Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day. It is our last break of the day
on this what is this Tuesday, ma'am? Just a few
more days till Christmas? Told you told you? Can we
get to Halloween? Ma'am? It's Friday. You were supposed to

(00:23):
really still pass candy? Really tricker treaters? You mean it's
not you. I just don't think it's safe. I mean,
if you have a party or a neighborhood I don't know,
with security or something, I guess, but it's just too
scary nowadays. Don't you think. Are you gonna trick or

(00:43):
treat Steve? I mean, you're gonna pass out candy for
the tricker treaters if they come? You know, I have
to walk the hand and oh yeah, that's right. Yeah,
Like I'm happy to see you. Who you you do? Hey, y'all, listen,

(01:11):
I got let me do some close remarks because I
want I want to remind people of something. Listen to me.
Be authentically. You just be authentically. You be who you are.
You know you are. Okay, you don't have to go

(01:34):
along with the crowd. I don't know if you've noticed,
but a lot of times the crowd going the wrong way.
I don't know if you've noticed, but the crowd usually
has some members in it that are not conducive to
your lifestyle, your future, or your well being. So why

(01:59):
go along with it? I stopped following the crowd years ago.
Be authentically you now listen to me. When being authentically
you at least you can maintain that. When you're trying
to be something you're really not, it's hard to maintain that.

(02:20):
It gets exhausting. I have watched people do it who
are not authentically themselves, and they struggle and then after
a while they just look fake. I've spent a lot
of my time just trying to be authentically who God

(02:42):
created me to be. Now, I want you to understand something.
And when you make that decision to be authentically, you
don't expect everybody to like you. See that's the problem. See,
that's why a lot of people want to go along
with the crowd, because if you're in the crowd, you
think a lot of people like you because you going
along with them. The problem is the crowd is made

(03:04):
up of people who are just that way too, going
along with something just so they can be like. So,
now you end up with a bunch of unauthentic people
surrounding you, which is not gonna be good for you
in the first place. It's not gonna be good for you.
So just be authentically you and understand that once you

(03:25):
make the choice to be yourself, everybody not gonna like you.
But can I share something with you? Everybody not gonna
like you. I don't care what you do. They just
not And so man, you might as well be yourself

(03:46):
because when you act like somebody else, somebody ain't gonna
like that. Have you ever noticed online you scrolling through
your feed and all that youm. I don't care what
somebody posts. Family can post. We were just blessed with
the new born, healthy baby. If you go to the comments,

(04:07):
somebody got some negative to say about that. If you
put a testimony of how good God has been to
you put it online and read them comments, somebody got
some negative to say about that. I don't care what
you do. You can give some money to a worthy

(04:30):
cause if you read them comments. That's all you can give.
Why don't you do it yourself? It was something funny online.
They was showing the golf swing of lebron James Kevin Harden,
Justin Bieber and somebody else showing a golf swing. Dude

(04:50):
in the comments says, I do not understand how rich
dudes have some of the worst golfs I've ever seen,
when all they got to do is take their money
and hire Tom Haney and get some golf lessons, butch
harmon and become a good golfer. You know, I was

(05:14):
sitting there looking at him and I said, Wow, my man,
do you realize that to become either one of them
you're talking about, it takes a great amount of your time.
If you want to be a good golfer, it's going
to take a lot of your time. If you want
to be well off, to be able to afford any

(05:35):
type of coach you want, If you want to be
well off, that's gonna take a lot of time. So
when you look up in you and you see celebrities
that ain't got good golf swings, you know why because
they donna spend a lot of time trying to be
well off. That's why, bro, you can't just it don't

(05:57):
work that way. I don't care what you do do.
Somebody got something to say about it. You don't understand
how well all people don't have great gossways well brou
because it takes a lot of time to be either
one of them, That's why. But you ain't either one
of them. So now here you are comments, y'all. Your
best thing you could do for yourself is be authentically.

(06:18):
You don't do like I do. Don't read the comments
because every now and then my stupid behind reads the comments.
Don't read the comments. Be authentically. You talk to God today,
He would absolutely love to get you. You're authentic. God,
