I don't know if you know this, man, but immigrant
parents, they can't give a compliment to one
child without assaulting another one. It's a
physical impossibility. I found this out because
my brother just graduated from college. And when
we got back home, my dad was like, Richard, good
job. You went to school and you finish your class.
You weren't distracted by meaningless things
like drugs, white women, bad haircuts. I was
like, this nigga talking about me. Down to the
white women, how you know about that? My mom
is even worse, my mom says stuff about you like
you're not in the room right there with her.
She was just celebrating, my son, my one and
only son. I had to clear my throat. She said,
oh, I didn't know you were there. I said, Ma,
you ain't see me? She said, if you want me to
see, get your degree. I said, God damn. It hurts
more when it rhymes, I'll tell you that. Oh my
goodness, Chris is funny. Well, well, well, welcome
back to your favorite podcast here, people. It's
me, your favorite life coach is here. We're on
episode 80. Shit, touch this life. Every day,
we're all just writing. Mm hmm. Yes. But let
me tell you guys. I'm out here in England and
I just left the grocery store and the lady that
rings us up the cashier wanted to be so, so salty.
Like she's very unhappy, it's clear as day. She's
upset that she's at work. She's upset that winter
has came early in England and she just doesn't
know how to express her feelings. So a young
lady like me that likes to smile and laugh. Of
course, I laugh at people that do not know how
to properly communicate. She's upset. She's upset
that I did not put a few items on the little
machine thing that, you know, this little slider.
And she's like, well, you should have put it
up there. Well, my spouse didn't let me put them
up there. I had to sneak them up here. So let's
just ring them up. Let's just do our jobs. because
i'm in line just like anybody else isn't like
i cut people just to get here um so let's just
do that let's focus on the basics okay let's
just let's just get paid for what our job is
to do which is to ring up the customers it's
not to bring up how it's not to dictate how they
put the food up there nothing it's all supposed
to get rung up correct me if i'm wrong so she's
upset you know she rings my stuff up But then,
you know, I talked to my boyfriend. So she's
like, do you need a receipt? Well, no, he doesn't
need a receipt. Why? Because I know his receipts
come to his email. So no, we don't need a paper
receipt. She's upset. Do you need a receipt?
So then he has to say no, I don't need a receipt.
Like he's not with me. So I just chuckle at her
on my way out. Like, ma 'am, you are funny. You
are hilarious. Clearly you're mad. that you at
work and she goes out her way to say is there
attitude I smell is that if you have something
to say say it's in my you can come back and say
it well no darling you don't want me to do that
you don't I'm not British I'm American so you
do not want me to come back and say what I need
to say because it will be said so I said to her
hey try to have a nice day okay you do your best
to try to have a good day because you got to
be here till whatever your schedule says. I get
to walk right out these doors once I'm done getting
my food rung up. You know, there's a difference
between me and you, all right? I don't have to
work as hard, all right? I don't have kids, okay?
Like get out of my face, you know, and she wasn't
even in my face, but get out of my face with
all the negativity before I properly read you,
okay? Before I embarrass you in front of all
these taxpayers. It will happen. But this is
episode 80. Shit, that's just life. That's not
how it's supposed to start. But hey, I'm here
because every day I'm growing just like everybody
else. It's time to get down and dirty to the
real nitty gritty. But I had to let that off
my chest. I have to let you guys know what the
heck is going on out here in England. This is
how they try you. I'm telling you, they try you.
They really do. They really try you. But let's
get into it let's get it started let's get it
started okay so let's do a life update here me
your favorite life coach cecile cecilia let me
get let me give you guys enough life update because
what's going on here with us with this life update.
We're still redecorating and Mama Dukes has eventually
entered the chat. Yes, Mama Dukes has entered
the chat. So we have a Gemini, we have a Virgo,
we have a Capricorn. I can say as a Capricorn,
I can honestly say three heads that have a certain
vision. It's hard to work together but it's still
the process is coming along nicely. Us, the Capricorn
and the Virgo, we clearly have to listen to the
Gemini because they are more assertive and they're
like, hey I'll do it if you don't. Clearly. Clearly.
Okay? We're here. We're doing a lot though and
things are getting done. I mean, the other bathroom
has been cleared. The bedroom is coming apart.
Well, not even coming apart. It's coming along.
We are now mounting the TV, move another dresser
from downstairs to upstairs to fit perfectly
into the bedroom. It's just coming along sweetly.
It's unfortunate we needed a Gemini to come in
here to put the foot down. But hey, I can honestly
say. If it was just the Gemini and the Virgo,
things wouldn't have got done without me. So
either Capricorn was needed, so was the Gemini.
They were needed. The Virgo is needed for aesthetics.
It's needed for the little things, the little
details. But the big things, the Virgo can just
sit aside and be told when to move. the big things
because that's the Capricorn and the Gemini,
which is his mom is Gemini, I am Capricorn. That's
our job. We see the big things, we're ready to
move the big things. My Virgo now, he pays attention
to the small details, the symmetrics, the decimal
point, everything you can think of, okay? He
wants to make sure that things are properly in
the area. We just want to get this stuff out
the way. We just want to move the stuff to the
proper place. We can let him do the tweaks. And
that's what's going on here. We're letting him
do the tweaks. We will navigate each other towards
moving the bigger items to actually make it more
homey, more livable, more modern, all the above.
Now, the Virgo on the other hand has great necessities,
great tools that we definitely can use. We can
definitely utilize these tools. But like I said,
these are on the smaller hand, meaning these
things we can put in last. These little things
can literally go in last. But since they're out,
we are going to work together. We're going to
utilize all the information that the Virgo has
to give to us, utilize all the information the
Gemini has to give to us. And lastly, utilize
all the information that MWAH the Capricorn has
to provide. Okay? We're working together, people.
Things are really coming together. I'm proud
of that. I'm really proud of that. And I just
let her know I will be calling you all day every
day so have your phone charged up because when
I'm ready to move some things, I will be calling
you. But I'm just glad that things are actually...
coming together, especially when it comes to
where to fit things. She had the eyes for it.
I'm okay to say that. I'm grateful to say that
she has the eye for it. Of course, she knows
the the symmetrics better than I do. So she knows
where things should go. Hey, she she knows the
layout way better than I do. So, hey, I'm always
here to learn. I'm here to listen. Sit back.
be told what to do, let her guide, and then we'll
go from there. That's what I'm proud of. I'm
ready to keep going from there, you guys. The
home is becoming a loving, lovely, lovely living
home, okay? You got a house and then you have
a home. This is now becoming a lovely home. Thank
you for the Gemini for entering into the chat,
okay? And now today, she will just be telling
us what to do, and we will be moving things.
For now, we've taken a lunch break so I can pod
properly. But that's just a nice update here
on the home decor of what's going on. I'm ready
to get this bad boy up and lovingly running,
looking like the bomb home I can see it to be.
I'm ready. All right, but I know there's other
steps that we have to take care of. So for now,
we will enjoy her time. We will utilize her time
while she's here. We also have some lovely salsa
because she came home and she decided to cook
us some salsa. So we had salsa, we had greens,
and we had some lovely chicken to go with that.
So life is good right now. We're all working
together and I love working together. Sometimes
he can get to the Virgo. But hey, I love working
together. So I think as long as I stay cool,
the Virgo is cool. Yeah, he's pretty cool when
I'm cool. But if I get a little frustrated, then
he'll get frustrated and it just doesn't work.
So, unfortunately, this is my part of thriving.
I like to stay cool in situations where someone
is giving us proper instruction. there's nothing
wrong with having someone come on from the outside
let you know hey this may look better here all
for it okay let's work together let's keep moving
forward and let's hold the attitudes hey it's
always worth it to get some things done that's
what i'm here for okay but that was just me giving
you a life update on the home decor and we can
move right along because that's just what's going
on with the home decor There's other things to
update you guys on, but I'm just gonna start
there and I'm gonna switch it up for a second.
Okay, so if you guys are watching the news, I'm
sure you have heard of the Chicago mother that
speaks out after she and her children were attacked.
Okay, she's pressing charges against the parents
of the children that were responsible for attacking
her and her child. Now, I totally agree. as she
should be pressing charges against those parents
because there should be some home training. There
clearly was not enough home training. You never
put your hands on someone that is older than
you and or elderly. So I think they noticed that
she was sick in a way. She was limping slow.
It is said that she has like sicka cell. So she
doesn't move as fast as an average human being.
So she takes her time, you know. I don't think
that's any reason for any child to jump a mother.
Multiple children were jumping this mother. And
I think that's just, as a life decision, that
is crazy and sick. So I think it's just best
that she Just take this to the parents, take
them to court, because they should be definitely
raising their children to not touch older people
at all. Don't even, don't even touch them. Don't
even think about touching them. Okay? If you
have a problem with someone that is older than
you, call your mother. Okay? That's it. Call
your mother for understanding, for clarity. Call
that sibling in your family that... does it turn
into fire automatically. Hopefully that's your
mother. So call your mother. But until then I'll
let you guys hear a little audio clip of what's
going on with that Chicago Chicago mother. So
just sit back and listen up. She's still in physical
pain after she and her son were brutally attacked
with her young daughter just steps away. Her
legs are bruised and it's hard for her to walk.
But what hurts her the most is her children are
still suffering. I felt helpless because I was
down on the ground and he was down on the ground.
and he's looking at me screaming like mommy please
help me help me i couldn't get up myself i couldn't
do nothing she's sick she has sickle cell so
i guess they seen a little weakness huh because
she's now kind of walking a little slower And
I'll just stop it right there because at the
end of the day As I said before, you never put
your hands on an adult. Like, where are these
people parents? Seriously. These kids need women.
They need a belt, a switch, something. Because
this is crazy. I'm not understanding what little
brain cell told them that that was okay. I'm
not understanding what life decision told them
as they grow. What did they hear? As they grow
up put your hands on any and everybody like this
is crazy. That is the most craziest life decision
I've ever ever Just heard anyone doing I've ever
encountered watching listening to crazy Yeah,
just watching that lady talk about the pain and
the video was viral this is What I mean when
I say I'm waiting wouldn't have to have children
Okay, I'm waiting because No, those the children
has been bullying the child for almost two years
based on how the mother looks and talks Clearly
they have too much time on their hands secondly
There needs to be some weapons in the house and
clearly there's not enough weapons going on in
the house Lastly they all need some counseling
if they're thinking it's okay to put their hands
on an older woman, they all need some counseling.
Might even need Jesus at the meeting, because
this is crazy. Like, what in your right mind
told you, let me just hit her non -stoppingly,
like repeatedly, let me hit her repeatedly, let
me have my friends join in? What brings hell?
This is crazy. That should not be life. But this
is crazy. I hope she gets the justice that she
needs by taking every single one of those parents
to court, pressing charges, for sure. Because
if I was up there, all those kids would have
been getting whooped. Don't ask me how, but one
at a time, three at a time, six at a time, that
would have been a fight I was born for. But it's
just crazy that you can't even go up to the school
help your kid out of a situation without getting
jumped on. Like that's crazy. That is beyond
crazy. So now she has to keep her spouse around.
God forbid if this happens again. She needs to
also find a better school because her son, her
child, her daughters, all of them deserve way
more than watching their parent get beat on by
children. They definitely deserve more when it
comes to bullying. Yeah, they don't need to be
getting bullied by other children There probably
isn't even reading on their grade level Just
saying it does happen those little be the ones
trying to bully you the ones that can't read
on their grade level or spell Just saying but
it's just crazy. This is very baffling The news
is absurd and why would those children do that?
I don't know. I hope they all get a whooping
with a switch Just saying. Somebody had to say
it. Shit, that's just life. If they get a whooping
with a switch, pat them on the back and just
say, well, you deserved it. That's just life.
Okay, every action has a reaction. So I'm not
understanding why they shouldn't be getting a
whooping or some charges shouldn't be pressed.
I hope she gets all that she needs due to just
going through that situation. Like that is baffling
crazy. But, you guys, I'm gonna switch it up
here because that piece of news had me going
when I heard about it. Had me going. So I knew
I had to share it on a pod. This is what I'm
talking about when I say life decisions. Like,
these are not the life decisions you should be
making. When I have a child, I would never tell
my child to hit an adult. No. You never hit an
adult. Ever. Ever ever ever ever. That's just
crazy. You have home training. Do you want me
to tell the adult to hit you? Like, I'm gonna
switch it up here, people. I told myself I'm
gonna do it. I'm not gonna stay upset about that
topic. Let's switch it up here, okay? Now, this
next topic I'm about to mention, let me just
say that I am very nervous, partially because
there are a lot of nurses in my family, so I'm
gonna be calling them to get their feedback,
of course, but... For starters, the Department
of Education proposal removes graduate nursing
and other health programs from the professional
degree list. Okay, so technically right now the
fields that qualify as professional programs
would be Medicaid, dentistry, pharmacy, law,
Certain certain ones you guys clinical psychology
veterinary medicine it's just medicine itself
Not Medicaid. Sorry medicine itself It's just
so many different professional Programs that
they're studying that qualifies now There's quite
a few That I just don't agree with They also
have chiropractic is one Theologically theologically.
Yeah, that's one so The one I I know I said theologically
really wrong so don't pay attention to that one
But the ones that I am very nervous about the
ones that they just recently the fields that
they're claiming that they're going to exclude
Automatically is grad nursing programs. I'm nervous
about that Physician assistant nurse practitioner
Sorry, yeah nurse practitioner physical therapy.
I'm nervous ideologically probably ideologically
programs like I'm nervous for these these fields
specifically, these programs specifically, because
I know a lot of people that are in the grad nursing
programs. I know a lot of nurse practitioners.
So I'm like, wait, what the heck? This is crazy.
Like, what in his right mind? What in the right
mind of the Department of Education? Wow. Like,
this is one of those big, beautiful bill proposals.
This is what they were speaking of when they
said the big beautiful build yeah, this is baffling
because When it comes to the nurse field not
everyone can do everything you literally need
every part every aspect of this because Not everybody
knows what they're doing in there like I'm telling
you I've listened to my sisters my friends my
family members that have worked in this field
and just started on graduate nursing. Like, hey,
they're like a lot of these nurses and a lot
of these assistants, they don't know what they're
doing. You need a specific training, specific
knowledge. And the knowledge that he's trying
to cut is the folks that's in the grad nursing
programs, nurse, practitioners, physical therapy,
like since when has physical therapy not been
something that's very much needed. Since when?
Because as a nurse, their job is not to do the
physical therapy. You know? That's just not their
field. As someone in law, their job is not to
do physical therapy. You know? Someone in medicine,
their job is not to do physical therapy. I can
go on. You know veterinary medicine their job
is not to do physical therapy. So why exclude?
These programs. I'm just I'm trying to wrap my
brain around Why would you exclude these programs
when it's like having a branch and you start
cutting off? You having a big tree you start
cutting off branches We need each part of the
branch to make the tree hope or else it won't
really look like a tree. So I'm just, if it's
not one thing, it's another in the USA. If it's
not one thing, it's another with Mr. President
Donald Trump. If it's not one thing, it is another
thing going on. These things like this, this
is what has people twisting and turning at night.
This stuff. is what has people scared to go to
the hospital. Because you got one person thinking
they can do everything when they have never been
in that field, seen that field, asked about that
field, researched that field, educated themselves
about that field. Why? Why? I don't understand
it. These are the life decisions that Mr. Donald
Trump is choosing to make, especially when it
comes to that big, beautiful bill. And I don't
understand why. This does not help the American
people at all. There's actual real situations,
real problems that we need solutions to. But
yet, we're focusing on things like excluding
grad nursing programs. Nurse practitioner physical
therapy. I Don't know why It's just so much I'm
just trying to figure out why what's the what
is the hurry to want to cut without actually
having a Speak to some of these people Let's
see their perspective because I know President
don't know everything so bring in some well trained
people that actually go to work, utilize their
tools, utilize their degrees, and let's just
hear what they have to say. I can guarantee you,
they can tell you and show you how much beneficial
they are to the branch, or to the tree actually.
I just, I don't understand why he thinks he needs
to go straight to cutting in the field that doesn't
need to be touched. Well, of course he just wants
to save money we got it but at the end of the
day it still makes no real sense No logic not
real logic, of course behind this get the experts
that are out there doing it hear from them It's
crazy. He just goes straight to cutting cutting
cutting cutting It's baffling. I'm not sure what
the heck they're doing over there anymore but
I'm gonna read a little bit more about this because
I know this is going to affect a lot of people.
So I'm going to also read more. I'm going to
talk to some of my people to see how they truly
feel about it. Because I need more opinions.
People that actually are in the field doing these
things. This is crazy. This is baffling. My apologies.
But this is baffling. This is crazy. I'm going
to shake it up here. My apologies about that
auto clip that just played. But I'm going to
move right along because I'm not perfect myself.
I'm gonna take a breather, and then I'm gonna
get right back to it. Now, let's put the political,
more important, put the political news to the
side, and we're gonna get into another Real Housewife
of Potomac situation here. Yes, there is another
housewife out there on the news. Got a mugshot.
I'm gonna let you guys hear the clip. because
clearly people are just out here doing fraud,
doing scams, going left or right, doing things
the illegal way. Just hold tight. Listen to this
audio clip. She had an active warrant out for
her arrest. You may remember she was wanted by
the city of Atlanta on larceny charges. Police
say it was in connection to furniture theft.
She's now being held at the Fulton County Jail.
Fules Thornton appears on the Real Housewives
of Potomac television show. OK, so you guys heard
it. There was some furniture theft out there.
And according to the report filed by the Atlanta
Police Department. Mia moved out of her condo
on October 28th and took approximately $11 ,000
worth of furniture, including the television.
Now the condo owner reported to the police on
November 6th that Mia had moved out in the middle
of the night without notice and took the items
with her. So she's currently being charged with
larceny after being arrested at the Hearth...
for hartsfield jackson atlanta international
airport and booked into fountain felton county
jail on wednesday so they have body camera footage
they revealed that mia was aware of the warrant
for her arrest so she was getting ready to get
on out of here clearly yeah she was about to
hit the road Don't you come back no more no more.
Yeah, she was about to hit the road. Okay. She
was on her way to The train station no, I'm kidding.
No, she was headed to the plane She was about
to go Maybe even on vacation knowing there was
a warrant out for her arrest Why are we making
these life decisions? why I Don't know clearly
everybody has something going on There's just
too much there must be something in the air.
That's making people think that they can get
away with theft fraud schemes Don't even put
me in the box because I can't handle that type
of pressure. So I don't even know why they can
Clearly didn't think they were gonna gonna get
caught Mia didn't think she was gonna get caught
I don't know what's going on here people but
clearly the folks of the police of the all the
departments are working together to kind of come
after folks so if you ask me just do things on
the straight and narrow be better make better
life decisions because every action has a reaction
like i said it literally every action has a reaction
people will be watching you people will be doing
their due diligence they will be collecting their
receipts and they won't stop until they get you
so Let's not try anything crazy now, people.
Alright? That's just what I can advise you guys.
Don't try anything crazy. As you see, life is
going into another spiral of ways. Try to navigate
the legal way. That's all I can really say. Navigate
the legal way. But since this is episode 80...
And I clearly have so much more to do when it
comes to decorating over here in my life. Reorganizing,
putting things where they should be, making more
space. That's just my time. I'm going to leave
you out with a piece of advice and we'll go and
we'll continue to grow this pod. We will be going
to episode 81. I'm proud of myself for getting
to episode 80. I've got to episode 80 out here
