Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome to the Spirited Actor Podcast with me
Tracy Moore. I was a casting director for film and
TV and commercials for over thirty years. I transition to
a celebrity acting coach after I cast a film New
Jersey Drive with executive producers Spike Lee and director Nick Thomas.
I audition every rapper from Biggias Balls to Tupac, and
(00:24):
I realized that rappers and musical artists they needed help
transitioning to acting. My clients consist of musical artists from
Buster Rhymes to Eve, Missy Elliott, Angela Ye from The
Breakfast Club, and Vanessa Simmons, to name a few. I
also coach sports stars and host as well. I feel
(00:45):
I have the best of both worlds. As a casting director,
I know exactly what they're looking for, and as an
acting coach, I can coach you to be remembered in
that room. Now I know, I know actors want to
get the job. I get that, but being remembered by
casting director that is powerful. And now it's time for
meditation of the day. I can't give you a recipe
(01:08):
for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure.
Try to please everybody frank Land Gellow. Today, I will
value myself. Why are we so obsessed with pleasing other people?
Too much time and energy is wasted on doing that.
Please yourself first, Save yourself first, Validate yourself first. If
(01:35):
people are not in your life that lift you up
and give you unconditional love without judgment, then why are
you wasting your time? Today? I will value my time
and my energy for myself. Before we get started, I'd
(01:57):
like to remind everyone to look out for my new show,
Inside the Black Box. I'll be co hosting with the
Great Joe Morton. Will be on Crackle Network real soon.
I'll keep you posted. Welcome to the Spirited Actor Podcast
with me Tracy Moore. You guys are in for an amazing,
amazing treat today. I am honored, I am thrilled. I'm
(02:21):
excited to introduce to you one of my favorite people
in the universe, Mr Jay Alexander, co creator Foo Boo.
And now because I'm a saying Foo Boo TV, you guys, Yes,
he streaming, he is in the business, and oh my god,
(02:42):
this is gonna be amazing, amazing, so I want to
talk to him about it. Jake. Welcome to the show.
Thank you so much, thanks for having me. I mean
we go way way wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait look, Jay, let me just tell you because we
were talking about patient, it's earlier you have been on
this journey now, as you know here thirteen years you said,
(03:05):
But truly, I'm sure it was perculating in your brain
long before that. Can let's start at the beginning. How
did Fubu start? How did all collectively, the four of
you get together? And those are you who don't know Fubou?
For you, by you, you need to do your homework
and do your due diligence because Jay is card fo
(03:26):
Bou is in the history not just hip hop, not
just fashion, but groundbreaking and creating their own for us.
So Jay, tell us how it began with you? All right? So, um,
how do I want to start? Because there's two different
journeys to be honest, Um, But then it all steers
(03:47):
off of what you just said, the fact that you
mean you need something for us. We need something for us.
We needed like I'm a type of guy if I
want something that I go out and get it and
it doesn't really matter how long it takes, but I'm
gonna get it. So you know, Fubu was a situation
in which, you know, Damon John, of course we all
know from Shark Tank. You got him to that that
(04:10):
this as well. Um, you tried to get me there,
but I didn't go. I did. It was a different route.
But like that later, I'm not We're talking about that later, definitely.
But the thing was, you know, we didn't have anything
that was pretty much for us, and um, you know
a lot of the designers or quote unquote lines that
were out at the time, you know, didn't oh actually
(04:33):
to say, I didn't feel that they wanted us in
their clothing. So we had to make something for us.
So fast forward to me coming home from the military.
Damon John of course, uh, you know Mr shark Tank
was creating a hat. He made a hat and I
saw the hat and I was like, yo, listen, I'm
going to fashion school and I have some money. Let
(04:54):
me give this to you and let's create. Let's go.
And he was looking at me like, of course I
had five head and six arms, because it's like, well,
how could we make a line? And I'm like, well
we can. I'm gonna do it. And you know, fast
forward to thirty years Acts of last last week we
can have there's thirty years and the years anniversary and
(05:17):
you know we're still here. You know, one of the
things that I admire about you when I first met
you and just having conversations is that your bravery almost
like any means necessary. Because prior to me meeting you, guys,
I heard all the stories. I was my husband at
the time in the early eighties manage utfo full force
(05:39):
Lessin called Jim and sherwe Pepsi Riley, So I was
around the Russell Simmons and you know Green Street studios
and stuff. I did not know, but friends of mine
reminded me how you guys in terms of hustling, would
go to like video shoots or in the studio with
your clothes to have these celebrities where and endorse it
(06:00):
for you. And if I'm correct, L L Cool J
was the first person that wore yes yes, um, I
mean there was a lot of other people that wore it.
I just say proper, but he was personally our first
like official spokesperson. And again he lived in our neighborhood.
You know, we grew up with them Damon and had
a relationship with him. I had a relationship with him
in a different way. And funny story is l L's
(06:24):
best friend that wasn't a rap group. This is some
stuff that nobody knows. Was the rap group? Right? And
so l L's best friend brother was my best friend
and we were in a rap group. Wow. And l
L would come and see me, you know, see me
(06:46):
there whatever, o kid, and he would help me, you know,
figure out how to rap. Again, I didn't take it on.
I didn't know another route in the end, but I
could have. I would have been a rapper if I
would have stuck to it. But ll with all it
had he left the group for a solo career career. Wow.
(07:10):
So how challenging because the other thing that you said
that you never give up in the beginning where there
weren't a lot of people that look like us, how
challenging were you know, getting the meetings or getting I'm
not an expert in the fashion industry, but I'm assuming
you have to get the clothes made somewhere, you know,
(07:32):
and and the fabric. How challenging was it for a
person of color at that time to navigate through all
of that? Well, uh, you know, it was very challenging
because again, you know, they don't look at us walking
into the room, you know, and we walk into the room,
they don't really give us that, you know, even for us.
For us, they don't let us walk into the room
(07:55):
as well. I mean it's not just, you know, on
one side, it's on all sides. Right. I came up
with a term of a phrase, I should say, dress
how you want to be addressed? Right, So that's brilliant.
Dressed how you want to be addressed? Correct? And how
(08:15):
it went was I had six thousand dollars when I
got out of the military. I gave five thousand and
I kept thousand, and I bought clothes because again, how
you want to be addressed? Because I walked into the
room as me like this, and it's like, uh, they
(08:36):
didn't take you seriously. So then they had to box
flat in the jacket. And then I would go there
with that one slacks and one jacket, and I would
go to a meeting or go to manufacturer, and then
they would get they would least somewhat treat me a
little better until we had to break down the door
and do what we did in six billion dollars and
sales over thirty years, good God, I'll be that there.
(09:01):
So now they're breaking down your door to get to you,
you know. I mean I think that the thing about
you is your resilience, Like just because they told you know,
you found a different way, and yeah, if you came
in with a suit, there's a whole different air about it.
I remember when Full Force was, you know, at Leasta
had a hit and they were talking to different designers
(09:24):
at the time for you know, their wardrobe, and I
remember Tommy Hill Figure approached them. But when I found
out is that Tommy Hill Figure and like all of
these other big designers had clothes that were specifically geared
for our community. But then they had these elite shops
(09:44):
you know on Battison or stuff that didn't service us.
And then I just remember at that time that Full
Force and U t FO, you know, we're very adamant
about like, well, you know, we wear your close. We
you know, we helped them build pretty much a demographic
right that they didn't have. But yet we're not invited
(10:07):
to where the real clothes are. You know, I don't
know how they defined it right, no, exactly exactly, And
I think over the years, what what is it? I
think David Dash calls it a culture vulture. M m yea.
I will give him some of praise and respect as
far as Tommy because again he yes, that did happen.
(10:29):
But for him, I'm gonna give him somewhat of the
past because his brother More Solum would be actually out
there in the mix at the parties talking and trying
to at least make it seem better, you know what
I mean. You know so, so I'm gonna give him that.
(10:51):
But yes, that was a true story in respect because
you know, we even with timberland Fill a bunch of brands,
they didn't care. They just like, oh, we want your money,
but we don't want you there wow, and we want
your followup. I mean back then we didn't have the
social media. But you know, if you got an article
in essence or you were in Jet right on or Source,
(11:12):
all of that that was gonna. I used to love.
Maybe it was both source and vibe where you guys
had the act. So yeah, oh he's a love foo
woo adds man and just how you know, like I said,
you guys are groundbreaking. Do you feel that there have
been changes in the fashion industry for black and people
of color to expand in their brands. Well, to be honest,
(11:36):
it was a change. And I should say, like you
know the days of like the Magic Throws uh and
things like that, you know, big conventions and we would
have basically took over, you know, the whole industry. And
I think, uh, there was a second transition, and that
was the way great Wave where there was just tons
of tons of tons of influencing, tons of tons of
(11:57):
talent that came out and had lines and we would
make it a lot of money and doing a lot
of great things. And then it transitioned into skate. You know,
the powers that be were like, wow, you know these guys,
it's just too much, like how can we get in?
Like we you know, So it it turned from just
like when music, it will turn from you know, hardcore wrap,
you will go to you know almost like m R
(12:20):
and B rap, and then from R and B rap
it will go to trap and then just transition. And
I think right now it's such a transition. I think
it's sort of slowly going to transition out of like
right now, I would assume it's it's more how do
I say this, a more um more rock. If you
look at a rapper today, they looked more like roll
(12:42):
the water in this like look to the crowd, crowd,
that's that's right, right. And if you wrap concert, if
it is Caucasian m m. Yeah, you see these big crowds,
the only black person is the guile stage. Yeah. But
you know what when I because when I first came here,
(13:05):
it was the era of run DMC. Literally, I got
off the plane, my girlfriend was being managed by Russell Simmons.
I went to Greenstreet Studio and run DMC was sitting
on the couch and they were like, you know, they
knew I was California and they were like, do you
know rap? And I was like, yeah, sugar Hill Gang
and was like that ain't no rap. And they were
(13:25):
like it's like that if my face right, And I
was like yours very aggressive, very aggressive. Um. But there was,
like you said, the changing and the trends, which only
makes sense because even though your empire is the fashion industry,
it drew entertainers to you. Where did this thought occur
(13:50):
to you that having a platform of a streaming network.
I mean you were already globally anyway, but you know,
I feel like there's a way in which and I
don't know this. This is just in my mind that
it's such a great platform to just continue to brand Fooboo,
you know, like the commercials baby, you know, but at
(14:13):
the same time you are creating content. Can you explain
to us what Fooboo TV is about? Okay, so now
I'm going to correct you and okay, so originally, yes,
it was called foodbu TV. When I first started about
thirteen years ago. And now give you a backstory. A
(14:34):
gentleman walked into my office and said, hey, I have
something called v O d v O D channels. And
it was at the same time when Damon just got
on television, and at that time reality TV was just
really starting and brewing, and they were looking for well
supposedly they were looking for people that were specialists in
(14:54):
their fields, right, but had little charism. I had little style,
had little something and that can you know speak, you know,
speak well, and Damon, you know, jumped in and he
was I mean aggressive of course, shark tank, Oh my god,
this is birth take the black mans out there, Oh
my god, like he was doing it. So every time
(15:16):
I tried to go off and get on the show,
I would get yeah, great, but is Damon gonna come on,
and I was like, man, I just can't. I can't
get out of his way. I couldn't get out. I'm like, ah,
So then I said, now back back to the story
of So a guy walked in my office and was like, hey, listen,
(15:38):
you know, I know you're trying to get on TV
and trying to do it, but what if you own
your own network? And I was like it almost was
the same, parallel to the point where I, why don't
we just start our online? Did you do that? So
he gave me two I guess two outlets. One was
(16:00):
on Verizon. So I started creating content and putting up
and I kept saying to myself for all those years,
this is no disuspect. That's my partners. I love him,
that's my g I kept saying in a competitive way.
If Damon walked into the room and they say, oh,
you know what, he's on the show. But if I
(16:21):
walked in the room and somebody said, well, now he
goes to network, ship is different. Yes. I kept putting
that ship in my head and I'm like, he's kept
begging me. I kept going, going, going, going, going, And
again thirteen years later, I'm here, right What is so
amazing is the fact that you come from a place
(16:42):
of power, right. I used to always tell in the
beginning when I started, when I first started working with
my celebrity clients, I used to say to them, you know,
doing these roles is cute, but let's own something because
what you have jay priceless. Your relationship. You can call
anybody up and say, I'm doing this project, you know,
(17:06):
maybe attached them whatever that positioned you because Sony, MGM, Universal,
they can't do that, even though the value of those
studios matter. But your relationships are powerful and you can't
put a price on that. What do you want to
accomplish through your network? Because we have multi hyphenated people
(17:30):
who listen to this show who are actors but also writers, producers, directors,
I myself want to know, but what are you looking
for that we can help to? You know, of course,
sit through the ones that you know are value. Well, well,
I'm gonna say this, and it's it's all in the messages.
All in the name UM again originally was called Fubu
(17:54):
and then um I change the name to Force by
Us because by us is actually took on a whole
another meeting to where you know food who didn't you know,
actually Google, I don't want to say stopped for as
Biases took on and kept going like it belongs to
the culture. So again, if I could have a vehicle
which you know the people speak or us we speak
(18:16):
through television and through a vehicle and through a vessel
that streaming, that I can have you know, content from
all walks of life, people from all life, stories from
all walks of life, project you know what we're feeling,
who we are, and give a definition and a whole
two to us. Again, you know, for as Bias, the
(18:41):
name is just not even it's not again. I always say,
you know, dorough interviews that it's not mine. This is
not what I'm doing. I'm doing it, you know, through
some grace you know upstairs that just says, okay, fine,
I'm gonna put you in a place where you can
have give people, like I said, a vehicle to get
there work out. You know again, those big studios, it's
(19:03):
like they're gonna sit down and go, oh, I like this,
but then why don't you change this character here? And
why don't you just this, and why don't you just that?
You know, um as a joke. Um, what's his name?
He's in jail right now. I shouldn't they exactly if
you won't want, you know, someone all opinion videos you know,
(19:23):
come to death row right, not well, if you don't
want all that come first. The reason why I'm so
excited and I've been reading all the articles that have
been coming out about your network is because you're providing
opportunities for people who may not ever have a platform
like that, because of like you said, how the studios
(19:44):
go through and cipher through your stuff and you know, etcetera, etcetera.
I just think that I know it's already a success
because people have been talking about it, people that you've
been talking, myself and other people, and now it's here.
It's like, you know, we just we want to see
what's gonna be on the network. And then also you know,
we have our own projects that we want to pitch,
(20:06):
you know. So you know what's funny, let me throw
a point out. I know you're saying something, but let
me let me say no. Sometimes we as people walk
in the direction right and we take the goal over
the direction hm, And I notice is gonna sound really
crazy and weird, but my goal at back then was
(20:29):
oh my god, I just want to be on TV.
But that wasn't my that wasn't the right direction. I
was supposed to be done with it, you know what
I mean. So we get caught up looking at the hype. Right.
We brought up looking at, you know how, the shiny object,
but we don't really think about how that ship got shiny. Right.
So sometimes we this is Spirited Actor podcast. But sometimes
(20:52):
somebody's like, I want to be active, why because they
saw somebody they're famous. Sometimes it's not even about that.
Sometimes you're supposed to be doing something else in that field. Maybe, right,
I've tried my darndest to get on a show. Yeah,
now I can be on any show I want. I'll
(21:12):
be opening it up, right. So sometimes you just gotta
really simple and reflect on what you're supposed to really
be doing. You know, you got a natural need ability
to do a B and seven. Fine, I gotta natural
b ability to keep going. Yeah, now I can give
people a push and another direction. I mean, you might
(21:33):
have some people on this like you know what, like
someone who comes to me and say, oh I want
my show, I have my show on this kind of
showing you I'm like and they got like five six,
seven movies or this. I'm like, why you you know what,
I don't want yours? Don't start home? Yeah, don't don't
come me with you with your good stuff. Don't. Right,
(21:54):
But that's the wisdom that you're dropping with the audience
that we don't have to rely on other people for
our success. And I love the way you just took
the power in the fashion and now what I feel
like when I first read the article, this was a
couple of weeks ago, I said, Jay is about to
discover some more Ryan Coogler's some more writers like you.
(22:17):
This is like an incubator of all this new talent.
And then at any given time another conglomerate can come
to you and say partner, share whatever. But I love
the fact that you're so committed to the community and
to us, because we don't get these opportunities. And you know,
(22:39):
my show Inside the Black Box was an eighteen year journey.
It just wasn't time, but the timing right now. Every day,
ja I save articles of the first black woman yesterday
who owns They talked about her bank. She is the
first black woman who's ever owned a bank. Pilots winery.
(23:03):
Every day there's the first black something. So I feel
like we're in this war tex right now of black
power of black because you know we're in two I'm
exhausted every day being black, just living and being my
every day. And you know, the other day here in
this young man who got shot in the head and
(23:25):
you know he survived Africa, Congo, only to come here
to be shot in the head by the police. Every
single day there's something. But for me, the positive is
someone like you creating this platform and knowing that authentically
our stories are going to be told without changing the
history or protecting culturally people you know because they're fragile
(23:49):
or whatever. Laws the laws against doing what I'm doing.
To be honest, now there's laws in with Florida. Yes, yes,
do this, you can't do it fingers, middle fingers. And
that's what I love you. Just redegate, like that's what
I'm saying by antbs that say Jay doesn't care. I
would be sitting here all this sometime I don't even
(24:11):
really beginning, and you would tell me things that you
would do. I never dabted you go do it. I
was just like I have to just bless Jay because
you don't care, you don't care what you're gonna say.
It's like they're like, no, no, no, all you hear
is yes, yes, yes, it could be done. I'll do
it myself. Like you know, we have three minutes, Jay,
this has been an amazing, amazing interview. Can you just
(24:34):
whatever jewels you want to drop on these actors? And
we don't just have an audience of actors, we have
a mixed audience. Can you just give them some advice
in terms of being on a journey and the patience
on the journey. You know, it's funny, this is sticking
with patients part. I'm gonna say this. There's a term
that I use, and I use it very wisely and
(24:55):
sparingly because I think sometimes people need to hear it
and sometimes people well won't get it. So I'll say
it on this platform. Think of your work as a slingshot.
You pull it back. Its tension. Yeah, it's tension. Put
it back, it's tension. Pull it back, it's tension. You
(25:16):
put it back back, back back, back, back, back back back.
That's the journey. So when you're ready, you let go.
I think how far you go? M This is why
I was excited and knew that this was going to
be great for you guys. Exactly Boom, there is drop
(25:38):
the mic. Jay, Like, I have had the pleasure of
knowing you for are trillion years and I look forward
to this new chapter and a more cretrillion years. But
when I first met you, I was like, you need
to be on TV because you're crazy here a lot
of fun and your talent and and again, like you said,
(25:59):
I didn't work for me. Yeah, well I don't want
to say that, Jay. I don't want to say that
because I'm transitioning into directing. And so if I ever
have something that looks like Jay Alexander, I'm calling you out.
I don't care what you say, I don't care what
your people say. You gotta give me a couple hours
to shoot this. Yeah, I'll coach you, but because I
know that, But but did here you go? Now we're
(26:21):
gonna we're gonna bring it full forward. Right. It didn't
work for me then, but I kept in the business
and now you may say, hey, listen, I forgot something
for you, and it was something. Now, Oh my god,
you know he's the best actor ever. It takes time.
You gotta just keep going today, might have might be today, Tomorrow,
I'll be today. But if you brushed to have another day,
(26:43):
then you've got another chance. Ladies and gentlemen, I want
you to stand up and put your hands together for
j Alexander Martin, and I want all of us were
going to support for US by US Network. We're going

music plays in the background. Natasha Naturally Beautiful sits at
the table, tapping her fingers to the music. A large
diamond rock rests on it. Her phone buzzes, and she
(28:34):
immediately taps her earbuds. I've been waiting here for thirty
three minutes. Are you on your way at White Oh? Byron?
I thought you would court me, she called me, needing
to talk important. I know the history you have with

I love you too. Natasha stares across the table at
a disheveled Courtney, I'm so sorry. I got stuck on
the f train. Then I jumped off and took a cab.
The cab driver tells me as we are coming off
the bridge that he can only take me across the bridge.
I was like, why didn't you tell me that? When
I got in, he said he just got a call.
(29:45):
I jumped in another cap and here I am. Oh,
and he didn't even charge me. Can you ever show
up drama free and with a fully charged phone? You know,
never mind, Just get a glass of water, take a breath,

like face timing the way that brings over a glass
of water with a slice of lemon in it. Cortney
picks up the glass and inhales the aroma a shoulders
dry and she seems to ease. Thank you. You always
have a way of common things down and making them
seeing not as big as they really are. Is this

after five minutes, you know in your heart. I can't
explain it. I know. Do you know what he's like
when there's a tragedy or an emergency, or what about
when he's unemployed? No, but that's how we're going to
grow together. We'll learn about these things. Yeah, are you
(31:16):
really in love or the idea of it? I don't
like this conversation. Why do you have to get married
right away? Like you guys are young to be engaged
for a year. This is a decision for the rest
of your life. Natasha is at a loss for words.
(31:43):
If I knew something, would you want to know? Yes, yes,
I would want to know. I think Bryson is cheating
on you. I ran into Bryson that bad Bath and
(32:07):
Beyond last week, and I went up to him and
he was a little Mexicist. Maybe you called him off guard. No, No,
I didn't speak long enough because I felt how uncomfortable
he was. I've ducked behind it out and he looked
that I had left. Then a woman approached him and
(32:29):
gave him a big hug and a loppy kiss. How
sloppy like familiar? Sloppy? Natasha stairs of her Ring something
clicks in her. Are you sure you didn't see? No?
(32:50):
Why because he asked me to call him after and
don't trust to you because of our our history. How
convenient I need you to turn on your blood. I
(33:11):
have no reason to lie. When you get home, ask him,
ask him if there's anything that he wants to tell you.
It's up to him to be honest with you. And
this is the rest of your life. My heart is
saying this isn't happening, but my head is saying, this
(33:33):
explains it all. M hm. There was a child about
three years old. He has a trial. He told me
it was his niece. I've seen tons of pictures in
his house. Mhm. I have to talk to him. Maybe
(33:58):
you should gather your thoughts for first. Natasha smiles and
touches her hand. Something in my soul was unsettled. I
knew something just in denial. Natasha turns to leave, but
(34:22):
she stops and hugs Courtney first. See, okay, I'm gonna
throw it to you, j whatever feedback notes you want
to give them. I don't have no I sat there
in my head. I'm sitting there closing my eyes, and
my eyes are open, but I was sitting there listening
and I'm like, i feel like I'm watching something and
(34:43):
hearing something and I'm like, wow, this is this is
like wow. I'm like I'm watching it and I'm seeing
it and I'm but it's not not even here like beautiful.
I think this is the first time in the Spirited
Entre podcast history we had no notes the first time,
(35:06):
you guys, that's what I'm easy. Well, I have to
say I'm so happy that you enjoyed it because the
purpose of classic Session is to showcase our talent to
powers to be like you. So thank you, Jay, That's
so cool. Thank you well. Once again, ladies and gentlemen,
I want you to stand up and I want you
(35:26):
to support for us by US Network TV. J Alexander
Martin is getting ready to change the scope of everything
and we have a home. We really have a home,
ladies and gentlemen, Chancing. Thank you so much Jay for
us by us You'll I gotta find some parts for
(35:50):
these young ladies. Thank you. I received a lot of
blessing Jay God, and we will be back, ladies and
gentlemen with the Spirited Active Podcast with me Tracy Moore.
I'm gonna give you some love. That's what I'm gonna do.
Give you a love, and now it's time to give love.
(36:11):
As I grow older and wiser in my life, I
understand why my grandparents didn't care about what people said.
I understand that as you continue to grow at different milestones,
right like thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, and beyond as you
become forty, my experience was embracing no for the first
(36:36):
time in my life. I told people know, I turned
down jobs. I was an available, certain thing that was empowered.
In my fifties, I really got to a point where
I really didn't care what people thought. I don't have
time to cipher through all of my relationships and think
about what people are saying and what they're doing. I
(36:57):
don't have time for that. And I'm gonna tell you
that my new mile stone when I tell you I
do not care, I don't care because I don't have
time to make everyone happy and do everything that everyone
wants me to do to please that I had learned
(37:18):
in this specific milestone to please Tracy first, and then
all the love and sprinkled us and rainbow and butterflies
continues to flutter around in my life. The positive energy
that I have continues to grow when I go with it.
(37:40):
Don't forget to look out for us on our new show,
Inside the black Box. My co host will be Joe
the Legend Morton. It's going to be The Spirited Actor
Podcast on Steroids. Will be streaming on the Crackle network.
I'll keep you posted. Thank you for joining us on
the Spirited Actor Podcast with me Tracy Moore. I look
(38:02):
forward to our next Spirited Podcast. Thank you.
Hello, and welcome to the Spirited Actor Podcast with me
Tracy Moore. I was a casting director for film and
TV and commercials for over thirty years. I transition to
a celebrity acting coach after I cast a film New
Jersey Drive with executive producers Spike Lee and director Nick Thomas.
I audition every rapper from Biggias Balls to Tupac, and
(00:24):
I realized that rappers and musical artists they needed help
transitioning to acting. My clients consist of musical artists from
Buster Rhymes to Eve, Missy Elliott, Angela Ye from The
Breakfast Club, and Vanessa Simmons, to name a few. I
also coach sports stars and host as well. I feel
(00:45):
I have the best of both worlds. As a casting director,
I know exactly what they're looking for, and as an
acting coach, I can coach you to be remembered in
that room. Now I know, I know actors want to
get the job. I get that, but being remembered by
casting director that is powerful. And now it's time for
meditation of the day. I can't give you a recipe
(01:08):
for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure.
Try to please everybody frank Land Gellow. Today, I will
value myself. Why are we so obsessed with pleasing other people?
Too much time and energy is wasted on doing that.
Please yourself first, Save yourself first, Validate yourself first. If
(01:35):
people are not in your life that lift you up
and give you unconditional love without judgment, then why are
you wasting your time? Today? I will value my time
and my energy for myself. Before we get started, I'd
(01:57):
like to remind everyone to look out for my new show,
Inside the Black Box. I'll be co hosting with the
Great Joe Morton. Will be on Crackle Network real soon.
I'll keep you posted. Welcome to the Spirited Actor Podcast
with me Tracy Moore. You guys are in for an amazing,
amazing treat today. I am honored, I am thrilled. I'm
(02:21):
excited to introduce to you one of my favorite people
in the universe, Mr Jay Alexander, co creator Foo Boo.
And now because I'm a saying Foo Boo TV, you guys, Yes,
he streaming, he is in the business, and oh my god,
(02:42):
this is gonna be amazing, amazing, so I want to
talk to him about it. Jake. Welcome to the show.
Thank you so much, thanks for having me. I mean
we go way way wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait look, Jay, let me just tell you because we
were talking about patient, it's earlier you have been on
this journey now, as you know here thirteen years you said,
(03:05):
But truly, I'm sure it was perculating in your brain
long before that. Can let's start at the beginning. How
did Fubu start? How did all collectively, the four of
you get together? And those are you who don't know Fubou?
For you, by you, you need to do your homework
and do your due diligence because Jay is card fo
(03:26):
Bou is in the history not just hip hop, not
just fashion, but groundbreaking and creating their own for us.
So Jay, tell us how it began with you? All right? So, um,
how do I want to start? Because there's two different
journeys to be honest, Um, But then it all steers
(03:47):
off of what you just said, the fact that you
mean you need something for us. We need something for us.
We needed like I'm a type of guy if I
want something that I go out and get it and
it doesn't really matter how long it takes, but I'm
gonna get it. So you know, Fubu was a situation
in which, you know, Damon John, of course we all
know from Shark Tank. You got him to that that
(04:10):
this as well. Um, you tried to get me there,
but I didn't go. I did. It was a different route.
But like that later, I'm not We're talking about that later, definitely.
But the thing was, you know, we didn't have anything
that was pretty much for us, and um, you know
a lot of the designers or quote unquote lines that
were out at the time, you know, didn't oh actually
(04:33):
to say, I didn't feel that they wanted us in
their clothing. So we had to make something for us.
So fast forward to me coming home from the military.
Damon John of course, uh, you know Mr shark Tank
was creating a hat. He made a hat and I
saw the hat and I was like, yo, listen, I'm
going to fashion school and I have some money. Let
(04:54):
me give this to you and let's create. Let's go.
And he was looking at me like, of course I
had five head and six arms, because it's like, well,
how could we make a line? And I'm like, well
we can. I'm gonna do it. And you know, fast
forward to thirty years Acts of last last week we
can have there's thirty years and the years anniversary and
(05:17):
you know we're still here. You know, one of the
things that I admire about you when I first met
you and just having conversations is that your bravery almost
like any means necessary. Because prior to me meeting you, guys,
I heard all the stories. I was my husband at
the time in the early eighties manage utfo full force
(05:39):
Lessin called Jim and sherwe Pepsi Riley, So I was
around the Russell Simmons and you know Green Street studios
and stuff. I did not know, but friends of mine
reminded me how you guys in terms of hustling, would
go to like video shoots or in the studio with
your clothes to have these celebrities where and endorse it
(06:00):
for you. And if I'm correct, L L Cool J
was the first person that wore yes yes, um, I
mean there was a lot of other people that wore it.
I just say proper, but he was personally our first
like official spokesperson. And again he lived in our neighborhood.
You know, we grew up with them Damon and had
a relationship with him. I had a relationship with him
in a different way. And funny story is l L's
(06:24):
best friend that wasn't a rap group. This is some
stuff that nobody knows. Was the rap group? Right? And
so l L's best friend brother was my best friend
and we were in a rap group. Wow. And l
L would come and see me, you know, see me
(06:46):
there whatever, o kid, and he would help me, you know,
figure out how to rap. Again, I didn't take it on.
I didn't know another route in the end, but I
could have. I would have been a rapper if I
would have stuck to it. But ll with all it
had he left the group for a solo career career. Wow.
(07:10):
So how challenging because the other thing that you said
that you never give up in the beginning where there
weren't a lot of people that look like us, how
challenging were you know, getting the meetings or getting I'm
not an expert in the fashion industry, but I'm assuming
you have to get the clothes made somewhere, you know,
(07:32):
and and the fabric. How challenging was it for a
person of color at that time to navigate through all
of that? Well, uh, you know, it was very challenging
because again, you know, they don't look at us walking
into the room, you know, and we walk into the room,
they don't really give us that, you know, even for us.
For us, they don't let us walk into the room
(07:55):
as well. I mean it's not just, you know, on
one side, it's on all sides. Right. I came up
with a term of a phrase, I should say, dress
how you want to be addressed? Right, So that's brilliant.
Dressed how you want to be addressed? Correct? And how
(08:15):
it went was I had six thousand dollars when I
got out of the military. I gave five thousand and
I kept thousand, and I bought clothes because again, how
you want to be addressed? Because I walked into the
room as me like this, and it's like, uh, they
(08:36):
didn't take you seriously. So then they had to box
flat in the jacket. And then I would go there
with that one slacks and one jacket, and I would
go to a meeting or go to manufacturer, and then
they would get they would least somewhat treat me a
little better until we had to break down the door
and do what we did in six billion dollars and
sales over thirty years, good God, I'll be that there.
(09:01):
So now they're breaking down your door to get to you,
you know. I mean I think that the thing about
you is your resilience, Like just because they told you know,
you found a different way, and yeah, if you came
in with a suit, there's a whole different air about it.
I remember when Full Force was, you know, at Leasta
had a hit and they were talking to different designers
(09:24):
at the time for you know, their wardrobe, and I
remember Tommy Hill Figure approached them. But when I found
out is that Tommy Hill Figure and like all of
these other big designers had clothes that were specifically geared
for our community. But then they had these elite shops
(09:44):
you know on Battison or stuff that didn't service us.
And then I just remember at that time that Full
Force and U t FO, you know, we're very adamant
about like, well, you know, we wear your close. We
you know, we helped them build pretty much a demographic
right that they didn't have. But yet we're not invited
(10:07):
to where the real clothes are. You know, I don't
know how they defined it right, no, exactly exactly, And
I think over the years, what what is it? I
think David Dash calls it a culture vulture. M m yea.
I will give him some of praise and respect as
far as Tommy because again he yes, that did happen.
(10:29):
But for him, I'm gonna give him somewhat of the
past because his brother More Solum would be actually out
there in the mix at the parties talking and trying
to at least make it seem better, you know what
I mean. You know so, so I'm gonna give him that.
(10:51):
But yes, that was a true story in respect because
you know, we even with timberland Fill a bunch of brands,
they didn't care. They just like, oh, we want your money,
but we don't want you there wow, and we want
your followup. I mean back then we didn't have the
social media. But you know, if you got an article
in essence or you were in Jet right on or Source,
(11:12):
all of that that was gonna. I used to love.
Maybe it was both source and vibe where you guys
had the act. So yeah, oh he's a love foo
woo adds man and just how you know, like I said,
you guys are groundbreaking. Do you feel that there have
been changes in the fashion industry for black and people
of color to expand in their brands. Well, to be honest,
(11:36):
it was a change. And I should say, like you
know the days of like the Magic Throws uh and
things like that, you know, big conventions and we would
have basically took over, you know, the whole industry. And
I think, uh, there was a second transition, and that
was the way great Wave where there was just tons
of tons of tons of influencing, tons of tons of
(11:57):
talent that came out and had lines and we would
make it a lot of money and doing a lot
of great things. And then it transitioned into skate. You know,
the powers that be were like, wow, you know these guys,
it's just too much, like how can we get in?
Like we you know, So it it turned from just
like when music, it will turn from you know, hardcore wrap,
you will go to you know almost like m R
(12:20):
and B rap, and then from R and B rap
it will go to trap and then just transition. And
I think right now it's such a transition. I think
it's sort of slowly going to transition out of like
right now, I would assume it's it's more how do
I say this, a more um more rock. If you
look at a rapper today, they looked more like roll
(12:42):
the water in this like look to the crowd, crowd,
that's that's right, right. And if you wrap concert, if
it is Caucasian m m. Yeah, you see these big crowds,
the only black person is the guile stage. Yeah. But
you know what when I because when I first came here,
(13:05):
it was the era of run DMC. Literally, I got
off the plane, my girlfriend was being managed by Russell Simmons.
I went to Greenstreet Studio and run DMC was sitting
on the couch and they were like, you know, they
knew I was California and they were like, do you
know rap? And I was like, yeah, sugar Hill Gang
and was like that ain't no rap. And they were
(13:25):
like it's like that if my face right, And I
was like yours very aggressive, very aggressive. Um. But there was,
like you said, the changing and the trends, which only
makes sense because even though your empire is the fashion industry,
it drew entertainers to you. Where did this thought occur
(13:50):
to you that having a platform of a streaming network.
I mean you were already globally anyway, but you know,
I feel like there's a way in which and I
don't know this. This is just in my mind that
it's such a great platform to just continue to brand Fooboo,
you know, like the commercials baby, you know, but at
(14:13):
the same time you are creating content. Can you explain
to us what Fooboo TV is about? Okay, so now
I'm going to correct you and okay, so originally, yes,
it was called foodbu TV. When I first started about
thirteen years ago. And now give you a backstory. A
(14:34):
gentleman walked into my office and said, hey, I have
something called v O d v O D channels. And
it was at the same time when Damon just got
on television, and at that time reality TV was just
really starting and brewing, and they were looking for well
supposedly they were looking for people that were specialists in
(14:54):
their fields, right, but had little charism. I had little style,
had little something and that can you know speak, you know,
speak well, and Damon, you know, jumped in and he
was I mean aggressive of course, shark tank, Oh my god,
this is birth take the black mans out there, Oh
my god, like he was doing it. So every time
(15:16):
I tried to go off and get on the show,
I would get yeah, great, but is Damon gonna come on,
and I was like, man, I just can't. I can't
get out of his way. I couldn't get out. I'm like, ah,
So then I said, now back back to the story
of So a guy walked in my office and was like, hey, listen,
(15:38):
you know, I know you're trying to get on TV
and trying to do it, but what if you own
your own network? And I was like it almost was
the same, parallel to the point where I, why don't
we just start our online? Did you do that? So
he gave me two I guess two outlets. One was
(16:00):
on Verizon. So I started creating content and putting up
and I kept saying to myself for all those years,
this is no disuspect. That's my partners. I love him,
that's my g I kept saying in a competitive way.
If Damon walked into the room and they say, oh,
you know what, he's on the show. But if I
(16:21):
walked in the room and somebody said, well, now he
goes to network, ship is different. Yes. I kept putting
that ship in my head and I'm like, he's kept
begging me. I kept going, going, going, going, going, And
again thirteen years later, I'm here, right What is so
amazing is the fact that you come from a place
(16:42):
of power, right. I used to always tell in the
beginning when I started, when I first started working with
my celebrity clients, I used to say to them, you know,
doing these roles is cute, but let's own something because
what you have jay priceless. Your relationship. You can call
anybody up and say, I'm doing this project, you know,
(17:06):
maybe attached them whatever that positioned you because Sony, MGM, Universal,
they can't do that, even though the value of those
studios matter. But your relationships are powerful and you can't
put a price on that. What do you want to
accomplish through your network? Because we have multi hyphenated people
(17:30):
who listen to this show who are actors but also writers, producers, directors,
I myself want to know, but what are you looking
for that we can help to? You know, of course,
sit through the ones that you know are value. Well, well,
I'm gonna say this, and it's it's all in the messages.
All in the name UM again originally was called Fubu
(17:54):
and then um I change the name to Force by
Us because by us is actually took on a whole
another meeting to where you know food who didn't you know,
actually Google, I don't want to say stopped for as
Biases took on and kept going like it belongs to
the culture. So again, if I could have a vehicle
which you know the people speak or us we speak
(18:16):
through television and through a vehicle and through a vessel
that streaming, that I can have you know, content from
all walks of life, people from all life, stories from
all walks of life, project you know what we're feeling,
who we are, and give a definition and a whole
two to us. Again, you know, for as Bias, the
(18:41):
name is just not even it's not again. I always say,
you know, dorough interviews that it's not mine. This is
not what I'm doing. I'm doing it, you know, through
some grace you know upstairs that just says, okay, fine,
I'm gonna put you in a place where you can
have give people, like I said, a vehicle to get
there work out. You know again, those big studios, it's
(19:03):
like they're gonna sit down and go, oh, I like this,
but then why don't you change this character here? And
why don't you just this, and why don't you just that?
You know, um as a joke. Um, what's his name?
He's in jail right now. I shouldn't they exactly if
you won't want, you know, someone all opinion videos you know,
(19:23):
come to death row right, not well, if you don't
want all that come first. The reason why I'm so
excited and I've been reading all the articles that have
been coming out about your network is because you're providing
opportunities for people who may not ever have a platform
like that, because of like you said, how the studios
(19:44):
go through and cipher through your stuff and you know, etcetera, etcetera.
I just think that I know it's already a success
because people have been talking about it, people that you've
been talking, myself and other people, and now it's here.
It's like, you know, we just we want to see
what's gonna be on the network. And then also you know,
we have our own projects that we want to pitch,
(20:06):
you know. So you know what's funny, let me throw
a point out. I know you're saying something, but let
me let me say no. Sometimes we as people walk
in the direction right and we take the goal over
the direction hm, And I notice is gonna sound really
crazy and weird, but my goal at back then was
(20:29):
oh my god, I just want to be on TV.
But that wasn't my that wasn't the right direction. I
was supposed to be done with it, you know what
I mean. So we get caught up looking at the hype. Right.
We brought up looking at, you know how, the shiny object,
but we don't really think about how that ship got shiny. Right.
So sometimes we this is Spirited Actor podcast. But sometimes
(20:52):
somebody's like, I want to be active, why because they
saw somebody they're famous. Sometimes it's not even about that.
Sometimes you're supposed to be doing something else in that field. Maybe, right,
I've tried my darndest to get on a show. Yeah,
now I can be on any show I want. I'll
(21:12):
be opening it up, right. So sometimes you just gotta
really simple and reflect on what you're supposed to really
be doing. You know, you got a natural need ability
to do a B and seven. Fine, I gotta natural
b ability to keep going. Yeah, now I can give
people a push and another direction. I mean, you might
(21:33):
have some people on this like you know what, like
someone who comes to me and say, oh I want
my show, I have my show on this kind of
showing you I'm like and they got like five six,
seven movies or this. I'm like, why you you know what,
I don't want yours? Don't start home? Yeah, don't don't
come me with you with your good stuff. Don't. Right,
(21:54):
But that's the wisdom that you're dropping with the audience
that we don't have to rely on other people for
our success. And I love the way you just took
the power in the fashion and now what I feel
like when I first read the article, this was a
couple of weeks ago, I said, Jay is about to
discover some more Ryan Coogler's some more writers like you.
(22:17):
This is like an incubator of all this new talent.
And then at any given time another conglomerate can come
to you and say partner, share whatever. But I love
the fact that you're so committed to the community and
to us, because we don't get these opportunities. And you know,
(22:39):
my show Inside the Black Box was an eighteen year journey.
It just wasn't time, but the timing right now. Every day,
ja I save articles of the first black woman yesterday
who owns They talked about her bank. She is the
first black woman who's ever owned a bank. Pilots winery.
(23:03):
Every day there's the first black something. So I feel
like we're in this war tex right now of black
power of black because you know we're in two I'm
exhausted every day being black, just living and being my
every day. And you know, the other day here in
this young man who got shot in the head and
(23:25):
you know he survived Africa, Congo, only to come here
to be shot in the head by the police. Every
single day there's something. But for me, the positive is
someone like you creating this platform and knowing that authentically
our stories are going to be told without changing the
history or protecting culturally people you know because they're fragile
(23:49):
or whatever. Laws the laws against doing what I'm doing.
To be honest, now there's laws in with Florida. Yes, yes,
do this, you can't do it fingers, middle fingers. And
that's what I love you. Just redegate, like that's what
I'm saying by antbs that say Jay doesn't care. I
would be sitting here all this sometime I don't even
(24:11):
really beginning, and you would tell me things that you
would do. I never dabted you go do it. I
was just like I have to just bless Jay because
you don't care, you don't care what you're gonna say.
It's like they're like, no, no, no, all you hear
is yes, yes, yes, it could be done. I'll do
it myself. Like you know, we have three minutes, Jay,
this has been an amazing, amazing interview. Can you just
(24:34):
whatever jewels you want to drop on these actors? And
we don't just have an audience of actors, we have
a mixed audience. Can you just give them some advice
in terms of being on a journey and the patience
on the journey. You know, it's funny, this is sticking
with patients part. I'm gonna say this. There's a term
that I use, and I use it very wisely and
(24:55):
sparingly because I think sometimes people need to hear it
and sometimes people well won't get it. So I'll say
it on this platform. Think of your work as a slingshot.
You pull it back. Its tension. Yeah, it's tension. Put
it back, it's tension. Pull it back, it's tension. You
(25:16):
put it back back, back back, back, back, back back back.
That's the journey. So when you're ready, you let go.
I think how far you go? M This is why
I was excited and knew that this was going to
be great for you guys. Exactly Boom, there is drop
(25:38):
the mic. Jay, Like, I have had the pleasure of
knowing you for are trillion years and I look forward
to this new chapter and a more cretrillion years. But
when I first met you, I was like, you need
to be on TV because you're crazy here a lot
of fun and your talent and and again, like you said,
(25:59):
I didn't work for me. Yeah, well I don't want
to say that, Jay. I don't want to say that
because I'm transitioning into directing. And so if I ever
have something that looks like Jay Alexander, I'm calling you out.
I don't care what you say, I don't care what
your people say. You gotta give me a couple hours
to shoot this. Yeah, I'll coach you, but because I
know that, But but did here you go? Now we're
(26:21):
gonna we're gonna bring it full forward. Right. It didn't
work for me then, but I kept in the business
and now you may say, hey, listen, I forgot something
for you, and it was something. Now, Oh my god,
you know he's the best actor ever. It takes time.
You gotta just keep going today, might have might be today, Tomorrow,
I'll be today. But if you brushed to have another day,
(26:43):
then you've got another chance. Ladies and gentlemen, I want
you to stand up and put your hands together for

So whenever you're ready. Elsa. Hello, everyone, Welcome back to class.
In session. Today we have two of our spirited actor
a mom Ni Miss Titia Hickman Hi, Tsha Hello, and
Mr Lametria Starks Hello everybody. But today we are Tsha
(28:12):
and Lea Maitria are going to perform Honest Lives, written
by our very own Tracy Moore. Interior restaurant night jazz
music plays in the background. Natasha Naturally Beautiful sits at
the table, tapping her fingers to the music. A large
diamond rock rests on it. Her phone buzzes, and she
(28:34):
immediately taps her earbuds. I've been waiting here for thirty
three minutes. Are you on your way at White Oh? Byron?
I thought you would court me, she called me, needing
to talk important. I know the history you have with
my sister. She doesn't hate you, you too, just never
(28:58):
really taking time to get to know each other. Suddenly,
Courtney dashes into the restaurant. Natural Beauty runs in their family.
She just got here. Yes, I'll call you after Yes,
right after you tell me every every chance you got.
(29:23):
I love you too. Natasha stares across the table at
a disheveled Courtney, I'm so sorry. I got stuck on
the f train. Then I jumped off and took a cab.
The cab driver tells me as we are coming off
the bridge that he can only take me across the bridge.
I was like, why didn't you tell me that? When
I got in, he said he just got a call.
(29:45):
I jumped in another cap and here I am. Oh,
and he didn't even charge me. Can you ever show
up drama free and with a fully charged phone? You know,
never mind, Just get a glass of water, take a breath,
then tell me what was so urgent you couldn't just
(30:07):
like face timing the way that brings over a glass
of water with a slice of lemon in it. Cortney
picks up the glass and inhales the aroma a shoulders
dry and she seems to ease. Thank you. You always
have a way of common things down and making them
seeing not as big as they really are. Is this
(30:31):
the setup? I'm just going to be blunt. How well
do you know Bryson? You're traveling on very thin water? Corton, Okay,
I know him well enough to marry him and spend
the rest of my life with him after five months,
(30:52):
after five minutes, you know in your heart. I can't
explain it. I know. Do you know what he's like
when there's a tragedy or an emergency, or what about
when he's unemployed? No, but that's how we're going to
grow together. We'll learn about these things. Yeah, are you
(31:16):
really in love or the idea of it? I don't
like this conversation. Why do you have to get married
right away? Like you guys are young to be engaged
for a year. This is a decision for the rest
of your life. Natasha is at a loss for words.
(31:43):
If I knew something, would you want to know? Yes, yes,
I would want to know. I think Bryson is cheating
on you. I ran into Bryson that bad Bath and
(32:07):
Beyond last week, and I went up to him and
he was a little Mexicist. Maybe you called him off guard. No, No,
I didn't speak long enough because I felt how uncomfortable
he was. I've ducked behind it out and he looked
that I had left. Then a woman approached him and
(32:29):
gave him a big hug and a loppy kiss. How
sloppy like familiar? Sloppy? Natasha stairs of her Ring something
clicks in her. Are you sure you didn't see? No?
(32:50):
Why because he asked me to call him after and
don't trust to you because of our our history. How
convenient I need you to turn on your blood. I
(33:11):
have no reason to lie. When you get home, ask him,
ask him if there's anything that he wants to tell you.
It's up to him to be honest with you. And
this is the rest of your life. My heart is
saying this isn't happening, but my head is saying, this
(33:33):
explains it all. M hm. There was a child about
three years old. He has a trial. He told me
it was his niece. I've seen tons of pictures in
his house. Mhm. I have to talk to him. Maybe
(33:58):
you should gather your thoughts for first. Natasha smiles and
touches her hand. Something in my soul was unsettled. I
knew something just in denial. Natasha turns to leave, but
(34:22):
she stops and hugs Courtney first. See, okay, I'm gonna
throw it to you, j whatever feedback notes you want
to give them. I don't have no I sat there
in my head. I'm sitting there closing my eyes, and
my eyes are open, but I was sitting there listening
and I'm like, i feel like I'm watching something and
(34:43):
hearing something and I'm like, wow, this is this is
like wow. I'm like I'm watching it and I'm seeing
it and I'm but it's not not even here like beautiful.
I think this is the first time in the Spirited
Entre podcast history we had no notes the first time,
(35:06):
you guys, that's what I'm easy. Well, I have to
say I'm so happy that you enjoyed it because the
purpose of classic Session is to showcase our talent to
powers to be like you. So thank you, Jay, That's
so cool. Thank you well. Once again, ladies and gentlemen,
I want you to stand up and I want you
(35:26):
to support for us by US Network TV. J Alexander
Martin is getting ready to change the scope of everything
and we have a home. We really have a home,
ladies and gentlemen, Chancing. Thank you so much Jay for
us by us You'll I gotta find some parts for
(35:50):
these young ladies. Thank you. I received a lot of
blessing Jay God, and we will be back, ladies and
gentlemen with the Spirited Active Podcast with me Tracy Moore.
I'm gonna give you some love. That's what I'm gonna do.
Give you a love, and now it's time to give love.
(36:11):
As I grow older and wiser in my life, I
understand why my grandparents didn't care about what people said.
I understand that as you continue to grow at different milestones,
right like thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, and beyond as you
become forty, my experience was embracing no for the first
(36:36):
time in my life. I told people know, I turned
down jobs. I was an available, certain thing that was empowered.
In my fifties, I really got to a point where
I really didn't care what people thought. I don't have
time to cipher through all of my relationships and think
about what people are saying and what they're doing. I
(36:57):
don't have time for that. And I'm gonna tell you
that my new mile stone when I tell you I
do not care, I don't care because I don't have
time to make everyone happy and do everything that everyone
wants me to do to please that I had learned
(37:18):
in this specific milestone to please Tracy first, and then
all the love and sprinkled us and rainbow and butterflies
continues to flutter around in my life. The positive energy
that I have continues to grow when I go with it.
(37:40):
Don't forget to look out for us on our new show,
Inside the black Box. My co host will be Joe
the Legend Morton. It's going to be The Spirited Actor
Podcast on Steroids. Will be streaming on the Crackle network.
