1
00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:05.960
Cousins, Ken folks, Happy Friday. How's everyone doing to day? Welcome

2
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:09.759
to currently under construction. Thank you
so much for joining me. Man.

3
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:14.039
It's a beautiful day outside, so
if you haven't been out and enjoying the

4
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.640
great weather, get on out to
Dare. Get on out and take a

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.399
ride, take a walk, whatever
it is that you're doing today, Just

6
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:26.160
get out and enjoy yourself today because
hey, we know tomorrow's not promise to

7
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.920
take any of us. Right now, before we get into the show,

8
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:40.520
I want to send a shout out
to the Foster family in Las Vegas.

9
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:47.799
Childhood friend of mine passed away on
yesterday. It was announced by her daughter

10
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.240
and confirmed by her sister, who
I know personally as well. So I

11
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:58.000
want to send a shout out to
the Foster family Tanisa and all of her

12
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:03.399
daughters and her son and her grandchildren
and everything. She was a sweet lady.

13
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:12.120
She had suffered quite a bit with
different ailments or whatnot, so she

14
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.959
doesn't have to suffer anymore. So
again we want to send us and say

15
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:26.120
prayers and condolences for her and her
loved ones and family. And we just

16
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.000
prayed that, you know, in
this time of breathing right now that they

17
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.400
are comforted that the Most High will
wrap his arms around them and comfort them

18
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.680
and love on them and know that
she is in a much better place right

19
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:46.480
now. So again we're going to
send shout out to the Foster slash Haley

20
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.359
family. Resto Nisha, God,
continue to cover your family, your loved

21
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.799
ones, and wrap you in His
bosom. All right, cousins and ken

22
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.239
folks, We're gonna go on and
get on to it. Cousins, listen,

23
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:08.560
the month of October is Breast cancer
and Domestic Violence Awareness month. Now,

24
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.639
normally, if you've rocked with me
from day one, you know every

25
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:17.400
year we're doing an episode of maybe
two about this. We haven't this month.

26
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:23.159
We're just not getting around to it
because again we were on a hiatus

27
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.960
and I want again once again we're
gonna touch based on that. So you

28
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.840
all know. For those of you
who have followed me since day one or

29
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.080
you know me personally, you know
that I'm a huge advocate in supporting any

30
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.719
and all type of cancer research,
any of all type of cancer activities,

31
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:49.199
any of all type of cancer organizations
or supporting groups or whatnot, and me

32
00:02:49.319 --> 00:03:00.000
being I cancer survivor myself. For
those of you who don't take the time

33
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.759
to make sure that you get yourself
screamed. Ladies. I don't know what

34
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.000
that's like personally, but I have
seen the effects of it, and I've

35
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.759
known a couple of people who I
have been diagnosed with it, who've gone

36
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:19.560
through, some who've made it,
some weren't so lucky. But early detection

37
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:24.319
is definitely important. So ladies,
ladies, my sisters, my sisters,

38
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:30.479
my cousins, my nieces, my
aunts, my mother's out there, please

39
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:36.759
make sure you take the time to
go get yourself screamed and tested. You

40
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.759
know, doesn't have to be at
a certain age. Don't wait till something

41
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.879
happens or you feel something funny,
or whatever the case may be. Go

42
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:52.680
get yourself screamed regularly, you know, along with your yearly to ensure that

43
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.919
you are okay. Everything is good, And early detection is normally the best

44
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:03.159
thing to do because you can just
get past that, you can get that

45
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:09.719
treated taken care of and whatnot a
way ahead of time, instead of finding

46
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:15.919
out too late and having to ravage
your body or perhaps even have a mistake

47
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:24.160
to me in order to bypass this
dreadful disease. So again, my sisters.

48
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.600
You know, just make sure that
you do whatever it is to take

49
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:33.839
care of your your tatars. I'm
saying that as a jokingly right now,

50
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:41.040
but I'm so serious at the same
time, because especially among black women in

51
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:46.079
our community, it's such a hits
such a high rate. So ladies,

52
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.959
my sisters, please, I implore
you, as your cousin who loves you

53
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.720
all dearly, make sure you get
yourself screened and taking care of so that

54
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.240
is that you won't have to experience
and go through and battle it in whatever

55
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.360
the case may be. Because this
dreadful disease is out there. It is

56
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:12.680
attacking us, It is attacking our
sisters in so many different ways. So

57
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.079
so also you know, support you
know, breast cancer awareness, breast cancer

58
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:23.399
organizations, breast cancer support. Go
out there and support in any way you

59
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.639
can. Not just my sisters,
my brothers, you too, whether you

60
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:32.759
can take care of participate in our
breast cancer awareness walk, wrathful, whatever

61
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.720
the case may be, Let's ensure
that we get out there and we support

62
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:45.399
in any and every way we can
share it, share that information, donate

63
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.040
if you can, or if you
want to, whatever it takes. However

64
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.759
you can you feel that you want
or to show support. Let's get out

65
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:59.360
there and do that because it's very
important and it affects us all. So

66
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:14.319
again, breast cancer Awareness. Let's
just ensure that we do everything that we

67
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.720
can to help support our sisters out
here who are battling it, those who

68
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:23.800
may have experienced it, and those
who may have overcome it. All right,

69
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:30.160
I love y'all, I love you
dearly. Now I'm probably about to

70
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.279
crank up a little bit because those
of you who know me, you know

71
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:40.639
this is a touching subject for me. But this, the awareness for this

72
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.519
on this month seems to always take
a back seat for some reason. So

73
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.240
I want to bring it to the
forefront. So this month is also domestic

74
00:06:49.519 --> 00:07:02.000
Violence Awareness Month. Now, domestic
violence isn't always physical and be mental and

75
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:12.079
emotional, and it can be all
three. But this uh, bringing awareness

76
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:17.279
to this particular heinous act always seems
to take a back seat somehow or another

77
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:24.839
to anything else that happens this month, even to Halloween. Well you know

78
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:31.720
what I'm I'm from. I'm bringing
it to the forefront. So I want

79
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:39.079
to send a message right now to
before I do that. Before I do

80
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.439
that, I mean, let me
me really then cousins, Kennic Fold,

81
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:47.680
y'all, just y'all just hanging there
with me. Domestic violence is wrong.

82
00:07:49.160 --> 00:08:00.240
There is no acceptance of it.
There is no well let's talk, hey.

83
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.519
There's nothing about that that's right.
There's nothing about it that is okay.

84
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:13.279
There is nothing about it that warrants
it. No woman or a man

85
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.480
because don't think it don't happen to
me, and because it does. But

86
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:30.199
no woman or no person has a
right to abuse you in any form,

87
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.200
for whatever reason, for whatever twisted
thing that they may come to or think

88
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:41.320
in their mind. There is no
reasoning for that, and it shouldn't be

89
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:50.720
tolerated. It shouldn't be tolerated in
any shape, form or fashion. You,

90
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.559
sisters that are out there that may
be experiencing this, you don't deserve

91
00:08:54.639 --> 00:09:03.000
that. Your children don't deserve to
see you hurt all the time. This

92
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:09.159
person will will will manipulate and say
or or try to flip to make it

93
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:16.000
seem like it's your fault. It's
not. It is not your fault.

94
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.759
It's not your fault in any shape, form or fashion. That is all

95
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.080
them, and you don't have to
accept it. You don't have to put

96
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:31.559
up with it. At all.
They don't have the right to. They

97
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.799
don't own you, they don't have
the right to have that power over you.

98
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.720
You are not their slave. You
are not there in their their their

99
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:46.200
dog, or anything of that particular
nature. You are not. And for

100
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.759
those of you who who are who
do it that you think it's okay,

101
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.240
you got another thing coming. Cause
again we all know you know me,

102
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.480
you know I hate bullets. And
guess what. Those who do take the

103
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.000
time to to exert try to exert
power over those that they feel that are

104
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:09.039
weaker than them. You're a bully, you're a bully, but someone that's

105
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.080
stronger than you, or that you
can't intimidate or whatever. These are the

106
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.080
people that you bow down to.
These are the people that you back up

107
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:26.600
from. And again, domestic abuse
isn't always physical. It's a lot of

108
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:43.559
time it's mental and emotional. I
I knew his sister who dated this guy,

109
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:52.279
and he was extremely abusive to her
mentally and emotionally. He'd always make

110
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.559
everything seem like it was her fault
and it was her doing, and she

111
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.840
would always sit and think and try
to say, what could she do to

112
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.440
do better? Oh, she's sorry. He never took responsibility for anything that

113
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:09.480
he did and whatever he did to
abuse her in any way, he flipped

114
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:16.559
it like it was completely all her
fault when it wasn't. And when things

115
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.399
continued to escalate and then became physical, and she even she thought of leaving,

116
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.679
he'd always find someway of what buttons
to push to talk her back in,

117
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.360
say oh, it's I'm sorry,
It'll never happened again. I'm sorry,

118
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.360
I didn't mean to do that.
If you wouldn't have done x y

119
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:41.919
Z, I wouldn't have done this
right here, never took responsibility. Even

120
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:48.720
the apology was like he's was gaslighting
her. And she would come talk to

121
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.559
me and talk to a couple of
other of our mutual friends about it,

122
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.200
and we all said the same thing, you need to leave, you need

123
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.360
to leave. But he says he
loves me. Love isn't supposed to hurt.

124
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.879
Love's supposed to end up being a
closed fists. Love isn't supposed to

125
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.679
be somebody that's dogging you, that's
down in you, that's you know,

126
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.679
calling you everything under the sun just
to hold some type of power over you.

127
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.919
And one minute they're like, oh
you, I just love you so

128
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:16.960
much. I just don't want to
be without you, And then the next

129
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:24.159
minute they're calling you out of your
name and hitting you. That's not love,

130
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.799
that's not love. And it got
so bad to the point to where

131
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:48.639
or she did have enough and she
wanted to leave. He took her life

132
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:54.759
so she couldn't leave, because his
egotistical mind couldn't let her go and it

133
00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:05.559
wasn't on his accord, so he
took her life. Where is he now

134
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:15.279
doing a life sentence in Louisiana State
Penitentiary. He'll never get it, he'll

135
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.039
never see the streets again, and
he had no remorse about it in any

136
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:26.399
shape, form or fashion. That
women did not deserve that. No woman

137
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:33.480
who goes through that deserves that.
No man who goes through that deserves that.

138
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:35.960
And now you sit here asking him
like, wait a minute, men

139
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.360
are being domestically abused. Yes,
there are women out there that are now

140
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.679
to that particular point too, that
are narcissistic enough, that are out there

141
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:50.600
enough that they abuse that that they
domestically abuse their partners. Yes, they're

142
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.919
out there. You get a guy
that they know he won't hit women,

143
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.159
and they will do things to provoke
him to try to make him hit them.

144
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.559
Or they hit him and they know
that he's not going to hit them

145
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.559
back. It's abuse. And then
that course then and of course they always

146
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:13.919
fit mentally and emotionally manipulate. So, yes, there are men out there

147
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:20.919
that are experiencing that there is don't
think that it's not don't think it's all

148
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.519
just one side of that that there
are women out there doing this and there

149
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:31.720
are women out that they are doing
it to other women. Yeah, it's

150
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.120
wrong. No matter how you flip
it, how you cut it up,

151
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:43.000
slice it and dice it. You
have to have the courage and a wherewithal

152
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:48.960
to know your worth, to know
that you don't deserve to be treated less

153
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:58.399
than you don't deserve to be treated
like you don't matter, because you do.

154
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.279
If you don't know how to get
away, there are resources that are

155
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:13.399
out there on the Internet that you
can call Anonligement anonymously that will help you

156
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:20.679
get away. And I know some
of you think that, well, why

157
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:22.320
don't they call the police? Or
sometimes you call the police and they don't

158
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.840
wanna get involved, or they do, and you have those that sit and

159
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:33.720
they they ignore the protective order altogether, and the police. The first thing

160
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.360
the police will say well it's a
domestic matter where you both were fighting.

161
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.120
Well he uh that they will say, well she hit me, I hit

162
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.919
her, and they were like,
okay, it's a civil situation. We're

163
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:48.000
not gonna get involved with it.
But that's not the case. And it's

164
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:56.840
sad that there aren't enough laws on
the books, regardless of state or anything,

165
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:02.120
that has something concrete to let you
know, to protect those who are

166
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:07.720
victims of domestic violence, and a
lot of times they don't or won't do

167
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:17.320
anything until it's too late. And
that's sad that it takes someone being almost

168
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:22.559
unalived or being unlived in order for
the police to step in and do anything

169
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:33.039
significant about it. How does that
make sense? Why aren't there more laws

170
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:41.000
on the books in order for this? So that is why we have to

171
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.879
dur any election times. We have
to bring things like this up into in

172
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:52.559
our community forums, up to our
city councils, up to your DA's and

173
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:57.399
all you know, when they're being
elected, so that these particular so more

174
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:03.240
stricter laws and more concrete laws.
Let me say that more concrete laws can

175
00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:17.079
be possibly put in place to help
protect victims of domestic violence, because again,

176
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:26.480
it should not take something dramatic happening
in order for the police or the

177
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:40.039
courts to intervene. I'm sorry it
should not. So those who are victims,

178
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.480
do what you need again, do
what you have to do to get

179
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.440
away, or do what you need
to do to protect yourself. If you

180
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.759
have babies, do what you need
to do to help protect yourself and your

181
00:17:48.799 --> 00:18:00.119
babies. And I've said this before
and I'm gonna say it again, and

182
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.200
I mean this whole hearted cause again, if you nobody know, I'm not

183
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.599
a a violent person. I don't
a bore violence. I mean our bore

184
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.119
violence. I don't uh condone it
in any shape, form or fashion.

185
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:25.079
But for those of you out there
who are want to abuse people physically and

186
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:30.079
all, please run up on me
with your dig beaters up. Please run

187
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:37.039
up on me. I got something
for you. Hit me like you hit

188
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:47.240
that woman. Please do, please
do. Little boys, and I guess

189
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.119
I'm calling you little boys. For
those of you who your males out there

190
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.880
that that that seems to want to
do this, keep your hands off these

191
00:18:52.920 --> 00:19:00.599
women. You don't own these women. They're not your property. They are

192
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.400
not your property. Hear me when
I say this, and listen to me.

193
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:11.359
Well, they are not your property. For you grown boys, that

194
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.400
means that you all out that who
are are of age and who know better.

195
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.720
These women are not your property.
You know you, you know who

196
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.440
I'm talking about. You know who
I'm talking to. For those of you

197
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.799
in the sound of my voice right
now, who hear me, these women

198
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:42.000
are not your property. Keep your
hands off. They are not. For

199
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:47.319
those of you who are going through
all type of mentally and emotional abuse,

200
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.880
do what you can to get away. Know your worth and and and and

201
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.640
guard your peace, because that is
not love. That person can't sit there

202
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.440
and tell you that they love you
and they doing everything they can to hurt

203
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.160
you. Love is not supposed to
hurt. So if they're doing that to

204
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:11.039
hurt you, they don't love you. Be by yourself and have a peace

205
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.799
of mind and put up with that
type of foolishnance then because you do not

206
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:22.920
deserve that. You don't deserve that. So again, there are resources out

207
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.039
there. If you don't know how
to get away, there are resources out

208
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.680
there. There are support groups that
are out there that will help you,

209
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.799
that are on the Internet that will
help you get away if you need be.

210
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.480
But you do not have to be
put up with that. One thing

211
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:45.680
I'm gonna tell you that I taught
my daughters is never let no man or

212
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.440
let no person put you in a
position to make you feel like you have

213
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:53.519
to be with them, because you
don't be with that person because you want

214
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.799
to be them. No one has
the right to make you feel like you

215
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.119
have to be them because you don't. What a lot of them will try

216
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.640
to do is get you and put
you in a position that will take you

217
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:11.079
away or put a wage between you
and your support system that's you and your

218
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:12.680
family, you and your friends,
and those that are close to you.

219
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:17.920
They will draw weds between you and
them like that. That's their first thing.

220
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.799
That next thing is now to separate
you from them completely. That means

221
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:25.799
get you moved somewhere to where you
have that don't nobody, You don't know

222
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:30.000
nobody or anything of that nature.
So now they have you there to Now

223
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:34.759
you have no choice but to depend
on them. Now they have you because

224
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:37.200
now they have you in a position
that they can do whatever, and they

225
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.400
feel that they have their control over
you, and now you can't do anything

226
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.079
about it because you are in their
way or where they want you, and

227
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:55.640
you are now stuck don't let them
put you in their position at all.

228
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.640
Keep your circle close, keep your
sport system close. Don't now allow them

229
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:07.440
to separate you from your support system. No, of course, if it's

230
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.039
anything that's contrary to what for your
support system and those who truly love you,

231
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:12.960
and you know they truly love you, this person is not for you,

232
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:21.839
then that person is not for you. Don't let them do it.

233
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:32.960
Domestic violence, it has to go. It has to go. But it

234
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.079
starts with us, cousins and Ken
folks. It starts with us. We

235
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.640
have to be able to help look
out for each other because that is what

236
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.799
we do as a family, that
is what we do as a community,

237
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:55.880
and we are a community, all
right. I love y'all. I know

238
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.920
I kind of got it in and
I I may a start a rant to

239
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:03.279
get some particular point, but y'all
know you know me, You know I

240
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.559
bore that because the ki folks were
gonna get ready to get on the body.

241
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.519
Here again. We are back in
full swing. We will be back

242
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.039
on our We had three episodes.
You got three episodes this week. You

243
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.119
got three episodes this week. Cousins
and Ken folks, we'll be back on

244
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.960
our regular scheduled days next week Tuesdays
and Fridays, so be on the lookout

245
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:27.599
for it for those. For my
Spotify listeners, I'm not sure exactly what's

246
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.319
going on with Spotify. If you've
been having trouble you haven't been receiving a

247
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.799
podcast via Spotify. Something going on
with that, I'm not quite sure,

248
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.359
but hopefully we can have that fixed
soon. But again, you can listen

249
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:42.240
to us on all the other platforms
that wherever you listen to your podcast wherever

250
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:45.599
you get them, or just having
an issue with Spotify right now for some

251
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.359
reason, it's not accepting or it's
not being they're not being synced with our

252
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:55.480
newer episode, so they're not broadcasting
for some reason. So hopefully we can

253
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:57.880
get that figured out and fix soon. But again, you can still listen

254
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:03.039
to us on Apple podcasts, Google
Podcasts, Overcast, pocketcasts, Radio,

255
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:11.440
public castro Castbox, Dezer, the
Spreaker app, which is our our hosting

256
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.160
platform. You can stills on a
Spreaker app and also through our via our

257
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:25.799
website at www dot under construction dot
com. So just be mindful of that,

258
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.240
my Spotify listeners, So for right
now, you may have to move

259
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:33.559
over to something different in order to
catch currently under construction. So once we

260
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.039
have that issue fixed with Spotify,
I'll definitely update everyone. All Right,

261
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.039
all right, cousins ki folks,
I'm gonna get ready to get on the

262
