out of this.

She's getting a

real rise out

this.

Listen,

she was first.

She was first this morning.

She was.

She was in there by herself.

Yeah.

Let's see.

Lauren Taylor said my parents had everything taken care of my life insurance for my dad.

He was ex military.

Nurse Aaron Kawanda said, I did my brother's obituary.

It took me 11 hours to do so, but I did it because I knew what he wanted and how my brother should be represented.

Yeah.

And let's see.

Erin, it's him.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Nurse Aaron Kawanda also said, my sister is the power of attorney.

I'm the nurse and the baby brother who just passed was the financial support.

now we have to go black and have this conversation about

Who's up next?

Yep.

Those conversations have to be held.

Yeah,

they really do.

They really do.

My brother and my sister wrote.

The obituary.

You know what?

I know that I read the obituary for my dad and my two brothers.

And yeah.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did I know I did I know I read the obituary for two of my my two brothers that

passed

but my I Don't remember my dad.

It was all I know I didn't do nothing.

I was just there I could you know when my mom passed that was the first person in my immediate family to ever pass away and Yeah that

Was more devastating to me.

I think Because she was the first one and you know my mom You know that what you know, let me tell you

something.

I think one of the reasons it was so devastating Was because you know my Not just I love my mom and the whole deal and had a very close relationship with her and my dad, but you know, my father was always

Well, he was a quiet sort of man very strong very you know, and it was always for me You know, he always knew the right thing to do for me,

you

know And for my siblings and it was the same with my mom and I think that I Never that was the first time I ever heard my father cry and so for me that was

devastating within itself,

you

know, because I woke up the morning after my mother passed.

And I, I woke up, my father was in the kitchen with my two grandmothers, rest their souls who have now passed.

And he was crying.

And both my grandmother's praying women were in there praying with

him.

But I had never in my life I felt like something a mystique was gone so an innocence was taken away from me at that point because I realized you know He's he's a man too.

Yep.

Yep,

you know

absolutely

and Even though he tried to put on a brave face for all of us and all the things, you know, I realized then that you know

Yeah, heavy as the burden of being a father.

Yes

And but before we went to break and Anita Nicole.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

She's still been on carpool duty.

But she's in now.

I know I missed the hellos.

No, you didn't.

I got you.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

So there is where I was going with with my brother, like I say, as a matter of fact, the brother that I'm speaking of that I had to, you know,

paid for his funeral.

He's the one that's buried at Evergreen.

Um, his death anniversary will be coming up on September 27th.

So, uh, but you know, I, I did all of the things because we had, you know, talked about making sure, uh, sometimes people may do autopsy and you didn't request

an autopsy.

You know what I'm saying?

So it was like, I really went through when I tell y'all that I went through

The whole process the embalming process I was there because it was it was a pack that we had made and I followed through I followed through also Was there you know after that part and so just being in that lower level To witness and watch all that because it's like I'm watching my brother

even though

the pain was there.

But it's like, I just felt like I was doing my duty because

that's what we

talked about.

Yeah.

So even though, you know, because they're deceased, but, you know, it's like, oh, hey, what?

Don't do that.

You don't understand.

They're building

nothing.

Yeah.

But when you looking at it, you know what I'm saying?

It's

like, you know, like, oh, no, you're causing pain.

There

is no pain.

But and so but having to go through all that, I even help.

them, you know, put his clothes on and that's when I found out that they cut the suit or the

dress, you know,

and then they push it around.

That's how I know all of that.

You know, so I help them when they place them into his coffin,

the whole

nine.

So I've done all of the things.

So it made me, it definitely made me stronger in dealing with death

and

especially

of, you know, an immediate family member, you know what I'm saying?

So you're

talking about siblings.

So not that any of the other deaths were any easier on me mentally, but I was strong.

I was strong about it.

I'm like,

OK,

hold on.

OK, we got to do this.

We got to do that.

OK, we need to get ready.

OK, everybody that needs to come to, you know, see them before I end up calling.

The funeral home or you don't understand

where the

case may be to come pick him up.

Here's your chance.

Come on.

We only

got so much time to do this and do that.

So I was always the one that had the level head about what has to happen.

Okay.

Right.

We got to do this now.

Yeah.

Yes.

How many of us want to walk her down as they put her into the van?

You know what I'm

saying?

Right.

And

some people be tripping.

Why did they in a van?

You know, I mean, you know, they're going to a funeral home.

They're not.

always going to bring a hearse to take the body

even

just to the funeral

home.

Because the sad reality, hate to be the bearer of the truth, there's oftentimes more than your loved one's body that will be in that van.

They

go pick people up.

Whether it's

from the hospital or wherever it may be.

So yeah, and they need to be able to get more than just your loved one.

So if you don't

knowing, understanding that you're going to be upset.

Why y'all?

Where's the, you know,

yeah,

it's not

going to be for all that.

Yeah,

you know, law enforcement.

Now that's a different thing.

They're going to transport, you know, that in a different way.

But yeah.

So yeah, when doing all of that, it made me stronger.

It also made me a great person to talk to a lot of my friends, those who have family members or parents that may have been dealing with

terminal cancer and Knowing all the signs that are in the stage and when you hear the death rattle and all of those things so I was familiar and I helped I helped the late Ernie G now when his brother Ended up battling, you know cancer and He was like, you know homie.

He did this.

I said I kind of prepped him I said there's some people will have that even if they're in a comatose type state they all of a sudden

burst up with energy and be talking like, like they're not on home hospice and it may last anywhere from a few hours to sometimes it may last the whole day.

But then they go black into that state, you know what I'm saying?

And they usually end up, you know, in the life is usually there.

But yeah, having to deal with that, that's, that's what helps me be able to talk to a lot of people who are in those situations and telling them how important it is again to get.

grief counseling, uh, use that when those funeral homes end up, uh, hitting you up saying, Hey, we're checking on you.

If you ain't all right, let them know you're not all right.

They have grief counselors for just that

after care,

after care.

And some people don't take advantage of those.

Yeah.

That was probably the best thing that my father did for me.

Okay.

Um, because I was still pretty young when my mother passed and, uh, he got me into counseling and everything.

Um, but you do have to.

You know all my family members pass from some form of cancer Unfortunately, so it can be deep and seeing your family go through those changes

You

know I saw my mother lose her hair Which for black women is like your crown.

Yeah, right?

Yeah And that was back when they didn't have all the everybody with the way All of that wasn't talked about it was just you know

And, uh, yeah, so it can be devastating.

Yeah,

absolutely.

You

know, minister Kevin said, true story.

When my sister passed a few years ago, they brought the van to her house to get the body while they were inside the house.

Someone stole the van.

Wow.

It's Milwaukee.

What can we say?

Milwaukee

What do you have Why do you just say it's Milwaukee?

I mean It

doesn't just happen here in Milwaukee

frequently That's the kind of that's the kind of dumb criminals we have here What I'm telling you that am I lying stop me if I'm lying

got to get ready to take care of some

bills.

That's what I'm going to

do.

That's what I

thought.

Truth in the morning.

Let's see.

Abstract No.

414 said, did the van say corner on it, Bailey?

know, but evidently, if you look in the back, you probably might see if you don't see a person back there or a former person, then you probably got other stuff.

Yeah.

And, and, and

I think they're indicating.

Yeah.

I think people, it's, it's a difference.

Yeah.

In my opinion, when the coroner comes to get you,

opposed to a funeral home because you knew that your loved one.

uh, was on home hospice end of life care.

So yeah, the vans usually aren't going to say corner on it.

That's

usually me related.

When you see the vans that say corner,

right?

So, but, uh, outside of that, yeah, it's just a mini van.

Yeah.

You know, sometimes it may have the little swoop that you see on some hurts, right?

That, you know, signify, oh, this must be something else.

But other than that, it's just, uh,

Usually with no windows, of course.

But that that's primarily how that usually goes.

After ignore said, if it did, that's even lower for a person to do that part.

And after ignore 414 also say Homer, that's some Milwaukee sugar honey.

know he

was agreeing

with you.

We're going to Al M. K. E. Al M. K. E. Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Thanks for holding over.

You hear the conversation.

What's your truth?

My truth is whoever took that van, we wish he would have died in.

Okay.

No.

Number two, I had a relative.

She said, uh, I think her husband died in the house.

As she said, I came back and grabbed all high and tried to take her with him.

She never went back in that house after that.

You know, cause like sometimes a question for you, baby.

Oh, is it the good ones always got to go but this man so this man does this always spare these no good ratchet lowdown wasn't good for nothing that birth should have been swallowed after a jack or Lacey and they give him so much they spare them.

Why they keep these no good saps sucking bastards here to

give

him a chance.

Don't you

fuck.

Don't

you find that out to give him a chance to do right.

They ain't gonna do right.

The ones that

me and Al MK here talking about, they ain't gonna do right Bailey.

So I'm just

saying they didn't

have both strikes, they didn't have five strikes.

This one guy had already had homicides on him, then he murdered somebody else.

Come on.

So yeah,

so my thing is, so my thing is, why do they keep getting spirit?

Why ain't I waking up like Matt is bleeding through the mattress?

And then they always wait till they get in their 40s and 50s and say they got right with God.

Is that because God don't talk back?

Well, it's interesting.

He may not physically talk back to you, but he'll let you know.

He will sit

down.

So that means when and so that means when all the people who don't, well, that means well, well, they're going to be fighting like an MF or when they get to happen.

When you get ready to fight with a butcher knife, somebody did you wrong and they made it to happen.

You know what?

Listen, we don't see everything that people go through.

I was just sitting here, uh, looking at, looking at somebody going, you know what?

They're wrong and they know they're wrong and they still up in your face.

They know they're wrong and but you don't know, you know, you gotta go.

You know what?

Their struggle will continue.

It doesn't matter how much people come in support.

Their struggle will continue because they ain't right in what they do.

But you know what?

Bailey, uh, to me in my, in my point with this in my,

no, I understand what you're saying.

Cause some, some of them

never, some of them never, never, never, never, they don't even try.

Uh, they are given a lot of different opportunities to get it right.

and and some people are just still here that should be gone.

That's why I say Annihilation Island.

That is a that is a viable

option.

That's a viable

option.

You know, it won't, you know, they'll say it's too inhumane and all of that.

But I'm just saying, okay, we wouldn't have have these problems if they would let me get my Annihilation Island.

Because I

hope it

happens.

the tree of y'all tree of y'all cause Xavier in there agree.

Yeah, what was your what was that look please produce Xavier.

You seem to have something like a like what so can you please explain whatever that look was on your face and why you had it?

Oh, I just know that.

We're going to gladiator world again.

No, no, I just made a funny face at like the God comment stuff.

I just I think it's fake.

Well, at least the Christian God is fake.

I would never worship a God that was used to enslave my ancestors.

You know what?

You know,

I'm gonna let you and Bailey had this one.

I'm gonna turn my mic

off.

His ancestors were enslaved the first slaves.

I'm looking at Bailey.

Well,

where?

And then I'm looking at Xavier.

Xavier, your

turn.

Slavery has existed forever.

That's right.

Since the very beginning.

But I'm talking about the trans-aglantic slave trade.

That's a whole different kind of slavery that never existed across the world, only in

America.

Slaves have been around since the beginning of time.

This is a mute conversation.

No, the transatlantic state trade is completely different

slaves have been happening since the beginning of time since the time of Christ It was going on back then since the very beginning So I don't even want to have this discussion because it's mute if you don't believe in God That's you going to hell not me.

I'm trying to help you.

I'm trying to show you the right way But if you don't want to listen to me, that's all you at least, you know, you've been told there you go.

All right

Enough

okay in the session You're gonna learn today Let's see minister Kevin said all evilness looks for is an opportunity.

Let's see.

Here's the thing too.

That's true, but here's the thing too

you never know what people are going through people will have you'll be like oh they should be this and they should be that and they should go to jail and sure enough they may be in their own jail a jail in their own mind these people go people that don't do right go through things that we don't even see we'll see them and they're all smiling and happy and everything meanwhile their whole world is falling apart around them and we'll never know because they want to put a smile on

So we sit there and we all sit in judgment and think, but the reality is you don't know what's going on with them.

You know what I mean?

We can sit there and say they did that and that's wrong.

But how many times have you done something wrong?

Yeah,

I'm not gonna pass

and nobody that may steal the damn van that my mother's body is

That's one of them situations.

Be like, you got to help.

They catch you long before we catch you before I do.

Yeah, you'll probably be in another van.

And yours probably will say corner on the side.

I'm just saying, like the truth, the truth.

She was in the van.

He didn't say she was in the

van.

She was in the van, but right.

I remember I was

just saying that they

take no no no remember I said that oftentimes they may have more than one

body already in the van.

So there could

have been a body

in the van already.

wasn't that it was his sister

that

was in the van.

Right.

But yeah but they usually do pickups.

Yeah.

You

know

they got they got a schedule.

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

So it's like

okay Blam this

that person.

Yeah.

So that that's the the level that I was coming from.

Okay.

RCA, RC creation music.

These are permanent decisions slash judgments that will be made on finite lifestyle.

Yeah.

That's true.

Shout out to my girl, R. N. Kawanda.

You better preach baby.

That's it right there.

Our secret is also said just like suicide is not end all be all because we do not know what the person's state of mind was.

That's true.

But she put mine.

not mind.

That would be incorrect.

Okay, we gotta get ready to take care of some bills.

Just because I know how to read and I know English and I know other.

I'm just saying I get penalized.

I get told, why did you point that out?

Because it's incorrect.

And if I had to get a red mark when I had something correct, damn it, we go get red marks and we grown as hell.

Somebody gonna learn today.

We gotta be

Welcome black to truth in the morning.

I just can't wait till somebody, uh, you know, they have a sister or something like that and they call itself because they drive and they use a voice and they're not trying to be grammatically, uh, correct with something and they tell his sister they want to be like brother love.

They want to have some of her and then say.

There's my voice text.

I didn't proof read it.

Yeah.

So hashtag no excuses.

I'm allergic to ENC's excuses and complaints.

I'm just saying sometimes maybe if you know that it's going to do that you shouldn't voice text.

I'm just saying.

Get to where you're going and do what you're

doing.

Are you voice texting?

Right.

What in the chat though?

Can you do that in the chat?

I guess.

Oh, okay.

I guess.

I'm

just saying.

We can't talk about reading percentages and things to that nature and then has grown people because that's what they do.

You know what I mean?

No, I didn't sir.

No, I didn't young man.

No, I didn't young lady.

I didn't know.

I don't know what you meant because I would have got a red mark and that which is what we should do.

We should let them know like that.

That ain't cool.

So even if as an adult.

So yes, I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

Let me tell you

something as a child.

I can read.

My grandmother.

I'm proud of it.

My grandmother was a teacher.

And as a child, we would write her letters.

Did you get them graded?

She would do the little red ink on it.

And she would answer us.

You know, she sent it back, but she would correct it.

Yes, we

did.

It sent it back.

But the good part was it was always a piece of candy in there.

So we was like, OK.

We'll take that Yeah,

let's see

Locked in lovely great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you said the fact that my loved ones accepted Jesus Christ as their savior and that they are with their Lord encouraged me, but I still went to therapy and grief counseling.

Yeah, that helped

moving past their loss.

That's

where I'm

going.

Hello.

God created counselors, all the things.

So yeah, you should do that.

You know, go get counseling.

I had grief counseling too.

Yeah.

R.C.

Creation Muse said everything is based off of absolutes.

Morality, laws, physics, if everything is subjective, what does anything really matter?

It's like you have your morals, I have mine.

Might and deception makes right.

Okay.

But this is where I'm going.

Some people be like, you know, well let let them go like it's some men that wear some Unclothes and it's some women in my opinion

that wears

some clothes I'm like you got no real friends because they shouldn't have told you like yeah girl you killing them with that

Oh, no those aren't your friends,

right?

You know

and you know you you

know, you know, yeah Yes, you are kind of wrong and brothers that yeah, man.

I'm gonna kill them with this.

Yeah.

Yeah, you probably

It's

going

to look it's going to look like the traffic cone car.

Be like, oh,

kill them.

I'm just saying

you're going to create more reckless driving and you'll end up creating a solution for it.

But yeah, so I hope people really understand to just like with this funeral home.

That's why it's very, very important that you work closely with.

Uh, the people who will be in those situations, you don't say it to whereas they are handling your loved one.

Yeah.

You know, you cannot be, uh, undecided because you're on a time clock.

Yeah,

you really are.

And I was happy to hear, uh, where, uh, Farina Brooks had called in

while

Michelle Lucky pits was on.

tap in with Jazz Tyler.

And one of the things that I've been telling people for some years because I went to a meeting at a cemetery with funeral directors.

And this meeting was called on because and I ended up calling.

What is it?

What is the funeral home?

Graceland.

OK, so I ended up calling them because some youth.

Had went up there and they were driving cars all over people's headstones

And

you know doing donuts on the overgraves and things

that And so it was like I had a whole subject on that like okay, so what what are you?

Offering to do for those people whose loved ones graves have been desecrated.

You know, what what is the what is the situation?

So they said that they were reaching out to and they were also going to have a meeting with all of the funeral directors and Also, they invited me to come so

I went

and hearing the late Dr. Mr. Reed From Reed's Golden Gate funeral home, you know Arthur Reed and he was saying it and it was a bunch of other

black funeral directors as well as some other white funeral

home

directors as well.

And he talked about the GoFundMe and Farina brought it up like look some of these GoFundMe's funeral home don't be getting that money.

Arthur Reed said that

When there was a meeting about when a lot of the youth went up there and were hanging out of cars and just Disrespecting all of the graves.

I'm like,

how

do you are y'all gonna repair that?

You know what what did what did the families do?

Are they supposed to contact you?

So I went to that meeting but one of the things that Arthur Reed said and he said listen and that go fund me stuff He said the funeral homes.

We don't see none of that money.

Mmm.

All these people putting up these go fund me's he said we don't see that

And he said, I challenge anyone of y'all, stand up if you really receive in the money from the GoFundMe.

All of them were in agreeance like they don't get the money.

So I'm sure that there are some people that may actually do the right thing, but the majority of them that have those go fund means and it's supposed to go to the funeral home

for

burial expenses or cremation.

It doesn't.

It goes to whoever sets it up or whoever they designate to get it.

That's it.

And, you know, you got people just feeling empathy for him and let me go on and make a donation this and the other.

And I would say from the amount of funeral directors that stood up on that, at least 90% don't get the money.

They don't get the money.

Now they stuck with still trying to have to do these services.

So they were talking about different things that they were going to implement.

because of the youth coming up there because it was somebody else's funeral, right?

And but then they just start wilding out inside of the cemetery.

And so that's one of the things where they say, well, now if it's a homicide victim, that they will not allow, you know, you got to bury the person on another day.

And it can't be like where everybody is coming.

It's like limited.

who can come out there because.

the funeral processions in some of those cases are so disrespectful.

So just they hanging out the roof.

They you know, just it's yeah, it's crazy.

Wow.

It's crazy.

So they had to come up with some parameters to say, Well, now if you any of you funeral home, if y'all come in here and

it's a

homicide victim.

Yeah, yeah, y'all gonna have to

Due to burial on a different day

Wow,

or at a time where you know, you ain't got a whole long line of cars, you know following this procession

Wow,

it's crazy.

Yeah,

and I I've seen it I talked to a lot of funeral directors, so I know it to be true

Yeti finesse in the dead Aaron is him.

They absolutely are they absolutely are and here people really trying to donate because they want to try to help Because of the kind nature

right

you know and and they see the grieving parents or guardians or sisters and brothers and like oh wow that's tragic and so you know they donate but to know that in majority cases

funeral homes do not get any of that.

So now the funeral home is stuck.

We're still trying to do the service because now if you don't do it and you say, well, until y'all pay this or until y'all pay that, we not moving forward.

Now you viral social media stats.

Look what they did.

Well, you know saying yeah, my brother and they talk about the angle.

They just want money Go fund me page.

Oh, yeah, you know what I've been hearing a lot about Homer is

People that have loved ones that have passed away and the loved one did play in in advance and they made that person or another person The the person to take care of the business and that person ran off with the money or didn't put the money up or somehow the money ain't there and So that person is still sitting wherever that you know funeral home or wherever.

Mm-hmm, you know, that's a shame

Yeah,

it's a

shame.

It is.

And that's why, you know, it's important.

We got to handle our business, but the business will handle you.

And when it handles you the way that business works.

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

You may feel some kind of way about it, but it is what it is.

This is a business.

Yeah.

You know, you, you pain.

for a service.

Yeah.

And if you're not paying for the service, I'm

not

going to be able to properly do

what

I need to do.

Yeah.

And then but now you the problem.

Right.

Yeah.

It's it's something.

Listen, everybody that is your family, just understand that sometimes just how your paperwork together.

Yeah.

And and be prepared to run into some people that want to act like, uh, no, cause they said, no, no, no.

Yeah.

You wasn't sitting here during hospice.

No.

Uh, you couldn't take time off.

Uh, some people had to, uh, lose a job or step away from their job to take care of that loved one.

Yeah.

And, but at the time everybody.

Yeah.

I'm going to be there.

Uh, yeah.

Oh, okay.

Well, I got the morning's here.

Because you know, I work second year.

Okay, cool.

So you got that covered.

All right, then this person.

Okay, blam, blam, blam.

But then you find yourself being the only person and for a lot of people, it does make them bitter.

And I

understand.

I understand.

But I just learn with my immediate family and the different situations that happened that led to their deaths.

And majority, you know, we kind of knew, well, that

They were going to be passing away.

So it was either they got put on a home hospice situation or whatever.

But you listen, it's some family members that, yeah, I'm not straight with them after they didn't do what they were supposed to do.

I'm not straight with them.

I am not, I am not, I am not, I handle the business though.

I handle the business and I'll let whatever they got coming to them come to them.

But yeah, you, you, you can't.

uh, want to always be around and want to get, uh, take control of doing the obituary and, uh, you know, you want to do a party or, or the repass, which you not donating, you not cooking no food.

You ain't doing nothing.

You haven't helped secure the location, but yet you want to do all of these things and then not, not a hell you not.

Not a hell you not.

I'm telling you, uh, there were immediate family members of mine that faffled.

They faff old.

They faff

old.

They faff old.

Be like, hold on.

They messed around and found

out.

I'm maybe in a bunch.

The hell y'all grown ass.

Hold your brothers and sisters.

What y'all doing?

No, what we not

going

to do?

You not going to get and in the air and let's get the chandelier.

No, the hell we not.

Where your chandelier money at?

Where your

chandelier money at?

I got to tell you something.

I'm just saying.

I am blessed to know my family a perfect right mm-hmm far from it, but I'm blessed to have some of The greatest siblings that I could possibly have who they all every last one even the two that are gone Really took to heart what my parents told us

Y'all

got each other.

And that's it.

Y'all need to look out for each other and take care of each other.

And every time somebody in our immediate family passed, we closed ranks.

We look out for each other's kids, and their kids' kids.

That's what we do.

You know, and right now, that's how it should be.

That's how it should be.

Yeah.

And that's a blessing to learn, y'all.

And it's a blessing to be able to, you know, I mean, I'm the youngest.

And I, you know, I mean, my siblings have done things for me

that

I could never repay.

I could never, you know, but I, you know, I love them and I appreciate them.

They support me in my little radio situation.

You know, and all the things and I just, I, you know, I love them and they should know that and my cousins, my cousin's brother and

all that.

We all been, you know, because this is all you really got, right?

But sometimes your friends are closer than your own family.

Absolutely.

You know, in some situations, you better say it and put

this down in your book.

You know, but remember your family is your family when other people leave you when other people are gone

Those

are the people that are coming to get you when it's over with

when, when, when is that situation?

Cause they, yeah, that, that's what we are taught that it should be and how it's supposed to be.

But I'm telling you,

if we're going

to keep it real to

the next level and I'm blessed and that's a blessed situation

because I'm

going to tell you, it's a lot of other families out here and it's like, oh hell no.

Cause it's people that have been, listen, it's people that have been raped and incest and molested

these people

and the

other family members.

They said a damn thing and you up here.

Like I just,

had a criminal complaint where the girl told her mother and she was talking about a recent charge case and she was talking about, uh, it was, it was just as bad as that other, uh, criminal complaint where brother love was saying that, you know, they need to be

able to see it's

situations like that.

There are situations.

So to the families that

got it together.

Hoorah, I'm

happy for you.

Or people that, you know, not all families have it together, no.

And some of them is halfway together.

They don't matter.

But at the end of the day, what should be happening.

That's what should be.

Yep.

That's that's a key thing.

It should be but again, it's not and for a lot of people.

Yes, there's a lot of anger.

There's a lot of frustration and some people on the outside looking in they ain't seen how many times that they have been done so wrong and all they tried to do was help.

All they tried to do was be a great brother or a great sister or a great cousin or whatever the case may be and how many times they've been defecated on by the people.

You don't gave them leads to jobs.

And the person is, you know, you got a, a, a inroads where it's like, you know what?

You going to get the circumvent some stuff because you saying you really ready to get it together.

And sometimes you can just keep getting defecated on to where it's like, you know what?

I'm not doing this no more.

I am not a sewage district worker that has to go down there knowing that there's going to be gases and all this kind of stuff that you got to deal with.

There's going to be some putrid smells and all of that that you got to deal with.

So.

I'm, I'm just speaking on behalf of those who know that they have some immediate family members.

It's just like when we talk about, uh, you know, I've gave my viewpoint several times when we talk about, you know, the father, she would be in the home where the daddy at the daddy ain't doing it.

But if the daddy been kicking the mama's ass, if the daddy been, uh,

molesting

the boy or molesting the girl.

That is a reality and a point of view for a lot of people.

Yeah, and that's what that's why I say for them.

I didn't say that.

I never say everybody.

Not everybody.

Yeah, but it's unfortunately more than it should be.

And that's where we are able to say dysfunctional families.

There's a lot of dysfunctional families and it's not

that everybody didn't want to try to help or work with a person.

But until these people are ready to help themselves, you know, you can give them all the resources.

You can pay for them to go to a treatment center.

You can, if they not ready to get all drugs, if they not ready to fight that alcoholism, then unfortunately you're going to waste a lot of money.

And you're going to waste a lot of time.

But what you should learn from the lesson if you are wasting that time is like, you know what?

I can feel good about myself that I did the best that I can do that.

My mother always instilled that.

So now.

Do I want to see them in that situation?

No.

But if that's the choice that they keep making, even though we've given them homes or, you know, gave them shelters so they're not, what is it?

New word, unhoused, you know what

I'm saying?

But I'm just saying, so you've done that.

They end up coming in, violating your home.

They end up coming up, doing things with your husband or your wife or your woman or your man or the.

Talking to your kids any kind of damn way and this that any other and some of those things is like, uh-uh, uh-uh, what we not gonna do I'm trying to help you out because you are my sister you are my brother You are my cousin or whoever it might be but what we not gonna do we ain't doing that

well I do feel bad for those that

that have been in those situations.

However, also realize that there's a lot of people that weren't in those situations.

Yes, and that's why I say blessings to them, blessings to them.

But I'm telling you, I've seen it on every level.

I've seen it on every level.

So to those that have it, like I say, appreciate the blessing that you have because that's how it is supposed to be.

Anita Nicole said, my kids already know my wishes and those not on board, gonna

learn

that

day.

I'm just saying, uh, like the lovely said, I stopped giving to the funeral GoFundMe accounts.

I've known families to take the GoFundMe money and then skip in town and letting the deceased get buried public.

That's what I'm talking about.

Oh, I don't see them in Bahamas in every place.

Wow.

Like what?

Yeah.

And then get mad.

If you say this, what you took, you can't tell me how to spend the money.

But we weren't able to get to it on yesterday.

It's out of Detroit, Michigan.

Right.

Mm hmm.

And from Fox two News Detroit, the headline of the story is Where's my mama?

Oh,

We are.

Okay.

I'm just reading the headline.

All right.

Where's my mama Detroit family says their mother was cremated by mistake at a funeral home So now you're right.

we're going to Watch this clip if you are with us on YouTube or Facebook live.

Yeah.

Yeah, probably when it went down.

You can't get that over.

So Xavier

You had that clip ready yet?

All right, we're going to play this clip.

All right.

This is a bizarre story unfolding on the city's east side.

A family says that they went to view their mother only to find out that she was cremated by mistake, but it gets worse.

Welcome to Fox two news at Adam Charlie Langton.

I had the family of the feudal home.

They tried to pass off the body of someone else as their mother.

police are investigating.

Fox News Dave Kinchin now spoke with that family and is here live with more Dave.

Charlie, we've covered a lot of pretty wild stories, but this one is definitely up there.

So here's what we know right now.

This story, this situation got so intense.

Detroit police were called in for extra security just to make sure that things didn't get out of hand.

Let's go to video.

Here's what we're talking about right now.

This was the scene at Hutchinson Funeral Home on East 7 Mile in Detroit.

You can see police blocking the door of the building to Hutchinson Funeral.

Now we saw more cops showing up as more and more family got word of the tense situation with the funeral set for tomorrow.

Now the children of 61 year old Kimberly Moore say they arrived for the viewing of their mother only to be shown the body of another woman, not their mother.

That's what they say.

The family says they were told their mom.

that her body was cremated instead.

The Moore family is pressing for answers, and they're also trying to reach the family of the other body that they were shown.

Hutchinson Funeral Home told us no comment at first.

In fact, when we called them, they said they were locking the doors, but then they got a PR for him involved.

We get here.

There's not my mom in the casket.

This woman got on my mama's dress.

We everything is not my mother's in there in there.

They didn't put the body up so we came earlier.

They try to show us another lady.

They open the cast is not heard.

I said, where is my mama?

So where is my mama?

Not he

said.

Oh, it's upstairs.

She upstairs.

You just taught and they're not my cousin said Bianca.

They just told us we didn't have her.

Now she here.

Where is my mama?

So we just saw you come to the door, please.

There's a lot of people with questions here.

We know that there was an issue.

We know there's a problem and we want to make it whole.

We want to make the family feel comfortable with their loved one and make sure that we have some conclusion with this.

Has Hutchinson indicated anything about another family involved in this situation?

I don't know about that.

Yeah, but as soon as I have more information, I'll be more than happy to talk to you.

We tried several times to reach out to the management of the funeral home.

They would not talk with us on camera, just sending us a statement.

Then there's spokesperson coming out to the scene and echoing that statement, saying that they will somehow make the family whole and all this.

You have to wonder how in the world they could possibly do that, especially with that funeral set for tomorrow and everything we just described in this case.

As we said, this is all under investigation at this.

time.

So still a lot of questions.

Unfortunately, not a lot of answers at this moment, but we're going to stay on top of this one.

No doubt about it.

Reporting live in Detroit.

And yeah, I know that

and they sound so disorganized

law enforcement probably would have had to take me.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Because

yeah, because you heard her say in the beginning they said we don't have her.

Right.

What do you mean you don't have her?

We sent her here.

You know.

This just reminds you of the different things that we've seen at some of these funeral homes.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know, you know, it is definitely crazy.

Again, 833-212-1017.

Listen, this is, there is no repairing.

I mean,

even if they

sue or whatever the case may be.

Yeah, you know, financially, you know, you end up getting some money, but

That that your memory the whole everything is just marred.

Yeah from there on

out You don't know if the ashes because

it will really be

will really be her

That

you know, I mean No, you can't get that back.

No amount of money No amount of money See, I'm gonna tell you

Sometimes people go to different places because they know what they're gonna get and

they can

depend on it's like if you're traveling

right

and You see all these restaurants, but you see a McDonald's and you hungry What do you do you nine times out of ten you go into that McDonald's?

You know why you go into McDonald's because you know,

yep,

it didn't fries gonna be them fries and That burger gonna be that burger

baby on the area

Say say we're great depending on the area

appreciate

But

you understand

yeah the premise right yeah,

you understand that is what it should be right?

Yeah,

so when you you have to do the same thing with everything else

Yeah, right

everything else there's a standard

bet

that is set and so especially when it comes to

dealing with, you know, your family member that may have been depart, may have departed you.

You want to make sure that you send in them somewhere where you know, because we've seen these stories before.

Yeah.

Right.

I was here in Milwaukee and Michael will get to you in just a moment.

Uh, the truth call in line eight, three, three, two, one, two, 10, 17.

But we, I was there at what.

used to be called Evergreen Cemetery.

And shout out to and salute to Commander Michael McGee, senior, when a family ended up saying that they didn't have the body.

You know what

I'm

saying?

There was a burial.

They didn't know where their son or daughter was, you know, the deceased person.

So they ended up digging up, exhuming.

a casket and it came to find out that it was like three caskets on top of each other.

Wow.

Yeah.

And it wasn't like it was a family plot.

Right.

So it's called Glen Oaks now.

It's not called Evergreen after that fiasco.

Right.

But I was there.

Is that the one

on Silver Spring?

No, that's on Green Bay.

You know, you hit it up towards Hampton.

OK.

So but I was there.

Because we were the ones you know covering it at WN OB and brought it to a lot more people's attention And so to be there to see that it was it was a crazy sight to see because

yeah,

I'm glad that they were showing it on the news But they had a sheet up right you saw them pulling up, you know, yeah the coffin or whatnot.

Yeah

Well, I'll talk more.

I want to go ahead and get Michael Michael great morning.

Love you appreciate you.

You hear the conversation about this

that I don't know how you can correct that.

But what's your truth, Michael?

I just want to say that I think the people should get justice for what they've done to their loved one.

Yeah.

And I've never been through a situation like that because I know when my mother died, she was cremated automatically.

But I've never been through a situation like that.

But I would never want to be through a situation like that.

So we need to pray for

them.

and we need to hold them up in prayer every single day until they can get justice from the funeral and why they did what they did.

Yeah.

And I love you and I appreciate you too, Bailey.

You're doing a good job over there.

Keep it up, Bailey.

Keep it up.

Thank

you.

All

right.

All right.

You're welcome.

Have a great day.

Let's see.

Nurse Aaron Kawanda said, so heartbreaking when I seen this on the news and I'm sure that funeral home will be closed soon.

R.C.

Creation Muse said, wow, now that's where the problem comes in.

How are you going to dress a stranger up as somebody else's mama?

Yeah.

Just be honest.

The damage is done.

Yeah.

There's Aaron Kawanda said, how to make a family whole after some BS like that?

Yeah.

Since you're Ronnie Ray Reels said, how are you going to borrow people's clothes like that?

They should be ashamed of

themselves.

That

part.

Lauren Taylor said, my sister had my mom cremated against her lifelong witches.

Uh, we haven't talked in 10 years.

Wow.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, again, I, I, I get it.

And, and this is why, again, you, you, you got to put legal situations into place.

That's why I say handle your business because if you don't, you know, because there's legal ramifications that will make them have to halt whatever it is that the other person is trying to do.

Until this goes through court or the

legal

system, right?

And and that's what I'm all we got to get ready take care of some bills We got more comments on this and of course the truth call in line eight three three two one two ten seventeen What's your truth?

Is there any justice that can be served in this situation?

And if so, what is it, you know, we'll be black

Welcome black truth in the morning.

The

legendary

home up low along with my girl Bailey

Coleman.

Yeah, you know, there is no hand.

Listen,

there's no I would make it.

Yeah, I would make a decision.

Like I say, law enforcement would probably absolutely have to take me down because yeah, and I would make peace with myself with the decision that I was going to make.

Cuz yeah, cuz I'm not at peace now.

I'm not at peace.

I'm not gonna be able to be at peace.

Mm-hmm And now you telling me we don't know where the body is You cremated You put the clothes and wig on another family's deceased mother or grandmother or sister you gonna say auntie and Then say here she is

Like yeah, like it that should be so many kind of violations that gets them shut down permanently And they should have their license revoked to where they can't even try to open up another one

Yeah, no cuz you know what first of all I hope they have insurance.

Mm-hmm cuz we go in the court Mm-hmm.

We go in the court.

I don't want to own your business

Right

you finna pay mm-hmm because there is no other there's no other way

I mean, that ain't going to bring her back.

That's right.

That's not going to make better what you did, but you're going to pay for some DNA testing.

So we find out whether or not that's my mama or not.

And then you're going to pay me because you done you you flipped that you done messed up.

You messed up.

That was probably the worst mistake in the world.

Anybody could ever make or one of them, at least.

Yeah, you know.

You know,

you're gonna have my mama clothes on somebody else.

It's enough.

We don't like to wear each other's clothes now.

How you gonna put?

How you putting my?

Now for my family, the majority of my immediate family that are deceased, mother and father, sisters, brothers, all except one of them.

Again, pretty much I had to take care of all of this, but so they had wishes to be cremated.

Some wanted to have a viewing and then be cremated.

So, you know, but I took care of those expenses and I'm the little brother and I always just, I always just, yeah, it made me feel some kind of weight.

I'm like, how am I the, you know

what

I'm saying?

the

baby.

I mean, I got a half

and

sometimes you got to

handle your damn business.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

We were gonna handle a business.

Yeah.

And, you know, of course.

So with that, uh, for several of them, I witnessed the cremation.

Yeah.

Uh, so, uh, and, you know, more funeral homes now are getting crematoriums

where,

you know,

they

do a bit.

uh, the go to place initially for some of my immediate family member, uh, as far as the cremation was the hell yeah.

The one that's the cemetery is for sale.

That's right off silver spring

on 91st.

That was talking about earlier.

Yeah.

So, uh, but I, I went in there and was, you know, able to help roll their bodies into, uh, the oven and.

You know, it's crazy when it when it's done.

Yeah, you know because there's colors that let you know like when you're looking at the smokestack The different colors.

This is the cardboard burning.

This is this this the wood.

This is the actual remains and so, you know, unfortunately got to become very familiar and common with that process but the part that that Gets me and if anybody has ever witnessed

a cremation of a loved one, that they have to grind the bones and parts of the skull.

That I'm like, you know, even though I know they hate to see, I'm like, you hurt my mama.

You're gonna

say like,

I was, I was, I'm not gonna lie.

I was feeling some kind of way.

And then the C, you know what I'm saying?

Because they got to try

pulverize it down and all of that kind of stuff.

So it's, it's, you know, everybody ain't gonna be able to do it.

But I told my, you know, immediate family and that, you know, I would do it, you know, because they wanted me to make decisions and things of that nature.

Right.

I did it.

But yeah, it's, it's, it's an experience that everybody shouldn't try to handle.

You know

what I'm

saying?

You know, especially if you don't think that you really can,

but

if you are strong enough to do it.

Yeah, I had to see it through.

But I just didn't realize what that process looks like.

And then if you don't get a earn, they just really put it in a box and put like a dog tag on it with your name.

It's like,

here's the bag.

You feel what I'm saying?

Yeah.

That was crazy.

Yeah.

But yeah, I would have some issues.

You know what?

And this is a good time to encourage everybody.

Get your your things in order.

Yeah.

You know, I personally along with different family members have purchased the you know little piece of land

You

know and with my family My mom and dad are buried both of them are buried out in this lovely place out in Bellevue, Washington And you know it just goes to show you you know, I mean our family went in together on this plot of land

Right.

And so we decided, you know, who will be who where and this and that in case you didn't get married or whatever.

And how it's going to, you know, split up.

So I mean, you just, you know, you got to be prepared.

Yes.

Absolutely.

And, you know, and, and you could pay for all your stuff in advance.

You pay for it all in advance.

And

you have

insurance was talking

about

when she was on taping

with

Jazz Tyler.

Absolutely.

That's something that you need to

do.

You need to do because there's a lot of people that are now, you know, stuck in different places because they didn't take care of it in advance or they did and didn't have somebody they could trust.

Right.

You know, you could go right to, you know, I would go to a reputable funeral spot if you're going to pay in advance so that you know that your situation is taken care of.

Okay.

You know, you understand what I'm saying?

Not some overnight place.

You know, if it takes you cost you a little bit more money, then it just does.

But you go to some place where you know your situation is taking care of him.

You know, sitting in somebody's morgue

somebody's funeral home waiting to be buried because somebody ran off with the money or something.

You know what I mean?

I hear a lot of that.

Right.

So you gotta.

You know, prepare in advance.

There's nothing like preparing in advance, even though we don't want to think about it.

think about that?

Yeah.

But

yeah.

But

you

know what?

It's a part of life.

It is.

You're born to die.

And you know what?

And I am uh of my parents prepared.

Mm hmm.

You know um and they both uh passed away pretty young.

You know and so but they prepared in advance for that.

Right.

And um

You know people have to do that.

They didn't want to leave some big burden on us

figure it all out

They hadn't laid

out just like my aunt that just passed here recently She had all of her everything laid out all my cousins need to do was walk in and execute.

That's it You know take care of the business that part and that's that's what should be happening.

Yeah, because you don't want to Be sitting out here

and then you don't want to leave a burden on other people.

Do your obituary and have it done to what you want.

Yeah, do

your obituary.

Listen, one of the hardest things is sitting black trying to do those obituaries.

Some people, you know, you haven't been a part of that process where you had to do that.

That's, that's

crazy situation.

people get mad because a child was left out or what about me and and then you got people that's getting mad from the family because they talk about a special friend like that that's a family that

I'm just saying stop baby stop baby stop stop stop stop stop stop stop uh yeah but

uh special friend

But you left his sister out the obituary.

I'm just saying people do that.

I know.

But

damn.

Yeah.

So, um, yeah, that that part, uh, Christina.

Uh, was it Christina Santiago?

Uh, great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you say you got to be strong because closing the casket.

Yeah,

my grandma was hard enough.

I don't

think I could witness the cremation.

Yeah.

Um,

listen, I went through, you know, uh, my brother that is buried at Evergreen.

Um, uh, we had made a pact, although he was older than me, you know,

Don't know how all families are but I know in a lot of families and I know I can detest to it for my family

got that sibling one sibling if you had because it was nine of us.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, I got us beat by Well, actually you got us beat by two because I do have there's a seven but anyway

Okay,

you know

You are listening to truth in the morning on 101 7 the truth the truth app and streaming live on 101 7 the truth on

YouTube

out of this.

She's

getting a real rise out of this.

Listen,

she was first.

She was first this morning.

She was.

She

was

in there by herself.

Yeah.

Let's see.

Lauren Taylor said my parents had everything taken care of my life insurance for my dad.

He was ex military.

Nurse Aaron Kawanda said, I did my brother's obituary.

It took me 11 hours to do so, but I did it because I knew what he wanted and how my brother should be represented.

Yeah.

And let's see.

Erin, it's him.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Nurse Aaron Kawanda also said, my sister is the power of attorney.

I'm the nurse and the baby brother who just passed was the financial support.

So now we have to go black and have this conversation about

Who's up next?

Yep.

Those conversations have to be held.

Yeah,

they really do.

They really do.

My brother and my sister wrote.

The obituary.

You know what?

I know that I read the obituary for my dad and my two brothers.

And yeah.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did I know I did I know I read the obituary for two of my my two brothers that

passed

but my I Don't remember my dad.

It was all I know I didn't do nothing.

I was just there I could you know when my mom passed that was the first person in my immediate family to ever pass away and Yeah that

Was more devastating to me.

I think Because she was the first one and you know my mom You know that what you know, let me tell you something.

Well, he was a quiet sort of man very strong very you know, and it was always for me You know, he always knew the right thing to do for me, you know And for my siblings and it was the same with my mom and I think that I Never that was the first time I ever heard my father cry and so for me that was

devastating within itself, you know, because I woke up the morning after my mother passed.

And I, I woke up, my father was in the kitchen with my two grandmothers, rest their souls who have now passed.

And he was crying.

And both my grandmother's praying women were in there praying with

him.

But I had never in my life I felt like something a mystique was gone so an innocence was taken away from me at that point because I realized you know He's he's a man too.

Yep.

Yep, you know absolutely

and Even though he tried to put on a brave face for all of us and all the things, you know, I realized then that you know

Yeah, heavy as the burden of being a father.

Yes

And but before we went to break and Anita Nicole.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

She's still been on carpool duty.

But she's in now.

I know I missed the hellos.

No, you didn't.

I got you.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

So there is where I was going with with my brother, like I say, as a matter of fact, the brother that I'm speaking of that I had to, you know,

paid for his funeral.

He's the one that's buried at Evergreen.

Um, his death anniversary will be coming up on September 27th.

So, uh, but you know, I, I did all of the things because we had, you know, talked about making sure, uh, sometimes people may do autopsy and you didn't request an autopsy.

You know what I'm saying?

So it was like, I really went through when I tell y'all that I went through.

even though

the pain was there.

But it's like, I just felt like I was doing my duty because that's what we talked about.

Yeah.

So even though, you know, because they're deceased, but you know, it's like, oh, hey, what?

Don't do that.

You don't understand.

They're building

nothing.

Yeah.

But when you looking at it, you know what I'm saying?

It's like, you know, like, oh, no, you're causing pain.

There is no pain.

But yeah.

And so but having to go through all that, I even help.

them, you know, put his clothes on and that's when I found out that they cut the suit or the dress, you know, and then they push it around.

That's how I know all of that.

You know, so I help them when they place them into his coffin, the whole nine.

So I've done all of the things.

So it made me, it definitely made me stronger in dealing with death and especially

of, you know, an immediate family member, you know what I'm saying?

So you're talking about siblings.

So not that any of the other deaths were any easier on me mentally, but I was strong.

I was strong about it.

I'm like, OK, hold on.

OK, we got to do this.

We got to do that.

OK, we need to get ready.

OK, everybody that needs to come to, you know, see them before I end up calling.

The funeral home or you don't understand

where the

case may be to come pick him up.

Here's your chance.

Come on.

We only

got so much time to do this and do that.

So I was always the one that had the level head about what has to happen.

Okay.

Right.

We got to do this now.

Yeah.

Yes.

How many of us want to walk her down as they put her into the van?

You know what I'm saying?

Right.

And some people be tripping.

Why did they in a van?

You know, I mean, you know, they're going to a funeral home.

They're not.

always going to bring a hearse to take the body even just to the funeral

home.

Because the sad reality, hate to be the bearer of the truth, there's oftentimes more than your loved one's body that will be in that van.

They go pick people up, whether it's from the hospital or wherever it may be.

So yeah, and they need to be able to get more than just your loved one.

So if you don't

knowing, understanding that you're going to be upset.

Why y'all?

Where's the, you know,

yeah,

it's not going to be for all that.

Yeah, you know, law enforcement.

Now that's a different thing.

They're going to transport, you know, that in a different way.

But yeah.

So yeah, when doing all of that, it made me stronger.

It also made me a great person to talk to a lot of my friends, those who have family members or parents that may have been dealing with

He did this.

I said I kind of prepped him I said there's some people will have that even if they're in a comatose type state they all of a sudden

burst up with energy and be talking like, like they're not on home hospice and it may last anywhere from a few hours to sometimes it may last the whole day.

But then they go black into that state, you know what I'm saying?

And they usually end up, you know, in the life is usually there.

But yeah, having to deal with that, that's, that's what helps me be able to talk to a lot of people who are in those situations and telling them how important it is again to get.

grief counseling, uh, use that when those funeral homes end up, uh, hitting you up saying, Hey, we're checking on you.

If you ain't all right, let them know you're not all right.

They have grief counselors for just that after care, after care.

And some people don't take advantage of those.

Yeah.

That was probably the best thing that my father did for me.

Okay.

Um, because I was still pretty young when my mother passed and, uh, he got me into counseling and everything.

Um, but you do have to.

You know all my family members pass from some form of cancer Unfortunately, so it can be deep and seeing your family go through those changes You know I saw my mother lose her hair Which for black women is like your crown.

Yeah, right?

Yeah And that was back when they didn't have all the everybody with the way All of that wasn't talked about it was just you know

And, uh, yeah, so it can be devastating.

Yeah, absolutely.

You know, minister Kevin said, true story.

When my sister passed a few years ago, they brought the van to her house to get the body while they were inside the house.

Someone stole the van.

Wow.

It's Milwaukee.

What can we say?

Milwaukee

What do you have Why do you just say it's Milwaukee?

I mean It doesn't just happen here in Milwaukee

frequently That's the kind of that's the kind of dumb criminals we have here What I'm telling you that am I lying stop me if I'm lying

got to get ready to take care of some bills.

That's what I'm going to do.

Truth in the morning.

Let's see.

Abstract No.

414 said, did the van say corner on it, Bailey?

know, but evidently, if you look in the back, you probably might see if you don't see a person back there or a former person, then you probably got other stuff.

Yeah.

And I

think they're indicating.

Yeah, I think people it's a difference.

In my opinion, when the coroner comes to get you

opposed to a funeral home because you knew that your loved one.

uh, was on home hospice end of life care.

So yeah, the vans usually aren't going to say corner on it.

That's

usually me related.

When you see the vans that say corner,

right?

So, but, uh, outside of that, yeah, it's just a mini van.

Yeah.

You know, sometimes it may have the little swoop that you see on some hurts, right?

That, you know, signify, oh, this must be something else.

But other than that, it's just, uh,

Usually with no windows, of course, uh, but that that's primarily how that usually goes.

Uh, abstract nor said if it did, that's even lower for a person to do.

Uh, that part and abstract nor 414 also stay a Homer.

That's some Milwaukee sugar honey.

know

he was

agreeing

with you.

Uh, we're going to out MKE out MKE.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Thanks for holding over.

You hear the conversation.

What's your truth?

My truth is whoever took that van, we wish he would have died in.

Okay.

No.

Number two, I had a relative.

She said, uh, I think her husband died in the house.

As she said, I came back and grabbed her high and tried to take her with him.

She never went back in that house after that.

Wow.

You know, cause like sometimes I have a question for you.

Is it the good ones always gotta go but this man so this man that's there's always spare these no good ratchet lowdown Wasn't good for nothing that birth should have been swallowed after a jack or Lacey and they give him so much They spare them why they keep these no good saps sucking bastards here

Don't

you

fuck don't you find that out to give me a chance to do

right?

Ain't gonna do right

and the ones that

me out MK here talking about they ain't gonna do right Bailey So I'm just saying

they didn't

have both strikes.

They didn't have five strikes Yeah, this one guy had already had homicides on him.

Then he murdered somebody else come on

So yeah,

so my thing is, so my thing is, why do they keep getting spirit?

Why they not waking up like Mac is bleeding through the mattress?

And then they always wait till they get in their 40s and 50s and say they got right with God.

Is that because God don't talk back?

Well, it's interesting.

He may not physically talk back to you, but he'll let you know.

He will see so that

means when it's so that means when all the people who don't wear that means well what they're gonna be fighting like a mf or when they get to happen

when you be ready to fight with a

butcher knife somebody did you longer they

made it to

happen

you know what listen we don't see everything that people go through I was just sitting here looking at looking at somebody going you know what they're wrong and they know they're wrong and they still up in your face

They know they're wrong.

And but you don't know, you know, you gotta go.

You know what?

Their struggle will continue.

It doesn't matter how much people come in support.

Their struggle will continue because they ain't right in what they do.

But you know what?

Bailey, uh, to

me,

in my point with this in my,

no, I understand what you're saying.

Cause some of them

never, some of them never, never, never, never, they don't even try.

Uh, they are given a lot of different opportunities to get it right.

and some people are just still here that should be gone.

That's why I say Annihilation Island.

That is a, that is a survival

option.

That's a viable

option.

You know, it won't, you know, they'll say it's too inhumane and all of that, but I'm just saying, okay, we wouldn't have had these problems if they would let me get my Annihilation Island.

Oh my gosh.

Well, I hope it happens.

Oh my gosh.

the tree of y'all tree of y'all cuz Xavier

what was your what was that look please produce Xavier you seem to have something like a like what so can you please explain whatever that look was on your face and why you had it

oh I just know that

We're going to gladiator world again.

No, no, I just made a funny face at like the God comment stuff.

I just I think it's fake Well, at least the Christian God is fake.

I would never worship a God that was used to enslave my ancestors,

you know what?

I'm

gonna let you and Bailey had this one.

I'm gonna turn my mic

on.

His ancestors were enslaved.

The first slaves.

I'm looking at Bailey.

And then I'm looking at Xavier Xavier, your turn

slaves slavery has existed forever.

That's right.

But I'm talking about the trans Atlantic slave trade.

That's a whole different kind of slavery that you know, never existed across the world.

Slaves

have slaves have been slaves have been around since the beginning of time.

This is a mute conversation.

No, the transatlantic trade is completely different.

Slaves have been happening since the beginning of time, since the time of Christ.

It was going on back then, since the very beginning.

So I don't even want to have this discussion because it's mute.

If you don't believe in God, that's you going to hell, not me.

I'm trying to help you.

I'm trying to show you the right way.

But if you don't want to listen to me, that's not you.

At least you know you've been told.

There you go.

All

right, enough.

Okay, in the session.

You're gonna learn today.

Let's see minister Kevin said all evilness looks for is an opportunity.

Let's see.

Here's the thing too.

That's true, but here's the thing too.

So we sit there and we all sit in judgment and think, you know, but the reality is you don't know what's going on with them.

You know what I mean?

We can sit there and say they did that and that's wrong.

But how many times have you done something wrong?

Yeah,

I'm not gonna pass

and nobody that may steal the damn van that my mother's body is

That's one of them situations.

Be like, you got to help.

They catch you long before we catch you before I do.

Yeah, you'll probably be in another van.

And yours probably will say corner on the side.

I'm just saying like the truth.

The truth.

She was in the van.

He didn't say she was in the van.

She was in the van, but right.

Remember, I was

just saying that they

take.

No, no, no.

Remember, I said that oftentimes they may have more than one

body already in the van.

So there could

have been a body

in the van already.

wasn't that it was his sister

that

was in the van.

Right.

But yeah, but they usually do pickups.

Yeah.

You

know, they got they got a schedule.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

So it's like,

okay, Blam.

This

that person.

Yeah.

So that that's the the level that I was coming from.

Okay.

RCA, RC Creation Muse said these are permanent decisions slash judgments that will be made on finite lifestyle.

Yeah.

That's true.

Shout out to my girl, Ari and Kawanda.

You better preach Bailey.

That's it right there.

Creation

Muse also said just like suicide is not end all be all because we do not know what the person's state of mind was.

That's true.

But she put mine.

not mind.

That would be incorrect.

Okay, we gotta get ready to take care of some bills.

Just because I know how to read and I know English and I know I'm just saying I get penalized.

I get told.

Why did you point that out?

Like because it's incorrect.

And if I had to get a red mark when I had something correct, damn it.

We go get red marks and we grown as hell with

the

promise with degrees

and

still

doing

that.

Somebody gonna learn today.

We gotta be

ready to take care of some bills.

And we'll be black.

Welcome black to truth in the morning.

I just can't wait till somebody you know they have a sister or something like that and they call itself because they drive and they use a voice and they're not trying to be grammatically correct with something and they tell his sister they want to be like brother love they want to have some of her and then say

There's my voice text.

I didn't proof read it.

Yeah.

So hashtag no excuses.

I'm allergic to ENC's excuses and complaints.

I'm just saying sometimes maybe if you know that it's going to do that you shouldn't voice text.

I'm just saying

get to where you're going and do what you're

doing.

Are you voice texting?

Right,

right.

What in the chat though?

Can you do that in the chat?

I guess.

Oh, okay.

I guess.

I'm

just saying.

We can't talk about reading percentages and things to that nature and then has grown people because that's what they do.

You know what I mean?

No, I didn't sir.

No, I didn't young man.

No, I didn't young lady.

I didn't know.

I don't know what you meant because I would have got a red mark and that which is what we should do.

We should let them know like that.

That ain't cool.

So even if as an adult.

So yes, I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

Let me tell

you something as a child.

I can read.

My grandmother.

I'm proud of it.

My grandmother was a teacher.

And as a child, we would write her letters.

Did you get them graded?

She would do the little red ink on it.

And she would answer us.

You know, she sent it back, but she would correct it.

Yes.

And sent it back.

But the good part was it was always a piece of candy in there.

So we was like, OK.

We'll take that Yeah,

let's see

Locked in lovely great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you said the fact that my loved ones accepted Jesus Christ as their savior and that they are with their Lord encouraged me, but I still went to therapy and grief counseling.

Yeah, that helped

moving past their loss.

That's

where I'm

going.

Hello.

God created counselors, all the things.

So yeah, you should do that.

You know, go get counseling.

I had grief counseling too.

Yeah.

R.C.

Creation Muse said everything is based off of absolutes, morality, laws, physics.

If everything is subjective, what does anything really matter?

It's like you have your morals, I have mine.

Might and deception makes right.

Okay.

But this is where I'm going.

Some people be like, you know, well let let them go like it's some men that wear some Unclothes and it's some women in my opinion

that

wears some clothes I'm like you got no real friends because they shouldn't have told you like yeah girl you killing them with that

Oh, no those aren't

your

friends, right?

You know, you know,

you know, yeah Yes, you are kind of wrong and brothers that you know, man, I'm gonna kill them with this.

Yeah.

Yeah, you probably

It's

going

to look it's going to look like the traffic cone car.

Be like, oh,

kill them.

I'm just saying

you're going to create more reckless driving.

You'll end up creating a solution for it.

But yeah, so I hope people really understand to just like with this funeral home.

That's why it's very, very important that you work closely with.

Uh, the people who will be in those situations, you feel no sense of where is they are handling your loved one?

Yeah.

You know, you cannot be, uh, undecided because you're on a time clock.

Yeah,

you really are.

And I was happy to hear, uh, where, uh, Farina Brooks had called in

while

Michelle Luckett Pitts was on.

Tappy and with jazz Tyler and one of the things that I've been telling people for some years because I went to a meeting at a cemetery with funeral directors and this meeting was called on because and and I ended up calling What is it?

What is the funeral home Graceland?

Okay, so I ended up calling them because some youth

Had went up there and they were driving cars all over people's headstones

And

you know doing donuts on the overgraves and things

that And so it was like I had a whole subject on that like okay, so what what are you?

Offering to do for those people whose loved ones graves have been desecrated.

You know, what what is the what is the situation?

So they said that they were reaching out to and they were also going to have a meeting with all of the funeral directors and Also, they invited me to come so

I went

and hearing the late Dr. Mr. Reed From Reed's Golden Gate funeral home, you know Arthur Reed and he was saying it and it was a bunch of other

black funeral directors as well as some other white funeral

home

directors as well.

And he talked about the GoFundMe and Farina brought it up like look some of these GoFundMe's funeral home don't be getting that money.

Arthur Reed said that

When there was a meeting about when a lot of the youth went up there and were hanging out of cars and just Disrespecting all of the graves.

I'm like,

how

do you are y'all gonna repair that?

You know what what what did the families do?

Are they supposed to contact you?

So I went to that meeting but one of the things that Arthur Reed said and he said listen and that go fund me stuff He said the funeral homes.

We don't see none of that money.

Hmm all these people putting up these go fund me's he said we don't see that

And he said, I challenge anyone of y'all, stand up if you really receive in the money from the GoFundMe.

All of them were in agreeance like they don't get the money.

So I'm sure that there are some people that may actually do the right thing, but the majority of them that have those go fund means and it's supposed to go to the funeral home

for

burial expenses or cremation.

It doesn't.

It goes to whoever sets it up or whoever they designate to get it.

That's

it.

That's it.

And you know, you got people just.

feeling empathy for him and let me go on and make a donation this and the other and it I would say from the amount of funeral directors that stood up on that.

At least 90% don't get the

money.

They don't get the money.

Now they stuck with still trying to have to do these services.

So they were talking about different things that they were going to implement because of the youth coming up there because.

It was somebody else's funeral, right?

And but then they just start wilding out inside of the cemetery.

And so that's one of the things where they say, well, now if it's a homicide victim that they will not allow, you know, you got to bury the person on another day.

And it can't be like where everybody is coming.

It's like limited

who can come out there because the funeral processions in some of those cases.

are so disrespectful.

So they hanging out the roof.

They, you know, just, it's, yeah, it's crazy.

Wow.

It's crazy.

So they had to come up with some parameters to say, well, now if you, any of you funeral home, if y'all come in here and

it's a

homicide victim, yeah, yeah, y'all gonna have to do the burial on a different day.

Wow.

Or at a time where, you know, you ain't got a whole long line of cars.

You know, following this procession.

Wow.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

And I've seen it.

I talked to a lot of funeral directors, so I know it to be true.

Mm hmm.

Yet a finesse in the dead Aaron is him.

They absolutely are.

They

absolutely are.

And here people really trying to donate because they want to try to help because of the kind nature.

Right.

You know, and they see the grieving.

parents or guardians or sisters and brothers and like oh wow that's tragic and so you know they donate but to know that in majority cases the funeral homes do not get any of that so now the funeral home is stuck we're still trying to do the service because now if you don't do it and you say well until y'all pay this or until y'all pay that we're not moving forward now you viral social media stats

Look what they did.

Well, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, my brother and they talked about the angle.

They just want money.

Yeah.

How about

the money

on the go fund me page?

Oh, yeah.

You know what I've been hearing a lot about Homer is people that have loved ones that have passed away and the loved one did play an in advance.

And they made that person or another person, um, the, uh, the person to take care of the business and that person ran off with the money or didn't put the money up or somehow the money ain't there.

And so that person is still sitting wherever that, you know, funeral home or wherever, you know, that's a shame.

Yeah.

That's a shame.

It is, it is.

And that's why, you know, it's important.

We got to handle our business, but the business will handle you.

And when it handles you the way that business works,

you

know what I'm saying?

You may feel some kind of way about it, but it is what it is.

This is a business.

Yeah.

You know, you, you're paying for a service.

Yeah.

And if you're not paying for the service, I'm

not

going to be able to properly do

what

I need to do.

Yeah.

And then, but now you the problem.

Right.

Oh man, you act like you man.

You can't do this man.

You know, man, I got money.

I got money to pay me.

Right.

Pay for the service.

Yeah.

Pay for what it is that you're saying that you need or want.

Pay for it.

Pay for

it.

Do what's right.

Yeah.

It's like people that when we were in the kid and play era of bumping a DJ booth and it was turntables technique 1200s being used and.

man,

I'll pay for that but you know, don't hold your drink over this.

Don't hold your drink.

Oh man, I can buy all of this.

Be like, okay, then when you say, okay, well, this is gonna cost you $2,000.

Oh man, I know it don't cost that.

No, hold on, hold on, no, no.

Give me that same energy.

Right.

And you were saying

that I got it, man, whatever it is.

Right.

Yeah, no, give me that same energy.

Yep.

When I give you the bill.

Give me that same energy.

Yeah.

No, they don't want to do that.

Man.

I know it is.

Don't see.

You don't know what my line of work

takes

to get it done.

Yeah.

You know, that part.

Yeah.

All right, baby.

We got to get ready.

Take care of some bills.

Yeah.

You wasn't sitting here doing hospice.

No.

Uh, you couldn't take time off.

Uh, some people had to, uh,

Lose a job or step away from their job to take care of that loved one.

Yeah.

And but at the time everybody.

Yeah.

I'm going to be there.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, I got the morning shift because you know, I don't I work second shift.

Okay.

Cool.

So you got that covered.

All right.

Then this person.

Okay.

Blah, blah, blah.

But then you find yourself being the only person and for a lot of people it does make them bitter

and I

understand.

I understand.

But I just learn.

with my immediate family and the different situations that happened that led to their deaths.

And majority, you know, we kind of knew, well, that they were going to be passing away.

So it was either they got put on a home hospice situation or whatever.

But you listen, if some family members that, yeah, I'm not straight with them after they didn't do what they were supposed to do, I'm not straight with them.

I am not.

I am not I am not I'm not I handle the business though I handle the business and I'll let whatever they got coming to them come to them but yeah you you can't uh want to always be around and want to get uh take control of doing the obituary and uh you know you want to do

a party or the repass, which you're not donating.

You're not cooking no food.

You ain't doing nothing.

You haven't helped secure the location, but yet you want to do all of these things and not know the hell you not know the hell you not.

I'm telling you, there were immediate family members of mine that faffled.

They faffled.

They

faffled.

They faffled.

Hold on.

They messed

around.

I'm maybe at a bunch.

the hell y'all grown ass older brothers and sisters, what y'all doing?

Now what we not

gonna

do, you not gonna get to, and yeah, and let's get to chandelier, nah the hell we not, where your chandelier money at?

Where your

chandelier money at?

I gotta tell you something.

I'm just saying.

I gotta tell you something.

I am blessed to, now my family ain't perfect, right?

Far from it.

But I'm blessed to have some of the greatest siblings that I could possibly have who they all, every last one, even the two that are gone, really took to heart what my parents told us.

Y'all got each other.

And that's it.

Y'all need to look out for each other and take care of each other.

And every time somebody in our immediate family passed, we closed ranks.

We look out for each other's kids, and their kids' kids.

That's what we do.

You know, and right now, that's how it should be.

That's how it should be.

Yeah.

And that's a blessing to learn, y'all.

And it's a blessing to be able to, you know, I mean, I'm the youngest.

And I, you know, I mean, my siblings have done things for me

that

I could never repay.

I could never, you know, but I, you know, I love them and I appreciate them.

They support me in my little radio situation.

You know, and all the things and I just, I, you know, I love them and they should know that and my cousins, my cousin's brother and

all that.

We all been, you know, because this is all you really got, right?

But sometimes your friends are closer than your own family.

Absolutely.

You know, in some situations, you better say it and put

this down in your book.

You know, but remember your family is your family when other people leave you when other people are gone

Those

are the people that are coming to get you when it's over with

when, when, when, when is that situation?

Cause they, yeah, that, that's what we are taught that it should be and how it's supposed to be.

But I'm telling you,

if we go keep it real to

the next level and I'm blessed and that's a blessed situation because

I'm

going to tell you it's a lot of other families out here and it's like, oh hell no.

Cause it's people that have been, listen, it's people that have been raped and incest and molested

these people

and the

other family members.

They said a damn thing and you up here.

Like I just.

a criminal complaint where the girl told her mother and she was talking about a recent charge case and she was talking about uh it was it was just as bad as that other uh criminal complaint where brother love was saying that you know they need to be able

to see it's

situations like that.

There are situations like that.

There are.

So to the families that

got it together.

who I'm happy

for you.

Or people that, you know, not all families have it together, no.

And some of them is halfway together, don't matter.

But at the end of the day, what should be happening.

That's what should be.

Yep.

That's that's a key thing.

It should be but again, it's not and for a lot of people.

Yes, there's a lot of anger.

There's a lot of frustration and some people on the outside looking in they ain't seen how many times that they have been done so wrong and all they tried to do was help.

All they tried to do was be a great brother or a great sister or a great cousin or whatever the case may be and how many times they've been defecated on by the people you don't gave them leads to jobs.

And the person is, you know, you got a, a, a in road to where it's like, you know what?

You going to get the circumvent some stuff because you saying you really ready to get it together.

And sometimes you can just keep getting defecated on to where it's like, you know what?

I'm not doing this no more.

I am not a sewage district worker that has to go down there knowing that there's going to be gases and all this kind of stuff that you got to deal with.

There's going to be some putrid smells and all of that that you got to deal with.

So.

I'm, I'm just speaking on behalf of those who know that they have some immediate family members.

It's just like when we talk about, uh, you know, I've gave my viewpoint several times when we talk about, you know, the father should be in the home where the daddy at the daddy ain't doing it.

But if the daddy been kicking the mama's ass, if the daddy been, uh,

molesting

the boy or molesting the girl.

That is a reality and a point of view for a lot of people.

Yeah, and that's what that's why I say for them.

I didn't say that.

I never say everybody.

Not everybody.

Yeah, but it's unfortunately more than it should be.

And that's where we are able to say dysfunctional families.

There's a lot of dysfunctional families and it's not

that everybody didn't want to try to help or work with a person, but until these people are ready to help themselves, you know, you can give them all the resources.

You can pay for them to go to a treatment center.

You can, if they not ready to get all drugs, if they not ready to fight that alcoholism, then unfortunately you're going to waste a lot of money.

And you're going to waste a lot of time.

But what you should learn from the lesson, if you are wasting that time, it's like, you know what?

I can feel good about myself that I did the best that I can do that my mother always instilled that.

So now.

Do I want to see them in that situation?

No.

But if that's the choice that they keep making, even though we've given them homes or, you know, gave them shelters so they're not, what is it?

New word, unhoused, you know what

I'm saying?

But I'm just saying, so you've done that.

They end up coming in, violating your home.

They end up coming up, doing things with your husband or your wife or your woman or your man or they.

well I do feel bad for those that

that have been in those situations.

However, also realize that there's a lot of people that weren't in those

situations.

Yes, and that's why I say blessings to them, blessings to them.

But I'm telling you, I've seen it on every level.

I've seen it on every level.

So to those that have it, like I say, appreciate the blessing that you have because that's how it is supposed to be.

Anita Nicole said, my kids already know my wishes and those not on board, gonna learn that

day.

I'm just saying, uh, like the lovely said, I stopped giving to the funeral GoFundMe accounts.

I've known families to take the GoFundMe money and then skip in town and letting the deceased get buried public.

That's what I'm talking

about.

Oh, I don't see them in Bahamas in every place.

Wow.

Like what?

Yeah.

And then get mad.

If you say this, what you took, you can't tell me how to spend the money.

So now we got a.

Yo, people.

There you go.

Yo, people.

Yeah, they are.
