THERE WAS A PERIOD WHEN I

QUESTIONED THINGS, BUT NOW

I BELIEVE RELIGION IS

IMPORTANT.

ANOTHER FOLLOWER ASKED,

WHY DIDN'T Facebook

NOTIFY THEM THAT IT WAS

JESUS' BIRTHDAY?

AND MARK ZUCKERBERG

REPLIED, YOU'RE NOT

FRIENDS WITH JESUS ON

Facebook.

THOSE ARE YOUR TOP FIVE

FOR "STUDIO 5" FOR THIS

WEEK.

> HERE IS A QUESTION FOR

YOU: HOW DO YOU GO FROM

DOG CATCHER TO

BEST-SELLING RECORDING

ARTIST.

THE MAN WHO KNOWS HOW IS

THE BEST PERSON TO ANSWER

THAT QUESTION.

WE'RE SITTING DOWN WITH

BEN TANKERS FOR THIS

WEEK'S "STUDIO 5"

INTERVIEW.

BEN TANKERS IS A MASTER ON

THE KEYS, BUT HE HAS NEVER

TAKEN A PIANO LESSON.

IT IS ONE OF SEVERAL

AMAZING JOURNEYS HE SHARES

IN HIS BOOK, "THE FULL

TANK LIFE: FUEL YOUR

DREAMS, IGNITE YOUR

DESTINY."

> JAZZ ARTIST, PASTOR,

FATHER, GRANDFATHER,

AUTHOR AS WELL, WHAT

INSPIRED "THE FULL TANK OF

LIFE?"

I FELT LIKE I WAS SO

FULL OF WISDOM FROM

FAILURES AND VICTORIES,

THAT I SHOULD PASS THIS ON

TO OTHER PEOPLE SO THEY

CAN HAVE A SHORT CUT TO

SUCCESS, HAVING A

FULL-TANK LIFE.

WE'VE ALL BEEN DRIVING AND

THE LOW-FUEL LIGHT CAME

ON.

THAT'S OKAY DRIVING, BUT

YOU DON'T WANT THAT TO BE

IN REAL LIFE.

Efrem: IN REAL LIFE,

BEN TANKERS' FAMILY PLATE

IS QUITE FULL.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

HE IS MOVING A LOT.

Efrem: SOME OF THAT

LIFE IS CAPTURED IN THE

FAMILY'S HIT REALITY SHOW.

> MANY PEOPLE WATCH

"THICKER THAN WATER," AND

SEE YOUR LIFE.

PILOT, GORGEOUS FAMILY, A

BEAUTIFUL HOME, AND THEY

SEE THE SUCCESS, AND THEY

WOULD BE SURPRISED THAT IT

WASN'T ALWAYS LIKE THAT,

RIGHT?

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

MY WIFE, NOW, SHE WAS BORN

WITH A SILVER SPOON IN HER

MOUTH.

MY SPOON HAD BEEN USED TWO

OR THREE TIMES.

WE WERE VERY, VERY POOR.

POWDERED EGGS, POWDERED

MILK, HAMBURGER HELPER

WITH NO HAMBURGER.

SO I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE

OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS

HAPPENED.

I THOUGHT MY WAY OUT OF

THE GHETTO WOULD BE PRO

BALL.

6' 6."

6" BY THE TIME I WAS IN

THE EIGHTH GRADE.

BUT I WAS A MUSICIAN, TOO.

TUBA PLAYER IN THE BAND.

I'M GETTING READY TO

GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL,

35 SCHOLARSHIP OFFERS FOR

TUBA, WHICH I LOVE, AND 30

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR

BASKETBALL, WHICH I LIKE.

WHICH ONE DO I TAKE?

MY MOM SAID, WE'RE BLACK,

WE'RE POOR, YOU'RE TALL,

PLAY BALL.

SO I TOOK THE BASKETBALL

SCHOLARSHIP.

NOT BECAUSE I LOVE

BASKETBALL, BUT BECAUSE I

WAS TALL AND WE WERE POOR.

I GOT TO PLAY PRO AND GOT

INJURED BEFORE THE SEASON

STARTED.

I GOT CUT AND THAT'S WHEN

I REALLY DISCOVERED MY

TRUE DESTINY WAS TO PLAY

PIANO.

I WENT TO A SERVICE AND

GOT SAVED.

THE MINISTER TOLD ME TO

SIT AT THE PIANO.

AND GOD GAVE ME THIS

KEYBOARD GIFT OVERNIGHT.

Efrem: YOU HAD NEVER

PLAYED KEYBOARD BEFORE?

I HAD NEVER PLAYED

KEYBOARD, JUST TUBA.

AND THANK GOD BECAUSE HOW

MANY PEOPLE WOULD CALL ME

ON THEIR STUDIO TO PLAY

TUBA.

I WENT FROM BEING A PRO

BALLER TO A NO BALLER TO A

PROFESSIONAL-SOUNDING JAZZ

MUSICIAN.

BUT THE RECORDING

CONTRACTS AND THE MONEY

AND THE FAME DID NOT COME

IMMEDIATELY.

IT CAME SEVERAL YEARS

LATER.

WHAT PEOPLE DON'T HEAR

ABOUT, WHICH IS IN THE

BOOK, IS WHAT I WAS DOING

WHILE I WAS WAITING ON THE

BREAKTHROUGH WITH THIS

GIFT.

I WAS A DOG CATCHER, MAN.

A DOG CATCHER.

AND THEY GIVE YOU THE

BADGE AND THAT WAS JUST TO

MAKE ME FEEL BETTER

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T ARREST A

DOG.

Efrem: YOU CAN'T

CONTROL A DOG.

BUT MY BIG BREAK CAME

BECAUSE I HAVE THIS MUSIC

GIFT, BUT I CAN'T MAKE A

LIVING ON IT YET.

ON MY LUNCH BREAK, I WOULD

GO INTO THE MUSIC STORE

AND PLAY AROUND THESE

PEOPLE'S KEYBOARDS, WITH

MY UNIFORM ON.

THERE IS A TRUCK OUTSIDE

WITH DOGS IN IT, AND I'M

ON MY LUNCH BREAK PLAYING

THE KEYBOARD BECAUSE THE

MUSIC WAS IN MY HEART.

LONG STORY SHORT, I'M IN

THERE PLAYING ONE DAY, AND

THERE IS A CUSTOMER

WALKING AROUND AND SHE

HEARS ME PLAYING, AND SHE

TELLS THE STORE OWNER, I

LOVE THE MUSIC I'M

HEARING.

I'LL BUY THE PIANO THAT

THE MAN IS PLAYING.

AND THE STORE OWNER SAID,

CAN YOU KEEP PLAYING.

AND EVERY TIME I PLAYED,

SOMEBODY BOUGHT SOMETHING.

AND ONE DAY HE SAYS, BEN,

WHY YOU CATCHING DOGS?

I SAID, I'VE GOT TO DO

SOMETHING WHILE I'M

WAITING FOR MY BREAK.

HE SAID HOW MUCH DO YOU

GET PAID?

I SAID $980 A MONTH.

AND HE SAID, HOW MUCH

WOULD I HAVE TO PAY YOU TO

PLAY.

AND I SAID, ARE YOU

KIDDING ME?

HE HIRED ME AND THAT WAS

MY FIRST JOB, AS A

KEYBOARD DEMONSTRATOR IN A

STORE IN TALLAHASSEE.

THAT'S WHERE MY GIFT WAS

DEVELOPED.

AND I WAS PLAYING FOR A

LIVING, EIGHT HOURS A DAY.

AND I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE

EQUIPMENT HALF PRICE TO

GET MY HOME STUDIO BUILT.

AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO GO

FULL-TIME IN MY HOME

STUDIO.

THAT'S HOW I GOT INTO THE

MUSIC BUSINESS.

Efrem: THAT'S HOW BEN

GOT STARTED IN THE MUSIC

BUSINESS, BUT YOU CAN READ

THE REST OF HIS STORY IN

HIS BOOK, "THE FULL-TANK

LIFE."

AND YOU CAN SAMPLE SOME

NEW MUSIC IN HIS

"FULL-TANK" RECORDING.

STILL AHEAD --

I SAID IF HE WASN'T

MANKIND, THEN MOVE OUT OF

THE WAY FOR THE MANKIND.

Efrem: A LOOK AT A

CENSUS THAT HIT THEATERS

CHRISTMAS DAY.

> HOW RELEVANT DO YOU

THINK THIS STORY LINE IS

IN 2016?

I THINK IT IS RELEVANT

BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT THE

HUMAN HEART.

Efrem: AUGUST WILSON

IS A LEGENDARY PLAYWRIGHT

FROM PITTSBURGH.

HE DIDN'T LIVE TO SEE HIS

PULITZER PRIZE MAKE IT TO

THE BIG SCREEN UNDER THE

ACTOR DENZEL WASHINGTON.

WHEN I FIRST MET THIS

WOMAN, I SAW A ROSE AND I

LATCHED ON TO HER.

I TOLD HER, BABY, I DON'T

WANT TO MARRY.

I JUST WANT TO BE YOUR

MAN.

ROSE TOLD ME --

I TOLD HIM IF HE WASN'T

A MANKIND, THEN MOVE OUT

OF THE WAY SO MANKIND CAN

FIND ME.

THAT'S WHAT SHE TOLD

ME.

MOVE OUT OF THE WAY SO I

CAN FIND ME A HUSBAND.

I FEEL LIKE THE THEME

IN "FENCES" ARE ABOUT

MARRIAGE.

IT IS ABOUT IDENTITY.

IT'S ABOUT PARENTHOOD.

IT'S ABOUT FATHER-SON

RELATIONSHIPS.

IT'S ABOUT LOST DREAMS.

WHAT AUGUST DID WAS HE

CREATED THE EVERY MAN,

ANTI-HERO FLAWED.

FOR CORY AND ROSE.

JUST BECAUSE I'M THE

DIRECTOR, IT DOESN'T MEAN

I KNOW THE TRUTH.

I'M THERE TO DISCOVER LIKE

EVERYONE ELSE.

80% OF IT IS CASTING, SO

GET THE BEST AND LEF LET THEM

DO WHAT THEY DO AND LET'S

SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I ASKED YOU A QUESTION:

WHAT LAW SAYS I GOT TO

LIKE YOU?

ALL RIGHT THEN.

DON'T YOU EAT EVERY DAY?

ANSWER ME WHEN I TALK TO

YOU: DON'T YOU EAT EVERY

DAY?

YEAH.

Efrem: I HEARD YOU

SAY THAT DENZEL WASHINGTON

GAVE YOU A PANIC ATTACK?

OH, MAN.

IT WAS JUST, YOU KNOW --

[LAUGHTER]

THE FINAL AUDITION, AND

THE FINAL TEST, AND

GETTING TO MEET DENZEL --

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I

WANTED TO DO WAS LEAVE A

POSITIVE IMPRESSION WITH

HIM, THAT I AM AN ACTOR

AND I WANT TO BE TAKEN

SERIOUSLY AND I WANT TO DO

GOOD WORK.

THAT'S WHERE THAT SENSE OF

PANIC CAME FROM, JUST

NERVES MORE THAN ANYTHING.

HE COMPLETELY DISARMED

THAT AND HE ALLOWED ME TO

BE COMFORTABLE.

AND I FELT IN SAFE HANDS,

EVEN IN THE AUDITION.

JUST TRYING TO PULL THE

BEST OUT OF ME, THAT'S

WHAT HE WANTED TO DO.

YOU SEE THOSE BONES

PUMPING HARD.

YOU AFRAID I'M GONNA BE

BETTER THAN YOU.

EVERYTHING THAT BOY DO,

HE DO FOR YOU.

THE WOMEN WHO INFORMED

MY PORTRAYAL OF ROSE IS

ME.

MY MOM.

MY PUBLICIST.

I DON'T KNOW.

MY MANAGER.

EVERY WOMAN THAT IS OUT

THERE, BLACK OR WHITE.

I CAN'T THINK OF BETTER

WORDS THAN WHAT COMES OUT

OF ROSE'S MOUTH.

I WAS STANDING WITH

YOU.

I GOT A LIFE, TOO.

DON'T YOU THINK I HAD

DREAMS AND HOPES?

WHAT ABOUT MY LIFE?

WHAT ABOUT ME?

Efrem: YOU PLAYED

GABRIEL.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE HIM

TREG.

GABRIEL IS A HERO.

HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS

COUNTRY.

HE COME A VERY DIFFERENT

PERSON.

GABRIEL DEFINITELY IS A

SPIRITUAL CONNECTOR FOR

THE FAMILY, BUT HE IS ALSO

THE FINANCIAL PROVIDER FOR

THE FAMILY, WHICH ACTUALLY

FEEDS INTO TROY'S PAIN, OF

NOT BEING AS SUCCESSFUL AS

53 YEARS OLD AS HE WOULD

LIKE TO BE.

HE HAS TO TAP HIS BROTHERS

RESOURCES OR HE WOULD NOT

HAVE A POT OR WINDOW TO

THROW IT OUT OF.

Efrem: THIS TAKES US

BACK TO A PERIOD OF THE

1950s, '60s.

HOW RELEVANT DO YOU THINK

THE STORY LINE IS IN 2016?

I THINK IT IS RELEVANT

BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT THE

HUMAN HEART AND THE HUMAN

CONDITION.

IT'S ABOUT FAMILY.

A MAN IS SUPPOSED TO

TAKE CARE OF HIS FAMILY.

YOU LIVE IN MY HOUSE, FILL

YOUR BELLY WITH MY FOOD,

PUT YOUR BEHIND ON MY BED

BECAUSE YOU'RE MY SON.

Efrem: HOW DID YOU

FEEL BEING A PART OF

AUGUST WILSON'S FIRST PLAY

TO BE BROUGHT TO THE BIG

SCREEN.

IT'S A GREAT HONOR.

THAT'S THE CALL OF ALL

CALLS THAT YOU GET.

WE ALREADY KNOW HOW GREAT

OF A WRITER AUGUST WILSON

IS.

AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE

FAMILIAR WITH HIS LINE OF

WORK.

AND IT HUMBLES YOU,

TOO, BECAUSE IT IS A GREAT

HONOR.

THE MAN WROTE A

MASTERPIECE.

AND GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW IT

AFFECTS PEOPLE.

YOU KNOW?

AND THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF

IT.

COME IN, SIT DOWN, AND

WE'LL FIND OUT.

Efrem: "FENCES" HIT

THEATERS ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

> YOU KNOW, IT IS ALWAYS

GOOD TO GET A LAUGH, AND

OUR RESIDENT COMEDIAN,

LIONEL HARRIS, HAS A DOSE

OF LAUGHTER FOR YOU.

TAKE A LOOK.

WHAT IS THE OFFICIAL

VEGETABLE OF TRAPPED

MUSIC?

"TURNIP."

THANK YOU.

Efrem: STILL TO COME

ON "STUDIO 5"...

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

Efrem: A FIRST LOOK

AT A POWERFUL FILM YOU MAY

HAVE MISSED IN 2016.

Efrem: AS I TAKE A

LOOK BACK AT 2016 THERE,

MANY MOVIES YOU MAY HAVE

MISSED.

AMONG THEM, "DEEPWATER

HORIZON."

IT IS BASED ON THE LARGEST

ACCIDENTAL MARINE OIL

SPILL IN WORLD HISTORY.

TAKE A LOOK.

THAT AIN'T GOOD.

[YELLING]

Efrem: WHAT WAS IT

ABOUT THIS STORY THAT DREW

YOU?

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE

THINGS WHERE I WAS SHOCKED

THAT AS MUCH I THOUGHT I

KNEW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED,

ALL I REALLY WAS AWARE OF

WAS THE ENVIRONMENTAL

DISASTER.

I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT

11 PEOPLE HAD LOST THEIR

LIVES.

ONCE I STARTED DIGGING A

LITTLE DEEPER, I THOUGHT

IT WAS IMPORTANT TO TELL

THEIR STORY AND TO HONOR

THEM.

DID YOU DO IT ALL

WITHOUT THIS?

NO.

THAT IS A GENUINE

DINOSAUR TOOTH.

ONCE I KIND OF HEARD

THE INS AND OUTS OF WHAT

SHE WENT THROUGH, IT WAS

REALLY IMPORTANT THAT IT

FELT -- THE ESSENCE OF IT

FELT LIKE WHAT IT WAS FOR

EVERYBODY, WHICH WAS THEY

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING

ON.

THEY'RE WATCHING IT ON

TELEVISION.

IT WAS -- THEY WERE

LITERALLY WATCHING THEIR

FAMILY OR THEIR HUSBAND OR

THEIR GIRLFRIEND OR THEIR

WIFE'S RIG BURN DOWN AND

THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT

WAS -- IN THERE WERE ANY

SURVIVORS.

GET BURNED OR JUMP.

Efrem: I FOUND IT

HARD TO BELIEVE THIS YOUNG

WOMAN IS 23 IN THE MIDST

OF ALL OF THIS CHAOS AND

CATASTROPHE.

YEAH.

WHAT I TOOK AWAY WAS SHE

WAS A PRETTY TOUGH, STRONG

WOMAN, VERY BRAVE, VERY,

VERY BRAVE.

AND IN THE MIDST OF THIS

CATASTROPHE, AND ALSO

SURROUNDED BY

TESTOSTERONE, YOU HAVE TO

BE A PRETTY TOUGH CHICK.

WHAT WE DID HERE WAS

DEPICT SOMETHING THAT

PROBABLY IS CLOSE T AS CLOSE TO

THE TRUTH AS YOU CAN GET.

THERE WAS A LOT OF

CONFUSION, AND SOME

MISCOMMUNICATION.

AND THEN THERE IS THE GIVE

AND TAKE OF HUMAN BEINGS.

HOW MANY OF OUR

MACHINES NEED REPAIR?

309.

309, THAT'S ALL OF THE

MACHINERY ABOARD?

A FEW.

I THINK THE REAL

DRIVING FORCE BEHIND IT

WAS HIS LOVE FOR HIS WIFE

AND HIS DAUGHTER, AND HIM

BEING WILLING TO DO

ANYTHING TO SURVIVE TO GET

HOME TO THEM.

LOOK DOWN.

LOOK UP.

YOU WANT TO MAKE IT AS

REAL AS POSSIBLE.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

THE SET GOT A LITTLE

BIT COMPLICATED.

WE GOT LUCKY.

WE GOT REALLY LUCKY.

[YELLING]

THERE WERE SO MANY

MOVING PARTS.

WE'RE UP THERE, ON OUR

FEET IN THE AIR.

WE MADE A COMMITMENT TO

ALL OF THOSE THAT WE WOULD

HONOR THEIR LOVED ONE.

THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT

THING.

WE WANTED TO MAKE IT REAL.

Efrem: IF YOU MISS

THIS POWERFUL FILM, HERE

IS THE GOOD NEWS: IT IS

AVAILABLE ON D.V.D. AS OF

JANUARY 10th.

> STILL TO COME ON

"STUDIO 5"...

WE PUT OUR HOPE IN GOD

BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE FOUND

HIM TO BE TRUTHFUL AND

LOYAL, NO MATTER WHAT

WE'RE GOING THROUGH --

Efrem: A REAL MESSAGE

OF HOPE TO PUSH YOU

Efrem: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "STUDIO 5."

TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT

WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON FOR

NEXT WEEK.

*

Efrem: "STUDIO 5"

SITS DOWN WITH PASTOR AND

GOSPEL SINGER DONNIE

MCCLURKIN.

*

Efrem: WE'RE TALKING

ROMANCE, RELATIONSHIPS,

AND REGRETS.

AND REMEMBER THIS

HEADLINE?

I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT

THE FACT THAT YOU SAID THE

ONE THING MISSING IS A

WIFE.

Efrem: WHY HE SAID

HIS BIGGEST REGRET IS

LIVING HIS LIFE BACKWARDS.

MY FEAR PARALYZED ME

FROM GOING FORWARD IN

RELATIONSHIPS.

Efrem: I'M GIVING THE

FINAL WORD FOR THIS SHOW

TO PASTOR CHAD VEECH.

HE HAS A LOOK AT HOPE IN

DIFFICULT SITUATIONS.

HOPE IS BUILT ON

EVIDENCE.

HOPE IS BUILT ON FACTS.

I THINK SO OFTEN WE SEE

HIS WORD "HOPE" -- THERE

WAS THE GREAT WHITE HOPE

AND HOPE CAN BE THIS FALSE

PRETENSE.

HOPE IS NOT HYPE.

HOPE IS A PERSON.

HOPE IS JESUS.

JESUS IS THE HOPE FOR

HUMANITY.

SO I JUST GO, I PUT ALL OF

MY HOPE IN HIM.

SO IF MY HOPE IS IN JESUS,

I'LL NEVER BE BE

DISAPPOINTED.

Efrem: IN DIFFICULT

SITUATIONS, WITH GOD THERE

IS ALWAYS HOPE.

THAT IS THE FINAL WORD FOR

THIS EDITION OF "STUDIO

5."

UNTIL NEXT TIME, REACH OUT

AND TOUCH ME AT EFREM
