Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yea from.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You don't want to.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Ask your question real good, Let's just keep it real
straight shot with no chaser. I'm gonna get a little
bit ruptured. I'm here for it.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Those who really believed in the American process, all of
us street shot, no chase with your girl Chessel figure
out on the Black Effect podcast networking is that everybody's
testing figure straight shot, no chaser on the Black Effect
podcast network. I keep telling myself half anniversary. Every episode
I've been saying that Marcella's the last six episodes, they
(00:37):
probably said, tell.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Him we got it, you got a new.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It's never too much like it ain't never too.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Specially canceling contracts lefting right, I'm grateful for Black Effect.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
We hopefully ain't. We was able to make it another season, right.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Black Effect obviously is d I to the highest level
because we are definitely blasting and we believe in black
voices over so I'm just grateful for it. Like for real,
this is just having a conversation about, you know, one
of my girlfriends, Michelle, as you know, talking about you know,
these uncertain times and just not knowing what's what, and
(01:15):
even for those of us who plan a lot you know,
I consider myself with a one year, two year, five year,
twenty year, thirty year plan. You know, I'm a longtime planner.
And even for me, it's like, man, this everything that's happening.
(01:36):
It's not that I'm having an anxiety in ourselves about you know,
what's going on. It's just as I get older and
we don't know what's going on in the media, we
don't know how we can cover things. We don't know
what repercussions, if any, are going to happen from that.
We don't know if for example, you know, just letting
(01:57):
people know, like Black Effects started and in twenty twenty,
it's important that people know this, you know, as a
result of the George Floyd, the George Floyd murder, if
you will. That's not why Black Effects started, but the
timing of it, with having sponsors and having companies that
wanted to invest in black voices that mattered.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Right, That's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It's not just contracts that you know, people thinking target
or fluff or contracts or people ain't doing the work. No,
some of these companies, not all of them, some of
them really say, you know what, we're going to commit
to give back money to the black community and black
effect podcasts and things like that are some of those things, Marcellos.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
They don't think about that.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now, many of these companies may still choose the partner
with a black effect, choose the partner with the revolt,
but there's no incentive anymore. And so when people sit
back and say, well, it should be just merrit, it
should be well, let's look at that, Marcellis. I wasn't
planning on going there, but let's, you know, look at that.
If they say, well, we're only going to buy advertisement
(03:03):
for podcasts that do ten million or more in episode
the Joe Rogan's of the World, well black podcasts will
never have a chance.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So because again podcasts haven't evencent of podcast listeners are white.
I need you to know these guys, because you know
y'all love video. Oh you need a show. This is
a show. It's a weekly show. It's just not visual.
Doesn't mean that it's not a show, Marcello's because it's
not visual. You know, when we don't support these things, Well,
I'm telling y'all get five people to subscribe, like numbers
(03:34):
really matter, and and it really matters when the way
my format here is set up Marcello's It's not set
up to cloud chase. It's not set up to say
something sensational because I need you to click on it
on YouTube so you can watch the first seven minutes
of ads, and you know, I can get money on
(03:54):
the back end. And every day I got to say
something sensational, put something in the hashtag line. No disrespect
to that, but that's not what we're over here doing.
This is set up to actually be able to spend
the amount of time we need to have a long
We need to to actually talk about the issues, not
try to sensationalize things, because we don't get paid off
(04:15):
clicks in that way. So our partners who have invested
in wanted to make sure that black voices are still heard.
I need you guys to know how critically important and black.
They didn't tell them to say this. I'm saying this
how critically important it is to support networks like Black
EFE Podcasts Network, and in particular shows like mine and
even like Tamika Mallories. Because our shows don't generate the
(04:38):
numbers that a sports show does or show about dating,
you know, and those things. You know, we have to
work five times ten times harder, and we still don't
even get half of what they get. So, guys, I
really need you since so many of y'all keep saying,
let's do ourseales and do ourselves, and we need to
do our sales. Okay, this is how we need to
(04:58):
do for ourselves. I need you to as ten people demand,
like Marcella's pull up on them on the driveway, demanding
that they subscribe to this podcast. They don't have to
listen to it every week, or you can even like
David Banner, I have the same idea. I said it before,
and somebody told him. I was like, I'm glad that
idea is getting around. You may remember Marcella's when I
was saying that sometimes you can just turn these movies
(05:19):
on onto be and just let.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Them play in the background.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, just let them play over and over while you
doing something else, or just let them play. And David
Banner said somebody when I interviewed him last week, he said,
somebody told them that I did.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I said, I said the same thing.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So hopefully you know that's getting around. Play the podcast,
let it just play in the background while you clean
up the kitchen, whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I want you to tap in.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I want you to pay attention, but I also want
people to be very strategic and mindful of what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Now, one thing about it.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
We're gonna come out stronger or it's gonna be a rap. Yep,
we got a choice. We either gonna come out stronger
and really learned to be when we say we all
we got really know what that looks like? Micro organized?
That's what I'm pushing. I came up with that term
micro organized townhall that I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I'll just remind folks again.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
March thirtieth in Atlanta, Bankhead Seafood, four pm. Micro organized.
One hundred people in the room. How can one hundred
people in the room do? Marcella's note this like church?
Turn around, look at your person next to you, Look
at your person you know, like straight up? Yeah, who
in here know how to fix a car? Who in
(06:36):

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Like?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I'm like dead ass, marcell Like down to the anybody
here know how to can food?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Do anybody here know how to? Like?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's the type of stuff we need to be on.
It's not about scare tactics, it's not about fear mongerant.
It's about it is what it is, like you was
telling me when you was like, I need to get
some such fixed on my car. Okay, cool, we need
to be asking in the room. Anybody mechanic? Anybody do anybody?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
We know Bankhead seafood got fit a seafood. We know
they can't just have this food just sitting here. How
many ten of y'all can commit?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Do?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Y'all got an extra twenty dollars once a week? Not much.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You ain't gotta come in and ball out for one hundred.
You got extra twenty and you take that extra twenty five.
I love Papadoles, as you know. I love papados. That
extra fifty at Papadoles. Can we bring that over to Bankhead.
We gotta get real strategic and down to the like
your list of top five things you're going to you know,
(07:37):
be intentional about.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, definitely uncertain times for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I'll be on my friend all the time. I appreciate
the white church you go to, but we just can't
afford that right now. We need see planning in the
Black church because the Black church. I got my problems
with churches.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I really do. But jamal Brian Church like him, like
him or not.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Those types of churches we actually really do need surviving
for real, because it's only a handful of preachers that
actually will go out and fight white supremacy. So if
you're gonna pay your times to anybody, give it to him.
If you're gonna be part of you're gonna serve anywhere.
If you're gonna give anything, let it be to the
black church. It's gonna do the black book drive, this
is it, gonna do the black haircuts for school, gonna
(08:19):
do the black turkey, Like, come on, guy, we gotta
be thinking about all of this. It's not about being
a biggie, being racist, separatist, whatever you wanna call it.
This is about squabble up, tighten up, and looking out.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
For each other.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
No more of this mystery each other, you know, just
saying that, No, we need to know who it is
and what it looked like and what they picture look like.
You know what I'm saying, Like straight up right, that's
what type of time I'm on. So y'all gonna see
me talking about it, pushing it, reiterating it on every show.
(09:01):
I want to go through quickly the first four weeks
of the Trump administration, For those of you that's saying,
you know what, I ain't got time. I don't want
to watch it. It's to the pressing the ninety two percent.
Y'all say, y'all out of it, the fuck around and
find out, let it all burn. You know they need
to find that on their own. Well, this is affecting
(09:21):
us all. I ain't telling nobody to get off, get
off their couch.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I feel you.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I feel just like I put a message this week myself.
I don't know if you have a chance to sell
on my page. Democrats. When y'all do this, when y'all
set people up to know, damn well they didn't have
a chance of winning, this is what happens. You make
them totally get out of the system. Yeah, you make
them say what's the point? I mean, it's bad, it's bad.
(09:46):
Go look at the post on ball Alert. When they
put out there and said, hey, y'all's time for us
to get to work. Every last one said, I ain't
doing shit. They said, I'm tired, I'm done all the
energy that.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Was around Harris.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I know y'all don't want to hear me say it,
but she never had a chance in hell, not because
she wasn't qualified or shouldn't get it. Y'all get chick twisted.
I said, it's never about what you should get. I'm
telling how it is.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
So now you got all these black women to sit there,
I'm done with it. We try to tell y'all, y'all
fuck around and find out. Okay, that's fine, but if
Joe Biden would have lost, people wouldn't be feeling that way.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
They made that real personal, and that's fine. I'm fine with.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Shit getting bad enough for you for you to get
your ass back in the game. I get that too.
I ain't mad at even Democrats are like, no, we
try to tell y'all, y'all need to feel it. So
that way, next time we run and say what's gonna happen,
we don't have to guess and say it's just fair migring.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
It's just tactic. No, you can you gonna see it
in real time. So I get that too.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
But also it's making people just totally tap out period,
not just on the federal level but all things because
you sold a dream. Yeah, it's like if you didn't
have too many bad men, too many bad women, you
don't trust none of them, you know, what I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I don't ever want to be married or they want it.
It's just that's where we are.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, yeah, bad bad, bad marriage.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
It's bad.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And they and they kept saying, oh, everybody's gonna come back,
and said, you see, everybody gonna come back once get
through the holidays. They ain't came back where they at Marcella.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Because ain't.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
They doing that? Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Joe Biden's signed up over there at a at a
talent agency.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
They ain't came back.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I ain't coming back.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So all I can do is do what I can
do because I'm stuck in it. Yeah, good times, bad times,
no time. You know. I'm stuck in so soldiers don't
get out the game. Yep, I can't get I don't
have no choice. I suw wish I could I bring you?
I do, I'm serious, I do. I tell God, this
is a blessing. I don't even know if it's a blessing.
(12:02):
It straight up curs at this point because I want
to go do something else so bad.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I do, And then you can the Lord ain't don't
you yet? Well what you the Lord tell you? They
ain't told me, because I swear to god, I don't
want to do this, So let me get through this
guy so they can.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I want to be I wish I could be like
y'all something, sipping y'all coffee and all that. So let's
go through a couple of these things. First four weeks,
mass federal firings. I don't even know how to explain this, Marcella,
because it's all over the place. One minute, they offer
the buyout, then people took the buyout, then they took
the buyout back, then they accidentally gated bike.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
I don't even know the accurate information to give you.
I really don't.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Some people been let go, then they had to bring
some of the people back on the nuclear weapons.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Some gonna be forever let go. I really don't even know.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
How to explain it. You're chaos, because it's just complete chaos.
All I know is there's been mass firing guys, FBI agents, prosecutors, scientists,
educationational farming, data experts, overseas, a workers, human resource person
that I mean, they just came in here and went crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Well did he not say he was coming back for revenge?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Exactly what he said?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I said, Dictator and Charming was like I don't know
about dictator.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
He said dictator on day one, and I ain't that
what he did. It looked like that's exactly what he did.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, this time than he was last time.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
That's right. The Consumer of Financial Protection Bureau, that's a
big one.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Uh. They protect the public. That's what protected the public
at in two thousand and eight financial crisis. Like that
is a big deal. So like you know Price gal Jean,
when these tariffs happened, We'll get to that at a minute.
The consumer protection marcellis, that's what was protecting us. Wow,
they done took that out the game. They said they
(13:57):
pausing it. Heos utterer employees, that's driving up the unemployment rate.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
The unemployment about to be sky yep.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
And then say you know they're gonna be unemployment. Ain't
gonna be saying they don't have no more. They don't
have no money to fund everybody.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Right, and it ain't gonna be no who's gonna working
out because that's government too. Oh yeah, so who's gonna
be working there? It's a mess. The i R s
letting folks off the tax return to Marcella's feel away
about the bath kittting he don't feel way about me
getting because I got to pay taxes for Marcella's feel
a way about they get that tax return? Your tax attorney,
(14:39):
he's stuck on Wow, thirty Yeah, forget about the thirty
thousand the costs for the average child to yeah, to
actually have one or so what somebody get back three
thousand and they spending thirty? I get bad zero, right,
But you ain't gonta to spend Guess how much you
gotta spend for kids?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Zero? You know, I like, I like paying.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Works that great. You ain't got to spend nothing of
no kids and you don't get nothing back for no kids.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I was supposed to go that your damn sho ain't
getting back you have a baby, damn showin't getting back
what you spending.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So no worries. You're still on the other side. That's
your goal. You want to make sure you go on
the up side.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You won. Now there's a lot of legal challenges. It's
also the attorney's not real loud about it. But the
judge has been fighting, you know, trying to but a
lot of judges he got. But court challenges, Uh, they said,
(15:47):
it's court challenges everywhere. Seventy lawsuits nationwide challenging his executive orders.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
This is a mess.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, and he got his like you said, he got
his Supreme Court justicip So it's been a really really
be even more chaos.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The Republican Congress, they said, giving up little resistance, little pushback.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
They scared the talk.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Judges have issue more than a dozen orders to temporarily
block some of Trump's stuff, like the extended automatic people
born in the city and the rights of citizenship, which
gives them us access to a sensitive federal data. Man,
that is going to be a mess. A lot is
going on on that slowing down the orders. His White
(16:37):
House Press secretary said that this is an abuse of
the rule of law. They disagree. They think y'all actually
the ones abusing the law. So it's just a lot.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Economic outlook worsens is the second thing. These eggs that
y'all kept talking about high as hell they got.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I saw a story about them stealing eggs somewhere.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Inflation role at a monthly rate of zero point five
in January. So inflation back up. Now, who's watch it's
gonna be on. It's gonna be on trumps of Biden's.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Of course, you're gonna blame it on bike.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh okay, like he always do it. That's crazy. Trump
said he was lower inflation day one. It actually went up.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
So he didn't keep his word on that one.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
But then they said the press secretary said they blame
him Biden because he was just coming out.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Okay, we let's see what it look like next month.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Right, like got worse than me.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Right. Federal Reserve report Industry Production also found the factory
output slipped zero point one percent in January, largely due
to five point two percent drop in the making of
motor vehicle and parts. You know y'all keep saying we
ain't got to worry about the terrorists because we can
start making them here. Well, it look like they don't
(17:55):
know how to do too good job of making them.
And that means if we're getting our parts from China,
like we get them Jewey of our parts from China,
that tarf that y'all just put on China, they said
they got something else for us, They're gonna put it
on us. So if we're slowing down making parts here
and we gotta depend on China for parts and China's
charging us more for parts, what that looked like?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
What's that gonna look like.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yep, fair trade getting into that rolls right into the
next point, tariffs on China imports on Canada and Mexico.
Now you go to China and tell me how much
stuff you see this, say, made in America, and then.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Tell me how much you see here made in China.
Who getting the short end of the of the deal?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh ye, are.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Playing to separate, he said, Trump playing a separate additional
tears on autos, computer chips, and pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Well, that means your medicine.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, that the Biden administration that y'all say it ain't
doing nothing that you know, got down a lot of
medication for people.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's gonna go back up.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
In addition to the twenty five percent tariffs on stealing
aluminum that he announced. I don't know, marcellus.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
He also do something with the overdraft theme.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I think the overdraft fighting. Yeah, Biden had made a
policy that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
We reduced it in the junk talking about junk fees.
We covered it on the front page. Nos like junk
fees extra five dollars here there overdraft this feed that.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, I thought I read Trump. Trump reverse reversed that.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Oh okay, so you back to paying the fees. Yep, Wait,
what Democrats y'all really did pull a big one. If
you see y'all been talking about what y'all was doing,
people wouldn't be saying they ain't doing nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I don't blame them.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Y'all gonna see what they did because he takes he
stopping everything that he did, so it's.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
A good way to know what he did. I just.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah, but Democrats, like I posted this week what y'all
gonna do? Because I'm sick all three y'all, I wrote
a letter to Democrats, progresses and these influences.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
My mess of the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Are y'all gonna roll out a massive hiring recruiting or
not for local and state seats and operatives? Y'all should
be doing that now. It should be commercials everywhere. Do
you want to run officers? Do you want to run
off like I'm talking about a straight up like you're
running for like a straight up massive yeah, recruiting campaign
(20:41):
if you think just posting Jasmine Crockett every other day
with people in the comments, Yeah, queen, that doesn't putting
nobody in the seats. Mid Terms is coming up. I'm
not even talking about mid terms Congress, if they gonna
keep whatever they're gonna do for you, I'm talking about
these local seats. Least keep our cities intact. What the
(21:03):
hell are y'all doing? Progressive Party, I'm calling y'all party
because y'all stand alone.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Go to the Green Party. If you the Democrats don't
like y'all.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Bernie Sanders sitting up here on TikTok, he ain't did
a rally in years. You keep trying to change Democrats
of neoliberal neoliberal get out of the shit. I'm sending
it to my progressive friends for real. Go to the
Green Party and build it out. Y'all want to build
it because the chaos that y'all causing in the having
people crash out in Congress has a lot to do
(21:37):
with why Democrats don't have control. Now y'all done crashed out,
lost damn.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Near half the squad of so say, and now what
y'all swear?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Everybody everybody like progressive policy, the polls say, but can't
get nobody elected.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
That man never show up.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And these are my I got way more progressive friends,
and I got what they say neo libro. But I'm
telling this this infrastrutor that's trying to take over moderate Democrats.
They don't want you go to the Green Party, build
it from scratch. I would love to see black leadership
over there for sure, y'all letting doctor Stein ConTroll it.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Go over there, get us get.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
A third party option, because just sitting in there calls
and chaos, they ain't doing shit. My third gright is
to these damn influencers that all of a sudden talking
about politics for clips, running scams with these dreams we
(22:49):
need to do for seale. Now make sure you buy
myself and such for nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
For you, you.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Still need to have politics involved. Yeah, what are you
talking about?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Selling people hope?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Selling people hope and lies?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
You're just doing it a different way applies. Get out
the car. We need you on the ground, all right,
sitting up in the front.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Seat that ain't move. You got millions of people. I
don't have millions of followers. Why don't you tell your
people let's go to this training, like straight up, we
need your help.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
You're saying it every day, Yeah, just saying, and what
is that doing? Dal Huglely, We need your help. The
content is good to put out there Marcella's. But I
need y'all to get involved. So I'm gonna give y'all
my three reminder. A couple of things I want to
give y'all as some real time things that you know
that can help you as these tariffs hit. Just a
(23:45):
couple of things. This is some research that I found
that I thought was pretty good. Cut your your auto
insurance payment.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Definite.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Want yeah, go to coverage dot com. Try to see
if you can say that stuff makes a difference. One
dollar here, twenty dollars here. Also, this is another I'm
add check these little subscriptions. You got five dollars here,
two dollars there. This that check that that add up
to every dollar add up. He does really do make
a difference. They got a website called coverage dot com
(24:16):
that can do some you know, across the board on
your insurance.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Make that difference.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
A ticket that you may thought that you've been getting
a search charge for all this time, that may have
fell off. You might get twenty dollars knocked off, might
get third out dot off. That's gas for somebody number two.
Avoid impulst purchases. This is all this This I'm gonna
add to this with this fly by night gimmick that
y'all love, saying, Oh I got an idea, This ain't
(24:42):
the time for your bright idea. This ain't the time
for your bright ideas. They got some credit card debt
companies that will pay stuff off for you. Uh, they
got a National Debt release site.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Go to that.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
But shit, the way they turn these programs down on.
Know how long those programs gonna be available, so you
right away. Better go right away, because there are some
programs like medical bills, you know, credit card reducing interests.
Go to that National debt relief stay at these high
interest loans that mean, if you got a raggedy car,
(25:19):
you know your credit ain't good, better dry this ship
to the wills fall off. That's what I'm doing, Drive
it literally to the wills fall off. Oh loud, old,
old loud fins love it. I'm not in town enough
to buy no new car. I don't go in no place,
you know, storing back here that I will ride that
bitch till it ain't part.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
No more above it at all.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
For homeowners, they say, let a company pay your home
repair bills for you. That may not apply to many
of us, but there are companies out there that you
know will pay bills for you. Also, I want to
say this if you are I got rent houses and
be careful for the longtime our sellers. I didn't really
trip about the extra little stuff that I know they do,
(26:09):
but now I got to be mindful of that. For example,
it happened today the heater was out in my rent house.
I got American Home Shield. Only pay one hundred dollars
for the person to show up. That's all the costs
to fix it. If they need to replace it, that's
all it costs. So my company that manages my manages
(26:30):
my rent house, there's like, oh, do they're not gonna
be able to get out here until tomorrow? Do you
want us to send somebody? See, they put extra money
on when they send somebody. They don't think I know that,
but they do.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
I know it.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Don't trip about that, but I'm like, no, bring us
some space heaters, just like I got space heat right
now next to me. You know, bring some space heater
y'all normally do, and the people to be there in
the morning. It's not below temperature freezing or nothing like that. No,
I can't let y'all get by on that extra two
three hundred dollars. I'll especially with this tennis.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
She just pay rent.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
She been behind, she was in aviction court, so I
can't afford to just be you know, three hundred here,
two hundred there. They got little things, guys that you
may not know about free cash dot com, little games
that you can play.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
If you're on your phone all the time and you're
just sitting around ignoring your spouse, your woman, scrolling all
day on your internet, go to free cash dot com
and you can get twenty five dollars, one hundred dollars,
fifty dollars. You should try that out. I want to
see if it actually work. Like especially like if you drive,
(27:42):
you uber, you wait on another ride, you need downtime.
Free cash dot com pays for games. This is a
real thing. I checked it out. Might be twenty five dollars,
might be fifty dollars, maybe one hundred and fifty, so
some may be three fifty. Probably don't get the bigger ones,
you know, options all that time. Probably got a build
up to that, but check it out. You're not doing
nothing else. If you got kids, teenagers and they don't
(28:05):
they like playing games, put.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Them on that.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
M that's an extra twenty five dollars for their lunch money. See,
I'm all about that type of thinking.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Like people don't.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I'm about really, if your kids are playing games, put
them on that. You got to give them three dollars
a day for lunch. Bout five dollars a day for lunch.
Whatever the trade costs. You know, they can be their
lunch money. Yeah, they're not old enough to go get
a job, more than likely for have them to do that. Yeah,
(28:42):
next one say, have someone manage your finances. Probably can't
afford to get a financial advisor, but you your damn
show can ask your cousin that you seem to do
better than you.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
She did it. You know what I'm saying, Like, you
better ask somebody something.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Today I was telling my friend with the tickets we're
trying to sell for the town hall, I did a live.
I sent an email out to thirty eight hundred people,
and then I asked on the live, I asked, will
five of y'all share the flyer?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
The end result was twenty two people shared the flyer.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Last time I checked, the email still went after thirty
eight hundred and I did the live. I sold five
tickets as a result of that.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
That's a big return. Don't seem like a lot, but
it is.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
It also was just three sales, one person about three,
the other two about no three four five s no
seven tickets one person about three, two other people about two.
That's hustle, Marcellus. That's how you organize. Yeah, well, I
know every day. So my friend he thinks, well, I
(29:49):
just posted and they'll just come. No, Like I pushed
the line, I was.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Texting email and texting in like you gotta be on this. Yep,
every day. I gotta go live. Every day. I gotta go,
you know.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
And this same money coming to my pocket because the
one hundred tickets we're selling, that's going towards the two comedians,
the DJ, the shots that I'm buying, the time that
I'm asking people to come, you know, the publicis it's
going back directly back to the people that made it happen. Yeah,
(30:21):
but I got to work to do that. It ain't
just given to me. Switch high interest that if you
can for lower interest. I love credit card. I've and
using credit Karma for years. Credit Carmer does a great
job of letting you know Okay, maybe you can get.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
This car to that car to move this from here
or there or whatever.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
But I've been paying high interest on my cards with
my high limit for a minute, and they know it,
and they're just scamming us.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
It's just all this to it.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I run a bit, yeah, because my credit is good,
but the credit interest now it's terrible. But it's just
it's what I have to have or stay in business.
You paid for your opinions cash kick with a K
K A s H K I c K surveys. Y'all
(31:12):
got an opinion, get out the comments and come do
this and get paid for it, because y'all stay in
the comments with opinions, right, y'all, stay hr suggestion box
all the time. Here you back, you can give your
opinion where somebody actually cares about your opinion.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
What a box is actually opening?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
That's right then, already mentioned don't pay for prescriptions. You
don't use.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Rocket Money is a place that will let you pull
all your prescriptions subscriptions. But if you got an iPhone,
you can go to your uh name, you know, at
the top there's a subscription box.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Click subscription and it'll show you where your subscriptions are
Sometimes you're paying like two dollars stuff you don't even know.
They said, also like membership, if you need membership, it's
like AARP.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I know this is important to you because you're always
looking out for seniors. But like it's sixteen dollars a year,
but you get a lot of discounts and all kinds
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
I am big on rewards, big.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
All my travel, everything I spend, I spend on my
Southwest credit card.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Everything, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
It's a piece of gum meal, you borrowing whatever, everything
going Southwest. Even though I pay a higher interest rate.
I look at that interest rate. Let's say I pay
two fifty a month for interest. I look at that
as a free ticket. I basically don't fly any don't
pay the fly anywhere. Southwest has the best reward program,
hands down. I don't care what nobody say. They can
(32:44):
tell y'all what you want to Baal Delta damnon plugs.
We just got plugs on Southwest. I'll wait till I
get them all on the floor. That boy's got the
best reward program. For every seven eight thousand points, sometimes twelve,
ten thousand, anywhere from to twelve you can get a
one way ticket. It's double that with Delta, about twenty
(33:07):
five thousand points to get a one way ticket with Delta.
So every month, if you're spending every dollar, let's say
your bills are three thousand a month and you spend
three thousand on hair or this or that or tenth days,
you know, every month, you're pretty much getting yourself at
least a one way somewhere. So I'm big on that.
(33:29):
Another thing I do when I travel. If I'm not
staying in Hilton, Hilton primarily marry I. Second, I'm gonna
look for Hilton first because they got a good reward program.
Every time I stay at Hilton, I get points, but
also they give me an Amazon credit. My daughter orders
something on Amazon once a week, so I get like
thirty forty bucks from Amazon. Or if I'm not getting
(33:54):
it that way, when I rent a car through Avis
Avis only, I don't know if the other ones do it,
but I always get a credit with Amazon with Avis,
those little things make a difference, you know, thirty dollars
Jada getting some on Amazon, it's thirty dollars less out
of my pocket. I count down to the penny like that.
(34:14):
I'm not start using cupons in a minute. Shit, that's
another let me go and put that out that. Uh,
I get off since Corona, I don't go to the
girls store at all. I do nothing but Curry Side.
It's free. I give myself enough time to pick the
free option. The digital app Marcella's was good about Curry Side.
It's q piles, the digital coupons. They're right in there,
(34:36):
right there for you. Because ain't nobody you know, really
getting cupons, printing them off, doing all that. But as
you're filling up your cart, a q pon will pop
up and yeah, can apply digital cupone. That's an extra
one dollar two dollars.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It makes a difference.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, people, maybe y'all bottles, but that makes a difference.
So guys, that's just a quick, you know, quick giving
you information on what you need to do. I'm giving
my three things that I keep saying. I'm keep saying
over and over, say shack strap it with me, Say

is save your money, reduce your monthly bills, all the
stuff that I just mentioned.
Speaker 3 (35:29):

I'm saying whether it's a roommate, if it's family, if
it's friends, if it's whatever can bind. I'm also saying
shack as far as your business resources as well. I
told my friend, all of them got these little sweets
that they're all paying forty stylers. Y'all better combine that.

fronts and found you know.

the game.
