WEBVTT - KATY PERRY 

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Hello to Lilah, Hello, miss Katie Perry. I'm so happy

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>because it is like a childhood dream come true. I mean,

0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I have driven on the coast so many days, and

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>or had my parents drive me on the coast so

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>many days, listening to your choosing voice with me on

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the phone lines. Is the amazingly talented, incredibly successful, hundred

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>bazillion fans following you on every uh social media platform

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and dang girl, did you look good riding tiger? Thank you?

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>And also just a just a normal human being. That's

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>what's most important. You know, you're the record folks, and

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>everybody the producers sent me all this these facts about you.

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Know you're amazing success. But I love the fact that

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>whenever I see you on any show or anything, you

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>seem so down to earth and reel. Well. I put

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.759
<v Speaker 1>my pants on one leg at a time, just like

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>everybody else. Um, I can't fly, and you know I

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>won't make it out here alive. So I think all

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>those reminders you know, level me every day. But I

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>think I do have a gift and I love using

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it and I love sharing it, and I love making

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>people happy. I think that makes me really happy to

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>make other people happy, but um, I really feel very normal.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>And also I'm sometimes just completely surprised by all of this.

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Not surprised because I work really really hard, but just

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>like super grateful. Right, Well, you do work very, very hard,

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and you've got a new album out and you're going

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.640

<v Speaker 1>the tour dates. And it's going to be a really

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 1>a super fun show. It's always an experience when you're

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>coming to one of my shows. It's larger than life.

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 1>It's not just one one look or one scene. It's

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be like, uh, you know some of my

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>heroes like well Disney, just like bringing a whole difference

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to real world to an arena. So it's super fun.

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>So the album is Witness and we're we started playing

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>a song off of it a couple of weeks ago.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Janey sent it to me and she said, de stir

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>because I'm in a wonderful relationship with a wonderful man

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.359
<v Speaker 1>and we're married and I love him. Deeply. But before

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>all that, I was in a situation let's just leave

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.519
<v Speaker 1>it at that. And she sent me the single save

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>a draft. He's like, you got to listen to this song.

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>And I listened to it and I'm like, oh my gosh,

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>how many times did I do that? You write the words,

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you come up with the letter, what you're gonna say,

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 1>how you're going to say it, so they finally understand

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.399
<v Speaker 1>how much you love them and it all works out.

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I know, And you know, I've been in that cycle

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 1>before in a relationship and it had kind of re

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 1>ignited the relationship. And um, there's only so many times

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>you can reignite the relationship or want to or should

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes you just need to write it and never

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>send it. It's just that exercise, you know, that cathartic exercise. Um,

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't press send. It's like a lesson in self control,

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what. That's what best friends are for. Yeah,

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>you do send it to your your best friend. For

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>my producer, Janey has been my best friend for almost

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>thirty years and she knows me through and through. And

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean that when I say that, because she was

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the birth and coach for my two bio babies. Um,

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>but we have a packed, we have a life packed.

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>You do not hit send until you send it to

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>your best friend exactly. I mean, I like, I like, um,

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>drafting and then sleeping on it because you know, for me,

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 1>my emotions get very heightened in the evening. I don't

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>know everybody else, it's just like one of those things.

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And then in the morning when I wake up, I'm like, oh,

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad I didn't send that. I can get

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can get through another day without this situation,

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:29.359
<v Speaker 1>and in nighttime comes around and that's why my show

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 1>is so successful. Yeah. Well, I mean, by the way,

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I've been listening to you my whole life, um, and

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>your voice is it's so soothing and I think everybody

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>feels really safe listening to you. Um. It's uh. Many

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a coast drives from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara have

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>been had just listening to you speak. So you're kind

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>of like a bit of a meditation. So thank you

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 1>so much for everything you do and how calm you

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>keep us all. Thank you. But you know what it's

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 1>true about our emotions. They are heightened at night. That's

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>when addictions kick in. That's when your destructive habits kick in.

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.039
<v Speaker 1>That's when that's when asthma people who are asthmatics. I

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>have a daughter who's severe asthmatic. That's when you're asthma

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>reactions kick in is late at night. And so that

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the reasons that God has me here

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>at night, because that's when the monsters crawl out from

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:29.119
<v Speaker 1>under the bed and you you hit sinned. Yeah, I know. Well,

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad for you. So seriously, part of part of

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 1>your mission is I'm guessing, especially from the lyrics of

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the new songs on your new album, is to help

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>people realize how empowered they are and how blessed they are.

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 1>And I'm reading the lyrics and I'm just devouring them,

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and I have to ask you this. The lyrics of

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of your new songs, UM talks about how

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>you've had to fight for the right to be true

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to who you are, yes authenticity. So I was going

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>to ask who who? And I don't I'm not asking

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you to tattle tale or name names, but what situations

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>for young women, especially who are listening. I have seven daughters, UM,

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>what situations have you been in where you now can

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.679
<v Speaker 1>look back and go, thank god I was true to myself.

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Thank God I didn't let them control me or steal

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>me or make me into something else. Yeah. I mean,

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's really prevalent in all the social media

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>interactions these days. I think, um, you know, uh, it's

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 1>it seems small, but I think it's a big exercise

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to kind of step away from your phone and from

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 1>your Instagram and from posting or like, you know, I

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>think we're all in this cycle of trying to like

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>take a picture of everything and then doctor it up

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>or make our lives look so fabulous or keep you know,

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>keep up with these appearances or you know, keeping up

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>with the Joneses or whatever, and it's not real, and

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>it's making everyone so really, um lonely and disconnected. And

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>they think they're being connected because they're getting the like

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>so they're getting the comments. But um, I just encourage

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>people to set their phone down and actually, you know,

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>have real community with their friends, or try and go

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>on a hike and leave their phone in the car,

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>or um you know, socialized but not socialized on the internet.

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Because I think that we're getting really caught up in

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 1>um creating this alternate reality that we could never keep

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>up with this idea of perfection. Um. And I think

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>it's making young people, especially young girls, feel more insecure

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>than ever. Um and uh. I think I did this

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>experiment where I went four days um live streaming on

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>YouTube and I showed everything. I showed, UM all this

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>it all of the dark circles, the good, the bad,

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the ugly. You know, people think pop stars or like

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>people in Hollywood are perfect. They're really not. They're really

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>just normal. And I don't. I don't want to be perfect,

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to show that kind of thing off.

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>And UM, I think there's really really real beauty in

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the imperfection. And um, I want to encourage that imperfectious

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>that okaynus with imperfection in young people. I think that

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>social media is kind of a real dark place. An

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>even though like you know, I have a hundred million

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>people on the winter following me, which is hilarious, I

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>say that, but it's I go on there and and

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I just it's like a lot of people that are

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>arguing and not really talking with each other. They're talking

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>at each other, and like you go on, you make

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>a statement and or you like argue with the person

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>that you know, like, would you say those things to

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>those people when you meet them? Would you say them

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>to their face? You know, we live in this unaccountable

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>phase online which is really really strange. So, um, I

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.200
<v Speaker 1>just I like I encourage community more. Um Like, I'm

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 1>doing a real interactive um thing with the Boys and

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Girls Club of America all over America during my tour

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 1>where um my fans get the opportunity to instead of

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>buying a ticket, they can earn the ticket through volunteering

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>or doing a good deed through the Boys and Girls

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Called of America Because I think the kids there are

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.199
<v Speaker 1>the future they are and you know, if those kids

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.679
<v Speaker 1>that young can um learn the right thing the right

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>ways and have better tools, than we're gonna have a

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>better future. But if everyone just logs onto Instagram, I'm like,

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm out, even even though like I posed, But you know,

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about the Boys and Girls Club

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit more because not only can they

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>earn their ticket, but a dollar of every ticket sold

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>for your for your Witness tour goes to the Boys

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and Girls clubs locally. Right, absolutely, Yeah, that's wonderful, thank you. No,

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean here's the thing is like it's over a

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty years old and it's tried and true. UM,

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I think people forget that there's a boys and girls

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:15.560
<v Speaker 1>club around the corner from basically every one, and UM

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 1>that they can get involved there. You know, they don't

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>have to start a new organization. And if they do,

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.319
<v Speaker 1>that's great too. But UM, a lot of people, I

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 1>think right now, they're like, well, we've done the donate thing.

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>How can I really give my time? How can I

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 1>really give my energy? How can I actually have a

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>real interaction with a person? You know, how can I

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>touch a heart and UM learn and gives you know,

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to just click. I don't want to

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>just click a button on the internet anymore. I really

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>want to go out there and do it myself. My

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 1>whole mission right now for me is like I do

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>have that feeling of like wanting to change the world.

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 1>And I know I have a lot of spotlight UM

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 1>and advantage and privilege and et cetera. But like, if

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't even change myself, how can I change the world?

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Or if I can't even affect you know, the people

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I work with, UM on a day to day basis,

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>how can I change the world, or like even living

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles, I'm like, oh, I want to change

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the world, or I want to go to you know,

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>crazy places in the world and affect it. But like,

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the homeless rate in Los Angeles is crazier than ever.

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 1>If you turn one wrong corner downtown, it looks like

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.559
<v Speaker 1>a refugee camp and you're and I'm thinking to myself, wait,

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.320
<v Speaker 1>hold on, maybe I just need to help in my

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>own neighborhood, in my own community. The Boys and Girls

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Club is such a great way to do that because,

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>like you said, they're tried and true. They've been around forever,

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and the good they do transforms lives. If you can

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>get a hold of a kid when they're eight or

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 1>nine or ten and give them a sense of self

0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>worth and a sense of family, so they don't join

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the gang, they don't you know, start using, they don't

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>start drinking and drugging at twelve or fifteen. They don't start,

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, disrespecting their bodies and using their bodies for whatever.

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Then you you you didn't just impact a child, You

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>just saved a life. Yeah, I agree with you, And

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be what, you know, like my purposes

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.959
<v Speaker 1>on this next tour on the Witness the tour, UM,

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>it's just to see people and to witness them and

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>to hear their story and to connect with them, UM

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and help them and encourage them in any way possible

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I can um, whether it's just to be there physically

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>or uh, just to hear them, to give them that

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:34.439
<v Speaker 1>moment um I don't know, just like you know, make

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 1>them feel like they do exist, that they are special,

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 1>they do have a purpose. Just overall encouragement. I'm so excited.

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go to boys and Growth clubs all

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:47.680
<v Speaker 1>across America and um really learn kind of what the

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>state of America is right now and really meet the

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>people and really connect with them. That's my goal and

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>my purpose for this next tour. The song that we're

0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 1>playing right now, um You is fun and wonderful and

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.680
<v Speaker 1>helpful when we're angst NG. But the song that touched

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>me the deepest when I listened to the each song

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 1>on the new album really is the title cut Witness.

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh Great. That says it all. That's to me. That's

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the whole philosophy of my faith and my life wrapped

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>up in just a few words, so beautifully. So thank you.

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 1>For that. We're all here just to be connected. That's

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>what we want so badly, Like at the end of

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the day, we just want to be seen. We just

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 1>want to connect. We want to feel loved and like

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>feel like we exist. And you know, we do everything,

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>like we work so hard, we like grind, we we

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.559
<v Speaker 1>try and make as much money as possible to be seen,

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to be connected, maybe even with one individual when we

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>lay our head down at the pillow at night, we

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>just want to like we want to connect to that person,

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I think it's as simple as that,

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Like human connection is what we're here for. I had

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 1>a path st that gave a two part sermon probably

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>thirty forty years ago. He doesn't even remember it because

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I brought it up to him a couple of times.

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 1>His name is Mike McCorkle, and his message was in

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 1>two parts. In the first part, he said when when

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I die, he says, I believe when I come face

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 1>to face with my creator, He's going to ask me

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>two questions. Number one, what did you do with me

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>while you were alive? And number two, what did you

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>do with every single person that I put in your

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>path to connect with? And so the first weeks, you know,

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>talk was about what did you do with me? Did

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you did you make room in your heart for me?

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Did you believe in me? And the second part was

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>what did you do with every person that I put

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>in your path? And he said, people aren't put in

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 1>your path by accident. The person you're setting next to

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 1>on the plane isn't there by accident. And as he

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 1>went through this, I went that Katie, that changed me

0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 1>on a cellular level to realize that my whole purpose

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>is to share love with the people that God places

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>in my life. Absolutely all you can do is just

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 1>be kind time and time again in every circumstance. Just

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>be kind and well, like I said when I listened

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to Witness and then I read the lyrics that I went,

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 1>she just she summed it up in like three and

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>a half minutes. Beautifully, Thank you, beautifully, No, thank you.

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think, I think, no matter if you're

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Joe Schmo or Katy Perry, you just want to connect,

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, no matter if you have it all or

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have anything, you just want to connect. Well,

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 1>you connect with my listeners and you know this, I mean,

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>it's in such a huge world. Thank you. I appreciate

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys playing Savis draft um and UM. I know

0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>everyone can resonate with that because we've all been there.

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.760
<v Speaker 1>We've all wanted to send that tech or we have

0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and then we realize, oh, now we have to deal

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 1>with that or the email, you know, or the letter.

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes it's just good to sleep on it. The

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>line in that song that I cracked up with is

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't usually mess around with with coins, but you've been,

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, tossing a few. How many times do I

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 1>toss the coin? Okay, if it comes up heads, that

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>means I'm supposed to call him. That's what that means. No, no, no, no,

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>no right right right, no, I know, HI know. Why

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 1>don't you just listen? Why don't you just listen to

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the green, yellow red light in your heart? If we

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>all listen to that more, we would be in a

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 1>better place. Yeah we would. That's the original coin flipper.

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 1>But we don't because we're knuckle heads. And when you love,

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the heart wants what the heart wants. Yeah, I get it.

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I understand. Well, thank you for giving us so much

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.160
