I guess it's I guess 85 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: it's still in thriller thriller type movies. But how do 86 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: you describe? Okay, he made me watch It was actually 87 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: pretty good though split I don't know. It's about a 88 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: multipersonality kind of like suspense. Oh, its ain't necessarily horror, 89 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: but it's on the edge of your seat. 90 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: I probably I probably would like something like that too, Yeah, 91 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 2: but I don't.

I 95 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 2: don't like stuff like that. I didn't like Black Panther. 96 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: I hated that movie. 97 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: Scary movie. 98 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 2: I know what I'm saying. I don't like movies not 99 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: kind of like realistic. So there was waste of time 100 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: for me. 101 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: Oh okay, so you like okay, so you rather be 102 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: realistic about somebody coming through and chopping off heads in 103 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Freddy Kruger, is that realistic 104 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: popping up in the d. 105 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 2: But that's a human actually killing somebody, that's actually really 106 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: that's realistic. But that pat and stuff that's not realistic. 107 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: What about Freddy Krueger. 108 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: I don't like Freddy Coueger moves. 109 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: And it's because it's not realistic. 110 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's way over the top for me. 111 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, interesting, Well what do you I definitely learned 112 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: something tonight.

He told me 134 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: I did not want to watch straw because I saw 135 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: the feedback about the trauma. And you know, Tyler Perry 136 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: go again is always you know, black woman on welfare, 137 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: struggling to make it through, just nothing That wasn't why 138 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: I didn't want to watch it. I just seen it 139 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: before and I'm like, well, whatever, we'll see. You know. 140 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: It's not like something I'm like, oh I must go 141 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: see even though I love Tarj Binson. It was just like, 142 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: no big deal. I could hit or miss it. And 143 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: then was that what it really was? 144 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: That what it really was about though black woman on Welfare? 145 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: Well, yes she was going through it, you know, And 146 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna kind of break that down. But what's 147 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: bothering me now in my activist stage of life is 148 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: these types of movies but not giving people solutions. And 149 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: I know, you know, people say that's not what movies 150 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: are for, but I feel it is a huge waste 151 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: to not you know, when Tyler Perry is saying I'm 152 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: doing these movies because you know, they was all on 153 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: his ass. I don't know if you saw them. So 154 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: they was always like Tyler Perry, we see of these movies, 155 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: we this, we dad. That's why people love the movie, 156 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: the series forever on Netflix. People want to feel good, 157 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: they want to see good black stories, and they getting 158 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: tired of, you know, Tyler Perry these stories. And so 159 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: you know his answer was I got to show every 160 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: part of life and people, you know, black women go 161 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: through this, which is really true. Yeah, but what I 162 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: find out is it is true. But then what's the 163 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: next step. So what bothers me is at least people 164 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: hopeless with nothing after to say, Okay, how do we 165 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: fix this? And it is a wasted opportunity to me 166 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: for black filmmakers. You don't have to do it in 167 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: the movie. But like I've told my friend Deon Taylor, 168 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: who does movies, he always has a message in it somewhere. 169 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: Why not host some talkbacks on after the movie, you know, 170 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: some zooms. I'll be happy to host them. Everybody ain't 171 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: gonna come in because everybody don want to fix the problem, 172 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: but it would It would be a beautiful thing to 173 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: talk about, like what you missed in the movie and 174 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: how you can fix it, even centers, even any any movie, 175 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: there's something about it that we can learn from on 176 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: how to change our community. So they do these movies 177 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: myself and they say it's a spark community conversation. It's 178 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: a spark involved in Yet it is, but there's also 179 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: a big missing piece between actually pointing out what was 180 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: in the movie and how you can literally fix it, 181 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: so that way you're not sitting around saying, damn, it's 182 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: just another movie that got me feeling hopeless. I feel 183 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: the same way when people say, oh, yeah, I can't 184 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: watch a police brutality because oh I can't do it. 185 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: It's so traumatic, so traumatic, but you don't. But it 186 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: never calls you. The action so traumatic that you don't 187 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: you're so devastated to the point where you just keep 188 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: your head in the sand. I'm not really buying the devastation. 189 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: So is it because you don't know what to do 190 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: or you just want to use an excuse on not 191 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: doing anything at all, so putting it out there to me, 192 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: I would love for more of that to happen. So 193 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: I said I'm gonna do it myself on this one 194 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: particular movie, my twenty people to listen to me. Hey, 195 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: you'll get the information after that, because I tagged and 196 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: everybody like, oh man, that'd be great and tylor pair 197 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: do that. But they're not gonna do that, be honest. 198 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: Their money is made off the trauma and keeping people 199 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: coming back for the trauma. Somebody even said that, well, 200 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: they're not gonna fix it, because if they fix it, 201 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: they're not gonna have income, Well, let me give you 202 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: breaking news, tile of pair and everybody else. You're never 203 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: gonna fix it all, So you still can make money 204 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: off the trauma. But why not give another counter, Why 205 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: not give adds something else in the mix. Why not 206 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: for those who say, you know what, I'm sick of 207 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: your traumatic movies. But at least you do this and 208 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: I'll continue to support you. So it's nothing but a win. 209 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,719 Speaker 1: And by chance we might actually fix some shit. And 210 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: it's always gonna be bullshit. You never have to worry 211 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: about that, which is why I tell people in politics, well, damn, 212 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: don't say that I never get fixed. The goal is, 213 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: it's not ever gonna get fixed. It's always gonna be 214 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: a problem always. No relationship is ever perfect, and soul 215 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: is our relationship with America. It's always gonna be work 216 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: for you to do. You want things to get better, 217 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: you want progress, There's always gonna be something. So if 218 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: you're getting into this thinking, well, it ain't never fixed, 219 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: it ain't no point. What's the point. You're in the 220 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: wrong business, the wrong business. 221 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 2: So he probably well you may have already said it, 222 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: but I think because they've been criticizing him for a long, long, 223 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: long time. 224 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: About He's louder and louder, though. 225 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: Right here it's redundant. You know movies. I actually do 226 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 2: kind of like you know, his movies, but I have 227 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 2: been watching lately because I do feel like they are 228 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: kind of like the same. But I feel like he 229 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: he probably just keep doing it because people keep going 230 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 2: to go see it. So I was like, what's the purpose. 231 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: He knows his customer and people ain't got to watch it. 232 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: You don't have to watch it. You don't have to 233 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: support it, just like you ain't got to listen to 234 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: show if you don't support it. I just because I 235 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: watched it, I was I am compelled to talk about 236 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about now because I cannot watch a 237 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: movie full of problems and I tell you what the 238 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: problem was in the solution. So it's totally fine. I'm 239 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: totally fine with being over by myself on this island. 240 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: They ain't got to do it, and that. 241 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: Do you think it could possibly be too that he's 242 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: if you Yeah, I noticed that now that we're seeing 243 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: talking about his his issue is usually about black women. 244 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: But he's a black man, so how can he even 245 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: talk about. 246 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: Well, it's his experience. His mother's his grandmother. You know, 247 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: he grew up with women, so he's he's making voice 248 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: so you can see what we go through. I get that. 249 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter like what he's saying is valid. I'm 250 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: just saying I can't sit up and watch nothing when 251 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: I can identify non policies right after Gate that I 252 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: know people don't know about. And that's what this show 253 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: is about. 254 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: Oh, because that's what I say here, black man, he goes, 255 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: how can he even talk about a solution for the 256 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 2: black women? 257 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: He ain't talking that solutions at all. So that's the 258 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: point he's showing the story. The story is accurate. A 259 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: lot of people said, I mean, every black woman don't 260 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: have the same story. So just being a black woman 261 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: don't mean you know her struggle lither I should don't 262 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: know the struggle. Love what that movie was about, but 263 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: it was very realistic to me, or even when Funky 264 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: I need it was like, ain't that much bad gonna happen? 265 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: One day? Actually it has, Actually it really has. Actually 266 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: people have really lost their job and needed to go 267 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: to the school and something happened with their kid and 268 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: then on the way got in a car wreck, like 269 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: you know, it was back to back, you know, things 270 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: that was happening back to back, and that is very real. 271 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: Like movie precious people sit there that ain't really happen 272 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: like that. But I know from that to. 273 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: You it didn't happen. Well you know, right, yeah, it happens. 274 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: It happened. Oh that's not just a black woman like 275 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: Quentin said that don't happen. Well, you've never been a 276 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: black woman with a single mom, so you don't know. 277 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: But then there's also single moms that never had to 278 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: go through that, so everybody's lived experience is different. What 279 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: happened was real. I just can't sit up here and 280 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: watch it and not identify the policies. And that's what 281 00:14:49,960 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: I want to go through, guys, right off the and 282 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: if the movie, if this is a spoiler, it's just 283 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: a spoiler. You know, it is what it is. I 284 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: said I was gonna do this episode, so I want 285 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: to do it right off the bat. You notice, and 286 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give an overview. I can go deeper, you know, 287 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: later on if this is something more that you want. 288 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: But I just kind of want to go right off 289 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: the bat, Right off the bat. She woke up in 290 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: the house in her apartment, loud music, you know, had 291 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: no so say and you know, turn the music down. 292 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: Any of that went to a car. Was short on 293 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: the rent. Now I'm not going to give every piece 294 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: of it, but I just want to, you know, point out, 295 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, some things right out the gate. She was 296 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: short on the rent. Well number one. I don't know 297 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: if you remember, but maybe last month I posted what's 298 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: about to happen with rental assistants next year? Right now 299 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: this positive they're working on what Trump is proposing to 300 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: severely reduce rental assistant I did a whole commentary on 301 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: they guys, go watch it on Remote News. It doesn't 302 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: go anywhere. Put in tes some figure rental assistant. It's 303 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: on my page. Google it, try to look for it. 304 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: Look at what I broke down in rental assistance. So 305 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: if you think is bad now because she could not 306 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: afford it, these programs that can help you stay in 307 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: your home, that can whether it's through I'm not talking 308 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: about just Section eight. It could be a church, it 309 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: could be one of the people that stay in my homes, Marcella's. 310 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: They contact every now and then in the church helps 311 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: and what they rent, they pay the difference. Some months, 312 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: they just don't have the difference. So not only is 313 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: Section eight being wiped out, also organizations and I wiped 314 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: out completely, but going to be severely reduced. Organizations that 315 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: have been able to help people like this character that 316 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: is also being reduced because they're stopping the grants. So 317 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: while you guys are not paying attention, if you are 318 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: bothered by the fact that she wasn't able to pay rent, 319 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: and that was the first thing out the top of 320 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: the movie, you need to pay attention to what's happening 321 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: with realists. That's policy number one. Policy number two healthcare reform. 322 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: The little girl was on medication. She had problems, you know, 323 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: she had to eat once a day, could not get 324 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: food at the school. She didn't have the forty dollars 325 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: the food. Let's talk about the policy. This has happened 326 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: guys in real time this year reducing free lunch. That 327 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: has been fairly reduced. So one of the key things 328 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: with the school was she didn't have forty dollars for 329 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: the baby's lunch, and the baby had to eat in 330 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: order to take her medication or the people, the kids 331 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: will start making fun of her. She would have seizures. 332 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: It's a real thing. Medicare right now, Medicaid right now 333 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: is being severely reduced. They're arguing about that right now. 334 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: So if she doesn't have the forty dollars, you know, 335 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: damn well, she you're gonna have the money to pay 336 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: for the medicine on her own. Again, these are policies 337 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: if you're bothered by that movie. These are the things 338 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: that you need to look at. Banking while black. When 339 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: she went into the bank and they didn't want to 340 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: cash the check because she didn't have her ID. Now 341 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: this is not verbatim. I'm just giving you overall things 342 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: you need to think about. In the movie Sybil that 343 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: I was in or to turn a ben jam Crump, 344 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: one of the cases was banking while black, them not 345 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: wanting to cash her check, didn't think it was hers, 346 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 1: and she ended up suing the bank one of course, 347 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: but that is a real thing. Now, of course, you 348 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: need your ID. I'm not saying you don't need your 349 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: i D. I'm just wanting you guys to know there's 350 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: a real issue with discrimination banking, you know, being black, 351 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: all those things. She ended up pulling a gun on 352 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: them when she was like, you know, me, I just 353 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: need you to cash my check for twenty fifty dollars 354 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: so I can get the forty dollars back up to 355 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: my school, my baby's school. They knew it from across 356 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: the street. But again, had it been a white woman 357 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: that they knew, they came in every week, you know, 358 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: knew it was her, do you think the likelihood of 359 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: them cashing the check would have happened? Probably so. 360 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 361 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: So that's what we call banking while black. Again, if 362 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: you're bothered by the movies, these are the type of 363 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: policies I want you to look into police brutality. Right 364 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: after Gate, that was obvious with the white officer that 365 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 1: was saying, who ran her off the road? And again 366 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go through all the details of the movie. 367 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: You need to watch the movie, but I'm mainly focused 368 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: on the policy ran her off the road. Then when 369 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: he ran her off the rod pulled a gun on it, saying, 370 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure I'm gonna find a reason illegally 371 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: blow your head off. While he said that, the other 372 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: cop saw, well, Marcella's there's a law by the name 373 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: Carol Horn, former police officer, called the Carroll Horn Law. 374 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: Police Act that requires the duty to intervene. We also 375 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: saw this with the George Floyd matter, pushing policy to 376 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: say when should another officer intervene when they know something 377 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: is going wrong. That's the overall gist of it. But 378 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: you need to go look at the law and understand 379 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. My point is there's laws on the 380 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: books for that. That's not in every city, in every state. 381 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: You need to look into that. See if you have 382 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: a duty to intervene, see what that is. If you 383 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: do not have a duty to intervene, that can be 384 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: policy you can work on. This will mean when we 385 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: said police reformed policies, one of those is duty to intervene. 386 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: The law. 387 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: The woman in the inn in the movie did not 388 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: do that. Towards the end, she finally said what happened, 389 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: but there was no consequence for her not saying what happened. 390 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: And if you watch the movie, you'll see how Taharjie 391 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: refuse to come out of the bank because that officer 392 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: was out there and he already told her I'm gonna 393 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: blow your head off. I'm gonna find a reason to 394 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: blow your head off, and that's why she ended up 395 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: keeping those people hostage because she knew he was gonna 396 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: kill her. Had duty to intervene been in place when 397 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: he first said that, and the officer reported him. He 398 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: would have never been outside the bank for her to 399 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: hold anybody hostage. Does that make sense? You gotta watch 400 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: the movie to see how it all comes together. But 401 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: these are the policies I want you to pay attention to. 402 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: When she wasn't paid her check on time, when she 403 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: went to her when she was fired and he said, 404 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: get the check in the there's something called the Fair 405 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: Labor Standards Act. How he was treating her not giving 406 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: a check, give or want to playing all them games 407 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: with a check. He ended up getting his ass shot 408 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: because he was being robbed and she really needed her 409 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: money again, people snapped, See straw was all about the 410 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: straw that broke the camel's back, having so much put 411 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: on her that she just went off. Got to watch 412 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: the movie so it'd all come together. But I want 413 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: you to know that you're having problems on the job 414 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: on how people are paying you, not paying your time. 415 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: This is why Marcella's is a big union advocate. Seriously, 416 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: all Joe side, no laughing matter. Unions matter. Go see 417 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: this movie, you'll see all type of union call. You 418 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: know why we need unions, Why people need representation, why 419 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: their bosses bully them, why they can't so that you 420 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: can have voice. Because when you have their job that 421 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: you need and you cannot afford to lose it, people 422 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: are quiet. They take abuse, they don't have to take 423 00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: for it. This why unions are important. Another issue, because 424 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: some of this had lost. Some of this as policy 425 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: taking her baby away because they assume that she hurt 426 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: herself when really she just fell in the tub. Again, 427 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 1: Children and Family services issues, the misuse of that, not 428 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: going through due process, not giving people a chance to 429 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: make their case. I was a garden at Lineum in Florida. 430 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 1: These are real things, guys. If you were bothered by that, 431 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: look into that, see what motivated you about that, and 432 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: get involved. Mental health obviously was a big one to 433 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: harderp Hinton in real life pushes mental health. She partners 434 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: a lot with Charlemagne on that. The strata brough of 435 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: Camel's Back was about her mental health. If you watch 436 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: the movie and wait till the end, you'll see that 437 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: really she lost her mind, her child was died, and 438 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: the whole time she was thinking the child was alive 439 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: when she was not, because she lost her mind. My 440 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: book Kitty's Litter is about something very similar, not the 441 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: same thing, but a woman who had been subject to 442 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: so much trauma that she lost her mind. She was 443 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 1: speaking to invisible people on all of that Kitty's Litter. 444 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: Although it's a fiction book, which is why I was 445 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: compelled to do this, because I believe in taking fiction 446 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: stories and showing you, you know, the real side of it. 447 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: And in that book, and you'll see that as I 448 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: unroll it and put it on the screen, Because in 449 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: my movies, you are gonna learn something from it. It's 450 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: gonna be fiction, but you're gonna absolute learn something from it. 451 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that I talk about, 452 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: the mental health and how all that happens in the book, 453 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: how the money was misused. Go read Kitty's Litter one 454 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: and two. But as you continue to watch the book, 455 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm not going to put another book out. I'm taking 456 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: it to the screen. It will make sense on mental 457 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: health and what we can do for that. And so 458 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: that was a heavy, heavy part of her mental health. Basically, 459 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: when her child died, she lost her mind. So you 460 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: watch the movie. You should be watching this app You 461 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: shouldn't be listening to this podcast after you've seen the 462 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: movie so it can make sense. But if not, go 463 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: watch it and you'll see from the beginning to the 464 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: end on why this makes sense and why having mental 465 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: health resources are important while you're trying to work that 466 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: job that's mission treating you, while you're trying to take 467 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: care of that child, while you're trying to get those things, 468 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: because without having those resources, when something happens, you lose 469 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: it all. And it's how people become drug addicts, it's 470 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: how people become alcohol These are the things my own 471 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: personal story, my dad lost everything, when my brother died, 472 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: lost everything. I have a cousin right now, it's never 473 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: been the same after her son was murdered. It really 474 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: does happen. So not having access to those resources makes 475 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: a difference. And then finally, community policing. You've seen some 476 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: folks of y'all main scene they've been doing TikTok Tiana 477 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: Taylor and how she was walking and being a police 478 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: officer and all of that. Well, guys, community policing is 479 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: huge and important's politically push for all the time to 480 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: have not just officers that look like us, but know 481 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: our story. When you watch the movie, you'll see Tiana 482 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: Taylor was saying, I know you. They did not. They said, 483 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: let's not let the FBI talk her out of it. 484 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: Let's let Tiana her character. Because she said, I know her, 485 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: I've been that mother. I understand. She was able to talk, 486 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: able to talk to Argie's character, you know, out the building, 487 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: because she knew her. She believed her because she knew 488 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: what that story was. She knew what it was to 489 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: lose at all. She knew what it was to be 490 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: a mother. She knew what it was to not have 491 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: the money. That's why, that's what we mean when we 492 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: say community policing. Knowing me, knowing my story, being familiar, 493 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: saying something about this ain't right, not just taking a 494 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: word for it and saying, oh, she murdered him, he 495 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: did this, Let's blow her head off. Community policing was 496 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: the biggest impact overall, was one of the biggest on 497 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: why this movie turned out the way that it did 498 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: because having an officer that could relate, but it also 499 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: took her supervisor telling the FBI stand down, Let's let 500 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: Tianna do it. All of that is important, so Guys, 501 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: I just wanted to break down to you the things 502 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: that I saw off top that are important that I 503 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: think you should look into. It's not a apples apples verbatim. 504 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: Don't email me saying well, technically you said this, but 505 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: really is it critical thinking skills. I'm giving you things 506 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: to look at overall, broadly on the area, on where 507 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: to find it, and then to dig deeper. Does that 508 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: make sense marcellos? Or if I'm saying you are motivated 509 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: by you didn't like her child being taken away, I'm 510 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: telling you go look and see where you can get 511 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: active in child and family services, not telling you verbatim, shoot, 512 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: the child been taking away, not taking away. Just relax. 513 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm giving you the area and a point to to say, hey, 514 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,479 Speaker 1: this is what this looks like. This is what that 515 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: looks like. Those were the nine that I just set there, 516 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: literally and off the top of my head that I 517 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: could not even it was even getting on this nerve 518 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: because I kept stopping it because I was wanting to write, 519 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: you know, the stuff down while I was watching in 520 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: real time, and he said just enjoy the movie, and 521 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: I told hm, I can't enjoy the movie without knowing 522 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to give people solutions. That's how I operate. 523 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: I cannot watch this movie full of trauma and not 524 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: give somebody the solution so that they don't remain hopeless. 525 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,239 Speaker 1: So those are the things, guys. If you want more 526 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: of this, let me know, happy to do webinars on 527 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: more policy that you think is important. You don't want 528 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: to waste your time, don't want to bore you. But 529 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: I did owe you this. I owe it to myself. 530 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: I owe it to every single mother that's done the 531 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: heavy lifting. I don't call myself a single mom because 532 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: to me, the racist Jada's dad. But I do say 533 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm a mother that has done the primary heavy lifting, 534 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: meaning he lived out of state. I don't say single 535 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: because I'm actually a divorce mom, and there's a stigma. 536 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: There's already a stigma with single moms having babies without 537 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: a wedlock. Didn't do no planning, Daddy ain't nowhere around, 538 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: you know so, and that's not the case. So I'm 539 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: very clear to say I'm a divorce mom with a 540 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: active father in my child's life, present, physically, financially, all 541 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: of that. But there was a time where we lived 542 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: in two different states because his job took him in 543 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: an estate. So I was doing the heavy lifting and 544 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: I know how hard that can be, and I thank 545 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: God for it because it allowed me to walk in 546 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: the shoes and not just speak from a distance. Yeah, 547 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: it's one thing to say, all those shoes look really nice, 548 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: and then you put them on and you realize they're 549 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: cut small. They're made small. Jessica Simpson shoes, I'll use 550 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: that example. All the shoes are really nice. I can 551 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: wear seven and a half in a Steve Mann, but 552 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: I cannot in a Jessica Simpson because Jessica Simpson is 553 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: seven and a half. It's too small for me. So 554 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: that means that all shoes are not the same. Even 555 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: if it's the same size, even it looks like it's 556 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: the same, the walk is not the same. So it's 557 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: very important that you get that, that you understand that, 558 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: and as you watch this movie, have compassion because just 559 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: because it's not rid of you don't mean it ain't 560 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: rid of somebody else. And if you are motivated by it, 561 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: try to tap into one of those nine things. This 562 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: your girl tells them, figure out if this move you, 563 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: let me know, I'm happy to do webinars to go deeper. 564 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: But I did want to give you that to do 565 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: my part. Whether Tyler Perry ever does it or not, 566 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: whether Deon Taylor ever do it or not, I am 567 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: always gonna do what I'm supposed to do myselves because 568 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: guess what, Like I always say, at the end of 569 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: the day, when it's time to get called home, the 570 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: question is gonna be asked, did you do it? And 571 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to say, well, Tyler Perry 572 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: never reached out, he said he want to do it. 573 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: I did it. I gave information. Hey lord, I checked 574 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: it off. Usually lose it, can't make you choose it. 575 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: I've done my part and that's all the matter. Like 576 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: I always said, it's not about we, it's about. 577 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: What marcellas me. 578 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: I'm doing my part and that's it. That's all ilu. 579 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: I ain't going crazy about it. I ain't trying to 580 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: get you. Why don't do it? He don't want to 581 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: because this ain't about fame to me saying about cloud chasing, 582 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: it ain't about being seen. It's about checking off the box. 583 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: Hey lord, I did what you told me to do. 584 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: I did what you compel me to do.
