Hi, I'm Tina from Turners. Cars, cars,
00:00:03
cars. I went and met with the director
00:00:05
and I think I was late and then he was
00:00:06
like, can you just make love to a car? I
00:00:08
was like,
00:00:09
>> [ __ ] that's my dream.
00:00:11
>> When are you aware of the impact it's
00:00:12
having?
00:00:12
>> The more people kept coming and then the
00:00:15
news were hitting me up, but I wasn't
00:00:17
allowed to talk about Turners at that
00:00:19
time. So, radio stations like bunch of
00:00:20
people were hitting me up and I was
00:00:21
like, I actually can't come on. I'm not
00:00:23
allowed to talk about it.
00:00:23
>> Why was it a secret thing?
00:00:25
>> Just to keep that illusion going for
00:00:26
people. They loved her so much and were
00:00:28
showing up to turn us to find her. We
00:00:30
don't want to break it.
00:00:31
>> Oh, like break the fourth wall that it's
00:00:32
just a comedian/ actor.
00:00:34
>> Yeah. Right.
00:00:35
>> I also don't want to do that to people
00:00:36
either.
00:00:38
>> They love Tito.
00:00:39
>> Your family, people that care about you
00:00:40
the most. Like, was this the moment for
00:00:41
them where they're like, "Oh, okay.
00:00:43
Bubba wants to do this unusual career
00:00:44
path and it's paying off."
00:00:46
>> Yeah. And also, they've got all the
00:00:47
Turner merchandise. So, my grandparents
00:00:49
are church celebrities right now cuz
00:00:52
