00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 4: and swirling her around.

160
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: It felt like a cartoon. And then I threw her

161
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: into a thorn bush and then she was like, I'm done.

162
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to fight you.

163
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 5: I was like period, period, like if young teeth could

164
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 5: say period, period.

165
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: Please don't fight me, please.

166
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do this anyway.

167
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 3: And I went home.

168
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: So but like that was my life, Like it was

169
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 4: like I didn't fight every day, but that was my

170
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 4: first fight. The block was so amazing and yeah, and

171
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 4: and my house felt like we had a house. And

172
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: then I looked at it recently online and it's so tiny.

173
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy.

174
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: I just went back to my hometown in November and

175
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: I was taking them. We were going to the house

176
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: we lived in, and I was like it felt so

177
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: much bigger when I was a kid.

178
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: You couldn't tell me there wasn't a mansion.

179
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: Girl, I lived in a mansion, and it was it

180
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: wasn't or it was not so and I was like,

181
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: that thing is so tiny, but it felt so mighty

182
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 4: for me as a little girl, and for my mom

183
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 4: and dad, you know, to buy a house during that time,

184
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 4: which was not not a lot of people were buying

185
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: houses at a young age. And yeah, so yeah, so

186
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: that was my little time. And then I moved to

187
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: Long Island.

188
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: When and they say, that's not New York.

189
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: When people were like, that's not me. Oh god, I'm

190
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: gonna look at the camera. Be quiet, just be quiet

191
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: New York. Okay.

192
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: That is funny. Being in New York.

193
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: I feel like it's a melting pot and it's a

194
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: place where you have access to so many things. So

195
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: whatever it is that you want to do, there's something

196
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: in that city that you can tap into to help

197
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: build that character. What drew you to the arts and

198
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: was that something at a young age or was it

199
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: later on in life where you're like, this is what

200
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: I want to do.

201
00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

202
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: I remember in Queen's on Saturday mornings watching like shows likertoons.

203
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 4: I remember the Cosby Show not you know, I remember

204
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 4: a different world, like you know, like all those things

205
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: as a kid, and you're just I just remember. The

206
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 4: one thought I do remember is I want to be

207
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: in that thing inside.

208
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: I don't know how like it was.

209
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: It was just a little planted seed like I remember

210
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 4: that as a kid, that line I want to be

211
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: in there.

212
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: Wow.

213
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 4: And so that's all I had. Like there was no

214
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 4: like wish like oh, I'm going to do it girl, Like.

215
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: Let's let's go do the arts, mom, I want to

216
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: be in what are they doing? Nothing like it was

217
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: just that seed. I remember.

218
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: It was like a spirit of life. I want to

219
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: be in there because it was just like you saw Rudy,

220
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 4: you know, you like saw all those things. And and

221
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: then when I went to Long Island, I I don't know,

222
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: I kind of it woke up.

223
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: More, you know.

224
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: And I don't know exactly why it woke up more,

225
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 4: but it felt like more feasible because the time I

226
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 4: was like fifty sixteen, working at a movie theater.

227
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: I worked at a movie theater. Yes, it was sober.

228
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: I was just a concession girl.

229
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 4: Not just we sold girl, girl, we upsold well for

230
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 4: five hours more.

231
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: You can have this two hours where you can have

232
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 3: this okay, shure, throw it in. Yeah.

233
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: So I worked at a movie theater and it felt

234
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 4: like I was next to my dream. Wow, you know,

235
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 4: and I was able to make some money, go to

236
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: New York on the Long Island Railroad on the weekends,

237
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:29,800

00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: I literally went to Barnes and Nobles and got a

240
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 4: book on like how to become.

241
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: An actor.

242
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: Because I didn't know.

243
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't.

244
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: For me, there was no like internet. I don't even

245
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: think there was an Internet at that time.

246
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, on nineteen.

247
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: So ridiculous.

248
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: Like the Ice Age, You're like, girl, how long ago?

249
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: Wasn't that long ago?

Speaker 3: It wasn't that long ago?

251
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: But it feels you can make us feel it.

252
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 4: They do like if you if you were born in

253
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 4: ninety eighty five or nineteen ninety.

254
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, like, come down, because it definitely makes me

255
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: feel old ninety those I'm like, I didn't.

256
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,840

257
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: I go down, I know.

258
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 4: But yeah, no, So I would go to New York

259
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: and kind of try to figure I was just trying

260
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 4: to figure that's it, like literally trying to figure it out.

261
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

262
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 3: So No, there was no real path.

263
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: It was just the path happened when I graduated high

264
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 4: school and my mom moved to North Carolina and she's like,

265

360
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: New York feels like a big blur in my head

361
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:25,760

00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: I was.

363
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: It was like going between like struggling but also making

364
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 4: it in a way like.

365
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: And I feel like making it as steps.

366
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 4: It's not just one big thing like people are like,

367
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 4: when was your big break? I'm like, big breaks are

368
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: in pieces, right, YEA, when.

369
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: You book your first commercial, You're like, dude, Then I

370
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 3: booked a cover girl voiceover.

371
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: I did Rihanna's You've Got the Cover Girl commercial, right, yes,

372
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: when she was the cover girl.

373
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: Yes.

374
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 4: I did a ton of voiceovers, like like.

375
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: A ton of voiceovers.

376
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 4: And so it was like steps of like okay, yeah,

377
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 4: the industry is saying yes, yes, but not fully.

378
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah you can't.

379
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 4: I can't leave my job yet, right, And so it

380
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,359

Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it was a valid you you need it.

383
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,159

Speaker 4: like like again, like making it is steps.

385
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,240

443
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:56,399

450
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 4: down the street crying. A lady's like are you okay?

451
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 4: I'm like I did have a boyfriend at the time.

452
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 4: He was great and he's a little older than me,

453
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 4: and he was like, look, I got you. That was

454
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 4: the first time that I had somebody to fall on

455
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: in my life say like I'll.

456
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 3: Take care of you.

457
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 6: Wow.

463
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 3: I can take care of myself. I'm so independent, like

464
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:48,400

Speaker 1: Same. Yeah, no, you can't.

468
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,760

00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: landing what we would say your first big job, are

470
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: so vital, vital, oh my god, because they literally can

471
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: like make or break you, and if it happens too fast,

472
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 2: it can break you. But those little moments really build character,

473
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: they build tenacity, yes, and the.

474
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: Grits, the grit.

475
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 4: I really do believe I can pivot. You ain't gonna

476
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,880

634
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 4: we got to tend something, So right now it's Sisters

635
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 4: in Italy unless it turns into something else.

636
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, c what did it come about?

637
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: Even just from the did you decide like, I want

638
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: to write a story about sisters?

639
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: How did that come about?

640
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 4: So the initial idea was came from me in terms

641
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 4: of I wanted to write something. I am a middle

642
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 4: child and sometimes I feel like the world's on my

643
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 4: shoulders and my family, and I was like, I wanted

644
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 4: to write something where it's also fun and wonderlust while

645
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 4: dealing with like depth, like travel, but also you know,

646
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 4: two sisters who can't agree on anything after their mom

647
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 4: dies and leave them in in Italy and one is

648
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 4: kind of just all over the place, can't.

649
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: Which is Brisa, which is Brisia web Her, and.

650
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: The other one is me.

651
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 4: And it's this idea that you can be raised in

652
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 4: the same household but have two very different outcomes, and

653
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 4: so it's like we either figure it out in Italy

654
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: or we don't. And so I, you know, and then

655
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 4: I brought on a writer, hurt my friend Kemeando Katuno,

656
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 4: to help me co write and kind of re establish

657
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: some things and rework it and we did it together

658
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: and then I had it, and you know, I had it,

659
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 4: and then it didn't work out. I had it for

660
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 4: some years and I was like, okay, because you know,

661
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 4: you don't want to call.

662
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: Your friends exactly.

663
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: You know what you call your friends like, hey, come

664
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,560

665
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what your friends? I get not.

666
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: But no, it's different.

667
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 3: Totally asked somebody to do a movie that different. Yeah,

668
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 3: And so I called him and I was like, look,

670
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 4: He was like yeah. He called me like within the week.

Speaker 1: Make some phone calls and make the phone call.

674
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: I was doing something here in Atlanta. I walked out

675
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 4: of a coffee shop. I get a phone call from Tea.

676
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 4: He's like, we're doing it.

677
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: I wants to do.

678
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 4: It, just like that, just like that on my knees

679
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: and I'm just like screaming.

680
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 3: People are like are you man?

681
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,320

682
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: from the New York.

683
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like.

684
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 2: You know.

685
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 4: And so I had that moment and I was just like, Wow,

686
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 4: something that I created and is being put on the

687
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 4: big screen. And it's different for him because he's never

688
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 4: directed anything that he didn't write, didn't.

689
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: Do everything because Tyler is the writer, creator, producer, director,

690
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: the things, all the things being boom boom.

691

Speaker 8: was like, okay, so we are going to do this

693
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 8: and he told me the month he was like worst.

694
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: I was like, it's happening. Whoa.

695
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: I was like, why can't everything happen like that?

696
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: I know that's the parent Tyler perry Man. That man

697
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: he can put the needle.

698
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,640

00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 4: including what I will accept from family or not, and

950
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 4: including making this new family, yes, you know what I mean.

951
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 3: Like then when you have a child, that's the whole

952
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 3: other thing.

953
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, we're very We grew up very different where

954
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 4: his parents there was no like they don't rely on

955
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 4: him for anything, you know, that's just not how he

956
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 4: grew up and so understanding, not that that my mom

957
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 4: relied on me, but I was like, I made it you.

958
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: And your mom would be right there with you now.

959
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 3: She complained the other day, I don't go nowhere no

960
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 3: more with you.

961
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 4: You know, And I was like, that's because you're yes,

962
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 4: Like I gotta take care of you for real, like.

963
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 3: Your kind a black girl with the rassak and pasta.

964
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, girl, come on, like now, Yeah, it's a difference,

965
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 2: especially when you have your own family.

966
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 4: It's something different difference when you have your own family

967
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 4: and then uh yeah, and so you just have to

968
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 4: learn to set boundaries. And marriage is not easy, you know,

969
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 4: it's and I know people are gonn like it's easy

970
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 4: if it's good, you know, And I'm like, that's it's good.

971
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 3: We we love each other.

972
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 4: It's just you go through constant changes, yes, fixes and

973
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 4: constant like you know, and then change with your child,

974
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 4: and there's just so many dynamics in a household, and

975
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 4: so to hold it all together is like it's it's

976
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 4: a lot.

977
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 3: You know, you've been having time for yourself. But he's

978

Speaker 3: an amazing guy. Yeah, and he treats me well and

979
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 3: more than well.

00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 4: And we are building our lives and continuing to build

00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 4: our lives and happily it's.

00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 2: I love that, and you have a beautiful daughter, Ella,

984
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 2: You created the Adventures of Curiosity Coude and then you

985
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,479
Speaker 2: have a new book. I get it from my mom

986
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 2: and Ella inspired this. Yeah, and I heard you say

987
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 2: earlier that one of your first gigs was doing like

988
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: after school like videos, So I feel like the Currier

989
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 2: Cove kind of ties back into what you're doing in

990
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: the very beginning.

991
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 4: It's so crazy crazy, it's so crazy how and I

992
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,720
Speaker 4: was doing cartoons too, voiceover yes.

993
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 3: So it just it's crazy how it all melds together.

994
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 3: We did.

995
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 4: We started Adventures of Curiosity Cove aocc if you can't

996
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 4: remember Adventures of Curiosity Cove because Ella, when she was younger,

997
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 4: like three four, she would ask us to tell her stories.

998
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 3: Off the top, like off the dome. You don't tell

999
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 3: me a story? Like I was like give me a yeah.

1000
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah with this girl right and she lived down

1001
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 4: you know, it's like I.

1002
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 3: Had to tell these stories and then she's like another one.

1003
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 3: I was like another one.

1004
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: I was like, girl, I don't know storytelling.

1005
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 3: I'm exhausted.

1006
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 4: And so we were like when she got older, she

1007
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 4: started getting into kids podcasts. She'd be like, mom, can

1008
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 4: you turn on my podcast, you know, when we're in

1009
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 4: the car or in the she was in the bath,

1010
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, you love podcasts.

1011
00:46:58,200 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 3: Story, we tell stories.

1012
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 4: Why don't we create something that would be amazing that

1013
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 4: we think we can do really well into a podcast.

1014
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 4: And so we created Adventures of Curiosity Code, which is

1015
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 4: about emotional intelligence, and this little One of the stories

1016
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 4: in there or series is the Curious, this little third

1017
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 4: grader kind of her coming of age story in third grade,

1018
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 4: and then.

1019
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 3: A bunch of other one offs.

1020
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 4: But and then out of that I created you know,

1021
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 4: I got it from my mama on the cover, so yeah,

1022
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 4: it all worked together.

1023
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 6: Yes, it's beautiful.

1024
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: Actually read it this morning and it's such a cute book.

1025
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: And I love how she, Like children do, they often

1026
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: imitate everything they see. Yes, And there was a morning

1027
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: you were making them, you're making the pancakes and she

1028
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,479
Speaker 2: still up the better trying to get the cinnamon, and.

1029
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: You like, just leave, please leave. And then she did

1030
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: the same thing to the kid at school.

1031
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 2: And I loved how the emotional awareness where you're teaching

1032
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 2: her how to apologize and then she in turn does

1033
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: the same thing with the kid at school.

1034
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was so good. I was like, wow, yeah, it's.

1035
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 4: Like we we think, you know, we love to talk

1036
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 4: about how kids are all the best things that kids

1037
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 4: have about us, you know, and I think sometimes we

1038
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 4: don't talk about the challenging things and the things that

1039
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 4: they mirror. Yes, right, And so I wanted to give

1040
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 4: parents a pass to say we all mess like. I

1041
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,879
Speaker 4: wanted to show them we mess up. We all mess

1042
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 4: up and the mom had to actually apologize to the kids.

1043
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 4: I didn't realize how much apologizing I've had to do as.

1044
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 3: A mom, wow to a child. And I always people,

1045
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 3: you know, some people are like.

1046
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 4: Some people think they'll lose their power, and I'm like,

1047
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 4: I am giving her the best power.

1048
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 3: Ever because she has a voice.

1049
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: Yes, come on.

1050
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 4: You know we talk about we want our kids to

1051
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 4: have voices when they get older.

1052
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 3: They don't have when they're younger. It's going to be

1053
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 3: hard to find when they're older.

1054
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: So true.

1055
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,719

Speaker 3: You know?

1182
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 2: These are conversations that we have and like podcasting, like

1183
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 2: how did you do this? Like knowing that you have

1184
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 2: a girlfriend that you can call and the same I

1185
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,640

00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: Give me some guidelines.

1187
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, any time, and that's what we need to do,

1188
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 4: share information because information is power. Yes, right, yeah, And

1189
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 4: so I'm I was so proud when I've read that

1190
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 4: that you did bad, you bought you know, you're part

1191
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 4: of this soccer franchise, and I was just like, you're like, girl, girl,

1192
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 4: you got a journal, you got merch, merch.

1193
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1194
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 3: Man, So yeah, I'm just really proud of you.

1195
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 4: But again, the dream just grows in a different way

1196
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 4: while you continue to do the thing that you've always

1197
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 4: wanted to do.

1198
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: So going that's me exactly. I love that.

1199
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: I remember you said, you just said something about being

1200
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 2: part of an industry that can just throw you away,

1201
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,479
Speaker 2: and that was like after we came in that strike,

1202
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 2: and I told you that too, I said, girl, after

1203
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 2: that strike, I said, I gotta I can't depend on

1204
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 2: this because it gets it's easy to like have all

1205
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 2: this money coming in because acting pays the bills, you know,

1206
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 2: especially when you're on a show that goes for as

1207
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 2: long as our shows are.

1208
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 3: Gone nine yours is gone nine years.

1209
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: Nine seasons. Isn't that crazy?

1210
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 3: Just nine season, nine season.

1211
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: That's a counting time.

1212
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1213
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,240
Speaker 1: Most shows normally stop around five or six.

1214
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 3: If you're lucky, if big, if that's not normal, that's

1215
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 3: law and Order exactly. Like law and Order is like

1216
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 3: twenty crazy, that's probably like crazy anatomy. Like it's very rare,

1217
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 3: very rare. So I keep your job, baby, and keep working.

1218
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: But you have to build to people.

1219
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 2: You have to keep building because they think like, oh,

1220
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 2: this is just the one thing I'm going after.

1221
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: You have to build from that.

1222
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 3: You build from it.

1223
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 4: And and what I love about today is literally you

1224
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 4: can start right now.

1225
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 3: Yes, it doesn't have to look pretty. Nope, it could

1226
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 3: be what it is until you grow. Like if you

1227
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 3: want to do something, literally you can.

1228
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 4: And there's so much access now and information, so much

1229
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna.

1230
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 3: Do everything you know what I mean, and do it well.

1231
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 3: But like you're just I don't know.

1232
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 4: I think you are a complete inspiration to so many

1233
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 4: and to all your friends you and you know it

1234
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 4: made me be like, let me get up, let me

1235
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 4: stop watching this show and go want to write my book? Yeah,

1236
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 4: exactly right, writing, so you're not to just writing and

1237
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 4: creating and like ownership.

1238
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 1: Yes, you know that is so important.

1239
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,760
Speaker 2: And we were talking before we started filming about Tyler

1240
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 2: was the one that really kind of showed us.

1241
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 3: What ownership, real ownership, real ownership looks like, and for.

1242
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 2: Us what it looked like and how because we didn't

1243
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 2: we don't see a lot of people in those positions

1244
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 2: or to know that, hey, no, you should be doing

1245
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 2: this too, and this is how you need to set

1246
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 2: up your deals and when you do your contracts, you

1247
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 2: should be asking for this.

1248
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: And there were so many things.

1249
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 2: Like afterwards, they're like, why is why is this not

1250
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 2: already taking care of them?

1251
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: Like, oh, I didn't know, I know, ask for that,

1252
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: ask for it.

1253
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1254
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 3: And that's the thing.

1255
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 4: When you can call somebody who's in a position of power,

1256
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,120
