely are.  Tami: Yeah, we can sense it. We can sense people who are [00:20:00] posing, you know, they're posing, they're using authenticity as part of their, you know, whatever that's different than meeting a real person with all of their messy. Blood guts and glory right there in front of you and you can feel it.  Sarah: So how does that translate into marketing? Because. I know you, you, you know, I was part of the, in their MBA, you have this program called conscious marketing and here we're on the humane marketing podcast. So it's really important to me also to kind of talk about these things in, in marketing. So where would you say is the parallel here?  Tami: Sure. Well, one of the big insights for me related to marketing had to do when I had an old. Mindset that was broken open. And the mindset I had was you [00:21:00] make the product over here and then you market it. So we make these great teaching programs and then we have to market them. So what the insight was that, oh, actually take all of that teaching. And put it into the communication about what the product is. There's one thing going on here, which is you are sharing these teachings with the world, what you care the most about you are sharing with other people, you're baking it into the product and you're baking it into how you talk about the. Oh, my God, it's not a separate thing. And then I got really excited and I was like, oh, this is simply about communicating teachings in a different way than the way they're in, coded in the program itself. It's about talking about it. And then it's like, oh, okay. I want to share. What's really most meaningful to me.[00:22:00]  Why did I make this program in the first place? There was a deep motivation behind it. Talk about.  Sarah: Yeah, we talk a lot about worldview over here. So, so really making your worldview part of your marketing and, and, you know, for you, that means a world where spirituality and business go hand in hand and, and for others, their worldview is, you know, has to do with climate crisis or whatever it is. Bring that, bring more of that. That vision and that passion into your marketing? I think that's what, what yeah, it makes it authentic again, that word, but, but that's where you can tell that it's real. Another thing that I often say is that. More explanations, like, and because marketing has gotten a bad draft, so we need to actually be extra careful to explain everything we do. So, [00:23:00] as an example, if you are doing a, you know, a one day sale or something like that, well, explain why the real reason. And, you know, a lot of explanation, I think in order to regain that trust that probably be lost in  Tami: marketing. Well, one thing to say is, you know, so I like to write and as someone who likes to write, I can sometimes notice when I'm writing and something's not quite working. I'll say to myself, go deeper. What is it? You actually need to say right now, what is, what is the soul force behind this thing? Tell more of the truth, lay it out more like you're on the surface right now. You're on the surface. Go deeper, go deeper, go deeper. And I noticed that. I write and it really hits it's because I've come right. DIR I've been willing to share what's really that deep truth inside of [00:24:00] myself. So I would say the same thing about marketing and also this notion of authenticity that there are these levels and it's. So can you peel off that level? Can you peel off the other level peel? What is actually that thing way deep inside of you? That's the actual underneath truth. Say that.  Sarah: Yeah. And that's another thing I kind of had on my bullet point list is, is the word truth, because it's in your, you know, in your company name. So that must be like your favorite word and you're kind of like your leading value. So, so tell us how that looks like in your company, in your marketing and kind of how you see it evolve in the business world  Tami: as well. Sure. Well, you know, just like I was saying, you can kind of sniff out whether someone's like, how real are they really? Like? You can kind of feel it. I think it's also, when someone's speaking, you can [00:25:00] kind of sniff out, are they, are they telling me the truth right now? Like what's going on? What's what's really happening here. And I think one of the things I noticed is that. When people come forward with, what's deeply true for them. I have a relaxation, I feel relaxed. I'm like, oh, okay. That's what's going on here. Cause I don't have to figure it out. I don't have to be like, what's really happening. Like why are they really, you know, a LA LA LA, just tell me. And so I think it's a great gift to your. Customers. And that sense you could say, it's like talking to your partners, that's the interdependent whole, you're sharing with another part of yourself what's really going on here, why you're really doing it. So I don't, I don't know if that helps, but I, you know, the name of sounds true is sounds true because we talked about at the beginning of our conversation about [00:26:00] being auditorially sensitive and I realized that I'm very sensitive. To the sound of. When someone is speaking, if they're speaking the truth and that I experience it like music, it's so beautiful to me. I just want to listen to it all day long and I think you can feel that too, in marketing materials, you can just sense it. You're like, oh, they're not giving, it's not a snow job here. They're just speaking directly. Yeah. Directly  Sarah: into anything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It reminds me of my walks in nature. You just know what you see is what what's true. You know, there's nothing to change. Your mind gets a break because it doesn't have to try to figure out what's not working and what needs fixing. No, it's all just perfect as it is. And it's true the way, you know, nature is [00:27:00] always true and, and right. So yeah, that's what comes up for me.  Tami: Yeah. You know, Sarah. Reflecting on as we were talking kind of cause once again, it's about this willingness to listen and deeper and deeper levels to things is that if we're not comfortable making money, hi, I enjoy making money. When I make money, it allows me to pay my staff really well. It allows me to live an abundant and beautiful lifestyle. That's enriched with beauty and opportunities and a sense of freedom. It allows me to reinvest in the growth of our company and we can reach more people and be more expansive. I enjoy and need sounds true to be a company that makes money. If you're not comfortable with that in your business, then you can't also be comfortable communicating [00:28:00] with the values of your products, because you're always doing this dance around a weird relationship with money. So I would say one thing is get really clear. About having a healthy relationship with money where you enjoy and need to make it, but that doesn't make you greedy. It doesn't mean you're not deeply interested in seeing everyone rise. And in fact, you're baking into your organization, ways that you can either have a nonprofit arm like we do at sounds true or other ways that you're giving back to the community. And supporting people who don't have the financial resources to perhaps access your products. I think of one of the CEO's who's part of the inner MBA who started Bombus socks for every pair of socks, they said. They give one to a homeless person. They've given away millions of pairs of socks. It was part of his [00:29:00] original inspiration. And so he's able to talk about buying Bomba socks and giving socks to homeless people all at the same time. And he can be in his heart around it because he's congruent deep inside about what they're trying to do with the business and how those sales. Promote a world where we're all. Rising together and where the money from the businesses going. So I think we have to clear that all up so we can be transparent about it. Yeah.  Sarah: Yeah. I find it interesting that you bring up the topic of money because it's obviously a sensitive topic to you know I know for my listeners, for myself and I you know, Inner work in included in that journey with that with money. And in, in my book selling like we're human, it is, you know, the first step to have a real conversation with your money and money [00:30:00] stories so that you can relax and then really just have a human conversation around. Investing in your services and not get all 10 stopped would diminish the money, comes into the, into the game. So, so, so essential and, and you're right. And, and. What, what you see, unfortunately, still in some of the business stuff is, is de individualism where, where it's like, yeah, we need to make more money and become millionaires and blah, blah, blah. But what's missing there is, is the third win, which is the collective and the planet. Right. And you're clearly saying, well, no, it has to be. If we make more money first, yes. We need to be in abundance ourselves so that we can support ourselves. But then let's like you say, re re rise. Is there a rise or raise to get her rise together? All of us and, and we can only do that if we first look after ourselves. [00:31:00]  Tami: Yeah. So I think it's really important for people. To put into their original product design, how the, the funds raised are going to be of benefit to other people who don't have access to the same financial resources. And if you put that in, in the beginning, then you can stand in what you're doing in, in a certain kind of way, and stand in the generosity. Of what you're doing as you market your product. Would you  Sarah: also say that, of course, that makes the founder or the owner feel good? Would you also say given the evolution of business that, that is going to be a key differentiator for the customers? Meaning, you know, the gen C?  Tami: Sure. But I think the key is you can't just do a.[00:32:00]  You can't just do anything because you think, oh, this is now going to appeal to you. You have to be real about it. Like give some real money away from your profits, like actually do it. Not just some kind of performative thing. So anything, anything can become performative and you know, the good news is that people sniff it out, which is a theme that we've been talking about in this conversation. And so it has to be because actually. That's something you value, it matters to you because it is part of that realization. It's a realization it's not negotiable. It's not a strategy. If it's a strategy, it's. If it's because you really want this group of people who are connected to what you do to benefit from your work and otherwise they wouldn't have access and it's really alive for you, then it will also be alive for your [00:33:00] customers. And they'll say,  Sarah: Yeah. Yeah. And, and as a leader of a bigger business, of course, maybe the founder has to look at these values, but then the whole team I'm sure your whole team is aligned, but all of that, because that's, again, it works from the inside out.  Tami: Yeah. And it's important. You mentioned it's important to potentially gen Z customers. It's really important to employees, you know, here in the United States at this point in the pandemic, we're going through something. People are calling the great resignation where so many people are leaving. Organizational life and saying, yeah, it's just not worth it. I think I'm just going to go off on my own and do something or other, there's no way I'm going to keep working for this organization, you know? And no. And so your organization has to be doing something truly meaningful, truly meaningful for people to say. Yeah. I want to give you my time and energy at the. [00:34:00] And  Sarah: I think it's actually also the employees who will hold the company or the management accountable that it's the truth and that they're actually doing it and implementing and measuring, you know, what, whatever they're saying so that they're actually walking their talk. So, yeah. So good. Wow. Tell us more about SoundsTrue and the, in their MBA and where people can listen to your amazing podcast and find out more about.  Tami: Sure. Well, come check us out at sounds true. Dot com. All of our resources are there. Our inner MBA program is a nine month program. We're in our second cohort. The next cohort won't start until September of 2022, but we also have a generous scholarship program. That's part of the inner MBA, because our goal is to make training of interdependent. Connecting with that [00:35:00] soul force and having it be imbued throughout every aspect of our business to make that kind of training as widely accessible as possible. So yeah. Come check us out@soundstrue.com. Thank you. Yeah, I  Sarah: have two more questions if you make sure. Yeah. Where do you see and how do you see business evolve over the next decade? Tami: Hmm. Well, that's a big question. I think that the awareness of climate change as a business issue is something that we're starting to hear many brilliant entrepreneurs address. And thank goodness, because I'm not convinced that we'll have enough solutions fast than. From political action, but from creative entrepreneurs who are motivated to solve all kinds of problems and who are brilliant at it, let's [00:36:00] go. And so I think we're going to see a lot more of investment dollars and a lot more creative entrepreneur. Looking to solve climate change from all kinds of things, whether it's carbon architecture or you know, innovations that work with different kinds of algae. I don't know. I think there's so many opportunities there. So that's one thing. I also think this whole notion that. Business is a place where we get to grow and evolve as human beings and where we must grow and evolve. That business is an incubator for the deep human journey of adult development, adult development, meaning we're learning all kinds of. Of greater skills than we learned in our original college training about emotional intelligence about deep listening skills, all of this, I think business will be seen as an [00:37:00] incubator for the highest levels of adult development. So I also think we're going to experience that. I think that more and more businesses will. Understand that we're living in an age of transparency and that means that you can't hide stuff. So don't, don't do things you need to hide because you can't. So I think that's also going to become more and more. I also think what you're working on, which is authenticity in marketing, whatever language. I think people are just so sick of being sold. Anything. They don't want it anymore. I'm done. You know, I remember at one point I was talking to a mentor I work with and I was talking about a presentation and how I wished I had said something. Better that I wasn't as clear as I could have been. And she said to me, Tammy, people don't need perfection. Right. You know what, they, they just need people to be real, like where you real. And I was like, oh yeah, I was [00:38:00] actually, and I was like, I can do that every day. I can do that every time. Right? Yeah. That's not that hard. I was like, perfect. It's hard. She's like, people don't need perfect. They're done with it, all the Polish, all the everything. So I also think there's a hunger. There's just a hunger for that. Type of genuine presentation.  Sarah: I love, I love everything you said, and I can't wait for that day. I think the only thing I would add is, is community and more partnerships companies not working in silos, but working together, open source sharing. No, it's the opposite of individualism. Capitalism. Right. So  Tami: that's a great thing to add. Yes.  Sarah: Yeah. I said I had two questions. So the last question is what are you grateful for today or this week? Tami: Well, I immediately see my family. [00:39:00] So I've seen my wife, Julie and our two furry children raspberry and Bula. And then I feel grateful. I see the faces of many of the people I work with at sounds true. And many of the authors that I've been in conversation with recently, I feel a lot of gratitude for the. Quite honestly, I also felt a sense of gratitude for feel an inner feeling of goodness and purity that I can sense inside myself. And it's not like it's my goodness or my butt like that. That's part of the essence of who we are. As humans that we have this opportunity to connect with something inside, inside our hearts. That's good and pure. Wonderful.  Sarah: I can't thank you enough for being a guest on the humane [00:40:00] marketing podcast. It's been an absolute delight. Thank you so much for being here.  Tami: Yeah. Thank you for all your good work and your sincerity. Thank you.

Bumble Bees (genus Bombus) are a diverse genus of Bees with 25 species in Ontario according to range maps, but more like 14-16 species you are more likely to encounter. It can be a confusing process not only trying to decipher the genus of a Bee, but especially down to the species. Now how about trying to i.d. a increasingly hard to find species? Its hard. Its harder still to try and help these bees get back into the mating game, supporting their regeneration and helping them help reinhabit the places where their populations were once more common. Tiffani Harrison is the conservation outreach and field biologist with Wildlife Preservation Canada. She and her teams have been surveying various sites across Canada in search of Bumble Bees, to gather Queens for the breeding Bumble Bee Breeding lab in efforts to learn more about how to support declining species. I myself am on a big kick to learn more about Bumble Bees and this interview with Tiffani Harrison was incredibly helpful in that regard.

I spent so much time jabbering about my conversion to a desert rat and monsoon believer that I left out some fun stuff. Native bees that buzz pollinate flowers are Bombus species., Centris spp., and Anthophora spp. And yes, you really can hang out by the flowers and see and hear this happening! Oh, and look at how the petals of a senna flower create a cup; sonicated exploding pollen ricochets off the petals…there is no way a bee is leaving without pollen attached to it. The featured senna is Senna wislizeni and the specific epithet is in honor of Friedrich Wislizen, a German born American physician, botanist, plant collector…yet another pesky immigrant! His name shows up in a few other species as well and what little I read about him it sounds like he was a wonderful and deserving fellow. So the senna can be called Wislizinus' senna…quite a mouthful…or simply, woody senna, because it is. Sennas are in the Fabaceae and there are eight native species found in Arizona. Woody senna is found in Cochise County and into Sonora from 4,000' to 5,000' on slopes and mesas. The cloudless sulphur butterfly is Phoebis sennae. Phoebe is the goddess of the moon and sennae refers to the host plants. Cloudless sulphurs are common and beautiful.  Checkout the caterpillar in the photo below. The photos of the flowers and caterpillar are mine and taken of some plants that I planted years ago along our drive. Every July and August they bloom and remind me of my monsoon belief system.

Air traffic Control  Heading towards summer there are soooo many shrubs, climbers and trees in flower, luring in pollinators and other organisms, interested in the protein of pollen and the carbohydrates of nectar. On some plants it simply is great entertainment to just sit or stand still and watch what flies there. And it all flies there without air traffic control!  Pohutukawa and some of the rata species flower around Christmas and they’re usually very busy indeed.  The usual suspects: honey bees (Apis mellifera) and at least two species of bumble bees: the common, large earth bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) and the large Garden bumble bee (Bombus ruderatus). Their ideas are to gather nectar (it is merely sugar water, a quick energy fix with a kick) for energy and to store it as honey in the nest. They also collect pollen which is fed to the larvae (for growth)  The often unseen bees: Our native bee species (27 different species in all)! They tend to be small. Most species are so-called “solitary” bees; a pair (but really... mostly the female!) digs their own, narrow tunnel in the ground; there she makes a small nest for a few off-spring, raised on nectar and especially pollen. On the food plants they stand out as active little dark-coloured bees. You’ll find them on Manuka as well.  The unexpected pollinators: flies of all shapes and sizes, colours and descriptions. The idea of a free lunch is simply too good for most of these insects. Houseflies, blowflies, fleshflies and Dilophus nigrostimus, a native Bibionid fly which is black and red and has a rather long-ish head. You often find these flies feeding in large numbers on pollen of flowers along the road-sides. Bibionids are known overseas as “march flies”; we often call them Blossom Flies, which seems a lot more appropriate. Thrips: If you go to your optometrist regularly and look real close, you can even find thrips and such minute insects clambering around the pollen – it’s just part of the free-for-all. Many people think thrips are pests (and indeed, some of them are, but the majority are either predators of useful pollinators. Beetles and other invertebrates: When rata and pohutukawa leaves emerge from the buds in spring, a lot of them have small, often circular, holes in them. Blame a tiny native weevil (Neomycta rubida) for these activities. The weevil is already present inside the unfolding buds to take advantage of the freshest virgin foliage on earth. The weevils lay their eggs in the leaf stalks and the ensuing larvae mine the foliage. Of course, when the small adult weevils cruise the Metrosideros leaves, birds are quite eager to snap them up. To a silvereye, they are nothing more than convenient, bite-sized packages of protein.  Some beetle species are also frequenting pohutukawa and rata flowers; that includes some ladybird beetles. Pollen and nectar provide them with the nutrients to lay eggs in amongst aphids and scale insects in your garden In the rough bark live weta, large predatory flightless beetles and native roaches. You’ll see those at night. And although they might not fly around our Christmas Trees and rata vines, they are just as much part of the Aotearoa ecosystem of early summer.   LISTEN TO AUDIO ABOVE

To celebrate my new book, Skyway, this week let's learn about sky animals! They're fictitious, but could they really exist? And what animals are really found in the high atmosphere? You can order a copy of Skyway today on Kindle or other ebook formats! It's a collection of short stories published by Mannison Press, with the same characters and setting from my novel Skytown (also available)! Further reading: "The Horror of the Heights" by Arthur Conan Doyle (and you can even listen to a nice audio version at this link too!) Charles Fort's books are online (and in the public domain) if not in an especially readable format Further Listening: unlocked Patreon episode The Birds That Never Land Rüppell’s vulture: The bar-headed goose: The common crane: Bombus impetuosus, an Alpine bumblebee that lives on Mount Everest: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. This week we’ve got something a little different. Usually I save the weirder topics for Patreon bonus episodes, and in fact I had originally planned this as a Patreon episode. But I have a new book coming out called Skyway, so in honor of my new book, let’s learn about some sky animals! Skyway is a collection of short stories about the same characters in my other book Skytown, so if you’ve read Skytown and liked it, you can buy Skyway as of tomorrow, if you’re listening on the day this episode goes live. I’ll put links to both books in the show notes so you can buy a copy if you like. The books have some adult language but are appropriate for teens although they’re not actually young adult books. Anyway, the reason I say this episode is a little different is because first we’re going to learn about some interesting sky animals that are literary rather than real. Then we’ll learn about some animals that are real, but also interesting—specifically, animals that fly the highest. Back before airplanes and other flying machines were invented, people literally weren’t sure what was up high in the sky. They thought the sky continued at least to the moon and maybe beyond, with perfectly breathable air and possibly with strange unknown animals floating around up there, too far away to see from the ground. People weren’t even sure if the sky was safe for land animals. When hot-air balloons big enough to carry weight were invented in the late 18th century, inventors tried an important experiment before letting anyone get in one. In 1783 in France, a sheep, a duck, and a rooster were sent aloft in a balloon to see what effects the trip would have on them. The team behind the flight assumed that the duck would be fine, since ducks can fly quite high, so it was included as a sort of control. They weren’t sure about the rooster, since chickens aren’t very good flyers and never fly very high, and they were most nervous about the sheep, since it was most like a person. The balloon traveled about two miles in ten minutes, or 3 km, and landed safely. All three animals were fine. After that, people started riding in balloons and it became a huge fad, especially in France. By 1852 balloons were better designed to hold more weight and be easier to control, and that year a woman dressed as the goddess Europa and a bull dressed as Zeus ascended in a balloon over London. But the bull was obviously so frightened by the balloon ride that the people watching the spectacle complained to the police, who charged the man who arranged the balloon ride with animal cruelty. The bull was okay, though, and no one made him get in a balloon again. After airplanes were invented and became reliable, if not especially safe, the world went nuts about flying all over again. In 1922 Arthur Conan Doyle published a story called “The Horror of the Heights,” about a pilot who flew high into the sky and came across sky animals. You can tell from the story’s title that things did not go well for the main charact...

*Saturday Extra* Utah is home to some of the most diverse native bee populations in the nation with 1,128 recorded in the state. These species pollinate flowers and plants essential to our native ecosystems. But some experts say that native bees are vulnerable, especially in light of a potential plan that would store private honey bees on Utah’s National Forests, including the Manti-La Sals. They say the honey bees will outcompete and displace native bees in their habitat, changing the ecosystem. Today on the extended newscast, we speak with Mary O’Brien, the Utah Forest Program Director for conservation group Grand Canyon Trust. She and Grand County beekeeper Jerry Shue are presenting this complicated bee issue during a public talk next week. [Photo: Western bumblebee, Bombus occidentalis. Courtesy of Grand Canyon Trust]

Saving the bees has gotten widespread understanding, but it is more nuanced than a simple sound bite. Which bees are in danger and where? How many bee species are out there and are under threat? Can domesticated bees spread disease to wild populations? How do wild flowers help feed bees but also spread disease? Can different types of crop cycles help both wild and domesticated bees thrive? We know of colony collapse disorder and pesticides, but what other threats are out there to bee populations? Does the urban sprawl play a role in destabilising the gender balance of the bee populations? Why do bee populations drop off as you approach the city?References: Samantha A. Alger, P.
