Speaker 1: some parts like even when I say so my kids,
5:17
Speaker 1: he was like, no, we're not doing I was like,
5:19
Speaker 1: but we're doing it. Because like when I go see
5:21
Speaker 1: my mother in law, she had some issues. I have
5:24
Speaker 1: a sister that has some issues. You know, it's just
5:27
Speaker 1: people that's around me that have issues, and I'm not
5:29
Speaker 1: just looking at for me. I'm looking at for them
5:32
Speaker 1: as well, and even as you know, for the family.
5:34
Speaker 1: So we're just not even, like you said, encouraging people
5:38
Speaker 1: to just you know, do do what's right for you,
5:40
Speaker 1: do what's right for you. But we we felt like
5:42
Speaker 1: it was right, and like you said, you know, it
5:44
Speaker 1: just made us less paranoria. We're around a lot of people,
5:48
Speaker 1: we traveled, and so I wanted to get back to
5:50
Speaker 1: that and and not just be like, oh my god,
5:53
Speaker 1: you know, you know who I want to do. They
5:55
Speaker 1: have it right. It gave us a you know, just
6:00
Speaker 1: just feel a little safer. And I'm the worst because
6:05
Speaker 1: I'm such a hugger. I was. He was like, if
6:10
Speaker 1: you somebody didn't have a phone blown COVID and she
6:13
Speaker 1: wanted you didn't know. It was just I was just
6:18
Speaker 1: so used to it. So I'm just we were at
6:21
Speaker 1: a funeral, supposed to be social distancing. She doesn't grab
6:25
Speaker 1: the mic and hit the mic with her list know
6:29
Speaker 1: what are you doing? But what I ain't like people
6:34
Speaker 1: coming up to her the hug. I said, no, no,
6:37
Speaker 1: we're not even supposed to be absolutely, you know. And
6:40
Speaker 1: then I'm talking to David Chaplin Man and uh, you know,
6:43
Speaker 1: dyed any story that they tell us as an honest story,
6:45
Speaker 1: and it's a story about life. And the thing about
6:47
Speaker 1: it is before we were talking last time, I've seen it,
6:50
Speaker 1: and David, you started talking about how music and I'm
6:52
Speaker 1: just telling you, Tamla Man said, a historic and personal
6:55
Speaker 1: industry record, the first gospel lead artists and bill Board
6:58
Speaker 1: Gospel history, three consecutive number ones from an aburm. This
7:02
Speaker 1: is what we're talking about. And so I always want
7:04
Speaker 1: to bring act that version because I'm also gonna talk
7:06
Speaker 1: about your business, your entrepreneurship, your leisure line and all
7:09
Speaker 1: that stuff and your various campaigns. And then I also
7:12
Speaker 1: want to talk about the producer side that you do, David,
7:15
Speaker 1: what I like to always bring up when I bring
7:17
Speaker 1: talent like you on money making conversation. People see only
7:19
Speaker 1: one side of you. They see the entertainment side, they
7:23
Speaker 1: see the comedic side. But you're there are lawyers to
7:25
Speaker 1: the man's family. Tamela tell us about that. Well, like
7:30
Speaker 1: like you said, we're started with with me for me,
7:32
Speaker 1: started with music, then we started into the acting thing.
7:36
Speaker 1: And now you know, David, he pushed me. He pushed
7:40
Speaker 1: me into really big standing out being an artist, which
7:42
Speaker 1: I'm really grateful for because he's helped me, with God's help,
7:45
Speaker 1: he's helped me become the actress and the artists that
7:49
Speaker 1: I am today. And then even to go into the
7:52
Speaker 1: clothing line Tamila Man Collection, which is at at Leisure Whares.
7:57
Speaker 1: You know, so force like like I have something on today,
8:01
Speaker 1: but I'm just really excited about all the different things
8:05
Speaker 1: that we that we do have our hands in because
8:08
Speaker 1: we've learned that you can't put all your eggs in
8:10
Speaker 1: one basket. That means just like you're concentrating just on
8:14
Speaker 1: one thing, but sometimes you have more than just one gift.
8:18
Speaker 1: And it's just like him with he is the mastermind
8:21
Speaker 1: of all of our little things that we have going on,
8:25
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate him pushing us even as a family.
8:28
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in ownership. I like ownership. I
8:32
Speaker 1: like to own my masters. I like the O. You
8:35
Speaker 1: know that. I just I'm a big believer in on
8:37
Speaker 1: it and you know that way you can create the
8:40
Speaker 1: narrative for yourself and you don't have to have somebody
8:43
Speaker 1: else to kind of, you know, navigate how you want
8:47
Speaker 1: to do it. So that that's just how I operate
8:50
Speaker 1: the business is just like, let's just get in there.
8:52
Speaker 1: Because with her, I told him, you have a following.
8:54
Speaker 1: People see you snatched. They want to know how you're snatched.
8:58
Speaker 1: They want to know how you look, where you get
9:00
Speaker 1: that stuff from. So she just started creating and designing
9:03
Speaker 1: her own stuff, and I was like, don't worry, I'll
9:05
Speaker 1: get somebody we can start distributing it. That's the way
9:09
Speaker 1: it was with the music. I'll find this distribution, will
9:12
Speaker 1: you know, will produce it ourselves and make it do So,
9:16
Speaker 1: I have new music coming June for a new single
9:18
Speaker 1: help Me. The new album is don't drop in all
9:21
Speaker 1: this look I'll be back you know, we'll be back
9:27
Speaker 1: dropping in all this. So I'm in it. But I'm
9:29
Speaker 1: really excited about it because I have, you know, just
9:33
Speaker 1: looking at you know, yourself, and and David and and
9:36
Speaker 1: really putting my hands to work this album. I put
9:40
Speaker 1: my hands to work more than I ever have with
9:42
Speaker 1: any of the other ones. Maybe because we did have
9:45
Speaker 1: the pandemic we had more time I was writing more
9:48
Speaker 1: just eaven putting the help and putting the artwork together,
9:52
Speaker 1: just creating the ideas for videos. But we just want

Speaker 1: to become more of a friend or wife, whatever areas
13:36
Speaker 1: that he needs. I just want to be there. I
13:39
Speaker 1: just don't want it to be one sided that you're
13:41
Speaker 1: helping me accomplish everything that I want to accomplish. I
13:43
Speaker 1: want to help you accomplish some of those things too.
13:46
Speaker 1: So it's like we try to put each other before
13:49
Speaker 1: each other. You know. It's not not looking at it
13:51
Speaker 1: through just a one vision. Uh one. I just focused
13:56
Speaker 1: on myself that I but it's on both of us
13:59
Speaker 1: that we were making things happen for each other. We're
14:01
Speaker 1: know an interesting thing. That's why I'm so happy to
14:04
Speaker 1: see you guys again. Because you know, David, he called
14:07
Speaker 1: me all the time or I called him. I got
14:09
Speaker 1: this new record, look at this video? Can you help
14:11
Speaker 1: me drop it? You know, because he's a natural business person.
14:14
Speaker 1: Pandemic shut down a lot of that because we all
14:17
Speaker 1: were confused. The world stopped. We didn't know when it
14:20
Speaker 1: was gonna start back up. And now that it's starting
14:22
Speaker 1: back up, and I see the success and the opportunity.
14:26
Speaker 1: Now you lead your where you know you you are
14:29
Speaker 1: a RP representative. All those things were coming your way.
14:33
Speaker 1: You're looking on the other's hand. David, you're like a manager,
14:36
Speaker 1: proud husband, proud papa. I told you so, I told
14:40
Speaker 1: you can do a guy. When you look at that,
14:43
Speaker 1: you can. That's why that's why I read those credits
14:45
Speaker 1: like I read them. I read David and joke Y,
14:48
Speaker 1: I just read all of hers, because he's responsible for
14:51
Speaker 1: that isn't here he really is, because people PO would
14:54
Speaker 1: ask him a che I's like like, because well I
14:57
Speaker 1: know that you. I mean, people asking me the crazy
14:59
Speaker 1: questions like well you're making all the money. No, I'm
15:02
Speaker 1: really not making all the money, y'all really just don't know.
15:04
Speaker 1: Like you said, he is the mastermind behind it all.
15:08
Speaker 1: So it's like we're doing this together, and you know,
15:11
Speaker 1: it's like we're both in the fourth and even in that,
15:14
Speaker 1: I'm so secure and who I am. None of that
15:17
Speaker 1: even bothers me when I tell you at all, because
15:19
Speaker 1: I'm so at fifty five, I'm so cool and who
15:23
Speaker 1: I am. They come up and say all of that,
15:26
Speaker 1: and I'm like, good, that's great. Yeah, because we both
15:30
Speaker 1: share the same last name and the bank account, all
15:33
Speaker 1: the numbers on the bank accounts, it has both about
15:36
Speaker 1: the name zone, so it doesn't matter to me. Well
15:39
Speaker 1: that then and that and I know it doesn't. But
15:41
Speaker 1: what I wanted to say in that and just emphasize
15:44
Speaker 1: it's the roles that we play in the marriage, well,
15:47
Speaker 1: the roles that were playing a relationship. And what happens
15:50
Speaker 1: is that's what destroyers are married and get confused. You know,
15:53
Speaker 1: you know what success? What role did you play? And
15:56
Speaker 1: I'm saying is that he plays a very subtle role
15:59
Speaker 1: pup look, and that's the beauty of who he is.
16:02
Speaker 1: That's why I love David Man. You know, he is
16:04
Speaker 1: so brilliant as a comedian, as an actor. And then
16:08
Speaker 1: you were sitting in the room when and you go,
16:11
Speaker 1: do you know who you are? What you're talking about? Rashwan?
16:13
Speaker 1: You you're one of the funniest guys. I know what
16:16
Speaker 1: you're talking about. A quiet off and when I was
16:18
Speaker 1: talking to you, guys, we shout we regular, We just
16:21
Speaker 1: regular people. And y'all know, y'all not look because you
16:29
Speaker 1: know what, I just I don't look at that celebrity thing,

16:56
Speaker 1: it's for the full figure women of Sometimes in so
16:59

20:43
Speaker 1: twenty thousand people were following him. If he had a pipe,
20:46
Speaker 1: he could have laid them right down the street because

Speaker 1: Harvey showtime at the Apollo Deaf comedy JWN, Me and
20:56

Speaker 1: could have imagined that playing this character could could make
21:17
Speaker 1: my dreams, her dreams of our kids, grandkids could make
21:22
Speaker 1: I mean some of our dreams come true. Never could
21:24
Speaker 1: have imagined we were just doing it. We had to
21:26
Speaker 1: be on the road to earn an honest living. It
21:29
Speaker 1: kept us from doing it legal stuff, but it was it.
21:34
Speaker 1: Never could have imagined that it would grow to to this,
21:37
Speaker 1: to where doing another television show assist a living and
21:41
Speaker 1: still be relevant after twenty years. That's in this industry.
21:44
Speaker 1: You know that that just doesn't happen. And I don't
21:47
Speaker 1: take it for granted. I just know that it's really
21:50
Speaker 1: a blessing. It really is. Now. The characters that you
21:53
Speaker 1: guys play really were born out of a play for
21:58
Speaker 1: Tyler's Perry's play correct. You know Coore you played his

Speaker 1: was the first black comedian I met on the role
22:22
Speaker 1: he was headlining and it was in mobile Alabama, where
22:26
Speaker 1: we met, and back then they wouldn't put in two
22:28
Speaker 1: black comedians on the show at the same time. It's
22:31
Speaker 1: just the white headline of counseled at the last minute,
22:34
Speaker 1: and they brought Jenis Brown in as an emergency. That's
22:37
Speaker 1: how I met him, and he's and he's been in
22:39
Speaker 1: my life every since. So I know you gotta get
22:41
Speaker 1: special talent. J Cole about two days ago, Man, this song.

24:01
Speaker 1: Living series as air on BT every Tuesday and nine
24:04

24:16
Speaker 1: moon pretty soon. You want to just look up there
24:18
Speaker 1: and just see t p TV probably right there. But
24:24
Speaker 1: you know when I when I look at the success
24:26
Speaker 1: of themand's because you're a brand. Now, Now, what is
24:30
Speaker 1: the responsibility of being a brand? Because both of you
24:33
Speaker 1: guys are out there and then you take a management
24:36
Speaker 1: producer role oftentimes, David and you take a talent, but
24:40
Speaker 1: you're still an entrepreneur, businesswoman. There's a lot of things
24:44
Speaker 1: going in there. Thirty three years of marriage and I'll
24:47
Speaker 1: celebrate my thirty three year of marriage and December, So
24:50
Speaker 1: thank you very much, thank you very much. So that's
24:53
Speaker 1: what we're always gonna have that little link together because
24:55
Speaker 1: I know there was a moment in my life, especially
24:58
Speaker 1: entertainment when you just traveling. You're traveling, and entertainment is
25:02
Speaker 1: a fickle business because there's no consistency. You can't sometimes
25:06
Speaker 1: buy a house, you can't buy clothes, you can't die
25:09
Speaker 1: anything because you know what, that check you got is
25:11
Speaker 1: gonna be there next week. So I talk about overcoming
25:15
Speaker 1: that uncertainty to maintain this longevity, and then we're gonna
25:19
Speaker 1: talk more about the series in detail. Assisted living. You know,
25:23
Speaker 1: been in this industry, We've been in this industry for
25:26
Speaker 1: twenty five years, and like you said, we had a
25:28
Speaker 1: lot of friends that said, you know what, and a
25:30
Speaker 1: lot of talented brothers that have said, you know what,
25:32
Speaker 1: y'all going to do that the uncertainty is too much
25:35
Speaker 1: for me. So what we decided to do is just
25:38
Speaker 1: jump out there full just in faith. I mean we
25:42
Speaker 1: it's and I think we start ninety ninety three or
25:47
Speaker 1: something like that, I don't know, somewhere back and then
25:49
Speaker 1: we would decide just getting into the game. And it
25:51
Speaker 1: was like scary because sometime it's up and sometimes it's day.
25:55
Speaker 1: And we just decided, Lord, we're going full time in it.
25:59
Speaker 1: And we haven't back. You know, as we were talking about,
26:02
Speaker 1: with the characters and the music and all of that,
26:05
Speaker 1: we've just made sure as entrepreneurs that it hadn't been
26:08
Speaker 1: we haven't been one trick ponies. And that's what I
26:11
Speaker 1: think helped us to survive in this pandemic is because yeah,
26:16
Speaker 1: we're not only just depended on the road and you
26:18
Speaker 1: were doing you know, like I said, we have a
26:20
Speaker 1: clothing line, We have you know, music and television and
26:23
Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that to kind of help sustain
26:26
Speaker 1: through all of this. You know, it's really interesting because
26:29
Speaker 1: that's that multiple levels of income that we talked about.
26:32
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't do that. They can see
26:34
Speaker 1: that lane of success. And guess what pandemic talks us
26:37
Speaker 1: a lot about pivoty, about looking at the mailbox money,
26:40
Speaker 1: What are you doing besides your primary income or the
26:43
Speaker 1: other income. And that's the platform that you guys are
26:46
Speaker 1: both of you guys have created and it has sustained
26:48
Speaker 1: itself through these these dark times. And and but but
26:55
Speaker 1: but but I have to be I have to say
26:56
Speaker 1: that before we go, is that we're just about Tyler area.
27:00
Speaker 1: And it's a good thing is that you guys have
27:03
Speaker 1: had a lot of success with him. Can you can
27:05
Speaker 1: you put in maybe a minute or less than a minute,
27:08
Speaker 1: or talk as long as you want about the greatness
27:11
Speaker 1: of Tyler Perry, his influence in this industry when a
27:14
Speaker 1: lot of people questioned it, and his impact on your
27:17
Speaker 1: lives and the people he entertains today. Well, a lot
27:22
Speaker 1: of stuff that people that people don't see is the
27:24
Speaker 1: giving that he does outside of you know, you hear
27:27
Speaker 1: about some of the stuff that he can do in
27:29
Speaker 1: the public guy, but there's a lot more going on
27:33
Speaker 1: behind the scenes that he's doing and helping other people. Uh,
27:37
Speaker 1: he just choose not to let it be known. Uh.
27:40
Speaker 1: He asked me a question. We were on the road
27:42
Speaker 1: and he asked me the question, so what would it
27:44
Speaker 1: take for you to retire? And Uh, I gave him
27:46
Speaker 1: a number and was like okay. He said, no, you
27:49
Speaker 1: gotta dream higher. You gotta dream much higher. And I
27:52
Speaker 1: thought about it. I was like, you're right, Okay, you're right.
27:57
Speaker 1: And it just made even see in the studio and
27:59
Speaker 1: send the other the stuff that he's done and that
28:01
Speaker 1: he's doing. It just made you dare to dream bigger,
28:05
Speaker 1: dare to go, you know, like put in the work.
28:08
Speaker 1: You see him, because when I tell you do work,
28:10
Speaker 1: people don't believe how much this he worked. By the
28:13
Speaker 1: time he finishes a series, he's exhausted. And I've seen
28:16
Speaker 1: it because he puts his mind, body, everything into doing this.
28:21
Speaker 1: And that's that's stuff that I've seen through the years.
28:24
Speaker 1: And it's just like, Okay, if that's how he's doing it,
28:27
Speaker 1: if that's how he's become a Mogo building, I said, Okay,
28:34
Speaker 1: I see it. So it just made me start, Okay,
28:36
Speaker 1: I'm gonna build mine. And I called him the other
28:38
Speaker 1: day and I say, man, I'm a little afraid on something.
28:41
Speaker 1: I got an opportunity, but I'm afraid what you waiting Now,
28:46
Speaker 1: just go do it, man, And I was like, okay,
28:49
Speaker 1: So I pulled the trigger on it. Just I called

28:54
Speaker 1: I can't tell you all the choice worth he tell me, like, man,
