Speaker 2: If a woman said that to me over our first lunch, I'd be like, this is it? This is it? It just happened. You do feel that, you feel that that was so grown, that was so grown. It felt like a pickup line. It's like I wasn't all know it was it just it just it just happened. I was just like, oh, ship, Angie, the possibilities are in this. You know me, you feel seen, you feel seen, my soul. I've been working so hard to cover this all up and she just broke my ship down in two seconds.

00:01:37
Speaker 4: And ladies and gentlemen, that is Tyrese real life. Tyrese is our guest today. I love that you aren't here your first time on the pod.

00:01:48
Speaker 3: Yes, I was just explaining to you the pod is a little different than some of our We've had meaningful interviews in.

00:01:53
Speaker 1: The past, but this is just a little warm You know.

00:01:58
Speaker 3: I value the experiences of our real life because I think people really can learn from them, and so they go a little deeper.

00:02:05
Speaker 2: And you said, oh no, I mean this is this is where. This is the place I live every day, This is where I function from, This is where I would rather be. You know, you know, I got I got managers and folks pulling me to the side all the time, like, you know, just bring the energy up. You know, everything doesn't have to be so deep and in so many details, and but that you know, the Capricorn and me, I'm I'm I'm I wear my heart on my sleeve. I lead with my vulnerabilities. I trust easy. You know, I deal with people taking their access for granted, often all while still feeling very misunderstood. You know, really, Oh god, this I felt like I understand me.

00:02:56
Speaker 1: Well, what is the thing you think that people don't understand?

00:03:01
Speaker 2: I mean, no two scenario is ever the same, you know, like it'll be like, you know, did that really happen or were you just doing interviews?

00:03:14
Speaker 1: Or is that real?

00:03:16
Speaker 2: Yeah? Is that real?

00:03:17
Speaker 1: You know, because because you're emotional, very yeah.

00:03:21
Speaker 2: Right, but it's not I don't think anybody would schedule a teer, you know, oh at three point thirty drop them. It's not a movie. This is real life. So you wake up and want to be married for the rest of your life and get blindsided by a divorce, and then you're pulling out your human calculator trying to process like, well, what did I say? What did I do? And what is what is what am I on the receiving end of and how am I supposed to process what's happening? All while the world believes that I'm the strongest, most out for outspoken, big, huge, can Capricorn energy, you know, loud vocal, takeover the energy of every room I walk into. But I'm just this teddy bear, vulnerable processing everything.

00:04:15
Speaker 3: You know. It's so funny because I've known you for so long now, We've had so many great conversations on air and off air.

00:04:21
Speaker 1: I run into you, haven't seen you in two years.

00:04:22
Speaker 3: I run into you in the street in La were standing in the street for thirty minutes having a conversation. You're so engaged with whatever you're doing in the moment, And to me, that's you. Just like you said, You're just like you have energy. And so if it's love, it's energy. If it's sadness, it's a lot of energy.

00:04:40
Speaker 1: You just that energy.

00:04:41
Speaker 3: You put that energy on whatever it is, whatever is happening in the moment.

00:04:44
Speaker 1: I get that about you.

00:04:45
Speaker 2: It's a movie.

00:04:46
Speaker 3: But when we were telling you, we were talking about you coming today. I was telling Brittany, because Brittany is well, she's younger than us. It's like, you know how Tyrese came, Like how we got introduced to Tyrese And she got quiet.

00:05:00
Speaker 1: For a second.

00:05:01
Speaker 3: She probably thinks of you as tyres from you know, Fast and Furious.

00:05:05
Speaker 1: Whatever music or whatever.

00:05:06
Speaker 3: But I said, no, you don't remember the Coca Cola commercial, and she hadn't seen it, so we all bust out the Cola commercial.

00:05:13
Speaker 2: Wow the first time.

00:05:18
Speaker 3: No. I mean, there's a whole generation of people that know you from different eras, and there might be some of the younger generations that don't remember being introduced to you. I remember being introduced to you, and so even in your highs and your lows and your emotional things and all that that, I still see how I was introduced to you, which was just like this entity who got on this bus and this commercial with this crazy smile and voice, and.

00:05:48
Speaker 1: Everybody was like, who is that? Who is that kid?

00:05:53
Speaker 3: There was such a like a joy and you know what I mean, You're just like you came in that way, you came in that.

00:05:59
Speaker 2: Way being happiness. It was it was real. It was very real. Uh, this is what's interesting.

00:06:11
Speaker 1: I feel like I want to insert the video right there for people to see.

00:06:14
Speaker 3: For anybody who is not of the generation, just to take you back to that moment.

00:06:18
Speaker 1: Well you haven't seen it in a long time.

00:06:20
Speaker 3: I just want to remind you how we were introduced to tyres.

00:06:23
Speaker 2: Boom boom.

00:06:25
Speaker 1: Can you make sure I get cleared for that?

00:06:27
Speaker 2: Done? Done, done, done? No, But I want y'all to know that I try my best to never get too familiar with being blessed, like you're blessed. But do you see it? Do you see that there's actually food in the fridge, and that you're driving what you want to drive, and that's this is the house that you really wanted that you could you got it. It's furnished the way you want it to be. Fun kids, just have the pool is warm. Do you see how blessed you are? Or have you allowed yourself to get too familiar with being blessed? It's so focused on the next thing that you've lost sight of what you already have. Other folks have had, other folks have had five minutes of fame, Like, guess it's what we've been hearing this for years. Oh he got his five minutes of fame. Yeah the moment, Yeah, I had thirty seconds. Five minutes of fame would have been incredible. I had thirty seconds that has turned into thirty years.

00:09:08
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's it's allowing myself to be that little kid that got on the bus and it has I have been on this bus for thirty years and cannot believe. And I literally say this every day, God, why do you love me so much?

00:09:31
Speaker 1: That's crazy? What do I say all the time?

00:09:34
Speaker 5: He loves me?

00:09:35
Speaker 3: Whenever something I go, God loves me so much. I don't ask why. I just make the statement. I say this. This is like the past couple of years, this has been like my thing. I say it all the time. Literally, I could be like God.

00:09:46
Speaker 1: I'm in such in the mood for refreshing, oh.

00:09:49
Speaker 2: Boom, oh my gosh.

00:09:51
Speaker 3: God loves me so much, Like anytime something happens.

00:09:56
Speaker 1: That is my go to phrase, God loves me so much.

00:09:58
Speaker 2: The reason that I put why in front of it, it's not questioning him. It's me understanding that God's grace is when he gives you what you don't deserve, right, so someone who is entitled to it will never see God's hand in it. Yeah this is mine, Yeah I drive that. Yeah I got another show. Yeah, like it's me. But when you understand that that did not have to happen, and then it happened, and then it happened on such a real level with real numbers attached, and you got real guests that you're securing and all of this stuff. Why does God love me so much? God loves you so much because your heart is right. And I don't really know of anybody who could ever say a bad thing about Andrew Martinez. Now, they might not like you when it's time to negotiate a deal, right because a woman who I say no to something, Yeah, you say no to something I can't pull up. But you know, they have some entitlement issues and if you if you say no, then they're like, oh, well you know what I'm saying. I thought we was boom or No. One wants to negotiate with Angie, right, because when a woman functions from a place of knowing her self worth and her self value, that gets very uncomfortable. When somebody trying to throw you two dollars, like you some fucking chicken chicken nugget in the game.

00:11:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, those days have passed me. I used to take chicken nugget money just because I was humble, and I thought I was supposed to you know, but now you know, I'm in my know my value era Okay.

00:11:42
Speaker 2: And and sometimes and again going back to that why question, right, sometimes the humility would make you disappear in the room. Don't be too humble where you disappear here in the deal terms. You know, I'm just because you're functioning from a yo. I'm just so grateful for the opportunity. You know what I'm saying. This could have you could have given anybody this opportunity. So now you are here, super humble, and it's genuine. But then they milk the humility and the gratitude and the appreciation that you have for the opportunity and they say, well, nigga, you so grateful, take this two dollars.

00:12:25
Speaker 3: But also it's like it's almost like almost a little bit of an imposter syndrome. I always felt like I'm just so lucky to be in the room. But then but no, but if you think about it in a way like, well, God put me in this room, so y'all should see me the way He sees me. Yes, so if I'm in this room, them, I'm supposed to be in this room.

00:12:45
Speaker 2: And I see you. Yeah, I see you even without me physically being here. I see you even when I'm not with you, when I'm not around you. It's It's always good. God is good to Angie Martine. You are always engaging, You are always creating safe environments, always warm and personable. And you know I often say this, right, I got a lot of different sayings, but one of the sayings is who you are is who you are. Literally, you can go get twenty million next week and you'd be like, yo, I just got twenty mili. But it's not going to change who I am. I'm not going to start treating people differently. Well, I can say from experiences not about money, but from like making more money than I never thought I would ever see ever in my life. Theres a regular black kid from South central LA. I was like, it's not the money that changes people. Right. There's a book called as a Man thinketh so is he and as a Man Think of speaks to the specifics of who you are is already there. And whatever you end up doing, whatever your intentions are, you're a monster waiting on an opportunity to be a monster. You know, you're a really bad person and now that you've got money, and now that we can see the extensions of your evil, you're a bigger monster and you are now like an evil genius. And then there's the purity of when you put the money or the opportunities in this good person's hands, everything about your intentions will reflect that you can't put ten million dollars in a bad person's hands and not expect him to do bad things.

00:15:00
Speaker 3: I feel like those bad people get it faster and easier for somebody do.

00:15:03
Speaker 2: Right, and then they end up in jail and we're all sitting back going our damn. But you made this all look so great. And so I often say, run your raced, run your race. Stop losing people, stop losing money over everybody else's gifts. What opportunities happened for them first before you? What seems to be bigger and better? What's a bigger check? Run your race?

00:15:32
Speaker 1: Race word.

00:15:33
Speaker 2: Go to sleep at night and just know that God really does love you, and he's doing everything for you that he has in mind for you. God will never give you something that belongs to somebody else.

00:15:49
Speaker 1: So good. Take me back to that kid, though, Yes, how old is he? How old is he?

00:15:55
Speaker 2: On the bus I'm forty seven now, but I was sixteen then.

00:15:58
Speaker 1: He was sixteen.

00:15:59
Speaker 3: On the yes, did you understand that then? Did you understand that you were being blessed at that moment? Was the blessing?

00:16:06
Speaker 1: Were you connected to God in that way?

00:16:09
Speaker 3: No?

00:16:09
Speaker 2: No, I'd be lying. The only thing I wanted was I wanted two things. There was this girl at the end of my block, that's what you wanted that I was flirting with. And her dad name was Steve, and he was mean as hell, and I just was trying my best to get her phone number. Man, I was too young and she was too young for me to be called in her house. But I just wanted her daughter's his daughter's phone number. And I also wanted to know what it would be like to have over one hundred dollars in my pocket at one time, the only two goals I had.

00:16:54
Speaker 1: Did you ever get her number?

00:16:56
Speaker 2: I did, but it was too late at that point because I had other numbers.

00:17:00
Speaker 1: Because you was popping. Because we're not commercial everybody, I don't care.

00:17:06
Speaker 2: Was I in these streets then he was outside? Yeah? So so yeah, I got a little busy. I was unavailable for I was like, yo, man, when I was just sitting around doing nothing. You ain't want to give me your phone number?

00:17:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, now look at all these.

00:17:26
Speaker 2: At sixteen sixteen.

00:17:27
Speaker 1: It was cracked with a little money in your pocket.

00:17:29
Speaker 2: Lottle money, way more than do you think.

00:17:31
Speaker 1: You had made it like I've arrived.

00:17:36
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah. But but this is what's crazy, and this might make some dudes uncomfortable, but I have to put this out here. We often have this conversation about men versus women. Man overly promiscuous sex and everything and everybody all day every day, and women active too, So I can't say just for men, but women will attack women for being overly promiscuous. Men we get love and props from going big partying all day every day, so I'll never forget. I had a conversation with Rev. Rev Run and he didn't come down on me. He wasn't being condescending, he wasn't like cracking the whip. He just said, he said, ty, let me ask you a question.

00:18:28
Speaker 6: So what.

00:18:31
Speaker 2: How many more?

00:18:34
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.

00:18:38
Speaker 2: Mmm, No, I'm just asking how many more?

00:18:46
Speaker 1: Like what's it gonna take?

00:18:47
Speaker 2: What's it? What's it gonna take? Well, you know, what is your what's the goal here? You've been at it for years, And first of all, I didn't have an answer that was the start of a problem.

00:19:00
Speaker 1: Is that right away at sixteen or you were older, this is year's.

00:19:02
Speaker 2: No, this is like, you know when I got on sixteen seventeen, because the place that I was functioning from I was broke. I was ugly, I was, you know, struggling. I was in the ghetto. Now all of a sudden, it's full on record deal, traveling, first class limousines picking me up from high school. Like literally I would get out of school and a limo was there waiting on me. Sweet Lady was on my first album. Lately, was on my first ALP. Like everything just went crazy. And so the place that I knew without even being aware of it, the place that I was functioning from, was you need to go big, because this shit is going to be over soon, like the Cinderella Slipper. You've been broke your whole life, food stamps, social Security check, wick vouchers, county checks, government cheese, living in the hood, and every level of dysfunction imaginable. My house mother, alcohol, father, crackhead. If you think for one second that this is going to last for longer than thirty seconds. You better go live your best life to the fucking fullest, because you have been broke and messed up and struggling for way longer than this lightning in the bottle situation you're experiencing right now.

00:20:29
Speaker 1: So you're trying to gather it all.

00:20:31
Speaker 2: Oh. Yes, So the place that most of us men function from is when you see a fifty year old in the club, he thinks is going to be over for him soon. So when Rev asked me that question and I didn't have an answer to it, that was the start of my journey. I got married first woman ever been with that I didn't cheat on, and I'm in a relationship now five years. We just celebrated never on her. I want to believe I have more access to women than most dudes right now to this day. But God removed that appetite from the realization how many more. So sometimes it just takes you to have those very specific conversation. And no men and no women want anybody to ever come down on them. They want to feel like they're being like beat down. But when somebody could just pose a question and you leave and you just like dangn.

00:21:37
Speaker 1: It shifts like you're wiring yes.

00:21:40
Speaker 2: Because now you can't justify it. You can't justify it like I could say to a woman, how many more shoes with the match in handbag? Like? How many more? And are you doing this because you love the shoe in the handbags? Are you out here still in competition with other women because you already you? Like I always say, a tall person don't have to play tall. You're already tall, You already great.

00:22:12
Speaker 1: A tree is a tree. A tree is a a tree. Don't be trying to be a treat. Just a treat.

00:22:17
Speaker 2: I mean you out here treeing? Use a tree in motherfucke. Yeah. So it's it's it's like every single day, literally, and we all have our own individual process. These starts are expensive, and I want to reach them all. I'm not losing sleep over nobody else's gifts, nobody else's talents. I function from a place of I'm so happy for you, and people ain't happy for you, but I'm so. I'm like the king of cheerleading for everybody that I love, I show up. I'm not a fairweather. I'm not gonna run when things get crazy and heavy. I'm there at three four am in the morning. I'll take six months of my life if needed, to put you in your marriage and your situation in a better place if I can. But I'm actually on this mission every single day to meet and be introduced to a better version of myself. Like that's all I want. I just want to bend the corner and be like, yo, I never met you. Everything about my life from this point on has to include you, because this version of me is way better than the person that I showed up as. And it's every day and I take conversations and I have my moments, and I'm in my bag and my zone. And then if we think, Angie for a second, of how many people we've lost. I know, right. So now there's a saying it's arrogant to believe the next second of life belongs to you. So if you think you got next week to get to it.

00:24:15
Speaker 1: Who's to say?

00:24:16
Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah, So there is a clock in my head and there's a sense of urgency on my life. Not that I think anything's going to happen to me, God forbid, I'm here for the full run.

00:24:27
Speaker 1: What the truth is, something is going to happen.

00:24:29
Speaker 2: To all of us at some point there is.

00:24:32
Speaker 3: A clock on every human being walking around. That's literally how this podcast was formed. You know this podcast before I called it in real life. The original name of this podcast was called We're All Going to Die.

00:24:41
Speaker 2: Oh, and we changed it.

00:24:43
Speaker 1: Because for a lot of reasons. This is a little heavy, tough, no, But.

00:24:48
Speaker 3: When we think, listen, if we wake up every day and remind ourselves that we are on the clock, it changes how you operate through the world.

00:24:55
Speaker 1: It changes what kind of conversations you want to have.

00:24:58
Speaker 3: It changes how you show up, how you present, like what really matters to you.

00:25:03
Speaker 1: And I wanted to have those conversations.

00:25:05
Speaker 3: So if the name was We're All going to Die, it's like, okay, we're all going to die and now what.

00:25:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you changed that title.

00:25:14
Speaker 1: I'm gonna want to be reminded of that every dingy.

00:25:16
Speaker 6: No.

00:25:16
Speaker 2: No, it's it's because there's life and death and the power of the tongue. This is about. This is not God's opinion.

00:25:22
Speaker 3: It is his, yeah, but power of the tongue. It's a fact that's we are all going to die.

00:25:28
Speaker 2: But if you speak to death every day and it's coming off of your tongue in any capacity. It's a bad thing. It's an energy that you're putting in the universe. We're all going to live. I don't think that we're all going to live. I think tragic.

00:25:42
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die.

00:25:43
Speaker 3: This is something else if you say negative things. But the fact that we are all going to die is actual fact.

00:25:48
Speaker 2: It is an actual fact. But we're all gonna die is energy that will contribute to a sooner expirational day. Fair enough, We're going to live.

00:25:58
Speaker 1: You see how you respond to it.

00:26:00
Speaker 3: There were a lot of people that responded that way, and that is the reason I changed the name. Yes, it's not so much what I feel, because I know the.

00:26:07
Speaker 1: Spirit of it.

00:26:09
Speaker 3: The spirit of it is so I have today, What do I want to do with it?

00:26:15
Speaker 7: You know?

00:26:15
Speaker 1: So the spirit of.

00:26:17
Speaker 3: How I release it and feel it is in a positive way.

00:26:20
Speaker 1: But I realize it doesn't land that way.

00:26:22
Speaker 2: I didn't want that for you.

00:26:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I changed it.

00:26:25
Speaker 2: I changed it. I said nothing about Angie Martinez and death or trauma or something dark that's going to happen. I didn't think of it as dark. Well, death is dark. It ain't light. Maybe maybe light happens when you supposedly go to heaven, yeah for sure. Yeah, but dark as death and it's sad. But the whole thing is, you know, get to it, you know, like get to it. Get to it. Like it's arrogant to believe the next second of life belonged to you. Get to it.

00:27:00
Speaker 1: What are you getting to right now?

00:27:01
Speaker 7: Oh?

00:27:02
Speaker 2: What am I not? These thoughts are expensive. I'm trying to unload all of them, like I got it's too much my brain, the visions, the dreams, the appetite. It's crazy, like like crazy.

00:27:19
Speaker 1: Do you want to change the world?

00:27:21
Speaker 2: That's just you know, yeah, it's crazy. Like I don't ever question anybody's success because they get to money, how they get to it. But I was like, it must be a miserable life to be worth thirty billion and you have no visions and ideas or joy or love or joy or love. You're just like that's what's in your account?

00:27:46
Speaker 1: What do you value most in life?

00:27:48
Speaker 2: Creativity? I'm addicted to creativity. I'm addicted to creativity.

00:27:53
Speaker 1: Like, oh I get that, I understand that.

00:27:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I really feel like whatever this building is, if somebody did not get the ideas around this building out, we'd be sitting on the floor right now. If somebody decided that the clothes you're wearing, the clothes that I'm wearing, the glasses she's wearing, anything that they came up with, we are the consumer unless y'all made these clothes yourself. We love this outfit, Let me buy this outfit. But if they had kept the vision and idea in their head, we'd be sitting there with no clothes. So everything is about implementing the vision and getting it out and stop letting the shit bounce around in your head like you got next week to get to it. Because if God put that on you, he could have sent the idea to somebody else. So the pressure that I put myself under to get ideas out is crazy. I just wish I had more money. I just need Listen to anybody I hear watch you're about to campaign for some cash the Angie Martinez Show. If you're watching this show and you just so happened to be a multi multi billionaire, yes, and you may have gotten to your money from TEG real estate, whatever the case may be, and you're just like, oh man, all I'm doing is running around buying the latest may By the latest Bugatti. Richard Neil Patique, Philip and I'm just I'm just spending money on random things. Call you boy, your life will never be the same.

00:29:32
Speaker 1: What is the first matter of business? If that check is written to you?

00:29:35
Speaker 2: Teddy Pendergras movie, hmm, I.

00:29:39
Speaker 1: Would love to see that movie.

00:29:42
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to see that movie the second that you started talking about that. It's you know, certain things just they fucking makes sense, and they're supposed to be in the universe. It's like Kelly Rowland playing Donna Summer.

00:29:58
Speaker 1: That's supposed to happen if it's on Broadway. I don't know. If it's a show, I don't know.

00:30:02
Speaker 3: If it's that's supposed to happen, yes, or Teresa's supposed to play Teddy Bendergrass.

00:30:07
Speaker 2: Or how about this what me and Taraji doing our own version of love Jones. Yes, the alpha male with a strong woman, funny, like a romantic comedy but romance and like.

00:30:26
Speaker 1: And you can't get these things funded.

00:30:29
Speaker 2: No, But after this show, it's gonna happen.

00:30:32
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen.

00:30:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna They're gonna call it Mona Scott Young is their name? Yes?

00:30:37
Speaker 1: Young. Also, if you happen to be here. I also have a few ideas.

00:30:44
Speaker 2: Since we're talking about since we're talking about we ain't got til next week to get to it.

00:30:49
Speaker 1: I have a few ideas fall in.

00:30:53
Speaker 2: Us at the yellow table.

00:30:58
Speaker 3: And you know what, you know, it's so interesting about this, you know, it's so interesting about this theme is I'm turning a corner and my kind of understanding about money we just had em agreed on and she was giving me shit because I was saying, for a long time in my career, I didn't put money at the center because I was always taught, you know, not all money is good money, or you do what you love and the money will come. You know, I just had a lot of false ideas about money, and I didn't value it in a way that I should have because I am not moved by it personally, right, I don't need it. I don't need the bag, I don't need the shoes. I'm not even like a material girl. I like nice shit, but I'm not pressed about material things.

00:31:35
Speaker 2: But such a careful one.

00:31:37
Speaker 3: But the power in it, the power to tell people's stories, the power of our gifts as creatives to be able to get them out into the world. That requires money, and I now understand that, and I now understand the importance of those gifts that we have, and so yeah, so I'm gonna ask for more money for everything that I do now.

00:31:58
Speaker 1: For those reasons.

00:32:00
Speaker 2: Here's my saying.

00:32:02
Speaker 1: So funny to hear you like.

00:32:04
Speaker 2: I'm right there, I'm right there with you, my saying which sounds very similar to yours. Maybe it's a Capricorn thing. But I don't respect money, right, I don't respect money. I know that you it takes a lot of time and energy and grind and hustling work. I know that most of what we do every day we can't get done without money. And I also understand the value and some of the most beautiful and precious moments in life that don't cost a thing. Right, sitting on a bench with a loaf of bread with your girlfriend they're feeding swans or ducks or pigeons and smiling and laughing, sitting at the lake. Is that that the high of all highs? And how much that that beautiful moment costs you? Not much? But when I said on respect money, it's from the capacity of these ideas, and I mean it's literally, Angie, these ideas will stay in my brain. If I don't have money that could help me to get them out, this would be a very different place if I was sitting on that type of capital. And I don't have no ill will and bad intentions with any of this that I'm doing.

00:33:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're gonna give it a thousand.

00:33:32
Speaker 2: I don't know. There is no other version of me that knows how to do it other ice lights.

00:33:36
Speaker 3: This might be a selfish thing right now, but take me through what you as Teddy Pendergrass sounds like, feels like, looks like. And I only say this because I am obsessed with Teddy Pendergrass.

00:33:54
Speaker 7: I don't feel like being lonely tonight. You see you see I want some compunea and you look like you're just my time. You're the kind you're the kind of spirits are running freez.

00:34:16
Speaker 8: Let's take a sip of some cold, cold wine and dance to the music nice and slow, and you won't feel any kind of pression.

00:34:30
Speaker 1: We'll just let we'll just let me in the flow.

00:34:36
Speaker 2: Come on and go with me. Wouldn't like that things come on over the mine?

00:34:43
Speaker 1: Please?

00:34:45
Speaker 2: I mhm. Lee Daniels has to direct.

00:34:58
Speaker 3: Oh my, you know that when I was saying, there's certain things that are just supposed to be in the world.

00:35:09
Speaker 2: My god, diarrees, I'm not going to stop until it's done.

00:35:15
Speaker 1: Let's take it all the way though. That's what it sounds like. But what is this?

00:35:22
Speaker 3: What is because I'm a fan of his and his story, what is the spirit of it?

00:35:28
Speaker 2: Like?

00:35:28
Speaker 1: What is he? What is he telling the world in this project?

00:35:34
Speaker 2: He gave me an assignment. I was one of the Paul Barros' funeral carrying his casket. I know and love his wife, Joan Pendergrass. We spent about at least seven years prior to him passing, and he said, you know, no, he's sitting in his chair. I'm not mimicking, but I just want to show y'all. This was the dynamic of our conversation. He's got a very raspy voice, kind of like shine when he talks. You don't nobody could play me in this movie.

00:36:18
Speaker 6: But you you know why, because everybody's running around here trying to sound like me, sing like.

00:36:37
Speaker 2: You're the only one.

00:36:39
Speaker 6: Who really can act, really could sing, and you haven't been trying to mimic me in my sound.

00:36:51
Speaker 2: That's why you're the one. You're my son.

00:36:56
Speaker 6: Although I have a son, I consider you a son. That's why you're gonna play me in a movie.

00:37:05
Speaker 2: You hear that Jon to his wife, I hear you, honey, can you give me some water? But it was like wow, just seeing his neck and just kind of how he could. It's only so much movement and just everything that I was able to study. I can't wait.

00:37:36
Speaker 3: You know what else is to his interesting is that he had his own vices and demons and issues with women. And how you were talking about the sixteen year old version of yourself and red of telling you how many.

00:37:48
Speaker 2: How many more? He you know, he lived his best life to the fuck. But see that's what I'm saying. It's that appetite I do not. I can't speak for everybody, but I don't believe most people body count would be what it is if they actually knew that the money or what makes them suddenly attractive or this, and that it ain't going nowhere? Like what excuse do I have now after thirty is they still screamed for me? I'm still selling out arenas, I'm still doing the biggest movies in the world. I still live in a twenty five thousand square foot mansion with Rose Royces, my kids are still having it's still here, so functioning from a place that it's all going to go away soon had to get off of me. So now, okay, let me be more specific here, because I really want people to get this. Sometime when you unexpectedly get blessed, your life feels like a rental car, and if it's a rental car and you in a limo for the prim or you in a rental car and it's nice, you're treating it like shit because you know it's gonna go away, or just in general, this high that I'm feeling from this really nice car doesn't belong to me, and at some point I gotta give it back. So you're gonna go maximum extreme level of whatever it is you're doing in that moment, because you know at some point you're going to give the Cinderella slipper back. At some point you're going to be a frog again. At some point the swan is going to become a pigeon again and just go back to being regular. So while I have it, I'm gonna go big. But what excuse can you come up with now for steel clubbing? Steal Audient still spending on the level that you're spending on still seeking validation, like when is the last time you hold is a big one?

00:40:11
Speaker 6: He's a big one.

00:40:12
Speaker 2: When is the last time you were alone? And why did that make you so uncomfortable? Because you need people around you all day, every day, stroking your ego, complimenting you, validating you. Oh so it so so. Basically, you got people around you to feel like if you don't give at least ten compliments a day, you might be out of a job. I spend so much time alone, and at this point it's something I prefer because people are distractions. These thoughts are expensive, and I want to reach them all, which is why you should call me at one eight hundred.

00:40:56
Speaker 1: Si Tyre says, one hundred tyres.

00:41:00
Speaker 9: Romantic comedy opening up in my own movie studio, which is on the scale of a Universal studios, hotels, restaurants, retail tourism.

00:41:12
Speaker 2: Developing whole islands in the Caribbean Island. You know, like, I'm going big, Like this ain't got nothing to do with me announcing that I'm releasing a hoodie. Who gives a fuck about a hoodie? We didn't seen too many of them, Okay, what happened? You have I know, because it's just what I prefer to wear under this jacket. But it ain't my hoodie. Yeah, it's super big, and it's I get frustrated with God sometimes because I'm like, God, why do you keep because Angie, these ideas are so big and they're so detailed, and they're so specific, And I'm like, God, since you're such a specific God, when are you going to special cifically let me do these things that are bouncing around in my.

00:42:03
Speaker 1: Head that you fed me.

00:42:06
Speaker 3: It's so clear, you know why, because it's God's timing, it's not yours.

00:42:10
Speaker 1: You just gotta keep submitting.

00:42:13
Speaker 2: But you're doing the right thing. I just think God has a way of I think God has a way, and this is my experience. I think God has a way of just wanting to make sure that you know that he did it. Because if it was about your handsome, your talent, your calls, you'll hustle, you'll follow up lunches and dinners and courting and nurturing the relationships and make it. You stell like, well, damn, when is something gonna happen? It all feels right, It all went right, that the stars aligned and everything feels good. I like all these people. The money is there, when what is it? Faith in the unseen?

00:43:01
Speaker 1: I have to go back to something really.

00:43:02
Speaker 2: Okay, you're so good, Terras.

00:43:04
Speaker 1: We can have a four there's gonna be a four hour episode.

00:43:08
Speaker 3: Because something you said I thought was interesting and I thought you were going one way and you went somewhere else. But when you were talking about a rental car, because you had also talked about women and vices and all that stuff, I think that translates beyond money, beyond you like your situation and lifestyle.

00:43:27
Speaker 1: When you think about men.

00:43:30
Speaker 3: Who you were referring to, like men being in different with different women, trying to find there's something that happens with men where if they're with the women that they don't feel like they deserve, she's going to leave me at some point.

00:43:45
Speaker 1: Anyway.

00:43:48
Speaker 3: I feel like they go out and almost ruin their home. I've seen this with people that I know that I'm married, and I think maybe women do it too. It's almost like an imposter syndrome, Like how you were saying, you feel like life is rental, is rented, so you start ruining it self, sabotaged.

00:44:06
Speaker 1: It's self, sabotage.

00:44:07
Speaker 3: I think when you don't value yourself in that way, or you don't think you're worthy of whatever the blessings is, whatever the gifts are, that you just kind of fuck it up. Yeah, and I don't even think people realize they're doing it.

00:44:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't. But it's also a habit that they've learned. They've seen their mom and dad fuck up everything, right, So it's a go to. Yeah, for sure, it's a pattern, it's a habit, it's a learned behavior. We all have baggage. But who's going to love you enough to stand you to help you unpack it? Right? If you pull it up with ten bags physical bags and I pulled up with ten bags. We both got bags. But when you start unzipping them and you show me what's in each bag, your story has nothing to do with minds. But who's going to love you enough to say go through those bags? Because you get over the external, you could have some of the best sexual chemistry ever, and that'll be a reason to hold on for a little while. You can love the conversation. You can get deep. You know, we could talk about deep stuff. You know, it could be a lot of different reasons that you think that this is the one. But at the end of the day, you still are in a relationship with somebody that have a lot of things that are attached to them. So can we talk about it? Can we be transparent about it? And for those things that I can help you through, I'm going to love you through it all. And then there's some things that's way beyond my pay grade. Right in this case, I'm like, Babe, I love you, but I got alligator arms, and I ain't gonna be able to reach into these topics and reach into these issues or reach into these areas of your life to help you to figure out what's going on there. So now I got to put you in front of a therapist, a real professional that could really unpack that, because rather you're with me or not, it's still there. You can run from here to Australia. You're taking your problems with you. You got to unpack it. And so, yeah, it's some of us. Some of us could really function relationship wise on the surface and do just fine. Really eventually, No, some people, some people can literally.

00:46:32
Speaker 1: Function do anything on the surface.

00:46:34
Speaker 3: I feel like everything I can, I feel like everything you do from your from relationships to your career. So these big ideas, the frustration of not being able to bring them to fruitions, Like you feel everything so intensely, it's so real.

00:46:50
Speaker 1: But how do you manage that? Because that could also make it crazy?

00:46:55
Speaker 2: Well, I am crazy. You have to be crazy to even bel leave that it's going to happen, right, So imagine this.

00:47:09
Speaker 1: We shouldn't say crazy.

00:47:10
Speaker 2: I feel like, no, no, no, Crazy is a good thing, right. Crazy is only bad in the wrong hands. Money is a good thing. It's only bad when money ends up in the wrong hands. Money is the root of all evil. I disagree. Money ain't never been evil in my hands. I've never used my money to harm or hurt anybody. You put money in my hands, everybody's life is better. Everything is better, The experience is better. I tell niggas all the time. I love your yacht, but your yacht would be better if I was invited on it. Like this is this must be so fucking bod y'all must be so bored on this fucking yacht. If you want to have fun on this big ass one hundred and eighty million dollars whatever this is.

00:48:00
Speaker 1: I'm your guy.

00:48:01
Speaker 2: I'm your guy. That's it. It's almost like how we feel about Kenny Burns are just people that just naturally got good energy, you know what I'm saying. Like it's it's it's like, yeah, love KB right, Like it's like there's certain people that just got that energy about them that they make every room they walk into better. So, prior to Kenny Burns showing up to your boat, y'all was on this motherfucker just sweepies everybody's sleep, just like God, did y'all mind just handing out tiling all pm. This is the most boringing bucket and we already out here on the ocean, and the ocean is supposed to put us to sleep. But can we have some fun?

00:48:42
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just think you do you do value joy?

00:48:45
Speaker 2: Right, I'm the life of the party. We're gonna have fun. But nobody gets hurt at the end of my parties. You know, it's no there's no ill will and no bad intentions, you know. So I just think, who else but me to become the multi multi billionaire that's going to get these developments and these projects and these things off the ground.

00:49:11
Speaker 3: I think you should go on a promo tour like a fundraising promo tour.

00:49:17
Speaker 2: I like it.

00:49:18
Speaker 1: Do you see where I'm going with this?

00:49:19
Speaker 2: Yes?

00:49:20
Speaker 3: Because I think what you just the gift that you just gave us of this little glimpse into Teddy's story. If you just keep lighting that spark, like wherever you go, how could anybody stop that. I'm not saying to give away everything for free. Maybe it's little pieces of things or just it. Just keep keep sharing the gift that you keep referencing in whatever way it shows up for you on that day. But intentionally it's bounces. You don't think yes, yes, yes, but being intentional about.

00:49:58
Speaker 2: That yes, very and never letting up yeah, and never questioning God, just getting mad, get irritated. We're human God, Like, what's God?

00:50:06
Speaker 1: What are we doing?

00:50:09
Speaker 4: What?

00:50:10
Speaker 3: Dida Theana was on the show and she said sometimes I'd be like God, like for really that real with God?

00:50:16
Speaker 1: Like why do you you know?

00:50:18
Speaker 3: Because she I mean, she just had this glory moment, this glory year, but before there was times was she like you.

00:50:25
Speaker 1: Big creative ideas creative.

00:50:27
Speaker 3: All the time, she a this was that and she's like why didn't any of these things working on she.

00:50:33
Speaker 1: Record deals or whatever. So she's had those. She's like, I have to have a real one with God and then I have to pull myself down.

00:50:39
Speaker 2: Well, you know what it comes down to for me. And if Tiana sees this message, that's my sister. I love her. I was just with her at the Black Woman in Hollywood event in LA We have such a great, beautiful exchange of conversation. Listen, people that went Oscar, it's like the kiss of death. They disappear if they win. When you're nominated, you book way more movies than you do when you win. I don't know what the fuck it is. It's YouTube videos all over the Internet of what happens when you win.

00:51:17
Speaker 1: An Oscar, versus nominated.

00:51:20
Speaker 2: Versus nominated. And so if I could say to Tiana the nomination, you're on fire, something about something about what people start overthinking and overvaluing the talent when they win the Oscar. You know, there's not a project that's good enough for an Oscar Award winner. It's just all this stuff that happens. Nominated is a different level. And what she was able to do was all about her. People have never heard of her until they heard of her. That's crazy, by the way, And all of she's been at. But but here's the thing, you gotta we gotta think, right, we all live in a in a in our own matrix. Who doesn't know Tianna Taylor? Everybody. There's a whole lot of people never heard of her day in their life ever, Nothing about anything she's ever did, said, song she sung has ever fell on their radar until now. And when they met her, she's now a seasoned, veteran legend, beautiful showing up with outfits killing every red car. And so you'd like, who the fuck God? Who the fuck is distance? You know what I mean? And so now seen it, but we've all of it.

00:52:47
Speaker 1: They're showing up as she's showing up as a new person to them.

00:52:50
Speaker 2: There's a wild factor that's attached to a brand new thing that we never seen or heard of ever until now. And that is the moment.

00:53:02
Speaker 1: That's the magic.

00:53:03
Speaker 2: That is the magic of what God is about to do. Everything else was what you were supposed to see, feel, experience and go through prior to your moment. You thought those were moments. No, those were moments leading up to the moment. Now, if you you want to make God live, tell them your plans. Oh yeah, Wait, wait, I cannot wait to see all that that this that that Tiana is about to do. Can't wait, can't wait.

00:53:33
Speaker 1: Sure you got a few projects you could probably attach her to.

00:53:36
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, ready with the proper funding, proper funding. Yeah. I want to also share so proudly that of all of the radio shows I've been approached about podcast reality TV shows, because my life is interesting, it's some funny ship, it's a lot that all cameras is rolling, a lot going on. So I came up with this random idea, Angie random. I have Tyresepatreon dot com. And instead of me doing a podcast or doing anything that you're supposed to do, I guess because these are these usual things, I decided I'm sitting on thirty years of videos that's been on my hard drives, with projects ideas that have never gotten off the ground, ran around pitching visions and ideas. Fully shot music videos has never been released because the edit just didn't turn out right. And we went to the window behind the scenes of Sweet Lady Lately, my song Shamee with Jennifer Hudson and Denzel Washington produced. I got so much con terrabites and terrabytes full of things that nobody has ever seen. And I think, I think I'm uncomfortable because I've already uploaded too much ship and this is all gonna live on the paper. It's all on my Patreon.

00:55:14
Speaker 1: So what is what is it going to cost?

00:55:15
Speaker 2: Us? Give me the cost for you for free?

00:55:20
Speaker 1: No, No, I want to be I want to be a patron.

00:55:23
Speaker 2: Ok, I want to be a thing.

00:55:26
Speaker 1: What is what is the fee?

00:55:29
Speaker 3: There's four different I'm going to watch how this goes for you, Tyrese, because I too have thirty years of I have thirty years of content, some of that's never.

00:55:37
Speaker 1: Been heard of before.

00:55:38
Speaker 3: And I've also often thought about this, this route that you're taking. So I'm gonna watch how it plays out for you, and maybe I'll follow your leader.

00:55:47
Speaker 2: You should, Okay, you should? Okay? Good and Tyresepatreon dot com. And what we just uploaded, it's about an hour and twenty minutes long, is all of the fuckery and all the craziness that went down for this versus thing. Lead with me in tank and I had the cameras rolling. I was like, I was like, Okay, I'm not the competitive dude he is. We both capricorns but he's the other version of Capricorn. I'm like, bron you know again, we all just get along. Coom by your white flags. Who you guy coming out? Oh yeah he was. Oh he wanted to come out and kill me. He has seventeen people come out on stage during the verses. I had one. He tried to steal my background singer. You know, he had the sound man to mess up my sound on purpose. It was shady. So on Saturday at the Ubs Arena, and because of you, I might throw a Teddy Pitnograss song in.

00:56:51
Speaker 1: But what's that? Which was that? M com.

00:57:36
Speaker 2: Yes, keep playing the seats, keep chipping away at it, and it's going to I believe it.

00:57:44

Speaker 2: The best shit ever, or it's gonna be like, oh oh this ship, that ship that's that didn't lot Land Well.

00:58:09
Speaker 1: I love that we had this conversation today.

00:58:11
Speaker 3: I see your passion and your vision, and I think I hope it inspires people not for their own lives and for their own because we all have, say where you have, all of that, we all have I have stuff.

00:58:21
Speaker 1: Bottled up that you know, all these things always stop us.

00:58:24
Speaker 3: But I always think there's a if you really lock ins is always a way. So I still hope people inspired by that today, and we'll support you on injurant.

Speaker 2: You gotta be unapologetic about getting these visions and dreams out, unapologetic. Loyalty has an expiration date. When God gives you visions and ideas and you don't move on them in any capacity, He's gonna give it to somebody else. How many times? How many more times you gonna shit at the house and go yo, I can't decided. You remember I was just telling you about this idea, Like, what was that two years? Yeah? You ain't doing nothing with it. Yeah, so God said, this idea has to reach the world. You playing games, coming up with all of these reasons, you know, my brand and my image and the timing and all the goofy shit, okay or out self doubt, insecurity, spear of the unknown. I've never done it before, you know, blah blah blah. They said, Man, here's the problem. The problem is if it ended tomorrow, since we're talking about death, right, if it ended tomorrow, what have we actually done to leave something for our children? What have we done? Will they Will they be okay for six months? Will they be okay for a year? What have we done? And most of us selfishly are just thinking about what we're doing today. All the kids is good, I'm good. But if anything were to happen, did you set the family up for success? Did you set them up for sustainability? Well, they be able to stay afloat and in most cases no, So if people don't think if you think I'm about to get on stage and just be on stage getting screened for and that's my high. No, No, it's not. Oh, oh oh, Deadline Hollywood reporter Tyree just got casted in another movie. You mean movie number forty. That's a high for me. No, The new highs that I own the studio and that we have a film slate and a budget, and we have TV series and projects and movies, writers, directors, editors, cinematographers. We have created our own ism and what we have never existed before, now it's coming. Praise God.

01:00:54
Speaker 3: I have a couple of real quick speed round in real life questions, and then I have a voice. Oh okay, in real life? What are you most proud of about yourself?

01:01:07
Speaker 2: I am proud that God has used me to represent what's possible.

01:01:17
Speaker 1: In real life. What are you no longer apologizing for?

01:01:22
Speaker 2: I'm not apologized for being late. Shit, they have tired. It's traffic something, some some cause of delay. What me.

01:01:43
Speaker 1: In real life? I'm at my best.

01:01:44
Speaker 2: When in real life, I'm at my best when I'm alone. Really m hmmm h everything that I'm thinking of and creating in my mind when I'm alone. These starts are expensive, and when I'm able to reach them all everyone is going to be on the receiving end of this stuff that I was able to think about from spending time alone.

01:02:11
Speaker 1: What is something that you have forgiven yourself for have? Yeah?

01:02:18
Speaker 2: I have forgiven myself for the things that I didn't know or understand. I used to beat myself up when I would say things, do things, make a mistake, piss people off, drop the ball. And I've just learned to forgive myself, give myself grace because if I was raised by Gladys Knight, if Anita Baker was my mother, a whole lot of decisions about what I was doing in the business would have been different. If an NBA player raises a young NBA soon to be player, he's got the whole blueprint of what to do and what not to do because he was raised used by a champion. I'm an alien, I'm one of one, and I'm by myself. I've been winging it out here my whole life. And when I would make mistakes, because the whole world is watching me grow up from the little kid right before their eyes, I would always beat myself up, like why did I say that? Oh? Why did I do that? I'll tell you why you said it and did it? Because your mama wasn't glad as Night. You didn't have a Mona scot young in your life that can sit you down and say this is what's around the corner before they get there. So I had to give myself grace and stop beating myself up the things that I've said and done that was embarrassing, that went viral, and this and that that. It's like you're looking at a duck. I'm sorry, a swan and all of the stuff that I've either said and done and mistakes that I've made at embarrassing myself, it's like water rolling off a duck back. It doesn't penetrate me no more. It just rolls off. And that's a place that you had to get to. Now, let's stop going to sleep with your mistakes.

Speaker 5: I love your videos of you and your daughter Sheila and between you on the road and Shaila being a teenager. What are some ways that you really lock in with her and really take the time to really have that daddy daughter a time.

01:05:35
Speaker 1: That's a good question.

01:05:37
Speaker 3: The girls daughters, Brittany is the poster child for spoiled kind of daddy's girl she loves.

01:05:53
Speaker 1: Is that a real thing?

01:05:54
Speaker 2: I might as well answer my question with my hat off.

01:05:57
Speaker 1: Are you one of them? Are you one of those?

01:05:59
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, let me answer this question with my hat off. Well, at this point, as a father, I'm more concerned about what my daughter don't know. Men boys, business life people will take advantage of what you don't know. So she's eighteen now, she's turning nineteen July eleventh. She's decided to go to college in Atlanta. I've been living there now for nine years, even though I was born and raised in La So now I have the fullness of my firstborn with me, and the most significant Black city you could ever live in, politically, business wise, oportreneurs, just all of it. And so I am so proud of the level of self discovery that my daughter is about to experience in Atlantic super close. Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm her go to ready to shoot, stab and kill. I just purchased my first ever shotgun, like an actual shotgun, like for real shotgun. So whoever you are, whatever, the lip gloss is cracking and you see my daughter, Oh man, I will use the shotgun. Yeah. Well that's why Sheila. She went viral from that. She's got a clothing line coming out, she does, Yeah.

01:07:56
Speaker 1: How is that?

01:07:57
Speaker 6: Have that?

01:07:57
Speaker 1: Then have one loaded question. We're going to do a bowl and wrap. How does that? I don't know.

01:08:04
Speaker 3: How do you manage that when something real is happening to you, emotional, heartbreaking, or in your l the most vulnerable state, and it becomes something that people it's a meme.

01:08:19
Speaker 2: Oh, it's it's the it's the swan and the water rolling off the back thing. I was on psych mads when I uploaded that video. It was on the internet for six months before the psych meds were completely out of my system. So yeah, people have fun. They never seen me like that. I'd never seen me like that when I was when I finally got in my regular headspace, I looked at the video and I was like, oh shit, wow. And then fast forward because God loves me? Why does God love me so much? The most vulnerable moment of my life about my daughter, and he flips hashtag mice shala into something endearing. So people don't say, what's good, my dad? They go my shala And it's the way girls are hugging each other. It's the way people are greeting each other. Nobody in the world could have told me that's something that was so vulnerable. Fast forward with flipping too something. So now when my daughter goes places and I'd be like, yeah, this is my daughter Sheila. Wait wait, are you the shala? My shala? Me and my friend do it? If we like my shit, you're the real Shala. It's the craziest thing. It is literally like God has a sense of humor. They flip that one.

01:09:51
Speaker 1: Does anybody ever sent you that meme?

01:09:53
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I see it all online. Yeah, all the time I've been living with the what more do you want from me and my shale? I've been living with that now. That was at video ten, twelve years old now, so yeah, for it to flip into something all over TikTok and be this positive, it just goes to show you, like God loves me so much. It's like this is now my daughter's running around as a standalone Shila, and it's like the most beautiful thing ever.

01:10:25
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do when she's in a relationship or later in life she gets married and her husband and her boyfriend calls her my Shaila.

01:10:41
Speaker 2: Well, that's a different my Shla. I'm gonna tell him she will always be my Shala. But y'all married. Then I got a shotgun.

01:10:55
Speaker 1: In case this gets crazy.

01:10:58
Speaker 2: There's some boundaries in place that we all understand. Y'all have a good time test it. Hey, guys.

01:11:58
Speaker 3: I'm really hoping you get the question I want to because if you don't, I'm going to give you the question. We may edit it, but you see, I'm going to look for the one that I want to ask you for the close out of the interview.

01:12:08
Speaker 1: Unless that's it, what is it?

01:12:12
Speaker 2: When I walk in around? I want people to feel m they've met a really nice person. I want them to feel like I created who I thought he would be in my mind, and I'm just so shocked that he was kind of like nothing that I imagine that he would be. And then I want someone who did not plan on spending ten billion that week to say, Tyresee has got a lot of visions and ideas.

01:12:54
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him my money.

01:12:56
Speaker 2: I'm going to give him my money because we was about to and a lot of money on a whole lot of bullshit that didn't matter. It did not matter at all.

01:13:05
Speaker 1: Great answer that killed the ball.

01:13:08
Speaker 3: There's one there's one question out of the ball that you must.

01:13:13
Speaker 1: Have before you go.

01:13:14
Speaker 2: I would love it.

01:13:15
Speaker 1: Okay, this is my one for you.

01:13:17
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go. If God were to text me right now, what would he say? Mm hmmm mm hmm mm hmmm. I would hope that he would say, thank you for reminding people about me. Everywhere you go. Every Bible verse said I post. When I say to people, don't ever give me credit for what I've survived and what I've been through. I give all the credit to the Lord Jesus Christ, who loves me so much, because when you can't explain it, when you tried everything to do it or get through it and pulled through it, and you know that only God did that. He just don't ever want you to take credit for what He is there orchestrating the entire time. God is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the beginning, the middle, the end. He is all of it. And I've almost prided myself on making sure that I don't do anything without bringing Jesus into the conversation. And there are people that found saying I love Tyres, I look up to him. I respect him so much. Man, I don't know if I'll ever got through that. Wow, I got through it. And God is the reason that I got through it, Because while I was getting through it, I couldn't even believe I was getting through it myself. I thought it was over. I thought it was a rap. I thought that was a career killer. I thought it was a good run. And God said no, that was a setback for a setup. God is God is the sling shot stick in the hand, the rubber band at the top, and you're the pebble. And and before now, if he were to, if he didn't love you, he would do this, let the rubber band go, and then you would fall right on the table. When God really loves you, he's gonna deplete you, stretch you, create levels of discomfort. He's going to pull you all the way back, and you're the rock. And then you like, oh, look at the rubber band is stretching all the way back. He's pulling you all the way back, because the moment he let that rubber band go, he's gonna thrust you into a whole nother level. So far you're not even gonna people ain't gonna be able to see the rock. Where did it go? That's the type of love you want. So God, whatever your process is, whatever public shaming and bearss, whatever mistakes I've made. First of all, I didn't know I was gonna make it this far in my life and my career. I had no idea I would still matter in any capacity after a thirty second commercial, who do you think you are? You think you're sitting around with some type of crystal ball or something, and enough handsome and enough talent, ain't enough singing, ain't enough movie roles that can get you on and keep you on this long. God loves you and He has all of this in mind for you. So just love yourself enough to show up every day and do the best you can with all of the things that God has in mind for you. That's what my text would say. That is a long text. Oh yeah, My text is are normally pretty long. So God knows me. It's like you be sending them along and I'm gonna send you one too. God really really, yeah, that's what's it's that's it.

01:17:44
Speaker 1: But the moral of his text is keep saying his name.

01:17:48
Speaker 2: Keep everywhere you go. I need, I need to listen. If you ain't God God on you, you should assume that when you walk in the room, God wasn't there before you showed up. Speak on it, talk about it. Sit there, you know I went through something like that before. Talk about it, talk about a transition into what God got you through. Talk about it. Because the word is not his opinion, it's the word of God. So if it's the word, it's not up for discussion. He got you, He got you, He loves you. He loves you.

01:18:28
Speaker 3: He loves Tyrese in real life.

01:18:36
Speaker 2: What up, y'all? Ship man Tyrese in real life.
