  Now, this is normally the time of the show when we have a question
• 0:02
  for our American mama, but today we'd like to introduce you to someone.
• 0:06
  You're ready, Yeah, let's do it. Mamma, mamma, and joining
• 0:21
  us now our American mama, Terry Netterville. We also have somebody else in
• 0:26
  studio, and Terry, I'll let you introduce our other friend here in studio.
• 0:29
  I am so happy to introduce all of you out there to my sister,
• 0:33
  Kimberly. Many of you know her. She's on Facebook. We're on
• 0:36
  Facebook together. We wrote a book together. Kimberly is the oldest, she's
• 0:40
  a year older. We're going to point that out. Let's just make that
• 0:44
  clear now. We're so Kimberly burrows in here in the studio with us to
• 0:48
  day, sitting at the end of the table that has not been occupied in
• 0:52
  a while. So it's good to have four people around the desk again.
• 0:55
  Actually, I feel very honored and very privileged to be sitting in Denise's chair.
• 1:00
  There's not anyone like Denise that with that brilliance is unmuched by anyone I
• 1:04
  know. But I feel very, very blessed to be sitting where she's I
• 1:08
  can promise you that she would be thrilled. She loves you, know how
• 1:11
  she loves you. So I loved her and y'all had a lot to talk
• 1:15
  about. For those that don't know, Kimberly is, uh, well,
• 1:19
  first of all, she's our go to in our family. She's she decorates
• 1:23
  everybody's houses, she decorates when they go to college, she decorates saw the
• 1:27
  kid's rooms, their dorms, and then when we have parties and celebrations,
• 1:30
  she's our you know, our decorator. But she's also the one that we
• 1:34
  go to, especially me and Denise too, when she's our go to.
• 1:40
  And I wanted to get a perspective when something would happen politically speaking, and
• 1:44
  I couldn't quite wrap my head around you know how I felt about it.
• 1:48
  She was the she's always my other sister is the same way. We would
• 1:51
  call Kimer and say what do you think of this? What do you make
• 1:53
  of it? And she has instincts about things in a perspective, and I
• 1:57
  go, oh, my gosh, never thought about that. So she's very
• 2:00
  fun to talk to when it comes to political things because her take is so
• 2:05
  different and she comes from a point of she can see everybody's sides. You
• 2:09
  know, she can see every side to every situation, whereas I'm sometimes I'm
• 2:15
  I'm a stickler for you know, well this is how I feel because this
• 2:19
  is so you're more black and white, yeah, and she's more yeah.
• 2:23
  And that's kind of how she is. Even within my marriage. If I
• 2:25
  have an argument with Kevin, let's say all these years and I call her
• 2:30
  and I'm like, let me tell you what this e or just said to
• 2:31
  me, and I'll go into it, and she's the one that will say,
• 2:36
  you know, I can see why you would be upset, but okay,
• 2:38
  can I just tell you his perspective because I can kind of see where
• 2:40
  he's coming from and the moment you're like, no, I don't want to
• 2:44
  hear it, but she usually would. And that's why Kevin loves for me
• 2:46
  to vent to her, because because she is a safe place, it's not
• 2:51
  going anywhere. But also at the same time, she allows me to see
• 2:53
  it from his perspective, and I kind of calmed down, you know,
• 2:58
  the you know, my feathers get smooth a little bit. So she is.
• 3:01
  I think people are going to fall in love. They always do well,
• 3:06
  I don't know about that. Well that is true, hope, hopefully
• 3:08
  that is true. It's one of those things like apart independently, you know,
• 3:14
  I've got another We've got another sister. You know, independently, we're
• 3:16
  all great. If I could say so myself, I agree, but we're
• 3:21
  better when we're all together. We have a brother as well, but he's
• 3:23
  not politically, doesn't get into all this stuff. But it is one of
• 3:28
  those things. Like she when she graduated from high school, she waited.
• 3:31
  She went to junior college for a year so that we could go to Louisiana
• 3:35
  Tech together. Yes, so we went to Tech together. We went through
• 3:38
  Rush together, and I said, I said, okay, I think I
• 3:40
  like this house. She's like, no, we're going, Katie. I
• 3:43
  was like, oh, okay, we're going, Katie. So that's what
• 3:45
  we did. So we were known as the Spink Sisters, you know,
• 3:49
  really throughout our entire life. So I want to get to this point because
• 3:53
  obviously we started American Ground Radio. We first came to you, Terry and
• 3:58
  Lewis is Lewis's idea. He said, hey, we're all ideas. Actually
• 4:04
  it was Colleen, it was his wife. We have to really go to
• 4:10
  the source. Okay, So we said, hey, Terry would like for
• 4:14
  you to be on the show, and you said, no, no,
• 4:15
  no, But I've got somebody who's perfect, and you brought Denise onto the
• 4:18
  show. Yes, And I was right, and Denise was Niece was great.
• 4:23
  Still feel Deniece's influence all the time. Why and this was your decision.
• 4:30
  This was your decision to ask Kimberly to come and do some segments here
• 4:33
  with us. Why. You know, it's so funny because I was thinking
• 4:38
  about it. You know, I thought, well, after Denise passed away,
• 4:42
  I didn't even know if I was going to do it. I didn't
• 4:44
  know if I was going to continue this. It was such a sadness.
• 4:46
  And I thought her voice, her humor, her perspective was so great,
• 4:50
  and I thought, how in the world am I going to carry this?
• 4:54
  And and it was her friends and her husband who was like, you don't
• 4:58
  have a choice. You have to do this for her. And I do
• 5:00
  feel a sense of purpose a mission in this quest that we all have,
• 5:04
  and I didn't want to let you guys down. And it's been fun,
• 5:06
  it's been great. And then at this point after you know, during the
• 5:11
  summer, I would continue to call. You know, Kimberly and I talk
• 5:14
  every day, and there were a lot of times we would hang up and
• 5:17
  I would think, Kylee, people would love to hear that perspective. And
• 5:21
  as much as I feel like that, people might like my perspective. It's
• 5:25
  always good to have somebody that you can bounce stuff, and when it's somebody
• 5:28
  like somebody like your sister, that you can trust, kind of like Denise,
• 5:30
  we had a trust between us, yes, and so I feel the
• 5:35
  same way and with my sister Kimberly, and I do feel it with Lindsay
• 5:39
  too, But Kimberly is the one that she's really the one that we all
• 5:44
  kind of go to the one thing. Well, I think it's just the
• 5:46
  oldest sibling more than that. Even when Dad died seventeen years ago, she
• 5:51
  was the rock of the family all fight My mom and the rest of us
• 5:56
  would say she was our go to. So there's just something about her that's
• 5:59
  got such gosh, Terry Well, the truth, I love you so much.
• 6:04
  Well, if I think you're gonna love Kimberly as well, and we
• 6:08
