Speaker 2 (01:07):
Either it's Brian's Abashi and movie reviews more and if
it's Tuesday, that means we're live as usual, and I
expect to have some feedback on things going on here.
And we are in a retrograde, so who knows what's
going on. But the thing about this is one hundred
and sixty three live shows in a row, live on
(01:27):
Talk for Media, K for HD radio and Talk for TV,
and streaming on over one hundred outlets around the world
right now as usual. And I always say this, if
you could donate to your favorite charities, whether they're the arts, artists, authors,
you name it, entrepreneurs, they've got to do that. So
one of the things that's special about this show, Howard,
(01:49):
is this young lady. You know, we have a couple
of people that are coming on late because things say, hey,
it's July the United States, but she is not. She's
in Singapore, and I believe it's Wednesday morning, either at
eight or nine in the morning. So typical, the fantastic thing,
and it's a fun thing. And so Howard, when I
met her at the Oscar Gifting Suite in Beverly Hills
(02:11):
this year, and I never forgot that she said this.
She was so nice to me. She goes, no one
is interviewing me, and I said, don't you worry about that.
I'll take sure of this. I'll help you out. And
I never forgot that. And every time I went by
her booth, you know, because her ruth is here. Her
book is called Against All Odds. It was one of
those things where I said, you know what, how many
people came by the interview people. How many people take
(02:33):
the chance and the time for someone that they may
not know and give them recognition. We have all gone
through that one time or another. But on the flip
side of this, Howard, it's one of those things where
this lady has created a bunch of companies.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not only is she a human rights advocate, she's an author,
she's an entrepreneur, she's a mentor. I met her daughter.
She has two daughters. But it's one of those things
that she was fascinating and you know what, they gave
me a ride back up from the easy Way oscar
viewing party. They didn't have to do that, and we
had fun talking to the lift or Uber driver at
(03:10):
that point on the way back. And I don't forget
things like that, and things like that are acts of
kindness very important in my book. You never know who
you're going to meet, you never know who they're connected with,
and you never know what's going to come out of
that in the future. So I have to say this,
so the data thank you for coming on. She watches
(03:31):
and listens to our show. You know why she can't
has problems sleeping, just like I do. Just like how
it is. I think we all get maybe four hours
if that, all three of us. And it's one of
the things where I talked to her daughter today. She
is an know this and she goes Brian and since
you're going to Canada to speak, why don't you come
to Seattle. I'm like, well, let me see what I
could do. I'm a little busy, but you know what,
(03:52):
let me see what I can do. So that was
your daughter today that I talked Tota. So I'm not
gonna put words in Emil. I'm going to have you
talk about your book, how you talk about the companies
that you started, why you're relevant, why you live in Singapore,
and you know it's not easy being you, is it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
So thank you for having me on your show. It's
really a privilege and honor. And whatever you said actually
resonates with me because it was exactly the way you
said it, you know, without any embellishments or you know,
diplomatic kind of thing. We just said as is, which
I appreciate because I believe that's very important in communications.
(04:33):
As far as talking about my book or the companies
that you mentioned, I have set up only two companies.
But I'm happy to say that the one of the companies,
which was previously called Avocado Skin Private Limited, has now
been approved for name change as Sujata Against all Odds
(04:53):
Private Limited. That's what I was trying to have a
logo behind that. I was quite unsuccessful in that, so
next time maybe, but yes, So it's not easy to
set up the company. But if you have read my
book or if you know my journey. I became an
entrepreneur by divine intervention. It's not that I actually set
(05:16):
out to start a company, but it happened out of
my spiritual experience when I met God in Barcelona and
the angels in Spain, and that's how I set up
my company because it was meant to be. It didn't
happen by a planned execution. But that's how my life
journey has been. It's full of challenges, but human angels
(05:38):
come and just take me forward. So when I told
Brian that you know, nobody's interviewing me, he became the
human angel who decided that okay, I should not be
not be seen or forgotten or not be heard. And
for that I have to tell you that that's how
my life journey is. There are always people who to
(06:00):
stop me from speaking or be heard, but then people
like Brian, people like the Zuli's, they just come forward
and lift me up to did This book has become
my brand, it has become my company name. So you
can see how the journey goes. Not that I did anything.
I just do what I do, which is different. People
(06:23):
help people because I was always alone and I don't
want anybody else to be alone.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You know, Howard, introduce yourself? Talk about that, because she
listens to our shows occasionally She'll say, send me the link,
and I'm like, she can't sleep, you know, literally, Howard.
She she does what we do? What do we get
four hours? If that not like we want? Is just
we just do? She's like that in Singapore. So I
send her the link and she listens to our shows.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Ahead, Howard, But when you know me, I'm up all
night answering Facebook and everything else.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
So you know, we know everybody from around the world.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
So somebody up and I figured if you get my
text and you're sleep and you won't get it till
you wake.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Up, exactly. I mean, so before how how i'd introduce yourself?
And then I'm gonna ask you a question? Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
I'm Howard Wiggins.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
I'm one in the world's top thirty five interior designers.
I'm in Andrew Martin volume three. I have a look
called Stacked and Layer that I created an interior design.
I'm an actor, a model, a voiceover of course, Brian's
co host on movies reviews and more. I do a
little dancing. I'm a fun person. I've I've just gotten
(07:35):
a video about men and pearls. You'll see that on
my Facebook and I'm featured in that at the end.
So I'm always up to doing something. So just I
was gonna Bless your Heart not too long ago, which
is a TV show, and I got Passion TV. My
father forced me to marry a billionaire and I played
the billionaire.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
So I'm I do.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
A little bit of everything. So in September it is
my birthday month, so that's Kable.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And mine too, so we get to celebrate it a
strange way, which is good.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
You should give me your birth birthday, did so I
can wish you.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Birthday day in month September fifteenth, nineteen fifteenth three.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Brian, mine is September twenty sixth, nineteen sixty one.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
We are of the same age.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
M h Yeah, they talk about this. What is it
like talk about this when you're listening to us in
Singapore at eight or not?
Speaker 6 (08:34):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Is it eight in the mornings or nine in the morning.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
It's eight in the morning when you're.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Listening to us. What does that sound like to you?
What's that feeling? Because Howard has sound problems here and there,
depending what it is. But what does that sound like
to you now that you get a chance to meet him,
even though you haven't met and played a person. What's
that like for you?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Well, I've always liked what he says, and he has
a sense of humor I think, and a lot of
relatable you know I views and thoughts which I do
relate to. So I enjoyed this conversation with you and Howard.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Ah see that, Howard. Isn't that nice to hear that?
There we go, and so you know, I've been waiting
for this young lady. I'm gonna you know, I'm going
to call you miss Smith, like mister missus Smith, because
not only are you tough, it's all about faith. It's
also all you know. You may don't. You may not
know this because we haven't met yet. I was there
(09:32):
when Meenie and Greg Lee started their reality show back
in the day in Beverly Hills, when I interviewed her,
and I knew she was special at that point. The
fact that you got a chance to be working with them,
and I guess she could kind of call them a member,
you know, mentors because Greg was great the Lake Greg Lakes.
But uh, I tell us who you are where you're
coming from, and and now hiring, which is interesting. Let's
(09:54):
hear about that. Go ahead, Uh, we don't have sound
on you. You might have to come in. You might
have to come in and come back out. It happens
sometimes we're in a retrograde, so I'm not surprised. Yeah,
Howard knows about it. I know about that. Yeah, log
out and then come back in and then I'll continue
with you do that yep, yep. So yeah, Sota, watch
(10:17):
you figuring that out. Because we have things that happens
like this.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
It's technology, absolutely, and technology always fails us when we
need it the most.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
See she knows talk about this talk about being a strong,
smart woman in India. That's that's not really looked on abob,
is it from what she've done? Is it? Especially if
you're really intelligent.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, you summed it up very well. And that's why
that's not my favorite destination because of all the challenges
that I went through, though I will have to say
that even I overcame the challenges ironically in India, so
I have to give that perspective as well. But it's
very difficult and hard, precisely because of all the reasons
(10:59):
you already be identified.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Exactly, and that's the whole thing about that. So I'm
still stuck on that, Howard. That she's listened to you
in Singapore.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh so since Terry jumped on so, uh, Terry, she's
she's in Singapore and it's Wednesday morning, twelve minutes after
eight in the morning. Uh so she listens to our
show because she has problems sleeping, just like Tower. And
I now, did we lose Terry? Oh, it's gonna be
one of these shows. I get it, I get it right.
(11:36):
All right, I'm going back to the basics. I'm sticking
with you, all right, talk about this, talk about against
all odds. See all right, So here comes hot, here
comes Terry. See, I know we're gonna have one of
these shows. Nor do we have sound on you?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
So do I continue? Because I see she's coming back, She's.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Coming hy do we have we have sound on you?
They can't hear you? I don't know. That's interesting. And
Terry's disappeared, Howard. We know all about this, don't we.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Yeah, well, we put on a dance video or something.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Hi, we can't we can't hear you for some strange reason.
It's interesting, come back, go out and come back in again.
Let's see if it's just a connection. It might be that.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Okay, before you do that. On, let's make sure that
your microphone is. Are you on a laptop or desktop.
If you're on a laptop, do you have an external
microphone attached to it, or just the laptop microphone if
it's If it's the if you have another microphone plugged in,
you have to go to the settings and tell the
settings that. In settings, go to audio and make sure
(12:46):
it's picking up the camera that you want, I mean,
not the camera, the audio microphone that you wanted to.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
Hy Terry, Hi, sorry about that.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
I'm at a hotel, so I don't know what was
going on with the internet.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Oh I could tell you what's going on. We're in
a retrograde and it's strong. I already know. Okay, I
already know, so Ty, Why Ty, she's looking looking at
her settings on things? Terry, tell everybody who you are
what's going on?
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Hi? Ready, I'm a little under the weather, so I'm
taking some tea. You just have a little bit of
a sort of throat. But this is Terry. Marie been
with Brian for over ten years being red carpet hosting.
I'm a fitness competitor, actress. They called me NonStop for
a lot of reasons, and I just want to let
everybody know that I just had a very interesting night
last night. I stayed at the Madonna Inn in Sandili's
(13:33):
Obispo place is amazing. Every room in that hotel is
like a different theme and it's like it's it's just incredible.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I am.
Speaker 9 (13:43):
I'm I'm gonna do some videos on it, Brian, But like,
I just, yeah, that was just it was an experience.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
That's good to know. And you've got some rest, you
got a chance to reflect that. Yeah, you got to
show us. You got to tell us about your background,
because this one is different.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Bro, Bro, I'm stilling. Roy Wiggins play still guitar for
Eddie Arnold. I'm known for kissing Dolly Pardon. When I
was young. My dad played with Lorie Morgan still guitar
for her.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Also.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Uh, the street I grew up in had Bobby Lord's,
Peter Davis, Ralph Hemery, Kim and Brown Let's see, and
then my stepfather.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Charlie Bowsley, who was Brenda Lee's Uh. He raised Brenda
Lee after her parents died. Let's see, so.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
And pretty much my dad started Brentwood, the area here
in Nashville because when e Arnould hard him, he heard
him for life. When Eddie went to pop music or
more current music, he put dead into real estate. And
that's why all the opera stars live in the Brentwood
area here in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And I've been relaying a lot of that message when
it comes to that too. So miss Smith, let's see,
do we have a sign on you? Let's see this
time we do, don't we?
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Y'all can hear me?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah? All right, Hey, it's about now hiring. Now you're hired.
Let's talk about you.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It's not easy doing a lot of these things, is it.
It's also not easy being you of what you created.
Talk about who you are, where you're coming from, and
what's happening with your show and everything.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
Okay, I hadn't heard you mentioned.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
First of all, I apologize, guys for all the malfunctions
and coming to your show. I've been waiting to come
on your show for the longest time and then all
that stuff happened.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
So I do apologize. So thanks for having me first.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I don't worry about it because it happens. Yes, I
did it.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Yeah, but I.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Heard you say earlier about Nini Leeks. I used to
work for Nini Leeks and I worked for her for
about three and a half years, almost four years. I
was her personal assistant at a store called Swag Boutique
that was located in a MGM casino in Oxen.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Hill, Maryland. And what I did was I.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Managed a store there and it was so many dysfunctional
employees there.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
And they never got along with each other.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
They didn't respect my position at the time because I
was younger coming and trying to manage, like you know,
people that was like either my age or older or
younger didn't really want to listen to me. And I
was kind of like stuck in the middle at that
moment in my life. And it made me feel like, Okay,
you know what, this looked like a show. I feel
like these employees in the store can actually be like
(16:18):
a show. And if I had a show, I would
call it now hiring and I will fire all of them.
So that's where the idea came from.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Originated from that.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
So what I did was I end up creating a
show and using some of the employees from the store
from working with her, and we have.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
An amazing show.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
And basically what I do now is I'm a celebrity
booking agent and I find celebrities and if they need
any kind of bookings as far as like in the
clubs or lounges or weddings, you know, as far as
them singing.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Or rapping or poetry.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I mean just any genre that they're in, I find
bookings for them. Me and my team which is employees
from Swag, a lot of employees from Swag, and you know,
we just try to create this great dynamic on our
show to try to find work. But while we're finding
where it's a lot of dysfunctional stuff still going on
because my memory, they are in dysfunctional employees. So you know,
I try to figure out who can last the longest
(17:19):
and who's really doing it because I have a real
celebrity booking agency, which is a real.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Business, and I just turned it into a show. But
it's a lot of foolishness on the show.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
So who So, whoever really books the talent, they get
to stay on the show, but whoever doesn't at the
end of the show, I'll be firing them.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
At the end of probably each season.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Actually, yeah, talk about this. It's not easy doing those
because a lot of celebrities, they you know, they demand
things right away, and if you can't get it, you know,
you say it, you're fired right away. Not still from
President Trump, you know, because I was there when he
did Celebrity Apprentice. Yes, all right, So you just never
know what's going to happen to people and where they're
(18:01):
going to go on to next. And I know, Howard
can we can relate to that, and Terry can definitely
relate to that. And we were talking about this earlier
because you know when Howard how you could talk about this.
When you walk into a store, you know exactly what
you're looking for. You know, if someone's going to be
able to find you what you want and you don't
have time to waste, see you, Howard.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
No, I pretty much if I if I tell them
I'm a designer, I can pretty much do it on
my own. And when I help other people, if they
say their designer, I let them do it.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
They know what they do. I know what I know.
So you know, just but a lot.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Of people don't let you help them, and that's a
hindrance because a lot of people need help, but they
just won't ask for it, So that could it can
work the other way also.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yes, yes, and you're all right. So say, for example,
I don't know you, Howard, but just say your favorite
candy of Skittles and you come into your book and
your Skittles is not there. That can literally cause it
a celebrity to be like, Okay.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
You know what I'm leaving. My things are not ray.
You know, everything is not going the way it's supposed
to go. One little hiccup can cause me a whole contract.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
So you know, you would see all those things displayed
on the show that we've been working on. We just
finished our Triller two weekends ago and right now we're
just currently working on a whole bunch of different episodes
that's supposed to come out very very soon. I mean
I'm speaking to like a lot of different networks trying
to figure out which network I want to go to.
But it's going to come out very very soon as
(19:29):
fall fingers crossed, and it's going to be a great show.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I look forward to that. That'll be actually pretty good.
Can you say who you would like to have or
you can't say that quite yet like who.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
I would like to have as a celebrity that come
on a show.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, that and the network.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
As far as the network, my number one network to
me is Bravo because the type of show that this is, like,
it's a very classy.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Show, was an old school show and I remember, like back.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
In the day, like the show like Mosha Sister Sister,
and you know, remember the TGIF.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Moment that came on TV.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I'm trying to bring that back to television because I
don't feel like that that era is here anymore and
I miss seeing that era. That was like a fun
era for me in my life when I was growing up,
and I just want to see that back on television.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I don't want to see fighting and bickering too much.
You know, I think that people like the modern day,
like teenagers like eighteen to even to like sixty.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
I feel like that's the age group that will love my.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Show, and even older honestly, And I'm saying that because
the age range from the people that work on my show,
they are from eighteen all the way to like to
sixty five.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
So this show is literally for everybody. Because it's a
business show.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It's actually to me if I had to compare it
to any show, which my show was like no other.
But if I had to compare it to any show
business wise, I would say it's more like a selling
Sunset and it's just more like it's career driven. But
it's a whole bunch of drama without fighting physically. You know,
the girls like they shade each other, like with their
hair and they clothes and like the little you know words,
(21:06):
you know how women can be a little caddy sometime
with fashion. So that's the type of show I have
while they are also trying to get business done all
at the same time.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Now, I want you to meet someone from Singapore. So
it's it's about almost a thirty in the morning Wednesday
morning from Singapore. He listens to our shows occasionally because
she has problems sleeping. So you never imagine if this
young lady's Sajata. Imagine if she walked in because she's
been to the US or one of her daughter Both
of her daughters live in the United States a matter
of fact, but she's in Singapore. Imagine if she walked
(21:37):
in with her book against all odds and he said,
you know, I'm not getting the support that I want
to how can you help me? What would you say
to her? Because she is here right now? So all right,
I'm challenging because you just never know, you know, these
things we have to be on. When they want something,
you have to give them what they want. What would
you say.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
If she said that she needed to support right now?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, Sajaja, I'm pretty words in.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Well, first of all, I would.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I would.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I'm a boss, so I would tell her any kind
of support she needs. My name is TI, and I
am here to help in any aspect and I can
get the job done first, fast and effectively. So I'm
not sure what type of help she would want or
what type of support she would want, but my business
has all help, all aspects of help, and you know,
(22:25):
anything that she may need help with, I'm not sure
directly with that may be. It can be fashion, it
can be just her being shy and she needs somebody
to talk to.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
I've got consultation.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I actually have a journal book that's out now that
I've been working with with someone, and I was trying
to give you guys the name of it. It's a
journal that one of my consultants work, and I'll work.
I'm so sorry, she wrote, And a lot of the
girls on the cast we all writing it like our
daily like lesson plans or our daily activities that we're doing,
(22:57):
and it really helps out. And I will have the
name of that Jordan. I'm so sorry before this conversation ends.
But that can be like a great help of support
for you as well.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
To see, and that's a good thing.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
So I've got a question.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
So I got a question if the if the celebrity
has a goal and they relate to you, what that
goal is, you help them reach it? Or do you
want the celebrity to tell you what they need or
do you figure out what they need.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Well before the celebrity comes. Usually I know what they
need already before they come. But anything can happen, that
can any hiccup. Let's say for example, Okay, so one
of the celebrities that I book a lot, he's like
one of my primary celebrities.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
His name is Little Scrappy.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with Little Scrappy,
but Little Scrappy is like my first celebrity I've ever
booked for. His manager, actually his name is Champagne, and
he the person that taught me how to book. Now, say,
for example, a little scrappy come here. He's prepared and
he has his music. I have to give the DJ
his music for him to app I have to give
(24:01):
him the songs this playlist. But let's just say, for example,
he gets on that mic, and this happened on one
of my episodes. I'm kind of giving y'all a little
bit of my episode real quick. He gets on the
mic and then the mic don't work, and he's rapping.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
And everyone think.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
That, okay, they can hear Well, he thinks everyone can
hear them because he has his earpieces in, but no
one can hear him. So it would be my job
to try to figure that out, to try to figure
out why is Mike not working, Who was in charge
of the mic not working, Who need to be fired
for the night? The mic not working? What happened during
the playlist? Well, you know, it's a whole bunch of
different things that can happen. So the answer to that
(24:39):
is that I will be supportive in any aspect before
he gets there and whatever happens after he gets there
and when he get there, and your for.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The record, your your Instagram is everybody loves everybody loves
time or everybody loves time.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Everybody loved time.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
But it's so funny that you said that, because everybody
always asks me that everybody loves ty would ask so
I'm thinking.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
About editing and my Instagram.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well that's what I want because I just followed you
because I don't like to just follow anybody. It's got
to be something there, because the else I'd be following everybody,
you know, and I'm not that guy. I usually meet
people that's you know, gifting suitees or you know, in
the events, you know, across country, and then I prefer
that I like that or you know, when they come
on our show, because you know, so Joatha, she's in Singapore,
(25:28):
so it's one of those things. I got a chance
to meet her and her daughter and I immediately liked her,
and she goes, Brian, when are you gonna have be
on my show? I'm like, well, what? Four months? Books
in advance always, so I'm like, and then I had
to find the right time, and then you have communication
problems with everything, you know, and it's one of those
things like we always have four co hosts. Two of
them are sit you know, Terry Sick she's still meeting
(25:51):
you know Rachel in Houston, Texas. She's going through stuff.
Carol had to pick up family, and you know, Natasha
to Miami, Florida. He's moved into a new apartments, so
she's still moving into all this stuff. And she's a singer,
so you just never know what's going on and stuff.
So I like that, I go buy energy and that's
what the show is on. So to not to tell
her about your book Against All Odds, because I know
(26:12):
you're coming back to the United States. I don't know when,
but if your daughter invited me to Seattle, I know
you're going to make the surprise sometime soon. She's laughing.
You're mute, You're still are met. There you go.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
So I'm an author and my book Against All Odds,
No Retakes, no manuals, Real Life Lessons is my autobiography
and like I joking, these sakes for being murdered, I've
covered it all. So whatever kind of thing that you
can think of, life challenges and life altering moments, it's
all there in the book, including my meeting with God
(26:51):
as I film it during my worst the challenging life.
So that's a book of courage. Resilience and also to
inspire people to take action when there is no support,
there is nobody and there is a situation which you
must handle. That's what my book is all about. I
will say this that my now goal is for anybody
(27:14):
who's listening, I have two things. One is to make
the book beater movie, as has been suggested by readers
who have read my book and given their review. And
the other is I also have a sick form which
I would like interview, you know, come on TV. Those
are my two things.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
And you've you've had a lot of certificates lately that
in things that you want talk a little bit about those.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
So you know, Like I do a lot of volunteering,
and in that volunteering, like in Singapore, I do a
lot of mentoring with all kinds of people. My mentees
are from fifteen year olds to above across the globe,
so I can mentor students, I mentor the inmates who
(28:02):
are rehabilitating in society. I also go on outreach programs
with homeless. So wherever I can make a difference or
I can impact even one life, I do that.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That's important, especially when it comes to faith, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:21):
So like suicide prevention. That also, I have done some
certifications and courses and I'm a keynote speaker on a
lot many platforms on all these subjects.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Around the world, aren't you Yes, yeah, you know, you know.
I started telling a lot of people it's not easy
being you and talking about what you've done, because, like
I said, women aren't really looked highly about in India.
You're supposed to be gibbird subservent. But when happens when
you're smart as you are, like your daughter is you know,
(28:55):
I've only met one of them so far. She wants
me to meet the other one because she's in Los Angeles,
And I said, I would you know, because Ty, we're
here to help people. Are you know what it's like
to start in that BOUTI Howard knows what it's like
to be the father of someone who's famous. And Howard
is famous, you know. You know, Terry's parents grew up
working for Disney. So it's one of those things where
you just never know who you're going to meet. And Terry,
(29:17):
did you did you meet remember meeting Sajada at Heather's event?
Did you meet her? Terry kaneers? I think she's having problems,
but you know, it's it's one of those things where, hey,
you never know when you're going to meet people, you
never know what's going to happen. But be nice, be
kind to people. That's all it takes, right.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Howard, Absolutely, absolutely, And you never know who knows who
and like you tell me who, Well, yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Know it's t talk about this. Did you know this
was always going to be a reality show?
Speaker 8 (29:52):
No, let me say this really quickly.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
So when I started going back to nine Leaks, when
I started working for Nini, were supposed to get a
spin off show called Swag I want to say swagged
Out or either Swag. It was a spinoff show that
was supposed to happen from Real Housewives of Atlanta and
it was going to be about all the stuff that
(30:15):
was going on in the store because literally, if you
came in a store, you could feel the tension between
all the employees.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
But it's so crazy how it was so much tension.
But we just worked so well together.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I know it sounds crazy, but we just well, we
just worked so well together and all that dysfunction, right,
And we had an incident that.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
Occurred right before mister Gray passed away.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
It was so bad and it was like the real
personalities of everyone coming out.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
And we was only there for two weeks, our first
two weeks.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Of work, and I remember everybody in an MGM casino
was recording us on their camera phones because they thought
we was acting and we was not acting. That's how
crazy it was. And I mean she wanted to make
a show from that moment, but it just never happened
because unfortunately, when it's a great passed away, she left
(31:10):
the store go because it reminds her of her husband.
Speaker 8 (31:12):
So she was like, ty, I gotta let the store go,
you know.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
And she had three locations. I managed a couple of
other locations. She had one in Atlanta, she.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
Had one in Miami.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
But she just let them go because mister Gray, he
created that store for a misneding and he wanted the
store to showcase her fashion and who she really is
and you know, outside of Housewives of Atlanta. So when
she gave me an opportunity, I just thought it was amazing.
And I just feel like, like Howard said, you never
(31:45):
know who knows who, and you know you have to
treat and me as a person, I treat the janitor
to the top, the same. I'm the same all the
way around, you know, but I will say this the
blimous subliminal. My name is sub Blimoo. Everybody do not
love Tie. Some people hate Tie, and I want to
(32:07):
set everybody hate Tie, but only because they hate my
managing skills.
Speaker 8 (32:14):
Yes, but when.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
You get to know me as a person, you would
grow to love me as a person. You know, sometime
when you manage people, they don't they're not they they're
not interested in exactly and listening to you.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
So you know, that's what kind of comes with being
a boss. You know.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
I hate to say that, but it's kind of come
with being a boss. Some people love you, some people
hate you, and that's just kind of what it is.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
What state are you in right now?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I'm in a place called Bristow, Virginia that's close to
the DNB area of DC.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
I'm about forty five minutes away from Washington, DC.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Okay, is that is that where it's going to take place?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Yes, it's going to be in a D and B
the whole DNB area. Yes, And we don't have a
lot of shows in the DNB area. I know it's
one show. I think it's called I know Colos King
wrote it. I think it's called hunters Field. It's a
spin off show that I member something Callos King wrote
(33:11):
and I know they located in Washington, d C.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
They do like a lot of shows here. But it's
nothing like my show. I'm not trying to take away
from his show, but it's nothing like my show. My
show is just off the charts funny.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
It's very comedic, it's very dramatic, and I would like
to invite you guys too, if you would ever love
to come on as a guest.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
In an instant, you will love it.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I'm telling you, I'm so serious.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
And I will say this.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
With my booking agency, we cover the flights, we cover
your hotel, and you know, we cover some of the food.
And I say some of the food because some of
y'all celebrities can be very expensive to take care of.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
The type for the audience around the world, what is
the some of the most worst things that any celebrities
that you had to deal with done, and what are
some of the best things that some of them done?
Because I'm sure we know some of the same people
and I have no bones about telling stories on the shows.
I won't put it on social media, but I tell
them because some of them are pasted, a lot of
(34:21):
them are alive, a lot of them have been on
the show. I don't hide anything on the show.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yes, well, I will say this and creating my show,
and I keep bringing up with me because a lot
of my show concepts and ideas came from the drama
from Swag. So I remember it was a while ago
when I first met her, and I didn't know her
at all, but it was so much drama going into
the show.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
I mean not to show.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
I'm so sorry the store at that time that all
the girls were just going at it and lying on
each other. And I wasn't from the area. I'm not
from the DNB area. I'm originally from Brooklyn, New York.
But I had came from the Virginia Beach area and
I'm moved to the D and B area to work
for her because she asked me to move there.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
I had an interview with her, and you know, I
just moved there.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
So when the girls met me, they thought I was
from Atlanta and they was spreading this big roomor in
a store, and I remember Miss Ninnie said, you could
never win when you play dirty, and I was like me,
it was like I just got here. I was like,
I just got here. I was on here for two weeks,
you know, it was like what happened? So later on
within like working with her, she apologized to me and
(35:30):
we became really cool, and her mister Greg honestly was
like almost like godparents to me in a sense. They
really watched out for me the whole entire.
Speaker 8 (35:37):
Time I was there.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
So answering your question to like, one of the worst
things that happened to me with a celebrity, I would
say outside of my show, that's what happened. Now, the
worst thing that happened to me with my show with
a celebrity, I would say, a little scrappy. Going back
to him, I remember when I first met him.
Speaker 8 (35:58):
I tripped over his foot in the club and it
was just so embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
And it was embarrassing because I almost made him trip
on the stage in front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Oh wow.
Speaker 8 (36:10):
So yeah, So that was a very don't do apologize
by camera. Phone just fell. That was a very embarrassing
moment for me.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
A great moment for me was when I had booked
Young Jock. Are you familiar with young Jock the rapper Young. Yes, Yes,
I booked him. And when I booked him, my books
had met a club actually in Richmond with one of
my booking agents, and the booking from start to finish
went perfect.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
It went so perfect until the end, sorry, until the
very very end.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
The very end was he was supposed to I think
at the time before like five songs or something. And
usually a lot of clients they we take a deposit
for them, They get their deposit and then when it
gets to the club to get the other half in
hand with the owner of the club owner like cash.
Speaker 8 (37:04):
They don't take checks, they take cash of hand.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
And I remember one of the club owners did not
have cash and was trying to cash at film. And
you know, like I said, everything went perfect until the end,
and you just cannot cash.
Speaker 8 (37:16):
App a manager, you cannot sit a check.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
So if you ever try to book a celebrity, you
have to pay half and half. That's usually how we
do business, or you just pay a full booking fee
and hole. So that's the only thing that I could
really think of. It was nothing like too alarming or
too bad. I have to say some stuff for the show.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
That's true. Hey, Terry, did we have you?
Speaker 9 (37:39):
Yeah, I'm here the internet, but I think I got
it fixed, so I'm going in and out.
Speaker 8 (37:44):
Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Do you remember when The Housewives of Orange County first
came on? Did you watch that? Did you watch any
of those shows or the Osbornes.
Speaker 9 (37:53):
Remember my mom watched The Orange County Housewives religiously and
then she stopped watching it when it got too crazy.
I watching coming home, like, yeah, So is that answer
your question?
Speaker 6 (38:06):
So?
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah. The reason I said that because you know, TCA
Television Critic Association, we always did new and returning TV shows.
This is where all the shows come from, and you know,
they come on stage, we would talk to them, they'd
be at the after the All Star party, we would
mingle with them, and then literally three or six months later,
sometimes a year later, they're huge stars. Whether it's porn stars,
(38:30):
Storage Walls, the Real Housewives of Atlanta, all of this
came out of from the Orange Housewives of Orange County.
That was the very first one. But going back before that,
you have the Osborns are the osbourne They were just
sensational shows and they haven't stopped and they will never
go away. So you know, even soota. Even when it
comes to a lot of the you know you think
(38:51):
of Bollywood. Bollywood has always made more movies, more TV
shows than Hollywood. You can't get away from that. Now
they've crossed over the next Netflix. All the shows that
I see from India, Pakistan, Singapore, Korea, South Korea, they're
all on Netflix. Now there's just a dang a TV shows.
It's unbelievable when you're not writing, when you're not helping people,
(39:12):
Are you watching TV or are you listening to music?
You're asking me, Ah, yes, I am.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
I don't think there are many or few people who
don't watch TV. You will watch TV at some point
or the other and depending on what interests you. But
it's also about timing. So yes, if I don't sleep
in the night, then I will watch TV music. I
have my own playlist of music which I do like
(39:43):
to listen to whenever I have the time. You I
think may or may not know that. I have a
podcast too, which is called Hangout with Sujata, and I
invite people to share their very personal stories which they've
never shared with everybody, because that's a platform I gift
to people to inspire other people, and that podcast is
(40:07):
slightly different in the sense that I ask my guests
to come with the playlist of songs which they tie
up with their journeys.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Oh, I love that. That's a good idea. All right,
So when am I coming on your show? Because I
can tell you my number one song is Ain't Manhill.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
You have to find time, Brian, You're a very busy person.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I could find time. That's not an issue.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
You have the time and when your playlist of songs
is ready.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Just you know my song Listen, I'm way ahead of you.
I'm ready, just like I'm gonna go see Tie now
because you know she's got my interest with this. I
just gotta figure out how I can squeeze in if
I You guys don't even know. I gotta go to
Little Rock, Arkansas for forty eight hours at the end
of August. I'm going to Canada. When is it August
(40:52):
seventh through the eleventh? You know your daughter wants me
to see her for forty eight hours or twenty four
hours in Seattle. I'm like, I can't keep doing all.
I'm not twenty thirty years old, you know, but I'm
doing my best, you know. Yeah, And don't ask me
to go to single. Well, I would come visit you
at Singapore, but I just have to know when.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
To say that that. Why don't you come to Singapore?
Speaker 5 (41:12):
Okay, so I'm going Brian.
Speaker 9 (41:17):
You know, I supposed to be going to Singapore in
for December November because my friend lives there.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Oh well then, so John, and let me ask you this.
When's the best time to come to Singapore?
Speaker 9 (41:28):
Then?
Speaker 4 (41:28):
Anytime? Because Singapore doesn't have really seasons, so it has
a constant weather of hot, humidity and rains. But everything
is mostly air conditioned here, so it's quite okay and easy.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Oh that's right, that's right, all right. So what's the
hottest it'll get? What's the coldest it'll get?
Speaker 4 (41:49):
Oldest? I don't think there's something like coldest hot is
the any Asian country? I think that is hot is there.
But it's pretty easy. You get used to it.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
I can't get used to it. Yeah, it doesn't bother me,
but other people, you know, usually it's the white people
that melt hun terry, you know, they can't take it.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
Mostly it's got the best public transport in the world
and everything is air condition so unless you want to
go out in the heat and walk and jog and
do all that stuff that's up to you. But otherwise
(42:30):
you can walk.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
Here.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
Many places you can't walk. This is one country where
you can walk. And yes, everything indoors. When you feel hot,
you just go into a small restaurant or anything.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Give your social media links for everybody and where and
how they can find your book.
Speaker 4 (42:46):
My book is available across the globe on all Amazon platforms.
It's available if you do a search. Even I've been
surprised to see that this is like Walmart or Phosco
or something they also have online. You can order my
book those who are in Singapore. I always meet up
with people. I take them out for a meal and
(43:08):
I give them an author signed copy and we have
meaningful conversations.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
And when are you coming back to the US. You're
coming back anytime soon?
Speaker 4 (43:17):
Not anytime soon. I came this this this year only,
and it is difficult to go to US, long fly
hours and the weather and all one has to see.
But definitely once a year I do both. So maybe
next year I will go.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Well, I have to say, it was an honor and
pleasure to meet you and your daughter, and I think
about it, you know when I do our shows, you know.
You know, sometimes I say hi to you. I'm talking
to you in Singapore. Friends.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
No, because if you're on WhatsApp, then you're always connected.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Absolutely so Ta you never know when you're coming on
a shop, you should have me, you know. And that's
the fun thing about it. And she listens to our show,
you know, pretty much religiously because she can't sleep.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
It's not only I can't sleep, but I do like
your shows. And when sometimes you forget to tell me, Brian,
but your guests know me and they tell me that
they're going to be on your show. Then I say
give me the link and then I come on your show.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
That's right, and I send it to you right away,
don't I all right, give your social media links one
more last time, followed by Howard.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Go ahead, Oh you've already one more time, clearly go
ahead to Jata ahead, that link is already have posted you.
It's the LinkedIn social media. I have other social media,
but I'm not very active on it. I have to admit,
so Instagram, Facebook, they're all there. But if somebody wants
(44:47):
to really connect, it's on WhatsApp. I always give my
number very openly and generously And it's in my book,
it's in my LinkedIn. You just have to connect with
me on what's happen there you go.
Speaker 5 (45:00):
Howard Howard Wiggins Facebook and Instagram and of course movies
reviews and more. And it's the plain Howard Wiggins, not
Howard Wiggins interior design.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah, you gotta make that clear because uh, that's that's
a big difficult Terry, Terry.
Speaker 9 (45:16):
I'm sorry, my internet's going crazy. Yeah, Terry Marina stop
on all platforms.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
And ty what would make people watch this Future Show?
And I believe Robel should get it, and I think
they will get.
Speaker 8 (45:26):
It, thank you. I think that everybody should watch The
Future Show because it's hilarious, it's dramatic.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Everybody is being true to who they really are. They're
not actors. These are these real people personalities, and I
think that a lot of the entertainment aspect of the
show will draw a lot of attention to the show
once everybody see a different celebrity on each episode that
I have appeared.
Speaker 8 (45:51):
Coming for my season that's.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
About to start and give you social media again.
Speaker 8 (45:55):
Yes, is everybody love without the s Hi t Y?
Everybody loved Tie.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
And so why should everybody love.
Speaker 8 (46:04):
Tie, because everybody should love me because I'm tied.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
That would be See that's a Howard Wiggans answer itself.
Just so that you know Howard's dad started the Grandell Lobberry.
You should send him a ticket. That would be fascinating
to see. I'd love to see that one. A personal
Howard walking in because Howard could dressing anything I did.
Speaker 5 (46:30):
I did have a job where when I got first
got to the job, everybody thought I was undercover balls.
So I dressed well, I look like I'm wealthy, and
they thought you're undercover balls, aren't you.
Speaker 6 (46:42):
I'm like, no, we're Howard.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
Everyone of you guys are invited to any episode that's upcoming.
Speaker 8 (46:51):
I'm very serious about that. I will love to have
you on.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
Ooh, I'm gonna call Hollidy tomorrow on this. This could
be interesting.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
Yes, and we do have a pot attached to the
end of the show. There's a lot of different things,
a lot of different things. You know, I can set
you up. I don't know if you guys go to
lounges or clubs or however. You know you feel comfortable
with a booking. Let me know what type of booking
you like I find a booking for you. Make sure, like,
for example, I don't know if you do country music, Howard,
(47:19):
I see your hat so like a country hat. Not
sure it looks nice country royalty, country royalty. So I
mean I can set you up like a country booking,
and you know, I can just make a lot of
things happen within that episode, and you know they can
interview you, interview you at the end, and you know,
(47:39):
get a nice dinner for you. I can just set
up a nice, real nice booking for you. And that's
for each one of you, guys. I would love to
have you one. I'm serious about that.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
All right, there we go. All right, So this was
an interesting show. Lots of technology problems. No surprise. We
are in a retorgrade. I'm not surprised one day. So
as I always say, thank you everybody for tuning in
around the world. Have a good night tonight. I better
than in my better day Tomorrow. You see someone without
a smile, please give in one of yours because the
world needs it. And Brian Sebastian is the movie. You're
(48:06):
views and more and we will see you next week.
This program is designed to provide general information with regards
to the subject matters covered. This information is given with
the understanding that neither the hosts, guests, sponsors, or station

legal counseling, professional service, or any advice. You should seek
(00:22):
the services of competent professionals before applying or trying any
suggested ideas.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Either it's Brian's Abashi and movie reviews more and if
it's Tuesday, that means we're live as usual, and I
expect to have some feedback on things going on here.
And we are in a retrograde, so who knows what's
going on. But the thing about this is one hundred
and sixty three live shows in a row, live on
(01:27):
Talk for Media, K for HD radio and Talk for TV,
and streaming on over one hundred outlets around the world
right now as usual. And I always say this, if
you could donate to your favorite charities, whether they're the arts, artists, authors,
you name it, entrepreneurs, they've got to do that. So
one of the things that's special about this show, Howard,
(01:49):
is this young lady. You know, we have a couple
of people that are coming on late because things say, hey,
it's July the United States, but she is not. She's
in Singapore, and I believe it's Wednesday morning, either at
eight or nine in the morning. So typical, the fantastic thing,
and it's a fun thing. And so Howard, when I
met her at the Oscar Gifting Suite in Beverly Hills
(02:11):
this year, and I never forgot that she said this.
She was so nice to me. She goes, no one
is interviewing me, and I said, don't you worry about that.
I'll take sure of this. I'll help you out. And
I never forgot that. And every time I went by
her booth, you know, because her ruth is here. Her
book is called Against All Odds. It was one of
those things where I said, you know what, how many
people came by the interview people. How many people take
(02:33):
the chance and the time for someone that they may
not know and give them recognition. We have all gone
through that one time or another. But on the flip
side of this, Howard, it's one of those things where
this lady has created a bunch of companies.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not only is she a human rights advocate, she's an author,
she's an entrepreneur, she's a mentor. I met her daughter.
She has two daughters. But it's one of those things
that she was fascinating and you know what, they gave
me a ride back up from the easy Way oscar
viewing party. They didn't have to do that, and we
had fun talking to the lift or Uber driver at
(03:10):
that point on the way back. And I don't forget
things like that, and things like that are acts of
kindness very important in my book. You never know who
you're going to meet, you never know who they're connected with,
and you never know what's going to come out of
that in the future. So I have to say this,
so the data thank you for coming on. She watches
(03:31):
and listens to our show. You know why she can't
has problems sleeping, just like I do. Just like how
it is. I think we all get maybe four hours
if that, all three of us. And it's one of
the things where I talked to her daughter today. She
is an know this and she goes Brian and since
you're going to Canada to speak, why don't you come
to Seattle. I'm like, well, let me see what I
could do. I'm a little busy, but you know what,
(03:52):
let me see what I can do. So that was
your daughter today that I talked Tota. So I'm not
gonna put words in Emil. I'm going to have you
talk about your book, how you talk about the companies
that you started, why you're relevant, why you live in Singapore,
and you know it's not easy being you, is it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
So thank you for having me on your show. It's
really a privilege and honor. And whatever you said actually
resonates with me because it was exactly the way you
said it, you know, without any embellishments or you know,
diplomatic kind of thing. We just said as is, which
I appreciate because I believe that's very important in communications.
(04:33):
As far as talking about my book or the companies
that you mentioned, I have set up only two companies.
But I'm happy to say that the one of the companies,
which was previously called Avocado Skin Private Limited, has now
been approved for name change as Sujata Against all Odds
(04:53):
Private Limited. That's what I was trying to have a
logo behind that. I was quite unsuccessful in that, so
next time maybe, but yes, So it's not easy to
set up the company. But if you have read my
book or if you know my journey. I became an
entrepreneur by divine intervention. It's not that I actually set
(05:16):
out to start a company, but it happened out of
my spiritual experience when I met God in Barcelona and
the angels in Spain, and that's how I set up
my company because it was meant to be. It didn't
happen by a planned execution. But that's how my life
journey has been. It's full of challenges, but human angels
(05:38):
come and just take me forward. So when I told
Brian that you know, nobody's interviewing me, he became the
human angel who decided that okay, I should not be
not be seen or forgotten or not be heard. And
for that I have to tell you that that's how
my life journey is. There are always people who to
(06:00):
stop me from speaking or be heard, but then people
like Brian, people like the Zuli's, they just come forward
and lift me up to did This book has become
my brand, it has become my company name. So you
can see how the journey goes. Not that I did anything.
I just do what I do, which is different. People
(06:23):
help people because I was always alone and I don't
want anybody else to be alone.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You know, Howard, introduce yourself? Talk about that, because she
listens to our shows occasionally She'll say, send me the link,
and I'm like, she can't sleep, you know, literally, Howard.
She she does what we do? What do we get
four hours? If that not like we want? Is just
we just do? She's like that in Singapore. So I
send her the link and she listens to our shows.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Ahead, Howard, But when you know me, I'm up all
night answering Facebook and everything else.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
So you know, we know everybody from around the world.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
So somebody up and I figured if you get my
text and you're sleep and you won't get it till
you wake.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Up, exactly. I mean, so before how how i'd introduce yourself?
And then I'm gonna ask you a question? Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
I'm Howard Wiggins.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
I'm one in the world's top thirty five interior designers.
I'm in Andrew Martin volume three. I have a look
called Stacked and Layer that I created an interior design.
I'm an actor, a model, a voiceover of course, Brian's
co host on movies reviews and more. I do a
little dancing. I'm a fun person. I've I've just gotten
(07:35):
a video about men and pearls. You'll see that on
my Facebook and I'm featured in that at the end.
So I'm always up to doing something. So just I
was gonna Bless your Heart not too long ago, which
is a TV show, and I got Passion TV. My
father forced me to marry a billionaire and I played
the billionaire.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
So I'm I do.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
A little bit of everything. So in September it is
my birthday month, so that's Kable.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And mine too, so we get to celebrate it a
strange way, which is good.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
You should give me your birth birthday, did so I
can wish you.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Birthday day in month September fifteenth, nineteen fifteenth three.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Brian, mine is September twenty sixth, nineteen sixty one.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
We are of the same age.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
M h Yeah, they talk about this. What is it
like talk about this when you're listening to us in
Singapore at eight or not?
Speaker 6 (08:34):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Is it eight in the mornings or nine in the morning.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
It's eight in the morning when you're.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Listening to us. What does that sound like to you?
What's that feeling? Because Howard has sound problems here and there,
depending what it is. But what does that sound like
to you now that you get a chance to meet him,
even though you haven't met and played a person. What's
that like for you?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Well, I've always liked what he says, and he has
a sense of humor I think, and a lot of
relatable you know I views and thoughts which I do
relate to. So I enjoyed this conversation with you and Howard.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Ah see that, Howard. Isn't that nice to hear that?
There we go, and so you know, I've been waiting
for this young lady. I'm gonna you know, I'm going
to call you miss Smith, like mister missus Smith, because
not only are you tough, it's all about faith. It's
also all you know. You may don't. You may not
know this because we haven't met yet. I was there
(09:32):
when Meenie and Greg Lee started their reality show back
in the day in Beverly Hills, when I interviewed her,
and I knew she was special at that point. The
fact that you got a chance to be working with them,
and I guess she could kind of call them a member,
you know, mentors because Greg was great the Lake Greg Lakes.
But uh, I tell us who you are where you're
coming from, and and now hiring, which is interesting. Let's
(09:54):
hear about that. Go ahead, Uh, we don't have sound
on you. You might have to come in. You might
have to come in and come back out. It happens
sometimes we're in a retrograde, so I'm not surprised. Yeah,
Howard knows about it. I know about that. Yeah, log
out and then come back in and then I'll continue
with you do that yep, yep. So yeah, Sota, watch
(10:17):
you figuring that out. Because we have things that happens
like this.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
It's technology, absolutely, and technology always fails us when we
need it the most.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
See she knows talk about this talk about being a strong,
smart woman in India. That's that's not really looked on abob,
is it from what she've done? Is it? Especially if
you're really intelligent.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, you summed it up very well. And that's why
that's not my favorite destination because of all the challenges
that I went through, though I will have to say
that even I overcame the challenges ironically in India, so
I have to give that perspective as well. But it's
very difficult and hard, precisely because of all the reasons
(10:59):
you already be identified.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Exactly, and that's the whole thing about that. So I'm
still stuck on that, Howard. That she's listened to you
in Singapore.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh so since Terry jumped on so, uh, Terry, she's
she's in Singapore and it's Wednesday morning, twelve minutes after
eight in the morning. Uh so she listens to our
show because she has problems sleeping, just like Tower. And
I now, did we lose Terry? Oh, it's gonna be
one of these shows. I get it, I get it right.
(11:36):
All right, I'm going back to the basics. I'm sticking
with you, all right, talk about this, talk about against
all odds. See all right, So here comes hot, here
comes Terry. See, I know we're gonna have one of
these shows. Nor do we have sound on you?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
So do I continue? Because I see she's coming back, She's.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Coming hy do we have we have sound on you?
They can't hear you? I don't know. That's interesting. And
Terry's disappeared, Howard. We know all about this, don't we.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Yeah, well, we put on a dance video or something.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Hi, we can't we can't hear you for some strange reason.
It's interesting, come back, go out and come back in again.
Let's see if it's just a connection. It might be that.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Okay, before you do that. On, let's make sure that
your microphone is. Are you on a laptop or desktop.
If you're on a laptop, do you have an external
microphone attached to it, or just the laptop microphone if
it's If it's the if you have another microphone plugged in,
you have to go to the settings and tell the
settings that. In settings, go to audio and make sure
(12:46):
it's picking up the camera that you want, I mean,
not the camera, the audio microphone that you wanted to.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
Hy Terry, Hi, sorry about that.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
I'm at a hotel, so I don't know what was
going on with the internet.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Oh I could tell you what's going on. We're in
a retrograde and it's strong. I already know. Okay, I
already know, so Ty, Why Ty, she's looking looking at
her settings on things? Terry, tell everybody who you are
what's going on?
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Hi? Ready, I'm a little under the weather, so I'm
taking some tea. You just have a little bit of
a sort of throat. But this is Terry. Marie been
with Brian for over ten years being red carpet hosting.
I'm a fitness competitor, actress. They called me NonStop for
a lot of reasons, and I just want to let
everybody know that I just had a very interesting night
last night. I stayed at the Madonna Inn in Sandili's
(13:33):
Obispo place is amazing. Every room in that hotel is
like a different theme and it's like it's it's just incredible.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I am.
Speaker 9 (13:43):
I'm I'm gonna do some videos on it, Brian, But like,
I just, yeah, that was just it was an experience.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
That's good to know. And you've got some rest, you
got a chance to reflect that. Yeah, you got to
show us. You got to tell us about your background,
because this one is different.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Bro, Bro, I'm stilling. Roy Wiggins play still guitar for
Eddie Arnold. I'm known for kissing Dolly Pardon. When I
was young. My dad played with Lorie Morgan still guitar
for her.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Also.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Uh, the street I grew up in had Bobby Lord's,
Peter Davis, Ralph Hemery, Kim and Brown Let's see, and
then my stepfather.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Charlie Bowsley, who was Brenda Lee's Uh. He raised Brenda
Lee after her parents died. Let's see, so.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
And pretty much my dad started Brentwood, the area here
in Nashville because when e Arnould hard him, he heard
him for life. When Eddie went to pop music or
more current music, he put dead into real estate. And
that's why all the opera stars live in the Brentwood
area here in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And I've been relaying a lot of that message when
it comes to that too. So miss Smith, let's see,
do we have a sign on you? Let's see this
time we do, don't we?
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Y'all can hear me?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah? All right, Hey, it's about now hiring. Now you're hired.
Let's talk about you.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It's not easy doing a lot of these things, is it.
It's also not easy being you of what you created.
Talk about who you are, where you're coming from, and
what's happening with your show and everything.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
Okay, I hadn't heard you mentioned.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
First of all, I apologize, guys for all the malfunctions
and coming to your show. I've been waiting to come
on your show for the longest time and then all
that stuff happened.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
So I do apologize. So thanks for having me first.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I don't worry about it because it happens. Yes, I
did it.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Yeah, but I.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Heard you say earlier about Nini Leeks. I used to
work for Nini Leeks and I worked for her for
about three and a half years, almost four years. I
was her personal assistant at a store called Swag Boutique
that was located in a MGM casino in Oxen.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Hill, Maryland. And what I did was I.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Managed a store there and it was so many dysfunctional
employees there.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
And they never got along with each other.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
They didn't respect my position at the time because I
was younger coming and trying to manage, like you know,
people that was like either my age or older or
younger didn't really want to listen to me. And I
was kind of like stuck in the middle at that
moment in my life. And it made me feel like, Okay,
you know what, this looked like a show. I feel
like these employees in the store can actually be like
(16:18):
a show. And if I had a show, I would
call it now hiring and I will fire all of them.
So that's where the idea came from.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Originated from that.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
So what I did was I end up creating a
show and using some of the employees from the store
from working with her, and we have.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
An amazing show.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
And basically what I do now is I'm a celebrity
booking agent and I find celebrities and if they need
any kind of bookings as far as like in the
clubs or lounges or weddings, you know, as far as
them singing.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Or rapping or poetry.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I mean just any genre that they're in, I find
bookings for them. Me and my team which is employees
from Swag, a lot of employees from Swag, and you know,
we just try to create this great dynamic on our
show to try to find work. But while we're finding
where it's a lot of dysfunctional stuff still going on
because my memory, they are in dysfunctional employees. So you know,
I try to figure out who can last the longest
(17:19):
and who's really doing it because I have a real
celebrity booking agency, which is a real.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Business, and I just turned it into a show. But
it's a lot of foolishness on the show.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
So who So, whoever really books the talent, they get
to stay on the show, but whoever doesn't at the
end of the show, I'll be firing them.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
At the end of probably each season.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Actually, yeah, talk about this. It's not easy doing those
because a lot of celebrities, they you know, they demand
things right away, and if you can't get it, you know,
you say it, you're fired right away. Not still from
President Trump, you know, because I was there when he
did Celebrity Apprentice. Yes, all right, So you just never
know what's going to happen to people and where they're
(18:01):
going to go on to next. And I know, Howard
can we can relate to that, and Terry can definitely
relate to that. And we were talking about this earlier
because you know when Howard how you could talk about this.
When you walk into a store, you know exactly what
you're looking for. You know, if someone's going to be
able to find you what you want and you don't
have time to waste, see you, Howard.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
No, I pretty much if I if I tell them
I'm a designer, I can pretty much do it on
my own. And when I help other people, if they
say their designer, I let them do it.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
They know what they do. I know what I know.
So you know, just but a lot.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Of people don't let you help them, and that's a
hindrance because a lot of people need help, but they
just won't ask for it, So that could it can
work the other way also.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yes, yes, and you're all right. So say, for example,
I don't know you, Howard, but just say your favorite
candy of Skittles and you come into your book and
your Skittles is not there. That can literally cause it
a celebrity to be like, Okay.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
You know what I'm leaving. My things are not ray.
You know, everything is not going the way it's supposed
to go. One little hiccup can cause me a whole contract.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
So you know, you would see all those things displayed
on the show that we've been working on. We just
finished our Triller two weekends ago and right now we're
just currently working on a whole bunch of different episodes
that's supposed to come out very very soon. I mean
I'm speaking to like a lot of different networks trying
to figure out which network I want to go to.
But it's going to come out very very soon as
(19:29):
fall fingers crossed, and it's going to be a great show.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I look forward to that. That'll be actually pretty good.
Can you say who you would like to have or
you can't say that quite yet like who.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
I would like to have as a celebrity that come
on a show.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, that and the network.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
As far as the network, my number one network to
me is Bravo because the type of show that this is, like,
it's a very classy.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Show, was an old school show and I remember, like back.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
In the day, like the show like Mosha Sister Sister,
and you know, remember the TGIF.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Moment that came on TV.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I'm trying to bring that back to television because I
don't feel like that that era is here anymore and
I miss seeing that era. That was like a fun
era for me in my life when I was growing up,
and I just want to see that back on television.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I don't want to see fighting and bickering too much.
You know, I think that people like the modern day,
like teenagers like eighteen to even to like sixty.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
I feel like that's the age group that will love my.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Show, and even older honestly, And I'm saying that because
the age range from the people that work on my show,
they are from eighteen all the way to like to
sixty five.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
So this show is literally for everybody. Because it's a
business show.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It's actually to me if I had to compare it
to any show, which my show was like no other.
But if I had to compare it to any show
business wise, I would say it's more like a selling
Sunset and it's just more like it's career driven. But
it's a whole bunch of drama without fighting physically. You know,
the girls like they shade each other, like with their
hair and they clothes and like the little you know words,
(21:06):
you know how women can be a little caddy sometime
with fashion. So that's the type of show I have
while they are also trying to get business done all
at the same time.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Now, I want you to meet someone from Singapore. So
it's it's about almost a thirty in the morning Wednesday
morning from Singapore. He listens to our shows occasionally because
she has problems sleeping. So you never imagine if this
young lady's Sajata. Imagine if she walked in because she's
been to the US or one of her daughter Both
of her daughters live in the United States a matter
of fact, but she's in Singapore. Imagine if she walked
(21:37):
in with her book against all odds and he said,
you know, I'm not getting the support that I want
to how can you help me? What would you say
to her? Because she is here right now? So all right,
I'm challenging because you just never know, you know, these
things we have to be on. When they want something,
you have to give them what they want. What would
you say.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
If she said that she needed to support right now?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, Sajaja, I'm pretty words in.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Well, first of all, I would.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I would.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I'm a boss, so I would tell her any kind
of support she needs. My name is TI, and I
am here to help in any aspect and I can
get the job done first, fast and effectively. So I'm
not sure what type of help she would want or
what type of support she would want, but my business
has all help, all aspects of help, and you know,
(22:25):
anything that she may need help with, I'm not sure
directly with that may be. It can be fashion, it
can be just her being shy and she needs somebody
to talk to.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
I've got consultation.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I actually have a journal book that's out now that
I've been working with with someone, and I was trying
to give you guys the name of it. It's a
journal that one of my consultants work, and I'll work.
I'm so sorry, she wrote, And a lot of the
girls on the cast we all writing it like our
daily like lesson plans or our daily activities that we're doing,
(22:57):
and it really helps out. And I will have the
name of that Jordan. I'm so sorry before this conversation ends.
But that can be like a great help of support
for you as well.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
To see, and that's a good thing.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
So I've got a question.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
So I got a question if the if the celebrity
has a goal and they relate to you, what that
goal is, you help them reach it? Or do you
want the celebrity to tell you what they need or
do you figure out what they need.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Well before the celebrity comes. Usually I know what they
need already before they come. But anything can happen, that
can any hiccup. Let's say for example, Okay, so one
of the celebrities that I book a lot, he's like
one of my primary celebrities.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
His name is Little Scrappy.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with Little Scrappy,
but Little Scrappy is like my first celebrity I've ever
booked for. His manager, actually his name is Champagne, and
he the person that taught me how to book. Now, say,
for example, a little scrappy come here. He's prepared and
he has his music. I have to give the DJ
his music for him to app I have to give
(24:01):
him the songs this playlist. But let's just say, for example,
he gets on that mic, and this happened on one
of my episodes. I'm kind of giving y'all a little
bit of my episode real quick. He gets on the
mic and then the mic don't work, and he's rapping.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
And everyone think.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
That, okay, they can hear Well, he thinks everyone can
hear them because he has his earpieces in, but no
one can hear him. So it would be my job
to try to figure that out, to try to figure
out why is Mike not working, Who was in charge
of the mic not working, Who need to be fired
for the night? The mic not working? What happened during
the playlist? Well, you know, it's a whole bunch of
different things that can happen. So the answer to that
(24:39):
is that I will be supportive in any aspect before
he gets there and whatever happens after he gets there
and when he get there, and your for.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The record, your your Instagram is everybody loves everybody loves
time or everybody loves time.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Everybody loved time.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
But it's so funny that you said that, because everybody
always asks me that everybody loves ty would ask so
I'm thinking.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
About editing and my Instagram.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well that's what I want because I just followed you
because I don't like to just follow anybody. It's got
to be something there, because the else I'd be following everybody,
you know, and I'm not that guy. I usually meet
people that's you know, gifting suitees or you know, in
the events, you know, across country, and then I prefer
that I like that or you know, when they come
on our show, because you know, so Joatha, she's in Singapore,
(25:28):
so it's one of those things. I got a chance
to meet her and her daughter and I immediately liked her,
and she goes, Brian, when are you gonna have be
on my show? I'm like, well, what? Four months? Books
in advance always, so I'm like, and then I had
to find the right time, and then you have communication
problems with everything, you know, and it's one of those
things like we always have four co hosts. Two of
them are sit you know, Terry Sick she's still meeting
(25:51):
you know Rachel in Houston, Texas. She's going through stuff.
Carol had to pick up family, and you know, Natasha
to Miami, Florida. He's moved into a new apartments, so
she's still moving into all this stuff. And she's a singer,
so you just never know what's going on and stuff.
So I like that, I go buy energy and that's
what the show is on. So to not to tell
her about your book Against All Odds, because I know
(26:12):
you're coming back to the United States. I don't know when,
but if your daughter invited me to Seattle, I know
you're going to make the surprise sometime soon. She's laughing.
You're mute, You're still are met. There you go.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
So I'm an author and my book Against All Odds,
No Retakes, no manuals, Real Life Lessons is my autobiography
and like I joking, these sakes for being murdered, I've
covered it all. So whatever kind of thing that you
can think of, life challenges and life altering moments, it's
all there in the book, including my meeting with God
(26:51):
as I film it during my worst the challenging life.
So that's a book of courage. Resilience and also to
inspire people to take action when there is no support,
there is nobody and there is a situation which you
must handle. That's what my book is all about. I
will say this that my now goal is for anybody
(27:14):
who's listening, I have two things. One is to make
the book beater movie, as has been suggested by readers
who have read my book and given their review. And
the other is I also have a sick form which
I would like interview, you know, come on TV. Those
are my two things.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
And you've you've had a lot of certificates lately that
in things that you want talk a little bit about those.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
So you know, Like I do a lot of volunteering,
and in that volunteering, like in Singapore, I do a
lot of mentoring with all kinds of people. My mentees
are from fifteen year olds to above across the globe,
so I can mentor students, I mentor the inmates who
(28:02):
are rehabilitating in society. I also go on outreach programs
with homeless. So wherever I can make a difference or
I can impact even one life, I do that.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That's important, especially when it comes to faith, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:21):
So like suicide prevention. That also, I have done some
certifications and courses and I'm a keynote speaker on a
lot many platforms on all these subjects.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Around the world, aren't you Yes, yeah, you know, you know.
I started telling a lot of people it's not easy
being you and talking about what you've done, because, like
I said, women aren't really looked highly about in India.
You're supposed to be gibbird subservent. But when happens when
you're smart as you are, like your daughter is you know,
(28:55):
I've only met one of them so far. She wants
me to meet the other one because she's in Los Angeles,
And I said, I would you know, because Ty, we're
here to help people. Are you know what it's like
to start in that BOUTI Howard knows what it's like
to be the father of someone who's famous. And Howard
is famous, you know. You know, Terry's parents grew up
working for Disney. So it's one of those things where
you just never know who you're going to meet. And Terry,
(29:17):
did you did you meet remember meeting Sajada at Heather's event?
Did you meet her? Terry kaneers? I think she's having problems,
but you know, it's it's one of those things where, hey,
you never know when you're going to meet people, you
never know what's going to happen. But be nice, be
kind to people. That's all it takes, right.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Howard, Absolutely, absolutely, And you never know who knows who
and like you tell me who, Well, yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Know it's t talk about this. Did you know this
was always going to be a reality show?
Speaker 8 (29:52):
No, let me say this really quickly.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
So when I started going back to nine Leaks, when
I started working for Nini, were supposed to get a
spin off show called Swag I want to say swagged
Out or either Swag. It was a spinoff show that
was supposed to happen from Real Housewives of Atlanta and
it was going to be about all the stuff that
(30:15):
was going on in the store because literally, if you
came in a store, you could feel the tension between
all the employees.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
But it's so crazy how it was so much tension.
But we just worked so well together.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I know it sounds crazy, but we just well, we
just worked so well together and all that dysfunction, right,
And we had an incident that.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
Occurred right before mister Gray passed away.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
It was so bad and it was like the real
personalities of everyone coming out.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
And we was only there for two weeks, our first
two weeks.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Of work, and I remember everybody in an MGM casino
was recording us on their camera phones because they thought
we was acting and we was not acting. That's how
crazy it was. And I mean she wanted to make
a show from that moment, but it just never happened
because unfortunately, when it's a great passed away, she left
(31:10):
the store go because it reminds her of her husband.
Speaker 8 (31:12):
So she was like, ty, I gotta let the store go,
you know.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
And she had three locations. I managed a couple of
other locations. She had one in Atlanta, she.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
Had one in Miami.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
But she just let them go because mister Gray, he
created that store for a misneding and he wanted the
store to showcase her fashion and who she really is
and you know, outside of Housewives of Atlanta. So when
she gave me an opportunity, I just thought it was amazing.
And I just feel like, like Howard said, you never
(31:45):
know who knows who, and you know you have to
treat and me as a person, I treat the janitor
to the top, the same. I'm the same all the
way around, you know, but I will say this the
blimous subliminal. My name is sub Blimoo. Everybody do not
love Tie. Some people hate Tie, and I want to
(32:07):
set everybody hate Tie, but only because they hate my
managing skills.
Speaker 8 (32:14):
Yes, but when.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
You get to know me as a person, you would
grow to love me as a person. You know, sometime
when you manage people, they don't they're not they they're
not interested in exactly and listening to you.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
So you know, that's what kind of comes with being
a boss. You know.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
I hate to say that, but it's kind of come
with being a boss. Some people love you, some people
hate you, and that's just kind of what it is.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
What state are you in right now?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I'm in a place called Bristow, Virginia that's close to
the DNB area of DC.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
I'm about forty five minutes away from Washington, DC.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Okay, is that is that where it's going to take place?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Yes, it's going to be in a D and B
the whole DNB area. Yes, And we don't have a
lot of shows in the DNB area. I know it's
one show. I think it's called I know Colos King
wrote it. I think it's called hunters Field. It's a
spin off show that I member something Callos King wrote
(33:11):
and I know they located in Washington, d C.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
They do like a lot of shows here. But it's
nothing like my show. I'm not trying to take away
from his show, but it's nothing like my show. My
show is just off the charts funny.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
It's very comedic, it's very dramatic, and I would like
to invite you guys too, if you would ever love
to come on as a guest.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
In an instant, you will love it.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I'm telling you, I'm so serious.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
And I will say this.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
With my booking agency, we cover the flights, we cover
your hotel, and you know, we cover some of the food.
And I say some of the food because some of
y'all celebrities can be very expensive to take care of.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
The type for the audience around the world, what is
the some of the most worst things that any celebrities
that you had to deal with done, and what are
some of the best things that some of them done?
Because I'm sure we know some of the same people
and I have no bones about telling stories on the shows.
I won't put it on social media, but I tell
them because some of them are pasted, a lot of
(34:21):
them are alive, a lot of them have been on
the show. I don't hide anything on the show.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yes, well, I will say this and creating my show,
and I keep bringing up with me because a lot
of my show concepts and ideas came from the drama
from Swag. So I remember it was a while ago
when I first met her, and I didn't know her
at all, but it was so much drama going into
the show.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
I mean not to show.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
I'm so sorry the store at that time that all
the girls were just going at it and lying on
each other. And I wasn't from the area. I'm not
from the DNB area. I'm originally from Brooklyn, New York.
But I had came from the Virginia Beach area and
I'm moved to the D and B area to work
for her because she asked me to move there.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
I had an interview with her, and you know, I
just moved there.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
So when the girls met me, they thought I was
from Atlanta and they was spreading this big roomor in
a store, and I remember Miss Ninnie said, you could
never win when you play dirty, and I was like me,
it was like I just got here. I was like,
I just got here. I was on here for two weeks,
you know, it was like what happened? So later on
within like working with her, she apologized to me and
(35:30):
we became really cool, and her mister Greg honestly was
like almost like godparents to me in a sense. They
really watched out for me the whole entire.
Speaker 8 (35:37):
Time I was there.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
So answering your question to like, one of the worst
things that happened to me with a celebrity, I would
say outside of my show, that's what happened. Now, the
worst thing that happened to me with my show with
a celebrity, I would say, a little scrappy. Going back
to him, I remember when I first met him.
Speaker 8 (35:58):
I tripped over his foot in the club and it
was just so embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
And it was embarrassing because I almost made him trip
on the stage in front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Oh wow.
Speaker 8 (36:10):
So yeah, So that was a very don't do apologize
by camera. Phone just fell. That was a very embarrassing
moment for me.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
A great moment for me was when I had booked
Young Jock. Are you familiar with young Jock the rapper Young. Yes, Yes,
I booked him. And when I booked him, my books
had met a club actually in Richmond with one of
my booking agents, and the booking from start to finish
went perfect.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
It went so perfect until the end, sorry, until the
very very end.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
The very end was he was supposed to I think
at the time before like five songs or something. And
usually a lot of clients they we take a deposit
for them, They get their deposit and then when it
gets to the club to get the other half in
hand with the owner of the club owner like cash.
Speaker 8 (37:04):
They don't take checks, they take cash of hand.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
And I remember one of the club owners did not
have cash and was trying to cash at film. And
you know, like I said, everything went perfect until the end,
and you just cannot cash.
Speaker 8 (37:16):
App a manager, you cannot sit a check.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
So if you ever try to book a celebrity, you
have to pay half and half. That's usually how we
do business, or you just pay a full booking fee
and hole. So that's the only thing that I could
really think of. It was nothing like too alarming or
too bad. I have to say some stuff for the show.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
That's true. Hey, Terry, did we have you?
Speaker 9 (37:39):
Yeah, I'm here the internet, but I think I got
it fixed, so I'm going in and out.
Speaker 8 (37:44):
Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Do you remember when The Housewives of Orange County first
came on? Did you watch that? Did you watch any
of those shows or the Osbornes.
Speaker 9 (37:53):
Remember my mom watched The Orange County Housewives religiously and
then she stopped watching it when it got too crazy.
I watching coming home, like, yeah, So is that answer
your question?
Speaker 6 (38:06):
So?
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Yeah. The reason I said that because you know, TCA
Television Critic Association, we always did new and returning TV shows.
This is where all the shows come from, and you know,
they come on stage, we would talk to them, they'd
be at the after the All Star party, we would
mingle with them, and then literally three or six months later,
sometimes a year later, they're huge stars. Whether it's porn stars,
(38:30):
Storage Walls, the Real Housewives of Atlanta, all of this
came out of from the Orange Housewives of Orange County.
That was the very first one. But going back before that,
you have the Osborns are the osbourne They were just
sensational shows and they haven't stopped and they will never
go away. So you know, even soota. Even when it
comes to a lot of the you know you think
(38:51):
of Bollywood. Bollywood has always made more movies, more TV
shows than Hollywood. You can't get away from that. Now
they've crossed over the next Netflix. All the shows that
I see from India, Pakistan, Singapore, Korea, South Korea, they're
all on Netflix. Now there's just a dang a TV shows.
It's unbelievable when you're not writing, when you're not helping people,
(39:12):
Are you watching TV or are you listening to music?
You're asking me, Ah, yes, I am.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
I don't think there are many or few people who
don't watch TV. You will watch TV at some point
or the other and depending on what interests you. But
it's also about timing. So yes, if I don't sleep
in the night, then I will watch TV music. I
have my own playlist of music which I do like
(39:43):
to listen to whenever I have the time. You I
think may or may not know that. I have a
podcast too, which is called Hangout with Sujata, and I
invite people to share their very personal stories which they've
never shared with everybody, because that's a platform I gift
to people to inspire other people, and that podcast is
(40:07):
slightly different in the sense that I ask my guests
to come with the playlist of songs which they tie
up with their journeys.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Oh, I love that. That's a good idea. All right,
So when am I coming on your show? Because I
can tell you my number one song is Ain't Manhill.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
You have to find time, Brian, You're a very busy person.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I could find time. That's not an issue.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
You have the time and when your playlist of songs
is ready.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Just you know my song Listen, I'm way ahead of you.
I'm ready, just like I'm gonna go see Tie now
because you know she's got my interest with this. I
just gotta figure out how I can squeeze in if
I You guys don't even know. I gotta go to
Little Rock, Arkansas for forty eight hours at the end
of August. I'm going to Canada. When is it August
(40:52):
seventh through the eleventh? You know your daughter wants me
to see her for forty eight hours or twenty four
hours in Seattle. I'm like, I can't keep doing all.
I'm not twenty thirty years old, you know, but I'm
doing my best, you know. Yeah, And don't ask me
to go to single. Well, I would come visit you
at Singapore, but I just have to know when.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
To say that that. Why don't you come to Singapore?
Speaker 5 (41:12):
Okay, so I'm going Brian.
Speaker 9 (41:17):
You know, I supposed to be going to Singapore in
for December November because my friend lives there.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Oh well then, so John, and let me ask you this.
When's the best time to come to Singapore?
Speaker 9 (41:28):
Then?
Speaker 4 (41:28):
Anytime? Because Singapore doesn't have really seasons, so it has
a constant weather of hot, humidity and rains. But everything
is mostly air conditioned here, so it's quite okay and easy.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Oh that's right, that's right, all right. So what's the
hottest it'll get? What's the coldest it'll get?
Speaker 4 (41:49):
Oldest? I don't think there's something like coldest hot is
the any Asian country? I think that is hot is there.
But it's pretty easy. You get used to it.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
I can't get used to it. Yeah, it doesn't bother me,
but other people, you know, usually it's the white people
that melt hun terry, you know, they can't take it.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
Mostly it's got the best public transport in the world
and everything is air condition so unless you want to
go out in the heat and walk and jog and
do all that stuff that's up to you. But otherwise
(42:30):
you can walk.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
Here.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
Many places you can't walk. This is one country where
you can walk. And yes, everything indoors. When you feel hot,
you just go into a small restaurant or anything.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Give your social media links for everybody and where and
how they can find your book.
Speaker 4 (42:46):
My book is available across the globe on all Amazon platforms.
It's available if you do a search. Even I've been
surprised to see that this is like Walmart or Phosco
or something they also have online. You can order my
book those who are in Singapore. I always meet up
with people. I take them out for a meal and
(43:08):
I give them an author signed copy and we have
meaningful conversations.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
And when are you coming back to the US. You're
coming back anytime soon?
Speaker 4 (43:17):
Not anytime soon. I came this this this year only,
and it is difficult to go to US, long fly
hours and the weather and all one has to see.
But definitely once a year I do both. So maybe
next year I will go.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Well, I have to say, it was an honor and
pleasure to meet you and your daughter, and I think
about it, you know when I do our shows, you know.
You know, sometimes I say hi to you. I'm talking
to you in Singapore. Friends.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
No, because if you're on WhatsApp, then you're always connected.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Absolutely so Ta you never know when you're coming on
a shop, you should have me, you know. And that's
the fun thing about it. And she listens to our show,
you know, pretty much religiously because she can't sleep.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
It's not only I can't sleep, but I do like
your shows. And when sometimes you forget to tell me, Brian,
but your guests know me and they tell me that
they're going to be on your show. Then I say
give me the link and then I come on your show.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
That's right, and I send it to you right away,
don't I all right, give your social media links one
more last time, followed by Howard.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Go ahead, Oh you've already one more time, clearly go
ahead to Jata ahead, that link is already have posted you.
It's the LinkedIn social media. I have other social media,
but I'm not very active on it. I have to admit,
so Instagram, Facebook, they're all there. But if somebody wants
(44:47):
to really connect, it's on WhatsApp. I always give my
number very openly and generously And it's in my book,
it's in my LinkedIn. You just have to connect with
me on what's happen there you go.
Speaker 5 (45:00):
Howard Howard Wiggins Facebook and Instagram and of course movies
reviews and more. And it's the plain Howard Wiggins, not
Howard Wiggins interior design.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah, you gotta make that clear because uh, that's that's
a big difficult Terry, Terry.
Speaker 9 (45:16):
I'm sorry, my internet's going crazy. Yeah, Terry Marina stop
on all platforms.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
And ty what would make people watch this Future Show?
And I believe Robel should get it, and I think
they will get.
Speaker 8 (45:26):
It, thank you. I think that everybody should watch The
Future Show because it's hilarious, it's dramatic.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Everybody is being true to who they really are. They're
not actors. These are these real people personalities, and I
think that a lot of the entertainment aspect of the
show will draw a lot of attention to the show
once everybody see a different celebrity on each episode that
I have appeared.
Speaker 8 (45:51):
Coming for my season that's.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
About to start and give you social media again.
Speaker 8 (45:55):
Yes, is everybody love without the s Hi t Y?
Everybody loved Tie.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
And so why should everybody love.
Speaker 8 (46:04):
Tie, because everybody should love me because I'm tied.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
That would be See that's a Howard Wiggans answer itself.
Just so that you know Howard's dad started the Grandell Lobberry.
You should send him a ticket. That would be fascinating
to see. I'd love to see that one. A personal
Howard walking in because Howard could dressing anything I did.
Speaker 5 (46:30):
I did have a job where when I got first
got to the job, everybody thought I was undercover balls.
So I dressed well, I look like I'm wealthy, and
they thought you're undercover balls, aren't you.
Speaker 6 (46:42):
I'm like, no, we're Howard.
