68
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: what was y'all overall reaction to how the event turned

69
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: out this year?

70
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: I would say, me, this is my first time partaking

71
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: in I know it's the second.

72
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: Year doing partaking.

73
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: Well, this is my first time. But anyway, you're messing

74
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: me up here. But no, it was real successful.

75
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 3: I saw the pictures and videos from last year, so

76
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: of course I kept up with it last year, but

77
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: I had some extra time this year, so I wanted

78
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: to make sure I hit you up to see if

79
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 3: I could help in any way possible.

80
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: Just you know, help you out. So but yeah, it

81
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 4: was real successful, bigger than what I thought. It was.

82
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: Not to downplay or anything, being there in person, seeing

83
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: you know, all the families when we got there, I

84
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: wasn't expecting it to be a you know, lye already

85
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: when you were getting the text and they're saying it's

86
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: a lot of fifty cars or however many cars, and

87
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: seeing the pictures of the videos me personally, like I said,

88
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: I knew it'd be successful.

89
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: I just didn't think of, you know, to that magnitude.

90
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: So I'm still excited to see, you know, what comes

91
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: of it up next year.

92
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's gonna be bigger and better.

93
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: So and before you answer, Ojia, and I know you're

94
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: not downplaying it, but I feel like a lot of

95
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: people were not expecting to turnout that we did this year.

96
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: Like last year was good, but this year was way bigger.

97
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was, and that's what I was thinking, Like

98
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: I said, I was just thinking of what I saw

99
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 3: last year.

100
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: So of course I know.

101
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 3: Every year is going to be bigger and better, but

102
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: I didn't think it would be you know, this tremendous

103
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: of a jump with me seeing in firsthand.

104
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: This year so and also being involved. True, what did

105
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: you think because you was there last year?

106
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

107
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 5: I was there because y'all know, I'm a PhD employee

108
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: and stuff, my.

109
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: Club, my therapist, my mama.

110
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 5: Let's say she needed to put me on payroll, y'all,

111
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 5: but that's another podcast. Yeah, but anyways, I think it

112
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 5: was good. You know, it's always But what people don't

113
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 5: know is the stress that goes into trying to plan

114
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 5: these events, to how we be cussing each the out behinden.

115
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: And lie, you gotta do this, and you gotta do that.

116
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 5: And then when it finally just settles and we're actually

117
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 5: passing our turkeys, like just to see people get so

118
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 5: excited and people that wasn't expecting to come up on

119
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 5: a turkey drive and just be excited like wait, you're

120
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 5: giving away turkeys, like these good turkeys too, and like

121
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 5: from home food from Hoole Foods, and they are like

122
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: so excited and so happy and so thankful. I think that,

123
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 5: you know, it's just always a blessing to you know,

124
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 5: be a blessing. And I think it was a very

125
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 5: good turnout. I think it was bigger than last year.

126
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 5: And I think it's gonna get bigger every year. The

127
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 5: team just keeps adding people and just keeps getting bigger

128
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 5: and bigger. So yeah, I think it was a great,

129
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 5: great event.

130
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 2: Aja. How would you say my energy was this year

131
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: compared last year? Because I feel like this year, I

132
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: was like I was breezing, Like I feel like it

133
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: was just so easy, Like I was actually excited about

134
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: it because last year, y'all, we all know, I was

135
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: so stressed. No, I think I did this year?

136
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 3: You did?

137
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: I she did.

138
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 5: I Like last year she didn't know what to expect stress.

139
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 5: She knew what to kind of expect, but I think

140
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 5: also she didn't expect it to be as big as

141
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 5: it was. And then on top of that, ever, they

142
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 5: get these stress moments that she kind of just black out,

143
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 5: and then she forget about the stress moments that she

144
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 5: had and then she'd be like, I didn't do that yet.

145
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: But I mean, I think overall, like.

146
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 5: Your energy was pretty your energy was really good. I

147
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 5: think you knew that you had more people paying attention,

148
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 5: so you wanted it to go like just right. So

149
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 5: it was more a little bit more tense, like dang,

150
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 5: I can't believe I'm actually passing out this many turkeys,

151
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 5: said this many people, and this many people are willing

152
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 5: to help me. So it was more so like it

153
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 5: was like you were in all yeah, you were kind

154
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 5: of like in awe about it, like wow, like this

155
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 5: is gonna get bigger. And I think this year was

156
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 5: the year that you realized that this is this is

157
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 5: a big event for it, like this is a thing

158
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 5: like yeah, the PhD Thanksgiving Turkey Drive, like wow. Like

159
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 5: I think last year you kind of like put your

160
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 5: toes in and you was like, Okay, I'm doing this.

161
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 5: But this year you're like, nah, this is about to

162
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 5: be big, Like you know, it kind of like it

163
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 5: was a realization that you that you're actually doing something

164
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 5: and it's making a big impact.

165
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie y'all. Sometimes my feelings can be

166
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: a little delayed. So last year, I think the day

167
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: after the Turkey Drive, I cried, But I think I'm

168
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: more so when odd your kitchen rite and I think

169
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: I had so like Charlottagne like reposted or something, and

170
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: I think that's when it finally hit me. And yo,

171
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: the way my mouth started to trimple it and I

172
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: just started crying. But I think I was just more

173
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: so crying because I'm like, damn, like we finally did it,

174
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: because like I was so stressed out and so this year,

175
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: I think it hit me, like what A couple of

176
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: days later, I was at the desk whatever, and I'm

177
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,680

Speaker 2: video or something day before Thanksgiving and I cried and

179
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,120

Speaker 4: So that that was it. I was just saying, that's

197
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 4: part of the reason why I've been here so long.

198
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: As I said, so, you know, it's.

199
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: Cool you thought that Turkey Drive was the day before Thanksgiving.

200
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean originally.

201
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: Because what happened was when I thought about it and

202
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: I saw your reposts, I decided to hit you up

203
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 3: and I was like, hey, I'm being town.

204
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 4: But I wasn't originally getting in town until Tuesday.

205
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 3: But you said the Turkey Drive was Saturday, so I

206
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: had some free time and I just rearranged my.

207
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: Flight and I got in. It's supposed to been Thursday night,

208
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: but delays.

209
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: Ain't getting in Friday morning about five am Friday morning,

210
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: and they just hit you up and jump from there,

211
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 3: and so going such.

212
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 5: A good friends.

213
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: Then he is a good friend because I'm so thankful

214
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: that you came because last year we had I just

215
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: fiance Mario who was there and like that was only

216
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: with one hundred turkeys. So this year we doubled them

217
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: out and if we didn't have you, Steve, like we

218
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: would have really been having like we would have been

219
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: working because yo, me and they.

220
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 5: Would have been elaying them turkeys. We would have been

221
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 5: so tired.

222
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: Listen.

223
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: And granted, we had like a lot of people that

224
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: came out. I think we probably had like ten volunteers

225
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: that helped us. But some of our volunteers are from

226
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: my old neighborhood at my elementary school, so they are

227
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: older people, so you know, because we respectful and we

228
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: from the South, so we don't want them to do

229
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: too much. But even I just son, y'all, like, and I.

230
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: Felt like the street tap, like a street team.

231
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 2: Right, we were hustling. Okay, So at that point, I

232
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: think Steve got in like around four o'clock that morning,

233
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: and so at this point we had to get ready

234
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 2: to go to radio. But I didn't think Steve was

235
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: gonna pull up on us because I'm like, I know

236
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: he tired, right, and so I should not make our

237
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: way to the radio stations. And I ain't gonna lie, y'all.

238
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 2: That was probably like the highlight of my trip. Like

239
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 2: that was fun, right, so much fun. Okay, So looks

240
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: like about my experience. I was just like, what did

241
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: you think about it? Because I was on air and

242
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: also y'all can watch all of the interviews on my

243
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: YouTube channel at the Professional Homegirl, But what was what

244
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: was you thinking? Because I was like geeking out.

245
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 5: It was fun like the people that everybody on the

246
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 5: radio station was just good energy, like they just welcomed

247
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 5: welcomed us with open arms, and they were just so funny.

248
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 5: Like I think me and Ebene laughed from the time

249
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 5: we walked in there to the time we left, like

250
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 5: we was just all y'all was in giggling because they

251
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,000

00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: end where uh, we actually had plenty of turkeys left,

446
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,480

447
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: in need or anybody who needs anything. And it was

448
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: just hispanic glady walking down the street and she didn't

449
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,040

450
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,640

451
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,480

Speaker 3: you know, we didn't understand her, she didn't understand us.

453
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: So what we did was we just ended up just

454
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: going and bringing the turkey over like lifting it holding

455
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,280

00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 5: And I think, like, you know, the fact like the volunteers,

471
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 5: like we had someone come from iHeart to help us

472
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 5: and they were just like such tremendous help and yea yeah.

473
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 5: And then we had just like the people that were

474
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 5: there from last year, Tom and bring more people and

475
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 5: one of the.

476
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: Ship she she like she did not play. She like,

477
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: don't do this, y'all too far back.

478
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: Come arge.

479
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like the volunteers, I think outside of like

480
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 5: seeing the faces of the people that were receiving the

481
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 5: turkeys were it was just they made it fun. They

482
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 5: made it man, it was that was just good.

483
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 2: And every year last year we started, before we started

484
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: the drive, we pray. So I think last year Mario

485
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: prayed a share and Linda pray and you thought God

486
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: was with us the way she was. She prayed it down.

487
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 4: Once she got done, I was reaching my wallet, how

488
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 4: much how much I need? Who players like?

489
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: I felt like I needed either that or I was

490
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: gonna walk down down to give my give my life

491
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 3: to the Lord.

492
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: That's right, because I'm like that baby, because she prays down,

493
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. To be funny. There was a

494
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 2: particular person that Steve brought up. It was a guy,

495
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: and I think he wanted to.

496
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 7: Give me a hug, but I was like, you know, yeah, yeah,

497
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 7: he was looking at me, looking at him.

498
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, just make sure all the men around that's

499
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 2: that's the work is.

500
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 3: He was like, yeah, yeah, you know, we get back

501
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: to the people, but you know sometimes, you know, you

502
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: still got to kind.

503
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 4: Of be aware of just around and we want to

504
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 4: get back to the people.

505
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: Because we're from Memphis. I'm like, I know my people,

506
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: I'm just like.

507
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is a little a little too interactive,

508
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 3: a little.

509
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 2: Bit to getting closer. I'm moving back.

510
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: People like turkey, happy holidays. We'll give the hugs, you know,

511
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: to a certain degree, but you give it straight.

512
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 5: That's a hug.

513
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: When I was cod yeah yeah, see, I'm a hugger,

514
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: like I hugged some of the older people that like,

515
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: I hugged the woman who was with her walker and

516
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: her granddaughter because at first, so we normally don't give

517
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 2: turkeys out to those who walking up because the whole

518
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: idea is to keep it the smooth process and have

519
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: people drive up. But then it's like, come on, who

520
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: am I to turn away people that really need turkey?

521
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: So I was like, damn, I felt bad and I

522
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 2: need a blessing from God. So I know, walking the

523
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: turkey to her, and I was an older woman said

524
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 2: I felt comfortable giving her a hug because I'm a

525
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: big hugger. But like some people, especially men, I'm like, nah, buddy, I.

526
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 6: Did want to say.

527
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 8: Like.

528
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 5: Something else that shot me was when the construction workers

529
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 5: came up and they all got turkeys.

530
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 2: That was because I'm coming one bout one I'm.

531
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 7: Like, what are you coming from?

532
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: I was like, where did they come from? I just

533
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 2: see you over there like getting information and stuff, because

534
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: I did not I don't remember seeing them walking up.

535
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 5: I do not either. That's why I was trying to

536
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 5: figure out where they came from, because they I know,

537
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 5: they were working on the building with behind us, but

538
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 5: then one came and then next thing you know, it

539
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 5: was like six of them.

540
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, okay, right right beside, right beside the library,

541
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 3: and that's where it's I want to say, Brooks Museum.

542
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: They're like doing some remodeling. They were all working on

543
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: the Brooks Museum. Because I asked too, I was like,

544
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: where are all coming from? Then they're like, we're working

545
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 3: on the I believe Brooks Museum right next door. And

546
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: I saw and you know, it was one of those

547
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: like you said, made a couple of them, Habers saying,

548
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: you know, I'm bringing the wife all on the turkey.

549
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: We were playing again this this weekend, so you know,

550
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: give back to community, the people actually making the city better,

551
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 3: giving back, making it more better place. So kind of

552
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: felt good to you know, see how thankful they were,

553
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 3: like on the holiday, they're working literally you know what

554
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 3: on a Friday before the holiday, I mean.

555
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 4: That Friday, but Sat weekend, that Saturday, they're working, still

556
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 4: trying to you know, make ends, meat provide for their family.

557
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 3: So just be able to get to even working people,

558
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 3: some people who may could have afforded it. But you know,

559
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: I feel like punds are type for everybody these days.

560
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 3: So you can say fifty dollars on buying the turkey, yeah.

561
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the whole.

562
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: We don't do cheap, baby. What I do for myself,

563
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 2: I do for other So we got y'all the best, okay.

564
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: And when people realized they was Whole Foods. And I

565
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: also think that once people started seeing people were able

566
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: to walk up, that's when it really picked up. Like

567
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: it was our It was a moment where it was

568
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 2: really busy. Then we had a moment like to breathe,

569
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: and then next thing, you know, like it was just

570
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: so many people around us. I was a child, Okay.

571
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 2: So so Steve, what did you learn about me from

572
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 2: being a part of this year's event because you never

573
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: seen me in this capacity before?

574
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

575
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I would say probably, uh, I say probably,

576
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 3: like the professionalism to a certain degree of just like

577
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 3: how you run your operations, because I just know you

578
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: more on a personal friendship level. You know, I always support,

579

Speaker 3: try to donate anything, always supported me, so I'll support.

580
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,040

590
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,760

Speaker 4: We're not caterist. We're not you know, we're just helping out.

00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: So I come in. I'm giving people hugs and kisses.

631
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 2: We hugging this net, y'all. At this point, it's like

632
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 2: two thirty, right, So I'm like, all right, let me

633
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: make my way up to the table to get me

634
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: something to eat because I'm hungry. Listen, y'all, when I'm

635
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: supporting my friends, I do not expect to get anything

636
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: for free. It would be nice, but I understand what

637
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: it feels to be an entrepreneur. And I got ten

638
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: dollars to support damn fish sandwich. Right, So Steve is

639
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: over there. Somebody left them in charity to be the

640
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: manager of the server at all the things above and

641
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: the rest of alright, right, one thing by Steve. Whenever Steve,

642
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: whenever you ask me to do something, he takes it

643
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: very seriously. Right, Like Steve was a person. If you

644
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: need something done, he gonna make sure it is done,

645
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: but also Steve can get a little overwhelmed because he

646
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: wanted to do what's right, but then he also overlooked

647
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: the people that he need to be making sure it's good.

648
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: And for instance, me, so I'm just sitting there. I

649
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: see people walking up whatever, so I'm like, all right, cool.

650
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: So I'm like, Steve, I just want to fish with

651
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: white breads and cheese, hot sauce and pickles. Leave it

652
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: at that, right, He's I got you, I got you.

653
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: So this is like what thirty minutes, and I'm like,

654
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna help me on to everybody else cause

655
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: they're paying, right, And I'm like, well, I'm paying too.

656
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: So at this point, I think Steve can feel the

657
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: agitation that had towards him, and I was like, so frustrated,

658
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: and so I think I must have liked I think

659
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: I was trying to get your attention to something. He's

660
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: ignoring me at this point, y'all. So he know I'm mad,

661
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: and I know he could feel my energy. And then

662
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: he's like just one second, one second, y'all, like he

663
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: put his hand or like he's like he's getting irritated.

664
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: So then I go to the back of our friends

665
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: or and I'm like this thing you trying to feed me, y'all.

666
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: Like I was like, so like this, it's like four

667
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: as what it was four o'clock in the morning.

668
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 4: It was like, you ordered two thirty and wait no hour?

669
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: And I waited an hour, y'all. It was an hour

670
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: for a damn fish sandwich. At this point, I stormed

671
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: back to the table, and I was trying not to

672
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: do this out in the open, because how we talk

673
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: to each other, it's like we like we bigger, like

674
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 2: brothers and sisters. But oh god, y'all, I must have

675
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: blacked hour. I was so mass Our other friend came

676
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 2: on to my so, what's fro ever? Now? You know

677
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: we love you this and that. Then the person who

678
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: was throwing the party he got involved. He's like, see,

679
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: just give us something to eat. So this started feeling,

680
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: why are you acting like that? Why are you treating

681
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: like that of a fish? And I was so aggy, y'all.

682
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 5: Whole energy changed after she got that food.

683
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: I was actually embarrassed because once I got the sandwich,

684
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 2: everybody started clapping. I was so embarrassed. He came give

685
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: me a hug. He's like, why are you acting like

686
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: I can't believe you did that. And I was like,

687
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 2: why would you have me waiting up all people.

688
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,400

00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 6: I was hard hard.

780
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: I wasn't working I'm think remembering questions way So we

781
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 2: had to so obviously, so y'all know, I raised money

782
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 2: for this, and I would say that was the hardest

783
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 2: part for me because obviously it has been a very

784
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 2: challenging year for so many of us. So this year

785
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 2: I was, y'all, I really felt like I really felt

786
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: the compared the last year when it came to me

787
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 2: raising the money for us to be able to purchase

788
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 2: over two hundred turkeys. So I created this form because

789
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, at some point, once this gets bigger and bigger,

790
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna want to keep asking people for money.

791
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: I want to get to these corporations that can be

792
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 2: able to sponsor us and be able to support us

793
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 2: and provide turkeys.

794
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 3: And so.

795
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: I created a Google form whatever just to capture information

796
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 2: demographics about the people who came out. And so one

797
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 2: of the voluntary shout outs to the trees, she didn't

798
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: know how to use the Google form, so she kept

799
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: deleting the questions. Yo, she looks so stressed. So me

800
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 2: and Aja like tag team and asking people. We had

801
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 2: to memorize the questions and I had to step to

802
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 2: the side and fix the Google form and I said,

803
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: the tree just passed our turkey's baby, because yeah, that

804
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 2: film was so shocked.

805
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 5: Everything. I'm like, okay, I was like, and then the

806
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 5: forum wasn't working, So I just started remembering certain questions

807
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 5: to make sure that I got at least the emails,

808
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 5: and you know, yeah, so we can email them. Yeah

809
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 5: that was stressful.

810
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, so once we got done. So Steve was talking

811
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: about added strassing him because we had to turn the

812
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 2: U haul back in by a certain time and we

813
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: literally had like fifteen minutes. So I'm like, Steve, you

814
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: got to go, you got to go. Steve was like

815

Speaker 2: Lottie Haggett, like he was like taking his sweet time,

816
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,960

817
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: we got the U haul, the U haul the whole

818
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: Foods was a long time. So I was thinking the

819
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 2: same distance from the U hauf from the library, but

820
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 2: it was literally a five minute drive. But I was like, Steve,

821
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: you gotta go, you gotta go. So the whole time, y'all,

822
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: we like everybody's excited, everybody's on such a good high.

00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 2: about it for thirty minutes.

911
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 3: He was so mad at you.

912
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 2: But no, overall this year, this Turkey Drive was just like,

913
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 2: hands down one of my favorite. Like I know for

914
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 2: a fact, next year we have more people involved. Next year,

915
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 2: it's going to be bigger and better. But like, what

916
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 2: do y'all think we can add or remove to make

917
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 2: next year even more bigger?

918
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 3: I think for sure, like somebody made a recommendation, like

919
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 3: I think having like a DJ fast with live music,

920
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: it's just more and so because even like for instance,

921
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the videos with the music on it,

922
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 3: it just creates kind of a vibe atmosphere and all that.

923
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 3: And I feel like, you know, at that event where

924
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 3: you just have music just even given directions, Like a

925
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 3: lot of times when we're yelling directions, we you know,

926
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 3: didn't have microphone. We were just telling versus you had

927
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 3: a DJ has a microphone, you can say everybody just line,

928
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 3: everybody go to that line. And you know, just a

929
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 3: little bit more and makes it more interactive entertainment you

930
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 3: can speak to everybody, think them man, Like I say,

931
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 3: just having music in general, I feel like just makes

932
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 3: it a little bit something, a small step that plays

933
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 3: like a major part or role and make.

934
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: What you gonna say, same thing.

935
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 5: We all said the same thing, you know, like we

936
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 5: spoke about before. Like I think like just having I

937
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 5: guess like a more interactive like DJ and like making

938
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 5: people want to come, making an experience, make people want

939
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 5: to come. And I think the location we did this

940
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 5: year was great, you know, but I do think we

941
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 5: do need to focus on location so that we can

942
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 5: get more underserved people to come in because that's our audience. Yeah.

943
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: I don't know which one of y'all pointed it out

944
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: or maybe with somebody else, but where we were like,

945
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 2: it was a good location, but I felt like because

946
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people were car pooling. And then dawn

947
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 2: on me that people were car pulling because a lot

948
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: of people don't have vehicles to get to the area.

949
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: We was that so I was like, oh, like that

950
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 2: kind of made me sad because I was like, all right, John,

951
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 2: we gotta give two turkeys per car because people were

952
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: showing like different addresses and stuff, and I was like,

953
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 2: I didn't think about that cause I'm just thinking like, well,

954
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: for one, I don't live in meph it's and not

955
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: having been home like that for me to be able

956
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: to know like where to go to whatever. But I

957
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: just thought the downtown was just a central location. But

958
00:42:58,760 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that it wasn't.

959
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 5: But I mean, they made it happen. They make way

960
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 5: to them turkeys, that's one thing I can It was

961
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 5: like six of them in the car once they like

962
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 5: we're like okay, Like but I mean, you know you

963
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 5: have to I guess we got we have to take

964
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 5: that into consideration next time. But it's a learning process.

965
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 5: I do believe like each year it gets better. So

966
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 5: you know, we're just gonna ye three. Yeah, it's already

967
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 5: December first, almost right.

968
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 3: I think it'll be better next year because like, for instance,

969
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 3: my sister is supposed to be kind of possibly helping out,

970
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 3: and she kind of with what she does, she kind

971
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 3: of identifies errors.

972
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 2: I think she kind of helped too much a little surprise.

973
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

974
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, so the team is getting bigger, so

975
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 2: don't come, don't ask and you come help. We got

976
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: the team is silent.

977
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 4: We don't know.

978
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 3: But like you said that that was something in the

979
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 3: that was kind of almost live, but we didn't probably

980
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 3: account I know, I wouldn't accounting for where Like you said,

981
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 3: is we're in the area that's not a residential area, so.

982
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 4: Nobody lived there. You're not really going to walk them up.

983
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 3: Well, the people that lived in that area, it's more

984
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 3: of business people, Like I say, it is people that

985
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: live there.

986
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 2: People who have money.

987
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 4: It's people.

988
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so the only people that live there or

989
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 3: like if they're homeless, but it's not a real residential

990
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 3: Like you said, we were coming into the instance where

991
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 3: we had the one turkey per car because I deally

992
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 3: we don't want to give two three turkeys per car.

993
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 3: But like I said, I person did account for a lot.

994
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 3: Like you said, a lot of people are car pulled

995
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 3: and showing like.

996
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 4: Hey we had I don't have a car. So it's

997
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 4: kind of like you can't say, hey, we're going to

998
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 4: help the community, and they're piling up to come to

999
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 4: us representing two three different families in a car. I

1000
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 4: can't give you two.

1001
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 5: So but we did.

1002
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: I mean the good way that we did help is

1003
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 3: we just told them, hey, if you circle back in line,

1004
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 3: get back in line, and go through it that way,

1005
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 3: you know, we're doing a fair process, we understand, but

1006
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 3: I think we can have a better way to address

1007
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 3: it next year.

1008
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 2: So yeah, and I think all so with your sister

1009
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: not giving it too much away, but being who she is,

1010
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 2: and that was my first time meet her, which don't

1011
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: even understand you because IVE been knowing this nigga for

1012
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: twenty plus years, but that's another story. But just her

1013
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 2: being excited about wanting to partake and you know, make

1014
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 2: this even bigger and better. I think that that made

1015
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 2: me realize, like, damn, like this is really something, like

1016
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 2: we're really doing this, like and it's literally gonna get

1017
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: bigger and better. And also just having a support from

1018
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: iHeartMedia and Memphis, like it's just so many people that

1019
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 2: just really wanted to like support and elevate this as

1020
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 2: much as possible. So I think that made me even

1021
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 2: more appreciative and just made me really thankful that we

1022
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 2: were able to pull this off.

1023
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 3: Last I say, I believe the gentleman's name was Brian,

1024
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 3: the manager of the library.

1025
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 4: He was real helpful. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah.

1026
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: For sure.

1027
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 2: I was going to say that for sure, Like Brian,

1028
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: because shout out to Dominick, one of my podcast friends,

1029
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 2: but he's the one that, like, you know, hit him up.

1030
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 2: He's really cool this that. And Brian has been so

1031
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 2: helpful and just instrumental throughout the entire process, like if

1032
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 2: I needed anything, he even creates a drone video y'all. Like,

1033
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: And I think that's what it's most important to me

1034
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 2: when you're in when you're a entrepreneur and you're doing

1035
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 2: these events and you know, just pouring back into what

1036
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 2: God gave you a vision of it is that that

1037
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 2: people can actually see your vision as well. And he's

00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 5: But yeah, and that's one thing I was gonna say too.

1042
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 5: I think that's the difference between last year and this

1043
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 5: year is that everybody was like passionate about it the

1044

Speaker 5: same way that you were. Like everybody what we're doing

1045
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 5: is like everybody was excited. Everybody was like.

1046
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 2: Like people stayed from start to finished.

1047
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 5: They stayed from start to finish and they were just

1048
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 5: excited and they thought it was just like such a

1049
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 5: cool thing. So you know the fact that they had

1050
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 5: the same the same part about it that you did,

1051
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 5: that was that was touching.
