Narrative at a time.

Peace, peace, peace, family. You now tap into another edition
of the mighty Mighty Narrative podcast. And Narrative Podcast is

Respirosity and original people Positivity and Narrai podcast promotes positive

(01:56):
The Narrative Podcast provides positive frames of reference about original
people and original people culture. Welcome to the Narrative Podcast.
I am your host, Haulzy Ellen. Welcome all my narrators. Peace, pceps, PCEPN,
the d All right, how is everybody doing on this
wonderful weekend sensational Saturday. Back at you with another full

(02:21):
edition of the Narrative Podcast weekend edition. So just left
you all just yesterday Friday with the episode of the
Narrative Podcast. That was my weekday edition. So welcome to

(02:42):
the platform. For those that do not know or not up,
the Narrative Podcast is the home for all black content.
I speak about all things black on this platform. I'll
just give you a brief many overview of the Narrative Podcast.

(03:07):
Near the podcasts highlights the beauty and strength and resilience
of the Black community. Covering topics is black love, empowerment, unity,
and progression. Ner A podcast dives deep into discussions about
black health, economic wealth, innovation, and positive reinforcement of Black voices.
Tun in week days and weekends to hear inspiring stories,

(03:30):
uplifting news, and they focus on the achievements of Black
individuals across the globe. And that's pretty much just the
tip of the iceberg here at the Narrative Podcast. The
primary focus of the Narrative Podcast is to deliver positive
frames of reference about Black people and Black culture or

(03:51):
as I refer to our people and our culture on
this platform.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Original people and original people culture.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
And then also to promote positive reinforcement of our people
and our culture. So you know, that's pretty much what
this podcast is all about. And how I typically get
things started off is I give you a brief overview
of my two different podcast styles, just to give you

(04:25):
a brief comparison and contrast of my delivery styles of.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
You know, the weekday and the weekend.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
After that, I go into the promotional portion of the
Narrative Podcast, which is basically my crowdfunding portion just promoting
some projects to generate revenue for the platform. This platform
has a monthly maintenance be attached to it, and these

(05:02):
projects generate the revenue to keep the podcast going. And
then after that, I give you a broad overview of
the narrative podcast just to let you know all the
nuances about the podcast. You know, a complete overview, just
everything you should know as a listener to fully grasp

(05:27):
the content content of the platform and just help you.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Digest it better.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
So just.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Too contextualize the content for you.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
Just bring everything into full context so you won't have,
you know, any reservations about listening to the podcasts, are
not quite sure the direction that I'm taking it.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
You know, that's the whole purpose of.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
The broad overview of the near of the podcast, just
to put everything into perspective for you. And then then
of course dive right on into the content itself, so
off the rip. So how I present my content is,
you know, I divide I divide my content up the sections.

(06:25):
Each section has speaking points and then I tied each
one of those speaking points.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
And the purpose of me doing that is just to
make the episode run more smoothly.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Uh, It'll keep me from veering off topic and make
everything just short briefing to the point. And then also
so I'm not just you know, going all over the
place with my you know, speaking points and just have
everything nice and neat and easy to follow. So that's

(07:04):
why the purpose of me breaking down you know, the
content ended sections so you know exactly what I'm speaking
about and all my speaking points how it relates to
the overall point that I'm making. So without any further ado,
gonna get things kicked off immediately with the format, style,

(07:30):
comparison and contrast. So first of all, like I said,
I broadcast during the weekdays and the weekends, and how
I delivered my content, I basically centered around the.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Main positive frame of reference that I'm focusing on.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
And then after you know I delivered my main positive
frame of reference that I'm focusing on, then I follow
up with another section. So my main positive frame of
reference that I focus on during the week days are
positive news articles, and I focus on delivering positive news

(08:18):
articles during the weekdays because all weekday long, we are
constantly being bombarded with negative news.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
As it pertains to our people in our culture, we're never.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
Being showed engaging, engaging in or doing anything positive or productive.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
It's always some.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Form of chaos, some form of distress, some form of
trauma being shown to is continuously.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Throughout the week as it relates in concern to our
people and our culture.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
It's never really, you know, anything positive or productive. All
the images were shown during the weekday as it pertains
about our people and our culture are all negative and
all degenerate and all stereotypical.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
And this is intentionally done. This isn't done on accident,
you know.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
It's all about psychological programming and conditioning. The people who
run the media want to work and condition our minds,
want to feed us mental poison, to destroy our minds,
you know.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
And the adverse effects that.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
It has on our community from being exposed to the
negativity all weekday long, is that it is embedded into
ourself and then we as a people on a subconscious level,
act out all this negativity. And then on the reverse,
people outside of our culture, you know, they judge us harshley,

(10:16):
they interact with us and react to us, you know, negatively,
because all they're being shown are you know, negative frames
of reference as it pertains to it relates to our
people and our culture. So they don't have any positive

(10:36):
frames of reference about our people in our culture.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
All they know about us is what they see.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
On the news, in movies, on television, what they hear
in the music's, what they read in you know, magazines, advertisements.
You know how we're depicted like that, And so they
you know, form their opinions and how closely they're going
to relate to us based on the negative frames of

(11:07):
reference that they're given to about them. And now that
can also have does have a lethal effect on us
because you know, law enforcement are highly influenced on these
negative frames of reference about our people and our culture.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
So in most officers of the law.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Come in contact with someone from our community, they're immediately fearful.
They're so fearful of us. In fact, you know, it
usually results in end of life for our people. So
on the that's how people outside of our culture, you know,

(11:54):
view us. So that's why you know, I focus on
delivering positive frames of reference about our people and our
culture during the week.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Days, and the effort to.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
You know, dispel all these negative stereotypes and stigmas about
our people in our culture, undo the psychological programming and conditioning,
and also to demonstrate that positive.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Things do happen within our community.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
Then after I'm done delivering my positive frames of reference,
I have another section in which I call the speaking
point section. I'm a podcaster, so all podcasters talk about
current events. The difference between me and most others is,
you know, when I'm talking about current events, I'm speaking

(12:43):
about it from the black perspective as it, you know,
pertains to or relates to our community, whether it potentially.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
May or directly does.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
And when I'm doing that, you know, I'm controlling the
narrative because we all go out of the way to
have its looking and sound and crazy. So that's the
purpose of me delivering positive frames of reference or my
speaking point section delivering commentary. And then on another note,

(13:20):
pretty much all the speaking points all throughout the podcast
center and focus around the bigger picture, and the bigger
picture pretty pretty much. You know, if anything negative is
transpiring within our community, it can usually be traced back

(13:43):
to two very important things, systemic oppression and psychological programming
and conditioning. While full grown adults, no matter what you know, gender, race, religion, creed, culture,
they are they need to be, you know, self accountable,
hold themselves accountable for their own actions and needs. For sure,

(14:10):
no offends and what's about that. But as it pertains
to our people, you know, you can never ever rule
those two things out. Those things primarily dictate the climate
of our community, especially those of us residing in the

(14:32):
United States of America. Pretty much the same thing abroad,
but you know, pop culture and just world culture as
far as Americans are being viewed or really kind of
you know, Black Americans are at the forefront of it.

(14:52):
And so all opinions and thoughts about our people and
our culture is through the lens of how our people
are depicted, you know, throughout the media. And when I
said the media, I don't just mean the news per se.
I mean all forms of media. I mean books, television shows, movies,

(15:18):
you know, music, commercial advertisements. These are all contrived on
how white people or you know, people that run the
media that just happen to be white, perceive our people
and you know, the way they want our people perceived

(15:42):
by other people. And again, like I said, it's a
big psychological game or experiment. So that's just pretty much

(16:03):
you know, my overall speaking points throughout the podcast. Now
my next format style it is obviously the weekend. Today
is Saturday. I have more sections during the weekday than
I or during the weekend than I do the week
to day and so, and rather than tell you each

(16:25):
and every section that I have available, what I do
is I describe each section as I come to them.
So right now, I'm just going to tell you, you know,
my main positive frame of reference that I focus on
during the weekend, and then all the things you should
know about this section, and I describe all the other

(16:48):
sections as I come to them. I just want you
to be aware of, you know, pretty much how they
differ from each other. So, first and foremost, before I
get into that, kind of got to give you a
little backstory.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
First and foremost.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
When I started this podcast, I only used to broadcast
on weekends.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Weekdays. Is something new that I started doing.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
I mean, I've been doing this like close to like
three or four years now since the pandemic, you know,
since we were all in quarantine and everything. Pretty much
all content creators back then was doing podcasts due to

(17:35):
you know, not being able to go outside because of
curfew and.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
You know.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
National uprising, especially here in the United States, it just
wasn't safe to be outside we've had all these protests
and other things going on. You know, it was a
time of civil unrests and and just also just every
time it turned on the news, it was something negative,
especially about black people and black coaching. So, you know,

(18:12):
most content creators that were either podcasting or doing tiktoks
and then they had still had a few YouTubers still
doing their you know, figuring out a way to stay
true to their content.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
But what I decided to do, I you know, I
do a podcast.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
And pretty much everybody that were doing podcasts at the
time were just really doing it out of boredom. They
didn't expect for it to go anywhere. They were just
doing something because there were no literally no other options
to do other than watch television, which was super depressing.
Couldn't go to movie theaters, and you know, so that's

(19:01):
what I did the past the time. Now, when I
first started broadcasting, I didn't really have a primary focus.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
I kind of just figured it out each episode.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
I was highly impacted about, you know, how negatively our
people were portrayed during this time, and so what I
want to do is just do something to uplift our people,
to show us in a positive light. And the shed

(19:34):
light on all the you know, wonderful things that we
do and contribute to society. So basically I had really
just started just rifling off black owned businesses to support
and black history facts. I didn't really have just random

(19:56):
black history facts. I didn't really have a sin speaking points.
I was just kind of all over the place when
I started doing it. So then I streamlined it again,
you know, gave myself a main speaking point, streamlined again
at some points to that main point. You know, later

(20:21):
on introduced some theme music, and it eventually you know,
evolved into what it is now. You know, So had
it split up in this section. He section had speaking
points and you know, had really clear transitions when I

(20:45):
was moving on to a different subject. So, you know,
and then later on I had a week days. This
podcast platform that I'm recording these episodes on had a
week day or had a live function. You can go live,
you could go live. It's they removed their function, but

(21:08):
I still ended up just recording on the weekdays. But
that's how the weekday came about. So, you know, just
to let you know, the weekend episodes of the Narrative
podcast is the OG episodes, And I call it referred

(21:29):
to them as full episodes of the Narrator.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Podcast because they have more sections than the weekdays. So
now that you got the.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Backstory, I'm just briefly in on how I kick things
off during the weekdays.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
So my main.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Positive frame of reference that I focus on during the
week ends I've been saying weekdays party, then I focus
on during the.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Week ends.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
Is business ownership and entrepreneurialists. I focus on that because
we don't have many positive frames of reference about business
ownership and what it means to be an entrepreneur.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
And again intentionally.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
Done because the people that run the media that don't
want us to have those positive frames of reference to
pull from to inspire ourselves to you know, be business
owners and entrepreneurs. They want to spend all their time
promoting negativity, promoting you know, degeneracy, and just all the

(22:31):
worst possible qualities about our people and our culture. They
want to keep us stagnant in those images. You know,
they don't want us to remember a time that we
were once respectable business people, that we had our own neighborhoods,
that we had our own you know, movie theaters, lingro mats,

(22:56):
and you know everything that dominant society had we had
within our community too. They don't want us to ever
you know, get back into that mindset and want us
to be dependent on the system and then make fun
of us for being dependent on the system, if you
know what I mean. So that's why they keep on

(23:20):
pushing all this, these negative stereotypes of stigmas that don't
want to ever us to ever return back to the
era of when our community was the most prominent, and
it was the most prominent before we integrated into dominant society,

(23:41):
into white society, before everything became integrated. Now, the reason
why we wanted to integrate it was never because we
wanted validation from dominant society. We just wanted them believe
us alone. So we're in post public spaces. We don't

(24:01):
have to want to have to go all of our
all out of our way to get a drink of water.
We don't want to have to go all out of
our way to go to the toilet. You know, my
booboo ain't no different than your boo boo? Why do
I gotta go, you know, all way out the way
to you know drop the number two that was that
was ridiculous. It had nothing to do with us, wanted

(24:24):
to be closer or interact or even spend our money.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
With the white people.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
We didn't care about, you know, them denying the service
in their restaurants and stuff. I know they focused and
made it seem like it when they keep on pushing
the legacy a reverend doctor Martin Luther King, you know
the boycott he was staging, going to lunch counters and
you know, getting spat on and people dropping food over us.

(24:53):
But it wasn't really about that. It was just about
them leaving us alone. Ultimately, don't want to if we
have to. We always did have to venture outside of
our community for something, and when we did, we just
want to be safe. So if you know, if we integrated,
you know, if we're all ways around you will we

(25:14):
get treated like human beings. That's what initially the integration
was all about. But you know, ultimately they don't want
us to ever renew that mindset or when we had
our own and you know, when we did for self,
they don't want us to ever you know, get back

(25:35):
into that mindset again. So that's why they distorted our
images and likenesses. But that's why I do you know
why I focus on.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Business ownership and entrepreneurialism.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
Just to show us in a positive light. And I
call that section my highlight section. I call it the
highlight section because I'm highlighting a business owner, entrepren you know,
it's journey into becoming a business owner an entrepreneur, and
some things that I'm providing for you the listener in
the highlight section is just all the specific details one

(26:11):
would know about patronizing their business and you know, any
life experience or educational experiences that they encounter that play
the role into them becoming.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
A business owned or an entrepreneur. So I include things
about you know. You know, it's basically like giving you
a brief minis your bio of them.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
So some pretty much like you would find on if
you went online in the about section or if you
did a wiki about the person, you know, it would
include like, you know, their hometown, where they were born
and raised. You know, at what point did they decide

(27:03):
to do whatever it is, whatever type of business that
they have. You know, how they get their idea, where
they drew their inspiration to start their own business. The
significance of the name of the business, if it has
a significance because many businesses, you know the title of

(27:26):
their business is.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Like an acronym for something or.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
You know, some type of philosophy, how they acquire their business,
like financially, like how they come up with the financial
resources to start it. You know, if it's online business,
I give you specific you know, details that you need

(27:52):
to know for ordering the product online and what to
expect when you go to the website.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Or if it's a brick and mortar location.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
You know.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
How big the place is square feet and all that.
You know what you're open, and you know what community
services and you know seating, parking directions to it, the
travel time, things of that nature, anything you would know

(28:37):
about patronizing the brick and mortar establishment.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
And then also all the businesses.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
That highlight in the highlight section, they must you know,
meet certain criterias. They have to be black owned of course,
from the top to the bottom. They have to employ
their own many businesses is that I highlight in the
highlight section of the Narrative podcast week. In addition our
family owned and operated businesses. So in that instance, I'm

(29:08):
giving you a positive frame of reference of generational wealth.
And then also they must do some type of community
outreach or advocacy. They will either have to have their
own nonprofit organization or pay into one, or do something

(29:33):
you know that impacts or benefits the community that they're
rooted in.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
And then, last but not least, the.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
Business that I'm highlighting the highlight section of the Narrative podcast.
They must coincide with my with my theme, my overall theme.
My overall theme is either nationally recognized days or nationally
recognized month, so I must coincide with whatever the national
recognized day is, what the nationally recognized month is. And

(30:05):
that's you know, the difference between my weekday formatt style
and my weekend formatth style. And as I said, I'm
going to just describe each section as I.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
Come to them, being that it is the weekend, but
I just wanted you to be aware of, you know,
how they differ.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
And now, without any further ado, I'm moving on to
the promotional portion of the Narrative podcast. The very first
thing I'd like to promote is the podcast itself. So
there are many ways that you can support the platform.

(30:52):
One of the most conventional ways is just go to
any podcast streaming audio podcast streaming platforms listen to me.
It's available on all audio podcast streaming platforms. Just go
and listen to the Narrative Podcast. Now, when you're trying

(31:14):
to find my podcast, make sure it's the one hosted
by Hawsey Allen, because there are thousands of podcasts titled
the Narrative Podcast, but none really speaking about the content
that I speak on on this platform. So you want
to hear all black content, you want to hear content
about all things black, make sure you're listening to the

(31:35):
Narrative Podcast hosted by Hawsey ally And so after you
you know you know you're listening to the correct Narrative
podcast on all audio podcast streaming platforms. After you've listened
to the episode, there should be a download feature, and
the download feature is usually a cloud shaped icon with

(31:58):
an arrow pointing down, and the arrow pointing down is
to symbolize the action of downloading. So when you find
that icon on whatever audio podcast streaming site that you
go to, click on that to download the episode. And
after you downloaded the episode, then click the share button

(32:20):
and share or upload the Narrative Podcast hosted by me
Hawsey Allen on whatever social media platform that you like
sharing or uploading contents to and that's how you support
the Narrative Podcast from following me from audio podcast streaming sites.
Another way you can support the Narrative Podcast is to

(32:40):
follow me on X formally Twitter. And the reason why
you want to do that is because this platform is
synced to my EX account, which means every time I
record an episode of the Narrative podcast automatically goes to
my EX account. So every time, single time but I'm
done reporting episode of the Narrative Podcast, it goes directly

(33:04):
to my EX account without any.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
Effort or action action on my end.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
If you see my link to the Narrative Podcast and
on other social media platforms such as like Facebook or
you know, WordPress or any.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Site you might just go to and scroll nine out
of ten.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
I had to manually put the link there, but you know,
on Exit automatically goes up there all by itself. So
go follow me on X and by doing that, you
will be automatically notified when you check your alerts about

(33:55):
the newest episode of the Narrative Podcast when it debuts,
and my EX page profile name is I Stay Good
at Hawsey Allen all lowercase, no spaces, and then your
confirmation you're on the correct X page.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
You should see a little black bod.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
Kin to the top of my page and the title
on that little black wood reads the black card. And
the reason why you need to confirm you're on the
correct X pages because they be out here phoning pages.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
That'll be your.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
Confirmation you're on the correct X phase. So that be
confirm you're on the CORRECTSK page. What I then need
you to do is click on the latest link of
the Narrative podcast. Click on it, and after pawn clicking it,
it shit expand, revealing my podcast logo and my podcast logo.
It's just a silhouette of a microphone. It says the

(34:53):
Narrative podcast on it. And when you see the podcast logo,
click on the like button. The like button is in
the shape of a heart and it will be located
at the top of the podcast logo.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Click on that.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
Once you click on that, the ship cause the podcast
logo to expand. The second time. After you've done that,
click on the light button again, this time to be
located underneath the podcast logo. And then after you clicked
on the like button the second time, then comment leave
me a comment in the comment box. Comment whatever you

(35:32):
like to comment about the narrative podcast episode that you
listen to. Any type of feedback is welcome. If you
can't think of any feedback for me, to leave me,
just type your name in the comment box, put me moji,

(35:53):
put a flag, put.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Something in the comment box. But whatever you do.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
You can literally type the word something in the comment box.
But whatever you do, just engage and interact with the
comment box. The more things you engage on the page,
the more page hits it it generate. The more page
hits generates more CPMs generates, more CPMs generates.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
The more revenue it generates.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
So the more you engage the platform, the more revenue
engage generates to keep the platform growing. And ultimately my
ultimate goal is expand the platform, make that lead from
audio to video and have a traditional podcast with all
the bills and listens, you know, guests and the whole nine.

(36:46):
Be a friend the camera, interviewing guests and all that
good stuff. So you know, but I'm doing alright in
this format, but there's always room for improvement, and that's
my ultimate goal for my platform. After you let the

(37:08):
comment and the comment box, what IVE been need you
to do is it has a download. Beature as well,
just like I told you about the audio podcast streaming sites,
exact same.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
It's a cloud shaped icon with an arrow pointing down.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
So click on the download putting the download the episode
up the narra the podcast. After the episode is downloaded.
What I've been need you to do is share and
upload the episode of the Narrative podcast across all social
media platforms, whichever a social media platform that you enjoy
sharing your upload the content. To do that to the

(37:45):
latest episode of the Narrative podcast. That's how you support
the Narrative podcast. Will following me from u X formerly Twitter,

stay good at Halsey Allen. All right, and the last
way you can support the Narrative Podcast hosted by me,
Hawsey Allen, is to follow me on YouTube or actually

(38:08):
don't even have to follow me on YouTube. Just go
to my YouTube page and my YouTube page's name is
just Halsey Allen. It's my viewer page. I never actually
got around to making the page just exclusively for the
Narrative podcast. But go support the older videos of the

(38:32):
near podcast on YouTube by going to my page Halsey
Allen and to access.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Them, go to my videos.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
They're all in chronological order, going all the way back
to episode one.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
So when you go to my videos, like comment on and.

Speaker 5 (38:51):
Share the older episodes of the Nerk Podcast across all
social media platforms, and you like sharing or uploaded content to.
And again for the comment and the comment box on YouTube,
just any type of feedback you want to leave me,
positive or negative, just type something in the comment box.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
All engagement counts. You know, even though it's on YouTube, All.

Speaker 5 (39:15):
That engagement on YouTube still gets factored into you know,
my pay chicks and all that my I guess it's
called analytics. All that gets factored in the day. So
and that's how you support the Narrative podcast. Will follow

(39:37):
me from YouTube? Now give you a quick little backstory
about why all the episodes on YouTube are old.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
They're old because.

Speaker 5 (39:47):
YouTube recently updated their policies and whatnot about the Narrative Podcast.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
The this platform that I record these episodes on, and.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
So rather than update their software to accommodate YouTube to
new changes, they just decided to remove YouTube. As you know,
a distribute a site you can distribute your content on.
And so I got an email saying they're planning to

(40:23):
you know do it back, you know, have a different
version of it, but for right now.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
You know, it's not available to me.

Speaker 5 (40:35):
And then when the newer version comes out, I guess
I'll be able to share my content on YouTube again.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
But for right now, I cannot.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
Uh so, I cannot upload brand new episodes to YouTube
because YouTube change their community guidelines and combat compatibility requirements
and so this platform or it is not compatible with
YouTube's new compatibility requirements. So that's why I can't, you know,

(41:08):
upload brand new episodes to YouTube from this platform.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
But however, before these changes took.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
Place, I had all my older episodes uploaded the YouTube,
and YouTube did not delete. All my older episodes are
still on there before you to enjoy, like comment and
share and all those older episodes that's on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
Appreciate you in advance.

Speaker 5 (41:33):

on following me from YouTube.

(50:39):
name drop the Narrative Podcast on your content platforms. Appreciate
your advance. Whether you're audio content creator, sist myself or
visual content creator, you know, promote the Narrative podcast on
your content platform. Appreciation you in advance. And now the

(51:01):
promotional portion of the Narrative Podcast is officially over. Now
we're going to dive into the broad overview of the
Narrative Podcast before diving into today's content. So getting things started,
tell you the reason why I name my podcast the
Narrative Podcast. Name my podcast the Narrative Podcast because I

(51:23):
didn't like the false narrative surrounded surrounding the way our
people's images and likenesses are circulated across multiple media platforms.
So you know, that's why I name my podcast the
Narrative Podcast. With the overall mission to change the overall

(51:48):
perception and depiction of our people's images and likenesses, thus
changing the narrative, hence.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
The title the Narrative Podcast.

Speaker 5 (52:02):
The very first thing you need to be aware of
when listening to the Narrative Podcast is, you know my
catchphrase that I coined for my listening audience, my narrators.
That's how I agree with you all. How I came
up with that is, you know, I was inspired by
the actual text. With definition of the word narrator, the

(52:25):
word narrator just basically means somebody that tells or narrates
a story. And the reason why they narrate the story.
They're just contextualizing it for the audience and telling the
audience everything they need to know to closely follow and
keep up with the plot of the story. And how

(52:49):
I fliped that to you know, make it pertain to
what it is I'm doing on this platform. I always
use this a knowledge or story regards you. I can't
remember where I got it from. I think it was
a seminar or something I attended a long time ago,
But you know, it's just always stuck with me.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
If you don't tell your own story, your story will
be told for you.

Speaker 5 (53:17):
And that's how I feel, you know, as it relates
to our people and our culture is our story is
being told or narrated by the media, or rather the
people that run the media. So you know, that's why
it's important for us as a people to tell or

(53:39):
narrate our own stories. Because why we cannot control how
the media depicts us, you know, and how they are
telling or narrating our story. We absolutely can control the
what the narrative surrounding our people in our culture by

(54:00):
telling or narrating our own stories.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
On our own platforms. So that's why I call my
target listening audience my narratores.

Speaker 5 (54:10):
Now I'm gonna give you an example on how to
be a you know, to narrate property on your platform.
So first and foremost, I coined the term narrator. So
I'm obviously narrating on this platform. Every time you listen

(54:31):
to an episode of the Narrative podcast, I'm providing an
audio positive frame of reference about our people and our culture.
Not only a positive frame of reference about our people
and our culture, but positive frames of reference about our
people and our culture that directly challenge and destroy the

(54:56):
assumptions of the negative stereotypes to stick is attached. It's
usually attached to with our people's images and our likenesses.
So not only just sharing positive frames of reference about
our people and our culture, but positive frames of reference
that directly challenge or contradicts negative stick stereotypes about our

(55:20):
people on our culture.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
And that's how I change the narrative with this platform.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
I'm changing the narrative on my end, one episode at
it as a time as a narrator, now to properly
be a narrator, you know, on your end of it.
While I'm changing the narrative my end one episode at
a time, you can change the narrative on your end
when social media post at a time by sharing positive

(55:48):
visual frames of reference about our people and our culture.
So positive frames, positive visual frames of reference, especially if
you're content that directly, you know, contradict a negative stereotype
about our people and our cultures. So like for example,

(56:10):
like here's a negative stereotype about our people that we're
always late.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
You can.

Speaker 5 (56:19):
Upload positive visual images of us not only being on time,
but sticking to a strict schedule. Some type of visual
image you know, ah that shows us you know, being

(56:42):
studious people, you know, on time with time to speak.
There's a negative stereotype about our people not knowing how
to swim. You can upload positive visual imagery you know,
of us not only swimming, but breaking a swimming record,

(57:04):
so things of that nature.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
Just challenge and.

Speaker 5 (57:09):
Destroy these negative stereotypes and stigmas about our people and
our culture visually on your own media platform. And that's
how you become an effective narrator on your end. You
can't think of any example that I name. One of
the most effective ways to change the narrative visually on
your end is the upload images of you being happy,

(57:34):
enjoying your life, living your best life, being content, you know,
and at peace with yourself and surroundings and living your
best life, you know, not bothering anybody, and just being
in the calm, serene state, you know, because that, more

(57:57):
than anything, disrupts this pro because they want us to
be distraught, They want us to be angry, they want
us to be sad, they want us to be you know.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Without hope, or just living in deprivity, not having.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
An answer, not having a clue, you know, but you
just being happy and enjoying yourself and demonstrating, you know,
being in the space where nothing can bother you and
get to you that you know, derails, you know, the
agenda to mentally and psychologically breakles. You know, they're like, dang,

(58:43):
back to the drawing board. Everything we did to try
to stop and slow down these people didn't work.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
So on to the next.

Speaker 5 (58:53):
Thing you know about the narrative podcast is I refer
to our people on this platform as original peace people,
as supposed to being just black. I feel the word
original people describes us more accurately as a people. It's
nothing wrong with being black. There's no like a whole

(59:16):
lot of you know, negative connotation. There's just as much
positive connotation as using the word black as it is negative,
more positive connotations around the work using black black.

Speaker 3 (59:32):
You know, I just feel the work original suits us
better as a people on some new levels.

Speaker 5 (59:40):
First and foremost, Original hits at being unique, genuine, and
one of a kind. And I feel, you know, our
people has all those attributes of the textbook definition of
the word original. In that sense, we are the biggest
you know, cultural and influencers in the entire world. Everybody

(01:00:03):
follows us coachingly. Every you know trend we set people follow.
The only trends we follow as a people are trends
that we set as a people. Somebody from our community
set that trend for us to follow, so we don't follow,
you know, other people's trends. We're not influenced by other

(01:00:25):
groups of people. Other groups of people are influenced by us.
So we're original in that sense. And then original also
means the first, and I think that's very accurate when
describing our people, because we were and are the first
people to ever exist in the entire world. We're here

(01:00:46):
thousands of years before any other group of people living
in the world, where as a matter of fact, all
other groups of people were derived directly from us, you know,
and if we didn't exist, no one else would ever exist.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
So we're original in that sense.

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
We originally we were the original everything when time first
began with the original you know, scholars with the original explorers,
with the original astronomers, astrologers, teachers with the original architects.
You know, there's not too many things our people didn't

(01:01:29):
originate if we didn't directly, you know, inventity, invented invent something,
we definitely improved it. We improved it so vastly. You
might as well say we inventity, because it wouldn't work
proper without you know, our modifications to it. So you know,

(01:01:56):
we're original in the historical sense of the word. But
now since we're talking history, every episode I must uh,
you know, this show is dedicated to destroying you know,
false narratives about our people and our culture.

Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
And there's no bigger false narrative.

Speaker 5 (01:02:21):
About our people and our culture than the false narrative
surrounding slavery. You know, they want us to believe that
slavery was the most quintessential time of our people's existence.
They want to negate the fact that we were kings
and queens, rulers, guys and guys. They want to skip

(01:02:44):
over all that and to sign us slavery as the
most poignant relevant time of our existence, especially when we're
talking origin, like you know, they want to say that,
you know, slavery is directly responsible for our people existing

(01:03:05):
anywhere in the entire world other than Africa, despite the
fact we were here thousands of years before anybody ever existed.
We existed thousands of years before the people responsible for
the slave trade ever existed period, Like they didn't you know,

(01:03:30):
the people that you know were responsible for the slave trade.
Where Europeans and white Spaniards we existed thousands of years
before they ever existed, So that means we populated the
entire earth. That means we left the original point of

(01:03:52):
origin and went to different places in the entire world
and populated those places before the concept of slavery ever existed.
But they want us to believe that the only reason
why you know, groups of our people, you know, existing,

(01:04:14):
the Caribbeans and Haiti and any Spanish speaking nation continent
of Asia, Europe, meso America, the United States of America
for sure, that we only got there because a slave shit,

(01:04:38):
you know, dropped us.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
Off all along these ports. That's just not true.

Speaker 5 (01:04:43):
We were here thousands of years before that. They pretty
much lied about pretty much everything about slavey, lied about
you know, how long it went on.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
They're lied about the routes, they lie about, you.

Speaker 5 (01:05:04):
Know, everything because when you really think about it, have
you ever actually seen a slave boat and been that
the slave trade went on for like hundreds of years,
But there's not one.

Speaker 3 (01:05:22):
Slave boat in history in any museum anywhere in the
entire world.

Speaker 5 (01:05:28):
But they have remnants of you know, the slave Transatlantic
slave trade and remnants of you know, chattel slavery in museums,
But They don't have any actual.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
Pieces of a slave boat, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:05:47):
Now, they have remnants of all the famous explorers that
explored the world. They have remnants of you know, Christopher Columbus,
Columbus and shit, the Nina, the Peena, and Santa Maria.
They got remnants of those ships. But they can't produce
any remnants of slave boats. One of the most.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
You know, lucrative forms of currency in the world, slavery.
They can't produce, not one.

Speaker 5 (01:06:21):
But they want us to all believe we was all
captured and put on slave boats, and we survived. Enough
of us survived on the slave boats to keep on
making it worthwhile for slavers to keep traveling to Africa
one hundreds of years and keep on transportings and delivering

(01:06:45):
us to whoever was paying money for African slaves. So
while they did bring some of us from Africa, not
all of us but are directly descended from Africa. The
majority of us we're already living in wherever we're currently

(01:07:05):
residing now, especially those of us living in the United
States of America. Majority of us we got reclassified. The
people that they teach us are Native Americans, are not
native to this land. And all they are Siberians. They

(01:07:29):
came from a whole different part of the world. The
natives that were originally inhabiting the United States of America
and got put on plantation with African slaves, and that's

(01:07:49):
how that came about. So it's like fifty to fifty
less than fifty percent actually that was came over for Africa.
The majority of us was already indigenously located here. But
they keep on teaching it like that. So when they're saying,
you know, the Pilgrims came over here and they raped

(01:08:12):
the Indians, they talking about us, the majority of us.

Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
We didn't even start seeing.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
The so called Indians until, like, you know, they started
making Hollywood movies and they were always like, you know,
just to us, shade above white with long, straight black hair.
When every explorer to ever visit this region described the

(01:08:44):
native inhabitants of this land as a copper skinned people,
a copper complexed people, or darker.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
But you know, it is what it is, and it
was what it was.

Speaker 5 (01:09:06):
But you know, that's a false narrative. Are so many
false narratives about slavery. Another false narrative is that we
were docile during slavery.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
One of the biggest reasons they ended.

Speaker 5 (01:09:19):
Slavery is because we were voted all throughout slavery and
it wasn't worth the money anymore because we was sitting
up there burning all those Antebella mansions down unlively, all
the inhabitants of you know, the plantations. Now on the

(01:09:43):
financial side of it, yeah, because the South couldn't keep
up with the North. They couldn't keep up with.

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
The supply and demand, you know, So that's why they
want to end.

Speaker 5 (01:10:04):
And the South one to succeed and be their own
sovereign nation apart from the Nord. But you know, it
was primarily because we were revolting. It was also the
false narrative surrounding the good nature of the white evolutionists.

(01:10:31):
And you know Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln was a slave owner.
He owned slaves, and it was a political move on
his part and the white evolutionists to help, you know,
blacks escape from the South to the Nord. That also

(01:10:51):
was a political player. They didn't do without the kindness
of their heart. They didn't do it because they had
Christian values, and they did it for money because it
was mostly like poor white people helping slaves escape.

Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
The reason why they was helping the slaves escape is because.

Speaker 5 (01:11:15):
They figured in their minds if they helped in slavery,
they would be able to get jobs because the slaves
were taking all available jobs.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
It was cheaper. They just have slaves labor in the
South rather than any other group of people.

Speaker 5 (01:11:36):
So there wasn't nothing for average just white people to do,
you know, non educated if they didn't have a you know,
fancy degree or something, they couldn't find work doing anything because.

Speaker 3 (01:11:53):
You know, it was just cheaper to have slaves do it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:04):
So that's why the white evolutions primary reasoning for UH
helping to skep the slaves escape had nothing to do
with morality, because they felt bad about slavery.

Speaker 3 (01:12:25):
And I can go on and on and on.

Speaker 5 (01:12:27):
I just really want to scratch the surface and really
get that point across, you know, the lies that they
tell about slavery, and it's not really in slavery.

Speaker 3 (01:12:40):
It's just the time our people were enslave, you know.
But they primarily do it to.

Speaker 5 (01:12:47):
You know, make us appear weak, make us appear, you know,
like white people did us a favor by enslaving us
in the first place. Rescuing us from the savages of
the jungle in Africa by bringing us to this continent.

(01:13:10):
You know, so many lize not enough time. The only
accurate thing they got right about slavery is how they
used to torture us during slavery. They absolutely got that,
one hundred percent truth. All that is true. They used

(01:13:31):
to do all that stuff that's depicted in books. You know,
the books don't even do how we were treated justice.
They were even more cruel than what it's written about
that how they used to torture black slaves.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
But yeah, that's just me the spelling the myth of slavery.
And then on to.

Speaker 5 (01:14:03):
My last reason, to refer to our people as original people.
I refer to our people as original people to unify
us as you know, a people, because that's one thing
that we can all say confidently and we and it
applies to all of this, no matter what language we speak,

(01:14:26):
no matter what we identify as, that applies to all
of us. We can all say we're original, we can
all say we're here first. We can all trust our
limnaes back to the original point of origin for our civilization.
We're gonna argue and debate where that original point is
for it to the end of time, but we can

(01:14:46):
all trust our lineage back to it. We all possess
high concentrations of carving aka Melanie, and we all face
the same systemic fight. Everywhere our people are located in
the entire world, there's some type of systemic government, you know, legislation, rules,

(01:15:16):
system in place to suppress the progression of our people.

Speaker 3 (01:15:24):
We all have that. We all struggle and fight against that.
So while we do need to preserve our.

Speaker 5 (01:15:34):
Rich cultures and upbringings and be proud of our lineages,
we shouldn't let it blind us to the fact.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
To see that we're all one people.

Speaker 5 (01:15:48):
So you know, while you know, certain of us deserve
certain things like nowadas for Black Americans, we absolutely nerve
are entitled to, you know, reparations.

Speaker 3 (01:16:02):
Of slavery here in America. You know, you're entitled to.

Speaker 5 (01:16:07):
What you're entitled to in your region, whatever country that
you're located in.

Speaker 3 (01:16:13):
You know, but at the end of the day, we
all original people.

Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
Because people outside of our culture, you don't open your
mouth and start talking, they don't know where you're from.
They can't hear that, you know, they won't know that
you know your native tongue is Spanish. They won't know
your native tongue is French. They won't know your native
town it's Poortuguese, you know. But yeah, but they will

(01:17:01):
just upon first clan glance to just say you're black,
and so for that. You know, we're all original people,
and I try to refer to our people as original
people as often as possible here on this platform. And
that's why I refer to our people as original people
on the Nerik podcast. The next thing you know about
the Nerik podcast, this is positive, safe space for original people.

(01:17:26):
I don't gossip, slander, defame, or try to integrate our
people in any way. I especially don't, you know, promote gossip.
I try to really discourage against gossip because gossip is

(01:17:47):
which destroying our people. You know, this platform is all
about the edification of our people, building us up, not
tearing this down, and reinforcing you know, positivity and using

(01:18:08):
positive reinforcement to uplift our people, to give them something
to feel proud about, you know, because we got so
much cringe content out here. You just cringe when you
see it online. It's buffoonery, it's degeneracy, it's violence, it's ludness,
it's rudeness, it's you know, just so cringe worthy content

(01:18:31):
floating around. I want my content to be like wow,
you know, to really inspire, uplifting, motivate. So I don't
do name calling and put downs and all that. This
is a positive safe space for original people. Now, having

(01:18:53):
said that, there is an exception to every rule. So
the exception to the no name calling rule and no
put down is like, if someone from our community identifies
yourself as an enemy to our community, you know, then
I gotta take the kid gloves off.

Speaker 3 (01:19:10):
I mean, it just is what it is.

Speaker 5 (01:19:13):
Other than that, I try to use this platform to
uplook and edifive our people.

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
In the realm of.

Speaker 5 (01:19:21):
You know, positive reinforcement, because if you intentionally embrace negative
stereotypes and push and promote negative stereotypes on your platform
for monetary gain, then I can't support you.

Speaker 3 (01:19:43):
I can't speak positively about.

Speaker 5 (01:19:45):
You, you know, when I'm forced to be in a
situation where I gotta do to deliver commentary on your
reckless actions because you said, to hell with my people,
to hell with my family. I'm getting this money.

Speaker 3 (01:20:10):
To held my children. If I got children, I don't care.

Speaker 5 (01:20:14):
You know, we can buy our happiness, we can buy
our way out of oppression, which is totally not true.

Speaker 1 (01:20:20):
You can't.

Speaker 5 (01:20:21):
Like that's what's really wrong in our community. A whole
lot of people in our community, they only aspire to
want to be financially wealthy because they believe in their
minds that they can buy themselves out of oppression.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
And you can't. You can't escape it, you can't outrun it.

Speaker 5 (01:20:41):
It's every ready. But you know, like I said, that's
the exception to the rule. And somebody's intentionally playing up
these negative stereotypes and stigmas about our people for a
monetary game, then I gotta roach other than that it's

(01:21:06):
a positive state space or or what original people in
the last not least and narrative podcast and the time
since of the platform as a as I said earlier,
you know all my sections as uh split up, all my.

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
Topics is split in sections.

Speaker 5 (01:21:24):
Each section has speaking for us, a timey section to
make it more efficient to listen to, so you don't
have to clear your entire schedule to listen to an
episode of the their podcast. I don't got all day
to talk, and I know you don't got all day listeners.
I wanna very efficiently get to the point. I wanna

(01:21:45):
deliver the message, not beat you upside here, upside the
head with the message. Try to make my content digestible
and easy to follow, easy to listen to, easy to apply.
Not only do I want to make it informative, also

(01:22:05):
want to make it entertaining enough for you to want
to revisit and listen to another episode. So that's what
I'm tasked with, and I think I've been doing a
fine job at delivering it. But that's it, and that's
all the Narrative Podcast, and it's entirety everything you should
know about it listening to it. If it's still unclear
about some things, I'm well over five hundred episodes in.

(01:22:28):
You can listen to each episode to bring yourself up
to speed in my episode.

Speaker 3 (01:22:32):
Log, just remember to download the episode, download.

Speaker 5 (01:22:36):
This episode and all previously report the episodes of the
Narrative Podcast, where each podcast source is from.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Without any further ado.

Speaker 5 (01:22:43):
We're gonna dive into this weekend edition of the Narrative
Podcast with my very first section of the Narrative Podcast,
which I already briefly broke down the highlight section and
just to quickly reiterate the Highlight section. What I'm doing
in this section is I'm highlighting business owners and entrepreneurs,

(01:23:09):
hence the turn title highlight section. And as I said
also in the intro, uh, one of the biggest qualifying
factors to you know, highlight a business in the highlight
section of the narrative podcast is the business must coincide

(01:23:34):
with my overall theme, and that's nationally recognized days or months.
So today is actually a nationally recognized month, and today's

(01:23:55):
nationally recognized month is National Comic Con Month. So all
the businesses that I will be highlighting today in the
highlight section are businesses that specialize in the production and

(01:24:16):
selling of.

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
Comic Con. So today's going to be a different day.

Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
It's going to be ultra shorts because all the qualifying
factors that I named, you know in the beginning when
I did the comparison and contrast of my format styles
kind of don't really apply with the nationally recognized month.
So a whole lot of that information is not going

(01:24:48):
to be you know, highlighted in the highlight section that's
usually highlighted.

Speaker 3 (01:24:51):
The highlight section just wanted you.

Speaker 5 (01:24:54):
To forewarn be forewarned about that, but you know, it's
still coincide with the overall theme of the Narrative podcast,
which is to deliver positive frame of reference about our
people and our culture. But now, before I dive into
the highlight section of the Narrative Podcast week, in addition,
I'm going to give you some a brief background on

(01:25:16):
how this nationally recognized month came to be so National
Comic Con Month began in the nineteen seventies, has a
small gathering in San Diego, California, and the person really

(01:25:39):
responsible for creating this national phenomenon is a person by
the name of Shell Dirf, who is.

Speaker 3 (01:26:01):
A writer.

Speaker 5 (01:26:04):
Who funded and led the movement as well. Sometimes I
can't read my own handwriting, guys. So it began in
nineteen seventy as a small gathering in San Diego, California
by a person by the name of Shell Darf, who
is a comic book fan and a comic book writer.

(01:26:28):
Led to the effort, he teamed up with the group
of friends to make it come true. Together, they planned
on a one day event called Golden State Mini Con.
It was held in a hotel basement and drew around

(01:26:52):
three hundred people. The first first meeting focused on comics,
science fiction, and film. It set the stage for something bigger.
The group soon organized a longer event later that same year.

(01:27:12):
The second gathering became known as San Diego Comic Con.
It quickly attracted artist, writers and fans across the country
through the nineteen seventies and the nineteen eighties, and the
convention kept growing and it is what it is now.
And then it became nationally recognized in the nineteen nineties,

(01:27:35):
specifically nineteen ninety one, and later on it was renamed
Comic Con International. And so that's how National Comic Con
Month came to be. And the first business will be

(01:27:59):
highlighting in the highlights section is actually a con a
black con in con if you are not keeping up,
is just short for convention because when you know, we
hear con in our community automatically on a subconscious level.

(01:28:20):
Just think convict, nah wen talking about convicts. We're talking
about a convention. And so the first convention I'll be
highlighting today on the weekend weekend edition of The Narrative
podcast is a convention held annually in Arlington, Virginia.

Speaker 3 (01:28:43):
By the name of Blurred Con.

Speaker 5 (01:28:48):
So the very first Blurred Con was hosted and co
founded by Hassan Perish and Hilton George. The very first
Blurred Con took place in twenty seventeen and it's still

(01:29:09):
popular today. A little bit brief background about one of
the co founders, Hilton George, grew up in North Carolina
in the late eighties who was a huge B and
D fan. B and D stands for dungeons and Dragons,
so the board game, trading card game. And he was

(01:29:39):
also a big, huge fan of Transformers. The Diaclone line,
which was the prototype for the American Transformers that we
have today. There was originally you know, came out in
Japan and like the lates seventies early eighties under a

(01:30:00):
line called Diaclom and then later on got brand rebranded
when they bought it to America and they called it
the Transformers. And so he was a big he was
into the diaphlon So that's like black nerd stuff. That's
what Blurred stands for. A black nerd.

Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
By the way, and not gonna lie to you, I
used to be kind of a bully back in the day.
I probably would like, you know, not be nice, but.

Speaker 5 (01:30:42):
You know, it's really refreshing, this little blurred movement to
give our youth something to do other than participate in crime,
participate in the generous.

Speaker 3 (01:31:02):
I'd rather than being living in their.

Speaker 5 (01:31:04):
Own fictional little world then out here committing crimes and
out here tworking on top of tables and out here,
you know, openly embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (01:31:19):
You know, the ancestors. So I'm all for blur culture.

Speaker 5 (01:31:37):
They ain't bothering nobody, that ain't hurting nobody, going out
having a good time, enjoying a little cosplay and make
believe world.

Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
I'm all for that.

Speaker 5 (01:31:48):
I'm definitely all for that as opposed to you know,
fighting and drinking and making a fool out of itself.
I mean, you can still make a fool out of
yourself out of con you know if you just yeah,
you can't, but you know, not just overtly causing trouble

(01:32:09):
or seeking to disrupt something. It's you know, it's becoming
a more open space. I got some nieces. They are
into the Japanese anime. My youngest niece, she lives and
breathes and stuff. You know, sometimes I gotta bring her
back to the black side, you know, I don't try

(01:32:32):
to discourage her from you know, Eastern anime.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
You know, she's all about the the anime culture.

Speaker 5 (01:32:43):
You know, all the little foods that they eating anime,
the ramen and all the Japanese and Asian inspired snacks.
She's all with that and reading the manga. So I
just dabble in and try to connect and relate to her,

(01:33:06):
and by dabbling has shown me it ain't all that bad.
Some of it can be kind of fun. But you know,
that's really all that I have to share about that

(01:33:29):
particular venue. And onto the second event I'll be highlighting
in the highlights section on this weekend edition of The
Narrative podcast. The next con I'll be highlighting is a
con called dream Con. Dream Con was established in twenty

(01:33:53):
eighteen and founded on organized by Mark fiter Lips in
conjunction with members various members really.

Speaker 3 (01:34:04):
Too many of the name. The idea was conceived.

Speaker 5 (01:34:09):
Earlier, but the first dream Con take place in twenty
eighteen in Waco, Texas. Mark Phillips was born and raised
in Texas. He's also a content creator. His skits are
very hilarious.

Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
You know, it's really you know, just like.

Speaker 5 (01:34:36):
Black people, you know, how they perceive the Japanese anime
and all that stuff. Different anime series. That's what the
skits are about, you know, giving them you know, hip
hop slang and putting them in different scenarios. But he
don't just stop at just the the black nerd stuff.

(01:34:58):
He also has like some content just about regular everyday stuff.
You got a hilarious skit with you know, the two
different experiences you might experience when you go to the

(01:35:19):
qs arment restaurants to McDonald's versus Chick fil A.

Speaker 3 (01:35:26):
That skit is hilarious.

Speaker 5 (01:35:29):
Young man is genius, you know, having fun, you know,
staying you know, authentically black, not quite nerdy. I mean
there's some nerdy ish to it, but he's like when
you see his skins, he's still like HIPing with the times,

(01:35:52):
you know what I'm saying, Like he's just he's straight
up Texas when you see it, like if you ever
been to Texas, Like he's a Texas to just watch
his anime. He also does a whole lot of hip hop,

(01:36:14):
real oriented stuff. He reacts to different things in hip hop,
like when hip hop news, you know, they do skits
around that, you know. Ah, you know, he's a really
good content creator and creating a lane, you know, as
I said, for the youth to be involved in and

(01:36:37):
I would rather than be involved in anime going to
safe venues like conventions to enjoy themselves, then to be
in bars and roaming the streets being subjected to law enforcement.
As it's getting progressively worse in this country. For our
people to be in a controlled environment where they ain't

(01:37:02):
doing nothing but like playing trading card games and dressing
up like you know, their favorite comic book hero or
anime series, you know, as opposed to gang banging and
selling dope and you know, embodying something criminalistic. And for

(01:37:39):
my final con, I will be highlighting in the highlight
section on this weekend edition of The Narrative podcast. The
Last con is called the e B A c C
or the East Coast Black Age of Comics. It was
established in two twenty twenty two. His hometown is Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (01:38:11):
And the first.

Speaker 5 (01:38:14):
Creator listed is a person by the name of Young
Odam Yu M M O d O N. Young is
an educator, curator, and an activist. He even did his
college thesis on black comics in two thousand and one

(01:38:37):
and would later go on to form the eb ACC
one year later. EBA CC now doubles as a nonprofit
five toh one C three nonprofit organization and has launched
several educational initiatives like Stars, which is an accurate for

(01:39:05):
storytelling that advances reading skills. The program blends STEM, which
is an acronym for science, Technology, Engineering, and mathematics, Arts.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
And art into comic based learning. So that will do it.
With all the cons.

Speaker 5 (01:39:33):
That I have, you know, feature in this section of
the Narrative podcast, and then in true spirit, you know,
with the highlight section, I want to acknowledge some social
media influencers that are leading the charge in blurred culture.

Speaker 3 (01:39:58):
Each one of them got views out of this world,
got over.

Speaker 5 (01:40:03):
A million followers, and you know, it's doing dynamic things
with their platforms. So online, if you're on Instagram or Facebook,
do yourself a huge favor and follow the Black Experience.
I don't know the brother's name who heads that page,

(01:40:25):
but he does all sorts of you know, comic related stuff,
and not only does stuff about comics, but you know,
just black culture in general. Black you know, we are
pop cultures, so pop culture and just he always got
little nuggets and tidbits you never, you know, ever heard of.

Speaker 3 (01:40:50):
He talks about hip hop.

Speaker 5 (01:40:51):
Two so you know, check that out, check as sistem
out with the social media handled by the name of
Fantastic frank Frankie. She is a multi faceted, multi talented

(01:41:12):
comic book. Her comic blurred, I guess black nerd, but
she's super with the times, very fashionable, young lady, very
nice put together. You know, she's always doing some high
end fashion stuff. She's in New Yorker, so she's born

(01:41:32):
and raised in New York, so all her commentary and things,
you know, surrounding that world are all from the hip
hop perspective. She commentates on deliveries like some real riveting
ah commentary on you know, the aesthetics of comics, and

(01:41:56):
she does it from a black perspective, and she's just
really plays up how they try to play us out
in that you know, art form, and she talks about
the characters.

Speaker 3 (01:42:08):
Complexities and depths, and you know, she just really really
she knows her ish.

Speaker 5 (01:42:16):
So she got into it her you know, her father
was an avid comic book collector, so that's what got
her into it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:23):
But you know, she's still very very feminine. She's still
you know, trending with the time.

Speaker 5 (01:42:31):
She does everyonce in the blue moon does some cosplay stuff,
but she's mostly like wearing hip hop apparel, you know,
like I said, very like well put together, nice looking
young lady, but you know, extremely intelligent. She uses uses

(01:42:55):
her comic book stuff the platform into other genres of media.
She does podcasting, hosts you know, red carpet of events.
She's interviewed all kinds of people in pop culture, you know,
from TV to film to animated cartoon series.

Speaker 1 (01:43:21):
She even.

Speaker 5 (01:43:23):
Like one of her biggest interviews was with the late
Kevin Conroy, just like a few months before he passed away.

Speaker 3 (01:43:31):
For those that don't know, he's the guy that bought.

Speaker 5 (01:43:34):
Voiced the animated voice to the nineteen nineties animated series Batman.
And then lastly, shout out a brother by the name
of Tony Weaver the third and I actually did.

Speaker 3 (01:43:54):
You know, pay tribute to him on this platform.

Speaker 5 (01:43:58):
I got a series called the Spotlight section, which I'll
be breaking down momentarily after this section. But you know,
he is a social media guru. He also is well
versed in comics. And not only that, he's a social
media influencer. Got millions of views on you know, all

(01:44:26):
his platforms. So he makes really really like you be
touching on some really big numbers, like and counting nobody's pockets.
But he's like, you know, breaking the back with his content.
He actually has an academy to teach young people about
how to utilize social media to talk about content and

(01:44:49):
all that.

Speaker 3 (01:44:50):
The way he does.

Speaker 5 (01:44:52):
You don't just talk about comic book stuff. He also
has black history fact toys and the perspective.

Speaker 3 (01:44:59):
He coming online is to empower young people and not.

Speaker 5 (01:45:05):
Be ashamed of liking that type of stuff, as we do,
like try to shame people within our.

Speaker 3 (01:45:12):
Community for being different. You know, people that like that
are into that type of stuff. We try to.

Speaker 5 (01:45:19):
Bully them and shame them and call them nerds and
all that, you know, and it ain't all of it.
Ain't bad some of it, you know, it's like really entertaining.
And the thing about comic books they you know, they
encourage literacy is you got to read them, so they

(01:45:42):
help our children read. And the types of comics that
they are reading these days about our people in a culture,
depict our people in the culture, and a positive light
is more and more, you know, black people are creating
their own comics. You know, showcasing and highlighting the plaque

(01:46:06):
we go through as a people through the comics that
they create. So you know, that's real innovative approach to it.
And like I said, he is a social media powerhouse,
so go check his page out. His name again is
Tony Weaver, the third So shout out to Tony Weaver,

(01:46:28):
Shout out to the Black experience, and shout out to
be a Black experience. Big ups from the Narrative Podcast
host to Maharziallen. All Right, moving on to the next
section of The Narrative Podcast weekend edition. This section is

(01:46:50):
called the Spotlight section. What I'm doing in this section,
it's I'm spotlighted a prominent figure within our community that
is responsible for or impacts our community in a positive way,

(01:47:13):
either through their advocacy, actions.

Speaker 3 (01:47:17):
Or deeds or their presence online. So you know, the
spotlight is really.

Speaker 5 (01:47:27):
Designed to promote positive reinforcement because too often, more than not,
you know, we catch hell on all sides as a people.
There's nobody really to positively reinforce us other than than us.
But instead, you know the best place to do it

(01:47:48):
is online. But instead we dedicate you know, our online
platforms to tearing each other down rather than building.

Speaker 3 (01:47:57):
Each other up.

Speaker 5 (01:48:01):
And it's not entirely our fault because, as I said,
you know, all the content that I discussed on this platform,
I you know, center everything around the bigger picture perspective,
which is systemic oppression and psychological programming and conditioning.

Speaker 3 (01:48:19):
Those are the two big pillars and factors. And so
what they've done is they have sensationalized messiness.

Speaker 5 (01:48:31):
On the Internet and they have made our people the
most impactful, influential people in the entire world the you know, inadvertly, man,
it's the poster or the blueprint for online messiness.

Speaker 3 (01:48:52):
First and foremost.

Speaker 5 (01:48:53):
Everybody out of online account, no matter you know what
network you're on, is messy to a degree.

Speaker 3 (01:49:03):
But the only difference between all other.

Speaker 5 (01:49:06):
Groups of people in US as a people is that
we we stand out more because we're more noticeable. We're
more noticeable because we're more marketable. And when you think
about it, who do they always use to sell anything
in any industry name it they don't actually know. Corporation

(01:49:32):
actually starts generating cells until a black person endorses their product.
And so what sells faster than anything what they say
sales sex sells, degeneracy sells violent cells.

Speaker 3 (01:49:51):
So take the most negative.

Speaker 5 (01:49:55):
Concepts, bundle them all up, and then have the most
influential people in the entire world market and sell that product.

Speaker 3 (01:50:07):
Us our people.

Speaker 5 (01:50:13):
So you know, that's why this section is dedicated to,
you know, promoting positive reinforcement, you know, by congratulating somebody
from our community, impacting our community in a positive way.
And also to normalize you know, positivity reinforcing someone from

(01:50:37):
our community because these days, you know, this is where
I kind of hate hip hop sometimes because like sometimes
it gives our reverse.

Speaker 3 (01:50:49):
Meanings, like only in our community. You know, you're a square,
you're a lane, or you're a sucker.

Speaker 5 (01:51:00):
For congratulating somebody, say, hey man, you know you look nice.
I like those kids you brown nosing, or you trying
to get something out of somebody just for you know,
paying an honest compliment to somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:51:19):
But in that same token, then you're keeping it real.

Speaker 5 (01:51:23):
If you're coming out the side of your neck talking
down or overly criticizing somebody, then you're keeping it real.
Then you're real in word, you know what I'm saying,
But you're a fake in word. If you want to,
you know, uplift your brother or sister, say something nice
or positive about it. You see how backwards that thinking is.

(01:51:47):
You see how our minds have been corrupted by the
media to think saying something nice about somebody makes you
a square or a lane, but being rude and me nasty,
it makes you a real n word.

Speaker 3 (01:52:04):
That don't make no sense. But that's pretty much the
spotlight section what it's all about. And you know, not
for nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:52:21):
I kind of popularize the term spotlightening because before I
add a spotlight section to my podcast, Narrative Podcast, nobody,
nobody what spotlighting anybody. But now every time you know,
you turn on the podcast see an interview, you know

(01:52:44):
you hear that term spotlighten. You know, I made a
gay traction. It just wasn't as popular until I started
using it. You can, you know, do your own due
diligence if you got time, listen to my episodes, cross
reference it, you know, put it into Google, put it
in the chat GBT, and see if.

Speaker 3 (01:53:04):
I got a lead to stand on, which I do.

Speaker 5 (01:53:11):
And you know, I'm not far off with that assertion,
because the thing about the Internet, it makes the world small.
The Internet makes the world small, especially if you create content.
Anytime you put content out, you always have an audience.

(01:53:35):
Regardless of what the stats or your analytics say. There's
always somebody. If you're a visual content creator, every time
you put out a visual piece of work, there's always
somebody watching it. If you're an audio content creator like
I am, there's always somebody listening.

Speaker 3 (01:53:50):
To your content.

Speaker 5 (01:53:52):
Now how they support your content, that's a different story.
But somebody is always listening. And the people that are
always listening to my content just happen to be celebrities
with being my community, our community, the black community, or

(01:54:14):
as I refer to our people on this platform, the
original people community. And I know they're listening to avidly
listening to my content that I produce on a regular
basis because they avidly and regularly incorporate.

Speaker 3 (01:54:28):
My content into their content.

Speaker 5 (01:54:31):
They might not just full our name drop me, but
it's apparent that they listen to the platform, and they
make it apparent and make it apparently so that they're
listening to every single episode in influencing them and impacting
their life because they're taking notice to everything I say.

(01:54:54):
So they're not just incorporating my content into their you know,
they're incorporating the nuances of my speech pattern into their
content and not just what I'm saying, but how I'm saying.
What I say is making it into their content. And

(01:55:16):
like I said, there's black people in our community, famous celebrities,
from a listeners to like you know, in between. So
I'm not looking for validation. I know I asked for it,
you know, in the beginning, to promote the narrative podcast,

(01:55:37):
but it's not required I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:55:39):
Doing, you know, I'm not here for the lights.

Speaker 5 (01:55:45):
And then while we're added to like just because you
got a million followers, that don't equate to a million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:55:53):
So that's never a.

Speaker 5 (01:55:57):
That's never a clapback when you tell somebody that, or
when you ask what your analytics is looking like, or
tell somebody you ain't even got no followers that that
your followers don't equate to your actual engagement because half
of them be bots anyway. But anyway, like I said,

(01:56:27):
I created the tone for spotlighting and it's a tone
echoed throughout you know, our community, and that's kind of
you know, that's good enough for me that I have
so many people at that level paying attention to me,
because the whole purpose of this section is to positively

(01:56:50):
reinforce people from our community. And if I got people
at that level paying attention to me and they're following
suit on their platforms, then mission accomplish.

Speaker 3 (01:57:06):
I just had to let that be nun.

Speaker 2 (01:57:17):
With the narrative.

Speaker 3 (01:57:21):
Whatever in a real way.

Speaker 5 (01:57:26):
So anyway, moving right along to the Spotlight section of
the Narrative Podcast weekend addition, I'll be spotlighting a brother
or just I gotta tell you a little bit more
dynamics about the spotlight section. Originally, when I started this section,
I only used to reserve it for celebrities and entertainers.

(01:57:50):
These days, I've been trying to, you know, spotlight just
regular people because I want to break My whole podcast
is about breaking the stereotypes, you know, breaking the you know,

(01:58:11):
inconsistent perceptions of our people because you know, one of
the biggest stereotypes is all we know how to do
is entertained. So you know, that's all I used to
spotlight on my platform is just entertainments ranging from actors, actresses,

(01:58:34):
recording artists, social media influencers and you know personal public
figures and such. That's what I used to spotlight, you know,
reserve the spotlight section four. But these days I've been
trying to, you know, do regular people in the effort

(01:58:55):
to try to break that negative stereotype. But you know,
this person definitely.

Speaker 3 (01:59:00):
Is well known.

Speaker 5 (01:59:01):
He's a public figure, and a respectable public figure at that. Also,
you know, celebrities in hindsight, do need, especially celebrities from
our community, do need, you know, to be spotlighted for

(01:59:21):
positive things because they're often being shown, you know, especially
in the hip hop genre, rappers are being shown always
in handcuffs, being dragged away by the police, or being
involved in some type of scandal or political scandal or
something criminalistic or you know, a messy relationship type of thing.

(01:59:46):
So they definitely need positive reinforcement, especially when they do
positive things within our community.

Speaker 3 (01:59:53):
So, you know, I saw this person's resume and was
that we impressed?

Speaker 5 (02:00:01):
I did not know they did all the things that
they're accredited to doing and lived that type of life,
but still exposed to all this culture, but still maintaining
their humble southern upbring meed, you know, but still at
the same time being so you know, widely learned and

(02:00:25):
you know culture, been exposed to a whole lot of culture, and.

Speaker 3 (02:00:29):
You know, traveling around the world but still keeping it
so you know black.

Speaker 5 (02:00:38):
So with that in mind, I had to highlight this person.
And then one more thing about the spotlight section. I
alternate genders every week. When week I highlighted or spotlight
a female, when we got spotlight a male, last week
got spotlighted a female, this week got spotlighting a male.

(02:00:58):
I never spotlighted two genders and one edition, primarily because
of my time restriction that I set for myself. If
I did a male and a female in the same section,
it would take too long. So again in the spotlight section,
the type of information that I'm providing about the spotlight

(02:01:20):
recipient is just kind of their you know, a bio,
just a brief overview of your life, just the finer
points and contributions that they've made to our community and
what sets them apart and you know, makes them a
cut above and what makes them a good positive example.

(02:01:45):
So that's what I'm including in the spotlight session. So
now that you know what it's thoroughly about, going to
dive into this Spotlight edition of the Narrative podcast, this
week's Spotlight recipient and this week's Spotlight Recipient of the
narrative podcast is the brother by the name of.

Speaker 3 (02:02:14):
Doctor Rashad Ricci. These days, he's.

Speaker 5 (02:02:20):
Primarily known as the host of a show on the internet.

Speaker 2 (02:02:26):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (02:02:27):
I think it's a YouTube channel called Indisputable. You have
to type indisputable or want pop up. You can't type undisputable.
Undisputable is a movie. It's a story where he really
just a show where he really highlights the plight of
being black in America. Uh. He uh primarily debuts news

(02:02:55):
that would get swept under the rug about our people
being you know, our rights being violated by the police
and you know, systemic stuff that goes on within our community,
you know, not being afforded our invalilable civil and human rights.

(02:03:15):
He does shows about that. So Indisputable is a lifesaver
for our people. And you know, I commend that brother
and respect him in his team for delivering the unadulterated
truth on a consistent basis and letting America in the
world see how our people are being mistreated. Then he

(02:03:41):
also is a radio host, motivational speaker. He wears a
whole lot of hats, but the reason why he's getting
the spotlight section is because he wears his hat very well.
He's very dignified and presentable and just everything a brother,
a black.

Speaker 3 (02:04:01):
Man needs to be.

Speaker 5 (02:04:02):
He is back, you know, he's really refined. Uh carries
himself with the carum, very articulate. He's from the South,
but he's super articulate. He's born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia.

Speaker 3 (02:04:21):
Professor of physics.

Speaker 4 (02:04:26):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (02:04:26):
And he's also inventor. He invented UH device can the
neurological brain.

Speaker 1 (02:04:38):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (02:04:38):
Shoot, I can't read my own handwriting my sometimes and
my notes is like superscriblely uh aultraman device or any
N B E D for sut. He also has h
you know, a JD in law. So a lot of

(02:05:00):
stuff he says, you know, on that platform, he's breaking
it down from the legal perspective, especially from unwarranted stops
that police make. You know, he pinpoints the exact moment
when they're breaking the law on this platform. And like

(02:05:21):
I said, not only does he, you know, post stuff
about the police, he also posts things about, you know,
when we're not receiving our fair rights in jobs. Because
a lot of videos are posted on there. I think
one time I've seen a video posted about a young
lady that he did on that show. I think she

(02:05:46):
was just a QSR employee, but she was getting bullied
by a manager. You know, he was just outright calling
her out of her name, called her a be. Not
only called her a be, he called her a black
bed and just making you know, her work environment very toxic.

(02:06:11):
So he did you know, that platform exposing stories like that.
He also has a podcast called the Bullpen, which is
similar to the content that he uploads on that show,
called indisputable, and like I said, he wears many hats.
I would be another twenty or thirty minutes running down

(02:06:33):
his brother's very very extensive resume as he's versed in
several different fields, you know, medical, field, lawyer, you know, social.
You know, feel just like he just like he's really

(02:06:54):
really well rounded every type of industry you can possible.
We think of this brother got a degree in it,
or knows something about it, or has studied it or
worked in it or been exposed to it at some
point in time of his life, and he's using his
reach and impact to influence and uplift our people. He also,

(02:07:21):
you know, is really highly versed in politics and you know,
speaks about that a lot as well. And you know,
that's who you want your child to see, especially if
you got a young black man living in your home.
This is like you be this guy, you know, following

(02:07:44):
his footsteps. You don't be out on the corner hanging
with degenerates and low life. You know, get you some
direction and change your trajectory in life. And like I said,
he's all those things, but still making it practical and

(02:08:04):
appliable and relatable to our community.

Speaker 3 (02:08:07):
And he's.

Speaker 5 (02:08:09):
As like cultured and refined as he is. He's not snooty,
you know what I'm saying. He's still like veried down
to earth and you know, just really reflective of his
upbringing in Atlanta, which you know is another mecca for
our people. Atlanta is a home of refinement and culture

(02:08:33):
as well. Highly intelligent people live and come from Atlanta, Georgia.
So that's why he's getting this week spotlights on the
there of the podcast. And like I said, you know,
the Rundown is complete resume. I'd probably be like, you know,

(02:08:58):
at least a half hour more or just talking about
like I barely just scratched the surface of everything this
brother has accomplished and achieved in his lifetime.

Speaker 3 (02:09:13):
But through his success.

Speaker 5 (02:09:16):
You know, we are embody and reflected as a people
through him, and that's why he's getting this week's spotlight
on The Narrative Podcast Spotlight edition.

Speaker 3 (02:09:31):
Her Spotlight section partner. So please join me into given.

Speaker 5 (02:09:36):
Our brother doctor Rashad Richie from Going Nritive Podcast.

Speaker 3 (02:09:41):
Round the applause.

Speaker 5 (02:09:53):
All right, moving right along to the next section of
The Narrative Podcast. This section is all my health and
will this section. In this section, I'll be seeking about
just what it sounds like health and wellness. And the
reason why I even't feel I need this section is
because unfortunately our people, black people, or as I refer

(02:10:17):
to our people on this platform, original people. Out of
all the people in the world, we're the most ill.
We're the most ill because we are targeted as a people.
There's an agenda to get.

Speaker 3 (02:10:31):
Rid of this.

Speaker 5 (02:10:32):
They are attacking us mentally, physically, and spiritually. They're also
attacking us financially. And I don't give financial tips on
this platform because I believe health is wealth, and.

Speaker 1 (02:10:47):
You know.

Speaker 5 (02:10:49):
That's why I'm delivering health and wellness tips to you know,
fortify our people in all the areas that we're.

Speaker 3 (02:10:56):
Being attacked.

Speaker 5 (02:11:00):
And for the types of you know, tips that I
usually give, like physically, I usually give like the health
benefits of some type of food you can eat to
sustain your health, for some type of physical exercise you
can perform that can make yourself more physically healthy than
on the mental side of it.

Speaker 3 (02:11:20):
As I said, they're weaponizing the media against us.

Speaker 5 (02:11:24):
They're you know, introducing all this negative stuff, you know,
in the music and literature that we read. Even there's
even subliminal messaging in the very ink in the books
that we read, like subliminal messages you know that only

(02:11:44):
our black people's subconscious can pick up. You know, are
also introducing subliminal messages into what's in commercials and music
at a frequency only we can hear. So it's very

(02:12:10):
easy to implant a post ignotic suggestion into somebody.

Speaker 3 (02:12:15):
I've done it. It's real easy to do.

Speaker 5 (02:12:18):
When you study the human mind and you practice you know,
projecting your thought waves, it's really easy to do it.
So if it's easy for just somebody like me just
to imagine with all this high tech technology that our

(02:12:41):
government has, you know, the number that they've done on
us all throughout our lives and history here in America,
and abroad. They literally can read your brainwave patterns through
your cellular device. That's how far you know, mind corrupting

(02:13:03):
technology has come, and why you need to build your
mind stronger. You know, practice maintaining your thoughts and conditioning
your mind and emotions. So those are the types of
you know, mental wellness tips that I give. You know

(02:13:24):
how to keep yourself sane, and you know how to
exercise mental and emotional intelligence, things of that nature, all
things that have.

Speaker 3 (02:13:39):
To do with the mind.

Speaker 5 (02:13:41):
Those are the health and wellness tips I give on
the mental side of it, and you know, on the
spiritual side of it.

Speaker 3 (02:13:46):
You know, whether you believe in Jesus, whether you believe
in ally.

Speaker 5 (02:13:51):
Buddha, the Higher Power, vibrational frequencies, law, attraction, whatever you
call yourself, you know, believe in spiritually whatever spiritual you know,
discipline you subscribe to or practice. You know it's being
used against our people. You know, are people to practice

(02:14:14):
any form of spirituality. You might disagree, you know on
you know what the higher power is called, but we
all can agree. There are are dark forces and dark
entities you know, roaming about lost souls and other you know,

(02:14:36):
you know entities that you need to spiritually protect yourself
from because people, especially those of us live in the
United States, they know how to manipulate these dark forces,
manipulate that dark energy and project it to cause irreparable

(02:14:58):
harm in your life. And if you don't know how
to recognize when you're being spiritually attacked, you know, everything
that you're going to be doing this for nothing is
it's going to be a little barrier. You can't penetrate
because they're attacking you from a spiritual realm. So those

(02:15:24):
are the tips I give, the spiritual tips like you know,
spiritual warfield.

Speaker 3 (02:15:34):
But that's what the health and wellness section is all about,
you know.

Speaker 5 (02:15:38):
And then something I want to really stress in this
section before I go on to my health and wellness
tip of the day. You know, religion has done a
fine job at trying to.

Speaker 3 (02:15:56):
You know, push the narrative that we're all one, that
we're all of one blood.

Speaker 5 (02:16:03):
We're all you know, God's children, and God loves us
equally and the same, and you know, we're all brothers
and sisters. Particularly they say this in the Christian faith,
but all walks and religions, all faiths and religions and
practices you know there is that ideology, but you know.

Speaker 3 (02:16:30):
It's not true.

Speaker 5 (02:16:31):
We're all different, because if we're all the same, then
we will all perceive it the same way, worship it
the same way, and we would just all be the same.
You'll all have the exact same spiritual identity if that
was the case.

Speaker 3 (02:16:51):
But we don't.

Speaker 5 (02:16:52):
In Christianity, you got different denominations of Christianity, and it
varies culturally, so you're not going to have the same
experience culturally that you would have at another church. Just
for example, Black church and White churches, night and day,
the experience no matter what the denomination is, it's completely different.

(02:17:18):
You know, let's talk about the same, you know, denominations
in different experiences like Black Baptist, White Baptists, completely different experience.

Speaker 3 (02:17:39):
And so on and so forth.

Speaker 5 (02:17:41):
As well as Islam, but have different types of Muslims
and they all interpret in practice Islam differently, Judyism, all
the isms, they're all perceived in practice differently. So that

(02:18:02):
means what's that mean, class, We're all different. We all
have different needs t you know, nourish and speaking of nerves,
were all different internally, the things that keeps my body

(02:18:23):
nourished and healthy will destroy your body if you try
to do it on a regular basis like I do it,
and then vice versa. I can't eat the same diet
you eat every single day and prosper culturally. I can't
pray to the same god or deity you pray to
in the same manner in which you pray to in

(02:18:45):
worship and.

Speaker 3 (02:18:49):
Prosper spiritually. You see what I'm saying. I can't.

Speaker 5 (02:18:56):
Ingest the same culture you ingest and prosper survive culturally.

Speaker 3 (02:19:09):
So we're all different, and I'm pointing out.

Speaker 5 (02:19:11):
The differences to say, just because I'm different from you
doesn't mean I hate you. I'm just you know, acknowledging
the differences. And that's what this section is all about,
acknowledging the different needs that original people have mentally, spiritually,

(02:19:32):
and physically and providing it to them. Now, my podcast
is for anybody from any walk of life to listen
to and enjoy and.

Speaker 3 (02:19:43):
You know, apply something out of it.

Speaker 5 (02:19:46):
You know, if they can get a message out of it,
you know, definitely, you know, apply to your life as
it applies to your life. But just know the focal point,
you know, all the subject matter everything I discuss on
this platform.

Speaker 3 (02:20:01):
It's dedicated to the upliftment.

Speaker 5 (02:20:03):
And the empowerment and edification of my people, Black people,
original people. That's my niche. If you know, if you're
an online person niche, that's my niche. Who I'm catering to,
who I'm speaking to. But just because I'm not speaking
to you and catering to you don't mean I hate
you or or am intolerant of you. This just means

(02:20:30):
I'm different from me, that's all. That's all.

Speaker 3 (02:20:32):
That means I have different needs.

Speaker 5 (02:20:45):
So moving right along now that we're clear on that,
today's health and well health and wellness tip of the
day is the health. What we're discussing the health benefits
of the apricots. When I know what you're saying, Well,

(02:21:07):
everybody can derive benefits from eating applicants. Everybody can get
a health beneficial from incorporated applicas.

Speaker 3 (02:21:14):
Into your dye. How you gonna say it.

Speaker 5 (02:21:16):
Just only applies to your people. Everybody can get healthy,
but eating apricots. Well, see, this is where the where
especially comes in place. My people especially benefit from anything
plant based, being that we are the original people of.

Speaker 3 (02:21:40):
The planet. Our diet as.

Speaker 5 (02:21:43):
Original people consisted namely of plants, Our people, original people,
out of everybody on the planet, are directly linked to nature.
We on the scientific side of it. It sain't me
pulling something out of my butt, it's a science. We

(02:22:08):
exhibit and display the same traits as most plant life.
We absorb minerals and nutrients the same way plants do.
So therefore, it's especially important for our people, black people,
original people to be exposed to nature and to have

(02:22:35):
a mainly plant based diet to you know, elevate.

Speaker 3 (02:22:41):
And rise.

Speaker 5 (02:22:43):
And function at our maximum level. So anyway, and now
that you got that loud and clear, we're on with
the health benefits of the humble apricot. Apricot are the

(02:23:07):
prunus Americanos and the family of the same family as peaches,
primarily are indigenous to central and western China.

Speaker 3 (02:23:21):
We're also Indi indigenous to Turkey.

Speaker 1 (02:23:24):
Iran, and.

Speaker 5 (02:23:29):
Armenia, so that's their you know, where they're derivative. Their
gene type comes from Armenia armenic. The US Californi in

(02:23:50):
the United States, California is the top producers of.

Speaker 3 (02:23:55):
The apricot.

Speaker 5 (02:24:00):
Apricots are rich in polythenos, which is an antioxidant in
antioxidants burn facts, so if you're trying to use weight,
definitely want something that burns fat.

Speaker 3 (02:24:17):
Poly females also destroy something a substance.

Speaker 5 (02:24:23):
Called free radicals, and free radicals are negativity charged ions,
and you get exposed and negativity charged.

Speaker 3 (02:24:31):
Ions all the time.

Speaker 5 (02:24:35):
If you're in contact with any electrical source or device,
you're going to have free radicals build up in your body.
If you touch your phone, free radicals are going to
build up inside your body. Whether you touch electrical device,

(02:24:55):
whether it's plugged or unplugged, some free radicals are gonna
get out yourselves. And when you have too much freeze
radicals in your body, this causes illness. It's negatively charged ions.
It makes you feel depressed. It makes you feel weighed
down and sick, you know, nauseous and uh tired.

Speaker 3 (02:25:22):
Eat.

Speaker 5 (02:25:23):
It can even cause pain in the body in your joints. Specifically,
we have too much free radicals in your body and
shut down yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:25:33):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:25:33):
Sexual organs and men that can make them have uh
you know what do you call it?

Speaker 5 (02:25:42):
Eed your reptile dysfunction, and women that can also disrupt your.

Speaker 1 (02:25:51):
You know.

Speaker 5 (02:25:53):
Cycle, cause complications with your monthly cycle cost locations in
your pregnancy, when you have an over accumulation of free
radicals in your body, hair loss, hair thinning. So apricots

(02:26:18):
are also rich in biting A C and E. Also
rich in fiber. Fiber again, you know it's good for dieting.

(02:26:42):
Is anything with fiber makes you feel full, So why
you feeling full you eat less? Also good for bone health.
Bone density specifically is a good source of hydration, regulates
the body temperature, cleanses yourselves, UH. Wound healing helps xbion

(02:27:11):
night you uh you know healing from a wound and
increases white bloods UH production white white blood cells production,
which in turns you know, helps you heal faster than

(02:27:32):
rich and pat potassium. And they also are rich in
electril likes. Electro Likes not only keep your hydrated, they
also promote when your electrolytes are at the right balance.

Speaker 3 (02:27:50):
You know, healthy brain functions. Even UH.

Speaker 5 (02:27:55):
Apricos helps destroy brain fall, helps you with a short
and long term memory, helps you with other cognitive functions
associated with the brain.

Speaker 3 (02:28:11):
Learning.

Speaker 5 (02:28:14):
You know it'll help you retain information better. So when
you're studying, eat you some your apricot before you have
a test.

Speaker 3 (02:28:26):
If you're stupid. If you're a full time stupid, eat
an apricot.

Speaker 5 (02:28:31):
And then apricots are also a sustainable food source because
they have a pit, which means you can't be grow
it after you're done eating it. And they're relatively inexpensive.
You're like, you know, under a dollar per pound, and
you don't need a whole lot of them to get food,

(02:28:51):
I mean to feel full. So you only need two
to three for a complete service for you eat more
than portant pushing it. You never ever want to eat
apricots out of a tin can packing heavy syrup.

Speaker 3 (02:29:13):
That's never the move. You can't cook with apricots.

Speaker 5 (02:29:15):
The cooking apricots, and you know Asian cuisine, Turkish cuisine
and incorporate apricots really in Turkish cuisine, it's heavy. They
got a whole lot of dishes. You know where they
use apricot, you also use apricott Northern Africa, apricots are

(02:29:38):
part of a traditional Moroccan tea, you know that have
the mint tea and they serve dry fruits and wanted
to dry fruits that they serve apricotts and probably also
serve figs as well, dried plums, dried cherries. But apricots

(02:30:06):
are really versatile and really good for your health, so
you know, eat them like everything in moderation. Eat too
much of anything can be harmful and toxic for your body.
But definitely incorporate apricots into your diet and keep them
in rotation on a regular basis. And that is wrap

(02:30:31):
it up for this week's Health and Wellness tit. And
then closing, do your own due diligence.

Speaker 3 (02:30:38):
You know, you don't have to take my word for it.

Speaker 5 (02:30:41):
You know, study apricots the science of it for yourself.
Just don't take anybody's word for anything. Do your own
studying in due diligence. And that all wrap it for
this week's Health and Wellness tit and on to my
next section of the Narrative podcast. This section it's called

(02:31:04):
my speaking point section, and in this section I'll be
speaking about current events, current news. Just to reiterate, any
topic I speak about on this platform is from the
black perspective and then also centering around the bigger picture perspective,

(02:31:27):
which is systemic oppression, the psychological program and conditioning as
it relates to our people. So yeah, I've already told
you what the section entails at the beginning of the program.

(02:31:48):
But just one little disclaimer. Sometimes I feel there's not
nothing really important going on in the news worth discussing,
So on those rare times, what I do instead of
commentating on current news, I'll replace it with the PSA.
And my PSAs are just quiet observations that I've made

(02:32:10):
about our people and our culture, things i feel we
need to work on as a people. And when I
say we, in many cases I need me. But yeah,
today I actually do have a speaking point to speak abouts,
and we're gonna just go ahead on lane and dive

(02:32:31):
into that today's speaking point.

Speaker 3 (02:32:35):
So I'm gonna get our right onto it. Put the
foot on the gas. Polk Cogan just recently passed away.

Speaker 5 (02:32:47):
We passed away on the twenty fourth, and within our
community it's been a whole lot of borderline celebrating. I've
seen the memes. The memes are absolutely hilarious. What's not hilarious, though,
is making light of his untimely passion. That's just something

(02:33:11):
we don't do within our community. Whatever discrepancies we have
with a person, whatever ill will we have towards a person,
you know, the nails in the Coffin, it's off the
table when they're unlive.

Speaker 3 (02:33:32):
Now usually that's usually the case. Paul Cogan, he was
a very big.

Speaker 5 (02:33:49):
Influential part of American coaching, and he definitely was an
influential part in our culture growing up up watching professional wrestling,
especially if he was a gen xer. He was watching
some WWF and Hogan was that guy, so ergo he

(02:34:13):
was your guy. And I myself, I am a wrestling fan,
a professional wrestling fan. I'm not as like, you know,
super hardcore as I was in my youth growing up.
I grew up on w w F and then the other,

(02:34:33):
you know, the other one down south. I forget the
name of it. They had, like the one where Rick
flaeris from and you know jaredy King Lawler in Tennessee.
That that division of wrestling. I forget the name of it.
But it was like w WWF and then that and

(02:34:53):
then I guess you know, they finally did a merger
and then it became w CW. So it was like, yeah,
so I was watching it back in the prime when
it was Whole Cove and Iron Cheek, Junkyard Dog Andre
and the Giant Heart Foundation. Like I can name all day,

(02:35:22):
Jimmy Superfly, Snooker, Rickey the Dragon, Steamboat, Tito Santana, Macho Man,
Randy Savage, uh who else, Rowdy Rowdy Piper, Ravash and

(02:35:43):
Rick Rude Freaking I could just keep on going, you
know what I'm saying, The British Bulldogs, Leggies and the dude.
Like that's just how big a wrestling fan I was
back in the day. And like I said, if he
was a fan of wrestling, Hawk Hogan was that guy.

(02:36:08):
He just made He took wrestling, the you know, the
sport of professionally professional wrestling, to their height. I mean
he had everything he had, you know, all these advertisements
and endorsements, like you know, vitamins, he had the whole

(02:36:29):
Hogan vitamins and urging children to take the little multi vitamins,
you know, to eat their vegetables and all this good
moral stuff. And in real life he wasn't that guy.
You know, according to a whole bunch of people that
knew him, he was just the opposite of his wrestling persona.

(02:36:57):
And then in wrestling he kind of did ship to
the villain. He was the good guy for like a
whole lot of years. He wore the Red and yellow.
Where was his trademark Hulka Mania? You know, he had
a start an epidemic called Holka Mania. You know what
I'm saying. He was the reason why really pay per

(02:37:20):
view actually exists. He's the one that made you know,
pay per view of thing, because people would like get
pay per view to watch wrestling, to go watch hall
Kog and wrestling. That's how much love we had as

(02:37:44):
a community for Hawkovi.

Speaker 3 (02:37:45):
He was just that guy. But then you know, he
had some disparaging, uh.

Speaker 5 (02:37:55):
You know, hurt food, anti inflammatory racial remarks regarding our
people and our culture.

Speaker 3 (02:38:10):
He's just like, you know, and it's something like this
is just a sign of the times.

Speaker 5 (02:38:18):
He was exactly in the month of January, you know,
when he got booed at a uh, you know, an
event and going being the spokesperson for Donald Trump and
the Trump administration. You know, he just pretty much overtly

(02:38:44):
identified himself as an enemy to our people. Now, people
from our community has stepped up and said, no, he's
not really like that.

Speaker 1 (02:38:55):
You know.

Speaker 5 (02:38:55):
Harlem heat Booker t he trying to vouch for hok
Hogan now and a whole lot of other black people,
but mostly the black people in the the professionally wrestle say,
you know, the wrestling industry is very racist to black people,

(02:39:17):
and they've gone on record to naming the white people
in the wrestling industry that are the most racist towards
black people. In hup, Hogan all across the board was
the biggest name people black.

Speaker 3 (02:39:34):
We're dropping about.

Speaker 5 (02:39:36):
You know, as far as racism goes, like like you know,
Dwayne the Rock Johnson, he is, you know, openly acknowledged
the passing the Hawk Hogan and revealed all the admiration
of respect that he had for you know, his father

(02:39:58):
was a wrestler, you know, Dwayne Senior. So you know,
it's a slippery slop. So a lot of them restlue
dudes is super racist. So if you was ever a

(02:40:20):
child and remembered approaching your favorite Caucasian wrestler and asking
for an autograph and they didn't, you didn't get it,
that's probably why. That's probably why, because a lot of
them aren't racist af and to any white wrestler or

(02:40:50):
white person in general, you know, all black people cannot
be racist because racism is systemic. It's systematic, so systematically,
a black person cannot be racist is to be a racist,
you must have one important element. That is the element

(02:41:10):
of exclusion. You have to be able to exclude a
group of people away from.

Speaker 3 (02:41:17):
Your group of people. You have to have a means
which to exclude a group of people away from your
group of people. And black people here in America and abroad,
do not possess the power of exclusion. You don't. So
therefore we can never be racist.

Speaker 5 (02:41:39):
Now we can be.

Speaker 3 (02:41:42):
And have bigoted views on other groups of people.

Speaker 5 (02:41:47):
We can't be prejudiced against other people and have prejudiced
views against other people, But.

Speaker 3 (02:41:54):
We cannot be racist. PAULK.

Speaker 5 (02:42:01):
Hogan was a racist. He practiced racism during his run
in you know, wrestling, and the backlash that he's receiving
unfortunately bought all that on himself. And then, you know,

(02:42:28):
I don't know what this thing is when people pass away.
Now all of a sudden, they're the greatest person you
know ever, now that they're.

Speaker 3 (02:42:39):
Not here anymore.

Speaker 5 (02:42:41):
But just when you was dealing with them, just yesterday,
there was all kind of boatloads and m efforts and
you know, punk so and so and this and that.
But now that they're gone, oh, they're just the greatest
they're just the be's knees. You know, that's just taking
the race card off the table, just just taking the

(02:43:02):
whole Covid thing off the table, to see how hypocritic
that he is. But I'm also a believering in that
if you don't have something nice, don't say anything at all.

Speaker 3 (02:43:16):
I'm a firm believer in that as well.

Speaker 5 (02:43:19):
But you know what, whole Covid didn't have nothing nice
to say about black people or black coaching, and he
was vocally, you know, expressing that on a regular basis.
He job discriminated, again, exercising his racism, his power of

(02:43:45):
exclusion from his beard. He had a beer deal. He
didn't hire assistant because just because she was assistant, she
was immensely qualified for that position. Did not hire her
just because she was black, power of exclusion racist. So

(02:44:12):
while he was beloved as a wrestler, you know, in
real life, in real time, he didn't have love for
the black community.

Speaker 3 (02:44:19):
And that's why he's.

Speaker 5 (02:44:20):
Getting all this, you know, backlash. And then he passed
away ten months after his most racist rant cock on
that was recorded audio rep it. Ten months after you know,

(02:44:42):
that day he passed away marked the ten month anniversary
of that Audio Club. So set all that to say,
that's the ancestors. Our ancestors are not happening. They coming
for haw Coging anybody like Hall Coogan. This is the

(02:45:04):
age we're gonna see a lot of that. We're going
to see a whole lot of racist people that has
used their power of exclusion to cause our people physical
and mental duress. They're gonna get their come up as

(02:45:26):
this season. You're gonna see it. It's gonna be a
whole like they're gonna just start dropping like flies. We're
gonna start seeing natural disasters more frequently. I mean, we
just got through witnessing the burning of the Antebellum mansion

(02:45:49):
in the South not even two months ago.

Speaker 3 (02:45:55):
We're going to start seeing.

Speaker 5 (02:45:58):
You know, monuments crumble, just erode from the inside, and
crumble of you know, honoring former slave owners. Our ancestors

(02:46:21):
are coming, and they're coming with the vengeance. So just
get ready for that. And the Hall Hogan was the
first casualty of the ancestors. Trust and believe that. I
don't know his medical conditioning, I don't know what the
doctor's done told him, and you know what's you know

(02:46:44):
what he was dealing with in his life. But for sure,
you know the cause of his untimely passing has not
been revealed. So when you pass away with you know, explanation.
You just don't wake up one day. There's a spiritual

(02:47:05):
reason for that. We all have an exploration day. We
all come in this world at one time, and we
all leave this physical plan at one time. Now, chosen ones,
we know our time to go. The chosen ones they

(02:47:26):
know when the exact time day, minute, hour, in the
way that they're leaving, and they make preparations for when
they transcend, you know, to the space that they need
to be in. And when they leave, they will be

(02:47:49):
celebrating for the legacy that they left behind. And when
you can't celebrate your legacy that you left behind or
the the way you left, nobody has nothing good to
say about you. You wasn't a chosen one now in life.

(02:48:10):
You know, everybody can't like you. Everybody can't like you
in life. And you know what, You're not meant to
be liked by everybody in life because some damn people
don't even like their damn self, So they don't like

(02:48:31):
your theirself. How they're gonna like you? But you know
when you were chosen one, you admit that chosen one.

Speaker 3 (02:48:40):
Aura.

Speaker 5 (02:48:42):
People gravitate towards you. People you know have more good
things to say the bad things to say about you.
Are more influenced and touched by the things you know
you did with your life when you're chosen. So, you know,

(02:49:05):
hall Cogan had a decent legacy.

Speaker 3 (02:49:08):
Not gonna lie.

Speaker 5 (02:49:09):
I grew up on the merch you know, I watched
The Rock and Wrestlers cartoon show growing up. You know,
voiced by his character, Hall Cogan was voiced by uh,
actor Brad Garrett, who was TV's uh, you know Robbie
and everybody loves Raymond and then uh, you know, his

(02:49:36):
best friend on the show The Rocking Wrestlers was the
Junkyard Dog, who was voiced by the late James Avery
and for those that don't know, that was Uncle Phil
on the Fresh Principal atter.

Speaker 3 (02:49:59):
So you know, he had some high points in some
low points. It's a shame he had to go on
a low point.

Speaker 5 (02:50:09):
But you know, in life he was dealing a whole
lot of low blows, especially to our people. The original
people and our ancestors came for him. Say what you
want that's what it is. And they're gonna come for
a whole lot more like him, to thought like him,

(02:50:33):
that think like him. They just want to just not
wake up all the season, for the rest of the summer.

Speaker 3 (02:50:42):
And on up. Moving forward, we're.

Speaker 5 (02:50:44):
Gonna start seeing it, like I said, statues crumbling all
by ourselves, you know, flags that you know, they're gonna
just start catching fire all by theirselves. The Confederate lad
I'm just gonna start disintegrating all by theyself. You know,

(02:51:09):
there's already white people that drown every single year in
like Lake Lanier, spirit of the ancestors, you know water.
I'm gonna I'm gonna get off Hawk Hogan for a
second and bring something into uh, just something kind of

(02:51:32):
on my mind about our brother.

Speaker 3 (02:51:36):
Then.

Speaker 5 (02:51:36):
We just recently lost Malcolm Jamal Warner. You know, they
say he drowned, But like I said, spirits are in
the water, the spirits of the ancestry. And Malcolm was
a spiritual brother. He had a destiny bequeathed to him,

(02:52:01):
and he fulfill his destiny. You can't full circle. He
touched a whole lot of people.

Speaker 3 (02:52:10):
With his art.

Speaker 5 (02:52:11):
For him, he's staying with me now, I said, spirits
is in the water. How did our brother pass away?
He passed away in Costa Rica, swimming in the water. Well,
why did they come for him?

Speaker 3 (02:52:29):
He's good.

Speaker 5 (02:52:33):
They came for him because he was good. He had
already fulfilled his destiny.

Speaker 3 (02:52:39):
Why he was here.

Speaker 5 (02:52:41):
And now it gotta be one with the ancestors that
you know, helped complete his circle. See spirituality and spiritualism.
If we was like if we had the carnal minds,
the process that that it would make perfect sense to this.
But it only makes perfect sense to chosen wins. I'm

(02:53:04):
not saying I'm a chosen win, but you know it
makes kind of sense the way I'll frame it it up,
don't you.

Speaker 3 (02:53:14):
Like I said?

Speaker 5 (02:53:15):
You know, water holds a whole lot of spiritual properties.
If you ever want to sense when a force or
a presence is in the room, something other than the
person you call acknowledges, God or the higher power or

(02:53:35):
whatever all you gotta do, sit cup of water on
the table and just watch the water. Now, if nothing
in the room is in there other than you, the
water will stay perfectly still. Something is in the room

(02:54:02):
other than yourself. When you got that water sitting on
the table in the water just swirling around like somebody
swirling it. There's a presence in beauty. Water holds, you know,
spirits the you now on the side side of me,

(02:54:26):
we are what where seventy percent what water? Water never
completely vanishes, the water cycle never stops, and water evaporates,
it turns into moisture. That moisture turns into what water
drop thiss So since human beings possessed seventy percent of water,

(02:54:55):
do we ever truly.

Speaker 1 (02:54:59):
Die?

Speaker 5 (02:55:04):
There was an old Negro spiritual song called Waiting by
the Water. Our brother Malcolm descending while vacation in Costa Rica,
a land our ancestors, the original people touched and whose

(02:55:26):
spirits still walk that land in the water. Now getting
back on whole Cogan, you know, like I said, admiration,

(02:55:51):
also some other people that passed away. It's hot bit
and they're spoken in high regard at the end of
theirs and at the end of their journey. Ozzi Osborne,
you know, he got demonized on television. MTV made him
look like a super drug addict, made the Osborne family

(02:56:15):
look like dopers. They always showed Ozzi Osbourne incoherence, you know,
but Ozzi Osbourne had a good heart. He respected black people.
He admired black artists, and so did his wife Sharon.

(02:56:38):
When she had her own talk show, the bulk of
all of her guests were black. Even though their children
never was spotted hanging out with any black people, was
evident they were inspired by black culture. Ozzi Osbourne always

(02:57:03):
acknowledged black people in rock and roll. And you know
who influenced him in his sound, then another music will
influence the pass away.

Speaker 3 (02:57:20):
The people speak very highly of jazz musician.

Speaker 5 (02:57:25):
Chuck Man Joni, who ain't been in all forms of
American contemporary music, who ain't been in jazz black people.
You think in Chuck Man Jones's time he acknowledged, he
didn't acknowledge black people and black contemporary artists that influenced

(02:57:49):
him to want him to make him want to play
the jazz Trumpy.

Speaker 3 (02:57:59):
You never heard him saying nothing.

Speaker 5 (02:58:01):
No people come forward and uh say, share racist stories
about Chuck Man Joni never heard see herders. Nobody come
forward and uh share racist stories about Ozzy Osbourne. But
we've heard everybody, black and white, Asian, Spanish come forward

(02:58:24):
and give accounts and when they witnessed and heard Hong
Kogan say something racist. So that's where I'm gonna laying
my plan on that one can take it or leave it.

(02:58:47):
But our ancestors they coming back. They're coming for avenging this, uh,
and they come eventufully. So a message to all racist
people that just happen to be white, y'all better get
it together because they ain't playing. Our ancestors are not playing.

(02:59:17):
And that's where I'm gonna land my playing with that one.
And I'm gonna wrap this thing up with my very
final section of the Narrative podcast.

Speaker 3 (02:59:27):
This section is called my Wise Word of the Day.

Speaker 5 (02:59:34):
And now finally I'm gonna wrap this thing up with
my Wise word of the day. My Wise Word of
the Day is a philosophical sentiment, a gym, a jewel,
a pearl of wisdom, whatever you want to call it,
just something to help spark critical thinking and ponder there's

(03:00:00):
some simple perplexities of this thing that we call life.
In today's Wise Word of the Day, it's fights. The
Dictionary defines the word curious. How the Dictionary devines the

(03:00:23):
word fight.

Speaker 3 (03:00:26):
To attempt to.

Speaker 4 (03:00:27):
Harm or.

Speaker 5 (03:00:32):
Gain power over an adversary by blows or weapons. Two

(03:00:56):
sport to engage in box three tongain age in a
quarrel argue. They are always fighting about money. So now
that we know what the word fight means, you know fighting.

Speaker 3 (03:01:18):
Is a part of life.

Speaker 5 (03:01:22):
It's a continuous bout. It's not like the sport of boxing.
You don't have no corner man. And when the fight
is too browlicky, there's nobody to throw into towel, nobody

(03:01:43):
to look your mounds. Nobody banned you, banded, you banded,
you up, stop the bleeding. Life is a bloody, merciless
never any fight, and you gotta be prepared to fight

(03:02:04):
in all walks of life to sustain life. You even
gotta fight in times of peace. You have to fight
the result. You have to fight the urge to resort
the violence. The biggest fight we face is to fight

(03:02:28):
with ourselves, this internal fight we have with ourselves, fight
with ourselves to do the things that we know we're
supposed to do.

Speaker 3 (03:02:50):
In the Good Book of Effisions, it says, for we
are not fighting.

Speaker 5 (03:02:57):
Against flesh and blood and enemies, but the evil, against
the rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against the
mighty powers in this dark world, and against the evil
spirits and the heavenly places.

Speaker 3 (03:03:15):
So it's spiritual warfare. It's a never ending fight.

Speaker 5 (03:03:20):
You know, I just quoted the Bible verse because a
lot of you know my family and friends, so they
are Christians. So I want to make that reference very
clear that it's a knockdown, drag out fight that ain't
never over. It's eternal fight in your spirit within you.

(03:03:47):
And the only way you're gonna win the fight, the
only way you're gonna get.

Speaker 3 (03:03:50):
A knockout.

Speaker 5 (03:03:53):
Is it never thrown in that town. You gotta stand
up and fight all throughout your life for everything you want.
You gotta fight for your love. You gotta fight for
your passion, you gotta fight for your desire. You gotta

(03:04:14):
fight for your rights, especially if you're black, especially if
you're a Black American. We're never gonna stop fighting for
our rights. You know, fighting is necessary. Now, physical fighting

(03:04:36):
can be avoided by using your words and using the
power of your mind. But even mental fighting is a
form of fighting because then you gotta outthink your enemy
with strategy. You gotta out maneuver people, which is like
technically fighting, gotta outwit people, and so you got to

(03:05:12):
keep on fighting and then life's over when you're finally
tired of fighting. Like everything in life, when you're done,
when you're tired of fighting, that's when it's over. Relationships,
you don't wouldn't do it no more. You're tired of fighting,

(03:05:32):
sitting over there, fighting, arguing about nothing.

Speaker 3 (03:05:34):
It's over shoot ninety five jobs, tired to fight, whether.

Speaker 5 (03:05:43):
It's the politics of the work, atmosphere, the journey getting there,
just not you know, a good fit for you.

Speaker 3 (03:05:54):
Fights over in life. You know when we become sick,
for those of us you know, dealing with the terminal
illness and.

Speaker 5 (03:06:06):
Fight every single day. You don't seem to be getting better.
You're an agony every time you wake up. Your an
agony when you go to bed. We got you on
ten ten, twelve different types of medicine. You got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, pills.

(03:06:28):
You gotta take all of them to survive injections. Then
one day you just get tired of fight. So fighting

(03:06:56):
is necessary. It's necessary to keep the fight and keep
fighting for things you believe in, things you want and
things you desire. And then where the things will stress
you too much, it's a sensue that you stop fighting.

Speaker 3 (03:07:14):
Just don't. That's how you defeat and overcome the enemies.

Speaker 5 (03:07:17):
To not fight at all in things and situations that
stress you, that overtax you, that you don't have an
answer for that situation, that person that wind up beating yourselves.

(03:07:39):
And that's today's wise word of the day. Fight on
all my narrators and fight the good fight. And if
you're listening to this podcast, we'll fight the good fight together.
I'm Halsey Allen reminded you to patronize, support, endorse share,

(03:08:06):
participate in.

Speaker 3 (03:08:09):
Name drop.

Speaker 5 (03:08:12):
Black media and black positive black media and positive black content.

Speaker 3 (03:08:21):
Supports, promote endorse, participate in endorse share the narrative podcast,
promote endorse participate in share name drop positive Black podcasts.

Speaker 5 (03:08:47):
And the reason why I started doing that is because
you know, even though the deck is unevenly stacked, it's
all based on supply demand. We keep on entertaining the foolishness,
They're gonna keep on supplying the foolishness. So it's up
to us to endure, us, promote, participate in, patronize the

(03:09:13):
movement black culture, black people. So what your continued support
and patronage up this platform. Together we will change the narrative.
I'm Harsey Allen. I'm changing the narrative one episode at

(03:09:34):
a time, asking you to help me change the narrative
by becoming your narrator. While I'm changing the narrative on
my end one episode at a time. As a narrator,
