Speaker 1 (05:26):
Two snaps in the air. Alight. On that note, we
have a very special interview that we're going to get
to right now. We have a very special guest on
the show today. She is with a great organization called
(05:48):
Anchor of Hope and Marie Potemski, Welcome to the show.
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I am well, thank you for the opportunity to be
with you today.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Absolutely, so let's start from the top. Telled everybody a
little bit about what the organization is and what you
all do.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Just to give a little bit of background. Anchor of
Hope was born not only from my professional experience and
really my passion to serve, but it also came from
my life experience as a child of immigrant parents. I
lived through the struggles growing up with parents that had
very little English speaking skills, so those language barriers, facing
(06:33):
low income where you know, families like our family was
barely surviving for many years and enduring some of the
mocking for the clothes that we wore because our dear
mother sewed these clothes for us, and so there were
difficult days. Yet it really shaped my understanding and empathy
(06:54):
for the families that are starting over and that we
are serving. So I know first hand that with hope
and support you can overcome and truly thrive. And so
the individuals that have really lost everything, families that have
been uprooted by war, violence, disaster, or personal crisis, we've
(07:18):
provided and are helping them provide a fresh start, you know,
with and through hope and for a thriving future.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So talk a little bit about how long the organization
has been around, and and you know, talk a little
bit more about like kind of some of the things
that you've done and like the families that you're helping
right now. Sure.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So in so, Anchor of Hope was founded two and
a half years ago and we are now on our
one hundredth and thirteenth families, So we have served one
hundred and twelve families over five hundred and fifty individuals
from legal refugee families from Ukraine, Venezuela, Congo, Afghanistan, and
(08:07):
others to mothers and children who have been escaping domestic violence,
widows and families that have been devastated by fire, addiction,
and loss. So these are really individuals that are, you know,
going through very personal, difficult crisis situations, and our commitment
is to help every person, really helping them move from
(08:30):
that surviving to thriving with dignity and opportunity.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And so.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I heard like some of the some of the legal
refugees that you all are helping, and obviously some came from,
you know, a war torn country. Talk a little bit
about what that experience has been like, you know, helping
people who are coming from a war torn country, what
are they dealing with, how are they adjusting? Well, talk
(09:03):
a little bit about their experiences.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
There's one well, I'll share one example that I mentioned
also a few weeks back, and that is really how
Anchor of Hope has really been helping the family. So
I'll just even start with the first family that we served,
because it was such a humbling experience. So these families
(09:28):
that had homes and automobiles and clothing and everything that
they've worked for their whole lives, and within sometimes minutes, hours, days,
everything has been destroyed and taken from them. And there
is no war insurance, so it's not like they have
an opportunity to rebuild anytime soon. So one of the
(09:50):
first Ukrainian families that we helped, they were truly expecting
to walk into an empty apartment. There was the father, mother, Irina,
and their two children, nine year old Marretta and their
seven year old son, Bladessuas. And so they came to
the United States with one suitcase, expecting to walk into
(10:12):
an empty apartment. And within a few weeks, with all
of the individuals that I knew reaching out to them,
literally in two weeks, and with one of those weeks
where I was also traveling and working, we were able
to fully furnish the apartment for this family. And so
when this family walked into the apartment, it was again
(10:36):
stocked with everything from a kitchen table with dinner on
the table, a family room that had a couch and
chairs and everything that was in their television kitchen with housewares, food,
everything on the counter, as far as all the appliances,
their bedrooms that had beds and linens and clothing and
(10:59):
shoes in the clock, and their bathroom that was stopped
with personal care items. It was just amazing because this
family could truly walk into their apartment and be able
to sleep as restfully as they could and be able
to have food for a few weeks. And so when
this family walked in, they actually thought they walked into
(11:19):
someone else's apartment. It started to walk out because we
actually even had our dog with us. So when I
recognized it and I called his name and said, no,
you know, Sasha, and you know I told him, you know, Vikama,
you know we're welcoming you to your home, very very humbling.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
As this man, this grown man, is you know, on his.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Knees crying, very overwhelmed with emotion because he, as he
shared with us, was expecting to walk into an empty apartment.
Yet he had a brand new start with everything that
he needed to be able to again have an opportunity
to begin arriving instead of starting in a survival mode.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
So what was that experience, like for you to be
a part of that and to witness that, to see
that kind of response, it.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Was very very emotional experience. My husband and one of
my very dear friends, Melody, was with me as well.
And by the way, we also had my family from
Poland where my husband had a video com chat also
going and the families that were there serving and supporting
(12:36):
this family for a year in Poland that were on
this so they also had the opportunity to experience this.
So it was truly a beautiful moment where again you know,
allowing this family to walk into this apartment where they
felt such joy, such again very very emotional, but also
(13:00):
very very fulfilling. And really this is the springboard that
gave It gave me the opportunity to say, like, this
is really the time and the place that I really
need to move forward with starting my nonprofit because it
had been on my heart for years to start the nonprofit.
(13:21):
And then this really was the inspiration. When I saw
just thousands of answered prayers and miracles that transformed over
a short period of time, I really knew it was
the time to be able to do that. And this
family's gratitude that was just overflow helping with gratitude. It
(13:43):
just affirmed that the time was now to begin and
continuing to serve these families.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
That were in need.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And I know you mentioned earlier that not only are
you helping legal refugees, but also people who have suffered
through disasters and things like that. Talk a little bit
about that, Talk a little bit about some of the
things that you've seen on that side and some of
the people that you've helped with that as well.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Sure, so I have through connections. As I've been reaching
out to local churches and schools and organizations, more and
more case managers, case workers are getting my name and reaching.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Out to me.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
So one of the local schools in Madina County, one
of the families did not have insurance, lost everything to
a house fire, and again we're devastated. I had this
connection through Hope Church and some of the ministries that
I participated in in the middle school, and we were
(14:52):
again able to help this family with furniture, clothing for
all of the children. And so again when they thought
that they've lost everything, had no hope, no opportunity to
start fresh in an apartment while they were looking for home.
Another home. It just gave them again peace of mind,
being able to start. Also have been working with some
(15:16):
organizations that are serving individuals that have struggled with addiction,
alcohol and drug addiction, and so these individuals who also
in a different way, have been going through crisis situations,
have lost everything many times, you know, family, friends, even
(15:36):
their dignity, and they are starting new. As a matter
of fact, today at our warehouse, we had two of
those individuals that we were able to serve and they
were so grateful, just thanking us for saying that we
had just such an amazing shopping experience. They felt the
love that we were pouring over them with the volunteers
(15:59):
giving them a safe place to shop, giving them furniture,
giving them carpet, giving them housewaares. So they walked away
with car loads full of items clothing because they had
no clothing you know, to start with. And so this
one particular individual just left the facility and again was
(16:20):
walking into an apartment with nothing. So it was once
again such an amazing experience to serve these individuals that
now have a new lease on life, have new hope,
and also are getting just some of the basic resources
to help them and providing them with the love, support
and hope that they desperately are desiring.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You know, you're really the work that you're doing, You're
really meeting people at times of crisis. That sounds like
that's been kind of like the common theme to me
as we discuss today, talk a little bit about like
how long has this been a passion for you? When
did you see the need just walk me through that process?
(17:09):
How you got to that point?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Sure, so, I have for the last thirty five years,
in one form or fashion, have really had a heart
to serve individuals and families. So when I was at
Xerox for almost twenty eight years as the Xerox Community
(17:33):
Involvement Coordinator, was very involved with a lot of organizations,
whether it was Special Olympics, whether it was Oaks Family
Care Center which is a pregnancy crisis center, Haven of
Ross Ministries which is a women and children's shelter, and
Akron many many other organizations. Is that I had the
opportunity to meet various leaders there, even meet individuals and
(17:57):
families that were being served. So my heart has always
been to serve and support individuals and families. Yet, when
the war broke out in Ukraine, and my family in
Poland reached out to my husband and I and shared
that there's this family that they've been helping and that
(18:18):
they'll be coming to America. Could we help them? And
without hesitation, I said yes. I didn't know how, I
didn't know where they would live, what we would do,
and so that was just something that I wanted to
help in any way we could. And my husband also
raised his hand to serve and support the family. And
(18:39):
then a few months later when we got the notification
that by the way, they're coming, they'll be there in
two weeks. That's the story that I just shared with
you with Sasha, Irana and their children. And then that's
what really fueled this desire to really move forward in
just a fast and furious way.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And as we begin to wind down here, you know
you this was something that was laid on your heart,
something you were passionate about, and you just took the
initiative and just got right in there. For people who
may have a similar passion or want to have a
desire to serve, what advice would you give them, knowing
(19:25):
what you know now in the journey that you've had
so far.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
So I would say that if individuals have a desire
to serve and support families or are interested in even
serving supporting families with and through Anchor of Hope, I
would say just say, yes, there the needs are so great,
and I will be the first to say I don't
(19:50):
have all the answers I learn, you know, through trial
and error, yet there has always you know, God has
provided away and there has been just there have been
so many prayers that have been answered. So if individuals
have that desire to serve and support, there are so
many organizations to include Anchor of Hope, that need volunteers,
(20:13):
that need those helping hands, because many hands make light work,
and there's just an opportunity to serve in a mighty
mighty way. So if individuals have this desire to serve
individuals and families that are going through crisis situations, we
are happy to hear from them to get support. But again,
(20:33):
other passions and desires, whether it's serving animals or serving veterans,
many great organizations and all of them, all of them
need help. And so just I would say, don't hesitate,
you reach out and just begin to serve, because when
you serve, you will be mightily blessed.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Let everybody know if they want to get more information
about Anchor of Hope, they want to sign up to serve,

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yea, So it's been a littlemited, it's been a little minuted,
but I got some tea for you guys. All right,
So we're gonna start off with our girl, Cardi B.
So Cardi B's actually been dealing with some court things
going on. So she had a lawsuit against her excuse me,
a civil assault lawsuit. She's been dealing with this for
(24:32):
a while now, where her it was a security guard
that accused her of an assault that happened back in
allegedly happened back in twenty eighteen. She was accusing her
of putting her or scratched her face, is what she said.
And at the time, Cardi B was pregnant by the way,
(24:54):
and so they were asking Cardi B like was she
incapable and U like, you know, of doing things you know,
and she's like, well, uh, dull, I was pregnant, so yeah,
like of course, I'm like, you know, I'm out of
commission for a lot of things. And then they asked
her if she put her hands on her and called
(25:17):
her the Can I say it? Are you?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Uh well, I don't know what she said, so just
say it and if not, I'll bleep it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
She gotcha, So she called she she They asked her,
They said, did you put your hands on her and
call her a sled? And she said no. I called
her the B word, she said. I called her the beep,
and I like, dang, she like has no filter and
(25:50):
it's truly just so genuine, like that's just her, like
you know what I mean, Like, and she had the
whole entire jury cracking up through every court session, like
they were all cracking up because she's just like naturally funny.
I mean, like she's truly like one of God's favorites.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
She's let's let's get it right. I did not call
her a slut.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, she was like now listen, she was like, I've
been in some things in the past. She's like, I
got history. I know, I know, she said, but this
time I'm innocent.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Man. I didn't follow the trial that much, but I saw,
like I saw some of the clips and I saw
the memes and stuff was crazy. It was crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Her facial expressions was hilarious. Then, uh, one of the
prosecutor he had asked her, He was like, is that
your real hair? Which one is your real hair? Because
one day she went there with a blond wig, the
next day she went there with a black hair wig,
and he goes, he asked her that, and she goes
(27:02):
and makes this face and she was like, they are wigs.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
You know what I want to do one day, like
now that I'm thinking about it, as we're having this conversation,
and I know he probably hasn't know anything about this,
so I would love to ask him and get his opinion.
I want to get the prosecutor. The county prosecutor on
back on the show shot out County prosecutor Michael Maalley,
who's been on this show before, and I want to
(27:30):
ask him, like, I want you to read those like
the stuff that the prosecutors were trying to say to
her in that trial, because.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I want to know like what what like what was
the point?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
What was the strategy? What were they trying to do?
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Like, right, what does her hair have to do with
asking her if she scratched that woman in her face?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
The only thing that I could think of, and I
saw some comments on social media to this extent, and
this is probably true. The only thing that I could
think of is that they were trying to rattle her
or get her angry and upset, because the allegation was
that she beat this girl up or scratched this girl
or whatever. So that's the only thing that makes sense
(28:12):
to me is that, and that they were trying to
raw her up.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
But she's goofy and all she was doing was cracking
jokes and making them look goofy.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Right, No, they absolutely look goofy. Was there an outcome
to the case.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
She did win. She did win, so she was found
not liable in the civil trial where she was accused
of that assault with the security guard E Manny Ellis.
If I'm saying that correctly, that happened. Let's see. In
the twenty eighteen confrontation in the Beverly Hills Medical Building,
(28:47):
the plaintiff claimed that Cardi B scratched the lady's face
during an argument, alleging that Ellis was filming her while
she was secretly pregnant. Cardi B's defense argue that Ellis
was the aggressor violating Cardi B's privacy by attempting to
record her. The jury, then, consisting of six men and
(29:09):
six women, deliberated for less than an hour and they
ruled out that. They ruled in that Cardi B. It's
in Cardi B's favor. Cardi BI did that obviously. She
denied the allegations, and she warned, she said if anybody
does try to come at her again for any false lawsuits,
(29:31):
that she was going to counter sue if they tried
to suit.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Her as you should. Yeah, as you should. That'll that'll
nip some of these frivolous lawsuits in the bud real quick. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
And you know what with this and with the lady
that accused her of this, you know her going through
all this, you know what she had. You know, as
a mother, I would have been pissed off. She missed
her child's first day of school, Oh wow, because of this,
because she had to be in court.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Mm hmmmm mmmmm.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That's but you know, man, it's man, it's a lot
of greed going on. Man, everybody trying to get a
quick buck, everybody trying to you know, make get something
for nothing. You know, it's it's unfortunate. It's really unfortunate. Yeah, yeah, like,
and you know, people, you just gotta be careful. You
(30:19):
just got to protect yourself, man, because there is uh
what did Crazy Bones say? Crazy Bones said this in
an interview that there's always somebody that wants what you
have but doesn't want to work for it. Mm hm,
you know what I mean. So, yeah, you know it's unfortunate,
but gotta be careful.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Next ah, so next, So we are going to go
with Little knas X. Yeah, there are people that's you
know that they're using the you know how, everybody has
their their weird theories. People are saying some off the
wall things. But allegedly Little Na's ex was on some
(31:05):
type of pills at a party that he was at.
Uh so he was caught running down the street in
his tidy whities, high as a kite, and the people who.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Don't know, for people that don't know, that means he
was running in his rolls.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
They were definitely tidy whities, not boxers, not briefs. They
were he was in the being and his cowboy boots
and his cowboy boots. They said that he was going
back to his way. He what's that old town road?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Old road? Yeah, cowboy boots in the in the baby drolls,
so he.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Uh was he was looking. So he was charged with
four felonies, including battery of police of the police officer
after roaming they say, quote unquote naked, but he was
in his draws. He ended up getting out. He did
reassure the fans, you know, and this is what he said.
He said, your girl is going to be okay, while
(32:10):
admitting the past four days have been terrifying being locked
up in jail. And I'm like, I mean, I bet
it was. I bet it was. That's why I'm watching
my tone and watching my behavior, you know, right.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, we were talking during the break where it was like,
you know, it was awesome that the show was on
the news and it didn't involve you going.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
To jail, hey, because you know y'all y'all had y'all
didn't have y'all no faith in me. Okay. I thought
I was going to end up on the news for
being beating somebody up.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yes, because you always get into confrontations at airports.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Hey, that last run gave me a run for my money, Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
So I am not surprised because when you dance with
the devil, eventually he's going to burn you. This is
the same guy who had the Satan shoes, remember that, Yeah,
where he had tennis shoes, custom tennis shoes with blood
(33:24):
in him.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, a drop of human blood.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
There were people that were saying that they think that
that was something where he had to make a sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Well, I don't know. I don't know about all that.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
That's what the comments were saying on social media. I'm
just saying, you're saying what the you know, social media
people were saying, right, So.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
I don't know about all that. But what I do
know is when you dance with the dark like that,
bad things happen. There's no one, who ever, who ever
wins in that arrangement. Right, Lil nas X has done
some really dark things. He's come a long way, and
(34:09):
I'm not saying that in a good way. He's come
a long way from Old Town Road.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Even Old Town Road was not I mean, the song was,
it was catchy, but even then, even then it was
not very good.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah, when you started listening to the lyrics. As a
matter of fact, I think we might have did this
on the show. I think you would have. I think
you would the one who broke the lyrics down.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Yeah yeah, talking about old Town road and drinking all
doing all kinds of things. And he was going to
elementaries and stuff performing like what nobody listening, No, it
was it was wild.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
So that's, you know, to me, I'm not surprised. It's unfortunate.
I don't. I don't wish that on nobody. But obviously
he has an issue. He has a problem. I I
hope he gets help. It has been abundantly clear that
(35:06):
he needs Jesus, so I hope he gets I hope
he gets that first and foremost. But it's just it's unfortunate, man,
because it's not like the guy isn't talented, right, like
he's he has talent, but he been on some trash
(35:29):
from the moment that he got in the door, and
eventually that stuff is gonna catch up to you. I
don't I don't even want to know what drug he
was on that made him so high that he thought
it was good to, you know, stand in the middle
of the street and some cowboy boots and his drawers.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
He was walking down the street, and that he was
walking down and somebody recorded it off their cell phone,
and I don't know is.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That the Old Town Road. Good.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Now they would have started singing it to him or
playing that music.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
That's literally, yeah, that's literally what I just. That's literally
what I was just doing, the old town road. He
was on that old town road. All right. Man, boy,
oh boy, drugs are bad kids. Stay away from drugs.
Stay away from the devil too. He's not your friend.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Next, all right, So next, I'm actually kind of like, okay,
so this topic right here is something that I can
really get on. This is something that you know, y'all
know that I tend to get into. Okay, I always
got an opinion always, Okay, my mama said, ever since
(36:45):
I started speaking, I had an opinion. So I'm gonna
get all right, So young thug was talking crap. He
was talking to his girl on the phone, and the audio,
you know, it got leaked. All right. Well, y'all know
how when a man is in a relationship or whatever,
(37:06):
and you know, they woman gets to asking or they
communicate about another woman and the dude starts bashing said
woman that they're speaking about. So let me tell you
he was talking about. He was calling Glowrilla ugly. He said,
I don't know. He was like all these dudes out here,
they are probably hitting it. I don't even know why
(37:30):
she ugly, She looked like a man, she's skinny, blah
blah blah bashing her and she said, mind you just
the same dude blowing my phone up to ask what
color my eyes is? Do I need to say anymore?
Usually when a man says some stuff about another woman
(37:52):
to his woman some bad stuff, chances are he's either
a messing with said woman low key, or B he
liked that woman, he's attracted to her. Listen, I'm just
the messenger. Okay, I'm just the messenger people. That's all.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
So I will say, young thug did apologize. I don't
know if you saw that. Yeah, he did apologize. Look
at you, you like um.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Apologize Because she caught that he apologized. Has he got.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
So? Yeah, so he did apologize. I'm looking for the
actual apology right now, he said, uh, And he did
it on X he said, act glow the official. First
of all, I'm sorry to you for my words, and
I honestly don't think you're ugly at all. I was
speaking from jail, just having a hard time with life.
I don't like bashing girls and hardly ever did I'm
(38:51):
sorry to you, twin, Like I.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Said, bye, bye, ol boy, go somewhere somewhere. You ain't sorry.
That's just jail talk. Yeah you you know she got
no she don't want you.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
So I will say this. I always think it's weird
when people bash people to try to impress other people, right, Like,
I always think that that's weird and kind of corny,
you know what I mean, Like like the guy who's
trying to holler at a girl and they know somebody
(39:34):
in common, and so that guy feels like he needs
to boost himself up by trashing the other guy. Like
that's whack it is. That's so corny, and any woman
who falls for that is corny too.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Oh, you don't even know how often I've witnessed that is.
It is clown behavior.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Okay, it is incredibly whack man And that is incredibly whack.
So same thing here. I don't know where that came from.
I don't know why he decided to comfort Gorilla like that,
but I don't I don't understand that.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
But because they was probably having a random conversation with
him and his girl, and you know, just random conversation,
and she could have been like, oh this so and
so glow she pretty she done glowed up, or you know,
it could have been something you know what I mean,
like yeah, in that sense, and he was probably like, oh,
blah blah blah, I don't think so et cetera, et cetera.
(40:34):
You know what I mean, Like that could be the case.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
But how did this How did this get out? Did
somebody release the.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Oh yeah, you know, I got lead, you know got lead.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
You know, this is the issue with like George's had
quite a bit of problems when it comes to like
their criminal justice system down there, like stuff getting leaked
and cases being lost and case that they shouldn't have had, Like.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Come on, now, it's the it's the CEOs that be Listen.
There's some dirty CEOs. Darvy o, yes, dirty CEOs.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
I'm like, what the hell is going on in Georgia?
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Man, man, listen, he like, I'm telling you, I'm telling you.
That's like see somebody else said that anytime you hear
a man bad talk or woman, nine times out of
ten he hollered at her and she curved him. Or
or it might not even be that they could have
had something in the past, or something could have you
(41:41):
know what.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I mean, It's just I don't know, man, I don't know.
It was just I don't know, and I think like
and I ain't trying to be funny, but Doug has
been involved with the law enough to know that those
calls are not private, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Like some of them be they don't.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
It's like they're intelligent, but like a lot of them
are very intelligent, but they at the same point, they
don't use their smarts, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
I was about to I was about to ask, because
I don't think I might have gotten had to receive
a call or two from from a friend or something
that has some issues of something. But I was going
to ask you, so, Robin, you know criminals, Oh is
(42:37):
this they would do? Like they do know they're being
recorded right, yes, yes, it'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Actually, it tells you immediately this call is being recorded.
It'll want to tell you.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
So, like, yo, man, you gotta you gotta be aware
of that. Man. But I'm glad he apologized. I'm glad
he apologizes. I know you poo it, but I'm glad
that's his apology.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
You already did it, you dumb bashed her.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
I can't see.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
I can't see a man trying to bash me and
saying this and that about me. I don't even think
you really ugly boy, Stay it, save it because you
done said it. It's already done. The deed is done.
You already, you already said it. Yeah, yeah, you said
what you said, like, don't try to be fake in
my face. That's fake. You fake, and now I can't

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Oh yes, yes, yes I did. I did.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Once again, this happens to us quite a bit. One
of our interviews is really gone viral, particularly here in
the City of Cleveland our last episode, and Joe Jones
has been covered in Signal Cleveland numerous times, was in
(03:07):
Cleveland dot com slash playing Bueler a couple of times,
and as well. It was on we WS Channel five,
which for people outside of Cleveland is the ABC affiliate
here in Cleveland. So yeah, it's been a it's been
(03:27):
an eventful a couple of weeks on a couple of
weeks on break for us.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Hey like like the young kids say clock that, see Clockett.
I think, don't talk for me for saying that though,
but clock it, okay, yes, because I mean once listen
one other when other news, when other media outlets start
mentioning your show, you know you that one?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You know you don't.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I'm just saying that. I'm just saying that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
My my uncle saw it, was watching the news when
it came on, and I told my mother. He was like,
he was like is that and then and then he
went to google it and saw that it was us.
And I talked to a cousin of mine too today
(04:19):
who also was watching that channel and also try to
take a picture of it before it went off. So yeah,
so yeah, it's been it's been very It's been a
very interesting couple of weeks, you know, but this has
(04:41):
happened to us before, so you.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Know that man, they put the face and said the
name multiple times, show five times.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Speaking of which, real quick, did did you tell your
mother about that?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
My brother?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
No? Your mother?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh, I told my mama. My brother, I said this. Everybody,
everybody immediately what they say? What my brother said? Look,
my brother, he told me. I told you you a start.
I told you. Don't nobody ever dim your shine? I
told her. I said yes, he said yes.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Two snaps in the air. Alight. On that note, we
have a very special interview that we're going to get
to right now. We have a very special guest on
the show today. She is with a great organization called
(05:48):
Anchor of Hope and Marie Potemski, Welcome to the show.
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I am well, thank you for the opportunity to be
with you today.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Absolutely, so let's start from the top. Telled everybody a
little bit about what the organization is and what you
all do.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Just to give a little bit of background. Anchor of
Hope was born not only from my professional experience and
really my passion to serve, but it also came from
my life experience as a child of immigrant parents. I
lived through the struggles growing up with parents that had
very little English speaking skills, so those language barriers, facing
(06:33):
low income where you know, families like our family was
barely surviving for many years and enduring some of the
mocking for the clothes that we wore because our dear
mother sewed these clothes for us, and so there were
difficult days. Yet it really shaped my understanding and empathy
(06:54):
for the families that are starting over and that we
are serving. So I know first hand that with hope
and support you can overcome and truly thrive. And so
the individuals that have really lost everything, families that have
been uprooted by war, violence, disaster, or personal crisis, we've
(07:18):
provided and are helping them provide a fresh start, you know,
with and through hope and for a thriving future.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So talk a little bit about how long the organization
has been around, and and you know, talk a little
bit more about like kind of some of the things
that you've done and like the families that you're helping
right now. Sure.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So in so, Anchor of Hope was founded two and
a half years ago and we are now on our
one hundredth and thirteenth families, So we have served one
hundred and twelve families over five hundred and fifty individuals
from legal refugee families from Ukraine, Venezuela, Congo, Afghanistan, and
(08:07):
others to mothers and children who have been escaping domestic violence,
widows and families that have been devastated by fire, addiction,
and loss. So these are really individuals that are, you know,
going through very personal, difficult crisis situations, and our commitment
is to help every person, really helping them move from
(08:30):
that surviving to thriving with dignity and opportunity.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And so.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I heard like some of the some of the legal
refugees that you all are helping, and obviously some came from,
you know, a war torn country. Talk a little bit
about what that experience has been like, you know, helping
people who are coming from a war torn country, what
are they dealing with, how are they adjusting? Well, talk
(09:03):
a little bit about their experiences.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
There's one well, I'll share one example that I mentioned
also a few weeks back, and that is really how
Anchor of Hope has really been helping the family. So
I'll just even start with the first family that we served,
because it was such a humbling experience. So these families
(09:28):
that had homes and automobiles and clothing and everything that
they've worked for their whole lives, and within sometimes minutes, hours, days,
everything has been destroyed and taken from them. And there
is no war insurance, so it's not like they have
an opportunity to rebuild anytime soon. So one of the
(09:50):
first Ukrainian families that we helped, they were truly expecting
to walk into an empty apartment. There was the father, mother, Irina,
and their two children, nine year old Marretta and their
seven year old son, Bladessuas. And so they came to
the United States with one suitcase, expecting to walk into
(10:12):
an empty apartment. And within a few weeks, with all
of the individuals that I knew reaching out to them,
literally in two weeks, and with one of those weeks
where I was also traveling and working, we were able
to fully furnish the apartment for this family. And so
when this family walked into the apartment, it was again
(10:36):
stocked with everything from a kitchen table with dinner on
the table, a family room that had a couch and
chairs and everything that was in their television kitchen with housewares, food,
everything on the counter, as far as all the appliances,
their bedrooms that had beds and linens and clothing and
(10:59):
shoes in the clock, and their bathroom that was stopped
with personal care items. It was just amazing because this
family could truly walk into their apartment and be able
to sleep as restfully as they could and be able
to have food for a few weeks. And so when
this family walked in, they actually thought they walked into
(11:19):
someone else's apartment. It started to walk out because we
actually even had our dog with us. So when I
recognized it and I called his name and said, no,
you know, Sasha, and you know I told him, you know, Vikama,
you know we're welcoming you to your home, very very humbling.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
As this man, this grown man, is you know, on his.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Knees crying, very overwhelmed with emotion because he, as he
shared with us, was expecting to walk into an empty apartment.
Yet he had a brand new start with everything that
he needed to be able to again have an opportunity
to begin arriving instead of starting in a survival mode.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
So what was that experience, like for you to be
a part of that and to witness that, to see
that kind of response, it.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Was very very emotional experience. My husband and one of
my very dear friends, Melody, was with me as well.
And by the way, we also had my family from
Poland where my husband had a video com chat also
going and the families that were there serving and supporting
(12:36):
this family for a year in Poland that were on
this so they also had the opportunity to experience this.
So it was truly a beautiful moment where again you know,
allowing this family to walk into this apartment where they
felt such joy, such again very very emotional, but also
(13:00):
very very fulfilling. And really this is the springboard that
gave It gave me the opportunity to say, like, this
is really the time and the place that I really
need to move forward with starting my nonprofit because it
had been on my heart for years to start the nonprofit.
(13:21):
And then this really was the inspiration. When I saw
just thousands of answered prayers and miracles that transformed over
a short period of time, I really knew it was
the time to be able to do that. And this
family's gratitude that was just overflow helping with gratitude. It
(13:43):
just affirmed that the time was now to begin and
continuing to serve these families.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
That were in need.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And I know you mentioned earlier that not only are
you helping legal refugees, but also people who have suffered
through disasters and things like that. Talk a little bit
about that, Talk a little bit about some of the
things that you've seen on that side and some of
the people that you've helped with that as well.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Sure, so I have through connections. As I've been reaching
out to local churches and schools and organizations, more and
more case managers, case workers are getting my name and reaching.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Out to me.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
So one of the local schools in Madina County, one
of the families did not have insurance, lost everything to
a house fire, and again we're devastated. I had this
connection through Hope Church and some of the ministries that
I participated in in the middle school, and we were
(14:52):
again able to help this family with furniture, clothing for
all of the children. And so again when they thought
that they've lost everything, had no hope, no opportunity to
start fresh in an apartment while they were looking for home.
Another home. It just gave them again peace of mind,
being able to start. Also have been working with some
(15:16):
organizations that are serving individuals that have struggled with addiction,
alcohol and drug addiction, and so these individuals who also
in a different way, have been going through crisis situations,
have lost everything many times, you know, family, friends, even
(15:36):
their dignity, and they are starting new. As a matter
of fact, today at our warehouse, we had two of
those individuals that we were able to serve and they
were so grateful, just thanking us for saying that we
had just such an amazing shopping experience. They felt the
love that we were pouring over them with the volunteers
(15:59):
giving them a safe place to shop, giving them furniture,
giving them carpet, giving them housewaares. So they walked away
with car loads full of items clothing because they had
no clothing you know, to start with. And so this
one particular individual just left the facility and again was
(16:20):
walking into an apartment with nothing. So it was once
again such an amazing experience to serve these individuals that
now have a new lease on life, have new hope,
and also are getting just some of the basic resources
to help them and providing them with the love, support
and hope that they desperately are desiring.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You know, you're really the work that you're doing, You're
really meeting people at times of crisis. That sounds like
that's been kind of like the common theme to me
as we discuss today, talk a little bit about like
how long has this been a passion for you? When
did you see the need just walk me through that process?
(17:09):
How you got to that point?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Sure, so, I have for the last thirty five years,
in one form or fashion, have really had a heart
to serve individuals and families. So when I was at
Xerox for almost twenty eight years as the Xerox Community
(17:33):
Involvement Coordinator, was very involved with a lot of organizations,
whether it was Special Olympics, whether it was Oaks Family
Care Center which is a pregnancy crisis center, Haven of
Ross Ministries which is a women and children's shelter, and
Akron many many other organizations. Is that I had the
opportunity to meet various leaders there, even meet individuals and
(17:57):
families that were being served. So my heart has always
been to serve and support individuals and families. Yet, when
the war broke out in Ukraine, and my family in
Poland reached out to my husband and I and shared
that there's this family that they've been helping and that
(18:18):
they'll be coming to America. Could we help them? And
without hesitation, I said yes. I didn't know how, I
didn't know where they would live, what we would do,
and so that was just something that I wanted to
help in any way we could. And my husband also
raised his hand to serve and support the family. And
(18:39):
then a few months later when we got the notification
that by the way, they're coming, they'll be there in
two weeks. That's the story that I just shared with
you with Sasha, Irana and their children. And then that's
what really fueled this desire to really move forward in
just a fast and furious way.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And as we begin to wind down here, you know
you this was something that was laid on your heart,
something you were passionate about, and you just took the
initiative and just got right in there. For people who
may have a similar passion or want to have a
desire to serve, what advice would you give them, knowing
(19:25):
what you know now in the journey that you've had
so far.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
So I would say that if individuals have a desire
to serve and support families or are interested in even
serving supporting families with and through Anchor of Hope, I
would say just say, yes, there the needs are so great,
and I will be the first to say I don't
(19:50):
have all the answers I learn, you know, through trial
and error, yet there has always you know, God has
provided away and there has been just there have been
so many prayers that have been answered. So if individuals
have that desire to serve and support, there are so
many organizations to include Anchor of Hope, that need volunteers,
(20:13):
that need those helping hands, because many hands make light work,
and there's just an opportunity to serve in a mighty
mighty way. So if individuals have this desire to serve
individuals and families that are going through crisis situations, we
are happy to hear from them to get support. But again,
(20:33):
other passions and desires, whether it's serving animals or serving veterans,
many great organizations and all of them, all of them
need help. And so just I would say, don't hesitate,
you reach out and just begin to serve, because when
you serve, you will be mightily blessed.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yea, So it's been a littlemited, it's been a little minuted,
but I got some tea for you guys. All right,
So we're gonna start off with our girl, Cardi B.
So Cardi B's actually been dealing with some court things
going on. So she had a lawsuit against her excuse me,
a civil assault lawsuit. She's been dealing with this for
(24:32):
a while now, where her it was a security guard
that accused her of an assault that happened back in
allegedly happened back in twenty eighteen. She was accusing her
of putting her or scratched her face, is what she said.
And at the time, Cardi B was pregnant by the way,
(24:54):
and so they were asking Cardi B like was she
incapable and U like, you know, of doing things you know,
and she's like, well, uh, dull, I was pregnant, so yeah,
like of course, I'm like, you know, I'm out of
commission for a lot of things. And then they asked
her if she put her hands on her and called
(25:17):
her the Can I say it? Are you?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Uh well, I don't know what she said, so just
say it and if not, I'll bleep it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
She gotcha, So she called she she They asked her,
They said, did you put your hands on her and
call her a sled? And she said no. I called
her the B word, she said. I called her the beep,
and I like, dang, she like has no filter and
(25:50):
it's truly just so genuine, like that's just her, like
you know what I mean, Like, and she had the
whole entire jury cracking up through every court session, like
they were all cracking up because she's just like naturally funny.
I mean, like she's truly like one of God's favorites.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
She's let's let's get it right. I did not call
her a slut.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, she was like now listen, she was like, I've
been in some things in the past. She's like, I
got history. I know, I know, she said, but this
time I'm innocent.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Man. I didn't follow the trial that much, but I saw,
like I saw some of the clips and I saw
the memes and stuff was crazy. It was crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Her facial expressions was hilarious. Then, uh, one of the
prosecutor he had asked her, He was like, is that
your real hair? Which one is your real hair? Because
one day she went there with a blond wig, the
next day she went there with a black hair wig,
and he goes, he asked her that, and she goes
(27:02):
and makes this face and she was like, they are wigs.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
You know what I want to do one day, like
now that I'm thinking about it, as we're having this conversation,
and I know he probably hasn't know anything about this,
so I would love to ask him and get his opinion.
I want to get the prosecutor. The county prosecutor on
back on the show shot out County prosecutor Michael Maalley,
who's been on this show before, and I want to
(27:30):
ask him, like, I want you to read those like
the stuff that the prosecutors were trying to say to
her in that trial, because.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I want to know like what what like what was
the point?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
What was the strategy? What were they trying to do?
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Like, right, what does her hair have to do with
asking her if she scratched that woman in her face?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
The only thing that I could think of, and I
saw some comments on social media to this extent, and
this is probably true. The only thing that I could
think of is that they were trying to rattle her
or get her angry and upset, because the allegation was
that she beat this girl up or scratched this girl
or whatever. So that's the only thing that makes sense
(28:12):
to me is that, and that they were trying to
raw her up.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
But she's goofy and all she was doing was cracking
jokes and making them look goofy.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Right, No, they absolutely look goofy. Was there an outcome
to the case.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
She did win. She did win, so she was found
not liable in the civil trial where she was accused
of that assault with the security guard E Manny Ellis.
If I'm saying that correctly, that happened. Let's see. In
the twenty eighteen confrontation in the Beverly Hills Medical Building,
(28:47):
the plaintiff claimed that Cardi B scratched the lady's face
during an argument, alleging that Ellis was filming her while
she was secretly pregnant. Cardi B's defense argue that Ellis
was the aggressor violating Cardi B's privacy by attempting to
record her. The jury, then, consisting of six men and
(29:09):
six women, deliberated for less than an hour and they
ruled out that. They ruled in that Cardi B. It's
in Cardi B's favor. Cardi BI did that obviously. She
denied the allegations, and she warned, she said if anybody
does try to come at her again for any false lawsuits,
(29:31):
that she was going to counter sue if they tried
to suit.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Her as you should. Yeah, as you should. That'll that'll
nip some of these frivolous lawsuits in the bud real quick. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
And you know what with this and with the lady
that accused her of this, you know her going through
all this, you know what she had. You know, as
a mother, I would have been pissed off. She missed
her child's first day of school, Oh wow, because of this,
because she had to be in court.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Mm hmmmm mmmmm.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That's but you know, man, it's man, it's a lot
of greed going on. Man, everybody trying to get a
quick buck, everybody trying to you know, make get something
for nothing. You know, it's it's unfortunate. It's really unfortunate. Yeah, yeah, like,
and you know, people, you just gotta be careful. You
(30:19):
just got to protect yourself, man, because there is uh
what did Crazy Bones say? Crazy Bones said this in
an interview that there's always somebody that wants what you
have but doesn't want to work for it. Mm hm,
you know what I mean. So, yeah, you know it's unfortunate,
but gotta be careful.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Next ah, so next, So we are going to go
with Little knas X. Yeah, there are people that's you
know that they're using the you know how, everybody has
their their weird theories. People are saying some off the
wall things. But allegedly Little Na's ex was on some
(31:05):
type of pills at a party that he was at.
Uh so he was caught running down the street in
his tidy whities, high as a kite, and the people who.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Don't know, for people that don't know, that means he
was running in his rolls.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
They were definitely tidy whities, not boxers, not briefs. They
were he was in the being and his cowboy boots
and his cowboy boots. They said that he was going
back to his way. He what's that old town road?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Old road? Yeah, cowboy boots in the in the baby drolls,
so he.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Uh was he was looking. So he was charged with
four felonies, including battery of police of the police officer
after roaming they say, quote unquote naked, but he was
in his draws. He ended up getting out. He did
reassure the fans, you know, and this is what he said.
He said, your girl is going to be okay, while
(32:10):
admitting the past four days have been terrifying being locked
up in jail. And I'm like, I mean, I bet
it was. I bet it was. That's why I'm watching
my tone and watching my behavior, you know, right.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, we were talking during the break where it was like,
you know, it was awesome that the show was on
the news and it didn't involve you going.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
To jail, hey, because you know y'all y'all had y'all
didn't have y'all no faith in me. Okay. I thought
I was going to end up on the news for
being beating somebody up.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yes, because you always get into confrontations at airports.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Hey, that last run gave me a run for my money, Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
So I am not surprised because when you dance with
the devil, eventually he's going to burn you. This is
the same guy who had the Satan shoes, remember that, Yeah,
where he had tennis shoes, custom tennis shoes with blood
(33:24):
in him.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, a drop of human blood.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
There were people that were saying that they think that
that was something where he had to make a sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Well, I don't know. I don't know about all that.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
That's what the comments were saying on social media. I'm
just saying, you're saying what the you know, social media
people were saying, right, So.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
I don't know about all that. But what I do
know is when you dance with the dark like that,
bad things happen. There's no one, who ever, who ever
wins in that arrangement. Right, Lil nas X has done
some really dark things. He's come a long way, and
(34:09):
I'm not saying that in a good way. He's come
a long way from Old Town Road.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Even Old Town Road was not I mean, the song was,
it was catchy, but even then, even then it was
not very good.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah, when you started listening to the lyrics. As a
matter of fact, I think we might have did this
on the show. I think you would have. I think
you would the one who broke the lyrics down.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Yeah yeah, talking about old Town road and drinking all
doing all kinds of things. And he was going to
elementaries and stuff performing like what nobody listening, No, it
was it was wild.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
So that's, you know, to me, I'm not surprised. It's unfortunate.
I don't. I don't wish that on nobody. But obviously
he has an issue. He has a problem. I I
hope he gets help. It has been abundantly clear that
(35:06):
he needs Jesus, so I hope he gets I hope
he gets that first and foremost. But it's just it's unfortunate, man,
because it's not like the guy isn't talented, right, like
he's he has talent, but he been on some trash
(35:29):
from the moment that he got in the door, and
eventually that stuff is gonna catch up to you. I
don't I don't even want to know what drug he
was on that made him so high that he thought
it was good to, you know, stand in the middle
of the street and some cowboy boots and his drawers.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
He was walking down the street, and that he was
walking down and somebody recorded it off their cell phone,
and I don't know is.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That the Old Town Road. Good.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Now they would have started singing it to him or
playing that music.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
That's literally, yeah, that's literally what I just. That's literally
what I was just doing, the old town road. He
was on that old town road. All right. Man, boy,
oh boy, drugs are bad kids. Stay away from drugs.
Stay away from the devil too. He's not your friend.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Next, all right, So next, I'm actually kind of like, okay,
so this topic right here is something that I can
really get on. This is something that you know, y'all
know that I tend to get into. Okay, I always
got an opinion always, Okay, my mama said, ever since
(36:45):
I started speaking, I had an opinion. So I'm gonna
get all right, So young thug was talking crap. He
was talking to his girl on the phone, and the audio,
you know, it got leaked. All right. Well, y'all know
how when a man is in a relationship or whatever,
(37:06):
and you know, they woman gets to asking or they
communicate about another woman and the dude starts bashing said
woman that they're speaking about. So let me tell you
he was talking about. He was calling Glowrilla ugly. He said,
I don't know. He was like all these dudes out here,
they are probably hitting it. I don't even know why
(37:30):
she ugly, She looked like a man, she's skinny, blah
blah blah bashing her and she said, mind you just
the same dude blowing my phone up to ask what
color my eyes is? Do I need to say anymore?
Usually when a man says some stuff about another woman
(37:52):
to his woman some bad stuff, chances are he's either
a messing with said woman low key, or B he
liked that woman, he's attracted to her. Listen, I'm just
the messenger. Okay, I'm just the messenger people. That's all.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
So I will say, young thug did apologize. I don't
know if you saw that. Yeah, he did apologize. Look
at you, you like um.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Apologize Because she caught that he apologized. Has he got.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
So? Yeah, so he did apologize. I'm looking for the
actual apology right now, he said, uh, And he did
it on X he said, act glow the official. First
of all, I'm sorry to you for my words, and
I honestly don't think you're ugly at all. I was
speaking from jail, just having a hard time with life.
I don't like bashing girls and hardly ever did I'm
(38:51):
sorry to you, twin, Like I.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Said, bye, bye, ol boy, go somewhere somewhere. You ain't sorry.
That's just jail talk. Yeah you you know she got
no she don't want you.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
So I will say this. I always think it's weird
when people bash people to try to impress other people, right, Like,
I always think that that's weird and kind of corny,
you know what I mean, Like like the guy who's
trying to holler at a girl and they know somebody
(39:34):
in common, and so that guy feels like he needs
to boost himself up by trashing the other guy. Like
that's whack it is. That's so corny, and any woman
who falls for that is corny too.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Oh, you don't even know how often I've witnessed that is.
It is clown behavior.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Okay, it is incredibly whack man And that is incredibly whack.
So same thing here. I don't know where that came from.
I don't know why he decided to comfort Gorilla like that,
but I don't I don't understand that.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
But because they was probably having a random conversation with
him and his girl, and you know, just random conversation,
and she could have been like, oh this so and
so glow she pretty she done glowed up, or you know,
it could have been something you know what I mean,
like yeah, in that sense, and he was probably like, oh,
blah blah blah, I don't think so et cetera, et cetera.
(40:34):
You know what I mean, Like that could be the case.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
But how did this How did this get out? Did
somebody release the.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Oh yeah, you know, I got lead, you know got lead.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
You know, this is the issue with like George's had
quite a bit of problems when it comes to like
their criminal justice system down there, like stuff getting leaked
and cases being lost and case that they shouldn't have had, Like.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Come on, now, it's the it's the CEOs that be Listen.
There's some dirty CEOs. Darvy o, yes, dirty CEOs.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
I'm like, what the hell is going on in Georgia?
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Man, man, listen, he like, I'm telling you, I'm telling you.
That's like see somebody else said that anytime you hear
a man bad talk or woman, nine times out of
ten he hollered at her and she curved him. Or
or it might not even be that they could have
had something in the past, or something could have you
(41:41):
know what.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I mean, It's just I don't know, man, I don't know.
It was just I don't know, and I think like
and I ain't trying to be funny, but Doug has
been involved with the law enough to know that those
calls are not private, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Like some of them be they don't.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
It's like they're intelligent, but like a lot of them
are very intelligent, but they at the same point, they
don't use their smarts, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
I was about to I was about to ask, because
I don't think I might have gotten had to receive
a call or two from from a friend or something
that has some issues of something. But I was going
to ask you, so, Robin, you know criminals, Oh is
(42:37):
this they would do? Like they do know they're being
recorded right, yes, yes, it'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Actually, it tells you immediately this call is being recorded.
It'll want to tell you.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
So, like, yo, man, you gotta you gotta be aware
of that. Man. But I'm glad he apologized. I'm glad
he apologizes. I know you poo it, but I'm glad
that's his apology.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
You already did it, you dumb bashed her.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
I can't see.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
I can't see a man trying to bash me and
saying this and that about me. I don't even think
you really ugly boy, Stay it, save it because you
done said it. It's already done. The deed is done.
You already, you already said it. Yeah, yeah, you said
what you said, like, don't try to be fake in
my face. That's fake. You fake, and now I can't
