• 3:08
  SPEAKER_04: Uh but I have a little tear here, but to be voted one of the top, and I think that was like a top seven or top five or something, not sure, but just to be voted one of the top in this entire world, one of the vo one of the top voiceover personalities.

• 4:48
  SPEAKER_04: Because there are some who don't, and I can't make everybody listen if you don't want to.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I have certain people in my life who say, Oh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna check it out.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_04: I promise I'm gonna check it out.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_04: I learned those are the type people, not calling names, but those are the types right there that I totally put in this group that don't fool with them.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_04: If you're out there and you've started something, you started something in your life, and you got this set of people who keep saying, I'm going to check it out, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_04: That's the bunch, that's the type of people that you gotta disassociate yourself from it.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_04: In other words, I didn't say hate nobody, but you kind of have to put them in a group over there to themselves because some people just don't want you to succeed, and when they see you succeeding, they it's like crabs in a barrel, I guess that's what you call it.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know, but as you seem to move up, and they want to tear you down any way they can.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_04: And you can resonate because so many of you resonate with the things that I talk about.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_04: There are certain people who don't want you to succeed, and guys, my voice ain't gonna do right and I know what it was, so hang in there so one second, one second, had to do that.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_04: I had to do that.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_04: Let me do this too.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_04: Oh god, yeah, yeah.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_04: Oh my goodness, something like that.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, guys.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_04: But there are people out there who don't necessarily want you to to succeed.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_04: There's a lot of people out there like that and see that you are moving up and you're doing good and you're doing well, and they just don't want you to succeed.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of times people are listening to you say you're gonna podcast like I do.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_02: People are actually they're gonna actually go listen to it.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_04: But they'll pretend that they're not listening, they a lot of people don't want you to, whereas a lot of people want you to succeed in something.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_04: There's a lot of people, just as many, that don't want you to.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_04: And it's really sad because I'm the kind of person that I I I guess I just want what's best for for all.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_04: I want to see anybody succeed.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_04: If you're doing something in your life, I want you to succeed, I really do.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_04: And a lot of times people have t said this to me and I couldn't understand it.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_04: It was a lady because people know that I sing.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_04: And it was a lady, a church lady, a church going lady, I think she's the pastor of her church.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_04: She told me one day, guys, I told you my voice ain't gonna do right tonight.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_04: She told me one day, she said, Gina, you just don't seem like you sing like that.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_04: What?
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_04: Wait, what?
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_04: She it's it just don't seem like you sing the way that you do.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that looking a certain way or acting a certain way sets you apart for singing.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_04: You can be You can be anybody, and if you got a voice to sing, singers come in all shapes, sizes, and whatever.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_04: She's a little tiny you can hit those high notes and she she really just came right down to it.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_04: She said, I thought a person who is like a more heavy set or whatever are the type people that sing like that.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_04: So in other words, she was telling me, because I'm petite and you know, you know, I weigh 107 pounds, okay.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_04: I guess she was trying to say, I can't sing the way I do.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_04: She just didn't imagine me singing the way that I do because I'm petite, I weigh 107 pounds, and I guess I just don't look like the type.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_04: I don't fit that type.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_04: I don't I didn't understand her at all.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_04: I'm like, what are you talking about?
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_04: There are singers of all uh Mariah Carey, for instance.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_04: Okay?
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_04: Mariah Carey.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_04: She's not a certain size.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_04: I I I think that's that's wrong to do that.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_04: That's wrong.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_04: But again, it's people like that who don't want you to succeed.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_04: It's people like her that don't want you to succeed, people who you walk aside every day in your life.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe you work with these people, maybe you go to the same church with these people, maybe you started a business with some of these people, and they see that you got this great talent.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_04: Because if you got a talent, you're like a diamond and you're shining.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_04: Trust and believe, if you are shining to all of these other people out here in the world, you're shining to them too, but they don't want to give you that credit.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_04: And I sometimes am surrounded by such people.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_04: They would say, Is that you?
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: Is that you singing?
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: Is that you talking?
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: Not you.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_04: Why not?
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_04: Because you you see, people don't know what I do.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_04: I work beside people every day.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_04: Every single day.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_04: I'm in a family of singers.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_04: My my mom was a singer.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_04: My dad wasn't a singer, but my dad was talented in other ways.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_04: So he could play an instrument.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_04: He wasn't a singer, but he was talented in that way.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_04: So I'm surrounded by talented people in my entire family.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_04: Some of them give me credit, many of them don't.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of them follow my podcast, a lot of them don't.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_04: So it's gonna be that way.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_04: You gotta understand everybody is not gonna always accept you, and sometimes it's the people like say on your job that's right beside you.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_04: I've had people I don't want to talk about the job, but I've had people at my workplace that's right beside me, and they would say, I'm I'm gonna check it out.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna have to do that for my voice.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_04: I'm hold on a second.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna check it out.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna check it out.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_04: I promise you, I'm gonna check out, I'm gonna check out your podcast, I promise.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_04: Now, like I told you, you gotta put that those type of people aside.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_04: You gotta say, okay, you know you have a group and you have exes on their faces.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_04: I put X's on faces of people like that.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, X X X.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_04: You would be surprised at how many people I have X's on their faces.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_04: Family 2.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_04: I have a group where I got X's on people's face.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_04: Even one of my childhood friends that I grew up with years ago, I'm not gonna call her name, but I had to X her out as well because I had to X her out.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_04: I I really did, and that was a sad thing to do.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_04: And when I I don't like to use the word I'm gonna cut you off because I don't have the power to cut anybody off.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_04: Only God can cut you off.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_04: But I can move away from people like that.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_04: In other words, I don't I can love you, but I don't have to be around you.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_04: I can love you and be in the same room with you, but I don't but I don't hate anybody.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_04: I and I know a lot of you out there who follow me, you and myself, we are special.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_04: You're special, and you have to give and give back to those people who are accepting of what you are offering.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_04: Because again, you're not going to be loved by everyone.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_04: You gotta get that in your mind, and I had to really, you know, guys, I had to really accept that.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_04: Like everybody is not going to love you, everybody's not going to follow you, and I'm surrounded by a lot of people like that.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_04: You know, they're not bad people.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_04: They're not bad.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_04: Not in them, not at all.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_04: They're not bad.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_04: But sometimes people it it's two types of people, maybe more, that I have come into contact with.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_04: They're either the type people that some of them don't want you to succeed, like crabs in a barrel, they see you moving up, they try to tear you down, that type, or the type that know that you're talented, know you got this talent, know you're amazing.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_04: But is that jealousy right there?
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_04: See, jealousy is a cruel thing.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_04: It's cruel.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_04: So anytime you run into a person that says, Uh, I'm gonna check it out, I promise you, I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna check it out, I'm gonna check out your music, I'm gonna check out your song, stay away from those type of people.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_04: Be nice to them, be cordial, be friendly, but stay away.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_04: Put them in the side, put the legs on their face, and move forward.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_04: Because there are people that really want what you're offering out there.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_04: How did I become one of the top voiceover personalities in the world?
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_04: Do you think I became that by listening to what family said, co-workers said, other people said?
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_04: Do you think I got that honor because I worried about what people thought of me or said about me?
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_04: Now, years ago I really did.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_04: I was like, please, please, please, please.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_04: And not too many years ago, I was like that.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_04: But I had to realize that everybody is not going to love you.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_04: Everybody is not going to accept you.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_04: Not everybody.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_04: You gotta that's one of the first things when you are doing something, you got to say, okay, everybody's not gonna love this, everybody's not gonna like this.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_04: So this is not for everybody.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_04: It's not.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_04: It's for the ones out there who are looking for what you got to offer.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_04: They're looking for that.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_04: They need that.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_04: Not for that bunch that sit there and judgmental.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_04: Not for them.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna take it out, I promise.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_04: I will, I will.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_04: That that group right there, put an X on their face, put them in that group over there, put them in that crabs with barrel those crabs in the barrel, put them put them over there with that.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_04: I I'm serious.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_04: I had to do that.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_04: I had to.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_04: Because I've had people like it's unbelievable with people when they realize all of if if people knew of all of my accomplishments and all of the things that I have created with my sister and how we was on different shows and and things in the past when we did our music.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_04: That's why I tell people I've been there, done that, guys.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_04: I don't have to go on American Idol.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_04: Why?
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_04: I've been there, done that.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_04: Could have signed, go back and listen to my podcast.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of you don't follow my podcast, so you don't know what's going on.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_04: So you're one of the ones saying you should be on American Idol, you should be on this, you should be on that.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_04: If you listen to my podcast, you will see that we had the opportunity to sign record deals.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_04: Even a few podcasts ago that I did, uh I think it was last month, where I was speaking about how we had the chance several times to sign on the got it line.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, my sister Laura, the two of us, we had a chance to sign in the early 90s.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_04: We had a chance to sign record deals, guys.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_04: We didn't do it, and I thank God for that woman of God, Prophetess, Mother AB Jackson.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_04: I thank God for that woman.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_04: Because had it not been for her, we would have signed.

• 19:03
  SPEAKER_04: You know, yeah.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_04: Traveling the world, yeah.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_04: But because of that woman of God, because of her being able to see farther than we can see, see that was a praying woman.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_04: She was a woman that prayed.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, really prayed.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_04: Stay before the Lord.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_04: Wise woman of wisdom, knowledge, and anointed.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_04: Oh god.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_04: So when we were about to sign, anything we we ever was about to do, we would go to her.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_04: And she told us, guys, you gotta go listen to the podcast.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_04: And I'm gonna not gonna spend this time talking about that again, but she told us, look, don't no, no, no, don't sign that.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_04: She said I can see the devil.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_04: I can see the devil.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_04: Don't do it.

• 20:12
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_04: I think I told you I'd rather sell 20,000 records.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_04: I'd rather do 20,000 whatever than to do 20 million.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_04: I'd rather do that.

  SPEAKER_04: I don't got to eat and hang out and do all of that.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_04: I don't.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_04: I don't, I don't.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_04: I just don't.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_04: On my job, I don't hang out with anyone.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_04: It was one lady who passed away recently.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_04: I loved her.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_04: We connected right off the bat.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_04: She was my coworker.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_04: Her name was Adeline Chapman.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_04: And I'll say her name loud because we connected.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_04: The way we connected is when we would get off at night and it'd be really cold out there.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_04: She was catching the bus.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_04: And I would see her and I'd hook my heart and I'd say, Adeline, it's cold out here.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_04: I offered her a ride.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_04: And it wasn't a one time ride.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_04: Was it out of my way?
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, it was out of my way.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_04: But God was letting me know then.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_04: God put me in that lady's life because God knew that she had a limited time on this art.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_04: She didn't know that either.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_04: Because she was diagnosed with cancer like maybe six or seven months later.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_04: But I gave her a ride that first night, and yes, it was out of my way because all I had to do is just leave the job, hit the interstate, and I'm home.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_04: So yeah, it was out of my way.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_04: But I started taking her home.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_04: We started talking, started getting in conversations.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_04: And this lady who everybody looked at as a mean person became a really good friend of mine.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_04: A really good friend.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_04: I do not take to people on my job like that.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_04: I'm nice to them.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_04: Being nice to people.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_04: Nothing wrong with being nice.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_04: But I don't let it go further than that.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_04: You know, if I can do something for you, I'll do that as well.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_04: But we became really great friends.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_04: And like I told you, I don't do that with people I work with.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_04: I just don't.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_04: But we became really good friends.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_04: And then I just started just taking it home every night.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_04: Every night.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_04: I started just taking it home.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_04: Out of my way, yes, it was.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_04: And we started talking and da-da-da-da-da.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_04: And it's kind of sad to me because she had eventually passed away with cancer.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_04: A few months after that, she was diagnosed with um stomach cancer, I believe it was.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_04: And I'm so happy that I was in her life.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_04: I'll put it that way.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_04: I'm happy that I was there because when I see now why God, you see how God operates?
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_04: You see how God operates, God put me in that woman's life to tell her about the Lord, to tell her about Jesus, to to prepare her for what was about to happen.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_04: Her next journey would, you know, she's not gonna be here.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_04: But I didn't know that.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_04: She didn't know that.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_04: But I thank God for offering her that first ride home.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_04: And we started, and I tell you right now, you know a true friend.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_04: I I'm all over the place tonight, guys, for you and me.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_04: You know a true friend when someone, you can be sitting in the in a room with someone and a person bring your name up negatively and talk about you.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_04: Not too many people are gonna get up and say, No, I I I disagree with you, and walk out.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_04: She would not let anyone talk about me.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_04: She would not just sit there and not say anything and say, Well, that's my friend, I'm just not gonna say nothing.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_04: She would sit there and roll her eyes and do all that crap.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_04: She would reach you your rights and she would walk out of that room.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_04: That's the true friend, guys.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_04: When you got a friend like that, that's the true friend.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_04: Not one that is sit there and let people talk about you like a dog.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_04: No, you may not even say anything, but you're sitting there listening to people berade and talk badly about a person that you say is your friend, yet you're sitting there and let the and listen in and that's not a friend.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_04: That to me that's not a friend.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_04: Not a real one.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_04: So I thank God for Adeline.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_04: I had to talk about her briefly because she started following my podcast.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_04: She started listening and telling me her favorite podcast, and and I was really surprised because I never ever told her about my podcast.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_04: But she started listening to them.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_04: You know, even when she started getting sick and do her chemotherapy, and she would pop in one of my podcasts and just listen to it back to back to back to back to back.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_04: And just like my sister Laura, when she was sick, Adeline said, I would listen to you, listen to your voice, so soothing, and just listen.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_04: And she she said, Gina.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_04: And when you call me Gina, you're my friend.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_04: She said, Gina, you know, your voice brought me so much comfort.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_04: You know, any of you out there that take chemotherapy, you know how sick you be, you know.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_04: So afterwards, she said to just listen to your voice and listen to the things you talk about.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_04: And she's saying I just lay there and it just drift off to sleep a lot of times.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_04: She said, because you got that kind of calm, soothing type of a voice.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_04: And it's kind of hard for me to speak on her because oh god, it's hard because she's not here anymore.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_04: But I'm so glad that we became friends and now I see why.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_04: I see why.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_04: And see, God worked in ways that we don't.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_04: Guys, excuse me, I gotta clear my throat again.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_04: Just one second.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_04: Good lord.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_04: God works in ways that we don't.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I would have never thought that this person that I took home at night to keep from being out in the cold air.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_04: I would have never thought that she was gonna pass away with cancer.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_04: I would have never thought that she would be listening to my podcast without me even asking her.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't ask her like I do a lot of people.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_04: Check it out, check this out.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_04: Please, please, please.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't do any of that.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_04: She was listening.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_04: That's the kind of person that you know are right there for you.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_04: And that was a real friend, and I wouldn't let anybody talk about her in her lifetime.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_04: You cannot talk about this person.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_04: You're not gonna talk about her, not in my not in on my watch.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_04: And a lot of times before I go to work, I stopped by her house, you know, leave early, like 7 30, worked overnight, leave early enough to go by and sit and sit with her and talk to her and you know, bring her something to eat or whatever.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_04: You know.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_04: She appreciated that.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_04: Would take her to go get her nails done.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I did a lot of things for her.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_04: I can speak about that now, and she appreciated it.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_04: She appreciated that.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_04: She really did.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_04: She appreciated it.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_04: And I miss her so much.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_04: But God would put the right people in place for you.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_04: You don't have to beg anybody to do anything.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_04: And I spent a good part of my life begging this one.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_04: Check this out.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_04: Even when my sister was alive, Laura, when we was doing our music, guys, we used to have cassette tapes.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_04: And the pastor would say, Come on, guys, buy these girls selling these things to help the church.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_04: Everything we did was to help our church.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_04: And you had people there out of jealousy, a lot of them didn't want to buy it.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_04: You know, when CDs first came out, a couple of the ladies said, Well, I don't have a CD player.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_04: Wait, what?
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_04: What?
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_04: You don't have a CD player when they were all over the place and you can buy you one.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_04: See, that was jealousy.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_04: And the pastor would get up and just a lot of times the pastor would just call it out for what it really was pure de envy and jealousy.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_04: See, everybody is not going to love you.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_04: Everybody is not going to like you.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_04: And I had to kind of learn that the hard way.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_04: I did.
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_04: But I'm telling you right now, once I learned it, once you learn something, sometimes you have to get a few scrapes.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_04: Sometimes sometimes you have to get a few scrapes to learn.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_04: But let me tell you, once you learn it, it's like, okay, alright.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_04: Everybody's not gonna be for you.
• 32:09
  SPEAKER_04: The ones that you're trying to get right now in your corner to do this and to do that, they're not gonna always be there.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_04: So leave that bunch alone.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_04: Put them in a little crowd with X on their face.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_04: And again, I don't mean anything bad by this.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_04: If someone is listening to this, and you know you don't follow my podcast, and you know you've been one of the ones that's saying, I'm going to, I promise, I promise, I promise.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_04: Not just because I got you in a bush with an X on your face, please don't think I mean any harm by that.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_04: I just got you in a group of people to just, you know, not bother with asking you about listen to this or listen to that.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_04: And so I stopped doing that with most of the people that I work around, you know, because people will look at you like uh almost like she's not supposed to have that kind of talent.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_04: What?
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_04: Boy, if they only knew the talent that I really got.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, if they only knew all of my accomplishments, but I don't walk around with a sign on my back.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_04: Because I told you I am a person now that likes to stay in the background.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_04: I don't have to be out front all the time.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_04: That's why my podcast is an audio series.
• 33:25
  SPEAKER_04: I don't have to be the person out there with myself out there, because sometimes the loudest voice is the most silent voice.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_04: And I learned that with this podcast and being named one of the top voice over, one of the top voices in the world.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_04: But even with that, I give God the credit.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_04: God gives the credit for everything in my life.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_04: The Lord gets that credit because he deserves it.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_04: Because it without him, I can do absolutely positively nothing.
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_04: I could do nothing without the Lord.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_04: So I had to say that, and I made that very long.
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_04: So this podcast is it's probably gonna go about 45 minutes.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_04: So I had to say that because everybody is not going to always love you.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_04: Follow you.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_04: So let that sink in.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_04: Stop trying to get the people who are never gonna be there.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_04: But they're there for the good times, they're there if you got some money, they're there if you got some food, they're there for all those things, but they're not gonna always be there for you.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_04: The things that you want them to be there for.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_02: They're not.
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_02: Just get it in your head.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_02: They're not going to.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_04: And I thank God for putting you out there who are listening right now to this podcast.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_04: I thank God for putting you in my life.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_04: As I say, I might not know you.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_04: I might not know you, but think about it, I do know you because you're listening, and I'm speaking to you right now.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_04: And I appreciate you so much.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_04: I thank you.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_04: I appreciate you.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_04: Because it's people like you who are listening.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_04: The reason why my podcast is so successful.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_04: And I I'm so thankful to God for for connecting us.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I I'm known as the voice that connects the world, but you know, I thank the Lord for connecting us together.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_04: I do.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_04: I thank my Lord, my Savior, Jesus.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_04: I thank you.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_04: I thank the Lord.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_04: So guys, it's gonna be talking about a little bit of everything, and I'm covering quite a few things.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_04: I want to talk just briefly on talking white and talking black.
• 36:15
  SPEAKER_04: Now I'm gonna do a whole podcast about that, but I'm gonna touch on that a little bit now.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_04: I I that offends me.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah, I do get offended.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_04: The voice that connects the world get offends it.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_04: That offend me.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_04: Because I didn't know that certain people are more important than others.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_04: So when I speak and I'm speaking intelligently, trying my best to use the best words, and I don't always do that, guys.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_04: Don't be fooled.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_04: I don't always do that either.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_04: Come on.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_04: But because I do that, then I'm talking quote unquote white Wait, what?
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_04: Come on, guys.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_04: Come on now.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_04: Anybody could be intelligent.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_04: Anyone and speak intelligent.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_04: You don't have to talk like me to be to try to use the correct words.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_04: I don't always use the correct words.
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_04: Are you are you kidding me?
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of times I'm using the wrong words, but she talked why.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_04: Woohoo, I love your voice.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_04: And I don't understand that.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_04: I really don't.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_04: I really don't.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_04: And then like I said, I'm gonna do a whole podcast about that.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, entire podcast I'm gonna do about that that topic.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna do it right now because we'd be here for hours.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_04: But I'm gonna do a whole entire topic on that talking white and talking black.
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_04: I'm doing a podcast about that.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I am.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_04: Another thing I want to quickly speak on is and this people have always said this about me.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_04: You always walk in bouncing, happy, excited.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_04: I don't care where I am.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_04: It could be at the doctor's office, it could be the dentist, I could be at work or especially at work.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_04: And one of my coworkers told me the other night, she said, I was walking down the hall singing, skip, skip, skip to malo, skip, skip, skip to malo, skip, skip, skip to malo, skip to maloo, my darling.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_04: And I was just jumping up like a little kid and and one of my coworkers, my co-workers said that lady rolled her eyes.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_04: Like, what's wrong with her?
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of people are like that, guys, not just that one lady.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_04: Do you know a lot of people, if you say good morning to them, it's almost like you spit in their face.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_04: It's almost like you curse them out when you say good morning.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of people hate when you say good morning to them.
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of people hate it to hate to see you happy or don't have to be payday.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of people get happy when it's payday.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_04: You know, if you see a lot of them when it's payday, they're so happy.
• 39:20
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of them, a lot of them are not either, but when it's payday, people whole face change.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_04: They're happy.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_04: Good morning.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, how you doing?
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_02: Hi, what's up?
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_04: But if it's not payday, Sour Lumens man, and so I act like it's payday every day.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_04: And so people they're like, what's her problem?
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_04: Why is she so happy all the time?
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_04: And it offends them because I'm happy.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_01: But do you know why I'm happy?
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_01: Do you even know why I'm happy?
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_04: I'm happy because I'm breezing breathing, speaking, walking, talking.
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_04: Got a roof over my head.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_04: And so many other reasons to be thankful and happy.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_04: Doesn't have to be payday for me.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_04: You you need any more reasons why I skip around here and I'm bouncing around here and I'm happy?
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_04: Do you need any more reasons?
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_04: Why you sit there and you got it all?
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_04: But yet you sit there with anger in your heart and mad at the world for whatever reason.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_04: Angry, always looking for trouble, trying to get people in trouble.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_04: But yet, you see a person who's happy and excited all the time doesn't have to be payday for me.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_04: Every day is payday for me.
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_04: It doesn't have to be payday for me to be happy and thankful.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_04: But yet, you sit there angry, like I have done wrong.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_04: Like I people would much rather you be mad and cursing people out, and they'd rather that than see you happy.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_04: Some people hate you being happy because they are so miserable with the capital M.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_04: Some people are so miserable in their life, in their home life, on their job life, in their everyday life, they are so miserable and they cannot stand seeing you happy.
• 41:41
  SPEAKER_04: But my answer to you the next time you see me with a smile on my face, bouncing around here, walking down this hall, saying hallelujah That's because God gave me peace And I thank him, I thank him, I thank him And just because you sit there, you got your strength and you got your life you sit there and you miserable But if you were laying on your back lying on your back someone had to come in and clean you and you could do nothing for yourself You're gonna think about all those times that you could have been thankful when you had that opportunity and did not do it.
• 42:40
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe then you'll think about that that woman that came through there happy singing skip to Maloo and happy and smiling good morning and maybe you'll think then, boy, I only wish I could just walk or talk or do whatever.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_04: You gotta think then why you two should have been more thankful and grateful.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_04: That's the reason I'm happy, guys.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_04: Not because of some paycheck, not because it's Christmas or Thanksgiving or every day is Thanksgiving to me.
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_04: Every day is Christmas to me.
• 43:19
  SPEAKER_04: Because the Lord gave me life or give me health, give me strength.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, every day is a blessing to me.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_04: It might not be to you, but you sure ain't gonna take this this joy that I have?
• 43:38
  SPEAKER_01: You know, this joy is out of my heart.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_04: The Lord gave me this joy, and there's nothing you can do to take that joy away from me.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_04: You know why?
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_04: Do you wanna know why?
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_04: You really want to know why?
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_04: Because this joy that I have The Lord gave me this joy.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_04: And the world can't take it away.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_04: Only God can take it away.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_04: If I'm not thankful, if I'm not grateful, if I don't give God the praises, you know what I mean?
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_04: Then yeah, he'll eventually remove that candlestick, he'll remove it.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_04: Why?
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_04: Because I wasn't thankful and grateful.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_04: That's why I'm blessed with so much.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_04: People wonder why does she why is she blessed with so many things?
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_04: So many talents.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_04: You know why?
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_04: Because I thank God for little things.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_04: See when you start thanking the Lord for the little bitty things that you get, like the little bitty snowflake, like the little bitty drop.
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_04: They got see God test us sometime to see, are we thankful for the little bitty things?
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_04: And once he realized, oh wow, she's thankful for that, I'm gonna give her more.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_04: And that's why I'm blessed with so much.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_04: Because I thank God for so little, which seems to be little, but I thank God for the smallest, and that's why he has elevated me to the top.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_04: And I'm still thanking him.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_04: Just because he's blessed me to be called one of the top voiceover talents in the world.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_04: Do you think that that's gonna go to my head?
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_04: I pray hard.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_04: God, don't let that go to my head.
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_04: Don't let that go to my head, Lord.
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_04: I pray hard.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_04: You guys don't know.
• 45:19
  SPEAKER_04: I pray hard just for that.
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_04: Asking God not to let that go to my head.
• 45:23
  SPEAKER_04: Because stuff like that can go to your head, and you can start thinking, ooh, ooh, look at me.
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_04: Me at the top of the top.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_04: No, I don't ever want to think like that.
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_04: I'm thankful.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_04: I'm thankful.
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, I am.
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_04: But I don't ever want to think that I'm better than anybody else.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_04: Never want to think that way.
• 45:45
  SPEAKER_04: I don't want to think that I'm so good that I'm untouchable.
• 45:49
  SPEAKER_04: I don't want to think that I'm so good that I cannot serve.
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of people think they're too good.
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_04: They think they they get these positions and oh my lord.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_04: Look at me.
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_04: Look at you down there.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_04: I don't ever want to be that way.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_04: Because I got so I got right now more than a lot of people got and they're in top of the top of the top of positions.
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_04: But I don't want them to know.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_04: I want them to keep thinking that I'm just this quiet little girl, a woman that walks around.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_04: I want them to think that.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_04: I want them to have that image right there because then they don't know all of the things that I do on the side.
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_04: They don't know because I don't have a sign on my back saying I do a thousand other things and I'm very successful.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_04: I don't want them to know.
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_04: Because if you don't know, you don't know.
• 46:52
  SPEAKER_04: If you do, you do.
• 46:58
  SPEAKER_04: I am so thankful today that God made me me.
• 47:04
  SPEAKER_04: I'm thankful because he couldn't make me anybody else.
• 47:07
  SPEAKER_04: He made me Regina Sworn.
• 47:11
  SPEAKER_04: He made me Regina Sworn.
• 47:13
  SPEAKER_04: And I'm so happy.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_04: Because I'm so grateful.
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_04: I thank God for being humble because humble is the way, guys.
• 47:22
  SPEAKER_04: Umble is when you got a lot, but you don't walk around with a big head like you got it all.
• 47:30
  SPEAKER_04: Because like I said, if people knew everything I've accomplished and all the things that I got right now, even right now, if they knew, and a lot of people would be like, what are you doing here?
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_04: Why why not be here?
• 47:45
  SPEAKER_04: Why not?
• 47:47
  SPEAKER_04: I I know of millionaires, I know millionaires who still do stuff, who are still working and doing whatever, and and and at the same time doing all the other things that they're doing.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_04: So why not?
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_04: I got health and strength.
• 48:01
  SPEAKER_04: God's giving me my health and strength.
• 48:03
  SPEAKER_04: Why not?
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_04: Why not?
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not too good to do what I do, the things that I do.
• 48:11
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not too good for that.
• 48:14
  SPEAKER_04: See, that's why God bless me, guys.
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_04: It's people like that that the Lord elevate to other levels.
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_04: He keeps elevating you higher, higher, higher, higher, higher.
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_04: People don't understand it.
• 48:29
  SPEAKER_04: They don't really, oh my god, he is just I didn't know.
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of people say, I didn't know you did all of that.
• 48:37
  SPEAKER_04: I keep telling you why.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_04: Because I'm humble.
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_04: I ask God to keep me humble.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_04: I pray, I pray hard for that.
• 48:47
  SPEAKER_04: I do.
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_04: I pray hard for that.
• 48:51
  SPEAKER_04: I've been there, done that.
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_04: All the things people are trying to do now, fighting over who's gonna be the top, this, top, that, getting on all these things, wanting to be seen.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_04: Guys, listen, I have been there, done that.
• 49:04
  SPEAKER_04: I no longer want that.
• 49:06
  SPEAKER_04: I want to stay in the background, low, meek, humble.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_04: And I I do that so I can help other people in the background, guys.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_04: So I help other people be out front.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe they don't have that.
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_04: So I teach them and show them how to do it.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_04: You can't tell people what to do, but if they come to me and ask me, I'll I'll let them know what my it's like a recipe, I'll give you my recipe, but I'm not gonna give that recipe to everybody.
• 49:37
  SPEAKER_04: Mm-mm.
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_04: What recipe is she talking about?
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_04: Recipe of life.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_04: That I'm not gonna give that to everybody, no.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_04: Because they a lot of times they don't want it.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_04: So just remember what what I said in the beginning.
• 49:54
  SPEAKER_04: You got that group right there who's gonna be, I'm gonna take I promise, I promise.
• 49:59
  SPEAKER_04: Or family members, I can't find it, Tina, where's your podcast, Tina?
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_04: I can't find it.
• 50:04
  SPEAKER_04: But you can find everything and everybody else.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_04: See an excuse is only an excuse when you make it an excuse, because when you keep saying something over and over and over again, you can either either do it or it becomes an excuse.
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_04: So a lot of people got excuse written at the top of their heads in all cap letters.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_04: And I don't mean bad when I say set that group of people to the side and put an X on them.
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_04: Now I didn't mean anything bad by that guy, so don't go thinking like, oh boy, she was cruel.
• 50:43
  SPEAKER_04: No, I wasn't.
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_04: I'm saying I know where you stand with me.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_04: That doesn't mean I'm not gonna be nice to you.
• 50:50
  SPEAKER_04: That doesn't mean I'm not gonna help you.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_04: It's not doesn't mean I'm not gonna say good morning or good evening or goodbye.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_04: Doesn't mean that.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_04: But that just means I know where you stand, where we stand.
• 51:03
  SPEAKER_04: See, everybody's not gonna be a Adeline Chapman.
• 51:06
  SPEAKER_04: Adeline thought put that lady in my life because Delore knew her time on earth was almost over.
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_04: And now looking back, I see what Dolores was doing.
• 51:14
  SPEAKER_04: Sometimes you have to let Delore do his thing.
• 51:17
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I let him I try to let Lord do his thing all the time though.
• 51:21
  SPEAKER_04: But we're coming up on the hour, so we're gonna just sit back here at the end this podcast.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_04: But I I I do my best to stay away from people who gossip, people who try to find fault, people who try to make trouble for other people, people who talk about people.
• 51:41
  SPEAKER_04: I try to I try to get away from people like that.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_04: I really do.
• 51:46
  SPEAKER_04: I I I do, guys.
• 51:48
  SPEAKER_04: The Lord removed me from one is one place because I was surrounded by people like that.
• 51:57
  SPEAKER_04: You go back and listen to one of my other podcasts, you'll see by a friend indeed.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_04: You listen to that podcast.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_04: The Lord took me out of that situation because he didn't want me around those people.
• 52:08
  SPEAKER_04: And I don't regret not being there at all.
• 52:12
  SPEAKER_04: See, it's not let me tell you this, it's not about how much money you make, it's how much money you can save.
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_04: Are you wise with the money that you do make?
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_04: Because some people make a lot of money, but they're not wise with it.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_04: Some people, as soon as they get money, they go spend it.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_04: They go spend it like somebody crazy.
• 52:33
  SPEAKER_04: Just spend it up, and then you ain't got nothing, then you're asking other people for help.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_04: But I I learned to live a frugal life.
• 52:41
  SPEAKER_04: Go back and listen to my podcast about frugal and broke.
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_04: Go back and listen.
• 52:45
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna go over that right now.
• 52:47
  SPEAKER_04: Go listen to the podcast.
• 52:49
  SPEAKER_04: For those who don't listen to my podcast, you'll be like, oh, well, I want to hear more of that.
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_04: Well, go back and listen to some of my podcasts.
• 52:55
  SPEAKER_04: I've made hundreds of podcasts.
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_04: Go back and listen.
• 53:01
  SPEAKER_04: Go back and listen.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna go over that right now.
• 53:04
  SPEAKER_04: But it's not how much you make, it's how much you are able to use wisely with what you do make.
• 53:11
  SPEAKER_04: And a lot of people are not wise guys.
• 53:14
  SPEAKER_04: They've been making the same old excuse for years and years and years.
• 53:20
  SPEAKER_04: They come up with all kinds of excuses because that's what it is to me.
• 53:24
  SPEAKER_04: When you start saying what you can't do, that's an excuse to me.
• 53:29
  SPEAKER_04: That's an excuse.
• 53:31
  SPEAKER_04: So if you want something, you can have something.
• 53:35
  SPEAKER_04: I don't care who you are.
• 53:37
  SPEAKER_04: You can have it, but you gotta work for it.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_04: Don't expect for somebody just to hand it to you on a silver platter.
• 53:44
  SPEAKER_04: Because anything that you've gotta work for yourself, you appreciate it more.
• 53:50
  SPEAKER_04: Very few people appreciate something that's given to them 100%.
• 53:55
  SPEAKER_04: But when you gotta work for that thing, you're gonna appreciate that thing more.
• 54:01
  SPEAKER_04: You are.
• 54:03
  SPEAKER_04: So when people tell me they don't have this and they don't have this, I want this, I want that.
• 54:09
  SPEAKER_04: Well, darn it, you better get to working for it.
• 54:12
  SPEAKER_04: Because nobody should have to hand you anything.
• 54:14
  SPEAKER_04: Who are you?
• 54:16
  SPEAKER_04: Work for it and you get it, and you appreciate it when you get it.
• 54:22
  SPEAKER_04: I can't tolerate I can't stand that kind of people.
• 54:25
  SPEAKER_04: Sorry, I had to say that.
• 54:28
  SPEAKER_04: I don't like that.
• 54:29
  SPEAKER_04: I I try to get away from people like that, believe it or not.
• 54:32
  SPEAKER_04: And I'd be working my way.
• 54:35
  SPEAKER_04: Finally, I get away from them too.
• 54:38
  SPEAKER_04: My voice is about to do some things on me, so I'm gonna get ready to go, guys.
• 54:43

• 55:34
  SPEAKER_04: I talk to him.
• 55:35
  SPEAKER_04: Anytime you can hear a person's voice, to me that means more than I'm not a person that liked texting.
• 55:41
  SPEAKER_04: I can't stand texting.
• 55:42
  SPEAKER_04: I really hate that.
• 55:44
  SPEAKER_04: I have more respect for a person when I can hear their voice and talk to them.
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_04: I don't really care for all that texting.
• 55:51
  SPEAKER_04: I understand sometimes you have to, but when it becomes text, text, text, text, text, and then I'd be the more I'd be saying, Alright, Gina, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

  SPEAKER_04: You know, I got people that I really do appreciate who's been there for me, you know, throughout my life.
• 56:31
  SPEAKER_04: Some throughout my life, and some who are just friends who've been there, and I I really do appreciate them.
• 56:37
  SPEAKER_04: They didn't just jump on board now, but they've been there for years, over a decade, some of them, and a lot of them for most of my life, and I appreciate them.
