Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yeah, you got a good team, no doubt I do.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I do so.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
First and foremost, I want to absolutely say thank you
to the city of Memphis for embracing me wholeheartedly and Handley,
because sometimes it isn't easy coming to a brand new city.
So first and foremost, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Because Hanley is truly blessed and we have so many
(05:29):
people and companies who support so that is first and foremost.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Secondly, I want to.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Give a major, major shout out to Orange Mound, to
Orange Mound thank you, thank you, Thank you to our families,
to our elected officials who make a difference each and
every single day, and our and our Orange Mound leaders,
(05:57):
and again our families, thank you, thank you, thank you.
So the story of Hanley has been absolutely incredible. And
before I kind of get into that, let me tell
you a little bit about my life. When I was
a teenager, I was a troubled team. And when I
(06:19):
say troubled, I mean troubled. I fought every single day.
I was angry.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I was kicked out.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Of schools so much so, yes, yes, I fought every day.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I stole cars so much so to where I just
sentenced me to a group home twelve to twenty four
months to a group home.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
So I was.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Handcuffed, I was placed in a van, and I was
taken away. So it was in this very very moment
that I truly felt as.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
If I didn't have anyone.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Who actually cared about me from school, and I just
felt absolutely lost. And so while I was there, I
got to the bottom of why. And then I got
out of other group home, and by then I was
in high school and the assistant of principal and then
(07:23):
one of the teachers loved on me. And when I
say that, they sold positive seeds each and every single day.
And so I say that because that has actually helped
me through this whole journey, because again I hated school.
There wasn't anything there for me that I felt that
(07:46):
would actually help me to be great. So when I
got to Hanley, I said, I wanted to make sure
that this is a great school, that this is an
opportunity for every and go student to walk in this
door and to be great and to feel that they
(08:06):
are great each and every single day. And so the
Orange Mount whole community came and we cleaned out that school.
We were there seven days a week cleaning out the
school because again it was a charter school. And so
we got it all cleaned out, and then we actually
(08:28):
focused on remarketing and rebranding. Ruby Payne, Carolyn Crawford, Britney Thorton.
I mean, everybody came, everybody has been there since day one,
red Zone. So I want to give them a huge
(08:48):
shout out Second Presbyterian Church. And so we redesigned from
the colors to the logo.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Right, how do we want Hanley to look? Look? And
let's paint and let's get it all cleaned out.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Now let's build this awesome, awesome school. And so for
a year and a half that has been my number
one goal is redesigning. And so every time that every
single student comes in that they feel like, wow, I
go to school here. This is an awesome school. I
(09:25):
love it. And so from the time that all of
that that they enter, it's hugs, kisses love. We have
also been featured on the on the news multiple times.
And then next is this concept of opportunities from golfing,
(09:47):
getting our scholars acclimated to so many opportunities. And then
next is academics, right, putting that number one as well,
so making us sure that every single scholar can read
write that they feel like they are the.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Smart Oh you know, I would say this, but you
know what, you got a story, a couple of things. Uh,
who the thunk have you shared this with your students
by your your not a whole early beginnings or what
about the parents?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
They know now?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But of course, uh, but you didn't come in with I've.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Been there, done that, we got the tea shirt, y'all
on your own.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Because I was brand new and so I just walked
in like I have to be a part.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Of the change.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Right, we are in this thing together.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Orange Mound, come on through, this is our school, Memphis,
come on through, this is our school.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well you know what you you you really bring truth
to power. And then and and to the cliche, you
can't judge a book by its cover.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Who the thunt? You've been through all of that? Who
the thunk?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Every day?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You you what they told me to stop saying you
a bad kid?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
But but but really you were.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I was, I was, I was going to be a gang.
I mean I had that opportunity, and so thank god
that I went to a group home because that changed
my whole talk a little bit.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
More about that. You're really you really?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Uh you hold I say, you represent what they used
to say. You you you see my glory. But you
don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
You don't know my story. You don't you don't know
my story?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Wow, you do not know? The one is such a
good principal. I mean, they ain't got none on you,

talk to a principal, one who has and I said,
like this, who grew up with devious behavior patterns?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Yeah, yeah, very and but now look at.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Sh right, right.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
There's nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
About a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be
a butterfly.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
That's right, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, And here you are, yep, you're sailing, you're flying,
you know, and now you've taken this school too. I
will say another level with the culture climate. Still work
that attitude. It's a work in progress, right, you're still working,
(14:33):
and you got some big shoes to feel. Of course,
when you mentioned Ruby Payne.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yes, So when I first drove down and I looked
up at the street sign and I saw her name,
and I said, where is this person whose name is
on the streets And I said, get her on the
phone now, because we are going to be side by side,
(15:02):
because she is the queen. And I pay homage and
all respect to the Ruby Payne and Carolyn Crawford because
it was the both of them, and so there is
no way that I would have actually started without them
(15:23):
because they are the queens. And so we have worked
hard to make sure that we make them proud each
and every single day between our colors. That is actually
back to when they were the principals.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Of the Green and Gold.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Yes and uh the gold, and so we are yes.
And again this pays homage to the prior right because
again it is all because of them. It is all
because of them. And then secondly are the staff. There
(16:08):
is absolutely no way that I would be able or
would have been able to transform an entire school with
without an incredible staff. So so thank you, thank you,
thank you to the Hanley staff. And I'm clapping for you.
I am clapping for you, because I want to say
(16:31):

Speaker 9 (20:13):
Yes, twist twelve yeah, man, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Saying?
Speaker 10 (20:17):
All right?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (20:19):
Miss done Glover?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Good morning, good morning, and how are you?
Speaker 7 (20:23):
And happy Friday?
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Okay, I'm doing fans, Happy Friday to you. I think
if I'm if I'm not mistaken, I think I spoke
to you once before on Bill Johnson Show.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I think that is that correct? Did you come up
before show? No?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Matter of fact, we have Miss Glover about a year
and a half ago, this show.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Okay with your show.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
Okay, yeah, I remember.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
First of all, I want to applaud you.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Thanks for sharing your story with us. Thanks for sharing
your story. Uh.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
I know that you said you was a trouble child.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
You thought every day you was just about uh.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
To step into a game, things of that nature. And
to share that to me is like free in yourself.
I think that sometime we have those kind of experiences
and then for you to end up in the position
that you're in, it allows you to help children stay
on the right path because you walk down.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Those paths before yourself.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
I think it influenced you to want to do that
and want to help those children. Also, whoever it was,
I want to ask you, wasn't it a reason if
you can remember, what prompt you to, you know, act
out the way that you did. Was it something at
home you felt like? Was it an absence?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
So it was home and then school, and so I
just kind of felt like when I went to school
that I couldn't actually connect with anyone there and that
there was really nothing for me when I went there
and at home too, Yes, and so it was a
(22:00):
combination of both and in my time, schools were hey,
you fought that's it, bye, you are suspended, and that
was just that cycle, right, one hundred eighty one hundred
eighty A three to five or ten a three five ten,
by out, get out right, And so I was.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I was definitely isolated.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
And so when I finally got out, that was when
it was this whole concept of why are you acting
out this way, and let's fix it. So it was
a nurturing type of school, but prior it was very
(22:47):
hay byeh get out.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
Okay, let me say this, and closing, let me say
this and closing. We learned from my experiences, and I'm
really proud of you because I can tell that you
made a major turnaround and now you take what you
learned in the past and help up the children with it.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
I'm gonna believe in you. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Thank you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Right, no matter what a person's past may have been, thoughts,
future prayers, it's spotless. Back to the phone line. I

Speaker 4 (35:17):
But thank you for brother brother stand.
Speaker 13 (35:20):
Thank you for two weeks of shining a bright light
on the positivity of NSCs.
Speaker 10 (35:26):
The show last week was banging, and this show is.
Speaker 13 (35:30):
Banging, and I want to thank Principal Glover.
Speaker 10 (35:35):
Who I looked up her first day and it said, it's.
Speaker 13 (35:38):
Our banion for boys. You've been a voice for our
babies and believing in our baby.
Speaker 9 (35:42):
Thank you man.
Speaker 10 (35:44):
You're welcome. You're welcome. It's inspiring to hear your testimony.
I appreciate that. Oddly enough, it's a great segue of
what Dan mentioned about the sister who's going the Trump administration.
Speaker 13 (35:58):
I made a call at receive an email from one
of my limits to hey day with some semstones of
what we closed, and it was.
Speaker 10 (36:09):
It was it was from the examples of some longs
that they're doing.
Speaker 13 (36:13):
For folks who are in the trucking business, and they
are not doing background checks. So what you've done in
the past, you know, criminal back trial, you return citizens
will end you the money long as you got the
down payment, and hopefully you can live a productive's life
going forward.
Speaker 10 (36:32):
I think that as the village brother stand and Sister Glover.
Speaker 13 (36:37):
What we don't understand is the investment of what some
people in this country are having of making sure that
they've got a good supply of folks going in the
criminal justice system, the criminal justice complex, that it should.
Speaker 10 (36:51):
Be real profitable when you stand and remain profitible. And
if your.
Speaker 13 (36:55):
Baby can't read, if you can't hear or she cannot read,
all they're doing is setting them up or to be
a ward of the state and damage the community in
the process. So we have to we have to support
good principles like this as a village to make sure
our babies can read and they can do whatever they
(37:17):
want to do in this world, whatever their imagination and
hard work will take them.
Speaker 10 (37:22):
We do not want to continue to supply the criminal
justice compact with our beautiful babies. So thank you again.
Speaker 13 (37:29):
You've inspired me this morning, and get out my rusty
Dusty and get the work.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
You're more than welcome and have a great friday you too.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
All right, last break, Prisonal Glover.
Speaker 2 (37:47):

think you're mantro over the Handley Elementary academics plus real
world experiences equals success. Let's talk about then we'll come back.
Hart and told the Memphis Am ten seventy w D

Speaker 4 (38:35):
You know what I'm saying, Shoot you we camp out?
Shoot what else you're working on?
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Storing?
Speaker 7 (38:42):
Well for those of you that are listening and that
you know y'all been y'all been trying to check out
staying y'all checked out the last first off, if you
missed the polls.
Speaker 11 (38:51):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (38:52):
Last week, stan Bell was my special guest.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (38:55):
Now it's Black History Month and I've been doing black history.
Rarely do we do the people inside of the building
because there's black history being made here, okay, and people
probably don't talk about it or don't even know. But
stan Bell is the only radio jock in Memphis that
has had a shift and I'm talking at an air
(39:15):
shift where he was working every day of the week
on four of our top black radio stations in the market,
only one to do it. So he was not a
fly jock.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
He was like a room to room job. Ye didn't.
I was on there.
Speaker 11 (39:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (39:35):
So for those of you that missed the podcast last week,
go to my w di i a dot com. Scroll
down to the bottom of the page. You'll see the
Pulse podcast and Stand is the last his podcast that
we did together. Is the last one now last night.
O God, it's so good.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
We stayed up here.
Speaker 7 (39:56):
Last night and and and we recorded it because it
plays back on all the stations right that he's been
on every last one of them, okay, that he's had
a shift on Okay, and we thought we lost the files.
So I was scratching my head. I was like, oh Lord,
please don't, please, don't make us have to do this again.
And God saw fit to come through. Thanks to Mike Evans,
(40:17):
he helped to restore it. It's all back. You sound amazing.
And I'm gonna tell you this show, y'all. If y'all
think the last show that I did with Stand last
week was good, this one is even better. This man
is walking history and I think people in Memphis should
(40:41):
know it. And people in Memphis don't know what everything
that he's done, because probably most people don't listen to
all of the stations. But he is walking black History.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Give me a box of tissue, Jermaine, stop teasing, but
it's true to stop teasing, tissue Global, Stop teasing.
Speaker 7 (41:07):
Four successful shows on four radio stations in this market.
Four of the top radio stations in this market stand bill.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Serving you.
Speaker 7 (41:23):
About all right, you bless me, you bless me, and
you're gonna bless this series.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
So since you hadn't got a mic crack, so when can.
Speaker 7 (41:31):
I hear it this Sunday on all stations? Okay, tomorrow morning.
Miss Linda would know this because she listens.
Speaker 4 (41:37):
To pretty much all of them.
Speaker 7 (41:40):
She catches the show The Pulse on the weekend on
pretty much all the stations. But first off, Hallelujah FM

and then V one on one is one on one
point one FM. All of these are fms, and the
and and then the Big Dog he's on Sunday on
the Big on the Big Dog and seven w D
I A at three p m before the legendary right
(42:29):
Mark Stansbury.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
So you get them all, you got all these post
all of this like these.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
Yeah, I need to do that and the time I
need to do that today.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
That is important because we need to honor you because
you honor air everyone else.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yeah, and has been for years. Need to get your flower.
Speaker 7 (42:49):
And you know the good part about this is, I
know y'all listen to him every day and you think
you know all of the story. But the good part
of part one and part two is that you get
to hear the story that he doesn't really talk about, right, right,
it's so hard and people need people this because that
(43:16):
is what So your story isn't for you, right, your
story is for others to say, wow, well then Stan
bel can have something like this going on or had
something like this, Well, then this means that I can
actually be great.
Speaker 3 (43:37):
I guess I can achieve. And so your story isn't
for you.
Speaker 7 (43:43):
That's what a lot And it's the impact that and
you know that Stan has had and he never talks about,
which is you know.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Something that a lot of people don't know.
Speaker 7 (43:57):
The impact that he has had on this industry is
phenomenal because Dan has affected people that he doesn't even know.
He's mentored people in this industry that he doesn't even
know that he's mentored.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (44:13):
And serving as an advocate for Memphis, right, like highlighting
positivity for years.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
What's that song that for you?
Speaker 7 (44:27):
There's a song where the guy says, people ask me
how I do it right?
Speaker 10 (44:30):
Right?
Speaker 3 (44:31):
We have a change the right, but but we changed there.
He's been doing it.
Speaker 7 (44:38):
And I know y'all are probably let me get off
the stand soapbox, but it is real. And if we
don't celebrate each other and if we don't give each
other flowers, who's going to do it? That's right.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
I don't know this stuff on Friday. Well, you know,
I'm passionate about that.
Speaker 7 (44:58):
That the work I especially with the Pulse, I'm very
passionate about that letting people know what's happening in this city.

the ones that are not here, that are that you
know used to be here, the ones that are here
that are still uh carving a path for young people
and and still in the community stand stand is in
(45:20):

is in this community.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
He is affecting lives every day.
Speaker 7 (45:27):
He's doing stuff and he don't talk about and that
he's doing for people. Him and his wife and his
children are amazing. I know y'all hear him talk about him,
but y'all ain't heard the stories about those kids, and
and we didn't get to talk about him on the pulse,
but you will hear it one day you're here.

because sometimes it isn't easy coming to a brand new city.
So first and foremost, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Because Hanley is truly blessed and we have so many
(05:29):
people and companies who support so that is first and foremost.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Secondly, I want to.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Give a major, major shout out to Orange Mound, to
Orange Mound thank you, thank you, Thank you to our families,
to our elected officials who make a difference each and
every single day, and our and our Orange Mound leaders,
(05:57):
and again our families, thank you, thank you, thank you.
So the story of Hanley has been absolutely incredible. And
before I kind of get into that, let me tell
you a little bit about my life. When I was
a teenager, I was a troubled team. And when I
(06:19):
say troubled, I mean troubled. I fought every single day.
I was angry.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I was kicked out.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Of schools so much so, yes, yes, I fought every day.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I stole cars so much so to where I just
sentenced me to a group home twelve to twenty four
months to a group home.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
So I was.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Handcuffed, I was placed in a van, and I was
taken away. So it was in this very very moment
that I truly felt as.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
If I didn't have anyone.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Who actually cared about me from school, and I just
felt absolutely lost. And so while I was there, I
got to the bottom of why. And then I got
out of other group home, and by then I was
in high school and the assistant of principal and then
(07:23):
one of the teachers loved on me. And when I
say that, they sold positive seeds each and every single day.
And so I say that because that has actually helped
me through this whole journey, because again I hated school.
There wasn't anything there for me that I felt that
(07:46):
would actually help me to be great. So when I
got to Hanley, I said, I wanted to make sure
that this is a great school, that this is an
opportunity for every and go student to walk in this
door and to be great and to feel that they
(08:06):
are great each and every single day. And so the
Orange Mount whole community came and we cleaned out that school.
We were there seven days a week cleaning out the
school because again it was a charter school. And so
we got it all cleaned out, and then we actually
(08:28):
focused on remarketing and rebranding. Ruby Payne, Carolyn Crawford, Britney Thorton.
I mean, everybody came, everybody has been there since day one,
red Zone. So I want to give them a huge
(08:48):
shout out Second Presbyterian Church. And so we redesigned from
the colors to the logo.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Right, how do we want Hanley to look? Look? And
let's paint and let's get it all cleaned out.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Now let's build this awesome, awesome school. And so for
a year and a half that has been my number
one goal is redesigning. And so every time that every
single student comes in that they feel like, wow, I
go to school here. This is an awesome school. I
(09:25):
love it. And so from the time that all of
that that they enter, it's hugs, kisses love. We have
also been featured on the on the news multiple times.
And then next is this concept of opportunities from golfing,
(09:47):
getting our scholars acclimated to so many opportunities. And then
next is academics, right, putting that number one as well,
so making us sure that every single scholar can read
write that they feel like they are the.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Smart Oh you know, I would say this, but you
know what, you got a story, a couple of things. Uh,
who the thunk have you shared this with your students
by your your not a whole early beginnings or what
about the parents?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
They know now?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But of course, uh, but you didn't come in with I've.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Been there, done that, we got the tea shirt, y'all
on your own.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Because I was brand new and so I just walked
in like I have to be a part.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Of the change.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Right, we are in this thing together.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Orange Mound, come on through, this is our school, Memphis,
come on through, this is our school.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well you know what you you you really bring truth
to power. And then and and to the cliche, you
can't judge a book by its cover.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Who the thunt? You've been through all of that? Who
the thunk?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Every day?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You you what they told me to stop saying you
a bad kid?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
But but but really you were.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I was, I was, I was going to be a gang.
I mean I had that opportunity, and so thank god
that I went to a group home because that changed
my whole talk a little bit.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
More about that. You're really you really?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Uh you hold I say, you represent what they used
to say. You you you see my glory. But you
don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
You don't know my story. You don't you don't know
my story?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Wow, you do not know? The one is such a
good principal. I mean, they ain't got none on you,

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, And here you are, yep, you're sailing, you're flying,
you know, and now you've taken this school too. I
will say another level with the culture climate. Still work
that attitude. It's a work in progress, right, you're still working,
(14:33):
and you got some big shoes to feel. Of course,
when you mentioned Ruby Payne.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yes, So when I first drove down and I looked
up at the street sign and I saw her name,
and I said, where is this person whose name is
on the streets And I said, get her on the
phone now, because we are going to be side by side,
(15:02):
because she is the queen. And I pay homage and
all respect to the Ruby Payne and Carolyn Crawford because
it was the both of them, and so there is
no way that I would have actually started without them
(15:23):
because they are the queens. And so we have worked
hard to make sure that we make them proud each
and every single day between our colors. That is actually
back to when they were the principals.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Of the Green and Gold.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Yes and uh the gold, and so we are yes.
And again this pays homage to the prior right because
again it is all because of them. It is all
because of them. And then secondly are the staff. There
(16:08):
is absolutely no way that I would be able or
would have been able to transform an entire school with
without an incredible staff. So so thank you, thank you,
thank you to the Hanley staff. And I'm clapping for you.

Speaker 6 (20:16):

Speaker 10 (20:17):
All right?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (20:19):
Miss done Glover?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Good morning, good morning, and how are you?
Speaker 7 (20:23):
And happy Friday?
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Okay, I'm doing fans, Happy Friday to you. I think
if I'm if I'm not mistaken, I think I spoke
to you once before on Bill Johnson Show.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I think that is that correct? Did you come up
before show? No?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Matter of fact, we have Miss Glover about a year
and a half ago, this show.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Okay with your show.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
Okay, yeah, I remember.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
First of all, I want to applaud you.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Thanks for sharing your story with us. Thanks for sharing
your story. Uh.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
I know that you said you was a trouble child.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
You thought every day you was just about uh.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
To step into a game, things of that nature. And
to share that to me is like free in yourself.
I think that sometime we have those kind of experiences
and then for you to end up in the position
that you're in, it allows you to help children stay
on the right path because you walk down.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Those paths before yourself.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
I think it influenced you to want to do that
and want to help those children. Also, whoever it was,
I want to ask you, wasn't it a reason if
you can remember, what prompt you to, you know, act
out the way that you did. Was it something at
home you felt like? Was it an absence?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
So it was home and then school, and so I
just kind of felt like when I went to school
that I couldn't actually connect with anyone there and that
there was really nothing for me when I went there
and at home too, Yes, and so it was a
(22:00):
combination of both and in my time, schools were hey,
you fought that's it, bye, you are suspended, and that
was just that cycle, right, one hundred eighty one hundred
eighty A three to five or ten a three five ten,
by out, get out right, And so I was.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I was definitely isolated.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
And so when I finally got out, that was when
it was this whole concept of why are you acting
out this way, and let's fix it. So it was
a nurturing type of school, but prior it was very
(22:47):
hay byeh get out.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
Okay, let me say this, and closing, let me say
this and closing. We learned from my experiences, and I'm
really proud of you because I can tell that you
made a major turnaround and now you take what you
learned in the past and help up the children with it.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
I'm gonna believe in you. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Thank you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:11):

future prayers, it's spotless. Back to the phone line. I

say is mis brother. You say you stay in trouble
in school, but you got sent to a place where
they focused on you. They looked at even and they
said that she's.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Not a bad child.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
Children just want attention. When you're a child, you're doing
every thing it can luck. You see it, fight and
all in you just.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Looking for attention.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
When you understand life, then you get a pointed God
makes a seat for you. And now I don't know
about the other partagrams, but lady d one that's got
a relationship with Haley. Everybody don't know me. I take
(33:27):
that bad.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Most people know me. I take that bad.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
But stay on the road you own. Nobody turn you around,
keep God first, and you're gonna keep continuing to do
a great job. Then I'm gonna get off of it
and let somebody else talk. Cause in the words of
Lady D. When Lady D starts talking, she don't have look,
(33:53):
I don't have a show that stan bail show. So
stand bail, he said, wall.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
She said, keep serving us.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Well, you got the.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Look.
Speaker 8 (34:08):
But in the woods, uh, out the street he never
walked out there. Good. You got one thing around, three fingers.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
Down and in the mile.
Speaker 8 (34:23):

mound that three singles down, one than around.
Speaker 3 (34:31):

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Someone think w't break.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I'm not sure, but the lines lighted up like a
halo gloves in the building.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Radio. Is your line working right here, sir child? Yeah,
hold on time. Okay, there you go, I got the radio.
Speaker 7 (34:49):

Speaker 4 (34:52):
Malik yah dam belief. Go down in the dim all right,

Speaker 10 (35:02):
By introduction, I'm a fan of staying the man because
you got a plan for the radio. Now there you
my introduction to you, because you know I ain't gonna
call you know after.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
But thank you for brother brother stand.
Speaker 13 (35:20):
Thank you for two weeks of shining a bright light
on the positivity of NSCs.
Speaker 10 (35:26):
The show last week was banging, and this show is.
Speaker 13 (35:30):
Banging, and I want to thank Principal Glover.
Speaker 10 (35:35):
Who I looked up her first day and it said, it's.
Speaker 13 (35:38):
Our banion for boys. You've been a voice for our
babies and believing in our baby.
Speaker 9 (35:42):
Thank you man.
Speaker 10 (35:44):
You're welcome. You're welcome. It's inspiring to hear your testimony.
I appreciate that. Oddly enough, it's a great segue of
what Dan mentioned about the sister who's going the Trump administration.
Speaker 13 (35:58):
I made a call at receive an email from one
of my limits to hey day with some semstones of
what we closed, and it was.
Speaker 10 (36:09):
It was it was from the examples of some longs
that they're doing.
Speaker 13 (36:13):
For folks who are in the trucking business, and they
are not doing background checks. So what you've done in
the past, you know, criminal back trial, you return citizens
will end you the money long as you got the
down payment, and hopefully you can live a productive's life
going forward.
Speaker 10 (36:32):
I think that as the village brother stand and Sister Glover.
Speaker 13 (36:37):
What we don't understand is the investment of what some
people in this country are having of making sure that
they've got a good supply of folks going in the
criminal justice system, the criminal justice complex, that it should.
Speaker 10 (36:51):
Be real profitable when you stand and remain profitible. And
if your.
Speaker 13 (36:55):
Baby can't read, if you can't hear or she cannot read,
all they're doing is setting them up or to be
a ward of the state and damage the community in
the process. So we have to we have to support
good principles like this as a village to make sure
our babies can read and they can do whatever they
(37:17):
want to do in this world, whatever their imagination and
hard work will take them.
Speaker 10 (37:22):
We do not want to continue to supply the criminal
justice compact with our beautiful babies. So thank you again.
Speaker 13 (37:29):
You've inspired me this morning, and get out my rusty
Dusty and get the work.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
You're more than welcome and have a great friday you too.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
All right, last break, Prisonal Glover.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I promise we're gonna come back and wrap it up,
and we want to talk a little bit about I
think you're mantro over the Handley Elementary academics plus real
world experiences equals success. Let's talk about then we'll come back.
Hart and told the Memphis Am ten seventy w D
I eight yay, ill read back everybody whoa wait, we
just we're in the station, man, and I know I
(38:10):

Speaker 3 (38:33):

Speaker 4 (38:35):
You know what I'm saying, Shoot you we camp out?
Shoot what else you're working on?
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Storing?
Speaker 7 (38:42):
Well for those of you that are listening and that
you know y'all been y'all been trying to check out
staying y'all checked out the last first off, if you
missed the polls.
Speaker 11 (38:51):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (38:52):
Last week, stan Bell was my special guest.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (38:55):
Now it's Black History Month and I've been doing black history.
Rarely do we do the people inside of the building
because there's black history being made here, okay, and people
probably don't talk about it or don't even know. But
stan Bell is the only radio jock in Memphis that
has had a shift and I'm talking at an air
(39:15):
shift where he was working every day of the week
on four of our top black radio stations in the market,
only one to do it. So he was not a
fly jock.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
He was like a room to room job. Ye didn't.
I was on there.
Speaker 11 (39:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (39:35):
So for those of you that missed the podcast last week,
go to my w di i a dot com. Scroll
down to the bottom of the page. You'll see the
Pulse podcast and Stand is the last his podcast that
we did together. Is the last one now last night.
O God, it's so good.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
We stayed up here.
Speaker 7 (39:56):
Last night and and and we recorded it because it
plays back on all the stations right that he's been
on every last one of them, okay, that he's had
a shift on Okay, and we thought we lost the files.
So I was scratching my head. I was like, oh Lord,
please don't, please, don't make us have to do this again.
And God saw fit to come through. Thanks to Mike Evans,
(40:17):
he helped to restore it. It's all back. You sound amazing.
And I'm gonna tell you this show, y'all. If y'all
think the last show that I did with Stand last
week was good, this one is even better. This man
is walking history and I think people in Memphis should
(40:41):
know it. And people in Memphis don't know what everything
that he's done, because probably most people don't listen to
all of the stations. But he is walking black History.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Give me a box of tissue, Jermaine, stop teasing, but
it's true to stop teasing, tissue Global, Stop teasing.
Speaker 7 (41:07):
Four successful shows on four radio stations in this market.
Four of the top radio stations in this market stand bill.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Serving you.
Speaker 7 (41:23):
About all right, you bless me, you bless me, and
you're gonna bless this series.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
So since you hadn't got a mic crack, so when can.
Speaker 7 (41:31):
I hear it this Sunday on all stations? Okay, tomorrow morning.
Miss Linda would know this because she listens.
Speaker 4 (41:37):
To pretty much all of them.
Speaker 7 (41:40):
She catches the show The Pulse on the weekend on
pretty much all the stations. But first off, Hallelujah FM

thirty a m. On V one O one. And for
(42:05):

and then V one on one is one on one
point one FM. All of these are fms, and the
and and then the Big Dog he's on Sunday on
the Big on the Big Dog and seven w D
I A at three p m before the legendary right
(42:29):
Mark Stansbury.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
So you get them all, you got all these post
all of this like these.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
Yeah, I need to do that and the time I
need to do that today.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
That is important because we need to honor you because
you honor air everyone else.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yeah, and has been for years. Need to get your flower.
Speaker 7 (42:49):
And you know the good part about this is, I
know y'all listen to him every day and you think
you know all of the story. But the good part
of part one and part two is that you get
to hear the story that he doesn't really talk about, right, right,
it's so hard and people need people this because that
(43:16):
is what So your story isn't for you, right, your
story is for others to say, wow, well then Stan
bel can have something like this going on or had
something like this, Well, then this means that I can
actually be great.
Speaker 3 (43:37):
I guess I can achieve. And so your story isn't
for you.
Speaker 7 (43:43):
That's what a lot And it's the impact that and
you know that Stan has had and he never talks about,
which is you know.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Something that a lot of people don't know.
Speaker 7 (43:57):
The impact that he has had on this industry is
phenomenal because Dan has affected people that he doesn't even know.
He's mentored people in this industry that he doesn't even
know that he's mentored.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (44:13):
And serving as an advocate for Memphis, right, like highlighting
positivity for years.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
What's that song that for you?
Speaker 7 (44:27):
There's a song where the guy says, people ask me
how I do it right?
Speaker 10 (44:30):
Right?
Speaker 3 (44:31):
We have a change the right, but but we changed there.
He's been doing it.
Speaker 7 (44:38):
And I know y'all are probably let me get off
the stand soapbox, but it is real. And if we
don't celebrate each other and if we don't give each
other flowers, who's going to do it? That's right.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
I don't know this stuff on Friday. Well, you know,
I'm passionate about that.
Speaker 7 (44:58):
That the work I especially with the Pulse, I'm very
passionate about that letting people know what's happening in this city.
And I'm passionate about this building and the great people,
the ones that are not here, that are that you
know used to be here, the ones that are here
that are still uh carving a path for young people
and and still in the community stand stand is in
(45:20):
the community y'all say what you want with this man
is in this community.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
He is affecting lives every day.
Speaker 7 (45:27):
He's doing stuff and he don't talk about and that
he's doing for people. Him and his wife and his
children are amazing. I know y'all hear him talk about him,
but y'all ain't heard the stories about those kids, and
and we didn't get to talk about him on the pulse,
but you will hear it one day you're here.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Okay, I'm gonna have to reciprocate.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
Friday in the hot seat Stone, how storm got all
that stuff out of me.
Speaker 3 (45:58):

I was like, please tell me how. I was praying
all and then I got here and Mike Evans helped
restore the mike, and I was like to do it again.
