That's right. But that shouldn't stop you from being who you are. I got my niece, salute to my niece, Nala Simone. And she says this, and it's very genderless when she says it. She was like, you like to save hoes. Stop trying to save these hoes, right? And I can't stop being me, meaning that God's not going- Well, you can save hoes all you want.
That's right. And I mean, they may become one.
So I'm saying like God's not going to judge me based off how people treat me. He's going to judge me based off how I treat people.
That is a fact.
That is beyond helpful. Beyond helpful. Because I'm the type of person, I feel like if anything you build only benefits you, it's not big enough. So I'm never going to stop being of service to people. But what you said is absolutely true. Once you get that data and you know who a person is... You know whether to pull away or how much to give or not to give at all anymore.
Because it's bullshit. Why do you think it's bullshit? Two things happen with small talk. And Mel, I know you know this. People will come up to you like, you know, I really like the frame of your glasses, Mel. You know that's not what they want to talk about. They got something else they want to ask you. So they're just beating around the bush to ask about it.
I'd rather you just come to me with whatever it is. I don't want the appetizer. I didn't order appetizers. I want the straight entree. When it comes to conversation, give me the entree. I don't need to be warmed up. Especially when you know what it is you actually want. You know what the request is. You know what it is you want to talk about.
Don't try to warm me up to the conversation because it's just bullshit and we know it.
Intention and goals. Like, you know what the intention of your conversation is and you know what the goal you're trying to reach in the conversation is. So just get to it. Like, you know what it is. That's literally what the opposite of small talk is. The opposite of small talk is I have an intention. I have a goal. I'm going to go up to this person and I'm going to have the conversation.
I remember being a young guy doing radio in Columbia, South Carolina. First time I ever met Wendy Williams. She's down there doing her nationally syndicated show from one of the stations in Columbia. I walk in the studio. I got mixtapes and I got parody songs I want her to hear. And I'm like, yo, I got these mixtapes. I got this parody song I want to hear. I give it to the board.
I'm like, yo, put this in. Wendy goes, yo. Take that mixtape shit to my motherfucking husband. Literally, just like that, verbatim, like no small talk, no beating around the bush. I wasn't offended. I go, well, where's your husband? She was like somewhere in there. So I went looking for her husband and he was in the conference room. Guess what? He was just sitting in there.
He had time to listen, right? But that was me not having no small talk. Hey, this is what I'm here for. I'm a radio personality. I got these parody songs, these mixtapes I want you to have. She didn't have no time for small talk because she's trying to do her show. And that got me on the right path. We forged a relationship that ultimately led me to New York.
I don't care. I really don't. I don't pay no attention. That's something I stress to everybody around me. Stay off social media. We are all in verbally abusive relationships with our smartphones. Why? Why would you allow somebody to talk to you like that? You wouldn't allow somebody to talk to you like that in real life. So why do you go online seeking it?
Why would you go look at comments in a YouTube channel or comments in a, you know, on Twitter? I ain't been on Twitter since 2019. Like everybody running now because of Elon Musk. Forget Elon Musk. I ran because of my mental health. I need to protect my peace. I used to get on Twitter every morning and say, thank you, God, for blessing me with another day of life.
Guaranteed, like clockwork, it would be somebody saying, I was praying you died. You know what I mean? So it's like, why would I put myself up to that? I don't need to go on Twitter to thank God. I thank God every day of my life. So for me, it's like, just don't read it. Like, literally, turn your phone off. Like, I remember my man Trick Trick, he's a rapper out of Detroit.
I remember one time I saw him say, Man, as soon as I do this and he turned his phone off and put it down, I don't even know what the hell y'all talking about. And listen. It's so true. Ignorance is bliss. You ask anybody that works with me. I've come into radio stations sometime. Did you see such and such? Nope, I didn't. What happened?
Like, I love being clueless because literally why would I care about what another person's opinion of me is? And the other thing I tell the folks is they're supposed to talk about you. If they're not talking about you, then you're probably not doing what it is you're supposed to be doing. You're not making no impact whatsoever.
So whether or not they're talking good about you or whether or not they're talking bad about you, they're talking and the algorithm doesn't know the difference.
No, I'm not. Yes, you are. That's just a little common sense. Because, you know, I write about it in the second book about the tsunami of, you know, social media, because what we don't realize is sometimes we spend so much energy on people we don't like.
So you're constantly talking about that person, talking about that person or that person said something. So everybody's coming at that person. But then that person's actual supporters. They start coming to they start commenting. So now everybody's arguing in the comments about you. But the algorithm don't know. All they know is Mel's been mentioned 10,000 times in the last hour. So who cares?
