Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question, speaking of questions in for our
- 0:02Speaker 1: American mamas. Dear mama's, would you rather be wealthy with
- 0:05Speaker 1: no friends or poor with lots of good friends?
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mamas.
- 0:10Speaker 3: Mama, mama, she.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Said, and joining us now our American mama's Terry Ediville
- 0:24Speaker 1: and Kimberly Burlison. Okay, I mean, you guys have lots
- 0:28Speaker 1: of friends, but you also have talked about being a
- 0:30Speaker 1: cusp girl on the edge of the group, like in
- 0:33Speaker 1: the heart of it, and being able to go with
- 0:35Speaker 1: a bunch of different groups. What's better being wealthy with
- 0:39Speaker 1: no friends or being poor with lots of good.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Well, wealth cannot fix loneliness. And I know that when
- 0:45Speaker 3: we're younger, we think we want the house, the cars,
- 0:49Speaker 3: the stuff. But as we age, as all of us
- 0:52Speaker 3: here know it, don't you don't care. As you get older,
- 0:55Speaker 3: you want this simple life.
- 0:56Speaker 2: You want peace.
- 0:57Speaker 3: I don't want poverty because there's a whole set of
- 1:00Speaker 3: stress that comes with poverty. So my vote is just comfortable,
- 1:05Speaker 3: simple life with lots of friends, because I think about
- 1:08Speaker 3: those last moments on earth and who I want around
- 1:10Speaker 3: me more than what's around me.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, wait, that was not the question.
- 1:15Speaker 3: That's my question answer.
- 1:16Speaker 2: The question was.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Wealthy with no friends or poor with lots of friends.
- 1:21Speaker 3: I don't want to be poor.
- 1:22Speaker 2: I want to be chose.
- 1:25Speaker 3: If I had to choose, I would definitely choose poor
- 1:28Speaker 3: to have the friendships because you know, stuff, But I
- 1:33Speaker 3: don't want to be poor. I want to be right
- 1:34Speaker 3: there in the middle.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because if you, let's say that, if
- 1:40Speaker 2: you choose that, if you choose to be poor with
- 1:42Speaker 2: true friends, which I think most people would want, that
- 1:45Speaker 2: you're all in it together, so you don't feel poor,
- 1:48Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like you all are in
- 1:51Speaker 2: it together, you all you know, like that's so you know.
- 1:55Speaker 3: What when we lived in Mississippi, and say lived in Mississippi,
- 1:58Speaker 3: we went to a high school and I think there's
- 1:59Speaker 3: about five hundred kids in the whole high school parking
- 2:02Speaker 3: lot was the size of the studio, just a room.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Nobody had cars, everybody rode the school bus. We all
- 2:09Speaker 3: felt the same. And it wasn't until we moved one
- 2:11Speaker 3: summer to Texas and I'm were BMW's and Porsches in
- 2:15Speaker 3: the parking lot that I was aware of what we
- 2:17Speaker 3: did not have. I was never aware of it until
- 2:20Speaker 3: I was around people that had so much. So you're right,
- 2:24Speaker 3: there is a there is a together when you're all together.
- 2:27Speaker 2: True friends, and like I said, I think most people
- 2:29Speaker 2: would choose Look, I'd rather have not a lot of
- 2:32Speaker 2: money and true friends. But I have noticed something with
- 2:36Speaker 2: regard to the elites in America, especially Hollywood. I don't Okay,
- 2:41Speaker 2: so you've got this group, they're all they're all in
- 2:44Speaker 2: it together. I don't know. I mean, maybe they feel
- 2:48Speaker 2: like they're true, but they're part of some kind of
- 2:50Speaker 2: club that is there's a little sinister thread in there
- 2:55Speaker 2: where yeah, they might have a lot of money, but
- 2:57Speaker 2: they've sold something of themselves to something. I don't know
- 3:01Speaker 2: what it is, their soul, but the way that they
- 3:05Speaker 2: the way that they well rumored to have these parties
- 3:11Speaker 2: and these things that are are not of God, it
- 3:14Speaker 2: is scary to me. And I'm thinking, did they choose that? Did?
- 3:16Speaker 2: Did you know? There's things that are talked about. I'm
- 3:20Speaker 2: just going to say the word illuminati is a word
- 3:22Speaker 2: people say, don't say that word, don't say that word.
- 3:24Speaker 2: But it's a thing where they say that there's a
- 3:27Speaker 2: group of people that are part of this illuminati, and
- 3:31Speaker 2: they are in so deep and they sold their soul
- 3:34Speaker 2: so that they could have the fame and the fortune
- 3:36Speaker 2: and all of that that they there's no return, there's
- 3:39Speaker 2: no going back.
- 3:40Speaker 1: The comedian Kat Williams talks about that people have made
- 3:44Speaker 1: backroom deals, yeah, that they've brought in and that there's
- 3:46Speaker 1: powers that be that have promoted people and not promoted
- 3:49Speaker 1: other people.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Right. But if you think about it, yes they have.
- 3:53Speaker 2: It looks from the outside end, it looks like they
- 3:55Speaker 2: are living the life they've got. They they've got the fame,
- 4:00Speaker 2: the fortune, the yachts, several homes, fly anywhere they want to,
- 4:04Speaker 2: even though they tell you you can't fly everywhere because
- 4:06Speaker 2: of the fuel or whatever. They all have the same
- 4:09Speaker 2: talking points. They never go against each other. And I
- 4:12Speaker 2: think that would be the most uncomfortable, uneasy if I
- 4:17Speaker 2: did do that. If I chose that which friends are
- 4:19Speaker 2: real or which people are there with you simply because
- 4:22Speaker 2: they know you've got the yacht, you've got, the homes,
- 4:25Speaker 2: you've got you know your finger you've got everything at
- 4:28Speaker 2: your fingertips. And I don't think it would be worth it.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I would not want to live in a world in
- 4:32Speaker 2: which I sold a part of myself that was so real,
- 4:35Speaker 2: especially my relationship with Christ. In order to have all
- 4:38Speaker 2: of that, I'd rather be a nobody that song. I'd
- 4:42Speaker 2: rather be a nobody who tells everybody about God, you know,
- 4:46Speaker 2: and not have that fame or fortune and all of that,
- 4:49Speaker 2: and have true friends, people I can truly rely on.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Because in the end, when you go to funerals and
- 4:54Speaker 2: you listen to the way that people talk about their
- 4:57Speaker 2: mamma or their dad or their sister, who and they say.
- 5:01Speaker 2: They don't say, oh, that man, she had this many yachts,
- 5:04Speaker 2: she had these men. No, they say, she loved me
- 5:07Speaker 2: without condition. If I need a soft place to land,
- 5:11Speaker 2: my mema was the one I could go to if
- 5:14Speaker 2: if my dad knew a neighbor needed something, he didn't
- 5:18Speaker 2: tell the world about it. He went over there and
- 5:20Speaker 2: he mowed their yard and stuck a little hundred in
- 5:23Speaker 2: their milk. That's who I want to be. That's who
- 5:26Speaker 2: I want to be around. That's who I want my
- 5:28Speaker 2: children to be. That's my people. And if we're poor,
- 5:32Speaker 2: so be it. We'll be in it together fair enough.
