Stop questioning my methods, okay? I was chosen for this task for a very good reason. No, chosen something. [00:00:56] Speaker B: Oh God. My Lord and savior. I was just calling you back to see if you got my last couple of voice messages. Man, listen, they everything up down here. They keep oppressing us with these laws and stuff like that. They work against the people. They're giving us diseases and not telling us that they doing it. They experimenting on us. AI is taking over. The groceries are way too high. We can't afford to pay for nothing. And then they trying to make being homeless illegal so they can throw up. Rowley Lord, they charging us for water that you gave us for free and spraying pesticides on the food that you gave us to eat. The inflation keep on raising like grace when they sun dried and white people think you left them in charge and your son died. Oh, the President be touching on little kids. He who won't send relief funds to the Pope. Kids in the ghetto cause he's spending it on war as a cover up for him getting in bed with underage children and pulling the covers up. Innocent people keep getting killed too. Could you smite some of these evil motherfuckers? Is that something you still do? They making new diseases to give people and set the medicine that unaffordable race as a way to kill people. Making being homeless illegal so they can lock you up for not having enough in the system that they been botching up. I don't want to assume too hastily, but freedom labor from homeless people starting to sound a lot like slavery. And they making us pay taxes on the land that you gave too. While we sit in church every Sunday waiting for breakthrough. They been using your religion to oppress us for 500 years and saying if we don't listen, we won't get blessings. Is it true if we don't honor the white man as our master and give 10% or nothing to money hungry pastors that we won't get into heaven when you come back? If that's the case, I'm sure that everybody know their damn like the hunchback. Oh, did you tell ICE that can murder people in broad day and lock in at some babies and taxpayers and large cases. I'm just asking. Cause they acting like you said to. This just a few things I needed to tell you. Could you call me back, please? Love you, man. All right, talk to you next time. [00:02:37] Speaker C: You're. [00:02:38] Speaker A: What's up, what up, what up, what up, what up? Back one more again. Welcome to another episode of Mandatory Overtime. It's your main man, DJ High Star in the place to be. Appreciate y' all joining me. Welcome Mandatory Overtime. To aim here at Mandatory Overtime is simply for us to recalibrate our definition of manhood. That's with each conversation that we have in the community. The community that consists of me and you all. All right. Simply an audio journal of the 80s, baby. A social inconsistency. You could have been anywhere in the world, but you here listening to me. And for that, I appreciate you listening to me. Let's not confuse this with the manosphere, okay? It's just a place where the man is fair. So pull up a chair. Like comment, subscribe, share. Most importantly, don't make some noise because your man is here. You heard. Reporting live from the 704, 980 Charlotte, America. What's happening, y'? All? See, I'm feeling a little bit better, a little less nasally this week and all of that, you know. Appreciate that. I just had to shake some off, you know? But shout out to my Russian sound engineer. And that's what I got over here In a check, 1, 2. A check 1, 2. You heard. Let's go to work. First and foremost, let's show some brotherly love to the intro. That was brother Akeem Ali. I. I know I know him again from 85 south when they started doing the little live shows. And he was Kimi Casanova and stuff. So that was my brother Akeem Ali on that intro. Shout out to him last week. Let's start off with some revisions real quick before we go. Last week, that intro was brought to us by brother Eric Benet. All right, that was mega. Oh, maga. They need to be drafted first. They want magma. They need to be drafted first. For the mother, for that bull, for that. So that was Shout out to Eric Benet. Shout out the good brother. But this week was Kimi Casanova or Akeem Ali on the freestyle. This week we're gonna be celebrating a lot of hip hop, okay? You're gonna be in a lot of music. So y' all stay with me this week, all right? All right. Okay. Got a lot of things to go through. First thing, we're gonna do another revision from last week that I picked up on while celebrating North Carolina's very own Bam out of bio, his 83 points performance that he had with the Heat against the Washington Wizards. I did mention or say 81 points a couple of times, so salute to him for the 83 points. I know I mentioned it and said 83 points a couple of times last week, but there is one or two times where I refer to it as 81 points, so just wanted to correct myself there as well. Outside of that, though, what's good with y'? [00:05:52] Speaker B: All? [00:05:52] Speaker A: How y' all doing? How's everybody feeling? A new week, new challenges and all of that, you know? But, hey, we here. And right when we thought everybody was, like, on Black History Month and people were trying to disregard us. Oh, in comes the white savior. Shout out to Jack Harlow, but we're gonna get to him in a minute. Okay? First things first, though, BAFTAs, you know, y' all tried to. Y' all tried to diminish our brother's light. Brother Coogler, Brother Michael B. Jordan. Delroy Lindo, the sister that's pregnant now. I'm not sure her full name, but y' all tried to diminish all of them, you know, into intentionally or unintentionally. However, this past weekend, Sinners was celebrated by taking home a couple Oscars at the Oscar Awards. I wasn't watching because the Knicks were playing, all right, So I wasn't watching it, but salute to Michael B. Jordan, Salute to Ryan Coogler, the whole cast of Sinners, everybody that came home with an award that certainly was for the culture. I just want to show y' all and give y' all flowers, certainly. So just salute and shout out to y' all again, Sinners. If you haven't seen the movie, though, Michael B. Jordan plays his own twin brother. Two roles, you know, and just flawless, flawless acting and stuff. It's come a long way from his. His role on the Wire and everything. So salute to Michael B. Jordan for the hard work and stuff throughout the day, the decades of. Of film and stuff that. That he's been in. In tv. So salute to him. Now we want to go ahead and we'll go ahead and move through this thing. Let's get to our building wisdom segment. Yo, no disrespectful. We ain't in all of that, son. [00:07:54] Speaker B: Build. Destroy the builders. To elevate the mentalities of self and those around self, to add positive energy to every nation, to build you must first start from the root, which is the knowledge foundation. And I don't want to. The highest peak. To destroy is to eliminate and destroy any and all negativity that enters my cipher of supreme harmony. [00:08:14] Speaker A: Peace, God. [00:08:15] Speaker B: Peace, God. [00:08:16] Speaker A: Come on, son. [00:08:18] Speaker B: Do the knowledge. [00:08:19] Speaker A: I know you gonna dig this. All right, so we're gonna go through a little bit of building wisdom here. The first thing that we're gonna go through here will be a couple from brother Taz. It's never too late for a new beginning in your life. All right, let's see here. A person's most useful asset is not a head full of knowledge, but a heart full of love, an ear ready to listen, and a hand willing to help others shout out. See, a great attitude becomes a great day, which becomes a great month, which becomes a great year, which becomes a great life like that. All right, because I like this one they sent out to my family and friends. Sometimes I forget to tell you how much I care about you and how grateful I am for your presence in my life. It's a simple thank you. And I mean salute to Brother Taz for that. I got a couple from cousin Jerome here. You got one from Thomas A. Campus. It says, who has a harder fight than. Than he who is striving to overcome himself. That's what I say all the time. We fighting in battle internally. All right, let's see here. He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver. I love that right there. I love that right there. A Thomas A. Kempis. Let me read that again. He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver. It's hard. That's hard. Rather, the true art of memory is the art of attention. The true art of memory is the art of attention. All right, so salute. Salute to Cousin Jerome with that. Salute to brother Taz as well. Let's see. All right, so let's go ahead and move forward. I wanted to go ahead and move forward. We're gonna go ahead into our Brother Socks audio note. He sent us a voicemail. We got a voicemail this week. Now, let's see. All right, so give me one moment here. We'll go ahead and get this voice note situated. One moment. [00:10:55] Speaker B: Hello. Please leave a message after the tone. I hope Lawrence Fishburne hears this episode. You call him Larry. I hope you one day just hear this. Yo, we were last time Cam got a story about how they ran down on him in the airport. Call that Larry A like that. Hey, then you switched it back to Lawrence, though, bro. You funny as yo. [00:11:36] Speaker A: All right, so salute to Sat. I appreciate that. And he's absolutely 100,000% right. I said Larry Fishburne. I know what I say. You heard? Yeah, Larry. Yeah, Larry. But you was in school days, Larry. So, you know. You know what I'm saying? Back then, you was Larry. When you was in school days, you wasn't Lawrence yet. You hadn't established that. So if we ever run across each other past salute. I respect everything you do on Grownish. Blackish is the grandfather and all of that. All right. I respected you with the little. The hand massages, waiting for Trey to come home and boys in the hood and all of that. All right, hold on real quick. Let's try out this new sound effect I got. Hey, you know, caught in the left, champ, right on the hand massager situation. But you Larry, he was Larry back then, B. But yeah, Sock, I'm glad that you picked up on that. All right? Yeah, yeah, I did that intentionally. And then I did switch it back to Lawrence Fishburne. So salute, man. I appreciate that. So I appreciate the. The voicemail, the voice note. Y' all always know that. You can always write in or email us@ Mandatory OT704gmail.com. It's Mandatory OT704gmail.com or follow us on IG, of course. And follow us on IG. That's Mandatory OT. And you can also call into the hotline 7047-8170-1170-4781-7011 and leave us a message of audio note or something. We'll. We'll get it played on the air. All right, now, there's one other thing that I wanted to play. I'm not sure how legal this is, but this is really stuff heard on the break room floor or on the work floor. This is real. This is all real right here that we about to listen to, y'. All. So. All right, forgive me for being petty. This is. But let's just see what it. Let's see what's going on. Just to peek into the work world real quick. I will bleep out any necessary names or anything like that. Give me one second. Let's see what's going on. No, I was just playing. [00:13:58] Speaker B: I was just playing my man. What I could do, be in there some looking like a raisin. I look like a razor when I come out the room. Listen. [00:14:22] Speaker A: All right, so. Oh, my God. So people that can't Pick up what was going on. It was getting very toxic. That was one of our old heads, one of our old school OGs out there. And he was just. It was about 5:36 in the morning after a long shift, the brother riding around looking at women, all his shift, and he was just letting out some of his intrusive thoughts. I guess they took over. But yeah, that was one of the OG's. He was kind of chopping it up with, with some of us other fellas. And so I'm gonna keep it. That was real stuff. Heard from the work floor. Okay? Very toxic. Very toxic ain't very toxic. We. The La Russell thing. All right, let. Oh, my gosh. The Russell. The Russell. Brother, brother, come on, brother, listen, man, you're doing your thing. He's working very hard to get where you've gotten to, to in your career to get noticed and everything like that. Please, brother, don't mess all this up. And I understand. You just understand. You have tremendous power right now. With this great power comes great responsibility, of course. And you don't allow your hubris and your ego to take over. Brother, if there's any way that you hear any of this, remember the three things before saying anything out in public, okay? Does this need to be said? Does this need to be said right now? And does this need to be said right now by me? And. And, brother, by all accounts, this stuff may not have needed to be said. Y' all don't know what I'm talking about. La Russell has promoted a new song. Whenever he introed it, he said, hey, my engineer advised me against releasing this, but guess what? I'm gonna release it anyways. And the song itself, it starts off hopeful, optimistic. And then he gets into some questionable lyrics, which are fine, and they're just. They're questionable on the surface. I don't know if they needed to be said. But he goes on to talk about how the devil is heaven sent, how Donald Trump is heaven sent, how Jeffrey Epstein and Adolf Hitler are heaven sent. So look, I'm. I'm a brother that I try to give the benefit of the doubt and extend grace at first. And I've done that for 35 to 37 years of my life. The last two or three years, my grace has run out, brother. So it. Remember, it's. It's. It's wicked versus righteous. So regardless if you're heaven sent or not, what do you do with that free will? And. And what God do you pray to while you. While you here on Earth? That's. That's my main concern so that I can align myself with the. The correct side, because I. I realized this the other day. As much people as there are that pray to the God that we assume that they pray to, in other words, the big God, and are praying, you know, optimistically for peace and for love and good things to happen, we got to also be real and consider those that. That praying the opposite way. You feel what I'm saying? All right, it's not a conspiracy anymore, but we've got to be honest with ourselves about the people. That's not. That's not saying a good prayer out there. That's not praying to the God that we pray to and. And just be honest about that. So if we ever talking about divide division or. Or choosing sides and stuff like that, consider me on the side of the righteous. Y' all know what time it is, all right? And. And then I'm going up against the wicked. Now, was that the wrestle's message as far as, like, you know, let's. Let's side and. And be chummy. Chummy with all the evil people in the world? No, I don't believe that was his message, but the message that he was trying to convey, I don't think that it needed to be said right now. I don't. Not until somebody gets arrested at the White House for starting up in a legal war to try to cover up for pedophiles and sex crimes of children and other and women alike. So, yeah, that's what I feel about it. The Russell, you're doing a lot, brother. We don't want you to lose all of this social equity and social cache that you built up with the community, man. You're doing your thing, though. I know that you're learning in real time as well. And, hey, you still may feel like you're right. So listen, brother, salute. But. All right, we're gonna get to a couple other things. Like I said, we are actually extending Black History Month. All right? I know it's LeBron James, Happy International Women's Day type of vibes and in the month going on, but St Patrick's Day is also here. I'm taking that. I'm taking that this year. All right? We are extending Black History Month. I'm gonna show him some love a little bit later as well. But I first wanted to show some show love. [00:19:45] Speaker B: It don't show nothing. It don't cost nothing to show a. [00:19:48] Speaker A: All right, we're gonna show some early love to Afroman, the rapper Afroman. It's a popular Artist from whenever I was growing up because he had this song. Because I got high. Because I got high. Because I got high Because I got high Because I got high. So he. His house was raided by police in Ohio and he caught them on camera raiding his house, searching it illegally, stealing money from him. And he's got it all on camera and all on footage. And what did he do? He turned it into music videos and a series of songs going at these particular police officers that actually attacked his home. The results of that is the police department is suing him for defamation, saying that him publishing these videos have become, you know, detrimental to their careers and, you know, alligator tears. Alligator tears or crocodile tears, whatever they call. So salute to Afroman for sticking it to the man, I guess you could say. But yeah, I would play some of the. The music, but it doesn't know justice without the music video. So if y' all are able to look up some of the music videos that Afro man posted with regards to the police officers in his. In his home state or in. In Ohio rather, where. Where he resides at. And also, some of the lyrics, they. They're not, you know, the lyrics are adult coded. So just. Just be mindful of that. Whenever you do tune in, it's talking about a woman officer who enjoys cunnilingus. You see what I'm saying? So you gotta. It's just different things in there that you got to watch for when you just can't open that up at work and just start listening to it, in other words. Okay, just wanted to make that clear. Just wanted to make that clear. All right. So I wanted to go ahead and move forward this week. Let me see here. Well, last week we did celebrate and honor real hip hop. Hip hop. All right. We're going to continue this trend. Okay. Because who's going to do it but us? So we are going to go through another installment of Classical High Star Bars with DJ High Star. All right, Today's Classical High Star Bars will come from Versafy and BOD laureates Jason Phillips and brother David. David P. Stiles. P, if you will.

They asked him, hey, you know, just like your white counterparts, are you going to. You know, they've. They've dabbled in. After they've dabbled in hip hop, they've gone and retreated back to pop country rock. Are you gonna do the same or whatnot? He's like, essentially, no. Stated that he's gotten blacker. Okay. That's right. Jack Harlow say, you know, hanging out at Electric lady, chilling with Robert Glasper, and I'm, you know, essentially, I got blacker with my music. Red Flag. Okay?

Allow Delzal shout out to Rachel Dolezal and everything that she's inspired with Jack Harlow. Yeah. Salute. So the last thing about Jack Harlow is the name of the album. It's. It's named Monica. Cool. Whatever. He's got a little 90s aesthetic video going on where he's talking to this black girl. She got short hair with the finger waves looking like Monica and everything. And that's all good and fine and dandy on the surface. I even mentioned to my boy Dope Digital's situation with the. The album name and title and shout out to Dope Digitals and Unwanted Perspective, y'. [00:36:10] Speaker B: All. [00:36:10] Speaker A: Check that. Check out his. His YouTube page. But he's told me. Yeah, bro, go to sleep. You're too woke. Yeah, you're too woke. Go to sleep. Go to sleep. You're too woke. Why do you say that is? Because again, the album's title name is Monica. All right, so the same way that we. All right. Same. We was on last week or a couple weeks ago, about the greatest trick that the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he, you know, wasn't. But he is real. Okay. All right, y', all, let's. Let me go ahead and play this real quick for y'. [00:36:52] Speaker B: All. [00:36:52] Speaker A: Matter of fact. Okay, Here we go. Now. Watch this.

You can get killed for mistaking the sound, like white people saying, Monica, I'm tired now. [00:37:31] Speaker A: He is so dope Digitals. He, you know, he trying to get on me about being super on point and aware or extra woke, if you will, and all of that. But that's exactly how, like this slides, you know, is called double entendre's for a reason and things like that. We know about. We know about the white power. Three fingers with the little. Yeah, I mean, with the. On the thumb in the index finger meeting each other like. So there's different things that we know about that's covert. And you know, who knows what goes on on white Twitter with the word Monica. All right, so I'm just saying it's quite, quite, quite the coincidence that he's named it Monica. Monica my Nicka. Out of here. All right. Jack Harlow. So the Russell and Jack Harlow, y', all, man, y' all make it difficult to be brothers, man. But listen, Chad Carlos, salute to you again for extending Black History Month. I appreciate your brother. All right. My, You want to name his album mine. It's just one of them days out of here. Listen, y', all, let's go ahead and move forward. I do want to play some high star bars this week. This week they're actually going to come from J. Cole. And this is in lure instead of me playing any clips or excerpts from the House or the Senate floor, any kind of congressional hearings because that's continuously a mess. If you do want to entertain yourself on the side or you need something to watch to inform yourself but be entertained at the same time and feel better about yourself because you are smarter than probably 80% of this country, go ahead and tune into the congressional hearings and just take a listen. Whether whoever is on trial and know recently we've had Tulsi Gabbard on trial. She is over an oversight committee that's supposed to be non partisan and not tied to the president in any way so that she can be, so she can be partial to like the country and the issues at hand for the country to protect the country and its citizens. And she went down to the voter fraud investigation that was going on either in Alabama or Georgia, I want to say, Fulton County, I want to say, and was there to oversee it. The timeline doesn't add up where she didn't have any reason to be down there. They asked her why she was down there. Her answer is the president and asked me to go down there. Whereas the president didn't know or was not supposed to be aware that the FBI was going down there. And I know that all this stuff sounds real kind of mumbled and all that stuff together, but I implore you all take a look if you want to entertain yourselves and also inform yourselves on what's going on in the country. So Gabbard, she's been on trial. They're trying to confirm this. This new fella, Mark whatever his name is in as a new DHS secretary being that Christy Gnome has been fired and Pam Bondi is about to be or has been subpoenaed. So that's definitely, that's definitely going to be entertaining when we. When we bring her to the. To the floor. So I wanted to play this clip here from this song by J. Cole. It's for our high star bars this week. The song, it's from his 2018 album, KOD, and it's called Brackets. This is the second verse in Brackets. All right. And I wanted to play this for y' all for our high star bars for the week. Here we go. Yeah, let's get into it. [00:41:34] Speaker C: Hell yeah, Bo. I'm a goddamn millionaire now. Hell yeah. They can't tell me now. A million dollar check. I'm goddamn lit. Boy, you crazy as hell. Hold up, this my phone real quick. This my aunt, Uncle Sam and what's up? Y. Hell yeah. I told you that check was coming in. I got you when it came in. Goddamn, I'm a man of my word. Goddamn, I told you I'mma have it and I got them. I'mma have it for you. Yeah, damn right. But how much, how much was it though, Huh? Half. Half? You Crip. Boy, you crazy. I'm crazy? You better suck half my dick. [00:42:21] Speaker D: I pay taxes so much taxes don't make sense. Where do my dollars go? You see, lately I ain't been convinced. I guess they say my dollar's supposed to build roads and schools but my barely graduate, they ain't got the tools. [00:42:32] Speaker A: Okay, maybe. [00:42:33] Speaker D: Cause the tax dollars that I make sure I say sin get spent hiring some teachers that don't look like them in the curriculum be tricking them. Them dollars I spend got us learning about the heroes with the whitest of skin. [00:42:45] Speaker A: One thing about the men that's controlling [00:42:47] Speaker D: the pen that write history, they always seem to white out their sins. Maybe we'll never see a black man in the White House again. I write a check to the irs, my pockets get slim. Damn, do I even have a say [00:42:59] Speaker A: by where it's going? [00:43:00] Speaker D: Some older told me to start voting. I said democracy is too slow. If I'm giving y' all this hard [00:43:07] Speaker A: earned bread, I want to know. [00:43:09] Speaker D: Better yet, Let me decide. 2018. Let me pick the things I'm funding from an app on my screen. Better that than letting whack congressmen I [00:43:17] Speaker A: never seen dictate where my money goes. Straight into the palms of some money [00:43:21] Speaker D: hungry company that make guns that circulate the country and then wind up in [00:43:25] Speaker A: my hood making bloody clothes. Stray bullet hit a young boy with a snotty nose from the concrete. [00:43:31] Speaker D: He was probably rolls and nobody knows [00:43:35] Speaker A: what to tell his mother. He did good at the white man's school. Unlike his brother, who was lost in the streets all day, not using rubber. So right now he got two on the way. Funeral. Just as she's walking out, wiping tears away, grabbing her cheese and sun sunglasses, she remembers that she gotta file her taxes. Damn. So. Oh, it's High Star bars for the week from the brother, Jermaine. Jermaine. Jermaine Cole. What about Insane Flows? Jermaine Cole. Salute. Salute to the brother, Jermaine Cole. Man walked on that one, y'. All. Forgive me. I had to. First and foremost, again, I had to talk over it. So we made sure we don't get no copyright strikes. But the verse is fire. The verse is fire. And it was from 2018. Eight years ago. Eight years ago. And it's still prevalent today. We have still the antiquated system that we have old people that are in charge of the government that can barely, you know, probably go to the bathroom by themselves. And there's, you know, geriatric just taking over right now, the country. And let's frame this as we can, okay? Let's say, for instance, if there was 20 year olds or 30 year olds that fled from England and came to the US to make their own country and stuff like that, and, and, you know, acted in genocide and stuff, try to get rid of the natives and Native Americans and everything. Let's just play that out. It's been 250 years for this nation. So let's just say the average 50 year old, that gives us five generations. Five generations of, of folk, right? It's pretty easy to keep power in five generations. So people that's been in the Senate or in the, in the Congress and all that stuff in government, we need to seek term limits. We just need to seek term limits. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. So y' all forgive me with, with the, with the rant. All right. Outside of that, though, I'm gonna kind of wrap this show up this week with that. I do want have some brotherly love that I do got to give out. Y' all know, each week when I do do brotherly love, if I miss y', all, charge it to the head, not the heart. I think that's the same. But y' all know what time it is. Y' all know, Come on, man. I know what time. It'll cost nothing to show a [00:46:14] Speaker B: love. [00:46:15] Speaker A: All right, so I wanted to start off showing some love to my pro fight, my big bro Montez. Shout out to body bag. We actually celebrated his birthday. His birthday, I believe, was the beginning of March or like, back in January. February. But we did just celebrate this past week down in Colombia. A lot of us LS bros got together. So salute. Seeing all the bros that I did see out there. Taz, my brother DeAndre, my LB, Al, of course, Dicky, Dog, Chris. That's now listen. Now, hold on. Hey, you know partner, left champ. That's dog's name, y'. All. His last name is Dicky. So that's my. My dog. My dog, Chris Dickey. All right. President. I mean, principal down there in. In Columbia. But where it's applicable, you still got it. All right, so shout out to. Shout out to Chris, shout out to Manny. Shout out to everybody that showed up for Tez. Definitely. Casey, of course. Good seeing you too, as well, my brother. Brotherly love as well to the brother Torre. Now, Nori would call him the White Toray, but Torre actually has a awesome YouTube page, T O U R E. So along with doing rap latte with the brother King Green, Torre has his own page where he does his own, like, hip hop stories. It reminds me, and it's very Charlie Murphy esque or Charlie Murphy coded. Like, it's a gem and very. Like, it just sounds like you are when you are listening to him. You have the privilege of listening to somebody that was right there in. In that time all through the 90s at some of the greatest times, because he was one of the more prevalent writers of the 90s. So he was covering a lot of different stories, a lot of different artists at the time. And right now he's kind of. He's independent in his media space, so he's letting go of all of his older stories, and they are fascinating. So salute to the brother Torre as well. Salute to Mech. To Mech King Mech Mecca. What do you even go by? I'm trying. Mech Rashawn. Mech Ran. That's my dog. Salute to Mech Ran. He manages Busta Rhyme. I'm not sure how many of y' all know, but my cousin BK Gutter, he signed to Busta Rhymes and Special Ent So kind of weird little six degrees of separation there. But Mac Rashawn, he be doing his thing on YouTube and Instagram and everything like that. So salute to him. Salute to my brother, OG KD Dawson, of course. Salute to the fellas, Fat boy, old man Q. Mix Master T as well. Definitely. So salute to all of y'. All. Salute to Big Cliff. Definitely Demetrius, Hannah and Gamble. Suits my pops, man. What's happening, Big Jerome. Yeah.

If not next week, then sooner. But let me go ahead and leave us or conclude this episode with some words that are. Excuse me. With some words that are straight from the heart. This is with supreme faith. That's in God. May the ego and the hubris never break us apart. And from one brother to another, if nobody ever told you before, I love you. All right. Peace out, man.
