From neglect to respected, cleaning the block!

Added: 2026-05-20

[00:00:03]Good morning. Good morning, beautiful people.

[00:00:08]It's another day to get after it with Clean the Block.

[00:00:12]I'm excited to knock out this last little bit here in South Acres, uh, Houston, Texas. So, for those who are new to this channel, new to this page, we're clean the block, clean up legal dumping every single day. Um, I'm out here with Travis again. This is his neighborhood. You know, he got started already and we're just going to beautify it as much as we can. So, I'm just going to do a little prep and hang with you guys. And in the meantime, got, you know, clean and block truck in the back.

[00:00:47]Today, we're going to do some light weed whacking just to expose some trash. And then we're going to move on to actually picking the trash up. So definitely let me know where you all are from. We're here in Houston, Texas. Um, you know, this is volunteer non forprofit. So we do it all for all for our community, all because nobody else is going to do it. And we can't keep waiting on the government to do some of the small maintenance things. So we're tackling it every single day, 8 in the morning till 9:00 a.m.

[00:01:21]Want to get involved? Come join us. If you're far away, drop some comments. you know, I think that helps the most.

[00:01:28]Outside of that, you know, let's get started.

[00:01:32]You know, definitely curious to know if if you all have similar issues. So, this is just a beautiful park. A beautiful park, but it's a lot of small trash that gets washed into the water. If we can tackle it from this point before it gets to that water, then then we can um we can save a lot of issues. So, we're in South Acres pretty much trying to trying to wrap up this area that has this slight illegal dumping. It's consistent. It's annoying.

[00:02:09]So, we want to get this solved, you know, ASAP.

[00:02:13]This crab is coming out the sunny side all the time. And, you know, we need to make sure we support each other, not just on our one individual challenges.

[00:02:23]Ohio. Which part of Ohio? I'm actually from I'm not gonna say I'm from Columbus, Ohio, but I actually grew up from kindergarten to 8th grade in the Columbus and Worthington area. Um, White Hall as well. So, I'm very familiar with Col with the Ohio area.

[00:02:43]Iowa. Okay, we love that.

[00:02:46]Never been to Iowa, but I do have a a cousin who played basketball. I think at Iowa State.

[00:02:56]Yeah, Beth. Just um you know, just doing our part. So, I like to get on here, you know, unfortunately, you know, to make sure that social media works. You know, we show up. I show up, talk on that camera, make sure you guys know what we're all about. Um then we get to work.

[00:03:15]So, I got this thing in the back of me like, "Dang, I know Travis is back there at work, you know, and it's a it's eating me up a little bit, but we got to do our part." That's why I get here about five minutes early.

[00:03:30]We start at 8 a.m., so we don't start before that. Um, this is my prep time.

[00:03:35]Just to make sure everything is ready for anyone who does show up and wants to get involved. So, northeast. Okay. Youngstown. I'm familiar. Familiar a little bit. Um, uh, Cleveland area, Illinois.

[00:03:54]So, that's a little closer to home. Even though Illinois and um, Ohio are all kind of similar.

[00:04:01]I grew up I was born in Detroit. Hey, Alyssa. I was born in Detroit, moved to moved to Boston after college and ended up here in Houston, Texas. Just to give you guys a background as a wild question, you know, lock in, listen, listen up. Lock in. So, I moved to Houston, Texas right before co and during that time, give you background of why we're doing this cleaning up. During that time, I just started my real estate journey. And real estate, you know, we go into these areas, we take a lot. Um, a lot of people don't give back. So, I'm like, I don't want to be that investive that just takes from the community. I want to do something to give back. So, that led us to cleaning up a block.

[00:04:49]Literally starting with cleaning my block and and making sure my neighbors knew that I'm not just that that investor that comes and takes. So that started I I showed it on the internet, showed my community and that started the energy of other people who want to get joiners. So what went from a weekly clean for two hours to a monthly 4hour clean to finally daily we do about 45 minutes a day. So that's our mission right now. That's we're gonna get get started today. You see Travis in the back. keep doing weed whacking. I'm going to start weed whacking on the other side and then you know we're going to pick up the trash.

[00:05:34]So we do 45 minutes. I want you guys uh stay tuned in. Let's see. Look, they say trying to plug holes. I swear. What does that even mean? You're better man than me. No, you know, this is just my this is my mission. I'm sure we all have our lanes of of influence, you know. Always want to put it in perspective. This is my this is a challenge I solve. But you know, I don't there's other social causes that aren't really that close to me and that's what people focus on. Me, I'm focused on what I can do with my my sphere of influence and just go all in on that. So, y'all want to support, you know, dropping the comments is important. Sharing this this live so we can get more people on here. um checking out our t-shirt brand.

[00:06:25]Nobody's coming.

[00:06:29]So that's us literally solving our problems, you know, getting things done.

[00:06:33]So that's what y'all can do. Y'all can y'all can do your part if y'all want.

[00:06:37]Otherwise, we don't really wait for anything. We don't wait for the government to do anything. We don't complain. We don't call people out necessarily.

[00:06:46]Um we just do what we got to do. Now, I forgot my Life is good. You know, I'm thankful that life is good to to the extent of, you know, you know, I don't know. I'm strong enough to be out here financially, can support myself, and I'm able to battle life's challenges and understand that things are going to be okay eventually. So, >> to that extent, life is good. Life is same with everybody. You know, we all batting sens how we handle that battle. Hey, let's keep it consistent. But I'm handling it pretty decent right now and I'm thankful that I'm able to handle it because life is not easy, you know. But that's a whole different rant.

[00:07:36]Oh man. Yeah, I think the service is bad out here unfortunately.

[00:07:41]Thanks, Phantom.

[00:07:44]So, unfortunate service isn't the greatest, but we're going to work with what we can. Hey, Travis, are you leaving these tall plants?

[00:07:52]>> Yeah, some flowers.

[00:07:54]>> Okay.

[00:07:54]>> Unless you want to take them.

[00:07:57]>> All right, we're leaving them.

[00:08:00]All right. All right. So, this is where I'm about to work. I'm going work here in the back leaving the sunflowers.

[00:08:14]We ain't cracking. So, I'm going give you an update in 10 minutes.

[00:08:19]Come back to y'all in 10 minutes. But yeah, definitely stay tuned. Y'all want to support, drop a like, drop a comment, help us grow this page because the more y'all support, the more sponsors we get and the more we can do. So, right now, two man show for today. Two we whackers, trash bag, and some pickers. It gets job, you know. I don't like all that sweat up in my eyes start to turn.

[00:08:53]Let's see.

[00:10:07]See, I don't know what it is. Maybe I'm not string it right.

[00:10:17]Definitely already out of string or already came loose. Crap in the hat.

[00:10:56]So, time to hang with y'all again, you know, cuz I thought this wasn't a lot of grass, but it definitely already took out my strings, so got to get a little bit more. But yeah, since we got a good 200 people in here, where y'all joining in from, you know, as you can see, what my first goal was, expose this area. So now we can actually get back there. Look at all the trash that was buried underneath. You know, with that being buried like that, we couldn't get to it easily. So I'm actually going to probably get the weed whacker, not the weed whacker, the trimmer, be able to get some of that as well. But without exposing it, we can't get the trash like we want.

[00:11:37]So, I'm going to get some more some more string and get back to work. So, that was about 10 minutes, actually. So, that's some great work.

[00:11:47]Hey, that's all I know is follow through. I set a plan. I get very aggressive with some plans. And I'm I'm okay with failure. I think that's what I'm most fortunate and thankful for.

[00:11:58]There's nothing that failure failure doesn't scare me. I've had so much of it as we all have. um trying things, getting out of my comfort zone that it is what it is at this point. I know there's a lot of life left and when it's not a life left, a lot of life left.

[00:12:16]Shoot, hey, I could be thinking about it. But so much time to bounce back from this that it don't scare me.

[00:12:31]Like I want to share with you guys.

[00:12:32]You're actually going to be the first people I tell on this. There are two locations that are just crazy amount of dump illegal dump. Like unbelievable.

[00:12:42]And the city comes in Queens. You know, that's why people still dump. But I want to really shock the I want to go out there people and clean it because I'm a firm believer that people do care.

[00:13:04]They just don't think other people care.

[00:13:06]And if I continuously show that there are a group of people here that don't want to see this happen, you know, someone's going to step up and say, "Hey, stop. Hey, don't do that." And that's all we're trying to get to. We're trying to get to that point.

[00:13:23]>> We're not truly trying to just solve illegal dumping by us cleaning it.

[00:13:26]Obviously, that's kind of kind of naive, but we are going to be the ones showing that we care. We care and that we're not going to just sit back and watch it happen.

[00:13:41]So, yeah, definitely hopefully y'all can stay stay uh stay tapped in with us on a long part of this journey and just see see us cut to the end.

[00:13:53]I need one more bit of string so I can get back to work.

[00:14:03]All right. So, for all the new folks who join, let me know where y'all are from.

[00:14:06]Do y'all have an illegal dumping issue in your community? Um, this is Houston, Texas. Yo, what up, Cody?

[00:14:15]>> Yo, this is Houston, Texas, and we have serious illegal dumping issue out here.

[00:14:21]See, I did have string, but it just came off for some. So, I don't know what I have to do. I'm still figuring out the string thing, but I need to make sure this thing stops coming out, you know. So, we're up to 2,000 2,000 likes on Tik Tok. Come on now. Let's We can do better. Seven people on YouTube. I love it. It's all good. Anyway, pull it out. Let us see what dropped the Twitter. Pull it out right there. I mean, I don't know what you mean. I'm I'm pulling it out right now. So, no, don't get wild.

[00:14:55]Let's see. So, yeah, definitely. Looks like we got a flash goal, y'all. Let's hit this flash goal. I want to see us Washington State. Love that. So, we got a flash goal. 10 gifts. Send ice cream cones. Come on, y'all. 15 minutes. Let's see us make this happen. I want to see us actually hit one of these goals. I've never had it happen. I'm new to the goal stuff outside of my personal goals.

[00:15:17]Let's make that happen.

[00:15:20]I put a lot of string in this thing. I don't know why I'd be going out, but hey, just figuring it out every day.

[00:15:29]That's all I'm doing. Just figuring out life, figuring out our goals and objectives.

[00:15:36]We have a team planning meeting this afternoon. I might go live, show you guys what we're what we're thinking about doing in our long-term goals. So, that's at 7 PM. Anybody wants to tune in?

[00:15:51]We'll kind of treat it like maybe a town hall.

[00:15:57]You be getting into a bait spread. What is that?

[00:16:02]Okay.

[00:16:04]Hey, Windblue. Love it. Appreciate you throwing in that gift, you know. Let's hit let's hit this goal. We got one of one of those ice cream cones. We need more. Let's get more in there.

[00:16:18]Okay, it's something funny. But shoot, clearly I don't like it and I don't think I want to talk about it. All right, Philly in the house.

[00:16:30]So, yeah. Damn, Travis over there working. Working.

[00:16:35]How it tastes after you get home from a long day of work. Okay. I mean, I had a barbecue last night, so that's what you're talking about. You know, I'm I'm going to stop talking to you. Do you work with different organizations? We work with any organization that wants to give back. So, I encourage all organizations to tap in with us because obviously we're trying to, you know, make significant payments and we can't do it by ourselves. Our monthly event host about 100 to 200 people each time and we have at least three to four organizations that join us on those monthly events.

[00:17:12]So, if you want to um you know, get involved, please do because we're definitely definitely looking to get it done. You about to about to cut grass?

[00:17:22]Oh, yeah. We about to cut some grass.

[00:17:23]You know, my guy Travis is already over there getting it done.

[00:17:29]Now, I got to step in and help him out.

[00:17:32]Close the doors.

[00:17:36]Boom.

[00:17:41]Okay, that's what I'm talking about, Cody. Yeah, you know, so Cody can vouch for us. You know what our what our monthly events look like. Um, this one is going to have about 50 to 60 people anticipating, even though I haven't actually told anyone about it yet, but it's definitely going to have it's going to be a lighter crowd. Um, so we can anticipate really big June team.

[00:18:06]So, I'll check in with you guys in the next 10 minutes. Time for me to lock in.

[00:18:14]All right, Sav. I think you can switch gears. Start getting this trash. I'll knock this out. Let me know if you see some sunflowers I should avoid.

[00:18:23]>> Yeah. Let me You want me to show you real quick?

[00:18:31]Uh, so there's just a couple here. Here.

[00:18:34]>> Oh, yeah. I'm stay away from the outside >> here. I seen that one.

[00:18:38]>> Uh, leave these. These are negative.

[00:18:41]>> Okay. I'm going to stay I'm just going to be over this way. So, this is the only one you noticed.

[00:18:45]>> Yeah.

[00:18:46]>> All right. Are you You're not coming this way. All right.

[00:18:49]>> I am always to all the way to the trees.

[00:19:02]>> Okay. That way. Yeah. Yeah. You're good.

[00:19:04]>> All right.

[00:19:06]So yeah, I'll say grab those trash bins.

[00:19:08]You can you can start back here and I'mma I'mma finish over here. I'mma finish this grass.

[00:20:26]Is it?

[00:21:54]And I think it's so much faster than mine, >> right? You know, I figured like, let me just hop back over here. You know, we can split this back up. Hey, what y'all think about that? We put in work? I don't think so.

[00:22:06]Go over this one more time. There's not much trash over here.

[00:22:16]You know, it's funny because I have some Black & Deckers. That's the same thing as your I thought I was doing so much until I got this thing, you know, and we got like seven of them. And it don't compare to using one of these.

[00:22:28]This thing is fun to use. I'm going to lie.

[00:22:56]Thank you.

[00:23:06]All right, y'all.

[00:23:33]Phase one complete. Get to cleaning.

[00:23:38]So, hey, I appreciate we got 14 people and 15 people. I love it. Love it. So, now we're going to get to actually doing the cleaning dance. Oh, yeah. That pile got remember.

[00:23:55]I think it got me on my arm a little bit.

[00:24:14]Well, I'm glad it's a little bit better, you know. And I just need a reminder. I need to get an actual Wi-Fi uh Wi-Fi thing because we're kind of in the I say the boondock, but we're like in a wooded area. I don't think they really have good service out here. But right now it's doing okay.

[00:24:34]I appreciate it. So, good morning, Mary.

[00:24:36]So, yeah, definitely this is a start.

[00:24:39]We're about to get in here and pick up this trash for the next 20 minutes. So, um definitely let me know where y'all from. Again, we do this completely free.

[00:24:48]Travis typically plants a lot of trees, a lot of flowers, you know, after we do something. But, you know, like the church said, nobody's coming to save us. So, we're just solving our problems every day. So, if y'all want to support that, grab a shirt. It's on our website, cleanabblock.org.

[00:25:05]It's in our bio as well. Um, or if you just want to throw some donation, all that stuff's helpful, you know, to get us more equipment, um, more tools and more trash bags. So, I'm going to get back to work. We got We're almost at 10,000 likes on TikTok, so let's make that happen. It's actually get 20,000. Um, and yeah, y'all see I don't need these no more.

[00:25:31]Get that trash bag.

[00:25:34]You got pickers already? You need them?

[00:25:36]I'm going go grab some I plan to get a little insane uh over the next couple weeks. I um there's these two areas that are very not smart to go clean as far as Yeah, >> it's going to get dirty the next day.

[00:26:16]Like, holy smoking is huge.

[00:26:21]Holy [ __ ] >> man.

[00:26:25]>> That's the biggest thing I've ever heard.

[00:26:27]>> Me, too.

[00:26:30]>> I just ran and my ate my chili just got hurt.

[00:26:35]>> Holy hell.

[00:26:36]>> Goodness.

[00:26:36]>> That thing was massive.

[00:26:40]>> Police like three feet, four feet.

[00:26:45]>> Oh man.

[00:26:45]>> He's like, "Excuse me."

[00:26:48]Goodness, that hurt so bad.

[00:26:53]Well, he definitely left, but shoot.

[00:26:56]Damn.

[00:26:59]Oh, you all right?

[00:27:03]No. Oh, man. Ouch. Man, I wish I could show y'all.

[00:27:10]Sheesh. I think it's more like a stinger hurt.

[00:27:14]Well, damn >> chat, what y'all think? Yeah, be careful. Understatement.

[00:27:21]It was just a three three-foot snake that we don't know type. And you know, it wasn't a rattlesnake, but it was definitely brown. It was light brown and scary looking and it moved very fast.

[00:27:35]And y'all don't know, but like I had an injury on Monday and or yeah, I had an injury on Monday. My Achilles And it was healing this morning.

[00:27:46]They say leave or >> race.

[00:27:52]There's so much back here.

[00:27:55]>> We can but can't lie. We always have that risk of snakes. There's just stuff that we have to think about bigger.

[00:28:04]We can tackle with the risk. stay in the exposed area and just rake from far away. Y'all think that's a good idea? We got 20 minutes.

[00:28:16]We're going to grab a snake. I still haven't been back in three weeks because hilarious snakes in my backyard, but that >> not that big.

[00:28:28]>> That was that really like crunch my >> man. It was closer to you. I just seen the slither.

[00:28:38]Yeah, you know, out of sight, out of mind. But once you see it, you know, that's that fierce creeping in.

[00:28:49]Oh, okay. Hey, no worries. I appreciate you attempting. Yeah, you know that was that was a little scary. Can't lie. I'm the most scary kind of person in real life. So, >> I literally just ran for my life even though I'm really on one leg and I shouldn't be running.

[00:29:08]That's okay.

[00:29:13]Oh, man. So, we're back at it. We ain't quitting. That sc that snake ain't going to scare us away. You know, it did a little bit though, but we ain't no pumps.

[00:29:23]Well, let me take that part back, too.

[00:29:26]That snake definitely can have it. I ain't messing with it. But we ain't going to run away. We just going to give it this space.

[00:29:35]Here we go. Here you go. Travis, let's see if I can find it again. Oh no.

[00:29:44]That thing left. Left. Well, you said please.

[00:29:52]Super extreme off.

[00:29:56]I want to see it.

[00:29:58]>> I would love to see it, too.

[00:30:26]and this is where they all be at in these like piles like this. Definitely where they be at.

[00:30:37]That's what you know I'mma Google what cotton mouth look like because from what I'm thinking and being in Texas I kind of agree.

[00:30:48]All right. What's the game plan? We can come back here tomorrow. But I think we do rake it out and make it easy for tomorrow.

[00:30:56]>> We spend time raking it, getting it right here and uh and yeah, exposing today. Focus on exposing everything.

[00:31:10]So we can spread it out nice and easy.

[00:31:12]Then it'll be easy to pick up.

[00:31:15]And then on Saturday, spend time on a beast.

[00:31:20]Oh, that's what I was about to say. I think I >> um so there's these abandoned stores, right?

[00:31:28]One of them they actually tore down. Um, ever since they tore it down, the illegal dumping went 5x increased like crazy.

[00:31:38]I know they picked it up randomly, but their freedom goes up. The bigger the better when it comes to the social media stuff. So, I say we go literally tackle the baddest of the bad. And even if it takes five days, if all of them happen, it's going to help with social media.

[00:31:56]And it's going to be like, "Wow, these people, regular people are literally cleaning up." And I think this is where insanity comes in. I think they're going to be like, "Man, let's monitor and make sure this doesn't keep happening so this this Goofy doesn't keep cleaning up."

[00:32:11]You know, it has to you have to look good and goofy for someone be like, "Man, that is so stupid. Let me go help you."

[00:32:19]And Like these ones in the bounds, they don't get as much dumping consistently.

[00:32:25]Like I have some communities where it's it's been nice ever since we cleaned it a year ago >> cuz people just don't come back there.

[00:32:33]>> But this is the main road. The main road high activity. So look at this. I thought it's the one.

[00:32:47]I I just saw another one, but it was tiny.

[00:33:00]>> Cutting up some of this grass or stuff.

[00:33:03]>> I don't even know.

[00:33:06]>> Well, we got the trimmer.

[00:33:26]Rats for sure. Rats are scary. I don't like to see those either. But snakes, I need to see them from afar.

[00:33:37]Well, luckily in that situation, I was actually pretty far away. But spread this out a little bit more.

[00:34:10]Got to be ugly before we get it clean.

[00:34:17]Sh.

[00:34:27]What y'all think about our plan though?

[00:34:29]the plan to tackle the worst ugliest area that has the highest traffic knowing that the toate that same day.

[00:34:42]Will that help shift the mindset of the people around you like, "Hey, that's our neighbor. We know him.

[00:34:49]We don't want him to have to keep dealing with this."

[00:34:53]Sounds good in and movies, huh? But hey, I like Disney, so we're gonna make it work.

[00:35:00]>> It happen Disney can happen here.

[00:35:15]We're like real life. What is that called?

[00:35:21]Actually out here with is a little more comfortable.

[00:35:42]So it's a little flat spread out a little bit more.

[00:36:01]Like where this is our version of LA. LA has to take super precautions when it comes to meetups. They don't get their hands in stuff like that.

[00:36:11]>> Yeah. Which I didn't think about until I started watching LAS.

[00:36:16]But we don't really get that. But we do have to be cautious of like our needles are rusting nail.

[00:36:28]>> Yeah, that >> no that was the biggest by far and that literally just changed my whole perspectives on these fingers. Anything that's uh crowded like this, no way I'm getting close to you to the left or to the right.

[00:36:53]I'll forget about tomorrow, but today extra caution spreading out more around.

[00:37:02]Okay, now this is the beast you're talking about. This ain't no dope.

[00:37:07]Yesterday was like had a kid.

[00:37:19]And this isn't even one where we can have five to 10 people cuz it's such a small space.

[00:37:25]These people are being away.

[00:37:39]That's how I feel. That's where the habitat at, right? No, they're actually they're there, but they're actually inside the mounds just hiding. Every time we move a big mound, something comes out. Huh?

[00:37:54]I can't believe this thing like a three to four foot.

[00:37:58]It was probably one and a half feet.

[00:38:28]Oh, where is that?

[00:39:00]It's so close to the ground.

[00:39:03]It's not like that.

[00:39:34]What we thought was a light clean has been a top 10, top 15 clean, especially with two people.

[00:39:44]This ain't no one and a half day job.

[00:39:47]This might be what we tackle on Saturday.

[00:39:52]>> Oh, there it is.

[00:39:54]>> You see it?

[00:39:54]>> Yeah. Yeah. Get >> Oh, man.

[00:40:01]Where? Right here.

[00:40:04]>> Don't Don't move yet. Don't move yet.

[00:40:06]>> I don't see it's in I gota be on a different angle.

[00:40:14]under it.

[00:40:16]>> Oh man.

[00:40:17]>> Can you move it?

[00:40:19]>> Yeah, you can move it cuz I don't want to close. Has it moved?

[00:40:24]>> He's under this.

[00:40:29]God, please protect me right now.

[00:40:33]I want to see it. I really don't.

[00:40:36]I'm not in a good position to move.

[00:40:39]But there's a >> I see it moving.

[00:40:42]>> Look.

[00:40:42]>> Oh my goodness.

[00:40:43]>> There it is.

[00:40:43]>> And that's different.

[00:40:45]>> Oh, there's two right there.

[00:40:50]>> That one's on top of another one. Oh, no. That's the same one.

[00:40:53]>> No, it's different color.

[00:40:55]>> No, it's just the top is different.

[00:40:58]>> Look how long it is. It's five. It's four feet plus.

[00:41:01]>> All right. Well, we good for the day, you know.

[00:41:06]Hey y'all.

[00:41:10]Oh man, did y'all see that?

[00:41:13]Did y'all see that snake?

[00:41:15]>> Tell us what that is.

[00:41:17]>> Did y'all see it? And can y'all tell us what it is? Cuz right now it was like it was black small. That was definitely a different snake.

[00:41:25]>> Think >> a thousand%. It was a lot lighter. Like that one is dark. The one I It was bigger too. The first one was bigger. I thought, but maybe I just panicked >> and it ran this way. That one didn't even realize we were here.

[00:41:42]>> Yeah, we definitely got a We got a monkey all flat burrowing underneath.

[00:41:51]And no, that was a second one. That was the second one, y'all. Snakes. No, thank you.

[00:41:57]Amen to that.

[00:42:04]See, I'm hanging with you guys.

[00:42:07]Hey, there's times where we all can be weak and it's okay. Today is one of them. Travis is doing his thing and being a rock star. We appreciate him for that.

[00:42:23]>> I'm keeping this.

[00:42:25]Was that 8:40?

[00:42:28]>> All right.

[00:42:30]Um, so anyway, I think anyway you can go to the to the right and I pull this stuff.

[00:42:41]I want to just flatten this out some more so they don't just relocate.

[00:42:59]That was cute. What we did yesterday?

[00:43:02]>> That was real cute.

[00:43:03]>> I know. I fell back. I was like, man, I got him to come out here. We picked up like three things, >> right? I mean, we got Yeah, we got a couple bags, but man, this is >> And trust me, deep down, I want all the claims to be like yesterday.

[00:43:22]>> Yeah.

[00:43:23]>> Right. understanding what really matters in two worlds, online and impact.

[00:43:31]You know, [ __ ] this is going to get us the exposure we need.

[00:43:40]And this was never going to get touched.

[00:43:43]Never.

[00:43:46]This is this is stuff that really really makes a difference.

[00:43:57]This is honestly if we were able to spread this out, this would be a great Saturday with five people. Yeah. Like once we do this hard part I'm going straight wish and go look at that video on that snake.

[00:44:42]>> I promise I'm going to do that. I'll I'll send you a message and find it.

[00:44:46]>> Yeah, that was Wow.

[00:45:17]Coconut.

[00:45:29]Guess I got to keep moving back, y'all.

[00:45:32]We're exposing so much trash. It's unreal. Two more minutes, y'all.

[00:45:37]Yeah. Seriously, I'm letting Travis be the man right now. I usually don't like punking out like this. Hey, somebody's got to be great every different day. And today is not my day, you know. So Travis is scooping it out for us and I'm coming in and bring it spreading out even more.

[00:45:58]Unfortunately, expected I hate leaving it looking like this.

[00:47:11]Good call.

[00:47:14]This is good.

[00:47:15]>> Yeah.

[00:47:18]Good for what we trying to do.

[00:47:24]I wanted to pick up that snake with that stick, but >> Oh, yeah. That would have been nice if we had one of these.

[00:47:32]>> Yeah, like a extendo.

[00:47:35]>> Yeah.

[00:47:38]Hey y'all, we did amazing work. Um, >> uncovering everything.

[00:47:43]as well that >> this is the one of the first days where I say we came and made it look worse, you know, but it's only going to be worse for a day cuz we're going to knock all this out and it's going to be looking amazing. So y'all stay tuned.

[00:48:13]We battle two snakes.

[00:48:16]We battle geese.

[00:48:20]I got some in the car. So again, support in your own way. Um, super thanks, gifts, sharing, or the ultimate best part, coming back tomorrow on a stream at 8 a.m. or coming out with us. you know, we need all the help we can get, but at the end of the day, we're going to work until that help comes, you know, because we rely heavily on the community. We know the community is out there who wants to be part of this change, and we're just going to stay consistent until that happens. But I'm going to let y'all go. We're going to get out of here. I love the timing. So, later. And we almost got to that 20,000.

[00:48:54]So, actually, I'mma stay on y'all get us to that 20,000 like mark. Let's make that happen. So, we're done wrapping up with the camera stuff. you mind grabbing some of these tools for me?

[00:49:07]So, no, come on y'all. Let's let's let's stick to it. Happy Thursday. Let me just remind y'all this is a community-driven not forprofit.

[00:49:17]We are all giving our time, energy, resources >> to give back to the community, >> right? It's like, you know, all we're looking to do is expand and grow social media. That's my role in this. My role is to stay consistent and be on social media, but everyone, we have at least five to 10 people with different roles and we need to support that any way we can.

[00:49:42]again. Whether that's you guys showing up, consisting for us, you all liking it, sharing it, whatever your version that is, if you believe in our mission, I'm not, you know, we ain't no Jehovah's Witness, going door todo, preaching anything, uh, selling anything. We have t-shirts for sale, but we're not forcing anybody or or begging anyone to do anything. We want to connect with all the people who believe in this kind of mission. We want those people to tap in and give their time. You know, we are building what we call a business like non forprofit where people who come in, you know, team members, now this isn't anything else, and they find their skill set and amplify it through us. For example, if you are good at sales and you want to sell our t-shirts and you want to push this mission, you come get an arm of it.

[00:50:37]We we we feed our people first. So t-shirts are 60% for the volunteers and I'm not included in the volunteer pool.

[00:50:46]Um 20% operations, 10% to the person who's operating actually manning it, aka, you know, they're the CEO of it.

[00:50:55]And then like 3% go to me.

[00:50:58]Um any donations, 70% to the mission.

[00:51:02]And when I say mission, I'm talking big time. I'm talking what are our long-term goals?

[00:51:09]and how we accomplish it. Long-term goals is buying up these fancy lots that nobody want that nobody came up and turning them into what the communities what has single family homes, what have commercial buildings, what has grocery store like the whole nine yards. That's our 10 to 12 15 plan year plan.

[00:51:34]But it starts here. We start with showing up every single day, doing our part. So, man, come on. 200 more likes.

[00:51:41]Look at that. You ask and you shall receive. Let's get 200 more likes, you know, for the mission, for this movement to really just uh lock this in. And we're going to shut it down for the day and get up out of here. Be careful.

[00:51:53]Never know what's under that. So, Mary, so that's what we actually did today. We realized that those scary snakes, the ones that bite you, you probably lose an arm. We realized they were heavy in that trash in those piles. So, we just uncovered everything. It don't look pretty. It don't look nice, but we uncovered it for us to come back tomorrow and be able to easily pick it up, you know, without worrying about something biting us. So, there's steps to it. We only work for 45 minutes. We have jobs. We have lives. We have to do what we got to do. But, we make sure we give back a little bit every single day.

[00:52:28]And that's our way of doing it. So, come on y'all. We hit that 20,000 like mark.

[00:52:32]I appreciate everybody on Tik Tok.

[00:52:34]Appreciate everybody on on YouTube.

[00:52:36]Again, we'll be back here 8:00 a.m.

[00:52:38]tomorrow. Um, I'm going to drop this live, you know, so you can see it later.

[00:52:42]But, you know, I appreciate everybody doing their part. We're going to do our part here on the ground and I'll catch y'all later.

[00:52:57]Got to be. Appreciate you, Cory. I'll catch you next time. Appreciate everyone else. Later.
