because man they got so off yesterday. Yeah but it is much more than because. Right. Why are you coming today or not yesterday? You know yesterday we had flooding the biblical proportion. It was crazy. Yeah, I was going to have to call my lawyers if if if I had to go through that today. Bro, it was so crazy man. My video went viral and channel six actually showing my video like man, you got a hundred and twenty-some thousand. Hey man, I can't help it. I'm that dude man.

Don't hit on my sauce. I gotta I gotta see that. Yeah. Don't hit on my sauce. My sauce. I got that sauce. I saw I saw my shells. What that is? What is it? That's cute, man. What's that? Huh? What that is?

That's that's legit right there. No, I'm setting up this video you swam across That was that was scary broke how the water was moving. Yeah, how the water was my feet didn't dry for two hours I would have changed socks. Yeah, and then I saw Michelle's I didn't see yours, but

Literally, this was a whole what y'all call it Lake WNLV and then literally maybe 20 feet later and ain't no water. That's crazy. It's just clear street. What if this was a Gwynne Moore sign? Yeah, that's what it was. Yeah, right there. Gwynne Moore. Yeah. That came from across the street. I hear it right here. Well, there's nothing right there. They'll go there by the gas station. DJ. Yeah.

It's right here in the right corner. Okay. All right. All right. Let's do it. He just said he didn't see so I was going to show him how the how the water was on the side. Okay. How that water was over here. Yeah. How it was over there because I had to move and when I was coming back

almost fell because that's what Michelle said. She had to move her car. Yeah. She's always parking. No, she's right here on the side. So, man, coming back now, keep in mind, man, I'm 250 something almost 206 some pounds. The water was moving me, bro up the street. That's how scary. You know, that's just a big teddy bear. You know, that's called that's called buoyancy. Yeah, it's going to be able to float.

It's 250, but it's more fluff. OK. Just like the Bible says, try me and see. See if I won't open the window puff. Try me and see, as the Bible says. Well, on Pokemon, it was this.

animal called jigglypuff jigglypuff jigglypuff

And when Z-group could turn up, oh, you know, it just took a long time. So, getting there. Yeah. You know, so, yeah. Oh, I turn up, though. I go in. But nothing really, nothing really takes over the water. Yeah. You know, water, water. Seeks its natural level. Yeah. And the lady that almost fell out there, like, she almost went underneath, man. It was kind of like, wow. It was...

Well, first of all, first of all, well, could he even so let's say he's big enough to Oh, so he was probably slim. Yeah, but still first of all, let's use common sense. You see that the water is high as a fool and that is moving. You still decide you want to drop now and that's what a lot of people was doing.

We sit here watching people drive through again stuck right in front. You see one person gets stuck. The next person that sent that the light would try the same thing. I was never that key. And I say this all the time when people say, you know, don't touch that that stove when it's hot, you know, it'll burn you. I was never that one. Well, I gotta find out. I gotta find out for my dear. I did that plenty times where I saw it was just a few cars.

I'm busting his U-turn. Thank you. Thank you. I don't even know what's going on, but I'm not about to find out. Somebody got to let it tell the testimony. You might as well be me. Can't nobody tell it like I can tell it. But you know what the thing I care about? I say, keep going. Why are you stopping? You ain't going to get no ticket. Just keep going. Clark, it's just like you had the movies. They can't hear you.

Go go to room they gon' kill you! They can't hear you man! You haven't been talking through this window! In their car! They can't hear you there! I know you! I know not to go to the movies with you! Where you going?

If you stop, it's a wrap. So if you do decide that you think you're going to do something stupid like that,

you got to go you got to go that one wouldn't happen because the water was killing these batteries it was coming spark plugs it was coming I mean cars was sitting over here and then the work and the money that you got to put in after your car get wet like that it's going to cost you right right

Hey, uh, Jermaine, yo, remember that one, that one white car defender? Yeah, that defender came off in the water. Well, hold on. Guess what? When I was on my way back to the station, I went home and changed my shoes. It was on the tow truck. Yeah, because the defender came loose from the water. You heard it. It was like, oh. They don't change shoes. All I shoes is wet. Everybody shoes is wet. Man, I'm leaving DNA in front of the thing. And those socks and those like, oh, yeah.

So, anyway, hey, y'all, man, the phone lines open 414-445-250-414-444-5250. Today is national cheese pizza day. Hey, hold on. I can write it out. Hold on, man. Yeah, cheese pizza. Well, you is two-fifty. Hey, I know. Two-fifty of muscle now. Don't get it. No. Don't get it twisted. Two-fifty of that. Two-fifty of that. Oh, that pow wow. All right, that pow wow. I grew out of cheese pizza as a kid.

I probably had a good three to four year run with cheese and then pepperoni, meat lovers, a piece of meat lovers. That would give me every time. No, pizza used to have the best pizza. I used to like pizza. I used to too, but they changed something. I don't know what it is. It's the same me. No, but they went to, they started competing with Domino. Yeah. Yeah.

Me yeah, they changed. It's the same me. Well, I don't know if you taste it how it was back in the day But for those of us that are a little older You can tell the tech that's just like McDonald's no difference No, but listen a lot older than me. How old are you? 33? Yes, and we ain't that far. Well, I ain't that far from what?

I just turned 50 playing, but I'm something like that's a lot. Amen. 50 is the new 20. That's a lot. What's that a lot about? 17 years? Hey, so that means I got so that means I got 17 years of tasting than you. So listen to a player. Tell me what I heard. I'll tell you what I know. That's what I'm saying. I'll tell you what I know. I agree with you. I'm just saying.

It ain't a little older than me. Come on, man. That's all I'm talking about. That's all I'm talking about. That's all I'm talking about. Disparancy, brother. You're the oldest dude in the room. What are you talking about with that old song? You're talking about not your old man conversation every Friday. Hey, this got me having to stick around. You know, back in the day.

You know I'm becoming more simplistic though because sometimes you can put too much on a pizza and you kind of kill the taste. Do you like pineapple? Really? I love pineapple. I like pineapple the fruit. Yeah, I don't like

Like a drink or a juice. Really? You know, yeah. Now, have you ever had pineapple or fruit? It has seeds. Does it have seeds? Yes, pineapple is a fruit. Yeah, I see. I see. Now, let me take all the advice that I do with dude Toby yesterday. Right, Google? Dude told me to Google it yesterday. He had this in Google. And he was wrong as a fool. I mean, we've always been taught that pineapple was a fruit. Now, you know,

Now, when you take the, or you know, when you take the pineapple and actually split it in the real pineapple and squeeze the juice out of it, you can tell that tastes compared to something that's been concentrated. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's, that's where all of the natural ones, you know, if you, what are, what are, I think it's called like cold pressed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like those are the more, the closest thing to as natural as we're going to get to. And, uh,

like not the sugar. Yeah. And the apple is actually be good too. Yeah. It's classified as a fruit. Specifically, a multi fruit or collected fruit. Yeah. Yeah, man. I love pineapples. I do pineapples in my blender. Oh, they say can y'all name the top five pieces? Oh, yeah. Oh, Sal's not doing it for me anymore. Okay. Yeah, that let me do mine. Let's do three.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know

I know what you're talking about. No, that ain't sales. I know what you're talking about. That monster pizza. No, it was right there on the corner right across from the guy replace. That was that place. The guy replace, man. We didn't have this conversation. He's gone every time, man. He's gone every time. I like Rockies. I like Rockies. Rockies is good. Rockies is good. What was that? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Rockies. Everybody that doesn't live here, whenever they come back to visit,

Rockies is one of the first things people say, you know, they gotta come and get it. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South. It's like a New York South.

where the lady said that they they don't rock with hubs no more. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because they switched the owners. Alright, Caller, welcome to the program. Good morning, you on there. How you doing? Good morning. Yes. Um, have you got a chance to hear about Dolly Parton? No, I heard they did something, but already. Yeah, it was really private. It was private. Oh, wow. Oh, okay. Thank you. That's all I need to know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they did that. It was really private. I mean, yeah.

So all of the year now I know that they said once she passed that she had cancer But they kept that under under the rug. Yeah, well, she said she cancelled her tour or like earlier this year It was earlier this year. Yeah, but how they how they kept it underneath the rug was amazing because it didn't get out until after she passed

Hey, shout out to the city, man. You know, it ain't like yesterday. You know, you can definitely show us that they should have been over yesterday. You still got to give better late than never. No, Doc, listen, I saw the art go down capital. It was going to Walmart. I know it was driving the architecture. Better late than never, man. Better late than never. It was a biblical prophecy. It really was. It was driving the art. Better late than never, man. It's in Walmart. Do you think?

know that when we get weather like it's God's punishment, it gets severe weather or earthquake or tsunami. But there have been studies and research that a lot of the stuff be orchestrated too. An earthquake is orchestrated? Well, yeah, you can actually make it rain.

make it rain. So, if you could make it rain and I think you could do anything. Condemned movies, movies have shown us that they actually make it snow. Yeah. So, if you could do one thing, I'm pretty sure they teeter with some other things too. Yeah, because you know, deep down underneath the water, if you go deep enough to the servers and do something to that server. Well, they create clouds and crowd and crowds and and clouds, you know, the more of them, the moisture in the air creates rain. So,

How about it's just nature? No, that's true, too. I'm saying, I mean, I don't know, we're not disagreeing. What I'm saying is we so far into it where we really don't know what it is, man. We don't know what it could be nature. It could be them messing with the stuff and it could be a little bit of both. Yeah, I mean, you can most definitely manipulate it to the point that it's doing

stuff that is unusual like with the snow falls and and and the stuff that's happening. I forget the I forget the town but I believe it was in the south and this was done in the thirties between the thirties and the forties where this town had a really long drought and so what they did was they created these clouds in order for you know those farm fields and stuff to

to get get some water. See the clouds and then boom. Water can't. No, I mean rain can't. No, I can believe and this and this was over 50, 60 years ago. No, I can believe that because through creation, you know, you can create anything because they got it out there and that and that a cloud way and cannot create nor destroy matter. Well, that's true. But how but how would they know how much a cloud weighs?

Or you can go and science helps you with that. Yeah, but you would have to weigh it though. So what you would, because I hate science. So what do you, what do you describe? What do you hate science? What do you describe as matter? What's the, what's the definition of matter? Matter is this table. Matter is you. A solid. It could be a solid, it could be a gas, it could be a liquid.

so you can create that didn't didn't have you you don't hear atlas explain that you know so so you just said that you can't create it but you can't create gas yeah and liquid you can't you can't go out here and say I'm going to create gas you got to have something plastic in order to do it plastic you can use plastic it's still a creation

Yeah, it's for creation. So you can use plastic and change that over from plastic to gas. No, I need to understand. No, you don't want to understand. I do. I'm not arguing with you. I'm trying to understand. No, I'm not saying you're arguing. I'm just saying that you cannot create this. So you can't create a table, though.

You can create a table based on what's already here. You can't go in and create the materials to make the table. So it's a young man in Atlanta that just opened, well, he's trying to open his own gas station, right? He created gas from plastic. So I see what he said. It's the from part that you can create from plastic. You can create gas. But it has to be

just like with the plastic, you got to use something to create the plastic. See what I'm saying? So he's saying- Everything has a source and matter energy. Right. So, and we can't create energy. I mean, we can, but we can't as a separate- Yeah. I can make you mad right now. Uh-oh. And I create some energy. Uh-oh.

I could make you mad and that's energy. Yeah Don't I exist? Yeah

Okay, so then we're taking from something that already exists DJ. Yeah, but he's saying in between what you exist in him is opportunity so he can create It could be energy that was not there. Yeah, that could be formed. Yeah From from opportunity for me acting the fool an opportunity me trying to be an opportunity

You wasted all that money to go to college All right, welcome back Boy, he like he a pro back there. Hey man, I do this man. I do this. Have you guys when you have to call it?

I don't know if you've ever, and IT come in like you, like you understand anything they're saying. Well, and you have no clue. Just fix it, man. Well, I mean, for me, I like to ask questions because I want to know what's wrong. So I want to try to understand what's wrong. Because if you can get an understanding, you might not have to call IT if you can do it yourself. So if you can understand what's going on, you'll know. And then the way helps you, you know. So then when you end up having to call them still.

Well, at least you tried.

at least you tried. Now, calling them still is after you tried. We know the basics. Refresh, turn it on, have it turn back on, right? You know, check your settings real quick. We know the basics after that. But get them IT people, man, and let them alone. But it could be too, with some of them features, you can click some and not realize that you clicked something. That's why you go into the settings.

So, you know, before you call it like you go to the, you know, do you run down the list? We do that before. So once they get here, hey, man, I did X, Y and Z. Come on. But it took you to do it first. I called the IT. I feel so inadequate when I have to talk to them, you know, because they're making it sound like it was so simple.

And I'm like, dude, I did everything. I did everything. We've upgraded to Windows 11, you know, as our operating system. And I did everything. But there was something on my computer where they had to go in and do some resetting. And she was explaining to me about how this needs to talk to us. And they went in. I was like, oh, I hate Windows though, man. I hate Windows.

Man, that's why they get paid to do that. Yep. All right, uh as we kind of Here come the sun Here come the sun Here come the sun It's all right. Did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did

So question real quick. I just saw this on the news. So with them going against the flock cameras, is it too late because they already got your information? Supposedly flock is not keeping it, but I don't trust it. See what I'm saying? Because they say how they not keeping it when they be pulling people over based off that information. That's what I'm saying. So if it's already in a database line, I told you that. So why would they? So they it almost seemed like they had it for a minute to get everybody information and now they go away from it.

I really, they didn't come out more about the dude that went to Michigan. And when he came back, he was arrested. You don't remember that story? So it was a dude that went to Michigan and obviously Wisconsin is the lone state where marijuana is illegal. So they went to Michigan and he ended up

Going to the dispensary. Oh, I didn't hear about that. Yeah. Yeah. I did. Then on his way back, he got arrested. Yeah. They used the flop. Yeah, that's right. I don't do that and arrested him and caught him with all that. Yeah. And caught him. So my I just want to know was he already under investigation? I mean, they could spend it that way. Did they just pull him over because he came from a state that, you know, is is legal?

to have marijuana in. Well, that's probably watching them. Because if they wasn't watching them, then that's profiling like a mother. Like they now, now they, they, they got right, you know, but that's still bogus. No, but, but, but even if they was watching them, that's wrong because of where he went to and even when he went to and got the marijuana is legal. So you shouldn't watch me if I'm doing something legal. Ain't that like smuggling or? No, it's only.

cross, uh, state lines, something like that. They make up all these laws and something. But if I had a dispensary here, and if I was selling Delta 9, and if I had my Delta 9 coming in from somewhere out of the state, it's the same thing. Delta 9 is legal. But this is what I'm saying. Most dispensaries that you go to with Chicago and Michigan is Delta 9 that they sell into you anyway.

Yes, it is because I get it. Yes, it is. They're selling you cannabis. Delta nine is where they take what the THC, right? But you get a whole cannabis when you go to, I'm just saying the difference. I'm telling you what I get. Okay, well, I don't know why you would go all the way. Yeah, I get it. And it's legal. Well, you can get Delta nine here in this league. Because they're shutting the stores down here. Oh, okay. Okay. So that's why, first of all, I heard what you said. It's legal.

I heard what you said about Black TV, you know, and I don't disagree with you, but we not Black, and you're incriminating yourself right now. I'm not incriminating nothing because, hey, Delta Nine is legal. So when new people come to you, Delta Nine is legal. Hear me.

They're not going to come to me. My name is DJ. My name is DJ if they come to me. My name is going to be DJ. DJ, they're going to say, they're going to ask, is your name such something? I guess the question still is that Delta 9 will be here for at least a year. Why would you go across state lines to buy something that's perfectly legal here? No, what I'm saying is that when you're out of

When you're out of Wisconsin and you in Chicago or you in Michigan? Yeah when you go into these places They tell you that this is Delta 9 they have the signs up there and the reason why I was using Delta 9 is when I had surgery on my ankle They they actually told me they told me at the doctor Don't use the oxys because the oxys make me feel some kind of way and I would get sick

Yeah, so so I would get sick from that so it would really tear me up because I don't have a stomach line So he he told me he said if you want to deal with the pain get you Delta 9 and that would help you with the pain I get it all right But cannabis isn't right right cannabis isn't cannabis is right and Delta 9 is just taking the THC right that's from is that artificially created or is it

Yeah, I'm sorry. Either way, they arrested that man on suspicion. Right. And he, I mean, obviously he had it. Did he beat him? No, he had marijuana. Did he beat the case? I don't know. That's what I got to follow up with. They pulled him over and that's because what would be the probable cause. Exactly. That's what I was saying. What's the problem? And then if you go in the car, you have to have probable cause to search for drugs. Exactly.

I had heard a while back when they first with Chicago first got it. They was waiting on people. Yeah. Oh, no. It was. Yeah. It was it was it was sit there and wait for me because if they see you go past and coming back, they will pull you over just to see if you went to if you was the probable cause though. Yeah. And that's your color. Okay.

Now I know what the Supreme Court looks like but that's still unconstitutional. The thing is when they catch you with that They can charge you. Right. So That's how they just be getting away with anything man. It's a setup. It's it's going through the loopholes, bro It's a setup because 90 miles south is legal unless you're gonna be driving 60

No, I'm driving slow. No, but no, you know, so so then they can't they can't say that you were speeding because you know Yeah, a speed limit is 70. Yeah, a lot of people especially Coming from Chicago is doing 90. Well, yeah, that is true If you wouldn't that uh, if you wouldn't that left like I guess the question would be what a total waste of law enforcement

that you're pulling people over for personal use. Now, if I was driving someplace, I was watching this movie about these kids up in where they live in an Oregon or Washington state. And in Canada, you know, farmers just grow a whole lot of cannabis, right? And it's legal there, though. Right. And so the guys would go across, they figured out a way where they could cross the border, not in the car.

When the guy was over and the police pulled him over for a tail light, he said, you guys looking for cannabis? He said, yeah, well, let me give you the town that you go to. So it's one of those things where, and I don't know why Wisconsin is so slow on the uptick on this, is that 39 states, acts will, has some form of legalization of cannabis.

I mean, he a Republican, he would know. Because those are the people that's holding this up. I actually asked him. And he looked at me and was like, I don't know. Well, I think part of it was constant doesn't have the same financials motivations or incentives that other states had. No, because we have a budget surplus. Budget surplus is like $3 billion. So you can't make a monetary reason. Now people are making the argument for medical use. Capitalism, money, money, money. You know, people might jeep for that.

But then who's really pushing against legalization of cannabis in Wisconsin? The Tavern League. Now, I don't understand why the Tavern League believes that if people smoke weed, they're not going to drink. People do both. Yeah. I mean, you know, I mean, going to the bars and clubs, you smell the people come in before they get to drink.

except the Golden Nest. Carla, welcome to the program. Not anymore. There you go. Except the Golden Nest. Carla, welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. I've been using marijuana since about 1972. Raised a family. You know, right now I'm

on Social Security and I drive to Chicago three times a year. Great pleasure. And I use the pre-ways. I use the tollway. I go to Illinois, I give them my debit card. I mean, everything is on the up and up. I get a little paper bag and I stick it in the car.

the only way you can get stopped. I mean, just think of the technique. I mean, I'm there with about, I don't know, if you've driven to Chicago, you've noticed the increase in traffic, all right? And I mean, they'd have to spend a great deal of resources to catch me at that point where I'm actually holding this paper bag and going across

in the Kenosha and what are you going to get a ticket for possession? I mean, yeah, because I'm actually, well, I'm not sure what the rest of the land is. Yeah, it's the amount that you have, but they limit the amount that you can buy.

So it ain't like you can go down there and buy from the dispensary and come up here and set up your own little dispensary. Right, right, right. Like you can't go get a full, I mean, like ounces and pounds of it and then come back and try to sell it. So, you know, I think the dude was doing it. It was the sheriff of Kenosha, the derock. But I mean, but the reality is the Wisconsin just needs to stop being the island here when you have Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and it's all legal. So, you know, these are, it is crazy. We're the only one. Right in between.

Right. And they estimate about $33 million a year goes across the border. Yeah. You know, for people going there. I compared to my father going once a month. I'm pretty sure it's more. He goes to Chicago to get yellow margarine in 1963. Oh, I give you another one. Lottery tickets. Lottery tickets, yeah. How many years were people leaving Wisconsin to go buy lottery tickets in Illinois? Yeah. That's true. I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, because they felt like that they had a better chance of winning. And that is why you couldn't get a lottery ticket here. But I know I'm not only that, but people felt like that they had a better chance of winning. Once it became, you know, like national, but until Wisconsin got involved with it, people would literally go down to Illinois. And that's why I put this back on right out earlier.

when he said that y'all are a little older than me. Y'all a lot older than me, because that's something that I never heard of. Well, that's because she was a baby, though. You still wet behind the ears. Hey, call it with you, baby. Call it with you. But it ain't no little. It's a lot. It's a lot.

That's when you go to the phone booth after you got a page. Right. So the dope guy. Close the door to the phone booth. The dope guy. Your page is going off, okay. Next we're going to talk about government cheese. Something like do that told me the other day. No, that's apple pie. Was that your cheese? Told me that I look like I had a nickel, a nickel. A nickel bag? A nickel bag what I had on the other day.

All right, if it came in a broad package, it was more scenes than stems. But it was actually weed. You know what I mean? Be like stems and seeds. All right, I appreciate you, man. Call the work through the program. Good morning, Yonair. Good morning.

Uh, you're about to, you're about to get up and you're about to get gone. Hello? Uh, you sound like you're under some water. Can't get the rhythm of the struggle. Hello, we can't hear you, brother. I'm just waiting for y'all to get to know you. We can't hear you, man. Do you sound like a mumbler?

I said, we can't hear you. Do you have us on speaker? No, I'm not on speaker. You can hear me now. Now we can. It's way better than it was, bro. Okay. All right. I got you. Okay. Check this out. Now, you talking about this now want to deal, right? And the air that's coming to our community. Oh, man. Bye. Deep button. Why ain't go there? Hold on. Let's just let them finish me. I ain't gonna lie.

Hold on. We got to let him finish. No, yes, yes. We'll be talking about Juneteenth. Yeah. He comes in and talks about the one first nation people who was slow to release slaves. You know, that is such a song. But that was in Texas. Yeah, but the Eric's, what he was just talking about has nothing to do with what we used to talk about marijuana and going to Chicago in Michigan. You talk about the Arabs coming into our communities and come on man, stop it, Ben.

like stop like stop it bro this is his meat appreciate you and thank god because we have chicken because you dummy has anybody been to the heros no no because it ain't the real they said it was fake it ain't the real heros whatever that is it ain't the real one lovers man yeah it ain't the real one jack i know that for sure it's been a lot of posters said that they wouldn't really

How do y'all know? Because if you ever went down to Chicago constantly, like when we travel, that we stop at a place down in Chicago, they call it the garbage, just like we call it the garbage. No, it's a whole totally different taste, bro. It's a different taste. Why would it be a different taste? I don't know why. I don't know why. I can't lie though. When I lived in Chicago, I never had heros. I always had Uncle Remus. Uncle who? Uncle Remus.

Is they still around? Yeah. I think it's like a west side. I think Remus is like a west side. The reason why I asked that me and my guy go go, I don't want to go Uncle Remus. This weekend, we're supposed to go to Chicago. Okay. That's why I asked. Now, do me a favor, go to heroes, eat it at heroes, then come up here and eat it at heroes and let us know if there's a difference. I did that. I'm telling you, I did that. It's a hell of a difference. It's a hell of a difference from the season to how it was cooked.

We need a real Chicago. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'm telling you.

Yeah, we came right here. He was pertaining to your TACA and your death tonight and I was seen in the communities. See, first of all,

When I call him in, man, I've got commentary on what I be talking about. And I live a very fast life, and I don't play no moment slow. So if you can't keep up, that ain't my problem. No, that ain't the problem, man. We didn't want to hear you coming here, hating on an ethnic group, man. No, no, no, no, no, no. You just have nothing to do with Arabs. No, I was going through the dispensaries. We'll start there. How many, is there any black? Hold on one. Listen, man. First of all, you have to realize,

at the before before see the Delta the Delta 9 stuff is at this heated the THCA at this heat it gets off to suspect it gets you high right it's your bullets right okay because normally now because if you go in if the fans go in right now grab the stuff off the shelf shake it up the main tester it's going to show point three it's going to show uh zero point three it's going to show legal okay that you can have it in your store but when you light it and heat hits it

It gives off the fact that you get your buzz, right? You got it. So my question to you is this right here. Actually, I don't even have a question for you. The deal is this, man, what they did, remember K2, going to the K2 show, you don't know nothing about that, do you? K2 was synthetic. It was created. That's right. And who, hold on. Who was the major

Uh uh uh suppliers of that in our community. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

or obviously it wasn't illegal if it was if it was brought to the stores today because you have to go higher to the government. The government allowed that stuff. That's how they was able to actually order this stuff, man. You can't order illegal stuff and sell it in the store, meat. So stop trying to pitch it like that. You can't order. So that's just like you trying to order meat. You know what, man? But meat, but meat, there's hold on. You must be a shady smoker.

Hey, I ain't gonna lie. I don't know where he was going with it. Welcome to the program. I'm glad he called back though. And I'm glad I hung up on you this time. Good morning. Good morning. You in there? Okay. I just want to touch on that, uh, girls chicken thing up on Hollywood 100. Okay. Her location, uh, her chicken has 70 over 70 locations.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. When the cook came from the back and I saw who was cooking the chicken. I knew that when the rigid. Thank you. Who was going to take it? That's not her chicken. Anybody that made your own chicken from Chicago. No way to taste. Thank you. Thank you brother. I I appreciate you saying that. Thank you. Have a great rest of the day, fellas.

He says, y'all just didn't believe me. Who is y'all? Whoever didn't believe me. Yeah. Fall under that y'all. I didn't believe you said, no, we need a real person from Chicago. No, that's right. No, you didn't believe me. Everybody's been saying, everybody's been saying this fake. I'm telling you, you can, you can taste it if you know, you know, you can, that's, that's just like, and I'm gonna say it, just like friars and JJ's.

It's two different tastes. I never have fire unbelievable taste is is two different tastes same product, but two different tastes. Yeah, that's the offer 27 right? Yes, sir. You're listening to Community Voice. You just validated a ride house taste buds. So thank you, Carla scrumptious listening to Community Voice. We're going to take a quick break when we get back. We'll be inside the protege's perspective. Now it's time for the protege's perspective.

For the most part, we are caring, compassionate, and considerate people. We want the best for our family and friends. As you grow older, you begin to come into your own and experience life and everything that it brings, the lessons, the pain, the joy, and the relief. Throughout this time, many people pass along numerous tips of advice in an effort to help you prepare for what's next.

In the midst of all of the advice passed along, how to cope and how to help those dealing with grief seems to be left out. There are a lot of things that one can prepare for, but grief isn't one of them. In these times, we want to be there for our loved ones, even if we don't know what that means or what it looks like. In many instances,

grief comes knocking unexpectedly. On the other hand, when certain outcomes are expected, there is still no handbook on how to deal with grief, both as the one experiencing it and as the one observing it. As the person observing grief, often there is a period of silence, not because of indifference, but because of not knowing what to do or say. Remember,

that for the most part, we are a caring, compassionate, and considerate people. And in such traumatic times, we don't want to burden or lend frustration to those who are suffering. Ultimately, many of life's unsettling circumstances that arise are unexpected. And no matter what advice has been given or not given, it is still something

that will have to be experienced head on. In these times, you may feel hesitation to reach out due to the fear of appearing inconsiderate or even ignorant. But there is one lesson that I've learned in life that can be applied to assisting those dealing with grief and other life circumstances that may be daunting. That is, just because you don't know what to say,

Does it mean that you should stay silent? Speak up, lend a helping hand, and let them know that they are not alone wherever they stand. I appreciate you, man. Carla, welcome to the program. Good morning, you in there. Good morning. Good morning, young folks. You know, I was listening to you guys talking about the marijuana decay tool and all these things. You know what? The damage is done to our community mentally.

I've seen some people personally that have taken their mind, their brains all the way up there, still some serious mental ill issues behind it. And a lot of this marijuana, you know, and I've never seen this crazy deal with marijuana, as I see it today, you know, and they sell it in dispensaries, you know, and a lot of this stuff. As a people, we got

got to do something, because we got kids out here standing by the gas station, standing by them once, so they can roll up and, uh, got young folks, uh, persons and things, 20th of a month. And then I noticed, well, no, the lady, she was sitting on her porch and her son said, you're smoking with her, and he went no more than about 11. And what we're going to do with our society and our community, somebody got

grow up and do better. Did you smoke back in the day? I tried it, but it wasn't up. So you just you just have a problem because you don't like it. No, it's not that I don't. It's just don't like it. It's what it's doing to our people. What is it doing? What is it doing? I'm gonna tell you like this here. I know a young lady personally when she was 13.

Okay, that's a kid. I'm talking about adults. Kids should not be using it because of brain formation. All right, we got all of that. But I'm saying as adults, what is it doing? The same exact thing happened this young man. He moved to Florida about a year and a half. I'm not going to say no nice to family still live here. But he was a very young, dear friend of mine. And I talked to him one day, he pulled by my place and he was on the four wheeler.

And he said, I love this K2. I said my age shouldn't be focused on that synthetic method. So I just don't just like that. And it wasn't too much. He was in the mental health center. Yes, because K2 is synthetic. That's not marijuana. K2 is not marijuana. K2, K2 is really puppery and all that other stuff that's in the bag. It's not marijuana.

So you can't equate K2 to marijuana. K2 is going to mess you up. It's going to have you out there doing all type of stuff because it's synthetic and it's not weed. That's not weed. And they were saying the reason why they were smoking that because they got detected in their urine or whatever. It didn't show up.

But you can't blame that on marijuana. That's not marijuana. K2, that synthetic stuff, people were smoking that, that was on papers. Because if you go drop, it won't show that you have marijuana in your system. I think that you can lump all drugs with marijuana just because...

Don't they say that marijuana is a gateway drug? Once you start with marijuana, then you're going to move on. Can I respond to marijuana being a gateway drug? That was a lie used to justify, yes, most people who did heroin smoke marijuana, but the vast majority of people who smoke marijuana do not do heroin. So when people make that argument,

No, what I'm saying is that the vast majority of people do not use cocaine, do not use heroin, they do not graduate the heroin cocaine. That's not the case. That's propaganda. There one is physically not addictive. It's not addictive, bro.

It's what you're designing now. But it's not a, it's what you say? So it's what they, let's go here. It's what they wrap it in now. That's the battle for this. Doc, that's not true. It's the harvest. It's when you pick it, if you pick it at the right time, it's going to be strong. But anything can be addictive though. I don't, I don't know, I can't be addictive. And when you talk about addiction and that's the problem that people like, Keon pointed this out. Cocaine is not physically addictive.

Right? Cocaine passes from your system. It's a mental dependency. Either way, it has a hold on you. Okay, fool. The way that you have to. Okay, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Just because it's addiction, it don't mean that. It's a different. It's a different. It's like, fool. Fool can be addiction, but it's mine. It's in your mind. Right. Let me show this here. It's the rap that they rap the marijuana in now. That's the back effect was very addictive. No sir. Read it.

No, no, no. Not the wrap. It was inside of the wrap. They take the tobacco outside of the wrap. That's what's causing the cancer. It says on the package. It's the tobacco inside the nicotine that's inside of the cigarillo. It's not the wrap. The wrap is a leaf man. If something grabs on, if something grabs on to that dopamine and it causes you to desire it,

often. Well, I'm not even gonna say however, but just say often. That in tune develops addiction. It don't, it don't, it don't matter what, what you talking about. Oh, marijuana is not addictive. Uh, alcohol ain't addicted. Whatever you say, if people, but no, but what I'm, what I'm saying is, if you can't do that, but if you begin to desire something often,

You like chicken, right? You desire chicken every now and then. If you stop eating chicken. Okay. Okay. Okay. What happens when I stopped doing marijuana? No, no, people be crazy. That's not true. That's not true. That's not true. Well, I want to ask a question about the, uh, you know, he said about the mother sitting on the, on the, uh,

I think that you have a problem even letting your kids drink under 21 or under 18. The difference between the kids using marijuana and the adult using marijuana is it has a different chemical reaction to the brain.

That is the difference. That is why people are saying this. Now look, with cross-polarization, because people say they, what was the word they used, like the same thing as heroin? What are you doing? What's the term that... No, no, no. What was the term, though, that they use when they wake up?

you're breaking down the cocaine so you can step it up. Step it up. You know, if you step on weed, that would be back in the day when I was coming along and people put the angel dust on the weed. Or, or, or, right? I mean, I was soaking in like Hennessy. They were soaking in Hennessy. No, just not. The people, the people saying that this ain't no gateway. It's not a gateway. It's not a gateway. It's not a gateway. It's not a gateway. Hold on, hold on, hold on. People, people put angel dust on.

on weed. We didn't cause the gateway. It's what you put the same drug or a different drug. It's not the same drug. We just don't even consider a drug. Federal government is considered. They just changed it because it was considered a schedule one drug. Why was it considered a schedule one drug? Go back to the 60s in the war, the war, the so-called war on drugs. They targeted hippies and militants because they had a tendency to smoke weed.

It had nothing to do with like when you talk about the impact of cocaine, if you talk about the impact of heroin, barbiturates, think about all of the legal substances that you can get high with. Alcohol being the number one. And here's the difference. When I try to get off of alcohol as alcoholic, I'm going to have withdrawal. Yes, sir. I'm going to go through physical kind of, my body is craving for it. And my body doesn't crave for marijuana. And why that's not illegal. No, no, no, no, no.

I guess they clean the grease more.

Are they owned by Palestinians? Yeah. Big sharks? Yeah. Big sharks. I didn't know that. But hold on. Call it. Call it. Call it. Call it. You had said something a while a minute ago about a bombing fluid on the. Yeah. They're called a charm. When they dip it in, they're called a charm. And people was actually dying from that because it was blowing up their heart.

I actually had a guy that had died on a basketball court playing ball. But they were trying to make it as potent as possible because it's going to cost all kind of things going on in your brain.

And it ain't from the weed, it's from the barman fluid and the stuff that they put on it that you're having all of these mind effects from. Well, the one thing about the whole matter is young folk is that they find ways to destroy and distract us and keep us all in a bad situation. We don't need none of it. You go drink you some water and some real Kool-Aid ain't probably that bad. Not the real Kool-Aid.

I don't understand that. That's what it's like. It's like speeding up your heart and slowing it down at the same time. So, now, your heart get confused. Oh, man. That's not good for your body. That's not good. Alright.

Oh, neither is we. Way better than I thought. Call a welcome to the program. You gonna die from something? Call a welcome to the program. Hey, good morning. Good morning. When I was six years old, I took a puff off of a cigarette from above, but there's someone that thrown down. Since that date, I haven't had another puff of a cigarette. What's the benefit?

But either cocaine, heroin, or marijuana. People want to alter their consciousness. People have been altering their consciousness. Mushrooms. I mean, what is beer? What's the benefit? I don't know if it's a benefit. I think it's an indifferent act unless you abuse it.

There's no benefit. There's no deficit unless there's either abuse. I think I think I think all drugs I mean even if we take it even if we take what is prescribed to us Yeah, it is used to numb. Yeah, whatever pain. Yeah, or feeling that we are trying to avoid Yeah, so when it comes to alcohol when it comes to weed or mushroom or whatever It's used as some of

I would just say like a numbing cream or a numbing ingredient. Except for medicinal reasons, what's the benefit? I'll tell you. I'll tell you. There you go. To numb it. Pain. Yeah. Pain management. Because when I had surgery. After that numbing, is the pain still there? Yeah. Well, it helps you deal with it until the pain heals, until your injury heals. Sometimes when it's done, when that numbing is done, it comes back.

I mean, hold on, hold on, hold on. Well, I mean, I'm just gonna use as my example. I had surgery on my ankle, okay? Taking oxys is too strong for my stomach. I don't have a stomach lining, so it would make me sick. The doctor told me himself, he said, who? The doctor, himself. He told me. The DLC? DLC is stupid, though. No, he told me himself, he said that you can get the cream, you can get the cream.

you can get the seed or you can, if you prefer smoking, you can smoke it. But it would help you with your injury. It would help you deal with it until your injury heals because, of course, the body got a hill on its own. Ricky Williams said that that was one of the main reasons why he smoked marijuana was to deal with his injuries. It wasn't because of him being a smoker.

And then the four people that don't have. Is that a prescribed medication? Yeah. You can get it prescribed. You, you can get it prescribed based on a conversation I'm hearing. Hold on. Hold on. Listen. So I'm just so, just for clarity. Uh, so you, you don't do anything to inebriate yourself. No. Okay.

So do you take time off? I know how to function this. Do you take time off? Hold on. What did you say? I said I'm going for 88 years in this community. I have been in most of the places that most other people have been. I've not needed those things to be part of my beneficiary package. But what about for people who just really just might enjoy

a drink from time to time or a token from time to time. What's the problem with that? I think if it's not a problem, that's okay. But when it becomes a problem, the rest of us have to deal with it. Could that be anything? I heard somebody talk about food.

which is probably one of the more abuse substances that we have in terms of our diet. Yes. Oh, yes. Food can be detrimental to you, too, if you overdo it. So then so it's a question. So then is it a question of abstinence or a question of moderation? I'm asking about it from a benefit standpoint. Well, I gave you one answer. Well, that's just like if you have a headache, you take the drug aspirin or Tylenol.

to benefit you, it takes away from, it takes away the headache. That's the benefit of that drug. But if you overdo it and take too many of it, it can harm you. And then also, you know what I found out? What's that? You can take up to 3,000 milligrams of Tylenol and a negative effect. That blew my mind. I was like. But also, even if you just take it to, you know, some people are nervous for a certain test or a certain

Maybe even a date, right? A lot of people would smoke a little weed because maybe that may calm them down. So some people may take a shot. Some people may take a shot to come. It's a it's a myriad of reasons why people do these things. It's not a one size fits. So I agree with you on that basis. There are a million reasons that people do what they do.

I'm trying to find out the benefits to it. Well, I think it would be a bolder individual if I'm going in and I'm trying to settle myself.

I mean, you know, benefit is subjective. What is it? One man's meat is another man's poison. I mean, it's kind of hard. And I think the problem, this is the libertarian in me. The libertarian in me says that, wow, if you not hurt anybody else, and that's what you choose to do, but we could argue that in some ways, all of us will do something that could not necessarily be beneficial that we do on a regular.

You know, so I mean it's one of those things and I understand that there's some people really want to drug alcohol-free society That's cool, but I'm just saying when you look at the overwhelming number of people for example who use liquor do not abuse it Would you would you agree with that? Well, since I know so little about taking like drinking liquor I can't count it on it. No, all right, but I can tell you why I don't drink liquor Because I saw what it did to my father, right?

And I knew I didn't want to go through those trials and tribulations. And I didn't have to if I didn't drink liquor. There you go. Because you don't become an addict until you try it. OK. Well, I tried to do that. I didn't become an addict on that either. No, no. What I'm saying is, but most people don't, you know, I'm not addicted to it until I try it, right? And then that's when the whole chemical thing or the psychological thing kind of kicks in. Appreciate you, man. Are some chemicals more addictive than others? Yes.

Okay. Yes. Do you want a cigarette? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the nicotine that's in the cigarette is what makes it addictive. Sugar. Sugar. Yes. The tobacco that's in it. Yeah, but the difference between a cigar and a cigarette is cigar is all natural. They don't add anything to that. It is tobacco.

where cigarette has 400 chemicals in it. $2,000? Yeah, I mean, you know that. And so because cigarettes. Right. Cigarettes are designed to be addictive, right? They're designed. That's why like they burn out, right? Because you put a chemical in there to make it burn because you burn it out. You have to do another one. So that's been the whole thing in terms of how people get in. But

like for the use of alcohol you know we the use of alcohol goes back as long I mean you know when I know as a Baptist people were uh there wasn't four minute wine it was four minute wine because wine especially red wine and there's some people will tell you there's a medicinal benefit from drinking you know a glass of red wine a day blood you know so

I think it is great. It's not the existence of something. It's how people use it that becomes the issue. And now that comes down to the individual. All right, man. Let me appreciate you. We gotta go to a break. No, we got no. Oh, sorry about that. Thank you. All right. Call it in the break or? Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it because he's been waiting. Call and welcome to the program. Good morning. You're in there. Hey, what's up, brothers? All right, yourself. Hey, beautiful show. Beautiful show. Thank you, brother. Hey, Lip.

Hey, let me tell y'all something that's funny, though. I had a back problem, so I went to a chiropractor. But my doctor gave me some pain pills. I said, everybody was talking about pain pills. Don't take that. Thread, fire, and all that. So once my back got healed, man, I took one of them pills. Man, I felt good. That's what is designed to do. I put the whole bottle. You know what was crazy?

When I went to the chiropractor, he explained to me like, when you do an ice pack or a heat pack, it sends a signal to the brain. Okay. And then the brain says the pain doesn't exist. But as right now, point out as well as the injury is there, there's still going to be pain, right? So as soon as that ice pack wears off, guess what happens? The pancakes right back in. Cause the pain is an indicator that the body is trying to heal, right? Yup.

And I saw there's just a little progress in terms of my back where it went from, you know, painful all the time to as I got stronger as I began to heal, less pain, right? Less pain. Let me say one more thing before I let y'all go. I got friends right now, him and his wife, they go get them.

big old box of Skittles and they take all the wrapping out and the um and gummy bears and they go wherever you can buy all that stuff from and repackage it in the hotel and bring it back to Milwaukee, man. It's crazy, man. A lot of people prefer the gummies. They prefer the gummies. Yeah, they get the Skittles and the gummies, but you can they ain't coming here. Oh, it's definitely delayed. It's delayed. What's your mouth? No. Alright, brothers. Y'all have a good one.

That's the problem that people have with it that where others might be maybe two to three Do y'all take gummies? No, I didn't inhale. I didn't do gummies. Okay, Karl. Well, let's do this. Let's go to break the community voice and run out the car get my gummies

They have been deadlocked one do one one jurors holding out

The defense is trying to get them to throw that juror off. The problem is, if he just throws it off, then the B8, they're gonna, they're gonna appeal his decision. So he's in a, what, what, what, what trial is this? This is the one that killed, killed three. Oh, she gotta go, man. And you guys can't be pleading insanity. No, but she got, she had some real serious. That's kind of hard for me. Postpartum issues. I mean, though, you send the husband away. So you knew what you were doing.

Right. You send the husband away to, like, come on, man, because she knew if the husband was there, the husband would have stopped her. But see, that's something that we don't, they just did something at the state level where they're extending medical care for women postpartum. Postpartum is after birth of a child.

Women go through something called postpartum depression. It is real because the body is going through all these things and now the baby And so but she was already dealing with certain mental illness already So the postpartum they showed and then to the point she tried to kill herself That's why she's in the wheelchair because she jumped out a window and paralyzed her She knew what she did because she knew she was gonna go to jail for the rest of her life I tried to kill myself too I would not want to be on that jury because

Was she what that driver saw that uh that old white man when they was fishing? And he said lock him up. Oh, yeah. Yeah lock her up man. She had come a sister jump off the window. Yeah justice has to be mitigated and what I mean is that we can be very absolute about it. She killed three kids and everybody go well now. I'm not saying there shouldn't be any consequences for it, but at the same time a person's mental state.

goes a long way in trying to explain why something happened. And even though you had someone who, look, there's a woman- So how did they find out that she had mental issues? There's a woman that I grew up with. We did not know that she was dealing with certain mental challenges. She killed her daughter, right? Now we're sitting up, but then when you began to understand, she was dealing with mental health. Sometimes the collateral damage is that people were dealing with mental health episodes

We'll do it to somebody in society. So so she having mental issues before she had her three kids because you had common sense to lay down and have sex to have these kids. Sex is basic. I get it. But you got common sense, though. Obviously, a whole lot of I get it. No, you say you get it. Let me finish my sentence. Then see if you still get it. OK, that, you know, I wish that people were so mindful.

when they had sex about every possibility and the consequences, but sex wasn't designed for us to do it that way. No, what I'm saying, I get it, but she had common sense to lay down and have three of these. That ain't common sense. That's biology. That's sex drive. That's a different piece. Addiction. Per Tiger. And Eric Bernay. No, I'm just saying that it...

We the the biology is important. We dismiss it as if and then we always do it postmortem, right? Because if we set up and talked about how did I get into this relationship? Okay. It wasn't really thought out. It was dry passion. Passion is the void of reason. Yeah, it is. So what do you think drove her? I don't know. And that's that that's that's that's what I'm saying now.

You have to sit there and watch the trial. I don't know. There was a lot. But they showed the amount of medication this woman was on. And then here's the other piece of it. We have people who are having children who probably should not be having children. So do you think men at the state failed the kids? Because I'm sure that if she was getting all the. No, no, no. I get it. But what I'm saying is, if she was prescribed all of this medicine,

for her mental state. Do you believe in that the state failed to protect the kids? Because knowing that this person is dealing with it, there's no way of knowing. But I'm saying about for her being prescribed all of these medicines. That's between the doctor. So, again, in her. Well, TMZ just said it's declared a mist trial. Yeah. Oh, she's going to get off. It's a mist trial. What do you mean? No, but.

I'm saying she's going to get up, but they were saying that they weren't going to let it die, that they was going to try to try her again. I mean, if it's a mistrial, you can do it again. Well, it's up to the DA to figure out if they want to bring it. And they sound like they do. I don't know. When we talk about this issue around mental illness, but here's the thing, because we are

animals. We still have some of these basic things, these basic drives. Call her. Welcome to the program. Good morning. You're in there. What's going on, brothers? What's happening, man? Why are you all talking about it? It was just the core of the mist trial. Yeah. Yeah, I just said it because, uh, TMZ had just said it. Yeah, yeah. When you were going to get up after the second time they got pushed back into the, you know, that was going to be automatic. And it was only 11 votes to win.

Yeah, it was already going that way. Yeah, I wonder if it was in favor of Equito, if it was favor of finding her guilty. I think it was favor of her because the defense wanted that run juror gone. So why would they fight for that? Yeah. Yeah, I think, you know, and that's what I'm saying.

it's hard for us because we go like because allegedly we all have and I put in quotations common sense but anything can happen and and there are people out there who really dealing with mental health challenges and if that person is I mean we're saying it in the White House right now. Was that common sense for her to be like

Oh, I did this. And I should try to come myself. And OK, this is really confusing. But you had common sense to see your husband go do an errand and then go killing kids. Oh, that's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. She knew what she was doing. That's premeditated. Yeah, you sent your husband to go do an errand. So you won't be there while I kill these kids. That don't sound like. That don't sound like.

It's that sounds like you wanted to do you knew what you was doing. You knew what you was doing Yeah, and then to run from what you did that is the mental illness been driven by the mental illness How much of that is driven by the mental illness? Okay, okay, let's do it this way if she was brash that car would have been over with it, right?

Now, I don't know how this is to get into this. It's always good to work, man. This is the justice system. You know how it goes. Okay. What if she was black? Would you give her the same benefit of the doubt in terms of her mental illness? You gotta go too. You gotta go too. You gotta go too. Okay. Yeah, well, hey, you do. You give her the benefit of the doubt. Can she gotta go? Yeah, I'm just saying if the woman is dealing from mental illness, you cannot be held to the same level of accountability of people who are not.

Again, like you say, it come all the way back to race. I didn't say that. Y'all said that. You do say that, Keith. You say that all the time. No, he say always go back to slavery. That's what he said. Oh, slavery. OK, OK, OK. And slavery had a lot to do with race. So to your point, it had to do with race. Thank you. Thank you. All right, man. And any of it, did you see the Georgia Tech Colorado game yesterday? The Colorado win?

Yeah, I didn't see it, but I heard about it. Yeah. No, he's doing a stay just in case. So he's staying the mist trial for one hour. It becomes official in one hour. It becomes official in one hour. Okay, last last thing, but since she's in a wheelchair and she's going to get off now, who's going to have to take care? She's not going to get off. She's not going to get off.

the state is going to try. No, the state's going to retry the case. And if you already said she's going to get off, then that's the reasonable doubt. There's a different standard that that, you know, for criminal, it has to be beyond a reasonable doubt. But if people are having some questions about whether or not she fully understood what she was doing, but I don't know until we actually get more the transcripts and then once they go in and pull the jurors, she knew what she was doing.

I appreciate you, man. Call her. Welcome to the program. Good morning. You're in there. Hey, what's up, folks? Hey, what's up? All right. Real quick, anybody that has a kid, a child, try thinking about killing a child. You can't get there unless something's wrong with you.

This is that simple guys. I know we went through it. It doesn't seem right. And there's something how as people, we want our power to flesh. We want to get her. What can you do to somebody who killed their own child and the one that they burst? But you could say that for anything because to kill a human being,

Some got to be wrong with you. You got a different relationship with your child. And he's talking about she being a mother bone to bone flesh of my flesh, right? Yeah. And you know what? And that's why I always had a problem with Abraham going to sacrifice Isaac. You know, I mean, that's problematic for me. And thank God that there was a ram in the bush. But and then it gets down to it doesn't. Like I said, because I know someone very personally where she killed her daughter because she was hearing voices.

Right. I mean, you know it that Until you kind of been in that situation have been exposed. Have you all seen a movie primal fear? Yeah, he faked it He faked it, but there are a lot of people out here a faking it man. I mean they got some real mental Mental health issues. They really do a good movie by the way Think about it

something stops you when you're in your right mind. I can't even, I can't even have that thought. I can't even have that thought. But then it goes to say, I'm not going to work it out because I'll probably kill you. I'm that angry. So when you're that angry and you just suspend judgment at that point because it's a passion. So at least some people have, let me step away from this for a minute.

because I'm getting ready to get in. Most of us don't know how to disengage when we find ourselves in these stressful confrontational situations. Yeah, and then I just wonder, they're little ones, man. It's just, y'all need to try to understand, it's totally different. I know we want to get them because they did something that we didn't like, but the woman needs some help. She's going to get that help in the penitentiary.

No, that's what happens when you do wrong. Consequences come. Yeah, I wish we were that black and white. Yeah, exactly. No, because when I was sitting up and thinking about the smart case in South Carolina, when she killed the two kids because the dude she was dating didn't want kids, now that's a different thing, right? That's a different thing. Here's the other thing. It's a myth.

that parents automatically love their children. That's a learned behavior. That postpartum rejection is real, right? And then people get to the point like, okay, and then it's a weird thing with human beings in terms of where we are. Like I said, unfortunately you can have mental health challenges. That's why they sterilized the Kennedy daughter who was in the

down with the nuns down in southwestern Wisconsin, I think that was Kathleen or Catherine, one of the Kennedys. They had to go in and sterilize her. And Catholics don't believe in sterilization. But because of her mental capacity, you know, she could have sex with people and if she's not protected, she could end up having a child. So I wish the world was as black and white. But then when we kind of walked through all the things, we find out, ooh, it's a little bit more complicated.

But I agree with you, Kenny. Most people wouldn't want to kill their kids, right? But you have some people, if most people won't, that means the exception to the rule is there's some who will and there's some who have. Right, right, right. But yeah, I just want to try and know what that, because back with the lady who drowned her five kids.

we were sitting in the firehouse and everybody just wanted to get her and I'm thinking to myself, what can you do to her? She just killed her five kids. What you gonna do to her to make it worse? The question becomes, yeah, it's complicated. Hey, I got a dash. I like them. Appreciate you. And again, thank you for last Friday.

appreciate you in Paris. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Everybody else talked about you. I was going to say, man, uh, you need to be more last Friday, man. I was entertaining all night. Good job. Good job. Good job. First you know, Paris looked like she was in hostage tape. Once she relaxed, she was okay. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I was proud of both of them. All right, y'all. Yeah, you have a good one. Take it off for me, Clark.

All right. Hey, y'all again, let me thank everybody. I'm gonna I'm gonna pop out of here just for I gotta go to a meeting. Okay, DJ. Appreciate you, man. Thank you. Clark. Thank you. Now, I appreciate you. When you you get there, you get there safely. All right, man. Appreciate. No.

Make sure you look both ways for you cross the street. Whatever me and him is out. He always called the crib to see you get home. OK. Like, dude, I got home. I was five. I mean, the way these people drive out here, man, right? And he up in a because it's going to be about time to where I take his license to. I'm the revoke. I told my mama, I said, hey, you got a good.

five years if you lucky. And let me get that up out. Yeah. Everything goes. Yeah. We me and Vincent, we gonna handle it. Vincent, Vincent always take care of mama because he he able to do you know, work, work from home in the office. Go. Let's go, man. But no, mom, she back, she back working. I mean, she back driving because she had surgery a couple years ago. But I told her.

Hey, how these people driving and how you readjusting getting back in. Yeah, you know, she like I said, she just turned 70 this year. So I said, hey, you got a good five years and then that license coming with me. Yeah, you know, so enjoy these, enjoy these next five. Yeah, enjoy these next five.

414-444-5250, phone lines are open. 414-444-5250, phone lines are open. Shout out to everyone who is listening to us on Facebook Live and YouTube so that Kweku was checked in with the people.

on Facebook Live, so shout out to you. Obviously, shout out to Zebra, Happiness Donuts. George always checks in and everyone else who's listening on the internet. And then I just want to give one last shout out to one of my best friends, Kamani, like a brother. He had a birthday yesterday. He turned 34.

You're getting old, man. You're getting old. Old as dirt. You're getting old as dirt. Still young, man. Oh, yeah. You're getting up there, but you don't get no younger, though. What's up with my 30s? You don't get no younger. Carla, thank you for your patience. You're on there. How you doing? How you doing? All right, yourself? That post-partum depression has been serious. You know, us guys, we don't go through that, but a lot of us have.

experienced it and didn't know what it was. And it's hard to drop it, hanging with somebody who's experienced something of this nature. But being here is that we as a people, we don't like to go get mental health. You know, we have... It stigmatized. Yeah, we want to do this, do that. And I would say get some mental health. Quit trying to self-medicate yourself.

And it might cost some people down for a minute, but it comes back on you. The situation comes back on you. And I dealt with it with an individual. And it hurt bad because you care about this person, but that man is not there. It had to be a red flag with this woman who killed her three children. It was the best life there.

But we see red flags, and we try to look past them all the way to be all right, but my mental illness is a beast. It's a beast, man, and you just imagine you take your babies out, and then you got a, I know a young lady who was going through some reglement, some other mental illness. It wasn't for a part of us.

She did some horrible things to a child. And never even dawned on her what she did was bad. But as a people, again, I would say, as people of color, like people, we need to learn how to start sitting down and talking to someone about our issues. And not only that, spiritually, and we had some

If we add some more spiritual stuff, we can go get some help too, because that will help us. Instead of having a mile left of it and all of your glory, poking and drinking or whatever they do at the end, you know, there's some of this music. You know, what you put in is what you get now. You've got to stop. And you've got to meditate.

You got to see some light at the end of that tunnel. But if you keep yourself always self-medicated, you're not going to see no light. Yeah, that's a good advice. That's good advice, especially because a lot of times when we self-medicate, it's usually with those drugs that we were talking about earlier, alcohol, marijuana, whatever other cocaine, pills.

you know and and then like I said earlier you know that's just to numb it momentarily but then when it went you know we we've all experienced them hangovers that next day you know it comes that pain come back tenfold let's see the thing here and you said a big thing right there when they come back on you and you want to go numb it again you're gonna numb it even greater mm-hmm

and you want nothing greater. Now when you can't get rid of, you can't get a number to get it going. Now when you can't get a number to get it going, what are you going to do next? Who's your next victim? Because that's what it is. You got to remember, it's not just, life is not built up just about us. It's seriously what you can do for somebody else and that's when you're at your best. But we got to mend this to mind.

I play at our people. I was looking at each other's face and I say, I hope we get some help. God bless you. Appreciate the call. Carla, thanks for your patience. You're on there. Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, I was listening to you guys talk about, um,

not being addicted, marijuana not being addictive, but what do you think about the papers, the laps, uh, Swissers sweets and all these different flavors? Um, it's not like that's regulated. Um, I think it's addictive in itself, not knowing the chemicals that's in it. Um, every corner gas station you go to in the city has a multiple, uh,

um variety of wraps that were um well i don't smoke anymore but um that uh these young people are are using and when i was young and when i did smoke you know we used tops zigzags and you know you smoke one joint weren't you joints and you were cool but now i see these guys you know they smoke one after blood after blood so to me it is some addictive behavior

If you got to continue to smoke just like a cigarette, right? It's the raps and not the marijuana or it's both. It's the both. I mean, the raps like what I was saying that you take out the tobacco, but the rap is the one that's flavored and who's ready to maybe not just like the hookers. People are addicted to those hookers and those are flavored tobacco that they put in that. But who's to say what chemicals they're putting in that?

Yeah. You know, because I mean, so many people, just about where you go, you see, uh, who is being sold? Just like these webs. I mean, and it's, it's many, many of the tools of different web companies. And I don't think they give a damn about who they're selling it to, especially when it's mainly in the inner city. You don't see it out in, uh, any of these rural areas or.

uh, uh, uh, places where we don't, you know, frequent. Um, but yeah, that was just my problem. I think they smuggle weed. I think they smuggle weed everywhere. Yeah. I mean, they smoke it, but I'm saying the wrap, right? Cause I went to dispensaries in Portland and Seattle, Washington. I just wanted to see what it was like. Yeah. And it blew me away. Uh, cause I was working for a company. I didn't want them to know what I was doing early in the morning.

But that's another story. I appreciate you. We actually got it in the program. Oh, yeah, it is. Thanks a lot, guys. Yeah, no problem. Keep doing your thing. You, too, have a safe and productive weekend. Thank you, Milwaukee. Thank you, Clark Kent. Who you with? Thank you, Passo.

Thank you, Keefy D. No, no. No, Keefy Pee. Hopefully, hopefully he's getting to his destination safely. Good Lord willing, the creek don't rise. We wish to be back with everyone on Tuesday because this is Labor Day weekend. So everyone enjoy the weekend safely. All right. And as always, let's go from this place in peace.

You know yesterday we

Keith B. Parris

had flooding the biblical

proportion.

It was crazy.

Yeah, I was going to have to call my lawyers if if if I had to go through that today.

Bro, it was so crazy man.

My video went viral and channel six actually showing my video like man, you got a hundred and twenty-some thousand.

Hey man, I can't help it.

I'm that dude man.

Don't

hit on my sauce.

I

That's cute, man.

What's that?

Huh?

What's

that?

That's that's legit right there.

No, I'm setting

Keith B. Parris

up this

video

Keith B. Parris

you swam across

That was that was scary bro.

How the water

Keith B. Parris

was moving.

Yeah,

how the water was

Keith B. Parris

my feet didn't dry for two hours.

I

would

Keith B. Parris

have changed socks.

Yeah, and then

I saw Michelle's I didn't see yours, but

Literally, this was a whole what y'all call it Lake WNLV.

Lake

WNLV.

And then literally maybe 20 feet later and ain't no water.

That's crazy.

It's just clear street.

Keith B. Parris

What if this was a Gwynne Moore sign?

Yeah, that's what it was.

Yeah, right there.

Gwynne Moore.

Yeah.

That came from across the street.

I hear it, I hear it.

Well, there's nothing right there.

They'll go there by the gas station.

DJ.

Yeah.

It's right here in the right corner.

Keith B. Parris

Okay.

All right.

All right.

Let's do

it.

He just said he didn't see so I was going to show him how the how the water was on the side.

Okay.

How that water was

over here.

Yeah.

How it was

over there because I had to move and when I was coming back.

almost fell because that's what Michelle said.

She had to move her car.

Yeah.

She's always parking.

No, she's right

Keith B. Parris

here on the side.

So, man,

coming back now, keep in mind, man, I'm 250 something almost 206 some pounds.

The water was moving me, bro.

Up the street.

That's how scary.

Keith B. Parris

You know, that's just a big teddy bear.

You know, that's called that's called buoyancy.

Yeah, it's going to be

Keith B. Parris

able

to

Keith B. Parris

float.

It's 250, but it's more fluff.

OK.

Just like the Bible says, try me and see.

See if

I won't open the window puff.

Try me and see, as the Bible says.

Well, on Pokemon, it was this.

animal called

jigglypuff jigglypuff

jigglypuff

And when Z-group could turn up, oh, you know, it just took a long time.

So, getting there.

Yeah.

You know, so, yeah.

Oh, I turn up, though.

I go in.

But nothing really, nothing really takes over the water.

Yeah.

You know, water, water.

Keith B. Parris

Seeks its natural

level.

Yeah.

And the lady that almost fell out there, like she almost went underneath, man.

It was kind of like, wow.

It was...

Well,

first

of all, first of all, well, could he even so let's say he's big enough to

Oh,

so he was probably

slim.

Yeah, but still first of all, let's use common sense.

You see that the water is high as a fool and that is moving.

You still decide you want to drop now and that's what a lot of people was doing.

We sit here watching people

drive through

again stuck right in front.

You see one person gets stuck.

The next person that sent that the light would try the same thing.

I was never that key.

And I say this all the time when people say, you know, don't touch that that stove when it's hot, you know, it'll burn you.

I was never that one.

Well, I gotta find

out.

Yeah, I gotta find

out for my dear.

I did that plenty times where I saw it was just a few cars.

I'm busting his U-turn.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't

even know what's going on, but I'm not about to find out.

Somebody got to let it tell the testimony.

You

might as well be

me.

Can't nobody tell it like I can tell it.

But

you

know what the thing I care about?

I say,

keep going.

Why are you stopping?

You ain't going to get no ticket.

Just keep going.

Keith B. Parris

Clark, it's just like you had the movies.

They can't hear

you.

Go go to room they gon' kill you!

They can't hear you man!

You haven't been talking through this window!

In their car!

They can't hear you there!

I know you!

I know not to go to the movies with you!

Where you

going?

Keith B. Parris

If you

stop,

Keith B. Parris

it's

a wrap.

So if you do decide that you think you're going to do something stupid like that,

you got to go you got to go that

one wouldn't happen because the water was killing these batteries it was coming spark plugs it was coming I mean cars was sitting over here and then the work and the money that you got to put in after your car get wet like that it's going to cost

you right

right

Hey, uh, Jermaine, yo, remember that one, that one white car defender?

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, that defender

came off in the water.

Well, hold on, guess what?

When I was on my way back to the station, I went home and changed my shoes, and it was on the tow

Keith B. Parris

truck.

Because the defender came loose from the water.

You heard it, and it was like, ugh.

They don't want to change shoes.

All our shoes is wet.

Everybody's shoes is wet.

Man, I'm leaving DNA

in front of everything.

And those socks, those like, oh, yeah.

So, anyway, hey, y'all, man, the phone lines open 414-445-250-414-444-5250.

Today is national cheese pizza day.

Hey, hold on.

No.

Don't get it

twisted.

Two-fifty of that.

Two-fifty

Keith B. Parris

of that.

Oh, that pow wow.

All right, that pow wow.

I grew out of cheese pizza as a kid.

I probably had a good three to four year run with cheese and then pepperoni, meat lovers, a piece of meat lovers.

That would give me every time.

No,

pizza used to have the

Keith B. Parris

best pizza.

I used to like pizza.

I used to too, but they

changed something.

I don't know what

Keith B. Parris

it is.

It's the same me.

No, but they went to, they started competing with Domino.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Me

Keith B. Parris

same

me.

Well, I don't know if you taste it how it was back in the day But for those of us that are a little older You

can

tell the tech that's

just like McDonald's

difference

No, but

listen a

lot

older than me.

How old are you?

33?

Yes, and we ain't that far.

Well, I ain't that far from what?

I just turned 50 playing,

but I'm something like that's a lot.

Amen.

50 is the

new 20.

That's a lot.

What's that a lot about?

17 years.

Hey, so that means I got so that means I got

17 years of tasting than you.

So listen to a player.

Tell me what I

Keith B. Parris

heard.

I'll tell you what I know.

That's what

I'm

saying.

I'll tell you what I know.

I agree with you.

I'm just saying.

It ain't

a little older than me.

Y'all a lot older.

That's

all I'm

talking about.

That's all I'm talking

about.

That's all I'm talking about.

That's all I'm talking about.

Disparancy, brother.

You

Keith B. Parris

the oldest dude in the room.

What

Keith B. Parris

are you talking about with that old song?

You're talking about not only your old man conversation every Friday.

Hey, hey, this got me hoppin' sick.

You know, back in the day.

You know

I'm becoming more simplistic though because sometimes you can put too much on a pizza and you kind of kill the taste.

So do you

like pineapple?

Really?

Keith B. Parris

I love

pineapple.

I like pineapple the fruit.

Yeah, I don't like

Like a drink or a juice.

Really?

You know, yeah.

Now, have

Keith B. Parris

you ever

had

Keith B. Parris

pineapple or fruit?

It

Keith B. Parris

has seeds.

Does it have seeds?

Yes,

pineapple is a

Keith B. Parris

fruit.

Yeah, I see.

I see.

Now, let

me take all the

Keith B. Parris

advice

that

Keith B. Parris

I

do with dude

Keith B. Parris

Toby yesterday.

Right, Google?

Dude told me to Google it

yesterday.

He had this in Google.

And he was wrong as a fool.

I mean, we've always been taught that pineapple was a fruit.

Now, you know,

Now, when you take the, or you know, when you take the pineapple and actually split it in the real pineapple and squeeze the juice out of it, you can tell that tastes compared to something that's been concentrated.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, that's, that's where all of the natural ones, you know, if you, what are, what are, I think it's called like cold pressed.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like those are the more, the closest thing to as natural as we're going to get to.

And, uh,

like not the sugar.

Yeah.

And the

Keith B. Parris

apple is

actually be

Keith B. Parris

good too.

Yeah.

It's

classified

Keith B. Parris

as a fruit.

Specifically, a multi fruit or collected fruit.

Yeah.

Yeah, man.

Keith B. Parris

I

love pineapples.

I do pineapples in my blender.

Oh, they say can y'all name the top five pieces?

Keith B. Parris

Oh, yeah.

Oh,

Sal's not doing it for me anymore.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, that let me do mine.

He's gone every time.

I like Rockies.

I like

Rockies.

Rockies is good.

Rockies is good.

What was that?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Rockies.

Everybody that doesn't live here, whenever they come back to visit,

Rockies is one of the first things people say, you know, they gotta come and get

it.

It's like a New York South.

where the lady said that they they don't rock with hubs no

more.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, because they switched on this.

Keith B. Parris

Alright, call a welcome to the program.

Good morning.

You're in

there.

How you doing?

Keith B. Parris

Good

morning.

Yes.

Have you got a chance to hear about Dolly Parton?

Keith B. Parris

No, I heard they did something but already.

Yeah, it was really private.

It was private.

Oh, wow.

Oh, okay.

Thank you.

That's all I need to know.

Yeah, yeah,

yeah, they did that.

It

was really

Keith B. Parris

private.

I mean, yeah.

So all of the year now, I know that they said once she passed that she had cancer, but they kept that under under the rug.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, well, she said she

cancelled her tour or like earlier this year.

It was earlier this year.

Yeah, but how they how they kept it underneath the rug was amazing because it didn't get out until after she passed.

Hey, shout out to the city, man.

You know, it ain't like yesterday.

You know, you can definitely show us that they should have been over yesterday.

No,

you still got to give credit.

Better

late than never.

Doc, listen, I saw the art go down Capitol.

It was going to Walmart.

I know it was driving

Keith B. Parris

the architecture.

Better late than never, man.

Better late than never.

It

was a biblical prophecy.

It really was.

It

was driving the art.

Better late than never, man.

It's

in Walmart.

Keith B. Parris

Do you think?

know that when we get weather like it's God's punishment,

it

Keith B. Parris

gets severe weather

or

Keith B. Parris

earthquake or

tsunami.

But there have been studies and research that a lot of the stuff be orchestrated too.

Keith B. Parris

An earthquake is orchestrated?

Well, yeah, you can actually make it rain.

Keith B. Parris

make it

rain.

So, if you could make it rain and I think you could do anything.

Condemned movies, movies have shown us that they actually make it snow.

Yeah.

So, if you could do one thing, I'm pretty

sure they teeter with some other things too.

Yeah, because you know, deep down underneath the water, if you go deep enough to the servers and do something to that server.

Well, they create clouds and crowd and crowds and and clouds, you know, the more of them, the moisture in the air creates rain.

So,

Keith B. Parris

How about it's just nature?

No, that's true, too.

I'm saying, I mean, I

don't know,

we're not disagreeing.

What I'm saying is we so far into it where we really don't know what it is, man.

We don't know what it could be nature.

It could be them messing with the stuff and it could be a little bit of both.

I mean, you can most definitely manipulate it to the point that it's doing.

stuff that is unusual like with the snow falls and and and the stuff that's

happening.

I forget the I forget the town but I believe it was in the south and this was done in the thirties between the thirties and the forties where this town had a really long drought and so what they did was they created these clouds in order for you know those farm fields and stuff to

to get get some water.

See

Keith B. Parris

the clouds

and then boom, water can

now

rain.

Now I can believe

and this and

this was over 50, 60 years ago.

No, I can believe that because through creation, you know, you can create anything because they got it out there

and

that and that a cloud way

Keith B. Parris

and cannot create nor destroy matter.

Well, that's true.

But how but how would they know how much a cloud weighs?

Keith B. Parris

Or you can go and science helps you with that.

Yeah, but you would have to

weigh it though.

So what you would, because I hate science.

So what do you, what do you describe?

Keith B. Parris

What do you hate science?

What do you describe as matter?

What's the, what's the definition of matter?

Keith B. Parris

Matter is this table.

Matter is you.

A solid.

Keith B. Parris

It could be a solid, it could be a gas, it could be a liquid.

So, you can create that.

Didn't have you, you

did not

Keith B. Parris

hear Atlas explain that?

No.

So, so you just said that you can't create it, but you can create gas.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah.

And liquid.

You can't.

You can't go out here and say, I'm going to create gas.

You got to have something in

order to do it.

Plastic.

You can

Keith B. Parris

use plastic.

It's still a

creation.

Yeah, it's for creation.

So you can use plastic and change

Keith B. Parris

that over

from plastic

Keith B. Parris

to gas.

No, I need to understand your perspective.

No,

you don't want to understand.

I

Keith B. Parris

do.

I'm not arguing with you.

I'm trying to understand.

No, I'm not.

I'm not saying

Keith B. Parris

you're arguing.

I'm just saying that you cannot create this.

So you can't

Keith B. Parris

create a

table, though.

You can create a table based on what's already here.

You can't go in and create the materials to make the

table.

So it's a young man in Atlanta that just opened, well, he's trying to open his own gas station, right?

He created gas from plastic.

So I see what he said.

It's the front part that you can create from plastic.

You can create gas.

But it has to be

just like with the plastic, you got to use something to create the plastic.

See what I'm saying?

So he's saying- Everything

Keith B. Parris

has a source and matter energy.

Right.

So, and we can't create energy.

I mean, we can, but we can't as a separate-

Yeah.

I can make you mad right now.

Uh-oh.

And I create some energy.

Uh-oh.

I

could make

you mad and that's

Keith B. Parris

energy.

Yeah Don't I exist?

Yeah

Okay, so then we're taking from something that already exists DJ.

Yeah, but he's saying in between what you exist in him is opportunity so he can create

It could be energy that was not there.

Yeah, that could be formed.

Yeah

From from opportunity for me acting the fool an opportunity me trying to be an opportunity

Keith B. Parris

You wasted all that money to go to

college

All right, welcome back Boy, he like he a pro back there.

Hey

Keith B. Parris

man, I do this man.

I do this.

Have you guys when you have to call it?

I don't know if you've ever, and IT come in like you, like you understand anything they're saying.

Well, and you have no clue.

Just fix it, man.

Well, I mean, for me, I like to ask questions because I want to know what's wrong.

So I want to try to understand what's wrong.

Because if you can get an understanding, you might not have to call IT if you can do it yourself.

So if you can understand what's going on, you'll know.

And then the way helps you, you know.

So then when you end up

having to call them still.

Well, at least you tried.

at least you tried.

Now, calling them still is after you tried.

We know

the basics.

Refresh, turn it on, have it turn back on, right?

You know, check your settings real quick.

We know the basics after that.

But get them IT people meeting them alone.

But it could be too, in some of them features, you can click some and not realize that you clicked something.

That's why you go into

the settings.

So, you know, before you call it like you go to the, you know, do you

run down the list?

We do that before.

So once they get here, hey, man, I did X, Y and Z. Come on.

But it took you to do it first.

I called the IT.

Keith B. Parris

I feel so inadequate when I have to talk to them, you know, because they're making it sound like it was so simple.

And I'm like, dude, I did everything.

I did everything.

We've upgraded to Windows 11, you know, as our operating system.

And I did everything.

But there was something on my computer where they had to go in and do some resetting.

And she was explaining to me about how this needs to talk to us.

And they went in.

I was like, oh.

I hate Windows though, man.

I hate

Windows.

Man, that's why they get paid to do that.

Yep.

Keith B. Parris

All right, uh as we kind of Here come the sun Here come the sun Here come the sun It's all right.

Did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did

it

did it did it did

So question real quick.

I just saw this on the news.

So with them going against the flock cameras, is it too late because they already got your information?

Keith B. Parris

Supposedly flock is not keeping it, but I don't trust it.

See what I'm saying?

Because they

Keith B. Parris

say

how they not keeping it when they be pulling people over based off that information.

That's what I'm saying.

So if it's already in the database line, I told you that.

So why would they?

So they it almost seemed like they had it for a minute to get everybody information and

now they go away from it.

I really, they didn't come out more about the dude that went to Michigan.

And when he came back, he was arrested.

You don't remember that story?

So it was a dude that went to Michigan and obviously Wisconsin is the lone state where marijuana is illegal.

So they went to Michigan and he ended up

Going to the dispensary.

Oh, I did hear about that.

Yeah.

Yeah, I did hear about being on his way back.

Yeah, he got arrested.

Yeah, they used the flop.

Yeah, that's right.

I don't do that and arrested him and caught him with all that.

Yeah.

And caught him.

So my I just want to know was he already under investigation?

I mean, they could spend it that way.

Did they just pull him over because he came from a state that, you know, is is legal?

to have marijuana in.

Well, that's

probably watching them.

Because if they wasn't watching them, then that's profiling like a mother.

Now, they got right, you know, but that's still bogus.

No,

but even if they was watching them, that's wrong because of where he went to.

And even when he went to and got the marijuana, it's legal.

So you shouldn't watch

me if I'm doing something legal.

Ain't that like smuggling or?

No, bring this up.

cross, uh, state lines, something like that.

They make up all these laws and something.

But if I had a dispensary here, and if I was selling Delta 9, and if I had my Delta 9 coming in from somewhere out of the state, it's the same thing.

Delta 9 is legal.

But this is what I'm saying.

Most dispensaries that you go to with Chicago and Michigan is Delta 9 that they sell into you anyway.

Yes,

Keith B. Parris

it is because I get it.

Yes, it is.

They're selling you cannabis.

Delta nine is where they take what the THC, right?

But you get a whole cannabis when you go to,

I'm just saying the difference.

Keith B. Parris

I'm telling you what I get.

Okay, well, I don't know why you would go all the way.

Yeah, I get it.

And it's legal.

Where you can get Delta nine here in this league.

Because they're shutting the stores down here.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

So that's why, first of all, I heard what you said.

It's legal.

I heard what you said about Black TV, you know, and I don't disagree with you, but we not Black, and you're incriminating yourself right now.

I'm not incriminating nothing because, hey, Delta Nine is legal.

So

when new people come to you, Delta Nine is legal.

Hear me.

They're

Keith B. Parris

not going

to come to me.

My name is DJ.

My name is DJ

Keith B. Parris

if

they

Keith B. Parris

come to me.

My name is going to be DJ.

DJ, they're going to ask, is your name such a?

I guess the question still is that Delta 9 will be here for at least a year.

Why would you go across state lines to buy something that's perfectly legal here?

No, what

I'm saying is that when you're out of

When you're out of Wisconsin and you in Chicago or

you

in Michigan?

Yeah

when you go into these places They tell you that this is Delta 9 they have the signs up there and the reason why I was using Delta 9 is when I had surgery on my ankle They they actually told me they told me at the doctor Don't use the oxys because the oxys make me feel some kind of way and I would get sick

Yeah, so so I would get sick from that so it would really tear me up because I don't have a stomach line So he he told me he said if you want to deal with the pain get you Delta 9 and that would help you with the pain

Keith B. Parris

I get it all

right

Keith B. Parris

But cannabis isn't right right cannabis isn't cannabis is right and Delta 9 is just taking the THC right that's from is that artificially created or is it

Yeah,

I'm sorry.

Either

way, they arrested that man on suspicion.

Right.

And he, I mean, obviously he had it.

Did he beat it?

No, he had marijuana.

Keith B. Parris

Did he beat the case?

I don't know.

That's what I got to follow up with.

They pulled him over and

that's because what would be the probable cause.

Exactly.

That's what I was saying.

What's the problem?

And then if you go in the car, you have to have probable cause to search for drugs.

Exactly.

I had heard a while back when they first with Chicago first got it.

They was waiting on people.

Yeah.

Oh, no.

It was.

Yeah.

It was it

was it

was sit there

and wait for me because if they see you go past and coming back, they will pull you

over just to see if

you

Keith B. Parris

went

to

Keith B. Parris

if you was the

probable cause

Keith B. Parris

though.

Yeah.

And that's your color.

Okay.

Now I know what

the

Keith B. Parris

Supreme Court looks like, but that's still unconstitutional

here.

The thing is, when they catch you with that, they can charge you.

Right.

So that's how they just be getting

away with anything,

man.

It's a setup.

It's going through the loopholes, bro.

It's a setup because 90 miles south, it's legal.

Unless you're going to be driving 60.

No, I'm driving slow.

No, but no, so so then they can't they can't say that you were speeding because you know Yeah, a speed limit is 70.

Yeah, a lot of people especially Coming from Chicago is doing 90.

Well, yeah, that is true.

If you wouldn't that uh If you wouldn't that left lane, you know,

Keith B. Parris

I guess the question would be what a total waste of law enforcement

that you're pulling people over for personal use.

Now, if I was driving

someplace,

Keith B. Parris

I was watching this movie about these kids up in where they live in an Oregon or Washington state.

And in Canada, you know, farmers just grow a whole lot of cannabis, right?

And

it's legal

Keith B. Parris

there,

though.

Right.

And

Keith B. Parris

so the guys would go across, they figured out a way where they could cross the border, not in the car.

When the guy was over and the police pulled him over for a tail light, he said, you guys looking for cannabis?

He said, yeah, well, let me give you the town that you go to.

So it's one of those things where, and I don't know why Wisconsin is so slow on the uptick on this, is that 39 states, acts will, has some form of legalization of cannabis.

I mean, he a Republican, he would

know.

Because those are the people that's holding

this up.

I actually asked him.

And he looked at me and was like, I don't know.

Keith B. Parris

Well, I think part of it was constant doesn't have the same financials motivations or incentives that other states had.

No, because we have a budget surplus.

Budget surplus is like $3 billion.

So you can't make a monetary reason.

Now people are making the argument for medical use.

Capitalism, money, money, money.

You know, people

Keith B. Parris

might jeep for that.

But then who's really pushing against legalization of cannabis in Wisconsin?

The Tavern League.

Now, I don't understand why the Tavern League believes that if people smoke weed, they're not going to drink.

People do both.

Yeah.

Keith B. Parris

I mean, you know, I mean, going to

the bars and clubs, you smell the people come in before they get to drink.

Keith B. Parris

except the Golden Nest.

Carla, welcome to the program.

Not

Keith B. Parris

anymore.

There

Keith B. Parris

you go.

Except the

Golden Nest.

Carla, welcome to the program.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I've been using marijuana since about 1972.

Raised a family.

You know, right now I'm

on Social Security and I drive to Chicago three times a year.

Great pleasure.

And I use the pre-ways.

I use the tollway.

I go to Illinois, I give them my debit card.

I mean, everything is on the up and up.

I get a little paper bag and I stick it in the car.

the only way you can get stopped.

I mean, just think of the technique.

I mean, I'm there with about, I don't know, if you've driven to Chicago, you've noticed the increase in traffic, all right?

And I mean, they'd have to spend a great deal of resources to catch me at that point where I'm actually holding this paper bag and going across

in the Kenosha and what are you going to get a ticket for possession?

I mean yeah because I'm actually well I'm not sure what the rest of the land is.

Keith B. Parris

It's the amount that you have but they limit the amount that you can buy.

So it ain't like you can go down there and buy from the dispensary and come up here and set up your own little dispensary.

Right, right, right.

Keith B. Parris

Like you can't go

get a full, I mean, like ounces and pounds of it and then come back and try to

Keith B. Parris

sell it.

So, you know, I think the dude was doing it.

It was the sheriff of Kenosha, the derock.

But I mean, but the reality is the Wisconsin just needs to stop being the island here when you have Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and it's all legal.

So, you know, these are, it is crazy.

We're the only one.

Right in between.

Right.

And they estimate about $33 million a year goes across the border.

Yeah.

You know, for people

going there.

I compared to my father going once a month.

I'm pretty sure it's more.

He goes to Chicago to get yellow margarine in 1963.

Oh,

Keith B. Parris

I give you another one.

Lottery tickets.

Lottery

tickets, yeah.

Keith B. Parris

How many years were people leaving Wisconsin to go buy lottery tickets in Illinois?

Yeah.

That's true.

Keith B. Parris

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, because they felt like that they had a better chance of winning.

And that is why you couldn't get a

Keith B. Parris

lottery ticket here.

But I know I'm not only that, but people felt like that they had a better chance of winning.

Keith B. Parris

Once it became, you know, like national, but until Wisconsin got involved with it, people would literally go down to

Illinois.

And that's why I put this back on right out earlier.

when he said that y'all are a little older than me.

Y'all a lot older than me, because that's something that I never heard of.

Well,

that's because she was a baby, though.

You still wet behind the ears.

Hey, call

it with you, baby.

Call it with you.

But it ain't no

little.

It's a lot.

Keith B. Parris

It's a

lot.

Keith B. Parris

That's when you go to the phone booth after you got a page.

Right.

So the dope guy.

Close the door to the phone booth.

The dope guy.

Your page is going off, okay.

Next we going to talk about government cheese.

Something like do that told me the other day.

Keith B. Parris

No, that's apple

pie.

Was that your cheese?

Told me that I look like I had a nickel, a nickel.

Keith B. Parris

A

nickel bag?

A nickel bag what I had on the other day.

All right, if

Keith B. Parris

it came in a broad package, it was more scenes

than

Keith B. Parris

stems.

But it was actually weed.

You

know what I mean?

Be like

Keith B. Parris

stems and seeds.

All right,

I appreciate you, man.

Call the work through the program.

Good morning, Yonair.

Good morning.

Uh,

you're about to, you're about to get up and you're about to get gone.

Hello?

Uh, you sound like you under some water.

Keith B. Parris

Can't get the rhythm of the struggle.

Hello, we can't hear you, brother.

We can't hear you, man.

Do you sound like a

mumbler?

I said,

we can't hear

you.

Do you have us on speaker?

No, I'm not on speaker.

You can hear

me now.

Now we can.

It's way better than it was, bro.

Okay.

All right.

I got you.

Okay.

Check this out.

Now, you talking about this now want to deal, right?

And the air except coming to our community.

Oh, by deep button.

Why don't you go there?

Hold on.

Let's see the little finish me.

I ain't gonna lie.

Hold

on.

We got to let

Keith B. Parris

him finish.

No, yes, yes.

We'll be talking about Juneteenth.

Yeah.

He comes in and talks about the one first nation people who was slow to release slaves.

You know, that is such a song.

But that was

in Texas.

Yeah, but the Eric's, what he was just talking about has nothing to do with what we used to talk about marijuana and going to Chicago in Michigan.

You talk about the Arabs coming into our communities and come on, man, stop it, Ben.

like stop like stop it bro this is his meat

Keith B. Parris

appreciate you and thank god because we have chicken because you dummy has anybody been to the heros no no because it ain't the real

they said it

Keith B. Parris

was fake it ain't the real heros whatever that is

it ain't the real

one lovers man

yeah it ain't the real one jack i know that

for sure it's been a lot of posters said that they wouldn't it ain't the real

ones

How do y'all know?

Because

Keith B. Parris

if you ever went down

to Chicago constantly, like when we travel, that we stop

Keith B. Parris

at a place down in Chicago, they call it the garbage, just like we call it the garbage.

No,

it's

Keith B. Parris

a whole totally

different taste, bro.

It's a different taste.

Why would it be a different taste?

I

don't

know

why.

I don't

know why.

I can't lie though.

When I lived in Chicago, I never had heros.

I always had Uncle Remus.

Uncle who?

Uncle Remus.

Is they still around?

Yeah.

I think it's like a west side.

I think Remus is like a west side.

The reason why I asked that me and my

guy go go, I don't want to go Uncle Remus.

This weekend, we're supposed to go to Chicago.

Okay.

That's why I asked.

Keith B. Parris

Now, do me a favor, go to heroes, eat it at heroes, then come up here and eat it at heroes and let us know if there's a difference.

I did that.

I'm telling you, I did that.

It's a hell of a difference.

It's a hell of a difference from the seasoning to how it was cooked.

We

need a real

Chicago.

I'm telling you.

I'm telling you.

I'm telling you.

I'm telling you.

I'm telling

you.

I'm telling you.

I'm

telling

you.

Yeah,

we came right here.

He was pertaining to your TACA and your death tonight and I was seen in the communities.

See, first of all,

When I call him in, man, I've got commentary on what I be talking about.

And I live a very fast life, and I don't play no moment slow.

So if you can't keep up, that ain't my problem.

Keith B. Parris

No, that ain't the problem, man.

We didn't want to hear you coming here, hating on an ethnic group, man.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You just have nothing to do with Arabs.

No, I was going through the dispensaries.

We'll start there.

How many, is there any black?

Hold on one.

Listen, man.

First of all, you have to realize,

at before before see the Delta the Delta 9 stuff is at this heat of the THCA at this heat it gets off to suspect it gets you high right it's your bullets right okay because normally now because if you go in if the fans go in right now grab the stuff off the shelf shake it up the main tester

it's going to show point three it's going to show uh zero point three it's going to show legal okay that you can have it in your store

but when you light it and heat hits it

It gives off the fact that you get your buzz, right?

You get your eye.

So my question to you is this right here.

Actually, I don't even have a question for you.

The deal is this, man, what they did, remember K2 going to the Katie Stowe?

You don't know nothing about that, do you?

K2 was synthetic.

It was created.

That's right.

And

who, hold on.

Who was the major

uh uh uh suppliers of that in our community.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

or obviously it wasn't illegal if it was if it was brought to the stores

today because you have to go higher

to the government.

The government allowed that stuff.

That's how they was able to actually order this stuff, man.

You can't order illegal stuff and sell it in the store, meat.

So stop trying to pitch it like that.

You

Keith B. Parris

can't order.

So that's just like you trying to order meat.

You know

what, man?

But meat,

but meat, there's hold

on.

You must be a shady smoker.

Hey,

I ain't gonna lie.

I don't know where he was going with it.

Welcome to the program.

I'm glad he called back though.

And I'm glad I

hung up on you this time.

Good morning.

Good morning.

You in there?

Okay.

I just want to touch on that, uh, girls chicken thing up on Hollywood 100.

Okay.

Her location, uh, her chicken has 70 over 70 locations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank

you.

Thank

you.

When the cook came from the back and I saw who was cooking the chicken.

I knew that when the rigid.

Thank you.

Who was going to take it?

That's not her chicken.

Anybody that made your own chicken

from Chicago, nobody takes that.

Thank you.

Thank you, brother.

I appreciate you saying that.

Thank you.

Have a great rest

of the

day,

fellas.

He says, y'all just didn't believe me.

Who is y'all?

Whoever didn't believe me.

Yeah.

Fall under that y'all.

I didn't believe.

I decided.

You said,

no, we need a real person

from Chicago.

No, that's right.

No, you didn't believe

me.

Everybody

been saying, everybody been saying this fake.

I'm telling you, you can, you can taste it if you know, you know, you can, that's, that's just like, and I'm gonna say it, just like friars and JJ's.

It's two different tastes.

I never have fire unbelievable taste is is two different tastes same product, but two different tastes.

Yeah,

that's the offer 27 right?

Yes, sir.

Keith B. Parris

You're listening to Community Voice.

You just validated a ride house taste buds.

So thank you, Carla scrumptious

Keith B. Parris

listening to Community Voice.

We're going to take a quick break when we get back.

We'll be inside the protege's perspective.

Now it's time for the protege's perspective.

For the most part, we are caring, compassionate, and considerate people.

We want the best for our family and friends.

As you grow older, you begin to come into your own and experience life and everything that it brings, the lessons, the pain, the joy, and the relief.

Throughout this time, many people pass along numerous tips of advice in an effort to help you prepare for what's next.

In the midst of all of the advice passed along, how to cope and how to help those dealing with grief seems to be left out.

There are a lot of things that one can prepare for, but grief isn't one of them.

In these times, we want to be there for our loved ones, even if we don't know what that means or what it looks like.

In many instances,

grief comes knocking unexpectedly.

On the other hand, when certain outcomes are expected, there is still no handbook on how to deal with grief, both as the one experiencing it and as the one observing it.

As the person observing grief, often there is a period of silence, not because of indifference, but because of not knowing what to do or say.

Remember,

that for the most part, we are a caring, compassionate, and considerate people.

And in such traumatic times, we don't want to burden or lend frustration to those who are suffering.

Ultimately, many of life's unsettling circumstances that arise are unexpected.

And no matter what advice has been given or not given, it is still something

that will have to be experienced head on.

In these times, you may feel hesitation to reach out due to the fear of appearing inconsiderate or even ignorant.

But there is one lesson that I've learned in life that can be applied to assisting those dealing with grief and other life circumstances that may be daunting.

That is, just because you don't know what to say,

Does it mean that you should stay silent?

Speak up, lend a helping hand, and let them know that they are not alone wherever they stand.

Keith B. Parris

I appreciate you, man.

Carla, welcome to the program.

Good morning, you

in

Keith B. Parris

there.

Good morning.

Good morning, young folks.

You know, I was listening to you guys talking about the marijuana decay tool and all these things.

You know what?

The damage is done to our community mentally.

I've seen some people personally that have taken their mind, their brains all the way up there, still some serious mental ill issues behind it.

And a lot of this marijuana, you know, and I've never seen this crazy deal with marijuana, as I see it today, you know, and they sell it in dispensaries, you know, and a lot of this stuff.

As a people, we got

got to do something because we got kids out here standing by the gas station, standing by them once, so they can roll up and, uh, got young folks, uh, persons and things, 20th of a month.

And then I noticed, well, no, the lady, she was sitting on her porch and her son said, you're smoking with her and he went no more to about 11.

And what we're going to do with our society and our community, somebody got

grow up and do better.

Keith B. Parris

Did you smoke back in the day?

I tried it, but it wasn't up.

Keith B. Parris

So you just you just have a problem because you don't like it.

No, it's not that I don't.

It's just don't like it.

It's what it's doing to our people.

Keith B. Parris

What is it doing?

What is it doing?

I'm gonna tell you like this here.

I know a young lady personally when she was 13.

Okay,

Keith B. Parris

that's a kid.

I'm talking about adults.

Kids should not be using it because of brain formation.

All right, we got all of that.

But I'm saying as adults, what is

it doing?

The same exact thing happened this young man.

He moved to Florida about a year and a half.

I'm not going to say no nice to family still live here.

But he was a very young, dear friend of mine.

And I talked to him one day, he pulled by my place and he was on the four wheeler.

And he said, I love this K2.

I said my age shouldn't be focused on that synthetic method.

So I just don't just like that.

And it wasn't too much.

He was in the mental health

center.

Yes, because K2 is synthetic.

That's not marijuana.

K2 is not marijuana.

K2, K2 is really puppery and all that other stuff

that's in

the bag.

It's not marijuana.

So you can't equate K2 to marijuana.

K2 is going to mess you up.

It's going to have you out there doing all type of stuff because it's synthetic and it's not weed.

That's not

weed.

And they were saying the reason why they were smoking that because they got detected in their urine or whatever.

It didn't show up.

But you can't blame that on marijuana.

That's not marijuana.

K2, that synthetic stuff, people were smoking that, that was on papers.

Because if you go drop, it won't show that you have marijuana

in your system.

I think that you can lump all drugs with marijuana just because...

Don't they say that marijuana is a gateway drug?

Once you start with marijuana, then you're going to move on.

Keith B. Parris

Can I respond to marijuana being a gateway drug?

That was a lie used to justify.

Yes, most people who did heroin smoke marijuana, but the vast majority of people who smoke marijuana do not do heroin.

So when people

make that

argument,

No, what I'm saying is that the vast majority of people do not use cocaine, do not use heroin, they do not graduate the heroin cocaine.

That's not the case.

That's propaganda.

There

Keith B. Parris

one is physically not

addictive.

It's what you're

designing

now.

But

it's not a, it's what you say?

So it's what they, let's go here.

It's what they wrap it in now.

That's the battle for this.

Doc, that's not true.

It's the harvest.

It's when you pick it, if you pick it at the right

time, it's going to be

strong.

But anything can be addictive

though.

I don't, I don't know, I can't be

Keith B. Parris

addictive.

And when you talk about addiction and that's the problem that people like, Keon pointed this out.

Cocaine is not physically addictive.

Right?

Cocaine passes from your system.

It's a mental

dependency.

Either way, it has a hold on you.

Okay, fool.

The way that you have to.

Keith B. Parris

Okay, hold on.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Just because it's addiction, it don't mean that.

It's a different.

It's

Keith B. Parris

a different.

It's like,

fool.

Fool can be addiction, but it's mine.

It's in your

mind.

Right.

Let me show this here.

It's the rap that they rap the marijuana in now.

That's the back effect was very addictive.

No sir.

Read

it.

No, no, no.

Not to wrap.

It was inside of the wrap.

They take the tobacco outside of the wrap.

That's what's causing the cancer.

It says on the package.

Keith B. Parris

It's

the tobacco inside.

The nicotine that's inside of the cigarillo.

It's not to wrap.

The

wrap is a

leaf man.

If something grabs on, if something grabs on to that dopamine and it causes you to desire it,

often.

Well, I'm not even gonna say however, but just say often.

That in tune develops addiction.

It don't, it don't, it don't matter what, what you talking about.

Oh, marijuana is not addictive.

Uh, alcohol ain't addicted.

Whatever you say, if people, but no, but what I'm, what I'm saying is, if you can't do that, but if you begin to desire something often,

You like chicken,

right?

You desire chicken every now

and

then.

If

Keith B. Parris

you stop eating chicken.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

What happens

Keith B. Parris

when I stopped doing marijuana?

No, no, people be crazy.

That's not true.

That's not

true.

That's not true.

Well, I want to ask a question about, uh, you know, he said about the mother sitting on the on the.

I think that

Keith B. Parris

you have a problem even letting your kids drink under 21 or under 18.

The difference between the kids using marijuana and the adult using marijuana is it has a different chemical reaction to the brain.

That is the difference.

That is why people are saying this.

Now look, with cross-polarization, because people say they, what was the word they used, like the same thing as heroin?

What are you doing?

What's the term that... No,

no, no,

Keith B. Parris

no.

What was the term, though, that they use when they wake up?

you're breaking down the cocaine so you can step it up.

Step it up.

You know, if you step on weed, that would be back in the day when I was coming along and people put the angel dust on the weed.

Or, or, or,

Keith B. Parris

right?

I mean, I was

soaking in like Hennessy.

They were soaking in Hennessy.

Y'all just

not.

The people, the

people saying that this ain't no gateway.

It's not

Keith B. Parris

a gateway.

It's not a gateway.

It's not a gateway.

It's not a gateway.

Hold

on, hold on, hold on.

People, people put angel dust on.

on weed.

We didn't cause the gateway.

It's what you put the

same drug or a different drug.

It's not the same drug.

We need to not even

consider

Keith B. Parris

a drug if you actually doubt

it.

It

is.

For

the

federal government, they just changed it because it was considered a Schedule I drug.

Why was it considered a Schedule I drug?

Go back to the 60s in the war, the so-called war on drugs.

They targeted hippies and militants because they had a tendency to smoke weed.

It had nothing to do with like when you talk about the impact of cocaine, if you talk about the impact of heroin, barbiturates, think about all of the legal substances that you can get high with.

Alcohol being the number one.

And here's the difference.

When I try to get off of alcohol as alcoholic, I'm going to have withdrawal.

Yes, sir.

I'm going to go through physical kind of, my body is craving for it.

And my body doesn't crave for marijuana.

And why that's not illegal.

No, no, no, no, no.

I

guess they clean the grease more.

Are they owned by

Palestinians?

Yeah.

Big sharks?

Yeah.

Big sharks.

I didn't know that.

But hold on.

Call it.

Call it.

Call it.

Call it.

You had said something a while, a minute ago about a bombing fluid on the.

Yeah.

They're called a charm.

When they dip it

in,

they're called a charm.

And people was actually dying from that because it was blowing up their heart.

I actually had

a guy that had died on a

basketball court playing

ball.

But they were trying to

make it as potent as possible because

it's going

to cost all kind of

Keith B. Parris

things going on in your

brain.

And it ain't from

Keith B. Parris

the

weed, it's from the almond fluid and the stuff that they put on it that

you're

having all of these mind effects from.

Well, the thing about the whole matter is young folk is that they find ways to destroy and distract the people's arm in a bad situation.

We don't need none of it.

You don't drink you some water in the rear kool-aid.

Ain't probably that

bad.

Not the rear kool-aid.

I

Keith B. Parris

don't understand that.

That's what it's

like.

It's like speeding

Keith B. Parris

up your heart and

slowing it

Keith B. Parris

down at the

same time.

So, now, your heart get confused.

Oh, man.

That's

not good for your

body.

That's not good.

Alright.

Oh, neither is

Keith B. Parris

we.

Way better than I thought.

Call a welcome to the program.

You gonna die from something?

Call a welcome to the program.

Hey, good morning.

Good morning.

When I was six years old, I took a puff off of a cigarette from above, but there's someone that thrown down.

Since that date, I haven't had another puff of a cigarette.

What's the benefit?

But either cocaine, heroin, or marijuana.

Keith B. Parris

People want to alter their consciousness.

People have been altering their consciousness.

Mushrooms.

I mean, what is beer?

What's the benefit?

I don't know if it's a benefit.

I think it's an indifferent act unless you abuse it.

There's no benefit.

There's no deficit unless there's either

abuse.

I think I think I think all drugs I mean even if we take it even if we take what is prescribed to us Yeah, it is used to numb.

Yeah, whatever pain.

Yeah, or feeling that we are trying to avoid Yeah, so when it comes to alcohol when it comes to weed or mushroom or whatever It's used as some of

I would just say like a numbing cream or a numbing

ingredient.

Except for medicinal reasons, what's the benefit?

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you.

There you

go.

To numb it.

Pain.

Yeah.

Pain

management.

Because when

I had surgery.

After that numbing, is

the pain still there?

Yeah.

Well, it helps you deal with it until the pain heals,

until

your injury heals.

Sometimes when it's done, when that

numbing is done, it comes back.

I mean,

hold on, hold on, hold on.

Well, I mean, I'm just gonna use as my example.

I had surgery on my ankle, okay?

Taking oxys is too strong for my stomach.

I don't have a stomach lining, so it would make me sick.

The doctor told me himself, he said, the doctor himself, he told me.

The DLC?

DLC is stupid, though.

No, he told me himself, he said that you can get the cream, you can get the cream.

you can get the seed or you can, if you prefer smoking, you can smoke it.

But it would help you with your injury.

It would help you deal with it until your injury heals because, of course, the body got a hill on

its own.

Ricky Williams said that that was one of the main reasons why he smoked marijuana was to deal with his injuries.

It wasn't because of him being a smoker.

and then the four people that don't

have.

Is that a

prescribed medication?

At the

time.

You can get it prescribed.

You can get it prescribed.

Keith B. Parris

You got to have a

base based

on a conversation

I'm hearing.

Keith B. Parris

Hold on.

Hold on.

Listen.

So I'm just so just for clarity.

So you don't do anything to inebriate yourself?

No.

Okay.

So do you take time

off?

I know how to function this.

Keith B. Parris

Do you take time off?

Hold on.

What did you say?

I said I'm going for 88 years in this community.

Keith B. Parris

Okay.

I have been in most of the places that most other people have been.

Keith B. Parris

Okay.

I've not needed those things to be part of my beneficiary package.

Keith B. Parris

Okay.

But what about for people who just really just might enjoy

a drink from time to time or a token from time to time.

What's the problem with that?

I think if it's not a problem, that's okay.

But when it becomes a problem, the rest of us have to

Keith B. Parris

deal with it.

Could that be anything?

I heard somebody talk about food.

which is probably one of the more abuse substances that we have in terms of our diet.

Yes.

Oh, yes.

Food can be detrimental to you, too, if you overdo it.

Keith B. Parris

So then so it's a question.

So then is it a question of abstinence or a question of moderation?

I'm asking about it from a benefit standpoint.

Well, I gave you one answer.

Well, that's just like if you have a headache, you take the drug aspirin or Tylenol.

to benefit you, it takes away from, it takes away the headache.

That's the benefit of that drug.

But if you overdo it and take too many of it, it can harm you.

And then

Keith B. Parris

also, you know what I found out?

What's that?

You can take up to 3,000 milligrams

of

Keith B. Parris

Tylenol and

a negative effect.

That blew my mind.

I

Keith B. Parris

was like.

But also, even if you just take it to, you know, some people are nervous for a certain test or a certain

maybe even a date, right?

A lot of people would smoke a little weed because maybe that may calm them down.

So

some people may

take a shot.

Some people may take a shot to come.

It's a it's a myriad of reasons why people do these things.

It's not a one size fits.

So

I agree with you on that basis.

There are a million reasons that people do what they do.

I'm trying to find out the benefits to it.

Well, I think

Keith B. Parris

it would build on the individual if I'm going in and I'm trying to settle myself.

I mean, you know, benefit is subjective.

What is it?

One man's meat is another man's poison.

I mean,

it's kind

of hard.

And I think the problem, this is the libertarian in me.

The libertarian in me says that, wow, if you not hurt anybody else, and that's what you choose to do, but we could argue that in some ways, all of us will do something that could not necessarily be beneficial that we do on a regular.

You know, so I mean it's one of those things and I understand that there's some people really want to drug alcohol-free society That's cool, but I'm just saying when you look at the overwhelming number of people for example who use liquor do not abuse it Would you would you agree with that?

Well, since I know so little about taking like drinking liquor I can't count it on it.

No,

all right,

but I can tell you why I don't drink liquor Because I saw what it did to my father,

Keith B. Parris

right?

And I knew I didn't want to go through those trials and tribulations.

And I didn't have to if I didn't drink liquor.

Keith B. Parris

There you go.

Because you don't become an addict until you try it.

OK.

Well, I tried to do that.

I didn't become an addict on that either.

Keith B. Parris

No, no.

What I'm saying is, but most people don't, you know, I'm not addicted to it until I try it, right?

And then that's when the whole chemical thing or the psychological thing kind of kicks in.

Appreciate you, man.

Are some chemicals more addictive than others?

Yes.

Okay.

Yes.

Do you want a cigarette?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like the nicotine that's in the cigarette is what makes it addictive.

Sugar.

Sugar.

Yes.

The

Keith B. Parris

tobacco that's in it.

Yeah, but the difference between a cigar and a cigarette is cigar is all natural.

They don't add anything to that.

It is tobacco.

where cigarette has 400 chemicals in it.

$2,000?

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, I mean, you know that.

And so because cigarettes.

Right.

Cigarettes are designed to be addictive, right?

They're designed.

That's why like they burn out, right?

Because you put a chemical in there to make it burn because you burn it out.

You have to do another one.

So that's been the whole thing in terms of how people get in.

But

Like for the use of alcohol, you know, we the use of alcohol goes back as long.

I mean, you know, when I know as a Baptist people were there wasn't four minute wine.

It was four minute wine because wine, especially red wine.

And there's some people will tell you there's a medicinal benefit from drinking, you know, a glass of red wine a day.

You know, so.

I think it is great.

It's not the existence of something.

It's how people use it that becomes the issue.

And now that comes down to the individual.

All right, man.

Let me

appreciate you.

We gotta go to a break.

Keith B. Parris

No,

we got no.

Oh, sorry about that.

Thank you.

Keith B. Parris

All right.

Call it in the break or?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Let's do it because he's been waiting.

Call and welcome to the program.

Good morning.

You're in there.

Hey, what's up, brothers?

All right, yourself.

Hey, beautiful show.

Beautiful show.

Keith B. Parris

Thank you,

brother.

Hey, Lip.

Hey, let me tell y'all something that's funny, though.

I had a back problem, so I went to a chiropractor.

But my doctor gave me some pain pills.

I said, everybody was talking about pain pills.

Don't take that.

Thread, fire, and all that.

So once my back got healed, man, I took one of them pills.

Man, I felt good.

That's what is

Keith B. Parris

designed to do.

I put the whole

bottle.

Keith B. Parris

You know what was crazy?

When I went to the chiropractor, he explained to me like, when you do an ice pack or a heat pack, it sends a signal to the brain.

Okay.

And then the brain says the pain doesn't exist.

But as right now, point out as well as the injury is there, there's still going to be pain, right?

So as soon as that ice pack wears off, guess what happens?

The pancakes right back in.

Cause the pain is an indicator that the body is trying to heal, right?

Yup.

And I saw there's just a little progress in terms of my back where it went from, you know, painful all the time to as I got stronger as I began to heal, less pain, right?

Less pain.

Let me say one more thing

before I let y'all go.

I got friends right now, him and his wife, they go get them.

big old box of Skittles and they take all the wrapping out and the um and gummy bears and they go wherever you can buy all that stuff from and repackage it in the hotel and bring it back to Milwaukee, man.

It's crazy, man.

Keith B. Parris

A lot of people prefer the gummies.

They prefer the gummies.

Yeah, they get the Skittles

and

the gummies, but you could

they ain't coming here.

Oh, it's definitely delayed.

It's delayed.

What's your mouth?

No.

Alright, brothers.

Y'all have a good

Keith B. Parris

one.

That's

the problem that people have with it that where others might be maybe two to three Do y'all

take gummies?

Keith B. Parris

No, I didn't inhale.

I didn't do gummies.

Okay.

Let's do this.

Let's go to break.

There's a community voicing around the car get my gummies

They

Keith B. Parris

have been deadlocked one do one one jurors holding out

The defense is trying to get them to throw that juror off.

The problem is, if he just throws it off, then the V8, they're gonna, you know, they're gonna appeal his decision.

So he's in a, what, what, what trial

is this?

The woman to kill, kill three.

Oh, she gotta go, man.

And you guys can't be pleading this, Anthony.

Keith B. Parris

No, but she got, she had some real serious.

It's

kind of hard for me.

Keith B. Parris

Postpartum issues.

I mean, though, you send the husband away.

So you knew what you were doing.

Right.

You send the husband

Keith B. Parris

away

to, like, come on, man, because she knew if the husband was there,

Keith B. Parris

the husband would have stopped her.

But see, that's something that we don't, they just did something at the state level where they're extending medical care for women postpartum.

Postpartum is after birth of a child.

Women go through something called postpartum depression.

It is real because the body is going through all these things and now the baby And so but she was already dealing with certain mental illness already So the postpartum they showed and then to the point she tried to kill herself That's why she's in the wheelchair because she jumped out a window and paralyzed

her She knew what she did because she knew she was gonna go to jail

Keith B. Parris

for the rest of her life I tried to kill myself too I would not want to be on that jury because

Was she what that driver saw that, uh, that old white man when they was fishing and he said, lock him up.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

Lock

her

up, man.

She had come and said to jump out the window.

Keith B. Parris

Justice has to be mitigated.

And what I mean is that we can be very absolute about it.

She killed three kids and everybody go, well, now I'm not saying there shouldn't be any consequences for it, but at the same time, a person's mental state.

goes a long way in trying to explain why something happened.

And even though you had someone who, look, there's

a woman- So how did they find out that she had mental issues?

Keith B. Parris

There's a woman that I grew up with.

We did not know that she was dealing with certain mental challenges.

She killed her daughter, right?

Now we're sitting up, but then when you began to understand, she was dealing with mental health.

Sometimes the collateral damage is that people were dealing with mental health episodes,

We'll do it to somebody in society.

So so

she having mental issues before she had her three kids because you had common sense to lay down and have sex to have these

Keith B. Parris

kids.

Sex is basic.

I get it.

But you got common sense, though.

Obviously, a whole lot of I get it.

No, you say you get it.

Let me finish my sentence.

Then see if you still get it.

OK, that, you know, I wish that people were so mindful.

when they had sex about every possibility and the consequences, but sex wasn't designed for us to do it that way.

No, what I'm saying, I get it, but she had common sense to lay down and have

Keith B. Parris

three of these.

That ain't common sense.

That's biology.

That's sex drive.

That's a different piece.

Addiction.

Per

Tiger.

And Eric Bernay.

No, you know, I'm just saying that it...

We the the biology is important.

We dismiss it as if and then we always do it postmortem, right?

Because if we set up and talked about how did I get into this relationship?

Okay.

It wasn't really thought out.

It was dry passion.

Passion is the void of reason.

Yeah, it

is.

So what do you think drove her?

I don't know.

And that that

Keith B. Parris

that's that's that's what I'm saying now.

You have to sit there and watch the trial.

I don't know.

There was a lot.

But they showed the amount of medication this woman was on.

And then here's the other piece of it.

We have people who are having children who probably should not be having children.

So do you think men at the state failed the kids?

Because I'm sure that if

Keith B. Parris

she was getting

all the.

No, no, no.

I get it.

But what I'm saying is, if she was prescribed all of this medicine,

for her mental state, do you believe in that the state failed to protect the kids?

Because knowing that this person is

Keith B. Parris

dealing with it, they

wouldn't have no way of knowing.

But I'm saying about for her being prescribed all of these medicines.

That's between

the doctor.

So, again, in her.

Well, TMZ just said it's declared a mist trial.

Yeah.

Oh, she's going to get off.

It's a mist trial.

What do you mean?

No, but.

I'm saying she's going to get up, but they were saying that they weren't going to let it die, that they was going to try to try her again.

I

mean, if it's a mistrial, you can do it again.

Keith B. Parris

Well, it's up to the DA to figure out if they want to bring it.

And they sound like they do.

I don't know.

When we talk about this issue around mental illness, but here's the thing, because we are

animals.

We still have some of these basic things, these basic drives.

Call her.

Welcome to the program.

Good morning.

You're in there.

What's going on, brothers?

What's happening, man?

Why are you all talking about it?

It was just the core of the mist trial.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah.

Yeah, I just said, because, uh, TMZ had just said it.

Yeah,

yeah.

When you know it was going to get up after the second time they got pushed back into the, you know, that's, that was going to be automatic.

And it was only 11 votes to win.

Yeah, it was already going that way.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, I wonder if it was in favor of Equito, if it was favor of finding her

guilty.

I think it was favor of her because the defense wanted that run juror gone.

So why would they fight for that?

Keith B. Parris

Yeah.

Yeah, I think, you know, and that's what I'm saying.

it's hard for us because we go like because allegedly we all have and I put in quotations common sense but anything can happen and and there are people out there who really dealing with mental health challenges and if that person is I mean we're saying it in

the White House right now.

Was that common sense for her to be like

Oh, I did this.

And I should try to come myself.

And OK, this

is really confusing.

But you had common sense to see your husband go

do an errand and then go killing kids.

Oh, that's all I'm

saying.

That's all I'm saying.

She knew what she was doing.

That's premeditated.

Yeah, you sent

your husband to go do an errand.

So you won't be there while I kill these

kids.

That don't sound like.

That don't sound like.

It's that sounds like you wanted to do you knew what you was doing.

You knew what you was doing Yeah, and then to run

Keith B. Parris

from what you did that is the mental illness been driven by the mental illness How much of that is driven by the mental illness?

Okay, okay, let's do it this way if she was brash that car would

have

been over with it, right?

Now, I don't

Keith B. Parris

know how this is to get into

this.

It's always good to work, man.

This is the justice system.

You

Keith B. Parris

know how

it

Keith B. Parris

goes.

Okay.

What if she was black?

Would you give her the same benefit of the doubt in terms of her mental

illness?

You got to go do.

You got to

go do.

You got to go do.

Yeah, well, hey,

you do.

You give

Keith B. Parris

her the benefit of the doubt.

Can she got to go?

Keith B. Parris

Yeah, I'm just saying if the woman is dealing from mental illness, you cannot be held to the same level of accountability of people who are not.

Again, like you say, it come all the way back to race.

Keith B. Parris

I didn't say

that.

Y'all

said that.

You

do say that, Keith.

You say that all

the time.

No, he say always go back to slavery.

That's what he

said.

Oh, slavery, OK.

OK.

And slavery had a lot to do with race.

So to your

point,

it had to do

with race.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All

right, man.

And any

of it, did you see the Georgia Tech Colorado game yesterday?

The Colorado win?

Yeah, I didn't see it, but I heard about it.

Keith B. Parris

Yeah.

No, he's doing a stay just in case.

So he's staying the mist trial for one hour.

It becomes official in one

hour.

It becomes official in one hour.

Okay, last last thing, but since she's in a wheelchair

Keith B. Parris

and she's going to get off now, who's going to have to take care?

She's not going to get off.

She's not going to get off.

the state is going to try.

No, the state's going to retry the case.

And if you already said she's going to get off, then that's the reasonable doubt.

There's

a different standard

that that, you know, for criminal, it has to be beyond a reasonable doubt.

But if people are having some questions about whether or not she fully understood what she was doing, but I don't know until we actually get more the transcripts and then once they go in and pull the jurors, she knew what she was doing.

I appreciate you, man.

Call her.

Welcome to the program.

Good morning.

You're in

there.

Hey, what's up, folks?

Keith B. Parris

Hey, what's

up?

All right.

Real quick, anybody that has a kid, a child, try thinking about killing a child.

You can't get there unless something's wrong with

you.

This is that simple guys.

I know we went through it.

It doesn't seem right.

And there's something how as people, we want our power to flesh.

We want to get her.

What can you do to somebody who killed their own child and the one that they burst?

But you could say that for anything because to kill a human being,

Some got to be wrong with you.

You got a

Keith B. Parris

different relationship with your child.

And he's talking about she being a mother bone to bone flesh of my flesh, right?

Yeah.

And

you know what?

And that's why I

Keith B. Parris

always had a problem with Abraham going to sacrifice Isaac.

You know, I mean, that's problematic for me.

And thank God that there was a ram in the bush.

But and then it gets down to it doesn't.

Like I said, because I know someone very personally where she killed her daughter because she was hearing voices.

Right.

I mean, you know it that Until you kind of been in that situation have been exposed.

Have you all

Keith B. Parris

seen a movie primal fear?

Yeah, he faked it He faked it, but there are a lot of people out here a faking it man.

I mean they got some real mental Mental health issues.

They really do a good movie by the

way Think about it

something stops you when you're in your right mind.

I can't even, I can't even have that thought.

I can't even have that thought.

Keith B. Parris

But then it goes to say, I'm not going to work it out because I'll probably kill you.

I'm that angry.

So when you're that angry and you just suspend judgment at that point because it's a passion.

So at least some people have, let me step away from this for a minute.

because I'm getting ready to get in.

Most of us don't know how to disengage when we find ourselves in these stressful confrontational situations.

Yeah, and then I just wonder,

they're little ones, man.

Yeah, I need to try to understand.

It's totally different.

I know we want to get them because they did something that we didn't like, but

the woman needs some help.

She's going to get that help in the penitentiary.

Keith B. Parris

That's what

happens when you do wrong.

Consequences

Keith B. Parris

come.

Yeah, I wish we were that black and white.

Yeah, exactly.

No, because when I was sitting up and thinking about the smart case in South Carolina, when she killed the two kids because the dude she was dating didn't want kids, now that's a different thing, right?

That's

a different

Keith B. Parris

thing.

Here's the other thing.

It's a myth.

that parents automatically love their children.

That's a learned behavior.

That postpartum rejection is real, right?

And then people get to the point like, okay, and then it's a weird thing with human beings in terms of where we are.

Like I said, unfortunately you can have mental health challenges.

That's why they sterilized the Kennedy daughter who was in the

down with the nuns down in southwestern Wisconsin, I think that was Kathleen or Catherine, one of the Kennedys.

They had to go in and sterilize her.

And Catholics don't believe in sterilization.

But because of her mental capacity, you know, she could have sex with people and if she's not protected, she could end up having a child.

So I wish the world was as black and white.

But then when we kind of walked through all the things, we find out, ooh, it's a little bit more complicated.

But I agree with you, Kenny.

Most people wouldn't want to kill their kids, right?

But you have some people, if most people won't, that means the exception to the rule is there's some who will and there's some who have.

Right, right, right.

But yeah, I just want to try and know what that, because back with the lady who drowned her five kids.

we were sitting in the firehouse and everybody just wanted to get her and I'm thinking to myself, what can you do to her?

She just killed her five kids.

What you gonna do to her to

Keith B. Parris

make it worse?

The question becomes, yeah, it's complicated.

Hey,

I got a

Keith B. Parris

dash.

I

like

Keith B. Parris

them.

Appreciate you.

And again, thank you for last Friday.

appreciate you in Paris.

I mean, she back driving because she had surgery a couple years ago.

But I told her

Hey, how these people driving and how you readjusting getting back in.

Yeah, you know, she like I said, she just turned 70 this year.

So I said, hey, you got a good five years and then that license coming with me.

Yeah.

You know, so enjoy these, enjoy these next five.

Yeah, enjoy these next five.

414-444-5250, phone lines are open.

414-444-5250, phone lines are open.

Shout out to everyone who is listening to us on Facebook Live and YouTube so that Kweku was checked in with the people.

on Facebook Live, so shout out to you.

Obviously, shout out to Zebra, Happiness Donuts.

George always checks in and everyone else who's listening on the internet.

And then I just want to give one last shout out to one of my best friends, Kamani, like a brother.

He had a birthday yesterday.

He turned 34.

You're getting old, man.

You're getting old.

Old as dirt.

You're getting old as dirt.

Still young, man.

Oh, yeah.

You're getting up there, but you don't get no younger, though.

What's up with my 30s?

You don't get no younger.

Carla, thank you for your patience.

You're on there.

How you doing?

How you

doing?

All right, yourself?

That post-partum depression has been serious.

You know, us guys, we don't go through that, but a lot of us have.

experienced it and didn't know what it was.

And it's hard to drop it, hanging with somebody who's experienced something of this nature.

But being here is that we as a people, we don't like to go get mental health.

You know, we

have... It stigmatized.

Yeah, we want to do this, do that.

And I would say get some mental health.

Quit trying to self-medicate yourself.

And it might cost some people down for a minute, but it comes back on you.

The situation comes back on you.

And I dealt with it with an individual.

And it hurt bad because you care about this person, but that man is not there.

It had to be a red flag with this woman who killed her three children.

It was the best life there.

But we see red flags, and we try to look past them all the way to be all right, but my mental illness is a

beast.

It's a beast, man, and you just imagine you take your babies out, and then you got a, I know a young lady who was going through some reglement, some other mental illness.

It wasn't for a part of us.

She did some horrible things to a child.

And never even dawned on her what she did was bad.

But as a people, again, I would say, as people of color, like people, we need to learn how to start sitting down and talking to someone about our issues.

And not only that, spiritually, and we had some

If we add some more spiritual stuff, we can go get some help too, because that will help us.

Instead of having a mile left of it and all of your glory poking and drinking or whatever they do at the end, you know, there's some of this music.

You know, what you put in is what you get now.

You've got to stop.

And you've got to meditate.

You've got to see some light at the end of that tunnel.

But if you keep yourself always self-medicated, you're not going to see no light.

Yeah, that's a good advice.

That's a good advice, especially because a lot of times when we self-medicate, it's usually with those drugs that we were talking about earlier, alcohol, marijuana, whatever other cocaine, pills.

you know and and then like I said earlier you know that's just to numb it momentarily but then when it went you know we we've all experienced them hangovers that next day you know it comes that pain come back tenfold

let's see the thing here and you said a big thing right there when they come back on you and you want to go numb it again you're gonna numb it even greater

mm-hmm

and you want nothing greater.

Now when you can't get rid of, you can't get a number to get it going.

Now when you can't get a number to get it going, what are you going to do next?

Who's your next victim?

Because that's what it is.

You got to remember, it's not just, life is not built up just about

us.

It's

seriously what you can do for somebody else and that's when you're at your best.

But we got to mend this to mind.

I play at our people.

I was looking at each other's face and I say, I hope we get some help.

God bless you.

Appreciate the call.

Carla, thanks for your patience.

You're on there.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Yeah, I was listening to you guys talk about, um,

not being addicted, marijuana not being addictive, but what do you think about the papers, the laps, uh, Swissers sweets and all these different flavors?

Um, it's not like that's regulated.

Um, I think it's addictive in itself, not knowing the chemicals that's in it.

Um, every corner gas station you go to in the city has a multiple, uh,

um variety of wraps that were um well i don't smoke anymore but um that uh these young people are are using and when i was young and when i did smoke you know we used tops zigzags and you know you smoke one joint weren't you joints and you were cool but now i see these guys you know they smoke one after blood after blood so to me it is some addictive behavior

If you got to continue to smoke just like a cigarette, right?

It's the raps and not the marijuana or it's both.

It's the both.

I mean, the raps like what I was saying that you take out the tobacco, but the rap is the one that's flavored and who's ready to maybe not just like the hookers.

People are addicted to those hookers and those are flavored tobacco that they put in that.

But who's to say what chemicals they're putting in that?

Yeah.

You know, because I mean, so many people, just about where you go, you see, uh, who is being sold?

Just like these webs.

I mean, and it's, it's many, many of the tools of different web companies.

And I don't think they give a damn about who they're selling it to, especially when it's mainly in the inner city.

You don't see it out in, uh, any of these rural areas or.

uh, uh, uh, places where we don't, you know, frequent.

Um, but yeah, that, that was just my

problem.

I think they smuggle weed.

I think they smuggle weed everywhere.

Yeah.

I mean, they smoke it, but I'm saying the wrap, right?

Cause I went to dispensaries in, uh, Portland and Seattle, Washington.

I

just wanted to see what it was like.

Yeah.

And it blew me away.

Uh, cause I was working for a company.

I didn't want them to know what I was doing early in the morning.

But that's another story.

I appreciate you.

We actually got it in the program.

Oh, yeah, it is.

Thanks

a lot,

guys.

Yeah, no problem.

Keep doing your thing.

You too.

You too.

Have a safe and productive weekend.

Thank you, Milwaukee.

Thank you, Clark Kent.

Who you with?

Thank you, Paso.

Bishop, chairman of the board.

Thank you, Keefy D. No, no.

No, Keefy Pee.

Hopefully, hopefully he's getting to

his

destination safely.

Good Lord willing, the creek don't rise.

We wish to be back with everyone on Tuesday because this is Labor Day weekend.

So everyone enjoy the weekend safely.

All right.

And as always, let's go from this place in peace.
