44
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,440

46
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: got it. You know. The thing about it is that,

47
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, I've been in entertainment for a while, uh,

48
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, started doing stand up and officially record eighty

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: six and became a television sitcom writer and a producer

50
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: and managing talent. And along the way, I've seen, you know,

51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: the whole dance explosion. I remember Steve already uh uh

52
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: participated in a dance movie with back in two thousand one,

53
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: you know. And and so just to see the evolution

54
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: where where where does dance play? How to dance became

55
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: a part of your life? Ms? Gibson. I mean you're right,

56
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: evolution and explosion are two very relative words to dance.

57
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Right now, in the entertainment industry. But you know, as

58
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: far back as I can remember, I've been dancing. I

59
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: believe that I was dancing in the heavenly realms. When

60
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: I asked my mother to put me in dance school,

61
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: I was very young. I was at six or seven. Um,

62
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: there's no time in my life that I can remember

63
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: not dancing, not feeling the energy of entertainment. You know.

64
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Obviously for me, I attested, as you know, the gift

65
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: and that God has given me and bust me with.

66
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: So it's always been a part of my life. I

67
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: was born in Toronto. At seventeen going on eighteen, I

68
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: took a Grayhound but to New York City where I

69
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: went to study at Alvin Elle American Dad's Theater, and

70
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: from there my career started. I um have had one

71
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: of the best training possible from that school, and you know,

72
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: I stand on the shoulders of greats. And and then

73
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: I went to a heavy d audition where I met

74
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: pop Daddy and I fell in love with hip hop.

75
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: And then I started uh choregraphing for Mary J. Blage

76
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: And that's what really started my choreography career. Because you say,

77
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: you start you've been dancing all your life there was

78
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: a passion that was a low. How did that translate

79
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: to wanting to be able to you know, teach, because

80
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: that's a that's a different skill set because not longly

81
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: you're teaching one person, you tend to have to teach

82
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: a group of people to stay on beat, to to

83
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: to match consistency. Also, if you if you're on tour

84
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: with a star talent, they have to play a role

85
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: in the dance movement. How do how does that translate

86
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: to your abilities? I think that that, uh, as a

87
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: dancer is one thing, but I think you're right the

88
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: evolution of a dancers definitely the choreographer and um, what

89
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: I do as a creative director is making sure all

90
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: of those components come together. You know, when you're dealing

91
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: with the artist, that's about artists development. They work differently.

92
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: You know, not every dancer has the gift to core

93
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: graphs and chre not all choreographers have the gift to

94
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: creative direct or understand the direction aspect of it. So

95
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, for me, I'm very blessed. I have all

96
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: of those kids and they work in tandem to create

97
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: such things as you know, the Bad Boy Reunion Tour,

98
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: the Monster Ball, uh, Nicki Minaj's pink Print tour. So

99
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different components that come together, um

100
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: when designing something from an artist hearing their music, under

101
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: standing their vision than creating the dance deps than understanding

102
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: what that experience is like, what do the clothes feel like,

103
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: what does the lighting feel like? It's an entire evolution

104
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: of a vision because really, when you look at it,

105
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 1: like everybody has a skill set and when one comes

106
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: to you, do they come to you asking you to

107
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: set up the show, set up the format? Are they

108
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: are you work with the client and they said, and

109
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: you know their abilities? Or how does they work? And

110
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 1: when you when you put together a tour? And also

111
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: do you are you involved in the casting of the dancers? Yes,

112
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm always involved in the casting and not everyone has

113
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: that ability. But as a visionary, yes, it's important to

114
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: me to be able to choose who will execute the

115
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: movement and why I'm not someone that just operates off

116
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: of the look of someone. But it's more about the

117
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: gift for me. So yes, I do choose my dancers. Um.

118
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: And it's different with every artist, you know, um, most

119
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: of the artists. Now, yes, I will create direct cord

120
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: up and see the entire vision through. But on the

121
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: way and the journey, No, it wasn't always like that.

122
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: I had to earn that. I understand that I had

123
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: the ability to do that, So it was It's different

124
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: with every client, um, which makes it unique to each situation,

125
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: which means that you have to be very creative. I'm

126
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: on the phone with she's on the phone with this

127
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: interview is Laurie and Gibson. She's talented, one of the

128
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: brilliant UH director, corer choreographers in the game today. She's

129
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: a new judge on the sixteenth season of the Fox

130
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: Dance Competition series. So you think you can dance? Now?

131
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: Of course that title, you know, applies to a lot

132
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: of people, including me, because you know, I think I

133
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: can dance. Or one time in college I was a breakdancer.

134
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: So when I was looking at of course I don't

135
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: qualify for that age group anymore. Eighteen the thirty showcasing

136
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: talents from dance styles from contemporary tap, hip hop, ballroom, animation, breaking,

137
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: and more, all those genres. What gender ascites you the

138
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: most when you're judging? Are we will be judging? I

139
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: mean they're all exciting to me because you know, I

140
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: am trained and I do all types of dance so um,

141
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: including ballroom, chap jazz. So for me, it's just, you know,

142
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: it's a combination of things. I love the passion in

143
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: the person's eyes. They what's in their heart, what's in

144
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: their soul? You know, how much do they love the dance.

145
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: It's not about the style for me as much as

146
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: it is as it is about the dance. Okay, so

147
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: so so is the emotion because I'm I've seen some

148
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: of the preview where I see people flying across the

149
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: air now like Peter Pain. You know that they really

150
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: have elevated the whole concept of you know, the physicality,

151
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: the the the the like city evolution of what you

152
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: can do the art form of dancing, because I have

153
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: to say that dancing is now well maybe it's always

154
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: been in our form, but on the on the show

155
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: there's been there around for sixteen season. They have to

156
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: keep keep challenging the consumer to be able to come back.

157
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: So what what what what surprises you the most about

158
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: this particular dance competition show. I think, like you said,

159
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: they have evolved and they continue to evolve, which is

160
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: important because yes, the dance has always been what it is.

161
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: It's just now we have the opportunity and the platform

162
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: to put it in front of millions and for people

163
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: to just really see how powerful the dance is. We've

164
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: always been athletes, We've always been incredible storytellers and vision marries.

165
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, it's great that we can

166
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: be brought to popular culture the way this show does.

167
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: And you know, now they have the three sixty cameras

168
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: and you can utilize technology to freeze frame a movement

169
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: so you can just see how athletic and how amazing,

170
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: you know, the art of dance really is. And obviously,

171
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 1: you know, if when I was young, I didn't have

172
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: this opportunity. So ultimately, so you think it's the dance

173
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: is such a great, incredible opportunity to get directly in

174
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: front of America and also in the business, and and

175
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, have the ability to showcase your gift very

176
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: early on in your career, champion your move. You decided

177
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: to move to New York and and and and why

178
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: did they? Why did why would this so important to ask?

179
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: Somebody tell you go ahead, follow your dream. I think,

180
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, I have an amazing family. My mom was

181
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: not able to follow her dreams. So from a very

182
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: young age she encouraged her girl to go after their passion.

183
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: It was something that she couldn't do um based on

184
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: the ignorance of you know, her parents and the time.

185
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: So she encouraged us very young without any you know, like,

186
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: without telling us how to do it. She just encouraged

187
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: that mindset. And what that did was it it opened

188
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: the door to our spirit, to our purpose, to our

189
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: connections very early to God and to understanding that voice.

190
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: And I connected very early to my passion. Not a

191
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: lot of people are able to that, but I did,

192
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: and once I did, I just never stopped. I always

193
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: had a clear understanding of something that would later reveal itself,

194
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: which was a limitation in men and what their oppressive

195
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: thought can do to you. I never ever listened to

196
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: authorities that spoke against the passion. And my mom always

197
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: taught me that very early as well, when someone says

198
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: you can't do it, or you're too black, or you're

199
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: too short, or you're there, you know, she made a

200
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: strong very early and understanding that you know are flawed. Yeah,

201
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: I understood very early how to fight it. This is

202
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: Loria and Gibson. She's a new judge on the current

203
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: season sixteen season of The New No shouldn't say knew

204
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: they hit Fox dance competitions here, so you're thinking you

205
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: can dance? The show couldn't be seen on Fox every Monday,

206

Speaker 1: You are a star. Understand that. Uh you know I

209
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: say that to individuals that I bring on the show

210
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 1: because you have a legacy, you have a resume, and

211

Speaker 1: meet you're the real deal. And Loria Gibson, you are

213
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: the real deal. There's nothing hype about you. We'll be

214
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: right back with more from Marsha McDonald. The money making

215
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: conversations don't touch that down. I was looking for a

216
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: better way to check in on our house while I

217
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: was at work and a friend recommended Blink. I was skeptical,

218
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: but decided to give it a shot, and I bought

219
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: a Blink camera system. With our last security system, false alarms,

220
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: wires everywhere, and month bleafees, we couldn't get out of

221
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: my bad. But our Blink system is different their motion

222
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: activated cameras that work inside and outside their wire free,

223
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: easy to set up, and they run on two lithium

224
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: batteries that last up to two years. Total peace of

Speaker 1: mind and Blink camera system started under eighty bucks with

226
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: no subscriptions. We were on vacation and I gotten to

00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: learn of my smartphone that motion was detected at our

228
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: front door. I checked my Blink app and I saw

229
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: it was just my cool new device being delivered. Okay,

Speaker 1: being the man that he is, and also what he's overcome.

350
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: As far as in sports, we all know that the

351
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: position he played with quarterback and still to this day

352
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: is a position that is questioned often that whether his

353
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: players too fast, she's smart enough to play the position.

354
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: And this year we had Kyler Murray the number one

355
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: pick in the draft and they cautioned his height and

356
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: he still used to be the first picking question always questioned.

357
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: Now while while he was he was talking a little

358
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: bit about some of the guests. I want to break

359
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: down a little detail about some of the guests, like

360
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: Eva Longoria. She has a very hit show that just

361
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: aired on the airs on ABC tonight called The Grand

362
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: Hotel and uh, and she's not just on that, she

363
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: executive produced it, she directed it. She just she's an empress,

364
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: like she could just do pretty much anything. So I'm

365
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: really inspired by her. But her heart is always in

366
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: the right place. And then she's always been a major

367
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: donor to Holly Ride. Her and her husband technic absolutely.

368
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: And then who else did you mention? I think you

369
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: said Riva Martin? Riva Martin, I did, I forgot I

370
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: mentioned Riva. Thank you for bringing her up. Riva is

371
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: uh an autism hero. She is, but she does everything

372
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: just like Eva. She's on CNN, she's a you know,

Speaker 1: political political pundit, she's an advocate, she's activist, she's a

374
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: mom and autism mom. Um. She's raising so much funds

375
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: for kids with autism in community like South central l

376
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: A where they're virtually forgotten. Um. We have been partnered

377
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: and friends and on the same mission for many years,

378

Speaker 1: our house while I was at work and a friend

428
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: recommended Blink. I was skeptical, but decided to give it

429
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: a shot, and I bought a Blink camera system. With

430
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: our last security system, false alarms, wires everywhere, and monthly fees,

431
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: we couldn't get out of my bad But our Blink

432
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: system is different. Their motion activated cameras that work inside

433
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: and outside, their wire free, easy to set up, and

434
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: they run on two lithium batteries that last up to

435
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: two years. Total peace of mind and Blink camera system

436
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: started under eighty bucks with no subscriptions. We were on

437
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: vacation and I gotten to learn of my smartphone that

438
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: motion was detected at our front door. I checked my

439
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Blink app and I saw it was just my cool

440
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,880

465
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: are going in business because they have a talent. They

466
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: have the talent, but they don't have the terms. And

467
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: the terms helps you to be able to escalate the

468
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: talent because then you can craft the business model to

550
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: back in like two, fourteen, four and five years ago.

551
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: So he was seven, Um when I saw a Facebook

552
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: post fourteen year old at a black boy at Chicago

553
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: and made fifty thousand dollars off the stock market after

554
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: investment a Nike since you wanted to buy them Jordan's

555
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: so he like anyone who wanted, Um, who want to

556
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: make that kind of money? I asked my mom to

557
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: chiefly how to do that, how to investment stock market?

558
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: At first, she didn't take me seriously, but then I

559
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: started reading up on the stop can they telling her

560
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: about what I was learning. So then she started to

561
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: take me a little more seriously and eventually taught me,

562
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: after taking a course of her off, how to invest

563
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: and trade in the stop warks. So okay, so she

564
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: didn't take you serious because you're seven years old. Go

565
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: I understand that, Mr Jones. There's a reason I wouldn't

566
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 1: take you serious either. You come up there. First of all,

567
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: you don't have no money, so could you invest in

568
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: the stockball? You gotta have money, So first of all,

569
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: you need to go down and get some lollipops. That's

570
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. That's seven years old. You know you

571
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: over were talking about me giving you money so you

572
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,239
Speaker 1: can invest in the stock. All I see is like

573
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: it's just going in the wind. So so understand your

574
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: parents were right not to take you serious. Okay, So

575
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: when did this start taking you serious? Mr? Jones? Remember

576
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: you just seven years old? Remember you seven years old?

577
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: So it took him two years to realize that. Were

578
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: you saving any money at the time when you're doing

579
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: cutting in the yards? Did you give you weekly five dollars?

580
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: Did you started saving that? What were you doing with

00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: your mo I have to make my own money, Okay,

582
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 1: I don't get I don't get along that. Okay. So

583
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: for two years day, what did you do? Did you

584
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,840

00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: the stock market. So she opens me up a brokerage

614
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: account and push the money in there, but she won't

615
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: let me touch it yet. So all right, actually like

616
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: knowing that supposed the back of my head. Okay, So,

617
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: so she's still not trusting you, which is good, which

618
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: is good. Again, she don't want you to just make

619
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 1: a mistake. This is money, and so she's I would

620
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: tell people, I understand where people are cautionary. That's all right, dude,

621
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: She's not spending your money. She's telling you being maybe

622
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: in your situation you felt overly protective of your money. Now,

623
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: what was the first trade that you made with your money?

624
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: The first price? Yes, sir, so basically the first time

625
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: I made actual money in the stock market. Well, you

626
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 1: made you bought stock? Correct? Like, what's that? She said that? Again? Hello? Yes,

627
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: I said, so when you generated income in the stock market,

628
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: what what how did you evaluate that decision to buy

629
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: a particular stock. Well, when I first made money in

630
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: the stock market, how I was able to evaluate it

631
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: is about using the system that um that's been proven

632
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: to work. And I have to select great stocks. And

633
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: the thing about the stock market that you don't have

634
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: to You don't need a whole bunch of stockument me

635
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: like one or two that's are consistently generating intro. And

636
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: so that's what you're saying, Like, for instance, you know

637
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: my stock I have, you know they buy I don't

638
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: know what it used to be when I started buying

639
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: my stock. I had home depot. I knew exactly what

640
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: stocks I have. I don't know who they tell me that.

641
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: They come to me, they say, we have a conservative

642
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 1: line of stock, we have an aggressive line of stock.

643
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: Where would you like to be And that's what I said, Well,

644
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm conservative, and so they're buy my stocks basically on

645
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: that conservative line of thinking. So you're saying that if

646
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: you're just an individual, don't just go out there buying

647
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: a bunch of stocks, focus on a couple or two

648
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: or three. That's what you're saying, right, Yes, that's you've

649
00:36:52,480 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: done your truth on and the truth is right. Companies

670
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: after closing, give yourself some time to think about it

671
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: and h have an enter and at a strategy, and

672

Speaker 1: that he's telling the absolutely truth. I tell people all

677
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: the time, like if if you if you shop it

678
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: on dupot, why are you buying stocking loads? Okay, if

679
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: you buy an Apple, why are you buying an ivy?

680
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 1: And why are you investing in that? Bea buy where

681
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: you feel you see what I was making mistakes us.

682
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: I would. I would listen to these crazy people on TV.

683
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: You know Mad the mad Man, Mad money guy. He's

684
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: led me a straight many times. But it sounded so good.

685
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: That's why I like what he's saying. Is that buy

686
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: after closing, because you know you can buy in the

687
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: morning because they said it's hot, because you see stock move,

688
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: it could move, and then so you buy and you

689
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 1: buy hot and by closing this drops down, you lost money.

690
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: So he's absolutely correct in his philosophy. I'm just letting

691
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: you know if this is a guy who's lost money.

692

Speaker 1: I think I made some money, but I know for

693
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: a fact I've lost some money. Bam bam. Book a

727
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: to understand that you have to work hard to reach

728
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: your dreams. This is RuSHA McDonald. This is money making

729
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: conversations from man McDonald, and money making conversations don't touch that.

730
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: I was looking for a better way to check in

731
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: on our house while I was at work and a

732
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: friend recommended Blink. I was skeptical, but decided to give

733
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: it a shot, and I bought a Blink camera system.

734
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: With our last security system, false alarms, wires everywhere, and

735
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: monthly fees, we couldn't get out of my bad. But

736
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: our Blink system is different. Their motion activated cameras that

737
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: work inside and outside, their wire free, easy to set up,

738
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: and they run on two lithium batteries that last up

739
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: to two years. Total peace of mind and Blink camera

740
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: system started under eighty bucks with no subscriptions. We were

741
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: on vacation and I gotten to learn of my smartphone

742
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: that motion was detected at our front door. I checked

743
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: my Blank app and I saw it was just my

744
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: cool new device being delivered. Hey, we agreed no new

745
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,920

00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,640

780
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: that did tail? Because I have a beard and a mustache. Yeah, so, uh,

781
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: I was just I have someone who's always kind of

782
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: taking pride of my appearance and uh, you know, kept

783
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: a pretty clean haircut and and and and just kind

784
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: of really tried to always present myself, um to the

785
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: best of my ability. And about three and a half

786
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: years ago, a company at a based out of New York,

787
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: but there there ran out of l A approached me

788
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: about kind of being an ambassador for their company. And

789
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: you know, I looked at their products and really liked

790
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: the products, like the team they had behind them. So

791
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: I took out an ambassador role, but then also had

792
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: you know, over the past year kind of taking uh

793
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: some equity and a company as well, and really pushing

794
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 1: it as it's my own. Um. I think the men's

795
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: grooping space is a really an untapped market. UM. I

796
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,720
Speaker 1: feel that, you know, as men, we care about our appearance,

797
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: but it's kind of not manly to speak on it.

798
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: So we're kind of, you know, start restart that conversation.

799
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: You know, grooming yourself is really important. Um. You know,

800
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: I have two young tenor old twin boys that you know,

801
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm teaching them how to become in and grooving them.

802
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: Grooming is a big part of that. So we're just

803
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, restart the conversation that that has

804
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: had several years ago when our when our fathers and

805
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: our grandfathers, you teach our fathers how to you know,

806
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: take care of themselves, and I think that's been lost

807
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: to late. So we're trying to restart that conversation. Now.

808
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: When you say that, is that from the standpoint of

809
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: an athlete because casual wear took over, you know, where

810
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: you wearing a suit at Easter Suit, all that stuff

811
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: kind of went out the window. Are you talking about

812
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 1: trying to elerate that game? Well, you know, your shaw

813
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: come out there with a suit all just like dad,

814
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: with a little three a little vast a little town.

815
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: I think, I think that it's a while and then

816
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: I think over the coast of course of my career,

817
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: I want to say, uh, you know, mid two thousands,

818
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: late two thousands, B M B A and forced you know,

819
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: a different type of dress code, you know, really bringing

820
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: you know, kind of throwing casual were out for the

821
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: most part and being more business attire. Um. And I

822
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: think once the EBA started doing that, it kind of

823
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: caught on in other extremes and of the professionals as well. UM.

824
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: So it's kind of a copycast situation from that standpoint.

825
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: But I'm both, you know, off the cord, I'm very

826
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, sweatsuits and in shorts, um, but also like

827
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: to dressed up, you know when the occasion calls sport. Well,

828
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: it's really cool because you know, I'm a big fan

829
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: of the NBA and I to the it's a big deal.

830
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: Not just to see the players initors initor arena. You know,

831
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: it's almost like a fashion show. You know, they make

832
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: a big deal like the past, the shirt who right

833
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 1: when when when Lebron what those that that short suit

834
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: the right it blew it up? So so what what's

835
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,399
Speaker 1: your fashion? What's your fashion moment? There? Sir? That well,

836
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: what what's what? What's your style? They're back? What style

837
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: are you bring to the tape um? Like I said,

838
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: I'm in between. I like to be business comfortable, so

839
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: to speak. You know, I I do enjoy putting on

840
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: suits from time to time, but for the most part,

841
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: I just you know, I really like to be cleaned

842
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: up and present myself. Well, I don't do it as

843
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: much now that I'm retired because you know, kind of

844
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: my homebody now and my kids and all I focus

845
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: on this business don't want to do get a chance

846
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: to step out and you know, throw a suit on.

847
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: I definitely enjoy doing that. Now, this is interesting because

848
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: you almost like a little black shark tank because you've

849
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: got all these businesses, you know, So how because what what? What?

850
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: Because can you tell me about your staff? Because I

851
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: know you're not the one man operation? So how is

852
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: this all being managed by you and overseen by you?

853
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: I actually have a three person staff. Three other women

854
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 1: besides myself kind of helped me keep everything in order

855
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: and everything that I either invested into or became an

856
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: equity partner owner and or just stuffed it up. I'm

857
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: into in general, um, like I said, the huge uh

858
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: men's grooming line. Like I said, I take pride to

859
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: my appearance. Um, the active dreamer's betting where we can

860
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: pretty much turn any player into a into a comforter

861
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: or a fellow. Um and something that my kids loves,

862
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And that's not tell me

863
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: again and you said any player, you know, I gotta

864
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: I gotta have a shack shack uh in in any

865
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: any separate deals, separate deals with retired players, and some

866
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: of those guys are harder to getting out is but

867
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,959
Speaker 1: any current players by the turning into a bet set

868
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: or pillow. And now something my kids really enjoyed. Um.

869
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: Partnering up with very tall productions. You know, TV is

870
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: something I've you know, always liked into a separate interest

871
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: in and kind of more behind the scenes. Um, so

872
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: that's something I enjoy it do. And then Liquidology by

873
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: health Bar. We have three brick and mortar stores up

874
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: North and Sacramento and it's it's kind of our version

875
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 1: of a juice bar Starbuck. So we kind of failed

876
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: the new millennials are more Houston coffee and it's really

877
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: a big health kick. But we do all fresh fresh juices, um,

878
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: you know, wrap salads, um, the Ahi bowls, all that

879
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: kind of healthy things. So we kind of look at

880
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: it as kind of a Starbuck situation to come in,

881
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: bringing your laptop, thinking out your friends, you know, eat

882
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: some healthy food and get some stuff done. Um. I'm

883
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: also um an activist on cannabis, firm believer in cannabis

884
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: and and and the powers of the plant. What if

885
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: you do to help not only adults, you know, but

886
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: children from a CBD standpoint, a way, you know, any

887
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: way to cure these illnesses that we're pumping people full

888
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: of opioids about. So everything you said, everything I have

889
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: my hands and I'm very passionate about out the day

890
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: to day uh situation anyway, So it's not it's not

891
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: really worked. It it's something I enjoy to do. But

892
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: if does take time to you know, manifest these things

893
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: and make them possible. Now, Mad, you know you're pretty

Speaker 1: are your own man. You've been a teammate all your life, okay,

917
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: and it's time to not It's time to be you.

00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: It's time to be Matt what Matt wants to do.

919
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: Because I'm telling you right now, you can carry any

920
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: show you want because you have the ability to talk,

921
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: You have the ability from it and see it. And

922
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: I really think it's important. You already got the sports

923
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: that you're doing Fox and ESPN, you're doing local to

924
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: national feeds and all that stuff. You got that. But

925
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: I think it's time for the world to hear you,

926
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: just like you're being hurt on my show, the different

927

Speaker 1: layers of maturity, Uh, that you are intense. Like you said,

928
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: you you didn't run from the fact that there's a

929
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: difficult life for your boys. You said, I think that's

930
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. That I have to be able to

931
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: deal with that for me to be able to deal

932
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,439
Speaker 1: with the nuances of God and my boys through life.

933
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: You're not running from that. And I think and I

934
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: feel that that's really important. I know you've never met me,

935
