Y'all, If they listen to Marcus, there would 180 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: be no serious because Marcus don't ever want to go 181 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: in the house. Marcus, he wants to investigate outside. He 182 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't investigate our right, So so they don't listen to 183 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: Marcus when they start putting together the show. Not now 184 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: they let get you killed. The Dayland will get you 185 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: killed and you don't even know why you did. And 186 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: so well we all know that arrived. I like that. 187 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: But so now we moved on to the whole new 188 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: platform and this podcast successful series. Uh, three black men 189 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: chasing ghosts already, that's a reach, you know in the 190 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: world of reality in the black community. You know, white 191 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: both have been changing ghosts for years. You know that 192 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: Black people, you know, we knew about voodoo, we know 193 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: about Luigi Board, but we never really admitted to ghosts. 194 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: How did y'all break that wall? And I can go 195 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: with each one you guys going starwards, Juan, how did 196 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: you break that wall? Because Dayla came with the idea 197 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: that y'all could be successful, and y'all are very successful 198 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: in this paranormal format. Yeah, honestly, we just we I 199 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: think we leaned on the fact that we were ignorant, 200 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: so like we really didn't know what we were getting into, 201 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I think that allowed 202 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: us to just continue through this journey and try out 203 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 1: new things and then you learn along the way they're like, yo, 204 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: you might not want to be playing with this, right. 205 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: I think that like our like ignorance was bliss in 206 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: that moment and it and it worked out for us. 207 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: I also think that we um utilize each other in 208 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: our relationships. Like I think we're extremely comfortable with each other, 209 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: and we were already brothers, so it's easy for us 210 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: to kind of be vulnerable in particular moments that you know, 211 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: we weren't used to, so that allowed us to kind 212 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: of like high the fact that we were kind of 213 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: fearful or not knowing what we were doing. Absolutely now now, Dylan, 214 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: the whole concept of ten episodes and each episode is 215 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: tied to an urban legend or myth what built that 216 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: concept out, which which is totally different from what you 217 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: guys are doing on your series, But I love it. 218 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: I love the fact that you're focused on one per episode. 219 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: It's not all over the place, so when people come 220 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: to the table, it's set up and you get people 221 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: engage with the way you guys do your research and 222 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: how you interview people, y'all really do do y'all do 223 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: a fantastic job or the producers as well. I don't 224 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: want to give you guys credit because you gotta have 225 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: a team to get there of setting up their story 226 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: and making it very entertaining. Talk about the whole process 227 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: with your podcast. Yeah, man, it it's it's a different 228 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: form of media with it just being just us talking, 229 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: but it's dope because it's still in the same vein. 230 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: So with us hunting ghosts, we literally go all over 231 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: the country from state to state, chasing all these parents 232 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: on the stories. But in doing so, we realize that 233 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: literally every state has its own specific urban legend, which 234 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: is cool, which is totally different from your typical ghost stories, 235 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: right because now we're breaking into the ideas of things 236 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: like Chooper Cabra or the cry Baby Bridge, or even 237 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: like Jelly the New Jersey Devil or Candy Man, like 238 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: literally all these wild claims that have been circulating around 239 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: the country for years. We get to seriously just to explore, 240 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: but from the comfort of a studio.

And he complains about the cold, he 333 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: complains about doing it at night, he complains about everything. 334 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: But it's all the reality of how you would think. 335 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: That's why I like the serious because see, I don't 336 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: tell people if you're saying something I'm thinking, then guess 337 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: what you got me? And so so Marcus is that 338 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: one guy that kind of like throws all that logic 339 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: into the such situation. Did you have, Daylon, He's there, 340 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: he said, intuitive guy he's that invest in your why 341 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: we He wants to get to the truth. But Jawad's 342 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: character is always tied to if you're gonna get you 343 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: the truth, let's apply facts to it. Let's just some 344 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: barge into the situation without understanding the full rapifications of 345 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: the journey. Now Daylyn with me saying all that, was 346 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: that the perspective that you wanted the serious to be about, 347 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: or just developed that way, you know what, It's a 348 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: little bit of both, to be honest, because we're genuinely 349 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: all three really close friends. It's not like most reality 350 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: television that are scripted and you bring it together a 351 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: cast of people and you force these relationships. So we've 352 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: been hanging around together for twenty years, so we each 353 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: have our own distinct personalities, which you know, in effect 354 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 1: makes us friends. So we kind of already fall into 355 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: those separate categories just in our day to day friendships. Anyway, 356 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: and when it was time to cast the show and 357 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: put the show together, you know what I mean, those friendships, 358 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: those levels of relationships just shine through with the cast, 359 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: like we didn't even have to interview any more people, 360 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: Like it was literally just us three and everybody who 361 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: was like, oh well, Marcus is funny, you know, Dylan 362 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: is daring, and ju One has that level of factual 363 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: intelligence that we want and like we care about. It 364 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: was like we all had the same you know, we 365 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,959 Speaker 1: have those three different personalities. And if you look at 366 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: reality TV, like a lot of reality shows, it's all 367 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: the same type of personality archetypes. It's only like ten 368 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: or eleven that make it onto reality TV, and you 369 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: just so happen, you know, we just so happen to 370 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: fall into three of those category. Story Now, it's interesting 371 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: thing because I know that you know, Marcus gave me 372 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: the cliff Notes version of your podcast.

Okay, now, Joan, how 383 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: did y'all come up with these ten different podcasts myths? 384 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: So the ten it started with the honestly, we knew 385 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: about a few of them, right, Like there's all there's 386 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: there's something that are more notorious than others like candy Man. 387 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: You have Bloody Mary, uh Trooper, Cobra, Craybaby Bridge, but 388 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: then you have others like slender Man, moth Man that 389 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: you we had to scour the internet and ask people 390 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: like we we asked people to give us their interesting 391 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: encounters with urban legends, right, and we allow them to 392 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: be guests on the show. And then like we have 393 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: our honest feedback from those particular subject matters. So we 394 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: reached out to you know, the paranormal community and and 395 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: and found some new information and did our research to 396 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: kind of get some of these other these broad topics 397 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: because I mean, in my honest opinion, I didn't know, 398 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: Like there's a couple that I didn't know, right, and 399 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: I had to really learn. I'm talking to the Ghost 400 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: Brothers as Dalen, Joan and Marcus that have new podcast 401 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: series that will have just ten episodes to talk about 402 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: stories and what's exciting about the scary aspect of what 403 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: listeners want to hear when it comes to this whole 404 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: ghost Paranora world. That the episodes are available on apples, Spotify, 405 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: or whether you can get your podcasts now. Like I said, 406 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: I know about Candy Man, So I'm not gonna claim 407 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: to be an expert, but I always knew about Candy Man. 408 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: In fact, the movie just came out and was number 409 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: one at the box office. But I always felt like 410 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: I knew. You know, the Luigi board I grew up, 411 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: you know, put your hands and fingers on the Wegia 412 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: board and it's supposed to take you to each letter. 413 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: And I'm at one time we said a where's our daddy? 414 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: You know it's bearer board, black folks, that the Wegia board. 415 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: I'm telling my fam we have no money, but we 416 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: had that Wegia board. Okay. And so so when you 417 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: talk about myths the Candy Man, you know, saying his name, 418 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: isn't that the terror in it is or the fear 419 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: is that it could actually happen? You know, you know 420 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: it isn't that the real fear of Dayla that you know, 421 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe, but I'm not crazy enough to find 422 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: if it's really gonna happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's 423 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: exactly the like the whole heartedly true. Anytime there's horror involved, 424 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: it's that small element of realism that drives people over 425 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: the edge. And I think that's when a lot of 426 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: like horror and scary paranormal stuff missed these days. That's 427 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: the difference from like your old movies like Candy Man, 428 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: or It's or like You and Me, all those great 429 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: Jason's and there was always that small level of like 430 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: realism or like or could it be couldn't this actually 431 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: happen that actually pushes people over the edge. And yeah, 432 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: I think we still live in that same level of curiosity, 433 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: and that's what works. I'll be a changeing man. Fears, 434 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: fear and darkness is like you don't want them to 435 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: enter the room. At the same time, you know, you 436 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: don't want to look under your bed, you know what 437 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying, because somebody might look up at you, look 438 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: at you with eyeball. You want to look out of 439 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: your bench, try looking back at you. You know you 440 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: don't want to look in the car to your bedroom 441 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: and it's just dark, you know what I'm saying, And 442 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: you don't have no blanket you have. The blanket is 443 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: like the ultimate protector when you're afraid. You know itally 444 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: proven on Mars.

But it was 660 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: a really kind of inspiring conversation and and he was 661 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: just very open and shared um a lot of his 662 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 1: experiences with me, and I really just started to see 663 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: this canvas, if you will, that would allow me to 664 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: um take elements of his life and bringing other elements, um, 665 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: some elements from my life, from my kids and sort 666 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: of things we pulled into research and just just tell 667 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: a story that we felt could be really meaningful, um, 668 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: A story about not just basketball, but growing up in 669 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: America or teen life in America, which is a brilliant 670 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: portory by the actors that you brought into this, which 671 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 1: really which were in the music that plays a major 672 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: role in what you're doing here. Now let's talk about 673 00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: the young star Isaiah Isaiah, he'll correctly plays James Carson. Now, 674 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: I've been fortunate to sit down with Kevin Durant and 675 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 1: he has a this young man. You seem to have 676 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 1: captured Kevin Durant's personality or temperament in this character. Am 677 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: I wrong in saying that? But it really did kind 678 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: of resonate to the personality of life sotock because Kevin 679 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: was raised by a single mom in a basketball cynthric 680 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 1: world is set in Washington, d C. What Kevin Durant 681 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: is from talk about that. Yeah. I mean, look, I 682 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: think there were a couple of things, you know, I 683 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 1: was really looking for. And I mean this is such 684 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:39,399 Speaker 1: a complicated character. You know. Number one, the dude's gotta 685 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: be athletic, and so we you know, we have this 686 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: huge casting search and this kid comes in who's not 687 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: just like Donking, like just tipping it in. He's like 688 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: throwing it back and you know, slamming it. Um. But 689 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: then the other thing too was you know, he was 690 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: talented and and so we um really it was just 691 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: like blown away to be able to find someone who 692 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: has acting chops and basketball chops all in wine. It 693 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: was was was a gift. And I think that you know, um, 694 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: you know, k D felt challenged to prove that he was, 695 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, like this this top player that he that 696 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: that that he was, and you know, all great athletes, 697 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: you know, feel like they have something to prove, you know. 698 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 1: The real life Isaiah felt that as well. You know, 699 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 1: I mean he's played basketball, he understands those challenges, He's 700 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 1: had his bumps, and so he I think he was 701 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: just able to bring that forward and and when he 702 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: played out you know lovely on screen, we're talked to 703 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: an incredible writer, producers, show running of the new series 704 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: on Apple TV plus Swagger. Uh, Reggie Rocket Bythewood. The 705 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 1: series is an incredible force as far as teen drama, training, romance, Uh, 706 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: coming of age. Uh. This young man we're talking about Isaiah, 707 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: his character plays and he plays the character James Carson, 708 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: the fourteen year old megastar. I could relate this a 709 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: little bit of my personal life because my nephew, he 710 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: had a couple of songs, and I remember he was 711 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: we were tracking him at eighth grade, ninth grade. You know, 712 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: his son was the top point guard in Texas, you know, 713 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 1: And it's so the other song was a top small forward. 714 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: So I know the reality of this, But that what 715 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: I loved about it was how Reggie how is how 716 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: are you incorporating how the world of social media something 717 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: that the real Kevin Durant really didn't have to deal 718 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: with that this kid has to deal with on a 719 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 1: regular basis, incorporating that real lifestyle activity, how you can 720 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: be how your life is changed by a poast? Correct? Yeah, 721 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 1: I mean social media became his other director in our narrative, 722 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: and and so I mean it's just authentic to the 723 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: way um, people in this age group relate to each other. 724 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: You know, yes, you know, and and as we know, 725 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 1: they are great positives with it and great negatives with it. 726 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: And and as you as you mentioned, like, yeah, this 727 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,280 Speaker 1: is a drama that does focus a lot on teens, 728 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: but it's also like really really aspiring to give a 729 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: view from every seat in the house, you know, so 730 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: that we deal with fatherhood, we deal with coaching, we 731 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: deal with parent hood, and so I think that you know, 732 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 1: if you're if you're a mom, if you're a coach, 733 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 1: if you're a dad, um, if you're a child, like, 734 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: there's something that's going to pull it you emotionally.

But you know, on a whole other level, man, 770 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: you know, um, a lot of times we pushed our kids. Yes, 771 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: sometimes we have to. And you know, if we do 772 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: it wrong, it's a negative, and if we do it right, 773 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: it's a positive. Right. I know, my daughter was a 774 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,800 Speaker 1: tennis prodigy, you know, my my wife she was. She 775 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: was really a lot more aggressive than I was, which 776 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: is our role. We all play roles as parents, you know. 777 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: And I always felt my daughter was talented at it 778 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: what she did, but that wasn't what she wanted to do. 779 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,439 Speaker 1: Now she's in the typewando and and I told my wife, 780 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: don't be disappointed if that's not what she wants to do, 781 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: that's not her end game. You know, she blew out 782 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: her knee when she was nateen and she asked me 783 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 1: that she wanted to go to college, because you go 784 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 1: to college, and yes, whoever your dreams are. And that's 785 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: what this young man is learning and his and his 786 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 1: best friend, who we see the relationship going. I'm talking 787 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 1: about Crystal, and that's another storyline I'm not gonna get 788 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: into any detail on because it should be seen and 789 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,760 Speaker 1: you should see the development of her character in the series. 790 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 1: But also it's it's it's kind of a romance, but 791 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 1: their friends their friends, they're die hard friends. And what 792 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: you learned in this series, Reggie, if I could be 793 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,800 Speaker 1: so bold to say this, is that you learn to listen. 794 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: You learn to listen with people are trying to talk 795 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 1: to you. That was a big part of this whole 796 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: first five episodes that I heard screaming at me people 797 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: when they talk, take the time to hear and not talk, 798 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: and so much talk about your problems. But other people 799 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 1: have problems too, and you should learn to hear their problems, 800 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,719 Speaker 1: especially when they're coming to you to talk. That was 801 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,439 Speaker 1: strong language in this in this series so far. Well, 802 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 1: but I mean it feels like that's a lost art 803 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: in this country right now. Right Like listening, you know, 804 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 1: like like like really listening, like really trying to understand 805 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: where somebody else is coming from. You know, but I 806 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: see other great thing about having a platform like this 807 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: to be able to give insight, to to bring people 808 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 1: into you know, various characters and and see and you 809 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 1: know um so much. You know that the show's called swagger, 810 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,400 Speaker 1: you know. And and so you know, obviously on the 811 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: surface that's like barbato and confidence, but really underneath all 812 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,879 Speaker 1: of that swaggers would having a cause bigger than yourself, right, 813 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: And so whether you your causes, your people, your family, 814 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: your team, having that cause bigger than yourself, um, really 815 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: gives you that sense of purpose, that that grid, that 816 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: determination to move closer to your your dreams and your calling. 817 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: And I think that's why, you know, you know, in 818 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 1: Jason's journey, you know, Jason's journey initially is himself, yes, 819 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: you know, and as we go through the narrative, it 820 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 1: expands as he expands. We know an interesting thing about 821 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 1: it because now I'm going to go to Oce Jackson's character. 822 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 1: You know, he plays icon, a character who didn't reach 823 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,760 Speaker 1: who had great basketball potential but didn't reach the potential. 824 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: And when you staid reach the potential, the NBA is 825 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: the goal. The NBA is the ultimate goal of anybody 826 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,439 Speaker 1: who puts on those sneakers and gets on that hard 827 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 1: court and try to imagine they're the next Michael Jordan 828 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,720 Speaker 1: or the next Scareem Abdul Jabbard, or next Lebron James 829 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: today or next KD. Because KD six and eleven and 830 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: seven feet tall and dribbled like a six point six 831 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 1: ft point guard and shoots like Steph Kurr on the 832 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: even any given day, but dunk like Lebron. So that's 833 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 1: to be to have a show about that, there had 834 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: to be some additional pressure Reggie, knowing that you this 835 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,359 Speaker 1: is when the regular superstar. There wasn't a guy who 836 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,800 Speaker 1: who's a marginal player or just a good player. K 837 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 1: D can probably go down in history is one of 838 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 1: the all top five all time players. Here, you ain't 839 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: having a room and to create a scripted series that 840 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 1: has to retain a level of credibility, and you do, 841 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,280 Speaker 1: my friend, because we're gonna get into these action shots. 842 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 1: Because I was like blown away by these these I'll 843 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 1: tell you how something when you when you watch TV, 844 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: watch Reggie do his work, his his his magic, and 845 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: you see a shot that don't have jump cuts in him, 846 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,320 Speaker 1: and I'm going, okay, that's a real shot from the corner. 847 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 1: When Nick Mindez hits his first three pointer at the 848 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 1: top of the I go, that's a real shots. That's it. 849 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 1: I said, I said, I said, I said, Reggie, Reggie, 850 00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: my boy has said, man, how how how you pulling 851 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,840 Speaker 1: that off? Bro? How many? First of all, you know, 852 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 1: first of all, though you started talking about the pressure, 853 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: we just say so creatively, what I wanted to do 854 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: was have the basketball feel real. So it actually alleviated 855 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 1: pressure as the network and everybody, yeah, we gotta be like, 856 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's gotta be real, it's gonna be kevin. 857 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 1: So so we cast actors someone who had really played 858 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 1: ball before. But we were able to, like, like you know, 859 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 1: it's so rare to be able to cast somebody and 860 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,880 Speaker 1: give them like three months of training, like multiple days 861 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 1: throughout the week, hours and hours upon a day to 862 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 1: learn how to become a baller. And then we had 863 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: our ballers who then had a lot of time to 864 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 1: work with acting coaches. So just that alone, UM, it 865 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 1: alleviated pressure because it allowed me to then have like 866 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 1: a real process where everybody knew the basketball needed to 867 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,799 Speaker 1: me in a high level. UM. And you know, look 868 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 1: there was choreography and training sessions, but I mean they 869 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 1: just came and they and it was like, I mean, 870 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,439 Speaker 1: you know, it was a luxury, like like the kids 871 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,839 Speaker 1: wanted to do it, you know, like they were like, yo, 872 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,880 Speaker 1: I'm in some of it. Some of it, you know, 873 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,239 Speaker 1: it was from them, a choreographer and a trainer, but 874 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 1: some of it was them like, let's let me tell 875 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 1: you what I can do, and all we have to 876 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,399 Speaker 1: do is photographic.

And and so you know, when 977 00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:01,000 Speaker 1: you have a room like that, it's really gray inspiring 978 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:05,239 Speaker 1: because we're challenging each other, we're challenging other people's points 979 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,640 Speaker 1: of view, we're bringing in our real life experiences. And 980 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,719 Speaker 1: in a room like that, like I never say, like, 981 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 1: you don't. You don't create a room like that because 982 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: it's politically correct. You create a room like that because 983 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 1: it gives you the best product. Wow, I just want 984 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: to say this about the show. The credibility of the 985 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,720 Speaker 1: show is amazing. The Meg's role, who plays his business partner, 986 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:32,799 Speaker 1: O'shan's business, cavil hood, his icon uh David, his role 987 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,240 Speaker 1: as the NBA star who made it, who Who's Who's 988 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,840 Speaker 1: Who's has an issue with icon, All these layers, like 989 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:41,920 Speaker 1: you were saying earlier, and that's what I wanna say. 990 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,319 Speaker 1: I just wanted to start with the kids because that's 991 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 1: the core of this that's the that's the part that 992 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 1: that's the innocence of the series. Are the children? Are 993 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: the teenagers? Because you have all these adults who have 994 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 1: agendas from his mother has an agenda, o'sha is in denial, 995 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,480 Speaker 1: but he has an agenda. Dave has an agenda. Uh, 996 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 1: the guy from the glad Eators, he has an agenda. 997 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 1: All tied back to the reality what you've you're showing us, Reggie, 998 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,800 Speaker 1: this is happening right now. This is real life. This 999 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,319 Speaker 1: is not something you're making up. And to be able 1000 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: to pull that off, and then it's almost tragic because 1001 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 1: how do we pull these kids out of it? Always 1002 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,200 Speaker 1: there a train that we can't control anymore, and you 1003 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,120 Speaker 1: just capturing it, put it on paper, allowing us to 1004 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:29,359 Speaker 1: see a version of it. Well, you know, first of all, 1005 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: let me just say something. But what you talked about 1006 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:35,280 Speaker 1: with innocence, right, so, you know, are most of our characters, 1007 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 1: most of these kids are fourteen years old, and so 1008 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 1: we know fourteen has some historical context, you know within 1009 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 1: the black community, right, Um, you know Matil fourteen years old, August. 1010 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm murdered, and you know that's still 1011 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 1: reverberates within our community. You know, I thought of these 1012 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 1: years later, right, um, and I saw this painting. But 1013 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,800 Speaker 1: this amazing artist named Lisa Winnington, she did this painting 1014 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 1: called um there was about Emmett tail and it was 1015 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:10,040 Speaker 1: called um. How let me see if I get the 1016 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 1: title right, Lisa. If I mess up the name of 1017 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 1: your art, I apologize. But it was how she sent 1018 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 1: him and how she got him back. And in this 1019 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 1: painting you see half of Emmett's face that's innocent and 1020 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 1: a vibrant and all these vibrant colors around them, like 1021 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 1: what we were calling our show, Emmet blue and Emmett yellow, 1022 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 1: and on the other side of his face it's mutilated. 1023 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 1: It's you know, with the you know, you know, the 1024 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: way the way the space was and he was beaten down. 1025 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: But we use her painting many ways. It's inspiration. And really, 1026 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, when I would talk to everyone about what 1027 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 1: we're doing, we were like, this innocence is what we're 1028 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 1: fighting for for our characters. We want this sort of innocence. 1029 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 1: Our coaches they're fighting for our kids and maintain this innocence. 1030 00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,240 Speaker 1: And the flip side of it is that you're on 1031 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,160 Speaker 1: the other side of it, you know, and so um, 1032 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 1: so much of the of the of the sister's work. 1033 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 1: You know, like I said, we you know it was 1034 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 1: it was actually a template for our color palette, you know, 1035 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,560 Speaker 1: Emmon blue, Emmon yellow, like all these sort of colors 1036 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: and our artwork U inspired us. And so the innocence 1037 00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 1: versus the other side of it was, it was something 1038 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,360 Speaker 1: that we really spent a lot of time talking about 1039 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 1: my brother.
