But yeah, let's get started. You know what I'm saying,
Let's get started. You know, we reflected on thought provoking
life lessons because like I was just saying, this, embracing
is a lesson.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
No, of course I got some fun facts.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:49):

to life transitions. They can reflect podcast show with your
Boy Ricky D. What y'all been up to this last week?
I got a new segment. I'm trying, like I say,
trying to incorporate listening spot like this what I call it.

(03:31):
I got a few little twists for y'all. I mean,
you know, like I say, always try to be your best.
In the process, you're gonna get better. And some people
don't like to see you get better. But they don't
like it, but hey, who is they to tell you
what you're going out of life? Though?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
So as y'all know our last week, I say, you know,
we're gonna begin.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
With quote that you know of the day.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
So I got a nice little quote for y'all. It's
kind of debat. I should have did more research, but.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
It's cool. It's a good look run too.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
The all the person who done it is I ain't
have a name, so I ain't look it up. So
but I'm gonna just run with it, you know. So
we're gonna start our day off with the quote of
the day. This week's quote the significance of a man.
It's not what he attains, but rather than what he

(04:38):
loans to attained the significance. So don't judge a person
off of a you know, current situation. You shouldn't even
judge him. But if you gonna, if you gonna decide

(04:58):
to do that, maybe maybe looking at him asine. You know,
like I just told someone, you know, don't don't judge
me for who I was. Look at me for who
I am or what I'm becoming pacifically, So you know,

(05:24):
the little John, what I guess my boy, little John
used to have he used to be the man back
then in the day, once upon a time, my mic
so long, I guess I got it tuned up to where.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Let me hear that. Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah hey yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm gonna still do
but yeah, man, significance of a man is not what
he attains, but rather than what he loans to a tag,
so you can hear it in the person's voice or
just they determination because everybody can't don't know how to communicate,

(06:13):
and but some people caring, this is what they call.
You got passive aggressive people, You got aggressive people, and
you have assertive people. Me particularly, I've been I'm a
liber so naturally we kind of they say we off balance,
but I think we want of the most balanced, like

(06:37):
time of the year a person is born, because the
zodiac play a big part, but the lifestyle or the
environment you come from is really the most important part.
So that was the quote of the day. You could
share your thoughts though to using the hashtag voice or pinion.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
It's basically just give it up. Just you know, like

I tell them, you know, to.

Speaker 3 (08:52):

Speaker 2 (08:55):
In the process of being your best you will become better.
So the significance of a man. And when they say man,
they're not just talking about the male. They're talking about
men as a human. So that goes for everyone, females, males, kids,

(09:23):
children rather but yeah, we like to call them kids.

wherever you like the Trump and begetting I'm about to
get into these current events and so so I know
a lot of people being like, y'all the best place
you all really love to be. The pandemic did it though,
That's probably what why they wanted so bad, because they like, man,
we create. We ain't gonna say we, but that you know,

(10:46):
the pandemic happened, and people were sitting around, they got
to using social media sites and everything, and and before
you know it, that one just became very famous. Because
the algorithm is different, so it's easy to build like
a follow to get people that it's an easy algorithm,

(11:09):
but they say it's another app. But that's getting into
these current events, you know. So some of the things
that have been going on is of course, I don't
know if it's truly official yet, but they about to

(11:30):
take the the red dye from out of the like
you can't produce certain materials that have that have red
dye in it. So that that should help a lot
of people when they come to health issues because the

(11:52):

just went the FDA just banned red dye number three.
They say, he said it's in a lot of the
the foods and the beverages we eat and drink. It

(12:34):
causes cancer. There's so many things called cancer. You basically
gotta just make sure you like you really can't eat nothing.
But like they say, if nature didn't make it, don't
take it for real. But look he say, food companies
gotta tell two oh, so they got a little they
got a little grace period Because I was wondering, I'm like, man,

(12:57):
if they do that, that mean they gonna have to
just take it straight off the shelf, you know, like hey,
because everybody they gotta let them make their money back.
But man, when y'all start any new production, like we

get I'm telling you, I'm pretty sure you're on Instagram.
Most young you, the younger crowded up, don't really use Facebook.
But Facebook is really a good too, they say, Mark
Zuckerberger change some rules after heat got rid of the
fan fact check thing. But Facebook cool like it allows

(15:17):
you to do a lot of things. It's basically like
the back office to Instagram. If you understand like using
the ads and setting up schedule posts and all of
that stuff. You can still do it from Instagram, but
it's kind of like better you because you can see
more when you do it on Facebook. It's actually called

(15:38):
they call it the business Suite. Mark Zuckerberger kind of
get the check. But hey, look, just make sure y'all

But Isaac Hayes Junior, he got the fan bets and
you you can invest he on. He said they the
total they letting people invest is up to seventeen million.
He said they had like almost six million. Each chair
is like four hundred dollars. To get sixty shares for
that four hundred dollars, I think, yeah, something like that,

But yeah, I think it's sixty. You get sixty shares
for that three ninety nine. But fan base kind of cool.
It's it's still like it's new, but you can tell
they they he got he got some good people behind
it with it because it's a nice looking platform.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
I need to check to see if my Instagram mark

Speaker 2 (16:48):
But yeah, that's that's going on and most importantly though
for the country's economy's sake. When it comes to other
current events, there's always something going on in the world.
But the biggest news to me is the excuse me,
the e RS, the external revenue service. Like now they

(17:10):

Let me let y'all know Israel and Hamas reached the
deal on God's the ceasefire and hostage release. So you know, war.
I don't know why war is so important. Like just
be be you know, like I know we all don't.
We don't really want to settle, but kind of be
satisfied because it can always be worse. But trying to

(17:44):
take everything over, man, just grow within you and everything
should start. That. See, that's what I started realizing in life.
And that's one of the that's like the topic to
think and reflects. Hey, man, embrace and change like it's
a transition, man. But let me finish these currently, Vince,

(18:08):

external service. Oh, they see you know what, because I

(18:38):
always heard the I R. S is not a really
a government department. It's like a comp it's a separate
entity or something. Yeah, but they tripping on you, like, man,
it's already somebody doing that.

(21:23):
ain't went nowhere for y'all that's watching live. But yeah, man,
I got a new segment I call sports Corner instead

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Of course, I gotta talk about my my Cavaliers because
they're the best team. They got the best record in
the NBA. People really starting to pay attention to them.
Like I ain't expect them to be what you should
never expect, but I ain't expect them to be as
smooth as they is. They smooth like they they be moving, boy,

(23:32):
they be getting it in you know the show. I
might I might start lett y'all just call straight in.
I'm gonna just screen the call, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
They moving in.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Make tell if you're on Facebook, make sure you're seeing
them stars. Please send them stars because all you're doing
is making this show better and better and better because
you don't have nothing out the audience or the people
as we call them.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
But yeah, other than the Calves, Oh yeah, I have
seen a couple of little clips at the.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
The Kelsey's little they I ain't gonna call it little
because they I think they got the top one. But anyway,
Brian was saying, he they the one little page on
from Cleveland. They say they showed the post word.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
He say, we.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Brian, what what you shouldn't have never? I know you
wanted to be a Laker, but but you left, and
but you helped us because if you wouldn't have left,
we wouldn't probably had a team we got right now,
like I ain't I ain't saying don't come, but I
think if you come, and if you come back, Brian,

(24:49):
this is just my opinion. You can voice yours that
voice your opinion t n RP show on most social
media platform. But any if you come back, you gotta
do a buyout with the Lakers and then you gotta
just roll with the squad man. You can't be bringing

(25:11):
that Lebron now when the playoffs come to Brian, your expertise,
but regular season just gonna have a rest man sit down.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Relax.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
But you know, it's still early in the season, so
the Lakers, y'all might get it all the way together.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
Even though y'all, I don't even think.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Y'all doing bad other than that, you know, my Brown's
they they just man them and watching just can't get
it together. So and I was, I ain't gonna call
myself a fan, but I thought Washington was gonna be

(25:49):
a difference. Man. He couldn't stay healthy. His ego plus
his own mentor got in the way. So that was
like a disaster just waiting to happen. Man, I thought
I thought it was gonna work. But when you get
the inside, like the local sports man, that the things
that they reports they've been coming across and the information,

(26:13):
it'll make you like, boy boy boy, I can't believe
this guy. But again, you can text four four zero.
I was saying, I was gonna let you call, but
you could text four four zero nine nine nine nine
five a five or comment on Facebook and were all

(26:34):
around YouTube. Make sure you like the subscribe so you
can get updates. I'm always keep reminding all that y'all
ain't gonna never hear me not say like a subscribe,
So if you can't like, if you don't like hearing
me say, man, you might well not even never listen.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
No more.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Shot fired. I ain't gonna run this show because I
kind of started late. Man, because of the situation. I
still ain't got resolved. But man, when you got people
boy that be trying to it's almost like they be
doing things. They just be purposely trying to destroy you,

(27:18):
like instead of making their life better, they'll take the energy.
I'm gonna say that for the embrace the change. But
that's what's going on in the sports corner. What I'm
gonna do from there is clod I'm gonna get better

(27:43):
with the sports because you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna see if my boy can be able to
join me on the sports corner, let him dig again.
I might I might not even do the sports corner.
I'm gonna just let that he good with the love
with the sports back. Oh yeah, I'll see. I was

(28:05):
so local. I gotta I gotta talk about the Dion
situation because you know, as the Brons, we got the
number two pick and we need a quarterback. But the
word is Dion ain't trying to have se door here
in Cleveland. He don't want him in the cold city.
But he didn't have a couple of offer. They said

(28:25):
he might be interested in the Vegas job, which is
the Raiders and the Cowboys. Jim Jones reached out to him.
That's looking like the best fit. So what they trying
to say is if Dion take that job, but the
thing is to trade that Prescott, but they probably wouldn't.
They probably have to do a city here and then

(28:47):
try to work some stuff out with Prescott. But they'd
take ahead of like a hundred some million if they
trade him. But they trying to say Lebron's are trading
but the defensive end for pn State looking good. See,
I'm I'm about to forget all about the Cowboys. But yeah,
Jerry Jones rest out to Deon that that might be

(29:09):
a good fit. Deon's just moving on up, like he ain't.
He got the Jackson State, opened it up, came to Colorado,
turns it around in a couple of years, and now
he about to come to that n NFL left where
he You know, he might got it like his his
personality fits today's players, so he might. I ain't And

(29:35):
I just thought about that right now at this moment
like that might be a great idea because Dion Dion
character fits today's players. They half of them, if not more,
all of them want to be Dion. And what Dion
with the first one doing all of like the dancing

(29:57):
and you know float flamboyan as they call it. Yeah,
shout out, damn man, big ups. But the thing is,
we're about to get to this holiday of the day.
It's a good one. It was a lot of holidays
of the day to day, there was a few of them,

(30:22):
but I chose guess what holiday of the day? I
chose this one. I know a lot of y'all probably
really wish y'all could like really make this, but it
guess how long it's been around though, holiday has been

(30:46):
around since nineteen seventy three. So this holiday of the
day is called National Nothing Day. Imagine that, and it's
really what it means. It means when it's saying, say
first hill. In nineteen seventy three, National Nothing Day was
taught up by San Francisco Examiner columnists Harold Pullman Coffin

(31:12):
to provide Americans with one national holiday when they can
just sit without celebrating, observing, or honoring anything. It is
ironic that it was created to protest the prolification of
special days, as another holiday was started by its creation.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
Although it is meant to be a day when people
do nothing.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
There are various other holidays are observed on January sixteenth,
which undermined its message. Additionally, new holidays. Additionally, new holidays,

(32:04):
well the man, because I'm playing with the screen, y'all,
y'all got an excuse me, although it appears to know okay. Additionally,
new holidays continue to be added on any given day
of the year. Coughin also created the National Nothing Foundation.
This guy even invented a foundation, although it appears this

(32:27):
no longer exists. Coughing himself passed away in nineteen eighty one,
but his holiday, if Nothing, has continued to be celebrated.
We think it's a little hard to measure the popularity
of holiday where you do nothing that day. Me personally,
that's kind of the world I'm at, Like, I don't

(32:47):
be I just want to live, you know, like because
them holidays.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Man, before you know it, you be like, damn another holiday.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
You know what I'm saying to day, this day and
that day and this day, Like can we just then
when you come from like a see, I come from
a big family. It ain't huge, but it's it's a
nice size. I got recipes uncle Lad, But I got
seven aunt teasing uncles, and that's just from my grandmother.

(33:16):
I got two more uncles from my well, that's three more,
four more, I think, Man, my grandfather got like a
whole nother like he got like five other kids, I
think outside from my grandmother. So you know, we and
we we kind of we all still communicate. Especially my

(33:38):
uncles tell me the like first positive role models. I
had recipes to my cousin. He was a role model,
you know. But when it came to because my uncle,
my uncle Will he played for Tresho at the university

(34:00):
you know tom State University, Ratherend you want, you know,
both of them went to the wood. I'm a real
most of my family Reil Road from Cleveland. But yeah,
that's the holiday of the day. Man, Just think about
it like a just do nothing. It's really a brain
fart day. If you want to say anything, it's it's
it's a brain fart day. You get what you know,

(34:22):
like brain fart to me is man, you know what
I don't want to think about nothing. That's the that's a.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Brain fart day right there. But yeah, that was the
national holiday of the day.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
And before we get into the think and reflects davement,
I'm gonna give y' all this fun fact cause this
is my this is my planet, signed Venus. That's probably
why I always be I could. It's easy for me
to stand out because my planet is the only planet
that spins clock wise. Count that count that that mean

(35:04):
we I'm in the right. I'm a balanced liver that's
spending clockwise.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
And my.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Like you know, I'm a spiritual cat. But it's what
they call the year of the snake, not the sneaky snake,
but just your spiritual animal when it comes to the
Chinese and the But it's the year, you know what
I'm saying. So as long as I keep breathing a long,
I gotta get this. I gotta get this, knucklehead. But

(35:37):
that's why we're about to go into this segment, which is.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
That they can.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Reflects that men, when we're gonna embrace change, howk to
it that to life transition? I ain't got the answer.
I had been through a lot and I'm still transitional.
So I'm pretty sure I got some type of little

(36:07):
pinion towards it.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
I like, you can't, but you might, but we can
want we want to hear about what you picking out characters.

I was telling God, I have been I just have
a rough.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Life man, even tell than maybe because it's the people
that you about allowed to be in your life.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Like I seen the post earlier life.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
The lady was talking about, you know how other people
even regardless of how you.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Might't feel or people blck it, they still.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Somehow, some way they if they drama gonna bleed into
your life and and it's gone make your life just
as difficult or problematic as there. You know, like but
that's where the embreak and change come in. That's that's like,

(37:42):
that's part of my that's part of my personal story.
Like like I'm not I have i'ma I'm gonna be
direct man I gotta, I gotta what you would say, man,
the mother and my children. Man, I swear you know
I could be more diligent, you know what I mean.
I'm saying I could be, But it's like you know
how you you don't want to reward someone for your

(38:05):
hard work, like and it almost kind of you can
almost get defeated from that. But you me personally because
I've been through so much adversity in life, you know,
and had to make real life like man, you know
what I'm saying, and accountability and hold yourself and asking

(38:25):
for forgiveness and all of that, like and doing things
that been done to you and you forgiving people even
though it's not even you who you know what I'm saying.
So you know, I like to know how how about
you all out there? Like what's the what's the things
you do?

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Went through?

Speaker 2 (38:43):
You know where you had to embrace the change like
you ain't you almost ain't had no choice?

Speaker 3 (38:51):
I know, have you have you experienced anything like getting back?

Speaker 2 (38:55):
I didn't finish the story like with the you know,
like why why why would you make life difficult for
someone who actually makes your life simple?

Speaker 3 (39:09):
Like why would you go?

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Like sometimes people don't realize the value of what they
what they like. Like the quote I started with, the
significance of a man is not what he attains, but
rather than what he loans to a team, like safe
for instance, when like embracing the change. Okay, safe, for instance,

(39:38):
you live in a big old mansion. You got all
the cards, you got all of what everything you want,
but everything like you get the money every or because
that's what most people thrive for money when really the
money is just really gonna make if you're really looking
for peace, like save for instance, me for example. Yeah,

(40:02):
you first start learning like, okay, money, money, money, money,
but then you start realizing that money is really just
a tool to make your life simple so you can
obtain what most people because peace. That's like for the

(40:24):
holiday of to day. Hey, and I didn't even plan
this thing out. I knew about the embrace and change
because I'm trying to, you know, be a step ahead
when it comes to the topic. So we can and
so I can help. It'll be easier for you all
and gaze before we even get to the show.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Ye. But man, it's just the life.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Man, It's just people gotta want it, man, because the
peace is the end goal man, Like you go get money,
you do everything you do in the process of achieving
with it, like some people do want Some people live
in vain, in vanity, you know what I'm saying, So
they go might be to say, look what I got.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
You know what I'm saying. It's like, it's really no
purpose behind me. Like everything that I.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Be trying to build, it's all have a it's a
purpose behind It's not like, Okay, I'm doing this just
to do it because somebody else doing it. That's why,
like when you create something like how am I praves?
Like people are always that they be trying to find
every flaw in it because it's catchy. You know, yeah

(41:45):
I put it together. It might even be somebody trying
to sound like it looked like or whatever, but it
ain't me. You get what I'm saying. So that's part
of it bursting the change, the fact that you transitioning.
Like me personally, I'm transitioning to a fact where once

(42:06):
upon a time I really used to be caring about
what everybody kind of thought. Not always, but I would
even though I I'm like, you know, I know, my
natural innate ability.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Is above most you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
But like I say, it's always gonna be somebody that
is trying to find a flaw within you or some
type of just it just pettiness, man, like it makes
you wonder, you know, Like, but that's what they're breaking,
the change and.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
The fact that.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
You are where you at and you really but you
your goal is to use them things to obtain something
outside of But it's always gonna be somebody or something
that's gonna get in in the way or distract you
or to for you to understand that you have to

(43:11):
check that you know, am I am? I everywhere a
little bit like I ain't my nose ain't powerful. But
I'm really kind of like freestyling with it, you know.

nine nine nine nine five A five or use the

(44:37):
like how some of your opinions are, Like how would
you approach this topic?

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Like maybe you know?

Speaker 2 (44:47):
Give me give me three three ways that you would
approach embrace the change based off of your life is
experience because I could go on and on because I'm
up there. I'dn't been through a lot man, Like I
put myself through most of it because of the decisions
we make. But that's that's where the brace and it changed,
Like do you want to change for the better? Do

(45:10):
you want to stay in the same position what they
call stagnant or do you want to embrace the growth?
Because that's what we do over here. Think and reflect
because if you ain't thinking and reflecting, how you gonna grow?

(45:31):
How you gonna know what lessons you learned through life?
How you gonna know if what situation plays a part
to where it helps your situation even more?

Speaker 3 (45:40):
You get what I'm saying. But since we had no interactions.

But with the final thoughts, you know, I want to man,

(47:00):
it's just going with some with some of my final thoughts. Life, man,
life is just like like my little abbreviation is I say,
living in fear every day.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
I say that at the beginning of the show. But
the thing is how to overcome it.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Like life gonna be stressful, and it really ain't stressful,
It only becomes stressful. Like based on my experience, is
what you allow in your life. So that's one of
the biggest decisions we gotta make when it comes to change,
is what we're gonna allow to steal be in our lives?

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Like what issues are we gonna steal? I ain't gonna
call an issue or what things what we allowed to
continue to be in our lives.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Like it's like I like I like to say, is
you know, you gotta weigh the pros and cons and
everything like somethings. Everything gonna have a pro on the con,
but you gotta weigh it like, Okay, this this might
be worth them cons that come with it or you know,
you know what, man, them pros ain't weighing up to

(48:10):
that them cons. You know, I don't know that might
not be or what I want to be part of excuse.
