01:12My son he's seven years old and he's insisted that we have this is his gonna be his birthday party

01:17We're gonna go see the movie. Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah. Yeah, and they're gonna be snacks and everything. That's awesome

01:24Popcorn popcorn come up with a little snack package. It's a 25 per kid. Okay

01:32Seems reasonable

01:33Amazing. It is gonna be fun. Yeah, we're gonna watch the movie. Yeah, of course. That's why we're there

01:38In fact, if anything, it's gonna be difficult to not take him to the movie before the party

01:42He's so crazed for it. Are you prepared for that? Do you feel ready the kids like know you from stuff Jimmy?

01:49Do strangely enough

01:52Like I took my daughter to the park and these three little girls came up to me

01:56They were probably like 10 years old. They come up to me

01:59They're like, are you Danielle Brooks? And I'm like, yes, which one of your parents brought you over here?

02:04And they were like no, we know you from a renovation show

02:08I did a show called instant dream home and I was blown away the ten-year-olds knew that instant dream. Yes

02:15So when this movie comes out y'all, I don't know what I'm gonna do

02:22Were they courteous was it was super okay, it was good. All right

02:26Yeah, but I do feel like when this movie comes out, I'm gonna get attacked like the zombies

02:30I'm gonna be running you're gonna have to make a lot of videos for a lot of kids

02:34You're gonna have to do like voicemail messages. I'm shocked that you're not having the cast come to the birthday party

02:39Well, I would like them to but I would never ask something like that. I lived in LA

02:44You have to be careful. Oh, well, that's very nice. Although you're not going to be here. So yeah

02:49That's a nice hollow offer to make

02:54I will say Jason Momoa told me he said FaceTime me after you see the movie

02:59So he can talk to my son, which is a very nice thing to do. Yeah. Yeah, and it's also ruins them

03:05But what are you gonna do? How old is your daughter? My daughter's five. Does she play Minecraft? No, no

03:12Okay, doesn't not yet a little bit too young. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm gonna take her to see the movie

03:15Yeah, did you play it? Like did they say like when you you sign up to do the movie?

03:19I'm so glad that was not a requirement because your girl has no game skills. You're not good at it

03:26No, how much how hard did you try? I tried you see that high pitch. That means I really didn't try that hard

03:33Um, I did try but it's just not my skill set. You know, I kept dying. Did somebody help you?

03:40Yes, I did have somebody help me and they gave they gave me the green light to say it's okay

03:46That it's just not my skills who helped you. Um, the creative director of my Microsoft. He was on set all the time

03:53I see. Oh, yeah, I think his name is Telfar. I'm totally probably messing up. I love you, though

03:58I love you

03:59And I really did try he came in my dressing room. We tried and it failed

04:05You know, I just do other things. Yeah. Well, how do what other things do you do?

04:09I like to work out. Okay. Well, that's better than you know, yeah playing video games because healthier

04:16I'm trying to keep a chiseled jawline

04:19You know

04:21Do you do?

04:23Jimmy, I'm okay. I'm really competitive and your girl was I like to flip tires and like I like doing hit workouts

04:31We mean you like to flip tires. Well

04:33Okay

04:36So I had to tell you this story, okay one time I was flipping tires and this guy

04:41My way and you know, I'm sorry, man

04:43Y'all be trying to intimidate women in the gym sometimes and so I was flipping this tire and I was like

04:48I'm gonna show this man

04:51That was a bad idea

04:52Because I flipped that tire and my back went out

04:56Oh really and I my boss had to swallow my pride immediately. I could not walk

05:01I had to try to get to the phone and call somebody right to come and get me

05:07So they brought a wheelchair out. Oh, yes

05:10It was that they brought a wheelchair out to get me out of the gym

05:14And then I had to call my husband and say can you get your car and get me out of the parking lot?

05:20It was that bad and his car only had three tires on

05:26So, wait a minute so did the guy feel bad that he wasn't thinking about me

05:30He didn't think about you at all

05:33What I do is I go to the gym in a wheelchair, okay

05:38That way nobody's surprised when I leave in one, you know

05:42Wow, that's not good. Well, maybe don't flip tires. Also, there's Nikki all dirty flipping tires

05:48I like I like the challenge. Yeah, I mean, I really have been enjoying like getting stronger and all that

05:54You move back to Georgia, right?

05:56Yeah, I was born in Augusta grew up in South Carolina grew up again in New York and I'm back in the a because everything shoots

06:03There anyway, yes. Yes. That's very convenient for you. Yeah, it's been great. It's great and you're there with your family

07:03He invited you to know I popped up on them. Oh, that's what a good friend does. Okay

07:08So I popped up on him and he starts to sing the song

07:11And I was like, I'm gonna wait till the end of the song to come on stage to surprise him

07:16So I wait till the end of the song. He got so excited y'all. He stopped the song. He stopped the song

07:27And I've been I had to sing I was trying to avoid he did the song then again he did the song again

07:34So you don't like that? I was cute, but I guess shy you have a great voice. Why would you I mean you really get shot

07:41I do I like singing and hiding behind a character to sing

07:45Me singing sometimes I get shot, but I'm coming out of that

07:54That is interesting right when you're dressed up in a in a way it's like I can hi is that that's a weird psychological thing

08:02I don't know. I really don't know why and I should I gotta let it go

08:07I gotta let it or just embrace it and have some singer character that you do

08:11Yeah, and just look at yourself in the mirror and say now I'm whatever, you know, maybe come up with a name
