48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: an interesting era that we have with African American talent

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: on town. I know, you know your trinidaddan. You know,

Speaker 1: let's let's put that out there. Let's put that out

51
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: there correctly. And and so so we're working, We're working.

52
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: We're working not just on reality shows. You know that

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: was a period where reality shows dominated African our presence

54
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: on television. So what do you think is happening out there?

55
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: Just just feel us a little bit of detail about

56
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: about what's going on in your world. And we're gonna

57
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: go to some funny things that you're doing. And I

58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: saw that, I saw that prison logic. Man, we gotta

59
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: talk about that, but we're gonna talk about mine, all right, man.

60
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: And that's the well right off that I want to

61
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: start by saying, thank you, really seriously, thank you. I

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: really appreciate you having me on and my brother following

63
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,040

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: I want to congratulate you on all of your success

65
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: as well. Thank you. Um uh yeah. I remem when

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: we first act, like I think this might have been

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 1: on the on the Steve Harvey Show, and I was like, man,

68
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: I did that brother, man. You were solid dude. Man.

69
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: So anyway to be here talking to you with the

70
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: privilege to answer your question my duty. I think that's

71
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: something I think that part of the major shift is

72
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I believe that like a report came out, um, you know,

73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: maybe like uh four years ago, it would basically show

74
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: that African American dollars responded like African Americans as a

75
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: whole responded, not as a whole, but just the general

76
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: audience of Africa, you know, TV audience African responded to advertising.

77
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: And I think that that kind of set off an

78
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: alarm uh um. And there were shows that were kind

79
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: of pioneering the way for that, shows like Kevin Hart's

80
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: UM Real Husbands, Uh, Hollywood, you know, I can't remember

81
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: some of the other shows. But because I took my

82
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: challenge a little early thing, we're gonna put it out there.

83
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: You know, Anthony Anderson's show, you know that Blackish, you know,

84
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: And I remember I talked like I remember before he

85
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: came out, Anthony's called me and I said, Anthony, that

86
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: title man's crazy, and I brought him on the show.

87
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: I still supported it, brought him on Steve Show, helped

88
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: launching launch of show, had him set in for Steve,

89
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: him and uh, Tracy Ellis Row set in and four

90
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: Hours show to promote because I always know, you gotta

91
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: put the brand out there. That's been the main thing

92
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: about my theme has been, you gotta if people don't

93
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: know you, they can't find you, they can't find you. Yeah,

94
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: you gotta give them a choice and nothing, you know,

95
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: And that's the thing, you know, And look, I know

96
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: people in your audience are screaming right now, don't forget scandal,

97
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: don't forget by all the Davis shows, you know, don't

98
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: get and they're right, you know, but a lot of

99
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: these shows came along and you know, um and a

100
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: lot of it incentivize these networks to begin, you know,

101
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: having more diversity because they saw that actually the black

102
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: audience turned off to support you know, black content. And

103
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: you know also like, uh, you know, I grew up

104
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: in an era where you know, we watched Dynasty and

105
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: The Dukes of Hazards and all these shows. That's what

106
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: there was, you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong,

107
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: I like picents and my favorite was always the Jeffersents

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: and and and and I'm good Times. But the reality

109
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: of it was is that we didn't have there's much representation.

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: Now that there is much representation, people choose it, you

111
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and people like to see something

112
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: of reflective likeness. They late to it more right off

113
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: in the continent of speaking about things that they can

114
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: relate to. And he was on the marketing dollars and

115
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: so you know, when we see an advertisement, we're actually

116
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: influenced by it. And that makes a huge different to

117
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 1: the people that the marketing you know, especially especially now

118
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: that people can go anywhere the launch television, you know,

119
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: and I read this book and it was breaking down

120
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: how like fifty of the people who even shop at

121
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Walmart don't even own like external hardware for their television,

122
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: the meaning they don't have cable, they don't have any

123
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: kind of box. They're still watching the regular network television.

124
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: That plays a role in it as well. But anyway,

125
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just going on. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,

126
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: no no no, Malcole. That's what this show is about.

127
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: That's why it's called money Making Conversation. That's why I

128
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: shot McDonald's hosted, because I can bring talent like you.

129
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about your TV, You're gonna talk about

130
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: all that, but this you know your mindset, because people

131
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: need to understand that there's a three sixty platform for

132
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: a guy like you to be successful as much as

133
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: you are. You you understand the business. You understand why

134
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: you're not working, why are you being chosen for roles,

135
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: and how you consistently can be there. A lot of

136
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: people don't understand it. They really just think that just

137
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: show up and you just just you for a role.

138
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: If you want longevity, you have to understand what you're

139
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: walking into. And you're saying you're saying it, yeah, you

140
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: really do. And you know the thing, Uh, you know

141
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: that that I think that we under I think that

142
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: the thing that we underestimate in the process of doing

143
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: all of this is that I've seen a lot of

144
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: people come before me, and um, I've seen them piss

145
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: off this as many you know, big main people as

146
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: I've supposedly pissed off. And you know, because the fact

147
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: that they didn't want to do a job, you chose

148
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: to honor their integrity before honoring you know, their pockets.

149
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: And you know that's not a language that spoke very

150
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: common in in in uh in the HollyHood. And so

151
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: people with egos really take it personally when you turn

152
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: down their projects. But what I have found is that

153
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: kind of you know, I founded slay to someone preservation

154
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: in the sense that you know, I never thought this.

155
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: I always used to wonder should I get bigger athens?

156
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Should half bigger managers do that? But when it really

157
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: boils down to it your best representation of your body

158
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: of work in this business, that your best representation, it

159
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: will go out and speak on be happy to you

160
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: on every fedinal platform. We don tell you something about

161
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: like a Seriously, when I introduced you at the beginning Weed,

162
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: which is on showtime, Um, that's when I first became

163
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: a fan of yours, you know. And and it's because

164
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: you took a character, you know, and in that world,

165
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, usually it's rough, but you played it like

166
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: it was. It was funny, dangerous. Does that make sense?

167
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: And and and so when you when you can take

168
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: a role and then you can shape it, and I

169
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: think that's what you do. So I feel that's what

170
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: you do so well with all your roles, you know,

171
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: whether you plan a butler, or you playing some swab dude,

172
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: or you playing a player, or you're playing a die

173
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: d or whatever, all these roles, you just shape it.

174
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: How do you come up? How do you make a

175
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: decision on where you're gonna take these characters? When you

176
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: when you auditioning, Um, you know, that's the thing. That's

177
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: like what I'll do. Like I was doing it yesterday.

178
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: I was just saying for my show, I just basically

179
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: take those words and take the scenario. I don't want

180
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: to know who you'd expect me to play. I want

181
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: to read it, just read it like a book. And

182
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: and then a nature I just developed an opinion about

183
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: every person in the movie. And then I said, who

184
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: who am I supposed to be playing? Oh? That dude.

185
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: Oh that dude, he's the so and so, because I

186
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: really have a genuine opinion. I'm not thinking about it

187
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: of like thinking about it from the perspective of how

188
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: should I play this? No, I'm really just these characters,

189
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: the twin people. I try to think about, how can

190
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: I relate this to real life and include not the

191
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: howity system and and to some degree or another, and um,

192
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, for me, if I can't make it personal,

193
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: I can't really I can't really mess with it, you

194
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And and so it starts there,

195
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: and then I begin to like because a lot of

196
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: people will reference another character on TV. You know, I've

197
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: been around a long time, so I can reference in

198
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: my life and be like, oh, I know I know

199
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: who this dude is. This dude is Neto and Needle

200
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: was a dude that I grew up when I lived

201
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: in New York. You know, I'll begin making indelic because

202
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: like the mom but to eat it and I don't

203
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: walk around for weeks. Man, let me tell you something,

204
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: my girl can't stand it. I will walk around for

205
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: weeks and character and your food like that just ain't caring. Yes, yes,

206
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: and I will hate you I would hate you y'all

207
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: really tell you when I do that. And it's funny

208
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: too because I'll do that and you know, you care

209
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: about what other people think. The exercise for me is

210
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: to get to the point of being this character and

211
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: because you know, and then character don't give up. But

212
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: now let's let's let's talk about that. Then this show,

213
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: this the series that you wrote direct and then started

214
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: prison lodging. Now, if you walk around being that character,

215
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna punch you, because you that character is off

216
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: the chain. Dude. I put the teeth in and everything

217
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: I walk around, um, not even sight you can see

218
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: what I watched the video. I cat, what's wrong with

219
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: this front teeth? I was seriously, man, I was like,

220
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you what's wrong with this front teeth?

221
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Because I was just I was so into the character

222
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: and you're so natural when you walked around the dinner

223
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: table and start just bringing everybody down, and I'm just

224
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: looking at your front teeth and so you walk around

225
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: a character with that with those teeth off set. That's

226
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: what you're telling me, Dude. I go in the glocery

227
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: store and not only that, you know what, Let's be

228
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: real people, will stop you on the shoot all the time. Yo,

229
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: can I get a picture? They don't care for you

230
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: with your kids. They don't care to you with your girls,

231
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: don't care what you're doing. So you put the teeth

232
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: in and you pet that little scowl on your face.

233
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: People just go around. They treat you differently, and that's

234
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: what I want to experience for them, because within the character,

235
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: I want to experience how the world what I'm saying.

236
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: And that's why I do that. You know, man, I'll

237
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: be doing some types of stuff, but yes, yes, but

238
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: when you see that movie prison logic, you will understand

239
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: why it's worked. Okay, let's let's she says it real fast,

240
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: but it's important to hear the name of the movie

241
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: prison then logic. Okay, prison logic. That means a guy

242
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: individual who's done some time, was carrying that philosophy in

243
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: everyday world activity. He's out, but he's thinking in that

244
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: same tone and vain. That's why I took Awa. That's

245
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: why I took away from that video. I was like,

246
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: it was so clean where you was talking. Plus I

247
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: had a couple of people who've been in jail, so

248
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: I do that logic. You know, when they get out,

249
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: they're still the smartest people in the world. Basically why

250
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: they were in jail because they were too smart to

251
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: stay out of jail. And so when I hear that

252
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: prison logic being said in this movie, I feel, Okay,

253
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: I know that person. I know that person right there

254
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: because so so so the characters. Why did you decide

255
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: to write, direct and start in a project? Um, well, uh,

256
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: just honestly, honestly, I didn't want to write it. I

257
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: tried to hire a writer. I didn't want to direct it.

258
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: Um I tried to I tried to hire a director.

259
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: Every single person that was involved kept saying, rom this

260
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: is so unique your this is so unique to your

261
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: voice that you know you have to do it. And

262
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: so when we hired the writer, ended up he ended

263
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: up proving him right. When we tried to get directors involved,

264
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: ended up proving him right. It was like, I just

265
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: have you know, it was specific to me. I didn't

266
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: have the confidence, but I'm glad that they made me

267
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: do it, because you know, I ended up being able

268
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: to put a touch on it and bring something to

269
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: it that I don't think that hold hold that thought

288
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: about the prison lodge because we started talking about it,

Speaker 1: help social media wise to get the word out of

293
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: about this movie. Please help me out. But first break

294
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: down that character, because if you go to the website,

295
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: it's like a two minute and twenty nine second video

296
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: that sets the stage of what this character is all about.

297
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: And he's sitting at the dental table with his mom

298
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: and he just his mom talked, my chi can't write

299
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: him because she got out the writers. Then you go,

300
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: you can't call. Uh, that's prison, that's logic. Somebody tell

301
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: you Mama's baby. I would have written, but you know

302
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: I had all the threat as you go, you can't

303
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: call mom, you can't call you can't call you. So

304
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: break down that whole scene and the character so we

305
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: can know where we're going with this prison logic. Okay,

306
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: so let me see it. So the scene that you

307
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: actually saw that actually is equip from the movie, and

308
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: it's just basically, UH, an ex conduct has come home

309
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: from prison, and he's gotten home from prison and he's

310
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, set on becoming motivational speaker, but his probation

311
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: officer is insisting that he UH focused on just getting

312
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: a nine to five and doing the things that his

313
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: prob his reprobation requires, you know, getting nine flies and

314
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: um and you know, to take your analysis test. And

315
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: this basically lived the most you know, subservient life you

316
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: can live to the system. And his mother is very

317
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: much on that page as well. I don't want you

318
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: going back in jail. But he's got this big treat

319
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: that's going to check him away and you know, take

320
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: him out of Fort Landale, Florida and leaving him to Orlando, Florida.

321
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: But he hasn't gotten a permit, you know, a travel

322
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: permit from his probation officer, and his mother believed that

323
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: she needs them around the house. The family believe they

324
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: need to prom and so this is the debate that

325
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: they're having at the moment because he wants to go

326
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: and they want him to stay. That character, believe or not.

327
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: I created that character many many years ago on YouTube,

328
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: and I would do it as a series while I

329
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: was doing the First Think like Man, That's when I started.

330
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: Every Sunday I would do the cities. And the reason

331
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: is because me is romny now go especially back then,

332
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, to to mote to the kids

333
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: that I wanted to reach the people that are considered

334
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: at risk teams and whatnot. I'm just a corny dude, right,

335
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: So I needed to find a way to use humor

336
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: and real street stuff to you know, articulate point that

337
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: we're very very important just for moving forward in life.

338
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: And so I created this character. And character was well received.

339
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: The character that people would uploaded to world Star. They

340
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: would you know, come to YouTube and watched a live

341
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: series and eventually those people started saying, you know, you

342
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: gotta make a movie. And believe it or not, I

343
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: spent at least four or five years in Hollywood people

344
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: promising to help me make this movie. You gotta make

345
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: it so funny names. I could go down the list

346
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: of names and you know, and and and the truth

347
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: is is that it was all taught. And so I

348
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: finally decided, you know what, I'm gonna just do it.

349
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: I was living in Porto Rico. I was like, let

350
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: me just do a crowdfunding campaign and see if the

351
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: people who want me to make this movie people really

352
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: behind it. And I learned a lot of strategies about crowdfunding.

353
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: So if you ever have questions, y'all got to ask me. Please,

354
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: everybody listening you've got questions about this stuff, asked me,

355
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: I'll send you an email or some notes on how

356
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: to actually about it. I had to do that. I

357
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: use let me know if I'm getting too home, and

358
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: this was I only asked the half of what I wanted,

359
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: and by doing that, I was able to make the

360
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: car frond and the campaign look successful. And by making

361
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: it look successful, I was able to attract the investors.

362
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: And I went ahead and made my movie without Hollywood. Now,

363
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. This sounds like a sitcom.

364
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: It sounds like a drama. A motivational X calm speaker

365
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: that that's sounds like a slick sture. Sounds like a

366
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: guy who's been educating in prison. So it's a movie. Now,

367
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: everybody wants content. Netflix won't content, WHOLU wants content. Amazonre content,

368
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: including the networks and cable. Is it just gonna stay

369
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: in that movie. I'm just telling people. I'm just encouraging

370
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: anybody to see this movie. It's that entertaining. I'll just

371
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: let you know. It's that interesting. And its character, man,

372
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: and its character is so so believable, because, like I said,

373
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: everybody to know this guy. Everybody that has met this

374
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: guy and everybody as a successful level and as a failure,

375
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: he might have been a homeless guy on the street

376
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: might have been this guy. And that's that's part of

377
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: it too. Is that me growing up? Whenever I was

378
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: watching the show, even if I was watching The flint Stones, right,

379
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: I really I always vide more with Bonnie Rubble. If

380
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: I was watching, I always find more with Ed Norton,

381
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It didn't that I always

382
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: vibe more with sidekick. I always had like like and

383
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: and that that uncle do you hear everybody talk about

384
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: but you don't ever see that uncle be to leave

385
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: in the movie. I wanted that dude to be the lead.

386
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, because I vibele with those people,

387
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: with those obscure off the people who aren't necessarily, you know,

388
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: considered lead material. And so um, I want to say

389
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: something to you about this particular thing. I'm gonna tell you.

390
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: When you make an independent film, there's usually very little

391
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: chance of making any money on independent film, there's us

392
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: a very little chance of being seen in the light

393
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: of day. And you know you have I'm not gonna

394
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: say any names, but you have all these major outlets

395
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: now that are unconventional outlets, you know, live streaming and whatnot.

396
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: And what they'll do is they'll buy it for next

397
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: to enough and they a lot of times don't even

398
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: compensate before what you spent on the movie. But the

399
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: tradeoff is people get to see a movie. This movie

400
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: is has Masina Hall in it, it has Tammy Roman

401
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: in it. It's got a kid named Tyler Cassidy who

402
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: was Froggy Fresh. He pranked the world for a good

403
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: four years um as the Rapper or Krispykreeman Arky Fresh

404
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Um and I've got myself in it, um

405
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: uh BLOGI Lynn Oldham. And And the point that I'm making,

406
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: the point that I'm trying to make is that I really,

407
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: um had no clue that this movie was ever going

408
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: to be anything other than the status quo in regards

409
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: to how it would get distributed. But right now we

410
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: are doing business with some of the biggest producers in

411
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: Hollywood because they got a glimp of this movie. They

412
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: saw this movie, you got the Clampone was like, wait

413
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: a minute, I didn't see that. I sent it to

414
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: him and looked at it and they were like, all right,

415
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: we and here's how we want to go, how we

416
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: want to move forward. And I went from this little

417
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: independent movie with a little crowd funding budget and I

418
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: made it for like four ran to where this movie

419
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: is gonna have a wide release next year. And I

420
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: can't even next year though, two thousand nineteen, and I

421
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: can't even bel to tell you how much that alone

422
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: is empowered and change in my life. Dude, it has

423
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: changed everything my outlook. It's like, once you know you

424
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: can hunt your own food, the game change. Now. Okay,

425
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: now you know what that means now, romany Okay, Sean mcdown,

426
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: it's promoting you right now before. So I got to

427
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: be there for the twinter nineteen as well as to

428
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: come back on this show promoted. Because this is a movie.

429
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm just letting everybody know that it's outstanding. Um the cash,

430
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: everybody don't know what Regina Hall, one of the most

431
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: incredible comedic actresses in the game today, downs has down

432
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: has down this brilliant, brilliant. The fact that you're doing this,

433
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: And but I wanted a lot of independent people to

434
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: hear this, to let them know that, yeah, there's no

435
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: walk of shame and getting your movie done there's no

436
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: walk of shame, and how you get it distributed. The

437
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: thing is that it's your dream. But make sure you

438
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: you know the tire thing up, you know, make sure

439
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: that you have the releases signed off. Don't just have

440
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: people talk about I show up. And then also you

441
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to get your soul. You run around

442
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: trying to find releases to sign off on. Be professional

443
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: from day one, from up start, and that's really important.

444
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: And that's what you did with this movie. But before

445
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: we go, I wanted to bring up something about this.

446
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: This is a social network that you have called life

447
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: Management Tribe. Oh you know stuff? Whoa okay, all right, okay,

448
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: So look man, when it really boils down to it,

449
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time I used to spend.

450
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: I used to be a White House consultant, Like literally

451
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: the White House have becoming. They flynt me in and

452
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: ask me, oh, you know, how how can we get

453
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: better engagement? That kind of thing, and I would go

454
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: through strategies with them. But you know, I've sent a

455
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: lot of time on social social media. And when I

456
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: really stopped and ask myself what was going on? Like,

457
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't want to gain nothing that I

458
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: didn't add any value, you know what I mean. And

459
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: so I was like, I would love to be a

460
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: part of a social networks that actually added value, that

461
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: I could look to that maybe it's inspired me, maybe

462
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: gave me insight on how to have better health, just

463
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: keep me in the community of positive people. And you know,

464
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: with everything going on in politics right now, people just

465
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: feel like they can just be as disrespectful and as

466
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: emotionally emotionally inconsiderate as they want to be on social networks.

467
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: You know, you could build up a huge audience and

468
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: track a huge audience to Facebook platform, and then out

469
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: of nowhere they change an algorithm and you no longer

470
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: have access to that audience. You got to pay them

471
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: for the ardience you attracted today platform. That just all

472
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: sounds backwards to me, and I've never been to do

473
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: that's been comfortable with the status quo. So I was like, look,

474
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: let me just create my own network and I'm just

475
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: going to do an experiment. It's just an experiment, and

476
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: I want to see if I invest as much time

477
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: as I did in other platforms in my own platform,

478
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: what what the results be. So that's what I've been

479
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: doing in life Management Trial dot com. It's just basically

480
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: that it's just a positive platform to people, you know.

481
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: And I also I launch a podcast through which so

482
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: I talked about things that are important to me. So

483
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: right now I'm going over Anthony Williams book A Medical Medium,

484
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: which has some really interesting philosophies, but ultimately man just

485
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: a place that adds value. You go through it and

486
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: you feel like you've got some information, you've got some encouragement,

487
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: people hold you accountable. We have challenges on this getting

488
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 1: its challenges. We just did a claim to Clarella Claims

489
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: Challenge where we did Clarella for four days, nothing else,

490
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: like a detox. It's like, you know what, it's real

491
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: stuff and and you know, for me, that's just that's

492
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: that's the life I live and that's what I want

493
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: to be involved in. As a result of that, I

494
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: don't really engage as much on the more you know,

495
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: popular platforms because I'm usually involved in my own platform.

496
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: But but the reward is much great at my brother

497
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: and you know, and I've learned it ain't about reaching

498
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: It ain't about reaching four hundred million people. It's about

499
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: reaching the people who want to reach you. And also

500
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: it's like adding value to the people who add value

501
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: to you than thank you, Thank you. We're gonna talk soon,

502

506

Speaker 1: one beef to pick with you, and then I'm done.
