Models like the Cadillac Fleetwood, Lincoln Continental, and Buick Electra 225 stretched over 18 feet long, offering plush interiors with chrome accents, bench seats, and advanced features for the time. Their long hoods, wide grilles, and tailfins defined the era's bold styling. These cars prioritized comfort, floating down highways with soft suspensions. Gas-guzzling yet glamorous, they symbolized American prosperity and automotive excess. Though impractical today, they remain icons of 1960s luxury and engineering ambition. ----------------------------------------- The 2025 GMC Sierra Denali EV Max Range is a premium electric pickup truck offering an impressive GM-estimated 460 miles of range.

Uit recent onderzoek blijkt dat ongewenst gedrag, zoals agressie en intimidatie het vaakst in de zorg voorkomen. In de podcast Sprekend RD delen drie zorgmedewerkers hun ervaringen. Ambulance verpleegkundige Thijs Aarten zegt dat de houding van de zorgverlener daarbij een grote rol speelt. Hij kwam bij een patiënt die vuurwapengevaarlijk was en was rustig met de patiënt in gesprek. Totdat even later de politie met veel lawaai en kogelwerende vesten binnenkwam. En toen sloeg de vlam in de pan. Teammanager Esther Vlaming geeft aan dat agressie tegen zorgverleners ook te maken heeft met een veranderende maatschappij; patiënten zijn mondiger en laten zich online informeren over hun situatie. Dan denken ze het soms beter te weten dan de artsen. Dat leidt dan tot agressief gedrag als de artsen en verpleegkundigen niet meegaan in het plan van de patiënt en familie. Wanneer patiënten zorg nodig hebben, wordt de regie over hun leven grotendeels door de zorgverleners uit handen genomen. Dat geeft veel onzekerheid die tot agressie kan leiden. Heel duidelijk uitleggen wat je als zorgverlener gaat doen, is dan belangrijk benadrukken de zorgverleners. Hoewel geen van de zorgverleners agressie goed wil praten, hebben ze er deels wel begrip voor. En oplossingen zoeken ze deels bij zichzelf. In de podcast spreekt postcastredacteur Arno Lagendijk met Dicky Ploeg die werkzaam is als preventiemedewerker bij RST Zorgverleners, ambulance verpleegkundige Thijs Aartend die bij Witte Kruis Ambulancezorg werkt en Esther Vlaming die werkt als teamleider op het Moeder en Kindcentrum in het St. Jansdal ziekenhuis.

NASCAR had a big race weekend at Bristol, and Yung Money really took charge, moving on to the next round of the playoffs. Unfortunately, MTJ, Keebler Gibbs, Brad K, and Harrison Burton were knocked out of the competition. There were issues with the tires, and the car didn't perform well on the short tracks and road courses. As we look ahead to the Kansas races, Cold Custard won the XFinity race and secured the Regular Season Championship. Allgaier had a rough time and lost the RST. The lineup stays the same as we head to Kansas. Layne Riggs continues his winning streak with a victory at Bristol, and most of the playoff drivers did well. The points are tight as we head to Kansas. In F1, the Singapore Grand Prix was exciting with Lando winning pole position and the race. Fish Lips finished second and Piastri came in third. Ferrari had a tough time in qualifying, and Mercedes struggled throughout the weekend. Danny Ric made a splash in his final F1 race by snagging the fastest lap. As we enter a three-week break before the U.S. Grand Prix, the NFL's third week has left both of us feeling a bit unhappy. In GSP updates, last week featured NHRA racing in Charlotte and this week at Gateway. MotoGP and Moto2 raced in Italy last week and are moving to Indonesia this week. WSBK was in Italy last week and is heading to Aragon next. IMSA was at Indianapolis, Supercars had the Sandown 500, F1 Academy raced in Singapore, and the WRC is in Rally Chile.  Looking ahead to NASCAR's events at Kansas, we'll preview the races in Trucks, XFinity, and Cup to see who might get eliminated and who could start strong. Finally, Josh will share his sim segment before we wrap up the show.

Auto-generated Transcript: Brian (00:00) Welcome in Agile Mentors. We're back for another episode of the Agile Mentors Podcast. I'm with you as always, Brian Milner. And today I have a very special guest with me. I have Dr. Tess Thompson with me. Welcome in Dr. Thompson. Tess Thompson (00:13) Hi, I'm glad to be here. Brian (00:16) I'm so happy to have Dr. Thompson with us. And just for people who aren't familiar, let me make sure that I introduce her and give you the background a little bit. First of all, she's been in this business for almost 40 years now. She's been doing stuff in IT since the 80s. She is a principal consultant and RST fellow with Scrum Inc. Scrum .inc, I should say. She is a PST as well with scrum .org. So two different organizations from two different founders of Scrum. She has been a professor at St. Mary's University. So has that kind of educational background as well. And I was asking her beforehand if there's anything else I needed to say. And she said, well, make sure you say I've got nine grandchildren. That's kind of my claim to fame. I love that. So. Nine grandchildren, very happy for that. So that's who we're talking with. And we wanted to have Dr. Thompson because there's a lot of experience here that she brings to the table in the realm of scaling, obviously being connected so closely with those two organizations. So with all that out of the way, let's talk about scaling a little bit. And Dr. Thompson, what I want to start with is just Tess Thompson (01:27) I'm Brian (01:40) When you work with organizations today that have scaling issues, what are organizations really struggling with? What's kind of the main issues that you see organizations have with scaling today? Tess Thompson (01:55) I would say there's a lot of things, but I would say still the biggest problem is getting everybody to align on what the priority is. So at some point, like you get alignment with maybe people that are doing Scrum and they're the people that are above them, but then the people above them are out of alignment. like, for example, one of the clients I have right now brought some consultants in to work on a project. Brian (01:59) Yeah, right. Tess Thompson (02:24) And those consultants have been stuck now for four weeks. And where the alignment problem is, is actually up at the C -suite with this client. Because one of them says, nope, we were supposed to help. That was a priority in 2023. And the other one's like, no, this is a priority in 2024. And they're not helping each other. So in the meantime, this project is stuck for four weeks. And we're spending money on people that are sitting there doing nothing. Brian (02:50) So just when you say alignment, give us kind of a flavor. when leaders are misaligned, what kind of things are they, are there different ideas about priority or different ideas about why they're doing this? What are they misaligned on? Okay. Tess Thompson (03:09) Both, both, I would say both. The, you know, especially as the companies get bigger and bigger, we have a CEO who's got some priorities, but then all the C -suite under them have their own priorities and they're not always, and then they break down to the next level and these priorities start to get out of alignment because people start bringing in their own objectives and their own priorities and they often don't match what somebody else is doing. So part of it is the different incentives and just the organizations being so big, they have to get even these priorities aligned at different levels. Brian (03:49) So this is kind of an amazing thing, I think, for people to latch onto here, because I hear a lot of people in just regular base level classes talk about how there's a disconnect between them and the leadership on how they're going to do Scrum and how this fits into the overall structure of the organization. just understand, Dr. Thompson here is talking about organizations that The leadership has stated, at least in some way, or form, we're in alignment with this. We want to do this. We want to have Scrum throughout our organization. But even in those situations, we're seeing these misalignments of just priorities and what are the drivers really for what they're trying to do. So I find that fascinating that talking to so many people who just wish that their leadership could get on board. with what it is they're trying to do, that even in those organizations where they do, quote unquote, get on board, there's still these kind of fundamental disconnects. Tess Thompson (04:51) Yep, absolutely. In fact, I do very little work anymore on scrum specific. is many organizations, I mean, almost every organization I go into anymore has some shape or form of scrum going on or people with experience with it. Some people, you know, they're not, it's something that they're trying to do anyway, something agile. And they're... They're getting things done quicker. They're delivering with higher quality. They have better communication at that level. But then as you go up the chain, things start to break down and then teams are stuck. So organizations can only get product out the door with high quality as quick as possible. The more the organ... We have to really think the system. So most of the work that I do today is around the system, which is scaling. It's system agility. Otherwise you start having, you just run into optimization in areas, that local optimization problem. Brian (05:58) Yeah, yeah, not seeing the whole, right? Tess Thompson (06:02) Right, absolutely. So I think that over the years that Agile has been around, we're seeing more and more of it, but then it's, like I said, almost all my work now is system level and not down at the team level. So often I'm not even using Scrum language when I'm talking. It is about alignment. It is about prioritization. So yes, at a Scrum level, your product owner is putting the order of the product backlog, and then the team can pull out off that backlog. based on value from all the different stakeholders that the product owner is working with. But in a big organization, those stakeholders can be a manager, can be a director, it can be another department, it can be, it's from all over the place. And then at some point, how does that work coming into the product owner roll up to the priority of the department or a higher level? And then how does that roll up to the higher level? And that's where we start running into messes. Brian (06:58) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. mean, it's like you said, with all these various priorities, with all these various drivers, I've always talked to product owners and say, it's a tough job. You're balancing the needs and desires of all these people into one product, and you're having to take them all into account. So yeah, it's not easy. It's not an easy job. Tess Thompson (07:08) You. Brian (07:27) Well, so I'm curious about, you say you don't really even use the Scrum language as much when you're talking to the leaders, because they're not really interested in that, right? They're not really interested in, we doing this exactly according to what the Scrum guide says? They're interested in the outcome, right? The results that you're getting from this. Yeah, so I'm kind of curious, especially since you're a fellow with Scrum Inc. And I know that the... Tess Thompson (07:37) No. Absolutely. Brian (07:55) a Scrum at Scale kind of strategy is very specific about how these things are implemented. There's practices and all sorts of stuff that Scrum at Scale kind of implements. Would you categorize yourself as sort of a Scrum at Scale implementation consultant? Or is it more of just, I take more of a holistic approach to the scaling. Tess Thompson (08:19) Holistic, absolutely. So actually, I'm certified in Nexus, Scrummit Scale, Less, and Safe. I mean, I have all of them. So I always think you need to bring the best tool to the job. One of the things I like about Scrummit Scale and Nexus is they're just so simple. Like if, hey, if these two teams are not, if we need to coordinate, let's get these product owners together and work together to figure out what is really the order. So whether we call it a meta scrum or we call it something else, I don't think that language matters as much as seeing the need and then bringing in a tool to help meet that need. If these teams are interdependent and they need to be chatting to help get rid of those interdependencies, well, let's spin up a scrum of scrums here. Brian (08:58) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've had someone on before that we've talked through kind of the safe model a little bit and talked about how, you know, there's so much additional overhead, there's so much additional roles and events and all these other things that get added from the safe perspective, that it can be very, very overwhelming for a lot of organizations to look at that and say, well, gosh, how are we ever going to, I mean, we're barely hanging on with it, trying to understand what Scrum is. And now we're going to layer in all these other things and, Tess Thompson (09:22) Thanks. Okay. Brian (09:38) It just seems like a recipe for disaster to try to understand all these things. So I guess one of the things that I had in that previous conversation was this dialogue about how you match the problem to the practice. You find the problem that is going on in the organization and you find the right practice that solves that, but not necessarily implementing the whole smorgasbord of practices because you may be trying to solve problems you don't have. Do you see that as kind of your approach when you work with organizations or how do you match the practices to what's actually going on on the ground? Tess Thompson (10:18) Yeah, I would say, you know, it's kind of similar to what happened with, so I'm also a PMP. So when we When we put together the PIMBOK over the years, it became this, know, it was supposed to be, these are best practices that you can have. And over time, it became very, big, thick book and people didn't understand they were only supposed to implement whatever tool from that book really helped solve the problems they were having. And started implementing the whole thing. And I think that's what happens too with like, Brian (10:50) Ha ha. Tess Thompson (10:53) safe or any of these agile practices, even though, know, Ken and Jeff went completely the opposite of PMI and said, hey, we're just going to roll out. This is the absolute minimum that you need for running, running a team or a project or product. And, but it's not enough. So you need to add in some more things to it. You got to bring in some additional tools to help depending on the organization, such as road mapping. I really believe that's one of the. I spend a lot of time helping organizations and product owners think about, we do need to plan ahead. And that is one of the pieces I do like about SAFE is that in their PI planning, have the getting some product owners and teams together to plan together to look out further, I think is pretty essential in most organizations. Now, do we need to do it on a regular cadence of every eight weeks? And do we need to have 200 teams together? I think Brian (11:23) Yeah. Tess Thompson (11:49) Sometimes it's, think organizations end up implementing all of SAFE, kind of like in the pin box, if you will, and it's way more than they need. So I think it's taking the elements of all of these and then using them to meet the need of the organization. I mean, if you're a 30 person organization, do you need a bunch of release trains and engineers and stuff? No. Brian (11:59) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's very interesting to me with your background that you have all of these different scaling frameworks in mind. How much of what you do do you feel is aligned to a specific framework and how much of it is just piecemeal across the different frameworks? Tess Thompson (12:34) I would say I'm most aligned to, well, Scrum at Scale, never solely. It's always piecemeal. It is a piecemeal thing because I really do believe that teams do get to need to plan out in almost every company I go into. Teams do need to plan out more than one sprint. Brian (12:44) Hmm. Tess Thompson (12:54) Okay, we need to plan out and we're never delivering anything alone with one team. It seems like we're always need multiple teams. So we need that coordination and we need some of the scaling practices for sure. I really use a variation of safe of PI planning, but then I layer in, so we put together our plan for let's say the month, maybe we have a product goal for the month. And then I use the version of PI planning to get the teams together to plan out for sprints. weekly sprints to get to that product goal and try to get rid of the dependencies and problems that we see between the teams. And then we let it run. But then I pull in from Scrum at Scale, definitely the Metascrum. Like every sprint, let's still get the product owners together and revise our sprint plans because we've learned a lot in the last sprint or we learned a lot today. So we're not just going to let it ride for a month, for example, we're going to still get together at a regular cadence, like once per sprint. and realign our backlogs based on what we've just really happened. So it's using both, yeah. Brian (13:55) I love that. Yeah, taking the best of what these different practices offer, Tess Thompson (14:04) Absolutely. Brian (14:06) I love that. Well, one of the things that I wanted to talk to you about as well is sort of in working with scaling practices, I'm sure you already talked a little bit about how leadership has different ideas than the team level does. And the team level is kind of struggling with a certain layer of complexity. The leaders are struggling with another. Tess Thompson (14:22) Okay. Brian (14:33) I know there often appears to be sort of a disconnect between these two groups. I've talked to people who feel like they're speaking a different language. It's sort of like the leaders are, especially when teams, the team level will look and see, there's people in leadership who just, they want us to do Scrum, but then they want a lot of things in the same way that they always have, which is really hard for us to translate and put back into that old language. I'm just kind of curious your thought about that. Do you see leaders, the leadership layer as sort of speaking a different language than the team layer and how do you help them understand each other? Tess Thompson (15:13) Yeah, I mean, my most successful implementations is definitely when the leaders are on board. Leaders are really important to agility. We need their help and we need their support. What I always find super interesting is when I go into an engagement, I usually run an assessment, an agility assessment. And what I'm measuring is kind of where the organization is on culture, delivery, how well they're continuously improving or optimizing the system, how well they prioritize and how customer centric they are. Because I really believe agility is about those... It's those five dimensions, if you will, that you need to really focus on. And so I run this assessment and I always have them self -assess through a survey, interviews, and then observations. So often I see my assessments different than maybe how they self -assess and I'll compare both of them. But the leadership assesses so different than the teams do. And so at the end of the assessment, it's just interesting how different they are. Brian (16:13) Yeah. Tess Thompson (16:21) The teams are thinking they're delivering so well because they're getting all kinds of stuff done and leadership's like they're delivering, they're not delivering. And it's, like, how do we get so out of aligned it all the time at companies? Yeah. Brian (16:35) Yeah, yeah, we will do an assessment to it mountain goat. And one of the things that like became clear to me very early in doing that is that self perception versus, you know, perception of others is very different. And, you know, it was amazing to me, just like you said, to see things like the leadership might think that you have one opinion of something and the teams might have another or, you know, the other thing that I saw was was You know, like the Scrum Masters might think, yeah, our practices are great or they're going really well. And then you ask the developers and developers would say, no, it's horrible. We don't like the way this is working. so, you know, it kind of became apparent to me that you have to factor that human personal perception, right? We tend to be maybe individually more critical on ourselves, but Tess Thompson (17:18) Okay. Brian (17:34) you know, as a group, tend to give ourselves a little more grace in how we're performing, whereas others, when they look in from the outside, will kind of be more honest about it and say, it's not so great in this situation. Tess Thompson (17:49) But what I often find is they are delivering. The thing is they're delivering a bunch of things that the leadership doesn't even know about. So the leadership will have their priority list in their head of projects or things they want the teams to be delivering. But the team is getting hit with all kinds of other stuff that the leadership doesn't know about. So they are working hard and they're delivering. So in their head, they're doing it. It's just this. Brian (17:56) Yeah. Tess Thompson (18:12) the leader maybe not attending to a sprint review and really understanding what the teams got on their plate. Brian (18:17) Yeah, and that's kind of that transparency moment, right? mean, if they think they're not doing anything, they may be, they're just not seeing what they're doing and what they're actually spending their time on. And it's not that they aren't really working hard. As you said, they are working hard. It's just the work they're being asked to do is not really in align with what the leadership thinks the priorities should be. Tess Thompson (18:22) Yes. Absolutely, that's it. Yep. And then should the people be working on the stuff that they're working on? You know, is it the right thing? And often it may not be. Brian (19:00) Yeah. Yeah, I know I've had several instances where I've talked to people when I've been in working with teams where they will, the team level will say, you know, we have all the stuff that we're having to do in addition to the new work. And, you know, we know that that's just kind of a constraint we're under. The organization has asked us to do this as well. And, you know, my comment is always, well, Are you being really transparent about that when you get to something like a sprint review? Are you showing them where you're spending your time? Are you showing them kind of how much of this extra other work you're doing? And I've had situations where we've been in sprint reviews and we've shown them, for instance, like how much support time that they've had to spend. when the lead, right. And the leaders see that and think, my gosh, I didn't know they're spending 60 % of their time doing that kind of work. That's not good. We want them to do, Tess Thompson (19:32) right. Yep, eye -opening. Brian (20:00) new work. So I've had leaders who have actually spun up support teams when they've been confronted with that just because they didn't know what was going on. Tess Thompson (20:09) Yeah, absolutely. That is one of the things I love about sprint reviews is that transparency. And I have seen teams also go into sprint reviews thinking that they just want to show like some progress they made on an increment for a project and not talk about the support work that they did or some of the other buckets of work that come in. And I'm like, you. Part of transparency is seeing, hey, and it doesn't have to be that you show all the support tickets or anything like that. It's talk about something like 50 % of our time, of our capacity was spent on support tickets. Just throwing that in there to make sure leaders are aware. Brian (20:45) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I want to go back to something you said earlier too, because you were talking about when we first started about how one of the biggest issues is alignment on priorities. And I want to just dig under the surface in that a little bit, because when we talk about that alignment of priorities, are we talking about more of the product area? Are we talking more about just a general overall? What's our company's priority? What kind of priorities are they misaligned on? Tess Thompson (21:08) All, I would say all, all priorities are misaligned. So it's been an interesting move to, for me, to Scrum Inc. Because Scrum Inc's clientele is very much Brian (21:21) Right. Tess Thompson (21:35) scrum mostly outside of IT. So it's been really fun for me because my career and background was all in IT. So I've been learning so much about all these other different domains out there. And we're doing full transformations of an entire company is doing a version of scrum, right? Or scrum at scale so that they're aligned on priorities. And anyway, so it's very... It's all, all the work tends to be a little out of alignment. And going back to the support, I really like to work companies to help them really understand that almost all support, whether it is support in a field that's doing some kind of drilling or it's or it's IT support or it's HR support, you know, taking phone calls from the employees that it tends to all be tech debt. All support is really some form of tech debt. And so getting that message out there, how much time we're spending on and how much money we're spending on support helps companies, leaders to agree to fund some of these. Brian (22:44) Yeah. Tess Thompson (22:57) projects around reducing tech debt. Brian (22:59) Yeah. Yeah. And there's always the having to overcome the kind of more traditional viewpoint of projects and these things based around projects and scope schedule, that sort of thing. How do you help leaders understand kind of this is a new way of doing things and not that we can't talk about schedules, but Tess Thompson (23:07) Okay. Brian (23:29) that we're kind of shifting our priorities a little bit, or we're trying to focus on what matters more than arbitrary dates. How do you have those conversations? How do leaders understand that? Tess Thompson (23:38) In some organizations it's easier than others. It depends how much the leader above those leaders is on board, to tell you the truth. So I feel like fundamentally they understand. And if we bring up two different priorities and it's two vice presidents, for example, and they're getting bonuses or something based on their performance in their area, we can see Brian (23:50) Yeah. Tess Thompson (24:08) They fundamentally will understand in a meeting together, they'll understand and then we'll leave and they'll still kind of do their own thing. But if I could get even though like the person, the CEO also, a person above them be like, nope, this is important. And for that person to see the two competing priorities and where there's a problem, I mean, it's really about if there's a problem, right? And then they'll agree and kind of one will give up a little bit on. Brian (24:30) Yeah. Tess Thompson (24:37) on their ambition towards getting their thing done, understanding that it's good for all of us, the whole company, we all, to get to work on maybe the other priority first. Brian (24:50) So a lot of negotiation involved, right? A lot of negotiation skills. Tess Thompson (24:54) Absolutely, and getting people in the same room so that they can have the conversation together. You know, it's not me talking to one and then going and talking to the other. I mean, there is some of that too, but then we have to get together here and decide. And yes, unfortunately, yeah, and yes, we will probably be working on these at the same time. However, if there comes into, you know, with an or, Brian (25:10) Yeah, it's amazing how much easier that is, right? Tess Thompson (25:22) With a large organization, when you've got hundreds of thousands of people, of course we're working on a ton of things at the same time. But when there is a conflict, like we need this skill set here and this, then we have to know which one is more important. Brian (25:37) Yeah. Yeah, and someone has to make that call, right? Someone has to be given that authority at some point. Well, this is fascinating stuff. I'm really interested in hearing your perspective of working with these organizations in today's world. So last little question here. From what you just see, especially most recently, Tess Thompson (25:44) Yep. Brian (26:07) from what you've seen in the organizations you've worked with. If you could just blanket, have one thing fixed before they start working with you, or one thing that they were in alignment with that would really give them a boost in their scaling before they start working with you, what would that be? What would be the thing that you think is most often missing in organizations before you work with them? Tess Thompson (26:33) Getting their goals, their strategy and starting to build out their backlog. based on those priorities. In fact, I usually do ask that. Start thinking about what are really your goals? What's your strategy to get there? And what kind of things are you doing to get there? What products are you creating? What services are you What projects you're creating for those products? Start thinking about that and start being a list together. And then when I get there, I'll help organize the list if you don't have it. But it's just starting to think about that ahead of time. Because what I see is leaders or people have multiple lists. They have a list over here of their projects. They have a list over here of stuff they're doing. They have all their emails that are coming in, their chats that are coming in, the phone that's coming in. And it's like, can we get it all kind of in one place so we can really look at it to make better decisions on really where we should be spending our time and our money? Brian (27:14) Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's a great point. A friend of mine, David Hawks, used to say that organizations are swimming in a sea of opportunity. There's all these different things we could do and really trying to limit that scope and say, yeah, we could do all these things, but what makes the most sense for us to do? What's the most valuable thing for us to do? Tess Thompson (27:58) Yep, absolutely. And getting in touch with and constant feedback with your customer helps you figure that out. So many companies don't even, the people are like, have no, I always love when I get a group and I said, hey, let's name our customers. And they're sort of out of the line on who their customer is. Brian (28:19) Right, and if you don't know who it is you're trying to serve, how do you serve them? Yeah. Tess Thompson (28:25) Yeah, yeah. That's usually one of the first things I ask is, hey, who's your customer? Is it the shareholder? Is it this? Is it that? Let's agree. Yes, you will have multiple customers. Let's get it together and understand who are our customers. Let's all agree on that. Maybe even a priority on some of those customers to some degree. Brian (28:30) You Right, love that. Right. Yeah, yeah, this has been great. Well, I really appreciate you taking time out, Dr. Thompson, for coming on and helping us and to see things from your perspective. It's so great to talk to people that are, know, not just, you know, this isn't just theory or book learning. You're actually out there, you know, doing these in these large scale organizations and, you know, hearing from you what those real world problems are that you're seeing on a day to day basis. Tess Thompson (29:18) And I'm having amazing, amazing results. tell you, I'm, that's why I only had three hours of sleep last night and I'm still. Brian (29:27) Ha ha. Tess Thompson (29:28) woke up full of joy to be here with you today is I love what I do because I'm constantly getting phone calls after the factor during it and it's like, wow, this stuff really works. I'm like, yeah, it does. It really does. Brian (29:41) Amazing when that happens. Awesome. Well, thank you so much for coming on and I just appreciate you sharing your wisdom with us. Tess Thompson (29:53) Anytime. Thank you for having me.

Un nouveau programme du FMI pour le Sénégal. Il a été approuvé ce lundi 26 juin par le conseil d'administration du Fonds monétaire international. Un accord sur le montant record de 1,8 milliard de dollars de financement sur trois ans, qui devrait permettre au pays de résister à l'inflation, en échange de réformes structurelles. De notre correspondante à Dakar, C'est un véritable ballon d'oxygène pour Dakar. L'accord est composé de deux volets : environ 1,5 milliard de dollars « au titre du Mécanisme élargi de crédit (MEDC) et de la Facilité élargie de crédit (FEC) », « combinés au Fonds pour la résilience et la soutenabilité (RST) » d'environ 327 millions de dollars.Pourquoi ce soutien financier ? « Premièrement, c'est de multiples crises, en commençant par le Covid jusqu'à l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie », rappelle Edward Gemayel, chef de mission du FMI pour le Sénégal, en ligne depuis Washington. « Deuxièmement, il y a de la difficulté d'accéder au financement. Le troisième facteur, c'est la question des réserves de la Banque centrale régionale qui sont en baisse depuis plus d'un an. »Les négociations sont allées très vite. En contrepartie, le Sénégal s'engage à des réformes, notamment pour lutter contre le blanchiment d'argent, pour des projets d'adaptation au changement climatique, et pour réduire la dette. « La stratégie de consolidation budgétaire a deux volets », explique Mesmin Koulet Vikot, représentant résident du FMI à Dakar. « C'est de mobiliser davantage de ressources intérieures en rationalisant les exonérations et dans le volet dépense, en limitant, en supprimant les subventions à quelques produits énergétiques. On vise le super, le gasoil et aussi la tranche haute de l'électricité. »Appui financier sur fond de tensions politiquesUn accord salué lundi 26 juin par le ministre sénégalais des Finances et du Budget devant l'Assemblée nationale. « Un des enjeux de ce programme, c'est la possibilité pour notre pays de mobiliser des ressources de 1 150 milliards de francs CFA, à des coûts très favorables, sans incidence sur notre endettement, pour la couverture des déficits des budgets de 2023, 2024, 2025 », a déclaré Mamadou Moustapha Ba à l'ouverture du débat d'orientation budgétaire. Cet appui financier intervient sur fond de tensions politiques, après des violences meurtrières début juin, et en vue de la présidentielle fixée en février. Mais pour l'heure, le FMI affiche sa confiance. « Bien sûr, on a une certaine inquiétude, mais pour le moment, nous pensons que le Sénégal pourrait dépasser cette période. C'est un pays qui, dans le passé, a toujours pu surmonter ses différends au niveau interne », souligne Edward Gemayel.Le Sénégal a enregistré l'an dernier une croissance de 4,2%.

Discover what's possible when you work kinder, not harder.  Today we're bringing back the CEO and Founder of the Global Autism Project, Molly Ola Pinney, along with the organization's Head of University and Training Programs, Ann Beirne. For the past several months, Ann and I have been working together on a very special project. We've developed Responsive Skills Training, a curriculum for entry-level autism service providers that teaches the required skills for the RBT, IBT, and ABAT credentials.  This course was co-created with the Autistic community to transform the way in which services are provided across the world. Our committee of contributors included prominent self-advocates, such as Temple Grandin and Stephen Shore, different family members, like parents and siblings, and a wide range of professionals, including speech therapists, occupational therapists, and transition specialists.  Our purpose with Responsive Skills Training, or RST for short, is to give entry-level service providers a more well-rounded understanding of autism by hearing directly from those with lived experiences.  In today's conversation, we discuss:  Why we decided to create RST The needs of the international community The importance of listening to autistic voices Reforming Applied Behavior Analysis to include neurodiversity-affirming practices The process of co-creating RST with a committee of contributors  After the conversation with Molly and Ann, you'll also hear testimonies from several RST contributors about why they decided to join this project. These were recorded in the field during our last SkillCorps volunteer trip to Kenya in March.  Featured RST contributors: Andrew Bennett, Autistic Self-Advocate, BCaBA (US) Mafer Chang, Director/Founder of Centro Enigma (Ecuador) Alexis Sevieri, Sibling Advocate, RBT (US) Laura Leonard, BCBA (US) Sangeeta Jain, Vice Principal of SOREM (India) To learn more about the Global Autism Project's Responsive Skills Training, please visit globalautismproject.org/rst.  ----more---- Related episodes: 109.

Mark welcomes back Aaron for the last part of their conversation. In this episode, Aaron drills down the importance of taking classes and taking any job if only to open more doors in the future. He discusses the pros and cons of RST and going on tour, and raises awareness on the sensitivity of certain industries to guns and even terminologies like "active shooter." We talk about the possibilities for former police and military folks in EP and much more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset.GOLDEN NUGGETSAdjusting from police officer to EP agent - Aaron: "You have street smarts. You retired, you probably have common sense. You knew how to do report writing. There was a whole thing about being retired law enforcement that has so many benefits of transitioning into EP, but what they just gotta know is how do I f*cking function in a corporate environment? How do I adjust to that environment, and how do I know to lose the whole cop vibe, blend in, and just do my job? Like that's a big thing."The 2 components of active shooter response - Aaron: "There are people that will teach, there are two components to an active shooter, there's the educational standpoint of being the employee, and then for me with Katalyst, the two programs I'm developing which are structural clearing and active shooter response. Not the product of like, Hey, there's a gunman, he's doing damage. How do we come together? How do we get in, eliminate the threat, and properly be identified and not get shot by law enforcement?" Get to know more about Aaron and inquire about his EP jobs:LinkedIn | WebsiteTo hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen to major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.

The 2022 Chevrolet Suburban makes me want a bigger garage. Because it's a bigger than full-size SUV.  Great for large families and one of the largest non-commercial vehicles on the road. it's huge inside, versatile, and available with almost every conceivable option.  Either from the factory or aftermarket. For example, it's hard to imagine a motorcade that doesn't include at least one Suburban. And Chevy Suburban is the original sport utility vehicle.  With the first one rolling out of the factory in 1935. ⇒ Martin Chevrolet is iDriveSoCal's Chevy Dealer Top-3: 2022 Chevrolet Suburban Technology Versatility Interior New For 2022 Chevrolet Suburban New for the 2022 Chevrolet Suburban includes lots of available options across trims.

But considering the four-wheel drive option seems the way to go.  Because there's not much difference in fuel economy. Fuel Economy The EPA estimates for Suburban's fuel economy vary.  Because it depends on engine and transmission combination. 2022 Suburban MPG: 5.3L V8 2WD 15/20 4WD 14/19 6.2L V8 2WD 14/20 4WD 14/19 3.0L Turbo Diesel 2WD 21/20 4WD 27/26 *All city/highway Curb Weight And Towing Capacity Depending on the configuration, the 2022 Suburban has a curb weight of between 5,616 and 6,072 lbs.

Yet Chevy's Suburban is comfortable for passengers too.  And that's not only once seated but also while getting in and out of the SUV. Furthermore, all that space for both people and stuff is well laid out and functional.  Because folding some or all the seats down is simple.

Michael Hingson 01:21 Well, Hi, and welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset. Glad you're here, wherever you are. And we have an interesting guest today. Somebody who I have to tell you the story upfront, I discovered by accident, we received an invitation to a shower from one of our relatives. And in the invite, which was an email was an advertisement for something called Wildgrain. It sounded pretty intriguing. And we weren't sure that we wanted to spend a lot of money. But by the same token, it was interesting to look at. So I went to the Wildgrain website and the first thing I heard was put your browser in a screen reader mode. Button. That immediately told me that it was a site that was helped to be made accessible by accessiBe, which is the company that I worked for. And that was pretty exciting. And that was enough to sell me on it right there. But we, we we explored it further. And you'll hear more about the company wild green a little bit later. But the bottom line was that we signed up and so because of excessive B they have a new customer so I have the one of the cofounders of wild grain with us today. Ismail Salhi, am I pronouncing that right? Ismail Salhi 02:53 That's perfect. Michael Hingson 02:54 and Ismail Welcome to unstoppable mindset. Ismail Salhi 02:58 Thanks for having me. I'm really excited to be here. and Ismail Michael Hingson 03:01 is in Boston, which are actually close to it right. You're not You're not in the city or you Ismail Salhi 03:08 know, I mean, I'm in Somerville, mass, Michael Hingson 03:10 Somerville, right. But I'm jealous. I lived in Boston for three years. And, of course, there's great food in Boston. And now we know about wildbrain. So it's even better. But I'd love to hear a little bit about your story of where you where you came from, how you grew up, and what got you into the things that you do. He is a computer science teacher at University of Massachusetts at Somerville and also is the founder of a company so there's a lot to talk about here. Ismail Salhi 03:41 Yeah, I come from North Africa country named Algeria. And I was born and raised there lived there until I was 23. Eight, I believe, and then got my engineering degree in computer science there moved to Paris to do my PhD in computer science. Then finished my PhD. This is where the bed the bread bug got into me because Paris is bread paradise. Basically, there is good bread in every street corner. But to come back to the story i i lived there for 10 years. I got my PhD degree and then I started working for a technology transfer office. I was helping companies and startups in professors and labs start new businesses and new ventures and fund them. And so I worked there for a while and got the entrepreneurship bug myself started to think about starting my own business. And then I did and that got me to Boston. We got investors here in downtown Boston and they asked us if we wanted to move to the US I send my co founder and now wife, and I moved here. Six years ago, I believe, and worked on that business for a while, got it to a certain place. And then COVID happened and destroyed the business, our most customers were in the hospitality and the support in the event business. And so all those were shut down for pretty much a year and a half. And we lost a lot of customers. And in the meantime, we were my wife got pregnant with our first son Jack, and she was looking for healthy bread to eat. And we started looking and we couldn't find anything that made us happy, because we had the European bread, we were really looking for a European style bread and, and then she started learning how to make bread and based on wild yeast, and sourdough, and she was making so much that we had to give a lot to friends and family here in the area. And we discovered that if you freeze it, it's actually more convenient, because you can refresh it whenever you want. And you have fresh bread every day, whenever you want. And that's where the idea came in. Michael Hingson 06:18 So why is it called? So the company is called Wildgrain? And why is it called Wildgrain. Ismail Salhi 06:25 So it's a play on wild yeast, which is really the main strength of our products. We use natural sourdough starter for making our breads. And that brings a lot of different health benefits to people who eat that bread. So part of it. So that's the first part of the name. And then grain is natural. We specialize in all sorts of grain products. So pasta, pastries, anything that has wheat in it, we try to make it make it delicious, but also make it a little healthier, a little easier to use and mainly focus on the artisanal process. Michael Hingson 07:09 And now you you have the company, it's up and running and you're shipping all over the United States. Ismail Salhi 07:17 Correct? We're shipping to 48. States. Yes. Michael Hingson 07:21 So you haven't gone to Alaska and Hawaii and spoiled them yet? Ismail Salhi 07:25 Not yet. It's it's pretty hard to get frozen boxes, frozen through to Alaska and Hawaii. But we'll try it. Michael Hingson 07:35 Yeah, it is, it is certainly more of a challenge, the longer you have to go, we got our first box. And it turns out that the boxes have dry ice on on the inside on the top, and ours had melted. So we understand that it would be even more of a challenge going to Hawaii. But now we're getting into the summer. So I suspect you're all going to put more dry ice in. And that will help. Ismail Salhi 08:01 Absolutely we we base the dry ice quantity that we put in every box based on where you live. So depending on your zip code, we know. We know first of all the weather that week. And that helps us know if it's going to be too warm or less warm that we can then define the quantity of dry ice we're gonna put in your box, Michael Hingson 08:20 you'd probablyhave to use a lot of dry ice if we were getting anything today. It's supposed to be in the 90s and down the hill in Los Angeles. It's supposed to get up to 100. But we're going to be in the high 80s and low 90s. So it's starting to warm up. Ismail Salhi 08:35 Luckily, we're not shipping today. Right? We don't ship in Thursday. Michael Hingson 08:42 Well, it's it's of course hit and miss with the weather anyway, we're amazed. I still think that we all missed out on not getting jobs as as weather people at television stations because it's amazing how quickly they change and how inaccurate they are for the longest period of time. I think we all missed out on getting a great source of income. That they really do try. It's it's interesting. We we lived in New Jersey for six years and we coming from California were quite amazed at the amount of bread available and pastries but especially bread. In New Jersey Of course it's very Italian and so on. So there is a lot but nothing compares to what we've been tasting with Wildgrain. Ismail Salhi 09:34 That's amazing to hear. We the secret is partly the sourdough so because because we don't sell in retail. We sell purely online we can afford basically to not put a lot of things that they have to put to be in retail. When you put a loaf on a shelf at a supermarket. You want to optimize that love to stay as long as possible. It attracted on that shelf. And so you have to put a lot of preservatives and additives to make it look good and make it stay longer. And that and they the other piece is that they because of the industrial process that they use in commercial bakeries, they churn Lopes in 20 minutes, they have these chemical E's that they use that make it pop very quickly. But that makes it deprived of all the nutrients that you want in a bread. And we use the oldest method of making food, which is fermentation that's been usually used in ancient Egypt, the same process, it's all handshake. We start with the sourdough starter, we let it ferment for more than 20 hours. And then once it's ready and full of that good bacteria that your body wants, we put it in the oven, part bake it to almost 80% of the baking is happening. And then we flash freeze it shipped to your door, and then you can finish the bake at home and have amazing fresh, high quality, very nutritious, very healthy bread at home. Michael Hingson 11:10 Which explains why it's suggested that you keep the bread frozen until you put it in the oven that you don't thought. Exactly, yes. What happens if people saw their bread and then they cook it? It's good, Ismail Salhi 11:23 you get a slight decrease in quality. It's not it's usually when you let it thaw for a day it's not noticeable but you know, the longer it stays outside in thought in the air the quickest it's going to start stealing and so yeah, the best taste you really want to make it from Frozen. Michael Hingson 11:44 Yeah, I I agree. Based on everything we've tasted stove so far. It's it's interesting, though, that you do this and you teach at UMass aren't those both kind of full time jobs. Ismail Salhi 12:00 I am part time and UMass. So I, I am an entrepreneur and residents. And so what that means is not only I get to teach every now and then but also I mentor students, staff members, when they want to, they're interested in starting their own venture, I sit down with them, help them with fundraising, help them with tech, help them with marketing. And I use my network here in Boston to support them when I can. And so it's I do it because I love it. It's just something that I always thought I'd be a teacher, but then the entrepreneur side of me one. And so I still tried to give back and talk to young people who are interested in entrepreneurship and the kind of demystify part of it, there is a lot of mean fairy tales told about entrepreneurship, good and bad. And so I want to help them see through that. Michael Hingson 13:00 What are some of the stories that people have told you, or that that you've heard about people interested in going into entrepreneurship, maybe some of the good and the bad kinds of things that you hear and the things that you have to demystify? Ismail Salhi 13:15 Yeah, a lot of them, you know, the myth of the solo founder, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. And people think if you have a vision, and you build a product, and then people will buy it, and they, you just need to be sort of a genius. And, and that's, that's it, and you know, they'll get it, they will come in my experience with my own companies and with other founders that I know it's never like this, it's really a teamwork, you better surround yourself with smarter people than yourself very early. Challenge your idea. And the second myth sort of is, the idea is key, like a lot of people think, Oh, I have an idea. Or I could have done some some of that, like, Oh, it's just an idea. Idea is maybe 2% of the business. And then 98% of it is how you execute it, how you build a team around it, how you choose the right people to work with you. And then how do you grow it from that seed into into a big forest that that sustains everything? And so I tried to show them that I tried to ask them hard questions about why they want to do what they want to do. Because if, for example, if you want money, it's better not to start. entrepreneur is a risky way to get money. There's other safer way safer ways to make money. And so usually I try to seek something about passion or something about what they really can because there's a high chance of failure. There's I think nine out of 10 startups fail. And so you really want to put that number into their head and everybody of course thinks they're going to be that 10% but more Like we they're not, they're not and they're going to fail. And so the lesson there is, hey, what how are you going to handle that failure that you're there's going to be failure within the company, there's going to be failure maybe of the entire company. So there's there's that. And then the good, of course, is just, it's amazing to meet people who have good ideas and who have that spirit in them, even though they don't know financing, or they don't know accounting, or they don't know tech. Those are things they can acquire and learn. And that's what I get excited to come in and try to help them. Michael Hingson 15:36 I've been fortunate to be around a few companies as they started up and start up. My first exposure into all of that was, in the 1970s, I was involved with the National Federation of the Blind, and Dr. Ray Kurzweil, the futurist and inventor when he was starting his company and the National Federation of blind worked with him to get funding to create what he wanted to develop, which was a machine that would read print out loud, he had developed an algorithm to literally provide Omni font optical character recognition, and was looking for a home and decided that the first thing he wanted to do was to create a machine that would read print out loud. And he did that and was helped by the National Federation of the Blind. And then I went to work for Ray, the original job I had was working for the National Federation of the Blind, with machines going to various parts of the country. And my job was to take them there, leave them, teach people to use them, do all the other things that related to making people comfortable, comfortable with a whole new concept, which was literally reading print out loud, rather than it being in Braille or just to recording. And then went to work for Ray and got to observe upfront, exactly what goes on inside of a company as its starting up. And as it's growing. And the fact was almost a victim of one of the big mistakes that a lot of technical and technology oriented startups make, and that is that the company hired too many non revenue producing people. And so they were doing lots of stuff. But they weren't bringing in the income for it. And I was actually called in one day, and I was told we've got to lay you off. It isn't that your work is bad. It is simply that we need to get more revenue produces, so we have to lay you off. And then the guy who was talking with me said, unless you want to go into sales, which was a was a compliment, although I love to say, thinking about it, knowing that the unemployment rate then as now, the unemployment rate among employable blind people is like 70%, that's seven zero. And what I love to say to people is I decided I'd lower my standards and go into sales. But the reality is, it was quite a compliment that they wanted me to do that. And they didn't want me to sell the reading machine for the blind, they had developed a new product, which really quickly became sort of the flagship product, even though the reading machine was the most well known. But the new product was a commercial version of the reading machine that banks, lawyers, publishers and other companies could purchase, to literally scan documents and convert them to various different computer forms, whether it be text or word, well, our word perfect at that time or other places. So I went into sales, and again, got to continue to watch the company grow. And I'm telling this story, because I really appreciate the work that goes into it. And you're absolutely right. It's all about the team. And it is a vision. I think any entrepreneur that has any chance of success has to have a vision, but part of that vision has to be how you're going to make it happen. Ismail Salhi 19:06 Absolutely, yeah, go to market and my first my first company was also a victim of that I was a technical founder. And as you know, technical founders, I fell in for the myth of build it they will come and then make a great product and people will buy it. And the truth is you're right you need people who to promote the product people to sell it people to talk about it, people who and it's a full time job, it's a different job and it and tech people don't know how to do it. And so you need to surround yourself early and the mistake I've made in my previous business was to focus too much on product and not focus enough on go to market and and I think that's why one of the reasons when we started Wildling was to hire ally who you know, who is our head of marketing, who is the champion at at getting the product in front of people's eyes and making people know about us, in addition of making a great product, you also need to build a machine to that helps you get that product in front of people. Otherwise, you're just making things. Michael Hingson 20:16 I joined accessiBe in January of 2021. And one of the main reasons I joined as I investigated the company and talked to a number of people at the company, was that, clearly, it was a team effort. And there was a really strong depth of knowledge about what needed to be done to make a company successful. There were, there were things that the company needed to learn. And I was able to be a part of helping that and continue to be a part of helping that. And part of that is also this podcast. But the fact is that there was a great team, the three people who were co founders of the company, founded the company, because of necessity of making websites accessible in Israel. But they saw the value and the mission and the vision of making a product that others could use. And they're still learning all the ins and outs of how to market to the community of persons with disabilities. And the things to say and not to say and that it's a very sensitive consumer group. But at the same time, they are building and continue to build a great team of people who come on board. And the company spends a good amount of time getting them to get a new hires, especially to understand what the vision is and what the goals are. And really wants to make people fit and be a part of the organization and be real contributors at all levels. Ismail Salhi 21:57 Yeah, that's, that's extremely important. I fell in love with the product itself. As a technical person and a product person in general, I am an engineer. And when I see a simple product that brings a lot of value. And in a beautiful, simple, efficient way, and that does the job, it can tell you the number of people who write in our reviews, or thank us for using accessiBe, because it's just simply very well done it it integrates beautifully with our it was a great way to onboard with them and get them started out, get us started with the product and make it work. And so I've been a promoter of accessiBe to every founder that I know and telling them how easy first of all it is to and how low impact it is for you to make your website accessible to a maximum amount of people is just a first of all, it's not because it's just a good thing to do. It's also because it's the right marketing and right way to present your company to the people you want to sell to. And we set it up, it worked amazingly fast. And we are complemented by our members and it doesn't obstruct with anything we do. And the way from just the the technical point of view of just using the product and seeing how it's built. I can see how that how much thought and how many, probably I don't know how many engineers were behind it. But I can see that it's really well done. Michael Hingson 23:42 Yeah, there, they have done a tremendous job. And there are always things to improve some of the things that the artificial intelligent widget doesn't necessarily do yet. And the reality is that will change over time. But things like you have a video up on the site and it doesn't say anything. So I as a blind person have no idea what was in the video. And of course, I corresponded with all of you about that now you're working with accessiBe to address that issue. Ismail Salhi 24:09 Absolutely. Yeah, we, I we have a lot to learn as a company on that topic. And we I mean, it was amazing that you guys pointed that out and let us know that he doesn't let the thing also you need to be thinking about now we think about it every time but and we expect that from SSV not only because we use their product but also to be our coach in learning more about how we can make websites and even our experience in general more accessible. Michael Hingson 24:43 How long have you had accessiBe to be on the site now? Ismail Salhi 24:46 I would say probably a year Michael Hingson 24:49 so you've you've grown with accessiBe be a little bit because certainly the overtime the widget is has changed and evolved. That's pretty cool. Ismail Salhi 24:56 Yeah, yeah, it's it's very, I remember it RST was pre, just this is technicalities, but it was taken some of the time to load and it was a pretty heavy piece of code. And now it's just a breezy, it doesn't impact in any way. The way our website loads, it loads nicely, synchronously. And it doesn't disrupt anything else. And so it's, it's awesome. We're very happy to have it. Michael Hingson 25:25 Yeah, it's, it's an exciting product. And it's an evolving product. And of course, it's using some of the state of the art, bleeding edge technology, this thing we call artificial intelligence, which it has been evolving for a long time. I mean, Ray Kurzweil used some of that with the original Kurzweil Reading Machine developing into it, and ability to learn different type styles or learn to recognize appropriately different characters as the machine saw them. And the more I saw of different characters, and using different algorithms, the more accurate the OCR became, with the commercial version of the machine, they actually produced a mechanism by which the user could interact with the technology and say, No, you got this word wrong, this is what it is. And that, of course, improved a lot of things in a hurry as well, they were able to do a little bit more of that with the commercial version than they could with the reading machine for the blind. But also, the reading machine for the blind originally was just a high end agency device, $50,000 per machine, so the average individual wouldn't purchase it. But Ray always knew that was going to come down. And I think that with accessiBe, again, the vision is of the technology becoming even more scalable, and more usable, and accessiBe, be providing the other tools that deal with the parts of a website, that the widget doesn't, doesn't necessarily do. And we're seeing a lot of progress in that, which is pretty exciting. Ismail Salhi 27:06 That's awesome. Yeah, I'm very excited to see what what's coming in the product line and, and honestly, understand more as well on how we can improve our access to our website and our products in general. Michael Hingson 27:24 So, so Wildgrain was co founded by you, and presumably it's your wife, who's the other co founder. Yes, correct. I'll bet she has lots of stories to tell about founding a new entrepreneurial type of endeavor to Ismail Salhi 27:39 Yeah, we're, we did it forever with our previous business. And we loved it so much that on when when our previous business was about to shut down, we were thinking about what we should do. And both of us sat down and had the option to take different jobs. And each one of us takes their own job. And we sat down and we were like, We need to work together again, because we like it. We're good at it. She's more she's a designer, a product designer by training, and very avid Baker. I am a tech person. And so we complement each other very well. And she she became an entrepreneur, just as I become become one now just jumping right into it, learning, getting better at it everyday working hard on it. And then when it came to Walgreens, there was no even there was no discussion they will it had to happen with her. And she was actually the the first loves we sold the first boxes we built were made by her hands entirely. Well, the craziest story is that we we found in Wildgrain on January 2020. So right before the pandemic, and our son was a few days old. And so we just had a newborn and started a business. And every time we tell this story, people tell us either that were very brave, or that were very stupid. Michael Hingson 29:18 Or very adventurous. Yes. What was it like founding a new venture in the time of COVID that had to create a lot of challenges and a lot of a lot of issues that you had to deal with. But at the same time, since you were moving forward with it, it must have been part of a really great adventure. Yeah, it Ismail Salhi 29:41 was like, you know, every entrepreneur story has some sort of event or dramatic event that changed everything and COVID was one of them. We we were planning to open our own bakery and do our own everything ourselves. And we did that for a while but then we People were ordering bread a lot online and we couldn't cope with the orders were just me and her and the baby. And we left our home kitchen to go to a commercial kitchen here in Woburn, Massachusetts. And then, we quickly outgrew that place. And we started trying to hire people to work for us. And but it was locked down. And nobody was working. I used to remember I, we used to drive in an empty highway because we were the only one going to work. And we couldn't hire people. And then we had a phone call with a bakery that lost a lot of business, because of COVID. So they were selling bread to hotels and to restaurants and everything was shut down. So they they didn't have any orders coming in. And we convinced them to make some of the bread for us. We taught them our recipes without them or proper baking process, how we freeze our loaves. And we partnered with them, and then we realized that that would be the right way to do it. And so instead of opening our own bakery ourselves, we started partnering with small bakeries across the country, and teaching them our method and helping them how to make our products. And that's yeah, and then we kept growing. But I remember when we were making everything, I don't know if you remember the first weeks of the pandemic, there was shortages of everything, including Oh, and so I, I remember driving with my van and I just buying flower bags and bags of 50 pounds of flour everywhere, I could find them and bringing them home. And so the baby's room will became the flower room because we just stockpiled all the flour, all the ingredients, the nuts and everything in the baby's room because we didn't have room to put them anywhere else. Michael Hingson 32:00 So I have to ask what is Jack's job in Wildgrain? I mean, you must be putting him to work Ismail Salhi 32:09 how can I describe that the his first job when we started was to just be in his bouncer and look at us bake and make pasta and make pastries and, and mix dough. And then as as we grew, he was at the office with my colleagues every day basically until we we can we can bring him babysit or we could bring a babysitter after COVID restrictions slowed down a little bit. And then he was a little bit out of the office. But my second son, Rob Robbie, he's here and he's, you can barely hear him, but he's on the back with my wife at the office and his bouncer chilling with us. Michael Hingson 32:54 Well, you certainly have to future executives, hopefully at the company. I hope I hope they Ismail Salhi 33:03 do something else. It's very, they do something more relaxing, but who knows, Michael Hingson 33:09 or, or adventurous. And I mean, you've gone through enough that you you know that sometimes you got to take risks and at least allow people to grow. And that's I think that's a scary thing today with with our society for kids, it's really tough to let them take a lot of the risks that you took, and that I took and deal with a lot of the things that we did growing up just because it's a kind of a scarier time, don't you think? Ismail Salhi 33:39 Yeah, I keep thinking about that. And I, at one point, I think we always think that but then I try to refrain from thinking that way. Because it's I tried to think about entrepreneurs 50 years ago, there was no Internet, there was no way to learn all this stuff very quickly, like we have access to there was no way to meet other like minded people and hire people online and work remotely and and so we I think we we have tools that are making entrepreneurship easier. You can test your product for very cheap now you can run interviews online, you can build websites pretty cheap. But at the same time, you you're the risk of running a business and then failing and then finding yourself in a financial complex situation that that's also scary and but I think entrepreneurs don't really care about money, they care about the thrill of the job. And they I remember I when I had normal quote unquote normal jobs, I would get really antsy and if the if I'm not challenged by the job, I would get bored very quickly. And I think it's part of that that drives entrepreneurs is this thrive to just be be challenged and work on hard problems to solve. Michael Hingson 35:03 Well, the other side of it is that if you never try it, you won't learn nearly as much as if you just read about the theory. So at some point, you have to step out. And it's the same with kids, they've got to experience it's part of growing up, it's part of life. It's part of evolving. Ismail Salhi 35:22 Yeah, absolutely. I, I am a fervent believer of, yeah, do it, do it to learn it that 10,000 hours, whatever you want to do spend $10,000 doing it, and you'll be good at it. There's no, there is talent. Of course, there's people who are gifted, but you can't count on that, as an individual, you have to really put in the work and, and once you put in the work, you'll get good at it regardless. So i i That's why part of what attracted me in to move into the US is this really attitude toward work and the work ethic of Americans in general is very interesting to me, and a very good concept that you don't find in other places of the world that I've been Michael Hingson 36:11 to. So what what's different? What do you what do you mean by that? Ismail Salhi 36:16 I think a lot of Europeans, for example, work, but see work as just work as part of their life. And they live for the weekend, they, of course, I'm generalizing. And this is not everybody, but in the US, I think people make work more part of their life and embedded more into what their personal beliefs and what their passion is. And they try to make it it's more important part of their life than I think in Europe. And there is less cynicism about work here and more positive attitude toward work ethic and putting in the hard work and trying to improve and learning and failing. There's also a very good attitude toward failure here, that doesn't exist in Africa or in Europe, where if you fail there, it's it's kind of a stigma versus in the US, if you fail, the first question they ask you is what did you learn about your failure? Michael Hingson 37:17 And how will you then use that knowledge? Ismail Salhi 37:20 Exactly? Michael Hingson 37:21 What do you think about the concept that we often hear, which is that in the case of companies, especially companies that have shareholders and so on, their only function is to make money for shareholders and to make them richer? Well, I Ismail Salhi 37:38 yeah, I disagree with that, I don't think I think you you are a company that doesn't, doesn't care about their shareholder cannot function and cannot attract more investors or more customers. And, and, and so I don't think refusing that entirely is a good idea. But I think the opposite is also a crazy idea. I think the first people I think I'll be for my shareholders is my employees, and my customers, and then the shareholders are important as well, because they support us into this mission. Um, but I'm, I'm not I'm definitely not waking up every day thinking about my shareholders, I think about how my customers are feeling I think about my employees and how the workplace is for them and how I can support them. But I do not work for my shareholders, I work for my customers, I think, and that's a good attitude to have. Michael Hingson 38:37 If it's interesting now, what last week, we just heard that at one of the major Amazon warehouses in New York, they unionize the first time that's happened. And of course, I'm know that there are two sides to it. But you hear employees and the more, if you will, liberal aspects of society saying that's a good thing. I suspect that there are people on the other side of that as well. But one has to wonder why enough people felt it was necessary to unionize, to cause that to occur, and whether that's a sign that maybe they weren't paying enough attention to employees, I don't know. And now the union coming along and saying we want you to pay attention to us. I come from Ismail Salhi 39:27 Europe where and I forgot actually where almost every job is unionized. And so for me, it's less shocking than it is in the US. I I am. I'm not anti union. I think I'm at least in Germany and in France. Every job is unionized, almost 90% of jobs are unionized. And there it's a good thing. It's structured in a way that the union tries to help the employees have a say. I think it's always better when your company you can make everybody happy without having to unionize. But I agree with you when you say, if they are unionizing them then then there is maybe something wrong in the communication between the leadership and the employees of the company, Michael Hingson 40:16 somewhere there has to be a disconnect or connection that needs to be reestablished when that sort of thing occurs. I know I've seen examples of, of unionization, where the unions had too much power. I remember working for a company. Well, it was actually quantum Corporation, the company I worked for when I was in the World Trade Center on September 11, but before then, I was working for Quantum. And we had when actually was even way before Quantum. But anyway, I was working for a company that made a product that a financial firm wanted to buy. And in addition to the product, they wanted us to manufacture a device or a stand to hold the product, what it what it was, the product itself, can best be described as a pizza box. And at that time, Sun Microsystems made what was called the spark workstation, which was a pizza box, you put it on a table, and you could put the monitor on top of it, it was very flat, literally, it looked like a pizza box. And we made a disk subsystem in the same form factor. And this particular company said we want you to make a bracket. So we can mount the pizza box to the side of a desk. Okay, that made sense. Then, when we made the first prototypes, the union heard about it and came in and said to the financial company, are these people a union shop? And they asked us and no, it wasn't, it was a small company that I was working for at the time, it wasn't quite them. And they said, we were not a union shop. And the union said, well, then you can buy it from them, we have to make it and we're gonna charge you $160 whereas we were going to charge $40. And when the guy told me this, who we were working with at the firm, he said, over the weekend, the union is gonna probably flex its muscles to drive the point home that we can't work with you, we have to work with them. And they did, they actually caused an elevator to stop running. And so suddenly, they had to have a marshal fire marshal, the union representatives from the elevator company come in on a Friday night to check the elevator. And that meant that it was after five o'clock, so they got time and a half or double time for that. And they kept the elevator not working and eventually deciding that they could now test it, even though they didn't have to do anything to the elevator. But they started testing it at about midnight, which meant now we went into Saturday, which meant that the people doing the work got triple time. And eventually, like about five in the morning, they said the elevator could be used. There was nothing wrong, but it was all about saying the unions are the only ones you can listen to. And that's unfortunate, too. Ismail Salhi 43:13 Yes, absolutely. It's always you know, a fight between two sides. And the best place to be is to be in the middle where nobody's fighting, and your company is doing a great job communicating with everybody and not people don't feel the need to unionize, if if you're doing a good job. If you're not, then you probably have been doing some damage for quite a while. And now people are upset. And so it's kind of tricky to navigate that on and maintain. And so I think that the job of a founder is always to be eyes open and ears open to their employees and their customers, as I said, like, this is the obsession that we have is to make sure that everybody's happy at that company and every customer is happy. And as long as you have that the magic formula will work. If you don't have that you're kind of starting the trouble. Michael Hingson 44:09 I think you say that in a in a really interesting way when everyone is working together when people at the company are generally happy and and the the leadership of the company is making people feel like they're part of it. It is magic. And it is something that you don't see in other places. And the magic is really important. Ismail Salhi 44:32 Oh yeah, it's crucial. I mean, it's we spend most of our awake time at work. It's the place where we spend the most time we spend time at work more than with our spouses with our children. And so it's extremely important to show people especially the new generations are having so much opportunity you have to show them that they're valued you have to show them that they have an impact and you have to give them ownership of Have their jobs so that they can evolve in them and be happy and it is established in them. And, and I think if you if you fail to do that you will lose your best people, you invest employees and, and customers start feeling that and then it's a vicious cycle. And the opposite is true. If you make your employees happy, it's going to reflect on your customers, and it's a virtuous cycle and people will use your company will be better that way. And so I think as long as you have the mission, and that drives people, as long as you have the right people, and as long as you're building the right stuff, you're you're doing the right thing. As a founder, Michael Hingson 45:46 it's always a balance to make sure that people are happy and feeling satisfied, but at the same time, getting them to feel the drive and wanting and hoping that they will drive and work as hard in their own ways as you the visionary does, because you really want them to become part of the vision and emotionally buy into it, as opposed to forcing people to do that. Ismail Salhi 46:14 Absolutely. And that's, that's part of why we hire. We don't have a strong belief in hiring very experienced people, we were very, how can I phrase this, we want people who are versatile, so we're in the startup, you know, it's everybody does everything until it becomes too much. And then we try to solve that. And, for example, I was doing even our label design, and I was doing the website, and then engineering and the financials, the bookkeeping, and then I was doing customer support and marketing. And Brandon was sometimes jumping on the packing line, and sometimes working on operations. And every single one of us has multiple roles. And when you try to hire people who won't budge on that, and won't buy into division, they will quickly get overwhelmed and say this is not why he was hired for and, and that attitude, I understand it, not everybody's cut for a startup. But that's why hiring for us is very important. And we try to find that spark, in in people, when we try when we talk to them in interviews, and we try to bring them into the company is are you really ready to for this, it's gonna be a lot of you know, sweat and blood and tears, and it's gonna be hard. But hopefully there's a reward, you see the effect of your work, you'll learn a lot more than in other jobs. And you in in one or two years, you'll learn what you would learn in an corporate job, maybe in four or five years, because everything goes so fast. They say, you know, your job changes every six months in a startup? Well, in COVID times, I think it was every three months, your job title changes. Michael Hingson 48:06 Yeah, it's part of the necessity, I sort of learned a lot of the things that I learned more vicariously than from experience. I didn't have any kind of job in high school other than my brother and I had a paper route. But he also went to work for a restaurant, he wanted his own job, and he wanted to earn some money. So he applied at this place of wouldn't be a fast food, it was a diner kind of place near where we lived. And they said, Okay, we're gonna hire you. First thing we want you to do is to go out into the lot in the back and pull weeds. He went out without question, pulled and got rid of all of the weeds in the backyard. And the the owner came out like two hours later and said, you're done. And he said, Yeah, they're there all times, which made him really much more respected by the owner because he just did it. And it was what he was asked to do. And he felt that his job was to take direction. And over time, he he did other things there, but and it was a good thing. But he he did what he should. And I remember that even though I never had a job. I remember that. The reality is that you're going to have a lot of different opportunities. And also you need to be flexible in what you do. And what you want to do because it doesn't always start out just the way you think it will. Ismail Salhi 49:35 Exactly never does. Michael Hingson 49:38 It never does. How large is wildbrain today. Ismail Salhi 49:43 We are a small team of four people work here and then we have partners partner bakeries all across the country. So in Maine and Massachusetts and Wisconsin and California. We have our fulfillment party. nors we have our member support team, who is the six people team? And yeah, that's it. We have a couple of consultants for digital marketing. Michael Hingson 50:12 So. So do we get our bread from a bakery here in California? Ismail Salhi 50:18 Most likely, yes. Michael Hingson 50:21 Where do you have partners in Southern California? Ismail Salhi 50:24 I think we have partners in San Francisco. Michael Hingson 50:29 Okay. Well, that's a good place for sourdough anyway. Ismail Salhi 50:32 Yes. I mean, it's sourdough in the US. Michael Hingson 50:36 Yeah. Well, I will certainly be looking forward to someday being up back up there and going into someplace and finding that they're using Wildgrain sourdough, that'll be the ultimate for me. But it is a it's it is an adventure. And it's great that you're partnering. And obviously, as you grow, you'll you'll get more people and more partners and so on. How big of a company is it right now in terms of sales and all that if that's something you can talk about? Ismail Salhi 51:07 I can't share too much. But I can share that we've grown 300% from 2020 to 2021. And we're still growing pretty strong in 2022. Oh, great. We're it's it's a crazy ride. It's it's been very, very pleasant to watch, but also very hard to execute on a lot of challenges. As you may imagine, you've been through the startup many businesses and say that, you know, and so yeah, we're we're extremely happy with with the way people are responding to our product, people can go to our reviews page and see how people what people think it's my favorite thing to do. When I feel too tired and exhausted from work, I go to the reviews page. And it makes me extremely happy to see how people react to our product. Michael Hingson 52:01 I'm assuming there is continued, and maybe even accelerating growth as we come out of COVID. Ismail Salhi 52:08 Yes, it is. We were kind of on the lookout on what was happening post COVID. But it doesn't look like people are changing their habits, I think they got introduced to a lot of things. So part of a lot of our members are live in areas where there is no good bakery around. And so in an urban area, it's in provincial areas, there's sometimes the closest thing to their house is a Walmart and it's a 30 minute ride. And so having high quality products delivered to their door without them having to drive an hour to get it is a tremendous value proposition for them. And so we are very proud to serve these customers and get them our products. I Michael Hingson 52:58 remember growing up living in a town fairly close to us, but 55 miles away Palmdale, California, we had a bakery that we would visit, especially on Saturday mornings, because we would time it to get there just as they were pulling rye bread out of the oven. Yeah. And so it was too hot to even put in a plastic bag, we would get it in the loaf bag paper, take it home. And just cut off hunks and put butter on it and eat it off all of us. And in my family. There's nothing like fresh baked bread like that, which is Ismail Salhi 53:38 the best way to eat bread is to eat it warm and to eat it with butter and or olive oil or any like the simplest thing and it becomes a meal and it's the best meal. It's the oldest food one of the oldest foods we react very, you know, it's a very primal reaction to regret is the oldest thing humans, one of the oldest things humans have been eating for a long, long time. Michael Hingson 54:01 As an entrepreneur, where do you see conditions and things going over the next few years? Hopefully, as we come out of COVID whether it be how will it be enhancing and improving for wildbrain? Or what do you see in terms of just business and opportunities? Ismail Salhi 54:19 Yeah, we're, we're excited about the future. We think people and our generation and people in general are looking for healthier options for their diet. People are more in tune with with their bodies want and are kind of sick of artificial things and and so we we our job is to educate people on why you know, carbs isn't are not bad carbs are bad when they're deprived of their nutrients and why they're good for you if you make them the right way than the way nature intended, as we say and I've agreed, and that's where we're pushing For and so our job as a company is going to be to educate people on eating healthier. Breads, pasta pastries, providing the best quality we can provide and delivering a five star delivery to your door where you and your family can enjoy all our products. And so as long as we keep doing that, we the sky's the limit, we want to become the online bakery of everybody in the country. And we're building the team and the products to do so.

Time really flies, because the 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe marks the second model year of the icon's 5th generation. Whoah, 'icon' - really?  Yes.  Perhaps that's this reporter's opinion but my bet is that there are plenty who agree. ⇒iDSC's Chevy HQ is Martin Chevrolet! The seven (and up to eight) passenger Tahoe shares the platform with a couple of siblings.  But there's always been something special about the full-size SUV. Although the GMC Yukon is slightly more upscale.  And the Cadillac Escalade is even a bit more upscale.  The Chevy Tahoe just brings it all.  Performance, styling, and capability. Moreover, the big sport-ute costs less than its aforementioned brethren.  And I dig that! 2022 Chevy Tahoe Top-3: Drive Styling Interior ⇒Continue reading below and click play to listen.⇐ 7-8 Passenger full-size SUV 2022 Chevy Tahoe - New For 2022 So, just last year Tahoe was all-new.  But Chevy continues to inspire with available new stuff for 2022. For example, there are some cool new exterior colors - auburn metallic, evergreen gray metallic and darks ash metallic. Plus some cool tech options.  Like reverse auto-braking.  Also, front and rear park assist.  Additionally lane-keep assist with lane departure warnings.  Camera monitoring views get enhanced along with Google Assistant. Even better is the digital instrument cluster.  That comes standard on LT trims and above.  Finally, we can't leave out the 6.2-liter V8 that's now available for Premier and Z71 trims. Trims And Pricing As always Chevrolet provides multiple trims, and all of these assure you are able to make Tahoe explicitly yours. 2022 Tahoe trims and starting MSRPs:  LS $50,200 LT $55,600 RST $58,800 Z71 $60,800 Premier $63,600 High Country $70,500 Also, the test driver you see pictured throughout this post is a 4WD LT. Engines, Transmissions, And Gas Mileage Tahoe is a true sport utility vehicle.  Which, might be obvious to some.  But in the world of crossover SUVs, that's worth pointing out. But while it's closer to a truck than a car, Chevy doesn't go to the extent of engine and transmission options.  Like, for example, what the carmaker does with Silverado. Engines For 2022 Tahoe can come with three different motors: 5.3L V8, 355 horsepower, and 383 pound-feet of torque 6.2L V8, 420 hp, and 460 lb-ft of torque 3.0L Turbo-Diesel, 277 hp, and 460 lb-ft of torque Drivetrain Regardless of the powerplant, the 2022 Chevy Tahoe comes equipped with the same transmission.  And it's a smooth-shifting and efficient 10-speed automatic. So you're left with the choice of 2WD or 4WD.  And here's another point that might be obvious but worth noting.  The 2WD option is rear-wheel drive. MPG When it comes to fuel-economy Tahoe is in really good shape. Because a full-size Tahoe delivers about the same EPA estimated fuel economy as my midsize Toyota Tacoma.  (And that hurt, frankly, when a realized it!) 2022 Tahoe Fuel-Economy: 5.3L V8 2WD 15/20 4WD tbd/tbd 6.2L V8 2WD 14/20 4WD 14/19 3.0L turbo-diesel 2WD 21/28 4WD 20/26 *All city/highway Speaking of my Tacoma, that's a 2WD - making the fuel-economy comparison all the more painful! And it used to be that I'd suggest buying 4WD only if you think you'll be using it.  But with Tahoe's fuel efficiency, just get the 4WD. Because it doesn't cost that much more anyway.  Plus, it increases your resale value.  So, you might as well have it. 8 to 10-inches of ground clearance What Does 2022 Chevy Tahoe Look Like? I love the look of the new Tahoe - this fifth generation we're enjoying.  While that's not changed from last year to this year it's both a beautiful and bold design. For instance, even though the trim pictured throughout this post is an LT trim, it's still a handsome SUV.  Remember that the LT is only one step above the base-model LS.

The 2022 Chevy Silverado headlines the first-ever ZR2 trim option. This is in addition to a slew of newly upgraded interiors, technology enhancements, and more. And while it's all good news for Chevy's top-seller.  It's the factory-lifted serious off-road-ready ZR2 that might excite the most. Because even if you're not an off-road enthusiast, the overall halo effect of the tech trickles down to everything else.  Both on and off-road-related. ⇒ Martin Chevrolet = iDriveSoCal's Southern California Chevrolet Dealer  -->Continue reading below and click play to listen.

General Motors unveiled a new personal self-driving electric concept car from GM's luxury brand Cadillac on Wednesday during the CES technology show. The sleek two-passenger car, called InnerSpace, is part of Cadillac's Halo Concept Portfolio, which debuted a year ago at CES with an urban air mobility vehicle and a shared autonomous shuttle. General Motors plans to build a work truck version of its new electric Chevrolet Silverado for commercial customers and a fully loaded luxury model that will retail for more than $100,000 when it launches the new pickup next year. The Detroit automaker on Wednesday said a WT, or Work Truck, will be the first truck offered to fleet buyers in spring 2023, followed by a fully loaded $105,000 RST limited first edition model for consumers next fall. GM said the work truck will start at $39,900. Walmart and FedEx plan to add thousands of electric delivery vans produced by General Motors to their massive vehicle fleets in the coming years, the companies announced Wednesday. Walmart has signed a new agreement with the Detroit automaker to reserve 5,000 BrightDrop vans, while FedEx – BrightDrop's first customer – is building on an initial order of 500 vehicles that GM began delivering last month. FedEx on Wednesday said it has agreed to a deal for 2,000 more vehicles over the next several years. That order could potentially increase to 20,000 electric vans, according Richard Smith, FedEx regional president of the Americas. Electric vehicle maker Lucid plans to start selling its cars in Europe this year. The California-headquartered firm, which competes with Tesla, announced the expansion on Tuesday after a Twitter user asked if an image of some new Lucid owners were based in the U.K.

And yes, we can put sex and drugs and Jesus all in the same bed and still be all right. At the end of the day, my name is De'Vannon and I'll be interviewing guests from every corner of this world. As we dig into topics that are too risky for the morning show, as we strive to help you understand what's really going on in your.[00:00:24] There was nothing on the table and we've got a lot to talk about. So let's dive right into this episode.[00:00:34] De'Vannon: The master student is the creator of Crumb TV, which is his conscious community media company. He is a content creator and social media influencer with about a hundred thousand followers across several social media platforms. The master's student is proficient in and dedicated to the auto learning, understanding and sharing that.[00:00:56] And he specializes in PowerPoints of diverse subjects. He [00:01:00] had humble beginnings back in 2009. And since then he has arisen through the ranks of conscious social media as a passionate online personality with compelling content. He teaches history, science, and religion with an unapologetic spirit and fervor for the unadulterated truth.[00:01:14] Y'all. And today we're going to be talking about lesbians and urine, and I promise you, you will not be disappointed.[00:01:24] Crumb, crumb, crumb. Welcome to this show of so glad to have you. Um, and you, you've got to be one of the most charismatic, interesting people I've ever had. The pleasure of finding out there in the wide world of media. Your smile is contagious, your energy is contagious.[00:01:46] And what I love the most about you is that you have very sharp opinions and perspectives on things. And, um, and that is what we are going to be diving into [00:02:00] today on this show. Yes, we will be talking about the history of lesbians, but before we get into that, we're going to dig into some fun facts and things about you as well.[00:02:10] I understand more of where you're coming from. So, uh, I watched her video history of lesbians. It was a phenomenal on myself being LGBT, a member of the alphabet mafia. It's a lot of what I call us, alphabet mafia. Uh, you know, I love it. You know, any kind of delicious titillate I can get my hand on it. I can read or watch a good video about our history, about us from open-minded people.[00:02:40] Now, I want you to say hello though, as you address the people and all of the different languages that you did on your video, because I thought that was cool. [00:02:52] Crumb: Absolutely. Number one, I will do, as you say, but before I do that, may I. Give you the, uh, [00:03:00] honors you deserve. I want to thank you for allowing me on a platform.[00:03:03] I am so humbled. I'm honored. I'm appreciative. Uh, it is exciting. I'm excited to be here. Uh, so I just want to give, you know, give you your flowers first and foremost with that said yes. If you could repeat after me. [00:03:16] De'Vannon: I don't mind if I did peace. Peace. I shame. I say [00:03:22] Crumb: Islam is long now. Mistake, [00:03:26] De'Vannon: Nama day who been to Ubuntu.[00:03:30] Oh, PSEO of fail. Halito Helito boom, boom. What Guan gone, [00:03:42] Crumb: whatever the respect of greeting in your language. I am your humble brother Crump here on second. Drugs and Jesus. Oh my God. Yes, brother. That's how I do things on my platform. I'm grateful to do it on yours. Thank you for joining me the way I usually do it.[00:03:59] When in [00:04:00] Rome do as the Romans, how are you brother? [00:04:03] De'Vannon: I'm doing fabulous. Um, I can't complain. I want to, I want to very humbly throw in my, uh, Coney Tiwa.[00:04:19] I've got to, because I'm studying Japanese, you know, to that have visited Japan a couple of years ago. And I was already in love with Godzilla and anime and everything like that. And I finally solidified that with hanging out with the peoples. So now I'm studying the language itself, so I cannot leave out my Japanese people.[00:04:38] Um, because it's gonna throw a little bit of shade at their prime minister for hosting the Olympics, because I don't think he should have done that in the middle of a pandemic while they got the COVID outbreak going on amongst the. Okay. Okay. But I do understand it to be politically fueled since he's like up for reelection a few months.[00:04:55] I think it's a hot mess. I love Japan and the people of Japan are not really [00:05:00] happy with him for doing that. I just wanted to talk about that and talk about him. He was talking about Japan other than that great country. Absolutely. So, um, so you have crumb TV. I want you to tell us about your website, your PowerPoints, and the things you have going on and your YouTube channel, which is quite prolific.[00:05:22] Crumb: Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yeah, I could. Well, okay. My biggest platform as of this particular, second is an because that's just how quickly it changes is YouTube. It's crumb TV. And it started out as crumb snatcher. I just wanted to expand it to, I started working with other people it's not egotistical.[00:05:42] I was thinking in the mind of CNN, you know, it's not the guy who owned CNN's name, it's CNN. Uh, and I wanted crumb TV to be more so like that, where it's less about me and more about the information. Um, I am on Instagram. I am on Twitter. I, I, I've got [00:06:00] a viral Twitter thing going on. Um, I'm on, uh, uh, Facebook.[00:06:06] I have a huge platform, like 60,000 on Facebook, but you know, the reason I don't really promote. Thank you. Thank you. The reason I don't promote those platforms cause they they'll be monetize me. They'll shadow banned me. They'll restrict me. And I'm just tired of promoting everybody's platform and they, they do me so janky.[00:06:24] So, uh, my. The headquarters is crumb tv.info. I know it's not the.com or.net, but I felt.info fit. So I just ran with it, crumb tv.info. It's in the spirit of what I do. So I hope I answered your question. [00:06:41] De'Vannon: Yeah, you, you did. That's the exact thing I thought when I went to your website, it said.info. And I was like, you know, I don't really ever see that, but the way your website is compelled, I think that this made more sense than a.com for you and it's all on the same internet anyways.[00:06:55] So it doesn't really matter what the.is. So, [00:07:00] but of the choices that I think that you made the best one, but give me more detail. Are you out to say something? [00:07:06] Crumb: Yeah. I just remembered now that I think about the website, um, you asked me about the PowerPoints and, you know, I guess that would really encompass a lot of what I do.[00:07:16] So I. I come from Christianity, you know, it's the same old story. I'm just like you in so many different ways. I know that's your background as well. So I'm innocently not trying to be a rebel. I was a good Christian brother. I was a good Christian [00:07:33] De'Vannon: emphasis on was[00:07:41] Crumb: we fall down, but we get up.[00:07:48] So, um, uh, I was asking questions, not from a place where I'm, I'm, I'm going against anything. So, you know, um, I was received with push. It wasn't a [00:08:00] pleasant experience. And, um, the internet had came out. I I'm, I'm 38. I'll be 39. This November, I'm close to 40, you know, I [00:08:10] De'Vannon: I'm, I'll be 39 in December. Come off. Oh, really?[00:08:14] I'm 38. [00:08:15] Crumb: Okay. So our age group, we are, you know, where I'm from. I know where you from, you know, I'm your reflection. So now, um, uh, I didn't, we didn't grow up with cell phones. You know, I can remember a time where we had C like I thought tapes was old school. Now CDs are old school, right. iPods are old school.[00:08:36] Right. Th the, you know, it's, it's been a really quick jump for, for our age group. I digressed. So now, um, I'm just now getting on the computer, really just, you know, prior to. Um, adulthood, I didn't have access to a computer until, unless I went to school and that was all for educational purposes. So, um, I'm, I'm asking questions on the internet [00:09:00] and I was received with the same energy as the church.[00:09:03] It was a V go, look it up, go do your research. And this is what people even say now. Um, and for me, I don't like that energy. So I decided to be a thought leader. I decided to be an influencer. I'm not going to tell people to look it up. Maybe I'm going to influence people to be lazy or to be a slave, to my own portion of understanding.[00:09:21] But I think. I've done for you. What I've done for everybody else, I've run interest to a topic I've shared my opinion. I want to encourage everybody, even your listeners. Of course, absolutely shout out to everybody who's within the listening audience. So, you know, let me broach the topic, but by all means my, my portion of understanding is not the end all be all.[00:09:41] I think it makes for great conversation. It makes for the whole, the holistic learning experience. And the PowerPoints is what I do is on a Chrome TV, a website, and all my plat platforms, you know, even on Instagram, I'll just break the PowerPoints up into like a little tidbit and Hey, the one minute teaser type of thing.[00:09:58] And that's basically [00:10:00] what I do. And I think that's in essence, what I was trying to show you what you caught on to. [00:10:06] De'Vannon: Right. And, um, and I, I agree. I like, um, I like the whole concept of being a thought provoking. Um, I'm, I'm a stronger advocate though, of people. Doing their own research. Not necessarily if somebody, like, if you're, if you ask somebody a question and that's the way they responded to you and they're supposed to be an expert on it, or they're supposed to know more than you, I don't like that.[00:10:35] But, but in order for us to not become codependent on pastors, preachers and stuff like that is a form of independence and the be sure of you not food, you know, and stuff like that. That's why I say, well, perhaps we should fact check, you know, like that, but sometimes people are not going to be motivated to get up and like go grab a thick ass concordance.[00:10:57] Like I will, um, [00:11:00] in the commentary. So maybe an interesting video like yours and that can go, um, you know, head, head achingly deep into something might be less intimidating for somebody to get them down that path. So I think that it's a good thing that you have and stuff like that. Um, now I'm more of a. A hard ass about people becoming, you know, disciplined in their research, just because of my history, having been the one with my head way too far up of past, or the assets and believing what they said.[00:11:32] And without question, and I ended up getting myself hurt over that kicked out of the church and everything for being a member of the alphabet, a mafia, my letters have changed over the years. So, um, and so I really don't want people to fall into that trap of thinking, just because they're up on a stage, they know more know the truth.[00:11:55] And, um, but you know, our parents are the people who brought us to church in my, in my [00:12:00] experience, never taught us to question the people up there. They just told us what they said goes, and now we're supposed to change. We think according to what they say, and that's both shit that, oh, shit. Okay. So a couple of fun facts and things about you before we talk about our delicious, lovely lessees, or, or as you said on your video, nah,[00:12:29] I want to talk about, apparently you drink your own urine. Um, when I read this, it reminded me of when I used to get high on crystal meth and engage in water sports. I think I did that like at least one time, like, like, like you had to go like let a guy pee in my asshole and that's like a whole fetish and everything like that, which I'm not into, but when I used to be high on meth and there was nothing I would say no to, I would do any fucking thing question, but [00:13:00] tell us why is it some health things that like a holistic thing?[00:13:03] Is it spiritual? [00:13:06] Crumb: Well, absolutely. You know, it's, it's, it's incredible for me when people ask the question, it's in such a way that it's obvious that they know the answer, you know, not, not even sliding your question, but I feel like you, you you're connected. And I think that's why it even, you know, resonated with you to, uh, to, to ask about it.[00:13:25] Um, a lot of people, they can't even fathom. That's what I always say, especially in the age of, you got to Google it to get the right answer. You got to ask the right question and I have to, I have to, um, uh, give you your flowers again, because you were able to ask the right question. So basically let's start from, from, from day one, when we're dealing with drinking our year and the pertinent that the average person will tell, you know, I've never drank in my urine.[00:13:50] Well, the reality is we've all drank in our urine. If we look at when we're in the womb, uh, doing gestation when our mothers are carrying us, uh, that, that. [00:14:00] Called amniotic fluid that the baby's floating in that's urine. Like the mama doesn't get big until maybe around the fifth month, second trimester, or, you know, whatever the case may be.[00:14:11] But that's because the baby's kidneys have just formed around him. So now she's going to fill up with urine. So now, um, urine is really the fountain of youth. Um, it's it's, it's going to keep you looking youthful now. Uh it's. I will drink my urine. No problem. I'm not saying I don't. However, comma I am saying that it's probably going to be best to drink a woman's urine.[00:14:33] Number two is going to be best to drink a pregnant woman's urine because she has four kidneys. She's the only person. I mean animals, but you know, she's the only human who's able to, who, you know, has, has a filtration system that's sophisticated at any point in time. One more point I'll pass the mic. My father was a diabetic.[00:14:51] A lot of our families, we have diabetes, whether that be the bad cultures, slavery, poor choices, whatever the [00:15:00] case may be. Um, you know, diabetes runs in our families, not saying it's hereditary, but due to conditions above our control sometimes anyway. So, you know, uh, my father was no exception to that. He lost his kidneys, um, and they had this big machine.[00:15:15] This is, this is called a dialysis unit. And I'm like, dang, this big machine, which is bigger than me. I'm, I'm, I'm only five, six bear with me. Um, so machine is bigger than me and it's supposed to replace the job of a kidney. This. I'm sorry, your kidneys about the size of your fist, same thing with your heart.[00:15:32] It's about to, you know, relatively whatever that size. So, you know, the sophistication of the kidney is just out of this world. I'll just, I'll pass the mic from there. [00:15:42] De'Vannon: Right. It is very sophisticated. And I learned a lot about that. My massage therapy training, cause I'm a licensed massage therapist. And so, so we had to get, I had to dig all into the anatomy and just the way the body works in and of itself is it's like a, it's like a computer [00:16:00] in different parts, know everything.[00:16:01] And so, so yeah, anything all out there that can vanish or rebuke diabetes. So this is a big deal. Like my aunt had it and my grandmother had it, you know, like, um, you know, you know, my boyfriend's dad, I think has it, you know, it's a big deal, especially here in south and you over there in, uh, in Atlanta, Yeah.[00:16:24] And, uh, oh, which is where my boyfriend's family's from. They, they, uh, they up north they're in Snellville, [00:16:32] Crumb: Snellville shut up Snellville. [00:16:34] De'Vannon: And, uh, so yeah, anything that you can do, Hey, I'm that, you know, what they can't hurt you is all natural. It is an organic drink. [00:16:42] Crumb: Well, I I'll say this just to kind of make it, uh, more anecdotal.[00:16:47] I remember grandma would say, um, to clear your skin up, wipe your face with the baby's pee pamper. Have you heard that before? [00:16:56] De'Vannon: use like watermelon Rines.[00:17:00] [00:17:01] Crumb: Okay. Okay. That's that's that's dope. Um, okay. Well, have you heard this when you get stung by jellyfish, you pee on it? [00:17:10] De'Vannon: Yeah. Okay. [00:17:13] Crumb: So you only reason I'm bringing these things up is because in our culture, you know, at the mom and dad level, not at the hospital, but you know, we, we, we know in certain aspects, the urine has a medicinal effect to some minor degree.[00:17:29] The urine is medicinal that's that's, that's, that's at the very least of what I can say. You know, I can go on for an hour. I know you got more for me. I just want to make an argument, uh, pro urine. [00:17:42] De'Vannon: Right? And look, I I'll hang a yellow bend down out of my back pocket. Some people out there bandanas in the, in the gay world have meaning, you know, yellow bandanas has to do with water sports.[00:17:54] The black one might be. BDSM don't quote me on that, but it's like a whole [00:18:00] color chart of different bandanas colors and what they mean in the fetish world, because I did like fetish research at one point, I thought [00:18:07] Crumb: you would just be in funny. Okay. That's true.[00:18:17] De'Vannon: But no, like I was watching Madonna on David Lerman years ago and she was saying like how she pees on her feet to get like, you can do it and it'll clear out like athlete's feet. I don't know if she was saying, I don't know if she was saying she had, at least when she was saying that she knows it because of the enzymes in the urine or something.[00:18:35] So I pee on my feet all the time. I'm like, by the way, it's this year and in the shower, [00:18:41] Crumb: David. Uh, huh? He is is, is one now he's, he's not a, a propagator of drinking, but I ha uh, if you go on YouTube, but internet, whatever, uh, and look up, you know, uh, you're in therapy. He's one of the people going to come up.[00:18:58] Um, I don't even really, you [00:19:00] know, deal with him. I I've heard of him, but you know, other than when I saw him do that, like, oh wow, he's doing it. And it was like a real at home video, like on his Instagram. He's like, yeah, guys, you know, there's an old video, but nonetheless, um, you know, he had, did like, Hey guys, this is what I do at night.[00:19:16] Uh, he'll just do whatever, um, you know, and just wipe it off in the morning or whatever the case may be. Uh, so he's another one. And I would say, I know there's a lot of Hollywood magic smoking mirrors, but you know, from what I saw on his Instagram, or I don't know where he was at, but from what I saw in his raw video, his skin looked pretty.[00:19:34] De'Vannon: Yeah. He's, he's kept himself looking good over the years. His teeth is like the main thing he's gotten, like, you know, endorsements for and stuff like that. Um, so I'm curious, do you filter it or do you just pee right in the cup and gulp it down or you refrigerated and you take it with. The sugar and salt, the rim, you know, how exactly do you, how has this served?[00:19:59] Crumb: [00:20:00] You[00:20:05] know? Yeah. I, uh, actually try to get it as fresh as possible. I wouldn't drink it after about a day. Um, when you're dealing with urine, the main active ingredient is urea. Urea is synthesize nitrogen and on a science-y level is going to go through a cycle. If, if, if you're in sits for too long, it starts to turn into a Monia.[00:20:26] It starts to get a smell to it. So fresh urine is absolutely the best. Um, now here's another unpopular one is not as, as, as big as urine, but it's very unpopular, um, uh, urine as well as all drinks should be certain, not all drinks, but drink should be served at room two. Your drink should be served at room temperature.[00:20:47] So, um, uh, your urine, as soon as you urinated out, it's already at body temperature. I'm sorry. Excuse me. Not room temperature, you room temperature, body temperature, please. Forgive me. Um, so now, [00:21:00] uh, just like with your water, I am a supporter or, or a propagator of drinking room, temperature, water as a health benefit.[00:21:07] I know we're supposed to be talking about things a little bit more exciting, but Hey guys, you know what, if you want to be a rebel, drink your water room temperature, but in addition to that, your urine should be room tone. It should be fresh within a date. Um, not only should you drink it, put it up your nose, don't breathe it in, but put it up your nose, uh, in your ears.[00:21:26] Uh, clean your eyes out with it. Conjunctivitis gets rid of all of that. Um, it's a retainer for water. So it's going to make your skin fill up with water. You're going to, you know, because remember when we get old, we get wrinkly. So we're going to hold the water in place with that. This is the same thing that, um, Botox is doing is, is, is holding that, that, that stuff in place that the collagen, you know, cause once we get older, those things, uh, get wear and tear, but we're just going through deep dehydration really.[00:21:51] And that's why they're going to say for real, honestly, black don't crack. You got good skin brother. I don't, I doubt you're doing a urine thing. You've got good skin. [00:22:00] You've got good genes, but not everybody has good genes. Like. Um, you know, you have a youth for parents. I have a youth where parents, you're probably going to keep it all your life.[00:22:09] Your mom and dad probably looked like that. I wouldn't be surprised. However, just for a little added benefit, I'd say urine is good. Not needed, not necessary. Hey, you're not getting stung by jellyfish every day, but Hey, it does have medicinal, uh, effects. [00:22:25] De'Vannon: Um, do you think that, you know, keeping in the vein of the water, so you know how like you're in can be like darker and you can carry an odor for persons not properly hydrated, or maybe if their kidneys aren't filtering.[00:22:37] And I just want to say, if you do have like a, a problem with odor in your year, and then you can use like, um, or at least it works for me, uh, carbonated water to drink that. And it will banish that odor and take care of whatever it is that's causing it. So is it better for someone to drink their urine when it's clear when they're better, better hydrated, as opposed to when it's dark yellow and they're not as hydrated, it doesn't mean.[00:22:58] Crumb: No. No, I'm so glad you [00:23:00] said that. I really appreciate you for saying that signs and symbols are for the conscious mind. I don't want the family when I start talking like that to think about masonry or witchcraft, you know, it's just even when or, you know, anything, uh, the secret, uh, Donald Trump collusion thing, just really simple things.[00:23:18] Um, if, you know, number one, our urines is not supposed to be dark. I kind of make jokes about these things. I say dark skin to everything, you know, or light skin. I say light skin to everything. Uh, if my water has something in it is like that. It's one of the dark skin. I just make those types of jokes. But anyway, no, you're, you're, you're in should not be dark skin.[00:23:36] Your urine should be light-skinned. Your urine should be clear. Um, if you're drinking heavy on a sodas, if your diet is not where it should be, you're going to get telltale signs. And if your urine doesn't smell right, uh, let that be a. Um, uh, a trigger, a flag to just, um, um, clean yourself out. [00:24:00] Once you clean yourself out, you get the body to optimal place where it should be.[00:24:04] Then at that point. Yeah. You can go and do things, but, you know, um, I'll tell you this, just to be mature about this. Um, for, for, for, even as a man who I say, Hey, only drink a woman's urine. If she has had sex within the last hour, I would not say drink her urine, even though the urine is not coming from.[00:24:25] Place it's coming from somewhere else, but just to be responsible about it, you know, um, don't don't, even for me, if I have, have had sex within an hour for myself, I'm not drinking my own urine. This is not about anybody else. This is just being responsible. If my year is dark, if it has an odor, if I know I've been cheating, I came from the club last night, I was drinking hint dog.[00:24:48] Uh, I might not do it then, but if I'm, you know, because, Hey, I'm not saying be a vegan Nazi. At one point in time, I was a vegan Nazi bear with me, you know, we can get carried away sometimes. [00:25:00] So, um, I don't want to encourage anybody to jump off the cliff. My mother, my father was a diabetic. That's a part of my life.[00:25:06] My mother was a cereal, um, diet. She tried any and every, every diet that came out in the nineties, my mom did it one month. I'm like, mom, she's like, I'm going to do nothing but eat grapefruit for 30 days. I don't know. I don't know, mom, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a teenager at the time. I, I'm not smart, but I'm not like, I don't know if that's going to be good.[00:25:29] You might ask, like, I don't know. I don't think it's a good idea. Right? You're going to fall off. Great. But nonetheless, um, so, you know, even for me growing up, I understand, you know, both sides of it. I don't want to be an extremist. I don't want to, you know, just be blind to my health. And I know there's a balance within it.[00:25:52] You know, I'm not saying go off the edge, but drink some water, clean yourself out fast. Don't be a vegan, [00:26:00] do be a vegan, you know, to be, not to be is the question, but fast, do a little exercise, putting yourself out once you do those things, then at that point, absolutely. You know, partake. [00:26:14] De'Vannon: And then I wanted to, um, to say what's that when he was saw him about.[00:26:21] Um, if, if a woman's had sex to wait like an hour, because he comes from a different hole, some of those who have not had anatomy training like I have, or who may not be as well versed with the vagina as you are, uh, you know, from all your dealings with it as a man who seems to primarily identify if that resectable.[00:26:43] So there's actually, I did, I had to learn about this from school because I've had very few women, I liked it and that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. But when you are dealing with a vagina and I didn't know this till I was in massage therapy school, so what he's saying out there, um, [00:27:00] cause there might be some man Evans, women who may not fully understand their anatomy too.[00:27:05] So, so there's, so this Bayer is saying, you know, come on. So there's like a tiny little hole and I think it's somewhere around. Like under the clutter is where actually the pee comes from. Come on. Yes, sir. And then the big one is what we know and think about when we say vagina, that's where the big, those are the Philadelphia or the tongue or the fingers or whatever.[00:27:25] Fuck cucumber, you put up there.[00:27:34] And so, um, so that's what he was saying, where he was saying to people from a different place, because like vaginal secretions and fluids and things like that, the babies and all of that comes out of the big VAT. And no-code nail when there's this tiny little hole it's like on top of that, that's like, just repeat on.[00:27:51] We [00:27:52] Crumb: just, you know, and if, if I could come out of closet in a sense, no pun intended. I didn't know that for a very [00:28:00] long. You know, just being honest about it, you know? So, um, I don't want to come off like V heterosexual expert, um, to where, oh, he knows women. Well, I'm still learning as well. Um, and, um, I was even surprised, you know what, you know, my, oh, wow.[00:28:18] I didn't know that. Um, you know, and I guess for me it would be a little bit more embarrassing, but nonetheless, absolutely. We learned together. I just want to put that out there. [00:28:28] De'Vannon: We sure do. Now let me pivot to, yeah. So the sum that up once your body's healthy urine is clear, you're taking care of yourself and diet on point.[00:28:37] Then you can drink your feet other than that. Don't and if you've had sex, wait an hour. Yeah. So, um, so I'm going to ask both of these in the same question. You talked about Jesus being fake and as God, really the double. And, uh, you said you were [00:29:00] a good Christian before. Uh, I'm curious as to where you coming from with this and break this down for us.[00:29:10] Crumb: Well, you know, and here let me, and I, I'm not saying this because I'm here with you. This is how I really talk on my platform when, when, when I've got some information that I'm holding and I come out of the closet every single time. So let me come out of the closet again. Um, in a way I still resonate as a real grill as a good Christian, you know, um, I still have a interest in reading the Bible.[00:29:35] I still enjoy learning about the biblical stories. I still see the value within the message. Guilty and guilty, you know? Um, so I don't want to be this atheist guy who you y'all know. Jesus. No, no, no, no. You know, uh, thou shall not steal asshole. Don't play with me.[00:30:00] [00:30:00] De'Vannon: Amen. On Monday morning.[00:30:05] Crumb: Um, yeah. Um, so yeah, I, uh, I'm sorry, ask me that question one more time and I'll answer it head on. [00:30:14] De'Vannon: Yeah. So some thoughts about, you know, you know, Jesus being faking of God, the devil. [00:30:23] Crumb: So now number one, the story of the Bible was. Fake, we have to understand with all due respect you and I, uh, we speak English and for me, I'm just going to assume that we're both not from England.[00:30:38] That's not a part of our culture. We have a hard time connecting with it. We, we, we, we were forced to read Romeo and Juliet. Um, you know, we couldn't, I can, uh, Juliet, Juliet, uh, come Heather mother and mother buy-in by icon. And this is you, you know, just watching, listening to the [00:31:00] whole thing, you know, in the best school we do voice, you know, what are they talking about?[00:31:05] Um, so, you know, I struggle with English and some aspects, whether it be. Uh, modern English. Um, by the time, uh, black children get to fifth grade, their European counterparts know approximately 10,000 more words than we do. So a lot of times we don't understand the message or what's really being conveyed.[00:31:26] So now when we go and look at, uh, uh, the, the Bible is fake, well, what do you mean fake? And this is what I even tasked Europeans with, depending on where they're at. Even college graduates are across gender lines. I'm sorry, racial lines. Um, uh, I'll ask them to define that word. Cause a lot of times you're going to find there's a, there's a, a, a disconnect with the language.[00:31:52] That's why we don't even, um, I'm digressing. That's why we don't even do good with math because even in math, there's word problems. [00:32:00] So now when we say, oh, the Bible is fake, define fake, the Bible is not just all out fake. I'm not defending the Bible. I'm going home. I did that. You know, that, that that's not even God, that's the devil, but I'm not defending the Bible.[00:32:15] I'm just saying that the Bible is allegorical. It's metaphorical. It's, it's poetic. You know, we say certain things, there are in your windows. You can say something without saying it. You know how to talk that talk. I know how to talk that talk. [00:32:36] De'Vannon: No, you, for example, like, um, give us an example of like the allegory or like, uh, saying something without saying it, if that, that, that would come to mind right now.[00:32:48] Oh, [00:32:48] Crumb: absolutely. You know, and this is what I got exactly from school. I'm going back to when I was in, I think sixth grade, the teacher said to us, my love is like a red, red rose, or my love is a red, red rose. [00:33:00] Well, number one, my love is like a red, red rose is a metaphor. Your love and the number one you cannot scientifically define love.[00:33:09] Go look it up. Define love. No I can't. No, there's no scientific definition for love. That's number one. So now we have to express it in a different way. So now in metaphor, well, what is love? Well, my love is like a red, red rose. That's a metaphor. Well, here's assembling. My love is a red, red rose. And which you use something to describe something else that you cannot describe.[00:33:29] You know, some at some points in time, no matter how sophisticated any of us may be, we are at a loss. For words, you did there's emotions that both of us have felt that you cannot describe it's it's indescribable. There are no words to describe that feeling, that emotion, that mindset, that mind state, because our, you know, we, we, the language doesn't, you know, it's just not that sophisticated within nature of itself.[00:33:55] So now we have to understand certain things aren't going to be given to you [00:34:00] directly. You can't define love is scientifically love. Doesn't need to be. Well, we did the, the, the, the test and yeah, she's in love. You can't do. [00:34:12] De'Vannon: So. Are you saying that that same rule kind of applies to the, to the realness of the things that are contained in the Bible?[00:34:19] Crumb: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. The Bible is significant. Just like the story of the three little pigs is significant. The throat, the story of the three little pigs in a certain way, as facts, you, you have ass, so shit built this bullshit [00:34:38] De'Vannon: strong [00:34:38] Crumb: house you playing around. Uh, so now, you know, you and me, we go hard.[00:34:46] You know, we, we are, some people are talkers, some people are doers, some people are, are, are the grasshoppers. Some people are aunts, brother. You're not really an aunt, you know, but you know, you [00:35:00] encompassed or you embody that idea of that energy that you. He got that. And, and, you know, we do that through, um, our cartoons and even the hieroglyphs where, you know, there's a, a Hawk head on this guy.[00:35:13] And, but it's, it's not that he's a Hawk. It's just, he has a vision, like a hardcore, just some aspect of the animal to represent what you're really saying. So when I go to the Bible, I'm not trying to tell you these stories to say, believe in Jesus. No, I don't. I don't believe in Jesus with all due respect, but the ideas encompassed, those ideas are legitimate.[00:35:34] And if this is a medium to teach you that, then so be it. That's all I'm saying. It has relevance in a certain way, um, songs. Um, how do we learn best 90, 90 beats per minute is, um, is, uh, is rhythmic. It's melodic is hypnotic most. [00:36:00] I, my, my baby can't can't remember this, but he knows all the, all the songs, all the words of the rap song.[00:36:05] Why is that? Because you delivered it in a way when you first started teaching that baby, how did you teach them through song tween, go tween, go Ludo star a, B, C, D E F G. If it's not broke, don't fix it, but that's something we've gotten away from. So now when we go through learning through a different medium, if it's going to take Jesus to let your ass stop stealing, then Hey, whatever it is to be like the Tiki teaching mechanism is here.[00:36:35] No there, as long as you get the message. So I'm not saying the Bible is real, or these stories really happen to do walked on water. No, he did not walk on water. I do not believe that, you know, literally, but allegorically poetically three little pigs. His ass did not build a fucking brick house in for real.[00:36:58] But, you know what I [00:37:00] mean? You know, that's my brother. So when I walk up to you without brother, so then somebody outside. Oh, that's really your brother. No, no. What I mean, my brother, man, [00:37:10] De'Vannon: that's my brother. And so there's this, this is the coolest thing that, uh, that, uh, that I wanted to point out. And one of the main reasons I wanted to have you on the show, because I knew that we didn't necessarily agree on everything.[00:37:25] And, and I, and I wanted that intentionally because I like to surround myself with people who not, who don't see all the point of views the same. It's like, it's like when my democratic people on MSBC have a crazy ass Republican on the show you have, I'm not calling you a crazy answer, Republican, but I'm saying I wouldn't dare insult.[00:37:47] You. That's like the lowest of the low right now, but, but it creates a good texture, represented different perspectives. And that, to me, I'm not saying that I have it all figured out. [00:38:00] So, so let's get civil to let's talk to everybody. People who don't believe in Jesus. I do people I've talked to somebody who stuck Satan's Dick for all.[00:38:08] I care as long as the, of the, um, conversation was thought provoking and help to my audience, because my show, you know, the shows where people who already believe in God, but for a lot of people were considering all kinds of ways and I'm not naive. Everybody's not going to be a Christian, you know, and not everybody's going to be this religion or that religion, but it isn't important for us to search and research and think, and, you know, conversations like this started the way I looked at the Bible.[00:38:36] So what you're saying is some of it might be real. Some of them might not be all in all gleaned the good stories for it and go live your life. And don't be an asshole or a Dick to somebody out there. And you know, if, from my perspective, through the personal experiences I've had with. You know, and with the holy ghost in particular, God has revealed himself to me through dreams that come true in different experiences [00:39:00] that I have had where he has put his hands on me.[00:39:02] And I would not expect somebody to believe in God, unless he has proven himself to them in some sort of way that they know that they can latch. Hold of. And if that's meant to happen for somebody in some sort of way, when they're reading through the Bible are exposed to Jesus in some way, then that's what's for them.[00:39:20] If it doesn't happen, or if it hasn't happened yet, well then maybe it's not for them or maybe it's far off, but it's not, but I'm not about to just have people around me who, who only talk about, you know, who only believe in Jesus and stuff like that. It's important to have everybody. And I don't look at you as somebody who I need to convert or change.[00:39:39] I don't, you know, then I've had people in the past who thought that I wasn't a believer and I totally was who only wanted to become close to me to try to get me to go to church them and stuff like that. And I thought that was just some fuck shit. And so and so no. And so, so we both agree. People should read different texts.[00:39:57] All of them have I had a child, I would just [00:40:00] put all the Bibles in front of them that the, the, the, the Koran, the Torah, the, you know, And then we would have a conversation and he's gonna have to pick what appeals to him. Now, I would say recommend the Lord, but God don't have to go with it. Like he did through people in the Bible.[00:40:13] And he met when God had already, he reached out to people and said, okay, I'm real. And here's why you should personally believe in me. And so if they come speak great, if it doesn't great, but just don't steal from me in the meantime.[00:40:30] Crumb: Well, you know, and I say, I agree 1000000% and I appreciate your perspective. Uh, I'm not sure if you interpret us as disagreeing, but I, at this 100000.0% agree. And you know, I try my best to find where, you know, this, the bonds that hold us together are stronger than the forces that divide us. We can easily find something to disagree on.[00:40:48] I don't mind. But anyway, um, what I was going to say is what does a w what makes a cult, a cult? A cult is a cult when you're not allowed to talk to anybody [00:41:00] with conflicting views, Uh, uh, everybody except for you and people who think like you and believe what you believe are going to hell and they're all bad people it's really that black and white.[00:41:11] Um, you know, we are only going to put ourselves in this small little bubble of reality and any other ideas are the devil. Um, so when you say, Hey, I have my, uh, thoughts, opinions, beliefs, perspectives, perspectives, portion of understanding, wisdom through experience, so on and so forth and sharing that with the child.[00:41:32] That's your risk or person that's your responsibility. Absolutely. And I agree 1000000% with that. And that is when it doesn't become a cult, you know, but I was raised in a cult. Nope. Neal Christianity. You know, if you brought the Koran in my mama house, you can't bring no goddamn Koran in this bitch.[00:41:59] [00:42:00] Fuck. Suicide bombers. My mama don't play that shit. So now, uh, you know, but you know, it's, that's how narrow the perspective is for different religions, you know, even seven day Adventist or did your homework. If you not a Jehovah witness your hope. If you don't go to kingdom hall, I don't care if you believe in Jesus or not, you ass, your ass is gas.[00:42:22] De'Vannon: They didn't break their birthdays though. I don't, I can't fuck. What did you hope was witnesses on? Like, y'all just don't have no fun at all. So, so, so y'all w what, what Chrome is saying, it's something that I'm going to be addressing in my second book that I'm going to be working on, and it's going to be all about my memoir would be out sexual agencies is the memoir is going to be out later this year, but, um, I'm starting another book.[00:42:49] That's going to actually talk about the abandonment of Christianity, the fuck show become versus what it originally was. So. Because [00:43:00] anybody logical looking like a child, examining all the options today. If they were to look at Christianity, they would go accelerate. What exactly is it? You know, because it's not on one accord, you have 50 million translations of the Bible.[00:43:14] You have 50 million different Christian denominations. It looks like a confusing shit show and it is not a respectable, however, that's why people like me are writing things and coming out and being very vocal against the church. I won't be vocal against the Lord because I view him apart from that. But somebody new in faith does not yet know how to separate the two.[00:43:36] And so then they're just going to be like, well, fuck it all. And not worry about it. And so. That will be being addressed. And yet Christianity was called is called, like, because they had me believe in Christians were the only people it's particularly the church of God in Christ were the only people Pentecostals that were going to go to heaven.[00:43:56] Everyone else got it wrong. I'm going to go to hell. And I remember thinking like how in the fuck could [00:44:00] I be so lucky to just there and the other billions of people in the world down, no, this don't make sense. And so, and there's all kinds of reasons why that is, and people feel better about themselves and making other people feel smaller and you know, in the church does that, you know?[00:44:21] Yeah. But it's their way or the highway. They weren't interested in having open discussions, you know, don't drink alcohol. Well, why and wines all throughout the Bible. That doesn't make sense, but just don't do it because we said so, you know, so I am not actually an avid fond in a PR person. Who's like a strong advocate of going to church.[00:44:42] You know, I believe that we have our most sincere experiences with the Lord at home, by herself. [00:44:51] Crumb: Let me, let me go to church[00:44:57] De'Vannon: that if you would've pulled up, well, one of them white [00:45:00] usher glove[00:45:09] Crumb: with all due respect, this is church where two or more a guy that brother, this is church. It is. So, you know, I just want to put some respect on the name that, you know, I, you, the floor, [00:45:22] De'Vannon: when you said two or more, there's a scripture in the Bible, in the Hebrew Bible. And I do like to remind people that the king James version, all of these Bibles that people fight over in America, ain't ours.[00:45:31] It came from the middle east. And so I just want to give the proper people credit. So that's why I say the Hebrew by. Um, there's a scripture in there that says where two or more are gathered together. In my name there will I be in the midst? And that is God saying, when two people get together, I'm going to be there with gal now with you, if you by yourself too.[00:45:50] But he's saying that there's a threefold cord is not easily broken. So what he's telling us is that there's strength in numbers and that he will be there with us. [00:46:00] And so what he's saying is we have in church here on this Monday morning as we are. Conversing, and we won't be judged here. You will be welcomed who you are and all of your points of views and your tour and your Keren and your Buddhist texts too, will be there.[00:46:18] Um, I go down well before the pandemic, you know, I would go down sometimes to the Buddhist temple that we have here and, you know, meditate that great vegetarian food, and then I'm bald too, you know? And then there, so we got along great all now you mentioned music earlier and you have this thing called the curse of gospel music.[00:46:43] And so I want to keep in the same spiritual vein. I don't want you to break down with the curse of gospel music is [00:46:49] Crumb: absolutely. Um, I do want to apologize. You did ask a question and I want to attack it head on. You said, uh, why do I call God the devil and, and just really quickly, and I'll address [00:47:00] gospel music is because it really ties together.[00:47:03] Jesus told them ye are gods L on sprays that isn't, it written a year guys. And he was referring to Psalms chapter 82, verse six, where it says and your gods. Um, so, um, but on a personal level, just like you, you, we are the gods. We are the devils, just like when we see, um, the, the angel and the devil sitting on your side.[00:47:27] You know, these are just, and what do the angel, the devil look like? They look like you because he's just aspects in your mind or does God gods in my mind what that's cause it's in your mind, God had devil's in my mind. That's because the devil's in your mind, um, you know, cause you are the devil. You are God, and these are decisions you have to make, you have to live with.[00:47:43] You can be devilish, you can be holy. Uh, some people, you are their devil. You are there Bain. Some people, you are the God, you're just a beautiful person in them. And these are just aspects of self. I do believe in God. I do believe in the devil. Uh, but they are one in the same. And it is all aspects within us now going on to the gospel or the curse of, [00:48:00] of, of the gospel music.[00:48:02] I was basically speaking from a black perspective. Um, a lot of my platform is, uh, all things black, uh, for us and, um, gospel music came the only general of music to ever be associated with a people is his old Negro spirituals. There's never been another John rev music to be associated like, you know, um, Asian music.[00:48:24] There's no. That's being racist. It's not called Asian music. Oh, that's Mexican music. No, no Latino music. No. You know, and it might be Moraine gay, but you know, but anyway, so now Negro spirituals was the only genera of music named after a people from Negro spirituals. We're going to get gospel music.[00:48:42] Gospel has, is a girl. She's a beautiful woman. Now she has a twin sister. Gospel's a good girl. She goes to church every Sunday. She reads a Bible, go to church every Wednesday, whatever the case may be. She [00:48:55] De'Vannon: hasn't already that she may eat or [00:48:57] Crumb: eat. This is just an example of me being poetic. Uh, [00:49:00] similarly, uh, an example.[00:49:02] So now, uh, she has a sister. Gospel has a sister. Her name is jazz. Some people call her blues. Uh, some people call her R and B rhythm and blues. But, um, just like you meet with, with, uh, with gospel every Sunday morning, this is after slavery every Sunday morning and actually during slavery as well. So you meet with, uh, w w with Negro spirituals every Sunday morning.[00:49:27] And it continues on with gospel her daughter every Sunday morning, her, uh, her, uh, her other daughter, her twin daughter, that, that the dark one, you meet with her every Saturday night at what we call the juke joint. This is the history of gospel. A lot of those gospel singers. They didn't make a lot of money, but they could sing Nate assau.[00:49:48] So now those gospel singers turn around and go to the juke joint Saturday night and make a couple coins. You know, this is all just a feed. The family nobody's getting rich, cause a juke joint is a hole in the wall. [00:50:00] Uh, it's a speak easy it's, you know, something, you know, it's not on the map. You gotta know somebody to find out how to get there and knock on a door, a certain type of way in case the cops come, you, everybody run, you know, that type of situation.[00:50:13] So now, um, with that said the Jews, cause we're dealing with religion, the Jews come in and they go to these, these, uh, juke joints and they start, um, hiring these artists onto their labels. The most famous movie about this happening is Cadillac records, uh, with, uh, Beyonce was in there. That one Jewish boy was in there.[00:50:40] Uh, I really liked him too. That, that, that, that one Jewish boy. He's a good actor. Anyway. So now, um, uh, You know, a lot of these juke joints came from down south because slavery was down south. The plantation was down south. So now once you see the first big crossover, the first big crossover is [00:51:00] Sam cook.[00:51:01] Sam cook, uh, was a big gospel artists. And this is basically why is there a curse? Because everybody who went from gospel to secular following behind the Jew die tragically, Sam cook died tragically. After Sam cook died, tragically Bobby Womack, uh, uh, took Sam Cooke's wife to his funeral, married her three months later has sex with Sam Cook's daughter, uh, at the age of 15, just six months after.[00:51:30] So now, um, this is, this is not just the case. You say, oh, well, Sam cook, oh, my Bobby Womack is such an asshole, but you know, this isn't this and this and that, yada, yada, yada. But this is the thing. There might be a such thing as karma, because it is said that, uh, you know, what comes around, goes around Sam cook, doesn't get, uh, Aretha Franklin pregnant at 12.[00:51:51] A lot of people will tell you a Rita Franklin child that she had at 12 years old, Sam, that Sam Cooke, baby, other people like Ray [00:52:00] Charles will tell you that, uh, that 12 year old daughter, that girl who got pregnant, Ray Charles said her daddy got her pregnant. And her daddy was a preacher of a church.[00:52:08] Every, every one of these people who crossed over from, from, from secular music, I'm sorry from gospel over the cycler has been a curse. Go look at Whitney Houston. Remember the preacher's wife go, you better stop playing with me.[00:52:23] There's a curse on gospel music. [00:52:27] De'Vannon: I believe in you and me have a lead. We whom be love internally and I'm happy to go listen to the whole soundtrack. [00:52:38] Crumb: Hold on. Only one. I could have a reach me was the sign of a preacher, man. Y'all better stop. You better stop playing with the Lord. [00:52:48] De'Vannon: Now you think maybe that song was about her experience possible?[00:52:54] Crumb: Well, you know, Sam, she was a PK and you know what the PK is, right? [00:52:58] De'Vannon: Peak head. [00:53:00] I know what a cluck had is a chicken head, [00:53:03] Crumb: a preacher's kid. Those are the worst ones. TK. Okay. Yeah, she was a preacher's kid. Uh, uh, Sam cooks was a preacher's kid. These preacher's children. They be off the chain brother. We got to talk about it.[00:53:15] We'd have to talk about it. [00:53:19] De'Vannon: And, uh, okay. Thank you for explaining that. Uh, before we move on into the lesbians, um, I want to clarify, so like, when I felt like when you were talking about like, like God and the devil earlier, what I was hearing is how, like a lot of people, uh, you were saying, you don't miss the scarily, you believe on the devil or one, and then we have both of those inside of us.[00:53:40] So what that brought to mind for me is like how a lot of new age thinking believes we contain this entity with, within us. You know, a lot of people will say that, what you're saying is, don't forget, you have like a dark side too, you know? And so we both have both light and dark. It sounds like you're saying some [00:54:00] people call it God, some people call it, call it the devil, but really we all have it both inside of us.[00:54:07] Crumb: And remember, remember the plot twist from star wars. Which one, Luke, I am your father.[00:54:26] bad guy. Everybody hates you. Can I be, how can you be a part of me? I'm a party. That's the most famous,[00:54:39] De'Vannon: it's pretty twisty. It is pretty twisty.[00:54:45] Let, let me switch, switch gears again. And now we're gonna, we're gonna finally talk about the, uh, the, the good old lesbians here. And so, so give us like your, [00:55:00] your, your run down here. And, uh, basically this is talking about a different perspective on exactly. You know where lesbians come from, some different myths surrounding that.[00:55:14] And, but please start with a breakdown of what etymology is.[00:55:23] Crumb: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you. [00:55:28] De'Vannon: You're welcome. You're welcome. You're welcome. You're welcome [00:55:32] Crumb: to get the right answer. You have to ask the right question. A lot of times I try to create context. I try to set the family up so that it doesn't get taken the wrong way. I appreciate your brother. I respect you.[00:55:47] Um, it's an honor to work with you. I don't have a, uh, issue with, uh, the way you choose to live your life. I love your energy. Um, I hope that we can work together again in the [00:56:00] future, and that I've impressed you a little bit today. Honestly, that's what I see. So now that I've put, you know, I've been vulnerable I've, I've made myself vulnerable and exposed you.[00:56:09] How I truly feel, um, you know, the naked truth, uh, no pun intended. Um, oh my God. Chrome is naked in front of another man. Yeah. Technically so bare with me. I haven't [00:56:18] De'Vannon: done at least from my perspective, my end. Right. [00:56:23] Crumb: Nothing new to you. All right. I'm preaching to the choir. No pun intended. So now, you know, with that said, um, I, uh, I, I am big on etymology.[00:56:33] Etymology is the origin of words. Um, this isn't a slight to anybody. It's just fun learning the origins. So, um, I had a chance to, um, because with so many words, I don't know where to start. So, um, certain words are popular. People will tell you, um, don't say good morning, because morning is something you do at a funeral or, or it's not really good to say.[00:56:57] Someone is nice because [00:57:00] nice technically means stupid. Um, Actually I have to admit brother, you're pretty sharp. You have good grammar when I called you. Cause before we got on a zoom, we called each other. I said, brother, how are you? You said I'm well, I know to the average person, that doesn't mean anything, but that's good grammar brother with actual, you know, actually that's the King's English.[00:57:23] You speak the King's English. You're not a commoner. You speak like royalty. And I liked that. I'm a nerd. Bear with me. I, those types of things like, oh, wow, okay. You know, I'm talking to royalty. Cause he carries himself. He talks like that. I digress. So now, um, when we're dealing with etymology, I don't even know where to start.[00:57:41] So somebody had, uh, you know, giving me a word to look up and it was lesbian. And when I looked the word up, it sent me down a rabbit hole and it just blew my mind. And it was so fun learning about it that, uh, I just wanted to share with the family. So I did a video [00:58:00] and I disguise. As about lesbians, but smart people will recognize the video was about etymology.[00:58:08] It was about history. It just had a lesbian twist on it. Um, you know, some of us like our liquor straight weed, you got to put a little ice in there, a little, put a little splash of ginger rail up there. You know, I don't want to be such a Savage. Uh, so, you know, um, but because, because, um, and, and, and forgive me for making a short story long when I was in schools, learning was boring, bro.[00:58:31] I was bored. And one thing you said about me in the beginning, you said the brother has character. He has. He's going to make learning interesting. He's going to make learning. Cool. And that's all I seek to do. It's not about, uh, jumping on lesbians. It honestly has nothing to do with that, but let's make it about that.[00:58:48] So if we look at the etymology and that's really the point, but if we look at the etymology of the word lesbian, originally, the word lesbian was referring to women on a, on an island in [00:59:00] ancient Greece called Lesbos. Now, when we dealing with homosexuality and ancient Greece, patriarchaly that's I just made that up.[00:59:10] I'm sure. Patriarchy quickly. We only just talk about the. Oh, well, this is what the men were doing. This is what the men were doing and the women's still get out shadowed. You know, I know it's not a competition, but the men, uh, within the, uh, uh, the alphabet mafia are out shining the women. So I decided with just being quirky as I am in my own special way, just to give the women some, some attention.[00:59:34] So if we go to look historically at the island of Lesbos, which was a, uh, Grecian island, there was a Greek island, um, where there was a lot of women there. I thought based on common culture, based on common culture, gay means homosexual, no disrespect. Gaming's happy based off common culture. The rainbow represents, uh, a symbol of gay [01:00:00] pride.[01:00:01] It does, however, comma, the rainbow is really just the rainbow. It is what it is because of culture. It means something else. Um, Uh, bill Cosby, just joking around bill Cosby represents slipping somebody and Mickey that's just because of common culture for people like you and me. Bill Cosby was the number one.[01:00:22] Dad. When we grew up in our generation, bill Cosby was famous for being a dad in this generation. Bill Cosby is famous for slipping women to Mickey, or maybe he's exonerated. I'm not really sure of the situation. Bear with me. I apologize if I've misspoken. I digress. When we look at the island of Lesbos, um, it doesn't fit popular current culture to fit what we think of a Lesbos as a, which I personally believe lesbian.[01:00:48] Wasn't a derogatory term. If you call a woman a lesbian, that's a little more respect on her name. If you call her a lesbian, that's more lower vibrational, I guess it depends on the person of how they taken it. That's how I was [01:01:00] told. Oh, she's a lesbian that's negative. Anyway. So now the island of Lesbos was not derogatory.[01:01:05] It had nothing to do with lesbians. If you look at the original definition, Definitions change origins. Don't if you look at the original definition of the word Lesbos, it was what we call today. A thought she knew how to please a man. And for me it was like, cause it was just weird, you know, just certain words.[01:01:27] I'm like, oh, I didn't know. It really meant that. And it was just one of those moments. So, um, you know, just passing the mic just to kind of share that. What were your thoughts based off that? I'm sorry. I know you're interviewing me, please. Forgive me. [01:01:39] De'Vannon: We have free reign here to do whatever we damn well, please.[01:01:46] Well, I love, I love, um, and I know etymology, um, as you, as you, as you're saying, as you said, was the, uh, primary theme of the video, [01:02:00] uh, lesbian as a. As a smart, attractive topic to, you know, it has to be interesting. So you've made it interesting. And then the study of in the way you went through it teaches people perhaps how to do that sort of research themselves.[01:02:14] So that's why I want to make a big deal out of, uh, the lesbian aspect of it. But then, you know, a lot of listeners identify that way and you may, may wish to know more about, you know, their backgrounds and everything like that. So let's see. I was curious about the magalogue you talked a lot about the magalogue in the video, and then after that, we're going to talk about the whole like pedophile pet RST thing going on, uh, excuse me to in ancient Greece, but let's, let's talk about the magalogs first.[01:02:57] Um, The different meanings [01:03:00] there and those sex crazy men. [01:03:02] Crumb: I'm so glad you S you know, I wasn't sure where you're going to go next. You've got free Wayne rain. I'm just following. And in my mind, I was going to what we call cut your wisdom. We inter interrupt and, oh, I don't want to cut your wisdom, but let me talk about, I really meant to mention, and I was going to bring up Magaluf next.[01:03:20] So when you said it, I'm like, you know, that was one of the big things in the video. So, um, when we talk about, and this is what I really stress to our people for me, my success on the internet has really been best described as revenge of the nerds. I was, I was very much, I did not fit in when I was younger.[01:03:43] Um, I still don't fit in the most thing. Funniest thing somebody had ever said it was my friend's mom. And, uh, my name is William. She was like, William you're very, and it was an awkward pause. Your. She's trying to figure out what to say to me. And I'm just smiling. I was a kid like, [01:04:00] eh, and she says, peculiar, fuck it.[01:04:04] I'll take it a weird off kilter, slightly retarded. Hey, peculiar works. I'll take that one. So you could have said a slew of any words and they would have probably all stuck, but nonetheless, yeah. Um, you know, my perspective, my way of thinking, my, my understanding and just, uh, me being that person just, you know, I'm not that person.[01:04:27] So now this is really revenge of the nerds I'm oh, wow. I'm cool. Now, you know, we're, we're reading. So I've really been pushing our people, black people in particular, uh, you know, to be a little more astute, to be able a little more couth, to be a little more refined. And, um, I don't want to take it in the wrong way because of.[01:04:48] Perpetuate homosexuality. But I do understand like even metro-sexual is a more refined gentlemen. Uh, you don't have to, people would say to [01:05:00] me, oh, you're very Metro. And I'm like, I don't know how to take that. Like, no, it's not a bad thing. It's, it's like, you know, I don't want you to think this new energy where these men are coming off.[01:05:09] It has to be, you know, but that is a sexual, uh, a homosexual men have tastes. I'm not promoting homosexuality, but we just have
