  Speaker 1: It also stimilates the brain as well. We're good. We'll
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: tell us about the prey coming up. You contacted me.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's a big anniversary time. You
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: always have a great thing tied to it. We talked
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: about MLK Parade in Houston, Texas is to be this Monday, correct,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: That is correg Sir, Monday, January one, at ten am
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in Houston's Midtown. We're celebrating our anniversary this year and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: we want to do something special. So I'm not sure
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: if this permitted to say this, but Roysons has been
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: my mentor for years, and listening to him, we decided
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to effect a fifty state marketing strategy. It has it
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: has paid dividends. We have representation from thirty four states,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: three US territories, and four foreign countries this year. Uh.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: We started off by wanting one marching band for every
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: year of existence, and that has double to fifty marching
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: bands from all over the country. Uh. There are about
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: thirty thousand participants in the parade and where they're providing,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we're expecting any excess of three hundred thousand spectators this year.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Bring my camera phone so I can take some picture.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: That's do that. It's such a fun experience to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a part. I've been fortunate to be named one of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the Grand Marshals in the past parade. And it's first
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of all, the people who sitting on the streets watching
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the parade with their family some standing, they really get it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It's really a good experience for them in Houston, Texas
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: doing that, doing that Monday, when you do the MLK
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: parade for right, that is correct, you know, that's why
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I do it. Uh, it's an experience, as you already know.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: It's a feeling that it's hard to duplicate, but what
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you're seeing is actually the face of humanity, is what
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: humanity looks like. And it's a very humbling experience. And
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: one of the keys of success is that once you
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: experience that like you did, it's hard to stay It's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: hard to stay away. They keep coming back and bringing
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: others and bringing others. And this year, uh it we
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: have set records across the board from a perspective or participation,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to spectatorship to coverage. UM and it is they coming
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: together of everybody and uh, we are very very excited.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: We're looking forward to Monday, January one at t M
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: in Houston's Minto Now that's the actual parade, but it's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: actually an entire weekend that you produce for the MK Parade,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: which is like the the the headliner event of your
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: events that you put on weekend. Tell everybody a bit
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: that other events will be going on in Houston, Texas
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that weekend, just because they have relatives coming down there,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: or they may be listening locally in Houston on podcasts
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: or series exam. Absolutely, the m OK Grand Parade is
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: indeed the grand finale. It is the end results of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: what we do twelve months out of the year. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the other events, UH that are related to a Grand Parade,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: we're not by design. As I mentioned earlier, We're a
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: national level event, so we literally have people coming in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the weekend of UH. If I can give you an
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: example three years three years ago, we got a phone
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: call from a high school administrator. I learned later she
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: was a band director from Osaka, Japan. Her name is Cri,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and she asked me to send her videos and footage
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of different college halftime shows and she even named them.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: She's hit Southern Gramlin, Jackson State. She went down the line.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: This was three years ago. UH, and I did. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: sent her a college or a montage of you will
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: if you will look different? Uh sweat college is halftime shows.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Three months ago she re registered for the m OK
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Grand Pride and she sent me the video performance of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: her group. It is an old Girl two and twenty
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: member marching van. And from looking at the video, they
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: look and sound like Southern I mean it's almost like
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: watching it's almost watching a ballet music and I'm going
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to whoa. You know, human beings can make sounds like that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: And then she shared a educational secret with me that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: is coming in the East, but it's very uncommon in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the West. Uh. There educational system is much different from ours.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: The reason she called me three years ago, it's because
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: her band were freshmen at that time. Now they're seniors. Uh.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: They literally go to school twelve months out of the year.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They break some, you know, they break for a couple
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of weeks in the summer, and they stayed together and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: they grew into their routine and in their music and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: believe me when I tell you it is incredible. And
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: if you want to listen to them, go to my
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: website m OK Grand Parade dot org and click on
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: commercial and not the first but the second set of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: music lyrics it's them. We lifted them from their video
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and you can see what they sound like. It is awesome.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So so so you got it laid out this year
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: as you do here. But you you when when when nationwide,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: like you said, representatives from different states, different territory, US territories.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: You asked for twenty five bands, you gotta triple that.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So how long is this parade going to be? Am
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I going to be at the front of the parade
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: at the end of the parade? You know? How what
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: are you positioned to Rushan McDonald in the parade? Sir?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So I can tell my fan base we have to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: put you up front for two reasons. They're coming out
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to see you can Secondly, if we didn't put you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: in the front of the parade, you wouldn't start off
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: in alignment in the parade until sometimes on tuc or Win.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking that. That's what I'm asking right
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: there where where we shud I gonna be. I need
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to get some food. I need to get some food
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: because you know, if anybody know, the parade it always stops.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: So it gives a band a moment to have a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: little moment in front of the group. So if you
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: got more than gonna it's gonna be some moments. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's a bad thing, that's an awesome thing. No, No,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: we got a surprise for you. We've we've learned from
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: our old mistakes in the past. So all of our
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: honorees and Grand Marshals are going to lead the parade
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and then your cars and escorts are going to circle
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the great route coming back behind the Grand Grand Revealing Stand,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and that's where we're gonna put you so you can
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: actually watch the person. Unless we got to get you
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: out there. You can't to fight out of Houston. But
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you sit there and we're gonna have some refreshments for you,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna be in for a shoulders And this
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: thing is really as a kid say, Pops, this is
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: off the chain, it's up the change. Well I would
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: tell you this. Just let me just promote what he
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: does and say they've used in the in town Houston. Uh,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be a part of the parade. That's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the MLK Grande Parade that's at ten a m in
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: midtown Houston. Uh. I've been fortunate. I want to use
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the word blessed because if somebody asked you to be
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to represent their brand to be a Grand Marshal. That
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: means that there's something that I've done positive in my
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: life that that allows me to be associated with a
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: great name like Dr Martin Luther King Jr. All my life,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I try to do what he's tried to do, give
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: people an opportunity to see their values in a different
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: phase of their life than a lot of people don't
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: see them. So, Sir, I want to thank you for
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: calling them. You know you're gonna see me on Monday.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: You know it goes. I know it's all weekend. I'll
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: probably fly in on Friday to trying to be at
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: your Friday event. Okay, right, it's actually we moved it
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to Saturday to make accommodations for you. Okay, going on
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to you twice. We go on you at the reception
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: on Saturday the nineteen, and then of course the grand
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: finally on Monday. But if I got just two three
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: more seconds to say this for your your audience, if
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you don't mind, I gotta go you back. I'm gonna
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: bring you back. Hi, ra Shan McDonald here, before I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: left break, I didn't want to hear some great things
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: he wanted to say. Wrap up, with. I wanted to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: bring back up Charles Stamp he's the creator, producer, executive
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: producer of the MLK Parade that I'd be a part
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of this Monday in Houston, Texas Midtown. So Charles, what what?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: What were you trying to say before we ended up
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that break? Boy, uh Rahan, for your listening audience and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: for the nation, you are much much to matters and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I just want to share with you. Uh. I hated
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: your guts initially because you kept pushing me to do
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: things that I didn't think I was capable of doing.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: So two years ago I said, okay, I'm going to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: show us on something. He's talking about the fifth state
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: marketing strategy. And you know what we did, and we
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: figured out a way to do it. We have thirty
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: we're in thirty media markets right now. We call a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: marketing hubs. Example, if you want to take up four states,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: so we would advertise on street Port losing and pick
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: up mississip Arkansas losing in Texas. This is what you
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: made me do. I didn't think that I had it
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in me, but sir, you're indeed are proud of your
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: dr King. This is exactly a division that he had,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and I no longer think that I'm an ardinary person.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I think I'm Roshan McDonald. I think I can do anything.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that comment, you know, And so you know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the thing about it is that I just try to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: push people to their greatness and I challenged them. And
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: every day people tell me things that I just consider
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: normal to me. When I encourage you to take those
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: gifts to the next level, I just consider normal. I
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: consider normal that you should be blessed. I consider normal
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that you should have things that I don't have. I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: consider normal that you should live a better lifestyle than
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: your parents. I consider normal that you to live the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: dream that you feel that you are capable of living.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And that's all I try to do every day. And
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: if that's part of the legacy that Dr mart and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Luther King wanted to create for everybody, I've been living
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: this since I was eighteen years old, that is his legacy. Sir,
