00:04Special guests

00:11Who's here Corey?
00:12What? You showed me the receipts?
00:13No, I'm going to read your receipts
00:16It's a very important part of the show
00:18I'm ready for my receipts
00:20Multi-talented
00:23Boom, I'm the boom girl
00:25She had her own show
00:28On a very popular network
00:29And now she's brought it back
00:30The remix
00:31Boom
00:32Then she did a little stop
00:36On the view
00:37Boom
00:38A little host
00:39For like four years
00:42Two years
00:44Barely
00:44At 19 you were already a producer

01:14It's hard to hear
01:15There was already a series
01:17You know you
01:18I know we know you for the Cosby Show
01:19But there's also a Hangin' with Mr. Cooper
01:21Which doesn't get enough
01:23Credit
01:24Severely underrated
01:26Very, very underrated
01:27Nell Carter, let's not stop
01:28Okay
01:29Let's not forget
01:31Oh, right
01:32Goodings

01:35All Star
01:36All Star
01:36All Star
01:37All Star
01:37We're gonna do
01:38Let's do an article about that
01:39Yes
01:39Okay
01:40So who's here, Kori?
01:41Wait, I'm not finished
01:42Oh, you're not done?
01:44Yes
01:44Is this the credit card
01:46Or is this the checking account?
01:49More receipts
01:49Just the way it's set up
01:51It's just going
01:51Girl
01:52Then we're gonna get to Broadway
01:53Oh
01:54Let's do that
01:55Which is sometimes known as the Great White Way
01:57But not when Raymond Simone was on it
01:59Okay
01:59Okay
02:01Yes
02:01I love it
02:01She was in Sister Act
02:03And then there were Albums
02:04With an S
02:06And then she also, you know
02:08Returns to Blackish every now and then
02:09Master of None
02:11Dr. Doolittle
02:12Kori
02:14Raven
02:15Simone
02:16Welcome
02:17Y'all know what I wanted to say
02:19But we know better
02:20We're staying on brand
02:21We're staying on brand
02:22Welcome, boo
02:23Thank you so much
02:24That was quite a moment
02:26I thank you for that
02:26You're welcome
02:27Because people try intros
02:28Everybody
02:29I'm just like
02:30Thank you for that
02:30Receipts
02:31Receipts
02:31We like to keep it authentic
02:33Yeah
02:33Like, you know
02:34Let everybody know who you are
02:35Well, I appreciate that
02:36Thank you so much for having me
02:38And reading that down
02:39Because some of those I forgot
02:40See
02:41How does it feel to be
02:44As famous
02:44And as accomplished
02:45As you've been for so long
02:47I don't feel as famous
02:48As those receipts
02:49Because that is not my goal
02:51In the industry
02:52To feel famous
02:53It feels amazing
02:55That I'm able to have titles
02:56As I continue to grow
02:57Inside of the industry
02:59Eping
03:00Raven's Home
03:01Producing the last few seasons
03:03Of That's So Raven
03:04And College Road Trip
03:06And hopefully
03:07As my career grows
03:08Within the Disney Channel
03:09Directing and producing
03:11More shows
03:12That is my goal
03:13Because
03:14I'm not here to be famous
03:16That is a byproduct
03:17I've got to know
03:19How does it feel
03:20You have that series
03:21For so long
03:22You have a certain
03:23Age group
03:24Now you have
03:24A new age group
03:25My 8 year old daughter
03:26Is right outside
03:27I'm just gonna be real
03:28I ran and got her
03:29From school
03:29Because I was like
03:29You will meet
03:30Raven Simone today
03:31It's what you gonna do
03:33I will get my mommy
03:34Cool points
03:34I'm gonna get all of them
03:36I know your friends
03:36Can't come
03:37Okay
03:37Okay
03:38Can I brand
03:39No
03:40But seriously
03:41We watch Raven's Home
03:42Every Friday night
03:43We love it
03:44It's funny
03:45Thank you
03:45When you did that
03:46Segment
03:47You gonna get it
03:48And when you were
03:49Afraid of the clown
03:50Thank you
03:51I love it
03:52So how does it feel
03:53Circling back
03:54Does it feel full circle
03:55It definitely feels full circle
03:57For many obvious reasons
03:59Being back at the Disney Channel
04:01Replaying Raven Baxter
04:02But also because
04:03I'm working with
04:05Very very talented
04:06Young actors and actresses
04:08That I'm able to
04:09In my capacity
04:12Give back
04:12Like I've done a lot
04:14Of different work
04:14In the community
04:15And things of that nature
04:16But what I learned
04:18I'm actually able
04:19To pass down
04:20To someone
04:22That is not blood
04:24And so it feels
04:26It feels interesting
04:28I definitely don't feel old
04:29I'm 32
04:30But I definitely feel
04:32Like I've been sitting
04:34In a pan for a while
04:35You know what I'm saying
04:37I'm gonna cast iron
04:38Take me out the oven
04:41A little bit
04:41You know I'm done
04:42But you want me crispy
04:44Okay I got it
04:45I love it
04:46But I'm not all the way
04:47Dried out
04:48So
04:49Not the cast iron
04:51Can we get a moment
04:52For the cast iron
04:52I'm not cast iron old
04:54But I'm feeling that way
04:56Because of the fact
04:57That when you're in the industry
04:58Since you were three
05:00And I'm 32
05:01Normal
05:02And in
05:03I hate
05:04I hate using that word
05:05But in other careers
05:06You know
05:08If you're in an industry
05:09For 30 years
05:10You're at retirement stage
05:11True
05:12Well maybe not
05:13In this climate
05:13But you know
05:14Back in the day
05:15Used to be
05:15So I'm like
05:16Do I
05:16Wow
05:17I don't know
05:18So
05:21Yet you're still having
05:22New beginnings
05:23Exactly
05:23So it feels good
05:25Right
05:25Feels good
05:26What are some of the things
05:27That you're teaching
05:27That younger generation
05:28I love Nivia on the show
05:30She's really fantastic
05:31Let me
05:31I love you
05:32Navia
05:33Oh thank you for correcting me
05:34Sorry hunty
05:35Because we had to make it happen
05:36And she gave you the love too though
05:37That was like
05:38Thank you
05:38That was a way
05:39That was
05:40Constructive criticism
05:41With love
05:42With love
05:43See that sisterhood
05:44And you know
05:44When you read
05:45Like when you read it
05:46You know what I mean
05:47Sometimes you say it
05:48Everybody messes it up
05:49People have messed up my name
05:50But you know
05:51You gotta stick it up
05:52For your peeps
05:52How do people mess up your name
05:53So my correct pronunciation
05:55Of my name
05:56Is Raven Simone
05:57Oh
05:58So we just did
05:59Oh we just did
06:00But it's so ridiculous
06:01Only time somebody says
06:02My name right
06:03Is in France
06:04Or in Canada
06:04Got it
06:05Because they see that accent
06:06They go off
06:07But that's about it
06:08You were asking me a question
06:10About
06:11Teaching the youth
06:13Teaching the youth
06:14And your co-star
06:15Back to the youth
06:16So
06:17What I do
06:19And we've been talking
06:21About it all day
06:22And I've kind of
06:23Narrowed it down
06:23I would like to
06:25Teach them the fundamentals
06:26Of
06:27The game
06:29Kobe
06:29I'm not necessarily
06:32Teaching them how to be famous
06:33It's more of
06:35What you need to know
06:36Behind the scenes
06:37That hopefully
06:37Will give you the longevity
06:38And the good
06:40Chatter box
06:42When you leave the set
06:44You need to be on time
06:45You need to be professional
06:46You need to make sure
06:47That you are not on your phone
06:49At every three seconds
06:50Of the day
06:50Even though I understand
06:51It's social media life
06:52But if it wasn't for
06:53The work that you do
06:55You wouldn't have
06:55A social media life
06:57Being prepared
06:59Doing your research
07:00And all the things
07:01That I was
07:02Required
07:03That I was required
07:04To do
07:05When I was growing up
07:06And
07:07It's funny
07:08Because they're like
07:08Raven
07:09I said
07:10I can't help you
07:11Any other way
07:11Other than to give you
07:12The fundamentals
07:13Because after that
07:13You use them
07:14They marinate inside of you
07:17And then
07:18When I see other things
07:19You may need
07:19Ask me any question
07:20You need to
07:21About anything else
07:22But I can't really
07:23Work with you
07:24On 100
07:24Unless you sit
07:25At the base point
07:26With me
07:27And they're building
07:27Their reputation
07:28You're teaching them
07:29Something that's essential
07:30And I think
07:31I want to
07:32I love doing that
07:33For anybody I run into
07:34A lot of people ask me
07:35You know
07:36What are some
07:37Words of wisdom
07:38That you can give kids
07:39Right
07:39And I always say
07:40You got to stay professional
07:41If you want to be
07:42In this industry
07:43It's great honey
07:44You get makeup
07:45And hair
07:45You get money
07:46But you need
07:48To be on time
07:48Okay
07:49And you need
07:50To get a lawyer
07:50And you need
07:51To get a right
07:52Accountant
07:52And you need
07:53To make sure
07:54You know
07:54Where your money
07:55Is going
07:55And they forget
07:57To say that
07:57Yeah
07:58And then you have
07:58Problems
07:59So I'm weird
08:01And you have
08:02To teach them
08:02How else would they know
08:03Someone who's been
08:03There before them
08:04That's really
08:05It's important
08:06That you're passing that down
08:07Thank you
08:08And other people
08:09Did to me
08:09And I felt like
08:10It was up to me
08:11To do the same
08:11And I like too
08:12That you
08:12Is it particularly
08:14Do you doing this
08:14With kids of color
08:16Or this generation
08:17Of color
08:17Or is it anyone
08:18It's everyone
08:18Because everyone
08:19Needs the information
08:20Not just kids
08:21Kids of all colors
08:22Let's say that
08:23Yes I do it
08:24To kids of all colors
08:25Sorry guys
08:27And who did it for you
08:28Like you were saying
08:29My parents did it for me
08:30People I worked with on set
08:32People that I've come across
08:33You know you have
08:33Your Debbie Allens
08:34You have your
08:34Jennifer Lewis
08:35As I was just talking to
08:36You have fantastic
08:38Iconic people
08:39That I have been
08:40In the presence of
08:41And I was always taught
08:42To be quiet and listen
08:43So I always say
08:45I didn't talk
08:45Until I was 18
08:46Because I was listening
08:47The whole time
08:47But I learned a lot
08:49From being quiet
08:50And listening
08:51What have you learned
08:52I mean you talk about
08:53You've been working
08:54Since age three
08:55What for you has been
08:56A constant threat
08:57In your life
08:58As far as how
08:59You approach your work
08:59To pick a role
09:02That I can be proud of
09:03And not embarrassed of
09:05For when I have kids
09:08When I'm older
09:08Picking things
09:11That I don't have
09:11To over explain myself
09:13Because
09:13It's off brand
09:16That's real
09:18No that's real
09:19I don't want to
09:21Embarrass myself
09:21My mother
09:22Or anyone around me
09:24And it depends
09:26On what kind of
09:27Person you are
09:28And I don't
09:29I don't set that
09:31Standard for anyone
09:31But my own self
09:32Because if
09:34You know
09:34That's who I am
09:35And I enjoy
09:36All kinds of entertainment
09:37And I love
09:38That there's people
09:39Who set that standard
09:40For themselves
09:41We wouldn't have it
09:42If there weren't
09:42Standards in other
09:43People's lives
09:44Like I need all
09:45Kinds of entertainment
09:45But me myself
09:47I love the family genre
09:48I love the family genre
09:50And you're just
09:51Walking proof
09:51That you can always
09:52Be authentic
09:53And win
09:54And succeed
09:54Like that's what
09:55You're saying
09:56Like I just wanted
09:57To be me
09:57No matter what
09:58At every age
09:59At every age
10:00And it's still working
10:01Even if I'm still
10:02Acting at 15
10:03And I'm 32
10:03Yes at every age
10:04Absolutely
10:05Arrested
10:05Developed
10:06At everything
10:06And that's beautiful
10:10Thanks
10:10You know
10:11What a part of your life
10:13When you're off camera
10:14Like we were having
10:15A real conversation
10:16About Spanx
10:17We were about to
10:17Talk about Spanx
10:18Please let's not
10:19Go in on Spanx
10:19Because I have
10:20Things to say
10:20Did you buy the arms yet
10:26No
10:26Girl
10:27I bought the arms
10:28What arms
10:29What are they
10:29They're arm Spanx
10:30They're arm Spanx
10:31And I did not
10:32Wear them today
10:33But there are arm Spanx
10:35But how hot can you be
10:36How do you
10:36For long sleeve
10:37Yeah it goes to
10:38Like right here
10:39Arm Spanx
10:40They work
10:41They work
10:42Okay
10:42But it's one of those
10:43Things where I just
10:44Have to be ready for it
10:45I'm tired of being
10:46In a sausage casing
10:47I'm tired of being
10:49Poured into it
10:50Girl
10:50I go up and down
10:51So much
10:51That I'm just like
10:52Even now
10:53Let me wear what
10:54I feel good in
10:55I think I look cute
10:56And call it a day
10:57Bye
10:57You're welcome
10:58Okay
10:59And I feel like
11:00That's when you
11:00Really find your style
11:01Cause I gave up on Spanx
11:02I gave up on it
11:03Oh you gonna get these curves
11:04You gonna get the rolls
11:05Give me some
11:05The rolls
11:06Like I just don't even
11:08I got tired of
11:09Sneaking out in the middle
11:10Of the meal
11:10And taking my Spanx
11:12Off in the bathroom
11:12And putting them on verse
11:13Cause I wanted to eat that steak
11:15No
11:15It's just me
11:16Okay
11:16No no no
11:16There was a story
11:19About a woman
11:19Who basically thought
11:20She was having a heart attack
11:22And it was her Spanx
11:23That's real life
11:24And then I was like
11:25What am I
11:26And then like
11:26I feel like I learned
11:27To dress
11:28To feel cute
11:29But not feel like
11:30I needed that
11:30And I've never felt more fly
11:32That's how I am
11:33I have to learn to dress
11:34To feel cute
11:35With the body that I have
11:36You know what I'm saying
11:37And it's so true
11:38And here's my Spanx problem
11:40The roll down
11:41Girl
11:41Because it doesn't stay
11:43I like it to cut
11:44When I
11:44I liked it up underneath heat
11:45Yes
11:46Right under the brow
11:47Right under
11:47And it didn't
11:48You know what I'm saying
11:48You gotta tuck it under
11:49But it would just
11:50Ah there it goes
11:51And it's
11:52I don't need the thighs
11:53I need this part
11:54Yeah
11:54Anyway you're welcome
11:56Come touch it
11:56Come rub my bed
11:59That's how I feel
12:02Get some
12:03Get some
12:04When it came out
12:05About Janet Jackson
12:06And Jermaine DePee dating
12:07Which part?
12:08And he said
12:09Don't talk about my woman
12:10Don't talk about Janet
12:11We respect the queen
12:13But J.D. said
12:14Well no I'm sorry
12:15Janet said
12:16She finally accepted herself
12:17Because he grabbed her
12:18Roll of fat
12:19And he was like
12:20I love every part of you
12:22Yep I remember that
12:23And she didn't marry him
12:24I remember that
12:24You right
12:24She didn't marry him
12:25But that's real
12:26She was sticky thick
12:26During that time
12:27I was like yes
12:28Yes
12:28And as anyone you love should
12:31They should love every roll
12:32Every curve
12:33So I'm gonna just say
12:34You know what
12:34Throw the Spanx away ladies
12:36You're welcome
12:36The shaper
12:37What else are we throwing away
12:38I mean just
12:38I mean keep them
12:39You know handy
12:40For award shows
12:41For that award show
12:42For that one moment
12:44For a gala
12:44You know what I'm saying
12:44That part
12:45But don't wear it on a date
12:47Right
12:47And then switch people's heads up
12:50When it's about time
12:50Don't do that
12:51Don't do that
12:51Don't wear a shaper
12:52When I heard somebody said
12:54They have everyday Spanx
12:55And at that point
12:56I wanted to be like
12:57No that's where you need
12:58To like diet
12:58That's like old school
12:591900s corset training
13:01You know what I'm saying
13:02That's the new corset thing
13:03Well that's like
13:04My big mama used to wear a girdle
13:05Because that's essentially
13:06What a Spanx is
13:06Basically
13:07I have a closet of girdles
13:09People put them on
13:10Right after having kids
13:11Like literally
13:12Oh yeah to hold that in
13:13But I don't know
13:13If that's true
13:14I heard that's a thing
13:15It's a thing
13:16It's a thing
13:16Alright
13:17But anyway
13:18We're saying love ourselves
13:19Yes we are saying love ourselves
13:20But the reality
13:22See it's a real thing
13:23Charlie tell me
13:24What else are you loving
13:25About yourself right now
13:26You know just that
13:27I can find joy
13:28I feel like
13:30Raven and Simone and I
13:32Did I say it right
13:32Raven's been
13:33Did I say it right
13:33Yes
13:34We're kindred bubbly sisters
13:35I like it
13:36Right like I just find joy
13:37In the little thing
13:38Corey you know I'm joyful
13:39Care Bears
13:39That's what they call me
13:40But I'm loving finding joy
13:42Yeah
13:42That's beautiful
13:43Just finding joy
13:43In the small things
13:44And just waking up
13:45What about you
13:45I will say I love finding joy
13:47And I'm going to circle this back
13:48And watching television
13:50With my daughter
13:51And loving a character
13:52And I'm not even saying this
13:53Because you're here
13:53But I really enjoy you
13:55On the show
13:56Thank you
13:56And going back to the Spanksy
13:58Really quickly
13:58That episode where you went out
14:00And the guy forgot your ID
14:02Well you forgot your ID
14:03And he wouldn't let you in
14:04And you were like
14:04You don't know what I have
14:05Pushed up
14:06Pulled in
14:07You're going to let me
14:08In this club
14:09Right
14:10And I'm like
14:11Did you write that
14:12Like this
14:12Because in the moment
14:13I was
14:13Jillian didn't get it
14:14But I was like
14:15This is so for me
14:15Right now
14:16Good
14:17I love that balance
14:18Because it's
14:19You know
14:19Yes it's a family
14:20Show but then there's
14:21These zingers
14:21That are for the parents
14:22And it's like
14:23That's what a family
14:25Show is about
14:25You have those
14:26Fantastic movies
14:27Like Shrek
14:27You have those
14:29Fantastic movies
14:30That hit every
14:31Single genre
14:31It's possible
14:32It is
14:33It is possible
14:34Because everybody
14:35Was a child
14:35And everybody
14:37Can come back
14:37And remember those
14:38Times they watched
14:39That VHS
14:40That was on Skip
14:40VHS
14:41Okay
14:42You had all of that
14:43The laser discs
14:45Don't take me back
14:46I had a laser disc
14:49Let's just say that
14:50How about that
14:51They were giant
14:52They were like
14:53I kissed it
14:54You did
14:55I had one too
14:55I remember that
14:56It was a thing
14:57I did not
14:57I had like three
14:58Laser discs
14:59But we had them
15:00It was like the whole
15:01Rack like the VHS
15:02Right
15:03But you had those
15:04Cartoons that we all
15:05Could sit down
15:05And parents loved
15:06And you know
15:07I'm in art class
15:08Art school right now
15:10And I just did a history
15:12About it
15:13And watching it go
15:13And this is so off topic
15:15But you guys got me
15:15And you made me
15:16Feel loved here
15:17Going from that
15:18Hand drawn to digital
15:19Like made me feel like
15:22Okay is it really
15:23Going to work
15:23Because you're
15:24Getting rid of
15:26You're not getting rid of
15:27But you're having to
15:28Elevate the hand drawn
15:30Love that we grew up with
15:33Into this digital world
15:34And it's not the same
15:35But it's possible
15:36It happened
15:38And that's what can happen
15:38With family shows as well
15:40I'm sorry
15:41I just went into that
15:42Because I'm like
15:42Yes hand drawn cartoons
15:43I know I love
15:44I love that you're
15:45In art school by the way
15:46I just want to say
15:46Me too
15:46So does my mama
15:47Making time for
15:48Making time for
15:49What makes you happy
15:49Mom I'm on a show
15:50With my name on it
15:51Yeah but did you go to school
15:52No mom but I got
15:54An Emmy nomination
15:55Yeah but did you finish
15:56That class and get an A
15:57Okay mom
15:57I love you
15:58She ain't
15:58You ain't right
15:59To get that B.A.
16:01Oh for sure
16:02Oh for sure
16:04Oh for sure
16:06Like let's be clear
16:08No no no
16:09She don't care what I do
16:10You better get that B.A.
16:13Hunty
16:13I didn't go to class
16:14This semester
16:15She didn't talk to me
16:16She didn't
16:17She was so mad
16:18It's important
16:20It is important
16:20Commitment
16:21But also I do want to
16:22Talk a little bit about
16:23How your character is a divorcee
16:24Because I love that
16:26Thank you
16:27And I love it
16:28Because it's real
16:28It's real
16:29But there's also
16:31Something that I love
16:32Even more about it
16:33We are portraying
16:35A healthy
16:36Healthy
16:37Divorced
16:38Yes
16:39Situation
16:39And yes we're on Disney Channel
16:41And you know
16:42Yes we are a family show
16:44But I think that it can
16:46Lend some
16:48Knowledge
16:49To those
16:50Where if it's not going right
16:51Stop it
16:53Yeah
16:53And have a new start
16:55And have a new start
16:56Embrace
16:57And make sure
16:58The kids
16:59What I love
16:59We don't touch on it
17:00But the understory is
17:02They understand
17:03That it's not their fault
17:04It's not their fault
17:05They're down
17:06They understand
17:07Everybody's
17:07It's a community
17:09Inside of this family
17:10There's communication
17:11Going on
17:11And I think when you
17:12Have these secrets
17:13Like Booker had
17:14The first season
17:15You have more problems
17:17When you have secrets
17:18You know
17:18And everybody has
17:19Their moments
17:20And everybody has
17:20Their lives
17:20But I love the way
17:21That we're showing
17:22That it's possible
17:23It's possible
17:24And that's the new
17:25Type of family
17:25Yeah
17:26And I love to
17:27The
17:27To piggyback on that
17:29Is the episode
17:30Where you were trying
17:31To make up for the dad
17:32She watches this show
17:34Because I don't even know
17:35Half the episode
17:35I'm like I did that
17:37I love that
17:38We love watching it
17:39But it was the episode
17:40Your ex-husband
17:43Didn't
17:43He wasn't able to make it
17:44And you were trying
17:45To make up
17:45And do all the things
17:46That he does
17:46And then at the end
17:48Of the episode
17:48It was like listen
17:49I can't be your dad
17:50You're gonna just have
17:51We're gonna have mommy time
17:52And they were like
17:53We know
17:53And it was just to that point
17:54They were like we get it
17:55It's just that
17:56We just
17:57We miss him too
17:58And there was something
17:58Really real about that
18:00I really appreciate it
18:00Because you know
18:01Growing up
18:02My Disney growing up
18:03Was very like
18:04You know cookie cutter
18:05And very safe
18:06But I'm like
18:06You guys are pushing
18:07The envelope
18:08You really are pushing
18:09Even on the other show
18:10Andy Mack
18:11That's my show
18:12I love what they did
18:14For the LGBT community
18:16Love it
18:16Love it
18:17Love it
18:17Love it
18:18I was jealous
18:18I wanted it on my show
18:19I was like
18:19But okay
18:21You can have it
18:21We're fam
18:22I'm so proud of
18:23Disney Channel
18:24For their growth
18:25For the growth
18:26Of the people
18:27Watching the network
18:28For the growth
18:29Of the content
18:30On the network
18:31For the growth
18:32Of humanity
18:33As an interesting
18:35Whole
18:36The growth is happening
18:37And I'm excited about it
18:39Okay cool
18:39So what haven't you
18:41Taken on
18:41Or tackled
18:42That you want to do next
18:43Because I mean
18:43Those receipts
18:44Corey read
18:45Were really long
18:46And you've done
18:47I mean
18:47Feels like you've done it all
18:48I have not done it all
18:50A friend of mine
18:50Is doing a music video
18:51And I'm directing
18:52That'll be my first
18:53Directing
18:54And a gig
18:54And then
18:55They want me to direct
18:56An episode of Raven's Home
18:57They wanted me to direct
18:58An episode of That's a Raven
18:59And I was scared
19:00And I'm still scared
19:03But someone gave me
19:03Some great advice
19:04At the channel
19:05And they said
19:06If you weren't scared
19:06We would be scared
19:08True
19:09So I'm scared
19:10I'm shaking in my boots
19:11But I'm very excited
19:12About it
19:12Because I think
19:12It is a natural progression
19:13That I need to at least try
19:15And dive into
19:16And one of my play brothers
19:18Said if you
19:18Continue to stay
19:20In a comfortable
19:20Setting your whole life
19:22You can never grow
19:23So I'm getting
19:24Outside of my show
19:25And I'm gonna go direct
19:26I'm excited
19:27I'm gonna love it
19:28Mara Rebecca Kill
19:28Was on the show
19:29And that's what she said
19:30She finally directed
19:31And it freed her
19:32And she was like
19:33Y'all get ready
19:34It's going down
19:35See that's how
19:35Yeah that's
19:36She was always afraid
