And I guess I was the best to 60 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: do it because I booked commercial and I was doing 61 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: and then Miller Lite was just a beer commercial, just 62 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: the girl who was like the cute bartender.

Well, congratulations, 65 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: that's a skill set. And like I said, we met 66 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: on the sitcom many years ago when I was writing 67 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: for Doing Consultant right before r at the same time period, 68 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: I was managing Steve Harvey comedy. You do comedy, you 69 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: do drama. Talk about that. And now you're on a 70 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: very successful drama comedy on Netflix starring my man Jamie Fox, 71 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: because I was co executive on the Jamie Fox Here's 72 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: along with Bentley Evans. I know Ken Winnenham. I know 73 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: so many people in that show. When I saw the 74 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: cast and the production sheet, let's go, I need to check. 75 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: I need to check. I know all these people. Where 76 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: are you at? Exactly? Know everybody? So talk about your 77 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: ability and that's just about your talent. And that's why 78 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: I really wanted to interview you, because it's so diverse, 79 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: it's so it's so it allows for you to not 80 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: be intimidated by the audition opportunity. Talk about that ability 81 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: to correct from drama to go to sitcom because they 82 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: all have different shades. They do have different shades, and 83 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: I like you, you're speaking from an actor and producer standpoint. 84 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: It's like it's it's you call it shades, and in 85 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: the actors we call it tone. So the tone of 86 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: a drama is totally different than the tone of a comedy. 87 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: And comedy you're speaking faster, you're moving faster. The dialogue 88 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 1: is is meant to want to punch and then onto 89 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: the next joke. When it comes to dramas, you know, 90 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: it's like you have to set up the storyline, you 91 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: have to deliver it differently, you have to deliver it 92 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: slower a lot of times. So I think going back 93 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: and forth between you know, The Parkers a long time ago, 94 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: and we did The Parkers, fast forward into Silicon Valley, 95 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: fast forward into Wild and out with your stand up 96 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: comedy all the way to you know the movie I 97 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: did with TV Jakes, Women that are loose, all different tones, 98 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: but still it's always the root of understanding the character 99 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: and really bringing it to life based on their backstory, 100 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: their age, and their circumstances, and once you kind of 101 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: delve into that, then you can just kind of play 102 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 1: with wherever the character is going and where you feel 103 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: like they should be at that moment in the scene. 104 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: And then you had and I remember, it's so funny. 105 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: As I hear you talk, you was in there a 106 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: movie with Mike elp So with the Jenkee Promoters or 107 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: something like Promoters.

I'm a fan of the network, 184 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: streaming network because one thing is airs in a hundred 185 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: and nanny countries. And the reason I say that, you know, 186 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: I've I've written down sister, sister, I've written on Jamie Fox, 187 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: I've written on the parents who would And we've always 188 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: been categorized as a black sitcom. And guess what we 189 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: were regulated either to low watted stations, a non major 190 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: network station and so now and even in black movies, 191 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, we were premier.

Okay, now here's my history. 204 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: You know, I was a co executive producer to the 205 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: Jamie Foxx show that was on the w B busy 206 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: and was hired me. Okay and uh and that just 207 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: before I went over to The Parkers. That's where I 208 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: met you. So that's a blessing and that I have 209 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: have a twofold relationship with you. With Jamie so perfect. 210 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: With Keening winning Ham, I know him from working on 211 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: just various sitcomm when he was cutting his teeth as 212 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: a director. And so that's the beauty of it. I'm sure. 213 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure so many names over there. Stacy Evans, I'm 214 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: sure she's over there as well. That's my girls that 215 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: so many people on The Parkers. I love Stave, Stacy Evans, Bentley, 216 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: ken Winningham. It was really a family dynamic because I've 217 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: worked with Bentley on other projects. Of course, Stacy, you 218 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: know with the Parkers, who is not a part of this, 219 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: but she's so supportive and so amazing. And David Allen 220 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: Greer works with Jamie Fox. I've known Jamie for ten years. 221 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: I've known Jonathan Kite for many years. It's all just 222 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: a circle, and when you watch us on camera, I 223 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: definitely feel like you you feel that because it's like, 224 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: who doesn't go to Jamie Fox's house and hang out 225 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: and go to party that he has. And I kind 226 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: of tell people his parties are iconic. So you haven't 227 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: seen each other in a while, you can always see 228 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: ech other. Jamie Fox do so many parties. He had 229 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: a swinging gate. It just fell off. That's that's how 230 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: many parties he through. He just lead the gate open. 231 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: They just they just fell on the ground and just 232 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: that's how many parties even throw it. But this this 233 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: is a big party on Netflix. It's called Dad stopping 234 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: bar embarrassing me. Yeah, I know Jamie. He goes off 235 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: scripts sometimes he wants to improv. I know him well. 236 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: So how do you react to this amazingly gifted young 237 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: man who goes off script but continues to move to 238 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: comedy forward? And you have to make a little small 239 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: adjustments to not bust out laughing, not bust out laughing 240 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: and holding the script content moving forward. Talk about the 241 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: experience of working with this brilliant young man. It is 242 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: truly the definition of a master at work. He's a genius. 243 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: I find him to be one of the most people, 244 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: the most successful people and talented people I've ever met. 245 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he sings, he writes, he produces, he directs, 246 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: he plays music. He's a comedian, he's a dramatic actor. 247 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: There's nothing he can't do. So when you're on set 248 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: with him and he dd from the script, you gotta 249 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: roll with the punches because that might be a better 250 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: version of what was written there. And so many times 251 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: in the script and in the show that you're gonna see, 252 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of moments that they left in there 253 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: that were completely organic that Jamie did that, I did that, 254 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: David Allen Brier did that, Jonathan did that, Kylie Drew 255 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: did that got kept in because it was just organically 256 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: in the moment and someone's reaction was just perfect on 257 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: the spot for a new thing that they actually hit 258 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: you with because your reaction was different. Because you know, 259 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: in acting, where you do takes, you do take three, four, 260 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: sometimes five times on certain shows you might hit that 261 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: one line that's different than what you thought it was 262 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: gonna be in your whole reaction changes, and that's the money. 263 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: So dealing with Jamie is just dealing with the master. 264 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: Knowing how to you know, just be right next to 265 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: him and just go right into the to the mix 266 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: of it. And I find him just to be so 267 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: so incredible at that that how do you not get 268 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: lessons for someone who is so good at it? Like 269 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: I don't find anyone more funny than him, but also 270 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: more diverse than him in the world of winning a 271 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: Grammy or are winning you know, like an Oscar recording 272 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: amazing albums, but his voice is like to die for. 273 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: So being next to him as his sisters is unbelievable. 274 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: You know.

You 324 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: might want to listen to me here or there, and 325 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: we could both give you advice because you don't know 326 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: at all. And I like when he does actually ask 327 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: us for certain advice and when he listens to us sometimes, 328 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: and then when he doesn't listen to us, it's kind 329 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: of like, oh, well, we told you so, you know, 330 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: we can just say that she should have listened to 331 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: the woman. You know. It was really interesting about watching 332 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: his career and watching the original hit sitcom that he 333 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: had on called The Jamie Foxx Show. This seems like 334 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: a grown version of that show because he was a 335 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: single guy, you know, worked at the hotel, and now 336 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: he's business owner and he has parent responsibilities and so 337 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: he has a system who who's who helps keep him straight, 338 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: you know, And and the things I love about the 339 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: show this is it's a black show. And I say 340 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: that in a complimentary way because it talks about black 341 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: values and her important these black values resonate. And also 342 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: it's really cool something to storylize that. And I would 343 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: tell you this portion, you know, if I wasn't laughing, 344 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: I was smiling the old time I was watching this. 345 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: Nice you did you get that like feeling of like 346 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: watching a family and saying, wow, this makes me feel good. 347 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: And even the moments where you're like, no, he didn't know, 348 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: she didn't You're like, oh that was though. Like you 349 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: feel like every episode you might have learned something about 350 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, one of the characters that you didn't know before, 351 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: but you also feel like you know someone that you 352 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: can relate to that exactly is a reflection of the 353 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: person that you're seeing on screen right absolutely, And that's 354 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, is like, you know because you know 355 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: after the third because you know, I come in because 356 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: I know Jamie, and I came in with an open 357 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: mind because I don't read any of the information. I 358 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: know David Alagre as a fool. Okay, I know some 359 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: foolness and it's gonna come out. It's my but good 360 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: foolishness because it's gonna be funny. I know Jamie cars 361 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: She's gonna break the third, fourth fifth wall. And in 362 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: this show, he talks to you. That's a really cool thing. 363 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: He talks to you, so be prepared. I don't think 364 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: I'm giving away anything, but he talks to the audience, 365 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: which is a really cool thing. And even even even 366 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: David al group the buses. It's it's relatable. I like 367 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: to say that. It kind of reminds me of even 368 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: like the Bernie Max Show. Bernie Mack was his father 369 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: on the show, you know what I'm saying, and he 370 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: had those moments where he's engaging with the crowd because 371 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: it's like sometimes you gotta say, self, let me talk 372 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: to you for a second. So whether somebody else is 373 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: listening or on the other end of it, he's talking 374 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: to himself and talking and thinking out loud. You know, 375 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: even though the you know, the the audience is understanding 376 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: the reflection that they're seeing, it's still him talking through. Okay, 377 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: what scenario, this could go back, this could go right, 378 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: what do I do? And then just going with it. 379 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: And then of course we all have moments where we 380 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: make the wrong decisions, but we're all there to pick 381 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: each other up even in between those moments. Now, he's 382 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: an interesting thing about it, the dynamics of the characters. 383 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: You know, the daughter they're talking about the daughter. You know, 384 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: the daughter is not a real life version of his 385 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: real daughter, but it's Lucid Base. Yeah, listening to the Base, 386 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: there's a Lucid Base series. Because he was an actual 387 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: entertainer in real life. It wasn't a business on in 388 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: real life, So would you sit taking We all want 389 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: to work, you know, but we also wanted opportunity to shine, 390 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: the opportunity to show your singing in this series. Did 391 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: that Did they excite you? Oh my god, it excited 392 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: me because I felt like that was that was absolutely 393 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: Jamie's doing. And I was just telling someone the other 394 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: day and you can see this on Instagram and so 395 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: many people have videos of it, you know, a couple 396 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: of months ago, and actually not even a couple of 397 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: months ago. This point was like a year and a 398 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: half ago, even before we did the show, before I 399 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: even knew I was going to be a part of 400 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: the show. Jamie had one of those big house parties 401 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: at the band in the middle of his living room, 402 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Jamie was like, you know, 403 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: play this song. So they started playing No Diggity the band. 404 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: It's like, don't, don't, don't, no no, they started playing 405 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: this song. So next thing, you know, all of his friends, 406 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: all his background singers and jamming this song. Jamie says, 407 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: I got a thousand dollars from whoever knows the rat. 408 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: First the Queen Penn's part or no Dignity, and I'm like, 409 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: wait a minute. I'm in my head like, yo, I 410 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: know I got this. So I tapped him. I'm like 411 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: I got it, and he's like Coors Jacoma, ladies and 412 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: gentlemen Shakoma and sends the Jamie I mean, she says 413 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: that she knows the Queen Penn verse. Next, you know, 414 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: the band kind of took it down a little, so 415 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: I started living. At first, I'm singing, so he's taking 416 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: my all. She's probably gonna start singing. I hit it 417 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: with a rat verse and I'm singing in between. The 418 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: whole party loses it and I'm like, oh my god, 419 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: I guess it's it. He's all out. Everybody said hey, 420 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: uh all this kind of stuff in the middle of 421 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: his house. Two months later, I get the call about 422 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: the show. Of course I auditioned, but it was just 423 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: one audition and then I end up getting the role. 424 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: And then I'm seeing in one of the episodes that 425 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm singing. Jamie was like, oh no, we had to 426 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: let you say, like, oh no, no, we made sure 427 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: we had to do that because like, you're too talented. 428 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: We gotta put that in so a praying that of course, 429 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, if all goes well and we do end 430 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: up getting blessed with more seasons, that we're going to 431 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: really tap into a lot more of that stuff.
