What happens when you refuse to dim your light for others' comfort? When you set firm boundaries without apology? When you decide to keep winning despite the whispers of doubt around you?
YouTube superstar Terrell Grice joins me to share his remarkable journey from Southern church choir singer to creator of "The Terrell Show" with 2.2 million subscribers. With his trademark warmth and wisdom, Terrell reveals how his talk show empire began as "one giant accident" – a divine assignment he wasn't initially seeking but was perfectly prepared to fulfill.
"How you can shut your haters down immediately is you keep on winning," Terrell explains, offering a masterclass in maintaining your stride when others hope to see you stumble. His refreshing perspective on success comes from someone who's lived it – creating his own lane when traditional paths weren't available and refusing to compromise his authenticity along the way.
Our conversation takes a vulnerable turn when we discuss the unexpected loneliness that accompanies achievement. "It got lonely fast," Terrell admits, sharing how relationships transform when your star rises and the painful necessity of setting boundaries with people you once considered close. His candid reflections on therapy and protecting his peace offer valuable guidance for anyone navigating similar waters.
Terrell also delivers a powerful message to listeners struggling with self-confidence: "You are beautiful... It is not like I need to do this thing to become it. You are." This affirmation challenges our tendency to postpone self-acceptance until reaching some external standard.
His parting wisdom perfectly encapsulates our time together: "Take the time to be grateful for the answers to the prayers you prayed yesterday." Before rushing to the next challenge, acknowledge how far you've already come. Remember, "Being great is not about proving anybody wrong. It's about proving yourself right."

You know what I'm saying?
We're not from the same cloth,to be honest.
I mean, the positivity that youexude is what we need more of.
You can never have too muchpositive energy, especially in
times like this.
We're not even going to get.
You know what I'm saying.
I look to my left, I look to myright.

We got to speak life intopeople and you do that I'm so
proud of you listen.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Thank you so much.
I am so proud of you becauseyou, like myself, started from
humble beginnings.
Like you, you are a southern,southern boy, like I am a
southern girl grew up in inchurch, singing in people's
people's choir, singing amen,hallelujah, amen you you.
(07:35):
We grew up the same way and youlearned these musical techniques
and you use the gifts that weregiven to you and you created
your own lane.
You created your own reality.
You could have listened to allof the haters.
You could have listened to thename sayers.
(07:58):
You could have said, well, yeah, y'all, y'all right, maybe I
should just do gospel, maybe Ishould just do this.
But you said that's not what Iwas called to do.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Amen, you've been reading my diary.

Don't you start shouting.
Don't you start shouting.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Because I will.
Ok, we in trying times.
I'm looking for this to shoutAll right, but what you said is
so absolutely accurate.
I think that you know, growingup in the South and growing up
in church, I like to say I wouldhave never chosen a different
childhood.
It exposed me to so much.
(08:39):
First of all, church is funny.
Ok, growing up in church was itwas half salvation, half comedy
store.
I love just sitting in one ofthe front of the rows.
You know, my grandmother wasthe Sunday school teacher, the
minister.
She stayed late, she cooked thechicken, she did everything.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
So I was there so many hats you know what I'm
saying.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I was there four out of seven days a week doing
something and it was just so funto see community and that's
where I learned the foundationof love and what it means to
help people and be a light inpeople's life.
And, of course, that's where Ilearned the music.
You, too, I heard your themesong.
Let's not blow past that Themesong sound good, miss Ma'am.
(09:21):
Yes, I heard it.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
I love it.
Oh, my God.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
You did great, beautiful voice.
But that's what I'm saying.
When you go up in the church,you, you, it's almost like when
I went to high school and stuff,I was surprised to find out
that people could not sing.
I just thought it was somethingthat everybody learned how to
do, like can you, can you talk?
Well, you must be able to sayand hold that note oh, you can't
(11:04):
do that.
Oh, you got to go to Cindy'sservice, were you not at choir
practice?
What did you miss?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And know how to sing alto soprano tenor, because I
can do all three.
Come on and know how toharmonize and, like you, got to
know it yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Because when we say you got to fill in for them, and
know every word and know everypart, know every part.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So what.
Okay or you're going to getpopped In the back of your and
that's the worst type of hurtwhen they get you right here and
it's like damn what, whatbrought you?
Like, what made you because alot of people will say, well,
what brought you from there tohere like what made you say, let
(12:02):
me do my talk show, or or wasthat even a thing?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Can I tell you, alethea, it was all one giant
accident.
I did not plan this whatsoever.
I had my heart set out on beinga producer and I still produce.
I produce my own show, but Iwas never, ever running to be in
front of the camera.
I went to film school to be amusic video director, ended up
(12:30):
becoming an editor.
Things happen as you learn.
I don't want to do that, nomore.
I like editing.
Then I moved to LA to continuedoing that and ended up in
reality TV.
I'm like casting.
I was not on nobody's show.
Please let me get that.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Because I was like casting, I was not on nobody's
show.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Please, let me get that.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Because I was like Iggy, look it up right now.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I was doing casting and then I became a producer for
reality TV and then, throughoutlearning all of that, all those
different skills, I'm like youknow what I feel like I've
learned so much that I can startmy own thing.
I would like to start my ownshow, and music has always been
just the underbelly of my entirelife, no matter what I was
doing.
Music was my fallback, was mycomfort zone, my escapism.
(13:15):
So I wanted to do a show aboutmusic, you know.
But I had no plans on being thehost.
As a matter of fact, when myteam was, when we were figuring
out how to produce the show, wehad full-blown auditions, we had
casting calls to find the hostof what is now the Terrell Show,
and the way that I was so picky, baby, I didn't want, no, I was
(13:37):
like nope, nope, nope, notright, not right, not right, not
enough, there's too much ofthis.
I was just putting my littleteam through it.
And these are professionalcasting people, by the way,
they're putting people on theVoice on American Idol.
They do this, and I was givingthem hell.
So eventually we were like allright, terrell, since you're so
damn picky, you get on thecamera, show us what you're
(13:59):
looking for and then we will putthat out and see if that
attracts the energy you want.
Well, we we did that a coupleof times and I guess I'm still
doing that because I'm still onthis camera and I am still
producing example episodes.
I'm still looking for the host.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Just kidding, no, no do you want me to tell you why
this is?
Sometimes we don't listen likewe read me because we we always
ask god I just need to hear aword from you, and then when god
gives us the word.
We do like, like we can't hearhim.
(14:38):
God gave torell an assignment.
He did not give Terrell anassignment to pass the
assignment on to somebody else.
He gave Terrell an assignmentbecause when God has something
for you, it is for who?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It is for me, and it's not for anybody else.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It's not for anybody else.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And this is why you are now on season seven
meanwhile, thinking I was gonnaget past season two.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
At the end of every season I was like, oh, I did my
big one.
That was it now.
Let's go on back to our nicecozy life, my cubicle or my
corner office at fox, let's justgo ahead and go back.
And then it just kept gettingbigger.
The opportunities kept coming.
I kept walking in the purpose,no matter how rugged it got.
I was, you know, at first itwas giving nice pavement, then
(15:36):
things started to happen.
It was giving cobblestone, thenit was giving dirt road, then
it's giving off-road, then it'llbe paved for a little bit of
time.
A little more pavement, feel alittle safe.
Then it get rocky again.
And I think it is nothing but myfaith that has kept me walking,
no matter the terrain, becausethis is not easy.
The way that we do this show,with all these big stars and big
(15:58):
moments.
These shows usually take a lotof people and it's like four or
five of us, and it is such arespected show as well.
People come right in the middleof their press runs.
They've left me to go to JimmyKimmel on the same day, so it's
just like it's got to be nothingbut God and a testament to no
(16:20):
matter what you were sayingearlier, no matter what it looks
like in front of you, you justgot to keep walking.
You ain't even got to walk fast.
Just one foot in front of theother.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Because the race is not given to the swift.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I'm about to get up.
Where's the tambourine?
I'm about to Give me one more.
Do it again.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I mean like this Listen.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Your journey is your journey and only you could take
this.
And when you said I'm walkingin my purpose, you said I'm
walking in my purpose, meaningthis is what I was supposed to
do.
No matter how hard it is, I'mgoing to endure, I'm going to
(17:06):
keep fighting because this iswhat I'm supposed to do.
Walk in your greatness, evenwhen people say you can't do it.
Let's talk about the ones thatsay oh, you know who they are
because they will refer to yourthings as his list show.
(17:29):
Oh, you know Torella shows.
You know it was like cute orwhatever, but I mean you know
his list show.
How did you deal with that?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Showed him the receipts.
This little show didn't savecareers.
This little show didn't revivecareers.
This little show didn't turnpeople's album singles upside
down, Wasn't charting and look,there is some chart now.
Oh my God, Look at you.
Talk of the town.
You got to let the work speakfor itself.
Sometimes I don't like to betoo loud on me.
I like to.
I like to put out the work andlet it be loud for me.
(18:10):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
People don't want that back.
Run that back, run that backBecause somebody missed it.
Somebody missed it.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Let me give it again.
I don't like to be loud on me,I like to put the work out and
let it be loud for me, becausethat's what it is all about At
the end of the day.
I know, who I am and I know myskill set.
I know my talents.
Me and God talk about it allthe time, because sometimes he
has to remind me.
(18:41):
He has to remind me, but what Ido like to do is utilize those
skills and present them.
We're public facing, so it'snot like our work is just
between me and myself.
It is judged.
I'm putting it out there to bejudged and the best feeling that
(19:02):
I get is when I put somethingout there and somebody has to go
all right, he did that, he didthat.
You know what I mean.
It's like yes, that's what Idid, thank you, and I'm going to
do it again.
As long as God is willing, I'mgoing to do it again.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Can I tell you I am extremely I don't know how many
times you've heard this and youdon't know me from a can of
paint, but sometimes people needto hear I am proud of you.
Sometimes I am proud of youbecause some people would have
(19:40):
given up.
Some people would said this ismy big one, that's it.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, it crosses the mind.
As things come up and you'rechallenged, it is human nature
to want to regain your comfort.
Go back to the place in whichyou were not feeling challenged
and, um, you know, I just haveto remind myself okay, 12,.
(20:12):
As this show gets bigger,you're going to have more
challenges and the show is notgoing to not get bigger.
Okay, the show is only going togrow because we're we have a
show that has purpose.
It has me, it does, and it isuplifting people.
And as I'm walking about thestreets and people walk up to me
and tell me what the show isdoing, it is nothing but
reaffirming that the show isimportant for people and it
(20:34):
ain't got to be important toeverybody, but it's important to
the ones that it needs to beimportant for.
That's right.
When the show grows, morechallenges will be bestowed upon
you and you just got to lock in.
You got to lock in becausegiving up is so easy to do.
And I want to say this tooBreaks are fine, breaks are okay
(20:57):
, they're encouraged.
Taking steps back doesn't meanyou're losing progress.
You're just taking a step backto assess.
You're like, okay.
Step back to assess.
You're like, okay, I got thishere and I got that there.
What you don't want to do isthrow your hands completely up
and lose all that progress thatyou spent years doing, because
the thing about time is it keepsgoing and you can never get it
(21:19):
back.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
So if you give, up.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
you have to look at it as in like did you waste it?
You might have wasted it.
You can't waste it.
You'd already.
You're invested now, baby.
Okay, this blue wall is here,so you better figure it out.
It ain't going nowhere, itain't going nowhere, so you got
to keep moving.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You mentioned challenges several times and I
know for me and for other peoplethat are in our niche and do
what we do and do what you do,success comes at a price and
sometimes it can be very lonelyat the top and people who you
(22:01):
thought was right, like I'm herefor you, like that's my dog go
ahead go out you.
You realize that.
Oh well, now that I'm here andyou not, and I'm here, we not as
(22:22):
cool as what I thought we werelike.
We not at the level that Ithought that we were.
And now I have to set aboundary, which, which is a bad
word.
I have to set a boundary, whichis something I never thought I
would have to do with you, sincesomebody who I called my friend
(22:43):
, somebody who I called myfriend, somebody who I called my
brother.
Now a boundary has to becreated.
How is that, when you want totake these people with you, you
want to be that friend, you wantto be that brother, you want to
(23:05):
be that person, but you'reeverybody can't go with you.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
You see me blinking real fast, cause you about to
make me cry.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Everybody on my show cries at some point.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
My God, it's um.
It just happens to be somethingthat I'm currently going
through.
That is very hard, and you knowI try to be as transparent and
as vulnerable as I possibly canbe and you know that that what
you're saying is just hitting umbecause it is lonely, and it
got lonely fast.
(23:44):
Actually, it wasn't somethingthat, uh, necessarily crept up,
um, and then it just gotlonelier over time.
And the thing that gives mepeace is protecting, learning
how to better protect my spaceand guard my heart, because,
(24:05):
coming from where we're,southern people, we're very
trustworthy, very forgiving,very open people, and those
things are not the best traitsIf you want to navigate this
crazy world of entertainment.
It's good to have, but you willbe susceptible to people taking
advantage of you and for lackof a better term doing you wrong
(24:28):
, and it can be hurtful andthere is no way to avoid it.
You just have to understandthat you're called for a purpose
and a plan and with thatterritory comes jealousy, anger
(24:49):
and a real usury spirit.
They get a real usury spirit onthem and the only thing that
you can do to keep yourselftogether is say I'm doing it
right, this is just the price ofit, I'm not doing anything
wrong, because I used to bereally hard on myself.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I used to think I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
I must be doing this wrong and this wrong and this
wrong.
I must be the drama, becauseit's always somebody you know
and I had to go to therapy forthat, to be honest with you
Still in it, just trying tofigure out, lord, how do I
continue to grow and continue tolove what I do?
Because people can really pissyou out of your passion if you
(25:32):
let them, and you can't let thathappen.
Okay, because people are people, your passion is your passion,
those two things.
You can't let them affect eachother you know.
So I've been working on it,friend.
I'm not even going to tell youI got a good nugget to tell you
and to tell your audience how toget through it.
It's a work in progress.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
It is through it.
It's a work in progress.
It is and I'm gonna justpiggyback off of what you said
because we have been taught tobe nice.
We've been taught to beaccommodating this.
This is what we've been taught.
We've been taught not to rockthe boat, but guess what?
The boat sinks because you'recarrying too many people with
(26:16):
you.
The boat sinks because you'recarrying too many people with
you who do, who does not respectyour time, your energy or your
peace, and that peace ispriceless.
Yeah, your energy is priceless,and if you carrying too many
people on your ship, that shipis going to sink.
(26:36):
I always ask people whose peacemeans more, whose happiness
means more, and in that process,you have to let some people go
because you mean more if I ain'tgot no peace for myself, I
ain't got nothing to give you,that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
I ain't got no happiness to give you if I'm
miserable.
So I've been getting better atit.
Also, when you are a generallypositive person, the weight just
gets thrown on you, right?
Because everybody needs you toinject some positivity into
their lives, and sometimes wecan deplete ourselves in that
(27:17):
process.
So you got to be careful.
You got to be careful andlearning every day how to take
care of myself as much as I tryto take care of others.
It's something I'm going tostruggle with until the day I am
called home.
It is just in my nature to givemore than I receive.
(27:38):
So you just got to find thatbalance and keep it pushing.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Listen, sometimes finding balance is a very
difficult thing because, justlike you, like, I want to be
here for you.
I want to be here for you.
I want to do this.
I also want to take care ofmyself, and we know that
self-care is the the best care.
But sometimes that's hard, it'shard to take care of yourself
(28:09):
when you're used to being thestrong one I've always been
strong everybody I'm always totake care, especially when you
reach a certain level of success, then there are expectations
that come along with it.
Like you are obligated to takecare of me, no, no, not, no, not
(28:31):
.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I am obligated to take care of me.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yes, that's true, but it's also, you know, I love it.
I love being in the position tobe able to help.
You know and you know I do alot of stuff very much in
private that I don't you know.
People see what I do on theshow, right, how I am uplifting
people and they'd uplift me too,by the way, but how I'm trying
(28:59):
to make sure that if you wereupset or sad or down when you
clicked on the video, by the endof it you feel a little bit
better.
I love having that opportunityto do that, but sometimes late
at night I just be like woocover me Lord.
Cover me, I'm tired.
(29:19):
I'm also a Virgo.
I'm a work.
Okay, One thing about it wegonna work.
So it's a lot to juggle, butyou know can't complain.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
But you, you are doing the Lord's work because
your show is positive and everyepisode I watch, it does not
matter what time of the day, itdoes not matter if it's at two
o'clock in the morning.
To to rail, I used to waituntil a new episode dropped,
(29:54):
like, like, like, like.
I would stay up at night andwait because I knew that it was
going to be something that myspirit needed.
You always left the showfeeling better than when you
started it.
This is, this is what you putout.
(30:18):
You put out that type ofpositivity that you don't even
realize the souls of people thatyou touch through music,
through your joy.
You bring me joy.
What watching other people sing, because I'm just like, what,
what?
What is his reaction gonna be?
What is he gonna do?
(30:40):
Like, what is it.
Yes, fall out of this, it'd bereal too now I know that you had
a a wide array of people come.
What are your three favoritemoments, or three favorite?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
oh, oh, you can't do it.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Now listen, I don't have thegreatest memory so I'm sure I'm
going to leave zone out, but Iwill try my best.
I think one that always comesto mind is Cynthia Erivo's
(31:21):
episode.
That episode was it felt likean out-of-body experience, if
that makes sense, when she'ssaying I am here, listen, right
here in my face, I'm going to behonest with you.
I did not know what to do.
(31:42):
I got so hot, my body got hotand I just started crying.
Yes, you know what I mean.
Like that moment to witnesssomebody's talent like that.
And her talent is more than justsinging.
She's a beautiful voice andactress, two-time Oscar nominee,
all that.
But the way that she emotes,the way that she tells a story
(32:05):
through her instrument issomething I have not experienced
.
Often that moment hands down.
That's got to be one.
This is tough, okay.
Two, I'm gonna say oh, I haveto say finding my best friend,
coco jones, oh my god.
(32:30):
Well, I actually I don't knowif I've ever said this before,
but I was not super familiarwith who she was before she came
on the show.
I learned about her throughpeople telling me you should get
this girl named Coco Jones onthe show, because by the time
she stepped on the Disney trackI was already a little bit aged
(32:51):
out.
She's about five years youngerthan me, so I did not really
know who she was.
So I researched her.
I was like, oh, she seems likea cool person, let's bring her
on.
And on that particular day thatshe came I wasn't feeling my
best.
I wasn't.
You know, with these, with theseinterview shows, as you know,
there are sometimes booked weeks, if not months, in advance, so
(33:12):
you don't know if you're goingto be feeling your best by the
time that the episode is beingproduced.
But it's on the calendar.
You got to get up, got to go towork, so she came in and I'm
like, oh, my goodness, how am Igoing to get through this?
And the way that, as soon asthat camera started rolling, the
way that she lifted me, Ialmost felt like she could feel
(33:34):
that I needed to be lifted inthat episode.
Usually I was doing all thelifting and she came in and she
helped me out so much that daythat when I finished the video I
felt better.
I felt like the audience memberfor the first time on that
episode and when she left.
I said we're going to do thisagain.
(33:55):
We're going to do somethingtogether, and that's how T and
Coco, my other show, was birthed.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yes, she had me at something yes.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
She is an incredible singer.
We did the concert recently.
Oh, it's just so many things,but let me see, let me give you
one more yes, one more.
Let's give you one that youwere not going to expect.
Okay, maybe you will expectthis, but I think at the end of
(34:30):
season six, when I had thepleasure of hosting Kelly
Rowland, michelle Williams,latoya and Latavia on the show
in the same week, that mighthave ate a little bit Like you.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I was, I was like you know what.
I was like Terrell is reallythat dude.
I was like that can't, can't atthat, not not at that moment,
because it was several momentswhere I was like can't nobody do
what he doing.
Moments where I was like can'tnobody do what he doing, can't
(35:17):
nobody come and try to replicatethis, because it nobody will
ever be able to do this like you.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
It's wild, it's, it's such a um.
You know, I always uh.
Whenever somebody asks me likehow did you do it?
Or like if you have any tipsfor me, my answer is always the
simplest answer you got to stickto what you know.
Don't try to go out there anddo some research on what's
(35:42):
trending or research on what yousee somebody pop and be like I
want to do that.
That was not God's plan for you.
That is not the purpose that hehas on your life.
You have to keep what makes youunique and exploit that.
Okay, I'm from the South, Ilove my liquor.
(36:03):
I'm a homosexual, I love Jesus.
All right, all wrapped in oneperson.
If I try to diminish one thingfor the other and you're a
vegetarian, period okay, oh no,not a vegetarian, what'd you say
?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
A pussitarian?
That's what I am.
Oh, period, ah.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Oh, that took me home .
I love it so much, so you getit.
And it's like if I were to tryto be like okay, you know what
the audience might not like thisso much.
Let me pull back on this itwould have not hit the same.
You are all these thingswrapped up in one, because it's
what makes you unique.
People want to watch you foryou.
They don't want to watch you asa copy of somebody else,
(36:57):
because they can just go to thesource and get it how it's
supposed to be okay god okay huh, what happened?
Speaker 1 (37:06):
okay god, okay I, I, I hear you Was it for you.
Because, it'd be for me too,because just yesterday, just
yesterday, somebody said well,maybe you need to try and do
this.
Well, maybe you need to dosomething different.
Well, maybe you need to not beAlethea, when everybody has
(37:28):
always known me to be me, and italmost made me be like, well,
maybe I do need to do somethingdifferent, maybe I do need to
change who I am.
But then here you come saying,nah, like, stay true to who you
(37:51):
are, because this, this is whatpeople want.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
People want you.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
People want you.
I always like to say this Ilove advice, I love, you know,
feedback, constructive criticism, I love it.
But at the end of the day, ifanything that is brought to my
table, brought to my desk, andit's going to change my heart,
it's going to change who I'vebeen since I've been on this
planet.
It's going to change how I seethe world.
(38:17):
That's not advice for me,that's advice for you.
That's how you see the world,so you need to go find somebody
who's doing it like that and getyour life Okay.
I love your advice Cause youwant to see me when I assume I
need a something, I need asomething.
I don't think closed ears doanything for anybody.
(38:38):
I'm going to listen but whileI'm listening, if it changes who
I am in my DNA and how I seethe world, then I know that
advice it wasn't for me, it wasfor you and I want you to live
your life.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Baby.
I hope that somebody other thanme received this, because I
thank you for that.
That was confirmation.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Come on, we're going to have to have a good old talk
after this.
While we are on the subject ofgiving people what they want to
hear, we are in a segment of theshow called Hype Me Up.
My listeners either put aquestion or a comment that they
(39:32):
need help with and you get tohelp me hype them up.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I love this.
Okay, cool, cool, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You get to help me hype them up, ignatius, what is
the question of the day that wehave?
I want to say that she saidthat I am not confident about
who I am.
(40:02):
And how do I get confidence?
I can't even go outside becauseI'm ashamed of how I look.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Oh my goodness, Do you want to go first, or should
I?
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Since you are the guest go ahead.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Oh my goodness, it breaks my heart to read it, to
be honest, because when I thinkabout beauty, oh my, I don't.
There's no box.
There's no box that you can putbeauty in and be like this is
what beautiful is.
When you wake up in the morning, I speak for myself.
When I wake up in the morning,this eye is crested shut.
(40:52):
This is the drool that iscoming down.
The last reject Wig shifted tothe side.
If I got the throw out, it'sflat.
Sometime I done did too much atthe buffet.
I'm walking a little slow,walking a little heavy.
And you know what I'm stillgoing to say every time you, the
finest nigga I have ever seenin my life.
(41:14):
Okay, in my life I ain't neverseen nobody like you.
I know, and I'd like to saythis baby, everybody, I don't
know of a single person that hasthought of themselves like you.
Know what?
I don't feel beautiful today,or I don't feel beautiful in
this moment.
That is very natural.
But the the word beautiful, youare beautiful, you are.
(41:38):
It is not like I need to dothis thing to become it.
You are.
That it's synonymous, it's thesame.
Okay, if your name is, let'ssay, your name is Jennifer,
jennifer beauty, it's the same.
Okay, you walk out that doorand you walk with pride.
Okay, because some people walkpast somebody who got that same
crust and they eye in themorning and they thought they
(42:00):
couldn't get it out either.
Okay, we all go through thingsand in terms of the word, the
confidence word confidence takestime.
You have to learn it.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
Some people, I will say, have a natural confidence.
I did it.
I had to learn how to reallylove every piece of me.
Ok, so don't even feel likeit's something that we're gifted
with and that you can't learnand that you're never going to
(42:31):
get it.
You just have to be kind toyourself and know that we are
all in this together, andsometimes it's going to be up,
sometimes it's going to be down,but as long as you have one
more good moment, one more goodminute, one more good hour than
you had the day before, you'redoing good.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
So let me so how, terrell, come on my show and out
positivity queen me, oh shit.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
I'm just.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Because here I am like You're done, because I'm
what.
Speaker 3 (43:12):
You bring it out of me.
You bring it out of me.
I'm just like this.
Speaker 4 (43:23):
Oh my God, I can't you set the table.
That's what I'm saying.
When you set a table like thisfor people to come on and be
able to have an openconversation, it's a tough
question, right?
It's a real question.
That question is not unique.
It is probably more proper thanthe opposite.
So these conversations needplatforms like this so people
can really get into it.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yes, Well, girl, listen what I am going to tell
you.
First of all, girl, baby, comehere, come, come, come, come
close.
Let me talk to you and look inyour eyeball Honey, you are
everything and everything is you.
Sexy has no size chart.
Sexy has no age limit.
(44:03):
If you think sexy, you are sexy.
If you think beautiful, you arebeautiful.
What are you telling yourselfthat you are?
Are you telling yourself thatyou are?
Listen, god created you in hisimage.
Just sit right there rightthere, that's perfect he's
(44:25):
perfect.
So what does that make you?
If you were created from thesame canvas, then what does?
That make you, it makes perfect.
It makes you perfect in everysense of the word.
So you do not have to changeyourself for the world.
The world needs to changeitself to adapt to you.
Speaker 4 (44:48):
Yes, period.
You did just fine.
You didn't need me girl, please.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
I love that, yes, and don't wait for nobody else to
tell you that you're beautiful.
Tell yourself, you do not needvalidation from anybody nobody
say this all the time the onlything that I will ever need
validated in my life is myparking and what I'm gonna love
(45:18):
you for the rest of my life.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
That line is so good.
Oh, that line is so good.
Now, if I say that line, I'mgonna credit you okay, because
that's good, I mean I'm dropping, dropping little nugget,
nuggets when I can.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
good, I'm just like this is just me all day and all
night.
Now what I'm noticing, becauseI was low-key hating, but I'm,
I'm, I'm, I'm gonna let you talk, talk, talk about, wait, let me
, let me, let me do like the,the like haters do your, your,
your little background, littlebackground, what's?
Speaker 4 (46:08):
this is new and we are getting the exclusive,
because this background is forwhat?
So the troll show has beensynonymous with the blue wall.
Since the troll show started,right, correct and what's
hilarious, and people don'treally know that.
This happens to me all the timeand I've had this idea since
the first time it happened,since, I think, maybe season
three.
I ran into someone there likeTerrell, I would love to do your
(46:30):
show, but I cannot sing, likeI'm not ever going to go up
there and play in your audiencespace like that.
I cannot sing, play in youraudience, things like that I
cannot say.
And this was an actress whocame up to me and said this and
I was like you know, one day I'mgoing to figure out how to
invite more, you know, notablepeople, friends who don't work
(46:51):
in the music industry, but wecan still have a little nice
conversation and, you know,catch up and spill some tea.
So for the last four years I'vebeen trying to figure out what
that looks like and here we are.
So this is my other set forlike the supplemental part of
the Terrell show in which, ifyou cannot hold the notes, you
sit in this chair, okay, infront of this slightly blue wall
(47:11):
, and then we'll haveconversations.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
I can hum and I can make it sound like something.
So, yeah, so I can, I can comeon there.
Yes, come on, and I'm comingbefore I let you go listen.
I have enjoyed having you.
I hope that this is not yourlast time and I it brings me joy
(47:41):
because I know how busy you areand I'm going to try to get
through this that you came on myshow not knowing who I was, not
knowing how big I was.
I don't have all these numbers,I'm not famous per se, but just
the fact that you took time andyou said, ok, I am going to
(48:03):
come on her show.
You have no idea, I'm going toremember this for the rest of my
life.
Speaker 3 (48:13):
I had to.
Speaker 4 (48:14):
You are absolutely stunning.
I watched when it came in andthey said, like this is what you
know, this show would like todo, this podcast like to do.
They showed me a couple ofthings.
I'm like yes, immediately, yes,immediately.
Yes, because we need you.
(48:34):
We need you to continuespeaking life into people.
We need you to continuespreading a message that you
understand that it's popular tobe negative.
You understand that if you wantthe click, a little click bait
would help, but that does notserve your heart.
(48:58):
It doesn't serve anybody'sheart, and I tend to gravitate
towards people who lead withtheir heart, and that is what
you do Always.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
When.
Speaker 4 (49:07):
I first started out, I had people who came on my show
when I didn't have this, thatand the third because they
believed in me.
So it's a cycle.
You're only missing a blessingwhen you decline stuff like this
.
You are doing God's work, sodeclining you will be declining
(49:33):
him.
So what we are going to do is,if I can do my part to make sure
people understand you and findyou and will follow you and the
who are you following.
Okay, so that means I helppeople come closer to him
through you, through him.
It all works together, okay.
(49:55):
So when you walk in yourpurpose, I'm going to walk side
by side, I'm going to walk thereright with you, so you keep
going.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
You hear me, you're not going to make me cry on my
damn show, get him off.
Speaker 4 (50:07):
Yes, yes, once you hit that button, I'm staying
right here.
Yes, yes, my pleasure, it's afantastic show you keep going.
It's a fantastic show.
You keep going.
It's going to be bigger thanyou imagine oh okay, I'm a
gangster.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
Oh okay, so before we , you tell everybody where to
find you all the things.
The last segment of the show iscalled Pass it On.
We had my last guest, michelleGomez, an amazing actress.
(50:45):
Her Pass it On message wassimply this Keep it simple,
stupid.
Speaker 4 (50:55):
I love that I say that all the time.
Keep it simple, stupid, simple,stupid.
I love that I said it all thetime.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
So what is your pass it on message?
Either for some somebody thatis listening or to the next
guest that comes on.
What is a message that you wantto pass on?
I'll be getting y'all.
Speaker 4 (51:23):
This is good.
Okay, I would say this Take thetime to be grateful for the
answers to the prayers youprayed yesterday.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Oh, say that one more time, Because somebody this
went over somebody's head.
Say it again, please.
Speaker 2 (51:44):
Take some time to be grateful for the answers to the
prayers you prayed yesterday orthe day before that or the year
before that, because sometimeswe forget that our prayer was
answered, because now we have anew prayer.
Speaker 4 (52:05):
But you got to stay grateful, gracious, humble,
because you are in a better spotand if you aren't, you will be.
So when you get that, eventhough you have a new prayer or
a new problem, take some time tobe grateful for those prayers
that you were on your kneespraying that have been answered,
(52:25):
before you complain about yournext prayers.
That's still on the way.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
Listen, y'all sometimes things look dark.
Sometimes things look dark Fordaylight saving time.
I woke up and it was darkoutside.
I'm thinking it's like midnightor something.
I look at my watch it's stilldaytime.
So just because it looks darkoutside does not mean that it is
(52:58):
actually dark.
It's still light.
Baby, you got to make it thatway.
Just because you see darknessoutside does not mean that there
is darkness inside of you.
Amen, there is darkness insideof your situation.
You create the light.
Speaker 4 (53:16):
Amen, and I'm taking that one with me.
God is good.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
So can you please tell everybody all things,
terrell, where to find you, whatis coming up next?
Everything, that is all you.
Speaker 4 (53:36):

, can you please introduceyourself?
Like you've had people fromKelly Clarkson to Layla Hathaway
(05:33):
to Kiki Palmer, like you've had, like it's.
So please tell us who you areand what you do.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Baby, I just had to keep it real short and sweet.
My name is Terrell Grice and Iam God's favorite.
Okay, apparently.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Apparently.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It'll take too long.
Wait, wait, wait, huh, run thatback.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Who are you?
My name is Terrell and I justhappen to be God's favorite.
Now you got to take that upwith him.
Okay, I didn't choose me, hechose me.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Because when you choose yourself, you ain't got
to wait for nobody else tochoose you.
When you know who you are, thennobody else has to tell you who
you are.
Who are you.
You just told yourself and theworld exactly who you are, so
you don't have to wait forpermission to be, anything else
(06:29):
than exactly who you are youbetter come on this.
This is the type of energy Ilike almost you know what I'm
saying.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
You know what I'm saying?
We're not from the same cloth,to be honest.
I mean, the positivity that youexude is what we need more of.
You can never have too muchpositive energy, especially in
times like this.
We're not even going to get.
You know what I'm saying.
I look to my left, I look to myright.
(06:58):
It's negativity.
I can't live like that, neithercan I?
I'm in a voice.
We got to speak life intopeople and you do that I'm so
proud of you listen.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Thank you so much.
I am so proud of you becauseyou, like myself, started from
humble beginnings.
Like you, you are a southern,southern boy, like I am a
southern girl grew up in inchurch, singing in people's
people's choir, singing amen,hallelujah, amen you you.
(07:35):
We grew up the same way and youlearned these musical techniques
and you use the gifts that weregiven to you and you created
your own lane.
You created your own reality.
You could have listened to allof the haters.
You could have listened to thename sayers.
(07:58):
You could have said, well, yeah, y'all, y'all right, maybe I
should just do gospel, maybe Ishould just do this.
But you said that's not what Iwas called to do.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Amen, you've been reading my diary.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Don't you start shouting.
Don't you start shouting.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Because I will.
Ok, we in trying times.
I'm looking for this to shoutAll right, but what you said is
so absolutely accurate.
I think that you know, growingup in the South and growing up
in church, I like to say I wouldhave never chosen a different
childhood.
It exposed me to so much.
(08:39):
First of all, church is funny.
Ok, growing up in church was itwas half salvation, half comedy
store.
I love just sitting in one ofthe front of the rows.
You know, my grandmother wasthe Sunday school teacher, the
minister.
She stayed late, she cooked thechicken, she did everything.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
So I was there so many hats you know what I'm
saying.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I was there four out of seven days a week doing
something and it was just so funto see community and that's
where I learned the foundationof love and what it means to
help people and be a light inpeople's life.
And, of course, that's where Ilearned the music.
You, too, I heard your themesong.
Let's not blow past that Themesong sound good, miss Ma'am.
(09:21):
Yes, I heard it.
Don't act like that, wasn't you?
I heard it.
Don't act like that, wasn't you?
I heard you.
All right, we're going to seeyou on the wall next.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I'm coming and I'm coming because listen, that has
always been a dream of mine.
Like, please don't.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
We can make it, we can figure it out, sorrell
please, please, don't have myheart beating out my chest.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all heard me.

Okay, you got 11 seconds.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Huh, damn it.
Unbreak my heart.
Say you love me again, undothis hurt you cause.
When heart say you love meagain, undo this hurt you caused
.
When you walked out the doorand I walked out of my life.
Under all these tears I criedso many nights honey break my
(10:23):
heart, my heart, my heart Okay.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
You better not put Ms Braxton out of business.
Don't do that.
She's got shows to do.
She's got shows to do.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
No warming up.
Okay, that is just me.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I love it.
Oh, my God.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
You did great, beautiful voice.
But that's what I'm saying.
When you go up in the church,you, you, it's almost like when
I went to high school and stuff,I was surprised to find out
that people could not sing.
I just thought it was somethingthat everybody learned how to
do, like can you, can you talk?
Well, you must be able to sayand hold that note oh, you can't
(11:04):
do that.
Oh, you got to go to Cindy'sservice, were you not at choir
practice?
What did you miss?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And know how to sing alto soprano tenor, because I
can do all three.
Come on and know how toharmonize and, like you, got to
know it yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Because when we say you got to fill in for them, and
know every word and know everypart, know every part.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So what.
Okay or you're going to getpopped In the back of your and
that's the worst type of hurtwhen they get you right here and
it's like damn what, whatbrought you?
Like, what made you because alot of people will say, well,
what brought you from there tohere like what made you say, let
(12:02):
me do my talk show, or or wasthat even a thing?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Can I tell you, alethea, it was all one giant
accident.
I did not plan this whatsoever.
I had my heart set out on beinga producer and I still produce.
I produce my own show, but Iwas never, ever running to be in
front of the camera.
I went to film school to be amusic video director, ended up
(12:30):
becoming an editor.
Things happen as you learn.
I don't want to do that, nomore.
I like editing.
Then I moved to LA to continuedoing that and ended up in
reality TV.
I'm like casting.
I was not on nobody's show.
Please let me get that.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Because I was like casting, I was not on nobody's
show.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Please, let me get that.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Because I was like Iggy, look it up right now.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I was doing casting and then I became a producer for
reality TV and then, throughoutlearning all of that, all those
different skills, I'm like youknow what I feel like I've
learned so much that I can startmy own thing.
I would like to start my ownshow, and music has always been
just the underbelly of my entirelife, no matter what I was
doing.
Music was my fallback, was mycomfort zone, my escapism.
(13:15):
So I wanted to do a show aboutmusic, you know.
But I had no plans on being thehost.
As a matter of fact, when myteam was, when we were figuring
out how to produce the show, wehad full-blown auditions, we had
casting calls to find the hostof what is now the Terrell Show,
and the way that I was so picky, baby, I didn't want, no, I was
(13:37):
like nope, nope, nope, notright, not right, not right, not
enough, there's too much ofthis.
I was just putting my littleteam through it.
And these are professionalcasting people, by the way,
they're putting people on theVoice on American Idol.
They do this, and I was givingthem hell.
So eventually we were like allright, terrell, since you're so
damn picky, you get on thecamera, show us what you're
(13:59):
looking for and then we will putthat out and see if that
attracts the energy you want.
Well, we we did that a coupleof times and I guess I'm still
doing that because I'm still onthis camera and I am still
producing example episodes.
I'm still looking for the host.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Just kidding, no, no do you want me to tell you why
this is?
Sometimes we don't listen likewe read me because we we always
ask god I just need to hear aword from you, and then when god
gives us the word.
We do like, like we can't hearhim.
(14:38):
God gave torell an assignment.
He did not give Terrell anassignment to pass the
assignment on to somebody else.
He gave Terrell an assignmentbecause when God has something
for you, it is for who?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It is for me, and it's not for anybody else.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It's not for anybody else.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And this is why you are now on season seven
meanwhile, thinking I was gonnaget past season two.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
At the end of every season I was like, oh, I did my
big one.
That was it now.
Let's go on back to our nicecozy life, my cubicle or my
corner office at fox, let's justgo ahead and go back.
And then it just kept gettingbigger.
The opportunities kept coming.
I kept walking in the purpose,no matter how rugged it got.
I was, you know, at first itwas giving nice pavement, then
(15:36):
things started to happen.
It was giving cobblestone, thenit was giving dirt road, then
it's giving off-road, then it'llbe paved for a little bit of
time.
A little more pavement, feel alittle safe.
Then it get rocky again.
And I think it is nothing but myfaith that has kept me walking,
no matter the terrain, becausethis is not easy.
The way that we do this show,with all these big stars and big
(15:58):
moments.
These shows usually take a lotof people and it's like four or
five of us, and it is such arespected show as well.
People come right in the middleof their press runs.
They've left me to go to JimmyKimmel on the same day, so it's
just like it's got to be nothingbut God and a testament to no
(16:20):
matter what you were sayingearlier, no matter what it looks
like in front of you, you justgot to keep walking.
You ain't even got to walk fast.
Just one foot in front of theother.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Because the race is not given to the swift.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I'm about to get up.
Where's the tambourine?
I'm about to Give me one more.
Do it again.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I mean like this Listen.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Your journey is your journey and only you could take
this.
And when you said I'm walkingin my purpose, you said I'm
walking in my purpose, meaningthis is what I was supposed to
do.
No matter how hard it is, I'mgoing to endure, I'm going to
(17:06):
keep fighting because this iswhat I'm supposed to do.
Walk in your greatness, evenwhen people say you can't do it.
Let's talk about the ones thatsay oh, you know who they are
because they will refer to yourthings as his list show.
(17:29):
Oh, you know Torella shows.
You know it was like cute orwhatever, but I mean you know
his list show.
How did you deal with that?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Showed him the receipts.
This little show didn't savecareers.
This little show didn't revivecareers.
This little show didn't turnpeople's album singles upside
down, Wasn't charting and look,there is some chart now.
Oh my God, Look at you.
Talk of the town.
You got to let the work speakfor itself.
Sometimes I don't like to betoo loud on me.
I like to.
I like to put out the work andlet it be loud for me.
(18:10):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
People don't want that back.
Run that back, run that backBecause somebody missed it.
Somebody missed it.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Let me give it again.
I don't like to be loud on me,I like to put the work out and
let it be loud for me, becausethat's what it is all about At
the end of the day.
I know, who I am and I know myskill set.
I know my talents.
Me and God talk about it allthe time, because sometimes he
has to remind me.
(18:41):
He has to remind me, but what Ido like to do is utilize those
skills and present them.
We're public facing, so it'snot like our work is just
between me and myself.
It is judged.
I'm putting it out there to bejudged and the best feeling that
(19:02):
I get is when I put somethingout there and somebody has to go
all right, he did that, he didthat.
You know what I mean.
It's like yes, that's what Idid, thank you, and I'm going to
do it again.
As long as God is willing, I'mgoing to do it again.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Can I tell you I am extremely I don't know how many
times you've heard this and youdon't know me from a can of
paint, but sometimes people needto hear I am proud of you.
Sometimes I am proud of youbecause some people would have
(19:40):
given up.
Some people would said this ismy big one, that's it.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, it crosses the mind.
As things come up and you'rechallenged, it is human nature
to want to regain your comfort.
Go back to the place in whichyou were not feeling challenged
and, um, you know, I just haveto remind myself okay, 12,.
(20:12):
As this show gets bigger,you're going to have more
challenges and the show is notgoing to not get bigger.
Okay, the show is only going togrow because we're we have a
show that has purpose.
It has me, it does, and it isuplifting people.
And as I'm walking about thestreets and people walk up to me
and tell me what the show isdoing, it is nothing but
reaffirming that the show isimportant for people and it
(20:34):
ain't got to be important toeverybody, but it's important to
the ones that it needs to beimportant for.
That's right.
When the show grows, morechallenges will be bestowed upon
you and you just got to lock in.
You got to lock in becausegiving up is so easy to do.
And I want to say this tooBreaks are fine, breaks are okay
(20:57):
, they're encouraged.
Taking steps back doesn't meanyou're losing progress.
You're just taking a step backto assess.
You're like, okay.
Step back to assess.
You're like, okay, I got thishere and I got that there.
What you don't want to do isthrow your hands completely up
and lose all that progress thatyou spent years doing, because
the thing about time is it keepsgoing and you can never get it
(21:19):
back.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
So if you give, up.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
you have to look at it as in like did you waste it?
You might have wasted it.
You can't waste it.
You'd already.
You're invested now, baby.
Okay, this blue wall is here,so you better figure it out.
It ain't going nowhere, itain't going nowhere, so you got
to keep moving.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You mentioned challenges several times and I
know for me and for other peoplethat are in our niche and do
what we do and do what you do,success comes at a price and
sometimes it can be very lonelyat the top and people who you
(22:01):
thought was right, like I'm herefor you, like that's my dog go
ahead go out you.
You realize that.
Oh well, now that I'm here andyou not, and I'm here, we not as
(22:22):
cool as what I thought we werelike.
We not at the level that Ithought that we were.
And now I have to set aboundary, which, which is a bad
word.
I have to set a boundary, whichis something I never thought I
would have to do with you, sincesomebody who I called my friend
(22:43):
, somebody who I called myfriend, somebody who I called my
brother.
Now a boundary has to becreated.
How is that, when you want totake these people with you, you
want to be that friend, you wantto be that brother, you want to
(23:05):
be that person, but you'reeverybody can't go with you.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
You see me blinking real fast, cause you about to
make me cry.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Everybody on my show cries at some point.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
My God, it's um.
It just happens to be somethingthat I'm currently going
through.
That is very hard, and you knowI try to be as transparent and
as vulnerable as I possibly canbe and you know that that what
you're saying is just hitting umbecause it is lonely, and it
got lonely fast.
(23:44):
Actually, it wasn't somethingthat, uh, necessarily crept up,
um, and then it just gotlonelier over time.
And the thing that gives mepeace is protecting, learning
how to better protect my spaceand guard my heart, because,
(24:05):
coming from where we're,southern people, we're very
trustworthy, very forgiving,very open people, and those
things are not the best traitsIf you want to navigate this
crazy world of entertainment.
It's good to have, but you willbe susceptible to people taking
advantage of you and for lackof a better term doing you wrong
(24:28):
, and it can be hurtful andthere is no way to avoid it.
You just have to understandthat you're called for a purpose
and a plan and with thatterritory comes jealousy, anger
(24:49):
and a real usury spirit.
They get a real usury spirit onthem and the only thing that
you can do to keep yourselftogether is say I'm doing it
right, this is just the price ofit, I'm not doing anything
wrong, because I used to bereally hard on myself.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I used to think I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
I must be doing this wrong and this wrong and this
wrong.
I must be the drama, becauseit's always somebody you know
and I had to go to therapy forthat, to be honest with you
Still in it, just trying tofigure out, lord, how do I
continue to grow and continue tolove what I do?
Because people can really pissyou out of your passion if you
(25:32):
let them, and you can't let thathappen.
Okay, because people are people, your passion is your passion,
those two things.
You can't let them affect eachother you know.
So I've been working on it,friend.
I'm not even going to tell youI got a good nugget to tell you
and to tell your audience how toget through it.
It's a work in progress.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
It is through it.
It's a work in progress.
It is and I'm gonna justpiggyback off of what you said
because we have been taught tobe nice.
We've been taught to beaccommodating this.
This is what we've been taught.
We've been taught not to rockthe boat, but guess what?
The boat sinks because you'recarrying too many people with
(26:16):
you.
The boat sinks because you'recarrying too many people with
you who do, who does not respectyour time, your energy or your
peace, and that peace ispriceless.
Yeah, your energy is priceless,and if you carrying too many
people on your ship, that shipis going to sink.
(26:36):
I always ask people whose peacemeans more, whose happiness
means more, and in that process,you have to let some people go
because you mean more if I ain'tgot no peace for myself, I
ain't got nothing to give you,that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
I ain't got no happiness to give you if I'm
miserable.
So I've been getting better atit.
Also, when you are a generallypositive person, the weight just
gets thrown on you, right?
Because everybody needs you toinject some positivity into
their lives, and sometimes wecan deplete ourselves in that
(27:17):
process.
So you got to be careful.
You got to be careful andlearning every day how to take
care of myself as much as I tryto take care of others.
It's something I'm going tostruggle with until the day I am
called home.
It is just in my nature to givemore than I receive.
(27:38):
So you just got to find thatbalance and keep it pushing.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Listen, sometimes finding balance is a very
difficult thing because, justlike you, like, I want to be
here for you.
I want to be here for you.
I want to do this.
I also want to take care ofmyself, and we know that
self-care is the the best care.
But sometimes that's hard, it'shard to take care of yourself
(28:09):
when you're used to being thestrong one I've always been
strong everybody I'm always totake care, especially when you
reach a certain level of success, then there are expectations
that come along with it.
Like you are obligated to takecare of me, no, no, not, no, not
(28:31):
.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I am obligated to take care of me.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yes, that's true, but it's also, you know, I love it.
I love being in the position tobe able to help.
You know and you know I do alot of stuff very much in
private that I don't you know.
People see what I do on theshow, right, how I am uplifting
people and they'd uplift me too,by the way, but how I'm trying
(28:59):
to make sure that if you wereupset or sad or down when you
clicked on the video, by the endof it you feel a little bit
better.
I love having that opportunityto do that, but sometimes late
at night I just be like woocover me Lord.
Cover me, I'm tired.
(29:19):
I'm also a Virgo.
I'm a work.
Okay, One thing about it wegonna work.
So it's a lot to juggle, butyou know can't complain.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
But you, you are doing the Lord's work because
your show is positive and everyepisode I watch, it does not
matter what time of the day, itdoes not matter if it's at two
o'clock in the morning.
To to rail, I used to waituntil a new episode dropped,
(29:54):
like, like, like, like.
I would stay up at night andwait because I knew that it was
going to be something that myspirit needed.
You always left the showfeeling better than when you
started it.
This is, this is what you putout.
(30:18):
You put out that type ofpositivity that you don't even
realize the souls of people thatyou touch through music,
through your joy.
You bring me joy.
What watching other people sing, because I'm just like, what,
what?
What is his reaction gonna be?
What is he gonna do?
(30:40):
Like, what is it.
Yes, fall out of this, it'd bereal too now I know that you had
a a wide array of people come.
What are your three favoritemoments, or three favorite?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
oh, oh, you can't do it.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Now listen, I don't have thegreatest memory so I'm sure I'm
going to leave zone out, but Iwill try my best.
I think one that always comesto mind is Cynthia Erivo's
(31:21):
episode.
That episode was it felt likean out-of-body experience, if
that makes sense, when she'ssaying I am here, listen, right
here in my face, I'm going to behonest with you.
I did not know what to do.
(31:42):
I got so hot, my body got hotand I just started crying.
Yes, you know what I mean.
Like that moment to witnesssomebody's talent like that.
And her talent is more than justsinging.
She's a beautiful voice andactress, two-time Oscar nominee,
all that.
But the way that she emotes,the way that she tells a story
(32:05):
through her instrument issomething I have not experienced
.
Often that moment hands down.
That's got to be one.
This is tough, okay.
Two, I'm gonna say oh, I haveto say finding my best friend,
coco jones, oh my god.
(32:30):
Well, I actually I don't knowif I've ever said this before,
but I was not super familiarwith who she was before she came
on the show.
I learned about her throughpeople telling me you should get
this girl named Coco Jones onthe show, because by the time
she stepped on the Disney trackI was already a little bit aged
(32:51):
out.
She's about five years youngerthan me, so I did not really
know who she was.
So I researched her.
I was like, oh, she seems likea cool person, let's bring her
on.
And on that particular day thatshe came I wasn't feeling my
best.
I wasn't.
You know, with these, with theseinterview shows, as you know,
there are sometimes booked weeks, if not months, in advance, so
(33:12):
you don't know if you're goingto be feeling your best by the
time that the episode is beingproduced.
But it's on the calendar.
You got to get up, got to go towork, so she came in and I'm
like, oh, my goodness, how am Igoing to get through this?
And the way that, as soon asthat camera started rolling, the
way that she lifted me, Ialmost felt like she could feel
(33:34):
that I needed to be lifted inthat episode.
Usually I was doing all thelifting and she came in and she
helped me out so much that daythat when I finished the video I
felt better.
I felt like the audience memberfor the first time on that
episode and when she left.
I said we're going to do thisagain.
(33:55):
We're going to do somethingtogether, and that's how T and
Coco, my other show, was birthed.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yes, she had me at something yes.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
She is an incredible singer.
We did the concert recently.
Oh, it's just so many things,but let me see, let me give you
one more yes, one more.
Let's give you one that youwere not going to expect.
Okay, maybe you will expectthis, but I think at the end of
(34:30):
season six, when I had thepleasure of hosting Kelly
Rowland, michelle Williams,latoya and Latavia on the show
in the same week, that mighthave ate a little bit Like you.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I was, I was like you know what.
I was like Terrell is reallythat dude.
I was like that can't, can't atthat, not not at that moment,
because it was several momentswhere I was like can't nobody do
what he doing.
Moments where I was like can'tnobody do what he doing, can't
(35:17):
nobody come and try to replicatethis, because it nobody will
ever be able to do this like you.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
It's wild, it's, it's such a um.
You know, I always uh.
Whenever somebody asks me likehow did you do it?
Or like if you have any tipsfor me, my answer is always the
simplest answer you got to stickto what you know.
Don't try to go out there anddo some research on what's
(35:42):
trending or research on what yousee somebody pop and be like I
want to do that.
That was not God's plan for you.
That is not the purpose that hehas on your life.
You have to keep what makes youunique and exploit that.
Okay, I'm from the South, Ilove my liquor.
(36:03):
I'm a homosexual, I love Jesus.
All right, all wrapped in oneperson.
If I try to diminish one thingfor the other and you're a
vegetarian, period okay, oh no,not a vegetarian, what'd you say
?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
A pussitarian?
That's what I am.
Oh, period, ah.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Oh, that took me home .
I love it so much, so you getit.
And it's like if I were to tryto be like okay, you know what
the audience might not like thisso much.
Let me pull back on this itwould have not hit the same.
You are all these thingswrapped up in one, because it's
what makes you unique.
People want to watch you foryou.
They don't want to watch you asa copy of somebody else,
(36:57):
because they can just go to thesource and get it how it's
supposed to be okay god okay huh, what happened?
Speaker 1 (37:06):
okay god, okay I, I, I hear you Was it for you.
Because, it'd be for me too,because just yesterday, just
yesterday, somebody said well,maybe you need to try and do
this.
Well, maybe you need to dosomething different.
Well, maybe you need to not beAlethea, when everybody has
(37:28):
always known me to be me, and italmost made me be like, well,
maybe I do need to do somethingdifferent, maybe I do need to
change who I am.
But then here you come saying,nah, like, stay true to who you
(37:51):
are, because this, this is whatpeople want.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
People want you.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
People want you.
I always like to say this Ilove advice, I love, you know,
feedback, constructive criticism, I love it.
But at the end of the day, ifanything that is brought to my
table, brought to my desk, andit's going to change my heart,
it's going to change who I'vebeen since I've been on this
planet.
It's going to change how I seethe world.
(38:17):
That's not advice for me,that's advice for you.
That's how you see the world,so you need to go find somebody
who's doing it like that and getyour life Okay.
I love your advice Cause youwant to see me when I assume I
need a something, I need asomething.
I don't think closed ears doanything for anybody.
(38:38):
I'm going to listen but whileI'm listening, if it changes who
I am in my DNA and how I seethe world, then I know that
advice it wasn't for me, it wasfor you and I want you to live
your life.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Baby.
I hope that somebody other thanme received this, because I
thank you for that.
That was confirmation.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Come on, we're going to have to have a good old talk
after this.
While we are on the subject ofgiving people what they want to
hear, we are in a segment of theshow called Hype Me Up.
My listeners either put aquestion or a comment that they
(39:32):
need help with and you get tohelp me hype them up.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I love this.
Okay, cool, cool, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You get to help me hype them up, ignatius, what is
the question of the day that wehave?
I want to say that she saidthat I am not confident about
who I am.
(40:02):
And how do I get confidence?
I can't even go outside becauseI'm ashamed of how I look.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Oh my goodness, Do you want to go first, or should
I?
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Since you are the guest go ahead.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Oh my goodness, it breaks my heart to read it, to
be honest, because when I thinkabout beauty, oh my, I don't.
There's no box.
There's no box that you can putbeauty in and be like this is
what beautiful is.
When you wake up in the morning, I speak for myself.
When I wake up in the morning,this eye is crested shut.
(40:52):
This is the drool that iscoming down.
The last reject Wig shifted tothe side.
If I got the throw out, it'sflat.
Sometime I done did too much atthe buffet.
I'm walking a little slow,walking a little heavy.
And you know what I'm stillgoing to say every time you, the
finest nigga I have ever seenin my life.
(41:14):
Okay, in my life I ain't neverseen nobody like you.
I know, and I'd like to saythis baby, everybody, I don't
know of a single person that hasthought of themselves like you.
Know what?
I don't feel beautiful today,or I don't feel beautiful in
this moment.
That is very natural.
But the the word beautiful, youare beautiful, you are.
(41:38):
It is not like I need to dothis thing to become it.
You are.
That it's synonymous, it's thesame.
Okay, if your name is, let'ssay, your name is Jennifer,
jennifer beauty, it's the same.
Okay, you walk out that doorand you walk with pride.
Okay, because some people walkpast somebody who got that same
crust and they eye in themorning and they thought they
(42:00):
couldn't get it out either.
Okay, we all go through thingsand in terms of the word, the
confidence word confidence takestime.
You have to learn it.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
Some people, I will say, have a natural confidence.
I did it.
I had to learn how to reallylove every piece of me.
Ok, so don't even feel likeit's something that we're gifted
with and that you can't learnand that you're never going to
(42:31):
get it.
You just have to be kind toyourself and know that we are
all in this together, andsometimes it's going to be up,
sometimes it's going to be down,but as long as you have one
more good moment, one more goodminute, one more good hour than
you had the day before, you'redoing good.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
So let me so how, terrell, come on my show and out
positivity queen me, oh shit.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
I'm just.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Because here I am like You're done, because I'm
what.
Speaker 3 (43:12):
You bring it out of me.
You bring it out of me.
I'm just like this.
Speaker 4 (43:23):
Oh my God, I can't you set the table.
That's what I'm saying.
When you set a table like thisfor people to come on and be
able to have an openconversation, it's a tough
question, right?
It's a real question.
That question is not unique.
It is probably more proper thanthe opposite.
So these conversations needplatforms like this so people
can really get into it.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yes, Well, girl, listen what I am going to tell
you.
First of all, girl, baby, comehere, come, come, come, come
close.
Let me talk to you and look inyour eyeball Honey, you are
everything and everything is you.
Sexy has no size chart.
Sexy has no age limit.
(44:03):
If you think sexy, you are sexy.
If you think beautiful, you arebeautiful.
What are you telling yourselfthat you are?
Are you telling yourself thatyou are?
Listen, god created you in hisimage.
Just sit right there rightthere, that's perfect he's
(44:25):
perfect.
So what does that make you?
If you were created from thesame canvas, then what does?
That make you, it makes perfect.
It makes you perfect in everysense of the word.
So you do not have to changeyourself for the world.
The world needs to changeitself to adapt to you.
Speaker 4 (44:48):
Yes, period.
You did just fine.
You didn't need me girl, please.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
I love that, yes, and don't wait for nobody else to
tell you that you're beautiful.
Tell yourself, you do not needvalidation from anybody nobody
say this all the time the onlything that I will ever need
validated in my life is myparking and what I'm gonna love
(45:18):
you for the rest of my life.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
That line is so good.
Oh, that line is so good.
Now, if I say that line, I'mgonna credit you okay, because
that's good, I mean I'm dropping, dropping little nugget,
nuggets when I can.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
good, I'm just like this is just me all day and all
night.
Now what I'm noticing, becauseI was low-key hating, but I'm,
I'm, I'm, I'm gonna let you talk, talk, talk about, wait, let me
, let me, let me do like the,the like haters do your, your,
your little background, littlebackground, what's?
Speaker 4 (46:08):
this is new and we are getting the exclusive,
because this background is forwhat?
So the troll show has beensynonymous with the blue wall.
Since the troll show started,right, correct and what's
hilarious, and people don'treally know that.
This happens to me all the timeand I've had this idea since
the first time it happened,since, I think, maybe season
three.
I ran into someone there likeTerrell, I would love to do your
(46:30):
show, but I cannot sing, likeI'm not ever going to go up
there and play in your audiencespace like that.
I cannot sing, play in youraudience, things like that I
cannot say.
And this was an actress whocame up to me and said this and
I was like you know, one day I'mgoing to figure out how to
invite more, you know, notablepeople, friends who don't work
(46:51):
in the music industry, but wecan still have a little nice
conversation and, you know,catch up and spill some tea.
So for the last four years I'vebeen trying to figure out what
that looks like and here we are.
So this is my other set forlike the supplemental part of
the Terrell show in which, ifyou cannot hold the notes, you
sit in this chair, okay, infront of this slightly blue wall
(47:11):
, and then we'll haveconversations.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
I can hum and I can make it sound like something.
So, yeah, so I can, I can comeon there.
Yes, come on, and I'm comingbefore I let you go listen.
I have enjoyed having you.
I hope that this is not yourlast time and I it brings me joy
(47:41):
because I know how busy you areand I'm going to try to get
through this that you came on myshow not knowing who I was, not
knowing how big I was.
I don't have all these numbers,I'm not famous per se, but just
the fact that you took time andyou said, ok, I am going to
(48:03):
come on her show.
You have no idea, I'm going toremember this for the rest of my
life.
Speaker 3 (48:13):
I had to.
Speaker 4 (48:14):
You are absolutely stunning.
I watched when it came in andthey said, like this is what you
know, this show would like todo, this podcast like to do.
They showed me a couple ofthings.
I'm like yes, immediately, yes,immediately.
Yes, because we need you.
(48:34):
We need you to continuespeaking life into people.
We need you to continuespreading a message that you
understand that it's popular tobe negative.
You understand that if you wantthe click, a little click bait
would help, but that does notserve your heart.
(48:58):
It doesn't serve anybody'sheart, and I tend to gravitate
towards people who lead withtheir heart, and that is what
you do Always.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
When.
Speaker 4 (49:07):
I first started out, I had people who came on my show
when I didn't have this, thatand the third because they
believed in me.
So it's a cycle.
You're only missing a blessingwhen you decline stuff like this
.
You are doing God's work, sodeclining you will be declining
(49:33):
him.
So what we are going to do is,if I can do my part to make sure
people understand you and findyou and will follow you and the
who are you following.
Okay, so that means I helppeople come closer to him
through you, through him.
It all works together, okay.
(49:55):
So when you walk in yourpurpose, I'm going to walk side
by side, I'm going to walk thereright with you, so you keep
going.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
You hear me, you're not going to make me cry on my
damn show, get him off.
Speaker 4 (50:07):
Yes, yes, once you hit that button, I'm staying
right here.
Yes, yes, my pleasure, it's afantastic show you keep going.
It's a fantastic show.
You keep going.
It's going to be bigger thanyou imagine oh okay, I'm a
gangster.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
Oh okay, so before we , you tell everybody where to
find you all the things.
The last segment of the show iscalled Pass it On.
We had my last guest, michelleGomez, an amazing actress.
(50:45):
Her Pass it On message wassimply this Keep it simple,
stupid.
Speaker 4 (50:55):
I love that I say that all the time.
Keep it simple, stupid, simple,stupid.
I love that I said it all thetime.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
So what is your pass it on message?
Either for some somebody thatis listening or to the next
guest that comes on.
What is a message that you wantto pass on?
I'll be getting y'all.
Speaker 4 (51:23):
This is good.
Okay, I would say this Take thetime to be grateful for the
answers to the prayers youprayed yesterday.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Oh, say that one more time, Because somebody this
went over somebody's head.
Say it again, please.
Speaker 2 (51:44):
Take some time to be grateful for the answers to the
prayers you prayed yesterday orthe day before that or the year
before that, because sometimeswe forget that our prayer was
answered, because now we have anew prayer.
Speaker 4 (52:05):
But you got to stay grateful, gracious, humble,
because you are in a better spotand if you aren't, you will be.
So when you get that, eventhough you have a new prayer or
a new problem, take some time tobe grateful for those prayers
that you were on your kneespraying that have been answered,
(52:25):
before you complain about yournext prayers.
That's still on the way.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
Listen, y'all sometimes things look dark.
Sometimes things look dark Fordaylight saving time.
I woke up and it was darkoutside.
I'm thinking it's like midnightor something.
I look at my watch it's stilldaytime.
So just because it looks darkoutside does not mean that it is
(52:58):
actually dark.
It's still light.
Baby, you got to make it thatway.
Just because you see darknessoutside does not mean that there
is darkness inside of you.
Amen, there is darkness insideof your situation.
You create the light.
Speaker 4 (53:16):
Amen, and I'm taking that one with me.
God is good.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
So can you please tell everybody all things,
terrell, where to find you, whatis coming up next?
Everything, that is all you.
Speaker 4 (53:36):
