0:07
Speaker 1: the World Breakfast Club if not here today, but we
0:12
Speaker 1: got two special guests. We got Marcet Martin and Kelly Rolling. Hell,
0:16
Speaker 1: what's happening in good Morning Morning? New movie Fantasy Football
0:21
Speaker 1: starts November twenty fifth. What's that about? Well, it's about
0:25
Speaker 1: fancy football, are you not? People a lot of fantasy
0:28
Speaker 1: football legit, like you know, add my dad to it,
0:32
Speaker 1: like he he loves the whole concept. And yeah, basically
0:35
Speaker 1: it's about the whole Coleman house. I play Kelly Coleman,
0:38
Speaker 1: which is the daughter Keshia Coleman, which is my mom.
0:41
Speaker 1: And Anne Mary Hardwick is my dad, who is also
0:44
Speaker 1: an NFL player, and he's been the game for a
0:47
Speaker 1: long time, you know, one of heisman a long time ago.
0:50
Speaker 1: But he's still in his career. But then again, he's
0:54
Speaker 1: kind of in that age where he needs to retire.
0:55
Speaker 1: He's a great bench player. He's a great bench player.
0:58
Speaker 1: You know, everyone agrees that he should be stepping out
1:01
Speaker 1: of his way, letting someone else, you know, lead the path,
1:03
Speaker 1: but he still believes in himself and his daughter, which
1:07
Speaker 1: plays me, which plays me, which I portray Um is
1:12
Speaker 1: really great at Madden. She's very tech savvy, super smart,
1:15
Speaker 1: mature beyond her years, and long story shorts, the craziness
1:19
Speaker 1: happens and she ends up being able to control her
1:23
Speaker 1: dad in the game Madden, So whatever he does in
1:27
Speaker 1: real life it's because of her. So he she controls
1:30
Speaker 1: every every different type of fantasy. It's it's like a
1:36
Speaker 1: Freaky Friday type of up the way that it all happens.
1:39
Speaker 1: What I love about your role in this is that
1:41
Speaker 1: as a young woman, you're super tech savvy but also
1:44
Speaker 1: great at Madden, because I think typically we don't look
1:46
Speaker 1: at like a young girl as sitting there playing Madden
1:49
Speaker 1: beating all the guys and everything. Yeah, exactly, and that's
1:51
Speaker 1: exactly her, Yeah for sure. And that's what kind of
1:55
Speaker 1: drew me into it is because it was so unique,
1:57
Speaker 1: and I know there's so many girls out there that
1:58
Speaker 1: love those type of games. I like with me as well.
2:01
Speaker 1: I'm not good at Madden, but I am a big
2:04
Speaker 1: video game person, So being able to portray someone like that,
2:07
Speaker 1: it's pretty Kelly, You're a mom in real life, see
2:10
Speaker 1: not to of no eighteen year old, So when you
2:13
Speaker 1: get that call, you're like, what do you mean? You
2:14
Speaker 1: on me to play the mom of an eighteen yold.
2:16
Speaker 1: It's actually down it. Okay, let's go, you know, I'll
2:19
Speaker 1: just be a young mom, okay. Is something about you know,
2:25
Speaker 1: what's going on right now, Like say with Tom Brady,
2:27
Speaker 1: he retired, but then he you know, decided not to retire,
2:31
Speaker 1: and then his relationship suffer from it, and just seeing
2:34
Speaker 1: that kind of I thought about that, you know, watching
2:37
Speaker 1: this and how that plays out, because it's kind of like, Okay,
2:39
Speaker 1: you've been playing this long and we want to just
2:42
Speaker 1: settle down here and stay in one place, and I
2:44
Speaker 1: have to move around. And you know, the disappointment though
2:47
Speaker 1: that a man would have who's been playing in the
2:49
Speaker 1: NFL his whole life, that's all he knows, and his
2:51
Speaker 1: ego really can suffer, you know, from being told, Okay,
2:55
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get no playing time, you know, and
2:57
Speaker 1: this younger, up and coming NFL player could be the
3:01
Speaker 1: face of the brand, and it just I'm sure for
3:03
Speaker 1: any man who's played in the NFL would make you
3:05
Speaker 1: feel away, because we always are like, why doesn't he
3:07
Speaker 1: just retire right exactly? And that's that's like the whole
3:10
Speaker 1: point of the whole entire project. We have Rome Flann
3:13
Speaker 1: who plays the new upcomer quarterback, like, you know, ready
3:17
Speaker 1: to take Bobby Coleman spot, which is of course is
3:20
Speaker 1: a Mari So it's it's all that for sure. Yeah,
3:23
Speaker 1: either of you in the actual fantasy football like real
3:25
Speaker 1: life fantasy football? Do you have a team in real
3:33
Speaker 1: life you like? No, it's usually Tim's team, which is
3:38
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. But I do love watching Tom Brady.
3:42
Speaker 1: I loved watching Tom Brady. He had like a different
3:45
Speaker 1: kind of like mentality. For sure. It feels like y'all
3:49
Speaker 1: got like a sibling relationship more than mother daughter and he.
3:52
Speaker 1: When I see ya all online doing like the tiktoks
3:54
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, does that play out
3:57
Speaker 1: in real life? Like how did y'all develop that in
3:58
Speaker 1: real life? Yeah? I mean how would you describe it?
4:00
Speaker 1: I mean our bond, I don't I don't really know,
4:03
Speaker 1: because a lot of people are like, oh, see, like
4:04
Speaker 1: you're Auntie. I'm like, I don't even know. She's just
4:09
Speaker 1: such a cool person to be around, and you know, yeah,
4:12
Speaker 1: I think in the back of my head, no, you're good.
4:15
Speaker 1: I think in the back of my head, I'm like, gosh,
4:17
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to be auntie guys, although but I'm
4:22
Speaker 1: not ready to know you're not. I heard you on
4:24
Speaker 1: blues album Young Blue. Oh yes this song freak Freak. Yes, yes,
4:28
Speaker 1: I was like, no, she's not no auntie us when
4:33
Speaker 1: you heard the freak freaks. No, I didn't like the title.
4:38
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, freak freak. I say, people will talk
4:41
Speaker 1: about you online too, And that savage fancy show you
4:45
Speaker 1: did that you did and she killed it, Say something,
4:50
Speaker 1: say something, just because you watched this girl grow up,
4:53
Speaker 1: that does not mean you know, maybe you think she's
4:56
Speaker 1: your niece in real life. Yeah, the truth is that
4:58
Speaker 1: she's eighteen. Like I do remember, like you know, people
5:01
Speaker 1: like feeling like they should probably like you know, say
5:04
Speaker 1: well you you're still too little or we they've watched
5:07
Speaker 1: you grow up in front of their eyes, so they
5:09
Speaker 1: feel like they kind of like not on you. But no,
5:13
Speaker 1: they don't want to see you, know, like like you know,
5:17
Speaker 1: they feel some type of protection over you. And you know,
5:19
Speaker 1: I would you know, I would expect that, I mean
5:22
Speaker 1: for sure, especially watching me for so long, like they've
5:24
Speaker 1: watched me since I was eight, So you know, I
5:27
Speaker 1: think a lot of people will will think to themselves like, oh,
5:30
Speaker 1: like she's growing up too fast or whatever. But I
5:33
Speaker 1: believe I'm I'm on the right track, I'm on the
5:35
Speaker 1: right pace, I'm doing what I love it. It was tasteful, yeah,
5:38
Speaker 1: I mean it was, and I feel like I'm all like,
5:41
Speaker 1: you know, I can't speak for everybody else, but I
5:43
Speaker 1: believe I'm always I'm always like that. I always say
5:45
Speaker 1: treated myself and you know, I would never put myself
5:48
Speaker 1: out there like that if I didn't want to. So,
5:51
Speaker 1: you know, I I think like I'm eighteen now, I'm
5:54
Speaker 1: stepping foot and you know, eventually you got to kind
5:56
Speaker 1: of come into your own. And that doesn't mean body
5:59
Speaker 1: wise or whatever. I'm just meaning just overall mentally in life,
6:02
Speaker 1: you know. But Marseille gave them a walk. Yes, she
6:07
Speaker 1: gave them myself at like four or five o'clock in
6:10
Speaker 1: the morning when we were filming. So that's what through
6:12
Speaker 1: everybody off. She came out there with this body and
6:15
Speaker 1: this walk, and she was like, this is the moment.
6:18
Speaker 1: You can relate to that feeling because for you growing
6:21
Speaker 1: up in this business and people saw you as a
6:23
Speaker 1: teenager and then it's hard for them, like you gotta
6:26
Speaker 1: you know, time you're kidding me. The women at my
6:29
Speaker 1: mother's church would pull my skirt down and it was
6:33
Speaker 1: already to my knees, like almost to my knees, but
6:37
Speaker 1: they would always be like, oh, yeah, I'm faby to
6:39
Speaker 1: be talking to you, and just slowly put your shirt
6:41
Speaker 1: down and fix your top so it's closed. Like I
6:44
Speaker 1: still have people do that to me. I'm forty one.
6:46
Speaker 1: Who the hell still does that to you? Nobody? Really interesting?
6:53
Speaker 1: You realize that October twenty seven, just a few weeks ago,
6:55
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth anniversary of a Destiny Child No No
6:57
Speaker 1: No single being released. Are you serio? Yeah? Okay, yeah,
7:02
Speaker 1: I think it was October twenty seven, nineteen ninety seven.
7:09
Speaker 1: Did you know that I did it? How does that feel?
7:14
Speaker 1: How did that feel now that you know that twenty
7:17
Speaker 1: five years I am blessed to still be here in
7:20
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Yeah. That's beautiful than driving and also
7:24
Speaker 1: helping other people thrive too, And I think that's important,
7:27
Speaker 1: just the experience that you've had as an artist and
7:29
Speaker 1: then helping other groups too and other people in the
7:31
Speaker 1: music business. Yeah, that's good, March said, you also produced this, Yes,
7:36
Speaker 1: I did. Congratulations Another one, another one, to me and
7:40
Speaker 1: my company. We're very very proud, for sure. What's the
7:43
Speaker 1: dynamic of starring in the film that you you produced?
7:46
Speaker 1: It's hard, it's it's very underrated out hard really well,
7:52
Speaker 1: I mean well one with this one in particular, it
7:56
Speaker 1: was such a quick turnaround because we filmed it back
7:58
Speaker 1: in April, so now that it's coming out later on
8:02
Speaker 1: this year, you have adr we started editing like a
8:06
Speaker 1: week after we wrapped. It was just a whole bunch
8:10
Speaker 1: of stuff that had to come into play, and you know,
8:12
Speaker 1: especially for press, like bringing that on as well. It's
8:14
Speaker 1: just such everything is so quick. But my parents are
8:18
Speaker 1: also part of my production company. My dad's president and
8:21
Speaker 1: my mom's vice president. So yeah, it's pretty lit. It's
8:25
Speaker 1: pretty lit, and I'm very very happy that I get
8:27
Speaker 1: to be in this journey with them. For sure. Have
8:30
Speaker 1: to find one of them one day, Oh, I mean
8:33
Speaker 1: I could, but like me and my parents like but
8:47
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, my parents are just there. I
8:50
Speaker 1: feel like I would say they're built different, Like they
8:52
Speaker 1: are so real, They're so kind and like I just
8:54
Speaker 1: feel like I can tell them anything. They're like my
8:56
Speaker 1: best friends for sure, and um, they don't like even
9:00
Speaker 1: though they are like my co workers in a sense.
9:02
Speaker 1: They still see me as their daughter and they want
9:04
Speaker 1: to protect me and keep me safe as well and
9:06
Speaker 1: making sure that I'm in the lane that I want
9:09
Speaker 1: to take on my own. But when it came to set,
9:11
Speaker 1: like I would observe, I would see things. You know,
9:15
Speaker 1: I had a bunch of people around me as well,
9:17
Speaker 1: so you know, during lunch we would be talking like
9:20
Speaker 1: the different things that I noticed, different things I would see,
9:23
Speaker 1: and then vice versa, and that's kind of how it went.
9:25
Speaker 1: But man, it was hard. It was really really hard.
9:28
Speaker 1: But you know I am I'm very grateful that everyone
9:31
Speaker 1: is excited. We were excited filming it and creating it,
9:34
Speaker 1: and yeah, I think it's just magic and overall just
9:38
Speaker 1: even creating a film, you know, like I don't really
9:41
Speaker 1: care how how the streams are, how many people watch it.
9:44
Speaker 1: The fact that we made a film with great people
9:47
Speaker 1: that we loved and support and brought everybody together that
9:50
Speaker 1: we really do care about is just you know, a
9:52
Speaker 1: big accomplishment in itself. For sure. I feel like it's
9:54
Speaker 1: going to do really well because it's super entertaining. And
9:57
Speaker 1: then fantasy football is such a big deal, like everybody's
10:00
Speaker 1: so into it, and I think just the premise of it.
10:02
Speaker 1: I've never heard this as a storyline. It's hard to
10:05
Speaker 1: create something that hasn't been done before. No, absolutely, and
10:08
Speaker 1: I think that's the beauty in it as well, especially
10:10
Speaker 1: if you know people are intrigued and interested in about it.
10:13
Speaker 1: But it also helps too that Madden and EA Sports
10:17
Speaker 1: are a part of it too, so we could really
10:18
Speaker 1: be realistic and make sure everything is down to the
10:22
Speaker 1: tea for sure, And there was a lot of meetings
10:25
Speaker 1: revolving around that and making sure like the brand, and
10:29
Speaker 1: also there was you know, I see scripts of course
10:33
Speaker 1: as drafts, and then also like the movie was re
10:37
Speaker 1: edited multiple times, so when we brought it to Madden,
10:39
Speaker 1: they're like, oh we can't do that, or oh we
10:41
Speaker 1: don't do that, or they're supposed to put this on, like,
10:44
Speaker 1: you know, we had to make sure all of those
10:45
Speaker 1: things were down to the tea. So I'm very grateful
10:47
Speaker 1: that they were a part of it too. And it
10:50
Speaker 1: was so funny because my dad is a big football
10:52
Speaker 1: person as well, So when it came down to what
10:55
Speaker 1: team Bobby Coleman was gonna play for, everybody had like
11:00
Speaker 1: for the meeting everyone had Broncos gear or Dad would
11:02
Speaker 1: be drinking from a Raiders cup and I was like,
11:05
Speaker 1: bro like, but you know, we're really glad we get
11:09
Speaker 1: to kind of shine a light on Atlanta like like
11:12
Speaker 1: we did in this film. For sure, we can tell
11:14
Speaker 1: you come from like a healthy black family. So when
11:15
Speaker 1: you're producing, how important is it to see healthy black
11:18
Speaker 1: families on the screen. Oh, It's beyond important for sure.
11:21
Speaker 1: I feel like, Um, it shows authenticity, it shows real realness.
11:25
Speaker 1: And I think having being able to have an opportunity
11:29
Speaker 1: to work with people like Kelly and Omari and to
11:33
Speaker 1: just to see people and different families of all different
11:36
Speaker 1: cultures just exist and be able to just have regular
11:40
Speaker 1: conversations that you would have in your own household is
11:42
Speaker 1: very important for sure. You know. So, now, Kelly, people
11:46
Speaker 1: have been wanting you to play Donna Summer. Is there
11:49
Speaker 1: any talks about that or is it I'm just gonna
11:52
Speaker 1: be quiet for right now. I'm just gonna be quiet. Oh,
11:56
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be quiet for right now. Because she
11:58
Speaker 1: has a fascinating story biography, and so a lot of
12:04
Speaker 1: that story also focuses on his relationship. Um, you know,
12:08
Speaker 1: business guys. But Donna summer and the things that she
12:10
Speaker 1: kind of went through. Well, the funny thing is is,
12:12
Speaker 1: you know, I think that there's so many beautiful things
12:16
Speaker 1: happening with her estate, and it's really I can't say
12:22
Speaker 1: too much. I'll just shut up. So when so when
12:25
Speaker 1: they re stot to you and ask you to play
12:27
Speaker 1: the round stopping, no one, no stopping, don't stopping. This
12:30
Speaker 1: is very very early. But what I will say is
12:32
Speaker 1: that Donna has Donna's summer, excuse me, has an illustrious
12:36
Speaker 1: life and it's so beautiful, and I think that seeing
12:39
Speaker 1: it on screen would be so incredibly entertaining and mind
12:45
Speaker 1: blowing and worth watching for anyone. I agree, And um, yeah,
12:51
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna kill it. I cannot wait. You
12:53
Speaker 1: are so funny, man, I cannot wait that. I mean,
12:57
Speaker 1: I'm not just hypothetically. Is that pressure when you're a
13:00
Speaker 1: musical artist having to play another musical artist? I mean
13:04
Speaker 1: when you start to look at all these different Um,
13:09
Speaker 1: what's love got to do with it? Too? How many
13:11
Speaker 1: are there? And like the great ones like really impact culture.
13:15
Speaker 1: So when you're doing it, you want to impact culture
13:17
Speaker 1: the way those films? Did you know? We still talk
13:19
Speaker 1: about the Five Party we still talk about the American Dream,
13:23
Speaker 1: we still talk about peace. Wasn't it real? Here? I
13:27
Speaker 1: found out it wasn't right, I know, But I mean
13:30
Speaker 1: you find these places too, and you hear these stories
13:32
Speaker 1: to base it off of, like all these different things.
13:34
Speaker 1: But anyways, it's yeah, it's it's a lot so beautiful.
13:38
Speaker 1: And you're also a person that who one day somebody's
13:40
Speaker 1: gonna be playing you in a biopic? Who is that wild?
13:44
Speaker 1: Of course? Yeah, that's gonna happen. That's gonna happen, you
13:47
Speaker 1: to Marseilles right right in a biopic too. Yeah. Have
13:54
Speaker 1: you ever thought about who you don't want to play you?
13:56
Speaker 1: I haven't, would you want to say? I got said, yeah, no,
14:05
Speaker 1: I'm not going No, no, actually I haven't even thought
14:09
Speaker 1: about it. The interesting thing is, I haven't even thought
14:12
Speaker 1: about it like that. And when time comes out, it
14:15
Speaker 1: was if it comes, if it comes, it will come
14:18
Speaker 1: for sure because your story. Thanks. Who helps you with
14:22
Speaker 1: your finances? Because somebody in this room thirty thousand dollars
14:25
Speaker 1: and thirty minutes when they were younger, So who helps
14:27
Speaker 1: you with your finances? Okay? Yeah, okay. As soon as
14:32
Speaker 1: I turned eighteen, um, I had a whole meeting with
14:35
Speaker 1: my accountants and everybody who is in charge of finances
14:39
Speaker 1: and my family and my world, and um, yeah, I
14:42
Speaker 1: mean that's one of the first things you think about
14:44
Speaker 1: when you turn eighteen is like you gotta pay bills.
14:46
Speaker 1: Now you gotta figure out houses or where you gotta be.
14:50
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I know that's how it's sad,
14:55
Speaker 1: but I think, uh, having the parents that I have,
14:58
Speaker 1: they were very like making sure that I just easily.
15:03
Speaker 1: Of course I still live with themself, but I do
15:05
Speaker 1: have investment property kind of everywhere. So I'm very very roan.
15:09
Speaker 1: Who lets you do that, Who lets you spend that?
15:11
Speaker 1: Thirty lets me do anything? Okay, but I know I
15:16
Speaker 1: got I mean, I have kids. I have like like
15:20
Speaker 1: full on like responsibilities, like when it's not just the house,
15:23
Speaker 1: it's like the kids and they school and extra money
15:27
Speaker 1: your school might want like even now, you know what
15:29
Speaker 1: I mean. It's so many different things, but definitely investments.
15:32
Speaker 1: I'm having a lot of fun with investments. No, they're
15:35
Speaker 1: fun and exciting and you get to flip houses work
15:38

15:42
Speaker 1: you were like I did this for that, you know,
15:45
Speaker 1: you get you're definitely like bummed. But I do think
15:48
Speaker 1: that the earlier you find out about your finances, the
15:52
Speaker 1: better you are on the other side, more responsible when
15:55
Speaker 1: you are on the other side. Like I said, I've
15:57
Speaker 1: had money, lost money, had money again, and I'm grateful
16:00
Speaker 1: that I'm in a space now to where I'm like, oh,
16:02
Speaker 1: I'm learning and this is fun. Now it's fun. I
16:05
Speaker 1: don't like to, you know, cut the checkens League like
16:08
Speaker 1: that part of the Texas Go. I'm like, dang, you
16:11
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But you understand how the world
16:13
Speaker 1: runs and works. Yeah, but I thought this was in
16:16
Speaker 1: the beginning of your career when you spent that kind
16:18
Speaker 1: of money so fast. The thirty thousand and thirty minute,
