Speaker 1: You sixteen? Was the police stop you? Okay? Harassing you? Now, Ashley,
4:13
Speaker 1: you noticed this? You see all this going down? The

Speaker 1: police accused you of dealing in drugs? Correct Quavers? Yeah? Yeah,
4:21
Speaker 1: they was only I was actually surfing the undercover agent
4:25
Speaker 1: for about two weeks. So, um, yeah, it was the
4:28
Speaker 1: open play for the underplay. They were setting me up
4:31
Speaker 1: now now but it was all wrong. But that's so
4:34
Speaker 1: after they let you go, Ashley, you called him correct. Yeah,
4:39
Speaker 1: he tossed his package in my bushes, and I thought
4:42
Speaker 1: so I went and got it out of the bushes
4:44
Speaker 1: before the police searched them, and then I called him.
4:47
Speaker 1: We had a mutual friend, right right right, it's just
4:50
Speaker 1: like a book. We actually used this. I know, you know,
4:55
Speaker 1: I know all that get to my interview. I got
4:59
Speaker 1: my research on both of y'all. I'm not gonna come
5:01
Speaker 1: on this show and act like I don't know who
5:03
Speaker 1: I'm talking to. Man, we appreciated my brother, but listen, Maye,
5:08
Speaker 1: just it started the union that would last. Well. We
5:11
Speaker 1: we've been together with sixteen years. Man. Um, I was
5:16
Speaker 1: running from the cops, man, and she literally saved my life. Man.
5:18
Speaker 1: She you know, she threw I'm sorry when I threw
5:22
Speaker 1: what I had in the bushes, Man, she she picked
5:24
Speaker 1: it up and she put it up for me for later.
5:26
Speaker 1: So you know we're from Flint, Michigan, Rashaan Man, So
5:29
Speaker 1: that means, you know, loyalty has to be earned. But
5:32
Speaker 1: I don't love this girl because within the first day
5:35
Speaker 1: I met her, she showed me loyalty and that's something
5:37
Speaker 1: that I wasn't used to. You know that that kind
5:40
Speaker 1: of started the friendship, and that friendship matured into a relationship,
5:45
Speaker 1: and then later that relationship um turned into a partnership.
5:49
Speaker 1: Man went together. You know, we were families. You know.
5:53
Speaker 1: It's interesting, you know that because you know, you guys
5:56
Speaker 1: from Flint, Michigan. Let's basically at inner city, and the
6:00
Speaker 1: mind of that with with with a with a strong
6:02
Speaker 1: literary sense, you know, because I you know, I tell
6:05
Speaker 1: people like you know, when I came out of high school.
6:07
Speaker 1: You know, I was an honor student and I took
6:09
Speaker 1: all honors classes, but I didn't really care about English.
6:13
Speaker 1: And I remember when I went to college, I had
6:14
Speaker 1: to take remedial English to qualify because I didn't care.
6:18
Speaker 1: I didn't care. I didn't know the subject verry now
6:20
Speaker 1: and I didn't know the sequence of what would make
6:22
Speaker 1: a sentence and the preposition and all those things because
6:25
Speaker 1: I didn't realize the importance of it. And that's why
6:28
Speaker 1: that's why it's important when I hear you guys, and
6:31
Speaker 1: along the way in middle school English and literacy was
6:35
Speaker 1: important because, like I said, when I was in middle school,
6:37
Speaker 1: I read, you know, I read I read uh uh
6:41
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings when I was in middle school,
6:44
Speaker 1: and that book was like nine hundred pages. And so
6:47
Speaker 1: I I say that to say that you guys play
6:49
Speaker 1: an important role. And that's one of the reasons I
6:51
Speaker 1: brought you on the show and I hopefully become friends
6:53
Speaker 1: and just constantly communicated on a regular basis, because it's
6:57
Speaker 1: important that reading really is fundamental, man, absolutely absolutely, and
7:05
Speaker 1: telling stories that you guys are telling. That's why I
7:07
Speaker 1: want to let everybody know that, yeah, I'm a sitcom writer,
7:10
Speaker 1: you guys are true storytellers. And that's really important because
7:14
Speaker 1: when I was reading the book from the opening when
7:16
Speaker 1: they're on the private jet and you know, I'm not
7:18
Speaker 1: gonna tell a story because we're trying to sell books.
7:21
Speaker 1: We're not trying to give away the book, you know,
7:24
Speaker 1: you know, but all those things I'm just telling you guys.
7:26
Speaker 1: When you read their books and they got they got
7:28
Speaker 1: an interesting style because they do transitional time frames. You know,
7:32
Speaker 1: you've been this time period and then they take you
7:34
Speaker 1: back to to tell you the journey how that moment
7:38
Speaker 1: came up to this point and and it's really interesting,
7:41
Speaker 1: how did you guys develop your writing style? Um, well,
7:46
Speaker 1: I finally believe that being a writer, you can't be
7:49
Speaker 1: a writer without being a reader. First. First ate was
7:52
Speaker 1: actually out of borders about borders by right, that's a precord.
7:57
Speaker 1: You have to fall in love with storytelling in general, right,
8:00
Speaker 1: And through doing that, we both really love to read
8:03
Speaker 1: as young kids. So through doing that, we wanted to
8:07
Speaker 1: write stories that people could relate to, that people could
8:11
Speaker 1: find in just okay, when we were young, there were
8:14
Speaker 1: no stories or characters that looked like us, that sounded
8:16
Speaker 1: like us, or that we're from the areas. That we
8:19
Speaker 1: wanted to change that landscape in literature. So now we're writing.
8:22
Speaker 1: We're forty books in. We've contributed space on the shelves
8:26
Speaker 1: by African American people for African American people. Right right,
8:31
Speaker 1: I was reading this article. I've took some snippets. I
8:34
Speaker 1: thought there's some very important articles. There's just New York
8:36
Speaker 1: Times magazine article written in urban fiction or streetlet has
8:42
Speaker 1: been snubbed by the publishing industry and scorned by the
8:45
Speaker 1: black intellectuals. Yet these authors may just be the most
8:49
Speaker 1: successful literary couple in America. So when I write that,
8:56
Speaker 1: when I say that because I know as a writer,
8:58
Speaker 1: as an entertainer, people can make judgment on people and
9:02
Speaker 1: don't even know the the end goal and end goal
9:04
Speaker 1: is about writing creative concepts and storylines that are relatable.
9:09
Speaker 1: Isn't that correct? Yeah? Absolutely, man, see it is. I
9:13
Speaker 1: love to use that analogy like the roles that grows
9:15
Speaker 1: from concrete. When a person or a black intellectual looks
9:21
Speaker 1: at this rose and they see all the torn pedals
9:24
Speaker 1: and the thorns, they look at it as fa like
9:28
Speaker 1: this ugly rose, but they do not take into the
9:31
Speaker 1: count of tenacity of that roads to grow through that concrete.
9:35
Speaker 1: And it's a reason why it has those broken petals
9:38
Speaker 1: and thorns. And that's how we look at our style
9:41
Speaker 1: of writing. They look at it like it's something that's
9:45
Speaker 1: but needs a literature, but it's not. It's where we
9:49
Speaker 1: came from. We're products of our environment and we made
9:52
Speaker 1: it beautiful. Like at first they talked about it, but
9:55
Speaker 1: then they began to like give us accolaides and of
10:00
Speaker 1: what we were doing. There you go, that was the
10:02
Speaker 1: plan from the beginning, man, There you go. We kept
10:05
Speaker 1: on putting out quality product, um, and kept on being consistent,
10:09
Speaker 1: and those sprowns begin to turn into the collapse. And um,
10:13
Speaker 1: that's where we're at now. Man. We we're thirty two
10:15
Speaker 1: years old, man, and wow, and we made history. Man,
10:19
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep on home making it. You know, I'm
10:20
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. I don't know who the black
10:23
Speaker 1: intellectual else, but I am a black intellectual. Do you
10:27
Speaker 1: if there's a club out there, every shot McDonald's in
10:29
Speaker 1: that club. Okay, you know I got em me sitting
10:34
Speaker 1: on the shell I got I got image awards sitting
10:37
Speaker 1: on my shell. I just sold four million books for HarperCollins.
10:42
Speaker 1: I didn't put two blockbuster movies in the theater. I'm
10:45
Speaker 1: gonna tell you, y'all, some young people don't ever let
10:48
Speaker 1: nobody tell you who you are. Don't ever let nobody
10:52
Speaker 1: tell you what you're exposed to do. It. Didn't understand
10:55
Speaker 1: your journey, understand the shoes that you're walking. I'm telling you,
10:59
Speaker 1: I picked that look up. I didn't put it down.
11:02
Speaker 1: I went and got me a couple of sandwiches, and
11:04
Speaker 1: I would eat my sandwiches, and and I put it down.
11:07
Speaker 1: And my wife said, you don't watch the football game.
11:09
Speaker 1: I didn't watch no football game on Sunday because because
11:13
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tell you something. I enjoyed the storytelling.
11:16
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the and I'm gonna keep telling everybody because
11:20
Speaker 1: now I gotta go back and read the series now,
11:22
Speaker 1: because it's interesting in my life. Because you know, like
11:25
Speaker 1: I told you, in middle school, I read, read, read,
11:29
Speaker 1: and then when I got out of the middle school,
11:31
Speaker 1: I was just running and racing and just dealing with stuff.
11:34
Speaker 1: But man, y'all, you guys have brought me back into
11:36
Speaker 1: the fold with this book. Man, we love it. Man,
11:40
Speaker 1: that that means so much to We really appreciate you
11:43
Speaker 1: taking up the time and really just understanding our writing
11:46
Speaker 1: and reading it. Man, that means the world, said I
11:49
Speaker 1: would just tell you something. You know, I want people
11:51
Speaker 1: to understand this. We're gonna be right back because it's
11:53
Speaker 1: going another break with the with the best. New York

Speaker 1: Times is said the most accomplished and successful literary writing
12:01
Speaker 1: couple in America. Be right back with more money making conversation.

Speaker 1: Don't y'all go nowhere to be back with more money
12:10
Speaker 1: making conversation on the phone. New York Times and labeled
12:14
Speaker 1: them as the most successful literary couple in America and
12:17
Speaker 1: they're doing everything and a hold of that matter on
12:19
Speaker 1: the phone with Astling and Joe Craves Koba, you guys back, Yeah,
12:25
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this right quick. It was
12:28
Speaker 1: read just about this deal you guys have you have
12:31
Speaker 1: a deal you signed with Warner Brothers Studio at NBC
12:33
Speaker 1: Universal to develop television projects. And you also agreed to
12:37
Speaker 1: an audio exclusive deal with Audible, a company owned by
12:40
Speaker 1: Amazon dot Com, A deal that's the first of his
12:43
Speaker 1: kind with fiction writers. Okay, I yet now talk to
12:48
Speaker 1: me about that. Uh, well, we're forty books in so
12:51
Speaker 1: we're just looking for new ways to tell. It was
12:56
Speaker 1: a um effected progression for us to move into television
12:59
Speaker 1: and him absolutely when l A, we just found a
13:02
Speaker 1: world of opportunities that we're just creatives out there that
13:05
Speaker 1: we're willing to partner with us to our story to
13:10
Speaker 1: the screen. Um. We were very lucky to link up
13:12
Speaker 1: with Warner Brothers and Universal Cable Productions to create two
13:17
Speaker 1: television shows. So we're bringing our content to the sub
13:22
Speaker 1: screen where we're able to tell the types of stories
13:24
Speaker 1: that we want to tell with people that look like us.
13:27
Speaker 1: So we're very very fortunate to become in as executive producers,
13:31
Speaker 1: not as um staff writers in the room. So we're
13:34
Speaker 1: controlling the type of shows that we're shaping. There, you
13:37
Speaker 1: go right there, That's all I wanted to hear. Were
13:41
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna tell you something. People out there, you know,
13:46
Speaker 1: I get frustrated when super talented people to you guys
13:49
Speaker 1: like see you throw that number out there forty like
13:51
Speaker 1: it was nothing. You really need to stop talking to me, Ashley.
13:56
Speaker 1: You we can't talk no more. Oh if we fall
14:00
Speaker 1: of their books in you know, and we went to
14:02
Speaker 1: Hollywood and thought we'd find some new avenues to express
14:04
Speaker 1: our vision. But you said control because it's important because
14:11
Speaker 1: people see things a certain way, and because they're writers,
14:15
Speaker 1: they don't have the life experience. And if if you
14:18
Speaker 1: hold onto anything, hold onto your name and your brand.
14:22
Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna tell you something. I've been an executively
14:24
Speaker 1: do so I've been a writer. I should always tell
14:26
Speaker 1: us to Steve Harvey as a Steve, I can get
14:29
Speaker 1: a job the next day. If your show get counsel.
14:33
Speaker 1: If your show get counsel, your name is tarnished. So
14:36
Speaker 1: always know this is that your brand. It's what got
14:41
Speaker 1: you there. And if you don't respect it and control it.
14:45
Speaker 1: And I don't care what names they call you, I
14:47
Speaker 1: don't if they kill you, y'all jerks, y'all asses or whatever.
14:52
Speaker 1: You control your image, man, because they will get a
14:55
Speaker 1: job someplace else and they don't even know you. I'm
14:58
Speaker 1: gonna just tell you. The writers who come on There's show,
15:00
Speaker 1: they don't know you. They may have read and half
15:02
Speaker 1: a book, read, a little clip from a New York
15:05
Speaker 1: Times article, went in there, pitched, and then on your
15:08
Speaker 1: show based on some other work they did on other dramas.
15:11
Speaker 1: So your brand control is important. Hit me on that, absolutely,
15:16
Speaker 1: that's excellent advice. And learn how to direct too. Okay,
15:21
Speaker 1: that way you can knock that director out of that
15:23
Speaker 1: chair and you start directing and controlling your whole brand,
15:27
Speaker 1: because you guys have something special. And the reason I
15:30
Speaker 1: say that because when I read, uh, the Cartel seven,
15:34
Speaker 1: I just saw the whole series. You know you guys right,
15:37
Speaker 1: so good man, It's like I just I just saw.
15:41
Speaker 1: I just felt like every chapter was another episode you
15:44
Speaker 1: feel me, and so it was like every episode it
15:47
Speaker 1: was like because I'm a big fan of you know,
15:49
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tell you this. When Power came out,
15:52
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to compare what you do the Power,
15:54
Speaker 1: but that it's that gritty genre. You know what I'm
15:56
Speaker 1: saying where a show like that wasn't supposed to make
15:58
Speaker 1: it on TV. Go t with like that in the past,
16:01
Speaker 1: ain't made it on TV. And I'll be perfectly honest,
16:04
Speaker 1: when they told me fifty six was tied to it,
16:06
Speaker 1: I turned my friend, go, this ain't gonna make it.
16:09
Speaker 1: This ain't I ain't gonna watch this crap. I am
16:13
Speaker 1: the biggest power of fan you can find. Because in
16:17
Speaker 1: the end, this is why I know you guys can
16:20
Speaker 1: be successful with this, because your series is about family.
16:25
Speaker 1: Your series is really about parody and that emotion. If
16:30
Speaker 1: you look at Knarckles, the series that's just about family.
16:33
Speaker 1: If you look at if you look at the series
16:35
Speaker 1: with Power, that's really about two parents who making mistakes,
16:40
Speaker 1: really trying to take care of their family. This just
16:41
Speaker 1: happened to be drug dealers. Just have to be drug dealers.
16:44
Speaker 1: There ain't no different to somebody that ibm ain't nobody
16:47
Speaker 1: different somebody Amazon dot Com. It's just that their lifestyle,
16:50
Speaker 1: little bit interest because they kill people, they beat up people,
16:53
Speaker 1: ruff them up. That's all y'all do. But that's that's
16:57
Speaker 1: the that's the enlightening part. That's why I know you
