0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.040

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>talking about smoke coming all across Long Beach. Moke was

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>in Orange County. So that's why I can't put lashes

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>on because the smoke was in Orange County, and baby,

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I lived right there outside of one county. This has

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>been a fire season for you all. This has been

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>a fire season period because for four years we've had

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>a fire in the White House. I'm glad somebody had

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>put that goddamn fire out. Welcome to love, laugh and

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>again into Thursday when you watch the other because I'm

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>not taking the camera off these titties today. Baby, get

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you what Dr de Brow? I love you, Terry Debro,

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, but indeed is he here? He's not here,

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>but he did my booty. I love that. I love

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>And I asked him did he look up under my

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>dress when I was sleeping you? Because I had some

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jackson juice, that profifile best ship ever. Let me

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>tell y'all something right now, I know what might to you. Baby,

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 1>let me cheer you something. I don't know. That is

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>what the profifile did. You just don't know anything. You

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>sleep so wonderfully and so comfortably. When I woke up,

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even know I had surgery. I thought they

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>changed their mind. Shut up, seriously. I got him and

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>walked to the elevator. It's like your wheelchairs right here.

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I only know what y'all didn't do not I was

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 1>all reading Michael Jackson Juice Baby, if they could get

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>it an UPL bottle. I take it. I take that

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>for I take that coronavirus vaccine fame. I'm glad you

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>mentioned that you know the vaccine is moving forward. In fact,

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>we were just talking about how h they are ready

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>to move forward with actually administering the vaccine to a

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>number of people. Give it to your mama, your uncle's

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and your kids, because you will not give it to

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>me or my Jewish? Are we not taking it? And

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Lauren Hogan, my wonderful manager, brought into information today to

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>say that in Japan they have said that they are

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>not giving it to their citizens because of the side effects,

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>well or lack of that. They don't know about the

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>side effects. But before before that happens, you do understand

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that there are several different vaccines floating out that are

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>supposed to treat coronavirus and COVID. So the ideas that

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>there there's more than just one, say that again several exactly.

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>So if it's one vaccine to fix one ailment. How

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>could you have three or four different vaccines. They're gonna

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>fix one ailment because there are different developers. You know,

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you can have different TVs that still stream a television show,

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and some TVs are better than others. Let me say,

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not taking none of that ship, but you know.

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>But but before you dismiss it, there are things that

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>are happening with that. I think that we should also

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>mention how they're talking about how there will be a

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>vaccine card um and it is possible. We don't know

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>what that card will mean, but it will show that

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 1>those who have taken the vaccine um will get a

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>little card and those who have not obviously won't have

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.679
<v Speaker 1>the card. Some are saying that card will be because

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>there are some vaccines that will require more than one

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>dosage so that you can track your dosage. But it

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 1>is possible they will stop or restrict the movement to

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>those who haven't been Understand this, ladies and gentlemen, And

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you, I have been fooling me when

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I was younger as a woman. If you can fool

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>me in with tips, you can fool people with another car.

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 1>Remember all the d D scams they had going on

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>this past year. Let me tell you something. It's always

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>away around some ship. Understand that, So create the cars.

0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:59.919
<v Speaker 1>I know some people who can make it. I know

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.559
<v Speaker 1>a bitch who can build a house in three minutes.

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Right now, I know what I want to call it.

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>I get the division. I'm gonna speak that, so noble

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>ain't no problem. I'm gonna get past that. But I'm

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>not doing anything. You don't have any honey. People get

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>millions of dollars on the d D unemployment pandemic scam.

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.159
<v Speaker 1>We will always find a way. I'm not doing it.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you all right now, that's up to you all.

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not telling nobody what to do for themselves. I'll

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>tell you what I'm not doing for me. And even

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>with our former president saying that they will take the

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>shot live on television that Obama, Obama, I love you, player,

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you might dude all day. I want to interview you.

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to shake your hand, hand out with your

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>and their thing. But I can shoot a couple of

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 1>rounds with you. But nigger, you can take all the

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>shots you want to give it to you and everybody,

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not taking it. I'm not trusting anyone with this

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>because and it's not that I don't trust the President Obama,

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>but because this administration has shown such a disdain for

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the American people and we have just become collateral damage.

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing I don't trust any but I don't

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.840
<v Speaker 1>trust my mama. And she called me and told me

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:57.919
<v Speaker 1>take a shot. I can't go up on a flame.

0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>There are people are definitely suffering right now. And I

0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>know that you wanted to make sure the way he

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 1>started the show um in a special way today because

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>there's just a lot happening right now that it's been

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>on your heart and and things you want to share

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 1>talk to us. I am I am a fan and

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.159
<v Speaker 1>not a fan of Wendy Williams. If you understand that.

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I love her what she does and everything, but sometimes

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 1>she gets someone nerve. But Wendy Williams has been under

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of pressure lately and then her mom just passed.

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes say so, always going on in her personal life

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>with her the Voice openly being so public and living

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.159
<v Speaker 1>her life under that, and now her mom died. I

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know what God uh has on her, but I

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>hope she leads to God and looks to God to

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to find her way out of this. And I want

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.599
<v Speaker 1>to start off a special prayer this morning for Wendy Williams.

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>What I passed her for the show this. You know,

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>we have our own church here at Love Life, Laugh

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and Learned. Look at me, I'm confused. And it's called

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>the hesy We Church of God in Christ. So I

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>want to bring on past the Erskine and first lady

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>who was pastorin let people know who may be joining

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 1>us for the first time. I'm laughing. Ester Erskine is

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 1>a preacher out of Michigan. Him and his wife, they've

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>just been fans of mine for a while and they

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 1>they've come onto the show and expressed it. And he

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have an actual church yet, but he always praised

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>over the show. He prayed and we get he prayed

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>over the show when we were just doing comp time.

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>And now look where we are, so so Reverend erskin

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you know I want you, we need we need you

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>right now before we bring to teach a camera very

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>special guests on to just put a prayer in for

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Wendy Williams and her family. And here's my thing. The

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Wendy was very close to her parents from what we

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>see from the outside looking in. She always had them

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>on the show, and the mom and dad had been

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>married for years and years. And you know, when people

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>have been married a long time, they become so much

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>more than husband and wife. They are companions, They are

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>soul mates, they are friends, they are confidants. And that

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 1>their dad is old. The mom is eighty three. I

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know how old the father is, but they have

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>been a yell of like forty or fifty years. You

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>talked about that, because you also talked about the correlation

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>between that and say, Whitney Houston, who always leaved into

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>her face, who always ladd into her face. We watched

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Can I Be Me the other day and whatever you

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>ever interview, you saw, whatever you thought about Winney Houston,

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>besides her being one of the greatest things, if not

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the greatest singer of all time, that she always looked

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to God no matter what. She could be high as

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a kite, and sometimes it was kind of prevalent that

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>she was high, and some of those interviews, but she

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>had always acknowledged the Lord. Wendy, I need you to

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and and God has always present you. Also, um had

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 1>a challenging situation this week because you trusted the process

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.439
<v Speaker 1>of making a purchase. Are you gonna just put me

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>on blast? And that I got used. I was used

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>like a rug, y'all, so be careful ordering offline, not

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.840
<v Speaker 1>all everything. I ordered some um wardrobes for Marketplace, and

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>so they went through fine. So I wanted to order

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a golf card, so that said one. It was beautiful,

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.839
<v Speaker 1>it was twelve. I did all this stuff Lauren was

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the one who actually typed in the I had to

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 1>go get six eBay cards, but I'm not an eBay

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.439
<v Speaker 1>so I just went in as a guest baby. And

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>then so As I sent that money and she told

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>me I need another thousand dollars to deliver. I'm like,

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it's running up the street. I can walk up here

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and get it if I wanted. On a good day, baby,

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>we never heard none. Theydn't changed the phone number. Che

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>So I got ganked out of twelve hundred dollars, y'all.

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I got the player. I got played. That hurts my field.

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>You know. I don't like to be played, because you

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.679
<v Speaker 1>know I like to play games. But baby, it's funny

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>when the roots you, isn't it. No, it's not that

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not. But I believe you'll get that back. I

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 1>do think though. It's a warning to all the flame

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>mets out there and those who may be listening. Around

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the holidays, there tends to be a spike in online scams.

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, holidays. It must have been a holiday for

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 1>four years, because that nigga been scamming for four years

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and still scamming. Won't leave even none of that one

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 1>of the other things. You want to talk about. This

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>in the headlines today, we're talking about the fake meat.

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that say that again. Please the fake meat, fake meat.

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm talking to all you women out there. If

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 1>your man come home with fake meat, are you gonna

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>put it in your mouth? I'm just asking for I'm

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>asking for a frame. It don't even sound conducing. You

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>are absolutely ridiculous. That's like the impossible burger. It's gonna

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 1>be impossible for me to eat some ship that's not real. Oh,

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.559
<v Speaker 1>it's plant based, so it's we Well, the I the

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 1>idea behind the fake meat is that they are now

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 1>growing meat genetically um in a lab, so they're growing

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>meat without the need to slaughter animals, and and also

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the emission of greenhouse gases the ideas to reduce all

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 1>of that. You know. Okay, so wait a minute, make

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>this make sense to me. They're they're growing meat because

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to have um, they don't want to

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>kill the animals, and they want to try to uh

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>prefer life or what did you just say, they want

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to preserve life? Yeah, okay, but you were just telling

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>us a few years ago that pork isn't good for you.

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Bacon ain't good for you. Then beef had the mad

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>cow disease, then chickens was nuts and everything else, and

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>but now y'all come up with coronavirus. I tell you what,

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to continue doing what I've been doing and

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>make it work for me. This is the idea. Is

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>actually called cultured meat, and it's meat produced by in

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.439
<v Speaker 1>vitro cell culture of animal cells instead of from slaughtered animals.

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 1>It's a form of cellular agriculture. Culture. Meat is produced

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>using many of the same tissues. It's just engineered and

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>done in a technique to taste like and feel like meat.

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 1>According to the Bible, Jesus and them a goats, they

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>slaughtered some lambs a baby. They was okay for them.

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 1>It was just okay for me. If it was okay

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 1>with Jesus, it's okay with that baby, it's good enough

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 1>for me. I'm not eating the process me. I never

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 1>had an impossible burger, because it sounds impossible for me

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to put that in my mouth. We today have a

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>very special guest joining us momentarily that we're extremely excited about.

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>You've seen her in so many different things. I think

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>what's most notable about her that you were. Her most

0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 1>memorable role will probably probably be Gina from Martin from

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the Main Lions Show, where she absolutely just killed that

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>role like you wouldn't believe. But she has so many

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 1>roles and so many things up under her repertoire. And

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>she's a triple well, she's a quadruple threat because she's

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 1>an actress, singer, dancer, but she's also a mother, yes,

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>your parents. That might be harder than all the other

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>three put together, especially in the midst of a pandemic,

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, flame You and I talked about too, just

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the amount of work it takes to do what it

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.080
<v Speaker 1>is that one does in Hollywood in a in a career,

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>because one of the things we've talked about is how

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>she has had to evolve and change with the times.

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 1>She's a singer, she's a dancer, she's done theater, she's

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>done Broadway. Um, what does it take to manage and

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>maintain a career and that that amount of longevity. I think,

0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>especially when you're a black woman, you have to be

0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>good at everything because you're always being Like we talked about,

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you will always have to prove yourself. So from one

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>level to the next level, to the next level. You

0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>always have to prove yourself. Well, hello, you got on you.

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be alone tonight. I don't want

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 1>to be alone. Let's scamble stopped because I'm already flamed

0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:31.720
<v Speaker 1>some people who um passed away suddenly, but um, I'm

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:36.160
<v Speaker 1>doing good. My kids are amazing. Um. You know, I

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 1>just I took the time out through this pandemic to

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.240
<v Speaker 1>just kind of be still because you don't have no choice.

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Well that part and then, um, but it was amazing

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.960
<v Speaker 1>spending that time with my kids. Well, since you brought

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 1>up your children, let me let me cause I'm a

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 1>parent as well. You have two children. I have three. No,

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I called you the other day at your house. Oh

0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 1>my god, exactly, so you know I'm picking up the

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.919
<v Speaker 1>right So let me ask your T shirt because you

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 1>have a son that's nineteen years old, and your son

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 1>stuffers with a tabit of autism. Right, but you as

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.199
<v Speaker 1>a parent, because you know I had the research and

0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.159
<v Speaker 1>see all this, I did not. I knew you had

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 1>an autistic some but I didn't know how much work

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.840
<v Speaker 1>you had spent with your son to show him how

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:24.160
<v Speaker 1>to be whatever we consider normal that your son drives

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 1>and he's very responsible for himself. And Kevin Mays, who

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.880
<v Speaker 1>was a mutual friend of ours who introduced me to you,

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>always talked about what an amazing parent you were to

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 1>take that patience and take that time with your autistics

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 1>on to just make him perfect. You have made him

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.440
<v Speaker 1>special because you took the time. Everybody is not able

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to do that. So outside of all the other stuff

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 1>that you've done it, I accept the diagnosis, but I

0:18:53.320 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 1>don't accept the label. So it was really all about um,

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 1>you want to be as independent of me as possible,

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>because when you get at diagnosis, it's the scariest thing

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>in the world. And as a parent, you know it's

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:13.920
<v Speaker 1>almost like somebody came in stole your child's spirit and

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 1>now you're left with an empty shell. At first, that's

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:19.919
<v Speaker 1>when you first get that diagnosis because you're just like,

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.680
<v Speaker 1>what is happening and you would do anything to save

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>your child's life. But one of the Holly Robinson Pete

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 1>was one of the first people that I have reached

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.439
<v Speaker 1>out to and she was like, you ready for the work.

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>She got me. Ever, all the way quick because at

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.200
<v Speaker 1>first she was like, I'm so sorry, that's what there's

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Her voice changed on me. It flipped on me, and

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.200
<v Speaker 1>she was like, Okay, you ready, You ready for the work.

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, yeah, I'll do anything. She's like, no,

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 1>are you ready? Because you gotta be ready, you gotta

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.240
<v Speaker 1>you gotta move, you gotta try all kinds of different things.

0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 1>It may not work. Go go with what your gut

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 1>is telling you. And it was all of those things

0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 1>that I really needed. And she was one of those

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>people that was really there for me and if every

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 1>beginning and she just you know, and I gave myself

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.960
<v Speaker 1>three days degree. It happened on a Friday. I gave

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.400
<v Speaker 1>myself three days degree. And I was like, all right,

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.960
<v Speaker 1>on Monday, you're gonna get up, you're gonna advocate, and

0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna fight for your child. And so that's what

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I did. And so I didn't. I wasn't in denial. Um.

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I kind of knew something was up earlier. UM. And

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it has a lot to do with the

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.560
<v Speaker 1>fact that I'm an actor. I think that was the

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 1>reason I became an actor, is because what we do

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 1>is we we we study human behavior and we try

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.880
<v Speaker 1>to master emotions, and when I saw a lack thereof

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I knew something was up. So I was doing early

0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 1>intervention and didn't even realize that. You know what I

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 1>commend about you because there was a lesson in what

0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you just told me. Outside of evenit or what Holly

0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Robinson and you had to do the work. The lesson

0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.480
<v Speaker 1>was when she came to you and you said, she

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 1>flipped her tone, and you didn't take that aggressive. You

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:06.959
<v Speaker 1>didn't take like she was attacking you. You took that

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>message and you you held onto it and you made

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.520
<v Speaker 1>it work for you. Kind of like when I first

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.359
<v Speaker 1>started doing track, there was a queen who told me

0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I was a mess. She told me I was terrible.

0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Instead of me taking that and saying I was defeated,

0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:20.720
<v Speaker 1>she put a fire up under my ass to say,

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 1>get better, do better, be great. I love her to

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:25.680
<v Speaker 1>this day. She did years ago, but we both knew

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.359
<v Speaker 1>her and love it. So I love that message, teacher,

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:29.679
<v Speaker 1>And I know a lot of people didn't know that

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:31.440
<v Speaker 1>because everybody come on me to come on and talk

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 1>about all your accolades, and I'm gonna get to that too,

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 1>But I want to commend you as a parent. No,

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.679
<v Speaker 1>I like you told me when you told me honey,

0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you said, we're gonna talk about everything. And I kind

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 1>of like that because I like for people to get

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 1>to know me past the persona you know what I mean.

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 1>M hmm. And we are over here and that I

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:54.760
<v Speaker 1>love that lipstick to let me say that, that's cute.

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I want you to look at my handsome partner. I

0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 1>want to ask you more about parenthood and and being

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a mom, because um, you know, and now you're you're

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:07.399
<v Speaker 1>moving and operating as a single mom, you know. And

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in the house of a single parent,

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and I know the work that goes into raising a

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 1>black boy, and I know the work that goes into

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to manage and do it all alone. There talk

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.119
<v Speaker 1>to us about how you're doing that right now in

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the midst of COVID, with everything happening right now, and

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:26.480
<v Speaker 1>still trying to, you know, provide a safe space for them. Well,

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what it was. It was a great time

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:33.280
<v Speaker 1>for me. You know how black people do half the time,

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 1>like you know what we were. If we're put in

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a bad situation, you make we take those lemonades and

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:41.200
<v Speaker 1>we make I mean, we take those limbits and we

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 1>make lemonade. Right. I always say, I always say, you

0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 1>give me some intestines. I would make some chiplends. Just

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 1>clean the first girl, just the first of the worst situation,

0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and we can all from it. Like at that, moll

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Okay, I got my kids with me.

0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna work hard to make sure that I had

0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:10.520
<v Speaker 1>time to put into them, time that I didn't have before.

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:14.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, we played, we played games, we talked, we

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:18.120
<v Speaker 1>had dinners. Not that I didn't do this before, but really,

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 1>sit down, you know, what's your future life? What we

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:25.520
<v Speaker 1>were having these conversations about the money. And we don't

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:29.159
<v Speaker 1>teach our children about finances. We don't teach them not

0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to be afraid of it. You know, it's just not

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:35.439
<v Speaker 1>embedded in our you know, that's when I brought up

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that way. So teaching my children out to save and

0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 1>what that means and and how to you know, navigate

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>around money and understanding because I'm trying to learn it

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.640
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, because everybody did that for me.

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:54.159
<v Speaker 1>You gotta remember, I I grew up as a I

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:57.639
<v Speaker 1>was in this business at three years old, so and

0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:01.040
<v Speaker 1>then I went straight into a marriage. You know, what

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean from her. So I went from household to

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 1>household where everybody else was taking care of the finances,

0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 1>and so as I'm being taught, I'm teaching. So we

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:12.720
<v Speaker 1>had those moments and we really got close and we

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 1>played games and we took walks and we it was

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:21.679
<v Speaker 1>it was such a wonderful bonding moment for us. You know,

0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:25.159
<v Speaker 1>we got to talk about a lot of stuff. To Tasha,

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:27.960
<v Speaker 1>when those conversations that you have with your children, when

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 1>you because I'm with you, I'm We've been having a

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.439
<v Speaker 1>lot more sit down dinner. Are you amazed at some

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 1>of the things that your kids know that you'd be like,

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:36.879
<v Speaker 1>I tried to shelter you from that. You know about this,

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I'm not be amazed, Like, oh my god,

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:41.199
<v Speaker 1>you heard that my kids know some stuff that I

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>thought I would never hear them say. But I'm like, baby,

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I had to take my wig off and scratch my head,

0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I promise. So Teching. When you were a young girl,

0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 1>did you aspire to be an actress, a singer, or

0:24:56.040 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 1>a dancer? Which one was your first love? Or comedian music?

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Singing I took from a musical family. My mother. You

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 1>got to push all the drag queens used to do

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 1>push Baby. We all pushed. I was pushing and getting

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:15.359
<v Speaker 1>pushed up on. I'm pushing them up now. From a

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:19.399
<v Speaker 1>gospel house, a gospel background. So yeah, my mother, my mother,

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:25.159
<v Speaker 1>my mother's uh gospel group were called the Shockoley Singers.

0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what made a name, the Shockoley Singers. And they

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 1>were kids, but they said background for Mehellia Jackson. So

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:35.399
<v Speaker 1>and then I just found out that they had a

0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 1>pop name too, which was called the Lollipops. And that's

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a whole another story. But they But but I learned

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot because my mother, actually I was I asked

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:48.719
<v Speaker 1>her recently because I got sent all these pictures from

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.119
<v Speaker 1>this woman in Europe who's like obsessed with, you know,

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:54.880
<v Speaker 1>girl groups, and she said, um, yeah, I said, were

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you having a group called Lollipops? She was like, oh yeah,

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I like mom. So the mother so the mother was

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:02.960
<v Speaker 1>she was the church woman in the daytime and she

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>was p valley at night. Yet because I was called

0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:12.640
<v Speaker 1>but here here's the thing that my mother, I think

0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:16.120
<v Speaker 1>was like eight when they were the Lollipops, and she

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:20.679
<v Speaker 1>said she remembers having to um when she sang the

0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:24.440
<v Speaker 1>song they had to stand behind curtains and have a

0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Caucasian three Caucasian girls sing their parts, and she said

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 1>it devastated her from the business. Um that and many

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:38.200
<v Speaker 1>other things that she saw in this business, but having

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:42.120
<v Speaker 1>to have somebody else sing your parts and it's you

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and because they're white, Tisha, you mentioned something I want

0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:48.199
<v Speaker 1>to touch on and and because I want to go

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:50.200
<v Speaker 1>back into the career. But you were just talking about

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 1>fiscal and financial responsibility. Uh tsha. You know, we've tried

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 1>to read a little bit of everything. But when you

0:26:57.280 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 1>when you actually left your marriage, is it true that

0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:04.359
<v Speaker 1>you were broke? Did you what? What was your situation? Like, No,

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:07.600
<v Speaker 1>that's true. I'm not gonna have seven dollars in the bank.

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>No no, no, no, no, no, I had. I was

0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:13.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to buy a knife for seven dollars, but I

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:15.959
<v Speaker 1>had like twenty something dollars. Well I'm glad you had

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 1>to get the knife, because who was you gonna use

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that knife? Phone? Okay, nobody. Every Christmas I would have like,

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 1>oh man, like thirty forty people at my old house.

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And once I left, I actually had to move into

0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 1>a five square foot apartment. And um, while you know,

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 1>they were going back and forth to the old house

0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and to my five square foot apartment. You know I

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:48.920
<v Speaker 1>had to, you know, I well, let me just put

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>it this way. I talked about how being responsible with

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 1>your gifts, and I knew that I was always responsible.

0:27:57.920 --> 0:28:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I did my best with my gifts that guy gave

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 1>me and utilize it as a platform um for the

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:09.240
<v Speaker 1>for the greater good, whether it's for my community, my family, whatever.

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 1>So I knew that I will work um because I

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:17.199
<v Speaker 1>just I pushed that hard. I'm really aggressive when it

0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:22.439
<v Speaker 1>comes to career, and I'm proud of how I have

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the relationships that I have in this business because I'm

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.440
<v Speaker 1>always kind, and I have work ethic and I'm professional

0:28:28.520 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 1>and I do what I'm supposed to do. But you

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>know that part going back to zero from whence I

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:40.760
<v Speaker 1>had come it was probably the best thing that I

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:45.920
<v Speaker 1>had that has ever happened to me. Well, you know,

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I talked about it being a beautiful devastation, like when

0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you have to start over, you don't know why, you

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know why you're in this situation, what is happening,

0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:59.520
<v Speaker 1>how this happened, And when you start, when you have

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to go to zero, you have to look within, and

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you have to have faith. And so this is the

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>first time in my life I can say that I

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 1>had true faith, because faith, to me was you get

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 1>on your knees, you pray, you get up, you do

0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the work. That's what I thought it was. But when

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 1>you're at zero and you don't have and you don't

0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 1>know how you're gonna eat, and you have to start

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:24.280
<v Speaker 1>all over, and you have to define who your real

0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:26.280
<v Speaker 1>friends are, and you have to you know, all of

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:30.240
<v Speaker 1>these things come into play, and you have some angels

0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:34.960
<v Speaker 1>around you. You have angels that come in like Regina

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and Toshina and you know, my friend Danny and all

0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 1>my brother Stan and all of these people who just

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:45.880
<v Speaker 1>say we're not gonna let you fall. And they didn't

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:54.000
<v Speaker 1>like like literally three days after, like about three three

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 1>or four days, three or four days after, I moved

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 1>into the five Hood Square for the department. And I

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 1>mind you, I hadn't lived in an apartment since I

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>was in my twenties. Um three days later I get

0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a call that I got the Regina King pilot. So

0:30:14.840 --> 0:30:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you have these angels that swooped down and it's like

0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:19.640
<v Speaker 1>she didn't even know because I kept a secret by

0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the way I didn't tell anybody. I told nobody that

0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, we were separated. I kept a secret and

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>nobody knew. And so you know, you know, I love

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 1>that story and I love that you found your purpose

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.360
<v Speaker 1>through that because a lot of people that things break

0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 1>them and they just they just flatland and just like

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't do it anymore. But girl, I'm telling you,

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:40.120
<v Speaker 1>when you got the strength and you have a purpose

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and you know that that fire is burning in you

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:44.720
<v Speaker 1>because you knew that that fire was burning into with

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>that faith, girl, that is that is unstoppable. That is

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 1>like a say. I had to find my faith. I

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 1>had to understand and I had to keep going. I

0:30:54.360 --> 0:30:56.960
<v Speaker 1>even had a person named Shanty DAWs who was right

0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 1>there with me at the moment of where I was like,

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much more I can take. And

0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:05.479
<v Speaker 1>there are those moments. Don't get me wrong. I'm not

0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:10.720
<v Speaker 1>just the fire like I could just you know, I

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:12.440
<v Speaker 1>was broken and I was like, how am I gonna

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:16.080
<v Speaker 1>feed my kids? And how could this possibly be me

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 1>in the situation? But I was okay because I still

0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:23.880
<v Speaker 1>had I still had solid ground to walk on with

0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 1>God and my kids and my and my true friends

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:31.760
<v Speaker 1>and my family members who were like, I'm gonna be

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the friend that you need, the way that you need,

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.200
<v Speaker 1>because I was always there for everybody else. You know what,

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:40.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, what's wonderful about that, teach allow me to

0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 1>cut you off. What's wonderful about that is that your

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>children were your purpose for you not to go into

0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 1>the dark cold. So you couldn't get in a fetal

0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:50.320
<v Speaker 1>position and be depressed because you always had somebody that

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 1>relied on you and you had to be responsible for

0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a girl. I know that, I know that role just

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>like it happened yesterday, and I had a three month old,

0:31:57.640 --> 0:31:59.320
<v Speaker 1>a three year old, and a three half year old,

0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 1>so I exactly. You know, you can't even get depressed.

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:06.400
<v Speaker 1>You're functioning depressed because you've got somebody that you're responsible

0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 1>for that means more to you than to yourself. You

0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 1>have somebody like that. A J. Johnson, who I've known,

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, which gosh for a very she's not only

0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>an actress, but she's also a life coach and those

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 1>she popped into my life. There was this one situation, though,

0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:31.800

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:33.800
<v Speaker 1>of it. I wanted to she was trying to tell

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:38.680
<v Speaker 1>me that a friend wasn't being a friend. And I

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 1>was so used to in my old and old Tisha

0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:46.640
<v Speaker 1>land of protecting anyone it didn't matter what they ever

0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 1>did to me, right, But she was trying to tell

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 1>me this friend isn't being a friend and I literally concurs,

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.800

0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>she was like okay. The next day she called me

0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:20.280
<v Speaker 1>on the phone and goes, hey, I'm just checking on you.

0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I just kick you. She was like, I am going

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:31.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the type of friend that you need, not

<v Speaker 1>the type of friends that's gonna walk away from you

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:38.360

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:55.320
<v Speaker 1>She understood that I couldn't see and that I was

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 1>blind and that I had a veil over my face.

0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of times, y'all, I talk a

0:34:01.120 --> 0:34:07.800
<v Speaker 1>lot too, so we want out of times this. This

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 1>business has shield well, my my work shield shielded me

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 1>from a lot of the stuff that goes on in

0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:22.759
<v Speaker 1>this Hollywood game because I've been working work, Wark work, Barka,

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:26.879
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't see. So there's a lot going on

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:31.839
<v Speaker 1>in this place. Because people would go, people say stuff

0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 1>about Hollywood. I talk what I'm saying like, I literally

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:42.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, I don't see what you see. Because I

0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:46.920
<v Speaker 1>thought I had the greatest friends ever and that the

0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:50.080
<v Speaker 1>people that I'm connected to or I can't help them

0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 1>make be better people or something. But that's not necessarily

0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the case. Sometimes I think people come out here and

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 1>they're so obsessed with power and money and prestige that

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do it for that reason. So at three

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.680
<v Speaker 1>or four or five, I got into the business to

0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:14.879
<v Speaker 1>help my parents. I got into the business to help

0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 1>other people, and that continued to be the theme of

0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:23.919
<v Speaker 1>my career, was to help help help others. But now

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm at a place where I'm like, I need to

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:30.560
<v Speaker 1>help me and know who I am and really so

0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the COVID isolation gave me the opportunities to just be

0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 1>still and really learn who Tsha is. And it was

0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the most amazing experience because what I didn't know about

0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Tsha was that I had a lot of creating me

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:55.280
<v Speaker 1>and I know that I like to use my platform

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:59.200
<v Speaker 1>for the betterment, so I can do all of those things.

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:02.239
<v Speaker 1>And I had nobody in my ear telling me what

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't do that I'm not and I started to

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:12.920
<v Speaker 1>create all of these different shows and all of these

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:17.200
<v Speaker 1>i'm developing. I got four shows in development right now,

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Thank you God. And um, I'm proud of myself because

0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I took what I knew to be true, which was

0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:32.960
<v Speaker 1>my create and I made that build me up and

0:36:34.239 --> 0:36:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel so free, so amazing. I feel like a

0:36:39.239 --> 0:36:41.879
<v Speaker 1>better mother, I feel like a better person, I feel

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:44.840
<v Speaker 1>like a better friend. And I think that's where I

0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:46.759
<v Speaker 1>am right now. Well, I'm proud of you too. Let

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:48.239
<v Speaker 1>me just say that, and I wanna be I know,

0:36:48.280 --> 0:36:49.480
<v Speaker 1>if you think I got a question, he wants to

0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 1>ask what I want to ask. Out of all your

0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:54.040

<v Speaker 1>a movie, which one was your personal favorite, So between

<v Speaker 1>Jay or Gina uh or because you know, we all

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:03.759
<v Speaker 1>know you as we know you. For Jane, I love

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 1>you as j though, because you were older and you

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.680

0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:10.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna put me on the show? I told David was

<v Speaker 1>gonna put me on as your brother, but they Yeah,

0:37:16.160 --> 0:37:20.880
<v Speaker 1>what's was your favorite T shirt? You know what? Um,

0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to choose. Its like apples and oranges. But

0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually rediscovering the Martin Show because I never watched it,

0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? Neither Sheena nor I watch

0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:31.960
<v Speaker 1>our work. Right man, why didn't you watch it? Why

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:35.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't you watch it? We just to Shea and I

0:37:35.480 --> 0:37:38.640
<v Speaker 1>come from the theater and we come from, um this

0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:43.040
<v Speaker 1>different type of hustle. And so you know she's from Queens,

0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm from Jersey and um, once you finish your job,

0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:49.440
<v Speaker 1>you just move on and you're trying to get to

0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the next one, you know what I mean? You know what?

0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:54.400
<v Speaker 1>You have said a couple of things that just remind

0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:57.000
<v Speaker 1>me of my partner. Right now, Flame is done, flame,

0:37:57.120 --> 0:37:58.839
<v Speaker 1>Flame will work on the show, work on the set.

0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:01.080
<v Speaker 1>And I said flame abou last It's like Nick, I'm

0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 1>moving on to the next thing. I have to put

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:04.239
<v Speaker 1>that behind me and work on the next Talk to

0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:06.200
<v Speaker 1>us about that, that thought process, because the rest of

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:07.880
<v Speaker 1>us is sitting here and like, wait a minute, but

0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:10.319
<v Speaker 1>you killed that, Tisha, Why are you not doing the

0:38:10.360 --> 0:38:12.480
<v Speaker 1>same thing again and again and again? And that's not

0:38:12.520 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the way it works. Well, I think I think one

0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 1>has to remember that they have to recreate themselves and

0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 1>recreate themselves. And I think it also comes from the

0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:24.399
<v Speaker 1>fact that um to Sheina and I both Regina think

0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 1>all of these people know that the actual career lifespan

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:34.760
<v Speaker 1>of an actor is only five years. So in order

0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:41.400
<v Speaker 1>to elongate your career, one has to evolve and you

0:38:41.520 --> 0:38:44.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta keep And speaking of to Sheena, because you guys

0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:46.759
<v Speaker 1>just came from hosting the Sole Training Awards for the

0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:48.520
<v Speaker 1>second time. I talked bad about you about the pending

0:38:48.520 --> 0:38:49.960
<v Speaker 1>of the outfit last week. To let me tell you

0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:53.320
<v Speaker 1>their van. It was the first. It was the first

0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:57.520
<v Speaker 1>please girl, It was the first please for me. I

0:38:57.520 --> 0:38:59.080
<v Speaker 1>was like, wait a minute, now, who put it in

0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:05.320
<v Speaker 1>this monkey hair? But you? But to Sheina was on

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:07.799
<v Speaker 1>one of my absolute favorite shows and we were just

0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:10.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about we got here to the studio survivor's remorse.

0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you how dope that show and that

0:39:13.920 --> 0:39:16.640
<v Speaker 1>writing was, and to Sina killed that role with that

0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Asian actor as her boyfriend baby left and and I

0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:22.760
<v Speaker 1>got my ups and downs with your with your girlfriend

0:39:22.760 --> 0:39:25.239
<v Speaker 1>to China. But I sent a Twitter message and told

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:27.640
<v Speaker 1>her about it, about the BT comedy Wars years ago,

0:39:27.640 --> 0:39:29.520
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand fact, we talked about that another day

0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 1>offline because yeah, that's your girlfriend. I like her too,

0:39:32.160 --> 0:39:34.279
<v Speaker 1>because she's a brilliant actress. I don't know what keep

0:39:34.320 --> 0:39:38.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about. I say, I'll tell you offline before you

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:40.600
<v Speaker 1>get back to that. We still want to know what

0:39:40.640 --> 0:39:43.960
<v Speaker 1>your favorite role was. Okay, So back to that, Like,

0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just starting to look at the Martin Show again

0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:50.680
<v Speaker 1>because all these pennials and Generation Z they're obsessed with

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:57.239
<v Speaker 1>the nineties. And so I keeps me again going back

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to evolving and recreating yourself. It keeps me a millennial

0:40:01.360 --> 0:40:05.200
<v Speaker 1>around me at all times, okay, because I got to

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:09.840
<v Speaker 1>keep it fresh. So one of my friends, who who

0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:14.520
<v Speaker 1>is younger, she would always quote Martin Show quote at me,

0:40:15.080 --> 0:40:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and I will be looking at her like, what are

0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:19.319
<v Speaker 1>you talking about? Like, and she would go, you don't

0:40:19.360 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 1>know what look at the white shoes. Look at the

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:25.040
<v Speaker 1>white shoes is And I was like, no, is that

0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:29.400
<v Speaker 1>from the Martin Show again, I'm google it. I was like,

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:31.760
<v Speaker 1>you will not google to look at the white shoes

0:40:31.800 --> 0:40:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and it will pop up and showing up my three

0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 1>T shirt. I'm sorry. My three favorite episodes of you

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:39.239
<v Speaker 1>on Martin one when you had on the powder the

0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>blue dress with the split and you and Martin was

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to battle who could go longest without sex and

0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:46.000
<v Speaker 1>when he picked you up and he said, girl, I

0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:49.239
<v Speaker 1>could not. I love that. When Martin got beat up

0:40:49.280 --> 0:40:51.280
<v Speaker 1>by the boxer and he had the great, big gass

0:40:51.320 --> 0:40:52.759
<v Speaker 1>head with all the nots on it, you had to

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:55.640
<v Speaker 1>kiss them. That was hilarious. Y'all started dancing and twerking.

0:40:56.000 --> 0:40:59.319
<v Speaker 1>You was working long before twerking. And my absolute third

0:40:59.560 --> 0:41:02.120
<v Speaker 1>third every episode is when you sang in the black

0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:05.400
<v Speaker 1>mini dress with his t strap dress and you're saying, um,

0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:11.719
<v Speaker 1>Tina Marie firing desire girl. That was the one that

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:13.920
<v Speaker 1>show can be put in the time cap so for

0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:16.840
<v Speaker 1>two thousand years from now and still be very relevant.

0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:19.520
<v Speaker 1>That was a great But you know what's interesting, we

0:41:19.560 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what was gonna be like that Wow, it

0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:25.839
<v Speaker 1>was fucking and it was the ensemble cast that was

0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:28.879
<v Speaker 1>so great. It was not just Martin and just you.

0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:31.680
<v Speaker 1>It was t Shirt, it was called Payne, it was

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Ford. Made he rest in peace. So once he passed,

0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:36.359
<v Speaker 1>I was so glad that you guys did not do

0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the reboot because I didn't want to see anybody else

0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:40.960
<v Speaker 1>play his role. I only wanted him. And we were

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:44.200
<v Speaker 1>just talking about how that show stands and with some

0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest shows ever. But because we've talked about

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Norman lear Well, Flame and I just talked about an

0:41:48.600 --> 0:41:50.759
<v Speaker 1>episode of Maud and how it was. It was the

0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:53.960
<v Speaker 1>it was the collaboration, it was the ensemble cast, and

0:41:54.000 --> 0:41:57.160
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly what you all did. And you all were relatable,

0:41:57.239 --> 0:41:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think you need to know how much you

0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 1>meant too fair families that you know, teacher, I don't

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:04.440
<v Speaker 1>know how many people you get a chance to interact with,

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:06.879
<v Speaker 1>but it was it was a moment where you could

0:42:06.920 --> 0:42:08.840
<v Speaker 1>sit down with the family. I grew up in a

0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:11.360
<v Speaker 1>single parent home, Tisha, and we would my mother and

0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I would watch this show and we would laugh together

0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:16.200
<v Speaker 1>because it was always just enough. It wasn't too much

0:42:16.239 --> 0:42:17.959
<v Speaker 1>where you weren't embarrassed to sit there with your mama

0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:20.239
<v Speaker 1>and watch you know what I'm talking about. But it

0:42:20.280 --> 0:42:22.120
<v Speaker 1>was one of those things. It was this good family

0:42:22.160 --> 0:42:23.920
<v Speaker 1>fund and it was it was it was it was

0:42:24.000 --> 0:42:26.560
<v Speaker 1>black excellence, Tisha, and it was just it was just

0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:29.640
<v Speaker 1>a joy to to actually watch that moment and and

0:42:29.640 --> 0:42:31.959
<v Speaker 1>just see you and again this was this was mama,

0:42:32.000 --> 0:42:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that's teaching from a little little shop of horse, you know.

0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:36.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's just one of those things where it's just

0:42:36.080 --> 0:42:38.839
<v Speaker 1>always been so much. We went in there to just

0:42:39.000 --> 0:42:41.319
<v Speaker 1>make people laugh and feed our families. But we never

0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:44.920
<v Speaker 1>thought that it would, you know, like be like the

0:42:45.000 --> 0:42:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Brady Bunch or I Love Lucy, where it just keeps

0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:51.319
<v Speaker 1>going on and on and on and new new generations

0:42:51.400 --> 0:42:54.239
<v Speaker 1>discover it. We didn't think. We we when we sit

0:42:54.320 --> 0:42:57.560
<v Speaker 1>down and talk, were like, can you believe this? We're

0:42:57.719 --> 0:43:00.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of in shock that people refer to us as icon.

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:05.160
<v Speaker 1>We really did not know that. We did not know

0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:08.120
<v Speaker 1>or see that comment. But I think the best part

0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:11.200
<v Speaker 1>of that was I still didn't answer your question. By

0:43:11.200 --> 0:43:14.719
<v Speaker 1>the way, I don't I don't hear me, sister. I'm

0:43:14.719 --> 0:43:17.200
<v Speaker 1>paying very close attention. I am, I just like I'm

0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 1>not gonna push on that, but I'm enjoying rediscovering these

0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:25.000
<v Speaker 1>two characters, Martin and Gina. It's really nice. I mean,

0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:27.880
<v Speaker 1>people write songs about it. It's it's so interesting. My

0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:30.880
<v Speaker 1>children enjoyed Martin. My children love Martin. They watched the

0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Martin Show. They loved Martin Show. They when I told

0:43:33.160 --> 0:43:34.960
<v Speaker 1>him I was interviewing you, my daughters were like, you

0:43:35.040 --> 0:43:38.200
<v Speaker 1>gotta view her. They loved the episode when you were

0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:41.040
<v Speaker 1>trying with Biggie Small. So that's triple the producer here.

0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:42.840
<v Speaker 1>She loves the episode when you and when you and

0:43:42.840 --> 0:43:46.080
<v Speaker 1>pay him to Sheina, Oh, triple says she loves you

0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:48.160
<v Speaker 1>when you and Shea were trying to devide for Biggie

0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Small attention when he was having the talent show. Yeah,

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:53.320
<v Speaker 1>she said, she absolutely loves that. That's her favorite episode.

0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:55.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, I love I love being able to you know,

0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to Sheina and not even known each other since we

0:43:57.200 --> 0:44:01.120
<v Speaker 1>were eleven and twelve years old, and um, it was

0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:04.279
<v Speaker 1>a blessing to be able to do a show like

0:44:04.360 --> 0:44:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that with one of your friends. You know, that's the

0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:09.640
<v Speaker 1>best Sis I've known. And like you said, I did

0:44:09.640 --> 0:44:11.080
<v Speaker 1>a little type of Horrors with her when I was

0:44:11.120 --> 0:44:16.040
<v Speaker 1>sixteen years old, and we've been hanging in there and um,

0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:20.439
<v Speaker 1>we have that knowledge that about only having a five

0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:25.400
<v Speaker 1>year career lifespan, we we keep doing our best to

0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:30.279
<v Speaker 1>entertain people and we've we're honored to have surpassed those

0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:32.839
<v Speaker 1>five years and to have served people in that way.

0:44:33.040 --> 0:44:35.000
<v Speaker 1>So let me ask you a question, T Shirt. When

0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:37.040
<v Speaker 1>did you and to Sheina ever have to go up

0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:39.200
<v Speaker 1>against each other for roles and one of you all

0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:42.560
<v Speaker 1>got the role? So because you know, we always like

0:44:42.600 --> 0:44:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I want this role, I want this role, but your friends?

0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Had that ever become an issue? Did that ever money

0:44:48.280 --> 0:44:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the waters in your relationship? I love that? I love

0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:53.319
<v Speaker 1>that that never did? I think when we first met,

0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:57.319
<v Speaker 1>we met on an audition and we were the only

0:44:57.320 --> 0:45:00.680
<v Speaker 1>two people talking to one another and everybody else was

0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:03.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, snooty Ear doesn't want to you know,

0:45:04.040 --> 0:45:06.759
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to have conversations, and we just gravitated

0:45:06.800 --> 0:45:09.879
<v Speaker 1>to one another. And then next thing you know, I'm

0:45:09.920 --> 0:45:12.040
<v Speaker 1>calling her, Yo, you heard about this audition, and she

0:45:12.160 --> 0:45:14.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, nah, it's like all right, come on and

0:45:14.840 --> 0:45:16.879
<v Speaker 1>roll with me to this this audition. To just write

0:45:16.880 --> 0:45:19.000
<v Speaker 1>your agents name down like I would tell her about

0:45:19.000 --> 0:45:21.520
<v Speaker 1>stuff because because it was like, if I don't get it,

0:45:21.560 --> 0:45:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I hope she does. And that's the viewpoint we both

0:45:27.080 --> 0:45:30.080
<v Speaker 1>had about each other. And we've been, you know, silently

0:45:30.280 --> 0:45:32.919
<v Speaker 1>cheering each other on. We've even had our moments where

0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:36.600
<v Speaker 1>we have gone and and and you know, lived our

0:45:36.640 --> 0:45:40.560
<v Speaker 1>lives separately, and you know, she's still working, I was

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:45.600
<v Speaker 1>still working. But we were always silently supportive of one another.

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:48.840
<v Speaker 1>And now you know, coming being able to come together

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:51.319
<v Speaker 1>and do these kind of things and her, you know,

0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:55.640
<v Speaker 1>her jokes and she's just the funniest girl. Both of

0:45:55.680 --> 0:45:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you guys are great singers. But when I love that

0:45:58.080 --> 0:46:00.480
<v Speaker 1>about that message that you just so it more women,

0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:02.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'm talking to women, not just black women, but

0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:04.719
<v Speaker 1>if more women can found the spirit to uplift their

0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:07.000
<v Speaker 1>friends and their people in their lives to say, I

0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:09.879
<v Speaker 1>encourage you, do you. But I always wish the best

0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:12.160
<v Speaker 1>for people too. I mean teach I call plenty ship,

0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I talk plenty ship. But I always feel like my

0:46:16.080 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 1>blessing is gonna come. Whatever guy gonna bring to me,

0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:20.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be ready to take it, and it's gonna

0:46:20.400 --> 0:46:22.400
<v Speaker 1>be for me. When my when Nick came on as

0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:24.759
<v Speaker 1>my partner, there was a no brainer about who I

0:46:24.800 --> 0:46:27.200
<v Speaker 1>wanted how I wanted to go half down the middle

0:46:27.200 --> 0:46:29.040
<v Speaker 1>because this is my partner. I didn't want him to

0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:31.080
<v Speaker 1>feel cheated. I didn't want to feel like I was

0:46:31.120 --> 0:46:33.880
<v Speaker 1>bigger than him or better than him. This is a partnership.

0:46:33.920 --> 0:46:36.320
<v Speaker 1>And I love that your friendship. You showed that because

0:46:36.520 --> 0:46:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people can take that a different way.

0:46:38.040 --> 0:46:39.719
<v Speaker 1>When she keep beating me out for roles, what if

0:46:39.760 --> 0:46:40.960
<v Speaker 1>she got three or four in a row and you

0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:43.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't get one. You didn't take it on the partner.

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:46.160
<v Speaker 1>You you encourage your friend. That's a whole woman right there.

0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:48.120
<v Speaker 1>All you half a bitches out here. I'm talking to

0:46:48.200 --> 0:46:52.719
<v Speaker 1>y'all because it's a whole woman right here. And it's

0:46:52.760 --> 0:46:55.239
<v Speaker 1>about knowing that if something's for you, it's for you,

0:46:55.640 --> 0:46:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and if it's not for you, for you. And I

0:46:58.080 --> 0:47:00.360
<v Speaker 1>kept telling Flame like, this is not out how the

0:47:00.400 --> 0:47:02.920
<v Speaker 1>business works. You don't you don't go out of your

0:47:02.960 --> 0:47:05.200
<v Speaker 1>way to help somebody else like that, and and Flames like,

0:47:05.239 --> 0:47:07.200
<v Speaker 1>this is the way I work. This is who I see.

0:47:07.360 --> 0:47:11.560
<v Speaker 1>That's funny. I don't understand that concept. So I've always

0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:13.960
<v Speaker 1>been that way, has always been that way. The people

0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:16.480
<v Speaker 1>that I love have always been that way. So we

0:47:16.600 --> 0:47:19.840
<v Speaker 1>always encourage one another, We we cheer for one another,

0:47:19.880 --> 0:47:22.279
<v Speaker 1>we root for one another. So I don't know any

0:47:22.280 --> 0:47:24.600
<v Speaker 1>other way of being. So when people say that it's

0:47:24.640 --> 0:47:28.040
<v Speaker 1>actually shocking. Yeah yeah, Tisha, do you still deal with

0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:30.000
<v Speaker 1>how do you deal with? Let me ask you this,

0:47:30.080 --> 0:47:33.200
<v Speaker 1>because again we're talking about friendships. I wouldn't be here

0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:35.560
<v Speaker 1>right now if we're not for this amazing soul sitting

0:47:35.560 --> 0:47:37.160
<v Speaker 1>next to me. Right, more than thirty years we've known

0:47:37.160 --> 0:47:41.520
<v Speaker 1>each other, right, I'm so it's one of those things

0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:44.560
<v Speaker 1>where I consider playing to be one of the best

0:47:44.600 --> 0:47:47.879
<v Speaker 1>blessings of my life period. Right. How do you deal

0:47:47.920 --> 0:47:51.960
<v Speaker 1>with even now, Tisha? Just disappointment or challenges you know,

0:47:52.040 --> 0:47:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and and what words or encouragement can give to people

0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:56.960
<v Speaker 1>because those moments do still come. Are there's still things

0:47:57.000 --> 0:47:59.600
<v Speaker 1>that you've worked for that you're like, why didn't that roll?

0:47:59.680 --> 0:48:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Or to such happen? How do you deal with that?

0:48:01.640 --> 0:48:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And what what words do you give of encouragement do

0:48:03.960 --> 0:48:07.080
<v Speaker 1>you give to those who may be aspiring? I think

0:48:07.440 --> 0:48:10.759
<v Speaker 1>there comes a time you know, as you're working on

0:48:10.800 --> 0:48:14.000
<v Speaker 1>your own mental wealth and health, as you're as you're

0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:17.240
<v Speaker 1>working on self, you realize that life is a balance.

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Bad things are gonna happen. Bad things are going to happen.

0:48:22.560 --> 0:48:25.600
<v Speaker 1>It's not that and it may be a different lesson.

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:28.680
<v Speaker 1>It may be the same bad thing that keeps happening, right,

0:48:30.440 --> 0:48:32.239
<v Speaker 1>But it's the way that you handle it. It's the

0:48:32.280 --> 0:48:33.719
<v Speaker 1>way that you deal with and maybe I have to

0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:35.560
<v Speaker 1>deal with it in a different way. I have to

0:48:35.760 --> 0:48:42.120
<v Speaker 1>learn that. Like I remember, even recently, Um, I was

0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:48.120
<v Speaker 1>having a meeting with a very big network. Uh, this

0:48:48.200 --> 0:48:49.880
<v Speaker 1>is only a couple day. I was having a meeting

0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:52.800
<v Speaker 1>with a really big network about one of my projects,

0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and it was so much good news. And then I

0:48:56.360 --> 0:49:03.520
<v Speaker 1>find out my friend passed away, Troy um Clark, and

0:49:04.280 --> 0:49:10.200
<v Speaker 1>it was like it's it's heartbreaking and it's shocking. And

0:49:10.280 --> 0:49:16.040
<v Speaker 1>at one moment I'm having the most amazing moment and

0:49:16.080 --> 0:49:22.799
<v Speaker 1>then the next it's like, so you learned to just

0:49:23.200 --> 0:49:27.239
<v Speaker 1>understand that life is a balance and it's all in

0:49:27.280 --> 0:49:30.640
<v Speaker 1>the way that you handle it. Like I encourage people

0:49:30.760 --> 0:49:36.680
<v Speaker 1>to seek therapy, life coach, whatever your thing is, UM,

0:49:36.880 --> 0:49:43.160
<v Speaker 1>spiritual coach. UM to Sina's aunt was really helpful. She's

0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:50.440
<v Speaker 1>a pastor UM and she was really helpful. You know, Um,

0:49:50.480 --> 0:49:53.239
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I have some really amazing people around me,

0:49:53.800 --> 0:49:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and just know. I think it's really important that people

0:49:56.320 --> 0:50:00.400
<v Speaker 1>know that life. Life is gonna balance itself out. Yes,

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask you a question. They have nothing

0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to do with the acting and nothing to do with

0:50:04.040 --> 0:50:06.160
<v Speaker 1>your career. I want to ask you about the vaccine.

0:50:06.280 --> 0:50:08.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, the vaccine. They're pushing it real hard to

0:50:08.920 --> 0:50:12.280
<v Speaker 1>come out this week, possibly Wednesday, as early as Wednesday.

0:50:13.239 --> 0:50:15.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't allow my children to take the flu shot,

0:50:15.400 --> 0:50:16.880
<v Speaker 1>so I know for a fact we're not taking I

0:50:16.960 --> 0:50:18.520
<v Speaker 1>want to ask you, how do you feel about the

0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:20.640
<v Speaker 1>vaccine teaching? What are you What are your thoughts on

0:50:20.880 --> 0:50:22.400
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to tell us whether you're taking or not,

0:50:22.480 --> 0:50:24.440
<v Speaker 1>but what are your what are your thoughts on it? Oh,

0:50:24.480 --> 0:50:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not taking it? Okay, there, you got there. You

0:50:26.760 --> 0:50:30.960
<v Speaker 1>don't come off saying I'm not taking it, because usually

0:50:31.080 --> 0:50:40.359
<v Speaker 1>it takes them years, right, right of just research and

0:50:41.040 --> 0:50:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not confident in the science. But that's just me, guys.

0:50:44.840 --> 0:50:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not INTI vaccines. It's what you want to do

0:50:48.280 --> 0:50:52.480
<v Speaker 1>with your body and your children and your family. I

0:50:52.640 --> 0:50:55.799
<v Speaker 1>personally do not take the flu shot because every time

0:50:56.080 --> 0:51:01.239
<v Speaker 1>I chuck it, I happened to get sick. Um, but

0:51:01.480 --> 0:51:04.360
<v Speaker 1>that's just me. I'm not saying that that's what it

0:51:04.400 --> 0:51:07.839
<v Speaker 1>does to everybody. But I'm gonna be real about it, like,

0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:15.240
<v Speaker 1>that's not that's not something that I personally I'm comfortable doing. Okay,

0:51:15.280 --> 0:51:17.279
<v Speaker 1>So let's make up. We gonna I want you to

0:51:17.320 --> 0:51:19.799
<v Speaker 1>sing because I've made up a song. I haven't made

0:51:19.840 --> 0:51:21.640
<v Speaker 1>up the words, but I have a title of a

0:51:21.680 --> 0:51:24.320
<v Speaker 1>song for the vaccine. It's called give It to Your Mama.

0:51:24.400 --> 0:51:26.239
<v Speaker 1>So go ahead and write a rap and sing about that.

0:51:26.320 --> 0:51:28.400
<v Speaker 1>It's called give it to your because I'm not taking it.

0:51:31.880 --> 0:51:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Are you excited now? You know, without going into anything

0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:36.959
<v Speaker 1>too political where you may not be comfortable talking about,

0:51:36.960 --> 0:51:39.239
<v Speaker 1>are you excited about the next four years? And are

0:51:39.440 --> 0:51:41.120
<v Speaker 1>did things shake out the way you wanted them to

0:51:41.200 --> 0:51:47.840
<v Speaker 1>with this? That's what I'm talking about. I expected to

0:51:47.960 --> 0:51:49.719
<v Speaker 1>say something like, well, actually, you know, I'm trying to

0:51:49.760 --> 0:51:55.399
<v Speaker 1>figure out where the administration made off. No, Listen, when

0:51:55.400 --> 0:52:00.000
<v Speaker 1>it comes to family and choices and vaccines and stuff,

0:52:00.080 --> 0:52:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't judge anybody for whatever that is. That is

0:52:04.960 --> 0:52:07.680
<v Speaker 1>totally what is up to them. But when it comes

0:52:07.719 --> 0:52:11.839
<v Speaker 1>to the next four years and getting rid of what

0:52:11.880 --> 0:52:15.839
<v Speaker 1>we've been through the demise of our country. I am very,

0:52:16.000 --> 0:52:18.759
<v Speaker 1>very excited, and I really you know that's why you

0:52:18.760 --> 0:52:20.719
<v Speaker 1>know when we you know, we produced the Whole Trade

0:52:20.719 --> 0:52:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Awards as well. I don't know that. Yeah, we produced

0:52:24.719 --> 0:52:27.600
<v Speaker 1>them as well, and so it was really important for

0:52:27.719 --> 0:52:31.360
<v Speaker 1>us to pay tribute to African American women because we

0:52:31.520 --> 0:52:35.680
<v Speaker 1>really came through this year. We did. You know, we

0:52:35.719 --> 0:52:40.560
<v Speaker 1>did it. We did it, We did we did did

0:52:40.600 --> 0:52:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you did you see I'm an African American one? Oh no,

0:52:42.560 --> 0:52:47.279
<v Speaker 1>I caught it. And wait a minute, hold on that

0:52:47.440 --> 0:52:49.759
<v Speaker 1>that's a school. Let me ask. Let me tell you

0:52:49.800 --> 0:52:53.120
<v Speaker 1>something as a transperformer, as a drag queen performer, so

0:52:53.120 --> 0:52:56.240
<v Speaker 1>many of us have done be alone tonight as production

0:52:56.280 --> 0:52:59.759
<v Speaker 1>numbers and then pages and contest and everybody tried to

0:52:59.760 --> 0:53:01.080
<v Speaker 1>look like you. I want you all to know I

0:53:01.160 --> 0:53:03.240
<v Speaker 1>headed down to a science when I was a younger girl.

0:53:03.640 --> 0:53:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Baby I had the body and everything did oh I did?

0:53:09.719 --> 0:53:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Baby girls on there were lovely. Uh some of them

0:53:13.480 --> 0:53:15.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't age that way, but all those girls were loving.

0:53:16.640 --> 0:53:18.160
<v Speaker 1>That was a joke. You missed it, that went over

0:53:18.200 --> 0:53:25.040
<v Speaker 1>your head. I'm pretending she knows who I'm talking about.

0:53:26.320 --> 0:53:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Just hold the smile, you know, I don't hear the

0:53:29.320 --> 0:53:32.400
<v Speaker 1>flame is talking about, don't play to me. You know

0:53:32.440 --> 0:53:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't raised right. I was raising in the projects

0:53:34.239 --> 0:53:35.920
<v Speaker 1>with a whole lot of boys. Used to catch a

0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:39.600
<v Speaker 1>girl kissing girl? Did you were you raising the projects?

0:53:39.719 --> 0:53:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm from North New Jerky. Most people don't know that

0:53:41.840 --> 0:53:43.759
<v Speaker 1>because I play a lot of buzzy roll. That was

0:53:43.840 --> 0:53:46.239
<v Speaker 1>the best living ever living in the projects when in

0:53:46.280 --> 0:53:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the seventies and eighties. I'm telling you all right now,

0:53:48.239 --> 0:53:50.040
<v Speaker 1>But I want to ask you a question, teacher, serious

0:53:50.120 --> 0:53:53.000
<v Speaker 1>questions in Chicago. I'm from Chicago. I grew up on

0:53:53.000 --> 0:53:55.319
<v Speaker 1>the Web. I grew up, I grew up on the

0:53:55.320 --> 0:53:57.279
<v Speaker 1>West Side. I was educated on the South Side. I

0:53:57.880 --> 0:53:59.759
<v Speaker 1>did my I came out on the No Side, but

0:53:59.800 --> 0:54:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I did my best work on the East Side. They

0:54:01.840 --> 0:54:03.759
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that means. Tcher. You know what I

0:54:03.800 --> 0:54:05.520
<v Speaker 1>want to see you do that I've never seen. I

0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:08.359
<v Speaker 1>want to see you do your serious series dramatic role.

0:54:08.400 --> 0:54:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever considered that I actually started out doing drama,

0:54:13.200 --> 0:54:16.440
<v Speaker 1>A lot of drama. Um, I could not get arrested

0:54:16.520 --> 0:54:22.080
<v Speaker 1>doing comedy. Oh yeah, if you wanted somebody to drop

0:54:22.080 --> 0:54:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a tear or two or five or twenty, teacher, was

0:54:25.920 --> 0:54:29.960
<v Speaker 1>your girl and um, I didn't know what comedy was

0:54:30.200 --> 0:54:33.799
<v Speaker 1>and nobody. In fact, I would audition for comedies and

0:54:34.280 --> 0:54:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I remember this one casting director one of those moments

0:54:37.040 --> 0:54:40.120
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about earlier that it was criticism, but

0:54:40.239 --> 0:54:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I actually took it to heart, not to heart, but

0:54:43.840 --> 0:54:48.240
<v Speaker 1>to the brain, and she said, you need sitcom classes

0:54:48.280 --> 0:54:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, Okay, where do I take those?

0:54:50.040 --> 0:54:55.239
<v Speaker 1>She's like, there aren't any. So I knew that all

0:54:55.280 --> 0:54:58.399
<v Speaker 1>these comedians were getting deals and I needed to if

0:54:58.400 --> 0:55:00.319
<v Speaker 1>I was going to get on a show, I had

0:55:00.360 --> 0:55:02.399
<v Speaker 1>to learn what it was. So I used to go

0:55:02.480 --> 0:55:05.320
<v Speaker 1>to the comedy act theater, comedy store, the laugh Factory,

0:55:05.440 --> 0:55:08.920
<v Speaker 1>sitting the back with the comedians to try to figure

0:55:08.960 --> 0:55:11.439
<v Speaker 1>out what comedy was. And the really good ones were

0:55:11.440 --> 0:55:14.359
<v Speaker 1>the ones who told their true life stories. And I

0:55:14.400 --> 0:55:17.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, it's a thin line between drama and comedy.

0:55:17.280 --> 0:55:21.479
<v Speaker 1>Got it. Got it. I am flabbergass in the fact

0:55:21.480 --> 0:55:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that you said that you didn't know comedy as funny

0:55:23.480 --> 0:55:25.400
<v Speaker 1>as you were on my Oh my god, some of

0:55:25.400 --> 0:55:28.640
<v Speaker 1>those lines. And the timing was timing, Oh my god.

0:55:28.920 --> 0:55:31.920
<v Speaker 1>You can't teach timing. You cannot teach timing. It is,

0:55:32.080 --> 0:55:34.719
<v Speaker 1>It's got to be in you. I know that I

0:55:35.000 --> 0:55:39.200
<v Speaker 1>really good at dancing with different comedians and especially those

0:55:39.239 --> 0:55:41.439
<v Speaker 1>who come from you know, from the stage and from

0:55:41.520 --> 0:55:43.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, stand up and what you what you do

0:55:43.360 --> 0:55:48.399
<v Speaker 1>flame um, But I'm really good at learning who they are,

0:55:48.480 --> 0:55:52.960
<v Speaker 1>their movements, and then I tried to either enhance support

0:55:53.160 --> 0:55:56.920
<v Speaker 1>or counter like sometimes some of the actors would get

0:55:56.960 --> 0:56:00.200
<v Speaker 1>really really big, like you see those moments from are

0:56:00.239 --> 0:56:03.400
<v Speaker 1>In or from from Gaming, and then I'd go really

0:56:03.800 --> 0:56:07.200
<v Speaker 1>ground to you know, ground the scene and see where

0:56:07.200 --> 0:56:09.680
<v Speaker 1>they would go. But I was also very good at

0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:14.920
<v Speaker 1>not laughing because I never wanted them to, um miss

0:56:14.920 --> 0:56:18.640
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity for comedy, So I had to hold my laughter.

0:56:18.760 --> 0:56:22.640
<v Speaker 1>And Tina was the worst, No, Tommy was the worst.

0:56:23.680 --> 0:56:28.880
<v Speaker 1>But to set would hold hers and go but you

0:56:28.880 --> 0:56:31.239
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't know she was laughing on set. You know what

0:56:31.400 --> 0:56:33.200
<v Speaker 1>show I would have made you well, I thought would

0:56:33.200 --> 0:56:35.160
<v Speaker 1>have made you break. Remember this show where you guys

0:56:35.160 --> 0:56:37.359
<v Speaker 1>had won the trip and Martin when you guys went

0:56:37.360 --> 0:56:39.640
<v Speaker 1>to the island and the little road in the rat

0:56:39.760 --> 0:56:42.560
<v Speaker 1>or the gopher or something you will find girl out

0:56:42.920 --> 0:56:46.200
<v Speaker 1>that ship right there was so funny. We were short

0:56:46.440 --> 0:56:51.359
<v Speaker 1>and we needed to elongate the scene because we the

0:56:51.400 --> 0:56:54.359
<v Speaker 1>show wasn't going to make it to the you know,

0:56:54.360 --> 0:56:58.040
<v Speaker 1>it's usually twenty something minutes and short. And he was like,

0:56:58.200 --> 0:57:02.799
<v Speaker 1>t I have to know this, so just roll with me.

0:57:02.840 --> 0:57:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I got you, and so we just

0:57:05.520 --> 0:57:09.640
<v Speaker 1>had to elongate the sea too for everdence. That was

0:57:09.760 --> 0:57:12.920
<v Speaker 1>so funny, Tita, what can you share with us about

<v Speaker 1>close out, because you know that many of the flame

1:04:03.400 --> 1:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>maks have been asking you to to do this, to

1:04:05.680 --> 1:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>do what it is that you do, which is just

1:04:07.480 --> 1:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>talk to people and have a show go where it's

1:04:10.280 --> 1:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>one of the things. You are talking people you've watched,

1:04:13.120 --> 1:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>you've admired over the years, and you asked her some

1:04:14.800 --> 1:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>great questions. What did you learn? I learned today that

1:04:17.560 --> 1:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>she is a philanthropist and she's the whole person because

1:04:20.120 --> 1:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>she sees the world in black and white. She don't

1:04:22.360 --> 1:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>she ain't making the world be what she wants it

1:04:24.240 --> 1:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to be. And even though a life lesson that she

1:04:26.680 --> 1:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and she was taught us many life lessons. If you guys,

1:04:29.680 --> 1:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>listen to those stories, because you can take things and

1:04:32.680 --> 1:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>you can make them however you want to be. So

1:04:34.640 --> 1:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you can tell ten people can tell or two people

1:04:36.800 --> 1:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>can tell you one thing. You can take the good

1:04:39.200 --> 1:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>or you can take the bad, or you can find

1:04:40.680 --> 1:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>a message up under what both of them have told you.

1:04:42.680 --> 1:04:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I love that she gave you all the message and

1:04:44.880 --> 1:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>what we said a little bit earlier. Baby, you never

1:04:47.440 --> 1:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>know how strong you are until you have to be.

1:04:49.560 --> 1:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>We appreciate you teaching coming Mark, for sharing your story.

1:04:52.080 --> 1:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>We're glad that you found your way back. We are

1:04:54.000 --> 1:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>more glad that you found you because, like I told

1:04:55.960 --> 1:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you before, you can't have from yourself everywhere you go,

1:04:59.440 --> 1:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>there you are, and just so we are also recognized

1:05:02.480 --> 1:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the fact to flame you and I've talked about how

1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:07.280
<v Speaker 1>every conversation is a blessing. We learned something I was

1:05:07.320 --> 1:05:10.160
<v Speaker 1>not familiar with Tony de Rivera or the work UM

1:05:10.160 --> 1:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>in this passion project that now teach us a part of.

1:05:12.960 --> 1:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>We will definitely be sharing more information on about that

1:05:15.600 --> 1:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>when we post the show. Because we have UM, we've

1:05:20.400 --> 1:05:22.480

1:05:22.480 --> 1:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>are on the streets. We know that there are often

1:05:25.120 --> 1:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>people who are in situations we've been blessed. We weren't.

1:05:28.680 --> 1:05:30.720
