[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] You are now listening to the narrative podcast with Halsey Allen. The narrative podcast is changing the narrative one episode at a time. [Music] Hello, how you doing? We back at it another episode of the narrative podcast. The narrative podcast is the home for original people, original people piece, original people reciprocity, and original people positivity. And I am your host Halsey Allen. Welcome to the narrative podcast. Welcome all my narrators. So, yeah, this is the narrative podcast weekend edition. So, as I promised several hours ago, I said I'm going to be here back, you know, with a full episode of the weekend edition. So, the Friday edition got uploaded at midnight, but technically it was, you know, the weekday edition. So, I hit you three times during the week this week. So, that's a first, you know, I'm on the mission to make my presence more pronounced during the weekday. But anyway, welcome to the narrative podcast. Welcome to all my narrators. The narrative podcast promotes positive reinforcement in self-images of original people and original people culture. So, before diving into the content, how I usually start these things off is just give a brief overview. Of the format for proper context. So, you can, you know, have a better idea of what you're listening to and what type of content to expect from me. And, you know, also be more attentive and digest the content better. So, without any further ado diving into the synopsis of the narrative podcast. Starting at the top tip of the name, the narrative podcast, I named my podcast, the narrative podcast. Because I don't like the false narrative that the media weaves about original people and original people culture. So, what I wanted to do to counter that is design a platform where I'm uplifting and edifying original people rather than tearing them down and, you know, gossiping about them. So, the media basically intentionally vilifies us intentionally misappropriates our images and our likenesses. So, what I want to do to do to counter that is to design a platform where I'm building this up and giving us a positive reinforcement and basically celebrating all our accomplishments. And putting out positive frames of reference about our people and our culture to, you know, counter the way we're portrayed and depicted in the media. So, that's basically my mission statement for the narrative podcast. I also want to, you know, encourage my listening audience to utilize their platforms to share positive frames of reference about our people and our culture. And also to bring awareness to the listening audience, to the listening audience to why that's important, which is a perfect segue to my tagline. The narrative podcast, changing the narrative one episode at a time by destroying negative stereotypes about original people and original people culture. So, how do I destroy the negative stereotypes by providing positive frames of reference about our people and our culture. And that's entirely what the narrative podcast is all about providing positive frames of reference about original people and original people culture. So, you know, that's, you know, the mission statement in the nutshell. Now, the first misnomer about the narrative podcast, you need to be aware of, I call, or refer to my target listening audience as my narrators. And the reason why I do that, that's basically acknowledging the times we're living in, we're living in the digital information age. Everybody shares information online. You know, pretty much, you know, we're living in the social media age and all social media platforms have a bio section. And in the bio section, everybody's basically, you know, telling their own story. See, we get online, we share information, but then we also, you know, tell our hobbies, our interests, you know, our turn-offs, turn-offs, what we're into. But essentially, we're just, when we're creating content, we're just telling or narrating your own story. So, you know, having said that, you know, people, when they typically tell their own story, they're telling, you know, the best version of a story you can possibly tell about yourself. People's putting out positive frames of reference about whatever they're into, you know, when you view their content, when you view their page, you're looking at, you know, the most fun. You know, they got money, they travel, they have fun with their friends, whatever they're into, you know, whatever they're posting, whatever they're sharing. It's a positive story. You know, there are exceptions to every rule. Some people get online and they are, you know, they share pitiful misery. You know, they're so sad and nothing, they're never going right for them. You know, there's an exception to that rule. There's, like, people out there, like, there's real miserable people out here sharing miserable stuff online, but, you know, that woes me stuff, oh, pray for me. I got a toothache. I got to get my tooth pulled out. You know, I guess I'll make it. I guess I'll be all right. But the general rule of thumb online, basically everybody, you know, puts out the best version of themselves, the best version of their content, the best version of their page. So they're telling and narrating their own story. So, you know, that's what I believe we, as a people, original people, need to try to do online is to put out the best, you know, versions of ourselves. You know, we need to tell or narrate our own stories. So if history hasn't taught us anything as taught as this, if you don't tell your own story, your own story will be told for you. And as precisely what the media is doing to our people, they're telling our, telling or narrating our story for us. And the way they're telling our story is, you know, they're telling it from the perspective that all the men are, you know, pimps, gangbangers, criminals, you know, low-life degenerates, you know, that's the story that they're telling our story. You know, front, and our women is like whores and thoughts and prostitutes and, you know, unladylike, angry. So, you know, that's why it's important to, you know, put out the best frames of reference as possible about our people and our culture. And that's why I call my target listening audience, my narrators, you know, just in an effort to submit the point to tell or narrate our own stories. And when you're telling or narrating your own story, it doesn't necessarily make it be your story. You don't have to put out the positive frames of reference about celebrities or, you know, it could just be like something you are something positive, you're doing something positive and family members doing something positive, somebody in your community's doing. But whatever, you know, frame of reference you put out there in the universe, just make sure it's a positive one reflective of, you know, yourself or your community. Because, you know, we're playing right into their hands by regurgitating these negative stigmas and stereotypes that they place over us. Basically saw a programming, psychological programming and conditioning, you know. So yeah, that's why I call my target listening audience, my narrators. I just want to do a quick little sub points before I go into another thing you need to know about my podcast. So like I, as I said, the media intentionally vilifies and misappropriates our people's images and our in likenesses. But they do that to primarily garner a profit because all negative things sell. And then they also do that to, you know, keep the agenda going. The agenda by the owners of the people that, you know, can like own most of the media in the world. And who are the owners of like, you know, the digital media, the liberal media, the powers to be, who are they. They are elite society, upper class, the higher echelon, AKA wealthy white people. And the agenda is that they want to push is, you know, basically like supremacy. You know, they want to be better than everybody else. They want to be, you know, supremacy, classism, mass consumption, excuse me. I said mass consumption. Well, yeah, mass consumerism is mass consumption, but the point I was trying to make, they want to promote mass consumerism. You know, they want to feel important. They want to be the face of financial wealth. They want to be the face of sophistication, refinement, elegance, class, fancy. You know, they want to be, they're the fancy pants people. You know, the people that talk like this and, you know, and all that stuff, you know, that's the, you know, that's the higher echelon. And to, you know, maintain their status as sophisticated people, what they tend to do is to make themselves feel important. They surround themselves with status symbols. And they want to, you know, promote. That's what you need to be. We all have somewhere we're trying to get to as the largest energy producer in Colorado. Chevron is helping meet rising demand and we're working to do it responsibly. Our next gen tankless facilities reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of our operations by more than 90% compared to our older designs. Working to provide Colorado with energy that's affordable, reliable, and ever cleaner. So everyone can get to where they want to be. You've arrived. That's energy in progress. Visit chevron.com/tankless. Innovative materials, unexpected colorways, and fresh clean styles that rise above trends. That's how our friends at movement design their California modern watches.

Life to be happy, that's what you need to be in life to be successful. You know, these data symbols define you as a person, define your status in life. You know, your tax bracket. You know, the big house, the fancy car, you know, the exclusive getaways, the vacays, the first class treatment, the four star restaurants and hotels. This is, you know, what they're pushing and promoting, you know, to be the higher echelon, to be exclusive, to have limited edition house cars, vehicles, and what have you. So this is like, you know, they're where saying I'm important in anybody that doesn't, you know, have the same, you know, amount of money as I have or, you know, born into wealth. Their lives don't matter, you know, their low lives, you know, what do they call them, riff-raff. But yeah, they do it to everybody, they vilify everybody, they use the media to make everyone else's life seem, you know, worthless when compared to theirs. Because, you know, they're living the Robin Leach lifestyle, you know, lifestyles that are rich and famous, you know, jet-sitting and all that. And, you know, that's how they run the world, that's how they run international finances, trade, et cetera. So again, like psychological programming and conditioning, they want to make everyone else seemed violent, unrefined, uncultured, unintelligent, you know, when compared to them and how they live. And like I said, they do it to everybody, they do it to all classes, races, crease, religion, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But out of all the people they do it to, they do it to our people the most. And the reason why they do it to our people the most is because they fear our people the most. You know, the upper class, they're, you know, they're natural historians, they're aware of their history, and they're aware of our history. And what they know from studying history, they know if there never was a us, there would never be a then, because it was because of us that they acquired their financial wealth surrounded themselves status symbols and built and built these hierarchies and systems of government to submit, you know, their role in society. Basically, out of fear of us and jealousy of us, they were fearful of us, and they were from day one, there was frightened of us, and you know, there was jealous of us, they want to be so much like us, you know, it just drove them crazy. But, yeah, that's why they target our people. They target us because we're so dynamic and so impactful that we, you know, rival their way of life, because everybody, you know, all over the world, they want to be like us. They emulate us, they copy us, everybody, you know, we're just naturally important. You know, we just, people just naturally gravitate to us. They want to know more about us. They want to try to be like us. We don't have to surround ourselves with these status symbols to be important. And, you know, that's, you know, what they're afraid of, why they do it to us so much that we will inspire people to say, wake up, hey, I don't have to buy, you know, this $5,000 shirt because I got $5,000. I'll have to spend this, you know, 1.2, whatever million on a car, just because I had one point, whatever million to spend. And then, you know, that would, you know, take away from their importance. That wouldn't be, you know, exclusive anymore because, you know, no one would value the things that they value. So, longer story short, we represent a direct threat to their power, a direct threat to their, you know, financial wealth because of how our magnetic personalities because how impactful and influential we are as a people. You know, they know the rest of the world is going to follow our lead once we, you know, stop taking the bait for, you know, mass consumerism. But their biggest fear will really keep some up at night is that, you know, we will unify and, you know, start getting along with each other and reclaim everything that's ours. Reclaim everything that they took and that they're currently taking from us and do to them what they've done to us. You know, that's what keeps them up at night. That's what keeps them, you know, manipulating headlines and, you know, putting out these negative stereotypes and stigmas about our people and our culture. So next order of business, the narrative podcast is a positive space. I don't engage in any gossip, slander, negativity, pretty much any kind when it comes to our people and our culture, it's all about upliftment. Being, you know, upliftment, positive reinforcement, you know, it's not about name-calling, slandering, and none of that, you know, this is a positive space. You know, this is a space to build. Because like I said, the whole purpose of the narrative podcast is just basically to counter the mainstream media's inaccurate portrayal of our people and our culture. You know, in the manner which we're always depicted in television, movies and films. You know, they basically have made us the face of degeneracy, and then I already told you why they do it. So on here, what I just want to have this space be is just a happy space, basically. So yeah, now, even though this is a positive space, it's also a space of truth. I don't, you know, I don't sugarcoat it. I tell it whatever I need to tell. I tell it like it is. While I don't condone, you know, gossip and slander, honest, in my space, I do promote the truth. And if I feel like somebody from our community is intentionally, you know, using their platform to, you know, promote negative stereotypes and stigmas about our people, and I will call said individuals out, but other than that, I don't like, you know, try to insert myself into the conversation. I don't try to, you know, do go with the crowd for the clicks and the views and the likes and all that. The only time I actually bring up a person's name in our community is really to uplift them and edify them and, you know, speak about them in a positive way. But if I do, if they are, if they're going through something negative and I bring their name up, it's just really to illustrate a point. And basically all the points that I try to illustrate and the way I try to frame it up is from the perspective of, you know, when something negative in our community happens, it's usually, you can link it back to systemic programming and conditioning. It's a good 89% of everything we do in our community. That's negative. It's because we've been programmed and conditioned by the powers that be to, you know, behave and act in that manner and to behave and act, you know, negatively towards one another, you know, talk about each other bad. And commit acts of violence and crime against each other because we've been programmed and conditioned by the media to do that. It's in the music, it's in television, it's in movies and like over time when we're just seeing it for hundreds of years, you know, we subconsciously acted out, you know, that's how I try to frame it up. If I'm ever bringing up a famous person's name, just to illustrate that point. Next, this is time sensitive space. I try not to exceed one hour per broadcast. The reason why is because of number one, I'm an audio platform. You know, I want to keep you entertained and informed. And I can't do that if I'm boring you to sleep. So I just try to, you know, try to have speaking points and try not to, you know, be redundant and boring. I don't, you know, I want to keep it lively. I want to keep it, you know, fascinating and just like interesting enough for you to actually listen to a whole episode and you can't do that. If you're just rambling on and, you know, talking in circles and not making any real clear points. So that's why I try to time each episode. And, you know, try not to exceed one hour per broadcast because, you know, when you're talking and talking, eventually you get the 9/9. You know, just, so I just try to keep it short and sweet is what I'm saying. And then lastly, last but not least, I know you heard me say it over a dozen times. Original people, original people, I refer to our people, black people, Negro, whatever you want to call us as original people. You know, the reason why I do that is just basically because it's historically accurate. We were and are the original people of this, you know, planet was here thousands of years before everybody. So it's just, you know, historically accurate to refer to us as original people, you know, because we're not black. Black is a color, like we come in all different flesh tones. Even the really dark skinned ones of us aren't black. They're like a dark mahogany. You know, there's some of us that are so dark that we actually look purple, but, you know, we're not black. So it's historically accurate. Then also, you know, another reason why I refer to our people as original people is because, you know, because we're so diverse. Because there's so many different types of us, you know, the one thing we all have in common is that we was here first, original. And, you know, we all possess high concentrations of melanin and can also, you know, trace our link. We all have somewhere we're trying to get to. As the largest energy producer in Colorado, Chevron is helping meet rising demand, and we're working to do it responsibly. Our next-gen, tankless facilities reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of our operations by more than 90% compared to our older designs. Working to provide Colorado with energy that's affordable, reliable, and ever cleaner. So everyone can get to where they want to be. You've arrived. That's energy in progress. Visit chevron.com/tankless. Innovative materials, unexpected colorways, and fresh, clean styles that rise above trends. That's how movement designs their California modern watches. And to celebrate their 11-year anniversary, they're having a huge site-wide sale with up to 60% off site-wide. From movement bestsellers like smooth ceramics and automatics to other new arrivals, save big during movement's anniversary sale. Shop now for up to 60% off site-wide at movement.com. That's mvmt.com. It's back to, you know, the point of origin for all civilization. So, you know, whatever we believe in, whatever, you know, we refer to ourselves as, at the end of the day, we're all original. We could argue about the reparations and all that later, but, you know, we're all original people. You know, so that's why I refer to our people as original people. One quick more thing I always tack on to the original people thing is, you know, being original people, being that who was here first, you know, I don't like the false narrative that history, you know, spins about our people. You know, they want to try to glamorize slavery, you know, just attach slavery to, you know, us as a people to deflect about how to really deflect our greatness. Like that was the most defining moment in history, like I said, it was thousands of years, here thousands of years before the slave trade. So, having said that, you know, we existed pretty much everywhere on the planet. There's seven continents, was already individually located on all seven continents. High concentrations of us was already living there, existing there, long before slavery. Long before the concept of slavery, long before, you know, the thought, somebody said, "Hey, you know, let's put these people in chains. Let's take these people from their land and, you know, do horrible things to them." Like, you know, we had a whole existence before slavery. We was like rulers, kings and queens, gods and goddesses, like, you know, who was way more than just slaves. Another thing about slavery, you know, the false narrative about the transatlantic slave trade is like why slavery did happen. They also exaggerated about, you know, the time period throughout and everything when you use, like, critical thinking and just ask yourself questions, like, simple questions, like, how is that even possible to, you know, take people for thousands of years from, you know, the continent of Africa and all these different places around that route. They don't add up, they don't make sense. All those other ports and stops before they got to America. Like, we was already, like, indigenously located. Most of us was already here. And all they did is just call us Negro and put us on plantations. We already existed in the Americas. We already existed in any Spanish-speaking country. You know, I just wanted to say that, like, you know, we had a whole existence before slavery. It was already all parts of Europe. You know, the Mediterranean, Italy, Greece, you know, North America, South America, you know, everywhere, you know, every Spanish-speaking nation you can possibly think of who was already there. It was already on the continent of Asia. It was in places like Ireland, it was in places like Scotland, Germany, you know, Norway, Sweden, Poland, you know, France. Even the North and South Pole, like, all the islands, Hawaii. She was places like, you know, who's everywhere is what I'm saying. So the notion that, you know, just slavery defined us as a people is just totally false. So I just wanted to, I always take a moment to address that. So while it did happen, while it was brutal and cruel and all that, you know, just, you know, the science of it, the historical accuracy is off. It's flawed, the way they keep on, you know, telling the story of slavery, how we came to be here in America, which really goes back to my original point about psychological programming and conditioning. You know, it's a form of fear programming. It's a way of, like, keeping us in line and also, you know, affecting our self-esteem. Anyway, I think you got the just general gist of the narrative podcast. You're fuzzy about anything. I'm over 300 episodes in, you know, you can bring yourself up to speed, but we want to dive on into the content now. This is a weekend edition of the narrative podcast. And how this differs from my weekday uploads of the narrative podcast is I have a few more sections. Then I normally do during the weekday. That's really all about it. So with this first section, we're going to start off. It's called the highlight section. And the highlight section, what I'm doing is, you know, like I said, the narrative podcast is all about providing positive frames of reference. So in the highlight section, the positive frame of reference that I'm providing is the positive frame of reference about entrepreneurialism. And the reason why I feel like I have to provide that frame of reference is because we don't have a lot of those. The very few frames of reference about doing for self and being self-sufficient comes in the form of scripted reality television shows. And all these scripted reality television shows, they're so messy, so toxic, you know, it takes away from the fact that, you know, most of the people on those scripted realities. Television shows about, you know, entrepreneurialism or being an entrepreneur is just like, you know, it's drowned out with the chaos that the producers of those shows promote. You know, they want to see us fighting and fornicating on camera, engaging in, you know, a moral degenerate behavior. You know, women are conducting themselves, unladylike on those shows and guys and fellas, we, you know, we can conduct in ourselves like immature little boys. Yeah, just, they just have us put out like nobody even attempted to raise us. Like, that's how they, you know, promote our images and our likenesses on scripted reality television shows. Meanwhile, the people that they use for the shows are well-to-do entrepreneurs, well-to-do businessmen and businessmen and women own several different businesses and, you know, feed families, their brand feeds families and feeds the community, but you will never know, you know, watching them on that scripted reality television shows because the producers just want to bring out the worst of them instead of the best of them. So, longer story short, what I'm doing in the highlight section of the narrative podcast, I'm walking you through an entrepreneur's journey, you know, without all the messiness. So, the types of qualifying factors that I use to highlight the entrepreneur in the highlight section of the narrative podcast consist of these. First and foremost, you know, there are original people entrepreneur that own, operate their own business, hire their own. They also do some type of community outreach or activism. They either pay into a nonprofit organization or they have their own nonprofit organization. They hire their own, you know, like I said, they're doing something for the community that they're located in. And then, last but not least, they align up with my theme and my current theme is just, you know, nationally recognized holidays. Also, many of these entrepreneurs, another thing that I want to showcase in this section is like many of them don't possess traditional education. Like a lot of them didn't go to college. You know, they're picking it up just as they're going. They stepped out on faith. They didn't have a business plan. They don't have expertise or background in whatever business that they started. You know, they basically just stepped out on faith and pursued something that they was passionate about and found a way to become successful business person. Because the media have its brainwashed and conditioned to believe, you know, it's impossible to start strong business. You can, you know, you can never do nothing for yourself. You have to be complicit with being dependent on this system and the government and all that. So not saying being a nine to five workers, a bad thing, but just, I want to show there is an alternative way. You know, if you really desire to own your own business, you can, and this person did it, and this is how. So what I try to do in this section is walk you through their journey, how they came up with their business, you know, what inspired them and, you know, where they grew up. If I have the information available where they grew up and, you know, little things about their background growing up, where they went to school, you know, what state they grew up in and all that. That's why I try to give you, but a lot of times the information isn't readily available on the internet. So, you know, I can just provide you with the information that I can find. But anyway, so now that you know what the highlight section is all about, I'm going to dive right on in. I do want to say disclaimer, usually I have four to six references, frames of reference in the highlight section. Today, I will only be highlighting one business because, you know, I pretty much highlighted all the other businesses at a different time of month. I believe one day was, well, I'll tell you a little bit later, but anyway. So, today is July 13th, and it is National Friday. Not Friday the weekday, Friday as in French Friday. So, the business, the one business I will be highlighting is the business that specializes in the production of French fries. And like I said, you know, the reason why I only had one reference is because I did all the other ones on either, like, I think it was like loaded Friday. They had, you know, a national holiday called loaded Friday, and I think I did that. For the rest of them, like, there's literally like thousands of places out there that specialize in French fries or are known for their French fries. But, you know, this one in a particular place just kind of stood out to me and, you know, that's why I'm just choosing to highlight this just one person because I pretty much typically did all the other places. But, um, on this weekend episode of the narrative podcast in the highlight section, I'll be highlighting the business called big, or excuse me, bag ladies. We all have somewhere we're trying to get to. As the largest energy producer in Colorado, Chevron is helping meet rising demand, and we're working to do it responsibly. Our next gen tankless facilities reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of our operations by more than 90% compared to our older designs, working to provide Colorado with energy that's affordable, reliable, and ever cleaner. So everyone can get to where they want to be. You've arrived. That's energy and progress. Visit chevron.com/tankless. Hello, it is Ryan, and we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we?

So bag ladies was established in 2021 by two biological brothers by the name of Brandon and James Littleton. They got the inspiration to call their establishment. It was inspired by their grandmothers. You know, their one grandma on their mother's side and their grandmothers on their father's side, obviously. So that was inspired to, you know, create this restaurant. French fries was their favorite snack growing up. And each grandmother kind of had their own unique, you know, way to prepare French fries. So, you know, they live in Nashville, Tennessee. In that region of the world, they call them taters. And so, you know, their grandparents, their grandmothers were prepared taters. And in their region, what they typically do when they deep fry, home cut fries is they like, they usually tear them out. After they come out of the hot grease, they usually like tear up like a, what do I want to say? Like a grocery bag, a paper, a paper sack to drain the grease, and then they usually take another like, you know, those paper lunch, lunch sacks after the, after the grease, after the grease has been drained off it, they take one of those like paper sacks you use. So, like, put your lunch in and they put them in, put them in like that and then add the fry seasoning and whatever else they put on the fries. So, that's where they came up with that concept. And why they call it bag ladies. Now, assist them apart from most other businesses that specialize in French fries is that they, you know, all their French fries are in house cut. You know, they buy from real actual potatoes. They're not using the pre-packaged processed ones. So, so real potatoes, and then they, um, Brian their potatoes and then they, uh, yeah, they're rinsing Brian their potatoes. That's their trade secret. Um, and they are also motivated to give back to the community. They hire a lot of people in that region that they're located in and, you know, they give free food away whenever possible. And, um, they also, you know, try to, um, give back to anything that the community needs. And then another thing that has a business that separates them from other businesses. They have their own food truck and they, um, will, uh, rent their food, food truck out to, you know, private functions, private parties. So, if you want them to pull up on you, you know, they'll pull up on you with their mobile food trucks. They have a brick and mortar location and they also have a food truck. So, they rent, you know, the, uh, lease out their brick and mortar for a private gathering and also, um, lease out their mobile food truck for a private gathering. Some more unique things about them is that they, uh, you know, like I said, they specialize in french fries. They have the, um, you know, plain, just french fries, uh, cheese covered french fries. Um, and then, of course, fully loaded french fries. Uh, the biggest seller is their, uh, I think they're like chopped brisket on the menu. That's it. They say that's their number one. They also sell wings, burgers, and, um, wraps and then they got their own little version of a chipotle bowl. They call it a loaded bag, which is basically like, um, sweet potatoes for the base and then whatever toppings you want on it. And then also, um, they have their own, um, dessert fries, which is basically like a funnel cake and then whatever sweet toppings you want on that. And then ice cream, so it's like, uh, there's some big back activity happening there at their location. Uh, they take something, you know, really simplistic in nature and found a way to, you know, market it and do some creative, innovative things with it. Um, and then last but not least, uh, what I found interesting is like, they sell fresh. For their, um, beverages, like, uh, you know, that's like a whole stereotype in the head, but, you know, we like that crush. Like, the grape flavored, um, strawberry and orange, like, come on now, especially if you grew up in the south. But, um, anyway, yeah, definitely worth checking out. So they're a business, they're located in Nashville, Tennessee, they're brick and loar. They're brick and mortar location addresses, 402 Buchanan Street, Nashville, Tennessee, 37, 208, and go check them out. All yeah, and then their website, you can place orders online as well at, uh, bagladies.com. So let's put them together, give a warm narrative podcast, round of applause for the Little Tim Brothers, Brandon and James, and their bag ladies fries establishment. Our bag ladies fry joint establishment. All right, moving right along. The next, um, section of the narrative podcast section is called the spotlight section. In this section, what I'm doing is I'm basically, um, spotlighting a prominent figure within our community doing something positive, something impactful. Um, to uplift the edifier people in a positive way. You know, when I started the spotlight section, usually I just, you know, relegated it to, um, celebrities, public figures, actors, actresses, athletes, entertainers. Uh, you know, but as of yet, you know, I decided to just spotlight, um, regular people because I don't, I don't want to play into the negative stereotype that all we know how to do is entertain. So, having said that, I'm spotlighting somebody pretty much kind of normal. I mean, she is in the entertainment industry. It's hard to explain that, um, well, more, more like the art, she's an artist, more, more, she's more like an artist. But, um, I'm spotlighting, uh, an artist, um, but not for nothing. Oh, yeah, kind of, uh, skips, kind of getting ahead of myself. So, you know, this section is basically like I'm, um, staying true to my mission statement. Um, this section is basically all about positive reinforcement. You know, you know, saying something nice about your brother or sister online, 'cause, you know, we got a bad reputation of, you know, dragging each other through the mud, hearing our dirty laundry and all that. So, that's why I'm doing this section is just to, uh, create the healthy habit. Um, you know, saying, utilizing your platform to say something positive about your brother or sister instead of something negative, like legitimately, you know, you know, how you're a child when, was, you know, an adult would tell you if you don't have something nice to say, don't say nothing at all. Like, I really feel like a whole lot of entertainers, you know, they're getting a whole lot of trouble just simply by volunteering some information, 'cause you don't need to volunteer, like, you can answer a question, but, you know, you can't keep it real, but if you don't have nothing nice to say to 'em, 'cause, like, half the interviewers, these podcasters and talk show hosts are really just trying to bait you to get you to say something negative about somebody. They often say, this person say, said this and they don't have the actual quote from 'em or that they got the quote there, you know, they'll twist it and contort it and make it sound, take it all the way out of context. And when you go check back, that's not what they actually said and all that, so, you know, why they do it, they're just trying to get the money, but in the meantime, they're causing, you know, confusion and chaos and havoc in our community. So, I would just say to all the celebrities and entertainers, you don't have something nice to say about your brother's sister, just say, no, calm me, you don't always have to be, so, you know, forthcoming with your opinion, you know, as the old saying goes, bullshit ain't about nothing. And half of these beefs, industry beefs are total BS, so, but anyway, that's what the spotlight section is about, from spotlighting people within our community doing positive things for our community. And not for nothing, I'm the one that started the way for spotlighting. Because before I had the spotlight section, it's my podcast, the narrative podcast, nobody, nobody with spotlighting anybody. So yeah, you're welcome. You are now listening to the narrative podcast with Halsey Allen, the narrative podcast is changing the narrative one episode at a time. In the real way. So yeah, I created the way for spotlighting because, like, wasn't nobody spotlighting, like, this internet, you know, it makes the world kind of small. Even though I don't have a lot of followers and my stats ain't doing all that. I know somebody, like, influential people listening to me because a whole lot of influential, like, super famous people, super famous celebrities, they kind of, like, you know, give these little fancy knives that they're paying attention to my content because they often incorporate things that I say into their content. Not only that, my cadence is the way I say certain things I say, you know, to say they incorporate it into their, you know, content. So I haven't had no full on, just shout-outs yet, but, you know, it's evident. You know, you know, when somebody is letting you know they're watching, you know what I'm saying? So it's evident. It's really, like, really super playing, super clear. You know, who's messing with me, who's rocking with me because it's just like, you know, it's not a coincidence. Whatever the reason, I don't do it for the recognition if I was in for the recognition or the fact. We all have somewhere we're trying to get to. As the largest energy producer in Colorado, Chevron is helping meet rising demand, and we're working to do it responsibly. Our next-gen, tankless facilities reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of our operations by more than 90% compared to our older designs. Working to provide Colorado with energy that's affordable, reliable, and ever cleaner. So everyone can get to where they want to be. You've arrived. That's energy and progress.

Hey, I would have stopped a long time ago because there's, like, almost virtually no money in this. You have to be, like, backed by major sponsors and all that to be, like, highly successful in the podcast game. Like I said, I'm here for the people. The people are supporting me. A lot of the people are famous because, you know, I'm getting enough to sustain the podcast and keep on uploading and doing more episodes. You know, I get to the point, eventually, in the near future, to expand the platform where I can get out, put out even more positive frames of referencing. You know, do things to uplift my community and, you know, put my people on. But, you know, I'm doing some pretty tremendous things in this little audio space that I'm occupying. I'm, you know, sending shockwaves. I'm being observed by some really influential people. But, anyway, so, as I said, you know, invitation is the best form of flattery. So many people, you know, sang spotlight and spotlight this every time somebody has a guest on the show. You know, spotlight this and spotlight that. You know, nobody was doing that before I started doing this. You know, it is really, it is. Like they say, invitation is the best form of flattery on flattery. So I started something positive to, you know, take away from something negative. And now, so many people are following my lead. That makes me feel great. But, anyway, on to the spotlight section of the narrative podcast this week on the full episode of the narrative podcast week in addition. The spotlight goes to a system by the name of Misty Copeland. Misty Copeland is Valorina, author, activist philanthropist, author. She wears a whole lot of hats, but I'm spotlighting her for her, you know, dedication and giving back to the community, especially, you know, in her profession. Art, theater, ballet, you know, that is a really highly disciplined art form that's almost like right up in there with like any, like, team sport or, you know, fighting discipline. Like, it takes a whole lot of discipline to do ballet, the movement, sonata. So Misty was born in 1982. She has from Kansas City, Missouri. She grew up in low income housing. She became interested in ballet at the age of 13. She started that, got into a ballet program at the Boys and Girls Club. And then from there, she went to San Jo Pedro Ballet School. And then after that, she enrolled at San Francisco Ballet and her final institution. She studied the art of ballet was from the American Ballet Theater. So like I said, she's been advocating, she advocates for the Boys and Girls Club. She has her own non-profit organization called Misty Copeland Foundation. And what the Misty Copeland Foundation is is basically, it's an after school program for young ladies between eight to ten years old, which basically focuses on age appropriate health, wellness, content. Ballet, of course, mentoring, and tutoring, and just other positive things to help change their trajectory in life. So what she did a lot of years ago is to build her own experience from the institution. She learned how to dance and just basically, you know, tried to impact the young youth's life to change their trajectory in life and plant the seed, basically like somebody plant the seed in her to make her one of a pursuit. So, you know, she's appeared on several different, you know, Broadway shows. She's been on the Nutcracker. She's been dancing her whole life. A philanthropist, she gives back, she's on arts, types of committees and boards for the youth. And she's a really impactful driving force with keeping the arts active, you know, because that used to be a whole thing in our community. Dance is a very big part of our community, like, you know, with the culture of hip-hop, you know, how many dances in there. And then dance kind of even way back, you know, African dances, tribal dances, dances here to the native indigenous people of this land, you know. So, dance is, you know, a way of life and she embodies that and she instills that in the youth. And that's why I'm giving her the spotlight this week here on the narrative podcast. So, let's put them together and give a warm there the podcast round of applause for our sister, Misty Copeland. [Applause] Alright, next on the narrative podcast, health and wellness section. In this section, I'm basically, it is how it sounds. I'm talking to you about health and wellness matters. Total body health and wellness and why I feel that's important to do that is because, you know, our people are suffering in all areas of health. We're suffering mentally, we're suffering physically, we're suffering spiritually. We're suffering because we're being attacked in all of them areas, like they're legitimately putting things in the atmosphere that affects our overall physical health. They're putting things in, you know, our grooming products, the things we eat, things we wear, clothes, grooming products, things we come in surface contact with that affects our physical health. Mental health already tells you what they're doing, you know, with the media, how they're psychologically attacking us with that. Spiritually attacking, like there's all kind of dark demonic things going on and highly weird with our people. Like we've seen, we see it, we just like look at the celebrities, like, you know what I mean? So, hey, so we're being spiritually attacked too. So it's not a conspiracy theory, this is reality, how to order people in the world, our people, you know, is the ones who are being attacked the most. You know, specifically targeting our DNA, our physical genetic makeup is trying to eradicate us from the planet in their attack and it's mentally feared, physically, spiritually and economically as well. But however, in the health and wellness section, I don't talk about economics, I let that other financial rules handle that. I'm just here to provide, you know, solutions for all the areas that we're being attacked so we can armor up and protect ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually. So I give out, you know, health and wellness tips on the in the health and wellness section of the narrative podcast. I want to make a quick disclaimer on, you know, my contents for anybody to listen to from whatever walk of life you're from, you know, whatever your religious background, your ethnic background, whatever, whatever. But, you know, my target listening audience, my core listening audience is original people, and all my content is, you know, for the upliftment and edification of original people. So we'll have, you know, happier, healthier, more prosperous lives and, you know, having said that, you know, this section, especially, is for us, the health and wellness is for a total body health and wellness for us. So all the tips that I'm giving here on here is just, you know, things that will improve our unique, you know, genetic composition. Because, you know, we've been programmed in condition to this, especially in, you know, religious circles. So lock in that we, with this, this fallacy that we are all one, we're all one, we're all one with the universe, God loves us all the same and we're all, you know, it is but it isn't like we are. We kind of are all one, we're kind of are all one blood, but then, you know, you can't not acknowledge the difference, like variety is a spice of life, we're all different. You know, we'll just be absolutely madness to think, you know, the things that will keep you healthy and fit will keep me healthy and fit, you know, we just need different things to stay alive. You know, on the physical side of it, there's certain foods that will give me, it will help sustain my life being an original person. Whereas, you know, things that will help sustain my life and fortify my body will, you know, harm your body and vice versa. Same thing with religion, same thing with spirituality, like, you know, just look at the churches, just look at the mods, there's differences, but not all one, we're not. We're all uniquely different, and we all have, you know, different dietetic needs because of our unique differences, our unique compositions. So, you know, we all have different needs to sustain life, so we're not all one, like, cut the cap. But anyway, with this health and wellness tip of the day, usually, it consists of, like, an example of a physical health and wellness tip, where we like the health benefits of a plant herb extract or a liquor. We all have somewhere we're trying to get to. As the largest energy producer in Colorado, Chevron is helping meet rising demand, and we're working to do it responsibly. Our next-gen, tankless facilities reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of our operations by more than 90% compared to our older designs, working to provide Colorado with energy that's affordable, reliable, and ever cleaner.

So, you can ingest or apply topically to improve your overall total body health or, you know, some type of physical exercise you can perform to stay in peak physical health. On the mental side of it, you know, like I said, we're all different. We all have different cultural, mental, you know, mental triggers. You know, we all have different mental traumas, you know, things that we go through culturally. So, for original people, you know, things that would keep us in good mental health. Things we can do to, you know, keep us grounded mentally. Keep us in sound, mind and body. Then there's like the different types of, you know, techniques and things you can do to stay in good mental health. And then spiritual practices as well, such as meditation, you know, breathing and, you know, things we can do to prevent spiritual attacks. Keep our spirit aligned in good harmony with the earth. So, you know, those are the types of things I would discuss in the health and wellness section of the narrative podcast. So, this week is a physical week. I'm going to be, you know, give you rundown right quick health benefits of watercress. So, watercress is, you know, a coniferous plant. It's definitely on Dr. Sebi's list, it's a living food, it's electric. For our people, original people, what we want to do is we always want to incorporate something green into our diets, because anything green has chlorophyll in it and chlorophyll fortifies our melanin. You know, chlorophyll anything green is good for our melanin. But anyway, like I said, watercress is a coniferous plant. So, basically, a coniferous plant is just, you know, a plant that produces like needles. So, like, anything spiky, like a hedge or something like that, it's in that family. A plant, you know, I think, you know, certain types of herbs are coniferous as well, like thyme and rosemary. I said thyme, thyme. So, sorry, y'all. I'm just a little tired. Anyway, so back on with the health and wellness tip of the day. Watercress is rich in minerals by the means A, K, and C. Proceed in K, excuse me. Full of antioxidants and anything that possesses antioxidants helps you burn fat. It's rich in fiber, so it's good for, you know, if you're trying to lose weight, it'll prevent you anything with a whole lot of fiber. It'll make you feel full, and so it'll prevent you from overeating. Because, you know, you can eat healthy, but it's all in moderation, so as the old saying goes, a apple a day keeps the doctor away, not apples, flour. So, like, you know, it'll control, you know, help you curve anything high in fiber, help you curve cravings and, you know, keep you, prevent you from overeating. So, it's good for bone health, makes your bones stronger, good for your eyes. It's also a highly sustainable food, very easy to grow, you can grow outdoors or indoors. It's also anti-inflammatory, so anti-inflammation is the root cause of disease. So, any part of your body that's become inflamed, you know, sickness is sure to follow. It's also good for a good gut health. It's good to clean you out for sure, if you're blocked up, good for your hair, skin and nails. It's also good for heart health, it expands, you know, it's good for blood circulation and blood flow as well. And the host of other health benefits as well, basically it's a superfood, highly sustainable, really easy to grow. So, first thing I want to talk about is the shooting death. This is the speaking point, so I don't know I had it on pause. I had already wrapped up with the health and wellness tip of the health benefits of watercress. So, basically that was like a superfood, so I want to get you some watercress in your diet if you haven't done so. Next up, I want to talk about the health. My next section is the speaking point section. This section, what I'm talking about is just, you know, current issues, things happening around the world. If I'm repeating myself in my bag because I had paused recording because I was reaching for something. But in this section, what I'm doing is I'm basically just covering random events, whether it's globally or locally, or just something that happened in our community. And the purpose of me doing that is basically to cover it from our perspective because the media will just have us looking and sounding all kind of crazy. So, when I'm covering current events, I'm controlling the narrative. So, I'm just unpacking whatever's going on in the world from our perspective. The first topic I wanted to talk about was the Trump shooting. A whole lot of the internet is saying, you know, it was staged. And I'm kind of on the fence. I'm 50/50 with it because I don't understand what he would. What type of, you know, what it was like in it for him. I know there's been people that have staged their own death, but I mean, he's currently going through legalities. I don't see what's in it for him to be like faking being shot. Yeah, I mean, he's a president here in the gangster rapper. So, third generation rich kid. I don't see it. That's just me. I'm not, like I said, I'm not just 110. It's not out of the realm of possibility that he was. But I'm just, I'm not seeing where the dots is connecting, like what's in it for him, like. I don't think nobody's bad attention hungry to fake being hurt. Because like a lot of people don't like it. There's even people in the Republican parties, on Republican party, who don't like it. As well as the Democrats. So, that's the possibility that somebody could have, you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't really, I just personally don't think he would fake it. I don't think they would go through all that trouble to fake him being shot because you have to have to rehearse it. Why take all that time to rehearse it? You got to rehearse it. You have to put the little blood pack in. Because you got to make it look real. If his fake got to make it look real, the only way to make it look real is if you practice it. So why would he take all that time to practice being shot? And then there was a superficial wound. It was his ear load. So, I don't know. It could have been real. It could have not been real. I'm kind of 50-50 on it. But, you know, my dad, I don't think he was staged. It's just, it's too labor-intensive. Alright, so the next thing I want to talk about is the unaliving of a brother. They got strangled by some hotel security on June 30th. So he was strangled by a hotel security in Milwaukee. This happened at the Hyatt Regency. So, there was basically, with the textbook story, he was causing a commotion. And they was trying to escort him, air quotes, escort him out. But he wasn't worn peacefully. And so, they basically dog piled him and, you know, choked him out. So this whole thing is giving me Eric Garner vibes. So his attorney's a bin crump. He's on it. So, you know, he just... We all have somewhere we're trying to get to. As the largest energy producer in Colorado, Chevron is helping meet rising demand. And we're working to do it responsibly. Our next-gen, tankless facilities reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of our operations by more than 90% compared to our older designs. Working to provide Colorado with energy that's affordable, reliable, and ever cleaner. So everyone can get to where they want to be. You've arrived. That's Energy in Progress.

AGW Group, foreign word prohibited by law, 18-plus terms and conditions apply. This will behave, but just the fact that there have to have an investigation when it was caught on camera. And then, of course, the hotel denies any involvement in it. They're not a part of it. It's not their policy. Yadda, yadda, yadda. They said they fired the guys, but they're still roaming free, and he's not here. And the thing that bothers me is because their hotel security, they're not even real police. You're never supposed to engage a guest. You're supposed to ask them to leave if they don't leave car to police. What was you doing trying to put your hands on them anyway? It's just kind of funny. I think I just talked about this. My other day on my week-day episode, upload of the narrative podcast. This is something that happened in the media a while back because of another brother. He didn't die, though, but the brother had applied to the hotel. What is it with these luxury brand hotels on us, like they don't want us there? He had applied to get a job there, and he had to fake his whole identity to get the job. He got a lawsuit going on now, but it's the same premise. It's like they don't want us there at the so-called high-end luxury hotels. Now, not saying you shouldn't aspire to want to. Everybody wants to experience the five-star treatment at some point. You want to go to an exclusive restaurant. You want to go to an exclusive getaway or a vacay. Keyword exclusive. You want to feel like you're living fancy. You're getting preferential treatment, but at what price if they don't want you there? Then again, just only using this as an example, not talking about the brother a while ago. It was about six, seven months ago or something like that, maybe even last year, maybe even a year or two ago. I don't know. It was a while ago, but Jim Jones was in the Louis Vuitton, and there wasn't servicing him correctly. That this luxury establishment is just kind of disturbing to me that we place such high value on these brands. We make the brand popular, and then they don't want us to participate to patronize said brand. Whether it's retail, something you wear, whether it's a restaurant or a service such as an airplane. It could be like first class. We got instances with that, you know, on first class, and they're trying to give you the bonus rush off of first class. Ships, you know, cruise ships. You name it. All these ear quotes, luxury brands don't want anything to do with us. They don't want to like, you know, they're telling us that we're not our money's no good here. But yet we're just so caught up with trying to be around that element. Now, I'm not saying I don't know why this brother would check into that hotel. You know, the whole premise of his individual situation that caused him to not be here anymore. I'm just saying, like, as a people, our excessive need to, like, be in spaces that we're not welcome. Running to spend our dollar on people that don't value our lives. We don't care about this one, we're other. Just to say, I own, you know, designer. Just to say, I have enough to buy this foreign car that's not available in the United States. Like, we want to do all these extremes and they don't want us, they don't value us. They don't want us to have it. But then we cry about, you know, the un, you know, equal opportunity in the community. When we could be using that money to spend with them folks that don't want us around them or, you know, they don't want us to have them products to invest it in ourselves. To create our own luxury brands. You know, build our own hotels, our own luxury brand hotels. Our own cruise ships, our own airplanes, our own private jets. So like I said, that was just an out loud thought, I don't think that was the case here. As far as, you know, why the security guards did what they did. I'm just saying I was just making a social point. Because I was just, I don't, I'm just baffled why we want to be in spaces that, you know, clearly, they don't want us in. I think this is a situation where he already had paid his money. And they was trying to give him the bum's rush and he wasn't having none of it. And they, you know, they deal with what they did. I'm just wondering why it keeps happening over and over and over and over and over again. Like how many more deaths is what it takes for us to get our own and separate from these people and stop giving these people our money. And take that power away from like what is this like strange hold these European fashion designers got over us. What is this strange hold these so-called luxury hotels got over us that we just, we don't feel important if we're not in one and in. We don't feel important if we don't got that design or we don't feel important if we don't got that form with. But, you know, it's just the same scenario that just keeps playing out for us. They don't want us there. They don't want us in their hotels. They don't want us in their five-star Michelin-starred restaurants. And then we get butt hurt when they tell us to leave or that, you know, your money's no good here. I know how it should be. You know, we should be able to all sit down at the proverbial table of brotherhood and just look at each other like as just individuals. Not as like a black man or a white man or an Asian man or this or that, but it's not like that. We're not so pessimistic to saying, you know, one day we won't all be on one accord, but for right now we have to address the right now and move and act accordingly to the times that we're in now. So, yeah, that's like all I want to say about that. I don't really have too much more insight for that particular case. Brett's name is, you know, Devatay Mitchell. So, you know, check your socials if they got doing go from me, you know, make a contribution, you know, utilize your social media platforms to, you know, keep that in rotation to keep his, you know, depth and rotation until he gets the retribution he deserves, and then also I want to backtrack. I just talked about this brother from my yesterday upload, the narrative podcast, Robert Fortson, you know, keep that heavy on your social media because like, you know, as like Brianna Taylor campaign, say her name, say these brothers names, keep on, you know, blowing up your social media until they get the retribution that they deserve, because, you know, if we stop talking about it for a second, it is just, you know, it'll get swept under the road, especially with everything we got going on. So, that's all I want to say. All right, so now we're at the last leg of it today. On this full episode of the narrative podcast, weekend edition, this is my wise word of the day. Formally, final thought of the day, I just start calling the wise word of the day because it just, it makes more sense to me. So, the wise word of the days, the wise word of the days, just something, have you think critically, a jam, a pearl of wisdom, something you can just write something that resonate with you. And you can apply to life, but if you can't, you know, if you can't apply, then let it fly because the message wasn't for you, obviously. You know, why is word of the day? Why is word of the day is like And then more to it, more to it, gracious meaning, win in grace. You know, we are often complaining about the poor loser, the sorry loser, but there's a lot of sorry winners, you winning, got everything wrong for you, but you're still complaining. You know, don't be the only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore winner. Don't be a sore winner. And the way you can be a sore winner is, you know, rubbing it, running your, rubbing your win in somebody else's face, not being but appreciative. For winning, you know, it ain't good enough where you're like, you know, you accomplished your goal, whatever it is, you set out to do, you did it. And then it still ain't good enough for you. I mean, there's always room for improvement, of course, we can always do something better. But then not even celebrate your own success, like that's a poor winner. Glutton, like I just said, just, you know, rubbing your success and other people's face. That's a poor winner. I mean, I guess that is glutton though, but just like being to the point where people can't stand to be around you because you're just so obnoxious with it. That's a poor winner. You definitely don't want to be a poor winner. You shouldn't hide your successes. You should never be ashamed of being good at something, having something, being something in life, but at the same time, be gracious, be a good winner. Look good winning. It's what you want to do, what your win is inspire others to win. You don't want to, you know, tear people down, you want to inspire other people to win like you're winning. Well, that's it and that's all this concludes this episode of the narrative podcast. Full edition, weekend edition.
