00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: Ask Kevin Almost Anything. This is our second one. I mean,

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: the idea is that people have written in and reached

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: out and said, you know, we got some questions that

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: we're wondering, and so we look through and we decide

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: what would be fun to respond to it, and we'll

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: see how this goes. I am joined now by the

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: executive director of six Degrees dot Org Stacy Houston, who

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: is awesome and I concur yeah, and who's a little

10
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: tired because she saw Madonna last night, but has decided

11
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: to rally today and coy and join me here in

12
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: Ask Kevin Almost Anything.

13
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: I stays, Hi, Yeah.

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: If Madonna can do it, I can do it. I'm inspired.

15
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 3: That's for sure.

16
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: Good idea, good idea. She's something amazing. It really is.

17
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: Talk about a show.

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen Madonna alive. I think

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: that it probably didn't quite line up with my age,

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: and then I don't know. For some reason, I just

21
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: that that's a show that I never saw, but it

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: must be incredible.

23
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: It was really incredible.

24
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: It was a pretty diverse audience for sure, But I

25
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: think that, yeah, she put on on one hell of

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: a show called the Celebration Tour. So it's kind of

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: like all all of her music throughout the year, so

28
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: something for everyone.

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of young people there, yeah, I.

30
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: Think so and not so young. I mean she's sixty five.

31
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: Is my age, same age as Yeah.

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but she was definitely it was very theatrical, so

33
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: I think similarly to a lot of the you know,

34
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: the bigger pop stars of today, Like she's still moving

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 3: around that stage and telling a story and a lot

36
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: of actual social impact stuff, right, A lot of things

37
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: that she talked about through her music that she kind

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: of highlighted with the stage design and the sets and

39
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: those sorts of things, especially around like the LGBTQ community

40
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 3: and the HIV crisis of the eighties and things like that.

41
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: So it was powerful. It was really really cool.

42
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny you bring that up, because when you

43
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: really think about it, she was really there is an

44
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: element of UH pop female pop stars who you know,

45
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: have sort of empowered the various sometimes unrecognized factions of

46
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: their uh their audience and given them a voice and

47
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: support in ways. And I think she really was one

48
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: of the first. I mean, you know, followed certainly by

49
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: Gaga and now you know Tailor and Beyonce, and you know,

50
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: it's like you you you you go beyond just making

51
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: the music and and even beyond just having the adoration

52
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: of of your fans, but you actually are are trying

53
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: to support people to you know, kind of be who

54
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: they are, you know, Harry Styles and you know, it's

55
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: it's interesting, but but Donna was really sort of a

56
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, a pioneer in that way. I think that

57
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, in music, a lot of the early rock

58
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: stars and the idea was that you just you were

59
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: kind of trying to keep it distance. That was kind

60
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: of part of what rock and roll was that you

61
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: were this sort of distant, you know, kind of persona

62
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: and and not necessarily you were more kind of speaking

63
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: two people than speaking four people. So I think I

64
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that she was early in that that movement.

65
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it definitely I think probably inspired those that

66
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: came after her, right for sure, Yeah, to not squander

67
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: that opportunity, Yeah, and definitely not shy away from it

68
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 3: because she's bold now. But I can only imagine when

69
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 3: she started, you know, forty years ago. Yeah, that was

70
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 3: like a moment.

71
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: So well, I first saw her in Uh, oh gosh,

72
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: whatlder that movie? I feel like maybe it was a

73
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Demi movie. I'm trying to she had a small part.

74
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: Oh boy, what was it? And but she was it

75
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: was you know, a lot of it was like her

76
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: kind of singular style and the look and her you know,

77
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: just she's attitude. You know, she was just kind of badass. Anyway,

78
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: this is the Madonna, So.

79
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, she deserves her own episode.

80
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: Thank you, Madonna for letting us just riff on you

81
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: for a little bit.

82
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: Well let me read the first question. How's that? Since

83
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: this is called ask Kevin almost anything? Uh, this is

84
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: from CHRISA And she says, Hi, Kevin, I'm from food Bank,

85
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: Victoria in Australia. Love what you do. I was wondering

86
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: if you have any budget type recipes that we can

87
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: share with our folks. I just thought it could be

88
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: a fun thing to do. Oh yeah, if you have

89
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: any other ideas. I know you help so many people already,

90
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: but I thought it was worth asking. Cheers Chris. Okay,

91
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: so when she's talking about budget type recipes, I can

92
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: tell you that one of our favorite things that we make,

93
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: when you know, a lot of times will be thinking, well,

94
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: what are we going to do tonight? What are we

95
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: going to get? You know, cures very big on like

96
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: finding new recipes. You know, she does searches and follows things,

97
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: and I'm a little bit more, you know, just kind

98
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: of improvisational. But you know, it's usually we have some

99
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: kind of big idea and every once in a while

100
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: we want to stay in but we're out of big

101
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: ideas and we've we have a short handle. We'd just

102
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: go pantry and she says yes, and I say pantry, yeah,

103
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: And it's really pantry pasta is what it is. So

104
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: you generally have lying around at least a couple of

105
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: clothes of garlic or an onion. And then that's always

106
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: like the basis for anything, right, any any any thing

107
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: that's worth eating, It starts with it, you know, some

108
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: garlic or some onion. So you you put that in

109
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: the pan and you start you like, so I tell

110
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: you that, and then you open up the pantry and

111
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: you see what's in there. And so it could be

112
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: a can of tomatoes, it could be a lot of ours.

113
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: Is like a can of tomatoes we get opened up,

114
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: a can of tuna we throw in some you know,

115
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: whatever kind of herbs you have, we're lying around and

116
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: even if they're dried, you know, some regular basically you

117
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: just make a sauce, add a little bit of wine,

118
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: something has to be, you know, make it liquid enough,

119
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: and then you make some pasta and you put it

120
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: on and that's pantry pasta. We've we've oftentimes have a

121
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: lot of people have some capers lying around, some olives

122
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: lying around, some you know. I mean, it sounds it

123
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: sounds like I'm just making something from garbage, but it

124
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: really is is these are all things that will keep forever. Yeah,

125
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: And that's that's what we do Petripasta.

126
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: So this kind of reminds me of this woman that

127
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: I met recently and feeling pretty bad right now that

128
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: her name is escaping me. But she has an Instagram

129
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: page and she I don't know if she's coined this,

130
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: but she does this thing called shelf Timber where it's

131
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: like in September she challenges everybody to only use fifty

132
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: dollars a week for groceries. I think she's a pretty

133
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: large family. I think she has like six or seven

134
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 3: kids something like that. Well, so I think this might

135
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 3: help Chris's community as well, you know, and they are

136
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 3: challenged to use only what's in the pantry on their

137
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: shelves for this whole month, and then they can buy like,

138
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: you know, chicken or some of those additive type things

139
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: to round out a meal with the fifty dollars. And

140
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: it's a way that they save up for the holidays

141
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: that are quickly approaching. Right, So it's like we're gonna

142
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: eat in, We're gonna just clear out our pantry because,

143
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 3: like you said, I mean, have you ever got I mean,

144
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: this is my experience. I'd go to my mom's house

145
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: and I would go into her pantry and I would

146
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 3: see something from like two thousand and and four, and

147
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 3: I'm like ah, and I'm like, like, you're what It's

148
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: like a can of olives and You're like, hey, I'm

149
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: pretty sure this is expired. And she's like it's fine.

150
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, Like, I don't think you should eat this.

151
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: Like there has to be some reason why we can't

152
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: just keep things forever, you know, But.

153
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: Can't you eat a two thousand and four tour Alli?

154
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I probably would. I'm embarrassed

155
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: to say I don't really check the labels that often

156
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: although my mother she uh, well, first off, she wasn't

157
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: a good cook. Nobody likes to say that about their

158
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: mother once. My mother was a bit, but my mother

159
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: was a terrible cook. Let's face it. She had six kids. Yeah,

160
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: And and she was kind of often doing what it

161
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: is that talking about just kind of you know, finding

162
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: some stuff and whipping something up. I mean, I think

163
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: that we're a lot better at making it taste good.

164
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: But she wasn't as good as improvising as you're saying.

165
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: No, And she would she would take things and she

166
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: didn't believe she's very much ahead of her time in

167
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: terms of this, but she didn't believe in like single

168
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: use plastic. And and so she would just take food

169
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: and just put it in a bowl and just stick

170
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: it in the refrigerator and sometimes it would sit there

171
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. And that that's the stuff

172
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: that I was like not not going near in a

173
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: case something that was actually vacuum fact or sealed. I'm

174
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: okay with it. And you know, I'll tell you something

175
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: interesting in terms of like, as we know, fresh food

176
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: often goes hand and often people who have food insecurity,

177
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: it becomes very hard for them to find fresh food.

178
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: There aren't places that actually have you know, fresh produce.

179
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: There are in food deserts often, yeah.

180
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: Food deserts. Yeah. But one thing that is true, and

181
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm not a nutritionist, but I can tell you that

182
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: I recently read an article which was had to do

183
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: with which was written by you know, smarter people that

184
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: me scientists saying these are the things that we wish

185
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: people would stop believing in terms of food nutrition, and

186
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: one of them was that canned fruits and vegetables are nutritionous, nutritional.

187
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: They You can have a frozen or canned or frozen

188
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: fruits and vegetables, if they contained a whole ton of

189
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: sugar like that's added, then possibly that's you know, going

190
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: to you're gonna have to kind of keep an eye

191
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: on that. But if you're talking about a can of

192
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: peas or or or a bag of spinach that's been frozen,

193
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: these are that you don't lose any nutritional value from

194
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: from vegetables when they're when they're frozen or can Apparently

195
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: it's some yeah, and in some cases it's actually they

196
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: actually have more vehements and minerals than they do if

197
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: you cook them down and cook them fresh. So when

198
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: I when I learned that, I said, well, that's really

199
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: that's interesting because it it means that if there are

200
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: things that are on shelves that people can get, you know,

201
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: some good nutritional value from those from those fruits and vegetables. Anyway,

202
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: good question.

203
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, all right. Question number two do you want

204
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 3: to read it?

205
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 4: Coup?

206
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: Okay? This is from Rebecca Graham. Kevin, you with your

207
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: wonderful family are so special? A question for you? Would

208
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: you do Footloose too? U? Footloose too has been done?

209
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 5: Has it?

210
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: Though?

211
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: I thought it was like a remake, you know, like, well,

212
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: what's your right?

213
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel your foot.

214
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: Loose two would be like a sequel like you are now, John,

215
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: let's go.

216
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not banning dancing, not.

217
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: Your banning dancing.

218
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: But you know, like you're older, you've raised your own

219
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 3: your kids are are in high school, right, like I

220
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: feel like that's the sequel, right, like it's your son right.

221
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: Never say never. I think it would be a disaster.

222
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: It's funny because they they made countless Friday the thirteenth,

223
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, when I was in the very first Friday

224
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: the thirteenth. Then they remake Footlosts and they remade Flatliners,

225
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: and then I decided that they're just remaking all the

226
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: movies that I was in the beginning with F. So

227
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: if I do another movie that becaus with F will

228
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: probably probably, I don't know.

229
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: You know, a few good men, let's not.

230
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: Few good men? There you go, there you go? Well

231
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: that actually they're they're doing that too. No, yeah, I

232
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: think so that.

233
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: Just makes me angry. Just leave well enough alone.

234
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,359
Speaker 3: No, seriously, I have a couple things like Dirty Dancing, obviously, especially.

235
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: In my generation, that is like a classic. You watch it.

236
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: I watched it to death.

237
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 3: I watched it so many times I could quote most

238
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 3: lines from that movie. They remade it, right, they did

239
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: a kind of part two Dirty Dancing Havanah Knights or

240
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: something like oh yeah, right right right, no offense who

241
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: everyone was in it. But no, it was not Just

242
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: leave leave them alone. If they ever try to remake Breakfast.

243
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,119
Speaker 2: Club, oh, I will start.

244
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: A petition like, wow, is that one of your favorites?

245
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: That's my my yearbook quote? Was you know that closing

246
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: line of the movie, No, I doubt which of us

247
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: are a princess? A brain? The act of you know

248
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: a criminal and an outcast or.

249
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: Something like that.

250
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: Someone that loves that movie is actually really angry with

251
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: me right now.

252
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: They're like, you don't love that.

253
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 3: Movie this is the quote, but it shouldn't be remade.

254
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: But I feel like those are the types of movies

255
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: that are yeah, like on the chopping block, someone's going

256
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: to try to remake it.

257
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: M I may yeah, yeah, Yeah. It's a funny thing

258
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: with remakes because I kind of agree with you. There

259
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: is something about let's just leave well enough alone unless

260
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: there's really a really kind of fresh idea. But the

261
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: other piece of it is that in our business, everyone

262
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: wants intellectual property and wants to, you know, revisit intellectual property.

263
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: That being said, you know, I'm in Beverly Hills Cop four,

264
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: and I think that's actually going to be really fun movie.

265
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: I think I think it had Top Gun, you know,

266
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: when they redid Top Gun recently, you know, or I

267
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: mean so anyway, I don't know what the story would

268
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: be for Footloose. It would have to be you know. Actually,

269
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: they actually offered me a part in the second, you know,

270
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: in the remake of Yeah it was terrible. The part was,

271
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, why would I be in this playing.

272
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. Like it doesn't. It just

273
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense here. I'm not I'm not really understanding.

274
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: So anyway, they I said, no, they didn't. They didn't

275
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: miss me. Actually I thought I thought the dancing was

276
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: incredible in that movie. Yet the second one was in

277
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: a lot of ways a lot better than what we did.

278
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, thanks for that question.

279
00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: And awesome, so we have a the special next question. Actually,

280
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: I received a note from Sharon Sawyer and Sharon was

281
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 3: writing in about her niece and her niece Kelsey, who

282
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 3: will hear about it because we have some audio clips

283
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: to play. But in short, Kelsey has had a really

284
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: has gone through some pretty hard circumstances. Right, So she

285
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: lost her brother to cancer when she was a kid

286
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 3: and he was a kid, and then in her early

287
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: twenties she lost her mother.

288
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: And she was one of.

289
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: These people who basically stared at grief and decided to

290
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 3: use it to fuel her to create pretty incredible impact

291
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: through starting a nonprofit. And so I read this note

292
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 3: that we had submitted and I just thought, I.

293
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 2: Need to call Sharon. I want to talk to her.

294
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 3: I want to, you know, hear her voice and hear

295
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: her talk about Kelsey and then following up with Kelsey

296
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: as well. So I want to share a clip from

297
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: that conversation with Sharon Sawyer where she really talks about

298
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: her niece, Kelsey's story and what she's done over the

299
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: last few years. So we're going to play that clip now.

300
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: My niece Kelsey took tragedy, you know a lot of

301
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 4: tragedy in her life and turned it into something really

302
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 4: really good. Kelsey and her brother went to camp when

303
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 4: they were children. And when they went to camp, he

304
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: was eleven and she was thirteen, and it was a

305
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 4: pediatric cancer camp that.

306
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 6: Is held locally.

307
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: It was what everyone came to say Cole, her brother,

308
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 4: Cole's best week of his life. And she loved it

309
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: there too because they had siblings of children with cancer

310
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 4: there as well, and it was just a place you

311
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 4: could be yourself and you could be around other people

312
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 4: that had cancer.

313
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 7: And her mother, Stacy was very, very.

314
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 4: Involved with this camp after Cole passed away, and Stacey

315
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 4: became president of the local.

316
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 7: Foundation that runs his camp and just had a huge

317
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 7: passion for it.

318
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 4: Kelsey, as well as my children and a lot of

319
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 4: people in our family, all worked at.

320
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 7: This camp retreat, you know, every year when it would come.

321
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 8: But the biggest need they had was a facility or

322
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 8: a place that they could hold it that was safe,

323
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 8: that was like ADH eighty eight approved, close to the

324
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 8: local hospital. It just there was not a facility or

325
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 8: a place to do this locally, and so they were

326
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 8: taking children to the upstate and it was just a

327
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 8: long distance if someone got happened to get sick, you know,

328
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 8: the week of the thing. But Kelsey and all my

329
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 8: Kelsey became just very passionate as every counselor for Camp

330
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 8: Chemo ends up getting for the children.

331
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 7: And that's where kind of it, that's kind of.

332
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 4: What drove her to try to help build this retreat

333
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: center that her mother dreamed of years ago.

334
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 7: After her mother had passed away.

335
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 4: You know, when her mother passed away, they immediately, I

336
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 4: mean it was very suddenly when her mother passed away,

337
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 4: they immediately started a foundation named after Kelsey and I

338
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 4: mean named after Cole and Stacy and then with the

339
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 4: idea that they would possibly donate it to a camp

340
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 4: or build a camp. And the next thing you knew,

341
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: they were flying with it, and Kelsey and others in

342
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 4: the community decided to support this idea and build Camp Coal.

343
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 6: And how much did they end up raising to build

344
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 6: Camp Coal.

345
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 7: The initial.

346
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 4: The initial capital campaign was nine million dollars and they

347
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 4: achieved that in under two years. When you're starting from

348
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 4: grassroots and nothing thing, it takes a lot to get

349
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 4: to that place. And there's a local family that was

350
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 4: just very instrumental in this.

351
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 7: They bought the Fawcett family bought.

352
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 4: The land that was donated to Camp Cole, which is

353
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 4: forty acres and they donated it to Camp Cole and

354
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 4: they bought it for this purpose. Their daughter too, was

355
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 4: a counselor at Camp Chemo and understood what it meant

356
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 4: for these children to be at camp for a.

357
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 7: Week, and so you know, it started rolling from there.

358
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: Those were friends of the family and friends at Kelsey

359
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 4: and her Dad's got new and they believed in the

360
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 4: dream and helped them a long way to get it

361
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 4: rolling on.

362
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: You know, Kevin, when you first started six Degrees, did

363
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 3: you ever think about, like how difficult that fundraising piece is,

364
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: Because like when I hear that nine million dollars, that

365
00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 3: is a ton two days in two years, amazing, It's incredible.

366
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing. It's that is a that is a

367
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: lot of money. Yeah, and and and it's something that

368
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: I honestly I still you know, I still kind of

369
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: struggle with a little bit. You know, obviously if you

370
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: if you're if you're doing well, you're going to be

371
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: on the other end of people asking for money, you know,

372
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: a lot. And I think that, uh, you know, what

373
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: people do with their money and how much of it

374
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: they give away or or don't. You know, it's a

375
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: very private, very personal kind of decision. I mean I

376
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: think that uh, you know sometimes you know when when

377
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: people I'm sure there's people that like this family, that

378
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: that go out and just say, okay, I'm just gonna

379
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: buy this this, you know, forty acres for for these people,

380
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: and they probably do it quietly and aren't really you know,

381
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: looking for a big pad on the back. And that

382
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: there's people that publicly, you know, will donate you'll hear

383
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: about it, you know, donate millions of dollars to something.

384
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: And and I think those are both really really super

385
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: valid ways in order to to uh to you know,

386
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: spend your money or or or donate. I don't I

387
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: don't pass a judgment on either one. Of those things,

388
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: either saying privately or being public about it. But I

389
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: do know that it's it's not in my nature to

390
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: ask people for money. It's just for some reason, it's

391
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: it's not I've always found a little bit uncomfortable. We've

392
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that, you know, I never really

393
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: wanted to do sort of typical fundraisers, you know, uh,

394
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: rubber chicken dinners and you know, auctions and that whole

395
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: that whole way of you know, working with with charity.

396
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: But it is a it's that's just the way it

397
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's there. There's no way around it. So

398
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: to answer your question, I didn't know how difficult it

399
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: was going to be, and but I did know that

400
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: it was going to be something that I was not

401
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: going to, you know, feel all that you know, comfortable

402
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: with in my situation. Also, there's this other piece of

403
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: it I think if you know too truthfully, which is

404
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: people can look at something like asking for a donation

405
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: and I'll say, well, why don't you just you know,

406
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: why don't you just pay for it? You know? But

407
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: I think this is really this is impressive that in

408
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: that amount of time that they're nowhere, where is this.

409
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: Camp by the way, it's in South Carolina.

410
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 3: South Carolina m H And yeah, no, it's incredible, And

411
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: she touched on a couple of things in there that

412
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 3: I think were really powerful, and it actually ties back

413
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 3: to your point that you just made. I think sometimes

414
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: when there's a celebrity that's like a founder of an organization,

415
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: it can be even more difficult because of that very reason.

416
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 3: People are like, well, why don't you just like solve

417
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: world hunger yourself?

418
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: Right?

419
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: But the key that makes I think Kelsey's organization Camp

420
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: Coal and Sharing story so powerful is that all these

421
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 3: people were touched by the work of Camp Chemo, which

422
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 3: was this earlier camp that they experienced as kids, and

423
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 3: they were so touched by it because they saw the

424
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 3: way it impacted their loved ones and their niece and

425
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 3: nephew that attended it, and then family members got engaged

426
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 3: and other community members got engaged. And I think that

427
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: that's the key. It's like, if there was just one

428
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: source of throw money at it, it actually doesn't do

429
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 3: anything right. You actually need people to be inspired, yeah,

430
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: to have skin in the game and to roll up

431
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: their sleeves and want to stand like shoulder shoulder with

432
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 3: you on this work right, because it's not just money

433
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 3: to build something like to operate something like this, which

434
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: they'll get into. It's an immense undertaking and I just

435
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 3: think it's is so incredible to think that, especially a

436
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: young woman that was, you know, facing that type of heartache,

437
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: was able to turn that into something so inspiring. I

438
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 3: want to play a little bit more from my conversation

439
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 3: with Kelsey, because I got a chance to reach out

440
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 3: to Kelsey, who is a dolt, just as Sharon braved

441
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 3: about her niece, I'm just so so so kind, and

442
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: she shared a little bit about you know who she

443
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 3: is and who Camp Cole was named after, and you

444
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 3: know why she started it. So let's play that clip now.

445
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 5: My name is Kelsey Sawyer Cole and Camp Cole is

446
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 5: a camp for children, teams, and adults with illnesses, disabilities.

447
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 6: And life changes.

448
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 5: Camp Cole really started and was birthed out of a

449
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 5: place of pure love, joy and excitement.

450
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 6: So Camp Quoe really came.

451
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 5: About because at the age of eleven and I was

452
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 5: thirteen at the time, I had a younger brother who

453
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 5: was diagnosed with a really rare form of cancer, rapdomyasar coma,

454
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 5: and so with that diagnosis, we really saw our normalcy

455
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 5: in our daily lives kind of be flipped upside down.

456
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 6: And so for.

457
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 5: Us, you know, days were packed in the hospital. Cool

458
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 5: had multiple shots in the evening times. It was pretty

459
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 5: ill the bit I watched his entire kind of physical

460
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 5: physical stature shift and change, and so it was just

461
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 5: really difficult for my family and I to kind of

462
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 5: navigate this new sense of life in the way that

463
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 5: it looked. Fortunately for us, we were introduced to a

464
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 5: camp program that provides the camp experience for children who

465
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 5: have cancer in their siblings, and so that's really where

466
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 5: Cole and I were able to be with other people

467
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 5: who understood what it was like to be walking in

468
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 5: the shoes that we were walking in. For Cole to

469
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 5: be able to open up the doors and see other

470
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 5: kids with bald heads and other kids with ports, and

471
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 5: to have discussions over chemotherapy, treatment and oral medication, and

472
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 5: to talk about the realities in a safe space. For us,

473
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 5: it was just something I'll never forget. And then selfishly

474
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 5: for me to be around other siblings who knew what

475
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 5: it was like for mom and Dad not to be

476
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 5: able to make soccer practice or not be there to

477
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 5: pick you up after school. It was just this community

478
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 5: that could feel all the way that we felt a

479
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 5: lot of times, we found this an intense sense of

480
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 5: empathy at a time where our community was so incredible

481
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 5: to us, but they showed us so much sympathy, and

482
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 5: so for us, it just was it was a It

483
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 5: created these memories, It created these experiences at a time

484
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 5: where I felt like cancer took so much from us.

485
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 6: It took my family away.

486
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 5: From me, it took Cole being able to participate in

487
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 5: soccer and skateboarding and swimming and surfing. But camp, for us,

488
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 5: it gave us something. It gave us friendships, it gave

489
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 5: us so much more. And so we came back after

490
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 5: that week long overnight camp and would not be quiet.

491
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 6: So Cole and I talked about it NonStop.

492
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 5: And that's really where my family saw the benefit that

493
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 5: camp can make in a child's life.

494
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 6: So my whole family got really involved.

495
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, about four months after that camp experience, Cole passed away.

496
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 5: But for us, once again, we were surrounded by this community,

497
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 5: this group, this family who knew what it was like

498
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 5: to be walking in the shoes that we were walking in.

499
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 5: And so that for us, maybe just an incredible impact

500
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 5: in our lives. Those counselors, those other campers are still

501
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 5: my best friends are still We're still in my wedding,

502
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 5: We're there through my child's first birthday. So it's just

503
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 5: been incredible to see the way that lifelong friendships can

504
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 5: really be birthed out of some pretty intense obstacles that

505
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 5: we have.

506
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 6: To go overcome.

507
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: Wow, that is some some story. What a uh I

508
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: mean talk about taking something so painful and so difficult

509
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: to even bear and you know, turning it into something

510
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: uh just kind of beautiful. And you know the thing

511
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: that I'm struck with. And when we talk about this

512
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: a lot with six degrees dot orger these kind of

513
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: grassroots movements because and I'm not I'm not you know,

514
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: saying this is not also this this would also be

515
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: something great to do. But you could also find have found,

516
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,239
Speaker 1: you know, an organization pediatric cancer research or whatever it is,

517
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: and started to do you know, fundraising in your own community.

518
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: But in this case, you know, she took something that

519
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: was so important, so experiential to her and really really

520
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: personal and built something that is really really super personal,

521
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, to her, And that's what was really kind

522
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: of so impressive about this.

523
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that a lot of what she talked

524
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 3: about was connection, which we often talk about at six

525
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 3: degrees as well, and that need that we all have

526
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 3: for human connection. Yeah, and I think that when you're

527
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 3: in that like kind of coming of age time period

528
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 3: of your life, especially like eleven, twelve, thirteen years old,

529
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 3: a week it can't can feel like one of the

530
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: most life changing things that you've experienced to date.

531
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: Right, you're away from.

532
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: Your parents, you have some autonomy, you're with your peers,

533
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 3: you are learning to kind of navigate in the world

534
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: without that adult in your life being there telling you, you.

535
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: Know nature, Yeah, sometimes it's your first yeah, disposure to nature.

536
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, absolutely, So yeah, a lot of friendships are

537
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 3: formed that way because they're experiencing that together. So yeah,

538
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: I think what they're doing is incredible. The other thing

539
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 3: that this camp does really well is how they structure

540
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: their camps so that kids that have similar lived experience

541
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 3: or similar disabilities are actually at camp at the same time,

542
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: so that they're around more children that they have like

543
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: this very unique experience with right, creating just more belonging.

544
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 5: Camp Cole is actually located in Columbia, South Carolina. In

545
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 5: so we love our location. It's able to serve thousands

546
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 5: of children that really range from a very wide variety

547
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 5: of different critical illnesses and disabilities. So we get the opportunity,

548
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 5: and I say, we have the privilege to serve campers

549
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 5: who have real genetic disorders, part and kidney disease, children

550
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 5: experiencing homelessness, children who've experienced severe burns.

551
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 6: So it is.

552
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 5: Very incredible to be able to see the diversity that

553
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 5: we have the opportunity to give those those transformative experiences

554
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 5: that spark the joy year at camp. And so we

555
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 5: really at the nucleus of Camp Coal were really focused

556
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 5: on providing an experience that otherwise would not exist for

557
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 5: these populations. And so for us being able to give

558
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 5: a child with a very severe critical illness an opportunity

559
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 5: to catch a fish, or to play basketball, or to

560
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 5: get on the back of a horse to hold a chicken,

561
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 5: these are all little things that I feel like so much.

562
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 5: So we are so blessed with a good, clean health,

563
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 5: and so when.

564
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 6: Something like this.

565
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 5: Happens in your family or to a loved one, you're

566
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 5: really challenged to think about wait a minute, you know,

567
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 5: health is such so important to us and being healthy

568
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 5: and living healthy, active lifestyles. And so for us, Cole

569
00:34:53,760 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 5: was very active, loved being outdoors, loved team building activity,

570
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 5: and loved his peers and being social and that was

571
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 5: something that with the critical illness all his things, for us,

572
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 5: it became a lot harder.

573
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 6: And so I really think back to.

574
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 5: Being at a young age, at the age of thirteen

575
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 5: and when Cole was eleven, just really seeing the little

576
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 5: things in life that we take for granted and how

577
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 5: do you remember, and showed a great gratitude and appreciation

578
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 5: for them.

579
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. I mean, it's interesting because again this is

580
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: this isn't an example of someone that is taking something

581
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 1: super personal, like a super personal experience, and even taking

582
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: the details of that experience and shaping the the you know,

583
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: the foundation, the movement, the idea around those those very

584
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: very specific personal ideas. And you know, it is true that,

585
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: I mean, camp experience is not everybody get as the

586
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: luxury of having them, but can be you know, very profound,

587
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 1: even as you pointed out Stacey in a week and

588
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure that there's also a lot of great impact

589
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: for the families surrounding the people that are the kids

590
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: that are going and you know, not just the not

591
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: just the kids, but the families that get a chance

592
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: to witness that or experienced that, or be able to

593
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: offer some kind of i don't know, respite from what

594
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: must be a really very challenging and difficult time.

595
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely.

596
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 3: It had me reflecting a lot in my conversation with

597
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 3: Kelsey about what we take for granted all the time

598
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: when you have a kind of quote unquote clean bill

599
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 3: of health. And you know, I've talked about this a

600
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 3: little bit before, but my mom was legally blind and

601
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 3: she was in a car accident when I was eight,

602
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 3: and so it was, you know, just kind of a

603
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 3: cute accident. Then when she came out of the hospital,

604
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 3: you know, she everything changed about you know, she couldn't

605
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 3: you know, be a nurse anymore. And she wasn't able

606
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 3: just to jump in a car and drive to the

607
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: beach if she wanted to drive in the beach. I

608
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: mean little things like you know, being able to catch

609
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 3: something on your periphery right and being.

610
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: Like, oh, there's a there's a dolphin over there, did

611
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:35,479
Speaker 2: you see that? Just jump?

612
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: It's like, there's no way she was ever going to

613
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 3: see things like that again. And I think when although

614
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 3: she wasn't a sibling, as a daughter, it had a

615
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 3: similar impact when you are growing up having to be

616
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 3: more aware of this person and create more space for

617
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 3: them and their needs. And it can be it can

618
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 3: be a lot, but it also can really help shape

619
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 3: you and make you passionate about you know, equal access

620
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 3: and accessibility and inclusion for those that are disabled and

621
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: are you know, do have ailments that we don't talk

622
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 3: about a lot in society, and so yeah, it's it's

623
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 3: just it sounds like a really beautiful space, camp Coal,

624
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 3: and I can only imagine that these kids are and

625
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: their siblings are having some of the best times of

626
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 3: their lives.

627
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, that's I'm so glad you reached out

628
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: to them.

629
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was let's tell you, it was a hard call.

630
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 3: I was like, I could not do this all the time.

631
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: It was very emotional, right, and I think, well.

632
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: Kids of your own, no, I mean, you know, that's

633
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: that's that's when this kind of thing really starts to

634
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: really starts to hit you.

635
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely. And I've had friends that have lost their

636
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 3: their children as well from pediatric cancer, and so yeah,

637
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 3: I think about Abigail and Eloise and I think about

638
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 3: what you would do as a parent. But such an

639
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 3: inspiring story, and we're going to make sure that people

640
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 3: know exactly where they can learn and help Camp Coal

641
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 3: and Kelsey's work further with a great call to action.

642
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 5: Our call to action for Camp Coal would be for

643
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 5: people to get involved be a part of our team.

644
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 5: Follow us on social media. Camp Coal at Camp Cole,

645
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 5: South Carolina. Our website is campcol dot org. It is

646
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 5: not inexpensive to send these campers to camp. While they're

647
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 5: out here, we don't get to just say, wait a minute,

648
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 5: let's stop treatment for a week. Let's stop your medical

649
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 5: treatment plan for a week.

650
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 6: We have to do We rock on.

651
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 5: Even at camp, so we're really quickly administering the medication

652
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 5: and getting them back out to having fun. And so

653
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 5: that cost is something that prohibits some of our campers

654
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 5: to have this experience. So financial donations means such a

655
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 5: great deal to us. We're big on Amazon wish List

656
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 5: and getting those you know, the band aids, the bug spray,

657
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 5: all the fun different sports falls out here to Camp Goal.

658
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 5: So those are all different ways that you can really

659
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 5: help and be a part.

660
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 6: Of our team.

Speaker 1: you so much for coming on and sharing your story

664
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: and telling us about the camp. Uh, it's it's it's incredible.

665
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: What's what what you guys are doing there and you

666
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: should be very proud of this work. And as everybody heard, uh,

667
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: those are there's ways that you could help. There's ways

668
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: that you can reach out and things that you can do.

669
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: I can tell you. Let me just tell you a

670
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: funny camp story. Well you can decide if it's funny

671
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: or not. When I was in camp what it has

672
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: to do with things of a charitable nature. When I

673
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: was in camp, every year at this camp, they would

674
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: do this thing called the fund and campers would either

675
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: pick blueberries or strawberries. It was kind of like a

676
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: work camp, and or they would forego a meal. They

677
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: would do different things that would raise money for a

678
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: specific fund that the money that these campers, either from

679
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: giving up or from working, we're going to donate each year.

680
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: And then campers would pick a particular fund and do

681
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: a little research on it to the extent that you

682
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: could I don't even know how you could research something

683
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: where we were out. There was no computers. Obviously, this

684
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: we're talking about the I don't know, probably late sixties

685
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: or seventies, and and and then they would make a

686
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: presentation for this fund to the camp body and everybody

687
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: in the camp would vote, and then the winner of

688
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 1: that vote would get the money that the campers raised

689
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: that year. So the year that I was there, and

690
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: let me just say generally, it was you know, Save

691
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: the Whales, Save in the Redwoods Unise, you know, charities

692
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: like that. I decided that we should raise money for

693
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: the Black Panthers, and so I I stood up in

694
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: front of the camp body because at that time, you know,

695
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: the Panthers were doing you know, they had this breakfast

696
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: program that was you know, very popular. They were doing

697
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: a lot of you know stuff. And I stood up

698
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: in front of the camp body and then, you know,

699
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: I said, okay, folks, this is this is why I

700
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: think that the money should go to the Black Panthers.

701
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: And we won the vot vote. But here's the hilarious thing,

702
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: and this taught me a lot about the world. All

703
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the people that ran the camp just

704
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: freaked out. They were like, we can't give the money

705
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: to the Black Bess. I said, you have to. We

706
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: won the vote, and it went back and forth, and

707
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: this this big argument. They had no problem with me

708
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: presenting it, but once it actually won, all of a

709
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: sudden they went, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, this can't happen.

710
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 1: And so the compromise, which I was very unhappy with.

711
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: But you know what was I going to do I

712
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: was eleven years old, was that the money would be

713
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: divided between for the four charities that were presented. So

714
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: in the summer of whatever this was in nineteen seventy

715
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: one or this is in nineteen seventy there was probably

716
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: a check for about twelve dollars and thirty five cents

717
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: that presumably came from Camp Tree Tops to the Black Panthers.

718
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 3: I love it.

719
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. That's that's my camp story and listen.
