So, I welcome you to another video. I am Zdena from Podraz na druhou, and in this video, I would like to focus on the comments and messages that have been coming to me lately. And since there are more and more of them, it's a huge problem to answer them sequentially because they multiply and are repetitive. So, I would try to wrap it up in some way, and you might already guess what this video is about from its title. It's about the fact that, even though it has become a relatively good brand, in quotes, because, firstly, you, as fans, started calling me that, and secondly, the name actually sells well, in quotes, it's well-watched, right? So, despite these positive qualities, I am abandoning the designation 'young Olda Říha' because, after certain knowledge and certain information I received, I no longer want to have anything to do with this name. It's about being in contact with former members of the band Katapult who, in some way, described Říha's behavior towards them and the approach that caused them to leave the band, or rather, be fired. And simply, when I found out the reasons – I won't publicly spit it out on the internet here – but when I simply found out the reasons and what kind of person he actually is, then I refuse to take over his brand in any way or to make a name for myself with him or cooperate with him in any way. I simply have my own brand, Podraz na druhou, which stands for something, and Říha's behavior, Říha's, 'Říha the second Katapult,' and similar nonsense, because with this brand, simply, I have been a fan of Katapult my whole life, and of those songs, that characteristic of the band that the brand actually represents. So, with the passage of years and time, one discovers that all this approach is absolute hypocrisy and that most of the stories that Katapult sings and plays are simply not real. They are simply just conjectures, and in the end, when Olda is supposed to behave according to the songs he sings, he absolutely does not stick to them and does the exact opposite, thereby actually denying the qualities of Podraz na druhou, which simply clearly states that we behave as we are, we are like that without pretense, without a mask. And simply, for those who don't know a broad characteristic of what Podraz na druhou actually means, we know well that it's not just a band's or music's brand, that it's not just a musical source, but it's also a philosophy overall, very simple, very straightforward, but also simply black and white, where one can distinguish very well between a fool, a hypocrite, and simply people who are truly serious about good. So, I'll put a little cut here about what Podraz na druhou actually is and why I can no longer cooperate with Říha or Katapult.
The brand Podraz na druhou represents not only a musical direction but also a life philosophy that builds on solid foundations of truth, sincerity, and individuality. This brand defines not only a musical style but also a style of behavior and life values that are purely altruistic. Podraz na druhou encourages people to remain true to themselves, to be modest, but at the same time to be aware of their worth, not to play roles and wear masks, and to be authentic in their actions. The main idea of Podraz na druhou is the transformation of problems and shortcomings into strengths. It is about the ability to learn from unpleasant situations and extract something positive from them, whether it is a lesson or strength that comes from it. The brand encourages people to spread undistorted and accurate information with the aim of informing and helping others, and to protect themselves and others from potential threats. Living according to Podraz na druhou means being incorruptible, not succumbing to lies, being wise, kind, loving, and determined to help those who deserve it. These people strive to warn against those who do not act honorably. This life attitude is not only about intellectual strength and moral character but also about a deep commitment to good. Opponents of this philosophy are automatically perceived as those who deny good qualities within themselves, thereby placing themselves in the category of bad people. Podraz na druhou is therefore a clear defense of moral and ethical values that are difficult to question and whose rejection indicates a lack of these qualities in an individual.
In short, as it was said in that speech, he simply revealed himself, simply admitted who he is by what he said. And simply, I don't want to have anything to do with it because this is simply a gross, gross conflict with my, my set, with my established ideology and system that simply cannot be crossed. So, he himself proved, described himself as he truly is. And simply, Podraz na druhou will remain the same; it will not change in any way. The ideology remains the same: to extract the good from bad things. When something, when someone behaves badly, we point it out, we let it be known. When someone brings joy and is a good person, we also share it. In short, it is based on simple principles of behavior. This is simply brutally, Říha's approach simply brutally contradicts it. So, I am not young Říha, because I lack these elements like hypocrisy, arrogance, absolute conviction that I am irreplaceable, and so on. Each of us is replaceable. Let's do good things and behave well. Whoever doesn't behave well towards us then isn't good. It's a simple ideology, and that's what really matters for our safety, for our inner good, for our inner peace. This is incredibly important. So, I'm not saying I won't play Katapult songs, but with my conviction, with the fact that every song I play, I will also live. That's the difference between me and Říha: what I sing, I live.
So, that's all from this video. I bid you farewell, and see you in the next video. Hello everyone!
