00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: a like a bad way. It's just like it's a

111
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: prideful thing because that's a that's that's possible. Man. You

112
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: can be in Krogers, you can be in public, you

113
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: can be at all these ordinationswid just on the dream

114
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: tell us about that. You know what, man, you know

115
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: I learned this from you. I learned this from Steve Harvey.

116
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: It's about connections. It's about you know, capitalizing on it

117
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: when you know that they're bad, when you know the

118
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: opportunity is there. Um, you know, I live in Houston, Texas,

119
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: so you know I have put my ear to the

120
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: street on what does it take to get a product

121
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: in an in an h g B in a Kroger,

122
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: you know, and we don't see many black products on

123
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: the shelf. So I did the groundwork and found out

124
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: what it takes me like is that it you know,

125
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: And I'm saying they say, you know, if you get

126
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: about fifty sixty dollars in sales online, you are now

127
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: eligible and available to possibly be in h g B.

128
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: So my thing is what I got a million plus

129
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: people following me on on every social media outlet you

130
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: can think of. Surely I can sell sending them some grets,

131
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm just doing the map, saying it.

132
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: It all makes sense and um, and I'm connected with

133
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: people who are in the heads up of of h

134
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: g B, so it's right there. If I don't do it,

135
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: it makes no sense, man, Well it then they'll make

136
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: any sense. But more importantly, it makes sense that you

137
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: will talking about relationships like h g B is like

138
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: that's a power broker, you know, the day top quality,

139
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: the line we talked about. Everybody shops there in h

140
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: B and then you get to these Krogers. But I'm

141
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: just tell you, man, I was just so happy and

142
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: it just maybe smile just seeing your face on a

143
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: box of grich Man. And I've been and I and

144
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: I you know, because there's a black person man, we

145
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: grow up and and and and you know either the

146
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: ant your mama's and uncle bins and all that stuff.

147
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: And I know who you are. You're a graduate of

148
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: Texas n Them. You know what I'm saying you you

149
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: you know you're you're a businessman. So you're kind of

150
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: like breaking the model of what has been portrayed of

151
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: black people. And you've been breaking the marrow a long time,

152
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: all the way back to Texas. And then talk about that. Now,

153
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: have to slow you down because sometimes we just be

154
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: doing stuff time and we don't realize what we're doing.

155
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: But but it's it was a much more prideful thing,

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: more than the fact that I knew you. But that

157
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: was more pride when I saw that that when I

158
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: went to the website Just Good Grits and I saw

159
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: that dot com, I went, wow, it's my board man.

160
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Look at him on that box, man, and I knew

161
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: who you were, that I knew what you represented as

162
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: a man. But then just talk about that, you know what,

163
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: it's been a journey man. Um. I mean, you you

164
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: were there at the beginning. You put me on stage,

165
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: first time I ever got on stage and doing stand up,

166
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: and uh, it's just been a journey. So uh, you know,

167
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: at some point in my life I feel like, you know,

168
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: there's a there's a book coming, you know, a funny

169
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: thing happened on the way to Hollywood, you know, and

170
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: and it's just the journey of every stop that I've made.

171
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: I had no idea I was gonna be doing stand up.

172
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: I had no idea I was going to be doing radio.

173
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I was a theater major, thinking that, you know,

174
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: like all theater major. Okay, I'm going I'm on my

175
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: way to Broadway. Now, let me go to New York

176
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: and that's where I will be getting my career. That's

177
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: what you think. But you have no idea what your

178
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: journey is gonna be, and you have to be really

179
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: open about where your steps are going. And and sometimes

180
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: the journey you sometimes you need every stop along that

181
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: journey to get where you are, to be able to

182
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: look back and say, you know what, I respect where

183
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: I've been. I respect the whole journey God has sent

184
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: me through. And and now here I am I'm a

185
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: lot more mature, a lot a lot less crazy than

186
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: I used to, you know, so, so uh, you know,

187
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: you you just you grow up and and you learn

188
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: and you you you become a little bit more um

189
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: clear about what you need to be in the in

190
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: the journey that you're on and how to keep going

191
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: forward and and not uh not thinking that you can't

192
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: do something. So when I saw something like the grids,

193
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what I can do this. Let me,

194
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: let me, let me put my resources together, because I

195
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: have too many resources not not to make it. You know,

196
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: they say it's six degrees of separation. I think I'm

197
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: I think I'm two or three phone calls from anybody,

198
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: So it can be done. So I just I just

199
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: don't tell myself that it can't happen. I'm always pressing

200
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: forward on we can do this if we want to

201
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: do so. You know, the beauty of you, man is

202
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: that you know, it's that you know when you're under

203
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: umbrella of Steve Harvey's brand, you know, the Steve Rubert

204
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: Morning Show, but the prank phone calls has enabled you

205
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: to separate yourself as a true individual, true gifted talent,

206
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: which has led to other things, other acting things. We're

207
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: gonna get to ready for love. But I want to

208
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: just dissect that whole prank phone call brand that you built.

209
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's popular on YouTube, you know, generates income.

210
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: Let me say this though, Here's what Here's what the

211
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: listeners don't know is when I first started doing these

212
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: prank phone called the One and Only, Rushan McDonald said,

213
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: I won't fire every week. I like, what, I won't

214
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: five every week? And you know what, I used to

215
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: think that was just bananas. I used to say, he

216
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: has lost his mind if you think I can do

217
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: this that many times a week. But what that did

218
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: for me, you got me to over three hundred prank

219
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: calls laying in the cut. I now have that many.

220
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: And and what it is, Rushan, is you know it's

221
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: a little difficult now for me to to do the

222
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: prank sometimes because everybody is called on and they know Nephew,

223
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: Timmy's boys. But back then, when I was first starting,

224
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: they didn't know that. So I was able to build

225
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: this whole archive at that time. And now I look

226
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: back and say, oh my god, Rushan McDonald, if he

227
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't have made me going there go into the studio

228
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: cut these uh, these prank calls. I would not have

229
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: had this type of library at all. And I say,

230
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: thank you, brother, thank you for cracking that whip on me,

231
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: putting it on me. So going there and do do

232
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: what you wanted me to do. I thought I thought

233
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: you had lost your mind. But now I look back

234
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: and say, oh my god. And Rushan Now you know,

235
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: like we were talking about resources before, you know, I

236
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: went to um Yolanda Adams asked her, you know, how

237
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: do I get my stuff? Like like you got your

238
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: your your CDs in Walmart? How do I do that?

239
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: Yolanda Adams made one phone call and the next thing

240
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: I know, I was in Walmart and my first check

241
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: and and one month out of Walmart was about sixty

242
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: some thousand dollars and I was blown away. And and

243
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: here I am sitting on all these pranks. Go you

244
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: made me going there and do these pranks. And I

245
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: look back to Dave Rushan man, and you know, every

246
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: month YouTube sends me a check for my prank phone call.

247
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: So brother, thank you so much, thank you, thank you,

248
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm grateful, well, thank you for the compliment.

249
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: But you know, it all comes back to talent. I

250
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: always tell people you know a lot of people. You know,

251
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pusher, you know that, but I push people

252
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: who are feel But one thing, you work hard, Never

253
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: take that away from you. And then the fact that

254
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: you're you're gifted, and and and all the way back

255
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: to your sister sister days. You know, I was casting

256
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: your sister sisters. You know what I'm saying. As the share,

257
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: that's the share as the police officer, you know, you know,

258
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: but that's some people Understandment's about when you talk about

259
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: six degree relationships and all that holding onto you know,

260
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: doing some things that you're uncomfortable with When I say that,

261
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: sometimes you do things you're not paid for. That's the

262
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: uncomfortable part. When does this When does this endgame go to?

263
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: But the problem is that when people look at your brand,

264
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: they don't understand that it's a lot of work. You know,

265
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of fun. You're getting up every day.

266
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: You have to be topical, you have to be ready.

267
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: You're talking, we're working one of the biggest stars in

268
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: the world. You never know what comes out of his

269
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: head with directing. He gonna go on sometime and you

270
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: gotta be ready for that. And so that whole process

271
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: that led you to be able to go into different

272
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: acting scenarios. But that that prank phone call. Man, I

273
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: remember when I asked you that I knew we would

274
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: own to something. And you've done some CLAXI brother, you've

275
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: done a celebrity and frank phone calls you. But the

276
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: beauty of it is that man, you just you were

277
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: able to manipulate you remember when they remember what one

278
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: time they was when they when you couldn't do prank

279
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: phone call. You had to get permission, ridden permission, and

280
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: they tried to shut you down. You figure that out.

281
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: You're not worry about I got this, I got this,

282
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: and it was just you know, but you you didn't

283
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: allow this. You know you you constantly move the needle

284
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: or maintain your brand. And so I take the cadus

285
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: of the thank you and all that, but also get

286
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: back the hard work. When they were when legally it

287
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: was in a position to shut down your prank phone call.

288
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: You push through that and you move hard, move forward,

289
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: and then that leads you to your comedy days. And

290
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: so I'm just letting everybody know that nephew Tommy is

291
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: a brand y'all. Thomas Miles the individual. But nephew Tommy

292
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:02,080

00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: know that two different people, but that brand. I had

296
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: no idea that it was gonna soar to this um

297
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: to put me on on the platform that I'm on. Um,

298
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: you guys gave me an opportunity on the radio and

299
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: we you know, you took a shot at me and

300
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: um and and it worked. The the character itself that

301
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: that whole personna, it worked, and it just started building.

302
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: And the next thing, you know, you know, the whole

303
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: name Thomas Miles had just completely gotten washed away. And

304
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,360

305
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: and and and you know you just start building on it.

306
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: What can I do with it? I don't want to

307
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: just sit on it and not not capitalized on on

308
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: this opportunity I'm working for, you know, um so so

309
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: this is one of the biggest guys in the in

310
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: the business. So I have to figure out how to

311
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: make this work even though I'm underneath his umbrella. How

312
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: do I steal stey about and shine a little bit

313
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,359
Speaker 1: and and make something my own. And I think this, um,

314
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: you know the pranks underneath a few time me going

315
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: out and doing stand up. Uh, you and I did it.

316
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: We did a tour together where you know, I was

317
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: able to really showcase the characters that that all trapped

318
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: inside my head and and and being able to display that.

319
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: But I think it all goes back to we want

320
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: to see this guy, nephew Tommy that we here on

321
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: the radio. We want to see what he has from

322
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: a stand up perspective. So when they came to see me,

323
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: they had no idea what they were gonna get, and

324
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: and to you know, to to set up a show

325
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: the way I did, coming out first giving them five

326
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: minutes off the top, and then in between each comedian

327
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: to give them different characters of of of me. Um,

328
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: I think it was different. I think it was something

329
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: that was very unexpected and that that even strengthened that

330
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: nephew Timmy brands. So, um, you know, as we now

331
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: move forward, just like, Okay, what else can I do? Right?

00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,280

436
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,640

437
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, doing charity engagements and all that stuff, because

438
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: that's the vision, man, because you you know, we all

439
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: sit back, Thomas, because we're both from Houston. And you know,

440
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: you know, your father was an amazing man who always,

441
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, always loved. The fact about your father was

442
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: that you actually live in your father's life. You know,

443
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: he didn't get a chance. You know, he became a

444
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: blue collar worker and he didn't get a chance to

445
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: pursue the entertainment career. Does that ever cross your mind, man,

446
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: that you know, you you was a track star, but

447
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: then you know you were so far away from what

448
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: he was, what his dream was. But now you're living

449
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: his dream. That really is an emotional moment, man, when

450
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: I think about it. You know what, Man, I had

451
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: no idea. You know, I was getting ready to um.

452
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: You know, I did all that. I did track all

453
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: through high school and uh and I also did drama

454
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: all through high school, and I chose the drama scholarship.

455
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: And I actually thought that I disappointed him, that I

456
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: disappointed him by not you didn't run and track, you

457
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: didn't And man, I'm getting ready to uh, getting ready

458
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: to pull out of the drive with him. My mother

00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: This is different. These people in their thirties, forties, some

Speaker 1: taken time to find a relationship, and um, they come

515
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: on Ready to Love. So we start out with twenty singles,

517
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: process of elimination, the powerships back and forth from the

518
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: men to the women. Women eliminate men, men eliminate women.

519
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 1: And it's a ten week journey and at the end

520
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: of that ten weeks we wind up with six people,

521
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: six people, three couples who have hopefully found love. That

522
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: is that's the prize. There is no million dollars, no

523
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: trip around the world. Love is the prize. That's what

00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: tuning in every Friday night on the own network to um.

00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: People get to see what Houston is all about, some

539
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: of the night areas, some of the great locations and

540
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: monumental places in Houston that people don't know about. So,

541
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think sometimes when people think Texas. They

542
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: think we got a horse sitting outside of the house.

543
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: That's not the case. This is a four long le hut,

544
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: the turkey leg hut. So we definitely put the turkey

545
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: leg hut on it. But sure so in all those stuff,

546
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,000

547
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, people those black owned business that we wanted

548
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: to make sure we we gave them the spotlight and

549
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: we did that. So I'm excited about this season. Man. Well,

550
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: you know the thing about it is that you got

551
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: the call from our board, Will Pack, you know who,

552
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: you know, we we we watched him grow to you

553
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that Steve and I was blessed

554
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: to have a relationship on the think like a man,

555
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: want would you appear? And thinking like a man movie?

556
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: And he also did think like a man too, and

557
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: that we all know. That was the lunch for Kevin

558
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: Hart's career. Now was those two movies. So him making

559
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: that phone call to you, he had already known about

560
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: you cash in previous movie. How was the what was

561
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: the thought process of him telling you want to host

562
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: because your stand up you know, so a lot of

563
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: things run through your mind. I'm not gonna be funny.

564
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: What can I do? And so, but you have to

565
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: be almost like a straight shooter in this situation and

566
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: also take these relationships seriously. Talk about that. How you

567
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: have to process that, you know what we're saying. First,

568
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: the first was the phone call. Because my phone call,

569
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: I thought I was being pranked. Only somebody got me,

570
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: you know. But but we'll hit me up and say hey, man,

571
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: I I got something for you. And you know, you

572
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: know how Hollywood is wet. People always say hey, I'm

573
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna have something for you know, I have my people

574
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: call your people. Okay. No, Will called directly and said

575
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: I got something for you, and I was like okay,

576
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: and uh, I was overwhelmed. Man, you know, I get

577
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: teary eyed. I was all emotional. But I was grateful

578
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: that he called me. He said, man, you and your wife,

579
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 1: uh have been together for a long time. This is

580
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: for you. So I had to digest this as how

581
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: do I take this in? Do I take this in

582
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: as as a comedian, because like you're saying, I can't.

583
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: We're not on there cracking jokes when people are really

584
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: seriously trying to find a relationship. So I had to

585
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: find a balance between the two and really, Rishan, if

586
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: you if you think about it, I kind of blended

587
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: Thomas Miles and nephew tim Me together and that's you know,

588
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: you get a new a bit of a little bit

589
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: of a ballots, so both of the boys get the play.

590
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: You know. So you know, everybody knows Thomas Miles is

591
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 1: pretty serious, but if you time me, you know he

592
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: uh he likes to have fun, so a little blend.

593
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: And then of course, um just just just you know,

594
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: a guy that's been married h for a long time,

595
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: even my parents who were married up until the day

596
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: my father left here, I have nothing but that to

597
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: go off of, which is a great mold to look at.

598
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm not I'm not a I'm not

599
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: a person that has a textbook for this. I don't

600
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: have a formula. All I can do is try to

601
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: share with these people that are trying to find love

602
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: what I've gone through and what I've seen my folks

603
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: go through, and give them honest, true advice and that's

604
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: what they like about it. Well, you know, I want

605
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: to close the show in this whole scenario ready to love,

606
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: because you know, I built this character a few times

607
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: with you, and you was able to grow at this

608
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: amazing uh persona that is today. But along the way,

609
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: it was a young lady that we that that loved you.

610
