Life is a gift, but to live is a talent. That's what my Uncle Red used to say all the time. Always act like I was interested in his so called wisdom dropping, or as he would call it, dropping jewels. Yeah, what's up, little nephew? Let me drop a jewel on you. In the back of my mind, I was like, yeah, whatever up. My uncle Red was a heroin addict. I'm actually putting it mildly

Wow. Wow. Mo wait, let me let me do the applause. I was going to try to find an applause, background noise, but let me just do a natural applause. Mr. Mo Johnson. I love it. I love it. You definitely drew me in. I cannot wait to hear parts two through nine. I did not know you were sentenced to 27 years. I suspect you did not do all 27. So I can't wait to hear that twist and that turn

You can learn from other people's life stories if you're willing to listen and to learn. So I'm excited. I want to hear about you, about you, mowing, the things that you've been through. 27 years. My goodness. My goodness. That's a long time. 27 years. But yeah. Thank you for inviting me. I hope you continue to invite me. Thank you. And you're a very good storyteller. Let me say that too

People that know me from the past, people that I'm still good friends with to this day, childhood friends of mine, and I always decline. I had an opportunity to do a documentary. I mentioned that before, but I declined. My brother did a documentary. I never really looked at my life as being fascinated or even worth talking about

Hey, Andrea. How dare you? Of course I'm going to invite you. What? Are you kidding me? You're good people, man. I get a good vibe around you, and it's my pleasure to have you as a swell cast friend or swellcast family member or, you know, just communicating with you. You know, it's my pleasure. It really is. And as I always tell people, I'm not in the field of flattery

Hey, what's going on, brother? Good to hear from you, man. Thanks for stopping by. Anyway, I don't think that you should scrap your project. I don't think you should put it on a shelf. I don't think you should hold it back. I think you should put it out there. Yeah, man. Go for it. Thanks for stopping by once again. Have a great day

It. I don't think you should scrap it. I think you should still do yours, too. You can do yours, and he can do his, and we can learn about both of you all. So I don't think you should scrap it. I think you should still do it. I think people want to know more about you, you know? I know I do. I mean, what caused you to be like you?
I'm not scrapping my drone, but Auntie's been saying that she will help me if I could get it on paper. So I try to write down something every day, and for us, you know what I mean? We talk about two lives in one lifetime, man, you know what I'm saying? And people seem to think that somebody wants to or somebody should hear it, hear the story. So let's write it. Let's tell it. Let's talk about it

Hi, Mo. Wow. Thank you for inviting me to this. Like, the end took me by surprise. I know you had said that, you know, you spent some time in jail and that used to deal drugs and, like, used to be on the streets and things like that, but when you said 27 years, like, you were sentenced to 27 years, my mouth dropped, okay? I did not I did not expect that
