And even with friends and everything, I was around them, but it wasn't touching like that. But more so when we got older and sorted, everybody was okay, nobody's going to harm me through their touch like that or whatever. I was able to grow and be more accepting of just being touched. Even more so, going to the hospital for doctors appointments or like doctor's offices rather

Hey, Al. Eric here. Thanks, man. I appreciate your brother for sharing your insights. Sorry about that. My phone was acting weird. Anyway, I appreciate your insights. As always, I enjoyed that stock podcast, and this was an interesting one. And, yeah, I remember all the stories, of course, from the Bible and from all the movies where Jesus would touch people and heal them and that sort of thing

And I know it's pretty much something that we can all relate to. And ironically, it's like sometimes we act in a way that we're getting it from our parents or from somebody else, but a lot of times they don't even know that maybe the person that they got it from, they might have read a story in the Bible, somebody shared the story with them. So they're acting biblically without even recognizing. But that's how it always gets passed down

I am mindful of people's boundaries though, because I know that some folks have been through abuse that have been through physical or sexual abuse, may not welcome touch as easily, especially if that touch reminds them of the abuse that they suffered. But medical professionals in general are becoming more mindful of these sorts of things and respecting people's boundaries. Of course, for a doctor to examine you, he's got to touch you. And that is government guidelines

And I don't really jump as much as I use it's like I know what's going on. And again, like you said, people that are autistic and the touching is a healing and the same as babies, more so, nurturing. So this way they know that everything is going to be okay. They're not being hurt, anything. It goes back with what I said in regards to touching from a sincere standpoint

And that's a good thing that my voice brings people to want to listen and to want to stay tuned, you know what I'm saying? It's pretty much like when you say when God touches someone, you know what I mean? Like my voice reach out and touches people. I hope that was cool. Thanks for the invite, I appreciate that. Keep dropping that hot s*** like you do, you know what I'm saying? Until next time

It's. Good morning, King Pop. How you doing? Al Cosby here, as always say, stay blessed and keep inspiring. You know, always appreciate, you know, your replies to my initial swell cast. And interestingly, now that I think of it. It's sort of like, you know, if you have good parents coming up with just good adults in your life, they always talk to you about good touch versus bad touch

I'm one of those people like if I'm with the guy and if he doesn't grab my hand while we're driving or watching a movie, I won't even think twice about grabbing his hand and I could be in love. So I do because I'm more comfortable with it. I consciously work on it, like hold his hand, touch his thigh. Like, it's crazy

And I like how even when you guys do hold hands and stuff like that, he always asks, are you comfortable with it? Or when you went through what you went through at a young age, did they do it this way or that way? And I know he's not asking in a sense where it's making you uncomfortable, but he just wants to know if you're comfortable with it
