• 5:06
  Speaker 9: basically without telling the movie, y'all are like exposed in
• 5:08
  Speaker 9: the black market of like sex trafficking and everything. It's
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: really heavy, heavy in this climate right now.
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: It's interesting to see black women in their greatness as well,
• 5:20
  Speaker 10: like we are intelligent. Yeah, she plays a professor and
• 5:24
  Speaker 10: a genius and a textus which is nice, so far
• 5:27
  Speaker 10: from that in that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 11: Realm too, And y'all don't run away from those that
• 5:31
  Speaker 11: that those traits in the movies, like y'all are really strong,
• 5:34
  Speaker 11: y'all are like how important was that to display on
• 5:37
  Speaker 11: camera for y'all in this movie?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: Really important because the whole thing is, oh, I'm not
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: going away storyline.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, you know.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: We're taking them down, you know what I'm saying.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: So. And not only that, but it was someone I.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: Loved almost got assaulted, so it was like, look we police,
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: we can't wait, you know what I'm saying.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: So.
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: And I had the technology, which I like that part,
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: like look, I'm still trying to learn how to work
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: my iPhone. But this character, you know, she was a
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: tech genius and really smart.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: I love that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: And then Tasha's a retired detective who comes back. I
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: just liked that we came together to bring this, bring
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: these people down.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: So yeah, we had to be strong.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, Amaya Scott plays her niece.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: So it's really nice, amazing.
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: Okay, did you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Have to develop like any special special rituals or inside
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: jokes to like build the build the chemistry.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: No, it kind of came.
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: She's just clicked funny, and we clicked immediately. We had
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: one meeting right before we started working.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: And that was it. We knew we were going to.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Have a good time.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, was it ever any part?
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: I mean, because it was it was still like humorous
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: as well to me, But was it ever challenging because
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: this is like a real life thing women go through
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: every day, young women, children, you know.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: Well, Tisha really went there on in one of the
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: scenes where something happens and then something happens, I can't
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: get away.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: But that was not a lot of times.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: I was like okay, no, no, no, no, you know what.
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: A lot of so I was like, okay, let me
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: do comedy, and they forget that. I come from a
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: dramatic place, so I'm able to do a lot of
• 7:15
  Speaker 10: things in this able to you know, bring the drama
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: and bring the comedy.
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: And and then I and just from my background just
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: as well as yours, you know, I was like, let's
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: improv a little bit before we do this scene because
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: the scene comes in hot. So I was like, let's
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: improv outside before we go inside and bring it inside,
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: which really helped drive the scene because we were already
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: in the middle of something coming in.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: So we just played, you know what I mean, And
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: it was just easy. Yeah, it was real easy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Y'all get stuck on the way movies are released now,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: or do y'all not mind? Like as far as streamings released,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: there's Netflix boxes, the y'all get stuck on that or
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: not too much.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I don't you know, the work is the work.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's something you work out your contract.
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: It's like if it's not going to be released and
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: you know in a theater, you know whatever. I mean,
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: it's not we're not doing Mission impossible right now. But
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean, it makes a difference when
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: it's those kind of films. I'm sure that's why they
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: beef about that. But you know, we got to go
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: with the time. I mean, that's just what happens.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you got it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: You just have to evolve, even you know, incorporating social media.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: It's your own publishist, You're your own publish It's very true.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: You have to do it. You have to evolve. And
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: that's the one thing that I know, you know, getting
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: being in this business for four years now, you have
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: to continue.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Four years.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I've been doing this for playing thinkings.
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: No, but doing it for as long as I have.
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: You have to reinvent yourself and reinvent yourself and you have.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: To go with the times. So you can't if you
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: fight it, that's your ass.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: But you're also timeless though, Like when you see people
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: like Costan and Drewski at the BT flipping out because
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: they saw you. That lets you know how timeless you are.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you for that, Thank you for that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Grab it with you. Since before Little Shop of Horror.
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: No, I used to watch your poets, Gina did it
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: first yet period, always been afan, So I love, I
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: love even seeing you on this film as well. Is
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: it was it purpose though, right? Like was it on
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: purpose that y'all really didn't go into Amaya's character?
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: So that was on purpose, on purpose that we didn't
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: call her tran in the movie. Yeah, yes, and she
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: talks about it herself, but and it's better when she
• 9:31
  Speaker 10: does because she loves the fact that she was just
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: a person in the film and not anything else. So yeah,
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: she purposefully did that. Yeah, wrote that, wrote it that way.
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: Tj Alee wrote it that way.
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: And I love that even in the film, like she
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: has said, my my aunt has been with me since
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: the beginning, you know what I mean. So it was
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: good that it was a level of support and love
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: there and just bringing awareness to that, you know what
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: I mean, because that's absolutely relatable.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:56
  Speaker 11: Yeah, there's a lot of sisterhood moments throughout the movie,
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: but in real life, I was watching or reading something
• 10:02
  Speaker 11: about Gabrielle Union at the Black Film Festival in Florida.
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: She talked about how you saved her life because you're
• 10:09
  Speaker 11: just because of your relationship.
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: And you saw her, you really saw her.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: It wasn't even that.
• 10:13
  Speaker 10: It was more that when I first saw her coming
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: into the business, I knew she was going to be great.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: And so in seeing.
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: That, I said, listen, gab this business had got a
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: lot of ups and downs. So let me pay for
• 10:27
  Speaker 10: your first ten therapy sessions.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Wow, so bad.
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: You can get yourself into a good place and be
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: in a safe space because there's it's ugly out there.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: It's uglier than you think.
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: And I just wanted her to be I just wanted
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: to support however I could because I knew she was
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: going to be great. What was this the nineties, early
• 10:50
  Speaker 10: two thousands, Wow, And it was before she was even big.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: She was making a name for herself. She was out there.
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: She was not the Gabrielle Union that we know of today,
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: but she was still doing.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of stuff.
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: And I when I see somebody that is going to
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: be in this business, it's just it's a lot. It
• 11:09
  Speaker 10: can be a lot, and y'all see the ups and downs.
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: Y'all talk about it every single day. I just love
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: to support my sisters in this, you know. And I
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: grew up like that with Tashina and you know, you
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: know that's how we are.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: But who introduce you to therapyeahayah? What got you into
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that headspace? Who told you? You know it?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: You should go to therapy because this business is hard,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Because that's a great.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Nobody told me that. I had to figure that out.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: And that was in the nineties. I started figuring out.
• 11:36
  Speaker 10: Oh you know what, I'm sorry, let me take that back.
• 11:40
  Speaker 10: It was my acting coach. Actually his name is Howard Fine.
• 11:43
  Speaker 10: I started going to him at.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Eighteen years old. We love Howard.
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: So Howard was always like, listen, I'm not your therapist.
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: I think you have to always do two things. You
• 11:53
  Speaker 10: have to seek therapy because what we do is not
• 11:57
  Speaker 10: it's not healthy to a certain extent. Like most people,
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: when you're crying or when you're dealing with certain things,
• 12:03
  Speaker 10: you stay away from it, you but we embrace it
• 12:05
  Speaker 10: and we use it for our job.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: So he said, you have to do therapy and you
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: have to do.
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: Charity work because you have to get outside of yourself
• 12:16
  Speaker 10: and not look at it like you know, yeah, get
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: outside of yourself. Yeah, and you're not the end all
• 12:21
  Speaker 10: be all, and there are things that are bigger than you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 12:24
  Speaker 10: So that's what he always instilled in me. And so
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: since eighteen years old, I started going.
• 12:28
  Speaker 11: To thing that's amazing because she talked about that too,
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: just like from you, learning how to decentralize herself to
• 12:34
  Speaker 11: give to other people.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: People don't just do that for no reason like that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: No.
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: I want people to win. Yeah, yeah, I want people
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: to win. I want us aw to win, you know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: and it may not be on it may be on
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: different levels, but you know, let's do it the most
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: healthy way we possibly can.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Now, oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: No.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, so, how did that help you?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Because you know, you went through a divorce and if
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I right correctly, this says you had seven dollars left
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: your name and that.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: That's that's true.
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: Actually, no, the story was I had twenty one dollars
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: in my pocket and a knife cost seven dollars and
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: I wanted to pay for the knife, but it was
• 13:11
  Speaker 10: Christmas and I had a choice to try to get
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: some extra toys from my kids at the.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Write eight or something.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: So how did that work that you had done early
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: on on yourself? Help you in that moment?
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: Well, I believe that I always had really good relationships,
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: and I forged.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Really good relationships.
• 13:31
  Speaker 10: And the one thing that I held on to right
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: there was what God gave me. And what God gave
• 13:36
  Speaker 10: me was my talent and my ability to reach people
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: and to have good relationships. It was the one thing
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: nobody could take away. And so with therapy, that's how
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: I and really good friends and weeding out all the others.
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: I really I'm here today and I'm really happy.
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: Wow you look happy, and yeah you come and glowing beautiful?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, are you back up?
• 13:59
  Speaker 11: Now?
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: I didn't Melissa have.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I believe it was.
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: But with Flowers, y'all got great publicist.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: Yes you want to pay for my therapy, I'm open
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: to that.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: I have a question for you though, because I know
• 14:26
  Speaker 11: during that time that he was just talking about with
• 14:27
  Speaker 11: the divorce you got, you were going through a lot
• 14:28
  Speaker 11: of financially. You just talk about that. Right there was
• 14:30
  Speaker 11: the bankruptcy that you guys finally closed. I think that
• 14:32
  Speaker 11: was like six months right in your healing journey. Do
• 14:36
  Speaker 11: things like that, like closing the case and being able
• 14:38
  Speaker 11: to move on, actually help you to move on or no,
• 14:40
  Speaker 11: because you still have to.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I think it's a lifetime of stuff.
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: And I don't really understand how we went through the
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: bankruptcy honestly, but that I was kind of separated from it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: So I don't really know how we got through it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: But it really is just taking yourself up out of
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: it and keep it moving forward. I just move forward.
• 15:03
  Speaker 10: I got kids, man, I got two kids with one
• 15:07
  Speaker 10: has ADHD, the other one got autism, two separate issues,
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: and I just keep moving forward.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: You still got a career, you still got Oh yeah,
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: I can't look backwards.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: I can't.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So I just don't.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: It has to be difficult too, because since you're such
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: a celebrity, such a face on television, people don't understand
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: what you go through.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: They be like, nah, she got it. I just see
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: she got it. I just seen another replay, like, yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I know you have to deal with that. That had
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to be difficult.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Not really, I don't really pay attention to the crowd noise.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I can't. I can't afford it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: And the way that I look at life's like a
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: football game, Like whoever's on the field running with me
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: and got that ball with me? Or running the field
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: with me, I'm good. I don't pay attention to the
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: cheerleader's those the fake friends. I don't pay attention to
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: the crowd noise because they're there. That's their job to
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: boom and to cheer. So I can't pay attention to
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: any of it. I have to just block it out
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: and keep moving forward.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: This is my last question about the movie. I know
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: you got to go got press and stuff. Look how
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: did y'all find out or decide what roles y'all were
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: going to take? Like how did you know like the
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: tech roles for you and why you know?
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: Like okay, I mean look that was all that was left. No, no, no,
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: Tita was already signed on, like I feel like, was
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: it like a year and then it went away and.
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: They went away came back then I think Wendy was
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: busy and then she came back because I was doing
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: it because Wendy, And once she came back, I was like, okay,
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: I'll sign on right now.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: So that role was there, so I so I signed
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: on because Wendy. I knew we did like mis congeniality, yeah,
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: in the nineties then Tsha, and I was like, Okay, well,
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: I definitely want to do it because I want to
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: work with both of them. So yeah, I wasn't like, oh,
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: I want to play a tech person that has to
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: say all this stuff that I can't remember.
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: But I thought I was interested in.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: It because of that, because I liked, you know, seeing
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: a woman of color playing this, like, you know.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: She's like brilliant.
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: She's like a Steve Jobs, you know what I'm saying,
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: Like she invented software and you know, and she's like
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: good at them, you know what I mean everything that
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: I'm not.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: So I just I like brilliant.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Executed it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not gonna lie like sometimes that I
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: had them put.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: To whisperful.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: I'm on air, okay, but you know, like sometimes my
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: lines had to be because I could not.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: It just wouldn't stick.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: It was just like cryptocurrency, bitcoin, you know, a lot it.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: Was a lot of words that I just had never
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: used before.
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: I don't know anything about that stuff, so I had
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: to look it up and stuff like that. But you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: it was hard to remember yeah, but.
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: It's still you know, it's still the show is still
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: rooted in the movie. It's still rooted in story and
• 17:43
  Speaker 10: hard and it has hard domedy and everything. So I
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: like that you still get to learn that and see
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: that there are black women that are justice brilliant.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: Is the taken but the female version of taking? Oh yeah, yes.
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: Yes, nue for you because you talk about story, you
• 18:01
  Speaker 11: open book, you talked about your mommy makeover.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: I did be t words. What was your decision to
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: open up about that? Why?
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: It was the deal that I made with Cosmic Care.
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: I sat down with them and I was like, I
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: have to be honest with my stuff and really, let
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: me tell you what it actually came up, because sometimes
• 18:18
  Speaker 10: I just say my kids and I needed a mommy makeover.
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: But I have sarkitosis or was diagnosed with sarkitosis, which
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: is a genetic lung disorder, right, And so they put
• 18:28
  Speaker 10: you on a lot of steroids and after I lost
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: the weight health in a healthy way. It took a
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: long time, but it left me with a lot of
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: extraw meat down there. So I was like, you know what,
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: it's time for mommy makeover. I got me a nice
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: tummy tuck.
• 18:41

• 18:46
  Speaker 10: So that's why I you know, and I'm I'm an
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: open book. So I wanted to talk about it because
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: mommy makeover isn't for everybody, but it was for me
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: at that moment, and I wanted to feel good about
• 18:56

• 22:47
  Speaker 9: be down for Miss Congeniality three, So would I come
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: down to you?
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: That was one of the best experiences of my career,
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: and it was very early on and it just shows
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: like Cassandra Bullock is just the nicest person, and the
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: people I was working with, they were just all kind
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: and you know, you don't really we were down there
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: for like three months, and we were all young, and
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: we and we all got along and it was such
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: a nice experience and we had so much fun. But
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: I would totally want to do that a third one.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, if they come up with a story,
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: I look, I'm ready all righty, Yeah, it was fun.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: I would love to do that.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: We need that teach you just started watching Martin five
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: years ago.
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: Crazy, yes, because a lot of the millennials and the
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: gen zs that are just kind of getting to know it,
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: they quote shit in me. I don't know what the
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: fuck they're talking about, Like what No.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: But that was like in the nineties. I was thirty
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: some years ago. But so that you have some like
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: content that was thirty years ago.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, but like if.
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: So that you have content, Like I said, like me
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: and Tashina, we grew up as Broadway kids, and you're
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: only as good as your last job, so we don't again,
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: we don't look backwards, and we don't we're not in
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: a present. We're always looking at what's the next gig.
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: So it trained us not to watch our own work.
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: So I don't watch my own work. My kids never
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: watched my work unless somebody snuck it to them.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Oh that's why my youngest.
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: Calls me Gina. He don't call me mommy. You know
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: you don't call me mommy. If you call me mommy,
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: it's something wrong. But that's another reason why I never
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: watched the Martin Show. But because people kept quoting shit
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: at me, like my friends. She kept saying, look at
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: the white shoes, look at the white shoes.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: I was like, what you're talking about. She was like,
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: that's from Martin.
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: Look through a Jerome when look at the WS And
• 24:29
  Speaker 10: I was like, that was an inside joke that nobody
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: was supposed to know, because Martin would never let us
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: see his outfits for jeromea Shanine. And so when he
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: came through the door, and uh, he was like, look
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: at the white shoes.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: He was telling me it to Ghena to look at
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: the white shoes, not our characters.
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: But it became like this thing that we didn't know
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: it was so because they kept quoting stuff at me.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: I started watching it, and it's funny.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: How did you perfect your craft when you didn't observe
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: your work?
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: Oh that's like that's more like like for like football players,
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: basketball players.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: They do that.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: She said, No, don't play with me. I know, no.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: You kind of just we're under how we're fine. We
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: have the and Santislavski and all that.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the technical So you never watched my wife and
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: kids either.
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: No, I my kids don't like watching it because they
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: say I yell at those kids like I yell at them. Okay,
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: so they're like, I don't know, that's too much. They
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: look at it like this.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: And I love what you and Melissa had with Operational,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: but I really want to see you into sheen to
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: do some type of of buddy comic. You know what
