Speaker 2 (02:17):
I mean, it was just that my daughter she catered it,
which was really really wonderful. The food was excellent, excellent,
Like the feedback we've been getting is the food was excellent,
the company was great. Uh, it was just wonderful. We had,
uh people, like I said, driving from Cleveland, had people come.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Up, flying from Maryland and La.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
His sister came, his brother came, Uh, his brother's wife, Uh,
his sister's husband. You know, they came, had some cousins
to come up. His Paul Pierce's brother Jamal and his
son came and uh, we we just it was just
(02:59):
a wonderful, wonderful and we talk about like Pam and
I was talking about last week the demonstration of love,
and that was a pure demonstration, a pure love, saying, Oh,
when you walk in and you saw all those people,
I mean, that was just it was man, it was
(03:20):
really really a beautiful, beautiful evening. Oh Man ed felt
so and then he just kept saying, I can't believe this.
He had friends from six that he went to school
with sixty five years, you know, and just man, and
then we had a we weren't having going to do
(03:41):
a roast and toast, but it wasn't a roast because,
like they said, it just was all a toast because
they could not like my brother even said. Clarence said,
you know, I've been knowing this brother for thirty five
been my sister for thirty five years, and just has
always made her and kept her happy. And I tried
(04:01):
to find something wrong with him, but I just couldn't.
Now that wasn't to say that it and not like
I've said in some of the things that we have
not had our issues, because that's in any relationship. Nobody
and I always say that nobody's perfect but a fool.
That's what my mother always said, because a fool is
gonna be a fool. But we were always mature enough
(04:24):
and always able to navigate and work out whatever disagreement
or whatever together together. And when the going get tough,
the tough got going. And I mean we like glue.
That's the way we always worked our stuff out. We
didn't let nothing negative come in to the point where
we were gonna stress ourselves out and I'm done.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Because this brother here, for one thing, you can't threaten him.
You threaten him, you med as well say hell the
old semny gold, because he don't do that. So we
just have always just brought it together. And it was
fun just building our relationship and our relationship is as
we say, at our stage at this stage and our developments.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Just seeing what eighty years had built. Oh all that
time and you didn't even notice it, but over time
it built. It built the whole neighborhood of relationships that you.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Had paid any attention to, yes, but paying attention to you.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Though, yes, that's right, all through your your your years
even you know, from young and coming up. No matter
what you might have went through coming up or whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
It all paid off.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I had seen so much in my life as a
young man until I I vowed not to have that
in my life. Yes, ut all costs, whatever it took
to keep that negativity out of my life because it
serves no purpose. Yes, and it eats, and it is
the only thing you have.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's true, baby, that's true. And you and you and
you did that too, I was you. You did.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, but you did that, you know, like they say, intentional,
to make sure that you kept people that were negative
you you blocked them out your life.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You didn't give any attention to that.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
You have to you have to do it intentionally. You
have to live life intentionally.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You can't just be happy or just whatever pops up.
You can't do that. You have to be intentional. Yeah,
and make sure that you on purpose not say anything
negative on the other side of eye.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, I am Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Because that way you claim it and it becomes yours.
You're so conscious will absorb it. It would become your identity.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah. If you're not doing it on purpose.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Because you're putting it out there, you put it in
the universe. Is live right?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Live and living color.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
That's why they say you don't say things that you
can't take back to people.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Right, sound that without miles an hour, it doesn't step
in somebody's years.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
It keeps on going. Universe heard it too.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yes, So if you live.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Your life like someone is watching someone listen to everything
you do, you can't have him anything. He changed the
way you do things because you always listening. Yes, the
universe is always listen and recording. It can play it
back for you. Yeah, thirty years from that everything you
ever said and done.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
That's right, And that's what's so amazing about it all.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
So, yeah, it was you know, it was, like I said,
a great example of how many people really love you.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I mean he got beautiful, beautiful gifts.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
And uh cards and I mean I thought it was
gonna take almost two days and get them cards open
because we had a you know, the wishing where it
was just wonderful where he just it was just a
demonstration of love. That's really all I can say about that.
And we really and truly, you know, we missed our producers,
(08:06):
we really did. But we look at wander but but
Earl had explained it. Yeah, Earl had explained it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, but but but it was just a great evening.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean, the the his cake was just beautiful. We're
waiting now for the pictures because we had a video
and and and plenty of pictures, so we'll make sure
you get see the pictures. And people were just so
they were just excited for you. That's that, that was
what was so wonderful. And that's what I was asking you,
(08:38):
Why did you find it? Because of who you are
and how Because one thing that I've always and this
has been always down the line.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Women have always been.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Pulled to ad for, you know, advice about their boyfriends
and uh and dating. And you know, a lot of
my girlfriends really they always come, you know and ask
ed questions and awe, And I happen not to be
a very insecure woman or jealous or nothing, because my
girlfriends are always so genuine and they ain't trying to
(09:12):
do nothing but the right things. So I've never been
worried about that anyway, because your girlfriends and your girlfriends
and you know who's genuine who's not. And the women
that I've had around me, they just look at ed
like Pam, Pam that the head is her brother Pat.
My girlfriend Pat Crayton. You know Pam's sister. You know
that's she did. She ordered his cake.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Girl.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
His cake was absolutely gorgeous, and I was kind of tired.
So really I don't have I got a picture with
Red Ed and I that's the only picture I took.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
My purse was basically in my purse. But Ed is
the kind of guy that like Wilda, Wilda loves Ed.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You know the chairs my concert, these are your sisters
that you know that your sisters and your friends, and
so if they have something they want to ask Ed,
you know, they can call and talk to Ed. It's
you know, it's no big thing. And so Ed has
always been one that they could talk to because his
spiritual reality. For one thing, his depth is really really
(10:13):
the depths is spiritually so he can he can connect
with things that they ask him advice about and he
can relate to, you know, the questions or whatever. So
why do you, you know, why are you so shocked
about everything? That's what I wanted to ask you. Why
are you so baffled that people.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
With Voy's back. I never figured that I was doing
anything special. I figured, all you really have to do,
you don't have to remember what you say, if you
just tell the truth, just tell people the truth, to
be honest about it, and that the chips fall in
(10:56):
they may.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
So I just tell the truth what I think.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
And that's the secret behind the spirit that lives within you,
because it gives you the power of discernment. So you
can know things about people instantly, as soon as you
meet them, or before you meet them, or as soon
as you walk in the room. You know who you're
talking to, and you know if somebody's lying to you
when they're not. That's a gift. And I changed that gift,
(11:23):
and I trusted. I used to question it or they
didn't mean that, or do it. It could be that
evil the thick and then and they lie a lot too,
but with they lying to themselves because they're not only
to themselves. So I forced people to face themselves because
I tell them that the problems you have in life
(11:45):
is not other people, it's you.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, you know that's what pay them was the way
I always say, you got to look at look in
the mirror.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Right because you know, if you change the way you
look at things, the things you look at will change.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
And we always say that you can and always remind
a person about that, because that's the truth.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
So so so when people come to me with a
problem and tell what they're gonna do, I tell them, well,
first of all, you gotta be honest with yourself because
you're not truly hotly because you don't really.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Mean what you're saying. He said, well, yes I do.
I said, you don't.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You really don't mean that, because if you say if
you meant it, you wouldn't keep saying I'm gonna try.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Trying to get you anywhere. You say what you're going
to do.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Or what you're going to be, and go about doing
that you're gonna just gives you an excuse to get
out of it. And so you can stop lying to
me right now because you're not gonna do it. You
just sit so you're gonna try, and that's what means
you're not gonna do it. So you know, I just
try to show pit people are mirror up themselves so
(12:47):
they can see what they look like to me or
what they sound like. That's what you believe this person,
I don't. You know, let's start to commensation you over.
Let's start telling me the truth, and that that resonates
people because then they begin to trust you because they
knew that they're gonna gets out of you.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Right. It's always good to talk to someone that you
know that's going to be truthful and tell you to
do some reflecting.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Right, perhaps you get something that you can actually use.
You may not like it, might hurt your feelings, but
it's something you can use.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Because our son in law, Emanuel, he even, I mean
he was in tears.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
He talked.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
He thanked dead for being his mentor and that he's doing,
you know, the best he can do. He's still he's
still a work in progress, but he really thanked Dad
for being a mentor to him.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
We all work in.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Progress, right, And once you admit that, that's how you
can grow right, Because you don't have all that You're
not quite right about everything, right, So you accept advice
because you know you need it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
You need it, right, I mean all of us, like
you said, we we all at one point, we all
have have to you know, we got issues that we
need to address. And but the main thing is is
when you address it, you got to make sure that
you are sincere within yourself and and and not you know,
being pretentious, so fooling yourself because we can fool anybody else,
(14:20):
but you can't fool yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I always feel that way.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
We just lie to.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Ourselves, you know, and see we're being truthful really not. Yeah,
and you're not doing anything to yourself. Be honest with yourself.
You really can't do with anybody else. That's right, everything
it does.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We we always say that is once you can be
honest with yourself, then you can be honest with everyone.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You feel our last time to fit in and trying
to impress other people. That's why we don't want to
tell them the truth.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah, because we don't want to be alone.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, we want to have friends, you know, And I
don't sleep in my case, I don't care, yeah, because
I know friends are very few and far in between.
If you get one one good friend in life, you're lucky.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Well, I tell you one thing. We had some show
enough friends there the other night, and they showed it
in every every way, every way, and and and we
were really really blessed for that. That that that that
was really that was Like I said that Saturday night
was truly a demonstration. I see it at my concerts,
but I really am with the ones that worked with
our concerts. You know uh, you know, Karen McCool is
(15:35):
just a dialog. She sent me a message today with
this really awesome song. That's her theming song. It's it's
it's sharp about uh energy and energy is everything and
we talk about that too.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
But you know, you just it was a feeling in that.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Room that you knew there was genuine and they came
out to demonstrate that for you. So it wasn't no
mistake on that. That was That was That's when I
always say, what comes from the herd goals to the heart.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
That was demonstration Saturday night. It really was.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Listening to you everybody they do. Everybody everybody listening.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh my god, I know that that that brought tears
to your eyes. Yeah, I could not believe pople Yeah,
he was in tears. He about in tears now because
I mean when you say demonstration of love, girl, I mean,
I mean it was that. That was a powerhouse. Uh,
(16:40):
Saturday night, it was they did. They showed up and
showed out and and we we were able to get
uh for the first time in so many years. Were
all the gang and we've been at places before, all
of our group, but every we were able to get
of course, Unfortunately, Norman and Brenda, they came by last
(17:05):
night and sat with that and talked and everything because
they had a situation. His sister wasn't feeling well or something,
so they were at the last minute they were unable
to make it. But other than them, you know, we
had all of our gang was able to where we
were able to get that group picture, so it was
really really nice. So it's just like, well we always say,
(17:29):
you know that that feeling of coming from the heart,
you know, going goes to the heart. It's just it
ain't nothing like love and knowing that people love and
admire you and think a lot of you. That that
that makes you feel real warm inside. And that's what
(17:50):
we felt Saturday night for real, Wanda.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
I really was sad because I've been to many of
your concerts and we get to feel the love, receive
the love from you. And we've watched ed sit in
the front row and watch them handing out flowers, and
it's just beautiful to have received these flowers, so deserving
(18:14):
because we've watched him smiling and shining in the front row,
and so I think it's a beautiful thing for him
to have his turn to receive it, and it's so.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Deserving.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I mean really, because you give so much wisdom to
so many and we do walk away with the little
things you say to make us remember the moments when
we're getting into I know, for me, when I'm getting
into and I was like, her opinion of me is.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Not my business, and walk away happy.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
You've given happy moments when we can think of the
little things you share with.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Us that help us make our lives easier. And so
you so deserving of it.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
When I saw the one picture you said you took
on social media, Zimra, I was when you late listen
people there, I was like, oh, I know him, Yeah, yeah,
that's just I could feel the love just from your poster.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Girl, I'm telling you how many people were there for
It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, and that and that is I'm glad you brought
that out, Wander, because that is the truth. He uh,
he does so supportive from my concert and he does,
you know, embrace that.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
And then to see uh, him.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Being showered and and and you know everybody there too
when he walked in and everybody was so just just
embraced him, people getting.

Up and hugging him. He said, man, he said that
line was what did you say that? That baby said that? Yeah,
he said it was like five what did you say?
Five deep or something? I was cracking up. Girl, people

Speaker 2 (19:57):
We got a video about oh yeah, where people were
They were lying up waiting on him and you.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Know, to you know, to greet him and get a
hug and get pictures with him. And uh.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
And the photographer, the young lady that did our photography
was the one that did my concert. We used her
again for this and and she was on it, so
we you know, I'm sure that she got all of
our tables of the people, and you know, she got
a lot of pictures you know, with him, and you
(20:28):
know people, you know, the people that wanted pictures with him,
and it just it was just a beautiful, beautiful evening.
And then I think, what what is you know? We
all we say now that girl the eighty is the sixties.
I said, really, hey, when when you look out that
girl to see these people that were so sharp and
(20:51):
talking about eighty two and eighty and seventy nine and
all that, I mean, it is really it blows you
way her our group blows you away.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
My I got young people my grandchildren.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Say, my grandson Willie, who was a sharp young brother,
stepped in did whatever, you know, serving excoring people to
like he does in my concert. But he was seeing
people at the party and he was just saying him
and I talked sunday and he was just saying, how
amazing when he looks around and sees our group of people.
(21:26):
He said, they look like they party more than him.
And he's thirty five years thirty five years old.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
But it's goal, because here's to life. You really live
your model.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yes, yes, and when you look around at some of
those people, it is amazing. We were talking to a
real close friend of ours yesterday that was there, and
she's eighty two. She don't take no blood pressure medicine,
she exercises, she do whatever, get in her car and
go wherever she want to go.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
And she says she just keeps it moving. I told her.
And that's when I'm talking about. So we say that
the eighties and the eighties is the sixties.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
He said, yeah, because I used to talk about.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I mean because back in the day, you know, they
kind of look like that. But now you know, you
see him now and and and and getting around now
it got his little challenges, but he ain't thinking about that,
and he ain't gonna stop moving because for one thing,
I'm gonna keep him. He's not.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
He stopped working his little job now and he gets
a chance to rest a little later. But he rested
a little later because we got things to do when
he get up. He been off a week, and we
got and we got something to do every day this week.
I was up this morning, I had to sing at

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Say it. That's what a girlfriend was saying too. She said, Sam, right,
you make me when I hear baby, you make me tired.
Just listen to what all you gotta do. But I
say you like I say every week, and said it
and stressed it last week. Keep it moving.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
The grandkids always say, can y'all stay home?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Sometimes Maria says that our daughter say, dag, y'all got
something to do every day, don't you can't just stay
home sometime? No, we got we got things to do,
and that's what keeps you youthful too. You gotta keep thinking,
keep things on your schedule, and keep things going.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
You're sharing your life with others.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yes, yeah, I mean you gotta do it. ED don't
always want to do it because I want to do it.
Then I tell him, Hey, we're gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
I've always That's how.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That's how I so surprise all those people because I
basically live my life by myself, single, privately.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I like private. I like solitude. Yes, And they don't
want to give you that.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
You try to get it, but they don't want you
to have it cause and then you have to control
yourself and not get upset by it and just it's
all a part of life and just bite the bullet
and go ahead and entertain the people. But you never
know that your science is actually teaching them restraint and control,
because whatever they do is to irritate you.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
I never show it. I I'll leave them before I
get get upset by it.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, he he doesn't walk away.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
They did they say something stupid? I just leave it.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But he's talking about in general, just with life general,
not not our people.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Just injurious just where you have to handle other people
because you have to ask yourself. They they They do
that because they know not and they don't really mean
to hurts your feelings. They just don't know any better.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
But they use the words that they use because they
aren't they go carry them. It's not that extensive. Yeah,
So they's trying to express themselves the best way they can.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And you're talking about people that curse and use profaned language.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
That's that's that's that's that's that's a loss of energy.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, that you might need and all you do is
is showing people that you know, you need to learn
some new words to express yourself.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah. We tell our son in law that because he's
a lot, because.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
He curses a lot, use personality only because those the
only words you know to express how he feels. So
if once, once you find an answer to that, you'll
feel better because you feel more confident and you won't feel.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Well, you won't feel insecure, because that's what that is.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
In security, jealousy, envy, all that stuff, it is it's
your insecurity. So if you get rid of the insecurity,
life becomes a lot more clear to you and you
understanding gets better.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
And then you feel better about yourself too.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
And then it's like.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Because when I know for a personally that no matter
what you say would hurt me. I can say whatever
you want because I'm not gonna take it personal because
I know where it comes from. Yeah, you come from
a defective soul damaged. If it's damaged, why how can
I hold you responsible?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
That's ry for what you do not know?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Right, It's like argument.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
It's like argue with the kindergarten person, you know, because
they're not talking right. Well, they're young, they don't know. Yeah,
so its cuts from slack. That's what we all should do.
We should we should all cut each other from slack.
We don't know that we hurt your feelings. That's why
that's a good thing about young confore or the Hebrew,
(26:42):
but that the year of forgiveness where you just.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Say you made the day of forgettingess of forgiveness.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
That if there's anything I said or done to hurt
your feelings, I apologize forgive me because it.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Wasn't intention right, what's not intention? But we should do
that anyway, and we talk about that anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
If you if you have a situation, but that is
an actual day, you're saying, that's set aside for that world.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
But if the world did that.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
But if the world governess did that, yes, there would
they would have as much conflict in the wars and
killers and murders all over the world. Anybody just apologize,
I knew that your stuff, I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to take your stuff. Stealing from other people, lying, cheating,
and murder, All that would go away.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
All you gotta do is be like what the brother said,
just be civil.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, if we had to fight for civil rights, you
can't get civil right.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Just civil it's all you can get.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, And you're supposed to be an intelligent human being,
and you really not. So we have to outgrow the
idea that we have that the people that we have
in our world are some out against us. Nobody's against
you at all. You you are against yourself. So everything
(27:59):
begins with you and for you and by you. And
to stop blaming other people about what you do and
what you say.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
So now that's what it's important that we like again,
like we always say, you have to look into the mirror.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You can't blame nobody else.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Telling people the truth, and you decide you're gonna leave
your life any truth. You're gonna You're gonna be a
lot of lonely days because you canna be by yourself
a lot, because you're not gonna have a whole lot
of friends. If you don't believe it, just keep you try,
try telling people to do when they bring to you
some gossomin a life, you telling the truth.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, yeah, but we don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
We're grateful for the you know, the friendships that we
have acquired during down the years. And it's man and
everybody that I talked to, they you know when they
r s v P, it wasn't wasn't No, we ain't
missing this. I have a uh, we have a friend
from I mean years and years and years ago and

always caused me to sing if somebody passed or anything,
and she called me to definitely called said I will
be at ed celebration eighty years old.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I ain't missing it.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
So you know, people, you know, sometimes you know, people
think more of you than you know you might realize yourself.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
And that's what's so wonderful about it.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (29:27):

getting excited about Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving that gratitude day where you
go around and you you know, show your gratitude like
we always do. I'm cooking that cooking for Thanksgiving, and
(39:07):
you know, we go around and you know, always we
go around the table and say what we're grateful about.
And one of the things that we are grateful about
is life. You know, yes, life, Definitely embracing life. And
again that's why I love that song so much, Here's
the Life because the lyrics just they just they have
(39:31):
so much substance to it, so much substance.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
That's it, and you have to embrace it.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
And as I always say, when you embrace life, life
will embrace you back.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
And that's why it's important.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
To do that, to get out there and make it happen.
Speaker 7 (39:48):
You do.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And it's how you live, how you think, how you
feel about yourself, how you feel about others. I mean,
all of that just combined is what you know, makes
a difference in your life.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
It really does.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
But you got to make sure that you stay on
the path of again positiveness, and it's all about how
we think and you want to make sure that you
journal your thoughts. That's so important to journal your thoughts
and to share your thoughts and keep your thoughts positive
(40:21):
and just stay on the track of wellness and health.
We're going to have some great shows coming up coming
up for twenty twenty six, and we have some shows
that we're still going to close out with this year.
We have a couple of people that were going to
be and we're definitely bringing back doctor Coleman, Stephanie Coleman,
(40:43):
with some great information that she always shares and has.
And then we have another lady that wants to join
us doctor I can't think of her name because she's
new to me, but she contacted me.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Wants to talk about young women that are pregnant and.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Still using drugs, and I think that's gonna be a
very very interesting show.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
So uh we'll be having her own soon.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
And then we have another UH sister that we're going
to bring bring UH in before the year is out,
bringing women.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Back with hats. And these hats are stunning.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
They shop, I mean, and she's going to bring bringing
back some history on that, you know, because women, our
sisters can wear some hats and these hats that have
been designed that she's bringing forth.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Uh, and it's it's where they're going to be. Uh.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
It's going to be i think demonstrated or something in
New York, and it's going to be very, very phenomenal.
But I'm gonna wait have all the particulars and I'm
just kind of talking off the top of the conversation
that we had off of my head. But we're going
to bring that show on before the end of the year.
So we got some great shows that we still have
(42:06):
lined up and put them in the right time.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Slot to bring to you before the year is out.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
But that's gonna be very interesting about the sister that
wants to talk about young people being pregnant and women
being pregnant and using drugs and don't understand the detriment
that that has on that unborn child as well as
your own being, your own self.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
So that's gonna be a very very interesting conversation.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
I talked to Pam about what did she think about that,
and she agreed that that would be a great conversation
because you will be surprised how many young women don't
understand the effect that using drugs and being pregnant has
on that unborn child. It is really something that you know,
(42:59):
we wanted to into and understand that it's just not good.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
So we'll talk about that.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
You see like this just a lack of information, Yeah,
that you be pregnant and annoyingly or annoying, Yeah, damage
your system and your life your child.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Yeah yeah, but you people need to understand using drugs period,
it's just not It's not good for the body.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
And then when you want to turn that off sometimes
it can be too late because you've already destroyed your
your your organs and your body. And you know you
want to look at it and say, was that high
worth that? No, no, it wasn't. So we're going to
talk about some of that.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
And so I am going to say that we love
intellectual radio dot Com. Right here at intellectual radio dot
com is where we uh get an opport tunity with
our producers mister Earl Winfrey and Wanda Bee, get an
(44:05):
opportunity to share our thoughts and our happy thoughts, things
that we might be struggling with, and things that are
good information for you to know about that can make
a change in your life young people. How I had
someone today that was talking to me and said that
she would like to hear how young people and we've
(44:29):
talked about the entitlement, but young people getting older but
still feel like it's okay to still live at home
with your parents and be irresponsible. You know, that's just
not good. And then older She mentioned that older people
still living with their parents not necessarily down on their luck,
(44:53):
but just don't want to be responsible enough to do
what they need to do to be on their own.
And you're talking about out thirty and forty and fifty
and still being at home or wanting to be at
home with their parents or grandparents or whatever. And this
was a subject that was brought to me that they
would like to hear more about that. And so that's
(45:13):
a that's a show that we're going to talk about too,
because you know, when you get older, you got to
find a way to be responsible enough to carry your
own weight and not lean still on your parents.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
I just don't get that.
Speaker 3 (45:29):
Well, then I can tell them, like my father told me.
I mean I was twelve years old. He said, so
where you're gonna live when you get get to be eighteen?
Speaker 1 (45:38):
And you was twelve and he told you that. So
your father didn't play.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
Yeah, but that's what you have to do.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
You have prepared choosing for life, but you had prepared
them for the world, right, and start early and wait
till they you know, excuse me, they twelve or thirteen
before you start teaching discipline.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Right, No, you got to start at two.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
That's a little young, but you're about right. You start
when they can understand and when they start talking.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Enough.
Speaker 4 (46:06):
The spirits are older than the age.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Yeah, because I know we got too.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
We got two great grand babies that definitely have old spirit,
especially Journey, Journey.
Speaker 4 (46:15):
Because you expect more of the world, expect get more.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
And that's true, and you let them know that and
know that you're looking and your watching, and it does
make a difference.
Speaker 4 (46:25):
What's smarter than you think?
Speaker 1 (46:26):
They're a whole lot smarter than we think. I don't, right,
we know, you know, you already know.
Speaker 4 (46:33):
I already know.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
Yeah, they can lie, I can look at the eye
and a two years old because you understand me, don't you?
Speaker 1 (46:41):
You really do, don't And they say, yeah, Papa, yeah
we do, and they really do.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
Because Molina in Journey, they super smart, They super smart
and Journey is a natural so so so we know
we got two beautiful great grand babies that are just
they they they just made five. Journey made five in
October and Molina made seven. And those some smart babies.
They really are exactly But their parents they don't lot,
(47:08):
they don't they they be on their education. And I
love that for them, I really do. So it's just
about making children understand.
Speaker 6 (47:17):
And you do.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
And you're absolutely right as you start out.
Speaker 4 (47:22):
Live life for your own, for your entertainment.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
Absolutely and that's why you are who you are today
because your father started you out at twelve.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
I mean you've been.
Speaker 4 (47:32):
Working through twelve. I had a job at twelve.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
You started working at twelve. Man, where were you working
at twelve? Working around the house and doing things, taking
care of your children, I mean your siblings.
Speaker 4 (47:49):
I been working ever since.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
And and this this sister that we know, that's a
beautiful system. Matter of fact, I'm gonna give her a
shout out. She works at Nissan in South Holland, and
I mean she she she be on it. I'm gonna
mention her and bring our bring our book. But she's
Joe Anne. She's a shop shop sister, boy. And if
(48:13):
you want to buy a car, you got somebody with
integrity and who's really really an awesome, awesome lady and
just asked for Joanne Nissan of South Holland. She can
get it done for you. And she's just a great sister.
That's what I'm talking about. And but the main thing
(48:33):
is she's not gonna rip you off. She's not in
it just for commission. She's in it to make sure
that you get in a car that you'll be very
happy with and not a car note off the roof.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
She's gonna do the best for you.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
But but what made me bring her up as well
is that and thanking her also for the support that
she gives Zimron Company. But she remembered when she saw Ed,
she remembered ed Ed was her her parents, paper boy.
That was unfrigging believable. We laughed at that and she
(49:09):
just me was like his face never changed and that
is what was So that was crazy. When she said that,
she absolutely said he was her parents and she and
and that was and it was his face that never changed.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
I know you don't know me, she said, yes, I do.
I've seen you before, so you you were you were
my great my parents, paperboy.
Speaker 4 (49:32):
The word you knew that. What is wrong with you girl?
You yeah, none of us nigga? She said, oh, I
remember because your faith had not changed.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
That was amazing.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Boy.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
We laughed at that. That was so amazing.
Speaker 4 (49:44):
I was ten, She said, I know, get straight.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
That was so funny.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
Boy.
Speaker 1 (49:54):
So that's just going to show you how people people
remember you and you never know.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
That's why they always say be careful because you never
know who knows you or who remembers you. Because a
friend of uh, that the dolorous pigeon that I was
talking about, she was Marie's school teacher and she saw
at Ed's party. She was, yeah, and she remember Marie
(50:19):
moving on and being becoming a principal.
Speaker 3 (50:23):
And you never know who you're going to be. Other
guy can be scared me. He says, he called call
me by name, Ed Sherman, right. I says, what I
don't know? You say, yeah, man, I know you have
been knowing you since sixty eight. He said you you
were worked at McDonald's on thirty fifth Street. I said,
I don't know you, man, He said, yeah, I know you.
(50:44):
How do people remember you like that? And I'm bad
with name. I'll forget it. I'd never forget a face,
but I don't remember people's names, and they just yeah,
embarrassing when they know you and you don't know who
they are.
Speaker 4 (50:57):
Heyah, I don't know who you mean.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
But that's wonderful though. That's that's always a blessing when
people remember you. This it's all about spirit, like we
always say, that's right, it's all about spirit. So on
that note, you know that ours is gone. So we

Speaker 1 (00:26):
And we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Talk a little bit about our eightieth birthday porty that
we had this past Saturday at the Dolphin Lake right
there in Homewood, Elmore, Illinois. And man, was it a
blast if there's a such thing as being a blast
or the people came out to celebrate this brother's eightieth birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Ed was absolutely so. He just he walked in off,
what was the song you had to bring you in? Hollood? Wolf?
Boy colland Wolf. What's the name of it? Ed, I'm
a maid, I'm a maid boy.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
When he walked in, Boy, it was absolutely the room
was I mean the room was full. It holds one
hundred and twenty people in that room was packed. We
had people that came from l A. We had people
that drove up from Cleveland, O. Our close friend and
sister Glinda Harrison, which everybody knows that's one of the
(01:28):
baddest bartenders of Chicago or the Chicago has ever had.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And we just love her.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
She bartender's our Easter bartender, rather our New Year's Eve
parties until she moved to Vegas. But she came in
from Vegas specifically to bartender for Ed's birthday Cartier color red.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Boy, that's our baby right there.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And it was just a wonderful, wonderful evening.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And then what what Top did all was Ed did
Tobacco Road by Lou Rose.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
He sung Tobacco Road boy, and uh, people people were
blown away.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Boy that that that that was icing on the cake. Boy.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I mean, it was just that my daughter she catered it,
which was really really wonderful. The food was excellent, excellent,
Like the feedback we've been getting is the food was excellent,
the company was great. Uh, it was just wonderful. We had,
uh people, like I said, driving from Cleveland, had people come.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Up, flying from Maryland and La.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
His sister came, his brother came, Uh, his brother's wife, Uh,
his sister's husband. You know, they came, had some cousins
to come up. His Paul Pierce's brother Jamal and his
son came and uh, we we just it was just
(02:59):
a wonderful, wonderful and we talk about like Pam and
I was talking about last week the demonstration of love,
and that was a pure demonstration, a pure love, saying, Oh,
when you walk in and you saw all those people,
I mean, that was just it was man, it was
(03:20):
really really a beautiful, beautiful evening. Oh Man ed felt
so and then he just kept saying, I can't believe this.
He had friends from six that he went to school
with sixty five years, you know, and just man, and
then we had a we weren't having going to do
(03:41):
a roast and toast, but it wasn't a roast because,
like they said, it just was all a toast because
they could not like my brother even said. Clarence said,
you know, I've been knowing this brother for thirty five
been my sister for thirty five years, and just has
always made her and kept her happy. And I tried
(04:01):
to find something wrong with him, but I just couldn't.
Now that wasn't to say that it and not like
I've said in some of the things that we have
not had our issues, because that's in any relationship. Nobody
and I always say that nobody's perfect but a fool.
That's what my mother always said, because a fool is
gonna be a fool. But we were always mature enough
(04:24):
and always able to navigate and work out whatever disagreement
or whatever together together. And when the going get tough,
the tough got going. And I mean we like glue.
That's the way we always worked our stuff out. We
didn't let nothing negative come in to the point where
we were gonna stress ourselves out and I'm done.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Because this brother here, for one thing, you can't threaten him.
You threaten him, you med as well say hell the
old semny gold, because he don't do that. So we
just have always just brought it together. And it was
fun just building our relationship and our relationship is as
we say, at our stage at this stage and our developments.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Just seeing what eighty years had built. Oh all that
time and you didn't even notice it, but over time
it built. It built the whole neighborhood of relationships that you.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Had paid any attention to, yes, but paying attention to you.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Though, yes, that's right, all through your your your years
even you know, from young and coming up. No matter
what you might have went through coming up or whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
It all paid off.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I had seen so much in my life as a
young man until I I vowed not to have that
in my life. Yes, ut all costs, whatever it took
to keep that negativity out of my life because it
serves no purpose. Yes, and it eats, and it is
the only thing you have.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's true, baby, that's true. And you and you and
you did that too, I was you. You did.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, but you did that, you know, like they say, intentional,
to make sure that you kept people that were negative
you you blocked them out your life.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You didn't give any attention to that.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
You have to you have to do it intentionally. You
have to live life intentionally.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You can't just be happy or just whatever pops up.
You can't do that. You have to be intentional. Yeah,
and make sure that you on purpose not say anything
negative on the other side of eye.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, I am Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Because that way you claim it and it becomes yours.
You're so conscious will absorb it. It would become your identity.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah. If you're not doing it on purpose.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Because you're putting it out there, you put it in
the universe. Is live right?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Live and living color.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
That's why they say you don't say things that you
can't take back to people.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Right, sound that without miles an hour, it doesn't step
in somebody's years.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
It keeps on going. Universe heard it too.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yes, So if you live.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Your life like someone is watching someone listen to everything
you do, you can't have him anything. He changed the
way you do things because you always listening. Yes, the
universe is always listen and recording. It can play it
back for you. Yeah, thirty years from that everything you
ever said and done.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
That's right, And that's what's so amazing about it all.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
So, yeah, it was you know, it was, like I said,
a great example of how many people really love you.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I mean he got beautiful, beautiful gifts.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
And uh cards and I mean I thought it was
gonna take almost two days and get them cards open
because we had a you know, the wishing where it
was just wonderful where he just it was just a
demonstration of love. That's really all I can say about that.
And we really and truly, you know, we missed our producers,
(08:06):
we really did. But we look at wander but but
Earl had explained it. Yeah, Earl had explained it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, but but but it was just a great evening.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean, the the his cake was just beautiful. We're
waiting now for the pictures because we had a video
and and and plenty of pictures, so we'll make sure
you get see the pictures. And people were just so
they were just excited for you. That's that, that was
what was so wonderful. And that's what I was asking you,
(08:38):
Why did you find it? Because of who you are
and how Because one thing that I've always and this
has been always down the line.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Women have always been.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Pulled to ad for, you know, advice about their boyfriends
and uh and dating. And you know, a lot of
my girlfriends really they always come, you know and ask
ed questions and awe, And I happen not to be
a very insecure woman or jealous or nothing, because my
girlfriends are always so genuine and they ain't trying to
(09:12):
do nothing but the right things. So I've never been
worried about that anyway, because your girlfriends and your girlfriends
and you know who's genuine who's not. And the women
that I've had around me, they just look at ed
like Pam, Pam that the head is her brother Pat.
My girlfriend Pat Crayton. You know Pam's sister. You know
that's she did. She ordered his cake.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Girl.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
His cake was absolutely gorgeous, and I was kind of tired.
So really I don't have I got a picture with
Red Ed and I that's the only picture I took.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
My purse was basically in my purse. But Ed is
the kind of guy that like Wilda, Wilda loves Ed.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You know the chairs my concert, these are your sisters
that you know that your sisters and your friends, and
so if they have something they want to ask Ed,
you know, they can call and talk to Ed. It's
you know, it's no big thing. And so Ed has
always been one that they could talk to because his
spiritual reality. For one thing, his depth is really really
(10:13):
the depths is spiritually so he can he can connect
with things that they ask him advice about and he
can relate to, you know, the questions or whatever. So
why do you, you know, why are you so shocked
about everything? That's what I wanted to ask you. Why
are you so baffled that people.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
With Voy's back. I never figured that I was doing
anything special. I figured, all you really have to do,
you don't have to remember what you say, if you
just tell the truth, just tell people the truth, to
be honest about it, and that the chips fall in
(10:56):
they may.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
So I just tell the truth what I think.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
And that's the secret behind the spirit that lives within you,
because it gives you the power of discernment. So you
can know things about people instantly, as soon as you
meet them, or before you meet them, or as soon
as you walk in the room. You know who you're
talking to, and you know if somebody's lying to you
when they're not. That's a gift. And I changed that gift,
(11:23):
and I trusted. I used to question it or they
didn't mean that, or do it. It could be that
evil the thick and then and they lie a lot too,
but with they lying to themselves because they're not only
to themselves. So I forced people to face themselves because
I tell them that the problems you have in life
(11:45):
is not other people, it's you.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, you know that's what pay them was the way
I always say, you got to look at look in
the mirror.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Right because you know, if you change the way you
look at things, the things you look at will change.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
And we always say that you can and always remind
a person about that, because that's the truth.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
So so so when people come to me with a
problem and tell what they're gonna do, I tell them, well,
first of all, you gotta be honest with yourself because
you're not truly hotly because you don't really.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Mean what you're saying. He said, well, yes I do.
I said, you don't.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You really don't mean that, because if you say if
you meant it, you wouldn't keep saying I'm gonna try.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Trying to get you anywhere. You say what you're going
to do.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Or what you're going to be, and go about doing
that you're gonna just gives you an excuse to get
out of it. And so you can stop lying to
me right now because you're not gonna do it. You
just sit so you're gonna try, and that's what means
you're not gonna do it. So you know, I just
try to show pit people are mirror up themselves so
(12:47):
they can see what they look like to me or
what they sound like. That's what you believe this person,
I don't. You know, let's start to commensation you over.
Let's start telling me the truth, and that that resonates
people because then they begin to trust you because they
knew that they're gonna gets out of you.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Right. It's always good to talk to someone that you
know that's going to be truthful and tell you to
do some reflecting.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Right, perhaps you get something that you can actually use.
You may not like it, might hurt your feelings, but
it's something you can use.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Because our son in law, Emanuel, he even, I mean
he was in tears.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
He talked.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
He thanked dead for being his mentor and that he's doing,
you know, the best he can do. He's still he's
still a work in progress, but he really thanked Dad
for being a mentor to him.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
We all work in.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Progress, right, And once you admit that, that's how you
can grow right, Because you don't have all that You're
not quite right about everything, right, So you accept advice
because you know you need it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
You need it, right, I mean all of us, like
you said, we we all at one point, we all
have have to you know, we got issues that we
need to address. And but the main thing is is
when you address it, you got to make sure that
you are sincere within yourself and and and not you know,
being pretentious, so fooling yourself because we can fool anybody else,
(14:20):
but you can't fool yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I always feel that way.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
We just lie to.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Ourselves, you know, and see we're being truthful really not. Yeah,
and you're not doing anything to yourself. Be honest with yourself.
You really can't do with anybody else. That's right, everything
it does.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We we always say that is once you can be
honest with yourself, then you can be honest with everyone.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You feel our last time to fit in and trying
to impress other people. That's why we don't want to
tell them the truth.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah, because we don't want to be alone.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, we want to have friends, you know, And I
don't sleep in my case, I don't care, yeah, because
I know friends are very few and far in between.
If you get one one good friend in life, you're lucky.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Well, I tell you one thing. We had some show
enough friends there the other night, and they showed it
in every every way, every way, and and and we
were really really blessed for that. That that that that
was really that was Like I said that Saturday night
was truly a demonstration. I see it at my concerts,
but I really am with the ones that worked with
our concerts. You know uh, you know, Karen McCool is
(15:35):
just a dialog. She sent me a message today with
this really awesome song. That's her theming song. It's it's
it's sharp about uh energy and energy is everything and
we talk about that too.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
But you know, you just it was a feeling in that.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Room that you knew there was genuine and they came
out to demonstrate that for you. So it wasn't no
mistake on that. That was That was That's when I
always say, what comes from the herd goals to the heart.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
That was demonstration Saturday night. It really was.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Listening to you everybody they do. Everybody everybody listening.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh my god, I know that that that brought tears
to your eyes. Yeah, I could not believe pople Yeah,
he was in tears. He about in tears now because
I mean when you say demonstration of love, girl, I mean,
I mean it was that. That was a powerhouse. Uh,
(16:40):
Saturday night, it was they did. They showed up and
showed out and and we we were able to get
uh for the first time in so many years. Were
all the gang and we've been at places before, all
of our group, but every we were able to get
of course, Unfortunately, Norman and Brenda, they came by last
(17:05):
night and sat with that and talked and everything because
they had a situation. His sister wasn't feeling well or something,
so they were at the last minute they were unable
to make it. But other than them, you know, we
had all of our gang was able to where we
were able to get that group picture, so it was
really really nice. So it's just like, well we always say,
(17:29):
you know that that feeling of coming from the heart,
you know, going goes to the heart. It's just it
ain't nothing like love and knowing that people love and
admire you and think a lot of you. That that
that makes you feel real warm inside. And that's what
(17:50):
we felt Saturday night for real, Wanda.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
I really was sad because I've been to many of
your concerts and we get to feel the love, receive
the love from you. And we've watched ed sit in
the front row and watch them handing out flowers, and
it's just beautiful to have received these flowers, so deserving
(18:14):
because we've watched him smiling and shining in the front row,
and so I think it's a beautiful thing for him
to have his turn to receive it, and it's so.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Deserving.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I mean really, because you give so much wisdom to
so many and we do walk away with the little
things you say to make us remember the moments when
we're getting into I know, for me, when I'm getting
into and I was like, her opinion of me is.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Not my business, and walk away happy.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
You've given happy moments when we can think of the
little things you share with.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Us that help us make our lives easier. And so
you so deserving of it.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
When I saw the one picture you said you took
on social media, Zimra, I was when you late listen
people there, I was like, oh, I know him, Yeah, yeah,
that's just I could feel the love just from your poster.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Girl, I'm telling you how many people were there for
It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, and that and that is I'm glad you brought
that out, Wander, because that is the truth. He uh,
he does so supportive from my concert and he does,
you know, embrace that.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
And then to see uh, him.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Being showered and and and you know everybody there too
when he walked in and everybody was so just just
embraced him, people getting.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Up and hugging him. He said, man, he said that
line was what did you say that? That baby said that? Yeah,
he said it was like five what did you say?
Five deep or something? I was cracking up. Girl, people
standing in line to.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
We got a video about oh yeah, where people were
They were lying up waiting on him and you.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Know, to you know, to greet him and get a
hug and get pictures with him. And uh.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
And the photographer, the young lady that did our photography
was the one that did my concert. We used her
again for this and and she was on it, so
we you know, I'm sure that she got all of
our tables of the people, and you know, she got
a lot of pictures you know, with him, and you
(20:28):
know people, you know, the people that wanted pictures with him,
and it just it was just a beautiful, beautiful evening.
And then I think, what what is you know? We
all we say now that girl the eighty is the sixties.
I said, really, hey, when when you look out that
girl to see these people that were so sharp and
(20:51):
talking about eighty two and eighty and seventy nine and
all that, I mean, it is really it blows you
way her our group blows you away.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
My I got young people my grandchildren.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Say, my grandson Willie, who was a sharp young brother,
stepped in did whatever, you know, serving excoring people to
like he does in my concert. But he was seeing
people at the party and he was just saying him
and I talked sunday and he was just saying, how
amazing when he looks around and sees our group of people.
(21:26):
He said, they look like they party more than him.
And he's thirty five years thirty five years old.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
But it's goal, because here's to life. You really live
your model.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yes, yes, and when you look around at some of
those people, it is amazing. We were talking to a
real close friend of ours yesterday that was there, and
she's eighty two. She don't take no blood pressure medicine,
she exercises, she do whatever, get in her car and
go wherever she want to go.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
And she says she just keeps it moving. I told her.
And that's when I'm talking about. So we say that
the eighties and the eighties is the sixties.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
He said, yeah, because I used to talk about.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I mean because back in the day, you know, they
kind of look like that. But now you know, you
see him now and and and and getting around now
it got his little challenges, but he ain't thinking about that,
and he ain't gonna stop moving because for one thing,
I'm gonna keep him. He's not.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
He stopped working his little job now and he gets
a chance to rest a little later. But he rested
a little later because we got things to do when
he get up. He been off a week, and we
got and we got something to do every day this week.
I was up this morning, I had to sing at
a funeral that was I.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Was referred to.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
And we got something to do. And tomorrow morning we
got something to do. Wednesday, we got something to do, Thursday, Friday.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Say it. That's what a girlfriend was saying too. She said, Sam, right,
you make me when I hear baby, you make me tired.
Just listen to what all you gotta do. But I
say you like I say every week, and said it
and stressed it last week. Keep it moving.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
The grandkids always say, can y'all stay home?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Sometimes Maria says that our daughter say, dag, y'all got
something to do every day, don't you can't just stay
home sometime? No, we got we got things to do,
and that's what keeps you youthful too. You gotta keep thinking,
keep things on your schedule, and keep things going.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
You're sharing your life with others.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yes, yeah, I mean you gotta do it. ED don't
always want to do it because I want to do it.
Then I tell him, Hey, we're gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
I've always That's how.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That's how I so surprise all those people because I
basically live my life by myself, single, privately.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I like private. I like solitude. Yes, And they don't
want to give you that.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
You try to get it, but they don't want you
to have it cause and then you have to control
yourself and not get upset by it and just it's
all a part of life and just bite the bullet
and go ahead and entertain the people. But you never
know that your science is actually teaching them restraint and control,
because whatever they do is to irritate you.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
I never show it. I I'll leave them before I
get get upset by it.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, he he doesn't walk away.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
They did they say something stupid? I just leave it.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But he's talking about in general, just with life general,
not not our people.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Just injurious just where you have to handle other people
because you have to ask yourself. They they They do
that because they know not and they don't really mean
to hurts your feelings. They just don't know any better.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
But they use the words that they use because they
aren't they go carry them. It's not that extensive. Yeah,
So they's trying to express themselves the best way they can.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And you're talking about people that curse and use profaned language.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
That's that's that's that's that's that's a loss of energy.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, that you might need and all you do is
is showing people that you know, you need to learn
some new words to express yourself.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah. We tell our son in law that because he's
a lot, because.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
He curses a lot, use personality only because those the
only words you know to express how he feels. So
if once, once you find an answer to that, you'll
feel better because you feel more confident and you won't feel.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Well, you won't feel insecure, because that's what that is.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
In security, jealousy, envy, all that stuff, it is it's
your insecurity. So if you get rid of the insecurity,
life becomes a lot more clear to you and you
understanding gets better.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
And then you feel better about yourself too.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
And then it's like.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Because when I know for a personally that no matter
what you say would hurt me. I can say whatever
you want because I'm not gonna take it personal because
I know where it comes from. Yeah, you come from
a defective soul damaged. If it's damaged, why how can
I hold you responsible?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
That's ry for what you do not know?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Right, It's like argument.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
It's like argue with the kindergarten person, you know, because
they're not talking right. Well, they're young, they don't know. Yeah,
so its cuts from slack. That's what we all should do.
We should we should all cut each other from slack.
We don't know that we hurt your feelings. That's why
that's a good thing about young confore or the Hebrew,
(26:42):
but that the year of forgiveness where you just.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Say you made the day of forgettingess of forgiveness.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
That if there's anything I said or done to hurt
your feelings, I apologize forgive me because it.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Wasn't intention right, what's not intention? But we should do
that anyway, and we talk about that anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
If you if you have a situation, but that is
an actual day, you're saying, that's set aside for that world.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
But if the world did that.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
But if the world governess did that, yes, there would
they would have as much conflict in the wars and
killers and murders all over the world. Anybody just apologize,
I knew that your stuff, I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to take your stuff. Stealing from other people, lying, cheating,
and murder, All that would go away.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
All you gotta do is be like what the brother said,
just be civil.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, if we had to fight for civil rights, you
can't get civil right.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Just civil it's all you can get.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, And you're supposed to be an intelligent human being,
and you really not. So we have to outgrow the
idea that we have that the people that we have
in our world are some out against us. Nobody's against
you at all. You you are against yourself. So everything
(27:59):
begins with you and for you and by you. And
to stop blaming other people about what you do and
what you say.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
So now that's what it's important that we like again,
like we always say, you have to look into the mirror.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You can't blame nobody else.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Telling people the truth, and you decide you're gonna leave
your life any truth. You're gonna You're gonna be a
lot of lonely days because you canna be by yourself
a lot, because you're not gonna have a whole lot
of friends. If you don't believe it, just keep you try,
try telling people to do when they bring to you
some gossomin a life, you telling the truth.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, yeah, but we don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
We're grateful for the you know, the friendships that we
have acquired during down the years. And it's man and
everybody that I talked to, they you know when they
r s v P, it wasn't wasn't No, we ain't
missing this. I have a uh, we have a friend

Speaker 1 (29:15):
I ain't missing it.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
So you know, people, you know, sometimes you know, people
think more of you than you know you might realize yourself.
Speaker 1 (29:24):

Speaker 2 (29:25):

getting excited about Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving that gratitude day where you
go around and you you know, show your gratitude like
we always do. I'm cooking that cooking for Thanksgiving, and
(39:07):
you know, we go around and you know, always we
go around the table and say what we're grateful about.
And one of the things that we are grateful about
is life. You know, yes, life, Definitely embracing life. And
again that's why I love that song so much, Here's
the Life because the lyrics just they just they have
(39:31):
so much substance to it, so much substance.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
That's it, and you have to embrace it.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
And as I always say, when you embrace life, life
will embrace you back.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
And that's why it's important.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
To do that, to get out there and make it happen.
Speaker 7 (39:48):
You do.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And it's how you live, how you think, how you
feel about yourself, how you feel about others. I mean,
all of that just combined is what you know, makes
a difference in your life.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
It really does.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
But you got to make sure that you stay on
the path of again positiveness, and it's all about how
we think and you want to make sure that you
journal your thoughts. That's so important to journal your thoughts
and to share your thoughts and keep your thoughts positive
(40:21):
and just stay on the track of wellness and health.
We're going to have some great shows coming up coming
up for twenty twenty six, and we have some shows
that we're still going to close out with this year.
We have a couple of people that were going to
be and we're definitely bringing back doctor Coleman, Stephanie Coleman,
(40:43):
with some great information that she always shares and has.
And then we have another lady that wants to join
us doctor I can't think of her name because she's
new to me, but she contacted me.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Wants to talk about young women that are pregnant and.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Still using drugs, and I think that's gonna be a
very very interesting show.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
So uh we'll be having her own soon.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
And then we have another UH sister that we're going
to bring bring UH in before the year is out,
bringing women.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Back with hats. And these hats are stunning.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
They shop, I mean, and she's going to bring bringing
back some history on that, you know, because women, our
sisters can wear some hats and these hats that have
been designed that she's bringing forth.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Uh, and it's it's where they're going to be. Uh.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
It's going to be i think demonstrated or something in
New York, and it's going to be very, very phenomenal.
But I'm gonna wait have all the particulars and I'm
just kind of talking off the top of the conversation
that we had off of my head. But we're going
to bring that show on before the end of the year.
So we got some great shows that we still have
(42:06):
lined up and put them in the right time.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Slot to bring to you before the year is out.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
But that's gonna be very interesting about the sister that
wants to talk about young people being pregnant and women
being pregnant and using drugs and don't understand the detriment
that that has on that unborn child as well as
your own being, your own self.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
So that's gonna be a very very interesting conversation.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
I talked to Pam about what did she think about that,
and she agreed that that would be a great conversation
because you will be surprised how many young women don't
understand the effect that using drugs and being pregnant has
on that unborn child. It is really something that you know,
(42:59):
we wanted to into and understand that it's just not good.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
So we'll talk about that.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
You see like this just a lack of information, Yeah,
that you be pregnant and annoyingly or annoying, Yeah, damage
your system and your life your child.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Yeah yeah, but you people need to understand using drugs period,
it's just not It's not good for the body.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
And then when you want to turn that off sometimes
it can be too late because you've already destroyed your
your your organs and your body. And you know you
want to look at it and say, was that high
worth that? No, no, it wasn't. So we're going to
talk about some of that.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
And so I am going to say that we love
intellectual radio dot Com. Right here at intellectual radio dot
com is where we uh get an opport tunity with
our producers mister Earl Winfrey and Wanda Bee, get an
(44:05):
opportunity to share our thoughts and our happy thoughts, things
that we might be struggling with, and things that are
good information for you to know about that can make
a change in your life young people. How I had
someone today that was talking to me and said that
she would like to hear how young people and we've
(44:29):
talked about the entitlement, but young people getting older but
still feel like it's okay to still live at home
with your parents and be irresponsible. You know, that's just
not good. And then older She mentioned that older people
still living with their parents not necessarily down on their luck,
(44:53):
but just don't want to be responsible enough to do
what they need to do to be on their own.
And you're talking about out thirty and forty and fifty
and still being at home or wanting to be at
home with their parents or grandparents or whatever. And this
was a subject that was brought to me that they
would like to hear more about that. And so that's
(45:13):
a that's a show that we're going to talk about too,
because you know, when you get older, you got to
find a way to be responsible enough to carry your
own weight and not lean still on your parents.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
I just don't get that.
Speaker 3 (45:29):
Well, then I can tell them, like my father told me.
I mean I was twelve years old. He said, so
where you're gonna live when you get get to be eighteen?
Speaker 1 (45:38):
And you was twelve and he told you that. So
your father didn't play.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
Yeah, but that's what you have to do.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
You have prepared choosing for life, but you had prepared
them for the world, right, and start early and wait
till they you know, excuse me, they twelve or thirteen
before you start teaching discipline.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Right, No, you got to start at two.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
That's a little young, but you're about right. You start
when they can understand and when they start talking.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Enough.
Speaker 4 (46:06):
The spirits are older than the age.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Yeah, because I know we got too.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
We got two great grand babies that definitely have old spirit,
especially Journey, Journey.
Speaker 4 (46:15):
Because you expect more of the world, expect get more.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
And that's true, and you let them know that and
know that you're looking and your watching, and it does
make a difference.
Speaker 4 (46:25):
What's smarter than you think?
Speaker 1 (46:26):
They're a whole lot smarter than we think. I don't, right,
we know, you know, you already know.
Speaker 4 (46:33):
I already know.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
Yeah, they can lie, I can look at the eye
and a two years old because you understand me, don't you?
Speaker 1 (46:41):
You really do, don't And they say, yeah, Papa, yeah
we do, and they really do.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
Because Molina in Journey, they super smart, They super smart
and Journey is a natural so so so we know
we got two beautiful great grand babies that are just
they they they just made five. Journey made five in
October and Molina made seven. And those some smart babies.
They really are exactly But their parents they don't lot,
(47:08):
they don't they they be on their education. And I
love that for them, I really do. So it's just
about making children understand.
Speaker 6 (47:17):
And you do.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
And you're absolutely right as you start out.
Speaker 4 (47:22):
Live life for your own, for your entertainment.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
Absolutely and that's why you are who you are today
because your father started you out at twelve.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
I mean you've been.
Speaker 4 (47:32):
Working through twelve. I had a job at twelve.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
You started working at twelve. Man, where were you working
at twelve? Working around the house and doing things, taking
care of your children, I mean your siblings.
Speaker 4 (47:49):
I been working ever since.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
And and this this sister that we know, that's a
beautiful system. Matter of fact, I'm gonna give her a
shout out. She works at Nissan in South Holland, and
I mean she she she be on it. I'm gonna
mention her and bring our bring our book. But she's
Joe Anne. She's a shop shop sister, boy. And if
(48:13):
you want to buy a car, you got somebody with
integrity and who's really really an awesome, awesome lady and
just asked for Joanne Nissan of South Holland. She can
get it done for you. And she's just a great sister.
That's what I'm talking about. And but the main thing
(48:33):
is she's not gonna rip you off. She's not in
it just for commission. She's in it to make sure
that you get in a car that you'll be very
happy with and not a car note off the roof.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
She's gonna do the best for you.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
But but what made me bring her up as well
is that and thanking her also for the support that
she gives Zimron Company. But she remembered when she saw Ed,
she remembered ed Ed was her her parents, paper boy.
That was unfrigging believable. We laughed at that and she
(49:09):
just me was like his face never changed and that
is what was So that was crazy. When she said that,
she absolutely said he was her parents and she and
and that was and it was his face that never changed.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
I know you don't know me, she said, yes, I do.
I've seen you before, so you you were you were
my great my parents, paperboy.
Speaker 4 (49:32):
The word you knew that. What is wrong with you girl?
You yeah, none of us nigga? She said, oh, I
remember because your faith had not changed.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
That was amazing.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Boy.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
We laughed at that. That was so amazing.
Speaker 4 (49:44):
I was ten, She said, I know, get straight.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
That was so funny.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
Boy.
Speaker 1 (49:54):
So that's just going to show you how people people
remember you and you never know.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
That's why they always say be careful because you never
know who knows you or who remembers you. Because a
friend of uh, that the dolorous pigeon that I was
talking about, she was Marie's school teacher and she saw
at Ed's party. She was, yeah, and she remember Marie
(50:19):
moving on and being becoming a principal.
Speaker 3 (50:23):
And you never know who you're going to be. Other
guy can be scared me. He says, he called call
me by name, Ed Sherman, right. I says, what I
don't know? You say, yeah, man, I know you have
been knowing you since sixty eight. He said you you
were worked at McDonald's on thirty fifth Street. I said,
I don't know you, man, He said, yeah, I know you.
(50:44):
How do people remember you like that? And I'm bad
with name. I'll forget it. I'd never forget a face,
but I don't remember people's names, and they just yeah,
embarrassing when they know you and you don't know who
they are.
Speaker 4 (50:57):
Heyah, I don't know who you mean.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
But that's wonderful though. That's that's always a blessing when
people remember you. This it's all about spirit, like we
always say, that's right, it's all about spirit. So on
that note, you know that ours is gone. So we

Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
