you took at the l L and put it in

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Okay, which all right, Now let's get into it.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
A Spill trends topic time the time of the episode
where we talk about all things that's trending in the culture.
This wasn't all my topic time, y'all, but I did
kind of want to add y'all opinions about it.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Ask y'all for y'all opinions about it.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
So there is a viral video of Pastor Marvin Sapp
doing one of his church services, insinuating that the ushers
closed the door doors of the church. You know, the
doors of the church be closed on prayer and some
offerings because at door my offering, aren't ushers.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Be in front of the door.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
But anyway, I don't know, But anyway, he was telling
the ushers to close the doors of the church, telling
the parishion put that.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Fred was aggressive.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
He said, I'm sicking, y'all close the doors. Y'all ain't
going nowhere but to the restaurants anyway. So he was
asking the one line of members and visitors and the
ones in the sanctuary to sow a twenty dollars seed
so that they can raise forty thousand dollars. Now, I
don't think. I don't see anything wrong with the seed.

(06:48):
I guess because I'm a tither and a sea sore.
So I'm good with that part. In twenty dollars, Let's
be honest, in twenty twenty five to put in church
ain't nothing that's literally trump change, especially when you're paying
all the three hundred dollars a week two weeks for ties.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Nigga, that twenty dollars ain't nothing. Ties me hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
But anyway, so I didn't think, you know, nothing was
wrong with him asking for the seed. However, when I
first watched the video, I was like, whoa. When he
was like closing door, I said, close the doors. Look
I watched not Carson Banks. Did y'all see that?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well? He said, oh, what are you talking to to?
And then he started letting the people in the church anyway,
letting him go out.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
But anyway, I don't see nothing wrong with the seed again, However,
the way that he talked to them, that was problematic
for me. You know what I'm saying now, I hate
that the video is out the way that it is
because I feel like people that don't go to church
and don't.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Believe in God, don't time, don't give offerings. That's what
I'm telling.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Their preachers just want all money.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
I'll just see, you know, literally literally, and so that
really disserves me.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
But anyway, what do y'all think about it?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Like we already started to start by selling his new
his friend was aggressive, but how how do you feel
about him?

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Mister w talk to us?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Was that the whole video exactly? Was that the whole video?

Speaker 5 (08:15):
And then like I say, we don't know if that
was the whole video, and what he said with the
money was going towards you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
That was my thing.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
So but like I said, you go on YouTube, everybody
got an opinion about what he said.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
You know what I'm about what he's at twenty dollars.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yah, yeah, what kraflow dollar about two or three years a.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Jet?

Speaker 1 (08:36):
I need you to saw a thousand, and I don't
know how much it.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
Was or private jet. Yeah yeah, yeah, but that's my
take on it.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
I don't know if thats the whole video and what
was the money going towards twenty dollars?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Come on now, yeah, even if it's like at this point,
it don't matter what it's going to it because I
feel like, if you believe in God, and you know,
I'm sawing this on good ground, Lord, I'm blessed. I'm
trusting you to bless me and star that thing up,
then you're gonna cut. Like we say, twenty dollars ain't nothing.
He was talking about the conference, you know, and so
I did kind of understand a little bit when he

(09:12):
was saying it'll be forty thousand dollars because they are
hosting a conference, which means they have several speakers that
gotta speak. They gotta pay, they gotta pay for the sound,
they gotta pay for the air, they gotta pay for They're.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
Gonna make their money back exactly. They're gonna make their
money back. And then another thing, if I'm not mistaken that.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
The text right off literally like because maybe we taxt
our season of our tie thing every year.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, d Sandra Blue against them Smith. What you think
about it?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, initially when I saw it, it rubbed me wrong
because of the way they you know, like no, don't
lock me nowhere?

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, in prison right.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
He's some of the board members.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
WoT I said, closed the door right now, somebody's gonna
push them down, push the head of trying to get out, right.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
That was my initial you know reaction, like Okay, I'm
gonna call the police. But when I saw you know,
twenty dollars, okay, yeah, just get him, you know, get
him dollars.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
You know, you don't know what.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
And then and then I was looking at some of
the comments where people were saying whatever the conference was,
you know that they were raising money for whatever, the
different situation. And then again like when Weezy said we
don't know what it was going towards what was this?
You know, where was the rest of the video. So
you really, this day and age with social media, you

(10:34):
have to take into account. Stuff gets clipped, you know,
stuff gets altered. You know, they can do any and
everything to videos. They can you know, they.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Edit take stuff out, stuff.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
That was him.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
He was like that, they just took that part out
of the entire service. Yeah, and they just you know,
clip took that part and put it out there. But
I agree with you because I was like that when
I first saw it, I was like, now, wait a minute,
never would have made someone to come, And they said,
never would have paid it when I said, I was hot, and.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Then the.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Meaning and I and like I said, my only thing,
the seed was not a problem for me. I did
feel like it was a bit aggressive the way that
he approached them. And then you know how the internet
just take it and it's the non believers, you know
what I'm saying that's running with it. Y'all feel that
y'all do this what they doing with In order to

(11:45):
operate a worship center, they gotta have money, Like when
Jesus was here back in the day, they was half
selling stuff given taking money to the temple, paying and
because that's the only way you can properly operate, you
know what I'm saying, a worship center.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
So yeah, pass the sap.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
If it would have been just a little nicer, you know,
they would have gave forty fifty dollars and then he
was saying, come on up, I want to see who
bringing their money up.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Come on up.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I was like, whoa, Yes, I watched the whole thing.
Like he literally said, come on up, I want to
see you give.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Me to watch.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
I wint onna come on. And if he told the preachers,
he said that twenty one for y'all. You know, I'm
gonna start off with a honey y'all, y'all.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Can give yeah all he cut up.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
So when he first started and the preachers was like
looking at him, But when he got to talking, they
you can see they little demeanor just changed a little bit.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know, I'm watching everything background.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
I want to see how the choir members just be
being in the choir sitting there looking like the men
got some nerves. So yeah, watch it's about three minutes.
It's about three and a half. Yeah, watch the little
three and a half.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Minutes of it. And we search did a little bit.
He went in. I said, ooh, okay, pass the sap.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
But again it's just the tone and the the what
how he projected it, like you could have been more kind,
you know, if the Holy Spirit told you to act
for c it's a way to say it, you know
what I'm saying. But you know, you know, then he
was like, closed the doors offering this worship time, this
worship time.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I was like, oh, I mean.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Because when you're when you're tithing or given offering, that
is a part of worship, so it is considered worship.
But it was just his approach in the way he was,
you know.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
So but I still like him would have made I
can't my.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Hairstylus he's an apostle when I go in there on Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, I'm gonna be, and I need you to tell
us I am, because I shown't want to know because
I meant to text it to my pastor.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
But he's had a lot going on. All right, let's
move on. That was a little bit off. But now
we're finna get into forty seven y'all. What the hell?
What is forty cent anyway?

Speaker 2 (13:43):
So the first thing I want to talk about is
the fact that one of one of our black heroes,
Jackie Robinson's army career, was white. From the White House's
web page. Now, because of forty seven Executive Order to
dismantle THEDI, apparently that includes all black history, especially if
it's on the White House page. Jackie Robinson is known

(14:03):
as the first black baseball player to break many bears
in the Major base Ball League for African Americans. We
know that, right, but people don't really know about his
time that he served in the United States Army. Matter
of fact, I remember learning about this too when I
was in element I think out of Branch brought this
up shout out in his branch. He was marshalled by
the bus driver. He was on the bus with all

(14:23):
the rest of the military people, and the white man
that was driving the bus allegedly marshaled him to go
to the back of the bus, and Jackie told you
lost your mind. I'm fighting for this country just like them.
Now were going to the same place too, No, I'm
not going nowhere. Well, the man got mad and college
sif going to the higher ups. They wrote Jackie Robinson up.

(14:44):
He was marshall to court to get trialed and fined
and all of that stuff. Get put out the army.
But he was acquitted all charges if the glove don't
finish the bus equipment. So he ended up, of course
being acquitted from all of the charges. However, the me
every fact that he made history in many ways. He
fought for this country and then he broke barriers as

(15:06):
the first black African American baseball player to do what
he did in the Major Baseball League. How do y'all
feel about forty seven in his crew just trying to
mess up our history in general?

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh, it's just so much I can say to this.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
We were like, Oh, I just I just it's it's
that's just that's just a whole disaster. I don't understand it.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
I do and I don't. I guess the part of
it that I that I do understand is the fact
that the history, that the history that you are trying
to erase includes.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
What your ancestors did. That part to us, To us, now,
is that really why he's trying to erase it?

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Like that's part of it, But then you're trying to
erase the greatness which all shines you and your ancestors
at the same time, the truth that part was.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
I look at it like this, the Internet his exposed
a lot of stuff, a whole lot of stuff.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
It's black. We did not know.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
Yep, true, yep, you know what I'm saying. I think
back when I was in school. You ain't seen a
lot of black qustory stuff in on social studies book.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
You've seen it, but it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
A light And if you had a black teacher, that's
really how you learned.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Because it really was.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
It was a headful of black stuff. And who were
the main ones they were talking about?

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Marla, Luther King, Rose Apart.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Harry and then even with the underground Railroad, they didn't
tell us that Harriet Tubman was popping them if they
wanted to go back, because y'all don't go back and
see so let me go ahead, put you in the ground.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Like they really wasn't telling us the history. The history.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
They told us what they wanted to. They didn't tell
us about uh Nat Turner.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
I'm saying we know that he literally let y'all know
somebody to play with all the slave masters. You know
what I'm saying?

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Like you know, like yes, Oklahoma, like.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
You I literally learned that when I was grown, y'all
like literally went to a black college. You learned about
this stuff. I'm like, are you kidding me? Elementary, junior,
high and high school, then took Civics, African American history,
American baby, that's American literally get watered down.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
This is a lot of stuff they're gonna water down. Yeah,
we started.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Right, yes, country music, country.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Stuff, you know, like it.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Ships still in black I'm talking about all of our
music everything, and we couldn't do nothing about it.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
I've seen you stuff on with Thomas Edison, He's stilling
stuff from all from the black and venders and stuff
like yeah to you, yes, yuy a lot more.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
And then even Benjamin Banneker like who my kids was
talking about the compass and the uh not, the encyclopedia,
the other one, the sort the with the max and stuff,
the almanac, and I'm like, a black man invented that,
you know what I'm saying, who now?

Speaker 1 (18:28):
You know? Like I literally be having So it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
I think in this time with this type of stuff
going on d e I specifically just black history in general,
I feel like it's imperative as parents, as educators, as
a community that we teach our kids and remind them
the real history of the country. If it was not
for black folks, there would not be an America. Every building,
every piece of dirt, white house.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Was built by black men.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
In the National Museum of African American history in DC,
they have like a little section of the first bricks
that were laid at the White House by black men,
that black men, you know what I'm saying. Like, but
it's our job, it's our duty as as black folk,
to make sure that we teach our kids this enriched history,

(19:20):
instill it in them, celebrate it because we've overcome, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
But because of them, we are us. We're able to do,
We're able to you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Even if the general the books don't have it, y'all
can erase it from the books, but you can't erase
it from our hearts. You can't erase it from our minds.
And as long as we're telling those stories and passing
it on the generations.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
It'll forever live.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, you just not say something about that, Miskay. Yeah,
I want to add anything to that seeming. You want
to say, somebody d I and what's crazy about that?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Here go there go? What that way? Ja? Yes?

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, that's crazy about that? Is
What people don't understand is wheel y'all get watched call
them that in that wheelchair. Okay, But here's the thing though,
What they don't realize is the I if it wasn't Forde, I,

(20:26):
who wouldn't You wouldn't have ramps for the wheelchair, that.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Part handy cap stalls in the bathroom.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yes, this is this goes beyond yeah black, this goes
beyond what they used to call it affirmative action, like
it's a whole, it's it's a The picture is so
much larger than that.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
And then it affected more whites than it did African
Americans because they were the ones that was running it
in most of these big federal and state buildings and companies.
They're the ones that's running the positions and the d
I websites and all of that.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
So, but that's what you.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Have to be informed before you stand up and start
running your mouth because it's just so much ignorance. They
get spewed and so many people hop on these bandwagons
and you know, co sign and put your two cents
in on stuff that's just that's stupid.

nothing to say. Now, in my opinion, they acted the
food first of all, your food. You're foolish to come
and I think that there's gonna be some repercussions behind

(23:06):
you coming to this black town and thinking it wasn't
not gonna happen. Well, the black people of the town,
the citizens went to the mayor, the shaff they called
a town, called for a town meaning and said, hey,
these people are coming in here. They're intimidating our people.
Our kids are scared to go to school, they're intimidating
the elderly is going to the store of the black
people can't even.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Go to their mailboxes. Like, what is going on?

Speaker 2 (23:28):
What are you all gonna do? Are there going to
be any consequences? What's gonna happen? What a mayor said, Well, now,
because they ain't doing nothing. They're using their freedom of
speech rights and their First Amendment to speaking their rock
to bare arms and they're doing Why he say that
baby the Nigro roles and Lincoln hate. They said, oh,

(23:49):
so that's what we're doing. So Ever, since February seventh,
they have gotten probably out thousands of negroes go one
to the schools, going to the stores, hospitals, making sure
the black folk protected. They got on their black all black,
got their pistols, got their ski mask on. I'm talking

(24:09):
about armed up baby walking to.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Kids in school.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
They said, let another one come to the city, since
they using, since y'all saying that they can do what
they do and nothing is happening, let another one come
to this city and feel like they can come and
try to intimidate us and be comfortable.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
To where we just gonna let them do. Now, this
is our town, this our city.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
We pay taxes, We're the reason why this city is
thriving the way that it is. So we're gonna protect
at any and all costs. So they was doing some
interviews and so one of the journalists were like, well,
why do you guys feel if you're feel like you're
not doing anything wrong, why do you all feel like
that you have to cover up or not show your faces.
And one of the men was like, because we have families.
He was like, we have families. We have people that

(24:48):
really have nine to five their own businesses here right,
He said, we have to do this because unlike people
that can just go show their bare face and bear
arms and I be penalized. If we go out and
do it, then they can affect our business, that can
affect our social economic status.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
You should have said some well, y'all don't say.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Their part cover you know, and you and you know
they covering it because they the ones over these big
businesses and we shopping with them every day and they
getting dollhine apartment.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
The part that part judges listen.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
So baby, those black back into black black black people said, baby,
it's black kids three months too.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
And that's what y'all trying to do.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Now. We finished show y'all what's gonna happen. We finished
show y'all how to use your freedom of expression and
your right to bare arms and all of this and that.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
So what do y'all think about that?

Speaker 2 (25:35):
I was so happy, y'all when I saw the interview
and I saw them people coming. They was walking the kids,
the school baby, helping some elderly people go in the stores.
I'm talking about standing at the guards of the grocery
stores in the wildmarketing them with just one on their hip,
one in their head, baby, read de women.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
You can see the last years through their little because.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
They had on thettle you know, the hijeeves and just
show you, baby, they had them on. You can see
the last I said, baby, gag Yeah, is loaded, locked
and loaded.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
So what do y'all think about that?

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Well, let me start by saying, hallelujah that.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Came together and then tell me because you know we
asked ooh we we we.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Can get on my nerves sometimes. So I'm glad to
hear that they came together and you know, bounded, you know,
banded together to something, you know, to come together to.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Protect the town.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
But I'm trying to figure out what happened in this
town for these neo Nazis to come through and and and.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
It's I think what happened was it is in Ohio,
and Ohio is a red state, and I honestly feel
like being and then it's one of the small it's
one of the majority black towns, you know, like uh,
Blake Lanier, remember before Lake Lanier in Georgia, that was
a black town that was one hundred percent black. But
the white people, just like they did Wall Street, they

(26:54):
flooded it out. Then the black people out of there
and flooded it out. But there was a black town
they killed them. Yeah that while they say people be
dying and them things, they say them people be hung them.
But yeah, it's it's one of the only it's not
a lot of majority black towns in the state of America,
and that's one that's well known for their like a
Wall Street, they got thriving businesses, a lot of black
owned businesses, and it's about eighty five percent African American.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
And yeah, they felt like, yeah, let's go.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's they're in our city, they're in our state, you know,
let's go show them what you know.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
I think it was a lot told.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Definitely was a lot told because.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
You look at it was a lot told for them
to go do that.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, like somebody had to pump their head up for
them braving up to.

Speaker 5 (27:38):
Look at me to you you know what I'm saying,
There was a lie.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
I'm still mad that they don't and we wasn't even
thought of lies.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
They did it because they knew, they knew nothing was
gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
Correct, that's the reason why why the white folks is
doing it, because they knew, like you know, feeding the
black babies to alligators and stuff.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Y'all heard about that.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
Oh they Oh man, what's the doctor? It was some
white doctor. He was performing on black women without like
novocaine and stuff like up in South South Carolina, North Carolina,
like years ago.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
They did it because they can get away with it.
That's all it was. They can get away with it.
They can get away with it. That's all it was.
They can get away with it.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
And like we was talking about that earlier, some experiences
I've been seeing just doing.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
What I feel like they can do whatever they want
to do.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
You know what I'm saying, They can't do that, but
now they gotta find other ways to do it. Yeah, yeah,
that's all it is. Mass conceleration.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
That's too much. I can't take it.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Well, I'm super proud of the black people in Lincoln Heights.
I feel like, like we said Smith, when black folk
come to death together, we really really can do some
damage positively.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Or negatively, which you have have you wanted, we got
it for you.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
The fact that the government who is contracted to serve
and protect that town did absolutely nothing to help them.
The mayor, whose responsibility is to make sure that the
city or the town is protected by enemies necessary, he
didn't feel like that they did anything wrong, then he.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Doing the mayor and then it knew it like town
and if you would have seen him, because that was
one thing that bothered me.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I was like, who voted for him? If they got majority,
you know what I'm saying. I'm like, even the because
I don't feel like you got to go to school
or you don't have to have no degree in politics
to be a politician. So I feel like any of them,
you know what I'm saying, a police officer, teacher, a
business owner, any of them could have done that, you
know what I'm saying. So I assume maybe that's just

(29:54):
all that they had to peak from. I don't know,
but anyway, the mere fact that he didn't do nothing
form baby them black folks said, My burning mac was,
I wish your mother would. The neo Nazis is gonna
mess around and find out.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
But anyway, I.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Pray in twenty twenty five, Lord, please don't ever put
me in those situations like that, Lord, because I just
wouldn't know what to do when I say, I even
tread lightly now with my interactions with other folks, you
know what I'm saying when no mall native people like,
I literally tread lightly because I don't know what my
response is gonna be or my reaction gonna be. And
I practice being proactive instead of reactive. But today's then

(30:35):
in time, there may be a reactive situation and I'll
just be like.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yes, please don't put me there.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Oh that reminds me. I'm sorry you could that reminds
me of and y'all, I just be so like my
child and my husband to tell you my brother could
even tell you my mom. I have always been a
black history, black movement. If it's something related to that, uh,

(31:01):
you know, Allida, So like I found the movie on Uh.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
I don't know if it was on Toby or what.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
But you remember the story of James Bird Junior, the
black man in jazzper Texas that got dragged to his death. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think white guys idiom they made a movie on that. Okay,
I have not seen it's called jazzper Texas.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
I think I heard it.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
And Lewis Gotson and John voy what it might.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
And I love Toby Hunting.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
It's either on Toby or I may have seen it
on Peacock.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
It's on one of them. I'm gonna look for it.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
So it's called Jazzer Texas and never reminds me of
that because when all of that happened, it's on Toby.
So when all of that happened, the Klan came to town.
You know, they had this big rally or whatever, and
our boy in it too, Bouking Woodbine because he h
he led the Black Panthers. So when the clan came

(32:04):
to town and called themselves gonna do a rally, the
Black Panthers came through and was demanding, you know, they
was gonna bear arms and you know they was gonna
do a rally in the town too. So it became
like this big you know, to do or whatever after
the man got directed it.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
So they kind of.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Reminded me of that because you know, they all came
together and you know, you ain't let the Klan come
that point say that they you know, they have freedom
of speech, freedom to.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Do, and and we came.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
They kind of reminded but this stuff has been going on.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
For since since they brought us over here on the time.
It just has left us be.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
And now they just you know, they just had the
laws to where it upholds.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, we was and and like you said, the
laws now it's like that's the their self defense.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Think about it, stand your ground that part there was
still doing walking red part because but it wasn't for
us because every standyard ground that a black person that's
been a part of.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
We didn't have to go to try out for it.
We didn't. We gotta go to court for it.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
And it's just like y'all know he removed the uh,
the law of the segregation. He removes it. Did you
know that, yes, weasy. He removes segregation. So if people
want to put white bathrooms, only white restaurants, only white.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
It's a white woman all.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Over the floor.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Man, that black woman said, I wish y'all, she said,
do it.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
I don't, won't please do it.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
She said, bad.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Babe, we're gonna go.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
We're gonna do all that part, piss all over them
that part.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Because listen, I said, now, wait a minute, he gonna say,
but anyway he said it, So yeah, black folk when
we get together, we can do us right. Protect yourselves
by all means necessary.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Make sure you're legal when you're doing that.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Don't gonna be here popping out, pulling the pistols out
there and registered.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Now though I don't think you got it, you don't
have to be licensed now to carry.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Nope, it's open carriage state Arkansas.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Wist. I learned open, but I thought went yeah, But
I thought open, that's gonna say.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
I thought we had to be concealed and registered.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Now I ain't gonna let us have the concealed.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
But ma'am, you don't have to be licens. It's long.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
It's as long as it's concealed. You can't just have
it out. You put it under something. But you ain't
gotta be licensed Arkansas.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Sis, that's something and that's probably why y'all remember the
white man that got killed.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
That was a hurry up at the airport.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Remember his house got raided last year sometime because they
thought he was buying guns and selling. He was, but
said yeah, they were saying rich had a lot of money.
He was like a CEO some for the natural for
Bill Clinton Airport, and he was he traveled to buy
guns from different places, and he had like a crazy
last name, like a like you know, a foreign last name.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
But anyway, he was buying guns.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
And the police, uh the Gun Task Force of America something,
they rady him and they killed him because of course
he was using self defense. He thought somebody was trying
to rob him because.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
He had They knew he had money and guns.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
His family sewing the state of Arkansas swing the Gun
Task for people said everything they did was illegal. They
come through and he was selling no guns. All his
guns were illegal and registered. Oh yeah, baby, they swing
for millions, wrong for death. Want all the guns back,
want all the money. They walked in and fixed the house.
Oh yeah, baby, his family taking them to the state
of Arkansas. Damn through there and the Gun task Yeah lord,

(35:48):
why we say we had Why we say that on
this thing that the black people? Baby, they be walking
around food with these pistols on their.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Said, uh, you would have had your uh person keeping
in your car purse. But you said because it's a mess. Hey,
he didn't give him too much goods.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
I'm talking about they goot it. Baby.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
When I say bold, so bold, I'm like, that's why
I be I tread lightly because I don't even want
that type of smoke. You you don't want it, but
I know I don't need it in my life, so
let me just do me.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
All right.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
So the last question is mainly for you Weezy, because
you de nine seem you can step in if you
want to, but I really want your input. The Divine
nine has been getting a lot of slack due to
the untimely death of the young HBCU undergraduate student at
Southern University after he allegedly died during a hazing reachual woe. Now,
I've gotten to the point that I let people think

(36:43):
what they want to think. You know what I'm saying
because people always guess something to say about Mason's. Oh yes,
the sorority fraternities, and you know they've been saying, we
never worship us, and so for the years for real
good they say, we straight the monic, we devil worship us.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
It's I know somebody on the media social right now, baby,
be trying to get everybody to the now stay sorority
in fraternity because your worship the devils us to busting.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Hell, Why don't because you worship.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
The devil and that stuff anyway, But you know, I'm
not gonna be arguing nothing. But anyway, somebody had did
a video in saying that this is proof that they
worship devils because this is sacrificial. Every time a line
comes out, somebody dies from every sorority in fraternity line.
It's called the station life, big fat Black lives and
white lives too. But anyway, mister Wyatt, now you know,

(37:28):
I spoke on the podcast a couple episodes ago, you know,
sending my condolences to his family, his friends, his peers,
the HBCU life as an HBCU alum D nine represented.
I just I know that that's pretty sad. However, that
does not represent the organizations. That's not you know, we
don't kill people. We don't worship the devils. You know,

(37:49):
we're not demonic. That's not sacrificial. But I spoke about
it being in a sorority, mister wi How do you
feel about it being in a fraternity.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
I hate that.

Speaker 5 (37:59):
Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, even though I'm a new
I hate that it happened because you know what I'm saying,
beyonest with you.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
They put it out on all ye turn his in surrow.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:08):
So yeah, I hate that it happened. I hate that
young man had to lose his life. And then the
three young men that they arrested, you don't know what's
going They probably try to make a jump out of them.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
Remember them boys down there and fam.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
You remember that a while ago.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
Yeah, it was a while ago. They made it up.
They sent like I think it was two.

Speaker 5 (38:30):
They got some prison time for it. Yo, they got
some prison time for you.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
And that's what they're doing because the guy they gave
him first degree murder and then a couple of the
other one man slaughter.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
We are the one that punched him in the chest.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Oh, they gave him manslaughter, gave him no I thought
it was first degree murdered, but I thought it was
like three other ones.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
It's two of them they gave man, I think two
of them.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
So it's the two they gave man started and then
the one that did it they and then they gonna
show him at his graduations and stuff.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
You've seen that video.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
They said if this is a young man that allegedly
killed Jalen Wilson, and he was baby, he was getting
it in, he was going baby stepping in the Swiss.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
I'm like, now, why would they You ain't got to
know all that. Just show his.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
Picture, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Well, this was before you know he was he was
you know, he graduated.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
So come about the dude they did it?

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yeah yeah, huh yeah he was alumni.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Yeah, so what did they beat him?

Speaker 1 (39:32):
They just said they punched him in the chest.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
It was one punch, so I'm assuming everybody got a punch,
but their punch just fatally killed him. And then his
family was just like he was tough, you know what
I'm saying. He was in a Southern University Bend. Y'all
know BAJBCU bands. You know they gonna work here they yep.
And they said that he had been through the most,
you know what I'm saying. But he was a strong kid.
He was an engineer major, real active on campus, smart,

(39:55):
on a Dean's list since he been there, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Just had a bright, bright future.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
And I just hate that it happen.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Yeah, I just hate that it happen.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
For real.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
I don't give a curves careful sigma q older yeah sorority.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
I just hate that happen.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
Yeah, yeah, I say, wait, the world running now, everybody
gonna make conting off of it. Yep.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
I'm talking about everybody.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
So then you.

Speaker 5 (40:23):
Heard about Boosie what he do was trying to do
a scholarship at his.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Oh he doing it. He's actually doing it. I saw
that on.

Speaker 5 (40:33):
But the family, Lord, you're reached out and said no, they.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Don't want him to do it. And it's honored because
you know Boosie from Bad.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
And Ruge and that's what Southern is.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
Scholarship.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
And Boosy said every concert he was gonna take proceeds
from the concerts and do a Jaalen Wilson's scholarship. Will
he gives somebody a band scholarship every year, uh, in
honor of him.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
But I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
The family said no, y'all. Now, y'all, ain't that dang
on mad? Now, come on, that's talking about Southern Native.
I'm just saying, and that's just love to me Like
that ain't nothing.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
I think they wanted. It was he should have reached
out to the family first.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Okay, Yeah, now that would have been the highercy.

Speaker 5 (41:12):
Yeah, reach out to the family first, we sit down,
talk about it. I think it wouldn't been no problem
if that would have happened.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
First, let me find that that the family, some of them, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
Because see they probably was thinking, you know, they thinking like, oh,
we can't take out They.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Like you're trying to make money off concern.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Don't jump anyway, especially when he go to bed rules
like October, and he made some of them cheap, like
the first so many days of the first something he
was I remember him saying, it's gonna be a discount
for some some some.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
I don't know if it was for Southern kids or
for what, but yeah, this sucks. I will.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
I guess I get the part of you want to
converse with us before you use our son's name out
of respect, you know what I'm saying. But to just
completely shoot it down, that's a problem for me. Like
if y'all want to present the scholarship on behalf of Boosy,
you know what I'm saying, say that, Or if y'all
wanted a percentage of a scholarship, you know what I'm saying,
say that, But to just shoot it down, you maybe

(42:13):
shooting down another kid's dream, you know what I'm saying,
to be in the band, or to be an engineering major,
or to want to.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Pledge oh listen.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Well, now y'all have a fraternity members of perspective. Did
y'all want to add anything? See you want to add
anything to that? As a.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
Imay, all right, we are now moving on to get
back to it to it.

Speaker 5 (42:39):
O.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
All right, we are back.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
I hope you all enjoyed those jazz tunes from the
Trap Giants Philly Moo and Quincy Q. Note Watson, We're
now moving on to our topic. Time spillers, before we
get started the teachers on spring break topic, we want
to shout out the late great mister Bobby Dell Daved.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
He was more than a custodian for us at Booker T.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Washington Elementary School, located in the South End section of
the city of Little Rock. But he was our friend.
He was our mister muscles. He had a heart of gold.
Mister Bobby went home to be with the Lord of
March nineteenth, a very very sad day for the Booker T.
Washington OG's smith. And I actually got to visit him
about six hours before he transitioned, and I just think

(43:26):
about every day how we literally had that conversation let's
just go tomorrow, and I was like, Nah, let's gone
go and so I'm so grateful that we were able
to go lay our eyes on him. Him and mister
Roosevelt baby two of a kind, Two of a kind.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
They keeping heaving.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Squeaky cleans and eating good cracking jokes. Mister Roosevelt pulling
Miss Bobby to the side to point at the women.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Oh he worked my nerve. Sady was the biggest player.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Now, mister Watt, did you know, No, mister Roosevelt was
like eighty one when he died. I wish I was
looking for that obituary, but yeah, he was in his
eighties when he died, and I didn't know mister Bobby
was just sixty four.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
I thought he was seven. He put the mic up
to you.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
I'm talking about Roosevelt moved until I mean, we saw him.
It was me and Burke that time. We saw him
two days before he died. But the way he was
moving and talking, you wouldn't have you know what I'm saying,
Like we knew.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
That cancer was bad, but he was just.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Steady, moving and talking and trying to crack Jim You
know how he talking And he's still trying to talk
and crack jokes. So rectal piece mister Bobby, he's definitely
going to be missed. Okay, so let's get into a
job back to forty seven as if I'm just stick.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Of talking about him.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
But anyway, we're gonna talk about forty seven in Dolge
and getting rid of the Department of Education.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
We're gonna talk about me. Men, the wrestling lady. Baby.
They Dodne gave her the secretary of Education position.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
That's just foolish, the meaning she overseas, she runs everything
that goes on in education. She went from a wrestler
to a teacher or to whatever. But anyway, for the
people in the back, the Department of Education is responsible
for providing federal funds for programs and education and overseeing
education's policy just in short, for example, funds like providing

(45:14):
kids with free lunch. You know kids the parents really
can't afford it, you know what I'm saying, kids that
are in foster system. Yeah, that's what the dismantling the
Department of Education gonna do. They're trying to cut that out.
And what's gonna happen is if they cut it out,
the districts would be responsible for providing free lunch. And

(45:35):
you know that's not gonna hapen because we ain't got
enough money. So technically the district gonna have to go
back to people.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Paying for lunch. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Now, I'm not mad about them giving the educators our
rights back to make the decisions. So I appreciate them saying, hey,
you know we're gonna do this. I don't appreciate them
dismantling the Department of Education, but I appreciate them saying, hey,
we're gonna allow the districts, the district, kids, the teachers,
and all of those people to have more control over
the things that happened in the education system. However, controlling

(46:04):
these funds, taking the funds that help sustain programs like
early childhood education, after school programs, free lunch opportunities for
teachers to make extra money because y'all not giving us
the money that we need or that we deserve. Clock
that tea, like the kids say, clock that tea.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
It's a problem with me.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
So how do y'all feel about the dismantling of the
Department of How y'all feel about mc mahan why being
the Department of Education secretary, And then how do y'all
feel about them dismantling it.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
It's not it's not who what is it what they're saying,
it's not who.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
You know, it's not what you know.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Yeah, and what was I reading on social media not
too long ago? It was something very something something about
the education system that was that she just didn't know.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Oh, she didn't know the term for the want that
special education something something something. She didn't know. The acronym
she didn't know. She never heard of the.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Acronym a the time. It was yeah, yeah, it was yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
And she was saying, but I'm sure I'm gonna learn it.
Like for you even had a position that you have,
you should be able to know something.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
These are basic acronyms. You don't have any. They asked
her about free lunch. She really couldn't speak about that,
you know.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
They was asking her, how does she feel about kids
in rural towns, small towns, less fortunate families, poverty, How
do you feel about them not being having access to
free lunch?

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Once you remove this, she couldn't say nothing.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
This is worse than the lady that had before that
came from the private sector, that could only give you
background on the privacy.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Yeah, yep, this chick she don't know nothing, private, public,
open clothes.

Speaker 5 (47:48):
That you want here, He won't put somebody in there
that don't know nothing, so he could do whatever he
want become that's crazy, so.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
He can so he can just run it.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
It's basically like him running and he got somebody that
he can puppet teer.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Yeah, and they don't know what they're doing, so well,
don't better just put those fun tire.

Speaker 4 (48:06):
And then it's something happened, He's gonna blame it on them.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Gonna blame it on them expeditiously. They are just like these, uh,
and this is just awful little bit.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
But that's just like the text message that's been open
about the war. The secretary of the you know the
yeah texting a accidentally texting a journalists talking about when
the bum's gonna drop?

Speaker 1 (48:26):
What time? Blah blah blah. And they asked Present forty
seven about it, and he said, I don't know. That
has nothing to do with me. You need to ask them.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
It is your secretary of defense, while we we gotta
ask you, why are you allowing this to elect this?

Speaker 1 (48:38):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Anyway, contrary to people believe, especially the ones that live
in these red states, especially in the South, the small,
non melanated towns, the ones that boded for him. This
is really gonna affect them the most. And I say
that because a lot of the free daycare.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Vouchers good job for both their part, a lot.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Of the free lunch money, a lot of the early
childhood vouchers, the after school programs that they have that
it reaches their kids or that babysits their kids while
they work in these businesses in small towns where they
can't get off work or they can't take off because
it's only three of them that work there.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Baby, y'all, the one voted for him. So do you
getting off.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Work at five thirty but your baby having to be
picked up at two thirty?

Speaker 1 (49:22):
What you finna do? Now?

Speaker 2 (49:24):
Their little business, the little job you got, you finish,
Go go back to McDonald's so you can leave on
your break to get your child and let your child
see in the foyer or in the cafe while you
work until you get off.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
And it's definitely finna be horrible once you cut off welfare.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Oh and that's what I said.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
I said, what and be the one no teeth, none,
just acting for y'all, y'all, the one's finna.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Be suffering welfare, Medicare and food stamps.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
They're like, if you look at the studies, baby, they
out be black people by a landslide will getting those service.

Speaker 4 (50:00):
And to me, if he cut on welfare, I think
crime gonna go walk.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Oh, and it's not gonna go up with us. It's
gonna because we've been hustling, we've been knowing what to do,
you know what I'm saying. And then black people don't
be wanting them in their business anyway, so we food.
You know, I'm gonna buy something from somebody, but I
ain't gonna go try to get one from him, because
now I gotta know my whole life like this is crazy.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
Yeah, it's it's just I don't understand, and I don't
understand the melanated folks that vote for him. When you
when you go back, like I got some folk on
my friends list right now, I just be looking, well,
what your voted for, Commo, tell me, why tell me
why you voted.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
For exactly exactly?

Speaker 3 (50:46):
You tell me why you voted for a nutcase?

Speaker 4 (50:49):
Just to sit back and look vote Democratic and the
Republican Party. Man, they are playing us as a gag
them along.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
They've been playing They've been playing.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
The American people for years, for years, for years. So
so hey, it is Will. But I think whoever our
vote for, this should be no problem.

Speaker 5 (51:17):
Vote you want to vote for and vote, you know
what I'm saying, Like, bro, the Democrats, the parties got out,
got households like divided.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
Literally literally they got households divided.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
Man, And it's like they, like I said, we all
getting played the people, we all getting paid, have.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
Been getting played for a long time, long time.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
I love the Breakfast Club Charlemagne, the guy was talking
about that with somebody a while ago that was asking
him why did he why did.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
He vote the way he votes?

Speaker 2 (51:46):
And he was he's he's he's a self proclaimed conservative liberal,
so he's not a Republican or Democratic, but he also
he feels like even now he feels like and it
made sense to me, the Democratics are really it's quiet,
you know what I'm saying. It's like we too, like you,
we ain't bold right now, Like our house speakers is
her king Jefferys?

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Why is Jason.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Cracking not our house speaker? Why is she not the
Democratic Party? Speak of the house.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
We need somebody that's gonna come in there and that's
gonna tell it like that part. And they can't. They're
not ready for that. Hell, she they won't. They don't
even want her. The little means and the little teens
that she in.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Baby, they trying to kick puppets, and she say that too.
She said, they want people that's gonna quall with him,
say what they.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Want to know, and she's just not doing it.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Please protect at all calls, Baby, I've been saying there
for a while. You got on one of her shirts too, Baby.
Let me read it bleach blun, bleach blunt, bad built,
butch body.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Baby. Jason had been going in all.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
The baby, I read so a couple of days ago,
like they questioning her about something after Hot Wheels coming,
but it was something else. She said that she's been
investigated and questioned about and so it was a little snippy,
was like, how do you feel about that?

Speaker 1 (52:58):
She said, I don't you know, She said. The difference
between me and them is I said it.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Out loud, so they're gonna investigate and question me, but
they stay behind closed doors all the time and nothing's happened.
So she was like, I'm not worried about it at
all anyway. Now, the next thing I want to talk
about is forty seven. Arkansas has banned cell phone usage
for the twenty five twenty six school year going forward.
It's called bell to Bell no cell phone, so no

(53:23):
students can have cell phones out from bell to bell.
If the teachers see them with their cell phone, the
teachers can confiscate them, take them to the office.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
And there's this is like a step program.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Holld Wings, I'm finna get to it their part, Babe,
We're gonna be collecting phones all they these.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Baby, there is no deed gen z kids. Baby, listen,
jen Alf what are they they? Baby? They can't do
nothing without a sale of device.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
I'm talking about being class itching ready for the bell
ring to get on their cell phone anyway, And I'm
tickled because I'm ready to see how that's gonna happen,
because you know, the pears don't want you talking to
asking their kids, not saying nothing to their kids, taking
up from their kids, looking at the baby.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
And now we're gonna have the authority. It's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
It's legally, it's written in the Arkansas Lows they passed
it at the legislation.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Baby, I want to see what's gonna happen. What y'all
think about this? Baby?

Speaker 4 (54:17):
What little girl?

Speaker 1 (54:22):
You fights?

Speaker 4 (54:25):
You finish? See some fights next year?

Speaker 1 (54:28):
And we're talking about the kids go crazy and teacher,
they go crazy.

Speaker 4 (54:35):
Over their phones and then guess what you're gonna have
the parents? Then you're gonna head the parents back in
the month.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
I'm talking about backing them up.

Speaker 4 (54:43):
Do you see me? They better come out with.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Some harsh punishment better literally literally the better. They better
write that in their.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
Part, like what's gonna be the punishment? What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Because this is exactly what's gonna happen, It's gonna be,
This is exactly what's gonna happy.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Y'all.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
I literally before we came for spring break, I was
going we had an incentive, and so I was going
over the list of students because we have to tell
the students that are going where to leave their bags
and where to go. And then the students that are
not going, we got to tell them the classroom the
theory is signed to. So I'm literally telling my students
that are not going. So one of my students, no
un millenated was so bothered because she couldn't go this.

(55:25):
She literally pulled out her phone. I said, if you
don't pull that phone up, we about to have a
serious problem.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
You would have lost it.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
Well, I'm texting my mom because she told me if
I couldn't go to text her. I said, I don't
care what she said.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
You can't text in no classroom.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Like so that's my problem. Like parents are literally texting
their kids during school hours. The kids don't respond, they
don't feel like they being disrespectful because it's they mama,
is they daddy? What are we gonna do about the parents?
They don't have respect enough of the teachers, the school,
the rules, the laws to not you know your baby

(56:02):
at school, you got life, you got their location, their
phone stays there at school. You ain't gotta text them.
And if it's that important, send them a school email.
They are on school to jail, on their school emails
all day. Send them an email through the school. You
know what I'm saying to get to them. So that's
my only concern. Like you said, why you're talking about
students and parents. The students are already gonna be defiance
and defensive because my mama text me, my daddy texts me.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
My mama said that she ever called me to text.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
So what kind of fight is that gonna be for
the teachers because I'm not I'm not going to go
there with the kids. I'm just telling you now, I'm not.
I'm just gonna tell them put your phones up. I
don't want to see them. Give me their respect, and
we're good. But as far as wrestling, you to take it,
cause if you touch me, we're gonna have a problem.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Now I gotta fight you, your mam and daddy and
then lose my license. It's just not that.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
Serious to me, you know what I'm saying. So, yeah,
I'm with you easy when it comes to the fighting
and all that stuff. It's been finna be some mad
kids and some mad parents because these kids cannot do
nothing with at these phones.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
So that's that's the district, right, No, that's.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
The state of Arkansas. Honey. We pass legation that, yes, ma'am,
that's bell to bell at Banning. Google it yeah no, yeah, no,
oh but did you?

Speaker 2 (57:15):
And and then that's gonna be another thing because the
the vouchers for the private schools and stuff has increased,
and the more applicants, the more people, and there are
more people applying for private schools in twenty five, twenty six.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
School you're from public schools. Now, I don't think they're
gonna accept these people, dummies. They chose they want to
let the schools. I don't care if you got a voucher.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
So when you say that, when they send you their
letters hand, unfortunately, at this time we are no longer
accepted because of the capacity they quant test scores. Baby,
they say against somebody else to do to get somebody
they as up.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
So I said, man, this the.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Both of these for the self, because you know, I'll
government forty seven prisons for they.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Own the boat. They man, they on the boat.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
I just but you know what that that cell phone
band is necessary.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
It is parents, like real talk. Your kids be on.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
Some stuff at these schools with these phones. You gotta
know they do if you checking your tass phone. Okay,
they recording these fights, they air dropping, they doing, you know,
they they doing a whole lot of this cyber bo
real they're doing. It's just a whole lot for risks

(58:43):
going on with these phone real school, you know, and
they're not focusing they're doing a whole lot of bs.
And then their friends ain't real friends.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
I mean they real friends because they protecting theyself. But
they tell her who did it such and such, air drop,
it's such as such, recording, it's.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Such as such.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
So it's like, why I wouldn't even want if I
know this's gonna prevent my baby for being a party
some mess or something.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
Yeah, y'all ahead, leave and y'all know y'all kids better
than us. Quit playing. Quit playing.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Because when my baby came home and said, you know,
they're getting ready to band cell phones here, I said, yep,
I said, in good.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
Right, I said that part. That part.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
My baby did the meeting with the superintendent when he
came to their school, the principal pulled a certain amount
of students or two students from each grade level, and
so she was one of the senior representatives that had
a conversation on what do you think about the ben
and and she said, well, I started out by saying, well,
I'm just gonna be honest, I really don't have a

(59:45):
dog a dog in this fight or something, because I'm
not gonna be here. She's like, but I think it's necessary.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
I think that they don't need to have, you know.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
And she made a really good point, you know, because
she said, she's like, cell phones really are distraction Mama.
She's like, like some of the smartest kids, you will
never know their potential because they're so busy trying to
see what's going on on tiktoko? Who said what on Instagram?
You know what I'm saying, So where they get distracted
and that don't work. And I said, I know that's
the truth, because hell, I could be sitting in the
bed falling on TikTok and two hours be the win

(01:00:16):
by and I'm just tickled laughing at video, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
What I'm saying. So just imagine these kids who that's
all they know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Okay, so we're gonna keep it moving, baby, We're gonna
see how that's gonna roll, y'all. Keep your eyes open.
Next when it comes to your boss or supervisor, y'all.
I feel like it's a thin line, you know. I
feel like it's a thin line. So you may be
super cool with them or work even outside of work,
you may be cool with them, or you may just
have a working professional relationship with them, but the level
of respect to me should always be their period. You

(01:00:46):
ain't got a kiss, tell none of that, but it
should always be boundaries in respect. You know what I'm saying, Like,
I just don't feel like you can go to your
boss any kind of way. You ain't going to guide
any kind of way. Don't come to your boss in
a kind of way and he tell us obey the
laws of the lens and you know the people that
sob and stuff anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
I ask say because I feel like.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
In twenty twenty five I have witness people to just
blatantly go to their supervisors and their bosses any kind
of way, say what they want to, say how they feel,
and walk off baby, drop the mic like they just
like it's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
How do y'all feel about this? Mister w how you
going to Greenwood? I mean, how you going to your boss?

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
Good? Exactly, but but good?

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
But even for some for the ones that's not good, Like,
do you feel like it's okay that you can just
go to your boss and just say what you want?

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
How you wont and walk off?

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
No, no, especially your boss and disrespect you that part
there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Okay, so let me say this, let me preface it
with this. Yeah, because Okay. Now, the situation that I'm
in now is is great, you know, mutual respect. When
my you know, my supervisor boss lady, you know, shout
out to her, I can go to her, shout out

(01:02:02):
to her. I do feel like I can go to her,
you know, straight cool. Yeah, I have something say boom boom.

Speaker 5 (01:02:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
I ain't had one of them situations at all, thank
you lord. But in the past I've had some very
interesting individuals in the position.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
But did you go to them a certain like did
you just god, did not approach. No.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
So when y'all did have conversation, it was an adult
to adult conversation, but you didn't go to them saying
this is how I feel, this is what it is,
and this has gonna be.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
It didn't start off like that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
No, I'm never going to approach anyone that's in an
authority figure, you know, in a disrespectful manner.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
Now if that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Authority figure takes it there with me, because then it
then it becomes heke, wait a minute, Now I'm grown
outside of this this here position and you can't just
talk to me any kind of way, then it becomes
something different. But initially I'm gonna approach you as my
authority figure, because I mean, that's that's the position that

(01:03:09):
you're in, and you respect the position of that individual.
So no, that's I don't think it's cool too. You
don't just run up on the come on now.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
That part and then if you got something to say,
you know what I'm saying, like, it's the way that
you can come to me, pull me to the side
and have an adult, adult to adult conversation with me.
But what you're not gonna do is be disrespecting me,
especially in the open, So you don't really just gave
me a reason to really write you up. Because I
feel like if you're doing this in front of everybody
else and I'm not asking a fool with you right

(01:03:41):
then and there, that's gonna give them to think that
they can come to me, like, you know what I'm saying.
So at the end of the day, just put some
respect on it. It don't matter how you feel, even
if it's a point to where you have a disagreement.
Pull them to the side, ask can you go to
their office? Can we have a meeting, and just say,
with all due respect, this is how I've been feeling.
Let me know if I'm feeling this way for no

(01:04:02):
reason or you know what I'm saying, but just to
come up to somebody and tell them what you what
they're not gonna do, or what you're not gonna do,
and what you know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
And what they don't like.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
No, you No, that's because at this point, Yeah, I'm
just gonna look at you, walk off, go to my
little office. Get that little red men that part, and
I'm finna give you a get loan, get long right up,
and I'm gonna give you all of them. Like you know,
like if you doing something in the court, say give
you a right up for this. I mean, charge you
for this, this, this, and use around kids, charge you
for that. That's what I'm gonna do you getting out

(01:04:32):
of charges. Yeah ooh, because I feel like nowadays, not
even just in that well yeah, nowadays, since January twentieth,
I feel like people really using this freedom of expression
and all that stuff, y'all just a little too loose.
So pipe down because at the end of the day,
that's your boss and be able the same way you
got their job twenty years, thirty years, four years one,
somebody else can come in and start your one in

(01:04:55):
the same position. Right, So humble yourselves and do what
y'all got. Okay, the last thing I want to talk
about Smith and I had the honor and excitement of
going to our city's State of the District address last
week Semi and we see concerning our district and now

(01:05:15):
our superintendent stated some amazing facts and baby, he had
the receipts. When I say, he had to receipts, because
what y'all are not gonna do is play with my
teachers period, all my kids for real, for real, baby,
he was telling us we can do this because this
is how much the teachers we can do.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
But we can't get this part because parents, y'all ain't
doing this.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Like when I say, he had the receipts, and he
was so proper, and you know he talks with that
nice light voice and you know he doesn't have an
aggressive tone in his body. Yeah, talking literally, he talked
talking about the districts that got the most most money
in little Ye School district next to net for y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
So I'm tripping because we next to nect with y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
But we're a majority black district and y'all a majority
you know that district with the money, why y'all just
beating us by two.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Or three points. It's like, yeah, y'all there paying people
all their money.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
I got out in monny moneyons, like the kids say,
it ain't doing nothing anyway. But he was saying basically
how our reading scores has increased within the last two years,
but of course there's still work to do. He shared
some things that the district and educators have control over
and we don't have control over. Like I just said,
Smith and I was hoiling baby, and there's snapping. I
was his amen corner baby, because I was like, yeah, amen, amen,

(01:06:23):
And what's clapp and what starts at clasps? You know
how in the church of one person maybe that was
in the art start said about to start clapping yet
clever enough, because y'all know this man is talking. One
of the things that he talked about was the kids
exposure to all things literacy, and that's text, letters, sounds, colors,
and only how to ReadWrite, say their names all in
hell before they get the kindergarten, you supposed to donate
it for you getting this classroom.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
You mom and them need to teach you all this
stuff anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
But if the kids are not exposed to any of
this stuff, and it's not emphasized at home. We have,
of course more work to do, but how much more
do you expect for the teacher to do?

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
How do you feel? How did you feel about this? Smith?
I know how you felt, but we say, how do
you feel about him?

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Telling the city at the address basically the teachers, we
have so much that we can do, and so much
that we are doing. But if you not gonna do
your part at the has you know what I'm saying,
this is where we're gonna be. And then he was
saying to the other district for y'all while y'all comparing us,
we hear because of the work that the teacher's doing,

(01:07:23):
and we mostly poeing black and y'all there, and y'all
mostly rich and not millenated, but we neck to neck.

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
So anyway, why how do you feel? And you know
we come from the trenches.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Baby, we baby them kids coming second grade not knowing
that ABC.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
I fail him.

Speaker 4 (01:07:41):
He told the truth.

Speaker 5 (01:07:42):
You know what I'm saying, But I've been saying that
for years. If the parents don't, If the parents, it's
not involving education. Man, These kids lost all the way
lost in the South, the kids lost. And then another thing.
You got a look at the kids that we was getting.
You gotta look at their parents and.

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
See that background. Look at their background.

Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
What's the highest education name? Like I said, you ain't
got to go to college and all that. You know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:08:09):
But like I gotta say, we was in the trenches.
I know some of them teachers, they probably started drinking.
I know my girl Daniel, it was days. I had
to go on her room and she like, we go
over this. Every day sounds they gonna sounds every day

(01:08:30):
kindergarten sounds every day.

Speaker 4 (01:08:33):
Kids ain't came home.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Guess what. Turn on the music, baby, know every songwhere
for work?

Speaker 4 (01:08:41):
Know every day?

Speaker 3 (01:08:42):
Finish for real?

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
Yeah, like that little girl doing the little little well
them fans that could be. But I just want to
snatch her. I want to know what say you spell
your names?

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
And then she got the little new version where she
hold her leg up and turn it and turn the
leg on.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
W part, baby, hold the up and turn it. I
just ain't got time for it. Uh Smith, What you
want to add to that?

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
When I say I screenshot baby, I took that picture
and it's still in my phone because when you say
and see and see, I love that. I love that
he did that because it puts accountability everybody, not just us,
because in parents and I mean I'm glad it was
live stream and whoever or whatever parents were in that

(01:09:26):
audience because it allows them to see and know that
it's not just the teachers. You cannot send your child
to school and just expect for for the teachers to
educate them. It's not just our job. So when he baby,
but we took pictures of no control or influence and

(01:09:47):
it gets the list and everything we ain't got no
control yet, like no, we can do, you can't. And
then the stuff that we have total control over baby.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
That literally literally like literally.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
Tier one instruction, no actually two excuse me, imbalance of
tier one instruction, grade level and intervention. That's our total control.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
And then limited control or influence that was a list
of things but again limited control or in floyd so
we can influence it tog.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
And then stuff we ain't got no control or influence
over that was like five or six things, which again
like poverty, trauma to think about. Okay, I'm gonna say this,
I'm just gonna give y'all right here where it says poverty, trauma,
toxic stress, okay, with I say in any names I service.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
There's a family of students in my school right now.
I serviced the sister who's in seventh grade. When she
left our school and went to sixth grade, she got
into a lot of mess. She ended up catching some
kind of charge or whatever, but then they let her
back in school. She's in seventh grade now. She was

(01:11:00):
up the school right before spring break and her bonnet
and her pajama pants.

Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
We saw her.

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
I was like, girl, you know with me and the
library and media specialists talking to her, and I was like, girl,
what you doing you know up here while you in
in school?

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
Oh, I'm learning from home. Now, what's going on? What
happened learning fromm Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
She had been Oh I got kicked out fight? Okay,
did you have a situation? Okay, So anyway that happened
right boom. Her brother was at the school last year.
I didn't service him, but I serviced the sister who
who has not tested out of my program, but she's
fifth grade now. I serviced her in third and fourth grade.

(01:11:39):
They lost their mother last year in a car wreck
twenty twenty three August. All right, we didn't know that
the brother who's much older, like seventeen eighteen, Lord, he
did six weeks after the mother passed, he was involved.
And y'all may have seen this little rock hood news

(01:12:01):
or whatever. But the oldest brother who's named after the dad,
he was involved in that shooting that killed that fifteen
year old boy in that car where a whole bunch
of guys were shooting at the car killed the fifteen
year old boy. The families had been fighting inside the courthouse. Yes,
so he was involved in that after the mom passed.
All right, So the kids been with the daddy, daddy

(01:12:24):
kind of unhinged grandma, you know, they whatever, boom, Why
did daddy just get killed Sunday spring break, right as
spring break started. So now these kids don't lost their
mom and.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
Their dad daddy murdered. Now we're finna come back to school.
The kids were already.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
Troubled trauma, you know, they but they were, you know, behaviorally, yeah,
their environment.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
Toxic stress trauma. They they're doing what that they're learning,
they're projecting with learned behavior.

Speaker 3 (01:12:57):
Exactly already in that kind of environment, and then you
lose your mama in that way. Of course, hers was,
you know, a car accident, but then your daddy gets killed.
Now you come back to school and I'm on the
phone with one of my colleagues. She was like, now, Smith,
tell me, how are we supposed to get such and such?
How a we supposed to get her mind on testing
when she come back to school?

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:13:18):
So you got in situations like that that you have
no control over. Like literally, we get ready to she
getting ready to come to school, money, she just lost
her daddy to a murder. Ain't even two years.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Into her mama pass.

Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
So literally they don't realize how there are so many
things we do not have any.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
Control at all. And that's a perfect example.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
Even just with the kids, their situations and that might
not be as detrimental, but toxic stress, mom and daddy
fighting every night, you know what I'm saying, having to
live with their grandparents because mommy and daddy mama or
daddy locked up in jail, you know what I'm saying,
Not having food, having to wait to get to school
before they can fight, like yep, Like literally toxic stress
and men going to school, looking how they looking at kids,

(01:14:05):
bullying them, causing them to project negative energy and fight
and get suspended and get surviving. Yeah, and kids, And
we dealt with that at the trenches, you know what
I'm saying. When I was in elementary school, we.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Dealt with that, if not daily, every at least weekly.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
We saw something with the cheering game bang literally the
school being locked down because somebody was running from the police.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
And they in the neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
Like yeah, So I'm just just to wrap that up.
I'm really I was thankful that he brought some reality
just to show how much things that we have no
control over.

Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
Yes, progress, because it does.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
And then the not being exposed to texts like that's important,
just like I remember being pregnant with my baby. Honey,
I'm reading now loud, I'm singing songs. That's when it
was headphones and on ear pods, none of that. It
was the headphones. I'm putting the headphones on the stomach,
you know what I'm saying, playing music. When she came out,

(01:15:09):
I didn't google got how I was full conversation. Hey mama, baby,
you know what I'm saying. It was salter, but it wasn't.
I ain't doing none of that. It was whole sentences,
you know what I'm saying. When she learned to talk,
I talked to her like I wanted her to respond, Mackenzie,
are you hungry?

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
You know what I'm saying. No, tell me say yes, ma'am.

Speaker 5 (01:15:28):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
You know that's a nonverbal way. But you're not nonverbal.
You're verbal, so you're gonna say yes. You know what
I'm saying. But I thought about that, and then I
just think about real.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
Life stuff too, that we gotta teach these kids like
so much now, real life, Like, why are we teaching
y'all manners?

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
You know what I'm saying. Why are we teaching you hygiene?

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Like that stuff that you do kind of learn in
counseling and stuff growing up, but for teachers to have
to reiterate it every single day. You smell yourself before
anybody smell yourself. I'm so big on there in middle school.
And now I just had a conversation with my keys
before spring break. Now, after spring break, if we're coming back,
it's gonna be hot, y'all know, Miss Wilson, don't have
this room temperature past seventy you know, what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
I'm a little cold nature, but I keep it a
little cool little because y'all leave here.

Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
But if you come in my class, I said it
just like that, if you come in my class smelling away,
I'm going to call you out because you smelled yourself
before you left the house. And you too big not
to intentionally put some soap and water on your body
even if you want ain't on you not arrange little soap,
I'll put it on, Put some jard on, spread a
little spreak, don't go on my word must it's take it.
And now everybody talking about you, correct, So that's another

(01:16:35):
unwanted trauma.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
And you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
And now the teacher gotta pull you to the side
and tell you you're disturbing my peace because that's exactly
what you do is at this point right. But anyway,
as a d selection intervention is I do feel like
it's a struggle. I do understand the importance of us
introducing our kids to literacy when they are born, Like,
don't wait tillday one, two or three, when they born.

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
You start talking to them.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
You start reading to them so that they can hear
words they'll start soaking it up at about four, you
know what I'm saying. But the more worse if they hear,
the more sentences that they learn, you know that they hear.
The more worse they learn, the better it is for
them to comprehend. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
Vocabulary increases.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
Listen, a lot of these kids, Like we were talking
about the developmentally appropriate things too. Somebody was like, well,
she's four and she's writing, she writes her letter, but
some of them she writes backwards.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
That's okay at four, that's okay. From four to six,
maybe early sel. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
It's okay for them to maybe write a number or
a letter backwards, you know what I'm saying. But when
they are second and third grade, they need to start
a master And now you can tell them, look, this
is the difference between the B and the D, the
P and the Q, the six and the you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:17:48):
But it's certain things are developmentally appropriate, so don't be
so hard on it. But as long as you're introducing
it to them.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
For example, if your baby four years old, you don't
need to be given her no, damn no, dang novel.

Speaker 1 (01:17:58):
I don't care how smart you say your baby is.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Still give her the picture book with the words so
she can mass the words with the pictures, use context
clues when she's reading. So even if she didn't know
their word, she's gonna see the picture. That's gonna help
her to learn the word. And now she can put
the picture in a word together, so now she learned
to know. You get what I'm saying. So some stuff
I feel like, as parents, it is our responsibility to list.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
To make sure that we teach our kids.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
And you know, because it ain't nowhere in the world
that in the state of Arkansas, you in sixth, seventh,
eighth grade and you'll know how to read. You know.
I tell people all the time, even now, people be
trying to give me the tour I'm gonna do Smith
and are reading and this lexi interventions.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
So people always say stuff about well what I read.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
I'm like, listen, when when y'all baby get to third grade,
if they are not fluently reading, you, that's when you
need to check you some need to a light bulb
me to go off, because after second grade, we don't
teach how to read anymore. When you get to third grade,
now you learn it. You're reading to learn. We teach
you how to read to learn, but I mean teach
you how to learn to read from pre K four

(01:19:11):
and pre K four it is optional because you don't
have to be in pre K four you're mandated kindergarten.
So from kindergarten to second we're teaching you how to read.
But from third grading up you reading the learn Like
everything you gotta know gonna require you to read it
so you can learn it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
And understand it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
So just understand on the things that you can't control.
If you happen to have a kid or know a
kid that gets the third grade and they can't read,
they can't produce sounds, they can't identify letters or sounds, baby,
that's the time to get some good intervention in and
you may and catch it because it's still early.

Speaker 1 (01:19:43):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
You need to get them some outside help because I'm
telling you right now, it ain't it's not happening at
school unless they're getting some SPAD services or unless they're
getting intervention, you know, like dyslexia intervention. But the Tier
one instruction is not is they're not required to be
teaching them to read once they passed second grade. That

(01:20:06):
part so, but I mean just parents are again.

Speaker 1 (01:20:11):
If the teacher is sending stuff home.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
With your child, sit down with them part, and it's
taken an hour, it's gonna hit you get to sit
down and work.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
And it ain't even an hour, Like listen, like the
stuff that we're giving and we're seeing in it's like
probably twenty thirty minutes at the most, And that's still
adequate time for you to.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Actually learn something and be sufficient and be able to
go to school.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
And you know what I'm saying, like this twenty third
because we say if you're going to read, read twenty
or thirty minutes to night. So if you're in reading,
that includes doing homework, writing that review, that's a part
of reading, that's a part of literacy. But if you
ain't doing nothing, you cannot expect for the teacher to
make gold out of paper.

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
I'm just saying, you know, kids, come, it's blank slay.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
It's our job to help them grow, but it's also
your job to make sure that they are that you're
putting empty.

Speaker 1 (01:21:05):
Yeah, and what we're teaching them, Yeah, well, Chap, you
want to add anything to listen to me and fit.

Speaker 3 (01:21:13):
And it's it sickens me because I go making all
these copies of these words, these high frequency words. You
still come to school and we do these high frequency
words and the lessons.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
And you still don't know these.

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
Just before I stay fussing and I girl, I just
send home books. Even this is even before the superintendent
blessed us with books.

Speaker 1 (01:21:34):
You still not picking them up. Reading word of the
books I sent home.

Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
We're in the wordless word the word them up them
up well, the phone emes and all of that that
I with, the with the keywords and all of that.

Speaker 1 (01:21:45):
Where is all of that that part?

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
And I was just gonna say that check, baby, you
checked them bad packs. They got paper books up.

Speaker 1 (01:21:54):
You gave him. I held a middle schooler, sixth grade,
clean out his bag.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
I'm likes and buddy, and he he got parents that
soon as something go wrong, they're ready to come up
there and jump jump your throat. So we cleaned out
his backpack together, and I was pulling stuff, y'all. I
promise you from like September. And so I said, so
when you get home and your mama asks what happened
to hey, Missus Wilson made me clean my backpack out,

(01:22:20):
but she helped me. But she did say I should
have been told to do this a long time ago,
because there were parent letters and parent information back in
September that was in my backpack that you didn't know
about because you didn't go through my backpacker even you
know your kids. Hell, you know, you don't know what's
going on at the school. But I bet if you
check that baby backpack it's in there, it's gonna be

(01:22:41):
a letter or something that don't tell you what's going.

Speaker 3 (01:22:43):
On, and then you're gonna come up to the school
or call up to the school clown about that part. No,
that part about with the teacher whomever didn't tell you.
But it's in that backpack, the papers.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
Yeah, yeah, we gotta get it together.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
Ain't gonna better together anyway, So we gonna do better
this twenty twenty five school year, twenty five twenty six
school year, But the rest of twenty four to twenty five,
we're gonna make sure our kids are getting proper rest.

Speaker 1 (01:23:08):
We're getting into testing season.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
Parents, the test scores really tells a lot about your child.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
It details a lot about the teacher.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
To a certain percentage, but it's really for us to
see what your child has comprehended, what they've soaked up,
what they've learned, and now it's their time to show
us what they have learned. So make sure your kids
are reading during testing season or a lot of teachers
don't give homework.

Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
I know, I'm middle school.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
I never give homework, But when I was in elementary
for seven years, I never gave homework them like three
or four weeks. Maybe not a homework, but I did
in my parent letter every week I did send a
parent a reading log home for the parents to make
sure that their kids read at least twenty thirty minutes
at a time, and make them read. You sign what book,
what page, sign it, and then at the end of

(01:23:57):
the week, I gave them treats.

Speaker 1 (01:23:58):
I tried to do stuff like this encouraging.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
So yeah, just make sure your kids are fully rested,
make sure they're eating a balanced breakfast. If they don't
have it at home, send them to school in time
enough to get it because they got it at school,
And get y'all stuff together next year because it ain't
gonna be no cell phones on, no free lunch, So yo,
start they're part of breakfast and lunch, so start working

(01:24:21):
on that.

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
Now, that's something we need to start working on. What
semi what you pointed at us? What we we get
free lunch right? My baby? My god? Yea, thank you,
Jesus mine is out of their baby. Well, college to

(01:24:44):
lunch is gonna be just don't wish it with.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
Free anyway you want to add anything, Smith, We're gonna
wrap this thing up.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
Whoa, it's that's yeah. We didn't hit some topics.

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
We did. We're gonna think about some more because we
got to do our summer break. Before we do some breaks.
Saying you want to say anything before we wrap it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:04):
Up, she said, hell this time, let's as you said.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
Heck, so you're good all right, So thank you us
Spellage for tuning in. We are moving on to our
spill trend encouragement time, iron choppings Iron Proverbs twenty seven
and seventeen. It tells us that, y'all, we grow and
we become better people because of the lessons we learn,
whether those are life lessons or we have amazing spouses, parents,

(01:25:30):
family members, mentors, friends, and even God.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
When we listen to.

Speaker 2 (01:25:36):
What has been taught to us, we accept different perspectives
and that helps us to become better people. Every opportunity
you get, spillish, try to better another person by sharpening
their arm, not for you, but for them. Now, don't
project all it negative and I know it all foolishness
and at cockiness and at attitude. Make sure that you

(01:25:56):
are projecting humility. Make sure you've examined yourself before you
try to sharpen someone else someone else's iron. Make sure
you've been reading God's word and listening to him, and
