Speaker 2: Executive producer of The Edge Bartita's iro Ball. Guys.

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: First of all, you know, we've made the big shift

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: and now we're dropping every Wednesday. So much more content that.

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 3: But in the theme of in real life, this week,

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: Angie and I got to shoot our first short film,

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 3: and Angie was in full fledged director mode.

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I did it fine, I love it. Finally, like you.

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Not Nyla knows I've been but this has been a

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: road I've been trying to go down for a long time.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: And also let her read a early version of the

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: script and how was it?

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: How they go, Oh my god, it was amazing. First

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: of all, really hard. I will do it, I think

21
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: I was. I'm gonna do an episode later down the line,

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: like the ten things I learned from shooting a short film,

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: because there really is so much to learn. I learned

24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: so much, Like it was a two day shoot. Day one,

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: I got my ass.

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: Kicked real bad, real bad. It was just like things

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: were going wrong, people were going to the wrong location.

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: I didn't have necessarily the help on certain things that

29
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna have. Brittany was managing the

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: wardrobe and cast and just everybody at the same time.

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: We shot it at a golf course, so there was

32
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: a lot of distance in between us and us trying

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: to wrangle everybody and shoot. It just was crazy. So

34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: there were some things I missed. If I were reading myself,

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: like on a one to ten, I think day one

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: would have been like a six or six, Like a

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: six because it was my first time, maybe a seven,

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: but like a six, and then day two was probably

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: a seven. Little bit of improvement. But we got some

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: amazing things cat Like we never shot a film. Well,

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: I've shot like documentary things like that. We've worked on.

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: Projects, we do the podcast, but like a scripted project

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: is such a different experience, And I don't know why.

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: I always thought of it.

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: Like this big scary thing, like and then we did

46
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: it and I was like, oh, like, yes, it was hard,

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: Yes I got my ass kicked, But also I thought,

48
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: why haven't I done this sooner? Like, Yeah, you're gonna

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: get your ass kicked the first shoot, no matter what

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: when you start, no matter when it's gonna be. It's

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: like it's gonna you're gonna have to learn some things

52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: before you get good at it.

53
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: And so I knew that.

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: Going in, but I don't know what made me wait

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: so long, Like I don't know, I don't know, But

56
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: so it felt really good to get it across the

57
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: finish line.

58
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: Brittany and I did. I don't know. She lived in

59
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: my house for like.

60
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: Forty and literally I was like, what's the point We're

61
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: shooting for twelve hours of the day.

62
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: What's the point of leaving. I'm just gonna crash at

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: the headquarters. She just slept over.

64
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: We worked from morning tonight. It was a really big deal.

65
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: But I learned a lot of things from this experience.

66
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: Number one about like I don't know, we always have

67
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: like big ideas of things we want to do, and

68
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: sometimes if you let them sit too long, they become

69
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: like they seem so far away and like such a

70
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: big task. When it's just like shout out to Ef

71
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: my friend, if he's also a director, he's directed he

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: just directed his first film. He's not a whole bunch

73
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: of episodes of like Power and those shows and videos,

74
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: and he.

75
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: Just was like, just shoot it, like just shoot it.

76
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 2: And I was like, no, it costs all this money.

77
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: He was like, you could do it for less, and

78
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: you could ask for favors and you could you know,

79
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: cross this out and cut that off and you know whatever.

80
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: He helped me frame the idea of like, yeah, why

81
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: don't I just do this? And then once Brittany and

82
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: I decided okay, we're just going to do it, then

83
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: it was like we were off.

84
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: To the races. We got our first location. Location said

85
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: yes to us.

86
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: Shout out to Liberty National and five Iron in New York.

87
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: Who's who they wanted to support me. He's as a

88
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: first time director. They wanted to support me making a

89
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: piece that was multicultural and in the golf space and

90
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: the script is in the golf space. They let me

91
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: use their places and they gave me a specific date like, well,

92
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: you could use it on this date at this time,

93
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: so that me and Brittany were like, oh shit, we

94
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: have a place to shoot less and.

95
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: Have no less than two weeks.

96
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: We have no cast, we have no wardrobe, we have

97
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: no cameras, like, we have nothing. So we had like

98
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: two weeks to like get a cast together, get a

99
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: cool like but so we did it. And it's so

100
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: funny because Brittan and I, like I said, we were

101
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: like in the house, tied down to the thing.

102
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: My mother had come by a couple of times and.

103
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: She was like, but you guys are you guys are

104
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: really working hard. She's like, but you seem like you're

105
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: having fun. I was like, you know what, I am

106
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: having fun. And it was like a reminder, like you

107
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: could work that hard and it could be fun. It's

108
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: because we were learning something. It's because we were doing

109
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: something that we've been wanting to do for so long.

110
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: And then also it just felt like.

111
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: We were doing what were supposed to be doing, like

112
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: we were right in the post of our path and

113
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: we knew that because we kept getting godwinks the whole time,

114
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: people just offering favors, people say yeah, I got you,

115
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: I know a person, Oh you know what, I know

116
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: a guy and he call him. And then trying to

117
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: get a cast together, and all the pieces just came

118
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: together and I shot my first film and that was

119
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: last week Monday and Tuesday. So now we go on

120
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: to edit, and now I'm officially a director and Brittany

Speaker 2: And wait, but let's go back a second to the

123
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: whole godwink thing. I know, I just ran through it

124
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,359

00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: was ambitious. It was ridiculous for me to think you.

147
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: Rallied in two weeks.

148
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, it was like it was crazy.

149
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,760

150
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,120

Speaker 2: Yeah, just a lot.

155
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: But you know it's that idea of like something you

156
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: prepare for and then the moment happens and it's like,

157
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Wait for the perfect time

158
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: and buy yourself more time. Sometimes it's like you got

159
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: to jump in the pool. And that's kind of like

160
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: what I felt like I was doing. I was like,

161
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: you know what, I have this story. I really believe

162
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: in it, I really see it, I can see it.

163
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: And well, I love how you said how you guys

164
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: kept getting god winks.

165
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: What are some of the godwinks that you got?

166
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: I think you should start with well one the first

167
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: night wing was like getting the locations to agree so quickly,

168
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: because it was like it happened in the span of

169
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: like two days. Like we called, Oh, we're sitting in

170
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: the kitchen brainstorming, well where should we shoot? Well maybe

171
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: this place will let us hopping on the phone, and

172
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: like the answers of positivity were coming in really quick.

173
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: Where most production, anyone in the production space or anyone

174
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: who creates content, if you're like Comedian, to do scripts

175
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: like it takes a long time. It can take a

176
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: lot of time to get everyone's schedules coordinated, to get everything.

177
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: So the fact that things were kind of like falling

178
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: into place, at least with their location, was like, Okay,

179
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: you know it happens one time. You think I just

180
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: got lucky, but then something else would happen, and then

181
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: something else and something else. Like a few days before

182
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: we shot, Angie had to go host at this Jordan event.

183
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: Jordan had this big event at the pier. Oh my god,

184
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: and I love did you see it? It was a

185
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: dope event. It was like playing basketball on the roof.

186
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: It was it was fire they did it was just

187
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: they put a lot of money into that flight it.

188
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: But I walk in and they sit sit. They seat

189
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: me in this basketball court on the rooftop. And who's

190
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: sitting right across from me?

191
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: Who loves basketball?

192
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: Take a guest and it's from New York and it

193
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: loves basketball, and it's also a director.

194
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: It makes move and it takes movies. Yes, Spike Lee

195
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: to sit right across from me. And I'm thinking to myself, Now, what.

196
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: Day it was? That Saturday? I think, so, yeah, yeah, yeah,

197
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: I was sitting there. It's a Saturday.

198
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready on Monday. Mind you, for the past

199
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: two weeks we've been like not sleeping preparing for this film.

200
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there on Saturday and Monday I'm shooting and

201
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: I see Spike and I'm like, I don't know what

202
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to get from Spike, but it's gotta be

203
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: something here. And so then he wond of getting uprom

204
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: a seat, Andy walking around and somebody points me out

205
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: to him.

206
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, look, Angie. He comes over. He gives

207
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 2: me a big hug. Oh Angie, what's up? And I'm

208
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: like hey, he was like, how are you? I said,

209
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm good.

210
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,119
Speaker 1: I'm shooting my first scripted film that I wrote on Monday,

211
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: just give me two words, and he was like, you're

212
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: gonna kill it.

213
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: He goes, but wait, no, that's not it. I was

214
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: like what he was like, tell your story and.

215
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: I tell you it sounds very simple, and like, okay,

216
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: that's cool, thanks Bike. But for me in that moment,

217
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: it's literally what I needed to hear, because what happens

218
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: is when you're doing something for the first time, or

219
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: you're doing something new, there's so many things you don't know,

220
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: Like I don't know every lens. So if I'm trying

221
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: to explain to him, I need this to look moodier.

222
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: Am I gonna be able to communicate with my my

223
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: DP what I want to see? Do I know like

224
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: that all the you know, just the technical stuff. Am

225
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: I gonna be able to execute at the level of

226
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: things that I'm still learning? You know, I'm still learning

227
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: how to do that stuff. And so I had a

228
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: lot of fear about the technical part of filming and

229
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: how prepared I was.

230
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: I do want to preface this by.

231
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: Saying I have been doing a lot of work. I

232
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: have been shadowing directors on film sets. Shout out to

233
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Steven Caple Junior, Shout out to Eve, Shout out to everybody,

234
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: shout out to Morgan Cooper. There have been directors and

235
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: people who have known I've been trying to do this

236
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: for years and have been putting their arms around me

237
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: and helping me and teaching me. And I've done all

238
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: of these, you know, by the way, you know all

239
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: those master classes, those like online master classes, all of COVID.

240
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: I did, Scorsese, Spike, I did all the writers, David Mammott.

241
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: I watched all of the master classes of filmmaking during

242
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: COVID because I knew, even back then, I knew that

243
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: this is something that I wanted to do.

244
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: So I was.

245
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: I am as prepared as I can be in my

246
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: space without having gone to film school. But still you

247
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: have the insecurity of, like, shit, now, I got a

248
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: full cast. One of my cast members, Lea. She's she's

249
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: on a show, The Equalizer, She's on a network television

250
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: show with Queen Latifa. She knows how a professional production

251
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: and director. And you know, I don't want to like

252
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: fuck some basic shit up in front of this young

253
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: girl who's looking at me as you know, the person

254
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: who's going to lead this this too. So I was

255
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: having a little bit of those insecurities. So something about

256
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: what he said to me, tell your story. It's just

257
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: a reminder that like, because nobody knows the story I

258
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: have in my head, Like there is no seasoned director

259
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: in the world that could come in and tell the

260
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: story that we were about to shoot better than I could.

261
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

262
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: So to me, that was like what I needed to

263
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: hear in that moment, And I think that is I

264
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I hope that lands for somebody, because to

265
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: me it was very meaningful and very important. It's like

266
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: it's like, don't forget what you're good at and why

267
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: you're doing this, Like, don't get caught up in the

268
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: bullshit of like maybe I'm not good at this part,

269
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know this, Maybe you know all the

270
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: insecurities that we have over things that we try to do.

271
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: But then focus on what you know, focus on what

272
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: separates you, focus on what you're good at.

273
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: And what And so to me, I know that part.

274
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: I wrote the script. It's my story.

275
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Nobody could tell that story better than I could tell it.

276
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: And so hearing that from him in that moment, I was.

277
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: Like got it, Thank you.

278
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: I'm good It's just like set off a little extra

279
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: confidence that I needed in that moment, that simple little thing.

280
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I hope where that lands for somebody,

281
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: but that shit landed for me and I needed that,

282
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: So so yeah, I had that in my head the

283
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: whole time, every time I didn't know how to say

284
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: something properly on set.

285
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 4: I'm curious because I've worked with you before, Angie, not

286
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 4: not in this space obviously, but how are you as

287
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 4: a director? Is it intense because you could be a perfectionist?

288
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 4: What was the energy on set?

289
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's so funny, You're right.

290
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: The thing is you have two days to shoot, which

291
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: is ridiculously ambitious, especially as a first time filmmaker. Like

292
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: even when I said it to some of my people

293
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: who make films, they were.

294
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: Like you sure you sure you didn't want to do that?

295
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: So it was super ambitious already. So I didn't have

296
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: the time to nitpick over details. It was like we

297
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: had to get it done, which I think for me

298
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: was probably in my best interest. I will nitpick and

299
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: be super detail oriented when i'm editing because this is

300
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: my nature. But also the thing about directing is like

301
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: it's not just me, it's like driving a boat. Yes

302
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: it's my vision and I got to get it out

303
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: and I'm leading, but you can't bulldoze a boat. And

304
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: because everybody has to row, it's like I can't row

305
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: a whole ship by myself, right, So it's like I

306
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: need to rely on the DP to do what the

307
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: DP does. I need to rely on wardrobe to do

308
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: what the wardrobe does. I need to rely on the

309
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: lighting guide to make sure that the lighting is right,

310
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: and that sound got to do sound.

311
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: So that forces you to let go of.

312
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: Some of the rains on certain things and pray that

313
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: the people that you put in place deliver the way

314
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: that they're supposed to.

315
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: And luckily we did. We had great people.

316
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: I think it's actually a good exercise for me of

317
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: like leaning into like trusting people to do what they do.

318
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: I had.

319
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: There was times when Brittany was like I was like,

320
00:13:59,400 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: why are we in?

321
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: And I had to just trust that she she's smart,

322
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: she knows me, she's in this as much as I am. Fine,

323
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: britt we can't get those people for another hour? Fine,

324
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: Whereas before like, oh me, be like well tell me why? Well,

325
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: what can I do to fix that? I just had

326
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: to trust that if she's saying this can't happen for

327
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: an hour, it can't. And I it's not my job

328
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: to figure that part out. So that's a different role

329
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: for That's different for me. But I think I did

330
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: pretty good considering my Capricorn tendency.

331
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: What would you say? What was absolutely?

332
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: I think because we were I think the godwins pushed

333
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: us into urgency that normally when we have more time

334
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: on a part project, when we have more time on

335
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: a podcast episode that maybe we shot a month ago

336
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: and we have extra days to edit, like, it makes

337
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: us find things that sometimes aren't even there. So by

338
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: being like, hey, these are all the firm deadlines we

339
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 3: have to shoot it on these todays, it's all we died,

340
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: it pushes us to maneuver differently, so and.

341
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: Pushing you to trust the process. The whole time, I

342
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: felt like we're doing what was supposed to be doing.

343
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: There was way too many things that were given to

344
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: us that we shouldn't have gotten, like people were just

345
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: showing up to help. Things were just working out. It

346
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: said sixty percent chance of rain for the whole week.

347
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: The day before it was like no rain, sunshine, beautiful,

348
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: like there were things that were happening that made us

349
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: feel like, yo, God has his hands on this project,

350
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: because there is absolutely no I think the lesson.

351
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 3: I think the lesson for me was like was like

352
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: when you finally step into the threshold, like you finally

353
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: do what you say has been on your heart in

354
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: your mind to do. God gives you that beginner's luck

355
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: and is like it just to give you enough esteem

356
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: to push that along. And he did that in the

357
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 3: Spike to.

358
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: Make you feel like, yeah, I got his Yeah, he

359
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: did that with Spike.

360
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: He did that with the location, he did that in

361
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: the rain, he did it with the wardrobe. He did

362
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: it in a lot of set per sectors like here,

363
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: let me remove a little bit of the stress it

364
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: has that ever happened to you, Nila, where you're like

365
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: maybe nervous or scared to make a big leap or something,

366
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: and then something happens and you're like, Okay, it gives

367
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: you a little hope.

368
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: But I would say the one that probably means the

369
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 4: most to me is after pandemic. You know, I wasn't

370
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 4: shooting content out of the radio station anymore. Like I

371
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: felt a little defeated because I wasn't getting the support

372
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 4: that I wanted, and also I didn't have a job that.

373
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: Was paying me enough to like book a studio, et cetera.

374
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 4: But b Et had cut me a ridiculous check to

375
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: do some content and whip that I like, went and

376
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 4: bought a podcast studio, furnished it, bought equipment, and I'm

377
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 4: three years in, you know, doing my independent journey. So

378
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 4: I think, you know, make limits with lemonades, and I

379
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: think it's cool about y'all stories that y'all accomplished so

380
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 4: much in two days, two weeks and two days the

381
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: number two.

382
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: With you guys. But you really just got to do it.

383
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: And when you do it, I feel like the doors

384
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: is always open.

385
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 4: Yo.

386
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you guys, whoever's listening out there,

387
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: just do it.

388
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: Because one thing and to go back to the pod.

389
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: Like we had Tasha Smith on this past episode, and

390
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: she had this theory about purpose.

391
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: She's like, everybody has a purpose. God gives you a purpose.

392
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: It be those little dream you think it's a dream,

393
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: but it's not a dream. It's like little taps.

394
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: It's like little knocks of telling you what your purpose is,

395
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: what your gifts are, and you have a beginning and

396
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: an end to life, and so you're given this thing

397
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: and then you have an end and then what you

398
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 1: do it in the middle is kind of up to you.

399
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 5: And that's why I always tell people, if you want

400
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 5: to know where you're supposed to be, close your eyes

401
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 5: and dream, like, just allow yourself to dream. Because I believe,

402
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 5: I really believe that God puts the dreams in our hearts.

403
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 5: It's not just this thing, this fantasy that just came up.

404
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 5: It's really connected to our purpose and our destiny.

405
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: I love that because we do all have I think

406
00:17:59,480 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: we do.

407
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't know the way she said it to me,

408
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: I was like, oh god, you know, I've always wanted

409
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: to tell stories, like my whole life, whether it was

410
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: like when I was first starting and like I was

411
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: like in love with hip hop music and I wanted

412
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: to talk to people about it, or whether it was

413
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: trying to do a documentary or trying to do write

414
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: a book, or it's just storytelling, right, And then I

415
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: would get I'd get in my way because I didn't

416
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: think really I was a real writer.

417
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: And so then what like, why do you put things

418
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: in the way of what that little thing is inside

419
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: of you that you want to do. We put things

420
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 2: in the way.

421
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: Like we tell ourselves stuff that makes it harder, instead

422
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: of just leaning into that little thing, reminding yourself that

423
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: little thing. Oh, I wanted to story this for me,

424
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: it's like telling stories making I always wanted to do this.

425
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: So now I'm doing it finally. But I'm sure I

426
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: got in my own way many years. I'm not doing

427
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: this sooner. It was because probably I had I let doubt, fear, insecurity,

428
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: all that type of stuff get in the way of.

429
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: Doing something you want to do. Who cares where it lands.

430
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: Just jump in the water because you have to do it,

431
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 1: because what's the alternative. You never do it, and then

432
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: you're sitting somewhere and at the end of your life

433
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, damn, I wish I would have maybe

434
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: one day blah blah blah blah blah. So I'm just

435
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: saying if nothing else, I would say to people, it's like,

436
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: it felt so good Britain. Since I've started working with Britain,

437
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: we've been talking about doing this type of thing, and

438
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 1: we finally, I don't know, it just felt good to

439
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: something that was on heavy on the bucket.

440
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: List to like do it. Did we do it perfect?

441
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: No? I gotta look at the editor. Now I'm gonna

442
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: be screaming because I'm gonna be like, oh, we missed

443
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: that shot or oh why did you know I'm gonna

444
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: do all that?

445
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter. Did we do it perfect? Nobody.

446
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: I really am super super proud of with you guys,

447
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 4: like I've been watching you from afar. This is so

448
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: long overdue. I can't wait to see it already know

449
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 4: it's gonna be great. The script was great, like I'm

450
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 4: really bad. Ye also it You're the one who told

451
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 4: me you can't be afraid to stuck, you can't be afraid.

452
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, sometimes you be giving people

453
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: advice because it's the shit you need to invite yourself.

454
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: I'd be like, don't be afraid.

455
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: That's also to myself, like don't be afraid, because, like

456
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: you said, I like to control shit. I like to

457
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: like to try to perfect it. Sometimes it's like, man,

458
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: just I can't wait to see you on set. Oh

459
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: my god, it was so much fun. Like there's gonna

460
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: be more because now I'm like an addict and I

461
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: feel like this is another thing I want to say,

462
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: because you guys are both young, right, but there is

463
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: an age thing that happens where people where women are

464
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: like expected to just be what they are. And then

465
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: that's it pass a certain point and I always go

466
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: to Martha Stewart. Martha Stewart started that billion dollar business

467
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: at fifty years old, made a billion dollar business.

468
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: At fifty years old. That's when.

469
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean she was already doing Martha Sewart's stuff, but

470
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: the company that she built she started at fifty and

471
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: became a billion dollar company. The point is like who cares,

472
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that you all always gotta grow, You always

473
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: gott to do new stuff.

474
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: You always could.

475
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: It could be the first time for whatever. So I

476
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: remember being like I was probably a little younger than

477
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: you guys. I was probably like in my twenties, and

478
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: I remember thinking to myself, this was when I was

479
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: like dabbling in music and stuff, and I thought, I

480
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: want to learn how to play it.

481
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: No, it's too bad I didn't learn how to play

482
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: an instrument.

483
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: And I remember that being so final, Like I had

484
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: the thought like, too bad I could never learn how

485
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: to play an instrument.

486
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 2: I'm probably twenty eight, twenty seven, you know how nice.

487
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: I will be right now.

488
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: If I would have just started on that day, you

489
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I'd be doing the concerts, not

490
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: cost I.

491
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: Mean, it's kind of like it's kind of like maybe

492
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: with golf for a lot of people.

493
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's why I just I said that

494
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: the other day to somebody.

00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: I went, Yes, I went yesterday to see a great

505
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: one of the best Broadway plays I've ever seen in

506
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: my life.

507
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: Buenav is a social club. So yeah, you gotta go.

508
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: We'll get tickets, We'll we'll do an I R O outing.

509
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love this for us. But anyways,

510
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 2: I was.

511
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 3: Watching I'm my Father's Cuban and the show is about

512
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: this this Cuban music band and it's in English and

513
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: in Spanish. And I always had so much shame growing

514
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: up being a Latina kid and not speaking Spanish, and

515
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 3: I've sat in that shame for like far too long.

516
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 2: So after watching the Broadway play, I was like, you

517
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: know what, I.

518
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 3: Just need to just start, just start learning Spanish and

519
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 3: get serious about learning Spanish now.

520
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: And it's like, yeah, so I think that that's gonna

521
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: be my thing now at this age. I might do

522
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: it with you in my bigg.

523
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: Might get a two for I did that once, but

524
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: I just never I started, and then it fell off.

525
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: And then when Nicola was young, I had a tutor,

526
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: I had a no I had a woman helping me

527
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: like a nurse when he was a baby, and she

528
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: only spoke Spanish. So she had stayed with us for

529
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: a couple of months and I was speaking to her

530
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: in Spanish every day. My Spanish started getting so good,

531
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: and then once that was over, back in back in

532
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: the toilet, my Spanish went. But I'm just saying we

533
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: could do it.

534
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think I absolutely committed. I told

535
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: my dad and everything. I was like, I think we

536
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: should start having conversations in Spanish because I just needed

537
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 3: like throw myself into the deep end. Your dad's Spanish,

538
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 3: I mean he's He's a New Yorker, so it's like,

539
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: you know, to a native Cuban is born there, it's

540
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot different.

541
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's like the New yor Rikan thing.

542
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 3: Like the Puerto Rican Spanish and the New Yorkan Spanish

543
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 3: is two different Spanishes. But he but he it's far

544
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 3: more than me, so he can get me started.

545
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: He can get us started. That's great. What are you

546

00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: making sure everybody eat, clean, cleaned up, like it was

625
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: a big ask. They were there all day for two

626
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: days for no money. You know what I'm saying like

627
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: it's a big ask for somebody. I asked some friends

628
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: to just come by and be extra hands and they did,

629
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: some couldn't, and that was totally okay. I realized, like

630
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: I didn't feel no way about the friends that we

631
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: couldn't do it because they got everybody got lives, everybody

632
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: got things going on, and but it just, I don't know,

633
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: it just made me more comfortable to you.

634
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 3: Also, don't You're not the type of person that you're

635
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 3: like asking people for things all the time, so like.

636
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 2: It definitely makes it easier for people to say that.

637
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 3: It's like dang, like Angie doesn't ask me for anything

638
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 3: anytime anytime.

639
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 2: And you always help people.

640
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 4: You have you have a career of helping people, so

641
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 4: I think you will always have God's blessings with all

642
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 4: of your.

643
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: But there is something to be said about holding on

644
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: to your ask anytime.

645
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 2: Oh knowing when is the right?

646
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, yeah, I'm not gonna waste to ask. I'm

647
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: not doing that. I'm not doing that. And also, like

648
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: you do, I want to take advantage of people. You

649
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: don't want to wear people out, Like I know good people,

650
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: I know people with oh my god, I'm almost forgot

Speaker 2: All the things.

655
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: So I confided in her before the episode that I

656
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: was getting ready to go on this journey jump in

657
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,680

658
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: She screamed, like if it was for her, she was like,

659
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 2: Oh my.

660

662
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: what you're doing, and blah blah blah. She just asked,

663
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: She's like, do you want me to come on set

664
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: and help you.

665
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I don't need you to. I

666
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: need to learn everything. But she was so supportive. I

667
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: was so grateful for that. So then we're on the

668
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: pod and she was like, you should tell everybody, and

669
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't like to say things before I

670
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: do it, but okay, fine, I'm getting ready to direct

671
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: this thing that I wrote and blah blah blah blah blah.

672
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: I shared with you.

673
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 5: And next week I'm starting a nexiting. I'm so excited

674
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 5: and I will be sending you love. And you know

675
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 5: I'm a phone call away. You could call me for anything,

676
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 5: if it's any thoughts.

677
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: And I know you have Eve as well. Yes, but

678
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 2: just know I'm here for you. I know you are.

679
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: I know you're gonna kick ass.

680
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 6: I know you are.

681
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 1: So after we take the episode, I come home and

682
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm flushing out the script and I realized there was

683
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: something that wasn't working.

684
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 2: So I wrote a new scene and the scene had

685
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: a mother in it.

686
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: It was like like a two page scene that I

687
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: wrote that I added out of nowhere. Now we're shooting

688
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: on Monday, it's like less than a week away, and

689
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: I said to Brittany, I need somebody to be the mother.

690
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: Who could it be? She was like, you should ask Tasha.

691
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: I was like, absolutely not. Tasha's like she's like, no way,

692
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm not asking Tasha Smith. She's like the acting coach,

693
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: the you know, like she's got a hundred movies, like

694
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: not on my first film. I'm not gonna waste to ask.

695
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that. And then I don't know.

696
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: I just she was like why she's so supportive of you,

697
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: and she she was so exciting when you told her

698
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: what you're doing. I was like, all right, let me

699
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: get back into my like this project is. God's got

700
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: his hands on it, and I don't be afraid.

701
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: Just ask.

702
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: If she says no, you still love her. It's all good.

703
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: She's supported enough. So I sent a text. Let me

704
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: read you the exact text for a fact. So I

705
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: sent her a text, Sis, I'm shooting a scene in

706
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: my short with Leah, who's the actress. I told you

707
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: about any chance you'd consider popping in for a small role.

708
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: I know it's a big ask, and if you can't,

709
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: I swear I will feel no way. It's just a

710
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: tiny role I need to fill and I know you

711
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: would murder it. Me and Britt decided, fuck it. We're

712
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: just gonna ask, but seriously, no pressure. Love you either way,

713
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: and thank you for all the support. It means the

714
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: world to me. That's all I said. She hit me

715
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: right back, Sis, I think I can. I have a

716
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: video shoot, but I can move it around. I'll look

717
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: at the schedule, but yes, I think I can. And

718
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: then she sent me a voicemail that says we're good.

719
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 2: I'll be there. Just tell me what time, What do

720
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: you need me to wear? What do you need? If

721
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: we were in the kitchen, like he said, yes, this.

722
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: Is crazy, So yeah, so Tasha Smith is actually in

723
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: the higher.

724
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: I know so.

725
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: And the other thing I want to say about that

726
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: is number one, old me would have never asked that

727
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: because you do not have so much respect.

728
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: For people's art craft. I'm new I might mess it up.

729
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, I just feel all

730
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: the things that you don't ask for favors for the

731
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: But the confidence came from all those God wings for

732
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: me feeling like.

733
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: We're doing what we're supposed to be doing.

734
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: There's no way all this stuff happens if this is

735
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: not what I'm supposed to be doing. So in that vein,

736
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: let me lean all the way in and go out

737
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: of character and ask for this favor.

738
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 3: And she said it really made me love Tasha so

739
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: so like I already loved her before, but it really

740
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 3: made me respect and love her like times a million.

741
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: Because a lot of.

742
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: People will be like, you gotta support women to women,

743
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 3: you gotta be you know, girl power and stuff. But like, yeah,

744
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 3: on the panels, you do all the things, all the

745
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 3: brunches and things women empower me, right, But like that

746
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 3: was a moment where it was like, are you gonna

747
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 3: show up for this new director, this new Who's Who's

00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: you know, has legacy in the game, but now it's

749
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: trying a new venture. And like her showing up doing

750
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: we didn't have extensive wardrobe. She's a real actress, like

751
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 3: a real actress on real big sets.

752
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: She's doing TV, syndicated TV.

753
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 6: Nah.

754
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: She was so dope. And then she and then she

755
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: was texting us like this is what I'm gonna wear?

756
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: Is this okay? How do you want my hair?

757
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: Like she carried me as a seasoned director, and she

758
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: took it serious. She didn't just be like, Okay, fine,

759
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: I'll do you the favor and give you a whatever,

762
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: send me the script. I have a question about the script.

763
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: Then when we.

764
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: Got the set, everybody was like so happy to see

765
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: her because you know, she's just such a pro and

766
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: so dope and talented and whatever. So she shows up

767
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: and we're getting ready to shoot our scene and and

768
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: I could just see her smiling for me.

769
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 2: She was just like watching me, like how's it going?

770
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: So I do the thing I call everybody said, I'm

00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: like action and she goes and she does her first past.

772
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: Of course it's great. And she comes over after she goes,

773
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: do you have any notes? I said. I was like,

774
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 2: you were amazing, but actually I have a note. And

775
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: I was so excited to give Tasha a note. It

776
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: was like your dream to me.

777
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: And she took the note and she was like, great note.

778
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, good, we did nothing. We did

779
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: another take of it, and of.

780
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: Course, I mean, of course that's dope. Isn't that dope?

781
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: Like sometimes she's like, you know how it is?

782
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: Man, People ask for stuff all the time. Sometimes we

783
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: could do it. Sometimes I can't, you know, And so

784
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: I know if she couldn't.

785
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 2: She couldn't. It's okay, she's entitled to.

786
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: But when you can and you do show up, especially

787
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: in moments like that, it's just so meaningful. Like I'm

788
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: super grateful to her for that. And the whole cast,

789
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, they were wonderful. They trusted me. Nobody was

790
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 1: looking at me like, oh gosh, she's the first time director,

791
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: this this could go.

792
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: They were all like, how do you want to see?

793
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: Is this okay? Well?

794
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: You know, they all showed up, they knew their lines,

795
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: they were on time, there was a lot you know,

796
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: anytime you're making a film or anything, there's always a

797
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: lot of waiting. Everybody was super patient and it was

798
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: just I mean, it was the perfect experience for a

799
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: first time director or filmmaker to have. It's the perfect

800
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: amount of people. My mom's there, my aunt, they're doing catering.

801
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: Britney's running around like a crazy lady trying to handle everything.

802
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 2: Your son's on a set.

803
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: My son, Nico, Nico was there. He was like he

804
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: jumped in on it for a cameo with CC and

805
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: this one little scene. But he also was driving people around,

806
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: driving my actors home, picking up things.

807
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: Moving priors, like no, no, it was like a family thing.

808
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: So that part of it was really fun too, because

809
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have a budget for all those.

810
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: And it's cool because now they all now, we all

811
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 3: have this memory that.

812
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 2: We share, you know. Super dope. Yeah, super dope.

813
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: So I think, use your community when when it's the time,

814
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: don't wear people out, don't ask for fables all the time.

815
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: But when you're doing something meaningful and you're doing something

816
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: that's like important, use your community.

817
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 2: People love you, and if they love you, they want

818
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 2: to do it and.

819
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: If you haven't warned people out and asked for things

820
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: all the time, you know, then they kind of want to.

821
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I just it was a great

822
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: lesson for me. Doesn't mean I'm going to completely change

823
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: be asking for people things all the time now, but

824
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: I will give myself permission to if it's something I

825
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: feel passionate, it's important, you're important or meaningful or yeah,

826
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: and it's not just about me, because that's the thing

827
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: about filmmaking.

828
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: It's really not just about you.

829
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I wrote this story, but once you give that

830
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 1: story to that cast and that crew and your team,

831
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: that story becomes everybody's story. Like we are all trying

832
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: to tell the same story together, so it really becomes

833
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: a community thing. So it's almost like you're fighting not

834
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: just for yourself and this vision, but you're fighting to

835
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: make give everybody the tools they need to do the job.

836
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: So it's like, I don't know, just was a.

837
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 3: Really really do you've really been living out here? You

00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,720
Speaker 3: the other day like, fuck it, just do it? You've

Speaker 2: Put a wig on me. I never do wigs. I

844
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: was with all the ships.

851
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: this goes, but I'm having fun. So anyway, I just

852
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: want to One of the reasons for these episodes that

853
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: we'll be doing now in between interviews is because I

854
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: think it's important to include our our community, like our

855
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: IRL community, and things that are happening in real life

856
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: asorry from just our guests and our interviews, which I'm

857
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: super grateful and are amazing. And Regina King was, Oh,

858
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: that was tough, but it was lovely and I was

859
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: grateful that she trusted me enough to sit in the

860
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: chair and it was meaningful. I took that home with

861
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: me like my heart was like I felt I felt

862
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: her inside my heart for like at least three days

863
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: after that conversation. But she was just I don't know,

864
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: she's trying her best, she's a warrior. She's she's showing up,

865
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: which man, just showing up, right, And you go through

866
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: something like that, and she's talking about her darkest day

867
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: that she cries every day still, but to be in

868
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: that state and still show up, it's such a beautiful

869
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: thing to witness. And so I appreciate that Tasha was

870
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: Tasha being a preacher, cursing and being a preacher and

871
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: being amazing. So yeah, the interviews are still going and

872
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: that's happening, but I think we'll be doing in real life.

873
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 2: Did we name these episodes yet or what?

874
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,280

877
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,799

879
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 4: Oh? Oh, okay, this is a current one that I'm

880
00:38:58,880 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 4: actually about to start.

881
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 2: Is it a hobby or is it a goal or

882
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 2: is it I don't know what the hell it is.

883
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna be on substack now and I'm on

884
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 4: there just as like a ongo, like a watcher, like

885
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 4: I retweet people's articles, I commented on people's stuff. But

886
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 4: I'm actually going to start like releasing my own I

887
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 4: guess little diary posts.

888
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm really.

889
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 4: Excited about that, just because I'm a fan of written media.

890
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 4: Like I started at the Source magazine, so I like

891
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 4: that type of stuff. So the fact that substack is

892
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 4: actually up and bubbling. So my goal is to have

893
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 4: one meaningful piece up a month, one a month. And

894
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 4: I I just haven't released it yet, but I keep

895
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 4: rereading it, tweaking it, changing it, and then next thing

896
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 4: you know, I've written something completely different.

897
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 2: So but at some point I'm going to release it.

898
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 2: Put it out.

899
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: Jump at the pool, Nihila, jump at the pool. Just

900
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: do it, because next month you got to do another one.

901
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: So even if it's not perfect, who cares?

902
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 2: Go just do it. I love that we you go tweekts,

903
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 2: you go anything going culturally or or in the news

904
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 2: or anything this week that we want to touch on.

905
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 2: I RL I mean, we really loved Cardi B's always

906
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 2: in the news lately. Cardi was heavy on the news.

907
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: She was in my trending topics all week this week

908
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: because her court case was the greatest content of the

909
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: year to me.

910
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,959
Speaker 2: Of her with her faces and her things and her.

911
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: Own asked questions like what No, it was absolutely ridiculous.

912
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: And I think she knew that, and she knew going

913
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: in and she went there on some like okay, you

914
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: want me to do this, okay, fine, And she showed

915
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: up and made it entertaining.

916
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: She's like using.

917
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: Clips of it now or photos of it now to

918
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: like promote her album. Like she made it work for

919
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: her because it's stupid that she had had to go

920
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: through that. And then she and then I feel like

921
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: she was kind of trolling everybody with that outfit and

922
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: she took the outphit off and is she pregnant that.

923
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 2: We don't we have no idea, We don't know for certain.

924
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: We don't need to know because we we don't need

925
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 2: to be in hovery.

926
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: You're right, But the fact that she was like trolling people,

927
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: I think it's funny and dope and good for her

928
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: because she should have fun. She was saying, like, none

929
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: of this ship, Like, if you're not having fun, what

930
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: is the purpose of any of what you do?

931
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: You gotta put some fun in there. So she looked

932
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,719
