Speaker 1: But next year I saw our power couple. Haven't had
0:02
Speaker 1: them on a short a long time, but they are fantastic.
0:04
Speaker 1: Last time in season three of Black Love, and when
0:09
Speaker 1: I had them own season one at Premier and it
0:11
Speaker 1: was two great numbers. They're the creators of the popular
0:14
Speaker 1: series Black Love that airs on the own network. UM
0:18
Speaker 1: two great numbers uh in season three. Like I stated earlier,
0:21
Speaker 1: the goal is to become the hub for black couples
0:24
Speaker 1: and singles looking to build community and conversation around healthy
0:28
Speaker 1: relationships at every stage of life. Please welcome back to
0:33
Speaker 1: money making conversation. My favorite couple, Cody and Tommy Oliver,
0:39
Speaker 1: your favorite couples. You got to, you know, because y'all
0:43
Speaker 1: y'all doing what so many people have said. It is
0:46
Speaker 1: a problem in the in the black community, not understanding
0:49
Speaker 1: relationships amongst each other, not communicating with each other. And
0:53
Speaker 1: it also you know, I don't know, are you helping
0:56
Speaker 1: to find what black relationships can be? And they and
1:01
Speaker 1: when I say that, I mean they could be so
1:02
Speaker 1: many different levels and so sometimes you know, I come
1:06
Speaker 1: from a traditional black family, you know, more from the South.
1:09
Speaker 1: My mom didn't work, she stayed at home and and
1:12
Speaker 1: a lot of African American's my age have that experience
1:16
Speaker 1: like that. But technology has changed so many things, so
1:20
Speaker 1: the experience of what black love is is being communicated
1:23
Speaker 1: differently to so many people. And that's why you are
1:26
Speaker 1: my favorite. Tell me favor that is incredibly kind and
1:31
Speaker 1: we appreciate that a lot. Absolutely tell me what's going on?
1:34
Speaker 1: Season three? Brother, Come on now, the season three? Yeah,
1:41
Speaker 1: you seem to have the I I'm gonna have to
1:45
Speaker 1: scoop that I'm gonna have some information. But to be
1:49
Speaker 1: about it that you guys created this project, which which
1:52
Speaker 1: I think is really let's go let's go back to
1:54
Speaker 1: getting started. The first started because it was just an idea.
1:58
Speaker 1: It was a concept where you called would I say,
2:00
Speaker 1: called on favors to get people to reveal themselves in
2:04
Speaker 1: an emotional manner as a couple. And then it and
2:07
Speaker 1: then it aired and wail right, So we um you
2:12
Speaker 1: are quite that simple. But it felt like Wall happened
2:20
Speaker 1: for several years before it aired. But yeah, we we
2:24
Speaker 1: certainly called on favors in terms of relationships with with
2:27
Speaker 1: some friends and friends of friends and parents and friends
2:31
Speaker 1: to sit down and have honest conversations. And Tommy and
2:34
Speaker 1: I have kept it just the four of us in
2:35
Speaker 1: a room met him and the couple. So there's no gaffer,
2:39
Speaker 1: there's no p a, there's no you know, there's yeah,
2:44
Speaker 1: the four of us. Tommy does all the production and
2:46
Speaker 1: I just asked the question, and and so we keep
2:50
Speaker 1: it really intimate. And then and we've and we've tried
2:52
Speaker 1: to maintain that um through season one, season two and
2:58
Speaker 1: what's to come. You know what, I think you may
3:03
Speaker 1: have inspired us. I think we should probably make an announcement.
3:05
Speaker 1: Sometimes here's the deal. Here's the deal, Tommy, you inspire me. Okay,
3:12
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about a little bit about the things
3:13
Speaker 1: that you guys do outside of UH, outside of UH,
3:18
Speaker 1: you know, black love because of the fact that this
3:21
Speaker 1: is so important, because the fact that black people were
3:25
Speaker 1: interesting group of people were interesting people. You know, we
3:27
Speaker 1: don't talk about situations where it comes to health issues.
3:31
Speaker 1: We don't even lads to talk about mental issues. You know,
3:35
Speaker 1: we don't want to talk about I definitely want to
3:37
Speaker 1: talk about these sexual issues. Okay, and so so we
3:40
Speaker 1: we we were live in this little boxed world of
3:42
Speaker 1: bad information, you know, and so and that bad information
3:47
Speaker 1: really doesn't help because guess what, if you passing along
3:51
Speaker 1: bad information leads to more ignorance, and so socially and
3:55
Speaker 1: emotionally within our community we live, we live in a
3:59
Speaker 1: box of lies. I believe in your show, I feel
4:05
Speaker 1: starts to peel back the truth and allow people to
4:09
Speaker 1: be honest. That's why, that's why I'm I'm fans because
4:12
Speaker 1: of the fact that you know, it's an idea that
4:16
Speaker 1: that that only YouTube could have thought of, because of
4:19
Speaker 1: the fact that it was derived through through a trail
4:22
Speaker 1: of emotions, through an idea of that this is the
4:26
Speaker 1: truth and this is what's really happening and we want
4:28
Speaker 1: to reveal it. That's why when I watched an episode,
4:31
Speaker 1: you know, it's really intimate to me, and you know,
4:33
Speaker 1: I see him sitting here close to each other on
4:35
Speaker 1: the sofa. You know, nobody's you know, nobody's worried about
4:38
Speaker 1: the shirt being buttoned up right of the pants. Talk
4:40
Speaker 1: to they just you know, I'm be going, Okay, they
4:43
Speaker 1: could have fixed their shirt right there, but this is
4:45
Speaker 1: but this is this is the moment. You know, I'm
4:47
Speaker 1: being a producer, you know what I'm saying. Trust me,
4:51
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm thinking it too. But I'm also like, you
4:53
Speaker 1: know what I don't want to stop what's what's happening
4:57
Speaker 1: right now. I don't want to stop someone from sharing
5:00
Speaker 1: what I'm saying by making themselves conscious. And so much
5:04
Speaker 1: of it is, you know, like Cody said, it's the
5:06
Speaker 1: four of his rown. And so when you're sitting down
5:09
Speaker 1: with your friends or with your marriage mentors, if you
5:12
Speaker 1: are fortunate enough to have them, and somebody's shirt has
5:16
Speaker 1: had toning, you're not gonna be like, yo, bro, what's
5:17
Speaker 1: up with your shirt? Right right, right, right right right,
5:20
Speaker 1: because it will it will break the moment because it's like,
5:23
Speaker 1: it's about our story about how we should look. You
5:27
Speaker 1: feel me, yeah, and then that's what that's what you know.
5:30
Speaker 1: I feel that that stops communication within the within the
5:34
Speaker 1: our black families. And that's why when I look at
5:37
Speaker 1: the show, when you first came on the show and
5:39
Speaker 1: they sent me some take to review the show and
5:43
Speaker 1: really get a clue understanding the show, my big takeaway
5:46
Speaker 1: was thank you, thank you for allowing us to talk.
5:50
Speaker 1: And what what hearing me speak like this? What has
5:54
Speaker 1: been the most satisfied take away from you guys with
5:57
Speaker 1: your show? I think it's been twofold one. There is
6:02
Speaker 1: a sense of selfishness. And so we started the show
6:08
Speaker 1: because there are a couple of reasons. The one was
6:10
Speaker 1: because we didn't have the examples that we felt we
6:14
Speaker 1: needed in order to be properly equipped and to be
6:17
Speaker 1: able to have a marriage back into this name until
6:21
Speaker 1: we wanted to talk to people who had done it.
6:23
Speaker 1: And so I think we've learned a lot and we're
6:25
Speaker 1: still struggling and working through things, but having gone through
6:29
Speaker 1: these couples, in these interviews, in this experience, is certainly
6:33
Speaker 1: given us tools that helps to this day of day.
6:37
Speaker 1: But beyond that, like you said, the idea of there're
6:41
Speaker 1: two things we don't see ourselves. So before this we
6:44
Speaker 1: hadn't seen ourselves much in the right way. We were
6:47
Speaker 1: always categorized or misrepresented on TV or on social media.
6:52
Speaker 1: And but we knew sort of like privately, we knew
6:55
Speaker 1: that there were couples that made our work. We knew
6:57
Speaker 1: that you know, there was a nighbor, the neighbor across
7:00
Speaker 1: us the street, or that you know, couple from the
7:01
Speaker 1: church or whatever means been, but they just never got
7:04
Speaker 1: any shutting. And so we wanted to be able to
7:07
Speaker 1: show people, no, no, we are out there is happy
7:09
Speaker 1: love and couples, and then we wanted to be able
7:11
Speaker 1: to normalize the this understanding of marriage and how things
7:17
Speaker 1: actually work, which is very different than if you take
7:20
Speaker 1: your cues from TV or Phil Now when you stay.
7:25
Speaker 1: When I was when I was reading some of your credits,
7:26
Speaker 1: it was saying, Uh, the goal is to become the hub,
7:29
Speaker 1: which means that you want to be a creative content.
7:33
Speaker 1: Black couples and singles looking to build community and conversations
7:37
Speaker 1: around healthy relationships at every stage were like, explain that
7:40
Speaker 1: man explaining that format. So with with Some Black Love,
7:44
Speaker 1: the series that is on own UM, we were able
7:48
Speaker 1: to show couples, married couples making it work and what
7:52
Speaker 1: that requires. Right UM. But one of the things that
7:55
Speaker 1: we noticed is that in order to have a healthy,
7:59
Speaker 1: happy relationship, a lot of the times the relationships of
8:03
Speaker 1: your past and not you know, boyfriend's girlfriends exclusively, but
8:06
Speaker 1: your parents, your siblings, your best friends, those relationships being fractured,
8:12
Speaker 1: those relationships having trauma, those relationships being uncomfortable or as
8:16
Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know, not talking about what's real. UM
8:20
Speaker 1: play a role in your marriage because they play a
8:23
Speaker 1: role in your expectations and UM and how you operate
8:26
Speaker 1: in your patterns, and so we actually launch black love
8:30
Speaker 1: dot Com to expand the conversation past marriage. You know,
8:34
Speaker 1: we felt like it was important to keep talking about
8:36
Speaker 1: marriage and partnership, but also to talk about those other
8:39
Speaker 1: I guess tenants of one's life and how important it
8:43
Speaker 1: is when we're trying to like build a relationship for decades, um,
8:48
Speaker 1: to make sure that those other areas are healthy as well.
8:51
Speaker 1: Because one of the absolute best things you can do
8:53
Speaker 1: to give your relationships making it is being the best
8:57
Speaker 1: you you can be yep. And so another extension of
9:01
Speaker 1: that is actually coming up really soon. Um. So we
9:05
Speaker 1: have done several live events, right Like, we'll take one
9:08
Speaker 1: of our couples or two of our couples and we'll
9:10
Speaker 1: go to different cities and we do two hours, We
9:13
Speaker 1: have a conversation, we show clips from the show we've done.
9:16
Speaker 1: We've done it with Kirk Franklin and Tammy and Dallas.
9:18
Speaker 1: We've done it with Taj and Eddie George in Chicago.
9:21
Speaker 1: We went to Atlanta with Tamia and Grant hill Um,
9:25
Speaker 1: and then I think it was Tommy that had the
9:28
Speaker 1: idea that we do a full day, and so we
9:30
Speaker 1: did a full day in l a last year in
9:33
Speaker 1: October of conversations around relationships, and we were able to
9:37
Speaker 1: get even more specific than the show. And because there
9:41
Speaker 1: were I don't know how many conversations that day, let's
9:43
Speaker 1: say ten panel conversations with couples and then five people there,
9:48
Speaker 1: you know, you're able to ask questions. You're able to say, hey,
9:51
Speaker 1: this is my issue. Can somebody ay tell me I'm
9:54
Speaker 1: not alone? And be helped me out? And so it
9:58
Speaker 1: was really fun. And now we're doing it in Atlanta
10:01
Speaker 1: the Black Summing. It's called the Black Love Summit. It's
10:03
Speaker 1: a full day of conversation um in Atlanta on July twenty. Wow,
10:10
Speaker 1: I means you gotta get a lot of stuff. Do
10:11
Speaker 1: you gotta be some banners? You gotta give me up yet,
10:15
Speaker 1: you know, because you have. But we gotta put Roshan
10:17
Speaker 1: the work. You know, it comes to my town. I
10:18
Speaker 1: gotta promote what. I gotta use my social media because
10:21
Speaker 1: I just don't invite my friends on the show and
10:23
Speaker 1: go okay, by good luck. No, we're here to sale tickets.
10:26
Speaker 1: This is money making compensations, but it's it's fixes where
10:31
Speaker 1: this question over this beginning asking about wanting us us
10:35
Speaker 1: wanting to be the hub us wanting to facilitate all
10:38
Speaker 1: the ways in which people consume what they need. And
10:41
Speaker 1: so sometimes people want to watch a TV show. Sometimes
10:44
Speaker 1: it will be on social media, sometimes it will be
10:47
Speaker 1: a live event. And for us, it's trying to figure
10:49
Speaker 1: out how we can strengthen, strengthening the black community and
10:52
Speaker 1: put us in a better place to be and happy, long,
10:56
Speaker 1: love the relationships, and so it's sort of, however we
11:00
Speaker 1: can do that, we will. Well you're doing it, and
11:02
Speaker 1: I hear very clean. First of all, you both are
11:04
Speaker 1: passed producers, your directors, your EPs. So it wasn't like
11:09
Speaker 1: you guys got a lot of people picture these TV
11:11
Speaker 1: shows that don't have the history that you two have
11:14
Speaker 1: to be able to pull this off. Like you said,
11:15
Speaker 1: you're the only two people in the room. How many
11:17
Speaker 1: people that's just not just a regular person walking in there.
11:20
Speaker 1: You have the resume, you know, you know, being able
11:23
Speaker 1: to say this is what I do for a living.
11:25

12:43

15:07
Speaker 1: That's one of the events. So Tommy, you're about to
15:10
Speaker 1: get about a podcast. That's what you're about to say. Podcast.
15:13
Speaker 1: You're making an announcement on money making conversation, that's what
15:15
Speaker 1: you're saying. You know, that would be one of two
15:18
Speaker 1: announcements we make today. Make sure when there's like one
15:24
Speaker 1: minute last night, give you the do you know it
15:28
Speaker 1: was a couple of things that you're saying about the series.
15:31
Speaker 1: If I can get a little tease detail you talk
15:34
Speaker 1: about submissions when you talking about that the role and
15:39
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that the role of the wife or the
15:41
Speaker 1: role of the man when it comes to submission, can
15:43
Speaker 1: you give us a little more detail because I'm trying
15:45
Speaker 1: to build that momentum get everybody go ask me. I'm
15:49
Speaker 1: there to tail talking about it. Here's the thing that's interesting, right,
15:53
Speaker 1: is that it needs different things to different people. Yeah,
15:56
Speaker 1: when you talk about physically, when you think about what
15:58
Speaker 1: people talk about in their VW else are in the church,
16:00
Speaker 1: and maybe it's antiquated, like maybe it's an old term
16:03
Speaker 1: that's what we want to talk about. But when you
16:05
Speaker 1: think of it that way, you know, it's about the
16:07
Speaker 1: wife's submitting to her husband. And a lot of people
16:10
Speaker 1: look at that term, that that word, that that that
16:12
Speaker 1: sentence and go, why I'm not doing that? And some
16:15
Speaker 1: people are like, well, that is what women do in
16:17
Speaker 1: a marriage, and there's a reason for it. And so
16:20
Speaker 1: we actually, Dondre what field is going to talk about
16:22
Speaker 1: this with us talk for sure, and so we're we're
16:31
Speaker 1: just taking a stance as much as disgusting. What does
16:34
Speaker 1: it mean in your marriage? Um? And then too, you
16:37
Speaker 1: know a lot of times we have single people in
16:39
Speaker 1: the audience like what do you think of it? Are
16:41
Speaker 1: you looking to do that? Are you looking not to
16:44
Speaker 1: about it? It usually provokes a reaction one way or another,
16:48
Speaker 1: and you talk about it like what, I'm not doing
16:51
Speaker 1: that anyway? Because let me say, can I say this
16:55
Speaker 1: to from our from our show, from our experience as
16:57
Speaker 1: married people, UM, from conversationations that we have, there's no
17:02
Speaker 1: one way. So we're not here to say we're not
17:05
Speaker 1: where none of these conversations are. This is what you
17:07
Speaker 1: must do to have a happy, healthy marriage prescriptive and
17:11
Speaker 1: that with right, but we are taking ideas right. You
17:14
Speaker 1: mentioned that that certain generations, you know, the mom or
17:18
Speaker 1: the wife stays home and there are the kids and
17:20
Speaker 1: cooks and the husband goes. You know, as we change
17:23
Speaker 1: from generation to generation, what is what is? What do
17:26
Speaker 1: we need to change about our relationships? So, for example,
17:30
Speaker 1: I hadn't got a lot of this until just now
17:32
Speaker 1: when we're talking about submission. And if I were to
17:35
Speaker 1: answer what pumission means for me in my marriage and
17:37
Speaker 1: the idea a phrase that I've said before in marriage
17:41
Speaker 1: as the guy you can be right or you can
17:43
Speaker 1: be happy. He's one. And so for me, that's a
17:46
Speaker 1: level of submitting to the marriage, putting the marriage above
17:50
Speaker 1: what you may naturally want or do to be right.
17:54
Speaker 1: And so that's what submission is. So you're saying, Tommy,
17:58
Speaker 1: there are times where you act right and you know
18:03
Speaker 1: you submit to being wrong absolutely, but it does not.
18:11
Speaker 1: I love it. This is absolutely true. I'm okay, what Racio,
18:15
Speaker 1: that happens. That's universal, that's universal. Hispanic Asian. Hey, we
18:19
Speaker 1: all we all give in, ladies, we give in. We
18:21
Speaker 1: give in, and we're smaller, we're smaller. Public say we're smaller,
18:28
Speaker 1: but we will give in any time. You know, because
18:35
Speaker 1: I'm about to go into a quick conversation about the
18:37
Speaker 1: other thing that nugget that you said, it was about
18:39
Speaker 1: the role of the husband, his role, and you're gonna
18:43
Speaker 1: have a five minute on stage talking about that, and
18:47
Speaker 1: I want to turn to Tommy and talk about that
18:49
Speaker 1: a little bit and give us some some wisdom terminologies
18:53
Speaker 1: that that's going to come out of that session. So
18:57
Speaker 1: this will be our second time doing this. We did
18:59
Speaker 1: it last year at the first timmit and this will
19:01
Speaker 1: been the second time. And it's really the sort of
19:05
Speaker 1: conversations that you know, you sometimes get when you've got
19:08
Speaker 1: just guys hanging out. You know, guys were married different
19:11
Speaker 1: so it's not you know, out looking for women. It's
19:14
Speaker 1: guys who are out and who are committed. And so
19:16
Speaker 1: the conversations that happened privately about what it takes to
19:20
Speaker 1: actually make this thing work. And there are things that
19:24
Speaker 1: there are things that we need to do differently, and
19:26
Speaker 1: there are things that are are women are doing or guys, um,
19:31
Speaker 1: they're just driving us crazy. And so part of it
19:33
Speaker 1: is how do we deal with those things, how do
19:35
Speaker 1: we make sure that we are the best possible partner
19:39
Speaker 1: and and all of what that looks like. So it
19:42
Speaker 1: could be a hundred different things, or it could be
19:45
Speaker 1: human as simple as making sure you still give your
19:48
Speaker 1: partner the minutit of the doubt. There's so many times
19:50
Speaker 1: where as as time goes on, you become short and snappy,
19:56
Speaker 1: and the things that didn't bother you in the beginning
19:58
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden and so World War three.
20:01
Speaker 1: But if you're your best friend, way to do it. Oh,
20:03
Speaker 1: it's fine, and she was just ten minutes late. Yeah,
20:06
Speaker 1: if your spouse shows up ten minutes lade, it's like,
20:10
Speaker 1: who do you think you are? You're so disrespectful And
20:13
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe you left me waiting here for ten minutes, right,
20:18
Speaker 1: definitely hang. And so there's those sorts of things. And
20:23
Speaker 1: also there's a we we as men we need that
20:27
Speaker 1: are menu to talk to. We are the men to
20:29
Speaker 1: talk to who are going to keep us accountable and
20:32
Speaker 1: not to see like, well, yeah, she's crazy. Did you
20:36
Speaker 1: say that to me? Because I would tell you though
20:38
Speaker 1: I never I never share my my relationship with it
20:42
Speaker 1: and my friends. You know, it's kind of like we
20:44
Speaker 1: talk sports, we talk food, we talk sports, you know,
20:48
Speaker 1: and so that's that's that's my conversation with my boys. Now,
20:50
Speaker 1: you know, we want to know anything else. You know,
20:52
Speaker 1: we got problems. Why are you asking and so cutting
20:56
Speaker 1: through that mystery that you're that you're doing this panel.
20:59
Speaker 1: I think it's really really good and uh and and
21:02
Speaker 1: like I said, this is a passion project that I
21:05
Speaker 1: love talking to you too about because it's started with love.
21:09
Speaker 1: It's gonna be built on love, and it's gonna be
21:12
Speaker 1: you guys are going to become you know, content creators,
21:15
Speaker 1: content builders, holders of this information and distributors of this information.
21:19
Speaker 1: And I think that's amazing that you've been able to
21:21
Speaker 1: find this level of balance in your personal life and
21:24
Speaker 1: your professional life and something that's a passion driven project
21:27
Speaker 1: that can make money. We didn't say we had any
21:31
Speaker 1: balance in our personal life. What'd you saying? I said,
21:36
Speaker 1: we didn't say we have any balance in our personal life.
21:39
Speaker 1: You don't have no balance. Three kids? Three you're talking
21:45
Speaker 1: to me on this radio show right now, this podcast.
21:47
Speaker 1: That's balance. Because if kids somewhere else, someone somebody else
21:50
Speaker 1: take care. I know what balance is. I got a kid, okay,
21:53
Speaker 1: and they are in the interview of my life. There
21:55
Speaker 1: is balanced. So somebody's taking care. That's the balance I'm
21:58
Speaker 1: talking about. But when But I do. We have two
22:01
Speaker 1: minutes left and I wanted to uh comment up Tommy

Speaker 1: it Inflint, and it's a it's a story where it's
22:37
Speaker 1: not about the Flint water crisis, but the Flint water
22:40
Speaker 1: crisis is the backdrop. And as such, we wanted to
22:44
Speaker 1: try to continue to make sure that people are thinking
22:47
Speaker 1: about it and pushing the narrative because they're still struggling
22:51
Speaker 1: out there, and people just it's out of sight, out
