46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: of Crystal Fox. They are okay. I'm not giving away

47
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: too much because it's a beautiful movie. You stuck your

48
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: foot in this movie. You stuck you know, like the

49
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: old people say, just some food and if you stuck

50
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: your foot in it. Acting directing in the beginning of

51
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: the movie, I thought you were just gonna be a

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: cameo roll in there, but you played on like I'm

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: mentoring it and I want to give you too much,

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: but it felt like with a mentorship type. You know,

55
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: you was get your job done, get your job done

56
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: type character. Because your character is a public defender. Tell

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: me about that for a few minutes. I feel like

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: when I was reading the script, it was just all

59
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: there on the page. And Jasmine being a public defender,

60
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: she wanted to give her all, but she was defeated already.

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: Um and of course Rory being the pass that he

62
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: is making easy gette and so she had to find

63
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: that in her strength and herself. And so it was

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: a joy to play. Absolutely. The thing I want to

65
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: say about Joe character because of the fact that you know,

66
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: I've seen you on have and have not, and this

67
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: this was a contension. And Tyler was really interesting because

68
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: he pushed some of these characters in areas I didn't expect.

69
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: So tell me about that. That level of expectation that

70
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: he pushed you too in your role, Now that's the

71
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: beauty of it. Tyler gave me the script and he

72
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: lets me go for and if he's trying to say

73
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: or always allows for me to bring what I believe

74
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: is in that right. That's what's so awesome about. When

75
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: he offers you something, you know he sees that, so

76
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: you come in and you just delve in and if

77
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: he believes it, he just lets you sell. Grace. Miss

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: Sarah played by I gotta say Miss for that character.

79
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: That was I know who you are. Television world has

80
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: laid it out to you can't go too far with

81
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: this character. But talk about preparation for that character, talk

82
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: about the lens that you went to extend what he

83
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: wanted from that character for this particular movie, A Fall

84
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: from Grace. Yes, she well. What was important for this

85
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: character was to be true in every moment, every single moment,

86
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: whatever that moment was was real. She was real in

87
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: every moment. But you were misleading it at times. As

88
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: far as the relationship. That's that's beside the points now

89
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: you were in the case say too much because in

90
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: the beginning of your character, your character plays out of

91
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: this person. You know, everybody felt that you can I

92
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: say this like a joke. You've been a lawyer, was

93
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: a joke and and then nobody respected you so that

94
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: that means they gave you an arc in the movie.

95
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: And how did that feel for you? I mean, well,

96
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: being looked at usually as a comedic actress, you don't

97
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: really get to play and I love that you You

98
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: don't usually get to play a multi layer character in

99
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: that way that you can show the various sides of

100
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: a woman and how she is trying to balance her

101
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: her personal life and her work life and being defeated

102
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: when she comes home from work. So, like I said,

103
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: everything was on the page, and Tyler just gave us

104
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: free will to go in and really developed these characters

105
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: in an honest way, But no character. I know they're saying,

106
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: you've given them free wid they gave you. You You gave

107
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: a free will the developed the character. But you have

108
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: you know what you wrote and let your comedic. You know,

109
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: first Lady TV, you know haven't happened all these characters

110
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: that I've seen shifted in disrections from their career that

111
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: they led up to that point. But you cast some

112
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: these rules. Why no? I just first of all, Crystal

113
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: had not had a shot to be a leading role

114
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: or leading in a leading role, a leading lady, and

115
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: I thought it's high time forty years in the business,

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: and I was so excited to do that for her graduation.

117
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: Cast Brisa against type not commonly cast her in the

118
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: dramatically and acrimony. She did a couple small roles that

119
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: were amazing. And then I add Sinceily Tyson and Miss

120
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: Felicia's shot to round out this level of talent. It

121
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: was just it was incredible for me. Well, I'm gonna

122
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: tell you something. I laughed. I was mad. People nextually

123
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: hitting me. You know, we go to a black movie

124
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: when they started getting Yeah, it's a good shot. People

125
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: still up in the end, Tyler, you did, you did? Really?

126
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: You know? You know you have a fan. You know

127
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: now your Netflix tell us about that journey for your brain. Well,

128
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: I I filmed this movie. It wasn't originally with Netflix.

129
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: I just filmed it and I was gonna just shop

130
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: it and see where it was gonna land. But they

131
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: came right away. Yeah, They're like, come on, we got

132
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: we gotta have it. And I gotta tell you, it's

133
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: been the most diverse a group of people I've ever

134
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: worked with this so anything I've done in the Hollywood.

135
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited about working you know. I know now,

136
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: you know they they take some of these movies to

137
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: theaters and they put them back on and I'm gonna

138
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: tell you some some nominations to do for some of

139
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: these characters in this movie. I was very impressed with

140
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: the whole process and watching you build out this whole

141
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: concept of allowing you to make looking at your character

142
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: grace looking joke your character Jasmine, your character Miss Sarah,

143
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: and bled and I was confused. You know, I'm a writer,

144
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: probably writing television a long time, and when you can

145
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: take a guy like me and I'm going kind of

146
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: frustrated in a good way because I don't know what

147
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: the script is going, but when it goes in their

148
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: lands and lands in such a powerful direction as a

149
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: testament not only that to you as a director and

150
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: the writer, but the characters you allowed to put on three.

151
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: But I'd be remissed because he's not here. Yes, Mr Brooks,

152
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: Mr Brooks, we have to talk about him. He was sexy, Yeah,

153
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: he was. He hasn't mccauth Brooks as a human being

154
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: has an energy about him that is just what can

155
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,920

Speaker 1: we have to we have to put it out there

324
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: talk about Well. The thing of it is is UM

325
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: having this platform, I feel like I have to be

326
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: responsible with it. UM. It's one thing to have the

327
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: platform because you know, people love you as a radio host,

328
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: that's one thing. But even with that, because they do,

329
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: I want to take advantage of this opportunity to bring

330
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: my friends along and help me, you know, reach back

331
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: into our communities. UM. Through the platform. I have something

332
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: called mobs and I know that you've been a part

333
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: of that as well. UM. We do something annually called

334
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: UM Celebrities Cooking for Calls, and I reach out to

335
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: my celebrity friends like Rushan McDonald's SPECIALI and he came

336
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: through looking especially over holidays but I hated making But anyway, UM, UM,

337
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: I reach out to them and ask them to you know,

338
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: prepare their favorite meal and their favorite dish so that

339
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: we can go and feed, UM those that are less

340
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: fortunate and wrap our arms around them and love on

341
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: them and UM you know, give them gifts and and whatnot.

342
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: So that's that's one of the things that I do, UM.

343
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: But everywhere that I have an opportunity to speak to mothers. Um,

344
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: I take the opportunity to do that. Us I am

345
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: a mother of three, but they've grown now because then

346
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: I got two grandkids. But um, one thing that I

347
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: did not have a lot of I have my mother,

348
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: but I was not in the same city with my mother,

349
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: and I needed guidance, support, directions, someone in the point

350
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: me in the right direction, sometimes just right. That was

351
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: with an arm's reach. And I think that makes the

352
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: difference when you're raising children. Um. Sometimes you know, parents

353
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: go through things where the father and the mother are

354
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: not you know, on good terms. But how do you

355
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: how do you make that work anyway? You know, you

356
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: still have to make it work for the children. So

357
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: everywhere that I can speak to young ladies and mothers,

358
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: I take the opportunity to do that. We all know

359
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: that you could say black white, you can say green yellow.

360
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: People will hear what they want to hear exactly. And sometimes,

361
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, as much as you try to bring clarity

362
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: to the situation, people can shape it to the direction

363
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: they want to tell the story that's right, you know,

364
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: and and it's really sad. So with that being said,

365
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: you in that gospel world, those church living the life

366
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: of perfection. Come on, tell him nothing, Come on, because

367
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: they all socially right right, law have mercy. God is good.

368
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: How do you deal with that? Girl? God is good

369
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: for that thing? Right man? Man? Listen, who do you

370
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: know what you're talking to? Right right? What is a

371
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: church person? Listen that? What is the church person? What

372
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: is there? There are several and you know you have

373
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: to understand, you know, I get excited about this part,

374
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: but actually, you know, I was raised in church, you know,

375
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: and so I know church like the back of my hand.

376
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: And then I run into some people that are not

377
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: living a truth. You are living, you are comfortably living

378
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: a lie, and then you're covering yourself up with God

379
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: is good all the time. Well, yes that is true,

380
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: but are you the truth? Right? You see what I mean?

381
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's it, just through Well you know the

382
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: thing about I'm not trying to push too much information out,

383
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: but I just know that I remember several years ago,

384
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey and uh Kurt Franklin did a tour together.

385
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: So I have first hand awareness that Brandon and marketing

386
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: that's in particular market because that was my responsibility. Yeah,

387
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: these dates sold out. He did it too, had a

388
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: comedian who was known for cussing, and I had Kurt Franklin,

389
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: who was all gospel, come against what teenagers and kids

390
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: could come to his show. So immediately when I put

391
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: the tickets over, say I said eighteen and oh lord,

392
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: I didn't know because I'm just selling ticket. Get the

393
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: call from Kurt Preople, huh chickens, Uh eighteen and up?

394
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: We have kids and teenagers and BRENI we gotta change that,

395
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: and that said, Okay, what I'm gonna do, Kurt? Okay,

396
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,120
Speaker 1: can they not sit on the front brow? I said, Kenny,

397
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: can they just can they be on the third or fourth?

398
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: Because I know that Steve Harvey came. He's probably doing

399
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: that because he's family, a few kids. He's family a

400
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: few kids, he's straight family not but back just kind

401
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: of did that video for Bishop TV Jakes. Okay, you

402
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: know that was the first time he did the show

403
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: with our cousins, so he wasn't all the way that

404
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: and so so I understood that when I when I

405
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out at first I started marketing

406
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: on you know, gospel stations, then well, you know that's

407
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: my market wasn't selling no tickets because then I realized that, Okay,

408
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: who are church people? Then I started going back to

409
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: the R and B stations. Okay station, My tickets started moving.

410
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: So that's why I have to ask the question who

411
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: are church people? Because when I was over there on

412
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: the church gospel station wasn't selling no tickets. When I

413
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: was when my e blasts were going out to the

414
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: all Gospel citric, what's selling no ticket? As soon as

415
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: I went over there too, what they were called centers,

416
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: I started selling tickets. That's what I'm talking about. So

417
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: so that's why I asked that question, not to be

418
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, condescendant, because I don't know who they are.

419
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: All I know is that they listen to Agree. They

420
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: listened to the Pendographs, they listen to Scott, they the Kim,

421
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: they listen to Anthony Hamlets. Okay, if they listen to Keith,

422
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. I'm listen. I'm going through kind

423
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: of the same thing because City Winery is a winery

424
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: and they're saying, well, the gospel people are not going

425
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: to buy those tickets, and I'm like, oh, yes, they will, absolutely,

426
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. It's really funny. See now, if you own

427
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: a gospel station talking about it. Then anything they go,

428
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: I can't come or just take that same interview to

429
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: R and B station and the same person the same

430
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: person here, girl, I'm gonna get those tick. Then he's

431
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: not telling the life. That's that's the same part about

432
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: And that's that's what leads to my question that you

433
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: have my statement that you have breaking the stigma or

434
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: what church looks like. Talk to me about that. I

435
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: just believe that a lot of times, you know, what

436
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: we've done in the past with the church, and then

437
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, promoting Christ and promoting God, we've made it

438
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: seem like he's so delicate that he can't take the

439
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: truth about who we are. That's why I love by

440
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: Kirk Franklin. Kris Franklin is a guy who's you know,

441
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, you know. It's um, it's really interesting that

442
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: you say that because he's so honest in a brutal way,

443
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: and people go, Okay, why is he talking like that?

444
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: Because in the end, you should be able to be

445
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: yourself as a child of God. Come on, yeah, because

446
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: God made us. I mean, it's like I am equipped

447
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: with everything God gave me. Why can't I be as individuals?

448
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: As individuals? That's exactly right, and each individual has equipment

449
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: and our purpose and a plan. And too many people

450
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: have talking on this show conversation, we're talking, We're talking. Okay,

451
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: thank you, That's what I'm saying. But but you know,

452
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: we as individuals, like I said, we have, we have,

453
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: we are show come on Sundays too, doesn't really? Yes?

454
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so you can talk like this, yes, good, good,

455
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: good good, because you know, just as I was, I

456
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: was just saying, you know, we have we are who

457
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: we are and God made us who we are. Right,

458
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: but if we can't be authentic, what is the reason

459
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: that we are waking up every day? And so that's

460
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: what that's exactly right. We want real people. We want

461
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: real people that that have a real story and then

462
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: have something to say. No, I'm not perfect, that I'm

463
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: probably will never be perfect, and I'm not gonna I'm

464
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: not gonna be so arrogant to even try to be perfect.

465
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: Just be me. So you have a syndicated night and show.

466
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: What does that show? What does it produce? Shows? Syndicated

467
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: warning shows? So I know I have a system. You

468
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: start the phone calls and you have some jokes head,

469
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: you have entertainment news, what is what just the lineup

470
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: of your show? The lineup of my show, Well, I'm

471

Speaker 1: I'm on at night, um, from seven to eleven pm.

472
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,239

473
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: coming home from work and have had probably a hard

474
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: day and that want to talk. So I have, you know,

475
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: a chat room topic, so we could just talk about

476
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: absolutely anything, you know. But but my purpose for my

477
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: show is to uplift you know, before people go to

507
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: first of all, you know you're doing great things and

508
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: uh in television because you know, it's just been a

509
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: journey in the reality world of respect, you know, and

510
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: I and I just tell you share my personal story.

511
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: When I was producing and UH and creating the Neighborhood

512
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: Awards with Steve, Steve Harvey was hosting, it was a

513
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: pure where you know, there were no African Americans and

514
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: dramas and or North African American show which that at

515
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: sitcom talent and all the talent was coming from the

516
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: reality TV world. And it was a period when reality

517
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: TV was fighting and throwing and cussing and fussing and

518
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: it was just ugly out there. And so it's really

519
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: putting a black eye on what do do black people

520
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: act like this? And I've seen that and I feel

521
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: there has been Now we see sitcoms with African Americans

522
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: on it, we see dramas would lead African Americans, and

523
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: I feel that that has helped UH stylized and help

524
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: the world of reality TV to be more accepted and

525
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: also shape better stories. Am I correcting another assessment? No,

526
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: you absolutely are. I think, um listen when it comes

527
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: to reality TV. The reason why I started my company,

528
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: Kingdom Rain Entertainment, is because I wanted to change the

529
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: landscape of how African Americans are beat on television. So

530
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: know your assessment is right in terms of uh has

531
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: been stored up the attention that's we're given to in

532
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: the past, and my hope is to redirect that in

533
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: the future. Well, you're doing a good job, first of all,

534
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: because you know, you know, and I would tell you

535
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: like I can have honest conversations and that, and I

536
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: really believe that the stories are being told better because

537
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: African Americans are actually producing these shows with African American

538
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: needs and African American content and they're not stories that

539
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: we assumed that's how they should act. Well, let's just

540
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: make believe this particular scenario and that I believe really helps.

541
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: And so when I you said, Rashan, you're excited to

542
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: have me on the show, Yes, I am, because you

543
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: are telling the story that is accurate. We all know

544
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: it's entertainment. Don't get me wrong, callers, that's entertainment. We

545
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: got to have the ratings. Heither, right, But guess what

546
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: there is credibility and how the stories being told now

547
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: because you understand the culture. Yeah, no, that's true, that's true.

548
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: And I would think other reason too, because again, prior

549
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: to me starting the company, I was a hired freelance

550
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: producer who had to produce these shows and did not

551
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: really have a stay in the beginning, middle, and end

552
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: of how these stories were being told. And the biggest

553
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: theme that I wanted to give people work credibility and

554
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: to show that there is an audience out there where people,

555
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: especially African Americans, they want to see people who look

556
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: like them on television, but they also want to make

557
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: sure that it's really something that's happening in the real lives.

558
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: And when you look at Love and Marriage Hunt Bill

559
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: on the Oprah Whimpering Network and the show to Me

560
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: is doing well, um solely because you have three couples

561
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: who I think represent a large part of black family households.

562
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: Whether or not you disagree with them or agree with them,

563
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: you know somebody who sort of represents that that lifestyle.

564
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: So the show has been a huge hit for own

565
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: because these African American couples who are successful, but they

566
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: also are giving you insight into what happened in their

567
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: households to hopefully shed light on what happens in households

568
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: across America. And the success of that show, to me,

569
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: shows the reason why I wanted to begin the company

570
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that I continue to have people tune

571
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: into the shows we're creating over here. That really speaks

572
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: to that attention. Well, I'm gonna tell you something. I

573
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: know when I left IBM, I was a degree as

574
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: mathematics and left IBM to do stand up comic because

575
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: I traveled all over the country telling jokes. And what

576
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: people don't know is, uh, how modern the city of

577
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: Huntsville is. It's one of the It's like a silicon

578
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: vast technology. Why that's where NASA started. NASA started in

579
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: hunted exactly, and a lot of people don't understand that.

580
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: So I remember. So, if you any any popular chain

581
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: in America, food Changing, it is in Huntsville, Alabama, and

582
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: and so and so I know, I usually love going

583
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: there because you know, great comedy and close are people

584
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, well, very knowledgeable and you don't do crazy

585
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: things to get people to laugh. And so so you

586
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: picked the city that, as one would say, you know,

587
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: it's like with a high uh intellectual and cultural platform

588
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: in Huntsville, Alabama, And a lot of people didn't know that.

589
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: And I think that you're telling the story and opening

590
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: people's eyes to Huntsville. Yeah, no, that was you know what,

591
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: that was the biggest goal. When Melody and Mark Home

592
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: met with me, you know, they they drove from Huntsville

593
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. I was living there at the time. This

594
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: is maybe five years ago, and they pitched me the

595
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: idea of doing something in Huntsville. And just to be

596
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: completely transparent, I'm like, who's in the hunstand all about?

597
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: You know what? I mean? More curious about the city

598
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: than anything else. And I you that Melito and Martell

599
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: has something interesting to tell the world, But I was

600
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: really interested in the city as a whole. And you

601
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: are right. It's such a city that has so many

602
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: affluent black people who thrived there and they're super smart.

603
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 1: We met with a rocket scientist, you know, this black

604
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: man who's a rocket scientists think you hear, you hear

605
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: about what you've never really seen. So it's such a smart,

606
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: savvy town. And I think a lot of people watch

607
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,959
Speaker 1: the show and they're like, Wow, they're smart, successful black

608
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: people who live in Huntsville, Alabama. And to me is

609
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: putting the city on the map, and it's allowing the

610
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: city to really be shown in a light that you know,

611
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: when people think of the South, they think, oh, they're

612
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: uneducated and the sect off the shows providing something different

613
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: means the world to me. Yeah, it's really cool. Like

614
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: like I I very when I when I realized it

615
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: was coming on, I tuned in because now and because

616
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: if you know, I've had a blessed life to be

617
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: able to articulate something by Huntsville, Alabama to you and

618
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: be able to be on dead own spot means that

619
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: I've I've experienced that culture and I was so my

620
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: life has allowed me to experience a lot of different paths.

621
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: And the fact that you know, this is not Birmingham,

622
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: this is not Montgomery, this is Huntsville. Totally different cons city,

623
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: totally different set up, totally different lifestyle. And it also

624
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: is who doesn't have it, Who doesn't do a country cousin? Okay, right,

625
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: we don't have you know, you know, because everybody got

626
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: to cut your cousin in the South. Okay, everybody in

627
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: the North came from the South. So so you wouldn't

628
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: everybody from l a move from Alabama or Mississippi or Arkansas.

629
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, so so you weren't out of your comfort zone.

630
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: You actually bringing people back to their roots. Oh absolutely, absolutely,

631
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: And and looking I'm from right, come on, getting comfortable now,

632
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: he getting comfortable. Now, it's all just got caught. Yeah,

633
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: let's let's do it. No, I'm from the Tree and

634
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: I grew up in the whole era of black excellence

635
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: and you know, growing up when my motor City was

636
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: really thriving in the Motown sound and all that amazing stuff.

637
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: So again, it's all about giving back to your community

638
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: in some in some way, and with Huntsville, that was

639
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: one part of it. But it's what you said it again.

640
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: I think the show is successful because you look at

641
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: these African American people and they remind you of family,

642
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: They remind you of home. And my hope is that

643
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: that is an eye opener as even for me and

644
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: my team to really start putting more of these other

645
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say forgotten towns, but more so a

646
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: town that a lot of people just aren't familiar with.

647
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: So even the way we're creating shows, Rishan, we're really

648
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: taffricking to markets where it's the typical Atlanta, Miami and

649
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: late New York. Like, we're going down to the south

650
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: just to really see what is there. Because I think

651
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: the way television is is working a lot of people,

652
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're bored easily with the same city you

653
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: see across television. But to tap into those towns where

654
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: you've heard about the city but you don't really know

655
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: about it, Um, that excites me to really put more

656
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: of these cities on about So now you've got you've

657
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: got Freedom Rain out there, Kingdom Rain is backing it up,

658
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: backing it up. And I, uh, when you when you

659
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 1: put together these casts, uh, and you put put together

660
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: the shows, what show do you feel over the years

661
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: that you that you you know, I know we talked

662
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: about Housewives of Atlanta they really touched you? Or just

663
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: just say, hey, man, really I learned so much from

664
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: being a part of that show. And you know I

665
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: always have friends from that show. What show may have

666
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: touched you like that over the years that I produced

667
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: somebody own owns? Oh good question. Um, I'll say this much.

668
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: I think since Hollywood Divas the first show that my

669
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: company was able to produce TV one, Yeah, thank you

670
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: back in twenty four team, I would say that show

671
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: will always mean the most to me. It's like it's

672
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: like I'm not a parent, but I'm gonna assume all

673
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: parents feel this way about their first born, like there's

674
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: nothing like your first born. Like you love you, you

675
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: love all your kids equally, but that that feeling and

676
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: that experience of your firstborn means the most. It's because

677
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: it's the first. We don't look at it interest You

678
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: say that. It's interesting, you say that because I want

679
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: I want to share a story, which I know we're

680
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: running a time. I want to get this in. And

681
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: it's very propositive what you're saying, because when you go

682
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: out there and you do something for the first time,

683
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: what's your production company? I remember when I was did

684
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: the Neighborhood Awards and I actually produced it for the

685
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: first time myself, and you know, I was you know,

686
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: people asked me and I told him, yeah, even though

687
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know what, I still moved forward with confidence

688
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: because I felt I was ready. I felt that I've

689
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: seen it all enough to be able to confidably go

690
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: out there and know that that camera goes there, that

691
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: stage and goes there, that like you goes there, that

692
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: has to happen right there. And and I actually when

693
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: when when when I actually was rehearsal, I was I

694
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: was brought to tears because I realized that there's how

695
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: much work you have to put in, and how many

696
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: naysayers stepping between your stepping between your opportunities. And even

697
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: the people that you care about, you really can't turn

698
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: to them because they don't even know what you're talking about.

699
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: So the support that they can offer to you, it's nice,

700
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: but it ain't enough. And and you got to walk

701
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: out there. I always tell people this, and joking, I

702
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: always say, if you are if you are in the

703
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: military and you're telling them you're the captain and you're

704
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: telling somebody to charge up a hill, you can't have

705
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: tears in your eyes because the reality is is that

706
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: you have to be straight. You have to be strong,

707
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: You have to at the top of your game, even

708
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: even if everybody around you questions you. That means you

709
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: have to do your homework. And my friend, I say

710
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,000

Speaker 1: and it has to have some relevances and people. Easy

762
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: to do with Sean McDonald's show, Money Making Conversation Show,

763
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: because when I started the platform three years ago, you know,

764
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: I had my celebrity friends call in and and I

765
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: didn't know even though why I was talking to him,

766
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, just they were calling in and hey, ro Sean,

767
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: and after hay very Seawan, it went, okay, what we're

768
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 1: gonna talk about. So I had to develop a point

769
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: of view. And my point of view is to bring

770
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: talented individuals. You guys, not only are you know celebrities

771
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: from a from a TV standpoint, but your celebrities in

772
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: the entrepreneurship the world, and that's where I that's where

773
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: I live in entrepreneurship as well as entertainment, and so

774
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring you on the show. Both of

775
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,479
Speaker 1: you because it's a power couple. I love bringing power

776
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: couples on the show because it's really about communication and

777
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: it's about bellon it because you bring your work home

778
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: and you take your work away from home, and you

779
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: need to have to learn when to stop working. And

780
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: so I wanted to start off because I had Carlos King.

781
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: He was on the show yesterday. He's the creator executive

782
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: Carlos King. Now, come on now, he was, and I

783
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: told him that I was going to be interviewing you

784
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: guys and he said, wow, he said, they tell us

785
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: how you guys created how that I was the relationship

786
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: that you guys have to start out with Carlos King. Well,

787
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's so just very interesting and amazing because

788
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: we actually met Carlos King five years ago and when

789
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: we sat down and met with him, it was for

790
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,479
Speaker 1: a consultation to pitch this show idea that we had

791
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: that was really based off of us, our family and

792
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: our business and interest in this industry called the property

793
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: preservation industry, which is a multibillion dollar industry. Right, So

794
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 1: we met with him pay star, oh show them our treatment,

795
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: and he loved, you know, he loved the idea. He said,

796
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, you guys look like you would be great

797
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: on TV. But to be honest, the first thing you

798
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: said was, you know, what do you say? Right He said,

799
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: you guys want to be on Real Housewives of Atlanta

800
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: and right now was like, uh, now, I want to

801
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: keep my wife. At that time, yeah, yeah, So that's

802
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: kind of was a lot of breakups and stuff relationship

803
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: if you're going on and on housewives, and was like,

804
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 1: I want to keep my wife. So when we met

805
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: with him, and then over the years, we just continue

806
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: to reach out to Carlos, continuing to fill Huntsville, to

807
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: sell the whole brand, showing him what's happening in Huntsville,

808
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: what's happening with our family dynamic, and you know, we

809
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: just you know, we really pushed the idea and it

810
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: doesn't happen overnight all the time. You know, now we

811
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: have a show on the Oprah Winfrey Network and we're

812
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: so thankful and excited about that and you know, just

813
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: thankful for that opportunity. But it took a long time

814
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: us saying in contact and pushing what we thought would

815
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: be a great idea. And then we speak about pushing,

816
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, we hired our own staff to you know,

817
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: record us and things of that nature supposed to do

818
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: like sizles and things like that. So it was it

819
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: was it was work. It was work. Um. So like

820
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: Melody mentioned, doesn't happen overnight, So we really have to

821
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: put work in to accomplish the goal. When the goal

822
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 1: was to get a show, and we got it, fortunition

823
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: accomplished and on to the next name. Absolutely the cool

824
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: thing aboudy go okay, Huntsville, Alabama, the birthplace of Alabama, uh,

825
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: population with about two thousand population. But then you start

826
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: digging into Alabama high tech. You know, the legacy of

827
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: the space programs out of Alabama Huntsville about a lot

828
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: of people don't know that reason I know that was

829
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: that when I left IBM and U six to become

830
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: a comic on the road, I used to come through

831
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: it Huntsville, Alabama to perform. So when I walked when

832
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: I went into that market, you know, it's it's is

833
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: totally different from any of the city in Alabama because

834
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: of that high tech. And I totally agree. And if

835
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: you have we have the number two research park um

836
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: in the country, huh and the largest research in the country.

837
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that you know when when you when

838
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: you came to call us calls just like anybody else. Huntsville, Alabram,

839
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: what's going on in Huntsville, Alabama? Who's here? And see

840
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: cows and horses and that absolutely then you got good

841
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: food too, and great barbecue, all that good stuff down

842
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: in Huntsville. But that's why he looked at an attractive couple.

843
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: There was a modern that there was a go getter.

844
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: That's why I want you want be on the Real

845
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: Housewives of Atlanta. He was trying to pull y'all into Atlanta,

846
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: not knowing that he hadn't done his research yet. And

847
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything negative because everybody knows what they know.

848
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: I just have to know it because guess what. I

849
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: was a road comic. I I went through all the

850
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: cities in America telling my jokes. And when I got

851
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: to Huntsville, Alabama, it opened my eyes because every restaurant

852
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: change that you can find in Houston or dall Us

853
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: was in Huntsville, Alabama. The the the intellectual or uh

854
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: concert crowd was in Alabama. And I realized that all

855
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: sitting around that high tech environment is sitting right there

856
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: in little old northern Alabama, Huntsville, Alabama. And that's what

857
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: you do. That's awesome. That's yes, that's hurts you. And

858
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: that's one of the things you know that for us,

859
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: it's so awesome. It's actually, you know, it's easy certain

860
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: markets to get a show in, like your Atlanta, you're

861
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: all age or New York. But we're doing something right

862
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: here in Alabama, and I think that's part of the

863
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: significance of our program and of our shows. Well, guess

864
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: what I'm very happy about. I know the finale ended

865
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: in November, and so I know it's not on right now.

866
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the entrepreneurship side of you too,

867
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: and also the fact that you guys were former school teachers. Correct. Yeah, yeah.

868
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: I have a degree in secondary education English and I

869
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: have a degree in special education. And I did go

870
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: to something what a year ahead. It was. It was tough.

871
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,919
Speaker 1: It was it was toughing, very challenging, you know, dealing

872
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: with the kids of today. Let's talk about that because

873
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: like my degrees in mathematics, okay, my mind is in sociology.

874
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: I went to school and and I was I was

875
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: under the thought process that that's where I was supposed

876
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: I was supposed to. I don't reget going to college here.

877
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: I love the fact that I have a math degree,

878
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that's your final journey. And that's

879
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: why I love about you got story. You know, you

880
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: were educators, so you're out there shaping minds and so

881
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: in your mind said this is the direction I should go.

882
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: But what made the twist? What? What what made that turn?

883
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 1: Because you know the to to Actually you were working

884
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 1: in the environment of your career choice. Why the change?

885
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: You know, Um, I'll start person and let Martel answer

886
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: from my point of view. You know, I don't feel

887
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: like there's something set for you and that's your only

888
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: path and that's your only way. People can be versatile, right,

889
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: I think that for us, even though we were in

890
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: the classroom, we also ultimately still had that business side

891
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: to us because you gotta think, keep in mind, when

892
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: we were teaching, you know, we started a lawn care business.

893
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: We you know, gained over fifty residential clients that we

894
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: were cutting lines after school and on the weekends running

895
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: this business. LLF seeded creating marketing material and things of

896
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: that nature. You know, we were doing all of that

897
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: while we were teaching, and then we went on to

898
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: gain some commercial clients in the line care fielding UM

899
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: cleaning certain offices like dental offices and things like that,

900
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: UM at night and on the weekend. So we though

901
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: we had degrees in education within us, who was still

902
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: when you say, Marcello, that business sense and business side

903
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: to us, Yeah, I think that, Melan. Now we both

904
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: are entrepreneurs at heart, and I think that's the key

905
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: to a lot of our success. Right there is no

906
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: one had to coach us to be entrepreneurs. It was

907
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 1: already within. So it's we're gonna do multiple things. So

908
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: us teaching, it's like we had to do something else.

909
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: And also we wanted the better lifestyle as well, other

910
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 1: than you know, the thirty forty some thousand dollars salary

911
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: that we were getting from teaching and then teaching to

912
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: you know, it's not only full time, but it's like

913
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: over time, and you don't get paid over time from

914
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: being a school teacher creating papers and creating lessons and

915
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: also coming out of your pocket pay for things that

916
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: goes out to teachers. Right now, and I'm hopefully one

917
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: day I'll be starting, Melan, I would be starting a

918
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: program to assist um, teachers in and I guess, you know,

919
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: getting better paying, you know, getting better more money and

920
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 1: things of that nature, because teachers, they do a lot.

921
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 1: And I also come out of their pockets. I was saying,

922
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: because of the fact that, you know, just just because

923
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: the kid goes to school, don't mean they have the

924
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: proper supplies, don't mean they have the opportunity to be

925
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: able to, you know, learn the curriculum because of the

926
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: fact that you have to come out of your pocket

927
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: and get some extra paperwork or by a book. And

928
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's always an option to be successful. Like

929
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: you said, go out and find the people who that's

930
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: what they do. You know, you find a person that

931
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: you're not, you're not supposed to poor. That's the concrete

932
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: Go find somebody that's what they do poor, the concrete delegate.

933
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: Delegate with degating too much, don't get him start delegate everything.

934
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: Hey brother, you gotta sleep. But I always tell people,

935
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, I remember when I started, uh the early

936
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: years of manager Steve Hard. You know, I I booked

937
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: the car, I booked the flights, I picked us up,

938
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: I brought all the food and went out and never realized,

939
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta start getting extra people around you, security,

940
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: get called somebody to book your flight and your book

941
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: your car services. And that's I started delegating to Mard.

942
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 1: So you need to tell her to be quiet. I

943
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: know that's your wife and everything. She's beautiful, but she

944
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: can't tell she can't interrupt you when you're delegating. Delegating.

945
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: It is a beautiful thing, my brother. That's that's right.

946
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: And make you feel so much, make you feel better,

947
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: look better, look younger. You know what I'm saying. You know,

948
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: wake up with your back hurt, and delegate that pick

949
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: up over there, delegate that that that go do something

950
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: for me. Just just delegate. This the way to go.

951
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,919
Speaker 1: So so whatever you say, miss Hope, I can't join

952
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: you on that. He can delegate all he wants. Now,

953
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're a delegator too, aren't you, because I

954
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: can hear you talk. You almost wanted to tell me

955
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: something to do a couple of times during this interview,

956
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: because I know you tell people to do on a

957
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: regular basis. I delegate, but not as much as Martel.

958
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, I do believe in balance, um, and I

959
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: think that a lot of times, you know, whenever we

960
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: are UM, with someone is great. Whenever you can. You

961
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: know you're not gonna fool me with this church voice. Uh.

962
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how you handle it, brother, You know

963
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: you was four years older. You You're just a patient

964
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: brother with that church force. You know you just started

965
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: getting in an argument. You're gonna pull out that praise

966
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: the Lord voice on you. You don't know what to do?

967
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: You know you can, man, do I want to talking

968
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: about your through out that little sweet Alabama voice on you.

969
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: But I know she's a cutthroat in negotiation all that

970
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: because I know you can. I'm gonna just tell you

971
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: this now. You would probably when that when that opportunity

972
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: to demolish that home and rebuild it, you were thinking

973
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: about it, wouldn't you, mar Tell she had already started

974
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: planning it. Why can't we do it? Well, baby, baby, listen,

975
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: White Chid already that plans on the kitchen table. Everything

976
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: you're going because we were as men, we think things out.

977
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: We were thinking that women, why can't we? And then

978
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: then it forced us to be in the position to yes,

979
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: we can. So so it's a good power couple relationship.

980
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: So whenever one is thinking that they can't do it,

981
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: the others pushing them out the door. If everyone is

982
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: saying that car can't start, the others look, got the

983
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 1: hood up, Why can't you start? Let's make a start.
