00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: How you doing, sir? Thank you so much, sir. I

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: am well and glad to be here. Well, you know,

45
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: first of all, I've seen the series twice. It was

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: when it first came out, it was trending and still

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: is trending on Netflix at the top top You know,

48
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: you do a top ten if you have don't have

49
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: a Nextflix account. When you're poding up top ten, that

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: means everybody's watching it. And usually how it works is

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: this is a series. It's six episodes, so as people

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: watch another explot, they go next to it and it

53
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: causes your serious to trend, which bolds well because that's

54
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: what Netflix want, and Voices of Fire is um I

55
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: would call like an audio testimonial. Can I say that?

56
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I think you can? I think I think that's that's

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: a good, uh good way to put it. And Uh.

58
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: If I had that have a different title, the title

59
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: workshop Voices of Fire, it could have been this is

60
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: my story, that could have been the title, um feel

61
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: the Voice. But the name of this series is Voices

62
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: of Fire, and that works out just fired. I'm just

63
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: telling you, Bishop, it took me on a journey and

64
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: allowed me to think about my life, think about the

65
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: expectations people have for you, for yourself, the setbacks that

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: you achieve in life. And I got emotional at times.

67
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Tell me your goal because because you think you hit

68
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: all the points with me, that's wonderful. I am so

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: glad to here and just amaze that you were able

70
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: to take the time to do it twice all six episodes.

71
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Listen, we aim to touch lives.

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: My whole goal. It's just spread the good news about

73
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. And so I've come to realize that people

74
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: don't always want to hear you preach over the pulpit,

75
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: and so music is a medium that we can utilize,

76
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: a tool that we can utilize that transcends all walks

77
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: of life. Everybody's uh loves music, and so we found

78
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: that that was a good way to get the message out.

79
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: And so I think that that has been achieved. But

80
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: in the process, I believe that the Lord does what

81
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: he does, and he touches lives. He takes one one

82
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: incident and he causes a different outcome in everybody's life.

83
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: And so when we came together and we began to

84
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: sing and to to to worship as we did, and

85
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: to even record the testimonies of so many individuals, man,

86
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: let me tell you, it was amazing and it just

87
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: invoked all kinds of emotions. Well, Bishop Um, this series

88
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: when it was when it was brought to me, I

89
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: had to bring it to show the fact I want

90
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: to get Larry, who is your music director? I want

91
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: to get paid who is your vocal coach? And my

92
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: boy Patrick, you know, he's the he's the comedy relief,

93
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: but he's also a brilliant choirmaster. Okay, let's don't be

94
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: real about it. When Lynette walked out from me said, uh,

95
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: she can sing and she find he's real. He's real.

96
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: Love it very much. And so you know, because you

97
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: said that in your in the documentary about sometimes people

98
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: don't want to hear you preach it. Sometimes you have

99
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: to do. You have to tell the story of the

100
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: gospel a different way, and music always connects with people.

101
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: But but this was a local project called Hampton Rose.

102
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: Tell everybody about Hampton Rhodes, Virginia. Well, Hampton Rhodes, uh

103
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: is a wonderful place to reside. Of course, it's uh

104
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: heavily military in our area, and so it's transient. We

105
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: have people who come from all parts of the world

106
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: uh to reside here. They're here for a season and

107
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: then they're gone. Some people take up their roots or

108
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: make plant their roots here and um it's always been

109
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: a musical area. Were seated right here on the eastern seaboard,

110
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: uh right, you know, below New York and d C.

111
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: And right above North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and all

112
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: of these places are very very musical places. But it

113
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: makes Virginia, it makes Hapton Roads almost like a melting

114
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: pot or um, as they say in New Orleans, a

115
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: big pot of gumbo. We have a little bit of everything,

116
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: and we've produced some of the nation's greatest artists that

117
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: there ever was, and so I'm very very proud of that.

118
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: And um, music just kind of flows throughout the angs here.

119
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: You know. The interesting thing about because I've been in

120
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: the area a lot. You know, Steve Harvey and ire

121
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: the Chrystler Hall. I know exactly. I've been on that

122
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: stage Chrysler Hall, so I know the brilliance, that facility,

123
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: the quality. I know that community is sold a lot

124
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: of many a concert down there in that Chrysler Hall

125
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: area and great food, a very uh community driven area

126
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: down there. But you talk. The thing I want to

127
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: talk about this series is that you got me emotional.

128
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: Then you taught me something a boy sopranos, altos and tennis.

129
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: And then these three individuals I mentioned their name earlier,

130
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: Peggy the vocal code, Patrick chef mouth choir master, excuse me,

131
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: and then the more Larry talk about how they came

132
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: together in the project. Because we know about for real

133
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: superstar rapper, and I also learned two things about for

134
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: Real Off stage he's a for real All stage, he's

135
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: a farrel because stay that star power takes over stay.

136
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 1: He's humble, he's a he's a he's a great person

137
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: both places, but it's different. He understands his position in life.

138
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: On stage he's a superstar. Off stage he's a humble,

139
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: engaged individual. But you had three people that help you

140
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: carry this magnificent series. Let's talk about them absolutely. And

141
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: that's an easy thing to do, because for me it

142
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: was a no brainer. Um. Most of us have worked

143
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: together all of our lives. Uh. Peggy was one of

144
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: the individuals who gave me, UH, my first opportunity of

145
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: exposure with some of the greater stars that would come

146
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: to the Hampton Roads area. As I played music most

147
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: of my life piano and organ, and I was able

148
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: to play for her choir, legendary choir, the Philharmonics and UM.

149
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: And so she gave me the opportunity to work with

150
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: him at maybe the age about fifteen years old. And

151
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: so UM, I have a long lasting relationship with her.

152
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: She's one of the best at what she does. And UM,

153
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: of course, Patrick Riddick we grew up in the same church.

154
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: He's younger than I, but we both attended the same church,

155
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: New Jerusalem Church of God in Christ where our late

156
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: founder was the late Bishop Barnett Carl thur Good, the

157
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: man installed so much in all of us and UM,

158
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: and so working with him there at the church, I

159
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: knew his ability, his competence, and UH, I knew that

160
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: he was going to be the one for the job.

161
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: And then Larry George, a young man. He's my own

162
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: pastor of music there at Faith World Ministry, and so

163
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: we couldn't do anything without him. I've watched him take

164
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: a group of singers that were mediocre and just turned

165
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: them into stella voices, and so he was a no

166
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: brainer for me to pull them all together to assist

167
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: me in this project. I have my own musical career,

168
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: but for some time after I started preaching, I put

169
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: it on the chef shelf. And and and and later it

170
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: was my nephew that helped me to understand, No, the

171
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: world needs what you have to offer, and we need

172
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: to come together and do something to demonstrate that. And

173
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: and here's where we are. We are you you you

174
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: you landed in a great place. And you know, Netflix

175
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: is an amazing storyteller, because there was Rodney Scott. I

176
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: discovered him and that barbecue, his ability to bar based

177
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: on that storytelling, that Chef series. Now we got a gospel.

178
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: Here's the thing that interests me the most because it's

179
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: a diverse gospel. I got the fact that you could

180
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: have easily said, you know, I'm gonna get the best

181
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: black gospel singers, but that wasn't the goal of this series.

182
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: The goal of a series was to create a diverse

183
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: so you can pull everybody in. Everybody can understand that

184
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: they can hear the word, seeing the word, and participate

185
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: technical doctors walking through the steps of why that was

186
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: important to you? That was very important to me because

187
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: I have a vision of building or or forming a

188
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: multicultural church. And so for me, having acquired that just

189
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: consisted of people who looked like me was not going

190
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: to help me to accomplish that goal. And so I

191
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: envisioned the acquire that was comprised of people from all

192
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: walks of life. And uh, and I guess my whole

193
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: thought was, you know, we we know in the Black

194
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: gospel choir. You we know about the a launching, and

195
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: we know that the powerful individuals that sing. But I

196
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: was more interested in pulling in Caucasians and Latinos and

197
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: and people from different ethnicities that were also Orientals, that

198
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: were also equally talented, equally anointed. And I felt like

199
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: if we put them together in a choir, when people

200
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: saw people that look like them or saw individuals who

201
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: resembled them, it would be an open invitation for them

202
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: to come and to worship it, to be a part

203
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: of what we were doing at Faith World and and

204
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: and so far, I must say it has worked it

205
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: as we have accomplished that goal. I've been contacted by

206
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: people from all over the world, and uh, I would

207
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: have never imagined. I would have never imagined. I was

208
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: thinking on one level. But when you get calls from

209
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: Brazil and Switzerland and Norway and and um Sri Lanka

210
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: and so many other places. Uh, it really just blows

211
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: your mind that God is really able to do exceeding

212
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: abundantly above all that we can ask to think according

213
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: to the power that works in us. I'm talking to

214
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Bishop of Ezeko Williams other I was called the hit series,

215
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: popular series, the trending series Voices on Netflix. You know

216
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: you used the word gumble earlier, and I I thought

217
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: ran through my mind when I watched the series, and

218
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: I want to be an insultant and use the word gumble,

219
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: But you use the word gumble. Guess what. I'm from Houston, Texas.

220
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: I love gumbo. Okay, So when I when when when

221
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: I see you know, whether Maria, you know dan Lee,

222
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: you know the Pucky twins, you know all coming together? Ilana.

223
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: What people need to understand about the series is that

224
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: this is this series is bigger than music. It's about life.

225
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: It's about what we need right now when we come

226
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: out of twenty and going to one. We need to

227
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: understand that we can all eat at the same table,

228
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: because that's what happens. People feel that when you look different,

229
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: that you don't have the same sensibilities, the same eating habits,

230
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: the same lifestyle needs. And what this series did for me,

231
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: I believe you put some people in an uncomfortable environment

232
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: and they became comfortable, and that's where the anointing part

233
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: comes out. Correct. Yes, yes, yes, absolutely, and all things

234
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: work together for the good of them that love the Lord.

235
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, when we put those individuals together,

236
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: we did not know initially that or what their story

237
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: was or how amazing their stories were. But God knew,

238
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: and so it was an opportunity for us to work together,

239
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: to get to know one another. And there was a

240
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: love that U began to develop between the choir members

241
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: and the directors, and we became one big family. And no,

242
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: they didn't say, okay, Bishop Williams, we want to become

243
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: members of your church necessarily, but that was a love

244
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: that super see them even that kind of commitment, And uh,

245
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a wonderful thing because um, God has

246
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: the ability to erase all the boundaries and all of

247
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: all of the lines of division. And in a time

248
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: when our country has seen so much division, I thought

249
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: it was amazing that this series came out, um at

250
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: the time, during our election and all of that, when

251
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: there was so much division working in our country, this

252
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: series came out to show that we can work together.

253
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: There are still people who don't see color, but we

254
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: just see souls, we see lives, we see individuals um

255
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: that are just like us, just different skin and and

256
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: it all makes sense to me, It really did. And

257
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: so let me let me set the tone for everybody

258
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: who have not seen the series and have seen this series,

259
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just bringing back good feelings, a good time,

260
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: good news. As they said, I'm bringing back good news.

261
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: And you have four black people here, well five you

262
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: want to clean forever? Who say I want to bring

263
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: together mixed voices? Because a a Lana, she was fifteen

264
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: years old. She only has one ear, so she can

265
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: only really hear fifty of the sound. She's white at tag. Okay,

266
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: I was just gonna and then you have dan Lee.

267
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: Who are I say that was the one that was

268
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: gonna make me cry? But I'm sure you guys cried

269
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: a lot too. So when she did just Jesus Loves Me,

270
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: I went, Okay, Sure, a song I know I've sung

271
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: in my life so many times. But why is this

272
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: song affecting me? I'm gonna ask you that question, Bishop,

273
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: Why did that song when she sunk it dan Lee

274
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: affect me? Well? Because she she sang that song from

275
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: a place of sincerity. She sang that song from a

276
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: place of experience. Um. We don't know everybody's story, We

277
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: don't know everybody's walk ofme life, but I can imagine,

278
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: um that she's had her challenges and as we all

279
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: have experienced rejection and many different things in life, and

280
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: to come to a place where, um, she understands that

281
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: regardless of what I've been through, regardless of what I've

282
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: had to deal with in life, regardless to to to

283
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: the different hills and valids and mountains and low places

284
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: that Jesus loves me. When you come to that reality,

285
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: when you come to that place of awareness, that there's

286
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: nothing that you can do that will cause him to

287
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: not love you, or that will UM prevent his love

288
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: in your life. It's a wonderful place to be alive.

289
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: And and and I think that's where she was um

290
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: and when the tears were flowing and she says Jesus

291
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: loves me, and I don't want to giveaway too much,

292
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: but when but when she says everybody deserves to be loved,

293
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: I cannot watch that scene without tearing up. I get it.

294
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: I get it, and and that's a message that we

295
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: want the world to get. I'm gonna tell everybody. I

296
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: spoke to the bishop prior to the interview so I

297
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: can get it out of my system because I knew

298
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: that if I revealed this on the show, how to

299
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: slow down and had to take some moments together myself,

300
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: because not only her rose when she saw Yeah, she

301
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: took me there, good old girl out of Houston, Texas

302
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: country as you can get right, and you know Marcus

303
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: took me there. When you hear his story, because I

304
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: can't tell you this story, you need to watch the series.

305
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: But everybody has a testimony the tells them why they

306
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: walked through these doors and why they were chosen because

307
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: there were three thousand applicants Okay, three hundred were cut

308
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: down to three hundred, and they came in and we

309
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: saw a part of these stories. Now, the part of

310
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: this story is that what you had to deal with

311
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: in in your compadres, I want to say, because y'all

312
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: had to see it all, we only saw a version

313
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: of that. Where were you guys that emotionally doing this

314
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: whole journey? Bishop? Well, it was very difficult. I think

315
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: it was hard for for everyone involved, but it was

316
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: difficult for me because, um, the talent was so good.

317
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if you had to score from one to

318
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: a hundred for each individuals, um we had out of

319
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: the three hundred, we probably had two hundred one hundreds.

320
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: So at that point, you know, you have to make

321
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: some decisions, and it can't just be based on their

322
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: musical ability. That becomes very difficult because you seeing everybody's

323
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: eyes and you hear in everyone's voice that this is

324
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: something that they've dreamed, dreamt about, and this is something

325
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: that they've wanted to do, uh for so very very long,

326
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: and they're right here on the at the brink of

327
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: their their dream coming true, and you have to decide

328
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: will you make it? Uh? Will we send you home?

329
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: It's a very very difficult place to be in, and

330
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: we labor greatly uh in that and and and there

331
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: were sometimes of frustration, um that there were even individuals

332
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: that that the other said, hey, we gotta let them go.

333
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: That I even went back. It's not shown on the video,

334
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: but I even went back and said, can't we give

335
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 1: them a one more chance? Is there anything else we

336
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: can do? My heart, my heart was very very very

337
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: attached to much of what was taken place because you

338
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: say it at the beginning, no callbacks, one shot to

339
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: showcase your talent. That's right, absolutely and and and trust me,

340
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: I was reminded of that several times during the process

341
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: as I tried to bother and reason uh with individuals

342
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: concerning other thingers, I was reminded, you know, you know,

343
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: we gotta what what what did for rel say, um,

344
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: we want to acquire full of unicorns? And so um,

345
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: that made the difference, That made the difference because you

346
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 1: said everybody was a winner. This voice is different styles,

347
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: cultural difference, and you want to mail that into one

348
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: giant unicorn, which I felt was accomplished, but it's broken

349
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: down each series. The first three episodes are to me

350
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: the most emotional part of the series. Don't get it.

351
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: Wrongs are there too, because you get to know the people,

352
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: you get to hear that story, you get to see

353
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: that that passionate singing that coming from the you know

354
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: he and Ki Ki and a classical apple training. You know,

355
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: you talk about Damien and his uh, his attempts with

356
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: his life and how I went sideways several times. And

357
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: because I read dan Lee uh you know Jasmine, you

358
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: know when she auditioned for the first time in front

359
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: of her real and again doubting herself like she doubted

360
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: herselves so many times in her life. And that's why

361
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm recommended people to see this because you know, I

362
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: created money making conversation because I always tell people that,

363
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: you know, there's as so many opportunities to be great

364
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: or seek that opportunity, and we don't do it. And

365
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: that's what this series exposed because a lot of people

366
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: are looking for that second third or the or the

367
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: return from a walkaway moment that they missed out on.

368
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, you know dam is one of those people,

369
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: you know, and that's really what's enlightening and inspiring to me.

370
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: So there is a strong level of inspirational it's for

371
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: Rachel in this series as well, correct Biship, that's right, absolutely,

372
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: there's a strong level of inspiration and and and that

373
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: actually was kind of where it boiled down to in

374
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: the selection of some of those difficult choices, those difficult

375
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: choices that we had to make against selecting singers um

376
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: when they had the talent and they had it all

377
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: going for them, then we had to go to the

378
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: place of saying, but who moves the audience the most?

379
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: Who who brings the spirit with them? You know? And

380
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: so that spiritual emotional um element was was very important

381
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: as well. Here's here's a fun part about the whole

382
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: series to me. Well, if you see Michael Jordan walking

383
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: a room, you know, first of all, he's six six,

384
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: and you're gonna notice something different about him. You know,

385
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: he's six six or defensive tackle or football. He may

386
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: be like through your pals, so you're gonna notice something

387
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: different about him. So you're gonna assume there's something unique

388
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: or special about that person, and it may cross humble

389
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: rumbles in the room. Who's the guy? Who's the guy?

390
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: But this show reveals how God has talented people just

391
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: walking around. They have restricted the responsibility of that talent,

392
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: and that's what this series is all about. And the

393
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: classic example is Maria. Absolutely, come on, We'll come on that.

394
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: This this young girl. Um, she reminds me of a

395
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: Sandy Patty and just a little frame, um, you know,

396
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: and you just don't expect her to be able to

397
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: do what she does. But then she she sings from

398
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: a place of sincerity and pureness, and her voice, my god,

399
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: it just penetrates your heart and uh, it's just amazing.

400
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: She's um, you know, she has a an affiliation with

401
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: Native Americans and and that's something that you would not

402
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: have known and just her whole upbringing and you just

403
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: gotta see it. You just gotta see. That's all I'm saying.

404
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: She is a hard part about it. We're talking about

405
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: the series, but we can't tell you about the series

406
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: because we want the journey to be somewhat original. Yeah,

407
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: we want you to walk in and see what we

408
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: felt visually and emotionally. And I think I think we've

409
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: done a really good job of that and telling you

410
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: the how we will impacted. Of course, you know you

411
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: were there for the entire three hundred auditions. I've seen

412
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: a small window of it, but to answer your question

413
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: when you say a certain people who doubt it. Maria

414
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: was one of those people who had doubt what she

415
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: left the room. Yes, Patrick had issues because I don't

416
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: know exactly exactly. And it's it's it's very very uh

417
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: what would I say, It's a very fulfilling um uh

418
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: feeling that you get from this when you get to

419
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: see them fight their way back and and make believers

420
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: out of the people who doubted them. Um. More than

421
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: one occasion we were skeptic and and we just didn't know.

422
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: But these same individuals went to work. I mean, they

423
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: brought their a game and they went to work, and

424
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: before it was over, we were all we were all

425
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: convinced that they were the right choice. Absolutely. You know

426
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: the Clock Sisters when it came out in um one

427
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: not one thing they kept seeing the mother major, the choir.

428
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: We're talking about that one voice, one voice. You know,

429
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: I want all y'all. Y'all might be separate, but we

430
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: need one voice. The Pucket Twins. Come on. Yeah, I

431
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: told you I've seen this series twice now, so I

432
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: can talk to you about this series all and all fair,

433
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 1: but the Pocket Twins one voice. Tell us about that

434
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: one voice, one voice. Uh. I really, honestly, it was

435
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: my first time experiencing anything like that. I was, I

436
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: was moved beyond expression when I heard them. That's something.

437
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: It has to be something in their DNA. Being twins. Um.

438
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: I've often heard that twins can sometimes know what the

439
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: other one is thinking, and they can feel what the

440
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: other one is going through. Well, if any of that

441
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: is true, these twins um have the ability to have

442
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: a unified voice. Um when they sing. There are times

443
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: when you can't tell one from the other. And it's amazing.

444
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: And not to mention, um, these are not what you

445
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: would call, uh, your classical or your classic soul for singers.

446
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: Um this this These boys are white, these white boys,

447
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: And I mean I would I wouldn't go. You were

448
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: feeling too much, stop, stop too much. But I'm telling you,

449
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean they let you have it. And it's amazing.

450
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: You gotta see it. You gotta see it. You won't

451
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: regret it. Now you want to get uh the couple

452
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: of the additional note to the Voices of the Fire

00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,440

629
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: locked down on COVID to keep your spirits up and

630
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: keep physically motivated. Um, it's been difficult. Um. Actually, when

631
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: everything started happening, I was actually supposed to shoot the

632
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: pilot for called me cat and they called and they

633
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: were like, um, everything's been shut down. Um. In the

634
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: first couple of months is really really hard. Of course,

635
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: staying on top of your eating because I'm an emotional

636
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: eater and I'm like food. But after like a couple

637
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: of months, you know, I kind of had to, you know,

638
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: get it together and say, Okay, what am I putting

639
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: in my body. I'm also not exercising as much. I'm

640
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: also not getting a lot of vitamin d um. I

641
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: want to make sure that I'm healthy just in case,

642
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, comeing in contact with anything COVID like, so

643
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: I can fight it off. And I just wanted to

644
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: start putting better things in my body and and started

645
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: getting physically active again and just making sure I wasn't

646
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: laying down and chilling all day. You know, some days

647
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: you gotta do that. But then you gotta get self

648
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: back on some type of schedule, and it's like, all right,

649
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 1: don't don't fall off too hard because it's gonna everything's

650
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: gonna open up, and then what you're gonna be looking crazy.

651
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: I gained weight too, I really did gain weight. I

652
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,959
Speaker 1: was like my wife, she was, You're hungry, yeah, yeah,

653
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: And I was eating breakfast, launching dinner and I never

654
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: do that. So but guess what. I was sitting around

655
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: and I was watching TV, watching Tiger King all the

656
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: stuff you know, you know, just different shows on Fox,

657
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: ABC everything, you know, because Cowen had put me in

658
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: a lifestyle I had never done. In my face, I

659
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: couldn't control my movements and so uncertainty and so we

660
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: all trapped into that, and so you know, you know,

661
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I was depressed, but I was in

662
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: a way, um confused about when I went out in public,

663
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: how to I interact properly? And and then I read

664
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 1: your stories. I'm assuming you're based in California, and California

665
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: is like the COVID capital of the world right now,

666
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, with the with the recent surge and productions

667
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: being shut down and things like that. How do you

668
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: like you said, you know, taking vitamins and watching what

669
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: you eat, but you still living that lifestyle. Is the

670
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: media over extending the story or you or you can

671
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: live uncomfortable you you move out comfortably in l A

672
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: um no, I'm as soon as you tell I don't

673
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: like being too close to people anyway. I like my Space.

674
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: I had funny I went to the grocery store and

675
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: I had this shirt on that said back up you

676
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: can read this. You too close And somebody was like,

677
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: where'd you get that shirt, and I was like, I've

678
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: had this churf about five years, just had nothing to

679
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: do with the pandemic. I like the you know, I

680
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: like a little distance. I like personal space, and I

681
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: know a lot of people don't understand that. Also, UM,

682
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: I do a bye bye rules. And I do think

683
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: that safety is very important. UM if if someone needs

684
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: me to marry, wear a mask. If we think that

685
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: masks are protecting us in some way, of course I'm

686
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: gonna do what I need to do. UM. I have

687
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: UM older relatives, I have young children. UM, I believe in,

688
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, making sure that we're not spreading this thing

689
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: even further. I think it's kind of crazy that people

690
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: are still, UM, moving just anyway that they want to,

691
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: and UM, not thinking about others. Um. Sometimes you gotta

692
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: you gotta do what you gotta do. But if you

693
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: just don't want to sit in the house, Because I

694
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: really feel like this time really UM. I was talking

695
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: to my mom about it this morning, how it forced

696
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: a lot of us to slow down and focus on

697
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: things that we weren't really focusing on, and um, this

698
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,439
Speaker 1: was a time to do that. And UM we all

699
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: went through different emotions of how to do it. But

700
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, don't want to work

701
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: on themselves, so they don't want to sit at home

702
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: with themselves. It's kind to figure out, Okay, well what

703
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: can I do to better me? You know, they like, no,

704
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: I want to do this and I want to do that,

705
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: having tantrums and stuff. Um, but I really took the

706
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: time to work on me and things that I need

707
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: to get in order in my life, um mentally, physically, mentally,

708
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: physically everywhere, you know, every aspect and just focus on that.

709
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: But no, we're not. We're not knew moving like normal.

710
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: Coming from his household, we were like, what excuse me?

711
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: Drop it on right there, thank you? Or even where

712
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: you're doing the show, I'm assuming you you take the

713
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: pilot coming out of COVID taping a series. How is

714
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: this set? You know, because you still gotta be funny,

715
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: You still gotta be comfortable with everybody around. It is

716
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: a comedy and so you know, I know my background

717
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: on thing. You do do do a table read with

718
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: every script? Do they do a table and they do

719
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: it via zoom or do it do it live with

720
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: your table read? Well, now we shot the pilot during

721
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: the pandemic and we're still shooting the series right now. Um,

722
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: they have all these extra rules, everything that's put in place.

723
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: I basically get hair and makeup done and have to

724
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: put a mask and a shield back on my face.

725
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: So it's constant touch ups. Um. But for a table

726
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,479
Speaker 1: reads right now, we do zoom table reads. UM. There's

727
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: a lot of producers. There's a lot of writers that

728
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: we haven't even met yet in person. Um, they've just

729
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: been watching us on the cameras and UM, it's it's weird. Um.

730
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: But of course the only time that we're able to

731
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: be around each other is when we're shooting, and when

732
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 1: we're rehearsing, and you would it's weird sometimes because we'll

733
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: we'll be next to you. We'll they'll be like, no,

734
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: you guys need to be closer together for the shot,

735
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh I can, I can be close

736
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: to the Okay, I can Okay. And then um, with

737
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: us actors, if you if you do, if you have

738
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: to be closer, you have to kiss or you have

739
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: to hug. Um, you're extra tested that week. UM. I've

740
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: had days where I've been um, I've had to do

741
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: three tests in one day. Um, just to make sure

742
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: that we keep us safe and our crew safe. And um, yeah,

743
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: so it's it's been weird because you're kind of trying

744
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: to develop these characters when you can't really relax. So um,

745
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 1: that's why a lot of us were a little anxious

746
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: with the show coming on, because we're like, how did

747
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: this happen? Like, I hope everything went great because everything's

748
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: moving kind of crazy on set, but I'm happy with that.

749
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: I've watched it last night and I enjoyed itself. Yeah,

750
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. And you know, like I said, now,

751
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: are you the tallest person on the show? Now, I

752
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: am a very um, you know, short lady. Uh, and

753
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: usually I am the shortest, but um, I think Miam

754
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: and I are around them around the same height and

755
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: Leslie shorter than I am, um, but kills on, so

756
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: it looks like I'm way taller than them when I'm not.

757
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: When you carry your newfound height, well okay, because because

758
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: because you know, I've seen the pilot's very entertained and

759
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:04,319

809
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 1: you what she's talking about. I think he went from

810
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:54,240
Speaker 1: like a half a million Instagram follows to like five million.

811
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: I think he was less than that. I think he was.

812
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: I think he was even lower than half of Yeah,

813
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 1: because I know it's a real low number. I didn't

814
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: want to like go but low what it could have been,

815
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: but this is an amazing low number. And if you

816
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: go to this Instagram account, he dances. He let's give

817
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: a little background here. He does a lot of voice

818
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: over work and which we're gonna get to in a minute,

819
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: because your animated reboot on Disney Plus because and so

820
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know him, but they've heard him,

821
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: and so to see him kind of playing out these

822
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: little character playoffs and stuff on TikTok and all these

823
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: different platforms. He's made for social media, and he's fun

824
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: and he's an older guy that's very hip, very topical,

825
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: very uh, you know, everybody find it. Compared to somebody

826
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: like that, I would say Dick Van Dyke type, because

827
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't act his age and he's very relatable and

828
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: you have to be able at all. He is a

829
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: big old kid. He eats all the props on the set.

830
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're not, we need that for the next take.

831
00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: And he's like very is. He's been in this game

832
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: for so long and acting for so long, and I

833
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 1: think it's amazing that something like Instagram has now shown

834
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: the world who this man really is. And he is

835
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: absolutely hilarious. Like I I like half the stuff that

836
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: comes out of his mouth. I don't even know how

837
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: he's on Fox because he's just like anything that comes

838
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: to his branding, it's just out. It's just and I'm like,

839
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: let's say that. But he like, he's the sweetest and

840
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: he has so many great things coming his way because

841
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: of because of Instagram, and then and then seeing the

842
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: things that he does and the joy that he brings

843
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: to everyone who follows him, it's like that's what we

00:51:55,520 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: I didn't think a lot of people for you, you did.

887
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 1: I My voice hasn't changed at all. Literally loved Somebody's

888
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 1: like deal, kids, listen to you, because when you're talking,

889
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: you don't sound like nobody's mama. You sound like a

890
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: little card to character. Like, first of all, yes, they

891
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: do listen to me anyway. No, but I never thought that. Um,

892
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you have been hearing different things here and there,

893
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: and so many things they're getting rebooted and remade, and

894
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: so of course I didn't, you know, think that it

895
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: was I heard talks, but I didn't think it would

896
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: be a possibility. And um, then I got the call

897
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: from Ralph Farquar and Bruce Smith and they basically said

898
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: they wanted to give it a go, and I'm like, hey,

899
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: like anybody else playing Penny, so y'all we better figured

900
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:52,479
Speaker 1: this out. And and then you know, brought everybody along

901
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: for the ride. And it's been tough because, um, we

902
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 1: actually started recording right before the right when the pandemic

903
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,240
Speaker 1: was happening, and so we had to start recording everything

904
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: at home, and it's difficult to record at home when

905
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: you have kids that are not in school and they

906
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: a loud like a mama. So we're figuring this out

907
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: though we're making it happen, checks checks, I'm like, maybe

908
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: this is for a few minutes they're trying to get

909
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: a part in the show. That's what I know what

910
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: they're trying to do. Now, let's talk about this this

911
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: this character. You know when you talk about recording at home,

912
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: you know this is not picking up your phone or

913
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: your cell phone recording at the home. They send you

914
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: some special equipment. How did that work out? Oh? Yes,

915
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: we had to get the right mics, um, the right

916
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: uh everything that needed to go into a computer. And

917
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: I literally, when I tell you this computer thing, before

918
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: this pandemic, I knew how to ask some right email

919
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: and uh, I knew how to write message, but as

920
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: far as anything else, no, So I've learned so much. Um,

921
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: I had to learn different tools and how to record

922
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: myself finn and even having I don't even know the

923
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: name of the things that they sent, Like I had

924
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: a bounce thing that I had to put behind the

925
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: microphone and I had to put I went to visit

926
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: my grandmother, had to put pillows on top of it

927
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: to make sure that the sound was the sound quality

928
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: was good. Like, they sent us so much stuff, and

929
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, luckily my man is uh the recording artist,

930
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: so he knows how to cook up all that stuff.

931
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, I don't have to um

932
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: cry today. Uh So luckily I had the help that

933
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: I needed. But yeah, they sent us everything. You know,

934
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: you have to learn sometimes, and so the thing about

935
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,959
Speaker 1: it is that when you get it, to get an opportunity. So,

936
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, I looked at the this is Disney Plus

937
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: where I just so soul that Jamie Fox, Uh animazing,

938
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 1: which is really great. Is I've seen it twice. It's

939
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: really fun. And then I hear about this announcement, uh,

940
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, the return. I just call it the return

941
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: of Penny Proud. You know family, Louder and Prouder. So

942
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,879
Speaker 1: when I hit and Prouder, I hear volume. I hear

943
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be all over the placement. We know

944
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: your Disney Plus, so you're not gonna get extreme. What

945
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: does Louder and Proud of me? But to me Louder

946
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 1: and Prouder. I feel like when I was recording The

947
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: Proud Family back in the day, I had no idea

948
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: what I was a party. I was fourteen years old,

949
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: and I didn't realize the things that we were talking

950
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: about in the messages that we were giving young kids

951
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: watching um watching the cartoon and I feel like louder

952
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: and prouder now it's like we've it's like Proud Family

953
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: two point oh. We basically upgraded the conversations that are

954
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: gonna be happening. And I'm surprised to some of the

955
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: things that you know, Disney Pluses is allowing us to do.

956
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: But you know, we have to do those type of

957
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: things if we want to maintain the authenticity of being

958
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: the Proud Family. We have to come through with the messages.

959
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: We have to come through with the knowledge. We have

960
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: to come through with the real things that need to

961
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 1: be said and leads to be taught and learned about,

962
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: especially in our community. So I just feel like there's

963
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: a lot of storylines that people are gonna be like, what,

964
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: But you know that it's it's teach them young, teaching young.

965
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: Thinking about your career because I've been fortunate to watch

966
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 1: your career, you know, I've been fortunate to be on

967
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: set with you and watch the professionalism, watch you watch

968
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: how you at a young age and and and and

969
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: as a young teenager and become a young adult. That's longevity.

970
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: And you know, you have people who want to get

971
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: into business, can you give them any advice or any

972
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,919
Speaker 1: thoughts to the process of what this business can offer

973
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: you offer you for opportunity, but what you have to

974
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: give or sacrifice to be successful in this business. Uh,

975
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 1: this business is a very difficult one. UM. I always

976
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: tell people, please only get involved if it's something that

977
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: you have loved for that you love, um, fame and

978
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: all that popular stuff, and that doesn't really it's too

979
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 1: much going on to just want that. Um. And then

980
00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: also it's it's practice, it's studying it, taking it seriously,

981
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a very difficult. It's like it's

982
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: mentally it can be completely draining. And I know a

983
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: lot of people look at me and they're like, oh,

984
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 1: you're you know you you turned out so well and

985
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, that's because I was able

986
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: to recognize when things were too much for me or

987
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: when I need to just change how I looked at things. Mentally, like,

988
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: in this business, you're gonna be told no a million times,

989
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: and it's gonna make you question yourself. It's gonna make

990
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: you rethink everything that you know about you, and you

991
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: have to get stuck in your head that hey, I'm

992
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: gonna keep getting told no. But that doesn't mean that

993
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm not good, that doesn't mean that I'm not worth it.

994
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: It just means that that one thing wasn't meant for me.

995
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: And now I'm on the hunt for the next thing.

996
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: And uh, I know someone asked me recently, like what

997
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 1: did you audition for that you didn't get? And it

998
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: took me like ten minutes to think about it because

999
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: I was like, honestly, after all, bition for something. If

1000
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: I haven't heard back, Oh no, it's out of it's

1001
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: it's it's gone, and I'm onto the next thing. I

1002
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: can't dwell on the past, you know. So if you

1003
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: want to get into a business like this, you just

1004
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: gotta make sure here is straight because a lot of

1005
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: people don't understand that. You know, we're human beings, we're

1006
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: not machines, and we go through the same things that

1007
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: everybody else goes through. And if you want to do it,

1008
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: just keep hustling and fighting and people gonna tell you can't,

1009
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: just like anything else, you gotta prove them wrong. Well you, well,

1010
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. I'm proud of you, Penny proud, okay,

1011
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: And I've seen I've seen the journey and I know

1012
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, there's so many there's so many casualties out there,

1013
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: and you know what I'm talking about. And uh, and

1014
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: it's sad by that process because it's really can be

1015
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 1: famous on the series and then all of a sudden,

1016
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: you're constantly chasing that that series or that moment or

1017
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: that opportunity, and like you said, you have to actually

1018
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: walk away. You have to shut down and don't let

1019
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: these negatives win. And if you let the negatives win,

1020
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: I think that's when that's when you don't have but

1021
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: you fall away. Had a balanced life and I always

1022
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: tell people on the show that it's important to have

1023
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: a balanced life, that you are not consumed by what

1024
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: you do but who you are. And you've always had that,

1025
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: as Paul your mantra that I've always um, I've always

1026
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,959
Speaker 1: wanted to have it all and UM, I remember being

1027
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: younger and people like, don't have kids yet, and I'm like,

1028
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: first of all, what I want to do? Um, But

1029
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: I just feel like you have to have balance. I

1030
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: understand that what I do for a living is my

1031
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: job and I love it and I'm very fortunate to

1032
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: be able to do something that I love. Um, it

1033
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: is not my complete entire life. Um, I am a

1034
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 1: regular person with an extraordinary job. And um, it's difficult,

1035
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: especially in a business like this, because you, like you said,

1036
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: you have those moments where you have the TV shows

1037
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: and you're on top and the next thing you know,

1038
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: people are looking at you like you've never worked before,

1039
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: and you're like, wait, what, Like I've been hustling and

1040
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: I've been doing X, Y and Z, and what do

1041
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: you mean? And you kind of just have to, like

1042
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: I said, it's all It's all about your mental and

1043
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: and understanding. Like I tell my kids all the time,

1044
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, mommy has always wanted to be a mommy

1045
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: and mommy has always want to be an actress. So

1046
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: mommy has to juggle both. If mommy's tired, so what

1047
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: mommy gotta figure out when they're napping. You know, like

1048
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: just continue to, you know, fight for your dreams and

1049
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: what you want to do, but also recognize that, you know,

1050
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: one thing in your life is not everything. You know.

1051
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,439

1188
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: racial arrest this country went under, and we saw a

1189
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: tremendous change in the state of Mississippi when the removal

1190
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: of the flag. You know, from a media standpoint, you

1191
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: out front and I know you get a lot of

1192
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: calls and a lot of reactions. TAMPERA, talk to me

1193
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 1: about that change that you've seen with the removal the flag.

1194
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 1: I know it's not major, some stack some situations, but

1195
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,480
Speaker 1: it still was a major change from a symbolism standpoint.

1196
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: Absolutely had radio personalities from across the country to reach

1197
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: out to me, some people who didn't even realize that

1198
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 1: we still had that flag with that and they didn't

1199
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: even realize it. And so it was literally history. It

1200
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: was a history that we can say that we actually

1201
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 1: were a part of here in Jackson because we've watched

1202
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: people march to take that black down, We've watched protests

1203
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 1: to take it down, we brought protests to keep it up,

1204
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: and it's it's been ongoing. It's not something that just happened.

1205
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 1: It's been an ongoing fight. And to finally see that

1206
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,719
Speaker 1: fight and watch how it ends played right in front

1207
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: of us, it's a part of history. And I'm actually

1208
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: happy to say that I was on air when it happened. Wow. Well,

Speaker 1: have their stories. The Mississippi is always stood out when

1216
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 1: you're talking about black women in poweroy what you're talking

1217
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 1: about black girl magic. Talk to us about some of

1218
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: the obstacles and then what you're trying to achieve when

1219
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: you're talking about breaking through that financial literacy, sealing and

1220
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: their glass ceiling. Well, as you said, Um, coming from

1221
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:25,600
Speaker 1: the South and trying to uplift the black community, we

1222
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:29,560
Speaker 1: all know it's history. So of course I'll face several obstacles,

1223
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: obstacles from partnerships, meaning that banks in the community, trying

1224
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:38,879
Speaker 1: to get my ladies a partnership to help them establish

1225
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: credit with some of our banks, UM. And also that's

1226
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: something that we need more of here in the South.

1227
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: We need I mean all over black black owned UM banks,

1228
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: you know. So I've definitely faced that trying to get

1229
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: partners UM to partner with my organization to help us.

1230
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 1: You know, Luckily and properly, we have been able to

1231
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: secure a few partners that can help entrepreneurs, are black

1232
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs UM take our loans to start establishing credit. And

1233
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 1: that is so important to learn financial literacy because coming up,

1234
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: that's something that I wasn't taught, you know. And again, Um,

1235
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 1: everything that I do is passion driven or it's from

1236
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 1: experiences that I do not want anyone else to encounter.

1237
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:23,720
Speaker 1: So that's basically what this organization and it's entirety is.

1238
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: It is to help girls, women who look exactly like me,

1239
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to succeed. So that's why this

1240
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 1: platform was created. Well when did it start? And you

1241
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: were you inspired by somebody? M hmm. Well actually it

1242
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: started as women Brunch Mississippi and we started that in

1243
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen. I attended a brunch in Atlanta, Georgia,

1244
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: and I was just so amazed by this brunch that

1245
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: I attended. Well it wasn't even a brunch, it was

1246
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: an event. It was like a networking event, and uh,

1247
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 1: I was so amazed how women were networking together. They

1248
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: were like, you know, how can I pour into you?

1249
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: How can you pour into me? And I was like, wow,

1250
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: this is something that Mississippi needs. So originally it started

1251
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: as a networking event. I hosted on my first event

1252
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seventeen, mingling over Mimosa's business branch

1253
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: to allow business owners to come in a network. Well,

1254
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: we set up for like sixty sixty sixty two people

1255
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: and we had over a hundred a hundred people to attend,

1256
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: and I was like Oh my goodness. That that was

1257
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: like a supplied demand. That was something that was needed

1258
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: in a confirmation for me to do more of them.

1259
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:35,599
Speaker 1: So I created Women Brunched Mississippi, and that Women Branch

1260
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 1: Mississippi was to empower the women here in the state.

1261
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 1: Well as the organization starts to like take its own life,

1262
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 1: thank you Jesus, it starts to take its own life.

1263
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: I had women reaching out in Alabama, I had women

1264
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 1: reaching out in Atlanta, in Texas. How can I be

1265
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: a part of this organization? So I was like, you

1266
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 1: know what, let me get outside my conference zone and

1267
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: I stepped out to National Women's Brunch Organization. Well, there's

1268
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: the great thing about it is that you're trying to

1269
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: create change. Now, when I when I go back to Tambera,

1270
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you some timber Mississippi. Monica Barnes text me,

1271
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: you know Mrs Monica bar And she's one of the

1272
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: executive producers of Steve Harvey Morning Show. I gave her

1273
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:16,679
Speaker 1: a break and gave her opportunity to get on the show.

1274
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: And she text me, uh, Tambra is gonna do your show,

1275
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 1: and she wants to know if you remember her. I

1276
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: was so mad that I got that text, like I'm

1277
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna forget you were at a long conversations, were in

1278
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: the studio for several hours, and I remember everything I

1279
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: told you. I said, why are you still in Jackson?

1280
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: And and that made an impression on me. And when

1281
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: I when I think that, I think about what you

1282
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 1: were becoming, and you was evolving not only as a

1283
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: as an individual, but as a person. And this is

1284
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 1: this whole. This is gonna be a big transition, ladies,

1285
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: because now you know, people gonna know you, sometimes for

1286
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: the right reason, for the wrong reasons. Know. And you

1287
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 1: have the show called The Relationship Our on radio. Okay,

1288
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: they say it's controvertial. Uh, please tell us why, And

1289
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: it's fine controversy, but but tell us why. Well, you

1290
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 1: know what, I've been doing that show for years and

1291
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: it's just a part of something that's inside the Midday

1292
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:20,680
Speaker 1: that we do once a week, and it has been controversy.

1293
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: I think they why they call it controversy. It is

1294
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:26,839
Speaker 1: because we open the phone lines to the to the audience.

1295
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 1: It's it's open to the audience. The audience comes up

1296
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: with the questions, they spend in what they want to

1297
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 1: talk about and literally people give their opinions on what's

1298
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: going on. We all know that relationships pretty much rule

1299
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: this entire world. Okay, we know that. So we talked

1300
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: about not only personal relationships and professional relationships, but all

1301
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: types of relationships, even if you're dealing with family, and

1302
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: a lot of times it can be very controversial just

1303
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 1: by the things that people say. I've had people to

1304
01:14:55,439 --> 01:15:00,160
Speaker 1: call and say the strangest things. So it does and

1305
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of the day, we're talking at

1306
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: one of the flocks, this night conversation. This is this

1307
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: conversation you're literally at listening to. That's what you say

1308
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: when they say controversy. I've had people to call me

1309
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,639
Speaker 1: and say, look, do you know who asked that question?

1310
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: Because if that's like she's talking about my husband. I

1311
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: had those type of questions. But it's all fun, and

1312
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:23,640
Speaker 1: it talked about I know, right, and talked about relationships

1313
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 1: because relationships are so important and it's just opened opinions

1314
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:31,560
Speaker 1: up for everyone to get involved. Well, you know, you

1315
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 1: know Steven Harvey and I you know, when he comes

1316
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 1: to relationship, act like a lady, to think like a man.

1317
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,760
Speaker 1: The movies, so I know, the Strawberry Letter that he

1318
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: does at the top of eight o'clock. Been doing that

1319
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: since two thousands, so I know the power of a relationship.

1320
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: But you're doing it for a whole hour though. We

1321
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: just did a letter, so that whole hour concept. Would

1322
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: you take several phone calls or is it man? They

1323
01:15:54,240 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 1: called to man and the women rashan like men and women. Yes,

1324
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: we open it up for everyone to call. And I

1325
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: hear from my ladies and I hear from my guys

1326
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,480
Speaker 1: point of view, and sometimes the ladies am more interested

1327
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: in a guy's point of view because you know, when

1328
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: you're over the phone, you give me yourself. You can

1329
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: say exactly what you want to say and how you

1330
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 1: feel instead of like you thinking somebody's looking at you

1331
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: or trying to judge you. So that's why I think

1332
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 1: when people say its controverts, because they're seeing how they

1333
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: really feel, because they don't have to be seen. It's

1334
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: not zoom down on the TV show with the Steve

1335
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: Harvey type of Oprah is on the phone and they

1336
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: can get away with it. Now you phone, they can

1337
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: get away with whatever they say. They're real feelings about

1338
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 1: how they feel. On that on the topic that we're

1339
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:52,600
Speaker 1: actually talking about like the conversations and the stories that

1340
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: I have heard something don't actually have part of my

1341
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: book some of the years that the conversations I've heard,

1342
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 1: some of the things will blow your mind. And there's

1343
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 1: no no judgment. Don't nobody's judging you because we're just

1344
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: listening to your real opinion. Right. So, Letitia, you have

1388
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: actually like she's been a client of radio where I've

1389
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: actually voiced her commercials and that's how we met is

1390

1392
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:30,639

Speaker 1: watched her business grow. I really had. So it's a

1396
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: great thing just to watch the growth when it starts

1397

Speaker 1: Marie has been at my brunches, attending my brunches and

1405

01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: but she's very lovable too, So Marie. This is five women.

1411
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: It's called the Bell Collective is set in Jackson, Mississippi.

1412
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 1: There's are dynamic women representing the finest of Mississippi's entrepreneurship,

1413
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 1: determined to break through the ceiling glass ceiling of social consciousness.

1414
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 1: The interesting thing about these shows is that when it

1415
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: airs January fifteen, I believe it's the premier date. Do

1416
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: you expect you know, this is fame, you know, because

1417
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: all you know, people know you. You guys in the

1418
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 1: community to know you. But it's like I always tell people, like,

1419
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, my name is Roshan, And when people started

1420
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: saying my name correctly all time, it really tripped me

1421
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: out because I can always tell people who didn't know

1422
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: me when they didn't say it right. Not everybody's gonna

1423
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: know how to say Letitia's right way. That's just how

1424
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 1: I said. And I and my friends called me Latitia.

1425
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 1: But that's a good point. When I hear Latitia high Latitia,

1426
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 1: I know that someone on my father's side or my

1427
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 1: arm is upset at me, and she's cool with me.

1428
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:40,800
Speaker 1: It's hey, Titia, and she's upset Ltitia. But Tam, but

1429
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, you're on the radio show and since you

1430
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,759
Speaker 1: are famous. You know, I'm not saying Latitia isn't famous,

1431
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 1: but you know in the radio you're in the popular

1432
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,759
Speaker 1: show Relationship our show, So you used to that level.

1433
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 1: But this is a visual level you're about to get to.

1434
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:58,919
Speaker 1: Are you ready for that? Let me tell you actually,

1435
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,679
Speaker 1: I I did have the opportunity to do some guest

1436
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 1: hosting before and that was on another network. And then

1437
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:08,600
Speaker 1: I was actually doing some other hosting in guest corresponding

1438
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 1: stuff Traditionation, which was on another network. So I'm really gutten.

1439
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: I think I had my feet wet a lot, to

1440
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:20,560
Speaker 1: be honest, because once you come across that screen, a

1441
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: lot of things are coming at you. So I've had

1442
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: my feet wet quite a few times now. But I

1443
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 1: definitely think this is because I'm actually opening up my

1444
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 1: personal life. I'm not just talking entertainment news. I'm not

1445
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: just hosting anything, which I'm used to doing that one

1446
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 1: television that I'm actually opening my personal life. So this

1447
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: is very different for me. Okay, well you you open

1448
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: it up, tell us about your personal life. What is

1449
01:23:48,160 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: your personal life? Brought it up? You don't people? Oh

1450
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 1: but this is what I said. When I say personal life,

1451
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 1: I mean I am still you too. I have always

1452
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: having myself. It's far a having a professional life that

1453
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,599
Speaker 1: was super super public, which I absolutely love because I'm

1454
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: a people prison. I love people. I love social life,

1455
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 1: I love all of that. I love people. I do

1456
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 1: have a passion for people. But I managed to keep

1457
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: my private life in personal life kind of private just

1458
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,720
Speaker 1: because I feel like, does anybody in my personal life.

1459
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 1: They didn't sign up for that. They didn't sign it

1460
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 1: up for any of what I have going on. But

1461
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 1: on this show, you actually do get a chance. You

1462
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 1: see the conversations that I might have with my parents

1463
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: that are very personal to me that you've never seen before.

1464
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: So when I say personal life for Sean, I'm not

1465
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:51,880
Speaker 1: just talking about like personal boyfriend. But although you might

Speaker 1: grocery stores and and things and anything that a black

1512
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 1: person needs, just even the fellowship with one another, you

1513
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: can find it on Farres Street. So I started to

1514
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 1: do my research on Faris Street myself, and oh my god,

1515
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 1: and it was just so amazing. I felt like I

1516
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 1: have to make this happen. I have to be a

1517
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 1: part of something here because it's history and it's something

1518
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,679
Speaker 1: that our ancestors would be proud about. So I feel

1519
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 1: like too when I share Fis with Timber. Before Timber

1520
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 1: and I've had this conversation that it's so important for

1521
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 1: us to work together to try and revitalize this area,

1522
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:14,720
Speaker 1: not only for us, but for the generations after us.

1523
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: So it's my baby, it's my heart. I'm putting everything

1524
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:22,799
Speaker 1: in it, and I'm praying and believing everything's gonna manifest

1525
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 1: the way. The great thing about it is that it's

1526
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 1: on TV now, so donations will come in and all

1527

01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 1: I gotta wrap it up with Chamber. Now that's my girl.

1529
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: You know she did to I spent time with on

01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:41,320

1531
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:45,320
Speaker 1: Not she on TV in Jackson, Mississippi. You know. So

1675
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 1: And I did that my brain, and that's why I'm

Speaker 1: should be excited. First of all, I'm proud of you

1678
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 1: because our journey goes way back, you know, to the

1679
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,840
Speaker 1: catering days, you know, when you had the one title

1680
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:22,720
Speaker 1: of chef. Tell everybody about that moment. And because it's

1681
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 1: a problem moment for me because of the fact that

1682
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:27,519
Speaker 1: that's what I do. Man, I meet people and I

1683
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,400
Speaker 1: encourage them to seek their greatness and allowed them to

1684
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:33,720
Speaker 1: understand that hard work tied to that passion can can

1685
01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 1: have this conversation we have today about it. Two hundred

1686
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:40,800
Speaker 1: restaurants rollout. Talk about that first initial contact, Well, I

1687
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:43,720

01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:54,400
Speaker 1: that you know, you did something for me that I

1692
01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 1: feel like many people, uh strong energy don't do. And

1693
01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:00,800
Speaker 1: I think the endemic really should have put and parties

1694
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:03,599
Speaker 1: because out of all things that you was busy doing,

1695
01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 1: you to the second and you stopped in the middle

1696
01:38:06,200 --> 01:38:08,160
Speaker 1: of everything. And I'm talking about weird in arena and

1697
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 1: everything pushing the moving, and you stopped and you saw

1698
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:12,960
Speaker 1: something in me and you had a conversation with me,

1699
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:16,559
Speaker 1: and you care enough uh to seed in my life,

01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:21,280
Speaker 1: uh and to interfere uh and to evaluate into inspirement

1701
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:24,640
Speaker 1: and it literally my first account of with you was

1702
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:28,400
Speaker 1: absolutely what I needed. It said, listen, stop dreaming, get up,

1703
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:31,280
Speaker 1: get pushing, get moving, because you'd do something great. So

1704
01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 1: my first account of man is a it's been an

1705
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:37,200
Speaker 1: amazing well you know, well, thank you. The beauty of

1706
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 1: who you are man is that, Uh, you wanted to

1707
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,960
Speaker 1: know how to be great, how to be successful? How

1708
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:46,120
Speaker 1: did the food taste? Did it meet the standards? You

1709
01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 1: know a lot of people they don't want to hear

1710
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,800
Speaker 1: any potential negative statement of any particular criticism, and there

1711
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:54,640
Speaker 1: was nothing negative. But you're willing to hear that, and

1712
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:57,200
Speaker 1: that's why you're in the position now. So in the

1713
01:38:57,240 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 1: middle of COVID, nobody saw COVID coming. You know, I

1714
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 1: had all kind of I had different plans for twenty

1715
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:05,160
Speaker 1: they got kicked to the curve. Now you're in the

1716
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:09,680
Speaker 1: restaurant business and California talk to us about demand that

1717
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 1: the drama that came over your dream. Well, I'm gonna

1718
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:15,800
Speaker 1: tell you something, you know what, I'm really proud to say.

1719
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:17,879
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking about this not only working to principles

1720
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 1: that I knew to do in the skills of a

1721
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 1: meeting people like yourself. You know, I look at scalability.

1722
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 1: You know, when I looked in the market place, even

1723
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, circumvent in the condemn it, I looked in

1724
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 1: the industry and I saw that. I saw that in

1725
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 1: all these years, no one had never emerged as a leader,

1726
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 1: no one had never scaled what I called scaled the pinch.

1727
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:38,719
Speaker 1: And so I got in my lane. I I became

1728
01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 1: very focused, and I I did what you said. I didn't.

1729
01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 1: I didn't try to be the Joans I've been in

1730
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 1: my pocket and I started working it. And you know,

1731
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:50,240
Speaker 1: Mr Pan give it. We have grown about a hundred

1732
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:52,760
Speaker 1: forty for sin and we did that by finding a

1733
01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 1: place in the marketplace, working a skill set, stand focused.

1734
01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:58,559
Speaker 1: But people get stuck. And what we're doing is we're

1735
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:01,040
Speaker 1: about in a vehicle for people who in a miss

1736
01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 1: of this pandemic. I think they's situated for artist, see

1737
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:06,599
Speaker 1: you no way. I've been dreaming, I've been working for others.

1738
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: I've been doing all types of things, but I've done

1739
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:11,840
Speaker 1: nothing for myself. I've got moved forward in my dreams

1740
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 1: and my passion. And so the people that I ain't

1741
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:17,080
Speaker 1: come today is I helped them get unstuck. I helped

1742
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:19,400
Speaker 1: them move forward in their lives, much like you did

1743
01:40:19,479 --> 01:40:21,479
Speaker 1: to me. So I'm really paying hommage and thank you

1744
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:24,680
Speaker 1: by working in my deal of saying thank you for

1745
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:27,400
Speaker 1: taking time for me as I take time now. Well,

1746
01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 1: I'm taking time again to promote your brain because you're

1747
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:34,160
Speaker 1: so credible to me. So let's talk about the before

1748
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:36,639
Speaker 1: we get to the menu. Let's talk about the Celebrity

1749
01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:40,360
Speaker 1: Soul Food story. Because the menu is UH is diverse

1750
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:44,599
Speaker 1: meat lovers, vegetarian, and vegans, which lets me know why

1751
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,680
Speaker 1: you've been successful because that vegan has been a big

1752
01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:51,400
Speaker 1: push during the pandemic. Vegetarian menus have been a big

1753
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:54,080
Speaker 1: push doing the pandemic because we all know doing COVID

1754
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 1: their team African America. They're not saying it publicly, but

1755
01:40:57,120 --> 01:41:00,120
Speaker 1: African American and people have six or five were overly

1756
01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 1: affected by and still lives being overtly affected by the pandemic.

1757
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:06,439
Speaker 1: That's why Trump was still holding rallies because he knew

1758
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 1: his fan base was at African Americans. So with that

1759
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:12,320
Speaker 1: being said, you launched the Celebrity Soul Food store. Tell

1760
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,720
Speaker 1: us how that dream came about and how we got

1761
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:17,720
Speaker 1: to today. Before we get into the menu. Well, you know,

1762
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:21,240
Speaker 1: for me, Um, I think I wanted to make sure

1763
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 1: that soul Food actually did this rightful place of history

1764
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: and and really get paid homage. Truth. I'm gonna be

1765
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:30,080
Speaker 1: honest with you, and it's just true transparency as well.

1766
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 1: Ce Oh it's been it's been serviced so poorly, you know.

1767
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:36,600
Speaker 1: I think God for all those who have preceded me,

1768
01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:40,360
Speaker 1: the mom and pops. I think it's amazing. Our grandmothers

1769
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:42,400
Speaker 1: and great moand mothers have done amazing. But that is

1770
01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:44,880
Speaker 1: why I'm here. I don't I don't stand. I'm not

1771
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 1: creating history. I'm standing on the back of history. But

1772
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:51,559
Speaker 1: I'm saying we have skill sets, were innovated, we are authentic,

1773
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 1: but it's time to spell it. It's time to make

1774
01:41:54,200 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 1: sure that soul food go up there with all the

1775
01:41:56,920 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: other great puisine. You know, we were everywhere no one

1776
01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:02,120
Speaker 1: ever want to give us credit. And then the other

1777
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 1: side to it is then we put those type of

1778
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:08,240
Speaker 1: places in the some of the forest locations in the communities.

1779
01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 1: Soulful deserves to be presented in the element that it

1780
01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:15,600
Speaker 1: really needs to be, which is greating and soulful. For me,

1781
01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:19,080
Speaker 1: it's much more served than just herbs and spice and soulful.

1782
01:42:19,120 --> 01:42:21,919
Speaker 1: For me, it's like I remember being at my grandmother's

1783
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 1: house and I was small and I was sleeping, and

1784
01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 1: I went to thinking because it was renny outside and

1785
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't play, and all of a sudden, it's a roma. Uh.

1786
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 1: It just wroke me up, and I wanted to kitchen

1787
01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 1: my mom and Grandma was in there and I was

1788
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:36,240
Speaker 1: tasting this pound kicking. It was amazing, and all of

1789
01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, shot that the sun came back down. That's

1790
01:42:39,200 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 1: so people all around the world got stories like that,

1791
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:46,240
Speaker 1: all kind of culture that they remember Mama, they remember grandmother,

1792
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:48,280
Speaker 1: the fiends, where they wore and what they was doing

1793
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:51,240
Speaker 1: when it was tasting amazing. Just so it's the stories

1794
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:53,080
Speaker 1: that's been ready to be lost, and I'm gonna make

1795
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 1: sure as the new manager, so that's not happened. We

1796
01:42:56,360 --> 01:43:00,160
Speaker 1: belong in palm locations. We belong, and an invading if

1797
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 1: wait to present the mission. So they are they all

1798
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:05,240
Speaker 1: can know how great really so is? Well, you know

1799
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:07,720
Speaker 1: it's really great here you talk with passion, talking with

1800
01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,400
Speaker 1: the plan. Because let me just talk about meat. When

1801
01:43:10,439 --> 01:43:13,160
Speaker 1: I go into a soul food restaurant. You know is

1802
01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:15,760
Speaker 1: that you know I love I love a vegan plate

1803
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:18,040
Speaker 1: because some some restaurants you're going to go and go

1804
01:43:18,479 --> 01:43:22,000
Speaker 1: fro vegetables, play with corn bread and so I get

1805
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 1: the black eyed peas over white rice, or I get

1806
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 1: the okra and tomatoes. Man, come on, now starting starting

1807
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:31,880
Speaker 1: to get hongry. Nothing the yam, which is always pay

1808
01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:33,760
Speaker 1: a little bit extra for the for the yams. You

1809
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:35,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's been a little extra for

1810
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:38,679
Speaker 1: that yam and the sweet corn. So but there's there's

1811
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:43,679
Speaker 1: there's explained to meat. There is Southern food. They're so food.

1812
01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:47,760
Speaker 1: Now what is the difference? Always the same thing just

1813
01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:52,120
Speaker 1: been renamed as Southern food. Okay, first of all, it's

1814
01:43:52,160 --> 01:44:01,640
Speaker 1: absolutely doctor saved everything and every a sod absolutely to

1815
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 1: the Southern. Tell us, doctor, doctor, talk to us. Nobody

1816
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:07,519
Speaker 1: has been told wrong. You gotta understand my my my

1817
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:11,559
Speaker 1: mother and my my grandmother particularly uh is African American

1818
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:14,439
Speaker 1: and also of Indi Uner City. And with that being said,

1819
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:16,880
Speaker 1: you gotta understand that when we when when when African

1820
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 1: Americans came to what I call the New world over here,

1821
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,720
Speaker 1: is that being in a vegetarian and key told was

1822
01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:25,560
Speaker 1: very familiar to them. You gotta understand salty and the

1823
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:29,439
Speaker 1: preservatives was added later to the quisine. So when you're

1824
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:33,519
Speaker 1: talking about being a vegetarian or what we call authentic

1825
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:37,560
Speaker 1: dishes of the traditionalists, it's really not professional. You know.

1826
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:40,400
Speaker 1: I think the things that people are doing now is

1827
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:42,519
Speaker 1: they're either trying to become one or the other. Either

1828
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,599
Speaker 1: they're all the way, if I can be honest, completely unhealthy,

1829
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:48,720
Speaker 1: or they're going to be in a vegetarian. That's not

1830
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:51,040
Speaker 1: what we're doing. We're innovative when we're training. What we're

1831
01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:54,439
Speaker 1: doing is we have not even a healthy option. We

1832
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:57,839
Speaker 1: are healthy all the way through me. We use premium items,

1833
01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:01,720
Speaker 1: we get, we present premium this uh in vegan better

1834
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 1: to you and I in authentic ways that all can

1835
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:07,200
Speaker 1: party in the entire meeting. So when we start talking

1836
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:09,519
Speaker 1: about this, you're you're really gonna be shocked with it's

1837
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,760
Speaker 1: really a second tonight. What I want to know is

1838
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:15,840
Speaker 1: how can something be so great and so rememberable but

1839
01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 1: it got a cute you at the same time night.

1840
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:24,200
Speaker 1: We are no pig nope words all absolutely many people

1841
01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:27,600
Speaker 1: trying not to lose the flavor were trained. You know

1842
01:45:27,640 --> 01:45:29,920
Speaker 1: who's no favors. This is an amazing rounde from just

1843
01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:32,600
Speaker 1: what you ain't gotta have high blood pressure Mond and

1844
01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:36,400
Speaker 1: that's what that's the I guess the the moniker is

1845
01:45:36,439 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 1: tied to so food. You know that that heavy salt,

1846
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:43,960
Speaker 1: like I said, overseason, which leads the high cholesterol, which

1847
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:45,920
Speaker 1: leads the high blood pressure. But like I said, when

1848
01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: I saw your menu, it you know, we got to

1849
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:51,559
Speaker 1: meet lovers, like you said, but you have vegetarian and vegan.

1850
01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:54,519
Speaker 1: That's a different style of cooking. Talk about your background

1851
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:57,720
Speaker 1: as a chef which really gave you not only just

1852
01:45:57,840 --> 01:46:00,720
Speaker 1: not stamping your name as the CEO of this franchise,

1853
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:02,960
Speaker 1: but you understand the menu and how to put these

1854
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:05,160
Speaker 1: menus together. Let's go and give you credit for that.

1855
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:07,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. Well, you know one of the

1856
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:09,240
Speaker 1: things I did, and this is why I can really

1857
01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:12,160
Speaker 1: pay homage to UH to some great people. It um.

1858
01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:14,360
Speaker 1: You know when I when I started on this journey,

1859
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:16,680
Speaker 1: not only did I train under some of the best

1860
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:20,520
Speaker 1: selfs in the country, but I spent five years traveling

1861
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:23,360
Speaker 1: throughout the United States, all the way from Alabama, others

1862
01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:27,520
Speaker 1: an Annam, Mississippi, Florida, talking some grandmothers and great grandmothers

1863
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 1: and sitting down with them, learning first of all, before

1864
01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 1: I put my hand to these dishes, what's the authenticity

1865
01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 1: of the dish, what's the instrument of the dish? How

1866
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:37,840
Speaker 1: did this all come about? Then what I did is

1867
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:40,519
Speaker 1: I spake because this is where it gets tight. But

1868
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 1: this is why I want to be honest and be

1869
01:46:42,240 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 1: over with people, because it's hard work. And when I

1870
01:46:45,120 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 1: met you, you didn't tell me it would be easy.

1871
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:50,000
Speaker 1: You told me put in the work, invest in yourself.

1872
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:52,160
Speaker 1: So what I did is I spent over one point

1873
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:55,320
Speaker 1: six million dollars going into a kitchen, scaling that pitchure.

1874
01:46:55,320 --> 01:46:57,479
Speaker 1: Because you gotta remember back in the day, all they

1875
01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:00,200
Speaker 1: told us was, hey, I put love in a little

1876
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:01,720
Speaker 1: bit of this, A little bit of that you can't

1877
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 1: scale that. I've speed with business. See, So what I

1878
01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 1: get is I spend the resources I invested in myself.

1879
01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:10,760
Speaker 1: I invested in this project, and we went into the

1880
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:13,200
Speaker 1: kitchen and we got the nutritional facts. Then when I

1881
01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:15,840
Speaker 1: get this out of lebaty relationships, so that we can

1882
01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:18,599
Speaker 1: get a whole of the premium items, the premium ores,

1883
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 1: the premium flowers, the things that are necessary that take

1884
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:24,679
Speaker 1: you to the next level, and that's what we present

1885
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 1: to our franchisees. Until this world. We are not Grandma's food.

1886
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:31,520
Speaker 1: We are Grandma two points. Oh we Grandma on steroids.

1887
01:47:31,600 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 1: Best believe that way. We'll just we did authenticity of

1888
01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:38,519
Speaker 1: revision that we elevated and we innovated so that you

1889
01:47:38,560 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 1: know what it can be presented with all the other

1890
01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:44,439
Speaker 1: great culinary disease. But this was differently. This was excited me.

1891
01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:50,000
Speaker 1: I've seen taco restaurants explain Mexican restaurants to expand Hamburger

1892
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:54,120
Speaker 1: Chicken in my lifetime. I've seen Popeye's grow, I've seen

1893
01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:56,600
Speaker 1: Chick fil A explode in my lifetime. You know what

1894
01:47:56,640 --> 01:47:59,759
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I've seen golden carrals go across this country,

1895
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, and so now, but why now, why why

1896
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 1: hasn't that happened? That was it? Was it? The technology

1897
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:10,080
Speaker 1: was that the principle, like you said earlier in the conversation,

1898
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 1: A lot of times quality the restaurant like that are

1899
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:15,200
Speaker 1: buried deep in the black neighborhoods. You know, they don't

1900
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 1: they don't have the sense of technology saying that we're

1901
01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 1: gonna do door dads, We're gonna do uber we're gonna

1902
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 1: have the technology when you walk up there, you've got

1903
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:26,200
Speaker 1: the iPads and all these things. What did you see?

1904
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:28,960
Speaker 1: What research did you say? That they set out and

1905
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:30,840
Speaker 1: you say, man, we can do this. This is time

1906
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 1: for this is our time. This is the celebrity soul

1907
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:36,920
Speaker 1: food time. Well, you know, one of the things that

1908
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:40,599
Speaker 1: I saw is and then it's going back to and uh,

1909
01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:44,040
Speaker 1: kudos to you man. Is what I saw is you

1910
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 1: know what, Um, I stopped thinking too small, but I

1911
01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 1: set on this thing. I I just set out to

1912
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:53,320
Speaker 1: open my restaurant. You know what I mean? This has

1913
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:55,320
Speaker 1: to be a lot of changing and it has to

1914
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:58,080
Speaker 1: be inspired for all their room at the table. So

1915
01:48:58,200 --> 01:49:00,840
Speaker 1: the first thing that I did is, you know, wait, um,

1916
01:49:01,080 --> 01:49:03,599
Speaker 1: first of all, I build relationships with an amazing developer

1917
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:06,439
Speaker 1: because the location, we see it matters, but it really

1918
01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:10,000
Speaker 1: does when you have to buy from location. The other

1919
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:12,560
Speaker 1: things that you mentioned is technology and people are so

1920
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:16,000
Speaker 1: behind the millennials and those that's coming behind them are

1921
01:49:16,080 --> 01:49:18,760
Speaker 1: on the absolute their phone. They won't break quality, and

1922
01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:20,599
Speaker 1: they wanted fast. They want to be on their phone.

1923
01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:23,120
Speaker 1: They want to move with technology. And so we added

1924
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:25,639
Speaker 1: that to our restaurant, Dinney. We went as far as

1925
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:29,679
Speaker 1: even implementing robots inside of our our restaurants that assist

1926
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:32,479
Speaker 1: the servers, which is the second enough providing that great

1927
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:36,800
Speaker 1: technological experience, but more slow than that, it goes back

1928
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 1: to the operator themselves. You know, many people are open

1929
01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:44,040
Speaker 1: their restaurants without building brain quality. And that's something that

1930
01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:46,240
Speaker 1: you talk a lot about on your show, is that

1931
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:49,200
Speaker 1: bring me and the boards are building that value. And

1932
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 1: so they launched uh what I call a moment pop

1933
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:54,559
Speaker 1: and crulse for them, But I believe those days are over.

1934
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,799
Speaker 1: You have to build brand. You have to build systems,

1935
01:49:57,840 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 1: which mean said, you can be in this particul a situation.

1936
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 1: You could be great at cooking, but you'd be poorly

1937
01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:07,000
Speaker 1: at business. You have to have administrative ability. And then

1938
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:10,519
Speaker 1: I've seen celebrities open restaurants which they got a great name,

1939
01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:13,840
Speaker 1: but they have no systems, no uh and no UM,

1940
01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:19,080
Speaker 1: no concept of knowing shelf work in them of what happened,

1941
01:50:19,120 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 1: so they don't last. And so many people, you know,

1942
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:23,320
Speaker 1: but when we deal with our franchisees, we better them

1943
01:50:23,360 --> 01:50:25,479
Speaker 1: all around the country, but we take them to our

1944
01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:28,720
Speaker 1: processes because you must have us you know, set and

1945
01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:30,840
Speaker 1: you must be able to follow the systems that are

1946
01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:34,440
Speaker 1: in place to make sure that everything stay in compliance,

1947
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:36,599
Speaker 1: that no matter where you go out in the world,

1948
01:50:36,960 --> 01:50:40,080
Speaker 1: that you always be that consistency of that great That

1949
01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:43,360
Speaker 1: is so important to thank you, Doc when you talk

1950
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:45,439
Speaker 1: about this, because, like I said, you know, you see

1951
01:50:45,439 --> 01:50:47,600
Speaker 1: wing stops out there, you see the fund records out there,

1952
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:51,040
Speaker 1: you see you see all these these Hamburgers places that

1953
01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:53,800
Speaker 1: are popping up left and right. Now. Talk about that

1954
01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 1: whole franchise franchise process, because it was really important that

1955
01:50:58,120 --> 01:51:00,280
Speaker 1: you're not just taking that money, you're trained in them

1956
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:03,479
Speaker 1: and doctoring them into the way this restaurant business should

1957
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:06,400
Speaker 1: be run. The quality means that plate would be the

1958
01:51:06,479 --> 01:51:09,200
Speaker 1: same in San Francisco as it will be in Houston, Texas,

1959
01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:12,559
Speaker 1: as it will be in Chicago. That's where people fail.

1960
01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:15,120
Speaker 1: Like I said, I remember, Sylvia was the bomb in

1961
01:51:15,320 --> 01:51:17,400
Speaker 1: New York City. Hall of then it went out to

1962
01:51:17,479 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 1: d C. Expand to Atlanta. Maybe that was it, you know,

1963
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:25,160
Speaker 1: and that's where the business conversation comes in. So that's

1964
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:27,080
Speaker 1: why I was excited to get you on the show.

1965
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:29,360
Speaker 1: I want to be a part of putting the word

1966
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:33,320
Speaker 1: out about your franchising capabilities. Let's talk about that whole

1967
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 1: thing that you're talking about, nurturing that business nurturing that

1968
01:51:36,160 --> 01:51:39,320
Speaker 1: you're talking about in the whole the whole celebrity soul

1969
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:42,840
Speaker 1: food franchise e model. Well, you know what if it

1970
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:44,519
Speaker 1: is the first thing I did is that nobody can

1971
01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:47,120
Speaker 1: do anything right about themselves. So I went and I

1972
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:49,519
Speaker 1: found the best of the best and the most elite

1973
01:51:49,640 --> 01:51:52,559
Speaker 1: leaders in their space in this industry, and I put

1974
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:54,680
Speaker 1: them on my team. So you're talking about I have

1975
01:51:54,800 --> 01:51:58,439
Speaker 1: a CSO, I have a CFO, I have an operations person,

1976
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:00,800
Speaker 1: I have a corporate shell. I put a team together

1977
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:03,560
Speaker 1: that when we bring in and we bet these franchisees

1978
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:06,320
Speaker 1: from around the countries, we're not just making money deals.

1979
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:09,080
Speaker 1: We invest in people, which means that before we get

1980
01:52:09,120 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 1: to the liquidity and what you do and do not

1981
01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:13,360
Speaker 1: have because we can assist you and help you find

1982
01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:15,840
Speaker 1: your project. Its first, it's about you. First of all,

1983
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:18,080
Speaker 1: are you too burned out to presume your pursue your

1984
01:52:18,120 --> 01:52:20,360
Speaker 1: own dream? Are you still ready to work hard and

1985
01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:22,920
Speaker 1: to get it in? And it secondly is pain your

1986
01:52:22,960 --> 01:52:26,320
Speaker 1: fallows systems because sometimes people are so selfish and so

1987
01:52:26,439 --> 01:52:28,720
Speaker 1: self centered they want to do it their own way,

1988
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:30,320
Speaker 1: and the reality of it is, if they could have

1989
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:31,800
Speaker 1: did it their own way, they would have did it

1990
01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 1: by now. But if you're going to get in a

1991
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 1: vehicle that's bigger than yourself and we are part of

1992
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:39,880
Speaker 1: making history, you have to adhere to systems. And that's

1993
01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:42,160
Speaker 1: where my team is great about because we train, we

1994
01:52:42,320 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 1: invest in our franchisees, but only in the operators that

1995
01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:48,280
Speaker 1: are willing to adhere to those boundaries. Because the reality

1996
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:50,720
Speaker 1: is this, It goes back to the moment pops. You know,

1997
01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:53,679
Speaker 1: you can go in on Monday and let's say Grandma's

1998
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,519
Speaker 1: there and the food is a maybe. But when Grandma

1999
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:58,559
Speaker 1: passes away, oftentimes what you find is that the kids

2000
01:52:58,640 --> 01:53:00,759
Speaker 1: mess it all up. The restaurant was out of business.

2001
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:03,960
Speaker 1: You know why. No systems in place, and nobody could

2002
01:53:04,040 --> 01:53:07,720
Speaker 1: ever scale Grandma. No one could never package Roma. And

2003
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:10,519
Speaker 1: that take investing, and that takes time, and that's what

2004
01:53:10,720 --> 01:53:12,679
Speaker 1: we've done and that's what takes us to the next level.

2005
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:15,200
Speaker 1: So when we invite people here and you know, we've

2006
01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 1: got calls and applications, we probably get a thousand a day. Really,

2007
01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:21,640
Speaker 1: all of the people all around the world from to

2008
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:24,800
Speaker 1: buy all the way to some of your biggest theme

2009
01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:28,280
Speaker 1: parks or one of the individuals. But ships, you're gonna

2010
01:53:28,479 --> 01:53:30,800
Speaker 1: cruise ships too. It's about the passion and the love

2011
01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:33,320
Speaker 1: of the cuisine and wanting to present us in a

2012
01:53:33,400 --> 01:53:35,759
Speaker 1: way to say you no way, thank God for Grandma

2013
01:53:36,120 --> 01:53:37,800
Speaker 1: and what it is and Grandma and him and all

2014
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:39,920
Speaker 1: that little stuff. And that's really being homage to it

2015
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:42,360
Speaker 1: and do it right. And we're doing it the right way. Well,

2016
01:53:42,400 --> 01:53:46,760
Speaker 1: you know you said it. You know, theme parks, airports,

2017
01:53:47,439 --> 01:53:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, this is franchising, this is what This is

2018
01:53:50,040 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 1: the mindset that you're under being able to to do

2019
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:56,400
Speaker 1: a two hundred store national roll out. What is the

2020
01:53:56,520 --> 01:54:01,200
Speaker 1: mindset of that? Dr Jacobs, Well, what is is that,

2021
01:54:01,439 --> 01:54:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, the mindset and is first of all, uh

2022
01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:08,040
Speaker 1: unity and diversification, you know, inclusion. And that's what people

2023
01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:10,600
Speaker 1: messed up is because they want to hold it hostage.

2024
01:54:10,840 --> 01:54:14,280
Speaker 1: Soul food is not a baby. It's grown, it's graduated college.

2025
01:54:14,880 --> 01:54:18,120
Speaker 1: It's right, but you're holding it constitution and you didn't

2026
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:19,680
Speaker 1: you don't want to share it with the world, and

2027
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:21,640
Speaker 1: that's why they put it in some of those the

2028
01:54:21,640 --> 01:54:23,960
Speaker 1: neighborhoods that they do. But this belongs to all people.

2029
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:26,080
Speaker 1: That's a story that go with this. But guess what

2030
01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:29,439
Speaker 1: from all cultures can participate in it. So we crossed over.

2031
01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:33,520
Speaker 1: It's for African Americans for all those other culches who

2032
01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:35,720
Speaker 1: were having to say, you know what, it's many things

2033
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:38,080
Speaker 1: we may not agree about, but there's but one thing

2034
01:54:38,200 --> 01:54:39,800
Speaker 1: we can't agree about is that we can come to

2035
01:54:39,880 --> 01:54:42,920
Speaker 1: this table, bring some amazing bread, and we definitely give

2036
01:54:42,960 --> 01:54:45,200
Speaker 1: the paper for an amazing God. And that's how I'm

2037
01:54:45,280 --> 01:54:47,600
Speaker 1: rocket about, friend, Is that how you how you have

2038
01:54:47,760 --> 01:54:50,440
Speaker 1: to feed the scalability? How do you have to feed

2039
01:54:50,840 --> 01:54:52,960
Speaker 1: its corporately? How do you have to feek is outside

2040
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 1: of oneself? You gotta think a big picture and that

2041
01:54:56,360 --> 01:54:59,360
Speaker 1: right there. You cannot have a small mind, nor can

2042
01:54:59,400 --> 01:55:03,120
Speaker 1: you go into a situation where you have no division side. Okay, cool,

2043
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:05,560
Speaker 1: Now we got the business out the way. Now let's

2044

2067
01:56:12,760 --> 01:56:15,520
Speaker 1: one of my favorites. Because I don't eat meat as

2068
01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:17,080
Speaker 1: much as I used to, I still eat me a good,

2069
01:56:17,120 --> 01:56:19,960
Speaker 1: too good meat now, but I love veggian. Somehow veggians

2070
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:23,040
Speaker 1: have become part of my brand. Now I would throw down.

2071
01:56:23,120 --> 01:56:26,760
Speaker 1: So so you had vegetarians and he had vegans. Explain

2072
01:56:26,840 --> 01:56:29,480
Speaker 1: the difference in that and how would it be presented

2073
01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:33,400
Speaker 1: on your menus? Okay? So stick for instance, Um, you

2074
01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:36,320
Speaker 1: know the vegan dynamic first of all, one of the

2075
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:39,000
Speaker 1: key items that need people who watch juditionalists don't know about.

2076
01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:42,000
Speaker 1: It's like an amazing product called jack fruit. What we

2077
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:44,160
Speaker 1: do is with with jake fruit is that we you know,

2078
01:56:44,280 --> 01:56:46,280
Speaker 1: we jerk it. Everybody know what that I mean. You

2079
01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:47,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We create a drug with it.

2080
01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:49,720
Speaker 1: But what we do is we don't just plate it.

2081
01:56:49,800 --> 01:56:51,320
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't. We don't just put it on there.

2082
01:56:51,360 --> 01:56:53,480
Speaker 1: We don't just a top of with veggie things that nature.

2083
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:55,440
Speaker 1: What we do is we have what's called a stuff

2084
01:56:55,480 --> 01:56:58,920
Speaker 1: pineapple bowl where we carve out the pineapple, we fileted

2085
01:56:59,040 --> 01:57:02,680
Speaker 1: carbon out molsted all uh. We were serving over a

2086
01:57:03,040 --> 01:57:06,440
Speaker 1: parlow or a roller rice uh. And then we infuse

2087
01:57:06,560 --> 01:57:09,640
Speaker 1: that a topping with the jack dripped fruit. Uh. And

2088
01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 1: we create our homemades. We're called bals barbecue sauce or

2089
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:15,800
Speaker 1: a sauce of trolls. I mean, we do mumbo sauce

2090
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:19,160
Speaker 1: and so many others and we uh top that item

2091
01:57:19,280 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 1: or what have you, and you can have a vegan item,

2092
01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:23,280
Speaker 1: but it's it's second to none. I mean we're not

2093
01:57:23,400 --> 01:57:26,280
Speaker 1: you're not in on just normal plating. Everything is in

2094
01:57:26,360 --> 01:57:28,440
Speaker 1: a vative. You know you have that of course. And

2095
01:57:28,480 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 1: then if I vegetarians, I mean, uh, we have so

2096
01:57:31,240 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 1: many vegetable items. Uh. You know you can have your

2097
01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:37,000
Speaker 1: collar greens. But this is where it gets really in

2098
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:40,400
Speaker 1: deep is that you don't need pork. You really don't.

2099
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:42,040
Speaker 1: All you want to do is to make sure you

2100
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:43,720
Speaker 1: have the flavor. So the way we we prep and

2101
01:57:43,840 --> 01:57:46,880
Speaker 1: prepare our greens, you can still have an amazing uh

2102
01:57:47,200 --> 01:57:50,880
Speaker 1: green experience without all the fat, without all the meat

2103
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 1: product in it, so that you can still enjoy yourself. Uh.

2104
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:55,960
Speaker 1: And then my friend, you then you're taking into the

2105
01:57:56,080 --> 01:57:59,400
Speaker 1: next level when it comes to being in a vegetarian

2106
01:57:59,440 --> 01:58:02,560
Speaker 1: and also traditions. I mean quite naturally, we have the oxtails,

2107
01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:06,360
Speaker 1: but these uxtails made its initial between the South and

2108
01:58:06,480 --> 01:58:10,920
Speaker 1: our Caribbean brothers and sisters in the Caribbeans, enridging that gap.

2109
01:58:11,240 --> 01:58:15,320
Speaker 1: So you're talking about creating a roasting and raised oxtails

2110
01:58:15,360 --> 01:58:17,560
Speaker 1: with a Demi glaze that a second to none. That

2111
01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:20,000
Speaker 1: you yourself can be at your office right now on

2112
01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:22,200
Speaker 1: the show and you can keep that same suit on,

2113
01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:24,200
Speaker 1: grab your friend and go out to dinner and have

2114
01:58:24,240 --> 01:58:26,920
Speaker 1: an amazing time and come right back into another show

2115
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:29,520
Speaker 1: because you don't feel heavy, you don't feel the argic,

2116
01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 1: and that you just had one of Grandma two point

2117
01:58:33,080 --> 01:58:36,440
Speaker 1: old best meals in the country. That's what I love

2118
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:39,720
Speaker 1: about it. This is what say. First of all, see

2119
01:58:40,640 --> 01:58:42,800
Speaker 1: it's the funny part of I've Got there's a video

2120
01:58:43,120 --> 01:58:45,080
Speaker 1: because first of all, when we start talking about dessert,

2121
01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:48,120
Speaker 1: he slid to the front of his check. Okay, then

2122
01:58:48,200 --> 01:58:50,880
Speaker 1: you start talking about the oxtail, he went to the side.

2123
01:58:51,160 --> 01:58:53,160
Speaker 1: He kint like, turned to the side. You know, an

2124
01:58:53,200 --> 01:58:56,000
Speaker 1: oxtail with that Demi glazes. You shine when you go

2125
01:58:56,120 --> 01:58:58,440
Speaker 1: out for luck, you come back out. You wouldn't be

2126
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:01,960
Speaker 1: heavy about seem loving this whole interview. And this is

2127
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:03,880
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna want you to do. I will need

2128
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:06,600
Speaker 1: some video because I'm gonna do some simulcast screen simul

2129
01:59:06,680 --> 01:59:09,320
Speaker 1: screens with you so people can show what you're talking about.

2130
01:59:09,560 --> 01:59:11,720
Speaker 1: Because you are so descriptive they actually need to see

2131
01:59:11,720 --> 01:59:14,280
Speaker 1: a photo, so we cant people fired up about everything

2132
01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:16,600
Speaker 1: that you're doing. But the last part about it that

2133
01:59:16,680 --> 01:59:18,720
Speaker 1: really was key to me was that you want to

2134
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:22,720
Speaker 1: cater to a diverse crowd. What exactly does that mean? Well,

2135
01:59:22,800 --> 01:59:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that I mean is,

2136
01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:26,760
Speaker 1: first of all, sometimes people think when they're saying diverse,

2137
01:59:26,920 --> 01:59:29,400
Speaker 1: let me first correct this they're thinking is about ethnicity.

2138
01:59:29,640 --> 01:59:31,240
Speaker 1: But the first thing of it is it's different walks

2139
01:59:31,280 --> 01:59:35,000
Speaker 1: of life. People have health issues now, people of different Asian,

2140
01:59:35,040 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 1: different dietaries. Why have you guess what we can here

2141
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:40,600
Speaker 1: and meet those feeds? Because before you get the vegan,

2142
01:59:40,680 --> 01:59:43,240
Speaker 1: vegetarian or authenticiy, what about the people who has to

2143
01:59:43,280 --> 01:59:45,920
Speaker 1: be gluten free? You know, there's so many elements to

2144
01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:48,120
Speaker 1: people's lives. But guess what, you can still come to

2145
01:59:48,200 --> 01:59:50,480
Speaker 1: our restaurant. Now, who can say that in this world

2146
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:53,760
Speaker 1: that you can go to a soulful restaurant and need

2147
01:59:53,840 --> 01:59:56,720
Speaker 1: gluten free or vegan, vegetarian, or you can be traditions

2148
01:59:56,840 --> 01:59:59,200
Speaker 1: all in one place. The second thing, though, it is

2149
01:59:59,240 --> 02:00:01,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to talk common locations and how we

2150
02:00:01,640 --> 02:00:04,640
Speaker 1: choose we put our restaurants and prime areas that a

2151
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:08,160
Speaker 1: diverse market can come to. Meaning it's not secluded to

2152
02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:11,200
Speaker 1: one side of the tracks, it's not put in one

2153
02:00:11,280 --> 02:00:14,280
Speaker 1: area for one type of people. This is about everybody.

2154
02:00:14,560 --> 02:00:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't care all the ways from wooky the same

2155
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:20,360
Speaker 1: you become a restaurant, but watch this. When you come in,

2156
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:23,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna know you're in a celebrities. You're gonna know

2157
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:26,920
Speaker 1: that we have invested and we're saying, if you've come

2158
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:29,760
Speaker 1: to spend your hard working money, we're gonna make sure

2159
02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:33,640
Speaker 1: that we provide time service to our people because people

2160
02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:35,960
Speaker 1: deserve that. And that's what's listening in this world. Before

2161
02:00:35,960 --> 02:00:38,240
Speaker 1: we get to the food, where's the service going. Where

2162
02:00:38,360 --> 02:00:41,480
Speaker 1: is the customer service people deserve that. People are hurting,

2163
02:00:41,720 --> 02:00:44,480
Speaker 1: people are spending their last My god, if somebody coming

2164
02:00:44,480 --> 02:00:48,160
Speaker 1: to your establishment to spend money to to invest back

2165
02:00:48,240 --> 02:00:51,160
Speaker 1: into you service your community. And that's what we about

2166
02:00:51,200 --> 02:00:53,080
Speaker 1: all of our franchise e s and us as a

2167
02:00:53,120 --> 02:00:55,680
Speaker 1: corporate office. We don't just take from our communities. We

2168
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:58,480
Speaker 1: go in and we change our community. We become a

2169
02:00:58,600 --> 02:01:01,400
Speaker 1: catalyst of change there, meaning we helped the sports teams,

2170
02:01:01,440 --> 02:01:04,840
Speaker 1: we helped our first responsese, we helped those who are disenfranchise.

2171
02:01:05,120 --> 02:01:07,520
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about our philanthropy work that we're doing

2172
02:01:07,600 --> 02:01:10,240
Speaker 1: as well. So you know, for me, I get real

2173
02:01:10,320 --> 02:01:13,840
Speaker 1: passionate about it is because it's about time. I mean, this, this,
