So I'm saying so we holding it down.
Speaker 1:And last time you were on the podcast, you weren't teaching here yet.
Speaker 3:Oh no, no no, no, I was in transition, man, yeah you would transition.
Speaker 1:I mean, you drop, you know your book for sure, two books actually Off the show. Yeah, you had two books. You know that. You released. You know author out here, published author out here, winning Words, publishing baby, and now you're back teaching. So what is that like, coming back here to you know a very big part of your childhood, coming here and teaching you know the I don't even want to call them the youth, but teaching the younger, the younger generation man.
Speaker 3:First off, man, let me. Let me first shout out my auntie. You know what I'm saying. It's her birthday today. I'm watching. I know she's resting in heaven right now, but I know she's the one that got me in the education dealing with the youth. No, I'm saying so definitely want to shout out to her on her birthday. She would have been 73, 72 today. Also, I want to shout out all the Scorpios that's in there, that's in this world, paying attention, because it is Scorpio season and that Drake album just dropped.
Speaker 3:So, hands on your knees, you feel what I'm saying. But getting back to the question, that hand, you know I'm saying it's been a wonderful situation. I know this is my second year here, so it's definitely been a beautiful transition. Just being on the other side now, I know it's definitely interesting, especially with some of my students being up in here right now, listening to them, hearing, hearing me talk about my life and my old stories. It's a full circle moment, man. I know just being able to relate with them and being able to get them the game that's going to help them for real, for real. You know I'm saying it's a definite, it's a, it's a joy for me. No, I'm saying because I definitely didn't see myself being in this position If you would have asked me this about 10 years ago, before I graduated from college. But I'm definitely glad that that the vision is coming, coming to light. No, I'm saying I thank my auntie for that. No, I'm saying because my auntie, she was a principal for about 30 years in Denver School District. She definitely, and still I ain't gonna say instilled that, but she used to always drop the type of gyms on me, always saying like you can lead the youth, you can do that type of stuff. So being full circle, moment in it, and especially being at the high school that I went to and graduated from, is definitely a blessing.
Speaker 3:I don't take it for granted. I understand my role as a black male teacher. You feel. You know I'm saying like it's definitely important because, especially with like, because I teach freshmen and juniors and I definitely feel like it's important for a freshman, whether young I ain't gonna say young, but male or female to see a black male teacher in the beginning of their journey. No, I'm saying because a lot of students don't get to see that and I definitely embraced it more, especially like coming off their first year when parents was like, hey, man, like you the first black, you the first black male teacher my kid didn't have coming into school. Or first black male teacher my kid had period. So it's like I take that in a. I take that. I don't take that for granted. You know what I'm saying Because I know when I got, when I got here, you know, especially way back in 2003, like when we, when we first got here, like seeing a Mr Evans or Mr Siobhan, you know what I'm saying Like or Mr Todd, you know what I'm saying, even though he was an OG, or I pre my boy, mr Todd, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:He was, he was an OG male teacher Cremorousaur, but he did the infamous pinky. He used to be funny. But just having that, just knowing that I'm a great black male presence in the game is a, is a big thing for me now, especially in these 30s main Like it's definitely important for me to be in the position that I am in. I definitely say that.
Speaker 1:Right. So what was it like when you got the call or the opportunity presented itself for you to come back here and teach, like you said? You know we talked about our, you know journeys and things like that, and so you didn't necessarily see yourself going down. You know the the teacher, teacher, instructor route. But when this opportunity presented itself to you, what was your thought process and like, did you have any hesitations about it? You know it was like is that something I really want to do? What was that like for you?
Speaker 3:Oh, man, I say it was a smooth transition, man, I know me, me and Dr Edwards, we've always had a good, a good relationship. So I know from the from the jump, when we came across each other it was, it was easy. I know, before I got here I was already teaching different teaching at different high schools, teaching healthy relationships. So it was like I had already had that experience dealing with high school. But then when me and Dr Edwards connected, it was like a, it was like a match made in heaven.
Speaker 3:I know from the jump, when we even when we did the interview, like I know we, he prayed you know what I'm saying In the beginning of the interview. I I've never, never had that happen before in the interview, where somebody pray about you coming to the school. You know what I'm saying. That's some, that's a different type of level. So it's just like when that happened I ain't gonna lie I already knew it was going down. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:So it, once the prayer happened, I was already like all right, this, this, what it is. Then, once they gave me to go, it was a no brainer. You know what I'm saying. So it was, it was a smooth transition for me, man, because I I don't know. I don't know if I wouldn't have, if I would have been able to do what I do now at any other dip and any other type of school. So it's definitely a blessing, man, and it's deaf and I know, shoot, just hitting the ground running like it's just been a blessing, like we've been. We've went viral you know what I'm saying All over for having over 40% black, black, male students, Right?
Speaker 1:that article was from the American, wasn't it?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was an American CNN, I know NBC came down here and interviewed us. We've been all over, all over the news everywhere. So it's been like getting that notoriety for being a black male teacher in general. You know what I'm saying. It's been, it's been dope. I feel like I've been winning since I got here. You know what I'm saying. Like we, the one state champions Shields, football, basketball. We got a soccer game today that for the senior night. They about to hold it down. I know our volleyball team won their district yesterday. So shout out to the ladies volleyball team and of me and soccer team that about to play tonight, if y'all, if y'all listening and when y'all do listen.
Speaker 3:So just like seeing stuff on the seeing stuff on the rise and seeing the evolution. It's been great for me, cause you know, when we was here, you know we didn't even have it like the gym was about as small as this room. Now they got a multi-million dollar facility and stuff like that, like. So you know, the evolution is amazing thing. So I love, I love the transition here and I definitely see myself doing my thing here. I ain't going to do the Dion, you know what I'm saying. I got more years in me. You know what I'm saying. So they they going to see a lot of me here and I'm definitely glad for my. I'm glad for my evolution Cause if I, if I wanted to evolve as a man and just in my journey in general, I don't feel like this position would have been as successful as it is right now.
Speaker 1:All right, gotcha. So what are some of the most rewarding things about being a teacher and what some of the difficulties that you you face when it comes to that?
Speaker 3:I say that I say the rewarding, the rewarding things is definitely just being able to make an impact on a student that may not have thought that impact could be made. And I'm saying like I feel like for me I deal with every student on every level, far as from freshmen to seniors, like every student in here know that I will talk to them and that I will build that relationship with them. Just because I've been on that other side and I can talk to them like how I was spoken to when I was here, like I can talk to them on some real stuff. I can talk to them on some school stuff, I can talk to them on some street stuff, I can talk to them on some light stuff, so I can relate on all levels. So I feel like that helps me with the students to be able to feel comfortable with me and it just makes stuff different when any other I ain't gonna say other teachers probably couldn't, but I just know I done been through these walls and been through these doors. So it's like it give me a different perspective to get the students. So that's a very positive for me.
Speaker 3:A negative, I won't even say it's negative, but it's just working through the system, me going through the different relationships with the students and stuff like that. Everything might not be positive, every day might not be positive, but I understand the bigger picture. So I mean the negatives always turn into a positive because I mean the class I teach, far as with leadership, one and two is just a different type of swag, so my whole get down in class is different. So it's hard for me to compare or even give a negative, because leadership in itself is a broad based thing, like if this was like math or science or something like that biology, engineering you know what I'm saying I would probably have a different answer because that's a different type of energy that you gotta give from that type of subjects. But being that I'm in leadership, I teach leadership. I just get to come at it from a different angle. So the negatives always turn into positives for me because I just approach it different. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:So, that's what I would say would be my negatives and positives. As far as with teaching, you know what I'm saying Everybody have different opinions. I don't feel like I'm the normal black teacher, black male teacher you know what I'm saying. Like I feel like a lot of students see, like a black male teacher is either like you, either real, or they think you like a little cardin banks or something like that, and I'm just like no dog, I come from where you come from. So it just make it a positive thing, even if it is negative, right.
Speaker 1:And with us when we were here, leadership was. Leadership was one of those classes that like stuck out and it was a different format and style versus, like you said, biology or math or Spanish or whatever we were taking. You know, it was an opportunity for us to really, you know, learn about our heritage and our culture and where we came from in our history and how we could apply it to today. And I think that's something that you know the generation after us does a really good job of, or they are like way more aware of the stuff that is going on versus, you know not to say we were, you know, had turned a black eye to it or weren't aware of it or whatever, but they are like, really, really on top of it.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:They want to speak to that change or whatnot, but speaking to change, you also going back to school too. Oh man, totally. Yeah, yeah so what was that decision Like? What was? Like? You know I need to improve on my skill set. You know I need to. You know, hone in on something. What was the deciding factor for you going back to school?
Speaker 3:Oh man, it was a little bit of all that, but what I will say, man, I feel like I went to church with my mama, like right before. It was like right before the school year ended, and it was like I forget what the pastor said because I ain't been before then, I hadn't been in church in a while, but I forget what he said. But it was something in a form of like you need to give back to what you you need to. It was like something like you need to give back to what started you, or something like that. And like I was like, oh man, I ain't get what that meant. But then it was a chain of events that happened and I was just like, man, I need to step my game up. So, understanding what I want, understanding what I want to do in this field of education, I just knew it was time so I had to make it happen. You know what I'm saying. Now, before I did that, I had to consult with a few people. Like it was, I had to consult with my OG, mr Clark, president, over at Loyola Academy. I had to consult with one of my OGs, mr Umanam, who was on the guidance counselor here, and there was a few people that went to slew in the leadership in the educational leadership program that I'm in right now, just to inform me of the pros and cons and the pros definitely are what the cons so I had to make that happen Now.
Speaker 3:Being in the program now is definitely interesting. Of course, I'm the only black dude in the class. Of course I'm the dude that always got a different opinion from everybody else, but it's all for the good, though, cause they hear my perspective, they hear the west side in me, they hear the north side in me, but they also understand that I'm coming with it and I'm really about this and that I'm really here for the change in my program. So I mean, it's been a beautiful situation right now. Hell, I got class Saturday. You know what I'm saying. It's a beautiful thing, man, like I love the journey, I'm on with it and I definitely see myself doing big things once I get this master's in 2025.
Speaker 3:I do attend St Louis University. You know what I'm saying. That's like if we had Cardinal Ritter right now. It's like right around the corner for everybody that's listening in the world. So it's an amazing school. It's definitely the swag is definitely different from my HBCU that I went to, but I mean it's still great for my educational goals, so I dig it. They definitely make sure that you stay involved in everything. You get emails about everything, like I know Safe Answers. Like you was talking about homecoming, I know they was trying to get me to be a part of this tournament. What's that game where you gotta throw the bean bag through the-.
Speaker 1:Cornhole.
Speaker 3:Cornhole man. Cornhole man invited me to a whole cornhole tournament. I've never, as a black man, I've never been invited.
Speaker 1:I've only played that brown white, like I played it.
Speaker 3:But like you say, like that just ain't the game, like I'm just like hey, could y'all try to link up and play some cornhole. So I mean it was just that difference right there. Like I was in a coaching shot you know what I'm saying Like y'all and they was real, like I showed up in everything, like it was cracking. But I mean like just that debt right there. Like I know, if I was at NCCU homecoming like they, like let's spend the bottle. Like let's see who's gonna drink these drink type stuff, not no cornhole. Now they was drinking while they was doing it but I mean like it's just it's homecoming season, right?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's just a different swag though. So but either way it go, man, it's a good school, man, Good institution, definitely a good different. I ain't gonna say a good difference, but I just like the difference. You know what I'm saying. Like it's a good situation, yeah.
Speaker 1:Have you noticed anything with their program where you kind of like not saying anything negative but like on some like nah, that ain't it, like the way, nah, that thought process ain't really it. And here's why, like you said, providing this other perspective, because I'm assuming you in there with like 99% white people All them all them yeah.
Speaker 3:What I will say, because I know most of the people that's in my classes. They're either teaching in like middle schools or they're teaching in very diverse schools.
Speaker 3:They don't have no black students in it, so when I come with my perspective, as far as you know what I'm saying, speaking on the black experience, because I teach at the all black school. You know you get those oh, that's oh my elaborate. Well, you know what I'm saying. That's an interesting take and I'll be like, yeah, it is, you know what I'm saying. So it's just you know what I'm saying. Getting them to understand that you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:I do what I do, but they understand it once I get it all off. You know what I'm saying, but make sure they don't understand. So, as we talking right now, we got students walk in the classroom. So you know what I'm saying. Everybody coming to listen but, like I said, it's just getting my. Make sure that they understand my viewpoint and understanding that I wanna because I put it like this, my program is leading me, is gearing me to be a principal or superintendent, so I come from that perspective, but I come from that perspective of wanting to be the principal at the school that I am, and so you know what I'm saying. It's always a different perspective when we get to talking about reframing and stuff like that, cause it's just different. It's just different. But they love me, though. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Oh, Mr Cool, we love that thought.
Speaker 3:And sometimes you don't. You don't like. I mean, I don't take it like that, no more.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying Like are they laughing at me or with me? You know what I'm saying, like what you?
Speaker 3:what you chuckling for Cause I said something about my principal, so I mean it just gaining them understanding, but not not being sensitive. You know what I'm saying Understanding that they still come from, they still come from different backgrounds, and you know what I'm saying. They, they had a perspective for, like where they get it from. But I just make sure that I represent. You know what I'm saying. And don't and talk what my mama say. Don't talk like you know, damn fool. You better talk with some sense you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:So that's, that's how I get down with it. But they, they like how I'm rocking.
Speaker 1:That's what's up. That's what's up. Yeah, it's. It's crazy to just see that, like the path that are, like a lot of us are on, in general felt you know they have come from here, so like yeah, when we was growing up growing up coming through here and everything like that.
Speaker 1:Like, yeah, I ain't know who you want to, I didn't see teacher or I ain't see principal in you. You know, I knew you were going to do something dope. I mean, all of us, for the most part from our class, are doing something really, really dope and shit. You know, even the classes in the 2007 class from other schools, a lot of majority of us are really doing, you know, some dope stuff.
Speaker 1:So, you know it's? It's really dope to hear that like yeah, you know, this is the path I'm on. I'm looking at potentially being principal or or y'all. Y'all still got Dean. Yeah, we got Dean's, okay, yeah, yeah, you know, or Dean, or president, you know. Shout out to you know, mr Henderson, leigh Ann Henderson.
Speaker 3:But on the wall, right? Yeah, all on the wall. And shout out, and shout out Ms Olmsted, who the current president now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's, that's, that's really dope man and it's. And that just goes to show that it's never too late to like like he was joking when he was walking in, but pivot, oh yeah. So you know, you may think you have one idea for your life and then something else comes up and you're like no, you know, actually I'm going to go this way and that's cool and shit. You may stumble, you may have to start all over, you know, and things, things happen like that, you know. But you know you got to be kind of able to go with the ebbs and flows and things like that.
Speaker 3:I'm for sure, man, because I mean I still I ain't going to say I've been riding, I've been riding in COVID wave, but I mean ever since I've, because you were talking about the transition and the pivot like I just feel like ever since COVID happened, man, like I feel like everybody that had to, everybody that had to pivot, and I ain't going to say make different moves, but it just, it just woke me up to like, oh man, like it's going down.
Speaker 3:And then you know what I'm saying. Like I say, just different situations put you in their minds. So like man, like if I was, if I was there, it would be a change, or if I was there, because that's how, that's how it started getting to me. All right, man, so if I was, if I was at that school, if I was in that class, or if I was doing this, if I was doing that and I was just getting tired of hearing. I was just tired of hearing myself saying if I was, or if I did, or you know what I'm saying, the cut of wood of shit is so like you just make that shit happen. You feel what I'm saying. So that's, that's how I definitely feel about that. You know what I'm saying, right, but it's it's.
Speaker 3:It's an interesting thing, man, like being being up in this thing, like knowing how we was. You know what I'm saying. Like I'm, I'm more just on the on the reality tip with the students. You know what I'm saying, cause we've been here, so it's like I can, I can really get in their ass and they really know that I mean it, cause it's like I've been there. You know what I'm saying, especially for my athletes and all my people that be thinking like this gonna pop off and they're gonna pop off like I don't want to turn. Nobody dreams you can't never do that, but it's like you gotta, you gotta let people know the real deal, though. That's that's, that's my biggest thing Just letting people know the real man, cause like people be getting too caught up in that, in that Instagram TikTok stuff and thinking that's how life gonna be and I'm like boy, y'all gonna find out about three years. You feel what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:Real shit, cause it was a. It was Facebook for us, like this is Facebook for us back then. Oh, you know, it's a the old, it's a old nigga sighting out, but like it was Facebook for us back then, we, we had access to stuff the same way that I mean they born with it, they grew up with it or whatever, but we were right there at the the explosion of all that shit.
Speaker 1:And then you know, once we kind of got out of here and, you know, sprayed all wings and went out to the world, you know, hey, a lot, of, a lot of stuff was happening, you know.
Speaker 3:It's still. It's still be crazy that you know what I'm saying and when, like when people be saying like they be beefing and stuff on the TikTok, I'm like I remember when, back in old three or four, when people were beefing on Black Planet and Bebo and in my space, meet me at, meet me at Jamestown, speaking to Jamestown, you man, did you see that they, just they, they, well, they big, so they motherfucking down. But how you feel about that dog?
Speaker 1:So I was out there for for work last Tuesday or whatnot. So you know my job. I'm in, I'm in the communications public relations, and so we were doing a canvas of North County for some, some government stuff that's about to happen out there, and so you were part of the zoo.
Speaker 3:You were part of the zoo too.
Speaker 1:No, not the zoo stuff.
Speaker 3:Boy, how about you no?
Speaker 1:not the safari stuff.
Speaker 3:I'm about to say now, you, you ain't playing, you ain't talking, nobody dead man no, no, not the safari stuff we are doing something with trying to connect, making more user friendly for people who don't have cars, Put it that way without giving away too much.
Speaker 1:And so we were doing a canvas of old Jamestown. That's where Jamestown Mall is, and I was telling you know my co-worker, who's white, I'm like yo, like what you seeing now, like this used to be a hotspot, Like you had Northwest Plaza, which was, you know, you want to call it the, the, the, the Niggamall or whatever. And then you had Jamestown, where you go out there to get on the the new, new type chicks.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying? The County Niggamall, that was the County Niggamall.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like we're driving through that and it's just like I'm looking at it, you know nation and started taking over the parking lot, you know the buildings and stuff like that. And so I'm like, yeah, this used to be for the, for, like you know, for some of us that, like our folks weren't comfortable with us going to Northwest, we can go to Jamestown, you know, and get it. You know, get it cracking or whatever. Get on the same ones. Yeah, get on the same ones. I'm like, yeah, they go to this, whether the Dillard's was, or I think it might've been famous for it Look KB towing, look KB towing, look KB towing.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm?
Speaker 1:saying, I'm saying, you know what I'm saying the Foo.
Speaker 3:For a.
Speaker 1:Good, clers, nigga, all that shit. And so the movie theater. I done went to that movie theater plenty of times and to see it now is just like you know, they knocked down part of it and the rest of it is still kind of up, but it's just like, damn, like childhood memories are like, really you know, gone, like going to the mall for us was a thing, man, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Well, your mama wake you up at eight, especially for my people that live in the city, like that was a journey, though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like going to the mall to like actually hop down or something, was a thing you know, especially for us in high school it was more so the gallery. You know what I'm saying, because we, you know you, got a little bit more change. You know, you know, mugs had cars, so it was like we go to the gallery.
Speaker 3:You know we're going to kick it.
Speaker 1:They were like one step before you start going to West County Facts, facts, facts, facts. So you know, going up through there, up through old Jamestown, on on Limburg, essentially, it was like damn like looking at it and it's just like, yeah, a lot of memories I had in that mall and just that that location in general, cause, like you said, you would hop on the little county chicks out there and you'd be all up in seven hills and buried down and Hazel Hazel was central back there.
Speaker 3:Shout out to all the girls oh Shacklefoot.
Speaker 1:Oh, Shacklefoot, you know what?
Speaker 2:I'm saying, oh, they're about a mall, grease yeah.
Speaker 1:Like it was. It was all memories we were riding up through there and a lot of it still was the same. It was basically mainly the mall, though that's like wow bro, that's, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:So it's still crazy.
Speaker 1:When I go south on Limburg and you drive past where North West used to be. It's a government building now and then you got a gym and a pier, I think like a furniture store, and it's Popeyes and Chick-fil-A and all that stuff over there. You know what I'm saying. It's still crazy. I'm like yo, this used to be a mall. Like mugs used to come up here. You know for the Jays, when they drop or whatever, you go to a lark and shit like that.
Speaker 1:Oh no, you know what I'm saying Hop down bumper, cause they got stumped out up there and like all that type of stuff and it's just gone.
Speaker 3:They don't want to see none of the black kids be grateful, man. They didn't close, man, if y'all listening, they didn't close down the meals. They didn't close down Jamestown. They didn't close down North West Plaza, all the niggas malls. Facts. No, I'm saying only thing that's open right now is Galleria in Wins County. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:That was in the Galleria last Monday and it's sad bro Like I mean everything, you can get everything you need online now. So, like you know, the brick and mortar spots are dying or whatever, but like just walking through the Galleria, it used to be packed, it was a store everywhere. Now it's like this is closed. This is closed. The main thing that's keeping this open is like the food court. The food court, macy's, the Apple store you know what I'm saying? They moved Foot Locker 17 times. So it's like it's crazy, but that was childhood memories and it was like you said you go to West County when you really wanted to find some shit, put that shit on and then you go from there. But yeah, it's just like a lot of the childhood stuff that we have when we're growing up they don't have. Now they do something totally different.
Speaker 3:You know they hang out in totally different places. I'm going to go even left, man. I seen somebody post a picture on Facebook about my niggas from the science and they didn't retire my nigga T-Bone dog. They took that nigga head off. Man. They tell them they finna read. I was like what? I was hurt. I was hurt dog. You know what I mean. Time my mama took me to that motherfucking science center just so I can run downstairs and touch that little thing from my fucking. Get the Mm Like them up like that. When you touch that motherfucker, the head come down to you.
Speaker 1:You be like oh shit, that's about the mic.
Speaker 3:Like it's crazy, the childhood memories is definitely going. Man, Like it's what I got here. Man Shout out to the science center. Shout out to the science center dinosaurs.
Speaker 1:Man we had to momentarily stop recording because he had to do some teaching. Dude he's real quick.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, man, One of them kids, you know what I'm saying Be asking about stuff that don't need to be asked about. So you know we got to get them in check. But yeah, man, so I know, just before we came back on we was talking about traveling and stuff like that. So you know what I'm saying. How many times have you been to Vegas, dog?
Speaker 1:Oh, shit, this will be my second time in Vegas.
Speaker 3:You going to get your gamble on you going to get your shit on I don't know?
Speaker 1:bro, I'm not the Parley nigga. I'll keep it a buck. Bro. I'll get on the slots If I'm feeling real you know what I'm thinking with it. I might do Blackjack, you feel me, but for the most part, when I was there in 2018, I didn't get a go at all because all niggas was doing was kicking it and drinking that city that don't sleep.
Speaker 1:Shit is for real. You know what I'm saying. I'm pretty sure a lot of y'all have been to Vegas and listening to that. But yeah, we went out and we walked back to our room. It was 4 or 5 in the morning and shit was still popping. You know what I'm saying. So it depends on how I feel. I ain't going to be out there too long, though. It's a quick in and out going to see Mr Raymond performing shit.
Speaker 3:Niggas man how much them take. I ain't going to lie just because we speaking live, we talking about us and this whole bunch of shit to go with that. But watch your gill man, how much them tickets are called, because I know he posted for my birthday because it's Scorpio season. He posted to be in Vegas like the 22nd, like right before Thanksgiving. Is them tickets breaking?
Speaker 1:Breaking leagues. I was when I looked at the ticket. So originally the group I'm going with we were supposed to go in June or July Niggas 12 to two racks, just for the ticket.
Speaker 3:But Y'all right there.
Speaker 1:Nah, we didn't spend that much.
Speaker 3:Two racks. You got the. That sound like the situation God damn we just singing to the girl.
Speaker 1:All right, that went in right there where he can steal your bitch. You know what I'm saying, but that was just regular tickets in the venue, or whatever. The trick what we found out, though, is to buy the package. So the MGM got a package where you get your room and you take it together.
Speaker 1:Oh well, yeah, yeah, yeah so we was like shit, that's putting the dent in Niggas' pockets. Why don't we just go four or five months out? Do the package you get a room, your ticket to the show, access to the club shit, the after party shit and you get some complimentary drink.
Speaker 3:I'm not just yeah, yeah, yeah, so like.
Speaker 1:But yeah, that was cheaper than buying a fucking ticket.
Speaker 3:Then the air Two months out. You know what I'm saying yeah, yeah, yeah, so you be on the streets. So it wasn't too, crazy bro.
Speaker 2:You know, it's all about you playing shit.
Speaker 1:It's all about playing in the head of time. So, yeah, man, I'm going to be out there going wild, going crazy a little bit and bring my ass right back.
Speaker 3:So, speaking about stealing your bitch I know this sound like I'm in a view man what? Because I mean this Jada Pickenship been going on so long, dawg, you know. You know we've been in these streets out in the game. We ain't in the streets, no more, but just had to let that know, just in case it's a lady out there that's interested. But how do you feel about all this new shit that she keep doing?
Speaker 3:Dawg, Like I be trying to ignore it, man. But it's just like every time I try to ignore it, I get a text from somebody. I get a text from somebody talking about what you think about this. Or I get a text from somebody talking about what you think about that, like this new little stuff. When she talking about they, I guess they weren't even together when shit was popping off, like now she about to drop that book and shit Like, ah, now I look like I know that all publicity you know what I'm saying, what they say Good, all All publicity could be good publicity, but it's just like damn shawty, like why you got to do all that. I just want Will to just come out one time and be like look man, I was fucking with about five hoes too. You know what I'm saying. I know Jady was fucking on all scene. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:But y'all didn't see what I had, yeah, so I made a status about it. So my thing is I don't want to hear about none of that shit if I'm keeping it a bug. I don't want to hear from Will because that's what some people came onto my status I made on Facebook and said you read Will, but he talked about being cheating in the book. Like I didn't want to fucking read it then.
Speaker 2:You know what?
Speaker 1:I'm saying so the whole red table talk and the bad marriage for life and all that corny ass shit, bro, like it's weird. But, at the same time, though, there was always been rumors about them having an open relationship and even potentially swinging. You know what I'm saying, so that has always been out there, which I'm pretty much like a straight lace nigger when it comes to relationships.
Speaker 3:Oh boy.
Speaker 1:I'm saying so like Meet you better, be with me, so I like it with somebody we locked in, you know, and ain't no switching up. You know what I'm saying. So, my shit, my love has conditions. Nigga, don't violate these two rules and we good, you know what I'm saying. But I'm tired of just hearing about it, bro. And so her being like oh, we're separated but you're not divorced. So she's trying to frame it like they're divorced but they're not divorced. What's fucking weird? Her, every time she fucking like she wished Will happy birthday this past year and then posted a fucking clip of Tupac and her fucking singing. I think parents don't understand. I wonder his songs and shit like that. Like just that dynamic with Tupac is fucking weird, regardless of how close y'all were, and shit like that. The fucking on your son friend was weird and you know. However, you trying to frame it.
Speaker 2:The bad marriage for life shit is weird.
Speaker 1:Man look Her. And then she flipped the script and was like, yeah, I'm never going to leave, will type shit. This is like yeah, bro, like everybody say, take us out to group chat bro, I don't want to own this. Shit is weird.
Speaker 3:I ain't even a nigga like me, I mean like adults gonna do what they do. But like you say, you mess with my son. You mess with my son, you fucking on my son, friend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we brought him in or whatever. And you start, you know, because he was going through some shit, and you start fucking on him, heal him.
Speaker 3:But then my, I ain't gonna lie to you, being the man that I am, the petty man that I am. If my daughter wrote a letter to a man that she ain't never met, that wasn't even alive when she was born, you write a letter to a nigga like that, you out the family, you ain't in the wheel, you ain't getting none of that. I'm gonna do her ass like Ghost did Tyreek on Power. You gotta wait 20 years till you get this money. You gotta make a full point. No, like I'm putting you through it All these stipulations, because what it's my kids?
Speaker 3:I mean I know it's entertainment, but that's a lot. It's weird.
Speaker 1:It's weird dog.
Speaker 3:And the only weird thing that it'd be for me is like a lot of it seemed like I ain't gonna say it seemed like, but I feel like a lot of shawters starting to adopt the mentality Because a lot of these shawters been loved out, they jumped in the love so early. Now they getting loved out and I done been approached by I ain't gonna say approached, but the idea of like motherfucking percent they would be in an open marriage type shit.
Speaker 1:I'm like nigga. What Now? I'm under my state of like. All right, if you know you ain't gonna be faithful, by all means. Like being a poly relationship staying in the streets or whatever.
Speaker 1:But on the flip side of that, I think being 100% transparent when it comes to the poly relationship or whatever, in the eyes of men it's like, yeah, we can have all the women we want, but that also means like your shortie or shorties can also get niggas too, and they get dangled, yeah, and that's. And it was like as far as your ego, you sure you're gonna be able to handle something like that and they be like nah, whatever. So I do believe like there is a space for Men or women who know they ain't gonna be faithful, to like operating this space where you have an understanding in your relationship, like, yeah, I'm gonna fuck on so-and-so, you can fuck on so-and-so, and me you can still be together. That ain't me. But like I do feel like there's a space for that to operate. But there's some to what you saying as far as like you know, unfortunately niggas then put women through too much shit, you know.
Speaker 3:Reverse.
Speaker 1:Reverse you know and like. Like not to say that like there ain't you know, there ain't no people out there that like do right by you.
Speaker 3:So you know, we know, we know it's good women out there, we know it's good women.
Speaker 1:I'm not, we not saying we not saying out there and all this other shit, you know. But on the flip side, you know Well, you know what that the pissy Piper say no way when a woman's fed up, right, hey, hey, they get back. You know, they get back is more calculated, you know. I'm saying so you sure you want to go down that road.
Speaker 3:But I guess, like how you feel now, cuz I feel like Like how brothers, how brothers would be saying like when the shawty beat, once the shawty ran through, definitely she wanted, you know, saying calm down, and stuff like that Like I feel like I ain't gonna say necessarily like us or like guys in general, but, like you said, far too reversal. I feel like now that guy guys are understanding like look, you know, I'm saying like these deep, like the street, I'm tired of the streets. Now I don't I'm gonna cut down from talking to five, five women and probably one or two now, but now it's like once I feel like not that the niggas want to settle down, the ladies is like shit nigga.
Speaker 1:It's like I'm just gonna be that dick, you know. But like that's all relative to cuz, like what's what's ran through, like you can fucking fuck on one person you like need for years that shit ran through. I'm like you, only know one body. Man you know. So how is that? How is that ran through, but it's um that's great.
Speaker 3:That's crazy in itself too, because a lot men, a lot men, a lot of the partners been having that type of conversation. Cuz I'm them type of conversations always pop up. They all be talking about body count.
Speaker 1:No, that shit, this big age, it don't really like I'm just more it don't, it don't.
Speaker 3:But I just always be like bitch. Don't put me in, no.
Speaker 1:I don't know, that's real shit.
Speaker 3:I don't want to be open to the honey black man gala.
Speaker 1:God damn, we sit next to a nigga that you fuck yesterday, like then you like hey, what's up, john, my, for me, my compass is like, as long as it ain't somebody that like I'm tight with you, know, I'm saying like these my niggas, like more than likely, if I'm serious about you or whatever, I'm bringing around Fuckers that I fuck with or whatever do you like, if it's any of these niggas, okay and we, you know we have to figure some shit out, but like I'm, statistically you and you could be potentially in the room with somebody you know, your he or she and Snick crack, so like so so like when they come, I guess, like when it come in, when it come to the niggas, do it matter?
Speaker 3:Do it matter if they only did it once, or like, is it the fact? That they like, say, like, say, say, like with me. Why can't say me, you, my a on my mama, real, real talk. I saw her a few weeks ago.
Speaker 3:I and I was like Damn, what a hell you been, cuz I told you she had moved out the country like China type shit. But no man, I don't know man, especially at the age we are now, like I'm I'm very open, I'm very open-minded and understand people, situations, but it's just like how you said man, like being in these streets and being the position in the positions I've been in, like I just feel like it's not embarrassed me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cuz you know, I know, you know Nick niggas a nigga, so a subliminally yeah yeah, that's the, that's the ego shit too, but like nobody wants to be embarrassed, so yeah, it's at this. At this big ass age I don't really fuck like I'm not discussing body count with nobody.
Speaker 3:No, hell, no, you don't, you don't, you don't want to get your feelings oh yeah and on top of that like why you know.
Speaker 1:I'm saying like, do you know? Do you know what the fuck you doing? All right, that's cool. Have you done it with any of these niggas? All right, no, I cool. Okay, if you did, I will.
Speaker 3:You know, I know, I know for me. I'm more at the point like, yeah, you pride, you pride in deals you do, but I'm more, I'm more concerned with who got your heart.
Speaker 3:You know, I'm saying cuz women, women can throw, throw that cootie out like handshakes. Now, no, I'm saying but that nigga, that nigga who they call the favorite, that nigga who you know, oh, it's even crazy. I was in, I was having class this morning with my freshman and no one of my juniors, one of my junior classes, and shawty was like shit, me, me and this dude ain't been together. Me and this dude ain't been together in two years.
Speaker 3:Mind you, she only a junior, I'm like damn Okay, that's D, so freshman, so freshman, junior. So she's like we ain't been together in two years but I will forever love him. She's like even it. She's like even if I get married. You know, I'm saying if the, if the, if the what they call this she before the marriage, the, um, the bachelor party or whatever. She's like if we had a bachelor party, I will go see him Before I get married, just to close that chapter.
Speaker 1:I was trying to tell them, the kids, when I was here, when I was speaking I'm like, bro, that little relationship shit, that shit is rare that she, if you, we, we, we graduated with somebody that basically found their forever person, why they went high school. That shit is rare, bro. That's why I was trying to tell them when I was here I'm like that relationship shit that you tripping off of, like that shit, no matter nigga. I had like four or five relationships when I was in high school, bro, like I was in a relationship freshman year. Every year I was a relationship somewhere here. I was in relationships junior, I don't think I was in a relationship my senior year or whatever but like nigga, I had Some type of somebody, I was dating or whatever, and we had breakups and shit. So actually someone and we actually never actually break, broke up, we just stopped talking.
Speaker 3:But man. But. So let me ask you this If they spend the block on your ass right now, how would you? Would you? Would you would you? Would you can take, would you would you can test it? Or would you be like now you got so many kids, or you, your body ain't right, no more, you don't, you don't even think the same, because a lot of Some shot has been lost.
Speaker 1:There's probably only like one from like that period of my time and I then came back around. I'll be like I cool, but that was like one of my, that was like my first serious relationship, though you know I'm saying so, um, that that you know, this is just hypothetically.
Speaker 3:Right. So if you listen in right now, it ain't gonna happen back.
Speaker 1:She damn you get we cool though. You know I'm saying so. Oh, but yeah, that was like my first series relationship. But any relationships after that, like college or anything like that, yeah, none of none of them could spend. Spend the block, bro, that's that shit dead. Go in for a reason. You know I'm saying so. But, yeah, but yeah, like I'm saying, I tell you students, I'm like, bro, that little shit like your students we're talking about, like this shit ain't gonna matter when she leave here. God.
Speaker 3:That shit ain't gonna that shit ain't gonna matter at all.
Speaker 1:You know I'm saying so, but that's crazy that she taking that stance as a Fucking junior right.
Speaker 3:I even think it like that serious about. I said how you think your husband feels like.
Speaker 2:I know that need to go do it.
Speaker 3:I was like damn I'm like don't nobody trust nobody, that's a, that's a, that's a big thing. Like I feel like in these days, like, oh, so let me ask you this. Being being like how you say I know we probably got a few more minutes left, being that a lot, of, a lot of women don't bend I ain't a lot of women have been Been loved out, how do you feel? Like brothers who like, like brothers like me, you know I'm saying who um about to be Transitioning I ain't gonna say transition in out the streets, but you understand what them, you understand the meaning of life.
Speaker 3:Now that makes sense. And it's like you trying to get, yeah, you got a mission like hot and you know you coming, you coming across a woman who then been loved out Not a foot of streets. I ain't let me not say Let me not, let me not say foot of streets, but they are. They are exploring the options at a high level, like how do you think a brother, how do you think a brother can, can, I guess, infiltrate and lay their love foundation with a motherfucker who feel like they've been loved? That?
Speaker 1:I mean it's so, like it's so. I always say this when it comes to like dating and shit, so Like shooting your shooting, your shot is a gamble. Regardless, you know, I'm saying you gonna. You gonna miss a majority of your shots, for sure. Some you gonna miss. There are some people out there who rarely miss. You know they. They successful when it comes to that you know, to that they pull life or whatever. But I mean, it's all about the intentions that you have and what intentions you're setting for it.
Speaker 1:You know, I'm saying so, and it's also about understanding when you know you need to like dip out Because you're wasting your time and you, like yo. I know for a fact what I'm offering in terms of, like, my role in a potential relationship. I know I can bring a lot, you know, to the, to the table and say, and shit like that.
Speaker 1:So you also got to know when it'll be. Like tap out, oh that shit. So like if you're trying to continuously break through this wall and motherfucking not budging, like yeah, like yeah, don't be, don't be a dumbass. Like yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna head out, oh, this person has this problem. Or they Talk down on themselves or maybe have self-esteem problems. I don't feel like they can be loved or whatever. Like it's not your responsibility to go and try and fix that person.
Speaker 1:You know, I'm saying like they gotta want to do that. Like you're sitting them, telling them to their face, like no, I think you're this, I think you the shit think you're beautiful. You know, I'm saying I think you're worthy of love, all that that shit and whatever. And they continuously just Knife and do that and shoot, shooting that shit down. All right, bro, like you don't even believe that you worthy of that shit. So why, yeah, why should I continue To? To continue to drive this point home and try to speak life until you, when you don't really, you're really trying to hear, it's falling on deaf here. Peace out and if it's coming, you know, statistically in terms of like.
Speaker 2:Men to women.
Speaker 1:The numbers isn't the men favorite. You know what I'm saying. So, like you go, you number wise statistically. Why are you gonna hit the jackpot somewhere, somewhere else, bro?
Speaker 1:You know, you know you get in, not to say we don't get caught up on the old women that we really want or whatever, but that's more so just a fixation, and you know you be lusting after a motherfucker, so you know it becomes An obsession at that point but like, yeah, there's only so much you can do. So, like if this person is not receptive to what you're saying and not wanting to to open up because you like you say they loved out and shit like that, like I'm good.
Speaker 3:Do you feel like um cuz I I know on my sit and I ain't gonna say in my situation, but just in general do you feel like it's um healthy for a guy to make sure that a woman understand that he can be snatched up by somebody else? Because I know I've been having conversations with a lot of OGs in their 40s and 50s and I know they've been telling me they feel like women been getting lazy and complacent in their relationship because they know that they got them and you know what I'm saying. Like I don't know, I just know in some situations I feel like women be feeling like you won't leave, just because you know what I'm saying. They done, did a little bit of this and did a little bit of that, like you chase me, type, shit, yeah, and I'd be like mom, maybe, like this equal opportunity now.
Speaker 1:Oh no, I mean, I'm speaking for me. I want somebody that I'm potentially pursuing on that type of level. I won't tell them that, like I got options, you know what I'm saying. Like I don't. I don't really see the need for that, but I'm also. The way I process things is like you know me and you may, me and a shorty may be dealing with each other or whatever. You know we're not exclusive or anything like that. In my mind, I still am assuming that, like you got niggas, you know what I'm saying, like, and so that helps me operate. You know this. This space I'm in, I'm also very upfront. Like you know, like I am dating, you know other people and things like that. You know if that's something you comfortable with, cool, you know we can rock out and we go where we go you know, do what adults do, as they say.
Speaker 1:If you're not cool with that, all right, cool, you know I can. I can bow out because I don't want to be in a situation where you getting in your chest about something because, like you feel like, because you don't operate that way, I have to operate that way. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So I put I try to put like all the cards out there on the table so like you won't get caught off guard and you come to me on some bullshit and you all have said then I kind of have to diffuse the situation because I really don't want to do that. But yeah, but there's a way to do that without being you know, a dickhead.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying, Without being like I got options. No, I'm a player, you know me.
Speaker 2:They owe me out here.
Speaker 1:Like you don't see me. Yeah, I don't think you really got to do all that. You know what I'm saying. So, yeah, that's, that's just just my opinion. Like, just be, you know, somewhat upfront with them about the situation. Let them and the big thing is always like you want to get a person the option to choose how they fuck with you.
Speaker 3:I'm definitely glad or appreciative of women. Now what? Let me put it like this I'm grateful for the women that keep it, that keep it a hundred. But I feel like women, I feel like women be putting putting they up front as far as like on social media, like I don't feel like some. I feel like some women let you know up like in person, but a lot of women edge to jump. They're just jump on Facebook Like they dating them, like they the player, player and I'd be like okay.
Speaker 1:I mean. A lot of that's both ways, though, cause like if I post something or share something, and you know you don't really. You don't really be moving like that you know what I'm saying you got all the house yeah. Which is, you know, you get with the chick, get with the nigga and be like yeah, this nigga ain't got no motion. You know what I'm saying. But like you make it seem like this way, you get with the chick and be like yo, this one fuckers nutty as hell, like yeah.
Speaker 3:Like you know, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm for the, I'm for the date of mall type girls. But then I'd be like, don't get mad when I date all your friends. You know what I'm saying. Like people be saying people be saying that, but I'll be like dude, are you really? You really about that? You gon I'm. I'm my date of mall, that's. That's cool Facts. But shit, I'm a date of mall.
Speaker 1:I mean it's yeah.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 3:I feel, I just I also feel like, before we get up out of here, like, I feel like a lot, of, a lot of shawty's, they're probably like. They're probably like we didn't deal with in the past, Like these hoes starting to make pacts and friends, Like these, like these motherfuckers starting to become friends and you be like you're like, what the hell I mean? But we in a small, I don't know, we in a small to medium size town.
Speaker 1:Like y'all, y'all kicking it, y'all friends, like y'all really. Oh yeah, there have been times where I've been, you know, with a, you know be up in my key like what you know, moved on to the situation and, you know, start dealing with somebody else and look up and be like, damn, they fucking know each other.
Speaker 3:Oh shit, like they show up to the function together, you go. Oh yeah, I mean yeah, man oh, it can happen.
Speaker 1:It can happen, you know, but again it can't. Can't say too much. You can't say I ain't keeping a buck with you. And on top of that, like you never, in that particular scenario, you never presented it like this this chick was like your best friend or something. It's like y'all just occasionally go out so like it's like, okay, but shit happens, bro, shit happens. That's what you realize as you get older too. You be like yeah you ain't lying. It is what it is.
Speaker 3:You ain't lying dawg man.
