Random Talk Too

0:00 Welcome to the latest episode of your favorite podcast and mine, currently on the construction. You know who it is. I am your host, odest. Thank you so much with joining us today. It is Monday, February twenty eight. We are in the last day of the month, last day of black history month. But you know what I feel? To me that every day, for those that of us who are African American, we live black history month, each and every day the year, black history month, day, week and all are seven three hundred and sixty five. Nothing about to disagree with me. You're entitled to disagree with what this is. It's just my opinion. This is just how I feel, but I don't think we're defined just bout one specific month of the year to remember those that came before us, to remember those who have paved the way to some of the things that we take advant we take advantage for eating every day. You know the the accomplishments that they made. You know where the sacrifices that they made, where there was those in the civil rights movement, those who went through Jim Crow, those who had to deal with Shit that that the share cropper portion after slave with those who went through slavery those who paved the way for us to where we are right here today, to be able to who enjoy some

1:33 of the things that we do today or are the the advantages that we have today. We shouldn't have to let that be relegated to just one specific month out of there. That, yeah, the shortest month out of the year. It should be seven, three hundred and sixty five for us and to me and my mentality, that's how I feel, because I always enjoyed and look forward to paying homage to those who paved away for me, those who came before me, those who help school me, those who help mold me.

2:15 So so still, I'll give a shout out to all of those who I don't have the time to go up through room by name, but who have paved away for us here in black history month, to celebrate this month and we look forward to what's to come in the future. Man, at this weekend has been a rough one for you, boy man. I was like under the weather little bit and slept a lot. NOPE, they don't even sleep that much, but hey, you know what, it happens.

2:57 It happens, you know, but in much better spirit. It's you know, we back on track. I'm still learning this new equipment that I have. My soundboard came in, so I've been trying to learn and tweak things here and they're trying to get the just stuff of trying to get the hang over it. But you know me, I'm to take head. You know, I'm going to play with it till I get it, till I figure it out, till I get is to work like I needed to work and make it do what it do. So you know that's how I roll. But definitely loving it. It's going to be very advantageous force here currently under construction. It's going to give us the ability to do what we need to do to put the give you all higher quality of a podcast and up forward and coming forward with our video casting. It's going to give us the opportunity to take advantage of that and pump you out all some high quality content going forth. This Shar currently under construction here in two thousand and twenty two and I'm coming to two thousand and twenty three. God bless us to see it, but I'm I'm grateful to the Creator for the again this platform. I say it in every episode. I continue to say it because without him we wouldn't be here without him, we wouldn't have the opportunity to have this platform, to be able to speak with you all, to be able to interact with you all the way that we do here, currently under construction, and

4:28 to be able to, like I said, to crop out some really amazing content for you all, which we're going to get better and better at it, and I'm just honored to be in a position to do so. I really am, and I truly am, and I just I love what I do, I love podcasting, I love being able to speak with you all. I have a conversation with you all's like I said in last episode, this isn't just what just me talking and everything, this is me having a conversation with my community, a conversation with my friends, conversation with my family, conversation with my loved ones, because, again, you all knows what this what you all are to me. I initially was going to get into one of the topics that a couple of listeners of our, well several listeners of ours who are friends of the show, wanted us to touch base all.

5:26 I'm not going to get into it with this particular episode, but they are coming up today we're just going to be straight random. Tall you know, a lot of stuff going on in the world, a lot of stuff going on around locally, but for the most part, you know, I just want to take an opportunity to encourage you all. I just want to take opportunity to drop a bit of positive energy in your ears today going forward. That if nobody told you that they love you today, guess what, your boy old love you. I love you, and I tell you that I love you all the time, because I do love you. But I something was brought to my tension and I paid attention to that and I wholeheartly agree with it. We will all made and built to love, but it's a difference when you adding there to like a person. So, even though I do love you, I like you all also. So that's a huge advance. Add on to that, and I thought about it. I'm like, even in relationships, you can love your spouse, you can love that person that you with, you can love your friends, you can love your siblings, your mom and everything, but it's a difference when you like them because, see, when you like the person, then you enjoy being around them, you enjoy their company, you enjoy your interactions with them. You

7:00 enjoy whatever it is that you enjoy hearing from them, you enjoy of just doing things, just being around. I'm just just just a small little thing as you enjoy all of that, even if the two of you have a sped or a disagreement of whatnot, guess what, it comes right back. So I never thought about it, but that conversation we had it made me take a deeper and better look at it that. Hey, we were made and created to love. Loving is easy. It's easy to grow to love someone, but it's a complete difference when you like that person. Do you like your spouse? Do you like your girlfriend or boyfriend? Do you like your siblings? Do you like your coworkers? Do you like those that you call friends? It's a valid question and it's something I want you to think about. You can love them, yeah, again, that's easy, but do you like them? And I think that's something that we should all take a look at in life to further cultivating those relationships that we have. Like I said, well, that's without loved ones, whether it's with a coworker,

8:31 whether it's with family, spouse, whatever the case may be, children, whatever the case may be, it's take a look at that, because I think that if we can grow in that particular area, we can definitely continue to grow as people and again cultivate and those relationships to even higher standards. Just my opinion, just my opinion everyone, but I think you all feel me on that. So take a look at that. You never know, never know. I have a couple of interviews coming up with US sit down guests, that I'm really excited about, really looking forward to. I know it's been a while since we've had a sit down guest here on current down the construction. A lot of times when we would get it lined up, something would come up on their end, on my end, or we tried and we have technical difficulties or whatever the case may be. But that will no longer be the case. Like I said, with our new equipment that we have, will be able to bring you those interviews in their entirety.

9:56 Will be able to have multiple guests on even at one time, at one time and we be able to have a few sits im sit down interviews and be able to chop it up and have some great intellectual banner and with these people and I'm just excited about it. I'm excited to bring these to you all. Listen, even if you think you may not have nothing to offer, don't think that if, at any time, any of our lessens out there that you want to come in and have us sit down with me and have a conversation and discuss where they any topic of your choice or whatever the case may be. If you just wanted to straight chop it up with me, then hey, you know, reach out to us here, curl down the construction. You know how we do it. You know the other way to reaches. you can reach to the email at under construction one thousand nine hundred and seventy four and yahoocom. That is under construction. YOU INDER CON STR UK Tio n at Yahoocom, I mean one thousand nine hundred and seventy four at Yahoo TACO. But I would definitely love to hear from you all, though, to see what we can put together. But again, like I said, we have a lot of guests that are on the horizon.

11:20 One I'm really excited about to have US sit down conversation with this person. She was my very first guest in on our very first season of curly and the construction. I'm really looking forward to sitting down with her again and really chopping it up see what God's putting her hard for us and she has surprise for us. So definitely looking forward to that and sharing that with you all. We've already discussed the parameters and everything, so looking forward to that guest. Something else is on my mind that I want to just put out there. It doesn't cost anything to be nice to someone. It doesn't cost anything to share a positive word, it doesn't cost anything to give someone an encouraging word, a smile or anything. We are ready dealing with enough negativity in this world today. We are ready to dealing with that. The last thing that we need to do is bring more negativity among each other. That's

12:56 the last thing that we need to do people. So I want to encourage you to take a moment, whether it's a stranger, whether it's a loved one or the someone you see in passing, I want to encourage you to take a time, take a moment to give that person an encouraging word, to share a positive message, with a positive thought with them, just say hi and give them a smile, whatever the case may be. Let's take a moment to do that. You never know what that person is going through or what they're dealing with or how you just doing that at that particular moment will impact that life, not just on that particular day but going forward.

13:54 That's they may say. You know what, somebody actually took the time out of the day just to speak to me, just to say hello and just to ask me, am I okay? You never know how that a pack that person going forward, and that's something that I think we all should strive forth and doing. Now. I'm not saying that something that you have to do. I'm not trying to, you know, boguards you into doing anything like that, by by no means. But I'm asking and I'm encouraging you to do so because it costs nothing to do it. You know, I see you, I'll definitely do the same and it's something that I look forward to doing daily. That something that I strive to do. It's something that I that's that's in my heart to do. It something because it it's it's how I'm built. It's something that I used to see my mother do also.

15:09 You know, when my mom gave her life to God, my mom was already a nice person anyway. You know, she had her ways, and I don't give me wrong, now, my mom will cut you out with the best of them. So get me wrong. Well, mom, I had a tongue on, but she had a harder go help anybody, give you the shirt off of our back, give you a hot meal, make sure that you good. But when my mom gave her life to God, then my Mama began to care more about her community, care more about other folks. I mean she already did anyway, but just begin to take a moment to say, Hey, you know, are you okay? I just wanted to see when you were okay or you doing good, or just give you a smile, to give you this encouraging word here. And I began her to see her do more and more of that and it touched me.

16:11 It touched me in so many different ways because my mom took the initiative to do so. My mom wanted to make sure that what there was a stranger, where there was someone she knew, whether it was a church member, whether it was a family member or whatnot, she wanted to make that hey, they were okay and there was anything that any type of positivity that she could pour into them. She did that. She did that and she wanted nothing in return, she wanted no recognition forward or anything of that particular nature, and I loved every bit of it seeing her do that, and that became a mindset for me. You know that if I can uplift you, that I can give you an encouraging word, if I can give you a smile or pour something positive into your life, then that's what I want to do. Again, I don't want you know, I'm not looking for any encouragement, I'm not looking for a pat on the back or anything of that particular nature. It's just in me to do so, and I think the Creator for me having that mindset, having the heart to do so, having the willingness to want to do so and being obedient to him and me listening to that small voice of his or listening to the spirit to guide me

17:41 and me being obedient. I'm grateful for that. So I just want to encourage you all to to do that because again, we are ready deal with so much negativity throughout the day, so much negativity in this world that we see on the news, on social media and everything, and it's it costs nothing just to spread a little love, spread a little positivity. There's a song that I still love that came out in the late s s one thousand nineteen ninety, somewhere around there, by our group called take six, calls spread love, and it was song a Cappella. These brothers are very talented, six part harmony, and his brothers could sing. But that song touch me in so many different ways and it has a as a very deep message to it, basically saying that what the world needs now it's more love's what we need for us to spread love. Take a moment to listen to it.

19:03 You get a chance, Google it, find it on apple music, if you for by iphone users, those who listen to music through spotify, these or or I heart radio or any other music streaming platform. Check it out and you'll see what I mean. Take six spread love. Amazing Song, deep message. It's bread love, because the world, with the world needs right now. It's more love. It's what we need to each other most importantly, to ourselves. Definitely love. You tell yourself that you love you look at yourself in the marriage your star player and tell yourself that you love the daily I promise you. It up make all the difference in the world for you to tell you and know that you love you. All right, all right. Well, look, that is my time here for the day. Like I said, this wasn't just one of my topic episodes with a specific topic to it that I was going to go real deep into.

20:22 Today. It's just random talk, y'all. It was just random time to just be run in my mouth, but at the same time I'm trying to get used to this new equipment, you know. So next episode, later this week, we're going to definitely get into one of our typices. We're going to definitely get into dealing with a narcissist part two. Oh yeah, we're going to be going to be going to be going to delve into that. I've seen, seen and heard a few situations of people that I know that have dealt with arcissists, some are still dealing with them, and we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about more signs that you can see if you're dinner with a narcissistm not, and basically how to get away, how to move around, from dealing with these people. But Hey, I'm not going to deal in today.
