(00:00):
What's going on? It's your boy Dwan Burino from Not Just Music Podcast. Thank you for

(00:04):
joining us another week. Let's go.
All right, everybody. Hello. Hello. Hello. Dwan Burino, Quincy Murdoch, Not Just Music
Podcast. Another homosode, another tap in with you good people to talk for a little
minute. Didn't come to stay long. So catch hold to this really early. How's everything

(00:28):
going on your side? Yes, sir.
Hey, man. Um, blessed to have another episode. It's like we've been doing this for a minute,
man. We got to talk about that. We've been doing it for a minute. Um, you know, it's
a blessing, man. Uh, growth, for one. Um, you know, just as black men, you know what

(00:55):
I mean? Just growing, not just in front of your eyes, but like in personal, our personal
lives and you know, whatever, whatever that is, like health, wealth, um, you know, education,
what we've been preaching, um, you know, just just positivity. My your mind should change
as you get older, you know, for the better. So, um, everything good on this end. I know

(01:20):
that was a long answer, but yeah, how you doing, sir?
You know, you're good, man. I'm good. Everything's great here. I want to answer a question before
I get going with if those that are podcasters, if you really want to do something like this,

(01:47):
it's not a thing for ease, but it can be easy. It's easy to, it's easy to do it, but then
it's not easy to do it. It's a lot that goes along in it. I just want to answer that question
again because it's not, if you could just understand like the time that it takes, it

(02:13):
may be different, you know, um, if you're like one of those people that had that, if
you have that, that bank where you can pay somebody to do this for you, shoot you, go
for it. Go for it. Um, but if you're just like a, if you just like, you know, if you

(02:34):
don't like have a funds to like do something that's like really exclusive, like, I mean,
it's going to take some time. It's going to take, it's going to take you some good time
to get there. Um, but don't, don't let that discourage you from getting there because
there's a lot of tools to help you get there. You know, you just got to be willing to put

(02:54):
in that little bit of effort daily to make it be so, um, I think sometimes it's, it's
easy and then some days I think like it's hard, um, saying that everything is done in
house here for not just music, but it's, it's still the case of you find a rhythm, you find

(03:15):
a groove to get there. Um, that really is more what you should go for, create, you know,
create your own thing. You know, like, I mean, create your own atmosphere if you can, you
know, it's like, that's what you really want to do. I mean, this is what you really want
to do. Like really, that's, that's take your, take your biggest jump shots with it. Um,

(03:37):
the thing is really understand the audio, um, make sure it ain't too loud, distorted.
Um, there are a lot of things that people don't know about that part just due to, uh,
understanding audio and how loud things are. Um, what really is more perceiving of how
loud things are. You hear what you're recording before you actually put it out. Um, I say

(04:03):
a lot of times I'm gonna pull this app up again, which a lot of people don't utilize
it, but, uh, it's a voice, voice, voice, voice memos out on Apple phone. And I forget what
it's called. Um, there are a few apps you can download on Android as well, which do

(04:25):
the same exact thing. Um, basically just want to get something that records audio. But if
you go on voice memos and you record on the voice memos, these are one of, this probably
is one of the best apps you can record audio onto and share audio from. So you can actually
record a podcast directly onto your phone and edit out all the parts that you don't

(04:48):
want. You know, you can move them around in it. If it's parts you, you can, like I said,
you can really edit it and then put out the part that you, the parts that you do want.
And, you know, it still be of quality, um, just due to the voice memo app actually understands
good and what decency is and how loud things are. If it's distorting or anything like that.

(05:12):
So you don't really have to like, you know, you have to pay attention, but you know, like
if me holding it's simple, though, it's simple. It's simple. I shot, I shot a short film,
Quincy Murdaugh, my struggles, the short film using all voice memos, you know, the audio.
So, and it was clear. So yeah.
But people take the, if you take the, take it, you know, you can say, you don't have

(05:33):
to hold it like super close. Like where I'm holding it now is like a good distance and
just speak clearly. Um, try not to have a whole lot of background noise going on, like
things turned on or like dog barking, kids screaming and yelling, you know, find a quiet
space. You can at least get decent audio recorded. And like I say, that's, that's a podcast.

(05:54):
The video part is really up to you, but just remember the podcast. That's, that's audio.
That's the most important thing that you want when it comes to podcasts. And so don't let
the hype discourage you about all this video stuff. All this video stuff going to ring
y'all in the ground. If you got, if you don't understand how to, you know, efficiently run

(06:18):
computers and understand files and what files you need, what files you don't need. A lot
of that plays into the video situation because video files can get very big and very demanding
and you can lose space and it gets very expensive. So just remember that part, you know, don't
concentrate on just the video immediately. If you can get somebody to help you with it,

(06:39):
get somebody to help you with it, pay for it, get it done. You know, if you have that, that,
that type of budget, but if you don't, and you want to do it by yourself, just remember
it's going to take some time. It's going to take some energy and it's going to take some
space. And I always also want to say that like, boy, somebody listen to you, your voice,
just voice is important too. That means you're saying something, you know, that people want

(07:01):
to hear, you know, you just send me the numbers we got, just audio and, and, and they, and
they growing, you know what I'm saying? You know, just in 30 days. So, um, it's more about,
like you say, what you're saying, you know, with podcasts and, you know, you want people
to listen to what you're saying, you know, and take in what you, what you talking about,

(07:23):
especially what we talking about, you know, our, our agenda and what we pushing, you know.
So yeah, the audio is the most important I feel now that I'm growing and realizing, you
know, cause there ain't no point of putting it out of there. You know, we're talking,
this podcast and it's talking, you feel me? So they're not listening to what you're saying.

(07:44):
It's like we wasting our time anyway. You know what I'm saying?
So if, if, if nothing that it, what I'm trying to finish doing now is, is, is I need an extra
level of help when it comes to like saying what to do next, as far as like, um, content

(08:08):
and how to release content. The biggest thing I'm going to do now, um, more is take advantage
of everything that is recorded. Um, one reason being, um, it's endless opportunities to getting
people to connect. Um, it really is an up and down thing when it comes to, you know,

(08:34):
releasing things and what things to release. Um, but the biggest thing is having the option
to give back to people to where it's, it's a situation where, where can I get it? You
want to, I want to put everything in one spot. Of course, yes. But at the same time, video
is video, audio is audio. Um, and that kind of answers that question as well goes along

(08:59):
with that question as well, um, about the homesoles and stuff like that. They wondered
if, you know, can you release those as audio as well? Yeah. I can really sell the audio
as well. If it's a thing that you feel that people, you know, people want to hear, I mean,
it's definitely a thing of making an opportunity in their option available. It's, it's an extra

(09:20):
question. I had to, man, that's an extra, it's, it's an extra step. You know, it's an
extra step. I was on Apple, I was on Apple music, not Apple music, but a podcast, Apple
podcast. And I was looking for the homesoles of ours, not just music podcasts. And I ain't
seen. Yeah. That's a good, that's a good, that's a good, yeah. That's a good, um, a
little, little suggestion. Yeah. Yeah. I never, I never went that, that far with them just

(09:45):
because it was on internet based, internet based audio is kind of, kind of sketchy at
times, but it's, it's, you know, if it's a thing that I could do, I could try to get
the best of audio out of it. If nothing else, um, uh, just due to, to technology. Um, but

(10:07):
people should, people will understand that it's still a home. So it's not like, I say,
it's not like a studio based audio where you, where you catching it, you know, 24 K, you
know, 24 Hertz, you catching that, that, that wide open audio, raw audio going into microphones,
even though we are speaking into mics, it's still going across the internet waves, but

(10:29):
that's just telling you what the technical difficulties are with talking about releasing
homesoles as audio, but it's definitely a thing of, I can definitely push it to be.
So I don't want to say it's not going to be, it can be, and I feel, you know, if it's any,
any bad parts, you know, and within that audio, um, I could take in or leave in or take out,

(10:51):
you know, but understanding that home souls really are more so video based just because
we have that option blessed, blessed enough to have that option. Um, God gave us, gives
us more than we need sometimes. And that's one thing I feel like, you know, even with
being podcast is like, I take the video stuff very seriously too. So I try to, you know,

(11:13):
to get a thing of that's an option, you know, option to have audio. Um, but yeah, I wanted
to say that, get that off my brain. Um, I don't know if you had anybody that you wanted
to talk about today, man, but I'm, I'm, I'm, I have a couple, but I don't want to go unless

(11:34):
you do you have anybody, I will never want to be jumping in Lee and it's like, just boy,
you're the lead. No, I want to hear, I want to, I want to learn some stuff too.
I mean, it really ain't no, no people in particular, man. We talked about a lot of people, just,
uh, you know, I think more, more things, you know, uh, now that I feel, um, you know, how

(12:01):
I want to share light on to the, the, the black individuals that's doing positive, you
know what I'm saying? It's, uh, you know, it's out there just trying to grind, trying
to do it, trying to make something out of nothing. Uh, yo, yo, yo, what's good. Sheboye

That's got a dream. That's chasing a dreams. That's, that's keep pushing. Um, you know,
and stuff like that. Uh, shout out to all the black podcasters. You know what I'm saying?
That's doing, doing what we do. Um, you know, I watch a couple podcast shows, um, not too

(13:37):
many you can really watch. Well, I can cause it seemed like it's just destruction, you
know, negativity, but a shout out to the ones that actually talking about something, man,
it's spreading knowledge and positivity, you know, when it's needed in a world like this.
Um, you know, shout out to, uh, I keep saying this name, Lisa Moser. Um, you know, I'm a

(14:01):
part of her campaign right now. Um, shout out to the young kids and young black kids
out there. This, uh, is really focused on, uh, their community and their, their future,
you know what I'm saying? Their upbringing. Cause in a time like this, you know, a lot
of kids don't even think about the next day. You know what I'm saying? A lot of people

(14:21):
don't even think about the future. So, uh, it's, it's good to see, you know, young black
kids, you know, um, considering and thinking about their future, you know, even when it's,
you know, 40, 50 year olds that really don't care no more, you know what I'm saying? So
for a black kid to, to care, that's, that's, that's deep. You know what I'm saying? So

(14:43):
shout out to them, man. Um, you know, the ones that's graduated, the college graduates
has graduated moving on to their next adventure. Shout out to them. Um, just stay focused.
But I just want to talk, I just wanted to throw that out there. Just the black people
now, man. Um, you know, shout out to the ones that's doing something, man. It ain't all

(15:05):
bad. All black ain't all bad. I just want to throw that out there. Just in particular,
I know we talk about the past, but I want to talk about the now.
Understanding that you want to talk about the now, nothing wrong with talking about
the now. That's, that's your, that's your expression towards what you feel. Um, nothing
wrong with that, but I don't bring up negative things. I speak on black history because the

(15:29):
case of the people of now don't understand much about the now due to the case of they
don't know history. Um, the things of, of speaking of history are for knowledge and
power, not for to bring negative light to any of us. Um,
I do want to say this though. Um, I do want to put this in there because I know, uh, this

(15:52):
was leading up to my point, um, what I meant, you know, uh, so, you know, the Olympics is
now, you know, the Olympics are taking place. Um, you know, you got your girl, uh, our girl
Simone, uh, the one that does the gym, the gymnastics, uh, you know, stuff like that.

(16:13):
She, she's killing, um, what's, what's, what's my girl from the track and field? Uh, yeah,
yeah, yeah. She's killing in the, in the, in the Olympics. Uh, it's a lot of black people
doing some positive things, but I want to bring up this one, um, black female, her name
is Vanetta Flowers, you know, cause it's the Olympics time, you know, it's around that

(16:36):
time. She was born October 29th, 1973 in Birmingham, Alabama is a black American Bob Sledder and
the first medallist, Melody, Melody, I think I said that right. Athlete from any country
to win a gold medal at a, okay. Flower was seven time NCAA all American and the 1996

(17:04):
MMPM relay long jump champion. She was a six time conference MVP. She also captioned a
UAB women's track and field team in 2002 at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake city. She
and Jill Bacon won the gold medal in the inaugural women's Olympic Bob Sled. She was a three

(17:25):
time us national champion in Bob Sled. She won the bronze medal at the 2004 world champions.
She was named one of the essence magazines, 50 most inspiring black Americans. So I just
wanted to bring that up. You know what I'm saying? Um, cause it's kind of like, you know

(17:45):
what I'm saying? Uh, I think, I think, uh, just, just black in general, um, you know,
when it comes to sports, uh, you know, um, if you look at who's dominating these sports
is black African-Americans mainly, uh, who, who people come to see who's pegging out these
stadiums and stuff like that are black African-Americans, you know? Um, and it goes back to, you know,

(18:12):
the slavery, how, how we talked about in the past, like, is it a shame, you know, that
about slaves and stuff like that. And I don't think it's a shame because, um, you know,
you got to think about it. Nobody really works harder. I don't think nobody works harder
than a black African-American. I really don't. If, like, if we put our minds to it, we, we

(18:36):
are the best hard working individuals. I think, you know what I'm saying? And that's, can't
nobody outdo it. That's history. That's history. Yeah. And sports and sports prove it. You
know what I'm saying? Sports prove it. So, uh, like they say, we, we always have that
mentality like this, like, like, like they say, the rent do, that's how we always approach

(19:01):
things. You know what I'm saying? A job we, we gonna, we gonna grind, you know, cause
we want to eat. We want to feed our kids. Uh, you know, that, that relay we gonna run
like our life is on the line. We don't want to finish last, you know, our football, you
know, basketball, I can name it. So anything that we do, we gonna put our best foot forward.

(19:22):
And I feel, you know, even the slaves back then, you know, they had to, to put their
best foot forward. You know what I'm saying? They were hard workers because they could
easily just quit. You know what I'm saying? You know, and just say, just kill me, just
sell me, you know, but I mean, that's in the DNA, man. And that's why I wanted to bring
that up. Cause we are some of the most hardworking race of people.

(19:46):
Definitely. I mean, that's just, I can say that's, that's DNA. That's, that's why I like
talking about historic stuff, man, because like all of the stuff we talk about is all
just displaying itself now, you know, it's, it's too many platforms of things to do and

(20:08):
be great at now. And people have lanes to do this stuff now. It's, it's amazing to say,
because you know, as you said, like somebody like Vanetta Flowers, like, you know, she's,
she's a, a, a more than a double athlete. She, I think she did more sports than that

(20:28):
when even when she was in high school. But even understanding that the greatness that
comes with being great at multiple sports and, you know, making a mark, you know, to
where people know your name and know who you are. And in a small sense, a lot of people
don't know who she is, but again, in a small sense to a big sense to go in into these sports

(20:54):
that, you know, like bobsled and people, people, especially Americans weren't known for being
black to do that, you know. So anything dealing with ice and hockey and, or ice skating, it
was rare to see somebody black in that, in that light. So, you know, Vanetta, she, like

(21:18):
I said, that's, that's a good one to pull in to speak on. But it's just like I said,
it goes to prove that, you know, history is, is made throughout the age, you know, some
stuff is, some stuff is, is pinnacle, but it's never spoken on. It's never spoke, it's
never said, nobody said anything about it. So you just want to bring it.

(21:40):
And it takes that, it takes people to break those barriers that they say black people
can't step into, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, like everybody was clowning
Beyonce about the, about the Chris, not the Christian, but the country album. But now
we have did it, you know, so once people break the boundaries and break the barriers of things,

(22:04):
then the outsiders are accepted and let us in. So it's always good to show proof, you
know, of these things, like, yeah, it's not just, it's not just for whites. It's not just
for whatever, we can do it too. So that was my main goal, the reason why I brought that
up. And plus it's Olympic time. It's the show, like it don't matter what, you can't be put

(22:27):
in a box unless you let people put you in a box, you know what I'm saying? Like, like
we talked about, you know, you can use your mind, you can go for places far, just using
your brain, be smart. You can get on the ice, you know what I'm saying? Do, do think baseball,
you know, soccer, all kinds of stuff, you know what I'm saying? Black president, will

(22:51):
rock, you feel me? Like history has been proven, you know what I'm saying? So nothing is impossible,
man, in 2024.
Yeah, I respect those that want to do more than just the basic sports. Of course, everybody
likes to glorify basketball and football, but again, there's more sports than just basketball

(23:14):
and football, you know, and understanding there's a, there's a world of sports is again,
go with your heart, go with what you love, you know, don't follow the, you don't have
to follow the hype, you know, because sometimes the hype can get you in trouble. So, you know,
don't, you don't have to follow the hype to be great. You can be great from just being
great, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But again, banana flowers, giving you flowers.

(23:39):
Of course, we don't take a long time with doing these, you know, we've talked enough
and understanding.
I stepped out on what you were supposed to be saying, bro.
Nah, you on that. I just want you to talk. I want you to talk. You gotta, you gotta be,
you know,
And I wanted to say this, and like I said, to clear the beginning up, I wasn't disowning

(24:01):
any black, you know what I'm saying, people that came before us and did important things.
What I was trying to do is, like I spoke in one of our previous episodes, you got to speak
life in the black. So, you know, I feel like people, the black community now that keeps
pushing the negative, it has to be somebody pushing the positive and showing the positive

(24:24):
and showing it, showing it. Otherwise, we would just fall from the wayside and just
fall for the negative. So, I mean, it's good to just, you know, shout out doing something
and doing something positive, man. You know, the ones that are like us and want to take
what, you know, our ancestors gave us and use it in the right way. So, shout out to

(24:45):
them.
All right. And shout out to the extraordinary people that have made history, who have done
something that is very pinnacle. As I say, I like to give people their flowers, meaning
a name and names and things of that nature. I like to call names out because in case of
it gives those names power. So, you know, to speak of being, you know, in people, you

(25:12):
know people, you know anybody that's made history, like, and can show for it. You know,
let's make it solid. You know, don't just send me something that ain't historical. I
want to see something that's big, you know. And as I'm saying, big is in saying that it's
got to be something that got you rich. It could be something within your city. It could

(25:33):
be something within your town. You know, you was the first person to get a black person
to get a neighborhood in this neighborhood. You were the first black person to open this
store here. You're the first black person. That's what I mean. You know, I had the first
black barbershop here. Oh, man, give me something like that. You know, give me something like
that. That's that's what I like though. I like those type of things because there's

(25:54):
so much stuff out here that black people have done that we do not know about. So, not just
music podcast. Dorn Brino, Quincy Murdoch in the building as always. And again, Vanetta
Flowers was the name we chose today. That was the topic. And we spoke on a few things
concerning releasing podcasts and being a podcaster, of course, and moving forward with

(26:21):
moving and taking a chance at releasing audio as homosol audio episodes as well.
Good suggestion. If it be the case, if it be, if it be, you will see audio in the near
days. If it hasn't became yet, don't hold me to it. But I pray that I can get that done.

(26:43):
If it be if it be guys, will we do? All right. Right. Again, subscribe to the website. Keep
on rocking with us. And that's all I got to say. All right. And we are out. What's going
on? It's your boy, Dorn Brino from Not Just Music Podcast. Make sure you stay tuned for
next week's episode. All right. Peace.
