93
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: gonna be virtual, It's gonna be a virtual situation. Uh

94
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: you know what am I gonna do? But I mean,

95
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: I've been devastated, devastated. So just let you know. In

96
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: the in the money marketing world, you have to you know,

97
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: program yourself for everything. You never know. This is this

98
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: is this is something to talk about. Even if you

99
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: have a diverse before Leo, that may not even work.

100
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: You have to rethink the business. So here I am.

101
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: I know, I'm a good comedian. I'm like, what damn,

102
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? I said, well, you know what,

103
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: something's gonna come out of this. In any in any situation,

104
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: there's a positive. And um, if you look at Madam C. J. Walker,

105
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: I think she made her Miriam is doing the depression.

106
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: So there was hope. So I was like, okay, where where?

107
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: What am I gonna What's gonna happen? What am I

108
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna do? So I'm thinking virtual comedy is gonna be

109
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be the thing, you know, And so I

110
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: just got myself and I just started writing. I said, well,

111
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: I think the best comedian is gonna win. So that's

112
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: all I did, you know, the only thing I can do.

113
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: And then I had to change in my business. I said,

114
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: comedy is no longer a viable business to me to

115
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: make money. So I gotta, I shoot, I don't know.

116
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: I started looking at everything. I even looked at marijuana production, right,

117
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: I said, well, how much does a cross when you

118
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 1: dudes be growing this stuff? And I called my boys

119
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: and said, well how much do you make on this thing?

120
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: You know? I called everything I can do? You know?

121
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: Was that tied to like just just three or talk?

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: You know, like when the when the pandemic hit, you know,

123
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: I would tell you some man it affected me mentally,

124
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, it affected my pocket, but affected me mentally

125
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: on how was that? Was it really safe to go

126
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: out in the streets, you know? And you know like

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: saying because I went out there with all the equipment,

128
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: because it was in marching, was still cold because I

129
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: didn't have a mask. I just put a ski mask

130
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: on and uh. And then I went to home depot.

131
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: I had my I had my rubber gloves, I had

132
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: my pierrel, I had lights al and I had all

133
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: this stuff. And I got back to the car. I

134
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't know the protocol. Do I take off

135
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: my gloves? Is my stereit WORL gonna be safe? Did

136
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: it really get into your head? Was I just want

137
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: of those people that just reacted to out of control

138
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: about it? Well, it got into my head. But I

139
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: am a you know, I look at you know, I'm

140
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: almost like a historian. But I said, this is this

141
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: is this is happening, this is gonna this is happening.

142
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: And so I accepted it, and I stayed at home.

143
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: I didn't go anywhere. I said at my age, I

144
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: said the thing I'm gonna do, I'm not going anywhere.

145
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stay at home and it mentally mentally

146
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: it affected me. It didn't affect me until later, you know,

147
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: till later on. So four or five months later, I'm like, man,

148
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: what is going on? Man? This could this could endure

149
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: for a month. You know. I put my faith into

150
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: the American government, the American way of life that we

151
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: we can fight anything. We're America. We have enough money

152
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: to fight anything. So I said, this Q will be

153
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, eradicated. So just hanging there and hanging there

154
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: because America was gonna take care of it. But now

155
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: we have devicesness, we have political side this diz. So

156
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: it's political I which is and which is? You can't

157
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: even think about It isn't frustrated. It isn't frustrating. And

158
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: that you hear that, and you know, because just that

159
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: I try to be honest on my show, are allowed

160
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: the interview to go where the interviews are gonna go.

161
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: But it is frustrating because we're in an economy that's

162
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: tied to unemployment is at a high rate, and you know,

163
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: and it affects minorities, are black and brown people at

164
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: a at a twice rate. And then you have COVID

165
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: ninteen that affects African American community at a high rate.

166
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: And then then they tell you that ninety four percent

167
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: of the people who have died from COVID ninteen had

168
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: preconditioned of pre illnesses. So it's like, okay, you know,

169
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: it puts you in a position of who to believe in,

170
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: who to trust right and where are you at on

171
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: that whole trusting thing, because it does impact how you

172
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: move forward as a comedian, as an entertainment, as a businessman. Well,

173
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't trust anybody right now. I just trust myself

174
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: and not trust. I just had a show I was doing.

175
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: I was supposed to do a show a matter of fact,

176
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: Labor Day in the land I had, you know, I

177
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: sold out shows. But then I was looking at the peak.

178
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: I was looking at this disease. I was like, man,

179
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: I ain't going I'm not going out there, and so

180
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: I canceled it, you know, And so I I haven't

181
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: worked yet. I'm gonna work at the end of September.

182
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not gonna work until November. But let

183
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: me see. So I don't My thing is this what

184
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: I would like. I would like to know what my

185
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: chances are. And that's your government should tell you that.

186
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: I just you should be able to say, okay, blah

187
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. But we

188
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: don't know, we don't, we don't know. So you have

189
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: to trust yourself. You know who you can't I mean

190
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: you can't. I don't care who you are. You can't

191
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: trust the government. They're not telling me the truth. I mean,

192
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: not telling me what I need to know. I'm not

193
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: trying to be political, but my guy, I just want

194
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: to know how to stay safe. And that's a very

195
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: simple request, but somehow they can't get answered. How does

196
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: stay safe? Which, in turn, because if you felt safe

197
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: for you have felt safer about getting on that airplane,

198
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: traveling to getting off that plane and doing five shows

199
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: in front of the audience, that exactly, and knowing I

200
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: had to call my doctor for the black doctor he's

201
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: a black doctor. Emphasize that because if we have more

202
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: black doctors, are child instant rate would probably be higher.

203
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: You know, we need more black doctors. And he told me,

204
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: he said, man, you know, he said to do that.

205
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: He said that, man, it's not good to go. So

206
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not going. But if I had some

207
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: kind of guideline that I know, you know, some kind

208
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: of We don't. We don't have a guideline. If right

209
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: now you said you're gonna travel to Louisiana, it ain't

210
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: nothing that you can look on and say should I go,

211
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: I should not go. There's no guideline. That's that's the

212
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: crazy part that scares me. It's really amazing because you know,

213
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: stand up comedy is really interesting because we kind of

214
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: see everything from a different perspective and just twisted put

215
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: I twist them and that that's how and and and

216
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, man, just from an outside looking

217
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: at you, you've always been uh, a guy that I

218
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: always looked back or I would have never thought of

219
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: that joke you You've always been one of those I

220
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: would have never thought of that joke guy. When I

221
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: look at it. That's and that's how I write, suh.

222
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: When I write, I don't write. When I write, I

223
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: write to jump down. And if it sounds like everybody

224
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: else I talked to out, I try to come from

225
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: the different. I ain't gonna you know, you know, almost

226
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: like an investing I would be the one to invest

227
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: in something that somebody said, why are you investing in that?

228
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: Why are you investing in the straps that holds a

229
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: mask together? Right? No one else is doing that because

230
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: no one else is doing right. And so so you know,

231
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: and I say that, you know because of the fact

232
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: that you know you know. But one time I felt

233
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: I was one of the top guys out there, and

234
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: I come along and I see you, and I still

235
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: see you, and I go, what is what? What? What

236
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: are you what? I are you looking at stuff through

237
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: Mark Curry when you're yeah, what are you know? Like that?

238
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: You know what? You know what I'm saying, you know

239
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know we could, we can,

240
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: You're I could walk in the room and uh. One

241
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: of the all time you probably remember one of the

242
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: all time funny moments I had with you when we

243
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: was at Denny's Restaurant and me, you George Wallace and

244
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: and we are we're closed down that place, and I

245
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: always remember how from an improvisational standpoint, you are incredible,

246
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: and I just it is locked in my memory in

247
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: Hollywood us just JF it was Jathony Brown, it was you,

248
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: it was me, and it was George Wallace and we

249
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: left that myth that dinner is at four two o'clock

250
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: in the morning, and and and it was just watching

251
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: you sit over there, going he's doing stuff I could

252
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: not do. I can't because you we're in the same Dennis.

253
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: Now we're the same We all even the same food,

254
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: but you're looking at it through a different eye, Mark Curry.

255
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: Why why why are you looking at it from a

256
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: different eye? Well, because of this when I do, when

257
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: I do a joke, I don't write the joke. A

258
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: lot of guys write the joke and that's why they

259
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: a lot of times they jokes don't be funny because

260
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: they forced the joke. But what I do is I

261
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: researched the joke, and my material is based on if

262
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: you see anything I say, it's based on facts and research.

263
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: So for example, we're talking about whatever the subject is,

264
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: black people and money, Black people and money. Okay, bam,

265
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: you will will do the joke because black people, they'll

266
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: take black people. I want to realize they've been short

267
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: change black people. Come back and how much again? When

268
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: I came in the head pointing right, and then I

269
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: got chuck for you because I hold him that I

270
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: putt st a guy. I'm I'm must I must let

271
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: me go back here, but go back? How much with

00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: than not? I much with the cheese? Let me go

Speaker 1: stage mat the white person? No instantly, just a minute?

274
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: How much the tacks on this? What was the three seventeen?

275
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: I had three of them? Right? That should have been

276
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: a fortnite. Yeah. I think some somethings are wrong here.

277
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, Mark, Okay, that's funny, though it's true.

278
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: That's what I'm laughing because again you've taken my engineer.

279
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: He laughing too, you know, in the other side of

280
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: the room, and he's shaking his head, was laughing because

281
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: you know it's true, because it's through that lens that

282
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: you are are sitting there and and observing and and that,

283
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: like I said, in that Denny's restaurant, you know, we're

284
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: all were being served the same food. But I'm just

285
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: looking at your craze behind, going how did you see that?

286
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: Because when I when I see something, I immediately size

287
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: it up as a joke. So I look at it

288
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: and I break it down different ways. Yeah, I'm not educated,

289
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: but I'm the Internet guy. So if I'm if I'm searching,

290
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: if we're talking about money, I'm gonna go on the

291
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: internet and and and find facts that I may not

292
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: repeat them, but it will help me with my facts.

293
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: For example, I'll look up black people and money, the

294
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: first Black people with money in eighteen hundreds. And then

295
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: I'll look at black institutions, black owned banks, so blood

296
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: of the So when I have a prethra of all

297
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: kinds of material that I may not use, but at

298
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: least my attitude and and what I'm talking about is

299
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: based on some kind of facts. And then I'll say

300
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: a little fact because you know, black people, we didn't

301
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: we didn't have banks back then. What the hell did

302
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: we do? We couldn't go to the bank. Think about

303
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: about that. Black people can't go to the bank the

304
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy. Think about that nineteen seventy. And when you

305
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: walk in the steel that that you crazy because they

306
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: look at you crazy. Right now. Don't walk into a

307
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills bank right now, they just get you like

308
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: you can we help you? This is the bank, and

309
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: that feels that can't be healthy. Imagine banking back then,

310
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: banking back then was nine existed. You gave me the the money.

311
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: They we don't happen no more? What happened to it?

312
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: It's gone. Nothing you can do, do you look at

313
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: things kind of thing, nothing you can do. So you know,

314
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: that's what my comedy I tried to be. I try

315
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: to come from a different angle makes me yeah, and

316
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: I try to be agitated. I try not to be stereotypic.

317
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: I try not to hurt another race as we're talking about,

318
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: because you gotta look at people who pay their money.

319
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: White people pay their money, Black people, Filipino, Chinese. If

320
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: I want to go to any commedian, don't give who

321
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: it is. He said something about some black people, I'm done.

322
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm just interested in him. I want

323
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: to go. I want to go, just like that Asian

324
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: person would say the same thing, Just like that white person.

325
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: You go to a black show, and black comedians make

326
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: the white people oh my no, that this week. You know,

327
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: even when Bush, for example, when Bush was in, I

328
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: have to talk about but I have to find a

329
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: way to talk about but but for my white patrons

330
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,640

395
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,520

396
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,560

401
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: Does a mask makes it different? Yes? I think a

402
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: mask definitely makes it difference. If I was president, everybody

403
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 1: would wear a mask. It's just the way it is.

404
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: Even the dogs lose. The animals in the zoo would

405
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: wear a mask. Mask would be mandatory. Yes, you got

406
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: to wear a mask. I would keep people in I

00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: Mr President. Not only we wear a mask. Mr, I

410
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: apologize you're not president yet, but you're running for president.

416
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: of a crime. And we know that that crime. We

417
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,239
Speaker 1: know that they did it by video. Now you know

418
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: in DNA, we know you did it. You killed six people.

419
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: We're about to inject you with the vaccine, sir. And

420
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: and when the people protest, let them protest. We want

421
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: you to this is terrible. We agree take us to court.

423
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: to get the vaccine. And it will be on live

424
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: video so you can see the reaction of what happened.

425
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: So okay, being that you maybe the second black president

426
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: of the United States, and we saw how this state,

427
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: this country was happy. Then it became angered that there

428
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: was a black president. How would you stop this country

429
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: from becoming angered by you becoming the second president? Black

430
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: president states, I cannot stop this country from being angry.

431
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: America was built on anger. If you look at America,

432
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: America has been built on anger. Where you know, so

433
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna be angry at me. Of course they're gonna

434
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: be angry at me, but that's nothing I can't I

435
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: can't worry about that. I got things that will help healthcare.

436
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: For example, when you go to the airport and you

437
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: go to the X ray, we'll use those x rays.

438
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Why you gotta go to x rays, you go to

439
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: the airport, We're gonna use those X rays to determine

440
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: what is wrong with you. So when we're gonna stop

441
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: you excuse me? What do that? You found some water?

442
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,280

443
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,879

00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: plane should be Yeah, hospital should be at the airport.

Speaker 1: him do this role. I love Bentley. I know Bentley well.

469
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: Some of my best work has been with Biley. So

470
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox as Sergeant Easy with Bentley. When I was

471
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: on Martin and Martin as a lawyer, that was with Bentley.

472
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: So Bidley knows me. He's a he's a genius. And

473
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: not only that, he's a great director because he let

474
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: you go when you go on is no, he's not

475
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: directing you to do this and do that. It's basically

476
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: you know you you're an actor and so Billy's an actor, actor, director, director,

477
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: which is awesome. So he lets you do your thing,

478
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: say what you want. I could do anything I want,

479
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: and I love it. In the cut because it was

480
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: a character. I play a guy Wade, who's just fresh

481
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: out of jail. He just got out of jail for

482
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: twenty years. And I get a job at the at

483
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: the barber shop with Doria at the door. So this

484
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: is so, that's the beautiful when I when I heard

485
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: a character like that, I said, I'll take it. And

486
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: so and the character I mean, I'm in character. I'm

487
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: a method actor, so he doesn't put shoes on. I'm

488
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: the only actor who never wore shoes in the scene.

489
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: I wore slippers for the whole season. Okay, for the

490
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: whole now okay, now, cuttn't haird and jail and cutting't

491
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: hair out of jail. It's two different techniques. Because I

492
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: have a brother. He did it. He cut my hand

493
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: and he gripped my head and go, hey, brother, you

494
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: don't have to hurt my head when you cut my head. Okay,

495
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: my hand. The jail cut is completely different. It really

496
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: can't think the jail jail cut. You ain't got no

497
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: marry and you ain't got no you don't get a

498
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: chance to see your hair too. Maybe the next day, right,

499
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: and they gripped your hard and and they just use

500
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: the raise of blade. There you go blade. So so

501
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: you get the opportunity to come on in the cut.

502
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: You win a director, producer who allows you to be you.

503
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: Now how important is that be to trust in your

504
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: natural instinct somebody allowing them to trust you? Because Mark,

505
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's a stand up you. You've had to

506
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: trust yourself all these years, you know, all the way

507
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: from well, one thing about Billy. Billy knows he knows

508
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: the acting. He knows it. And so when you a

509
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: lot of times I go on shows, I don't want

510
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: to say, but you know these shows, I think I

511
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: know funny, but then they think they know funny. To Mark,

512
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: can you just shay it with h more urgency place?

513
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: You know? Mark? Uh say apple and you say apple?

514
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: You said apple. It's apple. It's just one apple? Thank you? Okay, boy?

515
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: You know, And so that that that rack drives me

516
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: crazy because I'm American. I think I'm funny, and I think,

517
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think I know what's funny. You know,

518
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: I helped the show in the syndication. So but that,

519
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 1: you know, so as an actor, bently let you do

520
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: your thing. And then working with Dorian and Khalita, they

521
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: they're just beautiful people. During is nice. He's cool and

522
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: so it ain't no tripping, and he's funny and you know,

523
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: and he and he taught me things. He said, you know, Mark,

524
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: because it was my first time on the set, so

525
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: you're always in the teaching mode. So Dorian help me out.

526
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: So he was the o G on the set, teaching me,

572
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: You can't trust any voting. You can't trust anything in America,

573
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: So you can't trust. Black people should take that word

574
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: trust out of their vocabulary. No black person in America

575
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: should say the word trust in any situation. No trust. No,

576
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: you can't trust anything mail in voting. It's all gonna
