A few days ago, as we were taking a stroll around our neighbourhood square, Father began to talk about going into hiding. He sounded so serious that I felt scared. Don't you worry, we'll take care of everything. Just enjoy your carefree life while you can.


So I know what you're all wondering.  Well, thank you for asking first and foremost. It was amazing because I've binge watched all of Stranger Things season three with my beautiful girlfriend Tristan and my awesome little boy. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, what I try to do is typically I pull different topics from the YouTube community. But I also like to pull topics from movies, TV shows and things like that to see what lessons we can learn from them to improve our own mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And if you're new here, I also write books and my brand new book Rewire Your Anxiety is out now. So check down in the description and the link below. I got a sale going on because I just launched it and it's running until Sunday. So get yourself a copy. You'll get another free copy of one of my books as well. All right. So yeah, anyways, for those of you who clicked on this video and you didn't know, like this is going to be filled with spoilers. All right. And by the way, let me know down in the comments below, like I want to do character breakdowns because each character kind of had their own little storyline throughout this season. And they all kind of grew and evolved, especially since, you know, the kids are turning into teenagers and stuff like that. And there's a lot of life lessons there. So in this video, obviously I'm going to be focusing on Hopper, my man. But like, if you want me to talk about different ones, like I want to talk about the relationship between like Mike and L, as well as the friend group as a whole and some other different really interesting topics. So if that's something I'm interested in, let me know. Let me know down in the comments below. All right. Or if you like this video, that's a good indicator as well. All right. So yeah, spoilers ahead. First thing, I just want to talk a little bit. I'm still, I'm still recovering from Hopper. What happened? Okay. Can I just talk real quick? Just me and you. I don't think he's gone. I don't think he's gone. So did you guys realize like there was an in credit scene? I was like, I wonder if there's an in credit scene. And there was. I don't think they did that in previous seasons. But let me know if they did and I'm wrong. But anyways, like they mentioned like some Americans. I'm like, okay, because I like Hopper is like the man in this show, right? Like the kids are cool. The kids are cute, but Hopper does work. Hopper was a straight up gangster throughout the season, right? Like, well, not that's the season, but the whole show. Like remember when he whooped up the mayor? But anyway, so I am hoping he like somehow went through that portal at the end. He's like chilling the upside down, or maybe he like ported over to Russia or whatever. If you have any theories about how Hopper might still be alive, let me know down in the comments. Maybe it'll help me sleep at night. You know what I mean? But anyways, yeah, I want to talk about his speech. Okay. And there's so many different ways I could talk about this. But anyways, let's summarize it real quick. So Mike and L, you know, the relationships getting, you know, serious or whatever it is, as serious as it could be for some young kids, right?  So he is going to give this little speech and like talk to them like adults and set up boundaries. So real quick, by the way, on that note, I do agree. Like that is one of the best ways to talk to young people, right? We have to treat them like they're human beings, like something I hated more than anything.  So we do have to talk to them like, like they're adults, right? Like kids, especially teenagers, like they get things, right? But anyways, I do kind of dig how like Hopper improvised and he gave Mike that stern talk in the truck, like, let me tell you, let me tell you, I had a girlfriend in high school where I got one of those talks and oh my God, all right. And I think it's good. I think it's good too, because like Mike was being like a little disrespectful like SOB. Like did you see the way he was cussing at Hopper? Like Mike is lucky that Hopper didn't put hands on him. All right. But anyways, at the end, they find Hopper's letter and El reads it.  So I actually wrote down the one part of the speech that I wanted to focus on. All right. So Hopper says, make mistakes and learn from them. And when life hurts you because it will, remember the hurt. The hurt is good. It means you're out of that cave. Oh, preach Hopper, preach. So I can relate a ton to Hopper. And if you've been following my channel, what I keep trying to teach all of you is that we need to find the similarities and not the differences. All right. So my experience is much different than Hopper's. But I understand that feeling. So in Hopper's case, we find out in season one that he had a daughter and his daughter passed away. Right. And Hopper became this like guy and he was like abusing drugs and alcohol and he was closed off to the rest of the world. But the then he ends up taking in 11. Right. And what he's trying to explain to her is, is that he loves her like a daughter and he worries for her and everything like that. But it came with taking down those walls that he built up. Right. But he said that hurt is good because it shows that he's no longer numbing himself and not feeling anything. See, so many of us, so many of us, we just don't want to feel emotions. But like we have to. And that's the thing. Like I forgot where the quote came from. Maybe it might have been Gandhi or whatever it is. But we need to experience pain in order to experience joy. Because if not, what would we have to gauge it against? Right. So like that's just part of the human experience is that the good and the bad, like it's a package deal, baby. Like one of the delusions, the irrational beliefs that we have is that everything should always be good. No, we're going to have bad times. But you know what, when you're having an amazing day, like that's how you gauge. You're like, Whoa, this day is way better than that day. Right. So in Hopper's case, his days spending those with, you know, 11 and like, you know, he talks about like those ego stacks and things like that that they made. And, you know, all those things like that's way better than the days when he was grieving the loss of his daughter. Right. So the way I can relate to that is I had a lot of emotions that I didn't want to deal with my entire life. Right. I had anxiety and depression that started to develop when I was about the kids age in stranger things. Right. And I was so angry at everybody and everything. I hated everybody. I hated myself and all these things. And that's when I turned to substances. So those of you who don't know me, I just celebrated seven years, no alcohol, no drugs, just 100% clean and sober baby. But anyways, for almost a decade, I was trying to numb myself. I didn't, I just didn't want to feel anything. And the first time, the first time I got drunk, I was like, Oh my God, like I don't care about anything. I don't feel anything. And that's what I craved. That's what I wanted. Right. And I remember when I first got sober, like all of my emotions came back because I had been numbing myself for so long. It's like the way I kind of explained it is it felt like somebody just like ripped my soul out of my body. I had no emotions. I was no longer angry or depressed, but I was never happy or sad. It was like I was just like this zombie just kind of going through the motions of life. And when I got sober, I got, I got hit with all those feelings again. Right. And something that's kind of common for people in early recovery is we cry. We cry all the time.   Like I remember I was watching like a commercial. It was like for car insurance, but it showed a family and I was like 30 days sober. And I'm just like, Oh my God, it's so, it's so beautiful. And like, and I learned to love crying because I had suppressed my feelings and emotions for so long. And today, and it's taken a lot of work to get to this place, but because I no longer try to run away from my emotions, I have better days than I've ever had in my life because I take in the good and the bad, you know what I mean? And what Hopper is teaching L is that something that we should all be teaching our kids, right? Like setting our kids up to believe that life is just forever going to be like all unicorns and rainbows and lollipops. That is setting them up for failure, right? Like I have a 10 year old son, we binge watched Stranger Things together today, right? And I've taught him since he was younger to work on his mental health and to embrace those feelings. And all of those feelings, they are there to teach us a lesson, right? They are there to guide us in the future. And something that I've really been talking about a lot lately is when we're going through something like today, if you're watching this video and you're having a bad day, just remember, you've already been through this before. You've been here, you've been to this place. What did you do, right? Like think about that for a second. We have to look back to those experiences where we've been through that struggle, where we've been through that pain, and we need to not only A, remember what we did to get out of that place, but B, we need to remember how strong and resilient we are, and that we can get through these hard times. And it's because we've been through that hurt.  I'm trying to keep this video marked. But just remember that, like if you've been through that hurt, that pain, that struggle, you have learned, you have grown, and you are stronger than ever, right? But anyways, anyways, let me know if you can relate to this. Like did you keep walls up? Like are you somebody who's had to learn how to take in the good and the bad feelings? Are you somebody who keeps trying to push away all the bad feelings? Let me know. Is that a rational thing to do down in the comments below? But again, like I said, if there's other character breakdowns and story arcs that you want me to discuss, let me know down in the comments below. And before I let you go, don't forget my brand new book, Rewire Your Anxiety, is out now. And part of that book, a huge part of that book is to quit doing your avoidance tactics, all right? And just embracing these things, okay? But that's all I got for this video. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up. If you're new, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I'll make a ton of videos. And I'm making more Stranger Things videos, all right? And a huge, huge thank you to everybody's support and channel over on Patreon. You're all amazing. If you would like to become a patron and support what I'm doing here and get access to some of the perks and benefits, click the tap on that icon right there, all right? Thanks again so, so much for watching. I'll see you next time.


This is the SF Productions Podcast Network. The following program was videotaped in front of a live studio audience. From the Pop Culture Bunker, I'm Mindy. And I'm Mark. You can check out our audio podcast, How I Got My Wife to Read Comics on iTunes, or on our website SFPodcastNetwork.com. Now, we recently did an episode covering the history of audio recording, so why not video? When television first came along, there were two options, broadcast a film by pointing a TV camera at a film screen or broadcast live, with no way to record the event. The first method of recording video was essentially the opposite of broadcasting a film. By pointing a film camera at a TV screen, the resulting film was called a kinescope, and virtually all TV shows prior to 1956 that you see today, those that weren't on film in the first place, survive due to this method. Experimental kinescopes were made alongside the first experimental broadcasts in the early 30s, and followed along as TV became a commercial medium. Kinescopes were vital in the early days, as there was no national TV broadcast in the U.S. Each TV network had subnetworks in the East, Midwest, and West, partially producing their own programming, but if you wanted to get a show across the country, you made a kinescope and you sent it out. Technology would later create true national networks, and kinescopes became less vital, but not less profitable. Early syndication of shows that were originally live still required them. The Dumont TV network created the electronic cam, a camera that would capture video and record a film version simultaneously. The classic 39 episode of the Honeymooners can be seen today because of this. Watch for electronic cam mentioned in the credits. All of this was very workable, but very bulky, and complicated. So electronic methods of video recording were also underway. RCA created the Simplex, a less ironic name could not be found apparently, which used magnetic tape running at 360 inches a second, with color possible by recording each of the major colors, red, green and blue, on separate tracks. Oh, and did I forget to mention it could only record a few minutes at a time? The BBC experimented with what they called Vera, which used up to 200 inches a second. Being Crosby's production company, they brought the world up practical method of audio tape recording, see episode 192, modified their Ampex system to record video again using up to 360 inches a second. It took a different view to make video recording practical, and it came from Ampex. In 1956, they introduced a recorder using two inch wide tape, which scanned the tape across the width by moving the tape head back and forth. The VR-1000 cost $45,000 at the time, or $415,000 today, and was the size of a dishwasher. Also, the tape had to be played back on the same unit that recorded it. Despite these restrictions, the networks snapped them up. They were first used to videotape shows produced on the East Coast to avoid recreating them three hours later for the West Coast. NBC's audience participation show Truth or Consequences was the first regular series to be broadcast in all time zones from videotape in 1957. Evidence of the oldest videotape in existence can be seen on YouTube, a TV spectacular starring Bing Crosby, there he is again, along with Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, and Louis Armstrong brought together to introduce the Ed Soul. It was produced in Hollywood and broadcast to all time zones live except for the West Coast, which saw it on tape. An archeological effort found that the tape was being used as a paperweight by a CBS engineer and then they restored it. The first color video recording in existence involved a local TV station, Washington's WRC, which introduced their color broadcasts with a speech from President Eisenhower. Why was finding an old videotape so rare? Because tapes were expensive and the entertainment industry, always looking forward to the future, assumed no one would ever want to see the shows again, so they taped over them. This is why the first ten years of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show are gone, as well as most 60's game shows. Now there are myriad stories about tapes being thrown out which could have made media companies millions today. Professional videotape would shrink down to a one inch width over time. Then another major update, the videocassette. Until this point, all videotapes were on open reels which were difficult to use and maintain. BAM! Sony introduced a three-quarter tape in cassette form called the U-Matic, based on how the tape was fed across the tape head in a U-shape. It quickly took over the industry and was widely used into the 90's. This is one we used for the public access show I did, check out Fast Wasteland from the Vault, on SFPPN. U-Matic units were the first to be sold officially to the consumer market in 1971, but it never caught on. You could get open real formats before that but you had to know someone in Japan that would ship them to you. Philip introduced the VCR format using a squarish cassette a year later, not that yet. It was successful in Europe, but never marketed in the U.S. It would take Sony and Betamax to make it in America. The half-inch tape cassette would introduce the concept of time-shifting. Keep in mind that until that point, if you wanted to watch a show, you had to be in front of a TV set when it was broadcast. The first recorder sold in the U.S. was part of a huge TV VCR cabinet. A friend of my dad had one and I was entranced. JVC would introduce the similar VHS format a year later and a format were waged until the mid-80s when the VHS finally won. Why? Some refer to the theory that all great leaps in technology take advantage of one thing to kick things off, porn. There was a rumor that Sony wouldn't allow porn on beta, so that's why VHS won. Well, that's technically true. Sony wouldn't allow mass production of porn with their equipment, but that wasn't it. It came down to two things, cost and recording time. JVC's design of VHS used less expensive and less complex components so that their recorders cost less than beta, with a corresponding loss in quality, although both sides would up that game over time. Then VHS was able to create a longer recording time, partly due to a slightly larger cassette case, which allowed a single tape to record a week of hour-long shows, like The Soaps. Beta, at least at the beginning, couldn't match that. All of this pushed things in VHS's direction and when video rental stores began popping up, they didn't want to duplicate their stock and side it mostly with VHS. VHS ruled the roost for years, weathering an attack by two other formats, neither of which used tape. Methods to record video to a disc go back to the 1890s, photographs could be projected from a glass disc and various experimental formats can be found until the 70s. In 1978, the DiscoVision, an appropriate name for the time, was introduced by MCA and Philips. It would eventually be named Laserdisc and used an optical or reflective process to read digital data encoded on a silver disc with a laser. For a period of time, this became the connoisseur's video choice as it provided high quality, for the time, video and various audio options. Of course, I jumped into this market and bought quite a few discs, mostly at a deep discount as the format faded. There were many offshoots of this format for industrial and educational use. Meanwhile, RCA introduced SelectraVision in 1981. It also used a disc which was sheathed inside a cartridge similar to 3.5 inch floppy discs. It used a physical stylus to read the analog data off the disc similar to an audio album. While this was less expensive, the quality of video wasn't great plus physical scratches on the disc resulted in draft frames. Now, I remember watching the Wizard of Oz at a friend's house seeing them go down the Yellowbrick Road in a jerky manner. While SelectraVision was never a huge hit, it was responsible for one of the first cable TV channels. RCA was marketing the format as a way to sell music in a new way as music videos which they produced for their artists and sold as discs. As it all fell apart, RCA wanted to recoup their losses so they sold those videos to Viacom who created MTV to show them. The first few months of that channel mostly involved showing music videos previously on SelectraVision. There were also miniaturized tape formats primarily designed for camcorders such as Sony's 8mm and JVC's VHS-C. There was an attempt to branch these out into commercial tapes but it didn't go anywhere. VHS finally was supplanted by the DVD, Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc, depending on who you ask. Essentially, a smaller and better designed offshoot of a laser disc and a compact disc, DVD was the result of a compromise among the electronic companies who wanted to avoid another format war. Its ease of use and storage made it the format of choice by the 2000s. DVD also introduced regional control so that media companies could theoretically control where a particular title could be sold and used, although hardware companies created some workarounds. When it was time to upgrade from DVD, another format war raged, HD DVD versus Blu-ray starting in 2006. It would take two years for the HD DVD to hit the canvas. Blu-ray was designed for the high depth screens being sold as part of the digital conversion and had less complicated regional restrictions. And now we have 4K Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, just in time for physical video media to become obsolete. Video cameras now record to hard drive or memory chip like ours and most viewing of video is being done via streaming. But there's still something about having physical media in your hands. No media behemoth can decide to move it elsewhere or remove it altogether. Digital extras are available. Yeah, I'm justifying my large media collection, so what? So, while I keep trying to argue in getting rid of some of the huge media collection, you can check out our audio podcast, How I Got My Wife to Read Comics, on iTunes or on our website sfpodcastnetwork.com. From the Pop Culture Bunker, I'm Mindy. And I'm Mark. Thanks for watching.


I'm just documenting what I'm doing right and so If you've been following me since 2016, I've been building a social media agency just mastering the art of reaching out to people reaching out to business owners finding them on social media Offering them services and just providing a tremendous amount of value, right building a business Finding a niche Focusing on that niche going all in on that niche trying to master and continue to learn about that niche I've been doing that since 2016 all through the DM all through social media marketing Literally literally hundreds of clients later I Have somewhat perfected it have some have I've somewhat mastered it. I've somewhat somewhat Got good at what the hell I do now that was just the beginning. That's just that's just how I started man Now now as I learned more about paid traffic Facebook ads YouTube ads Instagram ads as I really understand the power of paid advertising For myself for my personal business now now I started Direct messaging and then offering them services. So again, I got really good at that. So therefore I Never ran a Facebook ad for myself to find a client because I just didn't need to I was direct messaging I was getting people on the phone the next day.  If we don't have much, you know Funds and money to go out there and advertise as a normal business would and should Us entrepreneurs man. A lot of times. We're solopreneurs is just us. We're starting from home It's like do the beauty of being able to build a business today laptop Wi-Fi connection and myself That's literally all I need man Wi-Fi my laptop and my cell phone and we can go out there and spread a message and build a business So it's absolutely crazy today But my point is is that The beginning is is is is the most important because not all of us have a huge budget at that in the beginning of Stardom your your entrepreneurship or your side hustle or whatever the heck you want to call it your business, right? So these were these were strategies that I that I love to teach about man These were strategies that I started with their strategies I love to teach about and they're and they're and they're super super effective So shout out to my boy shin if you've been following me again man since 2016 That's what I've been doing in the trenches mastering what I'm doing, right? laptop Wi-Fi connection and And and and built a built a huge business man So I'm fired up and I'm fired up when when when you guys comment and let me know what's on your mind So shout out to Shin man. He put great value. Thank you I've been implementing this strategy for a week now and usually got five types of responses. This is perfect, man This is exactly exactly what it is man, and I'm telling you on my personal Facebook page. I'm at 5,000 So so in 2016 Into 2017 into 2017 I'm like dude and and and I only had I don't know how many subs at how many friends on Facebook I first perfected this on Facebook then went over to Instagram and LinkedIn and Twitter Those are the four platforms at the direct messaging strategy works with I started on Facebook and so with Facebook on your personal page. You can have 5,000 friends, right? So I've been on Facebook for a minute and so my Facebook friends a ton of them were family Real friends, you know people that I actually went to school with you know I mean people that I grew up in my neighborhood with real people that I know Right that used to consist of my Facebook personal page from 20 20 20 20 20 19 and and and prior so prior to 2019 Because I didn't think of this into really mid 2019 where I'm like, dude I'm almost at 5,000 friends because in 2016 I just started requesting a ton requesting a ton requesting a ton on My way to 5,000 friends that took me a while to request that many people right and then in 2019 I had like a like a few hundred people. I was like at 4,700. Let's say I was at 4,700 I needed 5,000 so there's 300 people there needed right But majority of all those 300 were people that I actually know cousins aunts uncles friends wife's friends like People that I actually went to school with like real real people that I knew which was about a few hundred right out of my whole 5,000 because to keep it real like you guys don't have thousands of friends. No, you don't You have a handful of friends, man.  Okay, I get it But still at the end of the day, man on your thousands of friends on social media It's really just a few hundred that are people that you actually know if that Me it was like 200 it was like 200 people that I actually really still stayed in touch with that I knew and they were friends with me on Facebook. Okay, so Towards the middle of 2019. I'm like wait a minute. These people ain't really serving me any purpose I don't really even need them on this Facebook. I want to shift them all to my Instagram I could have did it to Twitter. I could have shifted them all to Twitter I could have shifted but but they all have Instagram. So I knew that if you have Facebook, you probably have Instagram So I only stayed in touch with these people people that I really knew my friends my family on Facebook But I also knew they had an Instagram. So I said Jason. Hey, man, I'm closing out this account. I need it for business I'm moving all my real friends to my Instagram and that's what I did man So to tell you the truth you guys I just started this Instagram not too long ago You guys can all follow me here Follow me on IG but to tell you the truth, man Here's what I did the 200 followers majority of those 200 are literally all my real friends Because I took them off of my Facebook page and I said hey, man Don't follow me here on Facebook anymore. I need you to follow me on my Instagram So these 200 people that are actually following and then I'm following the one fifth Let's call it 158 the 158 the 158 that I'm That I'm following are people that I actually know so I just moved them all over here, man And I freed up my 5,000 over here and and and then and then and then I and then I Hmm and then I and then I got to 5,000 5,000 all in the same niche. So it's so crazy man because Shin is experiencing down. I got a ready. No, sorry guys Shin is experiencing the reply the yeah the the replies when you send out a message and they reply, right? Shin is starting to get get get those replies And so it's so crazy because at once you follow thousands of people all in the all in the same niche It's this right here. These replies used to blow my mind And they still do but I'm already used to it because I'm already a few years in so I already yeah I already know the replies. It's always the same replies dude. Here's what happened. This is perfect Shin So shout out to Shin This is I this is perfect You're gonna send out messages and You on Facebook you can tell they seen it right?  They don't reply they see it, but they never reply. That's one percentage So a handful of percentage of people are gonna see it But not say anything and not even reply and not ever a comment or not and they're just dead, right? But they're there their friends or on your Facebook. They just never they never reply. I have Sometimes I keep those people around like let's say for example as I'm prospecting as I'm going throughout my day as I'm working as I'm messaging I Come across those ones, right because I'm always in the DM. I'm always following up with people I'm always sending them another message a follow-up message And and so I'm always seeing these ones in my in my in my direct messages, right? and so if it's been let's just say if it's been if it's been more than more than let's say more than Six months if there was no engagement whatsoever all in front of them.  I'm not gonna check up on them all the time. I don't check to see who checks their messages I don't care. I'm messaging so many people. I already know the replies that are gonna come back I already know the next copy and paste that I'm gonna have to send I already know that X amount are gonna see it and not reply I already know all that so I'm not even and it's all the same messaging.  I'm not talking about the weather. I'm not asking. Hey, how are you doing? I'm not asking any of that stuff dude these few messages that get a person on the phone with me are literally literally the same and literally just a few It's just a few messages, man from the moment I message you to your reply now that reply could could take a couple months Shit, let's keep it real. It's not a boom boom boom boom You got to play around. That's what work in your leads are but I don't keep messaging someone.  I'll do it a couple times and if that if they never reply then Then I unfriend them that I unfriend them if they're not replying after a few messages And they're just not replying I unfriend them and that's how my 5000 I'm always keeping it fresh that 5000 friend list. You're always keeping it fresh You're not keeping dead weight on that friend list, okay But at the same time it's going to take you a while to get to 5000 It took me it took me a couple years It took me a couple years to request and an unfriend and clean out and unfriend my cousin unfriend my aunt Unfriend my uncle and say hey man. Go follow me on instagram That took some time, but again, this is my full-time job. This is my full-time business This is what I do. This is the strategy the strategy when I got my thing up and going was to hit the dm And and and because I come from from from the lead game I was a telemarketer forever. I've been in cells forever. I worked leads forever. I purchased leads forever I know how to work leads. I ran a call center. I owned a call center I've been around leads for the past 20 years right everything is about a lead And so and so I treat my direct messaging. I I treat my my messages I treat that the same man. That's my list. Don't mess with my direct mark. Don't don't mess with my direct messaging list, right?   You've got a database You've got a list of people that you call that you contact that you reach out You've got a text freaking group that you're sending out promotions or whatever the heck however the heck you're building your business, man My list is my dm My list is my facebook friend list So that friend list and that dm I take care of right? I clean out. I maintain And the ones that see it But but just never reply for months and months and months and then I send them another message and and To follow up maybe say hey stacey. Just wanted to see if you you know got any Well, well, I don't want to let I'll explain that as we go the next steps I don't want to get ahead of myself, but um to answer number one to answer number one You're gonna have those that's a small percentage and that's totally fine. Totally fine. Who cares don't don't micro manage that Who cares? It doesn't even matter, okay We're looking for the ones that reply and we're looking for the ones that reply pretty sooner than later, you know The fired up ones are gonna reply right away the fired up ones. They're gonna reply soon They're gonna reply within within the hour or they'll reply within a few minutes. They'll reply Um, and I'll tell you what what to expect on that one, but number two. Thanks Great to connect to have a good day. Good day. Perfect that right there is good now the algorithm opened up They replied this type of stuff is important man people that are that are commenting on your stuff people that are liking your stuff People that you're commenting on your liking people that are opening up your messages All that feeds into the favor of the algorithm And no matter what platform it is So just the fact that they they opened the email the fact that they seen it the fact that they replied Thanks, great to connect to have a good day. Perfect. And I'll leave it at that man. I'll leave it at that I I'll leave it at that And I'll just I'll just let that ride for for for a while and then I'll get back to that part and then number three My social media is set already Okay, here's the thing about this man.   You're closing deals. Okay Everyone's a salesman. We're all salesmen man. Have pride. It's all good. I love it but When it comes down to your services, okay, everyone's services is different My services are different your services are different everyone We're all saying that we're doing the same stuff, but we all have a different approach Whether it's your process whether it's the steps whether it's the strategies whether it's the onboarding whether it's now now It could all be the same thing.  You're bringing on a client to manage their social media Okay, what does that consist of facebook instagram linkedin pinterest twitter, right? You're bringing on a client to manage their seo or to run google ads for them Whatever the heck you're doing then you have a process you have a certain way of doing it and it is what it is, right? um In my particular case I have a handful of steps like I call it the five steps five steps to implement on social media To capture more leads and build your personal brand fast That right there is a book that I put together a digital book 50 pages wrote it put it together pdf Give it to my I I that's what I use as bait for my social media You know agency and I and I capture leads with it and you know drive traffic to it and freaking that's what I do, right? um But I have the I have these five steps I have these five steps that I that I that I truly believe That 99 percent of businesses miss when it comes to social media marketing and facebook advertising And so these are simple five steps. These are five steps that we all know like we all know these five steps like link customization your page likes on your facebook page Freakin the right way to run facebook ads and take over your local area And and and making sure that you drive it to a landing page Making sure that you're capturing that lead and putting that lead into some type of auto responder Whether it's an email auto responder, whether it's a messenger bot Whether it's a text freaking auto automated Messages that go out it don't matter whatever You got to understand man that when it comes to the internet forget about just social media when it comes to the internet Social media is the internet the internet is social media like the internet when it comes to the internet The strategy has never changed. It's always been the same Take someone to a freaking landing page look Let's go to Take someone to a simple landing page This is this this has never changed man. This has never changed. You can call it landing pages today and Now there's you know tons of hype around, you know landing pages Whether it's a landing page if we want to call it that or whether it's a website It's the internet The strategy has never changed.  Okay That right there.  I don't care if you're freaking gary v and posting 37 You know thousand pieces of content a day on social media You're not going to get there you're not going to get the organically like you're just not you have to run paid traffic If you're a marketer you have to be either doing this crap for yourself or doing it for other clients running paid traffic But my point is is that the person who can spend the most Can get the most amount of people to this page to opt in That right there Is the name of the game and so where we're at today with the internet with social media Specifically is that these small business owners know the importance of it. They just don't know how to do it They don't know how to drive the click to this simple page To capture a lead for them to get them a scheduled appointment for a teeth whitening in their dentist To get them an appointment for some freaking spinal freaking massage cracking because they're a chiropractor Or to get someone through their door because they're a restaurant and they have some amazing lunch Specials going on and they want to promote it to the whole local area and they live here in san diego Their businesses here in san diego and they want to hand out coupons, but they don't want to do it the old school way radio ad tv commercial flyers They don't want to do it the traditional way they want to do it on social media They want to run facebook ads. They want to run instagram ads They want to run a youtube ad and i'm here to tell you when anyone clicks on that ad on social media They're coming to this one page So when you can offer this you guys i'm telling you man that that's what it's all about That's what it's all about the person that can get good at driving traffic to a page to give give people the opportunity to opt in To what you're talking about and and request more information because they're fired up and they're interested Um, in fact, you know what then that's that's the person that wins So what i'm saying is that you need to know your services when I get this reply when I get this reply, okay? I go look at their social media and I'm telling you man. I'm telling you. I'm telling you Again, this is only because I have specific services. I have a handful of services Just like you walk into any restaurant and there's a menu There's not unless it's the same franchise, but there's not one restaurant Unless it's the same franchise There's not one single restaurant that you can walk into See a menu Walk out go to another restaurant and see the same menu That does not even exist anywhere in any place on the entire planet unless it's a franchise You walk into McDonald's.  Like that's on the menu So we all have a different menu man. We're all our own individual restaurants We all have our own menu and the menu are the services that you're providing So in my case when when they tell me that because I'll get that reply every now and then but a small percentage man Small percentage is number one super small percentage is number three A small percentage is is even number two Because they're either not going to reply, which is number one Or they do reply and that's number two and that that's exactly what they'll say man Thanks. Great to connect to you know, have a good day. That's exactly what they'll say and I just let them marinate I let number number two. I let them marinate. I let them just chill for a while I don't hit them up right now and it's all good. We're friends. We're friends on Facebook We're just friends and then number three my social media server ready again I look at their I look at their platforms and 100 percent of the time They're missing all my steps So shin you want to get really good at your steps and whatever your steps are are The pain points of that niche So you have to break down that niche and find out Okay, what do they want?  That is it. That is it. That is it. That is it So when you can break it down and and put it in an elementary type of Perspective and say hey man, all we got to do is run traffic get them to a lead form Get them to download something that you're offering for free and we get them on a list When you can explain that and really execute on that to any business owner, they will freaking pay you and so What i'm saying is that businesses on social media very very few capture leads very very few capture leads They may see they may have some type of following on social media They may have a ton of people following them on instagram a few thousand people following them on instagram But i'm telling you man, that's all organic and you cannot rely on just organic You got to build it. That's why i'm over here building a youtube channel getting my face out, right?  So it's like dude at the end of it. It's going to be paid traffic Driving them to a landing page something simple like this one and capturing the lead I'm telling you man businesses do not know how to do that And and and i'm telling you from a marketers perspective That's simple. That is super super simple, man. So it's like I do all of my of my Landing pages and my email automation. I do all that through kartra So there's a 14 day trial link is in the description Profit with kartra dot online. You're gonna need it man. You're gonna need it You're they're gonna be putting landing pages like this together for yourself Or you're gonna be putting landing pages like this together for clients, okay And and and you don't want the client necessarily right away to have to go pay $99 a month for a kartra system for example for a landing page software For example, you don't want to pitch that to them the first month the first month you do it out of your Here is what I do the first month all build it out of mine I'll build the landing page the email automation because chances are the first month is just a couple campaigns It's not like it's it's an extensive again depend on your menu depend on your services I'm not this is not really a huge part of my services at all But if I do bring them bring them aboard as as a client where I'm building out sales funnels and landing pages Then then the first month I'll use mine. I'll use mine. I'll say hey, man This is software that I pay for it's $99 a month But here's why I use it. I create landing pages and I have my entire email automation set all through it And that's kartra. So profit with kartra dot online Peep that that link in the description you guys set up a fortune day trial and and compare it to what you're currently doing To service your clients This is what I use right? This is what I use so I tell them I say hey, man It's freaking it's it's $99 a month But the first month what I can easily do just to kind of show you that I really am fired up about working with you And and and I can really you know, we can really get out the gates, you know right away on on on this budget I'll just create it out of my out of my account and then and then if if it makes sense And if we're capturing leaves and we're you know crushing it then you you'll want to get your own account You know, um, so that's how I do it, man And then and then when I set up there's their account I do it under my affiliate link So I make a commission every month on that it's 40 percent of So $40 a $40 commission residually every month on their account Um, so that that's a good thing too. So I'll tell them man. I'll I'll look at all this. So so here's what I'm saying shin number three, man Let's get back. Here's what I'm saying is that when I go look at when they tell me that when they reply I'll go look at their account At their facebook their instagram. I'll I'll I'll look at their business page. I'll look at the like account I'll look at the links. I'll look at everything that's set up And I'm telling you man 100 percent are missing everything. That's everything that's on my menu Everything that that is on my menu They're missing And I'm telling you man. This is a chiropractor. This is a dentist. This is a lawyer. This is a real estate agent This is an insurance agent. Excuse me All this copies making me burp This is a plumber, right?  You don't even know what social media means to your business. What are you talking about? Like no, it's not like your your stuff looks like crap, you know, that's that's what I'm thinking in my head Now that's not my reply You know what I mean, but that's definitely what I'm thinking. I'm thinking this guy's crazy Like what he has no idea what his pages are missing and so I'll reply back and I'll say and I'll say something like, you know What makes you think it's ready You know Or what what makes you think it's set That that could be a simple a simple question a simple reply and that's going to obviously open up dialogue But really not much because all they're going to do is they're going to answer that question They're going to reply back And then and then whatever they say doesn't even matter and and here's what I tell them I'll reply back and I'll say Are you capturing leads on social media or or I'll say are you capturing local leads on social media? Because chances are they're running a local businessman dentist chiropractor realtor Mortgage loan originator they're And unless unless I mean when I was in mortgages and in the real estate I was dealing nationwide, but I know 99 of them are local So if they're if they're a plumber or a landscaper or any kind of business like that I'll reply back and I'll say Are you capturing local leads from it? It's set your social media set already. Okay, cool. Are you are you capturing local leads? That's a question that I would ask man. And when they reply back That's when it's on they reply back to that one that if if you replied back to that question Are you capturing local leads? They're either going to say yes or no, okay bottom line and even if they kept it that short. Yes or no Okay, cool. They reply back and say yes I reply back and say man great job. Keep doing what you're doing. Have a phenomenal day. You rock That's my reply honestly, sincerely That's my my reply and they appreciate that man. There's no there's no there's no negative talk There's no rebuttal. There's no trying to be me trying to be a closer. No man That's not your prospect. That's not your client. That's not who we are looking for and that's perfectly fine So when I reply back and say hey man, great job. If it ain't broke, don't fix it I'll let that marinate for However long until I come back to it until I come back to it. Okay number four. I'm not interested Awesome.  I don't want to message you either I'm not interested in messaging the wrong people either. Awesome Right when they put back. I'm not interested Now a lot of you sells people out there would be like, well, David, you know any people I closed from someone telling me I'm not interested Yeah, dude, you can go into rebuttal and you can you can you could you can you can message that person for the next freaking 10 messages But that's not my that's not where I put my energy at all like I Have no time to continue to message and and and take on a dialogue and convince And sell you on trying to talk to me on the phone like no no do like this is social media So the the we're friends. Keep in mind man.  I'm not going to say it that way But but but I am going to ask, you know, what makes you think it's set Like are you capturing leads? Are you capturing local leads from it? That's exactly what I would write what makes you think it's set and are you capturing local leads from it And and and whatever they say. So if they say yes, I am great, man. Keep up the phenomenal work You're doing a great job. Don't don't fix what ain't broke And I let it marinate I let it marinate and then and then I'm not interested I could easily reply back and say not interested in what Like I can I can easily say something like that Which which which I don't really I don't do it at all.

Okay I don't care if you're finding them on social media. It doesn't matter. They have a local business. They have a local business. Okay, it's like So so That's what I would do in in the not interested in the not interested um I would just know that that that they're whatever they're telling me they're not interested in it's it's mainly because They're either they they're already doing it and they are genuine where they'll reply back and say man, David I'm capturing so many leads on social media. It's not even funny If that's the case man, I give them their brownie points. I'm telling you man I give them kudos. I say hey man great freaking job High five keep up the phenomenal work. You're doing it. You're you're you're going big You know what I mean like I'll just compliment them in a friendly way and Leave and get off like that's not who I'm looking for right But if they but if they reply back and say and and this is someone that said I'm not interested but they reply back and they say No, I'm not I'm not capturing local leads, but Whatever like then that's of course man You can go into as many messages as you want with them, but I don't waste the time. That's not so that's they they failed On getting my time my time is valuable.  I'm not interested your mind's in the gutter bro. Good luck seen But you don't want to reply Are you kidding me like I'm over here telling you that I can help you with your social media marketing I'm over here telling you that I can give you more clients and get you more business But you don't want to reply. Okay, great. So number one I'm assuming that you're already full of business and you don't need no more and that's a great problem to have But if you're not that business owner Where you have so much business You don't even know what to do with it If you're not that business owner because there are those business owners There's definitely those business owners that have so many leads. They can't even go go through them all That's a good problem to have. Shout out to you guys But not that's one percent. That's one percent 99 percent of every bozo building a business Do not have that problem. They don't have the problem of too many customers. Yeah, right So if you're gonna see it and not reply dude Okay, good luck to you too, bro. Like you're not someone I want to talk to that mindset's not not there This one. Thanks. Great to connect with you too. Okay, great. So I can I can assume That you got enough business that you're busy enough. Okay, cool. I'll let that one marinate We went over this one. My social media is set already. Okay based on what what is set? What is your definition of set mr. Chiropractor? What is your definition of a set social media? What does that mean? And again chin so in my case my menu my services that I offer these clients 100 percent of them are missing it 100 percent of the niche that i'm after And I truly believe that it's every business. It don't matter the niche. It don't matter the niche So whatever niche you're going after it doesn't even matter I'm here to tell you 100 percent are missing what I offer They're missing it man And these are basics your landing pages email auto responder facebook ads Freaking link facebook. I mean social media links making sure your links are all up to date and listed and legit Legit looking like these are basics and and so in my case man I 100 percent of businesses miss it. They do they just do man. They just do now I don't have time to go after 100 of every business. No, I want to so you pick your niche pick your niche Get your menu Set set your menu. What services are you're providing?  Don't try to offer freaking a million services to these people. No dude niche down What do you want to focus on focus on if you're gonna run facebook ads? Okay, cool Call yourself a facebook ad agency and and that's what you're gonna perfect You're gonna perfect driving paid traffic from a facebook ad to a simple landing page To get people to opt in for that business whatever it may be man, whatever it may be whatever that business is There's something here that they can give away for free Okay, um a free download a free pdf a free coupon whatever. This is your only job, man I would niche down. I would niche down on your services for sure And and and know and know that They're not implementing them. They're not implementing them. So their definition of set. Okay, cool. What is your definition of set larry? They they reply back with number three. What's your definition of set larry? Yeah, I reached out because you know, I've been helping plumbers for the past few years with their social media marketing and facebook advertising And I just I just I just noticed, you know A few a few basics that your pages are missing that I really believe if you if you implemented them You'd be capturing more local leads and you could possibly handle I was just reaching out because I wanted to you know extend some value to you and really see if I can help you But if you're if you're all set That means you're already capturing leads and you're already capturing local leads And if that's the case man, I wish you the best awesome keep up the phenomenal work But hey, man, if you're not capturing local leads, you may want to redefine your definition of set because We should maybe talk let me know your best time send me your email and your best time tomorrow And I'll add us to the calendar and email you a confirmation And what I do is I have a calendar so they'll they'll reply back They'll reply back with their With their email not their phone number. I get them on zoom just like this They'll reply back with their best time and email And that's when I come over here to my calendar. They don't see this calendar Um, I come over here to my calendar and I book that call for them. They told me tomorrow They told me friday at at five p.m. Okay, great. I'm booking it and then through my kartra system Through my kartra system is where I have my email auto responder setup Is where I have my email auto responder setup and my calendar setup And that's this calendar over here. So this is a kartra calendar This is a kartra calendar. So profit with kartra dot online Is what I use for my calendar my landing pages and my email auto responder. Okay So again, man again Their definition is different than mine. You're not interested You're not interested in what and capturing more leads in closing more deals and making more money Isn't that why you're in business stacy? What are you not interested in?  That's all you gotta tell me damn john It's all you gotta say bro If you have so much business coming in and you can't deal with no more You got money coming out of your ears and you can't even Cash it as as as fast as you get it like, okay, cool, man Let me know that don't just say i'm not interested because i'm gonna i'm a salesman So i'm gonna go off and come at you again if that's the case But if you're not interested because you already have a ton of business Great, man. No worries. I was just reaching out because I help a ton of plumbers And I noticed you were missing a ton of the basics on your social media platforms I wanted to see if I can help That's why I reached out man, but I understand you're not interested If you're already capturing a bunch of local leads on social media shit, man more power to you But if not, let me know if you have a few minutes tomorrow We could schedule a quick call Send me your email and best time and I'll email you the link for zoom I use zoom so I can share my screen and visually show you What you could implement And so send me your email and best time I'll add us to the calendar and email you a notification right away And so that's when I take their email again, you guys I take their email And I entered into um, I entered into my cartra calendar and through my cartra calendar and an email notification an email notification goes out and um And um That appointment is booked. Okay, so That's kind of how I handle number fortune Number five interested to learn more perfect perfect. Here's exactly what I tell them I say great um Let me know If tomorrow works and we'll schedule a quick call send me your email and best time I'll add us to the calendar and email you a confirmation They'll reply back with their neat with their email and best time again. I come over to my calendar I book it the email auto responder sends out the the welcome email In fact, let me show you the welcome email Actually, it's under my calendars So we go to my calendars. This is where the welcome email comes from Um, and that's how I set it up. So if I go into the into the email This is the first email that goes out right away And that and that's number five shin. That's number five is that I'll simply I'll I'll simply reply reply back and say hey man. Awesome Um Send me your email and best time tomorrow So email confirmation and reminders I'll add us to the calendar and email you a a confirmation. Okay, so here's what here's the cartridge calendar and how the cartridge calendar works is that um An email confirmation and an email reminder goes out. So here's the booking confirmation. Here's what I have that goes out Okay, and this is something you'll customize and you'll write so The the title strategy call confirmed and then down here Congratulations jack our strategy call is confirmed. Here's a quick summary and then there's the there's the um There's the event the hosted by and that's going to be all my name And then best of you don't laptop or desktop and then there is the link to my zoom That is it man. That is it. That's simple. That's simple This is an automated email that goes out the moment that that appointment is booked. Okay, and then another email Another go another email goes out One hour. I have it set that way you guys can set it however you want but this email reminder It goes out one hour before our call Okay, so one hour before our call This email goes out and it's the same one. I I can customize I can change it. I can do whatever but um The title hey jack zoom in one hour and then this is for a reminder their upcoming call is in one This is a friendly reminder of our upcoming call in one hour and then boom. There goes the link to my zoom That's it you guys so That is what I do Shin is that I don't once they say Number five. Let me let me save this save save save save save okay, so once Once they say interested to learn more that's when I'll say that awesome I don't go into my menu. I don't go into crazy dialogue. I don't send a bunch of Messages after that right when they say number five. I am going for the appointment. This is not we're not in a a a a Just only text world where you can just get your entire message across via text You can but I wouldn't advise that man. I want to get you on the phone because I need a credit card I need money. That's the bottom line. I need to close you. I need to bring you aboard I need to exchange value there needs to be a trend a transaction here and I'm not going to do that through a text message I'm not going to do it through the dm So I I'm not going to explain everything because again when you're trying to sell like a salesman and you're texting and you're messaging You sound like a salesman So I don't want to get into all that I just need to get you on the phone like let me get you on zoom And let me visually show you this because once I visually show you everything It's a it's a completely different game and let's say for example number five Interested to learn more. Can you tell me more? Even if they want you to explain it because they're going to want you to message They're going to want you to explain it if anything if that one comes out number five and they're like yeah, man Tell me more or interested to learn more don't think that that's An Don't think that that's designed for a message. No your reply that whole explain explanation Is not through the map through the dm. No number five That's when you're going straight into the appointment and even if they want you to say hey Man, can you explain more or can you elaborate or what exactly do you do? It don't matter what the heck number five is number five can come in in many different Forms that's one interested to learn more But it could be it could be a different variation It could be similar very similar but just set a little differently I'm here to tell you no matter what it is the objective is to go for the appointment Oh, dude, that's awesome. I'd love to tell you more man. I got so much to share with you In fact, I use zoom So I can visually show you everything and not just tell you I don't want to and that's why I don't even do phone calls That's why I don't need your cell phone number because it'd be very difficult for me to verbally explain this Over a phone call because you're gonna have you're not gonna have any idea what I'm talking about So I use zoom so I can visually show you I can visually walk you through it and and so and so In conclusion in conclusion, I'm gonna end it here My whole strategy is to is to get them on the phone and make it seem like a consultation make it Make it seem like a free tip.

Here's how I go into the call shen I go into the call as a friend. I go into the call as a consultant I go into the call telling them everything that they can implement And and and doing it in a teacher type of way where I'm just teaching them how Okay, at the end of the call, I already know because I'm a ninja closer I already know that they're not going to be able to do it. I already know that they're not going to have the time I already know that they're not going to have the knowledge to go implement everything I just teach teach them taught them sold them whatever I already know that they're not going to have that time Okay That's when they end up hiring me.    I'm going to keep it real with you I don't have the time I'm going to need you to go do this since you're the master and since you know about all this stuff What do you charge to go do it and boom? That's when I get them into my trap Stacey, I'm glad you asked Here's what I'm going to do for you. Here's what I can do for you I can do this this this and this and then we're going to start off small Then here's what I do you guys. I start all my clients small. I start them all on a small budget I start them all on a a a Yeah, I don't even call it a retainer Because in the first month, we're just dating like I'm not getting you to marry me right now I'm not asking for 1,500 a month right now. I'm not asking for 2,500 a month right now No, the first month we're going to date but you're going to definitely pay enough where where I can at least feed my family You're going to at least, you know Put down for some budget because we're going to run some facebook ads So you're going to at least put some skin in the game And and and on a business perspective when it comes to the numbers you guys I do a few of those per week Which make a good income just on the front end. That's my front end funnel That is the front end front end of my social media agency where I get you at a few hundred now I'm going to do this this this I'll do x y and z you're going to put a few hundred into it A lot of that's going to go to the budget for these facebook ads that I'm going to run for you to get your brand out there and get your pixel going But you're going to put a few hundred in the game and Next month we'll move on to the next step And on my menu shin next month is when I'm getting them for a thousand 1500 2500 that's next month not right now. So after I blow their mind in month number one That's when a handful of my clients will come back three out of every 10 We'll come back in month number two and say damn, david I'm ready for number three and the reason why not everyone comes back for number three because not everyone has 2000 a month to give you they all need it, but they don't have it like they don't want to give it for whatever reason Marketing is the most important piece of a business puzzle man without your marketing or advertising or getting the word out for your business No one knows you exist. No one knows you're in business So you have to spend man. You have to spend but not everyone spends, you know what I mean? So At the end of the month, you're going to have and and I have my email auto responder Set up for all this where when I onboard a client they get a welcome email right away Right when they schedule an appointment, they get a welcome email right away. But when I when I onboard a client Through my email auto responder. I have four more emails Set to go out The next email goes out seven days after I closed them the next email goes out seven days later The next email goes out seven days later. Now we're 21 days later The next email goes out seven days later. That's the fourth email in 28 days All these emails are designed to get me to that next step is to get that client to reschedule an appointment with Or to schedule another appointment with me so we could talk about the next step I got them for a few hundred now, but that's not where we're going to really really scale That's just the beginning. That's just a start Next month is where I really want you and I really want you Putting more money in the game. I want you putting more money into advertising I want I want to bring even more value and it's going to be it's going to cost a little more as well And that's month number two, but my emails are set up that way Where it gets people to schedule appointments appointments with me and that's when we're talking about that step. So so So that was a ton right there you guys I would highly encourage you to watch this video again Definitely watch it again, but The objective is to get them on the phone. The objective is to get them on screen share like this Zoom.us is what I use for my screen share I send them that I send them the link to mine. It's a free account. You don't need to pay for zoom This is free. So I do all the screen share free And so um And and and I and I use this and and this is what I've been using since 2016 This is how I onboarded hundreds of clients From it and and and and when it came when it came to and when it comes to producing my digital course My course is where I package up a ton of my videos and offer them and and sell them right When it comes to my course, I use zoom to screen share And do my videos as well. So This right here man is how I did It's how I do it and it's how I continue to do it The whole objective is to get them on on this zoom and and and and show them What's on your menu show them and and and let me also say this whatever's on your menu needs to be A pain point it needs to be what that what that niche is already missing or maybe what what that niche Can improve on if you're a website designer or a website developer and you're selling website services Okay, now you got to convince the market why yours is better That's one approach to business My approach to it is where I broke down a handful of services and I broke down a handful of of of of Components to capturing leads online And I already know that none of these people are are are implementing them I already know that 100 of these businesses are missing them And that's my leverage. That's my leverage. So I already know that once I show them what we what what I'm doing for them then 100% of the time they're going to know that they're missing it And they're going to just bring me aboard to do it for them because they don't have the time they don't have the patience to learn and they have The money because they know they need to be spending money to to go make it happen Okay, social media marketing you guys social media is where every single business needs to be No matter what and and you're the man or the woman to make it happen for these businesses out there in your local community So keep it simple man shin.

Hey you guys, so we are back with part girl. This is for nine ten of Grey skies we ended it off with Aunt Ella's petty sub Letting Lamont know who his mother really is she just so happened and she's really Lamont's mother and so Lamont is sitting at the table with Uncle Glen and Aunt Ella and he's looking confused Cuz he's like why is she just not telling me this is because you know I'm back home or what's going on Ella is just looking at him because Lamont is almost in a stage of a State of shock and she's like well you gonna say anything And so Glenn is like Ella give the boys some time and Lamont is like why are you just not telling me this? She said well honestly Lamont. I don't know why I've been wanting to tell you now for years and I Figured since you came home, you know Right now, but let you know Ella went into this long story of how she had Lamont At a time where she wasn't married, you know, she was not married to Glenn. She met Glenn. Excuse me I'll she met Glenn like a year and a half after she had had Lamont and since she wasn't married and His mother slash aunt at the time was married They figured on Ella would have the baby give the baby off to the other sister and the sister would pretend like She actually had had the baby and Unfortunately though her husband ended up, you know leaving her and she passed away from cancer You know when Lamont was like in his early 20s and so Lamont is still confused because there's still parts missing from this story. He's not understanding like How is this happening and why is this happening now? so Aunt Ella is busy trying to Explain her stuff. That's what a month was like now now. I'm not doing this right now You know ever since I came to this town. My life has just been Go everything's going down here. You can't blame me for what I did. I made a decision I was young. I didn't know what to do. He's a now. I'm not just talking about that So before she could question him or He storms out y'all he gets into his car. He is mad. He's upset You know, he doesn't know what to think, you know the secrets Finding out that you know apparently Kendra is not as happy as he thought She was that's when he gets a beat a notification on his phone girl He looks down on his phone and he does have access to the gambling site and he sees negative $2,000 he lost the bid and now he's upset.  So Lamont again, he's supposed to be on his way headed out of town, right on this business trip But he wanted to stop by on Ellis to see what she wanted He decides to go ahead and go out of town. He's he's done. So he's Heading out. That's when he sees a sign for a bar heading out of town. There's a sign He sees the bar on the right-hand side. He veers off and stops at this boy He's like, I'm just gonna have one drink just one drink. That's all I need He stops by y'all. He heads into the boy. He knows his place because again, he's from here He heads in and he sees the bartender someone. He knows old Charlie. That's that could be his name Oh Charlie. He said hey, Charlie man, go ahead and just give me a double man before I get on the road And Charlie turns around.  He said, yeah, just a double So he sits down. He has to drink. That's when he has he sits down. Oh, Charlie Picks old Charlie fixed him the double y'all those you don't know if you don't drink a double is a double shot So Lamont has a double shot of crown Royal whatever so He throws it back Sets it down. That's when he hears a voice behind him that says Lamont He turns around and behind him.   Larry. That's Lamont's little nickname So he's like, yeah, I've been here for a minute.  She's that's why I heard you married with a baby on the way But I also heard Ms. Norris nephew has been over your place a while And so he looked at he said who did you hear that from? Lamont get with it. This is a small town, baby. Everybody knows y'all business So that's what you want to say. It's just like Larry.  I was just headed out.  Charlie go ahead and give him another. He's a no, no, no. I can't do it right now, Yolanda I'll I'll hit you up when I get back. She's like, no, you gonna do one right now and you we're gonna catch up So he looks at her. He looks at his watch. He figures he probably has another hour So he's like screw it. I'll do another go ahead. Charlie. Charlie pours him another shots, right? So while this is going on Kendra and Byron are on the couch dry humping.  He's had now four Double shots now. He's kind of swirling around getting up child. He can't do much of anything So that's when Charlie say you okay, man. He's a y'all. Okay. I'm just gonna go ahead and um I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick and then I'll I'll just go ahead and hit the road So he has to the bathroom right to go use the bathroom while he's in the bathroom finishing up Washing his hand. He hears the door open now y'all it's late So really don't really wasn't hardly anybody in the bar But like less than five people including including himself in Yolanda It's Yolanda's feisty ass. She comes in and she pushes up on him and they start going at it He pushes her into an empty stall again There's nobody around pushes her into the empty stall and proceeds to blow her back out Yeah, I'm sorry. Told y'all 18 and over that's going on Back to Kendra and Byron. He said you know what Kendra?  I Like you really a lot so much to wear. I'm not willing to do this knowing that you're married Trust me. I want to but I know it's wrong and she looks at him and she's like, you know what Byron I knew you were a good guy and I can respect that and honestly, I shouldn't be doing this either considering I'm the one that's married mine you Lamont's ass is already Pipe down this girl. I can't say what I want to say. He's already piped on this girl His blood is drunk. He gets in his car. He tries to call Kendra to say bump it. I'm not going on my business trip I'm gonna go ahead and come back home But she's not answering her cell phone is on the dining room table and it's on It's on silent so he drives in still a little hazy Drunk and he sees Byron's car parked outside.   I he's like man. It's midnight.  That's when Kendra gets up. She's like Lamont.  I'm not coming down. You got this dude up in my house. They're like, well, he's like look I Apologize it won't happen again. He's a hell not it won't happen again That's when Lamont charges after Byron mine y'all Lamont has had a couple of drinks shot He ain't doing so they start wrestling back and forth and Kendra screaming just like get off of him Lamont Going back and forth Byron got him down and a hand like he said man. I'm not trying to hurt you. That's when Kendra and her belly got in the way when Lamont tried to push Byron off of him He accidentally pushed Kendra back Kendra fell back on the side on her belly and hurt herself That's when both men stopped and look around at her and they're like, oh, he's like, oh my god, baby Are you okay? He's a man.  And so now we gotta make sure she's okay So Kendra is on the ground on the ground holding her belly and she's like, I'm okay I'm all right y'all.  He's like chill I'm just trying to help her up in Lamont and this is Lamont baby. Are you okay? Are you are you right? She's like something's not right. She's feeling this time. She's like no something's not right Something's not right Byron is holding her arm trying to keep her steady Lamont is like swirling around in his damn head And she looks up at Byron Kendra looks up at Byron and says she's like something's not right I need to and that's when she passes out y'all.  He calls 911, right? The ambulance comes they takes Kendra and they're like, okay You want to ride with us to Byron because they're thinking Byron is the husband like okay? You want to he's a no no. No, this is the husband right here.  He's concerned. So he follows them in the ambulance Get to the hospital y'all a Kendra's blood pressure has spiked so high That they are keeping her in the ER in the hospital for observation Okay, to make sure that her and the baby is okay. Everything's okay with the baby But she is like I said heart rate and blood pressure is high So they are keeping her in the hospital for a few days Byron is outside waiting Lamont is walking back and forth walking back and forth The ER doctor comes out and says and she looks around and she sees at this time now Aunt Ella Sorry, uh, yeah, uh Ella Patty's ass has came down with Uncle Glenn you have Aunt Ella Uncle Glenn Byron and Lamont all in the waiting room Waiting for the ER doctor right and so the ER doctor comes out and she's like, okay Who's the father and Byron points at Lamont down the hallway pacing back and forth And when by what excuse me with Lamont sees the ER doctor he runs down And the ER doctor gives him the news and say everything's okay But she you know, we need to keep her here for observation Um her heart rate and blood pressure were extremely high and elevated So and that's when the ER doctor was like it has she been under a lot of stress Child everyone's looking at each other not really saying anything but Aunt Ella's like, yeah, you could say that She's like, yeah, you could say that and the ER doctor said well you guys, you know given Kendra's history We really need to make sure that in order for her to deliver in order for her and the baby to remain Healthy and safe alleviate her stress at home. Okay. And so that's when Lamont was like, okay, doctor. Thank you so much. I understand Lamont is there he makes sure that Kendra is okay. She's talkative. She's okay. She's fine And so that's when Kendra goes on to explain. She's like look Lamont. I'm sorry I I should never had had Byron over and that's what Lamont was like. It's it's okay, baby You know the doctor said we need to make sure that you You know remain stress free So we'll talk about it when you get out when you get out of here Of course Lamont don't want to talk about it because like I said, he was up in the bathroom in the bar banging his His uh, uh old high school girlfriend.  So all right y'all a couple of days go by Kendra was only in the hospital for like two days. That's it and they got her out the baby's okay Everything's fine. They're just saying you need to watch it matter of fact If this happens again, we're gonna put you on bed rest to where your ass can't be getting up and walking around and and you know making out with people Aunt Ella comes over now every now and then to help Kendra So Lamont has it in the back of his head that he's gonna go ahead and contact Byron and let him know that They don't need him anymore because Aunt Ella is here now But before he could do it baby Byron beat him to it Byron sent him a text message And it was basically like look Kendra's under a lot of a lot of stress.
