47
00:02:53,880 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: because we pulled this quote from one of your song lyrics. Actually, actually,

48
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: after I read the quote of the day, I'm curious

49
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 4: to see if you all know which song it is. Okay, okay,

50
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 4: so our quote of the day, don't try to please

51
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 4: no one? Accept the one inside Jackie's song?

52
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, And that song is definitely I feel

53
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: like that song is like one of our anthems and

54
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,280

Speaker 2: Our fans know.

56
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,520

57
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 6: how much that song means to us.

58
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,720

Speaker 4: to read it one more time to make sure the

61
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: people in the back heard it. Don't try, don't you

62
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,920

Speaker 3: An anthem nonalist because and I love that quote because

68
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: I think we spend so much time just just trying

69
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: to be and trying to show up and trying to,

70
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,960

74
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 3: we spend so much time time to work so hard

75
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: for that, and sometimes you just got to look in.

76
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: The mirror and go, look are you happy? I am

77

00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: that quote right there is.

79
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: But it's that song is about bar one about favorites

80
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 3: because you know, especially and I'm thinking I'm probably already

81
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 3: jumping in, but I think about our journey.

82
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: And in the beginning, so many of people are like,

83
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 2: this is crazy, where are you all doing? Like no

84
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 2: one's gonna listen to this, no one's gonna boy this news,

85
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: like no one's gonna.

86
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: And every time we just had to listen to our hearts,

87
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 3: we were like, you know what, like maybe it's not

88
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: the best song in the world, but this is you know,

89
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 3: this is our experience and this is us how we

90
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: grew up, this is who we are, and we just

91
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: want to tell that story.

92
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: Like if there's no fame, no fortune game from it.

93
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: If someone hears it a go man like no, if

94
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: they're right, I need to follow my heart, like I

95
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: need to just change my dreams. Then we've done our

96
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: jobs and so love well, love the.

97
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: Praes, the phrase of the day, the quote of the day.

98
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: I love the quote of the day.

99
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: There preaching go ahead, tree, go ahead tree.

100
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say on the opposite side of that, like

101
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 6: we've gone to shows and after singing that song, you'll

102
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 6: see like you know, grown men boohoo and our women saying,

103
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 6: you know what, I've had this hobby my entire life,

104
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 6: but I've never had to us to actually follow my

105
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 6: heart and do it and look back.

106
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: But you know, just three o Goop falls.

107
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 6: For Mississippi singing songs about our life and our journey

108
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 6: are actually inspiring people to step out on the limb,

109
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 6: to step out on bath and follow their own hearts.

110
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: It really means a lot.

111
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: Uh huh, y'all is so inspiring. And we want to

112
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: start with your origin story, right because I know country music.

113
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: It's I feel like more black people are listening to

114
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: country music these days. I know that you have some

115
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: diehard fans from like day one, but like there are

116
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: new people who are like, oh, I'm dealing with this,

117
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: So tell us, what is your origin story? How did

118
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: you become the chapel heart that we see today.

119
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 6: I feel like Chapel Hearts started before we realized it started,

120
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 6: because like.

121
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: We're all related. Our grandma had seventeen kids. There's one

122
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: hundred and eight of us, and so we know it's

123
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: I get to take it in.

124
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 6: Yeah you heard that right, seventeen chilreng time, all single births,

125
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 6: one hundred eight grandchildren. It's literally madness, absolutely okay madness.

126
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 6: And you know, and our grandfather was a minister, and

127
00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 6: their dad's a minister.

128
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: So we grew up a lot like we grew up

129
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: in church and like singing in a choir. And I

130
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: realized it like much later in life. It kind of

131
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: looked like a musical because like anytime the family.

132
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 6: Was together, like you say a word and then somebody

133
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 6: else starts singing, or our aunts, our ann we're like

134
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 6: pull a keyboard out of our trunk and then start playing,

135
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 6: and there's like I feel like for every situation, you know,

136
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 6: birthday parties, divorce parties, you know, somebody's graduating, somebody had

137
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 6: a baby, there's gonna be a music eventually at some point.

138
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 6: And I think kind of our hometown, Popularville, Mississippi, literally

139
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 6: it's it's predominantly white, and country music.

140
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: Was always what was played.

141
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 6: So no matter whether you were at school, on the

142
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 6: school bus and the grocery store, country music is what

143
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 6: was played just all around and is what we listened to.

144
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: And I think of all the genres.

145
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 6: That we listened to growing up, country music was the

146
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 6: one genre that we could truly kind of relate with.

147
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 6: Like the stuff they're talking about in the song was

148
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 6: like our country has really went out there doing it too,

149
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 6: so out there playing barefoot. So it was like that's

150
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 6: the that was the genre that we kind of, yeah,

151
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 6: migrated to all.

152
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: Of our lives.

153
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like you know what I mean, But it's

154
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: almost like it's just I mean, you know I think that,

155
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: I mean, that's exactly it. It's like, you know, it's

156
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: one and one time Tree was like Teres says, she

157
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: was like, you know, we just we.

158
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: Didn't really we didn't. We didn't really even.

159
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: Have money to do like you know, well, I guess

160
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: our everybody was cool.

161
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: We didn't really have money. I was saying, I don't

162
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: remember really.

163
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: Seeing people with like grims and and like you know

164
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 3: what I mean, like even in the two thousand and

165
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 3: early two thousands and nineties, and everybody had the big

166
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: grims and like it was. It was it was putting

167
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: putting the rooms on the throat like the old schools,

168
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: and like we can say, have no money for it.

169
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: So we were like barely.

170
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: We barely had the car to get to town and

171
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: if we needed to go to town.

172
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: But I get somebody who was out ground, like you

173
00:08:59,160 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 2: don't get about.

174
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: So it was so but I think that you know,

175
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: so in country music when it was like you know,

176
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: look I had like I'm catching it around the town.

177
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: And that's like that's the truth. That was. That was

178
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: our experience, you know what I mean. And so so

179
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: we we really really really grew like.

180
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: You know, that was that was that was kind of

181
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: what we were, Like I said, like that's what we

182
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: grew up in. But also it was a little bit

183
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: more special for me because I always tell people you probably.

184
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: Couldn't believe it. But I used to talk about when

185
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: I was little and my mom was like, now, like, kid,

186
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: you have to get this girl to hook. She was like,

187
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: I was able to sleep, like figure out what to do.

188
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 2: So my daddy figured.

189
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: Out that after dinner he would put me in the

190
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: car and he would drive me around and he was

191
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: literally and just and all like it takes a little bit,

192
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: and then I would just knock out and go to sleep.

193
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: But when we were driving around, he would put on.

194
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: Like Kitty Rogers and George Jones and Dolly Parton and

195
00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: we would John.

196
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: Michael mcgo Losing Soul to see who could seek at

197
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: the fastest. And I said, we were like two hillbillies

198
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: just bumping down the road. But that's where I really.

199
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: Learned to fall in love with country music. He would

200
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: he would describe the stories to me, and they were

201
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: like being laid out or I was asking these questions, Dad,

202
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: who was Ruby and why is she going to? Like

203
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: don't take your love to down?

204
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: What happened?

205
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 4: Like?

206
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: So I would get in these stories.

207
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: And my dad would be like, well not you, Like

208
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: you would just explain them to me, and it was

209
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: just like it's really where I fell in love with

210
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: the storytelling and the writing and country music. And then

211
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: you know, I feel like after a certain age, I

212
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: think my mom and dad was just like, here, take

213
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: these kids in mine. And so I always say, I

214
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: feel like I raised my death and all our little

215
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 3: brother and so we would get in my car and

216
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 3: it was just like a music experience. It was it

217
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: was country music, it was rock, it was goss.

218
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: It was of choreography. Because about my sister. Y'all, listen,

219
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: you can get in that car with her if you

220
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: want to. But one thing about it. You're going to perform.

221
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: You want to have a performance.

222
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 6: There's no kidding in the car and just singing a

223
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 6: long note. We have a part. You gotta be on key,

224
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 6: got to sing the army all the things.

225
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: So she.

226
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: Get a ride with somebody else. Listen, she leg over

227
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: on the side. You know, keep my little friend sleepy.

228
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: I'll know if it's so bad you won't go and

229
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: you sleep, you can get out.

230
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,920

00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: And so.

278
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 4: I'm from Louisiana. I'm born and raised in New Orleans,

279
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: so like I know, like your hometown is not that

280
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 4: far from New Orleans, right, But for a lot of

281
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 4: our listeners who have no idea where Poplarville, Mississippi is,

282
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 4: And you all kind of gave a little bit of

283
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: a description of what your town was like, right.

284
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: But can you paint them a picture of.

285
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: What it's like being three of over one hundred grandchildren

286
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: in a small town that's predominantly white.

287
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: And now y'all are big time country music stars.

288
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: What is that like being at home in Poplarville with

289
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: that background?

290
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: Maybe you can't go to the Dollar General without some stopped.

291
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: She stopped by the story to get into your.

292
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: Camera all the way here, and the girl she said, oh,

293
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: oh my god. Yeah, I'll say Walmart trips are not

294
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: the same. First of all, we don't have a Walmart

295
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: in Poplarville.

296
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: We've got to go to Picky Union to go to Walmar.

297
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: And so when I tell you what, we better know

298
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 3: what we're going in to get and get on now,

299
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: because let me tell you, it is like I feel

300
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: like it is the people of Perk River County.

301
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: It is their opportunity to go. Me and my mom

302
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: love you.

303
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: We watched you on a g G And then it

304
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: just starts to pour out I was up with.

305
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: My birth mom.

306
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: She I took her to I have to her come

307
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: to Walmart with me and she we walked out.

308
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: By the time we walked out, she said, hey, I

309
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: ain't going with you here again. Yeah, that was it,

310
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: she said.

311
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: I usually don't even get out of Walmart with nobody.

312
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 3: She said, but I'll put you. But this will be

313
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: the leg guy, she said. People stopping too, and she said,

314
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: you are too famous to be going to Walmart.

315
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: And then don't help it.

316
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: It doesn't help that our grandma game was beginning the gap.

349
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 6: Like it seems like I always say, Papa Bill is

350
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 6: about forty minutes and forty years away from New Orleans.

351
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, Like it's crazy to think about. But it

352
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: is living. I feel like we live in it's like

353
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: another time almost, Yeah, but I love it. And there's

354
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: been there's been there's been such a turn in and.

355
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: Like you know, I don't know, I guess, like you know,

356
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: our little city is so proud of us and they

357
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: are like which you know, I feel like, I don't know,

358
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 3: maybe twenty years ago may have not, may have not

359
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: been the same.

360
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 2: I had a whole wasn't.

361
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 3: About twenty years ago, and I know I was giving uh,

362
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: I was giving Papa Bille all a lot of it okay.

363
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 2: In the city.

364
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 3: But but it's but it's been such an amazing I

365
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: think that you know, us having a face to jump

366
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: out and do you know what we did and what

367
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: we do I think has has brought our little city

368
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: together in a way that I think that we didn't

369
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 3: see really growing up a lot, like you know, and

370
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: there's a it's a weird thing because they in the

371
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: growing up in Poplarville.

372
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a.

373
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: Lot of the probably there's probably a lot of like

374
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: racism and in like this and prenjudice.

375
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 2: I use the word prench. There's a lot of prenjuice.

376
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: But there was something about you could live in this

377
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 3: like you can if you look at the city. Yeah,

378
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: there's a lot of prejudice, but all but when you

379
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 3: broke it down with communities, like it didn't matter if

380
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 3: you were black, like green or brown, if you lived

381
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 3: in the same community, you looked out for each other

382
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 3: and there was a common respect for each other.

383
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: And you know, this was the one thing that I love.

384
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 7: I said.

385
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: People would always come and.

386
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: Bring My grandmother was a housekeeper, and our grandfather was

387
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: like a like a shade tree mechanic. But you know,

388
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: people would bring so that was like the work that

389
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: they had. And she had seventeen kids and all those

390
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 3: grand kids. But people would always come bye and say,

391
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 3: hey this see I had some extra you know, King goods.

392
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: I cleaned out my cabine. I had King Goods. I know,

393
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: you got these babies here you go. Or they had

394
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: way too many greens.

395
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: In this marvel, so they like bringing like, you know,

396
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: they bring her a bunch of greens. Or you know,

397
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: mister Raymond lived down the road and he had cows,

398
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 3: and so if they would kill a cow, they would

399
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 3: if they had any extra beef left over between him

400
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 3: and his sons and his family. He'd bring this, bring

401
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: miss Batra some because he knew.

402
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: I was like, and I said, I would say that

403
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: in the our show sometimes and I said, we would always.

404
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 3: We always got to see the power of the community,

405
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: and people would always come over and give a gift,

406
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: and a lot of those people were not black, and

407
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: I was like, it was it was the beauty. And

408
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: I think that it really the way that we came up,

409
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: you know, we we came up and we saw that

410
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 3: you can. We knew some of the people did not

411
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 3: like black people first set, but they they loved and

412
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 3: respected our grandmother and live.

413
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: I tell you what, take would have taken a bullet

414
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: for her. And I don't know.

415
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 8: I think it was just one of the most beautiful

416
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 8: ways to be raised because you got.

417
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: A chance to see, you know, sometimes how the world

418
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: really sees you. But also he got to see that

419
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: it showed us the lesson and no matter what, like

420
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 3: look out.

421
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 2: For your community, look out for each other, like you know,

422
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: for taking people you love.

423
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: That is so beautiful. Oh my goodness, thank you for

424
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 1: sharing it. And it's so funny when y'all tell these stories.

425
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: I like, I'm a visual person, so I'm just imaginate

426
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: imagining y'all in the car about the you know, had

427
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: a little brother on the side of the road because

428
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: he's not singing it, he's not.

429
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: Lit with y'all.

430
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: It's just I love the story so much, and I

431
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: want to know what are some of the challenges that

432
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: you all have faced while pursuing country music in this

433
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: largely all white industry, because I know I've seen posts

434
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: on social media, you know, when Beyonce dropped her album,

435
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: when other black country artists are, you know, dropping music.

436
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: What are some of the challenges that you on faced.

437
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 6: I think with us being black women in country music,

438
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 6: that kind of it is a strike, not a strike,

439
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 6: but it kind of makes it hard.

440
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: And then you have on top of that that we're women,

441
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: and then on top of that, we're a trio.

442
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 6: And you know, a lot of people try to the industry,

443
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 6: they try to stay away from the groups, the trios,

444
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 6: especially all women trios, because they.

445
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: Say, you know, it's just crazy and their family. So

446
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: you know, it's a hot mess. But I think I

447
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: think we can kind of all kind of touch on it.

448
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: But I think one of the things that we have

449
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: struggled with is just kind of getting that recognition.

450
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 9: I think just.

451
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 6: Like we've been in Nashville now close to close to

452
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 6: ten years and just kind of on the scene, kind

453
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 6: of making moves and doing all the things and working.

454
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 6: And I think sometimes, especially like right before we did

455
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 6: the AGT thing, we just kind of got to a

456
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 6: place where we were like we're tired, Like we are

457
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 6: writing these songs, we're taking them to the labels and

458
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 6: to the people.

459
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: And you know, like this is what we have and

460
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: it was always you know, this is good, but it

461
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: was never good enough, I guess you could say. And so.

462
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 6: Just one thing I think we've struggled with on our

463
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 6: journey is just learning to stay resilient.

464
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 2: And learning to keep the faith.

465
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 6: No matter how many knows that we've gotten along the way,

466
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 6: it's you have to keep going. And it is hard

467
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 6: to keep that, to keep that up and keep it going.

468
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 6: But I think that's one thing that has kind of

469
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 6: carried us, is just keep it on faith and believing

470
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 6: in ourselves.

471
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: For sure. Yeah, I think that.

472
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 3: I think that the biggest struggle, the biggest struggle have

473
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 3: been is breaking breaking down the wall of tradition. And

474
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: you know, traditionally country music has seen success and white

475
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: males and you put them on a white T shirt

476
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: and the tight jeans and you know, and let things

477
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: about it. They all stop to the arenas every time.

478
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: So I go and always say, I don't I don't

479
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: blame I don't blame them because I don't think it's worked.

480
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: Its yeah, you know, and and so and it's a

481
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: and I always try to I always try to take

482
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: the optimistic point of like the point of view you

483
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: can you can show up and go, oh, well, they

484
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: won't take this because we're black, and they won't take

485
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 3: it because we're women and they won't take us.

486
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: And so, you know, always try to find the find

487
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: the way to to show up like I for me,

488
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: like I don't even want to. I don't need you

489
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: to take me because I'm black or female.

490
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: I just me.

491
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: I want to write my music and I want to

492
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 3: show up and I want to let the people decide

493
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: if they love it, if it feels because.

494
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 8: The one thing about it is I always say, if

495
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 8: I put out a hip hop album, the hip hop's umanity,

496
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 8: would that absolutely know like just this and let her

497
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 8: do this?

498
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 2: Okay, this is direct? They would you? I would be

499
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: I would just bring the silk okay, but so it's

500
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 2: it's but it's the same thing.

501
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 3: It's because for me to get up and or if

502
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 3: I get up and I try and and and and

503
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: wrap about you know, growing up and seeing like seeing

504
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 3: things in the street or going and like total guns

505
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: like you know, and so sometimes sometimes but that's not

506
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 3: authentic to you.

507
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: It's hard to it's hard to portray that. Yeah. Yeah,

508
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: even like you see rappers who like when people will be.

509
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 3: Like man way like and it's because like you can't

510
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: grow up in the suburbs and then like, oh man,

511
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 3: it'd be like man I was out there to.

512
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: So so I just say that to say, like, so

513
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 2: I understand.

514
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: I feel like I kind of get the mindset of

515
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: the labels and you know, the powers that be in

516
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: country music and they go on, it's gonna take no

517
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 3: chance on this, but I feel like, but but the

518
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: struggle is a just staying together to overcome that. And

519
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: I think it's living such a We live in a

520
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 3: world now where everything is right here, access in your hand, and.

521
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: So you can build the world that you want to build.

522
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: You can build the audience, you can build the fan

523
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 3: base that you never even need a label. And but

524
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 3: also it's it's the music industry is a hard industry,

525
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: and you know, and by the time the industr beat.

526
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 2: To m and then at the end of the day,

527
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: we got to look at each other and it was like,

528
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: did you take my eyeline?

529
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 6: And then now we got.

530
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 3: And you know what I mean, And it's just like

531
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: it's so rufl it'll have you, it'll have you at

532
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 3: each other's nack.

533
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: So a lot of times it's just it's surviving the

534
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: day to get to another day, to to but to

535
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: live to five us the other day.

536
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: And we just but I think that that's part of

537
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: the that's been part of the struggle as well. But

538
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: it's just like just the struggle to to to stay

539
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: aflow and to keep going. Because my grandma used to say,

540
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: you know, she's like you just gotta like she's like,

541
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: surviving is you got to just put one foot.

542
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:40,239
Speaker 2: In front of the other. Day.

543
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 3: It's top that you may not think you can keep walking,

544
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 3: but if you can just put one foot in front

545
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 3: of the other, you'll you'll you'll keep gaining ground.

546
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 6: And so yeah, and I'm kind of like a combination

547
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 6: of both of those things. I feel like a big

548
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 6: part of like just the struggles that we've had, like

549
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 6: in getting recognition and breaking.

550
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: Down those walls of tradition. I feel like.

551
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 6: The fact that we're independent, there's so many just financial

552
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 6: incumberances that are like very us.

553
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 10: From honestly, because like you see some artists and you know,

554
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 10: the talent might not be there.

555
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: But they have the look that they know self.

556
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 6: So then you get this influx of capital, you get

557
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 6: this ability to travel around. And I heard it like

558
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 6: what the lady told us that it made all of sense.

559
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 6: She's like, you guys just need more faces in places.

560
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 6: Because although we've been going back and forth to Nashville

561
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 6: were like almost a decade, people have been hearing these songs,

562
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 6: Nashville is still very insular, very on that Nashville.

563
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 2: Nasally in their own little bubble.

564
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 6: But like once we did a g T in the

565
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 6: entire world heard the song that we've been trying to

566
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 6: let you all listen to for the last two years, and.

567
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: Like, oh, yeah, it is really good song. But I

568
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: think that like, yeah, just being an independent artist.

569
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 6: In general is a lot harder than people bab because

570
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 6: you know, you see about of the artists, you see

571
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 6: the glitz, you see the glam. You see the tour bus,

572
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 6: send all the but they don't tell you the money.

573
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 6: Like literally, we rolled into town at.

574
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: Like four o'clock this morning from Indiana, all cooked up

575
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: in like an suv. Yeah, and like you know, it's

576
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: the struggle is real. Nothing just kind of speaking home

577
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: because it's independent. We after agentin did.

578
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 6: The camperon Hall show and a guy there was like

579
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 6: a clip on YouTube and a guy coming and was

580
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 6: like because in the interview, Danica was like, we are

581
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 6: we not o money, but if you was talking about

582
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 6: like after tour, because as an independent artist, we are

583
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 6: fully funding our own tour.

584
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: We had to pay for our own tour, bus.

585
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 6: Travel, lodging, everything we are and it was a sixty

586
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 6: day plus turn. He was like, how are you gonna

587
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 6: broke after a sixty day plus sixty plus state tour.

588
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: But I'm like, never hear about the books for you.

589
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: We're independent.

590
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 6: So yes, you had a sixteen plus stake tour, but

591
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 6: on that tour you have to say for staff, we

592
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 6: have fourteen people.

593
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: On twelve person bus.

594
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 6: Let me tell you what, don't give a cheat whole

595
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 6: care pay in three four thousand hours a week to rent.

596
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 3: A bus because they have it, or sometimes the label

597
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: will have busted like a fleet of buses and they go, okay,

598
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 3: this burning down with the label.

599
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: So it kind of comes with your tour.

600
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 6: So so financially, baby is yeah, we see sometimes the

601
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 6: don't be magive.

602
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: But we just got in our won't pay and they said, well,

603
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: lots can be limits. Sometimes we can eliminade. We just

604
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 2: have limit, don't and it's about one foot in front.

605
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: Of the lady. We know, as black women how important

606
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: it is to talk about our health, especially the things

607
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: previous generations told us to keep quiet, like our vaginas.

608
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: What are you doing to address your vaginal health besides

609
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: visiting your gynecologist? Did you know that your menstrual cycle, exercise, diet, stress,

610
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: and sex can disrupt or throw off your vaginal microbiome? No,

611
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: well neither did I. That's why I started using seed

612
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: Seed VSO one is based on nearly twenty years of

613
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: scientific research and is a sustainable approach to addressing optimal

614
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: vaginal pH The first month focuses on a reset to

615
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: your vaginal microbiome. Afterwards, you sustained with two tablets each month.

616
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: It's super simple to use VSO one marks a new

617
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: era and vaginal care with a sustainable approach to address

618
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: the root cause of imbalances, and it's also the first

619
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: clinically validated vaginal probiotic with three strains of the super

620
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: defender strain of bacteria called L. Crispatis dom and I

621
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: like to test out the products that we enduse and

622
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: Seed has been super easy to use. But aside from that,

623
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: we all pay attention to what we put in our bodies,

624
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: and what was appealing to us about Seed is that

625
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: the development process included a multi step approach and collaboration

626
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: with leading scientists and researchers from around the world, culminating

627

635
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: y'all for sharing that piece because I I I think

636
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 4: that there are so many people that need to hear

637
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 4: that to really understand that it is not glamorous for

638
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 4: most artists, like most artists are not living a glamorous life,

639
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: that there is a lot of work and a lot

640
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 4: of sacrifice.

641
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 3: It is.

642
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I was gonna say, I think like social

643
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 6: media has kind of.

644
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: Not helped that situation at all.

645
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 6: I think a lot of times people see these celebrities

646
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 6: posts all the great things that are happening, but they're

647
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 6: not seeing the things that happen behind closed doors.

648
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: And we are very transparent with our fans.

649
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 6: If we have a show that's not selling and people

650
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 6: aren't buying tickets and so they have to pull the show,

651
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 6: we're gonna tell the fans exactly that, because it's like, look,

652
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 6: these people got to make money just like we do it.

653
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 6: You just it's not always what what it what it

654
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 6: looks like, or what you think it is.

655
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 3: Or sometimes we sometimes we we a lot of times

656
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 3: we'll just bite the bullet, but sometimes we can't afford to.

657
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: If we've got to show in Minnesota and.

658
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 3: It's not enough ticket, so sometimes we got to say, hey, Minnesota,

659
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 3: we got to push this day back let's see we

660
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 3: can get some more people to come out because other

661
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 3: ones we can't. We would we can't afford to come

662
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 3: and do it. And but also I do love that

663
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: you said that. I would love to encourage any artists

664
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 3: who's watching run your run your race.

665
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 2: Run the race that is given to you.

666
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: And in due time, I do believe that God will

667
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 3: make the increase and you will be If you want

668
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 3: twenty buses, you can have a twenty okay, but don't

669
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 3: don't don't kill yourself going under trying to trying.

670
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: To keep up with a carry underwood or a lot

671
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 2: of or you.

672
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: Know, like or make this out and anybody like these

673
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: are they they work hard and they got they got

674
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 3: the monument, so let them spend what thin God.

675
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: But that's like for us.

676
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 3: We we did we took a tour bus out like

677
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 3: you know, to a tour bus for the tour, and

678
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 3: it was so expensive it pretty much sucked up all

679
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 3: the money that we made on the tour. So what

680
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 3: we did was we just went ahead and gave the

681
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: return the bus back on me like this got we

682
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 3: we went and we ended up getting like a like

683
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 3: an RV and we got bunks in the art. It's

684
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 3: like an RV with bunks, so it fits kind of

685
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 3: what we do, but also we can afford to do like.

686
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 2: We can afford it.

687
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 3: And I think that that is the I think that

688
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 3: sometimes perception is trying to keep up with the perception

689
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 3: of what people think about you. It will sink you

690
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 3: faster than you know you just like I said, it's

691
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 3: there is absolutely I don't know. It's just you know,

692
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 3: I think it goes back to where people always say,

693
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 3: sometimes people will come to our show and go, man,

694
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: I just wanted to see if y'all know who I

695
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: thought you were like or if we were just like

696
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 3: if this was an actor, like if this is a physoccer.

697
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: For social media, I'm like, absolutely not. So there's people

698
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 2: who will tell you to this day they were like, no,

699
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: that's the same damage I tell you what, Like that's

700
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 2: herd she had.

701
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: Changed like this, And you know, I always say this

702
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 3: is B and B got me this far, and I

703
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 3: don't really know who else I.

704
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: Could try to be, And you know, it's just you know,

705
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I mean, like you said, run

706
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 2: your own grace.

707
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 6: I feel like that kind of put it all in

708
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 6: a nutshell and even thinking back to when we first

709
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 6: got started.

710
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: You know, we started as a cover band, and you know,

711
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: we grew upup we listened to all kinds of music.

712
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 2: You know, we had a cover show.

713
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 6: We would go from Elton Johns to Little John to

714
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 6: Johnny Catch everything in between. But it was it was

715
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 6: the moment that we started like being true to ourselves

716
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 6: and singing songs about growing up in Mississippi, playing in

717
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 6: the bad playing in the woods where our cousins or

718
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 6: you know, like whoever.

719
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 2: In the middle of New Orleans. And you don't know

720
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: how many people said, don't know quite a sing country

721
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: down here.

722
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 3: We're like, well, we're just gonna try it. And when

723
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 3: I say I ain't know, there would have any heal mess.

724
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 2: And let me tell you what I always tell peop, Well,

725
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 2: New Orleans was the best place to start me Always

726
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: I would say, I said, well, has better since we

727
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: probably would have went to Nashville to do country music.

728
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 3: But y'all have better plan to let us start doing

729
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 3: music in New Orleans because it is the most honest

730
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: people you will find in your life.

731
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll come and give you your their opinions. And

732
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 2: you did not even ask for it like that's not it,

733
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 2: and they would they would come to our shows.

734
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 3: People would come to our shows, like from our cover

735

Speaker 3: shows and be like, now listen, y'all know what y'all know.

736
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 2: I did not like country music, but I kind of

737
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: like what y'all do like these songs, or like they

738
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: would hear.

739
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 3: Our songs and come and be like the story about

740
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 3: the story about Jackie and you know, oh that just

741
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 3: never really hit there, like you know, they would be like,

742
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 3: you know, I showed my daughter that song and I

743
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 3: told her she could be you know, she just got

744
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: to live out loud.

745
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: She got to be you know, she got to take

746
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:54,959
Speaker 2: what she does.

747
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 3: It was a lady, her daughter had gone into sew

748
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 3: it and she was like trying to become a designer.

749
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 3: She said, I show how that song, and I said,

750
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 3: you gotta jump out there. You got put just go

751
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,200

00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: Life to live. You just do it, like right down.

753
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my god, you It was

754
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: just it was just it was such a beautiful moment.

755
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 3: For me, and it really kind of felt like it

756
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 3: was breaking down, like the cultural barrier.

757
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 2: That like, you know, for so long are your people

758
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 2: say off the dome.

759
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 3: Oh, I had to listen to the country music like

760
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 3: it's not figurite because like, you know, people would make

761
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: fun of me.

762
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 2: And sol and I was like, you know, it's just

763
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 2: I still think that's one of my favorite, like my

764
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 2: favorite things to hear at shows.

765
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 6: Because people would be like, you know, oh black girl.

766
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 6: I live in Virginia, but like around my black friends,

767
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 6: I had to pretend that I like this, that, and

768
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 6: the other because none of the other black people were

769
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 6: listen to the country. But now as a grown woman,

770
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 6: I feel like I can finally be me. I was like,

771
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 6: that is crazy.

772
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: That is so powerful. Y'all are just so inspiring because

773
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: I think about you know, we're creatives as well. When

774
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: you think about investing a decade into a journey and

775
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: other people not seeing your worst, but you know that

776
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: God gave you a vision. You know that God gave

777
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: you this music and these songs to write, and so

778
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: I think that you are really in exemplification of what

779
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: it looks like to believe in yourself and know your

780
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: worth even when you're not getting the awards or the accolades.

781
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: It's like, I know we were here for a reason.

782
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: So I love that, and you know, they say it

783
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: takes ten years to become an overnight success. So y'all

792
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: the journey, Like, what are some of the things that

793
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: you do, And if each one of you can answer,

794
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: just because the sound is a little distorted, if you

795
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: all talk, so we can start with Tree and then

796
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: Danica and Devin and I want to hear each of

797
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: you share your your best practices on that.

798
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 2: Oh I have to say for.

799
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 6: Me, probably like finding that inter piece, you know, I

800
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 6: think ideal it would be one specific place you can

801
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 6: go to, but especially with the way that our lives

802
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 6: have set up, you have to learn how to find

803
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 6: that piece anywhere.

804
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 2: But it's something that our fans have always told us

805
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: that you know, kind of like learn to enjoy where

806
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 2: you are right now. And I feel like the fact

807
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 2: that like we're the front and the back end of.

808
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 6: This company, sometimes we just spend so much time go

809
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 6: go go, trying to get here, trying to go there,

810
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 6: putting this together, doing this show that we forget to

811
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 6: enjoy the accomplishments that we've already had because we're so

812
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 6: busy looking ahead. And not to say stop looking ahead,

813
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 6: but also like learn to be at piece with where

814
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 6: you are, because, like you say, it might not be

815
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 6: our time right now, because I can say a lot

816
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 6: of the opportunities that we've had.

817
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 2: Even in the last year, if they were to have

818
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: it four or five years ago, we weren't ready. We

819
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 2: weren't in a space to receive those things. And so

820
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 2: I kind of like just you know, be in the

821
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: moment and just kind of.

822
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 6: Take a breath to look around and say, this is

823
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 6: where I am right now, and this is good.

824
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: And I'm I think for me.

825
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 6: You kind of said something about how do you kind

826
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 6: of watch other people kind of blow up around you?

827
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: And I think that is one thing that people don't

828
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 2: talk about. I will be the first to admit that

829
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: that is so hard.

830
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 6: To see to see do you know that you know

831
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 6: the work that you put in and to see other

832
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 6: people get ahead of you, just the human in you.

833
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 6: I think it's natural to sometimes kind of feel like

834
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 6: a sense of jealousy or envy or anger. And I

835
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 6: know that I'm the first to fall victim of that,

836
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 6: and a lot of times I have to just stop

837
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 6: and say, girl, wait a minute, like hump the brakes,

838
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 6: because that's not for you. Demnica always says, what's the

839
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 6: lord is? And he's in the neighborhood, you know, he

840
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 6: deliberate the mail in the neighborhood. He's coming to my

841
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 6: door at some point. So I love that because I

842
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 6: used to I used to have that. I used to

843
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 6: have that same problem, and I would even be like,

844
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 6: I'm so happy. But so I heard somebody say.

845
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: When Tom, when you look out on and you see

846
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 3: the mailman delivering mail to your neighbor, you better get

847
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 3: excited because that means he's in the neighborhood. He got

848
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 3: some mail coming to your house. But if you can't

849
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: celebrate when your neighbor get mail, like you know, and

850
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 3: so that that right there, just it really changed the

851
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 3: perspective for me.

852
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 2: Everybody got men. Your mail is coming.

853
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 3: So now when you're a neighbor, if your friends start winning,

854
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 3: you better get excited because that means made it to

855
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: your street.

856
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 2: So he' coming on down the street.

857
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 3: You just gotta you gotta be excited and learn to

858
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 3: celebrate the people around you. But also too, I think

859
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 3: it's so important to surround yourself with people who who

860
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 3: lift you up, because sometimes it is such a it's

861
00:41:54,560 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 3: such a you say, such a human reaction to go like, right,

862
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 3: how they just started and we've been doing it saying

863
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 3: is how them?

864
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 2: And to have some people go look but but but.

865
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,959
Speaker 3: But the concert that you just did, and the lady

866
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: told you that she's been dealing with a ton of

867
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 3: health problems, but she turns on your music and it

868
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 3: just heals her soul.

869
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 2: Like she said, if she can get out here tonight,

870
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 2: she said, she knew she would be all right.

871
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 3: Like there's people who were literally like the doctor would like, listen,

872
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 3: you got I can give you six weeks.

873
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: And we had a fan that once she said listen,

874
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 2: she said, no, I don't mind. I could die. She said,

875
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 2: I don't mind dying. She said, but I've got to

876
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 2: go see chapel hard before I know, and I my girlpen.

877
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 2: She doctor is confused, like what is going on? She

878
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: was on office. They might and her the hospital and

879
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 2: she was like, she said, I thought it. She said

880
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: I had to come see y'all one one time. I

881
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 2: just had to come to y'all room. And so it's like.

882
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 3: Having people on your team who remind you like that,

883
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 3: that's ill wordant word. Anybody can get the fame of

884
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 3: Ford and you can get it any day week. We

885
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 3: watch people go virable every day and so. But but

886
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 3: there's something about cultivating, finding the focus for what you're doing,

887
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 3: finding out what your purpose is. And I was just

888
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 3: going to say that that learning learning, learning to tun

889
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 3: your ear to God or to the universe, whatever whatever

890
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 3: that greater power is that you believe in, learning.

891
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 2: To tune your ear to that.

892
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: Because there's some people in relationship it's been time to move,

893
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 3: and you know it's been time to move.

894
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 2: Because you could hear it, you could feel it, and

895
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 2: you ain't moving.

896
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 3: Then now you'd be like, this relationship is old times

897
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 3: it shouldn't be because you knew it was time to move,

898
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 3: but you didn't want to let it go.

899
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 2: So that's why it's still verdant, so you ain't let

900
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 2: it go.

901
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 3: I tell people visionaries, artists, learn a tun your ear

902
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 3: to what it is that that that God, whatever your

903
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 3: purpose is, because God will tell you, he'll he'll he'll

904
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: send you things that these are the simple test when

905
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 3: you're you yes or no test.

906
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: Or right or wrong tests, and these are really simple.

907
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 2: But he just wants to give it.

908
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 3: You have to be tested in order to have the testimony,

909
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 3: but also you got to be tested to pass the test.

910
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 2: So when you know, so now you know when God goes, okay,

911
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 2: is this door right here? It's this one, and you

912
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: go yeah, yeah, yeah, that's him. I'm gonna take this

913
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 2: one and to other people that it's nothing you know,

914
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: to dealt here this one, no.

915
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 6: This on but he said this one.

916
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 2: So I think that that's That's the big.

917
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 3: Part for me is sometimes it just I look up

918
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 3: and it feels like my entire world is just being rocked,

919
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 3: like literally literally Tokyo Tony so.

920
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: Rocking, Like it's still like all life is your wrong.

921
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: But every every single time.

922
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 3: I hear God, you going, look I got you, you

923
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 3: trust me, I got you, just watching watching him watching.

924
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: See I'm gonna play. When he speaks, all you got

925
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 2: to do is listen. That's it. When you know less,

926
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 2: he has some very beautiful way knocking you and you know,

927
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 2: but but you know I think that.

928
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 3: But but if you if we can, if you can

929
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 3: remember that he said that his plan is, his plan

930
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 3: is to make you prosperous.

931
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: It's to it's to elevate you. It's to it's to

932
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,959
Speaker 2: love you. It's for you to have the best life.

933
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 2: And sometimes, yeah, his plan. And it didn't say everything

934
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 2: it was gonna beautiful. It didn't say everything was gonna

935
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: be easy. It didn't say everything was gonna be unfolded

936
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 2: and laid down at your feet. You're gonna have to

937
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: work hard, your knees gonna get skinned up. You're gonna

938
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 2: be pushed over. You're gonna be ran over. You're gonna

939
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 2: be looked over them in that you're gonna be passed over.

940
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 3: You're gonna be overqualified, You're gonna be like, you know, like,

941
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 3: and they still don't look ob But guess what if

942
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 3: you if.

943
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 2: You stay focused and you run your race. My grandma

944
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: used to say this all the time. The race is

945
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 2: not given to the swift and the strong. It's not

946
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 2: given to the to the fastest.

947
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 3: It's not given to you can run fast, but if

948
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 3: you got to run the thirty two hundred, ain't gonna

949
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 3: do you no good. You're gonna need to stamp them.

950
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 2: So learning your race and running your race, and you

951
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: don't gotta you don't have to finish in first place.

952
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 2: You gotta finish the reporters on the other side of

953
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 2: the finish line. You just gotta finish.

954
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 3: And so sometimes we think, like you know, sometimes you

955
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 3: got to slow down a little bit, like sometimes you

956
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 3: might you might get your big a butt and it

957
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 3: may not be.

958
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: One for you in the moment. Don't got to take

959
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 2: a step back and you gotta say, look, how can

960
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: I stay on the road? How can I do that?

961
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 3: And get shit?

962
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 6: That's also very important. Don't be afraid to take a

963
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 6: step back, reevaluate and see what works for you. Just because,

964
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 6: like you say, just because you did have the big

965
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 6: two of us, just because you did do all these

966
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 6: great fantastical things, it doesn't mean that that's where you

967
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 6: are supposed to be right now, because you could be ooh,

968
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 6: you can.

969
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 2: Dig yourself in a whole really fast, very fast. So

970
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 2: now I'm able to just step back and revaluate. And

971
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 2: I just wanted to say this though.

972
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 3: I heard somebody say a friend of mine, she told

973
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: me this about marriage, but I feel like I apply

974
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 3: it to life sometimes.

975
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 2: She said marriage to the ebb and flow.

976
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 3: And she said, she said, you may go through the ebbs,

977
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 3: but if you if you hang in there and you're

978
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 3: stick in there, it'll flow again.

979
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: And so that's life. So you know, there's times that

980
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,479
Speaker 2: you up. When you up, you up, then the thup

981
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 2: you exact time.

982
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 3: But sometimes you have those valley days and some ofody

983
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 3: you know, those valley months or bout years. But hang

984
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 3: in there because it's about it's about endurance. That's the

985
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 3: I think that that's the real that's the real message

986
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 3: in all the day. I think we've said a lot today.

987
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 6: But if you learn how to endure, and because sometimes

988
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 6: it's sometimes it's the deepest, darkest valleys that make you

989
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 6: appreciate whenever.

990
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 2: You are on the other side. Sometimes whenever things come

991
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 2: to you.

992
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 6: If you haven't struggled, if you haven't gone through with

993
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 6: you don't even have the mindset to appreciate.

994
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 4: It for what joint Yes, oh my god, yes, y'all today. Yes, okay,
