It's such a thing. It's 124 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: the thing that we talk about so much. It's a 125 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: thing that you know, we focus on so much because 126 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: we want better as our kids come and as they 127 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: grow up. And I think a lot of fifty cent shows, 128 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: even though they're wrapped up in all of the things 129 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: and the variables, it gives that and I think that 130 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,799 Speaker 1: that's why so many so much audience correlates in response 131 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: to it. 132 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: The way that they do. It invokes emotion, whether you 133 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 2: love it or not. 134 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: So amazing to see that go down. Congratulations to them. 135 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: I think one of the biggest things you know to 136 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: think about when it comes to this is the expansion, 137 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: and like how it will open up the show to 138 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: so many people who were not able to just watch 139 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: it on Stars. I think about shows like Girlfriends, right 140 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: who in September twenty twenty, they got the whole Girlfriend's 141 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: show the Catalog with Tracy Ellis Ross and Golden and 142 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: Jill Marie Jones, and you know, like that came to 143 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: Netflix and there was a whole generation of young black 144 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: people and black women who were able to watch this 145 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: show and again find their overarching themes that they related 146 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: to and the storylines that they needed to get through 147 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: certain things. And I remember being home with my mom 148 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: during this time, because you know, around that time is 149 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: when everything you know, kicked off with her cancer battle. 150 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: And I remember we just would sit and watch the 151 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: shows and watch the episodes as if they were new 152 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: on Netflix. And it caused so much conversation between me 153 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: and my mom that when I was younger watching Girlfriends, 154 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: we weren't having those conversations. I'm a one Mama didn't 155 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: even look at me as like a real person. I 156 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: was just her baby and I was a child, and 157 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: I didn't look at her as a real person. She 158 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: was my mom and I didn't understand that she also 159 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: had a life and that, you know, some of the 160 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: mistakes I would move on to later understand we're just 161 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: mistakes and her trying to do her best. I didn't 162 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: understand them. But me being able to revisit that show 163 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: at a different time period in my life, it changed 164 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: the way that we were able to talk to each other. 165 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: And I know, you know, you have The Parkers on 166 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: Netflix now and you have Insecure rays Insecure on Netflix 167 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: as well. Same thing I remember going back and watching 168 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: Insecure Moesha, going back and watching Moesha and just the 169 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: conversations it sparked, even if not in my household, but 170 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: just in the community.

One of my biggest things with marriage 356 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: is I always tell myself that in my marriage, I 357 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: want to be able to still enjoy myself and I 358 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: really want to be like real life friends with my partner, like. 359 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 2: In a real way. 360 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: Like I think marriage is a thing where like the 361 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: wedding and the ceremony can be so beautiful and the 362 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: pictures and you have all these things, but there are 363 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: a lot of marriages where like the foundation is like 364 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: so the complete opposite and the people who I listen 365 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: to and not even like listen to in a way 366 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: of like every marriage is going to be different, like 367 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: so not per se, like you know, you try to 368 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: like mimic a marriage because you don't know. But I 369 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: do love talking to married people about being married, like 370 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: I really do, because for me, it's like I'm hearing 371 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: and learning in real time tools that it takes to 372 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: survive the fact that, like you're not the same person 373 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: when you get married as you are two years into 374 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: the marriage. 375 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 2: One year is dank. Six months into the marriage. 376 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 1: You know, things change, babies, you know, even if you've 377 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: got a baby at the time of marriage, your baby 378 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: gets older. Think work changes, your body's change. Like, so 379 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: I think that at the core of that there has 380 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: to be something very real. And everyone that I've spoken 381 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: to has always said friendship and communication and relearning each 382 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,959 Speaker 1: other like never It's gonna sound so cliche, but like 383 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: never stopping, like you never stop like dating each other 384 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: in a way. And I think, to me, I hear, 385 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: real foundation is friendship. Communication. There's a lot that come 386 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: with that, like honesty, hard conversations, knowing that this is 387 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: your person you're gonna have your best of your times with. 388 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: Just there's a lot of ups and downs that come 389 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: with that. But friendship, like I think the friendship is 390 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: really it goes without saying that, like a friendship at 391 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: the core of a marriage. And God, let me not 392 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: forget that too, because that's the other thing too that 393 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people tell me, like having their religion 394 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: and their faith be the center of it along with 395 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: the communication and the friendship. Could it just there's a 396 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: deeper meaning to Marris and just you know, we're signing 397 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: paperwork and now what's yours is mine? 398 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 2: And the business of it. 399 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: You know, there are contracts that you sign, people do prenups, 400 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: you know, there's marriage licenses, Like there's paperwork to this, 401 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: But the deeper substance of it in the way that 402 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: you guys are equally yoped and the way that your 403 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: lives change when that union becomes one. I think it's 404 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: a testament to like where the relationship like starts. And 405 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: maybe it's not situational right of how it starts. Maybe 406 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: it's you know, where it starts in terms of like 407 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: how you guys build through whatever those situations are that 408 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: start the relationship. Like I don't know, I just have 409 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: loved watching them get married.
