• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a favorite couple, oh you know, favorite coup obviously your
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: favorite couple from Tyler Para too, because you know, you

  Speaker 1: guys became legends in the stage play world. And then
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: he was able to to turn in at you your

  Speaker 1: own tour because right before the COVID hit, you guys
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: were touring as a family. Is it gonna come back? Uh?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: In one? That was gonna be moving two, when y'all
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: go back on the road, take the family back on
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the road as a tour. You know, we we we're
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: just trying to juggle and get back to normal. First
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: before we you know, we were eased some new music
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: for Tamala and uh right now we're just trying to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: maneuver and just figure out this whole new new way
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of normal. And then then we only look, I'm ready
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to go back out. I just want everybody else to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: be ready too. Well, you know that's very true, because
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you know I would tell everybody I'm fully vaccinated. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: always tell I try to promote the factor we have
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to get vaccinated. We have to get out there to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: get you know, and promote the factor. And no, there
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: no agenda, and guess what, nothing's perfect out there. I'm
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: not saying if you get vaccinated, you might not have
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: some ill effects, but I would tell you this and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you not both know. Once I got vaccinated, it changed
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: my whole perspective. I wasn't paring on it anymore. I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: felt safer. I felt I could get on with my life.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: What was your what would eat? Your feedback when you
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: got vaccinated? Were for us? I mean some you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: some parts like even when I say so my kids,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: it was like, no, we're not doing I was like,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: but we're doing it because like when I go see
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: my mother, she had some issues. I have a sister
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that has some issues. You know, it's just people that's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: around me that have issues. And I'm not just looking
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: at for me, I'm looking at for them as well,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and even as you know, for the family. So we're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: just not even like you say, encouraging people to just
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you know, do do what's right for you, do what's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: right for you. But we we felt like it was right,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and like you said, you know, it just made us
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: less paranoia. We're around a lot of people, we traveled,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and so I wanted to get back to that and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and it not just be like oh my god, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you know who I wanted to do. They have it right.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It gave us a you know, it just made us
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: feel a little safer. And y'all all the words because
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm such a hugger. I was scared. He was like,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: if you're somebody didn't have a son blown COVID because
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: she wanted to hook you didn't know. It was just
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I was just so used to it. So I'm just
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: we went at a funeral, so supposed to be social distancing.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: She don't grab the mic and hit the mic with
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: her lists? No, what are you doing? People coming up
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to her? Hu, No, No, ain't supposed to be absolutely
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you know. And then I'm talking to David chamlin Man
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, any any story that they tell
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: us as an honest story, and it's a story about life.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And the thing about it is before we was talking
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: last time I've seen it, and David, you started talking
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: about how music and I'm just telling you'all, tamlin Man
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: set a historic and personal industry record the first gospel
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: lead artists and Billboard Gospel history three consecutive number ones
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: from an album. This is who we're talking about. And
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: so I always want to bring out that diversity because
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I'm also gonna talk about your business, your entrepreneurship, you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: leisure line and all that stuff and your various campaigns.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And then I also want to talk about the producer
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: side that you do, David, what I like to always
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: bring up when I bring talent like you on money
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: making conversation. People see only one side of you. They
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: see the enter aim inside to the comedic side, but
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you're there are layers to the man's family. Tamela, tell
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: us about that wells like, like you said, we started
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: with with me. For me, it started with music and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: we started into the acting thing. And now you know, David,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: he pushed me. He pushed me into really be standing
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: out being an artist, which I'm really grateful for because
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he's helped me, with God's help, He's helped me become
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the actress and the artists that I am today. And
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: then even to go into the clothing line Tamla Man
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: collection which is at at Leisure. Weares you know, so
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: force like like I have something on today. But I'm
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: just really excited about all the different things that we
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that we do have our hands in because we've learned
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that you can't put all your eggs in one basket.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: That means it's like you're concentrating just on one thing,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: but sometimes you have more than just one gift. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it's just like him with he is the mastermind of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: all of our little things that we have going on,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and I really appreciate him pushing us even as a family.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in ownership. I like ownership. I
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like to own my masters. I like the oh you
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: know that. I just I'm a big believer in own it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And you know that way you can create the narrative
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: for yourself and you don't have to have somebody else
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to kind of, you know, navigate how you want to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: do it. So that that's just how I operate the business.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Is just like, let's just get in there. Because with her,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I told him, you have a following. People see you snatched,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: they want to know how you snatch. They want to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: know how you look and where you get that stuff from.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So she just started creating and designing her own stuff,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and I was like, don't worry. I'll get somebody we
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: can start distributing it. And that's the way it was
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: with the music. I'll find this distribution, will you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: will produce it ourselves and make it do so. I
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: have new music coming June for a new single help Me.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: The new album is don't drop in all this little
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I'll be back, you know, dropping it. So I'm in it.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm really excited about it because I have, you know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: just looking at you know, yourself and and David and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and really putting my hands to work this album. I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: put my hands to work more than I ever have
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: with any of the other ones. Maybe because we did
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: have the pandemic. We had more time. I was writing more,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: just eating, putting the help and we put the artwork together,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: just creating the ideas for videos. But we just want
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to encourage our people that we can make it happen
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: if we if we support each other, we can make
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it happen for each other. We know. An interesting thing
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: about it is that You're You're beautiful copy and and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the Longevity book. When I had you guys on the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: show talking about that, and when when, Because that means
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that it's possible, because you know, we always here that
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: fifercent of the marriage and the divorce. What is the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: most when I'm talking to David and Tamila man, what
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: advice do you give the people who struggling Because you
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: know you have a strong faith. We all know faith
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: is tied to that. What advice do you give when

  Speaker 1: those moments of doubt come into a relationship. I always
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: tell like I tell my staff and tell me tell everybody,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a little picture and there's a big picture.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the big picture of it all. What
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: what is to come? And you know, for us, even
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: as a couple in the industry, like you were saying,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: with divorce, we genuinely enjoy each other's company. People ask us,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: what's the key, what's the secret? I like this woman
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: right here, and we've managed we we just celebrated thirty
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: three years in April, and it's because we genuinely enjoy
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: each other's company. In this pandemic, you know, people were
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: locked in the house seven with each other. So either
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you you discovered I really love you, or you discovered
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I don't like you at all? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: For we discovered I like even more. I mean to,

  Speaker 1: just want to be there. I just don't want it
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to be one sided. That you're helping me accomplish everything
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: that I want to accomplish. I want to help you
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: accomplish some of those things too. So it's like we
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: try to put each other before each other. You know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: it's not not looking at it through just the one vision,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: uh one. I just focused on myself that I but

• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you're like a manager, proud husband, proud papa. I told
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: you so. I told you can do a guy. When
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you look at that, That's why that's why I read
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: those credits like I read them I read David and
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: joke y, I just read all of hers because he's
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: responsible for that three years. He really is, because people
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: even ask him that rochall. It's like like, because well
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I know that you. I mean, people asking me the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: crazy questions like well, you you're making all the money. No,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I'm really not making all the money, y'all really just
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: don't know. Like you said, he is the mastermind behind
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: it all. So it's like we're doing this together, and
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like we're both in the fourth and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: even in that, I'm so secure and who I am.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: None of that even bothers me when I tell you
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: at all, because I'm so at fifty five, I'm so
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: cool and who I am. They could come up and
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: say all of that, and I'm like, good, that's great. Yeah,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: because we both share the same last name and the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: bank account, all the numbers on the bank accounts, it
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: has both abound the name, so it doesn't matter to me.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Well that then and that and I know it doesn't.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: But what I wanted to say in that and just
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: emphasize it's the roles that we play in the marriage, well,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the roles that were playing a relationship and what happens.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Is that's what destroyers are married and get confused. You know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: you know what success? What role did you play? And
• 15:34

  Speaker 1: at the success of the Man's because you're a brand. Now, Now,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: what is the responsibility of being a brand? Because both
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: of you guys are out there and then you take
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: a management producer role oftentimes David, and you take a
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: talent but you're still an entrepreneur, businesswoman. There's a lot
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: of things going in there. Thirty three years of marriage
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and I'll well celebrate my thirty three year of marriage
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and December, So thank you very much, thank you very much.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: So that's what we're always gonna have that little link
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: together because I know there was a moment in my life,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: especially entertainment, where you you're traveling. You're traveling, and entertainment
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: is a fickle business because there's no consistency. You can't
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: sometimes buy a house, you can't buy clothes, you can't
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: die anything because you know that check you got is
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be there next week. So over I talk about
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: overcoming that uncertainty to maintain this longevity, and then we're
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: gonna talk more about the serious in detail assisted living.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: You know, been in this industry, We've been in this
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: industry for twenty five years, and like you said, we
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: had a lot of friends that said, you know what,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and a lot of talented brothers that have said, you
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: know what, y'all going to do that the uncertainty is
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: too much for me. So what we decided to do
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: is just jump out there full just in faith. I mean,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and I think we start ninety ninety three or something
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: like that, I don't know, somewhere back and then we
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: would decide just getting into the game. And it was
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: like scary because us sometimes it's up and sometimes it's day,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: and we just decided, Lord, we're going full time in it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: And we haven't looked back, you know, as we were
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: talking about with the characters and the music and all
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: of that, we just made sure as entrepreneurs that it
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: hadn't been we haven't been one trick ponies. And that's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: what I think helped us to survive in this pandemic
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: is because yeah, we were not only just depended on
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the road and you were doing you know, like I said,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: we had a clothing line, We have you know, music
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and television and you know stuff like that to kind
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: of help sustain through all of this. You know, it's
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: really interesting because that's that multiple levels of income that
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: we talked about, a lot of people don't do that.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: They they can see that lane of success. And guess
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: what pandemic talks us a lot about pivoty, about looking
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: at the mailbox money. What are you doing besides your
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: primary income or the other income? And that's the platform
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: that you guys are both of you guys have created
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and it has sustained itself through these these dark times
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and and and everything. But but but but I have
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: to be I have to say that before we go,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: is that it was just about Tyler Perry. And it's
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: a good thing is that you guys have had a
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: lot of success with him. Can you can you put
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: in maybe a minute or less than a minute, or
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: talk as long as you want about the greatness of
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Tyler Perry, his influence in this industry when a lot
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: of people questioned it, and his impact on your lives
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and the people he entertains today. Well, a lot of
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: stuff that people that people don't see is the giving
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that he does outside of you know, you hear about
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: some of the stuff that he will do in the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: public guy, but there's a lot more going on behind
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the scenes that he's doing helping other people. Uh, he
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: just choose not to let it be known. Uh. He
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: asked me a question. We were on the road and
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: he asked me the question, so what would it take
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: for you to retire? And uh, I gave him a number,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: was like, okay. He said, no, you gotta dream higher.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: You gotta dream much higher. And I thought about it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, you're right, Okay, you're right. And it
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: just made even sending the studio and send the other
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: stuff that he's done and that he's doing it just
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: made you dare to dream bigger, dare to go, you know,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: like put in the work. You see him, because when
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I tell you do work, people don't believe how much
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: this he worked. By the time he finishes a series,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: he's exhausted. And I've seen it because he puts his mind, body,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: everything into doing this. And that's that's stuff that I've
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: seen through the years. And it's just like, Okay, if
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: that's how he's doing it, if that's how he's become
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a mogul building, I said, Okay, I see it. So
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: it just made me start, Okay, I'm gonna build my
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: And I called him the other day and I say, man,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I'm a little afraid on something. I got an opportunity,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: but I'm afraid what you waiting? No, just go do it, man,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, So I pulled the trigger
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: on it. Just I called him and just asked him
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: that bus on it. I can't tell you all the
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: choice worthy like you gonna do it to stop being scary.
• 29:08
