Speaker 2: I think you get a couple of them, Okay. The

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: first one that I felt strong about was my second

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: year doing Comic View. I did it in Miami. Ernest

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: J was hosting. Yea, I remember a comic backstage. I

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 2: don't do the name ding, it ain't my thing, and

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: a comic went up before me killed right, He's like.

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 3: Good, look little real, like laughing at me, like I

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 3: was gonna bomb. First bit I do.

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 2: I used to do this remix of this tweet song

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: who told my standing ovation? And if people don't realize that,

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: I used to like to do my best joke first.

16
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: That's how you write really great jokes. Do do your

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: hottest bit first. And now I got to figure out

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: how to follow this, So everything else got to be strong.

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: So I got to be able to do I should

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: have a bit that I should have any bit that

21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: can close any show.

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: close my ship?

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: Br And I thought, you know, that was something I

25
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: learned early on Standovation, got a Standovation left. I had

26
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: my little, my little real jersey on because you know

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: what you want people to remember, you see, everybody's to

28
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,440

29
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: Ray actions and you know, and so that happened, and

30
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,600

00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: That's what me and Tiffany hadgard became fence.

33
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: I beat Leon Rodgers, who's one of our most well

34
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 2: respected comedians out of Chicago, big radio personality out there,

35
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: and I beat him in an episode of Who Got

36
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: Jokes and that was a monumental for me. That's when

37
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 2: I was like, oh shit, okay, I'm becoming a man.

38
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,720

00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: I was just a kid. You did that. That was

48
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: doue and so it's just different big breaks.

49
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: But get Out became our big screen big break, and

50
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: that changed. That was the last movie I auditioned for,

51
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,880

00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: I did it in New Orleans before Katrina. It was

57
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: like right before Katrina. It's almost sometimes I feel eerie

58
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: about watching that tape because you're New Orleans was a

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 2: different New Orleans before Katrina, and I just remember the

60
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: energy even we look when you look at the audience

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: that that audience is one of the best comedy.

62
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: Crowds in the world. Was that New Orleans crowd.

63
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: It's so it's kind of it's eerie to watch sometimes,

64
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: but yeah, I did that.

65
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: Comedy was my first year.

66
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking at in two thousands and all the kind

67
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: You're like NBC's last comic Standing p Diddy Bad Boys

68
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: of Comedy. Russell Simmons presents Stand Up l Ray Shaq

69
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: or Shaquille O'Neal, The All Star Comedy Jam I mean.

70
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 4: You all over the place in the two thousands.

71
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: I didn't stop. I feel like I needed a credit

72
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: every year. So I try to stay on TV every

73
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: single year. So whatever stand up series was coming on,

74
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, I gotta get on this.

75
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: You don't feel that you're too big for that now

76
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: that you've outgrown.

77
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: That, Yeah, I think so. I think for me, the

78
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: next move is to create a show like that. Okay,

79
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, I need to host and produce something like that.

80
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. That's been my goal the

81
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: last few years. It was something bubbling and then the

82
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: you know, fizzed away, but it's still something something I

83
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: want to do, is host and create something like that

84
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: because that those platforms really helped me get to to

85
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: where I'm at, which is why, like you know, I've.

86
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: Been yo once again, your show has kicked off.

87
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: Outside that interview, so many comics, it's so many conversations happening,

88
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: and you know, one of the things that people don't

89
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: realize once again, I will tell you earlier that.

90
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: Everybody's journey is different.

91
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: Correct.

92
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: You know I did hear Kat say, like you know,

93
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: he was talking about Kevin Heart. Like with Kevin Heart,

94
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: how many people you know, come to La with a

95
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: movie and a sitcom and it's that well. Unfortunately I

96
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: was watching them, I'm like, damn cat never, he don't know,

97

Speaker 3: Don't he don't know. Jesus Christ. You know how Kevin

101
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: gets deals like that?

102
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: You go to the Just for Last festival in Montreal,

103
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: which is one of the biggest comedy festivals in the world.

104
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: You know what happens at the Montreal Comedy Festival.

105
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: You go up on stage, have a great fight at

106
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 2: ten minutes, and the next day you're meeting with studio

107
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: execs that are actually there. They were giving people deals

108
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: at these festivals. That festival helped change my life.

109
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: They still do that, still do it. It's still the biggest.

110
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: Like a lot of us go now get awards from

111
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: it now.

112
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: I got an award as a breakout comedy star a

113
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, and I remember my speech.

114
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: It was teared up giving my speech.

115
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: You know why, because I sat in the back of

116
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: that room ten years ago as a new face comic.

117
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: It was like, one day I'm gonna be up there

118
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: to get an award.

119
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: I got my award and I stood I literally it

120
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: was packed in now and I looked. I said, I

121
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: told the comics, I love the speech, and there I said,

122
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 2: I forget the speech. I sat in that last seat

123
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: back there, that last seat back there, and watched these

124
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 2: that award show and spoke that up that I was

125
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: gonna be up there getting this one day. You know,

126
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: I'll say this once again, you don't know everybody's journey

127
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: like that.

128
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 3: You don't.

129
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: And I think people gotta be okay with not understand

130
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: different parts of the game.

131
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: Like brother, the festivals a lot of people got.

132
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: It was the time the early two thousands May, they

133
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: was giving out deals at the HBO Assming Festival, and

134
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: it just for last festival they was getting me cast

135
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 2: like five hundred thousand dollars.

136
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: And a half me like like like just money.

137
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: I think Kat might have wanted the people that got

138
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: one of those deals at one point.

139
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: Whatever opportunities you get, that's on you.

140
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 4: What you do with it, right.

141
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: You can't judge nobody else. How they took, how they

142
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: took the ball and ran with it.

143
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's why I had to say that.

144
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart producer, he actually executive produced your first full

145
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,320

149
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: Cut Boys. Uh, Naim couldn't do a show. I think

150
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 2: it was in Chicago somewhere, and he told Kevin, like,

151
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: you should have real open up And that's that's how

152
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: it happened. Niam was doing something else, suggested me, and

153
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: that's how me and Kevin met.

154
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: And you, because you had asked, said also, because you're

155

00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,119
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't talk about Russell Peters. Russell

161
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 2: Peters is one of the most giving comedians of all time,

162
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: like like literally giving, like he's man, I don't know anybody.

163
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: Most of us have stories about him just looking out

164
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: for us and not asking for anything back man like

165
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: he's And then once again, a lot of the cast

166
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 2: are like that. You know, Chris Spencer, all these different

167
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: there's so many different people. That's that sold into my

168
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: career that I I. Man, I'm very appreciative of them.

169
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: When you were in Fatherhood with Kevin.

Speaker 1: you in some of its films.

172
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: Well, our Fatherhood is interest because I think I got

173
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: that because somebody else got in trouble and because it

174
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: was very last minute. I was shooting something else at

175
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 2: the time and I really didn't want to do anything.

176
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to take a break, and you know, they

177
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: kept calling and I was like, I asked for a

178
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: crazy number, like they give us this that I do.

179
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, they say yes, and I was like,

180
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: ad I do it. But yeah, it was really that

181
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: was kind of last minute, but it was fun to

182
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: do with Kevin. That Fatherhood was Actually that's actually a

183
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,440

00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,480

Speaker 3: And other people are get mad at this. Geron Carmichael

204
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: h real, oh man.

205
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: I mean, look, you know I remember, and I got

206
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: you know, I got honorable mentions like Dionna Coles and

207
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: different people like that. But like, you know, somebody recently

208
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: put out one of these lists of who's the whatever.

209
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: Everybody's trying to figure out what the criteria is, right right,

210
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: And I've purposely done things. I purposely done the amount

211
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 2: of specials I've done, I've purposely done all the movies

212
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: and television shows.

213
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: And all this stuff. And I'm like, don't consistency count.

214
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: But it's like if you're not a part of the

215
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: hype machine of things you're never really in a conversation.

216
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: We still got people who still want to be a

217
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: part of these lists too much.

218
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: I graduated list.

219
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: The reason why I don't mentioned Chappelle the Riach, why

220
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: I don't mention Chris Rock. I do believe people graduate.

221
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: I think said graduated. I think you know Chris graduated,

222
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: Dave graduated from from being on the list of Kevin

223
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 2: Is graduated being on a like y'all kings and ogs.

224
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: I need to be on these lists no more. Right,

225
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Yeah, I do, and so yeah.

226
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: That's that's that's my list. I think one of the

227
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: psychs to me is the most underrated legend, like Wanda

228
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: She She's fucking brilliant.

229
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: I like some more Likeadell Gibbings.

230
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: I love all of them, but were talking about like

231
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: that right now. But this is just my this is

232
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: my opinion.

233
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm asking you, okay, we'll give me your

234
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: five greatest comedians of all time.

235
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: That's easy.

236
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: And I was thinking about this earlier because Richard is

237
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: who we all put is no more, but I don't

238
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: know if we I think he's the almost like the

239
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 2: creator of the style what we are.

240
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if we put Richard on that, but

241
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: we just know Richard isn't.

242
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: Yes, Richard, Yeah, I don't know how you have a

243
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: list if he's not on it.

244
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but he don't have to be neither. He's

245
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: just the guy. Well, how you have a list like

246
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: he's a comedy guy. Yes, but I'm saying, how do

247
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: you have a list and Misel Jordan in on the list?

248
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: You're right, You're right, okay, all the time you asked

249
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: me that. So Richard pryor Eddie Murphy, Mom's Mayley, Bernie Mack,

250
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: Robin Harris. Okay, that's my top five, and Eddie's to me,

251
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: he's the you know, that's that's that's who I've emulated

252
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: my the way I do stand up, telling the stories,

253
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 2: acting out characters. All that stuff is based off watching

254
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy. Listening to every Eddie Murphy album.

255
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: How many times do you watch Wrong? Oh?

256
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: I've seen Wrong a million times, but I watched the

257
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 2: lyrics there. It's way more time. Matter of fact, this

258
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: an album he has. I bought a best of Eddie

259
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: Murphy cassette tape that I ended up downloaded recently, but

260
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: I bought the tape.

261
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: I had to take the years and the joke he does.

262
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: About getting hit by a car, it's to this day

263
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: one of the funniest bits of all time.

264
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, you did a bit with Chappelle. What made

265
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: Chappelle so great? You know what makes Chappelle so great?

266
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: It's his honesty, you know.

267
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: I like the fact that Chappelle decided he didn't want

268
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: to focus on anything else but stand up.

269
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: It's almost like he didn't want.

270
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: The other part of his career no more because he

271
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: wanted people just to look at a stand up. This

272
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: last Chappelle special is I think it's amazing. I really

273
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: enjoyed it. It's really funny, and I know people are

274
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: you know, people are upset about or whatever, but it's

275
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: so interesting. I think this is his silliest special I've seen.

276
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: In a while.

277
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: And I love that actually, because I do think sometimes

278
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: we all get too serious in comedy and it feels

279
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: like a tear talk.

280
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: But this one was just funny and silly, and I

281
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: loved this.

282
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 4: His s and l special was that might be the

283
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 4: top ten, that one, that last one he did.

284
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know, I don't know if he's ever

285
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: done a bad monologue. Yeah, yeah, he's, he's, he's that's

286
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: that's that's one of my that's my not not lasted.

287
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: But one of the things on my bucket list that

288
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: I that I really have to do is you know,

289
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: it's not even just about the monol monologue. Who I

290
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: got that, but like I want to just do the

291
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: funniest sketches you see.

292
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: You know a guy that doesn't get the credit that

293
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: I think he deserves. And obviously, and and this is

294
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: we know what transpirted outside of comedy is Bill Cosby.

295
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: And you didn't have the you had a couple of

296
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: running with him. Well you're having it with everybody.

297
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: Hold up, I didn't have no running with Bill. That

298
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: was Hannibal. Don't don't By. He had no run in

299
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: with him. Neither nobody had a run in with Bill Cosby,

300
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: none of it. None of us had to run. I

301
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: think Gerard is the only one I know who had

302
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: a conversation.

303
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: With Bill Cosby.

304
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: Right, anybody else does, But Hannibal had Hannibal the one

305
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: that told joke that guy everything seemingly reignited.

306
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: So that's what they said.

307
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 2: That's what they said. I don't blame like, you can't

308
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: blame nobody. That's this is think about it. So Cosby

309
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: has been in conversations amongst the comedians and diners for you,

310
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: after one in the morning.

311
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: We all eat food. It's literally heated debate before before.

312
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: It even came out right, Yes, it was just conversations

313
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: about it, and so like it's very interesting. Like I

314
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: think Cosby is one of the greatest stand up comics

315
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: of all time.

316
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: I do believe that, but he's not on my list.

317
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: I feel about that. I didn't present bad on that.

318
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: Oh that's a tough one. See, that's why I'm like

319
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: doing top five.

320
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: Remember why why do you think some of the older

321
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: comics have a problem with some of.

322
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 4: The younger comics?

323
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: Man, I could break that down.

324
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: So you know what's funny about me, Shannon, I'm in

325
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: between both glasses of comics. So, like, you know, my

326
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: big brothers are Said and d Ray and all those guys, right,

327
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: and then my little brothers are Gerard and Hannibal and

328
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: all those guys. And over the years I've had to

329
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: have heated arguments with some of my OJ's about them,

330
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: Like what Egan was just outright hating on some of

331
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: them like man, the white people in the l and

332
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: they only get the deals because they I'm like, fam nah,

333
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: they worked really hard. See a lot of y'all got

334
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: y'all money about cars and jury and all this other stuff.

335
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: That brother brought final draft and learned how to write

336
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: a script right this, Brothers. You know, I told I

337
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: brake upbout Girard all the time. I recently saw somebody

338
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: say this.

339
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 4: And I love my.

340
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: Big brother Corey Hokum.

341
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: I love him to death, Chicago o G. But he'd

342
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: be saying crazy shit that doesn't make sense.

343
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: Recently he said something about Girard. Now that's so crazy.

344
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: I just saw him and we embraced, but he was

345
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: being a little hesitant, and I was like, but he

346
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: didn't know.

347
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: I didn't see the Girard thing.

348
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: First, he called Girard an industry plan right because he

349
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: said he had a sitcom and he hosted Jim Kon.

350
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 4: You ain't got something that don't mean everybody playing.

351
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: And that's my point, you cause I you know, I

352
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: got a little upset about it because I'm like, well,

353
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: I've seen Gerard.

354
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: I did Carmichael Show with you every single night.

355
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: Take that script home after he leaves the writer's room

356
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: with the writers.

357
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: He took it home personally.

358
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: Stayed up till about five six in the morning, had

359
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: to meet us all on set at seven point thirty

360
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: to rehearse it. That's work ethic. You don't people have

361
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: success like that because they really put the work in.

362
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: They fucking put the work in. And I know a

363
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: lot of cash here. I know you're not putting in

364
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: that type of work. I love you to death, but

365
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: you're not. And it's easy to say, hey, this person

366
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: did it this easy route and did all this other

367
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: shit because you don't know they work ethic, right, you

368
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: can't talk about you do you write and do all

369
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: this shit. It's and it's it's funny because I'm watching

370
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: it from this older generation and they all everybody's like, yeah,

371
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: you know, I was offered this movie, but then they

372
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: wanted me which movie was it? So I could see

373
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: what the like, stop this shit mm hmmm, because every

374
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,239
Speaker 2: some of us just worked our asshole. Like I was

375
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: even just hearing Cats hear all the things he'd been

376
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: through and why he didn't do this or go here

377
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: and do this.

378
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, cause you and Cat had some back and forth,

379
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: y'all cool?

380
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: Now, No, not really, but it's it's okay, it's okay,

381
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: it's okay. We don't have to be because his success

382
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: is his success and my success is my success.

383
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 4: What started it?

384
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: Well, this is think about it. That Wanda Smith interview. Yeah,

385
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: the one, the part nobody talks about. It is for

386
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: no reason. Cat brings up me, Gerard and Hannibal Birds

387
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: for no reason at all. Okay, I don't even remember

388
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: what the fucking question was. He just let it ay

389
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: you you can't real. Yeah, they gonna make you a style,

390

00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: So what the fuck I got to do with this?

Speaker 2: You were in there one that Yeah, that's the beginning

394
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 2: of the interview. That's what made Wan to kind of

395
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: start fucking with him. Now, don't get me wrong, Like

396
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: the whole wander back and forth of him is the

397
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: funniest ship ever. Oh yeah, and you know, and wander

398
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: wasn't always nice to all of us, to be quite honest,

399
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: So it was kind of it's very interesting that all

Speaker 2: this transpirt.

401
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,880

Speaker 3: About to turn that m means into the source of warf.

473
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: You once said that you believe Cat was jealous of you.

474
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: You still feel that way.

475
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 3: No, I was just talking shit. I don't think he's

476
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: jealous of me.

477
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 2: I do think he's jealous of Kevin Hart and and

478
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: it's so weird because he don't have to be like, brother,

479
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: you are so fucking successful, Like you're one of the

480
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: most successful stand up comedians we've ever seen. You didn't

481
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: have the hype machine. Honestly, he's the benefit of Bootleg DVDs.

482
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 2: You remember when they like, yeah, every in Chicago. I

483
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: remember being in Chicago at the time. Everybody had that

484
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: hat Wini, specially in the right and because you know,

485
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: bootleg helped comedy at that time.

486
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 3: Right, because those people go buy tickets.

487
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: To see you, right, Absolutely, the Bootleg man really was

488
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: your damn he was your promoter. Yes, they watch you

489
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 2: at the crib and you would sell out all your

490
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: shows and cat benefited from that man. And I think

491
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: I think he's not even just stand up man. Like

492
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: anytime you see him on.

493
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 4: Screen, Oh yeah, you just want to hear me for Atlanta.

00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 2: at this I don't give a rat's ass.

505
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: But at the same time I do, I really do

506
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,320

00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to sound like some old let's get

508
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: a loan shit, but like, god damn, it's no reason

509
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: why we can't do another Harlem with all this great

510
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: fucking talent, or not even the Harlem that, but just

511
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: a movie that features everybody, you know what I mean, man,

512
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: like Nick tried to do with School Dan's. But like,

513
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 2: let's find something with it, like a really good script,

514
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: some really dope shit, and like fucking get all these

515
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: powerhouses on fucking screen together. Like I'm sick of this shit, right,

516
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 2: it doesn't make fucking sense. You know it's not it's

517
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: you know you, and it's be honest with you, it's

518
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 2: a bunch of old beasts. So I'll say this right now.

519
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 2: Can't look, I'm just talking shit. I ain't mad at you.

520
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,359

00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: don't really give a fuck, but I respect you and

524
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: I respect all y'all. So like, I just think we

525
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: all figure out a way to like merge this ship up, man,

526
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: Like we all talk shit, man, but I don't think

527
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 2: we should bring in all behind the scenes comedy mess

528
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: right on a four and just call call these people,

529
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: call Ricky and tell Ricky, hey, man, Ricky, I don't

530
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: like the way you was talking ship on the Friday,

531
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: said about how that was supposed to be your road,

532
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 2: and just talk it out. Carl said to say, said, man,

533
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: I felt like that joke. That really a joke. That's

534
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: not even a big fucking deal. And they both do

535
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: it totally differently, and it's a joke. Noney, you need anymore.

536
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: Let's talk this ship out, even with Steve Harvey. Talk

537
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: this shit out, man. You know, Bernie, we don't have

538
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: to show Bernie love by shitting on somebody else. Bernie's

539
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: one of the greatest to ever fucking do it, one

540
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 2: of the hugest influences ever in this game. He's one

541
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: of the cast to me that are always gonna represent

542
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: a grown ass man in his fucking business. And I

543
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 2: don't know Bernie would let this shit fly like this

544
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: because he wasn't that type of dude. He won't gonna be,

545
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: you know, even when Bernie talked about even if they

546
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 2: be playing the Clipper about comic.

547
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 4: Stealing jokes, but he was.

548
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: That's that's really vice.

549
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 4: To this day.

550
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: It's the reason why I don't go up at l

551
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: A a lot.

552
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 4: And so like that.

553
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: And I get it because most of the time people

554
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 2: want to do what they think is the hot thing

555
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: to do. If you're the hot thing, guess who they're

556
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna mind make and to make it because

557
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: everybody want to make it.

558
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: That's one thing people talk about all this other ship.

559
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, like people steal styles and dialect and

560
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 2: all type of ship because they like, well, this person

561
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: made it. So you know, that's that's I just I

562
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: love and let me give you some props too, because

563
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: and any other comic that does is after this, we realize,

564
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: I realize how mainstream you are. I don't know if

565
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: you know that ship and you've only had us on here,

566
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: and so I think you know, for the most part,

567
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: you know I told my story and hopefully inspire somebody.

568
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: That's what we should be doing, telling our stories and

569
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: promoting each other, not even just in stand up and

570
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 2: fucking movies or TV.

571
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 4: We have to.

572
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 2: We have movies like the color Purple, Dion Cola comic

573
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 2: is in color purple. Come on, man, that's crazy. Comic

574
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 2: View Depth Jam It's in the reimagined movie and color purple. Wow,

575
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 2: that's crazy. And so we have all these things happening.

576
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 4: You know.

577
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: We got the Aver duven As and the movies like

578
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: Origin and fucking American fiction. I love every I watch,

579
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 2: and I love everybody, and I don't know like cornball shit.

580
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: I just love Shannon. I love this shit.

581
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 2: I love stand up, I love movies, I love TV.

582
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: I thank God every day that I'm able to be.

583
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: I had a moment when he was in quarantine. I

584
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: was sitting at home and I was watching TV, and

585
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: I was on like three things, like I had three

586
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: of my movies. And I remember sitting back on my

587
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 2: couch talking to myself into something I learned in therapy.

588
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: But I was talking a little me like, oh shit,

589
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: you made it inside, you made it.

590
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 3: Inside of TV.

591
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: I used to only watch that to take me away

592
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: from shit. It was so unrealistic, but I made it

593
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 2: inside there. Didn't do anything crazy, didn't have no connections.

594
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: I just worked really hard and look at this.

595
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 4: Wow, you were supposed to be in the reboot of

596
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 4: Living Color. Yeah, what happened?

597
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: It's really hard to tell. I don't like we shot

598
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: it and wasn't funny.

599
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: Man, it was so much funny. It was so funny.

600
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: I mean the opening skit, I mean, I guess I

601
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: could tell it now is it's killing every wings. He's

602
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: sitting in the Fox office in nineteen night whatever time

603
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: he walked away. They're like, you never come you never

604
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 2: have a show on Fox again, You'll never be here, blah.

605
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: The white guys are telling them all, and him looking

606
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: at the camera and just goes dad, and we're back.

607
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: And so to open it.

608
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: With that, which maybe one of the reasons why didn't

609
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: come on, which I thought was explosive. I tell you, man,

610
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: I learned so much from Keen Ivy ways. I wrote

611

Speaker 2: to merge.

700
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,760

702
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:35,480

00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 2: but the super Bowl and Living Color did a special.

707
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 3: Everybody turned to a Living club. Ratings through the roof.

708
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,040

Speaker 3: in and read. So this is the first funny day.

726
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: The Carmichael Show was set up a different way than

727
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: it was, and you guys ended up seeing it was

728
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:54,880

Speaker 3: Why a you not?

737
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 2: He said, because you did it differently than I envisioned

00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: the character.

739
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,960

00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: know her.

780
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 3: You know, she lost her grandmother, she lost like one

781
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 3: of her oldest dogs.

782
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 2: She loved, like I know her for ever, and so

783
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: she just has so many loss, just loss, and I

784
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 2: think she just' she didn't take enough time to like

785
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 2: deal with certain things. And her machine is like this,

786
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 2: she works all the time, and so a lot of

787
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 2: the lot of the stuff she was going through more

788
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 2: or less's fatigue.

789
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 3: You gotta rest, you know. I give back to Cat's advice,

790
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 3: don't let these niggas burn you out, and that's real.

791
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: You do have to pace yourself.

792
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: And she's fine, like she's she's she's holding herself accountable

00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 2: had a very hard to heart about both of us

797
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: taking those steps in general. It's just like like what

798
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: are we doing, like learn her to not participate in

799
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 2: things just because it's available to you and taking time

800
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,560

803
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: Times because people like love to attack her and it's

804
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 2: so fucking weird to me, Like one of the nicest

805
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 2: people you'll ever meet, one of the most hardworking people

806
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 2: you ever meet. But you know, I always tell her like,

807
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: that's why you can't care about pleasing people. You know,

808
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: you care about what everybody fucking thinks. Man, that's draining, right, man.

00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,600

Speaker 2: can do so many different storylines with all them now, right,

824
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,040

Speaker 2: A disgusting way more about it didn't make any sense,

936
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 2: and it wasn't even just about me because I couldn't

937
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 2: look at.

938
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 3: It like I'm new and so it was my whatever.

939
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: But I looked at the other black veterans were shows

940
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 2: and I'm like, this is what they're making. Look, I say,

941
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 2: a couple of things have to happen. You got to

942
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 2: be able to say no, and you got to have

943
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 2: the right team also, right were Yeah, we're asking Hollywood.

944
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: They definitely need to investigate that because that's the problem.

945
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 4: Right.

946
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 2: It's like it's with everybody, But you do have to

947
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 2: have the right fucking team.

948
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 3: Angela Bassett right now.

949
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,040

00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: as she deserved and probably deserved it. Yeah, and so

952
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: I just really believe that. And also too, we all

953
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 2: have to be honest with each other. And I'm talking

954
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 2: about I speak to the camera again, brothers, black actors, males, men,

955

Speaker 2: about this too.

957
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 3: This is the only way all this.

958
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 2: Is gonna change, because right now, everybody like, look cool,

959
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,320

962
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,359

963
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 2: she called me and she was working on the deal.

964
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: I said, well, this is what I got, this is

965
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 2: what you should ask for. I was very honest. That's

966
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: all we have to do is be Honest's start with

967
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 2: being honest with you, ye, right, and then we have

968
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: to communicate that and just you know, push our teams right.

969
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 2: Fuck that ship man, Like if I did this and

970
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,600

Speaker 1: A minture, absolutely, because motherfuckers is getting that bad.

975
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 4: Your sit car.

976
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: If you could go back and do anything differently, what

977
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: would you do different.

978
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 3: A lot of shit. One of the biggest things I

979
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 3: wish I'd have did better at was trusted my writers

980
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 3: more and trusting everybody. I think.

981
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes that strike the iron wires hot mentality or I

982
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 2: know for me, I wanted to represent black people so bad,

983
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: and so I wanted to do whatever it was. I

984
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 2: put too much on myself, man, and I should have

985
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: trusted more to the people.

986
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 3: I hired to do that.

987
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: I was strussed the funk out doing that shit right,

988
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 2: like I really was, but it was it was fun.

989
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 2: But one of the things I would just trust everybody

990
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: when not even just my writers. I could have did

991
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: a better job at trusted and being a better leader.

992
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 2: But I analyzed myself after that with my friends, you

993
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 2: know what I mean, And there was a lot of

994
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 2: changes out to make after that because I put a

995
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: lot on myself with that show.

996
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 4: I heard you earlier say the last audition was to

997
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 4: get out right.

998
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah and well really insecure, but you haven't.

999
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 4: So now they just send your skills, say different, and.

1000
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 2: Then you know a lot of times if I liked it,

1001
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 2: it's a process, right, there'll send you the script, they say, ready,

1002
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 2: offer this to you.

1003
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 3: I'll look at the script or two pager, you know something.

1004
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 2: My manager to do a two pager for me, and

1005
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 2: then I tell him I like it, and then either

1006
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 2: I meet with a producer director, just go break bread.

1007
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 3: Like it's one of like the cool little reference like

1008
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 3: catching something. Just talk it out, see what the energy

1009
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 3: feels like, and then just take it from there. That's

1010
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 3: literally been that simple.

1011
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 2: It's been like, which is why, like once again, when

1012
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: I hear these, I hear the horror.

1013
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: Story, but I'm like, Jesus Christ, I've never been through that.

1014
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 3: Thank God. It's been the most regulars, normalist thing you

1015
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 3: could think of. Yeah, they talk about the script.

1016
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: Right, So what was the table real like for or

1017
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: get Out? Did you know it was gonna be what

1018
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: it became?

1019
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 2: None of us knew that, nothing like none of them.

1020
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 2: Well let me say this, So we didn't do a

1021
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 2: table read for it, but I remember my one on

1022
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: one with Jordan Peel. It was my callback audition and

1023
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 2: we did the scene that we took out. So it

1024
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 2: was the original ending. The original ending, daniel Lew's character

1025
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: goes to jail. I go visit him in jail, and

1026
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get him to tell me what happened

1027
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 2: so I could at least like trying to find a

1028
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 2: way to get him out.

1029
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 3: But he's kind of just like, man, you know what

1030
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 3: it is. I'm black. They're not gonna let me out.

1031
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 2: Bro, just leave it. It's such a dark, hard scene. Yes,

1032
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 2: And that's the scene we did the callback for. And

1033
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 2: I remember because it's very emotional because even when we

1034
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 2: shot that that one first, I remember I couldn't even

1035
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: hear Jordan pill yell cut. We all were so like

1036
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 2: emotional about that. It was very telling. I met him

1037
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 2: just going and everybody took a walk. It was it's

1038
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 2: just a cour and we was outside and it felt silence, right,

1039
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: And we did that scene. I walk out waiting on

1040
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 2: my uber.

1041
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 3: Jordan Peele follows me out. He said, look, man, I

1042
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 3: ain't supposed to take this ship, but it's yours if

1043
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 3: you want to. I said, what the movie? I'm literally

1044
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 3: I got like foul homies in there about to go

1045
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 3: in there and read I said, what you mean? You

1046
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 3: got four people? You know, I'm gonna call your teens,

1047
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 3: but it's yours.

1048
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 2: And look, Shannon, I didn't know what this movie was

1049
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: gonna be. But when I tell you and this is,

1050
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 2: this is one hundred percent what happened. I literally walked.

1051
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know how many blocks I walked.

1052
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 2: I walked from where I did the audition that to

1053
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 2: wherever the fuck I was at, praising God. And I

1054
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 2: didn't know what get Out was gonna be. It was

1055
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 2: my first feature film. It was just something felt special

1056
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: about him. I can't even describe that. And then like

1057
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 2: even when a trailer came out and it did all

1058
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 2: these numbers and we went to we had to go

1059
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 2: do reshoots? Could we reshot the ending? Because now we

1060
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 2: got some you know, the trailer did well. University gave

1061
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 2: some months some more money, so and I'm able to,

1062
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 2: you know. And so we're we all sitting around just

1063
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 2: kind of like I guess, having like a cocktail, and

1064
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: we was me Dane, like all of us was looking

1065
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 2: at each other like.

1066
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: What the fuck is this gonna be? Because the trailer

1067
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: went crazy. We were just did Jordan have any idea

1068
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: of what this was going?

1069
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 3: He did? The brother told me while he was edited it.

1070
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 2: He called me and said, man, get ready, know your price,

1071
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 2: know your number.

1072
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 3: I ain't know what the fuck that meant. I was like,

1073
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 3: what do you mean?

1074
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 2: He's like, man, you go up, hey, you about to

1075
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 2: see it was chript to be coming, been coming. He

1076
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 2: knew it like it's it's I remember the first time

1077
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: I watched it out. It was so good to be.

1078
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, if I think this is good because I'm

1079
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 2: in it.

1080
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 4: It was that was that was a good one. That

1081
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 4: was so so how did that movie? You said? He said,

1082
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 4: name your price?

1083
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: So in other words, that movie changed the payscale for real.

1084
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 3: It changed the payscale. It changed.

1085
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 2: How I was looked at me because from there is

1086
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 2: where the sitcom comes. That's where this comes, you know.

1087
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 2: It was it became my back to back. And we

1088
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 2: only in twenty four nine, and I think about it

1116
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 4: When I know British night.

1117
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,680

00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 4: You brought to Jordan's.

1119
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: But I mean, now, look at the Julis Black Messiah,

1120
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: Good Boys, bird Box. I mean, you've been in Paul

1121
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: Patroled the Top Roll, so that movie you became after that,

1122
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: you became a household name.

1123
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 2: I became a household name, and my name started circulating

1124
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 2: in Hollywood, right, you know that's man, that's that to me,

1125
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 2: that's still surreal. I still pinch myself because I know

1126
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 2: how hard it is. Right, you know, I see friends

1127
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 2: all the time still self taping and doing all these

1128
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:49,720
Speaker 2: different things.

1129
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, shit.

1130
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 2: And the weird part about that is this is why

1131
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 2: I say, it's such a beautiful thing to celebrate others.

1132
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 2: When Tiffany came out with Girls Trip, matter of fact,

1133
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: when wet her film Girls treat Man, Hannibal went to

1134
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 2: Essence Festival literally last minute one year, it was we

1135
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 2: probably write a movie about Hannibal and real Essence. At first,

1136
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 2: we had no passes. We had the best time in

1137
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 2: the world. We were just we saw It's secure the

1138
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 2: first time, like it was fucking crazy. And I remember

1139
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 2: watching Tiffany walk with Queen Latifa and Jada Pikett Smith

1140
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 2: and it was a scene they did in the auditoria

1141
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 2: and she's walking with them.

1142
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 3: And I'm like blown away, like, yo, she gone.

1143
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 4: You walk?

1144
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,719

Speaker 2: gone man, and so celebrating people with my friends. I

1146
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,879
Speaker 2: think I've always given myself good karma with that ship, right,

1147
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.

1148
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, you've been in a movie with Lakeith Stanfield,

1149
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,560

1397
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:00,919
Speaker 2: be the only time I could tell it.

1398
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: But well, I would let you tell it. I was

1399
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna set it up, but I'm gonna let you tell it.

1400
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 3: It's because it's been been told before. But but this

1401
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 3: is what I'll.

1402
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 2: Say, and this is how you clear this up. And

1403
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 2: this is the grown ship. We have a beautiful son

1404
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 2: together named Harlem Howry. He's amazing. He's autistic, you know.

1405
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 2: And we may not have the perfect relationship right though,

1406
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 2: because it was a lot of ship she put me through,

1407
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 2: she really did. But at the same time, we got

1408
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 2: this beautiful baby here, and that's all the focus is on, right,

1409
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 2: you know. Look, and don't get me wrong, believe me,

1410
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 2: it was you know, it was like Wendy Williams and everybody.

1411
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 2: It was as it was a lot of ship. But

1412
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 2: at the same time, this is the grown ship, Like

1413
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 2: you know, he's here and it's not not you know.

1414
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 4: He was married at the time. Nah, she wasn't married.

1415
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 4: What she was, Yes, what I'm saying, she was married

1416
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 4: at the time.

1417
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 3: But look y, look.

1418
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 4: Up, thrill, you deserve everything you got. Messed with a

1419
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 4: married woman.

1420
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 3: I didn't know she was married. She didn't tell you.

1421
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 3: She said there was divorced at the time. But I'm not.

1422
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 3: Let me say this again. I can't. And we're talking

1423
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 3: about black people, because black people divorced different than.

1424
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, you know what I mean.

1425
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 2: I left, Yeah, he left the house three years ago.

1426
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 2: That they don't do the paperwork, nobody want to pay

1427
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 2: the fees. They got whole relationships and so like I'll say,

1428
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 2: you know once again, you know, I don't she's we have.

1429
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 2: We don't have the perfect relationship at all. And I

1430
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 2: didn't like any of that ship that she did, and

1431
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 2: nobody deserves any of that right. And you know, but

1432
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 2: at the same time, I don't hate her for it.

1433
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at her for it. I moved on

1434
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 2: from it, and at this point it's just for me.

1435
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 2: I think the focush would just be making sure we

1436
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 2: raised this little man to be the best human being

1437
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 2: he possibly, that's that's all I care about. So I

1438
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 2: got it's it's old news, so it's like with it talk.

1439
01:07:59,480 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1440
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 2: I mean, anything's tough when you're well. First of all's

1441
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 2: tough being alone distance dad, right, you know that that's

1442
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 2: that's what made this whole situation very unique him, you

1443
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 2: know what it was. And I knew that from the beginning,

1444
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 2: and I tried to explain that to her, but at

1445
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 2: that time she just really wasn't She wasn't listening.

1446

01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 2: I'm a Brittany was young. Brittany was like, she looks sick.

1455

Speaker 2: She's like, oh, what the hell did you do?

1456
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? But when I tell you

1457
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 3: one of the first time I brought Harlem home and

1458
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 3: I had all of them.

1459
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 2: With me for like, I think the holiday one of

1463
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:27,920

1465
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,040

1466
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 3: I got y'all back forever.

Speaker 3: You too, have had my back. I got you forever.

1470
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:43,519

Speaker 3: You can tell me anything, promise you I won't judge.

1474
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: Do your kids understand what you do, the sacrifices that

1475
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 1: you make, and that you might not be there for

1476
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 1: every event, but it's for the betterment of them.

1477
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,839
Speaker 2: They are like, so it's so interesting, said so Brittany

1478
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 2: and Judah understands that along with my ex wife, right,

1479
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 2: we're co parent and and you have to know who

1480
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 2: you with. I'm not going to be able to be

1481
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 2: there for a lot of the things, correct, you know,

1482
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And with Harlem, you know, in his miles,

1483
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 2: sometimes it feels like like you do know who I am? Right,

1484
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 2: like what my life is and job is, yeah, and

1485
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 2: so like what do you I'm in one random day

1486
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 2: ship and are like, could you come get him? Nigga,

1487
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 2: I'm in La you in Chicago?

1488
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 3: Just get about private. I don't have a private Even

1489
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 3: if I have it, it's still crazy.

1490
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 2: Then, right, and so you know, but but that's an

1491
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 2: adjustment too, And that's why, like co parenting is very

1492
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 2: important and sometimes it takes a while. But I don't know, man,

1493
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 2: I like my ex wife, me and her have figured

1494
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 2: it out in a way where I think I'm confident

1495
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 2: that you know, with Harlem it gets smoother at some point,

1496
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 2: but you know it's not always smooth, and you know

1497
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 2: you're and.

1498
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: You're never doing enough right of course, you know what

1499
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean. So it's like, right, I'm gonna get you
