Stepping in, because this is supposed to be a cipher, but I don't understand what any of you niggas are talking about right now because it's supposed to flow from one story to the next, capitalizing off your text.

SPEAKER_03 18:23

Uh uh. No, thank you. I don't want any association with anything other than me, Mamba, the original. I don't I don't need to be like anyone else. If anything, I'd rather be the the black Howard Stern. If anything, just keeping it really raw and keeping it really real and not feeling like I have to monitor myself and conversation. If I want to say shit fuck goddamn motherfucker. Shit. No, too short. No, that's mystical. No, too short. No, too short. I mean, I want to be able to do that. I mean, my goal eventually is hell, I'd like to be on satellite radio. I'd like to have a syndicated radio show. I have no problem sitting in a chair just talking to random people, you know, conversations with strangers. You know what I'm saying? That ought to be like the name. That would be a great technique where I just ran and like write that down, Eric. Write it down where I just randomly um call people and see if they answer. And it the segment would be conversation with strangers. I would introduce myself, let them know I'm doing a podcast segment called Conversations, which allowing people a space just to you know feel good and have a conversation with someone they don't know. That would be fucking dope.

SPEAKER_05 19:57

Yes, that is that's what who did Martin from uh the show, Martin Payne. Martin.

SPEAKER_03 20:04

Oh, he has a podcast where he does that.

SPEAKER_00 20:06

No, well, callers will call him.

SPEAKER_03 20:13

Yeah, yeah. That's what's up. That would be dope as fuck. And I record that shit, and then I could send it to them. That would be a great way to grab an audience that of people that I don't know because then they'll want to tune into the podcast and hear, you know what I'm saying? That conversation. You know, I could give them the opportunity to remain anonymous, you know, and not give them, you know, give out their name.

SPEAKER_00 20:41

You gotta have some giveaways. Now, you ain't open, like, we're not Oprah. We ain't gotta be curious, you know. A lot of people have a problem with talking.

SPEAKER_03 20:49

No, I'm not Oprah. I just it's just conversational.

SPEAKER_00 20:53

And so conversational is for them, you know, like even though, you know, just be the reminder of what you are and who you are. You have a voice.

SPEAKER_03 21:08

Well, kings and queens, there you have it. A very rough and ashy first-time edit of a sample phone call with my crazy, sexy but cool as fuck sister, Tamika. I'm using GarageBand for this edit, and it has been an experience. I am so excited for the future of this podcast, and associate links will be provided soon. In the meantime, I'm asking that you please, please like, follow, and share the SoundCloud link. I'm open to all of your advice and suggestions. With that said, be good, be safe, and stay healthy. Peace.
