at the same time. So I hope everybody had a
peaceful Thanksgiving. The world is is still and let's let's send.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Some love to Indigenous people who have a hard time
with Thanksgiving because the Indians weren't invited.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
To Thanksgiving, right.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Right right?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Taking that Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
So we need to show some love to our religious people,
our reigions, brothers who went to ore and I still
want a lot of the same things that we go
through with black people.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, so, you know, unfortunately.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
A little bit more intitious though. I think it's yeah,
they didn't no love, man, I mean it's way bad.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah yeah, so uh yeah, well, you know, the holidays
is real rough. I uh, I want to give a
shout out to I lost a good friend of mine,
uh named Clifford Golbert g O. B. E. R. Clifford
Cliff Golbert, just Cliff Gobert. He was a great guy.

(10:01):
He was an actor, the singer. Uh Brud just went
to sleep, man, he went he went to sleep and
didn't wake up. He wasn't sick, it wasn't ill it
was just his time. And we get a shout out
to him, and we really really uh that. You know.

(10:28):
It's it's a fortunate that death doesn't take a holiday
and we are in that time and a lot of
times you talk about depression and stuff, like a lot
of times the holidays is not the happiest time of
year for people, Yeah, because they have lost family members or.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
From other kinds of trouble around holidays. You know. It
may be something as simple as you know, having if
you was a parents who through your kids, through your
boys out of the window, like like you know, my
my drunk ass fathers drew our choice out the window
one one one Christmas. What oh wow, I mean that's

(11:20):
that's a vague memory for me, but for somebody that
that would be major trouble.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, that's that's that's kind of on the lines of
screwge you know. But uh, you know, that's that's unfortunate.
But uh, we wish everybody uh happy and safe holiday,
be safe out there. Uh. Chicago is uh is a

(11:47):
wild city. And uh. One thing about Chicago, it tends
to when it when it's cold outside, you don't have
as much action, and is when it's hot outside, they're
still crying. But people be trying to it's kind of
cold to do something outdoors. Unlet's it really desperate And

(12:10):
that's what's happening a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Right right right right.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Uh so uh, you know, robbing banks and all of that.
I mean, they may try it, but it usually doesn't
work out.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
A lot of that stuff is not you know, uh
that's what the lady is because they're black based on there.
But you know, just just organized crime.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Right every wants will get.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
To give them the trucks and stuff to go to
break into these places and snatch out these hpns or
grab all the.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Jewelry or whatever, you know, And that's what's that.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
They get stuff they can't they can't make no money
or and.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
That's what's so fascinating that they do.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Nowadays they do is they steal a car and then
they steal somebody's car and they use the car to
break in to the store. So they'll use the car
to ram, ram it right through the through the store

(13:19):
and then rob the store and then tie a rope
to the ATM and pull it out. Now, I saw
the movie Barbershop, you know, I can't conceive of how
people would steal in ATM and how do they get

(13:40):
in it. You gotta get some high tech tools to
tear that ship up to get in the money, you know,
And I'm sure they make that kind of secure, you know,
but you know.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
There's a way in.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
There's a way in. You know they did that in
the movie.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Uh, boys, I mean, you know, And that's why, you know,
it's clear that these things aren't just you know, a
bunch of guys going to committed crime smoking some weed
or drinking some weed. They drinking some some liquor and
getting stupid and going out and robbing at AHTM. Right,

(14:23):
that's by an organized crime who wants to get him
in the same maybe give him their cut or whatever
it is. And that's that.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
But they're on their own right right, right right. We
got some collars on the air six four six two
zero zero zero ninth Wade.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
We have a call on there.

it's a different time over there. It's like five in
the morning, and so they get up to listen to us.
But anyway, so Thanksgiving, I want to find out what
you guys are thankful for. All my people on on Instagram,

(22:20):
ig let's hear what are you thankful for? Are you
thankful for your help? Are you thankful for your life,
for your thankful for your children, your parents, be thankful
for your job. A lot of people thankful for their job.
I'm thankful for my family, my wife, all of my kids.

(22:46):
I got a lot of them, I got some, I
got a bit. I got bonus kids. I got bonus kids.
So and I'm a father to a lot of other
kids and unfortunately adults too. Yeah that we all need help,
right brother it.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yes, sir.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
So what's happening on your hand? As far as you
know the counseling aspect, you got a lot of clients, hopefully.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
You know that's gonna change. How are you getting more
and more every day? And that's a good thing. And
as I said earlier, you know, I have been seeing
a lot of anxiety, a lot of the stuff that's
going I've never seen a time where politics going on

(23:44):
government have had such a personal impact on people's lives,
people's families are breaking.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Up behind Tramp.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
And his policies, and you know, people not wanting to
have family members associated with him, right, And it's it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
I mean, Donald, Donald Tramp is who he's talking about. Yeah,
I know, he got elected president. I think I'm over
it now. I'm just kind of sitting back waiting to
see what he's gonna do. I was kind of foolish.
I really believe that. I thought Kamala could have won,

(24:35):
you know, but.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
You should have won. And I'm ashamed of the Yeah,
women and men who didn't vote for her because she's
a woman. Right, that's the lamest reason that you can
show up with, you know, to not vote.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
For someone, right. You know, when I wanted, I mean,
I really believed that she would win. So when I
after she didn't win, I realized this country is slow
on women, you know, Yeah, it's really slow on women.

(25:18):
And you know, you figure if it's been a basically
a white man that's been leading our country up until
Obama for years, that wouldn't it be nice to the
Philippable women. There are women in all countries. There are
women in Germany and in different places they Mexico as

(25:44):
a woman, and you know, and they're running the countries Australia,
you know, yeah, you know, and I think it's really
time for people to get uh get hire, you know,
I mean, why not. But these and you know, I
hate to single out Republicans, but these old folks are

(26:07):
really ridiculous. I once heard Oprah Rent Winfrey say that
the only way that you could get great rid of
racism in this country is the old white folks have
to die, you know, and little by little, you know,
we know that's happened. But then, but what scares me

(26:30):
is these young people, like the Proud Boys and all
these militia organizations that are young and they believe in
this shit.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
You know.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
I think, you know, when I was a kid, I
had there was prejudice. I experienced it, but I went
to an all black school for grammar school, mixed high school,
and you knew what the what your lane was nowadays,

(27:01):
Like my son. I asked my son when he was
like fourteen, say you have experienced racism? And he told,
we know, you know, And I'm like, I think our
kids grew up with not a lot of racism, but
then some of them inherited from my parents. But gradually

(27:25):
that has all changed, I think each generation and now
the new generation, which is a Gen Z. You know,
I want to think that they're more liberal, but uh,
you know, a.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Different experience racism that they may not even label it
racism right now that we had. You know, certainly our
art experience was much more blatant. You know, I remember
at a very young age being stopped on the street
and searched. Right, I could have been you know, picky

(28:03):
rightbe thirteen fourteen, right right, I mean from choir practice,
you know, and I pulled me over. I mean, you know,
rolled up to me. I'm walking, he's in the guard
and it hurches.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Me h, that's crazy, you know, And and it works.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
I mean, can you can you count on the on
one hand how many times as a black man.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
That you have been stopped or or I used to
think it was a like what do you call it? Ah,
I'm not a prerequisite. I just think that it's something
about every black man at some time in their life.

(29:07):
And some people they're not, but every black man has
gone been arrested, you know. I mean it's like, you know,
like the past, Yeah, you know, what did they call
it when you when you know it's your path to manhood,
you you got to be uh yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Mean there is you know, kind of a.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
Idea that you know, uh, it's not walk about you know,
you got to get arrested right right for passion?

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know I didn't believe that.
I didn't believe that for a long time until it
happened to me. Okay, and I could say it has
happened to me, and it's happened to my son's happened
to I think every black man at some point in

(30:03):
their life, whether it's parking tickets or drugs or whatever.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Bet just harassment I've had. I've been stopped in all
those categories, right, I ain't gonna lie. And I've been
doing I've done some pretty wide stuff. And what's interesting
is is that I've gotten away with.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Some stuff too, right right right right, you.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Know, confident, done some really foul stuff.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
And yeah, and and and the people who who are
uh you know, I always one, I always said, I
just I just nasty people.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
I mean this guy they are they took they stopped me.
Now I'm in Harlem right behind the Hall of Peter, right,
that's going on, and they stopped whit. I got out
a car and I'm on my phone. Long story short,
this guy you know is going to arrest me, gets

(31:13):
in my car and gonna drive into the to the
police station. He's ripping the gears out of my car.
He can catch up to state what oh man? And
then they gave me. They wound up giving me summonses
and coordinates for a weekend. I got home and looked
up the dates. They were all on weekends. It was

(31:35):
all bs. They just harassed me the whole time I
was with them. It was four hours before I got
to walk with him. Four hours.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Seeah, that's why I said it was it's kind of
like it. It's terrible that you have to refer to
as like a right of passions. So I think any
black man, if you can live at least twenty one
and you've never been arrested, you are It's not a

(32:08):
normal thing, okay, because the average I would say, Now
I'm not good on statistics or anything, but I would
say at least seventy five percent of black men have
all been arrested before twenty one. You know, that's a
wild stay. I'd like to look it up. You know, I.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Wouldn't doubt it that I'm I'm gonna even higher in
the inner city.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah, now that's l and then and that's not including
how many black men have gone to jail. So you
could get arrested and then they could let it go.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
But when you get arrested and now to go sit
in to jail, you know, I had to.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
You know, it happened to me. It happened to me.
I never thought that could happen, you know, you know, hey,
yes she is, what's up? Sis?

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Hey me?

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yes, we would love to see you Sunday. We got
two more days, so it was good too. So shout
out to my cast, Shout out to my wonderful wife.
She's a Jesus. She's out there somewhere. Yeah, she's traveling.

(33:40):
Uh I think she's out the airport. What of y'all?
Uh shout out to doctor Shotwell and uh who else
is in the car with him? Wesley, my other son.
I know, I know y'all can hear me, but y'all
can't respond because they're listening as well as everybody else.

(34:03):
But uh, that's what's up, y'all. It's it's Thanksgiving. Weekend, Uh,
not to be thankful for and it's time for everybody
to like really take an exhale and uh and clear up,
clear up, clear yeah, and clear up all of your

(34:27):
debts and ship get all of that ship out for
the end of the year. And let's start twenty five
uh with some energy because we're gonna need it. We
don't know what this man's gonna do.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
We got an idea, Uh, chaos is to have yourselves
and Project twenty twenty five is real.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
However, they changed the name of Project twenty twenty five.
They stopped calling it that. Now it's called Agenda forty seven. Okay,
they pulled a fast one, yet Agenda forty seven and

(35:17):
what is forty seven stand for?

Speaker 3 (35:21):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
That motherfucker got in y'all again. And I have to say, yeah,

Damn same man, that's a damn same. So we got
to live with this for a year. So, uh, somebody
said that Joe Biden should drop out being the president
and let Kamala be a president for thirty days, which
I'll think about that, just so we get a black
president in there. He could do that. I mean he would.

the motherfucker dropped dad, she's the president. It's thirty days,
I would, I would, thirty days, I would fucking shit up, Okay,
I would. I would. I put some laws the fact

(39:59):

help because that go ahead.

Speaker 8 (45:48):
Oh no, I was just gonna say, I was thinking
the scripture where God did not give us the spirit
of fear, but power loving a sound mind, and I
was just thinking, you know, even during this time, to
you know, even have a sound mind during this because
we are living in such times right now. Sometimes it's difficult,
you know, to stay focused, you know. And so I'm

(46:09):
grateful for right now at this point that I do
have a sound line, which I think I'm kind of found.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
All the time. Okay, okay, okay, yeah, well that that
that is definitely positive. Yeah, well that's great, that's great.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
So we our call in line at six four six
to zero zero zero nine four eight. If you guys
are out there, even in another country, uh, call us,
tell us what you're grateful for, because uh, we all
we got you know, and uh and nobody getting nobody.

(47:00):
He's getting younger, We all getting thoser, you know, and
hopefully a lot wiser wiser.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
You know. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Yeah, well you know, you mad, you make, you make mistakes,
but you hang in there.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
You know.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
My mother, my mother used to say just keep living
and breathing, you know. But uh six four six two
zero zero zero nine point eight Man about town were
on the air. Okay, we had some callers earlier, but
they was they wasn't too wise. I don't know the

(47:51):
guy he wanted to tell me to be a gay woman, Doug.
I'm like, what, it doesn't even make sense?

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
Yeah, anyway, well hopefully you know that are extreme. Yeah,
so brother man, use a therapist. What's what's the word
that you can tell people to keep h H?

Speaker 3 (48:25):
As I was saying earlier, you know, I think as
we base a period of chaos, uh from our government,
it's a narrative for us as individuals to gather our wagons,
to circle our wagons, both you know, financially and emotionally,
you know, situationally around your jobs and your careers or

(48:47):
your businesses and kind of through as best you can
because you know, uh, we don't know what's coming. Yeah,
we can't expect to get support to my government.

Speaker 9 (49:01):
Yeah yeah, I wanted I just you know, they said
he's going through with this mask deportation, but I can't
believe that, you know, and then.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
And then all of these uh Hispanic people will see. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (49:21):
We tried to tell him.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
We tried to tell him. Man, you know, I can't
believe that.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Issue.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah wow yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
And that's that. That's it so uh so.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
But I would like to think that we have something
uh a little bit more positive to uh look forward to,
you know. I mean it is a new year. I
know it looks bleased, and I.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Think, you know, that focus in ourselves like we did
during the pandemic. Doing that or the chaos, it couldn't
be home for a lot of people, right. I think
when you look back at the pandemic, for a lot
of people, it's a really good time, even though it

(50:21):
you know, and it gave people a chance to focus
on themselves and maybe you can be an invented. You
know how they came out of it in one way.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
Right right? Well yeah I was. I was single and
then I got married. There you go, change my life, man,
the best move I ever made in the pandemic, Thanks Tomorry.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
I think the same transition right now.

Speaker 7 (50:54):
Okay, okay, that's so the same.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
And you know when the pandemic was going, dude, I
I didn't know we was gonna make it, you know,
I mean the theater community was completely devastated. Yeah, oh
my god. I never I never imagined that. And we

(51:21):
had to think would they ever be theater again? They
were like, it will never happen again, you know.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
And yeah, I was doing there in mine from my
from my office, and I was like, wow, I can't
make money from home, you know, I had as I

(51:50):
couldn't go outside alone.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Right, I wasn't working.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
I was already boy. Yeah. Uh so I gotta I
gotta raise.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Yeah, you know, and I think that everybody, Uh what
it did do is everybody start going for themselves and
a lot.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Of uh realizing their value. Yeah, workers realize how valuable
they were, you know, their families and everywhere else, and
how they were short change stuffs. Yeah, because when things
geaned up, a lot of these companies were having trouble
hiring people because people weren't when going for those those localities,

(52:37):
for those situations where they were not getting the right
time conversation, you know, you know, storry to see realize
the right.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
There, I see, I see, I see so so so
we're having a party at your house?

Speaker 7 (52:56):
Uh yeah, yeah, I need to.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
I need I need to get with the root juice
and uh at so forth. But uh, now man, this
is this is great. Uh we got a few more
minutes here. But yeah, I just want to encourage people
to uh you know, uh to try to have fun.

(53:32):
You know, it seems like life is so freaking short. Man.
I look up some of my partners just be checking out,
man and.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Checking out or checking out checking out.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Yes, god god, yeah, you know. And then when happens
is I find people that that I know when it's
real tricky, when you haven't heard from anybody, we haven't
heard from in a long time. He's like, oh, I

(54:13):
haven't heard from so and so when did what happened
to him? And then, you know, like a good friend,
h Jesse Carter, you know, give a shout out to him. Uh,
you know, we kind of lost contact. And then I
was the blue. His brother called his brother hit me

(54:36):
up on Facebook and said who he was. And I
was like, oh, yeah, where's Jesse? Tell him to call
me right and he's like, unfortunately, he said just passed
four years ago. I'm like, oh my god, wow, yeah man,
you know, so so I'm glad that you know, he

(55:00):
people friends keeping contact, like we're able to keep in contact. Well,
I'm able to.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
I think I think we realized, oh do we get
how valuable you know, because we need each other more
than we need each other before, right, people, we need
to support.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
The Yeah, and especially like your brother called he say,
he said, uh, yeah, man, I really enjoyed that the
roots concept that we just happened to have to go to.

to stay or go, and he went, and it was

(55:44):
it was the bomb, you know, sort lived through the
experiences like nowadays, I can't concerts nowadays are really usually
they're kind of weak. The concerts of old school. I member,
