Speaker 1 (06:29):
They got it. I don't know if I'm gonna get
it like them. Did you see the lawsuit with the
door dash seventeen million dollars in New York they had
the suit door dash. Now you should have been all
over this, Marcella's because I yeah, in New York. Then
people done stole them people's temps. So the New York
(06:50):
Attorney General, Well, that showed me you ain't been watching Revolt,
because I covered it on Revolt. So that just so
you just told them yourself, because I've.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Seen you see, because I like every time you like
that one, and that's the one of them.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
How you missed it because we wasn't watching Revolt. That's like, yeah,
seventeen million dollars lawsuit. Lawsuit, guys, if you are door da,
I believe it was between twenty nineteen twenty twenty two.
They said they had a system glitch. Yeah, okay, yeah, okay,
door dash, whatever you want to say. But if you work,
you delivered anything during that time, go get your money,
(07:27):
and the consumers need to file a lawsuit. You know.
But y'all stole my money that I meant to give
to myself. Yeah, I tip money back. Really got your business,
y'alls on being crumbed type of time, y'all go get yep.
But if I meant for you to get my tip
and y'all stolen, I'm gonna need mine back.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, I need mine back, yep. FU circle. That's right.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
So y'all make sure y'all the administrator they said they're
gonna have a website up within the coming weeks. If
you're in New York, make sure you follow that. I
get the Letitia James said she's gonna get somebody. She
couldn't get Trump all the way away she wanted to
because she decided to go out the door dash. But yeah,
it's it's real in the feel. It's real in the feel,
(08:14):
and I you know, but it's a month to month base.
I just like giving people a real deal. You know,
the conversation we had with the episode with the brother
dropped on this past Tuesday. I need them to be
honest with people on the realities of self employment. This
is hard. It's hard. It's a constant anxiety, a constant worry,
(08:37):
a constant I will tell I've worked many jobs while
doing this and still I still. I'm even nervous now
because I like to keep my sub stuff. But I
traveled so much back and forth. I had to do
ten days each semester and I only did like seven
last time. I be, hey, keep me on the payroll
because I don't ever but you know, like what's gonna be.
(09:00):
But so, man, we gotta stop all of this. We
gotta tell people the truth. And a lot of these
people want to make it sit on this high horse
so bad and make it seem like, you know, they
just doing hell of well and all that, and I
know they're not Marcella's and so we got to tell
people to real deal truth. There's some people that do
quite well, you know, but this conscious stuff, it ain't.
(09:21):
It don't pay that. It just doesn't. Now, if you
want to be Drew Ski comedy and skits and laughing
and playing and all of that. But even then, you know,
it's it's not a lot, you know, only if certain
percentage go to the NBA. Guys, I tell everybody they're
gonna go to the NBA. They're gonna go to the NBA.
Everybody's not gonna be a business owner. Everybody that is
not what they do. Somebody got to work the job.
Somebody got to support system, be a great support sis,
(09:43):
because I can't do what I do without you, meaning
I can't expand I can't scale up. I've been able
to scale of having you and Jade, Yeah, you know,
scale for those who don't know what that mean, not
to you know, talk down, just be clear. Grow the business,
you know, I know, Okay, I can add on a
little extra something because at least they gonna help me
(10:04):
with straight shot, or at least they can help me
with this. So help me with that, you know, help
I can't catch all these stories, Okay, Well my team
can help me cant the store. That's called scaling up.
And and even now I'm at the max, you know,
on on on that stretching thing, on that guys, we
gotta start telling people the truth. I do want you
to do for self and have your job. But I'll
(10:25):
I mean have your own business. But I also ain't
no shame in having that part time hook up. I
know people, so many men Marcella's right now just refuse.
They think by getting a part time jobs it's a
dis to them or they failed at their business. No,
this is called staying in business.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I sow cell phones at T Mobile. When I first
started my business two thousand and eight, so I had
a six figure job. But when I started my business,
I went to sell cell phones. I had a my
office on Orange Avenue one twenty one Orange Avenue in Orlando, Florida.
It was called your office. You can rent by the hour,
like ten hours a week a little package. I did
(11:07):
that to pay for my little office space so that
people can come in and interview and you know, I
have a nice pace and all that. Those are the
kind of things I didn't want able to have my
own office for a minute. You know, this is our Marcella's.
This is not easy, I know, and I'm not saying
this jokingly. I'm pretty sure I've had a probably a
little mini stroke at least once or twice in my sleep,
(11:30):
you know, people got to know to real deal with this. Yeah,
what comes with this? You know? So I just want
our people to be informed, not scared, but getting a
strategy together.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Now, whose house were gonna go cause we showed up?
Can't go to Marcella because he said that came a back.
So who willing to take somebody in if the shit
go down?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You know?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Who willing to share if something go down? Who who's buying? Okay,
if you're gonna be buying water, I'm gonna get water
in boat, okay myself. Get you get canned fruit in boat?
You get this part? Get that you You know what
I'm saying that. That's what's on my heart to tell people,
you know what to do?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yeah, and I know we I know, we joking stuff.
But even even doing uber East, that's that's just in
itself important. And even that's getting hard for me. Dude,
I'm getting sleepy at the wheel. So now I got
my Now, I got my brother. He's over here, and
I have him. I drive for a few hours, then
he'll drive for a few hours for me.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Do it. Hey, we gotta make it work. You with
me right now? We gotta make it work.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
And I have to I'll try building both y'all figuring
it out. Yeah, you know, And I noticed that a lot.
I'm glad you brought it up. And that's why we
got to have these transparent conversations. Let people know the
real deal. Everybody want to seem like they know. I was.
I was ubering in twenty eighteen on Fox News. It's
a real deal, yeah, real hustle, you know. And I
noticed that a lot. And I've been in Atlanta, like
(13:06):
other people picking me up. They ain't supposed to be
picking me up where they used to be a red flag.
But now I know it's similarly your situation. Somebody using
somebody's card, somebody maybe they brothers, can't his driver's license
suspend it. Maybe maybe he don't have his insurance, so
he got to go through this do that. I know,
people are you know sharing this? Now this swords we're
(13:27):
gonna start having these real conversations or what are you
saying that that's a great idea of somebody be like okay,
cool back, Yeah, you go drive some some few hours.
I go drive a few hours.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah, and he got to pay for his stuff, so
all right, now he using my car to go do
door dash.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
That's right, we gotta make you work.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Y'all better start figuring, and especially with door dash and
ubery's ain'tybody got to see your face? Had time just
go I told a friend of mine, I was like,
why don't you just go do door that? He just refused.
He just this stubbornness of just absolutely refuse it.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
They said it ain't worth it to put wearing tail
in the car. Uh, well, it's fifty dollars more than
what you had today. Yeah, it's one hundred dollars morning
what you had today. Main't gotta worry about spud. Spud
is paralyzed and uber like clockwork. If a man that
don't that can't use his legs figuring out how to uber,
Yeah you understand how powerful that is.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
No, dripping with sticks in La bad As traffic in
La put so much pressure on his foot that he's
had to get half his toe amputated. Yeah, let's talk
about it. Woo. That's why when people talking about what
they ain't gonna do and not gonna do, let's talk
(14:44):
about it. Had to get half his toe amputated because
he'd been in the car too much. You know, not
you have to when you paralyze, you have to do
pressure release, and so he's so used to doing pressure
release on his bottom, you know, switching and all that,
he didn't realize you also got to have it on
your feet, you know, from sitting up in that seat.
That'll oh and not having hard hard shoes on. And
(15:10):
it's hard to be to get hard shoes because it's
feet be swollen all the time.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Oh, that's hustling, must all the way.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, making a do what to do?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You don't think I'm concerned about they take away Medicaid.
They're saying they want a work requirement. Already seventy percent
of people on Medicaid already work. So now what's for
supposed to do? All the medications? Five six, seven medications season,
always in urgent care, always two three times a month,
at least being paralyzed a lot and learned a lot
(15:54):
ladder infections, uti infections of getting sick. That's a lot.
So I can't just sit back. That's why I feel
away when somebody said I'll just do all that.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
No, y'all not understand what's going on. Policy is changing,
y'all keep telling me we don't need no policy. You're
gonna see what kind positive we need because look at
the policy. They shit, what's happening. Yeah, I'm used to
not having no insurance. That if my mother was working
right now, Martinelle, it would crush her, literally crush her.
(16:26):
She went into a deep depression. She would never admit it.
She went to a deep depression when she couldn't get
when she couldn't get a job, and finally got a
job at the state, and she would telling me, just
get a job at the state, Just get a government job.
Once you get that, you you know you'll you'll be okay.
Didn't want to hire her because she was older, she
had the skills, she was a lawyer worker. It was
(16:48):
on one job twenty thirty years. She couldn't get the job.
So her plan was, Okay, I'm just gonna work till
I'm sixty seven, till i'm seventy two, and I'm my
mom didn't make it past sixty two. I am deeply
hurt when I read that letter, that article, that sixty
(17:12):
two year old woman that got told you got ninety
minutes to leave. I just can't help them think about
my mother who passed away at sixty two working for
the state. That was all she had.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Wow, the ain't no.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
And even when people say, oh, well you get a
severance for six months, okay, twenty five thousand dollars, that
ain't enough. So how can we be sitting around there
laughing at people and oh, that's all right. There they
come and get your job. Then they got to come
to the private sector. Yeah, they coming to get your job.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Right from where you think you're gonna be working. That
mean they gonna push you out in the vehicles. Literally,
crime gonna go up. What's the next thing you do?
You can't make it, can't make it. What's the next
thing you're gonna do? I am concerned more than concern.
(18:14):
I'm not an anxious person. Marcella's You've never the whole
time you've seen you, you'll never heard me, you know,
like be like this. You know, oh man, you know,
I'm like, I do know we're gonna get through it.
I do know that. But what I know is everybody
that start ain't gonna finish. Yeah, that's that's what I know.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I know.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I ain't never seen nothing like this like this is
I ain't never I ain't never seen nothing like this.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Ain't nobody ever seen nothing like this, not in my lifetime. Yeah,
I mean I get it. Be hard on Democrats need
to do more.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
But everything Trump is doing was a policy that was
in place. So Biden's doing something dim crast is doing
something because he reversing it. Yeah, so you just hyper
focus on LGBT. Okay, I get it, But was it
worth all of this? So we're gonna see in real time? Yeah,
and that scares me.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
It's like a lot of a lot of stuff shutting down,
a lot of businesses shutting down.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
This is it's getting real bad.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
How huh?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I was gonna say, like even I remember going to
the mall. Uh o the stores have closed down.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Now you know.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Someone just told me they're Hooters. They filed for bank rusting.
Like I was just saying to somebody's like everything I
remember as a as a as a child, it's being demolished,
Like everything is gone.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
How has the activity been on? Because I remember one
day when I called you like, ain't nobody order none
all day? And I'm like no, nor no, Yeah, so how.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Uh it's it's picked up a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm noticing it's it's usually picking up more so in
the evening time. No now less time and breakfast time
he used to be booming.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Not no more. It's usually the only dinner time now
mm hmmm.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I mean people stacking their money.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Right, which I'll selling my brother, which means that's less
income for me. Now, just like.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
In Atlanta, got another spot. I got to figure out
how to pay it. I guess who's eating sandwiches every
day last week? I got the apartment to be able
to so I don't have to be in a hotel.
You know, I gotta film every Friday. So I got
the apartment because being a hotel, I was having to
go out eat every day, door dash, uber eats. I said,
(20:45):
all this ain't gonna cut it.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, I got this.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
This gotta make sense, said I might as well. When
I'm spending on hotel and eating out, Just give me
a little apartment and by my sandwich meeting, by my
you know, like straight up. You know, I got apprecerate.
I can keep my sodas, I can keep my you know,
all little stuff uneed my water that's saving me money. Yeah,
(21:08):
you gotta make sense to me. I know how to
make sense.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, I get my food for the food patch. I
ain't above it.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I don't be above it, roommate, but you ain't above that. Yeah, yeah,
don't be above the sweet art. I just I just
want to see us make it. I appreciate you, know
the time you give me. I try to give you
what I.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Can and I appreciate that too.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, I'm just trying. I wish I could. I wish
I could be like some of these duper selfis who
got these million dollar deals they got so I can say,
come on ourselves, come on in them, give you sixty
thousand a year. I know I will say this as
we close, because this is important. I don't want people
to think that you know that we don't have cover.
(21:59):
We'll say this one thing that we know for sure.
We know God got us. Always said that, and we
know that, and now we have to believe it more
than that. But what we can't do is just use
it as a coping mechanism and just not do anything.
You gotta come over with creative ways, like you're saying, hey,
my brother gonna do some of the beats. I'ma do
(22:20):
some of new beats. Okay, I'm gonna do this. I'm
gonna cut cofts on this, this this. I just want
people to have a strategy as well as faith. And
I do know that those you know, God's people, you're
a good person. Marcella like he's going he's gonna look out.
I do know that. But I just want people to
(22:42):
have a plan, not not scared, but strategy. And you
you need to have a little bit of something to
shaking you up right now a little bit though, you
need to need to shake in your boots a little bit,
just so you can move with a little bit of urgency.
Because people done got too comfortable protecting their peace and
tapping out and get somebody else to do it and
(23:03):
what y'all want from a store and the comments and
all of that, and we've just been completely distracted. Yeah,
so the wake up call is coming. We gonna keep
giving as much information as we probably as we can here.
I know everybody can't handle it be too much and
too much taislm but and I get it. But at
least you know where to find it. Every week, I'm dropping.
(23:25):
If you can't handle every week, tap in every other week,
do something, share with somebody. Maybe you cannot affordune I
get this information because it's not a lot of us
out there doing what I'm doing. It's way more foolishness,
way more misinformation, way more clickbait, way more drama. So
those of us that do this, we need the extra
(23:45):
extra support to try to get out as much as
we can to try to make an impact on the
least a few, Right, so I appreciate y'all. We're gonna
start opening up the show, you know, for people to
come on in talk, come figure out strategies. I don't
know all the answers. Let's push back on each other
and try to you know, figure it out, challenge each other,
(24:08):
make sure we flush it, you know, unpack it. And
I think that show Tuesday was an awesome show that
did that and look forward to having that brother back.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
That takes too long.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
They got it. I don't know if I'm gonna get
it like them. Did you see the lawsuit with the
door dash seventeen million dollars in New York they had
the suit door dash. Now you should have been all
over this, Marcella's because I yeah, in New York. Then
people done stole them people's temps. So the New York
(06:50):
Attorney General, Well, that showed me you ain't been watching Revolt,
because I covered it on Revolt. So that just so
you just told them yourself, because I've.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Seen you see, because I like every time you like
that one, and that's the one of them.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
How you missed it because we wasn't watching Revolt. That's like, yeah,
seventeen million dollars lawsuit. Lawsuit, guys, if you are door da,
I believe it was between twenty nineteen twenty twenty two.
They said they had a system glitch. Yeah, okay, yeah, okay,
door dash, whatever you want to say. But if you work,
you delivered anything during that time, go get your money,
(07:27):
and the consumers need to file a lawsuit. You know.
But y'all stole my money that I meant to give
to myself. Yeah, I tip money back. Really got your business,
y'alls on being crumbed type of time, y'all go get yep.
But if I meant for you to get my tip
and y'all stolen, I'm gonna need mine back.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, I need mine back, yep. FU circle. That's right.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
So y'all make sure y'all the administrator they said they're
gonna have a website up within the coming weeks. If
you're in New York, make sure you follow that. I
get the Letitia James said she's gonna get somebody. She
couldn't get Trump all the way away she wanted to
because she decided to go out the door dash. But yeah,
it's it's real in the feel. It's real in the feel,
(08:14):
and I you know, but it's a month to month base.
I just like giving people a real deal. You know,
the conversation we had with the episode with the brother
dropped on this past Tuesday. I need them to be
honest with people on the realities of self employment. This
is hard. It's hard. It's a constant anxiety, a constant worry,
(08:37):
a constant I will tell I've worked many jobs while
doing this and still I still. I'm even nervous now
because I like to keep my sub stuff. But I
traveled so much back and forth. I had to do
ten days each semester and I only did like seven
last time. I be, hey, keep me on the payroll
because I don't ever but you know, like what's gonna be.
(09:00):
But so, man, we gotta stop all of this. We
gotta tell people the truth. And a lot of these
people want to make it sit on this high horse
so bad and make it seem like, you know, they
just doing hell of well and all that, and I
know they're not Marcella's and so we got to tell
people to real deal truth. There's some people that do
quite well, you know, but this conscious stuff, it ain't.
(09:21):
It don't pay that. It just doesn't. Now, if you
want to be Drew Ski comedy and skits and laughing
and playing and all of that. But even then, you know,
it's it's not a lot, you know, only if certain
percentage go to the NBA. Guys, I tell everybody they're
gonna go to the NBA. They're gonna go to the NBA.
Everybody's not gonna be a business owner. Everybody that is
not what they do. Somebody got to work the job.
Somebody got to support system, be a great support sis,
(09:43):
because I can't do what I do without you, meaning
I can't expand I can't scale up. I've been able
to scale of having you and Jade, Yeah, you know,
scale for those who don't know what that mean, not
to you know, talk down, just be clear. Grow the business,
you know, I know, Okay, I can add on a
little extra something because at least they gonna help me
(10:04):
with straight shot, or at least they can help me
with this. So help me with that, you know, help
I can't catch all these stories, Okay, Well my team
can help me cant the store. That's called scaling up.
And and even now I'm at the max, you know,
on on on that stretching thing, on that guys, we
gotta start telling people the truth. I do want you
to do for self and have your job. But I'll
(10:25):
I mean have your own business. But I also ain't
no shame in having that part time hook up. I
know people, so many men Marcella's right now just refuse.
They think by getting a part time jobs it's a
dis to them or they failed at their business. No,
this is called staying in business.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I sow cell phones at T Mobile. When I first
started my business two thousand and eight, so I had
a six figure job. But when I started my business,
I went to sell cell phones. I had a my
office on Orange Avenue one twenty one Orange Avenue in Orlando, Florida.
It was called your office. You can rent by the hour,
like ten hours a week a little package. I did
(11:07):
that to pay for my little office space so that
people can come in and interview and you know, I
have a nice pace and all that. Those are the
kind of things I didn't want able to have my
own office for a minute. You know, this is our Marcella's.
This is not easy, I know, and I'm not saying
this jokingly. I'm pretty sure I've had a probably a
little mini stroke at least once or twice in my sleep,
(11:30):
you know, people got to know to real deal with this. Yeah,
what comes with this? You know? So I just want
our people to be informed, not scared, but getting a
strategy together.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Now, whose house were gonna go cause we showed up?
Can't go to Marcella because he said that came a back.
So who willing to take somebody in if the shit
go down?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You know?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Who willing to share if something go down? Who who's buying? Okay,
if you're gonna be buying water, I'm gonna get water
in boat, okay myself. Get you get canned fruit in boat?
You get this part? Get that you You know what
I'm saying that. That's what's on my heart to tell people,
you know what to do?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yeah, and I know we I know, we joking stuff.
But even even doing uber East, that's that's just in
itself important. And even that's getting hard for me. Dude,
I'm getting sleepy at the wheel. So now I got
my Now, I got my brother. He's over here, and
I have him. I drive for a few hours, then
he'll drive for a few hours for me.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Do it. Hey, we gotta make it work. You with
me right now? We gotta make it work.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
And I have to I'll try building both y'all figuring
it out. Yeah, you know, And I noticed that a lot.
I'm glad you brought it up. And that's why we
got to have these transparent conversations. Let people know the
real deal. Everybody want to seem like they know. I was.
I was ubering in twenty eighteen on Fox News. It's
a real deal, yeah, real hustle, you know. And I
noticed that a lot. And I've been in Atlanta, like
(13:06):
other people picking me up. They ain't supposed to be
picking me up where they used to be a red flag.
But now I know it's similarly your situation. Somebody using
somebody's card, somebody maybe they brothers, can't his driver's license
suspend it. Maybe maybe he don't have his insurance, so
he got to go through this do that. I know,
people are you know sharing this? Now this swords we're
(13:27):
gonna start having these real conversations or what are you
saying that that's a great idea of somebody be like okay,
cool back, Yeah, you go drive some some few hours.
I go drive a few hours.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah, and he got to pay for his stuff, so
all right, now he using my car to go do
door dash.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
That's right, we gotta make you work.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Y'all better start figuring, and especially with door dash and
ubery's ain'tybody got to see your face? Had time just
go I told a friend of mine, I was like,
why don't you just go do door that? He just refused.
He just this stubbornness of just absolutely refuse it.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
They said it ain't worth it to put wearing tail
in the car. Uh, well, it's fifty dollars more than
what you had today. Yeah, it's one hundred dollars morning
what you had today. Main't gotta worry about spud. Spud
is paralyzed and uber like clockwork. If a man that
don't that can't use his legs figuring out how to uber,
Yeah you understand how powerful that is.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
No, dripping with sticks in La bad As traffic in
La put so much pressure on his foot that he's
had to get half his toe amputated. Yeah, let's talk
about it. Woo. That's why when people talking about what
they ain't gonna do and not gonna do, let's talk
(14:44):
about it. Had to get half his toe amputated because
he'd been in the car too much. You know, not
you have to when you paralyze, you have to do
pressure release, and so he's so used to doing pressure
release on his bottom, you know, switching and all that,
he didn't realize you also got to have it on
your feet, you know, from sitting up in that seat.
That'll oh and not having hard hard shoes on. And
(15:10):
it's hard to be to get hard shoes because it's
feet be swollen all the time.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Oh, that's hustling, must all the way.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, making a do what to do?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You don't think I'm concerned about they take away Medicaid.
They're saying they want a work requirement. Already seventy percent
of people on Medicaid already work. So now what's for
supposed to do? All the medications? Five six, seven medications season,
always in urgent care, always two three times a month,
at least being paralyzed a lot and learned a lot
(15:54):
ladder infections, uti infections of getting sick. That's a lot.
So I can't just sit back. That's why I feel
away when somebody said I'll just do all that.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
No, y'all not understand what's going on. Policy is changing,
y'all keep telling me we don't need no policy. You're
gonna see what kind positive we need because look at
the policy. They shit, what's happening. Yeah, I'm used to
not having no insurance. That if my mother was working
right now, Martinelle, it would crush her, literally crush her.
(16:26):
She went into a deep depression. She would never admit it.
She went to a deep depression when she couldn't get
when she couldn't get a job, and finally got a
job at the state, and she would telling me, just
get a job at the state, Just get a government job.
Once you get that, you you know you'll you'll be okay.
Didn't want to hire her because she was older, she
had the skills, she was a lawyer worker. It was
(16:48):
on one job twenty thirty years. She couldn't get the job.
So her plan was, Okay, I'm just gonna work till
I'm sixty seven, till i'm seventy two, and I'm my
mom didn't make it past sixty two. I am deeply
hurt when I read that letter, that article, that sixty
(17:12):
two year old woman that got told you got ninety
minutes to leave. I just can't help them think about
my mother who passed away at sixty two working for
the state. That was all she had.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Wow, the ain't no.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
And even when people say, oh, well you get a
severance for six months, okay, twenty five thousand dollars, that
ain't enough. So how can we be sitting around there
laughing at people and oh, that's all right. There they
come and get your job. Then they got to come
to the private sector. Yeah, they coming to get your job.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Right from where you think you're gonna be working. That
mean they gonna push you out in the vehicles. Literally,
crime gonna go up. What's the next thing you do?
You can't make it, can't make it. What's the next
thing you're gonna do? I am concerned more than concern.
(18:14):
I'm not an anxious person. Marcella's You've never the whole
time you've seen you, you'll never heard me, you know,
like be like this. You know, oh man, you know,
I'm like, I do know we're gonna get through it.
I do know that. But what I know is everybody
that start ain't gonna finish. Yeah, that's that's what I know.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I know.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I ain't never seen nothing like this like this is
I ain't never I ain't never seen nothing like this.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Ain't nobody ever seen nothing like this, not in my lifetime. Yeah,
I mean I get it. Be hard on Democrats need
to do more.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
But everything Trump is doing was a policy that was
in place. So Biden's doing something dim crast is doing
something because he reversing it. Yeah, so you just hyper
focus on LGBT. Okay, I get it, But was it
worth all of this? So we're gonna see in real time? Yeah,
and that scares me.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
It's like a lot of a lot of stuff shutting down,
a lot of businesses shutting down.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
This is it's getting real bad.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
How huh?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I was gonna say, like even I remember going to
the mall. Uh o the stores have closed down.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Now you know.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Someone just told me they're Hooters. They filed for bank rusting.
Like I was just saying to somebody's like everything I
remember as a as a as a child, it's being demolished,
Like everything is gone.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
How has the activity been on? Because I remember one
day when I called you like, ain't nobody order none
all day? And I'm like no, nor no, Yeah, so how.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Uh it's it's picked up a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm noticing it's it's usually picking up more so in
the evening time. No now less time and breakfast time
he used to be booming.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Not no more. It's usually the only dinner time now
mm hmmm.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I mean people stacking their money.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Right, which I'll selling my brother, which means that's less
income for me. Now, just like.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
In Atlanta, got another spot. I got to figure out
how to pay it. I guess who's eating sandwiches every
day last week? I got the apartment to be able
to so I don't have to be in a hotel.
You know, I gotta film every Friday. So I got
the apartment because being a hotel, I was having to
go out eat every day, door dash, uber eats. I said,
(20:45):
all this ain't gonna cut it.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, I got this.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
This gotta make sense, said I might as well. When
I'm spending on hotel and eating out, Just give me
a little apartment and by my sandwich meeting, by my
you know, like straight up. You know, I got apprecerate.
I can keep my sodas, I can keep my you know,
all little stuff uneed my water that's saving me money. Yeah,
(21:08):
you gotta make sense to me. I know how to
make sense.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, I get my food for the food patch. I
ain't above it.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I don't be above it, roommate, but you ain't above that. Yeah, yeah,
don't be above the sweet art. I just I just
want to see us make it. I appreciate you, know
the time you give me. I try to give you
what I.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Can and I appreciate that too.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, I'm just trying. I wish I could. I wish
I could be like some of these duper selfis who
got these million dollar deals they got so I can say,
come on ourselves, come on in them, give you sixty
thousand a year. I know I will say this as
we close, because this is important. I don't want people
to think that you know that we don't have cover.
(21:59):
We'll say this one thing that we know for sure.
We know God got us. Always said that, and we
know that, and now we have to believe it more
than that. But what we can't do is just use
it as a coping mechanism and just not do anything.
You gotta come over with creative ways, like you're saying, hey,
my brother gonna do some of the beats. I'ma do
(22:20):
some of new beats. Okay, I'm gonna do this. I'm
gonna cut cofts on this, this this. I just want
people to have a strategy as well as faith. And
I do know that those you know, God's people, you're
a good person. Marcella like he's going he's gonna look out.
I do know that. But I just want people to
(22:42):
have a plan, not not scared, but strategy. And you
you need to have a little bit of something to
shaking you up right now a little bit though, you
need to need to shake in your boots a little bit,
just so you can move with a little bit of urgency.
Because people done got too comfortable protecting their peace and
tapping out and get somebody else to do it and
(23:03):
what y'all want from a store and the comments and
all of that, and we've just been completely distracted. Yeah,
so the wake up call is coming. We gonna keep
giving as much information as we probably as we can here.

too much taislm but and I get it. But at
least you know where to find it. Every week, I'm dropping.

If you can't handle every week, tap in every other week,
do something, share with somebody. Maybe you cannot affordune I
get this information because it's not a lot of us
out there doing what I'm doing. It's way more foolishness,
way more misinformation, way more clickbait, way more drama. So
those of us that do this, we need the extra
(23:45):
extra support to try to get out as much as
we can to try to make an impact on the
least a few, Right, so I appreciate y'all. We're gonna
start opening up the show, you know, for people to
come on in talk, come figure out strategies. I don't
know all the answers. Let's push back on each other
and try to you know, figure it out, challenge each other,

did that and look forward to having that brother back.
