0 (1s):
Welcome to real raw with dr. B, this nationally published author and pastor has made it his life’s work to helping people strengthen their relationship with God themselves and each other with 25 years as a licensed counselor, coupled with his own life experiences with the ups and downs of married and single life. It’s like having a counseling session right in your own home. So without any further ado, it’s time for real roar with dr. B.
0 (33s):
Oh my God.
1 (35s):
This is dr. B and I have a very great co-host today. He looks like me, but I mostly like him. This is my only son Timothy Charles Bradley to second. How you doing son? Hi dad. How’s it going, man? This is my son and he is a genius. Not just because he’s my son, but we’ll go into what he does with programming, building computers and all that other stuff.
1 (1m 8s):
So this is my son though. This is he’ll be 30 October, October. I’ve known him all his life. Incredible. I’ve known him all his life and he has a great story, a great journey, but you know, thanks for coming. So no problem. That’s why I’m here. So, so you went to Naugatuck high school for awhile after the high school, you went to high school in new Haven, right? Yeah. I went to a metropolitan people.
1 (1m 38s):
I’m old, so I forgot little seniles on mass masking. What was called again? It was the highest school in new Haven. It was called metropolitan business Academy. Right. And that’s where you got some of your business background, correct? Yes. And then you went with Wentworth Institute technology Institute. Okay. I know that because I’m paying the loans. I know about that school. Matter of fact, after he graduated, they’ll ask him for, do I want to give a B all the time?
1 (2m 11s):
No, you’re not getting no more money for me. Matter of fact, I’m trying to play off for what we did, but I am glad that you are the second generation Brantley to graduate from college. One of the many one a minute ago. Yes. All right. So also I told my son that this is tomorrow is the birthday of his grandfather, my father, Charles Joseph Bradley.
1 (2m 43s):
He passed away and 13 years ago, November and April poll that, you know, we, we having this conversation and all his grandson and his son aren’t here. So yeah. So it could be very proud of you. So my father, my father worked for IBM and if I were for IBM and okay, there you go. And so, so he worked for IBM and a long time ago. I don’t know. You remember grandpa said that, you know, you were very smart and grandpa also said that, you know, you do some great things technology wise.
1 (3m 22s):
And so I do a little technology, but this kid right here, he is smart. So I’m going to try to follow him, but I probably won’t be able to follow him at all. So you’re going to tell you all the languages, he knows. So Timothy take it away.
2 (3m 36s):
Okay. Take it away. All right. So you know, this is one of those times, and next time we do this, we’re going to do it on the zoom call. Then I’ll show you what I can do. These guys are with guys. Not always, but like essentially I started out doing building computers, like the basics, but I actually went to school for, you know, programming, like it’s just software, but where the industry went was towards websites, which is something that no one even talks about at my school.
2 (4m 10s):
So I didn’t even get
1 (4m 12s):
So, so they didn’t teach you website building?
2 (4m 15s):
No, I taught that to myself, but like that’s, that’s what they that’s, what’s expected of the developers.
1 (4m 23s):
Okay. Let me back up real quick. So there’s a story that Timothy and I go through a lot. I was not the greatest father. I became great or better on improving as the time goes on. But I think you will like what? 15, 16 years old. So we brought him a brand new people, brain new Dell computer, $8,000. All right. This thing called?
2 (4m 49s):
No, it was, it was pretty. Yeah.
1 (4m 57s):
And so I came home once, say you were laughing. I wasn’t laughing. Then I came home and my son dismantled the entire
2 (5m 9s):
Pewter. He’s still mad. Yo,
1 (5m 14s):
He’s still mad. Look at this guy sitting up by my son. I’m pretty dismantle. I mean, I lost, I said, why are you doing? And we were still making payments. I said, what are you doing? And he was so calm. He said, dad, I got this. And I walked away and discussed. I walked away angry, but you know what my son did at 16, he put, okay, what made you want to take it apart in the first place?
2 (5m 46s):
I, I just liked taking things apart. Really? I just do. Yeah.
1 (5m 52s):
But what made you want to wait? Hang on. Excuse me. People private conversation. What are the tools come from? Do you to do that though?
2 (6m 0s):
In our garage, you have plenty of tools that you’ve never used.
1 (6m 4s):
No, for real, he just buy things and then he forgets that he bought it and they just let it sit. I’m just like, okay, I’ll just use this thing. So you went in the garage and got all the tools to do the computer lesson, learn father, if you have a smart son, like I do be prepared for him to go into the garage and undo the attack computer button. You did put it back together and it ran great. So, so, so, so, so again, so do you want one, you went to when it’s to technology, which is in Boston, right.
1 (6m 36s):
And they didn’t teach. Right.
2 (6m 39s):
They didn’t teach anything about building webpages.
1 (6m 42s):
Now, what do you guys do for you? You went for computer science, right? Okay. All right. So what made you get into building,
2 (6m 49s):
Building it just, you know what, after my, you remember I had a, what was it called? Like a work study or apprenticeship. I had some money leftover because you know, they pay you industry standard. And I built my computer and ever since then, I was just into it. You got paid for that, for that job, but not to build the computer. Yeah. They gave me, they give you apprenticeships. Yeah. That’s why, like, I try to do
1 (7m 18s):
Classes on how to do coding websites. Cause he talking about that, y’all he, ain’t talking about the apprenticeship. He forgets forgets I’m old. Right? So, so from that, that will made you want to get it build bill, bill.
2 (7m 36s):
Yeah. Since then I just really liked building sites.
1 (7m 39s):
So tell the people and, and right now I’m really trying to promote my son. So all the banners down there, this, this is a website and this is his Gmail. If you want to build, you want someone to build your computer. You want some to build your website. Sorry. Great guy. So, so tell people some of the, not some dumb, all the languages, you know, they take your time and explain the difference between the two. Right? Number one. How about like, what does he do?
1 (8m 9s):
This? He loves being in charge of, he loves being in charge. God wants to go over that. They just go, people want to go, what a son knows about. You’d be like PHP with PHP. I had not that I heard of him. You see him, you see him. All right. So, so just, just give us quick dynamics of what could you know, what you might be inspiring.
1 (8m 40s):
Someone who who’s 16 years old, who wants to, so just go quick dynamics, all of the different programs, you know?
2 (8m 46s):
All right. So here’s the basis, right? I can make you a webpage. I can make software. I can make a, you know, controllers. Like if I really wanted to odds that just like automatically update your websites, those sorts of things with coding, the, the, the landscape is endless. There’s, there’s nothing you can’t do with it. See like, okay, look, I got a piece of paper
3 (9m 14s):
Shaken my clipboard. Y’all to write grant that. Okay. Give me two brands on Monday. I don’t know why he says,
2 (9m 27s):
See this one, JavaScript what I can do with it. Okay. I can build you a webpage. So just put that as the web, I can a new web page. I can build you nice bots, bots, bots, or like something that just responds. You give it like text and they’ll just respond that to somebody over like a chat or a messenger. Or sometimes it’s like a worker that makes Facebook posts for you like that.
2 (10m 3s):
So also I can do with this. I can do some machine learning or actually
3 (10m 13s):
See, this is where the Pop’s coming out. Yeah.
2 (10m 18s):
People to see it, but you can also do data science. So what’s the data science work. What does that the best way is noticing trends and actually, you know, showing those through statistic and statistical analysis. So basically it that’s what it is. And it could encompass things like machine learning and things of that nature, which is a fancy word for artificial intelligence. So AI, you know, like sky’s real like, like Wilson with movie, but it’s truthfully, all of it is data science.
2 (10m 54s):
It’s like you show machines of people picking things up and it can distinctly label someone picking something up.
4 (11m 0s):
Seriously. Yeah. That’s all it is. Yeah. Okay.
2 (11m 3s):
Okay. It’s simple like that. Okay. So like with this language, I have access to any, but like you add one more, like maybe like Python, Oh, they can’t even see this. Okay. You have access to like all these different technologies.
4 (11m 18s):
So from JavaScript, you can do all this stuff. You just did a while ago,
2 (11m 22s):
Even though I’ve been, even if I’ve only done it for the first time, I can still do it. He has a spot of the family. There’s a spot right here with Python. Okay. We can build web pages again. We can do a lot of days. Data science has done here. Gosh. And a think. Yeah. That’s pretty much it.
3 (11m 43s):
No, no. It’s Python. A division of Java, Java script.
2 (11m 48s):
No, it’s its own. They’re just languages. Programming languages. We have a technical
3 (11m 54s):
Term called scripting language.
2 (11m 55s):
Here’s what, we’re not doing language. Yeah.
3 (11m 58s):
Talk about that and not getting too deep into it, but try to stay as calm as we are. So, so, so people do this. Are they nice? The, the egotistic times depends on who you meet, but people tend to be egotistical language. Like no one has known. Yeah. Sometimes. Yeah.
2 (12m 18s):
It’s a little bit of that. But you meet some
3 (12m 20s):
Really good down to earth people. Like I worked for some people, we do some pretty awesome things and build a rest services and stuff. Okay. Okay. Okay. Can I have my thing? Okay. All right. So, so, so really your life has really expanded because again, they were just trying to teach you computer science. Now that school is known for architecture to very much. Now, now one thing that my son did, that’s very powerful is that how many black folks, black folks at that college,
2 (12m 54s):
I was like, they had a sub session, but
3 (12m 57s):
One of fear, like maybe it had to have been six or 10 people. No, no, no. It’s not even, not like at least five people. So, so let me get digital right now. How many graduated with you gone pumps in Blackboard when you graduate? It’s because I graduated a little later than everyone else graduated people. He graduated glad I did it. It’s not that I did. And now, unless my son goes into a, he has really had great challenges and he overcame every single one of them, including having a dad that wasn’t at his best.
3 (13m 27s):
And thank God that God had his life over him. And he older came to. But I mean, how did you deal with being the only black person, but not the only, but I wasn’t the only one. Well, how’d it make you feel again? Maybe you’re trying to encourage someone who’s about to go to college. Who may be the only black person. Well, truthfully, what was difficult is that there’s like, I think there was a good thousand people, 2000 people that go to my school. It’s a really small college. Or actually I’m not even gonna try to estimate, but I know it’s in the thousands.
3 (13m 58s):
Okay. And it costs a lot of money. People I’ll tell you right now, private schools don’t do it. Don’t don’t. But there was like, there’s 20 people that graduated from my major it’s it was such a low margin because people, we don’t teach computer science, which is programming very well. We try to teach them all the little tiny things that computers do. It’s not important.
2 (14m 26s):
Be like, Hey Tim, can I make this message show up? That’s all most people. Yeah. Or like, can you build me a website? Right.
3 (14m 33s):
It’s all people want. So, so, so looking back on it, I mean, you’re 30 looking back on it. What can you tell a young person who’s about to go into college? Who may be the only black person in their school or in their subject? What, what would you do differently? I know I would do things differently, but I’m going to go first. One thing is like, don’t let tell you what you
2 (14m 52s):
Can do. There were a few teachers who didn’t understand that I had a condition. Like, so what he’s trying to say is I had ADHD and depression. Right? So like, I wasn’t medicated to, I think my late senior year into college. And there were a few teachers that would said, like, I don’t think you can be an engineer because I had failed like physics twice and probability and statistics. I didn’t do well, but all my other classes or like I got BS in, but
1 (15m 24s):
Okay. Okay. Okay. You want to hear my son? I’ll say if we were slowly, this young man, my son, again, I wasn’t paying attention to God was too busy. Did a lot of wrong when he was coming up. Definitely gotten better. But you didn’t hear him. He wasn’t diagnosed with a D H D until his senior year in college. Is that correct? So, alright. So that means you had old. So for those first four years you were dealing with a difficulty and you still learn.
1 (15m 54s):
Yeah.
2 (15m 54s):
I still got it. Snowboarding potty. So yeah. Thanks.
1 (15m 58s):
Yeah. So, so they told you, you wasn’t good enough for it and yet you still maintained. He just thought,
2 (16m 4s):
Oh yeah. I just don’t think you could. He just said like, I don’t think you’re cut out for this major. And for me, it’s just like, I don’t get offended that people tell me that it’s just like, but seriously, who are you to tell me what I can.
1 (16m 18s):
He’s being nice when he says he’s been very nice. We didn’t charge. He’d be very nice, man.
2 (16m 23s):
It’s a, for real, like, did I ask for you to opinion or did I ask you to help me with number eight? Like I care what you do.
1 (16m 34s):
Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. I’m paying your salary to that. Actually think I’m funny. This guy is really funny. All right. But so, so really, you know, what, what kept you going? I mean, I mean, I, okay. Okay. What parents? One thing you should do that I didn’t do, you should have more time with your kid when he goes to college. I only saw you every now and then I should have saw you more. I still feel guilty about that. He’s given me the opportunity. He’s given me for that.
1 (17m 5s):
But definitely when your kids go away, definitely stay in touch with them. Definitely see them. Cause I think that would help. Y’all.
2 (17m 14s):
Huh?
1 (17m 15s):
So, so you graduated and now, you know, so how many languages do you know and stop being on both. So it doesn’t matter the number with 10 people over 10 computer languages. I’m a proud Papa.
2 (17m 34s):
Okay. Alright.
1 (17m 36s):
And so, so are you more of a contractor now?
2 (17m 41s):
I’m definitely more of a contractor, but I’m starting to get the different contracts coming in. Okay.
3 (17m 51s):
Okay. Alright. People leaving some comments here, Timothy Wilson says, God bless you. Both. Ms. Scoggins, how are you doing with Goggins? Good to see you can be enemy Henry. Happy birthday. Executive producer. Henry’s not here Thursday. I doing James Tara. Dwayne unwins Jane’s Alexandria. Good to see your Carmen Louis Louis. But again, to me, the other thing is amazing.
3 (18m 21s):
Why do you think a lot of African Americans or black are not into computer science?
2 (18m 27s):
Cause we don’t know that they can do it. I mean like real talk, we tell our kids and it’s okay to be a rapper, but we, they could be rappers. They can be basketball players, football players, but they don’t know. They can just be normal players in society. You could still do your thing. Right. But Hey, you could be an electrician. You can like, you know, you could do computer science is this that it’s not popular to do. So we don’t really spread it out.
3 (18m 53s):
Okay. So, so, so really, you know, if, if people will apply themselves through the computer science, can they do it? Yeah, for sure. So, so, so really if a kids right now, who is 17 taking apart, their father’s computer. What’s what class? I haven’t gone over yet. Or what class?
2 (19m 15s):
Oh, you still have it? I’m like, y’all don’t know what I came home and saw all those pieces everywhere.
3 (19m 25s):
I was just very upset.
2 (19m 27s):
Tell ya, let me build it myself. But they wanted like, no, we want to get it from Dell. I’m like, I could, I could build a thing. Come on, man.
3 (19m 37s):
Three on his. So, so twice Timothy has fixed my laptop computer twice, twice. And I’m so glad I didn’t tell him that day.
2 (19m 49s):
Yes.
3 (19m 53s):
Because I made, I made pieces. I mean, I can remember came home downstairs. I mean, pieces were everywhere. I mean, and I was, I was like I said, I can’t do it as and what a what? By tomorrow or what?
2 (20m 9s):
No. Same day. It was done. Same day. All right. I know, I know how you are.
3 (20m 16s):
I, when people are private companies, dude, you know, to put it back together,
2 (20m 21s):
It’s the way that you put it back. You always group each, like all your screws. Did you notice? I was gripping in the skirt. Did you notice that? Like I put them what I put, right. So if you have, let’s say you got a table, right? Okay. That’s all right. Yeah. Okay. Right. You’re fixing a computer, right? You put the first part here.
2 (20m 51s):
Second part here. So you always remember, oops. No, that’s all. It’s all good. It’s okay. So you always remember the order of it, but yeah, but that’s how you,
1 (21m 4s):
So then you work backwards when you put it back together. Yeah.
2 (21m 6s):
That’s what you’re doing. And then when you put the screws, I always put in the same combination they were screwed in. Or I put all the screws in the same place, just regardless, because a lot of the stuff they use the same screws. It’s not like, Oh, they’re using a disc group for this group. It’s the same stuff. Same stuff.
1 (21m 23s):
Yeah. I mean, I mean, so, so I can remember when you were small. I use a lot of computers, but my computer learning was really in Excel. Word, PowerPoint, Microsoft family. Yes. But you took it to hold on the level where you do the language that actually makes Microsoft word Excel. Is that correct? Yes. Wow. Okay.
1 (21m 53s):
Now I, time is almost up and we may come back later on. So your Twitter name
2 (22m 0s):
Is the ox King. Alright.
3 (22m 2s):
Bebo put your seatbelt on.
1 (22m 5s):
Explain why you called ox. King
2 (22m 8s):
Skiing is a dragon ball reference to anyone that’s ever watched dragon ball. Our dragon ballsy. It’s like an Anna Mae, right? Well is an anime it’s made by a carrier. A curatorial mamma. Kira Tori. Yeah. He’s Japanese. Yeah.
1 (22m 28s):
Japanese. I didn’t want to say nothing, right?
2 (22m 30s):
Yeah. So the father, so the father of the main character, who’s his name is GOCO. Goldman. Yeah. The father of his wife is, is cause wife’s father is the ox King. And he’s like just
3 (22m 46s):
Why father yeah.
1 (22m 48s):
Is asking. And one of the super powers of the ox communities is
2 (22m 52s):
It’s he’s really strong. And then he wears an iron hat and he just has a mountain full of gold. Yeah.
1 (22m 60s):
And what a ox Kings. He’s just a cool,
2 (23m 4s):
He’s just a cool dude. Right? That’s all he is. He’s an old man.
1 (23m 8s):
I’m recovering one. Now again, I doing Kendra, Kendra, all these women.
2 (23m 16s):
I think it’s fine. You’re you’re the one that’s making a big deal.
1 (23m 22s):
Just be cool. So, so, so, so, so I’ll be honest. One of the things that bothered me when he was coming up was that he played games so much and we would go back and forth about gaming gaming. But I think actuality, did it help you with your add? It did. How did it help you?
2 (23m 42s):
So it’s how you gain. That makes a difference back in the day. I’d play for hours. Not even think about it, but now I’ll play like maybe two, three, four hours and those spread out throughout the day, but it’s a guided practice. So I try to, yeah. So what I’m trying to do is there’s a certain, maybe technique I want to get down or some way of thinking. I think about that. And I work on that, whether that means training in the, you know, training room or just like practicing it and game.
2 (24m 19s):
And that’s kind of how I got really good.
1 (24m 21s):
So, so really people, again, this is my confession that a lot of things I thought my son would be, I was concerned about. He’s really made it into a way that works for him, that now he’s becoming this very powerful young man that knows computers, knows that get along with people. And he’s very funny as well. So I mean, come on. But we know it’s kind of like these past three or four years, I think we’ve grown up together.
1 (24m 52s):
We’ve gone through some difficulties together and our bond has become stronger. And I love that. Now I will confess again, last Saturday we went to Golkar. Let me tell my story my way. Okay.
2 (25m 11s):
Why he does this? I really don’t.
1 (25m 14s):
And so he was in front of me. Okay. My son was what’s called a T Waterbury Raceway, something like that. And so he was in front of me. Right. And I was behind him. So he was caught on when I was in the car number two. And so I’m competitive. So is he I’ve necessarily done that. So, so, so the first laugh, stop it. It’s the first lab, you know, he’s ahead of me hitting me. I said to myself, I talked to the bar.
1 (25m 44s):
I didn’t drive. I’m a pass him. So I was, I was going, yeah.
2 (25m 49s):
Yeah. You go pretty fast to say that I passed them. It was good for him. I was going to get the cookie. It’s a cookie.
1 (25m 57s):
I want an Oreo cookie. And so first race I won. Right. And so then we have back to back races. And so they, they stopped us. They start up again. So I’m in front of Jim. Okay. I’m going fuck. I’m in front of him. I’m I’m I’m driving. Boy. I would assume the zoom was over less than I know. Cause who passes me?
2 (26m 21s):
You paid me.
1 (26m 24s):
It was good. How’d it feel to pass. And when you did that,
2 (26m 28s):
I was just waiting for that stretch. And just when you hit him with, with, to go to take a slow coronary, just go,
1 (26m 36s):
You know what? And fathers out there, please hear me loud and clear to me. I want my son better than I.
3 (26m 44s):
And I’ve another story. But when he passed me, I wasn’t mad at him. I wasn’t upset. I was like, guess what? I taught them how to do this. So guess what? Pass me. He goes, he’s young. Are you smart? Smart, handsome. I he’s six foot clean anyway, before we end this thing here. Wow. Terrible mind. We’re almost at 30 here. So I taught my son chess. Yep. Is that correct? Yes, he did. Okay. I’m still with that story, but I taught him chess and I think I taught you what, when they wanted to three lessons.
3 (27m 20s):
Yeah. After that. Yup. It just, he didn’t want to play me no more. Kick my butt. Nobody wants to play with me. That’s correct. Nobody wants to play chess with you. <inaudible> yes. Yeah. You know why though? Want to know why it’s because, okay. There’s this guy in my freshman year. He told me yes. Yo, this man he’s he was from Cambodia.
3 (27m 51s):
He spoke. Yeah. He’s Cambodian. He also spoke tight and like, you know, he was the hardest, like he was the most difficult opponent of ever. Yeah. I think like I beat him three times. Yeah. Three times. But because we played together, did you learn from him? Yeah. I went to the chess club and I kid you not, we just went around and we beat everybody there. Yo. But that’s like, that’s also the other thing to getting better.
3 (28m 22s):
You have to fight with other strong people. Like even if you lose zero 30, like, did you learn anything? Did you grow from that experience? Did, do you, did you change your approach in any way? And that’s like how it evolved? Yeah. Like even, even some of my friends they’ll be like, why can’t you play with me? You’ve lost every game. G like every game don’t, you know, you’re not going to beat me. And I’m just like the next time.
3 (28m 52s):
That’s that, that that’s something, that’s something. Oh, glory to God that the Bryant Lee have in us. We don’t know how to say uncle. We don’t know how to, we don’t know how to say, give up my daughter’s the same way a Johnson. Hi, Jocelyn, you see this weekend, you know, we don’t know how to give up. And that’s why I’m so proud of you. So thanks. I am. I am very proud of you. I’m not just proud of your accomplishments, where you’re going with your website with computer building.
3 (29m 24s):
I’m proud that we still have a great relationship and it’s growing. And one thing of any great man was his grain of salt. He wants to make sure his children are doing well, especially if he has a son. And I’m telling you that the world. No, no problem. Thank you. Alright, so you want to come back and do another one? Are you sure? Alright. People, we’re going to leave this on and come back and we’ll start Michelle. All right.
