All right, greetings, greetings, welcome to another episode of Truth to Power. I'm your host, Tyra Storrell, Me, and tonight you guys, I want to talk about weirdos. Weirdos. There's always, I know I check my levels and make sure everything's okay with the audio and make sure everything's in place.
Everything seems to be in place, so let's get this episode on the road. First of all, thank you guys for joining me. Thank you guys for following me. You know, on a side note, before we get into this episode, I want to say, may you not do no, man.
My life has been lit lately. You know, I just got to put that out there. My life has been very good lately. Even through all the challenges and everything that I face day in and day out, I have to say I'm going to say that my life is good.
I can't complain. And what I mean by that is, for the most part, I was supposed to shoot two movies back to back. One of them being polite. And with polite, everybody knows that it's like, next to low-hanging fruit, it's like, very near and dear to my soul.
No-hanging fruit was near and dear to my soul. And I took care of it like a baby. Same thing with I'm sorry, just a part of it. It took so long.
I'm playing some part right now to get the way I want it. But, and it should be out very soon, along with the politics, definitely, that I was telling you guys about. But, man, I was supposed to shoot a fight. But at the last minute, everything just fell apart.
Everything just cragged down on me at the last minute, like the day before. And I worked all the way to like one o'clock in the morning to try to get everything straight. But nothing went straight. Nothing went through like I wanted it to go.
But in the midst of that, while I was sick, I was very sick at that time. With the cold, I don't want to say it was COVID, but it was very bad cold. I was sick with everything that seemed to be crashing down. And I took a deep breath and I just canceled everything.
And I put out a mass text to my actors and my staff. And I was just like, listen, this happened. All you guys willing to wait and be down with me in February. And I would have everything in place and, you know, and I'd be more situated.
And I have a backup on top of the backups. I got calls from like calls and texts from two people out there, whole staff. Now mind you, I had like 12 or 14 people that was going to be on the staff. But I got calls and texts from two of those people.
And with that being said, like those two people, I will not forget. I will not forget those two people. Once I start playing, they have a job with me for sure. They may have a job with me for life.
And maybe on my staff where I could be able to pay them for life. And what the rest of them, they try to contact me afterwards. And, you know, with my temperament and how I feel about a lot of things and a lot of people, my temperament is listen, when things go awry and it's clearly temporary. And these are things that are out of my control.
When things go bad and people abandon me, I find it very difficult to accept their presence afterwards. Here I went, things are going good and people are banning me. I find it very difficult to accept their presence afterwards because this whole spin of black culture and are they trying to spin the black and things like that? No, my thing is don't ain't not spin the black because you should stay on street.
You should stay on street. Now for the most part of my very generous guy. And people, they were me as me because I don't take any bullshit. And I'm very vengeful.
And I say these things very routinely. I'm very, very vengeful. And that's why I always ask people to write by me in the beginning because the moment I sense and you just see the moment that I sense, any betrayal, that's going to be it. You don't have to worry about me anymore.
And for the most part, I don't have to do anything to you physically, not having access to me anymore. That's just enough right there. There's a lot of people in my black place. They're still calling me from no call ID.
You know who you are if you're listening. And they can get access to me anymore. And it's not something that I did so. It's not something that I did against them.
It's not something that they say listen. I don't want to be in life anymore. Cool. Fine with that.
It's cool with me. You don't have to be in my life anymore. If you ever get that inkling that you don't let you know all the way in, then don't be in it all. But I say that to say this.
It's a mistake waiting to tell you. So that's a lot of weirdos out here in the world. And the world I grew up in is far moved. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone times.
Men don't have mainly masculine actions behind a lot of things that they do. It's a very, very, very, very feminine vibe towards a lot of these dudes. And I don't understand it. It's getting weird about a day.
You know, they're, it made me like, man, I try to watch my words and what I say. But man, this, there's a weird old, weird old culture. And it's like very, it's like, even in the gym, you find the most weirdest people. And it's like people are basically begging you to physically harm them in a sense, because I can't understand for a life for me why people don't allow you to have your space or, and your personal space and things like that.
They want to crawl your space. And I understand, listen, I get it from afar and even up close when you talk to me. I can seem like a very interesting person. And I am a very interesting person.
But there's a time and place where things like a family and a gym don't get, don't come by me while working out and asking if I'm using a machine that is two feet away when I'm clearly not. If I'm in a gym, please don't try to disturb me in any form of fashion or distract me. That's gonna get you a feeling, sir, every time. And I walk a flat line between assertive and aggression.
Aggression. Every time. Every day of my life. Somebody said that I get there from my grandmother.
Because she made, to me, one of the best statements in the history of life. I would rather fight than eat. And that's my mindset. I do not want to quiet death.
I want to grow up screaming on the battlefield. I'm a warrior. So sometimes it's hard for me to put my soul in my shield down. But when I'm on the battlefield of life and I'm just watching all these people move around and I'm just like very disgusted because people are so fucking weird.
And so fucking weird. Don't y'all know that they got people that got secret smoke for me or secret beef with me. Because I've had sex with their friends. There are women out there that are mad at me for having sex with their friends.
And for those who know me, who are listeners of the game. Or the game has been picked up by another streaming service by the way. I had to put that out there. But for those who know me that are listeners of the game.
Y'all, I'm straight up about what I do. If I think that you're a girlfriend material. Hey, you're a girlfriend material. If I think that you're one nice damn material, you're one nice damn material.
If I think you're wifey material, you're a wifey material. But this whole notion that women get in their heads because you open your legs to me, that I somehow owe you something. No, I don't owe you nothing. Take that out with just some bad as daddy.
Some people are just hoes. And we were having a discussion today. Some people are just hoes, man. And it's okay.
That's your place in this world. I'm not judging you for being a hoe. But you can't be around me in a certain capacity because of reputation, because of paternity issues, because of health issues, STDs, so far on and so far on, et cetera, et cetera. Now, in a lot of people, man, they may try to come up with different type of scenarios and fantasy scenarios that, hey, well, men could do it, women could do it too.
No, it's not the same. It's not the same because nobody's entering our body constantly. It has a mental, physical, and spiritual effect on you, whether you like it or not. And I want to say this too because it's best of misconstruction about who the fuck I should be in.
So let me say this here. Right now. Click cut. Click cut.
Listen, off the road. I do not dig single moms and I do not dig thos. Point blank period. I do not dig reform holes because I know that you can't reform a hoe.
I know this. You can't perform holes. But there are widows out there. They will try.
They will try. Back in. You know, he's saying back in my day because it makes me feel old, but listen, I had uncles there and my father that taught me the game here about certain type of women, certain type of caliber women that you should have around you. You guys, my mom.
But that male goddess is silly. It is missing. It is missing and especially in Black society. And that's why we got so many widows out here.
They have people that I have done a lot for. And haven't complained about it. And they have turned around and had smoked for me because I stopped doing it. They've done nothing for me.
And I've done just about everything for them. But they got smoked for me. They want to be able to talk about me. Fucking widows.
They have people that I've them that are broken my back for. And you know, statement, there was a statement that resonated with me. And I don't really follow social media memes like that. But there's some really struck a chord in my head and in my heart.
Man, they had a meme that said, don't you know the same people that break your back? That's your break your back for. Won't even give you a wheelchair. Won't even push you around in the wheelchair.
They really resonated with me because I know in my heart hearts that for the most part so many times friends can become enemies. And that's what I can say. The person that just standing there too, the person that just sleeping next to, they don't really like you. Come into that realization.
Not because something that you've done to them. Not something that you've done ever having done for them. Because you keep progressing. And that's the instinct.
There are people that don't like me because I'm very esteemed. I'm very, very highly respected. From a lot of people. But through that, it's being become certain, becomes pain, becomes a lot.
Like you have to be willing to sacrifice a lot and I understand. And where is the nips and hustle? Everybody can't go. They can't.
And I'm not here to beg anybody to be in my life. I'm not here to beg anybody to stay around me. They don't want to be here. But the moment you leave, all I ask is do your best to protect my reputation like I protect yours.
Don't have people thinking that one way when it's really another way. Most people call me a asshole. Most people say that I'm mean or stay in office. And there's a reason for that.
There's a reason for that. Because I don't want to get caught up in your weird old shit. I don't. Like I'm thinking out here, it's just fucking crazy.
It's fucking insane. And I think it's like you tell people that it's not my barbarian. I refuse to adapt to this new world and all this old shit. People claim that me as a hoe, I'm not healed.
I'm still hurting for something, whatever the case is. But the truth of the matter is it's not the fact that they really think that I'm not healed. It's just the fact that I'm not the virgin of what they want me to be. Like a lot of people don't understand oppression.
And they use this as a quench. A lot of people understand oppression. That in order for you to be healed, that you must somehow act and behave in a manner that is not conducive to who you truly are at your core. Let me tell you something.
Eventually you have to finish therapy. Eventually you have to finish therapy. Eventually you do. Those who say that you don't be are incompetent.
One, secondly, they themselves are not willing to do any work for their life to improve. They just want somebody to call them and tell them everything's going to be okay. So, eventually you have to finish therapy. Eventually you have to heal.
For those who keep seeing healing is the everyday process. It's the everyday process. You got to heal on your own time. You got to heal.
That is stupidity. Imagine your doctor telling you that or your surgeon telling you that. How would you feel about your doctor or surgeon telling you that? Hey, doctor, I'm here.
You know, healing is everyday process. You'll never be healed. Truly. You always going to have this scar on your leg.
There's nothing we can do about this. This is fatal. Every time you go in for something, it'll be a call for anything. You'll never be healed, truly.
Not everything is fatal. It's what I'm saying. If your doctor told you that you coming in for a call was fatal, just have a call and tell me doctor, you're going to be some therapist right now. You're going to be some therapist right now.
You're going to be some therapist right now. Why do I even need to go to you? Because people don't put those type of standards on themselves. They don't say, hey, listen.
They only themselves in a mirror and say, listen, listen. Why are we still stuck here? We should be getting better. Day by day by day by day by day.
But you use this crutch in social media. It has fucked y'all heads up. And then you know the thing is y'all are taking advice from laming people on the internet. Oh, yeah, that sounds good.
What I'm going to do is just a fucking weird, dope culture. And I'm telling y'all right now, it's time to roll the fuck up. It is. Well, that's all I have for tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
