00:00:00.000 What'd you do today?
00:00:01.120 I'm a chiropractor.
00:00:02.160 I was in my office all day long.
00:00:04.140 Are you tired?
00:00:05.220 Yeah, very tired.
00:00:06.380 Long day.
00:00:07.100 Some people say that chiropractors aren't real doctors
00:00:09.240 and that it's a pseudoscience.
00:00:11.400 I don't think that's accurate information.
00:00:13.500 I've been a chiropractor nearly 40 years.
00:00:15.900 I take care of people every day without any medications,
00:00:19.780 severe low back pain.
00:00:20.780 Everybody goes through back pain.
00:00:22.380 We can't medicate it.
00:00:23.560 It gets worse.
00:00:25.060 Chiropractor really helped me.
00:00:26.140 I don't know what he did, but it helped.
00:00:27.300 Yeah, I know.
00:00:27.720 No, it helps.
00:00:28.320 I help people every day.
00:00:29.220 No medication.
00:00:30.980 And I've heard all the questions and the doubts
00:00:32.920 and the skepticism.
00:00:36.180 Like I said, that information isn't accurate.
00:00:38.940 And not all conditions are medical.
00:00:42.160 Let's put it that way.
00:00:43.120 Some conditions are non-medical.
00:00:44.980 And again, it's your spinal column.
00:00:46.560 All your neurology runs through your spine.
00:00:48.840 All your ascending sensory pathways
00:00:50.600 and all your descending motor pathways.
00:00:52.700 If your spine is off, your nervous system is going to be off.
00:00:55.420 So you're saying if you have bad thoughts,
00:00:56.860 your back is going to feel it?
00:00:59.220 There's mental stress, physical stress, and chemical stress.
00:01:03.240 Bad thoughts is mental stress.
00:01:05.540 It can create a problem.
00:01:07.880 Cardiac, gastric.
00:01:09.940 It's all connected.
00:01:10.900 It really is.
00:01:11.640 Do you love what you do?
00:01:12.380 I do.
00:01:12.960 My name's Peyton.
00:01:13.640 I love your scarf.
00:01:15.100 Thanks.
00:01:15.540 It's my grandma's.
00:01:16.620 What do you love doing the most?
00:01:19.480 Acting and being with my friends.
00:01:21.740 Which one's better?
00:01:23.360 Fuck.
00:01:25.040 Fuck.
00:01:26.300 Being with my friends.
00:01:27.760 Okay.
00:01:30.000 Where are they right now?
00:01:31.460 They're in Atlanta and here.
00:01:32.960 My community are actors.
00:01:34.900 So I get to be with my friends while I act sometimes.
00:01:37.520 Where do you act?
00:01:39.420 Right now at...
00:01:41.300 You'd be going viral.
00:01:42.620 Right now at a school.
00:01:44.480 Okay.
00:01:44.960 And one day, I will not be at a school.
00:01:47.720 And I will act, hopefully on Broadway.
00:01:51.260 What's your favorite character to play?
00:01:53.040 Or what's your favorite move?
00:01:54.080 What's your favorite thing to act?
00:01:55.500 A scorned mother.
00:01:57.200 I see something.
00:01:57.800 A scorned mother.
00:01:59.340 Yes.
00:02:00.160 Yes.
00:02:00.620 Yes.
00:02:00.800 Scorn me.
00:02:01.200 I'm the son.
00:02:02.020 Okay.
00:02:02.680 Okay.
00:02:04.020 Um, Sneaker.
00:02:06.100 I'm so disappointed in you.
00:02:08.640 You have really changed over the years.
00:02:11.580 What has happened to you?
00:02:13.720 You need to go out there and make things right.
00:02:16.420 You need to change all these stances that you have made in the past.
00:02:18.960 Do you understand me?
00:02:20.120 I'm sorry.
00:02:20.660 Do you understand me?
00:02:22.220 No more Andrew Tate shit, Sneaker.
00:02:24.200 Do you understand me?
00:02:25.740 I was so proud of you.
00:02:27.180 You made fantastic art.
00:02:30.040 What are you doing?
00:02:31.500 I'm sorry.
00:02:32.280 Come back to us.
00:02:33.580 We miss you.
00:02:34.580 I moved back.
00:02:35.240 I'm here.
00:02:36.220 I'm actually really proud that you're doing this.
00:02:38.060 You back on the artist shit?
00:02:39.280 Yeah.
00:02:39.680 Watch me on X.
00:02:40.740 I've been posting every day.
00:02:41.560 Watch my last eight videos on X.
00:02:42.800 You're going to like them.
00:02:43.180 Okay.
00:02:43.620 All right.
00:02:44.180 All right.
00:02:44.800 Glad that we changed.
00:02:46.220 This is hard.
00:02:47.280 It was bad.
00:02:48.080 People are human.
00:02:49.180 Yeah.
00:02:49.480 So benefit of the doubt.
00:02:50.940 But scary times, Sneaker.
00:02:53.520 You think so?
00:02:54.060 As a fan?
00:02:55.060 Dude, that was fucking harsh.
00:02:56.300 I'm a black woman.
00:02:57.540 I know.
00:02:58.140 You are a black woman.
00:02:59.280 Yeah.
00:02:59.720 So imagine my perspective.
00:03:02.500 I don't know.
00:03:03.160 What's your perspective?
00:03:03.980 I mean, you know, as a black woman who likes artists and to see you as an artist, you
00:03:08.920 were making really beautiful shit initially.
00:03:11.240 Like I used to watch you a lot.
00:03:12.560 And then as the Red Pill thing happened, it was kind of disappointing.
00:03:18.220 I felt like it was a fuck you to the fans who looked like me, you know?
00:03:21.780 I love everyone.
00:03:23.360 It didn't seem like it.
00:03:25.340 I understand your perspective.
00:03:26.720 Thank you.
00:03:27.740 And good luck with your friends and your acting.
00:03:29.780 What's your name?
00:03:30.780 Peyton.
00:03:31.240 Peyton.
00:03:31.520 Nice to meet you.
00:03:32.020 It was nice meeting you too.
00:03:33.600 All right.
00:03:34.240 You're a good actor.
00:03:34.860 The Scorn Mother is good.
00:03:35.760 Wow.
00:03:36.220 That's a good one.
00:03:36.720 I felt the disappointment.
00:03:38.440 Yeah.
00:03:38.840 Yeah.
00:03:39.100 But I'm really proud of what you're doing now.
00:03:40.440 I was almost too real.
00:03:42.940 I'm going to a perfume conference.
00:03:44.640 I don't smell like anything because I'm heading to a perfume conference.
00:03:49.900 Oh, so you came in bare.
00:03:50.980 Yeah, of course.
00:03:51.680 Okay.
00:03:52.380 There's a perfume conference, so I don't get it.
00:03:55.460 What's not to get?
00:03:56.820 So it's a bunch of people with a lot of perfumes?
00:03:58.620 It's a bunch of perfume brands and a lot of people that love perfumes that go.
00:04:02.100 Is perfume what you love the most?
00:04:06.360 No.
00:04:07.260 What do you love the most?
00:04:09.440 My best friend and food.
00:04:13.360 Culinary and?
00:04:15.800 Joy, friendship and food.
00:04:18.620 You don't seem like you love food that much.
00:04:20.340 You're pretty thin.
00:04:23.520 I love food a lot.
00:04:25.240 And I love exercising a lot.
00:04:26.980 But it's not my favorite thing.
00:04:29.600 How did you hear about the perfume conference?
00:04:32.200 I'm a perfumer.
00:04:33.240 I make perfume.
00:04:34.500 Can you rate my smell one through ten?
00:04:36.540 Can't smell you, so you're failing at it.
00:04:38.760 Have a good one.
00:04:40.740 You here first?
00:04:41.740 Yeah.
00:04:42.060 You here first?
00:04:42.640 Yeah.
00:04:42.820 You here first?
00:04:43.400 Yeah.
00:04:44.080 Yeah.
00:04:44.780 Yeah.
00:04:45.100 Yeah.
00:04:45.220 Yeah.
00:04:45.340 Yeah.
00:04:45.880 Real man, it's L.
00:04:47.200 L.
00:04:47.560 Trombone lab is what I've been one of you known as, though.
00:04:49.780 Trombone lab?
00:04:50.320 I thought that was a trumpet.
00:04:51.400 It's a trombone.
00:04:52.280 What's the difference?
00:04:53.360 Trombone got the small vowels.
00:04:54.920 Trombone got the sly.
00:04:56.260 What did Bill Clinton play the trombone or the trumpet?
00:04:59.060 Bill Clinton played the sax.
00:05:00.900 It was a completely different thing.
00:05:01.960 Sax.
00:05:02.380 That's the one that come down like that.
00:05:04.280 Okay.
00:05:05.000 And they don't play with a mouthpiece.
00:05:07.060 They play with a reed.
00:05:08.300 So that's a whole different setup.
00:05:09.660 Why'd you choose this out of all the brass instruments?
00:05:13.140 Well, this cuts through the soul.
00:05:14.900 This touched people miles away.
00:05:17.000 Blocks away.
00:05:17.820 I over-exaggerated.
00:05:18.760 But yeah, this is a more spiritual sound.
00:05:22.140 It cuts through.
00:05:23.040 If you feel bad, this make you feel good.
00:05:25.480 It did.
00:05:25.900 It was disrupting the podcast, but I was enjoying it, though.
00:05:28.600 I was enjoying it.
00:05:29.060 Let me tell you what happened.
00:05:29.580 I got off the train.
00:05:30.640 I thought this was 34th.
00:05:32.440 I normally get off on 34th and rock out, but I got off at the wrong stop.
00:05:36.860 So I was like, let me just play until the next train comes.
00:05:39.480 But I didn't know I was interrupting.
00:05:40.620 My bad.
00:05:41.060 No, no, no.
00:05:41.400 Don't worry.
00:05:41.740 It was that good that I wasn't that angry about it.
00:05:44.020 That's what's up, man.
00:05:44.860 What do you love doing the most?
00:05:46.200 I love, love, man.
00:05:47.120 I really wear that.
00:05:47.920 I wear it on my shirt.
00:05:48.880 B7 Soul is the name of my joint.
00:05:51.180 I'm a dad.
00:05:51.680 Hold this for one second.
00:05:52.580 I'm a dad.
00:05:53.400 I got seven children.
00:05:55.160 Five of them live with me.
00:05:56.800 That's a lot of kids.
00:05:57.820 Yeah.
00:05:58.820 B7 Soul.
00:06:00.520 My last name start with a B, and I got seven souls.
00:06:03.900 So everything I do is feeling full.
00:06:05.700 Everything I do.
00:06:06.380 I don't ask for nothing.
00:06:07.580 I appreciate everything, though.
00:06:09.340 You know what I'm saying?
00:06:09.780 So when I come out here and I get to playing, sometimes I hear people say, yo, I felt so bad.
00:06:15.200 And just hearing that just uplifted my spirits, that's what I love to do.
00:06:18.420 I feel like that's what my job is.
00:06:21.080 That's what keeps me going as well.
00:06:22.540 Knowing that, because I be down.
00:06:24.520 And when I pick up my horn, I feel better.
00:06:26.460 But knowing that I could touch somebody else with a gift that I didn't practice.
00:06:30.500 You know what I mean?
00:06:30.820 I did practice, but I don't read.
00:06:33.100 This comes from, this was a gift.
00:06:34.940 It comes from the soul.
00:06:35.620 It comes from the soul.
00:06:36.640 And so B7 Soul means a whole lot.
00:06:38.440 And that's what I love.
00:06:39.600 That's one of my mottos, man.
00:06:40.840 Every day above is a great day.
00:06:42.700 It's up to us to be great with the day.
00:06:44.440 And love is always love.
00:06:45.740 You put love first.
00:06:46.700 You put God first.
00:06:47.480 Because everything falls in place.
00:06:50.020 Thanks a lot.
00:06:50.960 I appreciate that.
00:06:51.960 Yo, I wish y'all the best, too.
00:06:53.100 Make sure y'all attack.
00:06:54.060 How do we meet each other so I can know about this?
00:06:56.200 Salute to everybody.
00:06:57.200 Keep doing what y'all doing.
00:06:58.580 Might not be nothing right now, but it's great what you're doing.
00:07:01.740 Find me on X.
00:07:02.580 You know Twitter?
00:07:03.200 Yeah.
00:07:03.400 Yeah, I'm not on there yet.
00:07:04.340 I need to jump on that.
00:07:05.200 Get on that.
00:07:05.720 Best platform.
00:07:06.480 B7 Soul.
00:07:07.420 Make sure you find me at Trombone underscore lab.
00:07:10.660 T-R-O-M-B-O-N-E underscore L-A-V.
00:07:15.900 Much love.
00:07:16.380 Thank you.
00:07:16.660 Be safe.
00:07:17.160 My name is Charlotte.
00:07:18.100 Where are you headed to?
00:07:19.240 I'm going to work.
00:07:20.880 You're from the UK?
00:07:22.180 Yes.
00:07:23.240 Okay.
00:07:23.480 Why'd you come to New York?
00:07:24.840 So I work on Broadway.
00:07:26.700 So I worked from the West End for a bit.
00:07:28.880 And now I work on Broadway.
00:07:30.040 So I moved here to work on Broadway.
00:07:32.380 Do you sing?
00:07:33.300 No, I'm a stage manager.
00:07:34.880 You look like an actress.
00:07:36.120 No, no, I'm not.
00:07:37.140 I just stay kind of.
00:07:38.860 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:39.640 Okay.
00:07:40.160 Do you love doing what you do?
00:07:41.400 I do.
00:07:41.820 I, um, I've wanted to do it since I was like 14.
00:07:45.400 So I literally spent 10 years working towards it and then did it.
00:07:50.720 So your dreams came true?
00:07:52.100 Literally, yeah.
00:07:53.000 Is there anything else you'd rather be doing right now?
00:07:54.820 No.
00:07:56.900 Do you feel like the main character?
00:07:59.260 No.
00:08:00.300 Because I work with performers.
00:08:03.340 So they're the main character.
00:08:04.620 And I just support that.
00:08:06.780 But that makes me happy.
00:08:09.120 So.
00:08:10.160 What would you be doing if you weren't a stage manager on Broadway?
00:08:12.780 Um, I really love to travel.
00:08:14.640 My backup, which isn't a very good backup, but I really wanted to be a pilot.
00:08:19.560 Like, my main thing was stage management.
00:08:22.020 Like, I want to be a stage manager and I'm glad that came true.
00:08:24.300 But I also love to travel and I'm obsessed with planes.
00:08:26.980 So if I wanted to do anything else, be a pilot.
00:08:30.680 But I don't think I'm smart enough for that.
00:08:32.720 You don't think so?
00:08:33.360 No, I don't think so.
00:08:34.000 I mean, I'm happy.
00:08:34.960 Like, what I do is what I'm happy to do.
00:08:37.500 Do you know what I mean?
00:08:38.440 I went in a helicopter for the first time two days ago in New York and it was a female pilot.
00:08:41.800 Yeah.
00:08:42.100 Are you from New York?
00:08:42.920 Yeah.
00:08:43.660 Oh my God.
00:08:44.300 I was a little bit nervous because I haven't, you know.
00:08:46.460 Done it before.
00:08:47.120 People have this idea of female pilots, but she was really good.
00:08:49.200 Yeah.
00:08:49.460 I did that in Australia about six years ago and it was really fun.
00:08:54.380 Yeah.
00:08:54.480 So why New York out of all places?
00:08:56.020 Is it because Broadway's here?
00:08:57.200 Sorry?
00:08:57.700 Why New York out of all places?
00:08:59.380 Oh, because like, well, New York is like the place people come to for like the best of my job.
00:09:04.740 So this is the best place to be for my job.
00:09:07.880 And I think a lot of performers and people like me come to New York to make it on Broadway because this is like the best place for it.
00:09:15.080 How would you compare it to London?
00:09:17.940 It's like London, but like more intense, I guess.
00:09:23.800 I think London is more chill and the people are more chill.
00:09:27.380 Here people are crazy.
00:09:30.100 I mean, London has a reputation for the machetes.
00:09:32.580 Uh, yeah.
00:09:33.720 Yeah.
00:09:33.980 I mean, like not so much now, um, but I like both, but I'm going to try and get my citizenship for America in a couple of years.
00:09:42.820 I've only got my green card right now, so hopefully I can get both.
00:09:46.600 And then if something comes up in the West End, I can like go between the two.
00:09:50.240 How are you going to get that?
00:09:50.880 Are you going to get married?
00:09:51.960 No, so I am married.
00:09:52.940 My husband's American.
00:09:54.100 Oh, so yeah.
00:09:54.860 It usually happened right away, right?
00:09:56.440 Yeah.
00:09:56.820 Well, no.
00:09:57.140 So, I mean, like you have to, so in the, in the U.S., you have to be married for, I think two years?
00:10:02.780 Two years.
00:10:03.400 I mean, no, no, no.
00:10:04.600 Sorry.
00:10:04.920 A tale of a lie.
00:10:05.520 It's different for everyone.
00:10:06.680 I think you have to live in the States for three years and then you can apply for citizenship as a green card holder through marriage.
00:10:12.920 So it's like different for everybody.
00:10:14.420 That makes sense.
00:10:14.900 It's more complicated now.
00:10:15.760 It's going to get more complicated with Trump now too, probably.
00:10:18.020 Uh, yeah.
00:10:18.940 Yeah.
00:10:19.260 But I can, I can vote in the last election because I'm like a green, I'm a green card holder, not a citizen.
00:10:23.960 So I couldn't vote.
00:10:25.100 But in the next election, I'll be out to vote.
00:10:28.000 Are you a good person?
00:10:29.520 Um, I think so.
00:10:32.980 I think so.
00:10:34.160 Do you think you're a good person?
00:10:35.520 I do.
00:10:36.160 Yeah?
00:10:36.500 Yeah.
00:10:37.000 What makes you think that you're a good person?
00:10:40.080 Well, it makes me think I'm a good person.
00:10:42.240 Um, I think, uh, I'm kind with people.
00:10:46.160 I'm patient with people.
00:10:47.380 I think I, I, there's a lot of kindness that comes with my job.
00:10:51.580 Um, I think I'm, I think I'm like, yeah.
00:10:58.180 I mean, being a stage manager.
00:10:59.520 I respect people.
00:11:00.580 I respect everyone's religion and culture and experiences.
00:11:04.640 I don't think I have any discriminations.
00:11:06.540 I think I'm like, I see all people as equal.
00:11:10.540 I don't know.
00:11:10.800 I think that makes me a good person.
00:11:12.120 Does your job require a lot of patience?
00:11:14.020 Yeah.
00:11:14.280 Oh, this is my trade.
00:11:17.000 Nice to meet you.
00:11:17.820 Nice to meet you.
00:11:18.380 Stay warm.
00:11:19.080 Stay warm.
00:11:19.520 What's your name again?
00:11:20.140 Charlotte.
00:11:20.620 Charlotte.
00:11:21.040 You say, good luck with everything.
00:11:22.280 Thank you very much.
00:11:24.400 So what's for a client?
00:11:25.780 Like, uh.
00:11:26.200 You're a photographer?
00:11:27.320 No, I'm an artist.
00:11:28.340 What do you make art of?
00:11:29.960 I'm a visual artist.
00:11:31.380 So I do, uh, black figurative portraits.
00:11:35.080 Oh, I could use one of those.
00:11:36.300 Mixed media.
00:11:37.640 Um, I paint people that I know.
00:11:40.620 Um, I'm also a certified life coach.
00:11:42.780 So the conversations that I have are, or the, or the conversations that I have, that's
00:11:47.960 what's emulated on, on the canvas.
00:11:50.680 Okay.
00:11:51.120 So is it like therapy?
00:11:52.240 Life coaching?
00:11:52.940 Um, yeah.
00:11:53.680 Well, it's not necessarily therapy, but it's more like goal setting.
00:11:57.300 Okay.
00:11:58.000 What's the number one thing that people need coaching on when it comes to life?
00:12:02.220 Oh man.
00:12:03.020 Um, I think sometimes like self-sabotage, um, limiting beliefs, like people, like we have
00:12:09.860 so many different, um, we have so many different, um, voices in our head.
00:12:15.620 Like some people have projections.
00:12:17.340 Some people have like people telling them that they can't do it.
00:12:20.120 Some people have people that tell them they can't do it.
00:12:22.260 And it's like people choosing which voice to listen to, which one to trust, which one
00:12:26.920 sounds, you know, the best for them.
00:12:29.440 Doesn't that mean you're schizophrenic if you have a lot of voices in your head?
00:12:31.920 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12:32.700 I don't think, I don't think it's schizophrenic.
00:12:33.960 I think it's just, we're just like, if someone's telling you for your entire life, if someone's
00:12:38.900 been saying, you can't do it, you can't, you're not, you can't do it.
00:12:41.100 You're not smart enough.
00:12:42.200 You start believing you can't do it.
00:12:43.960 You're not smart enough.
00:12:45.120 But then you have someone that says, oh, you can do it.
00:12:47.380 I totally believe in you.
00:12:48.720 You're smart enough.
00:12:49.600 But it's like, you don't trust that because you're used to trusting the other voice.
00:12:54.160 How do you focus on the positive voice?
00:12:56.960 Um, I think it's like, you have to cut out the noise.
00:12:59.260 Then you have to cut out the noise.
00:13:00.640 Um, and I think it's all about like distrust.
00:13:03.960 It's being open and just, just, just, you know, trusting that voice, you know?
00:13:08.560 How do you do that personally?
00:13:09.820 How do you, cause I, I mean, I have those voices too.
00:13:12.440 Uh, I think for me, you know what, again, like a self-sabotage and a limiting beliefs.
00:13:19.580 It's like, I don't, I try my best not to let, um, ideas of people like, uh, limit my beliefs,
00:13:26.160 you know, or tell me what I can and what I can't do.
00:13:28.340 Like for me, for instance, growing up, I used to have a whole bunch of people tell me like
00:13:31.580 what I couldn't do.
00:13:32.640 You know, um, my parents were always saying like, we believe in you, you can be whatever
00:13:36.460 you want to be, but my peers had never seen artists, you know, do the type of things that
00:13:42.760 I've done, you know, um, no one like believed it was possible because they've never seen
00:13:46.860 it in my neighborhood.
00:13:47.800 So when I moved to New York, those things just became possible.
00:13:50.660 And those are the voices that I trust now.
00:13:53.680 What was the lowest moment in your life?
00:13:55.260 Uh, maybe today, maybe today.
00:13:58.160 Was the interview that bad?
00:13:59.420 No, the interview is good.
00:14:00.340 It's just, you know, um, you know, financially, I haven't been in this, this situation since
00:14:06.320 my twenties, you know, um, I don't know if it was the election, but, um, no one's buying,
00:14:10.940 um, paintings right now.
00:14:13.440 I'm also a logo designer and no one's buying logos right now.
00:14:16.800 So I don't know if everyone's like kind of saving their money or not know what's going
00:14:19.980 on, but, uh, yeah, so it's just like, I'm just being, um, grateful, being in gratitude,
00:14:25.080 being trusting, uh, and being open that, you know, something's going to happen, you
00:14:30.680 know, you don't seem like you're at a low moment.
00:14:32.780 You still seem confident on the inside.
00:14:35.800 Yeah.
00:14:36.240 Maybe I'm trying to wear it on the outside, you know, that's how I'm probably trying to
00:14:39.020 smile about it, you know, but on the inside of man, this is tough.
00:14:42.380 You know, this is like, this is New York city.
00:14:44.520 And, you know, it's like every day it's like, uh, you know, you hear the phrase of, you know,
00:14:48.060 if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.
00:14:49.380 And it's like, I've been in this situation before, um, I'm not going to be like that
00:14:54.420 forever, you know, but like, I know without a shadow of a doubt, things can turn around
00:14:58.000 within like a second.
00:14:59.200 If you did it once, you could do it again.
00:15:00.660 Yeah, exactly.
00:15:01.700 Exactly.
00:15:02.460 And like, like I was always taught, like a setback is a chance for a comeback.
00:15:08.020 Hey, best of luck to you.
00:15:09.160 Thank you.
00:15:09.640 What's your name?
00:15:10.620 Sneeko.
00:15:11.240 Sneeko?
00:15:11.760 Yeah.
00:15:12.100 Nice to meet Marcus.
00:15:13.680 You got Instagram or anything?
00:15:14.900 Nah, I've been on Instagram.
00:15:16.140 Oh, okay.
00:15:16.600 Got it.
00:15:16.760 Follow me on X.
00:15:18.600 Okay, on X.
00:15:19.200 Yeah.
00:15:19.780 Sneeko.
00:15:20.600 Got it.
00:15:21.360 Thank you, man.
00:15:21.840 Appreciate that.
00:15:22.520 Appreciate you.
00:15:24.200 Jazz.
00:15:24.980 Would you like to sit down?
00:15:26.260 All right.
00:15:26.880 What's your name?
00:15:27.580 I'm Sneeko.
00:15:28.160 You're going to a local jazz show.
00:15:29.700 Yeah.
00:15:30.500 What do you love to do the most?
00:15:32.700 Listen to music.
00:15:34.640 Miles Davis?
00:15:36.180 Definitely.
00:15:37.720 Yeah.
00:15:38.100 My uncle is a trumpet player.
00:15:39.640 You don't want to make music?
00:15:40.980 No, my family makes music, not me.
00:15:42.940 So you just want to listen?
00:15:44.220 Yep.
00:15:45.940 Is there anything else that you'd rather be doing in life?
00:15:48.420 Yeah.
00:15:49.200 Um, yes.
00:15:51.220 Liberating myself from white supremacy and capitalism.
00:15:54.260 How do you liberate yourself from white supremacy?
00:15:57.080 You have to destroy it and no longer depend on it or feed into it.
00:16:02.900 So how do we destroy white supremacy?
00:16:04.780 I think we have to divest from initiatives and companies and politicians who uphold it and
00:16:13.060 create worlds where people of color, black folks, queer folks, disabled folks are prioritized.
00:16:18.920 So create black, queer, disabled supremacy?
00:16:22.660 No, no supremacy.
00:16:23.980 Just earth supremacy.
00:16:25.640 Just an ecosystem that prioritizes the health of all beings, not just white folks, not just whiteness.
00:16:32.160 Where are white people prioritized?
00:16:34.920 Everywhere.
00:16:36.000 They are the supremacy.
00:16:37.860 Can you give us some examples?
00:16:39.680 Um, redlining.
00:16:41.480 Okay.
00:16:43.560 What about, um, gentrification?
00:16:46.440 Yeah.
00:16:46.880 Got it.
00:16:47.280 That's another one.
00:16:47.820 Well, what about in schools that minorities, like we get, uh, we're prioritized when we
00:16:52.480 apply to schools.
00:16:53.380 Are we prioritized?
00:16:54.500 Cause I'm pretty sure white folks actually benefit from affirmative action, which is so
00:16:58.680 interesting, right?
00:16:59.300 Like it's not for them, but somehow they get benefits from it.
00:17:03.580 Yeah.
00:17:03.860 We also don't learn our history in school.
00:17:06.260 We were taught that Columbus was, you know, it's to be celebrated.
00:17:09.500 It's all pretty unfortunate.
00:17:12.200 Okay.
00:17:13.020 Um, so that's the, that's the number one thing holding you down.
00:17:19.060 The number one thing holding me down.
00:17:21.520 Is white supremacy.
00:17:22.920 Maybe I would say capitalism and white supremacy are working hand in hand quite aggressively
00:17:27.960 to hold me and all folks of color back.
00:17:30.480 Yeah.
00:17:31.380 I'd say that.
00:17:32.220 Or maybe like my lack of interest in playing the game is holding me back.
00:17:37.880 Your lack of interest in playing the game.
00:17:39.300 Yeah.
00:17:39.780 My lack of interest in, in like enjoying capitalism and like leaning all the way into capitalism.
00:17:45.180 Like we have to be a part of it because it is the dominant structure and I'm sure I'd
00:17:50.060 be like more successful if I enjoyed it.
00:17:52.240 But yeah, I thought interested.
00:17:54.280 So are you a communist?
00:17:56.020 No, no, I wouldn't, I wouldn't identify myself with any political parties on your podcast.
00:18:02.220 Okay.
00:18:03.060 So why not just play the game if that's the game in front of us and if your life's going
00:18:06.280 to be better and you're going to be more successful, why not just accept it?
00:18:09.560 Yeah.
00:18:09.800 I think we have to unpack what successful means to us.
00:18:12.940 And I think it'd be, I think there'd be benefits in some areas, but not other areas.
00:18:16.280 Capitalism requires us to be wasteful, requires us to, um, abuse the planet, requires us to
00:18:22.880 oppress other people in order for us to be rich.
00:18:24.700 So I wouldn't, that wouldn't make my life better.
00:18:26.580 That would suck.
00:18:27.660 Okay.
00:18:28.400 Yeah.
00:18:28.700 Why are you wearing a mask?
00:18:30.620 I don't want to get COVID for a third time and I don't want to give COVID to anyone.
00:18:34.220 And I also don't want to get any kind of sickness if I can avoid it.
00:18:38.340 Did you get vaccinated?
00:18:39.580 No.
00:18:40.500 How did you get vaccinated?
00:18:42.380 I was overwhelmed when it first popped off and I felt insecure and concerned about the
00:18:48.680 medical industry and it's historic, um, like timeline of using black and brown bodies to
00:18:57.480 create medicine.
00:18:58.000 So it was just all kind of happened too quickly and I didn't feel comfortable at the top of
00:19:01.940 the pandemic to do it.
00:19:02.980 And I haven't done it since.
00:19:04.780 There's a lot of people that criticize white supremacy that are very pro vaccine.
00:19:08.100 I'm surprised you're anti-vax.
00:19:09.340 I know.
00:19:09.680 Yeah.
00:19:09.900 I don't, anti-vax is a strong word.
00:19:11.460 I respect, vaccines have, are the reason why a lot of us are alive and I respect folks who
00:19:16.580 get vaccines.
00:19:17.140 I think that's one of many ways to protect yourself.
00:19:19.960 And I'm not like, yeah, get it how you live it, get it how you live it.
00:19:23.520 And let's prioritize the safety of all of us, especially vulnerable folks.
00:19:28.380 Okay.
00:19:28.620 Thank you.
00:19:29.140 Thanks for coming on.
00:19:29.640 I appreciate it.
00:19:29.940 Good one.
00:19:30.300 Good person.
00:19:33.980 Why not?
00:19:35.220 Because like, like they say, not everyone is perfect in this world.
00:19:39.180 I've made mistakes.
00:19:40.720 I've, I've made some decisions that probably I shouldn't have made at a young age.
00:19:47.700 But you've repented.
00:19:49.300 Yeah.
00:19:49.580 I've repented.
00:19:50.820 So do you think you're a bad person?
00:19:53.400 Uh, I'd say I'm, I'm not a bad, but not a good person either.
00:20:01.820 But you're working every day to be better.
00:20:03.480 Well, yeah, I'm working every day to be better.
00:20:05.240 I'm trying to better myself every day.
00:20:07.880 What's the best deed you've done recently?
00:20:09.820 What's the best deed you've done recently?
00:20:12.700 Uh, well, I haven't.
00:20:15.520 I've moved in.
00:20:16.940 I live alone with my, one of my cousins.
00:20:19.580 And I know it's, it's hard when you go through family issues and you have family problems.
00:20:25.140 And he's my cousin.
00:20:27.040 Uh, I call him my brother.
00:20:28.180 I grew up with him and I take care of him.
00:20:30.180 He's going to school right now.
00:20:31.300 I work and well, I try to, I try to make the day for both of us be good, the week, make
00:20:39.240 it to the week and make plans for the future.
00:20:42.600 Is your cousin, uh, what, it's like, does he have issues or something?
00:20:49.080 No, right now he doesn't have any issues right now.
00:20:51.280 He's good.
00:20:51.860 We're good.
00:20:52.760 He says he's happy.
00:20:53.980 He's been better.
00:20:56.200 What do you love doing the most?
00:20:58.440 What do I love doing the most?
00:21:01.060 Uh, that's a good question.
00:21:03.840 I'd say, uh, what I love doing the most is spending time with family, being around the
00:21:09.900 family.
00:21:10.340 It's that season for that.
00:21:13.560 Yeah.
00:21:13.980 It's that season for that.
00:21:15.040 Exactly.
00:21:15.560 It's the Christmas season.
00:21:16.620 That's is this, this is the season for that.
00:21:19.380 And I wish it would be like that every day.
00:21:22.540 Not only for every, for some events.
00:21:27.580 Christmas should be every day.
00:21:28.980 Christmas should be every day.
00:21:31.260 Hey, be safe, man.
00:21:31.880 It's really nice to meet you.
00:21:33.140 Thanks, man.
00:21:34.020 Nice to meet you.
00:21:35.020 Come check.
00:21:36.020 Oh, you're for what?
00:21:36.820 A studio?
00:21:37.580 DJ.

00:22:39.140 Abdul.
00:22:40.060 Abdul, what do you love doing the most?
00:22:42.240 Uh, running my non-profit.
00:22:44.700 It's a non-profit for what?
00:22:46.280 Um, I help, uh, basically, underprivileged individuals in our area, northern Virginia,
00:22:51.400 um, get access to health care items, personal care items, and food.
00:22:55.900 Okay.
00:22:56.300 Do you do that in New York or in D.C.?
00:22:57.660 No, no.
00:22:57.960 We're hopefully to expand in New York someday, but right now we're local.
00:23:01.120 Why'd you start?
00:23:02.400 Wanted to give back to the community.
00:23:04.500 For Zakat or for yourself?
00:23:06.180 Um, just for the community, honestly.
00:23:08.120 Um, a friend of mine, you know, we thought it'd be just fun to give back on it.
00:23:12.420 Yeah.
00:23:12.660 Yeah.
00:23:12.960 So, it wasn't really for ourselves.
00:23:14.040 It's just, we wanted to help out somewhere.
00:23:15.820 Are you a good person?
00:23:17.060 I would hope so.
00:23:18.280 I don't want to make that decision myself.
00:23:20.460 Who makes that decision?
00:23:22.240 Dodd.
00:23:26.720 Oh, enjoy New York.
00:23:27.580 It's cold.
00:23:28.180 Hey, it was really great to meet you.
00:23:29.300 Likewise.
00:23:29.800 All right.

00:23:41.680 Right now?
00:23:42.380 Yeah.
00:23:43.220 Anywhere but here.
00:23:44.620 Home?
00:23:45.360 Yeah, probably.
00:23:46.320 Okay.

00:23:48.180 It's very cold.
00:23:49.020 Yeah, no, it's awful.
00:23:49.940 You have a nice scarf though.
00:23:51.120 Thank you.
00:23:51.480 Yeah, my aunt made it.
00:23:53.420 What's so great about your friends?
00:23:55.520 Well, they're always there for me and they're fun to be around and it's better than just being
00:23:59.360 in school alone all day.
00:24:00.460 So.
00:24:00.980 Do you go to NYU?
00:24:02.220 Huh?

00:25:29.520 Donovan, what do you love to do the most?
00:25:31.300 Play guitar.
00:25:33.260 I thought you were going to say thrifting, too.
00:25:34.600 That's what he said.
00:25:35.720 Nah, he's more of a close guy than I am.
00:25:38.100 I'll play guitar more often.
00:25:39.920 Who do you look up to as a guitar player?
00:25:42.340 Um, like Steve Vai, Kurt Cobain, like kind of those like my two main idols for guitar.
00:25:49.640 Not Jimi Hendrix?
00:25:50.440 That's my favorite.
00:25:51.640 Jimi Hendrix, so I love Jimi Hendrix.
00:25:53.740 But I don't really look up to him as much as Steve Vai.
00:25:56.640 How did you find what you love to do?
00:25:59.500 Uh, guitar.
00:26:00.460 I played it in middle school for my middle school band in seventh grade.
00:26:03.300 And that's how I like started playing guitar.
00:26:06.400 Just in middle school.
00:26:08.180 Are you a good person?
00:26:09.920 Um, I would like to say I'm a good person, yeah.
00:26:15.720 It seems like he looks like he didn't admit it, but I think he looks up to you.
00:26:18.880 He definitely looks up to me.
00:26:20.340 He's my little bro.
00:26:22.640 Are you a good role model for him?
00:26:26.100 Uh, not really.
00:26:27.180 I'm not going to lie to you.
00:26:27.960 I'm going to be honest.
00:26:28.440 Not really.
00:26:29.600 Why not?
00:26:31.260 Uh, Nikolaj, I'm taking some bad actions.
00:26:35.900 You know what I mean?
00:26:37.020 Not some bad things, so.
00:26:39.200 I wouldn't be that, I wouldn't be that good of a role model to him.
00:26:44.560 And I've influenced him, I've influenced him in bad ways through a little bit.
00:26:48.300 But.
00:26:50.300 Alright, be safe, bro.
00:26:51.460 Stay warm out here.

00:27:08.580 Ryan.
00:27:09.060 What do you love doing the most?
00:27:10.660 Singing.
00:27:12.820 Yeah.
00:27:13.860 Can I hear something?
00:27:15.460 No.
00:27:16.580 My voice is shot right now.
00:27:18.340 From what?
00:27:19.060 From singing all day.
00:27:20.020 Oh, okay.
00:27:20.860 No, it's not actually shot.
00:27:22.460 It's just under pressure.
00:27:24.000 Yeah, I'm nervous.
00:27:25.160 What are your goals?
00:27:27.200 To perform consistently.
00:27:29.960 Yeah.
00:27:30.500 In New York?
00:27:31.160 Yeah.
00:27:31.880 Or anywhere.
00:27:33.120 National tour could be fun.
00:27:35.120 So are you like a jazz war type of girl or a Broadway stage or a?
00:27:39.080 Broadway stage.
00:27:39.980 Broadway.
00:27:40.180 Sure.
00:27:40.460 That'd be cool.

00:27:51.280 You sobbed?
00:27:51.920 I cried.
00:27:53.020 What was so good about Wicked?
00:27:54.360 Oh, God.
00:27:54.980 I mean, it was just, it was what wasn't good about Wicked.
00:27:57.380 Ariana Grande was perfect.
00:27:58.480 Cynthia Eriva was perfect.
00:27:59.660 The vocals, the choreography, it was so, it was just perfect.
00:28:03.620 No notes.
00:28:04.820 Some of the interviews are really strange leading up to that movie.
00:28:07.940 Why?
00:28:08.700 The Ariana Grande and that woman, they're like crawling all over each other.
00:28:11.740 Oh, yeah.
00:28:12.500 I mean, it's emotional.
00:28:13.240 When you play a dream role like that, like, yeah, you get emotional.
00:28:17.100 What did I ask you last time you came on?
00:28:19.400 What did I ask you about?
00:28:20.100 You asked me what my dreams were, and then you asked me about...
00:28:23.840 Where I went to school, and you asked me if I liked it there.
00:28:27.740 I go to NYU, and then you asked me who I voted for in the election.
00:28:32.500 You have a good memory.
00:28:33.140 You remember all the questions.
00:28:34.100 Well, it was kind of a pivotal part of my day, I can't lie.
00:28:37.480 Did it make you think?
00:28:39.000 Yeah.
00:28:39.540 I was worried about what it was going to look like on the internet.
00:28:42.100 I was like, oh, God.
00:28:43.560 But it didn't pop up.
00:28:44.400 I didn't see it yet, no.
00:28:45.660 So overall positive.
