He's very good and amazing dance you 162 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: fools as well. But the thing about it is that 163 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: when because I've watched some cliffs from the series is 164 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: that when you're talking about like my father he was 165 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: passed away, our relationship was kind of like that. You know, 166 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: he had expectations for me, and I had expectations for myself, 167 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: and so and so in the series, it comes across 168 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: and which is a good storytelling by the way, where 169 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: he thinks he wants you to live the life that 170 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: you want him to live, and that creates the conflict 171 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: because you're just trying to get him to live the 172 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: best life that he can possible. And that's the that's 173 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: the basis of that storytelling for that particular series. Correct. Yes, 174 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: absolutely and uh and not to be outdone. My father 175 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: was the same way he pushed me. It was accepting 176 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: of everything that I do and always um is that 177 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: first person to be that that cheerleader, uh, you know, 178 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: to encourage me. But I believe me if it wasn't 179 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: for him, well my mother as well, UM, they wanted 180 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: me to be the best me um, And so you 181 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: know they laid that foundation with God and hard work, 182 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: uh and dedication. There's nothing that I couldn't do. And 183 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: so you know I realized that and that's what I 184 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: passed on to my kids as well and try to 185 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: encourage them as well.
