  Speaker 7: the way that I do, I can see it. I
• 4:40

• 4:50
  Speaker 7: to the day he dies. He's a beautiful creature inside
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: and out. It penetrates out from him. It's obnoxious. Actually,
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: he gets on my nerves with that. He's not aging
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: the whole. So he is in a class over here
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: to himself.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: However, I could see you being you know, uh, not
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: Morris Chestnut, but but Bori's Chestnut or Lawrence Chestnut, like.
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: I could certainly see that y'all are from the same tribe.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Do you wanna put up some glasses?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we couldn't see if there was a family reunion,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I could be that.
• 5:25

  Speaker 7: I didn't see it until I'm looking you dead in
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: your in your face, but your eyes, your nose, your

  Speaker 7: your lips, I could see same, tried.

• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Could you stop hating before?
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: What?

  Speaker 3: It's like years because marsh.

• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I've known Charlemne to God since when I mean since childhood.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Right, Oh my god, Yeah, what is the point?
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: Did you have plastic surgery to look like More?
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: Yes, just showed up one day, like, who's this man?
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying, don't let it, but but
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: I do see it. But but back to the show, Patrick.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: About very hilarious. There's no way More's anything.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Looks like that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: No way in hell, I'm saying a cousin, y'all.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying, Okay, thank you. So I'm playing this
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: character who's going through this divorce and you know, she's
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: having her time. Her friends are like, you got to
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: get back out there, and so she gets back out there.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: She goes on tender and meets a guy that she
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: immediately is infatuated with. They have a great connection, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: he goes her. So it's a wamp wamp and then
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: she's feeling like, no, I feel like it was real.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: And so my character goes to try to figure out
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: what happened where he is and discovers that he might
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: be at the center of.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: A decade's old cold case that needs to be solved.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: And so now I take all my friends with me,
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: and we got to solve the solve the mystery.
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: Where did the idea from the show come from? Was
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: it something that happened in Detroit?
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: Yes, yes, there was a there's a true crime aspect
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: to it. I mean the idea of wanting to play
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: a black female PI has been with me for a
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: long time. I loved my granny, you know, I used
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: to sit up under her and watch murder she wrote
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: and that, and I loved the idea. I felt like,
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: where's the black woman in all of this. We're the
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: ones that know how to solve things. Are intuition so strong,
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: the way we look at a situation and can figure
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: it out in two seconds over glass of wine. I'm like,
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: we would make dope investigators. And I wanted to see
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: that Jessica Fletcher kind of character that was better dressed
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: with better friends, you know, with funnier friends, and was
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: maybe a little bit hornier. And so that's sort of
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: where the idea came from for that. But then there
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: was a true crime case in Detroit that really affected
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: me when I was a kid. It was a little
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: boy who went missing. I was a kid, and I'm like, damn,
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: kids can go missing, Like that's that's not cool, you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: And I listened to all the chatter of the old
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: folks around me, like, I think his mom must have
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: had something to do with this. This is bizarre, you
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: know how he just disappeared from the law, and then
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: right before a pandemic, this grown man walked into a
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: Detroit police station and he said I'm him, I'm this
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: little boy that's gone missing. It was a big story
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: and for me, I was like, I remembered it instantly.
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: I was refreshing the the news, you know, online.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Trying to see what happened.
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: And finally they took his DNA and they discovered that
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: the guy was, in fact nuts you.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Know what I mean.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: No, he was wild.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: He was yeah and exactly and it was like a
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: womp womp, and it made me crack up.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Honestly.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: I was like, that's so damn Detroit, Like this dude
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: just decided he was gonna wake up, going to the
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: police station and just talk a bunch of shit to me.
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: It was a tone that was captured about the city
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: of Detroit where you feel like it's gonna be sad
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: or tragic, but a lot of times it just turns
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: out to be funny. And you were just wilding and
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: that sounded like that, that version sounded like a TV movie.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: That was.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Did you try the tob Capital of the World.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: Yes, absolutely, every day.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: You do, girl plug love what.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: Oh wow, I've seen more than I have everything. So
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: so I really so that, So that little boy stuck
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: with me, and I really wanted to know what would
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: happen if the little boy had been kidnapped or something
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: that he came back, What would his story be, where would.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: He have been?
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: And so that kind of this the the show is
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: kind of a fictionalized version of working that out in
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: my imagination.
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: Wait a minute, so on, so did you was a
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: school teacher?
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a lot.
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: Media guy intended going today have sex with him. He
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: goes you, you realize he's been kidnapped, so you go
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: looking for him.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: So now she's a a little boy.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: But the sex was amazing.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: What you mean because he oh, well, I can't really
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: give that away, but it's related to that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: It's related to that story. But you got to watch
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: it till grown man. He's kidnapped as a grown man.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe he just went back home in his family.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: Maybe maybe you got to check it out because that
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: happens out here too. Absolutely yes, that happens too.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Now, why is it important for you to highlight Detroit life, you.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: Know, as a writer, it's what I know, is what
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: I know intimately. I feel like, you know, you brought
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: up my brother. I've been in I've been in a
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: lot of different rooms. I'd say, like I grew up
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: with my mom, who was a single parent. We grew
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: up in Section eight, you know. But then at the
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: same time, you know, my brother was mayor. He was
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: elected just as I was graduating from high school. And
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: so I've been to a lot of really fancy parties,
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: been to a lot of nice things, and so I
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: think there's not that many people who have traveled Detroit
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: extensively as I have. I've been in almost every kind
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: of room you can you can't imagine. So when I
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: was with my grandmother in the hood where she was,
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: you know, storming into the crackhouse across the street to
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: get her TV back, you know, I've been on that street.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: And then I've been at a you know, inauguration or whatever.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: So I feel like really well placed to talk about
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: the city. Yeah, that you were with Felicia Richard as well,
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: how was that?
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I love her, you know, It's so funny.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: She's such a queen, like everybody talks about that regality,
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: that air that she has about her is so real.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: We were talking about it's funny because Kiky Palmer was
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: saying like she wasn't keeping it real as Claire Hugsable,
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: like she was keeping it real like she really is.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: That's who she is.
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: She just she just brings such a queenliness to her
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: to everything she does. And it was a dream come true.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a cursing to her.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: We had her saying all kind of stuff.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, she was talking about how she her character claims
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: to have fucked all the all the original members of
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: the Temptation.
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: You know what's so funny that that clip went viral. Yeah,
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: and it took a while to realize this wasn't really
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: her talking. I don't somebody the way somebody send it
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: to me.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why police, you're talking like.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, I asked her because she was like, you know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: I knew them, you know, they were my friends. So
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: I asked her like, how many of them do just
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: sleep with? Did you sleep with any of them? And
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: she was like do you I know.
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: That?
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: Listen, guys, this is my toxic trait. I ask inappropriate questions.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: I also like to get down to it. I do
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: not like like casual. I don't like small talk, laptopple.

• 12:54
  Speaker 7: on something recently where you were talking about doing ayahuasca,
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: and I said to my husband, I was like, I
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: think I'm gonna do I wasking out and he was like,
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: he's been doing it, but he hasn't been doing.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: It for a while.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: So he was like, it took Charlemagne the God Way
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: to do ayahuasca. I've been telling you about this since
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: the nineteen years we've been together, him nineteen years and
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: never tried it, never tried it. I'm I've been a
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: I think you have to be ready. It has never
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: I've never felt ready. But also I'm very sensitive. I'm
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: just a super sensitive person, and so I had a
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: experience once where he was doing it with some people
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: kind of outside of the house that I was in,
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: and I threw up in the house, so I hadn't
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: drunk it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it was the smell.
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: I don't know if it was just the closeness to
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: it of the proximity to it, but I threw up,
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: so I was like, that's that's wow, that's a lot.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: So I wanted to be really really ready.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Wife and I did it together. Yeah it was a guy.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: I mean the way that you put it specifically about
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: you felt like you saw yourself without any ego, without
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: any ego at attachment. That sounded attractive to me. So
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: I'll let you I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: That's what's up.
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: I can't believe that you let this character sleep with
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: one a man one time after one time, after one date.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think.
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: I think it can I think you know, you know, yeah,
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: you know, you know. I mean, you don't know they're
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: gonna miss him, but you know, Like I also think
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: the older you get to you know what you're looking for.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: Like when you're young, it's it's different, you're trying things out.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: But once you when you're dating older and you know
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: who you really are I think when you found what
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: you need, it's like it can be pretty instant.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: You like, I don't know, I.
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: Mean, not enough to go hunting for him after first, Yeah,
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: because he could just go.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: To you like you.
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: But you know what, here's the thing that's true, and
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: that's what she has to find out. And I think
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: that's the deeper part of the story is that you know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: the character is going through a divorce, she's feeling very insecure.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: She really needs to get to the bottom of this
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: mystery to know if it is her and she needs
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: to go doing some more self reflection or if it
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: was really what she thought it was.
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: What I find interesting because you know, they tell you
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: whether you're in therapy or just in life, like you
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: should have an open.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Communication with your partner.
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so you're soon to be ex husband Mary chestnutt
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: Yes comes to you and says, hey, he wants to
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: have an open marriage, and you automatically think he's cheating.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, why would you think he's cheating. He just
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: came to you what he desires.
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: Well, the character thinks he she is cheating because anybody
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: that's asking for an open marriage. I think she's just
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: feeling like that's fishy. Don't you think out the blue
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: if somebody's like, we haven't agreed upon that, that hasn't
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: been our thing, and then you're like, oh, let's let's
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: try out of nowhere.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: That seemed fishy.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: No, how long has the character's been together on the show.
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: They've been married for I think it's like it doesn't
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: say in the show, but I think in the writer's
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: room we talked about them being married for like five
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: or six years.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: Oh no, yeah, that's get me a question, Like yea, yeah,
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: I get it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, But we're we're excited about the show.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: We're excited that, you know, we did like a whole
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: round of press and now there's been like Emmy buzz
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: around the show, which is crazy because we're such an underdog.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: I mean that the the show is on b ET Plus,
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: which you know, only has a few million subscribers, and
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: some of the shows we're up against have millions and
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: millions of subscribers, and so we're just trying to get
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: the word out for people to watch and support. And
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: I think it's a beautiful thing because you know, b
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: ET has in some ways gotten a bad rap for
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: some of the programming in the industry, like people love,
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: people love the shows, but a lot of times they're
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: made really quickly, and and so we really, we really
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: wanted to craft this show and make bring a show
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: to a black audience that was prestige, that was premium,
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: that could be on any platform. And so we've just
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: been to yeah, and it's a beautiful way into it.
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: So yeah, we're just excited that people are showing us
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: so much love and still find in the show.
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: I said, so there's still a stigma attached with being
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: with bet you tell me. We didn't want the stigma.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: It was just some things we didn't like that what
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: they were doing, and it was just like, hey, we'd
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: rather just not be a part of it. You know.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: It's funny.
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: There are some tweets and I still call it, We'll
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: always call it Twitter, but there's some tweets where people
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: will say this show is actually good or like wow,
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: y'all this is actual, like it's a lot of actual
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: and they're shocked, and I'm like, why y'all so shocked?
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: And you know, I do think that that wasn't always
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: the business model.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: I do think that now.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: You know, Kenya Barris, who's our EP when he called
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: and said I'm going over to be ET Studios. He
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: was very clear that they that they now want to
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: make some prestige program programming by black creators, and they
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: have put you know, their money where their mouth is.
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: In our case, y'all check it out and tell us
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: if the stigma is still there. But I'm excited to
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: be a part of trying to change it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: It just breaks my heart because BT didn't start like.
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: That, like you know, when I think of like Real
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: Husbands of Hollywood and uh being married Jane, Like, they
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: had that level of programming at one point, then they
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: went away from it, and now they have it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: But they put it on BD plus because it's like
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: your show beon Cole Show. Yeah, it's Pat Show. Yeah,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: why we have more original program on Linear?
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: That's a I don't know why they do that, but
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: but b ET plus is shaping up to be a
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: little bit different from Linear and there, like you said,
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: average Joe Dion Cole Show, MS Pat is hysterical created
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: about her and Jordan Cooper. I mean, this is some
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: really great, great shows on there, and they're for everybody,
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: you know, but it is true.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: I think of b Et.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: I think of my mom watching like Tivia Smiley at
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: Night and Black Us and all that kind of stuff,
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: And so you know, there's still room for there to
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: be some meaningful art made.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Tyler programming too.
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, Now is it hard to play a character
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: whose love life is all over the place when you've
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: been married.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: It's great, it's great. I love it so much.
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: Yes, I've been married for nineteen years. I don't want
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: drawm in my relationship. I don't want to go out
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: on meeting these dudes off of a tender and that
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: y'all be doing.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: I don't want to do.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: That, so I like to ignore that y'all.
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: Damn we're all happy to marry here, right, Yes, I
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: will be. But I know I heard it's so cute.
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: We were talking about that today. Your your cute little
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: photo shoots.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: No, I like to have all that fun uh on
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: the show and not in my actual life.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: Don't feel good.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: You can just go home and not be like you know,
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: you can leave that there, Yes, and they go home
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: and then talk about it with your husband.
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: Yes, that's amazing, exactly. I do not want to be
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: out in these streets at all.
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: So nothing ain't nothing out here. I say that all
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: the time too. I'm so glad I'm not. I don't
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: have to be in these streets.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's no fun out there. So I'm good. Yeah.
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: At this point, you don't know if people want you
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: for you or you because they see you on this
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: BT plus show.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if anybody's trying to come up. I
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: I just I just am very happy. I'm at my
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: husband in college, you know, and he worked on the
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: show as well, and so we we have a great
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: working relationship. We have a great marriage.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: We have a.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Beautiful little boy.
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: I never it's funny my husband is white, and I never,
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: I know, I never.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: I never. Oh somewhere.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Doctor whom just popped into.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Hysterical, where's he from? He's from the bay.
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: Let me just say something different happened to the white
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: people in a bay.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: They're just they're just I mean, they're just cool. They're
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: just better.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're just better.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: But I definitely grew up in like a black nationalist
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: Pan African, very very black household.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Don't want to hear it, don't want he's looking he's
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: looking at you right over there.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Well my dad. My dad is probably right with him,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: you know, so it was.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: I just think it's funny, like the universe is hysterical,
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: and the universe kind of sends you whatever you need
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: to grow. They say, you know, anything you hate, anybody
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: you hate, will wind up in your family.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: And I think I think that I brought him home.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I said, guess what, y'all.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Universe wants us to grow.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: You know, the first time he came, I did try
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: to play that Guess who. I tried to play guess who.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: Jesus my dad was looking. My dad was not amused.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: How did your family take him when your first time
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: you brought him?
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: You know, I think it's always the sex of the parent,
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: that's your partner that gets more more upset, Like your
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: dad wants you to bring home a man like him.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: There's another SI I know, a white man, but that's
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: another series.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: Well I tried, I tried to sell that when the
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: showtime that that that that one didn't go.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Take your.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: But he was.
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: I think it was a trip for him. My dad
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: was a black nationalist pan African preacher for many years,
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: and I think my mother just wanted me to be
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: loved well and wanted me to be happy. You know,
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: I think black women are coming around to that much
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: much faster. They're like, are you happy? Does he treat
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: you well? And she kind of was was good, but
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: over time I think, I mean, our wedding speech was
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: my my dad's wedding speech was all about how he
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: didn't speak to white a white person until he was
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: forty Jesus. But everybody's grown, and Miles is who I
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: fell in love with and who loves me back so much.
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: That is just you know, everybody's had to get get
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: over it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: That would be like, I don't think that's gonna work.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: Like your dad don't like me.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: He never my husband. No, Miles is like, Miles is
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: so down for the for the d R. Khil Patrick. No,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: he was just he was.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: He said that my dad didn't really refer to him
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: as Miles for like the first ten years he called
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: him that guy.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: But it's more five years. I think it more five years.
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: But yeah, no, we we're just we're good. We work,
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: we work well together and he's definitely my favorite white
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: person and it's helped me.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: MS Number two, Yeah.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Are your mother in laws cooking?
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: You know what? I lucked out. She could cook better
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: than I can. She could actually cook.
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: She's from the South, and you know she makes greens
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: and corn bread, and you.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Know she's what.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: Like the meat.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: She puts bacon in it, and to be honest, I
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: actually would prefer turkey bacon or no bacon.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I know she puts in it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: She puts pork in it. She and she says she
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: has to make it with the pork too, because I've
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: asked her. But no, she's not bad. She's not bad
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: at all. Right, Yeah, they cook better than I do.
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: You almost had this d We was gonna watch the show.

• 24:36
  Speaker 7: want to know about this? Are you are black?
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: Man?
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: Is really still mad about black women of marrying white men?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: I really don't feel like y'all.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Can't you know what asked this? As Charlamagne? Charlamane has
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: some daughters.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: This is a great question. Do they have white boyfriends?
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: My oldest is fifteen, about to be sixteen, and I
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: have an eight year old, five year old.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Two year old.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: Okay, so if the a ten year old came home
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: with a white white boy, what's your what you're saying
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: to her?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't like that.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: What would you say to her?
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't say anything. But you know, to your point
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: what you said about your dad. I want to see
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: my daughter bring home somebody who looks like me. Because
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: I like black love. I'm not I'm not against interracial
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: relationships in any way, shape or form. Yeah, I just
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: like black love. I like seeing black men with black women. Yeah,
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: that's just my personal preference.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: Is around a lot of whites.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: But I was gonna say, what's she go to? What
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: school she goes to?
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I know she's still Choo's still in high school.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Right, don't you go to a black school or white.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: School or definitely predominantly white.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So it's that's the thing. That's the hard part
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: is I think, you know, I met my husband at
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: n YU. I thought there would be black men there
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: that they are They're really weren't. Donald Glover was there.
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: I can't believe we never made out or nothing. I
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: don't know where Donald Glover was. Donald Glover, I mean
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: we were at n YU at the same time.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Like that's something that you.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Feel like he wasn't looking for you either. Man there
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: is my.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: That's my point is that there weren't a lot of
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: black dudes there, a lot of Asian and a lot
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: of the ones that were.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Were queer who we love, but you know what you're.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: Gonna do with that? And and then a lot of
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: the black dudes that were there, we're looking. They were
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: breaking their next look as soon as they got off
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: the plane to look for for white women and the
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: Asian women and everything else. So I you know, I
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: feel like black dudes are would be like, yes, go
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: marry who makes you happy?
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: Because we didn't. We didn't pick you.
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: I think everybody I think you should marry who makes
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: you happy. You just asked me what I what I
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: like to see. I like to see black men with
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: black black women with black men, beautiful black family. Not
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: saying all families can't be beautiful. They can, of course,
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: you asked me what I like.
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: Oh I can't wait. I want to have this conversation again.
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: When she gets to college to school. You better pray
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: for Howard because if she going you might be in trouble.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not.
