| 81 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 117.5735 | [Yes, yes], um, for the past four years, | 121.7075 |
| 82 | | 122.5892 | I've been catering | 123.2732 |
| 84 | | 124.0773 | on the side, for the last four years, yeah. | 125.5174 |
| 85 | DCB_int_01 | 126.6098 | Do you- | 127.4406 |
| 87 | | 127.7776 | do you do that a lot? | 128.8661 |
| 88 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 129.2899 | <clears throat> | 129.6002 |
| 89 | DCB_int_01 | 129.5968 | Do you cater a lot? | 130.2508 |
| 90 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 130.5277 | Um, | 131.0582 |
| 92 | | 131.9124 | initially when I first started, | 133.1469 |
| 94 | | 133.3004 | it was a favor. | 134.5483 |
| 96 | | 134.7126 | That's how it started off. Because I always knew I can cook | 136.9815 |
| 98 | | 137.5120 | cause my mother's from the south, so. | 139.2586 |
| 100 | | 140.1187 | Her southern cooking and my city | 141.7637 |
| 102 | | 142.6712 | met. But | 143.2918 |
| 104 | | 143.8156 | how it happened was, a friend knew I could cook and wanted me to cook for her- her grandmother's repass. | 148.5936 |
| 106 | | 149.0683 | I was doing it as a favor. | 150.1393 |
| 108 | | 151.0101 | Um, but | 151.6374 |
| 110 | | 151.7684 | <clears throat> when I was packing up and leaving, | 153.5017 |
| 112 | | 153.7603 | her mom came to me | 155.0049 |
| 114 | | 155.6421 | and then was like, um, | 156.6198 |
| 116 | | 157.0202 | hold on I got something for you. | 158.2213 |
| 118 | | 158.8127 | She was handing me some money. I was like, no it was a favor for your daughter. She was like, no. | 162.6731 |
| 120 | | 163.3338 | Um, take this because you did a good job. And then | 166.0147 |
| 122 | | 166.5110 | a lot of her family members were aksing me, well you have any business cards? I was like, what, no. Cause I- <laugh> | 170.7227 |
| 124 | | 171.1063 | I don't do this r- <laugh> I don't do this on a regular basis. | 173.2017 |
| 126 | | 174.0425 | So, um, | 174.9067 |
| 128 | | 175.8977 | after that, I got to thinking, I said, maybe I should. So, | 178.0239 |
| 130 | | 179.1784 | I think she had another event like a birthday party and I came with business cards | 182.8795 |
| 132 | | 183.4467 | after I did the party and I passed them out. And I guess | 185.8290 |
| 134 | | 186.5731 | word got out through them, they passed on cards to other individuals. | 189.3920 |
| 136 | | 189.7169 | Other people started finding out I can cook so I been doing it for like the last four years. | 193.1536 |
| 138 | | 193.5215 | And this was something I had never really initially | 195.5635 |
| 140 | | 195.9305 | wanted to do | 196.6412 |
| 142 | | 196.9114 | on my own. | 197.3674 |
| 143 | DCB_int_01 | 198.0459 | Hm. | 198.3328 |
| 145 | | 198.6598 | But see, it's one little- | 200.2313 |
| 146 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 200.3590 | That's all it takes. | 201.2398 |
| 147 | DCB_int_01 | 201.1964 | Just one opportunity [opens up] a door, you just never know. | 204.1727 |
| 148 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 202.7413 | [Mm.] | 203.0249 |
| 149 | | 204.2794 | Yup. | 204.5630 |

| 151 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 207.0797 | <ts> | 207.1364 |
| 152 | | 207.2698 | Uh, my mother was born in Chester, South Carolina. | 209.8512 |

| 163 | DCB_int_01 | 218.6559 | And what- what'd your parents do? | 219.9159 |
| 164 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 220.4743 | Uh, my mother sh- when she was- start working she was a, um, | 224.3156 |

| 170 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 231.8037 | Dad was | 232.9437 |
| 172 | | 233.3285 | if it was a title, Jack of all trades. He did construction, | 236.4148 |
| 174 | | 237.0730 | um, and dad worked in maintenance as well. | 239.3285 |
| 175 | DCB_int_01 | 241.8243 | Okay. | 242.2547 |
| 177 | | 242.5992 | I'm gonna- | 243.0899 |
| 179 | | 243.5735 | That's all I need to write. | 244.6508 |
| 180 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 244.8080 | Mm. | 245.0516 |
| 181 | DCB_int_01 | 245.9925 | Alright. | 246.2694 |
| 183 | | 246.6498 | So we're just gonna- | 247.4631 |
| 184 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 247.6174 | [<clears throat>] | 248.1546 |
| 185 | DCB_int_01 | 247.8943 | [kind of] just talk. Um, | 249.3432 |
| 186 | | 250.3242 | So tell me a little bit about | 251.7422 |
| 188 | | 251.8523 | Bruce Place as w- as you remember growing up. | 254.2113 |
| 189 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 255.1464 | Um, | 255.4224 |
| 191 | | 255.5268 | l- looking at it | 256.3542 |
| 193 | | 257.0018 | /I'll just say/ from other individuals from the outside, I mean, | 259.6875 |
| 195 | | 259.7609 | to them, | 260.3248 |
| 197 | | 260.4490 | it look- they | 261.1397 |
| 199 | | 261.3432 | I guess | 261.8486 |
| 201 | | 262.2041 | would see that as a bad neighborhood. | 263.8423 |
| 203 | | 264.0859 | Of course growing up | 264.9234 |
| 205 | | 265.5173 | in what they call like, the crack era which is, you know, from the eighties, | 269.1053 |
| 207 | | 269.5821 | mid-eighties on, | 270.4596 |
| 209 | | 271.0969 | um, I wasn't really exposed to that. | 272.7694 |
| 211 | | 273.4200 | I mean I had a lot of friends | 274.7279 |
| 213 | | 274.9415 | growing up that were | 276.1161 |
| 215 | | 277.3271 | I guess you would say selling drugs or in the streets, but. | 280.2374 |
| 217 | | 281.4386 | Uh, one of 'em was my older brother, | 283.0346 |
| 219 | | 283.3938 | I mean. | 283.7642 |
| 221 | | 284.1746 | But | 284.5817 |
| 223 | | 285.0263 | I think | 285.4500 |
| 225 | | 286.5110 | my personality was to- | 288.1026 |
| 227 | | 289.1102 | I learned from what- my brother not to do. I mean, that's the only thing I can say he ever taught me | 293.1373 |
| 228 | DCB_int_01 | 293.6655 | [Mm.] | 293.9748 |
| 229 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 293.7990 | [was-] | 294.3328 |
| 230 | | 294.8934 | All the wrong he done | 295.9619 |
| 232 | | 296.7193 | I didn't wanna dabble in it. | 297.5968 |
| 234 | | 297.8504 | And plus I was scared of my mother so I- <laugh> | 299.5554 |
| 235 | DCB_int_01 | 299.7422 | <laugh> | 300.0359 |
| 236 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 300.6231 | Yeah cause- I mean, growing up | 301.7809 |
| 238 | | 302.3256 | on Bruce Place, | 303.1638 |
| 240 | | 303.2698 | um, | 303.7805 |
| 242 | | 304.8614 | it was pretty m- It's five of us, it was five of us. | 306.8733 |
| 244 | | 307.4239 | I have, | 308.1179 |
| 246 | | 308.8261 | um, | 309.3466 |
| 248 | | 310.2441 | a older brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister, but my older sister passed like, two thousand two. | 314.1880 |
| 249 | DCB_int_01 | 314.3122 | Mm, sorry to hear that. | 315.1030 |
| 250 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 315.3065 | But, um, it was pretty much my mom. | 317.1083 |
| 252 | | 319.0602 | She was mom and dad at the same time. | 320.9813 |
| 254 | | 321.6675 | And growing up /?/ in- in that neighborhood, I mean, | 323.6221 |
| 256 | | 324.6031 | that was around the time, of course, | 326.0345 |
| 258 | | 326.7360 | no electronics | 327.8070 |
| 260 | | 328.1107 | at all. We was outside, all day. | 330.0092 |
| 262 | | 331.2037 | I mean, it was violence in the- the neighborhood, | 333.0897 |
| 264 | | 333.7603 | so to speak. Whereas | 334.8647 |
| 266 | | 335.0983 | that's what everybody was- | 336.2294 |
| 268 | | 336.7232 | I guess | 337.3238 |
| 270 | | 338.0912 | the gang thing was more so more fighting than shooting. | 340.4565 |
| 271 | DCB_int_01 | 341.1183 | Mm. | 341.4019 |
| 272 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 341.6321 | But, | 342.0092 |
| 274 | | 342.7199 | I mean, I never dabbled in- in, I- I never felt the need to. | 345.6869 |
| 276 | | 345.8504 | I never wanted to. | 346.7580 |
| 278 | | 347.5788 | But | 347.9124 |
| 280 | | 348.5697 | I think that | 349.2570 |
| 282 | | 350.1821 | it's a lot of things that I know I wanted as a child, | 352.9532 |
| 284 | | 353.5354 | but I was satisfied with the things that I had because I saw at a early age that | 356.6217 |
| 286 | | 357.6469 | my mother was busting her tail | 358.9327 |
| 288 | | 359.7422 | to support all of us by herself, so. | 361.8476 |
| 290 | | 362.1487 | I mean, I t- that was enough for me. | 363.6269 |
| 291 | DCB_int_01 | 364.9315 | So, | 365.4553 |
| 293 | | 365.7156 | couple of things I wanna ask you about. | 367.0769 |
| 294 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 367.0502 | Mm-hm. | 367.3555 |
| 295 | DCB_int_01 | 367.3405 | When you say you played outside, what'd y'all do? | 368.9307 |
| 296 | | 369.3165 | Like what [kind of games and stuff?] | 370.4672 |
| 297 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 369.6035 | [Uh, f- uh], | 370.4022 |
| 298 | | 370.6879 | uh, basketball, football, tag, | 373.0315 |
| 300 | | 373.8518 | um, | 374.4057 |
| 302 | | 374.9762 | I was more- more so into sports. | 376.8580 |
| 304 | | 377.0215 | I still am actually. | 378.0459 |
| 306 | | 378.4229 | But | 378.6665 |
| 308 | | 378.7999 | sports, anything then was sports. And I think back then it was a lot of rec centers | 382.0519 |
| 310 | | 382.5644 | we can go to. | 383.2384 |
| 312 | | 383.6488 | Um, of course the Boys and Girls Club. Um, | 385.9878 |
| 314 | | 386.4958 | I don't know if you remember, it was a o- o- a organization called OSAY. | 389.3552 |
| 315 | DCB_int_01 | 390.0926 | Mm-mm. | 390.4432 |
| 316 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 390.8567 | I can't remember what it stands for but it was like a- um, it was similar to the Boys and Girls Club. | 395.0783 |
| 318 | | 395.6355 | Whereas though after school you go there to do activities | 398.4849 |
| 320 | | 398.6326 | they involved you in sports, we went fishing. | 400.5911 |
| 322 | | 401.3218 | And it faded out cause I think it was funded by the- um, | 403.6708 |
| 324 | | 404.9062 | the government. I think it's a organization that, um, | 406.9948 |
| 326 | | 407.3419 | Marion Barry was affiliated with as well. | 409.2003 |
| 328 | | 409.4647 | So it was r- pretty much in like the DC- | 411.2498 |
| 330 | | 411.8871 | DC area. | 412.5878 |
| 332 | | 413.4453 | Um, | 414.0125 |
| 334 | | 415.1570 | that was pretty much it. I mean, /and/ as far as activities we played tag, football, basketball. | 419.2584 |
| 336 | | 419.9391 | Um, | 420.4229 |
| 338 | | 421.0135 | or | 421.5106 |
| 340 | | 422.4557 | in somebody yard doing something playing music or something. I mean, because | 425.5287 |
| 342 | | 426.1026 | that was when | 426.9067 |
| 344 | | 427.2904 | <clears throat> | 427.6411 |
| 346 | | 428.4457 | I guess, y- if you- if- if | 430.0873 |
| 348 | | 430.1974 | you in a- like a closed in like, neighborhood, | 432.3495 |
| 350 | | 433.3672 | um, | 433.9110 |
| 352 | | 434.2422 | you knew everybody on the entire street. | 436.0206 |
| 354 | | 436.7313 | And everybody mom knew you on the entire street. So we- | 439.3171 |
| 356 | | 440.4190 | if you did something out of order, | 441.5935 |
| 358 | | 441.9005 | you got c- <laugh> | 442.5010 |
| 360 | | 442.8414 | you got corrected from them and when you got home from your mother. | 445.5073 |

| 363 | DCB_int_01 | 448.4443 | Like what? | 448.8963 |
| 364 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 449.6054 | Um, | 450.1226 |
| 366 | | 450.4296 | involved in | 451.1736 |
| 368 | | 451.3471 | interaction [with other individuals yeah, where as though] now, you got your phone, | 454.7014 |
| 369 | DCB_int_01 | 451.8563 | [Mm-hm, okay.] | 452.3852 |
| 371 | | 452.5092 | [Mm, yeah.] | 453.4969 |
| 372 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 455.5188 | or computer or laptop, you fine | 457.1304 |
| 374 | | 457.3540 | as a child. | 457.9579 |
| 376 | | 458.2090 | We didn't have that. | 458.8129 |
| 378 | | 459.0231 | So we had to make up stuff to do. | 460.3124 |
| 380 | | 461.1885 | [Sit on a- um], somebody's porch playing that's my car. | 464.1856 |
| 381 | DCB_int_01 | 461.1885 | [<laugh>] | 462.1139 |
| 382 | | 464.4425 | <laugh> | 465.1332 |
| 383 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 465.7471 | It- when you decide to be bad, you w- I remember one time I did get in trouble. | 469.3306 |
| 385 | | 470.1989 | It was like a wooded area we went up, it was like on a hill. | 472.6180 |
| 387 | | 472.7047 | We rolled evr- <sigh> | 473.7190 |
| 389 | | 474.2996 | We used to roll tires down the hill into the street. | 476.1122 |
| 391 | | 477.2833 | I know it was- I know it was wrong. | 478.4712 |
| 393 | | 478.6980 | But still. [<laugh>] | 480.0660 |
| 394 | DCB_int_01 | 479.8125 | [So you] would sit on the hill, | 481.3706 |
| 395 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 481.6184 | /Yup./ | 481.8917 |
| 396 | DCB_int_01 | 481.8686 | wait til a [car come], and roll a tire into the street? | 483.7686 |
| 397 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 482.4592 | [<clears throat>] | 482.7562 |
| 398 | | 483.7805 | Yup, roll a tire down the hill into the street. | 485.3153 |
| 399 | DCB_int_01 | 486.1461 | So the car would hit the t- so you would try not to hit- you try to dodge the car? What- what was the objective? | 491.3687 |
| 401 | | 491.8792 | How do you [win?] | 492.6552 |
| 402 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 492.4364 | [Uh], the objective was to see if the car could stop /to/ hit on brakes before the, uh, the [tire came from- (laughing)] | 498.1428 |
| 403 | DCB_int_01 | 496.4680 | [<laugh>] | 498.6128 |
| 404 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 499.5617 | I mean, I know I was wrong. | 500.5927 |
| 406 | | 500.7161 | I know I was wrong. Stuff like that. | 502.0941 |
| 408 | | 502.8348 | Uh, throwing snowballs at the bus | 504.5332 |
| 410 | | 505.4315 | when it droves past, I mean. | 506.6027 |
| 411 | DCB_int_01 | 508.0441 | You were mischievous. [So not so] much bad just you like to cause mischief. | 512.1155 |
| 412 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 509.1752 | [Uh.] | 509.6056 |
| 414 | | 512.1155 | <clears throat> | 512.4358 |
| 415 | | 512.6827 | Um, yeah but the [funny thing is] | 514.6213 |
| 416 | DCB_int_01 | 513.9206 | [But you were bad,] | 514.7446 |
| 417 | | 514.8949 | you were bad. | 515.4688 |
| 418 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 515.7524 | I never- | 516.3830 |
| 420 | | 516.5298 | I never got a beating and I never got a punish. | 518.5860 |
| 422 | | 519.6904 | Cause I watch what- like I said what my older brother and my older sister | 522.5732 |
| 424 | | 523.0804 | all the trouble they got into, I was like, nah I'm'a do the exact opposite. | 525.8239 |
| 425 | DCB_int_01 | 526.3177 | [So you the] third. | 527.2152 |
| 426 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 526.3477 | [I've never b-] | 526.7815 |
| 427 | | 527.6056 | Yes I'm a middle child. | 528.4564 |
| 429 | | 529.1137 | And I have a younger brother and a younger sister. | 530.5593 |
| 431 | | 530.8863 | But I never got in trouble before. | 532.0774 |
| 433 | | 533.9659 | [They used to] say I was the spoiled one because I never got in trouble but I did what I was supposed to in school | 537.5402 |
| 434 | DCB_int_01 | 534.0160 | [/?/] | 534.1999 |
| 435 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 538.3310 | to the point where my mother was like, if I did something small, | 540.6566 |
| 437 | | 541.7919 | to her it wasn't as bad. | 542.9230 |
| 439 | | 543.7104 | Because I guess as a parent sometimes you weigh your options. I'm not gonna | 546.2773 |
| 441 | | 547.2639 | punish him that much, he- he doesn't never get in trouble and he does well in school. Where as though my brother | 551.1718 |
| 443 | | 551.6823 | skipped class every day, | 552.7801 |
| 445 | | 553.0303 | got suspended every week. | 553.9721 |
| 447 | | 554.0688 | So any little thing he done | 555.2500 |
| 449 | | 555.5903 | did, | 555.9476 |
| 451 | | 556.3077 | she was on top of 'em. | 557.0863 |
| 452 | DCB_int_01 | 557.6423 | Right. | 557.9316 |
| 453 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 558.0494 | Literally. | 558.5098 |
| 454 | DCB_int_01 | 559.0003 | Cause it's | 559.3673 |
| 456 | | 559.5316 | two d- I mean, you doing all this versus [oh just] one little thing. | 562.6447 |
| 457 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 561.4568 | [<clears throat>] | 561.8072 |
| 459 | | 562.5913 | Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, as a parent you gotta weigh your options. | 565.4215 |
| 460 | DCB_int_01 | 566.1556 | [So] | 566.7582 |
| 461 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 566.6227 | [As a] disciplinarian. (laughing) | 567.4272 |
| 462 | DCB_int_01 | 567.5236 | I can- I can just imagine little /RD-NAME-2/. | 569.2719 |
| 464 | | 569.8091 | I'm still going on the h- hill, cause my tire just blew out the other day. | 573.2700 |
| 465 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 573.4034 | [<laugh>] | 574.2042 |
| 466 | DCB_int_01 | 573.5436 | [Some- there was a-] there's something in the road and the car in the [other lane] | 576.7567 |
| 467 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 576.3063 | [Uh-huh.] | 576.6609 |
| 468 | DCB_int_01 | 577.2005 | ran over it and it came into my lane and hit my tire so I had to buy a new t- It blew my whole tire out. | 581.8158 |
| 469 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 581.9659 | [Wow.] | 582.2996 |
| 470 | DCB_int_01 | 582.0727 | [Like it] poked a- like the hole was this big. | 583.9387 |
| 471 | | 584.5593 | And so, then I'm just like, oh my g- Cause I can just imagine this like- So right now, | 588.4631 |
| 472 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 588.5899 | It- [it wasn't- it wasn't-] it wasn't [me, /RD-NAME-2/.] | 590.1923 |
| 473 | DCB_int_01 | 588.7534 | [you know, that's a sore-] | 589.3814 |
| 475 | | 589.9087 | [that's a-] | 590.1756 |
| 476 | | 590.2623 | that's a sore spot [right now.] | 591.3850 |
| 477 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 591.0865 | [I didn't] do it, it wasn't me. | 592.0674 |
| 478 | DCB_int_01 | 592.2643 | The- it wasn't you? [But I- I just] think that was little /RD-NAME-2/, that was little /RD-NAME-2] | 596.4725 |
| 479 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 592.9817 | [That wasn't.] | 593.5756 |
| 480 | DCB_int_01 | 596.9830 | reincarnated making my tire flat. | 598.9883 |
| 481 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 599.2552 | I mean, as a child, I mean, you- you didn't try /?/ I guess, you know, harm, you saw it as fun. | 602.9230 |
| 482 | DCB_int_01 | 600.0360 | [<laugh>] | 602.2787 |
| 483 | | 602.9864 | Yeah. | 603.3077 |
| 484 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 603.3834 | I didn't wanna harm nobody. But looking at it now I'm saying /I'm/ stupid, so. <laugh> | 606.7766 |
| 485 | DCB_int_01 | 606.7867 | I mean, as the director of safety. | 608.0822 |
| 486 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 608.0655 | Ah [yes, it is,] | 608.9297 |
| 487 | DCB_int_01 | 608.3958 | [<laugh>] | 614.9563 |
| 488 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 609.0898 | [it is, so.] | 609.7938 |
| 490 | | 611.0117 | [You made it worse.] | 611.7824 |
| 492 | | 614.5793 | [<laugh>] | 615.2066 |
| 493 | DCB_int_01 | 615.5903 | Uh, thank you director of safety. [Uh], yeah, I used to roll tires and- and try to get people to slam on [breaks, um.] | 621.3067 |

| 506 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 631.8953 | [<clears throat>] | 632.2590 |
| 508 | | 632.7895 | Yes. | 633.3442 |

| 510 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 634.6346 | The entire neighborhood. The whole block of Bruce. Because Bruce | 637.4174 |
| 512 | | 637.9554 | ran into, um, Stanton Road, | 639.9740 |
| 513 | DCB_int_01 | 640.3677 | Mm-hm. | 640.6944 |
| 514 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 640.9183 | and went all the way around to Robinson. | 642.7801 |
| 516 | | 643.7952 | And like I said from, um, knowing your neighbors, it extended from Bruce all the way around to Stanton Road, all the way around to Ro- Everybody knew everybody. | 651.1259 |
| 517 | DCB_int_01 | 652.4378 | Did y'all do anything together as like a neighbor- I mean, besides like, play did y'all like- | 656.1255 |

| 521 | | 658.2843 | did y'all like- | 658.7948 |
| 522 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 658.8315 | [Yeah it was, um,] | 659.9059 |
| 523 | DCB_int_01 | 659.0617 | [cookouts or something?] | 660.1304 |
| 524 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 660.2696 | at- um, | 661.0503 |
| 526 | | 661.3006 | <ts> | 661.3807 |
| 528 | | 661.8786 | directly across the street was the junior high school I went to, it's /RD-SCHOOL-5/. | 665.4080 |
| 530 | | 666.0360 | And they had a rec center, /RD-SCHOOL-2/ rec that like all the surrounding neighborhoods went to. Stanton Road, | 670.6447 |
| 532 | | 671.1184 | Bruce Place, | 671.8658 |
| 534 | | 672.5298 | and, um, | 673.4871 |
| 536 | | 673.8286 | like Congress Park, too, | 674.9030 |
| 538 | | 675.3134 | which is like further down, | 676.3644 |
| 540 | | 676.8482 | went to /RD-SCHOOL-2/ rec center cause every Friday | 678.7776 |
| 542 | | 678.8977 | we skated, | 679.4916 |
| 544 | | 680.1289 | or | 680.6160 |
| 546 | | 681.0898 | the rec center have some type of activities there whether it was sports, or | 684.3830 |
| 548 | | 685.1813 | anything, like, cheerleading competition | 686.8229 |
| 550 | | 687.4135 | for girls. Everything was there cause it was big enough, | 689.2815 |
| 552 | | 689.6890 | the rec center was to hold a lot of kids. | 691.6509 |
| 553 | DCB_int_01 | 692.0421 | So now going back, cause you said there was gang activity like, | 694.5979 |
| 555 | | 694.7114 | turf wars. So was that a big thing? | 696.6232 |
| 556 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 696.9703 | Yeah but usually I figure during that time I'm like, what, | 699.1599 |
| 557 | DCB_int_01 | 699.5569 | [Ten.] | 699.9173 |
| 558 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 699.7104 | [ten.] | 700.3677 |
| 559 | | 702.1561 | We didn't, I guess, | 703.2647 |
| 561 | | 704.1022 | <clears throat> interact in that directly. It w- that was for like, the older guys like my brother at age like, | 709.1412 |
| 563 | | 709.6317 | nine- from nineteen up. | 711.0298 |
| 564 | DCB_int_01 | 711.4702 | Oh okay. | 711.9155 |
| 565 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 712.0874 | Yeah, us as kids, they saw us- they'll see us, especially the ones that, you know, | 716.3761 |
| 567 | | 717.5069 | they knew it wasn't their lifestyle, we'll | 719.8158 |
| 569 | | 719.9626 | be in their area, hey y'all need to go. | 721.5516 |
| 571 | | 722.0288 | Go somewhere else. | 722.7361 |
| 573 | | 723.8639 | It was like that then, whereas though now, I mean, I /would say that's-/ | 726.2696 |
| 575 | | 726.5298 | you walk past people that don't say nothing to you or don't really care. | 728.8496 |
| 577 | | 729.6103 | Whereas though back then the older guys, they'll see us, the ones- the guys- | 732.6833 |
| 579 | | 732.8276 | the younger guys, you know, that- they know we into sports | 735.1065 |
| 581 | | 735.6070 | and we don't deal in that type of activity. | 737.2052 |
| 583 | | 737.7090 | They used to tell us, and I've been told that as well, | 739.6584 |
| 585 | | 740.0555 | we're walking in the area about to go play football, no, y'all can't come over here. | 743.3420 |
| 587 | | 744.0527 | Go back that way. | 744.7901 |
| 589 | | 745.2280 | We knew what it meant, so we- okay, | 746.5726 |
| 591 | | 746.7428 | we leave, | 747.2967 |
| 593 | | 747.6504 | go about our business. | 748.4978 |
| 594 | DCB_int_01 | 748.7648 | Cause they know something about to pop [off.] | 750.3830 |
| 595 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 750.1962 | [Exactly], yeah. | 751.0070 |
| 596 | | 751.2480 | Or we shouldn't be in that area at the time. | 752.7995 |
| 597 | DCB_int_01 | 753.9607 | Oh wow. So everybody kind of looked out for everybody. | 756.3029 |
| 598 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 756.3029 | Exactly, yeah. | 757.1337 |
| 599 | | 757.2313 | In all the neighborhoods. Cause like I said, everybody knew- | 759.3701 |
| 601 | | 759.6137 | I mean, the neighborhoods were that close where | 761.4688 |
| 603 | | 762.0026 | I can walk | 762.6433 |
| 605 | | 762.9144 | across the s- like the, um, football field, | 764.8896 |
| 607 | | 765.4935 | and I'm at, um, what's that, it's called Robinson Street. | 768.2028 |
| 609 | | 769.0612 | Um, | 769.5183 |
| 611 | | 770.4392 | and it's been instances where Bruce Street and Robinson Street, somebody from that area, from- somebody from my area | 775.7610 |
| 613 | | 776.6861 | was- um, had conflict at the time. | 778.2643 |
| 615 | | 779.0551 | And it's like, if you walk over there, it's like a five minute walk. | 781.2005 |
| 617 | | 781.8119 | That's how close it was. | 782.6894 |
| 618 | DCB_int_01 | 783.1932 | Mm. | 783.4602 |
| 619 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 783.5736 | Cause everybody was into- And some are like that now, | 786.0660 |
| 621 | | 786.6199 | I guess claiming the street that you're from, which I never really understood and saw the point of it, but. | 790.7281 |
| 623 | | 790.8615 | Cause it's not your street, [so. <laugh>] | 792.1361 |
| 624 | DCB_int_01 | 791.6023 | [<laugh>] | 792.6499 |
| 625 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 793.0804 | But they were into that then. | 793.8745 |
| 626 | DCB_int_01 | 794.1622 | Right. | 794.4992 |
| 627 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 794.7428 | So. | 795.0331 |
| 628 | DCB_int_01 | 795.6003 | So tell me about school. | 796.9249 |
| 630 | | 797.1118 | <clears throat> Cause- | 797.8825 |
| 632 | | 798.1828 | Elementary school, let's start there, where'd you go to elementary school? | 800.5059 |
| 633 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 800.4525 | I- | 800.5426 |
| 634 | | 800.6260 | elementary I went to Malcolm X. | 802.0405 |
| 635 | DCB_int_01 | 802.2943 | Okay. | 802.6280 |
| 636 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 802.7648 | I went to Malcolm X, um, | 804.2662 |
| 638 | | 804.7600 | <ts> | 804.8468 |
| 640 | | 805.8419 | Left there and went to Johnson | 807.4902 |
| 642 | | 807.9039 | which was- | 808.6380 |
| 644 | | 808.9183 | if I walked to school, it took two minutes. | 810.6032 |
| 646 | | 810.7609 | So I had no excuse for being late. | 812.3257 |
| 647 | DCB_int_01 | 813.1999 | <laugh> | 813.7266 |
| 648 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 814.0040 | Um, I mean, the most fun I ever had | 816.0627 |
| 650 | | 816.3230 | was in junior high school, I mean because | 818.3758 |
| 652 | | 820.7014 | in elementary school I was kind of quiet, laid back. | 823.1137 |
| 654 | | 824.0288 | All I did was draw. | 824.8863 |
| 656 | | 826.0274 | I still draw sometimes, but | 827.4741 |
| 658 | | 827.6423 | that's all I did in the elementary school my mother used to tell me, was draw. In the house, | 830.4525 |
| 660 | | 830.8729 | if I'm not playing sports, I'm drawing somewhere. | 832.6780 |
| 662 | | 833.4388 | But junior high school, | 834.4631 |
| 664 | | 834.7000 | you know, the older you get, | 835.6943 |
| 666 | | 836.0855 | the more you observe, | 836.9997 |
| 668 | | 837.9340 | uh, | 838.6346 |
| 670 | | 838.8682 | the more you take a liking to girls. | 840.6266 |
| 672 | | 840.9177 | [So], (laughing) | 841.4015 |
| 673 | DCB_int_01 | 841.0612 | [<laugh>] | 841.9887 |
| 674 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 841.9620 | that little shell you in, you | 843.2900 |
| 675 | | 843.4869 | quickly come out of it. | 844.3869 |
| 677 | | 845.3520 | Um, | 845.8692 |
| 679 | | 847.2605 | and I- and I think that's when I had the best teachers, I mean, cause | 849.6470 |
| 681 | | 850.8715 | back then, majority of teachers were nowhere near your age. | 853.3214 |
| 683 | | 854.1756 | Way older. | 855.0164 |
| 685 | | 855.2633 | Cause if you figure you in junior high school you like, what, | 857.4254 |
| 687 | | 858.4464 | fifteen, | 859.1838 |
| 689 | | 859.5750 | fourteen, something like that? | 860.5960 |
| 691 | | 860.8362 | Teachers was in their fifties and sixties. | 862.4445 |
| 692 | DCB_int_01 | 863.0117 | Oh wow. | 863.6356 |
| 693 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 863.7324 | Yeah, teachers were older and experienced. | 865.8878 |
| 695 | | 866.8229 | And it was more- um, | 868.4545 |
| 697 | | 870.0827 | more interaction with the kids there and in elementary school. You know, they used to w- they had the, um, | 874.2309 |
| 699 | | 874.6413 | the green light to discipline a student. | 875.9226 |
| 700 | DCB_int_01 | 876.0460 | Mm-hm. | 876.4194 |
| 701 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 876.8443 | [Whereas though n-] | 877.3856 |
| 702 | DCB_int_01 | 876.8943 | [Paddle.] | 877.2647 |
| 703 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 877.5149 | Yeah, | 877.8052 |
| 705 | | 877.9387 | /praddle/, I got it on my hand a couple times. | 879.7972 |
| 707 | | 880.8115 | Um, whereas though now, it's the exact opposite, but. | 883.3348 |
| 709 | | 884.1923 | Junior high school I think was my best years. And from there, I went to | 887.2386 |
| 711 | | 887.6923 | /RD-SCHOOL-2/. I was supposed to go to /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 889.5775 |
| 713 | | 890.4792 | But, | 890.7862 |
| 715 | | 891.5936 | I mean, because of the, um, | 892.8048 |
| 717 | | 893.5422 | what is that called, like the boundary rules? Because I could actually walk to /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 896.4525 |
| 719 | | 896.8930 | But I wanted to go to /RD-SCHOOL-2/ because I heard it was a better school. | 899.6656 |
| 721 | | 900.1828 | And at the time, my grades let me go there. Cause I wasn't supposed to go there. | 903.0665 |
| 723 | | 903.2800 | But because of my grades they let me go. | 904.8148 |
| 725 | | 905.0817 | And I wanted to play football there. | 906.2462 |
| 726 | DCB_int_01 | 906.8568 | They had a better football team? | 907.8544 |
| 727 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 908.5693 | Uh, I thought they did. | 909.7505 |
| 729 | | 910.4545 | But <laugh> | 911.1919 |
| 730 | DCB_int_01 | 911.3654 | <laugh> | 911.9392 |
| 731 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 912.4064 | found out very quickly the exact opposite when I got there. | 914.7862 |
| 733 | | 915.0598 | But I stayed though. | 915.7447 |
| 735 | | 915.8873 | They had a- we had a better basketball team though. | 917.4037 |
| 736 | DCB_int_01 | 917.7357 | Did you play basketball too? | 918.5832 |
| 737 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 918.5899 | Yeah. | 918.7867 |
| 739 | | 918.9636 | Football and basketball. | 919.7844 |
| 740 | DCB_int_01 | 920.5493 | Okay so you had to give up one for the other. | 922.1809 |
| 741 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 922.1108 | <ts> | 922.1842 |
| 742 | | 922.3410 | Yeah. | 922.5944 |
| 743 | DCB_int_01 | 923.0217 | So tell me about- | 923.7991 |
| 745 | | 923.9726 | <clears throat> | 924.2819 |
| 747 | | 924.8568 | tell me about your most fun time in school? | 927.8572 |
| 748 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 928.7548 | Um, | 929.3520 |
| 750 | | 931.1204 | m- m- just like at home I was a class clown in school. | 933.4702 |
| 751 | DCB_int_01 | 933.8639 | I can believe it. | 934.6747 |
| 752 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 934.9516 | But | 935.3090 |
| 754 | | 935.8825 | it was to the point where I never disre- I did my work | 938.2790 |
| 756 | | 938.7161 | all the time. And I think that's why | 940.2209 |
| 758 | | 940.6380 | a lot of teachers let- let me get away with a lot of stuff because- | 943.2238 |
| 760 | | 943.9420 | And half the time I was making them laugh too so they couldn't get- put me out of class. | 947.0384 |
| 762 | | 947.1518 | I was never disrespectful though. | 948.3096 |
| 764 | | 949.3973 | But, um, | 950.2023 |
| 766 | | 951.2066 | I joked a lot in class. | 952.4378 |
| 768 | | 952.9216 | a whole lot in class. | 953.9669 |
| 770 | | 954.7867 | I never got put out but I was one of the ones, you- you joking with me, | 957.4961 |
| 772 | | 958.0140 | my work's done, your's not. | 959.2719 |
| 774 | | 959.5422 | But you gonna get in trouble, I'm not. | 960.7000 |
| 776 | | 962.1222 | And it was always like that. | 963.1699 |
| 778 | | 964.0107 | And I think | 964.4611 |
| 780 | | 964.6413 | I had so much fun | 965.6656 |
| 782 | | 966.4965 | in junior high school and high school because- | 968.4859 |
| 784 | | 969.4168 | And when I went to, um, /RD-SCHOOL-2/, | 970.8148 |
| 786 | | 971.9659 | and I think that's another reason why my mother really wanted me to go there, | 974.6594 |
| 788 | | 975.1866 | I didn't know nobody there. | 976.1842 |
| 789 | DCB_int_01 | 976.8248 | Mm. | 977.0684 |
| 790 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 977.1885 | Because everybody I knew from junior high school | 979.5141 |
| 792 | | 980.3691 | and everybody in my neighborhood | 981.8539 |
| 794 | | 982.2343 | went to /RD-SCHOOL-2/ | 982.9142 |
| 796 | | 983.1385 | because it was closer. | 983.9860 |
| 798 | | 984.7967 | /RD-SCHOOL-2/ had to catch a bus to get to. It w- wasn't that far, but still. | 987.8172 |
| 800 | | 988.9850 | I didn't r- I didn't- when at that- out of that entire school I only knew like two people when I first got there. | 992.5761 |
| 801 | DCB_int_01 | 993.6203 | At /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 994.1283 |
| 802 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 994.1642 | At /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 994.6413 |
| 804 | | 994.9316 | Didn't know nobody. | 995.7190 |
| 806 | | 996.2963 | And she thought it was better for me, I think it was too, I mean, [because] | 998.9430 |
| 807 | DCB_int_01 | 998.4926 | [Mm-hm.] | 998.9597 |
| 808 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 999.3901 | I don't think I was the type to follow behind anybody, but she just wanted to make sure that I didn't | 1003.3640 |
| 810 | | 1003.6050 | follow that route. | 1004.1923 |
| 811 | DCB_int_01 | 1004.7962 | Right. | 1005.0722 |
| 812 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1005.1495 | [Because it was nobody] to follow behind because | 1006.9149 |
| 813 | DCB_int_01 | 1005.1699 | [/Nah-/] | 1005.6737 |
| 814 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1007.2085 | [you don't-] | 1007.4819 |
| 815 | DCB_int_01 | 1007.2286 | [You don't know nobody.] | 1007.8058 |
| 816 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1007.6023 | [you don't] know nobody, nah. | 1008.5142 |
| 817 | | 1009.1905 | So, I mean, I- I- I loved- I loved high school though. | 1011.2745 |
| 819 | | 1012.0608 | I- um, | 1012.6346 |
| 821 | | 1015.0703 | my first year I didn't play any sports, | 1016.9096 |
| 823 | | 1017.6203 | cause I was kind of hesitant. | 1018.6780 |
| 825 | | 1018.8649 | Because, I mean, I've- | 1019.5656 |
| 827 | | 1020.7119 | Plus you know, now I'm | 1021.4240 |
| 829 | | 1021.6918 | kind of tall. I was tall for my age. | 1023.3467 |
| 830 | DCB_int_01 | 1023.7271 | [Mm-hm.] | 1024.0908 |
| 831 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1023.8172 | [So going] there, | 1024.6212 |
| 832 | | 1024.9616 | I'm tall, | 1025.5989 |
| 834 | | 1026.1928 | guys in the twelfth grade, some of 'em, | 1027.8553 |
| 836 | | 1028.2690 | my- my height. | 1029.1899 |
| 838 | | 1029.8906 | They looking at me like, /?/ | 1030.8782 |
| 840 | | 1031.6923 | when you- when- when you get here? | 1032.8768 |
| 842 | | 1033.3673 | But I was like, man I'm in the, um, tenth grade. | 1035.1932 |
| 844 | | 1035.9907 | You are? | 1036.3811 |
| 846 | | 1036.8148 | Why you not playing sports? Oh, I didn't want to. | 1038.6032 |
| 848 | | 1039.6242 | So I didn't play until my second year. | 1040.9297 |
| 849 | DCB_int_01 | 1042.6380 | And then | 1043.3553 |
| 851 | | 1044.2496 | were you on varsity? | 1044.9903 |
| 852 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1045.5275 | Uh, second year yeah I was. | 1046.7662 |
| 854 | | 1047.1365 | Varsity basketball, football though, the football team was I felt- | 1050.2362 |
| 856 | | 1051.3139 | um, it was a couple of players that was there | 1053.2466 |
| 858 | | 1053.6637 | last year, | 1054.2876 |
| 860 | | 1054.9316 | the year before, that should've graduated. | 1056.2544 |
| 862 | | 1056.5699 | So, | 1056.8868 |
| 864 | | 1057.8453 | stayed on the team. | 1058.6527 |
| 866 | | 1059.8105 | So, | 1060.2242 |
| 868 | | 1060.5179 | I played m- majority, um, | 1062.2729 |
| 870 | | 1062.8234 | my last two years basketball. I didn't play that much football. I should've but I didn't. | 1066.0574 |

| 911 | | 1112.4091 | And he knew- remembered me from playing | 1114.2276 |
| 913 | | 1115.5055 | in junior high school. | 1116.4364 |
| 915 | | 1116.5532 | And when he saw me, he was like, man why you ain't try out for the team? | 1118.7094 |
| 917 | | 1119.2366 | Was like, I ain't- | 1119.7037 |
| 919 | | 1119.9073 | nah, I ain't want to, I'm'a wait the next year. | 1121.5055 |
| 921 | | 1122.8401 | But I love basketball, I still love basketball. | 1124.8062 |
| 923 | | 1125.4735 | I still play basketball. | 1126.5546 |
| 925 | | 1127.1051 | And I think the coach that I had there | 1128.6399 |
| 927 | | 1129.9153 | <clears throat> we didn't really s- | 1131.2900 |
| 929 | | 1131.4902 | I guess | 1132.0174 |
| 931 | | 1133.4187 | see eye to eye on certain things because he wanted me to play a position I didn't wanna play. | 1136.8763 |
| 932 | DCB_int_01 | 1137.3634 | What position? | 1137.8606 |
| 933 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1137.8239 | Center. | 1138.2076 |
| 934 | DCB_int_01 | 1138.7881 | I was gonna ask were you a center. | 1139.8959 |
| 935 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1139.9192 | Yeah. | 1140.1595 |
| 936 | DCB_int_01 | 1140.1161 | What'd you wanna play, power forward? | 1141.1679 |
| 937 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1141.3047 | Uh, [yes.] | 1141.8914 |
| 938 | DCB_int_01 | 1141.6150 | [Or small] forward? | 1142.2417 |
| 939 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1143.0097 | Uh, power forward, small four. | 1144.5194 |
| 941 | | 1144.8248 | I mean, because [of cour-] | 1145.7702 |
| 942 | DCB_int_01 | 1145.3662 | [So four] or five. | 1146.2088 |
| 943 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1146.4472 | [Yeah.] | 1146.7006 |
| 944 | DCB_int_01 | 1146.6040 | [You just] didn't wanna play three. | 1147.4457 |
| 945 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1147.4682 | No I did not. | 1148.0855 |
| 947 | | 1148.7770 | Because | 1149.3943 |
| 949 | | 1149.8047 | of course now, | 1150.5153 |
| 951 | | 1151.4830 | the height I'm at now, if I was going to the NBA I'm considered short. | 1154.0200 |
| 953 | | 1154.5868 | Six four, | 1155.1015 |
| 955 | | 1155.3509 | this is not that tall [in the NBA.] | 1156.6154 |
| 956 | DCB_int_01 | 1156.1416 | [You point] guard. | 1156.9758 |
| 957 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1157.5230 | [Pretty much.] | 1158.1350 |
| 958 | DCB_int_01 | 1157.6898 | [<laugh>] | 1158.0568 |
| 959 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1158.3638 | So [imagine me-] | 1159.3481 |
| 960 | DCB_int_01 | 1158.5573 | [<laugh>] | 1159.4382 |
| 961 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1159.4457 | I mean, I- I knew I was kind of tall for, uh, high school. | 1161.9749 |
| 963 | | 1162.2384 | I was like, man I didn't wanna play center. | 1163.5063 |
| 965 | | 1164.4839 | I didn't because | 1165.4349 |
| 967 | | 1166.5801 | center don't have the ball that much. | 1168.0682 |
| 969 | | 1169.1226 | You get the ball occasionally when you in the post, I mean, but | 1171.4749 |
| 971 | | 1171.7460 | I didn't wanna play it. But now, | 1173.2241 |
| 973 | | 1173.6712 | looking at it, | 1174.2618 |
| 975 | | 1174.8290 | I shoulda want to play it more because me playing center | 1177.2836 |
| 977 | | 1178.4734 | the average guy that was checking me was bigger and slower. | 1180.7456 |
| 978 | DCB_int_01 | 1181.2394 | Mm-hm. | 1181.6474 |
| 979 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1181.6998 | He saw that as advantage, | 1182.9577 |
| 981 | | 1183.1346 | I saw it as me not getting the ball all the time. | 1184.8437 |
| 982 | DCB_int_01 | 1185.0072 | Right. | 1185.3642 |
| 984 | | 1185.7646 | [And he] saw it as making you- | 1186.9991 |
| 985 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1185.7713 | [So-] | 1186.0073 |

| 1002 | | 1202.3265 | I've never liked another team that's outside of the area. | 1204.5254 |
| 1003 | DCB_int_01 | 1204.7189 | So you're a Wizards fan? | 1205.7789 |

| 1016 | | 1215.9748 | preseason game the other day, he was real good. | 1217.4029 |

| 1033 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1236.4339 | [I usually go to StubHub], yeah. | 1237.5783 |
| 1034 | DCB_int_01 | 1237.5783 | /??/ | 1237.8319 |
| 1036 | | 1238.1564 | Cheap. | 1238.4934 |
| 1038 | | 1238.6435 | I paid | 1239.2975 |
| 1040 | | 1239.6478 | six bucks | 1240.5487 |
| 1042 | | 1240.7122 | for tickets. [Um], | 1242.2437 |
| 1043 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1241.6631 | [Mm-hm.] | 1242.0498 |
| 1044 | DCB_int_01 | 1242.5573 | It was a Chinese team on Monday. | 1244.2156 |
| 1045 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1244.2098 | Yeah I- I heard, I heard, [yeah.] | 1245.3442 |
| 1046 | DCB_int_01 | 1245.1140 | [But they] were g- Jodie Meeks showed | 1247.0425 |
| 1047 | | 1247.3428 | [out.] | 1248.0035 |
| 1048 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1247.8667 | [Really?] | 1248.2337 |
| 1049 | DCB_int_01 | 1248.9711 | I mean. | 1249.5149 |
| 1050 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1249.6225 | /?/ they beat 'em by like what, thirty or something like [that?] | 1251.5911 |
| 1051 | DCB_int_01 | 1251.4410 | [Yeah], it was kind of- I mean, we coulda [left- we coulda-] | 1253.4753 |
| 1052 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1252.6855 | [<laugh>] | 1254.2704 |
| 1053 | DCB_int_01 | 1254.0402 | [<laugh>] | 1254.8855 |
| 1054 | | 1255.5717 | we coulda left in third quarter. | 1256.9805 |
| 1056 | | 1257.1607 | But what do you think about- | 1257.9087 |
| 1058 | | 1258.1316 | think about the outlook of the season? Think how- how they- h- for you how they end the season and then what you think is gonna happen for this season. | 1263.3042 |
| 1059 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1263.2942 | I think the way they ended the seas- season last year a lot of- a lot of people are | 1266.8910 |
| 1060 | | 1267.0612 | I guess on the edge of they seats because they coulda easily won | 1269.9982 |
| 1062 | | 1270.4586 | and- and went on to the next series and played, um, | 1272.6441 |
| 1064 | | 1273.5316 | Cleveland. | 1273.9689 |
| 1066 | | 1274.7369 | This year, | 1275.3776 |
| 1068 | | 1276.3919 | I still s- | 1276.9191 |
| 1070 | | 1277.1159 | I still think they have the same chance. But, | 1278.7879 |
| 1072 | | 1279.5349 | you know, Cleveland has restocked, | 1280.9038 |
| 1074 | | 1281.0573 | Boston. | 1281.8547 |
| 1076 | | 1282.2618 | I mean, all the other teams | 1283.4663 |
| 1078 | | 1284.1670 | they lost a lot of good players but they gained a lot of good players as well. | 1286.8704 |
| 1080 | | 1287.4176 | I- I think they chances are good. I mean, I was real disappointed last year, though, | 1290.2591 |
| 1082 | | 1290.7108 | losing to Boston | 1291.4794 |
| 1084 | | 1291.6259 | in Boston /where-/ | 1292.4633 |
| 1085 | DCB_int_01 | 1292.5067 | Game seven? | 1293.1507 |
| 1086 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1293.5177 | Yes. | 1293.8614 |
| 1087 | DCB_int_01 | 1293.8380 | Hm. | 1294.1350 |
| 1088 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1294.2017 | Hurts even more | 1295.0292 |
| 1090 | | 1295.8333 | [because it was-] | 1296.3204 |
| 1091 | DCB_int_01 | 1295.9467 | [But game] six was [good.] | 1297.6670 |
| 1092 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1297.5183 | [Yes] it was. I was [at that game too.] | 1299.0940 |
| 1093 | DCB_int_01 | 1298.4387 | [John Wall.] | 1299.4610 |
| 1094 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1299.6765 | I was at that game. | 1300.4773 |
| 1096 | | 1301.3957 | But, um, | 1302.0797 |
| 1098 | | 1302.5501 | I think their chances are better this year. I mean, that's- it's good to see them making the playoffs every year, because growing up | 1307.5283 |
| 1100 | | 1307.6760 | watching the Bullets, | 1308.4801 |
| 1102 | | 1309.5144 | you pretty much was going to the arena to watch the other team. | 1312.3064 |
| 1103 | DCB_int_01 | 1312.5741 | Mm-hm. | 1312.9144 |
| 1105 | | 1313.1847 | Oh. | 1313.4591 |
| 1106 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1314.7070 | Because they wasn't that good. | 1315.7046 |
| 1108 | | 1317.0659 | At all. | 1317.4763 |
| 1109 | DCB_int_01 | 1318.2638 | No, but right- so, right when you were born though wasn't that Phil Chenier, wasn't that the year? | 1323.4196 |
| 1110 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1323.4330 | Yeah that's [when- well, you know, w- when I was-] | 1325.0761 |
| 1111 | DCB_int_01 | 1323.9301 | [That was- but you were] like, three. | 1325.6251 |
| 1112 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1325.6318 | [Yeah so I didn't know nothing.] | 1326.5744 |
| 1113 | DCB_int_01 | 1325.8294 | [So it- it didn't matter, yeah.] | 1327.3472 |
| 1114 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1326.8604 | [I'm talking about] the eighties. | 1327.9849 |
| 1115 | DCB_int_01 | 1328.4820 | When they went just all the way [down hill.] | 1330.0869 |
| 1116 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1329.5831 | [Yeah.] | 1329.8867 |
| 1117 | | 1330.4906 | At the Capital Center, yeah I remember that. | 1331.9963 |
| 1119 | | 1332.6002 | Eighties and early nineties. | 1333.7280 |
| 1120 | DCB_int_01 | 1334.4687 | /inaudible/ | 1335.2594 |
| 1121 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1335.2695 | Every year, | 1335.7366 |
| 1123 | | 1336.0235 | so. | 1336.2738 |
| 1124 | DCB_int_01 | 1337.1446 | But now there's hope. | 1338.0321 |
| 1126 | | 1338.2699 | Okay so talk about Bo- but think about Boston, they've re-tooled. | 1341.3429 |
| 1128 | | 1341.4596 | I'm not sure Kyrie Irving is a better choice than Isaiah Thomas. | 1344.9839 |
| 1130 | | 1345.2408 | Only because chemistry matters, | 1346.6255 |
| 1132 | | 1346.9024 | then you got Gordon Hayward coming [and then they] lost some of their defensive prowess. | 1350.2022 |
| 1133 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1348.1470 | [Mm-hm.] | 1348.4640 |
| 1134 | DCB_int_01 | 1350.5301 | I don't know. | 1351.0673 |
| 1135 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1351.4377 | I- I don't- I don't think Boston is gonna be as good everybody think they are, mainly because | 1354.9591 |
| 1137 | | 1356.4463 | Kyrie is a player that ha- has the w- got to have the ball, that's why he left. | 1360.0101 |
| 1139 | | 1360.6742 | He want the ball in his hands all the time. | 1362.2465 |
| 1141 | | 1362.7637 | And the type of offense that they s- the coach run, Stevens run, | 1365.3929 |
| 1143 | | 1366.3872 | everybody gets the ball. | 1367.3048 |
| 1145 | | 1367.5659 | And then they lost two players, | 1368.7804 |
| 1147 | | 1369.7146 | two good defensive players | 1371.0693 |
| 1148 | DCB_int_01 | 1371.1627 | Mm-hm. | 1371.7466 |
| 1149 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1371.9234 | that went to other teams, so the chemistry gonna be off, I think. | 1374.2457 |
| 1150 | DCB_int_01 | 1374.7537 | Yup. | 1375.0173 |
| 1151 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1375.2075 | That's why I think it's gonna be a- better for the Wizards right now cause they have the same core players. | 1378.8276 |
| 1153 | | 1379.3615 | They added a couple players, so | 1380.6703 |
| 1155 | | 1381.0106 | they should be better. | 1381.7179 |
| 1156 | DCB_int_01 | 1382.6589 | What about Cleveland, what you think? | 1383.6999 |
| 1157 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1383.8867 | I- man, you know, <sigh> | 1384.9711 |
| 1159 | | 1385.6251 | I don't like LeBron but as long as he's playing, he's- | 1387.9282 |
| 1161 | | 1388.3552 | he has to be a favorite. | 1389.3295 |
| 1163 | | 1389.9668 | I mean, that's how good he is. And because | 1391.2414 |
| 1165 | | 1391.7060 | they lost | 1392.4801 |
| 1167 | | 1393.2508 | Kyrie but they gained | 1394.5221 |
| 1169 | | 1395.1627 | a lot too. | 1395.8033 |
| 1171 | | 1396.2971 | Derrick Rose, | 1397.1613 |
| 1173 | | 1398.3166 | he's gonna [help.] | 1398.9605 |
| 1174 | DCB_int_01 | 1398.7136 | [Sh-] show me what Derrick Rose did in New York | 1401.0203 |
| 1175 | | 1401.4963 | to tell me- | 1402.2830 |
| 1177 | | 1402.6408 | to make me feel better about him being in Cleveland. | 1404.8438 |
| 1178 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1405.0373 | Uh, you know what the biggest difference is gonna be? | 1406.9825 |
| 1180 | | 1407.4963 | He got somebody that's unselfish that will give him the ball. | 1410.1556 |
| 1181 | DCB_int_01 | 1410.4067 | Who? | 1410.6787 |
| 1182 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1411.1908 | LeBron. | 1411.6145 |
| 1184 | | 1413.0926 | Whereas though | 1413.8133 |
| 1186 | | 1414.0860 | /???/ New York, everybody, their whole offense was based off one on one playing, one on one, um, when they got the ball. | 1419.2861 |
| 1188 | | 1419.4663 | Carmelo, | 1420.0102 |
| 1190 | | 1421.5951 | he has that /unintelligible/ (laughing) | 1422.6436 |
| 1192 | | 1423.0573 | He's a ball hog. | 1423.7413 |
| 1194 | | 1423.8848 | He's good, but he's a ball hog. | 1425.0726 |
| 1196 | | 1425.6331 | Whereas though in Cleveland, I mean, they got a lot of players. Everybody just gonna get their touches. | 1428.7737 |
| 1198 | | 1429.3009 | That's why Kyrie- I mean, guess why Kyrie left, cause he wants to be the person | 1432.5474 |
| 1200 | | 1433.3715 | who has the ball in his hands at all times. | 1435.1474 |
| 1201 | DCB_int_01 | 1437.2428 | Cleveland looks good on paper, right? You got Derrick Rose, you got LeBron, you got | 1441.2175 |
| 1203 | | 1441.4877 | D Wade. | 1442.1584 |
| 1204 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1442.2651 | Isaiah Thomas. | 1443.0459 |
| 1205 | DCB_int_01 | 1444.7042 | But when you put all that- | 1445.8294 |
| 1207 | | 1446.1164 | but now | 1446.6769 |
| 1209 | | 1446.8838 | to me sometimes [having too] much superstar | 1449.1226 |
| 1210 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1447.7179 | [<clears throat>] | 1448.1517 |
| 1211 | | 1449.2194 | Mm-hm. | 1449.5330 |
| 1212 | DCB_int_01 | 1449.4897 | power, | 1450.0169 |
| 1213 | | 1450.7909 | that's too many- | 1451.4049 |
| 1215 | | 1451.5892 | that's too many cooks in the kitchen. | 1453.2575 |
| 1216 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1453.3776 | Uh, y- know what, you're absolutely right because it g- it might get to a point your team has no identity at all. | 1458.1523 |
| 1218 | | 1458.7770 | Prime example when the Lakers had Karl Malone, | 1461.0225 |
| 1220 | | 1461.2628 | Gary Payton, and all- Kobe and Shaq. | 1463.6459 |
| 1222 | | 1464.0897 | They got swept by the Pistons in the playoffs. | 1465.8681 |
| 1223 | DCB_int_01 | 1465.8748 | Because | 1466.2284 |
| 1225 | | 1466.5154 | everybody wanted to be the guy. | 1468.2204 |
| 1226 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1468.2104 | Yup, | 1468.4773 |
| 1227 | | 1468.5874 | and it don't work all the time. | 1469.6151 |
| 1228 | DCB_int_01 | 1469.7218 | Mm-mm. | 1470.2590 |
| 1230 | | 1470.5268 | That's why they had that whole- Think about when John Wall and Bradley Beal kind of had they little | 1473.7533 |
| 1232 | | 1474.0369 | tiff, [right?] | 1474.6375 |
| 1233 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1474.5073 | [Yeah.] | 1474.7843 |
| 1234 | DCB_int_01 | 1475.1179 | But then when Bradley Beal conceded and said, this is John Wall's team, | 1478.0116 |
| 1235 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1478.0316 | Mm-hm. | 1478.3753 |
| 1236 | DCB_int_01 | 1478.3452 | but we the- we're the back court, | 1479.9692 |
| 1237 | | 1480.9144 | think about where they went after that. | 1483.3176 |
| 1239 | | 1484.3686 | Cleveland, | 1485.0125 |
| 1241 | | 1485.3195 | they all over the place, [it's a mess.] | 1487.3448 |
| 1242 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1486.4306 | [Yes they are.] | 1487.0919 |
| 1243 | | 1487.7252 | I don't- I- | 1488.0522 |
| 1245 | | 1488.4500 | I think it might- I mean, just cause LeBron on the team I think it might work, but | 1491.4763 |
| 1247 | | 1491.6732 | can the Wizards beat 'em? | 1492.5207 |
| 1249 | | 1492.8477 | I think so. | 1493.4991 |
| 1251 | | 1494.1631 | I hope so. | 1494.6938 |
| 1252 | DCB_int_01 | 1494.7270 | I think they're vulnerable, I think they're vulnerable more than they've been in the last couple of [years.] | 1498.9578 |
| 1253 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1498.4673 | [They coulda beat] 'em last year I think. | 1499.7886 |
| 1254 | DCB_int_01 | 1499.8753 | I think so too. | 1500.5368 |
| 1255 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1500.6603 | Better match up than Boston- (laughing) [Boston was.] | 1502.5955 |
| 1256 | DCB_int_01 | 1502.1083 | [That February] game was [crazy.] | 1505.0912 |
| 1257 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1504.4640 | [Yes it was], yeah. | 1505.5413 |
| 1258 | DCB_int_01 | 1505.8286 | Were you there? | 1506.3533 |
| 1259 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1506.3533 | Mm, nah I didn't go to that game, I wish I was though. | 1508.4754 |
| 1260 | DCB_int_01 | 1508.6555 | <ts> I had a | 1509.1994 |
| 1262 | | 1509.4063 | dinner that night so I couldn't go but we watched, it was crazy. | 1513.3433 |
| 1263 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1513.5978 | And then they- | 1514.1884 |
| 1265 | | 1514.2818 | couple of months- like a month later they went to Cleveland, | 1516.2704 |
| 1267 | | 1516.4206 | b- beat the brakes off /of 'em/. | 1517.7212 |
| 1268 | DCB_int_01 | 1518.6269 | [Yup.] | 1518.9038 |
| 1269 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1518.7003 | [So.] | 1519.0643 |
| 1270 | DCB_int_01 | 1519.5878 | What about the Redskins? | 1520.8557 |
| 1272 | | 1521.2828 | Tell me- | 1521.6331 |
| 1274 | | 1521.8267 | talk about- talk about football. Cause football is [your heart, it seems.] | 1525.2341 |
| 1275 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1523.9596 | <clears throat> Y- yeah, it is], it is. | 1526.0142 |
| 1276 | | 1526.6122 | I- um, | 1527.2461 |
| 1278 | | 1529.1421 | I mean, they're better this year, especially de- on the defensive side, cause the def- defense has been terrible | 1533.7466 |
| 1280 | | 1534.6041 | for the last | 1535.1746 |
| 1282 | | 1535.4090 | what, decade probably. | 1536.6135 |
| 1283 | DCB_int_01 | 1536.5902 | <laugh> | 1537.6312 |
| 1284 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1537.5878 | But I think- | 1538.3798 |
| 1285 | | 1539.6231 | I think they have a good chance this year because it's no like, super team this year. | 1542.6073 |
| 1287 | | 1543.2909 | Everybody's losing to everybody. | 1544.6288 |
| 1289 | | 1545.2928 | But I think the games that's coming up they gotta take advantage of | 1548.1598 |
| 1291 | | 1548.9472 | and win. | 1549.4143 |
| 1293 | | 1549.7847 | Cause they play what, the forty-niners? | 1551.1780 |
| 1295 | | 1552.2271 | Game like that they should be dominate- And it's good that they have a bye this week | 1555.0440 |
| 1297 | | 1555.5611 | all the injuries they got. | 1556.6422 |
| 1299 | | 1557.9501 | <clears throat> I think they should make the playoffs. Do I think they gonna go far | 1560.6954 |
| 1301 | | 1560.7755 | with the team they got? | 1561.5578 |
| 1303 | | 1561.8114 | I don't know yet. | 1562.3567 |
| 1305 | | 1563.5431 | Cause them- it's the same thing with them. | 1565.3217 |
| 1307 | | 1565.4291 | They don't have no identity | 1566.4734 |
| 1309 | | 1567.2842 | at all. | 1567.6808 |
| 1311 | | 1567.9215 | Especially offense. | 1568.8424 |
| 1313 | | 1569.4563 | Don't know if they a passing team or running team. | 1570.9478 |
| 1314 | DCB_int_01 | 1572.5935 | Mm. | 1572.9972 |
| 1315 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1573.3342 | They just do both good. None- neither one of 'em they do well, just | 1576.3005 |
| 1317 | | 1576.4806 | average at both. | 1577.1687 |
| 1318 | DCB_int_01 | 1578.0221 | Are you a season ticket holder? | 1579.0006 |
| 1319 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1579.1674 | No, I'm not. | 1579.5974 |
| 1320 | DCB_int_01 | 1581.1460 | Hm. | 1581.3829 |
| 1321 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1581.5998 | I- I prefer to watch- | 1582.6174 |
| 1323 | | 1583.5283 | I- I went to the- um, | 1584.7403 |
| 1325 | | 1585.8014 | the Redskin game when they played Oakland, | 1587.3729 |
| 1327 | | 1588.3538 | like [two weeks] ago. | 1589.1272 |
| 1328 | DCB_int_01 | 1588.4806 | [Mm-hm.] | 1588.7843 |
| 1329 | | 1589.2647 | Mm-hm. | 1589.6551 |
| 1330 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1589.8328 | I had a good time, but for football | 1591.3342 |
| 1332 | | 1592.2118 | I prefer- I guess cause you get a better feel for the game by actually looking at it on TV. | 1596.3491 |
| 1334 | | 1596.5134 | I prefer to watch football on TV. | 1597.7780 |
| 1336 | | 1598.4220 | Basketball game, I gotta be there. | 1599.9101 |
| 1338 | | 1601.5125 | You can see everything, whereas though on TV, with the basketball- | 1604.5797 |
| 1340 | | 1604.7790 | basketball game you- | 1605.5264 |
| 1342 | | 1606.0102 | you miss a lot. | 1606.6742 |
| 1343 | DCB_int_01 | 1607.5558 | [Cause they show you] what they wanna sh- | 1608.8971 |
| 1344 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1607.5592 | [/??/] | 1608.0497 |
| 1346 | | 1608.8938 | Pretty much, [yeah.] | 1609.7647 |
| 1347 | DCB_int_01 | 1609.4677 | [Yup.] | 1609.7597 |
| 1348 | | 1610.3386 | [And you miss all] that could be [happening.] | 1612.1703 |
| 1349 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1610.3652 | [Pretty much.] | 1610.8524 |
| 1351 | | 1611.8901 | [Yup.] | 1612.1803 |
| 1352 | DCB_int_01 | 1612.9377 | I've- | 1613.1313 |
| 1354 | | 1613.2881 | I've- | 1613.5417 |
| 1356 | | 1613.9396 | So sometimes like I go to the basketball game and then I'll go ho- Like, when I don't have anything to do [which is] not often, | 1618.2037 |
| 1357 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1617.3262 | [Mm-hm.] | 1617.6182 |
| 1358 | DCB_int_01 | 1618.5741 | but I'll go home and rewatch the game, [and I'm] like, oh my god that felt so different being there cause you see it from a totally [different angle.] | 1625.1112 |
| 1359 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1620.1664 | [Mm-hm.] | 1620.4801 |
| 1361 | | 1624.2104 | [/??/ I ain't know you was] into, um, [sports-] | 1626.3500 |
| 1362 | DCB_int_01 | 1625.9262 | [Oh I'm a-] I'm a [basketball- I'm a-] | 1627.6579 |
| 1363 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1626.7503 | [basketball fanat-] | 1627.6546 |
| 1364 | DCB_int_01 | 1627.9649 | Oh, we can talk basketball all day. | 1629.4096 |
| 1365 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1629.6098 | I did not know that. | 1630.2037 |
| 1366 | DCB_int_01 | 1630.1870 | I am a basket- I am a Wizards fan. | 1632.3491 |
| 1367 | | 1632.6603 | After the Wizards I'm a Spurs fan because I was a Timmy fan. | 1635.6069 |
| 1368 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1635.6065 | Oh yeah. | 1636.0569 |
| 1369 | DCB_int_01 | 1636.2804 | Um, | 1637.4349 |
| 1371 | | 1637.7352 | <ts> and I'm a Popovich fan. | 1639.1432 |
| 1373 | | 1639.6279 | Um, I lo- but I also love the Warriors. | 1641.7065 |
| 1375 | | 1641.9668 | Like, | 1642.3105 |
| 1377 | | 1642.9544 | if it's Warriors and- if it's Warriors and Cavaliers I will go Warriors all day. I'm- cause I'm not a LeBron fan. I am- I'm a LeBron hater because I think LeBron is a- too much of a LeBron fan. | 1651.7613 |
| 1379 | | 1652.1117 | I don't like people like [that.] | 1653.1427 |
| 1380 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1652.8023 | [Oh that's-] that's obvious, that's- | 1654.0402 |
| 1381 | DCB_int_01 | 1654.3939 | I don't- but I don't like people like [that.] | 1656.1289 |
| 1382 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1655.8228 | [Yeah.] | 1656.1481 |
| 1383 | DCB_int_01 | 1656.4234 | And I love Golden Sta- I love that nobody is over themselves and nobody is good enough that they can't step back | 1662.3525 |
| 1385 | | 1662.5635 | for the good of the team. | 1663.6913 |
| 1386 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1663.7413 | Mm-hm. | 1664.0960 |
| 1387 | DCB_int_01 | 1664.1917 | And so I appreciate that, because it's about- at the end of the day it's about the team. [And you can] take all the individual accolades, | 1669.3815 |
| 1388 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1667.4457 | [Mm-hm.] | 1667.7827 |
| 1389 | DCB_int_01 | 1669.7246 | and they do that, because it's about the team. | 1672.2076 |
| 1391 | | 1672.3972 | And so when your team is the better- when your team is better, | 1674.8638 |
| 1393 | | 1675.6846 | the individual performances will ps- | 1677.4296 |
| 1395 | | 1677.6165 | will shine. | 1678.2471 |
| 1397 | | 1679.0712 | That's why I don't like- | 1679.7819 |
| 1398 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 1679.8928 | Yeah. | 1680.2488 |
| 1399 | DCB_int_01 | 1680.3333 | I'm not a LeBron fan any day of the week. | 1682.1384 |
| 1401 | | 1682.7456 | But oh we can talk basketball all day. | 1684.1036 |
| 1403 | | 1684.5707 | Okay, but [I know we not gon-] | 1685.7627 |

| 1702 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2018.1880 | Yeah, she does, | 2018.8720 |
| 1703 | | 2018.9796 | I'm not gonna lie. | 2019.5942 |
| 1705 | | 2020.4677 | I love her to pieces though. Mainly because | 2022.2394 |
| 1707 | | 2023.1370 | I know, | 2023.6575 |
| 1709 | | 2025.0230 | um, | 2025.6763 |
| 1711 | | 2026.0473 | society has changed. | 2027.4887 |
| 1713 | | 2028.2695 | Like kids her age, uh, | 2029.8434 |
| 1715 | | 2031.2432 | fifteen acting like eighteen, twenty-one, twenty-six, and- or older. | 2035.4473 |
| 1717 | | 2036.7152 | That's why I'm thankful. And I make sure I talk to her | 2039.2818 |
| 1719 | | 2039.6188 | every day or see her every day because | 2041.8443 |
| 1721 | | 2042.4082 | I've never had any problems with her. | 2043.7970 |
| 1723 | | 2045.1417 | Never. | 2045.5124 |
| 1725 | | 2045.6589 | She's a daddy's girl. | 2046.5497 |
| 1727 | | 2047.5907 | And I talked her to her at a early age as far as what I think | 2049.9372 |
| 1729 | | 2050.2508 | is important | 2050.9849 |
| 1731 | | 2052.5330 | in life | 2053.1203 |
| 1733 | | 2053.7209 | in general. | 2054.2075 |
| 1735 | | 2054.5225 | It's just stuck with her. | 2055.3725 |
| 1737 | | 2055.9906 | She never got in trouble at school, she always get good grades in school. | 2058.9134 |
| 1739 | | 2059.6408 | And then that's why I spoil her. I don't have no problem spoiling her though. | 2061.5335 |
| 1740 | DCB_int_01 | 2062.1541 | Because she's doing what she's supposed to do. | 2063.2952 |
| 1741 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2063.2618 | Yeah, exactly, yeah. | 2064.0545 |
| 1742 | | 2064.8300 | But I- I don't just give her stuff just to be giving her- I mean, I explain to her, you know, | 2067.9766 |
| 1744 | | 2069.0282 | why I'm doing it. Not just- | 2070.3729 |
| 1746 | | 2070.5764 | Cause I know she aks for a lot. But I- I- she- she know the difference between | 2073.5635 |
| 1748 | | 2074.4243 | stuff that she wants and something that she needs. | 2076.6577 |
| 1749 | DCB_int_01 | 2077.0702 | Right. | 2077.3605 |
| 1751 | | 2078.3857 | Is she into boys yet? | 2079.3433 |
| 1752 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2079.9547 | <ts> | 2080.0148 |
| 1754 | | 2080.5019 | Uh, no not yet but I know it's coming though. | 2082.2161 |
| 1755 | DCB_int_01 | 2082.6899 | No not yet that you don't know of. | 2084.2681 |
| 1757 | | 2085.1197 | Which is different. [She may-] | 2086.3976 |
| 1758 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2085.8304 | [You sounding] like my mother. | 2087.1217 |
| 1759 | DCB_int_01 | 2087.7323 | I mean, I'm just being- | 2088.5509 |
| 1760 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2088.5531 | She- no, she told me the [exact same thing.] | 2090.2280 |
| 1761 | DCB_int_01 | 2089.3405 | [Look, we work] around kids, [right?] | 2091.4934 |
| 1762 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2091.0864 | [Yeah], yeah. | 2091.7870 |
| 1763 | DCB_int_01 | 2092.1107 | Um, | 2093.0149 |
| 1765 | | 2093.6355 | and so we're the- we're the people that the kids go to when they don't go to their parents. | 2098.5600 |
| 1766 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2099.8791 | True. | 2100.1724 |
| 1768 | | 2100.5631 | That's absolutely right. | 2101.3538 |
| 1769 | DCB_int_01 | 2101.5507 | And so we know about all the kids [who like], you know, I really like this person, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | 2107.1270 |
| 1770 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2103.9706 | [Mm-hm.] | 2104.3409 |
| 1771 | DCB_int_01 | 2107.6942 | You did it | 2108.3281 |
| 1773 | | 2109.0597 | when you were younger. | 2110.1490 |
| 1774 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2110.2508 | Hold on a sec. | 2110.9122 |
| 1775 | DCB_int_01 | 2110.8748 | Uh-huh. | 2111.2187 |
| 1776 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2111.2218 | My /waitlist/ guy. | 2112.0384 |
| 1777 | DCB_int_01 | 2112.3529 | Oh. | 2112.5929 |
| 1779 | | 2113.0802 | Hey /RD-NAME-2/. | 2113.8677 |
| 1780 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2114.0612 | But, [um,] | 2114.7385 |
| 1781 | DCB_int_01 | 2114.5984 | [You] did it. | 2115.3091 |
| 1782 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2115.6736 | Oh yeah, see, but this- this the thing though, /RD-NAME-2/. | 2117.2852 |
| 1784 | | 2117.7790 | As a man, s- especially, y- your- your /atmosphere/ on life and the way you see life changes when you have a child. | 2122.6145 |
| 1786 | | 2122.8414 | Especially when your child is a daughter, I mean, is a girl. | 2124.8800 |
| 1788 | | 2125.7476 | it changes. I mean, because she knows, | 2127.4467 |
| 1790 | | 2128.6045 | and I hate to say it, | 2129.3586 |
| 1792 | | 2129.7022 | I hate every little boy. | 2130.7956 |
| 1794 | | 2131.2137 | I don't like none of 'em. | 2132.0078 |
| 1796 | | 2134.0573 | I know it sounds harsh /unintelligible/ (laughing) | 2135.7957 |
| 1798 | | 2136.9168 | But I- seriously, I mean, I- | 2138.0612 |
| 1800 | | 2138.3348 | mean, I know it's just me as a father talking, but I don't | 2140.7546 |
| 1802 | | 2141.0082 | like mean it like- like, [directly, but.] | 2142.7032 |
| 1803 | DCB_int_01 | 2142.3495 | [Right], but I [get it.] | 2143.4940 |
| 1804 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2143.2271 | [Cause I] know how I was as a, um, young man. | 2145.6736 |
| 1805 | | 2145.9706 | They're worse now. | 2146.8147 |
| 1806 | DCB_int_01 | 2147.5488 | Times twenty. | 2148.4096 |
| 1807 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2148.5764 | Yeah, and | 2149.3171 |
| 1809 | | 2149.5107 | that's why I talk to my daughter all the time about what's important, I mean, what's gonna be there as she get older. And she don't need it now, I mean, it's- /it's just gonna-/ as long as you're living it's gonna be there. | 2156.9529 |
| 1810 | DCB_int_01 | 2158.2208 | /unintelligible/ no need to [rush.] | 2159.6032 |
| 1811 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2159.4587 | [Nah.] | 2159.9525 |
| 1812 | | 2160.3629 | I mean, but, um, | 2161.2204 |
| 1814 | | 2162.5483 | She probably- I mean, I j- | 2163.4634 |
| 1816 | | 2163.7003 | she probably has a interest in boys already I just don't know about it. | 2165.7122 |
| 1817 | DCB_int_01 | 2167.0936 | [As long as you're] not ignorant to that fact. | 2168.9796 |
| 1818 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2167.2437 | [That's why-] | 2167.5907 |
| 1819 | | 2169.0296 | Oh n- oh, no I'm not. | 2170.0673 |
| 1820 | DCB_int_01 | 2170.3509 | [Okay.] | 2170.6679 |
| 1821 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2170.5478 | [I'm] not gonna lie I used to be. | 2171.7278 |
| 1822 | DCB_int_01 | 2172.6465 | Cause you thought she was a perfect [angel.] | 2174.0579 |
| 1823 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2173.7876 | [Oh yeah.] | 2174.2847 |
| 1824 | | 2175.0663 | Of course. | 2175.5503 |
| 1825 | DCB_int_01 | 2175.6202 | Mm-hm. | 2175.9375 |
| 1826 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2176.0506 | But I wanted it- I don't wanna get- have it in her mind that- | 2178.4363 |
| 1828 | | 2178.9034 | the hate that I have for little boys | 2180.5016 |
| 1830 | | 2181.0130 | that she gotta, | 2181.4850 |
| 1832 | | 2181.6269 | well I- | 2181.9706 |
| 1834 | | 2182.1207 | I don't wanna tell him this. | 2183.0783 |
| 1836 | | 2183.6689 | [I don't think] I should tell him because he might get mad or /I'm- I ain't/ gonna take it. | 2186.0712 |
| 1837 | DCB_int_01 | 2183.7122 | [Yup.] | 2183.9425 |
| 1838 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2186.4683 | That's why | 2187.1989 |
| 1840 | | 2187.6269 | <clears throat> I eased off that a little bit. | 2189.4887 |
| 1842 | | 2190.2895 | And- | 2190.6865 |
| 1844 | | 2191.1103 | and trying to get to the point where she's comfortable talking about anything, including boys. | 2194.5077 |
| 1846 | | 2194.8948 | I might not wanna hear it, | 2195.8023 |
| 1848 | | 2196.9134 | I mean, but hey. | 2197.6975 |
| 1850 | | 2198.0145 | It comes with the territory, though. | 2199.1297 |
| 1851 | DCB_int_01 | 2199.2131 | It does. | 2199.9105 |
| 1853 | | 2200.0406 | And that's wonderful. Where- | 2201.0583 |
| 1855 | | 2201.2818 | Does she wanna go to college? | 2202.2245 |
| 1856 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2202.1794 | Yes she does. Where, I don't know yet, | 2203.7542 |
| 1857 | | 2203.8610 | but she does. | 2204.4524 |
| 1859 | | 2204.5725 | Initially she does. | 2205.4492 |
| 1861 | | 2205.5568 | I mean initially when I aksed her she wasn't really- | 2207.8023 |
| 1863 | | 2208.4363 | Cause she in the tenth grade now. | 2209.3905 |
| 1864 | DCB_int_01 | 2209.6675 | Mm-hm. | 2210.0181 |
| 1865 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2210.4224 | She wasn't really I guess | 2211.7270 |
| 1867 | | 2212.6979 | that enthused about it cause I guess in her mind she was like, I'm- | 2214.8800 |
| 1869 | | 2215.0035 | I'm only in ninth grade, why is he asking me about college? | 2217.0982 |
| 1871 | | 2218.3276 | And I used to aks her all the time, now | 2219.8369 |
| 1873 | | 2221.3205 | when I aksed her, she was like, I'm going but I just don't know where I'm gonna go yet. | 2223.9702 |
| 1874 | DCB_int_01 | 2224.2208 | Right. | 2224.5115 |
| 1875 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2224.5311 | Whereas though like a year or two years ago, she was like, college, /unintelligible/ | 2227.2271 |
| 1877 | | 2228.2180 | Can I get through the eighth grade- <laugh> eighth grade first? Yeah, [so.] | 2230.8623 |
| 1878 | DCB_int_01 | 2230.6646 | [I'm] just trying to get to eighth gra- I'm just trying to get to high school, Dad. | 2233.5040 |
| 1879 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2233.6007 | Yeah, so, | 2234.3548 |
| 1881 | | 2234.4616 | I mean, if she- | 2234.9621 |
| 1882 | DCB_int_01 | 2234.9662 | <clears throat> | 2235.3299 |
| 1883 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2235.5001 | she knows that I want her to go, I- | 2236.7513 |
| 1885 | | 2237.3786 | I think she wants to go, too. | 2238.3996 |
| 1886 | DCB_int_01 | 2238.9601 | Let's- so let's transition from family. How did you get to- | 2242.6145 |
| 1888 | | 2243.4120 | [You're kind of in] this job, [right? So], in safety, and like, people just don't walk into, I'm gonna | 2248.1507 |
| 1889 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2243.4220 | [<clears throat>] | 2244.0059 |
| 1891 | | 2244.6365 | [Mm-hm.] | 2244.9391 |
| 1892 | DCB_int_01 | 2248.3442 | be in safety. | 2249.1050 |
| 1893 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2249.2151 | Yeah. | 2249.4220 |
| 1894 | DCB_int_01 | 2249.3886 | How did you kind of get into this career path? Was it through college, or | 2252.8086 |
| 1895 | | 2253.3066 | how did you get here? | 2254.5745 |
| 1896 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2255.2618 | Uh, /RD-NAME-2/ this was never initially on my career path | 2258.1112 |
| 1898 | | 2258.6418 | leaving college and in high school. | 2260.0473 |
| 1900 | | 2260.8948 | Never was. | 2261.6088 |
| 1902 | | 2262.0392 | I mean, cause I could draw, | 2263.1503 |
| 1904 | | 2263.5574 | really really good, and I wanted to be like a artist, engineer, or I be on TV playing sports. | 2267.8324 |
| 1906 | | 2269.5040 | Safety- And the reason I- um, | 2271.2490 |
| 1908 | | 2271.8004 | I got into it because when I was in school, I started doing security part time | 2275.2938 |
| 1910 | | 2276.4816 | for /RD-WORK-5/. | 2277.3358 |
| 1911 | DCB_int_01 | 2277.9772 | Mm-hm. | 2278.3643 |
| 1912 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2278.3743 | Um, | 2278.9148 |
| 1914 | | 2281.3438 | initially, I mean, I- I di- I'm not gonna say I was a expert, but | 2284.2809 |
| 1916 | | 2285.2818 | he- the guy I was working for thought I was. I mean, because I was making decisions on my own. That's w- how security p- pretty much is. | 2291.1217 |
| 1918 | | 2291.6355 | They put you in a position where | 2292.9168 |
| 1920 | | 2294.4582 | you can't make personal decisions | 2296.0540 |
| 1922 | | 2296.1674 | because your | 2296.7487 |
| 1924 | | 2297.3419 | personal decisions don't matter. | 2298.7065 |
| 1926 | | 2299.1770 | Every decision you make, you gotta be, how would it benefit the organization I'm working for? | 2302.4900 |
| 1927 | DCB_int_01 | 2303.5921 | Hm. | 2303.9581 |
| 1928 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2304.7032 | I mean, sometimes, you might not agree with it. | 2306.9054 |
| 1930 | | 2308.0640 | But | 2308.4277 |
| 1932 | | 2309.1951 | how you feel don't matter at the time because you gotta figure | 2311.7042 |
| 1934 | | 2313.5735 | the decisions you make is gonna affect other people | 2315.7923 |
| 1936 | | 2316.1260 | and the business. | 2316.9434 |
| 1938 | | 2317.4439 | So whatever guidelines | 2319.0655 |
| 1940 | | 2319.4167 | the organization has | 2320.6207 |
| 1942 | | 2321.0483 | those what you gotta follow. | 2322.0693 |
| 1944 | | 2322.6832 | So I started doing security there. | 2324.0946 |
| 1946 | | 2325.6694 | Um, | 2326.2184 |
| 1948 | | 2326.3994 | <clears throat> | 2327.0580 |
| 1950 | | 2327.6066 | St- | 2327.8298 |
| 1952 | | 2327.9324 | I'm not gonna lie, I started to like it | 2329.3097 |
| 1954 | | 2329.9532 | a little bit. | 2330.4630 |
| 1956 | | 2330.9033 | I mean, cause I- when I | 2331.7388 |
| 1958 | | 2332.0352 | <clears throat> first started doing security, security was looked at the guy with the mean face | 2335.6004 |
| 1960 | | 2336.0287 | standing in CVS telling everybody what to- <laugh> what to do and being mean [to people.] | 2339.5675 |
| 1961 | DCB_int_01 | 2339.1603 | [<laugh>] | 2340.0496 |
| 1962 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2340.2280 | That quickly changed when I left there | 2342.0587 |
| 1964 | | 2342.5234 | And I started doing security for /RD-WORK-3/, | 2344.2585 |
| 1966 | | 2344.3701 | /RD-WORK-5/. | 2345.1513 |
| 1968 | | 2345.6490 | Because, you know, at a hotel, they preach | 2347.6940 |
| 1970 | | 2348.5212 | like it's in the Bible, hospitality. | 2350.1348 |
| 1972 | | 2351.6188 | Every day, I mean, it's- | 2352.5509 |
| 1974 | | 2352.8314 | and I- I didn't really see security and like hospitality like, connecting together | 2356.9282 |
| 1976 | | 2357.5736 | /?/ | 2357.7878 |
| 1978 | | 2357.9326 | until I started working in the hotel /world/ because, of course, you gotta, | 2360.2987 |
| 1980 | | 2361.2059 | you know, provide a p- uh, secure presence by standing in the lobby, at the same time | 2364.4846 |
| 1982 | | 2365.3208 | you gotta be hospitable, too. A guest walk past, how you doing? | 2367.9450 |
| 1984 | | 2368.8890 | Can I help you with anything? | 2369.7607 |
| 1986 | | 2371.1278 | And I think that's learned behavior because if you- | 2372.7023 |
| 1988 | | 2373.0824 | you- growing up, I mean, everybody don't have that personality. | 2375.3650 |
| 1990 | | 2376.3406 | You don't. | 2376.7177 |
| 1992 | | 2377.8246 | I mean, cause I was- I was a person- I used to laugh and joke, but was I open to like, having conversations with people | 2382.3497 |
| 1994 | | 2383.0706 | at a younger age? I'm n- I'm not gonna lie. No I wasn't. | 2385.5560 |
| 1996 | | 2386.9804 | But when I started working in a hotel, | 2388.4535 |
| 1998 | | 2389.1672 | and I saw that everybody | 2390.4008 |
| 2000 | | 2390.5878 | talk to everybody. | 2391.6838 |
| 2002 | | 2392.6668 | Guests'll come up to you and hold a conversation with you for a hour if they could, | 2396.1777 |
| 2004 | | 2396.6874 | about their day, their kids, | 2398.3350 |
| 2006 | | 2398.6909 | um, | 2399.1434 |
| 2008 | | 2399.2731 | things that's going on in the area. | 2400.5701 |
| 2010 | | 2401.2035 | I started to like it. | 2402.0631 |
| 2012 | | 2402.7787 | <clears throat> So the more I start to like it, I switched from part time to full time. | 2405.8073 |
| 2014 | | 2406.5068 | And within- | 2406.9713 |
| 2016 | | 2407.1914 | within like, two years I was promoted to like a, uh, | 2409.5991 |
| 2018 | | 2409.7258 | lead officer or something like that. | 2411.0862 |
| 2020 | | 2411.7859 | And then, | 2412.3500 |
| 2022 | | 2413.3906 | as the lead officer I took on more responsibilities. | 2415.5466 |
| 2024 | | 2416.2718 | Um, | 2416.7212 |
| 2026 | | 2417.1616 | I'm good at writing reports. | 2418.3206 |
| 2028 | | 2419.3823 | <clears throat> And I think initially that's what got me, um, promoted because | 2422.0155 |
| 2030 | | 2423.1345 | it was a instance where my supervisor | 2425.1229 |
| 2032 | | 2425.7835 | I guess she was older | 2426.8663 |
| 2034 | | 2427.2856 | she was inclined to technology. | 2428.8540 |
| 2036 | | 2429.1164 | I [used to do her] reports. | 2430.1902 |
| 2037 | DCB_int_01 | 2429.2615 | [Mm-hm.] | 2429.5739 |
| 2038 | | 2430.9873 | Mm, mm-hm. | 2431.9826 |
| 2039 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2432.1395 | I used to do her reports. | 2432.9991 |
| 2041 | | 2433.0775 | And I think my director found out that I was cause he knew | 2435.3246 |
| 2043 | | 2435.7295 | she wasn't that good. | 2436.5549 |
| 2045 | | 2436.8365 | So he was looking at some of the reports and he was like, man no way in hell she wrote this. | 2439.6205 |
| 2046 | DCB_int_01 | 2440.1212 | Cause it wasn't happening before. | 2441.3254 |
| 2047 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2441.5396 | It sure enough wasn't. | 2442.4716 |
| 2049 | | 2443.0175 | And then | 2443.5514 |
| 2051 | | 2444.5498 | he saw a report that I did and saw they were similar. He never came- I know that's what it was, he never came out | 2449.1020 |
| 2053 | | 2449.8772 | and said it. Until one time | 2451.2254 |
| 2055 | | 2451.5610 | she did a report, | 2452.4146 |
| 2057 | | 2453.1204 | well, she was supposed to do it, I helped her do it. | 2454.9881 |
| 2059 | | 2455.3976 | And he saw her and he was like, | 2456.1819 |
| 2061 | | 2456.3063 | good job on the report you did yesterday. I'm saying to myself, I didn't do no report yesterday. | 2459.4009 |
| 2063 | | 2460.0464 | Then I got to thinking, oh damn, he know. | 2461.3555 |
| 2064 | DCB_int_01 | 2463.2233 | [<laugh>] | 2465.0782 |
| 2065 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2463.4585 | [But I think- And after that I] was- Cause m- m- I- I can say /RD-WORK-3/ was like, one of the best jobs I ever had. | 2469.1781 |
| 2066 | | 2469.8839 | I mean, because I got to meet like a lot of, um- | 2471.6755 |
| 2067 | DCB_int_01 | 2473.0788 | [/Need to get it? Uh,/ mm-hm.] | 2474.2129 |
| 2068 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2473.1723 | [/Let me answer this real quick./] | 2474.0289 |
| 2069 | DCB_int_01 | 2474.7022 | Can't write everything [down.] | 2475.7301 |
| 2070 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2475.3742 | [<clears throat>] | 2475.9315 |
| 2071 | DCB_int_01 | 2476.0438 | Okay. | 2476.3756 |
| 2073 | | 2477.1296 | Um, so you were talking about | 2478.2999 |
| 2075 | | 2478.6324 | he found out about the report. | 2479.8898 |
| 2076 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2480.2706 | Yeah, he found out about the report and, um, he told me good job. Of course, | 2483.2990 |
| 2078 | | 2483.5338 | when he first initially told me I didn't know what he was talking about, and then it dawned on me, dang, he knows. | 2487.4165 |
| 2080 | | 2488.3515 | But after a while, I- I guess the performance- um, | 2490.8859 |
| 2082 | | 2491.4409 | my performance, | 2492.3156 |
| 2084 | | 2493.1420 | uh, he took a liking to. And then when | 2495.3537 |
| 2086 | | 2497.6460 | the assistant director left, | 2498.9671 |
| 2088 | | 2499.5251 | he aksed me to apply to for the position as assistant director. | 2501.9078 |
| 2090 | | 2502.3461 | I didn't really wanna do it, I mean, because I was like, man I- | 2504.3941 |
| 2092 | | 2505.0637 | cause I- I- | 2505.5320 |
| 2094 | | 2506.1382 | I didn't even plan on being there that long. | 2507.4171 |
| 2095 | DCB_int_01 | 2507.7640 | Mm. | 2508.1832 |
| 2096 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2508.4969 | Being at /RD-WORK-3/ was like a stepping /stone-/ stone for me | 2510.7569 |
| 2098 | | 2511.7703 | going on to something else. | 2512.9263 |
| 2100 | | 2513.7067 | But I was- this was like the third year I was there. | 2515.6250 |
| 2102 | | 2516.3912 | So I was there three years past. (laughing) | 2518.0569 |
| 2103 | DCB_int_01 | 2518.7144 | Been here quite a long time. | 2520.0597 |
| 2104 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2520.1954 | Yeah, so I applied for the position, I interviewed with the, um, | 2523.2250 |
| 2106 | | 2524.0026 | executive committee. | 2524.8864 |
| 2108 | | 2525.5831 | And I got the position | 2526.3824 |
| 2110 | | 2527.2360 | as assistant director. And my hours changed. Instead of the morning I came in the evening because | 2531.2273 |
| 2111 | | 2531.2273 | f | 2531.6164 |
| 2112 | | 2531.6164 | the assistant director was also the- um, the night manager on duty. | 2534.6907 |
| 2113 | DCB_int_01 | 2534.9229 | Mm-hm. | 2535.3150 |
| 2114 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2535.3874 | Which means a- anything happen | 2537.1097 |
| 2116 | | 2537.5953 | as far as from emergency standpoint whether it a guest or anything, | 2540.3529 |
| 2118 | | 2540.7540 | they come to me aksing me questions. | 2542.2994 |
| 2120 | | 2543.3872 | Um, | 2543.9060 |
| 2122 | | 2544.0817 | /I just-/ I love working at the hotel. I mean, I- I've seen a lot, | 2546.5670 |
| 2124 | | 2546.7873 | good and bad. | 2547.5112 |
| 2126 | | 2548.8624 | Real bad. | 2549.4235 |
| 2127 | DCB_int_01 | 2550.0576 | What's the craziest thing you've seen? Or the | 2552.0212 |
| 2128 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2552.7933 | <clears throat> [The craziest] thing, and I- I still- I don't still think about it but when I | 2556.5493 |
| 2129 | DCB_int_01 | 2553.1855 | [/?/] | 2553.3455 |
| 2130 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2556.9836 | go past the hotel that cross my mind, | 2558.6184 |
| 2132 | | 2559.4208 | it was a instance where | 2560.5074 |
| 2134 | | 2561.3006 | it was a, um- And | 2562.4739 |
| 2136 | | 2562.5886 | I was assistant director when this happened. | 2564.0635 |
| 2138 | | 2565.4155 | I- um, | 2566.0942 |
| 2140 | | 2566.9840 | I was walking on the floor. Though how it usually works is | 2569.0682 |
| 2142 | | 2569.7438 | /so if/ a guest locked out of their room, | 2571.2949 |
| 2144 | | 2571.9525 | or | 2572.6583 |
| 2146 | | 2573.1047 | somebody needs assistance, | 2574.3820 |
| 2148 | | 2574.9627 | whoever's there they call security and we'll respond. | 2577.3161 |
| 2150 | | 2577.6056 | I was already on the floor and was responding to something else. | 2579.7653 |
| 2152 | | 2580.1061 | I heard a call over the radio about | 2581.5328 |
| 2154 | | 2583.0145 | a- um, a guest needs assistance. | 2584.6674 |
| 2156 | | 2584.7699 | Never said what for. | 2585.8075 |
| 2158 | | 2586.1242 | So I'm on the floor, I'm walking towards the room. As I get towards the room, | 2588.7250 |
| 2160 | | 2589.4428 | one of the housekeeping supervisors walked out the room and said, /RD-NAME-2/ hurry up, hurry up, come here. | 2592.8700 |
| 2162 | | 2593.2893 | So I'm running to the room. | 2594.2756 |
| 2164 | | 2594.7854 | Soon as I get to the door, | 2595.8561 |
| 2166 | | 2596.2603 | it was a- um, | 2597.2056 |
| 2168 | | 2597.5211 | a older woman | 2598.2058 |
| 2170 | | 2598.6228 | like, frantic, | 2599.2924 |
| 2172 | | 2599.7870 | screaming and crying. I was like, ma'am, calm down, /uh/ how can I help you? | 2602.6826 |
| 2174 | | 2603.3100 | She said, my husband, my husband, my husband. | 2605.1054 |
| 2176 | | 2605.9017 | /RD-NAME-2/ I walked in the room, | 2606.9905 |
| 2178 | | 2607.3012 | her husband was just laying on the bed, | 2608.6163 |
| 2180 | | 2608.9880 | <clears throat> stretched out on the bed on his back, | 2610.7918 |
| 2182 | | 2610.9215 | mouth wide open. | 2611.7681 |
| 2184 | | 2612.9092 | I'm not a doctor | 2613.7062 |
| 2186 | | 2614.3758 | by any means, | 2615.1540 |
| 2188 | | 2615.4104 | but once I walked over there, | 2616.6138 |
| 2190 | | 2617.5941 | touched him, cold as ice. | 2618.9725 |
| 2192 | | 2620.2250 | Cold as ice. | 2620.9157 |
| 2194 | | 2621.0997 | And I found out they were there | 2622.5023 |
| 2196 | | 2622.9366 | on vacation | 2623.7601 |
| 2198 | | 2624.1069 | to go sight seeing. | 2624.9726 |
| 2200 | | 2625.2569 | It was him, his wife, their two kids, | 2627.0696 |
| 2202 | | 2627.5040 | and his mother. | 2628.1434 |
| 2204 | | 2628.9035 | So, | 2629.3529 |
| 2206 | | 2630.0225 | she told me that, | 2630.8618 |
| 2208 | | 2631.0066 | um, | 2631.5827 |
| 2210 | | 2632.1256 | earlier that day, well, that morning, | 2633.5613 |
| 2212 | | 2634.1314 | he said he didn't feel well. | 2635.1388 |
| 2214 | | 2635.2987 | His ch- he was like, chest felt funny, and his stomach was hurting. | 2637.7697 |
| 2216 | | 2638.3971 | So it was like, well, you stay here and rest, we'll go sight seeing. | 2640.7407 |
| 2218 | | 2641.4080 | So imagine they went to go sight s- | 2642.7925 |
| 2220 | | 2642.9493 | sight seeing, they came back, | 2644.2433 |
| 2222 | | 2644.8616 | and found him in the room, | 2645.8540 |
| 2224 | | 2646.1224 | his wife, | 2646.7287 |
| 2226 | | 2647.1004 | his mom, and his kids. | 2648.3284 |
| 2228 | | 2649.0399 | And when I get to the room, the kids were like, on the side | 2651.3171 |
| 2230 | | 2651.4619 | /??/ cause they got conjoining rooms. | 2653.0311 |
| 2232 | | 2654.4819 | And they had a housekeeper to t- to take them in the room cause they was like, real real frantic. | 2658.0180 |
| 2234 | | 2658.7808 | So, of course, all of us are, um, CPR, First-Aid, um, certified. | 2662.7863 |
| 2236 | | 2663.4265 | /RD-NAME-2/ like I say, I'm not a doctor. I knew he was- um, | 2666.0627 |
| 2238 | | 2667.0189 | /and/ I had a feeling he was dead, I'll say that. | 2668.5122 |
| 2240 | | 2669.1883 | So I aksed the wife, well, help me move him to the floor cause, you know, you can't do CPR on the bed because | 2673.4140 |
| 2241 | DCB_int_01 | 2672.7052 | [Bed cause] the surface. | 2674.3167 |
| 2242 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2674.3016 | the resistance, so | 2675.2517 |
| 2243 | | 2675.5382 | we moved him on the floor. | 2676.5969 |
| 2245 | | 2677.4204 | Um, but when I first got there I told her to call downstairs and have 'em call the ambulance. | 2680.9954 |
| 2247 | | 2681.7886 | Um, I started CPR process | 2683.7220 |
| 2249 | | 2684.8358 | for like, five minutes, five- five to eight minutes. | 2687.3002 |
| 2251 | | 2687.9998 | During the process, um, | 2689.5592 |
| 2253 | | 2689.9611 | they showed up, the ambulance showed up, | 2691.8523 |
| 2255 | | 2692.2203 | and they saw what I was doing. They was like, well, keep going, cause they started setting up for everything. | 2695.4929 |
| 2257 | | 2696.1120 | So I- I was still doing CPR process until they took over. | 2698.7210 |
| 2259 | | 2699.6229 | Um, from there- | 2700.6122 |
| 2261 | | 2701.8315 | Course, the wife, | 2702.5222 |
| 2263 | | 2703.4995 | s- lo- she's losing it. | 2704.7482 |
| 2265 | | 2705.3213 | They took him to the hospital. | 2706.5044 |
| 2267 | | 2707.6083 | Um, | 2708.2900 |
| 2269 | | 2708.6399 | of course, he was pronounced dead | 2709.8404 |
| 2271 | | 2710.6427 | before he even got there. | 2711.6169 |
| 2273 | | 2712.3325 | But- um, | 2713.1378 |
| 2275 | | 2713.5873 | and that's the first time I actually- | 2715.0499 |
| 2277 | | 2716.3713 | I've seen- like, | 2717.5302 |
| 2279 | | 2718.2541 | from a distance though, | 2719.1077 |
| 2281 | | 2719.2103 | seen people get shot, or people die, but this was the first time I was actually this close | 2722.6556 |
| 2283 | | 2723.2256 | to like, a dead body. | 2724.0523 |
| 2285 | | 2725.6658 | And it stuck /for/ me that entire week. | 2727.0502 |
| 2287 | | 2727.2161 | it was like rolling around in my head like, | 2728.8487 |
| 2289 | | 2728.9814 | dang should I- | 2729.4730 |
| 2291 | | 2730.5951 | what if I'd have got there sooner? | 2731.6296 |
| 2293 | | 2731.7563 | I mean, | 2732.1310 |
| 2294 | DCB_int_01 | 2732.2902 | Mm. | 2732.5707 |
| 2295 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2733.0865 | But, um, | 2733.6482 |
| 2297 | | 2733.7960 | <clears throat> | 2734.3963 |
| 2299 | | 2734.6134 | it got to a point where | 2735.7566 |
| 2301 | | 2736.9691 | like I said, I was doing the CPR process, | 2738.6582 |
| 2303 | | 2739.2230 | it didn't work, | 2739.8986 |
| 2305 | | 2740.5170 | they took him to the hospital, he pronounced dead. | 2742.0764 |
| 2307 | | 2742.4293 | The very next day, I'm walking in the lobby, | 2744.3989 |
| 2309 | | 2744.5444 | I run into his wife. | 2745.5639 |
| 2311 | | 2746.9996 | She look like she was lost. I mean, it's | 2748.8513 |
| 2313 | | 2749.3915 | explainable, I mean, of course she would. | 2750.7676 |
| 2315 | | 2751.3317 | I talked to her for a while, aksed her did she need anything, /I got/ the front desk- | 2754.6495 |
| 2316 | DCB_int_01 | 2755.4254 | It might be /RD-NAME-2/. | 2756.2187 |
| 2317 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2756.2187 | Yeah, just hold on [a sec.] | 2756.9939 |
| 2318 | DCB_int_01 | 2756.7073 | [Mm-hm.] | 2756.9637 |
| 2319 | | 2757.0210 | Wanted to s- start early cause it's gonna start getting busy. | 2759.3013 |
| 2320 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2759.3013 | Yeah. | 2759.6106 |
| 2321 | DCB_int_01 | 2760.0282 | So you saw the wife, [she was-] | 2761.7375 |
| 2322 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2761.0317 | [Yeah, I s- uh], and she was frantic. | 2762.6303 |
| 2323 | | 2762.7781 | I mean, she was- | 2763.4447 |
| 2325 | | 2763.5714 | you could tell she been crying all night, she didn't sleep when I was talking to her. | 2766.2830 |
| 2327 | | 2767.2519 | I mean, of course, | 2767.9969 |
| 2329 | | 2769.4658 | I'm not gonna say I feel your pain because I- I have somebody passing me | 2772.3742 |
| 2331 | | 2773.0710 | as well, but that don't mean I feel the same thing she's feeling. | 2775.2216 |
| 2333 | | 2775.9515 | So I aksed her, I was like, well, um, | 2777.5863 |
| 2335 | | 2777.9128 | if there's anything we can do to help, | 2779.3606 |
| 2337 | | 2780.2594 | just let me know. I gave her my business card, | 2782.0420 |
| 2339 | | 2782.5706 | cause I didn't have a chance to the day before. | 2784.1934 |
| 2341 | | 2784.8630 | We comped her- um, we just went ahead and comped their stay. | 2787.3182 |
| 2342 | DCB_int_01 | 2788.1114 | Right. | 2788.3488 |
| 2343 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2788.3354 | I went over to the front desk, | 2789.4846 |
| 2344 | | 2789.8133 | and I talked to the GM | 2790.9505 |
| 2346 | | 2791.6321 | and, um, | 2792.3952 |
| 2348 | | 2792.9532 | we comped their stay. | 2793.8853 |
| 2350 | | 2794.1153 | They stayed for like another day. | 2795.3157 |
| 2352 | | 2795.4273 | Cause they- they was from- | 2796.5660 |
| 2354 | | 2797.3788 | <ts> | 2797.5176 |
| 2356 | | 2798.6879 | I can't- forgot what city they was from, but it was nowhere near DC of [course.] | 2801.7350 |
| 2357 | DCB_int_01 | 2801.5239 | [Right.] | 2801.7803 |
| 2358 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2802.7545 | Cause I worked at the /RD-WORK-3/ um, downtown on /RD-ADDRESS-2/ by the convention center. | 2805.9525 |
| 2359 | DCB_int_01 | 2806.0128 | Mm, mm-hm. | 2806.6281 |
| 2360 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2807.0805 | So, um, | 2807.8467 |
| 2362 | | 2811.0748 | of course, she- she said she didn't need anything but I let her know, well, I'm'a come back and check on you | 2815.0328 |
| 2364 | | 2815.4521 | later today if th- if- if- if that's okay with- with you. | 2817.7354 |
| 2366 | | 2818.4563 | Uh, she said that's fine, she was about to go, um, | 2820.4228 |
| 2368 | | 2820.9876 | <clears throat> get the kids and have 'em eat breakfast. I was like, well, | 2823.4459 |
| 2370 | | 2824.4985 | I'll be downstairs waiting on you. | 2825.6357 |
| 2372 | | 2825.8589 | Of course, I comped their breakfast as well | 2827.3919 |
| 2374 | | 2827.8684 | once they came down. | 2828.7341 |
| 2376 | | 2829.4519 | I mean, when I- I saw her again when she left, she said she appreciated everything. | 2832.5896 |
| 2378 | | 2833.4975 | I mean, it's nothing really that | 2834.9694 |
| 2380 | | 2835.2529 | we could have [possibly done] [to change it] because she didn't know | 2837.8718 |
| 2381 | DCB_int_01 | 2835.9358 | [Mm-hm.] | 2836.3508 |
| 2383 | | 2836.5450 | [Yeah.] | 2836.9649 |
| 2384 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2838.5383 | and neither we- I mean, we didn't know either I guess | 2840.6195 |
| 2386 | | 2840.9513 | he was sick, | 2841.5425 |
| 2388 | | 2842.3848 | so. | 2842.6875 |
| 2389 | DCB_int_01 | 2843.9020 | /inaudible/ oh. | 2844.5203 |
| 2390 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2844.5655 | No. | 2844.7646 |
| 2391 | DCB_int_01 | 2844.8400 | Okay. | 2845.1814 |
| 2393 | | 2846.4748 | Um, | 2847.0148 |
| 2394 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2848.7950 | [I mean, just-] | 2849.3217 |
| 2395 | DCB_int_01 | 2848.8735 | [So he was] sick. | 2849.7421 |
| 2396 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2849.8779 | Yeah he was sick and ain't nobody knew it. Um, I would say it's nothing we | 2853.2108 |
| 2398 | | 2853.8570 | coulda done, we did everything we could. | 2855.4164 |
| 2400 | | 2855.6276 | And I- like I s- I- I- like I said I knew when I first got there he | 2858.3211 |
| 2402 | | 2858.4757 | was pretty much dead, but | 2859.6248 |
| 2404 | | 2860.1466 | I couldn't say that to her because like I said, I'm not a doctor. | 2862.4098 |
| 2405 | DCB_int_01 | 2862.7165 | [Right.] | 2862.9517 |
| 2406 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2862.8643 | [So] I had to go through the, um, proper procedures | 2864.9915 |
| 2407 | | 2865.5404 | from a CPR standpoint. | 2866.8525 |
| 2409 | | 2868.2701 | Uh, I'm not gonna lie, it was mostly for her benefit. | 2871.1815 |
| 2410 | DCB_int_01 | 2871.7064 | Right. | 2871.9446 |
| 2411 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2872.5811 | And I had no p- I had no problem doing it neither. | 2874.1374 |
| 2413 | | 2875.0551 | I mean, that's the first time I ever- um, | 2876.7050 |
| 2415 | | 2876.9493 | first and only time actually | 2878.1528 |
| 2417 | | 2879.0818 | I ever had to, um, perform CPR. | 2880.5326 |
| 2418 | DCB_int_01 | 2881.1065 | So that was when you were close to a dead body, do you ever feel like there was a time when you | 2885.0577 |
| 2420 | | 2885.7484 | like, were like, oh my god I'm about to die? Like when you were in a situation | 2888.8348 |
| 2422 | | 2889.0550 | where you thought you were gonna die or get killed? | 2891.0035 |
| 2423 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2891.1400 | No. | 2891.4416 |
| 2425 | | 2892.1564 | Never. | 2892.4098 |
| 2427 | | 2893.5288 | Never. | 2893.8546 |
| 2429 | | 2894.2316 | The- | 2894.4397 |
| 2431 | | 2894.7293 | /RD-NAME-2/ the c- the circle I hung around and still hang around | 2897.1279 |
| 2433 | | 2897.9815 | I really never hung around nobody that was- that I'm close to that got into like situations like that or | 2902.4063 |
| 2435 | | 2902.5579 | put theirself in position | 2903.6407 |
| 2437 | | 2904.0630 | to be in- in that situation. | 2905.4173 |
| 2438 | DCB_int_01 | 2906.6479 | So you were always- you were good. | 2908.1900 |
| 2439 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2908.1779 | Yeah, | 2908.5308 |
| 2440 | | 2908.6786 | yeah. | 2908.9573 |
| 2442 | | 2909.7856 | I hang around a lot of positive people, man. | 2911.2153 |
| 2444 | | 2911.4204 | My closest friend is my barber | 2912.7294 |
| 2446 | | 2913.2942 | and I been knowing him ever since we- | 2914.6726 |
| 2448 | | 2914.9441 | I was like, ten years old. | 2915.9575 |
| 2449 | DCB_int_01 | 2917.6647 | [That's a] good thing. | 2918.5492 |
| 2450 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2917.7824 | [Yeah.] | 2917.9422 |
| 2451 | | 2918.5613 | Yeah, I mean, all of my friends- I have- really don't have- of course the p- other than the people here, | 2921.9039 |
| 2453 | | 2922.3165 | but like close- | 2923.1279 |
| 2455 | | 2923.4114 | close friends, I been knowing for decades. | 2925.2527 |
| 2457 | | 2926.0544 | I don't have that many. | 2926.8054 |
| 2459 | | 2927.8520 | But the ones- | 2928.3135 |
| 2460 | DCB_int_01 | 2927.8581 | [That's probably] best. | 2928.7268 |
| 2461 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2928.7268 | Yeah. | 2928.9500 |
| 2462 | | 2929.0797 | The ones I do, | 2929.7440 |
| 2464 | | 2930.0908 | we're really close. | 2930.8238 |
| 2465 | DCB_int_01 | 2931.2702 | So let's talk about DC for a few minutes. Um, | 2933.8038 |
| 2467 | | 2934.5134 | you've grown up here, | 2935.5600 |
| 2468 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2935.5902 | [Mm-hm.] | 2935.8809 |
| 2469 | DCB_int_01 | 2935.7259 | [you s-] you've seen a lot of things | 2937.2733 |
| 2470 | | 2937.4814 | being kind of, [/you know,/] | 2939.1214 |
| 2471 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2938.6637 | [<clears throat>] | 2939.2821 |
| 2472 | DCB_int_01 | 2940.0278 | in your job and stuff. | 2941.1861 |
| 2474 | | 2941.6747 | How has the city changed? | 2943.2746 |
| 2476 | | 2943.4030 | Or do you think it's [changed?] | 2944.7605 |
| 2477 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2944.5968 | [I-] it's- it's- yeah, yeah, | 2946.0441 |
| 2478 | | 2946.5149 | it's [changed.] | 2947.0828 |
| 2479 | DCB_int_01 | 2946.7228 | [<laugh>] | 2947.0814 |
| 2480 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 2947.6902 | The- the whole attitude has changed I guess. | 2949.6539 |
| 2482 | | 2950.1449 | I mean, I'm- like I said, growing up you s- you see a lot growing up as far as | 2953.2289 |
| 2484 | | 2954.0152 | <ts> | 2954.1191 |
| 2486 | | 2955.2743 | <sigh> | 2955.9689 |
| 2488 | | 2957.4638 | who you consider to be | 2959.0339 |
| 2490 | | 2960.1004 | as trouble makers, | 2961.2613 |
| 2492 | | 2962.5470 | um, part of the bad crowd. And these were always the older individuals | 2966.1597 |
| 2494 | | 2966.5033 | that stayed in a lot of trouble. | 2967.6244 |
| 2496 | | 2968.6091 | And they- they younger now, | 2969.5881 |
| 2498 | | 2970.8992 | a lot younger now. Whereas though | 2972.4009 |
| 2500 | | 2972.6146 | of course, | 2973.0714 |
| 2502 | | 2973.3718 | when you had, like if you wanna call it quote unquote beef, | 2976.2024 |
| 2504 | | 2976.6033 | with another individual or another neighborhood, | 2978.4255 |
| 2506 | | 2980.0404 | you fought. | 2980.4793 |
| 2508 | | 2982.0511 | For whatever reason, like I said, I still didn't understand the neighborhood thing because it's not your neighborhood, I never really cared. | 2986.6945 |
| 2510 | | 2987.7746 | But, um, now, they- nobody fights anymore. | 2990.1504 |
| 2512 | | 2991.5582 | At all. I mean, not that fighting was a good thing in general, I mean, but. | 2994.0422 |
| 2514 | | 2995.3419 | Grab a gun real fast. I mean, I think the- the youth today, I mean, they have the right, I think, | 2999.7805 |
| 2516 | | 3000.8178 | um, | 3001.3550 |
| 2518 | | 3001.5138 | mindset as far as like, um, not being scared of anything. | 3004.3814 |
| 2520 | | 3005.2483 | Scared of anything. | 3006.0569 |
| 2522 | | 3006.7327 | But | 3007.0908 |
| 2524 | | 3007.9138 | truly misguided. | 3008.8581 |
| 2526 | | 3009.7187 | Have no guidance. | 3010.6775 |
| 2528 | | 3011.3394 | And when you have no guidance as a child and you not scared, you- you straight reckless. | 3014.5396 |
| 2530 | | 3016.0731 | And cause you, I guess, figure you- | 3017.4102 |
| 2532 | | 3018.1697 | <clears throat> you have the mindset it's no consequences for your actions at all. | 3021.3253 |
| 2534 | | 3021.7512 | You feel you'll never get caught, | 3022.9583 |
| 2536 | | 3023.7034 | everything you do you'll get away with and it's a reason for everything that you do that's negative. | 3027.2988 |
| 2537 | DCB_int_01 | 3028.7577 | So do you feel like the city is getting better or [worse?] | 3030.8860 |
| 2538 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3030.7590 | [Worse.] | 3031.2961 |
| 2539 | | 3031.4694 | I think it's getting worse. | 3032.2231 |
| 2541 | | 3033.2662 | A lot worse. | 3033.9275 |
| 2543 | | 3034.9238 | It's no- | 3035.3396 |
| 2545 | | 3036.4255 | We had a - we always had, uh, a safe haven when we were younger, always had extra activities when we were younger. | 3041.4606 |
| 2547 | | 3041.9765 | Like I said the program called OSAY. | 3043.5359 |
| 2549 | | 3043.8195 | The rec center, it was a whole lot of rec centers back in the day. | 3046.3493 |
| 2550 | DCB_int_01 | 3046.4301 | Mm-hm. | 3046.7728 |
| 2551 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3047.1232 | Every corner it was a rec center. Now, I mean, it's- it's nothing. | 3049.7488 |
| 2553 | | 3051.6663 | It's nothing to fall back on, and I mean, not | 3053.1940 |
| 2555 | | 3053.6041 | to say that | 3054.2077 |
| 2557 | | 3055.1381 | every, um- | 3056.0824 |
| 2559 | | 3056.3943 | Cause I- I- like I said, I didn't think my neighborhood was bad, | 3058.5573 |
| 2561 | | 3058.7479 | I mean, you j- | 3059.2793 |
| 2563 | | 3059.4647 | I'm- I'm never gonna be a person- and I preach this to my daughter, | 3061.9222 |
| 2565 | | 3062.5200 | you never be a product of your environment. | 3064.2758 |
| 2567 | | 3064.7384 | You don't have to be. | 3065.5384 |
| 2569 | | 3066.7339 | Just because you- you're in bad surroundings, | 3068.6717 |
| 2571 | | 3068.8045 | shouldn't mean that you should have the same type of mentality, nah. | 3071.5803 |
| 2573 | | 3073.4978 | Because the neighborhood I grew up in, looking at it now, now that I'm older, yeah it was, uh, | 3077.3104 |
| 2575 | | 3077.8937 | pretty rough. | 3078.3644 |
| 2577 | | 3078.6734 | It was bad. | 3079.2597 |
| 2579 | | 3080.3599 | But me being a person at a younger age, seeing that, well, it's- it's bad, but | 3084.2735 |
| 2581 | | 3085.0850 | that don't mean I gotta follow the same suit | 3086.6681 |
| 2583 | | 3087.3756 | as everybody else. | 3088.2362 |
| 2585 | | 3088.6636 | Now, | 3089.1372 |
| 2587 | | 3090.2000 | everybody's following everybody. | 3091.4279 |
| 2589 | | 3092.4328 | Kids are smoking at a earlier- <laugh> | 3094.0125 |
| 2591 | | 3094.5410 | at a earlier age, | 3095.5430 |
| 2593 | | 3095.6239 | drinking at a earlier age, | 3096.8859 |
| 2595 | | 3097.2619 | stop going to school at a earlier age, I mean, cause it's no guidance at home. | 3100.5309 |
| 2597 | | 3101.3160 | Um, | 3101.8011 |
| 2599 | | 3102.0062 | and a lot of people use the excuse | 3103.3346 |
| 2601 | | 3103.9901 | that, | 3104.2954 |
| 2603 | | 3104.7300 | you know- | 3105.0187 |
| 2605 | | 3105.3855 | <clears throat> a lot of, um, esp- and it's happening with g- more g- girls now than ever. | 3109.1137 |
| 2607 | | 3109.7525 | Boys has always been like that. | 3111.0000 |
| 2609 | | 3111.6094 | That it's no like, predominant male figure in the house | 3114.0756 |
| 2611 | | 3116.1121 | I guess to show the young- young man, um, guidance. I mean, I'm not gonna lie, it's not. | 3119.5977 |
| 2612 | DCB_int_01 | 3120.1874 | Yeah. | 3120.5274 |
| 2613 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3121.0624 | It's not. | 3121.4331 |
| 2615 | | 3122.0876 | At all. | 3122.4861 |
| 2617 | | 3123.4218 | But | 3123.7221 |
| 2619 | | 3124.0542 | it wasn't one in my house either. | 3125.2527 |
| 2621 | | 3127.4913 | I know times are different then, /but/ I- I know mothers and parents are younger now, | 3130.8817 |
| 2623 | | 3131.5233 | but in my household, it was just my mother. | 3132.8474 |
| 2624 | DCB_int_01 | 3133.5997 | Mm. | 3133.9665 |
| 2625 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3135.2660 | But, um, | 3135.9042 |
| 2627 | | 3136.0399 | like I said, I /mean, to-/ I agree, I mean, not agree, but I- yeah, it's gotten worse. | 3139.7341 |
| 2629 | | 3140.4618 | It's getting worse. | 3141.3224 |
| 2631 | | 3141.9005 | And in my personal opinion do I see it getting better any time soon? | 3144.6988 |
| 2633 | | 3145.3688 | No, unless it's a drastic change. No I- I don't see it. I want it to, though. | 3148.7828 |
| 2634 | DCB_int_01 | 3149.8889 | [What does] getting better mean? | 3151.0498 |
| 2635 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3149.9466 | [Cause it-] | 3150.1946 |
| 2636 | | 3151.6476 | <clears throat> Getting better to a point where | 3153.5743 |
| 2638 | | 3154.7641 | kids are more respectful, | 3156.0463 |
| 2640 | | 3156.3438 | they're staying in school, | 3157.3718 |
| 2642 | | 3158.1666 | violence decreases, | 3159.8329 |
| 2644 | | 3160.4566 | because it's going like, higher and higher each year. | 3162.9691 |
| 2646 | | 3163.7840 | I mean, cause you- you- you get to a point where | 3165.6669 |
| 2648 | | 3166.0856 | if you go to a jail, | 3167.1166 |
| 2650 | | 3168.3526 | it's more- the population- I mean, /it-/ to me, jail is a business. I- my father been told me this a long time ago, | 3173.6985 |
| 2652 | | 3174.6319 | that, um, | 3175.4174 |
| 2654 | | 3176.8642 | more kids are getting charges like, at a high rate for everything now. | 3179.9605 |
| 2656 | | 3181.1561 | Is it by design? Maybe it is. | 3182.8513 |
| 2658 | | 3184.5233 | Cause I figure if you put | 3185.3641 |
| 2660 | | 3185.4870 | <clears throat> | 3185.9418 |
| 2662 | | 3186.9526 | everybody in the same confined neighborhood | 3188.9279 |
| 2664 | | 3189.8346 | with no resources, | 3191.1602 |
| 2666 | | 3191.9260 | what g- what good is gonna come out of that? | 3193.4306 |
| 2668 | | 3194.9814 | No resources at all. | 3196.1630 |
| 2670 | | 3196.5240 | Only thing you putting in there | 3197.5550 |
| 2672 | | 3197.9968 | carry outs and liquor stores. | 3199.1982 |
| 2674 | | 3200.8471 | I mean, what- what are you gonna have to do? | 3201.9826 |
| 2676 | | 3203.7702 | You can't- It's- and it's hard to find a job now because- | 3206.1498 |
| 2678 | | 3207.1807 | Is it true that, uh, you- you need a diploma or degree to work in McDonalds now or something like that? | 3210.6669 |
| 2680 | | 3211.0337 | I [think-] | 3211.3884 |
| 2681 | DCB_int_01 | 3211.2474 | [Think-] I think it's getting to that point. | 3212.6451 |
| 2682 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3212.6457 | Yeah, I mean, it's getting to that point. Now is that by design? Maybe it is. | 3215.5835 |
| 2684 | | 3218.4653 | It just- I mean, it's- the system in general I don't- it's a lot of things I don't agree with. | 3221.8383 |
| 2686 | | 3222.7797 | Because I've always believed in- My- | 3224.4177 |
| 2688 | | 3224.7931 | I used to think my father was a Black Panther because he- | 3226.8691 |
| 2690 | | 3227.4326 | he preached this stuff all the time. It's a lot of stuff I learned from him | 3230.0380 |
| 2692 | | 3230.8495 | that we never got taught in school. | 3232.3800 |
| 2694 | | 3233.7547 | A whole lot of stuff. | 3234.7515 |
| 2695 | DCB_int_01 | 3235.4648 | Like what? | 3235.8171 |
| 2696 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3236.4756 | Um, like the Statue of Liberty. | 3238.0004 |
| 2698 | | 3240.1726 | Um, originally it's supposed to have been of a- um, | 3242.8496 |
| 2700 | | 3243.7968 | a gift from the Fr- I think from France, /a/ France that, um, | 3246.9018 |
| 2702 | | 3247.9501 | when slavery was abolished | 3249.2092 |
| 2704 | | 3250.3620 | of a black woman. | 3251.2342 |
| 2706 | | 3253.1546 | I don't know- I don't know if she was holding anything. But if you go to the, um, Statue of Liberty now, | 3256.8285 |
| 2708 | | 3257.3108 | you can see that it was changed, you can still see the shackles on the feet of the statue of liberty. | 3261.2041 |
| 2710 | | 3261.8395 | I was never taught that in school. | 3263.1043 |
| 2712 | | 3264.0361 | Never taught that. I taught- I- I- everything I've learned from my father I tell my daughter. | 3267.5175 |
| 2714 | | 3268.1009 | Cause I know they not teaching it in school. | 3269.3513 |
| 2715 | DCB_int_01 | 3269.8486 | Mm-hm. | 3270.2992 |
| 2716 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3271.6818 | Um, | 3272.2132 |
| 2718 | | 3272.4592 | and it's- Of course, | 3273.4885 |
| 2720 | | 3273.6634 | we get taught about the same- we- where we was in school we got taught about the same individuals. | 3277.7012 |
| 2722 | | 3278.4145 | I mean, I ain't- it wasn't really no big issue at the time, but now that I look at it- but I'm starting to learn more. | 3283.0986 |
| 2724 | | 3284.2745 | I- um, | 3285.0109 |
| 2726 | | 3285.8282 | people of color- color contributed | 3287.5003 |
| 2728 | | 3287.8468 | to this city | 3288.4590 |
| 2730 | | 3288.9938 | than ever. | 3289.4386 |
| 2732 | | 3290.1952 | We learned about Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, | 3292.0030 |
| 2734 | | 3292.1560 | um, Harriet Tubman, | 3293.2476 |
| 2736 | | 3294.2676 | um, | 3294.7903 |
| 2738 | | 3294.9318 | Booker T. Washington, | 3295.9021 |
| 2740 | | 3297.0082 | um, Frederick Douglass. | 3298.1113 |
| 2742 | | 3300.6561 | No k- no in- no inventors, we really never learned about- | 3303.0732 |
| 2744 | | 3304.0638 | Charles Drew, that's the only one I remember. | 3306.1089 |
| 2746 | | 3306.7327 | But no vented- inventors | 3308.2055 |
| 2748 | | 3308.5289 | that we learned about that contributed to the city. I mean, because you gotta figure- | 3311.2643 |
| 2750 | | 3313.1212 | Like, um, I can't- I can't remember who it was. | 3315.6688 |
| 2752 | | 3317.4882 | <ts> | 3317.6730 |
| 2754 | | 3319.3941 | But anyway, | 3320.0266 |
| 2756 | | 3320.3500 | slaves in general invented a lot of stuff. Because | 3322.6204 |
| 2758 | | 3322.9034 | why would somebody invent | 3324.1423 |
| 2760 | | 3324.8296 | I- I guess a slave owner invent like, a gadget or something to make them do their job better? | 3329.0725 |
| 2762 | | 3330.0890 | If I'm doing the job, I'm'a figure out a way myself. | 3332.2111 |
| 2764 | | 3333.5694 | Yeah, [to make it easier] for me. | 3335.1173 |
| 2765 | DCB_int_01 | 3333.9044 | [<laugh>] | 3334.6061 |
| 2766 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3335.3368 | And just that | 3336.0587 |
| 2768 | | 3336.5237 | if I see something like that, me being in the position of, I guess, a slave owner, | 3339.9146 |
| 2770 | | 3340.8907 | I'm gonna take your idea and patent it. | 3342.4205 |
| 2771 | DCB_int_01 | 3342.7418 | Mm-hm. | 3343.1524 |
| 2772 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3343.7242 | That's happened a lot. | 3344.4433 |
| 2774 | | 3345.3501 | I was never taught that in school, though. | 3346.5514 |
| 2775 | DCB_int_01 | 3347.1694 | Yeah. | 3347.4264 |
| 2776 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3347.8423 | I was never taught that in school. | 3348.8853 |
| 2778 | | 3350.6123 | But do I think ch- things are going in direction- a positive direction in DC | 3355.1381 |
| 2780 | | 3355.3171 | ch- as far as for change? | 3356.5358 |
| 2782 | | 3357.8036 | As much as I want it, | 3358.5689 |
| 2784 | | 3358.9645 | I don't. | 3359.3255 |
| 2785 | DCB_int_01 | 3360.4870 | What about | 3360.8270 |
| 2787 | | 3361.0472 | <clears throat> with all these new condos and | 3363.0918 |
| 2789 | | 3365.0936 | [gentrification] and- | 3366.6386 |
| 2790 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3365.3824 | [<clears throat>] | 3365.8358 |
| 2791 | DCB_int_01 | 3367.6090 | What is your- what do you think about that? | 3368.8703 |
| 2792 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3369.9978 | See a- a lot of people think that- | 3371.5399 |
| 2794 | | 3373.0791 | Cause at first, | 3373.7260 |
| 2796 | | 3373.8675 | DC was | 3374.6848 |
| 2798 | | 3375.3986 | all black | 3375.8607 |
| 2800 | | 3376.3169 | for the most part. | 3376.9476 |
| 2802 | | 3377.5616 | Now they building these condos, | 3379.3319 |
| 2804 | | 3379.6120 | um, new developments, | 3380.9462 |
| 2806 | | 3381.2759 | and they moving a majority of the black people that was living in the area to PG. | 3384.7269 |
| 2808 | | 3386.7692 | Same thing. | 3387.4969 |
| 2810 | | 3387.6587 | You confine people into one area, | 3389.3866 |
| 2811 | DCB_int_01 | 3389.4058 | Mm. | 3389.8679 |
| 2812 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3390.0036 | with no resources, | 3391.1067 |
| 2814 | | 3391.5746 | what are you gonna expect to happen? | 3392.7389 |
| 2816 | | 3393.0422 | So- | 3393.4551 |
| 2818 | | 3394.5034 | and- and m- and me personally I don't think it's for our benefit they building these new developments because | 3398.9137 |
| 2820 | | 3399.7887 | if you go down t- Man, I- where- where'd I drive to? I drove by the- um, | 3403.1768 |
| 2822 | | 3404.3261 | the wharf. | 3404.8488 |
| 2824 | | 3406.5613 | Haven't been past the wharf in a while. | 3407.8811 |
| 2826 | | 3407.9942 | I drove past it, didn't recognize the neighborhood. | 3409.8338 |
| 2827 | DCB_int_01 | 3409.8078 | Yup. | 3410.0735 |
| 2828 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3410.7695 | At all. | 3411.1895 |
| 2830 | | 3411.9997 | And the stuff they're- I mean, that they're putting up, I mean, it's- | 3414.1777 |
| 2832 | | 3414.4232 | Of course they're gonna put in condos that | 3416.0259 |
| 2834 | | 3416.2396 | the average, um, | 3417.4612 |
| 2836 | | 3418.4552 | person of color | 3419.2782 |
| 2838 | | 3419.9308 | can't afford. | 3420.6066 |
| 2840 | | 3421.7849 | So, | 3422.1834 |
| 2842 | | 3422.7667 | we gonna move you out, but you have the opportunity to move back | 3425.0689 |
| 2844 | | 3425.4761 | in once we finish rebuilding. | 3426.7843 |
| 2846 | | 3427.2088 | I'm gonna tell you that | 3428.0665 |
| 2848 | | 3428.6325 | knowing that once we rebuild and you try to move back you can't afford it. | 3432.4768 |
| 2850 | | 3434.4498 | So now you have to move somewhere that's more affordable, | 3436.5579 |
| 2852 | | 3437.2856 | in a neighborhood that's worse than the one that we just rebuilt. | 3440.0118 |
| 2854 | | 3440.3935 | And nine times out of ten they have been moving a lot of people to PG. | 3442.9117 |
| 2856 | | 3443.6250 | They redoing a whole lot of areas, man, | 3445.1382 |
| 2858 | | 3445.6032 | in DC. | 3446.1958 |
| 2860 | | 3446.7358 | Cause I drove through where I used to live at. | 3448.3097 |
| 2862 | | 3449.3435 | It doesn't look the same. | 3450.2359 |
| 2863 | DCB_int_01 | 3450.6286 | Mm-hm. | 3451.1166 |
| 2864 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3452.5987 | Um, | 3453.2080 |
| 2866 | | 3456.5527 | I- I- I just don't think | 3457.5635 |
| 2868 | | 3457.9504 | that a lot of people, I guess, | 3459.3451 |
| 2870 | | 3459.7958 | black people realize exactly what's happening as far as like, the change that's happening in DC. | 3463.7065 |
| 2872 | | 3465.4652 | They building a lot of condos. | 3466.9068 |
| 2874 | | 3468.3160 | If you notice a lot of schools are closing, too. | 3469.9910 |
| 2875 | DCB_int_01 | 3471.1115 | Mm. | 3471.4985 |
| 2876 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3471.6660 | A whole lot of schools in DC are closing. | 3473.5003 |
| 2878 | | 3474.3666 | Um, | 3475.0106 |
| 2880 | | 3475.8654 | and a lot of schools are getting overcrowded now, because | 3478.2046 |
| 2882 | | 3478.5113 | if it- | 3478.7827 |
| 2884 | | 3479.5711 | It's a school on /??/. | 3480.7089 |
| 2886 | | 3481.0468 | I can't think of the name of the school. /??/ Street, DC. | 3483.2589 |
| 2888 | | 3484.0854 | That just closed but around the corner, it's another school | 3486.7104 |
| 2890 | | 3486.8895 | that's still open. | 3487.5017 |
| 2892 | | 3488.9976 | Um, | 3489.5521 |
| 2894 | | 3489.7288 | majority of kids that go to that school, | 3491.2854 |
| 2896 | | 3491.7272 | have to go to that school because of the, um, the distance. | 3493.8734 |
| 2898 | | 3494.8351 | /and/ the average person in the city, some of 'em | 3496.7411 |
| 2900 | | 3497.2435 | don't have a car to take their kid to like a- uh, | 3499.5394 |
| 2902 | | 3499.8051 | <laugh> | 3500.0736 |
| 2904 | | 3500.6027 | a private school or something like that. | 3502.0610 |
| 2906 | | 3502.6011 | Schools are getting overcrowded, | 3503.8637 |
| 2908 | | 3504.5561 | the teachers are getting stressed out because they can't deal with the volume of kids that they getting. | 3508.0510 |
| 2910 | | 3509.3505 | Um, they building more private schools and they building more, um, | 3512.2880 |
| 2912 | | 3513.6800 | charter schools. | 3514.4066 |
| 2914 | | 3514.8062 | I mean, which- I mean, I think it's good, but | 3516.4696 |
| 2916 | | 3520.3313 | to build | 3520.8857 |
| 2918 | | 3521.0937 | a- like a- um, I can't think of the neighborhood, but. | 3523.3698 |
| 2920 | | 3523.7684 | I know they- they tore down the school | 3525.3004 |
| 2922 | | 3526.7024 | to put up condos. | 3527.7773 |
| 2924 | | 3530.9943 | That's what happening a lot. | 3531.9502 |
| 2925 | DCB_int_01 | 3532.2448 | Yeah. | 3532.5422 |
| 2926 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3533.8105 | So, I mean, and- and do I think it's- in the long term is it beneficial for us? No, because before you look up, | 3538.4340 |
| 2928 | | 3539.3818 | DC will look totally di- it's- it look totally different now but it's gonna get way (laughing) totally different than what it is now. | 3544.3205 |
| 2929 | DCB_int_01 | 3545.6201 | Yeah. | 3545.9493 |
| 2931 | | 3546.2670 | So let me ask you a couple- | 3547.5954 |
| 2933 | | 3547.8004 | I- I totally agree. | 3548.9391 |
| 2935 | | 3549.0687 | I- um, | 3549.7300 |
| 2937 | | 3550.1401 | I think it's really interesting and like to hear- people who have lived here for so long | 3553.7721 |
| 2938 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3553.7471 | Mm-hm. | 3554.0849 |
| 2939 | DCB_int_01 | 3554.1629 | to hear | 3554.7295 |
| 2941 | | 3555.2493 | what they think about it, right? Cause | 3556.7799 |
| 2943 | | 3557.2621 | I don't really have a stake, I wasn't born here, | 3559.1302 |
| 2944 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3559.1392 | Mm-hm. | 3559.4193 |
| 2945 | DCB_int_01 | 3559.6307 | I went to college here and I work here. | 3561.3346 |
| 2947 | | 3561.7244 | So my view, | 3562.7737 |
| 2949 | | 3562.8593 | I- even going to college here now being here now is still very d- like, it's different, right? From when I went to college here ten years ago to now. | 3569.2247 |
| 2951 | | 3569.9784 | Um, and I'm- | 3570.8049 |
| 2953 | | 3571.1284 | I'm fascinated, like | 3572.4452 |
| 2955 | | 3573.9729 | not necessarily in a good way. | 3575.1685 |
| 2957 | | 3575.8298 | Um, | 3576.7718 |
| 2959 | | 3576.8844 | but then to hear people who've | 3577.8865 |
| 2961 | | 3578.1608 | grown up here all their lives to talk about it. | 3580.0148 |
| 2963 | | 3580.3354 | And they're like, | 3580.9187 |
| 2965 | | 3581.6124 | my city's changing. | 3582.7242 |
| 2966 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3582.8599 | Yup. | 3583.0708 |
| 2967 | DCB_int_01 | 3584.2634 | My city's- you know, it is what- you know. So it's just interesting. But I wanna ask you about a couple of things. A piece- a couple of | 3590.3256 |
| 2969 | | 3590.8598 | DC specific [things.] | 3592.4626 |
| 2970 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3592.3326 | [Mm-hm.] | 3592.5868 |
| 2971 | DCB_int_01 | 3592.8357 | Do you listen to go go music? | 3593.8744 |
| 2972 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3593.9937 | Ye- uh, what? Yes. | 3595.0969 |
| 2974 | | 3595.5070 | Born and raised on it. | 3596.3127 |
| 2976 | | 3597.3696 | I still do. | 3597.8692 |
| 2977 | DCB_int_01 | 3598.4040 | Tell me about it, tell me about go go music. | 3600.6806 |
| 2978 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3601.5316 | I mean, go go music was- I mean, | 3603.1719 |
| 2980 | | 3603.7327 | of course, it started like the- | 3605.2863 |
| 2982 | | 3606.1873 | a lot of people know the seventies, it wasn't the eighties. | 3608.0850 |
| 2984 | | 3609.3241 | It's a lot of bands that we never heard of | 3610.9355 |
| 2986 | | 3611.9636 | <clears throat> that are not known or- or relevant now that started out. | 3614.6528 |
| 2988 | | 3615.9205 | Like Trouble Funk or, um, | 3617.8092 |
| 2990 | | 3618.3954 | <ts> | 3618.5196 |
| 2992 | | 3620.7120 | t- | 3620.8044 |
| 2994 | | 3621.0932 | I can't think of the name of them. But it's a whole lot of bands. But | 3623.0598 |
| 2996 | | 3623.6288 | it- I became, I guess, interested in it because | 3626.5287 |
| 2998 | | 3627.7329 | hearing my brother listen to it all the time. | 3629.6451 |
| 3000 | | 3630.9390 | Um, | 3631.5686 |
| 3002 | | 3634.0319 | and, you know, usually at go gos, | 3635.9032 |
| 3004 | | 3636.0655 | it's our crowd. | 3636.8308 |
| 3005 | DCB_int_01 | 3637.0791 | Right. | 3637.3391 |
| 3006 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3639.0256 | And it can happen- it- you can go to- uh, to- uh, I guess- Well, growing up it used- they used to play like, rec centers, | 3644.1174 |
| 3008 | | 3645.2151 | um, | 3645.8799 |
| 3010 | | 3646.9109 | <ts> | 3647.0610 |
| 3012 | | 3647.4105 | football fields or something like that. | 3649.0158 |
| 3013 | DCB_int_01 | 3649.0952 | Mm-hm. | 3649.5099 |
| 3014 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3649.5590 | And I just enjoy the fact that | 3651.2201 |
| 3016 | | 3651.5493 | we can go somewhere and listen to music for free. | 3653.6343 |
| 3018 | | 3654.9108 | Pretty much. | 3655.5577 |
| 3020 | | 3655.9475 | And that's how it was. And I saw how- | 3657.4295 |
| 3022 | | 3658.9023 | in general | 3659.5723 |
| 3024 | | 3659.7543 | how it brung like, a lot of us like, together. | 3661.9785 |
| 3026 | | 3662.5445 | People you didn't know, because | 3663.7603 |
| 3028 | | 3664.0693 | if a band played | 3665.1031 |
| 3030 | | 3665.2591 | on like, Benning Road, | 3666.6597 |
| 3032 | | 3667.0871 | and it's a well-known band, | 3668.1475 |
| 3034 | | 3669.1236 | people from- it ain't gonna just be people from Benning Road that go over there to see that band play. | 3672.3435 |
| 3035 | DCB_int_01 | 3672.7628 | Right. | 3672.9975 |
| 3036 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3673.3953 | People from Northwest, | 3674.4031 |
| 3038 | | 3675.3677 | Southwest, | 3676.1272 |
| 3040 | | 3676.4390 | Southeast. | 3677.0715 |
| 3042 | | 3678.0337 | All the neighborhoods came /here./ I mean, of course, there was some altercations, I mean, for the- the dumbest reasons. | 3682.3481 |
| 3044 | | 3683.5674 | But I think that's why they starting to fade it out and close a lot of clubs because of that, | 3687.5757 |
| 3046 | | 3688.9884 | what happens afterwards. | 3690.1436 |
| 3047 | DCB_int_01 | 3690.6085 | Mm-hm. | 3690.9464 |
| 3048 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3690.9348 | But I- I love- I love go go. | 3692.3874 |
| 3049 | | 3692.5203 | I listen to it almost every day. | 3693.7418 |
| 3051 | | 3694.1057 | [My daughter-] | 3694.6116 |
| 3052 | DCB_int_01 | 3694.1640 | [What makes] go go | 3695.4462 |
| 3053 | | 3695.8910 | [unique?] | 3696.2981 |
| 3054 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3696.2057 | [<clears throat>] | 3696.5349 |
| 3055 | | 3698.1926 | Um, it's cause- | 3699.1658 |
| 3057 | | 3699.8392 | it's different | 3700.4428 |
| 3059 | | 3700.9106 | from any other music that you ever listen to. | 3702.5711 |
| 3061 | | 3702.7559 | I feel it is because- | 3703.8764 |
| 3063 | | 3704.1739 | Of course some of the songs they do | 3705.5346 |
| 3065 | | 3705.6559 | are like, cover songs | 3706.7533 |
| 3067 | | 3707.3049 | of other artists. | 3708.1909 |
| 3069 | | 3708.9221 | But the way they do it is totally different | 3711.1637 |
| 3071 | | 3712.2696 | from the actual version. | 3713.3439 |
| 3073 | | 3713.9504 | Um, it's more upbeat. | 3715.1402 |
| 3075 | | 3715.9661 | You can dance to it. | 3716.9167 |
| 3077 | | 3717.2517 | Like they take slow songs, | 3718.5917 |
| 3079 | | 3718.9787 | and make it a fast song, | 3720.0154 |
| 3081 | | 3720.2898 | which I think is good. | 3721.1561 |
| 3083 | | 3721.9941 | Um, | 3722.5168 |
| 3085 | | 3722.6988 | what makes it unique is | 3724.0532 |
| 3087 | | 3725.7455 | the fact that | 3726.3866 |
| 3089 | | 3726.7077 | <clears throat> | 3727.2824 |
| 3091 | | 3727.7848 | there's | 3728.9804 |
| 3093 | | 3731.0135 | four or five | 3732.0788 |
| 3095 | | 3732.2731 | instruments, | 3732.9287 |
| 3096 | DCB_int_01 | 3733.1106 | Mm. | 3733.3346 |
| 3097 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3734.1416 | um, | 3734.6758 |
| 3099 | | 3735.5017 | coming together, | 3736.2311 |
| 3101 | | 3737.0496 | at one time to play one song. | 3738.7310 |
| 3103 | | 3739.7417 | Of course it takes practice | 3741.1047 |
| 3105 | | 3742.3644 | to do it. Cause you can't- well, | 3743.7275 |
| 3107 | | 3744.0740 | we're not s- | 3744.6227 |
| 3109 | | 3744.7526 | yeah you can't now. | 3745.5793 |
| 3111 | | 3750.2286 | I think it's really really | 3751.5685 |
| 3113 | | 3751.7996 | unique that | 3752.6168 |
| 3115 | | 3752.9518 | in go go | 3753.6449 |
| 3117 | | 3754.3385 | I could be in a band, | 3755.3291 |
| 3119 | | 3756.7268 | your band playing, | 3757.6336 |
| 3121 | | 3758.0003 | I could come on your stage with your band | 3759.7740 |
| 3123 | | 3760.3516 | never miss a beat. | 3761.1515 |
| 3125 | | 3762.2951 | Cause everybody's in tune with ev- Cause of course, you know, in go go people do some of the same songs. | 3766.1279 |
| 3126 | DCB_int_01 | 3766.1741 | Mm-hm. | 3766.4109 |
| 3127 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3766.5582 | A little different from others, | 3767.7888 |
| 3129 | | 3768.7847 | <clears throat> but it's the same songs. | 3770.4255 |
| 3131 | | 3770.7345 | Cause I think go go is like, a- um, in my opinion it's like a connection | 3773.8505 |
| 3133 | | 3774.9190 | of instruments | 3775.7883 |
| 3135 | | 3776.0314 | and individuals. | 3777.0075 |
| 3137 | | 3778.0587 | Um, | 3778.4486 |
| 3139 | | 3778.6363 | just- | 3778.9048 |
| 3141 | | 3779.0897 | I mean, and- and you gotta figure you go to a go go, | 3781.1458 |
| 3143 | | 3781.5507 | you gonna be there for a couple of hours. | 3782.9111 |
| 3145 | | 3783.4422 | It's not /just that/ you going in and see them play one | 3785.7554 |
| 3147 | | 3786.0846 | or two songs, nah. | 3787.1912 |
| 3149 | | 3787.8929 | A variety of songs you will hear one time | 3790.0213 |
| 3150 | DCB_int_01 | 3790.8183 | Mm. | 3791.1620 |
| 3151 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3791.1885 | from other artists that you'll- And then it's- and they do songs that they know you will like. | 3794.3854 |
| 3152 | DCB_int_01 | 3797.4615 | Mm. | 3797.7272 |
| 3153 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3797.6839 | But I l- I love go go, man. | 3798.8072 |
| 3154 | DCB_int_01 | 3799.2751 | What's your favorite- who are your favorite bands? | 3800.8981 |
| 3155 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3800.5208 | <ts> | 3800.6080 |
| 3156 | | 3801.1076 | Now, um, | 3802.1963 |
| 3158 | | 3803.3803 | of course Northeast Groovers who's been around forever. | 3805.3456 |
| 3160 | | 3807.0282 | Um, | 3807.7213 |
| 3162 | | 3808.8885 | <ts> | 3809.0127 |
| 3164 | | 3809.9859 | I like Junkyard and Backyard a little bit. | 3811.7215 |
| 3166 | | 3811.9323 | But | 3812.1258 |
| 3168 | | 3812.4955 | Northeast Groovers. | 3813.2492 |
| 3169 | DCB_int_01 | 3813.2781 | Northeast Groovers? | 3813.9714 |
| 3170 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3813.9972 | Yeah. | 3814.2340 |
| 3171 | DCB_int_01 | 3814.4448 | What about mumbo sauce? Are you a mumbo sauce eater? | 3816.9375 |
| 3172 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3817.3592 | Um, | 3818.0618 |
| 3174 | | 3819.0948 | <laugh> | 3819.7908 |
| 3175 | DCB_int_01 | 3820.7587 | <laugh> | 3821.9687 |
| 3176 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3822.9188 | Yes I am. | 3824.5765 |
| 3178 | | 3825.1257 | Not as much I was as a child. | 3826.9277 |
| 3179 | DCB_int_01 | 3827.2107 | Mm-hm. | 3827.5602 |
| 3180 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3828.7529 | But yes I am. | 3829.5542 |
| 3182 | | 3829.9369 | <clears throat> Not that I'm a mumbo sauce connoisseur, | 3832.3777 |
| 3184 | | 3832.7329 | it's two different kinds. | 3833.7205 |
| 3185 | DCB_int_01 | 3833.6685 | Okay tell me about the mumbo sauce. | 3835.1154 |
| 3186 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3835.2164 | Uh, it's one 'em got a more tangy like, tastes like barbecue- | 3838.9568 |
| 3188 | | 3839.3322 | close to barbecue type flavor. | 3840.5971 |
| 3189 | DCB_int_01 | 3840.6981 | Mm-hm. | 3840.9835 |
| 3190 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3841.2041 | And the other one is a little more sweeter | 3842.9743 |
| 3192 | | 3843.6876 | and more brighter. | 3844.3460 |
| 3194 | | 3844.9092 | One is the same color as barbecue sauce, | 3846.8094 |
| 3196 | | 3847.7312 | and it tastes like barbecue sauce a little bit like a tangy, like, Kansas City barbecue sauce. | 3851.7597 |
| 3198 | | 3852.2044 | The other one, | 3852.9437 |
| 3200 | | 3853.7818 | is the one when you eat it and it gets on your fingers and you eat it, | 3856.2782 |
| 3202 | | 3857.1548 | the color of the barbecue s- I mean, the mumbo sauce is still on your fingers. | 3859.6216 |
| 3203 | DCB_int_01 | 3859.6245 | Mm-hm. | 3860.0085 |
| 3204 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 3860.3522 | It's like a brighter color though. | 3861.4380 |

| 3417 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 4112.2245 | [Yes.] | 4112.8223 |

| 3432 | | 4129.2702 | Real cool guy. | 4129.9552 |
| 3434 | | 4131.3154 | But I bring that up because I think that | 4133.1514 |
| 3436 | | 4133.3369 | really changed my mind as far as like, um- | 4135.7546 |
| 3438 | | 4137.5941 | We do have a lot of problems in our city. | 4139.2113 |
| 3439 | DCB_int_01 | 4140.2972 | Mm-hm. | 4140.6235 |
| 3440 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 4140.9966 | Me being naive at that age- Well, I'm not gonna say naive, /really/ I | 4144.0144 |
| 3442 | | 4144.1617 | just really- I didn't really | 4145.3780 |
| 3444 | | 4146.0191 | see it as- as- as a concern. | 4147.4717 |
| 3446 | | 4148.5056 | Other than my family, | 4149.3921 |
| 3448 | | 4149.9899 | that was my concern. | 4150.8646 |
| 3450 | | 4151.4373 | But going to that program, seeing all these people with all these problems, | 4154.3396 |
| 3452 | | 4154.7728 | drug addiction, | 4155.5092 |
| 3454 | | 4156.1965 | uh, | 4156.4304 |
| 3456 | | 4157.1471 | kids leaving the house running away, | 4158.8712 |
| 3458 | | 4159.2610 | seeing it from the outside, all these individuals. And | 4162.4642 |
| 3460 | | 4162.8223 | those just the ones I came in contact with. I knew it was more, had to be more | 4166.4119 |
| 3462 | | 4167.2037 | that, um- | 4167.8997 |
| 3464 | | 4170.2129 | <clears throat> From then on, I always took a liking to like, | 4172.8905 |
| 3466 | | 4173.1764 | kids. I used to coach football and basketball. | 4174.9986 |
| 3467 | DCB_int_01 | 4175.5473 | Mm. | 4175.8881 |
| 3468 | DCB_se3_ag3_m_02 | 4176.1855 | I've always wanted to be in a position where I'm- | 4178.0915 |
| 3470 | | 4179.5071 | I'm I guess | 4180.5092 |
| 3472 | | 4181.0723 | can play a part in a child's life | 4182.5896 |
| 3474 | | 4183.4173 | in any type of way. | 4184.3679 |
| 3476 | | 4185.0610 | I mean, because I ran into problems when I was coaching whereas though | 4187.6139 |
| 3478 | | 4187.9979 | it was a single mother, child's really really really spoiled. | 4190.5745 |
| 3480 | | 4191.8105 | No father figure in his life, | 4193.3901 |
| 3482 | | 4194.3085 | um, | 4194.7676 |
| 3484 | | 4195.0830 | really really good | 4195.9580 |
| 3486 | | 4196.0937 | at a sport | 4196.5991 |
| 3488 | | 4196.9601 | but had no guidance. | 4197.9881 |
| 3490 | | 4198.7736 | Every little instance | 4199.7994 |
| 3492 | | 4199.9524 | we had during practice, | 4201.0152 |
| 3494 | | 4201.5408 | temper tantrum. | 4202.2165 |
| 3496 | | 4202.4764 | Cussing, yelling, screaming. | 4203.6180 |
| 3498 | | 4204.4546 | And | 4204.9369 |
