| 0:30.0 | Welcome back to the Quoted The Day Show. I'm your host, Sean Crox and the |
| 0:36.4 | Sean Crox and dot com. We've got Eric Thomas also known as E T the hip hop |
| 0:41.4 | preacher on the show today for your motivation Monday and today's clip is for |
| 0:45.9 | my guys. It's for my dude. It's for all the men out there because not all of us, |
| 0:52.2 | but a lot of us don't have our stuff together. A lot of us aren't taking care of |

| 2:03.4 | our responsibilities and working. Right? There's dignity and work. And some of |
| 2:10.5 | that work, a lot of that work is mundane work. There's a lot of people out |
| 2:13.4 | there like looking for some job that they're going to love 100% and it's going to |
