Raise Your Hand | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #281

now remember when I was young they had. we played basketball on a select group. in the in a really budget basketball. team and after practice sometime the. coach would drive us home you know - if. you had if the pay if your mom had a. little bit of money or she had maybe a. Toyota Camry or maybe a arm you know a.

van or something like that something. nice your mother come get you scoop you. up from the practice but the remainder. of us children would our coach would. give us a ride home so you hop in a. coach's truck or you hopping the coaches. oh he had a van but an arm ladder on the. back you know and it didn't go anywhere. but you know it's nice it is kind of you.

know it was nice to have and anyway. you know you get to know the coach well. when he drives you home from practice. and sometimes he would take us to do. stuff you know he would take us to help. him do some work for him giving us those. rides so one weekend he he drove us out. into the country somewhere - we were. helping him move something unloading. things into a truck or something it was.

me and this young fella. boo-boo Tyson and this was a black. gentleman and his name was boo-boo Tyson. and and his brother had tried to burn. his legs off but he he didn't he still. had his legs he didn't you know he it. didn't happen you know and he had one. leg that was a little hot you know but. he was he was fine and he was a friend. of mine and we're driving along this.

road one time and on a highway me and. him in the back of the truck and. maybe they had a you know a lawnmower. back there or a little. canteen of diesel or something you know. maybe a jug of sipping water or. something back there with it and we. drove probably in the back of this. little truck this little Japanese truck. maybe a Korean truck locate truck. Daihatsu or something or you know shout.

Sue's or something you know what I'm. talking about. a little truck and and we've been going. along the highway and you know and. boo-boos are looking at me and he's. looking at me and he just starts kind of.

just really looking at me kind of funny. and at one point the highway came to a. stop sign or intersection with another. highway and so coach was driving and. we're sitting in the back of the in the. open cab and he said to me he said hey. he said hey do what's it like to have. your hair blow in the wind and I'd never.

thought about that you know because he. had a high tight fade cut and and I'd. never thought about that man and I said. man what's it like to have your penis. blow in the wind and and we died. laughing man the two of us just died. laughing and and man it was.

I threw about maybe nine pieces and. bacon in there and I left I went and. drove around for a couple hours I wanted. to see if the thing worked and I come. back. and uh and it just hadn't really it had. done a little bit at the bottom so then. I realized damn I need one slice at a.

time in this little bastard it was just. like a dam he would like the pot on it. was so small it was like somebody it was. like one person's kind of medium hand in. a cup like cupped up like they trying to. sip water to you know give a little. water to a dog or something with their. hand make a make a shape like a little. baby like half a banana with their hand. and give a dog that moisture but anyway.

brother's spirit I thought it was. it was really touching man it was real. real touching what else is going on not. not you know everything really or. nothing or you know we're back in. business. it seemed like they got some restaurants. open and you know they've you know this. whole this past weekend was a lot of you. know a lot of unrest in the media in the.

news and and we had a lot of voicemails. about it and I want to talk about some. of it and and and you know I want to say. if you if you come to this podcast and. you you know if you were you know this. isn't like a controversial type of place. here. you know if you come here listening to. you know oh what Theo is gonna say.

something wrong or we're gonna catch. this is that you know it's a type of. environment where people are you know. you know where I'm gonna prove to him my. point or something like that man yeah. I'm not I I don't have any answers I. don't have any answers you know and um. and I don't know how people can a. hundred percent have an answer you know.

because the time is really time is kind. of a long question. so if you you know but I'm just saying. if you you know and I look there's a lot. of great people in here and just I don't. know I've just gotten a lot of social. media comments and stuff this past. weekend and if you I don't know if you.

come in here to say oh I know better. than you or you don't know or this that. you've already won. I'm not trying to be right you know I'm. trying to be alive I'm trying I'm trying. to stay in contact with with life I. think and stay in contact with just the. long question that is life you know and.

American on Native American you know you. could be whatever you want you could be. tired you could be menthol anything you. could be somebody who welded their legs. together on accident and shop and now. has to play a mermaid every year you. know in a local play everybody's welcome. here man you know I just want to let you. know that you could be anything you know.

Spanish Mexican Latino latina you know. latina latina v dad you know that female. Christmas baby you could be anything and. you welcome here man you know that but. yeah a lot going on out there and uh and. so yeah thank you guys for showing up a. lot of people had calls that came in. about it. and so I want to get to some of it get.

to some of those calls man and just kind. of talk about what people are talking. about a little hear of people's points. of views and what's my experience been. like this past weekend you know I had a. rough instance we um you know the rat. Ken came to visit because obviously you. know your boy Tom sug. your boy Tom sugar night over there is. uh he wanted some and so he got some you.

know because that's how it is sometimes. if you want some then you get some you. know knock knock who's there some. because that's what she's bouts to get. and and I'm on Twitter the other day and. and I didn't know how bad I mean I I. mean Twitter is just a it's obviously a.

real cess hole and you know I see Drew. Brees in there cuz I follow all saints. stuff and so Drew Brees comes up in my. feet and so us I'll click on the video. and I'm doing something and next thing. you know I hear Brees talking about how. he supports the American flag so I share. it you know I retweet it put some strong. arms with it and just retweet it well. you know we're doing work about an hour. later I get a text from Brendan Schaub.

you know or baskin-robbins whatever. people call them different nicknames and. he says hey man people are upset about. your tweet and so I look at it and and I. didn't realize that that drew brees had. been talking about people's reaction to. Colin Kaepernick Nealon you know I I. didn't watch the question from the guy. in the beginning from Yahoo which I.

don't I do not like I used to work for. Yahoo but I don't like their website man. I think it's a bunch of garbage but. but anyway next thing I know I look on. there and it's like oh man people people. that I know are just dragging me through. the mud just dragging me through the mud. man and um and it was just kind of crazy. you know and so I just took my tweet. down you know I didn't feel like dealing.

with I didn't feel like dealing with it. you know I watch the video fully that. drew brees head up and I thought man he. he could have expressed himself. differently who knows if he heard the. question fully he's over you know the. things over Skype or zoom you know I. don't know he you know he could have. probably expressed his answer. differently but people were ripping him. a new head and I had no idea you know.

I'm a Saints fan I see Drew Brees he's. talking about supporting the flag and so. I share um you know that's where I'm at. that's where I'm at with it I didn't. know I didn't know it was in correlation. to Colin Kaepernick etc anyway so next. thing you know there's just so much. hateful stuff people that I know just. ripping me up and so I just realize man. I'm some of this social social media. stuff is just it's too much you know.

it's not a place where you can converse. I thought about saying oh you know I'm a. Saints fan and you know I just saw the. part where he said that he's excited you. know that he respects the flag and why. he likes and why he supports it but. people don't want there's no there's no. discussion on Twitter and there's really. probably it's really tough to discuss. anything anywhere on social media. there's really not a lot of discussion. there's not a lot of conversation you.

know I had another rough experience this. week everybody's posting black squares. and this was and people say well you. could stand you know you can fight for. yourself in this and that oh I'm not. gonna I just don't want to spend all day. doing that you know I don't want to. in a place where I can't just where. there's no conversation you know I grew.

up my whole childhood not knowing how to. express myself or when I could or what. you know when it was okay to talk you. know or have feelings about something or. how to express them and I'm still not. great at it and but to be in a vacuum. where you can't even raise your hand. that's what it feels like it feels like. you're like Twitter feels like a place. you can't even raise your hanging so.

anyway so then the same thing a similar. thing kind of happened with the black. square people put up the black square. and and I put up the black square and I. felt you know I support black lives. matter I support any lives matter I. support everybody's life you know I I. felt bad because it became this thing. where everybody's doing it you know when.

I started looking at people that I. admire Sutter people that I admire doing. this do I need to do this is this a real. thing I don't know you know I don't know. I don't know what to do and I probably. should have just done nothing because I. don't like to be forced to you know I. like to be unique you know I was trying. to think of a way how can I support my. black friends and support black.

community and support the fight the fact. that I don't think that anybody should. struggle at the hands of police. brutality and I realized that that's. what I didn't like about the black. square is that it didn't give me a. chance to be unique it didn't give me a. chance to be you know kind of find a. unique way to express myself and then I. got messages from people from people of.

color I don't know if that's the right. term telling me that I'd done it wrong. that I didn't do the right hash tagging. and so I just said screw it man I'm not. dealing with this [ __ ] I'm not dealing. with something where you have to get it. like you can't even have any your a. millimeter off from the exact way. something supposed to be done and you. didn't and you're wrong it just didn't.

rest well with me man and um so that's. kind of you know how I ended up feeling. about a lot of the social media stuff. had a lot of people I asked me about it. you know and I'm not gonna argue with. the with the lady I'm not gonna argue. with you know I don't know I don't like. feeling forced I don't like feeling. forced I like to try and be unique so.

those were just some of my thoughts I'm. not saying that those thoughts are right. I'm not saying that you have to do. anything or you don't just kind of. telling you what happened with me that. was kind of my experience and it upset. me that people that I knew didn't call. me to say hey man this dude you don't. understand what's going on here like. this you know people are upset because. of this or it didn't they just like just. hung me out to dry like they were trying.

to use me to get their clout up their. online clout up and that hurt my. feelings man so I just said I don't have. to say anything but then you see stuff. that says silence is I don't even know. it just became so impossible it just.

made me realize the best way for me to. be involved is to be involved in. practices in my life that this stuff. online a lot of this stuff is it's not. even for a movement it's for the. individual sometimes it. for people trying to look a certain way. that's even why we don't when I thought. about it too about the black square my. yes I support black lives now I would. never want to see anybody hurt you know.

so I called my friends I called my. friends that are black that's what I did. and I spoke with them and I heard their. voices and I talked with them and I let. him know that I love them. that's what I did I think guys about. four guys that I spoke to and and it was.

nice man it was nice it was nice to know. that on her in a real place in a. one-on-one connection place everything. was pretty comfortable and so that's. right you know that's really what I've. been doing and I know a lot of people. had a lot of different thoughts you know.

but I spoke to my friends that's what I. spoke to them and and I enjoyed it him. you know there was some laughter there. was some you know touching moments and. just checking in with each other you. know that's kind of so that's sort of. how you know this is a tumultuous. weekend for a lot of people and again. I'm not telling you how to live your. life or do anything but I am saying that. this podcast is a place where people can.

communicate and it's not you could raise. your hand here you know this isn't a. place where you're not allowed to speak. or to think or to feel you know because. I don't want it to be that for me you. know I was scared to even do this. episode a little bit I'm scared to talk. about some of this kind of stuff because. so many people you get one word wrong. you're going to hell you're doing this.

you with the devil now boy you hate. black people you hate leopards somebody. said you hate leopards if you don't get. this right what the [ __ ] are you talking. about huh you know just I just just um I. just don't want to play that game I. don't want to live in that gown I don't. want to live in that space and that's.

the space that's created online a lot. you know when I got out of there and I. got into the real humanity and checked. in with my friends things were it was it. was a lot safer than that then in the. world where they want you to believe. that everything is is a verklempt you. know we're lopsided or that the whole. world has flat tires on it that that.

every human heart is rolling around with. a flat tire on it I don't believe that. you guys had some thoughts man let's get. into a couple of them sorry to be. serioso on here. but sometimes you know [ __ ] hit you bruh. sometime you running down the block and. a turd catches you in the net you know. and that's God just wanted to give you a.

a couple comments about our current. environment thank you for calling Mike I. appreciate a man home word perspective. from a police officer up here in. California a man first of all I just. want to say that uh you know what took. place out in Minneapolis with this. officer it's pretty disturbing and I'll. tell you on behalf of everyone I know in. the law enforcement community that's. just not how we do business.

you know we we're governed by strict. policies and procedures that guide how. we have to use force against somebody. that's combative. and I'll tell you man under most. circumstances we try to use the least. amount of force as possible for every. given situation oh yeah brother LF maybe. least force baby homework our goal is.

definitely not to to hurt anybody but. unfortunately those things happen and. it's just that now that uh you know that. we take a hit on that on one guys action. our whole law enforcement family have to. take a hit on that I guess the most. important thing and the message I really. want to get out there madness that's. just that's just not who we are.

there you go right there and that's an. adult man right there that's an adult. male police officer I'm assuming could. also be female you do not know a hundred. percent I don't want to jump to. conclusions but it could be Mike you. know female might miss Mike but thank. you for the call yeah I'm sure that's. really tough you know you applied for a. job you're part of a group you know it's.

just I mean it's heartbreaking when one. person ruins things for people you know. it's heartbreaking and um and that's got. to be tough man it's got to be tough for. you as well you know being on you know. being at a job where you have to go out. and you're you know your responsibility. is so much heavier then somebody that's. going to do electricity is pretty that's.

that's pretty hardcore whenever you know. you know voltage is basically to burgle. right there and that shit's about this. trying to steal your soul every time you. around a cable but yeah like somebody. that works at the pool or somebody that. works at a arm Derry you know they got. an easier path then then then a police. officer minim thank you for the call. Mike and thank you for thank you for. your service man let's take another call.

here here we go. nine eight five six six four nine five. zero three hey what a do PEO with you. boy Kenny from the park what's up Kenny. from the beach baby sandcastle Kenny Sun. drawbridge Kenny down there babysitting. them beauties in them a leg got Thor's. baby them Spanish I like that but Baba. homeward you know obviously a lot of.

people think it's white versus black it. was not put in actuality you know it's. cop versus people of color people of. oppression and whatnot so a lot of. people like to come back like blue lives. matter like okay black lives matter you. know stuff like that but they're trying. to make it seem like blue lives like.

cops are a race like they wake up blue. like they are Smurfs or something you. know what I'm saying how the Smurfs out. here aim speaking of which the Smurfs. Loki I think with the racist TV show. because if you looked at all the same. color no wearing white hood Papa Smurf. man you got the red hood on okay but. that's a whole different boy oh yeah. they're acting like you know cops are a. race they don't wake up black you know. they don't wake up ground they don't.

wake up Latino Hispanic you know there's. a choice for them to have that job and. what so I appreciate that minute yeah. that's a good uh yes people do try to. make it real racial you know people do. people try to make it racial yeah yeah. cops wake up and they're all different. color people two cops come in all. different shades. you know the George Floyd um the.

gentleman's that that took his life I. mean that had the main man and he looked. white as a white guy thing Calvin and. then they had. then they had another guy a black. gentleman and then they had another. white tall guy. maybe Dutch practically and then a. Vietnamese guy. TomTom I think so they have a multitude. you know it's you know it's it's uh yeah.

it's not a it's not like it's white cops. versus people of color you know and I. believe yes some people try to turn it. into that it's it's police brutality and. I think it happens sometimes because and. I could be wrong and I probably am wrong. but I think it happens sometimes because.

you have more poverty in diverse. communities you know and I'm sorry to. say that if you you know if you were. extremely diverse and it you know it. hurts you to hear that uh you know I. don't mean anything by it I'm just you. know and statistically that it's tougher. it's tougher so in the end I think it. even comes even into a poverty a lot of.

wealthy black and Latino people having. trouble with that as much trouble with. the police like actual to the point. where you're seeing death now you still. probably have more racial profiling but. I don't know you know I don't know all. the statistics on that and I'm not. trying to get into that you know um but. yeah it's interesting I don't know if.

we--if making it out to be a race thing. doesn't help I think and there's two. things that's going on you know you see. a lot of race stuff going on and you see. things that are just really focused on. police brutality this next gentleman. that called in the his head is tight man. like my hair is so long right now I. gotta get a ding. but I appreciate you calling ma'am you.

know this next gentleman called in and. this this guy had a suggestion that I. thought was super interesting let's take. it right here guy you know what I feel. rich Raleigh North Carolina rich out of. Raleigh Raleigh rich huh rich got that. cash rich got them coins baby bankroll. Richie huh Ritchie with that bread huh. stacks on stacks on stacks rickety.

rackets wrecks Richie right there is. Richie rad Richie with them right thanks. Albert Hey look at the former 82nd. airborne paratrooper served in Iraq. twice Afghanistan lose and there was. angry mobs and unfortunately that's how.

you you calm down. disobedience was with a hammer. people all like that so what I was going. to say was you know I'm not a mayor and. police chief Elizabeth you had female. between is being down in certain. citizens prevent any kind of. investigation or anything you know.

misbehavior then they happen we had a. female that conducted the search here. that handled that and maybe this was you. know it has to come down to there's a. black you just need more black top black. top black top deal with the black people. perpetrators whatever black gladiator. gang brother thank you for the call.

that's it that's that's um you know. that's something to think about there I. was. thinking about this as well man what if. you call a police station you say hey. you know I have you know I got two white. guys over here. I got a you know I got one Latino and I. got a you know one Neapolitan you know. and that's who so that's they send you. that that style of officers then you. have just to find a way to take the race.

element out of it you know to take it. and to make it not a you know to make it. not a racial thing it'd be interesting. you know you like a can you send. somebody over yeah I need a guy I got a. Dutch somebody over here that's Dutch. and I got a mm2 vietze over here you. know throwing rocks and they're like oh.

[ __ ] we understaffed over here all we. got is you know we have a black guy and. we have a Croatian female I don't think. we can help you we can't help you. tonight you know that'd be crazy. wouldn't it but would that be. interesting if they had you know if they. had certain ethnicity alter you officers. you match it up you match this you match.

that you know I'm just thinking outside. of the box here thinking of different. ways because if if things continue to be. a problem then then you have to try and. you know think of some different options. you know like I used to work at that. place what was that place called in. Charleston it was called a frozen. options and you could get a different. something a little you know frozen candy. or a frozen ice treat or something and.

get you something get you a little. cousin a little you know grape something. low eskimo sour sauce or something. zipper. what else we got man let's hit this. other call that came in right here again. it was socio my name is Eric I live in. Sacramento California. sorry post on Instagram No thank you for.

calling Eric and yeah post on Instagram. if you have thoughts about what's going. on to give a call man I know I mean. after I found it so hard to try and. there's just not a lot of room for. communication out on social media it's. al it's not it didn't feel very. welcoming and we got so many calls at so. many calls onward know it's crazy out. here man. I live I actually work in a police.

department not as the officers as a. janitor and you know I've been a big fan. of the podcast and keeps me motivated. keeps me working but anyway yes thanks. man and congratulations on your work. over there you know it reminds me of. that movie Good Will Hunting and that. you know that guy was a janitor for a. little bit in them BAM he's uh you know. he's driving an El Camino out you know. any going to get the girl.

so Gangrel more and then I'm like I'm. here and I'm just kind of walking around. doing my own thing and you know I. oversee a college some cops talking [ __ ]. about what's going on and like bashing. other people and I hear two other cops. like you know just being you know a. little bit more mindful about what's. going on you know I know that a lot of. people say that all cops are bad but me. working here I've been working here for. a little bit over a year and I think. it's pretty safe to say that really if.

not all cops are bad there's some that. are full of big that to me I'm a Mexican. and they do me mug you know the they me. mug me and they give me thirty bucks but. there's some that are trying to get to. know you trying to give you. opportunities and yeah man that's crazy. out here I hope everybody stays safe. gang brother thank you and Nash from BTS. the police department behind. scene so yes it's uh you know it's.

heartbreaking man what happened to the. man and and George Floyd and and you see. him you know just the this stuff is. heartbreaking and it hits you in a place. where you know it just hits you in a. human it just hits me in a human place. and I don't think that that place that's. inside of me has any color in it you.

know there's a place inside of us that. doesn't have any that doesn't even know. what color we are you know there's a. place inside of us that uh there's a. place inside of us that really I mean. just really can that that feels each. other's painting it's like a it's not.

even our heart it's not our brain it's. just some I don't know what it is I I. don't even know if they have a name for. it I mean I know they have a name for it. like empathy or sympathy or. understanding but I don't know if they. have a name for this this I don't know. it's like a it's a place where when I. well you have it and and and when you. see pain it hurts even if it's not yours.

you know and it hurts you at a place. that's deeper than your skin and bones. you know one thing I was thinking uh. before we get into this next call they. had was what if maybe it's time to kind. of rebrand the police you know maybe. it's time to have a to not have police.

departments and to have just National. Guard or just you know a different type. of. just because I start to wonder how's the. des des police gotten too much of a. negative connotation with it now that it. just makes the whole job even tougher. you know it makes the whole job even.

tougher that I don't I don't know if you. got a man out there and he's coming at. you know and you know and now you got a. different name you got a different color. suit you got a different you know I. don't know maybe you make it so the. weapon you got to answer a trivia. question or something for you can use it. or something you know you got a I don't. know but I'm wondering this if you know. if it's to police the police so for so.

it's had too much of a it has too much. negativity with it attached to the name. not a test with all the officers but. just that it has too much negativity. attached with the name or too much bad. branding that maybe you do use a. National Guard or you use a military. police or something like that of course. you'd have to change their name I don't. know I'm just thinking out loud. and I don't have any right answers man.

you know I thought it was beautiful to. see oh wait let me get this call while. we're on National Guard homeward as. going on Theo this is Andrew out of a. Virginia hey how's it going man I'm in. the military and I just want to bring. light to a you know a certain situation. I don't think anybody's really talking. about you know those guys in the. National Guard I'm sure they all want to. protest too but US military people were. held to a different standard we can't. really protest like everybody else. protest so it's federal charges at that.

point they could take our livelihoods. away so wow I don't even know that they. yeah you see in National Guard's when. you see them you know court owning or. court on court owning off an area and. yeah you immediately I feel like people. immediately feel like oh these are the. bad. that's correct then that's crazy isn't. it that people immediately they'll see a.

man in military yellow he that's the bad. guy that guy's just you or me they just. put a different outfit on him. and he has to do his job he can't even. protest if he wants to you know I didn't. know that man it's you know so it's like. there's feelings behind the the outfit. onward put that in your ear and see what. you think about you know the position. that they're in it's hard for us because.

we can't even speak out on things like. social media and certain be caught out. in the streets like that because you. know they can catch us up and you know. I'm an avid listener of this past. weekend of king of the sting I'm a Theo. von fanatic I do well I appreciate that. man thank thank you bro thanks for the. thanks for saying some of that nice. stuff at the end and you know thank you.

for your service man you know I it's. hard I'm sure it's hard for you guys you. know it's uh I'm sure it's hard it's how. you know things are hard for a lot of. people different things are hard for a. lot of people in and it is unfortunate. when you know there's that Chris Rock. bit going around you can't have a bad. apple on a police force you know you. can't. that's a job you just can't have it on.

and I'm sure a lot of these forces they. don't want it to be that way you know. [Music]. but that that job has just got to be so. it that jobs got to be tough and it's. got to be really tough for a lot of. people now if you're some people might. be out there just wanting to be an. egomaniac and just wanting to play. Robocop and do this in that you know.

it's unfortunate when you know there's. bad there's those. there's police officers that don't do. well and and that you know that uh that. use extra violence and extra brutality. and just enforce their will at a you. know at a unfair and even deathly amount. sometimes it's just his heart breaking. man I don't think anybody I don't know.

anybody who doesn't agree that that's. heartbreaking you know uh it's. heartbreaking man but yeah you don't. know we don't know what these people in. the uniforms are thinking you know these. people are they don't even get to. protest if they want to that's kind of. interesting that you got a man right. there he can't even or a woman right. there. whose serve in the country and they. can't even protest if they want to what.

else let's take another call that came. in right here onward do you man you're a. beast on the producer yeah I just these. rights man you crazy everything's crazy. right now it's crazy times I actually. you know I'm the eyes my stay rested. peace George Floyd justice for George. Floyd that man I stood on his neck with. his knee he deserves to be executed. that's a hundred percent fat. thanks me but I just want to say they.

were riding on the Main Avenue you know. my neighborhood I was I was down there I. was right in the middle of all that just. watching and it was really heartbreaking. to see cuz I didn't get the vibes that. anybody was really out there protesting. it was more vibes of everybody's kind of. having fun in the chaos so pretty hard. breaking in the center of my city though. there it's mostly peaceful protesters. beautiful amen brother thank you for. that message and that's out of. Philadelphia that man called in and yet.

to put the the protesting a lot of the. rioting I get the looting and stuff I do. not I don't get it I just don't get it I. understand that you know as people that. say that they you know they have nothing. and they can. you know I just don't get I just don't. get it.

DSW shoe store or [ __ ] uh hiding you. know put covering a Cinnabon or a shake. shack in a kerosene and lighting that. bad burger [ __ ] up I just what are you. doing that's not helping anything now I.

I understand a grinder stand aggression. I understand anger I understand now if. you don't have anything but I remember. when I was young and we didn't have.

anything dog if so a little bit of chaos. started it's easy to just hitch a ride. on that chaos cart it's easy so you know. you have people that have been inside. for months. they can't even meet up as a group the. first thing they're allowed to do to. meet up as a group is burn down a dam. you know is burned down a dam um.

that you know I thought a lot of things. is you know I thought a lot of. once you know things got real racial as. well you know this past week things have. got real racial and and America is tough. you know America is a country that. that's that has diversity in it some. countries it's not like it's not like. that diversity is it's not easy.

apparently apparently diversity is not. easy on planet Earth I'm not saying that. it's impossible or that is I'm not even. saying that it's hard but and I'm also. saying this is just my perspective man. you know I try to keep an open heart in. mind but it's hard I only have my own. experience with the world but you know.

it's so but I definitely asked myself. this week I said well why am i racist. you know and it's a good question to ask. yourself man am I am i racist and what I. don't like is I don't like things you. see online it says if you have to ask. yourself than you if you have to ask. yourself then you are racist if you have. to this then this and that man stop stop.

with that you're shutting down peoples. voices man that's the worst but yeah I. definitely asked I said man am i or do I. have racist ways that I'm not seeing I. know I have some behaviors you know I. feel like some of those are based on. experience on experiences you know um. you know I think I get nervous if I go. into a group where I'm the only one of a.

certain ethnicity you know if I go into. a group of Mexicans are going to a group. of blacks or I go into a group of Asians. or are going a group of women you know I. go into any group I get. I do feel uh sometimes I guess it's a. nervousness sometimes it could be more. scared now I find no people in the group.

and stuff that's different but I don't. feel that because oh I hate these people. or I have hatred I feel it because maybe. I maybe you've had an experience maybe. you walked maybe I'll you know when I. was young I got jumped by a couple. groups of guys who had darker skin than. me man you know and so I think you know. I'll probably have had experiences that.

leave me you know kind of lead me to be. feeling a certain way sometimes but but. I think it's a good question to ask. ourselves man you know sometimes it's. like you're just you may have had. experiences that leave you feeling a. certain way but that doesn't make you. racist you know so I don't know it's.

it's it's a lot you go online also in a. it's everything online is extremely you. know you feel white shamed a lot you. feel a lot of white shaming and I'm. shaving I don't like that [ __ ] man you. know uh and that's that's scary it's. scary to navigate okay is this just. something that I'm just do I just need. to stay off of this kind of social media. that you know what's going on here and.

then also how do I not make this about. me this has nothing you know this is a. movement supporting black or people of. color Kent I don't know I don't even. know what to say sometimes but. supporting you know police brutality. it's confusing man is very confusing but. I do think it is a good idea to ask your. heart sometimes what's going on and I'm. grateful to protests like this and stuff.

because it makes me do that. you know I literally I said man am I am. i racist you know where do my racial. experient what where do my experiences. come from with race you know it's. interesting to think about those things. um what else we got man we had some. beautiful calls that came in sorry to. just be going through calls this week. but you know I'll put on Instagram and.

so many calls came in that uh that it. was a lot man that it was a lot here we. go right here the hotline is always. ninety five six six four nine five zero. three here in Virginia. what's up beat Kate let's hear it baby. thank you for calling sir George Floyd. murder hundred percent wrong peaceful. protests for equality 100% right rioting.

looting hijacking the movement of the. peaceful protesters hundred-percent. wrong as well and overwhelming majority. agrees time would leave the police. station like we do firefighters and EMTs. we'll call you if we need you that's an. interesting way that's an interesting. way of doing it you know we'll call you.

if we need you leave them there you know. not having patrols as patrols make. people feel a certain type of way we got. this call that came in here from a young. lady where do we go right here what's up.

Muriel thanks for calling San Diego down. there and I've been down a good place. too you know they got a lot of Bulldogs. uh doing sex down there you could you. know get you a little pit bull and get. you something you know get you a little. cuddle. get you a little slice of uh you know. they got hoagies and everything on their. tacos down there what I'm talking about. Pacific Beach get you a beautiful treat. all work time to speak up.

[Music]. Mexican Americans very affected with the. whole thing going on and I'm speaking up. because I'll be mad if I hear another. white person honest to complain about. the riots being too much and saying that. there should be another way but I don't. think there is in the past in 2014.

Kobe Bryant wore a t-shirt that says I. can't breathe and he got a lot of hate. for that and that was peaceful in 2016. the NFL took a knee during the national. anthem and you saw the backlash it will. continue and I think this is the only. way I believe that can really get under.

people's skin and even if people are. complaining about the violence this may. be consider the fact that people of. color never fully felt a part of society. and people running neighborhoods may be. the one way to get to people who are. racist thank you for that call young. lady appreciate it. I believe that's a young lady you do not.

know on a percent but I'm gonna go I'm. gonna stick with that the assumption. there yeah you know it's you know it's. if you feel like you can't you're not. heard you know when busi was in here the. other day he said one thing that I. thought was interesting that he talked. about and thank you to everybody I got. so many nice messages man I was so. excited to have him in that I was so. excited in that.

easy that when started this podcast I. talked about man if busi came in man man. it would be great could you even imagine. and then there he was man it was cool. too man. it was cool he was cool bruh it was I. was nervous I was kind of I mean I. wasn't well big baby said that he that. boo see that is a gangster so I was.

definitely nervous that's what I was and. and he said something that was. interesting man he said that you know. about black people having their own. their own towns their own infrastructure. their own schools their own laws their. own their own you know everything their.

own everything and when you just said. that to about people not feeling a part. of society you know that's interesting I. wonder if you know because there's. probably people that feel like that. there's probably of people that feel. like they would like to just have their. own society so it's like how do you get. that you know maybe there in the future. you know you have places where if people.

want to just live with people like. themselves then they can and then that's. a choice you know and I'm not talking. about segregation I'm gonna talking. about anybody being forced to live. anywhere or I'm talking about if people. choose this is they all this is what we. want this is what I want I don't know. you know I don't know because America is.

just a system it's just a you know it's. just a it's just a system and it's a. system that's always kind of changed. over time. and the more it gets diverse and the. more people stand up for what they you. know that groups protest it's gonna. continue to change you know it's kind of. like a chameleon I think I mean I like. to think of it as that you know and I'm.

just there's so much there's so many. voices there's so many voices but I feel. like the protests and stuff this weekend. and last week seemed really magical a. lot of it you know seeing a lot of the. humanity just the people getting. together and you know it seemed a lot. more diverse than pictures you see a. protest of of other protests for me.

anyway it seemed really I don't know it. seemed like a movement you know and I. think you have most people agree that. you know you want that people deserve to. feel safe in their country I don't know. what I'm talking about really uh but. yeah if you felt like you have not like. yeah what would you do if you feel like. nothing else is working to get your. voice heard.

you know busi and i were also talking. about how atlanta now is such a. prosperous city for african americans. and i believe a lot of stuff is time a. lot of stuff is time and a lot of stuff. is money you know uh you know when I was. young I could relate a lot to poor black. children because they didn't have. anything like we didn't have anything.

you know when it was such a uh you you. know they and then you get to places. like Atlanta and you really see like a. blooming prosper I mean it's just it's. it's great it's it's amazing it's. awesome but that's money. you know that's money mine uh what do we. got right here here we go.

let's take a call that came in again hey. we've got the Maury all the way out of. Maine was Maurice from Maine and more. recent their baby and I'm frickin met a. girl up there. who let me touch that see Rotch one time. maybe I can't remember but but I. remember a bat was flying at us bruh and. we was up there in an abandoned house. and I hit that [ __ ] with a tennis. racket man not the girl the bat so that.

little bastard look a little dirty. bastard that little [ __ ] air bastard. that little [ __ ] coughs Mugler came. at has run us I've clipped that [ __ ]. out the sky with that andre agassi. brought hit that bed John Oh words sir. real far other side of the country. you know I are pissed a lot of people. are upset well people have good reason. to be upset but the vast majority of.

people are seemingly doing this looting. terrorizing vandalizing the facing of. property all that [ __ ] seems to be just. a way to put themselves out on Instagram. or social media to get attention you. know to be part of the group to be one. of them you know stand out even though.

everybody's doing the same thing what. people do have a reason to be upset and. some of this will help will change some. of it won't. a lot of it's just going to be awful tax. money through the through the drain down. the drain but that's what I feel it's a. little crazy out here but I'm ready for. that bugaloo let's do it Gang Gang Gang. man thanks for calling yeah so you know.

I I don't know man I don't know how you. get. you know I don't know really if there is. a solution it's just a slow evolution. and and I think that awareness is key. and you know I definitely think yeah a. lot of people out there for social media. a lot of people trying to get social. media just trying to just get the right. thing the right picture the right well.

for one the right thing to express what. they're feeling and understand that but. other stuff yeah people just trying to. you know I'm trying to get my cousin the. [ __ ] you know hit somebody with a. skateboard who's stealing a bag of. oranges and [ __ ] and you're like damn. man that's crazy bro you know that's. really some don mattingly citrus type. [ __ ] right there man but yeah let's take. this call came in man and I felt like. that a little bit with this call right.

here here we go hey this is about the. protest in Atlanta the protest black. city can't believe I got home safe. tonight we don't know what the next you. know the next step kind of thing is like. how does this all end and we were asking. police to just say the word black life. matter or just taken me and they refused. and I was looking them straight in the. eye and they were looking back at me.

with what kind of a look of just like. you know why I'm not going to say it. like they were racist and so that I mean. we just have to keep pushing because you. they have to be able to say it right I. don't know why they won't they won't. respond I don't know why they just. refused to respond we're supposed to be. a team yeah I mean that's interesting. kind of you know that I don't know if. on-duty police officer I mean trying to.

get them to do something you know I just. don't I mean that sounds like it's. something for you. you know I don't know trying to get an. on-duty police officer to take a knee or. do blacklivesmatter that sounds like. it's something for social media. you know that man's at work and also. he's at a stressful probably the most. stressful day at work he's ever had and.

trying to get something for social media. it's just you know or that doesn't make. him racist because he doesn't want to be. a part because he chooses not to that. means working he's at work. you know maybe catch him when he's off. of work and talked to him and then. police officers I don't know if they can. just be racist like this man saying like.

police officers aren't just blue you. know they're police officers are every. color and every type of person you know. one of my good friends red grant his. wife is a police officer you know if you. watch that television show it's called. it's a show for TV it's a TV show it's. called um where the water where they.

couldn't drink it where you boil daddy. longneck is from Oh grant no murder no. it's damn boy. let me see this [ __ ] don't drink the. water we can't drink it.

Flint it's called the Flint police show. basically something like that Flint PD. or something and it's just interesting. it's interesting to see what there's. what those people's lives are like all. the time you know it's real interesting. to see but yeah I mean I don't know if. you know I think that would be the best. thing is to catch them off duty and see.

how they feel but they're it's very. diverse these police forces most of the. police officers that I see here in Los. Angeles are probably Latinos you know or. make on us do one thing that gets on my. nerves when somebody is Mexican and. people call him Spanish dude don't do. that [ __ ] Spanish brah he's Mexican. don't do the Spanish thing they come on. that guy in Spanish that guy's a Mexican.

guy have some respects again you know. for the Mexicans man Spanish dude that's. some [ __ ] this is my Spanish friend. somebody said one time dude you don't. know [ __ ] that ain't your [ __ ] friend. if you don't know you're your boys. Mexican right there that's an hombre. Papa just that kind of stuff man um what. else man oh let's get into one or two.

more calls man yeah sorry to focus just. on this stuff this episode but I felt. like you know I committed to it by. having people call the hotline and um. and and so I wanted to honor that but. yeah I don't know if trying yeah it's. just I don't know man. I don't know it's a touch it's a choppy. time there's a choppy time.

let's take another call that came in. right here hey Theo its Miller calling. from Canada you told us that we can now. leave a comment on all this protesting. what we think of it and you know I'm a. white kid from a small town and I always. grew up feeling like I was lacking a. certain perspective so I moved to a big. city and I studied criminology for four. years and you know I haven't really been. saying much on social media these days.

because I just feel like everyone should. tend to their own garden and you know I. don't want to tell anybody else what. they should or shouldn't be doing but. I've gotten some comments from people. saying you know oh you know violence is. a inherent form of racism and stuff and. you know like a lot of people don't know. other stories I I spent fifty thousand. of my own dollars and four years of of. hard work to to better understand and. gain a better perspective of what's.

going on in minority communities and and. their experiences with police and you. know I hope to be a police officer. someday and I just feel like doing. things like you know building a. relationship with this homoerotic man in. my community and and and mowing his lawn. you know that's uh I'm better suited you. know just focusing on myself and not. telling other people what to do so these. are so my thoughts thanks for creating a. space for us to to leave thoughts like. this and Gen gang gang brother yeah man.

I think yeah I think that's one way to. uh to make things better is to try. things a little bit different you know. touch out you know touch a gay friend. you know touch a gay friend touched. touch them hug them hold her hand do. 2-yard do something blow up uh you know. help help them help them do something. change the guard and change the house. you know get the mail get the mail for.

somebody that's Latino you know or not. Spanish you know what I'm saying me. Ghana Papa you know do something nice go. and knock on that person's door or say. what's going on you know uh. this the the disconnect if 'ti these. days we do I think start to wonder more. we start to wonder am i okay are they. okay are they thinking these things am I. thinking these things you know you start.

watching the news or you start getting. caught up and then I start wondering man. I don't feel good you know the news make. me feel like I'm a bad person you know. or the news just wants to keep showing. this same thing you know you got a call. check in with a buddy check in with the. friend say man this stuff had me. thinking about you you know and I'm.

sorry it took for this kind of thing for. me to call but I just wanted to let you. know I just wanted to say hey you know. check in with somebody that maybe has a. different experience yeah I mean it's so. cuz I just there's so many good people. out there and it's wild to me that the. news makes money off of this whole thing. that's the craziest thing to that the. news is making money off of this and.

they keep telling us this same story and. they don't and the news doesn't if you. just watch the news you think that. people are bad not crazy if you just. watched the news you think people are. bad. I just do not find that to be the truth. you know the only choice is to be. hopeful but thank you for the call young.

man yeah 10 to the garden that you can. touch you know talk to your friends. communicate with people you care about. communicate with people that are. different than you you know take a. little take a ticket uh. you know take a couple take a thing a. soup to a black friend take a you know. take a piece of art to a Mexican friend.

you know take oh do something you know. extend a hand a pat on the back just an. extra hey man you know just an extra. look in the eyes man a man I care about. you you know I care about that your. experience here on earth is good you. know if there's something that you feel. like I don't do personally that could. help that that makes it on good let me.

know what's up but yeah I mean I don't. know I just have my own perspective but. I appreciate that people call and I. appreciate you know it's this is life. this is life and I choose a lot of times. also to see I'll see a lot of the. positive things going on you know I look.

around and see a lot of good stuff going. on around in America for people of all. ethnicities I mean she every but every. music every so much music is black. influenced you know so many of the top. athletes entertainers I see a lot of. diversity people because that you can oh. you can pity you can say you don't know.

you don't this and that and and it's. hard yeah. I can look at all that - but but that it. doesn't make me blind if I choose to. look on the bright side you know. sometimes it's like online like people. don't want to they don't want to hear. you they want to control you. that's something I didn't like on social. media people want to control you they.

want to control you man. no this is what you say this is how you. say it I'm not a part of that whatever. this this uncomfortable thing is where I. don't get to be myself where you're not. you where I'm not I'm just a piece of. some fictional puzzle that you know. that's is that doing anything I don't. know man I'm thinking out loud I'm sorry.

if I'm complaining a lot or something I. don't know what's going on I should. probably go home soon we got one more. call that came in from this young fella. in North Carolina gang going through a. rough time recently and then trying to. keep the booze brother thank you for. calling Eric man and I'm sorry to hear. that you're having trouble with the man.
