00:00:03.067 --> 00:00:05.833
Hello and welcome to Keep Hope Alive.

00:00:05.833 --> 00:00:07.527
Today we have another great show.

00:00:07.527 --> 00:00:10.199
I got Terry Carney Sr here.

00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:19.963
He is an accomplished filmmaker and author and founder of Platinum City, golden West Entertainment, and it's all about put these guns down with this show today.

00:00:19.963 --> 00:00:30.699
Put these guns down with this show today and he oh my gosh we're going to be like really diving into his story and everything and learning so much about him.

00:00:30.699 --> 00:00:32.506
So welcome to Keep Hope Alive.

00:00:32.506 --> 00:00:34.600
I'm so excited you're on today.

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:42.808
So, but first, you know, as I always get started with my guests, I have one random, fun question for you.

00:00:42.808 --> 00:00:44.002
Okay, you ready for this?

00:00:44.343 --> 00:00:44.802
I'm ready.

00:00:44.802 --> 00:00:46.746
I'm ready, I'm ready, all right.

00:00:46.926 --> 00:00:50.052
So out of the past year, how many weddings have you been to?

00:00:50.052 --> 00:00:54.463
Actually zero, zero.

00:00:54.463 --> 00:00:55.725
What a good number.

00:00:55.725 --> 00:01:02.575
You know, yeah, sometimes I go, but I'm usually the photographer there, so I totally understand.

00:01:02.575 --> 00:01:13.921
All right, well, let's just say that you are going to your friend's wedding and that's, let's say, in a church, and you're walking in there is something you need to sign.

00:01:13.921 --> 00:01:15.263
What is that called?

00:01:15.965 --> 00:01:17.367
The guest book always.

00:01:18.250 --> 00:01:19.992
Always the guest book, Very good.

00:01:19.992 --> 00:01:24.995
Well, one of our biggest sponsors here is Name Life on Record and what they have?

00:01:24.995 --> 00:01:28.969
They have a vintage rotary phone.

00:01:28.969 --> 00:01:32.528
So when your guests are walking in, there's no book, it's a phone.

00:01:32.528 --> 00:01:40.268
They pick up and be like and you got one minute, five minutes, 20 minutes, but it's a wedding, let's say, and you can use it for really any event.

00:01:40.268 --> 00:01:45.423
But you pick up the phone and be like congratulations on your big day, we're so happy for you.

00:01:45.423 --> 00:01:50.393
Or maybe it's a groomsman saying dude, it was about time you put a ring on her finger.

00:01:50.739 --> 00:01:51.721
What were you thinking?

00:01:51.721 --> 00:01:56.450
So this makes it so fun to hear all these voices.

00:01:56.450 --> 00:02:11.128
I know there's always going to be a line, but what they do is they have this sign right next to it, the QR code, so you can take out your own mobile device, scan it and leave a message for them that way, before, after the event and stuff like that.

00:02:11.128 --> 00:02:29.085
So they will burn all these voice messages either on to a 12-inch vinyl record, which I think is so cute, and then they also have a little boom box speaker that you can choose and it's all personalized.

00:02:29.085 --> 00:02:30.610
It's a lot of fun.

00:02:30.610 --> 00:02:35.725
You can sit back on your one year anniversary and listen to all those messages.

00:02:35.725 --> 00:02:39.966
I think that would go good with wine and cake and funny messages, right.

00:02:40.146 --> 00:02:40.929
Yeah, really yeah.

00:02:40.949 --> 00:02:42.110
And their plans start at $99.

00:02:42.110 --> 00:02:45.795
You get the phone number for one year, which Good yeah, and their plans start at $99.

00:02:45.795 --> 00:02:49.191
You get the phone number for one year, which is amazing.

00:02:49.191 --> 00:02:54.570
But go and go check them out at wwwlifeonrecordcom.

00:02:54.570 --> 00:02:58.788
All right, Well, you know people are going to want to know who you are.

00:02:58.788 --> 00:02:59.891
So who is Terry?

00:03:01.259 --> 00:03:05.582
Well, let's start from the start, the very beginning.

00:03:05.582 --> 00:03:08.905
Well, I was born in Denver, colorado.

00:03:08.905 --> 00:03:11.006
I had some issues.

00:03:11.006 --> 00:03:12.266
My family was kind.

00:03:12.266 --> 00:03:14.268
Brothers got into some serious trouble.

00:03:14.268 --> 00:03:15.149
They had to do time.

00:03:15.149 --> 00:03:40.389
So I was back and forth from Los Angeles, you know, growing up, and I'm back in Los Angeles.

00:03:40.389 --> 00:03:44.794
I've been back in Los Angeles living here for over 40 years.

00:03:44.794 --> 00:03:50.724
So, yeah, so I live in South Central Los Angeles.

00:03:50.724 --> 00:03:59.122
I grew up well, ice-t and the rest of the family, they pretty much put me under their wings.

00:03:59.401 --> 00:04:03.268
When I was 17 years old, got into the music game.

00:04:03.268 --> 00:04:07.074
We put out a few rap records and things like that.

00:04:07.074 --> 00:04:11.046
Ice had signed a big deal with Warner Brothers and you know.

00:04:11.046 --> 00:04:13.551
So we was looking at it like this.

00:04:13.551 --> 00:04:23.266
You know, this is a way for us to get out the hood and come up and do some positive things, you know, instead of staying in the gang banging and all that kind of stuff.

00:04:23.266 --> 00:04:24.468
What was around us?

00:04:24.468 --> 00:04:27.735
So we got involved in the music game.

00:04:27.735 --> 00:04:33.291
I ended up started going to film school.

00:04:33.291 --> 00:04:37.771
I went to LA film school for like about six years.

00:04:37.771 --> 00:04:48.103
I graduated from there and I just kind of started looking around what was going on in the community and I was it?

00:04:48.103 --> 00:04:55.555
Just, I just wanted to make a difference with what was going on because we, you know, gangbanging is real in South Central LA.

00:04:55.555 --> 00:05:01.312
So I started, I called Ice up.

00:05:01.312 --> 00:05:10.233
I said, hey, man, look here, big bro, I really want to do this project and I'm going to need your support and your backing on it.

00:05:10.233 --> 00:05:11.622
And Ice is just like this.

00:05:11.622 --> 00:05:14.651
He's like no, bro, say no more.

00:05:14.651 --> 00:05:16.764
Whatever you want to do, let's do it.

00:05:16.764 --> 00:05:18.730
Just let me know what you need from me.

00:05:18.730 --> 00:05:21.785
And so I started filming.

00:05:22.245 --> 00:05:26.274
Filming this film put the Guns Down A World Epidemic.

00:05:26.274 --> 00:05:31.932
It took us about four years to actually complete this film.

00:05:31.932 --> 00:05:35.565
We took our time, we studied mental health.

00:05:35.565 --> 00:05:49.692
We just wanted to make sure the history of LA was accurate, with a lot of things that took place, because we felt like we had to bring it from what happened.

00:05:49.692 --> 00:05:52.487
Why is everything the way it is?

00:05:52.487 --> 00:06:02.651
So we took it from the ground and we, we went through the drugs, we went through everything that happened the riots, everything.

00:06:02.651 --> 00:06:10.350
I mean we did our homework and history on this film and it really came out well.

00:06:10.350 --> 00:06:23.305
And we touch issues from drugs you know, family members on drugs, suicide, mental health, gangbanging we have a lot of them.

00:06:23.305 --> 00:06:30.100
Health gangbanging.

00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:30.440
We have a lot of.

00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.404
We did something that's so a blessing and God had to bless us and pull us through this.

00:06:32.404 --> 00:06:37.081
We went to every community of our hoods out here in South Central.

00:06:37.081 --> 00:06:52.026
We was able to accomplish getting the real OGs that don't go on camera to actually speak to us without killing us for crossing enemy lines out here and that's very serious here in South Central.

00:06:52.026 --> 00:06:55.124
But we, yeah.

00:06:55.124 --> 00:07:14.523
So we actually got these guys to allow me they didn't want nobody but me to interview them, so I interviewed them and it's crazy, this is the first documentary where you're going to have the Crips, the Bloods.

00:07:14.523 --> 00:07:19.485
You got the Mexican Mafia, you got the Samoans, you got the Asians.

00:07:19.485 --> 00:07:26.966
We brought everybody together on this film, which we made history with doing this documentary.

00:07:26.966 --> 00:07:30.947
So this is a historical documentary that we're about to release.

00:07:31.507 --> 00:07:33.509
Ice did all the narrations on it.

00:07:33.509 --> 00:07:40.370
We have a lot of the OG hip hop artists that's in this film.

00:07:40.370 --> 00:07:48.252
You know from Spice One, ice-t Compton's Most Wanted Quicksilver we got a whole list.

00:07:48.252 --> 00:07:51.553
Big LV from Gangster's Paradise he's in the film.

00:07:51.553 --> 00:08:03.377
We have a big cast of celebrities that's in the film and family members that their loved ones was taken away from them.

00:08:03.377 --> 00:08:14.062
We don't say, lost their loved ones.

00:08:14.062 --> 00:08:20.514
We say that their loved ones was taken away because that's where actually, you know, these mothers are sensitive.

00:08:21.259 --> 00:08:24.446
So, I mean, the film just came out.

00:08:24.446 --> 00:08:25.247
Wonderful.

00:08:25.247 --> 00:08:52.602
We actually we're having a film festival with the Culver City Film Festival, which is going to be December 14th at LA Regal Center, down by the Staples Center, which is beautiful down there, and December 14th Christmas time, which is beautiful down there, and December 14th Christmas time, we're planning on setting up a press conference, ice and Ice Cube and everybody is coming to the festival.

00:08:52.602 --> 00:08:56.587
So we're telling you guys, come on out, be a part of this movement.

00:08:56.587 --> 00:09:05.908
We're going to be coming to your city soon because our game plan is to launch a tour with this as well as the release of the film.

00:09:06.008 --> 00:09:28.033
Which the film should be released, uh, february 1st 2025, on platforms like um, amazon, prime tv, to be google tv, hoodoo, it's it's a lot of different networks that they're releasing the film on.

00:09:28.033 --> 00:09:32.126
February 1st is the due date, so you're getting it here first.

00:09:32.126 --> 00:09:34.442
So just want to know.

00:09:34.442 --> 00:09:50.701
Nobody else knows about this information that I'm releasing to you right now, you know.

00:09:50.701 --> 00:10:00.643
So my whole team won't want you guys to come out and support and embrace these mothers and family members that lost their loved ones and they have to celebrate the holidays without their loved ones, which is very sad, and you know.

00:10:00.643 --> 00:10:07.914
So I just think you guys should come out, hug them, you know, let them know that you know, you praying for them.

00:10:07.914 --> 00:10:11.908
That'll mean a lot, you know, and be a part of the press conference, really.

00:10:12.871 --> 00:10:13.514
Exactly.

00:10:13.514 --> 00:10:21.789
I hear you and I know I could be there in spirit and I'm happy that you know you're coming through.

00:10:21.789 --> 00:10:37.403
Keep hope alive, because that was the one thing that reading about you and it's like I'm bringing hope and I love that that I saw those words because that is really what it's about.

00:10:37.403 --> 00:10:47.611
So the word taken, that is accurate and that is scary because it goes through so many different emotions too when you're that family member.

00:10:47.611 --> 00:10:54.932
So losing versus taking, and the taking is very hard and it's a grief process for them.

00:10:54.932 --> 00:10:59.750
So you know, of course they are going to be going through the holidays.

00:10:59.809 --> 00:11:04.831
Like you said, those are the hardest moments, even birthdays and learning.

00:11:04.831 --> 00:11:08.201
You said those are the hardest moments, even birthdays and learning.

00:11:08.201 --> 00:11:12.450
They have to learn how to move on and be at peace and know their loved one.

00:11:12.450 --> 00:11:20.509
They're in a safe place right now but watching over them, so getting the stories, I am so proud of you.

00:11:20.509 --> 00:11:27.380
You know I was at church today and I was listening and we're doing a sermon called the Gift.

00:11:27.380 --> 00:11:38.347
Okay, but being able to go out into territories that you cannot even imagine, they didn't want you there, but being the voice and being heard.

00:11:38.347 --> 00:11:42.542
Look at you, they only want you Amazing.

00:11:43.943 --> 00:11:45.046
Well, I have history.

00:11:45.046 --> 00:11:45.947
I have history.

00:11:45.947 --> 00:11:46.469
I grew.

00:11:46.469 --> 00:11:48.472
You know, I'm from the hood.

00:11:48.472 --> 00:11:48.953
For real.

00:11:48.953 --> 00:12:20.254
I'm not scared to go in any territory, I don't care what state it is or whatever, and that's my game plan is to come to different cities, one part of a 12-part series that we want to finish up by going to other states, other cities, and show what's going on in your town, your city, and we want to come and work with your programs and help to try to save lives.

00:12:20.254 --> 00:12:25.386
We are doing God's work, that's what we're really doing, and we can't have no fear from evil.

00:12:25.386 --> 00:12:27.732
You know, we have to believe in the Lord, jesus Christ.

00:12:27.732 --> 00:12:31.466
That's who I got Christ's blood all over me.

00:12:31.466 --> 00:12:34.033
So, whatever you want to do to me, let's do it.

00:12:34.033 --> 00:12:34.600
Bring it.

00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:39.373
That's where, that's how I am and my whole team would tell you that's what I stand on.

00:12:39.373 --> 00:12:43.307
I stand on the blood of Christ and I'm coming to your town.

00:12:43.408 --> 00:12:53.701
We want everybody to support this movie, support the movement, send your prayers to us.

00:12:53.701 --> 00:12:59.815
We need all prayers and blessings and healings for these mothers and family members that family members have been taken from them and worldwide.

00:12:59.815 --> 00:13:09.835
You know, we got to stop this madness and that's what it's all about and I'm trying to give those family members the platform that they need.

00:13:09.835 --> 00:13:27.876
And we need to call up these networks and demand more type of programs and movies and stuff on this level of the game, instead of our kids out here holding up pistols and shaking their butts and you know, and don't have clothes on and stuff like that.

00:13:27.876 --> 00:13:38.808
We got to change the narrative of what we are, what we are paying for subscriptions and everybody that's listening to this podcast.

00:13:38.808 --> 00:13:47.253
You have Netflix, you have Peacock, you have, but you are in control of what they show on these networks.

00:13:47.253 --> 00:13:50.524
You are a voice because you pay for those subscriptions.

00:13:50.524 --> 00:13:59.523
Stop paying those subscriptions and watch how quickly they change that narrative and start putting on the proper program, because we have kids.

00:13:59.623 --> 00:14:01.566
If you don't have kids, you have grandkids.

00:14:01.566 --> 00:14:07.955
If you don't have grandkids, you got nieces, you have nephews, you have you know, and if you love them, you want to change the narrative.

00:14:07.955 --> 00:14:11.107
Do you want your grandkids or your kids to go to the gas station?

00:14:11.107 --> 00:14:13.475
And I trust people, people.

00:14:13.475 --> 00:14:18.791
The biggest problem is people say, oh, that had never happened to me because I live over here, guess what.

00:14:18.791 --> 00:14:23.908
Pull up at that gas pump at the wrong time at the wrong place and and watch what happens.

00:14:23.908 --> 00:14:30.895
You'll be on one of my movies and stuff and then you want everybody to drop everything down and tend to you.

00:14:30.895 --> 00:14:32.541
So what about other people?

00:14:32.541 --> 00:14:33.022
What about?

00:14:33.022 --> 00:14:38.120
You know, if we Christ-like and fulfilled with Christ, what are we supposed to do?

00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.265
We're supposed to pray for each other.

00:14:41.265 --> 00:14:44.673
We're supposed to start really being a voice.

00:14:44.673 --> 00:14:47.583
It takes a village to save a kid and to raise a kid.

00:14:47.583 --> 00:14:50.109
So we have to change narratives.

00:14:50.288 --> 00:14:55.525
And it's in the communities I work over in the city of Beverly Hills.

00:14:55.525 --> 00:14:56.187
And guess what?

00:14:56.187 --> 00:15:03.307
These kids have been coming up robbing, murdering people all over LA.

00:15:03.307 --> 00:15:07.934
I mean, there is no safe zone anymore, like people used to think.

00:15:07.934 --> 00:15:12.009
You know, they, they doing home invasions at 10 o'clock in the morning.

00:15:12.009 --> 00:15:13.592
You know what I'm saying.

00:15:13.592 --> 00:15:23.201
So your father's house, that they, you know, and then you'll be calling me uh, they call me big T on the streets.

00:15:23.201 --> 00:15:27.403
Big T, will you please come and help out and bring your organization?

00:15:27.403 --> 00:15:32.788
Yeah, we'll come, but you should have been with us from day one.

00:15:32.908 --> 00:15:35.389
You know, support it, support the movement.

00:15:35.389 --> 00:15:44.416
Call up your local theaters, call up your subscribers and tell them, say, hey, we want this movie.

00:15:44.416 --> 00:15:51.971
Put the guns down, a world epidemic we want you to have this on your platform because this is what I want my kids to see.

00:15:51.971 --> 00:15:56.970
I want my kids look at these university killings and things like that.

00:15:56.970 --> 00:15:57.913
We got to stop that.

00:15:57.913 --> 00:16:18.524
We want to come to every university and contact us and let us know if you, if you attend a high school, if you attend a college, hit uh, contact rachel and say, hey, we want to book you guys at this high school, we want to book you at this college.

00:16:18.524 --> 00:16:19.726
We're available.

00:16:19.726 --> 00:16:22.493
Myself, ice, all of us are available.

00:16:22.493 --> 00:16:24.725
We out here for real trying to save lives.

00:16:24.725 --> 00:16:25.870
People have no idea.

00:16:25.870 --> 00:16:41.547
We serious about what we're doing, you know, and the contents of films that Platinum City will put out is going to be stuff for you and your family to learn from and to see what's really going on and to help your kids stay alive.

00:16:42.780 --> 00:16:45.725
See, and that's really good because it's a visual.

00:16:45.725 --> 00:16:49.067
Now, like you know, people always say what's your podcast?

00:16:49.067 --> 00:17:01.981
I go anybody who needs to be heard, but I remember my sponsors are like we want you to be on the video and I was like, hmm, seeing me talk, I was like, okay, well, I'll try it.

00:17:01.981 --> 00:17:03.923
But it's more of a visual too.

00:17:03.923 --> 00:17:31.468
So you know, it's great knowledge to know how and what to look for when there is violence going on, because you know, I can't believe I'm going to admit this, not violence per se, but let's just say somebody was very upset that God gave me a gift to do podcasts and let people be heard.

00:17:31.780 --> 00:17:38.431
At first, going through what I had to go through, I was like, oh my gosh, I was in so much shock.

00:17:38.431 --> 00:17:40.969
How could somebody be so evil to me?

00:17:40.969 --> 00:17:44.346
And here it is, a year later and I was like you know what?

00:17:44.346 --> 00:17:45.483
What happened?

00:17:45.483 --> 00:17:46.381
I'm not over.

00:17:46.381 --> 00:17:48.083
This is not fair.

00:17:48.083 --> 00:17:56.823
Like, how can somebody be that mad that God would actually want you to share the word?

00:17:56.823 --> 00:18:08.145
And it's not only like you and me we are going out there sharing the word, but maybe that person needs to learn how to share the word, you know, and look back at what they were doing.

00:18:08.145 --> 00:18:17.814
So I mean, but you know, helping other people around the world be heard, and it could be stories of being in here.

00:18:18.094 --> 00:18:24.630
I did interview somebody that did talk about gangs and they were scared for their life.

00:18:24.630 --> 00:18:34.965
I mean, they would just be on a walk at night and there's somebody behind the bushes trying to shoot at them and I can only imagine that is very scary stuff.

00:18:34.965 --> 00:18:39.334
And I mean, bringing this movie is going to be great.

00:18:39.334 --> 00:18:41.923
I know I'm going to be watching it a hundred percent.

00:18:41.923 --> 00:18:52.211
So but you know, I kind of want to dive into, because what you said earlier was kind of intriguing to me because I always thought I wanted to go to film school.

00:18:52.211 --> 00:18:54.462
But I feel like a big dork.

00:18:54.462 --> 00:18:56.446
I am a big soap opera fan.

00:18:56.446 --> 00:19:04.148
So I watched Young and the Restless and Bold and the Beautiful and I was out there in 2017.

00:19:04.148 --> 00:19:04.930
It was funny.

00:19:05.230 --> 00:19:14.026
I knew I was staying in Pasadena, but I went to Hollywood, jumped on the tour bus and we drove by where they filmed and I'm like do I just jump off the bus?

00:19:14.026 --> 00:19:14.307
I go.

00:19:14.307 --> 00:19:15.851
I don't even know what hotel I'm staying at.

00:19:15.851 --> 00:19:17.343
How would I ever get back?

00:19:17.343 --> 00:19:23.819
But I always thought I wanted to be an actress in one of the soap operas, to be an actress in one of the soap operas.

00:19:23.819 --> 00:19:32.269
But that process of going to school did you know you were going to do this even before it happened?

00:19:32.269 --> 00:19:35.907
You wanted to look into this Because you did talk about a lot of studying.

00:19:37.020 --> 00:19:38.586
Well, I'm going to be honest with you.

00:19:38.586 --> 00:19:56.615
What you just said about you coming into this podcast and I listen to a lot of Joel Osteen too and I had no idea that I was going to be a film director, writer, producer.

00:19:56.615 --> 00:20:02.811
I had no idea, I didn't even think that I could pull something off like that.

00:20:02.811 --> 00:20:07.820
But God pushes you and says no, you're going to do this.

00:20:07.820 --> 00:20:09.022
Why, God?

00:20:09.022 --> 00:20:11.607
Why You're battling with God, why?

00:20:11.607 --> 00:20:13.171
Why do I have to do this?

00:20:13.171 --> 00:20:15.000
Because it's a mission.

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:16.363
It's a mission.

00:20:16.363 --> 00:20:19.910
He already has the plan laid out for you.

00:20:19.910 --> 00:20:22.940
You just have to continue to walk through it.

00:20:22.940 --> 00:20:29.403
Same thing, Joel said Joel was a nerdy little kid that's very shy and this and that.

00:20:29.403 --> 00:20:44.112
But God you know, his father was taken from him, but he would never been pushed to become a pastor if his father wasn't removed from the situation, if his father wasn't removed from the situation.

00:20:44.112 --> 00:20:46.673
So it's the same thing with you.

00:20:47.854 --> 00:20:53.217
We was doing music and anybody that knows Ice-T music and stuff like that.

00:20:53.217 --> 00:20:55.758
We do hardcore gangster rap music.

00:20:55.758 --> 00:21:03.834
Now God then took these guys out the streets from gangbanging and stuff like that in South Central LA.

00:21:03.834 --> 00:21:12.855
We started off with music and then he pulled me from the music with Ice Nym and put me in a film school.

00:21:12.855 --> 00:21:18.907
But it's the plan, it was already laid out and I'm like, why am I going doing this?

00:21:18.907 --> 00:21:24.162
And then I start thinking you know I was into gang banging and this and that, and I'm from a hood.

00:21:24.162 --> 00:21:30.294
But how in the world am I going to go to these other hoods and tell them what you're telling me?

00:21:30.294 --> 00:21:33.527
Girl, I can't go here, I'm going to get killed.

00:21:33.527 --> 00:21:34.209
No, you're not.

00:21:34.209 --> 00:21:35.462
You're not going to get killed.

00:21:35.462 --> 00:21:38.330
I got you, son, I got you.

00:21:38.330 --> 00:21:43.069
I'm like I can't believe what I pulled off.

00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:48.282
Now let me tell you about these guys that's in the film.

00:21:48.282 --> 00:21:50.186
Now, the guys that you're going to see in this film.

00:21:50.186 --> 00:21:51.750
That's interviewing.

00:21:51.750 --> 00:21:54.034
I went to their territory and interviewed.

00:21:54.034 --> 00:22:03.115
Now, just about most of these guys have did over 40 years in maximum security state penitentiary.

00:22:03.115 --> 00:22:07.290
All of them are for gang bangers.

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:15.423
They each one of the ones I have on this film they killed each other's family members.

00:22:15.423 --> 00:22:20.212
Now I don't, I don't win in these.

00:22:20.212 --> 00:22:22.258
I'm in me.

00:22:22.258 --> 00:22:28.373
I'm going to these territories with a camera and I'm interviewing you and I'm letting you know.

00:22:28.373 --> 00:22:30.377
Yeah, such and such is going to be on this film too.

00:22:30.377 --> 00:22:39.148
That done killed your family members and your loved ones and I'm dealing with this, so they don't know if I'm setting them up or what.

00:22:39.148 --> 00:22:49.657
And I'm talking about all the different nationalities in the Mexican community, in the black community, in the Crips, the Bloods, the Samoans, the Asian community, Career Town.

00:22:50.145 --> 00:22:51.571
I have all these guys on the film.

00:22:51.571 --> 00:22:59.239
Every last one of them did over pretty much over 40 years each for killing, murdering and killing.

00:22:59.239 --> 00:23:02.029
So the way, the way.

00:23:02.029 --> 00:23:03.513
But this is all God.

00:23:03.513 --> 00:23:05.787
It's all God that brought all this together.

00:23:06.087 --> 00:23:12.538
I had he wanted this documentary done and he wanted these guys.

00:23:12.538 --> 00:23:18.935
That's against television and against you, putting they business out there because this is real out here.

00:23:18.935 --> 00:23:20.741
They business out there because this is real out here.

00:23:20.741 --> 00:23:28.815
So I say, okay, God, okay, I'm going, I'm doing exactly what you told me to do Go over here, go over there, go over there.

00:23:28.815 --> 00:23:29.910
And I did it.

00:23:29.910 --> 00:23:40.412
All you know, and the crazy thing is is that now these is killers, All these guys is killers and murderers.

00:23:40.412 --> 00:24:04.480
I'm telling them I want you to go on camera and I want you to talk about peace and putting the guns down and why these kids should put the guns down, because it's for the kids, that conversation behind the camera that I had to deal with and I had to go through with each one of these individuals that I interviewed.

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:18.777
You know, and what people don't see is what was behind when I filmed these guys, Because it's like 30, 40 hardcore gangbangers with guns.

00:24:20.567 --> 00:24:21.791
My eyes are like really big, big.

00:24:21.791 --> 00:24:24.971
I'm picturing it like oh, you're not alone but?

00:24:25.432 --> 00:24:31.969
but just like what you said with the podcast, god sent me there because he knew I could do the job.

00:24:31.969 --> 00:24:36.175
You remember what you just said about me yeah off the box.

00:24:36.958 --> 00:24:38.184
God knew you could.

00:24:38.184 --> 00:24:39.307
You could do the job.

00:24:39.307 --> 00:24:41.489
That's why you you're doing the job.

00:24:41.489 --> 00:24:43.771
God knew yeah.

00:24:43.771 --> 00:24:50.780
So he he giving, he gave you the platform with the podcast.

00:24:51.286 --> 00:24:55.517
Now look at the individual you have on your show right now.

00:24:55.517 --> 00:25:02.910
See, everybody in LA knows who I am, everybody, the hitters.

00:25:02.910 --> 00:25:07.153
They know exactly who I am and it's a big thing.

00:25:07.153 --> 00:25:16.839
Out here we have brought me and my organization have brought the Crips Bloods, mexican Mafia, mexicans and Blacks don't they kill each other out here?

00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:18.221
I mean slaughter.

00:25:18.260 --> 00:25:19.382
People think it's a joke.

00:25:19.382 --> 00:25:44.689
We don't have bushes to hide behind.

00:25:44.689 --> 00:25:49.259
We've got city streets and cars come through and start letting it out, people getting their heads blown off literally.

00:25:49.259 --> 00:26:11.817
And we out here, we in the streets, we doing the work, our teams and everybody that's a part of my team, they out here, these are real community activists and they are really doing unbelievable good things in the community and they have turned the community around and all these individuals need to be applauded Because they do.

00:26:11.817 --> 00:26:18.832
Yeah, you know, but they'll get it in heaven and that's what we talk about all the time, you know.

00:26:18.832 --> 00:26:25.260
But but God can take anybody and put them where he want to put you.

00:26:25.260 --> 00:26:31.144
You just have to allow him to put you there and just men on that.

00:26:31.484 --> 00:26:33.405
You know, I don't think my pastor.

00:26:33.405 --> 00:26:35.886
I've said hi to him a couple of times.

00:26:35.886 --> 00:26:47.012
It's a big church, but when I sit there and I listen and I know if I'm on, like I call it a podcast, like I have to take a break for a minute.

00:26:47.012 --> 00:26:50.574
It's funny because we'll give the sermon.

00:26:50.574 --> 00:26:52.295
It's beautiful, it's wonderful.

00:26:52.295 --> 00:26:56.336
But then I will hear God has put you in a place.

00:26:56.336 --> 00:27:02.000
Also, you're helping people do this and whatever it may be.

00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.441
And I had one lady today.

00:27:04.441 --> 00:27:05.721
She was really sweet.

00:27:05.721 --> 00:27:13.188
She doesn't even know anything about me running a podcast called Keep Hope Alive and she goes have you joined a life group?

00:27:13.188 --> 00:27:16.896
And I looked at her and I go my podcast I have is my life group.

00:27:16.896 --> 00:27:20.454
And I go, it's called Keep Hope Alive.

00:27:20.454 --> 00:27:22.326
I help people around the world.

00:27:22.326 --> 00:27:34.997
It's not that I don't want to join one, but every time I do a podcast it's the most healing thing and just meeting all these people and, yes, having you.

00:27:34.997 --> 00:27:41.041
I had Bob Young, neil Young's brother, on too.

00:27:41.282 --> 00:27:43.704
So there's all different kinds of people.

00:27:43.704 --> 00:27:45.387
We're all the same.

00:27:45.387 --> 00:27:55.634
We have good energy, we have things that happen to us in life, so we learn from it and somebody's story can save another person out there.

00:27:55.634 --> 00:27:57.557
That's how I look at it.

00:27:57.557 --> 00:27:58.365
You know they could be.

00:27:58.365 --> 00:28:01.473
You know I've met some other interesting people.

00:28:01.473 --> 00:28:05.751
I'm just ready to go ahead and say, hey, would you like to come on my show?

00:28:05.751 --> 00:28:07.938
You know there's things I don't know.

00:28:07.938 --> 00:28:11.652
My notes keeps running, like I told you there's bloopers.

00:28:11.652 --> 00:28:20.916
But yeah, you just kind of learn as you go and I'm sure while you're interviewing all these other families, there's always something to learn.

00:28:20.916 --> 00:28:29.433
All right, I got to stop my break really quick because I'm going to make this really quick and it's a good timing because I have all these bracelets on.

00:28:29.433 --> 00:28:34.156
Another one of our sponsors is Snap Bands and it's this black one.

00:28:34.156 --> 00:28:35.510
It says Hope on it.

00:28:35.510 --> 00:28:37.548
Have you ever seen these on Facebook?

00:28:38.590 --> 00:28:38.852
Yes.

00:28:39.773 --> 00:28:42.608
Yes, Okay, so Snap Bands here's my commercial version.

00:28:42.608 --> 00:28:44.796
So we do live in a world.

00:28:44.796 --> 00:28:47.011
You know it's full of anxiety.

00:28:47.011 --> 00:28:52.508
Doesn't matter if it's your job, your health, family relationships we all go through it.

00:28:52.508 --> 00:28:56.554
So these bands were designed.

00:28:56.554 --> 00:29:05.037
They have a mechanism on the back, this little strap thing, and you click it and it goes through.

00:29:05.144 --> 00:29:08.250
I want to tell you I've been wearing mine for almost two years now.

00:29:08.250 --> 00:29:17.497
But it helps re-trigger that thought process and it will help anxiety, depression, whatever it may be.

00:29:17.497 --> 00:29:20.733
I will tell you I probably have medical PTSD.

00:29:20.733 --> 00:29:21.415
I know that.

00:29:21.415 --> 00:29:29.510
But whenever somebody's trying to do a shot in me and I'm like you're going to miss, you're going to miss, I was like give it to God, I'm just praying over them.

00:29:29.510 --> 00:29:32.738
But it helps you and helps me sleep too.

00:29:33.365 --> 00:29:36.894
I was very surprised, but each one of these bracelets have a mantra word.

00:29:36.894 --> 00:29:37.817
It could be peace.

00:29:37.817 --> 00:29:48.920
Faith is brand new, and if you went to Snap Band's website and you wanted the word faith, the code is KHA Keep Hope Alive.

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:50.628
So that is our.

00:29:50.628 --> 00:29:53.376
You get faith with Keep Hope Alive.

00:29:53.376 --> 00:29:58.416
But they have all different colors of the band and everything in the mantra.

00:29:58.416 --> 00:30:08.336
So the thing is, when you are doing this, I have hope in you, I am going to have a peaceful day, I'm going to have faith in the Lord and go from there.

00:30:08.336 --> 00:30:13.315
You know, it's just one of those things, but it helps you re-calm into a better place.

00:30:13.315 --> 00:30:15.530
I want you guys to go visit it out.

00:30:15.530 --> 00:30:28.131
It's great, wwwsnapbandscom, and it's S-N P, P, B, A N D Zcom, so check them out.

00:30:28.131 --> 00:30:37.257
Anyways, I'm going to get back to you because you're very fascinating, Like I could ask you a hundred more questions and I know we have a short time.

00:30:37.257 --> 00:30:39.951
Tell me about the book that you wrote.

00:30:41.194 --> 00:30:45.946
Oh yeah, now the book is called last man Standing.

00:30:45.946 --> 00:30:46.748
It's out there.

00:30:46.748 --> 00:30:55.446
All you have to do is type my name in your Google search and put Terry C Carney Sr.

00:30:55.446 --> 00:30:56.690
Last man Standing.

00:30:56.690 --> 00:30:57.893
It'll pop up.

00:30:57.893 --> 00:31:00.357
You can purchase the book anywhere.

00:31:00.898 --> 00:31:04.626
The book is basically about, uh, my upbringing.

00:31:04.626 --> 00:31:06.089
It's my bio.

00:31:06.089 --> 00:31:16.608
Um, I actually already had have two uh movie, uh offers that they want to turn the book into.

00:31:16.608 --> 00:31:21.356
So, uh, but I think I think you get more out of the book.

00:31:21.356 --> 00:31:27.451
If you read the book, you'll learn a whole lot more about me, you know, and where I came from.

00:31:28.113 --> 00:31:29.694
Uh, what took place in my life?

00:31:29.694 --> 00:31:36.270
Um, there is no foul language I wrote it for, so it could be.

00:31:36.270 --> 00:31:54.849
Um, uh available for the christ audience, because I believe in the Lord, jesus Christ, and I want kids to be able to read the book and say T went through this, this, this, this, and God kept his hand on him and he turned out all right.

00:31:54.849 --> 00:32:18.400
So, whatever you're going through, whatever you're dealing with out there, you know it's never too late to turn your life around and keep believing in God and allow God to lead you in the direction that he has chosen for you, and don't let nobody make you feel like you're worthless or useless, you know, because you're not to God.

00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:24.208
And I'm that kid and when you read this book you'll be like, wow, this dude here.

00:32:24.208 --> 00:32:29.530
You know, because I did a lot of things, you know, but guess what?

00:32:29.530 --> 00:32:31.071
But guess what?

00:32:31.071 --> 00:32:32.853
Yeah, and it went.

00:32:33.073 --> 00:32:35.974
One, while Nadine is crazy, I couldn't even.

00:32:35.974 --> 00:32:54.252
I was like eight years old, I couldn't even go to the neighborhood candy store because they wouldn't allow me to go in because my brothers, they would rob everything and my last name was like like I was one of Jesse James brothers, you know.

00:32:54.252 --> 00:32:57.705
So all the little kids could go in the candy store but I couldn't.

00:32:57.705 --> 00:33:02.613
They said, no, you have to sit out here, you know, and that does something to an eight year old, you know.

00:33:02.613 --> 00:33:04.936
Yeah, it does, yeah.

00:33:04.977 --> 00:33:16.321
So I went through a lot of things, but you know what God cleansed me and I came out all right and what I try not to do.

00:33:16.321 --> 00:33:20.589
I don't want to see other kids go through these type of things.

00:33:20.589 --> 00:33:31.838
And you know, we've got to set up these platforms where we could be able to talk and because when we talk we learn, you know, and we've got to learn how to raise our kids.

00:33:31.838 --> 00:33:35.455
We've got to learn to teach our kids what to look for, what not to look for.

00:33:35.455 --> 00:33:46.434
We got to get back to old family values, morals and love, you know we got to put these cell phones down.

00:33:46.625 --> 00:33:56.498
We got to put these guns down and because most of the kids and family members, they don't even know each other anymore and that's what kills them.

00:33:56.498 --> 00:33:59.726
People go to a restaurant and everybody on their cell phones.

00:33:59.726 --> 00:34:01.945
Exactly, people go to a restaurant and everybody on their cell phones.

00:34:01.945 --> 00:34:11.809
But you know whatever happened to sitting at the dinner table and having a conversation with your family and just asking them hey, how was your day today?

00:34:11.809 --> 00:34:16.972
That don't happen no more in family life 24, 25.

00:34:16.972 --> 00:34:22.054
You know so I think we got to get back to that.

00:34:22.693 --> 00:34:27.856
We do and I'm very observant of that because here it is in 24.

00:34:27.856 --> 00:34:28.655
I'm single.

00:34:28.655 --> 00:34:30.356
I've tried to go on dates.

00:34:30.356 --> 00:34:31.456
I have a podcast.

00:34:31.456 --> 00:34:32.978
I did dating 101.

00:34:33.577 --> 00:34:44.541
The grass is greener on the other side, meaning please do not take your phone out during a date and swipe right and left to see who your next date is, if you don't like that person.

00:34:44.541 --> 00:34:46.822
And then ghosting has been a thing.

00:34:46.822 --> 00:34:48.664
But my son plays football.

00:34:48.664 --> 00:34:53.755
He's really good at football, but I'll sit there and then I will see couples.

00:34:53.755 --> 00:34:58.896
They're sitting apart from each other on the phone, not even talking to each other.

00:34:58.896 --> 00:35:01.211
So you know it's so funny.

00:35:01.304 --> 00:35:04.286
When I date I try to be very honest with everybody.

00:35:04.286 --> 00:35:08.215
This is what I don't want, and if I see it.

00:35:08.215 --> 00:35:10.079
And then all about communication too.

00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:17.699
If you do not communicate, it's hard for me to move forward and learn to trust and everything.

00:35:17.699 --> 00:35:22.297
So you know you have to be punctual, even what you're seeing out there.

00:35:22.297 --> 00:35:26.331
If you're not happy, you've got to make changes in life.

00:35:26.331 --> 00:35:30.431
Right, because we get one life to live, but you've got to be happy doing it.

00:35:30.431 --> 00:35:44.710
And then there's people in the world who go through different tragedies or circumstances that they didn't want, they didn't foresee, but it's learning how to get through that and be stronger and everything.

00:35:44.710 --> 00:36:01.137
So you know it takes a lot out of people, but there was one lady she wrote a gratitude book and I'm going to be putting your book onto our storefront on the website for keephopealivepodcastcom so people can watch this podcast and go buy your book right away.

00:36:01.137 --> 00:36:04.030
I know I am Another quick question.

00:36:04.030 --> 00:36:09.838
Did you do Audible, like where you read it or somebody else is reading your book and you can just listen.

00:36:11.288 --> 00:36:13.675
Yeah, you can pull my book up on Apple.

00:36:13.675 --> 00:36:16.150
Everything, oh no like Audible.

00:36:16.150 --> 00:36:16.793
Yeah.

00:36:16.793 --> 00:36:20.927
Reading I'll fall asleep, but when I listen, I love it, it's Audible, you can.

00:36:20.927 --> 00:36:23.172
I love it, it's audible, you can pull it up.

00:36:24.153 --> 00:36:25.797
Okay yeah, perfect.

00:36:25.797 --> 00:36:27.179
Okay yeah.

00:36:27.179 --> 00:36:41.936
So gratitude there's a gratitude book in my storefront but you fill it out at the dinner table or wherever, and you talk about what you have gratitude and get to know your family, members and stuff.

00:36:41.936 --> 00:36:44.440
Put the phone down.

00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:46.070
It's like what did they say?

00:36:46.070 --> 00:36:52.668
If there's a swear bucket, maybe put a little bucket at the table and everybody turns in their cell phone.

00:36:52.668 --> 00:36:54.994
Focus on each other, love each other.

00:36:54.994 --> 00:36:56.297
You have one family.

00:36:56.297 --> 00:36:57.806
Make the most of it.

00:36:57.806 --> 00:37:00.489
You don't ever want to be in a broken family.

00:37:00.489 --> 00:37:01.590
Nobody does.

00:37:01.590 --> 00:37:05.373
You want to have that love and make sure it's equal throughout.

00:37:05.373 --> 00:37:09.739
So anyway, there's my sermon for the day, right?

00:37:09.759 --> 00:37:11.942
I'm in agreement with you.

00:37:11.942 --> 00:37:17.592
If two or more agree it's done.

00:37:17.692 --> 00:37:20.478
Oh my gosh, this has been so fun, oh my goodness.

00:37:20.478 --> 00:37:29.938
Okay, so I know, with Keep Hope Alive, we just got I think it's number 78 on the website for mental health podcast.

00:37:29.938 --> 00:37:32.141
But you know, 78 is good.

00:37:32.141 --> 00:37:45.563
It's good mental health stories too, but you know, when you're diving into, you know the people who are actually doing the killing and stuff.

00:37:45.563 --> 00:38:01.813
That is a huge mental health issue and I don't, of course, nobody would really agree with that, but I wish people understood what they're going through and why they're doing this shooting.

00:38:01.813 --> 00:38:04.188
Did you dive into that part too?

00:38:06.523 --> 00:38:09.472
Yes, we have therapists on there talking about mental health.

00:38:09.472 --> 00:38:12.869
Oh, we did not miss a beat in this film.

00:38:12.869 --> 00:38:17.268
Yeah, it's very educational.

00:38:17.268 --> 00:38:18.112
That's what I'm saying.

00:38:18.112 --> 00:38:19.534
It's an educational film.

00:38:19.534 --> 00:38:20.282
If you sit down and watch it from beginning to end, you're going to be amazed.

00:38:20.282 --> 00:38:20.621
Oh, I's very educational.

00:38:20.621 --> 00:38:20.878
That's what I'm saying.

00:38:20.878 --> 00:38:21.155
It's an educational film.

00:38:21.155 --> 00:38:24.144
If you sit down and watch it from beginning to end, you're going to be amazed.

00:38:24.164 --> 00:38:24.786
Oh, I'm watching it.

00:38:24.786 --> 00:38:26.925
Yeah, I'm so excited, I can't wait to watch it.

00:38:26.925 --> 00:38:29.788
I was like you need to come to Dallas too.

00:38:29.788 --> 00:38:30.811
I'm coming.

00:38:30.980 --> 00:38:32.621
You think I ain't, I'm coming.

00:38:33.262 --> 00:38:34.003
No, you are.

00:38:34.003 --> 00:38:36.184
You just got to let me know when you get here.

00:38:36.465 --> 00:38:39.427
Exactly, I will Definitely yeah.

00:38:40.208 --> 00:38:43.692
I'm a photographer also, so I can be your photographer for the day.

00:38:43.711 --> 00:38:49.817
See, there we go Right there, I'm with it, I'm coming, but trust me.

00:38:50.822 --> 00:38:52.820
So it said, you were winning some awards.

00:38:52.820 --> 00:38:54.360
Like what awards were?

00:38:54.541 --> 00:38:55.244
actually given.

00:38:55.244 --> 00:39:01.465
Oh my God, I've been winning worldwide awards, which is crazy.

00:39:01.465 --> 00:39:20.512
I think we done won over like 25 awards for this film and, matter of fact, I think we submitted to the Dallas Film Festival, which is coming up soon, soon, yeah, we've been winning Best Documentary.

00:39:20.512 --> 00:39:28.222
I've been winning Best Director, Male Director, Best Director Every time I turn around.

00:39:28.222 --> 00:39:30.331
This is crazy.

00:39:30.331 --> 00:39:36.907
I've been winning all over the place Canada, Berlin, Australia.

00:39:36.907 --> 00:39:45.469
Man, I got so many awards you have to go to my IMDB page and it's probably over 30 of them.

00:39:45.469 --> 00:39:51.445
We're winning so many awards I can't keep track of them for this film.

00:39:51.907 --> 00:39:53.751
Oh hey, that's amazing.

00:39:53.751 --> 00:39:56.525
Yeah, I know, but it's all God.

00:39:56.525 --> 00:39:58.422
This is God.

00:39:58.422 --> 00:39:59.748
Put all this, you know.

00:39:59.748 --> 00:40:01.987
They say T, how did you do this?

00:40:01.987 --> 00:40:02.822
What I said?

00:40:02.822 --> 00:40:04.527
I didn't even want to do this.

00:40:04.527 --> 00:40:07.826
I said I was forced to do it by my father.

00:40:07.826 --> 00:40:15.463
Wow, you know, it's weird how it falls in our hands.

00:40:15.483 --> 00:40:17.905
It's weird how it falls in our hands.

00:40:17.905 --> 00:40:30.695
I was doing a support group for people who were in trouble trying to get away from abusive relationships, but it's one person to say isn't this a podcast?

00:40:30.695 --> 00:40:34.483
And they were in a different state, can't I watch you Now?

00:40:34.483 --> 00:40:37.858
Before podcasts were a thing, I created a company called Wedcast.

00:40:37.858 --> 00:40:38.159
Right thing.

00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:49.447
I created a company called Wedcast and I was interviewing vendors in the Dallas-Fort Worth area like caterers and bridal consultants and bakers and stuff.

00:40:50.021 --> 00:40:53.867
But it was becoming a little too expensive so I had to put it away.

00:40:53.867 --> 00:41:14.733
And then when the World of Podcasts came out, I was like, wow, I get to do this and it's not like $3,000, you know so because hiring the video man to make it into the commercial and getting everybody and getting full lights, it was the whole nine yards, you know, with the podcast world and doing this.

00:41:14.733 --> 00:41:21.032
And you know, I felt like I was born for this even before podcast was actually born.

00:41:21.032 --> 00:41:24.309
But everybody was like, well, what's your niche?

00:41:24.309 --> 00:41:26.708
And I always thought it would be in event planning.

00:41:26.708 --> 00:41:28.423
But then I had my doctors.

00:41:28.423 --> 00:41:30.530
I want to be on your show Lawyers.

00:41:30.530 --> 00:41:34.469
I want to be on People who talk to aliens.

00:41:34.528 --> 00:41:35.090
I did that one.

00:41:35.090 --> 00:41:39.726
She's a top one on the podcast and ghost stories.

00:41:39.726 --> 00:41:43.690
I'll take all the stories, you know, because they're different.

00:41:43.690 --> 00:41:47.992
It's everybody lives in a different place, different time and everything.

00:41:47.992 --> 00:41:52.519
But it's just amazing how God works and puts you in that position.

00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:59.134
So you know, I've opened the doors to a whole new light to see things and how they really are.

00:41:59.134 --> 00:42:03.050
But, like, as I interview you, I'm like okay, what awards?

00:42:03.050 --> 00:42:04.565
What website are we going to?

00:42:04.565 --> 00:42:05.648
What is it?

00:42:05.648 --> 00:42:08.672
You know that everybody wants to hear from you.

00:42:08.672 --> 00:42:11.644
When you're not filming, what are you doing?

00:42:14.103 --> 00:42:14.625
You know what?

00:42:14.625 --> 00:42:17.972
Yeah, to be honest with you, that's what I'm doing.

00:42:17.972 --> 00:42:20.469
I'm in the studio all the time.

00:42:20.469 --> 00:42:22.246
I'm doing interviews.

00:42:22.246 --> 00:42:23.724
Rachel keeps me busy.

00:42:23.724 --> 00:42:25.128
I know she does.

00:42:25.128 --> 00:42:27.447
Yeah, you got this, this, this, this.

00:42:27.447 --> 00:42:30.088
You know I say, okay, Rachel, I'm there.

00:42:30.088 --> 00:42:38.012
Wherever you need me to be, I'm going to be there and I'm going to take a studio break and yeah, I'm seven days a week, I'm just active.

00:42:38.012 --> 00:42:39.056
Yeah, I'm seven days a week.

00:42:39.077 --> 00:42:39.418
I'm just active.

00:42:39.418 --> 00:42:39.619
I love it.

00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:41.541
That's a good thing too.

00:42:41.541 --> 00:42:42.943
I enjoy what I do.

00:42:42.943 --> 00:42:46.010
You know I love talking to people, and that's what I am.

00:42:46.010 --> 00:42:46.650
I'm a talker.

00:42:46.650 --> 00:42:47.853
That's what I tell you.

00:42:47.853 --> 00:42:50.677
Whatever you want to do, let's go, let's go.

00:42:50.677 --> 00:42:51.800
You know I'm with it, yeah.

00:42:52.721 --> 00:43:04.306
Yeah, definitely, because I mean the more we talk and get to know about everybody, and that's a good time.

00:43:04.306 --> 00:43:06.896
I finally started using tiktok and I was just like, oh, it's not gonna get me any new followers, but it actually has.

00:43:06.896 --> 00:43:09.963
But I feel like I can be real on tiktok for some reason.

00:43:09.963 --> 00:43:15.581
Instagram I'm okay at, but and uh, rachel needs a raise, by the way.

00:43:15.681 --> 00:43:18.045
So she got whatever she wants.

00:43:18.045 --> 00:43:23.835
Rachel gets it, you got it, rachel Already.

00:43:24.701 --> 00:43:26.523
Yeah, she doesn't.

00:43:26.523 --> 00:43:30.648
She kind of knows me, but it was so cute because it was.

00:43:30.648 --> 00:43:31.929
I believe it was her.

00:43:31.929 --> 00:43:32.871
She goes.

00:43:32.871 --> 00:43:35.753
We missed the other podcast and I felt really bad.

00:43:35.753 --> 00:43:46.760
I go, we're going to have to reschedule and she goes.

00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:48.402
Oh, I want to make sure you're really coming on and I was like you know what?

00:43:48.402 --> 00:43:49.023
She was a part of my journey.

00:43:49.023 --> 00:43:55.440
She doesn't know that yet, but as I was sitting there and I could hear her voice over and over, make sure you're really there.

00:43:55.440 --> 00:44:00.512
And I was like I just don't want to be that person who does not show up.

00:44:00.512 --> 00:44:18.152
But in the world of podcasts it's almost like 200 emails a day and when you're doing it yourself and you're working a full-time job, you're like hello, and I have a son and we have sports and I'm like oh my I'm going to have a panic attack.

00:44:18.699 --> 00:44:24.552
But I kept saying in November we're going back on for another three to four months, another break.

00:44:24.552 --> 00:44:26.507
That's the only way I can see it.

00:44:26.507 --> 00:44:27.742
So it's just.

00:44:27.742 --> 00:44:33.353
But I'm very, very blessed with the outcome of my supporters for the show too.

00:44:33.353 --> 00:44:36.835
So, but I wanted to thank you for coming on.

00:44:36.835 --> 00:44:37.940
I'm very excited.

00:44:37.940 --> 00:44:40.969
So you said February 2nd, right?

00:44:43.266 --> 00:44:43.688

00:44:43.807 --> 00:44:46.847

00:44:47.730 --> 00:44:48.431
It's all good.

00:44:48.431 --> 00:44:49.885

And you know it's going to be a brighter day, you know.

00:45:49.027 --> 00:46:01.860
Yes, it is, it is, it really is, and it takes that one person to say I'm there for you and, you know, give them the love and support and the light they need.

00:46:01.860 --> 00:46:02.481
To see that, so come out.

I'm just I'm a talker, I know you can see that, but and Rachel is just like my little sister, so she bullies me.

00:47:19.318 --> 00:47:20.780
Everything it's all mental health.

00:47:20.780 --> 00:47:28.842

Sit back, enjoy it, because the work that we do to bring this education and awareness to the world it's making God so happy right now and it makes other people happy.

00:49:05.862 --> 00:49:07.989
And that's what makes me happy to make Him happy.

As long as I can keep the big guy happy, then I'm happy.

00:49:37.385 --> 00:49:45.371
Yeah, Well, everybody when I come to Dallas, we're going to film and we're going to sit down and we're going to watch the film and we're going to do it all.

00:49:46.271 --> 00:49:48.313
You got to teach me how to get on Young and the Restless.

00:49:48.913 --> 00:49:53.237
Oh, that's easy, That'll be easy, that'll be easy.

00:49:53.297 --> 00:49:58.929
I feel like that is so easy, I can help you.

00:49:58.929 --> 00:50:00.940
Oh, my gosh, I love it.

00:50:00.981 --> 00:50:08.583
One thing I learned about every, about work and everything else it's not about what you know, it's about who you know.

00:50:08.905 --> 00:50:10.650
You know you know in there, yeah.

00:50:11.880 --> 00:50:17.945
That's why I keep I keep a great rapport with everybody and I want to know everybody.

00:50:17.945 --> 00:50:21.322
When I go into the room, I want to know who the janitor is into the room, I want to know who the janitor is.

00:50:21.322 --> 00:50:23.405
He's my favorite person, oh yes.

00:50:23.567 --> 00:50:30.650
I used to work for a janitorial company but I was an operations manager and they always thought I was a health inspector coming in.

00:50:30.650 --> 00:50:43.335
I got not no health inspector, but anyways it felt good and just you know when you're looking at the janitors, their jobs are so hard and they always get overlooked.

00:50:43.335 --> 00:50:47.050
I mean even customer service reps get overlooked too.

00:50:47.050 --> 00:50:48.646
I hate to say that, but we do.

00:50:48.646 --> 00:50:57.679
But you know, when somebody stops and takes the time to listen and hear not everybody's after a sale.

00:50:57.960 --> 00:50:59.947
I mean, hey, yeah, is it nice.

00:50:59.947 --> 00:51:05.112
But you know, some of us are really using our heart to get it out there.

00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:08.349
And we're genuine and want to see how they're really doing.

00:51:08.349 --> 00:51:10.407
So that's what counts.

00:51:10.407 --> 00:51:13.686
But all right, well, I want to say thank you.
