• 4:52
  Speaker 1: just very honored to be able to be a part
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of your continuing, uh just career and legacy. And so
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's always beautiful to connect with a brother who you've
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: looked up to for so long. Um. Yeah, the Mariah
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Carey project came. Um she invited me to write along
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: with her and her writing partner, and so I went
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to her home and she showed me where they were
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: with the song and it felt good, and they just
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: kind of wanted to have some different moments in the song,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and so I said that at the piano kind of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: just through some ideas of where we could go with
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the song, how we could, you know, maybe even do
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: some different things in the bridge. And then I had
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a whole idea for a vamp kind of like a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: tape kind of I could take him to church vamp,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you know, And so um, I sat down and kind
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of through some ideas and so we co wrote the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: record together and and I and I brought it back
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: to Dallas, and I put my band on it, put
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: my singers on it, kind of did my thing, and uh,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, she really loved it. And it's really humbling
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: for her to be able to really connect with it
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: like that. And um yeah, and and then UH colead
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: jumped on it and they were super dope. He is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a great young talent and so and so yeah, it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a great opportunity to just to continue to try to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: have the conversation about you know, man, how gospel music
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and the community did not come from uh and just
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: just the gravity and just the breath of the people
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in it, and and and how viable gospel music style
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and the message in just the community is when it
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: comes to any area of music, it could be pop music,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it could be hip public can be country music. Wherever
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it is, this music can live there because you're talking
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: about a part of Americano and so you know, to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: not only is it the good news of Jesus christis
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: also music that is the foundation of American music, is
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the foundation of black experience here and uh and Western
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: civilization and so Because of that, you can always see
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's influence, and you can always see
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: uh it's impact even now. I mean, every pop artists,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: every hip hop artists, their band are a bunch of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: church musicians. I mean, I was at A Snoop's mother's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: funeral this past week. Snoop asked me to do it
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to music for his mother's funeral, and the whole and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: his whole band there's church guys. That's why I be
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: able to just and I didn't have one rehearsal. I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: didn't have one rehearsal. I just jumped on the piano
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: with the singers and we were able to go from
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: some about the name Jesus to to to my life
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: is in your hands, because I mean, you know, we
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: all speak that same language. And so it was really
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: exciting to bring that essence UH music and to the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Mariah Harry song. And it's very humbling to bring that
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that essence of culture music to even now scripted programming
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and to visual to visual platforms like UH, Kirk Franklin's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and gospel. Chris hold on k, you got too much.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You're gonna slide through these different things. I gotta stop
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: on great moments. Now you're out there with you something
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I had, I had Mariah carry come on down the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Dallas and mix it up with the band, and I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: was a Snoop Dogg and played with the band and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: then you know something about the name of Jesus who
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: he knows. That's my all time favorite Kirk Tank song
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: right there, He's just gonna slide past that. You know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the unfortunately delivered as a sad moment for Snoop Dogg.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: But that's an inspirational song. And let you know, there is, uh,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: there is, there's guidance for us in our sad moments,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and that type of music that you produced over the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: years creates that. But I'm looking at this video, man.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: First of all, I'm kind of mad because Maria Carry
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: don't age. She don't age. Man, I'm looking at Okay, really, Maria,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: really you're gonna do it like this? And then then
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: but then I'm enjoying. I'm enjoying the video, right, Kurt.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, and then all a sudden, Kirk,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you you kirtified it. You know what I'm saying. You
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: know you're doing, Man, come on there with that kurrect tone.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I love it man, after a little hey man, because
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you have a style, man, you have a presence, man,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you have a and that that that brand. Let's talk
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: about that Kurt Franklin brand, because, like I said, it's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: really when I set up and think about we have
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: been on this journey together. Man. You know, you know
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: BT celebrations of gospel. Man, we both Texas boys, you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: all journey. Different TV shows that you did or when
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I was doing Sister Sister, all these different things, movie ideas.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: We kicked back and forth. But what is the Kurt
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Franklin brand Man that you that you built, man, because
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you built through your your honesty, built through your you
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: know you through the performance. She was injured and you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you covered from that. So that's a journey in life
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and you've been out there. But this brand is just growing.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: That school. It's gonna allow us to talk about these
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: television productions that are coming up. Talk about that Kurt
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Franklin brand. Uh. Well, you know this is going to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: probably the part of the interview that I'm going to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: suck at the most because I mean, you know me
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: better than anyone you know in this space, and I
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: am unapologetic in my faith. I'm unapologetic in my Christian
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: faith and I and I try to very hard to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: live it more than I preach. It is because I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: think people would rather see a sermon rather than here
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a sermon any day. And so I really believe, well
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: unapologetic lead that everything that I'm blessed to do, it's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: all by the grace and kindness of the Lord. I mean,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not that smart, I'm not that genius to have
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: this strategy and plant. There may be other people that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: are like that, but not me. I mean I am.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I am totally whatever. Whatever I've been blessed to do
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: or whatever I desire to do, is it's all because
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of the Lord's kindness. It's it's it's not I don't
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: have a rimed, you know, I don't. I don't have
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: ingredients of songwriting. These are songs that God loans me.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: These are these are these are moments I try to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: be a good steward over um. One of my mentors
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: in life that one of my mentors, Dr Tony Evans
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: taught me is I'm a manager of everything, but I'm
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: an owner of nothing. That everything that everything belongs to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: God and so I'm just a steward. I'm just a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: manager of moments and so um, you know, and and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and I aligned with that ideal, those those those those
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: constructs of what I subscribe to. And it's it's it's
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a boy the grace and kindness of Christ, you know.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: So you know it's beautiful because Dr Tony Evans he
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: was on my show last week and the Priscilla Shire
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and her son and it's just watching my show Shift.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: You know, it's about money making conversations, but it's about life.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: It's about journeys and things like that. When I look
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: at what you're doing. Um, the movie I saw, you
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: know their stars uh um McKinney and stars chas Lamar
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Shepherd and Regina Bear comes up fire at the very
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: top of its you know, leading the church and strong
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: women and female characters. That's what that was My number
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: one takeaway from this particular project was that was that
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: was that a purposeful motion of uh take on this
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: particular script. You wanted to do a movie that had
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the show women, especially black women, empowered in this manner
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: because they are very very um a directive their short leadership,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: they're showing sensitivity, they're showing arts all these days. That's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: my number one takeaway from this, which I thought was fantastic. Yeah,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that is no doubt a mandate for Lifetime. Lifetime is
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: very committed to UH, to diversity and to be able
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to give women, especially women of color, opportunities in front
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: of the camera, behind the camera, and so um um
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: it is UH very much intentional. And and even from
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: from the writer of the movie to the to other
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: EPs that repeiing de parject with me, Tracy Tweinky Bird
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and uh Leslie Grief and and and and just so
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: many others, is is that it is it is intentional
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to be able to show the diversity of who we
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: are as people of color. And I even think that
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Lifetime even allowing me to brand the movie Kirk Franklin's
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and Gospel Christmas shows even their commitment to diversity to
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: even genres. UH. To be able to show that there's
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a viability within the space, to be able to bring
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to even allow somebody from my community to be able
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to to brand the movie that they spend million of
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: dollars to make. It is something that I'm very humbled
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of and and I and I and I pray that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the community comes out and supports it to be able
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: to show UH networks is because you and I both
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: know I'm UH. You know, TV and film, they're not
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in the missionary business, you know, their money business, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: so and so it is very important that if we
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: want UH inspirational and aspirational entertainment, that we've got to
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: show up. That we've got to be able to show
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: up in the numbers. Like for example, in Lifetime was
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the number one holiday movie destination, but over seventy one
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: eight million viewers watching this type of programming for the holidays.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: And so with Kirk Franklin's The Gospel Christmas, I would
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: really love to show them that people really love this
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: genre of music and that they're going to show up
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: because they get excited like this. This movie will feature
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: reimagined versions of Christmas songs from my Christmas album You've
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Got Me the Christmas Album in and so the theme
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: of the script was built around UH songs for my
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Christmas album, and they've been reimagining UH for this movie.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And so it's going to be super dope and it's
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a very good, snuggy movie. Get
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you some hot co co and UH and put you
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: one zon. We'll be right back with more money making
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: conversation with sixteen time Grammy Award winning gospel singer, arranger
• 15:17

  Speaker 1: Is this fascinating world? Find a forest near you and
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: start exploring. I Discover the Forest dot orgon brought to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: you by the United States Forest Service and the Council.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: This is what Sean McDonald. Welcome back to Money Making
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Conversations as I continue my conversation with sixteen time Grammy
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Award winning gospel singer, songwriter, arranger and producer Kurt Franklin.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: First of all, you know it's a romance. You know,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: it's romance and attractive beads. Charles Lamar Sheppard, like I said,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: it's Charles the Shipper. Before we go back to Steve
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Harvey and I when we did this very first sitcom,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Me and the Boys back in ninety four, Chas Lamar
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Sheppard was one of the kids on the show. So
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I've been doing a chance all the way back to
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: his ninety four and then uh Dmitria McKinney, I've been
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: knowing us on my show. I met a wonderful son.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: She's a powerful single mom. And then Regina Well, so
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: when I when I watch a show like this, like
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I said, I just had Kelly Rowland and uh Precia
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Webb on the show talking about their life Time project.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: All the reason I bringing up in interviews that Lifetime
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: is making a commit meant to diversity. Like you were saying,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: this is not a warm They're comfortable with putting us
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: people of color on their network. That's important for us
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: to see, correct, very important. But just because we we
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: we have heard what's been coined as this new UH phrase,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: but it's really true across all cultural UH formats, is
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that representation matters, and so that matters in any aspect.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Uh it's not on the gender, I uh, gender equality,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: but it's also racing equality and and so uh these
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: things matter. These these these things matter to also be
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: able to address some of the key line things that
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: systemically divide us, like socio economic equality or disparity. And
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: so when when black folk are able to write scripts
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and to be behind the camera into workal movies, then
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: now what you're doing is that you're making that that
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: playground a a more more more fair opportunity for all people.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Is because you're not only seeing us with with needs
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: on our next in the street. You're saying that we
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: want to be able to show a bigger image of
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the hopefulness that can come from a community of people. Well,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you know the beauty of you know, like I was mentioned,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: like I was interviewing Dr Tony Evans based out of Dallas,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: is about his documentary and his journey and and what
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I call him as a visual bible is beautiful going
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: back with his family and all this stuff is his
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: wife is in it before she passed away and said
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: daddy who's recently passed away. So it's an emotional story,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: but what I want to say is that never in
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: life have I seen this amount of black culture on
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: so many different unique mainstreams, you know, And that's the
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: beauty of where we're living at, Kirk. And for you
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to be a person who you know, who has come
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: through the lens of music and music allows you to
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: produce videos and be a part of that directoral And
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: one of I'm telling you one of the all time
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: great funny, entertaining videos was when Kurt's poofed himself with
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey back. If y'all find that video, that's one
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: of the funniest videos of all time. When they do
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a spoof of Eddie murphtt, that's one of the all
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: time This brother is very funny. I just popped in
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: my head when I was thinking about your laughing about that, man.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: But when you look at these transitions. Man, now you're
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: about to do a Shooes eight episode series that explores
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the gospel music industry through the lens family, faith, love,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and redemptive power of music. That's the power of gospel
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: music is the redemptive power. That's what I got out
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: to show your movie. They're just watching, you know, Kirk,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Franklin's Our Gospel Christmas is redemptive because of the fact
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: that in her she doubted herself. She didn't believe she
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: could accomplish the task that her parents knew she could do.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: And that's really powerful content for young people to see,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: and especially for black people to see. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: it is that. I think that that that that the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the narrative of the black experience in North America is
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: so transferable uh over socio economic lines uh um uh
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: religious lines, uh lines of academia and scholarship. Is because
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: as people of color, we speak these these secret languages,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: these these these these waves and and and and and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: these energies that that are just transferable to our people.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: We we we know what this means. You know, we
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: know what this means. You know what I'm saying. You
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: know you know, you know you know. And if we
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: understand it, if you went to an h b c
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: U or if you went to an Ivy League school,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: you understand the heartbeat of our people and soul. For
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Hollywood two uh to not always continue to appropriate our experience,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: but to include us in our own stories. Um, it
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: just makes for a for for for a more civil
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: society when people feel like they matter and their experiences
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: are not being plagiarized, but but but they are being
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: they are being compensated for the uniqueness of how God
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: made Before we get into the drama series Kingdom U
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Kingdom Business. Now the Apple TV Plus that you're doing
• 23:00

  Speaker 1: I don't need to lose weight. And I was like, no,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: you need to lose weight. And what happened. It came
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: at a perfect time in my life that I could
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: focus on it, you know, when it's a up and
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: it was something that said I can inspire others and
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: make money. I was that was right up my alley,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: and um, it really showed me how to live and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: get healthy. It was it's a lifestyle situation. I heard
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: people say that, oh it's a lifestyle you gotta know.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: But like you, I always looked at you and you
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: always look good in the sup but you were always healthy,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: you were always fit, and you look good. So you know,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be that person. I'm still a tomboy though,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: but I still you know, but I wanted to do that.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: So weight watchers, Uh, well w W really helped me
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: do that. We really did. You know what really is
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: what really is so good about it? Your your facial
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: skin looks amazing, it looks, it just glows. It's just
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: your your skin tone, your eyes, everything's your neck, all
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: those areas where you see let weight logs can like
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: really be a detriment because it shows really is complimenting
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: you because you know it looks great. Talk about that. Well,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: thank you so much. You know, I'm a firm, a
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: really really firm believer in how you feel on the
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: inside will come out on the outside. So, um, a
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: lot of water is what they really make you drink. Um,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you stay hydrated, your skin is gonna look good. But
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: being happy on the inside, um, I think it comes
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: out because people are always like you're always so happy.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I really try to maintain that because I like to
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: be an inspiration to so many people. Um So, I
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: think that's what And when I look good and feel good,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: then I'm even happier. You know. It's it's an up
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: and down thing. You you know, even if I lost
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: thirty pounds, you know, I might have gained some back
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: right now, and now it's just I get back on
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: the journey. I mean I never stopped. But then you
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: have to you know, work out some more, drink some
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: more water. Um So it's a constant, uh struggle because
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: it didn't take me this many years to get that size.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: So it's not gonna be an overnight thing. And one
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: thing I am a true believer. I tell people Tomorrow
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: is gonna come in for lucky, Christmas is gonna come,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Valentine's Day is gonna come. You can make a choice.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Do I want to be where I am right now?
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: And that day is going to come, Valentine's Day's gonna come,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Christmas gonna come. I can say, you know what, I'm
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be thirty pounds where I am now, where I
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: could be ten pounds lighter, because it's gonna come anyway.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: You gotta eat slide, but gonna just change it right. Well,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I have reason I'm very complimentary because, like
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, certain people lose weight and they
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: don't look like they used, they don't look like they
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: are you know, they lose so much weight. You still
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: look attractive, you still look like Kim Whitley, and you
• 37:41

  Speaker 1: is what they do, you know, make it on the spot.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: I don't you know, you gotta I gotta have my recipe.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: I gotta know all that stuff. You know. That's because
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: you learned that on the Worst Cook episode got I
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: don't know how these people these people were cooking without
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: a recipe. Yes, and that's what part it makes it interesting,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: but also could be frustrated because, as you know, too
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: much salt changes the recipe, too much, you know, not
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: enough water changes the recipe of all your contestants. What
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: was the most challenging part of the show. We're balancing
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: the judge's energy because you gotta keep them engaged and
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: then and then also you have to stop them from
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: going too far, you know, with with comments and criticism.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Talk about that. Wow, your questions are difficult and interesting,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: you know. It was it was the balance of wanting
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: the contestants to still have fun and be competitive and
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: don't give up, and for the judges not to be
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: too judgmental, and for everyone to have fun. That was
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: the thing. It's a competition. It's five thousand dollars, it's
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: not you know and all be all. It's some money.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: But to think of it as an opportunity to just
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: have a good time and share your recipes. I think
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: that was the hardest part. And not hurting anybody's feelings.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: That was It was a difficult. It was a tight role,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: right right. What we're talking to Kim. She just starved
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: this new television series of food competition show on Network,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: The Big Holiday Food Fight, but one of one of
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: the I'm gonna transition a little bit to one of
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: my favorite podcasts. She does it with a good friend
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: of mine, Shary Shepherd, and it talks about single mom.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: It really started on the Tom Join the show and
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: it was doing so great. They decided to just take
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: it to another level. They just stopped. Tom, you might
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: be gone, but they ain't going nowhere. Talk about that
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: because we talked about that. When we're gonna different shot
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: what are we gonna do with y'all? That's our vote,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: which you don't know, it always goes up another level,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: shot down. Talk about your podcast that you don't Sharry Shepherd,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: why is it so popular? Oh my gosh, you know
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: man Shary Weird Comics were one time joining it together
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: and Sherry was like, let's do this podcast. And I
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: was like, I don't like doing the podcast. We have
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: so much other things too. She's like, it would be great.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: So Sherry put it together and I showed up. I
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: was like, so I didn't believe her. I was like,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: nobody's gonna want to hear us talk and too funny Mamas.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: We started U during the pandemic Oh Mother's Day, and
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: it has done very well. People love hearing us talk

• 52:22
  Speaker 1: What do we do? Uh, it's a lot of funny
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: and there's no like we don't since we since it's
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: since ourselves a little bit, but not really and we
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: just had fun. Like Sary did something, I got mad
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: at her. So we had a big old argument and
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: we want to get and aired it out right on
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the podcast. It's real life. Let's get over it. So
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: that was the whole thing. And now the podcast, it's
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: just it's just the one that's tied into Sheila l Yes,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: that's right, you know everything down. You know, it's so
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: funny because you know, she like my girl. And I
