Oh man, I'm doing well. For Shannon, how you doing, Surrey?

I'm doing great, Bro, I'm doing great. Thanks for joining us.

Nah, thank you for having me. Oh show Thanky, what's the deal? And I'm chilling? Man, Listen, I mna had your hands. I cut mine off.

Man, Chief, I want to ask you this what led you on this journey to to find, to discover, to fund this program in what you're a part of now.

Yeah.

So, so when I was twenty years old, I made I made a mistake, right, I end up, you know, making a poor choice in life, and I end up you know, committing to crime and got sentenced to six years in prison. I ended up you know, serving four years eight months. And in that time, I had the opportunity to you know, go to fire camp. And I know, like a lot of folks don't really know about that

So I had to you know, I went out and you know, went to.

Mississippi and you have an annual review every year. And when I when I had the ability to go because I have my points dropped and they was like, hey, you want to go to fire camp? And I was like, in my mind, I'm just like, what's the fire camp?

Right?

I heard?

I heard about it when I actually got sentenced, but I didn't really know. So from there, you know, just had the opportunity, you know, talk to a couple of folks. I'm like, hey man, you know what's this fire camp stuff? And I was like, hey man, this is dope. You know, you better food. You know, you have a you have the ability to go out and you know, I have a part, like saiding with your family. You you know, you in a community. You're not locked up, you're not

I'm you know, I had a couple of you know, live uh you know.

Some some some experiences in my life where I had some challenges.

I almost died a couple of times.

So I was like, you know what, this is something that you know, I'm not scared of and and I just loved it and it was dope.

So if you don't mind me asking I'm gonna ask one more question. I'll let you take it if you don't mind me asking what is some of the qualifications in which your inmate qualifies for this program.

So the qualifications, you know, you can't have an arson, you can't have a sex crime, you can't at the time that when I was there, you you know, you couldn't have any murder or someone any violating crime right in a sense, and you pretty much go through what it's called PFT. You do some physical training. Once you pass that, they give you a basic like S one

Listen, one of the key words you just said, chief is passion. You had a passion for something, and obviously most of the times people have a hard time finding something that they something that they love to do and actually having a passion for it where it doesn't become a job, it becomes something that you actually love. Now, how do you help the participants gain the skills and the confidence needed for such as a demanding job in wildland firefight, Because that's that's that's for one scary who

And that's what the forest and Fire Recruitment program is pretty much all about. Like, you know, just like us being from the urban community, right and having adversity growing up, you know, we built for it to right, We've been we've been through some stags, right, so it's really easy to chop it up with folks and be like listen, like, you know, you you already been through that road in your life, right. You already had you know, probably the

And like we already been through the worst, So why not.

Take this opportunity to get to get the opportunity to be able to be a firefighter, make the bag, you know, take care of your family and win.

Thank you this.

There's a lot that's been said about the incarcerated firefighters today that's currently fighting the fires in Los Angeles. Can you explain to us, in fact the fiction of what's circulating online? How much do I don't know if you know this off the top of your head, how much are they getting paid?

And do if only for as fires do you guys?

Do you guys go fight burning building fires or is just the large scale massive fires?

Yeah, so.

When it comes to folks us in California fire camps, they actually focus on while land firefighting. Okay, that's what you pretty much trained in though too. You know you can you know, respond to a flood or any like national disaster that needs when it comes to like just having bodies there. Okay, And yeah, so that's pretty much that that question for you, Shenny.

How about you got what what's the pay becau It's been played like, okay, you get ten dollars an hour and then blah blah you get another dollar hours or it's eleven dollars hours.

So if you don't mind me asking what's the payscale?

Yeah, is dollars.

Yeah, they're making about twenty some dollars a day. You know what I was, you know, all the research that I have done and known because they've been trying to like compensate folks for being in fire camp.

Yeah, I know.

One of my CDCR partners, Fred Money, cut the money. Yeah, yeah, he escorched me if I didn't say that. They wasn't trying to make efforts in trying to, you know, give folks some more money. But it is pretty much a dollar an hour when they out there in the fire. But they're trying to figure it out. But yeah, it's hard work, is you know, you're making what you know.

Twelve dollars a day.

Yeah, and for the day, you know what I'm saying, because they do follar shifts and then they twenty four

Man.

We need a The league is short right now.

We right when this league was in nineteen sixties, and we try to we need we need folks to be able to come out here and make it heaven.

But you check this out. Go ahead, you go ahead, go ahead.

I was gonna say, listen, early early, early in life, obviously you you've you've had You've made some mistakes. Listen, we've all we've all made them. You know, you've had obstacles you had to overcome, and you were able to do that. And many of us don't get a second chance. You were able to get a second chance. And I'm just curious, what's been the biggest hurdle you face in

So it's a lot of things.

So I think the biggest one of the biggest hurd was like can you actually do it right, because a lot of folks knew, Like it was some rumors around like yeah you can, you can't. But if you really think about it, public service in prison kind of don't mix, right, Like top you think about, you know, the prisoner, it doesn't mix. You think about a firefighter, you think about a prisoner, it.

Don't mix, right.

So I was like, you know, me and my co founder Brendan Smith, you know, we was you know, we was laying in the bunk one day or just like you know, just chopping it up, and it was like, man, like I really enjoyed this, Man, I really want to do this.

And he was like, man, you know what we should we should figure it out.

Like but I'm like, you know what, once we actually know the process of becoming coming from fire camp to you know, being a professional firefighter, you know, I want to be the model day Harriet Tubman, you feel me.

I want to bring our folks, you know what I'm saying.

Back right, So it's like, Okay, and then we obviously, you know, it was a lot of it's a lot of stuff. Stigma you know, obviously is you know, understanding the process of how to get there, right, the application, you know, build a resume and then and at the time that I was around, it was like banded box wasn't there. So like, you know, you know, you have

Take trying to tone for my mistake.

Right.

So hey, look I'm going I went to this Wildland Academy, Uh, got my certifications in college, right, and I'm you know, trying to be able to like really push it to the next level and be able to get a position with y'all. Like I'm I'm I'm showing you not only just the things that happened in the past, but also the things that I'm working on to be able to be a great citizen and being able to be an asset to the cup.

You know, the organization which is the Force Service.

So from there, you know, I got you know, then I got an interview and man, it's just like they was asking me, like, you know, so what makes you the best, you know, the best person for this job? And I was like, look, I got experience right when I was in fire cap and you know, I did twenty months you know, fighting fires, doing fire prevention work.

I was the first saw. I was out there, you know, doing my thing.

And then not only that, when I came home, I got my credentials as far as getting my certifications I need. And then now I'm actually in college pursuing my a's degree in fire technology. So I'm like, and experience, you can't be right. So I am the best, you know, I have the good position to be able to be the best person for the job.

Chief.

I want to ask you this because there's a stigmatism that comes along with someone that's been inconcentrated and they gets out a lot of time. Employment do not want to offer them that because of their prior history.

How do how are what are you doing?

And how can we as a society realize that some of these men women have something to offer society in a positive because there is that stigma that they don't want to give you a job. And so that's why I believe the recidivism rate is so I well, if I can't get a job, you're not gonna give me gable employment. I got to go touch somebody to get it, because I gotta somebody.

I'm just gonna be honest with you. I gotta subviety.

Gun. That's my guy, man, hey, And that's and that's the real thing, man.

And that's where I like one I want to tell you all today is like, you know, I can I can speak from experience.

I was, you know, I was a little firecracker when I was younger.

So I think even the respect that I gained from these men and women that's out there a bout on these fires and stuff, and that's in these fire camps. I can really attest to what they've gone through and and it's really an important factor of me being able to like talk to like. So, for example, let me tell you some some real stuff. So cal fire. Right,

You know, I've been wanting to chop it up with them for a while.

And these are the folks that you know, how's these how's the folks that's being incarcerated right And I'm really looking for a partnership for us to really you know, help out those thousands, you know, folks that's out there balloting these fires right now and should be able to you know, put their money where their mouth is. Let's listen, like, we we really need people like this is this has been going on for a long time. We started our

Just inho start to hear that my.

Director of finance or her house burned down in the Palisades, Right, it's been an effective like not only just what we've been doing and been trying to like we've been you know, we've been struggling with a nonprofit organization. You know, we're trying to do something that's right, but like it's been a lot of like you know, there's been a lot of stigmas, a lot of like you know, pressure with this and now that this hadn't happened, like you know, we've been around. We want we want to be able

Because what's the best way people can support your organization, your efforts to do what you can take what you to help you continue to do what you're doing.

Honestly, if they can donate, I don't care if it's five, ten fifty dollars right to the Forestry Fight rp dot org or even just awareness like I'm a Taed fellow twenty twenty four teen, fellow, shout out to all the tad folks, I have a ted talk and just spurring awareness.

Of the organization what we're doing.

And I think that's really what needs to happen, Like

Job, right and if you think about that in LA, like that's huge.

That's life changing money for folks, right, and and even being able to get their recordary sports like have a whole zero to hero kind of like mentality and uh and shout out to I'm gonna be honest with you, shout out to like ARC, shout out to j cod Uh, shout out to like all these folks that's really trying

Folks that the days of one them no ones would be.

Going to firect right and they can be able to get that and when they see that, you know, all it takes is a little bit of effort.

It takes a mindset. And and that's another thing too.

Shout and Oak I want to say, like it's it's you know, it's my control over debo right when you can be able to to inspire and show like, look you've already been doing it, bro, like you might as well just.

Go ahead and you know, dive all the way. It's an honest hustle, right exactly.

And you think about it, it ain't it ain't too many opportunities that you can come home from prison and make six figures.

Think about it and what we're doing.

We're like, think of we only training one hundred people for you know, year round, like and then one thing that I wanted to tell y'all talk to y'all aout too, is that I've been trying to like uplift the Buffalo Handker. So I don't know if you educated on this, like about the Buffalo Soldiers and Okay, so so they you know, obviously the African American men, you know, wanted to serve in the armed forces and they actually went out to it was a fire in nineteen ten and they saved the town in avery.

Idaho and they did a backburn.

And that's something that we kind of like do, like you know, even today, and that kind of has been kind of like a little tradition, right and being able to do prescribe kind of burns and like trying to say and stuff.

And I actually launched a crew in twenty twenty two. It's called the Buffalo Buffalo hand Crew.

And what I want to do is, you know, build a crew where I can be able to do fire prevention and fire suppression work throughout the throughout the state. Because that's one of the things too. You got those holes, those those houses that burn, and policies and on and I know, like it is like a wind event that like it's just you know, a natural disaster and you

Cut, the less and birds and all that stuff is out there.

So if if if a fire burn, if a burn, if the same thing as a break, because I remember when I was growing up, they would used to take the break. They would burn certain areas so that if there was a fire, it could only go to the so once it's burned, there's nothing it could jump over and keep going on. So I'm bearing for I'm very familiar. I just wanted to know if it burn the same thing as the break. Yeah, pretty much. And that's where I think if we do a lot of more you know,

I'm gonna be honest, but I want as a as an organization, a nonprofit organization, to be able to do this work year round and do it more frequently. And I can hire folks internally like they can go through my program and oh show I gotta ask I gotta ask you a question because I did I did. I

With the expungement.

And I got to give it a lot of shout out man to a lot of my people that you know, have been been with me since the beginning, that.

Believed in me. And you know, we we have.

A location in San Manandino, La County, we have a location in Oakland, and were trying to just continue to do our work and think what we're doing is transcending and it's really transformed folks lives. And I just I appreciate the platform and the opportunity for you to have me on here. And you know, I just wanted to do the good work. I didn't do this for for

Just to be able to provide that part.

And it's the money.

Look, it's it's a o cho ay I hear you're both saving that bread baby, Like, hey, you can't say nothing.

We got to it.

Hey, I I need I might need to, like you need to start like a little financial class or something like, I need to.

You might have to give me a little cyborg like how to do it?

Man?

So I got you, I got you, I got it.

You know what what we did tonight a chief raw Raymie.

All the money that we're gonna collect from the super chat, we're gonna donate that to the organization. But I believe so positive and so strong in what you're doing. I'm gonna personally donate twenty five thousand dollars out of my

I know, Oh Joe and I, we greatly appreciate it.

Sir, Thank you man, Salute realte.

Not not very many times, you know, do we get a second chance of anything.

Not very many times.

And what you're doing, man, is commendable and you know, from the bottom of my heart, man, I really do salutes.

Yeah, I appreciate you Shannon and Man for that.

The first thing that came to my mind, it was like that Jerry maguire, Man.

Don't make me cry.

Cry baby, Bro, just keep just keep just keep doing what you're doing.

Keep God first, keep doing what you're doing, Bro, And I'm proud of you.

I'm happy for you.

And this is a great program and hopefully there are a lot of young men that want to take advantage of this situation to do something positive. Yes, they're made mistake that, Let's not make that be the end. Let that be the start of a new beginning. So congratulations on your program. Like I said, thank you for joining us tonight and we'll check back in with you down the road.

All right, Thank you'all. Appreciate both of y'all. Shannon and Oak Show. Have a good one.

YouTube bro yep.

Oh man.

That's a chief Raal Ramsey called him Raimi No is it Ramsey or Raymie Raymie Okay raymi Uh. He's the co founding chief executive auficor of the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program and it's doing a lot of good things because what it does is give inmates an opportunity to learn a craft.

Because it's hard.

I mean, it's hard for them to get a job because somebody they put on that thing and the U have been committed up a crime. You say, yeah, blah blah blah. They're like, oh, now we can't hire you. So now I ain't got no game of employment. I'm out.

But what can I do to survive? How do I get a place to stay?

And so a lot of in sometimes family don't want you around because you know you've done something and it's so it's hard. And so you know, like I said, I mean, when you don't have employment and you need to survive, the dog won't starve himself. Humans are no different. They're not gonna starve themselves. So if if they can't get game from employment, they're gonna find a way to survive. And so what Royal Ramy, Chief Royal Ramy is doing if giving guys an opportunity. I greatly appreciate that. And

Oh jo.

An accounting era didn't get Jimmy Butler paid. Report Miami had an accounting era that left Jimmy Butler without pay for ten days. Jimmyly reportedly took private flight separate from the team in order to visit his sick father. So, in other words, he wasn't just taking it because he didn't want to file on the plane because pat Riley might have been on the plane, he might have had beef. He was like, look, I'm gonna meet you where you're going,

So, I mean, he that should have been addressed, and that should have been told to them ahead of time or the reports we want to come out that he was flying, you know, flying solo. They think he's flying because he don't want to be with the team, but obviously he had a reason why he wasn't with the team, and now that it comes out, he lets it be known that should have been already talked about internally, so

To get out, correct.

I think the thing is, I mean, I don't know how you, Like I said, I'm figuring if you're taking private flights and something like that, his dad is probably really, really ill, and you try to spend as much time as as with your fathers or the loved one as you possibly can. And you know, I don't really care as long as he as long as he's gonna be there for the game, and even if he doesn't, because there's some things that are more important than basketball. I know,

But he always ended up making the game.

So kudos to you, Jimmy.

Yeah, oh Joe, go ahead, what are you gonnay long?

Let me let me use the bathroom real quick. Hey, naymar, that's the dog that.

Yeah.

Hey, I said, hey, listen, make sure hey, un whatever you getting ready to say, I said it first. So when it actually happens, just know I tweeted it two weeks ago because a little birdie told me, hold on, hold.

On, neymar is in talks with three MLS teams over a possible move. He's with one of those teams in Saudi Arabia, and anyone on one of those teams like Cristiano Rinaldo.

Oh hold on, I mean.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's making big money over there. But theymar even talking with three MLS teams over a possible move. Oh, Joe, tell the people at home what the move would mean for professional soccer in the US.

Now we know, Uh, Messi is already.

In the league.

I think swarev U joined him also.

Right, yep, Suarez is there. Jordi Alba is there as well. And I think obviously there was a time where there was a time, I mean phenomenal trio at Barcelona when it was it was obviously Jordi Alba was there, but the trio Messi, Suarez and theymar An it was. It was a beautiful thing. It was a beautiful thing. Now in comparison to something you would understand is when Chris Boss, Dwayne Wade, and Lebron were playing together. Now, I'm not

Makes one hundred and seven million a year. How much Ronaldo.

Madeymar makes, uh Rinaldo makes one hundred and eighty a year. Yeah, And because they offered, they offered Messi something like that. But Messi took the MLS deal because he gets a sherre of Apple.

He gets a share of the Jersey sales.

Yeah.

And the funny thing about it now, I don't know if the reports was true. It might might not be. If they say they offered Messi a billion, they offered Messity a billion dollars to come, but mess Messy don't.

Need no money, need no money. I don't know if it was true or not.

You know, a billionaire and Taro avery for two years, No got it knowing them they got it.

Boy, I know they got the money and they would have paid it. But I'm sure at the point, at this point is in his career.

I don't want to end it out there in Saudi Arabia. I'm in it out here in Miami.

I'm in it in Saudi Arabia.

I edited it were they wherever they got to be here, that's where I did.

You got and you know that's that's a conversation.

Look at all the perch, don't oh yo.

I mean they got like private jazz and they got they got it like a fifty million dollar Penn house and they got armed security, all the bad.

Please, they are got it made. But again, you got to think where you're going. Now, you got kids, you got a family, you have a wife, and his wife is like listen, I didn't like it when I was in Paris, and you're definitely not.

Finnah.

Drag him from Paris and take me to Saudi Arabia. That ain't happening.

Take me care so where you want to stay, because I'm gonna be over here in Saudi Arabia while you where you are. I will get this beat I would get I would get I would get this money because Ronaldo took you. Ronaldo took the money and ran, which I don't blame me. That's a lot of money on hundred and eighty million dollars.

A year old Joe.

Yeah, man, and you got a lot.

Of bad man.

You know. It's funny.

You got to think how much he's already made before he even got the Saudi Arabia.

Yes, I think he's like one point six billion dollars. I think that's what he's made. That's what he's made in yourtality. Yeah, with revenue, with with soccer and endorsement thing like that. Yeah, crazy, yeah, oh Joe. A mother went viral for saying her sons will lose inheritance if they have a child out of wedlock.

I like that.

That listen, that's a good way to force marriage. That's a good way to force marriage on your kids, you know, using money as an incentive, saying if you don't, if you if you do anything out of wedlock, okay, you ain't getting.

The money you go. You know.

Now, if they're driven, if they're driven by that, you know, if money is the motive, then you already know what you're gonna get. If they don't care about that, you know, and sometimes due the unfortunate circumstances, shit.

Happen, Yeah, she happens. The only way to prevent that. They can't put raw meat on somebody.

Now, that is.

Man, It is how much money, mama?

How much my inheritance?

Right? And you know what, it was better.

It was better if if you if you got a report, right, it would have been better if they told us what the number was.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Hey, mama, how many my inheritance? Bey thou? Now, Mama, I ain't gonna be ain't gonna be able to hold off on that.

I think the biggest thing in a situation like that, I think I don't think they want to disappoint their mom because they know how important that is for her. You know, she was probably when she gave birth to them, they were probably Dad was probably in there, and so she wants to continue that. She wants to continue that succession of Hey, we do things the right way. We're married, you know, blah blah blah. We don't have baby over here, baby over their baby there. And so I don't have

They put that in pre nups.

Hell, yeah, absolutely, that's.

A little that's a little extensive.

Because when you get one of us get fat.

I mean, listen, I mean when when when you once you cross that, once you cross, once you jump that broom, you're supposed to accept your partner forever.

They are sometimes sometimes accept you how I met you?

Are you here? You ain't fit to be? No, you ain't finna be No. One fifty five and then in two months be two seventy five. Oh no, that ain't gonna happen.

I thought you supposed to love your person, love your partner.

Did I love the person that are married? I don't know who this is is somebody somebody kicked out my wife?

Right, Oh that's funny.

No, I mean, but no, I mean people do put that. Actually, people do put things like that in the pre nup. Or you know, who gets the dog or who gets what? And all kinds of things, Lo Joe. You know obviously

But the mom says, look, I want.

My boys to be married when they have when they father kids.

Her buddy, she gets to the side, How dim it up?

Where it goes?

And that's that's that's crazy, No problem, no problem for the nightcam crew on that.

Bank accounts because they're ongoing pinning the boys.

Because when you're depending the boys, they lie sometimes they will freeze your assets. If they think you're trying to hide or you're trying to move the money, they'll absolutely freeze them.

Even if they froze some of his assts, Brad pitt has access to eight hundred thousand. Yeah, even if so. We talked about one greater. We talked about one of the greatest actors of all time. It ain't no just no, it ain't no Joe blow. Come on, man, I mean you can't be that guy that come on man, o Jo. When you when you look at oh Joe you look at o Joe. She had just gotten the bors.

Listen, if you have a scammer that can get eight hundred thousand dollars out of you, that ain't just no ordinary scam?

Are they good?

Oh? Yo, oh ya that's a professional. The fact that that Bernie made off. Bernie made off got three billion. Listen, and you know how to do that? Pond the scheme. No, I don't want to know either. I mean, we canna have three billion though.

Hell, you got one hundred and fifty years, so they ain't got one hundred and fifty.

Years they gave. Yeah, Well that privilege ain't work on his n uh m hmm.

Man, you stole that kind of money and the people that he stole it from. See that why they need to start having our sentences. When you hand our sins, they get somebody one hundred years. We'll stop this from doing the crime because we're gonna make if you don't serve all that time, we're gonna have to get some family member to help support the rest of that.

So you got a hundred of your centizen, you want to do fifty? All right? Who wants who go, how y'all gonna break this up? Hey, I got teen and that's tie. But uh, it's uh, it's bad.

Yeah, but that's what Joe. It's always think about it, Joe. They look at the scam. I mean the ups Tom, you got a package, but you just need to send four dollars to get old.

They got links, they got links they sent you.

Yes, I ain't got nothing. I just I just hit the leak.

I ain't clicking on I I don't click on nothing.

I don't hit you. I don't even know.

But I don't even know about what.

I don't even know my credit card information, so I

It's gone. Yeah, yeah, crazy.

All right, Well I think about them days when I I mean, you probably don't know about it, but you know I'm I'm of I'm ten percent of Nigerian descent, So like I used to be Yahoo boy, I don't know if you know anything about us. But but oh man, I just.

That's another story for another day.

Man Walgreen CEO says anti shoplifting strategy backfire. The top executive Walt Green's lamented the loss of cells from putting items at like toothpaste behind locking key. Cracked down on rabbit shoplifting has plagued the pharmacy change around the country.

From stealing it, right, But then but then it's it's messing up, is messing up sales because yes.

Guess what, but guess what, we're not selling as many of it, but they were stealing more of it.

So I'm lose, lose, lose either.

Way you look at it. Yes, how do you how do you count that as a CEO?

What do you do at that point? I don't know.

I just have to leave it locked up because I guarantee you they're stealing leaving a guy like that probably and that's why and people talking about man, the prices, the price keep going up because they keep stealing. You keep they keep stealing it. It's dropping the prices up. Something something haves to offset that, and.

That messing up everything.

It mess it messes up for everybody. I just I just.

People don't seem to understand how how how the economy works. Somebody gotta pay for that. Oh yeah for lost, I got it. Somebody has to pay for that O yo, time.

I don't think if people understand, guess who's gonna have to pay for it?

The consumer that actually buys it, all us the thief. The thief ain't paying for it. We have to pay for it. And then you know they've gotten really laxed. Unless it's so what is it like eight fifty or one thousand dollars and it's not a they just write your little citation or something like that, like nine hundred dollars and so uh yeah, it's bad. I mean at Target is the same. It's Target is the same thing. A lot of these like it used to be, Like where did that go?

Hell?

I went to Sally's I think the other day, and they got stuff grease and stuff like I'm.

Like, what damn Sally be this fly?

Yeah, I'm like, man, I've tring to give me. Somebody trying to get something that fifty seventy tenth Beiji. You know what I'm saying.

That's why it.

Was locked up.

Okay, so over here still great.

But see that's why I like to go get stuff in bulk. So I'll buy keep going back. Yeah, I'll buy twenty of Listerines.

I'll buy forty two to two page fifteen the olderest.

Yeah, because I don't like going back because I know y'all gonna have it locked up. So and then now Shelley just ordered, so I only really have to go right. Yeah, But I walked a ceo Walgreens. I totally understand there. There's a hassle to go in there where you used to going you in a hurry oho, and there's never anybody there. They're normally you know, cashiers or something that

Hey see, I kind of I agree with you in a little bit, but I don't think you really understand the joy and in the pleasure, in the excitement it gives me. Now to give you better context, remember when you was a little kid and you was going in the store. Yeah, remember theyrs did you you remember you've heard of as Yeah, the jewelry store.

Yeah, no, no, no, no, that's no.

Zerah was like a like back in the day, like in the early eighties, in the early eighties, late nineties, Z's was like a J. C. Penny almost like a little bit or Publics or something like that.

Route.

I think if I if I'm not mistaken, like a like a target, that feeling.

You had when you know you're going to you're going and going into Target.

Let's say you're a little kid and your mama say before we get in here, I'm telling you right now, don't you ask me for nothing but that and excitement and knowing you was going in there and there's a possibility you might be able to get something.

Oh.

Z y z y r E zero discount z A z A y r e y s.

Yeah, even as even as a grown adult at my aid, there's a certain level of excitement. I swear, I swear for God and be able to go in the store and yeah, get stuff. Yeah, but to go to Target. Just I don't think you don't understand what that target run does.

Target existed until I got to Colorado, real No, but we had belts, we had J. C.

Penny, we had stuff like that.

We have no Target and no glenn Ville where no Tale in Savannah, yes, when I went to school.

So you don't understand the joy of actually take going on a target run and walking up and down the aisles, going for one item and coming out with ten Like oh yeah.

That's why I don't like to go shopping now, because I ain't never go into about one thing. I go get on juice. I'm coming out with muffins. I'm coming out with pretzels, Yes, a popcord, I'm coming out with a whole bunchet. Listen, I'm going yeah, I noticed likely go. Even when you go into like these little convenience stores O Yo with stuff was all out there and you had all those cookies on the thing, and it was penny cooking and Penny candy and all that stuff. You

I can't remember last time I've been inside a convenience store.

No, nothing at all.

Because then after a certain hour, oh yo, they lock it and then you like you want a soldam They think, can I get a sprite? The guy go get the sprite, it put it in the thing. You just can't walk in the store. After a certain time, things have changed, and they've had to change. I mean, you know, it's gotten dangerous out of here. You know, people a lot of people don't care, don't care anything about their life, and they damn sure don't care anything about yours.

So they'll take whatever they can.

And it's not good enough to just take it and just move on.

They end up harming somebody.

But I definitely understand what the CEO is talking about, But we all get impacted by that, oh Joe, because it drives the prices up for everybody.

Oh yeah, they gonna get that money back.

Someway Q and a oh Joe Night Caprice, you've donated five hundred and fifty dollars to a board. Oh okay, I was gonna say that first. Go ahead, we got the animation. Come on with YOUO. We got nightcap I mean Q and a night Capri. You've donated five hundred and fifty dollars for a very worthy cost. Thank you so much. Also, I'm deal a personal domination because I

Yes, Sir Katy prays your story, it was inspiring. Keep doing what you're doing.

What you're doing wish I had more to help your cause, any little bit of helpcare, but we appreciate that. Man Sls said, Shout out to all the firefighters for the hard work you're doing. They're doing sitting in love from Canada. Yep, were great, greatly appreciated. So much damage has been done to the men and women that's out there fighting, putting their lives on the line to try to get these

Landy Ray just wanted to donate to a worthy cause.

Cheers to the chief and firefighters and all my fellow nonprofit workers out there as well for the fighting a good fight, fighting the good fight.

Yes, Landy, thank you appreciate that.

Bradenson, my dad was a correctional officer at the fire camp in California. He loved those inmates and working alongside them, some of the most hard working and kind people.

Thank you appreciate your dad, Yes, Keeper now Jr.

Who's the worst quarterback in NFL history or wide receiver in NFL history?

The worst quarterback? Yes, Nathan Peterman.

Uh, he got a strong case, JaMarcus Ryan Leaf. I think the thing is on Joe.

Is because those guys were such high draft picks.

I mean, you know a guy that's a fourth round pick or something like that.

The draft.

You're the number two pick in the draft.

It's a lot of persons that live up to those expectations.

Uh it really, it really is uh uh uh Wide receiver Blackman Jacksonville.

But I mean he got in trouble though.

Uh well, you didn't feel expectations. Charles Rogers got in,

I mean you probably have to go back.

I mean, considering the NFL as over one hundred years old, I'm sure there were some, but they didn't get the coverage like we have now.

Keep up? Do you want what's good nightcap?

I'm a big Atladda Falcons fan and I'm liking the connection between Michael Pennick's junior and Drake London.

Uncle Ocho.

Do you think they can be a top tier quarterback wide receiver cardbo deck season?

Yes, you do?

Yeah, I mean the simple size simple size that we got from from Pennix in in London is so small. But only it only has them to grow, you know, obviously right getting getting the off seats together, getting the mini camp together, getting the training camp together, you know, and in a full season, it has the potential to be very very very.

Good because when you when you think about it, O, Joe.

Kirk Cousins took the majority of the reps with Drake London, so they're only going to get better once they get in the many camps and then get the OTA and get the training camp and he's getting the majority of rest of London.

But if if there was.

Any n occasional last couple of games that seemed to be about a budding Combo big Rue, You're unkin Oo from Cleveland, a sad Browns fan. What do y'all think the brown should do? To get back to continue starting with the draft. Uh, would you ever coach in the NFL oacho wide receiver coach? No, I ain't coaching the NFL afluh.

College, high school, junior league?

Me midget excuse me? Huh about flag?

No?

I don't want to be no coaching. No, it was all like it was.

It was all I could take the coach, the celebrities, and they had the basketball. Everybody everybody, everybody want, everybody will will playing time, everybody coach. I'm just getting hot, bro, you just got three turnovers. How you getting hot?

I don't know.

But what you guys, you got to get a quarterback. You're not winning. No team is winning in the NFL without a quarterback. Without consistent quarterback play, it is very, very difficult for you to win in today's time. Look at the team that's currently in the playoffs. What do they all have?

Quarterbacks?

Quarterbacks?

And if I'm not mistaken, Lamar might be the lowest drafted quarterback at thirty two. Jerry Golf was number one overall, jayde Daniels was number two overall, Josh Allen was number seven, Patrick Mahomes was I think ten.

Who else we leave out.

Jayler Hurst was a second round pick and then Matthew Stafford was number one overall.

But you got to have a quarterback.

You gotta get consistent quarterback, consistent quarterback play in order to have a chance to win currently.

In the NFL. Without it, you don't have a chance.

Isaiah Landcapter unkinocho who wins Buffalo Ravens and how do the Ravens slow down? Josh Shallen also what their thoughts from Brandon Jennings calling Tatum the softest Celtic superstar.

I disagree with it? Uh who you got?

Yes? Who he's about?

Who go?

How they gonna stop Dereck Henry? Did you see the first time the Ravens played the Bills? But one of the Bills front line that is undersized, undersized tremendously. If the Steelers, whose identity is defense, and I I would think better suited to stop Dereck Henry couldn't do nothing with him.

The Bill is definitely gonna being be able to do nothing with him. He's gonna run crazy, he gonna run wild. Now you go out there, you stack nine in the box, he stay, you stack eight in boxes? You know what we do?

Then?

Now that's a different story.

Well here's the thing though, O Joe.

But the best way to stop Josh Allen is keep his ass on the bench, off the field. And the Ravens have the type of offense that can do that. When you got a dead Henry and you got a Lamar Jackson, you gotta be able to stop both of those guys.

That Look, I understand, James Cook had a phenomenal year.

Uh. I think he had sixteen seventeen rushing touchdown. He was phenomenal. So was Josh Shallen. But the best running back quarterback duo in the NFL it is it's them too, and it's not close. That's Lamar and Derick Henry and it's not close. Oh Joe, let me let me go back. I made a reference. I was talking about little league football. When I said midgets, I was not talking about little people. I was talking about that's what we used to call

It's so funny. Long time ago, I had a year while I was able to stay with my mama in La. Right, Yeah, I tried it with her one time when I was young and my grandma brought me on back. I played for will She Yellow Jackets. I played the midgets.

That was.

There was no weight class, it was, it was the midgets, right, that's funny. I just just thought about that.

But that's what you know. But you know idea, don't Joe.

You know people are always looking for something to try to Oh, he be in disrespect for the little people as a derogatory term. He knows better, he shouldn't have said this, and then all the groups come out and they try to boycott and do all this stuff. So I just want to clarify I was not talking about individuals. I was talking about the group. That's what they called the league that we played in. Even the little race cars, that's what they call the race cars. It's still called

I disagree with it. That's Brandon Jennings's opinion.

I don't you know, it's.

It's just hard to get upset with somebody where they have an opinion, or you know, Brandon Jennings played in the league and that's his opinion of Jason Tatum. I think the thing is now you don't have they're not required to be what the guys were in the seventies, eighties and nineties, and it's okay, there's a different way. Everybody doesn't have to be and everybody don't have to be scowling, and everybody don't have to try to run

I have a question. So he yes, he says he's soft.

He is he basing that based off his mannerisms or is for his style of play?

Probably his mann rhythm and style of play.

Maybe you know, Oh Joe, you know we grew up, we always thought light skinned guys was soft. Hey, we going at him right? You could not be light skinned and had good hair? Yeah, yeah, we punishing you, bro. We already know you saw you had to prove to us that you weren't. But in today's typopoicisly Oh your youth, your kid, and you think that come you know I coach you? Then still that Yeah you know he's soft? Okay, I believe it too, But I don't think Jason Tatums

Yeah.

The man is a three time first team All NBA player. He's on the championship team. I guess because he didn't win the finals MVP, or he didn't win the Eastern Conference MVP. That makes him soft. So what is nicolea Jokic? He's off of ne All I know is he the three time league MVP and the Finals MVP. That's all I know is he shocked. No, everybody can't gotta be Everybody can't do what Shaq did. Everybody don't got to be cutthrown and try to cut people's head off like Jordan.

At the end of the day, do you get the job done.

Right?

I mean, look, there are many different denths DHL, there's UPS, there's fed X, there's Amazon. All of them delivered your package. Jason Tatum putting the ball in at an elite level. But hey, that's ja. That's a Brandon Jenning's opinion, Betty said, if Josh Allen had Lamar Jackson's stats this year, do you think he would have better unanimous MVP on that team? He got absolutely what's higher than unanimous? Consider oh Joe, considering that he hissed Lamar, he got Lamar stats.

So he got.

Forty one forty two touchdowns, four interceptions, nine hundred yards rushing, and he lost Gave Davis, and he lost Stefan Diggs, and he lost White, and he lost Michael Hyde and he lost for you, and he lost Matt Malone for a large part of the season.

Absolutely damn show yes so and listen, but he don't.

Lamar got those stats, So Lamar go win the MVP, Sir Kay says, what's up, guys in y'all's opinion is justin Herbert afraid of the playoff lights because the regular season game is amazing, but in the playoffs not so much.

Why is that?

I don't think so, guys.

Y'all see Patrick, Mahomes and Brady got y'all spoiled.

Yoh, because y'all think that it's easy.

How soon? How soon did Peyton Manny win a playoff game? His first day they went thirteen and three. His second year, they went thirteen and three. They had the number one. They lost their home, They lost it home, you know, they lost to the Tennessee Titans, and then they were getting beat forty one to nothing.

By the Jets and Chad Pennington.

Yeah, oh that defense was crazy back then.

Boy, that just d No.

That was before they had Reevers. No, I know the defense was. It was good though.

Oh yeah, yeah, bro, everybody's not going to have the success that Brady and that's the thing. Brady and Patrick Mahomes is ruined it for a lot of people. Look at that way, look out long. They took John to win, to win super Bowls. I mean yeah, it took the drive for him to make a name for himself. He goes ninety eight yards, he ties the game. They end up winning an overtime. But guys, it's not easy at all. I mean, Lamar Lamar, first couple of times he didn't

It's not difficult.

It's hard to win in this league. It's hard to win games.

It's doubly hard to win playoff games in this triple quadruper, hard to win super Bowls, and y'all better stop me. It's just like, you know, some people have success, so shoe. It's just like now, people like people think making money is easy, Making money ain't easy. Making money is easy. I mean, you get a job and make money. But the type of money that they're talking about, Oh, I want private jet money. I want Rose Ross and g Wagging money. I ain't even making that kind of money.

Oh, choe at all at all.

Hold on the right, the right way, the right Thank you man, man please.

Brandon hall Day, name of one hundred dollars new subscribing, wanted to let y'all know I love to show them what you guys are doing, but also wanted to make a donation to the chiefs calls. Yes, thank you, Thank you, Brandon. We really appreciate that. Yes, because I think it's a very worthy cause I really do. I love what he's doing. I'd love to see organization helping in the community. And a lot of times I donate anonymously because I like doing that. But I just wanted the Chief to know

Sorry, I late wanted to donate, but had to pull over my semi.
