1:52
donald trump donald trump is donald trump yeah I don't want to delve into what Donald Trump thinks.
2:03
It's just him.
2:04
It's unique in its own sense.
2:08
So I think we should just stick.
2:10
We call it soccer.
2:12
It's been called soccer for decades.
3:33
no
3:38

to think clearly and i'll be like right so who do i cut off first
3:52
no that's a joke that's a joke that was a joke but yeah i would i would rest i would i would first because you can't think clearly if you're not resting if you're not sleeping you cannot think clearly and so you make bad decision so what i would do first of all is not tell my wife because what she would do first of all is to force me to go i'm gonna take a short break now we're back shortly You've been listening to the Alien Spaceship Talk Show with Trevor Gear and Edney Hickens.

give it all to me.
4:04
I think the first week for me will be a week for thinking, reflection, meditation and probably planning.
4:15
There's no time to sleep.
4:17
We sleep eight hours, roughly eight hours or nine hours each day.
4:21
So that's enough sleep on its own.
4:25
So for me, I've got plans of my own, dreams.
4:34
businesses I've been researching into or stuff I've been researching into.
4:41
to
0:56
You're listening to the Alien Spaceship Talk Show Podcast with Emi Hickens and Trevor King.
1:06
So it's time to be...
1:09
There are some that I've got contacts and I've not been able to reach out to some of these contacts.
1:17
There's some constraints.
1:19
So probably just reach out to some of these people, then just plan and organize.
1:30
I can take it all from where I left it.
1:37
I left some of the plans.
3:38
Okay, business, right, okay.
2:58
How old are they? One, six,
3:02
the other three.
3:35
Now, God forbid, but if one of your children came home to say that to you, what would your reaction be, as far as you could tell now when it's not actually happened? What do you think your reaction would be?
3:47
To be sincere, I would be mad at him for not waiting.
3:56
Yeah, because you never can tell what would have happened to the other person.
4:03
So the thing, what I'll do is, okay, let's go back in the car.
4:08
Let's go back to where you're coming from.
4:10
We need to make sure the person is okay.
0:32
That might be
0:33
what could save the person's life.
0:36
And then the person just lived there and probably no one sees the person and, you know, stuff like that.
0:43
So we'll get back into the car, drive down to the place, try to look out for the person, If the person is okay and is ready, he says, okay, let's forget about it.
0:58
I'm fine.
0:59
It was just a need to bang.
1:00
And, you know, yeah, that is a different thing.
1:21
to
3:09
okay do you agree with that uh jerome as well is that your view
3:13
yeah yeah so kind of just just make sure you do the right thing on your part because one you covering up that makes you an accomplice right and um yeah so just go to the whatever the if it's if you're still not done it mistakenly we all make mistakes yeah so yeah just go there Explain, do your part as a dad.
3:45
Yeah.
3:46
So if it requires you getting a lawyer to stand in, you know, to represent him or her, just in case it's going to go, it's going to get escalated.
3:57
Yes, be there.
3:59
Give him the assurance you're there for him.
4:02
And, you know, just
4:04
something.

1:53
And in case you're just joining us, you're listening to the Alien Spaceship Talk Show podcast with Emi Hickens and Trevor
2:02
Gere.
2:02
Hope it's nothing serious.
2:05
Yeah, and just let the authority do their findings.
5:13
What would you say?
5:14
Okay.
5:18
So there are times, yeah, I just, you just, I read the room.
5:24
Yeah.
1:31
Yeah.
1:32
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine.
1:35
At times, you're busy, you're trying to do something and they want the attention at that point.
1:43
And if you say, oh, if you don't tell them what they want to hear at that point, then you're going to get distracted the more.
1:52
So I'm not trying to justify it, but at times you say, okay, that's fine.
1:57
Yeah, it's
1:58
good.
1:59
lovely so you can focus on what i can focus on what i'm doing
3:01
Is it right to risk their physical health by boxing? So what's your view, Jerome, on boxing generally? And then would you split it between men and women in any way?
3:14
Boxing is a very entertaining sport and my personal perspective on boxing, going into any sport is by choice but what I think the organisers should do is to make more as I say, legislatures or laws to protect people.
3:39
I know for like in amateur's division, they use these, the headgear just to protect.
3:45
Yeah.
3:46
Yeah.
3:46
I think, yeah, they should, they should make more, more regulations that will protect individuals.
3:57
Probably when the referee uses his imagination and think, okay, This shouldn't go on, you know, just make more law, just do regulation, just to keep people safe and not to, at the end of the day, not to like Muhammad Ali.
4:19
I think I had, if I'm not wrong, he had Parkinson's or something at the end of his life.
1:53
And in case you're just joining us, listening to the alien spaceship talk show podcast with emmy hickens and trevor
2:02
so um i'm sure they do research on boxes or xboxes see what sort of sickness they do after retirement and stuff like that what what would have led to it You know, probably punch to the head.
2:19
So I'm sure they should make regulations just to protect some of these boxes so that they don't end up like that in the future.

Terms apply.
1:03
I like cappuccino and fish rice from the sea.
2:13
And we call him the Brummie
2:14
King.
2:18
It's going to stick.
2:19
No way,
1:40
about you, Jerome? What about Jerome? Jerome, do you fly? Do you like flying?
1:45
Yeah, I do fly.
1:46
I love flying.
1:48
In life, there's risks to everything you do.
1:51
so absolutely yeah yeah if he wants to travel you never can say he might enjoy flying so
2:48
i'll let the brahmi king go first
2:52
okay so um due to my background yeah um i'm going to look at this from a religious point of view probably science yeah but yeah from religion uh we've been taught that um before we are created God has designed what we're meant to be.
3:24
And if you look at it from that angle, you'll be like, okay, probably it's meant to happen and that.
3:32
But looking at it, there are some certain things that happen to you as well.
3:38
You're like, it's the God I serve.
3:41
It's um what would be the best word to use this uh unfair looking at things that happen to individuals let me not say myself yeah see the unfair you see kids uh little kids dying that i've not even done nothing what dying you know and stuff like that but on the other hand We make decisions, and when you make decisions, there are repercussions for every decision you make.
4:19
So if you, let's say someone that decides to go shoplift, and he or she gets arrested, Yeah, the arrest would be as a result of him or her shoplifting.
4:50
You've been listening to the Alien Spaceship Talk Show with Trevor Gear and Edney Hickens.
2:02
The
2:02
result of Imoha's shoplifting.
2:07
So, yeah, for that, I can say, yeah, it's meant to be because you know the repercussion of these things.
2:13
Then why did you do it?
2:15
So, for me,
2:19
I'll look at it from different angles.
2:22
And, um...
2:24
And I would say, yes, looking at it from the religious, because I'm being religious, I can't take that out of me.
4:02
Yeah.
4:03
Most of the members of the team are from Barcelona, play for Barcelona, the Spanish team.
4:15
I think, yes, most of them possibly come from Barcelona, yeah.
4:19
I know the men, I know most of them are from Barcelona.
4:21
I'm just trying to add one or two
4:12
so you so you two you don't sing the national anthem or you wouldn't sing it jerome did you say if you actually sing the national anthem if you're in that situation
4:24
um
4:26
I'll say
4:26
yes.
4:27
I'll sing the national anthem.
4:29
So my reason for singing the national anthem, just forgetting about every political and religious view, I just think the anthem is just there to represent the country, to show your pride, for you to display.
0:26
listening to the alien spaceship talk show podcast with emmy hickens and trevor
0:32
just forgetting about every political and religious um view uh i just think it's um the anthem is just there to represent the country to show your pride for you to display um what the country represents and you understand.
0:54
And it's just a sport game, right? And these players, they're there to represent the country, right? I know these days, let's just forget about England.
1:07
It's not just England.
1:09
So many countries, you see some individual players deciding not to sing songs.
1:15
it could be a religious view or probably there's something happening in the country they don't like and they're trying to protest yeah which is understandable everybody's got their rights so I'm not like imposing it on anyone but you're singing the national anthem I believe most national anthems were created so that people would be proud of the country they come from It stays, oh, this is what the country represents.
1:47
We are proud and proud to come from this country.
2:18
That's the point, isn't it?
2:19
Yeah, well, there are theories that conspire.
2:28
They conspire between some beliefs and fiction.
2:33
Now, conspiracy theories, because of the name itself, conspiracy theory, and we know what theories are.
2:46
Theories sometimes are different from the factual event.
2:51
They're theories, you know.
2:54
And some conspiracy theories will always remain theories.
4:47
We're
3:04
about Jerome? What do you think, Jerome? Are you into conspiracy theories?
3:10
You see, some of these theories have been disputed because the evidences provided are either weak or selective.
3:23
And if there's a theory and you claim there are lots of people involved and none of them is coming out to say, then there's something, I just feel there's something dodgy about it.
3:44
I wouldn't say, I'm not there, but I wouldn't say outrightly, but it's kind of shady, some of them.
3:53
kind of shady and um some of the predictions some of them don't even materialize don't come to to play so at times i think some of the theories are shady that's my thoughts
2:23
And in case you're just joining us, you're listening to the Alien Spaceship Talk Show podcast with Emi Hickens and Trevor Gear.
2:33
Thank you.
2:35
And if there's a theory and you claim there are lots of people involved and none of them is coming out to say, then there's something, I just feel there's something dodgy about it.
2:56
I wouldn't say, I'm not there, but I wouldn't say outrightly, but it's kind of shady, some of them.
3:05
kind of shady and um some of the predictions some of them don't even materialize don't come to play so at times i think some of the theories are shady that's my thoughts
5:58
And I've been Hickins, and he calls me Kaz.
6:02
Jerome, yeah, who am I now?
1:37
What's your view of social media?
1:40
Okay, personally, I'll describe it as a double-edged sword because it could be a force of good because with social media, you can see lots of people get empowered via social media.
1:56
Yeah, and it connects the world.
1:58
People, with social media, you can connect.
2:03
Chat with someone that is far away, you know, probably on the other end of the world, you know.
2:11
It connects people, empowers people.
2:14
It has generated lots of employment to some individuals and, you know, so that's the positive.
