15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: I always say this, Caroline's to me is like the

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: Studio fifty four of comedy, Like you never know who's

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: gonna show up or who you're gonna see. And I

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: remember many years ago, our general manager grabbed me as

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: I was leaving at the end of the day and

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: he said, oh, you got to go meet our new doorman.

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: Really handsome guy. He's British. Go upstairs, introduce yourself and

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: I go up and there's this guy in a black

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 3: suit and tie and he said, hey, mate, nice to

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: meet you. I said, I'm Greg, I'm the PR guy

25
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: for the club. He's oh Idriss and we started talking.

26
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: He had just moved here to him. I think he

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: was living in his car at the time, and and.

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 4: He was he was a star in Yeah, he.

29
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: Did, he did.

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 3: He was on some so I guess the British equivalent

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 3: of what our daytime dramas are here. He was a

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 3: fairly big star over there. Nobody knew who he was here.

33
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: I mean, he was just you know, I hate to

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: say it like that, but he, you know, knew to

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: America and just a doorman, not a name, knowing who

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: He was the nicest, sweetest man you could ever meet.

37
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: In your entire life.

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: To hear that, he was so wonderful, And I'm sure

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: I don't think this is a problem sharing this part

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: of the story, because he's told this story publicly. He

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: used to sell weed and he would sell it. He

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 3: would sell it to Dave Chappelle when he was had

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: on Awesome, and I'm told it was the worst weed

44
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: ever seeds. Everything I heard from a friend. I know

45
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: nothing about it, but An interesting part of the story

46
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: is I will never forget this because it resonates to

47
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: this day. And I always shared the story is I

48
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: was leaving one afternoon and we were talking and he

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: got a call and flip phone, that's how far back

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: this was. And he said, oh, I got to take this.

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: It's my agent. I'm not going to do the British accent.

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: And he goes out on the street and he looked

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: very animated and excited, and he came back in and

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 3: he said, I have to leave, and I said, what's wrong.

55
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: He said, I just got a call back for a

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: show on HBO, And that was when he got the

57
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: wire and he he left and became Idris Elba International

58
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: Superstar Bond.

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: At some point I heard.

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: What he doesn't want to do Bond. Now I think

61
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: he's past that. Yeah, I wanted him to be Bond.

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: But he came back there. He he just left you

63
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: high and DROI though, how dare he?

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: But he's come back to the club and visited, and

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: you know I ran into him once and he just

66
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,160
