One and welcome to the Joy Ritchell.

Thank you for tuning in.

Big up to everybody that is in the YouTube chat.

Y'all already get there so early,

and y'all already started chatting out where you are, North Carolina in the house. We have a happy hump day, everyone from Karen Stoaks. We love Karen. Karen is always in the house. We got a hello from Lorena Taylor, also one of our team T.JRS regulars. Good evening to everybody. Also, good evening to everybody in the substack chat. I always like to shout out both of the chat. So thank you all for tuning in, whether you're on the stack, whether you're on YouTube, wherever you're tuning in. Love to everybody, especially including. Good evening. Good evening, everybody. Sorry, do we tell everybody where are they watching from? Could you put that in the chat,

please, where you guys are watching us from? Absolutely. See, Jason didn't tell what he's watching for. Oh, okay, because I was going to say, you're not so where you're watching from. I'm watching from here, but if you guys can put that in the chat, that'd be awesome. Absolutely, fabulous and fantabulous. Thank you guys very much. I want to remind you guys, if you have not already voted in the NWACP Image Awards,

we are up in the best news and information podcast category. And for those of you who are stressed

out because Don Lemon is in there too, he's nominated in like full of the categories. Yeah,

you know what's so true. He's in like five categories. Don is a good guy, but we love Don.

Here goes another request. And Native Land Pod a good guy, but here goes another request, guys.

And Nativeland Pod is also nominated. But here goes another request. If you guys can take your phone out and scan that QR code. And then once you do that, just look down a list. We're at the bottom. Just go ahead and vote for the Troy Reach show. That would be greatly appreciate it. We would so very much appreciate it. Thank you so much.

Yes, we appreciate.

See, Jason is like, she's showing his face online.

He's giving you guys the gift of face. And so we're hoping that you guys can vote for us. And also if you love Native Land Pod and Don and everybody else, you can you can actually vote every day. You can vote different people every day. So you can share the love with everybody. But we'd really appreciate a vote. We're super proud of being nominated. It's a fan. It's an audience choice category.

So that's why we're encouraging everyone to please jump in and vote for us if you can.

We have a big show tonight. Uncle Luke will be here. Luther Campbell coming live from the

MIA. Reverend Freddie Haynes, Frederick Douglas Haynes, from Friendship West Baptist Church

in the great state of Texas will also be here.

They're both running for Congress, which is pretty exciting.

You're going to have a pretty interesting election in November, assuming we have elections

in November, and they also have to get through primary.

So they're going to be talking about that. Robbie Jones is here. It is the third Wednesday
