We're moving to Wisconsin. We're moving to Wisconsin. I said so long.

I said so long. I said so long to me. My name is Roy. The sun was shining. My name is Roy. the sun. My name is Roy. This is my job there. This is my job there.

How are you doing? This is, I'm moving my hands like a celestial system of the stars and the, I'm, my hands represent planets orbiting and they're coming into alignment, like an eclipse, like a solar or lunar eclipse. The same thing you do when you want to Mali, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'll say though in regards to that law in Wisconsin. I feel like there are a lot of scenarios where some families would welcome that extra cash. Here's what I'll say though in regards of scenarios where some families would welcome that extra cash. And you know, we talk about kids not working and not needing to work.

I was a child that at 14, like the first time I really was like the idea of needing to make money came from supporting my Nintendo tape habit. I didn't really fuck with sneakers. I didn't fuck with comic books. But when the new Nintendo tapes came out, I had to have $50. And the simplest in to do that was to go and rake leaves. $10 for the front, 15 front and back. And so I would walk around the neighborhood with a box of trash bags and a rake. And I would do you straight. And if you said no, then I would take the bag of leaves. And I would tak. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the take the bag of leaves from another house that I'd wait. I'd wait until night time and I'd come and dump those leaves and spread them evenly. I'll just drop it. Then I'll come back a week later. This is, honestly, this is one of those moments where I wish my wife was listening. Because she'd be like, you and Roy are the same eff in person. Because when I met her that's how I ended up getting a job at the mall because my parents was like Yo, why did our neighbors keep coming back telling us that you dumping leaves on the lawn and I didn't want to tell my parents that they denied me

So I ended up getting the job at the mall like I was angry I was angry. I was I was a bright and smart. I was bright and smart. I was bright and smart. I was a new yard and I got the the the the fuck. I the fuck. I the the fuck. the fuck. I the the fuck. the fuck. the fuck. I the the fuck. the fuck. the the the fuck. I the the the the fuck. I the the the the the the the the the the the th. I was th. I th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. th. I was. th. I was. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. the the the the the th. th. I it. Did I say I was angry? I raked two yards. I just made $30. One more yard and I got a Nintendo tape. No, we all work those jobs where they got us out of there before nine o'clock. Juggling that job and school and trying to have social life. It's not healthy to be in there until 11 o'clock at night. And then you're at that age of 14. I don't know what I can't to say to say to say I can say I can say I can say I can say to say to say to say that I can say that I can say that I can say that I can say that I can say that I can say that I can say that I can say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say that I can that I can say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to the the to the to the the to to the to the to they. to they. that I that I that I that I that that that that that that. that that they. to to the to to to to to to the to to to to to the to be in there until 11 o'clock at night and then you're at that age of 14 of I don't know what I can say yes or no to. I mean I knew what I can say yes and no to but 14 year olds these days, it's too much. And then there was also you know if remember be like just slightly serious for a second so my father died when I was 16. But that last year of his life, he wasn't working as much. And then on the other side of his death, it was me and my mom trying to cover a lot of different shit that my daddy's, that my daddy's side of the money was covering.

Was covering. My senior year of high school, I was working 30 hours a week. Now, I was, it was bulk on the weekend. But there was thia thia thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to too toeea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toe. th weekends, but there was two nights a week, dog, that I was literally working till 10 o'clock on the school night. If it wasn't baseball season, I was out. I was working. And then I would get up in the mornings on Saturday mornings and work at that rehab hospital,

6.30 to 2, I would come home and sleep for 2 hours and I'd be back out the door for a 5-to 11 somewhere. Yes. And still raking the leaves. So in the scenarios where your family needs that, I don't know. I know we're trying to protect the kids from themselves, but if you're 14 and you've got to get it, you're gonna figure out a way. But you know, man, you know what? May as well be above the books. My kids just recently realized that there were child labor laws actually. And I had to explain to them why.

Because they didn't understand. They were like, what do you mean? Like, there was a time in this country where, if it was between making you work on the farm, and if it was between making you work on the farm, and if you to school, since you made money working on the farm, they didn't send you to school, you just worked on the farm. And if you ended up like I was telling my daughter, like girls used to get married off at 12 and 13, and started having babies at 14, because there was money and all that kind of stuff,

so you know, now I kind of look at it like most of the record, don't cut that out Lawrence. And they need to hear that. I have wonderful children. I love both of my children, I do. But they also don't necessarily understand. Like you, like Roy, you had a reason at 15, 14 to work. My reason was always because, which sounds way bad when I think about it now. But my reason for wanting to work when I was a kid was because my mom would not buy me designer clothes. Point blank. My mom was like, if you're gonna get, if I'm gonna buy it, we're going to Montgomery Wars and you're gonna wear these reversible shorts and be happy with it. And I was like, you can't keep doing this to me. So eventually I got a job basically so I could clothe myself and not go to school

wearing a bunch of bobos shit. And that's where that's where that's where that's where that's where that's where that's where that's where that's where that's where that's where that's where's where's where's where's where's where's where's where's where's where's where's where's where's where's in the day. I get it J. G. I get what you're saying but it's like we they go oh well kids shouldn't work and the thing that my mom asked me my the first job I had what a tax return was Baskin Robbins Western Hills Mall when I was 15 and before I went in the store my mom looked me dead in the eyes and she said are you sure you want to do this until you're 70. You have the option to not work. And I just wanted to work. And when I look back on that time and reflection, I don't know what I would have done other than just sit around and dream about money. Like, I don't know, like, I think, number one, I think kids should work because I think it establishes some level of decency and responsibility and sense of duty. So you need that structure that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th th th to to th to to th to to th th th to th to to th th to to their to to to to their to to their their their to to to to to to to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work. to work to work to work to work. to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to to to to to to th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to thi. to thi. thi. th need that structure, but you also shouldn't be forced to work 40 hours.

Right. Because that part of it isn't necessary. You know, there's a lot of fast food spots that are going to take advantage of this. Also, if you got a bunch of 14 year olds working at fast food spots, they're going to be fucking up everybody's order. All the 14 it was going to be done wrong. They're dumb. You're at 14, you're dumb. You don't know how to put the burger together the right way. Respect. 14 year the 14 year olds, the 14 year olds cannot mess with the middle age Latino folks who be holding down McDonald's and shit. They cannot fold the burgers at the same speed.

That's because they know what they're doing and they take pride. They take pride. I their their their their their their their their their. T their. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T, I. T, I. T, I. T, I. T, I. T, I. T, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, their, I their, I their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. Their. Their. Their. Their. Their. Their. Their. Their their their their their their their their ta. 14. 14, ta. 14, ta. 14, ta. 14, ta. 14, ta. 14, their ta. 14, theirthem leaves and sprinkle them in another person's yard so that person would hire me to next day. I did not care. So wrong. That's market. That is not who you want making your hamburgers. That's not who I agree with that part though. I do agree with that issue.

That's the bigger issue is that you're employing 14-year-olds and jobs that in the construction zone with that stop slow stick that you flip. That's even worse. Put them on the freeway. That's good work. That's good work. That's what I want. No. Let that 14 year old drive the pavement machine. See again, Jacqueline, you can't say no, but I'm going to solve your problem.

Because next summer, you're about to have your very own 15 year old mine, but three months, you gonna be like, you know what, we need to make all these children work The hardest thing we can possibly do She ain't even put her phone down why she swept your flow like I'm trying to tell you Your daughter will call you in 48 hours to come home trust me Yeah, cuz you gonna call first you don't know my daughter She's gonna work you.

Well, I'll tell you, I don't know if this is a worst or first or both, but this was, as soon as I graduated from FAM, I was a biology major and the intent was to go to dental school, but I did a little too much focused on Delta and SGA and I wasn't quite as focus as I need to be. I needed a little more time and I had no idea what I was going to do after graduation.

So there was a gentleman who had come to campus to help us with an S. J. event, where we had a speaker series and I was in charge of like escorting him around and he was like you are so impressive. What are you doing after graduation? And mind you, this is like March or February and we graduated in April. And I was like, I have no idea. So he hired me, so he hired me. So he hired me, this is not one of those SBI jobs, he was a financial advisor. to Dallas, Texas, but he also had an office in Detroit.

So he hired me. This is not one of those and you'll know what I'm talking about Roy. It's not one of those SBI jobs where they were giving people signing bonuses and relocation and all of that. No, this was a you show up in Dallas on this day, however you get here, good luck. Oh, swing. So, you know, my daddy helped me hook him home to the back of my Saturn and we drove from Florida to Texas, got me set up with to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, got me set up with an apartment, and I have this job, and it wasn't quite what I thought it was going to be. He had me in charge of like client services. I was supposed to just come up with ways to wild the clients, right?

So it was easy at first. Hey, we don't recognize birthdays, we don't recognize the birthdays, we don't recognize the anniversies,. He also was not physically in that office. He has said he spent two weeks in Dallas and two weeks in Detroit. He was only in Dallas a couple days out of the month. The Detroit camp. That's all the tell you everything you need to know. In the office, there were a lot of other remote employees,

but in the office was me and another young lady who was about my age, but she was still in college. Very responsible. But the two of us left our own devices. We would sometimes get off track. So eight months in, he flies in town to meet with us. I probably have maybe worked in the office with him maybe 10 times total after these eight months. And he, you know, sits me down. It's like, this is not really working out. And I was kind of surprised, but I've never been fired. I've th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. th. to to to to th. to to to th. to th. th. to th. th. to to th. th. to th. th. to to to to thi. to to to to thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to me me me me me me me me me the the the the the the the the the their th. th. thi. thi. thi. thee. thee. the. theea. theeea. theea. theea. toea. know you never had. Just go with it. So he slides these papers to me and was like, I'm gonna have to let you go. You need to sign this. And I was like, I'm not signing anything. My mama taught me, don't you sign nothing, right? But essentially I was being let go. Because it wasn't working out. their, theyce was. th, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, the paper, the paper, the paper, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the, the, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, the papers, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I'm, they. they. they. they. the papers, I was, I'm they. they. they. the papers, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, it was a good package. She gave me severance, whatever. But I was in Texas eight months. I don't live in working there. No, no, no, severance was like a couple of weeks. It was country.

But, I'm about to say, damn, he gave you eight months. Listen, this job, this job, this job. I don't have enough time to -free phone number, right, for clients. I fancy myself a bright young lady, but what I didn't realize is that by giving my friends and family members this toll-free phone number and tell them they can call me any time they want you. Because at this time, there would know any time, everywhere, you know. So you had to pay long distance.

So my cell phone was like a 8-5 it was long distance if I was calling it down. So he shows me all these phone bills for all these months by the minute of all these calls. And the young man that I was dating at the time, which isn't the young man I'm sitting next to right now. He and I used to talk on the phone like every day for a very long time. So the problem wasn't the bond. Which is the point of the show. I was young and didn't have any guidance or leadership in the job. You better watch it. He basically was like, I'm gonna give you this a little bit of severance and you need to be glad I'm not charging you to pay me back for all this money you spent. And cost the money, the money, the money, th. th. the money, th, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, which is the money, which is their, which is their, which is their, which is their, which is their, which is their, which is their their their their to to to their, which is their, which is the point is the point is the point is the point is the point, which is the point, which is the money, which is the money, which is the money, which is the money, which is the money, which is the money, which is the money, which is the money, which is the money, which is the money, which is the money, the money, the money, the money, the money, which is their their, their their th. I they. It's th. It's they. It's th. I's they. I was to they. I was So I left. And I couldn't quite move back home yet because I ain't have any money and I had to finish paying my lease.

So I started working temp jobs. The first temp job I had was at a hospital, something Presbyterian in Dallas. And I was the one that came around to the room with the computer to do the birth certificate when somebody had a baby. And we are under very strict instructions not to respond, not to give suggestions, not to make faces. So if somebody is like, I'm a name my baby, Anfrani, and they start spelling it,

you do not correct them. No, I'm just using that as an example. You cannot say, oh, did you mean to say Anthony instead? You can't do any of that. And even if they ask your opinion. So I'm a name my baby Boom Shackalaka and you just got to just go B-O-O-M. And I could not in good conscience look at those sweet little baby faces and let them be named terrible things. Oh my gosh. So I was not asked back after a week. A week, you couldn't fake it for a week? No, but it was through a temp agency, so I got reassigned, got a great gig for a couple

of months until I got a better job and I moved to Atlanta. I stayed there for a year, then I came back to Tallahassee for grad school and the rest is history. I got my act together. So that was my worst, slash, first. Well, what's the worst employer, it appears. Well, sounds like y'all got some shit to discuss at the end of this podcast as a couple. I was right to say, we can come back. Oh, my goodness. I mean, I had versions to this. I've never, I didn't know you.

I didn't know you can't strike, striper. See, this the other thing that happens when you marry. You talk and the spouse don't hear what you say and they hear what they want to hear.

R.J. comes on the show once a week and I assume that y'all are just, what I can tell, working through a lot of stuff that I don't know.

Like J.G. I feel like I shouldn't be listening to them talk to each other right now. It's not like they work. That was the, you know what, that was the idea. In fact, I don't even know what we're talking about. My producer doesn't share. They keep it between them and then we come on. I'm like, okay, so what's up? What are we doing today? We're talking about what,, you get props for me, man. Because I'm gonna tell you, I'm married to a very strong woman as well, and there's no way in hell.

That's what the homie said. It's got to be a thread. Y'all just ain't connected it yet. Okay. We gotta go to a break. We gotta go to a break. Y'all just might have to stay a kick at the whole show.

And there have been droves of people on both sides of the aisle.

And this isn't even talking about the random spin-offs of Trump that have been out there. But there are a lot of people who now want to make a difference. They are being active in their communities. It's a lot of first time as young and over 40 running for office. I just met a young woman. I was back home in Birmingham for the Magic City Classic. And this is a woman who used to be kind of a party promoter and do kind of some smaller stuff. And she told me to my face she said Roy. And in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, th, th, the, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tr. I, true, true, true, tom. I, tom. I, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, is, is, is, is, is, theld me to my face, she said, Roy, in 2024, I'm running for Judge. Like she's coming for, like, and so it's so dope to see these people being active and going out there and trying to be the change in their communities. Just as quick as you can or as long as you want to, man, what are the best practices for someone that hasn't been in politics, who's trying to tipto tow into tow into tow in thoe thoe thoe, thoe, tho, like, like, tho, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, tho, to, to, to, to, to, and, and, and, and, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, somea, and, somea, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,toe into that, even if like, like, Corey Bush is a great example over in Missouri. Or you look at, um, I don't know the- the L. A. O. C. O. C. R. the. the.

Randall Woodfin. Yeah. You also have. Stephen Reed in Montgomery. Yeah, any chance of shout out more house, niggas. Y'all go ahead, continue to. But no, in that world of politics, because this is the part of the show where we really get into employment and things that you can do to better yourself and seek out that stuff. And I know that for the people who are civic-minded, yeah, what are some of the best practices? Like should you spend a year or to . to to to the to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. thi their thi. thi. their thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. te. teat. teat. teat. tea. teat. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi of the best practices? Like should you spend a year or two building your connections and learning the community and the people? The advice I would give as it relates to trying to enter in the public service. One, do it authentically. People like to make politics so much more complicated than what it really is. Politics translated is simply the study of people. You're a person, you interact with people every single day. You either have a care for them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them their their their their is simply the study of people. You're a person, you interact with people every single day,

you either have a care for them or you don't. You either have, you know, a love of where you live and think that everything is perfect, and you want to preserve its perfection, or you see where the fault lines are and where the change can be made, and then you step in and you want to make that difference. So so so so so so so so the the first. So, so their their their their. their. their. their. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to, thi. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.. I, their, their, their, thi.... I, thi. I, to, thi. I, thi. I, thi. And, th. And, their, their, their, their, their, thi. I, thi. I, thi. I, thi. I, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta. I'm, ta. And, ta. And, ta. And, ta. And, ta, ta, ta, ta, made, and then you step in and you want to make that difference. So my first piece of advice is do it authentically. I used to run a candidate training program.

I founded one and helped a national program and we would have these candidates come through, you know, people who thought they wanted to one day be candidates. And after experiencing them for one week of an initial training, I'd say I would definitely not like to see you in public service from that standpoint. I understand you like the transaction, but there are a lot of ways to be part of a transaction. Lobbying is a way to be part of a transaction. Public service from the standpoint of an elected official should be just that. It should be a service to the public, and you ought to come by it in my opinion, honestly. And I know politicians get a bad rap because we only hear about the bad stuff, but there are a lot of people, far more people who get into that line of work with sincere and honest commitment to make where they live and what they love better.

And then there are people who get into it for alternative reasons, and there are also people who get to it for good reasons, who over their their their their their their their their their their their their th time th time th time their th time th time thir thir their thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to to to to to to thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to there are people who get into it for alternative reasons and there are also people who get to it for good reasons who over their time and service get exposed to so much bad that the line start to be blurred between what is right and wrong. It isn't so black and white for people anymore. So your moral compass is very important. Ways to get involved is volunteer. That thing you want to change before you ever run for elected office to change it, maybe, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, to to th, th, to th, to th, th, th, to th, to to th, to to to th, to to to to to to to to to to to to tho, to to tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th th th th th th th th th to to th to to th th th th th th th th th, th, th th, th, th th th th, th th th th th th th tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tho tho th, th, compass is very important. Ways that get involved is volunteer. That thing you want to change, before you ever run for elected office to change it,

maybe you ought to try changing as an individual with a community and other people who are concerned. And then determining whether or not that's their calling or not. And then I think I would say lastly, Roy and Fam is that you don't necessarily have to be in public service from the standpoint of an elected official only. There are a lot of ways to be in the system, a public civil servant, going and working for the local government, applying for a job at parks and rec, and one day working your way up to become the director of parks and recreation, you know, if that's what you choose. So there are, you know, there are a lot of avenues in. It isn't as complicated as people like to make it. The reason we often say it's complicated is to either excuse ourselves out of having to do the hard work,

or to make sure that you come to believe that the barriers are so high for entry that you never, ever, ever step up to challenge me one day for the office that I desire. You understand the first rule of politics is self-preservation. And so most people, despite how good they may be, they don't want competition. So they figure out ways to keep you from being able to compete. But Cream always rises. And I think people who are made of good stuff and good stock find their way into the process and they last. And those that aren't, you know, you

see fall by the wayside. You know, man, I was a big fan of you before I've ever had the chance to sit down and meet you tonight. I grew up in a DC area where government shit is all I know. But listening to you speak man I think I've become a bigger fan of you and what you're doing because it's clearly a sincerity there and I grew up in an area where people ain't that damn sincere. They tell you they're running for office because they know it's money involved. But to see somebody who still has that that moral base man. I I respect that way more. And I appreciate that. I gotta tell you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the to to the to the to the the the to the the to the that to th to see that that that that that that thi that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the thi the the the thi the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that thi that's that's that's that's that's that that moral base man I you know I respect that way more way I appreciate that. I gotta tell you our kids are crying up top and I keep thinking like oh my god this

podcast is they're gonna pick up all of the their voices they are screaming up top. No no you gotta do what I do just put them off in one room and close the door. Nobody can hear that shit the mics are awesome you know you know what we did about we put them in one room. Unfortunately, it's right above us. Yeah, so the parents here. Yeah, I understand. I understand. So, well, I was just going to say there's a flip side to that coin and I want to present this point to RJ. We all know in politics, there are no permanent friends, there's only permanent self-interest. But it's right. But at your house, you keep it real. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I their. I their. I their. I. I'm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I their. I their. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. There are no permanent enemies. There's only permanent self-interest. But at your house, you keep it real and you keep it on straight narrow. How do you do that support, knowing that it's so venomous out there? I think it's just what you said after Andrew and I knew each other in college.

But when we dated and got married, he was at least a local elected official. So even then I could see how different his world was. Even, you know, in a place like Tallahassee that's not a big city, I see the difference. I see how people treat you sometimes, you know, very admirably, excuse me. Yeah, um, of this young man, you know, youngest ever elected to office in Tallahassee. Some people for what you can do for them, some coming out of the woodwork to attack when you're like, what was that about? There was no, there was no reason to attack there. But also realizing, it's like you just said, Ralph, Andrew's sincerity and authenticity for what he does, it goes way back. It's like Roy said, it goes back to our days at Famue. He can trick you in the walk and in the heat when you wasn't planning to go walking.

But I might not be able to keep you because Subway. You didn't say nothing about marching back. You just said marching there. Funny stories that we were in SGA together and we actually bumped heads a lot and didn't see out of eye, but I could never say that he didn't have the right intentions, even though I didn't necessarily agree with the way he wanted to get things done. She was much more conservative. I was. I'm one of those. It's like, let's go in, have meeting. Like, how long are we going to be there?

And when do you make a decision for when we are going to leave? I didn't say that. When are we going to make the decision for, and then what if we leave and we haven't gotten? I did want to know what we wanted. Absolutely. We want to marchbrushes. What is the end? Correct. That's all I'm going to know. What I wanted to deal with was the game right now, which is, we are pissed off at what you did.

Yeah. And there are consequences. J.G. Yes. So I'm going to get back to it. Oh, damn. in real life, because when she, what's going to happen is we don't mean, our wives are going to meet and then both of us are going to be inconsequential. You might as well go to the way top. But because the outside world is so tough, you know, you got to have skin like an alligator

is what we used to say. You know, he used to tell to say online are off, don't read the comments. And it was important for us, especially when Andrew was running for governor, that our home remained our home. It was our safe space. Respect. So that he could physically feel the energy being different when he walked in the door. Our kids luckily were little. We wanted to keep it safe for them. Like our home is our home. Yes. And none of that outside stuff gets in here. You know, I hate to make the comparison that I'm sure y'all have both heard before, but

y'all very much remind me of Barry and Michelle. Simply because, no, real talk. You know, people consider what they want to, but for the eight years, that dude was in DC, you did not know Jack's shit that was going on in that house. There was no way to know it. They kept that whole thing together super tight. They really still don't know a lot now. That's why I like, you can't answer it all. Now whenever you see one of the daughters at a concert smoking and kissing somebody, oh, oh, that's all you got on the break. That's all you got to know, the that, the that, that, the that's all, that's all, that's all, that's all, that's all, that's all, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. That's all th. That's all that's all th. That's all, that's all tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, that's th. Oh, that's that's that's that's that's th, th, th, th, th, th, th. Oh, th. Oh, th, th. Oh, th. Oh, still th. Oh, still th. Oh, still don't th. Oh, still don't th. Oh, still don't th. Oh, still don't th. Oh, still the the that, still the the that, still the that, the the the the that, still the the the that, still the the the that, still the that, still don't that, still don't that joint. Barry gave her that joint. You go on up. All right. Let's go to the break. Let's go to the break. Let's go to the break. No, that is admirable that both of them though.

You could always tell President, First Lady or not, their family came first. Always. And it is evident with the two. And I wanted to make sure people understood that you need that level of support and understanding because no one is perfect. Talk about it, JG. No one is perfect and it is an unreasonable standard to keep ourselves. I always, you know, I would tell you for everything we have been through, what I've

personally been through, the now, you know, being in recovery, you know, from alcohol and, you know, being in therapy for the first time in my life, it's become very, very clear to me that most of what people have to say to you and about you is reflective of their own trauma and their own, say, say that again, so instead of having to deal with this stuff, they projected everything onto you. And you're like, you don't, like, you don't, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, like, like, thi, like, thi, like, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thing, their own shit. Pay that again, bro. So instead of having to deal with this stuff, they projected everything onto you, and you're like, you don't know me.

You don't know me. To be that passionate about how you feel about me. You clearly are representing how you feel about something else going on your life, you ought to get to that. Hurt people, heart people. And I don't that in that in that in that in that in a that in a th. th. th. th, thu, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, th. that, thin, that, their, that, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. to. to. to. tell. to. tel. to. tell. to. tell. to. to. tell. to. to. the. the. th. the rest will make sense. So, like, put that on the shirt, bro. I'm telling you, I told her. I mean to market that right there, but it's really, really true. So I just, I hate that I learned so much later in life about coming into my own happiness, joy and pleasure. So much time was spent outwardly about, okay, how do we make this better for all of us and then maybe it heals a part of me internally.

And it, maybe it worked the way God wanted it to, but in reverse I would have loved to have done the me work. But the truth is that we're all on the me work, probably for the rest of our lives. Absolutely.

Andrew Gillum standing by for scammed in a week, but since they're native Floridians, you know, it's nice to just kick back and do it for Florida this week and to help us give you some Florida stories to break the ice as

always this gentleman, he is a pleasure to bring on this program, walks around barefoot so he can be in tune with the earth, feel the chakras or whatever the fuck that shit is. And if you ever in central Tennessee or somewhere up and down the I-65 corridor, ladies, if you go outside and put an empty bottle of Southern comfort up a flagpole, he will appear. His mama named him Narado, we call him Rod for short. Welcome. What's up? What's going down? I appreciate you getting the word out about my that signal th-- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th-- th- th--------------------------------------------------s-s-----s-s- th-s-s-s-s- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th-s th-s th-s th-s th-s th-s th-s th-s th-s th-s th-s th-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-in-s-in-s-s-foo-fo-foeeeea-fooooo'-fo'-foooo'-fo'-fooo'-foo'-foo'-s'-s'-s-s-s-s-fo'-fo- His mama named him Narado, we call him Rod for short. Rod, welcome. What's going down?

I appreciate you getting the word out about my bat signal. Real quick, Rob, before we get into breaking the ice. What to say you to 14 year olds, the state of Wisconsin is rumored to be lowering the child labor law age to 14 and allowing employers to let 14-year-olds work as late as 11 o'clock p.m. That is outrageous. This is a perfect example of them just trying to let you know. They're doing this in the face of adults not putting up with their bullshit anymore. So this is a clear-cut example of them like who can we take advantage of now? How about 14-year-olds?

Yeah. Like we went through this before our fucking reconstruction after the civil war. We're supposed to be done with child labor law shit. Like, yeah, remember back in the day them kids like 13 working in the rail yard and coming home like one-like, like 10 years old working on a fucking mud. Got nubs on their hands and stuff. They might do the finger on hand because they want to pay attention. But my counter to this though, Rod, my counter to this though is that in the homes where a 14-year-old has decided that this is, yo, I need to work, I need to, they have chosen to make money. Are we taking, are we saying that 14-year-old is too stupid to realize that,

no, dog, you just need to stay at the house and kick it? When there's some households that need that little extra couple dollars that's not supposed to be a child's place. I think that goes, that speaks more to a problem with the fact that you have to get a license to have a car, but as long as you can fuck, you can have a baby. We need to, we need to do something about the requirements for being a parent because a 14-year-old should not need to work to help make ends meet. That's not, that's not, that's a their a their a their a their their their their their their that's a that's a couple. That's a couple. That's that's a couple. That's that's that's that's not, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's a couple their their the requirements for being a parent because a 14 year old should not need to work to help make ends meet. That's not that's not his or her problem. That's not the child's problem. That's not the child's problem. That's their parents problem. Again, I'm in a total agreement with you

not to put a 14 year old out there. That's a social economic issue. It's a whole big problem, but I just don't see 14. It's outrageous. Like like people are like you can I get three more dollars out like how about you bring your underage child in here let them stay to almost midnight like that's a horrible negotiating tactic. And 14 year olds don't know how to defend themselves. They don't know what to say yes to they don't know what to say no to. Yeah, they're not ready for that, man. That's the bigger issue. The bigger issue is that you're dropping 14-year-olds into an environment that's very hostile.

I don't know if you're seeing these fast food spots, but you've got to got hands. Exactly. We got lower the age to conceal and care than 14 also because, uh, yeah, it's rough out here right now. All right, let's give the people some shit to break the ice. Which one is this? Let's keep it Florida, man. We got guests from Florida. White people. What you want to be talking to your black co-workers about if we're keeping it Florida is rapper Kodak Black recently put out a video where he defended his actions at a party

recently where he was dancing with his mom and kissing her in the mouth and gripping on her as like she was a stripper. His mama. His mama? Yeah. Kidding, right? This was this was Tom Brady kissing his two-year-old son on the mouth to the teeth power. A lot of people naturally had a big problem with what was going on in that video. How did he, how did he touch your ass? You ever been drunk at a club with a girl you knew you was gonna fuck that night? No. He like that.

Yes. He was gripping and smacking over and over again. And attempting to kiss her in the mouth. It was very uncomfortable. He was gripping and smacking over and over and and attempting to kiss her in the mouth. It was very uncomfortable. Oh. Downs o'clock Georgia girl need to find us a statement on this real quick. It didn't make it any matter.

Wait, what did he say? You get that? Codak Black says, a the shit out of my mama. We've been through a lot of shit. My mama was my mama and my daddy, bro, my daddy left a nigger when we was young. My mama dog, it was broken shit. My mama stood up.

Talking about, you adore her and you'll kiss her feet and you ain't gonna make a love a woman properly unless you love your mom's the right way. And it's just like, yeah, I ain't about to try to finger my mom's in order to learn how

I get this theory, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I their, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I'm their, I'm, their, their, their, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. thi, thi, th. thi, thi, to, th. to, to, to, to, th. to, their, their, their, their, theory like you know if you can't love your mama then you can't love another woman in theory in all the nice ways I get that but in the video This how you love your mama right here like just wow For a second or two he was really playing but then I guess something else kind of to them but he was playing in the beginning I don't know all right let's flip it up Brian let's flip the script like people what you want to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the to be the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi theeeeeee thi thi thi thi the the the. I don't know. All right, let's flip it up, Brian. Let's flip the script. Flight people, what you want to be talking to white people about as it relates to Florida is two of their favorite things. Dogs and guns.

Hmm. Recently had a woman who breeds dogs in West Park, Florida had three teenagers come over to the house where she keeps the dogs, checking out a couple puppies worth a reported $4,000 a piece. And that's when the kids decided that's a little bit out of their price range. They were more freaking a 399 and they up pistols and took off with the puppies. and this woman kicked out of her front door with her own semi-automatic and started bucking back and they got into a full-blown shootout in front of her house over those dogs.

Yeah it's not dogs as money That's a livestock. That's a bread They basically took $12,000 Like if you think about how she looked at his three puppies, that's $1,000 $1,000. They're arrested two of the kids, but they haven't recovered the dogs yet. But she's not facing any charges because she was defending her home. Yeah, that's danger ground in a fear sense. I would think somebody trying to steal a drug from you. You allowed to shoot at them from your porch.

Was she not concerned with hitting the puppies? I guess at the point where it's like, you know, these people people people people people people people wouldn't be here to enjoy the 12Gs from those puppies. Or they're gonna get away forever with these, with these dogs and so I'd never go get them back anyway. Fuck it. If they die, he dies, he died. They did to me.

They did to me. No. Damn these dogs. You just put a gun in my house. Look about fuck about the dogs no more. You get out of that. Yeah, no doubt. Everybody got to go. I have a question. And this has nothing to do with anything.

It's such a sidebar. So Rod just went to a wedding. And he was in the wedding, and I asked him a question about that wedding. And he didn't answer it. So I'm going to ask you now to to ask you you you you you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you now now now now now now now to ask you now to ask you now to ask you now to ask you now to ask you now to ask you now to ask you to ask you to ask you now the the the thoom about the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to So I'm going to ask you now in front of everyone. Did you sleep with one of those girls at this wedding? I... America. I don't think you understand me. I did not have sexual relations with those bridesmaids. Everybody knows I've been celibate since 2009? Come on, man.

Yeah, well, you know, this isn't going to work out for us. This wasn't

what I thought. Did you walk off just no call no show? Did you like formally I told the guy, had enough respect I mean, yeah, you're such a dignified man. Even a young man. No, I'm not. I is impressive, brood. I went to work for a hardware store in this particular city and I realized it's a very good white lady who had it, who hired me. And she was married to a, you know, a good white guy. I know, right? I know. And, and about week two on the job, I realized that the manager who was over the wood section, who was this black dude, and the good white lady who hired me were in a situation. Oh. Oh.

That I ran up on. And, uh, just back there in the light department. When she realized I had ran up on it, then, my back there in the light department. When she realized I had ran up on it, then my duties really kind of changed. I wasn't as responsible for restocking the nails. Because the nails were the worst. Y'all, I had no idea there was so many variety of nails that you could buy. And when people came and asked me where certain things were in the store,

you know, I just kind of make it up. And, or get out of Dodge. Like, I'm sorry, that's not my section. You know, if you whatever, but I really was supposed to know where things were in the store and that kind of thing, but that lasted a good year and a half where I got paid and I. You didn't, you you you you you you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't have to do any work because you had secrets. You know stuff started to become revealed and I had to get out of there so but that was about good into my senior year. You're a respectable brother so like this is a question that I don't even know if you want to answer but I got to push you on this one.

After you caught them in the act, did they keep going after you look? Oh yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, and it wasn't just one time that I observed and I wasn't. What? Wait a minute what? Some folks in the shit Ralph because it's dangerous sex at work where, come on, fuck me right now on top of the lumber. Yeah, like is that type of shit. Hey, I told you, the man was an expert at wood. She was really, she lived. She, now it just worked out that way. Not an expert at wood. So I guess I was actually part in that would, Shardy. So I guess I was actually part of the scandal because I leveraged knowing, I didn't

ever, of course, threaten. I never got into that. Yeah, you never, black male, no, you ain't part of it. A bit of an understanding. The podcast is real talk with Andrew Gillum, Monday. That might be the best clothes we've ever had right. That was Wednesdays. Yeah.
