^M00:00:05 >> Jason Reynolds: Yo, what's happening, what's happening, what's happening? What's goodie, what's goodie, what's goodie? I hope you all are well. I hope you all are well, I hope that you all are well. Welcome back to another, another, another, another, another episode of the Write Right Rite with me, Jason Reynolds. Summertime. Right? Normally we want to move, and this year, it's going to be a little different, obviously, but I was thinking to myself, maybe I'll take a road trip. And then, when I was telling myself that, like because I'm, you know, I'm not flying right now. So, I was like, maybe I'll take a road trip, and I was thinking like yo, how cool would it be to ask you all if you were taking a road trip. Let's say you were driving from where you live across the country. Right? And if you live in the middle of the country, you have to drive to the West or to the East, to the North or to the South. ^M00:00:47 If you live in the South, you got to drive all the way up to the North. ^M00:00:49 If you live in the North, you got to drive all the way down to the South, from the East to the West, across the country. ^M00:00:54 ^M00:00:55 But you've only got to ride with one person, and it could be any person on earth. ^M00:00:59 Let's assume that you're driving, you know, at 13-years-old or 10-years-old or 14. Right? ^M00:01:06 Or let's say you got one of those Tesla joints that drive by themselves. Right? Since we living in that time. But think about that. Right? You get one person to take in the whole world, and it can't be a family member. Right? ^M00:01:16:15 So, it can't be a family member, one person that you admire, that you want to hang out with. Right? Like you might want to be like, yo, I want to take, take Travis Scott and take -- I'm going to take Ariana Grande. ^M00:01:28 Whoever, right? I'll take Beyoncé on a road trip with me. Whatever it is, right? Now, here's the trick though. You've got to tell me why you choose this person that you admire or this person that you like, and how -- and why you think they would make this sort of amazing trip, and what you're most concerned about, that might make this a terrible trip. ^M00:01:50 Like what if you were Drake, and it's cool, and all of a sudden, he be like, I don't know, doing that weird singing-crying thing, and it just messed up your whole jam. Right? Whatever it is. Right? But what if you're with Travis Scott, and he just keeps screaming, it's lit, out the window, the whole trip. Right. It's fun. ^M00:02:05 And eventually, you're like, ehh. So, talk about what's good about it and what's bad about it, and you know, let me know how the trip goes. Next time, invite me. You know what I'm talking about? Because it's all good with me. And I'm going to holler at you all. ^M00:02:17 Oh, and before I go to the grandfather, he drive way, way, way too slow. Seriously, he got to step it up. Put your foot on the gas, pops. All right. Peace. ^E00:02:25
