00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 5: until now, until like my older age.

36
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 3: It all worked out. And how did you get into acting?

37
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 3: Come from queens? Like what made what was the acting bug?

38
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, it's crazy because you don't see anybody.

39
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 5: I mean, my sisters actually were dancers, like when they

40
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 5: danced in videos back in the day and like kid

41
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 5: in Play like MC light all that stuff. So I

42
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 5: like saw pictures, like I stole pictures from them and

43
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 5: took them to school and was like she's eating this person,

44
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 5: you know, or but so I saw it from Afar,

45
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 5: but I didn't know that I can actually do it. Honestly,

46
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 5: I used to love watching cartoons and things like that.

47
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 5: I only knew I could do it when I went

48
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 5: to Long Island and I heard of this woman named

49
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: Mariah Carey who's from Huntington, and I was like, Oh,

50
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 5: that's interesting. And so I started going on the L

51
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 5: I R R. Long Island Railroad to New York and

52
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 5: taking classes. But I didn't know that I can do it.

53
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 5: I just saw the TV and I was like, this

54
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 5: is a job, like you know, you don't know it

55
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 5: until you can see somebody, yeah, or you see somebody

56
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 5: else who's actually doing it.

57
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 4: You know.

58
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 3: And your parents believe back then, because I mean they

59
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: had to take you, right.

60
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 5: My parents, No, my mom didn't know what the hell

61
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 5: I was doing was going to because I used to

62
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 5: work at a movie theater. So I had my own

63
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 5: money to do it and take classes. But like she

64
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 5: trusted me. I was a very trusting child because my

65
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 5: siblings made all the mistakes.

66
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 4: And she was like, okay, exactly.

67
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 5: And so I would go to New York and on

68
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 5: the weekends take classes and and and it wasn't until

69
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 5: I moved to New York to go to Marymount Manhattan College.

70
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 5: I couldn't afford it. It was too expensive. I don't

71
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 5: know why I chose a private college. And I told

72
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 5: my mom that I was leaving and I'm going to

73
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 5: try acting, and she was like, what is First of all,

74
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 5: where's your four to one? Like, you know, I grew

75
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 5: up in that kind of environment. My mom was a

76
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 5: corrections officer at Rikers, So you know, she's like, what's

77
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 5: the plan because we don't know anybody who acts, who's

78
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 5: making any money.

79
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna Actually, when do you feel like

Speaker 4: you actually made it?

82
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 5: I feel like there are many different breakout moments for

83
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 5: different people, right. And I remember quitting my job in

84

86
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 5: being inconsiderate and entitled and talking to me sideways. I

87
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 5: literally walked out like just I didn't tell anybody. I

Speaker 4: You go for your dream.

00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 5: But that only lasted a week because then I.

Speaker 1: Can take care of you for one week.

107
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 4: No, it only lasted a week because I've booked.

108
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 6: A job for seven days. Yeah, you know.

109
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I booked One Life to Live and after

110
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 5: that I never had to like waitress or do any

111
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: of those things ever.

112
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 4: Again.

113
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: I love that you worked at a movie theater, you know,

114
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: because you know, when think back on your life, you

115
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: look at all of these different moments that kind of

116
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: gave you signs. Did that give you a sign back then?

117
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was the closest thing I had to like

118
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 5: what I wanted my reality to be. And so, yeah,

119
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 5: I worked at a movie theater for a while. It

120
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 5: was United Artists, it's not and it's no longer around.

121
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 5: But I would get my mom some free movies. I'd

122
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 5: give her a free candy and popcorn and all that stuff.

123
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was one of those things where I

124
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 5: was that was the closest I ever got to what

125
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 5: I wanted to be.

126
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.

127
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: You played Michelle Obama a few years ago.

128
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 4: I did, Well, how was that?

129
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: Did you get to pick her brain?

130
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 6: And all?

131
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 4: I didn't.

132
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 5: I didn't we got the okay to do it because

133
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 5: you know, we definitely didn't want to step on anybody's toes.

134
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 5: But it was just from the point of view of

135
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 5: you know, before she became Michelle, you know, like their

136
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 5: first date. And so it was something that I produced

137
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 5: and we took to sun Dance and we sold it

138
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 5: to Mirrimax at the time, and you know, it worked

139
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: out and my friend Richard Tanny wrote script and I

140
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 5: got to work with my friend Parker Sawyers.

141
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: So it was it was.

142
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 5: Really fun to do and and I feel that that project,

143
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 5: like it was very close to my heart.

144
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: Didn't come out before after becoming her.

145
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 4: Book, way after before.

146
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: Before, before before before you didn't have nothing to work on.

147
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, he had, he had wrote his books already,

148
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 5: but she also her brother wrote a book, so I

149
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 5: got to like understand the inside of who she was

150
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 5: before she became the Michelle Obama, you know, And so

151
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 5: that was more fun for me because I wasn't trying

152
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 5: to replicate who she is now. I had to kind

153
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 5: of get an idea of who she was before that, right,

154
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 5: and she was his boss. So the their first date

155
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 5: was definitely like you know it was. It was walking

156
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 5: the line.

157
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: You get canceled with that to day.

158
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: Your person got your boss, though, can't your boss you

159
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: out here in the workplace?

160
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: Oh, human resources?

161
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: It was a double standing. Maybe it was different when

162
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: it's a woman and the guy.

163
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: I just feel like, where do you meet your significant

164
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 5: another nowadays? Like nobody goes to bars.

165
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: Nowadays. It's the toughest thing, Like you can't. I'm not

166
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: gonna say you're not allowed to because you don't watch

167
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: the human resource video that they make you watch every week.

168
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: You got somebody and.

169
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: I met my man in the bar. I did, yes, yeah,

170
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 4: two years ago.

171
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 5: I met guys in the bars. But I'm just saying

172
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 5: that's when you used to go out, you know. But yeah,

173
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 5: most of it was at work. So for me to

174
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: now tell us.

175
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: About the sonic, the hedgehogging, and it.

176
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: Was that dirt installment because you're not.

177
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: It's well, it is a person, but it's not a person.

178
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: It's animation.

179
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean it's it's incredible what they do

180
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 5: and how they make them look. The first one was

181
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 5: just like a golf tennis ball. I was like connecting

182
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: with the second Sonic two, it was these huge three

183
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 5: D cutouts of like me talking us talking to Sonic

184
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 5: and Tails and all that stuff. And then the third

185
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 5: one was like these huge puppeteers who actually had like

186
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 5: talking to us as their voice as each Wress and

187
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 5: Keanu and whoever else, And so yeah, it grow, it

188
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 5: grew as the budget grew.

189
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: On the same room or is it like is it individually? No,

190
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: they're in the same room. Okay, they're in the same room.

191
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 5: Not not not the voiceover part, Like they do their

192
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 5: part separately, like Ben Schwartz who does Sonic and all

193
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 5: that stuff, they do it in a booth. But for

194
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 5: us to make it real, they bring these like puppeteers

195
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 5: and like we're like, I love you Sonic or Knuckles

196
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 5: is like I don't understand you know.

197
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: That kind of thing.

198
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 5: And so yeah, we get to like act across from

199
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: real actors.

200
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: Do you like it?

201
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: I love it weird, like you're talking to a muppet

202
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: and I know one time you're talking to a tennis ball.

203
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 5: I know, but it's like using your imagination, right, Like

204
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 5: the closest thing to creativity is play. So I mean

205
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 5: that's what you'd get to I got to do it,

206
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 5: and I feel like I'm the coolest mom ever have

207
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 5: daughter who's eight, is like she saw like she saw

208
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 5: it and she's like, thank you so much, mom, And

209
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 5: then all her friends were like, your sonic's mom. Yes,

210
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 5: I feel like I have different street Crid. She's eight

211
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 5: years old playing not at all with or without you?

212
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: Without you?

213
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: When they first booked you for that, did you what

214
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 2: made you say I want to do this because it's

215
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: totally different than what you've done before.

216
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: What made you want to do that?

217
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 5: Well, honestly, they asked me to come read at like

218
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 5: a huge paramount table reading all the executives. Everybody was there,

219
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 5: and I was like, do y'all y'all want me to

220
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 5: come read with you guys? That's awesome, And so then

221
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 5: they offered me the job. I wanted to do it

222
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 5: because I wanted to do something that my daughter can

223
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 5: actually watch.

224
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 4: I feel like everything I do is. It's like she

225
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: can't really watch it. So how is it working with

226
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 4: Jim Carrey? Oh, doctor, yes, which nobody else could play

227
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 4: that role. And he plays two roles in this.

228
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 5: He plays his own grandfather and then the grandson, and

229
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 5: so he's in First of all, I grew up watching

230
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 5: him on in Living Color. Yeah. Same, And so to

231
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 5: see somebody who you look up to for so long

232
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 5: the first one, I was like, oh my god, Jim

233
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: Carrey and he's like, all right, let's let's talk about

234
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 5: the script and like all the things and what do

235
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 5: you think about this? And help like write this joke?

236
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 5: And I was like, what's me? No, I can't help

237
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 5: with anything.

238
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 4: You write that, you know.

239
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 5: But it was really cool that he kind of embraced

240
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 5: us and he's just super normal. Now it's like, oh

241
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 5: that's Jim, you know. Yeah, it was awesome. It was awesome,

242
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 5: a dream come true.

243
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: I wonder when you have you know yourself and then

244
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: you have stars of that magnitude like Keanu and Jim,

245
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: do they need to be seen clearly?

246
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 5: Not?

247
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: Right?

248
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: Do y'all need to be seen?

249
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 4: What do you mean?

00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 6: And what like?

251
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: As far as like being on the screen, like it's

252
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: your voices, but it's.

253
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,480

254
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 5: the screen, you see what he does. I think with

255
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 5: Keanu and Idris, you know their voices, so you don't

256
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 5: have to. People are excited that it's Keanu and Idris,

257
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 5: you know. And but also you know, the characters that

258
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,440

00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 5: and me and you know other people are real.

279
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 4: Jim Carrey is real.

280
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,560

283
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:01,840

Speaker 3: just allowed you to go right, Yeah, that was your

287
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 3: your son and daughter daughter. Because your daughter get older,

288
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: would you let her just go and say go ahead?

289
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,600

295
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 5: I think it's really important to allow your child to

296
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 5: have some access to independence because I feel like or

297
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,360

00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: really gets the flowers with a credit that he deserves.

395
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 5: I think he gets it, and he gets it from

396
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 5: the people that matter to him.

397
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 4: You know.

398
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 5: I think you know, there's obviously a group of people

399
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 5: who don't like what he does, but you don't have

400
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 5: to watch it.

401
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: You said something very important, you said, the people that

402
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: matter to him. If more of us can embrace that,

403
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: like just caring about the opinions of people that actually

404
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: matter to us and don't care about the pinions of

405
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: the people who don't mad at us.

406
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: That means it, that's it.

00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,400

Speaker 1: Nick from the beginning knew, like yeah, yeah, he knew.

608
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,919

609
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: not married, that's already on your mind.

611
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 4: I mean, you you are where you are in life.

612
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 4: You're either ready for more or you're not.

613
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 5: And I used to say, I say to women all

614
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 5: the time, if you don't know where you stand, you

615
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 5: stand nowhere at all? You know, with somebody, And so

616
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 5: I knew and you're either afraid to ask the question,

617
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 5: or you're like, where are we if you don't if

618

Speaker 4: Nowhere? Right?

620
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: And so you know, and and some people are ready,

621
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 5: and then some people are not. And I was ready

622
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 5: when I met Nick, and so and so was he.

623
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 5: They weren't ready.

624
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,919

Speaker 2: when they first met him? And what did they think

664
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 2: because they're from Queens, I know family back then, parents

665
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,880

00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 5: remarried a white guy actually, and so I when she

Speaker 4: I was scared. I didn't I didn't know.

674
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 5: I was around black people all the time, and I

675
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 5: was like, who is this? Like what I didn't understand.

676
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 5: He's like, you want to go get ice C. I'm like,

677
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 5: you're scaring me. I didn't know.

678
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 4: So my mom was fine with it.

679
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 5: My mom got a divorce and she went back and

680
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 5: she married a black man who's amazing and they're in

681
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 5: a great relationship.

682
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: I said, doctor Lamar frown and smiled.

683
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 4: So your mama dated what it's like?

684
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 5: No, doctor Ymar. She went back, so she was fine

685
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 5: with it. We were fine with it. I mean it's nobody,

686
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 5: you know. I think everybody was like, you know what,

687
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 5: you know, what is this? And is he serious? And

688
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 5: what does he want? And all that stuff.

689
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, they were. They were definitely supportive.

690
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: This might be a stupid question, but is there anything

691
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: you learned on mixed that you bring into your your

692
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: life now?

693
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 4: You know?

694
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 5: I try not to bring any baggage that I've had

695
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 5: onto my daughter because her her experience is going to

696
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 5: be so different than mine in a lot of different ways,

697
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 5: like I'll I'll be.

698
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 4: We homeschool our daughter now.

699
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,959
Speaker 5: We took her out of private school, and she we

700
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 5: read more than ever, We do more math than ever.

701
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 5: But we've been reading these civil rights you know. Actually

702
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 5: Nick reads them to her and she's like, I love history, mom,

703
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 5: And she's like, how could somebody not let people sit

704
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 5: where they want to sit? And one day she came

705
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 5: home when she was in school, she's like, Mom, you

706
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 5: know Martin Luther King junior. Right. I was like, yeah,

707
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 5: She's like you know them, you know. She's like that

708
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 5: man who shot him looked like dad.

709
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 3: Damn right, damn.

710
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 4: I was like, well.

711
00:31:51,680 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 6: He looks like dad. Well, you know.

712
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 5: I was like, people were crazy. I was like, and yeah,

713
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 5: I mean that's what happened. And we talked to our

714
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 5: child how we want to give her. For me, I remember,

715
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 5: you know, you grew up like you know, kids aren't

716
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 5: meant to talk or just sit there and be quiet.

717
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 5: But I think for me, what I struggled with was

718
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 5: not understanding my own emotions as I got older, not

719
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:24,959
Speaker 5: being able to communicate with a guy and tell them

720
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 5: what I actually want, because I'm like, what do I feel?

721
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 5: What do I feel? And I want my daughter to

722
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 5: be able to express herself. And so I don't think

723
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 5: she talks back to me. She just asked a lot

724
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 5: of questions and she's like, well, I need to understand

725
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 5: why this is the way it is, or all the things.

726
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 5: And so I'm giving her the tools to be able

727
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 5: to speak up for herself. And you want, you say

728
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 5: you want your kid to have a voice, then you

729
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 5: got to give him a voice to have. And so

730
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 5: that's how I feel with my daughter. So we talk

731
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 5: about a lot.

732
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: I love were just having that conversation earlier about emotions,

733
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: because you know, they love to say women are more

734
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: emotional than men, which I don't believe. And I believe

735
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: if you are a man that doesn't know how to,

736
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, probably express your emotions, there's work you can

737
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: go do on yourself.

738
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 4: Oh my god, for sure. And that's what I mean.

739
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 5: I started Adventures of Curiosity Code, which is a kid's

740
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 5: podcast that maybe your hells is your You're not your twelve,

741
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 5: he's twelve, but it's about emotional intelligence and it's about

742
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 5: we created all these stories for kids because Ella used

743
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 5: to be like, tell us, just tell me a story,

744
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 5: tell me a story. And that now she's like, can

745
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 5: you put on my podcast while she's in the bath,

746
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 5: And but it's these stories that like help kids.

747
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, yes she is and she you know,

748
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 4: it's these stories that for kids that.

749
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 5: Help them with understanding social emotional intelligence.

750
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 4: And so I'm excited about that.

751
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely make sure she got a children's book

752
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: coming out too, called I Got It from My Mama.

753
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: I got it, I got it from Mama.

754
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 4: I got it from my mama.

755
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

756
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 5: It comes out next year around Mom's Day Mother's Day,

757
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 5: and you can pre order it now. But it's really

758
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 5: about the idea of like old school parenting mixed with

759
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 5: new school parenting and when gentle parenting is not so gentle.

760
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 5: And so it's this idea of like this little girl

761
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 5: being like I.

762
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 4: Got this from my mama.

763
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 5: I got this, and it shows all these things like

764
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 5: I love how she does her hair and I try,

765
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 5: and she sprays this perfume and then I've sprayed my dream,

766
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 5: all these things she's gotten from her mom. Her mom

767
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 5: one day snaps at her and she goes to school

768
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 5: and she ends up snapping at somebody like her mom,

769
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 5: and her mom is basically like, where'd you get that?

770
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 5: From and she's like, I got it from you, mama.

771
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 5: And so it's the idea of mirroring what we see

772
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 5: and it's okay as long as you repair it. And

773
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 5: so the mom basically takes responsibility and apologizes to her

774
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 5: child for snapping. And I think for me, like even

775
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 5: to this day, my mom did something to my daughter

776
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 5: and she's.

777
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 4: Like, I ain't apologize it, and I'm like, Mom, it's okay.

778
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 5: It doesn't take anything from you to just apologize, like,

779
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 5: because you're teaching your children behavior, you know what I mean,

780
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 5: Like when you're all, I'm not apologizing, You're a kid.

781
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 5: They're growing up up thinking they don't need to. You're

782
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 5: it's a cycle of you know, kao to break yes.

783
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 5: And so for me it's me it's it's the understanding

784
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 5: of newness and and what that means in parenting.

785
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 4: And so it's called I got it from my mama.

786
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: So I was like, what's the greatest piece of advice

787
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: you got from yourma?

788
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 5: Oh man, I don't know if I got the advice,

789
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 5: but I saw the advice. And my mom is super resilient,

790
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 5: and I see I saw her struggle a lot, and

791
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 5: she never gave up she knew she had my mouths

792
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 5: to feed, and she knew that she had to work

793
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 5: really hard. And so for me, I feel like the

794
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 5: biggest thing a kid could have is resilience, because if

795
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 5: you have that, I feel like you really can You're

796
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 5: not so easy to give up on everything.

797
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 4: You know.

798
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 5: And I think nowadays even for my own daughter, teaching

799
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 5: her like girl, no, you're gonna do this. You we

800
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 5: made her stand piano when she didn't want to do it,

801
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 5: and now she's like, she goes downstairs by herself and

802
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 5: she just plays a piano and all that stuff, and

803
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 5: I'm like, no, you gotta follow through. And so for me,

804
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 5: it's never given up, Like my mom never gave up

805
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 5: on us, and she never gave up on herself.

806
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: I saw you posted this on Instagram once and I

807
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: thought it was good. You said, would you speak to

808
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: your best friend the way you speak to you to yourself?

809
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

810
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 5: I feel like and I'm I'm guilty of this, like

811
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 5: the way we were so hard on ourselves nowadays, and

812
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 5: especially like the hustle culture and like you know, Jess

813
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 5: is doing this and Envy's doing that, and you're you

814
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,080

815
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 4: Like you're doing.

816
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 5: We look at all these people and thinking I'm not

817
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 5: doing enough, or I'm not enough or I'm not smart

818
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 5: enough to do what they do, or it's like do

819
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 5: what you do and speak to yourself. You I would

820
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 5: never just if we were best friends, I wouldn't be like,

821
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 5: you know, I wouldn't be mean to you, right, Or

822
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 5: if you were talking about yourself crazy, I'd be like,

823
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,080
