Speaker 1: 1:34

Yo, yo, yo yo. What's happening? What's going on? I am Layla, the most here with Chief Ali. Welcome to another episode. Permission to speak freely. What's happening with you, man? Man, I'm good today, man, I got a lot on my heart and my mind that just was going on in the world. Man, I want to dive right on into it today, man. Let's let it off, man. So let's talk about this. Carly Russell. Situation Seems that she's finally had her team speak out and it seems that a lot of us had prayed for the wrong person this time Wasting prayers.

Speaker 1: 2:09

Most definitely, man, I'm glad that she is safe. I'm glad that it wasn't anything that was. She had nothing to not be safe from. You say that for people who was in danger. Oh, I'm glad you say that's true. You say that for Rose, when they saw her at the end of the Titanic movie, I'm glad you say.

Speaker 1: 2:25

You say that to Stoney, after she done robbed seven banks in fucking Southern California, stoney, I'm glad you say Glad, you say I am. I tried to. You know, we tried our best to give the benefit of the doubt, especially knowing that it is a lot of women of color that are being trafficked. Say that shit. So it's insulting now, thank you. It's insulting now of like, hey, baby, out of 100%, do not know what you were going through. Yeah, but my heart goes out to you. However, you got to stand on this one of hey, however, quit fucking playing. You playing it's women and children who go missing every day.

Speaker 1: 3:13

Yeah, that didn't make it to national news. Yeah, right, it's using up the resources, you know, like taking attention away from shit that's really going on Out here playing. I think that is hurtful. It is hurtful, it's hurtful man and I hope that she does get the help that she needs mentally, emotionally. I hope that, whatever she seek to do, she actually has some resolution with it, that it's some issues, that they were resolved for her and that she didn't start or make more issues by trying to potentially gain attention, if you will. Yeah, man, I hope that she understands the severity of this situation and that, it being something that you can't just walk away from unscathed, she may possibly be serving like a good 30 to 90 days or something, something. Yeah, I seen that she had lost her job. I seen just she had lost her job when I worked today. She lost her job. It just brought too much attention to her workplace yeah, along with other things that can potentially crumble behind her, which I hope that it doesn't. Man, overall, like man, she's still a beautiful black woman that needs assistance, she needs love, she needs grace.

Speaker 1: 4:40

However, in this situation, whatever she was looking for, she went the incorrect ways of finding it, went the wrong way and gained national notoriety. To have to turn around and tell the nation amen, amen, yeah, never mind my bad, I was having a sucker attack that day. Oh man, I had a clean sucker attack. I was trying to get some attention from something somewhere and it didn't pan out the way that I wanted. All this extra came to me and I'm sorry y'all. I'm sorry America. That's about as good as she can get. I'm sorry America. I'm sorry America, but I do feel like man.

Speaker 1: 5:18

Some type of a year probation, 18 month probation, yeah, fine, you got to go do some community service for like two, three years for women who are actually survivors of abduction, kidnapping, domestic violence yeah, man, it's serious shit. Man. Things that happen, it should happen. Man, I'm not a big apology guy, like I'm giving apology, but I'm not a big you. You owe me an apology, I'm not. I want an apology. I want an apology where she crying she, her mascara running snot, she bringing up other traumas that ain't got nothing to do with what's going on with, like Vincent, so you understand, because, like you said, chief man, this shit is really, really happening to people out here. I wasn't going to say women and babies, but this shit happening to people out here. You know what I'm saying and you playing, you playing like a mother man, but that's it with her. Man, carly, get the help you need. We wish you well here, at Permission to Speak Freely Be better, please Be better, please Be better. Man moving right along. Man.

Speaker 1: 6:23

So Brownie James, man had a little, a little heart situation Happen, a little heart today. I mean, you know he, he's bouncing back pretty quick. Man, you know they was able to keep it under wraps. I believed we're getting the news today. I believe USC did a good job keeping this under wraps for at least 24 hours.

Speaker 1: 6:44

I believe this might have happened yesterday, maybe, maybe even the day before, but um, but whenever it happened, man, you know our young kids, young adults, are Having hard issues. I don't know what's the blame. I don't know if it's the vaccination that has been forced upon us. I don't know if it's something in the food, but it ain't really like. This just happened to Ronnie James.

Speaker 1: 7:12

The variety that comes around it, oh shit, our young is are having heart attacks, and usually that's something for, you know, older folks. When we think about things like this. You know, right, this is happening to our young folks, man, not to you know, just young folks is having heart attacks, man. I don't know what the issue is, man, but we definitely wish a brownie, james. Well, speedy recovery, man, I'm, you know you're gonna be fine, man, but, uh, you know, young, healthy and people, athletes, man, they typically have strong hearts, which is sometimes a cause of why this is why this is happening. You know, I'm not a medical professional, not gonna pretend to be, but, um, yeah, definitely shots after him and the whole James gang. Man, get better, for sure, for sure, man. Well, want him to get better as a parent who has Children, who has played sports at the time Not to the magnitude of brunney james, when he's pretty much like his father, man, they are one in a generation type of athletes that, yeah, um, conditioning is the way of life for them. Every day they're getting up and preparing to take it to the max. So Exhaustion could have played a huge part in it. Yeah, him, graduating high school, going right into USC, right into Some of these veteran players that have grown men, bodies.

Speaker 1: 8:34

Yeah, you hear all the speculations of even negative things that, hey, man, they didn't juice them on up with something that was a little too strong. Man, nah, it was here. You hear. You hear all kind of things. Man, biggest thing is that somebody's baby. Yeah, that's somebody's child. You can speculate anything negative you want about the parents, the families, whatever, what not, but that's somebody's baby.

Speaker 1: 8:58

And you don't really understand that. Until you get to see your child in a situation where you can't, man, you're, you're powerless and defenseless to what's going on, it ain't nothing you can do now. Nothing you can do is mess on hearts and prayers, go out to the James game, push up taco Tuesday, and it is Damn taco. You said what? I'm just making light of it, man, I'm gonna taco brownie, lay off the taco, lay off the tacos that got grease them built the jalapenos and all that stuff. Man, but Um, speedy recovery to him.

Speaker 1: 9:36

Speedy recovery to the mental that comes behind. That is more than just the physical of our fellow K is. You know it's a mental and emotional rebound as well. No pun intended, but, um, moving forward, man, I got some questions a little bit today, man, just some, some um, I got some man, some things that we were talking about, man, so I gotta I got a controversial question. So so I'm nervous.

Speaker 1: 10:02

The controversial question, or topic, I'll say, is ideas versus decisions. And I came up with this by way of talking to wifey one day and I was just kind of giving her my thoughts Vinting, if you will, just being verbally expressive, and I'm just telling her what I was thinking about doing. Like hey, I got, I was starting thinking about this, I was thinking about that, so on the so forth. You know, she just kind of let me vent, listening to me. About a week or so ago she came to me and was like hey, I thought you were Getting ready to do x, y, z, yeah, and I'm so, oh, no, that was just uh, you know, I was just thinking about I haven't made a decision on it, I was just having some ideas, spitball, yeah, if you will. So that led to a series of hey, I thought you were gonna do this and do that. I'm like hey, that was just an idea. I didn't say I was, I was. These are just the idea. I'm thinking out loud of Plans, of procedures, of different things that I want to do. I haven't made a decision on it yet.

Speaker 1: 11:04

So that brings me to the, the controversy of ideas versus decisions. Do you understand them both? No, me, I definitely understand. My wife and I. We have a few ideas that we bounce off each other back and forth. We should do this, we should react, we should sell this, we should create this.

Speaker 1: 11:29

But then you see, small folks like us, we can't just do everything at once. I'm about to sell this, I'm gonna make this, I'm gonna write this, I'm gonna create this all at the same time. Just make a bunch of money and do all this shit. I don't care what HGTV show you. I don't care what Bravo Network put out there, lifetime, hallmark, straight up. None of that shit. In 42 to 44, maybe 46 minutes. They're giving you eight week projects.

Speaker 1: 12:01

Man, you guys to make a decision about what you wanna tackle first. You may be able to complete all of these things, all of these tasks, all of these businesses. You wanna create ideas for selling things, whether it be crafts or what have you? Make a decision on what you wanna tackle First, strategize you know what I mean and get to it. So yeah, man, that's definitely a valid one. Man, have you ever caught yourself in a position where you having to explain a decision that you didn't make? It was just an idea, I'm pretty sure. Nothing I can remember right now, but I'm pretty sure, man, I'll give you one really quick man, we've talked, he, he, he, oh man, I'm about to be tapping into this petty marriage argument. Hey, speak freely, speak freely. Permission to speak freely. That's my first time saying this. Grancy, bro, let's go.

Speaker 1: 12:58

As you all probably know, already about three, almost three years now, my wife and I we went the fixer up a route and purchased in our first home. Um, I'm proud of the decision that we made. And one thing, one thing that our realtor told us what she said hey, it's a great house that has a wonderful potential. Hey, and if it doesn't work out, you end in divorce. Well, don't joke like that. But, uh, but no, man, so small situation.

Speaker 1: 13:29

Man, we had a lot of projects to tackle. Uh, in the downstairs bathroom there was a mirror slash medicine cabinet. Um, so it wasn't just as simple as me. Taking this cabinet off the wall, had to take it out of the wall, in which, after I take it Out of the wall, opposed to just taking it off the wall, I will be left with a Hole in in the fucking wall. So I wanted to make sure that we had a mirror to replace the mirror that's being taken down, because I'm not just left with wall, left with a hole, you know, and Myself and my boys, we actually were utilizing this bathroom at least to Brush our teeth in, to wash our hands, me to trim the mustache and get the shit together.

Speaker 1: 14:29

You know what I mean. So my wife didn't give a shit. Rather, there was a mirror there or not. I did. Okay, this ragged little Goofy stain as the mirror. I actually used this. You look like a little prison mirror. Mm-hmm, it's all. You got above the sink, it's, you know, as she wanted it gone. I'm like, babe, I actually used this, excuse me, thank you. Until we get something to replace it, it'll be here.

Speaker 1: 14:53

So she, she went out Expeditiously, whittin, got a mirror, you know, and then we got into a little tizzy about it. So I'm supposed to jump and do it now. You know this is any decision I made, you know. However, I'm explaining. So, yes, to answer your question, man.

Speaker 1: 15:10

Yes, man, I have been in a situation where I've had to explain a decision. I didn't decide to Remove this mirror slash medicine cabinet right now. Okay, why am I not doing it? Because I completed three, four other things today and I would actually like to sit down in this place. If I do that, that's okay with you, you know. But no, man, definitely. Yeah, and that goofy ass situation. More. We don't argue a lot, but when we do, it'd be some goofy ass shit. Man, I'll continue to share those stories as we go on, because the freedom of speakers want to hear oh for show man. What about you, man? Well, I know you got something locked and loaded in the pocket, man, something you've had to explain. Like I ain't even, you ain't even need no car, yeah.

Speaker 1: 15:58

So, man, recently we we received a phone call to be able to Potentially take over a 24-hour supported living home. Yeah, great addition to the company. But For what came with it was not healthy for us. Yeah, so we had a over the phone interview. Actually was zoom, we were zoom meeting over the phone and the family was asking theoretical or hypothetical questions. Was this the one I was in Theoretical or hypothetical questions and we were just throwing out ideas within this conversation of how we would Come up with some solutions for some of the situations that were at hand. Not even 24 hours I wouldn't even say 18 may, 12 because this was like a evening conversation Maybe 5, 36 and afternoon. Yeah, yeah that at 6 am, 7 am the next day, we're receiving A phone call from the family being bullied to make decisions about things that we didn't even make a choice on yet. However, and just to clarify for the audience, that meeting was a meeting to see if we would like to take you on as a client and for you to see if you would like us to assist you in your needs. Pretty much an idea conversation, that's all. It wasn't a decision, essentially conversation, an interview, if you will. Yes, it was an interview. So in this interview we were just talking through ideas, potentials, theoreticals, hypotheticals.

Speaker 1: 17:44

The next morning, 6.30, 7 o'clock am, one of the family members reaches out to us on various lines. Workline couldn't reach anybody because it's 6.30 am Reached out to me personally. I didn't have the number saved so I didn't. I didn't answer. I was on vacation, you were on vacation, and then he reached out to Vanessa and he finally got a hold to her after just however many attempts. When he reached out to her, he was very disrespectful, he was very belittling, and then he was mandating us to make decisions on the spot off of just an interview we had less than 12 or 13 hours ago, along with just the.

Speaker 1: 18:35

It was an, it was a negative demand of like. You don't know me. We haven't signed any contracts. I'm we're having to make decisions about ideas that we're having when, for a lack of better term use, the customer is not always right. No, Okay, the customer is always right to a company that can't afford to lose anybody. Yeah, and you get to understand that when you find yourself on the other side, when you find yourself as no longer the customer and you are the one in the distribution seat pushing out a product, that customer isn't correct because a shipping was late and we needed to get it in and we just weren't, and not as person, as upset. No, they're not correct to be disrespectful to the people or to the team. Being disrespectful, belittling, they're not correct and I'll stand on our down that you are not correct because you didn't get your way. You seem more like a hurt child that you can't get an item or a service that is not privy to you right now. Yeah, straight up, so I can't, I can't, I couldn't do it. It was one of those. Hey, I have an idea. Now let's make the decision to not move forward.

Speaker 1: 19:56

Okay, ideas are a conversation, decisions are action. When most people are in that idea phase, we all can talk about what we doing, what we finna do, what we bout to do. But once people step into, tap into that decision making, they don't lose the idea portion, because that's the vocal, that's the verbal. Yeah, they going into the action portion, things now, because now they build it. So when people who are still in that idea phase and they just talking, they don't want to fuck too much with the niggas that's in that decision making phase, because now they build it. Remember, they didn't lose their voice to talk about what they building. Because now the people that there's only still in that idea room, they're upset because now you talking about what you doing and all they doing is just talking about what they finna do.

Speaker 1: 20:45

Yeah, just come on, I ain't finna. Say next time, I'm finna, just like me, just like we talked about, I ain't finna. Man, it's actionable. We action over here. We all about verbs, niggas, talkers and doers, and talking is okay, but don't talk me to death. We ain't finna be talking. We ain't finna be talking too much. I hate this nigga go. Yeah, man, I'm about to sew and sew. All right, man, show me some. Six summers this nigga been saying he getting that old school to get it. Show me some that old school antique now. Yo, shit is original, but yeah, man. So, that being said, we would like to hear and get some feedback from the listeners, the freedom speakers.

Speaker 1: 21:23

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to make a decision on an idea that you haven't even really thought through yet? Or have you ever been in a position where you're getting held accountable for ideas with no action behind them? Whoa, just like. I was just thinking about it. I wasn't gonna do it. I shouldn't even told you my thoughts. Yeah, man, I was like I'm gonna be held you getting on me for thinking I'm good for spitball and ideas. Man, like with my wife, man boo, he said it was gonna wait, hang on, I was just throwing that out there. That's just something that like popped into my head and I just threw it out as a hey, I may have something here and we let it snowball.
