  Speaker 1: five year plan um and it and it happened in
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in three years, you know. Uh. So it's a um
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: testament um to the team that we have right now
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: we have to date about about forty people, uh that
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that helped this thing move you know, um um and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and everyone from start to finish, top to bottom left right,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: UM has has really helped this dream come true. Now
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: when you say dream come true, what is the dream? Uh?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The dream? The dream is all right, UM, if I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: can have everybody just a dream with me real quick, alright. Uh.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: On the right hand side, you have your local news
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know, your local affiliate, your your ABC, CBS is NBCs. Uh.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: You know that that this group over here, they're they're
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: not going to cover certain stories UM that that effect
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: uh certain neighborhoods. Um, certain neighborhoods. You know that they're
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: only gonna have a narrative um come out of that
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: neighborhood that they're not going to search for those um
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: field good stories, those stories that take a little bit
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: more elbow breaths to get. So you have your local
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: affiliates over here over here, you have your CB, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: mean your major CBS is. You have your CNN's MSNBC
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: S and you have your b E T s. UM.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: We know that when when they talk about the melonated people, uh,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: people of color in this country. Uh, it's it's more
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: so like a broad stroke. It's never gonna get down
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to individual communities, uh, individual neighborhoods. Uh. That's where TCP exists.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: We exist right in that middle, um be because we
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: know that the local affiliates, UM, they're not going to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: get the stories that really address us UM and the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: national Uh, they're not really going to have that microscope
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: so to speak to UM to break down certain stories
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that happen in certain neighborhoods, communities and what have you.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So we exist kind of right in that middle sphere. Uh.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And as we said, let me ask you now, William.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Now the network has ten shows, and now you have
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a show which I'm about to ask you to start talking.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It's tall say less, so you know which is you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: in the in the world of what we're talking about,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of people say sometimes you should speak up.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So we have a tyler call say less. Well, what
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: do you mean by that? Say less is actually probably
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the opposite, because we saved the most UM that is exactly.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like, uh, just a player on where
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: we We are very outspoken on our show. If you've
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: ever seen Say Less for anybody out there. We we
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: cover pop culture, but we also get into social issues
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and we do it unfiltered. We do it with uh
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: with with no no uh. There's there's nobody to tell
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: us what we can and can't set. And that's what
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you get with TCP and you won't get on regular
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: news and regular TV. Like we don't have nobody telling
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: us we can't say this and we can't say that.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So we okay because nobody else, Okay, say less. I'm against,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: don't say let's I'm on the show. Okay, let's talk
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: about some of the topic because you know, that's what
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: money making conversation is. It's a conversation about the community.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: It allows you to have a void like I got
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you know, I've got special guest Marquis over here, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and I'm just stumbling at the opponent show. Hit me
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: with a couple of topics so I can join in,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: come on with you. Okay. Well, yesterday we we didn't
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: say Less, and I started talking to about colorism. Okay,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So because There was a conversation on one day to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Miami where Jim Brown had checked You're not checked. But
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: he was speaking to Malcolm lex and he asked, why
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: was he so militant? Uh? What was he militant? Didn't
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: have to do but because he was light skinned. Um,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And I think colorism, I know colorism still exists today.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Has colorism affected chewing anyway? Now? I would say that
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: because I'm a black man. Anytime I walk in a room,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I've lost I've lost my competitive edge because you know
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: who I am. Okay, that's where white people don't have
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to deal with colorism, you know, now have to deal
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: with being a different shade. I don't know if they
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: are tag you. I don't know if they Jewish, I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: don't know if they Greek. You know, in some situations,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I might not even know that you are from a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Latin American country. So colorism just taking it out of
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the African American community, which we know exists there as well.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: But from a global perspective, I I am at a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: loss because you know, my eights. I can't play a game,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I can't play in the shadow or me being somebody else,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: are coming from a different culture because you know, for
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a fact, I'm either African or I'm black, and so
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: looking at who I am, you're probably gonna say he's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a black guy. So from a colorism has always played
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a a game in my life, but I haven't let
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it stop me because I've realized that's the hand I've
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: been dealt with. And so with that being said, I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: always tell people. We might tell people, you know, racism
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: does exist, so it's your your purpose to get in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the sightline of the decision makers. I always tell people
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: decisions are always made when people are looking forward. People
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: never look back to make a decision. They never do.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: They never turned around. Go oh, let me see who's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: behind me. Oh Bill, I want you to come back here.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: They make a decision looking fraud left the right. And
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: so that's how I see what your brand TCP. You know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you guys are in front of the decision makers. Now
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: who are the decision makers? The viewers? And so so
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: when you ask me about my color, I always tell people, look,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I deal with it, but my job is to be
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in front of the decision makers. And as long as
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I can stand in front of the decision makers, I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: have an edge. And I'm not gonna let that beat
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: me down. And that's how I've been able to stay
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: ahead of the curve. I hear that, that all right,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: because like, come on you again, I love well you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: but but that's why that's why when I when I
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: reached out to you guys, because I saw an article
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: on you and I want you know, we all got
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to have a plane. You know, everybody has this theory
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: because you know, I grew up on BT like we
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: all did. And BT started out with music videos and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: then they started you know, my boy Ed Gordon was
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the what's the you know, it was the black voice
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of news, and then all of a sudden, BT kind
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of like went away. They stopped serving the public for
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: for they never would They never did um do it
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: yourself shows, They never did cooking shows you see on
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: this trying to go in that direction. So black people
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: have always been catered to like, you know, we want action,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: we want a comedy, and uh, you want music in
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the entertainment world, especially in the television of the streaming medium.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: So that's why I'm happy to see what you guys
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: doing because when I see hip hop and politics, King's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Court Boss talk sit down with the Johnson's you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: say less opinionated facts. These are shows that I've been
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: waiting for because of streaming networks and innovative gentlemen like
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you allowed me and my family and my friends and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: people of color to say, guess what, we can participate
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: absolutely and and and that's really what what helped build CCP. UM.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: We we built this thing off of uh Facebook, off
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of Facebook line. Uh. So so it was that that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: audience participation. UM. It was it was active, active TV
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: watching UM, where where as a viewer, UM, you're not
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: only watching the content, but you can be a part
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of the conversation and and really helped control the flow
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: of the conversation to a degree. UM and UM and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: especially over the pandemic. UM when when everything shut down, Uh,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that's when we really experienced a a explosion because everybody
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: was at home. UM, everybody was just scrolling through their phone. UM.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: So what we said, UM, we had to move on
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: from the studio that we were at UM at that
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: time because of COVID, and we said, all right, well look, UM,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna do this from my garage. UM, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: we're just going to broadcast from my garage. And and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: for about four months UM in the pandemic, we broadcasted
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: from my garage. We did it it up um a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: little bit UM. But during that time, again, people were
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: just scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and just absorbing and
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and really enjoying our content. UM. And then with that
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the protests over the summer came UM and and that's
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: when we we witnessed another search because we were we
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: were right in the thick of things, UM, getting getting
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the real stories, getting the real reactions of the people. UM.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: We we went to places where other other journalists UM
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: may have been a bit fearful UM. But because we
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: shared the same personal story um of other people that
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: were protesting, we had access to places and people during
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that time that really helped us tell tell the story UM.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: And and that's where people began to really see the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the effect and the reason why we exist cool. We Uh,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: we were all down. It was terrible, but it was
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a lot to talk about, and that makes for great content.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: So we spoke about it. When you say we take terrible,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you're talking about the George Floyd or the loss of
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: life from COVID. Because it was just overtly affected. People
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: of color were the terrible part about the conversation. All
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of the above COVID hit and um, we we never
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: stopped working, so we was they saw in real time.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Our reaction was like their reaction, like we we had
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: no idea what we were going through. Like it was.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: It was a scary time. And then during that time,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the George Floyd thing happened, and all over the country,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: including our city, there were there were protests everywhere and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: we were on the front lines. We were at the protests,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: we were covering these things. And during these protests, a
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: young man was killed by police in our very city
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and we were first on the scene to cover that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: So like all of these things, like we were there,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: we were, we were in the mix. We were in
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: d c for for for that march they get your
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: knee off our next march, we were there, like we

  Speaker 1: the Young turts UM. But we're just melanated, you know,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it's mellanated media like we like to say, you know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: now we got this step programs. You know, I'm gonna
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: take it this way. I would take it away away.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: You know, when I look at Boss Talk and I
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: look at King's Chord and hip hop and politics, you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that to me is I'm not seeing that nowhere else.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So that's important to hear that because I can't hear
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: that on the radio. I can't hear that on Serious
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: x M, even though they say that's what they do.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: You know, you know they you know, they they they've
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: had the same people to host the same shows for
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the last ten years. And that's serious talk. And if
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you go to the to the HBC used, they're over
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: there inundated by jazz stations and adult program It really
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: is crazy to me when I go to college stations
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and I go, who are they trying to the listeners
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: fitting up? And so that means they missed the whole
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: voice of what I think these schools are supposed to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: be at tuned into. And so so when I listened
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: what you guys are doing, it feels like I'm hitting
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the millennial generation well much that am I wrong in
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: saying that, No, we were we were blessed with the Internet,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and with the Internet we were able to cut out
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the the middleman and give it to the people's straight,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: no filter, and and that's what we try to do. It.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: We're gonna hit it from all angles using the technology
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: that we had and the technology that we've had when
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: we started to the technology that we have now has
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: allowed us to be capable of doing things that we
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even have dreamed about in the beginning. And so
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: so it's moving at a rapid pace. And yeah, that's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what we're gonna do, is take complete advantage
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: of every media platform that we can. Now, he's a
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: funny part. Now you know you said you started on
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Facebook live, So im impression that y'all y'all were like
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, it was raw, it was unpredictable. Uh,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: it was learning on the on the fly. People people
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: comment and you're dropping some information accurate, but it was
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: from the heart. Talk about those earliest early years. So
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: of lunch the oh man. So um so, we we
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: started um in in a community center, um in in
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: a um studio that wasn't used for ten years. Um
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: so there was there was just terrible, terrible, terrible reception um,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: no ventilation. Uh. And and we had to hold our
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: phones so like we we would have to hold the
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: phone for an hour, you know, seventy five minutes, ninety minutes,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: however long the show is. And our arm was a
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: tripod and like I'm coming up was like a money joke. Uh,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: TCP t C p Uh, they'll have you hold the phone.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: They'll have you hold the phone for an hour. You know.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: So so that was really like, UM, that was a
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: humbling Uh. It was very very humbling. And then UM,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and then at times when the community center was closed,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: you know, we had to figure out ways to still
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: put on the show and everything because we wanted to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: be consistent with this um our start is what really
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: is our strong foundation, because we really leaned on one another,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: um at the beginning, and and and now we can
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: share those stories now like oh we got a studio now.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: But at the beginning, UM, I remember when we were
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: running off of one life, you know, UM, when we
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: were all sweating in the studio, those signs were very humbling.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Don't they lock us out the building and we can't
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: get in? But you know, and that your Roku your
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Roku challenge, you know, it's like it's like it's it's like,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: don't let when I when I hear your story and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I read your story, it's really about overcoming the odds
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and like I said, people kicking dirt in your face
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and people caution you, people being more critical but not
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: seeing the vision or the passion of the hope, the dreams.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And now you're on the Rocal channel, which is the
• 21:03
