5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: saying that you said it was. What I'm saying that

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: everything that happens in a business that's based off of

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: pretends that seems like a setup is And that is

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,160

Speaker 1: then the taming cannecked warm. Hey, everybody, welcome to another addition,

24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: Nick Um. So this week I've been been having all

25
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: these different conversations about um, what is our responsibility as

26
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: black folks, and what is our responsibility as a culture

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: as a country, what's our responsibility as a human being? Right,

28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: all of the heavy conversations, I've been happy. And oftentimes

29
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: when I have these heavy conversations, I find comedy helps me.

30
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Meaning I listened to certain comedians, I listened to certain

31
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: comedy specials. I look for laughs in the sadness. I

32
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: look for laughs to make sense of what's going on

33
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: in our our world. And if you follow this podcast,

34
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: you know I talked about this often. So the other night,

35
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: Cat Williams World War Three, his Netflix special is out,

36
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: and I'm watching it and I'm laughing because Cat Williams

37
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: humor much like UM a couple of other comedians that

38
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: I enjoy. It's very cerebral. It makes you think, you're like, wait,

39
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Explain that to me? Um? And

40
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: there were a lot of funny. There are a lot

41
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: of a lot of funny moments. It was a good special,

42
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: It really was. But then I get a call on

43
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: him and they're like, hey, Cat is doing press. I'm like, great,

44
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: cann he come on the podcast and he is. That

45
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: is our guest. We have Cat Williams Specials drops at midnight,

46
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: I believe midnight going into Thursday. He's on the podcast

47
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: Thursday the day and we're giving it to you right now,

48
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: and he didn't hope back like it is special. We

49
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: talked about what he does for a living, how he

50
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: how he gathers his content, the process of doing what

51
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: he does, and how he's really truly a boss in

52
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: this business. It's interesting because everyone's claiming to have money

53
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: and be this and be that, but he's doing it.

54
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: He owns everything. His relationships with certain people, i e. Prince.

55
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: We talked about that and how influential he was in

56
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: Prince's life. He told me about his relationship with Steph

57
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: Curry and the NBA and what he shared with stuff

58
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: about just shooting from the logo like just let it

59
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: loose because they ain't gonna set up the defense. They're

60
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: not gonna be ready. He is surprising, smart, intelligent, probably

61
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: think yes, most definitely a deep thinker. Uh. And oftentimes

62
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: you'll hear I'll say, explain that, what do you mean?

63
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Because it's truly so um ahead of what I'm thinking.

64
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: I want to make sure we're on the same wavelength.

65
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: And then we get into Will Smith in the slap

66
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: with Chris Rock, and what he says about Chris Rock

67
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: was a little jarring to me, true but jarring. So

68
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: pay attention to that, like literally, pay attention to that.

69
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: He talks about what a hero Jada Pinkett Smith is.

70
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: I repeat that woman deserves to be respected. I'm tired

71
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: of people slandering her, saying she did Will wrong, and

72
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: what she did was Will's she may will slap that

73
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: man No, man on on, no, no, you don't understand

74
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: even how the game works, that's not how she moved

75
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: and that's not what she did. I need you all

76
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: to pay attention to that. Uh. And last, but not least,

77
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: and there's still more. Catt Williams is a solid human.

78
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm not an artist, nor am I comedian in that respect.

79
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm an artist in my own way, but I think

80
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: people who think differently and who have different thoughts and

81
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: who are bold and speaking their truth are often are

82
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: often shunned by a commune. You give people who want

83
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: the status quo to remain because you don't want to

84
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: upset the apple cart. You want to keep it. Don't

85
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: be out here, be a free thinker, y'all here thinking

86
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: for free y'aut here coming up, what ideas, especially for

87
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: you black stand down. Please follow the system that says

88
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: y'all don't matter, and then we'll pick a few of

89
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: the automatter and be happy with the few that we

90
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: allow into the world to matter. So his Netflix special

91
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: up ready, rolling right now. Watch it. Either watch it

92
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: before you listen to the podcast or after you listen

93
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: to the podcast. But when you watch it, this podcast

94
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: will then click for you. Cat Williams is naked and

95
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: um so, so the podcast is what i't even explaining

96
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: what the podcast is, but explaining what it is. I

97
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: just interview people that I'm a huge fan of and

98
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: I think that have amazing things going on in your life.

99
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: And I've been a fan of yours for a very

100
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: long time. Um So, thank you for doing this. I

101
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: do appreciate it, I really do. I only accept interviews

102
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: by people that I respect, and I am a fan

103
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: of their work and the fact of how they ask

104
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: people questions. I don't get paid for any of it,

105
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: and I don't have anybody that's in charge of me

106
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: doing things to sell products. So I have conversations with

107
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: those who I am honored to have a conversation with.

108
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: And there's only two two of the greatest things from Pasadena,

109
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: Hamblea Jones, and I receive it. I receive it. Thank

110
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: you well now that we know we're mutual fans. I

111
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: watched the special last night and then I woke up

112
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: this morning and I saw you were trending, and I'm

113
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: sure you knew all that would happen. The first thing

114
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: that I must ask you is pretty pretty obvious, but

115
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: why did you call it w W three? I write

116
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: these hour long sets an hour, I mean a year

117
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: before they're going to be filmed. So the risk on

118
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: my side of things is I have to write a

119
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: conversation and then have this conversation still be true, valid, current,

120
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: and relevant nine and a half months after I originally

121
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: write it. Um That means I have to know that

122
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: World War three is coming in order to trademark the

123
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: name and to write a special called that and have

124
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: in mind to have these conversations. Um. When you do

125
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: things like that, there's a chance that you're gonna be

126
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: successful and a chance that it won't connect. There's a

127
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: lot of different variables at play um, but UM. The

128
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: titles of the specials are based upon a feeling attached

129
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: to them. So in pimp chronicles, there aren't any pimp jokes,

130
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: or any Lady of the Evening jokes, or any jokes

131
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: about prostitution. It's just you are chronicling something. So World

132
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: War three is because that was the time that it

133
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: was going to happen. It was destined to happen. It

134
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: says it in everybody's religious books. It um says it

135
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: everywhere that it could say it. And time is circular,

136
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: so we can read what happened and what led up

137
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: to World War One enough to know that between World

138
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: War One and World War Two, we know exactly what

139
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: environments and settings have to be involved in the world

140
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: for one of these things to kick off. And that's

141
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: just where we are. Comedically, it means it's um cross

142
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: road period um. And personally for all of us with

143
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: COVID and the pandemic, it meant that the world was

144
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: going through some things right now that we couldn't really

145
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: look through history and see something like this happening. So

146
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: anytime something new is coming, this as a critical part

147
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: of evolution, and you have to document those commediately. I

148
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: do those with comedy specials, and that's to up one.

149
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: It is congratulations, by the way I think it is.

150
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: I read. You can correct me if I'm wrong. It's

151
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: the second one for Netflix. It's your twelfth one. But

152
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: the second one for Netflix. Is that accurate? Okay? So

153
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: how it works is for the first ten specials, I

154
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: funded the specials, wrote the specials, paid for the specials

155
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: to be shot and directed and produced and edited, and

156
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: I own all of them. Um. This was the first

157
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: time that I had to be UM partnered with Netflix

158
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: and the producers that they used, and I had to

159
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: be collaborative UM to put out a collaborative effort. It

160
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: was the second time that we did that. Yes, how

161
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: does it? What's the different process? I would think that

162
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: you would have more freedom creatively when you don't have

163
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: to partner. How was that working relationship? I'm curious after

164
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: everything that happened with Dave Chappelle, were they and I

165
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: know you filmed it a year before, but I'm curious

166
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: about their freedom and and letting you have all the

167
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: license you want to say and do. Um. Okay, it's

168
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: a weird situation because, um, I've never been given creative license.

169
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: I am the one hundred percent owner of all things

170
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: Cat Williams, own all my masters, all my specials. I've

171
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: not been sponsored or nobody put me on tour, put

172
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: me under their wing. I'm not the process of a

173
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: holding deal. Um, none of that. I this is all

174
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: done by us, our team only. So you can't give

175
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: me creative control. I had that when you met me,

176
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: um so eleven times I was able to do a

177
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: special where we were just able to do a special

178
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: good enough for you to put on the network. This

179
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: meant that, in my pursuit of trying to do the

180
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: best special I possibly could, that I took some of

181
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: the responsibility and handed that off to others, trusting how

182
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 1: they would do it. Um. So, even if I was

183
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: terribly disappointed with how it went or it turned out,

184
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't bad mouth it because we all in our

185
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: life have been in a relationship and we know that

186
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: no relationship is perfect. And um, all days are come

187
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: secum side. In real relationships, when it's good, it's great.

188
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: When it's bad, we're working on it. That's how that

189
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: goes in any relationship. So, um, this is no friend. Um.

190
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: Even people in real relationships right now can think back

191
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: to when they were single and what they might be

192
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: doing with their schedule would be Like if I was

193
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: single and didn't that in the streets in the street,

194
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: in the streets in the streets. My my my job

195
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: is to do things I haven't done before and to

196
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: continuously to be striving to be better. Um. So if

197
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: you were to tell me that my last foray was

198
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: on strikeout, I wouldn't take anything bad from it. I

199
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: understand that I'm the league leader in strikeout. I just

200
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: understand that I'm also the league leader at home run.

201
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: If you understand that those go together, then you will

202
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: understand why I'm where I'm at the twelve times I've

203
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: taken this risk, you know, And it's a risk that

204
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: in our lane as a comedian, you're not guaranteed to

205
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: be funny because you think you are. The customer is

206
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: always right. So that's that's how we do business. And

207
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: it's the I said this before too. Any time I've

208
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: ever interviewed anybody in committee and I've ever talked to

209
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: It's the hardest job. I don't like. I don't like

210
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: when I go and I and you know, if the

211
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: audience is sometimes audience is wat it just is. In

212
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: this case. Last night, I'm watching and I'm laughing because

213
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: you come right off the back about everything's alive. They've

214
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: been lying to us. So I was, as is everyone

215
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: having this conversation. I think you probably were more aware

216
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: than most of us to to talk about it. But

217
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: within the last two years, you cannot deny that we

218
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: don't trust anything. Misinformation is at an all time high.

219
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: And if you are slightly aware of what is happening

220
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: in this country, you know they're lying. You can't believe it.

221
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: So you start off with this, and in my mind,

222
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm like this genius. You wrote that a year ago,

223
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: But that is exactly how we feel. And we have

224
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: seen this country. We've seen these politicians whoever leaders are.

225
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: Everybody's a liar. Everybody's lying. They tell you when you

226
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: did them, the shortest ever accepted that they could lie.

227
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: We thought you had certain jobs meant you had to

228
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: tell the truth. We thought that there were certain ups

229
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: that meant you were a truth teller. We now see

230
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: that there are no jobs like that, and the judge,

231
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: being a politician, being a police officer. There is no

232
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: thing you can be that guarantees your righteousness and you're

233
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: willing to do for others above yourself. And so we're

234
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: all people in this and we we have to have

235
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: these conversations and um, yeah, I that that's the part. Yeah,

236
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: it's the hardest job in the world. I could agree

237
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: with you, but every reality, it is not. Really, it's

238
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: the most blessed job possible. Well, it's being an analyst

239
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: or sports commentator is a dream job for the world.

240
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: This is even better than that. At that you're being

241
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: forced to criticize, because that's part of the process, is

242
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: being critical. This is your ability. You don't have to

243
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: do any of that. You can do it exactly how

244
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: it's best for you and the audience that is being

245
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: uplifted by you. So yeah, it's a it's hard, but

246
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: it is so rewarding and it's such a wonderful relationship

247
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: to be in between comedian and the audience that is

248
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: involved with that. Oh my goodness, Like understand I've literally

249
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: been in this conversation with this group since nine. Every

250
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: time I just come out with, Hey, this is how

251
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: I feel, and this is what's going on, and this

252
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: is how I see. And to have a relationship where

253
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: there's been great communication for twenty years, who could say that, well, you,

254
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: it's impossible. It's impossible to have a great relationship for

255
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: twenty years. That's impossible. People change and don't like you.

256
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, it's impossible, so that you're doing something

257
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: that's rare, right, And I'm saying So however, it goes

258
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: like I can't cry about a misshot because I didn't

259
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: allow myself to get as excited as I would have

260
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: been about the maid shot. Like this is not about

261
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: highs or loads. This is the search for balance at

262
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: all times. So even as an artist, you have to

263
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: understand that our job is just to put out the work,

264
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: correct the content you. It's interesting because I believe comedians

265
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: are the great observers of the world, like you observe

266
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: the world and whatever your lenses. And and I read

267
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: in our research that you have met Prince at a

268
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: young age and you thought he was a higher thinker,

269
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: and that changed the way you you moved. Tell me

270
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: about that when you met him, and what was it

271
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: that had that whatever it is, if it was a

272
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: genese qual, whatever you understood, how he connected with you,

273
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: How did that change for you? How did that change you?

274
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: I've really just had a really blessed existence, like I've

275
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: been blessed to know life UM changing people, Um John

276
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: with his spoon and Heavy D and Charlie Murphy, and

277
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: there's this a cavalcade of people that I've been blessed

278
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: to be able to know and new at an early age.

279
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: Prince was the first famous person that I met um

280
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. And I didn't understand. I didn't know

281
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: him or his music or any of that. But Um,

282
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: he taught me the um link between what you do

283
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: as art and the preservation of your actual self. So

284
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: the fact that he was able to do complete work

285
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: for others while still working on his own complete works,

286
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: the fact that he was doing more today and the

287
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: time Vanity Babylonia and he is all that. The fact

288
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: that regardless of whether you liked how he looked in

289
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: his hair or dress or post or presentation, you had

290
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: to agree that you had not seen it before and

291
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: you had never seen it done the way he was

292
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: doing it, and he held himself to the type of

293
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: standard that you pay people for, you pay people to

294
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: hold due to a standard where you can be a

295
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: professional and always shapes and forms. I watched the guy

296
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: go for ten years party and I watched him ten

297
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: years not drinking or doing nothing, no caffeine. I watched

298
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: them be a Jehovah's witness. I watched, I watched all

299
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: of the different things. Um, he shared all of that

300
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: with me, and he was just a brilliant thinker and

301
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: a person who really understood, um the value of women

302
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: on the planet and the value of the feminine. And

303
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: he um understood that if your mother is a woman

304
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: and your father is a man, your mixed. Okay, I

305
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: gotta go back. Do you call him a brilliant thinker?

306
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: What makes him? Subjectionly because it's your opinion, but people

307
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: definitely agree with you. What makes him a brilliant thinker?

308
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: How does he see the world differently from anyone else?

309
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: How does he value women? As you mentioned more so? Okay,

310
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: that's separate, that's separate, But but the first part of

311
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: it is Um all of his moves were planned out

312
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: ten years in advance at all times that knew him

313
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: from when he was when I was twelve to UM

314
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: when he ascended. So that's was our discussion. Our friendship

315
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: was based upon the fact that there were three or

316
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: four things that he really valued my opinion on, and

317
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: there were ten things that I valued his opinion on everything,

318
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: but there were certain things that he trusted my opinion

319
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: on UM, And so that was always a connection between

320
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: ours is Prince never believed UM that anybody owned information

321
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: or knowledge, and so if he needed to know something,

322
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: he just wanted to know whoever was the smartest person

323
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: about that. He always just wanted to me who was

324
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: the best. If he was looking for a girlfriend, he

325
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: didn't care who she was. He cared if he thought

326
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: she was the most beautiful woman on the planet. And

327
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: that's who he wanted, and he was able to let

328
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: that fluctuate. He he appreciated and valued the arts. You

329
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: can't play twenty six instruments and not be above the

330
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: rest of us and thinking process. Whoa okay, so true artist,

331
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: And you're right about what he saw. His stories are legendary,

332
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: and I think whenever I meet someone who knew him

333
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: in an intimate way, I'm always fascinated I have. I

334
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: am fascinated by the group of people in which he

335
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: decided to commune with. He gave an audience to and

336
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: he enjoyed. I am not surprised that you are. You

337
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: guys were close friends. It makes sense on how he moved,

338
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: and he moved so stealth like. It wasn't loud. It

339
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: was really quiet. It was the opposite of someone as

340
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: famous as he is. Yeah, and in every single thing.

341
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: When you found out about it, he was already done

342
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: and he and I will work on things for four

343
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: years and then they just wouldn't happen, but we would

344
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: know why they didn't happen. I'm the one that meant

345
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: that had him start selling his albums himself, because as

346
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: a comedian, I put out an album and got the

347
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: distribution and pay for that and had the bar codes

348
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: on all of my music, and I gave a copy

349
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: to everybody who bought my tickets for the tour, and

350
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: so I sold two million copies of the record and

351
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: was on Billboard. And when he found out, he was like,

352
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: how is that even possible? You don't even have a

353
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: record deal. And I showed him how it happened. And

354
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: that's why he refused to ever sell that music through

355
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: anybody other than himself after that. Is that what he

356
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: changed his name to symbol is that you are you

357
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: telling me? You know this is this is when he's

358
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: doing crystal Ball and now he's only selling things through

359
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: MPG and he's not letting his music be sold by

360
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: a record label or a company or entity. So you're

361
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: very instrumental and how he's moving his music in society.

362
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: He asked you how you did it, and he followed

363
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: the plan. I am instrumental in all the relationships that

364
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm in. Hey, all the relationships that in those people

365
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: are instrumental in myself. I told Steph Curry to shoot

366
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: from out there because he had had the ability because

367
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: I was haying him five thousand dollars for celebrity basketball games.

368
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: And I'm telling him, do you understand that they don't

369
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: even set the defense until you get to the three

370
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: point line. So if you will agree to shoot before

371
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: you get there, they don't even have a defense to

372
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: set up a game, will just be the greatest shoe

373
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: that had ever lived. I told Tyron lu to go

374
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: into teaching. I have. I'm blessed to have had relationships

375
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: where I'm able to be valuable and I'm useful because

376
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: of a certain skill set. Like we all trust the

377
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: doctor because he went to school eight years more than us.

378
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: But if he's in the kitchen, he needs to shut up.

379
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: In the kitchen, he's not a chef. On the plane,

380
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: he has to shut up. He's not the pilot. The

381
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: adopter is only good in the hospital scenario. Um. So

382
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, we're all just good at what we study.

383
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: And I just have studied people for forty years. So

384
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: you having said that, I'm thinking about the special especially

385
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: from last night, and there are things that I'm like,

386
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 1: I have to ask him about this because either went

387
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: over my head or I didn't. I didn't know where

388
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: you were going with it. So it's like a fax

389
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: machine twice Like a fax machine, um, because when you

390
00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: sunk her, she makes a copy of you. Continue. A

391
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: fax machine is taking an original image and then making

392
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: copies of this image. Preserving this image is copy and

393
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,239
Speaker 1: if I make ten of them, at some point they

394
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: won't look as close to this. But this process is

395
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: a mechanical process, and this this is a process that

396
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: is existing and everything is predicated on this, Like there.

397
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: We live in a society where we get a chance

398
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: to decide whether women get rights or decide how much

399
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: a woman should decide about her. But everybody on this

400
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: planet came from a woman. It's the one discussion we

401
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: cannot be in, like if the aliens. If the aliens

402
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: come to this planet and they say who created everybody

403
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: on this planet? Until they meet God, the answer or

404
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: is the woman, which is why in everybody's religious books,

405
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: the woman is the end all, be all of all things,

406
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: even if it's Adam and Eve, or if it says

407
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: God and the Devil got in the fight and Satan

408
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: got thrown down here. Okay, so Satan and the demons

409
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: came down to the earth, and they could have had

410
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: anything on the earth, but all they wanted was pussy,

411
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: and nobody's books says they wanted anything other than that.

412
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: There was never any stories of diamonds or gold or

413
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: oil or anything being valuable or to anybody's supernatural except women.

414
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: They saw women made bodies and then had sex with them,

415
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: and that's all. It's sets. You have to understand the

416
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: importance of that as a commodity in your world. It's

417
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: bigger than the act of the enjoyable sex. It's the

418
00:26:53,280 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: fact that you come from there. So a society as

419
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: having a struggle figuring out who's on top and who's

420
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: on the bottom, and who should have the most rights

421
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: and who shouldn't it that that's a bad recipe, So

422
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: that joke is about the importance of the vagina, like

423
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: we would all we would have to have. Everybody who

424
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: has a business that sells eggs or omelets is having

425
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: to deal with the fact that the cost of eggs

426
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: is now extraordinary and it used to not be and

427
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: you were paying you were paying forty dollars for a case,

428
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: and now you're paying a hundred and twenty dollars for

429
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,479
Speaker 1: a case. But you can't raise the price on an

430
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: omelet because you're already at the maximum price for two

431
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: scrambled eggs, and you lose your customers ass on. You

432
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. What I'm saying is never, never,

433
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: can the most valuable thing be taken for the practice.

434
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: That's what that joke is. The facts, mission and amen,

435
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: it is. It is the most valuable thing. I don't

436
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: think women even understand that. Sometimes you it for you

437
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: to say that and for me to be a woman

438
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: to ask you to explain that talks about sometimes how

439
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: they don't understand the value in that, but once they do,

440
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: it turns it into a whole another game, like once

441
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: you understand its value, it changes everything. But but they've

442
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: always known the value. That's why they made sure that

443
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: every woman represented in the Bible is either a whore

444
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: or a reformed whore. Tell me about that. Why do

445
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: you think that was in the Bible? Because in a

446
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: male driven society, there's no way that we can let

447
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: women be uplifted or that's the end of that discussion. Correct, Correct,

448
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: And they have to make sure they try to try

449
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: to anyway keep us down. It is necessary that it

450
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: would be done. We don't have to get into how

451
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: many religions don't let women talk. Well, we're in a

452
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: society right now. You mentioned it very casually. But roe

453
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: versus Wade, everything is on the table if they were,

454
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: if they are overturning roe versus ways that things that

455
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: aren't allowed to be on the table, they're not even

456
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: allowed to be on the table. Correct. There isn't a

457
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: person qualified to take a woman's right on this planet. Correct,

458
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: There isn't There isn't a woman There isn't a person

459
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: that's qualified to call it into questions only because no

460
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: one has ever questioned a man's right, because who would

461
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: do it? And and if they did, it would even

462
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: be if a man could give birth, this would even

463
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: be a question. We wouldn't even be having this conversation.

464
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: How is it mania tell me about something he's never

465
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: done before ever and what it should be and what

466
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be. It's crazy. It's crazy. As men are

467
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: in charge of contraception. That will be the end of

468
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: civilization because there's not gonna be anymore back. That's the

469
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: end of that. So when I'm time, what I'm trying

470
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: to do is not be funny in these specials. I'm

471
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: trying to have a conversation that's not being had, And

472
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry that these conversations are being had by

473
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: a comedian. I wish too, that it was a religious

474
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: leader of some kind having this conversation or somebody's politician

475
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: talking about this stuff. Um, I'm talking about legalizing we

476
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: ten years before it happens and going to jail for

477
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: it in every city and state while having my doctor's prescription,

478
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: and nobody cares that I'm going to jail. They just

479
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: assume I must have be doing something to get me there,

480
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: and they don't even care about get out because they

481
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: just assumed, I guess you must have paid them off.

482
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: Like it's crazy what we allowed in a society that

483
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: we say is free. Um, even if we believe that

484
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: Roe Versus Way was a problem. We vote on everything

485
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: in this country. We we we vote on the p

486
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: t A, we vote at a city council level. When

487
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: when did anybody vote on this stupid, unpopular thing. No,

488
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: they don't. It's not even left it's it's it's just

489
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: because they need to do things that have never been

490
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: done before. In order to do that, you need to

491
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: do some stuff that's never been done before. Oftentimes we

492
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: look for our comedians I do anyway, to give us

493
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: a perspective about society that we don't, that we have

494
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: taken for granted. And I know, while there may be

495
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: humor injected in it, it's always a sobering story of

496
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: where we are. Like comedians, for me, really good ones,

497
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: really are able to take what's going on in society

498
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: and say this is what it is, make it palpable,

499
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: make it digestible. And so you do exactly what the

500
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: boards commentator does. That's what this endless does. They're they're

501
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 1: they're not. We at home are already given our opinion

502
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: about the game as it's happening in real time. What

503
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: we're missing is the facts and the eloquence, the artic

504
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: in lay, and the information and analysis to be able

505
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: to do it, or we would all be doing it

506
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: at the house where at the house going wait a minute,

507
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: that ain't been done since uh the analysts walks us

508
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: through the rest You that's how you are able to

509
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: be one of two black women in your lane in

510
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: the course of fifty years people and kept it by

511
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: people that pay Like it's the same thing, Like we

512
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: are being trusted because of something and it's our job

513
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: to maintain that as much as we can. We can't.

514
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: We can't, we can't. I didn't want to break away

515
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: because it's juicy. It's juicy, right. We have more with

516
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: Catt Williams after the bring Every champion and carry champion

517
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,320

519
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,600

Speaker 1: Williams still talking to us. We've got We've got This

523
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,239
Speaker 1: is juicy podcast. So if you've worked out, you've been

524
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: driving for a few minutes. It's longer than usual. We

525
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: didn't break it up into two segments, but it's enough

526
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: for y'all to listen to over three days and recommended

527
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: to your friends because Cat keeps it a buck. You

528
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: do not want to miss this here he is. I

529
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: feel like when you you talk, you they're just they're

530
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: handful that have that Oh I'm paying attention. What did

531
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: he say? That is a beautiful thing? What it? I

532
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: don't know if you view it the way I do.

533
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't have any pressure being a black woman in sports.

534
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: I feel like when I first started, it was me

535
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: just finding my way and trying to make sure that

536
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: I could get respect in a place where there was

537
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: no respectability for women, especially a black woman. Um. And

538
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: then if you do the work, it eventually pays off.

539
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: If you do the work, it pays off. You know,

540
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: my rookie season, I do all the work. It pays off.

541
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: If that was true, no NBA player would play another

542
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: game into the w NBA players get a real salary

543
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't do but they won't do that. Man, Okay,

544
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: so so so so are you saying that? Tell me

545
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: why you say if that were true? Because clearly isn't that.

546
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: It's not it's not true, but there are there are

547
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: these ideas, right that woman I am talking about from experience,

548
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: they don't know. I'm not going to get into that

549
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: because it's clearly not true. You're right, it's stupid. But

550
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: when you say something right and you make a and

551
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: you really bring something that's very sad but very true.

552
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: For instance, last night, you talk about well we can

553
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: have Bernie's and and every moment you talk about bit

554
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 1: and you're like, he might said, and he's not gonna

555
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: answer the questions. He never answers it. Right. I look

556
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: at that and it makes me laugh because it's like,

557
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: this is so true. Yes, I know listening to this

558
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: man president, but I don't know what he's talking about.

559
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: He forgets thoughts, he's saying the wrong thing. Everyone says,

560
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: and his camp says he's lucid and aware. He is not.

561
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: What are our options when we're sitting there watching this

562
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: man talk, we don't have our options. I'm I, I

563
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: look at the way you described our country last night,

564
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: and I'm like, we're correct, like like we're we got

565
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: a nine year old man and and I don't see

566
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: anybody who could beat Trump. And so you make this joke,

567
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering if it's really resonating with the people

568
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: that I think it should resonate with. Your audience should

569
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: be up in arms about this, even though we're laughing

570
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: and joking about it. We should not be distracted, right,

571
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: But they are professionals that have propaganda on both sides,

572
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: and so that's how it's done. So the reason the

573
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: joke is set up that way is because, Um, if

574
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: I say something mentory about Joe Biden that makes me

575
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: on the left, and if I say something against Joe

576
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: Biden that would make me on the right, My job

577
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: is neither. My job as a public officialist to be

578
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: in the middle. What I'm saying is as ridiculous as

579
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: what we just experienced. Is this not equally equally read home?

580
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: Thing about right? See the thing about Weekend that Bernie's

581
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 1: is not the fact. If the movie is an old reference.

582
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: But if you know the reference, you understand that the

583
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: man who is Bernie is deceased. You're looking at his

584
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: movements as if this is a real creature. This is not.

585
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: He is propped up and supported by this agenda, and

586
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: this agenda is who you see answering the questions, making

587
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: the moves and the decisions. That this is a puppetary

588
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: figure year and so I, as a comedian, have to

589
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: go the opposite way. Now, yes, I hope that you

590
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: give it on either side that it is this system

591
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: we don't we have a system. We would never let

592
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: um a retired basketball player, UM win MVP for the league.

593
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: You didn't have right, No, no, no, right, you're you're

594
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: not old, You're not right. So the fact that this

595
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: is the only place that we decide that we're gonna

596
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: hire the elderly, it's not um the way that anyone

597
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: does business anywhere in the country. If you can show

598
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: me the seven year old CEO of a fortune five company,

599
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: then I'll have a conversation. The United States is the

600
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: top of that. So it doesn't do us anymore service

601
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: to have someone who is negligent than it did for

602
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: us to have an erratic maniac in there. Say that again,

603
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: there's still no accountability. Say that again. My job is

604
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: I'm trying to take a terrible, unpleasant, un unlikable position

605
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: and say it. I hope it's funny, but if it

606
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: gets discussed and it's not funny, I'll win. If it's

607
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: funny and don't get discussed, I win. But what I

608
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: really want is this conversation is supposed to be happening

609
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: about all of this. So that's that's what I the

610
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: experience I've tried to make my stand up into. But

611
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: it requires me not to be on a side. Essentially.

612
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: That's hard to do because I feel like all of

613
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: us are subjective and we all have our own unconscious

614
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: bias and our regular bold ass bias. So to be

615
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: able to talk about either side it is, that's tough

616
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: to do. And try to be neutral, right, because that's

617
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to do. I'm not. I've given that.

618
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: I know. No, you are neutral. Um, I love my Lakers.

619
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 1: You're biased, oh, ma'am. You're biased to champions, Yes, exactly,

620
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: you only care about those that win. Are again the

621
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: pursuit of winning. Um that there is that bias, but

622
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: that doesn't affect how you do business, and we don't

623
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: pick up bias from you. Um we we we have

624
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: the expectation for everybody on the news that they're being unbiased,

625
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: but we can tell that they're not. We understand they're

626
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: just reading the teleprompter. Correct if you think it. Never

627
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: in our lives have we seen somebody get charged with

628
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: a crime and then see that crime get lessons for them.

629
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: We watched a guy with a gun and a knife

630
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: tackle Dave Chappelle live while assaulting them. That's already a

631
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: felony in California, aff the fake gun, of felony for

632
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: the knife, then a felony for the assault. We watched

633
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: three felonies get turned into a misdemeanor. Because we're trying

634
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: to make it where it's okay for people to respond

635
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: if they don't like something. And that's how the Will

636
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: Smith Chris rob things happens. That's how I get a

637
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: gun put on me for telling a joke, and that

638
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: guy doesn't go to jail, and nothing happens, and there's

639
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: no hub of things. Things are changing at all times,

640
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: and so we have to understand that and make our

641
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: moves accordingly. I must ask you, because we are talking

642
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 1: about it. I remember after the Will Smith slap incident

643
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: and Chris Rocking. After Will Smith slapped Chris rock Uh,

644
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: comedians were like, it's crazy. Y' don't understand how tough

645
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: it is for us out here. This is ridiculous. This

646
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: happens all the time. I remember not feeling like I

647
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,959
Speaker 1: was aware of comedians lives being threatened or in danger.

648
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: So you just say you had a gun put to

649
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: your head. We watch what happens with um Dave Chapelle.

650
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: The guy rushes the stage, got his ass beat rightfully,

651
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: So in your ass beat has never given you leniency

652
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: with the law. If I robbed the bank and while

653
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: in the process of me robbing in the bank, I

654
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: dropped the gun and everybody in the bank whoops, my

655
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: ass is that less in my charge? You know you're

656
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: going to jail. You did what It don't matter, Yeah,

657
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Those things happened. Those things happened when

658
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: somebody benefits from those things happen, and then that's the

659
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: only time you see those things happen. And they can

660
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: tell you whatever story they want to. They tell you

661
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: a story where well, the police asked, did anybody or

662
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: want them to be arrested and they didn't know, and

663
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: then the police asked the victim and you said so,

664
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: then the police just didn't arrest him. Is that how

665
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: the police work? Have we ever heard of anything like

666
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: that lifetime? Of course not so Will Smith, Chris Rock,

667
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: you watch that? What do you think? How do you

668
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: digest it? I am in the production business. I understand

669
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: what is worth doing for ratings. I understand what is

670
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: worth doing when the industry is canceling one black guy.

671
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: I know what happens when they are going to elevate another,

672
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: and I know what happens when they don't care about

673
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: either of you. This is how quarterback and go. So

674
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: the question is, hey, your quarterback just get sacked. Did

675
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: we know we was spend to stack your quarterback? We

676
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: absolutely did. It was a play, buddy. We've been rehearsing it,

677
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: working it out. Mega sure that at some point, when

678
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: you get to this level, we can make sure we

679
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: knock you from a twenty million dollar man to putting

680
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: in the news that people won't hire you know more,

681
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: and your career is done. Yeah, so you all that

682
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: you said? It is what I'm saying that everything that

683
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: happens in a business that's based off of pretends that

684
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: seems like a setup. Is Everything that happens in the business,

685
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: everything that happens in the business that seems that's based

686
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: off of pretend that seems like a setup is. Yeah.

687
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is if just Smoley and Lee Daniels

688
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: for a living make stories that are not real, and

689
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 1: they make them so good that people believe them and

690
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: buy them, and that that's what business they're in. Why

691
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: would you think it would be weird if they flipped

692
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: out and set a story that turned out to not

693
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: be true. Why why would we think that? If they

694
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: are capable, that's what they do for a living. They

695
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: do that three episodes is take something fictitious and make

696
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: it seem real. That's the business. Why would you I

697
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: don't understand that. But I don't think Will was presenting

698
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: very many mistakes. I don't think what was pretending. I

699
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: thought he was having a nervous breakdown in front of us. Well,

700
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing for a Will to be having a

701
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: nervous breakdown for it to affect him like that. This

702
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: is collaborative. So for when Will Smith speaks, Will Smith

703
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: is not the giant that he is solely on the

704
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: merits of Will Smith or his family. Um, there are

705
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: three hundred corporations that are a part of the Will

706
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: Smith business operation. That is the twenty million dollar a

707
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: movie mega thing that Will Smith represents. And if you

708
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: are the people that are in business with him, where

709
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: you decide that you're gonna do something, you can do

710
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: it too. These circumstances are not um. We we see

711
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: him as all. This is why he said something about

712
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: his wife and he got mad and jeopardized his career,

713
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: and then the other guy had to decide what he

714
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: was gonna do with his career, and then he you know,

715
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: we have to understand that these are two giants in

716
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: our field. If you're a black person, this is two

717
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: guys too big and too good to be involved in

718
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: what they're in. That would make sense if it's me

719
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: and Michael Blackson slapping each other, not now, not Will

720
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: Smith and Chris rock These are when two large boulders

721
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: come together and you can't see Chris Rockland and at

722
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: all he's humiliated. If you were gonna slap a comedian,

723
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: he was the number one to slap head of the coons,

724
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 1: so slappable. And if you're gonna slap him. You just

725
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: need the greatest guy, the bestest guy, the one who's

726
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: shown us him being on his best behavior since the nineties.

727
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: That guy is the one that would have to slap

728
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: them in order for the type of ratings we need

729
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: an attention to be on this. See what I'm saying

730
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 1: is in business, nothing is coincidental, or you would be

731
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: hearing who's losing money and all of these situations, it's

732
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 1: only the artist that's losing. Somebody makes a big money

733
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: when these rappers get killed. Not incidental. Somebody made a

734
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars and now don't have to talk to

735
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: that artist or none of their crew, don't have to

736
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: validate none of their contracts. Now only got to deal

737
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: with the mama, only got to see her once a year,

738
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: and it's over. And the money he goes up and

739
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: up and up. So they killed this twenty million dollar guy,

740
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: but they reached sixty million in benefits and they have

741
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:54,720
Speaker 1: some people from your city do it. Wow, I'm saying

742
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: there there's the good side and the bad side of

743
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: of of these businesses. And buts ab what you just

744
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: just think about what you just said. That's extremely thoughtful

745
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: and powerful. It could only be what it was if

746
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: it were those two, those two Will Smith and Chris Rock.

747
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: It could only be what it has been with those

748
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: particular those two black men, if you put any other

749
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: names together. Um, the police are out on stage, they've

750
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: cut to commercial. You didn't see what happened. By the

751
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: time they come out, people have been removed. It goes

752
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 1: on it. It's certain ways things are handled when it's

753
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: not intentional. When things go smoothly but they seem chaotic,

754
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: that means there was forethought in a plane somebody even

755
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: if it looks like, yeah, Jennet Jackson just had a

756
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 1: wardrobe malfunction, Yeah, there's no such thing, correct. I believe.

757
00:47:54,360 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 1: I believe that somebody benefited. So in all of the situations,

758
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: there's a business involved and there's real money involved, as

759
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: somebody's benefiting from this thing that looks like, oh that

760
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: just happens. Nah, no way, no way. It would be

761
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: hard for a homeless guy to get into the Hollywood Bowl,

762
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: let alone a homeless guy be able to rush the stage.

763
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: And actually, so you're saying same for Dave Chappelle and

764
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: this random homeless person. I thought the same thing I'm like,

765
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: how do you rush the stage? I've been to Hollywood Ball,

766
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: how do you rush the stage? Yeah, this is the

767
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: business where in the business where make believe happens, where

768
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 1: the job is to have something that costs nine cents

769
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: for us to make and we sell it for four

770
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 1: ninety nine to you for a good deal. And it's

771
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: okay that it costs us nine cents. But in the

772
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: in the in this business, the star is the commodity.

773
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 1: These are real people, real lives. When things you see,

774
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: things happen and you don't have all of the information.

775
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: The true tragedy is what Jada Pinkett Smith is having

776
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: to go through in that scenario. Considering if at most

777
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: you can say maybe she disappointed Will, other than that

778
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: she is upheld black women actresses. We've never been embarrassed

779
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,720
Speaker 1: of Jada Pinkett Smith. She always worked hard for every

780
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: role and worked hard and is she always was willing

781
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: to give us every She's being successful through. She didn't

782
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: get made by Will Smith. Regardless of what you think

783
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: about her relationship, that's not your relationship. I love for

784
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: you talking about Jada, how people have tried to vilify her.

785
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: That's especially after her quote unquote entanglement. I think it's

786
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: so disrespectful. I think she has been nothing but class personified.

787
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying, Like she could as

788
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: a block, she's been more than that, more than that.

789
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: And I don't like how she's getting such a bad

790
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: rap because I was like, this is That's not what

791
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: this is when you go on No, there is a

792
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: business where they fiddle with the perception of the people.

793
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: And that's part of the job. Back in the day

794
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: used to be called propaganda. Now it's just called business.

795
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: They don't say we gotta smear the candidate. They smear him.

796
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: He ever made jewics who was qualified to break you?

797
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: That's the end of it. When they bought you and

798
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: put you on that Fox show, it was because you

799
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: were going to do this and only this. You'll never

800
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: do that. As soon as you breache that, they've done

801
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: with you too. So they have decided that they were

802
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 1: finished with will when he did After Earth with Jaden,

803
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: because there was no way they was gonna let Jade,

804
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,399
Speaker 1: knowing because Jade didn't have to do what you had

805
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: to do to get the We're not gonna let you,

806
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: but Jade man Willow and from there. They've done what

807
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: was necessary to take him from a twenty million dollar

808
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: A movie to put him in a position where maybe

809
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: it can appear he has a nervous breakdown and now

810
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 1: is unemployable. And it's not racist. They did it with

811
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: the white actors as well. They cut down Angelina Jolie

812
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 1: and Brad Pitt and all of them from twenty million

813
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: dollar A movie. People too, left them out there to

814
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: drive and restructure everything. This This is business at its

815
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: highest level, people's life, and you can't understand that. So

816
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: if someone's listening to you and doesn't have an understanding

817
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: of a little small understanding of how this world works

818
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: and how they build you to destroy you, they can't

819
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: really get what you're saying. But it's real as hell.

820
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: And I want to go back to what you said

821
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: earlier about women and how important they are, and then

822
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 1: you and then you and I appreciate you talking about

823
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: how dope Jada is. I feel like, and it's even

824
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: feel it's true. Women don't get the credit that they deserve,

825
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: especially Black women in a society. We we sit here

826
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: and we're fighting on the front lines for a lot

827
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: of things, and we're told all the things were not,

828
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: and you said she's more than class, right, But there

829
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: has to be responsibility taken as well. Though, yes we're yes,

830
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: we're responsible. No no, no, that's not what I mean.

831
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 1: What I mean whatever women feel like they don't get

832
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: credit for who were they supposed to get it from?

833
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: What do you mean you birth? You birthed us as

834
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: a baby. We don't get to be in charge of y'all. Hm.

835
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: So the expectation that we should be understanding what you

836
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: are no no, no, no child is misconfused, of misinformed

837
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: or u no, no child is wondering what the relationship

838
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:16,479
Speaker 1: is between me, child and mama. See what I'm saying.

839
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: Every child instantly knows what that relationship is and what

840
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: it means. But something happens between the time that you've

841
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: given birth and you become an adult and you're indoctrinated

842
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: by society and you feel like it's okay to to

843
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: to repeal Roe versus Wade, right, Something happens in between

844
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: and the society in which we live in that says

845
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: that we don't matter. We're given because it's a it's

846
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: a it's a patriarchy right, even although we are the

847
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: giver of life it's still a patriarchy. It's still male dominant. Yes,

848
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: just because um, we're not equal. We're not equal, we're superior.

849
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: We keep trying to put the sexes on equal footing,

850
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: and the sexes and ever be on equal footing unless

851
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: a man produces life out of his penis. Other than that,

852
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: it's never gonna be equal footing. Now in business, um,

853
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: men were thought to be um better in business and

854
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: haly business as societal things because of how great the

855
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: woman was and how vast her responsibility was before she

856
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: ever left her home. So the woman had already done

857
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: eight jobs already at this place we lived. Um, this

858
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: wasn't the great mother. This was all mothers. They had

859
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: got up, got the kids together, dear food, taking care

860
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,439
Speaker 1: of about it. Ain't no money she're handling this, doing

861
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: that she got that's the house. It's to the point

862
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: where it would be like, why would I want a

863
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: woman to work? She do so much like women shouldn't

864
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: even be able to do nothing else that they should

865
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: just do this thing they do and make life enjoyable.

866
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: And we the guys go out and do whatever the tough, ugly, dirty,

867
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: nasty sax stuff is that makes money. So that we

868
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: can bring that home and enjoy bliss at this house

869
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: with this woman. That's what everything was set up for.

870
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: In the patriarchal system. It was respect first. It was

871
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: we respected what the woman brought to the table so

872
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: much that she shouldn't even be doing. Even in the

873
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: religions where they cover a woman and they'd be like,

874
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: that's so disrespectful to women, it's really not. It's really

875
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:50,240
Speaker 1: because it's really refusing to let you be objectified. Nobody

876
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 1: can say she's fine. It's held because they don't know,

877
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: and because their religious books said that the devil came

878
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: down and found you attractive and you fail for that,

879
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: and and Adam and Eve you ass that's what the

880
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: snake and well that women can't be trusted with the heart. Yeah,

881
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying these are uncomfortable conversations. Say stuff like comedian.

882
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 1: No comedian would pick these type of conversations to talk

883
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: about in the first place. I could talk about having

884
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: about movement and be funny for thirty minutes. Guaranteed I

885
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: could just talk about, Hey, I went to the drive too,

886
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: and this took like I could tell those type of

887
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: stories with my time and be guaranteed to be funnier

888
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: than all of the peers I have. But I'm trying

889
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: to have I'm trying to curate the most impossible conversation

890
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: to have comedically, and I try to have it. So

891
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: when it works well, it does. Um. When it doesn't,

892
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't. But we're all in this together. We all

893
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: have shared experiences. They're only top eight type of people

894
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: on the planet and everybody else is an alien. We

895
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 1: live in a society where people don't believe in aliens,

896
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: but they do believe in the angels, and they do

897
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: believe in God, and you do believe that loved one

898
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: is going to heaven and they do, but they don't. Yeah,

899
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: so it's at a time where the truth is still

900
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: king and UM. Sometimes you have to shame the populace

901
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: into having in these conversations. If it takes me for

902
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: me saying something stupid like a woman's vagina is a

903
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: fact machine for a conversation to UM. You talk about

904
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: uncomfortable conversations, you always have them. It takes a lot

905
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: of courage to do that, and not even courage. Sometimes

906
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: it's just in you and you don't even know that

907
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I I ask you what

908
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: do you need? And I'll wrap with this because or

909
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: what or where do you find your piece you have?

910
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: I can only imagine that your mind is going and

911
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: you're aware, and you observe, and you see and you think,

912
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: and you'r ten steps ahead, if not thirty steps ahead,

913
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: and you're having these conversations with sometimes could appear in

914
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: mere mortals who don't get it. Where do you find

915
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: your piece? How do you turn off? If at all possible?

916
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: I found in my whole life all I wanted to

917
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: do is be an explorer. I wanted to find out things.

918
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: I found out that information and knowledge is free, and

919
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: that you cannot know something one second and the very

920
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: second that you know something that's an extra thing that

921
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, and it's a commodity of gathering information. So

922
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: I found out that a lot of times when we

923
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: can't get something to work because we're misunderstanding the directions.

924
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: We understand the directions, but we're misunderstanding them. So if

925
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: you follow religion, it says, um, the Lord is my shepherd,

926
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: I shall not want and then it goes on to

927
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: tell you other things. But I found out that that

928
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: first part is the actual instruction. The Lord is my shepherd,

929
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: I shall not want and that's the end. And so

930
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: my piece is the fact that I don't want anything

931
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:29,439
Speaker 1: ever from anywhere, any body, anything, any situation. I don't

932
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: have any expectations of you them nobody are you a human.

933
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't have an expectation of you. I know how

934
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: this goes. You could do whatever you want to do.

935
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: I I have no wants, I have no needs. Who

936
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm connected to gives me every single thing I have

937
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: ever wanted. If I didn't get it, I found out

938
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't supposed to have it. So now I don't

939
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: even want what I do want. I just know if

940
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: I look at something too long, I'm gonna have it.

941
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: So when you have no once and no needs, you

942
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: can't be put in a desperate situation. You can't be pressed,

943
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: you can't be under pressure. You can only have peace

944
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: and um if someone is listening and you want to

945
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: find peace, if you can find a body of water,

946
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: however long you can hold your breath under, there is peace.

947
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: So if you can only do ten seconds, and you

948
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: can give yourself ten seconds of peace underwater, you will

949
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: find that everything you need is within access of you.

950
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: You do not need anyone to complete you in anything

951
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: or any journey, you are complete. The journey of this

952
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,439
Speaker 1: life is finding out that you were complete the whole time.

953
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 1: Finding out that what you thought wasn't value but was valuable.

954
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: To find out the people that were being oppressed where

955
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: our most surprised jewel of all people. To find find

956
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: out that all these people were held down and is

957
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: they run every thing? The world is great because of them. Um,

958
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: you open yourself up to that. It's it's important that

959
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: you understand that whatever it is you're missing in your

960
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: life right now, as long as it's not money, because

961
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:15,479
Speaker 1: remember money isn't real. It's just something that represents something.

962
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: So when it was coli shells, it was, when it

963
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: was paper, it was when it was coins, it was

964
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: when it was rocks, it was. Now that it's bitcoin

965
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: and it's invisible like it does, it doesn't matter whatever

966
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: it is you think you're missing. You can access that

967
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: that it is uh able to be accessed by humans,

968
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: and you are humans and you are worthy, and it

969
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what it looks like. That is what makes

970
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: living on this planet exciting and it is that way.

971
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: So there, that's um, that's how I get my piece.

972
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: That's why it's not chaotic for me. I understand when

973
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm punching that your job is to try to punch me.

974
01:01:55,280 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Now I understand the rhythm of it. I don't celebrate

975
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: because I understand that the punch is coming. And that's

976
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I got taught that from being a parent,

977
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: because you can never be a perfect parent. You can

978
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: just do the best you can. And that's seeing that conversation. Yeah,

979
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: because you don't know, you not that you know, and

980
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: you're like, and that's all I have. I'm just figuring

981
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: it out as we go. That's all I have, right,

982
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: And and understand that all all of us are trying

983
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: to be better than our parents. We don't even know

984
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: what that means. Is different circumstances like there are no

985
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 1: rule books like yeah, so you know when we understand

986
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: that you can control every single thing that you've been controlled,

987
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: but you can't control nothing. You can't control, and that's

988
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: the beauty of it. There's nothing stopping great things from

989
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: happening to you. That's why suicide is the only thing

990
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: you cannot do. You can never take yourself out of

991
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: a game. Don't worry, they'll cart Joe Cark gets off

992
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: as soon as you expire. But we don't take ourselves

993
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: out the game because that's champions. We know the next

994
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: game is the best game. That's it. We gotta keep fighting,

995
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: we gotta keep moving. I love it and know the

996
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: punch is coming. That, by the way, was a word

997
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,439
Speaker 1: for me, because look, they you're gonna punch up, They're

998
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna punch back. Just be ready because it's coming. And

999
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: that's the nature of the game. I whether you believe

1000
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: it and Zin or Buddha or whatever, whatever it is,

1001

Speaker 1: you so much. I appreciate you. Thank you for being naked.

1028
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Just to recap, he was very clear about Chris rock

1029
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: One being a coon to Jada Pinkett Smith as a hero. Three,

1030
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: be your own boss, be willing to take chances, and

1031
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 1: when you are your own boss, and when you are

1032
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 1: winning the way in which he wins. They won't celebrate it,

1033
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: they won't talk about it out loud. They will make

1034
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: you out to be a villain because it's intimidating and

1035
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: it's scary, and you don't make people comfortable. He loves

1036
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: to embrace an uncomfortable conversation. You've listened to this podcast.

1037
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: If you're not trying to do uncomfortable, you cannot change

1038
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 1: the world. You may not agree with what he had

1039
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: to say, but I will tell you this, When you

1040
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: make people think about things differently, you're leaving an impact.

1041
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: I hope you all are doing that. Are we leaving

1042
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: an impact? This man came and he was completely naked,

1043
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: and he was so gracious and so kind to me

1044
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: and knew who I was. He's a smart man. There's

1045
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: something to be said for smart people, not that many

1046
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: of them in the world. You may not agree what

1047
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: he has to say, that's fine. Being smart is a

1048
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: rare quality these days. Do you hear me? Rare quality?

1049
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: Las I thank you all for listening. More Naked next week.
