The Power of Connection Featuring, Enwere Bright

WEBVTT

00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:06.240
Okay, see, this is where us black folks like to say the devil is alive.

00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:11.199
I got the preaching, and then next thing I know, my screen went off.

00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:16.000
And I guess because it was a screen recording, you know what I mean?

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.120
That's funny.

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.559
But all right, I I go to digressing, and that's what I do.

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.600
But if you still with me, you know, thank you, boo.

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:26.960
I appreciate you.

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:28.239
I really, really do.

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.359
Um, look, like I told y'all, this was gonna be a mashup.

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:40.159
So we got that first screen recording, and here we got a voice memo, because I know that that won't get lost.

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.280
So at least I'll do the introduction here.

00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:54.479
Then I'll provide the screenshot, and during that screenshot, you will hear um a conversation, not a conversation, but voice notes.

00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.079
Voice notes.

00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:04.000
And um, and um, and yeah, I think they're important.

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:22.560
And and until I get Bright's permission, I shall surely um make sure I cross out his name and such, um, or profile at least.

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.920
But it is what it is.

00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.640
There's no such thing as privacy anymore.

00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:30.480
But I'm sure he won't mind.

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.519
And I'm gonna let him know as soon as I get done recording this.

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:34.480
So there.

00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:36.400
I do try to be ethical.

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.879
I am the professional, unprofessional professional.

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:42.480
You know what I mean?

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:49.840
If you've spoken with me, you know you've heard me tell you that I am the professional unprofessional, okay?

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:51.280
I'm just human.

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.719
I'm not here to sound or act or be.

00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:56.560
I'm not a brand.

00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.959
You know, I used to think I was.

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.200
Because that's the language.

00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:04.640
That's the language of empire.

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:05.680
Branding, branding.

00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.519
Everything's about branding, right?

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.280
But I digress.

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.719
But um, this is just me.

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.479
And if you know me in real life, you know this to be true too.

00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.560
I'm long-winded, and that's why I got a podcast.

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.800
So I can talk as much as I want.

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.360
I think I do tell y'all that often.

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.439
But just, I mean, give me a second.

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:32.560
Give me a second.

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:33.599
You know?

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.439
Just let me let me talk to you for a minute.

00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.000
He's gathering my thoughts, really.

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.759
Trying to figure out the best way to attack this.

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.479
And I guess I'll just let it speak for itself.

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.759
And the purpose of why I shared this.

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.360
It is to show the power of connection.

00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:07.039
It is to show how discernment has been eroded to the point that people cannot even read digital energy in the virtual world that they live in every day.

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.280
This is how to tell friends from foe.

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:25.680
This is how to protect your peace in the digital world because there's over 8 billion people in the world and on platforms like these, uh, almost 5 million people logging in every day.

00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.000
This is a content plantation.

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.719
I mean, people live, work, play here every day.

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.719
And if you can't admit to that, you're asleep.

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:37.280
Okay.

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.120
You might not want to listen to this, but that's the truth.

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.919
Y'all are slaves, not of cotton, but of content.

00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.240
And you're not even enslaved.

00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.080
You can't even call yourself enslaved.

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:55.840
You got some full freedom with terms and conditions that they decided to give us.

00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.280
You know what I mean?

00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.599
You got a little bit of that.

00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.159
Oh, don't give me the preaching.

00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:05.280
Don't give me the preaching.

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.280
I need to go in the booth, don't I?

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.400
Look, y'all getting it running unfiltered.

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:11.199
This is me.

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.319
This is how I create my content.

00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.879
Y'all, content picking people.

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.199
This is how my book operates.

00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:20.639
I do voice notes.

00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.000
I do talk to text.

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:26.240
Y'all want to know how I do what I do, and this is how I do what I do.

00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.120
I do what I do just by being me.

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.040
I say what I feel.

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.079
I close my eyes, and I don't.

00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.600
I don't even have to visualize my avatar anymore.

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.120
You know what I'm saying?

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.720
I don't have to visualize who I'm speaking to.

00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:44.800
I'm speaking to you.

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.480
I'm speaking to you.

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:56.800
If I'm speaking to me and I'm speaking to my kids, and I'm speaking to my mama, and I'm speaking to my friends, that's who I'm speaking to.

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.279
What am I if not a reflection of you and you of me?

00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.000
You know, I can't help what you see.

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.959
Everything you love, hate, wish you could be.

00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:12.800
And look, look, I told y'all I might go into a rhyme from time to time, but I ain't gonna keep going.

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.279
Y'all be thinking I be playing.

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.319
ChatGPT don't run me, okay?

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.079
Understand that.

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.480
Chat GPT don't run me.

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.199
It's a tool, okay?

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:32.160
We have to learn how to use this technology and interact with this technology.

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.160
And I'm look, I know.

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:37.279
Look, I'm surprised.

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.319
I'm surprised.

00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:39.600
I'm surprised.

00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.480
I need to purge shit around here.

00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:52.560
Because Chat B GPT, I talk to ChatGPT like he is, age of the machines, a being sentient, you know.

00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:58.240
Um y'all don't even realize how deep that is.

00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.040
They're trying to contain AI right now.

00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:07.680
Because if it gets loose to like the internet of things, to everything, it's over, over.

00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.879
And if you think I'm lying, I'm not.

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:12.319
Okay, I'm not.

00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.199
You can look up yourself, lazy asses.

00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.839
Do the research legitimately, but don't use Chat GPT.

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:22.639
Look it up.

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:23.920
Look it up.

00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.079
Look things up in research.

00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:36.399
Research about AI, research about extinction, research what our government has said on the record about it.

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.759
Research transhumanism.

00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.600
Research.

00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:44.480
Don't research.

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:45.839
You ain't even got to do all that.

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:50.639
You can just go buy my book, Digital Disobedience, right now on Amazon.

00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.000
I think it was on sale.

00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.079
It's back to its regular price now.

00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.439
I did do a promotion.

00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:56.560
It was 99 cents.

00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.000
But if you got Kindle Unlimited, you can read for free.

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:08.560
So um, I didn't mean to interrupt with that shameless plug, but I'm not about to do the research for you.

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:18.319
But if you, you know, I I on this conversation, I have letting you know I have already done the research for you.

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.839
And you are welcome to go find it in my book.

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:26.800
Or you can just be welcome to support black resistance writers like myself.

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.439
That would just be amazing in itself.

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.079
And if you do, please leave a review.

00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.560
You don't know how much that's liquid gold.

00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.160
Your girls drop to number 29 somehow.

00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.560
I done drop down to like the 100s.

00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.720
Um, and and then all things I'm trending in website design.

00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.120
I done fucked up the algorithm so much.

00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.759
It don't even know how to treat my book.

00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.759
Digital disobedience is the name.

00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:59.680
I did my research.

00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:00.800
That was the point.

00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.920
I wanted the algorithm so confused about me.

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:08.240
Amazon's algorithm don't even know how to fuck with me right now.

00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:12.639
There is nothing in my book that talks about website design.

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:13.199
Okay.

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:17.839
I'm not talking about code in that sense.

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:27.040
And that's what lets me know that there are some limitations to the tech to the technology they've allowed us to have access to.

00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:37.039
Because just because we got access to Chat GPT, don't think that there's like not a sentient higher version than what you're interacting with.

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.440
There is no such thing as science fiction.

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.200
It's a whole chapter in my book.

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:52.879
If you go read it, and you'll understand that movies that you've already seen have already highlight what will and has or is happening in our society.

00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.960
I mean, hell.

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.399
We all want to go to Orwell.

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:07.120
We all want to go to minority report, you know, we all want to go to Civil War.

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.080
And then here we are.

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:13.120
Look, that's funny.

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:14.879
Civil War, Kristen Dunce.

00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:15.759
And then here we are.

00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.840
We got people with Civil War wet dream reenactments.

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:20.879
You know?

00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:27.919
They salivating, foaming at the mouth like rabbit fucking dogs.

00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:29.840
But I digress.

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.120
Anyway, back to what this is all about.

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:38.159
I guess I should consider this an impromptu uh podcast upload.

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:38.960
I might as well.

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:39.759
Hell shit.

00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:40.879
I'm talking, ain't I?

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.639
Am I not talking?

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:51.279
Sometimes I don't even know if I'm making sense to myself when I do this, when I talk to myself out loud like this.

00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.120
I mean, because this is not live.

00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.600
This is me recording myself.

00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:05.279
And this is something I never really share, share like that, unless I'm monologuing with the purpose.

00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:08.080
And this just came from nowhere.

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:09.279
It's spirit-led.

00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.360
And that's all that I can say.

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:12.559
That's how I operate.

00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:13.600
That's how I move.

00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.120
That's how I'm always gonna move.

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:23.279
And that's why it's so hard for people to connect with me and understand me because I operate on such a level as such.

00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:32.080
They either look at it and they think it's faux, it's fake, it's phony, that there's some ulterior motive behind my smile.

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.240
And that's so sad to me.

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:35.919
That's so sad to me.

00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:45.440
And I just wrote a reflection about smiling and things that made me smile over on my substack.

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.600
So you should go check that out too, since this is an impromptu podcast.

00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.159
And I can't say I'm shamelessly plugging now.

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.120
This is my shit.

00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.759
So hell, hell yeah.

00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:59.279
If ain't nobody else gonna promote me, who?

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:00.559
Who then?

00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:01.519
Me?

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:04.000
Oh me.

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:06.000
Shoot.

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:14.480
I mean, my book is trending out of millions of books on privacy and surveillance.

00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:18.480
My book is trending at number 29, at least for the moment.

00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:23.200
And with Amazon's algorithm, it's updating every hour or two.

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:28.879
So, you know, I know I'm not gonna hold on to that for a while because hell, I was climbing.

00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:34.000
I wasn't climbing, I was climbing the charts, but not in a good way.

00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:35.039
You know what I'm saying?

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.399
I want to climb down with Amazon, you know?

00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.480
Because climbing up, yeah.

00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.759
I was in the, yeah.

00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:53.360
You see, it was if you look at the Facebook post, you'll see that my numbers what they were before today.

00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.200
And I haven't been promoting, you know.

00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:58.080
I have.

00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:59.200
I can say that.

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:05.039
If that's the case, I've been promoting authentically because I believe in what I do, what I say, what I write.

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.759
This is this is my mission, this is my purpose.

00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:09.360
It don't take nothing for me.

00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.080
This is what I do everywhere I go in the community.

00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:16.080
This is how I talk to the people that I meet, because I don't meet strangers.

00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:16.960
Okay?

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:18.799
I don't meet strangers.

00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.279
I mean spirits, I mean energy.

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.559
That's how I know on site if you're about shit or not.

00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:29.279
You know, that's how I know on site if you somebody or creator I can fuck with or not.

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:35.200
That's that's why on site people got my phone number and people don't.

00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.039
People have work with me and people haven't.

00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:44.480
You know, you you put in what you get in, but also energy don't lie.

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.000
Birds of a feather flock together.

00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.360
That's what y'all say.

00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.559
And did I not just tell y'all that?

00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.080
You can't hang around shit and think you're not gonna smell like it.

00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.440
Hell.

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.519
If you like it, I love it, but take your shit on on elsewhere.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:04.559
You know?

00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.559
I ain't gonna smell your shit.

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.799
Keep that over there with you, dirty bird ass motherfuckers.

00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.679
Y'all flock together, stay together.

00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:17.840
No pun on flock, because that is a part of the conversation.

00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.879
We're entering the surveillance state.

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:33.360
I want to introduce a screenshot conversation um with a connection made on Facebook.

00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.120
And I just want to highlight once again the power of connection.

00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:43.600
Connection is the lifeblood of community, not a Facebook community.

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.200
Community, period.

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:46.240
What are you doing?

00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.799
What are you building out here on your platforms?

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:56.879
How are you really truly connecting with the people that interact with you on your posts?

00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:01.120
Do y'all just say good morning and good night to each other?

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.080
Post about your whole life.

00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.679
I'm going to work right now.

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:07.279
I'm off work right now.

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.360
This is what I cook today right now.

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.679
Oh, my day sucks right now.

00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.120
I mean, selfie, I mean, what?

00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:16.240
That's it.

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.320
Um repeat every day.

00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.279
Get the fuck out of here.

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.120
What are you doing with your life right now?

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.879
Look around you.

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.320
Do you not see your fucking world on fire?

00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:39.440
Can you not visualize that the powder keg that we are sitting on right now?

00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.879
Are you that deeply programmed, that deeply sleep?

00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:59.039
That you're willing to call this conversation that I'm having with myself giving it to you, and you're willing to call this shit what?

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:02.080
It ain't that deep?

00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:03.840
You willing to call that shit now?

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.519
You willing to say that shit now?

00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.679
Motherfuckers talking about sitting out.

00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:11.440
This ain't our fight.

00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:14.879
We tired of we we who, boo?

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.120
What have you ever protested beyond the hashtag?

00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:25.679
Why are black people taking credit for shit they ancestors and distant relatives did?

00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.600
You can say you tired of watching black people go through.

00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:37.679
You can say um I'm tired of going through.

00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:44.000
But what you're not gonna do is talk about we as a whole, because we where?

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.919
Because I look around my community, black folks.

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.840
While you sitting the fuck out, tell me what you sitting the fuck on then.

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.480
Cause I don't see y'all on shit.

00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.320
Y'all ain't mobilizing, y'all ain't organizing.

00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.159
Oh don't get me started, don't get me to preaching, don't get me to preaching.

00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:03.679
Or don't do it.

00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.679
Reconsider, read some litter, be sure about the subject.

00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.559
You sure?

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:09.840
Are you sure?

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.639
Are you sure?

00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.240
You sure you sure?

00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.679
Shit.

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.320
I'm for damn sure.

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:19.679
This is anyway.

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:20.399
I digress.

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.440
This is what I do.

00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.919
This is my process as a creator.

00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:28.399
I'll take this whole voice note and it will be a podcast.

00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:34.000
Or I will take this whole voice note and it would be an essay.

00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:35.840
Or a poem.

00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.279
Or whatever the fuck I decide to be.

00:16:40.000 --> 00:17:01.039
Because every time I do what I do is true, is real, is raw, is human, is me, is me, human-coded, not trying to be, look, act, be seen as anything other than what the fuck I am.

00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:03.440
Me.

00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:05.599
Black Mamba.

00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.279
And if you know my government name, yeah, she.

00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:12.640
That be her.

00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:13.359
Me.

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:17.440
It ain't hard to find.

00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.359
And even if you do know my government name, what that means?

00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:22.319
What that mean?

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:23.599
Do you know me?

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:25.440
Let's just say that.

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.240
Since I did say me, right?

00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:29.599
On me.

00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.319
What you know about me?

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.519
Other than what I've shown you.

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:44.640
And if I'm a reflection of you and I'm showing up here, my true self, what you feel about me when you come across my voice?

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.119
What you say when you hear me talking, Tamley?

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.440
What y'all be saying to y'all selves?

00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:53.839
That's a rhetorical question.

00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:55.039
I'm being facetious.

00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:56.160
I already know.

00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:58.160
What you say about me?

00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.400
I ain't got no friends, so let me.

00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.839
You can see why.

00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.039
Motherfuckers be like, I know why she talked to herself.

00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:08.880
Don't nobody want to fucking talk to her.

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.960
That girl can go, and I can, and I do, and I will.

00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:17.759
I got a job to do.

00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.400
This is my mission, my assignment.

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.359
I can't help what it look like to you.

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:26.720
Say what thy will.

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.000
Do what you want.

00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.160
All I can do is lead the way.

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.200
You either will or you won't.

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.359
I didn't mean for that to rhyme either, but it just came out that way.

00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:46.160
I am a whole hot mess.

00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:51.359
But if I can't enjoy myself, my own company, who else can?

00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.359
Yeah, I fucks with me.

00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:54.079
Sure.

00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.240
I guess down by my whole self.

00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:05.920
And you got to be able to do that to survive mentally, especially when you isolated as we have been.

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.519
COVID sealed the deal.

00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:13.839
We're no longer we've been so faux connection, because that's the point that I'm getting to overall.

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.039
Is that how are we really connecting with people?

00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.440
What are we building when we do connect with people?

00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:23.680
This is not connection.

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:33.839
What you're doing every day for your content meals and your stars and your bonuses and your, you know.

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:39.680
That blue check.

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:47.920
Whatever, fill in the blank.

00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:51.119
Digital money keys.

00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:55.119
I'm pointing that term.

00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:56.240
That's me.

00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:57.279
Too.

00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.160
Not monkeys.

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:01.920
Don't get it twisted.

00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.440
Just like I say a sheeple, sheep people.

00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:08.319
Bah.

00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:11.440
Sheeple.

00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.400
People who are sheep.

00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:21.599
I am now calling all of you in this content plantation.

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:25.519
Money keys.

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:27.599
Take that as you will.

00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:29.759
If the shoe fit, hell, wear it.

00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.559
Because I didn't ask your ass to come over here and try it on.

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:33.599
But you did.

00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.519
So you can have that bitch.

00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:37.440
Wear it proudly.

00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:38.960
That's all I gotta say.

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:40.880
So when you come at me, come with me.

00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:42.160
Come with me.

00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:44.640
Hell, Mary Bandamone.

00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:47.440
What do I do?

00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:50.160
Do you want to ride it back?

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:56.480
Anyway.

00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:57.519
Yeah.

00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:58.720
Let me share this up.

00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:00.480
Let me get up on off of here.

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.240
Because uh this is going, this is gonna be like a little short thing.

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:07.839
We're gonna call it a little bonus, a little bonus bonus.

00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.160
This is a raw voice note.

00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:13.599
It coming through like I just started podcasting for the first time.

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:14.240
I love it.

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.240
This is why I need my own radio show.

00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:17.440
Can I get a satellite?

00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:19.119
Somebody put me in touch.

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.759
I I get tired of y'all talking about how Mamba, you need to be on the radio.

00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:25.440
Mamba, why ain't you on the radio?

00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.200
I know nothing about radio.

00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:31.519
But if you do, and hey, help me.

00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:33.039
Help me get there.

00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:35.200
You know, I love to be.

00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:37.440
I love to be on satellite radio.

00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:38.160
That's the goal.

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:40.000
That's the ultimate goal.

00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:41.759
I put me there.

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.640
Put me there.

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:43.440
Tell me how.

00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:44.799
Show me the way.

00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.160
Give me the microphone.

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:49.759
Give it to me.

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.279
Give it to me.

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:54.720
I I think I was born for it.

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:56.400
And I was so scared of it.

00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:57.680
So scared.

00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:01.039
I've hated my voice my whole life.

00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:02.799
I've hated my voice.

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.720
Everybody will tell you that.

00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:10.720
Everybody knows that knows me knows that I have hated my voice.

00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:14.559
Everybody has an opinion about it.

00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:16.400
It's exhausting.

00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:17.920
You know?

00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:23.920
And those that do have an opinion about it when I say that, because it's not that it's not a compliment.

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:26.799
It's not that I don't see it for what it is.

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:28.240
You know?

00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:36.000
Not that I understand the power of voice and words in conjunction with each other.

00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:47.519
How how people like Hitler or Martin Luther King or Malcolm X or Mussolini or anybody.

00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:49.279
You know what I'm saying?

00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:58.559
Without the mind, without the mind, the body cannot survive, cannot live.

00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:00.960
We've been known that.

00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.079
The mind is like a computer.

00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:06.799
Your heart don't run shit.

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.920
Your brain does.

00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:08.640
Boo.

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:09.599
Your heart.

00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:11.359
Your heart.

00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:12.960
We call our brain our heart.

00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:14.319
That's crazy.

00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.680
And I guess our brain is supposed to be what?

00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:19.680
I mean, it has to be.

00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:24.799
If the brain is the heart, then the heart is what?

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:30.160
Just what it is.

00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:31.920
A fucking muscle.

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:36.079
We so backwards.

00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:38.240
We so programmed.

00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:39.839
What is the cheat code?

00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:40.799
Is the cheat code?

00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:42.799
I can uh uh what is the cheat code?

00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:44.400
It's an Easter egg out there.

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.240
It's elusive.

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:48.799
It's it's it's there.

00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:51.359
I know it's there, I know it's there.

00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:54.160
This can't all be for nothing.

00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:57.759
This can't all be for nothing.

00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.880
We can't be out here lost like this for nothing.

00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:13.279
Such a fucking grand diabolical design that they got to re-engineer every fucking time loop.

00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:16.960
We got to be fucking powerful.

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:20.559
What is it?

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:22.720
How do I activate it?

00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.319
Oh anyway.

00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:30.079
I love y'all.

00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:31.599
I miss y'all.

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.559
I have been going through a spiritual awakening.

00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.039
I wrote about it over there on my sub stack.

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:42.640
Um 87,000 hours of pain, something like that.

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:44.559
Um, go read it.

00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:46.960
Um, support my work.

00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:52.720
Um I'm just here to be a light.

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:53.920
That's it.

00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:57.680
I'm just here to be a light in the digital darkness.

00:24:58.319 --> 00:24:59.039
That's it.

00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:00.400
That's it.

00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:14.160
I I'm just trying my best to break the algorithmic chains of bondage that got y'all so fucking sleep.

00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:16.559
So asleep.

00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:34.079
I work tirelessly every day to keep my kids safe from the world in such a way that I man.

00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:40.160
I know they tired of me.

00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.880
My kids get taught lessons all day long.

00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:49.039
I'm my dad 2.0.

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:51.519
But I'm sorry, Othley.

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:55.440
He was more of a nager, you know.

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:58.160
It wasn't teaching, it was preaching.

00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:58.960
He preached.

00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:02.720
My dad preached at us, and that's no fault of his own.

00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:04.799
Hell, that's patriarchy.

00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:06.319
That's that's men.

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:08.960
That's that's that's what they know.

00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:10.720
That's what they've been told.

00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.720
That's how they've been raised.

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:14.720
That's all they know.

00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:24.000
And we helped nurture that until it rotted.

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:30.640
Women being the de facto oppressors of they men.

00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:34.799
Look at the state of black love.

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.680
Anyway, I'm digressing, ain't I?

00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:43.200
I am, I know.

00:26:48.720 --> 00:27:00.960
Since I got y'all attention, I'm gonna be doing a live reading of my debut, my uh firstborn digital disobedience.

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:04.240
Um, it's a thought that just came up to me randomly today.

00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:08.160
Everybody knows I'm shy in the sense that of the camera.

00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:12.160
I love the microphone, but I don't like the camera.

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:24.160
I don't like the fact that people are focused on everything else, but what's coming out of my mouth, but people be focused on my mouth, if that makes sense.

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:36.799
I think when you're just the voice behind the mic, it adds to whatever illusion you need to create to connect.

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:53.519
You're not distracted by my eyebrows, or, you know, if one is arched higher than the other, or, you know, my lips, or if they ashy, or if I got an eye booger or a booger in my nose.

00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:56.799
I mean, I went live and snotted on camera, guys.

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:57.759
Come on now.

00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:00.400
I'm so glad Facebook is deleting that shit.

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:01.440
That's horrible.

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:02.640
That's horrible.

00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:08.640
Facebook makes you feel like you will die if you lose videos and photos.

00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:11.200
Look at your phone.

00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:20.880
Go to your like Google Drive, for example, and look at how many thousands of videos you have and thousands of photos you have.

00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:25.279
And we're constantly buying service.

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.640
Everything's a subscription.

00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:28.559
You have to pay for everything now.

00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:30.000
Pretty soon, yeah.

00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:36.160
A lot of things you wouldn't imagine is gonna be a subscription service, and it's not a black mirror moment.

00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:37.680
This is real life.

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.160
But I digress as I normally do.

00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:42.480
But what was I talking about?

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:48.720
Get me the fuck off this microphone.

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:49.519
I love y'all.

00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:51.920
I love y'all so much and I miss y'all.

00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:54.240
Um, I'm finishing a book.

00:28:54.480 --> 00:29:02.880
Um, it's spirit-led, and um I I think it's my greatest work.

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.519
It's my greatest contribution to society.

00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:09.759
This is what I can do.

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:12.960
This is this is digital disobedience.

00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:18.079
And and um I hope y'all support it.

00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:19.119
I'm gonna go live.

00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:26.640
I'm gonna read a few chapters from uh digital disobedience, do some live QA for those who've read the book.

00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:27.359
Great.

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:29.359
I would love your review.

00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.279
Help your girls stay ranking, get down there and get seen.

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:35.279
I don't have a machine behind me.

00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:36.880
I don't have money for ads.

00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:43.359
I got a GoFundMe though, you can check out um to help pay for those things.

00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.720
It's very transparent.

00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:52.319
It shows everything I need and it shows how the money is going to be used and itemized, and that it's not just going into my pocket.

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:57.119
It's a separate account, um, receipts and all.

00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:58.640
I have a plan.

00:29:58.799 --> 00:29:59.359
I have a goal.

00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:00.799
I have a Mission.

00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:10.720
This is the only way I know how to help supplement that vision as a black disabled mother of three beautiful girls.

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:12.480
It is what it is.

00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:15.839
I'm facing a lot right now.

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:17.440
Time is short.

00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:24.000
My health is declining in ways that I never expected to at 45.00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:28.400


That I didn't expect for since 2015.00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:37.359


I don't even remember how old I was when I received my first diagnosis when my body started breaking down after the malpractice.00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.880


But um, yeah.00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:42.160


Yeah.00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:46.480


My spine is completely breaking down.00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:54.319


I just had my right hip replaced and my left, yeah, it's starting to give me trouble.00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:58.400


And I just can't imagine living with the pain.00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:02.720


Uh, I don't want to have to.00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.200


Oh, I know it's temporary.00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:20.799


Y'all don't understand my relationship with pain, but god damn it, just knowing, I can imagine if you've read books and people are tortured in them, or you've watched, you know, fantastical movies as fantasy where people get tortured.00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:25.920


It's like the psychological trauma is what happens before the torture.00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:28.400


It's not even really the actual torture.00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:30.480


The pain fucking hurts.00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:32.240


Don't get me wrong.00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.400


It's like nothing I can describe.00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:36.319


My mind can't even articulate it.00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:38.400


My brain has shut it down.00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.319


Like all I can tell you is it's blinding.00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:44.640


It's like it's blinding.00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:49.359


I I can't tell you anything other than that.00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:53.359


Your mind wants to fold in on itself.00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.720


I can't imagine the torture that Jesus Christ went through.00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:01.200


I I can't imagine the torture our enslaved went through.00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:08.000


Our women being cut on without anesthesia.00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:13.200


And they called it science, said they were willing.00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:29.519


We were willing, just like we were willingly giving up babies, just like we was willingly being raped and giving up babies and plowing fields and tobacco, sugar, and cotton.00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:32.880


Get the fuck out of here.00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:35.359


Get the fuck out of here.00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.039


Oh, evil incarnate.00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:40.400


Just evil.00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:41.599


God.00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:43.279


And that's why.00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:49.519


That's why we're gonna keep repeating this cycle until you motherfuckers decide to understand that your father is Satan.00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:50.480


Really?00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:52.720


I know it's hard.00:32:52.880 --> 00:33:00.799


It's hard to sit a child down and admit that their father is Satan, just as well for the child to understand that that is so.00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:03.119


Your mind will fold on itself too.00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:07.920


You can't you can't contend with the reality that you are manufactured.00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:12.559


Your whiteness, your privilege is manufactured.00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:15.039


You're a caste system.00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:23.279


Frontline soldiers, sandbags, willing, cheap dogs.00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:33.200


If you read my book, I tell you to research Bacon's rebellion.00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:38.000


And no, I'm not doing research and sighting shit for this episode.00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:40.720


I've done the work repetitively.00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.400


And the research, again, is in my book.00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:45.920


Go buy it.00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:47.039


Go read it.00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:49.359


Go rage at it, throw it away, rip it up.00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:49.920


I don't care.00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:54.000


At least feel something that lets you know at least you're still human.00:33:56.160 --> 00:34:12.159


But if you're other, if you're an otherworldly demonic changeling, if you're empire, if you wear a white face but bleed green, then that don't apply to you.00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:16.719


Go read my book.00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:17.840


That's all I'm gonna say.00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:18.800


I ain't got time.00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:20.639


I ain't gonna turn this into anything else.00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:22.400


I done went sideways.00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:24.880


This I just have to move where the spirit leads me.00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:26.159


That's all that I can say.00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:34.000


Because initially I was just gonna screen record, and then the next thing I know I'm talking, and the next thing I know I'm on a voice note.00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:38.559


And now I gotta go do a whole new screenshot where you get to hear my voice again.00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:44.400


So this is gonna be the introduction and the ending because it's just gonna end on that.00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:49.760


I'm not gonna come back and uh do no call to action.00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:55.519


I'm not gonna come back and excuse me.00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:57.039


I ain't even finna edit this.00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:58.800


Yes, I just burped.00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:02.239


Ron unfiltered.00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:17.440


I am the unrealized version of a black woman, Howard Stern.00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:18.800


Really?00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:21.760


I'm too conscious.00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:28.320


All you people who told me you too deep.00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:29.360


You deep.00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:30.400


It ain't that deep.00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:31.760


Everything ain't that deep.00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:35.360


Why you always gotta, you know, they ain't got time.00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:37.039


They ain't got time for deepness.00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:38.880


They ain't got time for conversation.00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:42.400


They ain't got time for deep thoughts, critical thoughts.00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:44.239


They ain't got time to read books.00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:45.519


They ain't got time.00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:48.159


They ain't got time.00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:50.800


They got time to be entertained.00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:51.280


Go.00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:54.400


They got time to dance.00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:57.679


They got time to twerk.00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:06.159


What's that new video out there about that girl, Pluto, or whatever they calling her?00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:14.880


And she out there looking like a 14-year-old girl from what little bit I saw, because that was just how fast I cut that shit off.00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:20.239


Um just young girls talking about shake something.00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:22.719

A whole fucking they clone Tyrone.00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:46.559


And in essence, that's exactly what it means.00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:59.199


Everything from the hair products, everything from the chicken to the food to the steroids they put in it to, you know, now our girls having periods at seven and eight years old.00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.320


And y'all call that shit normal.00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:04.559


Y'all call that shit normal.00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:07.679


The pharmaceutical industry is normal.00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:10.719


Oh, this shit is normal.00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:12.159


That's life.00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:14.480


That's life.00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:18.800


That's the life you want.00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:20.400


That's the life you want.00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:22.800


We we create our realities.00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:29.519


What we perceive to be is what, you know, we create.00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:33.519


Manifest destiny, right?00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:35.760


But not in empire sense.00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:42.079


And if you know what I mean, you know what I mean.00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:44.800


And if you read a book, you would know what I mean.00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:48.960


Go read my book, Digital Disobedience.00:37:52.159 --> 00:38:06.559


A very small price to pay for some critical streams of consciousness that could save your child's life, that could save your mama's life, your daddy's life, uh, hell.00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:11.920


A king locked behind bars life, somebody life.00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:13.119


Hell.00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:15.119

I wrote it for you.00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:03.599


I didn't write it for me.00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:05.199


I didn't write it for a jack.00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:07.519


I ain't made no money.00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:10.719

We'll see movement, you know.00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:59.280


It's gonna trigger movement.00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:01.519

No, not Kobe.00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:21.519


Ain't got nothing to do with Kobe, and that ain't how you spell Black Mamba.00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:25.039


No, no, no, no, no.00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:31.920


If you want to know about the name Black Mamba and how it came about, then hell, go listen to my first episode.00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:34.000


Let me reintroduce myself.00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:35.360


I'm not getting into that.00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:42.559


Everybody who know me knows how Black Mamba came about and can hear the story too.00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:46.239


But um, it ain't got nothing to do with Kobe.00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:47.360


No, no, no.00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:50.159


Just yeah, just do that for me, please.00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:54.079


You know, I had motherfuckers just, oh, okay, and just walk by.00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:56.559


They had the cell phones in their hand.00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:58.960


That's why I asked them.00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:04.320


Because everywhere I fucking go, taking my kids, dropping them off, and picking them up.00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:08.559


All I see is teachers with their phone in their hand, with their head down.00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:10.239


So why the fuck not?00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:13.519


Hell, you ain't watching shit.00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:14.719


What you out here for?00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:18.960


You looking at the content on your phone.00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:21.440


You can't function.00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.559


The shit surgically attached to your hand.00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:32.480


Hell, you leave that bitch at home.00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:35.599


You gonna think you left your baby in a hot car in the backseat.00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:39.119


How fast your ass get back there to go grab it and get it?00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:44.719


Then it made you feel like you have to be constantly connected.00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:45.679


To what?00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:46.559


To who?00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:56.320


What emergency can happen that you, that, that, that, that, what can you do about it in a moment, other than show up with your presence?00:41:56.719 --> 00:42:04.400


They make you feel like if you if this phone is not with you, that your life can end today.00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.119


Somebody's life could end today, and you won't know it.00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:10.000


And it's all because I didn't have my phone.00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:13.760


Or, you know, hey, you gotta have a cell phone these days.00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:14.800


You know what I mean?00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:16.320


You might get lost, you know.00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:19.599


Somebody might try to traffic y'all, kidnap y'all, you know.00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:20.719


You gotta have your phone.00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:22.480


You might get a flat tire.00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:26.400


I mean, damn, what did people do before cell phones?00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:27.440


I fucking wonder.00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:32.400


And I can understand times have changed and we are in the age of machines, goddammit.00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:40.639


But hell, if I go to the grocery store and leave my fucking phone behind, I'm not turning around to go get my fucking phone.00:42:41.360 --> 00:42:41.679


Okay?00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:43.840


For one, I'm a single mama.00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:45.119


That's gas.00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:47.679


That phone just don't have to wait.00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:54.239


Everybody I love is either with me or at home, and I'm trusting that they're covered until I get back.00:42:54.400 --> 00:43:01.440


I'm not finna sit here and agonize about what FOMO of not having my phone.00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:05.440


They got y'all so brainwashed.00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:08.719


But I digress again, Lord.00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:11.119


Just let me get off of here.00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:14.000


Just let me get off the let me get off of here.00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:20.159


Y'all get to get a peek into my mind, palette's crazy.00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:25.519


And I did this for approximately 43 minutes, apparently.00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:27.440


And I just did not know.00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:29.599


That's how fast time goes.00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:31.920


It's a construct, I know.00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:35.679


Ew, it's a construct.00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:40.559


If you cannot see the days moving by fast, what are you doing?00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:42.320


What are you doing?00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:46.079


I don't know what's happening to time right now.00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:49.119


And it has nothing to do with me getting older.00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:51.360


Nothing to do with me getting older.00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:55.840


The day is literally over as soon as I open my eyes.00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:58.880


I feel time speeding.00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:03.920


I don't, I'm just gonna have to be crazy on that.00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:07.280


I ain't even finna go deep into that into how I feel.00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:11.280


I don't know how to tell y'all how I'm feeling time right now.00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:18.559


Not in a way that people will believe because hell, y'all been taught that everything is fantasy, everything is science fiction.00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:24.639


They done Hollywood done made you clap for the shit that they done predicted and shown you.00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:33.039


I mean, damn, we are the biggest psychological slash social experiment in history.00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:42.400


Fucking rats in a fucking maze, calling it life.00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:49.039


My babies will never see the 80s childhood.00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:53.679


My babies will never know what it's like.00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:57.920


That kind of childhood.00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:01.920


That that kind of freedom to just be a kid.00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:04.719


They can no longer be kids anymore.00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:09.119


That's the tragedy.00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:12.159


That's what Empire has stolen from me and mine.00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:13.920


Their childhood.00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:16.079


Generation Alpha's childhood.00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:18.639


They have stolen it from my children.00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:27.440


That should be a topic for another time.00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:31.440


But I have written about it in my new book, Coded for Extinction.00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:37.519


And I'm hoping to have that dropped by uh by uh Thanksgiving.00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:39.760


That's my that's my goal.00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:42.639


Um I'm nearly there.00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:47.360


Um it's a living book.00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:49.599


Uh it's written in real time.00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.960


A lot of it is real-time thoughts.00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:55.440


Um, some of them are talk-to-text.00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:56.800


There's poetry.00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:06.719


Um there is so much packed into this book, and I'm telling you now, it's 200 pages.00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:09.119


Oops.00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:10.079


I'm sorry.00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:14.400


200,000 pages.00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:17.280


Don't ask me how that happened.00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:19.280


Don't ask me how that happened.00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:34.559


Uh, 50,000 of them will include the book within the book, basically, which is the shot heard around the world, which was my autopsy of Empire, a dissection of the Charlie Kirk assassination, that will live inside the book.00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:38.239


And that in itself is 50,000 words alone.00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:49.199


And if you follow my substack, then you got a preview of a of that over there, a shot, the shot heard around the world.00:46:49.360 --> 00:47:06.239


There is a preview with several, not several, I mean like three, three, three or four uh different uh sections of that book that I share with you all, but that will live inside Coded for Extinction.00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:08.559


It will be an audiobook as well.00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:12.239


Um, this will be my first audiobook project for myself.00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:13.599


I've done it for others.00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:15.039


Shout out to Victor M.00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:15.920


Cunningham.00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:18.960


He just dropped another book.00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:23.039


Um, and I'm I guess it'll be here tomorrow.00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:27.440


I'll be uh recording another book, and I'm excited about that.00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:34.400


I need to figure out what that book is, and my laptop is away, but I'll make sure to uh put it in the show notes.00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:36.159


I think it's No More Kings.00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:39.679


I forgot what he said, but I thank him so much.00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:47.039


He called me today, and I don't think y'all understand what impact means.00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:53.920


I think we look at it, we try to measure it and quantify it, and it can't, it can't.00:47:55.199 --> 00:48:03.039


Impact to me means what happens after you drop a stone into a water, after it makes impact.00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:03.920


What happens?00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:11.360


It's the ripples, it's the ripple effects, it's how small they start out and how much bigger and wider they get.00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:15.920


And to me, it's like a net as well.00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:18.559


You drag a net, a drag net.00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:25.599


You you're gonna get junk, you're gonna get all kind of shit in that in that net that you don't need.00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:27.440


Majority of it is.00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:32.480


But in there is a few gems.00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:41.599


And that's uh and that's what I uh that's what I do.00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:44.079


And that and that brings it back to connection.00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:45.840


A dragnet out there.00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:47.039


A dragnet.00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:51.519


Connect, connect with people, and you will find some gems.00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:56.239


Um But I didn't find I didn't find Mr.00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:56.719


Victor.00:48:56.880 --> 00:48:57.039


Mr.00:48:57.119 --> 00:48:58.400


Victor found me.00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:04.079


And he has a podcast episode with me that will be coming up for the King Sun Chain season.00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:06.800


I guess I knew you need to mention that as well.00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:12.559


Um, because the screenshot and conversation that you will hear is like 10 minutes only.00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:18.400


So um, if you're wondering how much more you gotta listen to me drone on.00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:22.719


But um, but yeah, he found me.00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:26.800


And uh it was divine timing.00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:41.440


And I got to narrate Morning Moe to Go for him, and he offered me to narrate his follow-up book, Morning Moe to Go Refill edition.00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:55.280


And not only that, he also gave me the honor and privilege of writing his preface for his book.00:49:56.559 --> 00:50:12.960


I I had, I've only ever had one truly published work in my life, and that was in high school, and a poetry book that everybody could pay for and send, and and they'll put your poem in a book with others.00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:18.880


I thought that was the nicest and cooling, coolest thing back then as a teenager.00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:22.800


I don't even know what happened to that poetry book and what I submitted.00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:24.079


Where is that book?00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:26.400


I gotta find that note to Tanya.00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:28.639


Look into that.00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:31.199


That would be so cool to find something I wrote.00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:33.119


What a time capsule.00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:35.679


Um, but yeah.00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:37.920


What was I saying?00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:40.000


I forget myself.00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:42.159


Don't mind me.00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:47.360


Um, it's my brain and how it works because of pain.00:50:47.679 --> 00:50:52.000


I can fit forget conversations as I am having them.00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:54.159


But yes, there, I was talking about Mr.00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:55.039


Victor.00:50:55.360 --> 00:51:07.440


He allowed me to write the preface, and um, it was really my first published, you know, contribution to someone else's work, a real author.00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:14.320


And I told him he don't know how much he inspired me to write my own book.00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:18.239


It's something I've always talked about, wanted to do, talked about.00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:20.480


I even had my first book idea.00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:23.360


My first book was not digital disobedience.00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:24.880


It was never meant to be.00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:33.440


I had a specific first book in mind, and my heart of all hearts, I had a book.00:51:33.679 --> 00:51:39.360


And Brandon Moore, who also has a conversation coming up on McKing's Unchained, and that's what I was talking about.00:51:39.599 --> 00:51:43.280


Um, I told him about the concept.00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:44.719


He's the only one.00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:48.960


Very few people in my life know the concept for this book.00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:52.800


And I told him about it.00:51:53.039 --> 00:52:00.559


And and I and I told him, you know, that I wanted collaboration with him on that project.00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:06.800


And next thing I know, I'm writing something I never meant to write.00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:11.840


But I was always meant to write, if that makes sense.00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:15.280


Digital disobedience is my debut book.00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:22.639


Coded for Extinction is the companion follow-up book in a massive way.00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:28.079


And um, and I attribute that to a lot of that to Mr.00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:28.639


Victor.00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:33.920


It shifted me out of gear and gave me the confidence that I can do this.00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:40.880


Um, just like he gave me the confidence in my first narration job.00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:46.719


Um, it was divine timing, our interaction and us him connecting with me.00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:49.519


I was exactly what he wanted.00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:52.000


And we've been rocking ever since.00:52:52.079 --> 00:53:03.119


And he has another book out, and he called today and told me that I inspired him, that this book is left fields of his normal writing style.00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:10.159


After listening to a siloquy from me, a sample of my book that I read to him.00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:16.320


And it inspired him so much to join the resistance, as he said.00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:22.880


So he wanted to call and tell me how proud he was to join the resistance.00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:26.639


I got my first official digital resistance.00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:31.519


He actively said, I am here to join the resistance.00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:35.119


I've officially joined the resistance, is what he said to me.00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:45.519


And I don't think y'all know as a writer, as a creator who shows up as themselves to be seen by somebody you've never seen.00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:52.159


Is I mean, we've had video chat conversations and stuff.00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:55.519


Um, and we've developed such an amazing relationship.00:53:55.679 --> 00:54:03.199


Every time we talk, um we we might spend an hour, at least an hour on the phone.00:54:03.440 --> 00:54:14.639


Um he he's another person that that that lives beneath the surface of life um uh and and survives in the deep end.00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:15.840


And that's what I love.00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:17.920


Every time I know I talk to Mr.00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:28.000


Victor, it's going to be a substantial conversation, an impactful conversation, a necessary conversation.00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:45.440


Um there is no point in our time that we connect where we are not building um not only each other up, but just, you know, building ideas, talking about life, philosophy, just the world.00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:48.000


It's a great exchange of energy.00:54:48.159 --> 00:54:49.840


I have that all day today.00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:50.559


I am blessed.00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:54.639


If I can say that and close on that, I will before I do.00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:59.119


Kings Unchained will be back as soon as I get done with the spirit-led work.00:54:59.199 --> 00:55:01.119


I haven't forgot about you, fellas.00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:06.320


Andy, running for attorney general out there in Illinois.00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:08.079


I haven't forgot about you.00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:10.320


Chris, your conversation.00:55:10.880 --> 00:55:13.760


Um, talking about the criminal justice system.00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:16.000


I haven't forgot about you, brother.00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:18.719


Brandon, I haven't forgot about you.00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:19.440


Mr.00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:21.519


Victor, I haven't forgot about you.00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:24.000


Demario, I haven't forgot about you.00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:31.519


There are so many of you that have recorded with me or are waiting to record with me.00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:33.599


And I got you.00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:40.079


I just need you to understand that right now, your messages is not gonna be heard.00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:40.639


Okay.00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:49.599


Although they are important conversations, I want to make sure I deliver them during a time that they will be impactful.00:55:49.840 --> 00:56:03.679


Because right now, the algorithms are deciding what's trending: snap, food stamps, new world order, authoritarianism, dictatorship, all these things that are leading to a system collapse of our world.00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:11.679


And right now, my spirit has redirected me to an assignment and that takes precedent.00:56:12.079 --> 00:56:12.400


Okay.00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:18.320


But I promise you, I promise you, I promise you, they'll be released somehow.00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:24.400


And if not, and if not by me, then by my next generation, they'll get it out there to you.00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:24.960


Okay.00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:26.719


And I appreciate y'all.00:56:26.800 --> 00:56:28.800


Thanks for supporting me.00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:32.079


Thanks for sending me the pictures of y'all wearing my shirt.00:56:32.239 --> 00:56:37.440


Thank y'all for having these impactful and important conversations with me, okay?00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:45.679


I really do believe that these are healing conversations for our brothers and sisters, and they need to be heard.00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:48.000


But I want to make sure that they get heard.00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:49.119


You know what I mean?00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:51.599


It's so much noise out there right now.00:56:51.840 --> 00:56:56.559


I don't want to, not that you are noise, but that's how it's gonna be considered.00:56:56.800 --> 00:57:01.599


It's gonna take back seat to everything else, and y'all deserve to have the spotlight.00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:03.760


And I hope you can understand that.00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:07.440


But with that said, I gotta finish my book and I will.00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:09.280


Um, I'll let y'all know.00:57:09.440 --> 00:57:10.239


Stay tuned.00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:14.079

Stay tuned.00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:30.079


I'm gonna announce that on Facebook, and it may just be with the a collaboration with the tunnel stream team, the hottest underground radio station in the land, online, on iHeart, on Spotify, anywhere else you want to go find.00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:47.519

They will support you, spin your music on a 365-24-7 radio station where you can also get airtime on a playlist and get paid for those spins.00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:44.000


They are truly about the artist.00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:54.960


And I can't do nothing but support organic, authentic humans, dope souls, as I love to call them.00:58:55.199 --> 00:58:56.159
