Speaker 1: executives know and what the executives look at. And you know,

63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,640

67
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: really funny, Chris Brego. You know in the mall, in

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: the mall, what I did Steve Harvard Talk show, Steve Harvard.

69
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: Everybody knows. I managed it for sixteen years. Currently I

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: managed Steven A. Smith. So so so we really would

71
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: really would narrated down just one person you need to

72
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: be you need to be because Barn I don't know.

73
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: I know Baron Ellen from my stand up comedy days,

74
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: and he was there getting great speech and he's on

75
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: the top of the world with his with his where

76
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: he's come from, and so so when I look at

77
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: you as a talent, I did your show, very comfortable show,

78
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: and I was I walked over. My walk away was like, Okay,

79
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: this young man should expand his brand, he should be

80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: bigger than this in this market. But sometimes you can

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: get trapped into a market. Not saying you trapped, but

82
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: you know you want to syndicate, and sometimes deals won't

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: let you syndicate because they have a different vision for you.

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: So what is the ultimate vision for Well, first of all,

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: before before you answer that question, what was your experience

86
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: coming to Nappy? It was for me it exceeded UM

87
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: my wildest expectations for me going into Nappy. I was

88
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: a guy, you know, I go. I come from radio.

89
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: Going into television, I thought I was just doing the

90
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: show on Philly and no one can see it. UM.

91
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: I met a lot of executives there that knew who

92
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: I was, which blew me away. That was number one.

93
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: Number two the information of streaming and o T T

94
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: over the top technology which our industry and television is

95
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: going towards. UM. That that helped me so I said, okay,

96
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: this is where I need to go, and gave me

97
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: the insight of you know, some of the people that

98
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: I work for here at Fox. UM there the vision

99
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: of what television looks like moving forward. So for me,

100
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: it was it was something I wish I would have

101
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: done four or five years ago. But I'm really glad

102
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: I made the last minute decision after I talked to

103
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: you to go to NAPE. Absolutely. NAPPY is the National

104
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Association of Television Program Executives is a professional associative of

105
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: television emergent media executives. And people come down there. They

106
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: have they have seminars, they have panels, and also more important,

107
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: they have buyers buyers of television shows and and also

108
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: they have speakers and who tell you about their experience.

109
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: And it's really is if you how to get any

110
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: television business, I want to get educated by the television business.

111
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: You know, you can buy a day pass, I think

112
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: a day pass just to come by and see the activities,

113
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: like six hundred, six hundred dollars a day just to

114
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: go in and just be able to see the different

115
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: booths and different different lanes of information that are being

116
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: processed while you're down there. And so one of the

117
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: great things with that we got to do is I

118
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: got to really spend some none you know, TV time

119
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: with with Quincy and sit down with him, and we

120
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: we looked over your sizzle reels and and I just

121
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: gave you my level of expert expertise as to why

122
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: this word because he had two different sizzle reels. My

123
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: whole concept was merging as one because that's what I do.

124
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: What I do is I'm able to look at talent,

125
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: and this young man is talented. So now he just

126
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 1: has to make decisions now because and they're tough decisions

127
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: because sometimes you know, I love IBM. I went to

128
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: one of the roads of stand up comic. I went

129
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: to New York, and I went to l A, then

130
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: went from l A back to Houston. And all these

131
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: are life changing decisions because of the fact that has

132
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: is he is Philly the right place for him? M hm,

133
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: that's the decision he has to make now because I

134
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: can easily see him on. I can easily see him

135
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: on you know, entertainment tonight. I can eased to see

136
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: him on. There's so many things I could easily see

137
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: him on, but guess what they're not in Philadelphia. Yeah, exactly,

138
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: as well as as well as emerging technology of other

139
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: shows that we have mentioned that are being on, you know,

140
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: on Roku channels and podcast channels. It's a lot of

141
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: really really cool things. So when I look at the talent,

142
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: like like Quincy Harris, you know, who's basically Philadelphia. You know,

143
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm I gotta wait till he makes that

144
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: decision before I can step in and go, hey man,

145
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: I can do this for you, because certain things you

146
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: can't not do if you're not available consistently for people

147
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: to see you. And that's why I wanted you to

148
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: come down to NAPTI let you know. Here's what people

149
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: know you, my man, way more than you think they

150
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: know you now. Now now they're gonna say, well, yet,

151
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: that's the question you have, that where are you located?

152
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: It so and and the frustration can happen is that

153
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: you can move to l A. You can move up

154
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: to New York and guess what six months later you

155

159
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: Philly my entire life, and then I moved to l

160
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: A with no job. This was in two thousand seven,

161
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: and I landed a radio gig with Big Boy, who's

162
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: syndicated radio hosts out there, and I learned from him

163
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: and I was out there for about almost five years

164
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: and then me coming back home. You know, Um, I

165
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,520

00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, my television show here at Fox, which is

167
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's been a great opportunity. But again, you know,

168
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: you can look at other people's stories and just see like, Okay,

169
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: I need to write my own story. But you also

170
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: have to keep changing and keep reinventing yourself and keep

171
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: um take risk. So I'm yeah, I'm I'm all for it.

Speaker 1: talent like you, Couscy Harris. Now your show The que

197
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,880

198
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: locally on in Philadelphia Fox. We're in our fourth season.

199
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: We've done over six hundred episodes. It's a talk show

200
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: where we have fun. We have comedians come on, we

201
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: have people like yourself come on and inspire the people.

202
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: We have musicians that come on the show. Um, and

203
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, I got into television. I wanted to do

204
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: to TV after watching our Ceneo Hall back in said, man,

205
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: this dude is talking to you know. I will watch

206
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: late night TV. I love David Letterman Late Late Night.

207
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: I love Johnny Carson. But I loved when they had

208
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: people that I love, like rappers on the show, but

209
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: they didn't have them on that often. And then I would, uh,

210
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: I would discover our senior Hall and he would have

211
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: somebody on every night that I loved, you know, And

212
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: I was saying, man, I would love to talk to

213
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: these people. This is what I want to do. So

214
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: when I was twelve years old, I made the decision

215
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: that this was the path I wanted. And and you know,

216
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: now I have the show locally. Now it's time, it's

217
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: time to take a national well you know some really. Um,

218
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: It's interesting because of the fact that I would be

219
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: honest with you. I went to school, I got a

220
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: math degree, and I wanted to be a comedian. I

221
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: want to be the next day to Murfy next with

222
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: your prior. You know, those are my dreams. And then

223
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I'm not even doing no stand

224
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: up now and so that's what So that means that

225
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: when you have to be willing to switch gears, if

226
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: that's not the path that you want to see the

227
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: opportunity it's about. It's about about pursuing the opportunity. And

228
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm an opportunistic person. Now you see me something over there.

229
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: It looks good and it's within my talent. I'm gonna

230
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: go over there. So I know you your family, man,

231
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: So family is very important to you to have that

232
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: balanced life? Is that is? Does does having a family

233
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: life way into your decision making on what you're doing

234
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: with your career or what you're gonna do with your

235
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: career in the future. Uh? It does? It? Really? Like? So,

236
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: I have three sons nine years old, wilterning nine years

237
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: old this year, six years old this year, and a

238
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: five month old. And for me, I cannot I use

239
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: my come for this. I use my kids as a

240
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: a truth parameter. Right. I can't tell my kids to

241
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: go after their dreams if I'm not going after my dreams.

242
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: So I want I want my kids to see how

243
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: relentless I'm going after my dreams. And I want them

244
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: to do the same thing. Like I can't sit back

245
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: on the sideline and say, oh, son, you need to

246
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: go for your dreams if they're not going and I'm

247
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: not going for so it makes it makes me even

248
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: more relentless, uh to go after my dreams. Like other

249
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: people have grown up with that's been uh their kids

250
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: or their family has been a i'm not gonna say, hinderance,

251
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: or it's been an excuse of why you shouldn't go

252
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: after your drinks. For me, it's a total opposite. Now

253
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: it's really important that people understand that when you It's

254
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: really interesting in the word selfishness, Uh, selfish is when

255
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: you really used I think incorrectly. All selfish people are

256
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: tied to success. Just be in fact, I'm a selfish

257
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: person because of the fact that I have to wake

258
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: up one day and go, you know something, this is

259
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: what I want to do. This is and sometimes it

260
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: may it may conflict with the people that you love,

261
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: but you but the part of using correctly as you

262
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: communicate with this is what I have to do. Because look,

263
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: I was at IBM working a very successful job. I

264
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: was writing to tell I was writing on the parenthood.

265
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: I left parent who had to go to our senior

266
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: hall sitcom. I left senior Hall sitcom to go to

267
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: the Sister Sister sitcom. I left the Sister Sister sitcom

268
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: to go to the Jamie fostercom, right, I left it.

269
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: So so I left all these different platforms there were, Hey,

270
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: the shows wasn't canceled. I just left them because guess what,

271
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: I had to do something to build my brand. And

272
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: then when I went to do then when I was

273
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: on radio, I left Steve Harvey, I left. I left

274
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: the Parkers to manage Steve Harvey. And so because Steve said, hey, man,

275
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: look I think we can do great things together. I said, cool,

276
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: I think so too, he said, And I said, let's

277
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: let's gonna make it happen. For sixteen years, we made

278
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: it happen. And so in change, I felt the way

279
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: people perceive African American men or black men on daytime television,

280
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: actually we we we we energize the game show. That's

281
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: why they have their game shows that are all on

282
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: ABC during the summer, is because because we're led by

283
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: family feud and so so when I see African American

284
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: man hosting these shows, I smile because I know you

285
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: have to step out there, you have to make a difference.

286
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: And when I look at the town, like you, Quincy,

287
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: you can do all those things, man, you can be

288
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: you can be an announcer for for Nick Hannah's new show.

289
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: You can be, you can be a guest, you can

290
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: be you can be you can be a game show host,

291
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: you can be a new correspondent on Extra. So it's

292
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: putting all those pieces together. When you are as talented

293
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: as you are, you're a good looking guy at that

294
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: right age, you articulate, you know, you're not afraid to

295
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: ask the questions in a find way or an investigative way. Okay, man,

296
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm putting pressure on you. What's next step for Quincy?

297
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: For me, it's going national. I think, Um, sometimes as

298
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: a talent, you can kind of sabotage yourself. You know exactly, um,

299
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: what the tools are for the next steps. Right. So

300
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: for me, I've been doing everything by myself for a

301
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: couple of different friends here and there. Right, you got

302
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,359
Speaker 1: hamp Now you got help. Now I'm gonna help you. Okay,

303
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: thank you. So I know one, I need an agent,

304
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: um number two, Because I have an agent. You can

305
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: be as challenged as you know anyone, but you need

306
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: someone that's in those rooms knowing about those different opportunities.

307
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two what I had to do

308
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: after I left nappy was say to myself, you are

309
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: indeed ready for the next step. Like it doesn't happen

310
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: until you really say to yourself that you are ready

311
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: for your next step. I'm not saying that right now.

312
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,479
Speaker 1: I'm as polished as Oprah or Steve or the Steve's

313
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: but I know that I'm enough right now to take

314
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: it to the next level. I think that that kind

315
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: of you know, that was like a reconfirmation for myself.

316
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this question. I'm not I'm not

317
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: gonna sit up and tell you something that you're not

318
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: capable of doing. My resume allows me to be able

319
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: to sit up here professionally. Okay, here's a guy, Gabrielle Union.

320
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: I was casting on Sister. Sister. I discovered a many

321
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: talents out there and over the years and giving them advice.

322
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: I've given Kevin Hard advice. I've given a lot of

323
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: Anthony when she was nineteen. I've given a lot of

324
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: tremendous Nick Cannon, a lot of tremendous talents. So when

325
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: I speak, it's there's a brutal understy that comes out.

326
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: That's not brutal because I'm only speaking because for the

327
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: good will of the individual that I'm talking to. And

328
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: when I talk to you, a worry about what people

329
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: think you are a winning ticket, my friend. Now you

330
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: have to get that sizzle real back to me the

331
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: way I asked. Okay, and you know and and and

332
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: then we're gonna work on that media kid that ePK okay,

333
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna sit down and go, what is

334
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: really your point of view? Okay? Because see what happens

335
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: is and when I say that is that I just

336
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: thinkingly know everybody who's successful. I know their point of view.

337
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: I know exactly who Steve Harvey is. I know exactly

338
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: who Stephen A. Smith is, I know exactly who Oprah is.

339
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: I know exactly who Tyler Perry is. And guess what

340
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: they criticize him about the way he does movies and films.

341
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: And here's what he don't stop. He's a billionaire because

342
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: he knows exactly who he's talking to. So so now

343
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: what we have to do is once once we sit

344
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: down and go, okay, Ques, who are you? And he

345
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: might go, nobody's really have a posed that question to me,

346
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: because once you figure out who you are and say,

347
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: we're gonna go when we sit down this is the

348
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: conversation we're gonna happen. We're not gonna bend it. We're

349
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: not gonna bend it, dode. We're not gonna sit in

350
00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: the room and go oh, I like Huntry and Weston too. Hey, hey,

351
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: that ain't dope. Bend, don'te bend. Okay, I get it.

352
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: You know, Kellllick Clarkson is winning because somebody told him, Hey,
