Speaker 1 (00:00):
Listen, listen, listen, listen. Back in January, this man told
me a secret. He told me that he was my father.
But I told you not to tell nobody. Now you
telling the whole world.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
But you told me you didn't have anything to give me.
But so I just the only thing I had was
to tell the whole world.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Prayers going out to Chauncey Phillips right now.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Oh, they put him up front one day, put his
name up front. That's it, definitely.

Speaker 2 (00:40):

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah, they didn't give the names up in mafia. They
scared to get the name of the.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
They're gonna give those names out, those names, yea, those names.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
I'm feel sorry for him. I know he got caught
up in something, and uh, he didn't know he was
getting caught up any boy he knows now.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
It probably the smallest man there. But they used his
name up front. But I feel sorry for him.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, he got caught up in something he knows out
and everybody else knows now.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
So yeah, but you know and this is until proven guilty.
So it's ur you.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
In Detroit, it's all about money. What the preacher saying
that ain't a lying. I want you to get in
what the preachers say. That was mom myself that locked
the doors. You know what, But I'm gonna become a preacher.
I'm gonna become a bishop. Make me some real money.
I'm tired of telling these jokes. If you tell somethe
you know who the greatest committing in the world is
Joe lo O Stream. He will never start a summon
without what I gotta fund the story I want to

(01:26):
tell you and be blinking their eyes. So I'm going
in the wrong. I'm making a lot of money, but
I ain't making nigga bucks money. You know, these preachers
are getting there. I hate the preachers that take the
money from the little old black ladies. That's why I
hate tell them or you don't want to get into
this to you because this is really dad, Let's talk
about something else in Detroit.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Let's talk about the Fisher Theater and you this weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Says like I started to ask you, why was my
cab fare higher than my aff to get downtown. Can't
they move that they got at airport downtown off this
small city airport? Yeah, yeah, so this should make that
they had that in Hong Kong airport was right down
in the middle of the city. If you ever want
to at the old airport, uh huh. You get off
the airplane and the runway was in between seventy stories skyscrapers.

(02:06):
Somebody's out there old enough to remember this, and the
plane land right in the middle. And I said they
should do that everywhere. Either you hit the runway, you don't,
don't matter where it is.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Say, I'll be thinking, so you would like to have
basically the airport of Woodward Avenue and have the plane
just land right there.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
On other words, that's exactly what I said. You can
use Woodworth Avenue for a lot of things, like these marathons, y'all.
I got to stop shutting the whole city down. Let
them run around in a circle running, Let them run
around at the airport and do that night. Stop blocking
the whole city. I'm trying to go to church. I'm
trying to I'm in Atlanta, trying to get home, and
coin get home for two hours because they blocked the
road off and I got to go to the bathroom,
I got, I got to do everything, but they won't

(02:42):

stupid stuff, like when I got here last night, somebody
said it's raining outside. Duah, of course it's raining outside.
If you can't laugh in Detroit, you can't laugh anywhere.
That's one good thing about being here. And I haven't
been here in a long time since before COVID, and
I'm still living by some of the COVID rules COVID

(03:19):

plastic cups because if I don't want to do no dishes,
I'm using plastic balks. I'm doing a lot of things
that changed my life, because first of all, I like
