3 2.1958morals and-3.1656 
5 3.6116and beliefs.4.3393 
7 5.1619So5.7777 
9 6.5352I just feel like7.3068 
11 9.3072that right there10.2416 
13 10.5743it's just- I don't know. It's just i-12.0467 
15 12.7759it's-13.0831 
17 13.2365that already- When you come into that, it already puts you in a box.16.3053 
19 17.1336Cause you- you getting taught something19.2039 
21 20.1038that your family was taught21.6009 
23 22.1336that they don't even know if it's true or not but they going with it, so it's like25.1935 
25 25.6203just like how26.2524 
27 26.7267you born in your family. Your father a Redskin fan.29.8873 
29 30.5223And you don't even know nothing about sports yet32.3586 
31 32.6906but you see your father a Redskin fan.34.6439

35 39.4913You don't even know the history, like40.9141 
37 41.2964now once you start becoming a little older, you start aksing questions and then you learn the history.45.8877 
39 46.2416You might not even wanna be a Redskin fan no more,48.5777 
41 48.7546you know what I mean?49.3847 
43 49.8277Or you might just be like,51.0240 
45 51.2364I do- never even wanted to- How did I know I liked the Redskins? I just seen my father doing it so55.7386 
47 56.2454I- I kind of feel like it's the same thing.58.0852 
49 58.4894And- and when you don't give yourself that freedom of choice,61.4051 
51 62.5189it- it just- it puts you in a box. Like- and- and- and I don't- I- I'd rather not be in a box.68.1524 
52DCB_se1_ag3_m_0170.3478What- Have- Were you ever in the box at one- any point in your life?73.1723

108 139.5970be like- I- I wouldn't say accepted, but I just-142.3936 
110 142.9210I started listening what was going on144.9227 
112 145.5729and I never really could understand like147.7815 
114 148.7230like I always feel like it was a pattern.150.6839 
116 150.9741Like every year151.9581 
118 152.3728certain sermons would get preached around the same times,155.5371 
120 155.9406and I used to just start catching on to different things and I just wanted to-158.7196 
122 159.0948It just started being like, [aksing questions.]161.0628 
123DCB_se1_ag3_m_01160.2345[Yeah, repetitious.]161.2893
124DCB_se1_ag2_m_02161.2468Yeah like,161.8344
125 162.3228around certain times of the year or164.3374
127 165.0223different situations, you know, it's like the same,167.5487 
129 167.9981so I- I don't know. I just-169.3969 
131 169.5772yeah, I- I just always wanted to know more, but-172.1850 
133 173.0415and my family,174.0680 
135 174.4387my grandmother, she's-175.7490 
137 176.2383Like, you not about to come in there and tell her no different.179.2681 
139 179.9335And180.3441 
141 180.8713I don't care what facts or none of that, she not even about to hear it, so184.1834 
143 184.6734it just shows how186.2468 
145 186.7714a belief [can really-]187.8640 
146DCB_se1_ag3_m_01187.3418[How deep] it [is.]188.7403
147DCB_se1_ag2_m_02188.3091[Yeah], it really like- it- it- it really affects a person to the core.192.5124
148 192.7830Like,193.1182
150 193.7428that's how far a belief can go.195.3646 
151DCB_se1_ag3_m_01197.8556Whether it's true or not.198.7759
152DCB_se1_ag2_m_02198.8486Whether it's true or not.199.7245
154 201.5408It just show you the- the power of the brain and how it can be204.6485 
156 205.3242tricked.205.8802 
158 207.4067If- if you allow it to,208.7159 
160 208.9912and you will be in a daze.210.4361 
162 210.9418People like in a daze.212.2595 
164 214.2416And some people, they-215.2185 
166 215.8485even if they-216.6697 
168 217.1723some people are really scared of the truth. Like even if you come at them, they been believing something for so long,222.3865 
170 223.1050they don't even like224.1321 
172 225.0028wanna-225.5762 
174 226.3549At- like they at this point they- they just feel like I don't even wanna hear it. Like I- I- I can't. Like they don't even wanna face that reality.232.5412 
176 233.4096So,233.9203 
178 234.9696that just show you how236.0218 
180 236.7481deep belief go too.237.8940 
181DCB_se1_ag3_m_01238.2345Mm-mm.238.6310
183 239.8061There's a term, it's called cognitive dissonance, just to242.2336 
185 242.4790let you know that's the term for that. Makes 'em feel uncomfortable.245.0345 
186DCB_se1_ag2_m_02245.1973Yeah.245.5441
187DCB_se1_ag3_m_01245.9830When you challenge someone's core belief.247.7825
188DCB_se1_ag2_m_02248.7014Mm-hm.249.2930
190 249.8310Yeah I [seen it.]250.6026 
191DCB_se1_ag3_m_01250.1779[Yeah.] Like how does that change you? Like- like what- does that make you- Like do you feel different when you're around people? Or I mean how does [that change-]256.4823
192DCB_se1_ag2_m_02255.8632[For me, it doesn't] change me because I- I- like I'm- I'm sure of myself when I'm around people. Like260.7597
193 261.4417I feel like whatever they say to me can't really263.7990
195 264.1105shake me in my core.265.5475 
197 265.9480Like your belief is your belief,267.5266 
199 267.8948and I only can view it as that, so269.7848 
201 270.1947nothing that you gonna say to me272.0430 
203 272.5781about your belief273.6753 
205 274.5989is gonna like make me276.0467 
207 276.2520uncomfortable or277.3493 
209 277.7923make me feel no type of way. Like I'm /still gonna-/ still gonna talk to you the same way.281.2066 
211 281.7282Like I'm still gonna-282.7405 
213 283.1220You know, I'm not about to- I'm not gonna act different.285.2789 
215 285.7128Like if somebody gonna be acting different, it's gonna be the other person. Like I- I- I wouldn't act different at all.290.2949 
217 290.9618Like it wouldn't affect me in no way.292.3905 
219 295.4555Like my cousin, I- I went to church with my cousin a few years back,298.3053 
221 298.7854and at the end,299.6574 
223 300.0715he- This is like a church he was really,301.9793 
225 302.7338um,303.2945 
227 303.5232a part of, and he always had a good relationship with the pastor.306.1922 
229 306.7476And ended up, um,307.9793 
231 309.0878at the end of the sermon and310.1576 
233 310.6168church let out, whatever,311.6362 
235 311.8204he introduced me to him,312.9812 
237 313.6578and I shook his hand. I'm like,314.8541 
239 315.3638hey what's up with you? How you doing?316.6593 
241 317.6149And like they felt like the way I spoke to him was like,320.6018 
243 321.0099improper or something. And I couldn't really understand what they was talking about. Like,324.2450 
245 324.9316I spoke to him- Like I didn't disrespect him. I- I- You know what I mean? I spoke to him328.6756 
247 329.1815as if he was any other man. Like why would I have to speak to him332.1301 
249 332.4933in a- in a higher regard than-334.2742 
251 334.5319than me?334.9000 
253 335.8320Like, you- you know what I'm saying? That's how I feel. And they looking at me like338.7904 
255 339.5054I was doing something wrong. But it's like, even though I see a man in his robe343.3650 
257 343.9410and all these people were listen him, I- he don't- I- me, I don't feel like he's no more [important than I am.]348.8589 
258DCB_se1_ag3_m_01348.1034[Don't make] him better than you.349.6961
259DCB_se1_ag2_m_02349.8348Yeah. So like that's just how I always carry myself, so,353.3007
261 354.2166I- that- that don't really affect me. People beliefs don't really affect me is the point of what I was saying.358.4469

403 578.7439nowadays people eating580.5113 
405 581.0941bigger wings and not even like, paying attention to it.583.6957 
407 584.3449And it's just become a common, like, oh, this is a big wing. It's a good thing. You know what I mean? So that's whatchu-589.5559 
409 589.9170that's how you wanna-590.8109 
411 591.0284that's how they want you to view it.592.3641 
413 592.8378But in reality, the wing-594.2001 
415 594.4842He compared it to like, uh- uh- a regular wing,596.6634 
417 597.0439and the wings was just598.0634 
419 598.2195like- it was huge. And both 'em sposta be party wings.600.7327 
421 601.2996Like, that's just an example. Like something like,603.1759 
423 603.8360the chicken is being fed605.4108 
425 605.5615with hormones or- I mean, it just- it makes you- Even if you don't know609.2070 
427 609.4399what it is, it makes you wanna look and find out611.3581 
429 611.7466why is this chicken bigger than this chicken? You know what I mean?614.3783 
431 614.8622And like,615.3002 
433 615.4788that's for anybody. Like I don't really know all the things that's in it, but it m- it makes me curious. /And/ like,620.2500 
435 620.7488oh that chicken big and that chicken something ain't right here.623.0320 
437 623.3659So it makes you w- it makes you start to think, damn.625.5326 
439 626.6556Like it makes you rethink the whole process of what we're eating,630.4691 
441 630.7715how we're eating,631.7035 
443 632.3139why we should eat- Like it makes you just wanna go to the history of-635.3115 
445 635.8629you know what I mean? Like food and- and- and you know what I'm saying? The what do we eat?639.2380 
447 639.7642Like for me- And that's why I'm- I'm tryna move towards now but,643.0123 
449 643.7892oh,643.9776 
451 644.3298twenty eight years of eating these foods that they make you like,647.4132 
453 647.9591they market them to your mind to make you wanna650.3671 
455 650.9740crave- It's like a whole- It's a whole scheme.653.1640 
457 653.5445You know? So654.2978 
459 654.8414it's- You gotta be-655.9520 
461 656.2751you- it takes strength to really like, restrain. And I don't- That's what I'm dealing with now. Trying to get to the point where660.8414 
463 661.9722I take the things that I know663.5662 
465 663.7734and apply it664.5738 
467 664.9621when it comes to food.665.9483 
469 666.8181You know?667.2305 
471 667.4403So.667.8122 
472DCB_se1_ag3_m_01668.8808When you've had trouble- You said-670.2787
474 670.4884When you speaking about food, like do you672.1347 
476 672.4842enjoy food? Like what do you do for a living?674.6323 
477DCB_se1_ag2_m_02675.3701Well right now I'm not working. I'm about to start school.677.5561
479 678.3988Um,679.0433 
481 679.6615I was- I was a cook. I was cooking working for, uh,682.5893 
483 683.0786Marriott and a couple little independent little kitchens too.685.8588 
485 686.5313Um,687.0290 
487 687.1608but just being around food. I always been around food, even growing up cooking,691.1676 
489 691.5946my family liked to cook. So693.3545 
491 694.1078I- I was cooking for years. So being around food,697.0589 
493 697.4627and having a creative mind and- and the different things you can do with food,701.3686 
495 702.0338and702.4842 
497 702.9735that part of it,703.9287 
499 704.8886kind of like,705.5720 
501 705.9603makes you wanna eat the things that you know you can't eat just708.7249 
503 709.0123the creativity of it and the being around a abundance of food.712.0457 
505 712.6825Um,713.1795 
507 713.4902but713.8241 
509 714.4609you also get to see being around abundance of healthy foods, you get to see the effect of those too.718.7446 
511 719.1844And I see both sides working in the kitchen. Like, I really had the choice every day722.8187 
513 723.4477to eat healthy or eat bad,725.0011 
515 725.3802you know?725.8396 
517 726.2512And it's just a-727.1210 
519 727.4938a727.8821 
521 729.0439more of a, um, easier choice to-732.0182 
523 732.2668to do something bad, far as food. Like,734.6944 
525 735.0361it's easier and it's routine. You might go and grab737.4979 
527 737.8319a cookie, second nature, and not even know, you know what I mean? Can happen so fast741.6194 
529 742.0698if you- that's what you743.1027 
531 743.6230used to doing.744.4695 
533 744.7568So745.2461 
535 745.7061it just like a transitional type thing and being around food,748.9347 
537 749.3936different foods-750.1510 
539 750.5333Me, I grew up eating a lot of sweets,752.3142 
541 752.5337so I like, my mother,753.8008 
543 754.2256she big on sweets, so I- I eat a lot of sweets. That's always been a problem for me, too.758.7303 
545 759.3195So e- it's just really the discipline at this point,762.0236 
547 762.2681being disciplined.763.0571 
549 763.6276Taking the knowledge that I know about foods and just applying it.766.1760 
551 767.0750But that's what- the point of what I was saying was769.0925 
553 769.4719I'm tryna get myself in, uh, physical-772.6291 
555 773.4148Um,773.9457 
557 774.4367I wanna be physically, mentally, spiritually,776.6974 
559 777.1637everything balanced.778.5018 
561 778.7990So when I'm speaking and talking to people, they looking at me as a person who781.9966 
563 782.4190like yeah, he look like he know exactly what he talking about. He- like he did some research.786.6819 
565 787.2914Just-787.6801 
567 787.9886just not for their impressions, just789.8079 
569 790.3045to make me more confident as I'm speaking.792.5619 
571 792.6641You know?793.1279 
573 793.4549And- and speaking of things that I learned? You know what I mean?796.2680 
574DCB_se1_ag3_m_01797.0042Mm-hm.797.8679
576 799.8070Yeah, that's what's up, man.801.2557
