Speaker 1: a and it's important. But let's go back to the

73
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: star power of you, young lady. You got two TV

74
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: show to TV show. Well, God has blessed me to

75
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: keep working. Now here's the deal. Here's the deal, and

76
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: you do keep working. Now people are if they are

77
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: not watching Daytime Divas, which is uh, it's from the

78
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: It's from Star Jones who used to be from the

79
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: View and she wrote a book called Satan's Sisters, and

80
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: I know Star Jones can Star Jones with the college

81
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: with me at the University of Houston and then and

82
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: then is executive to produced by Susanne the Past, who

83
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: gave me one of my first writing jobs on Sister

84
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: Sister sitcom. Okay, so so so no, we're all in

85
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: this thing now. Now, your character is a comedian and

86
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: basically I'm just let everybody know if you've seen the

87
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: talk if you've seen the view is that's that's set up,

88
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: but the story is off stay each that's the story exactly.

89
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: It's what happens in the women's lives outside of the

90
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: talk show. But you know, the one thing about those

91
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: group of women is that they all will have each

92
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: other's back, so they mess with each other. They don't

93
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: want anybody else mess with you, so you know, they

94
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: take care of each other. But yeah, you know, it's

95
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's definitely based off of the Jones book

96
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Satan's Sisters. Now that the cool thing about is that

97
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: your character went on a little journey because your character

98
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: and if I'm saying that they roll you could correct me.

99
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Your character was all about you in the beginning. Okay,

100
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: it was all about you. You know, it's all about

101
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get that that left chair, you know,

102
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: left chair, and all about what it's gonna be about

103
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: you after. You know. I watched the show, and I'm

104
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: a fame because of the fact that it's a well

105
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: written show. And I love the fact that anytime I

106
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: see a show with strong African American characters, and that

107
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: show has it. And also I like Shaun's character to

108
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: executive to do some on the show. That's a strong,

109
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: diverse character emotionally for me. And then Vanessa week come on,

110
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: you got Vanessa Williams. I mean, it's a great cast

111
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: of people and we really enjoyed I'm doing, you know,

112
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: playing those roles, you know, because this is a brand

113
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: new show, um and it was starts vision and I'm

114
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: happy that you know that her vision is literally playing

115
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: out right, you know. And the and the cool thing

116
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: about the show is that they have celebrities on the show.

117
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, like when you ran into uh

118
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: Tamary Maori at the at the at the at the

119
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: at the clothing store, y'all was fighting over that shirt

120
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: and so and so she told you got no job

121
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: on the rail and got no job on the rail.

122
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: Now you know, you better get your butt back on

123
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: that show. And so my whole thing is that when

124
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: you get these roles, you know, because you're you're a

125
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: talented singer, you know, and then and then you're you're funny,

126
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: you're attractive, and then you and then you then you're

127
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: dramatic and all these things. And so so if you

128
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: watch the series, you know, you start out and guess what,

129
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: and you're a woman's woman, you know you you know you,

130
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: you you learn about know, you still got it going on,

131
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: you still find And I think that's guess And I

132
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: think that's important because sexy don't die. Well, I wouldn't

133
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: say sexy. You know, I always chose comedy. Comedy came

134
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: natural to me, and I really love doing drama. But

135
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta get ugly for comedy, right, But

136
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: I love about it. You know, there ain't no time

137
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: to be playing no cute game, right right, right, And

138
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: and that's what happens in this series and so and

139
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: so in the last series, in the last episode I

140
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: just saw was the episode where this is what I

141
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: was talking about, the journey of your character. And I'm

142
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about the show because I'm not trying

143
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: to reveal you know, key plot points in the show,

144
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: because I feel everybody should watch the watch started tonight.

145
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: If you have not seen the series from the beginning,

146
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: you can being watch it. Just go on demand and

147
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: Ben watched. The show is well worth it. You will laugh,

148
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: you will you. The characters are very relatable. Vanessa Williams

149
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: Diva role is fantastic. It has selations. She's just an

150
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: awesome person. I love the word selations. Plot lines. I'm

151
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: talking about these characters. They go be y'all, just normal behavior.

152
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: But I love the fact that in the end when

153
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: you came back and defended kiddy character, you know, you

154
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: saved her character. And that's what I was saying, is

155
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: that your character is more than in the beginning. You know,

156
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: use about you? And if Vanessa we stopped you in

157
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: the hallway, she said, really you about somebody other than you?

158
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: Tell me about that journey. And when you take these roles,

159
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: are you looking to develop your characters? Let's just be

160
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: funny and do what you tell you. No, no, no, never,

161
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: just be funny and do what they tell you. That

162
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: is never the key to success, nor are being happy

163
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: at what you do. Um, I have to like, I

164
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: was asked to do this, to to this role, you know,

165
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: and play the part of more, which is always a

166
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: pleasure because when you're asked to something, that means they

167
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: trust your opinion and what choices you will make. And

168
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: with Mo, I just it's just the Caacus screamed out

169
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: of me. I just laughed and laughed, and I saw

170
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: that she had a lot of hearts. But I kind

171
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: of loved the fact that I was you know, that

172
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: I would be hated a little bit by a lot

173
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: of people, which was cool too, But it's somewhere there's

174
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: a reason for it. You know, there's always a deeper

175
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: there's a deeper layer to every character. And the layers

176
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: that uh that that Mo has really uh intrigued me,

177
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: which was one of the reasons why I really really

178
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: wanted to play the role. Um. And that's what I'm like.

179
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean, everything is in the writing, you know, and

180
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: black women we need to be we were so many things,

181
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: so we should be represented correctly. And uh that's always

182
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: a fight, you know, it's always you know, you gotta

183
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: keep that integrity. But that's me as a mom, me

184
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: as a as an actress me as a survivor being

185
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: a show business so long. You know, people call me

186
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: a legend, but you know, I'm a survivor. I've been

187
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: able to be in the industry over thirties six years.

188
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of people come and go. But

189
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: I wake up every day loving what I do. God's

190
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: bless me to to do what I love doing, and

191
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: I respected, so I put it in high regard. So

192
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat it that way. Well, that's the show

193
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about right now, because we're gonna talk about

194
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: other show, Survivor's Remorse, which premiers this Sunday, August twenty

195
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: throw stars we're talking about here currently is her other

196
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: show that's on VH one. You can watch you tonight.

197
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: It's called Daytime Divas. And one of the things that

198
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: I like about the characters there are strong female characters.

199
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: There are diversed. But one of the things that you

200
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: said something in your speech is the fact that you're

201
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: are a mother. You're a single mother, you know, and

202
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: that that so what you do on screen plays an

203
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: important role to what your daughter sees. Is that correct?

204
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: Most definitely, I had a you know, when my daughter

205
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: was younger, I had a rule. You know, if she

206
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: can't watch it, I don't take the role. And now

207
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: she's older, you know she could stomach more a little more.

208
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: You know what, even if she was young, I still

209
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: would have taken the role of Mole because um, it's

210
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: just the way they are. They're developing the character. And

211
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: I always said, you know, I have to take full

212
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: responsibility for my position in life, and that is I

213
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: am a mother first, so I have to represent myself

214
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: correctly as best as I can. Now, you know, I

215
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: also have a lot of young people out there that

216
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: look up to me and that are looking up to me,

217
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: like my fellow you know, actors that look to me.

218
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: You know, Hey, you survived as long her. How can

219
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: you help us? So? How can you? So? I'm the

220
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: best way I can't help anybody else is helping myself,

221
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: and that's making the right charge. Try to make the

222
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: right cho and you make the right charge over and

223
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: over gain I try, I try. I tried so hard.

224
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm something. You know, when I've asked you to come

225
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: to the Neighborhood Awards or the Hoodie Awards, You've come there,

226
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: you know, and that's that's giving your time because you

227
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: knew that made people or your fans feel good. Did

228
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: you care about them? Did you have time for them?

229
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: Where will we be without the fans? And as long

230
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: as they enjoy it, they keep us working, So why

231
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: would we not? Now I was reading something about this.

232
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: You have something that you do with your daughter on

233
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: Instagram is called morning school playlist. Yeah, school Morning playlist,

234
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: that's what I caught. Yeah. I started that because my daughter,

235
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: she is just so challenged, she really is. She has

236
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: a lot of gifts. God gave her the gift of

237
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: a gift song, and now she wants to do some

238
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: more acting. So I said, okay. But I was a

239
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: single mother, so starting out it was just like, oh

240
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: my god, we're fighting in the mornings trying to get

241
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: dressed the school. And I said, somebody has got to

242
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: feel my pain right now. How do I turn this around?

243
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: How do I make this a pleas it experience for

244
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: both she and I? And I said, you know what,

245
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: we let's turn on some music. And I started turning

246
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: on music and she just learned all the songs. She

247
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: listened to music all the time. So I said, you

248
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: know what, let me start recording it and sharing it.

249
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: With people, and the top of that, I mean, it

250
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: just got such a great response from people. People, Can

Speaker 1: love watching your daughter and you in the morning. So

253
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't mind what people, I don't mind sharing our

254
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: faults or our our personal lives. This is gonna help

255
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: somebody else. And I saw that me and Eliza, what

256
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: we were going through in the morning time, helping other

257
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: mothers get their kids ready. And then just even if

258
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: you know that somebody else is going through it and

259
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: you're not the only one, it helps. So I was

260
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: just kind of developed from there, and Elijah enjoyed doing it.

261
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,839

291
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,720

292
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: show is from an African American standpoint, is one of

293
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: the best shows I've seen in my life. I gotta

294
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: say this because it's a drama d and I say

295
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: that because very few shows have the ability because we

296
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: want to know where the classic drama is. Mash Mash

297
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: is one of the all time great classic drama d

298
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: series in television history. Well, one minute you're crying, one

299
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: minute you're taking on the emotional journey, and then the

300
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: next minute you're laughing and you're finding every character relatable.

301
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: And that's what the key of this show is all about.

302
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: And you play a single mom on this show to

303
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: m Chuck and to Cam and Camras the basketball superstar.

304
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: Who's who think that this family would migrated down from Boston,

305
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,160

00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go in detail because you need to,

315
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: as they say, started being watching watching the series this

316
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,479

319
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: gonna give you a little backstory. Um Chen is played

320
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: by Robert wool great actor. He came on, we had

321
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: a scene together, and the scene that we had together

322
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: just was so he just did so well. And I

323
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: would say, you know what, I really want to delve

324
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: a little. I want my character to um double a

325
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: little deeper into this relationship because for so long I

326
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: have not seen on television black women adorned truly loved.

327
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: And I said, you know what, I want him to,

328
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, truly love her and show his love for her.

329
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: And what better way didn't have a billionaire love you

330
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: right right right right? So um you know, and and

331
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: that's every woman's fantasy to be loved like that. So

332
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: I said, let's us do it, and and Michael Mallley.

333
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: The good thing about him is that he's not the

334
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: executive producer. But every season, you know, we as actors,

335
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: we individually sit there and we go in the writer's

336
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: room getting of each season, and we talk about what

337
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: we see, our characters, talk about our storyline. So your

338
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: survivor's remorris is, you know a lot of our input

339
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: as well, because you know we we you know, when

340
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: you play a character, but for so long, you know,

341
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: it becomes a part of you. And of course you

342
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: wanted to see a grow, You want to see you different,

343
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: you want to experience different things. So that was one

344
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: of my things with Cassie. But this season, the amazing

345
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Isaiah Washington, who is coming on and he just comes

346
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: on and just now he's Cam's father. Correct, Yes, he's

347
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: Cam's father, Okay, and now and that that's how this

348
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: last season end when you want to visit him in jail. Correct, Okay,

349
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: So not gonna reveal too much, Yeah, you don't want

350
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: to so many different this year. You're gonna see so

351
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: many different plots and storyline. You'll still see us as

352
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: a family cohesive, but you know we are. Yeah, Well,

353
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: the key that the thing I liked about I like

354
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: about the series. It's first of all, when I was

355
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: talking to Ron Rico, is the anger because it's a family.

356
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: You know, you got money now didn't have money kind

357
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: of little hoodish, little hoodish, you know, the hood kind

358
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: of but you but you, but you respect you respect

359
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: your son. Now you have two children. Uh, let's break

360
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: down to the listener and to the view about your child.

361
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: IM Chuck which is short for Mary Charles. And then

362
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: Cam who's the basketball superstar who was signed to play

363
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: basketball at the the A lot of Hawks. Now they

364
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: both as we we established that um I was raped,

365
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: gang raped by um one of them chucked. Well she

366
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: you know, she went down that path of finding her

367
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: father M Chucked and then UM Cam's father obviously now

368
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: is Isaiah Washington. So UM I have two children that

369
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: are obviously completely different, but um who love each other

370
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: and who um who are basically on my life, you know,

371
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: as with any other any mother, you know, we make

372
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: our children our lives. And you know, I think Cassie

373
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: does puts Cam in a position because he is the moneymaker.

374
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: He is, you know, but she he's still her son.

375
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: And I don't think she ever loses sight of that.

376
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: Uh So she's always going to give him her honest opinion.

377
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: She's never going to uh steer him wrong. Now her

378
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: opinion kiss married. It could be a little different sometimes,

379
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: but it's because she's been through it. It's because she's

380
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: she's overcome a lot different obstacles. So you know, she

381
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: she has the right as the matriarch of the show

382
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: as well to um to to let's just say, speak

383
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: her mind and she has no Cassie has no problem

384
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: doing it. Now, let me as it is because whatever

385
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: you do, because just the drama side of the series,

386
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: and when you start getting involved with deaf scenes and

387
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: and still have to be funny and you know, because

388
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: one scene has written said and the other scenes you

389
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: have to deliver a funny line to break the ice.

390
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: As an actress, how do you build on that? How

391
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: did you create that moment um? You go with the moment,

392
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: you believe the moment. You know, um, all of us

393
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: as actors on the show, we all insert a little

394
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: bit of ourselves. I know that I do try to

395
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: with every role that I take so that I will

396
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: be believable. But you insert a little bit of yourself

397
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: and you try to identify with what's going on in

398
00:21:52,840 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: the actual scene. And we have great writers. You better

399
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: believe you've got great writers. Girl. When you have good writers,

400
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: that is always a great combination. So because of our

401
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: writers and because of you know, our executive producers, and

402
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: because there's such a great vision for the show, we

403
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: try to play that vision out as best as possible.

404
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: It makes it a little easier. And you know, like

405
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: I said, it comes you know, a lot of it

406
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: is our own input day and you know, you know,

407
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: being a sitcom writer and knowing what you have to do,

408
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: and that's why I just love First of all, you

409
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: gotta have talent. And when you looked at cast, such

410
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: a talented, talented cast. When the show came out, the

411
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: big fanfare was it was Lebron James executive produced. That's

412
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: what that was the hype on that. And I'm just

413
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: telling everybody who's listening or who's watching on my Facebook

414
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: page and who will here play back on my Heart

415
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: Radio podcast that this is a show that is incredibly funny,

416
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: a cast that is very relatable, and the diversity on

417
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: this show is amazing easy. And the thing I like

418
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: about the show is that when I go to m Chuck,

419
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: I see an avery young lady, but a beautiful young lady,

420
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 1: and she's trying to find herself. She's in a lesbian world.

421
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: You know, she has a major voice, but she's she

422
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: doesn't even know who she is. And the season end

423
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: with her trying to find her father. That's how the season.

424
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: That's that's the season for storyline. Correct. Yes, so that's

425
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: one of them. We got a lot of story but yes,

426
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: that's one of them. And then and then you have

427
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: and then the other storyline, just sending the talk for storylines,

428
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: not cam. I'm assuming any one of his story lives

429
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be his relationship with his father. Correct, two

430
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: kids pursuing their past with their father. Okay, cool. Then

431
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: if if if he's going to pursue his relationship with

432
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: his father, then once his father is there, Washington comes

433
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: in the world. That means there's gonna be some connectivity

434
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: with you correct, yes, correct, without me telling the storyline,

435
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: which means there's going to be a problem with the billionaire.

436
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: You know what, it may it may not good. Look,

437
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna get it out of me. And then

438
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: you got Reggie and Missy who plays his wife on

439
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: the show, and Reggie is the cousins who's also the

440
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: manager because Missy is so busy trying to make sure

441
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: he has a career outside of Camp, and Kim's fighting

442
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: with that because guess what the reason he's hit is

443
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: because of Camp. Yep. Yeah, so you're gonna see that

444
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: relationship dynamic. It's some great tell you something. I'm gonna

Speaker 1: want to talk about the foundation before, because we hit

457
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,840

480
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: the seventh one she was diagnosed with with lupus. She

481
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: asked me to talk about I said, you know, once

482
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: I opened my big mouth and there's gonna be no stopping.

483
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: We started talking about it. And um, you know, we

484
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: once we once we start talking about it, we found

485
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: that so many people were suffering from that. Even if

486
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: you weren't suffer room from it, somebody knew somebody else

487
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: from its from and it really affected It's affecting our

488
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: black and Latino women the worst, and in even men.

489
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,959
Speaker 1: And we uh so what we've been doing is just

490
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: talking about it and just teaching everybody to listen to

491
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: your body, to be afraid to go to the doctor

492
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: and see. My sister in lie dormant for a long time.

493
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: So by the time it was her seventh disease that

494
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: she was diagnosed with, she told the doctor, well, just

495
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: give me a pill and let me keep it movment.

496
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: And he's like, no, it's incurable. So that's when we

497
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, we gotta really figured this out. But

498
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: once we started talking about it and we we our

499
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: our model is the reason why we say we win.

500
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: That's when my my sister says all the time, because

501
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: you can, despite your obstacles, despite your illness, get through it.

502
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: So we want to take and take care of people

503
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: and help them. Now, you know, we were looking for cure,

504
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: but just any sort of relief. If somebody pays your

505
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: telephone bill, that's one listing, you know. So we're just

Speaker 1: that there has to be a level of consistency and trust.

609
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: And when people come to you, do they come to

610
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: you with any level of expectations? Um, they come, I

611
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: think at this particular point they could. I don't know

612
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: if they come with thinking that the necessarily going to

613
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: get a hit per se. They come to get quality,

614
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: real song, um and so and and and hoping that

615
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: that ultimately turns into something. But I think so the

616
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: days of where people kind of just at least coming

617
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: to me, they don't. They're coming not coming to me

618
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: thinking they're gonna get this huge hit song. We come

619
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: in search of a song. Said because you were recently

620
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, right then, June, Now,

621
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: now when you was inducted to that that that's like

622
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: that that's that's that's that's like the well he was

623
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: on the thirteen using you had a star on the

624
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: Hollywood Walk of Fame and now you're into the Songwriters

625
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. So there those are those equal? Or

626
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: what means more to you? Songwriters means more than the

627
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: Hollywood star, no question? And why is that? Because that's

628
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: what I am of a songwriter. I don't necessarily consider

629
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: myself a star. I consider myself a songwriter. But you,

630
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: but you also a performer, and that that's key too.

631
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: So so when you're making that well, I guess what.

632
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: I met you when you was performer way back in

633
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: the day. But now you then you went to become

634
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: a writing you know, and all that, So what what what?

635
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: What keeps that balance going? Because you're a special guy.

636
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: And I say that, and I hope I'm not embarrassing

637
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: you when I say that, because of the fact that

638
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: you do incredible things with music. You affect how people

639
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: live their lives. Your songs come on the radio and

640
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: they change, they can change how I feel in a

641
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: given day. That's that's amazing to have that quality, don't

642
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: you think, No question. I mean, that's that's how music

643
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: has always affected me. And that's why I love being

644
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: a part of it. You know, I love writing it.

645
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: So it's it is certainly something that that you feel

646
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 1: proud of and and because of because of writing music

647
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: and what I've done, it's it's put me in situations,

648
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, with with amazing people and people that I

649
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: grew up you know, uh, listening to and as a

650
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: fan of people that I looked up to. You know,

651
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,239

Speaker 1: hang out with you know, the likes of Stevie Wonder

653
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: or I can call Stevie a friend. And and that's

654
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: that's all because you know, it's really because I listened

655
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: to him and I learned how to write music. You know,

656
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 1: I learned what was important, the importance of what you're doing.

657

Speaker 1: is what it's gonna play back as well. Is that

677
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: what I'm just trying to say is that I don't

678
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: want to say, because you're so talented, how do you

679
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: break it down to somebody trying to get in the

680
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: field that you have mastered? Kenny? I think ultimately what

681
00:37:54,960 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: gets you there our songs, Yes, sir, It like you know,

682
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: when you write a good song, and when you write

683
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: a great song and it's a great melody and uh

684
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: and and the track feels good and everything feels good

685
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: about it, people find it. So in all reality, you know,

686
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: your your credit card is your songwriting. You know, that's

687
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: what gets you in the door. It's not I was writing.

688
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: I've been writing songs on my life and so and

689
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: initially when I was writing songs, I wasn't writing the

690
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: right ones. I wasn't I wasn't getting the attention because

691
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: I needed to. I needed to fix some things I needed.

692
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't catchy enough. It wasn't it wasn't touching people,

693
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: and so I kept having to go back to the

694
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, drawing board and start over again. And that's

695
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: and to this day, that's what I do. I'll write

696
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: songs and write work on them forever till I can

697
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: get them right. So it's, you know, whenever anybody's ever

698
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, trying to figure that out. Ultimately it comes

699
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: down to are you writing a great song? Are you

700
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: making something that everybody wants to listen to and everybody

701
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: wants to sing along with our group with whatever, for

702
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: whatever it is, And that's that's the key, and that

703
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: the key is that you're also now working on a

704
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: new album, correct, Yes, I am okay? What drives this

705
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: next album? What emotion of, what thought of does anything

706
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: trigger you to say, I gotta do this album because

707
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: I have something I want to say. Well, you know,

708
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: I'm out on the road a lot, and and I

709
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: feel like new music is great when you can have

710
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: the right kind of new music. You can't just cut

711
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: music just the sake of I got a new album.

712
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: You gotta do something that you that you feel like

713
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna that that people are looking for and they

714
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: want to feel and then they want to have and

715
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: they help them have a good time or you know. So,

716
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: I think being out on the road helps you figure

717
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: kind of that out with your audience wants from you

718
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: and and and so that helps it to that extent

719
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: you could you could easily not try to do any

720
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: new music. And and a lot of times people aren't

721
00:39:54,600 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: necessarily ready to hear new music from their their favorite artists. Um, yeah,

722
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: because you pay the ticket based on what you heard,

723
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: correct exactly, So so you know. So it's it is

724
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: as much a thing today of trying to write that

725
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: right song that makes the difference that they're open with

726
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: it radio and and create create new new space. Now,

727
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: I have to be honest with you, it's a lot

728
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: easier to do that on a new artist that hasn't

729
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: had that shot yet, where people are more willing to

730
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: listen to because they they haven't heard got anything from them.

731
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: So so hence I still write and do things for

732
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 1: other artists to this day and and and always will.

733
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: And that's called multiple strains of income. Correct, Yes, as

734
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: long as you're doing it with every with everybody else.

735
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: The whole thing is I always said I don't want

736
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: to have all my eggs in one basket. That's what

737
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: I've talking about. Hey, Kenny, I gotta go to break.

738

Speaker 1: Can you hang on because I want to ask you

739
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,600

Speaker 1: Do you do you get what some people say? Do

760
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: you ever have a block? You said, man, But I

761
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: think what you told me was that you listen to

762
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: people and that helps you be creative? Is that is? That?

763
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: Is that the key? That's the care You just you

764
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: just listen to everyone, watch everyone, listen to everything, and

765
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: that's where you get That's where you get the ideas.

766
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: And that's that's like when they say, you know when

767
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: a good a great actor is when they listen to

768
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: the other person and you react naturally, not to the

769
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 1: line of what that person does and that creates creates

770
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: a great scene. Now when you when you put together music,

771
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: when I when I saw you, when I when I've

772
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: seen you on stage three times, and I've been fortunate

773
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: enough to book you one time, so I've come as

774
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: a customer twice to see you. And the beauty of

775
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 1: that is that I get to see an artist who's

776
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: having a good time. Man, and explained that experience of

777
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: being on stage. Because when you look like you having

778
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: a great time on stage, man, talk to me about that.

779
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't help but have a good time.

780
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 1: When when when everybody else is having a good time,

781
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: you know that's ah, I mean that that's a big,

782
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: big part of it is Um, if you wouldn't be

783
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: having a good time, if the audience looks like they're

784
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: having a good time, then you're don't want to get

785
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 1: off as soon as you can. But but I think

786
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: when we go through through the songs, and you know,

787
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: something else happens when you hit the stage, You've become

788
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: something else from someone else, and uh, and it's and

789
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: the music takes over and and and the the stories,

790
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: the songs, the it's it's um, it takes you back

791
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: to a time and I watched it take people back

792
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: to their too special times in their lives where they're

793
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: in love or I don't love, or whether it was

794
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: hurt or not hurt um and all those things kind

795
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: of make a difference. And so you know, at that

796
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: particular point you're connecting me. It's the music that is

797
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: we have that strong did the world we live in now,

798
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: today's social media world will live now in now? Today?

799
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: Has that changed how you approach your music? Only it

800
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: changes it in the sense of you're maybe a little

801
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: more aware of how people talk and how people say things.

802
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: People say things differently, so so as you're writing not

803
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: so much for myself, but as I'm writing for someone

804
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: that might be younger than might because I'm gonna people.

805
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: People ultimately only go for songs that they feel that

806
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: they think are honest. Though you can't give one song

807
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: to another person that that that it doesn't seem like

808
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: their personality. It just because it doesn't feel real and

809
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: that and that's important to you. Correct, Yeah, well, because

810
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: it's it's important because if it's because you know, if

811
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: people don't feel like it's real and they're not gonna

812
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: they're not gonna like it. Let me ask you just

813
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: cause it's just me talking. Okay, Kenny, is that when

814
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: I see when I when I watched when I went

815
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 1: to your show, it was like watching the collection of

816
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: okay with you, the greatest hits, okay, your your greatest

817
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: hits and other hits that you produced and written over

818
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: the years. Okay, I see on Broadway, I see Motown,

819
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: I see Mama Mia. Is there any talk or even

820
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: across your mind of taking your collection of amazing songs?

821
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: And because they touched so many emotions and they all

822
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: tell stories to Broadway, There's been a number of people

823
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: that are kind of come to me here and there,

824
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: and I just haven't acted on it yet because I

825
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: haven't some the right the hit or the right idea

826
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: for um and uh. And that's a lot of a

827
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: lot of time that you have to put into that

828
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: to make that right. So and if I'm going to

829
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: do it, I want to it's gonna be right. And

830
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: it means that you have to have time to put

831
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: into it. Yeah. Cool, because because because because it just

832
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: seems like it's one of the obvious pictures. And I

833
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, don't come to do something that's obvious.

834
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: What what what's the plane, what's the story? So it

835
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: makes sense to me. If it makes sense to me

836
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: and I got the time to do it, then guess what,

837
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: I do it because guess what, I'm a creative person

838
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 1: and I know and I understand my music history in

839
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: my music legacy. But you want to put it out

840
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,359

Speaker 1: to l A and I will get up, everything's always magical.

859
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: Every time I would get up and go work out

860
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: in the gym about six o'clock in the morning, Johnny

861
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: Mathis was always in there working out, always in there working,

862
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: working there with two guys. It's always with two guys

863
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: in there working out. And UH had a great conversation

864
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: with him, man. And and the fact that you're telling

865
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: me today you're working with him means that, guess what,

866
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: He's a machine and he has something today he has

867
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: to say. So when we look at somebody like Johnny Mathis,

868
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: what when you start talking about music because you've seen

869
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: you listen to them, what what? What? What? What? What

870
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: are you trying to convey us? A writer for him? Well, unfortunately,

871
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: the Johnny Mathis Project is an album that worked with

872
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: Clid David song where we put together UH songs of

873
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: the past in the past twenty years. So he's doing

874
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: the song he's done. He's doing like I believe I

875
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: can fly right he's doing like he raised me up right,

876
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: and he's uh so, he's he's done a collection the

877
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: songs without ten songs where he's singing the songs and

878
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:05,640

Speaker 1: I had the pleasure of meeting you, with you, being

888
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: in the room with you, is that you're very respectful

00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:59,080

897
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: this business and and not step on somebody's toes at

898
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: some point, at some point you're gonna you're gonna have

899
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: a disagreement and things are gonna be aren't always going

900
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: to go that way. But as long as you do

901
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: it respectfully and and you're you're honest about it and

902
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: straightforward about it, then then people will respect you. I

903
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: pride myself and being in this business as long as

904
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: I've been and not really have any enemies. Um, and

905
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 1: that allows you to return to places. Um, you have

906
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: to be careful if you if you're kind of like,

907
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: you know, kind of stepping on everybody all along the way,

908
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: and then if if if, and we all go through

909
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: ups and downs. You know, nobody's at the top all

910

Speaker 1: entrepreneur in the career in the field of entertainment. And

947
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: and there's a show I'm gonna just tell you something, um,

948
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: Survivor's Remorse. First of all, just tell me what does

949
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: that title mean before we get into the ny detail.

950
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: What does that title meaning, Survivor's Remorse. Well, it's funny

951
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: because that the show's inception. Obviously, this show is is

952
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: ultimately the brainchild of Lebron James and Maverick Carter. And

953
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: as they've experienced success, and my goodness, they've experienced it

954
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: to such a great degree. Uh, they've often referred to

955
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: this feeling of having remorse because they've survived, survived their circumstances,

956
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: and they've often felt this pool to go back and

957
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: to help and feel bad when they can't do everything

958
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: for everybody. So that's where the show's title comes from.

959
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: It really ultimately comes from them and a feeling that

960
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: they've had over the years as they've grown and expanded

961
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: their territory, and so they've often felt this Survivor's remorse. Okay,

962
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tell you this right now, I'm talking

973
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: The mic EP episode after everybody was in the hospital,

974
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: my wife cried on that episode. I look back at it,

975
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: I go, you got to be kidding me. Episodes like this.

976
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: It's just that, so you could talk to me about

977
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: this seriously. I want to talk to you about this

978
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: series and other things that you're doing in your life,

979
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: but also the fact that when you when you get

980
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: a character like this man, and I'm gonna just tell

981
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: you what I'm gonna just tell you when I watch you, man,

982
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's like impressive brother and and and and

983
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: and and their layers in it, and I want you

984
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: to tell me about it because some of them remind

985
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: me of me when I when in my early years

986
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: of managing Steve Harvey, because I was angry a lot,

987
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: because I had nowhere to turn because everybody looked at

988
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: me for information and sometimes I didn't have the information.

989
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: And if you and you, if you're looking, if you're

990
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: perceived to be the answer man. Plus you know, I

991
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: managed him in l A. So I was constanly surrounded

992
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: by you know that that the gang world, you know,

993
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: because everybody came to us. And so I see you

994
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: step in and out of that a lot, and so

995
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: so the the drain on that character for you emotionally

996
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: tell me about it. You know, it's it's tough man,

997
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: and and the funny thing and people may or may

998
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: not know, but you know, Rashawn was you know, you

999
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: and I worked together when I first moved to l A.

1000
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: And I had so much to learn. And so I

1001
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 1: look back and the late nineties to taken on a role,

1002
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: to taken on a role like this and all honesty, man,

1003
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: if the way God works, if God has shown me

1004
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: the amount of responsibility that the page count, the emotional

1005
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 1: uh depths I'd have to go to for this role.

1006
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would have accepted it early on,

1007
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: just because I wasn't a percent sure that it was

1008
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: in me. But having said that God never gets anything

1009
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: that you can't handle, it has truly been beyond the

1010
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: blessing for me to explore this character, to be given

1011
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: the free range to really explore it and go deep.

1012
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: They've challenged me on so many different levels and really, uh,

1013
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, just taught me that there was an artists

1014
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: in me that I ain't even know it was there.

1015
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 1: And um and and that's really what this role has been.

1016
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: You know, the feedback, the you know, the lack of

1017
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: positive African American males on television and movies. Uh, you know,

1018
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: it being able to portray this character and get the

1019
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: type of love that I get from the community is

1020
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: a reward that it's just I can't even begin to

1021
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: tell you. Um, it just feels really great and um

1022
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: and it's just a testament to you know, uh enduring

1023
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: the the you know this bi business in peace the

1024
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: valley and uh, you know, there's far more valleys than

1025
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 1: there are peaks. So when you can get to a

1026
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: role like this and and be given the free rein

1027
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: to dig in, Uh, it's just truly a bus and

1028
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: truly an honor. Right. You know. It's funny because he

1029
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: ron Rico mentioned my name early in his career and

1030
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 1: just gets just let's go a little deeper on that one,

1031
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: is that I was young producer writer on the series

1032
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: Sister Sister, and UH had the opportunity to be in

1033
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: the casting room and cast him to be one of

1034
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: the love interests for one of the trends to the

1035
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 1: character there was Tarik Scott and and the thing about

1036
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: it and we develop a relationship off camera when he

1037
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: would talk to me and come to me and he

1038
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: and one of the things that always always trip me

1039
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: out about him was he always wanted to know what

1040
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: to do with his money. Yeah, he come serious story.

1041
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: Now you come to my time, how we sit down?

1042
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 1: He's can I come out and talk to you? Because

1043
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm making a little money. I don't want

1044
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: to mess it up, and you know, and young actors

1045
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: don't do that, which means that he always had a

1046
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: plan that this was gonna be his career and he

1047
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: didn't want to mess it up, and he wanted to

1048
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: know what the money he made, what to do with it?

1049
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: What was the vote philosophy back then? Because I love

1050
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 1: the fact that you know I'm now doing and that's

1051
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: been my crusade now is telling people how they advanced,

1052
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: how to tell people to move their careers forward. And

1053
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: I basically was doing this as a hobby way back then.

1054
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, you were my first plient, and

1055

1085
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,440

00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: I had to do to make sure that when it

1087
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,560

1089
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: you know that in Georgia because what Houston was, you

1090
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: Georgia was for me. Uh you know, man, what you

1091
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: the time you took from me back then again, Man,

1092
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: I was early twenties. We're talking, you know, two decades later, Man,

1093
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: I am still still drawing from that information, still drawing

1094
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: from that knowledge, Man, and I just had. And that's

1095
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: just you know, that's just the business side. There were

1096
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: things you imparted to me as an artist that I

1097
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: steal to this day. You know, I never forget. Man.

1098
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: You probably don't remember this, but you know, when I

1099
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: started on Sister Sister, Sister Sister was the first four

1100
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: cameras show I've ever done. It was really the first

1101
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: comedy I've ever done. And so for a lot of

1102
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: actors when you're when you come into that comedy where

1103
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: you're still trying to get your feelings, you know, you're

1104
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: kind of trying to find your footing. And I remember

1105
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: you guys cast Dion Richmond opposite right at the same time,

1106
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: Dian and I got cast the Cosby show, Yes, and

1107
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: and came up in a in a you know, under

1108
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: the tulage of a comedic genius with Bill Cosby. And

1109
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: so I found myself and you noticed that what I

1110
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: started doing was kind of aligning my comedy with Dean's comedy.

1111
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: I'll never forget this. May or may not remember. We

1112
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: was at craft service. You just can't tap me to

1113
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: shows and let me touch you for a second. We

1114
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: when and we sat down and basically what you were

1115
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: saying to me was find your own voice. You know,

1116
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: we've brought Dion in to do what Dion does. We

1117
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: don't need you to do what Dan. We need you

1118
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: to do what you do. And I remember feeling I'm

1119
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: not only I remember initially feeling hurt because as an

1120
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: actor you're sensitive trap ya. But the more I thought

1121
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: about it, man, it was some of the most vital

1122
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 1: information that has ever been imparted on me because what

1123
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: it urged me to do, what it pushed me to do,

1124
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: was to create what was my funny, not somebody else's funny.

1125
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: And uh man, So I just want you to know

1126
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: that not only from a business standpoint of financial standpoint,

1127
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: but just from a career standpoint. Man, you also imparted

1128
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: knowledge and so sees in me that to this day

1129
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: I still draw upon me And I've never told you

1130
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: thank you for that, but I appreciate it, man, because

1131
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: you could have very easily allowed me to continue down

1132
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: that path. And you know I never would have developed

1133
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: my own voice but you. But you took that time out, man,

1134
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: and that's a that's something God gave you, man, and

1135

Speaker 1: it's it's listen if you're If you've been a blessing

1211
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: of those shows that it's unlike anything on television right

1212
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: now in my opinion, and um, you know, it's we've

1213
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: been fortunate enough to to grow and it's kind of

1214
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: been a slow boy. When you look at the numbers, man,

1215
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 1: they've really Man, we've really, really really been blessed to

1216
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: have the numbers just they all I think they they

1217
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: they almost you know, doubled by over from I think

1218
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: second to Thursday. So we were continually growing. People are

1219
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: finding out about the show, people like you, you know,

1220
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: talking us up having the show. It raises awareness of

1221
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 1: the show. I think the episode that you're you're speaking

1222
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: to with the season finale last year, and in all honesty, uh,

1223
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: they had given me some indication early on of of

1224
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: that particular scene, but it was a couple of years ago,

1225
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: and so as an actor, you kind of you know

1226
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: you're taking it. You go all right, but if it happens,

1227
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: it happens. If it doesn't, So when it didn't happen,

1228
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: I kind of got away from it and uh and

1229
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: and never thought about it. And then two weeks before

1230
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: we shot, maybe a week before we were scheduled to

1231
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: shoot the Zega, Bruster put me aside and say, hey, man,

1232
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: we're putting this scene back in. I was like, WHOA.

1233
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: So uh. You know, as a lot of people don't know,

1234
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: when you get into the the weekly grind of making

1235
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: a television show, you know, it's every week it's a

1236
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 1: new episode, and so it becomes difficult to prepare because

1237
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,439
Speaker 1: you're you know, you you're shooting one episode. You gotta

1238
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: be thinking about the next episode, but you can't afford

1239
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: to not think about the current episode. So it was

1240
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: a lot. It was. It was a lot. It was.

1241
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: It was quite the challenge. Uh and uh. You know,

1242
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: the one thing I did do was I was very

1243
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: much uh in the noah as to how they wanted

1244
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: to shoot it. And so there were a couple of

1245
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: things that I just asked for that I felt would

1246
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: help me and just kind of in shooting it, and

1247
01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 1: that we didn't We didn't do a whole lot of coverage.

1248
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: We just simply kind of we got in there and um,

1249
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: we kind of broke it down. I think I did

1250
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: it one time, all the way through with this fact

1251
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: and we kind of broke it down. They gave me

1252
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 1: a couple of points and I told them, I said,

1253
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: looking for some reason, it's not feeling cohesive to break

1254
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: it down. We'll just go straight through it. You know,

1255
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: it worked out that way. Um, I think to go there.

1256
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: People always asked me, I mean, listen, when that episode aired,

1257
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: my d m s, whether it's Facebook and grand Twitter,

1258
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: were just literal with people that had similar, uh you know,

1259
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: similar experience, and I was really surprised by the women

1260
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 1: that were raising children that that we're having similar experiences.

1261
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 1: Solve was getting it not only from young men, older

1262
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: men that relate to it. I was also getting it

1263
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 1: from women that were ultimately affected by the absence of

1264
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: fathers in their in their son's lives. And so for me,

1265
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: growing up in a two pair of household with a

1266
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: father that I absolutely adore, it was very, very difficult.

1267
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: And so for the first time, I think I actually

1268
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: work with a work with an acting coach, and uh,

1269
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: and we broke it down over the course of mab Yeah,

1270
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: what it was, and more importantly, how I could get

1271
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: there and stay there and um and and and be

1272
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: present throughout that because again, people see what ultimately equation

1273
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: to eight and I maybe ten minutes of on screen,

1274
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: but it's probably boils down to about four and a

1275
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: half hours of actually feeling. That's a long time, you know,

1276
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 1: to to have to sustain. Uh, and so you have

1277
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 1: to be aware of it. So that day, Uh, you know,

1278
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: I just really tried to stay to myself, um, but

1279
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: not too much. You know, I didn't want to just

1280
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: be isolated. But but yeah, you know, I'm how to

1281
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: prayer a lot of just kind of letting go and

1282
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 1: just kind of yielding to what this experience was. You know, Now,

1283
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: I am a father, and a lot of what I

1284
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 1: was able to draw upon it. I'm a father. I

1285
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: got two boys, and so what I was able to

1286
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: really do is kind of substitute. You know, what if

1287
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't my boy's father, what if my what what

1288
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: if my children's father was like the guy that I'm

1289
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: sitting across this table looking from and and and and

1290
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 1: you know, digging into and so once we you know,

1291
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: we had to go through a couple of things to

1292
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: figure out what would kind of ignite that thing in me.

1293
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: And and we found out it would be trying to

1294
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: imagine my children being raised by an abusive father. Uh

1295
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: and and not being there, not being present and uh

1296
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: And as soon as we kind of hit that, uh,

1297
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times, I think when it

1298
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: comes down and the kids, you know, we always think

1299
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:29,520
Speaker 1: of women being you know, the mothers being very protective

1300
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: emotionally and physically of their child, but actually fathers carry

1301
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: that same trade. And we we you know, we want

1302
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: to protect our children, we want to you know, love

1303
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: our children. And so in the absence of being able

1304
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 1: to do that or imagine my kid's life, you know,

1305
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: without that type of protection, and then you add on abuse,

1306
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 1: and you add on all the other things that Reggie

1307
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: talked about in that scene, it became very easy to

1308
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: go there. Yeah, it was two things that really stood

1309
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: out for being the scene we're talking about a scene

1310
01:09:56,439 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: in the series Survivors Remorse where Reggie meets his father,

1311
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: uh and his father and it's not a very h

1312
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: happy meeting because his father is trying to trying to

1313
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: get back in good graces without Hey, hey, I'll recover.

1314
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to reveal any of this scene to anybody,

1315
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: but just give you the nuances of what this scene

1316
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: is all about. But there were two things in this scene.

1317
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: In this scene that made it a brilliant scene to me.

1318
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 1: One was when the waitress kept coming into the scene

1319
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: and you said not right now, which is a classic

1320
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: scene that I've had when I'm doing business in the restaurant,

1321
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: and I went, wow, man, that was brilliant, toy. Have

1322
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: this waitress come in here and you didn't break try

1323
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: anywhere right now, be with you in a minute, not

1324
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 1: right there, be with you in a minute. Twice she

1325
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: came in. And the other great moment in that scene

1326
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: which when you was patting your dad on his back,

1327
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: dud dude, because the path they kind of kind of

1328
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: got a little heavy and then you pulled up. So

1329
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: so I like to know when that scene and then

1330
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: what did he say about those paths on this back? Uh?

1331
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 1: You know, Marlon Young is a great actor. I've been

1332
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: a fan of his work for years and he's very

1333
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: much one of those actors. He didn't want me to

1334
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: to pull pull pull back, man. He needed to feel

1335
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 1: it you know, he's one of those actors and he

1336
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: was certainly there for me emotionally made himself available. But no,

1337
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: you know it was it was weird. Even writing to

1338
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: the set, you know, he and I had very little interactions.

1339
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 1: Uh you know, we kind of wanted this thing to

1340
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 1: feel like a father and son that hadn't seen each

1341
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 1: other and you know, twenty many years, eighteen twenty years.

1342
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: But you know, afterwards it was just um, you know

1343
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: it was it was just one of those things, man,

1344
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 1: where two performers get together and they connect and it

1345
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: just becomes about the material. But yeah, no, the pat

1346
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: wanted him is hard. You know, he's hard. I could

1347
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 1: stand him. That's what he wanted, and that's what I

1348
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 1: gave a brother. That scene was phenomenal. But I was

1349
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 1: just gonna tell you, man, the characters that they developed

1350
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 1: on this show, the Jupiter character, who was the football player,

1351
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 1: that the show character who was as managers slash pimp Flash,

1352
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. Uh, tell us about

1353
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: the upcoming season, man, because I'm seeing the promos and

1354
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: you're getting in the fight here, look like you're going

1355
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: back into the streets a little bit. Tell us about

1356
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: the upcoming season here f Rico, Uh, well, you know, listen,

1357
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 1: we got we got ten episodes to cover a lot,

1358
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of territory. So I think

1359
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 1: we do just that. The show, if you look back

1360
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: on the first season to show us continued to evolve, thankfully,

1361
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: our audiences continued to embrace us. Hopefully that will continue,

1362
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: because that's the best way to ensure we get subsequent

1363
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: seasons five, six, hey, who knows, seven and eight. But

1364
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: but I think this season will continue to continue to

1365
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:43,560
Speaker 1: see uh, you see less of the family dynamic. And

1366
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: I just say that. When I say that, I mean

1367
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: you don't see as much of the family together, and

1368
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: everybody kind of in their own worlds, dealing with their

1369
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: own issues and just trying to kind of hell find

1370
01:12:56,280 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: exactly perfect perfect find themselves. You know. For Reggie, you know,

1371
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:02,679
Speaker 1: the situation with his father is something that we don't

1372
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: dwell on that much this season. But what we really

1373
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: see with him is she's trying to continue to grow

1374
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: that legacy and and and so not actually what he's

1375
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: really trying to do this year is focus more so

1376
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: on the Vons he and Missy's legacy, uh and and

1377
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: the and the the thing that happens this season is,

1378
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, what he kind of envisions for his future

1379
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: kind of bump heads with what Cam sees and the

1380
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: very interesting dynamic between the two of them. Uh. To

1381
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 1: Sheina Arnold's character, Uh, Cassie goes on a spiritual journey. Uh.

1382
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: You know, Cam continues his feeling uh, you know, continues

1383
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: his work to his foundation. He's still growing, and we

1384
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 1: watched him actually take a very prominent role uh kind

1385
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: of in what serves as our players union on the show.

1386
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 1: Um Im Chuck continues to dig deep into her past

1387
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: and feel uh, and Missy does the Missy still on

1388
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 1: that same trajectory of really trying to make sure that

1389
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:03,560
Speaker 1: when Cam's career end, Reggie's career doesn't end. And so

1390
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 1: you know, collectively, everybody's just kind of on their own

1391
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:09,560
Speaker 1: separate journey. Um. And it's you know, it's been a

1392
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 1: it's been a testament to the writers to kind of

1393
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: take a show and kind of deviate from its initial inception.

1394
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: I think when it was first sold, it was sold

1395
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 1: as a thirty minute sitcom, and it's become it's become

1396
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:25,639
Speaker 1: much more than that, and it really is, it really

1397
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 1: is and sadly, you know, there are so few of

1398
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 1: those that they already categories for dramed ease. I think

1399
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 1: if there were, you know, Survivor's Remorse would would get

1400
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: even more critical acclaim than what it currently does. But

1401
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 1: right now we're a show that I think UH will

1402
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 1: spawn other shows in the future to say that just

1403
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: because you're thirty minute comedy doesn't mean you can't really

1404
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 1: delve deep into, you know, some real emotional storylines that

1405
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 1: that will make people cry. But then on, like you said,

1406
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 1: a scene later will had you cracking up, laughing, like

1407
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: my wife crying, you know, but it's for a good reason,

1408
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 1: because the characters are relatable. Ron Rico, Man, I thank

Speaker 1: has that changed the game for you? The social media? Well,

1440
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 1: for me, I was to be honest at you, I

1441
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 1: was a little late to the party. What's us Now

Speaker 1: it's allowed me to talk to my to my audience

1443
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: and you know where I came back from the time

1444
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: me and you together. When the social media first came,

1445
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: the young comedians was on it, I was like, Man,

1446
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and tell my jokes out

1447
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 1: for freaks. Man, I get hay for him, and I

1448
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 1: known that that's what I should have did, was going

1449
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 1: and get to him for free. And we made it

1450
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: for him, set up for the better audience. Man, I'd

1451
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: have been a lot farther than I am today. Boy.

1452
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm still getting around to it, but

1453
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 1: it's important. And they judged everything here out here in

1454
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,640
Speaker 1: l A. Now on your life. You followers, And what

1455
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: I tell them is, man, when I tell them from

1456
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:44,560
Speaker 1: only for my professionals us being comedians, don't tell me

1457
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: how many followers you got, Tell me how many comedians

1458
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,640
Speaker 1: can you follow? That's what we able to step you

1459
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 1: step on that stage and go behind six or seven

1460
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 1: bad comedians still hold that audience. I don't hear how

1461
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,640
Speaker 1: many followers you got. That's the fault. I want to know.

1462
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's, it's it's interesting because you know

1463
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: when you say that, because in two thousand and seven,

1464
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 1: that's when I remember, you know, Steve and I sat

1465
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 1: down and we had this big old mailing list. We

1466
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 1: had a million people are mailing list. I was trying

1467
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 1: to ignore social media. In fact, I was ignoring social

1468
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: media because I felt it was a lot of work.

1469
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: Even though I saw Twitter on all the news anchors,

1470
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: I saw Twitter fees and facebooks on all the corporate

1471
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:27,600
Speaker 1: pages and everything. I was trying to ignore. So but

1472
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:30,759
Speaker 1: what I really discovered is that, like you said earlier,

1473
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, in the media, with advertisers another likes, they

1474
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: deemed you just being topical. They deemed you as being

1475
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 1: a person, an influencer. And you said, you come late

1476
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 1: to the game. But guess what, the game ain't late

1477
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 1: for you because you understand the important because the first

1478
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 1: thing out your mouth was talking about social media. Yeah,

1479
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's, it's, it's it's amazing that you

1480
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: can just go out here and touch and talk to

1481
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: everybody and they can touch it, and you can put

1482
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: your point of view in which we have a unique one.

1483
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 1: I said, we're the third eye, you know what I mean.

1484
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 1: We made we made what's plem So now you could

1485
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: talk to him and were reven you know, and with

1486
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: anything you got, good or bad. But it's it's working

1487
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: for me now. And that's why. Yeah, because I got

1488
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: some more on the show today too, and it's the

1489
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 1: same conversation I'm gonna have with her about social media

1490
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 1: because we know it's a beast out there, Like Kevin

1491
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: Hard is a beast and social media and then you

1492
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 1: have he's a beast, he's learned to go. This is

1493
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 1: the business side of Kevin Hard, and this is the

1494
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 1: funniest side of Kevin Hard. Then you have people who

1495
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: we don't even know that out there there, young comedians.

1496
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: They got four or five million followers and I've never

1497
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,640
Speaker 1: heard of my life, but they are relevant because they

1498
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: have that social media follower. That's the business side and

1499
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,600
Speaker 1: that's why I really started money making conversations and guess what,

1500
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,719
Speaker 1: I launched it on my Facebook page with your social media,

1501
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:01,719
Speaker 1: and that's important under branding process. And that's really important

1502
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 1: because I remember you you called me with Sean about

1503
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 1: somebody says something negative on your Facebook page and you

1504
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: would get wanted to get that straight. So it's an

1505
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: important part of your brain correct earthquake. Yes, well it's

1506
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: very important because I mean, you're entitled to your opinion,

1507
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: but you're not entited to your own facts. Yes, sir,

1508

Speaker 1: that stage. Look at it. I walked out that stage.

1551
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 1: I went to me a radio shock, I got me

1552
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 1: a little recorder, and I just started working my act

1555
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: defines who you are. Man, isn't that true? Yes? It is.

1556
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 1: And what we call it is the anchor. You know,

1557
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 1: it's the anchor, especially when you're dealing with our people.

1558
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:06,600
Speaker 1: They don't give you. But so many times, remember like

01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 1: in that chat and they look around and they're like, man,

1562
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm getting tired of this now. Now you you get

1563

01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 1: I look at you and no comparison other than this

1567
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 1: is like the trump Father did, put the pathway down

1568
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 1: there for us to go. You and see has showed

1569
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: how it is. I can if anything that's the same

1570
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 1: way sit down here. You know. WBLS was great for me.

1571
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: It didn't give me the opportunity to be syndicated. I

1572
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 1: didn't go on with in New York to be in

1573
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: one radio. I wanted to do like y'all did. I

1574
01:23:56,120 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 1: wanted to be this the afternoon Drive prepare, propelled myself

1575
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:06,080
Speaker 1: with a TV show, expand my brand and do different things.

1576
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: And I talked to my consumers in the morning, pulled

1577
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 1: them to come watch me in the East. But that's

1578
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 1: that's important to hear. But that's important because I want

1579
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: to I want to hear that because of the fact

1580
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:19,720
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm always working, and you know, opportunities

1581

01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 1: just funny, but you also articulate social issues, which I

1586
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 1: thought was really important because it comes out in your

01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 1: comedy anyway. Yes, yes, And my favorite joke right now

1588

01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 1: Some more, I obol tell you some thank you for

1658
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 1: calling on money making conversation. And really what this shows

1659
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 1: about is that I'm not trying to put no pressure

1660
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,719
Speaker 1: because you're naturally funny anyway. It's really to help educate

1661
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: people about being successful, that every road to success is

1662
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 1: paid differently. And you know, and and and I've been

1663
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: fortunate to see your journey and and I'm gonna say

1664
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: this up top, is that you have created a raw

1665
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 1: sex appeal and in the in the in the female

1666
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:05,360
Speaker 1: comedian drawing, youre that. I think it's very powerful. Am

1667
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 1: I wrong in saying that? Um? That's that's cool. That's

1668
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 1: cool to be your perspective. That's cool. I can accept

1669
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:14,200
Speaker 1: that that's nice because because we do not say that

1670
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 1: it is that it is that it is, that it's

1671
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 1: nothing wrong because you know, because a lot of people

1672
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: think that you can't be be you know, you have

1673
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:20,680
Speaker 1: to be a certain way. You gotta be you know,

1674
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 1: closed baggy or you know, little clownish, a little google.

1675
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:27,760
Speaker 1: You know, for a long time, Hollywood's perception of black

1676
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:30,080
Speaker 1: women being funny was fat black and on the track.

1677
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Come on, come on, it

1678
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:35,480
Speaker 1: was for for a long time that was just the perception.

1679
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 1: And you know, I think we're still breaking down stereotypes

1680
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 1: with that. And uh, I just I just was here

1681
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 1: to prove that we can be funny and and and

1682
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:47,840
Speaker 1: look all different types of ways now were now in

1683
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:51,280
Speaker 1: making that journey because you know, your success is you know,

1684
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:54,160
Speaker 1: here's a you know, my older sister gonna always take

1685
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 1: credit for discovering you're at the hip Hop Comedy Stop,

1686
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, because I would just tell you quick history

1687
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 1: about some more and I I had a comedy club

1688
01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 1: into called the Hip Hop Comedy Stop, and and we

1689
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:07,840
Speaker 1: used to bring in unknown talent and then we made

1690
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 1: our money on headliners that had a TV credits, and

1691
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 1: my sister were coming in for a month. She coming

1692
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:15,560
Speaker 1: in with this videotape some more, some more, sit to

1693
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 1: my club to get booked. I wasn't looking at it

1694
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 1: at all. Finally I told her, Okay, I'm gonna just

1695
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 1: book her. I'm just gonna book her if you just

1696
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 1: leave me along, Caroline, I'm a book her. I'm gonna

1697
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 1: tell you something. I booked some more. She blew the headline. Yeah,

1698
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 1: it didn't even mean to do that. I mean, she was.

1699
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 1: My club was in Houston, Floorda from Atlanta, Georgia, flord Flanda.

1700
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:44,720
Speaker 1: She hit that stage and messed everybody up. And that

1701
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:47,720
Speaker 1: was the foundation for you being a star, you know,

1702
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 1: because you just had that natural gift to be great

1703
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 1: and you've just carried it on. So here's the thing

1704
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:57,960
Speaker 1: that people didn't know before I became a stand up comedian.

1705
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 1: I was. I was a business owner, owned my own business.

1706
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:04,600
Speaker 1: I own my own store, and then I used to

1707
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:09,080
Speaker 1: be a a substitute algebra teacher. So days when I

1708
01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:11,000
Speaker 1: wasn't working at my store, I would be I would

1709
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:13,560
Speaker 1: be in uh school in the high school's teaching. And

1710
01:31:15,240 --> 01:31:18,840
Speaker 1: so before I became a comedian, I actually read a

1711
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 1: book and I still tell people refer people to this

1712
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 1: book today. It's called How to Be a Stand Up Comedian.

1713
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 1: I read the entire book. I did exactly what the

1714
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:31,880
Speaker 1: book said to do. I picked the persona that I

1715
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 1: wanted to go on stage to have um even from

1716
01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 1: my name, my name, my real name is Lorie. I

1717
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:39,640
Speaker 1: couldn't go up there and talk to junk that I

1718
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:44,400
Speaker 1: was talking as Lori. So so I'm like, people ain't

1719
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:47,559
Speaker 1: gonna buy that Lori is this superhero. So I picked

1720
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:49,840
Speaker 1: the name and I said, if you give somebody something

1721
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 1: good with what they want, they would want some more. Okay,

1722
01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 1: I'm going with some more. And that's and that's how

1723
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:58,160
Speaker 1: it happened. And I did exactly what the book said

1724
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:01,719
Speaker 1: to do. I wrote my material, I stuck to my persona.

1725
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 1: I worked on my delivery and it worked. But it

1726
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 1: was a business I approached it from a business perspective

1727
01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 1: because your degrees in mathematics, correct, right, My degree is

1728
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: in business administration of minor and mathematics. Okay, because my

1729
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:17,080
Speaker 1: degree is in mathematics. And the reason I bring that

1730
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 1: up because it is a certain analytical behavior that you have.

1731
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 1: You know, too pless too is always four and so

1732
01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 1: if you and that means your planner, and that really

1733
01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm this is the first time I've heard your stories.

1734
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:30,719
Speaker 1: Many times we talked, and it's not we share the stage.

1735
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,640
Speaker 1: That explains to me how your pattern of success, how

1736
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,800
Speaker 1: you've always been a forward moving person. And I plan

1737
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 1: everything I write. I write notes every night before I

1738
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:44,120
Speaker 1: go to bed my day what I'm gonna do the

1739
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: next day. I have to plan. I am. I am

1740
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:49,479
Speaker 1: a planner. I have to. I have to. I believe

1741
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,720
Speaker 1: in structure, right, and I really do. And then with that,

1742
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 1: with that, with that structure. So so because you've done

1743
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:58,280
Speaker 1: certain things, I think that's been really important. You know,

1744
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 1: your headline tool and then something towards you. Her host

1745
01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:08,639
Speaker 1: is the strategy and the hosting versus the headlining. Here yeah, okay,

1746
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:11,280
Speaker 1: here here's the thing. First of all, I love stand

1747
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:15,680
Speaker 1: Up Stand Up. It stole my heart, like I loved it,

1748
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 1: and I loved it from the time the first time

1749
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:20,800
Speaker 1: I've ever seen Joan Rivers. I swear to you like

1750
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 1: I was just in awe, in awe of the of

1751
01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:26,800
Speaker 1: the whole world of stand up. Like I said, I

1752
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 1: studied it and for me, it's about the show, about

1753
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 1: it being a good show. It's never about just me

1754
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: as a performer. I want people to say, oh, that

1755
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 1: was a great show. So I always am concerned about

1756
01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:45,840
Speaker 1: my positioning on the show. You know one thing that

1757
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:49,519
Speaker 1: people never understood with Deaf Comedy Jam when they would

1758
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,640
Speaker 1: see people have bad sets on Death Comedy Jam, and

1759
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:56,800
Speaker 1: they never realized that sometime it was the positioning the

1760
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,600
Speaker 1: way people position or what you didn't know is that

1761
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:02,640
Speaker 1: the and stood outside for two hours to get in.

1762
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:05,519
Speaker 1: It was cold, it was raining, They're in a bad

1763
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 1: mood already, you know, would stand up. There's so many

1764
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 1: elements that go into your performance being successful. It really

1765
01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:17,000
Speaker 1: it really, it's like you know this, You know that

1766
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 1: that you're right on the money when you're talking about attitude,

1767
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:23,960
Speaker 1: talking about positioning, and about taking advantage of things that

1768
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,800
Speaker 1: have presented to you. For instance, here Naty two, I'm

1769
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:29,920
Speaker 1: telling you this, this young lady. You know, I would

1770
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:32,759
Speaker 1: have had to be forced to be on my comedy

1771
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 1: close stage because because I didn't want to take the

1772
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 1: time to put on stage. And guess what, I didn't

1773
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:38,920
Speaker 1: think I had time. I never heard of some more

1774
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:41,720
Speaker 1: like you just told you just made the name up,

1775
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, and so she blowed my stage away, and

1776
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:47,799
Speaker 1: then what two years later he was the first female

1777
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 1: host of BTS Comic View Exactly Wow, which was strategic

1778
01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:55,840
Speaker 1: in what I wanted to do, Like I really made

1779
01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 1: a lot of lot of strategic moves, even down to

1780
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, like I still twenty five years in the business.

1781
01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:04,679
Speaker 1: I go on stage with a list, a comedy list,

1782
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:07,120
Speaker 1: and people always say, well, why you just don't go

1783
01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:10,719
Speaker 1: up in freestyle? I can. I care about the quality

1784
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:13,880
Speaker 1: of the show. I care about the quality of the show,

1785
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 1: like I know the theme of this presentation that I

1786
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 1: am going to give you all some kind of way,

1787
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:22,599
Speaker 1: all of these jokes will mesh with the overall theme

1788
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:25,200
Speaker 1: of the show, Like I'm that deep with it when

1789
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:27,960
Speaker 1: it comes to doing stand up. But that's where a

1790
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 1: lot of people miss is that they don't take the

1791
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:33,080
Speaker 1: business side of life. And my whole, my whole thing

1792
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:34,760
Speaker 1: I tell people when they listen to the show and

1793
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 1: watch the show on Facebook is that your story can

1794
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:40,960
Speaker 1: be applied in so many different layers of life. You

1795
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:43,760
Speaker 1: just happy to tell jokes because you're talking about you know,

1796
01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:47,560
Speaker 1: planning your success. You're talking about hey, getting up, you know,

1797
01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 1: applying a plan of action and being consistent with your

1798
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 1: goal setting. And that's what this is. I have always

1799
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:57,600
Speaker 1: been that way. I mean just from even you know,

1800
01:35:57,680 --> 01:35:59,280
Speaker 1: when you're going to the grocery store with your mother,

1801
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 1: your mother before all leaves, she said, look here, we're

1802
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 1: going in here with this list. I'm not buying you this.

1803
01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm not buying you that you get two things. You

1804
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:09,680
Speaker 1: know you had, you had a structure, so when you

1805
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,240
Speaker 1: get in there, we already know the game plan. Like

1806
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:14,960
Speaker 1: I am just a planning person. I have to have

1807
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 1: structure to know what it actually what what what is

1808
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm going into and if it doesn't work for me,

1809
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:23,600
Speaker 1: if it doesn't, if it won't, if I don't like

1810
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:26,519
Speaker 1: to be put in situations where I don't, I'm not

1811
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:30,240
Speaker 1: at my best light. And I tell people, if anything

1812
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:33,160
Speaker 1: you do, you have to approach it as a business

1813
01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:36,040
Speaker 1: and you have to know your strengths and your weaknesses

1814
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 1: and always be in your best light. And that's really important.

1815
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 1: So so when I ask you this question about because

1816
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm starting to see you more and more, you know

1817
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 1: on social media. You know I'm talking to what the

1818
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 1: Facebook lide feeds. So so why why why why are

1819
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 1: you doing that and just just strate teaching questions because

1820
01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 1: I just want to educate. I don't First of all,

1821
01:36:55,920 --> 01:37:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm so afraid of social media. If airy to me,

1822
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:04,120
Speaker 1: it's so scary to me. And here's why it's scary

1823
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:07,120
Speaker 1: to me, because you're you're open up and you're you're

1824
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 1: being vulnerable to people who, first of all, may not

1825
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 1: know your whole story. They don't they don't care about

1826
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 1: your whole story, and they can be evil when they

1827
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:18,720
Speaker 1: can be mean. You know, so you when when you

1828
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:21,400
Speaker 1: when you dibble and dabble in that particular arena, you

1829
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:24,599
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta you know, you gotta be careful because

1830
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:26,439
Speaker 1: you could come on there and they'd be like your

1831
01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:31,360
Speaker 1: nose big right, right, right right? Because now is that

1832
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: the reason you were shades? No? No, I the reason

1833
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 1: I love sunglasses. I want to know, because you know,

1834
01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:42,920
Speaker 1: every time you'll be looking at I wear sunglasses, let

1835
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 1: me tell you my outfit is not complete. I start

1836
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:51,760
Speaker 1: with the sunglasses. No, no, no, But I'm just saying

1837
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 1: like people will say anything like like you look, I'm

1838
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 1: just not I'm just not cut from that cloth. Where

1839
01:37:57,240 --> 01:38:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm just to having to, you know, deal with people

1840
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 1: randomly people's opinion all the time. So yeah, and I

1841
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 1: can understand. I can relate to that because that's a

1842
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 1: big part of social media, having to deal with opinions,

1843
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 1: having to deal with people making comments about you. But

1844
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:15,599
Speaker 1: they tell you that that's the that's the forward motion

1845
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 1: because if you don't participate, then you're not considered topical,

1846
01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:21,640
Speaker 1: you're not consider the influencers. So if it forces you

1847
01:38:22,120 --> 01:38:25,360
Speaker 1: in that lane, that that guess what determines whether or

1848
01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:28,519
Speaker 1: not you're successful in certain opportunities did they come your way?

1849
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 1: So here's here's the thing. Also, like I don't worry

1850
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:37,200
Speaker 1: about being relevant because most people that are relevant have

1851
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 1: a sex tape out. True, in order to be relevant,

1852
01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:45,799
Speaker 1: you just got to do so many things to be relevant.

1853
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:48,559
Speaker 1: But what I work on and I do challenge people

1854
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:51,479
Speaker 1: to do, is to be loyal to my brand or

1855
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:54,920
Speaker 1: to be if you if you're interested in equality stand up,

1856
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 1: then this is where you can come to get it.

1857
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:00,599
Speaker 1: But what what happened, what we're happened, what's happening now

1858
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:03,960
Speaker 1: is that I think the art of stand up is

1859
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:08,280
Speaker 1: being convoluted with so many different different styles and different.

1860
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, we're dealing with silly a lot too, absolutely,

1861
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:15,519
Speaker 1: and they give followers to get engagement. You know, it's

1862
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:17,760
Speaker 1: one thing for somebody to be silly sitting in a car,

1863
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:21,640
Speaker 1: or silly for two minute two seconds you're seeing them

1864
01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 1: on Facebook, than to be silly to be honest doing

01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:28,160
Speaker 1: stand up on stage. Thank you so more for calling in.
