56
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: Coming from the church. Honestly, I mean my father was

57
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: into the ministry. And actually it goes back even before that.

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean the first time I was ever officially on

59
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: stage doing stand up, I was about eleven years old

60
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: and it was auditioned North Carolina for the Apollo and

61
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, it was like the Apollo

62
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: used to travel to find, you know, different acts, and

63
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: they were put on small talent shows in smaller regions

64
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: and in North Carolina, my dad I would always like,

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: get up and you know, tell Jesus jokes in the

66
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: church and stuff, and my dad was like, yeah, you

67
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: should audition. I put together a hole set when I

68
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: was eleven, and then from there just kept at it.

69
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: And by the time you know, I was fifteen years old,

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: I was a regular at the comedy store and improvs

71
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: in l A. So, you know, just try. I knew

72
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: I was doing I following in my father's footsteps where

73
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: I was sending too much to be a preacher. So

74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'm gonna go ahead

75
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: and just still try to lead the flock. But he

76
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,200

79
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: to the very first tape in the Wilder Out. The

80
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: idea was people pushed back on the idea. Yeah, you

81
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: took me there to reach out and look at it,

82
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: look at what I've done, and to see we're walking

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Georgia. Branding as I walked in. Branding on

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: the wall, branding on the behind the bar, branding on

85
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: the pool table, branding on everywhere it was it was

00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: you know, the Wilding Out models coming out everybody. It

88
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: was very organized for a young man. Yeah, impressive, Thank you, sir.

89
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: Tell us about that brand and tell us about the

90
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: future wild and Out. Really trying to diversify the brand

91
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: more than anything, Uh, tap into it and see how

92
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: many verticals I can get out of it. When I

93
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: first created it, I knew it was I wasn't calling

94
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: it a brand name, but I knew it was more

95
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: of the culture and I hadn't really seen it since

96
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: the Deaf Jam days to where someone actually could put

97
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: it out there in a way where people would want

98
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: to wear t shirts. People would want to go see

99
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 1: a live show people, and you could put it on

100
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: on any platform and would actually still succeed. And because

101
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: we started in a comedy club, you know, I rented out.

102
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: Uh what club was that? The Comedy Union. Yeah, and uh,

103
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, we we got that. I got some cameras together,

104
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: got some friends that you know, we weren't as known

105
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: back then, like Kevin Hard and Cat Williams and you know,

106
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: all of those guys, and everybody just came together. I

107
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, this is this is something really cool.

108
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: And from there, I knew it could be improv school.

109
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: I knew it could be a live stage show. I

110
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: knew it could be a television show. I knew it

111
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: could be a board game. And I saw all of

112
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: this back then, and now I'm actually getting those opportunities

113
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: to bring those things to pass. And you know, um

114
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: learning this this touring game. I mean, we're going out

115
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: our second time. This time we're going out with a

116
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: g to all the arenas. Yeah, We're going all across

117
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: the country on a thirty city tour, uh, starting at

118
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: the end of the summer. And you know it's funny.

119
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: One of the first comedy tours. The first time I

120
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: was ever officially even really on tour, it was you

121
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: took me out. We we did that. It was it

122
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: was a short run, but we had we had some

123
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: good sponsors and and we took some young people out

124
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: on out on the road. And I remember at the

125
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: time it was like myself a little j J. Actually,

126
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: now I just put back on wilding out now, asked me, now,

127
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: producer on the show, have you j J? Yeah? He

128
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: on the show like so, but to say, like you

129
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: showed me the ropes on a lot of this, especially

130
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to the live shows and you know

131
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: all the things that you know, you produced and put

132
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: for UH for our community. Early on, I was just learning, man,

133
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: and so now to be able to sit here and say,

134
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing the same thing and giving other

135
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 1: young people opportunities to show their skill sets and talent

136
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: as an outstanding, it's really interesting because you know, when

137
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: I came to the tape and I came like Roushan

138
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: was suited. Yeah, and it's so funny, and it's so funny.

139
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: I walked in and Uh I was with a dale

140
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: conversation and as we were as he was walking up

141
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: then they looked behind they see me, they go, come on,

142
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: come on, come on, like like I owned the building.

143
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Different it's a different culture and it's just like that

144
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: coming when I did in two. So I really know

145
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: that it's special now. But you're taking this to the

146
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: restaurant world. Yes, that's exciting. I mean, it's it's challenging us.

147
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: It's definitely challenging, but it's a whole new world when

148
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: you get into the food and beverage game. Uh, there's

149
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: there's different rules. And we opened our first restaurant Memorial

155
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: of the year. And it's it's a it's a whole

156
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: new game. I mean, but I'm watching David Busters, I've

157
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: seen Hooters. I've seen all of these different um restaurants

158
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: who tap into a market and they just they printing money, man,

159
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: And there's nothing been specifically catered to our community, you know,

160
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: or whether we want to call it the hip hop

161
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: culture of the African American community, to where you can

162
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: go in and watch a game, have a good time,

163
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: play video games, all this stuff that but you feel

164
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: at home. You feel and it's and it's to a

165
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: brand that you recognize that you can embrace, that welcomes everyone.

166
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: But it speaks our language. And I love the fact

167
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: that you you compared it to David Buster type because

168
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: that's really what it is. Great food, right, Uh, kind

169
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: of like a play land atmosphere and and but just

170
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: but everybody in there looks like you in the sense

171
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: of that culture a hundred nights. I'm glad you did.

172
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad you went to say the hip hop because

173
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: hip hop covers everybody, every white Eyrican Americans. It's a language,

174
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: it's a language. It's a language is so very powerful

175
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: that there's now it's taken over. You know, you're taking

176
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: advantage of that now. So I love that fact. So

177
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: so with that said, how does the tour work? How

178
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,040

211
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: And when I was watching, I go, wow, it's that field,

212
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: which is really which means that you're you're combined so

213
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,599

215
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,079

216
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: to the cities, you do recruit or you do Marvel

217
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: searchers localizes it. We give the opportunity a lot of

218
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: times if there's uh strong comedians in the in the yeah, yeah,

219
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: and we tap in with the radio stations as well,

220
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: and just you know, give them the opportunity to to

221
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: showcase their talent. And and and while I out is

222
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: built for that, it's built for you know, somebody may

223
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: not have a five to ten minutes set that they

224
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: can rock in an arena. It's a crazy part. I'm

225
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: watching the taping right and and my old hand going,

226
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: I can get out there. Yeah exactly. I got by

227
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: you to keep your right down, everybody got a good joke,

228
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: or you can get in there and have fun. So

229
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the energy we want to bring across

230
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: with the tour as well. So you mentioned radio, Yes,

231
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: I gotta get you back on radio. I'm ready, I'm ready.

232
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: It's funny. I I did mornings for again going. The

233
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: first time I even stepped into it was you know,

234
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: you guys gave me the opportunity when you when when

235
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: Steve would have a day office. Yeah, and I got

236
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: excited that. I was like, man, I can really do this.

237
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: And you know, a couple of years later, I had

238
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: my own morning show in New York, you know, number

239
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: one market. You know I was I was going, you know,

240
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: and it wasn't even I actually stepped in to rest

241
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: you to wrest a radio on the mainstream. That's what

242
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: I loved about you, you know, it wasn't an urban platform. Yeah.

243
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: And and to be able to do it, I think

244
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna come back and actually go for people

245
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: with with some wilding out morning radio. We're gonna get

246
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: back to it. And that's important because please do that

247
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: fuch for your voices needed. If there's a there's a

248
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: big other than the breakfast club, there's no one else

249
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: doing this. You know, you have the Steves, you have

250
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: the Tom Jones, you have the Russ Paul. That's a

251
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: that's an age group that's plus fifty. Yeah, so there's

252
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: there needs to be another competitive boce to wrest a

253
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: radio and your voices needed. I love the fact that

254
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: you would never button down and say I'm an urban

255
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: bossce for the people that shows in your show Wild

256
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,719

00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: you step away and you're an activist and I love

261
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: that about you. I was about to say, it's all

262
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: about the community. For me, it's about giving other people opportunities. Uh,

263
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: it's about opening doors and sharing the knowledge, wealth and

264
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: wisdom that I've obtained with everyone else. I mean, you know,

00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: home title fraud. There was little we could do to

285
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: stop it. Now there's home title lock. This online bank

286
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: was for closing on us. They even had documents that

287
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: I signed for a home equity loan only I didn't

288
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: want a nightmare. I didn't have home title lock then,

289
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: but you bet I haven't now. Your homes title is

290

00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: it is. I'm not sure it's gonna stay there. But

347
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: one is a woman who's a housewife who's decided she

348
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: wants something more, and she's kind of gonna be forced

349
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: to need something more. Another is an up and coming journalist,

350
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: and the other is a girl who's kind of living

351
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: on the edge. You know, she wants to be in

352
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: the quote unquote bis and she'll do anything to get there.

353
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: So now, when I met you, Sarah, he was all sitcom.

354
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: So now I'll American Soul drama, the Quad drama. That's

355
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: the project you're working on. Drama. Yeah, when did you

356
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: make the decision to become the transition to drama or

357
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: just the nature of the business, you know, Rashaan, I

358
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: just believe that you've got to um transform to whatever

359
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: is working for you or that you desire. And I

360
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: felt like, I love to come. I love comedy, but

361
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: dramas were really I'd always wanted to do a drama

362
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: first of all, but I never had the opportunity because

363
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, I was so blessed to keep working in

364
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: a half hour and sitcom, so dramas I mean, they

365
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: were just popping up everywhere with all you know, the

366
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: new streaming services and cable, and comedies were kind of

367
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: falling by the wayside. There weren't a lot of comedy

368
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: and so I thought, you know what, this might be

369
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: my chance to dive into drama. So I wrote a

370
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: couple of specscripts, got them to the right people. Thing God,

371
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: Felicia Henderson was one of them, and she she loved it.

372
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: She hired me on Single Ladies. I did said a

373
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: few years ago with her and that got me started.

374
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I'm not saying I would never

375
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: do comedy again, but I really do love drama. I'm

376
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: really happy here now. One of the dramas I mentioned

377
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: in your credit credits, uh with your co exact producer

378
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: on BT's American Soul. That's premiers January on VT what

379
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: exactly as American Soul. American Soul is about Soul Train

380
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: and the life of Don Fornelius. Yes, it's gonna be great.

381
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: It was a great opportunity there and his life, you know,

382
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: the man was just fascinating. And I grew up, you know,

383
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm a bad area. I grew up on Soul Train.

384
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: You know, every Saturday morning exactly. So it's just a

385
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: lot of rich story there, and and it was Devon

386
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: Gregory's the showrunner, and uh so it's it's gonna be great.

387
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: I really hope people get to watch that. Yeah, that

388
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: that's a show that I'm sure out of curiosity, you know,

389
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: we're watching because it's truly is the side of our lives.

390
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: You know, you said he's telling the truth. The soul

391
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: train line. If you could break out the soul train

392
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: line right now, and exactly, it lives on and it

393
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what color, what ratio are everybody. I mean,

394
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: you can go to a wedding right now and there's

395
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: a soul Train line. So it's it's lived on, you know,

396
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's great. At one point, you know, all

397
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: the jobs are going to reality show. You know, black

398
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: people out there fighting, throwing glasses, climbing over tables, punching

399
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: each other. And that was really frustrating for me. I'm

400
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: sure it was equally frustrating for you because you're going,

401
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: that's the real writer's job opportunity there right right. For

402
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: a while, though, I have to tell you, I didn't

403
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: think reality was gonna make it. And then one day,

404
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: I said, a reality TV is here to stay. But

405
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: it was disappointing to see some of it. You know,

406
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: but I know people have to make a living, and

407
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: you know it's legal. They're not doing anything illegal. But

408
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: I just wanted to do a different type of television.

409
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: So that with that being said, is that when you

410
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: look at television today, you know, you see it all

411
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: African Americans get these developments, I mean, real deals. So

412
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: why why you think the content is so strong? Because

413
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: we thought that was gonna happen a few years ago

414
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: when when they stepped up and said we need to

415
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: give a better image for African Americans on television. We

416
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: see that very dominantly in commercials because you see interracial

417
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: relationships and commercials like it's a normal slice of life,

418
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: which is fantastic. Television was slow to turn, but now

419
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: it seems like there's a foot race to get ahead. Yeah,

420
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm so glad about it. Um it's

421
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: still I think got a ways to go as far

422
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: as people of color concerned. But my god, it has

423
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: changed so much since I started. I mean I think

424
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: they were looking, finally looking and realizing fresh voices. You know,

425
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: people with some new point of views, and they happen

426
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 1: to be people of color. I mean, I look at

427
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: Lena Waves and and Marbrock could kill Felicia Henderson, you know,

428
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: Gina prince Blythewood, all my sisters who are just out

429
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: here doing it, doing it big, and I'm so proud

430
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: of them. I mean, there was a time when I

431
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: first started, they were like five black writers. I do

432
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: all of them. Now I don't know half of them,

433
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about that. I'm happy about that. It

434
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: makes my heart full what I know, where we've come

435
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: from to where we are now. And I think that

436
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: also because of the fact that it used to be

437
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, we was on the w B, was on up.

438
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: You've used the black shows or sitcom to Launcher Network,

439
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: and if they got rid of us. I remember when

440
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: The Parkers was canceled, Uh getta boone show One on

441
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: one was canceled, Girlfriends was canceled. They just wiped us

442
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: all out. But now you know, you've got the cable

443
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: and the streaming services, and it's just so many more outlets.

444
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: And I tell a lot of young writers and any

445
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: writer you can shoot your own movie on your phone. Now,

446
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's just unheard of when I was starting out.

447
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: So it's just come a long way. And it's still

448
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: like I said, I still think there are, of course,

449
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: many things that need to happen, but I'm seeing some

450
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: progress and that's been wonderful. Well, it's crazy when you

451
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: look at how good it is becoming you know, Insecure,

452
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: you know, Oh I love Insecure, Yes, yes, power you know.

453
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: And you know she started, uh misadventurous of an awkward

454
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: Black girl was on the internet and I would watch

455
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: it and I was like, Wow, this girl she needs

456
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: a TV show. She is so funny, so talented, and

457
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: I think Shonda Rhimes heard about her and got her

458
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: deal or worked with her a while. But then her

459

Speaker 1: over there's the showrunner, and it is just that's just remarkable.

461
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,240

472
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: long term success is knowing how to write. So you

473
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: just take some credit for for for giving us our

474
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: opportunities and giving us our strong guidance to be where

475
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: we are at today. Listen, I feel like God put

476
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: me in the right place at the right time to

477
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: do what a little bit I could. I give all

478
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: things to God. Sean, I have to tell you, without

479
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: my faith and my strength, I would not be here

480
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: where I am today. So I thank God. I think

481
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: thank God for people like you. You know, you came

482
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: into my life. You know I worked for you at

483
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: one point, and I'm grateful for that. See, I'm not

484
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: one of these people of those things. Oh, I can

485
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: only do this, do that. No, I love to work.

486
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: I love you, right, That's what Sarah loves to do.

487
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: And it's just I've had people tell me in the

488
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: last year it's like you still right, Yes, I'm still writing,

489
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: and I think that's that's great because it used to

490
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: be a cut off point. You know, you have to

491
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: stop writing what I'm saying. So yeah, and I I

492
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: just love the fact that when you and I want

493
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: to bring this back up, when you're talking about you

494
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: can shoot your shoulder. Telephone used to telephone used to

495
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: be if you were not shot your pilot or sitcom,

496
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: you wishing your money because the industry was locked down, right,

497
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: you wish you You don't come to us, You will

498
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: not get on television because you can do that in

499
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: the film ustry. You can independent production and get your

500
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: your movie in the theaters. You used to be just

501
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: saying television and work like that. Because of the streaming

502
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: services and demand for content, you can actually do your

503
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: own project and then go show up and they put

504
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: it on television. And plus production costs, I've dropped tremendously.

505
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmmm. It's it's a whole new world. And I

506
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: want to say something we talked a little earlier about

507
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: my transition into writing drama. I believe as a writer,

508
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: don't get pigeonhole. You should write whatever you want. I'm

509
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: still gonna do a movie one day I might go

510
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: back to comedy. I think you should write books place

511
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I say, keep writing, keep that tool fresh,

512
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: and and work on your craft. I just say, right, well,

513
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: the one thing you told me is that the Rashaan

514
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: you can keep winning. And I just love the fact

515
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: that I do. Say she's my sister. I have six

516
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: natural sisters that are two extras. Policia D. Henderson is

517
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: one of them, and Sarah Pitty Johnson is one of them.

518
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: When they I feel their pain, I feel their successes.

519
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: And to see you back out there writing and going

520
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,880

00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: out about your book, I was reading the Houston Chronicle

610
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: in Houston, Texas, and uh, and I was reading it.

611
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, this is such a cool book.

612
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: And then I called I have a great relationship with HarperCollins,

613
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: and I called him. I said, can I and I

614
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: get this book because I want to see this book

615
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: because I I know how to bake. People tell me

616
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm an award winning baker. I'll take that title, but

617
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: I bake a lot and so, but cooking is not

618
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: something I do on a normal basis. And so when

619
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: I got the book, I will tell you it's like,

620
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: it's so many pages. I bent I like that. I

621
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: like this. I like this. I like you know what

622
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I've been to page you know. I saying, hey,

623
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: I got this because I want I want to because

624
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: we have two breaks. I play no music, so I

625
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: want you. I want to really talk about the process

626
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: because you know, when you when you see a recipe,

627
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: you go, that's it, that's it, that's it. So, so

628
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: you have over a hundred and thirty recipes. How did

629
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: all this come together? How did this whole book process?

630
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's choosing this is the right recipe here.

631
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: Before I get into my cooking experience, I want to

632
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: find out about this journey of putting this book together.

633
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: At the family table, we really went through Oh sorry,

634
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: go ahead, now you can take it dress M. So

635
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: we really went through hundreds of recipes that we wrote down,

636
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: just kind of freewriting. That's got to seeing like, Okay,

637
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: one are all the recipes we ate growing up. One

638
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: are all the things that we looked up throughout the

639
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: years in our adulthood, in our own travels and things

640
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: like that that we would always bring back to the

641
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: family table. And so we then had to edit down, Okay,

642
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: what's worth being in the book. We can't have everything

643
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: in there. Um, it's supposed to be hundred twenty five

644
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: recipes that we were obligated to put it in. You

645
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: know that the publisher expected us to do recipes and

646
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: we did one thirty so we did five bonus recipes

647
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: for yall. So so really, uh, it was just about

648
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: narrowing those down. Um. And the way we did it

649
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: um was, you know, after we did the cooking show,

650
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: we were like, well, let's do a book. I I

651
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: love books in general, books it's a beaut Oh, thank you.

652
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 1: And I've always wanted to you know, uh write and things,

653
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, write books and things like that. And so

654
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: what we did is we just when we started talking

655
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: about it, we were excited about putting down our family

656
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: legacy through food, um, for next generations and also just

657
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: to share with people now are passions for food on

658
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: a different level. UM. And so when we decided to

659
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: do it, and then we now down the recipes when

660
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: we're really I was like in charge of um project,

661
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: managing you know, the book, getting it together and all

662
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: that type of stuff. But and that's just because I

663
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: have a background and being bossy, and that's why he's

664
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: quiet now. That's why he's quiet now, Jacks, Well, really

665
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm a producer. That's kind of my day job. I

666
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: can use behind the scenes content on films and um

667
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: that's why I was in Atlanta by the way. But anyway,

668
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: so with that, we then decided that recipe wise, as

669
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: far as like I was gonna give the torch to Jake,

670
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: as far as he would decide what's going to make it,

671
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: what's not going to make it, and had to be

672
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: in charge of that part of it. And then I

673
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: would be in charge of getting everything together and also

674
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: um uh a lot of the writing, like I wanted

675
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: to write so so so Jake, so you you you

676
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: were the man behind the grill lobster roles. Yeah, okay,

677
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: so this would happened to me, just what happened to me,

678
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: because I'm just let everybody know how it real I am.

679
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: I used to just let people come on my show

680
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: and they have a book by cooking, I just bring

681
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: them on. We talk. So now what I do is

682
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: like I said, I found you guys book reading the

683
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: Houston Chronicle called Harpercollin sit the book and then I

684
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: went through it. I went, this is awesome. So I

685
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: make things that I make. If I can make it,

686
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: I go, I'm bring them on the show so we

687
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: can talk about it. And so so this morning I

688
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: just blue and I posted it on my social media.

689
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: I made the grill lobster rolls. Yesterday morning, I made

690
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: the grill And let's tell you someomel this is. This

691
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: was see you go to a major restaurant and you

693
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: not cheap depending on where you at. And so I

694
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: had never in my life considered that was an option

695
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: for me to make in my house. Grilled lobster roll. Okay,

696
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: so so check this out. This the just the recipe here,

697
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: four table spoons of salted butter because I baked, so

698
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: I used unsalted butter. So I had to go give

699
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: me some salted butter. Six garlic clothes and then they

700
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: had the red peppers already had that. Because I'm a

701
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: pizza guy, I had to crush red peppers. And then

702
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: a pitch of sea salt that has become my favorite

703
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: sea salt. I wasn't a come back. I've come from

704
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: the neighborhood, so I regular more than salt was my thing.

705
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: But see salts of things to do now, Lemon had

706
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 1: that already in there, come out make all the time.

707
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: And then four lobster tails, about five, about five of them,

708
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: and they were like they're like by almost a little

709
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: bit less by forty almost a little bit less than

710
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: a half pounds. So I was I was grinding, and

711
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: then I got back say I knew it I was fat.

712
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: So instead of giving me hot dog bones, I got

713
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: me some hoogy rolls because I was gonna feel this

714
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: bad boy with some meat. And then uh chopped me

715
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: up some parsley. So I wasn't gonna grill, okay, So

716
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: I went and got my George form and grill out

717
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: of the clods and that big white one. You know

718
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, that big white Come on, man, I

719
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: dipped that bad boy, cut that bad boy open there,

720
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: took that shell off that lobster tail. Then then you

721
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: mix all that stuff up. You mixed it the garlic,

722
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: the butter, and to see something. You mix all that

723
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: up and it all right. And know, all of a sudden,

724
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: you take that lemon, you squeeze that lemon on top

725
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: of the lobster, and you slapped both of them bad

726
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: boys on off of that. Come on, I'm telling you, man,

727
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: you keep the little opening. I keep that little open

728
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: because you don't want to burn it too quick, because

729
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: you want that bad boy to turn a little white.

730
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: And I flipped it, put more limit on it, and

731
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,920

732
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,879

761
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: to the fact that no one told us how much

762
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: work goes into throwing a cookbook. You have to cook

763
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: minimally four times we cook ease recipe just to get

764
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: the recipe tight and concise and everything. Um. So it

765
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: was everyone's used to cooking to take but you know

766
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: our families, uh, you know, Mom, Grandma, whoever, everybody is

767
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: always like, oh put you know, you could slid in

768
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: and you don't really put my recipe. You just put

769
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: yourself and you kind of you kind of know how

770
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: much you're supposed to put. And then you have the

771
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: tea things and all your stuff, you know, but you're

772
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: not measuring it out. So for us, the topses of

773
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: like measuring it out and laying down what you can't

774
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: put in the cookbook season to taste or right you know.

775
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: Um now I'm telling sweet depart because that's me. See,

776
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: I get my dessert before I ordered my meal. When

777
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: I go and restaurant, and so the cooking up macaroons,

778
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: you had me there, you hand me their jazz, the

779
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: coponut macca that was out the influence of our dad

780
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: is uh uh from New York. He's Polish Jewish, so

781
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: um mac those macaroons are really popular and they like

782
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: a man of chevits. So it's a brand as usually

783
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: selling them around. Whenever you see them in the supermarkets,

784
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: it's usually around like path Over or um Hanaker or

785
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: the Jewish holidays and things like that. Um so that

786
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: was a take on those but um uh, they're really good.

787
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: And then the ice team like the homemade ice cream.

788
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: You know Mom used to make that. Nay, they know

789
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: they got a real foodie on the phone. Not then

790
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: woke up on the West Coast. I'm gonna let y'all know, man,

791
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm a fan Jack and I just wanted y'all on

792
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: the phone to let y'all know that you know, here's

793
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: a guy Rashaan mcdonn never had them in your life.

794
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. I read your book. First of all,

795
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: the newspaper article made me, gave me interests. And then

796
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: and I just want to put the word out because

797
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people do these books, you know, lifestyle

798
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: you your family has been famous for a long time.

799
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: But what my takeaway from this book was that you

800
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: guys are just everyday people, and I really appreciated that. Yeah,

801
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: family is number one and food is second. You hit

802
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: me talking. I come from a family too. I come

803
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: from six sisters and I have two brothers. So we

804
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: we thought it so we know about that that family

805
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: table thing now. But they came cook six sisters and

806
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: three brothers. Two six sisters and two brothers, so it's

807
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: nine kids and two parents. So so I know about

808
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: that big table experience though. But we couldn't cook like y'all.

809
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: So when mom went in there cooking and she said

810
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: food up, we ran. Now, I wouldn't everybody know about

811
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: this book? Like I said, I didn't want to like

812
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: just act like there was a limited menu here. But

813
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: they have a tremendous amount that's all broken up in chapters.

814
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: We talked about the Sunday Susters. They haven't even have

815
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: pasta night chapter, which I think is great because I'm

816
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: into that now too. I got my cabinet, so I'll

817
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: be diving into that. You saw me rave about the

818
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: Great Outdoors chapter that's the you know that where I made.

819
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm for dinner. I'm having the grill sausage Peter Pocket,

820
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: and I made the grie up lost the world. I'm

821
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: telling you people very easy to make. You know their

822
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 1: moms from New Orleans. New Orleans Roots as a chapter.

Speaker 1: that you love them. That wake up, that climb up

829

Speaker 1: out of bed, get that sleep out there, and let

Speaker 1: I've actually just settling, you know, still on the side

914
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: of the stage and just watch you perform at various shows.

915
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: And you know, like on Steve Harper Show, you was

916
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: almost a regular on that show because you was casting

917
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: a lot of times. Remember you, You're right, And it

918
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: was really funny because you know. I remember the classic

919
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: dance was the Dance Off, the Big Dance Off. Do

920
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: you remember that the Big Dance Off with you eod

921
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: true man? It really that was the that was the

922
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: real That was the episode where you know when these

923
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: characters and Steve character really almost had a romantic moment

924
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: because of the fact that his character came in and

925
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: and and check ste emotionally. That's what I like from

926
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: remember that this man has a career. So and all

927
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: that stuff I mentioned I mentioned, I mentioned you'd been

928
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: on Sister Sister and all these shows, Moisha and all

929
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: these shows. What what what? What? You know? I know

930
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: what I liked about you. But the worst thing about

931
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: knowing somebody You start talking and people don't get to

932
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: experience the true value who you are? What did? What

933
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: did most people? You know? You ever saying when you're casting,

934
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: because you was a you're a chamellion. You know you

935
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: could do it. You could be dropped, tramatic. You're a

936
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: very physical actor, very animated in the phase. You could

937
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: be up, you could be down. I'm talking about with volume.

938
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: And you know, because you can play against a big character.

939
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: Because when he did the Parkers playing against Monique Monique

940
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: was a big character, you know, where he had to

941
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: go against the grain, like he was a person that

942
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: was a really hard character to play because of the

943
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: fact that he had to act like he was disgusted

944
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: with his character. I would never date a character like you,

945
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: and that's a hard that's a hard thing to do,

946
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: especially when you write that character and also you working

947
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: day to day with that character, so it doesn't cross

948
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: that line. That was really interesting time for you. Correct, Oh,

949
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: thank god. I had the best time. It was uh

950
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: six years of playing with my best friend and I

951
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: got a paycheck for it. You know, you can't better

952
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: than that. You know, we had a great time. We

953
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: did a hundred and ten episodes or something like that. Um,

954
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, it was great and nobody knew, you know,

955
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: the magnitude of how big that show was gonna be. Well,

956
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, I like that when I came out and

957
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: came over to that show from the Jamie Foxx Show.

958
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: And I like the reason I came over to the

959
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: show because it was it was one of the first

960
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 1: shows on televison, especially African American shows, because at that time,

961
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: if you were on TV and you was overweight, you know,

962
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,879
Speaker 1: he was either made or use something you always took

963
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: care of, right as you always took care of somebody

964
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: when you will overweight on television. And it was the

965
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 1: first show you don't tell the truth? You know, This

966
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: was the first show where overweight black women say, I

967
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: look good, I'm gonna dress up, I construct my stuff

968
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: and I can get the man of my dream. You right,

969
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: But that was the first time. That was the first

970
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: time right here, absolutely absolutely absolutely we don't nick mcgirl,

971
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: you know if she gonna do me. But I was

972
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: just telling the truth. But that was the that was

973
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: the best why I came over, you know, That's where

974
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: I came over to the series because I've never seen

975
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: that on television. And you know, it's brilliantly done by

976
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: Sarah Fanny and uh who the co creator along with

977
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: or Vita Spears. They co created the show and developed

978
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: the show, also created Mosha. It's just a legacy of

979
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: talent that just keeps sliding, slide sliding. But when they

980
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: invited me to come over the show, that's why I

981
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: was a tracked you to the show because I just

982
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: left Jamie Fox Show and it was about an African

983
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: American mayle who found himself and it wasn't silly. And

984
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: I saw this character over here, I went, Wow, overweight

985
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 1: women on television African American. They're feeling good about themselves,

986
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: They're looking good about themselves. They're sexy. I want to

987
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: do that show, Maam. I was on the show for

988
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: two years. Happy getting the check like you said, get

989
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 1: the check? Ye, none of that. So you know you

990
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: like we talked earlier about you know, you're you're trained actor.

991
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: Do you do you teaching the classes? Do you do

992
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: any master classes? Uh? You know I just did actually

993
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: uh in New York two weeks ago. Um and it

994
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: was a group of college students. Um. But yeah, and

995
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: and by teaching, man, I don't try to drill. And

996
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: it's not a method that I formulate. But I can

997
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: only talk about my experience and what works for me.

998
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: How I go about breaking down a script, um, you know,

999
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: my character development, Um, how you go into an audition

1000
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: and you've got to be prepared and stuff like that

1001
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: from my experience. So you know, nothing is from a

1002
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: book with the if. It's everything that I've learned along

1003
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: the way. Now that so do mer favor next time

1004
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: you have one of those classes that I Rushan knew

1005
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: nothing about allow me to promote it for you're not

1006
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: saying that you have, but Rushan McDonald that's why I

1007
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: create money making conversation to promote especially events are like

1008
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: this because people don't know how to access to individual

1009
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: I know, Toosha Smith does a lot of them. You know,

1010
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: Wendy Robson does them, and I always tell them, hey,

1011
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 1: let me know so I could promote it for because

1012
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: you guys are special talents. But not only that, young

1013
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: young actors and at even veteran actors need to hear

1014
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: your story so they know that there's a journey. Like

1015
