You are listening to the cubby podcast. Hi, Ron Lewis.[inaudible]

Speaker 2 0:36

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Tyrone Lewis. I am a black American born in Jamaica to two black Jamaican growing up in long Island, New York. I am the age o f 31 years old, and I have experienced a lot more than most people h as r ealized I'm doing this solo podcast. Just to leave some thoughts that I have for these times, going through not only have we experienced a mass pandemic in the recent months, we have become oversaturated with crime, bigotry, discrimination and b rute force t hrough our community. I'm not just speaking about black people. I'm not just speaking about disenfranchised people. I'm not speaking to those shade on anybody. That is not a part of this community, because I believe all that are a part of the human race are impacted by this up time. Le t's j ust be honest, right? I'm a joke, a j oke al ive, and I have to speak freely because that's just what I do to be quite fr ankly, honest with you. I'm not doing a podcast for pure amusement. I'm not doing a podcast for pure a claim. I'm doing this as a release, and I'm fortunate enough to have a platform where I've invested in myself as though, as a person to speak my mind. Some of these things, I'm not going to be light. Some of these things are not going to be accepted, but whatever I do say today should be listened to. Right? I don't believe that the human nature is completely law. I believe that we are participating in a circle of confusion that has been brought upon us since day one. Anytime you have people that hold some sort of significant power, they are going to try to economically or politically socially impress others. I t's just human nature to try to do so, but it is also human nature to fight for the r ight of your family. And I think it has to be boiled down to the simplest fact that you protect those that you love. Everybody's not bad. Everybody is not up, but in a group of people or even on a team, m an, if you have somebody that is being bullied, or if you have somebody that is being thrown to the wayside, it is your job to stand up for them. And if you don't y ou're, right? So who's in th is s ituation. If you really think about it, my quote in life is don't be. That's always been my quote. Now you are listening to the cu bby, u h, a nd this is your host T Lo u T Lo u d o what to do. We haven't had some time to talk to anybody because not only ou r l ife's obstacle comes in your wa ys. Wh at t h ere b een a lot of just focus that needs to be given to this pl atform, u h, a r e n ot amateurs. We know what it takes to communicate effectively to others, but being that we are podcasts, uh, things go up and down. So I just want to shout out the cubby cast members, the great Gambino, Ken and Jay Thomas JWC, GP music, world Temodar studio. You gave us a shot in order to be professional. I want to shout out, um, that'd be one that has been a ffected. So I currently live in Irvine, California, which is a suburb of Southern California in orange County, which is trust me when I tell you the Truman sh ow, I live amongst those that are af fluent. Those that have risen to the top of their industry. And I sit next to a pool with on no urish p lants that I to m ake into something. So me being in the thick of this, like I was growing up, isn't a thing. So I have a different perspective on a lot of these different things. I think a lot of people sweep things under the rug if it's not impacted to them on their daily basis. And I think that's majority wa s w rong with white Am erica. Do es i t impact you? You watch it on television and it's e ntertainment and you go about your day. I interact with others that see it as entertainment. Therefore I am entertainment. And when I do speak, it's more of a fleeting thought. The big difference between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, was this any means necessary now is at that time for this, I'm not sure, man, are you going to go up and

Speaker 3 5:58

Loop and you know, tear down the infrastructure that helps pay your bills? I don't really understand the point of that, but I do understand the point of showing frustration. I do understand the point of pushing through until you heard I'm the youngest of two. I had a single mom and my whole big difficulty in life was being heard s traight out the gate. That's all the seven m inute am I heard. And I think that's what the minorities o f these country has to go through. W e're only 30% of the population. I'm sorry, 13% of the population. Somebody please correct me. That is drastically different in terms of how this country is directed towards, u h, influence, right? Majority sets, the tone minority makes change. T hat's a law of fact. T here's nothing more greater than that. So I decided, u h, as the host of the C ovey being that we've been on this w hole for last year, I think October that's when, yo u k n ow, we decided to kind of give it some breaks, a couple of the cast members, they moved away and it was left to t h e t hree. I mean he goes GP music, world, Ja y d ub, deuces, and myself to L ou Lou do what to do. Th e c u bby w as a safe space for all of us to express ourselves. And I think that's, what's most important right now having a safe space to express yourself, talk to somebody. I just had a conversation with a therapist. I just started utilizing a couple of w eeks ago. And the first question he as ked m e was, is there anything you want to say about this, this time, this period. And I im mediately s aid, yeah. What I was coming from a place of anger because I'm not, I'm not thinking things through. And I think when you come from a place of emotion, the thought process goes away. You always want to react. You always want to put forth our effort. And that is the most justifiable thing to do. But when you do act off of emotion, you have to also back it up with continued support. You can't be so fleeting out here in these times, man. And I'm telling you, I'm gonna say some things that y'all don't want to hit with too fad. Ecentric man. That's the only thing difference between the black lives matter movement and the civil rights movement. It was commitment and steadiness of family. Where are we at? Where are we really? I don't think we really about this life normal. And once again, welcome to the cubby. It's a safe space for all of us to speak, but I woke up today and I saw blackout Tuesday. And at first I was just like, yo, that doesn't make any sense. Why would we silence ourselves in order to make a statement? That don't work. What do you think you t ake money out of p eople's pockets t hat may affect that you posted one time an d y ou add in mu ltimillion d ollars th at o u r c o mpany d o you realize th at t here's no getting away from that only thing you really co uld d o is plug out completely. And we all go sit in a park. And if you wer en't si tting in a park, bring a blanket. Cause I'm which I love par ks. I just don't like that six o'clock breed, but there are certain things that I don't, I don't like that we do. The re's a hundred percent of the things that I don't like to do. One it b ei ng fat is c en t ric to i s trying to profit, tear off a struggle. And that's capitalism. Any tragedy that's ever havi ng has to be boug ht wit h busi ness. Th at's just how it is. And if you don't believe me, then you don't know what the hell you' re tal king about. You really don't. So I just wanted to come and speak my mind because I am offered this opportunity to do so. We put in the groundwork in order to make that happen. And hopefully, uh, you are able to speak to some money as well. But this is mine. This is my therapy, man. If I get in front of a mic, I can say and do anything I want. I could be funny.[inaudible] look at my feet. Doesn't really look at me or I could be serious. 2020 is over. I don't know why more people don't accept that you ain't going outside. You ain't going outside. We opened up about a week ago out here in California. So I went to the beach and I saw a lot of people out on the beach. You know, the few, the few daredevils was out there getting sun and touching their face. Few daredevils, 2020 is over man, especially in major cities, New York, LA. I was out here in the beach with pale trying to get sun because that's all, that's the only thing they know what to do on the weekend. That's the life I'm living right now.. So I t ried to stay focused with this cubby p ocket. And if you guys don't know what the c ubby is, it was a space of five black men in corporate America just to share their thoughts and feelings and what a perfect opportunity to do that in a niche market where you understand that I'm just like you, whether you a re in New York and you don't got nothing and y ou struggling to try to take the bus and you a in't got bus money. So you g ot t o ask the man behind you like, yo, you c an spare that. I'm coming from that to a place where I'm seeing more money exchange, different people hands, and I've ever understood in my life and a lot of different political landscapes that I have to mind in order to not get kicked out. That's my greatest fear. That's what people got to understand. The black people's greatest fear is not being able to live the way they want to live in fear of being ostracized within the community and outside the community. Being canceled. As a thing being talked about behind your back is a thing not being able to do your work because of external pressures that you have to live up to as a minority is a thing it's tangible. So support wherever you can support, do whatever you can do listen to as many podcasts as you can. I was listening to the Joe Rogan podcast, which is one of my favorite podcasts. U h, the guy next door is another one of my favorite podcasts that I like to listen to. Um, a nd the things that I want to mention just solely, ri ght? I could talk forever. This ain't a problem with me, but the things I really wa nt t o m ention solely was this. I p rotect ourselves, stay with your family. I have this huge thing about my family, my family, yo u k n ow, an d m e is, is sort of difficult for me because of just different experiences I h ad in my life. But I do want to say family is everything and your family right now is everyone that experiences anything that you experienced on a da y-to-day b asis. If you see somebody on the street and th ey're s truggling to s upport that man or woman, if you see somebody that is going through it, mentally hit th em u p. Yo, what's up, baby. You good? Cause you have to understand that that man or that woman can not be at a mom. And that's been my big thing, man. I'm a big outreach person, but I had to really take some time for myself and kind of understand that it's not just about what you make or what you give or who you are actually is what the impact is to the community. And I'm being real serious. I joke around a lot. What I've struggled with mental health, probably all my life, not being accepted, not making the right decisions, traveling, being alone, being a part of rooms or situations that I wasn't even capable of dealing with. But I pushed through because I felt like I needed to. There was nothing to go back to. That has a toll on me, which with Jimmy, anybody that starts something to speak out towards some money else has something up w ith h im. Let's be honest. And we all have, it h ad been w anting to speak u p. I thing that I really did want to mention is that support your supporters. You know what I mean? Like everybody is not out to get you. Believe it or not. There are some people out there that are there to support. You, put you in places where they've been the greatest thing that you can have in life. For two things, one, a mother to our grandparents because they mo ther's k icked out and their gra ndparents ki cked in and they've seen it. Everything is cyclical. That's why the greatest thing they say, it'l l be okay by you beca use it will be some will rise tomorrow. Some will rise tomorrow. The sun will rise them up. Take care of others, support your supporters. And be honest. I've loud. A majority of my life only to protect myself, messed up relationships that I've had a messed up business. It's messed up friendships. I'll throw that in the relationships because that's just gender. But what I can really say is the moment that I turned to be honest is the moment that I realized what was moment that I realized who everyone else is too. We're all on this ever ending wheel of frustration. Everybody is, you're frustrated at your wife. You frustrated at your girl, you frustrated at your man. You frustrated at your husband. You frustrated at your boss. You frustrated everybody frustrated, man. A nd that's the problem with capitalism is frustration. the money. It's f rustration, everybody frustrated. And ho w many more, how to make an up, w ho got my mom wh o got their hand in my pocket, thei r fru stration, man. What was I saying? The three things that I really want everybody to take focus on one deck. So to support your suppo rters, we chat into someb odies. Hey, I don't know how I forgot the word. Hey, I'll be doing this all day. To be honest with you, anybody could call me. We can speak on a podcast. Now I'm four nine three zero eight nine three one nine. Once again, that's(949) 308-9319. A nd we c ould just talk about just the that we go through on a daily basis. As human beings promise you, I'll chime you in and we can speak. We c a n d iscuss, she'll be typed ou t, bu t I'm doing this all day for those that, u h, n eed to at least have some time to themselves and all that, what are we g oing to do? What are the action items to move forward, right? Is this blackout Tuesday? That's cool. We can all do that. But what's the, what's the, what's the initial point. I think I read somewhere. How May 31st, 30, 40, 60, 80, 90. You know, one of those times ago where t he p icture i s black and white i n h is small Letterman, because i t came from a newspaper black wall street burned down o r w ere you going to make another black wall street? What's up? What are we really doing i t? I keep trying to say this. Are we really about this life? I'm not trying to promote violence. But back in the day, politicians or people that were not inclusive or did not support your i deals, you know what we did, we stepped to t hem. Some people got assassinated. I'm just speaking. F AC others. We banded together, became a political party. There was a civil rights movement. What are we doing? Now? We t wo f a d c e ntric, bro. Somebody dies in the mall, you know, rip George Floyd, rip hundreds of others, man. Th at's n ot even telling th em. It's just, th ey p ick them out of a hat for us to say, okay, let's go ahead an d, and March on these, this, this is the one hea t. And before, you know, when basketball come back on, we good. We got our stimulus check. We good? What do we want? What are we doing? Who are we putting in? All of it. We had a man named Donald Trump. That's in office right now. And believe it or not. I think he's the best thing for America. Yes. Set it. I think he's the best thing for America. Got a great philosopher named Rick Ross said it best. You got to destroy it before you elevate. And I think that's important. I think that's why I need them. One o f the most important things that we can do destroy i t before we elephant. I'm being honest. I'm not even that frustrated because I'm, um, I'm immune to the fact of the cycle of destruction, revolution, acceptance. It happens every single time. And if we really want to change, we can't black out Tuesday or on media. We can't even vote somebody in office. That's giving away power and people are fickle. People are impressionable. That one person that you have in mind can be sweet. I promise you, give t hem God, give him or her God give t hem away and trust that person. And then y ou'll have your best outcome. But as a people, we got to stand not United. We g ot t o stand concrete in our ideals. It's really simple, but it's hard to get a mass group of people on the same p age. I t's the most thing in t he w orld point taken to be a leader of anything is probably the one in t he most. AM STAR l et's be honest. The second hardest job. First hardest job is to be a mom. Second hardest jo bs t o be a leader of men and women. Are you crazy? You have to be a guy can't make no mistakes. Ca n't h ave no feelings. And even God had a family. Jesus, Mary, a buyer needs support. So support your supporters and protect us up. I was coming up with a third thing. And the third thing that I had written down got a little water on my paper. So I got to come up with be resolute. Don't nobody respect you. If you sweet. Don't nobody respect you. If you're not consistent, are we consistent? Come on. Now. Are people in general, consistent, no people follow what they feel will benefit their lives and that opinion or that stance can change. So no, we are not consistent. You're not consistent at all. Read Malcolm X, man. Read some excerpts from dr. Martin Luther King. Read some, some, some pieces that you may not even think. Marcus Garvey, Booker T Washington and all these people that we learned when he was in late middle school and high school. We usually hear that cool book. I don't like it. Hat and Booker T watch down. No he and agriculture. He ended it a Derrick I'm about that, man. These are the principles that they were talking about hundreds of years ago. My G and we still in the same thing. So I didn't really want to make is too much of a personal attack from my experiences on the others. I just really wanted to connect with the people today in order to push forward. This is my own little director's cut. I'm going to be doing this three times today in the morning, afternoon, evening, just dropping them raw raw language hit me up(949) 308-9319. Hey T I won't talk about it. Hey T what's up, babe? Hey T what's going on? Hey, T I want to vent. Hey T. Well, it's yellow now, b ut N avajo n ine three zero eight nine three one. No w g i ve m e i t. I do believe comedy is the best medicine is medicine. If you guys ever heard this podcast before, my m y love is love. Statement is a lways, comedy is life. Life is comedy is c omedy life. You go t t o l augh and comedy has to be the all time high right now. I r e spect t h e D ave Chappelle's for going out there and making it s tands for respect to George, for having a different perspective on a lot of different things, respectfully, the great ones, Carmichael. He's a good one. Y'all should listen to him. I want to know his take on all this too. I want to know his take on all this too. He's a real good one. Nice, g ood young one. Bill Cosby an d t he face looking. And, b ut he got ideals, man, and he' s ro ar any. A nd he puts out his, his point of view. I'm so glad tha t th at we were able to construct a platform to speak and be a part of the community was, is im portant. A lot of people, they may have the visuals. A lot of people may have the, the appeal. They may know how to grow a ban d, b ut if you don't know how to speak to people and communicate effectively, your thoughts, feelings, your point of view, I don't know how you make change. I've been blessed with the gift of communication and I am so happy for it. It is going to take me to places that I don't even know exists right now. Communication took me to Disneyland. One time, real. I was just out. I ain' t kno w where the I was loves. And anyhow, and I talked my way in the m oth e r Disn ey land. Ain' t paid for the enough, all s traight off the back of communicating. What's your gift rely on that gift. Everything else doesn't matter. And I got caught up in that too. The pressures of Aw, man, I gotta, I gotta stay here. Ah, man, I can't lose this. Aw man, what am I doing? Weighs you down, man. It'll have you balled and bearded as a woman, we will shed the stress of keeping up with the things that you obtain and not just the things that you deserve. It's a real attribute. It's a real cause. It's a real thing. So on this blackout Tuesday, yeah, you don't have to give any sort of support to those that you feel are demeaning. You as a human being, but give support into your community. This is a podcast derived from five black men in corporate America, sharing their point of views from all walks of the country. Like I said, I'm from New York, man. I grew up on long Island. I'm 31 years old. I've experienced more than most people have went to school in upstate New York, SUNY Albany UA, you know, made my way down to Texas, the Texas, a and M

Speaker 2 26:45

I'm mountain, California, Irvine, man, everybody, California, bro, working for a company that makes money, hand over f oot. My perspective is different, but I still understand where I came from. I still understand what it is to eat beef and rice. And if you don't know what bully beef is, I'm sorry. Some of y'all call it. Corn. Beef will be beef and rice man, staying up late at night. Wondering how the hell I'm g onna m ake i t in the school or how the hell d id w e get there? So I don't even know if there is an end, t here shouldn't be an end. Continuous improvement does not end. It's a journey. It's not a destination. I just needed to lay out my thoughts as we go through this. Um, we haven't taken anything. We haven't really done anything consistent for some time and it's gonna to stay like that. Like I don't, I don't think there is anything, um, to benefit from others. Tragedy. Only thing that we can do is talk. That's why I'm just having this out where we can have conversations. If you can put it out and then you can talk about different topics or those three things. I just mentioned, protect yourself, support your supporters and be resolute. I want to talk about that. I want to talk about that innocence. I want to talk about how we are not actively doing what the we need to do. We need to have meetings o f legit m eaning. A nd I'm not saying that we don't, right? I'm not saying that some parts of Chicago, some parts of New York, some parts of LA, some parts of Nebraska, some parts of Wisconsin, li ke t h ere's b a d p eople in Wisconsin, but it can't just be only black people. I think we need to start out like that. Shorty once told me like, yo, we need to leave. Uh, it was Periscope and I, and I, and I disagreed, man. I think any challenge or conflict that you run away from follows you. So we have to learn ways to deal with the problem. Confront the problem, take a long-term approach to an issue that we haven't and then leave. There's some, t here's a nice place in L ang Sierra Leone, all i nvest a l ittle, everybody put up$10,000 right now everybody put up 10,000 h ours. L ike I'm g onna have a Kanye moment, everybody[ inaudible] a nd t he r esidents h ere, we g ood. Somebody said it. Y ep. I don't even know Sierra L eon Cola. I don't know what the, I don't even know nothing about Sierra Leone, but I do need to, but I do know that we need to do a lot more than this f addist centric way of doing things. Just because you post something don't mean you about that life. And we need to support the community no matter what that looks on it. If everybody want to go black, let's go black. If everybody want to go out here in these streets, then we are here in the streets, whatever looks like, but we gotta be unified on that front. We can't be swayed in our approach because that sway is going to lead to, I don't know if y'all ever pledged, but there's this big thing about breaking the law. Huge thing about bringing along someone come in between your line that's life or death for you. And I think we, at that point, uh, just as a, just as a community with the support is that we, uh, um, the people aren't bad. The institution that allows for the power trips are bad facts, man. And how do you break city hall as a minority in Passy blade? What you can do. It's put energy in yourself and say, c ity, whole lot of contradicting thoughts, a whole lot of things that, you know, like I said, people may or may not agree with. And that's fine. I don't think we're here for t he, the total, u m, acceptance of things. But I do think a conversation was needed today. Just for media d irectors. K ind o f like I said, I'm going to be doing it all day. You call me up( 949) 308-9319. O nce again, that's nine four nine three zero eight nine three one. Now you call me up. You want to talk about it? We jump on, we do a podcast. Th at's s imple of f t he three pr inciples, protect yourself, support your supporter and be resolute. I w a nt t o t alk about a m an. And how do we do that in all walks of life, personal life, yo ur p rofessional life socially with your friends an d s ociety, 2020 is here and we s upposed to be voting right now. Are we doing it? We put no t t hat energy or are we just sitting on our hands getting slapped in the face by not supporting what you have? I do want to say this man, anytime, any other group tha t is ou tside of my cultural group wan ts so mething done. There's two things that they do unify and take it. If you ever hear any sort of group in school, what they've done. And like I said, African-American African studies. Wasn't given to me as much as a child. So I know there was a lot of conquests there, but I'm pretty sure Congress has happened in the Euro Eurasia. So the area for as long as I can freaking thinker. So if you have that basis of people and if they don't like something, they unify revolt and take it. And you're a peacemaker or you look for any sort of resolution that doesn't involve violence. Who's winning, bro. You bring in a knife to a gunfight. Come on, bro. I don't promote violence. That's not my thing. I don't accept the looting. COVID-19 just happened in most of these businesses that people are trying to terrorize from my interpretation when I got, you know, they just get back on the feet. Our economy is boosting up. Like anybody ever think like this is propaganda in a sense of, you know, distracting us from the fact that we just had a pandemic that kept inside for 60 days. And what they do is they go and they know the one thing that's going to take our mind off of that is just to k ill black people. Like think of that approach just as a compare, a c onspiracy theorist, be cause I'm a huge conspiracy th ere. It's l ike, I believe in Illuminati. So whatever credibility that gets me, I don't even gi ve f o ot l ike, this is just me. And this is why I decided to do this because it's just conversation. Wh en y ou have conversation with yourself, you're the one that ans wers. S o sorry you call me up though.(949) 308-9319. I h i t me up and um, y o u'll be able to have a conversation just like I'm having a conversation with you on the three basis of what I'm talking about. Protect yourself, support your sup porter an d be res olute. Everybody needs some time, man. Everybody needs some time. So I'm sitting here waiting for y'all who got the answers, sway who got the answers cause you don't our community leaders. Sorry. I just took a little break there in order to, um, think about some stuff, man. Think about what I want everybody to think about what they're going to do after the what's the, what's the point? What's the, where are we going? You know, I think that's a major question. Where are we going? I hate to say it, but I don't think it's going to lie. You're going to, I mean the summit, Hey, it's going to be a lot of shaking and, and, and, and continuous low fruit hanging picks on what's right. And what's wrong. Who's really, w ho's really about this. And I promise you 90% of y'all o n t hat. Like I said, back in the day, you know, after we marched and we s moothed i t and we made things happen, I figured the best thing t hat I could do for this approach is just speak my mind. I don't want it to go be going back to, I'm not asking for us to live a revolutionary life because that's a hard life, man. Think about it. I'm not asking us to do that. Not asking us to, you know, you need to have fun. You need to live your life problems, our problems, but are we really going to have that perfect balance of respect and peace and what that comes with? Think of it like this in a fight. The one that wins is the one that don't got nothing to lose. The one that really wins is no t the one that thinks that a family, that they got to go back home to think of the money that's in a h o c key thing at a close on n at ure on a ba c k. Most of the one that wins, they get their shir t ripped up and someone screens up. That's the one that wins. I'm just asking, what were you going to do a s quite frankly, S tephen s huts up. It's a long road, man. And I don't have all the answers. I d on't, I'm just speaking my mind. And that's a good thing about me b ecause I speak my mind obviously, right? And the people that I work with speak d ay M on t oo, once again, man, I'm g oing t o be doing this all day. So if you do want to have a conversation with me,(949) 308-9319. Once again, that's nine four nine three zero eight nine three one. I c a n c all in and we can have the conversation on t he three things that I did mention one, protecting yourself too, s upporting you r su p portive an d three being resolute. Yeah, man. That's, that's, that's typically the san ds th at I have a lot of different things hap pened to day. I understand it's a b l ackout Tuesday, you know, but you are getting information from all different sources. So don't think that should not. Uh, you do have the cubby cast here. Uh, you can contact us any way possible. I just gave you the number to dial in. If you do want to speak, um, I'm giving you an opportunity to just speak your mind on a platform that we have. You know, we, we created, it's not large, but it's a niche area we were doing well last year. Uh, then we took a break. Like I mentioned, a couple of other cast members. They did move away to support themselves, to protect themselves and to grow. And I wouldn't want it any other way. You have main grape and Beano he's in Orlando, Florida. Now it is managerial executive CEO level position. Yeah. Another member that graduated from law school took his bar, took some time, went back to his hometown of Detroit, Ken and Jay Thomas shut them out. And then we have, um, another member. He had his real estate license and he's doing big things. And uh, you know, me, I ain't doing just regular h omie. I'm just talking. I'm the t alker. So, u m, but I'm happy to be the glue on all that. And just took a stamp in time, u h, for us to all express ourselves as young black professionals in corporate America. And it's not even about that anymore. It's just about being a man s upporting h is community. And that's what I, that's what I love to do. T hat's w hat I tend to do. If y ou ever speak to me very genuine. I don't have, I don't, I don't care about most of the things people care about. I do care about communication i n it and u h, finding his, o ur own his or her own way. I'm, I'm huge on that. I'm not perfect. You know what I mean? Like I find out a couple of things this last couple of weeks that kind of hurt me. And you know, I put myself in a space with, you know, I isolated myself, uh, and we all do it, but it's how you stand up is that really matters. And during these times, but how you standing up, so who's standing up and if you short, you can stand up to just know don't stand next to the topper. Cause then you just look stupid, standing, standing like a middle of a field and shoot up. And that's how you look better, but it's, uh, it's important. So I figured I'll talk for, you know, a couple of minutes. I don't know how long it's been. I don't, I don't really have timetables on me and I speak or how I go about things. What it needed to be expressed in. It needed to be idolized. Everybody's either been stuck in the house was still going to work. So I'm going to say my, uh, my piece one more time, just make sure y'all understand that anything is possible. Anything freedom as possible. Oppression i s possible. Bigotry is possible. Overcoming is possible. U h, resolution is possible kindergarten at winning the 2008 NBA finals possible. So don't, don't take it as if w e're here to stay. I just want us to all realize that we're here to promote. What's moving on towards the future. This is just me speaking to you. L ike there hasn't been anybody else, just me having a conversation, wanting to have a conversation with you. A nd let's just say that I want to have a conversation with you about how you feel, where you at, what other things can be better. And who are you as a person and how are you supporting your family, protecting yourself, of course, supporting your supporters. And I'm sorry about that. Just had a moment to reflect on these things important, man, everything is important. That's just the way I look at it. So as a point of reference, um, hit us up is your host T Lou Teeley do what to do. Welcome to the cubby you have heard from me in the cubby. Hopefully we get to hear from some other people today about what they really want to do and, and, uh, where they're at. But this was important for me to say for 45 minutes, I do want to save, man. I love is love. In fact, talk about.
