Speaker 13: I love doing your show the last time and I

177
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 13: got a lot of positive feedback.

178
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 4: You come on.

179
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 10: It was a different kind of interview though than there you.

180
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 13: My daddy was like you were a little too comfortable,

181
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 13: like they were at your house. Champagne, right, yes, champagne

182
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 13: whatever that was.

183
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 10: I didn't even like it, and I was drinking that.

184
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 13: But my father said that you would put more in

185
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 13: when I was looking at Kadeen.

186
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 10: That's what he said.

187
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 13: He said, whenever you looked at Kadeen, he poured more

188
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 13: in there. So I'm I'm thinking I'm just drinking one

189
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 13: glassy swaanty whatever.

190
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 10: But I'm drinking anyway, seven o'clock in the morning. Embarrassing,

191
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 10: is that you talking? He was just sitting back there.

192
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 10: I'm just laughing.

193
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 13: No, No, it was good because you ask questions that

194
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 13: people don't usually ask. You know, we get the same

195
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 13: questions over and over actually about a different world.

196
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: And you've done so much more since since.

197
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely, like right now, you want your first Emmy this year,

198
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: that's congratulations.

199
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 10: Went for the Chronicles of Jessica Woo. Yes, that was

200
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 10: a trip.

201
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 13: So I was going to Mexico to hang out with

202
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 13: my girlfriends, and I land and I get all these

203
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 13: texts from people saying congratulation on your Emmy nomination, and

204
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 13: I really thought people would messing with me.

205
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 10: I didn't even call them back. I said whatever.

206
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 13: I wasn't even and then when I realized I really

207
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 13: had been nominated, I.

208
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 10: Thought it was for the show Harlem.

209
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 13: Okay, Chronicles of Jessica Woo I had done. True, it

210
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 13: was before COVID. It was a long time ago, and

211
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 13: I only worked on it for a day. It was

212
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 13: a very interesting project to me because the production company

213
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 13: was a couple, a small black production company. The superhero

214
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 13: in the piece had autism, but her powers that whatever

215
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 13: put her on.

216
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 10: The spectrum made her a superhero.

217
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 13: Their daughter had an autistic child anyway, So I said, well,

218
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 13: I'll do it because I know after this they're going

219
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 13: to need distribution. And who knew that's what you know.

220
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 13: What I'm saying, my love for them and what I

221
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 13: know about, you know, pitching ideas. You're gonna need a name.

222
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 13: I know I've heard it all, and I said, well,

223
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 13: I'll be your name. This is gonna be good. And

224
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 13: it was a short series, like a wepisode series.

225
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 10: The other Oscar.

226
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 13: Nomination I got was also from an independent black company

227
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 13: and it was my nephew, Emmett. And I played em

228
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 13: Matill's aren't on the night that he was taken from

229
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 13: their home, and I was like, oh, I do not

230
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 13: want to go to Mississippi. And I'm telling you we

231
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 13: stayed right down the street from when he got abducted.

232
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: Missisippi still got that same energy.

233
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 10: Thank you.

234
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 13: I was gonna say, I felt ghosts, you know, And

235
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 13: I did it, and they got nominated for an Oscar night.

236
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 13: When the director called me, he was a graduate student

237
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 13: from NYU Film School. His mentors with Spike Lee and

238
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 13: Casey Lammon's right beautiful brother, the and the crew and everybody.

239
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 13: I had a great artistic experience. But when he told me,

240
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 13: you know, we got nominated for an Oscar thought he

241
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 13: was messing with me.

242
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: That says a lot though, like about how you know,

243
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: I guess black actors and actresses are conditioned in Hollywood

244
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: that when they get told that they're even nominated, they

245
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: don't believe it.

246
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 13: But when you ignored long enough, you got the message.

247
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 13: I got the message. If you're not nominating a different world.

248
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 13: Debbie Allen, Susan fails our wardrobe department, any other actor

249
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 13: on that show. I stopped focusing on y'all giving me

250
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 13: my props. I know who gives me my props. And

251
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 13: I told the actors, I said, we just got to

252
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 13: be good, you know, forget all these accolades or whatever.

253
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 13: They obviously do you know how many times they said

254
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 13: to me, even on I think I did Dennis Miller,

255
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 13: remember Dennis Milana talk show. He started with, so how

256
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 13: does it feel being between number one and three? And

257
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 13: I was stunned because I just sat down. You know,

258
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 13: you come out all cute, and what I was like

259
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 13: he said that wasn't a good lead in question.

260
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 10: I said, no, it wasn't.

261
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: You're talking about Cogye and Tears.

262
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 13: Everybody said we were number two because we came between them, okay,

263
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 13: and that was the first question.

264
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 10: That was the message.

265
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 13: That was the message that we got as actors as

266
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 13: you know, performers, and we never got our props for

267
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 13: not just the acting, but it was Debbie Allen, Susan

268
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 13: fails me.

269
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 10: Three black women in charge of that show. You know

270
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 10: what I mean. We could have been on.

271
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 13: The cover of Essence, and I just knew who really

272
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 13: saw us and who really understood us.

273
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 10: It's the same way you said, just look, okay.

274
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 13: So Carcy Warner, our producers also produced a show with

275
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 13: Whoop the Goldberg called Bagdad, Cafe Grace, under Fire in

276
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 13: the Roseanne Show and the Cosm of Show right, so

277
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 13: we're one of five.

278
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 10: They never asked us to do anything.

279
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 13: They asked Roseanne Barr to sing the national anthem, in

280
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 13: which she grabbed her crotch because she can't sing.

281
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 10: But we got five singers on our show.

282
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 4: That's crazy.

283
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 13: You could have had don me Kree, you know, never,

284
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 13: I don't know. I just got things we got things

285
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 13: on our own, and I never felt a part of

286
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 13: that network.

287
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 10: Then when I.

288
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 13: Saw what happened with Friends, I was like, yo, that

289
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 13: would have helped us. It would have helped us with

290
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 13: work after the show. It would have given us some props,

291
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 13: you know, that we could have used for future projects.

292
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 13: I pitched a lot. I have my own production company

293
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 13: after a Different World. All of my projects were rejected,

294
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 13: but then I started to see them.

295
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 4: That was wow. You know what I mean.

296
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 10: It's like a bad relationship.

297
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 13: After a while, you gotta understand, Okay, I ain't what

298
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 13: you want.

299
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 4: All right.

300
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: We got more with Jasmine Guy. When we come back,

301
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 2: do move.

302
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: It's to Breakfast Club.

303
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: Good Morning.

304
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club was saying it was such a privacy in

305
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: the nineties, so to get those stories from that era

306
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: when she talks about you and talk and just your friendship,

307
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: just that friendship of black Hollywood.

308
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 4: It's just like.

309
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 13: Man and now I was like privileged enough to hang

310
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 13: with them because there's so much younger than me.

311
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 10: You know, it was just easy.

312
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 13: You know, her birthday party and we went to the Dragonfly,

313
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 13: which was funk night that night.

314
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 10: I liked me some funk, obviously, I'm like, it's funck night.

315
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 12: I can fly.

316
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 13: But and you know, accepting of me because well, I'm

317
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 13: sixty two. So when I'm on the show, I'm twenty five,

Speaker 10: They eighteen nineteen.

320
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 13: Now it's not a big deal. But back then, I

321
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 13: wasn't hanging out with no you know. I remember I

322
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 13: went to a restaurant with Cree and as we were

323
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 13: walking to the restaurant, she said, do they card?

324
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 10: I said card?

325
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 13: I mean I never I had never been carded because eighteen,

326
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 13: you know, I said, how old are you? She said,

327
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 13: I just turned eighteen. I said, what the hell am

00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 13: I doing hanging out with? Are you kidding me? Kadem too,

330
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 13: when I was young, thirty thirty two. But now that

331
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 13: they have embraced me, I appreciate it because they kept

332
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 13: me current and kept me interested because they, Jada and Cree,

333
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 13: are out the box thinkers. They bring creative ideas to

334
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 13: the table that I never would have thought of. And

335
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 13: I love that and and of course you know, keeps

336
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 13: me laughing.

337
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: What about Pawk?

338
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 10: And I would like that too? He always had ideas.

339
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 13: I felt so unaccomplished, you know, because he would say

340
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 13: something and then do it. I would tell him an

341
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 13: idea and not write it and not finish it, or

342
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 13: it's still like on my shelf. Mostly I wanted him

343
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 13: to know that I felt he was a great actor.

344
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 13: And I heard the murmurings of oh, he's just being

345
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 13: himself or whatever. They're just writing on his fame as

346
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 13: a rapper. I said, everybody that raps ain't acting on there.

347
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 13: There were a lot of rappers that had movies that

348
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 13: man can act. Yeah, I mean his performances were after

349
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 13: Chang and I just wanted him to know that and

350
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 13: not listen to that.

351
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: Well, you were afraid during that time, like when you

352
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: took poking after he got you feel like, what have

353
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: they come looking for him?

354
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 13: And yeah, there were times because of the the regularity

355
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 13: of my going in and out of my apartment, I

356
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 13: felt like it would be easy if I had been

357
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 13: on the radar for anybody to you know, follow me

358
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 13: or come up. And so there was that. And I

359
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 13: didn't live in a secured building like a doorman building,

360
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 13: and I was scared of the like I had never

361
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 13: seen a real bullet wound, just you know, on TV

362
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 13: like NHYPD Blue and when I played a badass in

363
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 13: this movie. But I was concerned about that, you know,

364
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 13: actually caring for the wounds and making sure he was

365
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 13: gonna be Okay, n he should have been in the

366
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 13: hospital for at least two or three more days on antibiotics.

367
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: Everybody has walked out.

368
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: He signed himself out, so you had to help him

369
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: out and help meet and help him get himself back together.

370
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 13: But he when he left Bellevue, he went to his

371
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 13: girlfriends and he realized it was equally accessible.

372
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 10: He just felt like a sitting duck in the hospital.

373
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure you talk about this on since this

374
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: is my last question, Like when's the last time you

375
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: spoke to him, like before you die, you remember the

376
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: last conversation in your head or the last time you

377
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: saw him?

378
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 13: And I was visiting a Feini and Stone Mountain when

379
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 13: they had a house there and he came through. Now

380
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 13: this is after he had been in prison for eleven months. Okay,

381
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 13: I've seen him for a while. Yeah, Star, I saw

382
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 13: him at the house. That was the last time.

383
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: Do you remember the conversations? Personal?

384
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 13: It was just like hey, you know, and he was

385
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 13: like I'm strong, now because he was infirmed. So he

386
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 13: wanted me to see his you know, little prism push

387
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 13: up muscles, knuckles were all black from doing it on

388
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 13: you know he wanted.

389
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 10: I was like, yeah, you look good.

390
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 13: And then he went out with his friends and you know,

391
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 13: I hung out with a fainting The thing that really

392
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 13: hurt my feelings about him getting shot like that he

393
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 13: was with me.

394
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 10: I thought I was helping and go.

395
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 4: To the next part of his life, like grow.

396
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 13: I was like, we're gonna go to prison and then

397
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 13: get shot again. And I knew that second shooting wasn't.

398
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 13: The wounds he had the first time were in his.

399
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 10: Appendages, not in his lungs. I'm so disappointed. Yeah, and

400
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 10: he told me he was gonna it wasn't gonna make

401
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 10: it past twenty five. I always thought he was just

402
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 10: talking all the time.

403
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 13: That's legend put that in the book. I was like,

404
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 13: I'm not writing a book about you. Stop telling me that.

405
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 13: I'd be like, I'm never telling anybody anything about this experience.

406
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 13: I thought it was ridiculous for him to say he

407
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 13: wasn't gonna live past twenty five.

408
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 10: I treated him like I treated my little cousins that

409
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 10: make these statements about life. Yeah, so that hurt.

410
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: I can't wait people to your story. You lived a life, guy,

Speaker 2: like Morris? Ches here to talk reasonable doubt?

428
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,639

429
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: much he thinks he's more reasonable doubt. After that, and

430
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 3: then I know the reasonable doubt does look anything.

431

473
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 9: So everything was topping. I didn't working with her in

474
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 9: the cast. This role did.

475
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: Now for people that don't know what is reasonable doubt about,

476
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 3: because you're on season two. So if they don't know

477
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 3: what is it about, break it down.

478
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 14: You know, it's about this high powered, you know, black

479
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 14: female attorney, you know, who is about her business. You know,

480
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 14: she handles all of her business when she's when she's

481
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 14: in the office, when she's in court, you know, but

482
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 14: she's trying to juggle it. You know, she's a mother,

483
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 14: she's a wife, and sometimes you know, some of the.

484
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 8: Balls drop out of the air, you know what I mean.

485
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 14: She fails at times and she makes questionable decisions, makes

486
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 14: mistakes at times, you know, but it's about this woman.

487
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 8: It's about this marriage, this black marriage.

488
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 9: You know.

489
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 14: We get to see them trying to figure it out.

490
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 14: We get to see them making mistakes. We get to

491
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 14: see them, you know, really living their life in this

492
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 14: way that we don't often get to see on television.

493
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 14: Along with the courtroom drama of it all, you know,

494
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 14: we get to see her really in her element. Because

495
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 14: the show is loosely based on Sean Holly. Yeah, she's

496
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 14: a very high powered defense attorney in La you know,

497
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 14: and so we have all of those elements. It's a

498
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 14: good blend of the courtroom drama with the character driven

499
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 14: kind of piece.

500
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 4: You say, half of that business in court? Is that

501
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 4: all the business?

502
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 14: I mean, she does what she got to do anywhere,

503
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 14: anywhere and everywhere.

504
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 4: Did you see with Sean at all?

505
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 10: Yes?

506
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.

507
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 14: Before we started filming, we you know, she invited me

508
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 14: to her home and you know, we sat and we

509
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 14: talked for hours. You know, I got to really pick

510
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 14: her brain about how she chooses the cases.

511
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 8: That she decides to take on, because.

512
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 14: That's the thing you know, we really I think nailed

513
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 14: that in the show with the kinds of cases that

514
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 14: Jacks chooses to accept can sometimes cause issue with her

515
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 14: friends or her family. You know, why are you not

516
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 14: defending black women? Why did you choose to defend this

517
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 14: this man? And that's what Sean is about, you know,

518
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 14: And that's something that I admired or wanted to know

519
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 14: a little bit more about what goes into her selecting

520
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 14: the kind of cases that she chooses to represent.

521
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 2: Is it hard to leave your character on set?

522
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 8: Is it hard? No?

523
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 14: No, I've learned how to just make the separation. I've

524
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 14: learned how to make the separation, and especially with someone

525
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 14: like Jack's, you know, she she has a lot going on,

526
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 14: you know, so I'm faithful to just leave that there

527
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 14: and go home to normalcy.

528
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 6: You know.

529
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask actors, like, when you have to

530
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: play a traumatic scene, right, like.

531
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 2: When Ricky gets killed in Boys in the Hood.

532
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: Being that they play that so much on TV, does

533
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: that trigger you when you see it?

534
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 9: Like, do you feel that doesn't trigger me? One thing

535
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 9: that did trigger me when I did The First Best Man.

536
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 9: It was the first time that I had to be

537
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 9: such an emotional spacially. When I did the wedding scene.

538
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 9: That was crying, and I had to be in an

539
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 9: emotional space for so long. That triggered me for just

540
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 9: even thinking about it for at least at least five

541
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 9: to seven years.

542
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 4: When y'all get the TV.

543
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 9: Show, see I see, I had already, you know, as

544
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 9: an actor, I had grown and I kind of let

545
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 9: some stuff. You know, it's you know, as actors, you know,

546
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 9: we use our trauma in our pain to get there.

547
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 9: So I you know, I kind of worked on that,

548
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 9: but it triggered me for a long time on the

549
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 9: first Best Man.

550
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 2: Because you ever get tired of it? Because Boys of

551
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: the Hood was so long ago.

552
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 3: Did you ever realize how impactful that was going to

553
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: be when you when you shot it?

554
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: I didn't. I didn't.

555
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 9: I had no clue because when I when I, I mean,

556
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 9: I was a lead in the movie that nobody knew

557
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 9: who I was, and no one knew who Cuba was.

558
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 9: You know, people knew who Ice Cube was. Angela wasn't Angela,

559
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 9: Nia wasn't Nia. I mean, everybody was, you know, just

560
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 9: popping off. So I didn't think it was gonna be

561
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 9: that big.

562
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: Now, that's interesting what you said about the Best Man

563
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: because to being a role when the TV show came

564
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: where in that iteration of it, you know your wife

565
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: was deceased. Yes, you had to tap into that emotion

566
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: of being a man who lost their wife.

567
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 4: How did you leave that at home?

568
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 9: Well, so it's uh, leave that on the set round? Yeah, yeah,

569
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 9: so it's okay. So so that was the first best

570
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 9: man I had that. So the second best man was

571
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 9: tough because she was battling cancer and I had to

572
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 9: do a lot of emotional scenes then. So I've just

573
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 9: learned to manage kind of those emotions. I've learned to

574
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 9: deal with some of that trauma in a different way now.

575
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 4: And actually it's actually acting.

576
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 9: It's pretty much therapeutic because you're able to release certain things.

577
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 4: And so over the years, that's that's what's happened. Were

578
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 4: you a fan of Reasonable Doubt?

579
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: Season one?

580
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 4: I was, because I literally I was on it.

581
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 9: I was playing a Saturday basketball game and one of

582
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 9: one of the guys there he was like, oo, he said,

583
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 9: we normally after we play, he's you know, we talk

584
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 9: about stupid stuff, dude, stuff in the gym or whatever.

585
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 9: And then he just said, hey, have you guys seen

586
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 9: the show Reasonable Doubt? And I knew about the show

587
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 9: because I knew Elie was on it, I knew Amians.

588
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 9: I hadn't seen it yet. He was like, man, it

589
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 9: was just so odd to hear him say that on

590
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 9: the court, you know what I'm saying, And so he said,

591
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 9: you got to check it out. So yeah, So before

592
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 9: I did the show, I was definitely fan because I

593
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 9: watched it because he told me to.

594
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 10: And what was harder for you?

595
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 11: Because Jackson's different season one versus season two, what was

596
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 11: the harder draw for you as an actress, like pulling

597
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 11: from the experiences. Was it harder for season one or

598
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 11: harder for season two for you?

599
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 14: I think I would definitely say season two, just because

600
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 14: of you know, she's showing a lot more vulnerability as

601
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 14: a result of what happened in season one. Yes, you know,

602
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 14: so that just it required just like Morris was, you know,

603
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 14: I got to pull from some of those places, you know,

604
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 14: that kind of thing. So it was more of a

605
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 14: challenge in that way. You know, I had to decide

606
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 14: to open myself up.

607
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 3: We got more with Morris, Chesnut and Miati. When we

608
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 3: come back, She don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Good Morning.

609
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 2: Owning Everybody.

610
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 3: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarius, Charlamagne, the Guy we Are

611
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 3: the Breakfast Club were still kicking it with Morris Chestnut

612
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 3: and Miati Coronaldi. Of course, Reasonable Doubt Season two is

613
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: on Hulu everywhere. Now, Emma, you started off in soap operas.

614
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 3: Most people never leave that soap opera world, but you did.

615
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 3: So break down the soap opera world and what got

616
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: you in the soap opera I will first I want

617
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: to know how you got into acting. Because you're a

618
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 3: military child. Usually that means you're traveling all over the place.

619
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: Your parents are heavy into education. What got you into acting?

620
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 14: From the start, it was something that I always loved.

621
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 14: I always loved, but I didn't know that it could

622
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 14: be a choice to be a career, you know. And

623
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 14: for a long time, it was just fun, just a hobby.

624
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 14: And I thought that I had it planned, doubt. I

625
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 14: was going to go to law school. I was going

626
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 14: to be a lawyer. My father wanted me to go

627
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 14: to the military, but I said, Okay, I think I'm

628
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 14: gonna be a lawyer. But in high school I had

629
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 14: a girlfriend who also wanted to be a lawyer, and

630
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 14: we had our whole plan. It was gonna be Cornaldi

631
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 14: and Sweeny Incorporated, you know. But I realized, thankfully before

632
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 14: you know, graduation, Okay, no, I don't really want to

633
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 14: be a lawyer. I'm not trying to go to law

634
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 14: school like she was taking it serious and fill out

635
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 14: these SATs.

636
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 8: I'm like, am I doing all that?

637
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: Is she a lawyer?

638
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 6: Now?

639
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 14: She's a lawyer now? So we went in the right path.

640
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 14: I realized, No, I think I just I like the drama.

641
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 14: I like the suits and you know, all of that

642
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 14: in the courtroom. And so that's the moment when I

643
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 14: knew and I kind of started pursuing it at that point.

644
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 14: And this was in I graduated high school in Jersey.

645
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 14: My last two years were out there in Kansas. I

646
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 14: was all over the place, and then went back to

647
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 14: Jersey and really started studying and back and forth up

648
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 14: here to New York all my off off off Broadway

649
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 14: classes and all of that.

650
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 8: And then that was it.

651
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: That was it.

652
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 14: And my first role was that that role in Young

653
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 14: and Arrest, and that was because that was my showing.

654
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 14: She said to her, you know, that was me making it.

655
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 14: She says, you got to get him younger. Directed run

656
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 14: the restless until Victor I said Hi. And so the

657
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 14: bitter sweet moment about that for me is because my

658
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 14: mom passed before that happened, before she got to see

659
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 14: And so as soon as I got on the set,

660
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 14: I said, Victor, I just got to tell you know,

661
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 14: my mom just loves you so.

662
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 8: And that was a small that was a really small role.

663
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 14: And I think that's how I the reason why didn't

664
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 14: get caught up in it and staying there because it

665
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 14: was a small role, but it was truly one of

666
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 14: the most meaningful ones to me to this day because

667
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 14: of that.

668
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: Wow, that's so alarmed for your first your first scene,

669
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: Mars is a sex scene. Do you ever have to

670
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: tell these studios not to not to objectify you?

671
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: Because we heard MEPhI Man.

672
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: Once said he always, you know, pushed back against his

673
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: sex symbol status. You ever have to tell these studios like, look,

674
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, I know I'm Mars chestnut.

675
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: You can't be.

676
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 10: Explained, we would know the difference.

677
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: Do you ever feel like it being objectified maybe is

678
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: a better question.

679
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 4: I don't see that that way. You know.

680
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 9: It's almost like because people sometimes they ask me, they say,

681
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 9: do you get mad when people call you Ricky all

682
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 9: the time, and people see me on the street, and honestly,

683
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 9: the one thing about me is that I have never

684
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 9: ever forgotten where I come from, right, and and when

685
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 9: I was an actor, just starting out, trying to get

686
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 9: an agent, just trying to get a part, just say oh,

687
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 9: just please, somebody cast me.

688
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: I just want to be seen. I want to be

689
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 4: known so I can get more work.

690
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 9: And so it just so happens that that role that

691
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 9: I was dying to get to be able to get

692
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 9: more work was a role that it was.

693
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 4: It was.

694
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 9: It was a blessing that it's still relevant and people

695
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 9: still refer to it to this very day. So now

696
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 9: just because people say Ricky almost every day, I'm not

697
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 9: going to turn around and say, oh, man, I hate

698
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 9: when people call me Ricky.

699
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 4: Because I was so I would desire it so much.

700
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 9: So to your question about you know, studios, I don't

701
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 9: think they objectify me.

702
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 4: I think that.

703
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 9: I've been in the business a long time and they

704
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 9: the younger Morris would not have imagined that he would

705
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 9: be here to this very single.

706
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 4: Day after all these years.

707
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 9: So I'm just I'm just blessed and and I'm very

708
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 9: appreciative of the fact that they still want to cast

709
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 9: me because in our industry, you know, no one really

710
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 9: retires from our industry. Our industry retires us the phone

711
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 9: stops ringing. So as long as the phone is still ringing,

712
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 9: I'm gonna keep picking up. And I appreciate it.

713
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: But it's one thing to be a great actor what

714
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: you are, but it's another to be considered a heart drop. Right,

715
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: It's only like kind of like it's like Denzel Mars,

716
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: who else punts in that lane historically?

717
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: Michael B. Jordan's Michael, Yeah, he was.

718
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 4: Trying to say that, I know.

719
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 10: From Queen Sugar, Dark Skin. Queen Sugar.

720
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: Is the he's there.

721
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 4: Where we're at right now.

722
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 10: But I think, honestly, you did.

723
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 11: It's y'all level of It's like maybe two or three

724
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 11: that are to go to mainly you though, like you

725
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 11: get you do get a lot of the posts and

726
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 11: stuff online. A lot of them comes from Charlomy's Instagram.

727
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 9: Shut up, I think to the answer to that question

728
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 9: is for me, I don't. I don't focus on it

729
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 9: because you know, it's it's this is the type of industry.

730
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 9: There's you know, there's there's there's gonna be somebody else tomorrow.

731
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 9: There's gonna be somebody else the next day. So I

732
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 9: just focused. Honestly, I just try to focus on doing

733
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 9: the best job I can as an actor with these

734
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 9: job and if that comes with it, I'm appreciative of it.

735
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 9: If that's what people say, I'm appreciative of that. But

736
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 9: I don't I don't focus on that. I just have

737
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 9: to focus on the work because that's gonna keep me

738
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 9: here longer than being a You know, if people consider

739
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 9: sex and more.

740
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 3: The real more is shutting up. Was the sexiest man

741
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 3: alive in twenty fifteen? Reason I got to say that

742
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: because sometimes he puts his face there and ask like.

743
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 4: I've never done that.

744
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: But if you wanted to call him the sexiest man alive,

745
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: that's fine.

746
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: If you want to use me to do that, I've

747
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 2: never done that, y'all want y'all, I'm going to ask,

748
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: how does your wife deal with it all?

749
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: You know, with women hollering when you're allowed in the comments,

750
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: how does she how does she handle it?

751
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 6: Well?

752
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: I mean, my wife is a star in our family

753
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 4: for sure.

754
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 9: I mean she's the one that h I mean, she's

755
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 9: a star in the family, and she does and I'm

756
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 9: a homebody.

757
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 4: I'm home all the time.

758
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 9: And honestly, the older I've gotten, you know, I mean,

759
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 9: she's she's just not even. She's not stressed by it.

760
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 9: She's not even. She's just not she's not really interested

761
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 9: in the industry. She's it's like we've been together a

762
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 9: long long time and so you know, she knows what

763
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 9: it is. You know, I'm not going nowhere. Hopefully she's

764
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 9: not going anywhere. But uh, it's she's she's cool with it.

765
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 9: What about your kids, that's a that's an interesting question.

766
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 9: We've never really had the conversation about it. My son

767
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 9: has made has made comments about it.

768
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 2: Does he have jokes?

769
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: No, No, he doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't

770
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 4: have jokes.

771
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 9: He doesn't have jokes about it. Well, so that's a

772
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 9: good question we have. We have my son, and my

773
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 9: son's twenty six years old right now. You know, he

774
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 9: just turns tow seven, and we just basically have a

775
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 9: lot of father son conversations, and my conversations are more

776
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 9: gears towards preparing him for life and trying to get

777
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 9: him to see the world from different perspectives, primarily from

778
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 9: a from a business perspective, a young man who's gonna

779
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 9: be taking care of a family perspective. And he'll make

780
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 9: comments just in terms of when I'm trying to explain

781
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 9: certain things to him how things go in life.

782
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 4: He feels.

783
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 9: Sometimes he'll make a comment like, well, you haven't had

784
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,959
Speaker 9: to deal with such and such because such and such.

785
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 9: You know, but you know, and I keep having to

786

00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 9: you know, I you know, I slept in the room

788
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,719

792
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,080

793
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,640

794
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,680

Speaker 14: and and and kind and giving, you know what I mean,

813
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 14: in a way that you just may not expect for

814
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 14: someone who's been in the business for so long, for

815
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,840

820
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 9: the number one on the call sheet is the heartbeat

821
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 9: of the set. The set goes, how the number one

822
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 9: goes If the number one is not feeling good today.

823
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 9: The set's not gonna have a good day. If the

824
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 9: number one is not a good person, it's not a

825
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 9: set that you want to be on. She is literally

826
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,000

00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 4: Ever worked with.

828
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 9: She she I mean, this is is so hard because

829
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 9: when you're when you're when you come to a set,

830
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 9: you know, we have the scenes, we have our lines,

831
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 9: and we and we have to worry about our character.

832
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 9: And she knew everybody's name on the set, everybody's name.

833
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 9: And I've been on set. I've been on set right

834
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 9: now for six months. I still on even probably about

835
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 9: seven names out of like one hundred people. And that

836
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 9: was just so impressive to me. And it was really

837
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 9: she was really inspiring to me just to see how

838
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 9: she was doing that. And she made me mad one

839
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 9: day because I always like to be when they call

840
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 9: us to set, I like to be the first one there.

841
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 9: And she beat me one time. I said, oh, I

842
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 9: can't have that. I cannot have her beat me to

843
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 9: set because I gotta be there. Yeah, I said, I got,

844
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 9: I can have that. So she's just in everything that

845
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 9: she does, and she with all of that, you know,

846
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 9: she had her daughter there. She's taking care of her daughter.

847
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 9: She has, you know, she's carrying the load on this show.

848
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 9: She did it so gracefully, eloquently and just an incredible actress.

849
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 4: So I just have a huge She's inspiring.

850
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 2: Now, was there somebody you talking about?

851
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 4: Number ones?

852
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 3: Is there somebody that you say, no matter how much

853
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 3: they pay you, you without saying names, that you just won't

854
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 3: do a movie with them because they just don't act, right?

855
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 14: Oh No, No.

856
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 3: No, theod because someone popped into my head.

857
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 8: But I don't that's just based off of what you hear.

858
00:37:58,520 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know what I mean.

859
00:37:59,440 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 5: I don't.

860
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 8: I can't jump someone based on that. So no, I

861
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 8: wouldn't say that.

862
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: Morrison, Oh oh yeah, I have I have one, you know.

863
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 9: Yeah, he doesn't. I'm not sure if he's I don't

864
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 9: think he's done anything too much lately. But yeah, it's Yeah.

865
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 9: It can be a really, really really bad set. It's

866
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 9: just not a good it's not a working it's not

867
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 9: a free working environment to be an artist when you

868
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 9: have everyone walking on eggshells and this person just dictates

869
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 9: the whole mood, just the of the set, and it

870
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 9: just makes it so challenging, not even to just do

871
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 9: your job just to even be there, because we spend

872
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 9: twelve thirteen hours a day. It's like a family. You know,

873
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 9: you spend more time on a set than you do

874
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 9: your family.

875
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 10: So yeah, I mean, I say, I have a question

876
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 10: for you.

877
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 11: I had heard Eric Alexander talk about how when black

878
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 11: women play strong roles on TV, it boxes them in.

879
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 11: It's like a good thing because your representation, but it

880
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 11: can be a bad and because it boxes you into this,

881
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 11: like you always have that power, you always have to

882
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 11: be tough and rough.

883
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 10: Do you think about that when you're picking roles?

884
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 11: I know, because Jackson's becoming a household now household emaw,

885
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 11: like people love the show. Do you think about that?

886
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 11: Do you think how that will affect you? Has that

887
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 11: been you know, something you and your team I talked about.

888
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 14: You know, I understand what she's saying about that because

889
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 14: that is you know, it's it's almost can even be

890
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 14: a stigma even that's placed upon us as black women.

891
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 14: But it's not something that I think about because there's

892
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 14: an element of it.

893
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 8: That is true. It's there.

894
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 4: We are strong.

895
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 14: We've had to be strong for so long for so

896
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 14: many reasons, So you know, it's not something that I

897
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 14: feel like I have to lead with or something that

898
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 14: I have to be cognizant of, because I don't. It doesn't,

899
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 14: it doesn't. It doesn't bother me in that way, you

900
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 14: know what I mean? And so I think I do

901
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 14: choose roles, not necessarily. If I see a role and

902
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 14: it says, Okay, she's a strong woman, that would have

903
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 14: you You know, I know, I'm going to put my

904
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 14: own spin on it, and I may not feel like

905
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 14: she's strong in the way that they think she's strong,

906
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 14: you know what I mean, So I can make a

907
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 14: different interpretation, interpretation on it.

908
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 4: Gotcha, I know y'all got to go. So I got

909
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 4: my final question.

910
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: Other than when I'm around Mark my, do you ever

911
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: walk in the room and say I'm the most handsome man?

912
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 4: No?

913
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 14: No, did say that one day when we were.

914
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 2: That I don't want to. You're in the family Feud video, right,

Speaker 14: Ava a direct?

920
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 8: I think that's how we met.

921
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,280

954
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: Yes, don'gy to Dayvid goes to a twenty one year

955
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: old woman named Juniper Bryson, and she's been charged with

956
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: the sale our purchase of a child and she is

957
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: currently being held on the thirty thousand dollar bond because

958
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: she tried to sell her house on Facebook.

959
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 4: Let's go to ABC thirteen Eye Witness News for the report.

960
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 8: Please she led us on to believe that we were chosen.

961
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 7: Wendy Williams and her husband were one of many families,

962
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 7: according to court records, hopeful to be the parents of

963
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 7: this beautiful baby boy born on September twenty fourth. The

964
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 7: only difference between Williams and the other families is she

965
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,959
Speaker 7: was in the delivery room with twenty one year old

966
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 7: Juniper Bryson. Williams didn't know Bryson, neither did the other

967
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 7: prospective parents. They just responded to Facebook posts asking for

968
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 7: someone to adopt Bryson's baby. Bryson chose Williams, she believes,

969
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 7: because she was local and Bryson went into labor early.

970
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 7: She stayed at the hospital for three days with Bryson

971
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 7: and the newborn who tested positive for drugs, munting to

972
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 7: court records. But then Williams says she started getting messages

973
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 7: on Facebook from people saying Bryson was trying to sell

974
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 7: the baby. After finding out what she did, Williams contacted

975
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 7: CPS and police were called. Investigators obtained conversations with at

976
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 7: least seven people on social media where they say Bryson

977
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 7: was asking for money in exchange for the baby, including

978
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 7: this one where she says, quote, I'd ask for a

979
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 7: minimum of one hundred and fifty bucks up front.

980
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 4: That's it, one hundred and fifty.

981
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 2: I gotta get a discount if the baby test positive

982
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: for drugs.

983
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: Okay, sot a meth, little crack baby. I'm not paying

984
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty Yeah, one hundred dollars. That's fit

985
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: nothing more than nothing less. Now, look, she's twenty one

986
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: years old, and I have a theory that after the

987
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: year two thousand, they really just started making any old

988
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: kind of human. Okay, I think God sold the company

989
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: the company that makes humans. God sold it. Let them

990
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: keep the name of the designs, but the ingredients don't

991
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: hit the say. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not

992
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and act like the humans.

993
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 2: I grew up with was much better.

994
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I grew up in the era where some humans

995
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: would have babies and then throw the babies in a dumpsterum. Okay,

996
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: Tupac wrote a whole song about it, Brenda's Got a Baby,

997
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 1: and that was based on a true story. So I'm

998
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and act holy at it now.

999
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: But this is exactly why women should be able to

1000
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: have abortions if they want one. Okay, Texas has some

1001
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: of the strictest abortion laws in the country. Abortion is

1002
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: completely banned, except for limited circumstances. This twenty one year

1003
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: old girl has to carry the term. She reaches out

1004
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: to a family connection asking if they know any families

1005
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: looking to adopt.

1006
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: Imagine looking for a plug for adoption. That's what she did.

1007
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 4: She was looking for a plug for adoption, an adoption booster.

1008
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: But exactly and she didn't even go about the process

1009
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 1: of doing the adoption right, so she ended up putting

1010
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: her baby on Facebook marketplace. You can buy a furniture

1011
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: home to core rugs and newborn babies all on Facebook

1012
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: Marketplace now. I asked Lauren Lorossa earlier if there was

1013
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: any newborn babies on Facebook marketplace. I just asked you

1014
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: to look. I don't know. Maybe this is normal and

1015
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: we don't know about it.

1016
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,479
Speaker 11: I ain't see none. I also checked sheen a baby baby,

1017
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 11: come get this baby. I checked TMU for baby daddy.

1018
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 11: I ain't seen none of them available.

1019
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Now what's interesting to me about this situation

1020
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: is Juniper posted in a Facebook group aimed at connecting

1021
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: birth mothers with prospective adoptive parents. So you know, she

1022
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: indicated that she was located in Houston, but willing to

1023
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 1: travel if an arrangement could be made.

1024
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 4: This poor girl really thought that this is how this works.

1025
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: Okay, I just get in a Facebook group with mothers

1026
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: looking to be adoptive parents, and I sell this seven

1027
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 1: pounds four houns born to a joy to the highest bidder.

1028
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: She was literally at the hospital waiting for the highest bidder.

1029
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: You had to pay extra for the placenta, but she

1030
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: would sell you the newborn below market rate. Now authorities

1031
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: were notified after social media users raise concerns about the

1032
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: legitimacy of the adoption. I've never claimed to be the

1033
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: highest graded weed in the dispensary, but unless something has

1034
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: changed drastically in the world. No adoptions happen on Facebook.

1035
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: You just heard Lauren say, you can't go on Facebook

1036
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: marketplace Okay.

1037
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 4: To buy a baby.

1038
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: They don't have no babies for sale, and you don't

1039
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: get paid for adopting a child. And it's illegal to

1040
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: receive payment for putting a child up for adoption. So

1041
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: it's nothing left to see here, folks. Please give Juniper

1042
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: Bryceon of Houston, Texas the biggest Hea hull. Now, just

1043
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, hypothetically, if you were to buy a new barn,

1044
00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: where would you want it from?

1045
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 4: Timo? Was I probably go sen Geene?

1046
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 10: Right?

1047
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,919
Speaker 11: Yeah, I feel like I know more people who've ordered

1048
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 11: off machine, so my baby would be legit.

1049
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1050
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: And then you know what, Timu, if they show you

1051
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: the picture of the baby, the baby ain't gonna look

1052
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: the way it looks and when you get it.

1053
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, I feel like Sheen, you can like you know,

1054
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 11: how you wait until you post photos of your baby

1055
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,479
Speaker 11: to all the all the the features and all that coming.

1056
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 10: How they be waiting.

1057
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 11: But Sheen, I think they would show you all that,

1058
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 11: like you would get the before, the after, you get

1059
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:26,680

1083
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: loved your story, though, because you know you already a

1084
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: pitted me of taking advantage of a moment. He's an opportunity, right,

1085
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: because you were so only supposed to be on one episode,

1086
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: the episode How'd that Happen Again?

1087
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 15: Charlamagne, I was I was just a black kid at

1088
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 15: one of the Sega Jackson start.

1089
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 4: It really wasn't that deep.

1090
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 15: My dad told me that I could get one of

1091
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 15: anything whenever I got a job, because I was resisting

1092
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 15: going on auditions. At this point, I was all five

1093
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 15: foot four of me, was ready to play basketball.

1094
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,760
Speaker 4: We all getting basketball talks at some boy.

1095
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 15: And I wasn't booking jobs at age twelve too much

1096
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 15: because a lot of the stereotypical roles.

1097
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 4: I just wasn't fitting it. My profile I had, like I.

1098
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 15: Said, at braceist on five four, and I saw this

1099
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 15: audition come through and I was like, I can get

1100
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 15: the shot.

1101
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 4: What was it? What was it? What did it say?

1102
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 15: The description I included in the book was just, you know,

1103
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 15: nerdy character. As a matter of fact, I was described

1104
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 15: as a Rick Moranis type. So that just shows you

1105
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 15: what the writer's room was already doing the cast of

1106
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 15: the Black Kid and asking for Rick Morani's type. So

1107
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 15: I actually read that literally, and then I went and

1108
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 15: got the Best of Saturday Night Live VHS tape that

1109
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 15: we had in our house and I found Ed Grimley

1110
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 15: and I basically was doing a black kid's version of

1111
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 15: Ed Grimley, and it wasn't really a good impersonation, quite frankly,

1112
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 15: but because nobody thought that was my inspiration, it became mine.

1113
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: Did you get the second genesis? I was just always curious,

1114
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: did you want to act?

1115
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 4: Acting was just something that I just didn't after.

1116
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 15: I mean doing this, I was three, So you know,

1117
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 15: did you want to do anything that your parents got

1118
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 15: you started when.

1119
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 4: You were three?

1120
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 15: It was just it just came naturally. I didn't resist it,

1121
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 15: and I enjoyed it. Of course, you always joined and

1122
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 15: enjoyed getting a day off of school to go someplace

1123
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 15: and and yeah, exactly and have some fun. But as

1124
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 15: I got to be around the age of twelve, I

1125
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 15: didn't really want to act more.

1126
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 4: I wanted to play play basketball.

1127
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 15: But once I got the show, then I started getting

1128
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 15: reps in at a different pace. And now, once you

1129
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 15: get reps in, you prove yourself good at something proficient,

1130
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 15: Like I remember the exact episode where I'm like.

1131
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 4: Oh, this is fun and this audience is my toy.

1132
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 15: And the episode is called the Big Fix where I

1133
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 15: took Lower on a date for the first time because

1134
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 15: Eddie needed to pay off a bet and I leveled

1135
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 15: this French restaurant.

1136
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 4: Now, before we get to episode.

1137
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's the first episode where I'm like, I can

1138
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 15: hear the audience different. I can see it in my

1139
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 15: eyes when I watched the episode.

1140
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 3: Before we get into that part of it. Is it

1141
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 3: true that you tried out for Rudy Huxtable that boy?

1142
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did the root.

1143
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 4: That's the naint. Rudy was poor boy.

1144
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,959
Speaker 2: Oh wow, it was poor boy.

1145
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 15: So there was a debate there, and you know, he

1146
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 15: obviously went out over the network at the end, and.

1147
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 4: And Kisha got the roll. How did you get Oh,

1148
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 4: it came down to me and her. That's it.

1149
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 15: They auditioned us all day. I actually never forget that audition.

1150
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 15: They always bring in like two or three options for

1151
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,280
Speaker 15: each role. But they put us in one room.

1152
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 4: For like several hours and kept paring us.

1153
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 15: And going in and out, and then at the end

1154
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 15: they said, hey, listen, we are pressed for time, so

1155
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 15: we will take you. You, you, and you and the

1156
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 15: rest of you. Thank you for coming out. So you

1157
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 15: had all these crying kids just pouring out of that

1158
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 15: building that had been there all day.

1159
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 4: And I remember my mom was like she just had a.

1160
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 15: Huge reaction to that. She was like, do you ever

1161
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 15: react like that to losing an audition?

1162
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 4: Again?

1163
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 2: Are you crying?

1164
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: Oh?

1165
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 15: We every I mean, that's a cold way to lose

1166
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 15: a job when you're seven years old.

1167
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 10: Did you really understand it to be picked right in front?

1168
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 15: And I've been right in front because generally it happened.

1169
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 15: You know, your agent will call you or your agent

1170
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 15: didn't call you. And my mom was never the type

1171
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 15: to call the agent also and be like did we

1172
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 15: or did we not get the job?

1173
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 4: And a lot of parents do that.

1174
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 11: But did you really understand at seven years old, like,

1175
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 11: oh my god, I'm losing this job? This is like

1176
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 11: what this could be?

1177
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 4: Well?

1178
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 10: Were you were just like a kid and it was

1179
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,439
Speaker 10: like no, so you cried like what did you think?

1180
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 4: No, Well, we were supposed to move to New York. Oh,

1181
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 4: so they were.

1182
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 15: They had already talked to my parents through our agent

1183
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 15: and everything, and my dad was trying to figure out

1184
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 15: because he was just graduating from dental school.

1185
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 4: At the time.

1186
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 15: My dad was trying to figure out how to do

1187
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 15: this from New York. They had practically said the job

1188
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 15: is yours and then a little girl came walking in.

1189
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 4: Damn.

1190
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 15: I mean they do that kind of stuff all the

1191
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 15: time now that I'm adult and I know that, but

1192
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 15: at the time, it was just it was just very shocking.

1193
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 15: And then you've become a big fan of the show, right,

1194
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 15: so you're looking at the show and it's like, oh, man,

1195
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 15: that could have been me.

1196
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 4: You're doing that, But that passes too.

1197
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: Especially when you end up with your own iconic role

1198
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 2: in the future.

1199
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 4: Right. I didn't even look at it that way, seriously,

1200
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 4: I just during that time show.

1201
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 15: I'm telling you, man, it's wild to watch fame now

1202
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 15: because everybody kind of believes like they can have a

1203
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 15: famous moment and it should come easy to them.

1204
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 4: But back then, like you know, if you.

1205
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 15: Got a chance to meet Magic Johnson, you got a

1206
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,280
Speaker 15: chance to meet Chatty Jackson in person. They were inaccessible,

1207
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 15: they were all talented, they were you know, there was

1208
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 15: an aura.

1209
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 4: Literally.

1210
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 15: I remember the time I met Michael Jordan for the

1211
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 15: first time and he crept up behind me at the

1212
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 15: Magic Johnson Midsummer Nights Classic, and it's just like he

1213
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 15: literally had like this little glow around him, this black

1214
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 15: Jesus glow around him, and and it's different now, it

1215
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 15: really is.

1216
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 4: So you didn't think you could be that. You see

1217
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 4: what I'm saying now, I don't think that.

1218
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 2: I don't think there is real celebrity now.

1219
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 15: Oh now, no celebrity has completely been deluded. Yeah, it

1220
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 15: really is. I'll disagree and say, there's still some people

1221
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 15: who have it.

1222
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 4: I can you know, I can see it.

1223
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 15: There's some people where they walk in and they have

1224
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 15: that natural it factor where it's like, okay, you just

1225
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 15: you affect the room, you know what I'm saying. Like

1226
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 15: even when Will Smith used to come in or the

1227
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 15: NBA All Star Games, when Will was in the room,

1228
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:29,720
Speaker 15: it was just different.

1229
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 2: That's just arato.

1230
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 15: Yeah that's exactly so. But that's but that's traditional celebrity

1231
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 15: this stuff. Now, like I said, it's just it can

1232
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 15: feel real temporary and it's like you ain't got the

1233
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 15: it factor, but you got the light on.

1234
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 10: You did.

1235
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 3: The cast like you because you went from just supposed

1236
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 3: to be one episode to taking over the whole thing.

1237
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 3: So did they like it? There had to be some

1238
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 3: resentment a little bit. It's like Lord nerdy kid coming

1239
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 3: in here, Like I said, it was, it was. It

1240
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 3: was weird at first.

1241
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 15: The kids and I we worked it out the easiest

1242
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 15: because they had to hear a lot of.

1243
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,240
Speaker 4: Things that some of their parents who even saying.

1244
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 15: And you know, when you're a kid and you're hearing

1245
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 15: what your parents are saying, you're just gonna follow suit that.

1246
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 4: But Darius and Kelly and I we became brothers and sisters.

1247
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 4: That's our puberty.

1248
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 15: So I just feel like the division really kind of

1249
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 15: took place more along the lines of the adults were

1250
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 15: the adults and the kids were the kids.

1251
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: You would think that at some point in life people

1252
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,760
Speaker 1: would understand that y'all are a team and it doesn't

1253
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: matter who the star of the team is if the

1254
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: team is winning.

1255
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the magic words you say is you would.

1256
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 2: Think, yeah, yeah, but I would it.

1257
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 4: I mean, after all of these years, we haven't learned that.

1258
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 2: Even when you use the Shaq and Kobe.

1259
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 15: Example like that's you know, you can't change the way

1260
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 15: people are gonna think when they when they're coming from

1261
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 15: a place of ego. You know, I did a lot

1262
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 15: to extend our run because the reality was.

1263
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 4: She was about to get canceled. I know, but that

1264
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 4: in fact, I get it.

1265
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 15: You can say that I don't need to to lean

1266
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 15: in on that, you know, but you know, whether if

1267
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 15: it was keeping my hair to cut the same way.

1268
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 15: I mean, it got to the point where I was

1269
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 15: sick of my own haircut or staying out of the gym,

1270
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 15: not working out, you know that sucked and playing basketball

1271
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 15: and finally in my scene they change the pants. Yeah,

1272
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 15: they maybe change in the final season. It was like,

1273
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 15: no more jeans. He doesn't wear any gens. So I

1274
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:01,440

00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 2: the final.

1291
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 11: Ball can tell you that it was getting a little

1292
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 11: awkward to see the bulge.

1293
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:57,879
Speaker 10: That's what the pote said.

1294

1300
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 10: An uncomfortable note.

1301
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 4: We don't know.

1302
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 11: I feel like you said it in private, like you

Speaker 11: pulled my family to the side and we have a

1304
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 11: very closed discussion.

Speaker 4: Talk about your son's bultit wild Bright.

00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 2: You know, Steve Erkele.

1312
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:42,919
Speaker 3: Now we were talking about when you were turning into

1313
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 3: the star. Right, So at first you didn't have a

1314
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 3: dress room. Now you got the biggest dress room. So

1315
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 3: how was that change?

1316
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 4: Money?

1317
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 2: I'm so money change.

1318
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 15: Well, the thing about money, which was cool is that

1319
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 15: my mom was so petrified the show would get canceled anyway,

1320
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,439
Speaker 15: that she never bought a new car for the first

1321
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 15: four seasons of the show.

1322
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 4: You know, my mom was that.

1323
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 15: I think that's why I'm so passionate about the protective

1324
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 15: job that my parents did. They did so much to

1325
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 15: try to keep me attached to normal life, right, you know,

1326
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 15: they didn't get new cars themselves.

1327
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 4: My mom demanded that I went to public school. I

1328
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 4: went to public school.

1329
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 15: During the entire time, but they't but we didn't have

1330
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 15: cell phones. We didn't have all we had cell phone

1331
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 15: but they were big bricks at that time, but we

1332
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,280
Speaker 15: didn't have smartphones to invade the privacy to that degree

1333
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 15: and let everybody know.

1334
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 4: What school he goes to, at least on a nationwide level.

1335
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 15: So you know, I would pop into school like every

1336
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 15: two weeks to three weeks, and you know, that was

1337
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 15: something I actually enjoyed doing, kind of like a magic

1338
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 15: trick because I could go in and I could take tests,

1339
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 15: I could raise my hand, I could answer answer questions

1340
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 15: from the teacher, and my peers are looking at me like,

1341
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,280
Speaker 15: how do you know this stuff? It's like I study

1342
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 15: on set too. How was school did you ever get

1343
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 15: bullied because people.

1344
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 4: Looked at you.

1345
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 2: You know, that's the whole thing. There's the whole thing.

1346
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 15: It was like the first school I was attending at

1347
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 15: the time, I was the only black kid at the

1348
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 15: entire school, which was our we two. It was half Asian,

1349
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 15: it was half white, and now it's sense taking over

1350
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 15: all Asian. When I'd go back and past that school,

1351
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 15: and you know, that's all, you know, the usual stuff.

1352
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 15: Can I touch your hair and you know, not getting

1353
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 15: invited to buy Mitzvah's and all that kind of stuff.

1354
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 15: And then that all changed as soon as I got

1355
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 15: on the show. Hey you want to go to the

1356
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 15: Laker game with me? And you know, my mom wants

1357
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 15: your agent number. She thinking about putting me in the business.

1358
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 15: And now I'm suddenly so popular. So I left that

1359
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 15: school and then I went to what I like to call, like,

1360
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 15: you know, the Joe Clark School, the lean on Me Light.

1361
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 15: In that case, I was just I stood out a

1362
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 15: little too much and it also raised my hand too much.

1363
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 15: And I had a teacher that liked me, and I

1364
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 15: liked this last of the two. And you know at

1365
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 15: schools like that, they don't like those kind of relationships.

1366
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 15: So ran into problems there. And then my mom found

1367
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 15: the school that was the porch that was just warm

1368
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 15: enough for me. And in three bear story analogy and

1369
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 15: and now was South Pasadena High School, and they kind

1370
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 15: of had to sprinkle everybody.

1371
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 4: It was Asian, it was Mexican, it was black. It

1372
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 4: was wonderful.

1373
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 15: And I had a great principal named Ben Rameirez may

1374
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 15: he rest in peace, who just you know, kind of

1375
00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 15: went out of his way to make sure that I

1376
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 15: was always welcome on camp.

1377
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 11: So, because even in your book you talk about having

1378
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 11: your dressing room kind of like set up like aress.

1384
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 4: the NBA just this was different.

1385
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:15,080

00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 15: could do certain things. And the set decorator for our

1390
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 15: show transformed the second room in my dressing room into

1391
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 15: an actual NBA locker room. So I had all the

1392
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 15: different lockers and you know, that's where I would change

1393
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:35,520

1399
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 4: up are in hindsight? Were you really difficult to work?

1400
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 13: No?

1401
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. You know because Reginald Johnson said that.

1402
00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 15: Okay, okay, so let me make it easy for you.

1403
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,959
Speaker 15: How come you never heard that from the kids? Kelly

1404
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 15: speaks Arius is everywhere is everywhere? How come you never

1405
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 15: heard of real again?

1406
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1407
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,439
Speaker 4: You know, when you when you leave a show.

1408
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 15: First of all, the difference between movie started and TV

1409
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 15: startum is when your movie start, you still star, even

1410
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 15: if you don't have a movie out. When you a

1411
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 15: TV star, unless you're on TV.

1412
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 4: You're not a starting. And that's just the way the

1413
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 4: business treats.

1414
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 15: So I think people go through a lot of personal

1415
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 15: trauma sometimes after a show is gone off the air, divorces, investments,

1416
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 15: maybe they go right, et cetera, et cetera. And it

1417
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 15: causes people to look back on things with kind of

1418
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 15: a jaded look, and it was like, man, we had fun.

1419
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 4: We did.

1420
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 15: Even the pictures I picked out for the book. You know,

1421
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 15: I wanted to show pictures of us chilling. You know,

1422
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 15: I wanted to show me, Reggie and Darius, you know,

1423
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,919
Speaker 15: chilling in Paris when we shot two episodes in Paris.

1424
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 4: We're the only black show to ever shoot in Europe.

1425
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 4: That was a big deal.

1426
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: You know.

1427
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 4: We had this I'll never forget.

1428
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 15: We had this giant, twelve thousand dollars meal at the

1429
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 15: top of the Eiffel Tower.

1430
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 4: As a cast.

1431
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 15: Oh, I'm glad you asked. My mom took that bill

1432
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 15: and handed the production because she had the cloud.

1433
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 4: To do that. But Joe Bury's there, Reggie there, Well,

1434
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 4: we was balling at the top. But again you balling.

1435
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 15: So you know, it's almost kind of like when you

1436
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 15: hear Scotti Pittman talking about the Bulls.

1437
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 4: Now, it's like, Scotty, you can't say nothing nice about

1438
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 4: the bulls?

1439
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 12: Have you?

1440
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 4: He was rock stars? You and Mike didn't kick it

1441
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 4: at all?

1442
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 6: You should That's how.

1443
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 10: You remember it.

1444
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 11: Have you recently talked to any casts, because I know

1445
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 11: Joe Marie pay and like she had come out and

1446
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 11: said that you guys had a little whatever.

1447
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 4: That's what you fight each other.

1448
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, Like, can you first of all clarify that story

1449
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 10: because that's just a while.

1450
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 4: No, there's just there's nothing to clarify.

1451
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 15: I'm talking about a coworker of over thirty years ago,

1452
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 15: and I was a miner.

1453
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 4: You don't think if there was any validity of that,

1454
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 4: they wouldn't have come out.

1455
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 10: I'm like, wow, so nothing happened.

1456
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 14: I mean.

1457
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 4: No, but I'm not I'm not getting in it back

1458
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 4: and forth.

1459
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 15: I'm sorry, I'm just doing too good getting it back

1460
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 15: and forth, you know, with a woman who's over seventy

1461
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 15: and I've been kind of like mentally ingrained.

1462
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 4: To not fight with my elders, Like, all right, that's

1463
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 4: the way you saw it. Cool, it is what it is.

1464
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 11: Well, she recently said on the stage, I think where

1465
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 11: I forget where they were at, but the cast was there.

1466
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 11: You weren't there, and she said that, like, you know,

1467
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 11: she wished that you were there, and if you were there,

1468
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 11: she would hug you, and she kind of you know

1469
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 11: that whole thing.

1470
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 10: So have y'all talked or why.

1471
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 15: Does what she have to say hold so much more

1472
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 15: validity than what my other cast members have to say,

1473
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 15: I'm just curious.

1474
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 10: I think, oh, I think that the age thing does

1475
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 10: play a factor. What you say, you know what I mean?

1476
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 10: I think that definitely plays a factor as well.

1477
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 11: But I think she's one of the first people that alleged,

1478
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 11: like the bad stuff that I saw come out and

1479
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 11: be like, man, we should just hug it out.

1480
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 10: I wanted to know. It made me wonder like, have

1481
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 10: y'all talked, like what changed?

1482
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 15: So the people that I talked to regularly is Kelly

1483
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 15: and Darius Neggain. I don't call them Laura Netty, so

1484
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 15: I you know, I called Kelly about this book, you know,

1485
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 15: and we spoke.

1486
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 4: Extensively, and you know, Kelly called me two weeks ago.

1487
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 4: But it's weird for us. By the way.

1488
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 15: Also when we go out and eat or anything like that.

1489
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 15: You know, we like little back rooms and stuff like

1490
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 15: freak out exactly if people saw if people saw me

1491
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 15: and Kelly just at Crustaceans in Beverly Hills, what it

1492
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 15: tends to turn into a big Hey, can I get

1493
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 15: a selfie?

1494
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 2: Fast?

1495
01:01:55,840 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 4: So you know, data, so you know, we keep it private.

1496
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 15: But I have a very good relationship with all the

1497
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 15: cast members who've ever wanted a relationship with me beyond

1498
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 15: the show, and I don't have anything negative to say

1499
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 15: about Reggie when people ask me who is your favorite

1500
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 15: scene partner? I'm like the chemistry I had with Reginald

1501
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 15: vel Johnson. I remember the episode where it clicked for us,

1502
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 15: It's called Box Card Blues, when we were stuck in

1503
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 15: the train together all these cows and Steve is just

1504
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 15: getting on his nerves, and you know, Reggie just couldn't

1505
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 15: look at me without breaking up, without you know, without

1506
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 15: breaking character, and we just we developed this amazing chemistry.

1507
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 15: But adults are adults and they're going through adult things too.

1508
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 15: And also I'm a kid, so you know what I'll

1509
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 15: tell you one way, maybe I could have been annoying.

1510
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 15: I dribbled my basketball everywhere. If I was in school,

1511
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 15: did you let what need you all said?

1512
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 4: Boom boom? Basketball? Basketball? Basketball? But adults get annoyed when

1513
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 4: a kid is just dribbling and bouncing the ball all

1514
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 4: over the place. Is that difficult old you to talk

1515
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 4: about thirteen fourteen years old?

1516
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I would feel like adults

1517
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: would have a little bit more.

1518
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 15: I'm approaching it from a very self where you know standpoint.

1519
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 15: So I'm like, okay, yeah, no, that's and I remember

1520
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 15: Joyce Web, one of our script supervisors, be like, oh

1521
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 15: here it comes with the basketball, just like okay, you know.

1522
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 15: I'm like, but if that's that translates twenty five years

1523
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 15: later to being difficult, I'll take it.

1524
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 3: We got more with Julia White when we come back.

1525
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:25,280

Speaker 15: Steve and Eddie get hot at the dice table and

01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 15: they're rolling to die and this woman is supposed to

1541
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 15: give me a kid just planting on on me before

1542
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 15: my last dice roll, and during rehearsals all week, she had.

1543
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 4: Just pretty much given me a pack.

1544
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 15: It was just a pack, yeah, because you just go

1545
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 15: through the motions, but with that hot live studio audience there, man,

1546

01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 15: And so when I pulled back, this was your first time,

1548
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 15: because yeah, I had never kissed the girl.

1549
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 10: I said, how did you know what to do?

1550
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 6: I did.

1551
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 4: I wasn't. First of all, I wasn't even planning for that.

1552
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 15: I know you're supposed to put your lips together, but

1553
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 15: I didn't know that anything else was really supposed to

1554
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 15: happen to them.

1555
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 4: I wasn't. I wasn't seasoned it was.

1556
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 15: And so she does it, and my whole my thinking

1557
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 15: at the time was do not break character, do not

1558
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 15: ruin a good take. You know, That's what you just

1559
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 15: kind of taught as as a comedic actor and as

1560
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 15: a kid. And so when I went to my dressing room,

1561
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 15: I just kind of involuntarily tears start coming down my

1562
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 15: face because I was just like, that was weird. And

1563
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,479
Speaker 15: then my dad corners me and he's like, what's wrong.

1564
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 15: Exact the producer comes back, like what's wrong? And it

1565
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:55,959
Speaker 15: was just like, you know, like she put her tongue

1566
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 15: in my mouth.

1567
01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:59,959
Speaker 2: I'm surprised your mother, and you know, it was so funny.

1568
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 15: Everybody says that, but it was like my father was

1569
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 15: present and was dealing with the issue, so there was

1570
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 15: no reason to inject. And once it was revealed what happened,

1571
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 15: they all started laughing.

1572
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 2: Not the mento movement, my dad, my dad, my dad's left.

1573
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 4: No, do not find this woman, do not troll this

1574
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 4: woman at all.

1575
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 15: No, I'm serious, because it's like that's one of the

1576
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 15: things that I'm very protective of is we have to

1577
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 15: embrace what double standards were, leave them in the past.

1578
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 4: But it's okay, like I can laugh at it.

1579
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 15: I'm saying, like from the time that it happened to

1580
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 15: my dad and the executi producer coming in to me

1581
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 15: walking back out on stage to do now the next.

1582
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 4: Scenes, even the crew Hot five, she put it on

1583
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 4: your young fellow. You hung in there, you did your thing,

1584
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 4: and it was like it was very clear to me.

1585
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 15: All the signals that I was getting was that might

1586
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 15: have been yucky the way it went down, but apparently

1587
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 15: I'm going to get a lot.

1588
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 4: More of that. So Cheesemo says, yeah, okay, all right,

1589
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 4: go with the flow.

1590
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: What about the trauma you went through because it was

1591
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 1: immediately after that scene they told you that you can't

1592
01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 1: wear pants anymore.

1593
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 4: You know what, I see, I see how you're doing.

1594
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 4: You'll be here. We tip your waitresses.

1595
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 11: I know in the book you talk about the meeting

1596
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 11: that you had with the exact about the remaker to

1597
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 11: spin off the reboot. Your version that you wanted to happen,

1598
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 11: in my opinion, was way better. I don't know if

1599
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 11: you want to say it, want people to read the book,

1600
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 11: but was way better than what they had pitched to

1601
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 11: you than you Will we ever get that, and can you?

1602
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 10: Could you do that on your own?

1603
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Listen?

1604
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 4: First of all, you can't do it on your own.

1605
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 6: You know.

1606
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 15: That's the thing about television that people have to respect.

1607
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 15: It's the only art form I feel that still has gatekeeping,

1608
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 15: still very.

1609
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 4: Much in place.

1610
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 15: And you can either be bitter about it or you

1611
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 15: can fight the good fight and look for the person

1612
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 15: that's gonna be your champion.

1613
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 4: That's just it is what it is.

1614
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 15: I was never offered a reboot. I always want to

1615
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 15: make that very clear, and even my vision for the

1616
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 15: show that I have.

1617
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 4: It's not about me.

1618
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 15: It's about three dimensional characters that would actually resonate and

1619
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 15: translate in twenty twenty four. Because I worked for the

1620
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 15: producers who coined the phrase jump the shark. Bonsie jumped

1621
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 15: the shark, You jumped over a shark, right, those are

1622
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 15: my producers, the exact same producers, So you're not going

1623
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 15: to invite me to jump the shart again. I was

1624
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 15: offered a blind contract and half my pay of what

1625
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 15: I got for the last episode, and there was no

1626
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 15: consideration given to the adults that actually have such a

1627
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 15: large opinion over what terms they would return to. I'm

1628
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 15: like the way they were being discussed was, well, you know,

1629
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 15: Harrod and Carl will come by and they'll visit the

1630
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 15: new family every now and then, Like Hollywood doesn't really.

1631
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 15: They engage talent when they need talent, they pay talent

1632
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 15: when they need talent. And this isn't even a black thing.

1633
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 15: I don't want this to turn into a black thing.

1634
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 15: I'll hear guys like Chris Pine or whatever, who's you know,

1635
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 15: He's like, I don't know what they're going to do

1636
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 15: next with Star Trek, Like I love playing the character,

1637
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 15: but when they call me.

1638
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 4: They called me, so I'd.

1639
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 15: Love the opportunity to make the show that I envisioned.

1640
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 15: That was never turned down. It was never pitched. I

1641
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 15: was just offered a blind contract and around that they

1642
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 15: were going to develop the reboots.

1643
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 2: Now, you never there. I was watching an interview you did,

1644
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 2: and you said you never got invited. None of the

1645
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 2: Hollywood parties.

1646
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:02,919
Speaker 4: No, no, I mean I didn't.

1647
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 15: I would do a lot of nice parties, but not

1648
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 15: none of the like the stuff that started gaining a

1649
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 15: lot of steam on on on social media, like you

1650
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 15: know the Rock Nation brunch or or obviously you know

1651
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 15: you're talking about my man, you know, the Diddy parties

1652
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 15: or whatever.

1653
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 4: Like Noah, nothing organically not did you used to get invited?

1654
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 4: You got to calm down, You.

1655
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 2: Got you gotta go.

1656
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 4: You gotta calm down.

1657
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 2: You just around.

1658
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 15: We just we're going to slow it down for a second,

1659
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 15: you know what I'm saying. So sometimes you can just

1660
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 15: be driving too fast. You're not paying attention to the

1661
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 15: to the you know, speed, to the speed exactly. We're

1662
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 15: in a thirty five zone right now.

1663
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 4: What happened to Julia?

1664
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 6: Man?

1665
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 4: How Judy just walked up stairs.

1666
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 15: Talked about it, So I know there were a multitude

1667
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 15: of factors that went into her departure from the show

1668
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,919
Speaker 15: that I blame all on her mother. But as a performer,

1669
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 15: they weren't giving her storylines. She wasn't the best at

1670
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 15: delivering a joke.

1671
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 4: You know.

1672
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 15: Sometimes they would give her material and it would just

1673
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 15: fall flat. And if you fall flat and run through,

1674
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 15: they're gonna rewrite you. And you know, we're kids back there,

1675
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 15: so you know, kids, that's the thing. You can't roast

1676
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 15: each other nowadays, at least not in public. But trust me,

1677
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 15: kids are still roasting each other. That's never going to

1678
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 15: go away, right, So you know, we'd be sitting in

1679
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 15: the background and they're like, and.

1680
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:15,640
Speaker 4: She blows the layup. You know.

1681
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 12: It was just like.

1682
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 15: You know, and it's just like, you know, you can

1683
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 15: only mess up so much and be arrogant about it

1684
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,879
Speaker 15: in the Fird code in the Mercedes Too before somebody

1685
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 15: says enough of this, you know, And in this situation,

1686
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 15: I really felt like, you know, Jamie was born to

1687
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 15: a mother who put herself before her daughter, and she

1688
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 15: had ideas of grandeur that weren't necessarily very realistic, and

1689
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 15: it sucks for Jamie that she has to wear that

1690
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 15: scarlet letter for the rest of her life. And I

1691
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 15: hope that Jamie finds peace outside of show business. To

1692
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 15: be quite honest, you know, this show business can start

1693
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 15: to make you think that this is the only way

1694
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 15: to make money, this is the only way to live,

1695
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 15: Like if it didn't I talk about that with Jonathan

1696
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 15: Brandis because he passed away and he took his life

1697
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 15: and I just I was very close to him at

1698
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 15: that particular time, and I saw some of someone that

1699
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 15: was really putting too much emphasis on what this business meant.

1700
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:09,680
Speaker 11: To his existence on her For one, Myra Michelle Thomas, Yes,

1701
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 11: every time that girl, I know, I was going to say,

1702
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,560
