53
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: You know, I've always for opportunities to help you, because

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: I know, without asking, you will always look for an

55
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to help me. I asked that because we had

56
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: to go back BT. You know, you say, uh, sitting

57
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: in the room trying to figure out how we're gonna

58
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: work together. You meet Steve Harvey and that's how we

59
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: did celebration of gospel the last thirteen years. That was

60
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: a vision that you saw and you know, we wasn't

61
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: sure because we was coming off of that, you know,

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: cussing comedian, you know, uh, kids of comedy, you know,

63
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: deaf comedy jam. But that didn't bother you. You saw

64
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: beyond that and really lay the lay the groundwork for

65
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey. I've seen ourselves in a different life. How

66
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: did you? But that was that was a decision that

67
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: you had to make. And I would say somewhat risky

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: because people going Steve Harvey at the comedian that cous

69
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: a lot. But you saw we're gonna Postevin hosts a

70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: popular gospel show. Well, I just saw Steve as each

71
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: I am talent. You know What's what the whole world

72
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: is saying now. I saw from the beginning and he

73
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: has a big difference in terms of there's time of

74
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: two types of people in Hollywood. There's heat seekers and

75
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: there's talent seekers. Right now, if you are a talent seeker,

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if someone has been put on or not.

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: You go, this person is gifted and boy, can I

78
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: be lucky enough to work with that talented person? Or

79
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: oh you know, you can say, oh, that person, he's over,

80
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: he's not hot anymore. You go no, no, no, no,

81
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: that person is talented. And I believe of a talent,

82
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: whether it's been proven to the public or if the

83
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: public may think their moments over. If you spot talent,

84
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: then you invest. Now. If you can't feel spot taste talent,

85
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: if don't, if you don't have that sensibility, you have

86
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: to go with heat right right right, you know, otherwise

87
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: you can't even say it either. Well that's what's hot

88
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: right now, and you change hot. And I understand stand

89
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: people who that's all they can do. But I've been

90
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: blessed to be able to recognize talent. And when you

91
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: recognize talent, you can get there first. Come on now,

92
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: when I think that we yeah, that's a nice transition

93
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: to showtime at apobum. Man, I saw you on LinkedIn.

94
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: You were smiling, say we're back, We're back. I looked

95
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: at this show, man, and you you put your stamp

96
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: on it. Man, you put your stamp, your brand on it.

97
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's it feels exciting, it feels like the

98
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: original show. So what was your vision about the show?

99
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: You know, we got Steve Harving the biggest talent in

100
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: the universe right now, especially a TV media, And then

101
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: you have a brand that we know about. It has

102
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: been altered, a little bit chopped up, some people have

103
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: changed some stuff. What made you say this can work? Well?

104
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: First of all, this show Timothy Apollo, all these talent

105
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: shows don't exist without standing on the show to the

106
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: show Timothy Apology. That was the first. It was the best.

107
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's U can't I mean, like, come on,

108
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: this is this is this is Adam, this is the

109
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: this is the d n A. And I've talked to

110
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: people who worked on those other shows, and believe me,

111
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: the producers of those other shows referenced the Apollo all

112
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: the time. They say, well, you're the Apologist this way.

113
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: You know, we need to do it like this because

114
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: that's how the Apollo did it. So don't be fooled

115
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: the aose. Other people know what they're doing. They are

116
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: copying the Apollo. So we know it's gonna work because

117
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: it has always worked. It has worked before there was

118
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: TV right right right, So so now it's like, okay,

119
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: so we're back. Now we're on primetime. Now we're on

120
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: the major network. So now we've got to We can't

121
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: be stuck in the past. We got an upgrade, We

122
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: got new technology, got new ways of storytelling. We can

123
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: go deeper than we ever did before. So you keep

124
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: what works, and then you add to it, add to it,

125
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: add to it beautiful, and and and and it shows

126
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: so much in the in the clarity. But the thing

127
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: I like about you, Reginald, is that you are a visionary.

128
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: I remember when you called me when you were shooting

129
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: a djangle unchanged with Jamie Fox and Samuel Jackson, and

130
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: you said, Roshan, you gotta get your butt down here. Man,

131
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: we're doing something down here. Man. That's crazy. It's good,

132
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean you said, I mean we're talking about this scene.

133
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: You saw what everybody was crying after the scene. It

134
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: was just so emotionally moved by that. You get involved

135
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: with projects like this all the time. This is not

136
00:07:54,280 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: accident huling. What's range. It's so you should say that

137
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: because I with right right. People are upset, hadn't read

138
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: the script, that know nothing. Oh man, this movie. Wait

139
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: what you work with Quick Tartino? Oh uh? You know

140
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: you know he gave black women. I'm like, I think

141
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: black women too. What we deal everybody's all worked up

142
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: and said, look, I didn't go. Have you read the script?

143
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: That go? Now? I said, I read the script. Here's

144
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: what the movie is about. It's about a black man

145
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: who do anything to get his wife back. He will

146
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: walk into hell and kill anybody between him and his

147
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: wife and get his wife's back. Now, I don't know

148
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: about you. I ain't got a problem with that. That

149
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: my kind of movie that I won't because you know,

150
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: I read my wife. Don't get between me and my wife.

151
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: It'll get handled right. So I'm like, wait a minute,

152
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: we ain't see a movie like this. This is what

153
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,520

198
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,320

199
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: the Image Awards now for five six years, So I

200
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: called the A c P. And I said, Um, Sherbet

201
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,000

202
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: wants me produced the Oscars. Now I know that is

203
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,880

Speaker 1: You're not gonna pen on? How are you gonna deal

220
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: with it? Incredible incredible pressure and you have, um, yeah,

221
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: because whatever, you know, I've been watching the show my

222

Speaker 1: whole life, so I know what I like, I know

223
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,000

224
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: You gotta approach it like a fan. Now here's the

225
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: there's a great thing about you, Okay, Black Panther. So

226
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: you a Black Panther before Black Panther. You know the

227
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: comic book. You know, he's always with Sean. I gotta

228
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: get through worried out by my comic book, the animated series,

229
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: and I'm going okay because I knew nothing about the movie,

230
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: you know. So so you was out there with that brand,

231
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: with a clear and that's what I keep telling you.

232
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: He's a visionary. People need to understand it's about Reginald.

233
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: Need to follow this guy on social media, need to

Speaker 1: track this guy on LinkedIn, because he's always ahead of

235
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: the curve, always with a clear understanding, with the power

236
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: Black Panther. How has Black Panther changed Hollywood? It's changed

237
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: everything because right now it's it's just it's I think

238
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: the number four biggest movie in Hollywood history about to

239
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: be number three. It's bigger than every other superhero movie.

240
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: It just passed Jurassic Parker, getting ready to pass Titanic

241
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: um and it didn't being the blackest possible movie you

242
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: can make? What white doe? Wh do do I do?

243
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: The one guy killed everything? Right a minute, when have

244
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: you ever seen Black Utopia on a movie before. Yes, sir, yes, sir,

245
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: world we're like no, we run things. We're more vance

246
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: and everybody else. And that's what I wrote in the

247
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: comic book years ago. I wrote the combook for four years,

248
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: and the important thing about the book was, and now

249
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to say some historical truths. In Benin

250
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: we had meadow alloys, right, take two medals and blending

251
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: them together, while people in Europe was still living in caves.

252
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: So you know, the fact is, in that prehistoric point

253
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: of history, we were a more advanced culture. So the

254
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: premise of Wakanda is what if we never lost that

255
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: head stopped and you know, and we we wouldn't lose it,

256
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: and we were such a military might that we could

257
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: not be conquered. And there are countries like that. You

258
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: look at Vietnam. They beat the Chinese, they beat the French,

259
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: they beat the Americans. They did in Afghanistan, they beat

260
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: the Russians, they beat you. There's certain countries just can't

261
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: get me. I don't care what they are. I know.

262
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: I so what kind is one of those countries? You

263
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: can't beat me? I don't care who you are? Step up,

264
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: and get some of this, and so they kept their culture.

265
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: They kept not just their music and their style, but

266
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: they're science and their morality. And that is why what

267
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: Kanda is the most powerful country in the world. And

268
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: it makes the core of the story and that's what

269
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: carries over to reality. You know. I'm saying that the

270
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: whole the way they was able to tie the STEM

271
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: program to the community. Don't leave a child behind. So

272
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: many messages that were told in their stories. It takes

273
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: a village to raise a child. All those stories. You know,

274
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: you can walk with your father's footsteps, you can be

275
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: bigger than your father, you can be better, and never

276
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: assume situations are until you check the facts. It really

277
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: was an amazing movie. But I also like at what

278
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: everybody knows that again Mr Visionary, Mr hudlind was before

279
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: the game was before the game. Again, before everybody knew

280
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: by Steve Harvey, Mr Huddling say I'm gonna put you

281
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: on this gospel show on BT that ran thirteen years

282
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: when people complaining by Jane go unchanged boomerang, that's Mr Hudlin,

283
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: house party, that's Mr Hudlin. Come on, brother, and I

284
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 1: am I here to tell you sing your praises. Yes,

285
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: I am. That's what money maining conversations. That's what money

286
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: main conversations about. I appreciate. Well, look, man, that just

287
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: looks you know you've done it. I've done it. You

288
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: see something, you believe in it, you commit a hundreds

289
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: and percent. You know, my son sometimes to comment and

290
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: he goes, Daddy, let's go do something. As a way. Second,

291
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: I'm working right now. Let me finish my work. Then

292
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: you know, I'll come join you. He goes, but daddy

293
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: is Saturday. I said, Daddy works every day, and so

294
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: you there you go. I tell people that people understand,

295
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: especially when you're an entrepreneur or self in Lord, there's

296
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: not a five day wi scared or at eight hour

297
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: or at lunch breaks. Sometimes you know, if if you

298
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: work for yourself every minute, you're not working as you

299
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: losing money. And unfortunately I'm an I'm in a situation

300
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: where I could work as much as I want, and

301
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, so I'm trying to get it done. Not

302
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: that you don't have to take breaks, that's that you

303
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: don't have to spend quality family time. But you've got

304
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,639
