3:53
you a chance to tell them a little bit about you. Go ahead,
3:57
okay, Hi, knew, listen, tell y'all doing. My name is
4:00
Chanelle. I write mostly romance, Christian fiction, women's fiction. Whatever,
4:06
John, and you want to put it in. It's always a sister in
4:09
the book, and there's always a little bit of love, because what would
4:13
the world be without a little bit of you know, gotta have a little
4:15
bit of some sum in the book, right. So there Christian fiction books,
4:19
which means basically that redemption is a big part of the story arc.
4:24
So you're going to have someone that's gonna have some things going on in life,
4:28
and of course you know with the redemption of Christ, they're going to
4:31
get it all together at the end, at the very end. Then you
4:35
go, so, I wanna you just talk about women's fiction. Yeah,
4:41
that is a new genre that is very hot in the library. Between women's
4:46
fiction and rom calm, they're becoming. To me this it's like when Harry
4:55
meant Sally type books. Yes, yeah, the wrong. It's too mushy,
5:03
mushy for me, not like some romance. But me and his dog,
5:09
we took a screwing a stroll. So that it is always just funny.
5:15
You mention that because it's always some type of animal. A dog or
5:19
the cat gets sick or something and they bump into each other and now they
5:25
have the dogs on the cover and the cats on the animal lovers, and
5:29
I got an aunt who had almost every single animal we have ever dream of.
5:33
But y'all be running now when y'all be putting the dog and the cat
5:36
in the book, and the dog and the cat got a point of view
5:39
in the book. See y'all running out, I said, So I do
5:43
have a cat. She doesn't have a point of view though, but I
5:45
do have a cat in real what's her name? Nalo? No? Yeah,
5:54
when she tries to type, she gets in the ways time. I
5:57
was just about the laptop. Yeah, knowledge try to write the books too,
6:01
Oh okay, now giving a viewpoint in the book, No, no,
6:06
st women's fiction, strictly women's fiction. Yeah, but when you were
6:11
saying women's fiction is hot now right, Like yeah, So as an author,
6:16
how do you how do you stay true to the women's fiction? I
6:20
mean, I know the main character has to be a woman in nine times
6:24
ten, the issue in the book is surrounded by some type of I'm gonna
6:29
say this wrong, but I'm just gonna you just word womanly need or issue.
6:32
So how do you stay true to that outside of being like a super
6:38
girly girl. I mean, I'm I was the oldest of three girls,
6:43
I did the whole sorority life. Like I'm I've embraced womanhood. I love
6:48
womanhood. I think it's a super power itself. My shirt that's powerful.
6:55
Shout out to Malibu Being check her out on Instagram. A right, yeah,
7:01
So I just I embraced womanhood. I think it's a I think it's
7:05
a gift from God to be a woman. Actually, not to go that
7:10
whole super feminist route, because that's not the angle. It's just enjoying and
7:15
loving and celebrating being who I was created to be as a woman. I
7:18
think that's a powerful thing. So, and we have a lot of stories,
7:21
a lot of untold stories, you know, a lot of times with
7:24
a silent hero, and a lot of a lot of dramas, a lot
7:29
of tales. So I enjoy bringing that out. I enjoy writing about us,
7:33
and that is that's a great thing because a lot of the books that
7:38
I see, they are about women, but these women are older of an
7:43
age, elderly and or somehow one another. There's American, a male character
7:49
that comes in and takes to shine from the woman. So I do like
7:54
this new genre line. And y'ah, it is literally called woman's right,
8:01
the women's fiction. So women's fiction Christian fiction. It's a beautiful marriage.
8:11
I think. So you did it greatly, thank you, thank you well.
8:18
You know were Christians fiction that's all inspired by Christ. Like you have
8:22
to have a spiritual relationship. You have to be kind of in tune,
8:26
or you'll either do it well enough to where it'll work but it won't be
8:31
impactful, or you'll be super impactful without giving reverence to who why you're impactful.
8:41
Right, So I can't sit up here and be like, oh,
8:43
yes, I wrote. I wrote the book and it was and I was
8:46
amazing in it. No, like, it was truly a work of Christ.
8:50
It was a lot of laboring. It was a lot of tears shed
8:54
in writing this last book because I had to come to terms with a lot
8:56
of things myself, as you know, a woman, And so with the
9:01
marriage of Christian fiction and women's fiction, it's really just allowing Christ to be
9:05
the head and the scent of my life and then allowing what He's created me
9:11
as a woman to shine through on the page. But this book in particular
9:16
was there were a lot of tears. Shit, it was. It was
9:18
a lot of crime going on, and it was that a great thing or
9:24
it was it was It was a good thing for me because it allowed me
9:28
to purge some emotions and some things, you know, and it made the
9:33
story authentic. There is a quote by I was reading. I hope I
9:39
don't misquote it. It's either Stephen King or James Scott Bell, one of
9:45
the two. I've been reading a lot of books on writing. And he
9:48
said, no, if there are no tears in the writer, then there
9:52
are no tears in the reader. And that resonated was like, wow,
9:56
okay, and this I read that before I started crying while writing with the
10:00
book. But it's true. If I don't feel it as I'm writing it,
10:05
then how do I expect the reader to understand the magnitude of hurt that
10:11
Vanessa's going through what she graduates in that first chapter? That is a wow
10:20
the Aha movie. And that's why I think I love I won't say independent,
10:31
but I love authors that does not have that mainstream backing behind it,
10:37
because for me, sometimes it feels like they lose exactly what you say.
10:43
There was an author who was a mainstream author that's coming out with another book,
10:48
and she was on this radio show here in Charlson, South Carolina,
10:52
and she was talking about her book. Okay, there's a new book and
10:56
this author is very very very known in urban fiction. And she said something
11:03
and I promised myself I was never going to get another book for her.
11:07
She said, I don't care if they don't like my book. I've already
11:09
been paid for it. Oh wow, oh okay, cool, I've never
11:15
read it. And then I had the book came to the library, very
11:20
popular author, urban author. People bring that book black left to right there.
11:24
It's like that book's bad. It's wow. Yes, And now she's
11:28
coming out with another book and a lot of people are now like, we
11:33
don't know about this, we don't know about this, but exactly huh,
11:39
that's sad. It was because she had such a huge following. She had
11:46
such an impact with her first book that it has been on best sellings.
11:52
It is one of the African American go toss books that you oh you yeah,
11:58
just so on the African American reading can't take this way, that's one
12:01
of those ones that we automatic. But it was very very wow And for
12:09
you for you to say that, it's like, I see why she on
12:13
my like liss on your like list. I think that I'm so every author
12:22
would love to be able to write full time and just to be able to
12:24
do this as you know their theme, and of course that takes capital.
12:30
But I would pray I would never get so big that I forget the reason
12:33
why you know, and yes, it's true once and in her case,
12:37
if she's a big mainstream author, she has been paid. So whether you
12:41
like the book or not, she's already paid. But at the center of
12:45
writing is I'm writing for the audience. Like I want you to read the
12:50
book. I want you to like the book, and I want you to
12:52
not only just leave a review, but correspond with me. Let's talk about
12:58
the book. What did you know? If there was something you didn't like?
13:01
Why didn't you like it? But why didn't you like that about the
13:03
book? Let's have that conversation. You know, was it a technical issue
13:07
or was it just a character issue? Because truth be told, there are
13:09
several characters I've written that I didn't really like either, and if we might
13:13
have that conversation, like I didn't like I didn't like her either. That's
13:16
Shelby and sitting on the fence. I had a reader I didn't like Shelby
13:22
Girl me neither. She got on my nerves the whole folk chapter she was
13:26
in, she said, for the whole four chapter. She got on my
13:33
nerves the whole time. So I would I would hope that I would always
13:37
maintain a sense of just friendship with the reader, because that's what it's about.
13:43
Like if I'm not if we're not friends, if we're not dialoguing about
13:48
these characters. These characters have lived in my head for X amount of months
13:52
or weeks or however long. I need some real life people to know these
13:56
folks, right, we gonna know these folks. Because Vanessa, Oh,
14:03
chapter one, I felt so sorry for baby girl. I just felt my
14:07
heart went out to her to choose between I don't want to tell y'all much
14:15
of the books, but I don't do choose between being a writer and teaching
14:20
correct because there was somebody else that he was being a nurse. Yeah.
14:24
Yes, I love how the way she came to the the choice, because
14:33
she says that she so has the opportunity to do it while she becomes a
14:35
teacher. But you can really tell that her heart wasn't writing. Yeah,
14:41
and then to not have her mother with her for support. Yeah, yeah,
14:48
and and dad was kind of I don't know. To me, it
14:52
seemed like it was kind of strict, very very strict. So the beauty
14:56
of Vanessa's story and I think one of the reasons why I cried so much,
15:00
and I think I wrote this in the possibly in the back of the
15:03
book or on a blog post. Vanessa's story parallels my own very closely.
15:13
Wow. So like Vanessa, I had to make the choice my mother.
15:18
My mother wasn't the support system in that respect. Her Her support came from
15:24
wanting her children to have stability. So she was very much you're not gonna
15:28
be a starving artist. You need a job. Book. Yes, I
15:37
did quote my mom. Yeah, you're not gonna be a artist, you
15:41
need a job, So you put these journals up and get you a degree
15:48
in some For me, teaching was it was creative, right. I could
15:56
be creative. I could still read books, I could talk about books,
16:00
and I could still have a job. So I in turn finishing when I
16:06
finished up my program, I finished up in education and talked for a while,
16:11
so I knew, I know the longing of wanting to do a but
16:18
needing to eat and have a roof over your head and have the stability and
16:22
not really being in a generation where you can do both. Like this new
16:26
generation of people we have, they they invincible. They can do everything.
16:32
I'm generation X. You went to work for a good company and you got
16:37
you a four and one CA and a pension if you was lucky, and
16:41
then you died. So generation but they can do everything. I don't even
16:48
know if they know what fool monkey is. No, and they probably don't
16:52
care because a lot of them are. You know, they're retiring at thirty.
16:57
I didn't fit. I didn't go back to school till I was thirty.
17:00
They're retiring at thirty. It's like they're setting their pace. But then
17:07
I'm looking at yeah, wore getting a good duck. I have better have
17:15
a backup plan and so. But I admire that about them because during the
17:22
time when I was growing up, and you know, we were growing up
17:25
in the cultivating life, it was you go this way and this is what
17:29
you do. Now there's a sense of you don't have to just be one
17:33
thing, right, you can be and in the writing space, if you
17:37
want to be a writer, you pretty much have to be more than one
17:41
thing. In the beginning, like, if you know you're lucky enough to
17:44
get that significant deal and you know they give you fifty thousand dollars to write
17:49
a book, then that's a beautiful. But for the majority of us,
17:53
you have to do two things like you're writing and you're doing another profession,
17:57
or you're writing and you're doing another job, which is totally fine. But
18:03
I didn't know that growing up. I, like Vanessa, was you,
18:07
you're not gonna be a star of an artist, so go ahead and put
18:11
them pencils up, then get you a nine to five. That was That
18:18
was just our generation. We put our majority, I won't say, all
18:25
put out hopes and dreams on the backburn so we can achieve that American dream
18:30
nine hours. But the American dream. Yes, but yeah, that that's
18:37
true. Now you know we're on jobs for like twenty thirty years. You
18:41
know we're veterans, and now you got people in like six months, I
18:45
don't like this job out and we'll leave, yes, and we'll not let
18:51
the people stress them out. We sit like, look at that, well,
18:56
not let do. I truly admire that about and I've learned that from
19:03
my younger counterparts to there's so much life out here to live. Are you
19:07
serious? These people are trash? Quick do something else? She said,
19:12
trash. We can do this, we can, we can, we can
19:15
lead. We like we can. We can find something else. We can
19:18
be something else. And my younger counterparts so like, yeah, come on,
19:22
let's be something else. Okay, but it works. It worked.
19:27
So that's how I kind of weaved it into the story. It's Vanessa's understanding
19:32
and learning that, you know, you can be more than one thing,
19:37
and of all the things you can be, you need to be what God
19:41
called you to be. And that is that was her struggle, because you
19:48
can fall into the trap of you know, well I gotta go like this.
19:52
But if you're being led to go this way, your success is going
19:57
to be that way. You're in pact is going to be that way,
20:00
you know. So that's the crux of the story. It's it's literally called
20:06
standing on the enemy because it's really the enermy, It's not the outside.
20:12
The force is really inside because as you've been reading, she's very insecure about
20:18
stuff. Yes, the enemy is really herself. She's very she's very insecure.
20:22
She makes decisions based on other people's views, reactions and views of Yes,
20:30
versus what she knows to be true, what she believes in her heart
20:33
to be true. And that's just something that I've had to overcome as a
20:37
woman. I've talked to women that have had had to overcome that as women.
20:41
That's just that's something in our society where a lot of times we're making
20:47
our decisions not based on what we like, but based on the majority or
20:53
what we feel we have to like, like what we feel we have to
20:56
look like, how we have to sound, how we have to because the
21:00
powers that be say this, you know, and it's endemic in our culture
21:07
today, because you know, you gotta love this way and add this,
21:11
you know, you have to. It's gotta be like this for it to
21:15
be right. And if you ain't like this and you're not right, like
21:18
no, what is your true self telling you? What is your what is
21:22
what is your true self? What is the Holy spirit inside of you?
21:26
Is your true self? What is that spirit telling you to do? Be
21:30
safe? Half? See, we might have to take a break to see.
21:37
We're gonna have to We're gonna have to come back, and we're gonna
21:38
take a break. You guys, you know, come back, Just just
21:45
come back. Everybody m M. Good. The book A Song for Soka,
21:53
written by David Harris, is a powerful historical fiction centering around the life
21:59
and character of Moses's future wife Zipporah before they met. Book author David Harris
22:04
brings the reader into the relationship between Moses and Zappora, which was gradual and
22:10
lush. The story unfolds beautifully when Moses finally acts Suppora to marry him.
22:15
Purchase your copy of the book detailing this authentic story, A Song for Zappora
22:19
by David Harris today. It's available online at Barnes Andnoble and Amazon dot com.
22:27
Yes, So I really want to talk about this relationship that Vanessa and
22:34
her dad has. They're hurting for the same person, Yeah, doing it
22:41
two different ways. I'm like, so, okay, so the movie and
22:52
when she gets to this point where she they're at a battle and she's like,
22:57
I'm not her, I'm not her. That's a very very significant part
23:04
for me because I don't think that they both realized that they were hurting the
23:08
same for the same person, but in two different ways. Were you wanting
23:14
that to come through that way or I mean that seems like a big part.
23:21
That is a big part. It's him wanting to protect her because she
23:26
is all he has left of his wife, right, and he's seeing the
23:34
creativity and the beauty that he fell in love when he fell in love with
23:37
his wife. He fell in love with her creativity and her beauty and that's
23:42
what's echoed through Vanessa. But yeah, protect that. So he doesn't want
23:48
her because remember in the her mom died going to chase her dream so she
23:56
he wants to protect that part of her because he's scared if she goes and
24:02
chases those dreams, he's gonna lose her too. And that's all he has
24:04
left of his wife. I mean, you know, he got his son,
24:08
but come on, he says, he does everything he's supposed to do
24:18
with he a mess. So for him, that's that her And then for
24:22
her, she's missing the understanding and the freedom that her mom brought to her
24:29
because her mother was the only person that really truly understood her gifting and really
24:36
truly shined in her giftings. It's weird because her mother's name, her mother
24:41
is named after a friend of mine who I don't care what I do on
24:47
this earth. She's gonna support I mean, I promise you. I could
24:51
get out here and I can write, he can ridiculary Dog fifty times on
24:56
a book and be like, this is my new book, y'all. And
24:59
she's going to be right there for me. She's gonna be right there for
25:03
me. Her name is Yolanda as well. She's gonna be right there for
25:06
me. And she's the person like all major decisions have run through her.
25:10
Like when I went back to school, I called her. When I got
25:14
mad, I was getting married again, I called her, Like all major
25:17
decisions run through her. She's that support system. So I wanted to make
25:21
sure that her mother had a significant role. That significant role that her mother
25:27
had in her life kind of kind of shining through the pages. So that's
25:32
where she comes from. But her Vanessa's hurting because that's that person. Prior
25:37
to my friend, my grandmother was my person. And so when I lost
25:42
my grandmother. I remember I was in college. I was producing a play
25:45
that I had written, and I lost my my grandmother. Was like,
25:49
I'm gonna get out of the hospital. I'm gonna go see Chanelle's play.
25:52
And my grandmother passed away and I shut the whole production down. I walked
25:56
in, I collected everybody's scripts, and I told everybody never mind, and
26:03
thank you so much, because when you lose that person that you may not
26:11
ever have a thousand people, a thousand true fans. You may never have,
26:18
you know, a hundred booksell You just might fifty people might buy a
26:22
book, and truthfully, that's more than enough. And I'm so grateful for
26:25
everyone that has purchased the book. But it might just be fifty. And
26:29
that's okay because God always gives you some a point of light, someone to
26:33
say, hey, it's okay, you got this right. So when my
26:37
grandmother passed for me, I didn't know how to go on. Like I
26:44
just thought it was over, and I really stopped writing and hadn't written for
26:47
quite some time after she passed. I didn't start writing again and publishing until
26:52
I got into my thirties. She got in my I was barely in my
26:53
twenties when she passed, so I truly understand them Grandma's yeah, So that's
27:02
that's what that sense of loss is for Vanessa and then also for her dad.
27:07
So they're doing emotions and like you said, for the same person,
27:12
the same person. Yeah, hold on, I just realized something in the
27:18
first couple of chapters, everybody kept on saying, Vanessa, you're so much
27:22
like your mom? Yeah, no, why kid it? And she said
27:26
a part that I think she said something along the lines up if they only
27:30
knew something like that, like if they really knew that I am her and
27:34
she is me. That was the fact that And now it's starting to click
27:38
in. Yeah, wow, you did that subtle that was that was sneaky
27:45
in there, and that was all spirit led. That wasn't I'm not that
27:51
smart y'all you are you did that because in this book you have so many
27:57
moments where she you see her at that crossroad. Yeah, and I'm like,
28:03
for like, come on, come on, and you're gonna you're gonna
28:06
get it. You're gonna get You ain't got it yet. But that's because
28:11
that's how life is, right, Like how many times I know, I
28:12
can't speak for anyone else on this planet, but I can speak for she
28:15
now. And as far as you know, there's been plenty of times where
28:19
I thought we would No, it didn't work out like that. Yeah,
28:25
that's a learn talk about lesson learn. So you gotta tell me, and
28:33
you said you told me earlier. Can you tell me, is it gonna
28:37
be a part too? You? Okay? So everyone, You're not the
28:42
first person. I've had several people ask me about it being a part two
28:47
and I love Vanessa. Someone's was like, you should make the dad find
28:51
love and I was like, Oh, that would be so sweet because he
28:55
does deserve love right now that Vanessa. And then they're like, what about
29:00
Vanessa. Haven't finished it yet, so I won't. I won't spoil the
29:04
end. But there's a love interest for Vanessa, and they're like, oh,
29:08
they need a story. But with every story comes conflict, and I
29:14
just love Vanessa is at By the end of the book, She's a whole
29:18
person. She has persevered, her dreams have come true, love has entered
29:22
her life, and if I create another story for her, that means that
29:26
she has to have some problems. And I really don't want to give Vanessa
29:32
no problems. She has to have conflict. Every good story has a conflict.
29:36
Something has to go wrong in her life. There has to be a
29:38
conflict in her life for it to be a story. She finds love like
29:45
she just ends, she ends in such a good place. By the end
29:49
of the book, she has overcome she has stood on top of the enemy
29:56
like Jeans. She ends off so well, and so whereas I love her
30:00
character, I'm like, guys, if I write, if I write her
30:04
another story, that means that this happily ever after that she's experienced there's gotta
30:10
be conflict, because you have to have conflict and resolution. And I don't
30:14
want to put no conflict in Vanessa's life. She's doing good, She's doing
30:19
so well. I do too. Now what she might can do is come
30:25
back as a secondary character. Well, I like, intact, I am
30:30
trying to. I'm trying to figure out, not in the next book,
30:33
but in Reckless Love, if we might bring her in in a secondary character
30:37
way with her life intact, because I don't. I just I really loved
30:45
her as a character. Guys, I really did listen Facebook girl, YouTube
30:51
girl. Hey, y'all, I love Vanessa as a character, and I
30:55
really don't want to mess her life up. She does this happy We just
31:00
she deserves it. She really does. She goes, she has, she
31:03
dealt with the loss of her mother, she deals with an overbearing father and
31:07
having to grow up. You know, a jack in a box for a
31:10
brother, he's a jack of box's Jago. She got a jack in the
31:19
box brother like, she just she just she deserves the ending that she has.
31:26
And if I give her another story, I have to mess that ending
31:30
up, and I do not want to do that. But we may bring
31:32
her in as a secondary character in another book. Okay, okay, because
31:37
I really liked her, and throughout the whole book, like I said,
31:40
I was rooting for her. I was like, okay, we then I'm
31:44
like, oh, she don't do nothing stupid in the next couple of ks
31:45
and then you put it down and you and you slowly like I'm slowly reading,
31:49
like she not do something stupid us, Yes, she really did this,
31:56
So we got a little bit more time. Mark Marcus Marcus Marcus is
32:06
everything that every woman wants. He is powerful, He is gorgeous, He
32:14
is supportive. He is not the one everything you want, but everything you
32:22
don't need. Yes, ma'am, the wrap round, great package, but
32:30
you know, good and well, once you open up that package, it's
32:34
like the honey. But guess what, there is a bee and that you
32:38
understand you right there? Mm hmm. You know. I'm gonna ask,
32:45
so who would play Marcus? Who would be Marcus? Who was Marcus.
32:54
I see Marcus as being the what's his name, the cute guy with the
33:00
brown eyes from think like a man, oh, the light skinned one.
33:08
Yes, yes, I see him as Marcus because he's beautiful. But you
33:14
know, you can play the characters of a dark person. Yes, yes,
33:19
definitely. I cannot remember his name, but that's who I see.
33:22
But who would be your Marcus? I could see him as being Marcus.
33:27
I could also see I have a theme for I'm gonna mess his name up
33:35
because I can never say it right A daughters Hargess Hodges A Daughters A d
33:43
A d. I s he's a dark skin brother. He played in Leverage.
33:47
He also played in what else does he be? In a couple of
33:57
other things. Oh you know, I had google who he was? Oh
34:02
my god. But he has had some roles where he has played some dark
34:13
characters, Like he can be charming and he can be cavalier and you know,
34:20
tell you everything you need. But then he can flip it and be
34:24
a darker, more serious character. And I think I get that because I
34:28
was such a fan of Leverage, and so in Leverage he played a carn
34:31
artist. So sometimes he would play like a good guy and sometimes he would
34:35
play like a mean guy, or one time he was playing like a rapper.
34:39
It was just weird. So he he would mean my he would be
34:45
my Marcus. Okay, okay, it would be market right. So you
34:50
know you got to tell them how they can grab your book, how they
34:52
can follow you. You are saying you love that interaction, so let's go
34:57

thing I'm starting doing. Please make sure I will. This is another co
37:30
host on the crew with the details of the airway. That is this black
37:35
diamond. Hello, Simon, Sure she is beautiful. Anytime my hair turn
37:45
off, that's her. Yes, we got I have some uh. I
37:52
mean it's Christian fiction, so it ain't steamy steamy, but it is steamy
37:55
for Christian fiction, some after dark content, you know. Ran Yeah,
38:05
but you know what that is starting to become. One thing I'm starting to
38:07
see in the library that I have this generation of middle age and I call
38:15
them middle age because now I'm forty for you guys, but we have this
38:21
fifty sixties older ladies that are getting informing book clubs. They don't want the
38:29
i'm gonna say the launchiness of the fiction, but they want Christian fiction with
38:35
a little bit of on the side of it, you know, just to
38:38
say okay, yes we're still human. Yeah, definitely like that. And
38:45
it's coming off the choir director in the Blackhampton series, whereas their characters are
38:52
strong characters and they do have sexual lives. Yeah, they's just showcase of
38:55
the way. So yeah, that is becoming. It's called they have a
39:05
name for it. It's Christian. I cannot remember, but it's another word
39:12
right after Christian. That's like, oh, okay, now I understand it
39:15
makes sense and it's very very I cannot remember what it is, but yes,
39:22
that is now becoming a new thing a lot of the child. Yeah,
39:27
because I have to be do You have to be authentic to what's going
39:30
on, and like for me, I can't speak for everybody, but for
39:32
me, I have to be authentic of what's going on in the story.
39:36
Like I cannot write a story about someone who is For an example, in
39:42
resting on the word, Jade and her husband Devin, they're trying to have
39:45
a child. When you try to have a child, you tell it one
39:52
way to make a baby. So there's gonna be something, you know what
39:58
I'm saying, Like, and they're married, there is this a Christian marriage.
40:04
They're married, but so there there is no where, there is no
40:07
avert sexually explicit content in there. You are well aware that he enjoys his
40:15
wife because that's his wife. And that's how life in love is you.
40:23
I mean, how we gonna make a baby? Are you making a baby?
40:25
You know what I'm saying? So respectful. Yes, it's very respectful.
