nineteen thirty two. Dot Org.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Radio host Angel Baby has been on the radio doing
his thing for years, but in that time he's also
found a way to give back to the community.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Doing my oldest dedications on requests.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
A program at radio has always been a passion of mine,
and of course playing music for the people bring that
good feeling to everybody through the airwaves.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Fascinated by it since I was a youth.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
The music has changed over the years, but I wanted
to know what songs and what music were his go
to back in the day.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
And you know, my first go to songs was always
some branton Wood music. His music was always one of
the go to because his catalog of songs were always fun,
you know.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Like Baby, you Got It, I Catch You on the Rebound.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Classic Me and You, because they always had a great
vibe and a great feeling to them.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
You know, the holiday season is upon us and for years,
Angel Baby has worked to make sure families in the
community get to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. That's why he
created the Turkey Jam event.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Turkey Jam is a food drive that I put together
twenty one years ago. Our turkey jam has been my
own baby that I came out with. I just decided
to call a bunch of friends of mine and performers
and put together a show.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Invite the general public out. I don't charge them to
get in. The entry fee is non perishable items. I
asked people to come donate five non pershable items such
as mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, all the fixings that go
with Thanksgiving. Or if people are fortunate enough to donate
a turkey or a ham, that is even better. Crazy
idea a long time ago, had no idea we'd still

(01:44):
be going strong twenty one years later.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Now, when reflecting back on having a meal for Thanksgiving,
angel Baby has come full circle. He knows firsthand what
it takes to feed a family.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
When I did first start this, I used to get
on a list myself because I was hard time in
it with my family and I wasn't able to get
a Thanksgiving meal.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
So we would go to the local church and we.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Would get on that list and wait and wait and
hope that we would be able to get a Thanksgiving
mil So when I came up with this idea, I'm
actually able to donate.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Back to the same church now that I used to
be on a list for.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Angel Baby will be the EMC of Turkey Jam and
has invited several of his friends to perform for guests
to enjoy.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
I have a big show that we put on, so
I got a lot of friends who bring their classic
cars out to come put them on display.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
And at the same time, tons of vendors that will
be out there.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
We'd have food vendors, vendors telling their crafts or whatnot.
Nine different performers that will be coming on out. We
have old school funk Legends band, I've got some soul
and R and B, some hip hop, and then I
even got some Christian music also, and everything is clean
and were keeping a lot of family fund and we're
also even going to have a pony rides for the kids.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Family could come enjoy the day. How people go ahead
and bring your launchairs out, come, hang out, take some
pictures with the cars mingle.

Speaker 2 (03:05):

this this h I love Sammons down Out of the
Week is a special one because today we had our
Arts and Historical Preservation Commission meeting, and you know, I
understand how important the arts and history are to our community.
But I also understand that history, most history could not
be created without an artist, you know. So like there

(12:29):
is some history that's created that for people that are artists,
but like visual history like architects and things like, that's
all art and photography is exactly yeah, So like, these
artists add so much to our community. Without them, we're
not getting the beauty, we're not getting the good feelings

(12:50):
of what's going on, and if you just get all
your information from the news or something, then you get
that negative philosamonys. We don't want that. And the artists
like Stephen Stephen Black and and uh Michael Sigura on
the Arts Commission, you know, they go above and beyond.
They're they're like on the Commission. Plus yes, they do

(13:11):
all the arts in the community, right.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Them.

Speaker 14 (13:15):
And all the artists that have even tried and just
you know, making doggy short story books or incredible flyers
for your program. We're all little a little bit of artists.
So I'm kind of like trying to showcase with this standout.

Speaker 12 (13:34):
Everybody there you go, there, you go.

Speaker 14 (13:36):
You've done a little bit of art. You deserve it,
and please keep continuing to do it.

if you're interested, team your organization, hit up Vanessa over

anyone you can get a hold of that's gonna be
a great event, and I wanted to mention a little
bit that happened and that our Arts and Historical Preservation
Commission meeting today. Basically we went over meeting minutes from

(20:08):
LASS meeting, and we talked a little bit about the
different ad hoc committees that we have, and what we
did is we combined the old at Hot committee that
you were on Tanya with the historic ad hoc committee
that me and Steven are on now so we can
get back to that sister city artifacts and stuff like that.

(20:30):
So we changed that. We kept the meeting at four o'clock,
So there was someone wanted to change it, but we
decided not to change it, to keep it at four.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
And then we had.

Speaker 14 (20:43):
Oh oh for items for future agenda. So Gwen and
Arlington had mentioned to me two years ago that it'd
be cool to rename that section of East Street in
front of the Martin Luther King statue after Martin Luther King.
But when I when I tried to get some response
on that, I didn't get a lot of good response,

(21:04):
right because it's it costs money and it's difficult, right,
but there's that little cul de sac.

Speaker 13 (21:11):
Right O.

Speaker 14 (21:13):
God, I'm cold a sack in the karmerce center right there.
We could call it the Martin Luther King Commerce Center. Yeah,
and it would it show off that incredible statue that
Margaret Hill love so much. And and by the way,
every element of that cage that they had around Dartin
Luther King has removed, even the polls that were standing

(21:35):
on the outside. Everything's been removed. So they're just watching
it better the best they can. And it's good to
see Alexanderson house. So we're just talking about how I
mentioned for future meetings that we'd like to possibly name
the little Cold the turnabout right there after Martin Luther King.
Maybe bring a little more attention to that incredible statue.

(22:00):
And that's pretty much it for that meeting. And would
you have anything to add for current events?

Speaker 12 (22:05):
You know what, for current events, we definitely want to
shout out the Redlands Area Interfaith Council. Yesterday was their
Thanksgiving event at the Redlands First Messadific Church, the Interfaith
Thanksgiving me celebration that they did amazing turnout, probably three
hundred plus people there. All the different faiths that are
held in our community. I'm coming out, coming together showing
that we can unify as humanity. And then after that

(22:26):
they have a whole bunch of pies that they served everybody.
I had to leave, so I didn't get a slice
of blye. But you know, it was a beautiful event
and I love the unity that you see and throughout
the Inland Empire.

Speaker 15 (22:38):
You know.

Speaker 12 (22:39):
And what do you got?

Speaker 14 (22:40):
What drink you got there?

Speaker 12 (22:42):
Oh? Shout out to Viva love boba. This is the
Indian chi with oat milk, no boba. I'm not playing,
but I love their drinks there. You know, they always
take care of you. Shop local. The money spending our
community stays in our community.

Speaker 14 (22:55):
I did a wear am I outside their business today.
I didn't get to go in there because I was
cutting it close with time, but I still hope they
get some business from that.

Speaker 12 (23:03):
You were all over the place today, Bro. I saw
that beautiful picture that you took. It looks like on
the top of highland or baseline.

Speaker 1 (23:09):

Speaker 14 (23:10):
We went everywhere.

Speaker 12 (23:12):
And even to the commissioner.

Speaker 14 (23:14):
I take care of my mama and she's a boss.
People say I'm a ba ain't no boss. Mama was
a boss, you know, as long as it's as long
as she's not saying I want another serving of brownies
the right.

Speaker 15 (23:30):
So would you guys mind if I talk about a
couple of things, go ahead? Okay, So we had a
Downtown Neighborhood Association meeting last Thursday, and David Friedman actually
hosted it in one of his buildings. The person that
owns Viva La Boba and really looking at Ray Blum
does an excellent job. Diego Brossant along with that team,

(23:56):
organized a city wide clean up a while back and
that was huge. They're doing another one on November twenty ninth,
city wide again and they want to make it a
monthly event and so that's huge. Want to get people
out to that. If you know somebody that can help connect,
donate items, you know, they always need stuff to clean up.

(24:19):
And then the other thing is Arrowhead United Way and
I know it's full, but I still want to shout
out to Arrowhead United Way.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
I e.

Speaker 15 (24:27):
Rebound, the Police Department, Probation, District Attorney's Office. They're doing
a thousand turkey and fixings giveaway this Saturday.

Speaker 14 (24:40):
Right, that's a lot of turkeys.

Speaker 12 (24:41):
Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, definitely shout out to doctor
gwyn in the leadership there. Shout out to Duck worth
Owen duck Worth as well. If I rebound doing a
lot of great work, I'm going to try to. Because
I signed up for the tam k at the Turkey Track. Yeah,
i have to go to the five k because I'm
slated to do the photography for that event, so i
gotta get over there that set time. So I'm hoping

(25:02):
i can knock out the five k and then get
over there and tire. If not, I'll be there to
cheer by. For months now, I've been walking regularly, but
I didn't get to the jog. I did jog a

(25:24):
little today, just like man, the Turkey t is Saturday, right,
but I haven't been walking over the last few days
because of the rain. So I got a chance to
actually walk today, so I'm gonna do my best.

Speaker 14 (25:34):
I jogged all the way to the forest fall, from
the from the head of the trail all the way
to the first fall.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
And I'm out.

Speaker 14 (25:44):
I was like, oh, I'm just gonna run on over
there and back. My mama won't even miss me, right exactly,
but afterwards, oh, I felt so good.

Speaker 12 (25:57):
It feelt so good. It's probably got yourself a brownie.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 14 (26:02):
We went to the oaks of inn Angelus Oaks and
spent some money out of business that needs some business
because the road has been closed up there for three
months now. All right, well we have the Alexander's and
the ouse for the this is a little time for
this time, turkey trot. I mean, I gotta get.

Speaker 16 (26:20):
Right there, you go.

Speaker 15 (26:26):
I thought Felicia would have her feathers on today nothing else.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
Got the medals, Okay, we'll do the medals.

Speaker 14 (26:38):
Yeah, I knew I was off the hook when she
wasn't wearing. I came from work too, right, But so
what do we got going on? We changed the date
to Saturday so more people can participate, right, We.

Speaker 13 (26:53):
Changed the day for more people to participate. And we've
exceeded last year's registration already and there's still what five
days ago, six days ago we exceeded registration. We're probably
gonna I'm telling you, we're going to shut it down
probably on what tomorrow, get there Wednesday? Today, Tuesday, Monday, Monday, Monday, Wednesday.

(27:16):
We'll probably shut it down on Wednesday. So morning morning,
did she what does she say tomorrow?

Speaker 12 (27:27):
Okay?

Speaker 13 (27:29):
Right, right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 16 (27:37):
Smart smart.

Speaker 12 (27:39):
That's right, but it is that cal State.

Speaker 13 (27:41):
This year we brought to cal State, the lovely campus
of cal State. It's a lot of twists and turns
this time. And you know what, I've been to cal
State a lot, but I've never walked it all through
cal State with all.

Speaker 14 (27:54):
I actually took jogging there. It's an incredible run. It's
it's it's it's a great spot.

Speaker 12 (27:59):
You know, you saw a lot that one time you
were on campus running from the police.

Speaker 14 (28:05):
Because I beer bombed and then't just dropped the jog.
Yeah no, but like I only got you know, they
only picked me up once. But they were nice. They
just let me go and put me back in the door.
I was searching for a bro that was lost or
a girl one or the other. I don't know.

Speaker 15 (28:24):
He had the coyote mascot chasing him.

Speaker 14 (28:26):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's a cool mascot. They got in
front of the school.

Speaker 13 (28:36):
So I didn't go to the school. Our daughter graduated
from that school, but we didn't go to that school.

Speaker 14 (28:43):
So what what are you trying to showcase it? Are
you tired today?

Speaker 16 (28:48):
I look no, no, no, no, no, I'm not tired.

Speaker 14 (28:51):
You guys have been working so hard, So tell us
what you've been working so hard lately since since the
last event. I'm just like helping our school kids.

Speaker 16 (29:00):
Well, I mean yes, So we are doing a couple
of things that are a little different or continue the tradition.
Now we started last year. We are allowing schools if
they come out to us and I say, hey, we
want to start our own fundraising effort. And so you'll
see that middle College high School is on the registration

(29:23):
site and they're raising funds. That's what you last year
and last year we matched them and so we will
continue with that tradition. In addition to that, we started
collecting children's books last year as well for collaborating with
the Assistance League of San Borandino, and those children's books
are being donated to the calsafe program. So to teenage parents, I.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Do have one ad.

Speaker 14 (29:49):
I spoke to the program vice president of Sigma pi
Epsilon at Kelsey Samarandino just happened to meet them at
the local established or there getting some fried chicken and
I'm like, I'm gonna stick up because he's wearing his letterly.
So we've been talking and I was like, hey, are
you guys involved in the Turkey Trot is a fraternal

(30:10):
like because those organizations they do entermurals and all that
stuff too. So maybe not this year because it sounds
like the registration's ending, but I'll definitely make sure they
get involved next year.

Speaker 16 (30:21):
We would like that we actually approached the university about
just their outreach. So my understanding is that there was
communication I was sent out. But any help that you
can provide as an alumni will always be helpful because
I think it creates that stickiness and that will definitely
can be the one who's our ambassador just reaching out

(30:44):
to the community there. But we did work through the
university just to get the message out there. And I
know we say we're closing our registration, but just to
provide some clarity, we're closing it, but then on the
day of we will open it up to a small
percentage of people who walk on site to register. The

(31:04):
last year we kind of did the same thing. However,
our registration is well above it was last year, so
we learned some I guess some lessons learned from last year. However,
we don't want to be faced with telling somebody, hey,
you can't run, you know, because again this is a
family fun tradition. We want to make sure that people
are happy having a good time. There are some competitive

(31:26):
ones out there, so it is a timed race, both
the five k, ten k, and we're also bringing back
the one k. So, Robert, I don't know if you remember,
we used to have the one k race and you
probably remember as well when they were younger. Yeah, so
we discontinued it for a couple of years, but now
we're bringing it back and we're super excited about that
because our registrations already up to forty kids, whereas.

Speaker 14 (31:49):
Before you for that too, and so it was it
easier to set up the route.

Speaker 16 (31:55):
It is definitely easier because we're able to where is
it at the.

Speaker 13 (32:00):
That's around the one k is around the track for
the kids, Oh awesome.

Speaker 12 (32:06):
Oneka is around the track for the kids.

Speaker 13 (32:07):
The adults would be running around the campus.

Speaker 14 (32:09):
And it's a beautiful run team, it really is.

Speaker 15 (32:12):
And it goes back to being about health and wellness. Yanni,
you were saying you haven't quite gotten up to the
running aspect. You're still making those steps every day, you're
still making gaining this strides, all of those.

Speaker 14 (32:25):
Things and he's pretty handsome.

Speaker 15 (32:27):
Right right. And I cannot tell you enough how many
health benefits there are to walking. And the more you walk,
the more it does for you, all the way to
stopping over thinking, you know, getting your health in order,
all of those things. So I'm really proud of.

Speaker 14 (32:46):
You, Andy Got he's getting his mama walking too, because
I call over there and you'll.

Speaker 12 (32:50):
Be walking with his mama. Definitely, definitely, you're You're so correct.
I'm correct, howya? Where it's it's self care, you know.
For me, by walking regimen is self care allows me.
I'm an early birder, early bird, so I like to
get out there and kind of sest the tone for
my day. And it's been like that since I used
to go to cal.

Speaker 6 (33:09):
Miller.

Speaker 12 (33:10):
I will that.

Speaker 10 (33:15):
I gotta say this as an advocate for hydration is important.
So make sure that you drink half your body weight
and hounss of water. Purchase absolutely hydration.

Speaker 12 (33:27):
I have hydration issues too.

Speaker 15 (33:31):
That's my other one. Every time right there, that is
a good water and walk.

Speaker 14 (33:35):
It will change your life if you keep yourself hydrated
many you have to. It can actually changes make you happier.

Speaker 16 (33:42):
It's rare, right, And then just put an extra plug
out there. I mean, our inspiration and sharing our story
about the Turkey Trot is really about instilling health and
wellness in the community where we felt that there is
a need and opportunity to get more people out there
to work out. So the competitive piece is one thing,
but it's all about just being healthy mentally and physically.

(34:03):
And we welcome vendors who are interested in even promoting
what they're doing in that space. So if you have
been to our race, you will see intentionally our vendors
if the ones that we have usually are centered around
some form of health and wellness. I also want to
put a plug out to our sponsors because we cannot
do this alone and we have had several sponsors that

(34:27):
have been with us throughout the years. So I got
to put a special shout out to our premium sponsor,
which is.

Speaker 13 (34:37):
I don't know how to pronounce it, so I want
to give them love.

Speaker 16 (34:39):
You have your time, you have your time, you have
your time, you have your time Amazon if.

Speaker 14 (34:55):
They're really practicing hard. But the understand that it takes
pactice for us too. Yeah, because it's not always easy
to pronounce other languages, but like wow to be able
to do it is awesome.

Speaker 16 (35:07):
But I just want to put a special shout out
with them, out to them because they've been with us
since day one. We started our race in twenty and
fifteen and it was one hundred and ten people that participated,
and from that day on, they've been with us and
they have not ever left him. We've had several others
that have been with us, just to name a few.

(35:29):
We have Amazon, Think Wise, VerTech, Arrowhead, United Way has
been with us with definitely one of our sponsors, and
many Moore I mean our shirts. We make sure that
who is sponsoring us, regardless of what level, we're recognizing

(35:50):
them because we appreciate all of the support that we're receiving.

Speaker 13 (35:53):
Biggest sponsors Chris at Print Pros.

Speaker 12 (35:56):
Yes, yea shirts, all those shirts.

Speaker 16 (36:00):
Yes, he's been our designer from day one one.

Speaker 12 (36:04):
That's awesome.

Speaker 16 (36:04):
Yeah, we tried eventually keep the business in Sam That's my.

Speaker 14 (36:08):
Other wardrobe because I've been here eleven years. Got ten shirt. Actually,
I'm sorry. The first shirt wasn't the best.

Speaker 12 (36:19):
I still have it.

Speaker 16 (36:20):
That's legacy.

Speaker 14 (36:21):
It wasn't like this so like I wore it out
so quick.

Speaker 12 (36:24):
But these ones a war a million times.

Speaker 14 (36:27):
Yes, yeah, I really wore it out and I used
it as a work shirt afterwards. It was hard to
get rid of that one after the six months not
wearing them.

Speaker 16 (36:38):
And we have to put a special shout out to
you too. You've been with us since day one. Oh yes,
I love San Bernardino.

Speaker 14 (36:44):
And I'd also like to put a shout out to
our our new co host, new co Emc Giovanni. And
he's been helping since three years totally. He just sings
the national anthem so incredible. Yes, yeah, like he he's
really a treat to have, Jim, I'm sorry, Well, he

(37:08):
he's just like, I don't know, like a breath of
fresh air out there, you know, because like it's hard
to just do it all on your own. So like
whenever I need a breath, he's like right there to
help or damon, you know, he's always got.

Speaker 12 (37:20):
To put in a plug for him and his amazing mom,
you know, Revend Martindale. When they do their like theater
productions and dance things like for instance, when they did
the My Heir and My Health and Riverside a few
years ago, I mean the production is top level. You
thought you were there at the Disney Show or Magic
Mountain Universal, very very well done. It's on a professional level,

(37:41):
and so shout out to them and the great work.

Speaker 14 (37:43):
I'm sorry I messed your name up, dude, but you
do awesome. Thank you awesomeness like we need, we need
or kids doing.

Speaker 13 (37:51):
Are you coming out dressed as a turkey this year
or a pilgrim? Which one turkey or pilgrim Turkey?

Speaker 14 (37:56):
I was gonna go with old Indiana Rob like I
always do.

Speaker 12 (38:01):
One day.

Speaker 14 (38:04):
If I could find something like that, I might do
that just for you. Yeah, but but no lipstick.

Speaker 15 (38:11):
You know, we need to make him one of those
turkey skirts out.

Speaker 16 (38:14):
A tool and just different.

Speaker 14 (38:17):
Okay, well then I'll hide around.

Speaker 15 (38:19):
You know, I think it could be easy.

Speaker 12 (38:21):
I think that work out just fine.

Speaker 14 (38:24):
Like time, I always think of you. If you put
lipstick on a pig, you know, it's still so I
might as well just be in the anyways, great.

Speaker 16 (38:43):
You never heard that same?

Speaker 7 (38:45):
Yeah, where are you from?

Speaker 12 (38:48):
That's why people ain't from the sound, because that's that's.

Speaker 10 (38:53):
The old Southerned just kept goving to themselves.

Speaker 12 (39:03):
You don't mess with.

Speaker 14 (39:08):
Well, we do have an elected official on the show
for a second, So we just ask you a little
bit of what's going on with our kids in the
city schools. Is everything going good?

Speaker 16 (39:18):
Everything's going great. I'm sure you all are aware of
the fact that we just had a couple of ribbon
cuttings and one was are the pock and Pockham Center,
which is our welcome center. And we're super excited because
that welcome center is an opportunity for us now to
register our scholars in one place, also take care of

(39:42):
their needs as it relates to school services. It's also
an opportunity if you would like to have events. There's
an opportunity to do that for family engagement as well
as community engagement activities. So we're super super excited. It
was definitely a huge investment and.

Speaker 14 (39:59):
We lost a good deal of our history for that investment.
But I did see the benefits in the community center
and the new school police station that they're going to
be building that is our.

Speaker 16 (40:11):
Yes, our public safety building. Can you elaborate when you
say we lost.

Speaker 14 (40:18):
Oh, the church on seven Steet there, So, like we
discussed that in our commission meeting today, and so there
was a keystone that a time capsule that was there
that was removed and we're wondering what happened with all
that stuff. So that's just one aspect of But the
community center we love, we love all that stuff. That's

(40:39):
good stuff. But sometimes, like that's one thing Semonio has
been known for is we we give up our history
for something new. So sometimes you got to do a
cost benefit analysis of what it is. And I think
a family center is very valuable to our you know,
and someday it will be historic.

Speaker 12 (40:55):
That huge building.

Speaker 16 (40:57):
Oh yeah, you're right. I mean we have forty thousand students, right,
so worth it?

Speaker 13 (41:03):
Worth it?

Speaker 14 (41:04):
I mean, I love history, but you cannot always protect it.

Speaker 12 (41:09):
You do your best.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
I know that.

Speaker 12 (41:12):
We're getting around the basis. I wanted to speak about.

Speaker 15 (41:15):
Your book that you have, so you guys kind of
heard the excitement earlier, and I'll tune you guys in
because you didn't get to hear it. During COVID, we
would do a lot of hiking, and on those hikes
we would take our three dogs. And so I have
my one dog, Beastie Boy, and that's the Italian Mastiff, right,

(41:39):
you ever do a.

Speaker 10 (41:40):
Zoom with me, it's a Beastie Boy.

Speaker 15 (41:42):
And then I have the Sharpei that is the Chinese
black Chinese dog. And then I have the Frenchie that's
this little tiny dog, and we would go hiking up
in the foothills of San Marinardino, Cow State, the ponds.
There's a little waterfall up there, if you know where
it is. And and so in the book, it's the

(42:06):
story of doing those things up in our foothills, you know,
playing leap frog with the frogs, seeing the hang gliders
come down, going onto the college campus and talking to
mister Coyote and things like that. And so what I
did is because I want it to become a series
and I want to do branding and all of that
with it. It's called The Doggy Explorers, and then it's

(42:28):
going to be the adventures of and where they go.
And so in this picture that I had sent Robert,
the thing that I made sure that was in it
was the arrowhead. So yes, exactly, local flora and fauna,
the things that go on in this area, and all
of it is indigenous to this area from and I

(42:50):
have a picture of my dog doing this. It's great,
smelling the sunflowers, you know, all of those things, just
things that literally happened up in ours during that time.

Speaker 12 (43:01):
So yeah, awesome. So when is the book going to
be debuty and how can people I'm pre pre purchase
a copy, so.

Speaker 15 (43:09):
It should drop next week. I'm working on finalizations right
now with the publisher. It'll be on Barnes and Noble.
It will be and all you have to do is
search Tanya Rhodes Hensley and it's the only one I
have out right now. It'll be on Amazon and then
it will go worldwide on forty different platforms, so you

(43:30):
can download it on Kendles starting next week and then
I would love to you know, anybody that would like
to do an an author's forum and I would love
to bring out books, sign them, read to kids. I
was a literacy specialist, so for me, it's been a
lifelong dream to write a book.

Speaker 12 (43:52):
Congratulations, thank you, definitely amazing on the in this series.

Speaker 14 (44:00):
I'll take the inspiration you need it because you're working,
still working on your getting well. It's not easy writing
no book that you.

Speaker 5 (44:08):
Definitely not thank you, thank you.

Speaker 12 (44:10):
I would like to pivot to Faran. You know very interesting.
You know you served our country. You have a nonprofit
that raised this awareness around sickle sale trade, but one
of your latest ventures is very inspiring to me. Being
an owner of the Hounds, I believe is the name
of how how that experience has been for you, sir
man own.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (44:33):
I also still have my basketball identity as a child
in high school.

Speaker 12 (44:37):
Is that imposter syn.

Speaker 10 (44:42):
Before this or if you need a dunk on, yeah, man,
the identity of being a basketball player transition town.

Speaker 14 (44:55):
In the court.

Speaker 12 (44:55):
Yes.

Speaker 10 (44:56):
To be around these players and to bring these conversations
to the table do important to not just us but
the community. As she mentioned, one of our main campaigns
is for the love of dogs. Since we're the Inlant
Empire Hounds, and I kept that name. I had a
female boxer. She lived to be fourteen years old. I
kind of put her down in twenty twenty two. I

(45:17):
never dealt with that grief. My dad passed away in nineteen,
my grandpa in twenty twenty, and then my dog, so
there was a lot of grief going on. And so
in this, you know, taking on the hounds, what better
way to support the dog community. Since my heart's not
ready for another pet, then we can give back to
those communities. There's a lot of dog conversations across the country.

(45:39):
Definitely from the spay and neuter to the fostering. There's
like so much dynamic.

Speaker 12 (45:45):
One aspect I loved with the dogs as well as
how for the veterans.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
And how yes support.

Speaker 10 (45:55):
My dog Daisy. I had her since she was eight
weeks old and so when you know, just training her
and developing her. I never made her a service dog.
I never thought about that process. But I always thought
that when she passed, I could handle it naturally. But
those last few weeks I saw her suffering, like I
just just her family members.

Speaker 12 (46:12):
Yeah, the family members.

Speaker 10 (46:14):
That's hard.

Speaker 12 (46:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (46:15):
So with this campaign, our first season opener is this
Sunday to twenty third at the Norton Jim. We're inviting
brands to partner with us, from dog breeders up to
grief counselors for pet owners. So that's that's my contribution
to that. I've partnered with the Semnity of the County
Animal Care and some other small nonprofits and so we're

(46:36):
just looking to have that this season be a part
of that dog community.

Speaker 12 (46:40):
And the last time we spoke, we were over at
Vicky Davis's June jam.

Speaker 11 (46:45):
Oh.

Speaker 12 (46:45):
Yeah, the youth, what is it? The youth Entrepreneur the
septh Amily seventh Annual Youth Entrepreneur event, and you were
speaking about a need for a videographer. You want to
shout that out there and let yeah.

Speaker 10 (46:58):
You know, we know it's twenty twenty five and we
don't expect things for free, but we're looking for people
to come and be a part of that, to help
us film the game, to help us record some of
the conversations some viera just we can capture that. And
again we have ways that you can earn money with us.
Part of the ways we're giving back to those dog
foundations is we're offering thirty percent of our ticket sales

(47:19):
with the organization's code that we provided that they can
buy their ticket and then thirty percent will go to
that foundation if they can buy dog food or whatever,
pay for of Spain or newd or vaccines or shots
or whatever. So that's really the main part. Also personal
connected is my sickle cell trade campaign of course, so
we were talking about sickle cell trade and then also

(47:39):
one of the most important things of that spiritual context
is that relationship of reconciliation and self forgiveness. So we're
storing that our children are so important the stuff that
I discovered at forty years old. I had to go
back and get a new ideology and new philosophy and
theology because I made up stories about my mom and
dad that I was abandoned, did and love me? And
you know, so we make decisions growing up. A lot

(48:00):
of it's connected to our families, and so that disconnection
from our families around twelve years old, by the time
you turn to your peers for love and acceptance, that's
all trial and arrow soul. We talk about imposter syndrome
and identity crisis, and you know, so I went through
that as a military retired. My identity was trapped in
that rank and that camouflage. So when my medical board
took place, when that rank was gone, I don't know

(48:22):
who I was. So that triggered the suicide, audiation, the depression,
and anxiety discovering what's next. Because we believe that with
our curriculum and our education, we can catch that. Yes
early eight years old, imagine you can restore that heart
of that child to that mom and dad at that age.
Now that honor your father and mother is not I

(48:42):
love you every day or like you, but it's how
I think about my parents.

Speaker 12 (48:46):
You know, I think it would be so important to
have what you do, especially when we're thinking about mental
health and esteem and identity for our kids of color
throughout this school district, right, because they need to hear
that we're still battling the stigma attached to mental health.

Speaker 15 (49:03):
Right.

Speaker 12 (49:03):
You know, to me, when you reach for help, that's empowerment,
that's self love, that's self care, and we need to
continue to let them know the truth about this. One
out of four Americans will go through a mental health
crisis and each given year, Right, So this is something
that you chance might happen to you and to have
the tools to navigate those things are so important.

Speaker 10 (49:24):
But let me give you real time experience. Just a
few weeks ago, I discovered as men, we suffer in silence,
our weakness. Right, can't be vulnerable? Well, I'm made a
decision at fourteen that I'm not gonna be vulnerable. I
have to defend myself in relationships. How I healed that
was with my personal development education, the listening commercations that
we teach. But then I saw that in relationships, I

(49:47):
was defending my intention versus how I landed on people.
So my personality, my character, my behavior, my body language.
Sometimes you hurt people with that right now, right, So
what I discovered was that I was defending my attention
because I was. I was hurt too, So if I'm hurt,

(50:07):
then I'm lashing out. But that's not how we're supposed
to be as Christ followers. So when I saw that
part and then it led me to James five sixteen,
where you confess your thoughts to one another, then I
got that in the spiritual context, and so my mind
was like, well, if I can find my freedom in
confessing my thoughts to one another in the word, what

(50:28):
that did from my heart was and allowed me to
be vulnerable again.

Speaker 12 (50:32):
Definitely, No, I love that, and.

Speaker 10 (50:35):
Yeah, well so so. So it's funny you say that,
because what I discovered in that same conversation was I
have this fear of this conversation that I have to
choose love the way it is the way it isn't.
I also have to choose being unloved the way it
is and the way it isn't. So when I can
choose being unloved and loved, I'm in that space of peace.

(50:56):
Because everybody may not love me, I have to love
myself first.

Speaker 12 (51:00):
So number one, So.

Speaker 10 (51:01):
If you can choose life the way it is and
the way it isn't, some people just say that's the
way it is. You have to complete the circle. That's
the way it is, that's the way it isn't. And
by putting all that together, I got free from a
fourteen forty one year old decision that I'm not vulnerable,
that I can express being vulnerable because my spiritual context
is I can confess my thoughts and that gives a

(51:22):
power back. I love that as men were not taught
to be open and you talk about that, oh, that's
a flaw though it is, it's a shortcoming, and I'm
proof that you can.

Speaker 12 (51:34):
If you willing, you can grow. But you've got to
be willing to put the work got you know, be
it not do it only definitely, definitely, No. I love
this and we definitely need to have a deeper dive
with this conversation. I'm bringing gentlemen from all different ethnicities,
all different faith practices and talk about our mental health

(51:55):
and our our connection with what the whatever we define as.

Speaker 10 (51:59):
A it's just low moved stress. See on my other
talk show, we talk about the labels. Sometimes we identify
those labels and it traps us. But what if it's
just low mood, stress, very very it can be mental toughness.

Speaker 12 (52:15):
Definitely, definitely. And that's one thing I really enjoyed when
I have the opportunity to be a part of your show,
is where we had those talks about mental health. You know,
you know, I enjoy sports not as much as I
used to when I used to play, but the mental
health aspect is something that we deal with, especially as
people of color here in this nation. The microaggressions to

(52:35):
the things that we this is the additional layer of
obstacles that we have to go.

Speaker 14 (52:40):
Through, right.

Speaker 10 (52:40):
I don't think anybody escapes that. When we talk about,
you know, people coming from other countries to this country
from famine and trying to survive. The other the white
skinned community that were hyphenated with us, that are no
longer hyphenated, we forget about that they came to this
country with their own struggles. They may not address those publicly,

(53:01):
but they'd still suffer some in silence.

Speaker 15 (53:04):
Well, you know what, one thing and I love that,
But one thing that we talked about before we got
on air today, we had we were having a conversation
and it was you called it imposter syndrome, and I said,
I learned a long time ago that it's not that

(53:26):
I can't, it's what changes do I need to make?

Speaker 6 (53:30):
Two?

Speaker 15 (53:31):
And so yeah, I really think that everyone else needs
to hear just that much of that conversation that we
had because it was really powerful in those few minutes.
So thank you for that, you guys tonight.

Speaker 14 (53:46):
We always get powerful on this show. Let me tell you, well,
this has been great. We've learned three different incredible stories
in one hour. And I have to know that this
last week has just been a blur to me. But
I got to like really see our community in the
county before the rain, and now I'm gonna go see

(54:07):
it after it. And let me tell you, our county
is incredible.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
Team.

Speaker 14 (54:12):
We have middle things. If you're not going up to
col State for an evening stroll once in a while,
you should.

Symphony orchestru You need to go. You need to go.

uh concert.

Speaker 12 (54:36):
And we know we are.

Speaker 13 (54:38):
I've always shout out because I sit on the board,
and so I got to give a shout out to
the symphony. Right, it's not Decembergardino City, It's the regional
Symphony Orchestra. It's everybody symphony orchestra.

Speaker 15 (54:50):
You know.

Speaker 13 (54:51):
Uh, Anthony Partner is our or is our maestro, not superstar.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Megastar mega, got it.

Speaker 13 (55:00):
He decided to extend. We just extended his contract.

Speaker 12 (55:04):
We extended.

Speaker 14 (55:07):
Whenever I share his work, I'm serious, he'll get all
that posting like it. That is how good he is.

Speaker 13 (55:13):
He is outstanding. We are lucky. And when I say lucky,
now that I've been on the board for four years,
I've gone around to other philharmonics and and symphony orchestras.
We are blessed here in San Bernardino.

Speaker 12 (55:27):
We are blessed to.

Speaker 13 (55:28):
Have one of the best orchestras culturally. You need to
come out and see what it has to offer. I
have grown as a person just going to the conscience
and meeting other people and sharing about our orchestra to
other parts of the region La Orange County. I take
my wife along with me too, of course, because she's
an ambassadist.

Speaker 14 (55:53):
If there's any board positions or anything, because there's several
boards associated with the symphony, Please can considered Yannie because
he has a passion for the symphony.

Speaker 13 (56:04):
Do you know he just joined the one hundred Black
Men of the Illan Empire.

Speaker 14 (56:07):
Oh, so he doesn't have any time now, that's right,
because he's gonna have to be mentoring kids.

Speaker 12 (56:12):
He's gonna have to be mentoring kids.

Speaker 14 (56:13):
Do you guys have.

Speaker 15 (56:16):
It?

Speaker 13 (56:16):
It's not like that.

Speaker 12 (56:17):
It's not like not like that anymore when I was president.

Speaker 13 (56:22):
When I was president, it definitely does.

Speaker 12 (56:25):
But he got lucky.

Speaker 13 (56:27):
He just got pinned.

Speaker 14 (56:28):
What was that three weeks ago graduation?

Speaker 13 (56:31):
He just got pinned. So it's the one hundred is
the most predominant African American organization for mentoring children in
the nation. And we started our organization eleven years ago.
About saying that we started the Turkey.

Speaker 15 (56:45):
Trot, is it really one hundred or or do you
take we started out.

Speaker 12 (56:48):
With twenty seven men.

Speaker 5 (56:51):
Gotta go?

Speaker 12 (56:52):
Yeah, we had it.

Speaker 13 (56:53):
We started out with twenty seven men back then and
April fourteenth to April fifteen, twenty fourteen at American Leading
Post fourteen is when I call the meeting.

Speaker 12 (57:03):
And we started out there. Definitely, definitely, Okay, it was
a beautiful, beautiful gala. You know, it's very nice when
you see organizations do it right, you know, and not
spare any expense. And then most important that the community
comes out and supports that right because at the end
of the day, these are fundraisers. And when the community,

(57:23):
when the Divine Nine and Links and other organizations come
out by tables and just investing our community, investing in
our youth, it's a beautiful thing. And there's a great
need there. So the fact that people want to come
there address that is a beautiful thing. So I encourage
anyone out here, especially within the Inland Empire, if you're
interested in connecting with a group of positive brothers that

(57:45):
are not talking about but change, but are actually being
the change and investing their time and energy in our
youth and within ourselves one another as well. Because I'm
there learning from these brothers, I'm you know, I'm trying
to become a homeowner. I've yet to create my kids, right,
so I'm learning from these brothers what it takes to
have a business that employees one hundred plus people. What

(58:05):
are some of the different opportunities. A lot of the
brothers in this chapter, a few of them are pilots, right,
and I wanted to learn how to fly as well.
So I'm connecting with them and I'm gonna be taken
to the sky this year for real, for real.

Speaker 14 (58:18):
Yeah, And that's that's what community is all about. I mean,
we lift each other up and you know, hopefully that
wrung is you can reach.

Speaker 12 (58:26):
It then, right, man, It's all possible. It's all possible.

Speaker 14 (58:30):
