[03:12:12] Give it up for all the people that performed tonight, yo.
[03:12:14] That was great.
[03:12:22] So, I don’t know if anybody said this, but this was our ninth annual Speak Your Truth event, the ninth annual, so that is dope.
[03:12:30] Yes, we’ve been doing this nine years.
[03:12:32] Yes.
[03:12:34] A lot of work goes in behind the scenes to put these events on, and most of that is done by Tyler and David.
[03:12:42] Tyler is the man behind the scenes every now and then, but yeah, he put in a lot of work.
[03:12:49] So, Tyler, thank you for this event.
[03:12:51] Every year, you put in so much work.
[03:12:54] Tomorrow, sleep in.
[03:12:56] Don’t do shit tomorrow.
[03:12:57] Just sleep in and chill.
[03:12:59] But yeah, this is the ninth year, and every year, it’s a pleasure of mine to host and be on this show.
[03:13:04] Thank you so much for being here, and thank you so much for being a part of this event, because it’s always powerful people come up here and share their stories, which is not easy at all.
[03:13:11] Just to come on stage is not easy, but to share your personal stories and, like, they’re not the best of stories sometimes, so it’s really dope to see people come up here.
[03:13:20] It’s actually inspiring to see that, and after these events, I always leave much better than when I came into the events, no matter how I was feeling that day.
[03:13:28] So, I just want to thank all y’all for coming and being a part of this, because we couldn’t do this if there was nobody in these seats.
[03:13:34] It would be weird as fuck just to talk to y’all on stage and nobody here.
[03:13:37] So, I just want to thank y’all for coming out and thank y’all for being a part of this great event.
[03:13:43] And I’m still kind of stalling, because David just told me to stall, and I don’t know why.
[03:13:47] But I did want to come over here and say thank y’all for being a part of this and coming out every year, especially the people that come out every year.
[03:13:53] Y’all, the faces that I see every year that come out to these events is dope.
[03:13:56] And yeah, thank y’all for that.
[03:13:58] Give it a round of applause for yourselves.
[03:14:04] So, we’re ready to start to do this raffle.
[03:14:08] David told me to stall, but we can get to these raffles for real.
[03:14:13] This the first one?
[03:14:14] What is the item?
[03:14:16] Let’s see.
[03:14:18] First, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[03:14:20] Come up here, Tyler.
[03:14:21] Yeah, do some, yeah, yeah.
[03:14:23] Do some in front of the stage work.
[03:14:32] That’s my fault, Tyler.
[03:14:33] You’re good now.
[03:14:34] Oh, okay, okay.
[03:14:37] Okay.
[03:14:38] All right.
[03:14:39] So, we have the Euphoric Healings, who donated a $75 pack with a whole bunch of goodies in there.
[03:14:45] Herbal teas, smudges, lip balm.
[03:14:49] And can I get a drum roll, please?
[03:14:53] First ticket is $330.
[03:14:57] $330.
[03:14:59] Hey!
[03:15:03] There you go.
[03:15:04] There goes your prize.
[03:15:08] Hey.
[03:15:10] First raffle item is down.
[03:15:14] Do I, I guess.
[03:15:15] You guys have no idea what goes on behind the scenes.
[03:15:24] I had to run out to get the mystery pack.
[03:15:28] Addition?
[03:15:29] Mystery pack.
[03:15:30] Yeah, yeah.
[03:15:31] There’s a mystery pack raffle, which, you know what?
[03:15:32] Frankly, guys, we usually do pretty good with these raffles.
[03:15:33] But I’m kind of disappointed.
[03:15:34] I know I shouldn’t say the D word.
[03:15:35] But whoever added into the mystery pack is going home with a lot of great stuff.
[03:15:36] Just throwing that out there.
[03:15:37] But I got locked out.
[03:15:38] I had to run all the way across.
[03:15:39] And then this door wouldn’t open, either.
[03:15:40] He forgot the code.
[03:15:41] So, I got locked out.
[03:15:42] I had to run all the way across.
[03:15:43] And then this door wouldn’t open, either.
[03:15:44] He forgot the code.
[03:15:45] I got locked out.
[03:15:46] I got locked out.
[03:15:47] I got locked out.
[03:15:48] I got locked out.
[03:15:49] I got locked out.
[03:15:50] I got locked out.
[03:15:51] I got locked out.
[03:15:58] I got locked out.
[03:15:59] I got locked out.
[03:16:00] Couldn’t even get in.
[03:16:01] But behind the scenes, there’s so much work done to make this happen.
[03:16:05] Tyler, give him a round of applause.
[03:16:07] All the responses on Instagram, all the getting of the artists, connecting.
[03:16:13] Malcolm is a good and great resource for all of these artists.
[03:16:19] I’m OK.
[03:16:20] Just saying.
