I'm Chicago all day long. Don't make me do no
drive down your and hey, y'all, what do you call it?
After a thing? Be lady, happy, be later Thanksgiving? It
is black Friday. I just have a problem with that.
You know why? Why is black Friday? You know, whenever
things go right, they wanted to be white, and whenever
shit go bad, they wanted to be black. Like I
(01:46):
was just there there on my chopping ice. You know,
I was in Indianapolis. It's freezing and ice got my
car covered up, so I took on him. I had
a rental car and on the back seat they had
a thing where you can It's got a on one
end and you can brush the snow off a scraper
because you on the other end's got a stick of
(02:07):
the rings blade. Right, So I couldn't get the ice
off with the brush. And some white dude gonna walk
by and say, oh, you can't get that ice off.
That's black ice, the fucked up ice, the ice that
you got the chop off the damn glass. That's fucking by.
That's the black ice. But everything else just just snow.
But they always been like that, straight up from the
(02:28):
beginning of time. Okay, if you get married, or everybody's
wearing white, you're going to going to the funeral. Everybody
wining black. The good guy in the Western he's got
a white horse, a white hat, a white outfit. The
bad guy went all black in the black outfit. But
as soon as they want your money, black Friday, kiss
my head. Hey, everybody, welcome to Michael talks to everybody.
(02:49):
Is the day after Thanksgiving? Y'all no eyes? A married man. Now,
I'm so happy. I can't stand myself as well. Most
grateful for is that? And so we want to tackle
the top today of gratitude. Man, we all have something,
hopefully to be thankful for. So let's talk about gratitude.
How important it is. I always speak of the importance
(03:09):
of walking with an attitude of gratitude. I think that you're
grateful for things you have, you get to get more things,
and I think you're not grateful for the things you have.
Those things tend to go away. Vance Williams is actually
a licensed clinical psychiatrist I think, are you what is
your title?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I'm actually a therapist. I'm a clinical therapist.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Clinical therapist. Okay, have you ad a chance to analyze yourself?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Actually, I do it every day. Every day.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I analyze myself working out well. I'm learning a lot
about myself. I'm learning a lot about other people. How
I react to other people, and.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
How tell me one thing. Tell me one thing you
just learned about yourself. Don't lie.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
One thing I've learned about myself is to be honest
with myself. And I've learned that sometimes I can be selfish,
I can be petty, and I can be jealous with me.
But to supersede that, I have an attitude. I have
an attitude of gratitude.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Okay, we're getting a little balance in the community. Cousin
deren Thanksgiving, man, we just passed Thanksgiving. What is the
thing that you're most grateful for right now?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I'm most grateful.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
You know a lot of people think certain things for granted,
and I'm grateful.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
You want to know the truth, for the use of
my limbs, for still having my hands.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
I know that it sounds crazy, but yesterday at Thanksgiving dinner,
my uncle is an make up but he's also an
ampute that he lost his hands and man, he was
trying to throw up through loosening and all he could
do is to put his hand next to his lead.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So I'm you're hilarious. You just need oh my god,
oh my god.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
He threw up another man and he fought.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I just gratitude is very important, straight and black. What
is one thing this Thanksgiving week in that you're proud of,
that you're happy about, that you're grateful for.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Well, first of all, I'm grateful that I know what
gratitude means because as.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
Adults, you know, black people, we thought words around not
just black people sorry sorry people period, but black people.
You know now that we read books and we can
look up stuff, and we think that we can use
words and know what they mean. And so I'm grateful.
(05:27):
I'm just grateful that I'm in another space. I'm grateful
for you, Michael. I'm grateful for you that now that
I've been working with you, my pussy level has went
up tremendously.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Lame mass niggas.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
I'm not fucking hundred nurs thousands, Michael. So I am
just I got so much to be thankful for it.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
You know, like and let me let me jump in
the let me jump in there. You have cut me
out of the sweet things of fucking Australia because I'm
only one hundred air, So thank you walking Mike.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Shit, if you're a cute enough hundred air, I think
she'll break down. I'm damn what she said.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I think she might.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Well maybe if you're almost a thousand air. Oh my god.
You're grateful to then for that, you know. I'm grateful
for my baby. I'm grateful for my sweetheart. I'm grateful
that having Sonya gives me another opportunity at life. It
just feels like a whole new breath, whole new world
for me. Everything is so beautiful. I'm so grateful. But
(06:33):
I'm really grateful that we have these shows where we
can reach out to each other and talk and talk
about our ideals and what things move us and what
things are important to us and what things aren't, and
we can laugh. I am so grateful for laughter. I'm
so grateful for humor, man. Yeah, because if you can
laugh through a thing, you can get through a thing.
And if you can't laugh through a thing, well you
(06:54):
ain't you going through some real pain?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Right? Now brother loves to stamputed.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
Know absolutely, Hey Michael, I don't know if I should
share with vanced.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I know that's your best friend.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
But right now, if I can get a couple of
more doctors, you know, Vance you don't know me, but
the world does just a little bit. But if I
can get a couple of more doctors and some comedians,
and we can go to the government and pattern this,
you know, laugh therapy. I'm trying this serious because I
already think that they got one foot on us, So
(07:27):
we got to get one footback on them by having
the comedians be laugh because it's good for the immune
Laughter is good, right, It's good for the immune system.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
It makes you look good.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
So you want to you want to patent laughter.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Laugh therapy, Yes, I want to be.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Laughter listen.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So every time somebody laugh, you get a residential.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Well to a certain extent.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
So like sometimes you know, you can have a broken heart,
and you could have been with a woman or a man,
a spouse for so long and and then you go
you got a broken heart, and then you know you
can go to the doctor and was like Doc Manhoyt
is just so broke. It's so broken I'm so sad,
and then the doctor can say, man, listen, I'm gonna
send you to this laugh therapies. You're gonna make you
(08:13):
feel good forget all about it. And the government can
pay for that. Man, it's surance day already, scamming us.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Why not let me say, Carla Collins, I'm grateful for
Carla Collins. Carla Collins is white comedian, She's funny as hell.
She be on my show six times, and she does
laugh therapy. You come in and she's got you getting
a therapist's chair, You relax, and then she does comedy
and then she steps away and you just meditate and
(08:43):
go through the through laugh therapy. That's interesting. It's like
a real thing, you know.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I do.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I do laugh therapy as well, do you, Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Sir, because I know you and me and you laugh
a lot. But if anybodybody knows you, they think you
don't laugh at all, the way you sitting there like
you're waiting on a number four bus without infer Well.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
I do laugh therapy myself. I think comedians we laugh
to keep from crime. What if Smokey Robinson got a
song called Tears of a Clown and really, man, here
like I might say all the time, if you can
laugh through a thing, you can get through a thing.
So austraight, you're right, therapy should include laughter. But I
hate to go to the damn comedy club, and I
wasn't there because I can help you.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Therefore, somebody should book me.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Just hant hand hant. So I think that gratitude is
very important because it acknowledges. It's us acknowledging that someone
gave us something, you know, uh, And so it's the
opposite of arrogance, you know. So the Buddha says, be grateful, coach,
you have a lot. If you don't have a lot,
(09:50):
at least you got a little. Even if you don't
have a little, at least you you're not sick. At
least even if you are sick, at least you ain't dead.
So be grateful. All stars with gratitude. And I think
most people who you know who follow spiritual law will
all tell you the best way to get to your
higher source is to be grateful for everything you have
right now, you know, no matter what it is, because
(10:12):
it could be worse. My father, you say that all
the time, and you say smile. Things could get worse.
I smile and show enough shit got worse.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
So I'm just saying, well, so being thankful, you know
the word the definition of the quality of being thankful,
So you know, being grateful, gratitude is just being thankful.
So I know I'm thankful the position I'm in Black Friday,
I usually would have been stealing, just coming home having
(10:40):
a whole bunch of items Black Friday. So I am thankful,
but I don't still no more.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I'm just I am.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
Listen, the white man couldn't even give me, so I was.
I was pretty good. He couldn't even.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
So yeah, but that was me.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
But you know what, call you. One thing I wanted
to piggyback on that you said as far as gratitude
and that and that you got something that someone gave you,
you know, and I and I want to just make
just add to that is that we oftentimes need to
be grateful because we recognize and understand that the things
that we have, if we really do the analyzation on ourselves,
we recognize we have so much that we don't deserve.
(11:24):
We haven't deserved anything, we haven't earned anything. You know
what I'm saying, which just just just by the grace
of God, because we are because God loves us all,
and because he wants us to have. It's just a
matter of us reaching out and getting what it is
that He has for us, as long as we believe
and know that it's there for us. So therefore knowing
that we don't deserve anything other than the fact that
we are always given a gift of breath, of life,
(11:46):
of sleep, of beautiful women. You know, laugh, it's all
the gift. Everything is a gift. I just took that
was a gift.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
That was a gift. That breath was a gift. That
was a gift. So so the question I have for you, Vince,
what thing are you on? What thing are you most
grateful for? Though? Right now? What thing has happened to
you or has nothing happened? Or is it all of life?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Can you narrow it down to the thing you will
be most grateful for?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Sure?
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Sure? Last month and I told him I turned sixty
five years old. Now I know you're looking at it
on that young Yeah, well, well they basically on the
fact that you said I went to high school with
you kind of dated me there. But I think what
happens is is that I've always been a big dude
all my life. I've always been a big dude.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
And as a matter of fact, I would go so
far as to.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Say big a fat guy.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
And you know, people have told me I didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Even say that. I did not say that. I don't
y'all to know I didn't say that. I keep getting
accused of fas shame, and I ain't even fashioned go
ahead that do.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
What the I'm making.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Is is that I was always told that if I
if I didn't lose the weight, that I wasn't gonna
live long. Now sixty five is a nice nice.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
But there, come on, you meat the odds excuse me.
I grew up with you. Okay, so say that bullshit
for someplace that you guys your ben dead or listen.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
And that's what I Do you realize? Do you realize
I've never had a cavity? Do you realize that I
don't have diabetes? Do you realize I'm six ft two,
I weigh four hundred and fifty pounds, and I'm healthy
as a horse, well some side on, but I'm heal.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
What's your draw size? Come on, what's your draw size?
Don't think about what you tell us.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Are you?
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Are you inquiring to buy me a Christmas brothers? Motherfucker,
I don't want to draw as again this year.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I'm going to see I'm gonna see t Bowl the
tent Maker, and I'm gonna get you something nice. But
what say it out loud before you get subconscious? What's
your draw size?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Six eggs?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Is there such a thing as a sixth?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Why would you ask?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
What's a six asks?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
What do you want?
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Like a number?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
What do you want? What do you want to hear?
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Something like fifty four?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Or I don't know at four hundred pounds, I don't
know if you use the numbers or letters or what
the way how they're going about designating.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
The four hundred pounds. Just recognize that acknowledge that I
wear draws.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Mo fucket.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That's what I want to know. Where the fuck they
get them draws from? Okay, one of the things I'm
grateful for is having you as a friend for over
fifty years. Hey, y'all, we gotta take a quick break.
We got to take a pause for the cause we're
gonna sell somebody something. I can tell you that right now.
Michael talks to everybody today. One of my best friends,
Vince Williams dropped in. My favorite nephew cousin Derek is
(14:36):
here and the fabulous, beautiful stray of Blackstrail. Black is funny.
We'll be right back in a pair of seconds. Do
something with yourself.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
I'll be back.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And we're black Whoa. I don't know what they sold,
but I hope they sold a lot of it, because
I I could use a raise. I'm your boy, Michael
Kay and Michael talked to everybody. I'm so excited.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
A few weeks ago, I had a chance to interview
Chuck d I mean, it's just some of the best people,
some of the greatest folks have been on this show.
And I'm just I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for
what I think is perfect health. But I'm really grateful
for my wife. My wife is everything. I love her
with all my heart. Sonya. My whole life changed because
of it. So I love being grateful. I love knowing
(15:28):
that there's things to be grateful for. In fact, I
challenge you every morning to get up and just write
three things you're grateful for before you start your day
and see if it doesn't affect your day that you're
walking around with the knowledge that you have something to
be grateful for. What are you not grateful for, Cousin Derek,
what is something you wish to hell you didn't.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Have to put up with ungrateful last people. Now you
want to know the truth, man, let me tell you something.
I'm so I'm so blessed and this is not as
good as truth you made me told this, seal colover,
because I'm rolling right now. I'm blessed nice, and I'm
gonna tell you. I know that I'm Ellison, you know usual.
I try to throw my little joky joke in there.
(16:09):
But man, I'm blessed because I had a father who
taught me how to be grateful. During the holidays we
were growing up, man, my dad would we would have
left over food and we didn't think anything of it.
We would pack up that food before it ever got
to the leftovers, and we would go down by this
funeral home and there was a bunch of drunk men
down there and we would see the wino's.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
We would when I was growing up, they were called winos.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
We fed the wino's and we and he showed us
how to be grateful for the things we had. I
remember once growing up, I asked my father while we
got all these chickens and ducks and our yard, and
my daddy said, if you ever been hungry? And I
was like no, He said, well, don't ask me anything else.
He grateful for what you have because you could not have.
(16:55):
And so a lot of people don't realize how much
they have until they realized how much somebody else don't have.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
You know, right, that's like, that's like the thing said.
I was like, what does it say?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I was upsex.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
I had no shoes until I met Amanda that no feet.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
And it's a comedian named David who says he was
feeling that way. He felt like, hey man, I'm complaining
because I don't have new shoes. He said. I saw
a guy with no feet, and I thought, damn, he
probably got a pair of shoes. He don't need. Not
(17:31):
my joke.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
They don't need.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
The other guy named David something damn it. I can't
think of the last name. He's always at the comedy store.
I'm just making clear that I'm not stealing that joke
that somebody else is shit. You know what I'm saying.
Let's say we're borrowing. So ingratitude for Thanksgiving. I mean,
I mean Thanksgiving means Christmas is coming. You know what
I'm saying. I'm grateful for Christmas. Christmas my favorite holiday.
(17:55):
I dig me some Christmas because I think it's the
one time of year when people calm and fuck down.
It's just a little bit nicer, do each other, just
a little bit more considered. Plus I get a lot
of free ship, so i'd be loving some Christmas. I'd
be loving some Christmas. So I'm grateful for that. You know,
vance you are you married now or this just is
(18:15):
this your girlfriend, wife or girlfriend?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
We are not legally married in the sight of the law,
but we are married as far as our relationship with
each other we have. We have pronounced ourselves each other's
man and each other's wife a husband.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
I mean, if it's been over five years, by coming, wow,
y'all married.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
So it depends on what state. That depends on what state.
It's ten years here together, my last relationship at nine
and a half years now.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
But here's what's interesting. She was I was with her
in between my two I've been I've been divorced twice
and she was in between by two wives.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
And I went back to her slow down. How did
that work out? She was in between wives.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Literally right after after my first divorced, she and I
got together and then we didn't get buried. I met
someone else and married that person. And now that I'm
divorced the second time.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
So you married the second lady while you're still with
the lady that was waiting in the middle.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
No, our relationship had broke up, but it broke up,
so I guess you could say, maybe maybe maybe I
was seeing them both at the same time and I
ended up burying.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
But but but I'm grateful.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
I see how bringing his back. I'm grateful that God
brought me back to my soul.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
May to your soul mate. Good for you.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Sometimes you got to go a long way out the
way to come back a short way. Correctly, that's from
the Zoos story about Albert.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No, it's not Albert Albe the Zoo story. What it
is Edward Albi, You're right, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
What were you sayings is good with the words. That's
how you got that woman back. It's good the words.
Then when you took on the block, that woman had
a hand wait on vance to let her back here
for a long time.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Vance. What were you saying?
Speaker 6 (20:07):
And once you go a dance, you don't you want
another chance?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Oh man, oh my god, this might be our corniest
show so far.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
No, No, I don't think I've been holding on that sin.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
You've been holding that in your that's in your poetry book.
Were you saying? Stray?
Speaker 8 (20:25):
I'm most grateful for my family, my son, especially my
son has definitely changed me into a different woman. I'm
grateful for I just had a birthday November nineteenth, so
I'm grateful for that.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well made it another year.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
I'm grateful that I'm able to have a great sound mind, great.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Health, you know, things like that.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
You know, you know, working with you, Michael, I feel
like a patient sometimes because I'm getting all those different
doctors and all this different.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Do not listen to doctor, You're gonna be fucked up demands.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
And I would imagine the sound mind would be something
that would be a strong requirement.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Hey, that's my boss you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
That's right, I get, I get my balloon. It's boss day.
See that big old man there.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I knew I m do him when he was a puppy.
He's an old you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I'm grateful for my shows, for both of the shows.
I'm grateful for the Morning Show because the Morning Show
gives us a chance to meet a great, a great
cross section of people and get all types of talent.
We've already put on over six hundred comedians, over three
hundred vocalists, over two hundred poets, and we've gotten in
seven hundred and three prayers. So I like that connection.
(21:48):
But I love this show called this show reaches a
larger amount of people, and it reaches larger celebrities. With this,
I could bring up already brought on Yolanda Adams, Eric
quay t I, He'll harper, you know, like I said,
just did Chuck d So this gives me a chance
to meet a different crowd of people. Plus I can
say what I want to say on these shows. Now
the Morning Show family, when you do no custom, but
(22:10):
on this show, I call all you motherfuckers, motherfuckers, So
you can say whatever you want to say, however you
want to say it on this show. So that have
two shows that I can invite people to depend on
what type of dance I want to do with them.
I think that's a double blessing and I'm very grateful.
Turn your turn advance tell me nothing.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
You know. It's like, man, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
I don't need to turn this into something serious, but
you know, to thank for your friendship.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Man.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
You know, I've been doing you a long time and
in a lot of ways. You know, I think that
I'm a much better person as a result of your
presidence in my life.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
To the last.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Oh damn you say to get that out of you,
but here it is, go a yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
You know, I think in some ways, you know, I've
learned from you what to do, what not to do.
You know, a lot of my gifts of gap I
attribute to the conversations with you.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know, way too much when I met you in
high school. So that's bullshit. You was already talking when
we met you.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Success, a lot of successes I've had in the process.
After praying, the next thing I did was like, what
would call you?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You should have said that before you pray. Damn it,
I'm just joking. No, sorry, Jesus, that was a joke. Jesus, Jesus. No,
I'm playing with him, So don't play with Jesus. Wait
a minute, I tell you all about the time that
this truck driver gave Jesus a ride in this eighteen wheeler. Now,
you never you never know. I know Vands, I told Vans.
(23:37):
So this truck drivers driver, he had an eighteen wheeler.
He's driving down the street and he saw this hippie
dude stay standing alongside of the road. Now he did
not know there was Jesus Christ. He just thought some
hippi dude. You know, dude got long hair, got a
rode made out of a blanket. He got a rope
for bill. You know, this truck driver has seen homeless
(23:58):
people before, so he was the shock. He look at it.
Dude the ride. So Jesus get in and give him
a ride. While they're riding, the truck driver off of
Jesus cheeseberg, he said, O catch the cheese berg. You know,
I didn't even know Jesus in the cheezberg, he said,
And look I got I got an extra co cola?
Would you like one? And Jesus, yeah, got me that
co cola. So they get through eating and truck driver say, hey,
(24:19):
pop up in that glove compartment. So Jesus pop up
with the glove compartment. It's a it's a big old
blunt there with a lighter right. So truck driver said,
don't fight that up. Jesus like, no, no, I'm good.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
The truck drivers like, man gonna fight a thing up. Well,
you know, Jesus Christ, he don't want to be inhospitable right,
So he filed the blunt right, take a big old hit.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Hold it.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
He blows it out, and he turns to the truck driver.
He said, you know I should tell you I'm Jesus Christ.
Truck driver said, good ship, huh to y'all. Ship. Okay, anyway,
y'all we got we got about five minutes before we
(25:04):
wrap this up. Ignore that that pig, Ignore this chicken.
Chicken ain't got nothing to do with it. Because about gratitude,
the chicken is grateful. He's not in a salad. I
am grateful to be here hanging out with y'all. And
we could wrap us up by telling people how y'all

recently was when I surrendered to God, and I dare
not ever touch my microphone what I'm telling people how
good God is to me through Christ Jesus. When I
surrendered to God, I began to receive all the things,
(28:12):
the blessings that were locked up from me because I surrendered,
and I said, I would tell you how great he is. Therefore,
after I have told you how grady is. Now that's
just my job that I'm gonna let God do the rest.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Come on. I love that thing very much, think that
very much.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
I just sold an apartment for fifteen million dollars to
somebody from China. Or leaders are stupid, or politicians or stupid.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I'm grateful for this ink pen. This is a Donald
Trump ink pin that this white lady gave me in
Beverly Hills when he was running. When he was first running,
I said, I'm a hold on this thing because it's
gonna be a soupernir one day. Winning this thing is
gonna be worth something one day. And I am so
(29:25):
grateful for this white man right here, that white man
right now. His name is dan Enright. Dan in Right
created fifty four game shows, Tic Tac told Jokers Wild
twenty one. He had a company called bury in Right Production.
He was my godfather, and I just know that he's
so proud of me right now. And I look at
his face every morning and I say thank you, thank you,
(29:46):
thank you. Vance Williams. It's sir, I saved the very
best to last young man.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Well, you know what, I did want to take it
back off of what had been said as far as
just being grateful to God and recognize that yesterday being
thanksg and you know, just so many prayers went up
around the table and everybody was.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Talking about gratitude. Yes.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
So that's why you know, this was a good rehearsal
yesterday for today's topic, because we talked about what we
were grateful for. And I just want to say, I'm
glad that that I'm covered with prayer from all the
prayers that I received yesterday. And hear my man Derek
talk about how God has changed his life. Man, I
just hope that in this new year, as we go
into twenty twenty four, that we all recognize that that
(30:26):
our in being having an attitude of gratitude, that we
recognize that God is the source of our gratitude or
who we are gratitude to whom were gratitude, but to
whom we have gratitude. Somewhere somewhere that makes sense somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:25):

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I'm Chicago all day long. Don't make me do no
drive down your and hey, y'all, what do you call it?
After a thing? Be lady, happy, be later Thanksgiving? It
is black Friday. I just have a problem with that.
You know why? Why is black Friday? You know, whenever
things go right, they wanted to be white, and whenever
shit go bad, they wanted to be black. Like I
(01:46):
was just there there on my chopping ice. You know,
I was in Indianapolis. It's freezing and ice got my
car covered up, so I took on him. I had
a rental car and on the back seat they had
a thing where you can It's got a on one
end and you can brush the snow off a scraper
because you on the other end's got a stick of
(02:07):
the rings blade. Right, So I couldn't get the ice
off with the brush. And some white dude gonna walk
by and say, oh, you can't get that ice off.
That's black ice, the fucked up ice, the ice that
you got the chop off the damn glass. That's fucking by.
That's the black ice. But everything else just just snow.
But they always been like that, straight up from the
(02:28):
beginning of time. Okay, if you get married, or everybody's
wearing white, you're going to going to the funeral. Everybody
wining black. The good guy in the Western he's got
a white horse, a white hat, a white outfit. The
bad guy went all black in the black outfit. But
as soon as they want your money, black Friday, kiss
my head. Hey, everybody, welcome to Michael talks to everybody.
(02:49):
Is the day after Thanksgiving? Y'all no eyes? A married man. Now,
I'm so happy. I can't stand myself as well. Most
grateful for is that? And so we want to tackle
the top today of gratitude. Man, we all have something,
hopefully to be thankful for. So let's talk about gratitude.
How important it is. I always speak of the importance
(03:09):
of walking with an attitude of gratitude. I think that you're
grateful for things you have, you get to get more things,
and I think you're not grateful for the things you have.
Those things tend to go away. Vance Williams is actually
a licensed clinical psychiatrist I think, are you what is
your title?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I'm actually a therapist. I'm a clinical therapist.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Clinical therapist. Okay, have you ad a chance to analyze yourself?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Actually, I do it every day. Every day.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I analyze myself working out well. I'm learning a lot
about myself. I'm learning a lot about other people. How
I react to other people, and.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
How tell me one thing. Tell me one thing you
just learned about yourself. Don't lie.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
One thing I've learned about myself is to be honest
with myself. And I've learned that sometimes I can be selfish,
I can be petty, and I can be jealous with me.
But to supersede that, I have an attitude. I have
an attitude of gratitude.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Okay, we're getting a little balance in the community. Cousin
deren Thanksgiving, man, we just passed Thanksgiving. What is the
thing that you're most grateful for right now?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I'm most grateful.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
You know a lot of people think certain things for granted,
and I'm grateful.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
You want to know the truth, for the use of
my limbs, for still having my hands.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
I know that it sounds crazy, but yesterday at Thanksgiving dinner,
my uncle is an make up but he's also an
ampute that he lost his hands and man, he was
trying to throw up through loosening and all he could
do is to put his hand next to his lead.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So I'm you're hilarious. You just need oh my god,
oh my god.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
He threw up another man and he fought.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I just gratitude is very important, straight and black. What
is one thing this Thanksgiving week in that you're proud of,
that you're happy about, that you're grateful for.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Well, first of all, I'm grateful that I know what
gratitude means because as.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
Adults, you know, black people, we thought words around not
just black people sorry sorry people period, but black people.
You know now that we read books and we can
look up stuff, and we think that we can use
words and know what they mean. And so I'm grateful.
(05:27):
I'm just grateful that I'm in another space. I'm grateful
for you, Michael. I'm grateful for you that now that
I've been working with you, my pussy level has went
up tremendously.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Lame mass niggas.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
I'm not fucking hundred nurs thousands, Michael. So I am
just I got so much to be thankful for it.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
You know, like and let me let me jump in
the let me jump in there. You have cut me
out of the sweet things of fucking Australia because I'm
only one hundred air, So thank you walking Mike.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Shit, if you're a cute enough hundred air, I think
she'll break down. I'm damn what she said.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
I think she might.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Well maybe if you're almost a thousand air. Oh my god.
You're grateful to then for that, you know. I'm grateful
for my baby. I'm grateful for my sweetheart. I'm grateful
that having Sonya gives me another opportunity at life. It
just feels like a whole new breath, whole new world
for me. Everything is so beautiful. I'm so grateful. But
(06:33):
I'm really grateful that we have these shows where we
can reach out to each other and talk and talk
about our ideals and what things move us and what
things are important to us and what things aren't, and
we can laugh. I am so grateful for laughter. I'm
so grateful for humor, man. Yeah, because if you can
laugh through a thing, you can get through a thing.
And if you can't laugh through a thing, well you
(06:54):
ain't you going through some real pain?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Right? Now brother loves to stamputed.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
Know absolutely, Hey Michael, I don't know if I should
share with vanced.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I know that's your best friend.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
But right now, if I can get a couple of
more doctors, you know, Vance you don't know me, but
the world does just a little bit. But if I
can get a couple of more doctors and some comedians,
and we can go to the government and pattern this,
you know, laugh therapy. I'm trying this serious because I
already think that they got one foot on us, So
(07:27):
we got to get one footback on them by having
the comedians be laugh because it's good for the immune
Laughter is good, right, It's good for the immune system.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
It makes you look good.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
So you want to you want to patent laughter.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Laugh therapy, Yes, I want to be.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Laughter listen.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
So every time somebody laugh, you get a residential.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Well to a certain extent.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
So like sometimes you know, you can have a broken heart,
and you could have been with a woman or a man,
a spouse for so long and and then you go
you got a broken heart, and then you know you
can go to the doctor and was like Doc Manhoyt
is just so broke. It's so broken I'm so sad,
and then the doctor can say, man, listen, I'm gonna
send you to this laugh therapies. You're gonna make you
(08:13):
feel good forget all about it. And the government can
pay for that. Man, it's surance day already, scamming us.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Why not let me say, Carla Collins, I'm grateful for
Carla Collins. Carla Collins is white comedian, She's funny as hell.
She be on my show six times, and she does
laugh therapy. You come in and she's got you getting
a therapist's chair, You relax, and then she does comedy
and then she steps away and you just meditate and
(08:43):
go through the through laugh therapy. That's interesting. It's like
a real thing, you know.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I do.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I do laugh therapy as well, do you, Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Sir, because I know you and me and you laugh
a lot. But if anybodybody knows you, they think you
don't laugh at all, the way you sitting there like
you're waiting on a number four bus without infer Well.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
I do laugh therapy myself. I think comedians we laugh
to keep from crime. What if Smokey Robinson got a
song called Tears of a Clown and really, man, here
like I might say all the time, if you can
laugh through a thing, you can get through a thing.
So austraight, you're right, therapy should include laughter. But I
hate to go to the damn comedy club, and I
wasn't there because I can help you.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Therefore, somebody should book me.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Just hant hand hant. So I think that gratitude is
very important because it acknowledges. It's us acknowledging that someone
gave us something, you know, uh, And so it's the
opposite of arrogance, you know. So the Buddha says, be grateful, coach,
you have a lot. If you don't have a lot,
(09:50):
at least you got a little. Even if you don't
have a little, at least you you're not sick. At
least even if you are sick, at least you ain't dead.
So be grateful. All stars with gratitude. And I think
most people who you know who follow spiritual law will
all tell you the best way to get to your
higher source is to be grateful for everything you have
right now, you know, no matter what it is, because
(10:12):
it could be worse. My father, you say that all
the time, and you say smile. Things could get worse.
I smile and show enough shit got worse.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
So I'm just saying, well, so being thankful, you know
the word the definition of the quality of being thankful,
So you know, being grateful, gratitude is just being thankful.
So I know I'm thankful the position I'm in Black Friday,
I usually would have been stealing, just coming home having
(10:40):
a whole bunch of items Black Friday. So I am thankful,
but I don't still no more.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I'm just I am.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
Listen, the white man couldn't even give me, so I was.
I was pretty good. He couldn't even.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
So yeah, but that was me.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
But you know what, call you. One thing I wanted
to piggyback on that you said as far as gratitude
and that and that you got something that someone gave you,
you know, and I and I want to just make
just add to that is that we oftentimes need to
be grateful because we recognize and understand that the things
that we have, if we really do the analyzation on ourselves,
we recognize we have so much that we don't deserve.
(11:24):
We haven't deserved anything, we haven't earned anything. You know
what I'm saying, which just just just by the grace
of God, because we are because God loves us all,
and because he wants us to have. It's just a
matter of us reaching out and getting what it is
that He has for us, as long as we believe
and know that it's there for us. So therefore knowing
that we don't deserve anything other than the fact that
we are always given a gift of breath, of life,
(11:46):
of sleep, of beautiful women. You know, laugh, it's all
the gift. Everything is a gift. I just took that
was a gift.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
That was a gift. That breath was a gift. That
was a gift. So so the question I have for you, Vince,
what thing are you on? What thing are you most
grateful for? Though? Right now? What thing has happened to
you or has nothing happened? Or is it all of life?
Speaker 5 (12:14):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Can you narrow it down to the thing you will
be most grateful for?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Sure?
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Sure? Last month and I told him I turned sixty
five years old. Now I know you're looking at it
on that young Yeah, well, well they basically on the
fact that you said I went to high school with
you kind of dated me there. But I think what
happens is is that I've always been a big dude
all my life. I've always been a big dude.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
And as a matter of fact, I would go so
far as to.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Say big a fat guy.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
And you know, people have told me I didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Even say that. I did not say that. I don't
y'all to know I didn't say that. I keep getting
accused of fas shame, and I ain't even fashioned go
ahead that do.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
What the I'm making.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Is is that I was always told that if I
if I didn't lose the weight, that I wasn't gonna
live long. Now sixty five is a nice nice.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
But there, come on, you meat the odds excuse me.
I grew up with you. Okay, so say that bullshit
for someplace that you guys your ben dead or listen.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
And that's what I Do you realize? Do you realize
I've never had a cavity? Do you realize that I
don't have diabetes? Do you realize I'm six ft two,
I weigh four hundred and fifty pounds, and I'm healthy
as a horse, well some side on, but I'm heal.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
What's your draw size? Come on, what's your draw size?
Don't think about what you tell us.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Are you?
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Are you inquiring to buy me a Christmas brothers? Motherfucker,

Speaker 5 (14:10):
Mo fucket.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That's what I want to know. Where the fuck they
get them draws from? Okay, one of the things I'm
grateful for is having you as a friend for over
fifty years. Hey, y'all, we gotta take a quick break.
We got to take a pause for the cause we're
gonna sell somebody something. I can tell you that right now.
Michael talks to everybody today. One of my best friends,
Vince Williams dropped in. My favorite nephew cousin Derek is
(14:36):
here and the fabulous, beautiful stray of Blackstrail. Black is funny.
We'll be right back in a pair of seconds. Do
something with yourself.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
I'll be back.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And we're black Whoa. I don't know what they sold,
but I hope they sold a lot of it, because
I I could use a raise. I'm your boy, Michael
Kay and Michael talked to everybody. I'm so excited.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
A few weeks ago, I had a chance to interview
Chuck d I mean, it's just some of the best people,
some of the greatest folks have been on this show.
And I'm just I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for
what I think is perfect health. But I'm really grateful
for my wife. My wife is everything. I love her
with all my heart. Sonya. My whole life changed because
of it. So I love being grateful. I love knowing
(15:28):
that there's things to be grateful for. In fact, I
challenge you every morning to get up and just write
three things you're grateful for before you start your day
and see if it doesn't affect your day that you're
walking around with the knowledge that you have something to
be grateful for. What are you not grateful for, Cousin Derek,
what is something you wish to hell you didn't.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Have to put up with ungrateful last people. Now you
want to know the truth, man, let me tell you something.
I'm so I'm so blessed and this is not as
good as truth you made me told this, seal colover,
because I'm rolling right now. I'm blessed nice, and I'm
gonna tell you. I know that I'm Ellison, you know usual.
I try to throw my little joky joke in there.
(16:09):
But man, I'm blessed because I had a father who
taught me how to be grateful. During the holidays we
were growing up, man, my dad would we would have
left over food and we didn't think anything of it.
We would pack up that food before it ever got
to the leftovers, and we would go down by this
funeral home and there was a bunch of drunk men
down there and we would see the wino's.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
We would when I was growing up, they were called winos.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
We fed the wino's and we and he showed us
how to be grateful for the things we had. I
remember once growing up, I asked my father while we
got all these chickens and ducks and our yard, and
my daddy said, if you ever been hungry? And I
was like no, He said, well, don't ask me anything else.
He grateful for what you have because you could not have.
(16:55):
And so a lot of people don't realize how much
they have until they realized how much somebody else don't have.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
You know, right, that's like, that's like the thing said.
I was like, what does it say?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I was upsex.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
I had no shoes until I met Amanda that no feet.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
And it's a comedian named David who says he was
feeling that way. He felt like, hey man, I'm complaining
because I don't have new shoes. He said. I saw
a guy with no feet, and I thought, damn, he
probably got a pair of shoes. He don't need. Not
(17:31):
my joke.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
They don't need.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
The other guy named David something damn it. I can't
think of the last name. He's always at the comedy store.
I'm just making clear that I'm not stealing that joke
that somebody else is shit. You know what I'm saying.
Let's say we're borrowing. So ingratitude for Thanksgiving. I mean,
I mean Thanksgiving means Christmas is coming. You know what
I'm saying. I'm grateful for Christmas. Christmas my favorite holiday.
(17:55):
I dig me some Christmas because I think it's the
one time of year when people calm and fuck down.
It's just a little bit nicer, do each other, just
a little bit more considered. Plus I get a lot
of free ship, so i'd be loving some Christmas. I'd
be loving some Christmas. So I'm grateful for that. You know,
vance you are you married now or this just is
(18:15):
this your girlfriend, wife or girlfriend?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
We are not legally married in the sight of the law,
but we are married as far as our relationship with
each other we have. We have pronounced ourselves each other's
man and each other's wife a husband.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
I mean, if it's been over five years, by coming, wow,
y'all married.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
So it depends on what state. That depends on what state.
It's ten years here together, my last relationship at nine
and a half years now.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
But here's what's interesting. She was I was with her
in between my two I've been I've been divorced twice
and she was in between by two wives.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
And I went back to her slow down. How did
that work out? She was in between wives.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Literally right after after my first divorced, she and I
got together and then we didn't get buried. I met
someone else and married that person. And now that I'm
divorced the second time.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
So you married the second lady while you're still with
the lady that was waiting in the middle.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
No, our relationship had broke up, but it broke up,
so I guess you could say, maybe maybe maybe I
was seeing them both at the same time and I
ended up burying.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
But but but I'm grateful.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
I see how bringing his back. I'm grateful that God
brought me back to my soul.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
May to your soul mate. Good for you.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Sometimes you got to go a long way out the
way to come back a short way. Correctly, that's from
the Zoos story about Albert.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No, it's not Albert Albe the Zoo story. What it
is Edward Albi, You're right, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
What were you sayings is good with the words. That's
how you got that woman back. It's good the words.
Then when you took on the block, that woman had
a hand wait on vance to let her back here
for a long time.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Vance. What were you saying?
Speaker 6 (20:07):
And once you go a dance, you don't you want
another chance?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Oh man, oh my god, this might be our corniest
show so far.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
No, No, I don't think I've been holding on that sin.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
You've been holding that in your that's in your poetry book.
Were you saying? Stray?
Speaker 8 (20:25):
I'm most grateful for my family, my son, especially my
son has definitely changed me into a different woman. I'm
grateful for I just had a birthday November nineteenth, so
I'm grateful for that.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well made it another year.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
I'm grateful that I'm able to have a great sound mind, great.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Health, you know, things like that.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
You know, you know, working with you, Michael, I feel
like a patient sometimes because I'm getting all those different
doctors and all this different.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Do not listen to doctor, You're gonna be fucked up demands.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
And I would imagine the sound mind would be something
that would be a strong requirement.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Hey, that's my boss you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
That's right, I get, I get my balloon. It's boss day.
See that big old man there.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I knew I m do him when he was a puppy.
He's an old you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I'm grateful for my shows, for both of the shows.
I'm grateful for the Morning Show because the Morning Show
gives us a chance to meet a great, a great
cross section of people and get all types of talent.
We've already put on over six hundred comedians, over three
hundred vocalists, over two hundred poets, and we've gotten in
seven hundred and three prayers. So I like that connection.
(21:48):
But I love this show called this show reaches a
larger amount of people, and it reaches larger celebrities. With this,
I could bring up already brought on Yolanda Adams, Eric
quay t I, He'll harper, you know, like I said,
just did Chuck d So this gives me a chance
to meet a different crowd of people. Plus I can
say what I want to say on these shows. Now
the Morning Show family, when you do no custom, but
(22:10):
on this show, I call all you motherfuckers, motherfuckers, So
you can say whatever you want to say, however you
want to say it on this show. So that have
two shows that I can invite people to depend on
what type of dance I want to do with them.
I think that's a double blessing and I'm very grateful.
Turn your turn advance tell me nothing.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
You know. It's like, man, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
I don't need to turn this into something serious, but
you know, to thank for your friendship.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Man.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
You know, I've been doing you a long time and
in a lot of ways. You know, I think that
I'm a much better person as a result of your
presidence in my life.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
To the last.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Oh damn you say to get that out of you,
but here it is, go a yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
You know, I think in some ways, you know, I've
learned from you what to do, what not to do.
You know, a lot of my gifts of gap I
attribute to the conversations with you.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know, way too much when I met you in
high school. So that's bullshit. You was already talking when
we met you.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Success, a lot of successes I've had in the process.
After praying, the next thing I did was like, what
would call you?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You should have said that before you pray. Damn it,
I'm just joking. No, sorry, Jesus, that was a joke. Jesus, Jesus. No,
I'm playing with him, So don't play with Jesus. Wait
a minute, I tell you all about the time that
this truck driver gave Jesus a ride in this eighteen wheeler. Now,
you never you never know. I know Vands, I told Vans.
(23:37):
So this truck drivers driver, he had an eighteen wheeler.
He's driving down the street and he saw this hippie
dude stay standing alongside of the road. Now he did
not know there was Jesus Christ. He just thought some
hippi dude. You know, dude got long hair, got a
rode made out of a blanket. He got a rope
for bill. You know, this truck driver has seen homeless
(23:58):
people before, so he was the shock. He look at it.
Dude the ride. So Jesus get in and give him
a ride. While they're riding, the truck driver off of
Jesus cheeseberg, he said, O catch the cheese berg. You know,
I didn't even know Jesus in the cheezberg, he said,
And look I got I got an extra co cola?
Would you like one? And Jesus, yeah, got me that
co cola. So they get through eating and truck driver say, hey,
(24:19):
pop up in that glove compartment. So Jesus pop up
with the glove compartment. It's a it's a big old
blunt there with a lighter right. So truck driver said,
don't fight that up. Jesus like, no, no, I'm good.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
The truck drivers like, man gonna fight a thing up. Well,
you know, Jesus Christ, he don't want to be inhospitable right,
So he filed the blunt right, take a big old hit.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Hold it.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
He blows it out, and he turns to the truck driver.
He said, you know I should tell you I'm Jesus Christ.
Truck driver said, good ship, huh to y'all. Ship. Okay, anyway,
y'all we got we got about five minutes before we
(25:04):
wrap this up. Ignore that that pig, Ignore this chicken.
Chicken ain't got nothing to do with it. Because about gratitude,
the chicken is grateful. He's not in a salad. I
am grateful to be here hanging out with y'all. And

recently was when I surrendered to God, and I dare
not ever touch my microphone what I'm telling people how
good God is to me through Christ Jesus. When I
surrendered to God, I began to receive all the things,
(28:12):
the blessings that were locked up from me because I surrendered,
and I said, I would tell you how great he is. Therefore,
after I have told you how grady is. Now that's
just my job that I'm gonna let God do the rest.

somebody from China. Or leaders are stupid, or politicians or stupid.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I'm grateful for this ink pen. This is a Donald
Trump ink pin that this white lady gave me in
Beverly Hills when he was running. When he was first running,
I said, I'm a hold on this thing because it's
gonna be a soupernir one day. Winning this thing is
gonna be worth something one day. And I am so
(29:25):
grateful for this white man right here, that white man
right now. His name is dan Enright. Dan in Right

around the table and everybody was.

yesterday for today's topic, because we talked about what we
were grateful for. And I just want to say, I'm
glad that that I'm covered with prayer from all the
prayers that I received yesterday. And hear my man Derek
talk about how God has changed his life. Man, I
just hope that in this new year, as we go
into twenty twenty four, that we all recognize that that
(30:26):
our in being having an attitude of gratitude, that we
recognize that God is the source of our gratitude or
who we are gratitude to whom were gratitude, but to
whom we have gratitude. Somewhere somewhere that makes sense somewhere.
