00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 3: actually works and because we don't because you know, a

159
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: lot of lots of some of these shows are insensitive,

160
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: and I don't think I don't think this is definitely

161
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 3: not one of those shows. Because It's about really hoping

162
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: that the people come on the show really become a

163
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: couple really fine, right, love, that's really the number one goal.

164
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: And we know, and we know as African Americans anybody

165
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: as you get older, the options to find that mate.

166
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: Oh yes, unless okay, how does Ready to Love work?

167
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: What is the formatt and how do you.

168
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 4: Let me show you? Right here?

169
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 5: Take your time here, ready, here's Already to Love works.

170
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 5: You when you started off, you said eighteen singles. So

171
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: let me let's go back a little bit. When we

172
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 5: first started this. We started out with twenty singles, ten men,

173
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 5: ten women, all right, and this is what this is

174
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 5: is it's a process of elimination. One week, the women

175
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 5: eliminate the men, the next week, men eliminating women, and

176
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 5: it dwindles down till by the end of ten eleven weeks,

177
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 5: we are now down to six people, three couples who

178
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 5: have hopefully found love. That's it. So there is no

179
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 5: that's the prize. The prize is loved. There's no million dollars,

180
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 5: no trip around the world. The prize is love that

181
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 5: you found it for three couples. Now you read just

182
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 5: a second ago, you said eighteen singles, so what we're

183
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 5: doing Roushan is we're throwing curveballs.

184
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 4: Now.

185
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 5: We started with nine men, nine men and nine women,

186
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 5: eighteen eighteen people. So two weeks later, I throw a

187
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 5: curveball in and bring in a lady and bring in

188
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 5: a guy. So now we really are at the twenty.

189
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 5: I'm just not giving it to you all at one time.

190
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 5: Oh oh okay, okay, okay, Gods, so.

191
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: You gotta switch it up a little bit.

192
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 5: So because people have been watching the show, you know,

193
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 5: so when you get new casts, remember they like, oh,

Speaker 3: Now, I'm not trying to give away the show, but

390
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: And we used to have Thomas go to go to

391
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: He would always come in the studio. We tell her, hey, man,

392
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 3: go over to the L A. F. The street was

393
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,040

00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: Because he had to always act like he did. He

396
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: forgot to come to work. That was his character. He

397
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: forgot to come to work. Oh oh I'm sick, he

398
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: would always.

399
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,600

00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 5: what I was in the street before you brought me

403
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:58,960

00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 5: we said, now we me Robert or Jordan's spark. We man,

469
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 5: we are in tears, we crying. And when we came

470
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 5: out of that room, I asked one of the soldiers,

471
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 5: I say, hey, man, what happens to these soldiers when

472
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 5: they get back home? I said, what do we take

473
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 5: care of these guys? They say, yeah, it's a it's

474
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 5: a system you gotta go through, you know. But I say,

475
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 5: but what about the right now?

476
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 6: Right?

00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 4: And he said, well, you know, that's always the struggle.

478
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 5: So man, when I came back home, I said, now

479
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 5: I've found something that I'm passionate about.

480
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,240

484
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 5: does to a soldier immediately or what they're going through.
