He said, Sometimes it's like, but you know what, but listen,
freedom of speech, Uh opinions, I mean a debates. We

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Of us and check out that mind to no, I'm
play with you. I ain't know we had that old school.
That's old school, right, yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
You know, but uh, we ain't gonna hold you. You
know how your week going so far?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Man? My week is hacted, bro, I ain't gonna hold you.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Trying to.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Save time at work, I work out of school, so
I'm preparing for the school system.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And that's uh.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Who brand new school ain't for the week, so I
can say, put my hands.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
They need somebody to keep that thing looking nice.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I mean, yeah, they chose the right person.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
But sometimes I'll be like, listen, throw this whole new
school away, give me that old building.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
But uh, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
By the time y'all get this. You know, kids are
back in school. You know, parents are back to being free. Okay, yeah,
you know they happy. You know some parents are happy
their kids are out the house, you know, hopefully. You know,
everybody had a good summer. Yeah, I guess it's that
(04:17):
busy time again. You know, before you know it, Halloween
gonna be here, Thanksgiving gonna be here, and Christmas gonna
be here.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It's gonna be a whole new year.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
School. You're gonna be like like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So, but we're gonna go on and hop until the
first topic.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, man, making us smarter all lazy?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
You know what shan light on is is technology making
us smarter all lazy?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I would say, just in my opinion, it depends on
how you use it because uh you can okay say
like h with the episodes our Facebook or Instagram. In general,
you can pre set your episodes so you can have
(05:10):
a time on them to whereas they can be set.
Only thing you have to do is upload everything, set
your timer and you could.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I mean that's smart, you know us, don't think.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Sometimes it can become a burden because it's so easy,
so convenient.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Like in the movie Wally, everybody was getting fat on
them so oh, I don't even remember that movie.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Man, I remember brou And it's crazy because the movie
came out and seven eight and.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
People were huge on little machines where they didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Have to do anything. Everything was accessible. They had a microwave,
like in their chair that they were in. They wanted
to lay down, just kick back in their chair. I'm like, dang,
y'all have a touch the ground. So I guess it
all depends on who you are, what's your intentions with it,
And I mean, just sometimes, man, it'll catch you, it'll
(06:15):
catch you being lazy. But at the same time, you
can think outside the box and make the technology work
in a.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Smart way, or it can just have you just strolling
all day.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
I think I know one thing with chet GPT oh,
to me, it does feel like I'm getting a little lazy.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I ain't gonna even lie to.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
You, you know, because I don't have to do as
much research or nothing like I used to to find
the answers.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
And with this technology, you know, you got stuff that
you do stuff around the house, you know automatic you know,
you got to think that through the floors. You don't
got to do that no more. You know, you got
the ones that mopping.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Back you wait, they got the ones that man.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Yeah, mopping vacuum floors. You know, you got the ones
that do windows. Oh, the ones that cut the grass.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Wait, they got the ones that do the windows.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Yeah, yeah, you know, and they got ones that cut grass.
And it's like, whatever answer you need to find is
that the you know, tip of your fingers. So as
well as being you know, wether saying that, you also,
you know, if you really want to do something, man,
(07:49):
this stuff gives you the whole blueprint to anything you
want to do. So as of today, I don't think
it's really not too much holding you back. Depending on
what you want to do depends on like if you
want to spend some money or you know, the shoe.
It just it just depends. But everything is very obtainable
(08:11):
these days if you use technology in the right way.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But yes, to me, it is making us lazier. You know.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
It's just like kids going to college taking tests. They
don't really have to study no more. You know, they
got all these programs out there that give them the answers.
I think it just affects them once they get in
the real working world and they have to use that
stuff they supposed to learn in college.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
But I think everything is everything is ran with some
type of technology. Even sports. You know, sports has ran
off of analytics. Now it's no more just playing the game.
It's you know, what does this say as far as
what we should do? You know, what plays should we run?
(09:00):
What should we do it practice?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
How much time should a person play?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
You know, I learned that from a I never thought
about that, but you know, King Bus was a he
had you know, he was playing basketball, and for the
coach to find out equal playing time for everybody, he
put it in a system and it gave him how
many minutes, what quarter they should play, and all that
(09:27):
stuff for it to be even you know, and I
thought I thought that was smart on his behalf.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Mm hmm. You know, what you got to say. Uh,
I would say that.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Check GPT, any software where you can allow AI to
create and they get there, they'll basically give you what
you asked for, but they would say it as a suggestion.
You can try this or not that way, then you
can try like that. And I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Bro. There was a question. There was a question and
on a question there, and I said.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Let me see what chat GPT you know says about it.
I put it in and Bro, when I mean to
tell you it gave me a paragraph and then some
and I only needed two sentences. I just needed two
questions answered. And after they gave me all that, I'm like, yo,
(10:30):
doing resumes, it's crazy easy. Doing book reports, It's crazy easy.
But at the same time.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
So many people's doing it.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Most likely it's going to be the same at some point,
people like who up in here?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You is the chat EGT because I know you don't
talk like that, So.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I mean you can catch people like this work is
not working these analytics. Okay, so what's the certain percentage
on a little Jimmy when he shoots? Can you tell me? Well, now,
a I told me that he was shooting forty one percent, So.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
We're gonna run with it. I mean, it's scary, but
then it's.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Don't I guess I would say that it's scary at
the same time, it's very helpful, but it also determines
on who uses it and how they use it.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Mmmm.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, you got a point there.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Like a movie. It's like a movie, bro.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
I mean, I ain't gonna lie to you. I'm glad
this one around. When I was in school, That's all
I guess.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
It was.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It would have been a full full point oh student.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah. I still ain't figure out how they do that,
but it's I would have been up there. I ain't
gonna lie to you. With all this information out right
now making everything easier for people, I just think that,
you know, with every good thing, it's gonna come something
something bad, you know, because people already was lacking on
(12:19):
common sense, you know, and so now with this coming,
I can only imagine you know, this next generation, boy,
they ain't gonna know nothing when it comes to the
real world.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
The computer told you that, huh, did you like use
your mind before you ask the computer?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Like?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Did you rough drafted before you just enter it? I'm like,
because screw goles on this boat like this.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I don't know what, but if you look at it,
you know, people really can't do basic stuff no more,
you know, because everybody want to do technology.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You know, technology taking some people's jobs.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
You know, some people who thought, you know, who went
to school and thought they were gonna have a career
in this one field just come and getting to replaced,
you know, by technology. I mean sure, you probably be
on the highway sometimes and you see, well, you know,
one of the wild things I see is a person
(13:26):
would have a flat tire.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
You know, you're gonna tell this a guy.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
The guy would the guy would take the tire out
the trump and put it beside the wheel, and he
would sit there and wait for Triple A or whoever
to come change his time. He was being nice, you know,
rather than just changing the tire.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You know.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
I think that's some stuff that he probably didn't learn
when he was younger, on how to change, you know,
how to do some basic stuff. You know. I think
sometimes it just come back to call, you know, to
call some people.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, it do. Yeah, the ones that just strictly in
the house.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I have to I'll be like, hey,
little fella, Hey, look, come on, let me holler at you.
Because technically he's uh on the technology wise, he's he's
pretty you know, smart. And then sometimes I have to
I ain't gonna say question him, but I gotta pick
his brain.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
A whole lot, just so he's not that statistic.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
That's like, hey dad, ah, so I got the instructions
to put this box together, but how do you do that? See,
we can't. We can't be heavy it. We need comings,
we need trialing error, we need we need to go
back in there. Ever, well, listen, sure you can go
to YouTube to figure out how to do it.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
You know. That's that's that's a.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Step down for allowing AI or somebody else to do
you know, you're getting a lesson, you know, but you
figuring it out.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh okay, that's how they go. And I ain't gonna
lie to you.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
It do have its benefits, it does though, it does
have its benefits. All technology is not bad, you know.
I think if you learn how to use the right way,
that stuff can pay off.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, okay, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Chat GBT, that stuff helped a lot.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah, But at the same time, I would say, at
the same time. It does help. But the first thing
a person does is take all the information. I'm pretty
sure that they will judge GBT will give them and
they run with it.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Researchers probably second to I mean, they probably don't even
worry about research. What's that? I don't even know. Do
people even use a dictionary anymore?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Well, I think, well, you don't have to exactly my point.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I think sometimes you have free information, you don't use
it as you would information you had to pay for.
You know, if a real estate person came to you
and said, man, I can teach you how to you know,
get in the real estate game and do the house.
(16:22):
But then he said it's free. All the information is free.
I don't think you would take that serious because you
didn't put no money behind it, you know, compared to
you having to pay for this course, and you know
you gotta recoup you gotta recoup that money that you
use for this course. So therefore, I think that sometimes
(16:46):
people would I don't know, people would use it more
if they did have to pay for it.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You know, it's like the pay Yeah, the pay version
of like chat, GPT and all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
You know. I think you're gonna try to make sure
you use it because you're paying for it rather than
a free service.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, you probably get the exclusive man.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
My cousin was a He gave his chat GPT a name.
That kind of threw me off, you know, because he
was the first person.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Huh did he talk back the cha talk back to him?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, talk about like a real person.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
You can have a conversation with the chat GPT. Oh
and I mean it's pretty It's more it's other ones
out there, so that ain't the only one. But uh yeah,
that's stuff. That stuff wold. I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
You know if you watch those movies whereas they have
like they're in.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Like a lab or something or in their house where
you know, it's something like and they'll walk in the
room a morning Celicia or something. You know, they speak back.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Well, I mean like like a captain Captain iron man.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah, and it'll talk to him. Now, I'm not gonna lie, yo,
that will be.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It will be cool. And like I said, and like
we said it all it.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Just depends on how you would use it, because it
would be a fast strain. I mean it'd be it'll
be spooky, I think at first, but when once you
get with the program and you're telling the program, look,
this is what's gonna happen. It's cool until the program
tells you, hey, listen, we're not doing that.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
All systems shut down. Now That's what I.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Always always think of, like our robot. You know, if
you use the system that steaded learning after a while,
it's only a matter of time, you know, because this
system always learning and it's getting fed so much information.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Yeah, always updated, Yeah, it's always updated.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
You know, ain't know telling them how many people in
the world is using all this AI stuff, you know.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Everything? Bro? Did you see the one dude? Now, did
you see the one rapper who did a.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Video in his cyber truck and he was on he
was on the road, and what happened was the cyber
truck shut off. It would not cut on, it wouldn't
do nothing. Did you hear about you?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, I heard the dude.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
I think he was in Detroit of something back like yeah,
like some weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Mm, and I'm like, yo, system was like, nah, you
ain't putting noneing, you ain't putting using in no video play,
and you ain't give us no ends.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Nah, so you mad if that can happen.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Imagine if somebody was to hack the system of all Tesla's,
any truck that has a self driving or just technology,
and be like, Okay, we're gonna need y'all to report
to the manufacturer company and you just be driving, You
cruise that thing, you turn and be like what I mean?
(20:25):
But they can do that though it's but on its own.
Yeah no, I mean like without you telling it anything.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I mean, it's a computer, exactly my point.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
And I can't.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I can't sit there and be like, you know what,
I ain't cyber, my guy, I'm about to deal you
just thought.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Talk to me.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
I would use that self drive, oh man. And I
can't guarantee that I'll stay awake until I get to
my destination.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I'll be listen.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I brother can stay awake when I'm driving, let alone.
If I'm just sitting there just riding, listen.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
It would have been cool if we had it when
we were first doing a podcast going back and forth.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Oh now, I would have been cool when we used
to have to go all the way to Spokane there
five hours away. Yeah, I mean, you know, man, I've
forgotten that you will sleep most of the time anyway.
You don't even remember the drive. What driver to Spokane?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Spokane?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What's dry to Spokane?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
For? Who fits?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Oh? Megan was driving?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah what I just said? You were sleep?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
You know what? The last two times I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I think every other trip I'm dipping, I'm knocking out.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
But yeah, but hey, you know, if y'all out there,
you know, it's technology making us smarter.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
A lazier.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Leave your comments, leave your leave your answer down in
the comments.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
You know what you think? You know?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Should we probably bring this conversation up again, But since
we on technology, we're gonna hop to the second to
the second question.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
That's the smooth right there. I did.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
That's smooth. I like, I see you, sir doing that note?
Now you did you get it?
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
If you can keep one app on your phone? What
would it.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Be if I can keep one app on my phone? Yeah,
I don't have to keep my color note.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Color note. Yeah, that's the one app you will keep
on your phone.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Mhm.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
You know, say, brother, you know how long I had
that app? I've had that app since d probably like
two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Two.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
No, like twenty eleven, I've had that app. Matter of fact,
about twenty ten I had that app and that's where
all of my music material is.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yeah, but that's that's the one app you want to app.
I would want to keep that app.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
So you don't want to keep the text, then.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Just call me call.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
If you only got one app, they can't call you.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Uh he he been to a you can send me
someone a Well.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah, you keep you keep the call and so the
notes will be your second app.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
That would be my second I mean, what kind of
phone is this we talking?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yeah, hey that sounds like a little kid's phone.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Hey, I'm just thinking. Whatever would I have?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah? Would you have?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Probably Internet?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Just Internet? I mean that makes sense because you can
the phone, the Internet, you have variety of things.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Yeah, I have phone and the internet, texting. I don't
know about texting. I don't know if I keep using texting. Yeah,
but yeah, phone and Internet would be my.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Go to phone.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
The Internet, Yeah, yeah, would be the phone and color note.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I just I go from there.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Bro, like I'm getting as I'm slowly getting back into
the music, I'm like, yo, matter of fact, shout out
to my coworker Jen Jennifer Hobster, when she hears this episode,
shout out shot.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
So.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I sent her a song of mine and she said
her and the kids were listening to it.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Listening to it. Nah, well, her kids.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Are grown, and she said they loved.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
They were surprised. I was like, you was surprised.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
She was like not, as if it wasn't it wouldn't
be good. But how it sounded. Shout out Kyle too. Man,
he made that thing sounds stupid perfect. I ain't gonna
hold you, but she.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Shout out Kyle.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
He said so so yeah, man, so uh had me like, bro, okay,
this is some great music.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
General. She threw me on some opera and I'm like,
you know what. Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
So that's where the color node comes in, because I mean,
to me, it's a powerful app.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I mean, even though I can just have a piece
of paper and pen, but I choose that.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
M old school. Y'all have to have the Internet, the
Internet phone.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I hate the Internet.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
If I don't, if I.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
One got that, it might want to be a landline.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
That is true, soul. We got a cell phone as
a landline.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I mean everybody got a cell phones. I don't even know.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I know there's probably one person who still got a landline,
and that's my mama because she don't want to get
with the update with the time.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Mama, what kind of fun does she have a cell phone?
Speaker 5 (26:50):
She got a cell phone, but she still used that
landline a lot. Yeah, you know, just in case, just
in case emergencies or something. You know, she don't want
to she don't want to let it go.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
That's smart, real smart bro.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, I'm not I'm not mad at it.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Can you imagine how people would be if they can
only have one app?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
How many people you think will have a social media app? Uh?
Speaker 5 (27:30):
I think a lot of the kids, A lot of
kids would have a social media app. They probably had
like TikTok or snapchat or something like that. Yeah, I
think the kids would have a social media app. Other
than the being able to call someone.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
M you know, people be on that thing religiously.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Yeah, I think I think the parents. I don't know
what what the parents have. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Some parents I think will probably.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
They have social media. Yeah, they probably have Facebook.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
You know they probably have Facebook.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yeah, Facebook is well, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Facebook, Well, they're probably they'll probably have an app, a
social media app, especially since some of them make money
from social media, you know you Yeah, so I could
see them having a social media app.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, remember when I mean, but other than that, you know, huh.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Remember when TikTok was going down and they was we
were supposed to get rid of it, and people started
freaking out because there was a main source of their income.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
So yeah, but I mean that's just like Instagram though
Instagram is the main source of people income.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Also, yeah, so they like I need the Instagram on
the Instagram, that's a rap again.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Same Facebook.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Facebook is how you know, people keep up with their
friends and stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Now mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You know and one last time you called a friend
that was on Facebook.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
From the Facebook phone.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
You called about yeah all the time. I don't think
I ever called them body from face.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Man, you'd be surprised how many people you don't have it.
They don't call your number?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well do they have?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
They have my number?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
But I mean Facebook, let me I mean not tripping
former communicator. But then as we on the phone and
I get like a real from the phone, then I'm
on the Facebook phone on top of I'm getting another call,
and I can hear it ringing while I'm on the phone.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I'm like, hey, listen, I gotta let you go. The
phone phone ringing.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't think I was called nobody off.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
I got people calling me off of Facebook.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Yeah you don't have answer.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Oh well no, I mean on this episode, my phone,
the signal, the signal where I be at when they call, Like,
I try to pick up, and it don't never go through.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
It don't ever go through.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Yeah, it don't don't. It's bad signal out here, you know.
So when I pick up, it dropped.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
We need to get Jesse on the phone. Then you
know who that is, No, the black dude from the news.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Oh no, you know it's not it's not a problem.
It's not a problem that it dropped.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
You uh, you know, it bothered me on the inside.
That's the phone, that's the phone call. But then I'd
be like, if it was that important, they'll call back again.
But the service is so bad that I probably won't
be able to pick up. So if y'all see in
(31:20):
this episode right now, I've seen the call. But then
sometimes my Facebook be messing up, you know, my phone,
so I don't see when you call it.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah that head nuts send it all. Yeah, I ain't
gonna call you back.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Just a message of me, ain't calling you back.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
If you ain't got my phone number, I don't know
what to tell you.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Hey, something like we just became friends and they calling
what he doing?
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Oh man, yeah, yeah, I had people like that. But man,
we gotta we gotta keep this show going. Uh oh yeah,
we gotta keep the show going. You know, we got
we got topics now, man, we got We're gonna have
topics for days. If people come on here, guests, you know,
(32:24):
we're gonna have quite a few guests come on. It's
a lot of topics for them and whatever fields they're in,
you know, whatever they like. Uh, I don't know this
this time around. You know, this is like I said,
this is way easier than when we first did it.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
You know, we got some we got some stuff, y'all.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Probably by the time this come out, y'all probably seen
a lot of stuff that we got going. You know,
you've probably seen a lot of clips here and there
of these others, so you know, so a lot of clips.
Once again, thank y'all for tuning in. But we on
to the next topic.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
People.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
A lot of people care so much about fitting in
versus standing out.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
It's like the black sheep of the family. You know,
they got that one ahead.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Explain, explain what you what you say?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
You know, the you know, the black sheep. Oh that
she is. Every time she come over, he come over,
he's stern up, he's stern up some issues.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Well, I'm just enlightening y'all on what's going on. This
is why I'm standing out of the way. Yeah, stand out.
That's why I'm the black sheep. Everybody else y'all. You know,
they say, oh they cool, they cool, they cool, all
right there, him right there. I can't stand there because
every time I come over, they want to be judgmental,
(34:00):
be like, you know, I'm not being judgmental. I'm just
letting you know that your kids are very disrespectful and
you wasn't raised like that. So I just just saying,
you know, because they're here and they just messed up
some stuff by granted, you know, outside granted spot and
you ain't saying nothing.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
So I'm just saying, I'd.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Rather be the black sheep. I'd rather be the person,
like you know what, I'm good. I come here every
ten Christmases whatever? What every ten Christmases, I'll show up what.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
I thought you I thought?
Speaker 3 (34:31):
You know, they be having people with such and such
a Oh, you know, they don't like to be around here.
They don't like to be bothered with us.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Be like, what are y'all doing that? They don't want
to be bothered with y'all. They don't want to fit in.
All this extra gossip y'all going around?
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Got going? I'm good?
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Oh well, I think to me, I think everybody like
to fit in and be wanted. That's true, I don't.
I think everybody want to be the light, you know.
So that's why they try to no matter what this
(35:14):
other person doing, they want to try to act like
there's somebody to this person, you know, because standing out
is not easy to do.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
You know.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Some people don't care about fitting in because they're just
gonna be themselves. But then some people they change every
time they get around a different person. You know, sometimes
they forget which person they supposed to be because they
always change so much. Yeah, they always, you know, they
always switching up. M I think as you get older,
(35:49):
you know, you would think that people wouldn't be worrying
about high school type stuff. You know, they've grown now,
so why would they need to fit in? But you
be surprised as to how many people validate themselves off
of how other people perceive them.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Mm hmmm mmm yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
You know, I like huh oh, go ahead, Oh.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I think standing out it make you.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
It makes you look weird to people because people wouldn't
understand why you wouldn't want to be fitting in like
everybody else is doing.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
You know, they're just like somebody who like very expensive clothes,
you know, who have to go around other people who
wear all these other expensive clothes. But then you got
this other person. They wear a T shirt and jogging
pants no matter where they go, because they just themselves.
You know, I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
That's my that's my wardrobe. You're gonna catch me where
I go.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
What you got, man? That's I would say. Uh.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
I know, coming to Washington, brother, that was a real
different for its standing out because I'm not gonna lie.
There's a lot of people that stand out in Washington
because they're.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
So diverse here, so you have more people just being
themselves because it's so diverse.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
And while you're having that. No, not too many.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
I'm not gonna say not too many people, but there's
a wide range of people that's just like that person's
gonna beat them. Let them be them, you know, and
not care because I'm not gonna lie bro In New Orleans,
you gonna stand out if on a holiday you ain't fresh,
if you you got on a te some sweats and
(37:54):
some crocs, they gonna rip the mess.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
They talking, Oh yeah, you ain't from h.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Like what you mean, like, bruh, I wasn't back out
in the man, Huh crop went back down in the
eighties when you was a teenager.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
No, I'm I'm saying like, uh, I'm comparing Washington to
New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Oh, that's just how it is like and I mean
New Orleans like I always looked at it.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
It was like a fashion show, because.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
You mean, like on the fourth of July like Thanksgiving
and stuff.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Man, every holiday, No mighty gras. I'm talking. And but
this is what I will say.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
After Katrina hit Uh February oh six, that was the
first time after Katrina that we had UH that the
city was open for a big event. So that year
everybody could think about it everybody was split up everything.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
How long ago?
Speaker 5 (38:51):
How long after Katrina was? MANI gr uh, like a
couple of months.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah, it was a couple of months. It was a
couple of months.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
And with that being said, people by people going here,
going there, and going every other place, you know, living,
they kind of created their own style. I was like,
you know what, I'm from New Orleans, so I'm I'm
I'm gonna make my style because nobody know me. Nobody,
you know, they don't know who I am. They just
know they know the accent. So I'm a represent let
me create a style. So that year for Mardi grad though,
(39:24):
everybody came there different, Like you had people and they
in they cruise, they look groups, and they were dressed
how they were dressed, they had they a lot of
people actually started designing clothes. Like I was one, Me
and my me and my cousin Kyle all us we started,
you know, doing that, creating our own style.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
So now you got people that's like dagn.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
So I felt like I felt like it was Washington
for that mighty growd, because man, you got this group
over there rocking jerseys, casting where jerseys in a minute,
but they fresh and you got casts over here walking,
uh with playing white shirt with the little puffer paints
on it. Then you got some cats over here that
has actual spray paint. Then you got cats over here
(40:06):
that's wearing jumpers. Man, it wasn't like that before then
everybody was. And when you get away from that, you're like, yo,
I can't believe that we.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
All look alike? Like we all that's what it was.
I'm like, nah, I don't really like.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
That because I don't act like this cat, even though well,
you got dreads. You you rocking a tea with some
jebowls and some g knights. You heard me, so all
y'all looks alike. In a click, everybody got the same thing.
It ain't gonna a lot. I was wearing rocking t
and jeebowls with the reebox.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
So imagine if you you mighty rock everybody wearing that, Man,
you can't. You ain't standing out until you get that
one person that's You're like, does this cat have a
jumper on?
Speaker 3 (40:58):
With the teams?
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Now as you walking, everybody just looking at you, like,
yo's what's up with homie?
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Homie? Ain't get the program?
Speaker 4 (41:06):
Be like, now I got the program. You know, I
rocks on my own frequency heard me, and and that's
I mean, that's how you have it.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Man. As far as.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Comparison, well, no, I used to think that, like a
writer passage down South was everybody had gold teeth, that gold. Yeah,
you everybody had gold teeth. For everybody had a grill,
you know, back before they got real famous and stuff.
But I think before the grills came, it used to
(41:38):
be like permanent, permanent, like the type that you can't
take out. Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
You know, but.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
I don't shoot. I mean that's when I was in.
I mean, I grew up with people having gold teeth.
Even my grandma had gold teeth.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
She yeah, bought them older folks, old the black women,
they staying with them gold. But it was slung you heard, yeah,
branded the granddad's too. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
You know, I think everybody had gold teeth. I don't
think I know one person down South who didn't know
somebody with a grill or some gold in their mouth.
You leave me one person, Oh yeah, you know, I
feel like yeah, but I think, uh, back to the subject,
(42:30):
I just think that, you know, sometimes fitting in is
not even worth it in my opinion, Sometimes it's good
to stand out, you know, stand on your own two
That stuff can be man stuff can be depressing for
people trying to fit in, and especially when people trying
to fight to fit in and they know that, you
(42:53):
know that it's not them. I think that's what's happening
a lot now these days, like the younger kids and stuff.
You know, a lot of them getting in trouble for
trying to fit in when they know like that's not
even them, you know, rather than them just be themselves.
But then I think it's sometimes it's hard depend on
(43:14):
where you grow up at. You know, if you grow
up around you know, rich people and you don't really
have it like that, well then you know you're gonna
act like you got like you got it, you know,
because that's what you grew up around, you know. But
if you grew up in the hood, sometimes you're a
(43:37):
victim of your you know, your environment. You know, you
don't really want to get in trouble. But shoot, that
just like fighting growing up. You know, I don't know
one person who grew up and you didn't at least
get in one fight.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
Quabba.
Speaker 5 (43:56):
Yeah, you know, these days, I think it's normal, well
out here to grow up and not get the fighting.
But you know, I grew up with everybody used to
get the fight m you know, so I don't know,
that's that's a hard subject right.
Speaker 4 (44:13):
There, But you know what I would I would say
the kids today are facing something a little more complicated
just because by the Internet being so powerful and it
being the Internet, they have it at their fingertips. So
there's a lot of things that are I mean, like
(44:36):
we can go back to AI for the Facebook creators
or the people that work for Facebook, are you know,
with their hitting agendas, you know, making these memes, you know,
like peer pressure, you know, And that's the thing. I
honestly think these social media sites are peer pressure to
the kids because their undeveloped minds or looking at things
(44:59):
like well you know what that yup, that right there,
that right there, let me try that. Like take these
challenges that they've been doing, and we talked about previously,
like the the just the pressure of seeing something so
much and everybody's just doing it. Because now, I mean
there's a challenge that will pop up today and everybody,
(45:21):
you let Lebron do it, let Drake do it, just
one time. Everybody in their mama gonna go ahead and
start doing that.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Like, what were they doing?
Speaker 4 (45:33):
I think was it the fire? No, it was was
it the fire challenge or the stacking crates? And someone said,
let me challenge y'all to another challenge to be different
than all this nonsense. And and and I think that's
the thing. Because the kids look at social media because
(45:56):
everybody's doing it. It's like that fitting in outlet that
it could be beneficial depending on like we talked about earlier,
depending on how you use it. But it's hard for
it's hard for people to stand out like content. You know,
the kids thinking one way, you know, one type of
(46:17):
content that they should put out in their mind because their.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
Algorithm is that.
Speaker 4 (46:24):
And it's like, well, what other algorithm you know is
it besides just seeing this? Because this stuff is just
start popping on there. You can you can probably search
a female can be looking for a bikini. She popped
that up. Before you know it, you go to her
search bar. Just after that, there probably be nothing but
(46:45):
females in in bikinis or making them females with only fans.
And it's just like looking for a cute pikina the
will and before you know it, bam, you're like, oh,
this is what they was talking about.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
That's the channel I'm looking do that.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
So yeah, I mean a lot of factors goes into
fitting in. And but also like going back, I think
the kids face a little it's a little more challenging
for him just because of how the peer pressure is.
Speaker 3 (47:13):
Yeah, peer pressure, big big.
Speaker 5 (47:15):
I get where they're coming from with the peer pressure.
Speaker 4 (47:18):
Yeah, and it's not only around them, it's even when
they're by themselves on their phones, trying to get away.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
You know, just hearing it, you know, seeing it, strolling.
But some we gotta change big doubts.
Speaker 5 (47:35):
I got you, I got you. Well, then we went
in on that subject. Yeah, we got you. Listen, man,
whoever you are out there, Man, if you're gonna copy somebody,
make sure you copy the right people.
Speaker 3 (47:48):
Mm hmm. You know.
Speaker 5 (47:50):
But then you know, if you're gonna stand out, more
power to you. You know, sometimes it's not beneficial to
fit in with everybody. You know, go do your thing
you So, you know, man, the last the last topic
that we have. You know, it's a motivation, motivation thing.
(48:15):
You know, what's one failure that shaped who you are today?
And if you're out there and you get to this
part of the episode, Man, leave it in the comments
of what helped shape you to be the person that
you are today? Dang, that is a good topic right there.
Speaker 3 (48:34):
That's a great topic. That's smooth. Dang, Well you won't
elaborate first.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Yeah, I could do it. I could do it.
Speaker 5 (48:45):

Let her down, you know, shoot, growing up, you know,
just mostly just me and her, So you know I
just wanted to shoot.
Speaker 3 (49:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
Oh, that ain't even a question.
Speaker 3 (49:21):
What you mean?
Speaker 2 (49:23):
It's one failure?
Speaker 3 (49:25):
Oh one fa I mean, but you can always alter
that word.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
Bright Yeah, yeah, you know. Oh yeah, I'm on the
wrong subject, y'all. Uh. What's one of the failure that
shape who I am today?
Speaker 3 (49:44):

this is how much I knew I had this job.
You know, at the time when I had the job,
you know, because I was seasoning m you know, that's
(50:26):
when I was younger, and uh, you know, they they
kept extending my contract, right and you know, I went
for the interviews and stuff like that, and you know,
you talk to the big wigs all the time and
how much they love you, and you know, everybody around there,
(50:48):
you know they love you and stuff like that. Listen,
they loved me so much that I retired my work
shirt didn't frame it.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
That's funny, you act, they did frame.
Speaker 5 (51:12):
You know, people be around town and they be like, man,
I've seen you somewhere because they I still have my
shirt frame up on the wall where they go in
for lunch and all their meetings.
Speaker 3 (51:28):
Still up, you know.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
Yeah, you know they had an article and everything. You know.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
Oh yeah, so I.
Speaker 5 (51:38):
Think that, Yeah, I think that shaped me to be
the person I am today, because at the end of
the day, you really can do whatever you want to do.
The only thing that I would say is would you
be willing to risk it? You know, because you're risking
(51:58):
something for some un stuff that you don't know. So,
you know, once that whole situation happened, I learned that
should you know, no matter how good you do, you know,
certain circumstances that's out of your control probably will hold
you back.
Speaker 3 (52:19):
You know.
Speaker 5 (52:20):
But then are you gonna cry about it? Are you
gonna gonna make something happen?
Speaker 3 (52:24):
You know?
Speaker 5 (52:25):
So I wasn't gonna just sit around and just you know,
mope and sadness, because you know.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
I'm not the first person.
Speaker 5 (52:32):
I probably won't be the last person because I'm pretty
sure it happened every day. But different circumstances. You know, race,
you know, your religion, your politics, you know, it's like endless.
So I think that was one that made me, that
helped shape the person that I am today.
Speaker 3 (52:52):
Mhm, you know what you got? Man?
Speaker 4 (52:56):
I got so many man, I think, I mean I
would Katrina wasn't a failure. But I felt like I
felt for Katrina. But I think it was before then
high school.
Speaker 5 (53:11):
Wait, you feel like you feil before Katrina? No cousin Katrina.
Speaker 3 (53:17):
That's what it felt. It felt like that, But it
wasn't that. I think for me, it was when I
got rejected.
Speaker 2 (53:29):
By a girl.
Speaker 4 (53:31):
Yeah she she she played me. And and what I
would say is I was in this I was in
this club, and uh, at school and I was I
was dating this chick, and I think at the time,
(53:51):
you know, we was that was my girl, you know,
that was my baby, you know. And I wasn't the
type back then and in the high school days. I
mean I wasn't this extravagant looking young man, but.
Speaker 3 (54:06):
You know, I was cool cat.
Speaker 4 (54:08):
I ain't really have too many girlfriends because you know,
chicks is like ah nah, you know, but I was
always quiet. So you know, I did meet just one chick,
and I started to see. I started to see how
I was when I was involved with a chick, you know,
how how it made me.
Speaker 3 (54:28):
Feel like she made me feel it was great. I'm
not gonna lie. I'm like, damn, no other chick look
at me. How she do it. I'm like, bam boom cool.
Speaker 4 (54:38):
So we ended up going out of town on a
trip for the club and we had all the time
in the world to chill, hang out, and when we
got there, it was completely opposite.
Speaker 3 (54:52):
You know. I was like, yo, something ain't right now.
Speaker 4 (54:54):
Side note, there was these chicks that were trying to
get me to break up with her. So I know
this is a crazy story, but I'm it's gonna be funny.
So I ended up breaking with the chick because I
heard her say at the end of the trip she
just came out the blue and was like, well, this
is my type and it was far from who I was.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
And I was like, you're gonna say that with me
right here. So I went talked to her.
Speaker 4 (55:21):
I was like, hey, yo, listen, I don't think we
can do this, and she was like, yeah, you're right because.
Speaker 3 (55:26):
I'm on Like I'm on gear three and you still
on one.
Speaker 4 (55:30):
I'm like, first off, that's what I was gonna tell you,
So backed that up. So we broke up.
Speaker 3 (55:38):
In the chick who I was was breaking up with
her for.
Speaker 4 (55:44):
We we ended up messing around. I wanted her to
be my girlfriend because she was pressing me hard about
like you should break up with her.
Speaker 2 (55:56):
You should break up with this when you was in school.
Speaker 3 (55:59):
I was in high school, so like I said, I
ain't getting no place. So for me, I mean, it
was huge, you know, to have old lady.
Speaker 4 (56:07):
So the chick who I uh was messing with, we
was talking and we ended up happening what we wasn't.
We wasn't a couple. We were just talking. What happened
was I found out that she had somebody, I was like,
(56:28):
all the signs were there, and to me, I was like, damn,
I just failed, because bro, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (56:36):
Bruh.
Speaker 4 (56:37):
She's she's she said, hey, wanta come to my birthday Paul.
I'm like, yeah, she's still right next door to my uncle.
So I didn't know that until I was leaving. So
I'm at I'm there at the party and moms didn't
know who I was.
Speaker 3 (56:51):
I'm thinking that she would.
Speaker 2 (56:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (56:54):
The only person that knew was a brother. So all
of a sudden, this dude come in. Everybody's like, oh hey, Twine.
Speaker 3 (57:02):
I was like, who is one whole time I was
old man. Now we have it. We have had us.
Uh we did it.
Speaker 4 (57:18):
We're gonna put it like that on high school turns.
We did it one time. So me, I was like, okay,
taking this my boot. Whole time she got her man.
Speaker 5 (57:29):
She playing along with y'all together.
Speaker 3 (57:32):
We wasn't see that's the thing. We was not together.
Speaker 4 (57:34):
We were like the secret We were like secret friends
with benefits. So whenever me and her boyfriend at the time,
like she was a player, the dude who she was
messing with at school. I found that out because we
were in the same class and she would come in
and everybody's like, all, y'alls, I'm like, if y'all only knew,
(57:56):
but whatever, you know.
Speaker 3 (57:58):
I was like, I'm cool. Her name Charles, No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (58:03):
When she would come in the class, the whole class
because I was I had a class with an old man.
His name was Joe. I got in the whole class
because they knew they talked. The whole class was like, oh,
y'alls a little cool, you know like that. So I
was like, if y'all only knew, but you know, I
kept it pushing. So that day after the party, as
(58:26):
I'm leaving because I felt pleased, like I probably talked
to her ten minutes throughout that whole time, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (58:33):
Like, yo, what am I doing? Like I already felt
like a failure as it is, I'm coming.
Speaker 4 (58:39):
Everybody like twine, So when y'all gonna do this, I'm like, so,
y'all not know what's going. So I ended up leaving
and as I'm leaving, I'm walking, I was I was speaking.
I was like, Hey, how y'all doing. My uncle's like, look, Jerry,
I'm like oh, what's happening? He was like, what are
you what You're doing wrong here? I'm like, oh, I
was just over here by I told him. I think
(59:02):
I told him my girlfriend house. I was like, no,
I said my house over here by my friend house.
He was like, oh, oh boy, you need to watch
that little girl.
Speaker 3 (59:11):
Oh boy, she fast her and her mama. I was like,
damn son.
Speaker 4 (59:17):
I felt failure all through my veins brou After that,
bro and I made a side note to myself. I said, listen,
I have to shave myself because she was one of
them chicks where we wasn't together, but when we were
in doing activities with the club, she would get upset
(59:41):
because the chick will come move and talk to me.
Speaker 3 (59:43):
She'd be like, oh, why is she over here talking
to you? I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. First off,
this is a secret thing that we got going on.
You they know who you talk to.
Speaker 4 (59:55):
So I'm like yeah, but it was a that was
one of the failures man. That shaped me because I'm like, yo,
I'm working way more than that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
And then I ended up.
Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
With my high school sweetheart and she she taught me,
or she showed.
Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Me that.
Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
I was more than you know how I was feeling,
you know, And I was like, damn, So that failure.
I look at it as a failure because bro, I
seen the signs, but being like the one cat that
you know that don't get played, I'm like, man n,
it's cool, you know, and you seeing the signs and
I'm like, damn, I really fail because she thinking.
Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
I'm a simple at you, I'm dipping, I'm like ranch boop, and.
Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
Then before i know it, I'm like damn. So it
was a lifelong worser because after that she was trying
to get back with me. I'm like, hands down and
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
I'm good. I'm like better better, Charles, you heard me.
I'm like, yeah, go holl at, homie, you're tripping.
Speaker 5 (01:01:09):
But so uh man, you know, uh yeah, that's that's
some failures who shaped who we are today?
Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Yeah, you know, old Charles.
Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
It's not like miss Meta.
Speaker 4 (01:01:26):

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Man? My week is hacted, bro, I ain't gonna hold you.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Trying to.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Save time at work, I work out of school, so
I'm preparing for the school system.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And that's uh.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Who brand new school ain't for the week, so I
can say, put my hands.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
They need somebody to keep that thing looking nice.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I mean, yeah, they chose the right person.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
But sometimes I'll be like, listen, throw this whole new
school away, give me that old building.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
But uh, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
By the time y'all get this. You know, kids are
back in school. You know, parents are back to being free. Okay, yeah,
you know they happy. You know some parents are happy
their kids are out the house, you know, hopefully. You know,
everybody had a good summer. Yeah, I guess it's that
(04:17):
busy time again. You know, before you know it, Halloween
gonna be here, Thanksgiving gonna be here, and Christmas gonna
be here.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It's gonna be a whole new year.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
School. You're gonna be like like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So, but we're gonna go on and hop until the
first topic.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, man, making us smarter all lazy?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
You know what shan light on is is technology making
us smarter all lazy?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I would say, just in my opinion, it depends on
how you use it because uh you can okay say
like h with the episodes our Facebook or Instagram. In general,
you can pre set your episodes so you can have
(05:10):
a time on them to whereas they can be set.
Only thing you have to do is upload everything, set
your timer and you could.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I mean that's smart, you know us, don't think.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Sometimes it can become a burden because it's so easy,
so convenient.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Like in the movie Wally, everybody was getting fat on
them so oh, I don't even remember that movie.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Man, I remember brou And it's crazy because the movie
came out and seven eight and.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
People were huge on little machines where they didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Have to do anything. Everything was accessible. They had a microwave,
like in their chair that they were in. They wanted
to lay down, just kick back in their chair. I'm like, dang,
y'all have a touch the ground. So I guess it
all depends on who you are, what's your intentions with it,
And I mean, just sometimes, man, it'll catch you, it'll
(06:15):
catch you being lazy. But at the same time, you
can think outside the box and make the technology work
in a.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Smart way, or it can just have you just strolling
all day.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
I think I know one thing with chet GPT oh,
to me, it does feel like I'm getting a little lazy.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I ain't gonna even lie to.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
You, you know, because I don't have to do as
much research or nothing like I used to to find
the answers.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
And with this technology, you know, you got stuff that
you do stuff around the house, you know automatic you know,
you got to think that through the floors. You don't
got to do that no more. You know, you got
the ones that mopping.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Back you wait, they got the ones that man.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Yeah, mopping vacuum floors. You know, you got the ones
that do windows. Oh, the ones that cut the grass.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Wait, they got the ones that do the windows.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Yeah, yeah, you know, and they got ones that cut grass.
And it's like, whatever answer you need to find is
that the you know, tip of your fingers. So as
well as being you know, wether saying that, you also,
you know, if you really want to do something, man,
(07:49):
this stuff gives you the whole blueprint to anything you
want to do. So as of today, I don't think
it's really not too much holding you back. Depending on
what you want to do depends on like if you
want to spend some money or you know, the shoe.
It just it just depends. But everything is very obtainable
(08:11):
these days if you use technology in the right way.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But yes, to me, it is making us lazier. You know.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
It's just like kids going to college taking tests. They
don't really have to study no more. You know, they
got all these programs out there that give them the answers.
I think it just affects them once they get in
the real working world and they have to use that
stuff they supposed to learn in college.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
But I think everything is everything is ran with some
type of technology. Even sports. You know, sports has ran
off of analytics. Now it's no more just playing the game.
It's you know, what does this say as far as
what we should do? You know, what plays should we run?
(09:00):
What should we do it practice?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
How much time should a person play?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
You know, I learned that from a I never thought
about that, but you know, King Bus was a he
had you know, he was playing basketball, and for the
coach to find out equal playing time for everybody, he
put it in a system and it gave him how
many minutes, what quarter they should play, and all that
(09:27):
stuff for it to be even you know, and I
thought I thought that was smart on his behalf.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Mm hmm. You know, what you got to say. Uh,
I would say that.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Check GPT, any software where you can allow AI to
create and they get there, they'll basically give you what
you asked for, but they would say it as a suggestion.
You can try this or not that way, then you
can try like that. And I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Bro. There was a question. There was a question and
on a question there, and I said.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Let me see what chat GPT you know says about it.
I put it in and Bro, when I mean to
tell you it gave me a paragraph and then some
and I only needed two sentences. I just needed two
questions answered. And after they gave me all that, I'm like, yo,
(10:30):
doing resumes, it's crazy easy. Doing book reports, It's crazy easy.
But at the same time.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
So many people's doing it.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Most likely it's going to be the same at some point,
people like who up in here?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You is the chat EGT because I know you don't
talk like that, So.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I mean you can catch people like this work is
not working these analytics. Okay, so what's the certain percentage
on a little Jimmy when he shoots? Can you tell me? Well, now,
a I told me that he was shooting forty one percent, So.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
We're gonna run with it. I mean, it's scary, but
then it's.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Don't I guess I would say that it's scary at
the same time, it's very helpful, but it also determines
on who uses it and how they use it.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Mmmm.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, you got a point there.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Like a movie. It's like a movie, bro.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
I mean, I ain't gonna lie to you. I'm glad
this one around. When I was in school, That's all
I guess.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
It was.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It would have been a full full point oh student.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah. I still ain't figure out how they do that,
but it's I would have been up there. I ain't
gonna lie to you. With all this information out right
now making everything easier for people, I just think that,
you know, with every good thing, it's gonna come something
something bad, you know, because people already was lacking on
(12:19):
common sense, you know, and so now with this coming,
I can only imagine you know, this next generation, boy,
they ain't gonna know nothing when it comes to the
real world.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
The computer told you that, huh, did you like use
your mind before you ask the computer?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Like?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Did you rough drafted before you just enter it? I'm like,
because screw goles on this boat like this.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I don't know what, but if you look at it,
you know, people really can't do basic stuff no more,
you know, because everybody want to do technology.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You know, technology taking some people's jobs.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
You know, some people who thought, you know, who went
to school and thought they were gonna have a career
in this one field just come and getting to replaced,
you know, by technology. I mean sure, you probably be
on the highway sometimes and you see, well, you know,
one of the wild things I see is a person
(13:26):
would have a flat tire.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
You know, you're gonna tell this a guy.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
The guy would the guy would take the tire out
the trump and put it beside the wheel, and he
would sit there and wait for Triple A or whoever
to come change his time. He was being nice, you know,
rather than just changing the tire.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You know.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
I think that's some stuff that he probably didn't learn
when he was younger, on how to change, you know,
how to do some basic stuff. You know. I think
sometimes it just come back to call, you know, to
call some people.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, it do. Yeah, the ones that just strictly in
the house.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I have to I'll be like, hey,
little fella, Hey, look, come on, let me holler at you.
Because technically he's uh on the technology wise, he's he's
pretty you know, smart. And then sometimes I have to
I ain't gonna say question him, but I gotta pick
his brain.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
A whole lot, just so he's not that statistic.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
That's like, hey dad, ah, so I got the instructions
to put this box together, but how do you do that? See,
we can't. We can't be heavy it. We need comings,
we need trialing error, we need we need to go
back in there. Ever, well, listen, sure you can go
to YouTube to figure out how to do it.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
You know. That's that's that's a.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Step down for allowing AI or somebody else to do
you know, you're getting a lesson, you know, but you
figuring it out.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh okay, that's how they go. And I ain't gonna
lie to you.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
It do have its benefits, it does though, it does
have its benefits. All technology is not bad, you know.
I think if you learn how to use the right way,
that stuff can pay off.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, okay, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Chat GBT, that stuff helped a lot.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah, But at the same time, I would say, at
the same time. It does help. But the first thing
a person does is take all the information. I'm pretty
sure that they will judge GBT will give them and
they run with it.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Researchers probably second to I mean, they probably don't even
worry about research. What's that? I don't even know. Do
people even use a dictionary anymore?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Well, I think, well, you don't have to exactly my point.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I think sometimes you have free information, you don't use
it as you would information you had to pay for.
You know, if a real estate person came to you
and said, man, I can teach you how to you know,
get in the real estate game and do the house.
(16:22):
But then he said it's free. All the information is free.
I don't think you would take that serious because you
didn't put no money behind it, you know, compared to
you having to pay for this course, and you know
you gotta recoup you gotta recoup that money that you
use for this course. So therefore, I think that sometimes
(16:46):
people would I don't know, people would use it more
if they did have to pay for it.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You know, it's like the pay Yeah, the pay version
of like chat, GPT and all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
You know. I think you're gonna try to make sure
you use it because you're paying for it rather than
a free service.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, you probably get the exclusive man.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
My cousin was a He gave his chat GPT a name.
That kind of threw me off, you know, because he
was the first person.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Huh did he talk back the cha talk back to him?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, talk about like a real person.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
You can have a conversation with the chat GPT. Oh
and I mean it's pretty It's more it's other ones
out there, so that ain't the only one. But uh yeah,
that's stuff. That stuff wold. I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
You know if you watch those movies whereas they have
like they're in.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Like a lab or something or in their house where
you know, it's something like and they'll walk in the
room a morning Celicia or something. You know, they speak back.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Well, I mean like like a captain Captain iron man.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah, and it'll talk to him. Now, I'm not gonna lie, yo,
that will be.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It will be cool. And like I said, and like
we said it all it.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Just depends on how you would use it, because it
would be a fast strain. I mean it'd be it'll
be spooky, I think at first, but when once you
get with the program and you're telling the program, look,
this is what's gonna happen. It's cool until the program
tells you, hey, listen, we're not doing that.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
All systems shut down. Now That's what I.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Always always think of, like our robot. You know, if
you use the system that steaded learning after a while,
it's only a matter of time, you know, because this
system always learning and it's getting fed so much information.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Yeah, always updated, Yeah, it's always updated.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
You know, ain't know telling them how many people in
the world is using all this AI stuff, you know.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Everything? Bro? Did you see the one dude? Now, did
you see the one rapper who did a.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Video in his cyber truck and he was on he
was on the road, and what happened was the cyber
truck shut off. It would not cut on, it wouldn't
do nothing. Did you hear about you?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, I heard the dude.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
I think he was in Detroit of something back like yeah,
like some weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Mm, and I'm like, yo, system was like, nah, you
ain't putting noneing, you ain't putting using in no video play,
and you ain't give us no ends.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Nah, so you mad if that can happen.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Imagine if somebody was to hack the system of all Tesla's,
any truck that has a self driving or just technology,
and be like, Okay, we're gonna need y'all to report
to the manufacturer company and you just be driving, You
cruise that thing, you turn and be like what I mean?
(20:25):
But they can do that though it's but on its own.
Yeah no, I mean like without you telling it anything.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I mean, it's a computer, exactly my point.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
And I can't.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I can't sit there and be like, you know what,
I ain't cyber, my guy, I'm about to deal you
just thought.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Talk to me.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
I would use that self drive, oh man. And I
can't guarantee that I'll stay awake until I get to
my destination.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I'll be listen.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I brother can stay awake when I'm driving, let alone.
If I'm just sitting there just riding, listen.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
It would have been cool if we had it when
we were first doing a podcast going back and forth.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Oh now, I would have been cool when we used
to have to go all the way to Spokane there
five hours away. Yeah, I mean, you know, man, I've
forgotten that you will sleep most of the time anyway.
You don't even remember the drive. What driver to Spokane?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Spokane?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What's dry to Spokane?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
For? Who fits?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Oh? Megan was driving?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah what I just said? You were sleep?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
You know what? The last two times I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I think every other trip I'm dipping, I'm knocking out.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
But yeah, but hey, you know, if y'all out there,
you know, it's technology making us smarter.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
A lazier.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Leave your comments, leave your leave your answer down in
the comments.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
You know what you think? You know?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Should we probably bring this conversation up again, But since
we on technology, we're gonna hop to the second to
the second question.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
That's the smooth right there. I did.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
That's smooth. I like, I see you, sir doing that note?
Now you did you get it?
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
If you can keep one app on your phone? What
would it.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Be if I can keep one app on my phone? Yeah,
I don't have to keep my color note.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Color note. Yeah, that's the one app you will keep
on your phone.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Mhm.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
You know, say, brother, you know how long I had
that app? I've had that app since d probably like
two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Two.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
No, like twenty eleven, I've had that app. Matter of fact,
about twenty ten I had that app and that's where
all of my music material is.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yeah, but that's that's the one app you want to app.
I would want to keep that app.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
So you don't want to keep the text, then.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Just call me call.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
If you only got one app, they can't call you.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Uh he he been to a you can send me
someone a Well.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah, you keep you keep the call and so the
notes will be your second app.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
That would be my second I mean, what kind of
phone is this we talking?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yeah, hey that sounds like a little kid's phone.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Hey, I'm just thinking. Whatever would I have?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah? Would you have?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Probably Internet?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Just Internet? I mean that makes sense because you can
the phone, the Internet, you have variety of things.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Yeah, I have phone and the internet, texting. I don't
know about texting. I don't know if I keep using texting. Yeah,
but yeah, phone and Internet would be my.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Go to phone.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
The Internet, Yeah, yeah, would be the phone and color note.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I just I go from there.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Bro, like I'm getting as I'm slowly getting back into
the music, I'm like, yo, matter of fact, shout out
to my coworker Jen Jennifer Hobster, when she hears this episode,
shout out shot.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
So.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I sent her a song of mine and she said
her and the kids were listening to it.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Listening to it. Nah, well, her kids.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Are grown, and she said they loved.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
They were surprised. I was like, you was surprised.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
She was like not, as if it wasn't it wouldn't
be good. But how it sounded. Shout out Kyle too. Man,
he made that thing sounds stupid perfect. I ain't gonna
hold you, but she.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Shout out Kyle.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
He said so so yeah, man, so uh had me like, bro, okay,
this is some great music.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
General. She threw me on some opera and I'm like,
you know what. Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
So that's where the color node comes in, because I mean,
to me, it's a powerful app.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I mean, even though I can just have a piece
of paper and pen, but I choose that.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
M old school. Y'all have to have the Internet, the
Internet phone.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I hate the Internet.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
If I don't, if I.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
One got that, it might want to be a landline.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
That is true, soul. We got a cell phone as
a landline.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I mean everybody got a cell phones. I don't even know.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I know there's probably one person who still got a landline,
and that's my mama because she don't want to get
with the update with the time.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Mama, what kind of fun does she have a cell phone?
Speaker 5 (26:50):
She got a cell phone, but she still used that
landline a lot. Yeah, you know, just in case, just
in case emergencies or something. You know, she don't want
to she don't want to let it go.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
That's smart, real smart bro.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, I'm not I'm not mad at it.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Can you imagine how people would be if they can
only have one app?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
How many people you think will have a social media app? Uh?
Speaker 5 (27:30):
I think a lot of the kids, A lot of
kids would have a social media app. They probably had
like TikTok or snapchat or something like that. Yeah, I
think the kids would have a social media app. Other
than the being able to call someone.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
M you know, people be on that thing religiously.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Yeah, I think I think the parents. I don't know
what what the parents have. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Some parents I think will probably.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
They have social media. Yeah, they probably have Facebook.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
You know they probably have Facebook.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yeah, Facebook is well, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Facebook, Well, they're probably they'll probably have an app, a
social media app, especially since some of them make money
from social media, you know you Yeah, so I could
see them having a social media app.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, remember when I mean, but other than that, you know, huh.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Remember when TikTok was going down and they was we
were supposed to get rid of it, and people started
freaking out because there was a main source of their income.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
So yeah, but I mean that's just like Instagram though
Instagram is the main source of people income.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Also, yeah, so they like I need the Instagram on
the Instagram, that's a rap again.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Same Facebook.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Facebook is how you know, people keep up with their
friends and stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Now mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You know and one last time you called a friend
that was on Facebook.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
From the Facebook phone.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
You called about yeah all the time. I don't think
I ever called them body from face.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Man, you'd be surprised how many people you don't have it.
They don't call your number?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well do they have?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
They have my number?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
But I mean Facebook, let me I mean not tripping
former communicator. But then as we on the phone and
I get like a real from the phone, then I'm
on the Facebook phone on top of I'm getting another call,
and I can hear it ringing while I'm on the phone.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I'm like, hey, listen, I gotta let you go. The
phone phone ringing.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't think I was called nobody off.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
I got people calling me off of Facebook.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Yeah you don't have answer.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Oh well no, I mean on this episode, my phone,
the signal, the signal where I be at when they call, Like,
I try to pick up, and it don't never go through.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
It don't ever go through.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Yeah, it don't don't. It's bad signal out here, you know.
So when I pick up, it dropped.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
We need to get Jesse on the phone. Then you
know who that is, No, the black dude from the news.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Oh no, you know it's not it's not a problem.
It's not a problem that it dropped.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
You uh, you know, it bothered me on the inside.
That's the phone, that's the phone call. But then I'd
be like, if it was that important, they'll call back again.
But the service is so bad that I probably won't
be able to pick up. So if y'all see in
(31:20):
this episode right now, I've seen the call. But then
sometimes my Facebook be messing up, you know, my phone,
so I don't see when you call it.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah that head nuts send it all. Yeah, I ain't
gonna call you back.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Just a message of me, ain't calling you back.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
If you ain't got my phone number, I don't know
what to tell you.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Hey, something like we just became friends and they calling
what he doing?
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Oh man, yeah, yeah, I had people like that. But man,
we gotta we gotta keep this show going. Uh oh yeah,
we gotta keep the show going. You know, we got
we got topics now, man, we got We're gonna have
topics for days. If people come on here, guests, you know,
(32:24):
we're gonna have quite a few guests come on. It's
a lot of topics for them and whatever fields they're in,
you know, whatever they like. Uh, I don't know this
this time around. You know, this is like I said,
this is way easier than when we first did it.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
You know, we got some we got some stuff, y'all.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Probably by the time this come out, y'all probably seen
a lot of stuff that we got going. You know,
you've probably seen a lot of clips here and there
of these others, so you know, so a lot of clips.
Once again, thank y'all for tuning in. But we on
to the next topic.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
People.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
A lot of people care so much about fitting in
versus standing out.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
It's like the black sheep of the family. You know,
they got that one ahead.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Explain, explain what you what you say?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
You know, the you know, the black sheep. Oh that
she is. Every time she come over, he come over,
he's stern up, he's stern up some issues.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Well, I'm just enlightening y'all on what's going on. This
is why I'm standing out of the way. Yeah, stand out.
That's why I'm the black sheep. Everybody else y'all. You know,
they say, oh they cool, they cool, they cool, all
right there, him right there. I can't stand there because
every time I come over, they want to be judgmental,
(34:00):
be like, you know, I'm not being judgmental. I'm just
letting you know that your kids are very disrespectful and
you wasn't raised like that. So I just just saying,
you know, because they're here and they just messed up
some stuff by granted, you know, outside granted spot and
you ain't saying nothing.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
So I'm just saying, I'd.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Rather be the black sheep. I'd rather be the person,
like you know what, I'm good. I come here every
ten Christmases whatever? What every ten Christmases, I'll show up what.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
I thought you I thought?
Speaker 3 (34:31):
You know, they be having people with such and such
a Oh, you know, they don't like to be around here.
They don't like to be bothered with us.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Be like, what are y'all doing that? They don't want
to be bothered with y'all. They don't want to fit in.
All this extra gossip y'all going around?
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Got going? I'm good?
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Oh well, I think to me, I think everybody like
to fit in and be wanted. That's true, I don't.
I think everybody want to be the light, you know.
So that's why they try to no matter what this
(35:14):
other person doing, they want to try to act like
there's somebody to this person, you know, because standing out
is not easy to do.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
You know.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Some people don't care about fitting in because they're just
gonna be themselves. But then some people they change every
time they get around a different person. You know, sometimes
they forget which person they supposed to be because they
always change so much. Yeah, they always, you know, they
always switching up. M I think as you get older,
(35:49):
you know, you would think that people wouldn't be worrying
about high school type stuff. You know, they've grown now,
so why would they need to fit in? But you
be surprised as to how many people validate themselves off
of how other people perceive them.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Mm hmmm mmm yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
You know, I like huh oh, go ahead, Oh.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I think standing out it make you.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
It makes you look weird to people because people wouldn't
understand why you wouldn't want to be fitting in like
everybody else is doing.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
You know, they're just like somebody who like very expensive clothes,
you know, who have to go around other people who
wear all these other expensive clothes. But then you got
this other person. They wear a T shirt and jogging
pants no matter where they go, because they just themselves.
You know, I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
That's my that's my wardrobe. You're gonna catch me where
I go.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
What you got, man? That's I would say. Uh.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
I know, coming to Washington, brother, that was a real
different for its standing out because I'm not gonna lie.
There's a lot of people that stand out in Washington
because they're.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
So diverse here, so you have more people just being
themselves because it's so diverse.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
And while you're having that. No, not too many.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
I'm not gonna say not too many people, but there's
a wide range of people that's just like that person's
gonna beat them. Let them be them, you know, and
not care because I'm not gonna lie bro In New Orleans,
you gonna stand out if on a holiday you ain't fresh,
if you you got on a te some sweats and
(37:54):
some crocs, they gonna rip the mess.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
They talking, Oh yeah, you ain't from h.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
Like what you mean, like, bruh, I wasn't back out
in the man, Huh crop went back down in the
eighties when you was a teenager.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
No, I'm I'm saying like, uh, I'm comparing Washington to
New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Oh, that's just how it is like and I mean
New Orleans like I always looked at it.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
It was like a fashion show, because.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
You mean, like on the fourth of July like Thanksgiving
and stuff.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Man, every holiday, No mighty gras. I'm talking. And but
this is what I will say.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
After Katrina hit Uh February oh six, that was the
first time after Katrina that we had UH that the
city was open for a big event. So that year
everybody could think about it everybody was split up everything.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
How long ago?
Speaker 5 (38:51):
How long after Katrina was? MANI gr uh, like a
couple of months.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah, it was a couple of months. It was a
couple of months.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
And with that being said, people by people going here,
going there, and going every other place, you know, living,
they kind of created their own style. I was like,
you know what, I'm from New Orleans, so I'm I'm
I'm gonna make my style because nobody know me. Nobody,
you know, they don't know who I am. They just
know they know the accent. So I'm a represent let
me create a style. So that year for Mardi grad though,
(39:24):
everybody came there different, Like you had people and they
in they cruise, they look groups, and they were dressed
how they were dressed, they had they a lot of
people actually started designing clothes. Like I was one, Me
and my me and my cousin Kyle all us we started,
you know, doing that, creating our own style.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
So now you got people that's like dagn.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
So I felt like I felt like it was Washington
for that mighty growd, because man, you got this group
over there rocking jerseys, casting where jerseys in a minute,
but they fresh and you got casts over here walking,
uh with playing white shirt with the little puffer paints
on it. Then you got some cats over here that
has actual spray paint. Then you got cats over here
(40:06):
that's wearing jumpers. Man, it wasn't like that before then
everybody was. And when you get away from that, you're like, yo,
I can't believe that we.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
All look alike? Like we all that's what it was.
I'm like, nah, I don't really like.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
That because I don't act like this cat, even though well,
you got dreads. You you rocking a tea with some
jebowls and some g knights. You heard me, so all
y'all looks alike. In a click, everybody got the same thing.
It ain't gonna a lot. I was wearing rocking t
and jeebowls with the reebox.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
So imagine if you you mighty rock everybody wearing that, Man,
you can't. You ain't standing out until you get that
one person that's You're like, does this cat have a
jumper on?
Speaker 3 (40:58):
With the teams?
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Now as you walking, everybody just looking at you, like,
yo's what's up with homie?
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Homie? Ain't get the program?
Speaker 4 (41:06):
Be like, now I got the program. You know, I
rocks on my own frequency heard me, and and that's
I mean, that's how you have it.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Man. As far as.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Comparison, well, no, I used to think that, like a
writer passage down South was everybody had gold teeth, that gold. Yeah,
you everybody had gold teeth. For everybody had a grill,
you know, back before they got real famous and stuff.
But I think before the grills came, it used to
(41:38):
be like permanent, permanent, like the type that you can't
take out. Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
You know, but.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
I don't shoot. I mean that's when I was in.
I mean, I grew up with people having gold teeth.
Even my grandma had gold teeth.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
She yeah, bought them older folks, old the black women,
they staying with them gold. But it was slung you heard, yeah,
branded the granddad's too. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
You know, I think everybody had gold teeth. I don't
think I know one person down South who didn't know
somebody with a grill or some gold in their mouth.
You leave me one person, Oh yeah, you know, I
feel like yeah, but I think, uh, back to the subject,
(42:30):
I just think that, you know, sometimes fitting in is
not even worth it in my opinion, Sometimes it's good
to stand out, you know, stand on your own two
That stuff can be man stuff can be depressing for
people trying to fit in, and especially when people trying
to fight to fit in and they know that, you
(42:53):
know that it's not them. I think that's what's happening
a lot now these days, like the younger kids and stuff.
You know, a lot of them getting in trouble for
trying to fit in when they know like that's not
even them, you know, rather than them just be themselves.
But then I think it's sometimes it's hard depend on
(43:14):
where you grow up at. You know, if you grow
up around you know, rich people and you don't really
have it like that, well then you know you're gonna
act like you got like you got it, you know,
because that's what you grew up around, you know. But
if you grew up in the hood, sometimes you're a
(43:37):
victim of your you know, your environment. You know, you
don't really want to get in trouble. But shoot, that
just like fighting growing up. You know, I don't know
one person who grew up and you didn't at least
get in one fight.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
Quabba.
Speaker 5 (43:56):
Yeah, you know, these days, I think it's normal, well
out here to grow up and not get the fighting.
But you know, I grew up with everybody used to
get the fight m you know, so I don't know,
that's that's a hard subject right.
Speaker 4 (44:13):
There, But you know what I would I would say
the kids today are facing something a little more complicated
just because by the Internet being so powerful and it
being the Internet, they have it at their fingertips. So
there's a lot of things that are I mean, like
(44:36):
we can go back to AI for the Facebook creators
or the people that work for Facebook, are you know,
with their hitting agendas, you know, making these memes, you know,
like peer pressure, you know, And that's the thing. I
honestly think these social media sites are peer pressure to
the kids because their undeveloped minds or looking at things
(44:59):
like well you know what that yup, that right there,
that right there, let me try that. Like take these
challenges that they've been doing, and we talked about previously,
like the the just the pressure of seeing something so
much and everybody's just doing it. Because now, I mean
there's a challenge that will pop up today and everybody,
(45:21):
you let Lebron do it, let Drake do it, just
one time. Everybody in their mama gonna go ahead and
start doing that.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Like, what were they doing?
Speaker 4 (45:33):
I think was it the fire? No, it was was
it the fire challenge or the stacking crates? And someone said,
let me challenge y'all to another challenge to be different
than all this nonsense. And and and I think that's
the thing. Because the kids look at social media because
(45:56):
everybody's doing it. It's like that fitting in outlet that
it could be beneficial depending on like we talked about earlier,
depending on how you use it. But it's hard for
it's hard for people to stand out like content. You know,
the kids thinking one way, you know, one type of
(46:17):
content that they should put out in their mind because their.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
Algorithm is that.
Speaker 4 (46:24):
And it's like, well, what other algorithm you know is
it besides just seeing this? Because this stuff is just
start popping on there. You can you can probably search
a female can be looking for a bikini. She popped
that up. Before you know it, you go to her
search bar. Just after that, there probably be nothing but
(46:45):
females in in bikinis or making them females with only fans.
And it's just like looking for a cute pikina the
will and before you know it, bam, you're like, oh,
this is what they was talking about.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
That's the channel I'm looking do that.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
So yeah, I mean a lot of factors goes into
fitting in. And but also like going back, I think
the kids face a little it's a little more challenging
for him just because of how the peer pressure is.
Speaker 3 (47:13):
Yeah, peer pressure, big big.
Speaker 5 (47:15):
I get where they're coming from with the peer pressure.
Speaker 4 (47:18):
Yeah, and it's not only around them, it's even when
they're by themselves on their phones, trying to get away.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
You know, just hearing it, you know, seeing it, strolling.
But some we gotta change big doubts.
Speaker 5 (47:35):
I got you, I got you. Well, then we went
in on that subject. Yeah, we got you. Listen, man,
whoever you are out there, Man, if you're gonna copy somebody,
make sure you copy the right people.
Speaker 3 (47:48):
Mm hmm. You know.
Speaker 5 (47:50):
But then you know, if you're gonna stand out, more
power to you. You know, sometimes it's not beneficial to
fit in with everybody. You know, go do your thing
you So, you know, man, the last the last topic
that we have. You know, it's a motivation, motivation thing.
(48:15):
You know, what's one failure that shaped who you are today?
And if you're out there and you get to this
part of the episode, Man, leave it in the comments
of what helped shape you to be the person that
you are today? Dang, that is a good topic right there.
Speaker 3 (48:34):
That's a great topic. That's smooth. Dang, Well you won't
elaborate first.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Yeah, I could do it. I could do it.
Speaker 5 (48:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
What shape what shaped me to be the person I
am today?
Speaker 3 (48:50):
Is?
Speaker 2 (48:52):
I think my my mama?
Speaker 3 (48:55):
Mhmm.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
You know, I think I never I never wanted to
let I never wanted to.
Speaker 5 (49:01):
Let her down, you know, shoot, growing up, you know,
just mostly just me and her, So you know I
just wanted to shoot.
Speaker 3 (49:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
Oh, that ain't even a question.
Speaker 3 (49:21):
What you mean?
Speaker 2 (49:23):
It's one failure?
Speaker 3 (49:25):
Oh one fa I mean, but you can always alter
that word.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
Bright Yeah, yeah, you know. Oh yeah, I'm on the
wrong subject, y'all. Uh. What's one of the failure that
shape who I am today?
Speaker 3 (49:44):
Uh? Huh?
Speaker 5 (49:48):
I think I think going out for a job, and
I think I didn't get it because the color of
my skin.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
Oh what job?
Speaker 5 (50:03):
I have to tell you off air, I knew, I
knew that I had that job. Listen, this is how
this is how much I knew I had this job.
You know, at the time when I had the job,
you know, because I was seasoning m you know, that's
(50:26):
when I was younger, and uh, you know, they they
kept extending my contract, right and you know, I went
for the interviews and stuff like that, and you know,
you talk to the big wigs all the time and
how much they love you, and you know, everybody around there,
(50:48):
you know they love you and stuff like that. Listen,
they loved me so much that I retired my work
shirt didn't frame it.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
That's funny, you act, they did frame.
Speaker 5 (51:12):
You know, people be around town and they be like, man,
I've seen you somewhere because they I still have my
shirt frame up on the wall where they go in
for lunch and all their meetings.
Speaker 3 (51:28):
Still up, you know.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
Yeah, you know they had an article and everything. You know.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
Oh yeah, so I.
Speaker 5 (51:38):
Think that, Yeah, I think that shaped me to be
the person I am today, because at the end of
the day, you really can do whatever you want to do.
The only thing that I would say is would you
be willing to risk it? You know, because you're risking
(51:58):
something for some un stuff that you don't know. So,
you know, once that whole situation happened, I learned that
should you know, no matter how good you do, you know,
certain circumstances that's out of your control probably will hold
you back.
Speaker 3 (52:19):
You know.
Speaker 5 (52:20):
But then are you gonna cry about it? Are you
gonna gonna make something happen?
Speaker 3 (52:24):
You know?
Speaker 5 (52:25):
So I wasn't gonna just sit around and just you know,
mope and sadness, because you know.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
I'm not the first person.
Speaker 5 (52:32):
I probably won't be the last person because I'm pretty
sure it happened every day. But different circumstances. You know, race,
you know, your religion, your politics, you know, it's like endless.
So I think that was one that made me, that
helped shape the person that I am today.
Speaker 3 (52:52):
Mhm, you know what you got? Man?
Speaker 4 (52:56):
I got so many man, I think, I mean I
would Katrina wasn't a failure. But I felt like I
felt for Katrina. But I think it was before then
high school.
Speaker 5 (53:11):
Wait, you feel like you feil before Katrina? No cousin Katrina.
Speaker 3 (53:17):
That's what it felt. It felt like that, But it
wasn't that. I think for me, it was when I
got rejected.
Speaker 2 (53:29):
By a girl.
Speaker 4 (53:31):
Yeah she she she played me. And and what I
would say is I was in this I was in
this club, and uh, at school and I was I
was dating this chick, and I think at the time,
(53:51):
you know, we was that was my girl, you know,
that was my baby, you know. And I wasn't the
type back then and in the high school days. I
mean I wasn't this extravagant looking young man, but.
Speaker 3 (54:06):
You know, I was cool cat.
Speaker 4 (54:08):
I ain't really have too many girlfriends because you know,
chicks is like ah nah, you know, but I was
always quiet. So you know, I did meet just one chick,
and I started to see. I started to see how
I was when I was involved with a chick, you know,
how how it made me.
Speaker 3 (54:28):
Feel like she made me feel it was great. I'm
not gonna lie. I'm like, damn, no other chick look
at me. How she do it. I'm like, bam boom cool.
Speaker 4 (54:38):
So we ended up going out of town on a
trip for the club and we had all the time
in the world to chill, hang out, and when we
got there, it was completely opposite.
Speaker 3 (54:52):
You know. I was like, yo, something ain't right now.
Speaker 4 (54:54):
Side note, there was these chicks that were trying to
get me to break up with her. So I know
this is a crazy story, but I'm it's gonna be funny.
So I ended up breaking with the chick because I
heard her say at the end of the trip she
just came out the blue and was like, well, this
is my type and it was far from who I was.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
And I was like, you're gonna say that with me
right here. So I went talked to her.
Speaker 4 (55:21):
I was like, hey, yo, listen, I don't think we
can do this, and she was like, yeah, you're right because.
Speaker 3 (55:26):
I'm on Like I'm on gear three and you still
on one.
Speaker 4 (55:30):
I'm like, first off, that's what I was gonna tell you,
So backed that up. So we broke up.
Speaker 3 (55:38):
In the chick who I was was breaking up with
her for.
Speaker 4 (55:44):
We we ended up messing around. I wanted her to
be my girlfriend because she was pressing me hard about
like you should break up with her.
Speaker 2 (55:56):
You should break up with this when you was in school.
Speaker 3 (55:59):
I was in high school, so like I said, I
ain't getting no place. So for me, I mean, it
was huge, you know, to have old lady.
Speaker 4 (56:07):
So the chick who I uh was messing with, we
was talking and we ended up happening what we wasn't.
We wasn't a couple. We were just talking. What happened
was I found out that she had somebody, I was like,
(56:28):
all the signs were there, and to me, I was like, damn,
I just failed, because bro, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (56:36):
Bruh.
Speaker 4 (56:37):
She's she's she said, hey, wanta come to my birthday Paul.
I'm like, yeah, she's still right next door to my uncle.
So I didn't know that until I was leaving. So
I'm at I'm there at the party and moms didn't
know who I was.
Speaker 3 (56:51):
I'm thinking that she would.
Speaker 2 (56:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (56:54):
The only person that knew was a brother. So all
of a sudden, this dude come in. Everybody's like, oh hey, Twine.
Speaker 3 (57:02):
I was like, who is one whole time I was
old man. Now we have it. We have had us.
Uh we did it.
Speaker 4 (57:18):
We're gonna put it like that on high school turns.
We did it one time. So me, I was like, okay,
taking this my boot. Whole time she got her man.
Speaker 5 (57:29):
She playing along with y'all together.
Speaker 3 (57:32):
We wasn't see that's the thing. We was not together.
Speaker 4 (57:34):
We were like the secret We were like secret friends
with benefits. So whenever me and her boyfriend at the time,
like she was a player, the dude who she was
messing with at school. I found that out because we
were in the same class and she would come in
and everybody's like, all, y'alls, I'm like, if y'all only knew,
(57:56):
but whatever, you know.
Speaker 3 (57:58):
I was like, I'm cool. Her name Charles, No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (58:03):
When she would come in the class, the whole class
because I was I had a class with an old man.
His name was Joe. I got in the whole class
because they knew they talked. The whole class was like, oh,
y'alls a little cool, you know like that. So I
was like, if y'all only knew, but you know, I
kept it pushing. So that day after the party, as
(58:26):
I'm leaving because I felt pleased, like I probably talked
to her ten minutes throughout that whole time, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (58:33):
Like, yo, what am I doing? Like I already felt
like a failure as it is, I'm coming.
Speaker 4 (58:39):
Everybody like twine, So when y'all gonna do this, I'm like, so,
y'all not know what's going. So I ended up leaving
and as I'm leaving, I'm walking, I was I was speaking.
I was like, Hey, how y'all doing. My uncle's like, look, Jerry,
I'm like oh, what's happening? He was like, what are
you what You're doing wrong here? I'm like, oh, I
was just over here by I told him. I think
(59:02):
I told him my girlfriend house. I was like, no,
I said my house over here by my friend house.
He was like, oh, oh boy, you need to watch
that little girl.
Speaker 3 (59:11):
Oh boy, she fast her and her mama. I was like,
damn son.
Speaker 4 (59:17):
I felt failure all through my veins brou After that,
bro and I made a side note to myself. I said, listen,
I have to shave myself because she was one of
them chicks where we wasn't together, but when we were
in doing activities with the club, she would get upset
(59:41):
because the chick will come move and talk to me.
Speaker 3 (59:43):
She'd be like, oh, why is she over here talking
to you? I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. First off,
this is a secret thing that we got going on.
You they know who you talk to.
Speaker 4 (59:55):
So I'm like yeah, but it was a that was
one of the failures man. That shaped me because I'm like, yo,
I'm working way more than that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
And then I ended up.
Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
With my high school sweetheart and she she taught me,
or she showed.
Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Me that.
Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
I was more than you know how I was feeling,
you know, And I was like, damn, So that failure.
I look at it as a failure because bro, I
seen the signs, but being like the one cat that
you know that don't get played, I'm like, man n,
it's cool, you know, and you seeing the signs and
I'm like, damn, I really fail because she thinking.
Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
I'm a simple at you, I'm dipping, I'm like ranch boop, and.
Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
Then before i know it, I'm like damn. So it
was a lifelong worser because after that she was trying
to get back with me. I'm like, hands down and
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
I'm good. I'm like better better, Charles, you heard me.
