they sadly, we we have some issues we have. You know,
I was hacked on Facebook for those who are watching,

(05:19):
so that Alison, your your thing wasn't hacked, but maybe
for security they don't then allow us to stream from
your location, so that big audience of one hundred thousand
plus we don't have. And my account, which is still intact,
didn't allow it either. So now we have our LinkedIn,
our LinkedIn people, and our YouTube people, so shout out

(05:39):
to you and also our our our Instagram people now
as well. I don't believe your hacked. I just know

Oh you like that? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (06:13):

Well, first up, gonna go to your sheet there.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yeah, we're still we're still waiting on the money.

Speaker 9 (06:45):
So okay, Well for well, fortunately for me, I found
out it's happening at all universities.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
Yeah. That's the sad thing.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
I know.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
And you know, I think we mentioned it last time,
but our baby, Spencer's roommate affected just not going to
be there this quarter, this semester because this doesn't have
the funding.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
So it's a real issue, you know.

Speaker 6 (07:05):
So we're in a space where you hear a lot
about debt forgiveness from uh this, uh you know, the administration.
So and then in the same time, though, where's the funday?
So yeah, say a prayer for all the kids.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
I hope you stay on track. So we're waiting.

answer for you.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Carl working tonight, Yes.

Speaker 8 (07:31):
I'll be at Arundel Mills tonight.

Speaker 9 (07:33):
I switched to Tuesday nights and Owings Mills at TGI Fridays,
so I'll be at the TGI Fridays and Arundel Mills
this evening and i'll be next Tuesday. I will be
back at the TGI Fridays in Owings Mills, So next mills.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
He's the king of the mills at the mills.

Speaker 8 (07:50):
Exactly right.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
Okay, what you got today?

Speaker 9 (07:55):
All right, let's start with a little bit of something
a little different.

Speaker 8 (07:58):
I've pulled this out of one of my archives.

Speaker 9 (08:01):
Okay, of the following is a well known work by
the sculptor Selma Burke. Did she do the Lincoln Memorial,
the profile of Franklin D. Roosevelt or Martin Luther King's memorial?

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Do you know?

Speaker 4 (08:20):
I do not, but I think it's I think it's
going to securve ball. I think it's the first.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
One, and I think it's the I think it's the second.

Speaker 8 (08:27):
Option, and it is the second.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
In my brain. It was in my brain somewhere well.

Speaker 8 (08:35):
And the unique thing about it is her sculpture of
his profile is the sculpture is the is the same
profile on the dime?

Speaker 7 (08:44):
Go ahead, My dining piece is you have a very
edumacated woman. She's beautiful inside and out and smart and
smart and has a good job.

Speaker 9 (08:57):
So next up. Football season starts next week. So what
team drafted African American player Bobby Mitchell in nineteen sixty
two to become the last team to integrate.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, I know this one.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
The last team was my team. Yes, yeah, Washington blank skin, Yes.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
The Washington Racist. Well that was the team.

Speaker 9 (09:25):
That's they find a way, but you know they're you
know that's that was when I found that out. For
some reason, I was thinking it was Baltimore and then
when I realized it was Washington, I was like, okay,
it makes sense.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
On a side note of Carl, I found out something.
I was like, that's interesting. The now, of course my
brain's not working, but so you know, the NFL owners
really are just really that class. They're just they were
the wealthy, right, they were the wealthy oil barons and
others who ran world. Yeah, so I found out I

(09:59):
saw an article was just sing Kansas City's owner, I'm
blank right now? Who Who's Who's a famous person about
and his grand The grandfather was the famous person, the
famous oil person. And it's interesting, Kansas City kind of
has a good reputation, whereas the Redskins kind of have

(10:20):
a bad reputation as far as ownership being racist. Kansas
City doesn't have that same reputation because of the ownership.
But the grandfather come to find out used to fund
the Nation of Islam because he believed in separation of
the races. Years he funded the Elijah Elijah Mohammad Nation

(10:43):
of Islam. And also you remember those conversations about the
Klan having a relationship with the Nation of Islam. Yes,
because separatists were in line with that. So he was
one of the thunders of the Nation Islam back in
the sixties. And then it's interesting how in the generation though,
the reputation and the sense of the family change.

Speaker 8 (11:00):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 9 (11:01):
Yeah, that's interesting because I know, I know Cleveland was
you know, of course it was very very you know,
Jim Brown and so forth. So they were, and a
couple other teams in New York and so forth. But yeah,
I was that's surprised at Washington. It didn't surprise him
to when I found out it just I just expected
it to be someone else. And last, but not least,

(11:21):
going back a little history, Dorry Miller, I'm sure you've
heard of him, was the first African American to receive
the Navy Cross of Valor for his bravery during what war. Now,
I figured you two would know that, So this is
more for your audience.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Well, you know, so funny.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
I see him, I see him, I see the favorite,
the famous picture, I see the famous action.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
But actually I'm blank on the war.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
Oh and I am too, Sadly, I don't readily know
this history.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
But when you said, see you have thought about World
War two for.

Speaker 6 (11:54):
Some reason, m bel Bottoms with the outfit, the bell
Bottoms and the name, that's what I thought.

Speaker 7 (12:01):
So, Carl, I know, thank you for giving us credit
for being brilliant, but we are not brilliant.

Speaker 9 (12:09):
He was a cook who took over a battle gun
at Pearl Harbor World War.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Two, World War two. Go, babe, her essence even knows which.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
World War two? Carl, before we let you go.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
And we're talking about this today, which I hate to
even talk about. But did you see the news that
came out that one of these what I'm assuming is
a very far right wing arm of the Republican Party
came out and basically said, the National Federation of Republican

(12:46):
Assemblies that they're pulling up the dread Scott decision to
say that Kamala Harris is not eligible to run for
president because of because she's not a citizen, because in fact,
she is an enslaved person, under the Constitution.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Have you seen this?

Speaker 8 (13:04):
No, I have not.

Speaker 6 (13:06):
Yeah, so they cited the eighteen fifty seven dread Scott
Supreme Court decision, which I'm pretty sure it was overturned,
so they didn't say that last part, but the stated
that people that but enslaved people weren't citizens to argue that.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
She is ineligible to run according to the constitution.

Speaker 8 (13:23):
So you're now all enslaved again, that's what.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
And you know it, really I've talked.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
About this with people and because it really upset me
even that she would be there and thereby all of
you know, people of African scent in this country would
be considered enslaved and really not.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
Citizens, and so it really struck me. It really bothered me.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
But if people have been just like, don't it's ridiculous,
and you know, but had you heard that.

Speaker 9 (13:50):
I have not heard about that, And I will definitely
look into it because and that's it's always interesting because
a lot of people get confused between the Pless versus
Ferguson and the dread Scott decision and how those two different.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, you know, but that would.

Speaker 9 (14:02):
Be so basically the whole NFL, NBA, major League Baseball. Yeah,
so I guess that would I guess we would be
entitled reparations now, wouldn't we.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Well, no, because you'd still be contill be technent this said.
The group says that it also is challenging those who have.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
I think parents who were born in this country.

Speaker 6 (14:26):
So the same group is challenging the right of vivid
Ramaswami and Nikki Haley to appear on the Republican primary
ballots because they're basically saying, no person except a natural
born citizen shall be eligible or a citizen of the
United States at the time of adoption of the Constitution
shall be eligible for the office of president. So they're
just I I want to feel like when this came out,

(14:51):
people were even like even people in the Trump campaign
were like, no, this is ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
Well that's what I want to hope.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
So it's a it's a it's a group.

Speaker 6 (14:59):
It's not you know, it's a group and it's out
in the world and it's its stakes.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
It makes you feel.

Speaker 9 (15:04):
Like the fact that they get impressed and maybe it
maybe it might because we got the Internet, because I
do remember when they were trying to say it was
like three black guys who were saying that they were
in the Black Panther and there's the new Black Panther movement.

Speaker 8 (15:16):
But it was like three.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
Guys getting arrested. I think the guy got arrested. Yeah, yeah, great,
We're gonna teach you like we treated me.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Anyway, just a little bit of history, because it's a
lot of it isn't pretty, but that is interesting.

Speaker 8 (15:31):
And very much so.

Speaker 9 (15:34):
One question for you, Alison, when you were at w
T t G, did you know anybody in the traffic department?

Speaker 5 (15:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:40):

Speaker 4 (15:46):

Speaker 5 (15:47):

Yeah, anyway, Okay, let's go on with the show for
the people. But the two people in the room they deserve.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah, we'll go ahead and deserve it. Can you go
ahead and do that?

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Okay, So this is now.

Speaker 7 (18:48):
Yeah, copy, just copy that, put it on your on
your page. So dude, so good news. Wendy Williams fans
have a reason to celebrate. She was spotted in public
for the first time in over a year. Allegedly, the

(19:08):
siding occurred on August nineteenth. She visited a store in
New Jersey and posed for a photograph with the owner.
According to page six, she was sharp, upbeat and aware,
even bubbly. She apparently was looking for holistic products. The
store owners said her son, Kevin Hunter Junior, was there
explaining some of the products to her.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
Okay, we say it's doctor Selby's son.

Speaker 7 (19:29):
Well, right, I was. I wasn't sure about that. Was
that that's the case. There's a picture of her and
the case, and so you.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Can tell by the birkenstocks.

Speaker 8 (19:40):
It's and the.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Picture on his toes indicate that's what that is.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
I know what is in that store. I just feel
like it.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
The more I just feel like if I just walked
into that store, like the toxins would just flush out
of my system.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
But doesn't Wendy look good. It's crazy right to which.

Speaker 6 (19:58):
I'm trying to understand, Like, what's the real story here
is she? Because basically she had that same type of
dementia that like Bruce Willis has and I didn't think
that that was necessarily reversible.

Speaker 7 (20:13):
Well they say she was. The son was explaining to
her what the products due okay, and things like that, so.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
You know, maybe maybe there's some you know, for Kevin Junior.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
I was so glad to see her.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
I was so happy to see her looking more like herself,
and you.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
Know, I was just happy to see it.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
I'm hoping that she's I'm hoping that somehow she's better, Yes,
because that whole docuseries and the whole thing was really
disturbing to see.

Speaker 7 (20:40):
That definitely was so okay, if you want to happen
in our relationship stuff first, or you want to happen
to the relationship stuff with Cam Newton and and doctor Shying, Oh.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
Let's go with Cam and then we'll go to ourts.

Speaker 7 (20:54):
Okay, So I'm going to have my first my observation
and I've been watching there's a whole new dynamic where.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
What happened.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
I said, why I can't out like this, maybe I
can't work black.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
This.

Speaker 7 (21:09):
What's happening is, which I think is a good thing
and also interesting thing. How it's going to affect or
how it affects, you know, our world as far as
as as far as people who are doing broadcasts now,
a lot of them are former professional athletes, and what

(21:32):
we're seeing.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
Is the.

Speaker 7 (21:37):
Now because these guys are many of them are millionaires
and wealthy. They're rich guys, and you're starting to see
that the lifestyle of the rich and wealthy is different
than the average guy. But I think that's having an
effect though on I think because of social media is
having an effect on the conversation around relationships because a

(21:59):
lot of moves what you really realize and I think
you again, you know how you know something but you
never really think about it, you know, when you hear
these guys talking about their relationships, even though like you know,
it kind of seems like a lot of times the
marriag Go round of kind of the same, kind of
like supermodel influencers that kind of date these guys. You know,

(22:20):
hearing their perspective makes you go, Okay, I get it.
He's like you number one. They know how to date,
they know how to date these guys, how to keep
their name out of the out of you know, out
of the streets and things like this.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
So it kind of creates a loop of that.

Speaker 7 (22:31):
But the part too of it is how simply dating
them can change your life.

Speaker 5 (22:36):
You're talking about the women who famous men.

Speaker 7 (22:38):
I'm talking about the women of the famous men, but
I'm also talking about the fact that they are twenty
plus year old millionaires. Simply dating them can change their
young lady's life. Okay, So it goes from like a
normal no, you can't, there's no comparison. I'm gonna go
grab a cup of coffee. This guy can actually you
start dating him. He's now paying for your mama house
in your house, yeah, and can fly.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
You all over the world. That it's different.

Speaker 7 (23:00):
So anyway, a lot of these people have a lot
of relationships going on.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
So I don't know if this was smart. So cam
Newton invited.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
A psychiatrist into his camp, and he has eight kids
by three different women. I think he was thinking he
could probably out talk the scenario or justify it, and
instead he kind of got handled. But I respect the
fact that he had the courage to do it. They
have the conversation. Okay, so we have the video. So
sit back and enjoy.

Speaker 10 (23:37):
People see my situation, and I think that I'm not.

Speaker 11 (23:41):
What situation?

Speaker 10 (23:43):
See my situation. That's a very vague question in this
for you.

Speaker 12 (23:46):
What the situation are you referring to that they're looking
at and thinking it's not high function just my life,
your life entirely.

Speaker 11 (23:53):
Or your life in my life, my life, my life.

Speaker 12 (23:55):
See, don't deflect. Let's stay here. And they think that
you're low functioning.

Speaker 11 (24:00):
No, I don't.

Speaker 12 (24:00):
You just said people see your life, I think you're
not high functioning. Opposite of that would be low.

Speaker 11 (24:04):
No, no, no, okay.

Speaker 10 (24:05):
So I'm not married, right, I have beautiful children.

Speaker 11 (24:10):
How many eight? I thought I didn't do my research.
I thought it was four. But eight?

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Okay?

Speaker 11 (24:17):
How many women?

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Three? And this is the kicker.

Speaker 11 (24:22):
I want more now by multiple women? What sentence?

Speaker 12 (24:28):
Wife?

Speaker 4 (24:28):
I just want God to bring them.

Speaker 10 (24:30):
And because my point is this, my desire to get
married is lower than my fear of divorce. So as
you had said, doctor Brian, you said it, I did
said I will agree. I'm just taking my time.

Speaker 13 (24:48):
Drinking and driving is a decision that could change your
whole work, drinking, face and life altering injury or potentially
your decision drink and drive could permanently change someone else's world,
whether you them or leave their loved ones grief. The
next time you're out drinking color rah, a sober or
a designated. The only decision that would better is a decision.

Speaker 8 (25:14):
Drive paid for.

Speaker 12 (25:19):
You're not taking your time, I am though. You're being
very action based. You're not taking your time. You're being
very action based.

Speaker 11 (25:26):
I'm taking my time.

Speaker 12 (25:27):
You're being very action based. You have eight kids with
three different womens. You are creating, pro creating and multiplying.
That is not taking your time. You're being very selectively active. Okay,
so you're creating. In disclaimer, the kids are innocent, They
are beautiful and amazing.

Speaker 11 (25:44):
Anything I say has none to do with the babies.

Speaker 12 (25:45):
Because I can't wait to be a mom and I
love love, love, love love love the kids period.

Speaker 11 (25:51):
But you are proactively.

Speaker 12 (25:55):
Choosing where you want to be active at and where
you want to take your time. You want to take
your time in having a wife because of your own fears.
But you will and I say this with all respect
and love. What I'm about to say next, okay, cam,
but you will selfishly create broken families even if you're
in their life and you're a proactive father, and I

(26:15):
believe you're an amazing daddy. I can only imagine with
just your presence and knowing you thus far. But these
families are still broken. Every child cannot have Papa in
the house with them, so some child, if not all,
all will end up with some kind of deficit without
Daddy being there. Now, you chose to do that. I'm
not saying you sat there and welcome one morning and

(26:36):
said I want to be selfish today, so I'm gonna
go make a baby, not saying that at all. But
those are selfish acts at the expense of your fear.

Speaker 11 (26:44):
So at what point do you feel the fear? Do it? Anyways?

Speaker 12 (26:47):
And yet that is a low functioning behavior to say
that I am going to create these.

Speaker 11 (26:53):
Homes and let me go better.

Speaker 12 (26:55):
I'm gonna build these houses and put kids and these
beautiful women and kids in them, but I ain't gonna
create a home in them.

Speaker 11 (27:00):
I'm a wait to I dissipate.

Speaker 12 (27:03):
My fear to find a wife where I'm still gonna
be fearful with, because there's no such thing as not
having some type of nerve or some type of feeling
behind marroring somebody who you're spending your life with, and
then I'm a build a home with her while all
these other beautiful babies have houses.

Speaker 11 (27:20):
That's completely unfair, and it's selfish.

Speaker 12 (27:24):
Yeah, almost, that's completely unfair in that selfish and so yes,
you're taking your time in this department, but you're not
taking your time in this department, which means you're compartmentalizing,
and compartmentalizing never works. Compartmentalizing hurts everybody involved, everybody who's
in this box and that box and this box and
that box and this box. And then here you go

(27:44):
over here trying to figure out what box you're gonna
feed or entertain or do. Then you're looking outside to
figure out who's your next victim to put in a box.
It's unhealthy and it's a huge dysfunction within our black
community that I truly believe personally, statistically, mental health wise,
and community wise that black man.

Speaker 11 (28:06):
Will sun black men will what stop stop.

Speaker 12 (28:09):
Doing that, that they would stop that dysfunctional behavior of
compartmentalizing and creating houses not homes, and then finally a
home with the wife, and then you have all these other.

Speaker 11 (28:22):
Houses that are homeless.

Speaker 12 (28:24):
But you over here at some point when you do
get a wife, If you do, I'm saying, if that's
what you want, you will to get whatever you want.
You're trying to create a home. Totally dysfunctional and extremely
that's a Pito me of selfish, Pito me of selfish.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
All right, a lot to impact there. Do you think
he regretted having her on?

Speaker 6 (28:45):
No, I think that whatever he's going to say next,
he's going to believe that money is going to him,
so that.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Without their mom it just.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
So you that's great. But well I.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Think that, yeah, I think that basically he probably regretted.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
It was that moment.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
You know, he's sitting there with this whole look, and
I would think if somebody came on there and studied
his body language with his foot going in his posture,
that it was an uncomfortable come to Jesus' situation that
he regretted initiating. And you know, here's the thing, so
him and I know we were talking about Nick Cannon
to Nick Cannon has a lot of kids too, and
I think there's this sort of desire to leave your

(29:33):
mark on the world through having all these different kids, right.
And I've not spoken on it in just general terms
because I feel like, who am I to speak on
their choices and these are real people. But if I'm honest,
I definitely do agree with what the therapist is saying
there because I don't care how much money it is.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
Like I would think that.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
To have a child in a home where you had,
you know, these two loving.

Speaker 5 (30:02):
Parents, if you could do it, like I get it
some you.

Speaker 6 (30:04):
Know in your situation, like your parents weren't together, so
you were raised in a loving environment. I understand that
kids can continue to thrive in that environment. But when
you go into it knowing, well, I'm not really I'm
not going to be with this mother, but I you.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Know, like he said, God, will I want more? You know, no, bro,
this is like the price of admission for this.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
Is when you at least try to create a healthy
two parent home.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Do you know what I'm saying now?

Speaker 6 (30:35):
And the reason why I hesitate to say this is
because for all the people who are not in that situation,
It's not me commenting on your life or what the
home is.

Speaker 5 (30:45):
But I'm talking about people. I'm talking about people who
will like cam like Nick Canon, who willingly.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Just are like, yeah, they want to have as much
many kids with, doesn't matter with whom, and I'm gonna
be able to take care of themself.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
There's something about that.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
If you asked a kid, would you rather have you know,
daddy in the house in any way and these two
parents together versus an unlimited lifestyle of riches, I bet
that kid would want to have both of his parents
in the home. And so yeah, I agree with a
therapist there, and I know that she's probably gonna get
backlash because she's speaking on it, but that's just how I.

Speaker 5 (31:23):
Feel at the end of the day.

Speaker 6 (31:24):
If you can like to go into it willing and
knowing you have no intention of being with this woman.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
But they're even the whole thing that they're gonna live
with me.

Speaker 6 (31:33):
That to me is there's something wrong with that, Like
I'm just gonna make all these kids and they're gonna
live with me, so they're gonna be fun.

Speaker 10 (31:39):
No, Like.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
For me, it is it's giving, immature, it's.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
Giving, selfish and it's just like, these are the things
that I want without doing the other part that comes
with it.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
So that's how I feel about it.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
I don't know, but I have in the past always
hesitated from commenting on it. But seeing her break it
down like that, and in this space, I gotta say,
just to have kids, just to have kids, and then
especially you're gonna keep them.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
At they're gonna come live with me.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
It's almost like you're treating these women like their you know,
fact baby factories. Yeah, that's how that's what it's giving
to me. And he seems unseerious. That's what he seems like, ironically,
that's just what that's my opinion.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
What's going on? Ronald truth Hunt.

Speaker 7 (32:21):
Yes, what irony is she What she went on to
say was she was that her mother was an addict,
her dad who wasn't, who had multiple families, but he was.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
She's a daddy's girl.

Speaker 7 (32:33):
So she's saying, just because you come from it can't
doesn't mean you can't have an amazing life. But the
reality was, like you said, daddy not being in home
is a big factory. Even though he's my friend and
he's a great dad, I feel like if you can't do.

Speaker 6 (32:45):
It in this situation because you started off by saying, basically,
do these very high paid public, very public people have
a different reality, And they have a different reality in
that they are willingly going into this situation knowing they're not.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
They're not.

Speaker 6 (33:01):
They have no intention of marrying, not even marrying. I mean, look,
does everybody have to get married?

Speaker 5 (33:06):
Okay, no, but with no intention of trying.

Speaker 6 (33:09):
To make a relationship work here And I think that
does a disservice to the child I.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Do, and so I put down in my notes.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
Ironically, the late Kevin Samuels created this high value man conversation,
high value man conversation. What I liked what she did
was she talked about talking about a high functioning person,
and she broke down the high functioning person versus the
high value person. Value obviously meaning you have money, who
shows that that's his? So he invited her on and

(33:40):
then Nick Cannon did the same. So I don't have
we didn't do Nick Cannon. Let you know what, here's cams.
I thought she had full explanation, and I think that
benefits us all to hear the breakdown.

Speaker 6 (33:51):
Here's the thing, And I guess what if that was
on a public forum. They're going to come for her.

Speaker 7 (33:59):
The everybody's talking about it, everybody's actually there. They're actually
pretty heavily matched.

Speaker 6 (34:07):
That's good. I'm glad because it's almost like, yeah, it's
always surprising to me how much it seems like women
are hated a lot.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Well, she and she was breaking down. I thought about
it that she was braved to do that.

Speaker 7 (34:23):
She was breaking it down the dynamic that I think
really didn't be broken, because again, I think the high
value man this conversation. People have no brothers making forty
five thousand now think they're anyway high value man. Conversation
he was basically Cam was saying something that I've seen
definitely not true, and our relationship is a prime example
of it. He was saying that no high value woman

(34:45):
will deal with a man who's not a high value man,
and that's not true. She pointed out that in fact,
most of the time a high functioning man, regardless of value,
can find a woman, and in fact this numbers show
that most high functioning men.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
Are with high value high functioning women.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
Well, explain high functioning.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
High functioning basically, emotional intelligence is high.

Speaker 7 (35:15):
You know there's somebody who's somebody who knows who they are,
somebody who's solid, somebody who's high character, somebody, because that
does nowadays, that gets young way and you see, that's
what I'm saying with young people, see young people.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
That I'm a high value manity, high value.

Speaker 8 (35:28):
If you have a low.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Well, if your.

Speaker 7 (35:31):
Functionability is low, then what we're talking about, you know.
And so I thought that was a good conversation.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
And I'm glad. I'm glad people are not just whatever,
because at the end of the.

Speaker 6 (35:41):
Day, if I'm if I'm speaking openly and honestly, if
you if you go in willing, if you if you
create all these different homes with all these different kids
in and you kind of pop in and.

Speaker 5 (35:50):
You pop out, Yeah, you're not you're not you're not trying.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
And so as many people.

Speaker 6 (35:57):
Not, no, normal people don't do that. That is like
a I guess normal people maybe do do it, but
it's different because you can't afford to do it.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
You can't afford it.

Speaker 7 (36:05):
And so speaking of relationships, we had a great uh,
I think revelation or situation happened kind of like two
nights in a row in regard to communication and the family,
right and I think we wanted to talk about it
right right.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
So.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
It's so funny. We've talked about this before.

Speaker 6 (36:24):
We think we've cracked the code, we've cracked the communications code.
We're still working on it though, So weigh in on this,
weigh in on this one. It's like, for me, I
try so much to not be a judgmental mother and
wife and all of that, but even when you try
to do that, sometimes this face it betrays me. And

(36:48):
so I might be saying, yeah, that's that does look good.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
Like if you did the yard, but maybe you didn't.

Speaker 6 (36:55):
You just mowed it, and like the weeds are still
there and it's not really right. So so you might
have spent all day in the yard just mowing the grass,
but maybe didn't put like the finishing touches on it.
So when I come out after like two hours and
I just happened, and then I look like this, You're
concentrating on my face. You're waiting, oh, hey, you don't

(37:16):
like it. I could see it in your face you
don't like it, and I don't even know.

Speaker 5 (37:20):
That my face is doing that, though I am appreciative.

Speaker 6 (37:22):
So we had one of those moments and it was
like a full blow up market mad Joe.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
He was snapperlicious about it, and I was just like,
what do you want me to do?

Speaker 6 (37:36):
And so you said, I would rather you just say
I don't like how you did this, because it betrays
you anyway.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
And in that moment, I felt like I just got
to go to TJ.

Speaker 8 (37:45):
Max.

Speaker 5 (37:45):
I got to get out of this house for a
second because.

Speaker 6 (37:47):
I felt like there was nothing really that I could
do because I was trying not to be, not to
be judgmental, stand in the space of gratitude, which I was,
but something wasn't done the way that I would have
done it. And that's the thing, y'all. It's like two
different people. And sometimes you expect things to be done
the way that you want. You want something to be clean,

(38:08):
the way you want it to be done, you want
something to whatever, and it's just not the same. So
how do you get to that? And what you said
was you would just prefer that. I said, I don't
like it. But that's that's who I've tried really not
to be because I appreciate what you have done in
this case basically because I know it's hard to follow.
In this case, we have a sectional in our basement,

(38:29):
and I sent Mark a picture of how it's supposed
to because we had taken it apart and when I
saw it, it wasn't put back in the shape and
the style that I wanted it to be, and you
were like, well, the pieces aren't all there. So we
were having basically two different conversations. And the same thing
happened with one of our daughters. We were in a
discussion and she was talking about we were having a

(38:52):
parallel conversation. So in that in that regard, we were
never going to see ey to eye because.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
You're going like this.

Speaker 5 (39:01):
And feelings get hurt and emotions get elevated and all
of that. So what do you do? So, yeah, it
was some breakthroughs, and so the.

Speaker 6 (39:09):
Takeaway you said, just do it how you want to
do it later and don't say nothing.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
That's basically what you said, right.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
Well, no, I was saying.

Speaker 5 (39:18):
That's my which and again doesn't sound that healthy.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
Well, no, that's my technique. That my technique. So what
I'm saying, so to.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Come down and be like, Okay, babe, this looks great.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Thank you, I wouldn't say that either.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
Just don't say anything.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
I just be like Okay, no, no, I guess what
I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
So I think it's a no win situation, I think,
and I think this is what I think in relationships
sometimes because we're two adults who have two different eyes
and want things done differently.

Speaker 5 (39:43):
Sometimes just you just want to take the l actually,
but I.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
Still know to be more clear about what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (39:49):
What I said was actually that you're right, we're all
we're all different, right, We're all different, and so how
we do stuff is just different.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
So I just said, just go ahead and say it, because.

Speaker 7 (40:00):
You you you have you have real expectations on certain things
that I don't have, you know what I mean. That's
and that's the that's and and that's the difference. And
so that's why I said go ahead and say it,
because I really don't care as much as you do
about blank, you know what I.

Speaker 5 (40:15):
Mean, But you care about my reaction.

Speaker 7 (40:17):
I care about the reaction only because I was given
an order with specific with specific things, and so that's
what it was. It was like that you gave me
a picture of the specific thing that was not exactly
what that was, and so I was I was like
very I looked at because again.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
I don't know what you mean.

Speaker 5 (40:33):
Again, this is putting to and you.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
Know, and that's the part the expectation of people.

Speaker 7 (40:40):
One of my coping that mechanisms is I think I
always acquiesce and my expectations I pushed to the side,
So therefore it creates it can create that dynamic, you.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (40:55):
So it's almost like I think being raised how I
was with a hyper critical who mother. I think one
of my coping mechanisms was I acquiesced all that because
when you ask me, right, if you ask me what
I want is I rarely say I want this, And
I think that's probably a bad habit that I picked

(41:16):
up over the years, you know, from a standpoint of okay,
I'm gonna So therefore there are very few things and.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
I'm like, I want this like this.

Speaker 7 (41:24):
In fact, I don't think I've ever said that to
the kids, you know, except if it's something like say
cleaning up or something like that.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
But in relationships, that's what it is. It's managing all
those things.

Speaker 6 (41:32):
So at the end of the day, to make to
make it plain for folks, because I think it gets old,
But to make it plain if you have done something
and it wasn't necessarily and I've asked you to do
something and it didn't come out exactly like I wanted
it done.

Speaker 5 (41:47):
But so what is the answer.

Speaker 7 (41:48):
What is I say it wouldn't say it. Hey, I
want to let's do it this way. I want to,
I want it this way. I wanted it this way.

Speaker 5 (41:54):
I wanted And for me, that comes off like.

Speaker 7 (41:58):
It doesn't It's okay. It's okay because that's and I'm used.
I'm used to you can do that. It's okay because
that is what it is. If you don't do it
that way, then I don't know, Like I can tell
you're not happy, but you're not expressing it.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
So that's what That's what probably triggered me.

Speaker 7 (42:12):
I was just chilling like duty too, and I saw,
wait a minute, you know what I mean, And that's
what kind of like as opposed to, oh no, this
isn't what I wanted to do.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Okay, So we just went so here's the kicker.

Speaker 5 (42:25):
So married for this next year, it'll be twenty five years.
Twenty five years, still working it out.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
And that's the thing about it.

Speaker 7 (42:31):
It is and I love the fact that you're willing
to work it out because some people after at this
point they be like, it doesn't matter, it always matters.
Just like we're going back with our daughter and she
taps out when it gets when things kind of whatever,
she'll tap out, And for me to tap out, that's
more frustrating me than anything. You'd be like, all right,
you go ahead and keep a moving. But for me,
is you know that's that there me crazy when you

(42:52):
do the tap out. Let's see what was what I say?
How do you express to someone that never listened to you?

Speaker 4 (42:57):
Yes? Well, now that's when you expressed to someone.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
That ever listens to you and always thinks that they're right.

Speaker 6 (43:03):
Yeah, And then now so but you said, Ronald, but
then you said they're always wrong.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
So okay, I think that that goes both ways.

Speaker 6 (43:12):
As far as how is somebody always wrong and you're
always right?

Speaker 5 (43:18):
I think it's I think it's a compromise.

Speaker 6 (43:19):
And I think that you know at a certain point,
like we at a certain we at a certain point
we employed the phrase let's agree to disagree, because just
sometimes you just have different you know, different sensibilities and
different things matter to you. But that you know to
say that that other person is never right or that

(43:42):
they're always wrong, which is what I'm trying to say,
the opposite, right, I'm not sure that, you know, I'm
not really sure that that's coming from a real healthy
place either.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
So with all due love and respect to you.

Speaker 7 (43:55):
So yeah, and I think, ron, I think it's almost
like it is interesting when where people would help people
choose to die on.

Speaker 4 (44:03):
You know, it's interesting what.

Speaker 7 (44:07):
Like this week when we had so we had our
daughter first, and then Allison and I have gotten too
our thing, and it is interesting what we choose to
hold on to and get really mad about or really
trying to Yes, yes, so what you're saying right exactly, Roald.
So it's almost like when especially like if it's a cycle,

(44:30):
it's kind of happened before. It's almost like at that
moment when things are starting to get hectic, you might
have to tap out and revisit, you know, when emotions
are getting involved and people, because you're right, people, at
some point nobody's really listening, or one person could be
listening and the other person is not listening. I think
once it gets to the point where somebody's not listening,

(44:51):
maybe it is better to just tap out, you know.

Speaker 6 (44:54):
And and but it makes for discourse in the house.
I think that if there is a time to say, Okay,
this is how I feel, this is how you feel,
and we look at things differently, but you know, there's
still love. I think that there's a way because for me,
I can't like I'm gonna have an attitude. I'm gonna
have an attitude because and I in that situation.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
What I chose to do, which I rarely ever do.

Speaker 6 (45:17):
Is just take myself out of the situation because at
that point I was feeling like, well, damn, I can't
really do anything right in this house, Like we got
some sensitive folks that I'm walking around on eight shells
in this house, and I need to get away from
this house for a second. So get out, really think
about what's important, what's the big picture here? And am

(45:37):
I able to come to some sort of middle ground
and compromise. So that's what I had to do in Ronald,
I hope that you can work it out.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
So relationships.

Speaker 7 (45:45):
So, speaking of relationship, Keith Lee, the food critic hit
Man d and Keith Lee been giving out money while
on the DMV to the tune of thirty thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
Let me say this, Okay, wait stop.

Speaker 6 (45:56):
Those of you who don't know, Keith Lee is a
very influential show social media person, big on TikTok and
he goes to different cities and basically as a food
critic in different cities, he'll try the food, like his
family will go and get the food. They don't know
it's him because he's getting really popular. And then he'll
do a review on TikTok and some of these it's
called the Keith Lee effect. Some of these businesses blow

(46:17):
all the way up, struggling businesses, mom and pop businesses.
So he makes a visit to the DMV and man,
it didn't really go the way we get.

Speaker 7 (46:26):
Hoped well, and you know what, Ronald had another comments.
You go to Ronald segment. Okay, and then what happened?
So Ronald said, because I picked up how walk where
they come in the room and start, Yes, Ronald, let
me tell you something I.

Speaker 5 (46:40):
Did the way they come in the room.

Speaker 7 (46:41):
You know, Look, this is something I don't know if
you want to try. I haven't tried to do with Allison.
But one time I read somewhere. I was working at
the station in Alabama and I just I read this article.
I had a coworker who every time I was on
the air, he would come in and start arguing, like
the issue we needed to talk about when we're off

(47:03):
the air. He would come in knowing I'm preoccupied and
start arguing. And I just happened when I was twenty
one years old. I happened to read an article. It said,
never argue on another person's time. So when he came
in that day, I said, he came in here, Marina,
I said, I can't talk right now.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
I'll talk to you after the show.

Speaker 7 (47:21):
And it was so powerful because the number one gave
me time to get my thoughts together. Number two let
me get you know, think about it and not be ambushed.
So if that happens, I think that's.

Speaker 6 (47:34):
Now.

Speaker 7 (47:34):
I don't talk about it right now. I'm not going
to talk about it right now. Let's talk about it
tomorrow at noon or whatever. Give it a break. Everybody
calms down, emotions aren't as evolved, and it might be
a better thing. So back to the baby was saying,
Keith Lee comes now to be honest to Keith Lee effect.
We were seeing kind of the negative kind of I
was seeing the negative kind of comments of people like, well,
who does he think he is, but I realized in

(47:58):
watching these videos you're gonna see he's given out money
and raising profiles and dukem ev Opian restaurant asked him
to come and he actually did do that.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
So this was a post he was getting it.

Speaker 7 (48:09):
Like they've said some negative conversations about the d m V,
so this is what he posted to respond to that.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
And I'm not the target audience just based on the pictures.
He's enough food in my hand. It's because a lot
of the restaurants we've been recommended since we've been here
looks like this.

Speaker 6 (48:33):
M hm.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
And I'm not the target audience just based on the pictures.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
I ain't got no point to lie. We just out
here eating food, praying, stand with our families, mindor our business.
He also went to a lot of places that were recommended.
That's one thing that I really want to make clear
this view is that we went to places that were recommended,
and we did a lot of research. We've been here
for a week, and every day since we've been here,
we've been in this sprinter for at least ten hours
a day just going around trying food, driving an hour
to each spot, and since we've been here, we've been

(49:11):
blessing up to sold thirty thousand dollars to various restaurants
around the MV. So I don't appreciate it, and I
don't think it's fair that we getting criticized for not
doing research or not going to a lot of restaurants
in DC or the DMV area. I've noticed how the
media has been pushing since we've been here. A lot
of media out let's picked up on the fact that
I said restaurants out here, in my opinion, tend to
lean towards promoting alcohol more than their promote food. That's
been headlines more than us being in the actual city

(49:34):
and being blessed enough touch the people that we touched,
granted a lot of people that was extremely Knights. We
even went to a comedy show randomly. That's another reason
why I'm keeping most of those videos to protect the
restaurant owners, because it's not gonna be constructive and it's
just gonna be them getting tore down, and I don't
want that pass those to a videos. I still got
about six or seven, and I'm gonna be releasing those
who out the next couple of days. I appreciate y'all.
God bless you have an amazing day.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
I'll be safe.

Speaker 5 (49:55):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
Well, so basically, because you know, it takes a while
to get if you're not used to his videos, takes
a second to get used to.

Speaker 5 (50:02):
The way he speaks. For me, the cadence.

Speaker 6 (50:04):
I was just trying to you know, but this is
the TikTok. This is the TikTok world. Baby, it moves right.
So one of the restaurants that he went to, people recognized,
So basically, in a nutshell, it's just getting caught up
if you're not familiar with who he is and what
he does. Came to the to the DMV going to restaurants,
and people suggested that he goes to a lot of
these places are going to be almost you saw, like

(50:25):
the carry out type places and that kind of thing.
But one of the restaurants, people could recognize which one
it was, and they actually responded. So the restaurant, because
they responded, was oohs and ohs, we have been to
the one on Georgia Avenue in Northwest DZ.

Speaker 5 (50:43):
And the food whatever.

Speaker 6 (50:45):
He criticized it without saying the name of the restaurant,
but he did criticize it, and they actually responded and
they were like, well, if you know, for a regular guest,
we would if you weren't satisfied, we would have made
it right and this and that.

Speaker 5 (50:57):
Because they also talked about the customer service experience.

Speaker 6 (51:00):
So you know, people know their restaurants and DC is,
DC is big, but it's not that big, like especially
if he's going to local joints and people gonna notice.
And so people did recognize and that was one of
the restaurants where he said that it just wasn't up
to par so.

Speaker 5 (51:17):
But it is interesting.

Speaker 6 (51:18):
Would you rather that he comes to he should he
have not said anything?

Speaker 5 (51:22):
We wouldn't have known if he went to twelve restaurants
or not. Do you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (51:25):
So he could have come to the area, profile the
food that he liked, or that he was willing to
profile that he was still going to give money to
whatever the Keith Lee effect, but instead like, should he
in your opinion, should he have said we went to
basically twelve places.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
I'm only posting like three because the rest of them. Basically,
if you don't have something nice to say, don't say
it at all.

Speaker 6 (51:46):
But it's out there that DC isn't maybe the foody
spot that we you know, Well, what do you think
about him even saying I went to these other places,
but I'm not gonna post him.

Speaker 7 (51:56):
Well, I think you got to keep it real. I think,
you know, that's the thing I think nowadays. I was
just thinking about that we are in that world. Now,
we're in that world now where traditional platforms it used
to be you went to you know.

Speaker 4 (52:08):
Whatever, it wasn't a it wasn't a thing.

Speaker 7 (52:11):
Now you as a restaurant, a critique on on on
the YouTube, Facebook, any of these platforms or by one
of these people can bring you up or bring you down,
and so you got to bring your game up.

Speaker 6 (52:24):
So should he have said that he went to twelve restaurants?
And should he have said that because the rest weren't
good enough?

Speaker 5 (52:32):
Or I think so?

Speaker 6 (52:33):
They were in one place he said was inedible, but
they didn't have running water.

Speaker 7 (52:37):
I don't know if the microphone you couldn't hear, but
didn't have running water. So it's like you can not
have running water. So yeah, okay, and here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (52:44):
One of the restaurants he so basically y' also pays
for people, so that the Jerk at Night place, which
I have heard is really good. I don't know what
part of the d MB it's in. There was a
line around the corner because he was paying for all
the food, and it's really delicious. So the places that
he liked, he put on a new liked and he
gave real Yeah.

Speaker 7 (53:01):
Well and this is this is one in Baltimore. And
I think that's why I say, if you have not
seen him or seen him do his thing, watching this
made me a believer and seeing what he does and
I understand, I understand the backlass. Nobody likes to be criticized,
but let's keep it real. Black owned restaurants. A lot
of time, black owned businesses, we don't like it. But
a lot of times we're not ready. Okay, we got
to get ready. We got to get our asses ready,

(53:23):
because if you ain't ready.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
Nowadays, it's a different world. You can't hide out anymore.

Speaker 7 (53:27):
Some of my favorite places when I work in Saint
Louis and all the cities I worked in, had the
worst customer service and took forever to get the food done.
And that's a fact. The bigger, the better the food,
the worst everything else. And that's something that's not no secret,
but we don't like it talk about it because it's
like family.

Speaker 4 (53:44):
But this is if you've never seen him do his thing.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
This was like me and my family are in Baltimore, Maryland.
I got it, let's try it it ready to want
to you. We spent one hundred and fifteen dollars and
eighty two cents. My family get a customer service at
ten out of ten, they said, not only did the
owner completely break down the menu, offered a bunch of
free samples that a house made prinks that they make,
and she was just extremely nice. So I'm excited. I'm'a
sure ed a I got and we gonna try it
right now. Through ten trouffle fries and ali Brussels sprouts,

(54:09):
tenureo tenfish, which is a tuna from Portugal. It also
comes with a bread. I have rotatuy chicken l ib
wings which are curry fennel sauce tossed wings, and a
broken down duck koffee gumbo. I say broken down in
the terms of deconstructed, because this is the rude, this
is the greens, and this is the kofee potatoes with
the duck and last my at least pineapple lemonade. We
gonna start with the half roasted chicken. You could see
it's dripping. Is it a half roasted chicken brush with

(54:32):
preserved lemon garlic and herb oil. We gonna go no
sauce first, just say it's like the butteriest lemon garlic.
I don't know what's ali this is, but this tastes fantastic.

(54:53):
Nine point two out of ten, real high.

Speaker 5 (54:56):
Alone. Mm oh yeah, nine point.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
Five, except we got the trouble fries. They are season
well and they do taste handcut, but they take out
so they didn't really hold up in the restaurant. I
can see these being extremely hoigh, so i'm'a ate 'em.
They shreat me hot as if I got these in
a restaurant. Eight point five out of ten and a
box like that, though they are like a seventh. Next,
we're gonna do the wing. This is a curry toasted
fennel wing with spicy pepper sauce over house made ranch.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
Ooh, not the crunch oh rup.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
It's spically, but the curry is robusting flavor. The curry
is very earthy. It's a little sweet too. You get
the sweetness from the peppers, but then you get the spice.
It hit my lips like my lips are dingling.

Speaker 5 (55:37):
Mm.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
This ranch is very deal for I get. It's an
eight out of ten for sure. There's some point that lemonade. Mm, boy,
this type of stuff give me in trouble.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
I don't drink.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
There's whole lemonade. Next ep it is the breastaprots. Not
everybody mess with the bat sprawls, but I do. It's simple,
astraight to the point, and so on. My seventh point
is this is a duck called feed gumbo.

Speaker 4 (56:02):
That's how I like. I like my root to be nice.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
I'm sure there's a presentation inside the restaurant.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Do that that's the.

Speaker 6 (56:17):
M uh.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
No.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Rings by themselves is a nine for the show potato,
some duck, the greens and the root. This is insane.
I love gumbo and this is such a unique take
on it. At least unique to me is that I've
never had anything like this before. The duck is cooked

(56:46):
to perfection. In my opinion, it's season extremely well. It's
not very fatty, it's not gamey. The root is seasoned
to These potatoes are crispy and season This whole thing
has flavored throughout from the beginning to the end. In
my being, they barely extremely well nine point six out
of ten overall, especially for this to be carried out
up here. I'm going on the limb. It's one of

(57:07):
my favorite restaurants. I had too, and I'm happy week.
Thank you for everybody for the bottom art. And that's
always after this, I pray very nice already already.

Speaker 5 (57:24):
We have like things awesome.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
Yeah, insane, all right, and I appreciate that those promises
crazy they reach your audience. God bless you have an

(57:51):
amazing day. I'll be safe.

Speaker 4 (57:54):
So that's the experience, and that's how it goes well.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
It's in and that place is.

Speaker 6 (58:00):
Called Rooted Rotisserie, Black owned restaurant in Southwest Baltimore. So
good luck getting a table now.

Speaker 5 (58:09):
Yeah. When it goes well, it goes well for me.
I just yeah, I mean, you're absolutely right. You gotta
be ready.

Speaker 6 (58:16):
I hate the fact though, that DC is that's gonna
be the experience.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
Now, well has not bad. He got six out of twelve.
That's not bad.

Speaker 5 (58:26):
Yeah, thank you for visiting.

Speaker 4 (58:29):
Yeah, and I think it is.

Speaker 7 (58:30):
It's definitely a phenomenon and everybody everybody's doing.

Speaker 6 (58:33):
It now, so the term that we grew up with
everybody's a critic, everybody is a critic, everybody's cret Now
everybody's a credit.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
And now you know, and.

Speaker 5 (58:43):
Who's carved a niche for himself.

Speaker 6 (58:45):
I think it's we're definitely in a different space and
you know, I like it, and he has definitely has
he's open to all kinds of different food because for me,
like I wouldn't be able to tell you if the
duck was good or not because I've never had duck.

Speaker 7 (58:58):
I think that's also kind of figuring it out, like
maybe if you're you know, if you're just doing simple
wings or if you're doing simple whatever, whatever you're doing.
And I think it is a great reminder for all
business and for our lives.

Speaker 4 (59:14):
Right at the end of the day, you can't just be.

Speaker 7 (59:20):
Average mediocre and then expect people to praise you.

Speaker 8 (59:25):
You got to bring it.

Speaker 6 (59:26):
It reminds me of thank you, Ronald for I want
to thank you Ronald, like, uh, for being so engaged
today because if you're joining us late, we don't have
our typical audience because we're having some issues with Facebook.
So yeah, I feel like we're having a nice conversation
with the folks who are on here today, and we
really do appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (59:43):
And what you said is right, and I think it is.

Speaker 6 (59:45):
You know, it's hard for me to admit because I'm
so very pro black. Yeah, but I'm so very pro
black that it's hard to say that. Yeah, you know,
there's no excuse for some of the things that go
on and are HBCUs in this day. There's no excuse
for the restaurant and all of the conference.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
Please.

Speaker 5 (01:00:06):
Yeah, it's hard for me. You know why it's hard
for me.

Speaker 6 (01:00:11):
And I'm not making excuses, but I know too much
about history to.

Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
Just be like, Okay, it ain't up the bar when
we've created such a big space.

Speaker 6 (01:00:21):
I don't know when we've created such a big space
for ourselves in spite of it all, do you know
what I'm saying. So that's I come from that historic
perspective on that. And so I feel like, and I've
said it before, when.

Speaker 5 (01:00:38):
You know, when you.

Speaker 6 (01:00:38):
Got Harvard the oldest university in the country and started
in the sixteen hundreds, and then is it Chainey or rulerforce?
I always get a confused started like two hundred years later?
So you're playing catchup. I'm not really going to be like,
well it should be this way because of what it is,
because it's.

Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
Still playing ketchup.

Speaker 6 (01:00:57):
But I get it, Ronald, and I understand that if
you spend your money, it should be a different experience.

Speaker 4 (01:01:03):
So and all we have to do is when you
talk my restaurants.

Speaker 7 (01:01:05):
And one thing that's why, that's when I say I
love about you is you know what you want. Knowing
what you want, that what big mama, and then that generation.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
That chickens gonna be fried right every time.

Speaker 6 (01:01:17):
Yeah, but you might, but you might not get the
mode like you know, you might have to settle for
a Now what you what you want?

Speaker 5 (01:01:24):
Baby? Now? What do you want?

Speaker 6 (01:01:26):
And we found like love in that because we get it.
You know that you're just you're trying to stay afloat
sometimes and I think about, like, you know, just that
whole experience. But yeah, being kind costs nothing and a
lot of the things that he's talking about is not
good customer service.

Speaker 5 (01:01:44):
And all that. And in this day and age, you
can be.

Speaker 7 (01:01:47):
Put on blasts and because and this competition too, Now,
these competition is different to everybody frying chicken.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
Now, So what you're gonna do now, which was.

Speaker 5 (01:01:54):
I'm gonna tell you this. I'm I'm gonna close this
conversation out with this.

Speaker 6 (01:01:56):
There used to be a Trinidad bean food spot on
that I used to go to all the time in
Northwest Senior Howard University, and that food was busting, busting'
if you know where that is, Oh my god, it's delicious.
Would go there from my rotees all the time, right,
and plantain and all that good stuff. But when you
went like you you were, it was going to be

(01:02:19):
in the line, you know, and the accents was thick,
but it didn't matter. You know what you want and
you just I want. It's like going to all days
and trying to check out when they're doing the thing.

Speaker 5 (01:02:31):
I want caverage and corn and checking.

Speaker 6 (01:02:35):
You know that's what we don't have that or whatever
it is, right, And so yes, it's stressful, but when
I leave, I'm just gonna it's a part of what
it is and that's how it is. And it's just
like shopping at all days, which I will do, so yeah,
what's what you do.

Speaker 5 (01:02:51):
But I will say this, this is the last thing
because this restaurant.

Speaker 6 (01:02:54):
Is not opening anymore. And I miss you very much.
Rita's restaurant is. I went in one time with one
of my photographers. We were on break and I had
prepped my photographer, Okay, this food is worth it.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
It's delicious. Now they're gonna be rude and you're.

Speaker 6 (01:03:09):
Gonna have to order fast, and they're gonna be people
behind you, and then you're gonna get this yeah yeah,
you know, and it's calling in the back, you.

Speaker 5 (01:03:16):
Know, yeah no, and you're just like, they're talking about me.

Speaker 6 (01:03:20):
When I went in with my man, love him, Carlos
Gonzales from my man from Cuba and if you think
of the most chilled out, laid back, smooth talking, give
you that smile, you know, schmoozer, flip it in Spanish
and the girls.

Speaker 5 (01:03:39):
Go, that's Carlos. We went in.

Speaker 6 (01:03:42):
They were so nice to him and he said, now
explain what this is and they were like okay, and
I was just like what. So it's a bit subjective,
but yeah, the food was good, but you just knew
what to expect, so yeah, it's all different. Thank you
Keith Lee for coming to the DMV and as part
of the media. I hope that you didn't think that
we were a negative. We were so excited for him

(01:04:04):
