SPEAKER_03 2:02

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_05 2:05

So we win. Yes, sir. There it is, man. So y'all, y'all already know, man, we we got something new going. Um it's gonna be kind of different. We're gonna see what everybody, you know, how they're feeding off of us, y'all. Um, with this um three the hard way podcast. I was sitting around one day and always when y'all on the Mr. and Mrs. Marshall podcast, we keep it going, we keep it entertaining. So I was like, man, I gotta get these two on and we gotta do it together. And you know, and just basically, you know, we're gonna come at people with correct, we're gonna talk about you know, issues, life, sports, because we all love sports. You know, as you see in the back of Mr. Dany, the greatest basketball player ever. I don't care what they say. Mike, LeBron, Cole, we love y'all, but magic is a man. Always. Yes, sir. So I don't know if you might disagree. Me and Yay, we magic men.

SPEAKER_02 3:08

I always love magic. He paused over there. But I'm you know, I always love magic too. We know what uh with old old black Jesus, or the old black ball heads over there. Yes, sir. I feel you, I feel you. That's why I hate it. I don't like that. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 3:33

But us real fans know who the GOAT is, though. You know what I'm saying? And I how I shut a lot of people up. I say, you tell me another NBA player that's got 12 other Hall of Famers in the NBA. It's magic. You know, we ain't know who Jamal Wilkes was, Michael Cole, Norm Nixon. We only knew Kareem Adouja Ba and James Word. Right, right, yeah. So Magic helped all of them do their thing.

SPEAKER_02 4:01

It ain't nothing like a Showtime Lakers, man.

SPEAKER_01 4:04

Nothing. Nobody. Yeah, man. He made it, yeah, he made that thing pop in LA. He made it pop.

SPEAKER_05 4:09

That's right. Speaking of Showtime LA, what you think about this new snowtime LA?

SPEAKER_01 4:16

Listen, man. Listen, man. Listen, dog. Look, when they was picking people up, and I'm saying, they trying to make this squad white. I mean, I was I was saying this way before Steve Nick came out. So I'm feeling like, now look, don't get me wrong. You know, I love Luca, I like Reeves, you know what I'm saying, but I'm saying you gotta have you gotta have some guys that can guard, man. And but like I said, it's it's the new owner, you know. You know, the bus telling they only got maybe like 10% of the franchise. You know what I'm saying? So he might be going in a different different direction or whatever, but we it's gonna be hard to guard, man. We're gonna have to score like 140 a game. Really, literally. You know what I mean? But unless they start really crazy, man, I'm gonna I'm still gonna rock with my purple and gold, but yeah, it needs some melanin up in that piece, though. Needs some melanin.

SPEAKER_05 5:08

Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_02 5:12

What'd you say, Eric? Look they're definitely Luca, Luca and Austin Reed can't guys up, and they lacking all that they get you, like you said, from that melanin. They they're missing that, like they purposely tried to make these Lakers white. I was like, what's going on, man? From from the coach on down, then what is happening?

SPEAKER_05 5:29

Yeah, yeah, man.

SPEAKER_03 5:32

We're gonna see.

SPEAKER_05 5:33

We're gonna see, man. I mean, I'm a Laker always, magic always gonna be, but you know, I'm I'm gonna roll with LeBron this year. I'm I'm gonna follow him to me.

SPEAKER_01 5:44

Well, we let them say something. I mean, they don't they don't have a squad. My whole thing is if they can, you know, if LeBron and healthy, they're just gonna put LeBron at the point. Let them do it. Because man, Maxi ain't no point. I I never say it was a point. He's a he's a scoring guard, you know what I mean? But yeah, this could yeah, this is gonna be if they stay healthy. If MB can give them 55 games, yeah, yeah, they're gonna be they're gonna be a tough out.

SPEAKER_05 6:10

Yeah, he the key. It's all about him, and I should he should be right now with LeBron and his people working on his body.

SPEAKER_03 6:17

Definitely, yeah. For real.

SPEAKER_02 6:19

If if Bronze can show you how to do it, yeah, you should definitely be with him right now. For real.

SPEAKER_05 6:26

It's gonna be interesting, man.

SPEAKER_02 6:28

Well, I think with LeBron, all the people around Embiid, they can you know kind of rest him a little more stable more for the playoffs. So he ain't got you know, cut his games down for having that run.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

Absolutely. Now, what what the Philly fans better not hope that if Embiid is playing consistently, he don't get this feeling that he ain't getting all them shots no more. Man, you got you got Jay Brown, you got Maxi. You know what I mean? So, dude, they gonna and they gotta get the ball to you. So as long as he realized hey, you got some other help, man, they they could be cool, but you never know, man, when you are alpha, you ain't trying to turn return to no beta, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 7:06

That's true.

SPEAKER_02 7:07

But I haven't seen or um Jalen Brown speak about it. I haven't seen MB or or um Jalen Brown speak on this when they got LeBron. So I don't know really how they feel. Jalen Brown, love it. I just watched it.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

Yeah, Maxie too. Yeah, now and now Edge Comb, yeah, he said it, but you know what? I think LeBron is smart enough because they put him to point to keep keep that young boy progressing. Because you know, he averaged 16 last year as a rookie.

SPEAKER_05 7:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:36

You know what I mean? So you don't you don't want to take a little bit of, you know, back see a little bit, but yeah, you don't want to lose him, you know what I mean? So but it's it's they're gonna be they're gonna be tough.

SPEAKER_05 7:47

That's true.

SPEAKER_02 7:50

I like him. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 7:51

Yep. So now now I gotta ask y'all, all those being from Michigan, what the hell are the Pistons doing?

SPEAKER_02 8:00

Man, they doing K just early. I don't know, I don't know what they're doing, man.

SPEAKER_01 8:05

They they acting like the Bulls. That's what they acting like. True, man. Hey, and see this here's the thing, man. When you got you got a guy like Cade, you gotta make sure to keep him straight because when that time up, he will bounce and leave the motor city. So yeah, I don't know. And I know Durin, he gotta realize, dude, you in the situation because they realize, you know, because in the playoffs, it's game by game. You ain't they can hone in whatever you don't do well, they're gonna make sure to force you to do that. And he kind of got exposed in the playoffs.

SPEAKER_05 8:40

Oh, yes, he did. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Plus the in the reef episode, uh you know that other man had his woman for real. So that mess with him, but yeah, he got to grow up.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

Hold up, hold up. Maybe I'm I'm I'm late. I'm late. Who had his woman?

SPEAKER_05 8:58

Oh boy from uh Orlando, oh boy, Carter. Yeah, uh Wendell, Wendell. Yeah, right, Wendell, Wendell Carter. Yeah, you're right, you're right. Remember, she came into the game in his jersey, made like a skirt.

SPEAKER_01 9:11

Yeah, you're right. Hey, man, what's crazy about that, Kev? All the chicks like that be on a carousel. It's like it's a certain group of girls, they just pretty much take take turns with, you know. And I mean, that's cool that you want to do, but when you you can't make that your woman, though, when you already know what it is.

SPEAKER_05 9:32

No, not when she being passed around like an alley. That's for real.

SPEAKER_01 9:39

But see, here's the thing, man. A lot of cats never had women though. So I mean, yeah, you could you could tell cats who hoop man listen. And that's why, yeah, the Lord knows He shouldn't have sent me to the league. Yeah, no one's happening. Well, I had paper too. Oh, I would have been lying. Hey, I would have you on the kill on the front row at the garden. I said, dude, we should have kick it out.

SPEAKER_05 10:12

Oh, and we've been crowning right with you, too. Yeah, we've been right there. You make a basket, I'm like Booty, I'm falling on the floor. For real. But but it's gonna be interesting though. You know, I I can't wait for the NBA. I mean, I'm ready for football now, but I can't wait to see what they're gonna do, man. You know, and I must say congrats to the Knicks. I love the way they play as a team and a unit. Yeah, um, I hate they let Robinson go though.

SPEAKER_01 10:39

Yeah, he was awesome. Man, listen, to Austin, and see that's the crazy, and Dolan said it right before the parade. I'm not going in the second April. You know what I'm saying? He's I said, dude, y'all got money anyway. Now that y'all won, but hey man, them pockets tight, man.

SPEAKER_05 10:58

SPEAKER_01 11:04

Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_05 11:04

Oh, yeah, they're gonna miss out.

SPEAKER_02 11:05

Absolutely, they're gonna miss the towns being fouled trouble so fast is always where you're gonna you know get the backing up.

SPEAKER_05 11:15

I I think them like the way Shaq said on the podcast one day. Shaq said he used to tell his backup, you ready? And he said, What you mean? And Shaq could get in the game and hit two quick files so he could sit down because he ain't want to play that night. So he might be that way, you know. It's gonna be interesting though, man. I'm I'm ready to see it though. See how things for real. Yeah. So yay, everybody know you you're the man with something every year podcast, man. What when we expecting a new season?

SPEAKER_01 11:48

Oh man, you know, definitely. Um, definitely more interviews, more more live shows. I usually pre-record more live shows and more of me, like I said, just talking. I'm gonna have to set day, but I might just come on some days because sometimes you can't hold stuff for a week, you know what I mean? I mean, I ain't gonna tell you something, man. The reason why I packed my stuff up because I knew I had to get up to move my other house, whatnot. So, because it was too much stuff happening. But I'm gonna I'm gonna recap early old stuff, man, from from the young brother Nolan, Mississippi to the to the Knicks, to the ignorant ass Trump. I mean, I'm hitting everything, man, but just trying to keep it light and skip things, people that interest me, you know what I'm saying, and try to um just just try to uh enlighten, man. Enlighten to have fun. That's that's all I'm trying to do.

SPEAKER_05 12:40

Yep, and that and that's what it is, too. I think I hit the wall with more than the coach for a minute, too. And I was trying to revamp and refine myself and do something. Of course, you know, me and the missus got the Mr. and Mrs. Marshall back, but this wedding kind of held us back. So at the next week, we'll be back live again. You know, we like the pre-records, but we like live because we like interacting.

I worked with his father for some years at Wolverine and knowing him, and I knew he came from a good man, so you know, in a good family. So I'm I'm happy, man. I'm excited for him. And like I just told him the other day, me and my wife took him to dinner, both of them, and I told her, I said, Y'all want your marriage to last. They was like, Yep. I said, keep everybody out your business, even though that's how you take it.

SPEAKER_02 15:50

Uh, you know, y'all family to me, so I I feel, you know, right now it's gonna be little something getting my feet wet, actually being in here hosting and stuff, you know what I'm saying? Just coming in, doing co-hosts. So, you know, it's I think it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be live. Like I said, y'all, y'all two of my brothers anyway. I've been knowing y'all like over half my life. So the comfortability level with us is great. Just gotta come ahead and get my feet wet, get in there.

SPEAKER_05 16:12

For real. We go all the way back. We got two Bronco guys. I don't know what y'all nickname was at Bronco.

SPEAKER_02 16:19

Uh Bronco, I forgot what he was. What was Bronco? Uh yeah, we did Will Green.

SPEAKER_01 16:28

With like 500 cheerleaders, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 16:32

Y'all did have all the cheerleaders as a group. Yeah, that is true. Yeah, hey, every class should have our four of them. Yeah, much of them, man. Yeah, them was the days, man. So this is gonna be cool, man. So hey, we can do this though. We can recap because we never did about our class reunion, our all class reunion, man. Yeah, you know, we can recap on that. How y'all felt about that, man? From this one we just had compared to the one we had a couple years ago.

SPEAKER_02 17:02

No, I I actually enjoyed this one we just had more because I think it was a little more intimate being in the gym instead of having to run across the field to catch people to see to catch up. Everybody was like right there. So I like that a whole lot better, man. You just write in the mix, right with everybody, so you can connect, reconnect with everybody right there and have a good time.

SPEAKER_05 17:20

For real.

SPEAKER_01 17:21

Yeah, exactly. You're right. You're right, because that's when it rained, you was able to see because the one year I came, man, it was people there that I didn't even know was there. And you know what's crazy? I even missed some people this year too, still. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, but just but like and I and I I told Tori, uh, so I that's that's my girl, man. But I said, hey, I gotta I gotta go. I said, whose baby was it as far as putting up the pictures? I said, this is me. I said, well, look at it. I said, um, this is team in 1989 that did win, and they pitching up on that mural, and I said, and I and uh Terry Jackson heard me. I said, you know, shout out to my boys in the classic 1990. They lost C Web and them in the championship. They should have won. They really did because they had, I mean, it was deep. But I said, y'all got them up there. I said, them niggas didn't win. But uh it's all good. But I was glad they had all the older guys in the 70s, and that I'm glad they had that picture of Sean, man. Yes, because Sean is like the most underrated star. Sean was a superstar. Yes, you know, I mean, Sean was a superstar for BB. So and it was glad that I'm glad he came out, man, and uh people showed him love because you know, I think a lot of times, you know, he gets underappreciated, but yeah, Sean was that dude for real.

SPEAKER_05 18:46

Yep, you know, and you and me both had Sean on our podcast as well. Well, you know what? I haven't I haven't had him yet. Oh, you haven't had him yet. No, but I'm on, I'm gonna get him off. Okay, because I know after my podcast with him, I reached out to a guy that does the um Saginaw Hall of Fame because that's one one thing that he's not in there, man. And that's not individually, he's not, and then this year he pushed for him. Mr. Nickelberry pushed for him hard, but he didn't get he didn't get in. So we're gonna when next time is up again, we're gonna push again. You know, I think he's very deserving of that, man. You know, we all know what mark was to Saginaw and BV. Absolutely, but you know, but Sean was right there, you know.

SPEAKER_01 19:37

Yeah, so there is no 86 championship without with a whole Sean. We ain't got no 86 championship without Sean.

SPEAKER_02 19:45

Nope, hands down. Well, Mark didn't even say, because he's definitely playing his ankle, right?

SPEAKER_01 19:51

Yeah, exactly. And he he put some things on on Derrick Coleman in the semis that we won in the championship, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, man, Sean, yeah, Sean did his thing. Just you know what, the world better be glad Sean won 6'9.

SPEAKER_05 20:05

Yeah, man, tell me about he was the real original of Sean Kemp for real, you know what I'm saying? That that's for sure, man. Yeah, yeah, it was good to see people giving him his love at the reunion, too. You know what I'm saying? Absolutely, and I kind of like that all reunion instead of just our class, yeah. You get everybody, man. Everybody, man. I was trying to put together a little clip of the video I had made, you know, but it would get in in due time. But man, I I really did enjoy that and looking forward to the next one.

SPEAKER_02 20:44

Oh, they don't know if they want in 2028, they got another one. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

Yeah, God will, I'll be at that one too.

SPEAKER_05 20:53

That's right, God's will, because you're right, because you don't always come back and you always we lose people, you know.

SPEAKER_01 21:00

Yeah, and it's just it's just great to see, man, because the school's closed, but that's small part, community, the greatness came out of that small part. 150 junior high, the greatness that came out of that, and the genuine relationships of people will be from whether it's pro athletes, whether it's superintendents, whether it's singers, whether it's so much came out of that little pocket, man. And forget the notorietal celebrity, just great people, man. Just great people, you know what I mean? So it's a it was it was a lovely thing. Lovely thing.

SPEAKER_02 21:37

It was all love there, too, man. Everybody too. It's just all love, none of that nonsense, trouble, and then just all love with everybody. It just really was a great time.

SPEAKER_05 21:46

Yep. And I'll be I'll be real with y'all. I don't even remember Friday night because I would I could lose Friday night.

SPEAKER_01 21:53

Somebody that's gonna stand up to me, not that not let me just, you know, I never wanted somebody I can control. I want somebody that's gonna stand up, tell me, you know what I'm saying, when I'm when I'm wrong or whatever, you know what I'm saying? And also I always wanted somebody that's uh a good mother, man, to to the kids. That's before I always wanted, you know what I'm saying. I want I I love somebody like that, that I like the way they love their children, man. Somebody that's you know, I know I know um always, you know, I know I always like when you're married, they say you um, you know, you want to come be supposed to come before the kids. You know what I'm saying? But always if I was seeing a woman and she wasn't a good mother to her kids, I I wouldn't um you gave birth. So I'll I'll I want you to just be that great mother to them.

SPEAKER_05 27:16

Yeah. That's true. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:20

Yeah, good keb. I'm gonna steal three of your four, man. Uh definitely respect, man. Um I heard my man say men hate disrespects more than they like coochie. Oh, oh yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_05 27:39

That's true.

SPEAKER_01 27:40

That's true. And yeah, so when I heard a brother say that, I said, yeah, that's that's true. So respect, definitely peace, man. I mean, working hard, come home, do all you gotta do, man. You don't want to come home and be in a combative situation, man. You want to be at peace in a place where you lay your head. You know, uh, gratitude, appreciation. Not that we gotta have a big banner for it, but just at least appreciating what I'm what I'm trying to do. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? So, and and that's for me, man, just as far as being my wife, and um, you gotta you gotta know the Lord, man. I'm I'm not saying you gotta be um first lady and say you gotta have a tambourine falling out all the time. I ain't saying that. But know who he is, acknowledge who he is, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm gonna I'm gonna need somebody to pray pray for me. You know what I mean? Because early on in my marriage, man, I was I was on board, I wasn't right. And I I truly believe my wife kept the covering over our house. She did, because it was it wasn't me. Well it should have been me, it should have been me. I should be the man to lead that charge. So for me, that's that's huge. There's some chick, they know you know growing up, we all mess with different chicks here and there, allegedly. So uh so I'm just saying, um then if you ain't somebody you ain't gonna really be with, you know, obviously those those things ain't gonna be as important. But as far as somebody who you're gonna be with, nah. But them them things I gotta have. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 29:16

That's true, man. And and you said it too, and as being black men, I think all of us got strong women that pray for us, not just for themselves, but they pray for us. You know, I never forget one time. I walked in my room, my wife created a little prayer closet, you know, and man, she was so in the prayer, it just stopped me in my tracks, bro. And then I heard I walked in a time when she was praying over me and for me. And man, I just sat there at the end of the bed and like, wow, it was amazing just to hear that. You know, somebody praying for my covering and for me to be, you know, taken care of and safe throughout the day. So you know, that was that was love and big to me, you know. So now when she goes in the prayer closet, I sneak in there and sit again and just listen, you know. So for real, though. Yeah, that's a that's a big thing.

SPEAKER_01 30:11

Shout out to Queen Joya, man. Shout out to Queen Joya.

SPEAKER_05 30:14

Oh yeah, oh yeah. She she would have been here in the studio, man, but she's getting ready for that wedding. So you know how that goes.

SPEAKER_01 30:21

Oh yeah, yeah, and you know, Kevin, keep keep your mouth closed that her and don't do it. Because yeah, they yeah, that's this this is a trying week.

SPEAKER_05 30:32

Man, for real.

SPEAKER_01 30:33

I'm sure they probably had some arguments already.

SPEAKER_05 30:37

Yeah, you know, that's why that's why I'm here in the studio by myself. Nobody can bother me. I make my peace.

SPEAKER_04 30:45

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_05 30:45

Yes, sir, yes, sir. Yep, but I'm I'm I'm ready for it though, man. And I and uh if anybody listening to us, I hope we say something that that maybe it's a young brother out there or a husband that's struggling, you know, and just sit back and sometimes just ask yourself and even ask her, you know, what did she want from you, or what is it that she looked for, right? You know what I'm saying? Just to help help their relationship out and better they self, you know, because we all different, we all feel different walks of life, and y'all know how it is, man.

SPEAKER_02 31:19

Yeah, you gotta realize the person that you with, um that you loved and you fell in love with 10 years ago, they can be different persons 10 years from that, so you're gonna want to learn and fall in love with that person all over again because they ain't gonna be the same person they was then. So you gotta change and regrow, you know, with that's true there.

SPEAKER_01 31:38

Yeah, you said something there, boy. You said you're right.

SPEAKER_03 31:41

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_01 31:42

Because like it's a lot of times men say, Man, she changed whether physically or whatever. I'm like, nigga, you have to. You ain't the same, you know, you know what I'm saying? So she gotta make a justice, but a lot of times women are more patient than then than we are. Well, I ain't gonna lie, way more. Because we wouldn't put up with half the stuff they put up for much, you know what I mean? Wow, but because man, listen, you know, I'm saying that's why I think you know the words say uh it's uh it's it's everybody got got their mansions, many mansions. I know my wife got a mansion just for dealing with me. Because yeah, I know I'm a piece of work. I know that.

SPEAKER_05 32:24

That's right. That's it, me too. And I tell mine every day, God ain't done working on me yet. Just keep being patient. Yeah, and she just give me that crazy look, like you know, I'm just glad ain't no lamp around.

SPEAKER_01 32:38

SPEAKER_02 32:54

I can't tighten them fast enough when I see that look, because I know when I see a good thing, right?

SPEAKER_05 32:59

And sometimes, sometimes I do it just to get a reaction out of because I know, and trust me, I ain't trying to mess up a good thing, but I will start some crap. I ain't gonna lie. Yes, uh, I will, you know.

SPEAKER_02 33:14

Actually, I'm gonna make a little video. AI might interview the lamps. What you think about the night in question? Joey Avery said about that lamp, boy. She can when she sees it, oh no.

SPEAKER_05 33:26

Man, that that lamp story was yeah, you had to see it though, bro.

SPEAKER_01 33:32

Wait, so let's come. Hold on, you gotta set this up. Okay, what was you on to get to that level? I mean, I I need to set this thing up. I need to see, I'm a I'm a I'm a visual creature.

And all of a sudden, I went in that living room, like, what's wrong, man? Words to words, and next thing I know, she got mad. I didn't even see my dog behind me when she grabbed the lamp, though. You know, she was finna hit me, bro. WWE lay him out, bro. I ain't have eyes in the back of my head. So how many girls was over there? Probably about three, but it was girls that hung round us, you know. It went like nobody was on no, yeah, you know, it wasn't none of them.

SPEAKER_01 35:19

Okay, well, I'm gonna go ahead and play the devil's advocate here because I almost like to say this is this is me. I don't know, maybe y'all might be different. I really didn't like hang, hang like that with girls, like I like to come round me of men unless I was on some of what my one my guys was on somebody that had to be trying to holler one of them chicks, man.

I said, maybe this dude be at this point. I'm still trying to find money. I'm skinny with a girl. I ain't got girls like that. I got girls by making people laugh, you know what I mean? So I said, Jody always you and you're cousin, pardon. Yeah, y'all had it. I'm like, so yeah. So I said, wait a minute, this little girl over there. I think he checked out the menu and said, Wait, am I gonna order or not? I know it's in your head. Okay, I'm glad you said that.

SPEAKER_05 37:04

But you know what, do ye? That's why, as freshmen, a lot of us didn't get along with it, because he was the ladies' man, yeah. He walked around with his little Jerry curl and this little Michael Jackson jacket, you know, because he had singers and stuff. Yeah, we just were freshmen, you know. But no, Jody, not Jody, Jody, and then when I went to the military, they had that damn Catens, Jody's got your girl in gone.

SPEAKER_01 38:13

Hey, it was like she about to hit him up.

SPEAKER_05 38:21

Put the babies on the couch and was ready to go to work.

SPEAKER_01 38:25

For real. But for her to do that though, for her to do that, she must have knew you had uh BS potential.

SPEAKER_02 38:36

Oh, yeah, because she used to be there when we saw the Copa when she met him.

SPEAKER_01 38:39

SPEAKER_01 39:19

Yeah, man. Yeah, you have to, man, because at the end of the day, man, you know, uh I mean, you can get the other girls, and it's it's cool to taste the capture and all that. But at the end of the day, what do it really mean? You don't get a chapter vote, you you don't get a ring, you can all you got is just stories. It's cool to sit around the fella, they you remember your old girl? You know, that's what's cool. That's that's that's what we do. But there's it's no substance, you know what I'm saying? And have them take them like if you got in the car and stand was paralyzed, which one of them brought gonna really be which? You know what I'm saying? You gotta start thinking that in terms of this is a little shout out for young guys in marriage or think about it. Ask your question that if you can't say, you know, you don't know if she really would be there, because it takes a special woman to do that. But like I tell people when people be like be praying for people sick, I say you pray for the the caretakers, you know what I'm saying? Because man, people it's it ain't for everybody, man. So if you ain't got a chick that's gonna do that, you better move around because life's gonna take you somewhere where you're gonna need that.

SPEAKER_02 40:29
