All right, guys, here we are on this Friday, our
last break of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's been a fun day, been a good day. Uh huh.
A lot of things going on this weekend and everything.
And Junior, you look just fine. Don't even worry about anything.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Oh last break said, I.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Just looked at me this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I thought I looked just like I always do.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well, why are you saying that?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
What happened last break? What do you?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Uncle?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Steve looked at me and said you gaining weight? Then
Tommy said, my hat getting tight?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That's that's Did that hurt your feelings?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Jr? Not them? No, they say that all the time.
Come on here with no feeling.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You ain't bemotion here. It doesn't mean it didn't hurt
its feelings.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
That's all with.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Its not long, didn't hurt your feelings. I'm I bet
the next one will. That's your gold. Yeah, long, you've
been doing that, Steve.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I got a question for you. Okay, I'm gonna say
two words to you. Miss Blanding. You talked about Miss Blandon.
You know you've talked about her, You've told us about her.
She said something to you when you were growing up,
when you were in school. She was one of your teachers,
right elementary school teacher.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, Well, she told me I won't gonna never be none,
she told me.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, she told me would never and words are powerful
words she heard.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
She told me I wouldn't be on TV because I studied.
M h And ain't nobody gonna sit there and take
all that time waiting on you to say so? Yeah,
And but you know it motivated me. Here's what I
would advise people. Okay, every time and every time you
(01:45):
run into a stomach block or setback or a negative person.
Mm hmm, you don't have to drink the kool aid. Okay,
you know you can take that that you do. You
can take what they tell you and turn it into motivation.
And I've done that many times in my life. Like
(02:06):
you know, if a person tells me I don't believe
you can do that, I'll tell you what you need
to do now is you need to get a chair
and pull it up and watch this, cause now I'm
gonna show you. And I've just learned that in my
life that I take all negatives and used them as
a positive. And it started back then because I told
(02:30):
it to my daddy and my daddy said, how she know?
You know, my father was just simple. He didn't how
she know? She ain't made you boy, you be anything
you wanna be. And then he just walk off, And
I just needed that little dip of encouragement. But you know,
you're gonna have people that's gonna shoot you down the
(02:51):
whole time. I mean, and now we live in a
fallen world where it's everything is it's fadder. Everything is
up for critique. You can put a brand new baby online.
Somebody got something negative to say about a brand new baby.
You can post a picture of your family. Somebody got
(03:13):
something to say about your family. What about the fact
that I'm with my family? I posted a picture one
time we was on vacation where his other kids at
My kids. My youngest child is twenty eight. They got lives.
They don't go everywhere we go. They don't We don't
(03:35):
take them everywhere we go. Everybody don't get invited everywhere
we go. But you can. I don't care what you do.
Somebody gonna have something neggatives say. You ain't gonna make
it show them. I don't think you right for the part,
let me read for it. I don't think they're gonna
(03:55):
pick you. Well, I'm we're gonna go down here and see.
Use all the negative as motivation in your life. Find
yourself a way to get to where you're going. Because
let me tell you something, then they say or may
be just what you need. Sometimes you need opposition because
(04:17):
it strengthens you. You know, people tell me. You know,
it's like a seed. A seed is covered in dirt, right,
But now you can look at this one of two ways.
That seed is either buried under the dirt or it's
planted in the dirt. Those are two different things. Now,
(04:40):
so when people throwing dirt on you, they can think
they burying you all. They won't. Oh I've been a
victim of that so many times. Oh man, old man,
oh man, oh man, oh man. I'm gonna give you
an example of something that happened to me, the Missuniverse debacle.
(05:01):
That hole said the wrong name thing. I've told the
story many times, but that ain't the story, you know.
The thing that really got to me was the number
of people who jumped on the bandwagon. Now, look, I
said the wrong name. I can't I can't. I can't
remove that. But the number of people that I thought
(05:23):
was cool with me who were making going online, just
making statements. Man, I didn't know he was that stupid.
How could he do that? That's never happened before. And
what it did was instead of it allowing me while
they was putting that dirt on me, like I didn't
need to really feel no worse than I did. But
(05:44):
after they started piling all that dirt on me and
they thought they was burying me with it. Oh, man,
do you know I heard statements like his TV career
is over, nobody will hire him after this? How many
times I heard that? But you know the takeaway? You
know the good thing about it. The people I thought
I was cool with, I ain't had to fool with
(06:06):
them no more. I didn't have to put on the
fake smiles no more. I didn't have to act like
we was all right I had to. I didn't have
to pretend to remember them. I got you. Thank you, man,
Thank you. Thank you for showing up and showing me
who you really are. Now I know, and it really
trimmed a lot of fat out my life that day,
That mistake I made trimmed a lot of fat off
(06:28):
my life. It got a lot of people out my
contact list, so sometimes when something negative happens to you,
happens for a reason. You need all that keep ahead up,
keep moving. His most important thing, y'all need to know
that talk to God to.
