  Speaker 3: of course, because you know, but at the same time,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: we all know what it is to be in love.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: And we all know what it is to want love
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: and need love, so regardless of who it is on
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the opposite side, it's it's easy to tap into that,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: that feeling of wanting to be loved.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: That's a great perspective because it's not like you got
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: to do anything physically. You just got to tap into
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: the emotion.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Out of jail. Not that I've ever just got out
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: of jail before in my career, all my life, but
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I would assume the first thing you're gonna want to
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: do is, you know, feel love, absolutely, and that's what
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Angel wanted. Angel wanted to feel loved as soon expeditiously.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: In the words of t I Uh, she wanted to
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: feel some love and she she linked up with her
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: girlfriend Goldilocks uh by Kia and says she's an amazing
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: girl too. Yeah, so yeah, it was super fun.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: The first Dutch movie came out twenty twenty one.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, do we have to watch the first? Would you
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: have to watch the first one to understand the second one?
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: You don't, But if you're a fan of Terry Woods's
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: book and what she created with the Dutch trilogy, which
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: is what I really feel. The fan base and the
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: audience that loves from this series. You're gonna be surprised.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: But you do not have to watch the first one
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: to understand. But I would say watch it because Lance Gross.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Lance Gross is you know, a friend, and he's amazing
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and what they do and h but this is Angel's
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: story and she's getting revenge for Dutch, you know, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: it's what she goes through in her journey, and it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: it's dope because it's a female led cast. I'm at
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the rains. This is my first time ever starring in
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: a role being up there number two on the call
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: sheet because Dutch is number one on the call sheet.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: So but it was a really, really, really dope experience.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: And shout out to Manny who we all know, Manny Haley,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: for you know, for creating these experiences to put us
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: on the screen. So it's really dope.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: How does your hosting background help you with the acting?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: The hurry up and wait, man the hurry up and wait,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: the hurry up and wait, the patients and you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: the professionalism of how to act on the set. You know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: you just already know what those moving parts are. But
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: as far as acting goes, it's it's yin and yang.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: It's you know, acting is really raw emotion and where
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: you're pulling these things in from experiences Like Angel is
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: a very dark She has a very dark history and
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: past from being you know, sexually molested from her father
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: at a very very young age and always being betrayed
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: and taken advantage of by men, and so she has
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: this hatred for men that it's like, Okay, Roxy, where
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: do you some some things of my past? I don't
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: want to revisit, but I had to revisit for this role.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: And then there was some things that's like where do
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you tap in to get this energy and this anger?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: And then you find things you know, as life were
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: already up there. So there's so many experiences that we've
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: had that you could find like a substitution or something
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: to help you get into the role and the character.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: Is it completely identical to the book or is it
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: things that were left out or I.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Think it's a good representation of the book, you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I think it's I think it runs parallel to what
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the book. The book is and what the story, what
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: the story tells.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, how would you describe how respect influences Angel's actions?
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Throughout the film because it seems like she's seeking respect.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: That's all she wants, That's all she wants. She not
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: only she thrives off of respects, but I think she
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: also gets a high off. It's almost like an addiction.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: It's not even like it's like if you cross, if
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: you cross Angel anything by any means necessary. It's like
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: you out. It's almost like the Godfather's like that, well
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the'se got to go, you know, like she's ruthless. She
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: is completely completely ruthless.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: And what I what I enjoyed doing was playing something
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: that is completely opposite of.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Who I am.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who I am. It's like, I mean, you know me,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think you guys could have
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: a picture of me like just blasting off a gun
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: and shooting up, shooting up a corner.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Like it's not roxy you know, do you have to
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: learn how to shoot?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I mean I already knew how to shoot. Okay, register
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: gun on us. So I was like, I wish them
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: would at my house. So you gotta do that as
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: a single woman, you gotta do that. So yeah, no,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I knew how to That was actually the funnest part
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: on the set, because that was the part that shocked
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: some of the prop guys. They were like, okay, put
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: your hand like this, Like yeah, okay, So it was fun.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: What about respect as far as like in your real life,
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: have you ever felt like you had to demand respecting
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: this business?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I think all the time. I think all the time.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I think I still fight for it even today, even
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: being you know, on a platform like Good Morning America
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and GMA three shout out to my family over there.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: But you know, we still, we still as a culture,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: still fight for respect in those big rooms and in
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: those big meetings because people don't think to take us
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: seriously when we are driving force in this economy and
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: we are driving force to a lot of decisions that
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: are made politically. You know, it's just it's amazing how
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: we still don't get the level of respect in those boatrooms.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Just like how Jay Z says, you keep on fighting,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: you keep on showing up until they call you CEO,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: until they call you the bosson so you you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: and then to call upon you for decision making things,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: you know, until they are scared of you when it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: an election season and they're calling you a threat. You know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: it's like those kinds of things that it's like you
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: have to demand respect. So yeah, me personally, roxy, I
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: mean in my journalistic career and my hosting career, I'm
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: always fighting to be like what I'm like, Tyreese, what
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: more do you want for me?
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: What more do you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Want me to do?
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Like, honestly, there's like there's nothing else that I have
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I should have to do, but you know, you always
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: have to still tap dance.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I feel like y'all, I feel like you one just
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: because you're still here.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, I got bills to pay?
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and how do you how are you doing all that?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Of course you're doing the hosting stuff, you're doing the acting,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and then you're back in school.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you went back to your HBCU. Yeah, booe State Universe. Well,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: first of all, you guys, we always use to tour
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the HBCU route and it was always the most fun
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: going to HBCU campuses, me specifically going to Booie State.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: They have an amazing communications department. I connected with them,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I vibed with them. It was always a goal for
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: me to go back and be a college graduate from
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: my family, from my lineage.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Most people don't know when in the middle school you
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: got a job off from Boston and you said, I'm out,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I'm out, Yeah out.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: And it was actually Russ par shout out to Russ
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: par that told me that, you know, you could. You're
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: gonna starve, You're gonna You're gonna have pizza and Romen
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: noodles every single day. He's like, but you can't always
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: start in a top ten market, Roxy, you can always
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: go back to school. And so that launched my radio career,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: which which is where you and I knew each other
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: for so many years. And if it wasn't for radio,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: and I think people don't people have more of a
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: respect for radio now, especially because of the culture shift
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: than what you guys have created with the Elvis Durance
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: has created with like you know, the legends have even
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Russ Parr and Steve Harvey's everybody Russ Parr. At the
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: end of the day, you got to give the man
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: the respect. What they've created is that people forget that
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: radio is really the basic foundation of what television and
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: live television is. If you can be in a box
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: and pretend to talk to a bunch of people that
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: you can't see and be that creative. Then you can
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: do that on camera if your face is friendly for camera.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: A lot of radio faces, a lot of big person.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Changed a lot.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but remember that used to be a thing. They'd
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: be like, oh, you gotta face the radio. Yeah, and so.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: But I always, you know, I always credit my radio
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: career to everything. It wouldn't have been. I wouldn't have
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: got one on six in Park if I didn't. You know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Stephen Hill was a fan of radio. Personalities came from radio.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Came from that station in Boston. So free came from radio.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: You know. It's just like a lot of people come
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: from radio and they just transition and go on the television.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: It's don't get the credit he do. You know many
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: people Paul putting movies.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Early Rust Paul was doing it before Tyler Perry was
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: doing it and doing those movies and like you know
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: before anybody was just trying you're right hard, Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Put you to the movie. Yes he did, Tyler lelie,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: what was your what was your part in that movie?
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: I did too, like this, like two movies I forgotten
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: now or what so long ago.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: But no, he don't get the credit.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: He deserves a lot of black people in movies earlier
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: and people that nobody was even expecting to be these
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: stars that they are now.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because I did Me and Tyler did a movie
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: together called Ringside. I might have been his lackey.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: He was a box that I might have been like
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: this guy.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: From the jump.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Into character. What was your substitution and what was your motivation?
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I think I was sitting on the shoulders.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I did that. Would it felt like
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: like something you would do.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: It's like something you would do. I can't.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: The movie Dutch two shift your perspective on womanhood?
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Uh in what way?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Because you know the like I saw you say that.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Well, now I wonder what your initial perception of your
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: own strength was prior to embodying the role of Angel.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I think Angel empowered me a little bit more. I
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: think Angel made me stronger because again, like she commands,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I'm not like and I'm sorry to face this way
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: because I've known them for so many years, but like
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: y'all know me, I don't walk into a room loud.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I'm very specful, I'm very quiet. You know, she walks
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: into a room loud, she walks into a room commanding respect.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: But it's not like that commanding respect. I walk into
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: a room, Yeah, I want respect, but I'm also very
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I feel like approachable. She walks in like j Prince.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Or Jimmy Hinchman, or like like these people that
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: like I know, and it's like that's like by any
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: means necessary, people that just you don't you you only
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: hear about their reputation, but you don't really you know
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: why they have this reputation or why they got this
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: street cred of respect. And so yeah, like I dove
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: into my New Orleans roots. I dove into like knowing
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: what it was to grow up in the box and
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: you know, every ward was different. I tapped into my
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: days in Chicago and knowing whether you have to wear
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the hat to the left to the right, or who
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: he was dealing with, Like, you know, my life has
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: round parallel to this lifestyle. But just you know, blessing
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: that I wasn't caught up in the middle of it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: But I'm not going to act naive like I don't
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: know what's going on in the streets. And that helped
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: me with the character of Angel. But Angel is like
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I'm scared of her, scared of her like she's I wouldn't.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: It's like a Griseldo Blanco type, she's she's she's got
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: a very very very short temper.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: So in the movie, you don't give respect that easily, right.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I remember when I think roly Poly, whenever he came,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: he brought you out some drinks, like you didn't show respect.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Are you like that in your real life where it's
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: like you have to earn it before I give it
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: to you, Because that's how she was in a movie.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I respect everybody. It's kind of like in class. I
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: always thought like you start off with an A and
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: then you start losing that A throughout the semester. I'm
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: gonna always do onto others as I would have done
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: onto myself. I'm always gonna treat everybody with the utmost
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: respect whenever I come up. But then when you start
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: trying to play me, that's when then I'm like, I'm
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: not a pushover, Like you're not gonna You're not gonna
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: just take advantage of me, because I'm like, why would
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: you want to even take it? I'm a sweet person.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Why do you want to take advantage of me? Why
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: would you want to treat me bad? So if if
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: somebody were to, you know, start disrespecting me, then I'm
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm gonna stand up with myself. But Angel,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: she'll just shoot you. She ain't got time and she
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: not thrown hands. She's shooting. She she's got no times
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: for explanations. So and that's that's who she is. She's
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: just great.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: There's a scene in the movie where Angel says to
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: her girlfriend that she don't need love and that she
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: values loyalty more.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how does roxy feel about that? What do you
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: feel about the importance of loyalty of a love?
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Ah?
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I think. I think with loyalty comes love. I think
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: that loyalty makes you love somebody because you wouldn't want
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: to betray that person. So I value loyalty more than
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: love because anybody could say they love you. Sure, anybody
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: can throw those words around. Anybody could even do the
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: actions nowadays and play like they love you, but secretly
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: be doing some stuff in the background you know that
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: you find out about and then there goes the loyalty
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: and the trust. So for me, loyalty and trust is
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: above love because with loyalty and trust comes the love,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: and it comes unconditionally and I'm I'm a Scorpio and
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I'm a Latin woman, so I love unconditionally. But once
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: you kind of betray that love and that trust, is
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: like how you go back to that? Like it's never
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: ever ever going to be the same, you know, it's
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: it's it's a challenge.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Lord over love, love over LORDI.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: Mmm, loyalty over love. I respect loyalty way more than love.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: Like she said, you can love, you can say you
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: love anybody, you know what I mean, But actions don't
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: amount up to it then because they go hand in hand.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: But it has to.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: Be a bar like set of loyalty for you to
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: even really mean that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: You love me.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: You get what I'm saying.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: And y'all been married for a long time. You could
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: love your wife one day and not like her the
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: next day, but not married.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: That's a rumor, like this is the rumor, it's not.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I said, Yeah, you guys have been work uh gus
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: bins for a very long time, right, And so you know,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: you could love somebody one day and then you don't
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: like them the next day, but you're loyal to that person,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: you know, and you're honest and respectful to that person
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: even on the days that you can't stand that person.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: To me, that goes more so, like Michelle Obama said,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: every day ain't gonna be fifty to fifty. Some days,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be eighty twenty. Some days, it's gonna be
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: ten ninety. Some days, you gonna have nothing to give.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: But if you respect that person and you loyal to
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: that person, you won't sidestep on that person and do
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: stupid stuff.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I agree. Loyalty, trust, respect, honesty. To me, that's the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: equation for love.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Ye, Like I can't say I love you if I'm
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: not any of those things to you, right right, Yes,
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: I agree, Eric.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Going back to.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Briefly you briefly talked about it, do you say docu
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: series in the making for that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know why BT hasn't done it yet. Oh,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: we've done. We've done. We've done the reunions. You know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: we you know, I talk to Free uh a lot,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: and I talked to Terrence all the time, you know. Uh.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Jalisa and I always keep it touch like we all
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: we all still uh. But I don't, I don't. I
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: don't know why they wouldn't. I mean, it's a lot
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: of stuff. I think there's a lot of stuff that
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: has gone down, And I think that because a lot
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: of things that also as adults that we look back
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: and we're like, what what he's doing? But I'll say
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: this though.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: It was the craziest thing you said, you look back,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: what was one of the craziest things that you look.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Back at it?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: It's like, you know, one us its park was the
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: best job in my entire career when I.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Was the best show. We was watching that in middle school.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a party. It was a party every
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: single day.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Was the best job.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: You know why because and we don't We don't give
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: b T enough credit for this. We b T, at
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: least in my experience and my and Roxy dias his experiences,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: treated their talent respectively as the stars that they were,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: or are they treat the culture as the stars that
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: they are. You gonna get the right dressing room when
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: you go, You're gonna get the green room, the big,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: big green room. You know, we don't give BT enough
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: credit for that because it wasn't until I left BT
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: that I was like, oh, I'm nobody in this business.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Oh it don't matter what I did on this show
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: for seven and a half years. I'm new in white Hollywood.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I'm new in LA and you have to fight for
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: your respect and earn your respect, and you learn what
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: it is to be a minority in this big game
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: of Hollywood. It's changed now and it's evolved. Like one
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: of six was shit long ago. Now yeah, you know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: we're almost talking twenty is now, like you know, so
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: it's it would be interesting to see the perspective of
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: we've all grown and we've all done different things with
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: our career in our lives, and the appreciation that should
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: probably go back to Want to be Et and to
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: what that show was and how important it was for
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: the culture. Everybody always says it's gonna be another one
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: to sick some park is. You know that they won't be.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: No who's watching videos it's doing that. But I do
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: believe there was a format there to do like a
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: grown night show talk show. Yeah, bet kind and you
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: need it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, But you'all weren't competing with everything that you got
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: to compete with now, like there wasn't.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Social media wasn't what it was now, Like TV mattered.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you sat down at six o'clock to watch one
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: of those things you off to watch videos to watch
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: the interviews.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: That's where you got that kind of content.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I used to make maggage. I ain't mean like
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: playing the whole video, but it was. But the guests
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: was dope.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: It was like a party. Like I'm telling you. We
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: used to like go home and watch it. We I
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: was in middle school.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: I am young, but I was in middle school and
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: they used to had it on in the cafeteria for us.

• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Was talking about lunch and it was music, music education, music.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: It wasn't that he wasn't learning how to count it on.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: When you talk about like things that y'all probably look
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: back on now, there was a time where you went viral.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Before going viral was the thing you had walked off
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: the set?
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: This about the mess? Is this the best part? Let
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: me break I'm also.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Just the one you got.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: No.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: I just noticed because I remember this.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: You walked off the set during a lot of sap
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: and what what happened?
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Was it like anything with you?
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: There's what I have said so many times, that was fake.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: It was planned because it was okay it ma'am. Yes,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry to Bursters Bubble Junior High in Baltimore, lunch
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: and you were A single tear came down as I
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: walked out with the set. Terence and I were on
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: that show Nobody Realizes for three or four years straight
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: with no vacation, and we we never took a day off,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: and so it was it came to it came to
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: that time. I was like, oh, okay, can we take
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: a can we take a week? Can we go live
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: our life? You know? Like and uh the masterman, mastermind
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: a hand who came up with that idea, was like, well,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: y'all can't one just can't be gone on vacation. And
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: then the other one was we got to create a scandal.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: That's all it was. It was literally literally some of
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the best acting.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: That we've ever done. I didn't know that was fake.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: That is so much and it really, you know, it
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: really hurts me too, like when it does come up,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: because it comes up a lot, and I guess I
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: don't say it enough that it was fake, because it
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: really is. It really is. More it doesn't shine a
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: good light on Terrence's character, and Terrence is not that guy.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Terence is a stand up dude. He's never treated me
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: with no disrespect. And yeah, we've clowned and we've joked
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: and we've said things, as we all do. Once you
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: get into a comfortable state, you know where we were
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: like brother and sister for so long. So when people
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: do ask me that question, I'm so quick to say, guys,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: it was fake because Terence would never ever ever disrespect
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: me and let alone maliciously try to hurt my feelings.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: You know, that doesn't come from the breed that me
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: and him are, you know, or the relationship that he
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: and I have, Because at the end of the day,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: and I always tell TJ this is that nobody went
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: through what we went through. We would two kids off
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: the street that just got thrown into major television on
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: a major show, and we had to fight for what
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: we had and nobody went through what we went through.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, you either gonna
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: be at my funeral, I'm gonna be at your funeral.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: And one of us got to say something nice about
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: each other and so like we gonna be in each
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: other's last forever and it's because of that show. But yeah,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: it was fake vacation.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: It was nice.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: When was it would we go?
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: I don't even remember, but the fact that you had
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: to do that to.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Get a vacation, it was just to get and we
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: got ratings. Yeah, we were rating hungry. You know, every
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: day you checked what was the rating yesterday before? Every
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: single day. It's like waking up on the scale and
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: seeing if you gain weight overnight. Like that's literally what
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: it was like. We was addicted to ratings. So it
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: was ratings. That was it.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: On the Rap City docum series, they said it was
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: a beef between Rap City and I was.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: I don't remember.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Rap City was kind of still around when I was
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: on one O six, to be honest, because it was
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: like that transition because it was already Yeah, I wouldn't
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: know about that. I want to know about that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: It just came out the other day that they were
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: talking about AJ's dreads fake and it was like they
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: had the so in and something like that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I seen that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: I did hear that, but I don't know if that's true. Either,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: so I wasn't around for for a j stays either.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: They always looked real to me.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and his head was big, so it was like,

• 24:42
  Speaker 3: hair goes through. It girls hairs go through that's seven
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: and a half years every day.

• 24:49
  Speaker 3: And Wiggs wasn't in back then. That was so in yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Going be the worst guest person that you hated interviewing
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: or it was difficult.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: I should say hate is a strong word.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: She not Now, I don't use that one on my vocabulary,
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: but I wouldn't say difficult.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: It's just like you got those awkward ones like on
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: that show. In particular, it was Marshmallow. I'm like, why
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: is he here?
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: DJ?
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because he doesn't talk and there was no representative

  Speaker 3: there to like, I'm like, what WHOA what do we do?
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: He's just standing here, there's no gesture or anything like.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: It was like weird, He's great to have him there,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: but still it's just like, why, yeah, what do you
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: want me to do his life? His marshmallow should have
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: changed colors for his like emotions or something like that
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: back in the day or something like that to give
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: us a hint. But no, that was like probably the
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: weirdest and most I'm too politically correct too to mess
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: up a potential future interview.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: What do keeping?
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: It? Just you your longevity. I mean, you got brand

• 27:23
  Speaker 3: to have honest, open and safe conversations. It's always been
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: it's always been my goal. I like what Sherry represents,
• 27:31

• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Sunny Houston represents for us. I mean, I like honesty
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: and safe spaces, because when you want that person's bay
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: side and they want to be mean, it's not fun.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: And I've never been that person.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not mean.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: You are.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: I remember when you used to say TJ was gay?
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: Remember that, and now you.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: For real you know you're right, You're right.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: I remember Terrence I remember when I came to one
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: who took the park with Windy one time, and I
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: don't even remember what I said.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I just remember Terrence came in and Terrence was like, yo, man,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: he said, Joe.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: He said, Yo, if you if you say something about
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: my co host again, You're gonna put you in the face,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: what you know?
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: And I was like.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: What, that's what I said, because I couldn't believe he
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: came up to me and said that.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Said matter, I'll funk you up in the chest room.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: And then the security and everybody came to me and
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Terrence had to going to the bathroom and talk.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: You never told you that because.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Of you, but you never talked about me. You always
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: talked about him. Let me tell you when when one
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: moment that always stood out to me that made me
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: realize that you never know who you're going to be
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: working with for or doing project with in the future,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: because I remember you and TJ really never used to
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: get along way back, and not to drudge that up,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: and I say it to say because I remember he
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: was executive for reducing a show that was supposed to
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: be on BET and it was the t m Z
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: style of of all that and he wanted and and
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: then y'all he wanted you. And I was like, look
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: at these two now working with each other. And before
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: they was they was.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: I guess they was in the bathroom, but I was
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: the asshold.
• 29:22
