00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: next guest I'm about to bring on the show I've

98
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: been I'm gonna tell you about this guy is that

99
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: I met him. We're gonna talk about this. I met

100
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: him on the Steve Harvey camp and you know, I

101
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: was a little jealous of him because you know, I

102
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: was writing on the show back in the early Name.

103
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: He was on every doing TV show and he looked

104
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: good too. And I'm not man because he looked good.

105
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: But he was on every doing TV show and I

106
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: could but he never did my show because I did

107
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: the Parenthood, I did the Sister Sister, I did the

108
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: Jamie Fire, and I could never cast his brother. You

109
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: know why, because he always had his own series. He

110
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: always had his own series. He's one of the most

111
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: consistent working actors in Hollywood. He's one of the stars

112
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: of the new owned series. Please welcome to Money Making

113
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: Conversation Dendre with Phil my brother, Mr Wit Phil. How

114
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: are you doing? What's going on? I'm doing well, man,

115
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. And man, I say that man because

116
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: you and and jokingly because uh, I admired because we

117
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: know Hollywood is uh, it's not a kind to people

118
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: of color. You know, the opportunities can't be limited. At

119
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: one time, the only way we can get on TV

120
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: was on the reality show. Why are black dramas seeming

121
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: to seem to be operating now? They seemed to be

122
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: working now because you used to be only able to

123
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: see African Americans in comedy. We're gonna be funny. Ha ha.

124
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: We were funny and nobody would really watch the dramas.

125
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: But that seems to be turning now. Yeah. I think,

126
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: um that that came out of the fact that a

127
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: lot of our dramas has been over sensationalized about who

128
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: we are and about what we are. They seem to

129
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: have been stuck in the space of telling one side

130
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: of our story. Right what you're seeing in Queen Sugar

131
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: is the fullness of our story. So you're seeing the life,

132
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: the loves, um, the struggles, the successes, um. And you're

133
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: also being uh, the truths that are being told through

134
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: the lenses of our daily experiences in a country that

135
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: has a saying we should show pride in our country,

136
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: but sometimes shows us that we aren't valued. So I

137
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: think the thing that you understand what I mean, I

138
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 1: think that the thing that really resonates with our audiences

139
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: is the fact that there is a great authenticity UH

140
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: that is being shared in the storytelling of of this show. UH.

141
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: There's no there's no lying about it. We're not cutting

142
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: around any truths. We've dealt with Black lives matter, We've

143
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: dealt with protests, We've dealt with UH pregnancies, we've dealt

144
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 1: with UH generational wealth, we've dealt with poverty, We've dealt

145
00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: with UM UH industries that are difficult for our folks

146
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: to break into or feel people in. So again, all

147
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: of that speaks to the authenticity of the storytelling. And

148
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: I think that that's what really resonates with our audiences

149
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: is truth. Well resonates with me because I'm a writer,

150
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm a producer, and I know you know, I've done

151
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: sitcom some sister Sister to Jamie Foxx to Parenthood. So

152
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying is that, you know, being

153
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: behind the camera, being the writers. But to my understanding

154
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: that this this the production staff is a female influenced staff. Correct, Yes,

155
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: it's really a um Eva has her vision show us

156
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: to have UH an inclusive set meanings there would be

157
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: women involved, there would be uh, folks of color involved.

158
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, she actually um made it

159
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: a mandate that before anyone could present a department head,

160
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: they would have to present m viable candidates of color

161
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: for those department had positions. Um. And that is not

162
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: normally done in our industry. Um. She also she further

163
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: made it a mandate that, uh, the directors would be

164
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: all female. So every female that we've had for the

165
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: past uh three seasons were in the in the midst

166
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: of our third season. Every single one of them have

167
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: been female, including my own life my wife directed, no

168
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: question and um and really, um say Sally Richards and

171
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: story in ourselves. Man. You know, she's just incredible actress,

172
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, and and has crossed over and it's directing everywhere.

173
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: She's directing every sci fi to comedy to drama. She

174
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: is turning and turning pages out there, man. And I'm

175
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: proud of her. I'm proud of you because y'all live

176
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: that balanced life, man, and I like that. Yeah, you're

177
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: living the life of of of working hard at whatever

178
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: your profession is, but making sure that uh, that you

179
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: preserve your your personal space. I told my wife a

180
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: long time ago, I said, we gotta work just as

181
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: hard at our marriage as we do at our careers. Um,

182
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: because that's how you sustain those people, you know, said

183
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: you know. And I love it because sometimes people will

184
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: come up to me and they would say, hey, you

185
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: and Sali still married, and I'm like, yeah, because they're

186
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: so not used to people in in Hollywood being together,

187
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, for that amount of time. We've been together

188
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: for twenty years. We've been married for fifteen of those.

189
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: So the union of twenty years in our industry is

190
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: like being together for sixty years. Now. The thing I

191
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: love about it, I want to let everybody know that

192
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: listening and some people who may be watching on Facebook

193
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: is his. The beauty of this couple. Um, when it

194
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: comes to charity work, they have time. When we needed

195
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: him on the step Harveary camp, he came and a

196
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: lot of people came and come and lead, or they

197
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: do one session and they go, hey, where's the uber.

198
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: I gotta get out of here. He you had to

199
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: run him off the camp because he was there to

200
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: change lives that we can, you know, Sally, when I

201
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: needed to comfort the Neighborhood Awards because you know, you

202
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: gotta have celebrities of people won't buy tickets, you know,

203
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: she would, I call it the last minute. Sometimes I

204
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: call her head a schedule. She made a point that

205
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: the importance of being there and and and supporting, and

206
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: and and and cherishing and showcasing the talents because it

207
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: really the stars of the show are the people in

208
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: the community. It's not the people who present their awards.

209
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: And she felt that was important. So I love the

210
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: way you guys are fact the community. And that's one

211
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: of the reasons I know you're starting on on you know,

212
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: Queen Sugar, and I'm gonna promote that. And you know

213
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: I have been promoting this, but I was more important

214
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: to me was let people hear you. Man. You're the

215
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: man who had to your passion, your your your career,

216
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: your body of work. You know. And because social media

217
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: plays an important role, because Queen Sugar is one of

218
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: the most popular shows when it airs on social media,

219
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: that's important. And to get your story told correct, what's

220
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: talk about? And I'm gonna tell you the the importance

221
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: of social media. I literally made a postum making a

222
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: great clee to our brother uh Floyd Mayweather. He had

223
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: made a post uh talking about the value of one

224
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: of his watches. It was reportedly eighteen million dollars. And

225
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: and what I did was, I said, you know a

226
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: lot of people were you know, destroying him over the

227
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: fact that you know that that he would invest his

228
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: money UM in what would seem to be such a

229
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: frivolous purchase when there are people that would you know,

230
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: that would obviously um do well in having that money

231
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: assists there uh, their educational aspirations, their career goals, UM,

232
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: the community, all of those things. And I said, you know,

233
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: rather than be one that does the ungodly thing, which

234
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: is to shame someone for some of the things that

235
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: they may have made, I do as a godly man,

236
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: what I try to do is lovingly hold our our

237
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: our folks accountable and to bring certain things to their attention.

238
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: So through a post, because I don't have a contact

239
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: for the brother, just to be honest, UM, I literally

240
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: made a post that I said, my brother, you're from

241
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: Grand Rapids, Michigan. Not far down the road is Flint, Michigan,

242
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: and our community could be resuscitated by that kind of money,

243
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: your wealth could actually revive an entire community. You're talking

244
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: about a hundred thousand people in the city of Flint

245
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: that that are struggling with drinkable water. So I encouraged

246
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: our brother to turn his watch into water. And that's

247
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: what I have tagged watched into water. And a few

248
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: days after that, the mayor of Flint got in touch

249
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: with me to say thank you. Because it feels like

250
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: every single day we're distracted by certain issues. We're distracted

251
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: by the fact that Puerto Rico still isn't being properly addressed.

252
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: We're distracted by the fact that Flint, Michigan, still isn't

253
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: properly being addressed. And it's literally because every single day

254
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: we're bombard bombarded with another news story about a specific

255
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: administration not doing uh the job that they should be

256
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: doing as it pertains to the people that it's supposed

257
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: to be serving. So it's very difficult to stay on topic.

258
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: So she said, I literally wanted to call you myself

259
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: just to say thank you. We were on the phone

260
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: for an hour and a half. And because I am

261
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: a speaker, because I am a restoration agent, because that

262
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: is my purpose work I offered my services. She said,

263
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: I would love to have you come here. I want

264
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: to thank you for coming on my show. Man, Hey,

Speaker 1: know who you are. And I appreciate that because that's

267
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: all I wanted to people understand, is that when you called,

268
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,520

275
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,120

277
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,320

Speaker 1: for a home equity loan. Only I didn't want a nightmare.

00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: Let's say, if you if you want to fly on

462
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: a Falcon you know, I mean Superman class aircraft, you're

463
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: in Houston with our competitors, they're gonna find one that's

464
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: in Houston. If there's not one to safe the nearest

465
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: ones in Dallas, you have to reposition that aircraft to you,

466
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to pay for the reposition costs.

467
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: Where with us being a class specific aircraft aircraft company,

468
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: excuse me, then will find another superman it's in the area,

469
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: save you the repositioning costs, and past that saving on

470
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: to you. That's where our price points or even lower,

471
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: So we can offer a greater value at the lower

472
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: pros point because of just that one fact. That's true

473
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: because a lot of I gotta tell everybody, but I

474
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: want to I want to bring you on my show

475
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: because a lot of people they start talking about private

476
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: that they started talking about, you know, custom suits, they

477
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: think that's out of that price line. They start talking

478
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: about things, you know, private cost so they think that's

479
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: how their price line. Now now you know aircraft, you

480
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: know private aircraft, they really think that's how their price line.

481
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: And I just want to let people know, if you

482
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: do your research, it really isn't like you said, time

483
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: is money. And if you if you're trying to get someplace,

484
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: and you can do a family outing and a group

485
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: of friends y'all can just pull the money together and

486
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: uh and you can rent out this and then to

487
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: come get you to drop you off and it will

488
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: pick you up and can be a round trip and

489
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: it can be a really fun experience. If that's if

490
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: you know, if that's if you want to do a

491
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: bucket list a bucket list trip type thing. So I

492
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: just want to let everybody know, Anthony, that you know,

493
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: stop thinking that you can't afford something. Just just do

494
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: your research and come to a company like yours, because

495
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: you guys are willing to work with people to educate

496
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: them so they can use your services. Correct Again, that's

497
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,240

00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,920

579
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I appreciate it really well. I'm gonna

580
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: tell you some Let's get to this book, man. I

581
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: want to read a quote from this book. I read

582
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: the book, and uh, I always I always find a

583
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: certain value system when I read about people, right, stories,

584
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: especially stories. Your book is as a personal journey about

585
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: growing up without a father, and unfortunately that's very um

586
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: that's not nothing unusual, especially in the African American community.

587
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: And why was it important to tell your story to

588
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: us well for that exact reason what you just said

589
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: is that we've we've normalized that, um, you know, the

590
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: fatherless household in our community, and we have to we

591
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: have to evolve, We have to. I want to to

592
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: write them a book about my story, share my story

593
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: that hopefully it could be used as a tool of inspiration,

594
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: so that we changed the narrative on that so that

595
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: these young brothers coming up, you know, look at that

596
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: like it's not cool, you know, like we're in the

597
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: bober shop, we all friends, and one of us know,

598
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, not handling the responsibilities as a father. Then

599
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: you lane now you know, and you get back on track.

600
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,479
Speaker 1: Though you always have the power of choice at your

601
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: disposal to to get back on track. So that's really

602
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: where it came from. Man, just trying to help shift

603
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: that narrative. And it's important because the song that you

604
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: mentioned by the incredible Tupox Brender's Got a Baby. I

605
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: remember that book movie That song came out back in

606
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: ninety two two time frame. It was such a powerful song,

607
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: uh and it still resonates today. And you mentioned that,

608
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: and I want to allow you to speak on what

609
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: you felt though was his goal was when he uh

610
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: produced a song and put it out and then you

611
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: thought that nobody listened because you brought that up in

612
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: your book, and because the book the song was an

613
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: incredible song that we Brenda's Got a Baby by two

614
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: Poor Corps. It's a it's a song about a young lady. Oh,

615
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: of course gets pregnant too early, and uh what happens

616
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: all too often, not only just in the African Americans,

617
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: just in some communities in general. But in this case,

618
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: we're talking about the African American community. And you mentioned

619
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: that in the book. So explain to us why did

620
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: you mentioned it in the book. Well, because you know,

621
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: for that particular song, I was I was bad from

622
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: this inception. Um. We were on the set of Juice

623
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: one day and one morning in two pocket read the

624
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: you know, the daily paper, and it was I'm from

625
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: New York. So we were in New York and from

626
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: and a woman had thrown a baby in the trash.

627
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: And he was just so so affected by that. And

628
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: at the time, I'm like, man, read about stuff like

629
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: that all the time out here, and he was just

630
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: so affected by that. And by lunchtime he said, oh,

631
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: coming to trailer. So I went in to trailer and

632
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 1: he starts, you know, wrapping these verses to me, and

633
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: I'm listening. I'm like, man, that's you know, that's deep,

634
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: but I'm not knowing what it is. And then two

635
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: months later, you know, his I heard Brenda's Got a

636
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: Baby for the first thing. As soon as I heard

637
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: the song, I said, oh, that's the that's the joint.

638
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: So I went back to that exact moment, and I

639
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: just thought it was so profound to see that his

640
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: his uh, his his artistic process in that way musically,

641
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: like wow, he really took a real life event and

642
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: shifted it into a greater story. And he was really

643
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: trying to spark spark mind, you know. And so that's

644
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: why that that, that's why I mentioned that in the book,

645
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: because I was a profound moment for me, well, to

646
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: say the least. Now, on the phone with Omar Epps

647
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: his book from Fatherless to Fatherhood. There in the back

648
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: of the book, it was a verse that I want

649
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: to say that I felt was really important to say

650
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: doing this interview, and he reached like this, this is

651
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: from your book, Omar, to all those fathers who have

652
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: fallen off, you don't have to you don't have the

653
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: luxury of catching amnesia just because your relationship with the

654
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: mother of your child didn't work. That woman is the

655
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: mother of your child, period. Why would you even try

656
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: to turn a kid against her. Plus, when it's all

657
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: said and done, neither of you wins, only your child

658
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: will lose. Wow. You know, yeah, I mean that's real, man.

659
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: You know, I try to I try to, uh speak

660
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: on different scenarios, right, Like, you know, a lot of

661
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: things happen. Sometimes things don't happen in a traditional way. Uh.

662
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: You know, you can have a child out of wedline.

663
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: You could be married, the relationship dissolved. You might just

664
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: be bortrained girl, whatever the scenario is. At the end

665
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, once you once to people

666
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: make a commitment to have a child, um, and they

667
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: have to put that child. They're making a lifelong commitment

668
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: to each other, regardless of what happens, you know, in

669
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 1: their love relationship, you know, in terms of intimacy, regardless

670
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: that dissolves, they still have a lifelong commitment you know,

671
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: to this child and to each other. So you know,

672
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: it's just trying to drop jews for the young brothers

673
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: to think about that before they make certain moves and

674
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: when they may those moons. To keep that in mind,

675
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: because I get it. It's hard, you know. And I

676
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: even try to speak to um women in the book

677
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: in in some the same ways. You know, there's a

678
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: lot of emotional things can happen. There's a lot of

679
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, this book is full of quote. I'm on

680
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: the phone with all my apps in this book from

681
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: Fatherless to Fatherhood. You can get that Bonds and Noble,

682
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: Amazon dot com, you know, and you should get this book.

683
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: And uh, it's a. It's a because the problem I

684
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: always have with with books because you know, women buy books.

685
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: Women will buy books. Men, on the other hand, who

686
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: need to be reading this book. I don't think I

687
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: need to read that, and I would let's change that

688
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: because it's something you should read because of the fact

689
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: that it's a good it's good read for me. And

690
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: I feel I'm a good father. But you know, I'm

691
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: like you. I'm in the business, so I know what

692
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Sometimes I was living in New York.

693
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: Sometimes I raised my daughter over the phone. I got

694
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: some I got some baby talk on my leave voice

695
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: messages that I'm gonna give it to her one day.

696
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: And you're gonna probably make her cry when she was

697
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: just talking and leave messages on my She's never just know.

698
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: I got my thirty of those when you hate daddy,

699
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: my daddy, you know, all through it's like one through

700
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: one through five of her just leaving messages on my phone.

701
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: I was able to capture them and put them on CD.

702
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them to him one day because I

703
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: know what you're saying is that you know, it's important

704
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: to try to be your father. More important, it's important

705
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: to try to be a father who's responsible to the

706
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: to the activity of giving your child the advice, the

707
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: guidance because there's so many things special with social media.

708
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about, Alma. You know you

709
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: you're you're, you're, you're, you're superstar dude. You you know,

710
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: you're celebrit recognizable talent. You on television all the time,

711
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: your movies all the time, and so your children are

712
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: impacted by that, and so that means that you have

713
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: the guide them. Like you said, like you said, your

714
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 1: older daughter knew knew you want the doctor on the house.

715
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: You're the kid they just over They're just looking at

716
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: Danny TV, Daddy l TV, you know, so so it

717
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: really when you start breaking down your life, you have

718
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: to understand that the value of the way you're a

719
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: truck driver, work for ups, all your cook all of

720
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: it comes back to being a father who has time

721
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: for their child, right then father who makes time. And

722
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: I think one of the you know, I know, for me, uh,

723
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: the biggest uh, one of the biggest things my mother

724
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: instilled to me from a young age was a sense

725
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: of self worth. And I think that you know, as parents,

726
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: that's one of the biggest things we can instill in

727
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: our children is that they are worthy um. Because when

728
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: when the child grows up with that sense um, a

729
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: lot of the peer pressures and the environmental things, they're

730
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: less likely to partake in those things because they they

731
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: feel worth, They feel worthy, they feel love, that they

732
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: belong to a a familiar tribe that you know, that

733
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: they have a work end um. A lot of these

734
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: kids that go wayward, and it's a lot of different reasons,

735
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, but I'm just trying to go to the

736
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: root of it. A lot of these kids don't feel valued. No,

737
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: I feel worthy. They feel like, well, you know, it

738
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: don't matter if I ain't here tomorrow because don't nobody care,

739
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, and and and so you know again going

740
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: back to that active piece. You know, that's it's that's

741
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: the most important thing. It's deep, man, it's really deep.

742
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: I want to do one more quote from your book

743
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: far before we end this conversation about your book, From

744
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: Fatherless to Fatherhood, written by all my help, the comic

745
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: comedic genius Chris Rock made a profound statement about fatherhood

746
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: doing one of his performances. He said, whenever our father

747
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: boast about taking care of his kids, people response should be,

748
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: you're supposed to take care of your kids, right right.

749
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'll tell you, Omar. I've been reading

750
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: this book for I'm telling you, man, you're messing women. Man,

751
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: you're messing women allmar. But if you look at that,

752
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: you know it's it's just the truth. But we have

753
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: gone to so many generations of having fatherless households that

754
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: it's normalized. So now of it you have, you know,

755
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: people who are stepping up to the their their fatherly duties.

756
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, they want that extra pat on the back.

757
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: And let me and let me just say this too.

758
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: You know, within the African American community, we have made

759
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: incredible strides to the issues of family and things of

760
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: that nature. But and a lot of times, you know,

761
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: you hear people want to throw up certain statistics, and

762
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: it's that any other statistics are relative to whoever you're

763
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: poland one. But two, you know I'm in them treats,

764
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: and and that that cycle of fatherlessness is still an

765
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: epidemic in our community. So we just gotta be real

766
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 1: about what's real. And um so that you know, even

767
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: though I say that in the book, you know, using

768
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: that that that Chris Rock joke, which I thought was

769
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: just great, you know, I understand at the same time

770
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: why you know a man would want that credit so

771
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: many generations. And so it's like, yeah, they're trying to

772
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: and they bring in so absolute those brothers as well,

773
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: because you're breaking the cycle. With end of the day,

774
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: it's about breaking the cycles. He's a writer, he's a producer, entrepreneur,

Speaker 1: more from Marsan McDonald and Money Making conversations. Don't touch

780
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: that down. When I was an FBI agent, I was

781
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: aware of home title fraud. There was little we could

782
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: do to stop it. Now there's home title lock. This

783
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: online bank was for closing on us. They even had

784
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: documents that I signed for a home equity loan. Only

785
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 1: I didn't want a nightmare. I didn't have home title

786
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: lock then, but you bet I haven't. Now. Your home's

787
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,959

788
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,360

857
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,200

858
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: saying well, when I was a little girl, I was

859
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,640

860
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: when I started reading comic books. So I loved comic

861
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,839

Speaker 1: coming out of Gossip Girl and on Fringe. When UM,

867
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,440

868
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: we got this comic book that's about teens, but it's

869
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 1: still I FI and you just came off of a

870
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,359

Speaker 1: was like, that's an entry, you know I wanted, like

873
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: why not? You know, it's the thing I loved as

874
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: a kid. So I knew I couldn't do it full

875
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: times and it doesn't say it enough money, but I

876
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: knew that it would really know, I knew that it

877
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: would fulfill me creatively. So I loved it. I hope

878
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: to go back to it, you know, I really do.

879
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: I just got so busy, but I really hope to

880
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: go back to and even create my own comic books.

881
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,400

882
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: into a TV show, you know, under my newsbox deal.

883
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,640

Speaker 1: a punisher, I'm like, yep, I love this. You know.

885
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:59,200

894
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: beauty of this, This is why I love about you

895
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: is that people always tell me Richard, you have reinvented

896
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: yourself so many times, and sometimes I just do it automatically,

897
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,280
Speaker 1: and I don't like, I'm reinvented myself right now, hosting

899
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,919

900
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: what you and I know that people say what is

901
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: your secret. I'm like, you can't be afraid of change,

902
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: or you can be afraid, but you must act despite

903
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: your fear. She didn't you always have a feel, you know, like,

904

905
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: you'll just sit and wait past the moment that you

906
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: should have made a change. This is this is why

907
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,919

Speaker 1: Sarah on family matters. Correct. I met Sarah on family

937
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,200

938
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 1: were they were writing partners at the time. But Sarah

939
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: mentored me my whole comedy career, and even when I

940
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: transitioned to drama. You know, um, she continued to mentor

941
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: me because she's the normal one and I'm the hothead.

942
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: So she's always been able to talk to me off

943
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: the ledgend when I got the opportunity, because she always

944
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: wanted to transition to drama. So when I did a

945
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: single Ladies for b Et, I, I called her and

946
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, you're ready to do drama. And it's

947
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: such a pleasure, you know, when you can work with

948
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: your friends, Rashan as you know, there's no more joy

949
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: than working with your friends. And so we did that

950
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: together and then she did the Quad with me as well.

951
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,920

00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: T so she um, she's a drama writer now. But

953
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,280
Speaker 1: without that woman, I don't know where I'll be because

Speaker 1: she really taught me calm your ass down, mar Brock, Yes, yeah,

957
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: young lady has has really uh made an impact because

958
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: she she cares so much about everything. But the thing

959
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: about it, when I talked to Felicia, like, she don't

960
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 1: she's just slid right past j. J Abrams though, Yeah,

961
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:30,040
