1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: What's it's a lip service. I'm Angela Ye, I'm g

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: g McGuire. I'm Lauri, y'all, and we have a new

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: beyond lip service. Uh, I guess this is where I'm

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: supposed to introduce myself. Yeah, press off the press out

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: of the valley, back on the West coast, Tyler level,

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: that's a nice you have. Yeah. Oh this I just

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: I just threw it on. You know, now, Tyler, you

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: have such an interesting story to me, because it's not

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: like you. Your whole life was like one day I'm

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: going to be an actor, and that's not how things

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: happened for you know. So, um, you know my uh,

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, my way into the game was a little

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: bit unorthodox for sure. Um. I came up right outside

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: of Philly. I went through a string of failures. Um

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna be you know, playing football on

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: Sunday in the NFL. Didn't work out like that, you know,

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: But I learned a lot. I learned a lot from

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: those losses. But you know, when I went through the

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: string of losses, I moved out West just because I

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to start fresh. I was about twenty

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: three when I graduated from college and Uh, I came

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: out West and actually I kind of just found my

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: way into the gym. My cousin was a boxer, so

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: I was just hanging around the gym and um, you know,

25
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: if I'm I got a person kind of finessed a

26
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: personal training job and then, um, you know LA is

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: very saturated. Yeah, l A is very saturated with people

28
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: in the business. So you know, just hanging around it

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: for a few months, probably like maybe months two or three.

30
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: Someone had to after the audition, Um, this is probably

31
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: about ten audition for something small, and this is about

32
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: ten years ago. Um, but I booked that role and

33
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: that was kind of the start of me being intrigued

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: by something new. So you know, at that point I

35
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: started to apply myself. You know, I got the head

36
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: shots for myself into an acting class and you know,

37
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: you did the initial steps that actors try to, you know,

38
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: do And ten years later, this is what I've been Um,

39
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, this is what I've been applying myself to

40
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: and this this is my passion. I found it in

41
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: an unorthodox way though. Sure. I actually found out that

42
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: you was involved in the box and after you called

43
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: out oh boy, that knocked out Nate Robinson, Jake Paul,

44
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: I really would love to see you knock him out.

45
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: What do we have to do, what we have to

46
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: do to make that happen, Like if there a petition

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: we could sign and you better knock him out because

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: that would be awful. I'm doing this for p Valley

49
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: and then now it's the TI Challenge. No, no, you

50
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: ain't gotta worry about that. But I'm listen. If there

51
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: is a petition, I'll be we'll we'll be the first

52
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: to sign to us for right here. So but um, yeah, man,

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, I uh, for for whatever reason, you know,

54
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't really articulated, but for whatever reason, I ain't

55
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: like what I saw, you know what I mean? And

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, to see him, to see him do that.

57
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: First of all, I gotta give my hats off to

58
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: both both of those men. You know. I guess we

59
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: can call them fighters, even though they're not professional fighters,

60
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: but they're they're they're stepping in the ring as if

61
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: they are, So hats off to them for doing that.

62
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: But it's like when you know the game, you know,

63
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: if that was a sanction about that would never go down, right.

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: You don't have heavyweights fighting middleweights you know what I mean.

65
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: But but because this is like a YouTube type of

66
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: thing and no one's really gonna check Jake doing that.

67
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: You know, they're just in it for the money that

68
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: they allowed it to go down. But you know, me

69
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: being a part of that sport and having the background

70
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: to go ahead and do that, Um, you know, I

71
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 1: think I think he needs to pick on someone who

72
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: likes to fight back, someone who wants to you know

73
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, stepping there and ice him real quick,

74
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: so you know, you know, you know what's funny. Though

75
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: I was popping, I was popping my uh hold on,

76
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: we allowed to we allowed to be ourselves. We have

77
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: the curse. I was popping my ship the other day,

78
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I had noticed that he came

79
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: out maybe a few days after he started calling everybody out.

80
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: You know, I had noticed. I didn't noticed he didn't

81
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: call he didn't call me out. If he's smart, if

82
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: he's smart, he'll just let it go because you know,

83
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: if he sees the dollar signs and steps into the ring,

84
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: he might uh, he might see his first loss. I

85
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: don't know, as he lost yet. I feel like he's

86
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: been doing this for a little bit now. He only

87
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: like four fights, I think, But I believed you when

88
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: whatever you said you was gonna do, I believe. You know.

89
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: The thing is I got I got the family, like

90
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: the boxing camp that would help me for pairing for that.

91
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: I think where those people get into trouble is that

92
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: they don't take it seriously. You see what I'm saying.

93
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen a little bit of Nate Robinson's camp,

94
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 1: and he kind of, you know, he he didn't look

95
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: like he was really prepared to go in there, you

96
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I don't want to put

97
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: it all on him. It's really it's really the camp's

98
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: job to get the fight already. So one thing that

99
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with is, you know, having again, you know,

100
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: the cousins of the family, having the boxing camp to

101
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: really prepare me for something like that, you know, outside

102
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: of what I'm you know, normally ready to do anyway.

103
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: But you know, he wouldn't understanding how long three minutes

104
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: is until you're three minutes trying to fight and stand

105
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: up in the ring. Yeah, it's a it's a really

106
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: tough it's a really tough sport. That's why they always

107
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, they have that saying, you know, you play basketball,

108
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: you played football, you're gonna play boxing? Yeah you don't. Yeah,

109
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: some thing about when you were a personal trainer. To

110
00:04:50,040 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: flash back to that question that has to happen, right,

111
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask how many women would hire you

112
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: just because they look good? Yeah, you know that's not

113
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: that's not for me to say because I don't really know.

114
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: I never asked them. But here's what I did notice.

115
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: I didn't notice that about probably like of my clients

116
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: were it was it was a female base. Um, but

117
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: that was but that was for me. But that was

118
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: also like even if I look at you know, I

119
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: was mentioned to my cousin who's a boxing name is Leon.

120
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: He owns a few gems out here. They're called glove Works. Um,

121
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: he actually owns one in uh in New York too.

122
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: But even even the client base at the gym is like,

123
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: uh female. So it's like, you know, it's interesting something

124
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: of a sport like boxing, how it attracts like the

125
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: ladies like that. You know that there I see the

126
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: ladies in there kicking ass and whatnot. But you know,

127
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: to get back to your your question, it's probably like

128
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: nine of the uh my client base was female though,

129
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, knock a bitch out, so

130
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: that I used to do that thing for that purpose.

131
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: So I think women do that also because when I

132
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: did it, because I wanted to be able to defend

133
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: myself in case something happens, because you know, you walk

134
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: by yourself, somebody comes up on you, you gotta fight

135
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: somebody up. You want to at least know how you

136
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: are able to defend yourself. And I was way better

137
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: at me and J J. Mby did it together and

138
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: I was definitely way better than him. You know, I

139
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: got a lot of UM I have. I have lady friends,

140
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: and you know, say if we're um well pre COVID,

141
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: you know, back when we were all you know, if

142
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: we were out with something like that, or someone's going

143
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: to the car, you know, I would make sure they

144
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: get to their car, you know what I'm saying. Or

145
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: I would make sure they get out or in in

146
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: the venue properly. And you know, a lot of it

147
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: was just because of that, Like you know, I kind

148
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: of I kind of empathize and feel what Angelie was

149
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: talking about because you know, it's just it's just a

150
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: scary place out there. If you don't know how to

151
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: defend yourself, especially for um, you know, a woman like solo,

152
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: just you know, running around the world by itself. So

153
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: I I implore everybody to take a couple of lessons too,

154
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: because it's always nice to um. It's always a piece

210
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: early twenties. I went through this phase where I really

211
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: connected with white people and I had a connection I had.

212

245
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: as well as being an actress dancer, so um and

00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: with it was four girls and total who were actually

247
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,040

248
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that everything went the way it's

249
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: supposed to go. Um. I absolutely love everything about the show.

250
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: Y'all know that. Um, I was like O D obsessed

251
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: And it was wasn't just the fact that I'm a

252
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: former stripper and that my friends were acting on the show,

253
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: but it was really authentic. Um. A lot of people

254
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: were like, oh, that's not Atlanta strip clubs, but it

255
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be. It was Mississippi, you know, So

256
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: like the slang and and and everything, and the words

257
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: and everything that they used in the way that they

258
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: went about things um to me it was perfect, Like

259
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: it was really really really good And now I left

260
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: the show. But G G O D S Like when

261
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: I tell you every time I go to the house,

262
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: if I go to the house right now, the valley

263
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: is on it, I'm like, you're watching this again? She

264
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: watched She must have watched it fifty times. The who

265
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: I probably did. I probably did no cat yeah and

266
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: watched this new Yeah. I said. It wasn't for utility

267
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: to be castid on that show because obviously when you

268
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: were first filming it, you never know how successful something's

269
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: gonna be. No, yeah, I think you know, first of all,

270
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: it's a blessing to be to have a job, you

271
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We all know what it's like

272
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: to be to work in this entertainment industry. It's a

273
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: very fickle one. You know, sometimes you're hot, sometimes you're cold,

274
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, to have a steady job

275
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: is always a blessing. So it was. It was nice too.

276
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: It was nice to work. But I think, you know,

277
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: a show like this is probably something I would watch

278
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: even if I wasn't on it, you know what I mean.

279
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: It's really got, it's really got its thumb on the

280
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: post of our culture. So you know, I remember when

281
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: I got the call for it. I was, you know,

282
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: I was super excited because here I was being able

283
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: to work on something that was really it's it's very um,

284
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: it's very like deep difficult material, you know what I mean.

285
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: But those types of roles, that type of material is

286
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: what really you know, strengthens or or sharpens your tool

287
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: as an actor, right, you really get get to work

288
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: on your chops to call it. Um. So I was

289
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: really excited to do that. But it's also you know,

290
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: as exciting as it is, um, working on stuff like that,

291
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: it's like a daunting test, you know what I mean.

292
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: Like you just mentioned how you know authentic it is,

293
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: and that's uh, that's the really tip our hats to

294
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: the creator and the writer. Pury Hall. Now she's from Memphis, right, Um.

00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: She's also she also went to Juilliard, so she's also

296
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,280

297
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: of like academic with the way she she she um

300
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: doing it wrong. And if you and if you're not

301
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: getting it, you won't you won't be there, you know

302
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: what I mean. It was it was a very difficult.

303
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: I don't I mean everything is difficult when you go

304
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: in the audition room, but it was a very long

305
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: auditioning process, probably over a span of like five or

306
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: six months, maybe maybe going in the room six six,

307
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: seven times. You know what, I'm working on, working on

308
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: different things here and there, you know, um, and then

309
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: to and then to get that the dialect down, you

310
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Um, because even before we went

311
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: on set and we had dialect coaches, you still have

312
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: to try to go into the audition room and and

313
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: and still try to hit that twain and come Yeah.

314
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: So coming from up top, you know, and from the northeast,

315
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: like I was not. I was not well versed with that,

316
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it was it was

317
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: nice to go through the gauntlet and come out on

318
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: top because they're really like family. Now, you know, I'm

319
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: in the Valley universe now and then one and then

320
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: you have a lot of beautiful women around you, so

321
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: are they like do you have them coming at you

322
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: left and right, or because I know it happens in

323
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: real life. I see your comments and stuff like that,

324
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: and the women are going crazy over you. So is

325
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: that something that you dealt with on set, like where

326
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: they were getting hitting on you here and there extra

327
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: than anything. Yeah, listen, it was. I mean it was

328
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: definitely very hyesthetically pleasing, you know, bunch of absolutely a

329
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: bunch of a bunch of beautiful women, a bunch of

330
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: beautiful people, you know, black people doing their thing. But

331
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: but I will say that, you know, everyone on the

332
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: set was was kind of like kind of like myself.

333
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm a very driven, focused, focused person, you see what

334
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's like I've never really been like

335
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: a victim of the flesh like that. And I when

336
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: it comes to like getting your money and and and

337
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: like further in your dream. You see what I'm saying.

338
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: I take my legacy very seriously. So when it comes to,

339
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, something frivolous like that, you know, I can

340
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: kind of let it, you know, run off my shoulder. Um,

341
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: and everyone around was pretty much like that. It wasn't

342
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: like it isn't anything crazy. Um, we were linking up

343
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: after like you know, like to have after work drinks though,

344
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: so we was all turned you know what I'm saying,

345
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: were turned down there, you know what I'm saying, smoking

346
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: big drinking. It's like everybody was mad fun down there. Um.

347
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: But in terms of like the extracurriculus stuff like the fraternization,

348
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, everyone was really like like very professional, right.

349
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: You know, do you have to understop yourself if you

350
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: feel like there is a little bit of chemistry because

351
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: that does happen in real life? Do you ever have

352
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: to like kind of like put a block up and

353
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: to stop yourself? You know, how do you do that? Yeah?

354
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: What's you know? It's it's um, it's a it's a

355
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: great thing you touched on because this is something they

356
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: don't teach you in the acting class. Right, is walking

357
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: that line, you know, because on one side, you want

358
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: the chemistry to be real, right, because we're portraying real

359
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: life here, we're trying to capture those moments. It's almost

360
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: like capturing lightning in the bottle, you know what I mean.

361
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: You can't capture lightning in the bottle if you're scared

362
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: of going around the lightning, you know what I mean.

363
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: But you have to you have to know how to,

364
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, again, compartmentalize some of that energy. It's like,

365
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, you want to walk to the but you

366
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: don't want to go over it, you know what I mean.

367
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: So again, even teetering that line right there is something

368
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: that it's a skill set to be developed. So so

369
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: what is your type of woman? And are you single

370
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: right now? I'm not single right now? But I like them.

371
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: I like them pretty in the face, sticking away though,

372
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: you know. But I mean that's just that's that's what

373
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm drawn to, you know. I will say that I've seen,

374
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, I've seen a beautiful woman in every race, shape, color, size,

375
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like I don't

376
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: think that, you know, I don't think beauty knows any boundaries,

377
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: you know. But what I'm drawn to, you know, is uh,

378
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, definitely a little more currly. Did you forcating

379
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: of your songs on p Valley too? By the way,

380
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: It's awesome. It makes sense you've got some strip club songs. Yeah, yeah,

381
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: for sure, I appreciate that. So they're definitely gonna be

382
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: on season two. Yea, But sep with Uncle Clifford for

383
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: it to get shout out, shout out to my boy,

384

386
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: while I'm clipping for that. You know, I'm I've always

387
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: wanted to be taken seriously with my heart, no matter

388
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: what it is. You see what I'm saying. You know,

389
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: I understand networking, and you know you can you can

390
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: get a favor here, and then I understand that. But

391
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: like I've always wanted to be taken seriously as an actor.

392
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: You know I also and I see the same. I

393
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: want the same respect as a musician too, And I

394
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: also understand people's babies, right, Sometimes when you do something

395
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: for the first time, I don't know if you remember

396
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: your first you know, your first hosting gig or you know,

397
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: I remember some of my first gigs. But like this

398
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: was people baby, you see what I'm saying. So she

399
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to respect what she wanted to do.

400
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: She had a very specific way she wanted to craft

401
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: her soundtrack, so I didn't want to be like bombarding her.

402
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to, you know, garner my own

403
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: audience first. I want to drop my own stuff first.

404
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: So that. It's kind of it kind of it kind

405
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: of worked organically as opposed to you know, hey, I'm

406
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: just another rapper trying to put my stuff on even

407
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: though Diamond on the show. It's like, know, I wasn't

408
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: really known yet for my music, so I wanted to drop.

409
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to drop more and create my own buzz

410
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: first so that you know, it was easy when I

411
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: did it. And you know, we've talked, We've talked lots

412
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: about you know, getting my music on the soundtrack, so

413
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: it's already it's a goal for season two. But I

414
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: kind of just wanted to work it that way, you know. Congratulations. Yeah,

415
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: people call you Diamond because I know sometimes you get

416
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: caught in your character and that's kind of a name

417
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: right there, Like yeah, for sure. For sure, it was

418
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: always Benny for a long time, like all of a sudden,

419
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. And it's interesting like that. I have

420
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: some friends that really get upset when when their their supporters,

421
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: um don't know their name, you know what I mean.

422
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: I try to tell them all the time. It's like

423
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: it's like sometimes when you got when you got a hit.

424
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: It happens with music all the time too. Sometimes you

425
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: won't know the rapper, but as soon as you hear

426
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: the song, it's like, oh, that's you, you know what

427
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean. Sometimes they just know your work first and

428
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: it's a it's a blessing to have that. So it's like,

429
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, someone called me Diamond. I look around answer

430
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: to the name, like what's up? Okay, that means you're

431
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: doing a good job. I think, like absolutely, character that's

432
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: all we see, right Mari higwach marity highway cates when

433
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: people call home ghosts. Yea, yeah, that hates that. And

434
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: then you know, not like being an urk. Well, of course,

435
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: who would be Diamond? The way that Diamond is on

436
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: the show, he's you know what I mean, he's the

437
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: best dude on the show. To me, that's like a compliment.

438
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, you know. I remember I remember, you

439
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: know again, just to go back to like, you know,

440
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: my string and failures coming from the East Coast. Man,

441
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: I just remember, you know, trying to get any job,

442
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: and I remember trying to do something now you know

443
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: here I was. I was gonna do this this acting thing,

444
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. People look at me like

445
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: I was crazy, you know. So so for real, It's like,

446
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: I just remember, I'm not too far removed from a

447
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: space where no one supported me, you know what I mean.

448
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: So when I have these people running up to me

449
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: here and there you want to picture or whatever you

450
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,240

451
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: all of it for what it truly is, what your support.

452
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: You know. That's interesting because people will look at you

453
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: and be like, hip, are right, he's cute anyways. Right,

454
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because I'm sure all the time, like

455

Speaker 1: But people probably like, he'll be okay, Yeah, you know,

459
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: I went through I went through phases, you know when

460
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: I was growing up. When I was growing up you know,

461
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: in Bucks County and I was I was like the

462
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: only black kid. It was definitely I was definitely made

463
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: to feel you know. It was it was definitely like

464
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: a like a negative like ugly aesthetic type of thing,

465
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I was definitely like

466
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: growing up and it was like an ugly thing. I

467
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: was like the ugly duckling. But all of a sudden,

468
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: I hit like high school or even like a middle school,

469
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: and like people started getting sexually active all of a sudden,

470
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: and now and then it started changing, you know what

471
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Then then I was kind of like, you know,

472
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: kind of like what the girls liked a little bit,

473
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: even though it was new for them. You know, they're

474
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: never like being like a black guy or something like that,

475
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Um. And then I started

476
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: playing sports, right like yeah, yeah, like that got you

477
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: to see how they changed. Even when I was running

478
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: for touchdowns and now, all of a sudden, I was

479
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 1: like the like the popular running back, so like it

480
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,520

Speaker 1: we were in the house, so we weren't on the bed,

541
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: but we were like, you know, we're on the couch

542
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: floor area kind of bounced back before um, but then

543
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: it was then she was a little she was a

544
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: little promiscuous, so she was bouncing around after that. So

545
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: she kind of so she was no. I remember she

546
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: went to like she went to a upper classroom, so

547
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: she was junior. She started messing around with a senior. Now,

548
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,159

Speaker 1: no shot. He had a car, and every day I

550
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:04,000

555
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: It's interesting how relationships always continue to redefine themselves, you

556
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: know again ten years later, be honest, No, no, I

559
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: been what they're doing. They're so vindictive. They'll try to

560
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: like make you fall in love with them to get

561
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: back for the hurt that you're calling them from years ago.

562
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: You know, you know, guys always and I ain't gonna

563
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,479
Speaker 1: snitch on my guys, but I'll talk about myself, you know,

Speaker 1: I always try to. You know, we try to play

565
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: off that that you know, that first puppy love like

566
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: it ain't nothing, because truly, in the grands scheme of things,

567
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's really nothing. But you know, if

568
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: you if you take that moment for what it is,

569
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, it kind of redefines the way you have

570
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: an outlook on life or even relationships. So it does

571
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: it does have an impact, you know, significant exactly, even

572
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: though we don't may not think about the individual, you

573
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: know that experience is significant. I just picture you in

574
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: the hallway against the locker, looking down while she's with

575
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: another guy, no beer, Yeah, no beard, no, Jerry Curl said,

577
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: big scrawny back then. Yeah, for sure. I'm trying to

578
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: figure out how I'm trying to figure out how she

579
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: got your number ten years later, child, because I know

580
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: what the same that it was. Yeah, she hit me

581
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: on I think it was like Facebook. It was Facebook.

582
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: You already know. How How does she look? How does

583
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: she look now though, compared to high school? Not the same. Yeah,

584
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: we're just gonna say that you don't look the same.

585
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: But um, you know, but you know, uh, like life happens,

586
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: and like stresses real and circumstances happen, and you know,

587
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: people's outlook and perspectives change. So I just see her

588
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: differently now. She was like just calling to tell you

589
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: you got a ten year old son and you need

590
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: to take it. Did you did you practice putting on

591
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: a condom before the first time? You actually you know

592
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: what I did, But I didn't know. I didn't. I

593
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: kind of just, um, I don't even think i'd had

594
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: like seen one out of the wrapper. Um, And this

595
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: is crazy. I didn't even really thought about this experience

596
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: to this conversation. So I'm like, I'm kind of reliving

597
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: it right now. Um I was. I was definitely on

598
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: the fly with it for sure. Um, she definitely definitely, no, No,

599
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: she definitely helped. Yeah, she definitely helped me out. You

600
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. She was like, oh, the little version,

601
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't even know how to put a condom on. Yeah,

602
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: but she made she made sure she put it on

603
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: and she jumped on though. So it got me right,

604
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: jump on that horse. You gotta riding, Yeah, she was riding.

605
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: She was doing thing. Is that your favorite position now

606
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: to the day, to have a girl on top? Because

00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: how does it work for you? You know? I'm like,

609
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm very much like a like like a dancer when

610
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: it comes to it. I like to communicate, you know, verbally,

00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta I forget what I was reading.

623
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know, these memes pop across your time

624
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: time about all the time. And someone had said, like,

00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, would you prefer like a you know, a

626
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: six in the face and the turn in the body

627
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: or a real pretty face and like, you know, like

628
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: a bad build body. So I've definitely had that you know,

629
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: five in the face, you know what I'm saying, with

630

00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: But I find, uh, you know, I find I find

634
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: lots of different characteristics about a woman sexy too. So

635
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: even if you don't got it all together in the face,

636
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, there's there's lots of things about

640
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: It's uh, you know what I'm saying, we get faster.

641
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a woman tricker? Have you ever

642
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: had a woman trick on you when you were younger?

643
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: Like what you mean by like what you mean? Trick

644
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: on me? Things? Trick on me? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

645
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: for sure. Um. Not not when I was like young, young,

646
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: but when I started getting um. I remember my girlfriend

647
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: in high school was checking on me a little bit.

648
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: But then you know what it was when I got

649
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: to l A. When I got to l A, um,

650
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: I like I was introduced to even before l A,

651
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: but like once I graduated in high school, I was

652
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: introduced to the cougars, you know what I mean. And

653
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: the Cougars were like, for sure tricking on me, you know,

654
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: not then coogers. But I remember, well, we don't have

655
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: to go into the specifics, but yeah, I've definitely had

656
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, been a part of that,

657
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: And it's like you gotta be you gotta be careful though.

658
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: It's like when you received and I'm sure maybe your

659
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: ladies go through this too, or if you have or not,

660
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but like you know, when you're receiving gifts,

661
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, without anything in return, you

662
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: know they're going to be expecting something. So I was

663
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: a part of a scenario where she was giving me stuff,

664
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden she broke it to me

665
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: she wanted she wanted me to show up with her

666
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: at like her like ex husbands like whatever. And I

667
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: had realized that, Yeah, I had realized that her ex

668
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: husband was like, he was someone that was going to

669
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: try to protect his space, if you understand what I'm saying.

670
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: And so it was like she was using me like

671
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: a pam, you know what I'm saying, And I thank

672
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: thankfully I was smart enough to understand and said, hey,

673
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do this

674
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: anymore because you know, if you put me in that scenario,

675
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be forced to defend myself. And now you've

676
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: got two men going crazy at each other, you know.

677
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: So it's like whether they're expecting that or whether it's

678
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: or you know what I'm saying, Yeah, yeah, he's like

679
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: I gotta fight every night to prove my love. Yeah. Sure,

680
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't knowing that. So I you know, one thing

681
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: that came to my attention. You had a video that circulated.

682
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: You had an interview where basically I think they asked

683
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: you about going fifty fifty on a date and your

684
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: response I really like, So I want to ask you

685
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: what if a woman did sit down with a man

686
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: and he was like, hey, um, here's my half. What

687
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna do? What should she do? M hm? You

688
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be different from from woman to a woman.

689
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: You know, It's it's like it's it's not one of

690
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: those answers where one size it's all, you know what

691
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean? I think if the woman, if the woman

692
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: has in her head where let's let's say, for instance,

693
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: she was raised in a household where she was taught

694
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: that women aren't supposed to pay any bills, you know

695
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: what I mean, your daddy, Your daddy teaches you that,

696
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm always gonna take care of you, and

697
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: I take care of your mother, and you know, a

698
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: man that's dead and you should do the same. Right

699
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: and she's put in this scenario that you just presented

700
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: and the man says, hey, here's fifty, where's your fifty?

701
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: You know, if if she's about her morals and she

702
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do that. She has every right to say,

703
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna pass on this, know, but I

704
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: think that's funny to say, like I'm gonna pass on that. Yeah, yeah,

705
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: what if you did say, I'm enjoy love when it's

706
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: like on the flip side, you know, and and a

707
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: and a practice and a practical. Um. You know, if

708
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: we if we look on the other side of the

709
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: point and we say, um, you know we're gonna be

710
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: in this fifty fifty um, you know it's you know,

711
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a true uh, both feed in the relationship.

712
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna give and take. You know, we're just gonna

713
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: be a true fifty fifty relationship. And and and you're

714
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: okay with that. You know, you have every right to

715
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: go ahead and accept that. And you said, okay, baby,

716
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: here's my fifty and let's let's run it up like that.

717
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: But not on the first day. Not not on the

718
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: first date though it's not I think you ever asked

719
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: the person on a date is supposed to pay, Like

720
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: if I ask you, like, hey, this is I think

721
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: the guy is always supposed to pay? It depends. But

722
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: if you ask a guy out and you're like, hey,

723
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: I want to take you out, Like I mean, if

724
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: it's a birthday, yes, If you say I want to

725
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: take you out and here's and you set up everything,

726
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: then I do feel like you should at least offer

727
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: to pay because it was all your idea. I'm not

728
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna be like, I'm gonna take you out, now pay

729
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: for me now. I was just gonna say, like I've

730
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: done that before where I'm like, okay, let's go out,

731
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: and then the guy would be like, you're not paying

732
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: this bill and we're like damn, they're trying to fight

733
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: me to snatch with just fine, which is fine, But

734
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: I do think you should offer. Now. If you're in

735
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: a relationship and you're like, let's go to the movie

736
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: is then it's just whatever whoever decides it. No, I

737
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: got it this time, it doesn't matter. But I feel

738
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: like on a first date, if you ask somebody on

739
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: a date, that's who pays, right, because it's your idea.

740
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: You're coming up with the whole plan. I'm asking you

741
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: to go somewhere. Imagine somebody asked you to do something

742
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: and then make you pay for it. Yeah, for sure,

743
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: I think I think if we're talking about you know,

744
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: a date, um, the first date, we're gonna be specific

745
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: with that. And again not not to go back to

746
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: an interview, but like you know, I'm just I'm just uh,

747
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm just an old school person, you know what I mean.

748
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: And and I'm just I'm gonna take care of it.

749
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: That's just the type of way. That's type of person

750
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: I am. Um, And I think that I think that

751
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: it should be like that. You know, women and women man, y'all,

752
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: y'all give us a lot, you know what I mean,

753
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate that I feel like most people don't

754
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: give you the credit that you deserve. But like you know,

755
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,720

Speaker 1: to try to go ahead and pick that tab up.

772
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: It's really not a big deal. Now, I have to

773
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: be honest, I've never asked anyone in the date, so

774

00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,200

781
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: he still wouldn't let me pay. No matter what we ate,

782
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: he acts like he was gonna let me pay, and

783
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: then he like walked to the bathroom and paid, and

784
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: I was like like this, bet you know, what do

785
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: y'all fel what do y'all feel about the woman proposing

786
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: for marriage. I wouldn't do that either. Yeah, I mean,

787
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: I don't knock anyone. I don't knock anyone. I think

788
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: it's a new day and age, and sometimes they're stay

789
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: at home dad's now you know what I mean, and

790
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: the woman goes to work. So but me, personally, I

791
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: would want somebody to propose to me. I wouldn't want to.

792
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: I would feel like I'm not forcing, but I feel like,

793
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: what guys really gonna say? No, it's gonna make it no.

794
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: That's my question. You're in a relationship. If your woman

795
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 1: was to propose to you right now, would you accept

796
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: the proposal? How don't? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't

797
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: mean to laugh all out like that. It's just like

798
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: he is. Just yesterday my girlfriend proposed to me. But

799
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: you know, you're asking it back to me, makes it

800
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: real all of a sudden. So now I'm like putting

801
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: myself in it. Um, you know, there's two there's two scenarios,

802
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: just like so. So first of all, I don't I

803
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: don't know if marriage is for me. Me and my

804
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: girlfriend talked about the offense, so I don't know if

805
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: I'm I don't. I don't know if I'm gonna get

806
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: married in like period. Uh, but if I'm in this scenario,

807
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna be the one getting on the name. Now,

808
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: if we are in a blue moon, you know, the

809
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: world turned on its head, and now my girl gets

810
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: on one knee and proposes. Uh then which I which

811
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite beers. By the way, But

812
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: I think that if I think if we were alone, um,

813
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: in in whatever way, in whatever way I could that

814
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: came to me in the moment, I would try to

815
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: articulate that I want to be the one to propose

816
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: to you. So it's not like I'm saying no, but

817
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: allowing me to be the one that does this allow

818
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: me to do this the right way. UM, I think

819
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: it would be important if I was gonna say yes,

820
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: to articulate that I do want to get married. It's

821
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: not like I'm saying, you know no, but it's just

822
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: that I want to do this the right way, the

823
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: way that I see it going down. Um. And now

824
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't think take that you know what it is.

825
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: I just I just feel I feel I just feel

826
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: we you're like, um, you know what I'm saying, I'm

827
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: married to check it out. You for that, and I'm like, yeah,

828
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: like that's just don't don't know, and the like I

829
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: was just preferred to be the other way around, that's

830
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: all anybody who does that and I mistaken. All your

831

900
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,200

905
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: you were in the right dress, We're ready to go,

906
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: and it is there. Um and you know you know

907
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: y'all uh all the time. Yeah, And y'all have enlightened

908
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: me and you know, UM helped me understand that there's

909
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: a whole other side to it. Even even right now,

910
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: you guys are putting me on a game right now,

911
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: because I didn't know that it had a term for it.

912
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: What's it called? Again? And yeah, how did you and

913
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: your girlfriend? Did you approach her? Did she approach you?

914
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: She approached me? Um, she approached me. Yeah, she might

915
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: be playing it proposal now coming. I have to tell

916
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: her not to watch this and get any idea. She's

917
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: a very she's a very direct one she wants to be.

918
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: But um, she's she's she's not really she's not really

919
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: liked that. Um she approached me, I mean at least

920
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: not at least not from what I know, you know

921
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. But this day she was and she

922
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: and she um, and it was thing like she came

923
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: and said, hey, listen, I want to funk. It wasn't

924
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: like that, but it was like, you know, she she

925
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: made her way over and made it a point to come,

926
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, initiate the conversation, you know, and from there,

927
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, I take it from there. But that initial,

928
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, opening up the door was But how did

929
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: you move from the space stuff being like just talking

930
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: to being in a committed relationship. So we went through, uh,

931
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: a long period of time when we were friends. So

932
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: she approached me. We went on a couple of dates. Uh,

933
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, we were intimate with each other. Um, and

934
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,479
Speaker 1: developed a friendship that lasted for a long time because

935
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: we worked we worked in the same industry, so it

936
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: was like we were just always we were around each

937
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: other a lot, and and it just organically developed into

938
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: a place where you know, I was I was really

939
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: the one I keep it real. I was the one

940
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: that kind of just I have these epiphanies a lot

941
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: of time in life, A lot of times in life,

942
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: you know. I had one on the East Coast. I said,

943
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: you know what, Tayland, it's time to move. It's not

944
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: for me anymore. You know what I'm saying. I want

945
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 1: I want something different. Um. So I had another epiphany,

946
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 1: I said, Um, I kind of all of a sudden

947
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: started I don't know if it's good or bad, but uh,

948
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: I started thinking about like if I were to you know,

949
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: because she was she was easily accessible to me. I

950
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: could reach out and and have her if I wanted to.

951
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: And I think because of that, I was taking I

952
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: was taking her for granted. And I kind of had

953
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: this epiphany where I was like, man, I was like,

954
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: this is she's She's like someone that like I want

955
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: to be with, and I don't know what I would

956
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: do if I if I went away. You know, I work,

957
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: I work on you know, away often, so um, you know,

958
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in Atlanta five months out of the year.

959
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: I got a new show on Amazon coming out where

960
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm shooting in New York. Uh, five months out of

961
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: the year. So it's like, I would hate if I

962
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: came back and she's brewed up with somebody else, you

963
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It would hit me different if

964
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: like I've seen her on someone else's arm. So it's

965
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: not like it was a territorial thing, like I just

966
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: don't want no one else to have you. I had

967
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: just realized that I want to have you, you know

968
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, So I want to At this time,

969
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: I was direct and I said, you know, you know

970
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: I want to be with you. Let's be with each other,

971
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, and in different words, but that was the message.

972
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: What about kids? You said, no marriage, But what about kids?

973
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: We have a child together? You yeah, girl, I have

974
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: a son. I have a son. So listen, do you

975
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: think that it's good to keep things private and that's

976
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: why your relationship lasts? Yeah? Yeah, And I think I

977
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: think you chose the correct word. People often talk about like,

978
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, so why do you keep it a secret.

979
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 1: It's not saying it's like if it was a secret,

980
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 1: I would have just lied to you right there. Um,

981
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, it's I've found that you know,

982
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: working in a public space. You know what I do

983
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: for a living, and any ladies know, you know, well

984
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: what we're doing right now. This is work right now,

985
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: but this is going to be broadcasting to everyone, right

986
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: So we work in this public space. And when you

987
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: work in this public space, you know, you end up

988
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: having extracurriculars that are in the public space. And if

989
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: you look at the whole spectrum, you know, like your

990
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: your your life has lived out where people are watching you,

991
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I've I've I've understood

992
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: for a long time and I've experienced this that having

993
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: having a space that's private is very beneficial and really

994
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: helps to be able to unplug, you know, for me,

995
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: especially as you know, especially as a black man, you know,

996
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: to go into the world. The last thing that I

997
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: want from being at war with the world every single

998
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: day is to come home for around two you see

999
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: them saying I like to have calm waters at home

1000
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: and uh, and I think I think being private helps

1001
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 1: that and uh, you know, I gotta my girlfriend understands that. Um.

1002
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: And so it's just it's just a great fit. You've

1003
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: had girlfriends in the past that didn't understand that, and

1004
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: they want to They want everything to be public. They'll

1005
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: understand why we can't publicize everything. And you won't see

1006
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: my kids. You won't see my kids on my i G. Yeah, exactly,

1007
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: And you won't see my kid on my i G

1008
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: the same way you want to see like my parents

1009
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: and my I G. I just want to keep um.

1010
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: I've chosen to keep the my private life private and

1011
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: and everything else. Like we can we can talk and

1012
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 1: we can chat and I talked people for my i G.

1013
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: And it's like we can we can do all that

1014
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: over here in this space. You know. I feel that

1015
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: and I respected. And that's what makes people come up

1016
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: with like all their own stories that they create. You know,

1017
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: I saw they were trying to say that you were gay,

1018
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, really, I didn't see that. Yeah,

1019
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: I didn't see it, but it's like, you know, they

1020
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: they you know, I remember when I first I remember

1021
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: I first started out. I was seeing it here and

1022
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: there UM for forward forwardever reason people were associating with UM,

1023
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: Like my first show, I came out on the Tyler

1024
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: Perry Show, and like, for for whatever reason, he gets

1025
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: a wrap like that. And I know, Tyler person, he's

1026
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: not gay, you know what I'm saying. But it's like,

1027
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, being I was, you know, I was seeing

1028
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: around him and all of a sudden it was just

1029
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: rubbing off on me and people thought like I was

1030
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: gay or something like that. And then I remember, Um,

1031
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: I had taken it. I don't know if I had

1032
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: taken a I don't know, I don't know what it was,

1033
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: but I done something. I was on the set of

1034
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: Peas Valley and uh, maybe I was a Clifford. I

1035
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: was like maybe. I think I was taking a picture

1036
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: of Alphands who plays a little murder and um, and

1037
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: people started off with the gay thing again. I think,

1038
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: like I think, if you have a space like you

1039
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: were saying, Angel, if you have a space that people

1040
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: can't figure out, they may just tackle whatever they can.

1041
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: They can just create a judgment, you know what I mean.

1042
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: I will say Perry. My thing about Tyler Perry, I

1043
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: never think that he's gay. He just knows how to

1044
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 1: pick a fine man to cast in his shows, and

1045
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: if he don't pick the most nice looking guys, like

1046
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: an array of them, and I'd be like, where the

1047
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: hell did he find them at? I want to hang

1048
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: out with Tyler. Perry's tact all of it. He got

1049
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: all of fine man. That's why people think that because

1050
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: he has a good eye for looks as well. I

1051
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 1: think maybe that's what I mean. And he plays media

1052
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: so well. People can't get over the fact that he's

1053
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: a woman so well. He does because I I think

1054
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: media coming back, that's just had to pause up for

1055
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: a little bit and then show come out. Then you're

1056
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: gonna make a return, you know, as a Tyler, as

1057
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: a black man and as an actor playing the role

1058
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: of a woman. Is that's something that you wouldn't do?

1059
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: You know, because I've heard both sides like whatever the

1060
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: road calls for, and then I've heard people say I

1061
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. You know. It's interesting when you get

1062
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: into these questions as an Actor's another thing they won't

1063
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: teach you in an acting class. Having class is just

1064
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: seen study. It's very like basic even though it's necessary. Um.

1065
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: This other side that we're touching on, right Now it's

1066
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: something that only comes with experience. It only comes with

1067
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: like making decisions. So when you get into this this

1068
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 1: uh this realm or you're booking stuff, you you get

1069
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: presented with these options, you know, do you wanna do

1070
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: you want to play? And the question is always do

1071
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 1: you want to play something that you aren't in real life? Right?

1072
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,720
Speaker 1: Some people have a problem with playing playing a woman.

1073
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: Some people have a problem with playing gay. Some people

1074
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 1: have a problem with playing a rapist or playing you know,

1075
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: an abuser or whatever it is, right, getting into these

1076
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: circumstances that aren't normally yours. So when you're doing that again,

1077
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: it's it goes back to like, what what is it

1078
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: that you want to do? You know? So for me, like, uh,

1079
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: you know, I love the roles that I've accepted, you know,

1080
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: Benny Um, Diamond uh and my new show Ian. So

1081
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: from me, if I was ever going to you have

1082
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: to play it all the way. You see what I'm saying,

1083
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: what I don't like, what I don't like When what

1084
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,720
Speaker 1: actors do is they'll sit here and they say, Okay,

1085
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna accept this role because the

1086
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: hell of a check and I'm gonna get famous, right,

1087
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: because you know val Vallegna blow up. Let's let's take

1088
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: Uncle Clifford, Let's take Little Murder or something like that. Right, Um,

1089
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and accept the role. We're gonna blow up,

1090
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna get all the accolades and stuff like that,

1091
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: all these positive things. But then when you know, when

1092
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: the flip side of it comes and you have the

1093
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: trolls that come out of nowhere and people that are

1094
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: judging you and saying crazy stuff, you may not want that.

1095
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: So then when you're in the space of actually playing

1096
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: the role, you're holding back a little bit, actually going

1097
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: all the way there. So now you're doing a disservice

1098
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 1: to the to the role and actually the whole universe,

1099
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: like you know, the p Valley universe, if you will,

1100
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: the whole storyline. Um so I do think whatever, if

1101
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: you're going to accept the role, you have to go

1102
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: all you have to go in like hats yeah, I

1103
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: have I give my hats off to uh he you

1104
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: know he's developed into my friend. Now his name is Alphons,

1105
00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: who plays a Little Murder. You know my hat off

1106
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: on Yeah, because he's playing he's playing that role for

1107
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 1: real and he's a straight man with the kid. He

1108
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: has a wife and a kid. You see what I'm saying.

1109
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: So he's doing that all the way. He's a he's

1110
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: a he's a veteran as an actor. He comes from

1111
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: he comes from the theater, right, so he's checking all

1112
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: the way in there, and he deserves all the accolades

1113
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 1: that comes to UM. So just your to do your question.

1114
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm thankful for the roles that I've got.

1115
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't UM. I don't see myself playing a woman,

1116
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: but that's um. Just like it's okay to to play

1117
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: a woman, It's it's okay. It's also okay to choose

1118
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: not to. You know. The only thing is as as

1119
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: an actor, you just have to make sure that you

1120
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,720
Speaker 1: truly understand what you're stepping into, and if you step

1121
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: into it, you have to give a percent and cannot

1122
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: You know. Will Smith talks about it often. In his

1123
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: first role, I forget what it was that he played

1124
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: a gay role. I think so, and he talks about

1125
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: in hindsight he wishes he would have just did it

1126
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: all the way because in the moment he's worried about

1127
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: what his boys were gonna think, and all these outside circumstances,

1128
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: and he actually didn't do it. They had to cut

1129
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: around it to make it look real, and it kind

1130
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 1: of takes the performance down a little bit. You know

1131
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, What about what about full frontsity? So

1132
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: I again I would do it. It would So if

1133
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna do full frontal, it has to be

1134
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: on something like a P Valley, You see what I'm saying,

1135
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: where it's done tastefully. You know, you'll you'll see it

1136
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,399
Speaker 1: there and you'll see the girls get you know, fully there.

1137
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: There's full new to be on that show. But it's done.

1138
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 1: It's done to support the story. It's not done out

1139
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: of nowhere. Look at it. Tell what if they tell

1140
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: you that we want you to be limp and then

1141
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be like, oh my god, this Penis is

1142
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: so small and you gotta ask him to be the

1143
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: shower grower first he might be he might be a shower.

1144
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: We need to do this Penis and I'm gonna shower.

1145
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm good. So you got it, don't worries P Valley

1146
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: the middle person de Alley. So that's interesting too, because

1147
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: you know this was this was the first show that

1148
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: um in this in this season. I was not new. Um,

1149
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 1: we were getting into Diamond storyline and we weren't there yet.

1150
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: You know, who knows, maybe second season when you go

1151
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: home and you see or he's coming out the shower

1152
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,959
Speaker 1: or something like that, when you see him in his life,

1153
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,959
Speaker 1: you know, you actually never seen Diamond outside of the club.

1154
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: You have not exact but you was about to get

1155
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: it in with Mississippi in there. You didn't have to

1156
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: get out of there right under those we'll go to

1157
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: the breakroom. But I was said, we was ready to

1158
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 1: fight her after I don't I don't want to pull

1159
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,919
Speaker 1: it just in case everybody didn't watch yet, but we

1160
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: was ready to jump her as a unit, like because

1161
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: you're like, girl, what are you doing right? How dare you?

1162
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 1: I think that, UM, don't give it real to wrap

1163
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: that up, because I wanted to touch it on, touch

1164
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: on the real quick. So this is my first time,

1165
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: she said, being a part of a show that had

1166
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,720
Speaker 1: so much nudity. So I had seen the nudity writers

1167
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: and the nudity clauses and stuff like that. So there

1168
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: are certain things that you can show on certain things

1169
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 1: you can't show. So I didn't know if you guys

1170
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: know this, if you ladies know this, but you're actually

1171
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: not allowed to show a fully erect penis. Said that,

1172
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,479
Speaker 1: so you can't show it differ like that on TV TV.

1173
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's like so on TV you're actually only

1174
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: gonna see limp vix. Yeah when there like when um,

1175
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: what's his name Corbyn when he was in the in

1176
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 1: the cloud and he was there naked and the cloud,

1177
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: actually I heard it was a fake penis. Virgo told

1178
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: me that that wasn't even his real penis. But it

1179
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: wasn't hard. It wasn't look in his face. He's like,

1180
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know, but it wasn't. But but but if

1181
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: you pay attention to when you watch it, it wasn't hard.

1182
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: He was just laying there and it was just laying there.

1183
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: So that I wonder why they would make that a role.

1184
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: That's so weird like way because that's yeah, and like

1185
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: same thing with you know, with the female anatomy, you're

1186
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: not allowed to show the lips. You're not like there's

1187
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: certain you can show up, but not like you know

1188
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like, yeah, but you can't show like

1189
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 1: really in between the ladies can't wet Okay, you can't

1190
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,879
Speaker 1: really you can't really get all of it like that.

1191
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 1: So there's certain rules. There's certain rules to the game.

1192
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 1: But to get into you know, Mississippi. Now, one thing

1193
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: that I can say about that because there was a

1194
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: lot of reaction on that last scene where she pulled

1195
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: the gun on Diamond. Um. There was a lot of it. Um.

1196
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: So now real quick, before I get into it, what

1197
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: do you think, like, what were you what were you

1198
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: all so upset about? What do you think that the

1199
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: audience was still in that more because she was still

1200
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: defending him, you were defending her against him, and then

1201
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: she came in there defending him and boud, I don't

1202
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: you Like I get abuse and all that, I understand,

1203
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: trust me, I'm more I overstand. But like we wanted

1204
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: y'all to hook up, you know what I mean, And

1205
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: we also wanted him to die. Guy you wanted with

1206
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: it asked or we wanted her to kill him. And

1207
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 1: then I think if he's a white boy too, like

1208
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 1: it didn't help. Sorry, So I think and Angela, did

1209
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: you see that? Did you see that thing? Yes? I did? Similar, Yeah,

1210
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean, of course I think as a woman, and

1211
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: then we look at you like that's the you know,

1212
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: that's the guy, go to him, and then you put

1213
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: it and then you also put yourself in that position,

1214
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 1: like what would you do? But then of course we

1215
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: never know what we would do in real life, but

1216
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: from watching it, and I always think it's from the

1217
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: outside and you're watching something. And that's what makes these

1218
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: characters more complex, because anybody could watch something and say,

1219
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: if that was me, this is what I would do.

1220
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: But the anti school, so let us know with tea. Okay,

1221
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: so here's my thing on it. So I have to

1222
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: give again. I gotta just give a hat my hats

1223
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: off and a shout out to the Tory Hall because

1224
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, as a writer, she's very specific and she's

1225
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: the one that really made this thing go, you know,

1226
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: getting got a hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes. You know,

1227
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: she's the one that really drives this thing. So she's

1228
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: the one who wrote that scene, right. So it's so

1229
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: easy to give the audience what they want that, you know,

1230
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: and here comes down, here comes diamond the night and shining.

1231
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna save the day, you know, But if you

1232
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: look at you know, that would be just doing what

1233
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: the audience wants. That's not actually staying true to the story. Yeah,

1234
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: and like if you look at if you look at

1235
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, the human condition. It's like if you if

1236
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: you look at unfortunately a lot of these people, you know,

1237
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: a lot of times it's it's females. But even then

1238
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: a lot of times these abused go back to the

1239
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: abuser like for whatever reason. It's crazy. It's like it's

1240
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: like something you know, something psychic exactly. So for her

1241
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: to keep it real in that moment, even though everyone

1242
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: wanted the opposite, it's like, man, my hat's off to

1243
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: her as a storyteller, because I know lots of storytellers

1244
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: that would have just given the audience what they wanted

1245
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: to a couple for a couple of ratings. You see

1246
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Because then think of the reaction that

1247
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: you had it so much stronger, because yeah, because if

1248
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: y'all they just would have been like, oh yeah, we

1249
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't be talking about that right now. Probably would have

1250
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: just been another love scene. But like you said about

1251
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: all of us, how many times we've defended our man

1252
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: that was cheating us, like from everybody else. And the

1253
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: more people go ask somebody, the more defensive you become

1254
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: of that person. Even when they don't. But being from

1255
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: the outside, if I was Mississippi, we would have shot

1256
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: that white man buried him and then when they had

1257
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: sex and sun like, let's go. I'm here, definitely need

1258
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: to be on there. What you don't know about me

1259
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: is I created the Last Dance ten years ago at

1260
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: Magic City. I retired and we named my retirement party

1261
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: the Last Dance Magic and and it and it became

1262
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 1: a thing. So after that, every time a dancer um

1263
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: left the club, she had a last dance. Yeah, Bibergo

1264
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: and Simone was the trinity. You see how you guys

1265
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: had the trinity. So in Magic City we were called

1266
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: the snack Tack and we were their very first feature

1267
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: performance crew, Like we started that whole feature performance group

1268
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: performance thing in strip clubs. And again, uh Contori even said,

1269
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: and one of her press junkets that you know she

1270
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: created that night at the club to kind of mimic

1271
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: that Sunday night that Uh Mercedes had. She created that

1272
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: the kind of mimic times at Magic City where and

1273
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: she actually said, my name, Gigi McGuire would pack out

1274
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: the club right now that I learned something from you

1275
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: that I remember my first time going to Magic City

1276
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: and I walked in and Gig was in there where

1277
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: and she just jumped off whatever she was doing and

1278
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: came to get me on and I was at my
