  Speaker 3: remember me this book and from the little s nasis,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I haven't read at you guys yet, so I'm like you,
• 6:03

  Speaker 3: I'm ready.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: For this book to drum.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, but from the little subynopsis that I've read this
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: is a book that we ladies need.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: And it brings it to me.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: The little bit that I read.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I know it says I remember me, but it's bringing
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: back that sisterhood. Yes, so how about you tell us
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: a little bit about your.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, so I remember me?
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Is this is It's about remembering who we were before
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: we became mothers, before we became wives, when we were
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: just dreamers, you know, and we were just focused on dreaming.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: It's about who we were before people started telling us
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: who we who thought we should be. And it also
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: brings three women from similar similar issues or problems with
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: different backgrounds, Holly, Simone and a Laura. It brings them together.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: When they come together, they formed the sisterhood and they
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: start to kind of it's like kind of poetic love letters.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: It's not poetry, but in the book they have a
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: moment where they write.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Love letters to themselves, you know, just reminding themselves of
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: who they were. And it's about Bondie and it's also
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: because you know, I love you a good romance and
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: also has some fine men in this book who love
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: women and see us like see us, you know, to
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: their souls.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I remember me.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: It's both this empowerment, sisterhood, love all in one. But
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: it's just getting back to self love. I think we
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: tend to we get so caught up in day to
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: day life that you know, we're just pouring into everybody else,
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: pouring in and porn in, pouring in, and to the poem,
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: we're almost you know, almost. So this is about remembering
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: to poor, to yourself, you know, and just self love.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: And with that, I have to met.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I'm in going and going and going and going.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: For about since January with my baby girl. My cousin
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: did a Gallantine's Day, and I have to meet. That
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: was the first time I was.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Out in a long time. But it felt so good right.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: And even though I wasn't just alone by myself, but
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I was with cousins and families.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: It was a time that it was just about.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Me, Not me the librarian, not me the book reviewer,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: not me the mommy.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: It was just plain Patrice exactly.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: So why do you feel that it's so important for
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: us to get back there.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I think it's important because.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: I have the saying I said at the bottom of
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: the totem pole.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: We are there, were.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Created to be, Then we can we can help other
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: women and we build stronger relationships, stronger bonds. It is
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: very necessary, and especially with the people we have in
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: government right now, we are stronger to gather, you know.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: And I always tell people, no woman is my competition.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: My only competition is a woman. I was sixty seconds ago,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: and I just I wanted to get back to you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: back in the day, my mother told me stories like
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: of how growing up, you know, how everybody looked out
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: for everybody. If one person had a cow, you know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: everybody had me, you know, and we have to we
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: need to just have that. I think as a community,
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: as a whole, we just to get back to that,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: you know, building.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Each other, not just in hard times, just every day.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: So and it's remembering who, like I said, God created
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: to be, because to me, it's a sin for us
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: not to.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Step out and live in our purpose.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: And in order to live in your purpose, you have
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: to remember who you were created to be, you know.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: So it's kind of I think it's important. Excuse my
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: little furbaby run around in the background.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: You thank you, thank you for putting us both on the.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Screen and showing this book. So these characters, who is
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: your favorite, Oh my goodness. Out of all of them,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I think it's tough.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to I'm gonna say I can't even pick,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: but I'm gonna go with go with Holly.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Holly's my favorite, okay, Okay, So because.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: And it's hard because all of them have a piece
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: of me in them. So I go with Holly.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: We have okay, so let's name them all first. We
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: have Holly.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: And Simone, Simone, and a Laura Laura. So why did
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: you not pick Simone as your favorite?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: She?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I don't. I love her? And like I said, she
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: has some something. All of them have some of me
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: in it. But once you.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Actually read the book, you'rell be like, oh, okay, maybe
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: that's why great, just because of what she goes through
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: in the book.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: But that's why. So is it hard to see you
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: with that one? Okay?
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Is it hard to see yourself and your characters?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. It's not.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, any character I've written about or I'm currently
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: writing about there is a piece of meat. If it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: not something but something they say or mannerism or something.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: All of them have some piece of meat in them.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: So no, it's not hard at all. That's really crazy.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: So with putting yourself in your characters. What's one thing
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: you've learned about yourself.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: I've learned that I am often my own worst credit.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: I'm often too hard on myself, and I don't give
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: myself enough credit. I realized that that I don't give
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: myself enough credit, and I've tried to always, I guess,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: stretch myself to the point of perfection or I'm just
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: trying to always do this, do that and the other.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: So I think I I don't take enough time to
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: just say it's okay. If I don't get it done today,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: it's okay.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: So I think that's I started doing that to myself.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: So I totally understand myself and I do it with
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: the laundry. We all do it with the laundry, you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: we all do, yes, ladies.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It is something I don't know. I don't know who.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Well, it might be somebody that loves doing putting up laundry,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: but that's one that's the first thing I started doing
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: it too.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It will be okay sitting in that basket.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: It gets bad when it's there like three fourteens afterwards, right.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: For you know, treas One of the things my mom
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: told me it's been about six months. She told me,
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: she said, you remind me of myself. I see myself
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: when I look at you when I was younger, and
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: I'm like, oh great, cause you know, if she's bomb,
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: she said, And then she said she was bothered because
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: what she saw is said, I was always trying to
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: do everything for everybody, and I was just stretching myself,
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: trying to make and she said I did that one.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: I was shun the here and she was, you know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: she basically said.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Just let let it go. And and that's when I
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: really started thinking.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: I was like, Okay, it makes sense, you know, because
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: originally the title of this book was going to be
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: When Superwomen Removed Their Caves. But shout out to Navi Robbins.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: He's the one he had this pre make design cover,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: and when I saw the cover, I fell in love
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: with it. But that title was too long to fit
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: on the cover. So I would rather change my title
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: than to change the cover.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And that's why I remember me.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: But it was originally titled When Superwomen Removed Their Caves because.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I'm like, we were just always.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Always going, going, going, going, you know, and I'm right now,
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: you know, you can go go go people, just you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: pull poor pool and then when you die, it be like,
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: oh she's good when they moved out to the next
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: so remember.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Who you are.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: But it's so true, I mean, because I think, let's
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: just take it a step further, ask in mothers. And
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I just saw, Yes, when I can't sleep at night, y'all,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I was looking last night at this guy named Ace Metaphor.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Y'all, don't I still listen to him sometimes I.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Heard everything I still listen to.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: But he was talking about being a mother and being
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: a father, and that being a mother it is you
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: are there present twenty four seven, and that's expected. But
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: being the father twenty four to seven is not expected.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: But it's okay.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: But if a mother is not there twenty four to seven,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: it is unacceptable. So the mother's supposed to be there
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: twenty four to seven, how does she fill her cup
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: back up if she's there twenty four seven exactly?
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: And see, I don't have any like I said, I
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: don't have a third baby. I have nobody. You know,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: human baby you want, yeah, Alabama, But you know, mom,
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: and I just saw and even when your children are
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: fully grown, I'm forty seven years old, and I'm still
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Mama's bab you know, I'm still mama's baby. Mama still
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: is like, you know, if I get a cough, Mama still.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Like, okay, baby, let me go, let me check out
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: my baby.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: So it never stops, you know, but it is. I
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: love what you said. You have to take time for you,
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: you know, because we tend to as women, as wives, mothers,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: we just keep pushing our bodies, pushing our bodies, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: until our body just kind of shuts down, we're just like,
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: oh okay, it'll be all right. We just keep going,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: and we need to just have that time like you spensial,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: your gallant times, have some times just to be you.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: You know, whatever you want to do, is you want
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: me you want to out tell people, dance, but make
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: it in your liver.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Just have time as a woman to enjoy being a woman.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, And you guys, it doesn't have to
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: be anything elaborate.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: It can be this pepsi I'm gonna drink. Get off
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the podcast. You mentioned that pepsi earlier, you.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: See, men, I might put it in a fancy glass
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: and ice. So we talked about the ladies in the book,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: So let's talk about these fellas, which one of these
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: fellas was the biggest headache in the book.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not hating men, but you know.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: The biggest heday I can tell you off the top
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: is going to be Bradley. He is the biggest headache.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: He is also probably the biggest heartbreak. Like when you
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: when everyone gets to know Bradley, they're gonna be like
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: I was rooting for him but then so definitely Bradley.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Bradley, that is Simone's husband. He's gonna be the biggest hit.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, who do we have for Holly?
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Since she was your favorite? Who's her name?
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Holly was my favorite? So Holly, we actually have Malcolm.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Malcolm is actually she's gonna spend the block.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, Malcolm. He's a face from the past. But they
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: had young love and like he tells.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: Her, she knew the boy. Now it's time for her
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: to get to know the man. So Malcolm, when the block,
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: spend the block?
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: We all have spinned the block. Okay.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I turned around and tore up the street so I
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: can't go down there no more. You see, the stop
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: sign wasn't working, barriers wasn't working, So I got a Jackham.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I tolled up the streets. So what made you want
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: to write? I remember me, what what?
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Brent? What brought this upot.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: As much as this book is for all women or
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: for women in our community, this book was for me.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I needed it. I needed it.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: I desperately needed it. So I needed to I had
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: so much that was I was dealing with and I
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: just needed a way too. And writing has always been
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: the way that I, you know, I let it go.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: And this book is almost although it's like you know,
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: it's fiction, it's almost like a journal, you know, because,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: like I say, each pit, there's a part of me
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: and every one of these women, you know, there's something
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: that I can relate to, or something I've been through,
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: or say's something I thought.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: So I need it for me.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: I just needed it for me. I wanted to get
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: back to that place, you know, that place of when
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: I was just a dreamer, you know, and little you know,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: and I was just I was more focused on making
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: my dreams come true than being everything to everybody.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Else, all right, So you push yourself forward and I
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: love that, and I loved that for you, and I
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: know there's somebody who's wanting to do the same thing.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: This is your confirmation that you need to go ahead
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: and do it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Do it, sol it? What is what?
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, So we're celebrating Women's History Month and you are
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: the third female because.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: It's ladies first this month.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: So being a woman and being the author m highs.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: And lows, one high and one low. Tell me about it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Let's see. One high is being.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Able to motivate or when someone says, oh, my goodness,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: that's me. How did you know how I was feeling
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: this fairy that that that I read that piece of
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: dialogue between your characters or whatever, that one page that
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: was for me. When and being able to motivate, you know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: or encourage somebody, let them know, hey, you're not alone.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: That that's the high. That's the high.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: The low girl, oh no, love probably is being misunderstood
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: because you know, when you as an author, it's very important,
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: especially in you know, I genre.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: For us be personal and friendly. Some people take that
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the wrong way. But yeah, some people take that the
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: wrong way.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: So I think that's just being misunderstood, totally understand.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: So what do you feel is the hardest part about
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: being a female author Right now? In the time set
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: we are, do you feel that it's become harder or
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: is it still the same.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: I think I think it's just different because I originally
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: my first book originally him By in two thousand and nine,
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: and then, like I said, I had a seven year hiatus.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: My lad, you know. I think it's just different.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: The way the game is I hate to say game,
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: but the way the game or the industry is played
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: in RAN these days, it's it's different. I think it's
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: it's just I don't want to say it's a whole
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: it's more men. It's messier now than it was then,
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: but it's a little messy, and I think we just
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: have to get back to the point of remembering that
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: we all bring something to the table. Like I said,
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: my competition is a woman I was sixty seconds ago,
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: my my As far as books, my only competition is
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: the last book I put out. I don't look at
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: I don't look at it as being competitive because I love,
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: like I love when everybody. I want us, all the women,
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: you know, I want us all to win, and I
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: you know, and I get and I get highly encouraged
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: by seeing other people posts are success.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: So I think we just have to remember that. And
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I think as women. We have to remember. Okay.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: People say imitation is the highest form of flattery. I
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: say imitation is a lack of creativity. So be original,
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: be you, write what you want to write, write what
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: you feel, and just and then love on the next sister,
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: love on the next woman, love on the next brother,
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: to help them along the way. That's it, you know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Just stop being so messy dropping all kind of knowledge
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: all over the place, because it is true people feel
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: that there is not enough for everybody.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: It's literature. I promise you.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I promise you that there's enough to go around. Because
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I always tell people there is no such thing as
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: an old book because not everyone has read every book.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Your book is always going to be new. And one
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: thing that our CEO go ahead and color that our work.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: The Queen always tells us you are your brand.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: And it's for everybody I'm in involved with this one
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: hundred inspiring office.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: It's so crazy.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: How you have this author say, hey, I found out
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: about this spread, the words, found out about this spread
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: the words. There's enough for all of us. And if
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I don't get it this time, I'm gonna be your
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: biggest cheerleader because I know you got my back next.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Time, exactly exactly, so petty together.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: I remember we were talking offline and we were talking
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: of those fun questions. Yes, here's the time for your
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: fun questions, all right, So you guys know it that
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: see book, galsand friends. We always tie in my favorite stuff,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: which is entertainment music in movies. So Holly, my friend Holly,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: if you can.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Choose any female actress to be Holly, who would she be?
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: And why? Oh that's difficult. I know it's trying to
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: send it to you. Taraji p Henson because she's Taraji.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: She knows she's jazzy, she's classy, but she has that
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: that attitude. And Holly has that attitude. She's classy, but
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: she's also one. And them like, okay, wait they say
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: what you want, you know? So I think it would
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: be her. I could see her playing her.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Okay you say her, and you guys, y'all know me.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I am not good. I can tell you what shure
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: they play on, but I am not good. I am
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: thinking about the girl off a reason. Keenan's she's a
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: bad something right there. That's what I was thinking, especially
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: when we talk about splitting the block, because she did
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: that with unique as she did that what you need.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: But you know what she well, you know what she's versus,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: so she might could. I don't know. I love her though.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I would love to see her probably pay in one
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: of my part and one of my other books. I
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: would love her if they came to the film because
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: she's bad. What's her name Patrice? I think it is
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: in real life or something like that.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Her name is not Patrice. I think it starts with
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: a p.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: I'm a googood just told her her name was Patina Miller.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: I knew it started with a peek. She's bad.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: If there is an alley, I want her. I want
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: her in the alley with me. She's so smooth with it.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: She is, she is too smooth with it.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, but you said that she can be one of
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: your other books, book would have been, and who would
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: the character be?
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: She would have been in the Love Lifes unless series. Definitely,
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: she probably would have been. And that's my first series
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: which I'm getting this year. We're gonna have it spinad
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: based off of their children, so she'll probably I could
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: definitely see her plane.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I take you because I tell you she's she's bad.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: She's bad. She is she is a great actress.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: So we talk about Bradley. Okay, Bradley was walking in
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: a fashion show. What song would represent Bradley?
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Okay, gotcha, and he was walking in a fashion show.
