What happened brother? Apostle. Bishop. Apostle. Super intended. Super intended. Hey man. What up Craig Stingley? Salamon family. Alright.

DJ the protégé. He got the shades on. He's getting hot up in here. I know we're doing Hater Nation today, so you need to queue us up. All right. Hey, but let me just throw the hate off right now. Anybody going to see Nelly tonight? Yeah, I'm going to go see her. After last night? His politics is wrong, dude. I don't care nothing about that. There's going to be women out there. Stalker. All right. There's going to be ladies out there. Of course, he's there for the music.

Oh, man. If they let you in. Right. Right. Right. See, here we go. Here we go. They gonna let us in because of them, right? Yeah. It's gonna be tighter though. You know, but you know. Man, we gonna look like we can't aid you. They gonna have extra this and that because of that. No. Is Jermaine grown? As a fool. Is Jermaine grown? As a fool. I'm asking the question. Is Jermaine grown as a fool? So, he don't got nothing to worry about. Maybe.

No, maybe he looks like a dude that could cause oh, I will tell you Don't put my driver's license picture up cuz people gonna say I did it. Yeah, you know, some of us just look guilty

And a buddy said his daddy used to whoop him before he go to work. Because he knows he's going to mess up. You know he's going to mess up. You just take care of it first and get it reported. Catch him before the crime even happens. That's atrocious. Come on and get this work. That's atrocious. Oh, he knows it's child. He's not ready for you. I work with kids all my life. And I'm in parents' denial about your badass kids. You know.

Yeah, you know I got some stories about that. You know, I know you do. Man, speaking of kids, my daughter gave me got a call. She at work, son called and said he hear somebody upstairs. Oh my god. So, so she come home, she tell the son be quiet. She stand by our daughter's door. Kick the door in, boy in the room.

We just live in those days, man. Oh, it was somebody in the room? Yeah, with the 4TO. Dude got in, dude got the talk of crazy. Left out the house. I would have been talking. It was, it wasn't pretty. I would have been walking. I would have been like easing. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't pretty for her. It wasn't pretty for her. I bet it wasn't. Man, I was like, they going to call me? I said, uh.

That's what you get for taking us through that. That's all I have to say. What do you do when you've done all you can? Yeah. I know what's happening with his little lawsuit. What do you do when you've done all you can?

What's his lawsuit? What's his lawsuit? Sexual harassment. With a woman? No. Hold on. Wait, hold on. Don't answer that yet. So it was a it was a dude or was this a little boy? Don't answer that, Keith. Don't get yourself in no trouble. Ask the question again, brother. Was it a dude or a little boy?

We're not Eddie long in here Try not to kill the chaos I mean, I think there's another discussion too about

whether or not you put girls on birth control. Yeah. You know, and I think that that's the discussion because people say if I put it on birth control, put them on birth control, that means they're going to do it. No, they're doing it without birth control and the consequences are far greater. But some women use the birth control to control their menstrual. Right. Because it'd be so bad on them. Right.

that they can't take the pain and the crap and things like that. But I'm just saying because there was a statistic and I don't know how true it was about 60 to 70 percent of young people could have sex before they're 18. Yeah. So and then at the same time, you know, the teen birth rate, teen pregnancy rate is dropped. But I just think, you know, I want those people that and again, I don't have kids. But if, you know, I would just say, yeah, my daughter is going to go on birth control when she hits puberty.

Now there could be some long-term side effects. I mean, I don't know, but I think this idea that Is how we how we treat sex and Understand it as part of our humanity. Yeah, we just over exaggerate. Yeah, but you don't want as a young person You don't want your kid at the age of 13 14 15 16 having sex then because making those

decision. I could. Yeah, but guess what? When you was a kid, did you want it? Hold on. I understand it, but now, but now, but now that I'm a parent and now that I'm a parent, I have a daughter. Uh huh. Now that I'm a parent. Uh huh. I know what to look for. So, it's, it's my job. You don't think your parents knew what to look for when you was a kid? Listen, it's my job to put it out there and plant the seed.

That's all you can do. My parents planted the seed. And you still wanted it. Hold on. My parents planted the seed. And yes, I had to find out for myself. But I didn't know what I wanted until you got it. Well, you know, we live in a society that don't promote taking responsibility from the top down. Exactly. Then what else is there to do? Greg, he knew he wanted.

Some breasts, some thighs, some legs. He wasn't talking about no chicken. Because if you got my possibility that comes with it, then you're going to make a choice. When you're a teenager, you know your hormones is raging. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you don't know the or you don't you know, but you don't think about those consequences after the fact. But that's not to say that.

Many people parents don't educate them. It's plenty parents. That's told them. Hey, I'm not being no no no grandma. I'm a no grandfather at no early age Because because again DJ you have to understand this Whatever you are exposed to it's gonna peak your interest. So if you are exposed to the sexual Content if you're I'm telling you what it is if you see it because that's why the scripture tells you to guard

the gateway to your soul. Because if you see it in here, you can't unsee, you can't unhear. We got all dudes up in here. Let's talk about the biology. Well, the wind can blow. The wind can blow.

We got it. We got to accept the science, man. And because we don't have this conversation about the science, then we getting into, I don't want to be a grandparent. You wish and ain't a strategy. No, but Keith, you know, so I'm just saying, talk to your kids and then have them have a healthy outlook about sex, but sex ain't necessarily a proof that I love you. I mean, I mean, it's all these things that people are looking for and young people, especially, but look, man, when I was 13, so let me ask you 14.

So when you was in school and when you was in school and when you took sex education and they showed you those herpes bumps and they showed you syphilis and they showed you gonorrhea They showed it to you for a reason because they wanted you to see it because by you saying and it was gonna do some to your mind

And then you know the buy you having sex it's a possibility that you can get these lumps you can have syphilis gonorrhea crabs did that stop you I Didn't say I didn't say I didn't say it stopped you but it made too conscious of what was of what can happen to you right so every so every time you had the opportunity or the opportunity presented yourself you had that

that escape, that either you can choose to, oh, man, this is what can happen, or I could jump in and see. You're not thinking about that every single time. I get it. But that's what I'm saying. But it was still available, even though you weren't thinking about it. And what I'm saying is, you know, the education is out. There are many people who are having those conversations and have had those conversations. The fact in the matter is, when you young,

When you mature and when you owe you still gonna want that so you can have all the talks in the world is still incumbent on that those two individuals to make And that's why the age of concern is 18 because because even though you're a biological adult You're still a child right in your thinking

And look, and somebody just brought a good point. I wish that there were grown-ass folks who would be that conscious. But that ain't the case even with soap. The question becomes our outlook. And part of it is how, again, how we're taught about sex. If we're taught about sex from a moral perspective, then that's how people are looking at it. We're not looking at the biology. What's the primary purpose for having sex? Procreation.

What is the consequence of one having unprotected sex? Pregnancy. Then we get into diseases for pregnancy. So then what does that mean? That means that we have somebody who's not prepared to raise a child, but who has a child. Okay. And so I don't know, and I hear all of this, but I just think that if you want to have this conversation, no, let me rephrase that. When we have this conversation,

I was part of a group through Planned Parenthood. It was trying to put together a curriculum of healthy, what was it, self-sex health, sex education. And it was hard because we dealt with the church. And in spite of all of the church's teachings, okay, that has fallen on deaf ears. Hormones speak louder than theology.

I'll say it one more time. Hormones speak louder than theology. You are not just like you said, write out is that human nature is powerful.

And so you really can't restrain it, right? But you have to teach responsibility. You have to teach the results, the consequences. Are you going to be prepared to do this thing not just for a year, but for 18 years and for 20 years. And that's the message that's not. But we know what 18 years down the road looks like. A 16 year old does not. And so it's an abstraction. But no, but it's an abstraction.

To them when you're talking about a man, do you know you have to raise that kid for 18 years and they've lived 14? The math says I don't have a constant and then because this is what human beings will do. It happens to everybody but me. Yeah, exceptional people, right? How many do how many do and I know have gotten caught up in drugs because everybody else got addicted. I won't Yes, you will

So, you know, I mean, it's a hard one. I think it's also where you are, you know, our sexual behavior, our self-esteem. There's a lot of things going on. Self-control too. I mean, everything, you know. But I'm just saying, but there's a lot that goes into our whole thing. And so we had these conversations around sex, around sexuality, around sexual identification. We need to deal with the science. This is Keith. And then, you know,

After a while, once you know how it works, I think the other thing is how do you raise the self-esteem of a child? 13 is tough. I don't know if anybody has ever been 13. I've been 13. 13 is hard. I mean, one of the kids came up and he was just down. He said, what's that? He's 13, right? I had to be honest with like, dude, 13 sucks. But 13 ain't forever. But it sucks still. It ain't suck for me. It ain't suck for me.

the exception to the rule. But at the end of the day, we're all going to go through something. And that learning curve ain't no escaping that learning curve. It's more involved in the investment of time on the adults that are in those children's lives if they're even in them. I think the other thing is when you put people

And I was just thinking about this. I don't know. I was driving racing last night. Hey, I saw Will Martin sign down racing. I was driving for racing last night. I said, you know, one of the things about us is that, as you just said, how do you think about the thing? But then I also got, and I was watching these kids, and they were involved with organized sports. Because when kids are in things and positive things,

It is very different than when you, as you just said, leave them on their own devices. Because guess what? Because DJ is the leader of the group. We can really do something stupid because at that point it didn't because DJ has a story. And for all of us, does this resonate with anybody? It seemed like a good idea at the time. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Does that resonate with anybody that's listening? Even now when I sit back and look at my life and some of the stuff that I've done.

I sit back and was like, man, that's stupid. Even though at that particular time, we thought, ah, man, this is amazing. Oh, like that girl? Man, that wave Nouveau, man. I mean, man, I want to be pretty Ricky, man. I want to be Tubbs off of my life. I want to be Tubbs. Man, I done put in some clothes. It seemed like a good idea until I walked out the crib. Hey, man, I had a snakeskin suit.

I had a whole lot of dough

When I walk in the church, I walk in the church looking, looking foolish. But again, I didn't care. Whatever I did, I was going to care. No, no, I didn't care. So you care what you got to reaction? No, because I, I, I, this is for me. So like, I, I actually, you know, did some stuff and I still went to church because I was like, regardless of what I'm doing.

I'm still going. We need a female voice here. Sit on the couch and call in. You realize that a lot of our youth are operating out of just being conditioned. And let go. And it gives evidence to what is said in the description. A child left to themself is going to do crazy stuff and bring shame to their parents. If we're going to have a female voice,

then we're gonna need them to be 100 because them girls, because them girls want to be just as much as them boys did, you know? Whenever you sneak in to her house, she had to let you in. And she knew what was gonna happen before you got there. Because she gave you the, no, everybody's equally there. No, there ain't nobody for you. But your toes, your toes, like she let him in.

Because we always talk about boys will be boys and boys being men and stuff. And it's like the boys just forced the girls to do this. No. No. It goes both ways. Some of these women are more aggressive than men. Like now. Did that just start? No, no, no, no. No, but I'm saying, but now it seems like it's more of a forefront now because you got a lot of women now that would tell you.

Nowadays, I don't want a relationship. I just want a situational shit. Okay. And that just goes to... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. Let's, let's, let's, let's take... You got a problem with that? I didn't say I had a problem with it. But I'm just saying, that's what women are saying. She didn't even call you in the morning. What I'm saying is... You ain't bothered by it. Hey, Keith, hey, Keith, you go back to that question. Did you go back? Yeah. No, he couldn't go back.

What he's saying is a continuum of the downfall of society.

That's what I'm saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying.

When Philip Bailey talked about reasons. Oh, yeah, now wait a minute. You know whose feelings was hurt? Here's Frankie Beverly say after the morning Yeah, yeah, but when she don't call you the next day

No, that is true because, no, that is true. Who tripping? We are because normally it's us and they're like, well, why you don't call after you? When they flip that script? Yeah. When they flip that script? After you go, you fire yourself, board up in your bed, don't you? In the field of fire. Remember, uh, remember on Big Rain? You know, Robin, Robin left him to $200.

With the shoes on the other foot, with the shoes on the other foot, you all called in what they see right now for two weeks, right? So you just gonna do this to me and not call me? And it all goes back to you love me tomorrow. Hey, if it's something that you want, you're gonna figure out a way to get it. Yeah, that's because you know,

It's been some very strict parents. You know, you know, I gotta meet everybody who come into this house. I gotta meet everybody who you are involved with and maybe no shenanigans happen in the house. It could have happened in the car. No, that is true. You know what I mean? It's always gonna be something so you just have to have that conversation with them and then you just gotta trust that, you know,

they are able to make a responsible decision when they're on, because at the end of the day, as a parent, your children are going to be away from you more than you're with them. So when you're with them, it's just important that you give them the necessary knowledge in order for them to know, be able to discuss stuff. And take this out. I'm going to say this. How many of y'all took their bicycle ride at eight o'clock at night when they parents in that home? Never.

You know what they created? Forbidden fruit. Right. Forbidden fruit drives

behavior. When we're not supposed to do it, we only want to do it more. Yep. And so how we talk about it, we just want to do it more. That is the temptation like, oh man, you know, now if it was just wide opening you, uh-uh, when they like you got a, it was a. Don't eat that last piece of cake up in that plate. Yeah. And then don't you find yourself opening up the refrigerator. Why not? I'm gonna be back that's safe for my birthday. Yeah. Grandma made that cake.

Don't eat. Here come the enemy. Eat it. Eat it. It was good, wasn't it? It looked good. When she, when she thinks it felt okay, eat it. I'm just gonna eat it. And then it's gone. What if it's gone? Taste it faster. And then you find yourself eating a little bit. Now it's like, okay, I can't put it back because I ate.

They saved it for a reason. It must be good. I can't think of yesterday. Yesterday, man. I left here exhausted, right? I said, I had nothing to talk about this morning. Wrong. Wrong. Let's see if there's any women in the chat as we go to break.

Don't hide behind the typing. I want to hear what you got to say. Who you snuck in? That's what I wanted to know. Right. Who you snuck in? Because I know I've... Here's the difference. Here's the difference. Here's the difference. Here's the difference. And we need to learn this. Women don't talk.

Okay, all right, I'm gonna prove my point. We're gonna go to break any women call yet It consistency of life

Caller. Hope you ignore the giggles. But you're in there. Thank you for your patience. Welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. You know, first thing I want to say, I think the inner city of Milwaukee is going down the toilet.

and it's starting to look like the slums of Rockford. We know downtown is just upside down, and I'm gonna ask you this, because I think when it comes to our people, and we're not talking about white people today, we're talking about people who look like us, who has the free will. I think with downtown, since people have the free will, and people don't know how to act, I think they should get $2,000 tickets and no trespass orders for a year and a half. When it comes to 25th and Capitol where there's absolutely dirt,

garbage, no grass. They see the clothes they're building down because you know there's always some derelicts, some trenches, some drifts. There's either somebody sitting there drawing or somebody out there fighting and they draw or some families probably fighting over dope because pretty much the people look like they don't work. Then when you look at the gas station up the street from you where the prostitutes and the whores can sell at that snatch looking like big naughty with the

lying and going down her feet and looking like she's from Iowa. A lot of this though, man, is survival, dude. That ain't black people. That's just survival, man. I mean, you know. But we gotta understand that it's not just what we see here. There are other areas where people are done. I mean, we tend to kind of

But we don't care about other areas. We care about the areas. But what I'm saying is that we need to understand that just goes along with every area. That's not every area, but a lot of areas. I don't know. Now, now I'm full of Washington, Mekwan. I know they have a motel out there where they have the trays and the junkies, but you don't see no need to know if you're walking down. Let me ask you a question. Are there any drug houses? Well, let me ask you a question. Are there any drug houses in Brookfield?

I'm pretty sure, yeah, because you know a lot of drug houses and walkershows. Yeah, but you know what, them drug houses don't look like they're in the city. It's still a drug house. It's still a drug house. Exactly, but they still have class. You go down to Rockford, Freemort, you go down to Rockford, Illinois, the Freeport, how that building looked on 25th. But those are economically distressed areas, and what usually happens in economically distressed areas

is that people who are dealing with certain issues, mental health, drug addiction, prostitution, all those things, that that is, that's what's going to happen. So why is it not, so why is it not, so what I see on the Acacin, or you know, what is that, Keith and, Keith and, Keith and Acacin.

At about four o'clock in the morning, you got about six, seven white junkies and drugies sitting at a gas station zone and like they on that demon. If there were no guns, if there were no guns, would there be prostitutes? No, I'm talking about junkies. Well, we know it's all about a person dealing with an addiction. They need help. I mean, you can't blame. I don't say play.

I said that you know when a person sitting up dealer with addiction and now the addition is the addiction has gotten to the point that they're homeless that they are trying to survive you know, I mean that I just I just you know, sometimes I'm just there's just things and we started we talking about this sexual is human behavior man and people make some I don't have a Problem with you being a prostitute or a little whore or whatever. I mean look at who was born in Jesus me

and his mommy was 13. So we know she was four adults. Put that in context. Many women were having babies at 13 because they were biological adults. So that that our world has changed. We have a different understanding. But you know what I want to do this for me man. Is there any good news? The good news is that

It's not allowed in other neighborhoods. And while I'm saying this, it's got to get so sick and tired of hearing that city party. Still we rise. It looks different. I mean, you say it's not allowed. It looks different. I'm sure that there are laws on the books in Brookfield that says that prostitution is illegal. It's how it looks like you can go to Washington DC. What is that 14th in Connecticut?

you know, where, you know, people walk in, it's on the books, people trying to survive, man. It's under construction, though, right now. Oh, man. Right, dude. But what I'm saying is, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a mess. And the reason why I'm calling you, because every time it comes to the inner city, it's always a pity party. Oh, either somebody got a victim or somebody is a junkie. It's, you know what I'm saying? Like, they can't say nothing good about blacks.

It's like everybody. Okay. Okay. Fair point. Fair point. Stop right there. Say something. You say something positive about black folks. You can change that narrative. Give me something positive about black folks. My grandmother had 14 kids, wasn't on welfare on the house, and she was not on square fair, and she didn't go around here and say, I got a distance, I'm a rent, and all I know is this and the judges. That is not what the city is about.

So hopefully some of these black politicians have even as pity. And if they can't get a nigga sit down, don't use it. I appreciate the caller. That kind of goes to a little bit of the conversation that I brought up to you in our production meeting. So in the past week and a half or so, not week and a half, like a few days ago,

I had this discussion with somebody and we were talking about uh was legal and then was normalized and we were talking about uh specific uh things that was going on in the world and I was saying that well you know at that specific time it was legal and then another individual was saying well

No, it was normalized. And our our our difference was, you know, what comes first? And I was saying that, you know, usually if something is normalized, it's because it was legal at first. Now, as time goes on, maybe what's normalized became illegal. But in particular, uh.

Yeah, but let's just let's just talk about but let's just talk about let's just say I'm not gonna bring that specific one up, but let's just say drugs. All right. You know, marijuana is like normalized even though it's illegal. No, it's legalized in 39 states. I'm talking about here.

Oh, it's kind of you know, if you look at drugs as a whole it's been compromised because but it was legal for a but it was legal They have allowed you to sell it. No cocaine Okay, cocaine was legal. Yeah, it was that cocaine was it was in the original Coca-Cola, right? And so ecstasy was legal, right? And so my point was you know in order for us to get to a normalization of something

It first had to be legal. And then, you know, it it matriculated down to being normalized because you were always doing it. Craig, I would say Craig wrote a good point that when you talk about marijuana before it was legalized, it was pretty normalized. But I mean, it was the widespread. Right. But I'm saying up until recently, it has been illegal. It was a class one drug for the federal government.

But that didn't stop youth look at look at let's just prohibition mm-hmm I was just about to say that and then also even look at look at some of the things that are illegal that we consider crimes Let's just say still there was a time where it was we were still at every legal

It had to be because you made it along. Okay. Well, we're going to talk about that. It had to be running rapid. They were probably running rapid to where they said, hey, man, we got to chill out with this. You can't just make that argument about regular strikes.

Okay, so let's take a break. You can't just do this. No, no, man. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding. That's why I'm speeding.

We are in Hater's nation population. Millions. I'm not letting anybody off the hook today. I'm on some today. I am on some. Can I do vibe real quick? Yeah, please do. I'm on vibe today. Okay. Let's talk about bandwagon fans. Me.

No poster child. Definitely a poster child. I will start with me, but come on, man. That y'all have a problem with bandwagon fans. I do. I don't. You don't? Oh, that's right. Could you one of them? No, I don't care. Oh, man. Oh, man. What about you, right out? I go down with the chip. So you got a problem with bandwagon fans? No, I don't have a problem with them. I just go down with the chip.

Great, I think people too much. Well No, I'm not a bandwagon There's only one exception for that for me Packers I ride a diet. I ride a diet with the Packers. Why is that? That's just how deep I am with the Packers But the bucks

Now I'm really up in the bandwagon right now with the Brewers. But boy, boy, boy. Let me tell you. Yeah, I'm like, hey, man, I'm just being honest with you, bro. First team to 70. They do it well. Brad and Sport. They always do well around this time. And then when October comes, we fall off the.

Oh Yeah, I mean listen man, I've been riding with the Brewers since Robin yop paul monitor You know, I've been riding Cooper Ceci Cooper. Yeah, he just did an interview. I gotta watch it Yeah, he did it with Matt Barnes Raleigh fingers So as the Cecil was Cecil I thought it was Cecil What's your favorite pickleball team?

Yeah, that's how I feel about Cecil Fielder. Cecil Fielder is the one who did that interview. Cecil Fielder. Now, if you said banana ball, no. I like banana balls. They sold out millipart. I've seen it. Two dates. The Brewers don't always do that. Listen, man, I actually sat and watched a whole game of the whole banana ball. And it's intriguing, man, just watching how they

That trick pitch man the one guy got him with the trick pitch when he did like this But he threw it behind his back and it was crazy because he fooled everybody in part. What's what's your hate? Oh I Thought it was just a reason for it. I didn't think it was just an wagon fan. I thought you had a story That's how he works. No, you usually got it. Oh, I got some more. Hey, I got some so I was just saying me I hate

Bandwagon fans what I want of them. All right. I Hate this one now this one. I just I just think this is just pure just Hateration folks who hate on other people's money Yeah, you know like like he making a hundred and fifteen thousand dollars a year and what's your point? Yeah, yeah Come on. Let me let me say this one though. I played at a

festival one time with two or three bands. So they paid us to come and I sat in with two other bands. But you had people on the side saying, oh, y'all paying him three times and I stopped them and said, hold on.

What they pay my band is different than me sitting in is just me sitting in with different bands. But don't worry about it. I ain't got to explain to you about me getting paid. Ain't that one of my rules? I don't do no explaining. I don't do no explaining, man. See, they just gotta listen to me, man. I don't do no explaining. But I never, see, I always been in the thinking of what's for me is for me. And what's not, it's not for me.

And so I never worried about no, nobody pockets or what nobody else is getting. And I, and I always shied away from those conversations when people try to, you know, invite you into those type of conversations. I just, I just say like, man, I don't care. I don't care. You do what you need to do. And then you get paid. Right. Man, I hate that. Man, I just saw a post this dude. And the first thing he talked about was how much she was making. Okay. What's your point?

Oh, it ain't a point. It's just hate. Yeah. Okay. All right. Do I have another one? Oh, oh, here's my favorite one. Folks who know the truth.

Folks who know the truth. The truth. The truth. Absolutely. Truth. Folks who know the truth. The truth is that they know when you fire, when you come to work. You know, like the five percenters. So, only five percent of us know the truth. What about the other 95 percent? Oh, man, people who know, my buddy used to say, watch out for true believers. And then people call in and their tone is that they just got the truth.

Let me tell you something about truth. Truth can be elusive. Truth can be fluid. And then sometimes the truth you're talking about could be so absolute it eats you up. But all these people out there just know the truth. You just, and you know what gets into those folks who know the truth, then they're critical of everybody else. Right? I know the truth. Everybody else is found. Will you know, will you know part of the reason?

About that that 5% and 95% is because you know that 95% is more than that 5% So they they really a hawk down on you as if you wrong when they wrong So the the percentage that don't know the truth in that though, you know the other side of that corn is those who believe the lie

Right, that's that that's that that could be that 95% It could be the 5% literally will follow a lie. It could be the 5% cognitive to the truth though that changes I Mean we see it happening right now. I'm just saying I hear you. I hear it in the tone Like you got a monopoly on the truth No, you don't know I don't

Is he saying something? Two calls, then we gotta break so callers don't take all day. Now, because we have to come back to it. Yeah. Order. We still got some more hate though. I don't want any labor problems around here. That's right. It's been a lot of hate this day. Good morning, you on there. What's going on, brother? What's happening?

I got a good hate right here. What's that? I hate when parents, not parents, one side of the parent pick and choose when to discipline the child. I hate that. I hate that. You can't pick and choose when you want a other parent to discipline the child. Because they need consistency. That's right. Hold on. Here's what he's saying. Wait till your father gets home. Is that what I'm hearing?

I'm saying is, if she balls them out, don't ball them out. But if I ball them out a different way, don't ball them out too bad. Are you teaching them how to play between the two of them? Yes, so don't do that. I hate that. That's right. Does someone need to hear that? Yes, they do. It's a bunch of people need to hear that. Anybody near you need to hear that? Yeah.

You know does he whisper it down?

I hear the strength of your conviction, man. I mean, you still hit the challenge. You feel strongly about this, don't you? Heck, yeah, I do, man. You heard me say, hey, hello. OK. All right. Can you call us from home? Hey, we're going to get the next call because they probably are not working. Don't hit the challenge, y'all.

No, I can't. We don't hear from you. We know what happened when you got home. No, we're not together. So that ain't nothing to do with us. I hear you did. I was like, well, did you hear me, Nick? Well, talk strong, man. I have a buddy. He come by my house. He be talking hard. That's 28 15.

I like to hear what you talk like over at 5,500 because I know what you sound like in 2815. When I come to 5,500, I'm hearing crickets. It was a good pre-season game last night. How about that? I didn't even see that. I didn't see it. Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It was a Hall of Fame game. It

Good morning, you're in there. Good morning, gentlemen. What's up? Well, what is the absolute truth? Figure that one out. But you know what I'm going to tell you? Just like the last colleague, he was kind of quiet. His girl might have been in the kitchen. You know, the thing is, being honest with each other makes all the sense in the world. But he appears to be consistent. And when you're disciplining, life goes on.

And if you've got to pick a choose when you discipline, when you got a lot of other persons discipline the child. But now, unlike my issue, she's straight, straight wrong. You don't care how she deal with herself. At no point in time, I just leave her out of it. Because I do have four places, but the thing, you know, let's talk about the truth.

Look, it's exciting that they look what we got in the White House. I'm not going to say any names, because they're going to have you nagging up on me. But they feel that that is 100% true what we're going to do about that. Have a good one. I would never put truth on this White House. No, I don't know. You listen to Community Voice. We're going to take a break. We'll be right back.

Can I do a disclaimer before DJ does the prospective caller? We're gonna grab you right after I know some of you tuned in expecting Expecting a what would I say? That Emmy award winning show. Yeah, we we we we get off the rails like eight minutes in and now it's time

Okay, I'll take responsibility for it. Let me take the wheel back of my program right now it's time for the protege's perspective Since the day you were born you were provided a wealth of knowledge As an infant to a toddler to your adolescent years then teenage years and lastly your adult years Incrementally new things are provided to you as knowledge

in an effort to aid you in evolving as a human being. Each segment of your life are just as important as the others. Valuable and necessary skills are passed on to you as each day passes on. Some of the most valuable information you will receive will come from those who know. Those who know what you want to do.

those who know what you want to be and those who know what you don't see. We often hear knowledge is power and it is less often that we hear that knowledge is also omniscient and omnipresent. Through challenges, we begin to discover just how knowledgeable we are, how strong we are, and how resilient we are.

Depending on the stage of life you are in, in the field you are in, there may be some things that you feel you just don't know. While there will always be things you are unfamiliar with, we will already have been in the position to be given answers to quite a few tests.

The Bible says train up a child in a way that he should go. And when he grow old, he will never depart from it. This passage speaks to the elders and providing and teaching a righteous path to the younger generation. This passage also speaks to the younger generation as well. It informs you that if you follow the guidance of your elders, when you grow more mature, those ways

and words will be instilled in you. It's a commonly traveled street towards the path of knowledge and righteousness. So when you are contemplating your next move or pondering a question that life presents to you, it's more than likely that you already have the answers. It just depends on if you took heed to them when the knowledge was given. Appreciate you.

I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but can I get a write-out? I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but when All Kennedy could do yesterday was brag about she got shouted out on the radio She let her day camp counselor know celebrity status when she talked to her mom and dad last night. She let them know

I didn't know that that was such a big deal for her. You know what? I've just been blasted a few times by, you know, one of my mom's best friends. She's basically like an auntie to me. So because you said that, I got to give a shout out to Joanne Evers. You know, always thinking about you. We love you. And I've never, never forgotten about you. So this is your shout out. You can't say I don't shout you out no more.

I got you. Carla, welcome to the program. Good morning. You're in there. Hey, what's up, my brothers? How y'all doing, man? All right, so you know what? That's beautiful. What you just said, both of y'all, people don't realize that y'all stars and people eyes just just being the family member and stuff with you a little bit older. They just think you just the bomb. And it's amazing how that works. People don't realize that they really look up to you. When you wait, um,

Talking about that relationships man, you remember in middle school. That's when it started First she's looking at your teacher and then you get it You get one of your you get one of your peers that like you and look at you boy be on one of them peers like you you be like She's fine and she liked me man. It's so crazy. It is just so innocent, but it's fun Right and then um, and then you was talking about that money thing. I got a plumber and he did some work for a big old um a big apartment and the lady gonna say

How much you charging me so she gave her the product after he finished? She said I'm a teacher and I'll make that much money an hour. He said when I was a teacher, I didn't make that much money an hour. Peace y'all brothers, have a good week. That's why I became the problem. He said that makes two of us. That makes two of us. Yeah man, you know, and I've just thought about this and I don't know if it's an ethic, if it's a work ethic, but I knew

I'm talking about me. I knew what I signed up for. They told me what my rate of pay was going to be when I came in the door, right? I agreed and so I accepted that and then I don't know why I get in the door and I start tripping. They ain't paying me no money. They told you they weren't going to pay you no money. That's one of my biggest pet peeves. You know, you read the job description, they explain the job to you in the interview and they tell you what you're going to be getting paid and then

When you say, oh, yeah, I can do that And then when you get there you act like oh, I don't get paid enough to do this or does that in the third a This is what you signed up for and nine times out of ten You know people didn't ask you to be at this job you apply which means you asked for this opportunity no victims

You know, I and sometimes look and I was saying this about getting fired There's some jobs I should have gotten fired from and I did and there's some jobs I should have got fired from and I didn't Now that's my life. I can't talk about everybody else's life, but I'm just saying so there have been some situations where they paid me far more money than I should have ever gotten and then I had other situations where it was low and

It really didn't matter because I need to be consistent. It was something that the late Pastor William Yancy senior said to me. He said, you know what? You preach to five like you preach to 5,000. That's good. You know, and I appreciated that advice. It's not the size of the crowd, right? Your work is your work. If you're if you're if you're a professional, it

I got a big crowd, boom, you get the show. I got a small crowd, boom, you get the show. That always speaks to me when Dr. King preached his lesson or sermon, life's DNA. Whatever you do, no matter what it is, do it to the best of your ability. And Jay-Z had a song called My Last Song.

or my first song. It was called my first song. And in the insert, Biggie said, you know, Diddy told him, you know, a treat your treat your first like your last and your last like your first, you know, so that, you know, you stay hungry. You stay giving your your all to that particular task. And a lot of people

A lot of people, like you said last week, you know, a lot of people at the best are only doing maybe 80% working 80% to their capacity. You know what I mean? But then have the audacity to be complaining about, you know, what they getting paid and is that when they when they ask for it anyway. And you find a lot of people try to get out of the work that they responsible for anyway. All right. Go back to your perspective.

related to what you just said about Dr. King and being the best and your perspective touched on this concept that has been recently discussed in a group that I'm a part of where within the seed is contained all that the plant needs to become thriving. It just needs additional things poured into it as it begins to grow. So that information, that knowledge that

you know, input from those that curators, the loved ones, all those who are pouring into that person, that life to help it become, you know, what, to reach its maximum potential. My grandmother is actually the genesis of this particular perspective because when I was younger, Granny used to always tell me, learn a new word a day.

You learn a new word a day, you write a sentence, and by the end of that week, you'll have a paragraph. And I just think about how I always wanted to, you know, expand my vocabulary, how I wanted to, you know, expound in various endeavors. And I'm like, but if I had just done what my grandmother did,

which was learning new word each day, you know, maybe my outcomes will be a little different. And so that's why I said, like, you know, sometimes we already have the answers to that test. It's just, did we listen and did we, you know, expand on it and put it into action? Yeah, I think, you know, at this age, I still have questions.

And I hope I question to the end of my existence here, that that's what I'm talking about people who know the truth. You so locked into that, what you think is true. And then you come to find out that maybe with more examination, it's like, I'll call out his name, when Meach calls in, Meach will do it. I said, well, Meach, go look it up. I ain't gonna look it up. So what you're doing is you're saying that your ignorance is not blissful.

Let me put it that way that you know, you have that's why we do the cleanups on our five cleanups on our six because That some information got out was incomplete or it was inaccurate and so be able but I gotta be able to rectify I still have questions man, and and I'm going to question You know, I just think that keeps I think that keeps us alive and and and that you you you're exposed to new and different things

I think one of the, when you get old and now you don't want to learn anything else, that doesn't bode well. So how do you process the scripture that says, ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth? To me, what you just said explains that. It does, but I also think that there are people out there who are, if this is what it says,

And if this is what it says, this is what must be. Now, I'm going to get in trouble with a lot of my real good Baptist friends here, is that there are many people believe that all truth is in the Bible. It's hard to get people to understand that the Bible is a book. And I'm only using that because people, they will cite scripture.

But it's it's it was composed by men Not women because there are no female writers, right? So that's not even complete the fact. So what what I like to do is be able to extract the truth from the Bible Ruth Ruth was written about somebody. I don't think Ruth wrote it because Ruth it was probably they wouldn't even teach Ruth how to write All right, because she was a woman. So I'm just saying that in terms of who wrote it though, you know

Yeah, I think there's some books in the see for Bible. No, yeah in the Bible. Yeah And what I'm saying when I'm All I'm saying is that that there's certain things like I believe I believe God is absolute Me too. I believe our knowledge of God is incomplete. Yeah, as it should be as it will be That's not conflicting

Well, yeah, but some folks speak as if they just know they know and that's gets me back to I don't I don't speak for God No, you don't I don't speak for God God doesn't need me to speak for her You're listening to community voice we're gonna take a break call I see you I'll grab you That's why your back was messed up

Keep on he go he go She don't need me to speak her truth You can avoid that by just finding the creator there you go And and and you know how difficult that is well, but again it goes back to DJs Correct, you know, we gotta take a break go ahead, but my point is this

My point is you're going to take us to break after you take the point. What did you say? You said, I don't do the explanations. All right. All right. Take us to bring. And we're going to break. We'll be right back. Fruit is shit. You're welcome back as, right, I was just sent me to hell again. We're going to take a quick break. Carla, welcome to the program. Good morning, you on there. Hey, good morning to you. I was just listening.

And I heard my man bring my name. I'm not going to study. I don't got to check it out. That's not true. I never said that. That's an untrue. I never said that I'm not going to study. The knowledge that I have, the only way I've retained it is through studying. I didn't Google it because Google knowledge, most of it is unattainable. You have to go back and research it again and again because you didn't study it and make sure that it was Google the data, meaning in your hard drive.

if you looked it up you did the research why would you study it you're calling back get more get more you never learn it okay so check this out man i heard you say god she and he anybody that would just about a living god either two two things he either doesn't believe in the existence of god or he's just uh uh he that doesn't believe in the existence of god

Oh, yeah, it's no fear of God the living God and it's an it's a bad thing to fall into the hands of an angry God man Did you hear any of this prior to your name? Because if you were hurting thing prior to your name what I said was that at this point We're trying to understand God and we will never understand God. Did you hear that? Okay, so what I'm saying is that God is bigger than humanity

Okay, listen, he's got bigger than humanity. We have a manual. We have a manual to go by. Okay. And any taxi see what you're doing when you start saying she will be what you're doing is blaspheming and that blaspheming that you're doing is that unto death. See, check this out because he they bought Jesus up. They just bought Jesus up on charges of blaspheming. That's what that was really why he was executed.

Check it out, man. That is not why Jesus was crucified. That is not why Jesus was crucified. Jesus was crucified for succession and treason. Jesus went against, it was Rome that crucified Jesus. As a matter of fact,

There were certain things that the Jewish authorities wanted included on that little thing over his head, and Pilate rejected. Jesus' problem was with Rome. Now, it didn't help that the local folks had a problem with him, and they set him up for Rome, but that's what he was crucified for. Jewish people did not crucify other Jewish people. Because Pontus Pilate didn't want nothing to do with it. So they say. No, because the historical Pontus Pilate...

Is very different and that's the other piece of it. We take that narrative But we need to also know the history around what created that time Most scholars will say that Pontus Pilate was ruthless The only thing that Pontus Pilate was concerned with was order, right? And so Jesus based on the presentation But even then when he pushed back like the stuff y'all trying to blame him for now get him with this anybody see the book of Clarence

Anybody say that movie? No. Remember at the end when he got crucified? And he kept saying, look, dude, this is just a hustle for me. And what did the Roman guys say? They say, yeah, but you had people following you. So you could flip it, right? That was like on a trailer or something. I saw that part. Yeah, you know, that was his point was, and that's what happens in society, that when you push up against it, you know, we saw it in the 60s, right?

People were threatening to ask you a question. Yes, sir It's that if that's the case and he said it was a hustle and you already know what the book says Okay, and you want to say that he's a she and all of this kind of stuff You're just you're you're blaspheming because you've taken the book and you're making me say what you wanted

You know, you know, I'm telling you if you understand People write people write in a tense and usually you write it from your perspective the tense your tense. No, no, no, no, no, no How many women how many women how many women of author books in the Bible? No answer that question. That's a pretty simple Conversation right quick. That's a pretty simple one. How many women in your in your canon has authored books in the Bible?

Hey, look, this is what happens gentlemen in the studio and listeners when you go out seeking the truth beyond what your mom and daddy and great-grandparents have passed you you go out and you You seek the truth instead of debunking nature you seek to greater than your truth and you wind up like this Appreciate you man. You listen community boys. We're gonna take a break. Oh, man. I'm on jack up. We're gonna take a break. We'll be right back

All right, welcome back. You familiar with Dr. Ivan Van Sertema? No. He talks about those things specifically. Right. I mean, you know, there's something called the universal land drift theory. I don't know if anybody's heard of that. What it was saying that at one point, what we, all of the earth. The masses. The masses was one piece. And over millions of years, it broke apart. And that created what we have in terms of our continents.

And then, and I was just watching this whole thing that they were doing on how the earth is perfectly placed in terms of distance from the sun in order for organisms. That's us, that's grass, all that, the perfect environment based on its placement. Now, it didn't just start there, right? We're talking millions.

and billions of years. Let me ask you a question regarding that because you say that quite often and then when I'm at home I hear you say that and I say to myself so the theory of that theory could it not be that the creator made it that way where it gives the appearance of being millions of years old but it's created to have these ingredients. How old is like?

Light is 13 billion years old. How do they know? That's only based on man's perspective. No, no, no. Hold on. How do we know? No, no, no. It's not a perspective. How do we know that? Because there's a telescope. That's the man's perspective. Wait a minute. There's a telescope that says that the original light took the light that we experienced today took 13 billion years.

We're trying to encapsulate existence into our years on the earth. And that's man's perspective. That's all I'm saying. But just like when they do carbon dating, all of these things are based on our ability to understand what it is that we're dealing with. Well, I can say that existence is older than 8,000 years. I can say that. You could. No. And we say it's all perspective. But what I'm saying is that the same perspective that people use to say that it was Adam and Eve in the garden is

This is different. Adam and Eve was not scientifically discovered. No, when you talk about light, again, 13, that's how old this existence is. Not just here on earth. 13 billion years old. That's how vast God is. So where did that number come from? The number came from a telescope that said that based on how long it took this distance from the furthest, from the furthest first stop. I always say about science.

That's man's perspective. That's science. That's man's science. Who's having the discussion? We are men. Okay, okay. I hear what you're saying. Okay, so then let me ask you this question then Craig. How, how, how, how, how, no I'm not, I am not minimizing the creation. What I just said, and I said it four times on this program, our understanding of God is limited. Key, use your inside voice. That's right. You hit it right on the head.

So, and then I also went in, I'm gonna use my outside word. I also said that because of that, our understanding of God is limited. It's limited by our humanity. But what human beings have a problem with is that human beings believe that they are the center of everything. Human beings do not see themselves as just another part of existence. We don't.

Absolutely. So that's why they just said that no creature has had the impact on the earth. In the last 40,000 years, it was human beings. Right. They don't really know that. It's human beings. Right. But existence is more than human beings. It's like when you go out, we were talking with the brothers that went to camp. And they talk about all the stars that you see at night.

Do you know how many millions of miles those stars are from us? See that can be one thing but then all of that trying to you know decipher how many years away certain stuff is from I don't really believe that because You would have to go that many miles away

Yes, you would because then how can you how can you how can you give that certain perspective? It's our level of understanding. So we put things in a perspective that we can understand. So they're so they're obviously, you know, we have been having some hearings and there's always been talked about aliens, right? And they were saying that, you know, from from a certain distance.

from earth and into space, the aliens, what they see right now is like 400 years ago or whatever. And my point was, well, how could you believe that? Did they go with the aliens and sit where they were sitting to give us that perspective? Right, but see, my point is this. You can't just be saying stuff and then because you put something in place.

in their day could deal with the star Sirius B. And we still don't understand how they did that. We still can't understand how the pyramids were built, right? Yeah, you do. No, you don't. Yeah, you do. It was that the Egyptians developed one of the most sophisticated pulley systems.

That's how they were able to do what they were able to do. It was their science. It was their engineering. So let me ask you. Why can't we do it now? Let me ask you. You can do it now. You could build a pyramids now. Let me ask you a question. How old is existence? We don't know. Take a guess. How old do you think it is based on what you know? Based on what I know. I give it 50,000 years. I would say it's irrelevant.

Yeah. Oh, OK. OK. All right. No, no, really, because we're here now. We're here for a short period of time. This is something I was thinking about on the way in here. What is the purpose of life? I don't know. What is your purpose in life? I don't know. It is to contribute based on the gifts and talents that you've been in doubt with. Maybe. So that might for the next generation can be better. That might not be for me.

I mean, that's what your ancestors did. What they did was allow you to do what you're doing now. Let me say this. That's the purpose for all of us. Let me say this. That's preaching. That's why we're missing so much stuff now because we've left those things behind. You're preaching now. But let's get back. If that's your philosophy. To the mic, man. That's the point. That's the point. If that's your philosophy. The audience don't hear you.

you know, but everybody doesn't subscribe to that philosophy. Hey, you have those are the destroyers and those are producers. True. I mean, we do have a choice because we all put here. I could choose to contribute or I could choose not to contribute. Well, that that's true. And then we will miss some. But that goes that goes to purpose. Yeah, we all have a purpose. Now, if you don't fulfill your purpose before you leave, it's on you. But we was all put here for a purpose.

But also, you have to understand that what we want our purpose to be may not be the one God has. Right. And that also goes into, you know, how we always want to have a hand in something. How we think that, oh, it's supposed to be this way. A lot of this stuff.

Ain't up to us like if we we say this all the time and we take it for granted Tomorrow is in promise. You know, is it really up to me that I see tomorrow? Not necessarily prime prime example met my god went to school to be a chemical engineer So he tried to control his destiny you go to school four years chemical engineer graduated now 10 15 years later. He's never worked a day in this field because of

even though he wanted to work in that field, his destiny won in that field. And your purpose can still be a lesson to somebody else, but just not the way that how you wanted to be. 75 to 80% of people do not work in the major that they studied in college. So that has everything to do with the job market, the situation you find, you know, there are other factors, life is not. And also just wanting to get...

Done with graduate the example that the dude the dude just gave when she was complaining as a teacher About what she was getting made and he said I used to be a teacher. That's why I became a plumber. But what I'm saying is

Why would you go to school and spend all of this money? You spent all this money in this field because you wanted this particular thing he was going to school for to better your life. You were programmed to say that if you get an education, life will be better. Of course. But with more understanding, you will begin to understand that one, college ain't for everybody. And then two, there is a lot of things within college that, you know, set you back. You not necessarily set you back financially, but.

You may start off with I think it's one major and then you may end off in another major just for how how things flow like I started off with two different majors Prior to the one that I graduated with I started off with sports management and then I went to communications, but then I

eventually led up to social work. And one of my social work professors told me was that, you know, you don't choose social work, social work chooses you. So I have to figure that out along the way. Can I give y'all some inside baseball on how college works? That's why you don't declare your major until after your sophomore year. Right. Because I went in Bible theology to psychology to English lit to political science. All right.

We're getting, we got a land to play. Yeah. And doctor nation and education, what are you going to do with the information? If you use it to help advance your people and life, then the education. But if you use it just to continue to complete the continuum of being suppressed and oppressed is which is what this whole thing has been happening to us is all about. They're analyzed as dichotomy.

Can you say that again? What you said? Education and the indoctrination is dependent upon what you do with that information. If you've been indoctrinated, you're going to follow what they've been doing to you, because then you're going to continue to be subjected to these things that they've been allowing. And basically, what is it? The colonization of the mind of the people who they want to control, all of these things. Let me go.

quote the prophet, George Clinton. Free your mind. Clark Kent, thank you, sir. Yeah, I think George was hot when he did that. I think George was hot when he did that. It don't matter if he was hot. You know, we always say, you know, trust the message, not the messenger. The message is more important than the message. DJ, thank you, sir. Craig Stingley, thank you.

Right.

See, here we go.

Here we go.

They're gonna let us in because of them, right?

Yeah.

It's gonna

be tighter

though.

You know, but you know, we're gonna have extra security

now.

They're gonna have extra this and that because of that.

No, it's Germain Grown.

As a fool.

It's Germain Grown.

As a fool.

I'm asking the question.

Is Germain

Grown as a fool?

So he

don't got nothing to worry about.

Maybe.

No,

maybe he looks like a dude that could

cause

oh, I will tell you Don't put my driver's license picture up cuz people gonna say I did it.

Yeah, you know, some of us just look

guilty

And a buddy said his daddy used to whoop him before he'd go to work.

Because he knows he's going to mess up.

He knows he's going to mess up.

He just takes care of it

first thing in the morning, you know?

Catch him before the crime even

happens.

That's atrocious.

Come on and get this work.

That's atrocious.

Oh, he knows it's

child.

He's not ready

for you.

You know, I work with kids all my life.

And I'm in parents' denial about your badass kids.

You

know.

Yeah,

you know

I got some stories about that.

You

know, I know you do.

Man, speaking of kids, my daughter gave me got a call.

She at work, son called and said he hear somebody upstairs.

Oh my god.

So, so she come home, she tell the son be quiet.

She stand by our daughter's door.

Kick the door in, boy in the room.

We just live in those days, man.

Oh, it was somebody in the room?

Yeah, with the 4TO.

Dude got in, dude got the talk of crazy.

Left out the house.

I would have been talking.

It was, it wasn't pretty.

I would have been walking.

I would have been like easing.

It wasn't pretty.

It wasn't pretty for her.

It wasn't pretty for her.

I bet it wasn't.

Man, I was like, they going to call me?

I said, uh.

That's what you get for taking us through that.

That's all I have to say.

What

do you do when you've done all you can?

Yeah.

I know what's happening with his little lawsuit.

What do you do

when you've done all you can?

What's his

lawsuit?

What's his lawsuit?

Sexual harassment.

With a woman?

No.

Hold on.

Wait, hold on.

Don't answer that

yet.

So it was a it was a dude or was this a little boy?

Don't

answer that, Keith.

Don't get yourself in no trouble.

Ask the question again,

brother.

Was it a dude

or a little boy?

We're not Eddie long

in

here

Try not to kill the chaos I mean, I think there's another discussion too about

whether or not you put girls on birth control.

Yeah.

You know, and I think that that's the discussion because people say if I put it on birth control, put them on birth control, that means they're going to do it.

No, they're doing it without birth control and the consequences are far greater.

But some women use the birth control to control

their

menstrual.

Right.

Because it'd be so bad on them.

Right.

that they can't take the pain and the

crap and things like that.

But I'm just

saying

because there was a statistic and I don't know how true it was about 60 to 70 percent of young people could have sex before they're 18.

Yeah.

So and then at the same time, you know, the teen birth rate, teen pregnancy rate is dropped.

But I just think, you know, I want those people that and again, I don't have kids.

But if, you know, I would just say, yeah, my daughter is going to go on birth control when she hits puberty.

Now there could be some long-term side effects.

I

mean, I

don't know, but I think this idea that Is how we how we treat sex and Understand it as part of our humanity.

Yeah,

we just over exaggerate.

Yeah, but you don't want as a young person You don't want your kid at the age of 13 14 15 16 having sex then because making those

decision.

I could.

Yeah.

But guess what?

When you was

a kid, did you want it?

Hold on.

I understand that.

But now, but now, but now that I'm

a

parent and now

that I'm

a parent, I have a daughter.

Uh huh.

Now that I'm a parent.

Uh

huh.

I know what to look for.

So, it's, it's my job.

You don't think your parents knew what to look

for when you was

a kid?

Listen, it's my job to put it out there and plant the seed.

That's

all

you can do.

My parents planted the seed.

And you

still wanted it.

Hold on.

My parents planted the seed.

And yes, I had to find out for myself.

But I didn't know what I wanted until you got it.

Well, you know,

we live in a society that don't promote taking responsibility

from the top

down.

Exactly.

Then what else is there to do?

Greg, he knew he wanted.

Some breasts, some thighs, some legs.

He wasn't talking about no chicken.

No, no, no.

Because if you got to give him a

possibility that comes with it, then you're

going to make a choice.

Your choice is for teenager.

When you're a teenager, your hormones is raging.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, you don't know the, or you don't, you know, but you don't think about those consequences after the fact.

But that's not to say that

Many people parents don't educate them.

It's plenty parents.

That's told them.

Hey, I'm not being no no no grandmama.

No grandfather at no early age Because

because again DJ you have to understand this Whatever you are exposed to it's gonna peak your interest.

So if you are exposed to the sexual Content if you're I'm telling you what it is if you see it because that's why the scripture tells you to guard

the gateway to your soul.

Because if you see it in here, you can't unsee,

you can't unhear.

We got all dudes up in here.

Let's talk about the biology.

Well, the wind can blow.

The wind can blow.

We got it.

We got to accept the science, man.

And because we don't have this conversation about the science, then we getting into, I don't want to be a grandparent.

You wish and ain't a strategy.

No, but Keith,

you know, so I'm just saying, talk to your kids and then have them have a healthy outlook about sex, but sex ain't necessarily a proof that I love you.

I mean, I mean, it's all these things that people are looking for

and young people, especially, but look, man, when I was 13, so let me ask you 14.

So when you

was in school

and when you was in

school and when you took sex education and they showed you those herpes bumps and they showed you syphilis and they showed you gonorrhea They showed it to you for a reason because they wanted you to see it because by you saying and it was gonna do some to your mind

And

then you know the buy you having sex it's a possibility that you can get these lumps you can have syphilis gonorrhea crabs did that stop you I

Didn't

say I didn't say I didn't say it stopped you but it made too conscious of what was of what can happen to you right so every so every time you had the opportunity or the opportunity presented yourself you had that

that escape, that either you can choose to, oh, man, this is what can happen, or I could jump in and

see.

You're not thinking about that every single time.

I get it.

But that's what I'm saying.

But it was still

available, even

though you

weren't thinking

about it.

And what I'm saying is, you know, the education is out.

There are many people who are having those conversations and have had those conversations.

The fact in the matter is, when you young,

When you mature and when you owe you still gonna want that so you can have all the talks in the world is still incumbent on that those two individuals to make And

that's why the age of concern is 18 because because even though you're a biological adult You're still a child right in your thinking

And look, and somebody just brought a good point.

I wish that there were grown-ass folks who would be that conscious.

But that ain't the case even with soap.

The question becomes our outlook.

And part of it is how, again, how we're taught about sex.

If we talk about sex from a moral perspective, then that's how people are looking at it.

We're not looking at the biology.

What's the primary purpose for having sex?

Procreation.

What is the consequence of one having unprotected sex?

Pregnancy.

Then we get into diseases for pregnancy.

So then what does that mean?

That means that we have somebody who's not prepared to raise a child, but who has a child.

Okay.

And so I don't know, and I hear all of this, but I just think that if you want to have this conversation, no, let me rephrase that.

When we have this conversation,

Uh, I was part of a group through Planned Parenthood.

It was trying to put together a curriculum of healthy, what was it, uh, self-sex health, uh, sex education.

And it was hard because we dealt with the church and in spite of all of the church's teachings.

Okay.

It that that has fallen on deaf ears.

Hormones speak louder than theology.

I'll say it one more time.

Hormones speak louder than theology.

You are not just

like you said, write out is that human nature is powerful.

And so you really can't restrain it, right?

But you have to teach responsibility.

You have to teach the results, the consequences.

Are you going to be prepared to do this thing, not just for a year, but for 18

years and

for 20 years

going down the road.

And

that's the message that's not.

But we know what 18 years down the road looks like.

A 16 year old does not.

And so it's an abstraction.

But no, but it's an abstraction.

To them when you're talking about a man, do you know you have to raise that kid for 18 years and they've lived 14?

The math says I don't have a constant and then because this is what human beings will do.

It happens to everybody but me.

Yeah, exceptional people, right?

How many do how many do and I know have gotten caught up in drugs because everybody else got addicted.

I won't Yes, you will

So, you know, I mean, it's a hard one.

I think it's also where you are, you know, our sexual behavior, our self-esteem.

There's a lot of things going on.

Self-control too.

I mean, everything, you know.

But I'm just saying, but there's a lot that goes into our whole thing.

And so we had these conversations around sex, around sexuality, around sexual identification.

We need to deal with the science.

This is Keith.

And then, you know,

After a while, once you know how it works, I think the other thing is how do you raise the self-esteem of a child?

13 is tough.

I don't know if anybody has ever been 13.

I've been 13.

13 is hard.

I mean, one of the kids came up and he was just down.

He said, what's that?

He's 13, right?

I had to be honest with like, dude, 13 sucks.

But 13 ain't forever.

But it sucks still.

It ain't suck for me.

It ain't suck for me.

the exception

to the

rule.

But at the end of the day,

we're all going

to go through something.

And that learning curve ain't no escaping that learning curve.

It's

more involved in the investment of time on the adults that are in those children's lives

if they're

even in them.

I think the other thing is when you put people

And I was just thinking about this.

I don't know.

I was driving racing last night.

Hey, I saw Will Martin sign down racing.

I was driving for racing last night.

I said, you know, one of the things about us is that, as you just said, how do you think about the thing?

But then I also got, and I was watching these kids, and they were involved with organized sports.

Because when kids are in things, in positive things,

It is very different than when you, as you just said, leave them on their own devices.

Yeah.

Because guess what?

Because DJ is the leader of the group.

We can really do something stupid because at that point it didn't because DJ has a story.

And for all of us, does this resonate with anybody?

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Does that resonate with anybody that's listening?

Even now when I sit back and look at my life and some of the stuff that I've done.

I sit back and was like, man, that's stupid.

Even though at that particular time, we thought, ah, man, this is amazing.

Oh, like

that girl?

Man, that wave Nouveau, man.

I mean, man, I want to be pretty Ricky, man.

I want to be Tubbs off of my life.

I want to be Tubbs.

Man, I done put in some clothes.

It seemed like a good idea until I

walked out the crib.

Hey, man, I had a snakeskin suit.

I had a whole lot of dough

When I walk

in the church, I walk in the church

looking, looking foolish.

But again, I didn't care.

Whatever I did, I was going

to care.

No, no, I didn't care.

So you care what you got to reaction?

No, because I, I, I, this is for me.

So like, I, I actually, you know, did some stuff and I still went to church because I was like, regardless of what I'm doing.

I'm still going.

Somebody said we need a

female voice

here.

Sit on the couch

and call

in.

You realize that a

lot of

our

youth are operating out of just being conditioned.

And let

go.

And it gives evidence to what is said in the description.

A child left to themself is going to do crazy stuff and bring shame to their parents.

If we're going to have a female voice,

then we're gonna need them to be 100 because them girls, because them girls want to be just as much as them boys did, you know?

Whenever

you sneak in to her

house,

she had to

let you in.

And she knew what was gonna happen before you got there.

Because she gave you the, no, everybody's equally

there.

No, there

ain't nobody for you.

But your toes, your toes, like she let

him

in.

Because we always talk about boys will be boys and boys being men and stuff.

And it's like the boys just forced the girls to do this.

No.

No.

It goes

both ways.

Some of

these women are more aggressive than men.

Like now.

Did that just start?

No, no, no, no.

No, but I'm saying, but now it seems like it's more of a forefront now because you got a lot of women now that would tell you.

Nowadays, I don't want a relationship.

I just want a situational shit.

Okay.

And that just

goes to- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold on.

Let's, let's, let's, let's take.

You got a problem with that?

I didn't say I had a problem

with it.

But

I'm just saying, that's, that's what women are saying.

She didn't even call you in the morning.

What

I'm saying is- You ain't bothered by it.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, go back to that question.

Did you go back?

Yeah.

No,

he

couldn't

go

back.

What he's saying is a continuum of the downfall of society.

That's

what

I'm

saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's

what

he's

saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's

what

he's saying.

That's

what he's saying.

That's

what

he's

saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying.

When Philip Bailey talked about reasons.

Oh,

yeah.

Now wait a minute.

You know whose feelings was hurt?

His.

Well, Frankie Beverly

say, after the morning.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But when she don't call you the next day.

No, that is true because, no, that

is true.

Who tripping?

We are because normally it's us and they're like, well, why you don't call after you?

When they flip that script?

Yeah.

When they flip that

script?

After you, you fire yourself, board up in your bed, don't you?

In the field.

Remember on Big Rain?

You know, Robin, he left him the

$200.

With

the shoes on

the other foot, with the shoes on the other foot, you all called in what they see

right now for two weeks, right?

So you just gonna do this to me and not call me?

And it

all goes back to- You love me tomorrow.

Hey, if it's something that you want, you're gonna figure out a way to get it.

Yeah, that's true.

Because, you know-

It's been some very strict parents.

You know,

you know, I gotta meet everybody who come into this house.

I gotta meet everybody

who you are involved

with

and maybe no

shenanigans happen in the house.

It could have happened in the car.

No,

that is true.

You know what I mean?

It's always

gonna be

something so you just have

to

have that conversation with them and then you just gotta trust that, you know,

they

are able

to make a responsible decision when they're on, because at the end of the day, as a parent, your children are going to be away from you more than you're with them.

So when you're with them, it's just important that you give them

the necessary knowledge in order for them to know,

be able to discuss.

I'm going to say this.

How many y'all took their bicycle ride at eight o'clock at night when they parents in that home?

Never.

You know

what they created?

Forbidden fruit.

Right.

Forbidden fruit drives

behavior.

When we're not supposed to do it, we only want to do it more.

Yep.

And so how we talk about it, we just want to do it more.

That is the temptation like, oh man, you know, now if it was just wide opening you, uh-uh, when they like you got a, it was a. Don't

eat that last piece of

cake up

in that plate.

Yeah.

And then don't you find yourself opening up the refrigerator.

Why not?

I'm gonna

be back that's safe for my birthday.

Yeah.

Grandma made that

cake.

Don't

eat.

Here come the enemy.

Eat it.

Eat it.

It was good, wasn't it?

It looked good.

When she, when she thinks it

felt okay, eat it.

I'm

just gonna eat it.

And then it's gone.

What if it's gone?

Taste it faster.

And then you find yourself eating a little bit.

Now it's like, okay, I can't put it back because I ate.

They saved it for a reason.

It must be good.

I

can't

think of yesterday.

Yesterday, man.

I left here exhausted, right?

I said, I had nothing to talk about this morning.

Wrong.

Wrong.

Let's see if there's any women in the chat as we go to

break.

Don't hide behind the typing.

I want to hear what you got to say.

Who you snuck in?

That's what I wanted to know.

Right.

Who you snuck in?

Because

I know I've...

Here's the difference.

Here's the difference.

Here's the difference.

Here's the difference.

And we need to learn this.

Women don't talk.

Okay,

all right, I'm

gonna prove

my point.

We're gonna go to

break

any women call yet

It

consistency of life

Caller.

Hope

you ignore the

giggles.

But you're in there.

Thank you for your

patience.

Welcome to the program.

Good morning.

Good morning.

You know, first thing I want to say, I think the inner city of Milwaukee is going down the toilet.

and it's starting to look like the slums of Rockford.

We know downtown is just upside down, and I'm gonna ask you this, because I think when it comes to our people, and we're not talking about white people today, we're talking about people who look like us, who has the free will.

I think with downtown, since people have the free will, and people don't know how to act, I think they should get $2,000 tickets and no trespass orders for a year and a half.

When it comes to 25th and Capitol where there's absolutely dirt,

garbage, no grass.

They see the clothes they're building down because you know there's always some derelicts, some trenches, some drifts.

There's either somebody sitting there drawing or somebody out there fighting and they draw or some families probably fighting over dope because pretty much the people look like they don't work.

Then when you look at the gas station up the street from you where the prostitutes and the whores can sell at that snatch looking like big naughty with the

lying and going down her feet and looking like she's from Iowa.

A

lot of this though, man, is survival, dude.

That ain't black people.

That's just survival, man.
