All the sins known to man are were in our family . We started out with a dad who came back from Vietnam , who was a drug user , an alcoholic , and our mom was Cherokee Indian and she was born of 11 , well , well , there were 13 of them , but one died when they were little and they were all very wild . I mean , you think of Indians in the movies ?
Okay , that's how they were , okay , yeah .
Faith and Failure's podcast . What's up , guys . Welcome back to another episode of Faith and Failures . Today I have with me a group of two ladies that are excited to share their story and to talk about their ministry it's called Hales Angels . A little bit of backstory . I have a few questions for y'all Now . I've talked with y'all .
I've talked with you more than I have you personally , because , by proxy , you are Right , I'm married . We're both grafted into the Right family . We're both married , but y'all seem very close . Like I saw , we were swimming at your house and you came over . It's like who's ? that they look like they're related . Oh , that's your sister .
Y'all just like we're in your own little world talking to each other . As a fourth , have y'all always been that way ?
No , no , so I thought we had been Well . I mean , I think when mom died there was a little bit of a separation period time , but I think that's what brought us closer together , because our mom died . So , I was the youngest and I relied on her .
So now were you the mom . Is that why it brought you closer together , like in it ?
No , I mean she always felt like she was the parent , but she didn't ever really parent me .
Okay .
Because she was married off with my mom . I do still parent her now . Well , she tries to get old . That don't work out . So I got it . You even call me mom sometimes . That's because it aggravated her .
Jesse has that she was making the sisters and the brother write sentences and say I will not do this and I will not do that . That was Jesse's job , apparently , and they still talk about it to this day .
Yeah , yeah . So we've just been very close to last probably 25 years , I think . That went through a period of rebellion and I couldn't bring Jesus with me , right , you know ? Because you know , but Jesus chased her to those places . Yeah , he did , he did .
Now are y'all the only two siblings , or are there more of y'all ?
We have two brothers . Well , we had two brothers . Our oldest of all of us . He passed away three years ago , Years ago .
I knew it was pretty soon , not too long ago , yes . So were y'all close as a family , like all of y'all growing up , or was it y'all that were the closest , or was everybody kind of equal in that department ?
No , we were close at all .
Oh really .
No , we were . Well , you get to understand this is what I was gonna say the other day at church was we were ? I was born into the perfect family , and what I mean by that is the perfect family for me , right , because we had yeah , we had all the sins known to man or were in our family .
We started out with a dad who came back from Vietnam , who was a drug user and an alcoholic , and our mom was Cherokee Indian and she was one of 11 , 13 , well , there was 13 of them , but one died when they were little and they were all very wild . I mean , you think of Indians in the movies ?
Okay , that's how they were okay , yeah , yeah , I mean , yeah , scalping , fighting . You know , our mom actually has . We actually have a photo album that we take and we go and speak and we pass our photo album around and it's all the mugshots of all of our family that's been in jail , because that's where we get it . Well , album full of them .
Yes , our mom , our dad , our brothers I was full my sons , my three sons . Yes , she's only one that hadn't been to jail and she keeps wanting to , but she's scared . I'm too scared to go . It's all my bucket wins . But I had that . She wants to be in the album . So bad . Now I've had to say it . I have said it inside the whole thing .
That doesn't count . It was a tour . It was a tour , we were going to a tour . Yeah , I didn't listen to this guy down in the middle of the stuff . I can't count this . No , that doesn't count . Yeah , anyway , and I'm on the cover because me and my cousin I don't think they should count either of that .
That's like the famous people in magazines , like they make the cover .
Yes , I made the cover At the age of four . Me and my cousin went to rob the bank and we got picked up by the police . An actual bank , yes , an actual bank . And so that tells you a little bit where we came from .
The mindset yeah , I mean the age of four , as long as you still made the cover that's like keep on like a little picture there and stuff it all . Yeah , I mean just bad of the bad . You know , in our town that we grew up in , how big was the town ?
I always think it's small , I think it was like I think at the time where we were being raised there it was like 29,000 . Some odd , yeah , was the population . But our mom's family , they were like the mafia of that town , Like everybody knew them . Everybody knew not to jack with them .
You know we hear stories about our mom was like the toughest woman that anybody had ever seen . She would go in bars and fist fight men , and so Isn't that fun . Well , she was going in there to get , she was going in there to get my dad drag my dad out , and so she's fighting everybody in the in the . It gets in her way .
But people knew , yeah , when she would come into the bar . Yeah , you know , when you , you watch those movies and I guess it's maybe the westerns , you know with John Wayne and that type of thing where he but why are you , why are you watching movies ? Quotes , you don't even know about movies , I know , but I'm , I'm trendy . You know what I'm saying .
I'm trying to cause so much . What's up , boys ? I'm trying to get me started . I'm trying to get me started . Yeah , I'm just going to take that time . That's just a movie . Okay , she's a job bird , but it's well . I mean , I went with mom once you know the plan to go get my dad . Look , my fours birthday party was in the bar .
This is true , we have a picture of that . Yes , my fours birthday party was in the bar . Yeah , it was only family , but I but our aunt actually owned that bar . Yeah , and I don't know why we had the party there , but anyway , I guess cause they could drink and they had none of your friends could come . No , All the cousins were there .
We got 115 , leaving cousins just on my mom's side . Now , that's the last time we counted , yeah , when I , which was five or six years ago . Yeah , so I can remember going , my mom going with my mom one night and her saying , uh , you stay in the car . So it's like , oh , okay , Well , I mean , when she pulled that car up , is it the front door ?
I mean it was right , but it was like she , you know , sleep in , sleep in this West Texas of dirt's going everywhere . Oh , yes , Can you imagine that I mean this , this is a movie going on in my mind .
No , no , Anyway , so she , you know , bust in the door , you know , and like I thought I'm gonna go in , you know , I mean , you know , I went in and I mean , it was like you know , the Red Sea parting . Yeah , that's what it was like . Well , now , mom was like like we don't look like our mom , we look like our dad .
