A Travel Agent Explains How To See The World Without Going Broke

Noadvisory Podcast Season 7

Send us a text

The jokes land fast, but the pivots are sharper. We start with pop culture  and slide into a jaw‑drop NC headline—one woman burned last year, shot at this year—then wrestle with the viral video of a teen shattering his mom’s windshield and the fallout that followed. It’s messy, human, and honest, the way real life is before it becomes a tidy post. That energy sets the stage for a gut‑punch scenario: a daycare hands your child to the wrong person. Do you flip tables or make calls? Both? The fear sparks a practical checklist you can actually use.

Then we zoom out to the mind behind the reactions. Using Freud as a simple scaffold, we map hive minds through id, ego, and superego—why trends feel like needs, why a weakened ego avoids hard choices, and how shame polices milestones. We call out autopilot living in the small stuff: chasing status cups, performative rest, “new year, new me” scripts. The alternative is quieter and braver: choose consciously, communicate clearly, and stop tying your worth to constant usefulness. Therapy, boundaries, and better words help; yes, we teach a few you’ll actually use.

Finally, we trade outrage for itineraries. Travel agent and artist Sean Wesley shows how to see more for less without getting scammed or stuck. We unpack last‑minute cruise math, adult‑only lines, onboard credits, balcony vs ocean‑view, port timing, and why a good agent often saves you more than going it alone. Resorts, excursions, safety, host agencies, commissions—it’s the inside playbook. Group trip sanity checks included: separate rooms, clear budgets, smart excursions, and realistic expectations.

Come for the laughs, stay for the tools: how to think past the herd, talk like you mean it, and travel like you planned it. If this hit home—or helped plan your next escape—tap follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find us.

A 23-year-old man, Jamie Griffin, was arrested and charged with felony attempted murder.

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_03:

And then court documents revealed that Griffin was Ashanti's former boyfriend and also her sister, Beyonce Donnie, father of her two children. So she was dating her boyfriend's baby dad. Oh, she's a big channel. She was dating her boyfriend's baby daddy. Her sister's baby daddy. Her sister's baby daddy, she was gonna say that. That's why it was intentional. That's why they wanted to catch her on barbecue road. That was very intentional. That was very intentional.

Her sister wasn't the one with the gas, but her boyfriend did. So I don't know. Her sister probably told him to throw gas in the room. No, they got the gas and the shit. He probably just and then that's through it all in the light at the same time. He could have got himself. You won't think him. Go ahead. My bad. But this year, according to arrest warrants, Ashanti Downey and Beyonce Downey was allegedly shot at Monday. While sitting at sitting in a white 2013 high-day Elantra on Carleton Road.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, she's gonna be a good one. She cut a story. Tell the story. So early December, the mother, Chaquilla, posted a video. See your name like Shaquilla. So let's not judge Shaquilla. I'm judging you. No, we're definitely gonna judge Shaquilla. She didn't know how to do it. She did name Shaquilla. No, we're not gonna judge the name, but we're gonna judge her for what the fuck she did. No, I'm judging the shit. She did that shit to herself. She did it to herself. I didn't look too deep into it. So I was just talking about the name part, okay. She posted a video that went viral with her son, Dakota, who's taking his dude Dakota. Dakota Dakota. He was taken away from his mom due to his out of control anger. In a video, he was seen throwing rocks at his mother's windshield while other kids in a car, and he was cracking it with every rock he threw trying to break the glass. DHS seen the video since it went viral, and they took Dakota into their custody, placing him into foster care.

SPEAKER_08:

He got his ass beat.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, after being placed in foster care, she received the mother, Chula, received videos and pictures of her son with bloody noses, bruises, and cuts, which came from being allegedly assaulted by another child in a foster care under DHS supervision.

SPEAKER_08:

As they should.

SPEAKER_03:

And honestly, I don't think that you know, I think he deserves it. He definitely deserved it. He definitely deserves it.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, yeah, badass kid. Y'all ain't seen the video?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I saw the video. Because he probably was bad as fuck in foster care. And they was like, yo, you can't be acting like that. Just beat that nigga up.

SPEAKER_08:

Like, I don't know. I'm just like, I would just have to stick it out. And now she's pleading for guilty. Which is crazy. That's what it reminds me of. That's your man. That's literally what I was giving.

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_03:

That's what I said. My comment on the video was what was he doing before she puts the record? Right. Right. You know how much you gotta take to finally be like, let me get this shit on camera. Come on now. I think she probably got more videos because she said that it would he had like multiple outrages like that. So she probably just posted that one.

SPEAKER_08:

So she lived away from her family.

SPEAKER_03:

She's trying to get back to her family to get support, which she is from. Minnesota. So she's trying to get back to Minnesota to go back. Because she wants the one that's in foster care. She wants him back. She's pleading guilty to get him back.

SPEAKER_08:

I would leave that nigga, right?

SPEAKER_03:

But they don't want to give him back to her. Oh, thank goodness with them doing their job. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

I mean, he needs discipline. You, you, that's the type of nigga you won't get mad if he get his ass whooped in public by a switch with a belt. You don't, you ain't gonna get mad.

SPEAKER_03:

That's why I said she did it to herself because she posted a video, went viral.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, I mean, that you know, the people in the comments be the ones snitching. Yeah, y'all some snitches. Oh. I need y'all to know that.

SPEAKER_08:

And fuck up, man.

SPEAKER_03:

It is what it is. They probably know decorative.

SPEAKER_08:

One of y'all motherfuckers don't know what decor is.

SPEAKER_03:

No, but I mean I have kids. I mean, well, a couple of us have kids, whatever. But let's just say, I know we're spending a little bit of time on this topic. But if your kid was a child who needed a little bit of extra help and they were acting up in that way, are you gonna give up on your child? Like, I don't, I'm not saying, oh, I want my child to be my ass. No, but I'm gonna do everything that there is to do. I don't know in that situation if the mom did do everything that she needed to do, but at 13 years old, that's not the age to be like, I'm done. Like for me. And I've worked in that field, and I'm sure a lot of us have, where it's something more going on with the kid. He's not just acting out for any reason, and that's where you have to look more into things. I don't think she was done though. Yes, I did see her. I think she just posted it. I think they took it out of her hands. So mom. Yeah, they took it out of her hands to be spoken. So she couldn't really do nothing. Like, I don't know, size doesn't matter, but you're right. Saster than that. I love y'all. You badly.

SPEAKER_08:

We need some good shit now. What the fuck? It's nothing. Razor blade and eights?

SPEAKER_10:

No, just razor blades. Oh, I thought you said razor blades.

SPEAKER_08:

Razor blades and bread.

SPEAKER_06:

I thought you said AIDS and bread.

SPEAKER_08:

Right? I was like, that's fucked up. You probably still wild as fuck.

SPEAKER_06:

It's good in bread, though. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_03:

On December 5th, a customer at CT Switzer's uh Senior Drive Walmart location found a razor blade and a banana nut muffin and reported it. And a banana nut muffin. Employees believed it was an isolated incident, and after no other compromise items were discovered, two days later, another customer at the pass road location found a razor blade and a loaf of bread, and after a third complaint and razor blades and fishing hooks being aside loafs of breads and muffins, the police were contacted.

unknown:

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_08:

Who did it? It's gotta be some white person shit.

SPEAKER_03:

It was actually a black girl. A black woman looked crazy. Yeah, she did look crazy. A black girl did this. What's her name? Her name is Camille Benson. Oh, okay. I thought it was this little girl that my my aunt and uncle used to false, but that little helper put toothpicks in the cupcake for the birthday party. I thought it was.

SPEAKER_07:

I was just at an event. I had to um shoot like a birthday for this older woman. And when her birthday cake came out, they cut it and it was scissors in the cake. Scissors in the cake. We got it on video and everything. We got it from PlayPro.

SPEAKER_03:

I need to see that.

SPEAKER_07:

I was coughing in the video and everything because I need that lawsuit.

SPEAKER_03:

Like, can we do a trigger on that? Or intrusive thoughts? No, right. I would never act on mine, but I have very, very, very many. Yeah, yeah, I know. Facts. We got a lot of intrusive thoughts. Like, cause why would you do that?

SPEAKER_08:

You just in the story, like, oh, let me just put a razor blade in the back.

SPEAKER_03:

I think she went in there purposely in all those locations to do that. Because I think she had a mask on. Like a uh something on her nose. Yeah, it was something, yeah. Like, I don't know, it was like a, you know, like not a full mask, but like a Halloween type mask that you still see her eyes and nose, and you know, it's like some bunny ears type shit.

SPEAKER_07:

So ain't raised no red flags. Somebody knows who she is. Somebody somewhere.

SPEAKER_03:

They probably thought she was a weirdo. Yeah. Just walking in Walmart. You know, Walmart have a lot of weirdos. She go down in Walmart. But she was taken into custody on December and charged with attendant mayhem. A serious charge. What? What? Attempted mayhem.

SPEAKER_08:

Attended mayhem. Attempted mayhem. Mayhem. Attempted mayhem. Well, how would she get charged with that?

SPEAKER_03:

Because she was trying to cause a remote. Yeah, she was attended.

SPEAKER_08:

She did it secretly, right?

SPEAKER_03:

She charged Ty to attempt to harm. So it could have harmed somebody.

SPEAKER_08:

They've been just making up all types of charges and shit.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, because I never heard of that. Attempted mayhem. Her bond was set to a hundred thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_08:

Hundred thousand?

SPEAKER_03:

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03:

Um that that is it. That is it. Hit the cue. It really is.

SPEAKER_05:

Can I see that lighter, please?

SPEAKER_08:

Can I see that letter, please? Make sure you block yourself.

SPEAKER_02:

Thank you, mean, love you.

SPEAKER_08:

Hey. Oh. Alright, so what would you do? So if y'all are familiar with No Vise Podcast, you know my what would you do are normally accounts by me or accounts that somebody else went through, or something that I saw. So this account was something that somebody else went through. So what would you do? Most of us got kids in here, so this is a sensitive subject. What would you do? What would you do? You know, daily routine. Wake your kids up. You get them clothed, wash their asses, brush their teeth, get them dressed and all that. Daily routine to take them, you know, you know that, all that, all that. You know that. You know, do the daily routine, take your kids to daycare. Okay, I'll see you later. I'll pick you up back to school. Go ahead, do your work duties, and you're excited to come pick your child up back to school. Because maybe you got something for them. You know, it's a special day. You're gonna pick a child up for school, and you're like, okay, you know, where's little Timmy or where's little Julie? And you know, the uh teachers there say, oh, well, little Julie and Timmy, they left already. And you're like, left already? Check again. Cause uh I'm picking them up. You're like, no, they're gone. Little Julie and Timmy gone. So stop. What would you do if you go to the daycare and little Julie and Timmy is gone?

SPEAKER_03:

Crashing out immediately. That's like a Netflix movie. Nope. I definitely saw a show and a movie recently when this happened. It's her fault or something like that. Something like that, what the girl was blamed for, and it's a whole conspiracy. Yeah, like they cleaned up the hair. Yeah, it's giving double jeopardy. But uh um listen to my girl Lex. I am flipping tables, uh-huh. I'm putting children on the ground to look for my child. Whoever whoever teaches that getting yanked up by their collar. What? What you what? Mm-mm. No, no. Get just heist up into the high heavens. Like, what you mean? Julie and Timmy is gone, bitch. What? No, I can't even I can't even imagine that. That's crazy. I I I'm with you, baby girl. I'm so with you, girl. We're gonna be riding and dying. And that's very unfortunate to say because I wouldn't even think twice. There's nothing else to say but fucking everybody up and then figuring out where to fuck my kids at. Because y'all were responsible for my kids when I bring them here in the morning. Y'all shouldn't have left my let my kid go or whatever the case is. But Yeah, they're gonna have to call the police. More than the police, bitch. They might have to call the fucking mental asylum. They're gonna have to call them. All of them. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

What would you do, Swish? Call my baby mama first.

SPEAKER_05:

And then what you gonna call your baby's baby mama first?

SPEAKER_03:

Did you get the baby?

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, that's the because that's the only motherfucker who got permission.

SPEAKER_03:

Like, we don't think your baby mama said nope.

SPEAKER_07:

Where the fuck juju at? Juju? Her teacher said she's gone. And you gonna do it?

SPEAKER_01:

You lost you lost our baby.

SPEAKER_02:

You lost the dog.

SPEAKER_07:

She's coming through the phone. Like, she on tweet. Like, I probably won't even have to do nothing. My baby mama's gonna go off, nigga. I'm telling you. She liked that. I'm gonna be riding with him. You're gonna like bro. This motherfucker. I'm gonna be the rational one. I'm gonna call the police. I'm gonna call the police. I'm gonna let her crash out and go to jail.

SPEAKER_03:

Nah, you're gonna let her go to jail. It's crazy. I think the men would crash out as well, but women's our our mother instinct is just gonna like it's nothing else to say. It's just black.

SPEAKER_07:

She cusses me out if I'm one minute late. Yeah. In the pickup line. Not picking her up. No, it don't matter. It don't matter.

SPEAKER_03:

Don't let the building experience that. Like even three minutes late. They be like, where's my period?

SPEAKER_08:

We got an alternate mic for the studio audience.

SPEAKER_03:

Nah, we had that bootleg one that was messing up.

SPEAKER_08:

No, because you got two over there. The other one don't work.

SPEAKER_03:

Megan has to be too much. To be free.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh, she got a mic? Where'd you get that mic from? He said, no, I don't want to be a part of this shit.

SPEAKER_02:

What would you do, Bella?

SPEAKER_04:

Um, okay, so who was the person that's supposed to be like required? Like, you don't like they have a little paper that you sign? I don't have kids, so who's like who had permission to that is a good that is a good question.

SPEAKER_08:

Just so say that the mother only had the permission to pick him up.

SPEAKER_03:

Ain't no way. Ain't no way. If the mother only had, like, I can't, y'all can't be rational. You can't be rational in situations like that if you the only person with permission. And technically they supposed to be checking IDs and shit. They should before they let the kids. That motherfucker look like me or something. Hell no, I'm going off with that. Yeah, the same car? They done kidnapped my child, they stealing their organs. I'm flipping shit. I swear to God, I'm flipping with it. I promise you, I'm flipping shit. I wouldn't even think about it. As soon as they be like, they not here. Oh fuck. Call the police. What you mean they not here? Call them. What you mean they not here? And then, like Swish said, you might have to think a couple places. Like, I just moved here. So for me, if this happened right now, I would call my best friend and then just be like from there, like, bitch, you ain't gonna get him? Well, what the fuck? Like, that's when I would start freaking out. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_08:

Like anybody else? Okay. So apparently, little Timmy and Julie.

SPEAKER_03:

That wasn't their name before, was it? It wasn't? What was her name? Billy? Yeah, Billy. I feel like there's someone else in the middle. It was Billy.

SPEAKER_08:

Billy and Julie.

SPEAKER_03:

You gotta stay consistent with it if you're not gonna be. These are fake names. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Pick two.

SPEAKER_08:

Okay, Timothy and Billy, Billy, Billy and Julie, right? That was it? So Billy and Julie apparently were picked up by a male that wasn't even, he mistakenly, the kids mistakenly went with the male, right? And the kids, I ain't gonna, I forget the whole in the middle of the story, but the kids were found at the man's house on the floor chilling. When the mother got with of okay, who got the kids and found the kids at the guy's house, and the mother of the the guy that got took the kids was like, who the fuck kids is these? And I guess he didn't know who fucking kids were because the kids just came. I'm my thing is if you took the kids, you took the kids from the daycare, you got in the car, you drove all the way to your house. Kidnapping. How the hell you didn't know that these two little motherfuckers ain't yours? You you got two kids, you got four kids in the car.

SPEAKER_03:

Right. That's kidnapping. He won't expect his mama to come home. So he said that he thought that his her son was his son, but his son is very light-skinned, and no, her son is very light-skinned, and his son is very dark skinned. Oh, you know the story? I do. Me and Dommy know the story. What really happened for real?

SPEAKER_07:

He must be a father that don't come see his kid a lot. So that was like his first time picking him up from school or some shit? Or what?

SPEAKER_03:

We don't know. I started to think up.

SPEAKER_07:

Everybody needs to go to jail. Even the kids. Take the kids to jail too. I don't trust nobody. This shit got me feeling ever on the kids.

SPEAKER_03:

It was the random man and them chilling on the floor for me, and like that. That's what happened. Right, Diamond?

SPEAKER_06:

Diamond.

SPEAKER_03:

Right, Diamond was there.

SPEAKER_06:

You right.

SPEAKER_03:

You do what you said. I'm not sure. It is happening Turks and Kos.

SPEAKER_07:

80% right. This happened in Turks. It is happening Turks. This is some Turk shit. This ain't no American shit.

SPEAKER_08:

You've heard my, I want to hear the story. You gotta tell the story. Why not? Is it somebody that you really, really know? No? Okay, so tell it.

SPEAKER_03:

We can't tell the story. We can't tell the story.

SPEAKER_07:

G4 classified?

SPEAKER_03:

Oh my god. This is real. Yes, it's real. That's what it is. Oh, this is wild. Hey. It's time to say. Hey. I need to smoke.

SPEAKER_07:

On a dead homies. You took somebody else's kids. Cut.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_07:

Like, how could that even happen? What is wrong with you? I don't know how that could happen. I was you, you, I would have walked in. Everybody in your children. Even though you're going to be able to do that. I would have walked in your shit. Run up to you. And I would've traumatized my kids by how bad I was doing it. You know, like with your parents. I probably would have killed that.

SPEAKER_08:

You would have looked at the kid in the face and be like, I want to tell my kid.

SPEAKER_07:

You got my daughter in your motherfucking living room, nigga. Y'all ass finna. We was on there before we even knew it was gonna be. My baby mama glid. She can stay out of this one. That's all I need.

SPEAKER_03:

I was ready. I was ready to turn up before you.

SPEAKER_08:

So listen, that was what would you do? What would you do if you go to the daycare? You gonna pick up your kids? Are you the only parent person listed to pick up your children? And you get there, and the daycare said, Your children are gone. We sent them off for somebody else.

SPEAKER_07:

I'ma own that daycare. What would you do? I'ma own that motherfucker, polo. Okay. No, I'm bugging out. That's my shit. We turned that shit into a motherfucking studio, though.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, y'all need to go to jail.

SPEAKER_07:

Trigger!

SPEAKER_03:

I swear to God. Is it me or daycare?

SPEAKER_07:

What daycare is.

SPEAKER_03:

Y'all need to report daycare of giving children away. That wasn't Philly. You won't know it. It was in Philly.

SPEAKER_07:

Report them anyway. That sounds like someone's care of giving children away. That sounds like some Philly shit. Philly? Where the murder rate is damn near the highest? You're gonna let somebody's kids go with a stranger.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, that's crazy. If I was them, I would sue the shit.

SPEAKER_03:

And then beyond that, you're gonna take somebody else's kids. Like, I'm just baffled on that.

SPEAKER_07:

As soon as you see the kids, see now that I know it's Philly. Now I know he ain't see his kid though his kid. Right. Niggas ain't taking care of their kids. What was it?

SPEAKER_03:

The parent line? He just let the kids get in the car and then he ain't ready.

SPEAKER_07:

Every Philly rapper I know, don't talk about their daddy. And the one that dude, Meek Mill, his daddy died when he was younger. Oh my god. So these Philly niggas that take care of their kids. He ain't know what his kid looked like. That's a fact, bro.

SPEAKER_03:

That's the conclusion I came to, too. That's crazy. Or or he, you know, uh, you know, one of them. Um, hi everybody. Hi, baby. It is a week. It is the last week that we were doing a podcast before the new year. Y'all already know we've been talking about high minds this entire month. We were talking about high minds and dating last month. Or not last month, last week. Well, I'm talking about. And then the first week of the month, I broke down what high minds were. But we also know that today is gonna be our high minds as well. But I'm gonna switch it up. We're gonna talk about the bigger picture. We're gonna use some uh Freud's. Everybody know who Sigmund Freud is? Yes, yes, he's crazy as hell, but he's one of my favorite. Favorite. One they used, they say that he's the father of psychology. I wouldn't say all that. It's a couple people before him that had a little bit more.

SPEAKER_06:

Sig Freud, and he had a part that they pre-freuded.

SPEAKER_03:

Sigmund. Sigmund. Yeah, he did. Okay, so he is the one that came up with like the orals fixation and the anal's fixation to where people have different fixations on like different parts. He also said that.

SPEAKER_07:

That's what he did.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, he also said that, you know, sons are infatuated with their mothers and moth and infatuated with that.

SPEAKER_07:

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03:

It was him. That was him.

SPEAKER_07:

I digress. The only reason I know this nigga is because hey Wayne, with the lick reed, we make magic, young Roy and Sig Fred. Uh-huh. So I don't know. I thought he was a magician. Oh, he thought he was a magician. It might be a magic. Because Wayne said that on Igmen shit with him and Drake. Wayne said that. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know if there's a magician.

SPEAKER_07:

Crazy Drake with the Lick Reed. We make magic, Young Roy and Sigfred. Nah, is that different names?

SPEAKER_03:

No, if he's talking about with the Lick Reed, he definitely talking about Sigmund and Floyd. Because he had talking about the oral fixation. But it's not, it's not even.

SPEAKER_08:

That's a big art.

SPEAKER_03:

That's crazy. It's not even what you think. Because when it's or an oral fixation, it's more so like people that like to bite their nails. I was gonna say, because some of you never knew who that was. The oral fixation.

SPEAKER_08:

It's just it's just more so like That's me, I'd be biting my putting something towards your mouth.

SPEAKER_03:

Back on topic, Swish. We're not even gonna talk about that for Freud. We're gonna talk about Freud's id ego and super ego. Is anybody familiar with id ego and super ego?

SPEAKER_07:

No. Let go my ego.

SPEAKER_03:

Lego my ego. So just to piggyback off of. The last two weeks. Um what do y'all think hive minds show up the most? In group settings.

SPEAKER_07:

Hive minds?

SPEAKER_03:

Hive minds. Did you pay attention the last two weeks? Social media.

SPEAKER_07:

I wasn't here that one week.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, you wasn't here that one week. My bad. Social media is a good response. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Uh church. School. Definitely church. Workplace. Definitely podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, we ain't got no hive minds in here. We don't follow up. I ain't no follow-up myself. I can only speak for myself. So first we're gonna talk about the id. And it is spelled ID, for those who don't know the id. And it is more so like your I want. So all of these are revolving around an individual person, just to make that clear. So it is the impulse, it's desire, it's fear, it's pleasure, validation, it's belonging. So that is what IG is. And um real-world examples of IG would be uh buying things because everyone else has them. And I'm relating these back to high minds. I love my Stanley. I interviewed before you had a Stanley. I didn't give a fuck about a Stanley. I cared about a tumbler that was good for ice.

SPEAKER_07:

Would you associate that with a vanity stuff?

SPEAKER_03:

Your friend got a Stanley. I'm guilty. My daughter has the same exact one. She literally just got the same one at least. So I get it. Another example would be uh jumping on outrage without the full information. I am definitely a huge person for that. I I hear something, and then my immediate response is turn up. Yep. Like I just see myself in my head flipping tables. That's just immediately, and you know, once I get the details, I try to be like oh, bring it back in a little bit. And then, but still it's always turn up and flip tables. So high minds protect the id by removing personal responsibility. So my next question is gonna be how often do we mistake desire for alignment? So desire is wants versus your internal like state of mind. I'm about 50.

SPEAKER_07:

Using a sentence.

SPEAKER_03:

This is not words of the day. He can't comprehend it. He can't comprehend it.

SPEAKER_07:

Thank you.

SPEAKER_03:

Desire versus I'm interested.

SPEAKER_07:

That's all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_03:

Let's say I wanted to go to the Dominican Republic and get a mommy makeover. That idea.

SPEAKER_07:

Which is a desire.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, that's my desire.

SPEAKER_07:

RP the D.

SPEAKER_03:

But internally, I don't want it because I'm afraid that it might cause harm to me or I might not make it off the table. So that's where you're putting your desire over your true alignment.

SPEAKER_07:

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It might fuck me up, bro. It's bad for me, but I really, but it's bad for me.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, you struggle with that a lot. That's what it is. That's what the next one, the ego is the decision maker. So ego balances desire and rules using logic and awareness. I talk about people's egos all the time. I'll tell somebody in the heart, but you gotta check your ego at the door because you you gotta understand and process the situation for what it is and not process it out of emotion. So signs of a weakened ego are avoiding conflict when, even when something feels wrong. Uh so if you don't like confrontation, me, I don't like confrontation. Same. I love it. I do not like confrontation. I don't facts. I only do I it's kind of like the you guys know what the bystander effect is? No. Tell us, tell us, friend, tell us. Bystandard effect is when people see stuff going on and they just assume somebody else is gonna do something about it.

SPEAKER_08:

What is it called? The bystander effect?

SPEAKER_03:

So, like if you if you walk you walking past somebody getting their ass beat and you see other people out there, bystander effect is damn, I'm gonna mind my business. Somebody else gonna do something. At work, that happens a lot, man. Somebody else gonna do something.

SPEAKER_08:

We all got bystander effect effectorism.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I'll be minding my business hard. Another sign of a weakened ego is dating people who look good on paper but feel wrong emotionally. I'm not that wrong. It's a lot of people. Say that if you haven't done that. Dating people who look good on paper feel wrong emotionally. Yeah. Women are famous for doing this. Facts. We will definitely take a man who has the things of the things. I think niggas are more famous for doing that. I think niggas are more famous.

SPEAKER_07:

I think they're more famous for doing that.

SPEAKER_03:

I think I think men don't really care about what looks good on paper. They they care more about what looks good in person. No, no, no, no. They care more about what looks good in person. They care about the ass and the titties more than that. Men are visual.

SPEAKER_07:

You'll fuck with a fine ass bitch who ain't got her shit together.

SPEAKER_03:

Men are visual. A woman, a woman, nine times out of ten, if you don't have a college degree and she got a college degree, she ain't really looking at you. Facts. What?

SPEAKER_01:

Huh?

SPEAKER_03:

There's a lot of females like that. Okay, okay. That's like happening. You ain't got your shit together.

SPEAKER_07:

Because a lot of them be dealing with eight shit niggas as they're getting degrees and shit.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, as you coming up. So once you get a degree, the price done went up.

unknown:

Right.

SPEAKER_07:

But you still stuck with that nigga. So you still fucking with the ancient nigga.

SPEAKER_03:

Good on paper, but wrong emotionally. Wrong emotionally.

SPEAKER_07:

Absolutely. Oh yeah, all my all my female friends that got degrees have horrible day in life. So yes, man.

SPEAKER_02:

All of them. I can't make this shit up. Right? All of them. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_07:

And they when they tell me about the niggas they dare, I'd be like, are you serious? It'd be so hard. They make it seem like it's so hard for them to find like a nigga. It'd be crazy.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, you know, it is more women out here than it is men. Just statistically. Anyways, a strong ego asks if something aligns with their personal values, and it doesn't really go with popularity. Uh so a question for this one is what makes independent thinking uncomfortable? What makes you saying, okay, well, I don't necessarily want a man that looks good on paper if he's not emotionally intelligent? What about that going against the grain makes people uncomfortable? Is it the not being accepted by other people? Or is it about more so the fear of sounding stupid?

SPEAKER_07:

I think people just be trying to build their own person of what they like.

SPEAKER_03:

Like a builder bear?

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, like I I want my perfect person. This is what I want, but it comes with so much shit that I don't want. I think I I don't know. Six seven. Six seven.

SPEAKER_08:

To me, I think it's the fear of uh the paper not translating. You know that's what that is for me.

SPEAKER_03:

For what for what you want not translating to other people? Yeah. Are y'all people that like to explain yourself? Hell no.

SPEAKER_08:

Yes and no. I don't even like my.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't really dabble on the fence with that because I think that you have to get to know someone and initially no one can know you without you telling them about yourself. You have to be able to vocalize what it is that you want and require from the get-go. And I'm not saying the first conversation, no, of course not. But when you start to get to know that person and you see things are like not, you know, like constant communication is a big thing for me. So if I see we're not constantly communicating when we said we like each other, that's a big thing for me. And I'm big, I'm good on saying, like, you know, hey, you know, the consistency is not there, but this is something that I require. So without saying too much in the beginning, you have to kind of set boundaries at the same time. Yup. So for those that don't like explaining, yourselves, y'all not good communicators. It it takes effective communication to really you can say, Oh, I communicate, yeah, I communicate, yeah, because you're telling somebody whatever it is, but there's a such thing as effective communication, and that's where that comes into play. You have to listen to the other person, but also be willing to say what it is that upsets you, that may trigger you, that you may not like. And a lot of people tiptoe around that because they don't want to make the person feel like I'm not a good partner, I'm not a good maid. So, next is superego. Super ego is gonna be society's rule book. Super ego is guilt, it's shame, it's social rules. It tells you how you should live, uh, very different from the ego. So, real world examples is gonna be feeling behind for not hitting milestones on time, feeling guilty for arresting, staying connected to harmful family members out of obligation. These are all examples of the superego. Hive minds strengthen the superego by rewarding conformity. So that for me, uh, super ego real life examples, explain myself to be understood. I don't really like doing that. Being being strong means um handing ever handling everything alone. That's something that I have a problem with. Um, I like to do my stuff on my own, and I don't really ask for help. I have the mindset of if it's gonna get done right, it's gonna get done by myself. Y'all might fuck it up. So let me do it. And it just that's just my super ego in the back of my head. And then um my worth being tied to how useful I am. My therapist is working on this with me. Me attaching my worth for how useful I am, how useful I am to other people, how I can help other people, the the purpose or the reason why I'm in relationships is how much I can do for other people. One thing that I have to work on with my super ego, and then keeping peace over telling the truth. I am the type of person that was told my entire life. I don't know how to talk to people. So sometimes I will be quiet, I'll make a face, and I won't say something when in my head I'm saying something. And you sit back and you watch people. This is happens a lot in families. You sit back and you watch people do certain stuff that you don't agree with or you know is wrong, but instead of telling them, you rather just keep the peace. Woo!

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

So high minds in society, high minds influence beauty standards, success, gender roles, productivity, and morality. We all know that. Examples is the hustle culture where you praise, you know, hustling all the time over rest. Uh, mental health is only valued when it's convenient. Oh, big one for me. The natural hair. Y'all remember the natural hair era? Yeah, when everybody was on natural hair and they was doing the big chops and they had the curls for the girls, and they was doing the scarves and the earrings. Where is it now? Everybody got wigs on nowadays, and it's no shade. No, it's cute. It's no shade whatsoever. But that was a time period where everybody was telling everybody natural hair is the way to go. Still is, and everybody was embracing that. And now we have transitioned to something completely different where you hear women all the time, no shade, complaining about their natural hair, and it's still beautiful. It's still beautiful.

SPEAKER_08:

I am not my angel. Complaining about the natural state. Crazy.

SPEAKER_01:

I am not India I'll read it.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, that's one of my favorite songs. So um, I want to close it out because I think I'm hitting my ending to my time.

SPEAKER_02:

So go ahead.

SPEAKER_03:

Last week we talked about dating high minds, and we talked about attraction and standards and being socially conditioned. Uh, we talked about how desire is borrowed. Standards are often social pressure, and attraction isn't always consensual. Um, you see people and you're attracted to them, but then you don't always know why you're attracted to them. You know, everybody always said the tall, dark, and handsome. So in the back of your head, you got your grandma saying tall, dark, and handsome, so you want a tall man. You're overlooking all the short men. So the it seeks belonging and acceptance. The super ego enforces rules, and the ego gets drowned out. Strengthening the ego means choosing consciously. So it means really not rebelling loudly, but it also means not conforming quietly. So a strong ego for me would be um choosing yourself intentionally. Uh that the voice that you got in the side of your head or on your shoulder, wherever that, that one is your ego. And sometimes that bitch be tripping, but sometimes you just gotta choose yourself a hundred percent and just be aware of when you're in your truth. So I got some closing thoughts, y'all. Yeah, I know I said that was the last thing. Barbara, one of my favorite books. We love listening to you, girl. We love you. This is one of my favorite books. It's called The Universe Fucking Loves Me. And does. It's about Sarah O'Ray. I definitely recommend everybody read this. I always read this before I start a new year.

SPEAKER_08:

What's the author name again?

SPEAKER_03:

Sarah O'Ray.

SPEAKER_08:

Sarah O'Ray. What's her name again?

SPEAKER_03:

Sarah O'Ray. Sarah O'Ray. I'm not gonna forget it because I love books.

SPEAKER_08:

What's her name again? I forgot. Sarah Ouray. Sarah Oray.

SPEAKER_03:

The universe fucking loves me. Just fine. That's all you got. That's all you gotta. That's all you got.

SPEAKER_07:

No. He keeps asking the same no. He's not gonna keep doing that.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay, yay. You heard her.

SPEAKER_08:

Sarah Ouray.

SPEAKER_03:

Sarah? Don't piss my friend off. So to close the year out, y'all. This year is not about rebelling or or conforming to society. It's gonna be about noticing certain habits you have, pausing, and asking if it's truly you. Because growth does not come from doing what everyone else does. True. It comes from deciding what actually aligns with you. So I challenge everybody to have this year be something that they think about intentionally heading into January. Because you know it's it's almost, you know, Aquarius season. I love Aquarius season.

SPEAKER_08:

Shout out to my mom's Aquarius.

SPEAKER_03:

Choosing consciously and stop living on autopilot. That's the most important thing that I want to leave with the Hive Mind segment that I did this month. Is stop living your life on autopilot. I better not see no new year, new me. I bet not see I'm at the beginning of the year. I'm about to get in the gym. Your fat ass been in the gym. I am that person. I'm that person, though. You know why though? But you know why though? If you're gonna do it, if you're gonna wait till the beginning of the year, you're a fat ass. Because why you couldn't go to the next one? But you know why though?

SPEAKER_07:

I'm gonna speak for me. I don't know how other people do it. It's because it's easy to keep up with it when you know. Oh yeah, January 1st. Like, it's hard to remember February 16th.

SPEAKER_03:

That's when I see that just ain't make no sense. Yeah, it's gonna fall off.

SPEAKER_07:

That's cool, but I'm just saying that's why people do it. I mean, that's why I do it. I do it.

SPEAKER_03:

You make you make an expensive.

SPEAKER_07:

I got some shit I'm gonna stop doing January 1st. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_03:

It is definitely a mindset. It's a mindset, and we kind of conditioned ourselves. January 1st could be tomorrow. You know, happy new year. I'm gonna be doing new things. It could be today. Yeah, it's not promise, okay? It's true. Yeah, you you gotta start living intentional now because if you wait until January 1st, who knows what's gonna happen on the second? So that's what I'm gonna do and close out hive minds for y'all. Stop being cheap, please. Live your life for yourself. Do what you want, just long as you're not breaking no laws, because we ain't got no bail money. Uh huh. Robin. Don't go robbing no bank. It's not smart nowadays.

SPEAKER_07:

I know somebody wishful take it. We can set it up. You said you're in therapy.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I'm in therapy.

SPEAKER_07:

But you give therapist.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah. That's what you're doing. But everybody needs therapy, though. You pay the therapist, but I'm in therapy. That's something. I get the best thing. I use this app called Talkspace. Um, I chat with my therapist.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

So we send audio messages to each other and we chat like a regular I am message. She'd be taking forever to respond back.

SPEAKER_08:

She probably got like a whole bunch of different things. Yeah, she probably do.

SPEAKER_03:

She probably do. Because I did I definitely scroll through a bunch to specifically find her. And that's the thing that I like most about a lot of these apps nowadays. They have everything list out about the therapist and what they specialize in, what they like, what they don't like, what they've worked with in the past. So you can really pick and choose uh what you want your therapist or who you want your therapist to be. Because I had this older woman before her, and she won't hit no shit. She wasn't hitting on shit. She's because she kept telling me to put affirmations all over the wall and visualize things. And I was like, girl, no. Like, hello, the real thing. I need somebody that's gonna really ask me questions. She's gonna really ask me questions. And this new young lady, she has me holding myself accountable. She has me acknowledging certain things. So I definitely recommend if you don't do nothing else in 2026, get you a therapy. Send me one. Seek therapy, not pussy. And I'm gonna go back there.

SPEAKER_08:

Even though pussy is therapy sometimes.

SPEAKER_03:

Pussy is that just masks the root of the issue. But I can go on and on and on for this on this subject, honestly. But we are going to get into the word smarter already. Okay, period. Welcome back to the segment where we dress our vocabulary in silk and we give it some spice.

SPEAKER_07:

Hello, Easy.

SPEAKER_03:

We talk wild and we think deep. Get comfy because class is in session, and this is absolutely no advisory.

SPEAKER_07:

You sound like you need to be on the internet.

SPEAKER_03:

No, don't cheat. Don't cheat this time. He's already in my fucking ear and reading. I'm ready. See, you the reason why they had those little things up at the time. Absolutely. No, for real. You know the big things and they separate the cubicle.

SPEAKER_08:

I helped them make it.

SPEAKER_03:

Boom. That's what we need.

SPEAKER_08:

I patent that. That's mine.

SPEAKER_03:

That's yours? All right. So the first word we're going to discuss today is halcyon.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh, house house.

SPEAKER_03:

Loud and roll. Halcyon. And it's spelled. H-A-L-Y. Sorry, I'm so sorry. It's H A L C Y A-N. He's making me nervous. If you don't fucking move away from me, it's H-A-L-C-Y-O-N. And it's pronounced Halcyon. Halcyon. Halcyon. And it's an adjective, okay? This word is an adjective. Adjectives are descriptive, right? They are. And it's um derived from a Greek word Alkeon, meaning kingfisher. So in mythology, there was a how there was halcyon days where a calm, peaceful period would happen when the sea stayed so still that the kingfisher could rest. So the kingfisher is the fishing bird. So it's a bird that will hunt fish. Their prey was fish. But basically, when the seas were calm, is when the halcyon would happen. Does it mean a calm mind or a calm spirit or something? Similar. We're going there. Alright, Uncle. We're going there. Look at this. She's so descriptive.

SPEAKER_07:

But yes, I'm anybody has any guesses? It sounds like something in the past. It sounds like Uncle Tom. Like a house nigga type shit. Like a nigga that it sounds like the nigga that was inside. Helping master when the slaves was outside getting ass with him. He's a houseyon.

SPEAKER_03:

He's a houseyon. It sounds like a nice way of saying house nigga. Oh, damn, that's what you're doing with that. Hey, I like that.

SPEAKER_08:

I like that spin on it. Yeah, yeah. That's what it sounds like.

SPEAKER_03:

That was a nice little spin because he's listening to what it's saying, house on the thing. It was an educated guy. Housey on housey and that basically answer D on the scantrum. So the meaning to this word is denoting a time in the past that was happy and peaceful. You trying to lie and said that. No, you didn't. Yes, I didn't. Denoting a time. I'm looking right at it. No, you didn't. Denoting a time in the past that was happy and peaceful. And denoting is like when you go back to a time, so you're noting that time. So it's just like you kind of recollect or remember that time.

SPEAKER_07:

They could just call the note in.

SPEAKER_03:

Denoting. It's not the same thing. It's totally different. I would say.

SPEAKER_06:

Learn them as I go.

SPEAKER_03:

Those halcyon summer nights felt like life hit the pause button just to let us breathe. I missed the summertime. I missed the summer. Those were my best days and my best days. It's about to be the 10-year anniversary. But it's going to be different because I'm not in Connecticut where the lakes and the rafts are. I am a raft.

SPEAKER_07:

We're going to show you a good time summer in NC. We're going to show you a good time.

SPEAKER_03:

I hope so. Summer NC is late, man. I haven't done anything. I've been here for four months.

SPEAKER_07:

Summer and NC is fucking late.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, okay. Well, we're going to see. Show me something. No, it do be late. Y'all heard Switch. Show me something. It's always something to do in the street.

SPEAKER_07:

Now I ain't going to say it's always been like that, but now it's a good thing. Okay, but I'm not talking about pool parties.

SPEAKER_03:

We're not talking about that.

SPEAKER_07:

We active.

SPEAKER_03:

We get the biggest thing. I like nature. I like to be outside. We're going to do a whole trip to the Whitewater Center and go Whitewater ramp.

SPEAKER_07:

We vlogging all this shit. Why?

SPEAKER_03:

You be the ones jumping out the thing. Yep. Me. Oh, you mean like uh ziplining? Yeah, I did zipline. Me. No, I'm talking about jumping on the cliff. Yeah, the cliff. Nah, that's okay. You doing that? If they give me a life best me, yes, I can't do it. I'll take the pictures. Well, I can swim from the top. Take some good pictures. I got you.

SPEAKER_07:

Matter of fact, I'm gonna be at the bottom where I know it's safer.

SPEAKER_03:

I can't do it.

SPEAKER_07:

I gotta come back now. You feel me?

SPEAKER_03:

It's been four months. It's been four long months. Long, long, long, long. You miss me? Okay, so the next word is gonna be temerity. Temerity is a noun. And it's spelled T-E-M-E R-I-T-Y. Temerity. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, I mean, or or just temerity.

SPEAKER_03:

T-E-M. You're watching how much you spend.

SPEAKER_07:

Like you a cheapskate. You watch how much you spend.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm drawing a blank for what a noun is. A noun is a person place or thing. Yeah, a person, place or split.

SPEAKER_08:

Like maybe it's like reckless confidence. Is that it?

SPEAKER_03:

Huh? I didn't look at it. Alright, so basically, temerity comes from the Latin word temeritas, and that is meaning rashness or recklessness. See? So another word, temer, is blindly or without thought. So you would think that this word is something like she got the nerve type of thing. Like you got the nerve. Who's you? You got the temerity. Did you use it in sentence already? I did not. So I would say she has the temerity to say she's low maintenance with a straight face.

SPEAKER_08:

You got the temerity to say that I cheated and looked like a girl, but she's like audacity.

SPEAKER_03:

Like the audacity. Like you got the fucking nerve. Like she had the temerity. Yeah. So he had the temerity to keep looking at my motherfucking paper.

SPEAKER_04:

I didn't look at the cards.

SPEAKER_03:

And act like he knew what it meant. He's an ultra-crepidarian. That's what he is. Ultra crepidarian ass.

SPEAKER_07:

That was from week three.

SPEAKER_03:

But no, that's my co-host. Y'all know I like him. I love him.

SPEAKER_07:

Ultra crepidarian.

SPEAKER_03:

So the last word that I'm gonna say today and teach you guys about is borgerimus. Bor, sorry. Borba rigamus. Borgerimus. What the fuck? He trying to hear you. He's trying to hear you. Borba. That's his thinking. Borba rigmus. Borba rigmus.

SPEAKER_07:

All the way. Every part of my body.

SPEAKER_03:

Borba rigmus.

SPEAKER_07:

Borba rigmus.

SPEAKER_03:

Borba rigmus.

SPEAKER_07:

Fucking dinosaur. What do you want for B? Like it sounds like a dinosaur. A lazy ass dinosaur. Who did nothing all day but stare at other dinosaurs. He don't eat.

SPEAKER_03:

Borba Rigmus is spelled B-O-R-B-O-R-Y-G-M-U-S. And it's a noun. So it is describing a person, place, or a thing. And this one is gonna be a thing. You right now switch high as fuck right now. What? He said it's derived by the Greek word, meaning rumbling.

SPEAKER_07:

The reco boars. The reekaboars.

SPEAKER_03:

So it's basically, remember last week when we talked about the words that sound like what they describe? So it's an anomopotapoic is the word. I just was gonna say anomatopoeia. I know, it's it's something off of that.

SPEAKER_07:

One big word at a time, Jack.

SPEAKER_03:

Jesus Christ. What the fuck is that?

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

What's the word again? An anomatopoeic. That's crazy. It's a word that means it's meant to imitate the sound that it describes. So this word is the rumbling noise that your stomach makes. Oh. Yeah, that one. I bore that one.

SPEAKER_08:

That shit just did it just that.

SPEAKER_03:

Borborygamus. Yeah, borigam. Borbarygamous. Borba? Borbarigmus. Borborigamus. B-O-R-B-O-R-Y-G. So I would definitely say I wasn't even that hungry. My borbarygamus likes to perform. That bitch is dramatic. Okay. Borygamus. Very dramatic. Yo, all these words just. You say that shit to me.

SPEAKER_07:

If I'm out with a female, she says, I'm gonna look at her. It just shows us like how much you're gonna be.

SPEAKER_03:

My borygmas is definitely acting up right now. What the fuck? Yo ass? Yo butt bubbling? What the hell? But that's your vocabulary upgrade for the week. Now go sound smarter than everybody at brunch. And we do some facts here. We just speak them loud.

SPEAKER_07:

Are these are these words you already know, or do you just look up different words every week?

SPEAKER_03:

Sometimes some of them I know, but some of them I have to practice, obviously. You know, I'm smart, I got a big ass brain, but I'm learning with you guys.

SPEAKER_08:

Every day.

SPEAKER_03:

But next week I'm gonna go over all the words that I've um spoke about here, and we're gonna do like a mini quick. Yeah, spell it tests. Do a spellity test. I'm with it. You can't do that. You haven't even gotten it. You haven't even spelled all of the spells names in the chat. You can't even do that.

SPEAKER_07:

SPEAKER_03:

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_03:

But we do got a couple of questions for you, Sean. I'm gonna start it off.

SPEAKER_08:

A couple. Shit, Sean. You're gonna be all night.

SPEAKER_03:

Listen, I I before we before we get into the travel, I gotta touch a little bit on your music career.

SPEAKER_09:

Yes, please.

SPEAKER_03:

I have a couple of my favorite songs. Uh, Spinning, of course, Better Safe Than Sorry. Um, I just got hit to I think it's off the market.

SPEAKER_09:

Oh, yeah, that's my Afrobeat song.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah. So was there a specific trip or travel experience that made you realize you wanted to help others plan their journeys as you transition from music to traveling?

SPEAKER_10:

I don't think there was a particular trip. I just know that I have always helped individuals do travel. And you remember for my birthday. So Lex actually went on me, uh went with me on my, I think it was 33rd. Yeah, yeah, 33rd birthday cruise. It was on a brand new ship. It was Lex, it was some other uh friends from North Carolina, which was crazy because I had only been here for a short amount of time, and all these people came together to be able to celebrate it with me. But um, I used to just put trips together for people all the time for free. Just would do it, would do it, would do it, would do it. And then my man, my man, my man, it's like, why don't you become a travel agent? And I was like, you know what? I might as well. And so I started just doing it professionally because I was already doing it. And now it's been very, very lucrative, which is the actual plus. But I wouldn't say anything in particular. I just love traveling, period. I never travel growing up. I grew up in a house where we didn't go nowhere. So my mother, she had the first time on a plane, I guilt-tripped her into coming to Phoenix when I got my house built. I said, I got a brand new house built.

SPEAKER_03:

Don't go. From the ground up.

SPEAKER_10:

Like, come see my house. Come see what I did.

SPEAKER_07:

Come on, my friend. And she came.

SPEAKER_10:

And that was her first time on a uh flight. Now I can't get my mother to stop traveling. Because now she got the bug and she's going and going and going. So it's just good to see that and to see the transition. And I love to see everybody else I can assist and make sure that they're, you know, going to places because people don't think they can travel. They think it's just so expensive, it's so expensive, but there's ways to get what you need. And Lex, I don't know if you already got a question or something, but you're gonna bring it up.

SPEAKER_03:

We're talking about no, no, you can go ahead and he booked my uh my birthday trip.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, so Lex got a birthday trip coming up and when it's earlier season and T-minus$37. It's coming up, and she's doing a solo cruise. I'm so proud of her. Yeah, so proud of her. And when I booked it for her, Lex was like, that's it, that's all it costs. I was like, Yeah, that's that's all it costs. Like, you don't have to pay a bunch of money. We can find you like the best deal, and you can still have a good time. So it's just being able to see people go places they never thought they could go. Because I go places that I never imagined, and it's always just new places that I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go to Fuji.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm gonna go to Tokyo 2021.

SPEAKER_10:

We got Tokyo coming up. I'm gonna I'm doing a 14-day cruise from Tokyo to Singapore. And we go to Osaka, we go to Hong Kong, we go to Vietnam. And I've been to Tokyo be uh before, um, years and years and years ago, but this is gonna be a nice time to celebrate with some more friends.

So if it's like you want to go see the Coliseum, you're gonna be front of the line there. You're gonna get priority services, say less things like that. I can I can hook you up.

SPEAKER_03:

Yes, I love that. Thank you, Sean. Absolutely. But before, because he tried to speed past that. I did go on a cruise with him for his birthday, and him and his friends watched me fall through a fence, and they didn't even try to help me.

SPEAKER_08:

Wait, you fell through a fence.

SPEAKER_03:

I fell through a fence, too.

SPEAKER_08:

Well, it's lit.

SPEAKER_03:

Nobody tried to help me.

SPEAKER_10:

No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03:

And I when I told you I said it like five times, I said I'm slow motion. I'm falling. It was slow motion. Nobody reached to grab me or anything, and then I'm on the ground, and the little security people and everybody sitting there laughing.

SPEAKER_10:

Everybody laughing.

unknown:

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_03:

Ain't nobody gonna help me up.

SPEAKER_10:

See how you're sober. We had just no, because we all, yeah, we were we had just got back from Mexico. That fell. And then there was some other crazy shit going on on the ship after. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

A man got left now in Mexico. He got lost. It was a lot. It was a cra it was a wild trip. It was a very wild trip.

SPEAKER_10:

But it was a good time. Was it your first cruise?

SPEAKER_03:

Second.

SPEAKER_10:

That was your second, but your best cruise.

SPEAKER_03:

Yes.

SPEAKER_10:

Had to be the best.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, the first cruise was when I was a child. So I went on a cruise when I was like eight or nine years old because my my aunt and uncle got married and they decided to take the whole family on a cruise, but we didn't get to do shit. We were kids. I didn't get to see nothing. I didn't know cruises had all that shit. Yeah, cruises got it. Like you still don't.

SPEAKER_10:

No. Yeah. Well, the one we went on got a had a roller coaster, you know, things like that. And then what I like to do when I travel with friends, and this is what I'm saying, I did it for free. Now it's like, okay, I can actually put these things together. I do like contests and stuff while we on the ship. So we had a drinking contest, we went to the bars and stuff. There was like who can drink the beers the quickest, and then the winner, they got, I treated them to specialty restaurant, right? So that's what I'm saying. Like we put stuff together to make it fun, make sure they get to enjoy and see all this stuff. But we had we had a blast. We ate good, we drank. We I think I know we had edibles. I know we did. Everybody was lit. Very lit.

SPEAKER_08:

Very nice. I noticed you said, you know, cruises. So do you just particularly do cruises or do you do other I do everything.

SPEAKER_10:

I do everything. I say cruises because I I'm going um next week I'll leave. It'll be my 52nd cruise.

SPEAKER_08:

God damn. What color's your phone?

SPEAKER_03:

I'm still trying to get on my bird. Okay, we gotta get you in your first. I want my kids and me to go on my first.

SPEAKER_08:

We got you. Because I got like a uh mine's is like the sailor. The the platinum, the silver. Oh, the the uh American Express? No, no, I mean like your your cruise car.

SPEAKER_10:

Oh, I'm diamond. Diamond level, like, but I so I do all types of uh cruise. I like Virgin. Virgin's my favorite, so we're leaving on Virgin next week. I like it because it's adult only. No offense to the kids, but it's it's nice to have an adult only. Um but yeah, I've been on so many cruises, and it's nice that cruising is just not the Caribbean. Like you can do other things. That's why I'm super excited for the other places we're going. Uh 2027, we're doing Hawaii, and that's gonna go to Maui, that's gonna go to Honolulu, some fun stuff. That's 2027. So if you do anybody who actually books that, what I'm doing is a giveaway. So anybody that books at Honolulu, Hawaii, uh, Kauai, all that stuff, uh cruise, there will be an individual who's getting half of their cruise fare paid for by me. So it's obviously before the cruise before it leaves. It's before it leaves because I have enough people because I have a group together. It's uh I think nine cabins right now. Um, but anybody who books, half of your fare will be paid for. And I'm gonna do a nice, like I'm gonna go live on Facebook, I'm gonna have my little uh Hawaiian necklace on, I'm gonna have my my tie in my hand, and we're gonna spin the board and whoever wins wins. But I like to do stuff like that because it just makes it nice for me to give back because again, this was something I was doing for free anyway, but to be able to give back to individuals and see that they're excited and want to do these things. But yeah, get with me on 2027, Hawaii.

SPEAKER_08:

You know, I want to know, so you're a travel agent, right? Yes. So, like, how does that work, right? Because particularly when people go, I know for me, because I work for the airline, so by me working for the airline, I'm always looking for the deals. Yes, right? So, you being a travel agent, what is the benefit of having a travel agent as opposed to somebody just going online and booking agent?

SPEAKER_10:

That is a very good question. I appreciate that. So, with the travel agency, I'm able to get deals and perks and things that you may not be able to get. So, for example, Virgin Cruises. With virgin cruises, depending on how long you're traveling and what type of cabin you get, I get you free onboard credit up to four hundred dollars. And that's just because you're booking through me, and that's what my agency has that agreement with that cruise line. When we did Black Friday, I had access to 30% off. Of different resorts, hotels, and things like that. So you have all these things that these uh businesses and agencies and things that are giving us perks to be able to give to our people to get them booked.

SPEAKER_08:

Because perks you can't get online. You can't get online.

SPEAKER_10:

And even if you can get it online, most of the time I'm gonna match what you get and give you more. You're the mug, nigga. Yeah, yeah. I really am.

SPEAKER_07:

Bitches love cruises.

SPEAKER_10:

Love cruises. Love them.

SPEAKER_01:

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_10:

Love. Have you been on a cruise? Never.

SPEAKER_06:

I don't know.

SPEAKER_10:

Okay, so I get that all the time. My mother, she was the same way. I don't want to, I don't want. I told her for years and years. I would text my mother when I'm on a cruise ship, like, you you miss now. I would love for you to see these things. She uh retired last year. So this year, earlier in June, I put together a retirement cruise for her. She agreed to it. I was so shocked. My mother then went to Rome with me on a cruise. We did Rome, we did uh Mykonos, we did uh Turkey, Athens, Naples. We did a cooking class together.

SPEAKER_03:

How much is this on average running? Because, you know, my mother I be wanting her to do stuff and I'll be trying to do that. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06:

How much this shit costs? This shit sounds good as my brother.

SPEAKER_03:

So she's just getting into traveling and like, you know, swimming and doing the things that she likes to do. So how much would this? I'm obviously every trip is different.

SPEAKER_10:

How much does she do? So it depends. It really truly depends. If you if you're just getting started, I highly suggest doing a shorter cruise anyway, just so you can make sure you're comfortable with it.

SPEAKER_08:

I highly suggest like a three to four days.

SPEAKER_10:

Three to four, no more than five. No more than five. And those ones included. Taxes included, depending on what type of ship you're going. If you're going on an older ship, it's gonna be a good one. Say, let's say Carnival, because that's like well, it depends still, because Carnival has some of the bigger and newer ones too. But I can get you, I know there was a woman that was trying to get a trip very last minute. Last minute is very, very good. If you got the funds to at least get there, like even if you're catching the train or something, you can get a nice last minute deal. I had her, and she still was complaining, but it is what it is. I had her on a five-day cruise for$250.

SPEAKER_08:

Stop playing. Wait,$250. That's what I'm that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_10:

That's what I'm saying. Last minute. Last minute. That's not the deposit. That was the full cost. Now you peeked my interest.

SPEAKER_07:

That was the full costume. Those are the last minutes.

SPEAKER_10:

That didn't have a drink package. That didn't have a drink package. Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

So I gotta snuggle my shit. It's all right. You ain't gotta snuggle.

SPEAKER_10:

There are still ways. Like, it depends on what ships you want and stuff too. Like with Virgin, right? You had the sail away party. They got unlimited champagne. If you're going on a cruise for New Year's, they got champagne. They got stuff. So it depends. Like it's really strategic. Like we just got to talk through what you want. Now, for instance, I got a woman who's celebrating her 60th birthday. She wants to go big. So her budget was a lot more. So I put together, she gave me like authority to put everything together. So I was like, okay, I want you to go zip lining here over the ocean. Like zipline. She's going swimming with the dolphins. She trust you. Oh, definitely. And I bring it to you and we we talk about it. Like, what do you want? Like a lot of times I'm gonna ask you a questionnaire on what you desire and what you want to see. But her budget, she told me, you know, 17,000 is my budget. So I got her in the best of the best. She's the best. Oh, of course. Nah, she married. She married. She ain't taking her husband. But she is taking her husband on another cruise, though.

SPEAKER_08:

So, like, what made you get into being a travel agent and like what is the steps for somebody to be a travel agent?

SPEAKER_10:

So, because again, because I loved it so much, and I was doing it anyway. I've been doing it for years and years and years. So, what I did, as soon as I said, okay, I'm gonna start doing it, you have to get some certifications, right? You gotta do your research and get your certifications in order to be certified as a travel agent. Then you got to figure out one, are you gonna just do it on your own or willy-nilly? That's gonna be like$10,000 something dollars just to get started. Or are you gonna go through a host agency? And the host agency is the one that's gonna give you the CRM, so that customer uh customer service management system that you can use. They're gonna have the deals and everything, and you pay them a fee to use their services. What's their fee? So it really depends. It really depends. Usually you'll have a fee at contract, so it could be anywhere from$200 to maybe$400 if you're paying them when you first do a contract with them. It's usually gonna be a year. And then from there you pay them monthly as well. So I pay the uh host agency I use$50 a month, right? Okay, but I have my own LLC. So mine is certified with North Carolina, and then I have my own federal ID number, like everything.

SPEAKER_08:

No, no, that's all you.

SPEAKER_10:

So you do all your stuff on your own, and then you're just using their system. Okay. So for me to use their system, I'm giving that$50 a month. But then also, depending on how much I sell something for, they're getting a cut too. So they're getting a cut of that. So I'm only getting a certain amount of what I sell anyway. But that's why I say, and I want to just go back.

SPEAKER_08:

You're like in a record, um, a record deal, but for travel agents.

SPEAKER_10:

Correct, correct. Yeah, I didn't switch it from the music to this, right? Right. And and the thing is, like, you I think that we all beat ourselves up like when we start something new, right? We always want to be the best of the best of the best of the best. And I know that there's people in the agency I'm working with where they're making over$200,000,$300,000 per month. Per month. Per month. And I'm talking about per month, right? And I'm sitting here and thinking, oh man, in three months, I only sold$100,000 worth of travel. But then I look back and I said, you know what, that's amazing because I saw somebody was talking about, oh, I did a hundred thousand for the year. I'm so successful. And I'm just like, a hundred thousand for the year? I did that in three months. So I'm like, wow, I'm already starting. And then I got an email from one of the uh systems I use, and they told me I was one of the top 90-something percent in North Carolina. I'm like, I've only been doing it for like this amount of time. But you already had that, but I had that because and I had that trust with individuals too. Right. And I really take what I do seriously. Like any day, you seem excited about it.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, I love to see people trying to get a passion for it, right? Like, how do you go about getting your clientele, right? Because you said you were top 90% in North Carolina. Like, how do you go about I'll be like, This is a big business though. Yeah, them motherfuckers. Types of never thing.

SPEAKER_10:

How do you gotta get your client out of cruise? So, me, again, I I have just a huge network of friends, people I've been working with for years. I mean, I've gone on cruises where it's 30 something of us. Like, I just know these people and I say, hey, I stopped relying on people when I started booking my stuff. I usually just say, I'm going by myself. And if anybody wants to go, they go. If they don't, they don't. I mean, I did a 15-day cruise one time by myself.

SPEAKER_03:

15 days.

SPEAKER_10:

15 days. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

So do you have balcony? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's me. I haven't been yet, but I break my virginity. I need a balcony.

SPEAKER_10:

Especially if you're doing something like Hawaii or something.

SPEAKER_03:

You're not gonna be on the balcony, but I just need that peace of mind and know I can get outside of the boat.

SPEAKER_10:

Depends on the person. It really depends on the person because some people only go to their room to sleep. That's it. They just want to go there to sleep.

SPEAKER_08:

I'm one of those people not going to cruise. I'm not even fucking on the balcony.

SPEAKER_10:

But the balcony is a beautiful view. It's a beautiful view. And I always say, like, even if you don't want to do a balcony for like something short or something like that, if you're gonna do Alaska, Alaska is beautiful. I know it's cold as hell, but it's beautiful, absolutely beautiful. To see that view, you need your own balcony. And I suggest an extended balcony on the back. So I'm gonna give you suggestions on places you go. Like Hawaii, I would say get a balcony. You want to see everything. When we did the Mediterranean, I want to see everything. But outside of that, if you're not gonna do a balcony, at least do an ocean view so you can look outside. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Y'all listen to Sean, man. I'm booking right from So how do you balance being a singer and a travel agent?

SPEAKER_10:

So my career, I feel like my singing career is coming to an end. Only because I always was a songwriter before I was a singer. Okay. And I love to write. Love to write. I love imagery. I like to let you imagine what I'm talking about. And so I look at the amount of money I put into music, and I look at what I made back. It's like I lost so much.

SPEAKER_08:

R-O-I is not doing it.

SPEAKER_10:

You're just doing it for it. It was, and it was for passion, but it's like I do the traveling for passion as well. But it also like is like, oh, this is this is very nice. It's very nice. So I always do like write songs, and I always enjoy like the people that listen to my music. Lex, I'm so glad you listened to it and that you like it. That was a good idea. I like it myself. But I just feel as though it's time to transition. Because you see a lot of these um people who are musicians or actors, actresses, they transition to things, and people think like, why would you ever leave that? And sometimes it's like, well, it I'm not gonna water something that just isn't growing the way I want it to grow. So it doesn't take away from the talent. It doesn't take away um from what I know I'm capable of. It's just why not water the flowers that are gonna grow?

SPEAKER_03:

Like dreams over financial freedom.

SPEAKER_10:

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03:

All right, speaking of income, what advice would you give creatives who want multiple streams of income?

SPEAKER_10:

Ooh, you gotta work for it. You you definitely gotta work for it. I know everybody John is a hustler. And and it's no, it's not like I'm I'm working myself till I die, type of thing, either, because I have time to do other things, i.e., travel and things like that. But um, I say that it's not all it appears to be online. These people are putting in a lot of hours, video footage, editing, all these different things. Um, whether it's not even doing something like maybe social media, but people put in a lot of work that you don't see, and even the ones that came up overnight, you don't know what they really did before they did that. So, really having the patience is one. And then also not comparing yourself to anybody else. You should compare yourself to yourself. Wow, three months ago I made this, but look at this. Like here I am three months later, and I made this. Let's go ahead and make sure that I am more successful and then have plans. Don't just go into stuff blindly. Like you, just like we go to our regular jobs and we have goals and we have plans and we have uh mission statements or business cases and things. Do that for your business. Like your creative is your business. So treat it like a business versus just treating it like something that's oh, it's just gonna make me money. Well, anything can make you money. It ain't gotta be something that you you passionate about or not passionate about. So really working hard, putting in that effort, and treating it like a business, I think is super important.

SPEAKER_03:

Great thing. I really hope y'all listening because he really said a mouthful and it was excellent advice. Sean, what what part of traveling or travel planning gives you the same fulfillment as performing?

SPEAKER_10:

Ooh, I gotta say, when people like literally trust me, based off of like I said, I asked them the questionnaire and I'm trying to just get to know what you would like and then bringing it back to you. When I can just say, like some people light up and like, oh my gosh, I I I gotta do that, I gotta do that, or they'll say, not really me. Cool, let's go back. So I can keep taking it back to them and perfecting it to make it better. And that's what I used to do with writing my songs too. Like, that doesn't sound as as good as it should sound. I want to make that a little better. Let me go ahead and perfect it. So being able to be challenged too on things, I don't like just because I say something doesn't make it right, right? And so just because I suggest something, don't take it. Like you're putting your money into this, so let me help you, but don't let me define it for you and it be the opposite of what you're trying to do. Because that's then you're not gonna be happy, and then I'm not gonna be happy because the customers are happy, and I don't want that.

SPEAKER_08:

You know what I want to know? Because you had alluded to before when you said that the girl that was on last minute and she paid$250, whatever the case may be for a last minute deal. Like as a travel agent, because I know you said uh you go through an agency and you gotta give them a cut or you pay the monthly fee. Like, what out of that$230 or$250 that uh was paid, like, what cut do you get out of that? 30 cent. 30 cents. 30 cents. So how are you? Wait, no, no. Okay, you gotta break this down. So 30 cents, like.

SPEAKER_10:

So you is it's different.

SPEAKER_08:

Where's the money? How you doing?

SPEAKER_10:

Last minute, last minute stuff like that, stuff that costs something like that, I'm not making no money from it. I'm just doing it because I'm doing it. Because guess what? You're gonna go on this trip and have a good time and you'll use me again and you'll give me referrals.

SPEAKER_08:

All right, so let me rephrase the question. So generally, if somebody book in advance, yeah, right, and they go through you to get the booking, right? Say you said the young lady has 17,000 to do a booking. Like, what was your breakdown how a travel agent, because somebody can watch, like, yo, how the fuck they make money? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Break that down. That seven, that person had that 17,000 and they booked through you. What is your cut? Break that down.

SPEAKER_10:

So typically on something like that, because it is gonna be like a virgin cruise, my cut is 16%.

SPEAKER_08:

16%.

SPEAKER_10:

But on top of that, like I said, I got to give some to the host, right? So the host is gonna get, if it's my client, they're gonna take 20% of that.

SPEAKER_08:

20 out of that little money.

SPEAKER_10:

But that's gonna leave me with about$1,800.

SPEAKER_08:

Wait, you said they take 20%, but you get 16%.

SPEAKER_10:

So 16, so the first is the 17,000, and then we're doing 16% of the 17,000. Right. Then we're taking that number, and I'm getting 80% of that.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh, okay. No, because when you said it, you said 15%. Then you said the 18%. No, right, 20%. Right, right, right. It's very serious.

SPEAKER_10:

And and with agents, travel agencies, you can make different amounts. Like, you got people who are going on world cruises, right? You got people that are booking$100,000 trips. Yeah. Right? So, me booking a$17,000, I know that sounds like tremendous, but there's people. Yeah, like I said, there's people, they like, oh, we just celebrated the person just booked a$250,000 trip.

SPEAKER_03:

Charlie, do you feel like this is the place where you need to be to have those clients? Not at all. How long have you been here? Not at all. That is fact. You work with people all over.

SPEAKER_10:

Exactly.

SPEAKER_03:

But this is just where you're based.

SPEAKER_10:

This is just where I'm based. So thankfully, like I'm able to work with even people like um, I'm working with a girl in uh Canada, right? And she um, and I like this is perfect, actually, example too, because I don't just work with able-bodied people, she's special needs, right? So for her, there's a lot of other things that need to go into it. I gotta make sure they got scooters in the room. She's deaf. So I gotta make sure they have translators on the uh the cruise for them, right?

SPEAKER_02:

So it's a lot of things that go with experience is the best.

SPEAKER_10:

Exactly. But so I'm not just based in North Carolina, like I love working with my North Carolina people, uh, but yeah, it's it's definitely digital. And that's what I like about this type of work too, that I can work with individuals anywhere. You just give me a call, you shoot me a text, you hit me up, then we're good, and I can start working on it from there.

SPEAKER_08:

So, what's like a general budget for somebody? Like they want to go on a cruise, they're not last minute, and they just want to go, say, like on a normal five to seven-day cruise. Like, what is the a nigga. A nigga who ain't trying to spend no money.

SPEAKER_06:

A nigga. A nigga who ain't trying to spend no money.

SPEAKER_10:

So if you want if you ain't trying to spend no money. You deal with a lot of niggas who ain't trying to spend no money. I do. I know you. I do. I absolutely do. And and it's all it's all good because I know, hey, I'm gonna still make sure that you're good. Because let me tell you something. I got ones that come to me and they bring the whole family. And I'm dealing with a lot. Like I'm dealing with everybody, but that's why I I'm gonna give you a better experience than if you just go through a cruise line or you go through the resort. Because I'm gonna do Zoom calls for you, I'm gonna get you prepared, I'm gonna make sure you got everything. I'm gonna put together a list of things. I'm gonna make sure that we check in together, I'm gonna make sure that we got everything, all your documents and stuff like that. If you're traveling with kids and your the father or the mother is not going to be uh going on that trip, or you don't even like, you know, have they don't have custody or anything, you need to make sure you got a certified letter from that other parent saying, like, but people don't think about these things. So I'm going over stuff like that. But if if you ain't trying to spend like that much money, you want to do a five-day to seven-day on an older ship. I can still get you on there if you at least you and somebody else, right? I would say budget about six hundred, seven hundred dollars per person. That's and that's before we talk about drink packages and things like that, because those vary. But that's still not good.

SPEAKER_08:

You get a drink package. Do get the drink package.

SPEAKER_10:

Do get the drink package package. You got to.

SPEAKER_03:

Don't be that one that gets caught.

SPEAKER_08:

So hell no, buy that bag. Uh huh. Yeah, you get off the cruise. Yeah, for different destinations to get off the cruise.

SPEAKER_03:

You can't bring bottles back on, they conflict those.

SPEAKER_08:

It depends. You could bring them, but they just hold them. So they'll hold them for you.

SPEAKER_07:

So y'all get off different spots. So you're familiar with the area. So for the smokers that that can't smoke on the boat, Jamaica.

SPEAKER_10:

There's plenty of them. Well, you can go to you can go to Bahamas, you can go anywhere. Mexico. You got it everywhere you can. You're gonna find people that's gonna allow you to one purchase what you need to purchase from them, yeah, and you can just go off wherever you.

SPEAKER_08:

I mean, we just went to Wait, allegedly, allegedly.

SPEAKER_10:

Allegedly. Allegedly, 100%. But they the cruise ship can't do nothing about you going out and somebody coming up to you and like, hey, you want something? Like they can't do nothing, because they're not connected to that. But you bring it back and they find it, that's when you have the issue. I know. You say what? Yeah, balcony. You go ahead, that's a$500 fine. And they can, if you do it multiple times. It is one time, but they also can kick you off. They can kick you off wherever you are. So it's not worth it. They can leave you there. You make the rules.

SPEAKER_03:

All you gotta do is make a batch of a batch of edibles, then pack them up the cigarettes, on it.

SPEAKER_10:

You can bring food, like you can bring chips, you can bring other things like that. Yeah, well, yeah, we edibles. But you asked about how long you're in the ports, right? So it depends on what port you go to. Some of these ports you spend in all day. You might be there from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Or you'll have ones where you're there maybe from like 10 a.m. to six. There's also ports that you're gonna stay overnight. And those are ones a lot of people like because you can get off the ship as you please all day long, all night long, and get you can stay at a resort.

SPEAKER_03:

I was gonna say, so you have to buy um another place to sleep? No, you don't have to. You get back on. You get back on.

SPEAKER_10:

Now, if you want to go to another place to sleep, that's fine because then, hey, you might go to a resort.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, and how long are those? Have you ever experienced one that was like two or three days staying in one place?

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah. So a lot of a lot of the uh Bermuda ones, if you're leaving out of Maryland, Maryland is so far from the Caribbean, so it takes a lot longer time to get there. But they do a like a three-night Bermuda. Right? So you have that. I got one I'm putting together.

SPEAKER_06:

That's the whole trip in itself.

SPEAKER_10:

That is the whole trip. Yeah, that that's all you're going to is Bermuda. But that's why I said that that water is beautiful there too. Um, I know that I have some in the Mediterranean that stay overnight in Mykonos. Like that's beautiful. I guess it's a nice place to stay. Uh so really, you know, Mika.

SPEAKER_09:

Mika, Omecca, Bermuda.

SPEAKER_08:

Get out.

SPEAKER_09:

You would Mykonos is a beautiful, beautiful place. Mika.

SPEAKER_03:

Where there's okay, so I have a quick question. Is that in the Caribbean?

SPEAKER_10:

No, no, no, that's in the Mediterranean.

SPEAKER_03:

That's what I thought. It's Greece.

SPEAKER_07:

So yeah, I'm I'm definitely finna log in with you because my people are from Guyana, and and um, I'm I'm trying to go to Guyana next year. Okay. I'm the only one of my siblings that ain't been out there. From Guyana, never been. Never been. How the fuck is that because? I gotta go see about it.

SPEAKER_03:

We got Lena whole village waiting on me. So I know what I think. I know you said you've been to fifty on fifty-two cruises. Yes, and it's fifty two. So I know you've been to a lot of different places. If you could narrow down one or two places that was the best place you've ever been, and just the trip was so amazing. Can you let us know something about that trip?

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, there oh gosh, I've been to the thing is When you go on just trips, period, it's all about the people a lot of time. It's all about who you went with and the experience you had. Because I can go somewhere that is like there's nothing to do. But if I got the right people with me, we're gonna have a good time. Like I think about even just going to Italy, going to that cooking class. My mom was there, we were cooking together, my cousin was there, my uh homegirl. That I I've met so many people through travel that I've traveled with again. So you know, my crazy ass friend Cassandra, love her to death. Um, I'll give just a quick backstory on her. Uh, there are when you go on a cruise, right in particular, right? There's a Facebook group that somebody's gonna make for that particular sailing. So it'll say carnival, celebration, December, whatever, through whatever sailing. And people go and they meet people in that ahead of time. Cassandra, it was her first cruise, never been on one before. She was going by herself, and she was just asking all these questions. And so I sent her a message or a messenger, and I was like, hey, hang with me. I'm gonna teach you the ropes, I'm gonna show you. Cassandra now has gone on, I think, six cruises, all with me since then. And then she's doing Tokyo. And then I told her, hey, we're doing Hawaii. She's like, sign me up. I said, hey, for my 40th, we're going um out of Amsterdam and we going to Germany and we doing this. She was like, I'm going.

SPEAKER_03:

You ain't going nowhere. You know what I'm saying? And then from here on out, okay? The Sky Squad is outside.

SPEAKER_10:

Look, let's get y'all all on a on a ship.

SPEAKER_03:

I want to see the land like that.

SPEAKER_10:

We can go there. But those experiences, like I said, it it depends on where I'm at. But I I resonate with the the cooking. I I know I wasn't a part of the Mexico fiasco that was happening when we did our cruise together. But I was on the other side. But they had the they had a black, all they were doing was playing at a pool.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Yeah, but the bartender, like, it was like the area we were at, the beach we were at, it was all inclusive. So all we had to do was go up to the the bar and ask for a drink, and like, oh, he was getting us fucked up. And like the drink wasn't even making it back to the other end of the pool. That's how bad it was.

SPEAKER_10:

And let me tell you, uh, our good friend, he lost his phone in Mexico, and he still he wasn't tripping because we had such a good time, and it was just like, you know what? As soon as we stepped back in Galveston, he had another phone. But outside of that, it didn't matter. So those experiences that we had, I can name so many things. And I can tell you some crazy stories. I mean, there was this one girl one time that asked me, Did I want some coke? And I was just like, No, ma'am. You should have said yeah. And I said, first and foremost, how did you get that on the ship? And I said, I definitely don't want it. No, ma'am. No, ma'am. After she told me that she had put it up inside herself, I said, No, I said, no, ma'am. Not that I want coke anyway, okay? But I really don't want, I don't know you. I don't know you. You know what I want to know?

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, yeah. So, like, you mentioned cruises a lot, right? I know other, you know, but being a travel agency, you deal with other things outside of cruises. Like, because we just talked about cruises. Talk about like the things outside of cruises. Like, somebody's gonna book you and say, hey, I want to get an all-inclusive trip in um San Juan. Yeah. You know, like what's that process in San Juan?

SPEAKER_03:

Because I want to know about Jamaica. I love Jamaica.

SPEAKER_10:

I want to ever know where they're going to Jamaica both. San Juan, I actually just had a friend um that would stand over there. So I'll I'll always go through, again, I'll do that questionnaire on what they desire, especially if they want an all-inclusive. What type of food are you looking for, right? Because you got some all-inclusives, they got the steakhouses or you got the seafood spot, or you got this. Some people are fine with just a buffet or something because a lot of those nice, nice, nice places, they're gonna do made-to-order food at the buffet anyway, right? So it's not gonna just be sitting there, sitting out. Um, but yeah, I'll go through, see what they want. Do they want a uh room that has a swim out pool? Do they want to be this amount of uh away from the beach? Is there any type of excursion that you want to do while you're on that trip? So I'll go through all those things and then I'll get to start doing the research on places that I know or places I know people have gone and give them suggestions. I got a lady, she'd been trying to go to Aruba for years and years and Aruba. Aruba is beautiful. And she is surprising her husband. Like she just literally paid for them to stay at a resort and next year, and he don't know it's happening. She paid for it, she paid it all. And so she trusted me to plan that for her. Right. And I'd been to some places she had already been, and I'm just like, hey, I know we've been to this resort before, but I'm telling you that this one is a little better. And she was just like, you know, hey, if you're telling me that's what it is, that's what it is. So really just working with them and figuring out what they want and going ahead and making that making that happen. But also, like I said, it doesn't have to be um overseas or anything. You can do something. If you say, I want to go to Chicago for the weekend, I can make sure that we see, okay, what's the prices, like what you're looking for? What's your budget? You got any preferred hotels that you usually do? Do you need a rental car? All those things I'm gonna just put together and put together that package deal. Usually, when you do a package deal, it's gonna be a lot cheaper anyway. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

So I want to know what's your sign.

SPEAKER_10:

My um zodiac sign. He's an Aries.

SPEAKER_03:

He's an Aries. Okay, I don't know too many Aries.

SPEAKER_10:

She don't she always tell me she don't like them. Yeah, yeah, but she likes me.

SPEAKER_03:

SPEAKER_03:

And I would ask, especially if she's doing like video footage and all that stuff. Like we're trying to. Yeah, trying to find places that one would be the best spots to go to do your get your footage, things like that. And then also like putting together stuff so we can make it look appealing and whatnot.

SPEAKER_09:

SPEAKER_03:

You're not a content creator. Another question, Sean. If you could design a travel experience inspired by one of your singles, what would it look like in what single?

SPEAKER_10:

It's definitely gotta be just fine.

SPEAKER_03:

Just fine.

SPEAKER_10:

So just fine says, took a trip overseas, had to clear my head again. It's been a real long week. I'd rather lay in bed again. Okay. If anybody asks what's wrong, tell them I'm good. Just leave me alone. I like my own company. Sometimes I want to take myself out. Real good food, night out on the town. I might drive around for hours, take it all in. I'm serious. Ain't nobody there to say yes or no. I go with the wind. I blow, I blow with the wind, I go with the flow. It feels real good being my own friend.

And we just having a good time. The song it says I'm H A P P Y with me, myself, and I. And I don't need nobody to have a good time.

SPEAKER_10:

SPEAKER_08:

Don't bring shrooms, please. Listen, make sure we make a stop at Jamaica. Okay. Because I know when I went on a cruise and I went to Jamaica and I went through the I did one of the um the excursion shits. So they took us to like the back road. So right. So it's like little markets and shit like that. So I went in the market and this nigga came out, never forget. Like, you looking at me, I'm not looking at him.

SPEAKER_01:

Like, yeah, yeah. I'm like, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10:

Come to the box, yeah. Or they bring you in the back every time. And they working out the jewelry store, they working out the souvenir shop, and you take them to the back. Go to the box.

SPEAKER_08:

This yo weed gloom. Like, why broad? Why I want to find this still, try this to look my young life. I was like, oh, I gotta take it back.

SPEAKER_10:

They wanna give you a shot too before you leave. Like, they're gonna do everything to make sure you buy it.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, boy. For sure. Pop up. I do. I really do. I gotta get outside though.

SPEAKER_10:

But I'll say, yeah, excursions-wise, I think one of the best excursions I've been on, and it was just the baboon forest.

SPEAKER_08:

The baboons and shit. What the fuck? Little boobies with the red asses?

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, it's the baboon forest. Oh no, no. So it so it was safe. Completely safe. Completely safe. It was a spot where the people there, they lived there so long that the baboons trust them.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10:

And so the baboons are just out in the wild. It ain't like they hid no cages, nothing like that. And one of the baboons, the mom, she had the time. I mean, the baby was smaller than his microphone. She had the baby on her. And she still was coming down to us because she trusted those people that we were with. Give y'all food. And we were giving her the food and stuff. But like she wasn't doing that. Like if you they don't trust you. They're not coming down. Not with her baby. Not with her baby. And that was just so so much fun swimming with the dolphins. I swam with some little teenage dolphins. They were so fun.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm scary, but I'm fun.

SPEAKER_07:

I was an adventurous ass nigga.

SPEAKER_03:

But listen, where I grew up, like, because I'm from up north too. We had, you know, Six Flags, used to have the safari. There's only one in Jersey right now that was that. But you go to your and the baboons were something that stuck out to me. All right.

SPEAKER_08:

Never got to go to Six Flags. Oh, yeah. Charlie, you give me a monkey? I want a monkey for a pet. One of the little monkeys.

SPEAKER_10:

When I tell you, I love monkeys. I love monkeys. I want a monkey. I want one too. I really do. I do. In real life. I got pictures of all these monkeys. Yo, the monkeys is. Sometimes they are, but the little, the little sweet ones, nah. They're so fun. Like they're like little dogs. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they got a lot of emotion and stuff too.

SPEAKER_08:

So I gotta talk to that little nigga like yo.

SPEAKER_10:

You're gonna talk right back.

SPEAKER_08:

Like, yo, what up, my nigga? Good.

SPEAKER_10:

My monkey gonna be hot as well. Did you ask did I answer your question? Oh, the song. So it'll be just fine. Yep. And I would be overseas somewhere. Um if I could be anywhere right now. Well, we're doing St. Kitts and St. Martin. I'll be there like in a week. So that's my first time in St. Kitts and my first time in St. Martin. We were supposed to go to Antiqua too, but they got cancelled. But I'm doing um The Flying Dutchman. So basically like ziplining, but you're sitting down like you in a chair in a seat and you're gonna fly down. And then I'm also doing um some snorkeling.

SPEAKER_07:

The snorkeling, that's when you go underwater.

SPEAKER_10:

Snorkeling, you're under, but you you have that tube in your mouth, so you're still at the top of the water. It's not like going down and diving. Snorkeling, you're gonna be more at the top.

SPEAKER_03:

So do you repeat your clothes when you go on trips or do you always buy a new watch?

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, most of the time, like when I'm just chill, I'm just gonna repeat. I don't even care.

SPEAKER_03:

I've been getting packages, but you don't wear half of it. You don't, but I'm just saying, I'm just curious. Because you look nice, you look very well-groomed.

SPEAKER_10:

I appreciate it.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, when you're going on all of these how your closet looks.

SPEAKER_10:

It depends because you got certain uh cruises, or we're talking about cruises in particular, right? You got Virgin, they do pajama night, so you gotta have your pajamas on. Right? They do scarlet night, so you gotta have a red outfit on. So I've done all like dress up or dress down, this and that. Um, but on trips, I like to be comfortable. I could care less about trying to like impress people. Like, I'm trying to have a good time and I'm trying to be comfortable.

SPEAKER_03:

It's horrible.

SPEAKER_10:

Oh, yeah. You like my friend Cassandra. She'd be having 30 outfits. She had, we went when we went to Cali, she had three things of luggage. And we only was on a seven-day trip. Three things of luggage.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

When we went to Mexico and we went to dinner, she had a whole gown on, and I felt underdressed. I was like, what I got on. I don't know about the gown part, but I do it over Pat for sure. Listen, if you're gonna do it, she wants her pictures.

SPEAKER_10:

You gotta take her pictures.

SPEAKER_03:

I still take pictures when I go on. Well, I only been on two cruises. Come on a cruise with me. I'll take all your photos. She can have something to do with it.

SPEAKER_10:

You gotta start taking pictures.

SPEAKER_08:

We you're gonna book us a trip for next year. Absolutely. But one of the cruises. Okay. And one of the styles gotta be Jamaica.

SPEAKER_09:

I can make that happen easily. Easily.

SPEAKER_08:

All right. I don't give a fuck about a balcony though.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

I know they do. I need to do that.

SPEAKER_10:

And if we if we do Jamaica, I got I got so I have friends all over. All over. Um, you weren't on the one we just went with my friend. I got a friend, Anna, in Mexico. Absolutely love her. I discovered her through an excursion. When I went on this uh winery, I I like to do all different types of stuff, right? I don't want to just do the basic stuff. But we went on this wine tour, and she was the one who was hosting it. It was her first time. I never knew. She was just so sweet, she was so good. I connected with her. And then uh every time I went back, I would ask her, What you doing? What you doing? You know, so I would go on her excursions and things. So I took her. Some friends just got to meet her this time around. She took us out. I told her I wanted some churros. She took us to a churro spot.

SPEAKER_08:

She treated us before.

SPEAKER_10:

She treated us to a whole thing of churros, dips, and everything, and really took care of us. And I love to have that connection with those individuals. So I got a friend in Jamaica who last time I was there, you know, drove us around, took us to KFC because you gotta go to KFC. I don't know. In Jamaica, like, yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_05:

It's so different. Oh, the line is out the door. No, you must have been.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, I gotta keep in mind. You want to be bad, honey. They know how to cook.

SPEAKER_10:

You went to the wrong one. You went to the wrong one. Were the people nice with the one you went to? Were they nice? Okay, because they're not supposed to be nice. They rude. What you want? What you want? That's it. That's how they don't talk to you.

SPEAKER_08:

Why you want? No, it's not why you want to. Why you want? Why you want?

SPEAKER_10:

Why I want to.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, why you want.

SPEAKER_10:

We're gonna take you back. We're gonna take you to the right one.

SPEAKER_03:

I got one last question for you. What advice would you give first-time travelers that would mirror advice that you would give an uh first-time artist or an aspiring artist?

SPEAKER_10:

I would say make sure you one working with somebody that knows what they're talking about, like that has the referrals, like, and that's with music or anything, because you don't want to just get into something with somebody who's gonna sell you all this stuff, and then they can't do nothing for you. Yeah, they I've seen it happen to so many people. And I don't care if it's people who are successful, there's some grimy people out there. So finding the right people to get started with is is super important.

SPEAKER_08:

You know why? Because he didn't say uh once. You notice that, right? You gotta think about some shit. Yeah, you know, he like doop do do.

SPEAKER_10:

So you're like, you know, uh I I I was I'm not trying to toot my whole horn too much, but I I got multiple degrees, multiple certifications. I I have the credentials, right? Right? I have my master's in business administration, I've done project and program management for years. So I'm very organized, I'm very on time too. Lex will tell you. People, my friends used to get mad. They say the party started at 8 o'clock. I'm there at 8 o'clock. And I'm at the door. Punctual, very punctual, very punctual. Like very, very punctual. So I like that, though. Don't just give people BS. Like, right. So I give somebody that same advice. Make sure you're working with somebody that knows their stuff and that's actually in it to help you, not to help themselves.

SPEAKER_07:

I got hella bitches on Venice in your way. All my friends travel and go on boats. I'm the only one. Yeah, fly nigga. I'm gonna take that plane. Yeah, we can take that bus. I do flights, I do that, everything. But I ain't gonna get on that boat. I wanna go out and see how it's gonna be a good one. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10:

He sold me. He sold me. Oh, absolutely. And there's some nice ones overseas too.

SPEAKER_07:

Long go, I'm definitely gonna send some business your way for sure.

SPEAKER_08:

Sounds good for sure. My last question for you, man, is like, what is a piece of advice that you could give to somebody that's gonna watch this after and that wants to get into the travel agency, you know, let them know like what is the process, you know, what is the ups, what is the downs that you're going to um and occur, incur or whatever, that you're gonna, you know, when you in when you when you're doing that.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, so let me give you I can give you a great example because there's a lot of training that you have to do. Like, you gotta know your stuff. With all the cruise lines, you gotta know. Like they they have uh webinars, they do live sessions weekly where we're working with these individuals to help us be successful in knowing their product. But you gotta show up, you gotta go and you have to attend to do that type of stuff, right? If you want to sell Disney or Disney cruises and things like that, you gotta take the certifications and you have to get the sometimes they call them bachelor degrees or master's degrees in this particular expertise or cruise line. So once you've done that though, you also gotta do the research on your own. So I like to take business trips. And my mother said, This is not a that's not a business trip. Mother, if I'm going on a ship and I'm taking notes on what's happening and I'm I'm trying the drinks because I want to be able to recommend them. That's a business trip. Yeah, absolutely. It's a business trip, right? So you want somebody that's going to do their research too. You don't want somebody who's just going and, like I said, they're just trying to make a quick butt uh a quick dollar. Because I can sell you anything, and then you're going to be pissed. Like, yo, what did you just give me, right? So you want to one take the time to learn and educate yourself constantly. And I think that's with anything, not just with travel or whatever that you're doing and you're passionate about. You got to take that time to do that. But also do your research, that personal first hand research, or be really, really, really good at doing uh research online because you can do a lot of great research online too. There's a lot of resources out there.

SPEAKER_02:

But you have to have experience.

SPEAKER_10:

You got to. You got to. And I I know how to travel on my own. I know how to travel in groups. It's a big difference, too. Especially when you're traveling with people. That's another thing of advice. When you travel with new people, do not try to pile everybody up in one room.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, hell no. I have my own room. You need always.

SPEAKER_10:

You gotta have, you gotta have some type of separation because there's gonna be, especially people you don't know, you might bump heads and things like that. And I know that there's people who try to save money. We're talking about saving money, but they like, I want to uh put four or five people in one cabin.

SPEAKER_03:

At the end of the day, that's too much. You need that to decompress. Yes. I just know myself after this long as I maybe one person.

SPEAKER_10:

Only one shower.

SPEAKER_03:

This, you know, after the whole end of the night, we all have fun together. You're gonna want to decompress it.

SPEAKER_10:

Exactly. So I suggest doing it even by yourself or one other person in there with you. But outside of that, don't just try to save as much money as you can and have a shitty experience. To me, that's with going on trips, going to hotels and things like that. People all trying to get into you're not gonna have a good time. And then you're gonna be mad and you're gonna have a situation.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, the more ain't always merrier.

SPEAKER_10:

It's not.

SPEAKER_03:

You're gonna be able to do it. It's not the right people.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, that's right. That's right. And that's if you come home with them. You know, you've seen the stories about people getting left. They get left or they didn't left. They they died, they kill them, like stuff like that. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_03:

Y'all remember.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, that stuff happens. That's the woman. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah, it be happening.

SPEAKER_03:

So Yeah, what was it? Sheniko, no, Shankula. I felt so bad for that girl. Oh, yeah, because they were so sad.

SPEAKER_10:

They went off the cruise and they was mentioning. No, no, no, it wasn't no cruise. They was at the at the resort.

SPEAKER_03:

They was at the resort.

SPEAKER_10:

SPEAKER_03:

There was a lady that went on a cruise with her friends and she jumped overboard. Yeah, I saw that too. They said that she wasn't there at the party and then they found footage of her dancing and twerking and shit.

unknown:

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_10:

That's what I say. Make sure you know. And if you don't know everybody, fine. Like, because you didn't even know everybody on the trip that I took you on, but you know that I'm gonna bring people around that's gonna be good people. For for one, I'm not gonna just bring any riffraff around. Like, we don't do that. But number two, still making sure everybody had their own individual places to go back at the end of the night. So um, but back to the advice, like I said, doing your research and just being on top of your stuff. And if you don't know something, say I don't know. Don't make stuff up. Because then when you start making stuff up and somebody has expectations and they are not met, then we really gonna have a problem. So if you don't know, say, you know what, I maybe I don't know that right now, but I can I can go ahead and do some research for you. I trust that more than you lying to me.

SPEAKER_08:

So how can like somebody like contact you? How can they book you?

SPEAKER_10:

They don't know, you know, absolutely all of that. So my uh travel agency is called Travier Travels, travel with care. Because I put care into what I'm doing for the individuals and making sure that they have a good uh successful trip. So T-R-I-A-V-I-A-R-E travel. Uh so you can look me up on Facebook.
