Speaker 1: was wild the g what I got going on up here?

Speaker 2: And man, Gary is no joke, it is. But you

Speaker 1: That's all needs some love.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: But it's a rough town now. Shout to my God.
Speaker 1: Man speaking of rebaps in the city.
Speaker 4: Man, Like we said, Man, you represent the city better
Speaker 4: than like anybody has. And for you to come back
Speaker 4: to the city and bring that energy back to the city. Man,
Speaker 4: We really appreciate that. We love you to tell the people.
Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying. What you got going on in
Speaker 4: that right now?
Speaker 2: Well, you know what Indianapolis is growing. I remember it
Speaker 2: was two buildings downtown. Now there's three. But it's it's
Speaker 2: a growing town, man, you know. And I've always did,
Speaker 2: you know, habitat work with houses, helping people in the
Speaker 2: community and stuff. Most of the stuff I do like that,
Speaker 2: I don't really don't tell nobody, man, you know, it's
Speaker 2: really close to the hip and it's genuine work.
Speaker 1: But I always wanted to bring a.
Speaker 2: Performing art school to Indianapolis for at risk youth, you know,
Speaker 2: because a lot of these kids they don't they don't
Speaker 2: have a they don't have a purpose, man.
Speaker 1: So that's why they.
Speaker 2: Run around here board trying to figure out who they
Speaker 2: are and what they're getting in trouble is because they
Speaker 2: really don't have nothing to look forward to. So I
Speaker 2: want to bring an art school here so kids can
Speaker 2: learn that you don't have to be an actor to
Speaker 2: be rich. You can you can be in a craft service.
Speaker 2: You can work to film the camera, you can there's
Speaker 2: a lot of different jobs in Hollywood that you can
Speaker 2: work and learn and make a great living off of Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, I mean like forty to fifty jobs on
Speaker 2: a movie that people make lots of monchy and kids
Speaker 2: be shocked. They be saying, Damn, I say, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: the guy who runs the sound, who holds the boom.
Speaker 1: They be rich man and millionaires. Yeah sound.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you know, it's a lot of different opportunities.
Speaker 2: So you know, that's what I want to share and
Speaker 2: share with the kids.
Speaker 1: Damn, that's far.
Speaker 4: Like you said, bring opportunities from the city that you
Speaker 4: grew up in, knowing what you know, giving back to
Speaker 4: that's fire man.
Speaker 3: I got to ask you a question though.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, How did Indianapolis prepare you
Speaker 4: for Hollywood?
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, you really don't know it. You know,
Speaker 2: if you if you can make it here, you can
Speaker 2: make it anywhere. You don't know it until you leave,
Speaker 2: you know, because it's so small. You know, your chances
Speaker 2: are really, really small. Your opportunity is a slim and
Speaker 2: again you have to prove yourself over and over when
Speaker 2: you're from here. You know, I had to prove myself
Speaker 2: a million times to people because it's not a big market.
Speaker 2: You know, and when you say it, people are like,
Speaker 2: because they don't have the history on it. It's not
Speaker 2: really a cultural history here, not for black people, right.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: So so when you hear about a black man from Minneapolis,
Speaker 2: I mean half the people don't even if you say Indianapolis,
Speaker 2: they'll say Michael Jackson because they just can't different, different,
Speaker 2: different the fact that Gary from it. They just say Indiana.
Speaker 2: They say Michael Jackson. But Michael Jackson's not from Minnieapolis.
Speaker 2: So you know, it's it has its pros and cons.
Speaker 2: I've learned to use it as a you know, it
Speaker 2: helps me because I'm like, damn, as soon as they
Speaker 2: underestimate me, I'm I'm gone, you know what I mean, Like, Damn,
Speaker 2: oh lord, this is sweet.
Speaker 1: I don't have the big city pressure on me, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's what's though for us, Like we're going
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 4: So like for a lot of people out there, they
Speaker 4: first be with Adianapolis and we want to represent the city.
Speaker 1: Well y'all doing it? Well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, man, I just seen a clip of y'all
Speaker 2: on the Instagram the other day. Man, the little controversial jointy.
Speaker 2: Yeah that but I like that, man, because that's what
Speaker 2: this is about.
Speaker 1: It's out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's about it's about, you know, raising the hairs
Speaker 2: up on people.
Speaker 1: Was arms man ship, get off your feelings, have fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it'd be like legitimates that niggas have at
Speaker 2: barbershops anyway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't have to agree, absolutely absolutely. People take that.
Speaker 2: As a as as an argument or this, but yeah,
Speaker 2: you don't have to agree with nobody. If you don't
Speaker 2: like something, you don't like it. Yeah, but we ain't
Speaker 2: hating on nobody. That's why I be trying to tell
Speaker 2: people to something you don't like.
Speaker 4: You might like the way I might like James Harden,
Speaker 4: but he ain't throwing no slight.
Speaker 1: As James because it's not like the way. More know.
Speaker 1: That's people take that ship out. They both go, We
Speaker 1: just right, which one you prefer? Legends?
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty much, but might back to you. Man, I
Speaker 4: gotta ask a question. You've done so many things in
Speaker 4: your career. What's one role or one thing that she
Speaker 4: was like, Damn, I almost had it. I wish I
Speaker 4: had it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I definitely was wanted to play a full richer
Speaker 2: prior movie. I got a chance to play them in
Speaker 2: it a couple of different times but I wanted to
Speaker 2: play a full with your prior movie, you know, by
Speaker 2: a bio pick. But I played it in a winning
Speaker 2: time about the Lakers fireshow yeah. And I played it
Speaker 2: a little bit in a Nina Simone movie, so I
Speaker 2: got a chance to play them a little bit, but
Speaker 2: not a full movie.
Speaker 4: I remember you doing interview somebody, how you was locked
Speaker 4: into the role and how you got that mold for
Speaker 4: you doing so many different types of cinema, And obviously
Speaker 4: do you have some movies where it's just like, that's
Speaker 4: Mike Epps as a character. How's it for you to
Speaker 4: be like, all right, I need to get into this character.
Speaker 4: How long does it take you to come back to
Speaker 4: Mike Epps.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm always me. Now, I ain't gonna never just
Speaker 2: go all the way away from me. But but I
Speaker 2: always picking and add some nuances of whoever that character is.
Speaker 2: Because the story itself, if you tell it in an
Speaker 2: acting form, it's gonna you you're gonna turn it into
Speaker 2: someone else as long as you following the story, you know,
Speaker 2: and you adding a few little thing character pieces.
Speaker 1: But you know, I really don't never go away too far.
Speaker 2: From myself, you know, I'm still me because we had
Speaker 2: Columbus short on this motherfucker. He said, he turned it
Speaker 2: into the full goddamn character. They got different kind of actors, man, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think Columbus come from like that kind of acting. Yeah,
Speaker 2: when they say if you if he if they say
Speaker 2: your bottle, He'll get on the table and turns the bottle.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm serious. They called him method. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: said he was methodic. Columbs to say were the act
Speaker 1: believe but no method.
Speaker 4: I forgot the gymous name. But he said he was
Speaker 4: a method actress. So he indulged in all his vices.
Speaker 4: He said that kind of led to some of the
Speaker 4: things that happened in his life. I always wanted with
Speaker 4: actors like you know, obviously you you are you in
Speaker 4: every row and that's.

Speaker 2: were clubs. Yeah you know what I mean. It was
Speaker 2: just extra walking around in the club naked.

Speaker 4: your first real payday, you look at that count. It's
Speaker 4: up what you burn your first bread on?
Speaker 1: Oh quarter keylo ten pounds?
Speaker 2: No, man, you know what I bought my mother washingt drive. Man,
Speaker 2: My mother needed to washing drive buy my mother washingt drive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's real. Yeah. I bought my mother because I'm
Speaker 1: from dirt. Man.
Speaker 2: I came from nothing, So you know, I ain't gonna
Speaker 2: be there sugar coating nothing about what I.
Speaker 1: Did with my money. I bought my mama washing.
Speaker 2: And dry, paid a couple of my bills off, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, got a couple of my teeth fixed.
Speaker 4: Tooths, got them fixed. Yeah, but she was was ahead
Speaker 4: of time. You you didn't get the big veneers like
Speaker 4: the raffers getting now.
Speaker 2: No, I got a couple, but they ain't like no,
Speaker 2: they I had a couple left.
Speaker 1: These dudes didn't have none.
Speaker 2: They just the whole thing, with the whole chunky cheese.
Speaker 1: I feel sure, smile. I said, man, what's going on?
Speaker 4: Scrappy shit crazy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So I did the right thing with the money. I
Speaker 1: think that that's cool, man.
Speaker 4: But I couldn't imagine, like you said, grinding the way
Speaker 4: you did. And then for you doing comedy, that's a
Speaker 4: different attention from movies.
Speaker 1: Which one did you prefer to do?
Speaker 4: Like I would say, probably your favorite movie or your
Speaker 4: Netflix special for comedy.
Speaker 1: When you came to the crib, you know what, Man.
Speaker 2: They both serve each other. If I'm doing stand up comedy, it'll.
Speaker 1: Make me good in the movie.
Speaker 2: If I'm doing movies, it'll make people come out to
Speaker 2: see me do stand up.
Speaker 1: So they both service each other.
Speaker 2: Man, you know, so I really really need both of them,
Speaker 2: and one.
Speaker 1: Is not stronger than the other. That's dope.
Speaker 4: I would say, Well, I guess when you get into
Speaker 4: that mode of you know what I'm saying, all right,
Speaker 4: I'm about tap into my comedy band, about to get
Speaker 4: on stage. I'm about to go warm up. What's your inspiration?
Speaker 4: Like you hit a couple of cities and get you
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Just test the ideas, or you're
Speaker 4: just like, all right, I'm locked down for a month.
Speaker 4: Ain't talking to nobody. Y'all see me when I get
Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 2: No, man, I I'm I'm a natural comic, so I
Speaker 2: really don't have to prepare like most comics do. It's
Speaker 2: because I Man, I perform fifty two weekends out the year.
Speaker 2: I'm always out on the road. I'm always doing six
Speaker 2: seven shows in the city. Damn you know, Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I do. I do two shows on Friday, two show,
Speaker 2: Saturday two show, Sunday. By the time it's time for
Speaker 2: me to shoot a movie or shoot a special ship,
Speaker 2: I'm on fire because I never stopped working, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm always working on it. And that's and that's another
Speaker 2: thing like with the the young comics that's on TikTok
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. They don't work hard, so they
Speaker 2: really burned out quick you see them, and then they
Speaker 2: just disappear or they can't act. Is when it's time
Speaker 2: to put them in a movie, they're really not that
Speaker 2: good because they really haven't worked on it long enough.
Speaker 3: What you said, that's the big difference between how you did.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they you did it.
Speaker 3: I kind of movie. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Your favorite character is yeah, babyder Come on, how was it?
Speaker 4: Nobody say that now? Say that? Nobody say that now?
Speaker 1: Not no, nothing.
Speaker 4: The difference between you and the first movie and been
Speaker 4: doing the sequel where you got some of the newer guys,
Speaker 4: I'm sure the acting level was a little bit different,
Speaker 4: like you said, because of that, it's a successful my
Speaker 4: living room instead of having to go through the trial
Speaker 4: air with the fire.
Speaker 2: It is because you're sitting there, sitting there across from
Speaker 2: somebody who's you know, really new at it.
Speaker 1: M hm. You know how that feel? Man? Yeah, when
Speaker 1: you're a rookie and it's like being a rookie in the.
Speaker 4: NBA, you're going to going into somebody who been in
Speaker 4: the league for fifteen years and go and get somebody
Speaker 4: the first year completely different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you, I always see Ice cubas
Speaker 2: being serious? Is he really always that serious?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Even so, man, okay, Ice Cube is he's a He's
Speaker 2: a serious businessman.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure.
Speaker 2: So I think I think that's the side of him
Speaker 2: that people perceive as being, you know, serious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I had a two parts or two I
Speaker 1: was always business. But you know he's got.
Speaker 4: Now. But I'm saying that's a crazy too. YEA was

Speaker 2: telling people he was managing me. Uh, and I got
Speaker 2: off stage and he said, man, Ce want to let you.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what I thought even lying I seen Cube,
Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, I like, you know, you really don't
Speaker 2: say you know, you say you're not star struggle boy.
Speaker 2: When you see somebody like an ice Cube when you're young,
Speaker 2: just to do something to you.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, you know.
Speaker 2: So he put me through the audition process and I
Speaker 2: got the role.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't easy.
Speaker 2: I auditioned for it for like a month, and he
Speaker 2: went out of town and went to went on a
Speaker 2: vacation and came back and I got the row.
Speaker 4: That's good. Yeah, okay, that's crazy. Was fighting right day

Speaker 4: Next Friday, first.
Speaker 2: Ye when I first Sai, I didn't even know you
Speaker 2: was from that. When I found out, we spun that
Speaker 2: ship back over and over a p what haven't Yeah,
Speaker 2: I left Indianapolis when I was twenty years old one
Speaker 2: and move to New York. We lived in New York
Speaker 2: for twelve years and then I've been living in yuh.
Speaker 1: In uh l a okay.
Speaker 2: The first place I went with Chicago, Oh damn the
Speaker 2: block that was.

Speaker 2: this ain't what the business is. Then I moved to Atlanta,
Speaker 2: stayed for a year, and left Atlanta and moved and
Speaker 2: moved to New York State. In New York for twelve years,
Speaker 2: but I didn't know them cities. You couldn't make be
Speaker 2: a star there. I thought you could go to Chicago
Speaker 2: and become a star. But the business is not in
Speaker 2: no city, right business you? The business wasn't even in
Speaker 2: New York, damn. Not for what I did ultimately real
Speaker 2: not really. I mean, if you go to New York
Speaker 2: and in your comic, if you if you're not on
Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live, you ain't on TV. Okay, because they
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of shows in New York that
Speaker 2: makes sense. But it's a great boot camp for a
