1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: But next year I saw our power couple. Haven't had

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 1: them on a short a long time, but they are fantastic.

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Last time in season three of Black Love, and when

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: I had them own season one at Premier and it

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: was two great numbers. They're the creators of the popular

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: series Black Love that airs on the own network. UM

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: two great numbers uh in season three. Like I stated earlier,

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: the goal is to become the hub for black couples

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: and singles looking to build community and conversation around healthy

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: relationships at every stage of life. Please welcome back to

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: money making conversation. My favorite couple, Cody and Tommy Oliver,

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: your favorite couples. You got to, you know, because y'all

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: y'all doing what so many people have said. It is

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: a problem in the in the black community, not understanding

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: relationships amongst each other, not communicating with each other. And

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: it also you know, I don't know, are you helping

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: to find what black relationships can be? And they and

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: when I say that, I mean they could be so

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: many different levels and so sometimes you know, I come

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: from a traditional black family, you know, more from the South.

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: My mom didn't work, she stayed at home and and

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: a lot of African American's my age have that experience

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: like that. But technology has changed so many things, so

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: the experience of what black love is is being communicated

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: differently to so many people. And that's why you are

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: my favorite. Tell me favor that is incredibly kind and

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: we appreciate that a lot. Absolutely tell me what's going on?

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: Season three? Brother, Come on now, the season three? Yeah,

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: you seem to have the I I'm gonna have to

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: scoop that I'm gonna have some information. But to be

31
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: about it that you guys created this project, which which

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: I think is really let's go let's go back to

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: getting started. The first started because it was just an idea.

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: It was a concept where you called would I say,

35
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: called on favors to get people to reveal themselves in

36
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: an emotional manner as a couple. And then it and

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: then it aired and wail right, So we um you

38
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: are quite that simple. But it felt like Wall happened

39
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: for several years before it aired. But yeah, we we

40
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: certainly called on favors in terms of relationships with with

41
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: some friends and friends of friends and parents and friends

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: to sit down and have honest conversations. And Tommy and

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: I have kept it just the four of us in

44
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: a room met him and the couple. So there's no gaffer,

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: there's no p a, there's no you know, there's yeah,

46
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: the four of us. Tommy does all the production and

47
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: I just asked the question, and and so we keep

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: it really intimate. And then and we've and we've tried

49
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: to maintain that um through season one, season two and

50
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: what's to come. You know what, I think you may

51
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: have inspired us. I think we should probably make an announcement.

52
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes here's the deal. Here's the deal, Tommy, you inspire me. Okay,

53
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about a little bit about the things

54
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: that you guys do outside of UH, outside of UH,

55
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, black love because of the fact that this

56
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: is so important, because the fact that black people were

57
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: interesting group of people were interesting people. You know, we

58
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: don't talk about situations where it comes to health issues.

59
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: We don't even lads to talk about mental issues. You know,

60
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: we don't want to talk about I definitely want to

61
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 1: talk about these sexual issues. Okay, and so so we

62
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: we we were live in this little boxed world of

63
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: bad information, you know, and so and that bad information

64
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: really doesn't help because guess what, if you passing along

65
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: bad information leads to more ignorance, and so socially and

66
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: emotionally within our community we live, we live in a

67
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: box of lies. I believe in your show, I feel

68
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: starts to peel back the truth and allow people to

69
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: be honest. That's why, that's why I'm I'm fans because

70
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: of the fact that you know, it's an idea that

71
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: that that only YouTube could have thought of, because of

72
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: the fact that it was derived through through a trail

73
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: of emotions, through an idea of that this is the

74
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: truth and this is what's really happening and we want

75
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: to reveal it. That's why when I watched an episode,

76
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's really intimate to me, and you know,

77
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: I see him sitting here close to each other on

78
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: the sofa. You know, nobody's you know, nobody's worried about

79
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: the shirt being buttoned up right of the pants. Talk

80
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: to they just you know, I'm be going, Okay, they

81
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: could have fixed their shirt right there, but this is

82
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: but this is this is the moment. You know, I'm

83
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: being a producer, you know what I'm saying. Trust me,

84
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm thinking it too. But I'm also like, you

85
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: know what I don't want to stop what's what's happening

86
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: right now. I don't want to stop someone from sharing

87
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying by making themselves conscious. And so much

88
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: of it is, you know, like Cody said, it's the

89
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: four of his rown. And so when you're sitting down

90
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: with your friends or with your marriage mentors, if you

91
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: are fortunate enough to have them, and somebody's shirt has

92
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: had toning, you're not gonna be like, yo, bro, what's

93
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: up with your shirt? Right right, right, right right right,

94
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: because it will it will break the moment because it's like,

95
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: it's about our story about how we should look. You

96
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: feel me, yeah, and then that's what that's what you know.

97
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: I feel that that stops communication within the within the

98
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: our black families. And that's why when I look at

99
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: the show, when you first came on the show and

100
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: they sent me some take to review the show and

101
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: really get a clue understanding the show, my big takeaway

102
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: was thank you, thank you for allowing us to talk.

103
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: And what what hearing me speak like this? What has

104
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: been the most satisfied take away from you guys with

105
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: your show? I think it's been twofold one. There is

106
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: a sense of selfishness. And so we started the show

107
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: because there are a couple of reasons. The one was

108
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: because we didn't have the examples that we felt we

109
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: needed in order to be properly equipped and to be

110
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: able to have a marriage back into this name until

111
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: we wanted to talk to people who had done it.

112
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: And so I think we've learned a lot and we're

113
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: still struggling and working through things, but having gone through

114
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: these couples, in these interviews, in this experience, is certainly

115
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: given us tools that helps to this day of day.

116
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: But beyond that, like you said, the idea of there're

117
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: two things we don't see ourselves. So before this we

118
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: hadn't seen ourselves much in the right way. We were

119
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: always categorized or misrepresented on TV or on social media.

120
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: And but we knew sort of like privately, we knew

121
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: that there were couples that made our work. We knew

122
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: that you know, there was a nighbor, the neighbor across

123
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: us the street, or that you know, couple from the

124
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: church or whatever means been, but they just never got

125
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: any shutting. And so we wanted to be able to

126
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: show people, no, no, we are out there is happy

127
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: love and couples, and then we wanted to be able

128
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: to normalize the this understanding of marriage and how things

129
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: actually work, which is very different than if you take

130
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: your cues from TV or Phil Now when you stay.

131
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: When I was when I was reading some of your credits,

132
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: it was saying, Uh, the goal is to become the hub,

133
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: which means that you want to be a creative content.

134
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: Black couples and singles looking to build community and conversations

135
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: around healthy relationships at every stage were like, explain that

136
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: man explaining that format. So with with Some Black Love,

137
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: the series that is on own UM, we were able

138
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: to show couples, married couples making it work and what

139
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: that requires. Right UM. But one of the things that

140
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: we noticed is that in order to have a healthy,

141
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: happy relationship, a lot of the times the relationships of

142
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: your past and not you know, boyfriend's girlfriends exclusively, but

143
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: your parents, your siblings, your best friends, those relationships being fractured,

144
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: those relationships having trauma, those relationships being uncomfortable or as

145
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know, not talking about what's real. UM

146
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: play a role in your marriage because they play a

147
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: role in your expectations and UM and how you operate

148
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: in your patterns, and so we actually launch black love

149
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: dot Com to expand the conversation past marriage. You know,

150
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: we felt like it was important to keep talking about

151
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: marriage and partnership, but also to talk about those other

152
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: I guess tenants of one's life and how important it

153
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: is when we're trying to like build a relationship for decades, um,

154
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: to make sure that those other areas are healthy as well.

155
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: Because one of the absolute best things you can do

156
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: to give your relationships making it is being the best

157

158
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: that is actually coming up really soon. Um. So we

159
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: have done several live events, right Like, we'll take one

160
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: of our couples or two of our couples and we'll

161
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: go to different cities and we do two hours, We

162
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: have a conversation, we show clips from the show we've done.

163
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: We've done it with Kirk Franklin and Tammy and Dallas.

164
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: We've done it with Taj and Eddie George in Chicago.

165
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: We went to Atlanta with Tamia and Grant hill Um,

166
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: and then I think it was Tommy that had the

167
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: idea that we do a full day, and so we

168
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: did a full day in l a last year in

169
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: October of conversations around relationships, and we were able to

170
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: get even more specific than the show. And because there

171
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: were I don't know how many conversations that day, let's

172
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: say ten panel conversations with couples and then five people there,

173
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: you know, you're able to ask questions. You're able to say, hey,

174
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: this is my issue. Can somebody ay tell me I'm

175
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: not alone? And be helped me out? And so it

176
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: was really fun. And now we're doing it in Atlanta

177
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: the Black Summing. It's called the Black Love Summit. It's

178
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: a full day of conversation um in Atlanta on July twenty. Wow,

179
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 1: I means you gotta get a lot of stuff. Do

180
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: you gotta be some banners? You gotta give me up yet,

181
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, because you have. But we gotta put Roshan

182
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: the work. You know, it comes to my town. I

183
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: gotta promote what. I gotta use my social media because

184
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: I just don't invite my friends on the show and

185
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: go okay, by good luck. No, we're here to sale tickets.

186
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: This is money making compensations, but it's it's fixes where

187
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: this question over this beginning asking about wanting us us

188
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: wanting to be the hub us wanting to facilitate all

189
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: the ways in which people consume what they need. And

190
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: so sometimes people want to watch a TV show. Sometimes

191
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: it will be on social media, sometimes it will be

192
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: a live event. And for us, it's trying to figure

193
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: out how we can strengthen, strengthening the black community and

194
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: put us in a better place to be and happy, long,

195
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: love the relationships, and so it's sort of, however we

196
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: can do that, we will. Well you're doing it, and

00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: shows that don't have the history that you two have

201
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: to be able to pull this off. Like you said,

Speaker 1: you're the only two people in the room. How many

222
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: We crossed our platform. We were back with more of

223
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: my favorite power couple, UH, Cody and Tommy Oliver. I

224
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: just for Sean McDonald. You're listening to money making conversations. Uh,

225
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: this is a show that I started UM just as

226
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: a promotional to two years ago, just to promote my brand. Uh.

227
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: I would call my friends, they would come on the show,

228
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: and I didn't really know what I was talking about

229
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a point of view. And then after four

230
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: weeks turned into three months, three months turned into a year,

231
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: and the year turned into two years. And and one

232
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: of the great couples that I had on my show

233
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: and that first year was Cody and Tommy oliver Um

234
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: reason I said they're a great couple because there's a

235
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: passion that drives their success, a commitment to a story storyteller.

236
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: And a lot of people understand when I say storytelling,

237
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: storytelling is it's not so much about how you look

238
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: what you say. We really is about what you say.

239
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: And they and they always has a beginning, mill and

240
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: the end, and it's an honest conversation. And that's what

241
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: they do with their series of Arizona Own Network. Now

273
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,720

274
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: announcements we make today. Make sure when there's like one

275
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: minute last night, give you the do you know it

276
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: was a couple of things that you're saying about the series.

277
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: If I can get a little tease detail you talk

278
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: about submissions when you talking about that the role and

279
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that the role of the wife or the

280
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: role of the man when it comes to submission, can

281
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: you give us a little more detail because I'm trying

282
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: to build that momentum get everybody go ask me. I'm

283
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: there to tail talking about it. Here's the thing that's interesting, right,

284
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: is that it needs different things to different people. Yeah,

285
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: when you talk about physically, when you think about what

286
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: people talk about in their VW else are in the church,

287
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: and maybe it's antiquated, like maybe it's an old term

288
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: that's what we want to talk about. But when you

289
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: think of it that way, you know, it's about the

290
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: wife's submitting to her husband. And a lot of people

291
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: look at that term, that that word, that that that

292
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: sentence and go, why I'm not doing that? And some

293
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: people are like, well, that is what women do in

294
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: a marriage, and there's a reason for it. And so

295
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: we actually, Dondre what field is going to talk about

296
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: this with us talk for sure, and so we're we're

297
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: just taking a stance as much as disgusting. What does

298
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: it mean in your marriage? Um? And then too, you

299
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: know a lot of times we have single people in

300
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: the audience like what do you think of it? Are

301
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: you looking to do that? Are you looking not to

302
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: about it? It usually provokes a reaction one way or another,

303
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: and you talk about it like what, I'm not doing

304
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: that anyway? Because let me say, can I say this

305
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: to from our from our show, from our experience as

306
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: married people, UM, from conversationations that we have, there's no

307
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: one way. So we're not here to say we're not

308
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: where none of these conversations are. This is what you

309
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: must do to have a happy, healthy marriage prescriptive and

310
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: that with right, but we are taking ideas right. You

311
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: mentioned that that certain generations, you know, the mom or

312
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: the wife stays home and there are the kids and

313
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: cooks and the husband goes. You know, as we change

314
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: from generation to generation, what is what is? What do

315
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: we need to change about our relationships? So, for example,

316
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: I hadn't got a lot of this until just now

317
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: when we're talking about submission. And if I were to

318
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: answer what pumission means for me in my marriage and

319
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: the idea a phrase that I've said before in marriage

320
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: as the guy you can be right or you can

321
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: be happy. He's one. And so for me, that's a

322
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: level of submitting to the marriage, putting the marriage above

323
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: what you may naturally want or do to be right.

324
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: And so that's what submission is. So you're saying, Tommy,

325
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: there are times where you act right and you know

326
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: you submit to being wrong absolutely, but it does not.

327
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: I love it. This is absolutely true. I'm okay, what Racio,

328
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: that happens. That's universal, that's universal. Hispanic Asian. Hey, we

329
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: all we all give in, ladies, we give in. We

330
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: give in, and we're smaller, we're smaller. Public say we're smaller,

331
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: but we will give in any time. You know, because

332
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm about to go into a quick conversation about the

333
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: other thing that nugget that you said, it was about

334
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: the role of the husband, his role, and you're gonna

335
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: have a five minute on stage talking about that, and

336
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: I want to turn to Tommy and talk about that

337
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: a little bit and give us some some wisdom terminologies

338
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: that that's going to come out of that session. So

339
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: this will be our second time doing this. We did

340
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: it last year at the first timmit and this will

341
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: been the second time. And it's really the sort of

342
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: conversations that you know, you sometimes get when you've got

343
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: just guys hanging out. You know, guys were married different

344
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: so it's not you know, out looking for women. It's

345
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: guys who are out and who are committed. And so

346
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: the conversations that happened privately about what it takes to

347
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: actually make this thing work. And there are things that

348
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: there are things that we need to do differently, and

349
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: there are things that are are women are doing or guys, um,

350
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: they're just driving us crazy. And so part of it

351
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: is how do we deal with those things, how do

352
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: we make sure that we are the best possible partner

353
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: and and all of what that looks like. So it

354
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: could be a hundred different things, or it could be

355
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: human as simple as making sure you still give your

356
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: partner the minutit of the doubt. There's so many times

357
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: where as as time goes on, you become short and snappy,

358
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: and the things that didn't bother you in the beginning

359
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden and so World War three.

360
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: But if you're your best friend, way to do it. Oh,

361
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: it's fine, and she was just ten minutes late. Yeah,

362
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: if your spouse shows up ten minutes lade, it's like,

363
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: who do you think you are? You're so disrespectful And

364
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe you left me waiting here for ten minutes, right,

365
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: definitely hang. And so there's those sorts of things. And

366
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: also there's a we we as men we need that

367
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: are menu to talk to. We are the men to

368
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: talk to who are going to keep us accountable and

369
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: not to see like, well, yeah, she's crazy. Did you

370
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: say that to me? Because I would tell you though

371
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: I never I never share my my relationship with it

372
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: and my friends. You know, it's kind of like we

373
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: talk sports, we talk food, we talk sports, you know,

374
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: and so that's that's that's my conversation with my boys. Now,

375
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, we want to know anything else. You know,

376
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: we got problems. Why are you asking and so cutting

377
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: through that mystery that you're that you're doing this panel.

378
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: I think it's really really good and uh and and

379
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: like I said, this is a passion project that I

380
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: love talking to you too about because it's started with love.

381
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be built on love, and it's gonna be

382
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: you guys are going to become you know, content creators,

383
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: content builders, holders of this information and distributors of this information.

384
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's amazing that you've been able to

385
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: find this level of balance in your personal life and

386
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: your professional life and something that's a passion driven project

387
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: that can make money. We didn't say we had any

388
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: balance in our personal life. What'd you saying? I said,

389
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: we didn't say we have any balance in our personal life.

390
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: You don't have no balance. Three kids? Three you're talking

391
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: to me on this radio show right now, this podcast.

392
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: That's balance. Because if kids somewhere else, someone somebody else

393
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: take care. I know what balance is. I got a kid, okay,

394
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: and they are in the interview of my life. There

395
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: is balanced. So somebody's taking care. That's the balance I'm

396
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: talking about. But when But I do. We have two

397
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: minutes left and I wanted to uh comment up Tommy

Speaker 1: just dropped off. What is that just going up there?

403
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: If you can help us out a little bit before

404
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: we wrap up the interview, because I need one minute

405
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: left for you guys to give me the dramatic tease.

406
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: So we are doing a project cost length and really

407
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: talent to writer director named Malcolm may is directing it

408
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: and in partner with Overbrook on it, and we're shooting

409
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: it Inflint, and it's a it's a story where it's

410
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: not about the Flint water crisis, but the Flint water

411
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: crisis is the backdrop. And as such, we wanted to

412
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: try to continue to make sure that people are thinking

413
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: about it and pushing the narrative because they're still struggling

414
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: out there, and people just it's out of sight, out

415
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: of mind, and so as such, where the movie is

416
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: going to be shot in Flint, we're gonna use Flint

417
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: arties and for us, that was the only thing that

418
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 1: we were ever gonna do. So we we don't we're not.

419
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,479

Speaker 1: shoot either later this year. Easy to talking next year.

421
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: But we're still figuring out everything and we got to
