84
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: looked up to for so long. Um. Yeah, the Mariah

85
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: Carey project came. Um she invited me to write along

86
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: with her and her writing partner, and so I went

87
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: to her home and she showed me where they were

88
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: with the song and it felt good, and they just

89
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to have some different moments in the song,

90
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: and so I said that at the piano kind of

91
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: just through some ideas of where we could go with

92
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: the song, how we could, you know, maybe even do

93
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: some different things in the bridge. And then I had

94
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: a whole idea for a vamp kind of like a

95
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: tape kind of I could take him to church vamp,

96
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, And so um, I sat down and kind

97
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: of through some ideas and so we co wrote the

98
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: record together and and I and I brought it back

99
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: to Dallas, and I put my band on it, put

100
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: my singers on it, kind of did my thing, and uh,

101
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: I mean, she really loved it. And it's really humbling

102
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: for her to be able to really connect with it

103
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: like that. And um yeah, and and then UH colead

104
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: jumped on it and they were super dope. He is

105
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: a great young talent and so and so yeah, it's

106
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: a great opportunity to just to continue to try to

107
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: have the conversation about you know, man, how gospel music

108
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: and the community did not come from uh and just

109
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: just the gravity and just the breath of the people

110
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: in it, and and and how viable gospel music style

111
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: and the message in just the community is when it

112
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: comes to any area of music, it could be pop music,

113
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: it could be hip public can be country music. Wherever

114
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: it is, this music can live there because you're talking

115
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: about a part of Americano and so you know, to

116
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: not only is it the good news of Jesus christis

117
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: also music that is the foundation of American music, is

118
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: the foundation of black experience here and uh and Western

119
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: civilization and so Because of that, you can always see

120
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's influence, and you can always see

121
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: uh it's impact even now. I mean, every pop artists,

122
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: every hip hop artists, their band are a bunch of

123
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: church musicians. I mean, I was at A Snoop's mother's

124
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: funeral this past week. Snoop asked me to do it

125
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: to music for his mother's funeral, and the whole and

126
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: his whole band there's church guys. That's why I be

127
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: able to just and I didn't have one rehearsal. I

128
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: didn't have one rehearsal. I just jumped on the piano

129
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: with the singers and we were able to go from

130
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: some about the name Jesus to to to my life

131
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: is in your hands, because I mean, you know, we

132
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: all speak that same language. And so it was really

133
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: exciting to bring that essence UH music and to the

134
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: Mariah Harry song. And it's very humbling to bring that

135
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: that essence of culture music to even now scripted programming

136
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: and to visual to visual platforms like UH, Kirk Franklin's

137
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: and gospel. Chris hold on k, you got too much.

138
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna slide through these different things. I gotta stop

139
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: on great moments. Now you're out there with you something

140
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: I had, I had Mariah carry come on down the

141
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: Dallas and mix it up with the band, and I

142
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: was a Snoop Dogg and played with the band and

143
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 1: then you know something about the name of Jesus who

144
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: he knows. That's my all time favorite Kirk Tank song

145
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: right there, He's just gonna slide past that. You know,

146
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: the unfortunately delivered as a sad moment for Snoop Dogg.

147
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: But that's an inspirational song. And let you know, there is, uh,

148
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: there is, there's guidance for us in our sad moments,

149
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: and that type of music that you produced over the

150
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: years creates that. But I'm looking at this video, man.

151
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm kind of mad because Maria Carry

152
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: don't age. She don't age. Man, I'm looking at Okay, really, Maria,

153
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: really you're gonna do it like this? And then then

154
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: but then I'm enjoying. I'm enjoying the video, right, Kurt.

155
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, and then all a sudden, Kirk,

156
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: you you kirtified it. You know what I'm saying. You

157
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: know you're doing, Man, come on there with that kurrect tone.

158
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: I love it man, after a little hey man, because

159
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: you have a style, man, you have a presence, man,

160
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: you have a and that that that brand. Let's talk

161
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: about that Kurt Franklin brand, because, like I said, it's

162
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: really when I set up and think about we have

163
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: been on this journey together. Man. You know, you know

164
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: BT celebrations of gospel. Man, we both Texas boys, you know,

165
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: all journey. Different TV shows that you did or when

166
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: I was doing Sister Sister, all these different things, movie ideas.

167
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: We kicked back and forth. But what is the Kurt

168
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: Franklin brand Man that you that you built, man, because

169
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: you built through your your honesty, built through your you

170
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: know you through the performance. She was injured and you

171
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: you covered from that. So that's a journey in life

172
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: and you've been out there. But this brand is just growing.

173
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: That school. It's gonna allow us to talk about these

174
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: television productions that are coming up. Talk about that Kurt

175
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 1: Franklin brand. Uh. Well, you know this is going to

176
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: probably the part of the interview that I'm going to

177
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: suck at the most because I mean, you know me

178
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: better than anyone you know in this space, and I

179
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: am unapologetic in my faith. I'm unapologetic in my Christian

180
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: faith and I and I try to very hard to

181
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: live it more than I preach. It is because I

182
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: think people would rather see a sermon rather than here

183
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: a sermon any day. And so I really believe, well

184
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: unapologetic lead that everything that I'm blessed to do, it's

185
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: all by the grace and kindness of the Lord. I mean,

186
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm not that smart, I'm not that genius to have

187
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: this strategy and plant. There may be other people that

188
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: are like that, but not me. I mean I am.

189
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: I am totally whatever. Whatever I've been blessed to do

190
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: or whatever I desire to do, is it's all because

191
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: of the Lord's kindness. It's it's it's not I don't

192
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: have a rimed, you know, I don't. I don't have

193
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: ingredients of songwriting. These are songs that God loans me.

194
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: These are these are these are moments I try to

195
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: be a good steward over um. One of my mentors

196
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: in life that one of my mentors, Dr Tony Evans

197
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: taught me is I'm a manager of everything, but I'm

198
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: an owner of nothing. That everything that everything belongs to

199
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: God and so I'm just a steward. I'm just a

200
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: manager of moments and so um, you know, and and

201
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: and I aligned with that ideal, those those those those

202
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: constructs of what I subscribe to. And it's it's it's

203
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: a boy the grace and kindness of Christ, you know.

204
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: So you know it's beautiful because Dr Tony Evans he

205
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: was on my show last week and the Priscilla Shire

206
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: and her son and it's just watching my show Shift.

207
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's about money making conversations, but it's about life.

208
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: It's about journeys and things like that. When I look

209
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: at what you're doing. Um, the movie I saw, you

210
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: know their stars uh um McKinney and stars chas Lamar

211
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: Shepherd and Regina Bear comes up fire at the very

212
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: top of its you know, leading the church and strong

213
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: women and female characters. That's what that was My number

214
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: one takeaway from this particular project was that was that

215
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: was that a purposeful motion of uh take on this

216
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: particular script. You wanted to do a movie that had

217
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: the show women, especially black women, empowered in this manner

218
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: because they are very very um a directive their short leadership,

219
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: they're showing sensitivity, they're showing arts all these days. That's

220
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: my number one takeaway from this, which I thought was fantastic. Yeah,

221
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: that is no doubt a mandate for Lifetime. Lifetime is

222
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: very committed to UH, to diversity and to be able

223
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: to give women, especially women of color, opportunities in front

224
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: of the camera, behind the camera, and so um um

225
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: it is UH very much intentional. And and even from

226
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: from the writer of the movie to the to other

227
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: EPs that repeiing de parject with me, Tracy Tweinky Bird

228
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: and uh Leslie Grief and and and and just so

229
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: many others, is is that it is it is intentional

230
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: to be able to show the diversity of who we

231
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: are as people of color. And I even think that

232
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: Lifetime even allowing me to brand the movie Kirk Franklin's

233
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: and Gospel Christmas shows even their commitment to diversity to

234
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: even genres. UH. To be able to show that there's

235
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: a viability within the space, to be able to bring

236
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: to even allow somebody from my community to be able

237
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: to to brand the movie that they spend million of

238
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: dollars to make. It is something that I'm very humbled

239
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: of and and I and I and I pray that

240
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: the community comes out and supports it to be able

241
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: to show UH networks is because you and I both

242
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: know I'm UH. You know, TV and film, they're not

243
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: in the missionary business, you know, their money business, and

244
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: so and so it is very important that if we

245
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: want UH inspirational and aspirational entertainment, that we've got to

246
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: show up. That we've got to be able to show

247
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: up in the numbers. Like for example, in Lifetime was

248
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: the number one holiday movie destination, but over seventy one

249
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: eight million viewers watching this type of programming for the holidays.

250
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: And so with Kirk Franklin's The Gospel Christmas, I would

251
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: really love to show them that people really love this

252
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: genre of music and that they're going to show up

253
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: because they get excited like this. This movie will feature

254
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: reimagined versions of Christmas songs from my Christmas album You've

255
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: Got Me the Christmas Album in and so the theme

256
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: of the script was built around UH songs for my

257
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: Christmas album, and they've been reimagining UH for this movie.

258
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: And so it's going to be super dope and it's

259
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be a very good, snuggy movie. Get

260
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: you some hot co co and UH and put you

261

279
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: Sure no one else grows in the forest. Our imagination,

280
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: our sense of wonder, and our family bonds grow too,

281
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: because when we disconnect from this and connect with this,

282
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: we reconnect with each other. The forest is closer than

283

298
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: First of all, you know it's a romance. You know,

299
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: it's romance and attractive beads. Charles Lamar Sheppard, like I said,

300
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: it's Charles the Shipper. Before we go back to Steve

301
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: Harvey and I when we did this very first sitcom,

302

Speaker 1: Me and the Boys back in ninety four, Chas Lamar

303
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: Sheppard was one of the kids on the show. So

304
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: I've been doing a chance all the way back to

305
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: his ninety four and then uh Dmitria McKinney, I've been

306
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,520

Speaker 1: She's a powerful single mom. And then Regina Well, so

308
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: when I when I watch a show like this, like

309
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: I said, I just had Kelly Rowland and uh Precia

310
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: Webb on the show talking about their life Time project.

311
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: All the reason I bringing up in interviews that Lifetime

312
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: is making a commit meant to diversity. Like you were saying,

313
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: this is not a warm They're comfortable with putting us

314
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: people of color on their network. That's important for us

315
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: to see, correct, very important. But just because we we

316
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: we have heard what's been coined as this new UH phrase,

317
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: but it's really true across all cultural UH formats, is

318
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: that representation matters, and so that matters in any aspect.

319
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: Uh it's not on the gender, I uh, gender equality,

320
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: but it's also racing equality and and so uh these

321
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: things matter. These these these things matter to also be

322
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: able to address some of the key line things that

323
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: systemically divide us, like socio economic equality or disparity. And

324
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: so when when black folk are able to write scripts

325
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: and to be behind the camera into workal movies, then

326
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: now what you're doing is that you're making that that

327
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: playground a a more more more fair opportunity for all people.

328
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: Is because you're not only seeing us with with needs

329
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: on our next in the street. You're saying that we

330
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: want to be able to show a bigger image of

331
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: the hopefulness that can come from a community of people. Well,

332
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: you know the beauty of you know, like I was mentioned,

333
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: like I was interviewing Dr Tony Evans based out of Dallas,

334
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: is about his documentary and his journey and and what

335
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: I call him as a visual bible is beautiful going

336
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: back with his family and all this stuff is his

337
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: wife is in it before she passed away and said

338
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: daddy who's recently passed away. So it's an emotional story,

339
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: but what I want to say is that never in

340
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: life have I seen this amount of black culture on

341
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: so many different unique mainstreams, you know, And that's the

342
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: beauty of where we're living at, Kirk. And for you

343
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: to be a person who you know, who has come

344
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: through the lens of music and music allows you to

345
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: produce videos and be a part of that directoral And

346
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: one of I'm telling you one of the all time

347
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: great funny, entertaining videos was when Kurt's poofed himself with

348
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey back. If y'all find that video, that's one

349
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: of the funniest videos of all time. When they do

350
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: a spoof of Eddie murphtt, that's one of the all

351
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: time This brother is very funny. I just popped in

352
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: my head when I was thinking about your laughing about that, man.

353
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: But when you look at these transitions. Man, now you're

354
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: about to do a Shooes eight episode series that explores

355
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: the gospel music industry through the lens family, faith, love,

356
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: and redemptive power of music. That's the power of gospel

357
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: music is the redemptive power. That's what I got out

358
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: to show your movie. They're just watching, you know, Kirk,

359
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: Franklin's Our Gospel Christmas is redemptive because of the fact

360
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: that in her she doubted herself. She didn't believe she

361
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: could accomplish the task that her parents knew she could do.

362
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: And that's really powerful content for young people to see,

363
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: and especially for black people to see. Yes, yes, yes, yes,

364
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: it is that. I think that that that that the

365
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: the narrative of the black experience in North America is

366
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 1: so transferable uh over socio economic lines uh um uh

367
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: religious lines, uh lines of academia and scholarship. Is because

368
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: as people of color, we speak these these secret languages,

369
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: these these these these waves and and and and and

370
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: these energies that that are just transferable to our people.

371
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: We we we know what this means. You know, we

372
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: know what this means. You know what I'm saying. You

373
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: know you know, you know you know. And if we

374
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: understand it, if you went to an h b c

375
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: U or if you went to an Ivy League school,

376
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: you understand the heartbeat of our people and soul. For

377
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: Hollywood two uh to not always continue to appropriate our experience,

378
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: but to include us in our own stories. Um, it

379
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: just makes for a for for for a more civil

380
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: society when people feel like they matter and their experiences

381
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: are not being plagiarized, but but but they are being

382
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: they are being compensated for the uniqueness of how God

383
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: made Before we get into the drama series Kingdom U

384

00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: Uh that are all the backdrop of this incredible opportunity

417
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: for music. I'm also the not only man and most

418
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: of one of the the executive produces, I'm the music supervisor

419
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,879

420
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: for every episode, every scene. Uh that that that gospel

421
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: music is now being a part of telling biggest stories

422
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: and so like you hear music, uh in the episodes

423
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: that are that are from from the culture, but they

424
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: speak to the moments that that that the script requires.

425
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: And it was a wonderful opportunity. It's hard. I'm in

426
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: the studio right now finishing one of the songs right now.

427
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: I was here to five o'clock this morning, just kind

Speaker 1: and singers while doing interviews for for Kirk Franker's and

430
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: Gospel Christmas. So, you know, it's it's, it's it's been

431
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: a lot of work because Kingdom business is a it's

432
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's it's episodic, so you know, you know,

433
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: so so you're having to wait on script to be

434
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: able to know that what's happening, you know. And I've

435
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: got a couple and and I'm also a character in

436
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: in A in A in a few of the episodes.

437
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: I make these cameos as a very left of center character.

438
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: It's not it's not what's what's what's suspected of me?

439
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: And so you know, just's I just let me tell

440
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: you what my modus OPERENDI is a life. I mean,

441
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: everything we've talked about today. The bottom line is what

442
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: I want my friend, Sean as I just want to

443
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: make God proud of you. You know when I before

444
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: we got on the mike, I was like jumping for

445
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: joy for you because you know when I see people

446
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: make transitions, and I can remember Man was on the

447
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 1: set of Sister Sister way back then, you know, and

448
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: it was like, Wow, Man, I'm seeing my brother Man,

449
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: And you know, I loved you. U was hosting the

450
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: gopel Or singing competition. I used to love that seeing

451
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: you do that, Man, and that was one of my

452
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: favorite shows just watching you Man, just just so smooth

453
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: siculate Man, just on the point and just knowing that

454
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: you cared about people where they want all loss, you know,

455
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: because it's a journey and to see you now this

456
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: is this hard breaking this this road into being a

457
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: television abuser. And you're doing both hats. You're executive producing

458
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: and also your music director. And so people understand what

459
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: he's saying. He's saying that we talked about a video

00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: skin looks amazing, it looks, it just glows. It's just

613
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,479
Speaker 1: your your skin tone, your eyes, everything's your neck, all

614
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: those areas where you see let weight logs can like

615
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: really be a detriment because it shows really is complimenting

616
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: you because you know it looks great. Talk about that. Well,

617
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: thank you so much. You know, I'm a firm, a

618
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: really really firm believer in how you feel on the

619
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: inside will come out on the outside. So, um, a

620
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: lot of water is what they really make you drink. Um,

621
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: you stay hydrated, your skin is gonna look good. But

622
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: being happy on the inside, um, I think it comes

623
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: out because people are always like you're always so happy.

624
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: I really try to maintain that because I like to

625
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: be an inspiration to so many people. Um So, I

626
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 1: think that's what And when I look good and feel good,

627
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: then I'm even happier. You know. It's it's an up

628
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: and down thing. You you know, even if I lost

629
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: thirty pounds, you know, I might have gained some back

630
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: right now, and now it's just I get back on

631
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: the journey. I mean I never stopped. But then you

632
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: have to you know, work out some more, drink some

633
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: more water. Um So it's a constant, uh struggle because

634
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: it didn't take me this many years to get that size.

635
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: So it's not gonna be an overnight thing. And one

636
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: thing I am a true believer. I tell people Tomorrow

637
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: is gonna come in for lucky, Christmas is gonna come,

638
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day is gonna come. You can make a choice.

639
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: Do I want to be where I am right now?

640
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: And that day is going to come, Valentine's Day's gonna come,

641
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: Christmas gonna come. I can say, you know what, I'm

642
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty pounds where I am now, where I

643
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: could be ten pounds lighter, because it's gonna come anyway.

644
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: You gotta eat slide, but gonna just change it right. Well,

645
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, I have reason I'm very complimentary because, like

646
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: I said, you know, certain people lose weight and they

647
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 1: don't look like they used, they don't look like they

648

793
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: this five thousand dollars. Okay, now, you know because you

794
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: did a show, you know, Worst Cooks, Celebrity Worst Cooks,

795
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: so you know how it works, time laps and all

796
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: that stuff. What was different in this Plus you're dealing

797
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: with people who really television for the first time, you know,

798
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: uh put on the spot, cooking on the Spot. It

799
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: was some things that didn't go like they wanted to do.

800
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: The world saw that. So talk about that whole set

801
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: up there, because you have to be like um mom, host, entertainer,

802
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: but also sympathetic and encourager as well. Correct. Yes, look,

803
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: you hit all of that because it was difficult because

804
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: these are regular everyday people. They're not used to television.

805
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: They have their mama's grandmama's recipe and they say it's

806
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: the best, I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna win this money.

807
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: And if you make a face, so you don't really

808
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: like that ingredients they put in there, they are not

809
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: happy and they don't even know what to how to

810
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: express themselves. It was it was a mess. And then

811
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: you have the judges. You know, they don't want to

812
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: taste the stuff, but they do want it was maybe

813
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: we were having problems. You know. It was a lot

814
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: going on, which actually made it for a good show. Absolutely. Yeah,

815
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: we all like you want that uncertainty, but you know,

816
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: let's let's go and be real about because you host,

817
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: so it's kind of like, you know, if you're the

818
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: circus and the elephants don't come out, that you got

819
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: a problem. You know what I'm saying, what the elephants that?

820
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 1: So you have to make sure the energy stays the same.

821
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: So you're a lot of pressure, Kim to host this show.

822
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 1: It's a lot. There was one. I mean one time

823
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: I just I was like, uh, cut let me I

824
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: got tox of producers. I was like I had to

825
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: go and whisper. I was like, uh, is he gonna

826
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: be all right? Or you know, because people were getting upset.

827
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: It was a lot. Now it's Christmas time, you know,

828
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: this is so what what what kind of what kind

829
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: of recipes or what type of food on trades or

830
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: desserts do we expect on this particular series of episodes

831
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: star Well, we're all that's right. Starting this with the

832

00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: um something, Sorry, I had to do that. I just

834
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: what happened sometimes is I get blurry because I'm so

835
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: beautiful that the world, the world can't take my beauty.

836
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: That would be my camera. I am so sorry. Oh

00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: my gosh, how embarrassing. Oh my god, the world call

838
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: on beauty anymore. I'm so sorry. And I used this

839
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: for me and share his podcast and I'm gonna talk

840
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: about that in a minute, because I wanted to talk

841
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: about my girl Sherry the single Mom podcast. There you

842
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: goes back, there you go cool. That face you made

843
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: brought it back. It didn't bring it back, you know,

844
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: but a lot of people, if we're talking about the recipes,

845
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: they like mac and cheese, greens, you know, the green Beat,

846
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: they I will tell you. I can tell you this

847
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: because we tell like they can make it one of

848
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: their own for one of the rounds. Then we give

849
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: them one to make and they have to make it appetizing. Baby.

850
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: When we telling all these people green being cast roll honey,

851
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: I cats, black people don't make green bean casserole because

852
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: they all turned their face up to us. So I

853
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: know how to make green bean cassero. I made it

854
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: in college green being google Losh, so I can make

855
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: that in the heartbeat. Okay, But what I cannot do, Kim,

856
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 1: is what they do, you know, make it on the spot.

857
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't you know, you gotta I gotta have my recipe.

858
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: I gotta know all that stuff. You know. That's because

859
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: you learned that on the Worst Cook episode got I

860
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: don't know how these people these people were cooking without

861
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: a recipe. Yes, and that's what part it makes it interesting,

862
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: but also could be frustrated because, as you know, too

863
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: much salt changes the recipe, too much, you know, not

864
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: enough water changes the recipe of all your contestants. What

865
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 1: was the most challenging part of the show. We're balancing

866
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: the judge's energy because you gotta keep them engaged and

867
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: then and then also you have to stop them from

868
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: going too far, you know, with with comments and criticism.

869
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 1: Talk about that. Wow, your questions are difficult and interesting,

870
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: you know. It was it was the balance of wanting

871
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: the contestants to still have fun and be competitive and

872
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: don't give up, and for the judges not to be

873
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: too judgmental, and for everyone to have fun. That was

874
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: the thing. It's a competition. It's five thousand dollars, it's

875
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: not you know and all be all. It's some money.

876
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: But to think of it as an opportunity to just

877
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: have a good time and share your recipes. I think

878
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: that was the hardest part. And not hurting anybody's feelings.

879
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: That was It was a difficult. It was a tight role,

880
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: right right. What we're talking to Kim. She just starved

881
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 1: this new television series of food competition show on Network,

882
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: The Big Holiday Food Fight, but one of one of

883
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: the I'm gonna transition a little bit to one of

884
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: my favorite podcasts. She does it with a good friend

885
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: of mine, Shary Shepherd, and it talks about single mom.

886
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: It really started on the Tom Join the show and

887
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 1: it was doing so great. They decided to just take

888
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: it to another level. They just stopped. Tom, you might

889
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: be gone, but they ain't going nowhere. Talk about that

890
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: because we talked about that. When we're gonna different shot

891
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do with y'all? That's our vote,

892
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: which you don't know, it always goes up another level,

893
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: shot down. Talk about your podcast that you don't Sharry Shepherd,

894
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: why is it so popular? Oh my gosh, you know

895
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 1: man Shary Weird Comics were one time joining it together

896
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 1: and Sherry was like, let's do this podcast. And I

897
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: was like, I don't like doing the podcast. We have

898
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: so much other things too. She's like, it would be great.

899
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: So Sherry put it together and I showed up. I

900
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: was like, so I didn't believe her. I was like,

901
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna want to hear us talk and too funny Mamas.

902
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: We started U during the pandemic Oh Mother's Day, and

903
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: it has done very well. People love hearing us talk

904
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: about being single mothers, being in the industry, working our kids.

905
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: What do we do? Uh, it's a lot of funny

906
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: and there's no like we don't since we since it's

907
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: since ourselves a little bit, but not really and we

908
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 1: just had fun. Like Sary did something, I got mad

909
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: at her. So we had a big old argument and

910
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: we want to get and aired it out right on

911
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: the podcast. It's real life. Let's get over it. So
