  Speaker 2: I'm excited for the unknown.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Ooh see, I like that, excited for the unknown. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: like that because a lot of people run from the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: unknown and you're excited about it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am very very excited about the unknown. I
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: feel like you just sometimes I have to get out
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: of the driver's seat and let God just be in
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the driver seat, and he gonna let you be a
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: passenger precess. So that's why I'm at right now. I'm
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: just a passenger precess.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Listen here, you are so true God. See that's how
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I got into this seat right here. I got out
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: God to see and became that pass the Princess and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm still holding on. I'm like, okay, God, I don't
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: know how far we're going with this, but I don't
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: want you to slow down because you ease up a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: little bit, just just a tag. And when you tell
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: him that, he said, oh, you want me to ease up,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and he just goes for.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: How bad you wannna go.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Like, no, Jesus, don't just slow down. I don't understand
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: slow down. I'm going for this.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I love that. I love that. I love that. So
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: are you what a publishing house or are you independent?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I am independent? So I published through Amazon KDP, which
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: is really really easy for me and it's accessible. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: will definitely say one of my goals for next year
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: will try to submit to publishing houses and stuff and
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: we'll just see where I go with that.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, Because a lot of people they don't know which
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: one they want to do, So can I ask, why
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: don't you choose to go independent set of going to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a publishing house first?
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Ooh? So I definitely did independent first because I wanted
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to actually get a fan base number one. I feel
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: like you can't go large, you have to start small,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and people have to attach themselves to something. So I
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: feel as though, if I get a fan base, you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: just start pushing out books and then after that, see
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: how it all works. Go to a couple of book
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: drops and stuff, see how that works, and then try
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to hit it big. Well not big, but you know,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: try to go to a publishing company and also do
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: my research. I think now I'm still doing research.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: It's very smart, very smart your research. I think a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: lot of people get in the industry and thinking that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: they about to make millions and millions of dollars off
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: of their first book. And I'm like, what's your name is? Patterson, Grisham, Ivanovich?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And you name me in your aerctro room, Dickie, Because
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I don't even think he's made a million dollars off
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: his book. He might have, she said, she hasn't made
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: a million dollars over unless you three, you know, just
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: understand that you're gonna be putting in some work. You know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: now that's book here. No, no, you go ahead, see
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: what you have to say because we're gonna talk about
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: this book here.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Oh no, go ahead, go ahead.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So first of all, I'm a cover girl. Now I
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: make up y'all. Look, well, this right here getting the natural.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: But when it comes down to books, I'm a cover girl.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Your cover is very mysterious and leads me to say,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: what in the world is behind these pages, especially when
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you have that word maize in those red I would
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: call it bright red, but it might just be a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: subtle red color. It just grabs me. And that is
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the cutest ends. I'm never he looked at somebody, is
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: this color? I be looking at the ear like dang.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Literally I'm in the mirror, look you know, but yes,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: how did you come up with your cover? We're gonna
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: bring it after you, guys. You're gonna bring it up
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Okay. So the cover actually, and this is again me
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: being in these groups and me just you know, scoping
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: out the scene and stuff, so it's it's different. It
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: was actually a post that someone had made and I
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: was at work, so I had saved the post and
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I came back, but the lady was like, who makes
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: pre make covers? And when I came back, I seen
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: this guy and he's like, oh, I'm having a sell
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: for five dollar Premike covers and I was like, okay,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I like this cover. Now the cover was not like that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like enhanced, It wasn't like that. So when
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I met, I bought it and I messaged messaged him
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: and I said, Okay, can I get a remake of
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the cover and he said, yeah, turn around the time.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: It's twenty four hours and he said, tell me everything
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: that you wanted to cover, and I said, okay, cool.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: So I within the twenty four hours, I continue to
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: write to let my writer give me a feel on
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: how I want the cover. So I just told him
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: that I wanted it to be enhanced. I didn't. I
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: gave him the name of the book, and we just
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: kind of went from there. We just kind of like
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: piggyback off of each other, back and forth, and the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: rest of his covers that he have made for other people,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: of other artists and for himself because he's also an
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: author as well. I was just like, yeah, like, I
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: think that we're gonna be really good buddies because I
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: like your covers. So yeah, that's how I made That's
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: how we created the cover, and that's how we came
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: up with it. And I think stuck in his maize
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that name just kind of came from the story.
• 12:46

  Speaker 1: work on my nerve. Yes, you got that. Have reading it,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: y'all know me. I got fifty million books going on. Okay,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: so I do try to start to read and finish
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: reading all books that of authors that I have on
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: my shelf. Who Lizzie and Tommy, Let's get started. What
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: in the world?
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Okay? So, from what I can tell you, Liz is
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: like this. She's married to Tommy. They've been married for
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: over ten years. They do not have any kids together,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: and she's just like this princess and she she's like, yeah,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I know my husband, I know my husband, but clearly
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: she does not know her husband. So let's Liz and
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: then Tommy have been keeping secrets away from his wife,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: and as the book go on, it just kind of
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: reveals itself. So yeah, in a short, sweet answer, because
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the book is not that long. It's I think it's
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: like one hundred and fifty pages or something, so it's
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: not that long. Now in the book, you'll it'll be
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: like some pop up characters and you'll just be like hum, okay.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: So yeah, So from the little person the little little
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: pieces that I've read, I literally hear a song by
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Drew Hill somebody sleeping in my bed, Like, who is
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: this person that I'm married? Like ten years? You've been
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: married to this person and you really tell you truth.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: It seems like she really didn't know much about him
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: when everything started coming out, what work?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: She didn't know? Why?
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Why? Why you did that? Through Lizzie Man? Why you do?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I felt like so the last book that I wrote
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: with just so lovey dovey and just so hopeless romantic
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: because it was a Christmas book and it was just
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: short short story. It was like fifty pages and that
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: book was just like so lovey dubby and I was
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: just like you know what bump love w right now,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, so you need to be like, you know
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: native she was just on her little house.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Break her down, you surely.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: But one thing about it in this book, he loves
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: his wife. And he shows in many ways how he
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: loved his wife. It's not just one way, like he
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: shows in different ways. And a lot of people when
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: they leave comments or they tell me about after they've
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: read this book, they love the way that Tommy loves Liz.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: And I think that that was just a beautiful I
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: just slay that beautifully.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And when I'm reading this book, okay, and I'm not
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a person who wants to put some money in the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: genre category, but the reason why I said, this book
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: is very very very well written, very very not enclosing
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: this box is because somebody like me who's a lover
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of street lit and somebody who loves contemporary. This is
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: like them two having a baby together. You don't have
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: much of one and you don't have much of the other.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: The street lit is bank robbery part of it. Okay,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not telling y'all much of this book. Don't even
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: try to get me into it. Okay. All I can
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: say is bank robbery. That's where the street lit side
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: come from. And how she described Lizzie and Tommy in
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the relationship they have with the love that's that contemporary.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: So I just feel it's a good mixture of both.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Right now, do you feel that I'm on point or
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: bring me in which one do you feel now?
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I feel like you're on point. Definitely on point between
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the two, mixing the two, and that was the baby
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: that they had.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I just love it. It was enough to say, oh, right,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: but what else does she have going on? You know
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So let me ask you a question.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: So we have Tommy and we have a Lizzie. Do
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you feel that you're going to have them come back
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: again in another book.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Uh no, because that story kind of wraps up. Okay, okay,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: it's a short read, so that story wraps up.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I do have a part one and part two, and
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: the first book is called Things that We Don't Say
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: and then there's Things that We Can't Undo. Now that one,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: you gotta read it. It's about is it four couples
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: and baby? And when I say drama, drama, yeah, that's
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: the one. Were you like, girl? Why? She said? Why
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: she did? Who else is she sleeping with? Yeah?
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Don't say it because I hey, listen. I had one author.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I finish reading her book and she gave this plot
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: twist that came out of nowhere. Her name was. The
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: book was called Heart Surgery by Money Glove. Okay, you girl,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: looking here the things that happened in that book. I
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: actually sent her a message like twelve thirty A and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I said, I know you ain't up. We just did
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the show, But what the devil were you thinking when
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you did this to the characters? She was like, oh,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you read that part. Yes, I love those twists and
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: turns and those question marks. We y'all do it? Love it?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: So let me, she questioned, This book is one hundred
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and thirty five pages. Now off the show, we were
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: talking about lengths of books. Okay, do you feel that
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the one hundred and thirty five pages did these two characters,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Lizzie and Me justice? Or do you feel like this
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: is a book that if I wanted to, I can
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: add more, but that one five is just right? How
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: do you feel about it?
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I feel like it go either way. Like once you
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: read the rest of the book and you get to
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the end, the ending is where I would say I
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: could pick back up in part two, but it won't
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: be Tommy and Liz story. They'll just be like friends
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: of the friends. But you have to read the rest
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: of the book because I can't tell you the ending
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: because then you're gonna be like, girl, what the ending
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: leaves on? So that's the only way that That's why
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I say it's like fifty to fifty. That's the only
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: reason why I would pick it back up to tell
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: that person's side, and then Tommy and Liz would be
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: the friends.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: They'll be right already, alrighty well Man Nomber we talk
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: behind see and I was telling you that you know what,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I send you questions. But then there's those fun questions. Yes, well, man,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: it is time for the fun question for the fun questions.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: So it is time to get in the hot seat.

  Speaker 1: So are you ready, my friend? Are you ready?
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: She's looking at me like I don't know what she's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: about to ask me. All right, So we got lifetimes
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: on the line and lifetimes saying you know what, we
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: love your book. Okay, So we gotta get our characters together,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: all right. So for the character of Tommy, we want
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: him to be an old school player. So we're talking
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: about the two thousands and y'all. That's not old school
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: for me, but just just hear me out. Okay. We
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: need a two thousands R and b artists who can
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: play the role of Tommy. Okay, who would you want
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to be Tommy? Two thousands R and b artists?
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: That's a hard one. I don't know, y'all. In the
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: comments dropped some names because I don't know.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I was gonna Lance Grows.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: It's saying gross or something like that. Lance who played
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: on Tyler Perry House of Pain. I said him, oh Idris, oh,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: oh Idris. Yeah, yeah, I can see Idris. I can
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: see him being Tommy.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, why do you have an Idris.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know who else.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I was, okay, see, that's
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: what I was going on.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: He is a lovable, a love guy, so I could
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: definitely see not not Tyrese. No, ma'am, no, no.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I was thinking Tyree said first. I was thinking baby
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: boy type.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Fine, the way they love her, so you gotta think
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I'll be looking at me. So I don't think tyresee,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: but I will say tant because.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Oh I never knew how to say his name, Kofeefe.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: But the one who played in Queen's Smooth One Taylor. Yes, okay,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: that's okay, so we have him, Yeah, we got him.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: We have kofe. Yeah, so kofee is going to see now,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I said, R and B you guys.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, did y'all see the verses? I don't want to
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: get off topic, but yeah, that's all I'm gonna say.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: What do you talking about? He said a song about
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the turtle neck man? I said, look, this is the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: end of verses because now we're singing about turtlenecks. That's
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: just it, okay, right, all right? So we got kofee
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: for Tommy. Yeah, but Lizzie because she's a passenger princess.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I want to make that role hard for the rapper
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: to do. So we're talking about the princess.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: She's also native back first, but then she grows a backbone.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: She grows a backbone. Okay, so we're gonna gonna look
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: at this crop of rappers that we have females. Who
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: would you choose to play Lizzie and why?
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Hm hmmm.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I gotta think about this one.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Y'all dropped so I can get an idea of what
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I want. Let's see, you said rappers, rappers. I don't know.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I was Sigrilla and why because in that video that
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: she has with t Pain, you see the softer side
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: of her. It's a song to her and Pain half together.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I would say Little Kim because of the whole bacco
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: and stuff. I would have to say little Kim because
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: she was often in you know, she was like a
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: little I would not do my Lotto, not a lot
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: of maleo man leo. Yes, I would do my Leo.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: So I would definitely say my little live Kim.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who is. I'm sorry.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think lotto because I feel like lotto is
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: like she always talked about Big Mama, and she probably
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: is soft around her person. But no, I need her
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: very like native and showing or nothing about no street life.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: And I need her to be submitted to her husband
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: and then grow a bad bone, because that's what the
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: book is about. I was gonna say Mad the Stallion.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: You know what I am gonna say, Mad the Stallion
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: if med de Sigon was a little bit shorter, though
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: med de Sign has to be a little bit shorter,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: because remember Liz is shorter than Tommy. Tommy tow was
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: over right, So you, honestly, Matt de Sign would be
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: my number one pick.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so we got Mega Sign and we have coffee.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, they didn't have a child together, that
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: that child would be beautiful. Somebody said, Curly b don't.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't do Cardi because remember Carti is funny, Liz
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: ain't funny. This is not funny.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'm still thinking that this somebody out there that
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: we are overlooking as a female rapper who can do it.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say Trina, But Trina got too much lip,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: just like Carti. Carter got lip too, So.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: No, Trina got too much attitude. I didn't see her.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: She got too much attitude. Mmmm, I think, man, uh
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you know what? And grew a backbone? Okay, mia X
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: mea X she was, she was really she grew a backbone. Well,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: she actually started to come out more after they did
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: that make her said on video, because before then you
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: really didn't know nothing about her, and she was on
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: some of their hooks. But once they did that make
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: he say she had that little piece, then she came
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: out there. So I can see mia X. Okay, I
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: can't see anybody else. Okay, all right, so we got
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Tommy and Lizzie, but now we gotta have a great location.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: What city do you floor? Flow flow? Milly? You know
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: who that is.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I never listened to how music, but I do know
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: who she is.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about her being Lizzie?
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: No, we're gonna stay with med. So we have May
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: and the.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Stallion and we have Kofe. So now you know, we
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: gotta have a great place to film this book. What
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: city would you feel would be to have the best
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: backdrop for this for your book? Stuck in his Maids?
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, I would say, Cali, what y'all think? If y'all
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: have read the what you guys, But I would say, Keli.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I was actually I was thinking like and because of
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Lizzie's background, I was thinking somewhere like Washington, d C.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Or even like Charlotte. That's why I was. Somebody saying
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Bay Area.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I would say, that's saying somebody.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Says, who's seven. Okay, So I was thinking like Charlotte,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: and then I was thinking Washington, d C. And the
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: reason why I was doing that because of Lizzie's background.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I could see her coming from a well educated family
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: for some reason.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, so she does. I felt like well educated family.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: So I felt like I needed some place that had
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the educational ass point standpoint. But then I walked down
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: a couple of blocks, excuse me, and I'm straight in
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the hoods. So that's why I was thinking that.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Somebody said, what about I'm gonna see New York too.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Now I can see New York. Yes, I can see that.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, because New York will give you that. New York
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: give you everything.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Actually, yes, I can see New York. That's a good one.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: That's a good one. All right. So we got New
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: York City, we have mag thee Stallion, we have Kolfie,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: all right, they loved it. Oh my god, they say
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: they loved it, they loved it, they love it. But
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: now they say, you know what, we want you to
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: do another movie about one of your other books, but
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you gotta do it with your favorite. You have to
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: have someone help you write it. You's a cool but
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: that person gonna be your favorite author. So what other
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: book of yours would you like to make a film off?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: And who would you like the co author? What?
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Let's see you hmm. I would do Broken Vowels. That's
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: my second book and my co author. Cool. Let's say hmmm,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: we talked about her earlier. What is her name? Jay?
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna yes, Jacquell J. I would definitely do her.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: She Oak. I would definitely do her, all right?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: All right? Cool? So you got all these people we
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: in place, but now we need a director. Oh, we
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: need a director. So I'll let you figure out who
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: would your director be?
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, huh, I feel like with that book, and I
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: would do Will Packer because he's coming out with me
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: if it's not already out. But the one with Hallie
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I cannot wait to see. But that's just like a
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: rump come right, Yeah, but I want to see that too. Yes,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I wait to go and see it. And Broken Vows
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: is about like a marriage, and it's about the ups
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: and downs and childs and tribulations of a marriage and
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: how she has to like forgive him and take him
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: back and stuff. But he also has to do the work.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: So I would definitely love to see him love to
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: see you. Will Packer be the producer for that?
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, okay, So now the last thing we need.
