96
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 11: Carey project came up. She invited me to write along

97
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 11: with her and her writing partner, and so I went

98
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 11: to a home and she showed me where they were

99
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 11: with the song and it felt good, and they just

100
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 11: kind of wanted to have some different moments in the song,

101
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 11: and so I said down at the piano and kind

102
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 11: of just threw out some ideas of where we could

103
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 11: go with the song, how we could, you know, maybe

104
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 11: even do some different things in the bridge. And then

105
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 11: I had a whole idea for a damp kind of

106
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 11: like a tape kind of I could take them to

107
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 11: church vamp, you know, And so I sat down just

108
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 11: kind of threw out some ideas and so we co

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 11: wrote the record together and and I and I brought

110
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 11: it back to Dallas, and I put my band on it,

111
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 11: put my singers on it, kind of did my thing,

112
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 11: and I mean she really loved it and just really

113
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 11: humbling for her to be able to really connect with

114
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 11: it like that. And yeah, and and UH then Khlead

115
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 11: jumped on it and they were super dope. He's a

116
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 11: great young talent and so and so yeah, it's a

117
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 11: great opportunity to just to continue to try to have

118
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 11: the conversation about, you know, man, how gospel music and

119
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 11: the community that come from UH and just just the

120
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 11: gravity and just the breath of the people in it,

121
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 11: and and and how viable gospel music style and the

122
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 11: message and just the community is when it comes to

123
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 11: any area of music. It can be pop music, it

124
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 11: can be hip hop, it can be country music. Wherever

125
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 11: it is, this music can live there because you're talking

126
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 11: about a part of AMERICANU, right, and so you know,

127
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 11: to not only is it the good news of Jesus Christ,

128
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 11: it's also music that is the foundation of American music,

129
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 11: is the foundation of black experience here and UH and

130
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 11: Western civilization. And so because of that, you can always

131
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 11: see it's it's it's its influence, and you can always

132
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 11: see UH its impact even now. I mean, every pop artists,

133
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 11: every hip hop artists, their band are a bunch of

134
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 11: church musicians. I mean I was at a Snoops mother's

135
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 11: funeral this past week. Snoop asked me to do some

136
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 11: music for his mother's funeral, and the whole and this

137
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 11: whole band is church guys. That's what I was able

138
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 11: to just and I didn't have one rehearsal. I didn't

139
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 11: have one rehearsal. I just jumped on the piano with

140
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 11: the singers and we were able to go from somebody

141
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 11: to name Jesus to slivering to my life is in

142
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 11: your hands, because I mean, you know, we all speak

143
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 11: that same language. And so it was really exciting to

144
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 11: bring that essence UH music into the Mariah Carey song.

145
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 11: And it's very humbling to bring that that essence of

146
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 11: culture music to even now scripted programming and to visual

147
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 11: to visual platforms like Kirk Franklin's A Gospel Christ.

148
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: Hold on, you got too much. You ain't gonna slide

149
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: through these different things. I gotta stop on great moments

150
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: now you and you out there with you talking I had,

151
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: I had Mariah Carey come on down the Dallas and

152
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: mix it up with the band, and I was a

153
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg and play with the band, and then you

154
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 1: know something about the name of Jesus who he knows.

155
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: That's my all time favorite Kirk Franklin song right there,

156
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: He's just gonna slide past that. You know, unfortunately delivered

157
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: it a sad moment for Snoop Dogg. But that's an

158
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: inspirational song to let you know there is uh, there

159
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: is uh, there is guidance for us in our sad moments,

160
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: and that type of music that you produced over the

161
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: years creates that. But I'm looking at this video, man.

162
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm kind of mad because Mariah Carey

163
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: don't age.

164
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 11: She don't age.

165
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm mad. I'm looking at going, Okay, really, Mariah, really,

166
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it like this? And then then but

167
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: then I'm enjoying. I'm enjoying the video, right Kirk. And

168
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, and then all of a sudden, Kirk,

169
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: you Kirk to fire it. You know what I'm saying.

170
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: You know you do it, man, Look come on there

171
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: with that, Kirk. I love it.

172
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 7: Man.

173
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: K hey man, because you have a style, man, you

174
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: have a presence, man, you have a and that that

175
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: that brand. Let's talk about that Kirk Franklin brand. Because,

176
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: like I said, it's really when I sit up and

177
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: think about we have been on this journey together man.

178
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: You know, you know BT celebrations of gospel. Man, we

179
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: both Texas boys, you know, all journey different TV shows

180
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: that he did or when I was doing Sister Sister,

181
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: all these different thing movie ideas. We kicked back and forth.

182
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: But what is the Kirk Franklin brand Man that you

183
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: that you built, man, because you built through your your honesty,

184
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: built through your you know, you do the performance. She

185
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: was injured and you recovered from that. So that's a

186
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: journey in life and you've been out there. But this

187
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: brand is just growing. That'schoo. It's going to allow us

188
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: to talk about these television productions that are coming up,

189
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: talk about that Kirk Franklin brand.

190
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 11: Oh well, you know this is going to probably be

191
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 11: the part of the interview that I'm going to suck

192
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 11: at the most. Is because I mean, you know me

193
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 11: better than anyone you know in this space, and I

194
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 11: am unapologetic in my faith I'm unapologetic in my Christian faith,

195
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 11: and I try very hard to live it more than

196
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 11: I preach it. It's because I think people would rather

197
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 11: see a sermon rather than hear a sermon any day.

198
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 11: And so I really believe, well unapologetic lead that everything

199
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 11: that I'm blessed to do is all by the grace

200
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 11: and kindness of the Lord. I mean, I'm not that smart,

201
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 11: I'm not that genius to have this strategy and plan.

202
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 11: There may be other people that are like that, but

203
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 11: not me. I mean I am. I am totally Whatever

204
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 11: whatever I've been blessed to do, or whatever I desire

205
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 11: to do, it's all because of the Lord's kindness. It's

206
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 11: not I don't have a remedy, you know, I don't

207
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 11: have ingredients of songwriting. These are songs that God loans me.

208
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 11: These are these are these are moments. I try to

209
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 11: be a good steward. Over one of my mentors in life,

210
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 11: that one of my mentors, doctor Tony Evans, taught me

211
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 11: is I'm a manager of everything, but I'm an owner

212
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 11: of nothing that everything, that everything belongs to God. And

213
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 11: so I'm just a steward. I'm just a manager of moments.

214
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 11: And so you know, and and and I align with

215
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 11: that ideal, those those those those constructs of what I

216
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 11: subscribe to. And it's it's it's by the grace and

217
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 11: kindness of Christ.

218
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: You know, you know, it's beautiful. Else because doctor Tony Evans,

219
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: he was on my show last week and Forscilla Shire

220
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: and that's dope. And you know, it's it's just watching

221
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: my show Shift. You know, it's about money making conversation,

222
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: but it's about life. It's about journeys and things like that.

223
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: And when I look at what you're doing. The movie

224
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: I saw, you know, the stars McKinnie and stars Chad

225
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: lamuon Shepard, Regina Bell comes a Fire at the very

226
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: top of its you know, leading the church and strong

227
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: women and female characters. That's what that was My number

228
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: one takeaway from this particular project was that was that?

229
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Was that a purposeful motion of uh uh take on

230
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: this particular script. You wanted to do a movie that

231
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: they show women, especially black women, in power in this

232
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: manner because they are very, very directive. They're showing leadership,

233
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: they showing sensitivity, they showing artists all these dings. That's

234
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: what's my number one takeaway from this, which I thought

235
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: was fantastic.

236
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, that is no doubt a mandate for Lifetime. Lifetime

237
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 11: is very committed to diversity and to be able to

238
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 11: give women, especially women of color, opportunities in front of

239
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 11: big camera, behind the camera. And so it is uh

240
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 11: uh very much intentional. And even from from the writer

241
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 11: of the movie to the to other EPs that are

242
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 11: being deparject with me, Tracy, Twinkie Bird and uh Leslie

243
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 11: Grief and and and and just so many others, is

244
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 11: is that it is it is intentional to be able

245
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 11: to show the diversity of who we are as people

246
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 11: of color. And I even think the Lifetime even allowing

247
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 11: me to brand the movie Kirk Franklin's The Gospel Christmas

248
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 11: shows even their commitment to diversity to even genres. Uh.

249
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 11: To be able to show that there's a viability within

250
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 11: this space, to be able to bring to even allow

251
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 11: somebody for my community, to be able to to to

252
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 11: brand a movie that they spend me the dollars to

253
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 11: make is something that I'm very humbled of and and

254
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 11: I and I and I pray that the community comes

255
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 11: out and supports it to be able to show uh,

256
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 11: Networks is because you and I both know. I'm uh,

257
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 11: you know, TV and film they're not in the missionary business.

258
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 11: You know, they're in the money business. Yes and so

259
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 11: and so it is very important that if we want

260
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 11: inspirational and aspirational entertainment, that we've got to show up,

261
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 11: that we've got to be able to show up in

262
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 11: the numbers. Like for example, in twenty twenty, Lifetime was

263
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 11: the number one holiday movie destination with over seventy one

264
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 11: point eight million viewers watching this type of programming for

265
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 11: the holidays. And so with Kirk Franklins the Gospel Christmas,

266
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 11: I would really love to show them that people really

267
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 11: love this genre of music and that they're going to

268
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 11: show up because they get excited like this. This movie

269
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 11: will feature reimagine versions of Christmas songs for My Christmas

270
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 11: album you'll probably the Christmas album in nineteen ninety five,

271
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 11: and so the theme of the script was built around

272
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 11: songs for My Christmas album and they've been reimagined for

273
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 11: this movie. And so it's going to be super dope

274
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 11: and it's going to be a very good, snuggy movie.

275
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 11: Get you some hot co co and and put your

276
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 11: one zone.

277
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,200

Speaker 1: winning gospel singer, songwriter, arranger and producer Kurt Franklin. Well,

315
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: first of all, you know it's a romance. You know

316
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: it's romantic. Attractive beads. Charles Labus Sheppard, Like I said,

317
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: Charles l. Bus Sheppard before we go back to Steve

318
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: Harvey and I when we did his very first sitcom,

319
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: Me and the Boys, back in ninety four, chand Labus

320
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: Shephard was one of the kids on the show. So

321
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: I've been knowing Chess all the way back since ninety four.

322
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: And then Dimitri McKinney, I've been knowing us since on

323
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: my show, met her wonderful son. She's a powerful single mom.

324
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: And then Regina mal So when I watch a show

325
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: like this like that, I just had Kelly Rowland and

326
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: uh Bresha Webb on the show talking about their Lifetime project.

327
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: Only reason I bring up in interview is that Lifetime

328
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: is making a commit to diversity. Like you were saying,

329
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: this is not a war. They're comfortable with putting us

330
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: people of color on their network. That's important for us

331
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: to see, correct.

332
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 11: Very important just because we we we have heard what's

333
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 11: been coined as this new phrase, but it's really true

334
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 11: across all cultural UH formats, is that representation matters, and

335
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 11: so that matters in any aspect. It's not on the

336
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 11: gender gender equality, but it's also race equality and and so, uh,

337
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 11: these things matter, these these these things matter to also

338
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 11: be able to address some of the key line things

339
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 11: that systematically divide us, like socioeconomic equality or disparity. And

340
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 11: so when when black folks are able to write scripts

341
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 11: and to be behind the camera and to work on movies,

342
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 11: then now what you're doing is that you're making that

343
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 11: playground a more more more fair opportunity for all people.

344
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 11: Is because you're not only seeing us with needs on

345
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 11: our necks in the street. You're saying that we want

346
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 11: to be able to show a bigger image of the

347
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 11: hopefulness that can come from a community of people.

348
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the beauty of you know, like I

349
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: was mentioning, like I was interviewing, doctor Tony Evans, based

350
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: out of Dallas, is about his documentary and his journey

351
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: and what I call him is a visual bible. Is

352
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: beautiful going back to with his family and all that stuff.

353
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: His wife is in it before she passed away, he said,

354
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: daddy who's recently passed away. So it's an emotional story.

355
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: But what I want to say is that my life

356
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: have I seen this amount of black culture on so

357
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: many different unique mainstreams you know, and that's the beauty

358
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: of where we're living at, Kirk, and for you to

359
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: be a person who you know, who has come through

360
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: the lens of music and music allows you to produce

361
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 1: videos and be a part of that directorial. And one

362
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: of the I'm gonna tell you one of the all

363
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: time great funny entertaining videos is when Kurt spoofed himself

364
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: with Steve Harvey Beck. If y'all find that video, that's

365
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: one of the funniest videos of all time where they

366
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: do a of or Eddie Murphy. Yeah, that's one of

367
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: the all time great This brother right here is very funny.

368
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: I just popped in my head when I was thinking

369
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: about you laughing about that, man. But when you look

370
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: at these transitions, man, now you're about to do a series,

371
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: eight episode series that explores the gospel music industry through

372
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 1: the lens family, faith, love, and redemptive power of music.

373
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: That's the power of gospel music is the redemptive pole.

374
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: That's what I got out of show your movie. That

375
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: was just watching you know, Kirk Franklin's Gospel Christmas is

376
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: redemptive because of the fact that in her she doubted herself.

377
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: She didn't believe she could accomplish the task that her

378
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: parents knew she could do. And that's really powerful content

379
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: for young people to see, and especially for black people

380
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: to see.

381
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, yes, yes it is. I think that that

382
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 11: that that the the narrative of the black experience in

383
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 11: North America is so transferable uh over socioeconomic lines uh

384
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 11: uh uh religious lines, uh, lines of academia and scholarship.

385
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 11: Is because as people of color, we speak these these

386
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 11: secret languages, these these these these waves and and and

387
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 11: and and these energies that that are just transferable to

388
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 11: our people. We we we know what this means. As

389
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 11: you know, we know what this means. Yes, you know

390
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 11: what I'm saying. You know, you know, you know, you know.

391
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 11: And if we understand it, if you went to an

392
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 11: HBCU or if you went to an Ivy League school,

393
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 11: you understand the heartbeat of our people and soul. For

394
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 11: Hollywood two uh, to not always continue to appropriate our experience,

395
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 11: but to include us and our own stories, it just

396
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 11: makes for a for for for a more civil society

397
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 11: when people feel like they matter and their experiences are

398
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 11: not being pagiarized. But but but they are being they

399
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 11: are being compensated for the uniqueness of how God made it.

400

442
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,320

443
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 11: the moments that the that the script requires. And it

444
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 11: was a wonderful opportunity. It was hard. I'm in the

445

452
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,080

Speaker 11: scripts to be able to know exact what's happening, you know.

454

Speaker 2: Really, did you know?

643
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: What really is really is so good about is your

644
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: your facial skin looks amazing. It looks, it just glows.

645
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: It's just your your skin tone, your eyes, everything, your neck,

646
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: all those areas where you see weight loss can like

647
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: really be a detriment because it showed really is complimenting

648
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: you because you know it looks great.

649
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 2: Talk about that, well, thank you so much.

650
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 16: You know, I'm a firm, a really really firm believer

651
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 16: in how you.

652
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: Feel on the inside will come out on the outside.

653
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 16: So a lot of water is what they really make

654
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 16: you drink. You stay hydrated, your skin's gonna look good.

655
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 16: But being happy on the inside, I think it comes

656
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 16: out because people are always like, You're always so happy.

657
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 16: I really try to maintain that because I like to

658
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 16: be an inspiration to so many people, so I think

659
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 16: that's what and when I look good and feel good,

660
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 16: then I'm even happier. You know, it's an up and

661
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 16: down thing. You know, even if I lost thirty pounds,

662
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 16: you know, I might have gained some back right now,

663
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 16: and now it's just I get back on the journey.

664
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 16: I mean, I never stopped. But then you have to

665
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 16: you know, work out some more, drink some more water.

666
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 16: So it's a constant struggle because it didn't take me

667
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 16: this many years to get that size. So it's not

668
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 16: gonna be an overnight thing. And one thing, I'm a

669
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 16: true believer, and I tell people Tomorrow's gonna come and

672
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,160

Speaker 2: Is gonna come, Christmas gonna come.

676
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,520

00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: certain people lose weight and they don't look like they

682

Speaker 1: they don't look like they are. You know, they lose

683

703
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: and your son's life you can't let every man just

704
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: roll up in there. And she got a house. You know,

705

712
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: the cute face the successful year because what she is

713
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: not going to do is be disrespected and then show

714
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: her young man that she's building. This is how I

715
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: allow men to treat me, so he'll treat women like

716
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: that too. She goes, you know, no, I know, Kim,

717
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,720

00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: by kitting her man. She knows. She's a different point

719
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: of like cause one point, as you get older, you

720
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: want that relationship, but it has to be for the

721
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:28,520

Speaker 16: Yes, look, you hit all of that because it was

858
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 16: difficult because these are regular everyday people.

859
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: They're not used to television.

860
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,640

865
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 16: happy and they don't even.

866
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: Know what to how to express themselves. It was a mess.

867
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 16: And then you have the judges. You know, they don't

868
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 16: want to taste the stuff, but they do want it.

869
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 2: Was maybe we were having problems.

870
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 16: You know. It was a lot going on, which actually

871
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 16: made it for a good show.

872
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely, We all like, you want that uncertainty, but it

873
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, let's go be real about it. Because you host,

874
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: so it's kind of like, you know, if you're the

875
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: circus and the elephants don't come out, then you got

876
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: a problem. You know what I'm saying. Where the elephants at?

877
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: So you have to make sure the energy stays the same.

878
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: So you're in a lot of pressure, Kim to host.

879
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,959
Speaker 2: This shows a lot. There was one.

880
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,799

00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 16: let me, I gotta talk to producers.

Speaker 2: I was like, uh, is he gonna be all right?

884
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 16: You know?

885
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 2: Because people were getting upset. It was a lot.

886
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: Now it's Christmas time, you know, this is so what

921
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't you know, you gotta I gotta have my recipe.

922
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: I gotta know all that stuff. You know, that's because

923
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: you learned that on the Worst Cook episode.

924
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 2: I don't know how these people. These people were cooking

925
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 2: without a recipe.

926
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's what part that makes it interesting, but

927
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: also can be frustrated because, as you know, too much

928
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: salt changes the recipe, too much, you know, not enough

929
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: water changes the recipe of all your contestany what was

930
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: the most challenging part of the show. We're balancing the

931
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: judge's energy because you got to keep them engaged and

932
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: then and then also you have to stop them from

933
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: going too far, you know, with comments and criticisms, talk

934
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: about that, Wow.

935
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 2: Your questions are difficult and interesting, you know. It was it.

936
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,879
Speaker 16: Was the balance of wanting the contestants to still have

937
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 16: fun and be competitive and don't give up, yes, And for.

938
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 2: The judges not to be too judgmental.

939
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 16: Yes, and for everyone to have fun.

940
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: That was the thing.

941
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 16: It's a competition, it's five thousand dollars. It's not the

942
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 16: you know, end all, be all some money. But to

943
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 16: think of it as an opportunity to just have a

944
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 16: good time and share your recipes. I think that was

945
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 16: the hardest part. And not hurting anybody's feelings. That was

946
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,959
Speaker 16: It was a difficult It was a tight rope.

947
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,439
Speaker 1: Right right when we're talking to Kim, she just start

948
