WEBVTT - Must Be a White Lady with Kevin Hart 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:04.280 Hi, everybody, it's today. It's Tuesday. Actually it's election day, 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:06.800 so we are recording this episode on election day, and 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.000 we do not know the results of the election. So 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:09.600 here we are. 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:11.600 Are you watching the news? You're gonna wait till later. 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:11.959 Yeah. 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:15.760 I've had a very very busy morning, and I am 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:19.279 choosing to be as optimistic and positive until we have 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:23.319 something to not be optimistic and positive about. I woke 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.799 up this morning, I did a workout. I signed about 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.720 a thousand of my books sheets for my new book 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:34.080 that's coming out next year, and I signed a bunch 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:35.839 so that they can put there called tip sheets, so 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.159 that they put them in the book. And then we 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.440 had a huge contractor meeting with all these new contractors 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.120 that I had to hire to fix my house for 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.960 all the bad contracting does. So that was a big 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:48.879 I wasn't really part of that. I saw it from 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.920 the inside out, people circling the house. But there was 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.720 a lot of very responsible looking men here this morning, 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.120 and that made me feel very excited about the potential 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.160 of my house finally being done one day. And so 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.759 all of my team was here working with everyone, and 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.240 then I did something else. It feels like I've been 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.160 up for almost three days. I'm going to my friend 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.959 Connie's house to watch the election tonight. I do not 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.280 believe that we will have an answer about who won 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.559 the election tonight, but hopefully we'll get some a lots 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.679 of good news. And if you're listening to this on 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.600 Thursday and the election didn't go the way that we wanted, 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.000 I'll be back to discuss that next week. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:29.880 I think that's a great way to put it. My 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.319 dad went in for surgery today. He said he doesn't 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.280 want to be present for the results. He wants to 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.559 be sedated, So he's having a heart surgery today. 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.880 That's good. Yeah, that's the right way. That's good. I 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.480 will also be sedated. I haven't chosen what drug is 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.240 going to do that yet. I have to go up 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.800 to my little drawer and figure out what kind of goodies. 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.480 I have so many goodies. I have so many new 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.080 goodies to try out. So I don't know what excellent 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.440 something that says love all over it. So maybe I'll 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:58.279 pop one of those suckers fantastic. I feel love. Also, people, 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.720 we need more of questions.

First of all, I 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.720 was in Vegas this weekend. I saw A Dell on 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.840 Friday night, which was amazing, before my show at Caesar's 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.840 on Saturday night, which was amazing, Thank you so much. 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.520 It was so much fun. I loved how many people 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.720 came out. It was so so much fun. I had 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.200 it like forty eight hours of great times in Vegas. 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:58.600 And then Kevin Hart I ran into unfortunately at Adele 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.160 and he grew uped me. I groped him too, and 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.680 then we decided to go gambling. He was with Anico, 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.359 his wife. I was with my cousin Molly, and I 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.320 would just like to say that the amount of money 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:12.480 that Kevin lost during our gambling session in his private 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.840 gambling room that was attached to his hotel room is 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:19.400 too embarrassing to say on this podcast. You're an idiot anyway. 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.240 Our guest today stars in Peacock's Fight Out along with 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.760 every other movie that you'll ever seen in your life, 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.080 and you can catch him on his newest comedy tour, 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.480 acting my age, and he is definitely not acting his age. 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:36.040 Please welcome Kevin Hart. This is my friend, long longtime friends, 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.680 Kevin Hart. I'm very happy to see your face. I'm 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.840 always happy to see you. Actually, I always love to 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.760 see your face in the beginning, at first glance in 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.240 the beginning, like I see you coming and I think, 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:51.120 oh fun, this will be fun. Well then it's not 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.360 a dip, but I just there's I think there's an 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.080 anticipatory level of excitement when I get to see you. 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:57.760 Great word. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.200 Yeah, well, you've used a couple words wrong in the 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:01.960 short time that you've been here, so I had to 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.800 correct his grammar as I do so hopefully you know 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.080 if you say anything wrong here. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.480 Good news is I'm with the dictionary. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.600 And you're only an hour late today, which for you 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.000 is early late. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.640 I call you're not late when you give a heads 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.400 up to two and a half hours before. 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:22.240 When you say that's fine that you're late, I don't care, but. 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.000 I want to make it back. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.520 You said I'm on my way at eleven o'clock and 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.280 we were supposed to be here at eleven fifteen. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.880 Totally five in East Bubblefuck. I'm on the other side. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:33.840 I'm in Calabasas well. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.920 That's where the cheaper homes are. I guess, come over 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.000 the hill, right. I don't know why you live in Calabasas. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.120 Because I don't want to backyard the size of my hand. Yeah, 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.599 how about that? Maybe that's why, Kevin. 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:45.919 What do you have to say for yourself? 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:47.760 What do I have to say for myself? 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:48.679 In general? 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.599 In general, I have to say I'm proud of me. 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.560 You are, Yeah, I'm proud of you too. 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.600 If I had to say something, I would say that, 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.919 I would. I would say, though we're we're in a 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.839 different time. I'm getting older, so now. 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.560 You like you're getting older? Absolutely, I feel like I'm 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.320 fucking crushing it and I'm forty nine. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:05.719 Well, yeah, I'm getting older. 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.800 Doesn't mean but I mean it looks wise like body wise, 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.680 you know, like, well, I've always been curious about your 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.880 desire to work so much. I know you want to 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.479 Well no, I'll let you speak about why you want 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:19.920 to work as hard as you work. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.880 I mean, look, half of it's fair, half of its commitment. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.039 It's the idea of completion. So starting something you're not finishing, 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.039 and it doesn't sit well with me. So right now, 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.159 there's so much that I've started, right, not just in 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:38.440 entertainment or comedy or acting, you know, from a creative space. 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.560 Once you start building businesses and once you start developing 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.920 like an infrastructure full of minds and people to help 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.400 this thing last forever, it gets more difficult as you 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.279 go on. It's not easy building a business with businesses 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.200 in it. So completion, like, I feel like I have 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.559 to complete the task at hand. 0:05:58.760 --> 0:05:59.680 And what that. 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.480 Looks like, it's still it's still to be determined, right 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.840 because it's constantly growing, it's expanding. So what once was 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.640 just the idea of a production company has turned into 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:15.719 an independent studio that's turned into a multi layered entity 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:23.200 with a VC attached with fun and development and opportunities 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.599 to merge and partner with like it's grows and grows 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:27.839 and grows, and you look up and you got a 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.360 staff of so many it's like, well, fuck, I can't 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.360 stop if I wanted to, because now I've invested all 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.800 this time and people have invested time into the thing 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:37.960 that I believe in, so now I owe them. 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.520 The return of energy. And it just keeps going. 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.400 But I think I do believe by time I'm fifty 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.599 to fifty three that a lot of these things should 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.599 have hard punctuations on them. And then I can kind 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.040 of sit back and go, wow, man, it's dope. 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:54.599 Did that happen? 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:55.680 And how old are you now? 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:56.599 Forty five? Now? 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.960 Okay, forty five? So tell me about how you hand 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.920 difficult situations in business, like when something doesn't go your way? 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.039 How do you how have you learned and grown to 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:08.239 deal with that kind of stuff? 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.720 That's the easiest thing to understand in business. The bulk 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.880 of things don't go your way at first. All ideas 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.080 are bad. Idea is to most. You got to prove 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.960 your case. And what you'll find for me is that 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.320 a resume without receipts is just it's just a piece 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.360 of paper, It's just words. Proof of concept is important. 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.760 So without a proof of concept, I'm always selling you 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.280 on an idea. What I've learned is that an idea 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.520 is something that comes a dimind dozen. Everybody has one. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.480 But if my idea comes with a return, that's a 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.360 different thing. So how do I put myself in the 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.560 best position to make my partners understanding there's a mutual 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.280 alignment where if I win, you win, If you win, 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:45.680 I win. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.280 And that's also a track record. Right with all of 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.320 this stuff you've done, people can trust your company, your brand, 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.960 your you know whatever you're calling yourself these days. Okay, 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.400 what are you calling yourself. 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.240 These you just said? I think you just you just 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.880 went through it. You're right, right, brand, you know, the 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:02.600 business man. 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.640 And then I'm very curious because I know how close 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.320 you are with your wife and your family. And this 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.840 may sound like a boring question, but I am very 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.560 curious as to how you managed to balance everything and 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.000 spend enough time with your family and your wife and 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:16.440 your kids. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.280 It's a system. It's like a it's a routine system. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.440 So if you've been doing it long enough, you'll find 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.720 that any routine is very easy to stay true to. 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.080 There's no different from waking up early in the morning 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.280 going to the gym than going to work. After the gym, 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.360 they're making it home for dinner, eat dinner with the kids, kids, 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.440 go to sleep, then you watch a movie, then you 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.360 go to sleep, you wake up masturbate. 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.360 Yeah, well yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, and I have time. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:41.439 You probably are doing it. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:43.120 I don't think I need to. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.000 Okay, that's why it's weird that you're doing I get. 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.640 It, which is which is once again, I just don't 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.080 feel like I don't need. 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.880 To, right, you don't need to address it. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.480 Fine, but I don't need to address I don't need 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.000 to do it. My wife, I'm hot, I think. 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.400 Yeah, well that's a separate conversation. I'm having her on 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:57.880 next week. 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:58.880 Well, I mean, if. 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.520 You want to talk to her finally, she's going to 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.320 do is tell you. I want to jump his bones 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.079 all the time, and I would too. I walked by me, 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.839 and I want to get a piece of that. No, 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.800 There's were times where I've looked at myself in like 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.160 a reflection, I'm like, I fuck, I get it. 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:14.800 Yeah, yeah, I don't know if you did. 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.480 You actually don't even have to look in the mirror, 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.560 because if you turn onto television. You can just watch 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.360 yourself at any sort of credit card commercial or airline 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.640 commercial or toe spacers commercial. It really doesn't matter what 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.680 you're promoting. Have you ever worn toe spacers? 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:27.960 Okay? 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.440 No, okay, well I just started wearing them the other day. 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.880 Well, I'm not gonna wear them, and I don't need what. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.880 If your toes to stay apart? 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:35.880 No? I don't. 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.520 Why not? I didn't know what to get a bion? 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.000 Okay, then you get a bunion? 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:41.679 No, but you want to do you want to look 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:42.240 at a bunion? 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:43.800 I don't want to look at a bunion. And if 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.880 I had to, I don't care. I'm at an age 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.240 where you think I care about my feet. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.400 I would hope. So what do you mean? Forty five? 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.719 You're not dead. You a whole lifetime ahead of you. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:54.719 This is what it is. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.320 This is mid century. You have another hopefully fifty forty 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.960 five fifty years and you to go around. 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.640 With by no desire to correct my feet? You know 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.000 you know what? I equate that too, like people that 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.319 are sixty that get bracest. It's too late. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:09.040 I agree with this. 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:14.400 It's over. It's over. Why don't you wait until now? 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.599 Sixty years old, you're gonna fix it up. They be 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.960 done dealt with it through all this time. Leave it alone. 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.440 That's how I feel about my feet now. To answer 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.839 your question about my kids, my kids in my time, 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.959 it's a system. I'm dedicated to a home schedule, and 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.160 if I'm filming a movie, it changes. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.080 But it's the reverse of touring. 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.360 Right. Like touring, you're going on the weekends, you're home 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.840 during the week. If I'm filming a movie, I'm going 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.280 during the week, but I'm home on the weekends. So 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.120 the kids understand that, and they have and they grow 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:50.200 up understanding what my job is. And when dad's home 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.480 it's great. And when he's going, we know what you're doing. 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:53.600 But we talk all the time. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.719 My younger kids, I think are are going to get 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:01.520 a different, very different version because I'm down a little bit. 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.040 So well, yeah, I mean, I need to be home 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.360 more and I can, like I have the luxury of 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.800 working from the office at home, so I don't have 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.679 to be in the office as much or have to 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:16.080 be on the go as much. I think the bigger 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.280 things have gotten You're in a position where you can 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:22.520 delegate and have other people kind of execute things where you, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:24.880 once upon a time had to do it yourself. I 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.760 don't have to do as much as that anymore. So 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.600 my younger kids definitely get a I think a bigger 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.800 dose of me than my olders did at this age. 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.560 But my older kids were so close like yah, now is. 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.480 They're getting the dose that they need. I would say 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.680 that that is the most important age. Your older kids 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.720 are at the age where they need you the most. 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.840 They need your influence the most absolutely. 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:47.360 You know. 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.400 What I like is that they're comfortable enough to talk 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:51.520 to me, good or bad. 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.160 There's no secrets. I mean, the probably are well within reason. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:54.480 I noticed. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.240 This is probably things that my kids don't tell me, and 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.440 like any kid, I get it right. But there's a 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.640 lot that they do come to the table with that 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.280 we talk about. And you know, I like the fact 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:08.200 that they are very confident that there is no bad 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:12.120 reaction from their father, Like it's dialogue all the time 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.040 and it's never met with a negative energy or an 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:15.920 angry tone. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.560 And that, to me, that's what I'm most proud of 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:19.200 with them. 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.880 Like that, that's where I can see the benefit of 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.720 our relationship or the time that we're spending, Like I 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.880 can see it paying off in real time. 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:28.560 Yeah, because of the people that they were coming. 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's nice. 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.160 Yes, that's my that's my win. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.240 What do you think about when you think about your 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.480 own childhood and you think about what your kids have, 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:37.920 what do you think about that? 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.440 It's crazy, man, because you know, you don't see this happening. 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.280 And the way I grew up, how I grew up, 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.959 I was a happy kid. I was a happy fucking 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.960 kid man, and with less. And the reason why I 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.960 was happy is because you just appreciated the things that 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.320 you had or that you were able to do. Going 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:04.040 outside was a big deal. Playing with my friends outside 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:08.079 was a big deal. Playing basketball in the schoolyard was 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:11.000 a big deal. Walking to the store to buy candy 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.720 was a big deal. Those were the big things. Like 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:19.360 we didn't need the grandioso version of trips and adventures, 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.400 like we had the steps. We had the walk from 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.960 where we lived to meet up at a friend's house, 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.280 to go to the playground, to go back from there 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.440 to a friend's house, sit outside, play a game that 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.360 we created, go back to the house, step repeat, Like 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.560 that's it. If you were lucky, you were in some 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.760 extracurricular activities. I swam, played basketball. My mom did the 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:41.520 best that she could. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.800 Yeah, when you talk about that, that makes me nostalgic 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.160 from my own childhood actually, because there was an electricity 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.920 in the air, like even just going out in the 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.440 street after school and playing like red Rover, Red Rover 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.160 with the neighbors all on the street. It's like, where 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.920 does that happen anymore? Where did other neighborhoods in Minnesota 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.920 where that that happens? Yeah, not in Los Angeles. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:04.000 I think the kids that are fortunate enough to grow 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.480 up in the neighborhoods, and by that I mean, like, 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:11.720 you know, where there's a nice connectivity within community. People 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:17.000 live in close proximity, and the kids grow up knowing 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.400 that friends across the street are down the street, and 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:24.240 as they get older, that rapport gets better. Now you know, 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.000 it's not my kid's fault, but respectfully, we don't we 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.160 don't have neighbors right, Like there's. 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.120 No walking to the house down the street. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:36.360 Like we're living to hopefully get a high level of 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:41.640 privacy and exclusivity just in home because we don't want 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.120 to be bothered or we don't want to be approached 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.760 or it's me, it's not them. So because of that 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.120 life that we now live, they don't have that. So 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:51.920 it changes. But then the kids get old enough and 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.440 they're driving. So my kids are driving at the age sixteen, 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.280 and that I can go to my friend's house and 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.360 after that we're gonna go meet and do whatever. You 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.200 have a little bit more freedom, but the idea of 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.680 what you're doing is different from what I was doing. Right, 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.760 it's I don't my kids aren't hanging out after school. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.880 They're not hanging out at the school and not breaking 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.560 the next to go to pet rowllies or the football games. 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.320 It's different now, and you know, electronics and social media, 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.120 it's changed all of that to where from afar people 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.880 feel close, but you don't have the same synergy. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:25.800 Don't you think you're addicted to social media? 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:27.880 No? As and I could give two shits about it, 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.800 but at one point it was it was what drove 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.080 the machine. So I'm one of the early winners in 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.800 the space of social media about understanding the value of it. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.560 Like anything else, is going to be getting bad. 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:45.600 I think that the bad is a little more present today, 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.680 but I also think that the good is watching this 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.000 younger generation crack the code and figure out like a 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.240 different side of economic payoff. They've cracked the code to 0:15:56.320 --> 0:16:00.960 where the value in return and energy creative on social 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:06.200 media is making them millions of dollars live streaming, gaming, vlogging, 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:06.920 you name it. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.240 They've cracked the code and made of the business. 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.520 So you're looking at a lot of people take care 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.120 of themselves and their families from doing the thing that 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.720 we thought was like real simple and just one note. 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.560 They've created a teer to it. So I think my 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.920 hat off to them, but I also understand, like I don't. 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:25.760 I don't do that. I don't have that much. 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.240 I don't have to do that. Well, you don't have 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.080 to do that. It's also yeah, okay, moving on from 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.960 that subject, because who cares. I want to ask you 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.040 what are you most proud of as a person, Not 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.000 of your accomplishments, but what is like a lesson that 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.240 you learned that you didn't have to learn more than 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.400 you know once or twice that you're proud of, like 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.120 understanding that lesson. 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.800 I think the biggest lesson I'll probably say is don't 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:54.800 expect others to give you what you give them, Right, 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.320 Like one of the biggest things that I'm now very 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:03.800 comfortable with understanding is my heart is different and the 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.800 energy attached to making others feel good or to put 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.400 others in a position to do good is a high 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:14.160 level energy. And just because you have that, it doesn't 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.520 mean that other people should. Everybody operates differently, right, and 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.160 everybody shows their love or shows their value or shows 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:25.399 their I guess you can say commitment differently. Yeah, so 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:30.840 I took the pressure off of others when I stop 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.359 expecting you to do what I do or to work 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:35.800 the same way that I wol Did that. 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.520 Happen when you met the Plastic cup boys. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.720 I mean, me and my guys have definitely had our peaks, 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:45.720 hills and valleys. But I think they're all not only talented, 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:50.080 but they're all chasing different things for themselves. So you 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.360 go through this period where you want the most for everybody, 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.320 and if they're not doing what you think, then you 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:57.960 don't think that they're doing enough or are. 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.600 You go through a period where you want you feel 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.680 like you're helping so many people, and then when they 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.040 exceed beyond what you've provided for them, when they have 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.440 their own success beyond what you've given them. There can 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.840 be friction because you're like, wait, wait, wait, you're going out. 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.320 The whole idea is for everyone to fly by themselves, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:19.119 but some people in leadership positions want to hold on 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.080 to everybody and say, don't exceed beyond the success that 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:23.080 I've given you. 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:23.800 You know that. 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.560 That's an interesting point because I don't. I don't suffer 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.200
