32
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you this, I have never seen you

33
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: play a role that was not extremely believable. Yeah, even

34
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: when your ass was under that bed, man saying, man,

35
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,760

36
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: student was under this bed really looking real stink. Hey man,

37
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: you were you gabriel y'all your friends in real life? Man,

38
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: what's that like to work with your friends in a

39
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: in a role like that, to put you all on

40
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: opposite ends? You know, honestly, it's it's why I'm why

41
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm doing the show. You know. It's like I saw

42
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: I saw at a wedding and she was like you know,

43
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: she and we started talking talking about it, and you

44
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: know that's when I realized, you know, yeah, this would

45
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: be this would be great actually because we've never really

46
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: worked together. Even though we've been in the same projects,

47
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: we've never really worked together. So, um, you know, it

48
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: was an opportunity for us to kind of kind of

49
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: work together. And Gabrielle and I, you know, we talked

50
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: for years about certain issues that affect you know, what's

51
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: going on culturally and such. So it was an opportunity

52
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: to kind of work together. And if you you know,

53
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: anybody that knows Gabrielle knows that she has opinions, she

54
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: has thought and she will let you know them. She

55
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: way that you will be like damn, all right, I

56
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: got you, okay, And so, you know, like working with her,

57
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: it's like, what's what's fantastic is what's happening off screen.

58
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: You know, what's what's fantastic is what's happening off screen

59
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: and the conversations that we have about about what's going on.

60
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: And you know, when I started working on this, you

61
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: know a lot of you know, I got a lot

62
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,040
