0:05
Speaker 1: 21 different podcasts to choose from. If you want to
0:08
Speaker 1: play around with music history, we've got that for you.
0:11
Speaker 1: Music's lost history. Let's see if you can name the
0:14
Speaker 1: artist or the song before we share it with you.
0:17
Speaker 1: Have fun getting engaged. It takes your mind off the
0:20
Speaker 1: rest of the world. Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E-E.net. Enjoy your exploration. All
0:26
Speaker 1: the way through this podcast, I keep asking myself, why
0:29
Speaker 1: isn't she on national TV? Why isn't she doing a
0:31
Speaker 1: talk show? Why isn't she doing late night TV? I
0:33
Speaker 1: want my Yamanika all the damn time.
0:36
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I love that.
0:37
Speaker 3: Well, if you know me, you know why I ain't
0:40
Speaker 3: on national anything. I mean, you know, I definitely am
0:46
Speaker 3: running my mouth for sure. Yeah.
0:48
Speaker 1: Well, see, that's what I love about what you're doing,
0:50
Speaker 1: because I call you a silent watcher or as we
0:53
Speaker 1: call it within the realms of Native American spirituality. You
0:56
Speaker 1: are a silent wolf. In other words, you watch life
0:58
Speaker 1: and then you say, let's sit down and let's talk
1:00
Speaker 1: about this right now.
1:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
1:04
Speaker 3: I mean, that's, listen, I seek justice at all times.
1:10
Speaker 3: And I feel like sometimes people don't get justice and
1:14
Speaker 3: a lot of it can happen. come from just fear
1:17
Speaker 3: of speaking up or fear of being the one that,
1:21
Speaker 3: you know, is saying the things that not everybody is saying.
1:25
Speaker 3: But I wear that with a badge of honor because
1:27
Speaker 3: I don't like to say the same things that people
1:29
Speaker 3: are saying. So if I can just join a conversation
1:32
Speaker 3: and all I'm doing is regurgitating, I don't need to
1:34
Speaker 3: be a part of it. So also a lot of
1:36
Speaker 3: things that you will hear on You're the Problem with
1:39
Speaker 3: Yamanika are topics that a lot of people are not
1:41
Speaker 3: even addressing.
1:42
Speaker 1: Do you ever find yourself going back into the days
1:45
Speaker 1: of your grandmother? And the reason why I bring that
1:47
Speaker 1: up is because I'll sit there and I'll go, hmm, yeah, mm-hmm, yeah.
1:51
Speaker 1: And just because I want them to know that I'm listening,
1:54
Speaker 1: but my mind is saying, I'm going to call your
1:55
Speaker 1: ass out right now.
1:57
Speaker 4: Let's go ahead and go right now.
1:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:00
Speaker 3: Well, my grandmother wasn't really a wait around grandma.
2:03
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
2:04
Speaker 3: She definitely would tell us. She said, I'll slap you
2:07
Speaker 3: right into the middle of next week. And that's an
2:09
Speaker 3: urgent conversation, right? That's not like she waits for you
2:12
Speaker 3: to dissect everything. And, you know, anytime that she got
2:15
Speaker 3: to slap you into another timeline, frame in the world
2:20
Speaker 3: you we know we're talking serious business here but yeah
2:23
Speaker 3: no I um I call out things pretty immediately I
2:27
Speaker 3: always say to people like the if I get quiet
2:30
Speaker 3: in a conversation that's not good because I'm just taking
2:35
Speaker 3: all the information um in order to just come back
2:42
Speaker 3: with just receipts of how you're just messing up. I'm
2:47
Speaker 3: not here to nitpick the world. I'm not here to
2:51
Speaker 3: argue about whether a man should go into five below.
2:56
Speaker 2: And get baby formula for his child. Right.
2:59
Speaker 3: It may not be the best decision, but hey, go
3:02
Speaker 3: get the baby formula for your child from five below.
3:04
Speaker 3: But if that man is impeding on anybody's spirit while
3:08
Speaker 3: he's in that five below, I'm going to have a
3:10
Speaker 3: problem with him. We have too many things that are
3:12
Speaker 3: happening in this world that are tearing people's spirits down.
3:15
Speaker 2: We have.
3:16
Speaker 3: High rates of depression. We have high rates of anxiety.
3:20
Speaker 3: We have people who are confused about what they should
3:23
Speaker 3: be doing next in their life, comparing themselves to other people,
3:27
Speaker 3: feeling low, feeling bad.
3:28
Speaker 2: It's not like a happy world.
3:31
Speaker 3: It's not like a happier world that I, you know,
3:33
Speaker 3: I'm a Generation X kid. I grew up watching you know,
3:36
Speaker 3: Care Bears and stuff like that.
3:38
Speaker 2: I mean, I had to watch it. I had to.
3:40
Speaker 3: Sneak to watch Care Bears because my grandmother's super was in,
3:44
Speaker 3: you know, super into Christ as I should have been
3:46
Speaker 3: at the time.
3:46
Speaker 2: But I was only like five. And, um, you know,
3:50
Speaker 2: we had, I had.
3:50
Speaker 3: To sneak and watch it cause she didn't like all
3:52
Speaker 3: the witchcraft that was happening there. Cause she thought, let
3:56
Speaker 3: me not even get, that's a whole other, listen to
3:57
Speaker 3: the podcast if you want about that mess. But, um, it,
4:01
Speaker 3: you know, it was always, ever since I was a kid, um,
4:05
Speaker 3: I was always for the underdog while being an underdog.
4:09
Speaker 3: And I like that fight. I like when the bully
4:13
Speaker 3: doesn't know that the person that they're attacking.
4:17
Speaker 2: Is going to fight back. Oh, yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah.
4:21
Speaker 3: And I'm sort of like, if you have a conversation
4:24
Speaker 3: with me and get to know me, you know, I'm
4:26
Speaker 3: pretty sensitive and sweet.
4:29
Speaker 2: So and I have dimples.
4:31
Speaker 4: So a lot of times I forget. Right.
4:34
Speaker 3: I'm like a little cute cabbage patch doll sometimes because
4:37
Speaker 3: I like have dimples and the whole thing. But I'm
4:40
Speaker 3: really like a pit bull in a lot of ways, too.
4:43
Speaker 2: And it gets activated once I see people on the attack.
4:47
Speaker 3: You know, so right now in this time that we're
4:50
Speaker 3: in is a lot of stuff that I'm being a
4:52
Speaker 3: pit bull about because we're in a time where we
4:55
Speaker 3: have to figure out no matter what side you're on,
4:58
Speaker 3: we all have to agree that what's happening in the
5:00
Speaker 3: world right now is not working. And it's not going
5:04
Speaker 3: to lead us to anything positive is only going to deteriorate.
5:08
Speaker 3: So are we just going to go down with the
5:09
Speaker 3: ship or are we going to fight? So that's where
5:12
Speaker 3: I'm at right now. We got to fight for humanity.
5:14
Speaker 1: Well, one thing I want to do is I want
5:15
Speaker 1: to stand up for the guys that do go out
5:17
Speaker 1: and get the baby formula because I work at a
5:19
Speaker 1: grocery store and I get a lot of guys in
5:21
Speaker 1: there that are doing everything they can to make sure
5:23
Speaker 1: that their girl gets exactly what she wants. But the
5:26
Speaker 1: problem with guys is I think they're going in there
5:29
Speaker 1: and they're picking up whatever they think they know the
5:32
Speaker 1: baby formula is. And then she has to bring it back.
5:36
Speaker 1: Now we've got a problem here when she has to
5:39
Speaker 1: bring back the guy's mistake.
5:41
Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
5:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, sure.
5:45
Speaker 3: Let's let's let's say I'm not here to, you know,
5:48
Speaker 3: carry men on my back and hip hip hooray. But
5:52
Speaker 3: I will say, yes, there are a lot of great
5:55
Speaker 3: men who are doing the best that they can. The
5:58
Speaker 3: the obliviousness with them, the oblivion of picking up the
6:02
Speaker 3: wrong thing is where we really have a problem because
6:05
Speaker 3: you've got to pay attention. You can't just do one
6:07
Speaker 3: part of the thing. Can't just put the keys in
6:09
Speaker 3: the car, go to five below. You got to know
6:11
Speaker 3: why you're going to five below. You know, some of
6:13
Speaker 3: these men, instead of getting baby formula, they're getting lotion
6:16
Speaker 3: because they have no idea what they got going on.
6:19
Speaker 3: But I have no problem with seeing the problems that
6:25
Speaker 3: could be in me and seeing the problems that could
6:29
Speaker 3: be on my side and the ways in which we
6:31
Speaker 3: have to, like, really sort of come together as a collective.
6:36
Speaker 3: But we have a time where there's, like, we got...
6:40
Speaker 3: Truck drivers now striking. You know, they don't want the
6:45
Speaker 3: gas is too high. But we've been saying the gas
6:48
Speaker 3: was too high. We've been saying health care. You know,
6:51
Speaker 3: we've been saying that, you know, the American dream has
6:55
Speaker 3: not been for everyone. And I think now more and
6:58
Speaker 3: more people were saying that. It was a real quiet
7:00
Speaker 3: when black people kept saying it.
7:01
Speaker 2: Right. We not having a good time. We not.
7:04
Speaker 3: And it was easy to say, well, black people, it's
7:06
Speaker 3: because you guys are lazy and you guys are criminals.
7:08
Speaker 3: You guys are this. It's easy to dismiss us. But
7:11
Speaker 3: now what are you going to say? What's the excuse?
7:14
Speaker 2: Hmm. Are we all criminals?
7:17
Speaker 3: Are we all losers? Are we all sucking at the
7:19
Speaker 3: teat for no reason? It's like, what's going on here?
7:22
Speaker 3: We have to address these things when we have a
7:25
Speaker 3: situation where we see people who are suffering. I never
7:28
Speaker 3: thought I'd see the day where I saw an old
7:30
Speaker 3: white veteran in a wheelchair, damn near stand up because
7:33
Speaker 3: he wants to get Trump out of office now because
7:36
Speaker 3: of all the stuff he's had to go.
7:37
Speaker 2: Through as a veteran. That's right.
7:38
Speaker 4: That's right.
7:39
Speaker 2: You know how hard you got strong?
7:40
Speaker 3: You got to be to get a white veteran out
7:43
Speaker 3: of a wheelchair and stand up for the first time.
7:45
Speaker 2: It's like a miracle.
7:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
7:46
Speaker 2: Yeah.
7:47
Speaker 1: I'll tell you another issue that we need to face, Yamanika.
7:49
Speaker 1: And that is something that I for for me, it's
7:51
Speaker 1: brand new. But it's these businesses that will say, what
7:55
Speaker 1: are your hours of availability? So it's availability versus actuality.
7:59
Speaker 1: And what's happening is everybody's going out who needs a job.
8:02
Speaker 1: And they say, I'm available at time. And then that
8:05
Speaker 1: business expects you to be available at that time. And
8:08
Speaker 1: you can't go out and get another job because you
8:10
Speaker 1: said you were available at this certain time. And I
8:12
Speaker 1: think that's the downsizing of the American people. You're telling
8:16
Speaker 1: me I can't go to work because I told you
8:19
Speaker 1: I was available at this time, but you didn't give
8:21
Speaker 1: me the work. We've got to correct this situation really fast.
8:26
Speaker 3: You know, let me tell you something super fast because
8:28
Speaker 3: I didn't even know it was like that.
8:29
Speaker 2: Oh my God.
8:30
Speaker 3: Have I turned into an entitled white woman? Oh no,
8:32
Speaker 3: I've turned into an entitled white woman. That sounded like
8:35
Speaker 3: a real ethnic problem. I was like, what's happening here?
8:38
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable.
8:40
Speaker 1: You can't, I just wait because I love going into
8:43
Speaker 1: businesses to find out if they'll hire me. That's just
8:45
Speaker 1: who I am now in life. I want to do
8:47
Speaker 1: every freaking job I can get my hands on just
8:49
Speaker 1: to say I did it.
8:49
Speaker 2: You and I have to do, no, no, no, no. Pause.
8:53
Speaker 2: You have to take me to do this. You have
8:56
Speaker 2: to take me to do this. Are you kidding me?
8:58
Speaker 2: I would love to do this to see if I
9:00
Speaker 2: can get hired.
9:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, just to see if I can get hired. Yeah, yeah.
9:04
Speaker 1: And then when they hire me, I go, crap. Now
9:06
Speaker 1: I got to live up to it. You know, I mean,
9:12
Speaker 1: nobody wants to hire a radio guy in the real world.
9:14
Speaker 1: You're a radio guy. What are you going to do?
9:16
Speaker 1: Do a story on me and break a story? And oh,
9:17
Speaker 1: my God, now I'm on the 5 p.m.
9:19
Speaker 4: News. Nobody wants to hire a radio guy.
9:22
Speaker 3: Well, the New York subway system does because you are
9:25
Speaker 3: the best thing that could ever happen to us.
9:26
Speaker 2: We have no idea what these people are talking about.
9:29
Speaker 2: We have no idea what they're saying. It's just muffled wind.
9:34
Speaker 1: Please don't move. There's more with Yamanika Saunders coming up next.
9:39
Speaker 1: The name of her podcast, You're the Problem. We're back
9:42
Speaker 1: with the host, Yamanika Saunders. See, that's what I love
9:45
Speaker 1: about you is that you speak the street. You speak
9:48
Speaker 1: with honesty. I feel your passion. I feel your, more importantly,
9:51
Speaker 1: I feel your empathy. And that is so important because
9:54
Speaker 1: people have compassion and empathy wrong.
9:56
Speaker 4: And I feel you because you see us.
10:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see. I see you all. I am also
10:03
Speaker 2: you all. I have been. Trust me, I've been bullied.
10:07
Speaker 2: I've been hurt. I've been disrespected.
10:10
Speaker 3: I've been not seen, taken for granted, disadvantaged, all of
10:16
Speaker 3: these things. And still I thrive. And the thing about
10:21
Speaker 3: it is through all of these different steps that I've
10:23
Speaker 3: had to take. through some level of adversity, it doesn't
10:27
Speaker 3: change the fact that some people don't even see that
10:30
Speaker 3: I'm experiencing those things or what I've had to do
10:34
Speaker 3: to get into certain situations. I'm a black woman doing
10:37
Speaker 3: standup comedy. And I know people might think there's no
10:40
Speaker 3: hierarchy in standup, but we're sort of at a place
10:43
Speaker 3: where still the food chain is always going to be,
10:46
Speaker 3: the top is going to be male, specifically white male,
10:49
Speaker 3: even though there are also a lot of black men
10:51
Speaker 3: at the top of that.
10:52
Speaker 2: Food chain from Chappelle to Kevin Hart.
10:54
Speaker 3: It's still not a place that is top of the
10:57
Speaker 3: chain where there's a lot of women, especially not a
10:59
Speaker 3: lot of women of color or a lot of black women.
11:02
Speaker 3: So I know what it feels like to feel seen
11:07
Speaker 3: after going through stuff like that.
11:09
Speaker 2: I know what it feels like for somebody to say, hey,
11:11
Speaker 2: how are you doing? For real, for real.
11:13
Speaker 3: And things that are happening in my life that are
11:17
Speaker 3: making me feel good, I think about how I can
11:20
Speaker 3: carry that energy on and help others with it. So yeah,
11:25
Speaker 3: I may be brash in a lot of ways, but
11:28
Speaker 3: my intention is to make sure that that we're in
11:31
Speaker 3: a place that is closer to harmony than we are
11:35
Speaker 3: right now.
11:36
Speaker 1: Can I give a big kudos to the African-American black
11:39
Speaker 1: men and women who are grandparents that are stepping up
11:41
Speaker 1: and taking care of not just one, but many of
11:44
Speaker 1: their children. I get to see them. I'm talking to
11:46
Speaker 1: these kids. We're sitting there. We're like a true honest
11:49
Speaker 1: to God family. And if more people could recognize what
11:52
Speaker 1: grandparents are really doing these days with their children, my God,
11:56
Speaker 1: it would be a more peaceful place when it comes
11:58
Speaker 1: to older people.
11:59
Speaker 2: A hundred percent.
12:00
Speaker 3: But also, I think now we start to get into
12:03
Speaker 3: the territory of the white grandmother and grandfather.
12:06
Speaker 2: Also taking care of the kids.
12:07
Speaker 3: We're in a time, black people were taking care of
12:10
Speaker 3: their grandchildren because of a lot of social and economic
12:13
Speaker 3: disadvantages that were happening to us. And now they're happening
12:16
Speaker 3: on a larger scale across the board. There are more
12:19
Speaker 3: people you're seeing sitting at food. There's a food line
12:22
Speaker 3: right across the street from me at the church across
12:24
Speaker 3: from where I live.
12:26
Speaker 2: And they constantly are having food drives.
12:29
Speaker 3: People standing out early in the morning to go get whatever,
12:31
Speaker 3: you know, has been donated. And that line was looking
12:34
Speaker 3: very black for a long time. And I'm looking over
12:37
Speaker 3: that line now and it's more and more diverse. We
12:39
Speaker 3: are all it's time for us to get together because
12:42
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, there's only a few people benefiting from
12:46
Speaker 3: this sort of nonsense of racism.
12:49
Speaker 2: You understand that we continue to let.
12:52
Speaker 3: Be insidious in what's happening in this country, dividing us
12:56
Speaker 3: across the board and allowing us to be so broken
13:01
Speaker 3: and so weak that we allowed this sort of regime
13:05
Speaker 3: that we have now coming in, terrorizing everything to fester
13:10
Speaker 3: because we're so busy infighting with each other across racial
13:14
Speaker 3: lines gender lines and religion lines.
13:17
Speaker 1: Where are you at that you said food line because
13:19
Speaker 1: i'm in i am where food lion was given its
13:22
Speaker 1: birth salisbury north carolina girl where are you oh no.
13:27
Speaker 2: I'm in food line like a.
13:29
Speaker 3: Food line oh yeah but i do know a food
13:32
Speaker 3: lion but i do know a food and i know
13:35
Speaker 3: a piggly wiggly.
13:35
Speaker 2: Baby because i used to live in south carolina so i.
13:38
Speaker 4: Know god yeah yes.
13:42
Speaker 2: I got you. I got you. I'm originally from Maryland.
13:45
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of argument about where that
13:47
Speaker 3: is and the Mason-Dixon line. But, you know, I thank
13:52
Speaker 3: God to my family who, you know, has raised me
13:56
Speaker 3: with so much respect to have respect.
13:58
Speaker 2: And humility.
14:00
Speaker 3: So, you know, I'm getting a lot of my, my,
14:04
Speaker 3: who I am has definitely been from my family and upbringing,
14:10
Speaker 3: you know, I have to attribute it to them.
14:12
Speaker 1: Listeners need to understand that your podcast isn't just about
14:14
Speaker 1: political things, because I mean, you talk about Rick Moranis
14:17
Speaker 1: and space balls. And that's one of the things I
14:19
Speaker 1: want to talk about, because I mean, that man has
14:21
Speaker 1: waited how long for a, for a sequel. And then
14:24
Speaker 1: of course, as a movie goer, I'm going, do we
14:26
Speaker 1: need one?
14:27
Speaker 4: And I go, stop, Stop it. Stop it. Yes. Give
14:29
Speaker 4: it to him. Don't take anything away from an actor.
14:31
Speaker 4: A thousand percent.
14:32
Speaker 3: Yes. I, you know, it's so funny and I do
14:36
Speaker 3: talk about race, but that's because I'm.
14:37
Speaker 2: A black woman. Right. And I have to deal with
14:39
Speaker 2: that every single day. So it's not going to leave
14:43
Speaker 2: the conversation. But also I grew up in like.
14:48
Speaker 3: Part of me being into Spaceballs, the movie, was because
14:51
Speaker 3: my environment was so white at times. You know, my
14:54
Speaker 3: school was like all white and I was the only
14:56
Speaker 3: black person there. And this white guy, my mother was
14:59
Speaker 3: dating at the time. I mean, we kind of keep
15:01
Speaker 3: that hush, but, you know, let's call it what it
15:03
Speaker 3: is now because I'm.
15:20
Speaker 3: .
15:24
Speaker 2: .
15:26
Speaker 3: You would have thought I was Rain Man or something.
15:28
Speaker 3: I had some type of problem because it was like
15:30
Speaker 3: the way I get on one thing and I just
15:32
Speaker 3: watch it over and over again.
15:33
Speaker 2: So I had ruined that tape.
15:35
Speaker 3: He bought me another one for my birthday and then
15:38
Speaker 3: bought me a backup with that one so that when
15:40
Speaker 3: I ruined that one, I'd have another one.
15:43
Speaker 2: But I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan.
15:46
Speaker 3: Rip Moranis is like my childhood.
15:50
Speaker 2: He could do no wrong. He was definitely.
15:53
Speaker 3: So he was Beyonce level to me when I was
15:56
Speaker 3: a kid. So to see, you know, so many people
16:00
Speaker 3: from my childhood who are still doing it. Also, I'm
16:03
Speaker 3: proud of Rick. I hope they get out there and
16:05
Speaker 3: I hope they do that. Do Spaceballs justice. I will
16:07
Speaker 3: definitely be in there if I can't get a role
16:10
Speaker 3: in there. I'm gonna try to see if I can
16:11
Speaker 3: get on set, even if it's.
16:12
Speaker 2: An extra role. And, you know, I don't know, maybe
16:15
Speaker 2: I can help comb the desert.
16:18
Speaker 4: Now you're in your live performance.
16:20
Speaker 1: Are we going to start seeing something that's like the
16:22
Speaker 1: Carol Burnett show in the way that you open up
16:24
Speaker 1: those lights and you start asking and they start asking
16:27
Speaker 1: you questions because you you just have this way of
16:30
Speaker 1: making everybody feel home.
16:32
Speaker 4: And that that says a lot about you. I feel
16:35
Speaker 4: home with you.
16:37
Speaker 2: I love that. I hope so.
16:39
Speaker 3: I was a kid that like didn't have a lot
16:41
Speaker 3: of friends and was talking to themselves.
16:43
Speaker 2: Until they were 12 years old. You know, I got
16:44
Speaker 2: an imaginary friend. I'm just a weirdo.
16:47
Speaker 3: And I think like, you know, what they deem to
16:50
Speaker 3: be a weirdo. And I think because it's so, so
16:53
Speaker 3: many people just thought so many things about me. I
16:56
Speaker 3: was very, very specific in my spirit that I don't
17:00
Speaker 3: want anybody who's around me or in my presence, any
17:02
Speaker 3: of my family or my friends to not feel like
17:04
Speaker 3: they got somebody that champions for them.
17:07
Speaker 2: And that loves them.
17:08
Speaker 3: I'm fiercely protective of the people in my space.
17:12
Speaker 2: So with having this podcast, I have.
17:13
Speaker 3: A large group of people in my space that I
17:16
Speaker 3: have to protect. And to reference Carol Burnett, you're talking
17:21
Speaker 3: about a woman who was really... you know, hitting a
17:24
Speaker 3: lot of things that we didn't really think about the
17:26
Speaker 3: way she dealt with a lot of the issues that
17:29
Speaker 3: were happening in the world. We're not necessarily directly on,
17:32
Speaker 3: but using humor, using around those situations. So, yeah, I
17:36
Speaker 3: definitely would love to be in the vein of a
17:39
Speaker 3: Carol Burnett or like, you know, um.
17:41
Speaker 2: Beck Midler, who I love because I also love to sing, you.
17:44
Speaker 3: Know, like, She was able to incorporate a character that
17:49
Speaker 3: did sort of stand up and that sort of like,
17:52
Speaker 3: you know, vaudevilly kind of thing, but also, you know,
17:56
Speaker 3: really talk to the audience. I, I, um.
18:00
Speaker 2: I don't know. Sometimes it does sound.
18:01
Speaker 3: Cheesy to keep saying, I'm here for everyone, but I
18:04
Speaker 3: really mean it. And I'm here for everyone because I
18:06
Speaker 3: know what it's like to feel completely alone. So I
18:10
Speaker 3: don't want anybody to feel that. And I don't want
18:13
Speaker 3: people to feel like there's no hope. There is hope,
18:16
Speaker 3: even when it looks hopeless.
18:18
Speaker 2: We can fight. We can use our voice. We can
18:20
Speaker 2: use our minds.
18:21
Speaker 3: We can start waking people up to what we need
18:24
Speaker 3: to do to be better, to love better and to
18:27
Speaker 3: have more of an environment where less people feel like
18:30
Speaker 3: they got to take their own lives to get out
18:32
Speaker 3: of here and find another situation somewhere else.
18:36
Speaker 2: Because right here. They're being protected.
18:39
Speaker 1: My preacher, Mr. Stephen Furtick would say, put that worship
18:42
Speaker 1: band on right now.
18:43
Speaker 4: Let's go.
18:44
Speaker 1: She just brought it on. Put those hands in the air.
18:47
Speaker 1: If you're not feeling it, come on now, everybody get
18:49
Speaker 1: their hands up. You got to come back to this show.
18:54
Speaker 1: You got to come back to this show anytime in
18:56
Speaker 1: the future. I love your energy. I love every place
18:58
Speaker 1: that you go on your podcast.
19:00
Speaker 2: I love your energy too. You better have me back.
19:02
Speaker 2: I would love to come back.
19:03
Speaker 4: I will. Will you be brilliant today? Okay.
19:06
