It is you know what I’m excited to be here.
What about you it’s another day, another blessed day to be on the Stafford? Show you get what I’m saying? No, I’m talking about man hey this look slowly, but surely she getting caught up in the H-Town sauce man, man for real man.
You know what I’m saying.
No idea I’m really liking the uh.
The title of this show today is uh, balancing life, love and fighting for a change Ring Side Chronicles the staff is short.
Man look, ladies and gentlemen, you know who I am I’m dick Stafford and I’m chilling with the host of the Stafford show, lady Stafford, okay, so listen! I’M gon na turn it over to Lady Stafford.
We’Re gon na get this thing going and we’re gon na get live with this.
You know what I’m talking about so check this out.
Everybody, the 15th was the day Alicia and Christina was the main fight, but I want to talk about Jermaine, Franklin and they’re quickly.
Replaced with munas it was a great fight and a matter of fact.
I like.
I have a lot of respect for Jermaine Franklin.
He actually fought back to back Anthony Joshua and Dylan white and he lost with those two fights.
Of course he was thinking about it and he wanted to make the improvements and he wanted to be better, so he continued on his training and on his path his journey right, so he was when I was listening to the press conference.
He was on point.
I actually enjoyed the press conference because they had some of the fighters on there.
It was just it was just good, everybody was respectful, they had, they said whatever it was, that they had to say and Jermaine Franklin, congratulations.
The only thing that I have with him is: he ain’t listened to his Corner, even though you won, because you had the right direct, the right, Jabs man, you had to jab to the chin, you had the um, the body shots and you just had his head.
Snap back Snapback and you won, but your team had told you to more so do the body that Gene really shouldn’t be concentrating with the head? You didn’t listen, so you pretty much did what you wanted to do.
I think that you should listen to your corner, but you won though, so that’s a good thing.
It could come back to haunt your next fight if you don’t listen to your Corners very important.
We had talked about that last time on our show about the importance of your team.
Yes, if you only go so far as big and productive your team, so if you surround yourself with a bad team, yeah you’re not gon na go far.
But if you surround yourself with a great team with that knowledge thing, so listen to your corner, man, you know what um man shout out to coach new staffer.
He had told me recently he uh, he went to a fight and his fighter didn’t listen to him and he just got knocked out.
Oh yeah, he got knocked off, it was, he was like amateur and pro it was two of them.
It was an amateur and a pro set man listen to me, and both of them did not listen to him and he end up.
They both end up losing the fight yeah.
The point of having a team.
A great team is because they have experience yeah and they have the knowledge, they have the expertise and they have high IQ yeah.
I mean last last bill boxing.
He said what is the point of paying your team if you’re not going to listen, I I totally agree with them.
Why you paying all that money? Because you know they’re getting piece of that bread yeah! You got ta missing, they’re, not going to tell you anything wrong.
No, they want to get paid, so they can get you another fight and another fight, yeah and another fight in another fight man.
We got to keep that bread coming in.
You guys really got ta listen, but let me tell you who fought and you all know that this is the dude Andy Cruz versus Carlos.
Now you know he thought Keyshawn Davis, but unfortunately he lost man.
I don’t care what anybody says about Andy Cruz.
Andy Cruz is that dude he moved from Cuba and now he’s in Philadelphia.
That’S the makeup boxing, that’s what they say.
Philadelphia say: if you want to get into the boxing industry, they say: go fight them boys from Philadelphia, because they said it’s a boxing club over every corner and that is no cappuccino: hey don’t slip on Andy Cruz, Andy Cruz.
He he’s he’s that one, oh and then, of course, you know Jermaine Franklin that was with the heavyweight division too Yeah Yeah.
So basically we had got a uh, a comment from one of our guests and last spell boxing that he was talking about.
Hopefully Anthony Joshua.
Will listen to his uh his Corner, his trainer um uh, Mr Derek James, which he received with uh trainer of the year yeah? Oh yeah, you see a trainer of the year, so we’re hoping that uh Anthony Anthony Joshua will definitely listen to Derek James because he has proven himself through uh Errol Spence man listen watching.
I was well yesterday when he was working on that thing.
Man listen.
I was watching the video that boy Earl, Spence and Bud Crawford man I like both of them.
This one is kind a hard with whom is going to.
I can’t even I don’t man, because I it’s like.
I know Earl like to hit that body, but then Crawford is just I don’t know man it just I like both of them.
I really do and I really like when they you know faced up in the uh press conference yeah and uh yeah.
He touched the Bell he said yeah.
I need that boy and he’s speaking that into existence.
I can’t I can’t see he touched that thing who am I going for either bud or Spence man? I might I don’t know this.
One for me is is hard, but some people – some people – have been saying Crawford man, I don’t know.
Oh last spell boxing, I don’t know, I don’t know why I’m going towards Terrence, though no I I can’t pick man.
I can’t even pick you last mailbox.
Are you going with Earl, okay, but I wouldn’t be surprised, though man, I don’t know man like that’s a lot on the line bro.
I probably end up changing my mind a little bit before the fight.
I just have to see boy now.
Why are you going? Why are you going with with Spencer last bell boxing? I know it’s gon na.
Take him a moment to.
I think, it’d be the same.
What from his last fight? No, he asked uh.
What do you think the weight difference will be on the fight night on fight night? I think it’ll be the same.
You know I I think them guys gon na be straight up.
I don’t.
I don’t think that it’ll be any type of discrepancy season.
Oh no, I know I think that they have too much respect about each other and too much respect about the crab and the sport of boxing to do anything dishonest.
Where Crawford look man, I ain’t gon na lie.
Man, Earl looked good, but when, when I was looking at him yesterday, I I mean they look the same though, because uh Earl didn’t slim down and and Crawford looked man.
He looked good.
I don’t know how Crawford was training, especially when he was using the sled man.
I was like that’s a different way to use a sled.
I I don’t know man there’s nothing bad.
I don’t think there’s gon na be any problems.
They know that this is going to be one of the this Legacy right here and that I heard when Spence was talking about yeah.
This, ladies, is talking about his legacy, so it’s like the fight of Our Generation right now.
That is true.
I agree with that.
It don’t even matter if, if I I don’t know, we will see because he was saying I think Spence will hydrate overnight and be a lot heavier.
I am not saying anything uh dishonest, since just the bigger fighter.
Naturally yeah.
That’S true, but I mean she’ll Crawford.
Didn’T face bigger Fighters, he didn’t face small Fighters, so we’ll see yeah man.
Listen, I ain’t taking nothing away from Earl, Spence man.
He is a.
He is fascinating.
To be honest with you and Crawford is I think he he.
He has a chip on his shoulder because you hear people chirping talking about this and that about the great things about Earl Spence but, like I say they both have mutual respect for each other.
So when you have mutual respect for each other, I don’t see a lot of that trash talking or you know, using profanity or disrespecting someone mother or you know anything like that.
They both respect each other, and I think that, because of this type of energy that they put now, I think is making people want to tune in more.
So I think the pay-per-views is going to go up.
It’S already sold out, so I just think that they’ve done a great job in marketing and they are demonstrating to the younger fighters that you can promote a fight without using all these nasty tactics and stuff like that to sell uh, your body will work, your character.
Will definitely sell and that’s one of the things that Custom, Auto talked about was character.
The character goes a long way.
Character gets you into doors that your your money can get you into.
So I just think it’s going to be a fascinating fight.
It’S gon na be a fish fry, oh, oh! So it was something that we had talked about last week right and you was uh.
So Last Bail boxing was talking about uh Jared Anderson and you remember.
You said that we was going to talk about.
Who is the next? Who is the next face of the heavyweight division in boxing, and so my wife she’s a big fan of Jerry Anderson, and I think that he has a lot of potential, but that last fight yeah, I I was kind of shaky.
I was like because I ain’t gon na lie that dude that he fought last.
It was a couple.
It was a couple.
It was a couple of moments in there where, where it it yeah, it could have went anyway, but but at the same time the heart and character of a champion Jared Anderson he pulled through and he won the belt.
But he got another fight coming up in August, which is is soon yeah.
I like, when these Fighters have multiple fights within the year, like let’s say you put on maybe about four or five fights because the older Fighters they used to fight all the time, and so I think that if you fight more, you get paid more.
That’S one thing, but I also believe that you give the fans what they want like we like to see their action.
We like to see this going on and so um.
It’S it’s a very fascinating Moment In Sport.
Boxing yeah Anderson’s, just gon na, have to tune in he’s he’s very flamboyant, though that’s one thing he’s somewhat flamboyant he just needs to.
I just need him to just really just tune in, and not it kind of reminded me of the time in 50 cents book where uh Floyd Mayweather was about to fight and and Floyd really wasn’t there.
He was just like oh yeah, yeah yeah and that’s what reminded me: yeah, yeah and then a 50 says something to him and he he just had to snap back and get back into reality.
So I think that’s what so baby last uh last bell fighting said that uh Jared Anson Jared Anderson.
If he go to UK, he gon na get oh yeah for real, oh yeah.
I think that it’s important for you as fighters to travel across the world because uh you will see a different type of determination in these Fighters like when you go to UK.
They fighting for their country, yeah they’re, fighting to win the the the boxing match, but they are fighting for they come.
I mean their country so make it more seriously.
Yeah man, it’s more passion like I just think I think now in America, in America Fighters.
I think we’ve sold social media uh, possessed that it has saturated our mind and we just don’t have that passion and we always consume about what people would say about us on social media, and I just think that you know uh America has so many distractions and Stuff, like that, you have so many people from all over the world, but in UK most of the people are from UK.
You know.
Yes, you have some people, that’s from different parts of the world, but I just you know I more support.
It’S it’s more.
In the UK there’s more support more support.
The sport of boxing is, it is what it is up there yeah.
They will never have a problem where nobody’s not going to show up.
No, and you know what to me when I, you know what what’s interesting.
It’S more respected, yeah.
The other thing is like the the boxes uh and the culture of boxing in UK is like blue collar.
You know what I mean: it’s like uh, hard work, hard worker dedication.
Those are the type of Fighters that the the fans yeah.
You know what I’m saying the underdog uh: they love to see great Fighters and stuff like that.
So I I totally agree – and another thing about UK – is that they support the women boxing.
Oh man, Hey, listen, uh! I can’t remember her name, but she told Clarissa come on back over here: Clarissa Jonas yeah, but but Clarissa Black come on to the US, but then she was like well shoot.
If I come to the US, oh yo, you’re talking about Savannah Marshall, yeah yeah yeah yeah, I ain’t gon na get paid, but I but I agree with her, though at the same time I mean I know that we want it here, but you want to get Oh man, hey, hey last bell, boxing, listen man, you are saying, I can’t see, I’m I’m translating baby come on.
I got you so he was like the atmosphere inside the stadiums are electric and I man I you know what that’s on the bucket list.
That’S on the bucket list, because man, when y’all, be singing them songs.
Man I mean you can feel the vibration coming through the screens, but it’d be like whoa.
Oh man, listen! I’M talking about man, y’all be singing the the country uh Banner uh, the anthem um.
I mean man, it just goes down man up in the UK man.
I love it.
I love this man for real.
We don’t do that here.
No man, we don’t they be having like the rappers man.
Listen now over there, UK man them boys be standing like this here and they and man you hear the crowded, [ Applause ], I’m talking about the crowd, just be now Mexico.
Now they do now now now now they come with it too.
Now I ain’t gon na lie: don’t folks in Mexico, Mexico they they come with it, that’s because they all support each other.
In the UK they support each other, it’s like their family and then in Mexico.
They support each other and their family.
It’S like there’s! No separation and they’re always helping somebody now with all due respect to the to the African-American Fighters.
Here in the U.
S yeah, I do a great job selling out, but when you go to Mexico and UK now you may sell out 15 20 25 30.
, but over there they pushing how many 80.
, how many minutes O2 Arena – I don’t know, but 80 000 boy.
That’S a lot of people, man, eighty thousand, just man.
I can’t I don’t know um hey how you doing blessings.
Thank you.
Stop it.
What happened? She told my Frank Martin, who won the fair in the Square? Stop it stop it.
Oh Frank, Martin Captain Crunch, I don’t even want to talk about that.
I don’t even know what even happened to me.
Yeah, okay, look y’all! Oh baby.
She said.
Oh I’m sorry.
He say it’s like 220 000 in the O2, but there ain’t nothing like them.
Folks, up in UK boy, they pushing on the hunt down a honey bun for real.
I do want to see uh.
Oh baby, we going that’s, that’s one of the things that we’re going to do on The Bucket List, we’re going to UK and we’re going to one of the major major major uh fighting events.
I just want to experience man.
I I man just put me up at the top, so I could just see everything I don’t necessarily have to be at the bottom court side.
Uh excuse me ringside or anything like that.
Just put me up at the node leap where I just want to feel the vibration of be like man.
Look at this here and I’m gon na tell you man, listen them Fighters up in Africa, man.
They just need an opportunity man, because I man listen man.
I I think some of them Nigerians give you a run for your money.
Bro, oh yeah, I ain’t gon na lie: bro they’re training.
I ain’t gon na lie man and then the thing about it is they’ll Train by themselves.
Man for real man, I’m I’m and then the conditions in Africa too man they make something they can make something out of nothing.
Man, and I I just think that the fighters in America just too spoiled bro, gotten comfortable.
You got comfortable bro, you got comfortable bro, but I will say about this: the fight with Alicia and Christina congratulations.
Alicia.
Let me tell you something that young lady.
She said what she said.
She she said what she was gon na do and she did it.
I do see a major improvement with Alicia.
I really do baby that girl that girl’s feet was.
I can almost feel some of those punches that she was throwing and I like the way how she’s changed and it’s kind of like Eddie Hearn, is grooming.
Her somewhat Alicia, oh yeah, yeah, it’s all love here, man.
We just want you to understand that you on a big platform and not nothing um.
Oh you on a big platform, and you are a black woman and you pretty much is the face of boxing.
So you are a role model to a lot.
Yeah! Congratulations! Yes, you wan na! She won the Espy, congratulations Clarissa! I you know! Every time I see you on social media.
I press the heart button.
I like it.
You feel me, but you on an amazing platform and you have an opportunity to transform the woman uh.
Excuse me the sport of boxing for women.
I mean from long long after you stop fighting right and so how you carry yourself and what you do now.
I’M not telling you what to do because you’re a grown woman, you can do whatever you want to do, but just be mindful that you are a role model and for us we just you, know rooting you on, because we understand your past and we understand where You at so we want to celebrate you, so this is not a show where we hate on nobody.
We don’t hate on nobody.
I think think in today’s time, when the ogs tell the Young Folks things that they see not only in the natural, but in the spirit you say that I mean Hayden.
No one is hating, I’m I’m not hating on no one, I’m celebrating you.
If we see something – and we say hey is it is something up in the head ahead of you, you need to.
You need to tighten up it’s it’s because we care that’s.
Why we speak out – and we say things not to throw you under the bus not to slander your name or anything like that, because at the end of the day, you’re a black woman and US black man me, I I protect our black women that just no Cappuccino: hey and also um Alicia right, you said: um, okay, Alicia called out Serrano, Katie and Cameron.
So I would like to know what what what are y’all gon na do like seriously? What are they going to do? I’M gon na tell you with Serrano, oh boy that is gon na, be in being one out of all three of three in all all out brawl.
You hear me Serrano what you gon na do KD knock, knock she knocking on the door Cameron.
What’S up, I I want to see all three of them, because I’m gon na tell you ain’t nobody gon na take those bells from Alicia.
I could just let you know right now, because that girl she is tuned in and she ain’t going nowhere.
She ain’t even stepping outside that line.
You see these lines right here, baby.
She ain’t stepping out those lines.
I thought you know what I I have another favorite.
I like Alicia, okay, but I want to tell you that uh last spell stand.
Our last spell boxing said that if, whenever we go to UK, he got to connect, you know the plug to get us some seats into the fights.
Okay appreciate it.
Thank you, yeah see how favor works, see, how character is see when people see your character and they see what you stand for and how you go about doing things.
Man they’ll support, you they’ll bless you.
So we already got a blessing UK and we ain’t never been to UK, not yet, but when we get there, it’s going down for real it’s going down.
Man uh, she said Alicia versus Serrano, that’s a hell of a fight, I think so too yeah that’s gon.
Na be an all-out War, if that’s a brawl, because both of them too they’re they’re endurance and then the thing with the fight with Alicia that she just had, she didn’t use any unnecessary energy.
She didn’t like Christina.
She was going like this and I’m like Chris B, say: uh come to Mangolia: oh Mongolia, uh man, okay, whatever! As long as we get there, you show us, you know what to do and show us.
Some love give us some tickets, so we can see.
What’S going on, bless us with some tickets and show us where to eat we like to eat clean, so I want to eat.
I like a good salad and I don’t eat.
Well, we don’t eat crab.
Lobster red, snapper and and salmon are like my favorite fish, but I love a good salad with some uh man with some man baby.
You know what so on my birthday, I went to a Cheesecake Factory and they had a barbecue Ranch bro.
When I tell you that that barbecue ranch dressing was amazing, it was fantastic it I haven’t tasted anything like that.
I love salads and I love um.
I love some good water.
Speaking of water, I, like all you, can eat yeah.
I just like to go to the all you can eat, because I feel like this.
I want to walk out full, not overly full, but I want to be full and satisfied and just sit there and just take my time and eat yeah.
I so last bell.
Uh boxing, what what’s uh? What’S? What’S a I mean like uh? What’S the favorite dish, because every country has different, you know cooking tastes.
So I I don’t know what UK is known for.
I got ta do some research but uh.
I love a good salad man.
I love a good salad, some good water and I do have a sweet tooth.
I mean listen, my wife.
He does not have a sweet tooth.
He has sweet teeth, listen, hmm yeah, you sweet too, but anyway uh.
I I man, I don’t know man.
I love me like uh Sprouts got these peanut butter cookies man, they’re vegan and, like I swear like I bite into one and I’ll run through by six before and then.
If I asked for one he’s looking at me like negative, crazy negative, just one negative, but can I tell y’all something real quick though oh bro, but tell them how wait a minute? No because we’re trying to hear all that, but we’re not going to talk about when I have food right and he has food, but then he has to eat my food or my.
If I get a dessert, you have to eat my dessert or if he drinks all of his drink, he’ll, drink all his drink and then drink.
My dog on drink, listen, man shout out to my boy, Stevie bags, man.
I see him doing his thing on Country Wayne, man, I’ve been listening to this brother man, he you know, I mean we might.
I mean we may not agree on everything, but I I just like what he’s doing like he’s.
A very confident man is that which one is that the one who Erica works with yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah? He and I ain’t gon na lie.
So let me tell you how I met him, so me and my wife.
We just finished doing the spin, so we were sitting on the stairs at LA Fitness.
Oh I got to talk about that too.
I’M so glad you brought that up.
No, but I’ll be doing oh! Not! Now, though, no you got ta wait till you put the ink on you got ta put the ink on it.
First, you got them.
Listen.
One thing I’ve learned in my life before you get running off at the mouth, make sure that you put that signature on that agreement because I didn’t seen it.
I didn’t experience what you was speaking stuff, even though you speaking life to the situation.
But you don’t speak until you have it in writing, and you put that so anyway, me and my wife.
We have finished uh taking the spin class and so man I’m sitting on the stairs.
So he walked past with these big old, like these uh, some ski ski glasses.
You know talking about them, big ones.
I said man how you gon na walk around here man behind some glassy things somebody gon na see, so he bust out laughing so man we just started chopping it up and uh man.
The brother just had a good spirit.
Man we just started talking, and so I told him man I said, look bro.
I I don’t want to talk about me.
Let me celebrate you and see.
That’S the difference between me and most men.
I’M gon na celebrate you.
I don’t even want to talk about what I got going on.
I want to celebrate you because it’s your moment and see that’s the that’s the a sign of a confident man and that sign of a great leader that loved to see people shot like.
I really love to see people shine like if you don’t support me or celebrate me, I’m cool, but I’m gon na celebrate myself and I know what I’ve been through and I’m gon na celebrate.
When I tell you, I’m gon na celebrate when, when I bait and and walked in this door, that I’ve been working on for a long time, looks uh.
Look I’m gon na celebrate myself man.
So let me tell y’all another thing that happened this morning, man, so I had called my mother and uh just to check up on her and stuff like that man and man.
My mama told me man, she was proud of me.
Bro like like for fear, shouted like for real man like that that right there just she said she said baby, I’m so proud of you.
I mean I am super super super super proudly and man.
It took a long time for my mother to say that to me because the way I am I’m not a traditional dude like I, I have a vision and I’m gon na go after it, and even if it cost me my life, I do what I’m gon Na do I’m gon na give my life for it, but at the time my mother, she was like nah, you know, but I think over time, she’s seen like my achievements and so the achievements she began to see like gave her like.
Oh man he’s doing it and she starts seeing things around in the community, and my mother have seen what I’ve gone through in my personal life and seeing the overachieving things that I’ve done and so man.
She finally told me man, my mama man, my tea lady, to T Jones bro.
She said man.
She was proud of me for a night man that felt so good for you T Jones to say that to you, man, you feel me like so, and I heard uh Killer Mike, he was uh talking.
He was promoting his new album and I haven’t heard a lot of the music, but I do like Killer Mike.
I like his intelligence.
I, like um the fact that he’s a married man I like about his ability to collaborate with the old school guys and absorb that knowledge and be able to convey it to the Youth of today.
So I respect them on that level, so he was talking and um.
So one of the things he said was he said man I had.
I was doing something and I had got a call and they said my mama passed away and, and it was like it was, it was like hey man, my mama gone bro, and so he was talking about like man.
If you have issues with your your T Jones, you know hey man go ahead and make that phone call man go ahead.
Talk, you know, call your mother, because you know that’s one of the hardest thing that he had to do was bury his mother and he was like man.
I got to be strong for myself for my family, for my kids, you know for my wife and everything like that and he he said something that kind of like touched.
My spirit was like you and your T Jones may not have the best relationship, but man call and check up on her man, and so one of the things about me that I pride myself on.
I pride myself on listen to the Holy Spirit, brother.
The spirit of God, so if the Holy Spirit say hey man do this, do that I’m gon na? Do it I’m gon na? Do it I’m not gon na second, I’m gon na.
Do it because one of the things that I’ve I’ve studied now – and I read it in my Bible – it teaches me that the reason why Abraham prospered was because he listened to God and that’s something that a lot of people don’t listen to is is listen to.
God, man, I’m about to say something man.
I heard this preacher say something man.
He said he said something man and man.
That’S I ain’t gon na say nothing: [, Music, ] man, I’m so sick of these black preachers, just misleading, not people, man and not realizing man.
When you stand before God, bro you’re gon na have to be accountable for that man and man, I’m so sick of our people not reading for their own, so that when a charismatic leader – oh, I won’t even say a leader but a person, who’s charismatic, and he May know the word of God and he have and he or and he may have gone to school, to get a PhD in Theology and stuff like that, and you know it’s it’s sad man.
It says that, like so many you know it kind of reminds me of the book that I read miseducation of a negro by Carter G Woodson.
And if you don’t know about this, this gentleman, this scholar, he dedicated his life to understand the African-Americans.
And when I tell you that this man wrote this book like in back in the 1900s, it’s the stuff that he was saying then is is relevant now, and I see it it’s like.
If you can control a person mind, you ain’t got to tell them to go to the back door.
They’Ll go back on their their goal.
They would go and sit at that back door and wait on you, man and that’s how I see like our people like the mine bruh.
You know what I’m saying like that man and I’m so grateful man for everything that God is doing for me.
Man, like I’m a blessed man, I really haven’t.
I have a beautiful wife I have my own podcast show the Stafford show.
I got a lot going on and I’m I’m grateful, and so I heard something too.
They said bad news will travel faster than good news before Jesus help.
Me you hear me baby bad news would travel faster than good news things.
So it’s a lot of good things that I see people doing in the community, but you don’t hear about it.
But let someone do something bad and that will travel faster and that’s the thing that our community and our society has a thirst for its negativity.
So in this negative world you know, I just pray that me and my wife and what we got going on while we’ve been allowed this time to be in the land of the living, can do something very extraordinary so that when We Dead and Gone our Legacy Live on the people who we Inspire will do the things that we instilled in them to do, and and and that’s the part that I’m excited about life, and so my favorite author, Robert Greene.
He talks about immortality and a lot of people run from that.
A lot of people don’t Embrace immortality, immortality means death, means the ending and I’m not going to go on this marketing campaign about that.
But what I am saying is that if you can Embrace that and accept that, because sometimes a lot of people only like to talk about that, but man reading that man book and reading the word of God and reading the other books that I’ve read, I mean I am so free and so happy and so at peace with with life.
Now I’m not to say that things not gon na happen, because as long as you live in things, gon na happen, but man I’m just.
I feel like I’m at a point in my life, where, even if a tragedy comes, I think that I can still be able to control my emotions and my way of thinking to allow me to make the right decision instead of making the wrong decision that will Affect everything I worked hard for in my life, so I’m very grateful for that and one more thing before we get on because you know we talk about balancing life, so that was the Life part, and so the love part so me and my partner uh a Couple of days ago this weekend we was talking and man.
I love my partner.
He know who he is.
I ain’t gon na say his name.
I mean I really love him, but when I say I love a person, I I mean that, and I don’t use that word lightly.
I don’t just throw it around like it’s just an average word that word when you say you love a person, it’s a lot that comes with that, but anyway, and the thing about it me and this person never kicked it outside of the place that we always See each other anything like that, this person is very successful man.
He he making money he’s intelligent.
I mean he’s a sharp dude, I mean he he you know, I see me and him, he see him and me you see I’m saying we just we confident dudes like we.
You know we know who we are, but anyway, so man, you know there are a lot of good men out here.
Man so rid a lot of it’s a lot of good men out here and what I’ve been hearing lately is.
You know it has become normal.
Now or the thing to do where you’re married to your husband and your husband is providing uh, the luxuries of Life he’s trying to be there, and I know that it’s more to life than providing you know a home, paying bills and stuff like that.
But man, my friend, was telling me about man how some of these dudes wives cheated on the man – and you know he’s just tougher like I’ve been in this situation like that, you feel me.
So I’m not speaking, I’m I’m speaking from an experience like man.
It’S crushing you know, but but it’s not about me it’s about the situation.
If you women have a man, that’s really trying to provide for you and he’s trying to give you a comfortable life.
He’S gon na be away from the house because, like my boys, say man, you got to get out there and mingle with the devil man.
You know you got to.
You got to get out there mingle with folks you you got to, and if this man providing you put you in the million dollar home every two years, you trade in your car, your your Mercedes-Benz, you get a new one.
You don’t have to work.
He paid for this he paid for that I mean you live in a life that most women dream of and as a man that’s on both sides.
Now I’ve been that victim and I’ve been on the other side.
So I’m not, you know, just understand, I’m I’m a real one.
When you make a decision to to to go outside your marriage, you not only hurt the man that you heard from the kids bro and let me tell you that dude who finesse you out your panties and and and you gave him the key to the jewel Box, the treasury box, the box, that’s full of goodies like he really don’t like it.
It’S it’s a it’s a feather in his hat, because now The credibility has gone.
You know like the dysfunction of the home, so you were saying well, you wasn’t doing this and you weren’t doing that doing that this this this to be that selfish.
At the end of the day, you wasn’t thinking about the family.
You were thinking about you.
You know and when kids see, that bro and sometimes them kids hold grudges they’re like Mom.
I remember when you, when you did this like and now the family has been divided, because the enemy comes to, kill, steal, destroy and divide a home, because it wasn’t necessarily about you.
It was about the unity of the family.
If I can divide that family, I know that those kids percentage of succeeding in life drops tremendously, and that goes for men too.
You know I mean it’s not going to talk about the women, I’m talking about men too man.
If you got a wife at home, stop comparing them to the the women on social media and all that other type stuff bro.
That’S cap, bruh! It’S cat, bro, you’re gon na put yourself in a lie because one thing that you that you eliminate once you start doing that or Mercy you, you remove God’s hand on your life, so the things that you think you’re doing on your own.
It’S not that it’s because you married and the favor God is on your life so that you can be a provider for your family.
But when you start got down on me getting into that honey instead of getting that money, then that anointing is removed.
Our hands removed so now you start getting attacked, then start taking this from you.
Taking that taking this your health start getting affect your financing, you know what I’m saying now you seeing your wife blossoming looking good and then she getting.
You feel what I’m saying by someone else and they’re gon na hurt you bro and in this and it’s like it, ain’t worth it.
I don’t think if a man cheats on on his wife, I don’t think the woman should cheat.
No, I don’t think nobody should be cheating period Well, I know that.
But what I’m saying is it’s gon na happen so and it’s just vice versa.
At the end of the day, it’s it’s destroying our families bro.
It really is, and I’m gon na tell you the truth, one of the most difficult things things that I ever faced was uh.
This blended family thing bro it just don’t work out.
Bro I mean well.
Let me tell you something it it’ll work.
Let me it’ll work out, but if you have family that is not supporting you and then they’re talking about the mother and then they’re talking about the husband and telling the kids that you don’t have to listen and then doing or saying certain things.
Then it’s not going to work out and it’s it’s crazy because it’s like take take.
This is an example.
You have a woman right.
That’S working has kids and she’s trying to do her best.
She made mistakes in her life, but now she’s not about that life.
She wants a better life, she wants a new life, she wants to be a new person.
She wants to be a better person right.
Then you then the the husband finds you.
So everything is in order, there’s nothing out of order, and then you all get married.
Now, when you are out of your parents house, it’s going to be somewhat challenging, because now you got bills both of you all have bills that you have to pay and then especially, if you have a man in your life, that wants to be a part of Your children’s life not trying to be the dad not trying to be the step dad, but just be a positive role model in the children or the child’s life right.
Then there’s a change going on a more of a positive change towards the wife and and families can be very.
Very toxic.
Families can tell one side of the story and not even tell the whole story, or they can tell bits and parts of it to make.
You look bad and then they look like they are just the best thing on this Earth and then you have family that doesn’t even talk to you because of what’s already been said, but then that family who doesn’t mess with you, doesn’t even stay in the same State or city, but doesn’t bother to call out of any type of concern or even being nosy, but wants to say a little smart words or whatever and just be totally disrespectful of it.
And then the thing about it is the kids when they have it good, meaning.
Okay, say if you have a man in your life and all he’s doing is just giving not only positive energy but just saying what needs to be said.
Yes, stay in school.
Your education is important this this this this this this and then you have family that tells the the husband don’t tell him that so, okay, baby, okay, I agree with you on that.
I’M I’m! That’S! That’S what makes it that’s, what that’s one of the biggest reasons why it doesn’t work because, but you remember it doesn’t tell the truth.
Okay, that’s that’s! That’S one example, but this is another example.
Do you remember when we was watching this dude and he said that uh he came into this woman life, oh with the wedding, yes, and so he has taken care of someone else dog raised her up, providing her this this this.
So when it came down, so he didn’t done this for like 10 15 years right, so the young lady about to get married, they having a wedding the wedding reception, everything at at his house right, so when they were planning the wedding he was excluded.
You know who the father and daughter dance was to the Natural fault, so it goes back to what I’m saying it’s like, no matter what the man is doing, he can be treating the their mama right through paying bills, giving them this that, at the end of The day that that that connection in terms of like okay, this is my daddy yeah, but you not my daddy.
That’S gon na always be like an issue.
It may not arise in the beginning, but down the road.
It’S gon na happen.
You’Re gon na have now there are exceptions, but most of the time you have these type of situations where men have poured their whole soul into these kids and to the point that the mother may not support um the man and so the kids don’t respect the Man, you know, and that was something that me and my you know me and my friend were talking about how you know some.
You know these women, some women, I’m not saying all, because I don’t want you women to come, but I don’t I don’t care about that.
But anyway is why we live in an era where now you know when you say submission right.
I ain’t submitting to no man, I ain’t mean who ain’t got it up and you know man.
I am so proud of women all over the world.
Uh black white asian Hispanic, it don’t matter, y’all, have come together.
Y’All have worked hard to shatter that glass ceiling to to create opportunities to be able to uh not knock on the door but be able to sit at the table and make those decisions that affect our community and our government.
Local Government Federal Government Banks, uh professional sports corporations, law firms – judges – I mean just just all around, but if you talking about having a successful marriage to a man, you guys both have to submit to each other.
You can’t let you know the the worldly things that is quote unquote.
Normal uh affect how God ordained things to happen.
Like I submit to my wife, I ain’t got no problem with that.
She submit to me, but we submit to each other.
It’S not an ego thing and I think that it has gotten to a point where women have egos.
Now you know I’m equal as you and you know, so it caused confusion and not knowing that man, that’s cow, you you you, you got lost in the sauce and that affected your mind to what’s really important.
What’S really important, like man, I want to grow old with someone.
I want to make sure that my kids have an example of how a woman should treat her husband and how a man should treat his wife.
But if you can’t give them that example, then they pull it from other things when they should pull from the home, and so that’s my my take on it.
I stand on business on it and I mean what I say: I’m not changing it and what the word told me, I don’t roll with that.
You feel me because this year me and my wife, we celebrate 15 years of marriage and I’m and I’m hatefully and I can honestly say I’m I’m happily married and there’s no cappuccino.
I live in Atlanta, it’s like a hundred to one, but none of that means nothing because man, I’m good, I’m good.
At some point.
Men have to become mature and have some discipline, you don’t have discipline in your life, you’re not going to be successful, bro and any any yeah.
I I say man.
I got so much in me that I just gave spurts and spurts but uh.
I want to talk about Wednesday for the kids yeah and I want to say.
Let me tell you this, since you were talking about this, I wanted to write this down to make sure that I say a word from word so Charleston Charleston white said a man can’t be happy when they have to be faithful to one woman.
I don’t know about that.
Charleston, since you know yeah.
I heard him say that Charleston white – now I ain’t gon na lie bro you, you very controversial me and you both got something in common, that we vote and byproduct of TYC Texas, youth commission and we both had an opportunity to experience TYC a long time ago, When you can use the system to get yourself together, so I understand a lot what you say, because I’m from Texas I’ve been out there, you feel I’m saying I’ve been in trouble, but that right there I I don’t agree with you, because we can always agree To disagree without you know talking disrespectful to one another, but I do admire your boldness summer things.
You know what I mean like.
I said we can agree to disagree, but a lot of stuff that you do say I do agree with it, but that one I I don’t I don’t agree with because um I don’t have that type of uh.
I don’t have that in me.
I don’t want to hurt my wife to just see like I.
I violated that bond that Covenant that trust it’s the her crime.
No, I don’t want to go through that and then I love her.
You know so, when you get married to a woman, you love her.
You know, and and I love my wife and so I want to hurt her and I like what we got going on and it’s nothing that a woman can do for me that my wife can’t do for me, and another thing is that I I don’t trust Nobody, I trust, my wife, so we always get her eyebrows.
All yesterday, so dude said you got ta have four friends I said: well shoot.
I only got one but the mother.
Three is the father son, the holy spirit, so that make up folks over there.
The old my full friend, because I know what my wife gon na do me and her was sleeping in the car.
We were out there.
We was out there.
I know what she gon na do.
I know what she gon na you’ll know what a person would do under extreme hardship and pressure and we’ve been through it and so slowly, but surely we see God blessings.
