Good morning. Welcome to Community Voice. I'm your host Keith Harris. I want to thank everybody for joining us. I was watching. I don't know. I was waiting for us to come on YouTube this morning. And they showed the clip. They had the program where Michelle had to cover for me. And let me acknowledge this. She said I'm covering Keith's program. So she got the memo.
Because Mrs. Paris never allowed us to do radio shows. We had to do radio programs. What's happening, Clark? Who you with? I called him the Green Hornet. Kato, what's up? What's up, Kato?
What was better? Batman or the Green Hornet? Green Hornet. Green Hornet. Yeah, Black Beauty. Wait, so is that the same place where Bill Cosmo got the brown hornet from? I don't know. That was on the cartoon. It could have been. Because Green Hornet is DC comic, right? Yeah, yeah. It's DC, yeah. Yeah, it could be. Somebody called in when I asked which was better. They did, but they hung up. Call back.
Well, good morning. Good morning, gentlemen. Let me I had the opportunity Saturday to go to our colleague Carmen McGee is 60th birthday blessing. I wanted to show up. Oh, man. She she originally was supposed to be in the evening time. So I was slated and ready to go. And then when she changed it, it's around the time that I got it. You know, I got quad rehearsal. And I'm like, I want to go. But wow, happy birthday. And man, it was.
When I, you know, they, I didn't give remarks. I'm so shy. I didn't give remarks. But what I kept sitting there thinking that Carmen's beauty is Carmen's diversity. And how Carmen can move in all these different spaces. And you saw these folks from different spaces that Carmen moved into. And again, I've, man, I'm known Carmen close to 30 years. Her parents were my next door neighbor.
As a matter of fact, they were on the block before we got on the block, the McGears. And so it was, it was, it was beautiful, man. And, you know, to be able to get your flowers and smell them when you can still smell them. So anyway, so happy birthday. You know, I can't, you know, my management team don't allow me.
I be want to, but my management team be going like, dude. Speaking of Carmen, she is actually walking in right now as we are getting ready to speak. So I just want to acknowledge her as soon as she come through this. Great writer. I mean, if you've ever wrote the pieces, man, just so like I said, and I have become Carmen.
Come in come here looking like a ninja Happy birthday Yeah, cuz he cuz he cuz he ditched your bless

I'll be waking up on October 9.
in Puerto Rico. Put me in your suitcase. Okay, brother. We go on. Speaking of Puerto Rico, the parish priest is the first Latino and he is from Puerto Rico. Yeah. 150 years. I mean, I go back to the father map doctor.
Yeah, that and I had people, but it was good. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. And I said I didn't get up and speak because I'm shy. But your beauty is your diversity. There were so many people from different spaces there. That was Judge Grandland. Yeah, Judge Grandland. Yeah, there was a lot of people there. Who happens to be the first Latina. Officer on the City of Milwaukee police force, right? And then we had
She's Judge Barrios. Judge Barrios? Yeah. I got a, that's a funny. So I know when I get in trouble, who I'm calling, funny story. I had, I'd actually had the stroke that Sunday morning, but I went to work that Monday. And so I could, man, I was, it was bad. So at that point, she was chief commissioner, court commissioners, right? So
I call Rhonda. Rhonda is right across the way. She's working at sign. I come take me to urgent care. But before Rhonda could even get in the car, I said, no, I asked somebody to call the ambulance. I'm really fortunate because police station is two blocks, three blocks from the courthouse. Right. So as I'm sitting there waiting on the paramedics to come, you know, first of all, one of the commissioners, he's retired when I did my age. He said, he's not 60.
Okay, so we had that so now I'm sitting there and Then Commissioner Berry else. She looks at me. She's a key key Is there anything I could do I said you can stop looking at me like I'm dying It was beautiful sisters. Thank you. Thank you
You know when when your people at work one thing I like to say about
your inner house. If your inner house is good and your people within that inner house are good, the rest, your neighborhood, the rest, your community is going to be good. You know what I'm saying? I think if we start right where we're at, inside out, we good. So I feel blessed.
and and just blessed by uh on my community who showed out. So you know Kermit, Keith was telling us before you walked in that he had a song that he was going to sing to you. So Keith, you want to sing it? Tell them, tell them. I already know, I already know. That is something. You want to hear? I can't do it. My management, and I love you, but my management, I like you. I would, but it's, it's a management, it's a business.
Yeah, Clark, sing the song. Happy birthday.
I just the beauty of it all the beauty of it all and just to be able to
celebrate people. And Carmen has a fascinating story. And we all do. We all do. I was talking to someone last night. And we said, you know, we got to do this lunch. We had to do this lunch. We've been sending it for the last five years. I said, you know what? So at each other's funeral, right? Whoever gets up there, you can get upset. You know, because you're always that last
It gets kind of morbid that last time I saw somebody, you know, and then I get, I get, I'd be tripping at funerals until it happened to me. You know, because they hate I am, yeah, there you go, you know, but it happened to me and that happened with Kia, because I could literally say, I talked to that dude on Thursday.
or Bishop Lawrence Kirby. I saw that dude on Thursday. We get a phone call next week due to made his transition. So, you know, it will always say, I'm gonna let me cause, that's why people say, if somebody's on your mind, give them a call. Give them a call. Call and welcome to the program. That is true. To all you beautiful souls, how y'all doing? The ugly ones too, the one where being left out.
Hey, I got something else for you to laugh at today. We had a conversation about this thing several years from time back. Check this out, Keith. Do you know who got pro-rolled yesterday? The one officer that accidentally shot both of them? What was his name again? I'm sorry about that. In Texas? In his own apartment.
officer who got off ship and stopped doing it in his own apartment. She was in her unit. She was kind of prolonged. And she ain't even been there for 10 years yet. Yeah, they had denied her the first time. She didn't even come up on the news and ain't even being seen. It's been reported. Okay. Well, no, they're listening that I know I be having my ears open. It ain't on regular every day.
I ain't even hear you speak on it, so it must not be any kind of news. So I was just like throwing a rock in there to see if anybody else heard about it. Yeah, Thursday or Friday last week. Thursday or Friday or something, yeah. In Texas, yeah. I mean, but you know what they do, they look at them and they start feeling sorry for them because they got a puppy dog eyes and looks and you feel sorry for them.
Well, let her out. She couldn't hurt her fly, but she killed the innocent man. She killed the innocent man. That's that's just well and that but see that's the That's the piece about justice and You know, it's perception what people think justice should be You know, I all murders are not the same and
Even though it was a genuine it was I believe an accident someone still lost their life. You still have a consequence for that And the fact that she's a cop, you know, like people getting out it was like the cop who shot Laquan McDonald down in Chicago Where the judge gives him probation or the woman who had killed the young lady prior to Rodney King had killed the young lady out in LA
and she got probation. So justice is not blind by any stretch of the imagination. This is why people, when they were poo-pooing critical race theory, you need to understand critical race theory and how race permeates our justice system and their different outcomes based on what you look like. That's our reality. When I was asking the question last week about why we don't have the same outrage,
sometimes when a black person kills another black person and I said that you know because of race and the history right and so when we look at that systemically we just know that there's sometimes different outcomes you know OJ Simpson is an outlier you know I mean that he'd be able to walk but you know
Justice is justice, right? So man, what OJ does time for is still in his own stuff. Carla, welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. I was actually calling in to, I wanted to get some information.
on having someone come in to speak at my church in regards to the upcoming vote. I know that's something that Michelle was doing. And I'm not sure if she's still in the studio. She's gone. What church are you at? I'm at Greater Mount Sinai. Oh, OK. Yeah. That's Victor Davis. Absolutely, yes. OK.
Why don't you do this? Why don't you give your information to Jermaine, and we'll pass it on to Michelle. OK, sounds good. I appreciate that, man. I appreciate that. I just do. Sometimes it seems like the Black Church
Whether we want to or not, we're impacted by what happens politically, right? And so, you know, and I understand that certainly this was a movement until about the 80s. Pentecostals never got really involved in politics, right? They considered that the world until Ronald Reagan did the moral majority.
I mean got together with the more majority than other things in the Republican Party began around social issues began to engage Pentecostals In terms of that, but I think especially for black Pentecostals one of the things I love the church of God in Christ I love I'll say it three times. I love the church of God in Christ. I love the church of God in Christ, you know in terms of our history the last message Dr. King preached in Memphis
was at the historic mason temple church of god in christ they open up their doors it was such a ecumenical me if you ever go to memphis there's a a methodist church that's closed now and um they but that's where the people organize that's where they met so you know the black church in terms of our freedom has been such a part of it and i'm glad that i'm seeing more and more uh folks who traditionally might not have been involved or
And I should, when I used the word involved, I hope it's not, it seems to be rather imprecise, but to understand that these things do happen to us. And so anyway, appreciate it. So he got your information. We'll pass it on. Appreciate you, man. Okay. And thank you for listening. Caller, welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, I wanted to bring that back up about the office.
Well, I was stuck on it because they never did take her away and come. And then I found out a little later about the black judge in a couple of things that she was connected to and voted for and a couple of other things that she was connected to. And I was kind of wondering like,
Which you were saying but that up to me was about Murder and how it's brought up is treated different or it's done different or looked at different, but that the law is supposed to be As a law as in order, right? Hello, yeah, I said yeah, I was agreeing with you. Okay, so then
Why didn't in place the handcuffs on her? Turn around and walk her out. That's a good question. And I forgot. And I was always talking about it and everybody like, oh man, how many put it on her later on and look back at the door. I said, well, no. Every person that was guilty.
that just says arrest them or whatever and after giving them the sentence, they supposed to be placed in handcuffs. This did not happen with this person. And I can't find a picture, I can't find, and the way that they pushed, they just walked around and I was like, what? So then I was listening to how you were saying that, you know, it was a mistake. Man, everything a mistake, then, if you, the way you look at it like that.
Yeah, and I'm saying, but it was the only door that had a red net on both floors. I got it. I'm just saying that it would be different. But it ain't different, though. It is different. If I go in and it was my intent to go in and to kill that person,
It's different than I go in and I accidentally kill someone. So what are the degrees of manslaughter murder? That's why justice has to be mitigated. It depends on the circumstances, man. That's what I'm saying. All sides don't fit all. I understand that. I got that. You ain't going to drive that. I'm asking another question pertaining to that. I'm intelligent. So now what I want to ask you is, okay, if that comes up,
then what are the degrees of, you know, like I'm saying, you know, murder, sexual assault, you know, those different things where they got in the first degree, the second degree. I'm asking, where can I find that at? So, you know, where can I pull that hook? Because when I tried to used to go get it, they don't allow to book out the library. Oh, you can Google it. All right, I'm waiting for you to give me that information. I'll give a watch out. I'll die.
What time is it? Break time. And again, it's Amber Geiger and thank you happiness doughnuts and it's boffin Jean and who could ever forget her brother his brother just sitting there just going I forgive you I forgive you I forgive you and then the judge she's in tears Boy, I tell you man. It's part of the situation
with the young lady in massachusetts is see a lot of folks see themselves uh see themselves in um any other people right that's why you want more black jurors um because when i see the humanity i understand the backstory and though you're only supposed to consider the facts that ain't reality
Right. Human beings will do and they see what they see. You know, I joke. If you put my driver's license picture up and I'm accused of a crime, most people going to believe I did it just based on that picture. Right. So, yeah, but justice has to be mitigated. And because, like I said, all it's like, let's say I hit a pedestrian with my car.
It could be the pedestrian walked out. I didn't see the pedestrian bam. I hit us an accident I still could be charged with involuntary vehicle manslaughter, right? But let's say I'm drinking and I hit that person, right? There's another factor. So I think that also all All sizes don't fit And then you know people are
slow to want to charge law enforcement in general. I just see where Mensa is getting a $95,000 workman's comp settlement. This dude killed three people. Now all three of them tended to be people of color. I wonder what had happened if he would have shot a white dude in Madison Park who was sleeping in the car. Caller, welcome to the program.
Good morning. Good morning.
Um, let me do this as you as we good morning. If listeners are interested in presentation on the voting coming to voting coming to their church or organization, please announce that they can visit the League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County. That's www.LW. I can't read this. LW. Excuse me.
is that LWVM, yeah, League of Women Voters, milwaukey.org, click on the speakers bill link to complete the speakers request form. And there's a form on there that you can go in. And this is from Karen Nelson. She is one of the certified speakers. So again, if you're interested in having folks out, certainly let's not assume that everybody in the congregation knows what the deal is. Call her.
Hello. Good morning. Good morning. Can you hear me? Yeah. Okay. Um, I don't know if you brought this one up, you know, at that, uh, Chris, the pipe, you know, that was supposed to be, um, you know, she was at death row and they gave her the medicine to, you know, to sleep. And now it didn't work. And, and there's a lot of people now that are kind of
sympathizing with her, which is killing me. And I think to your point, the other humanity of things, what that woman did to that woman in the woods, the way she did it, I mean, it's horrific. And I can't believe that people think that she should just be released now that this is a botched execution.
And I just, I don't know, I think I'm glad. And then the other one that you were talking about, there was a plan to go with that one juror. I'm very happy that that one juror held out because, I mean, she killed three children. I mean, there has to be consequences for this. And if we keep looking the other way,
all that stuff. You're just going to see more people, uh, to increase your stance in the future. And I think that's one of the problems that we're happy about is that we don't have the consequences. We're holding some people responsible. And it's the oldest or whatever, but it's, you know, there has to be consequences. So do you support the death penalty? I do. Has it been proven that states
with the death penalty have a lower murder rate than other states because the data kind of says that and people in whatever if they're in a sociopathic kind of state, if they're in a psychopathic state of mind, if they're in a emotional state of mind, they're not set up to think about the consequences of their actions. So I don't know if that would be a deterrent.
I remember as a kid, you know, when, you know, Jeffrey Dahmer was alive and doing his, you know, heinous crimes against other individuals, then there was Kermit. He was killed in prison along with that other guy, Jesse Anderson, in prison. But there aren't that many executions to begin with. So I think
We have to work at the fact that, yes, I think you're right, I don't think there's a huge difference, but to say a token, it's not like we're executing hundreds of people every single year. It's a few here and there, but I don't think it's, you could get a death row for 30, 40 years, but by then, they could actually just be dying off even before the execution.
I think, though, there are some people out there that are just pure evil. And I think that that woman in Massachusetts is pure evil. I mean, again, they're blaming postpartum and medicine. I mean, she had to think about after the third kid, which, okay, I just killed my third kid. I mean, that's not normal. I mean, it's...
I think the people have to understand that he, as a society, and obviously the internet, I think, is also part of the problem. We have a lot of people are trying to talk and chat. Certainly. You know what happened before the internet? Yes. And I'm not, it's funny now, there wasn't a lot of
of Catholic theology that I absorbed. And then this is the contradiction for me, because I believe in a woman's right to a safe abortion, but at the same time, I'm not a proponent of the death penalty. I just don't see. And because my father was murdered, I think it wouldn't have brought my father back. Now, you get some sense of vengeance that you have.
But, and then again, I just don't see it as being a deterrent because people act on their passions, people act on their psychosis, people act, you know, like someone like Charlie Manson was a sociopath, right? So, you know, I mean, I understand where there's a position out here, but you know, America is one of the few Western countries that still does the death penalty.
a lot, because even they won't extradite you from Mexico to America if you are going to a state where it's more difficult, where there's a death penalty. Yeah, and I will say this, I would make one change, I know people might feel like, what would you really need to change? I would not do a lethal injection because there have been situations where, you know, I guess it's hard to find the right
No, Michelle talked about it. The problem is that they're using drugs that's supposed to be used to preserve life to take a life. And so now you have a, it's an ethics issue that you have in terms of, you know, the medical community, because why are you doing that to even have a judge? Now in my mind, they have her a life support right now, which is kind of ironic.
and apparently she requested to be hung and they do have that they have both where you could hang somebody and firing squad. And one reason they said no we're going to do it this way now the person that was running that prison whatever it was supposed to do was sign I think just a couple days ago and I don't know that has
So can I, can I, can I, it's interesting. I'm looking at, um, in our chat, um, uh, Ben Clinton, he says, maybe she should just start a daycare since everybody is okay with her killing her kids. She would be a great mother figure. No, I don't think that that's the argument. The argument is, and that's what I said. Justice has to be mitigated. What was her state of mind in terms of when she did it? Here's the intro thing. I hear more men.
And I thought it was interesting that a man was the holdout was because men don't deal with postpartum depression. Men don't deal with that. So it's kind of hard for a man to kind of wrap his arms around this idea of what is mentally and physically going on. You want to hold on?
And I can get you, I need to take a break. Hey, you listen to Community Voice, the phone lines open 414-444-525-0. 414-444-525-0. We'll take a quick break, we'll be right back. With your host, Keith Parrist. All right, Collie, you still there? Yes, I'm still here. Go ahead, man. So, I will say one, I'll bring up a different situation.
closer to home here. If you remember Daryl Brooks Jr. back in, I think it was Christmas of 21. He took his car and he mowed down like 70 or 63 people or whatever. It was a large amount of people. Six died. Some were permanently disabled for the rest of their lives. In grand, he did get life sentences on the sixth homicide. Like 400 years.
Yeah, I just personally have a hard time Look at what he now he apparently had a domestic Abuse situation going on so he decides to take it out on innocent people And now most people are effective forever without their loved ones and other people that did make it They're gonna be crippled
for the rest of my summer's people. And I just think that if we had the depth penalty, I'd be all for it. That guy would be, you know, it's definitive and there's no question that, you know, he was the one who did it. You know, there's witnesses, everything. I think that that's another thing that we have to look into is to what exactly happened. And you have these
situations where it's a case-by-case basis. And when that happened, here we got all these people watching at Christmas parade, and this guy just says, oh, no, I'm just gonna, you know, just randomly just take my car. I'm not defending Darryl Brooks. I understood that Darryl Brooks, and I predicted that he would be part of all Republican ads going forward.
But my understanding was that he panicked. He was trying to get away from a domestic abuse situation, made the wrong turn and instead of stopping, he kept going. And so, but even it doesn't change what you have described. The carnage is the carnage. Wisconsin does not have a death penalty, but I don't know if a death penalty would have stopped him from doing what he was going to do. I mean, I don't, I just think when people.
Again, or in the throws of passion, we throw away judgment, right? And then after the fact, we go, oh, oh, oh, okay. But at that point, and then I guess I need to ask you the question, what is the benefit to society if society is killing killers? Well, you know, the benefit is that they're not getting three squares a day and not getting a bed.
They're not going to get to live out the rest of their life. They get to live the rest of their life. It's in prison, yes. But they still get to live how many years to get to live. And I think whereas the other people don't have that opportunity and the other families, because of the facts, obviously the people are gone, but it has repercussions throughout the community.
And I look at it from that standpoint that there's going to be a whole generation of people that are traumatized for that for the rest of their lives. And so I guess that's where I sit with that. I had a very bad situation last year myself on Good Friday. It wasn't a murder or anything, but I had my
dog with me and my dad was in the hospital. I was gone for less than four minutes and and some guy was talking and they called my key fob and next thing I know um my car is gone, my dog is gone, there was three kids and we found out later we got our dog back luckily but they trucked her in the interstate and I'm 43 and woke up to the avenue and it took off and Facebook
and WTJ did a news report that day, and I was just mortified, you know, that my dog is gone, and people say, well, let's steal, let's just steal a dog. The thing is, we've had her for almost, at that time, it was 13 years, now she's 14, and she's part of the family, and she's just a little, this little 10 pound,
dog that's full of love and she was, I don't know, it was just, it was a sickening feeling. And I can only imagine when something, you know, much worse, where somebody actually gets murdered or kidnapped, you know, you're looking with Savannah Guthrie, what happened to her mother. I mean, most people I think should be, you know, if they ever,
catch them, and Arizona does have the death penalty. They should get the death penalty. They killed a lady and affected the rest of that family forever. And so I guess that's where I stand with it. All right, man. Appreciate you. Thank you for the comments. Thank you for listening. Carter, welcome to the program. Hello? Good morning. Yeah, you know, I was listening.
What about the lady, and this hasn't been bought up and I jotted my memory weeks back and I never thought about it because I'm too busy to fool around with that stuff. But what about the lady that pushed her kids in the river, in the car? She got about 30 years. 30 or 40 years.
Let me pull it up, but Susan Smith in South Carolina, and she blamed right now. No, no, no, she said that a black man She did and they were out looking for a black man Now see the old black caucus in DC they came up with this law This anti-limiting law the in honor of
the gentleman that was killed in Mississippi in the deal. Listen, they came up with a anti-Lynching bill, which was really a paper tiger because we already got those kind of laws on the book. Now what they should have did, I'm gonna show you something, man, that black caucus is full of hokey pokey, what they should have did.
because the lady on her death bed said she wanted to die peacefully with a clean conscience. But the material really didn't do what she said he did. She held to the secret all these years. Her name was Carolyn Bryant. What they should have did is created a Carolyn Bryant law that if you lie or do anything like that, and it caused the taking of a life of a human being or whatever.
you should be charged with that crime as well. That would have been more of a real, perhaps inviting it, because an anti-lynching bill would benefit nobody but other communities, not ours, because we already on debt with that kind of stuff. No, what the anti-lynching bill would do would make lynching a federal crime. And that means that then you would be able to bring the full weight of the US government in terms of prosecution.
So it is it would be it would be a benefit to anyone who is lynched Well, wouldn't it make more sense the person that created it was an honor. It was the woolly lynch. I mean not the woolly lynch but the uh, but the teal the teal deal It was an honor of him wouldn't it made more sense because we got women That I that I that I put in this stuff every day. We got them pulling this stuff right now. I bet you somebody got
killed last night because some woman said, Hey, he over there. He came outside the church's chicken and somebody went to man, what you do? No one in kills. I don't know where that I don't know where this misogynism came in, but appreciate you're getting a call. No, no, no, no, no, I'm finished. It's not misogyny. It is, man. Cause you're talking about whatever those motivations, whatever those motivations are, right? Part of the situation with Susan Smith was she was having a relationship with a guy.
He was saying he didn't want to have kids. So she figured, okay, I killed my kids and then I can be with him. And by the way, she got 2 concurrent life sentences. She just her 1st. Possibility for parole was in 2024. It has been denied. So, I mean, I. I think I don't.
Why did you all sudden take a turn and start saying I don't know where this misogyny is automatically attacked? You said a bit talked about a woman telling a dude something something he went to death. I did deviate because the lady that pushed them babies into that dog on time said a black man. I mean a black man. Of course. And so did Mr. Anderson here when he killed his wife. And because people were so happy.
Right, but people are so apt to believe that it's the Central Park Five, right? We're so apt to believe that black men are more... I mean, it's a law at that point. All right, it's not just women. It's a woman. A man, men do it too. Men come outside the same place. And if I can get back to the case in Massachusetts,
where, like I said, I thought it was interesting that the holdout was a male and the argument that they were making was postpartum psychosis. For men, because we don't deal with postpartum disease or postpartum afflictions, I think it's hard for us to put ourselves in the place of a woman where women kind of can understand
that to the point because many of them who've given birth to children are probably experienced it in some form. The lower collar made a good point. He said after the first kid, she realized what no life there looked like something would have snapped on. What have I done? Oh my God. Okay. This lady was, this lady had, it seems as though she kind of planned it out. Now the lawyers you see,
is going back for them to present another case. They say that they don't even know if she really did it. You understand what I'm saying? Right. I got all that. Her defense lawyer, her defense lawyer has a responsibility to do every defense that he or she can for their client. Whether we like it or not, that's, I mean, if I was sitting down there, I would want my lawyer to do whatever he could to help me beat that case. Well, of course. Now, if you was on the jury, what would you would have did if you was a jury? Would you would have
But after looking at the facts and the case, would you would have went with the rest of the people or would you have said, hey, man, this lady committed murder? What would have been you put yourself in that? What would you would have said? I don't know. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit through all the evidence. I didn't sit
that's kind of like saying I was going to ride with the people with the with the majority. And in that case, the brother didn't get out and sometimes the majority is wrong. I can't I said sometimes the majority is wrong. That's right. That's right. And in a case like that, you know, it was the majority of the Sanhedrin Council. It was the majority of the Sanhedrin Council who wanted to see Jesus dead. Were they right?
Well, can I say something? Yes, they were right that description. I didn't say it right. I said right. You would never change. I didn't say right. I said right. Yeah, they were right. Okay. All right, I appreciate it. They had to carry out scripture. They had to carry out the description. My people scripture could be wrong. And it can certainly be wrong. It can certainly be wrongly applied. You know, right now in Sunday School, we're dealing with Joshua, right?
And and you know from going from the wilderness to the promised land But one of the little problems with this narrative is what the Hebrew people did when they got in the promised land and they did ethnic cleansing they did genocide I don't Jesus God number God number described down with a God number to cry You know, we're saying that God justified genocide and I'm saying no I do not believe
that God justifies genocide. I think people. We're serving a God that understanding is not like ours. You can say that until you the victim of the genocide. Okay, can I say something to you? No, when you the victim of the genocide, you have a very different view.
of the justification used, i.e., God. When you are an enslaved African and they use God as justification for your enslavement, you have a very, you should anyway, have a very different view of what God is and who God is and how God is comporting God with us. I mean, and so I think the best,
People have used scripture to justify all kind of aberrant behavior Manifest destiny where you know, we go from the east to the west here in America The Bible was used as a justification for that and what I'm saying is I cannot I will not use scripture as a justification for aberrant behavior I'm trying to figure out you got a chance to do dr. Carter's phone That was a very that was a very prestigious
place space to be in man in this city and uh you got a chance to eulogize him so you say and i believe you uh but for you to eulogize a man um i i'm still trying to figure it out man because you eulogize a lot of these people that you and i used to eulogy is to speak well of a person that has nothing to do with theology they're speaking well of a person
And if we can use... You're crossing theology up. No, I'm not crossing theology up. I will not... You accepted theology as the truth, man. I will not move from my square when it comes to using Scripture as a means to do negative, evil, criminal things. I just won't. If you were to fill us things...
and you would and you were the children of israel and you felt that uh if you had war you would so you you you were telling me that you really you really i don't want to say it over the radio but you really unhappy with this country being involved with uh with with with with with wars yes yes you are yes what if you attacked here in this country if you attacked here i ran i ran attacked us right
What do you mean Iran attacked they attacked us, right? Well, well if you look at some of the embassies that we've had around Iran attacked us, right? As a matter of fact a lot of those bombings that we saw at embassies were not Shia. It was Sunnis
people who came from Saudi Arabia. It doesn't make any difference. It does make a difference. I just have been asked you, you talked about why I have a problem with this particular war. Iran did not attack us. And we use false pretenses to go to war with Iran. Have we been under constant threat? Everybody's threatening. China threatens. Russia threatens.
We're not going after them. I understand China's people out in the middle of the street saying death to America. They did great Satan. I haven't seen that. OK, and they have the right to feel that way. What does that have to do? That's not an attack. That's that's expressing an opinion. I appreciate you. I got to go to a break. You listen to community voice. Four four four four five two five zero.
They call me a day. Oh, so then you bomb them into next year. Come on, man Welcome back I was watching something and the guy was drinking he had a drink and He was drinking bourbon and he said it like bourbon with branch water
And I was trying to figure out what is branch water? Branch water traditionally refers to water taken from a natural stream creek or branch in the southern United States. Traditional whiskey mixer, historically it is the water mix with bourbon in a classic bourbon and branch. Distilleries in Kentucky were often built alongside natural streams and local streams. Waters was used to cut or approve down the whiskey.
And then they do a line stone filtration. Okay. I just I saw and I said, man, what is French war? Someone had to explain me what a small batch was. That means it's just a limited number of the unlimited amount of that particular bourbon or scotch or whatever, whatever people drink. Um, I tell you who's flying out of the radio as we shift gears here, the Badgers.
They went in the Penn State to be Penn State and they'd be Michigan State Saturday Yeah, maybe you'll keep this job for another year. It looks like they're probably gonna be bald eligible this year. That's something that didn't happen last year. So We will we will see I won't spend a whole lot of time on the Packers, but I can say this the injuries are mounting They just lost Was it Edger and Cooper?
Yeah kill these and you saw it too soon as it happened because he went to take off Yeah, then he looked back because I'm watching the game and he looked back and grabbed us. I'm like Those are the worst ones the non-concept. Yeah, oh man, if you ever had any pulling or ever ever torn one But you know and again because time Todd bowls is an alum of Mount St. Mary's
I hate that he's going to lose this job. I don't know if he's going to get through the whole season. Tampa Bay, and then what Baker Mayfield is out. Though the young kid was playing quarterback Daniels, he went bad. He went bad yesterday. Yeah. Daniels actually should have been drafted. Yeah. Because the way he played, you know, he's mobile. He can move. He got an arm. Got an arm.
for like some of these other quarterbacks that got drafted before him? No, man. Let me say this. I know a lot of people love Jordan. Is it Jordan love? Yeah. Yeah, he he he. We don't we don't have to make a decision in a year. All right. Yeah. What a crazy year for the Packers, man.
you know, just, just, but anyway, they won. So that, that made it. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but for the long run, it's where the issue is going to be because all these entries that's piled up from the office of line, even though on the defense side, it's just like, okay, CC got hurt. Yeah. Yeah. The rookie. Yeah. He looks like he's going to be a monster. Yeah. Yeah.
But hey, okay, but hey the great thing is I don't have to focus on the Packers Because we have the Brewers and we have the Brewers between the Packers and the Bucks Speaking of the Bucks they play today. Yeah and the Bucks, but let me let me say man to be able to Watch and I'm back in I'm back in the baseball. Yeah
And I'd been kind of, you know, the brewers were winning and, you know, we didn't, it was last year we won the burgers. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We won burgers like 12, 12 straight or something like that. 12 straight or something like that. I thought it was more than that. 12 straight. So we had the burgers last year, I remember, because Frankie lives in the dorm down at MATC and the lines were, well, I dropped them off and the lines were lining up, man, for people getting those burgers. He said he walked over and got one. Smart man. Yeah, so,
But man, if you look at, and I watched a couple of things. I watched the Braves and the Dodgers last night. And surprisingly, the Braves have tied up that series. And so even though everyone says the Dodgers are built for the World Series, and the Brewers did pretty well against the Braves this year.
But I was telling right out and I was telling my buddy last night when we were talking about the Brewers. They had to win both games here. They had to win both games here. It wasn't because they have struggled in San Diego. Plus, San Diego's part is the hitter's part. Well, and the piece was...
I think they beat the Dodgers when that series, and then they went down and got basically swept, you know, by the Padres. So they had to, and this is the thing that I like about this Brewer's team, man. Oh, there was a moment when Terang and Bowers had the back-to-back errors where I think the bigness of the moment hit them. Man, I'm going to tell you, the moment we were standing there on Friday night.
When that bar if the Saturday Yeah, Saturday, I'm sure Saturday if the roof would have been open that's home run and game would have been over and and We would have came into game two down. Oh one or if it would have took a different angle Yeah, well, yeah, I mean because it hit and then it came straight down Well, it didn't come straight down it came at an angle, but it went in a far enough angle
that it felt to have been like this, it would have went over the wall. Well, thank God, was it Cheerio? Yeah, Cheerio. That he made the play. He was aware either way. He was aware of it, that it was going to be in play. Man, so then that and then again, getting down to basically your last strike. Doc, three balls, two strikes, bases loaded. Bases loaded. That's like equivalent to you playing in your backyard and you doing a countdown or playing ball. Well, I think they also benefited from, was it Wells?
The reliever for the closer. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he did two innings Saturday night Yeah, he he just ran out and like people call and I and this is a term I've just heard about this year in baseball They talk about the first time through the lineup the second time through the lineup The third time they didn't figure you out, right? They didn't figure you out and so And they were even saying that the dude who pitched for them yesterday No, it was a dude Saturday
where usually he runs into trouble the second time around. It's rare that these guys get through the third time where they haven't figured them out. Now Trevor, on Saturday, Trevor really got into a little trouble because I don't know if he walked the guy or if he gave up that hit, that was a basic that they hit into right field, left field, I'm sorry. And the guy got on base, which was the tying run.
So then that following play was when the guy came up and hit the ball and he hit the beam on the roof and they were saying out of all of the years of that stadium been only happened twice. Yeah. That's the second time it's happened, but it has never hit on on that. But you know, in that particular area, it has never hit on the beam. And like you said, what if the roof would have been open if it had been open? It would have been a home run all day. It had been a home run all day because one.
Our park is built like the Houston Astros Park. So it's it's the same similar, you know distance It's the same similar build out and if that roof would have been open that wind would have carried that ball Over and yeah, we were lost in the we'd lost that game because we was in the ninth inning. Yeah Well, yeah, but we still had the bottom of the night. Yeah, but all of the wheel would have been sucked out of the builder
Yeah, if that would have happened, let's say on the road, you know, as you say. Yeah. So it has been, man. If if you if I've been patient, I was told to write out about what I didn't eat until after those games because I would have I would have been knocked out. And I did kind of dozed off. You know, Ron is in Portland.
And so she called me there two hours behind in terms of time. And so she had called. I kind of dozed off in the third quarter of the Packer game. But by the fourth quarter, you know, you could kind of, you know, the Packers made me mad. But the Packers are better than the Buccaneers. I mean, that, that, that is, no, they are, they better than the Buccaneer. Wait, wait, wait. No, on paper they are. No, and on paper and they played like they were better. Even with the injuries, they were still able to hold on to the game. If they would have had.
They started quarterback. They would have won that game because you put a you put a rookie in the heat of situation. Well, I guess they they they miss Mr. Evans right now. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. But even without Evans, if you had Baker and I don't like Baker at all, Baker makes it. I don't like him. But but he would have made better choices than the rookie quarterback that has. And if you red zone was so good yesterday,
that first window, because a lot of these games came down to the Giants, pick six to win. Yeah, pick six, pick six, they were going the other way. You know, it was, it was, it was good. It was good. But all that going on and watch the, watch the dream just whoop up on the Liberty. Dream is actually pretty good. Now, what was that? Alicia Gray out.
with the with the hand and so in a shooting hand, we'll see what happens with that. So it was a great weekend for sports. You know, thank you because it could be really tough. I saw a lot of Packer gear, so that means Packers won. Yeah, but but man, I'm gonna be honest with you, man. We still almost lost that game because if.
Who was that Williams that came in and actually got that sack that was holding on to? Evans, Evans. He's one of the best safeties in the game right now. So he was he was holding on to his leg. But doc, if he would have got out of that, they would have got the first time. Right. And I think the difference is you got a rookie quarterback. Baker Mayfield might be some very different. I'm telling you, man, that would have been a totally whole different scenario. Yeah. So it was it was it was.
That was good. Great sports weekend. Great sports weekend. Sometimes you need the diversion, right? Dread and circus. Man, when everything's going on in the world. This morning, James Cawsey, I don't know if it was this morning's paper yesterday, he wrote an article about Jasmine Guy and aging.
And, well, I'm kind of on it. No, I'm talking about days. No, I mean, I think it elicited a lot of things for me in terms of when it first happened, you know, the response to seeing her on the remake of It's a Different World. I was wondering when what's her name was going to get there, Lewis. Oh, yeah. Yeah, she looked good. But it, now people may or may not know.
And I had to look it up to confirm it That Jasmine guy is half African-American half Portuguese I Don't know how her father got that church in Atlanta her father's a preacher or I don't know if he's still living and so he pastored the historic friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia and that whole thing about and and
So James talked about a couple of things and he talked about, you know, his formative years watching a different world and how some of these folks, they kind of grew up with Jasmine Guy, right? But it also got to colorism and there was a charm I had never heard before
Um, called. What is it? It's, uh, oh, misogyny, misogyny noir, where it is misogyny directed specifically at black women. And, um, now nobody talked about how Kadeem Hardison.
You didn't recognize him. He looked like that dude love. I didn't recognize him at first. I'm going, oh, is that the Wayne Wayne? Yeah, he got big, but we don't have the same reaction to men and how men age the way that we had when it comes to women and women aging, right? And and and there was some there was some sisters back in the day who didn't like Jasmine Guy because they thought Jasmine Guy was getting over because she was light bright.
Right. So that's the whole colorism piece that we have in terms of that. But I knew that she was. And then the other thing is how we age is jeans. Right. If you see my 92 year old mother, she just looks great. Right. It's jeans. It's also pretty much how you lived your life. You know, because there are people who are younger than me who look older than me. Right.
Not that I've lived my life. I know when DJ Heinz was on and I told him how old I was. He said, oh man, you lived up. I guess he was trying. I don't know if he was saying a real safe life. I was like, dude, no, that ain't even close. But there's some people out there, man. They put it in. They put the work in dealing with the residual effects later on in life. And again, it's random because it's your genes, right? I mean, it's all those things that's your environment.
It kind of goes into kind of goes into how we respond. But I thought his whole thing was and is not fair. But unfortunately, women have always been judged on their appearance first. And then, you know, whether they're smart, generous, artistic was always, you know, how she looks first. And
I don't know how we changed that as a society. There are also those Eurocentric standards of beauty when we look at at at folks. I don't know. I don't know. I think there's a lot goes into it. But the fact that we were having that debate and you know, it turns into something where it's external. Now most white people were looking and probably didn't even know the Jasmine guy looks different. She looked different than she did in Harlem nights.
You know, but again, that was what 90s So we all get older we are I remember this woman saw me when I was kids She must had a crush on me. So when I got older I'd gain weight I don't have a fro anymore. She's like, who are you like? Hey, man, we all change right and then there's some other people man They look exactly like they look when we was in middle school You know and you go like wow dude, I mean I'm talking
Can you still fit that Parkman gym suit? Anybody remember those Parkman gymsuits? They were pretty tight. Carl, welcome to the program. Well, I know you were talking about how people look. It all depends on how you take care of yourself. Now, if you have some heavy drugs or some heavy liquor, you're going to look like a several-word Texaco, but hey, you got wisdom. But then you have some who?
take care of themselves. You know, we're all going to age, but it's how you take care of yourself. But I don't know why, you know, they will talk about how women look and look. She can see herself up or she could wear a trash dress and a construction book, and he's still going to cheat on her and bring her outside, baby, and they ain't going to find and tell the funeral. But Michelle brought up some other examples, and they just talked about light bright. When you talk of someone like Lena Horne,
Who you know was gorgeous until she died or you know, you looked at someone like Miss Diane Carroll. Oh my god How that woman looked in her 70s, you know, so I think it's random too though Al I think is your genes, you know in terms of what your family, you know, I mean all those things kind of Align themselves, but you're right man if you put it in, you know your diet all those things that we don't we don't think about
of the impact of alcohol, the impact of drugs, you know, there's, and then just trauma in your life, just stress. Because I was gonna, because stress can age you too, which means some of you women might have to file for divorce.
Some of y'all don't have peace for households or vice versa. If there's always drama or somebody picking your brain or somebody accusing you of something they already do on it, sign the divorce papers. Because if you're an adult, you're going to be stuck with a bunch of cars that's broken down in a driveway and a bunch of outdated clothes nobody wear. And you can't do that to a good willful. Just don't throw it in the garbage and do self-preservation of mind, spirit, and soul. Take out the garbage. Bye-bye. Appreciate you.
Yo, y'all was talking about tight clothes, right? What was the movie with Chris Farley and David Spade? Big guy in a little coat. I see some dooms. I'm just going to talk about the dooms, right? Like, dude.
You know that coat too little knows and I think is it most deaf with black star? They have the song questions and they ask the queen Why you wearing that shirt when you know it's too tight? It's common in most. Yeah, but why are you wearing it? It is too tight too tight Yeah, you know you see you see some dudes man, especially some of these dudes in choirs. I don't hey man It's too tight dog. I'm just saying that's nothing about the pop. So you ever saw that the Seinfeld episode
when Kramer and the little short guy that was doing the the reading for this play and Kramer put on these tight pants. He was walking like and he couldn't sit out so he was doing the the reading monologue. He was telling him to sit out. He couldn't sit out so he was on the chair like this. Yeah, that's how these cats be looking man. Yeah man, you are all skin tight. Yeah, you just just all up in and these be some these be some round dudes. Yeah.
You know what? I'm going like dog. That that ain't that ain't fit it. That's tight. That's too little. Ground, ground. Call a welcome to the program. Good morning. What's up my brothers? What's happening man? Not much man. A couple things. Where where where where was it that uh big guys came into uh being cool and when they didn't used to be cool and
Then all of a sudden it was just cool to be big right right And in the 90s, you know, we were those big hanging out zoosuits, right? Oh man when the when the micro came in it was like it deals was trying to get up in them like dude No, I don't like tight clothes. I didn't like tight clothes in the 70s. I don't like tight clothes I find it really hard I go out shopping and I just have to come home cuz everything is like tight. Yeah, it's like
I don't know, you know, you might have to let me know where to go because I'm like, I got to get out of here. Yeah, or you might have to go up a suit size, right? No, you know how to pan so, so tapered at the bottom. I can't, oh, I can't stand that. But a couple things, man, I, and I don't want to drag her anymore than she'd be in drag, but I didn't think, uh, Jasmine got was actually it anyway. I don't know if I'm just wanted to point that out. Uh,
And she had a real funky attitude Yeah, just never came off to me that you know, he was what I would consider that but um The other thing too, man when you plan you plan where you plan, right? Well three why the court in as big as normal court, but you step outside that line you're out, right, right? So, you know that and in regards to at the ballpark
That's what they plan as. Home field advantage. Yeah, you know, but they both were playing with it too. Yeah, you know what I mean? Oh, well, yesterday the shadows, the shadows and how, but they said, look, it's affecting both pitchers, both teams, hitters, you know, because that's why dude was able to get through those first couple rounds because they really, I mean, first couple of innings, they couldn't really see the ball.
How many y'all got high death because man when they show you now and you can see the ball spinning? Oh, that's crazy, man It is and then this one other thing on the earlier topics It's something to me how people just want they pound the flesh, you know when something goes down, right get them get them You know and I tell you You kill somebody you brought into this world
And I know a lot of times they might make you want to, but you think about it. You can't get there. Unless I'm wrong with you. Right. Well, not that they just get off scot-free, but what's wrong with you? And I think because the defense was postpartum that a lot of men didn't really understand that. That's what I'm sensing. That, you know, because it's, we don't, we don't,
It's not anything we've experienced and as much as I tried to be is it being empathetic sympathetic? It is I still haven't I Have it's like when brothers get to talking to women about childbirth a none of us ever birthed no babies Right, right. So the pain everything that goes along with it man. Hey, I saw mr. Crowley Oh And I didn't talk to you I saw I saw Trojanowski
Yeah, I did hear you on the radio. Okay. But yeah, I saw Mr. Crowley, you know, R.C. Pass, R.C. Schmidt. Oh, right, right, right. And I was at, I went to the funeral and Mr. Crowley came in and I was telling Rick the story. I said, you know, when your brother first did R.C.'s, me and Kenny was over there pulling pipes. You remember we were over there, he paid us a nice little piece of money for that.
I remember that. But yeah, I was out of town listening, and I wish I could have made that, man. I just got back in. Yeah, and then one other thing, David Crowell's funeral is Saturday. I don't know if you remember, Dave? Yeah. If you get a chance, hit me up with the info. Right, yeah, because, and maybe you get a chance, because Henry Merrow is always asking me about you. So I'm going to get a chance to see Henry.
Okay, I'll get that to you man. Yeah. All right, man. I appreciate I appreciate you man. All right. You're listening to Geez you told me we're gonna take a break. Oh, okay.

Then you ain't for the root awakening by the time you're 50 So I think I think she took pretty good care of herself But the stress or the stress of Hollywood can can age and wrinkle anybody. Oh, yeah I'm done brother matter appreciate you But even when they did that to park documentary they shot her in shadows. They didn't they didn't she didn't want to be You know and look acting as a parent, especially being movies
television is what you look like but there's been some other sisters Pam Greer still she passed a few years ago but Rosalind cash or I was man I love Rosalind cash so much man she just had this beautiful afro I give you somebody else man Abby Lincoln
The sister that was married to. You say that I think. Johnny Cash. Rosalyn Cash. Wasn't her name Rosalyn Cash? Yeah. What was Johnny Cash's wife name? Oh, yeah. Right. Rosalyn wrote. Yeah. She was Carter. Yeah. Yeah. Call her. Welcome to the program. Good morning, Miss Perish. Hey, what's up? How are you, brother?
Um, yeah, uh, did you say like Rosalind Cache, infected lady that was made to the white man? No, no, that's what that's what Debo said. I'm like, whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. She was a the Carter family was really big and white southern and quartets their families. Um, but yeah, no, but Rosalind Cache, have you seen tales from the hood?
Yep, yep. Remember that sister? She was the doctor? I think so, yeah. Yeah, with the locks. That's Rosalyn Cash. Oh, okay. Because I was about to be rude. No, she was fine back in the day and she was even fine when they did. Tells from the hood. Alright, it's more like a PSA. Alright, I was at work and
I'm not going to name anybody's name or anything like that. This is crazy, because this happened with another black person. I was working, and unbeknownst to myself, I have been keeping up on the terminology in the streets about what these things are called. So there was this guy who just started working here with me, and I'm like, well, he didn't work together, but we were sort of similar, similar things. But I was like just doing my job, whatever.
And the man asked me, he said, do I smoke missiles? And I was like, missiles? What the hell are you talking about? I was like, you know, missiles are used to blow up countries and, you know, destroy people. That's what governments do to other governments or something like that. And he's like looking at me like, what are you talking about? I'm like, I'm like, what are you talking about? I was like, people can't smoke missiles because yeah, you don't smoke a missile. You know, it makes no sense to me. And then, but all along, because I just talked to a friend who was like,
who knows the terminology, street terminology. Do you know what a missile is, Mr. Parrish? I'm about to tell you. Okay. Tell me. What is it? And I just found this out. I was so upset. This man came to me asking about a missile, and a missile is the equivalent of crack. It's the car word for crack or crack pipe. Really? Yes. That's what I was like. I was like, what? First of all, are people still smoking crack? Yes. That's what I was like back then, too. That's what the hell did they do talking to me about some crack?
How did you beat the drug test if you were here talking about misses? Oh, you can beat the blood. The drug test? Because cocaine only stays in your system two to three days. Okay, that's why. He cracked out. But he was so ecstatic about it. And I'm like, that's why you must think I'm a crack kid and you're going to be crack friends or something like that. I was about to go to HR on him until I talked to another person. They were like, just stay away from him.
I'll do my best to avoid him, but every time I look up, he coming in where I'm working at. I don't know what I said. Should I be standoff? He's like, get the hell out of here? Well, it's hard to recruit people to be a crack kid. I'm not a crack kid. I'm not going to be a crack kid. You know? You ain't pookie. No. Do you see how they be looking? Crack kids, here's something else to go with this crack story. Crack kids can be really devious people.
My brother had a friend who his sister got on crack. She pushed her mama down stairs for some crack. You know what's the equivalent for white folks? Crystal meth. Oh, okay. Yeah. Crystal meth. You know what I find this down. I'm so glad that Crystal meth never picked up in the black community. But Crystal meth is white folks crack. Now crack was bad enough.
right crystal meths both from both speed right they both they both destroyed you it looked so horrible and so messed up and here's another thing then I go because some of these people aren't correct I guess it destroys their vision because they look at themselves and they be thinking that they like dying pieces and like America's neck top model or something like that and they and they be looking real real real bad now if you aren't correct that's your fault you shouldn't be hanging around with people
They got you strung out on crack. You shouldn't have got that sad in your life and just say to hear everything. I'll just smoke the pipe. Like smoke the pipe is gonna make your life better. And you see Dave Chappelle's last stand up. And he was talking about the difference. Thank you for taking my call. Talked about the difference between the cocaine ladies and the weed ladies.
He was talking about how fine the cocaine ladies are. They aren't trusted. He said, here come the weed smoking women. They don't wash their feet. You know, it's just like they're all natural. Just nasty, you know, just, uh, yeah, I, I, I didn't know, I guess people, I didn't know that people were still, I didn't know that that was the drug of choice. Oh yeah. Uh, that, um,
people were still doing crack. Yeah, I saw it just other days. I'm sure people are still doing all drugs, you know, but you know, crack man in the 80s and 90s, ooh, crack was, ooh, that was, crack was up there like heroin, that was a game changer, you know, in terms of what people, and then it showed this,
These relationships that we have because the dudes who smoke who sold crack didn't smoke crack, right? They was trying to eat, you know, what was that whole thing that they told Tony Montana when you start doing your own stash? That's when you know you in trouble Right never get on your own supply and it was like but to see the dudes out there now We dealers are different because we dealers usually smoke
Right. Yeah. They spoke. They spoke well because product ain't gonna kill you. Yeah. Call them to the program. Good morning. Hey, good morning. How are you doing? I'm doing well. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. I don't know if you can hear me. I'm in my truck, but you were talking about, um, crack, crack, okay. And this kind of a transparent moment. Um, my brother has committed suicide, but
He died when he was 21. He called my sister. She had got discharged out of the military. Okay. I think it was a dishonorable to be perfectly honest with you. And I don't know if it was the late 80s or early 90s. Do you know he called my sister because Craig had just hit he was living out in LA.
And he told, he called my sister, he told my sister, he said, it's this great stuff that's going around here, Carl Craig. And I'm loving it. Because I think they did not know the true effects, it was still new. Right. But just for him to say that, you know, he called my sister, he was like, man, we loving it out here. But you didn't know the long term effects. That's how I knew it was.
Right and I was watching this documentary on macho man macho-comacho Hector Camacho and he had he had gone through his whole battles with drugs He had been clean. He's training for a fight and then something happened and they were like dude. What up? He said I just like getting high too much because Keon pointed out to us that crack
Is more of a psychological addiction and what it meant by that is it's not physiological, right? Like if I'm if I'm on heroin Or or as a story calls it heroin if I'm on heroin I My body It's like nicotine. It's like caffeine, right your body and so when you stop
Your body goes through withdrawals. Your body doesn't go through withdrawals when you stop doing crack. It's your mind because your mind liked the feeling, right? And so your mind wants to be able to always talk about. You always trying to chase. They call it chasing the dragon. You want to go back to the first high, the first time you hit it. And so you're always trying to replicate that first high. But, um, yeah, man, it, it.
It may send you and we talked about it a lot. See I talk about drugs a lot of my program If you're a stoner you're listening to the right program right but um, no, I mean I I could see I Could see and people who man, I mean there's some people out there. They want to get high

I didn't know we had a black conductor. Oh yeah, he's been on. Michelle's interviewed him. I remember, yeah, Byron Stribbler. Yeah, he was amazing. He kind of embarrassed me because, you know, I always want to know who wrote the song.
He's like, man, I was like, oh, dude, sorry, I had a geek moment there. Like who wrote? Because the songwriter, I think, is the most important person because a good song can be performed by various people. That's how it went. It's a real good piece. So that's good. Thank you. The last time I was down there, I was down for Lettuce.

And let me shout out Red Fox. A lot of those people on the page, they were all black vaubild, a Chitlin circuit, and he hooked those folks up. That's dope. Right. And so they came back, but man,
That whole thing, the one when he was, it was, uh, Scatman, Crothers, Lamont, and Fred, they had the little duo, and Fred was playing, uh, the thing with the string on it. Oh, yeah. And then he walked, and the club owner, he's walking, he's walking, he loved his walk, right? Oh my God. Sanford and Sum was a classic. It was clever. And they wanted Emmy for writing, uh, Richard Pryor. Yeah.
Yeah, so it was good. You know, like a lot of things, it just gets older. And then they had the contract dispute with Red Fox and he was off for a while, then he came back.
