  Speaker 1: what it takes to keep your family together over decades, right,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: because we do fall out with our families sometime, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it's really about how you how you stick together. It's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: really about how you support each other and the fact

  Speaker 1: that every family does it differently. You know, we have
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: one family that said, you know, our our mom didn't

• 5:09
  Speaker 1: ten o'clock on Own. That's Tuesday at ten pm. It's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: called Motherly Love by the producers of Black Love. Now
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: let's go to what made you guys famous? So what
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: made you too famous? Brought you into my world? Which
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: is even about bigger world for you guys black Love.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It says bigger, more couples, double the episodes, tell us
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: about it. You made history last year, so that's why
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you have that promoting, because you want to make more history.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Tell us about Black Love too. We are very very
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: excited about the second season. He's got a lot of
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: fans out to people, and we're able to just dig
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: into more themes than you did last year because we've
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: got eight episodes this time around. We'll get some awesome
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: couples who got strong. K Brown his wife ran that
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: day to Me and Grant Hill, l Hughesly and his
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: wife with Donna La Miller and she's to have it hold. Yeah,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: y'all just throwing these names out like these regular people
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: like it's meat. You know what I'm saying. You know
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: what they are. But here's there's there's the thing, you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and this is very intentional. Everybody on the show, you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: don't see profession you don't see the last name, you
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: don't see any of that because it's about the relationship.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It's not about what they accomplished professionally. And so once
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they're on the show, they are treated like anyone else.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: They're treated like every other couple. Like Godie and I,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: like another regular couple, were making it work. So we
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: have a mix, you know, we have celebrity couples and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: then we have everyday couples. And that's time you mentioned
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: we don't really differentiate. It's really just sharing a love
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: story and then sharing you know, their challenges, their highs
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and their loads. But having somebody like Sterling right and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: makes people want to watch and makes people like you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: want to talk to us. Awful. I have a little that,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you know, because it's different than the celebrity and the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: non celebrities that the celebrity lifestyles played out social media,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know, so you can avoid attention on whether it's
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: warranted or warranted where an everyday person lifestyles played out
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: in their own the world, but it's still played out
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: with the same issues, you know, getting along, finances, parenting
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and all and all those things are very important and
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that's what is the what let me just actually, what
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: do you think the secret is to the success of
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Black Love? You know, why people reacted and it's so
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: galvanized in the viewer to watch, So probably a couple
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of things. But one of the things you've mentioned about.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: You see the social media. You see these celebrities on
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: social media, but what you don't see is how they
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: actually make it work. You see the high the loads.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: You don't actually see their commitment day in and day
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: out until get a glimpse into that has been really sexual.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: But also, we don't as black folks, we don't have this.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: We don't have these positive examples of black people being
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: happy and marriage together on TV, not in not in
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: reality TV, not in documentaries, not in film or even TV.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: You know, for the longest, we had the copies, which
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: we don't actually have any more. Unfortunately, even and even then,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you know, it was it wasn't real, and so there's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: been this giant boyd that we just didn't have any
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: place to go to see these sorts of images. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: so I think if there's any secret to why this
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is worked, it's that yeah. Yeah, here's the thing though,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I'm talking on the phone with Oliver's Tommy and Cobody
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that Black Leve Debate is the most viewed unscripted series
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: in the history of their own network. The show guarder
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: in um in In Image Awards nomination for Outstanding Documentary
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and Television and Outstanding Directed in TV or Movie Special.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: So you you come out of the box. You didn't
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: expect this. You you just praying that you got on
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: TV because praying that the show. And when that happened
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and the way it happened, what did it do for
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: your careers? I would say the most interesting thing is
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that we never intentionally got into unscripted television. I mean,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it was kind of like we were just doing something
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: we really cared about. And having created this show, the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: next thing that happened is everyone was calling, take what
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: else do you have? Right? Theory grout and it was like, okay,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you know, we could do this right and That's that's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: really what it is all about, you know, because you
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: know we'll just be hustling. I always tell people as
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: an entrepreneur, because that's what you guys are, us two entrepreneurs.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You just happened to be entrepreneurs in the entertainment realm.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: It was just hustling for this one thing. And you
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: just never know what it's going to be your break,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: what it's going to be your moment, and when it
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: happens like it happens for you guys, you definitely got
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to get back to the creative side and say, look,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: let's put about some positive ideas that you know they
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: would read a longevity in this in this ward of
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: dry and It's so Black Love. Season two airs this
