I like that. [00:00:51] Speaker A: Yeah. So. Yep. But yeah. So, Greg, I'm him. How was your week. [00:01:06] Speaker B: Man? You need five more minutes of nap. [00:01:07] Speaker A: What's up? No, I'm up. I said no. I asked how was him week? You know, most time I. Every in person. Oh, okay. [00:01:18] Speaker C: I'm away. [00:01:19] Speaker A: I'm away. I'm awake. [00:01:26] Speaker D: My week was. It was good. I can't complain. I can't complain. [00:01:34] Speaker A: Ro, how was your week? [00:01:36] Speaker C: Oh, mine was pretty good. I got two. I got two jobs. I got two job offers. I'm gonna see how this. [00:01:43] Speaker A: Congratulations. [00:01:45] Speaker C: I'm gonna see how this second one go. [00:01:49] Speaker A: Okay. My week was good until like last couple hours as I laid down and said, take me a nap. Overslept. But ninth episode is episode 80. Pen Fed won't allow my accounts to cover your kids With Leroy and man, so will we. So this was Dale's. Dale, this was your topic, so we're gonna let you explain the topic. [00:02:22] Speaker B: All right, Again, first of all, to all the listeners, potential listeners, again, we welcome you, we thank, we thank again that you've thought enough of us to put, you know, to join us. And we're grateful. But again, I, I heard a conversation this week, and it kind of struck an interest in me in that a father went to mom and told the mother that he would like to take his daughter to Disney. Mom reply was, I'll allow you to take her to Disney on the promise that you'll take her five siblings that are not his son. He has one again, he wants him and his family wants to take the baby girl to. To Disney. But again, the stipulation was she must take the other five siblings that are not his and they are no longer together. So again, I posed the question. I throw it out there again. What's your thoughts? What's, you know, I mean, what do you think? Like I said, the dad just want to take his daughter to Disney to give. Give her some memories, you know, take around, have a good spring break. But again, mom is saying that will not happen unless you take her five siblings that are not his. What's your thoughts? [00:03:36] Speaker D: Nope, nope, nope. [00:03:45] Speaker B: I, I. [00:03:46] Speaker A: No, I couldn't do it. [00:03:48] Speaker B: Co workers and, and they're of the mind, where are the other five fathers? Or the other fathers? Where are the other parents? So like I said again, I, I thought this was interesting in that the man just want to love his daughter. His daughter, you know. But like I said, her claim to fame was that again, at one point in time, this guy was called dad by all. All of them. So again, that, that's her thing. You got to take all of one or none. I mean, all or none. Now, this is Disney. [00:04:22] Speaker A: Yeah. No, I still couldn't do it. [00:04:23] Speaker B: Not a cheap trip. [00:04:25] Speaker A: Yeah. So no, I still can do it. I still be able to take, I gotta take my one, I guess. Or I guess we ain't going. [00:04:41] Speaker B: I, I, you know, again, Ms. T has, you know, provoked thought and introduced, interested in me in that I became a little challenged in doing a little research, a little background, a little fact checking. Ms. Key on point. I like them anyway. The cheapest ticket you can get into Disney is about $85 and that'll cover about a day. So now let's do the Math. You got six kids times 85 at this one day. Now I'm not exactly sure where they were from, but now you got to get from wherever they at to Disney. That's an expense. And then like I said, you gotta get a hotel or suite big enough for the minimum of seven if you're gonna do it by yourself. And then like I said now, you got to get them into the park, you got to pay. And then the little rats, who's gonna eat, you know, you're gonna have to buy you some burgers, you're gonna buy you some fries. You're gonna have to do this for the length of the state. [00:05:34] Speaker D: Well, you got to remember too now, when I went to Disney like not too long ago, and them tickets are 184 a piece. [00:05:41] Speaker B: Okay, that's like, like I said, my research said the cheapest ticket was 85. [00:05:45] Speaker D: No, ain't no cheap. No 85. [00:05:47] Speaker B: Okay. [00:05:48] Speaker D: I mean, thank you. [00:05:49] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:05:49] Speaker D: You must be going on dang on at Broadway, on the beach, at Myrtle. [00:05:54] Speaker B: Beach, but go for it. Go ahead. 185. [00:05:57] Speaker D: 185. [00:05:58] Speaker B: All right, now, and then, you know. [00:06:00] Speaker D: You got to remember if you're taking kids and all that stuff like that, you still, they gonna still charge like 170something for a kid. [00:06:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:06] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? And all that stuff like that. So you got five stuff like that, two adults, man, come on now. I mean, you, you better be making some pit stop at some restroom and Hitting that thing on the way, going in to let her know that, man, look, I'm actually paying all this money for all the kids to go in, too, and for you to go in. So let me have some loving. [00:06:28] Speaker B: Well, my thing is that even if I'm at that point, I don't want no loving now, because you don't put this kind of burden on me. I ain't trying to hear that. [00:06:36] Speaker D: Just go ahead and have the lover. [00:06:38] Speaker B: I'm kind of like Gerard, like, now. Maybe we ain't going if I got to take all of them. As a matter of fact, where are they following, you know? Watch. And then, like I said again, man, you gonna have. And I don't know about y' all, but being around six kids at a theme park, and you gotta get them there, and God forbid, if you gotta fly in. I mean, come on. That. That. That's a big ticket. That's a major. That's a monster ticket, bro. You. You taking the crew with you? [00:07:10] Speaker C: No, I will not be. [00:07:16] Speaker B: Gerard. [00:07:17] Speaker C: All right, y' all can hear me now. [00:07:18] Speaker A: No. Yeah, we can hear you. No. [00:07:21] Speaker D: All right, yeah. [00:07:22] Speaker C: I don't know my joint going in and out, but no, I ain't taking nobody with me. [00:07:27] Speaker A: No, I'm not taking nobody. I mean, I can't. I ain't the one to help make them. I only made one. I didn't help make the other five. So, yeah, I'm good. I'm good. [00:07:40] Speaker B: So, again, is there any. Any validity in her argument now? Again, I. I had some mothers tell me that. Well, it's only. It's. It's not right that he should have to pay for everybody. But in the same token, do you take the one child and leave the five at home to let her come back and. And share how. What a good time she had? [00:08:00] Speaker D: I mean, let's just go ahead and be honest. That's not fair. If you take one child and they got four other kids. [00:08:06] Speaker B: Okay, I. I heard that. I heard that statement made, too, man, that. [00:08:10] Speaker D: I mean, look at that point that you. [00:08:12] Speaker B: You. You. You don't. [00:08:13] Speaker D: You might not want to go to Disney no more. You might want to actually find out what Cowan's. How many Cowan's tickets are. If it's cheaper to go to Cowan's than to go into Disney, you know what I'm saying? You might want to probably take them to Concord to a water park in Concord, then, you know, take them down to Carowinds and all this stuff like that. I mean, that just me now, you know, What I'm saying, but that actually take like seven people to Disney. You're gonna be spending a lot of money. Then you got to get the room. [00:08:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:48] Speaker D: Then you got to feed them. [00:08:49] Speaker B: Got to feed them. [00:08:51] Speaker D: You know what I mean? McDonald's. And, and, and McDonald's in Florida might be expensive than the McDonald's down here where we live at. You know what I'm saying? [00:08:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:58] Speaker D: All the prices are totally different. [00:09:05] Speaker B: I think the general consensus is that again, even though white, the mother's making a point, at the end of the day, this is a major expense. And like I said again, he just want to take care of what's his, you know. So like I said again, I, I thought it was an interesting topic or interesting. But at the end of the day, I, I think she was wrong to insist that she take all of them. You know, that, like I said, that's a monumental expense and it kind of takes the other father, the other parents off the hook. [00:09:39] Speaker C: Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. It depends on. So what is this? If, if we are not together, I'm not taking your kids. I'm not. That's, that's not happening now. Now if you are in a relationship with that person, then that's different. Then of course, you know, you need to like, like what G man said. You got to plan a trip that's gonna be, that's affordable so you can take all the kids with you. You know what I mean? That's how I look at it. [00:10:12] Speaker B: And, and that's my thought. You know, you have to find a situation that's going to benefit everybody. But like I said, I, I did see again, as a father wanted to love on his child, wanted to, to bless his child with a, with a memorable vacation, a memorable spring break. But in the same token, like I said again, for mom to put that burden on him, that, that, that now again, we just threw this out there as, as something to kind of talk about, to break the ice. Anything else you need to discuss or want to discuss, we can throw that out there as well. [00:10:59] Speaker C: I just don't see how you can expect somebody to, to put that bill. I mean, if you're not together, like I hate to say it, bless one. And like, you know, you gotta look at your, at your situation and you need, you need to talk to them other pappies and pull that money up together. [00:11:27] Speaker B: But what do you do in a situation like that? Like you said, do you just break down and just, you know, or do you fold and let it happen? Or like I said. Or do you just put your foot down, I'm gonna take mine and then. Then that's gonna be it. [00:11:43] Speaker C: Oh, no, I'm just taking mine. I'm just taking mine. Like I said, if we're not together, I'm just taking mine. I mean, this is what it is. [00:11:55] Speaker B: That's my thought. That's my thought. [00:11:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I reached on that. Like, no, no, I don't see how you can try to. Try to guilt trip somebody into doing that. [00:12:06] Speaker B: And it seemed like she was holding a child over her. His head. You know, if you gonna do this, you gonna take all of them, and if not, you're not taking the daughter. And like I said, again, I just thought that was. That was. [00:12:26] Speaker C: Yeah, I agree with you on that. [00:12:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:28] Speaker C: I just don't. I just don't see it. I mean, that's just like. Was that in the old joint? Was that a couple years back when you had the. When it was like, when they're talking about the food, like the. The dad want to bring his kids something to eat? It was like, oh, you. You didn't bring all my other kids something. That's not. That's not his responsibility to feed them other kids. You know. [00:12:49] Speaker B: That'S my thought. [00:12:56] Speaker A: But whatever the situation where she would. Okay, knowing that she probably can't get the money from the other. From the other dads or whatever, what if she says she alleviate some of that and help. Would you check? Would you then go like half instead of all of it? [00:13:17] Speaker C: No, I'm not doing half. I'm not doing none of it. [00:13:20] Speaker B: No, that's true. [00:13:22] Speaker C: I didn't go. I didn't go home. He nailed up in. So why should I go half with pain? [00:13:27] Speaker A: Whoa. [00:13:29] Speaker C: Just saying. [00:13:30] Speaker A: Whoa. [00:13:30] Speaker C: I'm just saying. [00:13:34] Speaker B: Like I said again, I. I just thought that was. That was just unfair of her to put that kind of burden on him, you know? And then like I said, you got so many folks talking about deadbeat dads and dads not wanting to do. But again, I can see the, The. The. The other aspect of it in that, you know, you got your. Your. The one child has gone to Disney, and you got these five sitting at home, you know, you know, maybe feeling bad or whatever. And I get that. But I think. I think G man had a good point in that we may have to find a plan B, you know, because at the end of the day that. That it's. It's not right that the other five should stay home. But in the same token, it's not Right. Little girl from spending time with her dad and his family. [00:14:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:26] Speaker C: I mean, theoretically, that's what you're doing. You turn around and punish and you just like, you worrying about, like you can't. You got to worry about. If you want to worry about the other kids not being able to attend, then it's like, okay, well, now you, now you basically pulling this door from, from that one child that can't help it, that her dad is actually wanting to be in her life and do stuff with her or him. You know what I mean? Like. [00:14:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean you. [00:14:57] Speaker C: That's on. That's on. You hate to say it, but that was your, that was your decision to. You know. [00:15:07] Speaker B: I've been around a lot of dads, you know, throughout my, you know, my career. I've worked with parents for a long time and I take my hat off to the parents that. Or the dads that want to step up. Sometimes dad can get bad reps in that, you know. You know, no, no, you know, deadbeat dads, no show dads. But again, here's a man that want to do for his. And again, like I said, I understand that at the end of the day, you know, he's, he's showing up, he's there. And like I said, mom won't let him be there. And I hate the fact that again, mom would put that kind of burden on him, you know, instead of her coming up with an idea, well, maybe I can do something with the five others that didn't go. But like I said again, dads have rights as well. Again, like I said, again. Know we, we always looking at those dads that, that are just, you know, not there, not, you know, not present in child's life. You got some that just want to be but can't afford to be or the mothers won't allow them to be. And I thought about that because I'm planning on taking my grand to. To Disney in July. So like I said, I just thought that was interesting. Yeah, like I said, again, would I have to choose between one and the others? So I'm just grateful I don't have to go that route. [00:16:27] Speaker D: And then, you know, like, sometimes the most important part of it is that, you know, even if it and I. And even if it's not your kid and you dating a woman. [00:16:41] Speaker B: Yep. [00:16:42] Speaker D: I hate to sound this way, but come on now. I mean, yeah, I mean, like, man, but she got three mouths. I mean, and only one of them is mine. I mean, I gotta agree with you guys, man. That's Kind of hard. [00:16:56] Speaker B: It's hard. [00:16:57] Speaker D: It's not hard. You know what I'm saying? Do I want to actually continue on being in a relationship with that person? You know what I'm saying? But you got to actually think about the dad too. Now what if you got, if you spend it, the dad got five kids and the woman got one out of the five and all his kids want to come, you know what I'm saying? So how would that work? [00:17:19] Speaker B: Would the lady get mad if you spin it and that and that, you know that. That's a whole nother conversation. I knew a young lady, beautiful young lady, I mean, and I guess JP would say the pookies in the Ray ray. Yeah. But at the end of the day, she met this guy, they kind of started kicking it. And again, truth be had come out, he had 10 kids. [00:17:44] Speaker A: God damn kids that belonged to 10. [00:17:48] Speaker B: And again I had no, 10 is too much. But she turned around and gave him two more. So my thing, I mean, I mean like I said, the communication was there. He had already made it clear. And then my thing was, are you supporting your 10 children now? [00:18:08] Speaker D: You know, when anytime you add cayenne pepper inside hot sauce, guess what? It become too hot. [00:18:14] Speaker B: Too hot. [00:18:15] Speaker D: That's too hot. [00:18:16] Speaker B: And it's too much. But again, he. That the information was available, you know, so now there's 12. He's. He has fathered 12 kids by at least four, let's say four to five different women. And at the end of the day, you know, he can't, he's just not supporting. He can't support. He can't afford to support all of them. Yeah, he. [00:18:38] Speaker D: You know what? And the best part about it is that that's when the curtains come over that from that lady eye or whoever eyes. And that's what I realized. He is a little too much. You know what I'm saying? [00:18:50] Speaker B: Like, I don't. Yeah, I mean sometimes you just gonna have to say no as much as you, you, you know, as attractive as you think he may be, you know, or again, as, as intelligent as he may until appear to come off at the end of the day. Sometimes you have to walk away, you know, the potential might be there, but sometimes you have to say no. Me, no, I can't do this. You know, can't do it, won't do it. Because like I said, he might want a Disney trip. So like I said, is it fair that, you know, she has to take her to and then. And his 10 and, and make that trip work, make it Functional. Hell, you need a minivan or a bus just to get all of them in one spot. You know, you need a whole suite. You got to block off rooms at a hotel to take care of his crew. Is that fair? And he's not. I mean, I, I hate it, but that's not the only time I've heard of situations like that. [00:19:52] Speaker D: Yeah. Oh, yeah. [00:19:53] Speaker B: You know, I, I want women to, to go ahead and understand that it's okay to say no. It's okay to say I, I, I think, I think you're a good guy. I think you got good intentions at the end of the day. But again, your situation, your past won't allow us to have a future. And not saying that he don't love his 10 kids, but at the end of the day and he's not, he doesn't have a six figure salary to even make a six figure salary. Don't maintain 10 kids. And sometimes she should have just like, I gotta walk away. Yeah. And maybe you guys know of guys that, you know, just doing what they doing, they out there and, and there's, there's no remorse in what they're doing and what they're saying. And these ladies aren't saying no. You know, I threw this topic out and we, guys kind of, we discussed it. I thought it might be something that the, the, our listeners, you know, might be able to contribute to. And if it's not, I can, I, I'll apologize. You know, like I said again, but at the end of the day, like I said, we got to be responsible for ourselves. You know, we try to throw out information that might be useful to somebody other than ourselves and just keep pressing on. But like I said, if we got any listeners out there that want to contribute, great. And if not, like I said, we may have to end this show early. I don't know. But at the end of the day, we thank again for those that, that consider listening and tuning in, you know, what ends or, or, or kind of beats up a, a podcast or any program. It's a lot of dead air. Yeah. So like I said again, if we're not gonna get a whole lot of other folks contributing if we need to end this show early, I, I don't have a problem with it. But like I said again, I, I just thank those that, that thought enough to try. I mean, le. Listen for a little while. [00:22:15] Speaker C: Y' all can hear me now? [00:22:16] Speaker B: Yeah, we can hear you, man. [00:22:19] Speaker C: All right. My joint keep reconnecting and disconnecting, but no, it's a good Topic. I mean, I think if I weren't having these issues I'm having right now, we'd be a little bit better. But. But I agree with everything that y' all said. I mean, even with the. I feel like even if you are in a. In a relationship with the person, I think you can still make it work. You know, if they have all those, you know, there's more than the kids that you have with the person. That's why I tend to agree with what G man was saying was like, you know, now it's like, okay, we got to sit down. It's like at that moment, that's when you got to sit down and go, okay, what can we afford if that's gonna be enjoyful for everybody, you know, as a family, you know, and then you can. You can make it work. You know, it may not be going to Disneyland, you know, but like you said, Carowinds, you do care, wins. No matter what it is, you can find something to do, you know, water park, even if it is just for a day and not making a full weekend out of it. [00:23:42] Speaker B: I. I think men as well as women. And like I said, you got some women that have, you know, multiple children, and I'm not beat. I'm not knocking them again, like I said, they're her children and she's claimed them all. And there's guys in the same token that come out there got, you know, multiple children. But I think if you entered into a relationship with a situation like that, I think you need to go ahead and have those conversations. You know, what happens when we want to go away for a weekend with the children, you know, who's gonna pay if there's more than one parent involved? You know, are we going to include their. Their parent, their parents, you know, into the equation? Far as we want to take the kids, kids, so. And so do you guys have some money or some funds to help us fund this situation? Because, you know, sometimes you might have four or five kids, you know, from different relationships, you know, before they hooked up. What are they going to do? So, like I said, sometimes you just got to sit down and have those conversations. You know, what, What? You know, like I say looking down the road, if we're going to stay in this relationship. That's right. And I understand that, you know, he got two or three, I got two or three at home. What are we going to do when we decide to do something family related? That's right. You know, because like I said, again, at the end of the day, you can't fault the children or mistreat the children or neglect the children because again, you guys entered into a relationship like that. That's. And like I said, I don't want fathers not to have the opportunity to father their children. I don't want fathers not to have the opportunity to stand up and say, you know, this is mine. I did this again. I want to support my children. I want to be with my children. And again, I don't want mothers telling them no for other situations or other obligations. And sometimes, like I said, moms can't. Can be a little vindictive, you know, in that again, if you're not doing this or that, I'm going to deny access to the children. You know, I think we use the term baby daddy a little bit too, too freely sometimes. And when the, the dad wants to be a father and to take care of the children. And even though, like I said, he may not be in a good financial position, again, like I said, sometimes, not always about the money, it's about the connection. Right? I know you working your seven days, but you can't make all the money, man. You're gonna have to let somebody else make some. [00:26:38] Speaker A: I ain't got enough people, so I got shorthanded. Right now. [00:26:48] Speaker B: You gotta let folks know that you hiring you, you wanna, you wanna help them make some money too, because you need to work maybe five days, six days at the most, let them make some money. And like I said, and I hate it that there's a lot of folks that's able bodied and, and need to work but can't. So you take people like Rod that's out there burning the candle, both in, you know, trying to get his love life, trying to make that paycheck. [00:27:16] Speaker A: Here we go. [00:27:17] Speaker B: Take a little nap before and then over sleep. That ain't right. Y' all help. Help Rod out a little bit, you know, riding the meat business. Yep. Do y' all have many applications in Rock? [00:27:35] Speaker A: No, I can't. I can't bring in nobody else, so. [00:27:43] Speaker B: So you just have to suck it up and keep working all this overtime. [00:27:47] Speaker A: At least for a little while longer. [00:27:49] Speaker B: Okay? [00:27:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:58] Speaker B: Hang in there, man. It's gonna get better. It gonna get better. And then like I said, Rod, how you going your romance on if you working all the time? [00:28:12] Speaker A: I don't know what you're talking about, sir. All I do is go to work and go home. That's all I do. That's all I do. That is all I do. [00:28:29] Speaker D: Or is it work all the time? [00:28:34] Speaker B: All all work and no play. Make. Make Roger. Make him miss podcast. [00:28:48] Speaker A: It was only supposed to be a nap, so. But overslept. [00:28:53] Speaker B: Yeah, man, because you're working all the time in six, seven days. Ain't that illegal? [00:29:01] Speaker A: Oh, I don't know. I don't know. [00:29:06] Speaker B: You know that ain't right. You still sleep y. [00:29:20] Speaker C: No jokes off. [00:29:22] Speaker A: We're still ill tonight. What? Well, tonight's topic was a great topic. I mean, I've never been in that situation before, because if I dealt with anybody that, like, if they had, like, I don't. I. No, I've never dealt with anybody that had young kids like that. So normally they were like, right around the same age as my son, but I was different to where if by some chance, if one asked for one thing and my son had asked for it maybe the week prior, then neither one would get it. If I couldn't get it for both, if I'm in a relationship with that person, then neither one. But more than likely, if I did for whatever I did for one, I did for all. If I was in a relationship with that person. Now, once that relationship ended, then, yeah, that. That's where I, you know, I don't do for the. That for those particular kids anymore because I'm not with that person anymore. So. [00:30:43] Speaker B: Well, you know, the situation that I, that I mentioned, those children, those five, those six children called him daddy at one time. And that was her whole claim to the situation. You. They've all called you dad. So how you gonna turn around and take one division and leave the other five at home? But like I said again, you know, walking. For a man to enter into a relationship with a woman with five children, there had to be a lot of conversation prior to that. I would think, I would hope, I would think he would know her to the point unless the separation was on, you know, not amicable, he wasn't friendly, you know, in that, you know. Well, like I said, now I want to get ugly with it. You know, I would hope that's not the situation. But in the same token, you know, you need to have those conversations and, you know, and conversation and communication is the key at the end of the day, you know, listen, when we getting ready to do things, we're gonna have to do some things that's affordable for all of us. And like I said from the more background I did, is that his family wanted to take. He know his dad and, you know, his family wanted to take the daughter to Disney. But like I said, when it was posed to mom, mom was like, no, you ain't. Unless you, unless you take them on. You won't take her. [00:32:10] Speaker A: Oh, we got a message. [00:32:11] Speaker C: And see, that's, that's self is. [00:32:20] Speaker A: Gerard. [00:32:21] Speaker D: All that work in no place was illegal. You're gonna have to get it together. [00:32:27] Speaker B: Y' all went from baby daddy to. [00:32:31] Speaker D: Blended families to talking about Rod and. [00:32:35] Speaker B: Gerard, I mean, Rowan Gerard. Well, like I said to our listener, we thank you. But like I said, again, we trying to cover it all. But like I said, at the end of the day, like I said, we found ourselves entering the news territories to rock and to, to working. And like I said, I'm so glad that you think that Rod, I mean, Gerard is working too much. That shows compassion and care. So whomever you may be, thank you for looking out for Rod like that there. [00:33:05] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:33:18] Speaker C: Very nice looking out for your well being who she is. [00:33:23] Speaker B: But I'm, I, I thank her, cuz you know what she said, cuz, Rod, you know we love you. You are, boy. But like I said, when you got a listener looking out for you like that, man, that's big. That's big. Thank you, listeners. Rod, you need to thank, you need to thank our listener. I, I, I don't know what you think. [00:33:45] Speaker A: Say what, say what? I need to do what I need to do what? [00:33:51] Speaker B: Because she seemed like she got a big heart and she compassionate. Sound like to me, I agree. [00:34:07] Speaker C: Still ain't said nothing. [00:34:09] Speaker B: It's not that. [00:34:12] Speaker A: It's not that. It's not that I want to work like that is because of circumstances I can't mention on here is the reason why I'm working seven days. So when this clears up, then I'll go back to my original schedule of five days. You know, me working only five days. But I can't, I can't really say why on the podcast. Why? [00:34:38] Speaker B: Well, rock. And I'm gonna respect the that fact. Fact that you can't say why. But at the end of the day, this further lets me know that you don't have time to contribute to a quality relationship because you working like you working seven days a week. Seven long days, and not a word from you. Seven long days. You know, I'm just, I'm just quoting the great Tony Braxton. So how you supposed to have a life, Rod, if you working seven, seven long days? [00:35:16] Speaker A: I feel like this, this has nothing to do what the topic was. There's nothing I can do. This, that's what I signed up for when I became a manager for that company that I work for. That is what I signed up for. So I knew what I was getting into when I. What I was getting into, so, I mean, I signed up for it, so. [00:35:40] Speaker B: Well, Rod, I'm gonna say this. It kind of went off topic, but again, when you talk about running telepodcast, we go off topic. Sometimes we have to shift, you know, and when we make our shift, it just is what it is. I'm just grateful that we got listeners that are listening number one and caring about your. Your busy schedule. So when you can't go on days and you. You just tell people you tired, Rod, you really are, man. You ain't lying to nobody, but you're doing what you gotta do. You're doing what you signed up for, and people have to respect that if they want to be with you. [00:36:22] Speaker C: True, true, true. [00:36:24] Speaker B: All right. [00:36:28] Speaker A: And you know, at this point, you know, I'm like this. I really don't want to be with anyone right now. [00:36:34] Speaker B: So, you know, cuz Roger too tired to be with anybody. [00:36:39] Speaker A: Yeah. So. [00:36:43] Speaker B: Yeah. And I'm not throwing your age out here, Rod, but you ain't 21 no more. You can't burn the candle on both ends. [00:36:56] Speaker A: What candle are you talking about? What are you talking about? What candle? [00:37:00] Speaker B: Just life candle. [00:37:01] Speaker A: All I do. [00:37:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:06] Speaker A: Go to work and come home. That's it. [00:37:08] Speaker B: That's it. That's it. That's it. But like I said, when you all over again, when you gonna have time for yourself? [00:37:17] Speaker A: I have that little bit of time right before I go to bed, and then right when I wake up to get ready for work. So I have a little bit of time. [00:37:27] Speaker B: And I'm gonna tell you, man, Bro, I'm gonna say this with all sincerity. You know, you taking a little time with us, had a little podcast, man, that's big. Because like I said, you could be still napping, getting your nap on, resting, relaxing, relaxing. And you. You. You thought it not robbery to spend a little time with your. With your fellow cop podcast people and those that are willing to listen. I appreciate you, man. Much respect. [00:37:56] Speaker A: Now, I appreciate y' all, so I appreciate y' all, you know, not picking on me for oversleeping because I did oversleep. [00:38:06] Speaker B: We gonna pick on you about that now. But like I said, we just giving you a pass for now. Cause we know you tired and that seven days ain't no joke. [00:38:18] Speaker A: Oh, we got another message. [00:38:23] Speaker B: Gerard has some time soon. Real soon. [00:38:33] Speaker A: I don't know about that. Because this situation out. This situation at work ain't gonna be over no time soon. So far right now, it's just gone. [00:38:44] Speaker B: It's gonna be a minute insight that we don't know nothing about. If you care to share, we appreciate it. But if, you know, Rod gonna have some time to himself. [00:38:54] Speaker A: I like to know that. I'd like to know that, too. [00:38:57] Speaker B: That's very impressive. [00:38:59] Speaker A: I like to know that, too. [00:39:02] Speaker B: See, you gonna have some time. See soon and real soon. All right, now. [00:39:05] Speaker A: No, no, I don't. I like to know about that, too. [00:39:11] Speaker B: Well, listener, you may have to just chime in one time or two more time so we get some clarity on. On Rod's free time. That's upcoming. That's impressive. Maybe she a clairvoyant. Maybe. [00:39:26] Speaker D: Maybe she got a meeting board. [00:39:28] Speaker B: Maybe she got a crystal ball. Maybe she rolling. [00:39:32] Speaker D: I don't know. [00:39:33] Speaker B: But at the end of the day. [00:39:35] Speaker A: Did you say rolling ball? [00:39:37] Speaker B: Rolling ball. [00:39:38] Speaker A: Oh, no, that's what I thought you said. [00:39:40] Speaker B: Rolling balls and sinners. I don't know if y' all seen the movie Centers yet, but it's excellent movie. You need to go see it. But like I said, it had a lot of layers of. [00:39:51] Speaker A: Of. [00:39:52] Speaker B: Of things that's going on. But like I said, she was rolling bones and. And. And. And. And looking at some. Some. Some dark magic kind of stuff. [00:40:00] Speaker D: I don't know. [00:40:00] Speaker B: But anyway, we don't know, but listener, I'm impressed. [00:40:08] Speaker A: Yeah, I saw Sinners last week. I saw it last week, last Saturday. It was good. It was a good movie. [00:40:16] Speaker B: I enjoyed it. [00:40:17] Speaker A: I enjoyed it. [00:40:19] Speaker B: Smoking Stack was outstanding. I think the director, again, he had a lot of stuff that was layered in. Yeah, I. I think that, like I said, when he picked his cast, he did a wonderful job in that. Again, other than. Than, you know, Smoking Stack, some of the. The. The. The players. The other actors were not unknown, but like I said, you didn't see them often. So, again, like I said, he. He made an excellent statement, but I enjoyed the movie thoroughly, and I encourage those that hadn't seen it to try to go get out and see it. Wonderful date move. If you're still, you know, you're in that dating phase and you just want to go out and. Good move. Great movie, Rock. You saw the movie? [00:41:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I saw it. [00:41:11] Speaker B: You made time to see the movie. [00:41:15] Speaker A: Went to a late one. Late movie. [00:41:17] Speaker B: I hope I Go by yourself, man. That. That kind of movie, you don't want to go by yourself. [00:41:24] Speaker A: And it tells you a lot of people there. Yeah, you can't invite a lot of people there. [00:41:29] Speaker B: Oh, I like the way you replied to that it lets me further know you can't invite everybody in. [00:41:37] Speaker A: No, you can't. [00:41:38] Speaker B: You can't invite everybody in. [00:41:43] Speaker C: Hey, Dale, he say that, but he always do. [00:41:46] Speaker B: He can only come in unless you invite him in. Oh, you know, that's a good movie. You want to hold somebody hand and eat some popcorns? Did you. [00:42:06] Speaker D: Did you hold some hands? [00:42:08] Speaker B: Did. Yeah. Did you hold some hands? [00:42:11] Speaker A: Oh, I held my own hand. Hold my hand hand. [00:42:16] Speaker B: Like, held your own hand and nothing else? [00:42:18] Speaker A: My own hand. That's what I did. Nah, nah, I didn't. Nah, I just had me something to drink. That was it. [00:42:31] Speaker B: Okay. Tay, you didn't go. You didn't enjoy the movie, then you gotta go with somebody. [00:42:37] Speaker A: I enjoyed the movie. I, I. You know what? I enjoyed the movie and all the people. And all the people that was there enjoyed the movie. [00:42:49] Speaker B: Okay. Also now, you know, maybe our listener haven't gone to that movie yet. Yeah. And maybe she needs to go to that movie and have us some popcorn with a little butter on it and. And hold somebody hand. And Rod, it's sad that you got the hell had to hold your own hand. What? Better you. Yeah, yeah, I'm, you know, busy, man. That you are. [00:43:17] Speaker A: I am. I am very busy. Yep. [00:43:25] Speaker B: Rob, like I said, sometimes you just got to say no, man. Sometimes. You know what? I can't work seven days no more. I give you six, I give you five, but I can't give you seven, you know? [00:43:37] Speaker D: And it's so easy to do work all those, like when you clocking in and all that stuff like that. It's a totally different beast if you're working seven days a week and they give you that 10 hours a day, five, eight hours a day. Once that paycheck come, it hit different. [00:43:56] Speaker B: It do different. [00:43:58] Speaker D: So for, like with Rod, he probably saying, sitting there saying to himself, like, man, look, if they gonna keep on paying me over time, I'm gonna just go ahead and take that. I might feel kind of sluggish. [00:44:12] Speaker B: Yeah, it might be a little sluggish. Wow. [00:44:18] Speaker A: Well. Well, technically, I'm already mandatory. I supposed to work 44 hours, so I'm supposed to get four hours of overtime anyway. But, you know, grocery retail, I can't. Like, I can schedule myself for 60 hours, but I can't work 60 hours because of, like, I got to make sure that my other. That the people under me get their hours. So I have a lot of long days where I got to take long lunches instead of me getting 60 hours at the end of the week. I max out at like 47, but I'm there every day. [00:44:57] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:44:57] Speaker B: So you know what, you know what? [00:44:59] Speaker D: And I'm, I'mma tell you this, man. And look, they, they got something that calls Chinese time. Chinese time is when and when you on salary. I'm not on salary. But you as a manager, let's just say you got a clock in and they say they guaranteed you 40 hours. Anything after 40 hours, they pay you time and a half. [00:45:20] Speaker B: Yep. [00:45:20] Speaker D: So when you clocking in and all this stuff like that, if they want you to actually work these hours and all this stuff like that, they gotta. [00:45:27] Speaker B: Pay you, you know what I'm saying? [00:45:28] Speaker D: I don't care how long you got to be there, they gotta pay you. If you take two hour long break and they want you to work 14 hours a day, you gotta remember now, you're not been in that place for 12, 14 hours. But then it, you know, and, and whatnot. So they call it Chinese time. You know what I'm saying? May, you know, I, I, I remember a time when I was working at this, at this concept, this different concept and all that stuff like that, and all that stuff like that. We had the Chinese, they used to. [00:45:58] Speaker B: Actually do the 45. [00:46:00] Speaker D: Like anytime you work past 45, once you clock in, you get paid for, man. Look, I used to actually sit there and get that, I used to get that 58 because then that, that check used to look a little different. [00:46:15] Speaker B: Yeah. It's received a little different. That's all right. Like I said, don't you let them play you now. [00:46:22] Speaker A: No, no, but what, no, it's, no, it's not them, to be honest with you, it's me because how my bonuses fall. I got a scorecard. So one of the, one of the things on my scorecard is keeping my overtime down in my department. And that's the biggest, like one of the biggest pieces of the whole other than my audits and stuff like that. The biggest part of my, my bonus. So yeah, I'm there seven days, but I'm not working eight to ten hours every day. So I have days where I might work from like 6 to 12 or 6 to 11. So I'm only there like 4, you know, 5, 5, 6 hours. And then I have the longer days where I have to be there till 7 o' clock, which is my manager mids. So I might work from seven to seven or eight to seven. That's only two days out of the week. And then I have my regular shift, my regular shift while I work by myself. I got two of those. So that's why I. I don't never get 60 hours, but I'm there every day. But it's just that overtime that affects my bonus. So as long as I keep my overtime down a week, which I do, the most I get is three extra hours of overtime because I'm already mandatory 44 hours that I have to work. So that helps me. That just helps my bonus at the end of the year. Well, we get a bonus every six months, so that helps my bonus. It's just the driving every day. I drive an hour to work every day. So that's why. [00:48:01] Speaker B: So, so right. How that, how does that affect your dating life, man? [00:48:07] Speaker A: What do you mean? I'll be tired? Because I still got. That's still a drive. I still got an hour drive. Even if I'm there for four or five hours. By the time I come home, most people are still at work. And then by the time everybody get off work, I'm sleep or catching up on getting me a nap. [00:48:29] Speaker B: So all work make Rod a dull boy. [00:48:35] Speaker A: Well, I mean, some people look at it like that. [00:48:38] Speaker B: Hold your hand. If you working all the time and cutting meat, who gonna hold your hand? [00:48:44] Speaker A: I mean, if I'm. If I'm cutting meat, nobody can hold my hand because the knife is in one hand. I know, I know. [00:48:56] Speaker B: I. I get you, man. I, I get. I get you. But like I said, man, sometimes you just don't have to say no. Just got to say, but look, I. I appreciate a man of, of your caliber in that. Again, you. You have a work ethic. And sometimes that eludes a lot of people, black and white, a good work ethic. You know, you just got to do what you got to do. So that's a good thing. Yeah, that's a good thing. [00:49:24] Speaker A: No, but there was a. I don't. [00:49:25] Speaker B: Want to go, but I know, like I said, When 5 o' clock roll around, I. I have no option. I gotta do what I gotta do, that I gotta do. That's right. [00:49:34] Speaker A: I know one person told me this was. This was a while ago told me that, well, the question was asked if they said, let's. Let's pick up and go just to say Atlanta, for example, would I be able to go? And I explained what my work schedule was. And that person said I had a slave mentality. [00:49:59] Speaker B: Wow. [00:50:01] Speaker A: Told me I had a slave mentality that own. Owned it. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, you gotta have your U time, which I understand you, you know, I Can only do this for so long of working seven days, because I'm getting older. I just. And being able to unload trucks and break down pallets. [00:50:20] Speaker B: That's interesting. [00:50:23] Speaker A: Huh? Oh, they. Oh. Reconnected. Want to appreciate everyone that's listening. I'm going to play these four messages. [00:50:35] Speaker B: Go for it, man. [00:50:38] Speaker A: What's up? [00:50:38] Speaker E: What's up, fellas? Renaissance, new headphones. Are you able to hear me? Check one, two. Might sound nice. [00:50:48] Speaker A: What's up, Renaissance? [00:50:50] Speaker B: We hear you. Thank you, Renaissance. He heard how he said long breaks. [00:50:59] Speaker A: Yeah, I take a long break. Like my lunches. Yeah. For me, a lunch, I. Sometimes I gotta take an hour, hour and a half to cut back that time, to give that time back, so it doesn't affect my bonus. [00:51:12] Speaker E: Yeah, I know what you mean. I drive about 2,000 miles a week, about 45 minutes from my job. People don't realize when you drive to work, you gotta drive back. [00:51:23] Speaker D: Back, too. That's true. [00:51:28] Speaker A: Yeah. So you looking at my drive time is two hours a day. Two hours a day. [00:51:34] Speaker B: That's two hours road time, Renaissance. That's a lot, man. You be careful when you're on them roads, man. And we appreciate you guys, you know, listening this evening. Thank you much. [00:51:47] Speaker E: Yeah, my job, they offer bonuses depending on how fast you get done with your loads. But I look at it like this. If I get done with my loads fast, that means I'm probably breaking the law. Unless they don't cover it. I'm gonna just do what I do. [00:52:10] Speaker B: Renaissance, you hear me? If you don't hear nothing else, you'll be safe out there. Like I said, whether you get their own time or a little behind time, you be safe. We ain't got but one Renaissance. We ain't got but one Renaissance. And have enough respect for us to call in to chime in. And, brother, we. We appreciate you. Because trust and believe, if you don't make it, like I said, again, only people lose is us. So, like I said, you keep doing what you got to do. Stay safe. It. [00:53:07] Speaker A: Like I said, we appreciate everyone that's listening that left messages. [00:53:14] Speaker B: For sure. For sure. You know, I. I want to say this. We are really small podcasts. We are really humble small podcasts. And like I said, for those that. That chime in, those that call in, God knows, we thank you. We don't know what kind of long channel longevity we're going to have, and like I said, that's why we encourage each and every one of the listeners to contribute a thought, you know, a possible topic so that at the end of the day, we can contribute. Ms. Key, like I said, and again, we, we, we. We thank you. Even though we miss you tonight, Cali. Like I said again, a lot of our. Our shows been kind of rotated around you. We thank you and all the other listeners, man. Again, you got to keep in mind that this is relatively new for us, but like I said again, we're just humbled and. And grateful that you allow us just an hour out of your life. And I know we're coming close to the end of the show, but like I said, for me, I'm. I'm just grateful. I. This is all new to me. I cannot thank Gerard enough for introducing us to this. Introducing it to me. Ro, Like I said again, seasoned veteran and pro. Thank you. Whenever JP is not around, he's at work tonight. We miss him. Him. Like I said again, these are all my dear friends, and like I said, I'm grateful to each and every one of all of you. Like I said again, I wish our topic had generated a little bit more conversation. I mess with Rad a lot, but I love him. I respect him, the fact that he's putting in those kind of hours. So again, I, I thank him. Ro. Like I said again, I. I met him through a mutual friend. I get to say that I love him now as a brother. So look, you guys keep doing what you're doing. Like I said again, if we hit one, make a difference to one, and we've done a good thing for this podcast run and tell it. We're here for the longevity. We're here to. To just, you know, to. To share a thought again, take us serious or not. Like I said, we're having fun. I wish you guys could see behind the scenes in that. Our fellowship is awesome and we enjoy it. So whether we. We reach you or not, we're here for you. And like I said again, that's why we want our listeners to chime in, so we know what direction we need to go in to make this. This part of our lives a little bit more entertaining for you. I think I just did my. My closing statement. I think I did. But we still here. Him had to step away for a. [00:56:11] Speaker A: Well, next week I'm gonna take an earlier nap so I don't oversleep for this one because this one threw me by me over sleeping like that. That kind of threw me off for the night. I'm kind of throwed off still trying to wake up. [00:56:33] Speaker B: Row you good. [00:56:37] Speaker A: I know he's at. Well, he's at work. So he probably lost, you know, because if he lost signal, he would have dropped him. [00:56:45] Speaker B: Okay. And again, to all our listeners, again, thank you all. Like I said, you know, you thought it not robbery to chime in and to share a comment or a thought. We appreciate you. [00:57:03] Speaker A: So. Yeah, yeah, we can hear you now. [00:57:10] Speaker C: Yeah, it's going in and out. [00:57:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I figured. So we're. Y' all gonna go see Centers? [00:57:22] Speaker C: Yeah, supposed to be Sunday. [00:57:25] Speaker A: Sunday. [00:57:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:57:28] Speaker B: I, I don't. I want you to go in with the open mind. Like I said, this director, right. Again, like I said, Black Panther 1 and 2. [00:57:41] Speaker D: Ryan Colligan. [00:57:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I forget his. I can't. I don't want to mispronounce his. [00:57:45] Speaker A: Coogler. Ryan Coogler. [00:57:51] Speaker B: He's done some amazing work. I think he's an excellent businessman that, like I said, at the end of the day, this movie is his. [00:57:59] Speaker D: Yes. [00:57:59] Speaker B: Which is normally not heard of being produced. Like I said again, of course he made a good portion of the box office, but the movie is his, so he'll. He'll be forever paid as long as his movie is running. [00:58:12] Speaker D: Man, that movie doing pretty good, man. [00:58:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:58:14] Speaker D: That movie doing dang good. [00:58:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So like I said, at the end of the day, you guys go out, you enjoy it. Try not to go by yourself. Get you some good popcorn with a lot of butter on it and a Pepsi, sit back, enjoy. And like I said, when you get home, think about the movie. Yeah. Think about, like I said, what's going on with it. There's a lot of things going on underneath the surface. Yeah. It expresses a lot of our history and a lot of our culture. [00:58:44] Speaker D: And it's actually, it's a meaning behind. Exactly, exactly is the meaning behind everything that they're. That they're doing that they're doing in the movie. You know what I'm saying? [00:58:55] Speaker B: And, and again, in regards to the whole concept is evil can only come in when you invite it in. Yeah. If you don't invite me, it can't come in. If you say no, you're no is no. So like I said again, I want you guys to go out and enjoy the movie and enjoy. And like I said again, if you get to go with someone, don't go by yourself. Like I said, it's a great date night movie. Had to go by yourself. Like Rod, go enjoy yourself. And, and then, like I said, support the movie. Like I said, excellent. I mean, the cast is excellent. Yeah, the, the, the, the, the theme is excellent. Like I said, Again, Smoke and Stack can be. Beat them as a dynamic duo and turned out to be number, you know, one person. But again, like I said, enjoy and. And just go ahead and do something for yourself. [00:59:51] Speaker A: I didn't say. I know. I. Well, I didn't say anything. I didn't say I went by. I went by myself. I just said there was a lot of people there. I didn't say. I didn't. I didn't say I went by myself. There's a lot of people there. There's a lot of people there. But I think I'm just saying. No, no, I was not. No, I'm just saying. [01:00:19] Speaker B: Honestly, I wasn't gonna sit here and think if he went by himself. That's just something men don't do. They don't go and sit in movie theaters by themselves. But I wasn't gonna call him out like that. But no, now that he brought it out, you know, again, and I'm quite sure there was a list of people that would have likely have gone with you that you just said, no, I. [01:00:39] Speaker A: Don'T know anything about. I don't know anything about this, sir. I don't know anything about this. I don't know anything about a list, sir. There's a stretch of the imagination on that one, sir. I don't know anything about the list, but I did. [01:00:56] Speaker B: Now, it could have been more than the person that you. You went with. It might have been somebody else that wanted to put. They. They share a bucket of popcorn with you. [01:01:09] Speaker D: Well, you know, ain't nothing wrong with seeing bucket of folks popped on to your neighbor. [01:01:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:01:15] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? So imagine you in the movie theater by yourself, and then somebody seen you eating, chomping down some pop gun, and. [01:01:22] Speaker B: You want to show you popcorn and they looking at you a bucket. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:01:26] Speaker D: Go ahead and offer it. [01:01:27] Speaker B: Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Which came with some popcorn. [01:01:30] Speaker D: It might be a Caitlyn Jenner. It might be a Caitlyn. It might be. [01:01:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Be careful now. [01:01:36] Speaker A: I mean, wow. [01:01:38] Speaker D: It could be a lot of popcorn eating out there. [01:01:40] Speaker B: Someone could be just a lovely person that you just need to enjoy that popcorn with. That's right. [01:01:46] Speaker D: I mean, there could be some people from Alphabet. A bunch of people from the Alphabet. [01:01:50] Speaker B: But it's dark. Don't be fooled. [01:01:52] Speaker D: Y. Somebody can be rubbing your kneecap. [01:01:55] Speaker B: You don't know. [01:01:56] Speaker D: You don't know. [01:01:57] Speaker B: Jungle. [01:01:58] Speaker D: Jungle Rod. [01:01:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:00] Speaker A: So what's his name? Oh, no. Oh, no. [01:02:05] Speaker B: Careful now. [01:02:11] Speaker D: You got them in the. Either they Got kids in the fetal. [01:02:14] Speaker B: Position and they talk about this leg is my good leg. [01:02:18] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [01:02:19] Speaker B: And this leg is kind of weak and. And then he probably did. But my third leg. [01:02:26] Speaker D: Sitting there saying, like, hey, I, I, I can't touch. [01:02:30] Speaker B: You with this arm, right? [01:02:32] Speaker D: I got meat with this. [01:02:33] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I'm a meat something. Yeah. Got keep his hand strong. Yeah. Barbecue chicken. [01:02:44] Speaker A: I don't know what y' all talking about. They call me that for a minute. I don't know why, though. [01:03:02] Speaker D: No, we can't call him Rock. Listen to that. [01:03:03] Speaker B: Calling rock. Yeah. [01:03:05] Speaker D: Say Rod. [01:03:06] Speaker B: Rod. [01:03:06] Speaker D: That don't sound good. Hey, hey, Rod, man, I got a rod. What the freak you calling him? Yeah, yeah, no, no, we changed that up. [01:03:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:18] Speaker A: Well, no, most time y' all call me. Most time y' all call me. No, that's J.P. call me Jigalo. [01:03:23] Speaker B: J.P. romeo. [01:03:27] Speaker D: But we just, we just out here having a good time. [01:03:30] Speaker B: That's all. That's all. [01:03:32] Speaker D: No pun intended. At. [01:03:36] Speaker A: Oh, we got a message from. [01:03:39] Speaker B: This time, like I said, has been carved out for us just to kind of fellowship. We, we have identified the importance of men just coming together and just hanging out. You know, the, the, the, the concept behind, you know, the podcast was introduced dudes to us later. And again, we just enjoying each other's company. And like I said, if we can encourage, support anybody along the way, that's what we want to do. That's right. [01:04:09] Speaker D: Gerard, play that message, brother. [01:04:12] Speaker E: All right, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. And don't forget, we have the Universal Soul Circus. Well, here in North Carolina, a lot of. But yeah, that was, that's good business as far as Coogler is concerned. But I don't believe he owns the movie until after 25 years. But I mean, that's better than nothing. And, you know, that's inspiring because, you know, we could do that, you know, even on a lower level. [01:04:42] Speaker B: So, you know, good for him, hey, brother. [01:04:47] Speaker D: But, but how does that work, though? Like, they do they actually get it out Certain. Because now from what I read now, and I don't care if anybody fact. [01:04:56] Speaker B: Checks me, because I'm good with it. [01:04:58] Speaker D: But from what I. From what I read, it cost $95 million to make the movie. That's what I read. [01:05:06] Speaker B: They made all that back. They said they made that all of that. So they said. [01:05:10] Speaker D: They said, yeah, so do he gets. Is so who. [01:05:13] Speaker B: Who he gets a portion of the box office with some comments on money, though. Because you got to remember now, this. [01:05:20] Speaker D: Movie right here going to be on Netflix. [01:05:25] Speaker A: Y' all sound far away on my end, but I don't know about to everybody else's. [01:05:35] Speaker D: Well, at the end of the day. [01:05:37] Speaker B: Again, like I said, G man don't care who facts find them. But that, you know, at the end of the day, you know, like I said, again, it was a great work. And, and again, like I said, those that have directed movies all concur that it was a good movie, it was well made, the cast was excellent. [01:05:58] Speaker D: But, you know, a lot of people starting to do that. Like I seen the other day, Reese Witherspoon got a couple movie that's on Netflix. I didn't even know. You got Kerry Washington on Apple TV and Prime. Amazon Prime. [01:06:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:06:15] Speaker D: You got Tyler Perry doing some stuff. [01:06:17] Speaker A: So how. [01:06:18] Speaker D: I mean, like, how do that really work? [01:06:20] Speaker B: Like, do they get paid? [01:06:22] Speaker D: How many times do they look? So I think it's like something like the more the movies out, the more they get paid. You know what I mean? Is it like a certain percentage? You know what I mean? Or is it like annually? Or do they give. Drop them one bucket, say, I'm gonna give you $5 million right here. [01:06:37] Speaker B: You ain't got to worry no more. [01:06:39] Speaker D: You got to remember at the end of the day, before Bill Cosby got into all that trouble, Cosby show still was a successful show. [01:06:47] Speaker B: Yep. [01:06:48] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? They were very successful. [01:06:50] Speaker B: And a spin off A Different World. [01:06:53] Speaker D: Yes. [01:06:54] Speaker B: And people. [01:06:54] Speaker D: People don't understand that these people still was making. They were getting money. And when a Cosby Show. When Bill Cosby. The stuff happened to Bill Cosby and all that stuff like that, they don't want to pick. They don't want to pick Cosby show on tv. [01:07:08] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? Now with A Different World store on Netflix. Yeah. Still making some money. [01:07:15] Speaker D: But did he do. Did he ep. [01:07:19] Speaker B: I don't know. [01:07:19] Speaker A: Did he write. [01:07:21] Speaker D: I don't know. [01:07:22] Speaker A: I don't know. [01:07:23] Speaker B: I don't know. But I know A Different World is still playing on Netflix. And again, I noticed some residuals coming from somewhere to somebody. Yeah. You know, so. [01:07:32] Speaker D: All right, so. And not to switch the subject at all. Not to switch the subject at all, but I think that we need to take this conversation a little bit deeper into the NBA, the NFL and whatever you need to talk about for the last couple minutes, I seen a video of Shador Sand, Shador Sanders and all that Cleveland and all that stuff like that. And his presence. Like, like people. A lot of kids want to be like him. A lot of kids want to be at him. And then yesterday morning when I woke up, Coach prime was talking to epidural epicor web. Epicore. So in Las Vegas and all that stuff like that. And he was talking about cats and dogs, and he was saying that if you made to be a dog, you can't have cats in your house. You know what I'm saying? So, I mean, one of his message. I'll probably send it to the group later on, but we all should. [01:08:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:08:39] Speaker D: And that's what he was saying, you know what I'm saying? He was saying that you're a dog. [01:08:43] Speaker B: You can't have cats in your life. Yeah. [01:08:45] Speaker D: That's what he was saying. [01:08:46] Speaker B: You got to be a straight up dog. [01:08:47] Speaker D: You got to be a straight up dog. You know what I'm saying? And like, from seeing that and all this stuff like that, and then following his kids and all that stuff like that, at one time I was like, man, this guy, this little kid is so brat, bassy, brashy and all that stuff like that. But when I understand that who his father is, his father never, ever, ever change himself. Never changed himself. You know what I mean? From sitting on a chair with little Dion Jr. With his dad, I mean, his mom being it, he never changed himself. [01:09:19] Speaker B: He confessed to be suicidal at a time. [01:09:22] Speaker D: Yeah. He said. [01:09:23] Speaker B: Yes. He said at one time he was suicidal. But like I said again, he tried to instill a, a, a, a, a a thought, a power in his children's mind that you can be great. Yeah. You know, and you can't. You can't knock your door. Who he is. [01:09:39] Speaker D: You can't knock none of you. [01:09:40] Speaker B: Because. Exactly. Because of who their father was. [01:09:43] Speaker D: Exactly. [01:09:43] Speaker B: And that says that father was there to instill it. [01:09:47] Speaker D: And let me, let me tell, and let me tell all the listeners this. And if, who you want to be, like, if your dad was flashy, your dad had nice things, obviously you gonna want nice things. You cannot stay away because your dad told you how he, You. You've seen it. You know, I'm saying from growing up. [01:10:11] Speaker B: I don't, I don't want to drop into the spiritual aspect of it, but when you think about who your father is. [01:10:17] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:10:18] Speaker B: There's some greatness in you. [01:10:19] Speaker D: That's right. [01:10:20] Speaker B: There'll always be some greatness in you because of who your father is. [01:10:23] Speaker D: That's right. [01:10:24] Speaker B: That's just who it is. And we were made in his image. [01:10:27] Speaker D: That's right. And that. And that's. That's my spin on it. But we got two message. [01:10:32] Speaker A: All right. [01:10:36] Speaker E: I agree. I agree. What's going on with Shador for what I understand is very disappointing. And I believe that's a prime example of them putting you in your place. Because you got to remember there were reports with what's that dude that went the first. First pick, I believe he was caught drunk driving. And you know, everybody know about Travis Hunter. But to me, they have both of those guys under control, and I believe they're controlling Travis through that woman. But when you have somebody like Shador, and it's gonna go into part two. [01:11:30] Speaker D: Hey, before you play that message, Gerard, now question right quick. Is it so. Question right quick. Is Kanye west right? [01:11:38] Speaker B: Right. [01:11:39] Speaker D: For what? He what? He spazzed out a couple like last year and said people like your thoughts. Like when. If you come out and you say what's right, people will actually try to blackball you because you saying what's right. Is Kanye west right about that? Is he right up. I know some. He. He say a lot of stupid stuff. But before, like when he first got on that little spill, when he's saying the media could trump control your narrative, you got other people controlling how. The way you act and all that stuff like that. They control how much money you make and all that. But is Kanye west right? Because if you think about it, the NFL just did that. They just did that. I mean, so they can't sit there and say that this has never been done before because Eli Manning father did it. [01:12:28] Speaker B: Archie. [01:12:29] Speaker D: Archie made it for Eli. [01:12:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:12:31] Speaker D: You get what I'm saying? That he didn't want. [01:12:33] Speaker B: Would have made it. Right. If Archie can do it. [01:12:35] Speaker D: Exactly. [01:12:35] Speaker B: That, that, that, that, that again, Dion can't do it. Exactly. [01:12:39] Speaker D: But yeah, you get what I'm saying. [01:12:41] Speaker B: And the difference is obvious and. [01:12:44] Speaker D: Exactly. That's what I'm trying to get at. [01:12:46] Speaker B: Yep. [01:12:47] Speaker A: But Dion thought they had a. They somewhat had a seat at the table. They thought that they could do with like you said with Eli and Archie did. And then Ro had brought up. But Roe brought up John Elway did it also. [01:13:06] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah, he definitely. [01:13:07] Speaker A: So it's been. Other. Other people did it, but they couldn't. They couldn't do it. [01:13:13] Speaker D: And I hate. And I. I hate to sound this way, trust me and believe me, but do we really as African American are Spanish American, Puerto Rican? Do we really have a seat at the table? [01:13:26] Speaker B: No, no, we really have it. [01:13:28] Speaker D: Do we have. [01:13:29] Speaker A: No. [01:13:30] Speaker D: Do we really have. Do we really, really have a seat? That's because if you think about it now, if we had a seat at the Table, whatever. We think it should be the menu item, and it should be agreeing with it. Yeah, the menu item is the best thing. All right. Whatever we feeling is our menu item. So we actually sitting there and we giving them what they need to know, you know what I'm saying? Sometime I'm tell y' all this too, and I'll let you play that message whenever you get time. But sometimes, like you, it's not good to share your idea with everybody. [01:14:03] Speaker B: You can't share your dream with everybody. [01:14:05] Speaker D: Because they'll take that. [01:14:06] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Or they'll still. They'll sabotage it. [01:14:10] Speaker D: That's right. [01:14:11] Speaker B: Yeah. You can't share your dream with everybody. [01:14:13] Speaker D: But that's just me. I'm just speaking. [01:14:15] Speaker B: No, that's good thought. That's good stuff. [01:14:18] Speaker A: It is. Oh, a minai science. [01:14:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:14:23] Speaker E: So when you have someone like Shador with a powerful male presence and his father, Dion, you know, they're intimidated by that because they don't need the NFL. And when prom says something to the. The effect, you know, I don't want my boy to go to Cleveland and I'm a pull of Eli, they didn't. They felt a type of way about that. So I think that had a lot to do with him being drafted so late in the draft. You know, they're trying to show them who's boss. And I believe we missed the opportunity to boycott the NFL, but instead they went to go get Jay Z to bring us back. What do you all think about that, as far as, you know, as far as that's concerned and having, you know, children of your own and. And the way they still pulling the same tricks? [01:15:22] Speaker D: So. So one thing right quick, and I'll let you guys answer. You got to remember, too, now, so when you got kids, that's entitled you. You know what I'm saying? Like, people love the Travis Hunter story. You know what I'm saying? So they eating that up. People love the Cam Ward story, but when you got a Shador Sanders story, that father already worth millions and millions of dollars, and he being brass, they gonna eat that up. Especially when you got a father that's outspoken like Dion, you know what I'm saying? Travis Hunter dad was in jail. He's not in jail, but he's his mom, Single mom, raised him with six. I don't know how many kids they got, you know what I'm saying? And all that stuff like that, but you got to think about that story right there, too. So people always will eat up a story that benefit them, you know, What I'm saying, and this story right here is that, look, you got hands down, man, the man was the Big 12 player of the year. He passed for a lot of yards, broke Colorado record and all that stuff like that. And just because he didn't want to answer a couple questions because he think that he was going to be a number one or number, number one or number two pick, you can't hold that against him, you know what I'm saying? But what they did is that they actually said, hey, we gonna actually show him a lesson. You know, his dad talked too much. [01:16:45] Speaker B: That's what he did. [01:16:45] Speaker D: He talked too much and all that stuff like that. And the saddest part about it is that we all know who in control at the end of the day. Yeah, ain't nobody controlled by God, you know what I'm saying? Once he actually sit there and he done anointed him, he might not start this year. He might start this year and he might show them what he can do, you know what I mean? But they say he hold the ball too long. He don't answer question goods. And he told one team that, hey, man, don't interview me, because I don't, I ain't gonna answer your question. We don't know that. None of us was there. You know what I'm saying? He told the New York Giants, man, sit down. I don't wanna. Man, come on now. I don't think he said that. I just think that he probably didn't answer the question that they would love. [01:17:29] Speaker B: Him to answer or how they wanted to answer it. [01:17:32] Speaker D: That's right. Yeah, but that's all G, man. Said it in the nicest way as possible. [01:17:42] Speaker B: Did good. Yeah. [01:17:45] Speaker D: And as a father, you sit there and say, man, God dang it, why you, man, how the heck you stop cursing up? You start throwing things at the Tick because you know how good your kid is. [01:17:56] Speaker B: Exactly. [01:17:56] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? [01:17:57] Speaker B: Exactly. [01:17:57] Speaker D: You stop cursing. I mean, you start acting wild. [01:18:00] Speaker B: But I, I, I want to think. And again, if I'm wrong, you guys forgive me and excuse me, but the white owners came to the table and they agreed that, you know, Shador is too brash. He's being, he's, he's being more like his dad. But you're holding it against him that he has a father that loves him. You're holding it against him that he has a father that wants his very. Wants his son to have the very best that's out there. Be mindful now that if Shador never takes A snap a day in his life. If he does his money right, he'll be fine. Well, he's still gonna be the rest of his life. He got a bunch of money. He. I mean, like I said, I mean, I want him to come to the NFL. I want him to decimate some of the teams that passed on him. For those owners that said, he's too brash, he's not our caliber, he's not what we want. I want him to go in and go to work. But at the end of the day, like I said again, we should take our hats off to Shador and. And Dion, because like I said again, he wants to play ball. He don't have to. He don't have to play ball to make a living and be comfortable. But like I said again, some folks said that he. He's not our cup of tea. But like I said, I think, like I said, ready or not, Chador is coming. He's coming, and he's loaded for bear. And like I said again, I can only wish him the very best in doing what he can do and what he's shown to be able to do. And like I said, welcome to the NFL, Mr. Mr. Sanders. [01:19:34] Speaker D: Well, I, I, you know what? I'mma tell y' all this, man, I, I was looking at the Carolina Panthers. Man, I wish that team well this year. They got all the pieces and all that stuff like that. I wish that team well, you know what I'm saying? I was looking at some of the players that they got. I also was looking at. [01:19:53] Speaker B: They did good in the draft. Yeah, they did good. [01:19:55] Speaker D: I was looking at Cleveland, too, and all that stuff like that. The only sad part about Cleveland is that they drafted a quarterback before Shador. [01:20:04] Speaker B: They did. [01:20:05] Speaker D: So of course they gonna let him play some. You know what I'm saying? So that's the only sad part about all that stuff right there, is that, man, you drafted somebody before another quarterback, before him. I mean, is this guy going to get cut? How the quarterback room look, you know? I mean, you got Pickett, you got Flacco, you got. What's his name? Dylan. Dylan. Is it Brooks? [01:20:31] Speaker B: I'm not sure. [01:20:32] Speaker A: Gabriel. Gabriel something or. [01:20:34] Speaker D: Yeah, so you got Gabriel, and then you got him. That's a loaded. And then you got Deshaun Watson, who's not playing this year because he re injured his Achilles. Then you got him signed for next year, too. Guaranteed contract. Now, you know what I'm saying? So how that's supposed to work? So you're gonna let Flacko Be the quarterback. You can cut pick it. You gonna cut Gabriel? Are you gonna cut Shador? [01:20:59] Speaker B: You ain't cutting your door. Too much money. You spend too much money on your door, man. [01:21:04] Speaker D: They ain't spend no money on your door yet. [01:21:06] Speaker A: They spend no money. [01:21:09] Speaker C: I think they plan on shipping them out anyway. [01:21:14] Speaker B: That's a possibility, fellas. [01:21:16] Speaker D: But you know what? They can get some draft pick for Shador. You know what I'm saying? I. I just think that how the way and you did y' all hear hear about the. The young fella that shoot suing the NFL because nobody drafted Shadur in the first round when they say he was first start round because they said they somebody suing for a hundred million dollars. Now somebody can fact check me on that. I'm cool with it. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If I'm right, just give me my. Give me my props. [01:21:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:21:48] Speaker D: Give my pills. That's it. What kind of pills you want? I want that lucky. Anybody know about the lucky pill? Have you ever had the lucky pill before? [01:21:59] Speaker B: No, I never had beer. [01:22:00] Speaker D: Nobody never had the lucky thing. [01:22:02] Speaker A: No, no. [01:22:04] Speaker D: Everybody, everybody. Everybody on this podcast. Podcast already took a lucky pill before I. [01:22:10] Speaker A: A lucky pill? I don't know. [01:22:12] Speaker D: Yeah, well, a lucky pill, AKA asthma, gets to give me my aspirin. I'm good. [01:22:16] Speaker A: Aspen. Oh, yeah. [01:22:21] Speaker D: It keep the blood flowing. A lot of people don't understand by aspirin. [01:22:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Gotta keep that blood. [01:22:35] Speaker A: What I think they're gonna do is I think they hope. I think Cleveland drafted them. But I like. I believe what I think. Rose said they're gonna ship him out, but he's gonna go to one of those other teams that need a quarterback even though they drafted a quarterback. So it's either gonna probably be the Giants. I'm thinking of Pittsburgh. Not even the Giants because. Because the Giants already heavy. [01:23:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:23:01] Speaker A: Because what's gonna happen? What's gonna happen? [01:23:03] Speaker B: Giant fan. I would love to see him in. [01:23:06] Speaker D: No. [01:23:06] Speaker B: Nobody want. [01:23:07] Speaker D: No. Nobody should. Let me tell you this, man. That's a waste of time. But Cleveland smart what Cleveland did is that he knew Cleveland Brown know for a fact somebody later on gonna need. [01:23:20] Speaker A: A quarterback then getting them picks. Yep. Yep. So that's what I'm thinking, that they're going to trade them for picks later on because Pittsburgh, they picked the quarterback after Shador. [01:23:39] Speaker D: No, I thought it was. Oh, no, you. You're right. [01:23:42] Speaker A: No P. Yeah. In the sixth round. That's what made me mad because I'm like. I'm not even I'm. I'm a Ravens fan. But that was crazy that the Steelers waited until after Shador got drafted. And then the very next round, they draft the quarterback knowing that all they got is Mason Rudolph. [01:24:02] Speaker D: Well, from what. From what somebody said. Somebody said it was a lot of people saying, telling the owners to tell the GMs, not the draft, not to draft them, not to draft them, not to draft him. When he go off the board, then you draft the quarterback you want. Man, look, let me tell y' all something, man. I will be one angry father. But what Dion said, man, to God be the glory. That's what he said. He said, I'm glad that one son got drafted and the other one actually was able to actually drive, sign a contract. And he said, man, look, that's what. That's the only thing he wanted. You know, like he said, the money is there. I mean, his kids are good. [01:24:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:24:40] Speaker D: You gotta remember now, on top of. [01:24:43] Speaker B: What he already had, I'm saying. [01:24:44] Speaker D: Yeah, so door made some money. So when he signed that contract, even. All right, then Poopy blonde from Colombia. I might be saying the name Brown from Columbia, South Carolina. Never, ever had a chance. Poofy. [01:25:03] Speaker B: Had. [01:25:03] Speaker D: He had glasses on. Yeah, wearing some glasses. And he was able to get contact. [01:25:11] Speaker B: And then the contact. [01:25:12] Speaker D: He was able to get Lasik surgery. That's what Lassic. Lasik surgery. All right, so he was able. Poofy. He never ever seen the ball. They thought he. But he could pass the ball good. You get what I'm saying? And a lot of teams didn't take him. You know, I don't even know his true name, but he ended up. From what I was told now, he ended up at Coastal Carolina. Now, they say he was a blind as a bat. He was blind as a bat, but they said that he was eight. He was. He did enough passing that he was able to go to the NFL. But by his height, by his. By his height, he was not. You know what I'm saying? By him being 5 foot 9 or 5 foot 10, that just like being my height, 5 foot 10, 5 foot 11. They said he wasn't going to make it in the NFL. You know what I'm saying? So people already make judgment of these players. Look at Russell. Russell Wilson. Wilson, you know what I mean? He 5 foot 11, but look how long he won the NFL. He won a championship. He did good with Seahawks. He might not. Did too good with Pittsburgh, but that's his height. He did good at what, the college he went to Wisconsin, right? He did good there. But he was at North Carolina. North Carolina State first, Right, I believe before he transferred. [01:26:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I think so. [01:26:42] Speaker D: So hype don't mean nothing. [01:26:44] Speaker B: No. [01:26:45] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? And what I'm. What I'm trying to get at is that if you. If you got somebody in your family that's well deserved of being a good quarterback, cornerback, lineman and all that stuff like that, just keep pushing that, man. Because there's a lot of haters out there. [01:27:02] Speaker B: A lot of haters. [01:27:03] Speaker D: I mean, they drink. They drink that haterade. They drink that Gatorade. [01:27:10] Speaker B: What's the other one? [01:27:11] Speaker D: What's the other aid that they drink? [01:27:13] Speaker B: Powerade. [01:27:14] Speaker D: Okay, so how can we actually make poway the haters? [01:27:21] Speaker A: I don't know. Oh, no. [01:27:23] Speaker D: But it's a bunch of stuff that people drinking out there. [01:27:26] Speaker C: They drinking. That made. [01:27:28] Speaker A: Yeah, that. What did you say that made you right about that? [01:27:35] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:27:38] Speaker A: Well, it just. [01:27:40] Speaker D: It's just sad to me, but. Yeah, we even getting ready to say brought. [01:27:44] Speaker A: No, I was gonna say we got a message from Menace and then probably go ahead and close out because. Yeah, we are. Yeah. Over an hour and a half. [01:27:54] Speaker B: We over. Yeah, I knew we was over. [01:27:57] Speaker A: So I'm gonna play Minnesota's message. [01:28:01] Speaker E: Yeah, I agree. I would like to see him in Carolina. That would be a good look. What do you think the chances of Dion Licking get up with his buddy Jerry in Dallas and him get Shadour in Dallas? What do you think the chances of that happening? [01:28:22] Speaker D: Man, Jerry act like he. He has something going on mentally on draft night. I mean, he was drafting people that I was like, man, you still need a quarterback. You know that. [01:28:32] Speaker B: That get hurt all the time. All the time, all the time. [01:28:39] Speaker D: But that would be priceless, though, because, you know, from what I was told is that beyond compound, where he live at is like what, an hour away from that beautiful stadium? [01:28:55] Speaker A: I don't see it because the. Jerry don't. He doesn't want to do it. He doesn't want to. How he want his coaches to be. Everything be incentive based on. So that makes your contract smaller because everything is by incentives. You know what I'm saying? You know, you get so much if you make it to the playoffs. You get so much if you make it to the, I guess the NFC championship game. You get so much if you get in the Super Bowl. He believe in incentive based contracts. So it's like. I don't. But nobody's doing incentive based contracts. He's trying not to. He's trying not to pay nobody. That's why him. And what's the name keep going back and forth. The, the linebacker, Parsons, because he wants to do an incentive based contract for him. And that's why they still haven't signed the contract yet. Unless I'm, unless something happened recently. He hadn't signed the contract yet. He's still on, I guess on that rookie deal. [01:30:03] Speaker D: Well, you know what's so sad about it? I mean like, pay these fellas, man, look, if we were all able to get in the NFL like right now, and let's just say you were a first round pick, Rod, and you were Dale, a first round pick and all that stuff like, and we hold out and the only reason why we holding out is because we need more money. And the only reason why we need more money is because, look, we got to pay our agent. Look, don't, don't forget now, the NFL gonna be taken for that retirement. Regardless of what they're gonna take up front. That retirement. Then you gotta pay. You got so much assurance, you gotta pay this. So if you sign $25 million for 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, and all this stuff like that, you gotta remember when you break it down, you ain't getting 25, you ain't getting $5 million a year. You only getting like probably $1 million by the time the NFL don't take what they need to take and the taxes come out. You know what I'm saying? So of course, if you want to negotiate your contract and you say I need $60 million, LeBron James said it best. And I, and I said it this like that. He said, why would I sign? Back in the days when he was Cleveland and when he was doing 35 million, he said I need 40. Because he already knew that he had to actually pay his agent a million. He already knew he had to pay this, that, and how his family. And then he already knew for a fact the taxes was going to come out. You know what I'm saying? So it's a certain amount of money that you need to actually survive. You know what I'm saying? If that makes sense. [01:31:34] Speaker A: Yeah, but if you look at the. [01:31:36] Speaker B: The, the, the, the title, NFL, the title says not for long. [01:31:41] Speaker D: That's what he sound like. [01:31:43] Speaker B: You gotta get in and get yours and get out. [01:31:48] Speaker D: What's not for NBA? I don't know what NBA? [01:31:52] Speaker B: You don't know? I don't know about NBA. [01:31:55] Speaker D: I don't know neither. [01:31:56] Speaker B: I gotta think about it. [01:31:57] Speaker D: I might have to go to Urban Dictionary, say NBA. [01:32:00] Speaker B: But you Know what's in there. But at the end of the day. But you gotta go in, make your money, make smart decisions and get out. [01:32:07] Speaker C: That's it. [01:32:08] Speaker A: But no, but also too the. Every year the page changes because. Okay, let's say I'm gonna use us for example, all four of us. Let's say wide receivers, okay, let's say Ro. He had like. Let's say he had the. He was in the. In the top. In the top five. So what happens is now him is in the top five. So now he gets to bargain for more. So let's say Dale got the. Matt got. Got like the biggest contract of all wide receivers. That changes the whole thing. Like with the quarterbacks, with. When Russell Wilson got the guaranteed. And then. Well, the other one from Cleveland, the one that one. The one that won. Deshaun Watson, he gave up getting the most guaranteed. And then what happened? It changed again. Then I think Joe Burrows. Then it was Lamar. It changes every. It changes every year. So that's like I said, going back to the Jerry thing. That's why Jerry's trying to make it incentive based. [01:33:25] Speaker B: On. [01:33:26] Speaker A: Because it changes every. Every year. If you look at it, this receiver might be the. Might be the highest paid wide receiver this year. Next year it might be somebody else and then the next year somebody else. But it keeps going higher and higher. And Jerry ain't trying to pay that money. [01:33:44] Speaker D: Well, I feel. I feel. I really, really, really, really do feel bad for. And now look all you Dallas fans. I feel bad for you. You're your owner, your president, gm. He didn't do anything for you guys other than get picking. Who's a headache. That guy George. Picking is a headache. That joke, that joker. If he don't get the ball, he cried. You got CD Lamb. If he don't get the ball, he cried. But God dang, how many headaches you need on your team? Then you got. Then you got Parks Michael on the defense side. If he don't get a sack, he cries if the offense. Like what the heck. I'm kind of concerned about you Cowboys fan. I'm really concerned about you Cowboys fan. But like you said, Gerald, we gonna have to end this show because we already over and all that stuff like that. But I'm kind of concerned about the Cowboys out of cowgirls fan. You know what I'm saying? I. Look, I used to be concerned about the Raskins fan, but after Reskin they. They got their stuff together with a good quarterback. I'm kind of concerned about the Cowboys cowgirls I'm definitely concerned about the giants too. [01:34:53] Speaker B: Oh, man, I love giants. [01:34:59] Speaker D: Sitting there. Sitting there. He's a lollipop. [01:35:01] Speaker B: Yes, he is. [01:35:02] Speaker D: He's a lollipop. He's sitting there. [01:35:04] Speaker B: He. [01:35:04] Speaker D: He walking downtown, trying to try. [01:35:08] Speaker B: He's still trying to figure it out. [01:35:09] Speaker D: No. Well, that's the thing. [01:35:11] Speaker B: Yep. [01:35:11] Speaker D: He said, but he can motivate you. [01:35:13] Speaker B: No, please. He can't motivate himself. [01:35:15] Speaker D: Well, he gonna tell you a story. [01:35:17] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. [01:35:18] Speaker D: Okay. [01:35:18] Speaker B: You know a lot. Don't care who tell it. [01:35:20] Speaker D: That that's true. [01:35:21] Speaker B: A lie. Don't care who tell it. [01:35:23] Speaker D: That's right. That's facts. But we're gonna. We're gonna let Gerard go ahead and finish up this show. [01:35:29] Speaker A: All right, before we do closing thoughts, I want to say I do know a person that liked the cowboys, and I would not say anything negative about the Cowboys, us today. So with that being said, we're gonna start with Dale, your final thought for the night. [01:35:47] Speaker B: Dale, final thoughts again, for all those. Our listeners, we thank you. Again, like I said again, if our. Our initial topic did not motivate or interest you, we apologize. But at the end of the day, like I said again, I want people to think about relationships. I want people to think about, again, the children that they have as a result of relationships and what they need to do. Again, we kind of slide slid into centers. Excellent movie. Like I said, I encourage folks to go out and see it. Great date movie. Again. Give it some thought. Don't just look at what's on the screen. Be a little bit more bolder. Be a little bit more influenced and challenged and to look beyond. Please understand that. Again. Running. Tell it again. We appreciate each and every listener. We do. Like I said, we're about having fun. We're about enjoying ourselves. We're about entertaining. And we're about informing every night that JP Is not with us. We miss him. But like I said again, he's with us in thought and spirit and in mind. Well, again, we thank the fittest again for. For each and every one of you. Thank you, guys. [01:36:51] Speaker D: And then I'll go next. The only thing I. I gotta say is. Happy mother's. [01:36:58] Speaker B: Yes. Yes. Yes. All. All the mothers. [01:37:02] Speaker D: All the mothers. All the. [01:37:04] Speaker B: You know, we. [01:37:04] Speaker D: We might have been. [01:37:05] Speaker B: We might have been. [01:37:06] Speaker D: But happy Mother's Day to the mothers who mother us. [01:37:11] Speaker B: Yep. [01:37:12] Speaker D: And some of us who lost mothers. [01:37:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:37:15] Speaker D: Like that. You know, we. We still. We still love you. Yeah. [01:37:20] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? And for the women that never actually push a child through their womb, but still took on the role as mother, as auntie extraordinaire. Again, we thank you. Like I said again, Mother's Day is coming. This is my first year without my mom, and I cannot tell you that I haven't thought about her every day since she's gone. But, you know, throughout her life, you go with it, son. When I leave you, you're gonna miss me. She said that not to be, you know, vindictive, anything, but because she's been such a great mom, you know, and she hasn't told a greater truth every day. And I think of her, and I miss her. And. [01:38:04] Speaker D: And. And just to finish out, what I got to say is that to all the people that got mothers here, please, please, please cherish your mom. [01:38:13] Speaker B: Yes, yes, cherish your mom. That's. [01:38:17] Speaker D: I mean, please, whatever you do, cherish your mom. [01:38:20] Speaker B: Because when she gone, she gone. No conversation. No more conversation. And have those conversations with her. The Bible tells us to honor thy mother and thy father that are our days belong upon the earth. He never said it was a good mother. It never said it was a good father. [01:38:38] Speaker A: That's right. [01:38:39] Speaker B: It just says, honor them. That's right. And that's what we need to do. If you don't do but once a year, pick up the phone, send her a text. Mom, thank you. I acknowledge you. You know. [01:38:52] Speaker A: Ro, you got a final thought. [01:38:57] Speaker C: Happy Mother's Day. [01:38:59] Speaker A: That's your final thought. Okay. Like I said, we. We appreciate everyone that. That's listening, everyone that will be listening later on tonight. I would like to say happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. And as far as tomorrow, Tomorrow is Mexican Mother's Day. So we want to say happy Mother's Day on Mexican Mother's Day tomorrow. And to. As far as the topic. As far as the topic goes, it was a great. It was a good topic. I was sleepy when we started. I didn't wake up until, like, later on in the show. But to answer any question from the topic earlier, if it was asked of me, like, if I. If it was a situation with my, like, with my son and I and it was. Was with other, like, person I was dealing with other kids, I probably would say something like this because I told Row, but I probably would say something like this. It'd be like, would you. I'm like, so I want to take. I want to take my son to Disney World. And it'd be like, well, you can't go. Can't. If you can't take all the. If you can't take all the kids, then you can't go. My reaction would be when I shot off in you, I created that one. I didn't shoot off on you and create the other five. So you need to figure that out. And I'm taking my kid with me and I'm leaving. So, with that being said, happy Mother's Day. We'll be back next week. And this was a new episode from Running Taylor podcast. And we are out. [01:40:45] Speaker B: Peace. Peace.
