.
Yeah, mike is.
I'll answer your question first.
I think it has his levels withit all.

(01:15):
I think it is publicity.
You need a little bit of that.
I think it is a media stunt alittle bit, just because it does
Mike some good to make somemoney.
Jake to make some money, jake,paul to make some money.
Mike, like Mike is great and Ialso think that this is good for
people, for Mike, I think it'sgood for people with

(01:36):
entertainment.
Remember, mike Tyson was fearedand still is feared and still is
a fucking animal.
Nothing to he.
Still ain't nothing to fuckwith, still ain't nothing to
fuck with.
Because Jake said you know andthis is the point where I'm like
all right, jake, calm down,like you don't call Mike Tyson a
bitch or you don't say he hitlike a bitch.
I don't care how old he is, no,because I don't think that

(01:59):
nigga hit like a bitch underlike no circumstances, like not
even that you know, like so youdon't do that.
That's kind of what the pointof me is.
Like, man, that whole, thatwhole slap shit was staged.
I think it was staged, but Ithink it, uh, it most definitely
added some excitement.
It did got me.
I signed back up for netflix.
I'm watching this shit.

Tonight I will be choosingbetween a 13-0 Cavaliers team

(02:25):
and some preliminary fights.
Nah, the game should be over bythe time Jake and Mike go on.
I'm hoping, because I'm goingto be watching my Cavs and we
got to talk about them too.
They on fire.
But I don't know, man.
Just you know I'll be watching,that's the main point.
For sure, man, I think that thewhole fight itself is going to
be one entertaining.

(02:45):
Mike Tyson is a huge fuckingname.
Jake Paul is a huge name.
Legacy is being made on thelevel of entertainment.
Man, Roy Jones fought MikeTyson.

He said that nigga don't knowhow to play.

(03:08):
Man, he like the nigga's stillstrong, nigga's still fast,
nigga's still everything.
That's funny.
He said he don't know how toplay and he was like everybody
was so scared of Roy Jonesgetting hurt by Mike Tyson and
Mike was like nobody was scaredof, nobody was scared of I get
hurt, what about me?
This guy's tough, but it wasone of them.

His name is not Mike, theperson I want to be knocked out.
His name is not Mike Tyson Mike.

like that, having you know whatI'm saying, the people who you
don't know, who's sitting aroundyou, who don't mind when you
get a little crazy, fucking highfive.
Oh yeah, I mean.
That's one of the most purestways to make friends is like at

social events and shit.
Yeah, for sure, people willblend because of the music,
they'll blend because of thesport, they'll blend because of
that, all of that.

So Freedom Speakers, cleveland,ohio, 216.
I remember growing up Nostalgicmoment.
We used to walk From 71ststreet between Superior and St
Clair and go up to 55th and eatbreakfast at Landmarks.

(27:59):
Oh shit, landmarks used to openup at like 435.
Some people would be alreadyoutside.

Landmarks used to open up atlike 435.
Some people would be alreadyoutside waiting.
I ain't been to Landmarks inlike a year Bruh, bruh, maybe
longer.
I ain't been to Landmarks inlike a decade.
I hope that motherfucker stillopen.

Now that I'm thinking about it,I'm going.
It's been like a year.

(28:20):
Maybe had some change man beento Landmark, maybe, and some
change man, but the landmark forsure.
So they were running out ofeggs.
They're like I'm running out ofeggs.
That was the thing when youdidn't egg we need more eggs but
a landmarks was was the spot wewould always go there.
Um, for euclid, when we stayedout euclid, we would go to
cortinas off of like 222 and youthat's the one, that's the

(28:41):
other one I was thinking about.
So you got maria's familyrestaurantina's right on Euclid
Avenue for breakfast and that'sreally what they.
You can go in there, maybe 10or 11, cause I don't think they
stayed open too long.
Yeah, they ain't stayed opentoo long, but you can go in
there and get like a hamburger,but you didn't go there for that
.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm trying to think it wasanother spot that did breakfast

gabes, on the west side.
Um, you know my Gabes on thewest side, right here, right on

Where Brooklyn at?
Well, yeah, we would go thereand eat too as well.
That would be another mom andpop spot that most definitely on
the breakfast side.
Now for lunch, I'm kind of likea little bit of everywhere.

(29:46):
My favorite spot that I used togo to on the west side, off of
Ridge and Brook Park, was inthat plaza called Luna's.
I used to love to go to Luna's,get their wings and eat and
we'd kick it.
Or a spot that was right down,which I think it was the
Cleveland Diner, the ClevelandCorn Beef Cup.

(30:08):
You right, that's what they wascalled.
You right, and we used to.
Then we'll be emotional eatingdays and nigga going there Like
I'm fucked up.

spot Hamburger, two large fries.
But listen, when you went therebecause you got me hip to that
spot, you and Nessa got me hipto that spot you would go there.
First of all, you're going toget to know somebody, because

(30:29):

Yeah, whether you sit in astand in there, it's tight.
You're going to have to sit bya stranger.
But it was good, bro, it wasgood.

Now, I don't know how all thetaxes and shit go when you're
selling and shit.
I don't know.
I don't know Closing costs.
I don't know Closing costs, butthe 5 M's for Sheetz, sheetz
taking over Sheetz is.
So Sheetz is another place togo to on a late night, that's
for sure.
Nigga, get you a little frozenfrappe, some shit, some Reese's
Cups.
I'm sorry, don, I didn't meanto put all your business out

(32:34):
there like that, but that's whatI heard.
But it's public knowledge.
If it's old, trust me, it'spublic knowledge, man.
So some other Clevelandrestaurants that are classic man
.
When I would grow up, my motherwould take us to Kim's Wings and
back when we was growing up itwas only one Kim's Wings
location Yep, on St Clair, yep,yep, yep, yep.

(32:54):
All down close to 152nd StClair, that would be the only
Kim's spot, and then we wouldget Open Pit, though, too Open
Pit.
What's the spot?
We would get Hot Sauce Williams.
I think they Angie's now.
Oh, really, yeah, I think theyAngie's now.
When I was a kid man, we washeavy on High Sauce Williams.
It was a location right onSuperior and Lakeview, like

(33:16):
right where they intersect.
That was a location right thereby the dentist's office.
We used to go to the dentistright there and it was a B&M's
location on 105.
Bruh we.
And it was a B&M's location on105.
Mm-hmm Bruh we.
Do walking distance.
Walk up there, get a look.
Oh my gosh, man, hold on theB&M's.
I believe on 105, I remember wasacross the street from like Lee

(33:38):
Memorial Church or like not toofar from Lee Memorial Church.
It's like every corner.
So I don't even know Especiallyon 105, it's like every corner.
Church liquor store, church,liquor store, the mailbox Church
, yeah, but yeah, man, we wouldgo to B&M's Because you can go
up, yale, like the little Yale,and hit it, man, because when we

(33:59):
would come up from 71st thatwould be to take Yale down the
little street.
Yeah, you hit it straightthrough Boop, right there see
the church, so there see thechurch.
Um, so I'm trying to think whatelse was it?
It was another open pit on like124th and saint claire I.
I remember, man, I don't know ifthis was official business or
what it's like an abandoned gasstation, kind of adjacent to

(34:19):
that bnm, and in the summertime,man, it'd just be hella dudes
over there with big ass barrelpitch just selling ribs and
chicken and rib tips and allkind of shit.
Just at the abandoned gasstation, like ain't no pumps,
niggas pumping out these wingsyou know what I'm saying but

(34:41):
just smoking shit.
Aluminum foil and grills, hey,but niggas eating.
And you just pull up like yougetting gay, gay, but you're
getting some food.
Yo, no name, no, nothing.
The gas station, just gray.
Shout out to the creatives thatmade shit like that happen, man
.
Shout out to them I don't knowif that was B&M doing that, I
don't know if they had a permit,none of that shit, but it was

(35:03):
station to be functioning.
You know, black people don'treally give a fuck about permits
.
Ain't too many police rollingthrough here and if they do, you
give them something to eat.
It's true, you want some ofthese ribs, you, on lunch break,
these ribs.
That's real shit Growing up.
I don't remember seeing too manypolice cars just patrolling.
I don't Not too many.

(35:23):
So I'll say this as I'mthinking about it now.
When I was a kid I rememberseeing you remember the Hot
Tamale man?
Yeah for sure.
So that was another thing whenthe Hot Tamale used to fuck.
At first he would come throughon the 114th.
He would pull up, pop the trunkon you and he had that station
wagon man.
We saw the Hot Tamale man.
He had like the mail truck.
He had a face on the side ofthe truck was orange.

(35:45):
Yeah, chuck was orange.
But I remember him comingthrough the neighborhood and the
police used to like not fuckwith him.
I want to say they fuck withhim.
But when he'd come through onsandy first sometime, first food
truck, nigga would the policewould stop him purposely but
then and give him some food orhe did cop something from him.
You know I'm saying or whatever,but I remember the hot tamale
man coming through and Iremember the police on sandy

(36:07):
first used to park there and getcatch the nigga truck and just
be like hey man, he ain't neverget stopped Like on some give
him a ticket, as far as we know,but like nigga, just they show
him love.
You know what it is?
Six tamales, bro.
Six tamales, there you go Me,give me and Jose, hey, hey man,
is that a?
And a grape soda, what theycall it Bribing, bribing,

(36:29):
bribing the police with tamales.
I mean, you know what?
I didn't know that police, ifthey go into like speedway
sheets or certain gas stationsand stuff like that, they get
free drinks.
Did I tell y'all a story when Ithought that shit was free when
I was a kid?
Mm-mm, mm-mm.
Self-serve was new.

(36:53):
They just got hot dogs and youcould just get the shit yourself
.
I thought at least atmcdonald's you had to ask for a
cup.
The cups just there straw.
I thought it was complimentary,so I thought it was all about I
might have told this story onthe show before man.
So I'm like 10.
We stopped there to get some gasover in Avon and I walk in like
nobody need hot dog and drinkman.

(37:14):
I walk out with a Mountain Dew,cold red slushy and two hot
dogs.
I get in the car.
My mama say where you get moneyfrom?
I said I ain't got no money.
She said you ain't paying forthat.
I just walked the fuck out.
Anybody stop you or nothing?

(37:35):
Not at all, not at all man.
And then rest in peace to Jayman, my mother's ex-husband.
He like, get this gas, get upout of here.
I was smashing shit out of mydogs, man, man, I just had to
get my brother, get your brother, a piece Tax.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, bro, tax, Ican't eat.
When I used to be driving a loton the road, man, I used to

(37:58):
stop at Speedway and get me likea piece of a hot dog or
whatever, and when the hot dogswouldn cooked all the way on the
grill, that'd be like rubbery.
Yeah, I gotta eat my hot dog.
It's up to you to judge if thisshit done or not.
Y'all don't boil these bitchesfirst.
Yeah, don't give me no boiledass, motherfucking hot dog, give
me the burnt one.
Then they got tamale.
It's been a long time since Iwent and got like a hot dog on

(38:22):
Speedway, but recently I theirlittle wings.
That was all right, that wasall right.
Best hot dog I done had ohPaul's for sure Was at the Hot
Dog Diner, and Parma as well.
Oh man, hot Dog Diner, the HotDog Diner.
You best to just eat your foodin there.
Yeah, because you're going tohave to use the bathroom.

(38:44):
But don't use the bathroom,don't you?
Under old management, bathroommight have been bad.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, not might have been.
I haven't been Under oldmanagement, the bathroom was
terrible.
So but keep in mind, okay, mostplaces where you go to go get
really good food especially likesome takeouts type shit you
can't even get the public usethe.
The public bathroom or thebathroom are already trash as

(39:05):
fuck, the location, disgusting.
So the food is most definitelyprobably good, but don't have
delivering some evil healthinspector coming, that
motherfucking.
You got germs floating aroundat 104 and they supposed to die
at 105.
But the hot dog down there,definitely good, man, I think
the last one, hey, they Spritewas.

(39:26):
You think McDonald's Sprite wasgood?
Nigga, they Sprite was.
Yeah, lock it in.
That shit was sharp.
You worked in fast food.
So you might know this.
I didn't know, like with thosecarbonated drinks, like that
with the machines, it's justlike a, it's just fluid.
It's like this motherfucker saySprite or like whatever the

(39:49):
fuck Sprite supposed to be.
So the thing is, the thing isthis it's about calibration.
So when you reload he took himback to them days I do how I go.
You know, when the coke run out, you got to know how to do it.
Only a few folks in there knewhow to do that shit.
You had to be one of themniggas.
Nobody.
You had to be one of them,niggas.
Nobody know how to work themotherfucking ice cream machine

(40:10):
or fix that bitch.
I happen to be one of themniggas.
You know what I'm saying.
I was very diverse in theMcDonald's man Shout out to
Bishop Road, but listen.
So when the pop comes, it comesin a box and it's a bag in the
box, almost like a box of wine.
Like the box of wine, like abag inside with a little nozzle.
It's of wine.
Like the box wine, like a baginside with a little nozzle.

(40:31):
Um, it's straight syrup.
You drink that shit, you'regonna die.
This is the syrup for sprite.
This is the syrup for coke, thesyrup for the high seed lava
burst, orange lava burst.
It's just syrup.
Don't drink that shit.
Yeah, do not drink that shit.
You pop the top off pop, hookit into the machine.
At our McDonald's the machinewas way in the back of the
building but of course the poptraveling through the ceiling,

(40:54):
30 feet of fucking tube and moreTwo RTA buses worth of distance
to the front of the store.
So then the calibration is likehow much water goes into the
syrup to give it the perfectbalance of Sprite?
Yeah, now, sometimes you wouldgo to McDonald's or Burger King

(41:15):
anywhere, say you get a Sprite.
You're like this shit weak,this shit flat.
The calibration is off.
It's too much water going intothe syrup, mcdonald's, I ain't
complaining, but it ain't enoughwater going into that shit.
That's why your shit woo, woothat Sprite, hitting boy, that's

(41:36):
that.
See, that Sprite.
I had some ice peas, god damn,you know.
But uh, but at the hot dog diner, nigga that shit, you had
jumper cable juice and that shit, they put fentanyl in.
They shit, man, that shit, thatshit, hip, nigga.
You know, I like how many gulpsof sprite can you take before
you, man, the way that spriteused to taste.

(41:59):
If I remember correctly, nigga,you only had had two or three
before you got like a second orthird degree burn on your
fucking throat.
Watch out, yeah, that that'sprobably was hot.
Well, that's probably was hotand it was good.
It was good, you know, not tothe point where it's like man,
this shit tastes like straightjust syrup, I know.
So it's about calibration whenit comes to the subtle shit.
Man, nigga, I did not know noneof that shit until, uh, maybe a

(42:24):
couple years ago, anessa brokeit down too.
We went somewhere to eat andshe took a little sip of the,
just a little sip, like let metaste it.
Oh no, it's flat, that's how Iwanted it at.
And you just kind of keep goingthrough and she was like oh no,
you got to hook the machine up,you got to do this and do that.
And I seen it when I used towork in a nursing home years ago
.
Shout, all healthcare employees, caregivers, stnas, lpns, home

(42:48):
health aides, rns, nurses,doctors, nurse practitioners,
all you people who started outfrom band-aids wiping ass to now
you writing prescriptions andall kinds of shit.
Look at you with your ink penyeah, slinging it.
But when I worked in a nursinghome in dietary and I seen them
hook up the pop machine, theroot beer machine, the ginger

(43:11):
ale machine.
I'm like this shit, it's justin a bag.
I didn't know like you got aname for it, but it's a flavor,
it's just a flavor and you couldprobably get it from GFS.
The GFSF truck, I think,delivered that shit.
So learning it now, I was likehey man that.
So learning it now, I was likehey man that right there made me
stop or slow down drinking pop.
Cause I'm like it's just, youcan go get a Dr Pepper and it

(43:34):

Man, that is a lot.
That's a lot of human body like, hey, nigga, you shouldn't be
that young and your shit notworking like you shouldn't.

(47:38):
You shouldn't be like that man.
But speaking of speaking ofworking man, um, one of the
things that we we talk aboutfreely here on permission to
speak freely podcast, is, youknow, family man, businessman,
entrepreneurship, and we alsotalk a lot about
self-improvement man, researchand development on ourselves,
our crabs, things that we arefinding ourselves that's coming

(48:01):
across, our desk man, what issome R&D that you working on now
?
Some research and development?
Tell me some things about youthat you're out about yourself.
Spending habits I don't want tosound like a broken record, but
that's like where I'm at.
That's been my base for likethe last like three months.
Like, let's get these, let'sget these finances where they

(48:21):
need to be.
You know I'm saying like andpeople be ashamed to say shit
like that.
You know I'm saying like, nigga, everybody ain't just got it
fucking going on.
You know I'm saying right,right, right, right.
So even no matter which taxbracket you is, nigga, you'll
find yourself in the, in thespot where you're like hey, wait
, hold tight, hold tight, let'sadjust a couple of things.

(48:43):
You know what I mean.
Let's stop doing this, let's domore of this or let's schedule
this.
You know what I'm saying familytime, time with the kids shit
costs money.
You know what I'm saying.
So my r&d over I say like sincefall hit, it's definitely been
in the structure of finances inmy home between my wife and I.
For sure they need to need tokeep the money organized, man,

(49:08):
because that for some people,man, in some households, money
start a lot of arguments.
Oh, yeah, money start a lot.
It's the number one cause ofdivorce is money, finances,
really?
Yeah, number one.
So it's not cheating, no.
The second one is sex, be itlack of sex or cheating, okay,
yeah.
What's the third?
You know the third?
I don't know.

(49:28):
Okay.
So, money and fucking.
Yeah, okay, money and fucking,whether you not fucking each
other or party one or party twofucking somebody else, and they
probably got some money.
Yeah, hopefully At least.
So I'll say that just a littlebit on my research and
development of myself.
Just, I'll say that just alittle bit on my research and

(49:49):
development of myself.
Just, you know, with myself I'mfinding information that I'm
giving, I'm pulling things frommy own relationship and I want
to pick up on something that yousaid a while back, man, and I'm
finding this on the researchand development, especially with
some of my bros, or just seeingkind of how the men who are
responding to us on the show andone is to you know, talk about
a few things.
Sure, they mentioned very muchwith you and I had to agree,

(50:10):
like man, it's for us being menconsciously like, hey, man, I
want to work on certain thingson myself, I want to be a better
this, a better that, so on andso forth.
We normally are placed in thecategory of like, hey, man, you,
uh, you a good dude, but youain't a good dude, you ain't
what she really want.
So when you had mentioned likehey, some of the women don't
want that guy that be on hisshit, compared to the guy that

(50:33):
is on his shit, he getting primepicking of whatever it is that
he won't.
So not being being on your shitand I and this is the research
and development that I found andI agree being on your shit make
put you negatively in a boxbecause you know your worth,
okay, you know, you know a levelof your worth of like, hey, man

(50:54):
, you can't make me feel likeyou know me or like you created
me.
So I've been finding myselfwith that of, like my bros,
having conversations about theladies that they talking to and
dealing with, and evenreminiscing about what myself,
what my woman of, nigga, I wasat one point in time, same shit,
trying to please, please,please, nigga.

(51:15):
I was at one point time, sameshit, trying to please, please,
please.
Then, when I seen like thisshit really wouldn't work and
she didn't really give a fuckabout, like the good guy, if you
will, knowing most niggas puton the good guy act yeah, keep
that in mind.
Freedom speakers, most men puton the good guy act because he
wants to start out as thegentleman he needs to start out
at the gentleman, depending oncertain caliber of woman that
he's dealing with.
But bringing it full circle,I've had to see with siblings

(51:39):
and family members and justpeople we counsel, like, hey,
you, you could you tell me allthe attributes this person got
and you love them.
But it's like, hey, it don'tmatter how great he is if he
isn't him for you.
Yeah, it don't matter what thefuck you do, yeah, it don't
matter what the fuck you do.
So I'm getting a seat at iflike, hey, man, this guy is this

(51:59):
, or this guy is that.
Or even on the other end of theman who didn't he didn't put it
, he didn't piece this selftogether.
And now he out here trying tolook and it's like, hey, he
can't get no woman because shecan't put no spell on him, so
she can't make him feel like,hey, she created this or gave
him this idea to bump him wherehe is.
So I'll tell you this for asecond man there's a nostalgic

(52:22):
woman coming to me.
It ain't really like supernostalgic not too long ago, but
me and nessa had a conversationin the car and it got a little
spicy, but it it led to she hityou.
No, no, not that time, not thattime, but it led to just a
question of do you who?

(52:42):
Who level who up?
He's like, hey, we, we together.
Like do you feel like?
You know, when we got together,I leveled you up or you level
me up, and she was like, yeah,we left with each other.
I'm like, no, oh shit, come on,man, it's not the fucking
question.
And when I mean level up is notjust taking you from one

(53:03):
location to the next, becausethat's just a tangible thing,
that's a material thing, butlevel you up of hey, this person
really changed your thinking.
This person really brought youinto a world or to something
that exercised your ability togrow and you not just feeling
stuck Like most people do.

(53:24):
Depression sets in when theydon't see an end to the trend
that they're in.
One more time, put the niggasin the back.
Depression sets in when youdon't see an end To the trend
that you're in.
Okay, to finish it out, freedomspeakers For the men Get you a
woman that's into you, my nigga,who likes what you do, who will

(53:47):
look clingy to you, who want tobe up under you.
Y'all gotta still make money,y'all gotta still Survive and do
that shit, but you gotta be inyour purpose for sure, for sure,
for sure for and I gotta knowto that about you know your
purpose, man, but get yousomebody that's into you, man.
One is is uh is a little easier, you know a little easier

(54:07):
somebody that's into you, youinto them, compared to, like you
said, you can lose yourselftrying to please a motherfucker.
So I say this as well, man.
One of the things that I'vewritten down for myself is I
need to be purpose-driven.
My partner needs to bepurpose-driven.
If one of us is getting upevery day on the level of

(54:31):
responsibility, handling shitand getting shit done, and the
other person just kind ofdragging their feet, I feel like
that's the definition ofcarrying somebody, that's the
definition of carrying hold on.
You're not even aware or evenwant to be a part of what's.
You know what's going on, man.
So I hear these things from mybros and they vent to me, and I

(54:51):
hear them from people who arethat counsel that I counsel of
that relationship shit, and Ipull from my own bro.
Like, hey, I didn't been inthat spot before.
Me and Nessie have beentogether 14 years and I've had a
previous relationship that Ipulled things from.
Of seeing like, hey, I can'tkeep doing that or I can't allow
that.
That's important too.
You know what I'm saying Forsure.

(55:12):
Keep doing that or I can'tallow that.
That's important too.
You know what I'm saying Forsure.
Just, but having a value formyself, learning, having a
purpose for myself andunderstanding like, hey,
correction is necessary, thatshit is necessary.
It might always feel good, butit is so.
Man, you're talking to yourwoman and you're trying to get
her to come on board and getshit understood of what you're
trying to do.

(55:32):
If she ain't cooperative, ifshe ain't compliant, maybe if
she can't see the purpose, ifshe, man, this is all of those
are flags to be like hey, man, Idon't really think you into me
like that or you ain't into this.
You know, I'm saying I can'texplain it to you any further
anymore.
Freedom speakers find yousomebody that give a fuck about

(55:55):
you.
Okay, that's down for yourpurpose, that's riding with you,
it's dip.
It's too difficult almost totry to have, try to convince
somebody.
You a good person, this late inthe game, like it's almost like
I'm no, I'm really, I'm real,I'm real.
Good man, cut you quick.
Question, chief, what's up?
How do you know Beginningstages of talking, dating?

(56:19):
You know, however you want toput it, how do you know when a
woman really cares about you?
The smallest, small examplethat can happen is something
where the light bulb may go offand you go Damn, she give a fuck
about me.
I would say, nigga.
Her adjusting her schedule,like adjusting her schedule to

(56:40):
be able to make time to see you,knowing how important her shit
is, just knowing how importantyours is, but her being able to
say hey, you know, I wanted tosee you.
Can I come to your job?
Like, oh yeah, shit, I'mworking late, can I, you know,
pull up on you?
Or I'm here at a place, and shejust like, hey, can I come to
where you are?

(57:01):
When you catch a woman huntingafter you, pursuing you, you,
you see that you feel that, morethan just see it, you feel it.
You like, hey, I don't want tobe like she at me, but she at me
.
And women don't be at niggasthat they don't like.
Yeah, like they, they don't.
They're not at women that theythey're not at.
Women are not at men that theydo not want and they don't have

(57:23):
something that that that theywant from him.
Okay, and if you a decentenough nigga and she like you
nigga, she a lot of herselfabout you.

She a lot of herself about you,but he really, like his wife,
