Was we talked about how technologies like blockchain are shaping their world ours in the decade ahead

for all of us in the digital economy. Only on Humble Nation. You're listening to Comedy centralow now hiring Wisconsin sent It has approved the bill allowing fourteen year olds to work as late as eleven o'clock PM in an effort to help plug the labor shortage. Wrong, that's wrong. The federal child labor law says that under sixteens must stop working at nine pm on non school nights and seven pm on school nights. The state of Wisconsin says,

fuck you, motherfucker. We need somebody here to flip these burgers. Get them goddamn pre puberty. Motherfucker's in the end. Give him an apron of staying at home playing Fortnite all night. Hey makes some money. I'm not a set with it. It's wrong. Okay, what's the age? One more time on me? How are they got to be fourteen? Here's the a good question. Who the funk going to pick up a fourteen year old at eleven o'clock at night from a

damn McDonald's. That's a valid question at the quick baskin Robbins, because my mama wouldn't come scoot me at eight thirty. Neither one of you have fourteen year olds who get on your nerves, and we'll be willing to let them go out of the house for eight extra hours and pick them up with just enough energy less on. All they do is go to sleep. Yes, sign me up. I'm right here. I am the father who will pick up my fourteen year old from McDonald's, Starbucks or anywhere else.

I want to hire her and work her into a tired mess. I'm all four. Hit me offline, follow me on Twitter if you're trying to hire my daughter. Word up now. You the views of Ralph the Third or not those of others were moving to Wisconsin. We're moving to Wisconsin. My neighb is Roy. This is my job there. This is I'm moving my hands like a celestial system of the stars and the i'm I'm my hands represent planets orbit and they're coming into alignment like in the eclips,

like a solar or lunar eclips. The same thing you do when you want you know what I'm saying in the music playing, If you put a glow stick in my hand right now, it would look like I'm on drugs. Just for the people listening. Here's what I'll say though, in regards to that long in Wisconsin, I feel like there are a lot of scenarios where some families would welcome that extra cash. And you know, we talk about

kids not working and not needing to work. You know, I was a child that at fourteen, like the first time I really was like the idea of needing to make money came from supporting my Nintendo tape. At it, I didn't really funk with sneakers, I didn't funk with comic books. But when the new Nintendo tapes came out, I had to have fifty dollars in the simplest way to do that was to go and break leaves ten

dollars for the front team, front and back. And so I would walk around the neighborhood with a with a box of trash bags and a rate, and I would do you straight and if you said no, then I would take the bag of leaves from another house that I dumped. I'd wait until nighttime and not come and dump those leaves and spread them evenly, come back a week later. This is honestly, this is one of those moments where I wish my wife was listening, because she'd be like, you and Roy are the same in person.

Because when I met her, I used to tell her that's how I ended up getting a job at the mall. Because my parents was like, yo, why did our neighbors keep coming back telling us that you're dumping leaves on the lawn. And I didn't want to tell my parents that they denied me. So I ended up getting the job at the mall. I was angry. I wasn't angry. I was I was bright and smart. What the are you talking about that, I said? I was. I racked to her yards. I just made thirty dollars one more yard,

and I got a Nintendo Take No. We all worked those jobs where they got us out of there before nine o'clock, juggling that job in school and trying to have social life. It's not healthy to be in there until eleven o'clock at night. And then you're at that age of fourteen, I don't know what I can say yes or no to. I mean I knew what I could say yes and no too, but fourteen year olds these days, it's too much. And then there was also you know, if I'm gonna be like just slightly serious

for a second. So my father died when I was sixteen, but that last year of his life he wasn't working as much. And then on the other side of his death, it was me and my mom trying to cover a lot of different ship that my daddy's that my daddy sided, you know, money was covering my senior year of high school. I was working thirty hours a week. Now I was. It was bulk on the weekends, but there was two nights a week dog that I was literally working until

ten o'clock on the school night. If it wasn't baseball season, I was out. I was working. And then I would get up in the mornings on Saturday mornings and work at that rehab hospital six thirty two two. I would come home and sleep for two hours and I'll be back out the door for a five to eleven somewhere and still raking the leaves. So in the scenarios where a family needs that, I don't know. Man. I know

we're trying to protect the kids from themselves. But if you're fourteen and you gotta get it, you're gonna figure out a way. But you know what may as well be above the books. My kids just recently realized that there were child labor laws actually, um and I had to explain to them why because they didn't understand. They were like, what do you mean, Like there was a time in this country where if it was between making you work on the farm and help harvest everything on

the farm and sending you to school. Since you made money working on the farm, they didn't send you to school. You just worked on the farm. And if you ended up like I was telling my daughter, like girls used to get married off at twelve and thirteen and started having babies at fourteen because there was this money and

all that kind of stuff. So you know, now now I kind of look at it like most of the kids, and Mike, I have good kids, for the record, don't cut that out, Lawrence, And they need to hear that I have wonderful children. I I love both of my children. I do, but they but they also don't necessarily understand like you, like, really you had a reason at at four,

at fifteen, fourteen to work. My reason was always because, which sounds way bad when I think about it now, but my reason for wanting to work when I was a kids because my mom would not buy me designer clothes. Point blank. My mom was like, if you're gonna get if I'm gonna buy it, we're going to Mount gunnerywards and you're gonna wear these reversible short and and be happy with it. And I was like, you can't keep

doing this to me. So eventually I got a job basically so I could clothe myself and not go to school wearing a bunch of bobo ship And um, that's where it started, because that's what it was. I get it, J G. I get what you're saying. But it's like they go, oh, well, kids shouldn't work. And the thing

that my mom asked me. The first job I had with a tax return was basking Robbins Western Hills and Mall when I was fifteen, And before I went in the store, my mom looked me dead in the eyes and she said, are you sure you want to do this? Because you will never stop doing this again until your seven. You have the option to not work, and I just wanted to work. And when I look back on that time and reflection, I don't know what I would have done other than just sit around and dream about money.

Like I don't know. Like like I think number one, I think kids should work because I think it establishes some level of decency and responsibility and sense of duty. So you need that structure. But you also shouldn't be forced to work for the hours because that part of it isn't necessary. You know, there's a lot of fast foodspots they're gonna take advantage of this. Also, if you got a bunch of fourteen year olds working at fast food spots, they're gonna be sucking up everybody's order and

the crib is gonna be done wrong. They're dumb. You're fourteen. You're dumb. You don't know how to put the burger together the right way. Respect fourteen year olds. The fourteen year olds cannot mess with the middle age Latino folks who be holding down McDonald's and ship. They cannot fold the burgers at the same speed. Then cast is hardcore bro and you know what they're doing, and they take

pride to teenager. I would break somebody's yard, take them leaves and sprinkle them in another person's yard so that person would hire me the next day. I did not care so wrong, that's market. That is not who you want making your hamburgers. I agree with that part. Though I do agree with that part. That's the bigger issue is that you're employing fourteen year olds in jobs. If they don't care about give them something simple. Put them out in that heat and the construction zone with that

stop slow stick that you flip. That's even worse. Put

the freeways wavement machine with that heat system up. That's what I won't let that fourteen year old drive the pavement machine again, Jacqueline, Jacqueline, you keep saying no, But I'm gonna solve your problem because next summer you're about to have your very own fifteen year old for three months us and then after you had that fifteen year old mine for three months, you're gonna be like, you know what, we need to make all these children work

the hardest thing we can possibly do. She didn't even put her phone down when she swept your float, Like I'm trying to tell you to come home. Trust me. Yeah, you're gonna call first. You don't know my daughter. She's gonna work. You can't. We got guests on the line. So we're gonna do this one real fast. Let's get real quick, real quick, real quick, really quick. Cody's don't stout standing employee of the week. So j G. Did

you know that I don't like saying his name? Oh forty five as we like to call them, and we don't, we don't. We don't do politics on this show that has always been the mandate.

Jackelin posted a picture of a big taking a shift on his own scroll them. That is specific, That is so specific,

That is because so specific. I just we don't have time to really and I don't think we want to take the time to dig deep into this. I just want to say to the hackers out there, to the trolls out there, shutting down, shutting it down real fast, all of y'all, Cody's most outstanding and of the week,

I went to Lanier, but I was zoned for j D, so I went to Lanier. I was in Lamb. I was sitting. Yeah, I was posted at lamp and Seapack. That's where both of us we went through the trenches. I'm trying to tell you it was. It was. I don't know how it is now, but it's a little rough back in the day, Like we had a couple of we will be in the

middle of practice, and I was a cheerleader. We'd be in the middle of practicing out in that big front. We had a big you in front of our school, and you know, people would drive buying the cars because the band will be practicing and we Chili's were practicing and they just start shooting. So we don't have to like either lay down the shooting at who who in the band is in the in the game? I don't know, I don't know. We had a phenomenal band, by the way,

the Marching Poets from Sydney Lanier. Your high school mascot was a poet Marching Poets. Hang on what kind of gangster as places are y'all living in? Where they shot at the damn band? Like I dot eve to know that like forwards shooting, it builds character builds. But that's not what we're here to. Wait one more thing, though, did you go to bald One? I went to bald did Look at this is bald One. It was our

junior high Junior high. I danced at ball When you know what, I gotta go look my yearbook out Andrew. This is what it's like being a husband when this kind of ship happened. Alright, we called. I'm not even interrupted. I'm just letting you. I'm just letting what they bond on. Right's letting them bond. And we're so proud of you. We're in the Alabama Club in full six of us. Yeah it was not a very big club, but we

were at Alabama Club. The story that I tell about Andrew just on campus, it's just that you know people. It's when you see people like Okay, so like when you look at like your podcast Real Talk with Andrew Gillham, right, and you get on there and you talk a little bit about what's going on. You add perspective to the story. You give a little bit of your opinion. But it's not just an opinion. But here's what I think. It's here's other things you may not have considered. Let's unpack

that as well. Right, you were that dude in college, So, Jacqueline, I was at Florida and during the time when the al gore the stolen election of two thousands, yea, the dangling Chad Jeff Bush was governor and we were marching on the capitol or whatever, and so Andrew at the time was in student government and you know, on the day of the March of the Capitol, Famiues s g A was walking around campus like just grabbing mother, come on marching and I'm like, I don't know, but you're

not like you Ralph. You know you don't be marching. And then you see a wave of black people margin you don't want to not be minch. We don't know, you can't. Just like when we run in the same direction, it looks right, right, it looks right. I don't know where we're going, but let's go, man, we we I can already tell off the top because we didn't wasted so much time up front. We don't have to keep you all around for Scam of the week too. But let's let's get into Worstan first. J we'll just talk

to you first for right now. But before you were this wonderful woman who cared about the people in the community and the black Take me back to that first apron or the smock or whatever you have to wear back in the day and give us that job that just when you passed about the building, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and you go never again. Well, I'll tell you. I don't know if this is the worst store first or both. But this

was as soon as I graduated from FAM. I was a biology major and the intent was to go to Demal School. But I did a little too much focused on Delta N s g A, and I wasn't quite as focused as I needed. I needed a little more time, and I had no idea what I was gonna do after graduation. So um, there was a gentleman who had come to campus to help us with an s J event where we had a speaker series, and I was in charge of like escorting him around. And he was like,

you are so impressive. What are you doing after graduation? And mind you, this is like March or February and we graduating in April. And I was like, I have no idea. So he hired me. Right, he was a financial advisor in Dallas, Texas, but he also had an office in Detroit, so he hired me. Um, this is not one of those and you'll know what I'm talking about, Roy, It's not one of those SBI jobs where they were giving people signing bonuses and relocations that. No, this was

you show up in Dallas on this day. However, you get here, good luck. So you know, my daddy helped me hook to the back of my Saturn and we drove from Florida to Texas. Got me set up with an apartment, and I have this job, and it wasn't quite what I thought it was gonna be. He had me in charge of like client services. I was supposed to just come up with ways to while the clients right. So it's easy at first, Hey, we don't recognize birthdays,

we don't recognize the anniversaries. Let's just do some touch quests. But quickly I got bored because it wasn't what I thought it was gonna be. He also was not physically in that office. He has said he spent two weeks in Dallas and two weeks in Detroit. He was only in Dallas a couple of days. There were a lot of other remote employees, but in the office was me and another young lady who was about my age, but she was still in college. Very responsible, but the two

of us left our own devices. We would sometimes get off track, so eight months in he flies in town to meet with us. I probably have maybe worked in the office with him, maybe ten times total. After these eight months and he, you know, sits me down. He's like, this is not really working out. And I was kind of surprised, but I wasn't I've never been fired before. Oh I know, you never just just go with it. So he slides these papers to me and was like,

I'm gonna have to let you go. You need to sign this, and I was like, I'm not signing anything. My mama taught me, don't you sign nothing, right. But essentially I was being let go because it wasn't working out. So he did. I mean, it was a good package. She gave me severance whatever, but I was in Texas eight months. I don't have been working there. No, no, no, severance was like a couple of weeks. It was country eight months. Listen, this job, this job, this job. I

don't have enough time tell you about this job. So one of the reasons I was being let go is because we had a toll free phone number right for clients. I fancy myself a bright, young lady. But what I didn't realize is that by giving my friends and family members is toll free phone number and tell them they can call me anytime they want you because at this time there were any time everywhere, right, So you had

to pay long distance. So my cell phone was like an eight five old and it was long distance if I was calling it down. So he shows me all these phone bills for all these months either minute, all these calls, and the young man that I was dating at the time, which isn't the young man I'm sitting next to you right now. And I used to talk on the phone like every day for a very long time.

So the problem he I was young and didn't have any guidance or leadership, and he basically was like, I'm gonna give you this a little bit of severance, and you need to be glad I'm not charging you to pay me back for all this money. You bent and crossed me on this toe free line. So I left, and I couldn't quite move back home yet because I have any money and I had to finish my please.

So I started work contempt jobs. The first temp job I had was at a hospital something Presbyterian in Dallas, and I was the one that came around to the room with the cart and the computer to do the first certificates when somebody had a baby. And we are under very strict instructions, not to respond, not to give suggestions, not to make faces. So if somebody is like, I'm gonna name my baby Anthrony and they start spelling it, you do not correct them. Now I'm just using that

as an example. You cannot correct them. You cannot say, oh, did you mean to say Anthony instead? You can't do any of that. And even if they ask your opinions. So I'm gonna book and you just got not in good conscience look at those sweet little baby faces and let them be named. Terrible thing. My gosh. So I was not asked back after a week. You couldn't take it for a week, you know. But it was through a Tempa agency. So I got reassigned, got a great gig for a couple of months until I got a

better job and I moved to Atlanta. I stayed there for a year. Then I came back to Lassie for grad school and the rest is history. I got my act together. So that was my worst slash first. Well, wasn't the worst employers that appears. It sounds like y'all got some ship to discuss. At the end of this podcast. As a couple, we can come Oh my goodness, I had versions to this. I never I know candy strip strip stripers. See, this is the other thing that happens

when you marry. You talk and the spouse don't hear what you're saying. Ain't here what they wanted? Okay. The podcast is Real Talk with Andrew Gillham. It's every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. They talk about everything happening around the world of cable news and politics is his unfiltered opinions and once a week what you've just heard between these two, Yeah,

it's what you get. It's what you get when you listen to Real Talk with Andrew Gillim R J comes on the show once a week and I assume that y'all are just what I could tell. Working through a lot of stuff that I don't know. I don't like j G. I feel like I shouldn't be listening to them. Don't each other right now that you know what that was the idea. In fact, I don't even know what we're talking about. My producer doesn't share. They keep it between them, and then we come on. I'm like, okay,

so what's up. What are we doing today? We're talking about what you did last week? You know, Hey, you know what, Andrew, you get propped with me, man, because I'm gonna tell you, I'm married to a very strong woman as well. And there's no way in hell that I would do a podcast with my wife on a weekly baby, no way. And I'm watching you do stuff and I know that husband cringe.

behind because I was out of town. Oh did I was fine? We did not came out. Never. He never came forward. The dude never came forward. I was I was caught up in that storyline. It was like podcast. My homeboy said, there's got to be a thread between her selling to do trying to set by the panties from her and somebody said her the flowers. That's what the hoomie said. He's got to be a thread. Y'all just ain't connecting it yet. But it break. We gotta go to a break, y'all. Just might have to say

The podcast is Real Talk with Andrew Gillum. R J pops in on one of the three episodes that they air every week.

Now we talk about career pivots and how people you know, you can do one thing that you think you're supposed to be doing, and then one day God talks to you, you do some Trump whatever something getting your head and you do a one eight. And there have been droves of people on both sides of the aisle. And this isn't even talking about the random spend all of Trump that have been out there. But there are a lot of people who now want to make a difference. They'll

be active in their communities. It's a lot of first time as young and over forty running for office. I just met a young woman. I was back home in Birmingham for the Magic City Classic, and this is a woman who used to be kind of a party promoter and do kind of some smaller stuff and she told me to my face, she said Roy and um, I'm running for judge like she's coming for like. And so it's so dope to see these people being active and going out there and trying to be the change in

their communities. Just as quick as you can or as long as you want to. Man, what are the best practices for someone that hasn't been in politics who's trying to tiptoe into that even if like like Corey Bush is a great example over in Missouri you look at ums pressly aoc uh you got yeah, Stephen read, Steve

read Montgomery, any chance to shout out morehouse niggause y'all ahead? Continue, but in that world of politics, because this is the part of the show where we really get into employment and things that you can do to better yourself and seek out that stuff. And I know that for the people who are civic minded, what are some of the best practices, Like should you spend a year or two building your connections and learning the community and the people.

The advice I would give as it relates to trying to enter in the public service one do it authentically. You know they're they're people like to make politics so much more complicated than what it really is. Politics translated is simply the study of people, your person. You interact with people every single day. You either have a care

for them or you don't. You either have you know, um, a love of where you live and think that everything is perfect and you want to preserve its perfection, or you see where the fault lines are and where the change can be made, and then you step in and you want to make that difference. So my first piece of advices do it authentically. I used to run a

candidate training program. I founded one and helped a national program, and we would have these candidates come through, you know, people who thought they wanted to one day be candidates, and after experiencing them for one week of an initial training, I say, I would definitely not like to see you in public service. From that standpoint, I understand you like the transaction, but there are a lot of ways to be part of a transaction. Lobbying is a way to

be part of a transaction. Public service from the standpoint of an elected official, should be just that. It should be a service to the public, and you ought to come by it in my opinion honestly. And I know politicians get a bad rap because we only hear about the bad stuff, But there are a lot of people, far more people who get into that line of work with sincere and honest commitment to make where they live and what they of better. And then there are people

who get into it for alternative reasons. And there are also people get it to it for good reasons who over their time and service, get exposed to so much bad that the lines start to be blurred between what is right and wrong. It isn't so black and white for people anymore. So your moral compass is very important. Ways to get involved this volunteer the thing you want

to change before you ever run for elected officer. To change it, maybe you ought to try changing as as an individual with a community and other people who are concerned, Um, and then determining whether or not that's their calling or not. And then I think I would say, lastly, Um, Roy and fam is that you don't necessarily have to be in public service from the standpoint of an elected official only.

There are a lot of ways to be in the system a public civil servant, going and working for the local government, applying for a job at parks and rec and one day working your early way up to become the director of parks and recreation. You know, if that's what you choose, so there are you know, there are a lot of avenues in It isn't as complicated as

people like to make it. The reason we often say it's complicated is to either excuse ourselves out of having to do the hard work or to make sure that you come to believe that the barriers are so high for entry that you never ever ever step up to challenge me one day for the office that I desired. You understand the first rule of politics and self preservation. So most people, despite it, how good they may be, they don't want competition. Uh. So they figure out ways

to keep you from being able to compete. But cream always rises, uh. And I think people who are made of good stuff, in good stock, um, find their way into the process and they and they last, and those that aren't, you know, you see fall by the wayside. You know, man, I was a big fan of you before I've ever had the chance to sit down and meet you tonight. I grew up in a d C.

Area where government ship is all I know. UM, But listening to you speak, man, I think I've become a bigger fan of you, um and what you're in and what you're doing, because it's it's clearly a sincerity there. And I grew up in an area where people ain't that damn sincere. They're telling me you didn't running all because they know it's money involved. Um, it's good. But to see somebody who still has that that that that moral bates man. You know, I respect that way more. Uma.

I gotta tell you, our kids are crying up top, and I keep thinking like, oh my god, this fund is gonna pick up all of the their voices. They're screaming on top. Oh no, man, no, you gotta do what I do. Just put them off in one room and close the door. Nobody can't hear that ship. The mics are awesome. Now we put them in one room. Yeah, I understand. I understand so well. I was just gonna say,

there's a flip side to that coin. And I want to present this point to our j We all know, and Paulo Sex, there are no permanent brands, there are no permanent enemies. There's only permanent self interesting. But but at your house, you keep it real and you keep it on straight narrow. How do you do that support knowing that it's so venomous out there. I think it's

just what you said after um. Andrew and I knew each other in college, but when we dated and got married, he was at least a local elected officials, So even then I could see how different his world was. Even you know, in a place like Tawahassee, that's not a big city. I see the difference. I see how people treat you sometimes sincerely, you know, very um, admirable, admirably excuse me, um of this young man, you know, youngest ever elected to office in Tallahassee. Some people for what

you can do for them. Uh, some coming out of the woodwork to attack. When you're like, what what was that about? There was no there was no reason to attack there, um, But also realizing it's you just said Ralph Andrew's sincerity and authenticity for what he does. It goes way back. It's like said, it goes back to our days at family. Can trick you can trick you in the walking and you weren't playing to what I might not be able to keep you because subway you

an't say nothing by marching back. You just said marching there. How any stories that we were in s GA together and we actually bumped heads a lot and didn't see how the eye. But I could never say that he didn't have the right intentions, even though I didn't necessarily agree with the way he wanted to get things done. Much more conservative she thought we should not be marching. I'm one of those that's like, let's going when we get there, though, have a meeting, like, how long are

we gonna be there? You know, why did you make the decisions for when we are going to leave you? When are we gonna make the decisions? And then what if we leave and we haven't gotten I didn't want to know what wanted me to march. We're spending the night in the nobody got sleeping bags or toothbrushes. What is the end? Bain? What I wanted to do with was the game right now, which is we are piste off and there are consequences. So I'm gonna get back

to it. Andrew, I can't wait to meet you in real life because when she's gonna happen, is we're gonna mean, our wives are gonna me and then both of us are going to be because the outside world is so tough. You know, you gotta have skin like alligators. What we used to say, you know, he used to tell me all the time, don't read the comments. And I'm meaning that literally and figuratively. People that have something bad to

say online are off. Don't read the comments. And it was important for us, especially when Andrew was running for governor, that our home remained our home. It was our state space. Um So that he could physically feel the energy being different when he walked in the door. Luckily were little. We wanted to keep it safe for them, like our home is our home and none of that outside stuff gets in here. You know. I hate, I hate to make the comparison, and I'm sure y'all both heard before,

but y'all very much remind me of Barry Michelle. Uh simply because no real talk. You know, people can say that they wanted to, but for the eight years that dude was in d C, you did not know jack ship that was going on in that house. There was no way to know it. They kept that whole thing together super tight. They really don't know a lot. Now. That's why I like whenever you see one of the daughters at a concert smoking and kissing somebody, that's all

you got on them, joint less. That is admirable that both of them, though you could always tell but president first, lady or not, their family came first always, and it's always evident with the two of you. So that's why I question to make sure people understood that you need that level of support and understanding because no one is perfect. No one is perfect, and it is an unreasonable standard

to keep ourselves. I always you know, I will tell you for everything we have been through, what I've personally been through the now, you know, being in recovery, you know from alcohol and um, you know, being in therapy. For the first time in my life, it's become very very clear to me that most of what people have to say to you and about you is reflective of their own trauma and they their own thing, their own again. So instead of having to deal with this stuff, they

projected everything onto you. And you're like, you don't know me to be that passionate about how you feel about me, You clearly are representing how you feel about something else going on in your life. You ought to get to that. And I don't mean that in a in a reductionist way. Is it to say that if we all spent more time on working on our best sells, what is in

our pleasure? I mean I loved this saying Jay says often um, and it really resonates with the first thing you need to know about me is that I'm not you, and the rest will make sense Like I'm telling you that right there, but it's it's really really true. So I just I hate that I learned so much later in life about coming into my own happiness, joy and pleasure. So much time was spent outwardly about Okay, how do

we make this better for all of us? And then maybe it heals a part of me internally and it maybe it worked the way God wanted it to. But in reverse, I would have loved to have done the me work. But the truth is that we're all on the me work for the rest of our lives.

But since there native Floridians, you know, it's it's nice to just kick back in do it for Florida this week and to help us give you some Florida stories to break the ice. As always, this gentleman, he is a pleasure to bring on this program, walks around bear Foot so we can be in tune with the earth field, the Chakras, or

whatever the funk that ship is. And if you're ever in Central Tennessee or somewhere up and down the corridor, ladies, if you go outside and put an empty bottle of Southern Comfort up a flagpole. E Willip his MoMA named the Narado. We call him Rod for short. Rod. Welcome, what's going I appreciate you. Let getting the word out about my bad signal real quick, Rod, before we get into breaking the ice. What say you to fourteen year olds?

The state of Wisconsin is rumored to be lowering the child of labor law age to fourteen and allowing employers to let fourteen year olds work as late as eleven o'clock PM. That is outrageous. This is a perfect example of them just trying to let you know they're doing this in the face of adults not putting up with their bullshit anymore. So this is a clear cut example of them, like, who can we take advantage of? Now?

How about fourteen year olds? Like when we went through this before fucking reconstruction after the Civil War, We're supposed to be done with child labor lawshit, like yeah, remember backing the dative kids like thirteen working in the rail yard and coming home on their hands. But my counter to this still ride. My counter to this, though, is that in the homes where fourteen year old has decided that this is yo, I need to work, I need

to they have chosen to make money. Are we taking are we saying that fourteen years are too stupid to realize that not dog, you just need to stay at the house and kick it. When there's some households that need that look extra couple, that's not that's not supposed to be a child's place. I think that goes that that speaks more to a problem with the fact that you have to get a license to have a car, but as long as you can fun, you can have

a baby. We need to we need to do something about the requirements for being a parent, because a fourteen year old should not need to work to help make ends meet. That's not that's not here's a heart problem. That's not the child's problem. That's their parents problem. Again, I'm in a total agreement with you not to put a fourteen year old out there. That's a social economic issue.

It's a whole big problem. But I just don't see for it's outrageous like like people are like you kind of get three more dollars hour, Like how about you bring your underage child in here and let them state almost midnight, like because that's that's a horrible negotiating day. Don't know how to end themselves. They don't know what to say yes to. They don't know what they know to. They're not ready for that. Man. That's the bigger issue.

The bigger issues that you're dropping fourteen year olds into an environment that's very hospital I don't know if you're seeing these fast food spots, but you got to have hands and grown in coming over the counter fighting over dam bacon there. If you ain't got hands exactly, we got concealed and cared and ft also because uh yeah, it's rough out here right now. All right, right, let's get to people some ship to break the ice. Which one is this? Let's let's keep it Florida. Man, we

got guests from Florida, white people. What do you want to be talking to your black coworkers about if we're keeping it Florida is rapper Kodak Black recently and put out a video where he defended his actions at a party recently. He was dancing with his mom and kissing her in the mouth and gripping on her, ask like she was a scripper. His mama, Yeah, this was this was Tom Brady kissing his two year old son on

the mouth. To the teer. A lot of people naturally had a big problem with what was going on in the video. How did how did he? How did he touch your hands? Been drunk at the club with a girl you knew you was gonna fun that night. No like that. He was gripping and smacking over and over and attempting to kiss. Heard about it was very uncomfortable. Can find us a statement on this real quickly and then make it any said something about it. Kote Black says, I love the ship out of my mama. We've been

through a lot of ship. My mama was my mama and my daddy bro. My dadd had left the nigga when we was young. My mama dog was broken ship. My mama stood up. They could be in the streets every day, she could lose them. So what I see my mama, I adore her, kiss her feet home. What you're talking about? And it's like funk up thinking. Boy. Some of you think is don't even holler at your mama. Some of you thinks don't even call your mama homie. Some of you niggers don't spend time with your mama homie.

But at the same time, it's so some ship like how you expect to love a bit if you don't love your old girl. So nigga, that's my old girl. What the fuck she ain't tripping, then I don't give a funk what you're talking about in quote. But then he gripped his mama's ass like it was like it was about to run away. Like he didn't grab his mama like you would just come here, mama. He grabbed her ass like it was about to drop from her.

Like I'm almost like Jacqueline now when we talk about like weird like dead body stuff like this is this is uncomfortable. He trying to kiss his mama with a Newport in his hand. I ain't even making this up like that boy got a full blown Newport in his hand. It's like, don't make it no better talking about that you adore her and kiss her feeded you made a love of woman properly unless you love your mom's the

right way. And it's just like, yeah, I ain't about to drive a finger my mom's in order to learn how to be with those girls. That. I get his theory, like you know, if you can't love your mama, then you can't love another woman in theory in all the nice wings, I get that, But in the video, your right here, like just for a second or two, he was really plain. But then I guess something else kind of got into him. But he was playing in the beginning.

I don't know. All right, let's flip it up, Ran, Let's flipp people what you want to be talking to white people about. As it relates to Florida's two of their favorite things, dogs and guns. Recently had a woman who breached dogs in West Park, Florida, had three teenagers come over into the house where she keeps the dogs, checking out a couple of puppies. Worth reported four thousand dollars of peace. And that's when the kids decided that's

a little bit out of their price range. They were more drinking the free ninety nine, and they pistols and took off with the puppies. And this woman kicked out of her front door with her old semi automatic and started bucking back, and they got into a full behold shootout in front of her house over those dogs. Yeah, it's not dogs, it's money. That's a livestock, that's bread. They basically took twelve thousand dollars. Don't think she looks.

They arrested two of the kids, but they haven't recovered the dogs yet, but she's not facing any charges because she was defending her home. That sand the ground in a in a tier sense, I would think somebody trying to steal ground from you, you're allowed to shoot at

them from the court was not concerned with him. I guess that at the point where it's like, you know, these people could have killed me and I wouldn't be here to enjoy the twelve from those puffies, or they gotta get away forever with these two, with these dogs, and so I'd never go get them back anyway. Fuck it, if the damn these dogs you just have done in my face in my house, I'm gonna funk about the dogs no more. Everybody got to go. I have a

question anything. It's such a sidebar. So Rod just went to a wedding and he was in the wedding and I asked him a question about that wedding, and he didn't answer it. So I'm gonna ask you now in front of everyone, did you sleep with one of those girls at this wedding? Uh America saying I did not sexual relations with those bridesmaids. I've been celibate since two

thousand nine. Come on, man, top of the year. We're gonna work on that Rod's relationship fair like we like we gotta have something just random people called asking Rode fast Ship I'm all for. In the meantime, his podcast is Uncle Rod's Story Corner and get that wherever you can. Um right, as always, thank you, good sir. I appreciate your represent for Florida. We're just trying to do something special for I guess a good deal man. Let's up

love you Florida scam of the week time. Thank you as always, Rod giving us some Florida stories, break the high school coworkers and race. We've been keeping the Florida this whole show. Uh alright, alright, alright, whatever. Look when you get all d m V, when guests come on here from the DMV, do I interrupt you all bonding? I was not disrespecting, I said, alright, alright, alright, I'm stepping away. I know what that means, volume, volume, a little,

a deep voice. I'm sorry aggressive. I'm a Jersey women and I got a deep voice. I'm a little you understand there you got, but I'm in no but I'm in no disrespect at The podcast is three days a week it's called Real Talk with Andrew Gillum. He's joined with us with his wife r J. The Scam of the Week is where this is the part of the show. We reserve to just discuss anything you've seen shady done on any job, anything from back in the day, in your early days, pretty family, you even you know, if

it's the working at the Wendy's. At a buddy that worked at Wendy's in tallahass and the code was when he was working to drive through order a junior bacon mustard only, and he knew that was the code to pack the bag. And he would bring you up for a junior bacon mustard only and you would leave with three bags. And you know Wendy's, that's the heavy burgers, that's the weighty Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you've gotta you've

got a two hand the Wendy's bag. Did the bag he gives you from Wendy's you had the two hand, that bitch going back into the dorm. I means you to my heart, briefly I did. I did Windy's for a week and it didn't work out. I wasn't fired. I actually removed myself. Uh yeah, well you know that this isn't gonna work out for us. This wasn't what I thought. Did you walk off? Just no calling a show? Did you? Like? I told the guy I had enough respect.

I mean, yeah, such a dignified man. When I went to I went to work for a hardware store in this particular city, and I realized it's a very good white lady who had it who hired me, and she was married to, you know, uh, a good white guy. And and about week two on the job, I realized that the manager who was over the wood section, who was this black dude, and the good white lady who hired me were in a situation that I ran up on and uh, just back there, ran up on it.

Then my duties really kind of changed. I wasn't as responsible for stocking the nails, because the nails were the worst, y'all. I had no idea there was so many variety of nails um that you could buy. And when people came and asked me where certain things were store, you know, I just kind of make it up and uh, or get out of dodge like I'm sorry, that's not my section, you know, if you whatever. But I really was supposed to know where things were in the story and that

kind of thing. But that lasted a good year and a half where I got paid and you didn't have to do any work because you had you know, stuff started to become revealed and I had to get out of there. So but that was about good into my senior year. You're respectable, brother. So, like, this is a question that I don't even know if you want to answer, but I got a push on this one after you called them in the act. Did they keep going after you? Oh yeah, yes, yeah Florida, Yeah yeah yeah. And it

wasn't just one time that I observed it. I wasn't what just because it's dangerous sex at work? Where come on? Fuck me right now on top of the lumber? Yeah? Like is that type of the man? Was an expert? At would she? She just worked out that way? So I guess I was actually part of the scandal because I leveraged knowing. I didn't ever, of course threatened. I've never gotten that. You never black, No, you ain't part of it. Part of it a bit of an understanding.

M The podcast is Real Talk with Andrew Gillim Monday. That might be the best closure we've ever had. Right was Wednesdays.
