(01:41):
We gotta get a back cracking. We got to get
the YouTube backcracking. For those all that watched us on
when I was doing Two Way Weekly. If we could
do it with them over there, for them white folks,
we can do it for ourselves, right. So my campaign,
by the way in twenty twelve, was doing it for
ourselves in twenty twelve. So that contract we did that

(02:02):
had the show there weekly. They wanted me to do
a weekly commentary during the election. And so now we're
gonna start getting this YouTube page up. So we got
fifty five jobs over here, Revolte News, Straight Shot No
Chaser podcasts, and this will be live on the Straight
Shot No Chaser podcast on iHeartRadio. This will drop on Tuesday.

(02:24):
We're gonna start bringing you guys in the conversation. So
if you want to go live, you can go ahead
and click live on Instagram. If you want to come,
come in the conversation now, and we're gonna get a
better way to add you to the show. But let's
get to it, guys. I want to talk about the
Magical Negro. I don't want to talk about the Magical Negro.

(02:45):
You know, it's been heavy on me. I'm gonna keep
talking about, you know, folks that are losing their jobs.
We're gonna keep talking about you know, three hundred thousand
people that are gonna be impacted. Guys. I have to
do it. I have to talk about it because I
don't feel like people are talking about it enough. I
think there's a lot, you know, and well, let me
not say talking about it enough. We don't have enough
people who give damn to talk about it. To be

(03:06):
quite honest with you. So the few people who are
advocating for different things like the Target Fast and the
unions and all of that, people are stretched and so
we can't all do the same thing. We all have
to do something different. Shut out to Pastor Bryant. They're
focusing on, you know, the target fast and that does
deal with employees as well. I'm gonna go to his church,

(03:27):
I believe, somewhere around Easter weekend or Easter week preceding that.
I don't know the date, but I'm gonna go there
and actually work with those federal workers, you know, talk
to them about transitioning our skills, resume writing, all that stuff.
For those that don't know, I worked at the first
and third largest staffing firm in the world, A Deco
and thank you Sylvia A Deco and Robert have and

(03:50):
I own my own staff and firm, and so I
want to give my gifts on what I have in
that area, and I want to interview those folks. I
think it's important people here directly from the source, you know,
of what they're actually going through. And there's a huge disconnect,
a huge disconnect, guys, between the what's actually happening happening,

(04:11):
and the people who are talking on their behalf. But
I made a post today about student debt, and don't
I know Marcella saw it because I went live. I
made a post of that about student debt and the
Trump administration now canceling the income deferment option, and I
haven't had a chance to really dig and get down

(04:32):
to it, So don't hope. I don't want to get
too much in the details because I don't want to
be inaccurate about anything. But the bottom line is they
have either cut off these options for people to reapply
or will be or there's something some type of tampering
that is going to happen with income debt, the income debt,
the income deferment option, and what that means for people

(04:53):
that don't know. People that went to college have a
a loan, they can set up a payment plan, you know,
based upon on their income. So it's not that people
are not This is not for this is not the
debt asking for debt complete debt relief. This is for
those that are saying, I want to make a payment
based up on my income so that I don't default
so it doesn't mess up, you know, my credit. So, uh,

(05:16):
there's some type of tampering that's happening with that, and
I'm just gonna be honest about it. And I see
somebody in the weaving room stay right there. We want
to keep We want to bring you in the conversation. Terror,
Come on in, let's bring Terror in the conversation. You
can turn your camera on or off, but I'm gonna
bring you in the conversation. We got Terror as a guest.
Thank you for joining us. There is a what I'm

(05:37):
learning is well not what i'm learning I've been knowing.
I'm just gonna call it out for us. Remember guys,
when there was that college debt conversation and everybody was like,
you know, well, you know y'all should just pay all
bills or it ain't no point in having no degree,
And uh, you y'all learning in real time. There's a
real reason, y'all Tell if I'm wrong. There's a real

(05:58):
I don't know, resentment, ain't frustration, maybe lack of information
not across the board, but I see it. And I
see it even in the comments today on the post
that I make about how you don't need a college
degree and you should be able to just go get
a skill. And so I want to tap into that
tonight and I want to hear I want to do
less talking and I want to hear y'all feedback on it.

(06:18):
That when I was trying to explain, and I don't
know if your brother or sister, sir ma'am or whatever,
because of course he don't have his full name, you
don't have his pitch up, don't have us. I don't
know who I'm talking to, a bot or whoever. But
the person in the comments I was saying, it's not
that we you know what I'm saying, You could just
read books. You don't need to ed, you don't need
to go get a formal education. Well, I've hired thousands
of people, or Robert having a deck on not one

(06:38):
time Cliff when the client said they must have a degree.
Have I been able to say, well, you know, he
got a lot of book reports won or saint ain't
cutting it. And I think there's a I know there
is they Most people think that somebody would have agreed.
It's not saying we don't think you can learn something else,

(06:58):
or that the information and you don't have as valuable,
or that you don't learn more outside the classroom. I'm
pretty sure that most of us that win in God
our bachelor. I got my bachelor's, my master's, I'm in
school now for my second master on the way to
my PhD. It's not that we don't think there's other
things to learn outside. It's about checking the box. It's

(07:20):
about checking the box because the box that is working
against you, that is already working against you. Shout out
to Jazzy. No, I thought that was my nurse. Shout
out you though, Jazzy too. The box that is working
against you automatically when you walk into the room is black.
And for me, gender black and gender sometimes both work

(07:42):
against me. Sometimes you know it might be one of
the other. But one thing I can tell you, it
usually ain't working in my faith. It's usually not working
in my favor unless I'm walking into a black organization.
Which is why it's important to me to be all
black with Revote News. Why it's important to be with
all black. You know, iHeart radio black black pic podcasts work.
But when we're walking in the room, we are all

(08:03):
ready coming in with two boxes against us, or one
at the very least. So people with degrees are not saying, oh,
you can't learn nothing else. What we're saying is they
already have a system designed to put us out. So
I'm trying to check every box that I possibly can.
And on a lot of jobs, like my girlfriend works

(08:24):
on job, works in a legal department, she can't go
to the next level supervisor with that a degree. They
don't give down what the degree is in. They just
need a degree. So when I hear people say, well,
you don't need a degree for most jobs, you don't.
Everybody don't want to be certified in something. Everybody doesn't
want to have a skill. But I want to just
a skill, lonely job. But I want to point this
out because I think there's really some mis confusion at

(08:46):
this and I'm gonna give it to you and clip
marcells after this. There's really some confusion for some reason.
Y'all start thinking people with degrees don't have skills one
or the other, like you're thinking, oh, you need no
Let me be clear. And my comments, he's a grown
folks talking, these these big age folks talking. I'm not
talking about what we need to tell our children, how

(09:08):
we are putting trade back into school. I'm big on
you know, making sure we still have cosmetology available, making
sure we have carpentry available, making sure we have electrician.
You know, electricity all that I'm big on that. I'm
talking about us at our big ass age. I need
you to know. For those of y'all to say you
need a skill, I need you to know, I got
a skill. I went to cosmetology school. I have my bachelor's,

(09:30):
I have my master's, working on my PhD. Hopefully be
going to get my JD. Also on a Florida Supreme
Court certified mediator on the sybil, the County, the Appellate Division,
also sold insurance. I was a solicitor. I was Group one.
I was also a justic Type two. Those requires three
different licenses. Y'all got the game twisted about like somebody

(09:52):
just because they got a degree, they don't have a
c and then just so they don't have that, they
don't have experience.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
No.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
I got all of them skills and the degree and
a network on who you know, right, Kevin, Degrees, certifications
and relationships. You need all of that and still can't
get a job. Bill cannot get a job. Still have
to compete. If anything, I'm overqualifying. If anything, I'm overqualifying,

(10:21):
So I don't know where y'all getting this. You need
to have a skill. We got a skill, baby, What
you talking about? We're talking about checking the box so
that if I need it for this, I got it.
If I got needed for this, I got it. So
I don't know what that is. And but but I
want to tell y'all this, and then I'm gonna shut up.
We need each other, guys, in this moment. We need
This cannot be the degrees against the non degrees, the

(10:44):
skills against the non skill. This cannot be the certification
against the non circuit. Let me tell y'all, some black people,
what's about to happen is a race to the bottom.
This is not a scare tactic. This is not a
I'm just saying to be saying. I'm telling you what.
They are coming after all, all of us, all of us.
So the virtual We're doing our town hall in Atlanta

(11:08):
on March thirtieth, but the virtual town halls, and I'm
doing after this one on one with me and bringing
in specialists and bringing in experts and all of that.
That will be one on one. I'm giving y'all the
information y'all need right now, April First, we ain't talking
about what we need to do in the next ten year,
the next five year. I get all that, Cliff. I'm
talking about what we gonna do start in March seventeen,
eighteenth nineteen. What are the tools that we need right

(11:31):
now for survival? And I'm gonna tell y'all how I'm
doing it with my family in real time. We're gonna
be walking through this together. Guy, I ain't talk. I'll
save the time later about forty six million black people
got to get together. No, no, no, we're gonna be talking
to put a five in the chat that sounds good
to you? Instagram for the five in thee chat If
that sound good to you, you too. I'm gonna be
telling y'all the tips that I'm doing with my family

(11:51):
right now. Like, for example, you need to have a
family meet. You may not have a lot of family.
I don't. Twenty two of my immediate family's dead and gone,
so I can count on two hands when I consider family.
That's the best friend's family, my aum uncle. You need
to be having meetings right now about Hey, let's do
an assessm and who got what? But I say an

(12:12):
assess on who got what clip? I'm talking about, which
one of us out of ten of us owned a
house with the deep I'm talking about no making no payments.
Who owns the d Okay? I got a d Okay?
Bet if push come to show, we know, we can
all go down who Okay, Grandma, I know you got
some food. Can let's take let's do an account. How
much food is in here that we got? You know
what I'm saying, like real time, guys, real time? How

(12:34):

what's up with the bates? And I know we had
some flooding issues. I know you still got the can?
Can't food down there? I need to come home so
I can see, you know how much food we actually have?
Put a five in the chat. If y'all know what
I'm talking about, maybe y'all got everything, and so maybe
I'll maybe it's just me. And then and then there's

(12:57):
things like rememberh y'all went through COVID and everybody was
runn to the stores. Everybody. That was a test on
how to prepare you now, So in your circle you
should be saying, my best friend, she's getting water, extra water,
every chance she had. I'm gonna handle paper towels. Somebody
else need to handle sanitizer. Somebody will need. You can't
do it all by yourself. These are the type of
survival military m R. E. Tools that I'm gonna be

(13:21):
giving y'all as we move forward on these virtual chats, uh,
these virtual towel halls. Let me throw it over to you, Cliff,
and if you want to join on the Instagram, send
send a invite right now. I did put the cash
app out there. That's right, cash and appening. I want

I want to give them something for their time. So
don't think anything too big, too small. Cash app it
on up, appreciate it, and I appreciate all of your sports.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
But go ahead, Cliff. Yeah, it's it's a catch twenty
two right.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
We're so hypocritical when it comes to that, if you
think about it, we have this culture saying, hey, baby,
you gotta go get your education, go get your degrees,
and then when we go and get it, everybody's quick
to discount all of the education that we just got,
all of the skill that we just got it. We're
really hypocritical. I don't know what it is about that.
What I will say is I completely agree with you.

(14:22):
I happen to be a little bit different. Though I'm
an autodeact. I am college educated, I did not finish
I went to school primarily for performing Artis I still
work in that field. I'm primarily working in entertaining industry
as a vocalist, as an artist, and as a producer.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
I don't necessarily need to do that. I also work
as a linguist, and I.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Still thous like that because I found that something about
you tonight that I didn't know, so they know you
do this shit for real, you all American. I don't
tell the people about there quickly before because I don't
want them to get get when you say you were
a vocalist that ain't talking at Marcella's. We need y'all
to know just as you run through that. I was
want gone and tell the people now you're man, just

(14:59):
so they know you.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Yeah, I was on season ten of American. I got
all the way to Hollywood Week and then that was
the end of my role there. But it kept going.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
I was in my role, that's role, yeah, right up
to the.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
Groups and then it was it was a chop after that.
But it's all good because it really helped me. It
taught me what I need to learn about the industry.
And like I said, so that even that experience right there, right,
I still do that today. What I was more focused
on because I knew that I was gonna always be
or at least the plan was to always being entertainer, right,
So I did uh invest into the education. You know,

(15:37):
I've done the vocal trainings when I was a little boy.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
You know, I went to college for it all.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
And even like I said, my work in linguistics, I've
studied at the University of Yard, University Lesson. I'm not degreed,
but it is not lost on me that again, I
don't have a nine to five. I work completely for myself.
For the person who has these corporate American jobs, you
have to have that. Yeah, a lot of these some
of the stuff is qualified as I am. When it
comes to linguistic there's still a lot of jobs, and

(16:02):
if I wanted to take them, I couldn't. I've been
able to make my own path because I'm in a
very niche market we were talking about earlier. You know,
we both Creole people, right, I teach Louisiana Creole. I'm
one of five people who are the five foremost educators
and experts on Louisiana Creole. But that's a fairy niche
market in order to make our community go around in
order for us to be able to do all the

(16:23):
stuff were talking about trying to get hold of.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Like you said, we're worried.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
About the forty six million everybody following, but we have
to have a workflow. You're gonna have to have people
in corporate America and that stuff is going to require
you to have a degree.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
So yeah, that talking for it is real weak for me.
Any thoughts for myselles are You're just there to look
in the background.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Shut up, I'm because I'm having technical issues, don't. I
don't like this?

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Okay, you look good, Thanks for John. You at least
you show up for the background. Shout out to everybody
in the chat. I am reading your comments because I
want you all to be a part of the conversation. Well,
you know, good good stuff here on checking the dates
on canned food and doesn't the last as long as

(17:13):
you sue, that's right. You know, my grandmother can this
stuff a long time ago. So I don't know. We're
taking a risk. You know it might I'd be like
twenty five years ago for real.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
You know, hey, wait a minute and shout out to me,
because mind said we're gonna get in my roommatee.

Speaker 3 (17:25):

(18:02):
I swear I'm at home now. I'm not in Atlanta

I tell y'all, Atlanta been good to me, and this
just goes to prove it. The mayor's office is in
the chat right now. How many cities you know? Can
you really say you know that the mayor's office is
in the chat? Tapping in? Want to see what it

(18:24):
is we're talking about. So, Demetrius, I hope no. March thirtieth,
March thirty, not April thirtieth. In two weeks, we have
a sold out. I think we've only got like three
tickets left on guaranteed admission. The rest of you all
can try to figure it out at the door. But
if so, Marcelle's gonna be at the dose check it too.
I'm put you at the myself is good with that.

(18:45):
I think we're away for selling out, and Demetrians, we
need you there. March thirtieth, four pm. We got comedians
Erica Duchess, you know, from Atlanta, because want to make
sure people get their moneys where you know good. Some
comic relief have a DJ off the chain, some community conversation.

(19:06):
what they're trying to do, what they're trying to work on.
I know Commissioner callings inviting her, She's got her tickets, Demetrius,
I really need you to be there, give a good
little rundown on you know what people need from the city.
I'm gonna ask a couple of other folks that I
don't need to be there, just to tell you by
some programs. And then after that, y'all we party. You know,
I like to go outside, so my community events ain't
just gonna be just sitting around and if y'all y'all

(19:28):
thinking on coming, that ain't it. The last hour and
a half, the first shot is on me. Uh, We're
gonna do some hugging and crying. I believe in that.
I believe in the whole thing. I believe in a
little common belief. I believe in community conversation. I believe
in getting you a good shot. I believe in hugging
and crying and grieving all in the club and listen,

(19:48):
all of that we're doing. All of that. We are
building community. We are building community, building community. So please
guys go snatch those lives. Those last five or six tickets.
I think there's like five or six left, and that's
a blessing. To be sold out two weeks before, that's
a blessing. So Atlanta has been good to me. So Demetrius, please,

(20:09):
if you can't come, Demetrius, because it's Sunday four to eight,
please send somebody from this mayor's office because I was
very impressed last week when I went to the mayor's
reelection and was hearing, you know, all the things that's
been accomplished. Everybody got their criticism, so anybody can talk
about what you don't like. But I was impressed on
the housing that went up. I was impressed on the
youth crime that went down. I was impressed on the youth,

(20:32):
the summer youth program, you know what he's trying to
do in transportation. I was very impressed. So those are
the things and I felt good, y'all. I'm not gonna lie.
It felt good to be in a room full of
black people that give a damn about what's happening to
the city. The mayor talked about, hey, we don't know
what they're doing on the federal level. But Atlanta gonna
talk about racism. Atlanta gona make sure we got diversity.
Atlanta gonna make sure we're still at the table. Man

(20:53):
that just did that did a lot. And I know
a lot of y'all. So I see people in the
chat from DC and YouTube and all that. I know
a lot of y'all don't live in Atlanta, and you're like, okay,
but what the hell they got to do with me?
No worries. I'm trying. I'm gonna do my best with
you as well. We're gonna do virtual town halls after this,
Virtual town halls. After this, I'll do something on the
major cities like Chicago, La. Virtual you all can chime

(21:16):
in and still get the information and try to bring
those resources to you as well. Put a forward in
the chat that that sound good. So I'm sorry for interrupting.
Do what I wanted to just show show Demetrius some
love in the chat. So Demetrius, please pull up on us.
We need your support. And but back to Marcella's I

(21:43):
was telling myself, Marcellis is still above it all. You know,
he didn't walk over mad And y'all know my three
things save Shack stack shave, save stack shack huh strap trap.
So save is reduce your income, get your meat, get
your uh your income down. You know, I mean your

(22:04):
your cost of living down. Go to a cheaper place,
a cheaper apartment, whatever it is, cut out a bunch
of extra other expenses. That's say. Shack means get a roommate.
And I gave us on Pastor Brian's he said, you
know I can't support shack. And I said, well, you
ain't got to worry about supporting that. I'm telling them
I'm supported. You need the shack. Well, a shock ain't
just no romantic relationship. Is getting the roommate too, you know,

(22:26):
it's getting a roommate, it's reducing bills. I got a
home voice said, I've been listening to you, Tesla. I
got me a, I got me a roommate.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Good.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Put some carpet in the in the garage, and sell
that corner too, Sell that corner too, like we every
corner you can sell. We don't care what Marcella is
talking about. You better be damn selling it. This is
bunker down. Somebody on Instagram, somebody to check put bunker down.
We are in the bunker down.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Season.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
So that is the shack. Also, shack also means can
bind your resources. Businesses can bind. Right before we were
going live, I said, hey, Marcellus and Cliff, you can
also go live on YouTube with this same stream. You
can use this stream on your stream if that's something
you want to do. We all have to combine. If
you got a business, I'm working with two or three

(23:13):
other publicist, not a lot of black publicies, not a
lot of black people in PR. So I'm like, hey, y'all,

You know some people are gonna say you fear mongrel.
What would what would you say to them?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
I fear mangaret. I'm trying to scare you. I'm trying
to get you to be trembling in your damn boots.
I'm here. That's exactly what I'm doing. I got multi
millionaire friends who are building offices in Ghana right now
and ready opened up office in Gone in December. People

(27:31):
that got that got money money. It's it's getting on
Plan B. So if you don't have that and you
ain't scared, you should be terrifying. Yeah, I'm scared. I'm
here to scare your ass into action. That's exactly what
now Again, be anxious for nothing. We know God got us,

(27:52):
We know that, we know we are the chosen people.
We get that God got you. But it is not
just about prophesies. It it's about positioning and preparing. So
we're gonna position, We're gonna prepare, we're gonna prophesize, We're
gonna speak that thing as if it is. So I
wish I had somebody in the church were gonna speak
that thing as if it is. So we're gonna pray

(28:14):
our way through it, but we also go plan and
prepare and position, get in position, line, get in line.
So if we ain't thinking like that, hey, you're in trouble.
You should be scared. So I'm not saying be scared, like,
oh lord, what I'm gonna do. I'm saying, be motivated

(28:35):
to have a plan. Most Americans, not Black Americans, most
Americans across the board don't have five hundred dollars in
the bank for an emergency right now. Yeah, this is
a fact. I was just watching THENN and the lady
talking about, uh, you know, this is a good time
to be invested. What what like for real? What what?

(29:00):
Marcella's trying to invest in groceries?

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, yeah, I'm.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Trying to invest in gas where there I'm talking to them.
Maybe they all got it, y'all. Maybe I'm talking to
the wrong I'm talking to no, dude, oo, who don't.
We ain't got it like that?

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, And I even like I can share this with
Marcello shared it on one of the podcasts, which I
thought was great. Marcella's ain't got no shame with it.
I'll uber it in twenty eighteen, Marcello's do uber Eats.
He said he had his brother doing something. They gotta

(29:35):
running around the clock. That one car running around the clock.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
As we speaking, as we're doing this podcast right now,
he doing door dash when we got out the pocket.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
When we got the podcast, I'm going to go do
uber eats. That's right.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Talk to him Marcella like it's real, Yeah, this shit real. Hey,
y'all send a cash up so I can make sure
I give Marcella's in a cliff. I always like to
pay for their time. That's right, I'm asking. Can't do
for self? Testant figure on five dollars, two dollars, three dollars,
were taking it off. I like for they time. I

(30:10):
don't like people just coming in. Pay people for they time.
I paid Marcel's, I paid j and I got a
stab y'all. So this ain't like I'm not just telling
y'all to be telling y'all this. This is this is
what do for self look like?

Speaker 3 (30:21):
And you do that we careful about. I would say
I should be more careful my words.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
When I said I was gonna have no roommate, I
ain't think about you know, he don't mind me sharing
but he he can't get no apartment, you know what
I'm saying, because he.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Got he got a background. Yeah what you on the street.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, of course you can't let me and say, Plus
you need a roommate. See, God was telling you, don't
worry about Marcella. I'm gonna put you in a position
where you're gonna have to have a roommate because he
got his hand on you.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Right.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
For those of y'all that don't know, I met Marcellos
through him being in the chat, making himself available in
the chat, I can't say who is this young man?
He on every chat, every chat. For those y'all don't
know how long y'all been rocking with me, put a
three of you been rocking on me when you remember
me saying Marcella's I'm gonna give you a job. Marcello's
got himself thing up in there. He was a push

(31:10):
the line up for show for show. We did our
first training ourself right there at the thing that he
was sitting up there in the beginning, trying to be cute,
sip and tea talking me talking on y'all, just we
gotta come for help shirts. But Marcelli's is gonna be
in the building, and I'm so proud of him. That's

(31:31):
how you hustle. That's how you get a lot of
y'all want to get on the show based on arguing
me and based on all Marcells figured it out. He
figured it out, but he also figured it out every day.
You know what I mean. This is kind of hustle.
This is how you same thing with Cliff comment caucus chair,
keeping the comments on point, making sure on point, y'all. Hey,

(31:53):
he got a brand, he's pushing, he's putting out, putting
his music back out. Hey he got access to me.
Somebody the ear before we got on access. You serve
what services you've been helping me? You got that. This
is how you build. And if and if you're contributing
to something and somebody ain't willing to give you, extend
their gift, and you will to give me your gift.
You with the wrong people, Cliff, Yeah, you with the

(32:13):
wrong people. If they can't give you something, here go
twenty five dollars dollars, fifty dollars an hour. You're on
the thing with me an hour. That's fifty dollars an
hour or something. Yeah, And if I can't give you
my gift, at least share what you're doing or try
to then you with the wrong people. We got to
start getting around the right tribe. It's tribe building time.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
My mama always told me, go with the goers, don't
worry about who, And it makes so much sense, you
know when whenever about like even culture cultre, I'm gonna
pick on them a litle because I see him in
the chat right, and you know, it's all about how
do we build together the same talking points we always
talk about. We need to be getting together, we need
to be da da da da da.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Well, like you.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Say, realistically, that's not about to happen. Some people are
not gonna be down with the get down. Some people
are gonna have to be left behind just because of
their mentality, because of the way that they move, because
of the where they operate. Some people gonna not gonna
be able to move it's fast enough. And my mom
used to sum that up to me. She used to
teach me the same lesson simply by telling me, go
with the gords, don't worry about who, not who, don't
have you back, Go with the gords when you see

(33:11):
it home, it's time to go. It's it, that's it.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Hey, I'm y'all know right now, all of this Harriet
Tubman coming back and looking in June teenth and you
get myself to do it. And the rapture. That's why
I told y'all in definitely until our the notice. When
this horn go off, you better be ready. I'm like
the rapture. The Bible says you're gonna hear one time,

(33:35):
then say nothing about the times. Did it say something
about two times? But I know they not a believer it,
so they ain't got to worry about it. That's about
two times. We can't meet up. Can't wait to meet
you too, Chris. But did it say something about two
times or one time? Because I thought I said one time?
Did it take.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
The horn?

Speaker 1 (33:51):
That's some time. I'm blowing the horn and we ain't
coming back no second time. This is it. Whoever ready ready,
whoever gonna get left, gonta get left cause you're gonna
get us killed. Yeah, huggle on the block and coming
back for you gonna get us killed. So we're moving
forward now this town hall with these one hundred and
something because it's one hundred guaranteed tickets. I don't want

(34:12):
to oversell because banking seafood is a smaller place. So
I want to make sure we got you know, guaranteed folks,
and you can always count on maybe fifteen though they
pay the tickets advance, you know, fifteen may not show
up because of this or that or is you know,
something happened, and so there'll still be some opportunity for
you to get at the door. But I believe we
can still hold about one hundred and fifty. But I
didn't want to oversell it, you know, because then people

(34:34):
be upset they paid for a ticket. Now some people
give y'all tip organizing tip because those I'm gonna do
those training too. Don't never go with what they sell.
Say the capacity is all what. Don't be greedy and
try to oversell no tickets and then you got people
sitting outside who can't get in. I learned that at
nineteen that my first swim party, twenty five hundred people
showed up and I thought it was gonna be a

(34:55):
party for two hundred. So always under sell, always consider
because my post I was like, oh, no, people gonna
show up and this is comedyin't gonn want to waste
their money. I said, no, Y yn't understand organizing. It's different.
People show over foolishness. That's why I got foolishness in it,
got the comedy, the shots, the DJ. But people will
they'll just solve no big deal, whether they pay for
it or not. And you have to always account for

(35:16):
emergency or you know, different things like that. So you
always want to have your numbers down. You know, you
always want to say okay, ten or fifteen, ten percent,
cut off ten percent, just like in a relationship, count
on ten percent of that person not being who they
say they are. I wish I had somebody didn't know
what I was talking about. Well, yeah, those are things,

(35:41):
you know, little tips. I you know, I don't want
to take too much more of your time. I thank
you for joining me. We're gonna do this every Sunday,
seven pm Easter. You're gonna get some discipline, some digital
discipline about this show. We're gonna get the YouTube go
and please send a cash app if you can. If
you can, I understand it. But yeah, this is how
it has to be. Guys going to start. I hope
you do. After we do the town hall on March thirtieth.

(36:05):
You know, I love getting a good highlight reel when
people get out of it what they got out of it.
To have the evidence and the receipts, because we can't
just be talking just to talk. Cliff gott to have
the receipts. So once we do that and people see
what they were able to get with it, you know,
to get from it, then we'll start the virtual. I'm
excited about the virtual because even if I got ten
or fifteen people showing up, the show goes on. I
can't do that. For those of y'all say, oh man,

(36:26):
I can't wait for you to come to DC. I
can't wait for you to come to this. I can't
wait you to come to that. It's really hard to
come to these locations because you always want to have
a good group of people, you know, they can patronize
the business. You want to make sure bank CAD's not
open up on Sundays, so they're opening up for us.
So we want to make sure we got one hundred
plus people in there that you know, get a drink
or taste the food or something. I'm giving y'all real

(36:49):
deal organizing, you know, So please come with twenty dollars
to spend you know, try the nuggets. Try to they're
preparing you know, a you know all menu. Don't just
assume oh tip and Killer Mike got it. No, it
costs money to run a restaurant. Restaurant is one of
the hardest business runs, the least profitable, and the quickest

(37:12):
to go out of business.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yeah, And they fought a lot to get that open
over there in that area because they're trying to regentify
that area. So they fall a lot. Shout out to
the mayor's office that made that happen. So definitely come
to the town. So I can't do that in every city, guys,
because it just requires a lot. You know when people say,
well you can just come to this building. No, it's
not about me come to a building. If I do

(37:35):
a live event, we want every We want several sectors
to win, you know. We want to have vendors and
have some stuff to sell or promote. We want to
have a business that's gaining something from it. We want
to have some talent. Like when somebody said, who needs music?
I love music, Dana. I love music. That's how I heal.
I heal through music. It makes me feel good. I
am a music lover. So it's great to have a

(37:57):
community conversation. But after that, yes, I love music is
very important to my soul, and so that's how that's
how I find balance. But I do get your point.
But I can't just come to a city just to
sit up and look at y'all in the room. If
I come to a city, we want to make sure
you know that that event is blessing several people. The
comedians get something in their pocket, the DJ gets something

(38:17):
in their pocket, a restaurant gets something they pop. You know,
those are the things to me that make it fruitful.
If not, we can just go virtual, you know, and
go online and twenty people can show up, and that's
enough for me. You know, twenty twenty five people on
twiny turn of five people show up, that's enough for me.
So that's how that's gonna be, guys, because I just can't.
I thought I could really do this tour, but I've learned.
Even as much love as Atlanta has for me, it

(38:39):
literally took ninety days I started marketing ninety days ago
to get this room packed and we are two weeks out.
So it takes a lot of work. And that's why
a lot of people get in this and then get
out of it because once you start seeing how you
know how rigorous it is. Y'all hear me going lie

(39:00):
every day. Every day I'm talking about town Hall, I'm
talking about the town holl I'm talking about town Hall,
I'm asking for donation. I'm doing it like it is
a constant grind. So I don't want to do that
and then have to cancel an event. Like somebody asks
you coming to Houston. No, I can't come to Houston.
The response wasn't the end. The interest, I would say,
wasn't big enough. And it's sad because Houston is the
fourth largest city in the country. So I have to

(39:23):
open up virtual so they cousins from wherever you know,
can be a part of the conversation and we go
from there.

Speaker 6 (39:31):
Okay, guys, so this will be available on straight Shot,
no Chaser.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
We need you in the digital discipline. The digital discipline, guys.
Everybody always talking about when jord Reid lost a show.
Oh my god, they put jord Reid up. Well, you
gotta be watching it. Yes, it was more than just viewership,
but viewers matter, guys, Viewers matter. So that's in MISSNBC

(40:03):
with Dwight. Folks, this is just us. So I'm asking
you to support conservatives. They got it down and again
I'm my heart things liberal, I'm an independent conservatives digital
dif y'all wonder how Trump took over. They listen to
podcast They listen to am radio all the way to work,
all the AM stations that I'm talking about, the on

(40:26):
the Dial not series and all that, all the AM
stations conservatives talk. They listen on their hour and a
half way to work.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
When they get to work, they listening on the podcasts.
They literally Marcella's Don't miss a podcast. They listen to
the podcast. They sitting up with their headphones while you
sitting over there listening to whatever and all of that.
They listening to podcasts information constant. Seventy percent of podcast
listeners are white. Then when they go home, they back
on talk radio. Then when they get home, they watching

(40:57):
Fox News. Then when they scrolling at night, they on
social media. Then they on YouTube. Y'all know. When I
have sent conservatives, they make twenty videos about me at
best yep. Only had one person on the independent side
that made a video on my defense. And I'm not

(41:17):
saying I need the fit because I don't need no fan.
I'm just saying, y'all should get money off of me,
like they give money off me because they damn show
did did they not? Marcill? They made all the videos
sixty thousand views, fifty thousand view. Somebody should try to
support me and give money off me too, so I
can bring you into the fold. See they make them
videos waiting on me to response. I'll never I wish

(41:37):
I would. But are you on our side of the table.
Oh yeah, come on, come on to the show, so
we can promote your video. You got direct access. Not
one of y'all to take these do for self people
that talk about digital. Not one of them that's taking
upon themselves and say, you know what, I'm gonna start
getting some content and I'm gonna follow your content. Don't

(41:58):
feel bad, y'all put a three in the chatter. Make
dog don't feel bad. We gotta get after the I
don't want to be begging. I don't want to seem
like I'm kissing ass. I don't want to seem like no, y'all.
This is this is how concerned it took over there
the minority in this country. But they don't care about
looking like no cloud chasing. They don't care about looking
like no no. They say no, i'ma no, I'm gonna

(42:18):
chase it. And because they do that, because they do that,
they message ghost further.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Mm hm.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
So we got to get in the mindset of how
do we have the digital discipline black podcast network. Whether
you like Charlet Mane or not, I don't like them.
On most days, that's fine. I like it nobody. This
is about him having a vision to have a black
to have a relationship with. iHeart to say, give the
black folks a corner of the room. Fifteen creators and

(42:52):
I was one of the first. So if we're not
subscribing to the podcast and then it's time to re
up the deal. We got one billion views, by the way,
like that podcasts network, all of us can bind. That's
called what Yeah, all of us can bind a billion views.
So now they take that and say, here's a billion

(43:13):
views advertising. What you're gonna do with it? Charlemagne was wise,
y'all say what y'all want to say. But there was
another podcast person that's all that he that he rivals with,
that started his network and we ain't heard nothing from it. Sense,
So y'all can say what y'all want to say, But
Charlemagne figured it out. Let me partner with our heart,
the largest audio platform in the world. Let me get

(43:36):
these fifteen create fifteen to twenty creators. Let me add
the Breakfast Club to the feed. That's why sometimes you
subscribe to Breakfast Club podcast. You'll see my stuff a
couple times a year. They dropped my episodes in the
Breakfast Club feed to boost my numbers up. So all
of that, that's that's called shocking in real time. How

(43:57):
do we combine because it's about the numbers. At the
end of the day, I got my two million to
listen a year. Somebody else the bigger shows of Horrible
Decisions and Up with Smoke and Drink, all of them.
You know, they get million a month, so they add
they to a twelve million they add y'all see what
I'm saying. That type of mindset. So those who sit

(44:19):
up and talk shit about everybody on YouTube and all
he did, you better figure out how to partner with
some damn body, because that's a lot of y'all problems.
Sitting up here by y'allself, on an island by yourself.
You better figure out how to partner with somebody. That's
how you're gonna survive this bunker down season. Partner with me,
my regulars in the building, Sylvia, all of y'all. Hey,

(44:40):
y'all got a business. I can't promise bringing on a
million of folks, but I can share it, you know,
I can try to do something. Partner with people. Don't
let your pride stop you, you know, from not building
good relationship, because that is one thing that the degree
can't do for you, that the skill can't do for you,

(45:02):
building a relationship. That's it. So guys, please subscribe to
the podcast. Ask five people to subscribe. Shout out to
the people that's watching on YouTube. Shout out to the
people that's watching on Instagram. Guys. I need y'all to
watch on Instagram. I need y'all to share this. We
need watch hours. We gotta build the channel. We gotta

(45:22):
fight two algorithms. So I'm gonna do my part. Marcel's
and Cliff gonna stay on me, especially for ourselves. Make
sure we go live Sunday. May make sure we get
because if I ain't, if I don't a lot of
times I'm traveling, guys, But if I don't have the
discipline to do it every week, then you're not gonna
know where to find me every week. So I owe
that commitment to you. So two shows every week, one

(45:45):
live one and I want to bring y'all in, and
then two you know, the regular ones that I just
go through the news that I'll have that drop the
debat of on Thursday. So thank you guys. If you
didn't send a cash opt, thank you so much. If
you can send one now, please do. If you can't,
I get it. I understand. It's whatever you can do
to help. Thank you, Marcellus, Thank you, Cliff. Y'all got
any closing words, We're forty eight minutes in. I want

(46:06):
to try to keep this between thirty thirty and forty
five minutes every week so that we're not using a
whole bunch of time. But if y'all got any closing thoughts,
all shut up.

Speaker 5 (46:14):
I'll just say, and it just encourage everybody to stay woke.
Don't let them, you know, take our to take our meaning.
You know, they always trying to take our words and
misappropriate them and change them.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Don't have anything to do with what it has to
do with.

Speaker 5 (46:25):
Stay woke, Stay elevated, stay, keep your eyes open, and
you know, a band together.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Stag it up. I agree with what he said, and
also I say degrees matter and skills matter too. This
is a pact you said. You can't separating both of
them matter.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
All of them matter. Thank you so much, the people
in the comments and the cold thank you for telling
people to hit the like button. We need that people
to We need that too, you know, we need people
in the comments saying, hey, y'all, hit the light button.
Hey y'all do that, y'all. We got to be out
of this like to think I can't do it all
by myself. Straight up, I can't do it by myself.
I know everybody else to do it. The magical Negro
can do it boy itself. The ones that think they

(47:06):
are the program, the ones that think, oh no, I'm
gonna be fine because I got a degree. All know,
I'm gonna be fine because I got skills, because I
got this.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
That not me.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
I'm not the man. I'm a regular Negro. Shout out
to the regular negroes in the building. If you are
a regular Negro that understand that you ain't bigger than
the program, that the program is for all of us.
Put a three in the chat. If you once had
it and you got it back again and you're gonna
get it again, put a three in the chat. If
you know what it means to lose everything and still

(47:33):
start over, put a three in the chat. If you
know what it means to be on your knees and
not know where to turn, and God still bless you,
put a three in the chat. If you know that
I'm not the magical Negro, but my God controls it all.
Put it in that. If you understand that, yes, although
we are preparing, also understand that we have been touched,

(47:56):
we have been anointed. God got our back. You're gonna
get the inspiration. This ain't about just making you feel bad.
I'm gonna give you the inspiration, but I want you
to be prepared. The magical negro things that thinks that
they are are above it all. And I've seen it
on all time. From the degreed person. Oh I got
plenty money, I got relationship. They ain't bigger in the program, Cliff, Yeah,

(48:18):
the hood in the street from selling dope. Oh, all
I gotta do is just do this and stay around
this corner and do this and do that. And I
ain't gotta worry about it, and I ain't gonna get caught. Oh,
they got something for you. See. I want you all
to know that this race to the bottom, this thing
that they're doing, guys, they're trying to get those who
are destitute for real to go back and pick that
sack up. This is crime Bill two point oh on stereos,

(48:41):
thirteenth Amendment on steroids, because they know that not everybody
gonna be by like Marcel's to say, well, let me
just go do door dash, let me just go overeat,
let me just like I do. Let me go substitute
teach for seventy five dollars a day. Everybody ain't gonna
do that. Some people just gonna go ahead and sell dope.
And they got something for your asses. All the thirteenth Amendment, y'all,

(49:03):
this is real. They they understand the science, they understand
the behavior. So for those of y'all laughing at the
black middle class that's been holding black folks down, I mean,
as a whole, you better be putting your arms around
the black middle class too. Don't shut them out, put
that resentment to the side that you got for your cousin,

(49:23):
because that cousin has been the one that's giving Big
Mama one hundred dollars, giving such and such two hundred dollars,
giving whatever, letting you put in an apartment in their
name because you can't because you got a record or
whatever going on. We got to start having some real conversations, y'all.
And the people that's been nice to you in your family,
treat them right, because we get tired of that too.
I get tired of being taken for granted. Talk too crazy,

(49:46):
kind is taken for weakness, unappreciated.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
Speak my life.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Oh yeah, I'm tired of it. I'm telling y'all a
real deal. You just assume I'm gonna always do.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Better.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Pray that resentment out, that guilt, that envy, that that trauma.
We have got to walk this line together. A lot
of these people on this YouTube. While y'all we're gonna
be all right, we'll tell the people how they're gonna
be all right, Yes, and we're gonna be all right. No,
we ain't gonna be all right, Marcella. We're not giving

(50:22):
the timphs on how to be all right. Yeah, And
I ain't talking about policy. You know what we need
people running in mid tims and all over to come whatever.
We Yeah, we're gonna get to that. I'm talking about
April first though next year you have that. I'm talking
about right now. People need to know, and a lot
of people like they like tells them things because I

(50:44):
just don't know. I just don't know where to start.
Most people just feel like, what can I what small
thing can I do? So that's what we are with it. Anyway, guys,
thank y'all so much. We'll see y'all next Sunday for
the show piece and blessings to everybody. Thank y'all for
