29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: I've seen Logan, the movie Logan about seventeen times. It's

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: an incredible good movie. You play a major pivocal role, pivole.

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: Can I just talk about that movie a little because

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: you because first of all, just just just what happened

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: to you in the movie stunned me because I just

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: knew that was not gonna happen, but seventeen times it's happened.

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: And uh that has to be uh you know, from

36
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: a from a because the movie almost I think made

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: like eight hundred million dollars worldwide. When you're participate in

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: the movie like that logan, what does that do to

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: your brand? And how does that impact you know, because

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: every day. Because first of all, you you know, everybody

41
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: has seen the movie. You're crossing so many racial lines,

42
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: and when you were starting over like that, what effect

43
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: did it have on your career? Well, first of all,

44
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: the first question becomes about wait holding, let me take

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: your honey. Okay. The first question is like, as an actor,

46
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: when you get something that big, you already know, like

47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: we know Wolverine. Everybody knows Wolverine, right, So when you

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: get that audition for something that big, it's like, oh man,

49
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: you know it's that long shot audition that you hope

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna get because you know it's a big role.

51
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: You know, uh, it's impact is going to be worldwide,

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: and um, to get it first of all was just

53
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: like that I'm type of moments that we actives have

54
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: when it's something really special that you know you're about

55
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: to be part of. And I'm such a huge Hugh

56
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Jackman fan to begin with. You know, I started my

57
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: career in musicals and dancing and things like that, and

58
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: of course Hugh Jackman is that all around entertainer that

59
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: I've always been a super fan of so to not

60
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: only get it, but to come to work with him,

61
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: and I mean I couldn't do anything but kind of

62
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: geek out when I first saw him. And I literally

63
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: I literally danced over to him when we said him

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: for the first time because I'm like, I'm such a

65
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: huge fan. But you know, coming to work room every

66
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: day was great, you know, he was he was very kind,

67
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: he was very sweet, very giving. He when he found

68
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: out that I also did musical, he always played like

69
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: a different Broadway soundtracks in the morning. Yeah, it was

70
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: a great experience. Big fans. Now you you that's the

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: part right there. You got the role, you participate in

72
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: the production. Now the movie comes out. Yeah, the film

73
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: comes out, and you know we acted here they have

74
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: been doing in a while. I mean, everybody's different, but

75
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: I've always been about you know, oh that's you know,

76
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: it's really cool when you know fans seem to like

77
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: it once it comes out. But one of those big

78
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: things that let me know that it was huge is

79
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: when I get an email from the the agent. It

80
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: was like in early morning with numbers. You know, I'm saying,

81
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: with box office numbers like first opening weekend almost ninety millions,

82
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, okay, huge hit, huge hit. IM

83
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: in another huge hit film. And you know, I was

84
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: really excited about it. I've I've been led us to

85
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: be a part of that, you say, crossing the lines

86
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. A lot of things I've done have been

87
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: not necessarily just a one audience would appreciate, and you know,

88
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: things like screen to you know, several other things. But

89
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: this was really good. It's been a while since I

90
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: was a part of some something so big and so bad.

91
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: So it was great. Okay, cool because like I said,

92
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna come on again this Neil, and I'm

93
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: a you know, like a like a crazy person. I'm

94
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna just stop and look at it like I've never

95
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: seen it before for some reasons. Fun and crazy. It's fun.

96
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: It's crazy when it first came out, and I do

97
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: travel um quite a bit, but I was literally on

98
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: a plane when it kind of like it's only been

99
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: out like maybe two weeks, and I was on a

100
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: plane and I'm walking back to my seat down the

101
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: aisles and I'm like seeing people watch the movie on

102
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: their plane. That cool. You know, You're you're looking less

103
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: to writing. You're like, oh, they're watching that. Okay, cool,

104
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: they're watching Okay like that. That was kind of dope. Okay, Okay.

105
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: With that being said that people people know that they

106
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: put two and two together. I don't think anybody is

107
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: putting any two to two together when we're all in

108
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: that plane trying to figure out get there safely. That's yeah,

109
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: it's interesting, okay, Okay, about about you? When I know

110
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: because I met you in the sitcom world on the

111
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: Huge Lis way back then, and but you've done You've

112
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,559
Speaker 1: done a second, second, second television show, Yes, the second

113
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: television show, and you went on to do many more

114
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: different television shows. You know, So when you when you

115
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: when you look at shows like you know, t s

116
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: I one of my favorite shows, Scandal, one of my

117
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: favorite shows all of us, you know, Private Practice. I'm

118
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: seeing a mixture of drama and I'm seeing a mixture

119
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: of sitcom. Not many people can do that. It's Neil

120
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: how you know, I'm just as a compliment when I

121
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: say that. So no, I'm saying thank you. So what

122
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: what what? What? What mindset? What allows you to click

123
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: it on? It off? Because some people just be funny

124
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: and then some people just can be dramatic or they

125
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: try to be funny, but it doesn't work at all.

126
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: So I think it's for me, it's it's it's it's

127
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: a muscle that was and still when I was training,

128
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: you know, as an actor, because my journey, like I said,

129
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: started with musical theater and trained for that. And then

130
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: when I made a decision to try to be in

131
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: the acting world, you know, I took it the same

132
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: type of seriousness that I did when I started dancing.

133
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: You can't necessarily start tap dancing without some instructor teaching

134
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: you have, and so I studied a lot um. I

135
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: was living in New York when I first started acting,

136
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: so I did a lot of theater, I did a

137
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: lot of you know, inexp into acting classes. I did

138
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: what I could what I could, and then by the

139
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: time I made a decision to come to l A,

140
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: I studied at a summer program for the American Academy

141
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: of Dramatic Art, and I think what I learned there

142
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: was extremely helpful and finding ways to do both muscles.

143
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, I'm both people.

144
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: I can be just as silly and goofy as the

145
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: next person, but I'm also trained and understand, like for

146
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: a long time before even people knew my name. The

147
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: monologue that I did was the say Shakespearean monologue that

148
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: I had learned in acting class. So I have the

149
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: ability to go back and forth from both muscles pretty easily.

150
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: There's another reason why she's calling on the show because

151
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: you posted a picture of your fiftieth birthday on the

152
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: social media, your internet. As they say, some things shut

153
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: down the Internet, uh go viral? Well, the pictures she

154
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: post to the fitness look did that. When we come back,

155
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to her about that transition, I should

156
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: say transition the at least body boot Camp. We've been

157
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: back with more mighty making conversations. Highs for Sean McDonald.

158
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm back and she's on the phone. At least Neil,

159
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: you're still there. Yes, I am okay. So, so on

160
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: your fiftieth birthday, most people are afraid on their fiftieth

161
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: birthday to post anything about themselves physically. So you decided

162
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: to take a picture, you know, one of selfie pictures.

163
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't a professional picture of were you

164
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: or were you launching your brand when you took that

165
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: photo or it was just a feel down for you,

166
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: you break it down to me my reason, there was

167
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: really a reason and purpose about the whole thing. You know,

168
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: I I okay, first of all, I'm actress. I'm here

169
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. It's not like I'm not unaware of stigmas

170
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: about Hollywood being about the youth, Hollywood being about fresh

171
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: and young and what's special and important to the powers

172
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: that be in Hollywood. And as a person who's been

173
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: blessed enough to have I've traveled a lot. Especially I'll

174
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: always go back to it being an entertainer and being

175
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: a dancer and doing musicals. I got three passports from

176
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: all the different beautiful cities in the world I've been

177
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: able to see be a part of and cultures and stuff,

178
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: and it makes me think a little differently about a

179
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: lot of things, and especially when it came to being older,

180
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: and how even what you just said in the intro,

181
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: like people don't even want to talk about it, People

182
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: don't even want to be involved in and people don't

183
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: want to say nothing about it. And that's not fair.

184
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: It's not fair, and it's not a good message. And

185
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: for me, I was like, I feel good. I still

186
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: work out, I do my best to be healthy and

187
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: this is why I look how I look. I said

188
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: to myself, I know what, yeah, I know what age

189
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to be, and I'm gonna work out

190
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: even harder, I'm gonna even healthier, and I'm going to

191
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: just for myself be the best that I could try

192
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: to be once that fifty comes my way. And so

193
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: I decided to take a photo shoot for me. I

194
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: just wanna posted on Instagram for me because I wanted

195
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: to to show for me and my father, making like, look,

196
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's okay, this is what I look like.

197
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: You know, you know, let's just for me to just

198
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: feel good. And at the end of the day, the

199
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: photographer takes that picture because he was just testing his lights.

200
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: He was like, let's take a picture on your phone.

201
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: I just want to test the lights before we get

202
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: to the shoot location. We're not even on the shoot location.

203
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: And I posted it and the rest became what you

204
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: already know. I just feel like it's important to bring

205
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: that to the forefront, Like everybody in America has a

206
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: lot of stigma about women first of all, and getting

207
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: older and them not maybe being able to do or

208
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: be x y and Z, and we need to stop

209
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: that and especially as an African American woman, I thought

210
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: it was important to show that you can be healthy,

211
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: that it's okay to to feel good about yourself as

212
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: you get older and be your best self, even in

213
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: a way that you maybe weren't at forty five, and

214
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: maybe that you want at forty or even thirty five,

215
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: and you can just be healthier and take care of yourself,

216
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: eat better, be a long in this journey of life longer.

217
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: And I was okay with being a representation of that. Well,

218
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: thank you for saying that. I have six sisters. They

219
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: are they appreciate you're saying all those things. Now you

220
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: went out there and you're prepared for fifties. Seems like

221
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, which is cool because because I would test

222
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: to tell you about Roushan. You know, I eat. I

223
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: eat like a crazy person. You know. People look at me,

224
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: they go, how do you look that way? And you

225
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: eat like, um, you five hundred pounds. Okay, Now I

226
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: see the word nutrition in your Now do you eat

227
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: a certain way or you're a healthy eater? Miss Neil Well,

228
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: first of all, I am, but I'm also from Memphis, Tennessee.

229
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: Thank you. I love barbecue. I love frits things. Sometimes

230
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: the emphasis is on sometimes I do a lot of

231
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: but um, I say, portion control is key. Um, I

232
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: don't have to have fifteen French fries. I can I

233
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: can be okay with five five and then I'm going

234
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: to burn it off. I'm going to burn it off.

235
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: And that's also the other key. You have to burn

236
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: it off. You can't sit there and have barbecue all

237
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: weekend and pork jobs, which I don't think people really eat.

238
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: When we gonna we're gonna go past new we gonna

239
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: go past that. I never had that conversation about that.

240
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: Baby bake ribs of them. But what you can do

241
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: is portion control it out. Maybe have two pieces of

242
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: barbecue and then walk for fifteen minutes at a quick pace.

243
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: You know, turn it back off. You know. The interesting

244
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: thing that you're saying is absolutely true to portion control.

245
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: The talk about talk about this the boot camp is

246
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: a video? Is it's uh something that you tell us

247
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: about the boot camp? Well, and and again going back

248
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: to the whole internet, and then I got uh breaking

249
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: the internet, and then she did every day it becomes

250
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: every black publication and you eat it. What are you drinking?

251
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: What you're doing? I need to know. I need to

252
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: you know. It has become that kind of conversation and

253
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: I am and we're just saying here on your radio show, Hey,

254
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: anybody want to hit my people up and invest so

255
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: we can do even more in this business thing. I'm

256
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: down for the conversation. It is money making. Hey, it

257
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: is the money make it dolf Uh yeah, um, but

258
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, I thought the best way. And this is

259
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: why too. I did the at Least Body. I created

260
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: at Least Body boot Camp because I wanted it to

261
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: be a place that if when I had time, I

262
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: will do these classes, that I will be the instructor

263
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: so that there is no conversation. Because I was getting

264
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: that at first about she just went to the doctors,

265
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: she ain't working out. I got a lot of that

266
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: at first at first. Um, so okay, now you're gonna

267
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: work out with me, and you got your legs gonna

268
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: hurt a little bit, and then you're gonna stop that

269
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: conversation because you're gonna be doing it with me and

270
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna see that this is what I'm doing. And

271
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: so it's and once I started creating that, it became

272
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: a thing more where they understood that it is a

273
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: lifestyle for me, and so I love to do at

274
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: least body boot camps. They pop up every now and

275
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: then where I have time, I'm in a different city,

276
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: and it's a class that I create based off of

277
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: what I do in the gym as a person who's

278
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: a dancer who loves hip hop music. It's all set

279
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: to hip hop music. We do all types of um

280
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: core work, we do all types of legwork, we do

281
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: all types of crunches, we do all types of things,

282
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: but it's all to hip hop music. Then there's a

283
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: cardio blast because that's what I like to do because

284
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: my background is dance, and I make it as fun

285
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: and it's hip and crazy as possible. Wow, yeah, are

286
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: you tired? But but that's that's that's I'd say that

287
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: humorously because first of all, I want to know how

288
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: I can help you promote what you're doing these classes

289
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: because of the fact that that's why I created money

290
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: making conversations for this. Entrepreneurship is entertainment driven because there's

291
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: so many ideas. So you have a life outside of

292
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: film and television, and that's what this show is all about.

293
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: So how can I when you do you have any

294
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: upcoming UM boot camps coming up up or scheduled, so

295
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: I can help you promote them with my social media

296
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: as well or my fan club. What can I do?

297
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: I really appreciate that. Well, what we what we could

298
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: do is after we hang up, create another one, and

299
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: that's what we do. Okay coolin serious, We'll create one

300
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: and we'll team up and I'll do one in Atlanta.

301
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: I think they would appreciate that. It's Neil, okay cool.

302
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's almost November, so we you know,

303
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: let's do if you mind, like in January. Is that cool?

304
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: Because that's what that's when everybody have their you know,

305
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose weight. I'm gonna lose weight. I'm gonna

306
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: lose weight. This is when you get the conversation side.

307
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: So well, we can do that, and we'll do one

308
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and we'll do it that way. I think

309
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: they would love it, and I'll do one, you know,

310
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: and again I do want to either do the app

311
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: or or you know, I people like to say this.

312
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: I just had this conversation. I was just in Memphis, Tennessee,

313
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: speaking to the teachers and organizations of Memphis City schools

314
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: and public schools, the Shelby County School System. Should I

315
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: say nowt about further in education and feeling their dreams.

316
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: But to say all of that to say that we

317
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: were just talking about DVDs and stuff, and I'm like, well,

318
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: DVDs aren't dead because I'm gonna late not see DVD

319
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: selling And I see you know, all of those sitness

320
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: DVD selling and things like that. So I'm still not

321
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: necessarily opposed to even that component as well. But I

322
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: like being there with them when I can and showing

323
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: them personally how it's possible. And sometimes I team up

324
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: with the nutritionists so they can have a conversation right

325
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: before we get to the work about eating healthier and

326
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: doing better and stuff like that. So that's because those

327
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: are things that um I do. But I'm not the expert.

328
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't try to ask. I really want to do

329
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,320
