08:16.890 --> 08:29.845
[SPEAKER_04]: I know kids nowadays, they like to play inside with the tablets and with the electronics and technology, but when I was going outside, when I was a kid, going outside was the big thing.

[SPEAKER_04]: Right?
08:31.186 --> 08:36.633

[SPEAKER_04]: going outside and playing as a kid was the thing to do.
09:20.864 --> 09:22.105
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what you did as a kid.
09:22.525 --> 09:31.491
[SPEAKER_04]: You would go outside and you play, stay outside all day, wrestling, you know, in the grass of, and then I would come back.
09:33.132 --> 09:39.516
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd come back to the house with coming from head toe with dirt.
09:43.303 --> 09:43.683
[SPEAKER_04]: over me.
09:44.143 --> 09:44.904
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm sorry.
09:46.064 --> 09:49.166
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I, the way I looked at it was like this.
09:49.566 --> 09:56.509
[SPEAKER_04]: Heck, I figured if I didn't get dirty, I wasn't really playing.
09:58.610 --> 10:04.613
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I didn't, if I didn't get dirty, then I really wasn't playing.
10:04.713 --> 10:05.513
[SPEAKER_04]: I looked at it this way.
10:05.533 --> 10:07.054
[SPEAKER_04]: If you didn't get dirty, you won't
10:13.258 --> 10:16.241
[SPEAKER_03]: If you didn't get dirty, what's the whole point?
10:16.521 --> 10:23.588
[SPEAKER_03]: The whole point was going out and doing your thing is a kid, being a kid.
10:24.189 --> 10:26.972
[SPEAKER_03]: So I figured, hey, didn't get dirty.
10:28.516 --> 10:29.517
[SPEAKER_04]: I wasn't really trying.
10:30.257 --> 10:32.158
[SPEAKER_04]: I wasn't really being a kid, you know?
10:33.259 --> 10:36.961
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's the system that's the system to get as a kid growing up.
10:37.381 --> 10:39.802
[SPEAKER_04]: Just bigger, you didn't get in there, man.
10:40.283 --> 10:41.243
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you weren't trying.
10:41.964 --> 10:42.944
[SPEAKER_04]: And I get it, man.
10:43.124 --> 10:45.326
[SPEAKER_04]: New shoes, new pants.
10:46.046 --> 10:46.966
[SPEAKER_04]: It didn't matter to me.
10:47.627 --> 10:48.027
[SPEAKER_04]: It didn't.
10:48.727 --> 10:56.692
[SPEAKER_04]: And, well, I had, just got some new shoes going new pants, church shoes, church pants, it didn't matter to me.
10:59.031 --> 11:05.154
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think about it as a kid playing outside and in the grass and stuff like that.
11:06.454 --> 11:18.919
[SPEAKER_03]: And I always hands down, I always seem to get in trouble for getting the wrong things dirty.
11:21.200 --> 11:21.500
[SPEAKER_03]: I did.
11:22.021 --> 11:25.342
[SPEAKER_03]: I always seem to get in trouble.
11:27.022 --> 11:31.144
[SPEAKER_03]: forgetting the wrong things dirty.
11:33.645 --> 11:33.925
[SPEAKER_03]: I did.
11:34.485 --> 11:37.586
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, I think about that.
11:39.187 --> 11:42.628
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think about the wrong things.
11:46.110 --> 11:51.832
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of us are grown now and we still,
11:53.046 --> 11:55.568
[SPEAKER_04]: might be doing the same things that I was doing as a kid.
11:55.868 --> 12:02.174
[SPEAKER_04]: We might be still doing it, getting the wrong things dirty.
12:03.495 --> 12:06.497
[SPEAKER_03]: Only the wrong things look different now.
12:08.459 --> 12:13.904
[SPEAKER_03]: Our name, our careers, our credit scoreists.
12:14.684 --> 12:21.270
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us were 13 and were still apologizing
12:22.487 --> 12:24.028
[SPEAKER_04]: for our mistake that we made.
12:24.568 --> 12:43.596
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us were 18 and maybe we skipped classes and we skipped school trying to fit in with everybody else or trying to fit in with a certain group, trying to fit in with some of our friends, trying to fit in with people.
12:45.297 --> 12:48.959
[SPEAKER_04]: And now our parents don't trust us.
12:50.505 --> 12:55.788
[SPEAKER_04]: or our parents still remind us of things we did when we were 13.
12:56.769 --> 12:59.570
[SPEAKER_04]: Their reminders of the time that we snuck out the house.
12:59.970 --> 13:02.912
[SPEAKER_04]: They still talk about it at the family union.
13:03.192 --> 13:05.854
[SPEAKER_04]: They still talk about it during the holiday times.
13:08.435 --> 13:10.757
[SPEAKER_02]: And how it, they just don't trust us about it.
13:13.658 --> 13:16.300
[SPEAKER_02]: Because we are still,
13:19.926 --> 13:23.527
[SPEAKER_03]: I think about it because we all start out good, right?
13:24.127 --> 13:35.910
[SPEAKER_04]: We all start out good, new shoes, new job, new relationship, we're just happy to have it.
13:37.430 --> 13:46.332
[SPEAKER_03]: And somewhere along the way, something told us that we are the mistake
13:48.242 --> 14:08.330
[SPEAKER_03]: That we always mess it up, something somewhere along the way, something told us that we're the mistake that we always mess it up.
14:17.237 --> 14:23.959
[SPEAKER_04]: We always mess it up and we always mess it up at the wrong time.
14:24.939 --> 14:27.920
[SPEAKER_04]: Always mess up the good opportunity.
14:28.520 --> 14:32.742
[SPEAKER_04]: Always mess up the one relationship that mattered.
14:34.642 --> 14:44.665
[SPEAKER_03]: Is there anyone that has ever felt like something good?
14:46.470 --> 14:49.793
[SPEAKER_03]: It's always being messed up.
14:51.854 --> 15:04.865
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't wanna know, I want to talk to the people right now who feel like something is always being messed up at the wrong time.
15:06.526 --> 15:09.008
[SPEAKER_03]: I would go outside, man, and I would play.
15:10.850 --> 15:14.393
[SPEAKER_03]: And some of us were adults now, were grown.
15:15.943 --> 15:26.773
[SPEAKER_04]: And some of us, we feel like we're something is always being messed up at the wrong time.
15:26.873 --> 15:32.719
[SPEAKER_04]: I wanna talk to those people right now who feel like something,
15:34.141 --> 15:39.146

[SPEAKER_04]: Our names, our careers, our jobs, our opportunities, the relationships, the friendships.
15:47.032 --> 15:55.700

[SPEAKER_03]: For years, I've always felt that there was something that's going to get messed up.
16:39.501 --> 16:40.201
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got to mess it up.
16:42.142 --> 16:51.365
[SPEAKER_03]: Something that's always getting messed up at the wrong time.
16:51.405 --> 16:55.387
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to invite those people into the room
16:57.239 --> 17:00.701
[SPEAKER_04]: You've had a good opportunity to something happen.
17:00.721 --> 17:06.084
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, remember, man, I told you, I just like going outside and playing.
17:06.504 --> 17:11.426
[SPEAKER_04]: And when I used to go outside and play, I would bring my, of course, bring my toys outside with me.
17:11.506 --> 17:13.087
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, I had a little truck.
17:13.768 --> 17:15.849
[SPEAKER_04]: I used to pull behind me when I was stringing.
17:16.409 --> 17:19.491
[SPEAKER_04]: And I had all my toys up and bring outside and with me.
17:20.552 --> 17:25.416
[SPEAKER_04]: And I remember my grandma for Christmas had gotten me this little container.
17:25.436 --> 17:45.592
[SPEAKER_04]: They had all of these army men in a little little green army men If you've ever had those green army men do me a favor putting a mojian chat and just say me too You have that little green I mean or whatever your favorite toy was did you ever take your favorite toy outside and play I did I did man
17:46.292 --> 18:01.044
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, I took my the toys outside and play of so I had this little green army man right and I took it outside the play was because that was my normal thing to take my toys outside and play.
18:01.084 --> 18:02.445
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, that's what you do.
18:03.086 --> 18:09.471
[SPEAKER_04]: So I remember one time I had this green army man and I was outside play.
18:10.742 --> 18:11.922
[SPEAKER_04]: doing or doing what I do.
18:12.862 --> 18:19.604
[SPEAKER_04]: And just so happen, I remember coming inside and leaving them outside.
18:19.684 --> 18:20.824
[SPEAKER_04]: Never thought anything about it.
18:20.884 --> 18:22.145
[SPEAKER_04]: Just left for our side.
18:22.165 --> 18:26.706
[SPEAKER_04]: So I had a little green toy army man that left outside once.
18:27.666 --> 18:31.587
[SPEAKER_04]: And it right the rain came and started it rain.
18:32.047 --> 18:34.447
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't remember the man being outside.
18:34.647 --> 18:35.928
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't remember leaving it outside.
18:36.288 --> 18:36.388
[SPEAKER_04]: But
18:38.898 --> 18:53.473
[SPEAKER_04]: And by the time I went outside again to go play again and by the time I found the army man and I think it's just what's a look of dirt in the ground, I just happened to see it and picked it up.
18:53.874 --> 18:59.319
[SPEAKER_03]: But by the time I found him, it was covered in mud.
19:01.172 --> 19:06.916
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, I couldn't, when I first saw it, I couldn't even tell what it was anymore.
19:07.277 --> 19:12.441
[SPEAKER_04]: It just looked like a couple of something that was in the mud, and I kind of, and it caught my eye, so I picked it up.
19:13.201 --> 19:17.805
[SPEAKER_04]: So at first glance, I couldn't even tell what it was anymore.
19:18.586 --> 19:24.210
[SPEAKER_04]: But it was the same toy, the same little man, I just couldn't see him.
19:26.692 --> 19:30.635
[SPEAKER_03]: I learned later on when I thought about that.
19:32.046 --> 19:46.215
[SPEAKER_03]: I learned later on that dirt because I left it in the dirt, but when I found it again, it was covered with mud.
19:48.016 --> 19:54.340
[SPEAKER_03]: I left it in the dirt because I was outside playing, but when I found it again, it was covered
19:58.820 --> 20:09.469
[SPEAKER_04]: And I thought about that as I was thinking about this show today, and I thought about that in something kind of hit me, right?
20:09.970 --> 20:10.730
[SPEAKER_04]: It kind of hit me.
20:11.091 --> 20:17.897
[SPEAKER_04]: And I thought about it and I realized that don't what we had on us.
20:19.201 --> 20:29.646
[SPEAKER_04]: In the years, we were still little, still learning, still vulnerable, still trying to figure out who we were.
20:30.586 --> 20:31.687
[SPEAKER_04]: But months,
20:32.587 --> 20:46.633
[SPEAKER_04]: what it turns into when life reigns on it, when responsibilities build up, when things begin to shape us differently because of what we've experienced.
20:47.434 --> 20:54.017
[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes things get on us in our dirt years.
20:54.717 --> 21:05.327
[SPEAKER_04]: while we're still young and impressionable, some of us know exactly what that feels like to disappear under it.
21:06.874 --> 21:12.079
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, sometimes things get on us in our dirt years.
21:12.620 --> 21:21.629
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, when we're still young, when we still believe mostly what everybody's adult says to us, it's our dirt years.
21:22.090 --> 21:26.394
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the years when we're still little and we're still young.
21:27.095 --> 21:33.780
[SPEAKER_04]: Our dirt years, we still believe in super heroes and you might still believe in center causes.
21:34.080 --> 21:35.701
[SPEAKER_04]: It's our dirt years.
21:36.181 --> 21:39.864
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the years when our imagination still work.
21:40.184 --> 21:41.665
[SPEAKER_04]: It's our dirt years.
21:42.125 --> 21:45.828
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the years before paying sex in it.
21:46.088 --> 21:53.313
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the years when we still can imagine and believe almost anything is impossible.
21:57.550 --> 22:23.175
[SPEAKER_04]: years, so a dirt year, the years before we were being shaped by our careers, it's the years before we were being indoctrinated by certain beliefs in our culture, it's our dirt years.
22:26.105 --> 22:32.307
[SPEAKER_04]: My army man, outside in the dirt, when I could still see him when he was still visible.
22:35.088 --> 22:46.191
[SPEAKER_03]: When I found it, this covered in mud, life, rains on all of us.
22:47.492 --> 22:50.573
[SPEAKER_03]: And we get covered in mud.
22:51.473 --> 22:54.514
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of us know exactly
22:56.058 --> 23:02.343
[SPEAKER_03]: what that feels like to disappear under it.
23:02.703 --> 23:12.010
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, some of us know exactly what that feels like to disappear under it.
23:14.232 --> 23:14.813
[SPEAKER_03]: The mud.
23:16.018 --> 23:17.900
[SPEAKER_03]: from what somebody else said.

[SPEAKER_04]: The mud from what somebody didn't do.
23:22.323 --> 23:25.066
[SPEAKER_04]: The mud from what we had to survive.
23:25.666 --> 23:29.229
[SPEAKER_04]: Mud from things we said about ourselves.
23:29.830 --> 23:35.675

[SPEAKER_04]: had a friend that she needed to go see who she needed to go check on.
30:10.825 --> 30:13.607

30:15.869 --> 30:20.393
[SPEAKER_04]: It was doing more raining than thunder and lightning, but it was raining.
30:20.733 --> 30:21.654
[SPEAKER_04]: It was coming down.
30:22.295 --> 30:23.756
[SPEAKER_04]: And she had made a
30:30.298 --> 30:34.722
[SPEAKER_04]: and she made up a mind she was gonna go see them because they needed her.
30:35.562 --> 30:43.129
[SPEAKER_04]: So my grandmother went to visit a friend one day and the ground was muddy because it was raining.
30:43.189 --> 30:44.710
[SPEAKER_04]: The ground was muddy.
30:45.911 --> 30:56.760
[SPEAKER_04]: And by the time, by the time she got to the door of friends door, mud was already building up on her shoe.
30:58.323 --> 31:03.006
[SPEAKER_04]: but she went anyway, she went anyway.
31:03.686 --> 31:21.718
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me just say this as a public service announcement to anyone that's listening, to anyone that says they're going somewhere, to anyone who believes they got something to do, to anyone who believes they got something to go in life, someplace to go in life.

[SPEAKER_04]: who says they got something they got a dream, they have a goal, they got something to do.
31:27.521 --> 31:29.202
[SPEAKER_04]: Who says they got somewhere to go?
31:29.423 --> 31:32.545
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me give you this public service announcement to those individuals.
31:34.166 --> 31:39.029
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't let Muddy Shoes keep you from going someplace.
31:41.390 --> 31:45.273
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, don't let Muddy Shoes keep you from going someplace.
31:45.453 --> 31:49.916
[SPEAKER_04]: When she got back home, I pointed out, grandma,
31:52.515 --> 31:58.119
[SPEAKER_03]: And she said, mud dries up, eventually.
31:58.840 --> 32:04.284
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't let muddy shoes keep you from going.
32:05.745 --> 32:09.588
[SPEAKER_03]: So she went, she went, came back, shoes was muddy, man.
32:11.509 --> 32:16.913
[SPEAKER_03]: But that was just that one day, that was one storm.
32:18.414 --> 32:20.115
[SPEAKER_04]: And it rained that day, man.
32:20.476 --> 32:21.897
[SPEAKER_04]: But that was one storm.
32:22.700 --> 32:27.047
[SPEAKER_04]: Most of us don't get one storm.
32:27.648 --> 32:36.163
[SPEAKER_04]: Come on, come on, I want to talk to some real people in here, some people who can be honest and say, you don't get just one storm.
32:37.278 --> 32:52.556
[SPEAKER_04]: You, you, you, you get a, yeah, you, you look up if, if it's not this is that if it's not this happening is that if you're not coming out of something you're about to go into something most of us don't get just one storm.
32:55.147 --> 32:55.868
[SPEAKER_04]: I wish it did.
32:56.168 --> 33:00.931
[SPEAKER_04]: I wish life only gave us one storm and that was it.
33:01.312 --> 33:06.456
[SPEAKER_04]: I wish life only gave us one storm and you had nothing else to be concerned about.
33:06.716 --> 33:09.758
[SPEAKER_04]: You only had one storm and nothing else.
33:10.258 --> 33:14.602
[SPEAKER_04]: I wish that life only gave us one storm.
33:15.302 --> 33:18.543
[SPEAKER_04]: If it's not your family member being sick, it's your best friend.
33:18.863 --> 33:21.263
[SPEAKER_04]: If it's not your best friend, it's your job.
33:21.523 --> 33:23.664
[SPEAKER_04]: If it's not your job, it's your finances.
33:23.964 --> 33:26.365
[SPEAKER_04]: If it's not that, it's your peace in your mind.
33:26.725 --> 33:29.645
[SPEAKER_04]: But we don't get the opportunity.
33:29.725 --> 33:34.426
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't get to have just one storm.
33:36.447 --> 33:44.669
[SPEAKER_04]: Most of us don't get the benefit of having just one storm in our lives.
33:46.519 --> 33:50.581
[SPEAKER_04]: We're gonna, sometimes, we get a whole week of storms.
33:51.081 --> 34:10.332
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, sometimes it's a whole week of storms, Monday's mud, some of the office, Tuesday's mud from family, Wednesday's mud from the traffic and that one person who always gets on your nerves,
34:10.832 --> 34:15.598
[SPEAKER_04]: Thursday's mud, because listen, they just wouldn't stop.
34:16.158 --> 34:20.163
[SPEAKER_04]: Friday's mud, because it's been hell all week.
34:20.843 --> 34:25.168
[SPEAKER_04]: Saturday's mud, because we made it this far.
34:25.188 --> 34:28.132
[SPEAKER_04]: And of course, Sunday's mud.
34:29.686 --> 34:44.375
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me talk about Sunday morning parking lot mud because somebody always has something to say when you're trying to do something good and Monday it starts all over.
34:46.516 --> 34:50.538
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't, I've never had to benefit of just one storm.
35:01.318 --> 35:24.371
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of us don't have the benefit of just one storm and I told you that my grandmother went outside in the mud to go see a friend to go see somebody.
35:26.571 --> 35:40.177
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to talk about something that came to my mind when I was thinking about her going out in the rain to go see a friend.
35:41.472 --> 35:44.032
[SPEAKER_04]: The ground was muddy, she could have easily slipped.
35:44.513 --> 35:45.533
[SPEAKER_04]: She could have fallen.
35:45.853 --> 35:48.133
[SPEAKER_04]: This was the time before there was cell phones.
35:48.473 --> 35:55.515
[SPEAKER_04]: So if she had slipped and fallen, she would have stayed down there hurt until somebody saw her or heard her.
35:55.975 --> 35:59.255
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, she could have slipped, fallen, broken the arm, broken the leg.
35:59.535 --> 36:02.236
[SPEAKER_04]: That was nobody, she could text or call it, meet a lift.
36:02.576 --> 36:06.557
[SPEAKER_04]: She would have to scream and yell out, she would remain right there.
36:07.897 --> 36:08.937
[SPEAKER_03]: I wanna talk about,
36:10.679 --> 36:15.702
[SPEAKER_03]: when survival looks like a bad decision.
36:17.043 --> 36:30.712
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, when survival looks like a bad decision, sometimes survival can look like a bad decision.
36:31.673 --> 36:35.976
[SPEAKER_04]: It isn't always somebody making a bad choice.
36:36.952 --> 36:51.546
[SPEAKER_04]: sometimes life just rains on us and we get mud on us trying to do right, do you ask somebody?
36:52.755 --> 37:12.953
[SPEAKER_04]: why they're working three and four jobs and doing all this over time and why you always, it's my see you, you at work, every time I talk to you, you always at work, why you're working so much, why's so much over time if you ask them what they're doing, so much they'll tell us they're just trying
37:14.591 --> 37:15.572
[SPEAKER_04]: to survive.
37:15.592 --> 37:26.378
[SPEAKER_04]: There's people right now who are working over time every time any time time and a half time time and a half they're working so much.
37:28.299 --> 37:41.627
[SPEAKER_04]: Not because they love their job that much, not because they love their office they got, not because they love the parking space they got, not because they love the cute little name tag and language, they got, they're doing it
37:44.335 --> 37:47.957
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just trying to survive.
37:50.359 --> 37:56.522
[SPEAKER_03]: And until I see you, you come on going to work because I'm trying to survive.
37:56.743 --> 37:59.704
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you look at the prices of things right now.
37:59.724 --> 38:01.685
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm food and gas.
38:02.206 --> 38:05.788
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just trying, I'm just trying to survive.
38:09.130 --> 38:11.011
[SPEAKER_03]: You must really make a lot of money, man.
38:11.311 --> 38:12.132
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just trying.
38:14.089 --> 38:35.589
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just trying to survive and there are people that sometimes will willing to risk spending time with their families and being apart from the families, not because they are loners, not because they don't like their families, because they're just trying to survive.
38:38.190 --> 38:41.472
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to be with my kids, but I'm trying to survive.
38:41.773 --> 38:45.996
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to be at home with my spouse, but I'm trying to survive.
38:46.016 --> 38:49.878
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to spend time with you, but I'm trying to survive.
38:50.198 --> 38:55.082
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to, I don't, I'm not married to my career, but I'm trying to survive.
38:55.362 --> 39:01.486
[SPEAKER_04]: And sometimes we get married to our careers, because we're trying to survive.
39:09.912 --> 39:27.868
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying to survive, every time I see you, man, you, you never, I'm trying, and if you look at everything that's going on, it'll put you in a position where you're just trying to survive.
39:27.948 --> 39:34.835
[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes we get mud on us, just trying to do the right thing, just trying
39:37.329 --> 39:43.653
[SPEAKER_04]: Not every unpopular decision comes from a bad habit.
39:44.574 --> 39:55.781
[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes, man, sometimes we did it because we felt we had to, just to make it to the next day.
39:56.101 --> 39:59.343
[SPEAKER_03]: I think about my grandmother, right?
40:01.124 --> 40:04.887
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'll see when I think that rain in that mud,
40:06.865 --> 40:08.225
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I said, she could have slipped.
40:08.745 --> 40:09.786
[SPEAKER_04]: She could have fallen.
40:09.826 --> 40:11.946
[SPEAKER_04]: We didn't have cell phones back then.
40:12.706 --> 40:18.487
[SPEAKER_04]: If she had fallen at her herself, if she couldn't get up, she would have stayed there to a car pass by.
40:19.007 --> 40:21.228
[SPEAKER_04]: She would have stayed there to somebody who had heard her.
40:21.688 --> 40:25.808
[SPEAKER_04]: If her arm was broken of a leg was broken, it's something could have happened.
40:27.669 --> 40:33.790
[SPEAKER_03]: And we would have never known until later, I think about my grandmother.
40:34.617 --> 40:39.258
[SPEAKER_04]: walking out in the rain to go see about her friend.
40:40.598 --> 40:44.559
[SPEAKER_04]: That looked like a bad decision.
40:45.719 --> 40:49.340
[SPEAKER_04]: You would have said, well, you could have waited to the rain slacked up, east up some.
40:49.660 --> 40:53.660
[SPEAKER_04]: You could have waited to the sun came out and it wasn't so messy outside.
40:53.920 --> 40:55.881
[SPEAKER_04]: You could have waited till it wasn't so messy.
40:57.461 --> 41:02.602
[SPEAKER_04]: I think about her walking out in the rain to go see about her friend.
41:03.902 --> 41:05.983
[SPEAKER_04]: Man, that looked back at it.
41:06.443 --> 41:07.983
[SPEAKER_04]: That looked like a bad decision.
41:09.183 --> 41:10.364
[SPEAKER_04]: Shoes ruined.
41:11.544 --> 41:13.164
[SPEAKER_04]: Terrette weather was terrible.
41:14.225 --> 41:19.646
[SPEAKER_03]: And her showing up helped her friend to get through it.
41:21.307 --> 41:23.047
[SPEAKER_03]: But it looked like it was a bad decision.
41:24.267 --> 41:29.449
[SPEAKER_04]: She didn't get mud on her shoes because she was careless.
41:31.489 --> 41:33.230
[SPEAKER_03]: She got mud on her shoes.
41:34.325 --> 41:35.785
[SPEAKER_03]: because she cared.
41:38.266 --> 41:42.287
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of us got muddy, helping family.
41:44.228 --> 41:49.289
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us got muddy, keeping a roof over our heads.
41:50.169 --> 41:54.491
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us got muddy, protecting somebody else.
41:55.751 --> 42:01.633
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us got muddy, getting through a season that we didn't ask for.
42:04.712 --> 42:07.535
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of the mud has our name on it.
42:11.398 --> 42:18.324
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not gonna say it doesn't matter, but mud is still mud.
42:19.105 --> 42:20.146
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just not us.
42:22.588 --> 42:28.974
[SPEAKER_03]: My grandmother had mud on her shoes because she wanted to see about somebody.
42:29.094 --> 42:29.915
[SPEAKER_04]: It was messy.
42:31.175 --> 42:35.997
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us got mud on us, helping somebody else with their mess.
42:37.457 --> 42:44.300
[SPEAKER_03]: You would have thought, somebody would have said, big mama, won't you wait until things ease up a little bit?
42:46.041 --> 42:53.804
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of us got muddy because we didn't want somebody else to feel pain.
42:54.724 --> 42:59.906
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of us got muddy trying to be there for somebody else.
43:02.803 --> 43:04.504
[SPEAKER_02]: Help somebody else with their mess.
43:08.868 --> 43:10.929
[SPEAKER_02]: It's mud, but it's not us.
43:13.171 --> 43:16.854
[SPEAKER_04]: Listen, oh, I was talking about my grandma, right?
43:17.255 --> 43:25.621
[SPEAKER_04]: Remember when I was telling you what my grandma said when she got back home, when she got back home from seeing her friend, right?
43:26.001 --> 43:29.965
[SPEAKER_04]: She got back home seeing her friend and I had pointed out that there was mud,
43:31.982 --> 43:32.883
[SPEAKER_04]: on her shoes.
43:33.543 --> 43:40.549
[SPEAKER_04]: And when I told her that there was mud on her shoes, she told me that mud dries up.
43:40.929 --> 43:50.177
[SPEAKER_04]: And remember it's so rumored, my grandmother, when she said what she told me, she said, mud eventually dries.
43:50.717 --> 43:53.960
[SPEAKER_04]: After she said, she said, it mud eventually dries.
43:55.241 --> 43:57.163
[SPEAKER_04]: And I thought about that now.
44:01.763 --> 44:10.328
[SPEAKER_04]: If this is what she meant, but I thought about that, and I was thinking about this show, I thought about that when mud drives.
44:12.009 --> 44:14.791
[SPEAKER_04]: She said, mud eventually drives.
44:14.891 --> 44:27.419
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought about when mud drives, when mud drives, it cracks, it falls off by itself.
44:30.307 --> 44:34.671
[SPEAKER_03]: month it falls, some of it falls off because it drives.
44:35.972 --> 44:47.641
[SPEAKER_03]: And it makes me wonder how much of what we're still scraping that has already fallen off.
44:48.963 --> 44:52.846
[SPEAKER_04]: Come on, come on, how much are we still talking
44:55.326 --> 45:00.291
[SPEAKER_04]: that has already dried up, cracked up, and fallen off.
45:01.752 --> 45:04.235
[SPEAKER_04]: How much are we still carrying?
45:05.576 --> 45:09.780
[SPEAKER_04]: That has already fallen off when mud dries.
45:10.901 --> 45:12.483
[SPEAKER_04]: It dries over time.
45:13.892 --> 45:24.280
[SPEAKER_04]: And as it dries over time, it begins to crack and it becomes brittle and it begins to fall off.
45:24.620 --> 45:31.506
[SPEAKER_04]: And I begin to wonder how much are we still carrying?
45:32.126 --> 45:41.634
[SPEAKER_04]: How much are we still trying to scrub off that has already dried and cracked and far and
45:44.064 --> 46:01.076
[SPEAKER_04]: How many of us are still ashamed or still caring or ashamed of something that everybody else forget about a long time ago?
46:03.097 --> 46:04.959
[SPEAKER_03]: You stood up in the classroom?
46:06.137 --> 46:09.459
[SPEAKER_04]: And you made a mistake, everybody laughed at you.
46:10.079 --> 46:14.622
[SPEAKER_04]: You're still carrying the shame that nobody else remembers.
46:15.042 --> 46:18.324
[SPEAKER_04]: It's dry, it's cracked, it's falling off.
46:19.325 --> 46:33.714
[SPEAKER_04]: As a matter of fact, the only way they remember it is if we bring it up, how many of us are still ashamed of something that everybody else forgot about a long time ago?
46:37.730 --> 46:50.759
[SPEAKER_04]: about it, even though mud dries and it becomes cracked and some of it falls off, but not all of it falls off by itself.
46:54.521 --> 47:03.928
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes when it doesn't fall off by itself, you have to knock it off.
47:06.098 --> 47:22.890
[SPEAKER_04]: after after the rain my grandmother went outside on our porch and I was watching her on the porch and I thought watch her on the porch she was working on her shoe.
47:24.231 --> 47:29.714
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm standing there watching her and here she is working on her shoes.
47:30.395 --> 47:30.675
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of
47:33.609 --> 47:50.642
[SPEAKER_04]: And that part she was scraping on and that some of it wouldn't come off as she was scraping it because it was in it was in the grooves of the bottom of the shoe and it was in the grooves of the shoe so some of it she couldn't scrape off.
47:50.662 --> 47:55.085
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, so she was just working on a so she got her shoes.
47:57.093 --> 48:02.475
[SPEAKER_04]: And she banged them together, just kind of banging her shoes together.
48:03.155 --> 48:06.476
[SPEAKER_04]: Then she hit them against the steps.
48:07.456 --> 48:11.598
[SPEAKER_04]: Then she hit them on a post beside the house.
48:12.018 --> 48:13.618
[SPEAKER_04]: Now I'm gonna be honest with you, man.
48:13.918 --> 48:15.179
[SPEAKER_04]: This was funny as a little kid.
48:15.199 --> 48:19.580
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, little kid's fine humor in the strangest thing.
48:19.640 --> 48:20.500
[SPEAKER_04]: So it was a little kid.
48:20.781 --> 48:21.901
[SPEAKER_04]: This looked funny to me.
48:23.038 --> 48:27.179
[SPEAKER_03]: And it looked funny, and that started laughing.
48:28.120 --> 48:30.220
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it was odd, it was different.
48:32.421 --> 48:33.381
[SPEAKER_03]: And it just looked funny.
48:35.042 --> 48:39.703
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's the part that nobody tells us.
48:41.524 --> 48:43.804
[SPEAKER_03]: They tell us to be good.
48:44.584 --> 48:49.286
[SPEAKER_04]: They tell us it's all right, but they don't tell us that same stuff.
48:50.277 --> 48:53.460
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't have to knock the mud off.
48:53.880 --> 49:00.346
[SPEAKER_04]: I know you can sit down straight and be cute, but some things you can't be cute about.
49:01.007 --> 49:09.155
[SPEAKER_04]: Some things that we stepped in, some things that are accumulated on our lives, there have been some things.
49:10.490 --> 49:16.374
[SPEAKER_04]: that has built up on our lives that we can't be cares about.
49:16.735 --> 49:18.996
[SPEAKER_04]: We can't be killed when it about.
49:19.617 --> 49:23.900
[SPEAKER_04]: Some stuff, you don't have to knock some mud off.
49:24.260 --> 49:26.902
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you might have to bang in the gifts to steps.
49:27.443 --> 49:28.724
[SPEAKER_04]: Not gonna give the post.
49:29.324 --> 49:30.085
[SPEAKER_04]: Some things.
49:31.353 --> 49:32.894
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't be chewed about.
49:33.314 --> 49:35.294
[SPEAKER_04]: You've been through some stuff, baby.
49:35.634 --> 49:38.956
[SPEAKER_04]: You wanna have to knock some mud off.
49:39.436 --> 49:43.417
[SPEAKER_04]: You gonna have to do some things that make you feel uncomfortable.
49:43.697 --> 49:50.259
[SPEAKER_04]: You might have to do some things that look odd and strange and look different to everybody else.
49:50.599 --> 49:52.840
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, nobody else and our family did that.
49:53.360 --> 49:58.322
[SPEAKER_04]: Nobody else and our culture ever acted like that, but nobody ever dealt with.
49:59.619 --> 50:01.179
[SPEAKER_04]: what you had to deal with.
50:01.720 --> 50:17.763
[SPEAKER_04]: Baby, if you deal with the things you had to deal with, they'll understand why you had to bangin' stuff, why you had to do in something different because what you've gone through, baby, I can't be casual, I gotta knock the mud off.
50:18.103 --> 50:24.325
[SPEAKER_04]: So she was off there, banging her shoes against the steps, banging her shoes together.
50:24.745 --> 50:28.246
[SPEAKER_03]: She was trying to knock the mud off.
50:31.226 --> 50:37.089
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's look funny to me, but she was knocking the mud off.
50:38.450 --> 50:41.672
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's the part that nobody tells us.
50:44.133 --> 50:51.257
[SPEAKER_04]: To knock the mud off, we've got to be willing to look a little art sometimes.
50:51.657 --> 51:00.082
[SPEAKER_04]: We get to be willing to step out and do something different sometimes, we get to be willing to partner with those
51:00.742 --> 51:05.326
[SPEAKER_04]: look different than us, whose accent is different than ours.
51:05.807 --> 51:16.336
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we've got to be willing to do something that looks a little odd and looks a little different to listen, to look strange to somebody else.
51:17.097 --> 51:22.041
[SPEAKER_04]: They might even make a post about you or social media.
51:22.401 --> 51:23.462
[SPEAKER_04]: That's okay,
51:27.960 --> 51:32.361
[SPEAKER_03]: And most of us already know what we need to do.
51:34.181 --> 51:39.463
[SPEAKER_04]: We know it's going to be a little different from what we've been doing.
51:40.303 --> 51:45.784
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe knocking the mud off means learning a new steel.
51:46.484 --> 51:52.126
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe it's talking to somebody about the issue that you're dealing with.
51:52.206 --> 51:55.987
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe it's talking to a counselor across the friend or a pastor.
51:58.257 --> 52:08.145
[SPEAKER_03]: is getting some help, a working with somebody who knows a little bit more about what we're trying to do.
52:10.026 --> 52:13.549
[SPEAKER_03]: However, we've got to do it.
52:15.570 --> 52:22.916
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes people ask me, Travis, they do, and this is
52:29.712 --> 52:34.335
[SPEAKER_03]: Why do I smile so much?
52:35.696 --> 52:41.500
[SPEAKER_02]: Why do I try to stay positive about life?
52:44.462 --> 52:49.145
[SPEAKER_02]: Does it life get to you sometimes?
52:50.906 --> 52:53.508
[SPEAKER_02]: Does it anything ever bother you?
52:55.470 --> 52:58.732
[SPEAKER_02]: I smile, I tell them,
52:59.962 --> 53:02.503
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, absolutely.
53:05.145 --> 53:11.848
[SPEAKER_03]: Let things bother me just like it bothers everybody else.
53:13.549 --> 53:20.052
[SPEAKER_03]: I smile because I see what's falling off lately.
53:20.472 --> 53:25.075
[SPEAKER_04]: I smile because I see what's falling off.
53:25.115 --> 53:27.496
[SPEAKER_04]: Now why are you so excited?
53:30.573 --> 53:31.934
[SPEAKER_04]: What's falling off?
53:32.354 --> 53:33.594
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you try?
53:33.995 --> 53:36.115
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you even try, man?
53:36.416 --> 53:53.383
[SPEAKER_04]: When you look at the news, then, you see what's happening all around you and you see what happened to you growing up, being born with a hole in your heart, being born and not having all the support that you know you needed as a child.
53:53.403 --> 53:55.164
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you even try?
53:55.564 --> 53:59.946
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you even put it through all the effort to try to remain positive?
54:00.246 --> 54:26.099
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I see what's following us, the reason I'm smiling so much, the reason I try to stay positive is not because things don't bother me, it's because I see what's falling off, it's not that I'm better than anyone, it's not that I don't have bad days, is that I see?
54:27.039 --> 54:28.561
[SPEAKER_04]: What's falling off?
54:29.042 --> 54:39.174
[SPEAKER_04]: The reason I tried to remain positive is not because I feel I'm better It's because I see What's falling off?
54:39.534 --> 54:45.802
[SPEAKER_04]: I tell them yes it bothers me like it bothers you But every time I'm smiling
54:47.567 --> 54:57.972
[SPEAKER_04]: I smile because I see what's falling off me every time I choose to stay positive.
55:00.133 --> 55:08.857
[SPEAKER_04]: That's me knocking the mud off, everybody's knock, looks different, that's just mine.
55:19.255 --> 55:40.099
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's not wait, don't you guys do me a favor, let's not wait until tonight on this one, let's not wait to another day on this one, let's do it right now, do it right now, I want you
55:48.459 --> 55:55.241
[SPEAKER_04]: And I want you to knock it again something, knock it against the floor, knock it against your leg, knock it against your hand.
55:55.501 --> 56:01.903
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll do something, let me join you.
56:02.483 --> 56:03.464
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me get my shoe.
56:04.584 --> 56:06.584
[SPEAKER_03]: Matter of fact, let me get my shoe.
56:07.665 --> 56:09.465
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me get my shoe.
56:10.486 --> 56:12.206

[SPEAKER_04]: We might be still doing it, getting the wrong things dirty.
12:03.495 --> 12:06.497
[SPEAKER_03]: Only the wrong things look different now.
12:08.459 --> 12:13.904
[SPEAKER_03]: Our name, our careers, our credit scoreists.
12:14.684 --> 12:21.270
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us were 13 and were still apologizing
12:22.487 --> 12:24.028
[SPEAKER_04]: for our mistake that we made.
12:24.568 --> 12:43.596
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us were 18 and maybe we skipped classes and we skipped school trying to fit in with everybody else or trying to fit in with a certain group, trying to fit in with some of our friends, trying to fit in with people.
12:45.297 --> 12:48.959
[SPEAKER_04]: And now our parents don't trust us.
12:50.505 --> 12:55.788
[SPEAKER_04]: or our parents still remind us of things we did when we were 13.
12:56.769 --> 12:59.570
[SPEAKER_04]: Their reminders of the time that we snuck out the house.
12:59.970 --> 13:02.912
[SPEAKER_04]: They still talk about it at the family union.
13:03.192 --> 13:05.854
[SPEAKER_04]: They still talk about it during the holiday times.
13:08.435 --> 13:10.757
[SPEAKER_02]: And how it, they just don't trust us about it.
13:13.658 --> 13:16.300
[SPEAKER_02]: Because we are still,
13:19.926 --> 13:23.527
[SPEAKER_03]: I think about it because we all start out good, right?
13:24.127 --> 13:35.910
[SPEAKER_04]: We all start out good, new shoes, new job, new relationship, we're just happy to have it.
13:37.430 --> 13:46.332
[SPEAKER_03]: And somewhere along the way, something told us that we are the mistake
13:48.242 --> 14:08.330
[SPEAKER_03]: That we always mess it up, something somewhere along the way, something told us that we're the mistake that we always mess it up.
14:17.237 --> 14:23.959
[SPEAKER_04]: We always mess it up and we always mess it up at the wrong time.
14:24.939 --> 14:27.920
[SPEAKER_04]: Always mess up the good opportunity.
14:28.520 --> 14:32.742
[SPEAKER_04]: Always mess up the one relationship that mattered.
14:34.642 --> 14:44.665
[SPEAKER_03]: Is there anyone that has ever felt like something good?
14:46.470 --> 14:49.793
[SPEAKER_03]: It's always being messed up.
14:51.854 --> 15:04.865
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't wanna know, I want to talk to the people right now who feel like something is always being messed up at the wrong time.
15:06.526 --> 15:09.008
[SPEAKER_03]: I would go outside, man, and I would play.
15:10.850 --> 15:14.393
[SPEAKER_03]: And some of us were adults now, were grown.
15:15.943 --> 15:26.773
[SPEAKER_04]: And some of us, we feel like we're something is always being messed up at the wrong time.
15:26.873 --> 15:32.719
[SPEAKER_04]: I wanna talk to those people right now who feel like something,
15:34.141 --> 15:39.146
[SPEAKER_04]: It's always getting messed up at the wrong time.
15:39.346 --> 15:46.292
[SPEAKER_04]: Our names, our careers, our jobs, our opportunities, the relationships, the friendships.
15:47.032 --> 15:55.700
[SPEAKER_04]: Something is always getting messed up at the wrong time.
16:01.767 --> 16:10.049
[SPEAKER_03]: If you've ever felt this way, this is your invitation into the room.
16:10.729 --> 16:13.450
[SPEAKER_03]: Come in here with the rest of us.
16:14.750 --> 16:28.134
[SPEAKER_02]: Feel like something's always getting messed up at the wrong time.
16:30.577 --> 16:37.560
[SPEAKER_03]: For years, I've always felt that there was something that's going to get messed up.
16:39.501 --> 16:40.201
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got to mess it up.
16:42.142 --> 16:51.365
[SPEAKER_03]: Something that's always getting messed up at the wrong time.
16:51.405 --> 16:55.387
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to invite those people into the room
16:57.239 --> 17:00.701
[SPEAKER_04]: You've had a good opportunity to something happen.
17:00.721 --> 17:06.084
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, remember, man, I told you, I just like going outside and playing.
17:06.504 --> 17:11.426
[SPEAKER_04]: And when I used to go outside and play, I would bring my, of course, bring my toys outside with me.
17:11.506 --> 17:13.087
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, I had a little truck.
17:13.768 --> 17:15.849
[SPEAKER_04]: I used to pull behind me when I was stringing.
17:16.409 --> 17:19.491
[SPEAKER_04]: And I had all my toys up and bring outside and with me.
17:20.552 --> 17:25.416
[SPEAKER_04]: And I remember my grandma for Christmas had gotten me this little container.
17:25.436 --> 17:45.592
[SPEAKER_04]: They had all of these army men in a little little green army men If you've ever had those green army men do me a favor putting a mojian chat and just say me too You have that little green I mean or whatever your favorite toy was did you ever take your favorite toy outside and play I did I did man
17:46.292 --> 18:01.044
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, I took my the toys outside and play of so I had this little green army man right and I took it outside the play was because that was my normal thing to take my toys outside and play.
18:01.084 --> 18:02.445
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, that's what you do.
18:03.086 --> 18:09.471
[SPEAKER_04]: So I remember one time I had this green army man and I was outside play.
18:10.742 --> 18:11.922
[SPEAKER_04]: doing or doing what I do.
18:12.862 --> 18:19.604
[SPEAKER_04]: And just so happen, I remember coming inside and leaving them outside.
18:19.684 --> 18:20.824
[SPEAKER_04]: Never thought anything about it.
18:20.884 --> 18:22.145
[SPEAKER_04]: Just left for our side.
18:22.165 --> 18:26.706
[SPEAKER_04]: So I had a little green toy army man that left outside once.
18:27.666 --> 18:31.587
[SPEAKER_04]: And it right the rain came and started it rain.
18:32.047 --> 18:34.447
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't remember the man being outside.
18:34.647 --> 18:35.928
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't remember leaving it outside.
18:36.288 --> 18:36.388
[SPEAKER_04]: But
18:38.898 --> 18:53.473
[SPEAKER_04]: And by the time I went outside again to go play again and by the time I found the army man and I think it's just what's a look of dirt in the ground, I just happened to see it and picked it up.
18:53.874 --> 18:59.319
[SPEAKER_03]: But by the time I found him, it was covered in mud.
19:01.172 --> 19:06.916
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, I couldn't, when I first saw it, I couldn't even tell what it was anymore.
19:07.277 --> 19:12.441
[SPEAKER_04]: It just looked like a couple of something that was in the mud, and I kind of, and it caught my eye, so I picked it up.
19:13.201 --> 19:17.805
[SPEAKER_04]: So at first glance, I couldn't even tell what it was anymore.
19:18.586 --> 19:24.210
[SPEAKER_04]: But it was the same toy, the same little man, I just couldn't see him.
19:26.692 --> 19:30.635
[SPEAKER_03]: I learned later on when I thought about that.
19:32.046 --> 19:46.215
[SPEAKER_03]: I learned later on that dirt because I left it in the dirt, but when I found it again, it was covered with mud.
19:48.016 --> 19:54.340
[SPEAKER_03]: I left it in the dirt because I was outside playing, but when I found it again, it was covered
19:58.820 --> 20:09.469
[SPEAKER_04]: And I thought about that as I was thinking about this show today, and I thought about that in something kind of hit me, right?
20:09.970 --> 20:10.730
[SPEAKER_04]: It kind of hit me.
20:11.091 --> 20:17.897
[SPEAKER_04]: And I thought about it and I realized that don't what we had on us.
20:19.201 --> 20:29.646
[SPEAKER_04]: In the years, we were still little, still learning, still vulnerable, still trying to figure out who we were.
20:30.586 --> 20:31.687
[SPEAKER_04]: But months,
20:32.587 --> 20:46.633
[SPEAKER_04]: what it turns into when life reigns on it, when responsibilities build up, when things begin to shape us differently because of what we've experienced.
20:47.434 --> 20:54.017
[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes things get on us in our dirt years.
20:54.717 --> 21:05.327
[SPEAKER_04]: while we're still young and impressionable, some of us know exactly what that feels like to disappear under it.
21:06.874 --> 21:12.079
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, sometimes things get on us in our dirt years.
21:12.620 --> 21:21.629
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, when we're still young, when we still believe mostly what everybody's adult says to us, it's our dirt years.
21:22.090 --> 21:26.394
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the years when we're still little and we're still young.
21:27.095 --> 21:33.780
[SPEAKER_04]: Our dirt years, we still believe in super heroes and you might still believe in center causes.
21:34.080 --> 21:35.701
[SPEAKER_04]: It's our dirt years.
21:36.181 --> 21:39.864
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the years when our imagination still work.
21:40.184 --> 21:41.665
[SPEAKER_04]: It's our dirt years.
21:42.125 --> 21:45.828
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the years before paying sex in it.
21:46.088 --> 21:53.313
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the years when we still can imagine and believe almost anything is impossible.
21:57.550 --> 22:23.175
[SPEAKER_04]: years, so a dirt year, the years before we were being shaped by our careers, it's the years before we were being indoctrinated by certain beliefs in our culture, it's our dirt years.
22:26.105 --> 22:32.307
[SPEAKER_04]: My army man, outside in the dirt, when I could still see him when he was still visible.
22:35.088 --> 22:46.191
[SPEAKER_03]: When I found it, this covered in mud, life, rains on all of us.
22:47.492 --> 22:50.573
[SPEAKER_03]: And we get covered in mud.
22:51.473 --> 22:54.514
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of us know exactly
22:56.058 --> 23:02.343
[SPEAKER_03]: what that feels like to disappear under it.
23:02.703 --> 23:12.010

[SPEAKER_03]: The mud.
23:16.018 --> 23:17.900

[SPEAKER_03]: But that was just that one day, that was one storm.
32:18.414 --> 32:20.115
[SPEAKER_04]: And it rained that day, man.
32:20.476 --> 32:21.897
[SPEAKER_04]: But that was one storm.
32:22.700 --> 32:27.047
[SPEAKER_04]: Most of us don't get one storm.
32:27.648 --> 32:36.163
[SPEAKER_04]: Come on, come on, I want to talk to some real people in here, some people who can be honest and say, you don't get just one storm.
32:37.278 --> 32:52.556
[SPEAKER_04]: You, you, you, you get a, yeah, you, you look up if, if it's not this is that if it's not this happening is that if you're not coming out of something you're about to go into something most of us don't get just one storm.
32:55.147 --> 32:55.868
[SPEAKER_04]: I wish it did.
32:56.168 --> 33:00.931
[SPEAKER_04]: I wish life only gave us one storm and that was it.
33:01.312 --> 33:06.456
[SPEAKER_04]: I wish life only gave us one storm and you had nothing else to be concerned about.
33:06.716 --> 33:09.758
[SPEAKER_04]: You only had one storm and nothing else.
33:10.258 --> 33:14.602
[SPEAKER_04]: I wish that life only gave us one storm.
33:15.302 --> 33:18.543
[SPEAKER_04]: If it's not your family member being sick, it's your best friend.
33:18.863 --> 33:21.263
[SPEAKER_04]: If it's not your best friend, it's your job.
33:21.523 --> 33:23.664
[SPEAKER_04]: If it's not your job, it's your finances.
33:23.964 --> 33:26.365
[SPEAKER_04]: If it's not that, it's your peace in your mind.
33:26.725 --> 33:29.645
[SPEAKER_04]: But we don't get the opportunity.
33:29.725 --> 33:34.426
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't get to have just one storm.
33:36.447 --> 33:44.669
[SPEAKER_04]: Most of us don't get the benefit of having just one storm in our lives.
33:46.519 --> 33:50.581
[SPEAKER_04]: We're gonna, sometimes, we get a whole week of storms.
33:51.081 --> 34:10.332
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, sometimes it's a whole week of storms, Monday's mud, some of the office, Tuesday's mud from family, Wednesday's mud from the traffic and that one person who always gets on your nerves,
34:10.832 --> 34:15.598
[SPEAKER_04]: Thursday's mud, because listen, they just wouldn't stop.
34:16.158 --> 34:20.163
[SPEAKER_04]: Friday's mud, because it's been hell all week.
34:20.843 --> 34:25.168
[SPEAKER_04]: Saturday's mud, because we made it this far.
34:25.188 --> 34:28.132
[SPEAKER_04]: And of course, Sunday's mud.
34:29.686 --> 34:44.375
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me talk about Sunday morning parking lot mud because somebody always has something to say when you're trying to do something good and Monday it starts all over.
34:46.516 --> 34:50.538
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't, I've never had to benefit of just one storm.
35:01.318 --> 35:24.371
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of us don't have the benefit of just one storm and I told you that my grandmother went outside in the mud to go see a friend to go see somebody.
35:26.571 --> 35:40.177
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to talk about something that came to my mind when I was thinking about her going out in the rain to go see a friend.
35:41.472 --> 35:44.032
[SPEAKER_04]: The ground was muddy, she could have easily slipped.
35:44.513 --> 35:45.533
[SPEAKER_04]: She could have fallen.
35:45.853 --> 35:48.133
[SPEAKER_04]: This was the time before there was cell phones.
35:48.473 --> 35:55.515
[SPEAKER_04]: So if she had slipped and fallen, she would have stayed down there hurt until somebody saw her or heard her.
35:55.975 --> 35:59.255
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, she could have slipped, fallen, broken the arm, broken the leg.
35:59.535 --> 36:02.236
[SPEAKER_04]: That was nobody, she could text or call it, meet a lift.
36:02.576 --> 36:06.557
[SPEAKER_04]: She would have to scream and yell out, she would remain right there.
36:07.897 --> 36:08.937
[SPEAKER_03]: I wanna talk about,
36:10.679 --> 36:15.702
[SPEAKER_03]: when survival looks like a bad decision.
36:17.043 --> 36:30.712
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, when survival looks like a bad decision, sometimes survival can look like a bad decision.
36:31.673 --> 36:35.976
[SPEAKER_04]: It isn't always somebody making a bad choice.
36:36.952 --> 36:51.546
[SPEAKER_04]: sometimes life just rains on us and we get mud on us trying to do right, do you ask somebody?
36:52.755 --> 37:12.953
[SPEAKER_04]: why they're working three and four jobs and doing all this over time and why you always, it's my see you, you at work, every time I talk to you, you always at work, why you're working so much, why's so much over time if you ask them what they're doing, so much they'll tell us they're just trying
37:14.591 --> 37:15.572
[SPEAKER_04]: to survive.
37:15.592 --> 37:26.378
[SPEAKER_04]: There's people right now who are working over time every time any time time and a half time time and a half they're working so much.
37:28.299 --> 37:41.627
[SPEAKER_04]: Not because they love their job that much, not because they love their office they got, not because they love the parking space they got, not because they love the cute little name tag and language, they got, they're doing it
37:44.335 --> 37:47.957
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just trying to survive.
37:50.359 --> 37:56.522
[SPEAKER_03]: And until I see you, you come on going to work because I'm trying to survive.
37:56.743 --> 37:59.704
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you look at the prices of things right now.
37:59.724 --> 38:01.685
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm food and gas.
38:02.206 --> 38:05.788
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just trying, I'm just trying to survive.
38:09.130 --> 38:11.011
[SPEAKER_03]: You must really make a lot of money, man.
38:11.311 --> 38:12.132
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just trying.
38:14.089 --> 38:35.589
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just trying to survive and there are people that sometimes will willing to risk spending time with their families and being apart from the families, not because they are loners, not because they don't like their families, because they're just trying to survive.
38:38.190 --> 38:41.472
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to be with my kids, but I'm trying to survive.
38:41.773 --> 38:45.996
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to be at home with my spouse, but I'm trying to survive.
38:46.016 --> 38:49.878
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to spend time with you, but I'm trying to survive.
38:50.198 --> 38:55.082
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to, I don't, I'm not married to my career, but I'm trying to survive.
38:55.362 --> 39:01.486
[SPEAKER_04]: And sometimes we get married to our careers, because we're trying to survive.
39:09.912 --> 39:27.868
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying to survive, every time I see you, man, you, you never, I'm trying, and if you look at everything that's going on, it'll put you in a position where you're just trying to survive.
39:27.948 --> 39:34.835
[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes we get mud on us, just trying to do the right thing, just trying
39:37.329 --> 39:43.653
[SPEAKER_04]: Not every unpopular decision comes from a bad habit.
39:44.574 --> 39:55.781
[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes, man, sometimes we did it because we felt we had to, just to make it to the next day.
39:56.101 --> 39:59.343
[SPEAKER_03]: I think about my grandmother, right?
40:01.124 --> 40:04.887
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'll see when I think that rain in that mud,
40:06.865 --> 40:08.225
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I said, she could have slipped.
40:08.745 --> 40:09.786
[SPEAKER_04]: She could have fallen.
40:09.826 --> 40:11.946
[SPEAKER_04]: We didn't have cell phones back then.
40:12.706 --> 40:18.487
[SPEAKER_04]: If she had fallen at her herself, if she couldn't get up, she would have stayed there to a car pass by.
40:19.007 --> 40:21.228
[SPEAKER_04]: She would have stayed there to somebody who had heard her.
40:21.688 --> 40:25.808
[SPEAKER_04]: If her arm was broken of a leg was broken, it's something could have happened.
40:27.669 --> 40:33.790
[SPEAKER_03]: And we would have never known until later, I think about my grandmother.
40:34.617 --> 40:39.258
[SPEAKER_04]: walking out in the rain to go see about her friend.
40:40.598 --> 40:44.559
[SPEAKER_04]: That looked like a bad decision.
40:45.719 --> 40:49.340
[SPEAKER_04]: You would have said, well, you could have waited to the rain slacked up, east up some.
40:49.660 --> 40:53.660
[SPEAKER_04]: You could have waited to the sun came out and it wasn't so messy outside.
40:53.920 --> 40:55.881
[SPEAKER_04]: You could have waited till it wasn't so messy.
40:57.461 --> 41:02.602
[SPEAKER_04]: I think about her walking out in the rain to go see about her friend.
41:03.902 --> 41:05.983
[SPEAKER_04]: Man, that looked back at it.
41:06.443 --> 41:07.983
[SPEAKER_04]: That looked like a bad decision.
41:09.183 --> 41:10.364
[SPEAKER_04]: Shoes ruined.
41:11.544 --> 41:13.164
[SPEAKER_04]: Terrette weather was terrible.
41:14.225 --> 41:19.646
[SPEAKER_03]: And her showing up helped her friend to get through it.
41:21.307 --> 41:23.047
[SPEAKER_03]: But it looked like it was a bad decision.
41:24.267 --> 41:29.449
[SPEAKER_04]: She didn't get mud on her shoes because she was careless.
41:31.489 --> 41:33.230
[SPEAKER_03]: She got mud on her shoes.
41:34.325 --> 41:35.785
[SPEAKER_03]: because she cared.
41:38.266 --> 41:42.287
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of us got muddy, helping family.
41:44.228 --> 41:49.289
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us got muddy, keeping a roof over our heads.
41:50.169 --> 41:54.491
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us got muddy, protecting somebody else.
41:55.751 --> 42:01.633
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us got muddy, getting through a season that we didn't ask for.
42:04.712 --> 42:07.535
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of the mud has our name on it.
42:11.398 --> 42:18.324
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not gonna say it doesn't matter, but mud is still mud.
42:19.105 --> 42:20.146
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just not us.
42:22.588 --> 42:28.974
[SPEAKER_03]: My grandmother had mud on her shoes because she wanted to see about somebody.
42:29.094 --> 42:29.915
[SPEAKER_04]: It was messy.
42:31.175 --> 42:35.997
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of us got mud on us, helping somebody else with their mess.
42:37.457 --> 42:44.300
[SPEAKER_03]: You would have thought, somebody would have said, big mama, won't you wait until things ease up a little bit?
42:46.041 --> 42:53.804
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of us got muddy because we didn't want somebody else to feel pain.
42:54.724 --> 42:59.906
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of us got muddy trying to be there for somebody else.
43:02.803 --> 43:04.504
[SPEAKER_02]: Help somebody else with their mess.
43:08.868 --> 43:10.929
[SPEAKER_02]: It's mud, but it's not us.
43:13.171 --> 43:16.854
[SPEAKER_04]: Listen, oh, I was talking about my grandma, right?
43:17.255 --> 43:25.621
[SPEAKER_04]: Remember when I was telling you what my grandma said when she got back home, when she got back home from seeing her friend, right?
43:26.001 --> 43:29.965
[SPEAKER_04]: She got back home seeing her friend and I had pointed out that there was mud,
43:31.982 --> 43:32.883
[SPEAKER_04]: on her shoes.
43:33.543 --> 43:40.549
[SPEAKER_04]: And when I told her that there was mud on her shoes, she told me that mud dries up.
43:40.929 --> 43:50.177
[SPEAKER_04]: And remember it's so rumored, my grandmother, when she said what she told me, she said, mud eventually dries.
43:50.717 --> 43:53.960
[SPEAKER_04]: After she said, she said, it mud eventually dries.
43:55.241 --> 43:57.163
[SPEAKER_04]: And I thought about that now.
44:01.763 --> 44:10.328
[SPEAKER_04]: If this is what she meant, but I thought about that, and I was thinking about this show, I thought about that when mud drives.
44:12.009 --> 44:14.791
[SPEAKER_04]: She said, mud eventually drives.
44:14.891 --> 44:27.419
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought about when mud drives, when mud drives, it cracks, it falls off by itself.
44:30.307 --> 44:34.671
[SPEAKER_03]: month it falls, some of it falls off because it drives.
44:35.972 --> 44:47.641
[SPEAKER_03]: And it makes me wonder how much of what we're still scraping that has already fallen off.
44:48.963 --> 44:52.846
[SPEAKER_04]: Come on, come on, how much are we still talking
44:55.326 --> 45:00.291
[SPEAKER_04]: that has already dried up, cracked up, and fallen off.
45:01.752 --> 45:04.235
[SPEAKER_04]: How much are we still carrying?
45:05.576 --> 45:09.780
[SPEAKER_04]: That has already fallen off when mud dries.
45:10.901 --> 45:12.483
[SPEAKER_04]: It dries over time.
45:13.892 --> 45:24.280
[SPEAKER_04]: And as it dries over time, it begins to crack and it becomes brittle and it begins to fall off.
45:24.620 --> 45:31.506
[SPEAKER_04]: And I begin to wonder how much are we still carrying?
45:32.126 --> 45:41.634
[SPEAKER_04]: How much are we still trying to scrub off that has already dried and cracked and far and
45:44.064 --> 46:01.076
[SPEAKER_04]: How many of us are still ashamed or still caring or ashamed of something that everybody else forget about a long time ago?
46:03.097 --> 46:04.959
[SPEAKER_03]: You stood up in the classroom?
46:06.137 --> 46:09.459
[SPEAKER_04]: And you made a mistake, everybody laughed at you.
46:10.079 --> 46:14.622
[SPEAKER_04]: You're still carrying the shame that nobody else remembers.
46:15.042 --> 46:18.324
[SPEAKER_04]: It's dry, it's cracked, it's falling off.
46:19.325 --> 46:33.714
[SPEAKER_04]: As a matter of fact, the only way they remember it is if we bring it up, how many of us are still ashamed of something that everybody else forgot about a long time ago?
46:37.730 --> 46:50.759
[SPEAKER_04]: about it, even though mud dries and it becomes cracked and some of it falls off, but not all of it falls off by itself.
46:54.521 --> 47:03.928
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes when it doesn't fall off by itself, you have to knock it off.
47:06.098 --> 47:22.890
[SPEAKER_04]: after after the rain my grandmother went outside on our porch and I was watching her on the porch and I thought watch her on the porch she was working on her shoe.
47:24.231 --> 47:29.714
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm standing there watching her and here she is working on her shoes.
47:30.395 --> 47:30.675
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of
47:33.609 --> 47:50.642
[SPEAKER_04]: And that part she was scraping on and that some of it wouldn't come off as she was scraping it because it was in it was in the grooves of the bottom of the shoe and it was in the grooves of the shoe so some of it she couldn't scrape off.
47:50.662 --> 47:55.085
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, so she was just working on a so she got her shoes.
47:57.093 --> 48:02.475
[SPEAKER_04]: And she banged them together, just kind of banging her shoes together.
48:03.155 --> 48:06.476
[SPEAKER_04]: Then she hit them against the steps.
48:07.456 --> 48:11.598
[SPEAKER_04]: Then she hit them on a post beside the house.
48:12.018 --> 48:13.618
[SPEAKER_04]: Now I'm gonna be honest with you, man.
48:13.918 --> 48:15.179
[SPEAKER_04]: This was funny as a little kid.
48:15.199 --> 48:19.580
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, little kid's fine humor in the strangest thing.
48:19.640 --> 48:20.500
[SPEAKER_04]: So it was a little kid.
48:20.781 --> 48:21.901
[SPEAKER_04]: This looked funny to me.
48:23.038 --> 48:27.179
[SPEAKER_03]: And it looked funny, and that started laughing.
48:28.120 --> 48:30.220
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it was odd, it was different.
48:32.421 --> 48:33.381
[SPEAKER_03]: And it just looked funny.
48:35.042 --> 48:39.703
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's the part that nobody tells us.
48:41.524 --> 48:43.804
[SPEAKER_03]: They tell us to be good.
48:44.584 --> 48:49.286
[SPEAKER_04]: They tell us it's all right, but they don't tell us that same stuff.
48:50.277 --> 48:53.460
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't have to knock the mud off.
48:53.880 --> 49:00.346
[SPEAKER_04]: I know you can sit down straight and be cute, but some things you can't be cute about.
49:01.007 --> 49:09.155
[SPEAKER_04]: Some things that we stepped in, some things that are accumulated on our lives, there have been some things.
49:10.490 --> 49:16.374
[SPEAKER_04]: that has built up on our lives that we can't be cares about.
49:16.735 --> 49:18.996
[SPEAKER_04]: We can't be killed when it about.
49:19.617 --> 49:23.900
[SPEAKER_04]: Some stuff, you don't have to knock some mud off.
49:24.260 --> 49:26.902
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you might have to bang in the gifts to steps.
49:27.443 --> 49:28.724
[SPEAKER_04]: Not gonna give the post.
49:29.324 --> 49:30.085
[SPEAKER_04]: Some things.
49:31.353 --> 49:32.894
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't be chewed about.
49:33.314 --> 49:35.294
[SPEAKER_04]: You've been through some stuff, baby.
49:35.634 --> 49:38.956
[SPEAKER_04]: You wanna have to knock some mud off.
49:39.436 --> 49:43.417
[SPEAKER_04]: You gonna have to do some things that make you feel uncomfortable.
49:43.697 --> 49:50.259
[SPEAKER_04]: You might have to do some things that look odd and strange and look different to everybody else.
49:50.599 --> 49:52.840
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, nobody else and our family did that.
49:53.360 --> 49:58.322
[SPEAKER_04]: Nobody else and our culture ever acted like that, but nobody ever dealt with.
49:59.619 --> 50:01.179
[SPEAKER_04]: what you had to deal with.
50:01.720 --> 50:17.763
[SPEAKER_04]: Baby, if you deal with the things you had to deal with, they'll understand why you had to bangin' stuff, why you had to do in something different because what you've gone through, baby, I can't be casual, I gotta knock the mud off.
50:18.103 --> 50:24.325
[SPEAKER_04]: So she was off there, banging her shoes against the steps, banging her shoes together.
50:24.745 --> 50:28.246
[SPEAKER_03]: She was trying to knock the mud off.
50:31.226 --> 50:37.089
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's look funny to me, but she was knocking the mud off.
50:38.450 --> 50:41.672
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's the part that nobody tells us.
50:44.133 --> 50:51.257
[SPEAKER_04]: To knock the mud off, we've got to be willing to look a little art sometimes.
50:51.657 --> 51:00.082
[SPEAKER_04]: We get to be willing to step out and do something different sometimes, we get to be willing to partner with those
51:00.742 --> 51:05.326
[SPEAKER_04]: look different than us, whose accent is different than ours.
51:05.807 --> 51:16.336
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we've got to be willing to do something that looks a little odd and looks a little different to listen, to look strange to somebody else.
51:17.097 --> 51:22.041
[SPEAKER_04]: They might even make a post about you or social media.
51:22.401 --> 51:23.462
[SPEAKER_04]: That's okay,
51:27.960 --> 51:32.361
[SPEAKER_03]: And most of us already know what we need to do.
51:34.181 --> 51:39.463
[SPEAKER_04]: We know it's going to be a little different from what we've been doing.
51:40.303 --> 51:45.784
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe knocking the mud off means learning a new steel.
51:46.484 --> 51:52.126
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe it's talking to somebody about the issue that you're dealing with.
51:52.206 --> 51:55.987
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe it's talking to a counselor across the friend or a pastor.
51:58.257 --> 52:08.145
[SPEAKER_03]: is getting some help, a working with somebody who knows a little bit more about what we're trying to do.
52:10.026 --> 52:13.549
[SPEAKER_03]: However, we've got to do it.
52:15.570 --> 52:22.916
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes people ask me, Travis, they do, and this is
52:29.712 --> 52:34.335
[SPEAKER_03]: Why do I smile so much?
52:35.696 --> 52:41.500
[SPEAKER_02]: Why do I try to stay positive about life?
52:44.462 --> 52:49.145
[SPEAKER_02]: Does it life get to you sometimes?
52:50.906 --> 52:53.508
[SPEAKER_02]: Does it anything ever bother you?
52:55.470 --> 52:58.732
[SPEAKER_02]: I smile, I tell them,
52:59.962 --> 53:02.503
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, absolutely.
53:05.145 --> 53:11.848
[SPEAKER_03]: Let things bother me just like it bothers everybody else.
53:13.549 --> 53:20.052
[SPEAKER_03]: I smile because I see what's falling off lately.
53:20.472 --> 53:25.075
[SPEAKER_04]: I smile because I see what's falling off.
53:25.115 --> 53:27.496
[SPEAKER_04]: Now why are you so excited?
53:30.573 --> 53:31.934
[SPEAKER_04]: What's falling off?
53:32.354 --> 53:33.594
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you try?
53:33.995 --> 53:36.115
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you even try, man?
53:36.416 --> 53:53.383
[SPEAKER_04]: When you look at the news, then, you see what's happening all around you and you see what happened to you growing up, being born with a hole in your heart, being born and not having all the support that you know you needed as a child.
53:53.403 --> 53:55.164
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you even try?
53:55.564 --> 53:59.946
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you even put it through all the effort to try to remain positive?
54:00.246 --> 54:26.099
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I see what's following us, the reason I'm smiling so much, the reason I try to stay positive is not because things don't bother me, it's because I see what's falling off, it's not that I'm better than anyone, it's not that I don't have bad days, is that I see?
54:27.039 --> 54:28.561
[SPEAKER_04]: What's falling off?
54:29.042 --> 54:39.174
[SPEAKER_04]: The reason I tried to remain positive is not because I feel I'm better It's because I see What's falling off?
54:39.534 --> 54:45.802
[SPEAKER_04]: I tell them yes it bothers me like it bothers you But every time I'm smiling
54:47.567 --> 54:57.972
[SPEAKER_04]: I smile because I see what's falling off me every time I choose to stay positive.
55:00.133 --> 55:08.857
[SPEAKER_04]: That's me knocking the mud off, everybody's knock, looks different, that's just mine.
