 *Applause could be heard everywhere. Just another episode of The Weekly Show. Noah Michaels is pretty excited about his next guest*

Noah: Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of The Weekly show. Tonight's guest is one of the world's most influential people, a writer and artist ladies and gentlemen let's welcome Dwayne Jacobs.
*Applause*

Dwayne:Thank you. Thank you.

Noah: welcome Mr. Dwayne. It's a pleasure to have you.

Dwayne: The pleasure is all mine.

Noah: Let's not waste any more time. I have tonnes of questions to ask you. First, do you think experience is dictated by age?

Dwayne: Ummmm no.

Noah: Why is that?

Dwayne: Because age is not experience. Let me give you my perspective. I think age is defined as how long you've existed in this world. Experience is the number of times you've faced a certain occurrence. Age is often so forced into age but a few really tried thinking about it. Someone can live for 78 years but they haven't been living. They haven't been living in terms of seeking adventure, trying things, taking risks, meeting new people, loving and exploring. Someone who hasn't done any of these but has lived in this world for 78 years can never say they are experienced. A 20 year old who has constantly interacted with these, over and over again within their youthful time period now that is what I consider as experience. The human behaviour is extra ordinary. It doesn't remain the same. It keeps on changing. It keeps on switching. Put 3 people each born in different time frames like the 90s, the early 2000s and the late 2000s they think differently. Each have their own view and each have their own level of experience regardless of their age. The human behaviour is never constant, it's never static it keeps changing l, it keeps morphing. Adapting to everything else. Your experience can be invalid tomorrow it can be outdated. Because people keep changing. The art of being experienced should be in hand with adapting to behaviour. The way the 90s kids used to court isn't the same as 2020. Your experience in love, for instance is outdated because certain or many aspects of behaviour have drastically changed. Experience is not determined by age, rather the interaction. The study, the observation and the constant trial.

Noah: That's a bold statement to put out there but we all have our views. On to the next question...Do you think these days parents are aware or properly educated about mental illnesses or know how to help out in such a situation for their young adult kids?

Dwayne: Mental illnesses are so common in the present world, it's become so frequent that it scares me. The problem with most or all of parents around are sort of arrogant about the matter. Don't get me wrong not arrogant about their kids but about the mental illness itself. Arrogance can be a wide single word to use but let me specify. Reasons why they ignore it is because a greater number of them never actually experienced mental illnesses. Years back things were so different. The only time someone was described as mentally ill is when the bastard goes to the streets walks butt naked before everyone. Now that's a mentally ill person. That's really not the case because so many mental illnesses are being discovered and coming up. Most parents haven't been emotionally available especially in the young adult phase of their kids. A plain truth which boomers will never accept is that once your kid stomps on the ground of "sweet 16" the idea of knowing your child 100% is nothing but Utopia. A plain lie. They let you see what they want you to see. This might be because you haven't been allowing them to freely express their true thoughts and feelings due to the fear of being stigmatized by their parents' beliefs and spirituality concepts. Some stuff for sure are immoral yes but to deny expression is a lethal way of handling them. The idea of "I feed you" or "I house you" is not enough to be classified as elite parenting but actually rather one dimensional type of thinking. Patents should actually be true therapist!

Noah:Do you think most young boys lose ways because of poor father figures? To add to that.

Dwayne: HMMMM.... You've mentioned a father figure...What is a father figure?

Noah: well a father figure is like a male version of a leader speaking in a symbolic way though..

Dwayne: Wait a minute! A father figure is a queer way to put it but why don't you say father? If you separate the two it may seem like it's optional to be a father without being a father figure that is ludicrous without a doubt. Most young guys or even girls have rarely experienced quality time to learn from dad's and sons are the biggest victims here. You hear fathers ran from their families, neglect the kids, 0 emotional support and the less communicating ones. A father figure is what most of them don't have or have so little of it to offer. It's so possible to love your kids but luck the father figure element you get me? I Didn't say "fuck them kids" please. Be available!

Noah: You come from the country Kenya, what's the one thing which makes your country look so bad?

Dwayne: Noah, the only thing I'll miss while I'm here with you is my flight back! The system is in shambles, boomers make no sense. We are ruled by a spoilt brat who got everything he always wanted while he was a boy a deputy who boasts of having a PhD but wait wait wait. It's a PhD in plant ecology.

Noah:A beg your pardon?

Dwayne: Uncut and uncensored. We are ruled by old fools but because of old beliefs we are brainwashed to think that the youth are stupid and the old are wise, the young are inexperienced and the old are experienced. The decision making in this country is horrendous! Pure comedy. The youth have no voice here, not even a little. Ow another thing is Shitty police. I remember getting stopped just because i was young. I was just getting some milk.

Noah: Fuck 12?

Dwayne: Yessir!

Noah: Ladies and Gentlemen there we have it, Dwayne.

*Applause*

Congratulations on your book. We really can't wait to read it. make sure you all grab a copy of your own. " The Young Wave". Any advice you'd like to give all the youth watching out there?

Dwayne: Of course,

never stop working on yourself,

never quit because someone older told you "no you can't",

stop believing and relying on politicians to change,

gather experience as early as possible because experience doesn't come with old age,

teach your parents on mental illnesses, break the bond of arrogance before becoming parents,

never seek happiness from where you lost it,

enjoy your youthful days because they all finish up.

Noah: There we have it folks, thank you so much, this has been The weekly show. Goodnight everybody.
