This evening I have the never-time story. And I have. Devon Thomas. Jamal. Okay. And they are here with me tonight this evening. It's about 8 o'clock. And we want to release this one and talk about time. Right now time has not been on my side. I can say because my kids be up all night. Do y'all kids be up all night? Because my kids be up all night. Why y'all be up all night kids? No, this look like a hill. Why y'all be up all night? Miradol says because she not sleeping. And when I say I'm not sleepy, that means I play on the phone. Oh, she said she play on the phone because she not sleepy. But sometimes she should be sleepy though. Yes, sometimes she be sleepy and she be sneaking on that phone. Because I don't know if she had that phone. She had to wait so I go to sleep. But when I doze off, she, she, she, I roam around and do all this crazy things. But guys, but okay, she'll cut the TV on. And what you do. You right now, you're a little bit punished. And I got you cool to get TV, Devon. No, Devon. And that's why he keep asking me to get in my TV. But he got all the other gadgets and devices in there, phones, computers, things like that. So let's, let's right now walk through our time right now with each other by reading this book called time, right? Read your other's book called time. When I'll pull it kids. Okay, let's run through it. It says, what do we mean by time? Time is measured by the hours, days, months, and years we live through. What time do you go to school? Have lunch or go to bed. We measure time so we can keep track of events. We need to know what time a bus will come. Y'all know we know about them buses. Y'all know mommy be knowing what time the bus is come. But we just had to catch that bus and run to them bus stops. Right? To go to school. To go to school. To go to work. What time a train will come and leave the station. Y'all remember getting on a train? Yeah. The train used to be fine, right? Yeah, we used to go places when the train. We need to measure moments of time to know how long things take. How long things take to bore you? How do you make sure the toast is not burnt? Because you got to know how much time to put on the toaster. I normally put like a little bit of time when the toaster because I like my bread a little bit soft crunchy. I don't like it burnt. Y'all like it. Y'all don't even like toast but it's okay. Oh you like grilled cheese? Oh yeah I like grilled cheese too. I love grilled cheese. Well I used to love it. It depends on what kind of cheese we got, right? I love it. I just keep eating it because I love it. You love grilled cheeses? I like grilled cheese. You like grilled cheese? Yeah. That's why I said I want to make one again. You want to make one? We don't need a toast to make grilled cheese. I make your grilled cheese with this frying pan skillet. Oh okay. Yeah so we measure each day in hours from midnight. There are 12 hours from midnight to midday. Remember how I talked to you all about the clock? And how I had 12 hours. So my little hand is on the 12 and the big hand is on the 12 is 12 o'clock. Okay. Now whether it's PM or AM depends on the time of the day. If it's light outside it's going to be PM. PM. PM. AM. And if it's dark outside it's going to be PM. AM and PM. We'll work on it another time. But anybody y'all yes. Tom has really affected us during this COVID time. Okay. Tom says times is times is hard right now y'all saying what mid time is hard. Time is hard right? Right. And 12 hours from midday to midnight there are 24 hours and one whole day. So every day for the past umpteen days 24 hours in a day y'all been driving me crazy. But I love y'all. Okay. Okay. So now we are going to figure out what we're going to start doing without time. We have to measure our time. Okay. We measure short periods of time in seconds. A special kind of watch is used to time of race. The big hand measures the seconds and the small hand measures the minutes. Okay. That is why the small hand goes slower than the long hand. Okay. Because the long hand right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the small hand is the um the hours. Yeah. It helps you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So there always has been time. This castle was built many hundreds of years ago and it is now a ruin. A ruin? This skyscraper was built recently long ago. Even the castle was new in modern. That's a big that's a big skyscraper. This is a big skyscraper building right? Right. Wow. That's the end. Yeah. To catch a plane you need to be at the airport on time. Otherwise the plane will take off without you. Are you everybody to fly on the plane? I've never flew on a plane. I've never flew on a plane and guess what? I ain't ashamed to say it. But I do want to take my babies on a plane. But I don't know about planes. You don't know about planes? I know about planes. planes are just so fun. Do you know about planes? I only think you know about planes. Guaranteus. What we watch on TV and what we see these people doing out here on these TVs. We do not know about planes baby girl. Right? We do not. I just like planes because oh who's that? Oh here it is.

Yeah, but we really didn't celebrate for July this year as much because of the awakening of the people of our people. All right? Oh good. Of our nationality. Oh, I'm leaving back. Okay. All right. I'm leaving. I'm losing a guess. Yo, I'm losing a guess. So we're going to just go here and switch the topics and flow right to topic one, two, what? I have been up to and I have been up to just stand low key in mind at my business. I ran across a lot of charmers out here in the city. I was watching clothes recently and I ran into this charmer. She was very charming. Yo, I didn't have any bleach. I forgot my bleach and I had said I would allow like, "Dick, I gotta get the bleach. I forgot the bleach." And I was sorting my clothes to put into the washing machine. She comes over to me with a half a gallon of bleach. And it was a good con, name your. I'm not going lie. It was hot. It was hot. I mean, it's hot. It's just summertime. Y'all know I took that bleach. But before I took it, I almost didn't take it. It was like, wait a minute. I can buy my own bleach. You guys know what I'm saying? And then it was like, "Oh no, honey. Thank you. Yes. I felt the love from sister. From sister essence. Sister essence rain. Okay. I felt the love from her." And that's the thing. You know right. Check it out, son. So I'm putting the clothes in the washing machine. You know, I hate that y'all like to go over and laundry city to the little plate area, whatever. So she had a tablet and she wanted to go over to the house. So I walked over there. I said, "Okay, cool. I see people saying they're on my app is remind her, look. Don't talk. Don't speak. Just chill." And then next thing you know, yeah, but she can't play with the computers right now because of the coronavirus, right? So next thing you know, I'm putting the last little clothes in the laundry and the washing machine. And then it comes over to me so so so elegantly. Yeah, my hey, do we have any more black messes? Because I got somebody who wants to buy one like this. And I was like, "Okay, but so I'm on a phone because I'm cam." So I'm like, "Okay. So I finished doing what I'm doing and I saw how to go to the car and get the mess because the mess were in the bag. She goes and get the mess and the ladies walk in the way." So I said, "Hey, how you doing? You know, when I wanted to purchase a mess from my daughter?" And she was like, "Oh, no, honey. I didn't want to purchase a mess from your daughter." She said, "I was at the vendor machine and your daughter was like, "Oh, hey, that one is not working. The other one over there might be working." And I was like, "Yeah, it's funny because she knew we went, you know, last time we were there and we went to the vendor machine that that one wasn't working. But the lady said that she, um, that she wanted the mask. The lady said, she didn't ever said the lady wanted the mask back to the mess. So the lady was just like, I'm never said I wanted to buy a mask. She said, your daughter is a good salesman. I'm going to buy one of their masses because she just was like, you like these masks? You see these men's we sell blank men's. We, um, we do makeup, but you want the, would you like to buy a mask? So she never told me what she was saying to the never to make her keep on talking. So I was like, oh my goodness, I was, I was so tickled. I was only tickled because I can genuinely tell that the lady was engaged by the never, you know, the never was that much of a trauma. She was very charming towards the lady. And she got the lady to one of our men's. Oh, but she was maybe the one. So I'm made the lady buy a mask. She did double her weight of charming the lady. So she chomped the lady. She made that lady feel real good. Shout out to my daughter for being a be more trauma. Yeah. Yeah. She got that lady to buy. And I was like, no, no, it's okay. And I was like, you know what? You can go in and have them. It's like, it's fine. You know, she was like, oh, no, I want to pay her. I want to pay her for yeah. So she was like, give me your cash in because she said they cost $10 and she been on and I'm paid the never for the mask. And I was so excited. Like, oh, the never was so shy. She did not know it was that much of a joy to me. Like, baby, girl, I named you, you never join your, you are joy. Now, later on, I told her, look, don't be talking to strangers. My name is not actually the talk to no strangers. You know, it was fun. And there was a lot of people in there. But she, but she did something though. Yeah, but she got that money. So I can't be mad at it. I just had to know don't be talking to strangers. Maybe girl, don't do that. Cause you know, we'll talk to strangers. But what is funny is that the lady had on a surgical mask. So the never has learned from me to charm people to woo them. You know, she wouldn't have had to be like, the girl had a nice pretty shirt on. She had a nice pretty shirt on. So the never probably was like, Oh, well, you got a nice pretty shirt on. Do you need a band to go with your shirt? Cause you got a surgical mask on. And my, my mask pretty here. She had, she had like a vinyl gold glitter shirt on. And it says something like queen of the birthday person, a birthday queen. That's why she, um, so that's why the never really. Yeah, she really got it like that that she won a man's. Yeah.
