Okay, okay. 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.440 Tamra Hall grills Larson Pippin on dating Michael Jordan's son. Thoughts, 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.760 did you guys see the clip? Why would you date 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.200 Michael Jordan's son? I didn't planet like that. It wasn't 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:07.920 like it was planned like that. I think we were 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.280 just together a lot with our friends and it just 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.520 so happened. Listen, larsa b be pimping. I mean, that's 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.160 that's all I can say. Like she she ain't tricking, 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.359 if you got it. She did say that she was 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.880 pregnant majority of her twenties. Yeah, yes, she did say that. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.760 She said she has a lot of kids. Yes, yeah, 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:29.519 they have four. She said she got with him but 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.799 he was ten years older than her, right, so do 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.400 they have kids together? Her and Michael Jordan's son. No, No, 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.080 it's just kind of awkward because good time she dated 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.440 with fathers sometimes turning the kids. I think they I 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.720 think they're just having a good time. They saying it's 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.919 weird because they're like, you've known this guy since he 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:50.799 was a kid. Facts so down with teammates. Yeah, so 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.440 you was reading him as a man when he was 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.839 a kid, maybe picked them up from school. That's really 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.320 disgusting when you put it that way. I mean, really 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:02.440 think about it at it's giving. I've watched you, and 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.600 I've been watching you because you know how sometimes people 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.519 like when they're in a relationship with another person and 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.640 that person has a child that isn't theirs, and they 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.320 kind of start to do things with the child that's 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.079 kind of gross. Grooming is like industry people doing the 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.600 industry all the time. It's disgusting. But I've seen it 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.000 a lot, and it's a word that's supposedly now we 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:27.280 can no longer use because people groom? Can we shout out? 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.799 Take some time to child out? Sue Solos Creed three 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:37.000 hosting Yellow Congratulation, Private Screening if you need Hennessey, she 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:42.360 didn't know we had a in atl We uh, we 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.960 had time.

I gotta make sure I would have 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.400 been there, so we will connect and I will make 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.120 sure you were on the invite list because we have 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:29.240 a good time. Michael B. Jordan was called corny by 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.040 and you know we know each other. We go way back, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.800 all the way to Chad Science and Newark. Okay, No, 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.720 I did not say that misquoted for sure, No, you 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.960 did not hear anything crud I said. When you used 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.760 to make fun of the name. But yeah, he is 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.280 obviously killing things out here. You were there, you saw, 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:57.960 I saw, but I saw that I saw. She wrapped 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.560 it up with you ain't corny no more? Well you're 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.000 not calling anymore right now. I would have kept that 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.440 same energy, though, is that as I did before? Like 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.960 with that, I wouldn't have been like, okay, and you 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:13.280 got money in your corny still Like she didn't say it, 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.279 she didn't see. He was like, yes you did. Yeah, 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:17.720 but I don't think got that that But she was 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.039 saying that he was kind of like Lane growing up 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.359 in house as a man. If you call me Lane, 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.680 that you technically calling me corny. But I would have 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:29.000 kept my same There's people who aren't lame. There's popular 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.440 people growing up that are still corny, no, thousand percent 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.160 because they called Russell Wilson corny, right, ok call him 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.760 Lane and just because he cares for his family. So 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:43.320 how would you the pine corny? I mean you just do. Yeah, 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.680 what's the definition of corn I don't know. That's a 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.360 good question. I know what it is you trying to 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.239 joke in and it's it's not it's not landing, okay 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.520 to me? Like your jokes aren't landing. You're probably you 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.200 have awkward moments, okay, which is like okay, guys, or 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:04.400 you do that. It's like say you try to sit 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:05.680 down and he pull your chair out and you fall 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.680 a ground and your heels and your dress and then 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:10.800 it's supposed to be a joke, but it was like 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.080 too far, like doing I feel like in high school terms, 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.760 like if you weren't a part of like the cool group, 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:18.720 like if you didn't play football, or if you weren't 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.840 one of those people that was like skipping class or 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.120 living life on the edge for a high school or 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:24.880 they would call you corny if you were someone who 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.600 was focused on your books, if you were somebody who 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.119 like didn't maybe that's around with a lot of girls 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.400 or guys or whatever. They just felt like you were corny, 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.440 Like you just can't you know what? My definition of 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.120 corny is that if you're trying to pretend to be 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.400 somebody that you not, that's my definition of corny. Try 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.960 to fit in right. But I understand. I understand how 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.840 he felt because when he was in school, he was 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.560 talking about being an actor and he was going to 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.680 scool his headshots and stuff, like that, so I can 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.360 kind of relate to him. That's why I was like, yeah, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.559 you go, Michael B. Jordan, because when I was in school, 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:57.960 I was telling people this is what I was going 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.880 to be doing for a living. And he came from 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.599 North That's the hood. Like people don't understand that's really 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.240 the hood. He was focused, not interested in going to 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.200 the high school parties. And I think people in high school, 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.240 if you can think back to that time, they would 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.720 consider you corny. Oh you don't want to come to 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.440 the party. You ain't skipping class to go to the movie, 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.960 you ain't smoking no dopeish school. That's me. I don't 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.720 forget nothing. I don't forget nothing, But you don't forget 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.040 how people feel. I don't forget how people make me feel. Yeah, 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.880 and I mean I still felt like he carried himself 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.880 in a good way. He did it, so he did it, 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.680 so did the interview. He did it, So don't still 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.160 he didn't happen. He didn't happen to because you know 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:36.760 what I would have did. I would have been like 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.720 the corny kid, right and I would have walked off, Yeah, 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:45.080 because you're petty. Because but the end that interview was 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.160 so crazy though, like the way it ended and the 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:48.880 way he walked off. I was like, oh, I can 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.800 also more, You're not corny anymore. I was over here 0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:00.440 that I feel like that want to corny and she 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.320 came yeah. And that was the gratifying moment, was it not? 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:05.960 It was That's why you got to watch what you 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.000 say to people, because I assumed that she thought, this 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.400 is Michael B. Jorge. There's no way he's listening on 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.040 things that I'm saying. And he said, oh I heard it. 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.000 I liked the moment of the exchange. I like she 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.360 stood on business and he still on business. But I 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.840 didn't agree with I would have not interviewed him. I 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.920 would have interviewed everybody. I mean, you work for a station, 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.160 a company that is requiring you to do this interview, 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.960 you gotta want to do it. She knew she would 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:36.800 have anything. Would you would have kept that same energy 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.600 or would you would have just like faked it out? 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.360 If I have to do it, if I'm obligating in 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.679 my station makes me I would have kept the same energy. Yea, Hey, 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.240 remember we went to high school and he was a 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.160 little corny kid. Yeah, now exactly, you know what I 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.839 don't think she should have brought up the fact that 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:50.920 they knew each other from high school, because if she 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.599 had brought it up first. First, remember it was a 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.559 corny kid from back, No she said. She said, yea, yeah, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.640 we go way back from high school. He said, yeah. 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.559 Remember I'm the corny kid from high school. That stands 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:10.280 he brought it up. He would have brought it up anyway. 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.679 I was just way like popping his ship. He was, No, 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.680 he was. He was popping the ship. Yeah, he's coming 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.960 out the red carpet see and all the media outlets 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:20.640 that he sees her. He's like, I got you back. 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.760 And first of all, when I was there, you would 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.319 have thought Michael Jackson touched the red carpet the only 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:33.199 thing he was. And that's how it feels about That's 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.679 how I feel about Russell Wilson. People talk all this stuff, 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.960 but when he comes around, they'd be flocking. Oh yeah, 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.600 Russell still didn't really bad last NFL season, the Sierra's 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:47.640 Husband player. You would call him corny every time you 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:53.520 said Russell Wilson, I kept thinking, Russell Westmon, what happened? 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.760 What did he do? Yeah, but you know they called 0:09:55.760 --> 0:10:00.319 Sierra's husband corny Like, Yeah, I feel like they seems 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.320 like like he was raised with very lovable I think 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.199 they put the labeled corny on anybody who's supposed to 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:10.839 do corny until until Michael we joined the interview with 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:17.760 a girl long time. It kind of chilled out, kind 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.240 of feels it out the term too. I just think 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.000 we all grew. I think corny was like really using 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.520 high school like high school and college day all the 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.320 corner kids though. I mean, you guys, rot who turned 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:33.040 out to join because let me tell you three he 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.680 did that? He did he ain't directed in his bag. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:39.480 Let me ask you, Gail, where you a cool kid 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:45.840 in school? I mean that was popping what you're talking about? 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.120 That thought? Did you guys see Tommy versus Natalie None fight? 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:55.439 Did you see that that was funny because about Tommy 0:10:55.520 --> 0:11:01.320 from Loving hip Hop? Yes? She the boxing fight? Wait 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.600 was this like intentional? Yes? It was what the Zeus 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.559 network was. It was fighting in London. Yeah. All I'm 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:13.880 saying is none of it makes sense that None Natalie 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.680 put the paws on her and then um, Tommy didn't 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.199 even come out for the next round. Tomady, she just 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.400 fell out like when you have your little break in 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.840 between round, but maybe she did a little side back 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:29.920 and better Again. I don't think she took a die. No, 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.240 I think she I think Tommy su pride for I 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:36.720 don't think she would want to lose on proud. People 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.560 don't realize how much boxing takes out of you. Yeah, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.559 street fighting and boxing are two different things, and she 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.480 was losing. She should have just took the gloves off 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:49.800 and fought for real. Wait. Wait, now she would have 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.439 lost some money. Now she would never got paid. It 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.719 got paid. I feel like Tommy got so tired. You 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.160 saw her wind melling at a point she would just 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.400 like no, no. You see her as so point just 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:08.000 taking punches because she was so tired. Wait, think about this. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.440 The average fight last thirty seconds. I don't know if 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.160 y'all know that last thirty seconds. But after the fight, 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.160 you have felt like you've been fighting for two hours. 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.559 I'm just confused. She had a party host highlight right, Yes, 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:25.640 she had that after the wind, Tommy, after the wind, 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.360 this is what we're got tonight. So she didn't go 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:33.400 to her party. I doubt it. But speaking of parties, 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.240 I got I gotta address something. I got addressed. The 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:39.079 elephant in the room. Oh uh. Since Atlanta seems like 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:43.360 the home of the hookah, Santana says men shouldn't smoke hooker. 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.079 If you was the man, you don't need to be 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.480 smoking a hookah, baby, go out. You need to be 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.199 all you up a wood. You need to be smoking 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.720 you something za Okay, you don't need to be suckered 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:57.640 down a hooka bad bitch, baddy. I'm sure has everyone 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.280 in here smoked hooka before smoke? I ain't gonna stop 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.440 smoking because Saucy Santana said, I tryout, It's not for me. Wait, 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.160 so what are he's trying to say is men shouldn't 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.240 have a hooka in they in their mouth? Yeah? Is 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.800 that just straight man? Yeah, he's talking about No, No, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.160 he's talking about straight man. He's saying that's an indicator 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:22.160 of like, right homosexual. Yeah. I disagree, man, they've been 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.040 smoking hooka for four hundred years. I mean, I don't. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.480 I don't agree with that because then you could get 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.440 into like you know how they call the crack pipe 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.599 a glass. Did you know what I'm saying? Then? I 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:38.880 didn't know that from sorry, or when you smoke with 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.120 other men and they'd be licking all on a background 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.000 and then you can't you can't puttick it in your mouth. 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.160 I've never understood people rolling weed and lick at it 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.000 and doing all that and then you passing it. Now, 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.640 that's why my smoking days, I just I think that's 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.400 why I want. They lick it. They lighted to kind 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:07.040 of burn disaffected. That's oh God, don't act like they 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.160 always had tips for hooker. Who since when they didn't 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.960 hut up? Since when? Man, listen, I'm gonna stop smoking 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.920 hooker because us Saucy saying Santa whatever his name is, 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.320 that's my dog man, I thought, is crazy. Though. No, 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.600 I haven't smoke hooker with him, but I smoke then 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:32.120 talking about who could have enough straight man? According to 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.560 his rule, we smoke hook You have your own tip, Yeah, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:39.600 you have your on tip. That's his point. We take 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.640 quick commercial better. When we come back, we were getting 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.040 Big Bean's business put down at Hooker.

What high school? Yeah? We high school school? 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:36.360 Stop playing? So when did acting come into play as 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:40.800 you were growing up? A year doctor Knarkers, which ironically, 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.720 do you guys know Omar Dorsey? I would be playing 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.800 one um raising Canaan as the one that was dating Rock, 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.480 the drug dealer that knew art and stuff and she 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.520 killed him. Okay, I probably got pull it up. You'll 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.160 see him this season on Snowfall. Okay. So Omar Dorsey 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.520 is from the cat He went to the Cata School 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:03.280 of Arts. Doctor Narker was his theater teacher. Laugh. He's 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.160 a little older than me. Laugh. I guess went to 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.400 Stevenson and then he was my theater teacher for senior, 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.960 my senior in high school, and he just opened my 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.000 mind up to a whole world of life. Like oh, 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.240 I like this, like this is fun. I can get 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.520 paid to do this like that's it, like just this, 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:22.920 And I said, okay, this is what I want to do. 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.960 Because originally that I was gonna graduate from high school, 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:30.280 be a cheerleader, go to college for it, graduate from college, 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.560 be a Dallas Cowboys child. And then someone told me 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.000 that they only get packed fifty dollars a game. I 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.120 heard that that's still true. I don't know. I wasn't 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:42.560 trying to find out, just to find out. You know, 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.440 you hear certain things about certain stuff, and it's like, 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.280 I don't even want to go down that paty dollars 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:50.520 a game. That could have been a lie, but every 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.840 lie I have a little bit of truth too. Where 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.080 you are now, thank you. So I just chose to 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.600 pursue acting. I went to cup Well again. It was 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.920 my senior in high school. So I wasn't applying to 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.119 colleges because I thought, Okay, I'm just gonna move to 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.320 LA and pursue acting. But my mom, being a high 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.080 school teacher, she's not with that, deciding not to further 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:17.840 your education. So school, where where are your college letters? 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:19.520 They're not coming in. I said, oh, I'm not going 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.240 I'm moving to La to pursue acting, and she was like, 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.520 the hell you not the hell you are? You going 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.720 to college and you're getting a degree. It's something you 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.359 can get a job in. So went about Austin did 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.760 nothing related to acting or theater. While I was in college, 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:38.320 I was a real student, like student accounting in finance. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.760 I was a double major. Oh, I had my bachelors 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.560 in accounty. Come on, man to good with the money. 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.879 I'm good with the money. You're good with the numbers, 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:52.720 good with the business. Cross Delta went to study abroad 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.680 in Germany. I went to cars Royal University. Oh. I 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.720 thoroughly enjoyed my college. I did co ed competition cheerly. 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.919 Then I lived my life. And then once I graduated, 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.439 I let her know like this was for you. Now 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.080 I'm going to do what I want, which is active. 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.600 And then eventually I went to AIU for media from production. 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:16.800 Then graduating okay, right there, gave my money, learned when 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.600 I need to learn. And then once I started being 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:21.880 productive in the business, I was like, well it cost 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.480 a lot, so to me, it just didn't make any 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:26.800 sense because I had hope. You know, in Georgia you 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.280 have hope. But my hope ran out from my first degree. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.120 So now I'm paying out a pocket and taking out 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.200 student loans and I was just not for that. Started 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.760 getting active in my career here and I decided to 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:40.440 go to LA And it took me a while to 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.000 get there because I'm a sage. We just moved, you know, 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.760 we free do what we want to do. And my 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.520 mother kept saying no, like I couldn't go, and don't go. 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:52.800 You don't have a plan, You've never been. But I 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:54.640 knew I wanted to go there an act. I don't 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:58.399 know nobody in my in my family or personally that 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.920 is pursuing this that can help get me in. But 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:02.840 I'm gonna just go and take a leap of faith. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.080 And I figured it all out. I kind of finessed 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.840 the plan. When was the first like big gig that 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:16.720 you said, huh, it's working, it's happening. Unexpected. Unexpected was 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.040 a feature film I did independent. We shot that in Chicago. 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.320 It was the first major thing I booked, and it 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.840 had Kobe Smallders from How I Met your Mother she 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.600 was the lady who played Robert Shovski and How I 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.960 Met Your Mother and then Honors Home and Elizabeth McGowan, 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.200 and I was the lead. Me and Kobe were the leads. 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.159 So I booked that and it wasn't paying much, but 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.760 I knew that it was going to do exactly what 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.440 it did. It went to Sundance Film Festival. It got 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.480 me my manager, it got me exposure, it got the 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.840 Hollywood reporter, it got me attention of people. And now 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.280 you got some alcolades at the Sundance. Yeah. Yeah, it 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:56.720 got me next generation breakout actors. Um it did what 0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.280 it was supposed to do. Yea. This was living in LA. 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.000 You didn't have to get a job. No, I definitely 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:04.720 had a job. I got a job the first time 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:09.560 I went to Okay. I had a few jobs. That's 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:14.200 that's the story that people don't hear when people people 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.840 move to La. They don't they don't understand the actors grind. 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.520 So I went to go visit June fourteenth to July fourteen. 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.640 My first two days there, I got a job at 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.800 Windsor Windsor Fashion Story, it's like a little clothing store. 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:32.440 And then I was working at Francesca's Boutique. It's like 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.840 a little boutique clothing store. And I worked at Sheek 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:38.840 it's a sneaker store. And I was waitressing at like 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:44.800 a little sports bar. I didn't know anybody there. I 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.520 wasn't I was there for my acting. So until I 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.200 try to tell artists a lot because a lot of 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.680 times they just think, okay, grind, grind, grind, and not work. 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.119 But until it's a full time job, you need to 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:02.320 have income coming in the bills. Don't you got a 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:08.240 wardrobe makeup? I mean it is a gas yes, so 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:13.760 carry on. You can't be in LA and I have 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.000 a car. I don't see how people do it right? Um, 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.960 And I like to eat. I'm a food baby. Okay, 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.600 We've got some food dates. I got a whole list 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.199 of rest I don't think you met your match. They 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:30.879 know what's your favorite restaurant here? Oh care?

See you got a lot, you got a 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:40.080 lot of to be played. Lounge over in East Point, 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.960 I remember I've never been there. Did I just set 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:47.440 up a friendship? You set wet? Can I can I 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:49.080 get to my favorite part? Dog? Can I ask? Can 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:53.919 I ask about snowfall? That's how I found you. I'm excited. 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:56.119 I'm excited. I'm excited they fired me, and I'm so 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.840 glad because after that, I got booked every month. So 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:02.240 I worked for the airline. So you so you got 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:04.959 fired from the jobs that you were actually working at. 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:06.640 I quit all the other jobs and I was working 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:08.919 just at Virgin America Airlines, which is now brought out 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:12.639 by Alaska. Loved that job. It was from Atlanta. So 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:14.880 I always look for a job. Every job. I had 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:22.800 always looked for a job, so I found I always 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.719 every single job, there's something where the pay is more 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.800 than just the money. So with like she story, yes, 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:34.960
