1
00:00:00,000 -->
00:00:04,960
Scott, what's amazing about social media, about these platforms, you just never know
2
00:00:05,600 -->
00:00:08,640
which of your posts are going to take off. Everybody talks about the algorithm, they talk
3
00:00:08,640 -->
00:00:13,760
about you do all this stuff and it's going to lead you down this path so you can strike lightning,
4
00:00:13,760 -->
00:00:18,879
right? But you just never know. But we had a post that took off. I think we need to take a look at
5
00:00:18,879 -->
00:00:24,799
that. What do you think? Let's play it. Let's see what you said got us in trouble. Singers voice
6
00:00:24,799 -->
00:00:31,680
gives you chills every time you hear that. Oh, you know who gets me? Andrea Bocelli.
7
00:00:32,959 -->
00:00:34,639
Do you know who that is? Absolutely not.
8
00:00:37,119 -->
00:00:44,320
He's a blind Italian opera singer. Just gives you chills. He has an incredible voice. He really
9
00:00:44,320 -->
00:00:48,480
does have an incredible voice. We'll have to pull some up. We have to find some so we pull it up.
10
00:00:48,480 -->
00:00:53,279
And he sings a lot of contemporary stuff. I'll tell you, I'll tell you the Celtic women
11
00:00:53,840 -->
00:00:59,840
singing at Christmas gives me chills. Interesting Celtic women. You don't even know who they are,
12
00:00:59,840 -->
00:01:05,519
do you? Yeah, come on, man. You know who else I like? You ever hear of Enya? No. Man,
13
00:01:05,519 -->
00:01:10,480
you're not very cultured. Yeah, I'm cultured, but I'm cultured with a purpose.
14
00:01:13,279 -->
00:01:17,519
Now, I don't know where, where the the
15
00:01:18,480 -->
00:01:22,720
what, what problem is like, like, I'm trying to understand
16
00:01:24,080 -->
00:01:30,559
why anyone would misunderstand when I say cultured with a purpose. Let's go and let's address some
17
00:01:30,559 -->
00:01:33,919
of these comments. And what I want to do is we're gonna we're gonna go through them, you know,
18
00:01:33,919 -->
00:01:38,639
pretty quickly. But we're gonna have Chrissy pull those up. And then we're going to address those.
19
00:01:38,639 -->
00:01:43,839
I will take we'll swap one after the other. I'll start. So we got the first one. So Deacon,
20
00:01:43,839 -->
00:01:51,839
we've been over this. So we have pastor. Yeah, we have been over this. And I like to,
21
00:01:51,839 -->
00:01:57,839
I like what I like. And if I don't like it, I say it's not my thing. It's not what I do. It
22
00:01:57,839 -->
00:02:02,480
doesn't mean it's bad. It doesn't mean that it's not good. It just means that's not what I do or
23
00:02:02,480 -->
00:02:11,360
what I gravitate towards. I want to know more about the cultured with a purpose lifestyle.
24
00:02:11,520 -->
00:02:16,960
I guess that's I don't know if that's addressing me or not. But the culture with a purpose lifestyle
25
00:02:16,960 -->
00:02:24,960
just means I if I like rap music, I like rap music. I know the artist in that genre. I understand the
26
00:02:24,960 -->
00:02:30,160
history of rap music. I understand the ups the downs, the highs and lows, the movers, the shakers
27
00:02:30,160 -->
00:02:37,759
and all those things. If I like R&B, or if I like soul or if I like Motown, then that is a to me that
28
00:02:37,759 -->
00:02:43,679
is cultured with a purpose means you're actually paying attention to things that you like doesn't
29
00:02:43,679 -->
00:02:47,919
mean that things you don't like are irrelevant. So that's what I mean when I say culture. See,
30
00:02:47,919 -->
00:02:52,240
I like big butts and I don't know why. That's all because you were in Florida with Luke.
31
00:02:54,240 -->
00:03:01,199
Andrea Bocelli is the goat! Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point. And that's
32
00:03:01,199 -->
00:03:04,559
got Mitchell culture with a purpose. There you go. That's why he likes
33
00:03:04,800 -->
00:03:11,919
legit white answers. You know, I thought about this. Guess what? I'm white. What can I say? I
34
00:03:11,919 -->
00:03:16,399
can't change it. I'm sure brothers like some of the things you like. All I was saying is when I
35
00:03:16,399 -->
00:03:19,600
know I made the statement to I said, Look, man, I'm a brother. Like when you talked about like
36
00:03:19,600 -->
00:03:25,360
Celtic women, right? Yeah. And all that, like, it was a statement mean that as part of the culture,
37
00:03:25,360 -->
00:03:28,880
you're not going to come across a lot of black folks going, man, and you know what, you want to
38
00:03:28,880 -->
00:03:32,559
go downtown, you want to go to the club, you want to go to the club, you want to go to the club,
39
00:03:32,720 -->
00:03:38,479
man, and you know what, you want to go down to this, this Celtic concert, and listen to know
40
00:03:38,479 -->
00:03:43,919
that. I'm telling you, I've been black for 56 years. Until he even mentioned that no one has
41
00:03:43,919 -->
00:03:52,320
ever in my entire life asked me. Do you like Celtic women singing songs? Never. Okay, so
42
00:03:53,360 -->
00:03:59,279
you asked me the question about what moved me, right? And the Celtic women at Christmas,
43
00:03:59,839 -->
00:04:04,960
I listened to them. Two weeks after, but the question was, do I? Do I listen? But
44
00:04:04,960 -->
00:04:09,600
right. But the reason I listened to it? Well, the comment was, you know, typical white answers.
45
00:04:10,399 -->
00:04:17,679
So the reason the Celtic women for me, my mother loved bagpipes. And they played Amazing Grace at
46
00:04:17,679 -->
00:04:24,799
my mom's funeral with the bagpipes. And it was unbelievable. And so I'm at the I'm at the Celtic
47
00:04:24,799 -->
00:04:30,880
women concert two weeks after my mom dies, they play at the concert, Amazing Grace with
48
00:04:30,880 -->
00:04:36,559
bad bagpipes. And I couldn't stop crying. Because it was very, you know, it was my mom and very
49
00:04:36,559 -->
00:04:42,079
touching time for me. And Enya. I'll just give you this. I'll give you some history here real
50
00:04:42,079 -->
00:04:45,519
quick. I know we got to get on to this, but I'm gonna give you some history real quick.
51
00:04:46,559 -->
00:04:53,679
So Enya, you're gonna laugh at me when I know you are because well, you'll find me I laugh at you
52
00:04:53,839 -->
00:04:57,600
know, I know that I'll laugh at you. And I'm glad you do because I'm glad you find humor in me
53
00:04:57,600 -->
00:05:03,679
because I'm very comfortable with who I am and what I like. But Enya, I used to listen to Enya,
54
00:05:03,679 -->
00:05:11,119
driving down I 75 every day from Clarkston, Michigan to the Detroit Silverdome. That was
55
00:05:11,119 -->
00:05:18,720
the music I played every day when I go to work. You know why? Why? Because our our work was like
56
00:05:18,720 -->
00:05:22,959
chaotic. Like it was high pressure. I don't I don't think people talk about that enough. We
57
00:05:22,959 -->
00:05:30,640
were under a lot of pressure. And, and just driving on the freeway was also like it's crazy,
58
00:05:30,640 -->
00:05:36,480
like Michigan drivers crazy. And and it was just the way to keep me in the right frame of mind
59
00:05:36,480 -->
00:05:42,000
that I just I it was always like my Zen time. And I just zoned out and I just put Enya on.
60
00:05:42,559 -->
00:05:48,399
And it was just and it was music that moved me every single day when I went to when I went to
61
00:05:48,399 -->
00:05:51,600
the Silverdome. I can roll with that. And it wasn't anything about being white.
62
00:05:52,000 -->
00:05:57,839
Listen, I did Sade. That I did a little Kim, you know, whatever. So yeah, I mean,
63
00:05:57,839 -->
00:06:03,200
who are they? Kim? Yeah, you know exactly who they are. Because your culture, you know that,
64
00:06:03,200 -->
00:06:07,760
you know, you know what I'm talking? I'm just kidding. I got it. Okay, so wait, Enya.
65
00:06:08,880 -->
00:06:16,559
Are you kidding me? What culture is that? Where? Enya is not known. Is not known.
66
00:06:17,359 -->
00:06:23,119
So what culture is it that Enya is not known? Apparently in the culture of well,
67
00:06:23,119 -->
00:06:29,760
if you're cultured with a purpose, that one. Here's the thing. I guarantee you this.
68
00:06:29,760 -->
00:06:34,799
The person would say what culture am I in where I wouldn't know a particular I can tell you right
69
00:06:34,799 -->
00:06:38,559
now. Most of you don't even know all the people in your office. You don't even know all the people
70
00:06:38,559 -->
00:06:44,239
in your family. You don't know everyone that's in your that was on your team or something that
71
00:06:44,239 -->
00:06:48,880
you play with. But you expected me to say I know people just because they exist in the world.
72
00:06:48,880 -->
00:06:55,519
That's not how it works. That is not how it works. It does not work because someone is widely,
73
00:06:55,519 -->
00:07:01,920
massively popular in another place. The world is huge and people have different and discerning
74
00:07:02,480 -->
00:07:07,200
things that they like. I mean, I'm sorry. That's not any offense. I just don't know the person.
75
00:07:08,160 -->
00:07:13,760
And come on. I mean, that's how that's how crazy that is. And and quite frankly,
76
00:07:13,760 -->
00:07:17,519
I don't care what people think of who I know and I don't know. I know the people I want to know
77
00:07:17,519 -->
00:07:21,440
and the people that I don't know, I don't know. Doesn't mean they're not bad. They're bad people.
78
00:07:21,440 -->
00:07:27,920
So that's it. That's me just being honest. Well, so when when you first said, like,
79
00:07:27,920 -->
00:07:34,239
I'm culture with a purpose. I wasn't like, oh, that's terrible. That's awful. You know how
80
00:07:34,640 -->
00:07:39,760
I was. I was like, well, what is it like? What do you mean by that? And as you've explained it to
81
00:07:39,760 -->
00:07:44,320
me, it's like, well, I'm I'm no different. Like it sounds different to people. Yeah,
82
00:07:44,320 -->
00:07:48,399
I would say it culture with a purpose. But it's exactly the same thing, because for me,
83
00:07:48,399 -->
00:07:55,040
it's like I I like all kinds of music. Like and that's my that's my purpose. Like my culture for
84
00:07:55,040 -->
00:08:00,720
purpose is I have a lot of different genres of music that aren't racial. They're not they're
85
00:08:00,720 -->
00:08:07,279
not a timeline. They're not in a certain genre, all these things. There are things that that
86
00:08:07,279 -->
00:08:13,519
sound good to me that move me that draw interest to me that, you know, I resonate with. And so
87
00:08:13,519 -->
00:08:18,079
there's my purpose. I don't like all music. I don't like all people that a lot of like
88
00:08:18,720 -->
00:08:24,239
Elaine Staley that that name came. I don't know who that is. Like I don't. And there's a lot of
89
00:08:24,239 -->
00:08:28,480
them. I don't I don't know. Listen, I guarantee most of the people that you can sit there and go
90
00:08:28,480 -->
00:08:34,479
name the presidents, the presidents of the United States or name important people that are in an
91
00:08:34,479 -->
00:08:38,719
industry. People will get to a certain number and stop. They may not even know who the actual
92
00:08:38,719 -->
00:08:44,000
pioneers and the founders are. And again, that goes back to you only are to go as deep as what
93
00:08:44,000 -->
00:08:47,119
you gravitate towards. That's why I don't get offended if someone goes, what culture are you
94
00:08:47,119 -->
00:08:50,640
from and what don't you know? No, I don't know everything. I don't know everything. I don't know
95
00:08:50,640 -->
00:08:56,239
everybody. And I'm OK with that. And the ones that I do want to know and the things that are
96
00:08:56,239 -->
00:09:01,679
interest of me, I learn more about them, period. And you don't excuse that away. You don't know
97
00:09:01,679 -->
00:09:09,440
what we find too much in culture is that people are pressured into learning and believing what
98
00:09:09,440 -->
00:09:13,840
people say they should know because they know it. What about if I don't want to know what you know
99
00:09:13,840 -->
00:09:17,760
and what have you found out something that, you know, and you've only done the surface,
100
00:09:17,760 -->
00:09:21,840
you may find out that you peel back the layers. The thing that you're telling me I should be
101
00:09:21,840 -->
00:09:24,799
really excited about and I really should gravitate towards and I really should know
102
00:09:24,799 -->
00:09:30,719
may be one of the worst things I could ever have spent my time on because you only did surface.
103
00:09:30,719 -->
00:09:35,919
I'm that person. I'm that person that goes, listen, when you you take leadership of what you
104
00:09:35,919 -->
00:09:41,200
know and you learn, it's not going to harm me because I don't know some person that that you
105
00:09:41,200 -->
00:09:45,840
think is important to you. Think about that. You know what I mean? So I went I went to China once
106
00:09:46,559 -->
00:09:52,960
and I was freaked out about going there. I was like, oh, man, the food is not like Chinese food
107
00:09:52,960 -->
00:09:58,559
we have here, which I likes, you know, Chinese food, Americanized Chinese food. And I was I was
108
00:09:58,559 -->
00:10:04,000
freaking out. It's a it's like a communist country that, you know, there's a lot of restrictions on
109
00:10:04,000 -->
00:10:09,119
on what you say and how you move and all this stuff. And I was just I was just panicked about
110
00:10:09,119 -->
00:10:14,719
it. And I thought I'm going to have a horrible time. I'm there for like six days and it's going
111
00:10:14,719 -->
00:10:21,599
to be awful. And it was all about, you know, kind of experimenting or experiencing a culture,
112
00:10:21,599 -->
00:10:26,159
like you said, that, you know, I had looked at it on the surface. I was just like, and I got over
113
00:10:26,159 -->
00:10:32,000
there was wonderful. Food was amazing. People were incredible. The whole experience was, was,
114
00:10:32,000 -->
00:10:38,400
was just it blew my mind how everything was fascinated with Americans. I couldn't walk
115
00:10:38,400 -->
00:10:44,880
around anywhere where people like 10s and 20s of people would come up and say hello, American,
116
00:10:44,880 -->
00:10:50,559
you know, and you're so big, you know, all this stuff. And, and they all want to take a picture,
117
00:10:50,559 -->
00:10:57,039
every single one of them. And it was just incredible. But I went, I had a very surface
118
00:10:57,039 -->
00:11:02,799
understanding of culture. And, and I'm and I was worried and an expectation. And then when I got
119
00:11:02,799 -->
00:11:08,080
into it, I was like, ah, it's not what I thought it was. So I get it. I don't know what it was. I
120
00:11:08,080 -->
00:11:13,520
don't know if it was I'm trying to think of what movie I don't know what it was. You just when you
121
00:11:13,520 -->
00:11:22,479
did that, you made me think of a movie about the Americans. All I know is this, man, I listen,
122
00:11:22,479 -->
00:11:28,479
I enjoy the comments. I thank you guys for for chiming in. Please, please keep the comments

124
00:11:32,320 -->
00:11:37,119
that's so racist, doesn't have to be racist, and racism and all these other things. But I love the
