63
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: talk about that, because I went to the website and

64
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: and I can cook. You know, I'm not a Bobby

65
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: Brown cook, but I can cook. Okay, I don't have

66
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: my season and I don't have my sus Bobby bait,

67
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: but I can cook. At least I don't have that either.

68
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. My wife thinks she my

69
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: wife thinks she can cook better than me. But that's

70
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: another story now in our house. Actually, Bobby, Bobby definitely

71
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: hands down can cook. Um. You know, I got some

72
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: a few traits up your sleep now. I'll tell you

73
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: that this this brand was developed off of Bobby's homemade

74
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: sauces and and his you know seasonings how he combines them,

75
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: and his perfectly perfectly fried chicken, and so you know,

76
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: just with his creation and my business mind, we thought,

77
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, we got to bottle this up and sell it.

78
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: We know what I loved about was the Bobby brown bag.

79
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: It in friedns. Yeah, brown bagging it is what we

80
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: call it. And it's just like a new school shaking bag.

81
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah you know right. So the crazy thing is watching

82
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: Bobby fly some chicken is pretty masterful. He uh just

83
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: puts the right amount of mixture with the seasoning. And

84
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you he he says, one of his uh,

85
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: one of his tricks is you know, making sure that

86
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: oil is exactly the right temperature. But when that chicken

87
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: it comes out rashwan. It is so light, crispy, the

88
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: right crunch, right seasoning, and I mean never greasy. So

89
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, for someone like me who

90
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: does not really know how to fry many things, I

91
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: just you know, I don't do a lot of flying. Um.

92
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: I wanted to learn and I remembered back in the

93
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: day the shaking bake and how was that created? So

94
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: that's how the brown bag and it came about how

95
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: to show someone like myself and many others how to fry. Um.

96
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Your food's really light and easy and it's it all

97
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: comes together. It's the bag. You can drop your your

98
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: meat or your choice of fish or whatever, and you

99
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: put the seasonings in there. That's our He comes in

100
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: the packet, shaking up and drop it. It's as easy

101
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: as that. I'm gonna tell you something. When I saw

102
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: that on the website, I go, this is brilliant, you know,

103
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you because if you go to the

104
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: website and you see the recipes he has on that,

105
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I kept going, Okay, what else? Because that's what because

106
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: that's what really hurts people in cooking, you know. And

107
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: and we're the society of now where people are you

108
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: know there there there they do it yourself first. And

109
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: so so when I saw the chicken recipe, just throw

110
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the chicken in there, and I said, when the chicken

111
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: floats to the top, it's done. People don't even know that,

112
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: right I read the website. Now your part was doing

113
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: this research, not going I didn't know that when to

114
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: the top it's done. So Bobby, you do that, huh.

115
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: You have to let it float. When it floats, and

116
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: you know it's cooked all the way through that. Um,

117
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be greasy because the grease is gone

118
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: be out of the chicken by time do you put

119
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: it in your mouth? Wow? Wow, Wow, here's here's a

120

00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: just finalizing bottling some of our marinades and dressings which

132
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: were super excited about. We have a three and one

133
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: sauce that you can use as either a marinade, a dressing,

134
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: or a dipping sauce. And you know, we're just just

135
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: geared up and we can't wait until you know, we

136
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: are just stocked all the shelves with everything that you

137
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: know our family likes to eat. We we really are

138
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: conscious about putting things in our body that are healthy

139
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: obviously for our children and ourselves and um, and still

140
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: have a lot of great flavor. You know, that's the

141
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: thing that we're trying to blend together. So well, that's

142
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: important too because the fact that this is a brand

143
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: and the reason I really like it. I always talk

144
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: about the power couple because it allows us to understand

145
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: that there is you win. You win both ways. You know,

146
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: you gotta have the white point of view and the

147
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: and the husband point of the male point of view

148
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: or the female point of view, and it has to

149
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: be a partnership because you can't win with some one

150
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: side feeling that this is I should be done and

151
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: other side I said, this is I wanted to be done.

152
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: You have to win with a joint thought. That's why

153
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: when I talked about the Brown and Baggatt, you know,

154
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,280

Speaker 1: the Bobby Brown story, Bobby, I want you to respond,

180
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: and then at least as a producer, I want you

181
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: to respond, Bobby, why was it important to tell that story? Um?

182
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: I think It was important because I don't want anybody

183
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: else to be able to tell what I lived. Um,

184
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: and I wanted I wanted the story to be told right.

185
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: I wanted the story to be the truth, um, and

186
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: not something that somebody makes up or something somebody rant

187
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: in a in a newspaper. So it came from my

188
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: heart too, the screen basically. And um, we had a

189
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: great writer with us Abdu and a great executive producer

190
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: who is you know, one of my good friends, um,

191
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: Jesse Collins. And UM, it was just it was just

192
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: important to get out there a Lisa as a producer.

193
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: M hm. Was it important to make sure it's stayed

194
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: on track, that it didn't get out of hand, and

195
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: make sure the story was authentic? Oh? Number one, it

196
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: had to be authentic. Um. Obviously it being personal to

197
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: my heart because it's my husband's story. But more importantly,

198
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: when you put out any story, whoever story you're going

199
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: to tell or you're gonna be part of, uh, you know,

200
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: putting the story out there, you wanted to be authentic.

201
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: That's where people respect you. You know, Um, this is

202
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: a real man and his life and and and you know,

203
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: it was such a privilege that he's with us because

204
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: there's so many wonderful stories that people are fighting over

205
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: to tell of people that have already passed. And I think, um,

206
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, we had such an advantage that you're going

207
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: to hear his voice all the way through it. It's

208
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: not someone else who knew him. His voice, you know,

209
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: it's his along with again the beautiful team that we

210
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: had together that Bobby was speaking. But number one, authenticity

211
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,640

Speaker 1: you're trying to do. And then the Travel Show give it,

308
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: give us a little bit more detail on that travel show.

309
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: That really interests me. Where they traveling. Is it all

310
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: state side when I say stateside in the United States?

311
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: Or they just where are they going? Well, this is

312
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: this is the great thing about the Travel Show. Let's

313
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: the sign is speaking of Shan. The great thing about

314
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: the Travel Show is that we're gonna take you all over.

315
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: We'll take you off the beaten pass on the East coast,

316
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: the West coast, but that are culturally authentic to us. Um.

317
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: You know, that's the great gallery, the great person that's

318
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: out there designing UM. But you can't do a show

319
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: and and help and lift through the lens of our

320
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: eyes without going to the Motherland. So we are going

321
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: to go to Africa. We are going to you know,

322
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: highlight some of the great things about our people, um

323
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: uh museum, just cultural things that make us who we are.

324
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: So we are going to head to Africa and we're

325
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: also going to tap into the Caribbean because when you

326
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: start looking at thanks full circle, it just seems like

327
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: the Caribbean and Africa are natural places to go, but

328
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: everybody can't just hop a plane and go there. So

329
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: we're gonna also places and the continent the US that

330
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: you need to go to people, you need to see people.

331
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: But what you're doing people that you need to support

332
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: and you know, just help uplift each other, you know,

333
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: And so that's that's very important. And so it's called

334
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: lens of culture, and you will be getting a bird's

335
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: eye view of our culture through the lens of these

336
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: two awesome posts that are gonna take you two places

337
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: off the beaten path. Now some places will be on

338
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: the beaten path, but things that you didn't know you

339
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: didn't know. Maybe perhaps that UM a gallery that you

340
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: know we hear about all the time, was founded and

341
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: owned and operated by the African American. So we're diving

342
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: deep into the backgrounds of these travel locations just to

343
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: make sure when you do hit the road with your

344
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: family on that family union or hit the road on

345
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: a business trip, take to take two minutes out to

346
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: go out and um learn a little bit about yourself

347
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: and support that person that's out there grinding as we are.

348
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: See they can pitch. That's the key. They can they

349
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: can pitch. You know, one get tired up and just

350
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: pick up to start talking. That's what you know what

351
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: we were joking. We don't weays say we're the ying

352
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: and the Yang because sometimes you know, when when Rochelle's

353
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: going hard and I'm like, oh lord, Rochelle, I don't

354
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: know if I can talk, and no good one I can.

355
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: But and then she she can pick up, and you know,

356
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: we sort of we kind of know when to go

357
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: and when the stop when to go and you know,

358
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: but you know what, we've been in business for sixteen

359
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: seventeen years together, so and we've been we were friends

360
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: before that. So I think one of the things that

361
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: make us unique as they have black owned company, is

362
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: that we kind of get each other. You know, we

363
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: spend more time with each other than we sometimes spend

364
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: with our husbands and our family. So we are we

365
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: are the Yang and the Yang. That's the beautiest relationship.

366
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: Relationship work for a reason, and because you have different

367
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: personalities and you trust each other, the ideas just flow.

368
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: I know for a fact, because I sat down with them,

369
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: I sat down with him and was just in awe

370
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: of them because I know how difficult it is to

371
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: pitch a TV show. It is. It is difficult. It's

372
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: difficult to convince a network that your idea is original,

373
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna stay on for more than one episode because

374
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: they're about to invest money into you. And the fact

375
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: that they are the production company for TV wants new network, Cleo,

376
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: come on, Brown Girls, Black Girl Magic, you know it?

377
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: You know it, hey, because it's because it's really, you know,

378
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: one of the crazy one of the crazy things is

379
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: and you know, we talked about the pitching, but let's

380
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: let's be honest. It's all about relationships as well. You know.

381
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: So if we didn't have a good relationship when TV

382
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: one kicked off sixteen seventeen years ago, we wouldn't be

383
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: the the production team that was canceled. So it's all

384
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: about the stopped there, stop there, Richean, I know Afford

385

408
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: thing I'm not gonna do on this show is let

409
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: people think that the chief success is easy. To achieve

410
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: consistency in business, it's hard. And the fact that you

411
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: guys have know how you know, there's a lot of

412
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,560

415
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: this business. That lets me know that even if I

416
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: said down one time with what nephew tom me, it

417
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: didn't work out, not because it just didn't work out,

418
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: but that didn't stop them. They just went on. They

419
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: went on. The little whisper went on someplace. That whispering

420
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: is somebody else's there. But that's what they don't The

421
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,439

00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: better way to check in on our house while I

460
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: was at work, and a friend recommended Blank. I was skeptical,

461
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: but decided to give it a shot, and I bought

462
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: a Blink camera system. With our last security system, false alarms,

463
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: wires everywhere, and monthly fees, we couldn't get out of

464
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: my bad But our Blink system is different. Their motion

465
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: activated cameras that work inside and outside their wire, free,

466
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: easy to set up, and they run on two lithium

467
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: batteries that last up to two years. Total peace of mind.

468
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: And Blink camera system started under eighty bucks with no subscriptions.

469
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: We were on vacation and I gotten to learn of

00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: my smartphone that motion was detected at our front door.

471
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,000

Speaker 1: influential to me, which let me to be where I

593
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: am now. You know, so exactly EXAC and that's very important.

594
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: So let's talk about But I think like about the

595
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: shows that they're all are different. They are they all

596
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: bring out a different talent of yours. They allow you

597
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: to be a different personalities. That by is that you know,

598
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: we're all just trying to work, but unfortunately, fortunately for

599
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: you it's worked out that way. Tell me about the

600
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, grown Ish your role on that and because

601
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: I don't ever assume that everybody knows everybody, so let's

602
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: talk about the ABC show where you are nominated for

603
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: Outstanding Supporting Actor in the Comedy Series. Yeah. Absolutely black.

604
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: This is a a show that was very necessary. Um uh.

605
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: It catapulted this movement which is going on right now

606
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: with a lot of black actors actresses on television right now,

607
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: where there wasn't a lot of black shows on the

608
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: air at the time. And then when when Black Is

609
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: came out and people see how well it did, I

610
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: think it's like help catapults of the networks to be like, man,

611
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: we need a black show. But the difference of the

612
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: shows now, you know, it's no, it's no longer like

613
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: just a black face on a show or black faces

614
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: to make up a black show. What we did was

615
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: we became a black voice, which is way more important.

616
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: And so as we became that open doors for other

617
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: black voices, shows that had black voices that spoke to

618
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: how we feel in America, what we're going through whatever.

619
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: And then it was very and it was like we

620
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: didn't know the magnitude of what was gonna go on.

621
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: We just we had something special, but we didn't know

622
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 1: the magnitude. And when when it resonated with the people,

623
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: we were so excited to uphold the torch and keep

624
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: going with it. You know, Black It's very important show, uh,

625
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: to this day, I think it's relevant to all races

626
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: to be a blueprint to what's going on right now.

627
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: So being a part of that movement has been life changing,

628
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: um and always would be indebted to you know, Kenya Barris,

629
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: Anthony Anderson as well. You know. So uh, it's a

630
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: great show. Grown She's a spin off of that whether

631
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: teenage girl Yarra. She goes out to go to college

632
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: and lives her life of virus being Grown. You know,

633
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: I played Charlie Telfy on both shows, which is a

634
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: co worker Anthony's in the office, and and then on Grownish,

635
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: I became dean a students over there and being an

636
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: adjunct professor. But you know, it all works out. One

637
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: thing about my career, anything I ever auditioned for, I

638
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: never got nothing, nothing at all, anything that you Blackish Conan.

639
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: Conan hired me just out of the clear blue. I

640
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: thought I got off stage. He hired me Blackish. I

641
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: was a woman by the name of Timer, Goins told

642
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: Kenya innovative artist. Yeah, Timer, my girl. She told Kenya.

643
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: Kenya was looking for a writer. So Kenya, hey, we

644
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: should you should try to get Dione Cole and I

645
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: went over there to interview with Kenyan to be a writer.

646
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: And the person I was supposed to show up to

647
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: play the character that I played, Charlie, didn't show up,

648
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: and so he asked me to play that character. Anything

649
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: I ever got I never auditioned for. Because the things

650
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: that people look at when they're like writing stuff and

651
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: putting stuff together, they look at a certain type. If

652
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: you're a different kind of person, they can't they can't.

653
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: They can't think of you and put you in there

654
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 1: just something that they didn't think of. So therefore, why

655
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: would they choose you for the product project? You get

656
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because you don't fit what they thought

657
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: definitely though your voice, you know you're the exactly exactly.

658
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: So so if if I'm if I'm never gonna be

659
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: what anybody intends for me to be, then they're not

660
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: gonna pick me. But some people are going to be

661
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: smart enough to go. You know, I've never seen the

662
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: likes of such of this person. I'm gonna take a

663
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: chance on them because this person is talented, unique and

664
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: those that have done that, we have done magic together,

665
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: which is like Conan and Steve Correll and can your

666
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: Barriss like you, you can find them, Yo, I want this.

667
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's the way people the way people

668
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: like cast people and stuff like that. I think they

669
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: just it's kind of like shopping in a sense. You

670
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: might you have a brown suit and you're looking for

671
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: some brown shoes. That's you're in the mall looking for

672
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: some brown shoes and you can't find them. But you

673
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: see these green shoes that amazing, but they don't go

674
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: with your brown suit. But you see them, and you're like,

675
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: why you're gonna go Still, You're still gonna go get

676
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: them brown shoes with the green shoes gonna be on

677
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: your mind. You might even come back and get them

678
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: green shoes and then get an outfit to go at

679
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: them green shoes. That don't mean them green shoes ain't amazing.

680
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: They just didn't go with that outfit. And so that's

681
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: how that's that's how I always look at how I

682
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: am when they're coming a bit come to the business,

683
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 1: and how I've always been like schosen to do things

684
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: like And that's how a lot of people should look

685
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: at it. Don't ever look at it like you're not

686
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: worthy enough. You just didn't go at that outfit. But

687
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna come back for you if they if they

688
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: want you, they're gonna come back for you. And they

689
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: did that with me several times. So I've never got

690
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: nothing out to audition for nothing. Well, my man, I'm

691

701
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: thank you for coming on my show. The money making

702
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: conversation is to show for the people because I gave

703
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: me information they want to know about from John McDonald

704
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: and money making conversations don't touch that down. I was

705
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: looking for a better way to check in on our

706
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,959
Speaker 1: house while I was at work, and a friend recommended Blink.

707
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: I was skeptical, but decided to give it a shot,

708
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: and I bought a Blink camera system. With our last

709
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: security system, false alarms, wires everywhere, and monthly fees, we

710
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: couldn't get out of my bad But our Blink system

711
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: is different. Their motion activated cameras that work inside and outside,

712
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: their wire free, easy to set up, and they run

713
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: on two lithium batteries that last up to two years. Total.

714
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,959
Speaker 1: Piece of mind and Blink camera system started under eighty

715
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: bucks with no subscriptions. We were on vacation and I

716
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: gotten to learn of my smartphone that motion was detected

717
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: at our front door or I checked my Blink app

718
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: and I saw it was just my cool new device

719
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: being delivered. Hey, we agreed no new devices except Blink.

720
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 1: Just kidding, not kidding. With Blink camera systems starting under

721
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,280

725
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: story where burglars were asked how they broke into homes

726
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: and the one thing every burglar did first was knock

727
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: on the door and if no one answered, they broke in.

728
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: That's what sold me on my new Blink x T

729

Speaker 1: always home. Blink cameras or wire free set up in
